Is there no one who would invest capital in order to earn only hundreds of millions of dollars?
People make a big deal about fugu in Japan and the cost is exorbitant. In Korea, it's just another fish, costs a fraction of what it does in Japan, and there are restaurant chains offering it in a variety of dishes. As a meat, it's nothing special. It's a pretty bland white fish, not as firm as cod but firmer than catfish.
So now you're saying that everybody's dogs are causing global warming and Peta was right?
And if they're not, then eventually they're going to be made of something (that is going to be made of something and so on) that is pointlike. Very probably. If not, which will be a surprising result, then it's still going to be empty space.
This is very cool. Could also be repurposed into a podcast recording thing.

I have plenty of experience in Natural Language Processing (NLP), but I am not an expert in ethics and bias – although I have read my fair share of papers on it. To me, the abstract comes across as modest, very reasonable, and exploring questions highly relevant to the community as a whole. Sure, if I was to review it I would be picky in regards to any strong empirical claims since I suspect it would be difficult to demonstrate conclusively some aspects of what they hint towards in the abstract. But as a position paper it looks better than plenty of work already published at top-tier NLP venues and I doubt that it could not get accepted on academic merits.

Still, to echo the parent, does anyone have the paper in its entirety?
A certain Ghislaine Maxwell seems to have been a very active moderator too. It's not a radical idea that all major social media platforms are now under attack (possibly successfully) from people and organizations pushing narratives and becoming a moderator is probably the easiest way to do it.
In matters of "being good vs. bad," those who seek to swing exceptionally one way, are most times fighting an inner war against accepting the other in themselves.

Call it overcompensation; perhaps even a convenient indulgence, to wash away one's real face.

5. what is the point?
Go into debt, mostly.

Going off the 2019 numbers, so pre-pandemic: 10% of Americans have a negative net worth. 30% of americans are on means-tested benefits: Medicaid, foodstamps, TANF, WIC, welfare, or section 8. An additional 20% on top of that, or more than 50% of Americans, receive federal subsidies, so do not fully pay for their own insurance.

Even for those who qualify as "with insurance", for the above specification, do not possess insurance nearly to the scale that is implied in the above quote of $2500 per month. Of the 86% insured (the number rose from 10% in 2018 to 13.7% in 2019), 20% are on individual plans with a deductible over $5000.

Fewer than 40% of Americans actually have healthcare insurance of the quality implied above -- which makes sense, because $2500 a month is actually a reasonable figure, and that exceeds wages for 40% of Americans. Reminder that 30% of Americans live at or below the poverty line, and receive government assistance for basic needs of food and shelter.
But GDP is most certainly not a measure of wealth, and not doing it per capita makes no sense.

https://www.britannica.com/topic/gross-domestic-product

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth

Edit: GDP is more like income than wealth, and not per-capita makes no sense because the expense of welfare programs would be on a per-person basis.
That title was too long to submit, so I tried to shorten it in a way that seemed fair to me.

The study found no effect on their measured clinical outcomes after vitamin D level supplementation.
All these numbers are very very low, when you consider that this is essentially how Parisian are supposed to go to and from work, get food, go to school, the dentist and so on.

The best RER gets you late around 1 every 20 trip. So once every 2 weeks on average if you count two trips per day. The worse one doesn't get you on time almost every other day !

You basically have to factor the unreliability of the transport system every single trip. This is very far from something you can count on. Even for the best lines.
No amount of privacy makes Reddit less of a cesspool.
Probably it won't help to get around VPN, but for mobile I prefer reddit is fun app. Simple and usable without any crap.
The fundamental principle of marginalism is, er, marginalism: that the derivative of supply or demand functions is what determines market price (not to be confused with "value", though it often is). The marginal cost or value.
For those who haven't experienced homelessness personally, doing volunteer (or paid) work for homeless shelters/outreach centers etc, or in mental health treatment centers, is one of the best ways to gain a fairly deep perspective, and get close to feeling what that perspective feels like, without actually walking a mile in those painful, broken shoes.

My homeless experience was incredibly brief (4-5 months) compared to the struggles of so many people I met during that time, but it had profound, permanent effects on my level of empathy I feel towards people still going through it. If you are struggling in your own life, dealing with depression or anxiety despite your white collar and comfortable financial situation, it can be a humbling and powerful experience to meet people who have no money, no friends, no family, and no support, not even from their own minds. Helping serve food at a shelter or something in that ballpark can be incredible for learning more about yourself as well as those folks, and you both gain from that relationship.
This was a fun game to play:

Are you autistic?

"The most wealthy nation in the history of the world" is a cliche connoting "very advanced first world civilization that should not have this problem."

Just the same when someone says "I said hello to John," they don't mean they literally said "hello," and then nothing more.

Editors note: It's easy to attribute malice to others when you view the world through that lens. If you've never sincerely asked a question that could come off as rude or impolite, then you haven't lived at all.

Biggest problem with Reddit is the giant echo chamber. Feels a lot like twitter. Super aggressive replies if you’re against the grain.
This is how most 'fascist' states work- theoretical controls on each and every aspect, laxly imposed on everyone but the deplorables.
Stimulus doesn't care about your backend, it's pure client side JS. You just load it (Stimulus itself and your controllers) and it looks for Stimulus stuff inside your HTML.

StimulusReflex is a Rails thing that's much more involved than Stimulus.
I'm sorry, but that's no more true than when the ultimatum is the other way around.

I think that statement presumes some degree of unreasonableness. Honestly, I value having employees that have principles and clear boundaries, if for no other reason than I can rest assured that when I'm not observing/involved, those principles and clear boundaries are still there. Now, if those principles are, "I won't accept that paying me gives you any kind of authority over what I do", then you know that's not going to work out for anyone involved. However, if it is something like, "You can't pay me enough to do X", and I have no desire for them to do X, I'm really okay with that.
> Even if you divide by ten different queues, there should be enough granularity to give decent matchups to people at all skill levels.

Could be. I don't know what the numbers look like, and I wouldn't be surprised if the player base is being split up in other ways (e.g. console vs. PC, geographic regions, etc) at the same time.

> And I don't know if I would call combined arms or dirty bomb signature modes.

By "signature modes", I mean that those game modes were created specifically for CoD: Cold War, rather than ones which are shared by many FPS games, or carried over from previous games in the series.
Good Things About Being Curious
> "Don’t bother with man pages." Strongly disagree.

Me too. I don’t want to jump to a different program, plus man pages are greppable. And you want the man pages that apply to the machine you’re using (versions, etc) — especially important when you’re using a remote machine (think how common then idiom is to do `ssh foo man blah|less` )
I would ask, how would you know how to detect this sort of thing, unless you’ve already done the same thing yourself?
It depends a lot on the subreddit. Different subreddits can have different echo chambers.

I find these CO2 arguments from model training extremely misleading. If this is what you care about, why don't you actually try to make electricity cleaner. Realistic, that's a much more effective way to address this tiny issue, together with the grand total of 50% of humanity's CO2 emissions on top. To me it always seems like virtue signalling, showing that you "care", while not having to actually make any realistic progress. Go build nuclear power plants, or at least prevent them from shutting down, if you want you're electricity to be at 12 g CO2 / kWh rather than 500 from natural gas or 800 from oil (you can also move your servers to France or Ontario). Do not focus on tiny, 10% efficiency gains in NLP. That's a marginal gain within a miniature cause to start with.
Exploiting value is not the same as creating value. By building things that you need yourself, you are creating value.
> GP's point still stands. MS-DOS fits that range without 64-bits

32-bit Unix timestamps would have a broader range than MS-DOS timestamps if they made the same sacrifice in resolution and only had 2-second precision rather than single-second precision [1]. And if Unix timestamps additionally used 32-bit unsigned numbers to sacrifice the ability to represent timestamps before the beginning of the epoch, then the year 2038 problem would instead be more of a year 2242 problem.

Make Peace with Your Unlived Life(2016)
Stimulus has nothing to do with Turbolinks.
If you were familiar with the data, you wouldn't make statements like that, because heritability of intelligence is largely the same across all population studied so far, and universally high. There are exceptions, e.g. Scarr-Rowe effect is most likely real, but it only seems to work on very low end of SES range, which is virtually unseen in today's America, even at the lowest end of what counts as poverty.
>Why should the lucky one on top capture most of the value?

Because they were first or best to do it. MySpace was already a thing, several other social media sites but today they're mostly dead while FB is not. Luck does have a lot to do with it. I feel trying to quantify luck though will get us no where. Trying to "correct" for it, even more so.

>The people like Newton and Einstein who actually had revolutionary ideas were not even close to billionaires.

Do you think they should be? I cannot think of a reason... but I do understand what you mean.

>I am not sure why you feel that "taxing rich people" makes everyone worse off.

I think it would be hard to quantify it but yes, I do think people are "worse off" - not by much though, if you're going by metrics like salary. I'm thinking about all the advances we've made. I don't see half the stuff happening if not for the ability for excess money to be invested. I mean, the very thing we're talking on for instance (and yea maybe it could have been on some other site like FB or reddit) but those are also because of investing.

>60 years ago a man with a high school diploma could support a middle class life for a family of 4. Taxes on the highest earners were much higher than they were today. 60 years before that there was no federal income tax and people worked 14 hour days in dangerous conditions while Carnegie and Rockefeller amassed wealth on scales not seen until today.

I don't see how the two are related though. There were a lot of things different about back then vs today.
I would like to see the focus be on rent and CoL as I see those as way more of a problem than if Jeff Bezos has $50b or $100b. (his wealth has fluctuated like crazy with covid and divorce).

>But yes I agree with you that a tax on each market trade is lol stupid. But I think it is a straw-man argument

I'm glad you agree and also glad its not like twitter or reddit where we have to try to score cheap condescending shots in to "argue" lol... but alas. I would say if its the very thing presidential candidates like Bernie and Andrew Yang are saying they would like to get done, I would consider that beyond a straw man.

https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/why-bernie-s...
https://www.yang2020.com/policies/financial-transaction-tax/

It is also what people are pushing as a solution for student debt.

I agree the 100% tax is a strawman though! ... Unless a significant figure proposes it, I will always say that's a strawman lol
We are indeed far from the original argument that billionaires and creating value are bad. But I respect your right to petition the government to bring back housing projects and welfare cheese.
I was exaggerating to make a point on a different comment you made about "government bad". I forgot I was on the internet for a second and couldn't use rhetoric. Rest assured, if you want to take the money from Bezos and invest it in Medicare for All and expanding fiber internet to rural Appalachia, I am 110% onboard.

> You still haven't explained exactly how you would make this happen. Forced stock sales? Government mandated price caps on stocks? What? Is Bezos supposed to write a check for $130B? You realize it's not sitting in cash in a bank account, right?

Assume that Congress can edit a database of every citizens' net worth by legislative fiat. Answer the question about how lessening economic inequality is going to negatively impact the average American.

> But more importantly, you are the one proposing a radical change to the status quo. The onus is on you to prove, not only that the change is not harmful (not at all apparent from historical evidence) but that it will provide some benefit that will outweigh the cost to implement it. I mean a benefit besides "It makes me feel bad when people are richer than me, and I'll get to enjoy some schadenfreude if they get knocked down a peg".

Disagree. I'm proposing a return to a previous status quo that was more broadly equitable. The onus was on the neoliberals to prove the changes they were making in the 80s and 90s weren't harmful. Turns out they were. Again, you are reducing my argument down to my feelings, but I don't personally give a fuck if Jeff Bezos is a ba-zillionaire, so it's not really hitting home - I'll be fine either way. I just think it's bad for society generally when a few jerks with money get to have private space programs in a country with millions in poverty and homeless. I'm not a huge fan of bloody prole revolutions or fascist coups, personally. That's just me.

> What you are proposing is not the New Deal, nor the Marshall Plan, nor any economic policy that has been tried in the US before. The New Deal did not involve confiscating 73% of the wealth of billionaires (or the inflation-adjusted equivalent). It did not involve taxing unrealized gains on stocks. The US has never had a wealth tax before. Most countries that have had one ended up repealing it because it's expensive to enforce compared to the amount of revenue it brings in and wealthy people, unsurprisingly, are quite capable of moving to another country that doesn't have a wealth tax.

Again, I'm not proposing any specific remedy, so you are assigning an argument I haven't made. I'm totally fine with re-appropriating the money, but you seem to really hate the idea of giving the government having any ability to direct funds. I'm diagnosing the problem, and asking what you think would be the negative impact if we simply took away 73% of the wealth each billionaire holds, which you won't answer, because you know the answer is "nothing bad". Many countries aren't the United States. If the billionaires want to try offshoring their money and renouncing their citizenship, I'll trust the (ideally, re-empowered) Treasury and the State of New York to get our money.
What Ecstasy Does to Octopuses(2018)
OP said the objective was to create a critical mass of people refusing so companies would have to adapt. That's what wouldn't work.

If it's just a niche job board then that's not an issue, but it also seems like one of those things that should have been done already, probably has been, and isn't popular for a reason.

I guess that's not the app but still.

it's not that we don't have standard(s); it's the problem of adoption.
Daemon+web results in exactly that, two apps. Electron allows a single app to be developed i.e. you dont have to think about how to ferry the data back and forth (or at least when you do you hace more options than "how can i shove this over http"). IMO that is infibitely more valuable than dealing with browser inconsitencies in 2020.
"Modern" BASICs/Pascal are also otherwise decent languages that suffer from a reputation of newbies writing bad code with them.
It’s like you are going out of your way to prevent people from taking a harmless supplement which may actually save their life or at worst (what is even the worst?). I’m baffled by the motivations.

If ever there was a low risk supplement to at least consider, getting your vitamin D in check is probably the lowest hanging fruit we have ever seen.

Creating a reverse tunnel/tunnel manager for Kubernetes
The discrepancy between $10.4 million net worth and $515k income (which I assume includes gains) confused me for a moment, until I realized that the $10.4 million figure likely includes at least one large non-income-producing piece of real-estate.
I was a little disappointed in the quality of this research. I can see where Google is coming from. Some of these topics seem regurgitated (e.g. bias in online text) and some are just irrelevant (CO2 emissions). Training language models does not contribute in any meaningful way to global CO2 emissions. Overall not a very strong paper in contrast to the other reactions I've been seeing online.
I feel like there's a certain je ne sais quoi to the comments Google employees write where I can just immediately sense them without even needing to check.
I need to look into it a bit more, when I used Apollo images were loading so fast I assume they are preloaded before I even clicked on them. If that is the case, that’s not ideal for me - I’ve seen NSFW content make the front page, but I don’t click on it. Just not sure if it is actually loading the content regardless.
How frequently do you use that, and do you do so for projects with stakes? As in, you do it professionally where results are expected. If so, you probably work within a team. Does your team also use this to do their work? How do you ship things?
1438 pounds of CO2 is 250 liters of gasoline, or thereabouts, that's pumping gas five times. How long does a tank of gas last the average Google employee? Less than a week, considering what East Bay traffic looks like. People get paid to publish that stuff?
Native apps are inherently faster, because the browser is much more bloated than the native windowing system (it's millions lines of code on top of that), it's just it's very easy to write slow software in any environment.
It's exactly what I've been doing, give or take a few years. I also take the time to boot up my Win95 VM and test in IE3, Netscape in Wine, Lynx, w3m, and many others, with and without JS.

The result is designs I can actually be proud of, not ashamed.

Of course, no one is paying me for it. And that's OK. I'd rather be doing this for frew than getting six figures working on advertising bullshit which will be gone tomorrow.
We are advanced primates who evolved to live in small tribes. We expect our fellow tribespeople to cooperate which includes sharing resources to some degree. Billionaires are the equivalent to a tribeman finding a way to get 10,000 fish a day and keeping it all for themselves. It is so far beyond what they can eat that not sharing any of it would be extreme antisocial behavior, and would cause severe consequences, like getting kicked out of the tribe. If another tribesman started speculating "that, hey we are still as well off as before so is he really that bad", it wouldn't be taken as philosophical musing but as defending behavior that hurts the survival of the tribe.
Firefox Send had a known malware problem for awhile but when it was used to successfully target a NGO the pressure forced Mozilla to pull the plug. At least that’s the version that’s publicly available.

If Firefox had used something other than firefox.com the brand trust could be decoupled from the service but by offering it for free they received PR. Catch 22 I think.

The nature of Mozilla not having access to the files eliminated any sort of scanning/vetting and malicious actors quickly exploited it.

If Firefox had decided to charge for send I’m sure fraudulent payments would have been used to procure accounts intended for malware. That could have helped expire out malicious links before unsuspecting users clicked them
but it wouldn’t have completely addressed the issue.
