> Umm what's the incentive or motivation behind making this trade able?

Water is a scarce commodity used in industry. Since there is more demand than supply, supply has to be allocated in some way. Markets are the ordinary way of doing that.

What do you propose as an alternative? Here are some examples.

The first option is to give everyone the same amount of water, and prohibit anyone with more than they need from selling it, since that would be back to markets again. That obviously doesn't work, because some, like farms and power plants, need more than the typical household, and they would have no way to get it.

Another option would be to make water free to everyone. Use as much as you want. But it's scarce, so some would water their lawn in the middle of a drought and people would die.

Another option would be central planning. The politburo would decide how much water everyone gets. This requires your politicians to be smart enough to make better allocations than markets would and then actually apply that intelligence to the problem even when there is no personal benefit in doing that and a large personal benefit from corrupt allocations. Historically the results of doing things this way have ranged from mediocre to presiding over the deaths of millions of people.

Markets work better than all of those things, so what do you propose that works better than markets?

Note that there is a version of the first option that works great in combination with markets -- everyone gets a minimum amount of water required to live and then all the rest of the water is sold in the market. But then you still have markets for water.
But then consider following hypothetical but possible scenario:

Sorry until you pay, no more Amazone services for your company.

Now you must move to a new cloud provider (or make a new company).

Oh, wait they now interchange (bad) customer information to better find fraud and you just got marked at "owning a lot to amazon" so no cloud for you anymore at any provider.

Now you want to buy your own hardware. So you need a credit from the bank, but dang, your owe to much to a big company and the bank now, so no credit for your company either.

While part of above's scenario is luckily not how reality currently works. But then who knows when (part of) such a horror scenario becomes reality.

In the end relaying on forcibly not paying back money you contractually own is just not a very viable strategy in my view.
Honestly it wasn’t terrible back then. We were just poor. Could be worse.

Government has certain duties, but the media should absolutely be held to certain standards by the public. We (as in the public) can't just allow media outlets to spout lies completely contrary to the truth. Free speech is protection from government interference. But the public absolutely should be able to seek redress from bad media, including those that facilitate bad actors.
Thanks for sharing that. Appreciate it!
> The Senate introduced the similarly stupidly named HEALS act. It takes two to tango.

It didn't pass it, unlike the House and HEROES. The Senate could have acted on the passed House bill. The House had no bill from the Senate to take up, since the Senate bill died in (Republican-led) committee.

The House is the only one on the dance floor.

And Nancy Pelosi may have opposed the Republican position in negotiations, but Nancy Pelosi has no control on what the Senate passes.

An eviction moratium exists, but it doesn't cover your bills. "Almost everywhere," and "suspended", lack truthiness. As far as I know, unpaid rent and utilities will be owed. Some legislatures and housing organizations forgave periods of time, I think - that could certainly give you the impression that it is ubiquitous.

Anecdotal: the food pantry near my home is often busy now; much, much more so than last year.
Yep, you should wrap then in something like Apigee or an API Server that can throttle requests and keep traffic to reasonable numbers for your service.

This is enforced by the platform sandbox, not the App Store. They are entirely separate things.
Note that they are talking about "AP computer science _principles_." There is also an "AP computer science."

On the AP computer science exam, the questions are about reading and writing code that uses the more annoying features of Java such as static methods, interfaces, abstract classes, recursion, etc. If you pass the exam, you get college credit for an introductory CS course. I remember looking at a practice exam for AP computer science _principles_ exam back in highschool and laughing my ass off because they were so stupid. The questions were about things like "applications of virtual reality" and "benefits of 3d printing."

Their statistics that it somehow helps minorities smells like bullshit to me. I don't think any kids get inspired to enter STEM by a course where you have to write essays about "digital video" or whatever. It seems like they are quick to applaud themselves for doing something that has a plausible PC justification behind it without really thinking critically about the effects.
Binary size should have been treated like a limited resource: set a hard limit in the test suite, and let the engineers who commit code in the organization fight it out how to delete unused code when they create new one for a new feature.

It wouldn't invalidate the model, because advertisers aren't actually essential to the whole thing.

Advertisers are included because they're part of the status quo, but the system works pretty well if you just have content creators + users that pay them with BAT (the key part being it's automatic and doesn't require 10 different subscriptions to support 10 different creators).
I can tell you that in Seattle shoplifting, vandalism, burglaries, car thefts, and other crimes take place all the time and it is not because someone is down on their luck and actually in need of basics like food. The increased crime has been induced for the following reasons:

1. Drug addicted vagrants are ubiquitous because the city doesn't enforce laws and instead enables this lifestyle by looking the other way. These addicts very often steal things like food that are easy to fence and barter for drugs.

2. Our city and county prosecutors don't actually bring charges/accountability against criminals.

3. The police department has far fewer officers per capita than comparable cities, and simply cannot spend time on investigating and catching suspects.

The revolving door of people committing low-level crimes is so bad that Seattle businesses have released reports on this problem (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5752913-SYSTEM-FAILU...) and written letters to politicians asking for help (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5752914-Prolific-Off...) only to be ignored. Unfortunately the growing problem of low-level crimes with no consequence for criminals has also jaded residents to the point that they don't even bother reporting most property crimes - after all, if criminals don't face consequences and insurance requires a deductible, there is simply no benefit to spending time on reporting things.

I don't doubt that some number of people who are shoplifting food are trying to be productive members of society, displaying personal responsibility, and just need some support to get back on their feet. For them, I hope we can improve programs like SNAP (https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/supplemental-nutrition-assista...) to provide more benefits (higher spending limits for healthier food) with less red tape (less stringent eligibility requirements).

But around me and in other West coast cities I've been to, those committing these crimes are very often not deserving of sympathy and are willfully not being good citizens. To bring the constituency on board, we need to address both sides of this equation. We need to start enforcing laws and holding criminals accountable, while helping those who are deserving and in need. Otherwise, the rest of us are not going to be onboard with simply allowing criminals to commit crime.

> will make laws to properly represent our intentions instead of enriching their buddies.

Buddies like... the companies that use those loopholes.

> if you design a loophole, the nature of competition will force all companies to follow it

Does it also force them to lobby to keep that loophole?

> Lest your competitor gain a profitable advantage.

Is the differential value of Airbnb using tax loopholes? Do you mean to say that if Airbnb stops using tax schemes, a competitor will pop up and be in an advantage?

> Fix the game and players will follow the new rules overnight.

Players will complain and try to lobby and even blackmail governments trying to fix the game, and will also actively try to find new loopholes.

Really, we need to hold companies accountable for these schemes. It's very hypocritical to praise the grit and the motivation of the founders but consider the company an abstract and amoral entity whenever it comes to things like paying taxes. Stop excusing bad behavior.
Giving individuals money is a top Democratic political point but they don't have the negotiating power to make the GOP budge. Democrats would absolutely love to give a $1200 check to every individual, as that would help cities greatly.

I think there's a lot of counterargument to this, but I'll stick to the best one: propolis is used as more than just a a sealant for the hive.

"However, if a small lizard or mouse, for example, finds its way into the hive and dies there, bees may be unable to carry it out through the hive entrance. In that case, they would attempt instead to seal the carcass in propolis, essentially mummifying it and making it odorless and harmless."

In retrospect, using the term "deplatforming" reveals to me you are not equipped to debate about this. His fundraising was removed but he wasn't banned from GoFundMe or any other fundraising. You seem to dismiss dog-whistling as a term but happily employ the wrong words.

I was discussing the framework and tools the people at social platforms are currently employing to decide weather they are being weaponized. I thought the discussion would start around the finer details of online moderation and operating these tasks at scale. You see evidence being suppressed, I see an overwhelmed company in the middle of its country's political crisis being asked to manage a surge in new bad-faith actors.

I've provided plenty evidence myself that they had elements to confirm his behavior could be interpreted as being linked to disinformation campaigns. Maybe they were wrong but I disagree with your take that this Trump advisor can't wrap his head around why GoFundMe believed it.

Publicly Matt Braynard showed no attempt at understanding what he could change to be accepted and leaned hard into this removal to galvanize extra-donations on another platform.

In the end, the circumstantial evidence he uncovered turns out not to be admissible in court or is improperly used by the Trump campaign (given their constant lost legal challenges). It must sting, especially when he see's all the grift around those legal battles.
I shudder at the thought of hundreds or thousands of Uber engineers banging out a rewrite together. I've been through a number of rewrites, and every single time it always meant the same thing: get your resume ready and look for the exit. It's going to be a multi-year shitshow.

> What people who harp on pronouns miss is that pronouns are not used to refer to someone's gender but their sex. I can see your sexual characteristics from across the room, and referring to them is a good way to narrow down who I'm talking about.

The thing you see about someone when you look at them from across the room isn't their biological sex, if anything it's their gender presentation. This chunk of youtube video (https://youtu.be/9bbINLWtMKI?t=548) talks more or less about that.

They don't have to compete with Amazon on technology, they can instead offer better service, or a better curated selection of (actually fit-for-purpose) products, or better prices, or better discoverability.

But some retailers seem determined to be worse than Amazon in everything, which is quite the feat. It probably is a result from being locked into a race to the bottom against other brick-and-mortar retailers, as you mentioned.
Nice! Congrats to you! It seems like you hit the startup stock option lottery.

That seems to be a very generous and reasonable sharing of income from the company and your manager.

As well as to have a manager that wasn’t a self-serving jerk, whose intention is to manage you down, instead of managing you up.

Most people are not so lucky.

And most managers are self-serving, despite whatever platitudes they say.

But I think for most people, they must take their destiny into their own hands. And negotiate what is best for themselves.

In a sense, you’re only worth what you can negotiate.

My initial reaction to this was to support the underdog and vilify the big corporation. But then I read her responses online and found it to be extremely unprofessional. And also read her interactions with "Yann Lecun", someone who I respect a lot. The way she attacked Yann, even after his apologies is unacceptable. It's fine to be an SJW but it's not okay to bully others for your beliefs.
Not going to criticize because (a) there are some cool features I would be interested to try out and (b) RSS sorely needs some revitalization effort.

However, let me point out 3 things I cannot exactly agree with:

1) I do not read feeds individually. Instead, I have a set of folders sorted by priority descending and post frequency ascending (EU projects I am involved in, for example are in the TOP folder at the top and HBR and MIT Tech Review are in the SPAM folder in the bottom). I use BazQux as my reader and it allows me to select a folder, read all articles in it using j/k and when I hit j once the folder is empty, it jumps to the next folder. With Feedka, I'd lose this ability to browse things by topic. An off-topic: I tried to do the same on Twitter with lists and used ManageFlitter to do a reverse sort on people I follow and drop those who post most but failed miserably.

2) I do not read RSS daily. With Twitter or HN (unless you go on hckrnews.com instead of the main website) you are always afraid to miss somethin or feel overwhelmed to catch up. I read most important / least frequent folders first and all posts in all folders are sorted chronologically. A few weeks ago I was catching up with some things posted in October in my feed. But folder-wise chronological grouping and sort means I will first catch up on all ~30 posts since October in the TOP folder (again, not on a feed-by-feed basis) and only then I will get to those 400 posts from HBR and MIT Tech Review. I spent some time there, sign off and I know it will be there when I am back. With Feedka, I feel that I would go back to this anxiety of missing things if I don't read the newsletter every day. HN is an exception because I want not only to read the artile, but also participate in the discussion.

3) I don't want any algorithmic filtering of articles except perhaps a metric comparing ratio of number of entries posted to the number I starred, opened in a new tab or read for more that 10-15s before jumping to the next post.

I guess this sounds more off-putting than I intended. Go ahead boldly! I will try Feedka if it has OPML import and I wish you great success! Also, now that I am reading my points above, I can totally see why my friends use Twitter and not RSS.
Most of these dismissals have come before evidence is considered. There are dozens of reasons to dismiss cases without considering evidence.

There is a bucket load of evidence that shows election irregularities and failures of election staff to follow laws, but that does not mean there is enough evidence to prove the Trump campaign's allegations in court.

Also, a lot of the cases getting bounced are seeking emergency relief which often requires a higher standard of proof/evidence which is usually hard to come up with before discovery.

Also, even if the allegations are proven, there may not be a legal remedy that a court is willing to offer -- this can be grounds for early dismissal too. If you ask for something the court thinks it cannot offer, case dismissed no matter what the evidence is. Often if legal remedy is unavailable courts will point to the electoral process as the remedy.

Problem is, if you make sqrt(2) exact - say, by an appropriate choice of the number system - then 1 will not be exact. This is because the ratio sqrt(2) / 1 is irrational in any number system.
thats not surprising to me: if we view the weights in the whole network as "individual cells" in a population, and if we pretend that at each update of network weights, before the update each weight undergoes cell division such that one daughter cell / weight is an increase in weight, and the other a decrease, then each component of the gradient descent vector can be viewed as the fitness function for that specific cell or weight: an increase or a decrease. From this perspective each cell forms its own niche in the ecosystem, and its no surprise that replacing a cell with its ancestor is roughly compatible with the final network cells: the symbiosis goes both ways.

The reason for Bengio demonstrating this on a complete layer is obviously to demonstrate that this is NOT due to redundantly routing information to the next layer (think holographically, for robustness). And using non-ancestor random weights illustrates that the ecosystem fitness suffers if redundant / holographic routing is prevented while also using non ancestral cells / weights...
