ML is not at fault - it's probably doing what it's trained to do. It's the marketing that makes people expect that if ML blackbox managed to do a couple of parlor tricks like distinguishing a cat from a banana and faking something resembling a human-written text, if you don't look too closely, then it's almost as good as a human brain. It's not. It's pretty much as dumb as a refrigerator (a very complex one, with many many buttons, but still a refrigerator). So you shouldn't expect too much from it, and then there's no reason to give it bad rep.

> Government spending is almost entirely leveraged by debt

What does that have to do with anything? I literally have no idea what you're trying to imply.

> these documents prove that these "ultra-rich" pay a large absolute dollar amount of taxes (albeit lower than 30%).

Yes, and they also benefit from the work of society and government many times more than I do! From courts to law enforcement to bailouts to everything else. More generally: these people are not rich in a vaccum, they are only this rich because the rest of society exists, therefore they owe a debt back to society.

Absolute values count for nothing. It's preposterous that I work my ass off and get taxed 30 or 40% and they live off capital gains and get taxed zilch.
Had both my catalytic converters stolen off my E250 in Vancouver Canada, parked in the backyard of a mates house.

Frustrating because the van wasn’t worth replacing them. But surprisingly it was legal to replace them with straight pipe. Obviously ethically dubious, due to increased emissions. But a better option that scraping the vehicle prematurely and purchasing a new one.

Either way. I’d be looking at the demand side. The thieves aren’t melting them down, they’re flogging them for cash. Who’s paying cash for clearly hastily sawn off catalytic converters in bulk?

Again: I have a problem with someone investing in their startup using a government tax-protected shelter, and then making a killing off of it: that is double dipping, and scum-baggy.

Simple law: you cannot invest in your own company in your own Roth IRA because it is blatantly unfair to other investors who don't have similar insider trading abilities.

Done.

> purchased his founders’ shares in PayPal through his Roth IRA during PayPal’s formation."

> That's literally the market rate.

That's not a market rate, that's a price-fixed rate. A market rate involves actual buyer and seller transactions and an actual market (a couple of people shuffling stock amongst themselves does not a market make)

If he had put Bitcoin in there at $0.01 back when it was trading at $0.01 - that would be a market rate transaction (since there was a market for Bitcoin at the time). That would have been much less problematic than what actually happened (and there would be no "substantial control" problems either with the Bitcoin investment).

That is exactly why I have been saying for quite some time now that Proton has killed native Linux games. Developers would be crazy to publish a native Linux game right now. Sure middleware like Godot helps but even then it's still probably not worth it.

Witb Proton you can publish a game and deny all reponsibily for Linux support. “Sorry we don't support Linux but we hear it runs great on Proton!”
Of course it also means socialists and communists among other leftist parties. They represent the pure leftist ideology from which other leftist parties take ideas from, and the closer to center those parties are the more they tone the communistic ideals down. In essence the tip of the left wing is completely intolerable and illiberal.
Sorry, I really did not mean to give that impression, and I do not trivialise mental health issues.

There is a hell of a lot of bullshit in psychology and psychiatry, sometimes to the point of abusing those they are supposed to help.

I do think that the beliefs like "my brain is wired wrong" or "it's a brain chemistry problem" are usually wrong for some conditions, and that those beliefs can be harmful because they discourage seeking less obvious solutions or solutions particular to the person.

Also you do not want unrealistic expectations of a "cure", or to encourage seeking of dangerous interventions.

The friends I have with mental health issues usually have another layer of strange personal beliefs, which doesn't help either!

It is a difficult topic to comment on, because people tend to be sensitive about it, for valid reasons.
What if the entire industry is automated by an AI.

> Or are you claiming that on the day that he paid $0.001 per share, someone else paid more per share

I suspect this was the case. Hypothetical example: Class A shares were available for $100 each, and Class B shares for $0.0001 each, but you could only get a B share by buying an A share. With the implicit (or explicit?) promise to merge the share classes together eventually to cause the prices to converge and massively inflate the Roth IRA side of the investment where you stashed the B shares.

So the $0.0001 shares all cost you $100 each to buy, but that $100 comes from outside your $2000 contribution limit.
I disagree with ProPublica's take. If it was as simple as "pay just fractions of a penny per share... watch as all the gains..." then we would all do it. Not just with Roth IRAs, but with our entire portfolios. The reason we don't all do this is because startups are very very risky. Some people will succeed and walk away with windfalls. Other people will lose their shirts. If there was arbitrage, there would be a an "app for that" and there would be more billionaires walking around.
Orange (red-yellow) is a tertiary color. Most tertiary colors are named for things.

Chartreuse (yellow-green) is named for a liquor and was first used in 1764, much more recently than orange.

Azure (blue-cyan) is named for lapis-lazuli.

Rose (magenta-red) is named for the flower.

Turquoise (green-cyan) is named for the gem, with its etymology only in the 17th century.

Violet (magenta-blue) is actually unique in that it's the only tertiary color that isn't named for something. Its name comes from the proto-Indo-European word for purple. (In this case, purple is the color named for a thing).

The process continues for further subdivided color. Most quarternary colors don't have distinct well-accepted names, but some like scarlet, fuschia, and aquamarine are reasonably accepted.

If you've gotten through life calling things yellow-green instead of using the word chartreuse, you know how people got through life without using the word orange.
That's not a good analogy. "Editorial content" is authored by individuals working for or otherwise associated with the publication, this is not the case with Facebook where content is posted by individuals that have no business relationship to Facebook.
I don't mean to dismiss everyone who self-diagnoses. I was pointing out a known social phenomenon or trend of people doing so, possibly because of greater public awareness of the condition. Also see gluten intolerance for a non-psychological example.

Funnily enough, I chanced upon a random YouTube video yesterday and the very top comment was someone mentioning ADHD and others chiming in, while skeptics criticizing the self-diagnosing and likening it to those who self-diagnose other conditions such as depression:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ph3ZCriWAw&lc=Ugw0IXd-rBjzj...

Whether right or wrong, it definitely is a known internet social phenomenon. That's what the ancestral post in this current subthread was referring to by referring to ADHD as the new Asperger's.

The invasion of the capitol basically proves law enforcement goes easy on the far right. That there was going to be a far right shit show in the capitol was no secret and everyone knew in advance but the law enforcement leaders
Literally prevented their people from making adequate preparations because they could not believe those “fine” people would ever do something bad. But when what surprised no one happened, it kinda forced their hand to respond. It’s the capitol and cops died, they don’t have a choice but go hard.

Maybe garland is changing things but it’s yet to be seen, all I know is up to Jan 6 white nationalists were kid gloved. White nationalist infiltration of law enforcement is a known issue.

But you really only need the settings app. If you are a power user and want to mess with the individual details you hit "Additional power settings" and get the old UI. But so what?

My point was Microsoft is doing exactly the right thing here -- iterating on an existing design and keeping old software around for those who need it. Everybody seems to want Microsoft to throw out everything and instantly redesign several decades worth of software and that is ridiculous. That's not the way anyone should develop software.

> nobody was confused in windows XP

I'm sure they were -- the new settings app is significantly less complicated.
My 2c, the choice of algorithm is quite complex... It is data dependent and also depends on your read/write ratio, latency and accuracy needs, memory/cpu, and many other factors. If I were you I'd look for a versatile solution more than "the best" algorithm cos that choice will likely change... just sayin'...
I've been running Linux exclusively for years, and never had any problems. For the most part, everything Just Works™. My previous laptop had just integrated Intel graphics, which worked well enough. My current is a Ryzen integrated graphics, which also works well enough.

The only problem I ever had was in Wasteland 2 where the second part of the game there was some bug with the fog on the world map with Intel drivers. Setting some obscure environment variable fixed that.

No. What you're defending is not merely common "emergent properties of a society", but the one of the most wicked ones.

Rape and murdering disabled people is also associated with humanity. Do you waste your time looking for arguments to defend them? I certainly not, and I really hope you don't.

Just putting everything in a bucket, and saying "oh, it's society, just accept it" doesn't cut it.
That is a good point. S-Corps are an exception, because the corporations do not handle income tax the way a C-corp would.
> If the law is changed it will not only limit Peter Thiel from doing this but also you and me.

That obviously not necessarily true. One can imagine a change in law that limits tax sheltering of this type for any individual to say, 10mm. A tiny fraction of the population would be affected.
I think we could reduce the issue down to basic human greed and arrogance. Just as many financial crimes are committed by people who didn't really need the money to begin with or just continued their illegal activities even though they made more than enough to quit.

Why wouldn't it be allowed? If my investments into my Roth IRA performed so we'll i became a billionaire, I wouldn't want to be treated differently. And I wouldn't want my mom or my neighbor to either. They essentially got lucky, they're not taking anything from me in being so fortunate.

The "problem" in this case is that Thiel was already a billionaire to begin with, and such luck on top of existing wealth is what irrationally bothers people.
If you search my first and last name, the first result is of two 18 year olds who burned a house down because one kid has my first name and the other has my last name. For me it goes:

“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.”

I think there are about 4 billion billionaire-specific things Thiel is getting out of this arrangement that aren't accessible to me (or, I suspect, to you).
Reasonable countries don't allow companies to fire employees immediately, hence access cannot possibly be revoked instantly.

It wouldn't be unreasonable to officially target Proton support. Hell, I'd like that almost as much as native support.

John Deere unfortunately does do this. To the court's credit, at least they keep losing right to repair lawsuits. To law enforcement's discredit, they don't change the behavior and suffer no punishment.
I think you touch on the core problem. That 100% perfect categorization is impossible. Also, it turns out that items which are false or angry are more likely to go viral, be it in science or politics:

Unfortunately it turns out that we humans over-react, and over-spread, falsehoods. So I want both the "reshare and retweet" banned as features on social media platforms if section 230 protections are to remain.

The solution isn't to encroach on the 1st amendment right to say anything you want. It's to take away the 'gasoline' of the reshare, that has an innate bias to falsehoods, from spreading them. That's the first thing I want Facebook to change. And the second is to go back to enforcing that every account is tied to a real person. It was great when "Facebook" was about real people back in 2004 - it should get back to that original vision!
As a user though, why would I get an operating system / device that can only run Android software when I can get a device that can run both Android and Windows software?

And as an Android dev, I now have an incentive to optimize for Microsoft device form factors, which is a lot easier to do and maintain than making a whole port

And I don't see that there are too many developers who are now writing Windows desktop apps who will suddenly decide to rewrite for Android. Cos what apps are native? Stuff like CAD software, Unity, Photoshop, etc - stuff that has heavy complex UIs and wouldn't work well if at all in most Android contexts
Notice what the 'fair share' is, is never stated, and at the same time want to encourage behavior via the tax code, but then get mad when people use the incentives.
> Why do I need an API to convert images? Find emojis? Convert "John" to "Hello John"? (ok the helloworld service is just a demo.) I can do that on the client using Javascript.

Twofold: First, it's similar to why they wouldn't just clone a developer's API on the network. The system that can do image conversion requires maintenance. A system that is calling an API providing that image conversion offloads that maintenance elsewhere (presumably to something that can manage the maintenance more efficiently than someone who just incidentally needs the feature).

Second, APIs will become the primitives everything else is built out of in time. Custom code in clients just become more and more of a shim over time.
Or just exclude private shares from Roth IRAs.

Ah yes, I'm the problem, paying around 40% in taxes.

People making 6-figures a year are not the ones manipulating the financial system. HN is particularly in this category.

But go ahead and lump me in with someone with like 6000x my net worth.

That + a cap on tax shelter would solve the issue, if it needs solving.

There is no requirement for whistle blowing to be strictly about illegal activity. Mismanagement, corruption, unethical behavior… are all considered under the term. It’s in the public’s benefit for this information to be public. All billionaires should be under far more scrutiny then they are. There’s no benefit to the rest of us for them to operate with impunity in the shadows.
He could have saved it up from prior years of work. Starting salaries can in fact be lower than $110K.
I mean, you could deny Linux support without Proton too. I think that's a separate issue.

Now, supporting Linux via Proton, that's where Proton can kill native Linux builds. But I'm not sure how common that is, or will be.
He was CEO of PayPal until 2002, which means in 2011 this would presumably be past the statute of limitations for many things. It’s unclear if this falls under Tax Fraud or not.
Firefox is handy if you want to occasionally do personal stuff on a work-provided Windows PC, since it has it's own proxy settings (where Chrome uses the Windows settings). Also DNS-over-https. So if you run a proxy on an outside host, it's all still reasonably separated.

No, they wouldn't deliberately stop selling the product of intact, fully staffed fabs after gaining control of them.

But we're not talking about a corporate takeover. We're talking about a naval invasion of a very densely populated and well defended island. That might involve heavy artillery bombardment and prolonged urban combat, maybe a guerilla war and sabotage actions.

There is no guarantee that the fabs are still operational after all that.
Even if I didn't know about the mistake, I would still think idly that something was amiss, because that's the best-dressed and friendliest-looking goddamn serial killer I've ever seen!
They agreed to do it and haven't done it. As Facebook was in the best position out of anyone to say whether they could or could not accomplish this moderation and said they could even though they apparently can't or don't want to, anything beyond that fact is really very meaningless.
Defying the Data Priests: On the threat of rule by algorithmic fiat
This is how bad things have gotten: In the 1950s, the minimum wage was supposed to be enough for a person to support their family; today the minimum wage is enough for a college student to make it until their next paycheck, not much more. Unfortunately, a lot of people in this country think this is how it should be.
It's clear that the IRA system was created to encourage saving for retirement through tax deferral.

It was not intended for billionaires, because for them it serves no purpose in encouraging them to save for retirement. (Financial security in retirement is not something billionaires worry about.)

The idea that there is no way the law could exclude this sort of benefit while not hurting the middle class is absurd. There are any number of ways to do it: for example, any plan with more than $10 million in capital gains could have gains above that amount lose their tax-exempt status.

You are unable to challenge my claim, yet you present a baseless one with ZERO evidence, yet I get downvoted, flagged and silenced by those who can't refute my argument. Gave plenty of time for you to present some links.

I thought this site was for those who can present reasonable arguments with the facts involved. Seems like I am mistaken once again by the fanatics of this site. Unsurprised and very disappointed.

As for me, a very easy and well documented list of attendees in Epsteins "private jet log" which has the name and profile Minsky, Marvin: MIT professor and pioneer of artificial intelligence. documented. [0] Undeniable fact there, and he got a HN black bar, which is why I don't think anyone should have one if everyone is going to be held to such high standards. No angels are in that black book.

Now the burden of proof is on YOU to prove that it was "staged". Unless you and the attendees know something that everyone else doesn't.

How's that for "specific"?
