I don't really see how that adds up. In order to collect $50B, everyone in the US would need to donate about $150. Or, Jeff Bezos could liquidate a 1/3 of his net worth. A bit exaggerated, and a bit of a cartoon, but you get the point.

Plus, the utility of an extra billion dollars to a billionaire is basically zero. Fight me if you disagree.
This is just a misunderstanding of how creative people work vs algorithms.

An algorithm will aim to make you look similar to what other people like you look like. It will not push boundaries or riff on creative 'happy accidents' because it can't.

A real stylist will do those things and more.

I don't know whether it's an age thing or just pure cognitive dissonance because people in tech have the hubris to think we can optimise and improve everything because technology, but this machine-learning nihilist thinking is profoundly sad.
The Reincarnated Universe?

Is that not what the Ouroboros symbol represents?
Different solutions for different situations and people.

I don't see the 99%, more frequently it's meetings that can be replaced by emails. Some of my customers are fine sending an email or creating a ticket, and are able to tell me in writing what they want. Others, I'd say around half, can't clearly tell me what they want. Maybe they don't know, or they don't fully understand the problem

Either you send a few emails back and forth for a few days, trying to figure out what people want, wasting hours. Instead you can call the same people, and in less than 30 minutes have the job clearly defined. Then you still need to follow up via an email, so you have the clients OK in writing.

It's not a generational thing, it's down to how different people best communicate, and what situation you're currently facing. The clean and clear dismissal of phone call as a means of communication isn't productive. My dismissal of texts in professional settings might also not be super productive, but that's would mean that I have to give out my cellphone number to clients, and that's not really happening.
Any idea on the average down payment for each year? That’s a big part of affordability. If banks are requiring more money down, a lower interest rate also makes sense.

Dean is an amazing technologist, does not mean he is a leader in the sense that an organization needs. I wish he played this his strengths and left the leadership to others. I don't see the value of putting everything under Dean and hoping for an amazing outcome.
It's not clear to me what disaster will happen. It's certainly distortionary and inefficient, but doesn't seem critical.

Eventually we could get a voting shift where sufficient power is held by people priced out of owning, which could result in improved housing policy. Those eventual changes will be calculated to not disrupt the market, though.
That's a different statement, and assuming they meant what they said, a lie. A technique doesn't get credit for being more persuasive if it requires that you throw out your message.

He donates about 30% of his income. He freely admits he still lives comfortably. Would you have a higher opinion of him if he didn't donate any money instead of "only" 30%?

Peter Singer doesn't claim to be a martyr. I'm not sure where you get that. He is a philosopher/ethicist -- it is his job to think about moral issues and present his conclusions, right or wrong.
Drinking too much distilled water is bad for you because it is hypotonic (it's missing salts), so it pulls salts out of your cells.
Carmack being a prolific game developer doesn't mean that he has special insight into any other issue, like corporations economically exploiting children.

He may have a point, but him being 'legendary' doesn't make his arguments any better (or worse).
Weird title. Who was censored was a guy posting "on this day 100 years ago" style posts, one of which was about Hitler's election, which was banned by IG.

I currently use Garden of Life Primal Defense Ultra. Because of the subtilis in it and not having too many histamine creating lacto strains. May or may not help you but did it for me.

I started with 1 a day and worked up to 3 a day over some weeks. I felt like crap for about 2 weeks. Like having a cold sick. Just no nose running and such. Then better than ever. Now I take one in the morning and one in the evening.

Oh and so I don't forget shortly after I also started keto. Real keto w/ less than 20g carbs. Did blood tests that confirmed I was in ketosis. That's the "and feeding them right" part. Did it for about a year which normalized all my off blood markers except for cholesterol which also improved but not below what is condered normal. Did it for a year. Now I no longer do keto but keep the sugar mostly away.
I cannot believe this works for you, hahaha, but I’m glad it does. Nice!!
There is a “Doug” variant?!? Asking for a friend…

EDIT

So there is! Ha

> And you can imagine, it was quite a mouthful. So, we started to call this D to G mutation ‘Doug’, and then any of the other virus sequences that didn’t have this mutation … we called ‘Douglas’, so it was sort of a bit of a private joke within the lab,” she said. “As more mutations came about, we’d come up with a person’s name for them.”

Someone crashing into your car is not something one can easily mitigate the risk of.

But had they driven with a baby into a remote area, like a desert, without cell service, and they all died in some "freak incident", that would also be negligent in my book.

I'm not suggesting they did anything illegal. And if anyone wants to take their children into remote areas without a backup plan, that's their choice, I just think it's bad parenting.

No baby needs to go on remote hikes when there are much less risky hikes to be had. The parents were doing this for themselves. It was risky and selfish behavior.
Most historians disagree with you. There is significant historical evidence that Japans ruling class was close to surrender (IIRC they actually had offered to surrender already, but not unconditionally). In particular the second bomb on Nagasaki was probably more about a sign to other nations (the USSR) than ending the war.
It will likely be encrypted. If they are lucky, then the vendor won't validate certs and you could MITM with a proxy. Super simple with Charles or Squid, but this assumes the device doesn't validate certs. Some IoT don't.
It is using a game to teach real life.
So, to make $350 you need to sell $4000 worth of mtx? That's ludicrous.

Exactly, so if people don't really care about being rich - they might do this like some sort of charity. I understand there are lots of charlatans and con artists, but I think basically giving away money this way is a good way to make progress in research etc as a civilization. We need to fund boring stuff and randomly give money to people who can't raise from VCs.
Hard disagree.

The absurd vast majority of people will never make any money via Roblox, or any of the major app stores for that matter. I have a few apps on both Google Play and the App Store.

I'm never going to see a dime. If anything I like that Roblox is encouraging kids to learn game development, later on they can always move on to Unity or Godot( I'm not really an Unreal fan since the editor doesn't run well on my computer). Then they can also enjoy making no money on Steam ! It's very very rare for indie game devs to make money !!
I wonder how long before interest rates rise as inflation levels rise. That would really put a damper on the market. Would also kill car sales too I'd imagine.
Why would that be obvious? Decentralized means losing economies of scale - you can't buy 10k drives at a time from the manufacturer, you run on random hardware builds, you pay to run machines on lower-efficiency PSUs, and you have to compensate for worse uptime per node. Where is it winning?

This wasn't focusing on 1:1 calls, but a couple years ago we tested all the video chat services we could access. We had offices spread across India, Malaysia, and the US with varying qualities of connection and many people working from home. Zoom had the best results when working with a poor connection. I'm not sure I'd say the peak quality was as good as FaceTime.
Datafusion 5.0.0 release with major new features and performance improvements
They don't "need" them to survive and yet many people have been saved by their cell phones. We don't know yet, but there's a good chance these people might have been saved had they been able to make a 911 call. Or if they had been on a more popular trail with other people around. Regardless, they took a big needless risk and it ended tragedy.
This article may contrast with Academi/Blackwater, but several others (including Erik Prince himself) acknowledge the similarities.

It only works if you have an active account with the issuer. It's simply a convenience feature for subscriptions to go to the new card since it would be rather annoying to have to go through 20 different subscriptions to add the new card.
Facetime doesn't work in any browser, does it? On macOS and iOS it uses a dedicated app, the protocol is proprietary so no 3rd part clients exist?

That's pretty much the same thing I am saying: if banks properly analyzed your assets like you describe and had prudent lending standards accounting for this, people wouldn't be getting the loans to artificially drive up prices.

> Or donating a penny of it?

He's 67. If he's incredibly lucky, he'll have another 30 years to enjoy it. He has no kids.

I don't see anything wrong with donating it at/near death rather than now. We are not morally obliged to live the life of an ascetic.
hey @chrismorgan, this is really valuable feedback, and I intend to explore these suggestions for my own site, and future articles on the topic. I've just recently converted every post to have an assigned whostyle, and this seems like the right way to set up the CSS.

Another issue I'm focused on right now, is how to exchange these whostyles in a way that allows for automatic moderation. @kickscondor suggested JSON as a way to format CSS in a more parse-able manner, and I think that approach might be the easiest way to trust my server to only save received CSS rules that are (relatively) safe.
I don't have the answer to your legal question, but if your router supports it, you might consider putting rate limits on the machines IP so they are slowed to a crawl. Maybe 10kb/s. Enough to make it think it is working but not enough to upload all the things. This assumes your appliance will still work as designed when their spooler/buffer is full. Or another trick is to drop any packets above 600 bytes. Most API calls will work but data transfers won't unless their device is clever.
Choosing a Development Stack
Carmack is a full time AI developer. He's working on AI in the most hardcore sense: aiming at full AGI. I've DM'ed with him for months about it. I was skeptical, and then his ideas turned out to be some of the most innovative I've seen.

When Carmack tweets something, it's because he believes what he's saying is true.

Searching for the most charitable interpretation of your argument, the only thing I can think of is "Maybe Carmack's view was contaminated by his time spent as CTO of Oculus." But he joined Oculus long before Facebook acquired it, and before the policies you mention. Carmack may be legendary, but he likely had no say in those policies.
I had the same issue, Google escheated the money to the state of Delaware (where they're incorporated) after a few years though. Consider checking Delaware's unclaimed property site, you may find your money there.
I'm definitely a fan of SAFE, but also it's not hard to discount just regular 'ole JS/TS talking to a .NET backend. There's an incredible array of ecosystem libraries and tools that are much more mature than Blazor.
That web interface is a customer acquisition and retention play.

It enables FaceTime users to stay in the ecosystem when their friends don't use the platform they do (vs going to Zoom, which is available for everyone). And it enables non-users to get a taste of FaceTime without before they buy an iPhone.

It's a brilliant move, but I wouldn't call it open. Maybe "open enough" :D
I don’t necessarily. But they have active accounts that do stuff and had the drop off activity consistent with “normal users.”

So it doesn’t matter to me if they were bots or not.

For example, 100 users clicked on the first link, 80 completed, and had normal account activity (clicking on stuff, uploading and downloading things, etc).

100 users clicked on the second link and then had normal account activity.

Maybe they were all bots, but they seemed human based on the “normal activity.”
It's not like you are getting top-tier fashion designers, interior decorators etc. on services like these. The company has a fixed catalog, decided based on what deals they can get from vendors, and their reps are all outsourced and following a script/reading out algorithmic results.

In a case like this, though, it would be much better to find a blog post or article specifically about this issue with expired credit cards. (Or, if this has been your experience, to write one.) A thoughtful discussion needs more information than just a title.

(If anyone can dig up a suitable article, we can change the URL.)
In Central America most businesses have switched to WhatsApp or Facebook messenger. They still keep the normal phones though. Texting wouldn't work here though.

At first it was only small businesses like the nearby cafeteria sending the lunch menu, then it was fast food deliveries, some banks. Last year some state institutions made the switch.

I'm not sure about a mortgage, since that requires more paperwork. But most of a car insurance, car loan, personal loan, new internet phone line, can be done via WhatsApp.

The local digital signature law still doesn't work though, so at certain point of the process, the company sends an official or someone from a private post company to get the real signatures on paper and confirm that the ID card matches the application.
>One of the first mutations to go global is known as D614G, or Doug for short
That's funny, because I remember missing breath sounds when switching to digital cellular. That plus the added latency still makes it difficult to converse sometimes.

It's weird to me how, after a century of obsessive attention to quality and latency all throughout the whole analog era, through the digital isochronous transition, and up into the first-gen analog cellular system, digital cellular was so much cheaper that we just rolled over and accepted all the terrible compromises. It's not like customers who preferred AMPS had the choice to stay on it.

Only recently have I experienced VoIP calls that start to claw back some of that lost quality. Frequency range, bit depth, maybe even latency if I'm lucky. I don't think we'll ever again have it as good as ISDN, but I can dream.
OWASP is a good place to start for Web application security
I'm surprised at the number of people here who aren't reading or otherwise paying attention to anything related to credit cards. This isn't some new thing, and it's well known. I can only imagine the people posting here are dealing with credit cards for the first time. Listen, this is your credit, take some responsibility and spend some time to understand what you are signing up for and agreeing to. These aren't hidden features and they exist for a reason: convenience.
So I think you and I agree on all the things you just said. My point is really just that, linguistically, I don't think it makes sense to describe the models as being "biased" or "discriminatory" here. Statistical learning models are designed intentionally to act like mirrors. They reflect the data they're trained on. And I don't think it's descriptively useful to describe a mirror as biased because you don't like your reflection. Even if, in some sense, you could design a curved mirror that generates the reflection you wanted. The mirror is just a mirror.

Now, that being said, I think it is fair to talk about structural equitably in the use of models that produce outcomes we believe are discriminatory. If ML engineers at some company produce a model, and fail to check it for these issues, or do check it but fail to correct them, we can certainly describe that behavior in negative terms, and shame them appropriately.

At the end of the day, if we didn't live in a racist/sexist society, these ML models wouldn't produce discriminatory outcomes. And it is in that sense that the bias is "in the data". That being said, we may still choose to correct that bias at the model level, just like people fix cinematic issues in post-processing all the time.
I'm not nitpicking the unimportant bits. Half the thread is telling people why they're fucked (No really. You are. You're fucked.), and then using incorrect statistics and a long anecdote to back up their claim.

I am not making any claims on the dumbness on either platform, though.
Unless of course you invested in 2016 and it's Mar 2020 and it turns out you need the money now. You'll have no gain and fours years lost.

> fewer people engage in the discussion or share the information

More like fewer people engage in the discussion or share the information _where those researchers are looking_.

In reality, you're going to push people off Twitter and onto Gab, Parler, and Stormfront.

You can cite all the research you want. I've seen these effects of censorship first hand. Just makes matters way worse. If you believe all these people with different opinions are simply stupid, you're going to have a bad time. And, in my experience, such statements are a good proxy for middling intelligence on the part of the speaker.

Google is dismantling its health division
Sure, static linking and the like make the initial deployment much easier. On the other hand, it also means that any bugs in the dependencies are baked into each application, and fixing those bugs (which may be critical security issues) requires rebuilding all the downstream code. Provided, that is, you can rebuild the downstream code. Users of closed-source binaries are simply out of luck.

Mixing multiple versions of the same (or closely related) libraries in the same program remains an issue even with self-contained applications. It might work out if the users of each version are isolated from each other, at the cost of program size and attack surface, but say you're using PyCrypto in one module and PyCryptodome in another, and you want to pass configuration or key information between them—the types won't match up. You'll also have two different API styles to deal with for the same tasks, which is bad for maintainability, which is ultimately bad for the user because it create more opportunities for bugs and makes it harder to implement new features and enhancements.
That too as I suspect the unsubscribe links may just be data gathering.

I typically never type in any information because I assume the site doesn’t know and wants to know.

I’d rather just set up a kill rule on my end than risk getting my email on one more list.
I never said it's any better here. All these "cram a bunch of disparate interest in one place" platforms are crap when it comes to discussion quality as far as I'm concerned. You want good discussion on a topic you gotta go where only the people who do that topic are and everyone else isn't.
It's labor regardless of how much money you make off of it, though I think maybe you mean that they're little games that aren't the result of much effort?
Profit sharing is especially tough at service level jobs. The truth is, most of the folks who do work at that level don't understand the long-term value of getting stock options/profit sharing bonuses/etc.

A friend of mine tried to implement profit sharing to reward employees and to stop theft at his restaurant. Basically paying out a monthly bonuses based on how well the restaurant did that month, but which would go down by the amount of theft.

Theft actually increased because no one really understood the bonus program (even though the bonuses would have paid more than the theft!)

I guess what I am saying, there are no easy answers and a lot of the most 'logical' incentives are only really incentivizing to a certain demographic.
You’d be surprised how much of an effort it takes to safely descend a steep slope with poor traffic. Definitely harder going up but if you check it out on google earth you can get an idea of the grade.
Could be, I interpret "interglacial" literally, as being "between two ice ages". Were we in an actual ice age the same etymology would produce the term "intraglacial", a word I've never seen but that might be because written language was not yet a thing when there were people living in that circumstance.
Why do people always jump immediately to lying?

The bank can't require you to do this. Just say you won't. Say you might do that but if you hang up without resolution your next call is to the police for identity theft (as someone else suggested).

But if you want to make a habit of lying to bank employees that's going to end up biting you in the ass sooner or later.
Pedantry does not persuade. It’s the whole point of the technique.

It’s obvious that high home prices are supported by inflation, low interest rates, laws, birth rates, nimbys, prop 13, AND speculation. And more in concert.

A “no, it’s really this one thing in isolation…” argument is not realistic.
> I'm sorry, to which horrible act are you referring?

I think it is exorbitantly clear from the direct context of this thread that the act I am referring to is the American nuclear bombing of Japan. I'm not sure what your post is, but it seems to be insinuating something like "they had it coming", which is disgusting.
