I'll be pleasantly surprised if the investigation concludes with anything resembling Karl Bode's longstanding analysis [1]:

> Again, as somebody who has written about this for decades, we know why these caps persist: monopoly power. The FCC’s NOI discusses the roundabout ways the FCC has nibbled around the edges of the problem (like its recent effort to implement “broadband nutrition labels” making it clear you’re being ripped off), but notably absent is any real effort to strike at the roots of monopoly power.

> And the government generally doesn’t strike at the roots of telecom monopoly power because Congress is comically corrupt, state and federal regulators have been historically captured, and most of these companies are patriotically tethered to our domestic surveillance efforts making them too large and politically protected for serious, consistent accountability.

For an example of "federal regulators have been historically captured", refer to the dissent in the Notice of Inquiry [2] or a summary of the funny parts [3]:

> Simington argued that regulating data caps would harm customers, using an analogy about the hypothetical regulation of coffee refills:

>> Suppose we were a different FCC, the Federal Coffee Commission, and rather than regulating the price of coffee (which we have vowed not to do), we instead implement a regulation whereby consumers are entitled to free refills on their coffees. What effects might follow? Well, I predict three things could happen: either cafés stop serving small coffees, or cafés charge a lot more for small coffees, or cafés charge a little more for all coffees.

> Simington went on to compare the capacity of broadband networks to the coffee-serving capacity of coffee shops. He said that tiered coffee prices "can increase overall revenue for the café," which can be invested "in more seats, more cafés, and faster coffee brewing."

...

> Carr said the FCC is "start[ing] down the path of directly regulating rates... by seeking comment on controlling the price of broadband capacity ('data caps'). Prohibiting customers from choosing to purchase plans with data caps—which are more affordable than unlimited ones—necessarily regulates the service rates they are paying for."

While I personally also consider my relationships to be more important than my earnings, I am still going to argue that it's subjective. Case in point, both you and I disagree with Altman about what success means. We are all human beings, and I don't see any objective way to argue one definition is better than another.

In case you are going to make an argument about how happiness or some related factor objectively determines success, let me head that off. Altman thinks that power rather than happiness determines success, and is also a human being. Why objectively is his opinion wrong and yours right? Both of your definitions just look like people's opinions to me.

Selling those things is still sharing with the world. Most paid software is cheap to purchase.

If FOSS was an eco system where end users had the common(?) courtesy to donate just a little bit to at least one of the projects they use, then I'd have nothing to say. But whenever I use any FOSS code and donate, I usually find myself alone with two or three other people who have donated.

Unlike most other professions, programming is something most people start with as a hobby in young years. So maybe they don't value their own hard work and effort, even though they've matured past the young hobbyist phase? And then they get misguided by open source activists to labour for free.

A young artist who publishes their songs online for free in the hopes of becoming famous, will still retain copyright on those works. No record label can come around and start selling those songs without even letting the artist know. Much less stealing and selling the songs of a well-established artist if he/she decides to release music for free.

I just don't like free loading, and I don't like enablers either.

Definitely. And if I had to take a guess, yes, it happens slowly. I guess we could use Detroit perhaps as an example. Booming, industry sorta crumbled there, made it no longer desirable. Because of that, Detroit for a city has become cheap and to my understanding it is now experiencing a boom? So it maybe it just takes awhile because a correction needs to take place to make it cheap enough for people to move back in? Then I would guess there is also a, enough time needs to pass for a particular perception to fade.

""Successful people create companies. More successful people create countries. The most successful people create religions."

I heard this from Qi Lu; I'm not sure what the source is. It got me thinking, though--the most successful founders do not set out to create companies. They are on a mission to create something closer to a religion, and at some point it turns out that forming a company is the easiest way to do so.

In general, the big companies don't come from pivots, and I think this is most of the reason why."

Mapbox presumably does this now. The issue with the real world is that you do need some high quality truth data to do any decent routing. Different users/vehicles are more or less sensitive to road conditions. If you want to provide an effective micro-mobility routing solution you have to know with certainty where the sidewalks and bike lanes are, how wide they are, how f'ed-up they are and provide directions accordingly. Waiting until 10,000 different transportation agencies decide to fix sidewalks and bike lanes on different schedules and different standards isn't gonna solve issues any time soon.

> People frequently think only of the carbon emissions of the energy used by the hardware once it's running, ignoring the carbon (and raw material) cost of building that hardware.

The carbon is hard to account for in manufacturing. Solar, for example, is pretty close to being produced entirely with electric consumption and very little required CO2 output (except perhaps in the transport of silicon and other raw materials). The big energy draw for solar and battery is a kiln stage in both. Solar has to melt down the silicon which requires a high temperature furnace and batteries are basically "cooking" the raw materials onto their foil.

The math for solar is something like 1 to 4 years of generation before it pays back the manufacturing power debt. Batteries tend to be much shorter as they take less energy in their manufacturing process (with some hopeful techniques in the future significantly reducing that number).

Now, none of this is to contradict you, just putting the numbers out there. I completely agree that a server farm is likely to be far more efficient for hosting a website than home built solar powered pi. The CO2 emissions will be hard to beat, particularly if your cloud host resides in the PNW where power is nearly entirely renewable already.
South Africa does have wealth distribution policies in the form of requiring all companies that do business with the state or which need licences (like mines or telecoms) to have a minimum number of black ownership and black employees.

South Africa also has affirmative action.

In fact, there are more race based laws in South Africa currently than during Apartheid.

Can anecdotally confirm as a data point myself along with some people I know.

Certainly, I can be viewed as stereotypically successful by my buddies. Certainly, because the mask we wear should be strong and never come off. But in my nights alone, or even in my therapy sessions, who could possibly see that 'me'?

I have come to realize, though, that most people who didn't suffer much, refuse (implicitly, not explicitly) to empathize with those who have -- perhaps even I may be included in this group which 'refuse implicitly' at time. It's not that big of a deal, though. (Generalized) Empathy is a difficult skill to train.
I'm really confused by this policy - isn't security and enforcement the value prop of the app store in the first place?

They inverted the colors because they were creating a painting of an impression of a face on a piece of cloth.

If you put a piece of cloth on your face, the parts of the face that touch the cloth are the ones where color would be transferred from your face to the cloth, and which are therefore darker. The parts of the face that are more recessed, like the areas around the eyeballs, would not touch the cloth, and so less or no color would be transferred from the face to the cloth in those areas.

In other words, the part of the face that would receive more shadow in a normal image (and would be darker) would receive less pigment in the painting (and would be lighter).

Is 5.6 million a lot? Where are they located? There are 127 million "households" in the US. And 258 million adults. I know there are unmarried/non-partner adults currently sharing living space who would prefer to acquire their own residence, so that 127 million number wants to go up. Seems like the issue is not enough housing in desirable places. And not enough desirable places, so the demand gets concentrated excessively into the small number of nice, convenient places.

Build more trams and subway and regional rail lines. Upzone and pedestrian-orient more areas around transit. People want to live in places like this but they cannot because the few places that do exist like this have such high demand and prices are high.
Well, yes, but the old "clean up the gene pool" propaganda wasn't ever going to work, and it's not going to work on a practical level now. Gene pool stays almost as bad as it always was, and each generation has to put in active effort (with selection systems like this, and assortive mating) to manage the actually expressed genes of the next generation.

Fixing the gene pool in any reasonable amount of time would require gene editing and genome designing tech that I wouldn't even know how to start researching.

Not sure what you meant here; of course one needs to still correctly estimate the cross-entropy loss in the end (in order to keep their sanity, or compare to runs with different total batch size), but each mini-batch term has the same relative contribution to the entropy.

Edit: oh, I guess you probably meant that the code was previously not averaging correctly even for the case of same total mini-batch length... I haven't looked at this code.

The splash page showing a GIS image of San Francisco is always a sign that the lights are on and nobody is home.

On one hand people feel compelled to put up images of San Francisco to make people think that they're with it. On the other hand if you've been to San Francisco you'll know it is where GIS applications go to die. It's where I'll walk past endless open restaurants because my coworker insists on finding one with Yelp and five of the restaurants listed on Yelp won't close. It's where the only place my handheld GPS can get a fix is on the roof of the Moscone Center. It's where my handheld GPS struggles to route, even for a car, because there is just too much geometry in too small of an area.

Go to some normal city, say St. Louis, MO or Billings, MT and you will see GIS applications "just work" in comparison.

Which means that they can offer their product for a lower price, which then benefits the general public.

Companies being able to operate cheaper / more efficiently does benefit the general public, as long as the market isn't a monopoly. And as per my above comment, most markets are not monopolies.

Scott Alexander's review of the same is pretty great: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/book-review-malleus-malefic...
We have to be honest with ourselves and admit that markets, efficient or inefficient, cannot guarantee an outcome where every consumer can find a matching supplier. Ignoring the fact that there's people who comprise the demand curve to the right of the equilibrium point[1] is delusional. The cost of fooling ourselves with that delusion results in human suffering and ultimately lives.

Efficient distribution simply isn't a valid response to dividing people into those who who are the beneficiaries of distribution and those who aren't. "Sorry you can't afford a home, but don't worry, it means someone else could," is unjustifiable.

This is literally Economics 101, and understanding the consequences as they relate to housing.
