Sure, if you ignore that the companies are the ones producing and selling those goods. And that their well-being depends on how many they sell.

That might make the movies a little too long.

"Why do lawns even factor into the equation... water usage?"

That's not what this article is about at all. But that's cool, I guess.

Embeddings have only really been popularized in the last few years. The 'original' word2vec paper was 2013. It's really only been maybe two years that using embeddings on other things has been popularized.

There's not much reason to sell to a patent troll if you're one yourself. Simple ideas (like pegging a crypto-currency to a fiat currency) should never be awarded patents. That's the core of the problem.

They do literally pay almost 2x. And that's in towns where your dollar goes much, much further. It's effectively 5x. Doctors still don't want to go.

It'll be the same as anything else. An approach to fake something will be created. Then an approach to identify the fakes... and repeat.

I'm assuming it's the later. Some applications require pretty high speed inference, like video.

>"households don't earn enough to afford a monthly budget that includes housing, food, child care, health care, transportation and a cell phone"

Literally the first line of the article.

The neural links are intended to be bi-directional. While they can't 'write' to the brain, they could provide sensory inputs or thoughts to the user. That seems a little more risky than read-only. (I don't know what I'm talking about though.)

Maybe don't buy a backup phone?

If we're going to count disposal cost, we should definitely count the externalities for other methods as well. Climate change, pollution, etc.

Scott Manley has done a few videos (youtube) recently around rocket architecture; including several videos about the Raptor engine. Well-worth checking out. (I don't have a link at the moment, sorry.)

The market model is a gross simplification of reality. The basic model doesn't incorporate irrational decision-makers, data asymmetries, externalities, etc.

The social media cycle. Get popular by being good, get bad by monetizing, lose enough valuation to be bought by the next big social media trend.

Are they driving at the same speed as the congested lane? That's how it should be done, in my opinion. If driving in the ending lane isn't seen as "getting ahead" and is seen as "using available road without cheating", the behavior could actually change.

The law of supply and demand relies on efficient markets. Heathcare, to name one, really doesn't apply.

Stardew Valley is incredible for this. I can just play an in-game day or two, and it's incredibly chill.

Hopefully services can charge differential pricing. I imagine a list like the below would be pretty effective in ISP subscriptions, at least where people actually have a choice.

- Comcast $20 - ATT $15 - Other $10

That sounds like a different product, not a better deal.

This might be the worst version of this type of page I've ever seen.

To play devil's advocate...

If the DNC were responsible for their own 'hack':

They CHOSE to release embarrassing and damaging information right before a major election, in case they lost, so they would have an excuse if it happened?

And the DNC is so competent at information security that they were able to deceive 17 (or whatever the number is) government agencies and several independent researchers?

Out of morbid curiosity, where's the line between "a little trolling" and a state-sanctioned, large, disinformation campaign?

Another option (related to your #1) could be disagreement between the visual field cameras and the LIDAR. Which could result in a lower confidence of an object being a pedestrian.

One of the more interesting theories I've seen about traffic is that people respond to traffic the same as any other cost. Meaning that if it takes longer to get to the city due to more homes in the area, fewer people will be willing to make the drive. So the theory is that infrastructure use will always expand to meet capacity.

I'm not saying I buy this idea to the extreme, but I think it's a pretty accurate model for how I make my travel decisions.

You're using surveys of all republicans and all Americans to dispute my comment about 'the far right'?

I completely understand that. However, the only solution to that problem is to try to halt change and protect existing residents from outsiders. Not to mention that existing property owners do really well when prices skyrocket.

Edit: I guess the broader question is to what degree do locals get to infringe on the rights of outsiders to buy property?

It's always interesting to me that a progressive city, like Seattle, has a bunch of people who proudly push a protectionist/exclusion stance similar to the anti-immigration stance on the far right.

Strangely, I've found that big companies are more willing to tell you the salary range. I assume because they have distinct job grades and salary tied to those grades.

#1 and #2 are already out to consumers in my local market.
