Bretton Woods system collapsed due the stagflation crisis of the 70's. Economists started re-thinking Keynesian economics and the gold standard was abandoned. That precipitated the collapse. [1]

The Chicago School economists were successful in pushing through the neoliberal agenda. They were so successful that both democrats and republicans adopted it en masse. Even Singapore adopted neoliberalism. There is direct correlation between increase in income inequality with the switch to neoliberal policies. [2]

I've been on a 16:8 IF schedule for around 10 months now and I have lost around 10 kgs, without any exercise. I don't feel stuffed all the time now and my mind has become clearer. But that could also be because I replaced alcohol with weed and started meditating. I haven't done any checkups but I think my health has improved vastly.

Counterfeit capitalism is a nice term. I think neoliberalism will be labeled as such by historians in the future. The collapse of Bretton Woods and the subsequent neoliberal laissez faire economics set off a chain reaction which led to the 2008 sub prime crisis and the current climate crisis. The world will eventually move away from that. Friedman was wrong. Society is not built on greed.

If all goes well, Google may be the last company. They'll just gobble up everybody else and become Skynet.

Fair market competition is dead. It has been for a long time. Companies use every trick in the book to gain advantage, ethics be damned. Fair market competition was the first casualty of Neoliberalism when companies took greed is good to their heart and focused only on increasing shareholder wealth. Ayn Rand must be spinning in her grave now.

Hey, do you have any connects to Loconomics?

Do the workers then have to be considered as an employee of the coop as per the co-op law? We are running into that issue. Our freelancers are all over the world and we cannot figure out if they have to be reclassified as employees of the coop.

There was a criminal investigation into Epstien as well. Look what happened to him. They even got his dead mans switch.

What about India? Are Indian generics affected as well?

I'm already in touch with the folks at usworker coop. Just attended their seminar on Friday.

SF. We are a fully remote company though.

What's the difference between a platform coop and a worker coop?

We are an crowdsourced transcription service and are seriously exploring converting into a worker coop. I have been researching worker coops for a month now. How do we get started?

Is Power PC a RISC cpu?

So why do the drug companies charge so much for the medicines then? I just finished watching the Valeant episode of Dirty Money and combined with this book, it all kind of makes no sense.

I fully support it. Hopefully it will not become a social media event and lead to more consumption.

You can roll your own captcha as well. Nobody forces you to use reCAPTCHA v3.

What about Google Analytics? They already have all my browsing history. reCAPTCHA data is not even as detailed as GA.

No mention of Dream Market. They just shut down. Didn't exit scam, didn't get seized. Probably the admins made enough money and retired.

Within the same city, the Hindu majority areas will look and feel noticeably different from the Muslim majority areas. The culture, and sometimes even language, is different.

DeepSpeech 3 from Baidu also uses transducers. http://research.baidu.com/Blog/index-view?id=90.

Is there any paper on the neural net used?

This looks to be quite useful. Is there a github project that I can play around with?

Was the code released?

Seems like magic! I wish I could do something similar with our chat support questions and answers. It would be nice to have something like this built-in.

Great series. It mentioned salesforce.com a couple of times. Any other tools that we can use?

Yeah. We can actually do that. We do have a prototype of that in the works.

Yeah, our language model needs some work. We're constantly improving our engine though. Since we are manual transcription service, we can feed back the hand-made changes by humans back into our model and re-train it. Thanks for checking it out!

Here's an automated transcript to start off with.
