So explain what's the tangible difference between receiving benefits while the parent is alive and after they're dead? Either way the child is inheriting economic wealth they didn't produce, which shines a light on the horrendousness of your argument.
That's a truly horrendous position you've taken. You're arguing that it is somehow rational to not want a child to benefit from his or her caretakers. The only logical conclusion from this is why stop at death? Why don't we make it so it's illegal for a parent to take any action that provides any sort of benefit for their children, and all children are dependent upon the state from birth, with all adults paying a mandatory 'childcare' tax. This way all children can start out life on 100% equal footing, and also without any opportunity to experience what a parent's love and sacrifice really is. What a dystopian future you desire.
Those are fair points. However, also missing in these discussions is the fact that oftentimes throwing more people at a software problem is known to not necessarily increase output, and can sometimes have the reverse effect. Depending on the situation, having specialists on the front-end and back-end may not improve things unless there is a specific goal/problem in mind that a specialist in one area can solve.
The government does the same thing with SS. If you pass away before collecting benefits, those benefits aren't passed on to those who inherit your estate.
Define economic winner....you mean top line income and area GDP? These places are the most expensive places in the country to live, and quality of living is considerably lower. Incomes may be lower in many areas of the country, but when you consider you can pay $2k/mo on a 5,000 sq ft mortgage instead of renting a 900 sq ft apartment, I don't view these places as economically successful as many perceive them to be.
I'm not arguing Musk's tweet wasn't ill advised, but this seems to say a lot about how fragile our system is if 140 poorly thought out characters can cause so much damage. What about the fiduciary duty of all those investors who changed their positions based on this information? If you are putting millions of dollars at risk based on a cryptic tweet, you are failing at your job as much as Musk failed at his, and you don't deserve to be protected by the SEC.
I think you are confusing the definition of rent seeking, meaning achieving economic gains by means of regulation that is virtually risk free, with collecting rent as a form of payment for a service or product. These are two different concepts, despite the name they share.
Has anyone heard of implementing an architecture where you have normal server backend architecture, while using serverless to handle traffic spikes and any failover? If you properly modularize your backend codebase, it shouldn't be excessively costly to duplicate it across a serverless architecture and in some sort of node instance.
My biggest issue with serverless is the high cost at scale, which could be mitigated with this type of architecture. Are there any other benefits or concerns regarding something like this?
Many comments here are sharing their results from using the examples. It's important to keep in mind the examples are trained on datasets that may or may not include data on the examples you are uploading, which means random images or words not included in the training data sets will likely return bad results.
Please keep this in mind when judging the quality of the library....the data you use to train the model affects the quality of your results.
Unpopular opinion here, but I just don't see PWAs living up to the hype. Yes, there are lots of technical advantages, they're catching up to native apps in capabilities, and there is reduced friction by bypassing app stores. However, the ingrained user behavior of downloading apps from the app store, trust of knowing what you're downloading by doing so (yes, even on Android), and browsability on mobile falling behind searching the app store from a ux standpoint make me think there are still some big barriers to PWAs taking the mobile world by storm. Yes, they'll have their place, but I don't see them living up to the hype often promised by their evangelists.
Who holds the review board accountable for making bad decisions vs the accountability of the courts? I think this question is just as important. Aside from that, I imagine it's far easier for a lobbyist to get someone who is industry friendly appointed to the review board vs appointed as a judge, which is concerning.
Broadness is not a bar to patentability, as long as that breadth doesn't read on other claimed art or is obvious. There might be other reasons to invalidate the patent, but that's not one of them.
If the same level of effort were applied to educating the population about Google and Facebook abuses as would be needed to successfully end NSA spying via elections, they both would be out of business. Political activism is incredible expensive and moves at a much slower pace than the free market.
I absolutely agree with this. Trying to build a hardware product in a prior startup I owned, finding capable manufacturers without spending several thousand dollars to fly to China was extremely difficult. In addition, there is now a severe lack of knowledge related to manufacturing considerations when making design decisions because of this. This is an expensive price to pay that's not necessarily included in many free trade benefit analyses.
It's entirely possible, but it didn't go unnoticed that the women of the family who didn't have kids didn't develop dementia, and those who did have kids did end up with it later in life.
Anecdotal evidence in my grandmother's family indicates yes. 7 brothers and sisters, and all women who had children in the family developed dementia late in life.
The electoral college is another gatekeeper, and many advocating for Facebook's better political advertising controls advocated for abolishment of the electoral college.
My experience with firebase is that it gets way more credit than it deserves. It's easy to develop on, but we had connectivity issues almost weekly with it, despite their status page saying everything was running smoothly. Firebase also has scaling issues. Last I heard, you can't have over 100,000 concurrent users, but it's not really publicly stated anywhere.
This is ultimately what will limit AI's impact/growth. Most people aren't comfortable with the idea of giving up their own judgement to anything else - other humans or machines.
For many, in particular among those who aren't self-motivated, having a job provides much more than just a paycheck. For one's mental health, knowing you are contributing something back to society provides an enormous boost to your sense of self-worth, regardless of how big the paycheck is at the end of the day.
