lord_ring_111··on Why the world should adopt a basic income
Yes. Espectually given advances in automation this looks like the most reasonable path. This solves both the UBI as well as also stops the accumulation of power in hands of few due to efficiencies and scaling factors.
lord_ring_111··on Things That Happen in Silicon Valley and Also the Soviet Union
Of late i have noticed is u praise us or condemn other countries you get down voted.
lord_ring_111··on Americans Are Having Fewer Babies
Would be interesting to see birth rate/death rate by race/religion. I think over next 50+ years there will be significant shifts in demographics.
lord_ring_111··on In Denmark, Harsh New Laws for Immigrant ‘Ghettos’
With all due respect blacks are afraid even in their own native land of africa, and similarly muslim in many muslim countries. That along with economical betterment is one of the key reasons why ppl immigrate in first place.
lord_ring_111··on Uproar as Uganda telecom companies implement mobile money, social media taxes
If all governments do that, it will instantly raise humanity’s iq and eq up a notch and help govt get money too.
lord_ring_111··on Model predicts we're the only advanced civilization in the observable universe
May be may be not. I wish my teachers would have accepted such answers in my high school
lord_ring_111··on What life could be like for civilizations 1 trillion years from now
Speaking of pessimism, i just hope we humans destroy each other before we destroy earth to pave way to species which is not so hell bent on personal over society.
lord_ring_111··on Facial recognition rolled out by London police sparking human rights concerns
Human rights vs protection from criminals/terrorists is a delicate balance. I am curious what are the human rights that get violated by having cameras that identify illegal activities.
lord_ring_111··on Keras vs PyTorch
Tensorflow also does not work without needing to build urself for my 2010 or so cpu. So i ended up trying pytorch and i am glad i did. Liking it better than esoteric errors.
lord_ring_111··on The Surface Book 2 is everything the MacBook Pro should be
Comparison to ubuntu is silly. Comparison should be with osx.
lord_ring_111··on China Begins to Question Whether It’s Ready for a Trade War
So true. China has been waging this quite war for over a decade. Pegging its currency, flooding us market with cheap (and unreliable) good (which are expensive when u consider tco and environment), stealing ip to leapfrog us without needing heavier investment, us loosing manufacturing knowhow, buying off local realestate causing jacked up prices in us. Its unfortunate that we took this lonv to react. Not sure if next administration will keep up this good work to keep china in check.
lord_ring_111··on Facebook abandons Aquila, its internet drone
Seems rational. I would not count on fb being abke to compete with fulltime airplane design companies when they started focusing on it. Fb instigated the market, others who are more capable are picking it up, so fb handed over the batton.
lord_ring_111··on Trump Plans New Curbs on Chinese Investment, Tech Exports to China
It is a solution. Buying real-estate is not as economically productive as say creating a factory. We created factories in china, imported their goods, gave them $$$, with which they are slowly buying america. Remember every time u import, you are selling your country. If its not balanced with exports, you are eventually handing off the country. America was long depending on fooling other countriesby devaluing dollars, but tgat does not work with china.

Trump might impose tariff?
