I consider it like a chat in the library as opposed in the local cafe. I go to the section where people know their stuff about X, and we talk about X. It is definitely a network.

The reality is that instead of people going to a public kitchen , or a shelter, they will get even more in the hole, financial and social.

Why are you so interested in getting the vulnerable category even more indebted?

>"oh wise one"

You'll have a hard time in life with that attitude.

>"I'm very happy there was a lender of last resort that won't break my legs"

All of your support and encouragement of a superbly predatory practice comes from that line. You were happy that nobody broke your legs.

Do compare that with the history of slavery, where outside of conquest, people became slaves because they couldn't fulfill their financial obligations.

> "I mean, no where do they seem to be hinting at creating a government agency for lending of last resort"

North Korea has a government agency that is a collector of debts of last resort. For the debtor, or their immediate or extended family, or friends.

"but for most it makes 0 difference wether the training continuously happens in the cloud or locally on the NPU inside your phone."

Sadly, nobody will ever know if this is true as the choice doesn't exist.

Performance reasons.

Raven's progressive matrices and similar are differentiator of intellectual ability. SAT scores correspond to time spent on chair doing homework.

Anybody knows what's the potential savings? How much cheaper can the rpi be?

Somebody mentioned it's a pulsing one.

Where do you see "equity"? This is replacing a student loan, with a no barrier of entry, no approval needed, student loan.

If the housing market is any example of what happens when entry is eased (low % rates, etc), we are looking at student loans being a lot higher than they are now.

Whats the point of grading if there are repeats only for some?

I often wondered what's the point of that. I received the delivery email, I am still not at home, what would a picture do that the email doesn't?

Interesting. What wouldn't be usually dimmable?

Like they did with their initial xpoint announcements? They were cutting zeros off their performance numbers for months to come :p

If that wasn't lying, I don't know what is.

Intel had been sayinga lot of things lately that didn't turn out true. Xpoint claims, 10nm schedules, etc.

Is is probably a safe bet to ignore any news from there until they actually deliver anything and read independent benchmarks.

It is really sad, they used to be very correct in their communication.

Macromedia Fireworks.

And increase profits in the meantime.

Because factories for that are hard and very expensive to build?

Google indexes the entire website, often with multiple visits to the same individual page (to get comments, etc).

It definitely doesn't stop at "maybe a dozen" pages a month.

The real problem is Google indexing it.

Wasn't there even a rule from Google that you can't serve different content from what the general public is seeing?

China has their social score built around tracking. People can't get on planes/buses because of it now.

Considering all data is saved forever, how likely do you think your country is to get something similar in the next 30 years?

"you'll get used to it" is a bad measure of usability.

Data aggregation party. They'll resell it later.

That argument can be made from the other side about golang being artificially kept alive by Google.

The comparison isn't on equal footing.

What did Apple say no to? Last timei checked they served everything they were asked for.

Maybe. Although excluding nvidia would have to include a requirement ER leaks don't happen. On something as semi-legal and connected to all sorts of shady as bitcoin.

> could venture a guess about the reasons for the sudden drop

It has to decline, I was giving it 2-5 yeas, but it seems it dropped much faster: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15760415

As for the faster than usual now, my guess is few things. Main contribution is NVidia that had their earnings report, they told the planet flat out gpus aren't selling as well, so the gig that everybody is increasingly mining was called up. Normal people check out, traders can't trade if they can't short it and it's starts going downhill. So anybody that's in the business of not losing money stops the bots. But nvidia the most visible thing that creates sentiment among the crypto-evangelist population it seems.

The other reasons wound be, end of a 40 year bull run across western democracies, end of the minor cycle economy run, add to that a trade war, QT, people overexposed on the houses with HELOCs and stuff from that QT, and everybody will be pulling cash from everywhere since cash will matter fairly soon.

The rest is standard, stock market drop by 20% or much more, asset bubble deflation, etc etc. It's all fairly cyclical.

:p yes, there will be some of that around.

Keep in mind that for some take-home is a very big no.

I mean, if I attend a full day of interviews on site, after 4-5 phone interviews, asking me to code over the weekend after all that will just make me wonder what's wrong with the company.

There is no need for constant stream.

No. He should not name and shame, he should go talk to a laywer.

Whats with the trend lately to constantly trying to solve injustice with more injustice? That's just making more problems instead of less.
