Perhaps. But not many people wants to live like an Amish.

Actually, my point was, the amount of money was not the point of the article, but being the richest man yet having a less comfortable life was.

Yet, his main argument was not really about it.

"The Guardian" has a left leaning bias. So I am not surprised with the way of reporting.

I really dislike filmmakers doing this kind of stupid stunts (Ok I admit I hate the film makers tries do deceive even more . Like the idiots who make eagle taking a child or flying wing man etc.). Why not put a Ak-47 or a hand grenade to

This reminded me 2010 KPSS scandal of Gulenists.I guess they want to go other way around..

by afsina 11y ago
Because, it was all fun and games until a hacky "arab spring" like attempt in 2013 summer and later Gulenists decided to take government down at the end of 2013. Even though Government won the battle it was a strong blow. Governme

Looking at the many definitions of poverty, historical living standards and global averages, I say it is quite ok.

They will say, "They did not fail because of socialism." or "They were not true socialists." Anarcho-Capitalist Hoppe explains this in the book "A theory of Socialism and Capitalism" (Bear in mind that he puts

Tell me some of those plenty. When there is little to no coercion from government I doubt any free-market society will fail. And even if it fails, it cannot be as miserably as those socialist ones. Freeing markets almost-always brings bette

I do not see Hawking as an expert of Economics or Philosophy. And I do not share his predictions of a dystopian evil Capitalist AI future. Some capitalist insight on the topic: https://mises.org/library/technology-and

They use Github now.

AFAIK, On the contrary. They officially support only linux. But community provides Windows support. I do not know Mac support. AFAIK again, Kaldi is mainly targeted server and desktop applications

They should move from Sphinx to Kaldi and from GMM to DNN acoustic models. Instant 30% improvement.

I also find this distinction stupid. Just abolish all patents and make your business plan accordingly (High quality products, Trade secrets, Saturating the market, Early entry advantage, etc.) I have yet to see a compelling argument agains

AFAIK for such decisions human information/intelligence is required. And there are often screw ups/bad decisions. No need for bad machine learning algorithms for this.

by afsina 11y ago
I am not defending peoples lousy/callous decision processes for fatal actions. But telling that bad machine learning algorithms are responsible for killings is just stupid.

by afsina 11y ago
Oh come on "machine learning algorithm may be killing thousands.." just put a "may be" and your BS assertion becomes more plausible? By looking at this, people are having and idea that attack drones (it is rich that arti

For salt lakes it is quite common to dry out sometimes. Besides changing river paths, excessive under ground water use and dams are more likely effecting them rather than global warming.

To me, all 'soft' leftism converge to more radical socialism in time, if economy can withstand it of course. In social democracy once you start, you never stop. More publicization, more taxation, more government regulations, price

Norway has 5 millions of people and crap load of oil money in the piggy bank.

There are also Andorra, Lichtenstein and probably Macao and Hong Kong (They could be just fine without England and China).
236.
by afsina 11y ago
I doubt that. Singapore, Monaco and Luxembourg are doing just fine without the blessing of a big state.

by afsina 11y ago
Why so?

I wish we can have real city states as I think they have a lot of advantages over large-central states. Easier accountability of the governments, easier mobility and probably less trade restrictions.
