Um... so... you do know authors make a good amount of their money nowadays from audiobooks, right? Ultimately this hurts authors more. Edit: I'm getting downvoted because I think authors should get paid for their work? Wow. Okay, ive b

I mean, let's put it in these terms and see how you feel. Write a book. Your average book that reaches shelves takes 4 to 8 months to write. About 2 months for the first draft and roughly 4 to 10 rewrites depending on the author's

I guess if there's interest in it. Honestly, it's not like I'm that good at programming. Literally, all I did was second guess every line of code and operation I put down. I would try to think of alternatives and research for

Nah. Like I said, it was a distraction project and I don't do dev for work anymore. Honestly, making a basic ML framework is not hard. I'm not the greatest programmer. Hell, I'd barely say I'm even decent. So if I could

I started to learn machine learning relatively seriously. But I've always had issues with frameworks where the team goes out of their way to be clever rather than straightforward. ML frameworks to me are plagued with that. And I hate p

My two cents to add. Dont use a highlighter. Underline with a pen. Especially a good ink rich black pen. Not a cheap bic pen. Too many highlights annoy the hell out of the eyes. At least to me. And the older I get, the more it frustrates my

Ok, everyone says this. But by how much? Half a second? I load a video on youtube now with maybe 3 out of 5 bars and it starts playing in one maybe two seconds. I need to buy a new phone for what now? I need to agree to higher taxes or cut

I do believe it changes by state, but they do get payouts for doing a large portion of the project. However, the way it worked in the past, they pay a monthly lease to the city for using the land. For example, cell towers can cost 2k-10k a

Okay, that's a very fair statement I can agree to. However, I mostly argue that the taxpayer cost doesn't justify the gains. It's expensive and most counties and cities have to foot the bill or heavily subsidize it. If the te

You can already stream online courses and watch educational videos with 4g... same with wireless medical devices. What does 5g offer that 4g already hasn't?

That's fine. Prove me wrong. That's the point to a discussion. You share points of view. But if I follow your path of discourse, I could just say you're a sheep that'll believe whatever silicon valley tells you.

To be fair though... are you willing to pay to run miles upon miles upon miles of copper or fiber? For free? Someone has to do it. And they really dont feel like doing and flip burgers too.

How would and how many lives will be made better with 5g? Will it help people with debt? Will it increase housing supply to lower home ownership/renting costs? Will it help people stop overdosing? Maybe cool the climate a little? No. I

Agreed. Especially the opioid crisis. I think it's a "relatively easy" problem to solve. I'm totally for tax money to go to people who truly want to get cleaned up and put on the right path. I think that'll help a g

Reality is, it's also far more expensive to install 5g. It requires more fiber lines to run to more poles. Also, the telecom companies lobbied on state levels the max cities can charge for renting out putting stuff on poles. Plus tryin

Thanks for the extra info. Okay so, $20b in equipment for 300mil cameras... eh yea. I'll say that's maybe about right. After I wrote that, I was estimating $35b-$40b to deploy (fuzzy head math), including labor and infrastructure.

A taxi company with an app that decided to just sub-contract its workforce. Which was obviously brilliant and they don't need me to say that. But, I don't think it's a tech company. Adding drivers is not necessarily that easy

You know, I read that and went "No they don't. That's not possible. That industry doesn't make that much in a day." And I was right, it's actually ~$239 billion a day. Like... wow. And even that, by other sourc

I can't remember where I heard this or who said it, but I do like it and use it as my own definition. A tech company is a company whose product is "easily" scalable with a few taps of the keyboard and clicks of the mouse. A g

100 percent coverage... sure. Okay. This is what we like to call "propaganda". Reality, it's just high density areas and thoroughfare. Plus I would sell them to put cameras up in places that are known for dissident patrons. F

Not arguing. I did say vice versa applies to my example. But this is the point to the whole system. It's supposed to attempt to keep everyone's needs in mind. Gov body structures were originally figured out for countries the size

To your arguement about why do LA residents count less. I say it's not neccesarily less. Just differently. Do you want someone who has never farmed in their lives. Probably never even picked up a shovel, have a say in the rules and reg

Really sparse on details. Any chemists able to throw their two cents? Maybe which NASA program they might be talking about? This feels like a perpetual energy gimmick.

18 dog teams? What a thorough experiment. Sounds like the infamous chocolate weight loss study that was pushed to the media that made them look stupid. To a small degree I can agree to this. But I have k9 officer friends and I know their do

Fringe academic theory is being generous. This is more someone watched that ten minute cartoon YouTube video on "how centralized banks really work" and now think they're economic experts.

Actually itd be smarter to force everyone to learn a long dead obscure language. That way everyone starts from scratch rather than a group having a leg up.

So, other cultures have zero value in the grand scheme of things? On that note, I'd even say having a personality or individual preferences has zero value too. We run into so many problems as a global society with different ideas of ho

I watched a thing on Japan regarding gambling a few years ago. From what I remember and understand, gambling is illegal. There's loophole, its illegal for straight up money. Thus, I think its pachinko, you win tokens while playing. Th
