Yeah, thats my problem. I want to live somewhere boring and cheap, because all I need is a place to live within walking distance of a grocery and a good internet connection. My wife on the other hand is concerned about things like weather

At PlotWatt, we've been using the picloud's pickler for a while in our own implementation of the picloud job queue. We don't have all of the bells and whistles that their service did, but running our own queue made it easier

I don't have great answers to the other questions, though I too am interested in them. #5) [1] has a some python code and timings mixed in to the docs. One such example (stacked denoising autoencoders on MNIST): By default the c

I don't know for sure, but its possible that a windows machine, if it did accidentally leak any meta-data about itself would be less unique than a linux install. Just a guess though.

It is possible that the homes were bought at lower prices in the past, and are now 'worth' more than the owners could afford to buy with thier current income.

You could even include some people who do have wealth since it will get canceled out by those who have negative wealth.

Also, if your net worth is -$0.05, you're worth more than all of those with less than you combined! Not only that but as someone with a net worth of -$10k, you too are worth more than the bottom 5% [1] of Americans combined as well.

Do you know why this isn't already happening at a pace to keep up with the changes they are measuring? Do you expect that the effects you mention are currently, but will soon catch up? I am honestly curious.

116 days of no light is really not all that different than places which have a winter that gets below freezing. Most plants in places with a winter die, fall and spring back up every single year. Where I live, first frost to last frost is

If your adversary includes the NSA, you have to consider the possibility that the NSA has required that they store logs and not tell anyone about it.

At least in Indiana where I love, these aren't guaranteed. Food stamps only last for a year or two and then you're done, even if you are still in a bad situation. Subsidized housing is a lottery with something like 1:4 odds. Ev

The path that seems to have worked best for me is to start with the argument that you can't have a democracy if the incumbent can spy on the opposing candidates to help dig dirt and that this data can and will be used for non-terrorist

The point of civil disobedience is that those doing don't believe that the official methods for determine what a good thing is are working. Comparing this suggested action to oil companies and the EPA is like comparing Ghandi to the K

Just as easily? That would be nice, but it appears to me that the NSA still has the upper hand here.

When I make this argument the most common response is that they have faith in the goodness of people and dont consider these risks to be very significant.

Yeah, not surprising in the least. I think in many cases we have the physical ability to destinguish these things we just dont care to pay attention. It isnt exactly the same, but there are people who can tell what other animals are sayi

An idea i've heard and liked is to allow direct democracy like you've described, but also allow anyone to select any representative that they want (they're brother, someone with a good history, etc). Allow them to override t

Imagine a government which has popular support, but only because their PR is so good. Is this a success for democracy?

It is completely relevant. The ancestor post was making the argument that we already have a minimal support system in the USA that anyone can take advantage of a pursue their dreams. They just need to take food-stamps/etc. This doesn't s
