I had never thought of the need to remove perspective. Interesting!

You're talking now of an effective marginal rate > 100%, which is not what you said originally ("If you want less of something, tax it. If you want more of something, subsidize it."). I agree marginal rates should always b

Yeah, agreed, I was thinking of the footballer because it's a real-life case I know of. But it's not necessary to have rich parents, just not being poor helps with those other societal factors you mentioned that hinder equal oppor

Should have honked too (maybe it did).

I disagree: You're describing what fans of him will think of his son. But in this kid's day-to-day life after graduating, unless he becomes famous on his own, nobody will know who he is. They'll just see a dude that dresses w

I see that, and yet those other factors nowadays have some correlation with wealth too. In Spain gypsies are discriminated against, with a stereotype of them being poor, not educated, and thieves. And yet the children of a rich gypsy footba

I admire the patience with which you've responded in succession to two different commenters that didn't bother to read your comment, to which they were replying.

Following that argument, if we taxed them, their ways to not escape poverty would be even less sustainable. Victory! Ridiculous conclusion from a simplistic argument.

Would still be more informative than the average.

It's a good metric for success at giving everyone equal opportunity at birth.

Nah, I'm rebutting the argument of "the effect of any possible collusion was small, so no collusion existed".
252.
by euyyn 9y ago
The existence or not of collusion is independent on whether said collusion was ineffective or unnecessary. The allure of populist retoric is very powerful, and this election showed it's a weak spot in the American system.

From the way they try to explain it, I think they meant to say a "countable" number of points, instead of finite.

I bet you can still probably build it and use it more easily with C++ than with C.

I'm biased here, but after Inbox, and after the mobile Calendar apps being upgraded, I was super excited about the web Calendar upgrade. I love it.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. How is 75 mph some political goal?

> rules are wrong because politicians decide them I would have thought speed limits are decided by technicians, based on statistics. I don't think it's elected politicians who decide them.

Started in the 80s doesn't mean the code is 30 years old, as they keep adding to it and modifying it in Fortran. Plus most of the analysis part is probably just math routines that don't need modification ever after.

Yeah I used Google Translate that way in Japan earlier this summer, it was life-saving. I do see the point of convenience the earbuds bring to it, though, not having to hand the phone forth and back.

You don't need a Pixel to use these headphones, though, do you? I would think any Android phone lets you do the real-time translation with them.

Thanks for the pointer! That explains it.

Ridiculous title and claim from journalists that don't learn physics. The title of the original paper is "Experimental simulation of closed timelike curves". Cue the word "simulation".

Automatic speech recognition that would spell out the menu item next to the corresponding digit would be sweet.

by euyyn 9y ago
I guess I was very lucky then. But I was definitely better off than without Google Translate.

What if it's a long war and the whole Navy is just shorter in personnel?

by euyyn 9y ago
The demo shown included using both the earbuds and the phone, so the display would still be there.

Google Translate being free doesn't "take revenue away" from another free service, though. Plus I bet Google's precedes those other two.

> the OEMs Google paid to manufacture their devices I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think that's how it was. LG's Nexus devices were manufactured by LG for LG, etc. The "Google" part of a Nexus phone is the s
