besides the surveilence part, yes I do. social acceptance is a huge part of being a teen, no matter the social circle. I was on irc throughout my early teens.

yes? if they don't know that predators exist or what drugs are, that is setting them up for dramatic failure

really depends on the context. Embedded software has its own fun challenges, but for a simple web app, the last thing I want to worry about is controlling allocations

This seems to be a mild deterrent at best. most doors can be kicked down fairly easily. A window with plastic foil is only as good as its framing.

I think this isn't really giving credit. Standard deep learning is not really slowing down. It is improving exponentially still. Just yesterday I was looking into new deep learning methods for solving PDEs. That is a huge area to explo

The gesture, is that the man is willing to spend that much money, and because of that, is serious about the woman, sort of like a purchase. Its not an investment in the sense of producing or keeping value. Of course, times are very differen

I has nothing to do with branding. It is entirely about price and false scarcity. traditionally it was an important gesture that the man was investing a large sum of money into his soon to be wife

hardly anything special? have you seen the new press release? the prototype has an order of magnitude better resolution of brain signals. It is special if it was stopped right now and just given to neuroscience departments at universities.

rent scales with land(finite resource) price. If everyone in the country made a million dollars, rent prices would not be where they are.

it is still not wealth. A certain amount of wealth is even needed to do what you are talking about. You need sufficient housing, food, health, and free time to learn to program. All of which would scale with inflation

the things that matter are. Land, housing, access to others labor. Natural resources.

that hypothetical can't exist though, so what is the point in entertaining it. The world have finite resources, money (no matter the inflation) is a way to ration this to people. Not every single person can have a mansion in SF.

not sure what side you are trying to argue? The whole point, is corporations get the benefits of both, and the downside of neither. They have liability and tax advantages that people don't have, yet they also have tremendous politic po

if seems like all collection of social structures eventually coalesce into a duopoly.

I guess in a world without regulations or laws? The entire economy is predicated on patent and copyright law, as western civilization has deemed it beneficial to protect innovation and reward the innovator.

That is categorically untrue. Evolutionary, humans are a social species. My comment is it doesn't happen in a vacuum, which is obvious to the extent that it is impossible to live in a vacuum. A man that somehow survived being raised by

Not necessarily. An extremely low profit margin is a sign of a commodities market, where there isn't really a space for innovation. For example a grocery store, so you are competing on very fine details and logistics. High margin, COUL

It doesn't make you a great thinker, but it is certainly a requirement. it is necessary but not sufficient. Did Einstein make relativity or Nietzsche "Thus Spake Zarathustra " in a vacuum?

I think you are making general assumptions that are not universally true. I know its the hot take to consider any humanities program to be brain washing kids into SJWs. Philosophy's basic main tenet is to critically engage with ideas.

I think its a little disingenuous to say that these people are privileged. Make no mistake, there was plenty of cost/benefit analysis done with things like in house lunch. It attracts people to the company, less people leave for lunch

This is beyond dramatic. To actually suggest copy/paste is preferable is asinine. Once you get used to them, they are fine. I never have issues with submodules and I get to easily change revisions of dependencies.

If your only goal is memorizing the material, then sure. But usually it is a goal in of itself, to apply knowledge to novel problems and develop a solution. There are no solution manuals to unsolved problems. If you went your whole graduate

what you are describing is not collusion or market manipulation. If it was, CNBC should be investigated for recommending stocks daily. random people post analysis and others decide if they agree. Even if there were people saying to buy to c
