This question is silly. You can find business opportunities, jobs and romantic partners by pure chance in any social situation. If you're trying to find "tangible benefits" by asking people "did you find them by hanging

Ugh. I appreciate and agree with your perspective, but this isn't related to the content of the article at all. You just responded to the title

Nothing gets resolved in offline arguments either. That isn't the point. The idea of a non-factual disagreement is that both sides get to make a case and state their perspective, and everyone learns from it. You self-selected to be her

what % of people do you think would be willing to stop using search engines because they are unethical?

If you record me playing a song on my phone and post that on youtube, you're responsible for any copyright infringement, not me. There is no law against playing a song on your phone, even if you're being recorded

The problem with this test is that it's clear that people can commit enough resources to solve almost any one particular problem with "AI". If people are willing to pay tens or hundreds of millions of dollars they can create

my issue is that none of these things represent new capacities that humans didn't have before. a spreadsheet will help you to identify and track child abuse content. you could do that using paper if you committed enough resources My ho

It's a rare case when a neural net will give you materially different results than a random forest or an svm. ie, if an svm is 80% accurate, a well tuned neural net might be 83% accurate. sometimes that's a huge difference. in a d

One thing about football is that one play can have a huge impact on the game, but the overwhelming majority of plays do not. This gives you a contest where every new event could be meaningful and is worth watching, but doesn't become c

So one side believes that rich people secretly get together to eat babies, and the other side has a news opinion show? Yup, same thing.

> "while for the most part the other side just rolls its eyes and cracks jokes to 'own the libs.'" They literally stormed the capitol, dude. Here's the bottom line: there is not an equivalent of qanon or MTG on t

by hooande 6y ago
You couldn't think of an equivalent of qanon for the left, so you just elevated some minor critique until it satisfied your desire to say "both sides" and shut down any actual analysis. THIS is the problem!

Discretion is part of a bribe's value proposition. The existence of this post is why public speaking fees are a horrible vehicle for corruption. You have people complaining and asking for recusal. It's negative publicity and a h

so you think someone as internationally famous as Janet Yellen should charge the same rate as someone no one has heard of? Let me introduce you to a concept called supply and demand...

You realize that it's legal to form a political action committee and give literally unlimited amounts of money to any politician while they hold office, right?

by hooande 6y ago
Logistically, this is the stupidest way to bribe someone. There is a clear paper trail and everyone knows about it. The wealthy have dozens of highly discrete ways to legally transfer money to each other. Also given the number of speaking e

You have to solve this problem at a higher level. Why are black passengers more likely to live in poor and far away places? Obviously it will take time to resolve that. Generations at the least. But we have to do something in the mean time,

You misunderstood the fallacy. it's not "don't listen to experts". it's "a proposition isn't true only because another person says that it is true". While you may chose to save time by deferring to ex

I never said this wasn't possible. though it's just as likely as anyone calling anyone. practically, short selling hedge funds and silicon valley investors don't run in the same circles. yeah, they're socially connected

those are all silicon valley investment firms. they don't have any kind of direct relationship with hedge funds that specialize in short selling. this is essentially saying "discord has investors, and the stock market also has inv

This is interesting detail, but it doesn't sound like it requires hundreds of engineers. Most of this seems like relatively common functionality (processing payments) with heavy regionalization. None of this is cutting edge work. Knowl

While this could be considered a noble effort, I wish Alphabet would have tried harder. Google has enormous resources and talent. It seems like they dedicated relatively little to aggressively making Loon happen. When the US took a moon sho

Fame has a direct financial value. Any US president is among the most famous and well known people on earth. trump will make more money from speaking appearances than he did from any of his businesses over the last several decades
