Yes every homeowner at this point would be confused how this is not just a straight up accidental water damage claim. She has a mortgage so insurance is a must. This story sounds fishy.

by jonkho 3y ago
So she doesn’t have homeowners insurance that covers accidental water damage?

No one is being shafted. With each paycheck, the obligations of the company are met.

Yep people talk like they are owed something. They are not. Outstanding obligations are met with each paycheck.

But fiat currencies were designed to be inflationary which makes them shitty store of value. There is no point in saving in fiat today when it’s value will be lower tomorrow.

Yes and we need tools to route around stupidity to keep checks and balances on stupidity. Otherwise locked-in stupidity can get even more stupid and that’s how suffering occur at scale.

Would you be annoyed if you owned shares of a company and the company prints new shares to dilute the value of your holdings?

Andrew Tate is a chess player and promoted chess. Andrew Tate was the most internet famous person for a period of time with a huge following in the teen male demographic. Possible cause-effect.

A fresh mortgage initiated today might be similar to current rents. I think what the OP meant is a mortgage that was initiated 15 to 20 years ago is far cheaper than rent today which is true.

That would have to be a 1% real yield on top on the massive XX% inflation the free money would cause! So XX + 1% would be the nominal yield to make it a viable business.

Have you tried parasite cleanse? I’ve used veterinary dewormers to great effect. I’m also surprised no one has mention doing sinus rinses to clear their breathing problems.

> That statement is incorrect, the logic is flawed. Just because a tool has both legal and illegal uses does not necessarily have any bearing whatsoever on whether the tool’s distribution is legal. Tools that are illegal to distribute ca

If you understand that the model is a tool, and that as a tool it can be used to generate activity that can violate laws and be used for other perfectly legal activities, then as a broad principle the distribution of said tool is not a vi

How is creating the model in my brain not illegal (as in my thoughts are not illegal) yet if it’s in silicon it would be illegal? Please give a well reasoned answer. This is not a strawman no matter how many times you insist on using that l

My claim has always been that 1) the creating of the model is does not violate copyright. Claiming otherwise means running same algorithm in meatspace would violate copyright laws, which implies thoughts violates laws which is absurd. 2) di

So we are in agreement that it is not violating copyright laws to run the algorithm on copyrighted works to produce the model, because if it is, my thoughts could be illegal too. In the end only actions such as reproducing the work and di

You are loading up my question with your own assumptions. My point specifically is if I’m just observing a piece of work and running the NN algorithm in my brain, does this constitute as illegal thought then? Do my thoughts violate rights?
50.
by jonkho 4y ago
So if I visually look at a piece of work and “run” the NN training algorithm in my meat-space brain or even on pen and paper, do I need to ask for permission for doing so? Or is permission required only if silicon chips “run” the algorithm?

The company made the hires to the presumed benefit for the company. The company will pay.

It means he will pay severance, benefits for months even after the people are gone. It’s just that people are so used to this entitlement that they overlook it by default.

The fed’s plan is to “lower demand” which is just another way of saying it will make things more unaffordable on net, not less. So this makes sense.

“everything would be fixed and we wouldn't have any environmental problems.” Ah…age-old gaslight tactic. Using words like “everything” “all” “any” to encapsulate your opponents argument then using a non-sequitor counter-point (leaded g

Cash spent on housing, universities etc doesn’t “sink into a hole and disappear”. Someone else on the other side of the transaction got it and can spend it. On the other hand, raising taxes to collect said cash to neutralize the debt would

1929 was caused by excess credit issuance. True, that the gold standard was in place, but the spirit to keep credit in check was not. The federal reserve already existed, so this excess was made possible by their control of credit.

I’m saying the history of boom and bust is from excessive money printing, and later on from the contraction of the money supply.
