Thanks!

Seems interesting. I haven't been able to look through all of the links, but I assume there are practical exercises and "homework"? When people say "I don't do or have the opportunity to do ML at work" it'

I agree and I don't think it's a conspiracy any more than I would any other powerful lobbying group. Autonomous vehicles, in my opinion, have the potential, if not high probability to make things worse. Instead of increasing popul

I think the actual problem is a political one. Too many industries need highways to get bigger and to have more Americans buy cars.

For now. Where I live, and in some other cities I've visited in the Great Lakes Region (like Pittsburgh or Cleveland), people are increasingly moving back to the downtown areas. For now it's primarily young people, but the differe

I could change zoning laws and provide tax incentives. Those work pretty well.

I would build mixed-use development neighborhoods, and create spaces where people would be able to meet together for events, etc. I'd move highways that go straight through the downtown area and reroute them around the city. I'd m

Yes. I have a high-paying job, a mortgage, and although I'm personable I don't see any starting point or path toward doing anything about it.

To say that it is an extremely poor argument (as though I was giving an argument) is a bit hyperbolic. I'm not a proponent of the style of urban living you find in mega-cities either, though I'll propose that they are a superior a

Right. It's not an issue of technology, for the most part, but it's the way American cities are designed. Instead of mixed-use walkable neighborhoods where people with a variety of incomes and backgrounds live, and stay put, we ha

I do dislike them exiting the router business. As for losing customers, well, then we will look at the sales numbers. I wasn't "happy" with the new MacBook Pro lineup, but I personally love the direction they're going. T

Thanks. I would rather have money in the hands of people and companies so that they can do stuff with it. I'm not anti-government, but I believe that people and corporations spend money more effectively for themselves than the governme

What is your definition of hurt? Taxing the profit sure seems to me like it "hurts" the company as they have less resources.

Technology in this context isn't an investment. Wires aren't investments. Wires are a cost. Imagine if your kids grow up and never have to buy a single cable for anything. How much money would that save them over their lives? What

Yeah it may suck for you, but it won't suck for the people that buy whatever this equipment is and then use it over USB-C once that company makes the conversion. It's like if we had no common way of measuring things. Imagine havin

(1) Nonsense. (2) Trickle down economics doesn't work. I would also like to add that a luxury tax is very different than taxing rich people. I am not a fan of luxury tax at all.

You're right. It's about fixing the corporate tax problem.
649.
by muninn_ 10y ago
Nah it's not really good. We need to just tax rich people if that's what we're going to do. Taxing a corporation takes operating money away from that corporation to spend on other things. Normally this is where people say &qu

You as the individual don't matter. Parts will fail, components will need to be replaced, time moves forward. The future will be those same devices (or similar) using a single cable that will be compatible with everything, or it will b

I don't really care for making the laptops increasingly thin, but the ports are just nonsense. Carrying around a 10 pound laptop with a trunk full of adapters is going to be a thing of the past and I can't wait for the future.

You know what works better? One cable that does all of that or no cables at all.

It's not a deficiency. Laptops can't do everything. Apple can't build a computer that caters to every edge case. That's why I don't complain that I can't play the latest video games on my laptop, or run 50 VM b

Buy a desktop or a special interface port if you need something specialized.

We're living in a transitory period as we move from a world of wires and connectors to a wireless world. This is the pain we have to endure as technology is pushed forward. If it were up to the luddites and their obsession with compati

Google (or Facebook) developing those ads aren't providing value in a vacuum. Now my Internet experience sucks, my privacy is exploited, I'm psychologically manipulated to buy more shit I don't need (to increase the stock val

What you're describing here isn't unethical. It's a business. I think people like you and me are disappointed that they've gone from being a "good guy" to just another business. The veil is lifted and our super

I prefer something like ublock as well, but I wouldn't call what AB+ is doing a morally ambiguous question. I think this is actually pretty straight forward all around. I can install or uninstall software on my computer. Websites can s

So I understand what you're saying here, and it makes sense. At the same time, I see career section after career section offering the same kind of perks with much smaller companies. Maybe it's not 3 meals of gourmet food, but free
