   plus I don’t have to sign up on yet another service for just one film/show. I am 100% in for paying for the films/shows. Just give me a convenient cross-platform option to do so without any BS

   A lot of people just don’t get it. The US is the most powerful country in the word because of its technology and economy. Losing that will pretty much mean that others (likely non-democracies) will rule the world

   I am not quite sure that smaller companies can offer higher wages. Also, keep in mind a story of Bell Labs - the innovation power house hugely responsible for tens of Nobel Prize winning inventions such as transistor and solar cells. You ne

   everything described above is a good thing. Why do you care that someone will become insanely rich by improving lives for millions?

   I am a CA voter and I do think gas prices should be twice what they are now (e.g. more like western europe). Of course, a change like that should be gradual but steady

    that’s what we did. We had a popular open source project using TF 1.x For it’s successor we chose Pytorch instead of TF 2 and have been very happy with this decision

    I am not happy about dictatorship having a sizable influence on the world - long term, I believe, it is a dead end (I have lived in USSR). I am even less happy about Saudi Arabia. IMHO, it is the worst regime in the world (worse than NK) an

    yes, economic isolation helps - compare the amount of influence N. Korea (isolated) has in the world to the one of China (not isolated).

    »If you need to transition from TF1 to TF2, consider doing the TF1 to pytorch transition instead.» - that’s exactly what we did and we don’t regret that decision

    my parents had to be part of the union (USSR, so no choice). Union leaders decide who goes on vacation, when and where (e.g. paid trips to beautiful Crimea). Also, of course, who is paid what amount. Of course, if you aren’t relative/f
