That's why you pick your "friends" carefully.

They are providing marketing and a sales channel aren't they? At the least a referral service. If it were such a well known product this would be arbitraged away.

Pretty sure it's infinite% margin when the same report is sent again for another application fee.

Nonsense. Spamming applications is strictly better than spamming low-information contact requests, and nobody seems to mind that. Instead you'll get structured applicant information that can be filtered against.

I've never seen it go towards first month's rent, but that's not the point. The money isn't going to the landlord or the tenant, but to the data aggregators.

It's still a risk, the new landlord may not want an unstable source of income even if the previous one did.

That and the entire rental background check industry. $30-$50 fees for each submission of the same report on what is effectively your own data.

I'm not talking about the existence of economic value, but of settlement. So there is no settlement except at an indefinite transaction event -- not even under your control if they're non-voting shares, i.e. "whenever".

How do stocks that never pay a dividend settle?

I am coming to believe a large contingent don't actually care about trustlessness. They care about the deflationary aspect because it's supposed to make them rich.

Why should they capture all of that value, most of which was generated by the community itself? They should get paid for the generated efficiency but should not be paid for the gross value passing through the network.

Is it just Stack Overflow or Stack Exchange over all? If the latter, that's a lot more content that doesn't expire that quickly.

Suppose for a moment this was not a lab leak. What kind of evidence would be sufficient to be convincing? Or are we looking for investigation after investigation until the end of time? What this letter fails to establish is a success criter

You'd need to find that bat that you imagine bit someone in October 2019, swab its nose or anus and sequence for SARS-CoV-2, because the closest known bat virus relative to SARS-CoV-2 has a decades-long evolutionary gap to it. Oh, also

This is not evidence of anything in particular, without some Bayesian calibration: - What other kinds of virus research besides coronavirus was done at the WIV? - What proportion of coronaviruses are anyway derived from bats? - What were th

That's exactly it. It's not that every article is unreliable, it's that there is no way to tell. I suppose you can take a look at the edit history and see how sparsely vetted an article is, but some metric like that prominent

Side note, maybe as technology removes barriers to access to resources that used to be gated by social graces, extroversion and agreeableness are changing in importance. In other words, in a world where machines outcompete humans, what used

To the extent that PCA of survey results exhibit dimensionality, that is real. The underlying basis might be modes of social dynamics or clusters in genetics or language. It would be surprising to find that totally unconstrained random proc

Theoretical physicists are handwavy a.f. to an extent that you can't tell a crank from a real one.

The decision reasoning is super helpful to put things in context. The arbitrary binary decision to "accept" vs "reject" especially for the snooty "high bar for acceptance at ICLR" is laughable in a world of fre

Truly, I believe there are multiple architectures for information processing in the body, and not only in the brain/neurons. Think of the computing landscape where you have a salad bowl of ANN's implemented on TPU's, some GPU
835.
by pishpash 6y ago
I think it's a bit more than looking at different steps, it's about what's fundamental architecturally vs. not. The synaptic side is saying the internals aren't fundamental, in the same sense that you can have ANN's

Even then, do you want people who are incentivized to pump-and-dump the macro market during their term? You'd almost need to enforce this for 10 years or more, even if it goes beyond their term.

Maybe it's rather better to ruthlessly focus resources on a few things rather than know a little but not enough about everything.

Not necessarily. It's suggested as a way to maintain the typing decision the original parent made, but which itself is undesirable. The pattern can be changed to, func main() { var c Compressor // signal do nothing

Nils are typed initial values, that should be clear from the existence of nil slices. Don't check nil on an interface type. Check in compress(), where a concrete type is established.

Sure, with = (in this case the shorthand :=), what happens before can change how it works. The second := in case 2 should have raised a visual alarm. The fact that := even assigned for err a second time means inference could have happened,
