discountsocialism [none/use name]
I went by an alias in college. I made up a name because this pushy girl wouldn’t leave me alone so I made up a name and it just snowballed from there. The problem is that I eventually made real friends through that social network and now that name will be forever present in my life.
Whats the state of the art now? Still collaborative filtering? Maybe some clustering algorithm or like neighbors in a graph? Streaming with like flink and spark sql or batch with a bunch of pythony stuff?
The government usually doesn’t just ask, they pay. They subsidize the effort outside of the grant system. Like how they give pro-american war movies a ton of money for ‘edits’ and access to military equipment for filming.
Either that or they got a credible threat that they would be shut down.
Doing the things they asked took a considerable about of effort and was likely expensive.
Like with most of capitalism, efficient is in conflict with equitable. The neoliberal wisdom is with transfers, you make the rich pay more to and subsidize the poor. Basically the tax system we have now except the only difference is that in our current system corruption has reduced the taxes for the rich to zero.
You are joking but the poll or head tax is the most efficient form of taxation since it applies to everyone and can’t be avoided. It’s a good tool for leftist policies because the rich can’t dodge it. The seattle head tax would have been a great policy if it wasn’t for all of the subsequent sabotage.
They want to be NIMBYs but are stuck paying $3k/mo for a shithole apartment.
Teslas will do pit maneuvers because the car in front of them is going too slow. They’ll swerve into oncoming traffic because they know that the puny human drivers will back down the protect their pathetic worthless lives. No cop can catch them, no person can stop them. You look out into the empty dark desert and you led headlights flick on and an audio recording of an engine plays. There’s no point in running, you accept your fate.
I worked in biotech on a working version of what she tried to make about 9 years ago except no microfluidics, just standard pipetting of ml volume liquid. It was all possible. I think the real issue is that most medical tests with small samples have higher error than the industry is willing to admit. IMO, she didn’t defraud investors, everything seemed like standard industry lies. This seems more like corruption of powerful people that are able to claw back their money on a losing bet.
My guess is that he will sell it to Oracle in 6 months for an undisclosed amount.
They are called SLABS, student loan backed securities. It’s not just some magic number the government can delete. A bunch of student loans are packaged up and sold to investors in private markets. I’m sure these investors have been pretty angry about the student loan repayment pause so they will be happy that those securities have gotten a lot safer.
