I would like there to be serious consequences for these prediction not panning out. So far very, very few models have shown any predictive power, and they're all on the "less dramatic", non-doomsday side of the spectrum. So I'd like to see real consequences for alarmism. I.e. we record the prediction, and then 20 years later if it's within less than, say 20% accurate, and it was used to influence public policy, you get to pay 1% of the cost of the measures taken or something like that. I'm open to suggestions. Right now the situation is absurd: I can whip up a computer program which would justify spending trillions of dollars on shit that's not going to work, and the mainstream press will take it at face value and spread my "research" with near-religious zeal. That's not science.
There's still type checking. Just not _compile time_ type checking. You get such a wonderful feature as things blowing up in your face at runtime just because someone changed something somewhere and did not update all call sites.
Why wait until the election? There's broad based support in favor of it, and it was a travesty that the unelected body like FCC got to decide on this in the first place (I wonder what Obama had in mind when he enacted NN shortly before the end of his presidency). You're a lawmaker, make this a fucking law of the land. 100% guaranteed Trump will sign.
People don't work if they don't have to, news at 11. I mean, this is common sense, no? Easily 9 in 10 people wouldn't lift a finger if they could have shelter, food, and healthcare without lifting a finger. I would, but there's no way I'd work on anything I'm not interested in.
Yes, about 300K per quarter is "millions", for those good with basic arithmetics. That's 2 years after Nobel Prize winning economists wrote off US economy as having no growth prospects beyond 2% a year.
When a barista tries to be a lawmaker, this is what you get. Every single bullshit talking point crammed into one idiotic bill. There's no "wage gap". There's no such thing as "healthy food". There is "healthful food", but not "healthy". Trump is already creating "millions of jobs" and "stopping the transfer of jobs overseas", and "enacting border protections", and there is no way to "provide all people of the United States with [...] housing".
House was expected, happens every time. Senate, on the other hand, was critical, given that Ruth Bader Ginsburg is about to kick the bucket. Only the Senate is needed to confirm her replacement.
I for one can't wait for the "more refined options". There have been some good domestic cheeses appearing. There's no reason Wisconsin couldn't produce cheeses that are easily on par with the famous French varieties for half the price. I'm looking forward to $6/lb Wisconsin "Epoisses".:-)
Just pile it without any metadata. Metadata bikeshedding can take decades. Data mine this finite corpus and put a good search engine to search in it. Then build a concept graph and citation graph to improve ranking. All tractable, if not straightforward, problems.
It only has to do anything with gonads if you're insecure about them in the first place, and compensate by spending more than you need to. I'm quite OK with my iPhone 8, and don't expect that to change in the foreseeable future.

Rubber batons are very effective at stopping reception, when applied forcefully to the kidney area of the back.

Sure, you can include that. But since no money is spent if "nothing is going to happen", the consequences are also null.

LTE is fast enough for 99.9% of use cases.
I "automated" not giving myself diabetes with their product a decade ago.

It's Apple, so you don't get to "plug in" anything, likely including your headphones.
He seems to know how to get shit done for half the budget of the Democrats.

So whatever plastic is currently capturing carbon, can return it right back into the atmosphere.

Like the Bay Area billionaire owners of the Democratic party would allow any of that.
But, I thought "science is settled" and 97% of scientists agree?
How does Improbable make money? Does anyone know? Their website offers no clue.
What are millenials doing working for the government anyway. Private sector is on fire. Go make some money while it's easier to make.
Spot on. I managed to negotiate such a thing as employee #1. Still left on my own volition because things were turning to shit though. :-)

Who the fuck wants to pay for papers. Just plop it onto some all-encompassing variant of ArXiV and let researchers data mine it to hell and back.
