He didn't use that momentum to make a real impact. Now the democrats look as clueless as they looked in 2016. They still don't have a real value proposition other than not being Trump. They can't just stay being the party for the upper middle class without appealing to blue collar workers. Say what you want about Obama but at least he had a message.
Maybe Sanders never aspired to be a national leader and that should be respected but it's still disappointing.
> He didn't use that momentum to make a real impact.
Sanders has used his platform to continue to advocate for Medicare For All, for a $15/hr minimum wage (a concession he was able to get for Disneyland employees), for renewable energy, for justice reform, for immigration reform. What else would you suggest he do? He has been more positively impactful than any politician currently in office except perhaps Senator Warren.
> Now the democrats look as clueless as they looked in 2016. They still don't have a real value proposition other than not being Trump.
Medicare For All, a $15 hour minimum wage, fully funded public schools and universities, justice reform, immigration reform, paid family and sick leave (not an exhaustive list) is not a value proposition?
Democrats clueless? Progressive candidates continue to win in elections at every level. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is crushing it. As long as the Clintons, Biden, and other moderates keep to themselves, we'll be fine.
Sure, but the signs are positive [1] [2] [3]. A government shutdown [4], more Trump tweets [5], a Kavanaugh confirmation [6], still lots of foot guns for Republicans between now and November.
Nothing except cost. If employees cost more than developing and implementing AI, then they will do it.
In preparation for the move to a totally AI driven customer interface (which WILL happen, barring any large scale disaster), legislators needs to implement some solution to keep currency flowing to the people.
If everything except highly skilled professions are automated, there will be a hell of a lot unemployment. Off the top of my head, one potential solution I've heard is that companies should pay wages to robots and those wages will be paid as tax to the government who would redistribute the wealth as universal basic income.
We're surely decades or more from near total automation, but it's worth thinking about as a serious matter as we are living in the robot revolution.
Do you mean workers working 20 hours a weeks total or 20 hours a week at a particular employer?
There are plenty of individuals who work multiple jobs, still get only 30-some hours, and still collect public assistance. Seems like a needless clause.
Who pays the fine if you work 3 jobs 15 hours a week each? If they are all large employers — all 3 of them?
Remember this doesn’t change anything about what the employee is paid, it’s a fine for paying an employee too little to be self sufficient. I’m not sure that makes sense if someone is only working for you one day a week, for example.
CS pays. Luckily it's also mildly interesting and sometimes very interesting. I don't love my job, but I work for a company that does good things and pays me pretty well.
None of my goals have ANYTHING to do with my career and most of them have EVERYTHING to do with motorcycles and offroad racing.
Software engineering funds my (very amateur) racing "career".
Loving your job such that you want to wake up every day and commit yourself to it is a fantasy for almost everyone and a reality for the few. Some people even on my team love what we do and think it's the coolest shit. For me, I'm happy here because it allows me the freedom to do the things in my life that are actually important to me.
I can only speak for myself here, but I never found being "PC" to be incongruent with how I normally treat people. Never in my every day interactions have I considered whether or not what I do or say is PC.
Treating people with respect without expecting anything in return gets you far.
This wouldn't make much of an impact because the statistical distribution of music listening time has an extremely long tail, i.e. the most popular songs are far more popular than even other very popular songs. In a given market, something like 90% of listening time will come from the top few hundred tracks, and 99% will come from the first couple thousand. Those top couple thousands tracks are already well-served by alternative distribution channels (youtube, "indie" labels, etc), so there isn't much room for disruption there. Starting a service to fight for that 1% of listening time will not move the needle.

Some tuna actually is red, though. For example, yellow fin tuna. Caught one last month and when I got home my brother and I made sashimi... Meaning that we cut it into slices and ate it. It was so, so good. I still like it after it's been frozen, but it's no longer good for sashimi.
In terms of Dota, I don't think it's that impressive, but it is still cool. I'll be impressed when I see a 5v5 with bots that adapt to the opponents' strategy. I do think that it currently could be an excellent tool for mid-laners and cores to practice. OpenAI is also blowing the door open to Dota AI development and we will soon see bot tournaments. Engineers will develop AI and put them against one another in standard 5v5 matches with a pick/ban phase and all.
In terms of AI, I don't /think/ there's anything groundbreaking here. Correct me if I'm wrong, as I don't follow AI research, but this technology is nothing we haven't already seen. I believe the development of AI for Dota is a publicity move to get people excited about what AI could be for humanity. This might be the way to introduce AI to non-technologists and get people excited about it.
> This might be the way to introduce AI to non-technologists and get people excited about it.
Yeah, I'm almost positive that this exhibition is intended mostly to raise awareness and create this hype. Go and Chess, for most people, are simple games compared to Dota2, so if Elon is worried about AI and want people to be more aware of the threat he perceives it certainly helps to make this big show and get all those impressions with a game that is considered by the majority of people (especially younger) to be more complex/harder than what has been done before.
I hate when people say that during a discussion or argument.
