A Job's Guarantee is a real movement, and a reasonable idea for this reason. Not having a job puts you in a lower social caste - might as well have them doing SOMETHING. Even if it's not especially productive, the small positive affect is better than nothing.
When the choice is to commit crimes or live in hellish poverty, the choice becomes easier. Going to prison just means you get free food and board for a while. Sure, it's awful. But your only shot getting a better life is crime....
Thanks for this, I'll have to take a look at FastText. I've been using word2vec before turning it into a matrix and running it through a CNN. I based it off of Yoon Kim's[0] work. I haven't had much luck though on my 92-class problem. Maybe Fast Text will work better, although I think there are a lot of improvements my model can have still.
> This leads to a ton of actual problems too: You get a person really really good at coding / execution but shit in big picture thinking / broad system design choices / cross team work etc. spend a bunch of time in a level. Now you have to either promote him into a spot where s/he will fail OR lose em to attrition. Either choice tends to break.
I hate this issue, and see it occur in so many companies. Why are we so opposed to simply paying more/increasing benefits of people at the same level? Why can't an "regular" Engineer just get a large raise for being an amazing Engineer, because that's what you need! Instead, they need to be come a "Senior" Engineer who also has some kind of other management-type job that they suck at.
Wages aren't going up because there is nothing forcing them to go up. The upper class just takes their rents and insists paying more wages would tank the economy.
Participation is going down because there's little reason to seek employment if you know the employer is just attempting to shaft you. You produce $40/hr, but they'll pay you $8/hr. You can't negotiate, they'll just find someone who is desperate.
If it wasn't an automated system, they would have the cost of someone going through everything.
Do you really doubt that this is constantly happening and people are paying? Just look at the people who get DMCA'd for content they made themselves. Same system, just instead of paying a fee they lose their youtube/Twitch.
I guess it depends on what you mean by "become a developer".
I think a lot of the increased difficulty is the skill of developers. At one point, knowing how to edit HTML would get you an interview. Now, I feel like I might need a successful Python library so I can get an interview...
Not sure if it's a bad thing or not, since the art is just becoming better.
PACs still cannot accept foreign money, though obviously it is easy to launder. NY real estate companies are a popular money laundering method for this kind of stuff.
So far everything that has come out has disproved all of the claims in the memo, including the memo itself!
And of course your comment won't get anywhere, you just made up a bunch of nonsense. For example, I read the text messages. I didn't know that a calendar of Putin is now Obama's conspiracy to destroy Trump. Those scoundrels!
As far as the Clinton/DNC leaks go, there was actually nothing damaging in them. Yet somehow it got spun up into a giant conspiracy that they had evidence didn't exist, thanks to the leak!
Not like default thermostats are free either, and a lot of them have mind-blowingly bad UX. "Just hold down these 4 buttons at once while hitting these two up arrows to adjust the time!"
