  • The "what percentage do you think" vs "what percentage are" would be much better either as a scatterplot with a y=x line, or as a ratio (think/are) vs actual percent

    Here's a rough plot of the second thing. There's a number of issues with it but I think it more clearly conveys the crucial information

    The first plot might arguably be better but you couldn't really see the way the ratio of overestimation decreased with more immigration as clearly as this one.

    edit: Damn that came out way smaller than I expected. It's readable if you zoom in

  • I'm fine with this. "We can't succeed without breaking the law" isn't much of an argument.

    Do I think the current copyright laws around the world are fine? No, far from it.

    But why do they merit an exception to the rules that will make them billions, but the rest of us can be prosecuted in severe and dramatic fashion for much less. Try letting the RIAA know you have a song you've downloaded on your PC that you didn't pay for - tell them it's for "research and training purposes", just like AI uses stuff it didn't pay for - and see what I mean by severe and dramatic.

    It should not be one rule for the rich guys to get even richer and the rest of us can eat dirt.

    Figure out how to fix the laws in a way that they're fair for everyone, including figuring out a way to compensate the people whose IP you've been stealing.

    Until then, deal with the same legal landscape as everyone else. Boo hoo

  • The very very few things I care to watch any more (and those almost entirely SBS and ABC) I can watch online. The other channels put together would be lucky to show anything I care about a few times a year. If they won't stream it online I just don't bother. If they won't put on any stuff I care to watch, that's their problem. My TV isn't even plugged into an aerial any more, it's only there to maybe use with the old games machines or maybe watch an old DVD
