Neither of these claims are true. Miranda rights apply to criminal arrests but immigration arrests are typically civil.

The 6th Amendment guarantees the right to a lawyer during critical stages such as interrogation and court proceedings only, e.g. in California the window in which arraignment is guaranteed is 48 hours (this is where the court will offer defendants the opportunity for a court-appointed lawyer).

Saw some posts asking why and for postmortems. I am not the founder, not in the retail industry but adjacent space to understand enough of why.

1) there are already competitors in this space that have been there for a decade or longer. Higher fees but not significantly so to counter the risk of doing business with a startup.

2) If you use their calculator is a bit disingenuous, starting balance of $1mm. Those clients exist but that’s the minority. If you bring that number down to a more typical average or median for someone with a 30 year horizon you see that the difference is not material compared to their default assumptions.

3) if you are a high net worth individual where tax low harvesting matters, the product does not feel that compelling.

Yes, organisms don't have to be optimal in everything - for instance the peacock's tail is probably a bit detrimental for various things other than signaling.

When there's no environmental pressure, genetics can do whatever it wants (to a certain extent), which leads to a diversification which in turn is very valuable when a constrain suddenly appears in the environment, or to conquer new biomes. This remembered me of the "Cambrian explosion" [1] and coincidentally this article refers to the evolution of the eye.

With regard to green chlorophyll, it is safe to say that a very common environmental pressure is present that makes it green, judging from how dominant it is. I guess that it doesn't apply to species that have red/dark red/purple foliage due to their specific ecosystem niche, or maybe an even greater constrain is at play ?

>Yes. How contemporary? How local? There's a reason we don't study a single person doing something on a random day. It's too contemporary and too local

Says who and with what credentials? And, even more so, based on what deeper arguments than "it's too local/contemporary" that don't mean anything? And based on what locality constraint ("it' can't just be American women"?), and in what exactly mechanisms that can't be generalized from the locality studied?

> This is literally my point. This research isn't about anything in general, which is why it's not interesting. It is a tiny study of a very specific population at a single point in time. It doesn't tell us about anything in general at all.

Doesn't have to be a big study to have statistical significance, and even less so to bring useful insights. In fact, as studies go, this has a quite sizable sample size.

The choice of undegraduates is very common in social science studies, and these two studies also include members of the general population.

This is not a poll on the voting preferences of the population at large, or something like that, and for the subject matter there's no reason to believe that the results don't apply regardless of locality.

There's barely any point examining the app on its merits.

The mere existence of the app shows resistance to the government's attempts at establishing something approaching a police state. They are against the app for that reason. They don't really care about what it does or does not do. It could be an app where you press a button and the phone says "boo ICE" and they'd still happily claim it endangers officers lives.

(the fact that they're also able to attack independent media at the same time just makes it all the more alluring target)

Apologies that my example invited specific consideration. Long hikes are also somewhat "painful" for people that don't do them often. Walking to the bus stop is something I have seen many kids avoid, if they have the option.

That is, I'm not hurting in my joints from running. My pains there will be much more attuned to how hard it is for me to "push" at speeds. That said, pushing at any speed is how I have managed to increases the speeds that I can push.

An hour of work buys far less of a percentage of the value of US companies than it did 20 years ago.

in 1983 a single "share" in the S&P, or a single unit of American business, cost $120, about 13 hours work at the median wage then of about $9/hr.

Today you would have work for about 200 hours at the median wage of $30/hr to buy the same single share ($6200)

Companies have ballooned in value relative to median earnings. And top 10%ile earnings too for that matter.

I was looking forward to seeing 12 neatly stacked & boxed vacuum cleaners in a dimly lit corner of your shed ;-)

That said, thanks for sharing the emails/headers.

It's curious that Amazon hasn't flagged you for purchasing & reviewing multiple similar items in such a short span of time. I would imagine it would be quite easy to spot someone who's bought and reviewed 12 vacuum cleaners in a 2 or 3 year window.

Don Mattrick isn't the reason that so many Microsoft studios have repeatedly shipped poor products or failed to ship at all over the past decade. Don Mattrick isn't the reason reason that Microsoft still seems to have the worst taste-testers in the industry. Don Mattrick isn't the reason that internal studios like 343 have messed up 18/6 requirements. Don Mattrick isn't the reason that Microsoft kept acquiring, messing up and then firing studios, ending with a massive acquisition that can't even pay itself off for over a decade. And above all, Don Mattrick isn't responsible for the relentless drive for a weird fusion of unprofitable subscription service and cloud streaming offerings at the cost of overall game sale profits.

Don Mattrick's mistakes were near-fatal, but Phil Spencer's done more than his equal share of torpedoing the Xbox division. The blame at this point can rest squarely on his shoulders.

Well, him, and the person who refuses to replace him.

In reality all frontier models will likely progress at nearly the same pace making it difficult to disaggregate this team's performance compared to others. More importantly, it'll be nearly impossible to disaggregate any one contributor's performance from the others, making it basically impossible to enforce accountability without many many repetitions to eliminate noise.

> Even in top-tier sports, many underperformers stick around for a couple years or a half-decade at seven or eight figure compensation before being shown the door.

This can happen in the explicit hopes that their performance improves, not because it's unclear whether they are performing, and not generally over lapses in contract.

lmao, I haven't had a single good interaction with cops and I'm not a minority and I most of the interactions I've had were not as a result of me doing crimes, and the ones that were "crimes" were for things like "being in a park shortly after sundown". I have never once had a reason to view them as anything other than shitty powertripping bullies.

> US cops are some of the least corrupt in the world

I don't think that's a good metric to judge them by (I also don't think it's true if you compare to first world countries).

Sure, third world countries have police forces that are more corrupt. But US cops are corrupt in a wide variety of ways and we should be very clear about how unacceptable that is. It doesn't matter if someone somewhere else in the world is worse.

History is filled with people who dug their own graves while a person with a gun pointed at them told them to do it.

It takes an exceptional person to act before their fate is sealed and the majority of passengers, if not all of them, will be in a state of denial or shock at the situation they are in preventing them from action. Others who might want to act, but not having been in the situation before, will think about what to do or when the right moment to act is, and the right moment will never come, especially if the hijackers can guarantee the first person who acts dies.

Using gemini cli, I really need to try out claude code 1 day, and you ask it to make a change and it gives you the diff on what it plans to change.

You can say no, then give it more specific instructions like "keep it more simple" or "you dont need that library to be imported"

You can read the code and ensure you understand what it's doing.

I think this is a clever moat Apple created with Liquid Glass: they picked an effect that is easy to make a worse version of, but very hard to do the real/right way (and humans have an intuition for real/right because they see real glass every day). So any copycats will look worse in a way that's pretty obvious and Apple gets to keep the "premium-looking" product.

ADHD patients seem to be able to exercise just fine (and -importantly- don't seem to be suffering widespread muscle death) when on Adderall and similar.

Then it sounds like Firefox has the "restart page" to mitigate this exact edge case. Better than having undefined behavior like that imo.

As I get it from other comments, this is not a problem with the built-in updater (as on Windows). On linux, when updating via package manager, you should now this can be an issue with any program. Yes, most programs survive running while being updated, but for a complicated piece of software (like a browser) this behavior is understandable.

This reminds me a lot of climate skeptics pointing out that climate researchers stand to make money off books about climate change.

Selling AI doom books nets considerably less money than actually working on AI (easily an order of magnitude or two). Whatever hangups I have with Yudkowsky, I'm very confident he's not doing it for the money (or even prestige; being an AI thought leader at a lab gives you a built-in audience).

It's cloudflare and parasites like them that will make the internet un-free. It's already happening, I'm either blocked or back to 1998 load times be cause of "checking your browser". They are destroying the internet and will make it so only people who do approved things on approved browsers (meaning let advertising companies monetize their online activity) will get real access.

Cloudflare isn't solving a problem, they are just inserting themselves as an intermediary to extract a profit, and making everything worse.

A nice attempt and another layer for the swiss cheese of technology it will take to try and ease the burden AI companies are putting on people trying to run websites.

I'd be cautious about relying on just the good will of Cloudflare.

It's unfortunate that we need honeypots and tarpits to trap AI scrapers just so that our hosting bills don't get hosed. It's taking a good chunk of value out of running a site on the Internet.

The work on your line might "suck" but it is a good paying job with free benefits and requires no college degree, special trade school, or certification.

There are plenty of poorly qualified, undereducated Americans who can fill these low skill jobs.

There is nothing to fix. It is a job. It pays money. Not everyone has the ability to excel in a "career." They simply need a job.

And, no one can compete with China. All companies operating in China, regardless of ownership (state-owned, private, or foreign-owned), are subject to the same political influence. If the government tells a company to do something, the company does it. China also manipulates its currency as a means to drive its predominantly export-oriented economy.
by wonderwonder | 2025-07-02 17:19:53+00:00
While I agree with your overall point, I don't think the current issue with US jobs being outsourced is due to demographics. I think its simply one of cheaper wages. The fact that they are actively laying off US workers proves that there are existing US workers that can and have been doing the job. They are letting them go though so as to boost their bottom line to drive "shareholder value". This is an entirely self inflicted issue separate from the demographics issue that is affecting the west as a whole. We have more than enough qualified people willing to perform the tech jobs that the companies are outsourcing.

Not talking about soreness. Soreness is trivial. I currently have 2 tendons hurting and everybody in my gym who exercise constantly.

But I agree with you, people who don't exercise are more at risk of injury in general.

> > And yet, nobody mentions how supplements can't generally damage you

> And last of all - this is plainly not true...

It's true, its just that pharma wants to sell you drugs. No wonder Pauling called it orthomolecular medicine, claiming that "right" molecules are basically non toxic.

Unless you are a complete retard and take millions IU of vitamin D or you are a special case. There are no reported deaths with supplements in the last 30 years.
by taeric | 2025-07-02 17:20:02+00:00
Ish? I can similarly claim that the most important part of any exercise is showing up. Surprisingly apt for any work. Just showing up is obnoxious in how effective it is.

Similarly, for many nootropic reports, "just doing something" is far more effective than people give credit. Especially if it is a choice to do something. Successfully executing one choice seems to confer some success at executing on the next one. (Note, successful execution does not imply successful outcome...)

I'm convinced this is why people that start their routine with "just make your bed every day" get a surprising amount of success.

All of which is to say that I agree you shouldn't blow yourself out. My push back is that you are probably far less blown out than you think after a workout.

>To me (and to most Europeans!), the economic stuff just doesn't matter as much

Then why did you move to make more money in the US? Why are many young Europeans moving to work abroad?

People who gaslight others for chasing money, are those who already have enough money and can't empathize with those wo do not.

>I had excellent cheap pasta on a beautiful plaza in Italy yesterday, I got there via 30 euro Ryanair flight

Cherry picking personal holiday travels isn't representative of anything in this topic. Also 30 Euro flights are not the norm everywhere. You need to live in the right country/city and get lucky.

It isn’t that simple because your profit upside is usually finite. Say you run a lemonade stand in a small town. Number of employees can’t really exceed some threshold set by the amount of lemonade customers a given day in that town. Even if the employee is the profit producer. It isn’t an infinite money machine and money has to be made available to seek.

>"who will hold them accountable

Politicians looking to score brownie points with either the public or the state itself.

So basically you're SOL if you're not a more equal animal or connected to them (Skip Gates), a public persona (Whistlin Diesel), attractive woman (Karen Read, though you can argue that nobody has held the cops accountable on this one, yet) or highly sympathetic individual.

There is some argument to be made that the truth comes out eventually in these sorts of matters but that's not gonna make Breonna Taylor any less dead or the Phonesavanh's kid from being any less disabled.

I think the Floyd factor also prevents cops who are alone or in a pair from escalating stuff unnecessarily as much as they used to which is where a lot of these abuses historically come from.

You’re quoting a community contributor and this is not a firm stance held by MS themselves. He should probably not have posted that because it’s misleading. They even have a tag to triage these kinds of issues.

There is similar issue with AWS. AWS provides a "ReadOnlyAccess" managed policy that has additional privileges that you probably don't want folks to have (e.g. can read S3 bucket content, not just see bucket names/key names). They recognized this and created a more limited "ViewOnlyAccess" that doesn't have access to content.

There's another common fix, which is to apply a permission boundary to IAM roles. This allows the use of generic policies like "ReadOnlyAccess" but can then be further downscoped to resources by tag (or other similar ABAC schemes)

> What pisses me off the most about Azure is now they designed it as the 90's view of what a cloud provider is. With Azure you don't just provision a VM or God forbid a web service. No no no. You need to provision an app service plan first

What's funny is you're completely backwards here. Microsoft has a much more modern view of the cloud than AWS where everything is a thin veneer over EC2. Azure started as PaaS first and AWS started as IaaS first and that fingerprint is still all over their products. Building everything in a VM is the most expensive and naive way to adopt the cloud. It's the main reason why complexity and costs blow up. You're building in the cloud wrong and somehow seemed to have missed that a consumption based Function app is the default option and doesn't require an App Service Plan.

> "As a dev I look at this as the worst, most historically atrocious user experience in the history of human civilization"

Another contender: during the fire and sinking of the steamship General Slocum carrying people on a family picnic in New York, 1904, people reached for the fire hoses which were cheap and rotten and useless. The lifeboats were inaccessible. The life jackets unmaintained for a decade and had rotted to cork dust and the inspection records had been falsified. Imagine with no fire extinguishing, no lifeboats, you grab a remaining life preserver and put it on your kid and throw them overboard only to watch them sink to their death because the life preserver manufacturing company had put iron bars in them instead of cork floats because that was cheaper.

957 people died in the whole disaster. The headlines are here:

Can someone explain what's groundbreaking about this? Maybe it's not done so very rigorously, but pretty much every plasma physics textbook will contain a derivation of Boltzmann equation, including some form of collisional operator, starting from Liouville's theorem[1] and then derive a system of fluid equations [2] by computing the moments of Boltzmann equation.
