Wonderful news! Finally, someone standing up to Assad and Putin!

Except for the fact that the move indicates nothing less than complete and utter chaos in his stance vis-a-vis Russia. And that it remains to be seen how Putin will decide to "stand up" for his symbolic ally in response.

Well you obviously can't fully reverse engineer, since whatever model update being sent is far far smaller than the overall data. Now, could you theoretically extract "some" data? Maybe, but it still is strictly better than sending all of the data.

I'm still uncomfortable with the use of terms like 'assault' for protected speech, because I've seen people use equivocation between speech and assault to shut down free speech.

Just about every President has launched punitive strikes against targets for bad behavior.

But usually they think about the long-term strategic consequences of doing so, before acting. For like at least 5 minutes or so.

>because you mocked the President.

That's not true. The us government is asking for the account holders identities (no shut down request) because the government suspects that the account owners are civilians (or possibly foreign actors) posing as federal employees. The account derives it's authority by saying that it is run by employees of a federal agency. It's a serious federal crime to impersonate a federal employee. The government has not asked to shut down the account.

I suspect the government will make a decision after they know the identities, but there is just enough evidence to assume the account holder is faking their authority as there is to believe its real.
they're making the cars look like aliens

Perhaps a return of 1950s styling?

Well I expect the Doomsday clock will be getting an update soon.

I'm still not convinced that the Chemical Weapons where from Assad or the Russians attack and the probability of them actually being in a weapons store the rebels held, to me seems if not equally probable. Mostly from the aspect that Chemical Weapons in the form of landmine dispersol have been used by ISIS in Iraq. Now the aspect that such types of weapons as a Chemical Weapon dispersal is not one we know that well. So an airstrike upon a weapons depot that had such landmines, could most likely cause the mines to release the chemical weapon. Many experts have said that an airstrike upon a chemical weapon store would destroy the chemical weapons. But we are talking about mines as storage. A factor that may well be overlooked or a large unknown in how they react to airstrikes.

What we will know eventually is if they fingerprint the chemical weapon in this Syrian event and compare to that used by ISIS in Iraq then if they are the same.

So given how Russia and indeed Assad reacts will prove most telling. I also believe Assad would be totally foolish to use Chemical Weapons, more so with Russian support and no need to use them. This and already gave them up, via Russia and again. There was no need for them and they would know the response if they did, and I don't believe even Russia or Assad would be that silly.

So from that perspective, Trump just updated the Doomsday clock.
This is literally non-stochastic gradient descent where the batch update simply comes from a single node and a correlated set of examples. Nothing mind-blowing about it.

> That's certainly an interesting take. In all of my dealings with small banks, it was always easy to get an EVP on the phone to sort out problems. That's now virtually impossible dealing with large banks. Frequently I find that even people whose titles indicate they should have power to solve small problems frequently don't. They need to get committee approvals for anything that isn't already governed by their procedure manual. As with any organization, as banks get bigger and bigger, they have less ability to self-regulate and quickly fix mistakes.

The EVP (or at least someone with that title) basically told me their records were correct and to pound sand. It was escalated pretty quickly when I made it clear I had a full record of my previous contacts with the bank (including a bank employee agreeing in writing I had cancelled the application) and the dollar amount was large enough I was not going to let it go.

> BTW, it's not that anyone who has problems with things like the CFPB is necessarily ANTI-REGULATION. It's just hard to grasp how much regulation exists if you're not involved in this industry. And you need to consider the consequences of this kind of regulation. You can't complain that banks are too big to fail if you're simultaneously implementing regulation (even with the best of intentions) that is directly driving banks to get bigger and bigger.

Honestly, I'd rather have _well regulated banks_ than no big banks. I don't care if some bank has 15% of the market. I care that there are at least enough competitors (10+) in the market for it to be a competitive market.

But yeah, from my perspective the CFPB is really just a separate arbitration process that keeps people from having to go to court to dispute issues + some post-2008-meltdown regulations. Sure, some problem are excessive but 90% of them likely are not.
I think Putin had a lot to do with Trump getting into office (we know he had Republican National Convention e-mails too, and didn't leak them), so it's a very pleasant surprise to see Trump standing up to Putin in spite of that.

And see that Politico article linked to elsewhere in this thread: Putin responded to the missile strikes by suddenly discovering that he, too, had a problem with his ally using chemical weapons! He certainly didn't say that in 2013!
But that is exactly what is needed. JavaScript is essentially a becoming a ~native~ language (like C, C++, Java) which is used to implement all kinds of abstractions.

Think of C++ for example. It's used to implement frameworks like JUCE, used for high-level application logic and UIs, but underneath that there are a lot of optimised abstractions. Some of these abstractions can only be so good or so deep until the language they are implemented in can get closer to the "metal" (or in this instance, VM).

I for one welcome these new additions to the ECMAscript spec.

Why not both? It hasn't to be an either/or type of thing.
Maybe I don't have a full understanding- but economywide, the amount of debt and savings has to be equal, right?

So if the debt of these large companies has increased, who is doing the extra savings (and loaning the money to these companies)?

And if interest rates double, we will likely see these companies unwind some of their debt positions. What will be the effects of that?

Where are you from? Have you answered the following questions?

a) What is my foreign affiliate reporting requirements?
For a Canadian, you must file a T1134 annually. The T1134 for a controlled foreign affiliate (where you exercise control) is very onerous. It is not that bad for a non-controlled foreign affiliate.

b) What is my foreign affiliate taxation requirements, in that foreign jurisdiction?
This is an answer that must come from Atlas I guess. But for a foreigner owning a US LLC, where the US LLC will be controlled from a country with which the US has a tax treaty, we get into many complexities.

c) Will I have an income pickup from active business income from owning a foreign affiliate?
For Canada, this is a "no."

d) Will I have an income pickup from passive income earned in a foreign affiliate?
For Canada, this is a "yes." Canadians should never earn rental income, royalty income, or other such passive income in a US LLC, for example.

e) How will I deal with the "place of central management and control?" Many countries deem a corporation to be resident in that country if you habitually exercise management and control from that country. For example, a Canadian that owns a US LLC will result in the following:

- US LLC is a tax resident of the US by virtue of incorporation, and must file a tax return to report earnings from the USA (no flow through). As the LLC will be a resident of Canada as well (see below), branch profits tax of 30% may apply (IRS 884).

- US LLC is a tax resident of Canada by virtue of being controlled, "mind and management," from Canada by a Canadian, and must therefore file a Canadian corporate tax return.

The situation is different for Canadians owning "C" corporations. However, it brings its own complexities and nuances. The reporting requirements are challenging.

For those seeking to own a foreign company, research your own reporting and disclosure requirements carefully.
Different varieties of apple have different production costs, and those costs change over time, sometimes rapidly an unexpectedly.

Maybe I prefer Fuji apples, but only slightly; I'd be perfectly okay with a Nashi pear too, or if there's a shortage of Fuji apples, a Royal Gala.

Maybe a frost has reduced Fuji apple production; it would make sense for Fuji apples to be allocated first to the people who really prefer them, and then if any are left over they could come to people like me.

> If you want one brand of apples over the other, one brand's products_distributed variable increases by one.

Right, so how do you capture my "sure, a Fuji apple, but only if there's plenty"?

In a price system, it's easy: The price of Fuji apples fluctuates based on supply and demand, and I'll purchase the fruit based both on my internal, ever-changing preferences and the price. Regardless of the changing relative scarcity of Fuji apples, I will, apparently magically, end up with the fruit that more efficiently matches my wants and needs with the global fruit supply.

And this works even if you scale it up to 7 billion people and millions of products. That's a very difficult trick to match!

(And keep in mind, we also need to make decisions about distribution, stock levels, what apple types to grow, how much land to allocate to orchards, how much fertilizer to use, where to locate orchards to maximise growing season but minimise fuel usage for transportation. Every resource we have is limited in some fashion, often sharply so, yet our wants and needs are effectively boundless.)
Two things are are wrong with your statement:

1.) The government has made no request to impede upon the speech of the account owner, nor has the gov asked to shut it down the account. The gov asked for the account holder identity because they suspect (with reason) that someone is impersonating a federal agent through the account.

2.) Twitter invoked "free speech" to deny a reasonable request from the government. Right or not, I am mocking Twitter for acting like "champion of free speech" on one hand and then shutting down what they deem as "hate speech" (which the ACLU explicitly protects as free speech) on the other hand. Twitter can reinstate Milo's account at any time, yet they don't.

3.) We have just as much evidence to believe that the account holder is a fake federal employee as we do to believe they are real.

Being able to put yourself on the driver shoes will help you see the scandal.

Suppose we are starting a freelancing company together, the agreement is that you will get 50% of every contract, I will get the other half. What I won't tell you is that I control the contracts we get to sign and I can adjust the contracts as I wish (we never agreed on that, I just do).

This month we closed a deal, we will be incubated in a company for 2 months, 40 hours a week, the contract I signed was for 240$/hour for each one of us, totalling 150,000 $. The contract I show you shows a total of 80,000 $.

How would you feel when you discovered that you should have made 75k on this deal instead of 40k?

Yes and no.

Only Congress has the power to declare war. That's the actual check and balance. But if I understand correctly, in a situation like this[1], the President has authority to authorize military force. He just can't continue to use it for more than 90 days (in the same situation) without congressional approval[2].

But no, Republicans in Congress are not going to magically force Trump to un-fire the missiles. Nor are they going to impeach him over this. (If he violates the 90 day limit, it is somewhat more likely that there will be some kind of action, but still far from certain.)

[1] For some value of "like this" - a situation where, in the President's judgment, military action is urgently needed, where it can't wait for days or weeks while Congress debates and goes through all the procedural motions.

[2] The 90 day limit is there because the Vietnam War came out of a situation like this - a presidentially-authorized use of force that never was a declared war, that turned into nearly a decade of US involvement and 55,000 US dead.
> Maybe I don't have a full understanding- but economywide, the amount of debt and savings has to be equal, right?

Only if you assume the total amount of currency in the system is fixed. If some of it gets destroyed (cash burned in fire) then you can easily have debt grow more than savings because the destruction of the currency doesn't destroy the debt.

This also assumes that the debt has the same growth (interest) as the savings (also interest). If the debt has higher interest on it and isn't defaulted on, then the debt can also easily grow to above the level of savings.

Now that happening does mean that the debt can't be paid off with savings as it is now, so you need to be able to generate enough value/profit/product to be able to keep paying the principle down and even though the savings isn't enough to wipe it out the debt still isn't necessarily uncontrollable. That said there's got to be a tipping point where you can no longer keep that up and there will eventually be no choice but to default on that debt and then all kinds of hell breaks loose because that hasn't happened very often in modern economies so nobody really knows how to handle it.
No man it's fine. They target the money not you and money doesn't have rights. /cry /sarcasm
I'm still a bit confused about libertarianism. Is this argument libertarian? It feels like it is because you're arguing in favor of allowing people to do as they please (freedom of speech) so long as it doesn't cause clear hurt to others (like yelling "fire" and giving someone a heart attack). You're arguing for the govt to get out of our way, and for private entities to fill in gaps, without restrictions. But if what you want is this unrestricted freedom, then shouldn't you be happy about Twitter? After all, by removing Milo, Twitter exercised the very freedom you seem to advocate for. They are a private entity, doing as they please. Why should Twitter be forced to store Milo's data on their servers and serve it up to users if Twitter, a private entity, chooses not to?

I understand libertarianism in many social contexts (e.g. "People who aren't straight are not hurting anyone by not being straight, so there should not be any draconian laws against people for not being straight"), but I can't wrap my head around libertarianism in the context of all these "free-speech" arguments. I feel like I'm missing something, which would make a lot of sense considering how little I have read about libertarianism

Twitter can reinstate Milo's account at anytime, yet they haven't.
