That's not the same, though, because it is not mandatory to obtain a passport (at least not for everyone—you may need one if you want to travel abroad, but this is viewed by the government as a non-essential privilege and not a right). Broadly speaking, in the US, a "fee" is something you pay in order to receive some form of optional service, such as the issuing of a passport, and a "fine" is something you are ordered to pay as a penalty for breaking the law. Everything else—any payment required of a law-abiding citizen either for simply existing or as a condition for carrying out law-abiding actions (e.g. owning property, earning income)—is a tax.

Of course, sometimes fees and fines can be seen as "stealth taxes" when they intrude too far into everyday life, particularly when state monopolies are involved. For example, the cost of First Class postage with USPS is technically a fee for an optional service, but the USPS monopoly on First Class letter delivery makes it at least partly a tax, to the extent that another carrier might have provided the same service for a lower price in the absence of the monopoly.
I wish it was just a soul sucking corporate job. At least you get paid more than 33 cents an hour for doing those jobs. but alas, no this was actual prison, and nothing so luxurious as Bernie Madoff's Camp Fluffy. This was prison prison in Michigan City, Indiana (and the last 6 months I was transferred to Pendelton, IN). I was down for 3 years of a 6 year sentence for 2 charges: Conspiracy to Distribute or Manufacture, and Trafficking in a Controlled Substance. This was before they switched from a 'Class A-B-C-D' felony classification system to a 'Level 1-2-3-4' system, so my 2 charges were a Class C and a Class B (effectively a Level 3 and a Level 2 nowadays). TLDR; I was a drug dealer. For a long time. I was extremely good at it. I sold all of them, but the ones I ended up being charged with were Heroin (at least 10 grams, which bumped it up from a C to a B class) and 80mg OxyContins ("green hornets").

Incidentally, at the time, the laws were such that if my house had been located 200 feet closer to a school than it was, I would most likely still be in prison. I got lucky there, the laws were "within 1000 feet of a school" and my house was somewhere between 1100-1200, and even though I absolutely NEVER sold anything out of my house it would not have mattered. The prosecutor went so far as to send surveyors to my property and dig up the blueprints of my house from City Hall and measure out the property lines and distances. I think I saw steam shoot out of that lady's ears when my lawyer read the surveyor's report in court. She was pissed.
With a live stream, it's generally not parallelizable at all. You won't have future frames to work with unless you add a huge delay in the stream, which generally doesn't mesh well with doing something live.

I think there will be at least a minimum of focus on safety and value alignment.

They may have to focus on safety and aligning it to the companies values (else test/weak versions are likely to destroy/negatively impact the company or at least be useless). Which is at least something.

Only hyperrational/intelligent value unaligned intelligent systems would avoid this pressure. I don't see the development going that way.

It would still be sub optimal though.

It’s the dose that makes the poison.
Two things:
(1) it's hard to get a warrant. This is a search warrant for the President's personal lawyer's office and covers privileged communications (obviously under the crime-fraud exception). The federal judge that signed this must have been shown some very serious evidence of a crime.

(2) Since SDNY executed this warrant, it (a) had to be approved by the Assistant Attorney General of the criminal division (department policy for searching lawyers' offices), and indicates that a second criminal investigation of the Trump admin is active.

So, big big deal.

I used to live in a town that was much more bikeable, and easier to own a bike in (more space in my house to store it). I was a super-regular bike commuter, but now I just want it sometimes when something is over 2 miles away but less than 10. I think this is pretty common for a lot of people living in cities, and bike shares are a godsend.

Another thing not mentioned is how nice it is for people who are from out of town, either as tourists or nomads or in for work. I lived/worked in Taipei for a month, and bike share is part of the government transit program, first 30 minutes free, and you can access it with your subway transit card. This singlehandedly made me love the city.

I had actually forgotten I still own a personal bike until writing this reply.

> I don't think the patriarchy/power theory is a particularly good one. [....] Theories of patriarchy don't predict this anywhere at any time, much less in almost every human society that has ever existed on the planet.

that's gonna need some backup as you're going up against the likes of foucault and nietzsche on this one. besides, what happens at the bottom of the hierarchy is a non sequitur here. you can't just claim that power theory is wrong because not all men are at the top. that's an odd stipulation to impose.

> ...men are expendable and women are crucial...

this is also an odd statement. both men and women are crucial to species survival.

that's actually the crux of my argument: both men and women do valuable work, but the power dynamic has disporportionately placed value on "manly" work and less so on "womanly" work. what do you think incentivized women to enter the workforce in the first place?
Well part of a problem with biking is that you need a place to secure a bicycle. Many places in America do not have this; not everyone is carrying a lock and often there's nothing to lock to. No one wants to ride a mode of transportation that is impossible to secure and is going to get stolen by the time they need to make the return trip. Bike share is good in that it removes that particular obstacle.
> Interesting bit of trivia: SolveSpace comes from M-Labs

I developed SolveSpace, and whitequark (via M-Labs) is the current maintainer. He's responsible for all the non-Windows ports, plus the last few years of features and some significant refactoring. We hope the latter will make the codebase more accessible to other contributors.

SolveSpace's NURBS operations are worse than OpenCASCADE's, but they're literally orders of magnitude smaller. There's still no great free alternative to Parasolid, SOLIDS++, etc. SolveSpace's constraint solver is pretty good, and people seem to mostly like the UI.

Maybe a good idea for a future add-on to this product: sell a stand-alone hub (something like a Raspberry Pi) that could replace the need for an iOS or MacOS device. You could still use an iOS (or Android) app to configure the hub.

It actually is.

It may very well be that either: these people think they have a legitimate need for the antibiotic or it is helping for a narrow portion of population.

The problem is, people without medical background cannot really evaluate if a treatment recommended by random blog is worth it, in terms of possible risk-reward. This can lead to all sorts of social phenomena, of which the most visible is anti-vaccination movement.
I don't think this is true. It's not totally clear but GDPR seems to require people to be in the union. I believe that residency is the main requirement, not citizenship (a German person living in the US dealing with a US-only company is not covered).
In a conversation pointing to actual benefits from a socialistic system, your response is to say they are all bad and you oppose them anyway? How is that not just a dogmatic response, instead of a viewpoint backed up by reason?
Some people have different tastes. I know a lot of people who drive a Honda because it's easy for them to repair on their own, and parts are cheap. I know others who drive a BMW even though it's difficult and expensive to repair, because they would never repair it themselves so it doesn't matter. They value the experience of driving "the ultimate driving machine" even if it costs more and is harder to repair.

Some people prefer open platforms that they can customize and tinker with. Some people prefer closed platforms where the defaults are good enough and you never have to open the hood. Neither of those preferences are more wrong than the other one. It's just a preference.

I thought that with Golang and the popularity of static linking for apps in Docker containers that this was now considered acceptable again (tongue firmly in cheek).
WSL will be fantastic when software catches up to it or makes an allowance for its existence. It's nothing you can't hack around manually, but it can still be troublesome to treat WSL as a totally transparent layer. For example, you'll probably deal with some frustrating git checkouts if you clone from windows but interchangeably do work from Windows-land and Linux-land. Windows natively supporting LF and allowing Linux binaries to be transparently called would wipe away most of those issues (I think you can still only call windows binaries from Linux and not vice versa), and then you just need some windows installers that can enable WSL instead of packaging Cygwin or MSYS2.

That being said, the existence of WSL at all is fantastic and it's a much nicer experience than booting up a VM or setting your dev environment up in the cloud. I'm still not sure if my next machine will be a MacBook again because of it.

I agree with you wholeheartedly (as a fellow full-stack dev) but I think that much of what constitutes modern "design" places too much emphasis on expectations management and user feelings. There seem to be few that are truly concerned with usability metrics and too many concerned about aesthetics or optimizing for business objectives.

Sometimes the best user experience does not look the prettiest, and even more often does it fail to line up with business requirements. Both of those concerns need to be de-prioritized.

Next gen AWL/Endpoint solutions offer a simple and true default deny approach. Either an app (executable, script, dll) is trusted or it isn't. If it is not trusted it can't run - period. 100% successful at preventing zero day attacks and Shattered attacks and even malware that isn't written yet...

Trusted apps are cyber fingerprinted using 6 hashes - in order to use a Shattered like attack all 6, including file length would need to be simultaneously crashed.

No rules are required, no scanning is needed, instant protection on installation and can be managed/administered by non-technical staff. Can use an out of the box trust list with over 1000 apps already fingerprinted or build own trust list.

Can be deployed using standard tools and is scalable to global enterprise.
How much does it cost to hire an FBA employee(s)?

This one is well known and profusely commented, I'm sure you can google it: Marx considered industrial workers the ones with more class awareness and predicted that Socialism will ignite in the UK first.

On the contrary, it succeeded in big old agrarian countries like Russia and China.

Also predicted that worker class solidarity will make for an idilic proletary dictatorship, no need for democratic checks and balances that only decadent burgeois countries need.

Then came Lenin, Stalin, Mao...

You keeping data in mind has no bearing on whether or not data leaks are outlandish. You don't seem to understand what the word means, tbh.

No, I directly implied that your real or feigned surprise at this happening makes it look like you don't understand the industry. If you're familiar with the industry it shouldn't be a surprise that this happens.

Their point was it isn't accurate to apply a single label to the entire USA not that the single label should be changed.
People post fewer photos, but that shouldn't be confused with having less of an influence on social culture.

Now each post carries much more weight, and therefor is more heavily curated to show that person's perfect life.

It goes further than that though. I know people who wait for a specific hour on Sunday to post their weekly photo because they know that most people check their instagram then and therefor will get them the most likes.

In fact people are going on more adventures and trying more restaurants, which we can argue is a net positive, but it really taints the experience and makes it hard for me to support when so much of the motivation for doing so revolves around taking that perfect picture to share on instagram.

I try not to be a counter-culture cynical critic, but dang.

The "evolution of technology" requires dollars. Gobs of them. R&D thus must have a monetization model. The monetization model used by AV1 didn't exist until relatively recently, but MPEG's patent-based monetization model worked just fine for two decades before that.

For decades, companies like Sony, Sharp, NTT, etc., bankrolled that R&D by licensing patents to the technology, and selling devices incorporating the technology.

Today, the Internet enables new monetization models. Companies like Apple and Google can directly monetize video content through iTunes and Google Play (or indirectly through Youtube). They can use that to bankroll their investment in new video codecs.
There is word filter feature, but the UX is a bit clunky and you cant subscribe / paste a big list of words you would like to filter.

A future feature I would like to see in social networks is automatically generating tags for posts and letting people filter out the posts based on that.

With that, I can just choose an automatically generated US politics filter for example and not have to maintain a mute list.
>Lastly, a transaction is either voluntary or it is not. There are no degrees of 'voluntary' if you use the word in the conventional sense.

If that were true there would be no such thing as coercion. There would be 'forced to do it' or 'not forced to do it' not more subtle levels where varying levels of unpleasant pressure is brought to bear.
But all things being equal, generally I'd say that software that allows you tinker is probably better. The fact that the freedom exists doesn't mean you have to take advantage of it, but it's nice that it's there.
I agree that the killer feature is still missing. That could maybe be storage-management (NAS) or HTPC (Kodi). People seem to buy such devices.

On the other hand there are nice features already: VPN Server, Seedbox, Ad-blocking-proxy

Thanks for the pointer! Dat looks very powerful. I will study more.
The content of the data is not the issue. The point is that society has decided to pass a law stating that certain data needs to be treated a certain way or there are serious penalties because of past abuses. We in the US take for granted that this law exists, but there was much complaining in the medical establishment about how burdensome it is to them conducting their work because of all the extra protections it required. This was especially true in biomedical research where patient data was pretty carelessly treated in many cases. Not because the people involved were bad people, but because society as a whole had not thought through the consequences of walking around with an unencrypted list of cancer patients on a floppy disk.
When it comes to the traditional problems of poverty such as malnourishment, freezing in the winter, lack of cloths or shoes, and so on, many countries have done quite well. Even fairly poor countries have had success there.

The complaints coming out of the US are more about inequality than poverty, although people confuse the two issues (sometimes intentionally).

Not to mention that we have the former president Nicolas Sarkozy on trial for corruption right now. He just took a few millions from Muammar Gaddafi to finance his 2008 campaign.

And there were a slew of big international military contracts in the 80ies/90ies which were subverted to finance political campaigns (Taiwanese frigates, Agosta contract with Pakistan).

These scandals tend to be judged long after the facts (10 to 20 years), and the verdict is generally underwhelming to say the least.
I don't think you should assume your position is the only valid one.

I don't, that's why I said "very unclear" (to me). If something is "clear" to you about AGI, then it seems like it's you who makes that assumption.
Does this actually help that much, though? I imagine many of the important patentable improvements end up being obsolete by the time the patents expire.

Like many binary categorizations, this doesn't really work well in the real world, though it's analytically convenient.
