You said:

> Being underground means it has less visibility to the mainstream and is thus less likely to influence people.

But you have this backwards, the point of being pushed into the mainstream is to create crises by which to attack these platforms/sites.

They weren't made mainstream by the underground, they were made mainstream by news orgs looking to attack any venue or message their political opponents have as racist/murderous/etc.

They won't be driven underground to not influence people because the point is to make them boogie men for political points. This shooter used 8chan, therefore. He also used twitter and facebook and whatever else, but that isn't good for attacking people on their politics using the bodies of dead innocent people.

These communities were already underground and the news orgs didn't like it. Now there's a spotlight on them and you don't like it. The idea is to create an untenable position for those sites.
Thank you!

So really that's not much at all. Impressive. So I'm guessing that there's a strap/pouch for the pump, right? Are the CGM and injection port adhesive?

And for sure, you're a cyborg now ;) With a body area network (BAN). And with much more stable insulin and glucose levels than you could achieve manually. Very cool.
What's missing is the v3 version of tor2web. Currently only v2 is supported. If v3 was supported, people on the clear internet would see more of those sites as well.
I don’t invest in tech stocks because they are far too volatile. :)
Sales is business. It would be weird to spend an hour with each potential customer talking about their personal life. If you can do that, you must be selling something expensive, and that's going to limit who you can talk to.
There's no good way around the liquidating trustee's cut that doesn't involve replacing the trustee in bankruptcy with a government employee, but Congress expressed its preference to outsource this function to private entities and that's what we have

Unfortunately, federal bankruptcy law puts workers far down the list of who gets paid, after business creditors and legal fees for the bankruptcy itself

This is mostly correct but wrong enough to deserve a bit of elaboration and a link. The Bankruptcy Code treats a small portion of ordinary wages as priority debts that get paid ahead of some other unsecured creditors including unsecured business creditors, but always after administrative expenses, and it's not a lot of money. For the entire list of people who get paid before employees as well as the priority amount see https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/11/507 section (A)(4)
He wants to spend an hour per-person with 10,000 people, rather than meeting 10,000 people in a single hour.
I actually thought I experienced that this morning. But then I looked closely, and there were actually photos containing sections of what I was left to assume were actually bridges. So I think you're technically wrong, but the spirit of your comment is correct!
Both of these statements are still very much in flux:

"Affordable lab robots from companies like OpenTrons mean you can do batch experiments without hiring an army of people, and computational drug discovery from companies like Atomwise allows some experiments to be done completely in silico."

I work in this field and I strongly recommend being extremely cautious making claims like this. You can't just get rid of lab techs when you use OpenTrons (instead, they spend their time debugging the robots), and in silico discovery of drugs is still fairly unreliable.
> That’s just how the game works.

I agree that you're talking about an optimal analysis of the current game.

However, one of the roles of government is to alter games which are suboptimal for society. For example cartels are illegal despite them being optimal for the sellers.
Climate change made European heatwave up to 3°C hotter
Of course it was timing. A Democrat in office during 9/11 would have made no difference. Nobody was seeing straight at that time. Everyone wanted the federal government to do something about those darn terrorists. With the PATRIOT Act passed, it was like that quote from the Stars Wars prequels: "So this is how liberty dies: with thunderous applause..."
I think you're confusing Herbert Hoover and J. Edgar Hoover.

I've never been a union member, or worked as a white collar worker at a unionized place, but I'm curious what you think the downside of unions are? I'd personally be quite in favor of the transparency that unions bring to things like pay scales and HR processes. Is it just the dues you don't like?

Edit: the only story I've heard in tech that involved unions was the strike at the Eugen gaming company, and as far as I can tell, they had pretty good reason to strike.
really great design
I don't think you need to be a returning intern to get the cash bonus. At least I got one without being an intern

When I had to wind down a company in Austin, Texas, pretty much everyone in arbitration and court on all sides of the table recognized that workers got paid first.

I wonder if that is local?

I seem to remember that just about everyone was terrified of contingent WARN_Act violation related claims that could take up to 4 years to trickle in, and that was definitely federal.

Isn't the obvious answer cash/gold? Timing is everything though, recession incoming could 6 months, 18 months or 10 years away. And depends on your investment goals (EG if you're in your 30s and have it in a pension best let it be).
This is an excellent breakdown of something that feels obvious but was hard to express. Thank you.

Would appreciate thoughts on this alternative that we are developing:

https://github.com/librecaptcha/lc-core

The idea is to develop a framework for Captcha generators. A few sample generators are provided out of the box, but new ones can be written easily. The framework takes care of storing entries in the database, serving them as challenges through an HTTP API, and checking the responses.

From the README, why libreCaptcha:

* Eliminate dependency on a third-party
* Respecting user privacy
* More variety of CAPTCHAs, tailored to your audience

The implementation has a long way to go (it was written by students trying to learn Scala), but would appreciate thoughts on the concept.

My favorite investment advice, courtesy of Mr. Money Mustache:

"Suppose you’re just starting out as an egg farmer, and your goal is to build up a nice, profitable business. You want to build up a flock of hens so big that they are eventually producing thousands of eggs per month. Enough to live off for life and retire.

You buy your first 100 hens, and they get right to work. You allow those eggs to hatch so more hens can be born, and you also continue to buy hens from the farm supply store. Suddenly your phone rings and it’s Farmer Joe down the road. “The price of hens has just dropped by 50%! You’ve just lost five grand on those hundred hens you bought last summer!”

Is this a sensible way to think about it?

No, of course not. You’re happy that hens are cheaper, because now you can build your egg business even faster.

Stocks are just like hens. They lay eggs called “dividends”, which are real money that can either flow automatically into your checking account, or automatically reinvest itself to buy still more stocks...There’s only one time you care if one of your shares is down: on the day you sell it."

That was the exact point when I decided this article was a waste of time. What a ridiculous statement. Even if it was meant to be comedic hyperbole, the effect is that it's impossible to take seriously anything else the author has to say.
48k is less than the median income in the US [1]. Miners also make generally around 100k, which is why they want to keep those jobs so hard. It’s rare to find high paying jobs in low cost areas that don’t require much education.

This is worrying on so many levels. How is a person supposed to provide for their family if a non-compete clause prevens them from taking another job that can match the salary ?

Doesnt the employer enforcing non compete have to provide a portion of the salary if the former employee has to work for a reduced salary in different industry?

Also -- shouldn't the suing company have to show what secret sauce the former employee could be taking with them ? And if that secret sauce is that valuable, shouldn't the former employer get a patent on that sauce instead of suing employees.
Sure, blocking is throttling 100%.

The point remains that the OP mischaracterized net neutrality. What is important is that net neutrality only concerns transport of IP packets. Content providing companies and web site owners can moderate, block, or censor content as they like and as they deem fit. They have done so in the past under net neutrality, do so in countries with net neutrality laws, and are doing it now in the US without net neutrality.

The two issues are frequently mixed up, hence my comment.

On a side note, I've never heard anyone argue that ISPs should block content, that seems like a strawman to me, but I guess if you just search hard enough you can find someone on the Internet who argued for that nonsense.

> lawful content

Good point, that's compatible with restrictions of freedom of speech due to declaring certain kind of content illegal, and clearly illustrates that the two issues are different from each other. Yet people confuse them again and again, and additionally almost always base their arguments on a false dichotomy or on fallacious slippery slope arguments.
Another technology that needs to be regulated and banned in many cases. Paying bills and handling finances online should be accessible to everyone. This prevents it from being so. It may already be a violation of the ADA. After all, how is a blind person supposed to pass? Impossible. For other websites, well they can do whatever. The internet is mostly a cesspool and anything that can't be visited with JavaScript turned off is not worth visiting. That includes "clever" spa blogs that could just be static sites and all types of other garbage. Maybe one in a thousand or one in a million sites other than finance, shopping, etc might be an exception to that but no website with recaptcha is. I wonder if we can sue Google for ada violations. I'm sure there are plenty of disabled people on the internet for q class action.
So he could do 10,000 eye tests, teach 10,000 people first aid, try to sell 10,000 cars or fleece 10,000 people out of their pensions, all on a one to one basis.

The bot is delegating what it presents to the human, though. So just present the human with images that have already faded in (and if no image has finished fading in, switch to the images from the other captcha).

Edit: Unless, it occurs to me now, Google is monitoring how the user responds to the fade in. When in the fade process do they click the square, for instance.

Still seems like it wouldn't be all that helpful, though.

I'm not a finance or economics expert, what I've gathered from various internet sources is that yes: the yield curve has been inverted for over 1 quarter, which historically should mean there will be a recession coming.

However there are questions about whether it will be right again. One reason is that when the US government implemented Quantitative Easing during the great recession, it did this by buying a bunch of treasuries. There is some question about whether the inverted yield curve we are seeing now may be a result of that, rather than solely a result of investors predicting below zero interest rates.
I think this is a great call out. This is infact the very moment that skill and professionalism in team management is called to the front. A really good manager can do something about this; but it's a gradual process and a hard one.

Fundamentally you need to change the culture of the team. The first step is to establish a team - in the situation you are describing there is no real team - just a bunch of people waiting for a cheque every month, a new job or being told that this job no longer exists. You need to figure out if there is a core purpose that some or ideally most of the people in the team will sign up to (with you - if you aren't "in" then they can't be), which will deliver for your stakeholders. Then you have to orientate the team to deliver this, some of them won't come along, some of them can't. You will have to do a lot of coaching with some of the ones that would like to.

The big question : what is the core purpose that your team will adopt and which will change how they work and what they will do?

Ask. Ask them.

I am unclear on a point. Federal spending goes through bonds process to provide the funds, and creates a 'debt'...i.e. the national debt, which some people are obsessed over. When a bank lends money to a private party, this money is created also, ultimately through the same bonds process, I presume? If so, do bank loans increase the 'national debt'?
And their ability to voice themselves is related to how much money they have. After all, nearly all forms of mass communication are directly controlled by said corporations.

I don't think this is just cause for labeling them. This, if anything, is them manipulating less than they used to.

That said, labeling them would be a political act, not necessarily one based on objective evidence. In the current climate, it might happen.

You might want to look into "inverse short etf's". I personally don't invest in them because it requires a sizable position to make meaningful profit, and timing is very hard.
This comment plays into some awful streetwear stereotypes. "ym bape compilation" is about as representative of streetwear as a video of Raiders fans rioting is representative of professional sports, if not less so. Sure, there are some assholes. Where aren't there?

I think the sort of behavior you describe can happen with any sort of niche or exclusive retail. It's not particularly fair to single out streetwear here, which already has a negative stigma in many circles.

I'd assume the bouncers would be there primarily to prevent shrinkage. Seems reasonable to have people around to ensure running off with hundreds of dollars of clothing is less attractive of a proposition. Sorry you had to deal with that confrontation either way, though.

Even private property rights have limits: a factory owner cannot pollute a water supply for personal profit.

Whoops. Page 47. I paraphrase: Sequences "converge" if there exists an N such that the sequence stays within epsilon of p (the mark) for all indexes larger than N.

I know it seems formal because it adheres to a certain structure, but even this is informal at a fundamental level.

Specifically, how can we be sure we can perform a countably infinite number of distance measurements in the metric space to be sure the sequence stays close to p? (this is the infinite stack of inequalities I alluded to)

He doesn't say. Implicitly, Rudin is saying here that this definition of "converges" is good enough. And he's not wrong. It is a very good definition. To me at least this is Rudin, the towering statue of formality, being informal.

He could/should have actually gone down to a more fundamental level and whipped out mathematical induction as an axiom to assure us that we can do such things, but then that would have taken him off his narrative goal, and also probably lost even more readers. Furthermore, even if he did so, an axiom is an assertion that "you just have to trust me on this one."

Now look, I'm not bashing formality. I'm a huge fan of it, and teach upper level math classes formally. But it has it's place and it is NOT in Calculus 1. Furthermore, I think folks need to realize that even the most formal of treatises have informalities buried in them at the very least in the form of stated axioms.
