>You have not. You've shown that after a year of not buying lottery tickets they might have that $500, with the caveat of the fact that we know that's not really how that works - any savings gets wiped out by the next unexpected bill long before that.

I don't see how this math works. Lets say my total annual income is $5000 to keep the math easy. My spending looks like this:

get $5000 paycheck (for the sake of ease of math)

spend $3000 on rent

spend $500 on lottery tickets

spend $1000 on food

spend $500 on tobacco

Now I have a $500 bill that I don't have the money for.

Conversely I could:

get $5000 paycheck

spend $3000 on rent

spend $1000 on food

Now I have a $500 bill that I can cover because I did not buy all those lottery tickets.

The article has a really big blind spot, in that it fails to mention the Drug War even a single time.

If you want to understand why America's police act like an occupying army- the militarization of weapons and approaches, the festering hostility between the police and the policed, the heavy-handed suspicion and disregard for those under their protection- then you have to start with the Drug War.

Policing against victimless crimes is fundamentally a different endeavor than policing against normal violent or property crime. In a rape, assault, or robbery there's a clear victim to come forward. Crime gets reported, police investigate, criminal gets arrested, community improves from having a violent psychopath off the streets. It's a simple formula, everybody's happy.

But when you're trying to police the crimes of drugs or prostitution or illegal lemonade stands, there is no aggrieved party. Just two or more people engaged in a mutually voluntary transaction. Hence there's no way to stop this activity besides butting into people's lives, violating their privacy, kicking down doors, and harassing random people on the street. You're no longer hauling away lunatics that hurt people. You're arresting mothers, sons, and boyfriends who are just trying to make a living.

If you want the police to be respected and valued by the communities that they police, then focus on restricting their activities mainly to victim-centric crimes. The resolution of which provides tangible value to the policed. Adopt a Portuguese-Style approach to drug policy, where usage and low-level dealing of drugs is decriminalized and treated as a health rather than criminal issue.
I think that relates to my point in the sense, I really don't care about reviews if they're that ephemeral / arbitrary.

People might post a lot of those, it might be human nature to some extent to do it.... but that kinda fits my point that the reviews become useless at that point.

Editing -> done by authors and reviewers, (paid) editors never make editorial suggestions

Proofreading -> $50 on mechanical turk (this is really just proofreading according to a list of detailed rules, they not validating the text)

Layout -> Completely useless in the internet age. In fact pasting it all in an HTML page makes it easier to read.

Submit related info to different databases -> This should not be a thing at all. It is a thing because their databases are closed-access so they submit data and metadata to paying customers. I dont even think this is covered by subscription/publication costs but from those paying customers.

So yeah, i think most ppl would be happy to pay ~$200 for their paper. It helps to weed out trolls too.
yeah, and what about the other millions of web properties inundating your web browser with JS that tracks, beacons, analyzes, and whatever the hell else?

unless you want to replace your comment with "stop using the web" you'd be way better off getting on the spectrum of defending yourself to an obviously hostile world, with things like uBlock Origin, pihole, $increasing_complexity, and so forth
From an outside perspective, that waste is probably the most interesting and valuable part of the moon now. And this idea of 'purity' is rather absurd, given the size of the moon. Almost nothing in the universe is so pure that you can't find contaminants on the order of ~1 part per mole. Do you complain when someone leaves a gold atom on a sugar cube?
Employment law is a mixed state and federal issue. There are some very significant federal employment protections, such as the Civil Rights Act.

Well, they could have, but if they had they would have brought back fewer samples of actual material from the surface of the moon. Given the enormous expense and risk involved in getting there, it's far from obvious to me that they made the wrong decision.

I think he means it's mental to imagine Christians actually doing that. I agree.

No judgement in if you do that, good for you. However the point is not that it's too much reading or w/e, but rather that it's far more than the typical christian cares to do. To assume christians actually do that is the mental part, but you choosing to do; if that makes sense.

edit: To the downvote, do you honestly think the majority of christians in America, some self proclaimed 70% of Americans iirc, read several passages a day? Really?
I would agree that most US police are not qualified to deal with the issues of trust. Part of that is that they don't have the training, part of that is that there are centuries of bad history in the way of it, and part of it is that for police to do this in a better way would require a lot more police per 1,000 citizens, which is hard to get political support for.

I'm not sure that it's true that "most other countries" police work the way you're saying. There's a good book on the problems of policing world-wide, " The Locust Effect: Why the End of Poverty Requires the End of Violence
by Gary A. Haugen,Victor Boutros".

That would be nice.

I'd love to not see all the reviews from "This guy who thinks Dominoes Pizza is the best pizza."

Like I might eat it too and it's ok... but man I don't want that guy's opinion on other pizza places.

I do wonder how a system like that might evolve ... if it even does. Google News determined I like a certain sports team. I do not, but it shows me news from them endlessly and not the team I like no matter how much direct feedback I provide..... Tastes change, that system could make Maps kinda useless if someone's tastes change but they get a bunch of garbage reviews.
That's because an organization called the Gideons put them there, not necessarily because anyone asked for them, wants them, or reads them.

I'd think that would not be very reliable considering how much variation there is among bible translations even in one language. For instance, if you compare some passages of the Jewish Publication Society translation of the Tanakh with some Christian translations of the OT, you might wonder if they were actually referring to the same original text.
It doesn't matter the age of your wallet. Without waiting for other blocks to write your payment you run the risk of a double pay leaving you with nothing. e.g. I buy some coffee and then immediately send all funds from that wallet to my other wallet. If the 2nd transaction gets recorded first, the first tx won't happen.
I tend to work a lot in Lisp and XML, both are more or less trees if you squint (with the Lisp syntax famously being the AST due to homoiconicity) and it always makes me wonder if there are better command line tree search or tree diff algorithms out there (extra awesome if it works with git merge strategies). I mean whitespace preference is fine and all, but sometimes you just don’t care :p
In the US too. Doesn't mean "christians" actually do that. Christians in my experience largely just like the label, very few follow through with a life of learning and loving.

edit: I should be clear, I'm just referring to christians by label; not anyone specifically. If you are christian and you read daily, put in effort to learn and love, more power to you. I appreciate you. That however seems abnormal in my experience. People tend to be lazy, and christians are after all people.
If You Didn’t ‘Sharent,’ Did You Even Parent?
fascinatingly, I have done this! Was vegetarian, went so far as to take a job as a clerk at an ethical butchery.

I eventually went vegan (and returned to engineering again) but I have the deepest respect for those who work with meat but treat the taking of a life with reverence. It is excellent harm reduction.

Asking folks, especially indigenous folks, to abstain from a traditional food lifeway is a hard conversation not to be an asshole in unless you are offering something equivalent (in taste and cultural position) that does not involve mega-scale mutilation and trauma to sentient beings. Beyond-Meat-style precise simulation helps. Careful, farm-driven husbandry and ethical slaughter helps enormously too, but obviously scales less well.

It's important to me to as cause as little unnecessary suffering as possible, and to treat the taking of a life with great solemnity. Ethical butchery does these things.

I got 1.125% which in retrospect was too low. But perhaps the bigger point is to find out or negotiate what it will take to get additional grants. Executives and the founders will likely get additional equity, particularly during funding rounds, the hiring of key roles, etc. You should have a path to getting additional stake too.

I haven't yet read this 2004 article, but, FWIW, there was significant US software industry worker fear of programming jobs being outsourced overseas, starting at least just before dotcoms. The dotcom funding boom and disruption seems like it might've been a relief of that. A noteworthy 1992 book on the topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_and_Fall_of_the_Americ...
That's true but it will really limit what information they can gather from you in the first place.

For example, the article mentions they knew about browsing habits but that wouldn't be the case if they couldn't see you.

I suppose it comes down to "we have the data, so let's use it"... we need to stop the mass-gathering in the first place then these "bugs" are meaningless.
how is this different than working with a really good starter kit? I guess if you already have sketch designs this will give you a better starting point.

For cows at least, I’m not sure where this infinite level of suffering you mention comes in. They grow on a ranch well taken care of and have all the food and medical care they could want (more than most Americans can say!). Then they are taken to a feedlot and given all the fattening grain they could ever want (if you’ve ever owned an animal you know that unlimited food is their nirvana) before being humanely slaughtered in an approved and as painless as possible way.

Something else to think of is if not for being grown for food they wouldn’t have existed at all. Is not existing better than that life they get? It’s an interesting question.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/26669595/

That study measured fecal cortisol (indicator for stress) upon arriving at a feedlot and after fattening and the animals seem to be within normal limits the whole time.
The linked article is a good example of where choosing a cipher such as ChaCha20-Poly1305 can be a fraction slower than AES but also more reliable and forward-compatible when CPU extensions are suddenly switched off. Imagine the not-too-distant future where a Spectre-like bug forces kernels to disable certain CPU extensions, and you suddenly find yourself stuck with mountains of data encrypted with the wrong cipher that only works safely and tolerably when hardware-accelerated.

I'll always remember this really sad story I read somewhere. An old couple had rented early video-recording equipment for a trip to the grand canyon. They took videos of the canyon, and some of the videos included brief accidental glimpses of their young kids in the periphery. Decades later, those glimpses are priceless and precious to the old couple, whereas the videos of the canyon are worthless. "Why did we aim the camera at those stupid cliffs?! Our kids were right there! If only this shot was one more inch to the left..."

The problem is that often changing your own behavior hurts you more than it works to effect change, unless lots of others also spontaneously jump onboard. Which, more or less certainly, they won't, so you're basically just self-flagellating in a closet, which might make you feel morally pure but isn't doing anything to change the world. This is a pretty well-studied part of political science (and probably is covered in other disciplines like sociology, I'd expect) so there's a ton of both theoretical and practical (case) studies on the topic.

Coordination problems (and very serious problems of information access & distribution) are why things like boycotts are in fact, however much we might wish otherwise, so laughably bad at enforcing community norms on e.g. large companies, and why the market doesn't do a great job of just "sorting out" all kinds of things most people would consider to be problems.

I was wondering too. The librarian that told me about it, is a copyright expert and was outraged. However, it seems like there was not much they could do. I am guessing the fact that this is happening at an Ivy league university means that lawyers are not useful in this matter. They also said that only Elsevier does that.
Data breach exposed personal information of over 50000 Naperville students
Hey everyone, founder here. A few friends and I built Glimpse to surface trending topics - companies, products, industries, everything - and we send out curated trend reports via email.

The way it works is we first capture nearly every topic online, then we look at frequency of discussion, searches, shares, etc. around each topic. Beyond just the growth in frequency, our software looks for indicators that a trend is organic and has more room to grow, as it’s important that we surface trends not fads.

There are plenty of tools that help you dive deep on a new trend you’ve heard of, but the problem is you need to have already heard about the trend. This is what we’re solving for - exposure to the unknown unknowns.

As an example, SheIn is growing on Google Trends, but when you compare that to popularity on other sites like Reddit and Twitter, you realize that the large majority of search traffic is driven by people googling after they see an ad.

Surprisingly, nearly all our engineering energy goes into filtering out the noise. Even after this, there’s a good deal of manual work. We’ve found that most of our users don’t want to do this themselves through a tool - they want the insights packaged and delivered, and we think it’s important to provide high quality trends that aren’t biased by data.

While Glimpse started as a way for us to figure out which products we could build and sell online, we realized how helpful it is for founders, investors, product people and marketers to constantly see how consumer behavior, marketing, and products are evolving so they can better do their jobs.

Would love feedback!

I have a similar dim view of "making something illegal to patch a problem". Though I wonder if there are contract structures that require customer activity to be classifiable as "illegal" for a relationship to be terminated. Given how regulated phone infrastructure is, I wouldn't be surprised if there were laws that "guaranteed access" in the name of forcing the expansion of network access but could be weaponized by adversaries / spammers.
Well that's pretty much how you learned your first language already! You didn't even need subtitles.
Rule 1: Always have a plan for the day.

Theorem 1: If you accomplish half of your plan for the day, you had a very unusual day.

Rule 2: Be ready, at a moment's notice, to drop your plan for the day to pursue an unusual opportunity.

Theorem 2: You might not always be rewarded for your enthusiasm, however. And, at first, you will see many "opportunities" that are actually distractions from the task you are avoiding. Time and seasoning will give you discernment.

Rule 3: Be aware, at a moment's notice, that you will have to drop your plans and focus on an unexpected emergency. Re-build what broke so that it won't break the same again next time.

Rule 4: You can start practicing now by skipping meals, or even skipping a day of eating on occasion. Also, sleep on the floor with a light blanket sometimes. Don't wear a coat to work sometimes. Take cold showers. Practice being uncomfortable. Practicing makes it easier to absorb being uncomfortable when you don't have a choice in the matter.

Rule 5: While you will be met by frequent surprises and challenges, you will also be bored at times. Practice being comfortable with being bored by walking more, with no headphones, no podcasts, no music. Just you and your thoughts.

Rule 6: You will always be building and re-building a plan for the day, but that plan should always be fitting into a context of the season that is coming next. What you do today makes the next season more comfortable, or at least, survivable.

Theorem 3: You can judge how well you are surviving and adapting to the challenges of your environment by how long out into the future your planning reaches.

Theorem 4: To romanticize this as "simplicity" is to grossly underestimate the mental fortitude and resilience required to focus on the matter at hand while continuing to rebuild a plan for the near future, all without losing your shit and giving up. Not to mention, grossly underestimating the creativity with which Nature can surprise you.

(The numbering doesn't really matter, but theorem 1 is related to rule 1, and theorem 2 is related to rule 2. Mostly, it was just a way of separating my thoughts.)
Citizens shooting each other is conflict resolution, which only becomes a police issue when people know no other resolution than violence. By the time conflict reaches the police, it's escalated to where third parties like the police can only clean up after.

If an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, teaching social and emotional skills to children would help a lot, though would take a generation to see widespread results. Our schools not only don't teach social and emotional skills, they teach submission to authoritarian rule and remove what could teach social and emotional skills: recess, free play, the arts (doing them not history or appreciation). Schools are among the most authoritarian institutions. (I recommend Peter Gray's Freedom to Learn blog https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/freedom-learn, especially
Children’s Freedom: A Human Rights Perspective: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/freedom-learn/201902...).

Schools could help a lot, specifically, teaching skills through experience, not abstract facts to fill out bubbles on standardized tests.

the device can't magically detect the world Alexa - there is some lossy process of translating incoming noise into a vector that has some probability of being the hotword, and above this probability the device enables.

a more accurate thing to say would be:
