The net result of this is that your typical SAG member who doesn't have the power to demand higher rates anyway based on their own reputation ends up with almost no work because so few productions can afford to hire them,

This is false. Pretty much every theatrical film, broadcast or cable TV show, and nationally aired commercial in the US is subject to union/guild scales (and even Netflix has begun negotiating with the unions and guilds.)

If you have a "reputation" in Hollywood then you are making above scale because your agent has the leverage to demand above scale. And if you don't, that generally means you are a background player and you're making minimum scale. And at that level, you have trouble finding work because there are hundreds of thousands of other actors competing for the same roles, not because the productions can't afford you.

If you cast your mind back to the video game voice actor strike a few years ago, for example, you may recall that one of the justifications for that was that they needed more money because many of them were only getting something like one day's work a month on average

Yes, because there isn't that much voice over work in video games, and AAA studios were paying minimum scale for games that ultimately grossed hundreds of millions of dollars.

Mostly because no-one outside of the big triple-AAA games could afford to hire union voice actors.

This is false. The union scale for video game voiceover work was $825/session, no residuals no benefits. It usually takes less than 3 sessions to record all of an actor's lines, so you're looking at a total net outlay of less than $2500 for an actor's voiceover work in a video game. If your studio can't afford that for a game in which voiceover work is important enough to justify 3 sessions of recording, then you're not a studio, you're a hobby. (But on that note, a different, lower scale applies to low-budget games, just like it does to low-budget film and TV productions.)

Trump is highly unlikely to be a billionaire. The only source for this claim was Trump himself. He took on an alter ego and lied to Forbes to get on the Forbes list.

Other than Forbes, I know of no source that claimed Trump was a billionaire. I think it all goes back to the original lie.

Further, most of his charity scams have been strictly small time. Amounts ranging from $10,000 to a few hundred thousand. No billionaire needs to bother scamming figures so low. If you have, say, $5 billion in net worth and it grows at 5% per year, that’s $250 million per year.

$100,000 is strictly beneath the notice of someone with that much income. But it was not below Trump’s notice. Ergo, it seems unlikely he has the income. Again, the only source on his wealth was himself.

I should note, against my own argument, that Forbes presently thinks Trump is worth $4.4 billion. I could be wrong, but the charity behaviour seems so contrary to actually having wealth. We also know no banks other than Deutsche Bank would lend Trump money. If he truly has billions in assets not encumbered by debt....why? There seems little risk.

> Okay, so what would a secure email alternative look like?

Matrix is basically an email alternative. Though I think the address format is needlessly complicated. Email is perfectly good at addresses!
But you can't do this because you can't isolate people from society at large.
Agree with pretty much everything in the article. Encryption is not a property of email, and will never be. And if you manage to add a perfect encryption solution on top, it stops being email.

The most that can be done at this point is to build a new closed "email v2" which cannot interoperate with any existing client out there, but because of that it will inevitably be dead at launch.

For anyone curious about the trademark infringement, I hunted down the excerpt from the book that Wikipedia uses as a source (a book called Databases Demystified) and this is what it says in the book:

>> The forerunner of SQL, which was called SEQUEL (for Structured English Query Language), first emerged in the specifications for System R, IBM’s experimental relational database, in the late 1970s. However, two other products, with various names for their query language, beat IBM to the marketplace with the first commercial relational database products: Relational Software’s Oracle and Relational Technology’s Ingres. IBM released SQL/DS in 1982, with the query language name shortened to “SQL” after IBM discovered that “SEQUEL” was a trademark of the Hawker-Siddeley Aircraft Company. When IBM released its next generation RDBMS, called DB2, the SQL acronym remained. To this day, you will hear the name pronounced as an acronym (S-Q-L) and as a word (see-quel), and both are considered correct pronunciations.

I was hoping for a bit more interesting or detailed story.

ISAs are a good idea, but there's no way you can start a hyper-profitable business around it. It's literally a ponzi scheme under those circumstances as the total amount of students "pending" will always exceed those who are paying out as the mandate is to grow.

The potential solutions are three fold:

1. Limit growth of students - impossible if your organization received venture capital.

2. Reduce the cost to educate - Unfortunately if you make education a commodity, ironically it will be replicated, leading to alternatives, ultimately leading to (1).

3. Guarantee the loans somehow

I think the only type of organization that could pull it off is one that doesn't mind waiting a long time to do it sustainably. Probably a not-for-profit. Alternatively, you could sustain it by doing it at a loss, e.g. you have some other organization to ensure (3).

i thought i disagreed with you, but then i realised you're referring to the possibility of a unary procedure call in python.

but there are strict impure languages with white space function application. i suppose they handle the issue by using an object of a type with only one value.

in principle, you could handle the issue by contrasting (print) with (print ()), with () a pseudo value only existing at syntax level.

i'm not sure if white space function application carries it's own weight once we abandon partial application, so this feels like a contrivance to save a bursted balloon.
The problem is that the heat from the power supply needs some place to go. So installing the bulb upside down traps heat, and putting them in an enclosure also traps heat. Probably 90% of installations is one of these two.

The default MTU for a T1/E1 was usually 1500. The default for HSSI was 4470 which meant the default for DS3 circuits was 4470. This was also the usual default MTU for IP over ATM which is what most OC-3 circuits would have been using when they were initially rolled out for backbone use. This remained the usual default MTU all the way through OC-192 circuits running packet over sonnet.

I left the lSP backbone and large enterprise WAN field around that time and can't speak to more recent technologies.
What you're basically describing is compressive sensing. The basic idea is that if you can find a domain in which your data is maximally sparse, then you can transmit the same information with many fewer bits. Unless you're extremely lucky with your basis functions, it is not strictly speaking a lossless compression algorithm.

Britain never was bound by the
EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Read the small print....
Protocol 30: ON THE APPLICATION OF THE CHARTER OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION TO POLAND AND TO THE UNITED KINGDOM...

1. The Charter does not extend the ability of the Court of Justice of the European Union, or any court or tribunal of Poland or of the United Kingdom, to find that the laws, regulations or administrative provisions, practices or action of Poland or of the United Kingdom are inconsistent with the fundamental rights, freedoms and principles that it reaffirms.

2. In particular, and for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in Title IV of the Charter creates justiciable rights applicable to Poland or the United Kingdom except in so far as Poland or the United Kingdom has provided for such rights in its national law.

Article 2

To the extent that a provision of the Charter refers to national laws and practices, it shall only apply to Poland or the United Kingdom to the extent that the rights or principles that it contains are recognised in the law or practices of Poland or of the United Kingdom.

More fun facts:

- The Great Pyramid is a scale model of Earth, at a ratio of 1:43,200 (a significant number)

- It also encodes its own latitude and longitude

- Its base perimeter is equal to 1/2 a minute of latitude (1/43,200th of 360 degrees)

- It's aligned to true north within 3/60 of one degree (making it, I believe, the most accurately aligned structure on the planet)

These are not undisputed claims, but there is absolutely something different about 4th dynasty pyramids that is worth exploring. There are many, many anomalies about Giza that defy explanation. Another example is precision stone cutting and drilling from thousands of years ago.

It is popular to tar the electoral college with the slavery brush. But I think that's deeply unfair to the overall value that it offers.

Slavery is merely one kind of divisive issue that can be used by a candidate to leverage seeds of distrust, disdain and disagreement to gain leverage over the other side. Even without slavery, there were other issues that divided North and South. Anglophile vs. Francophile. Agrarian vs. Industrial. Federalist vs. "Jeffersonian Repulicans". Federal powers. vs State. Small states vs. Big States.

Something like an electoral college itself encourages compromise over divisive issues. You can't make just an appeal to populous coastal regions to win. You can't just make an appeal to moneyed northern industrial cities. You can't just make an appeal to agrarian southern interests. As we continue to change shape, candidates have to learn its shape and pull back to the middle if they want to win.

I like that modern candidates really have to get out there to so many different states and "press the flesh". They need to know a substantial portion of the country. A national vote would slowly put an end to this. And I think that's dangerous.

Consider today's angry issues - the debate over the 2nd amendment or Roe v Wade. A national vote would result in situations where a candidate can take a very strident position on topics like this and win - but it would ultimately lead to more division rather than trying to wrestle ourselves to some sort of compromise.

So I think it's really unfortunate to dismiss the EC as though its some sort of slavery preserving institution. It really promotes compromise and chills regional passions even if they are a large majority.

This is a known attack vector for autonomously-driving vehicles.

A 2018 paper titled "Robust Physical-World Attacks on Deep Learning Visual Classification" [1] tested what it called "adversarial perturbations" on the most important of all traffic signs: the STOP sign.

By slapping black and white stickers a couple square inches in size on the STOP sign, the authors managed to achieve a 100% misclassification of the STOP sign into 45 MPH speed limit one. To the human eye, the STOP sign is clearly visible and perceivable.

In theory, people owning autonomously-driving vehicles could be assassinated this way and nobody would be the wiser.

> If the market value of a healthy forest is greater then that of palm oil, the forest will survive. If the inverse is true, the forest will be destroyed.

More precisely: if the market value of palm oil is greater than that of healthy forest, there will be incentives to destroy the forest. That only translates to "the forest will be destroyed" where people / societies have no other values in play beyond their incentives.

Incentives matter, for sure, and using them as a tool to encourage preservation is a good arrow to consider stocking the quiver with. But something important is lost if we assume they're the only things that matter; it's essentially an acceptance of the idea there are no values besides incentives.

> Actually, this is the problem. Cash-strapped organizations should not be forced to pay rent for something that should be owned by them, or the people or the internet at large.

So Handshake does not permit name renewals? What happens, then, if some rich speculator just buys up all the rest of .org and rents them out at waaaay higher rates than $10/year? This is the problem we're dealing with right here -- ICANN permitting rent-seeking. Handshake certainly doesn't stop this; in fact, by design, it rejects the very idea that this could be a bad thing.

> "Less prone to corruption" is an interesting phrase. We've tried, and tried, throughout the history of mankind to create organizations that are "less prone to corruption." Ultimately, it's hard to solve if you choose to do it a social way.

So you're proposing that instead that DNS be governed by an unelected oligarchy of unaccountable miners? You'll have to forgive me if I'm not jumping for joy at the idea.

> Blockchain uniquely solves the issue here and, for the world, the way Handshake approaches the replacement of the root zone, will be the birth of the first time, in mankind, a actual system used by all people is powered, at the core (root), by blockchain.

You have already made it perfectly clear that you, personally, believe everyone would be better off if we all just surrendered DNS to an unelected oligarchy of unaccountable miners. You can spare me the blockchain woo-woo.

Please go back and read my comments on corruption and rent-seeking, since it does not appear that you read them. An unelected oligarchy of unaccountable miners is not going to solve this problem. A blockchain is not going to solve this problem. Technology is not going to solve this problem.

> There are a lot of made up problems that people are trying to solve with "blockchain" projects, ..

Sorry to interrupt this sentence, but Handshake is very much one of these solution-in-search-of-a-problem blockchain systems. We already have DNS. I'd rather we just stop the sale of .org and punish those responsible than destroy and re-implement a core piece of Internet infrastructure with blockchain woo-woo operated by an unelected oligarchy of unaccountable miners.

> and then there's Handshake, a consensus driven decentralized dns root and certificate authority, that helps the coordination of the internet namespace which isn't owned by any one person, but the collective of us all.

Calling it now: if deployed at scale in the absence of government oversight and regulation, Handshake will devolve into an unelected oligarchy of unaccountable miners, just like Bitcoin and Ethereum. I would bet all of my worldly possessions on it.
