Sorry I'm confused. Was it not the GP that referred to people on Section 8 as having "things come easy" to them?

That seems like a clear failure of empathy and I fail to see how it was "debunked."
Even if identifying dickflashers is their primary concern, situation can be helped by improving security, not decreasing it. Non-guessable meeting IDs, passwords, maybe unique invite links so it's possible for meeting orgs to identify who invited the flasher.

If someone sends clickbait invites to abusive meeting, then victims can trivially report it, possibly with screenshots.
> According to the Pentium Processor Family Developer’s Manual Volume 3: Architecture and Programming Manual (Intel order no. 241430), the LOOP instruction. The absolute best case when the branch is taken is 6 clock cycles. The Intel manual notes that “[t]he unconditional LOOP instruction takes longer to execute than a two-instruction sequence which decrements the count register and jumps if the count does not equal zero”.

This makes me wonder about three-instruction sequences of increment / decrement / jump-if-nonzero, and one-instruction sequences of jump-if-nonzero. What's the point of having the unconditional LOOP instruction in the first place?
Something makes me doubt that humans will still be around at that time.

Yeah, or they just say stuff anyway. Yesterday Slate reported [0][1] that a large body of the experts (I refrain from scare quotes, but they seem apropos these days) are saying the protests take priority over the public health emergency.

Thank you for being a decent human. Is racism more prevalent in Italy ?
In some states there are many police force (state, university, city, county, town). Every one is armed to the teeth. Mental and physical standards for police are abysmal in the USA. Don't ever try to make a complaint against the police in your local town or they'll start to intimidate you. Police don't have an external and independent investigative procedure. It's all rigged.

Police are often the revenue generators for individual towns. That's inherently wrong.
That's on Substack, not the creator, you can click the "Let me read it first" link to see the articles. What is annoying, and understandable based on your perspective, is that clicking the link doesn't change the URL (it's entirely client side routing) so that OP couldn't have posted just the articles but had to make it show the email form first.
"or else it would be obvious why they “knock off” those two bits"

In a post where I'm talking about necessary processing (where you claim there is none) to turn the ugly sensor data into workable forms you attempt to correct me to tell me that it needs to be processed (I mean, you are aware of libraw so clearly you're an expert. funfact: I worked for two years on a professional codebase that specifically dealt with raw sensor processing), as if to demonstrate my ignorance. Remarkable absence of self-awareness on your part.

Your reply could really be posted as a counterpoint to your own first post where you decided to counter my basic statement that all CMOS sensors have noise and abberations.

"and if you understood the physics of how a CMOS sensor works"

Just to be clear, your authoritative site shows the iPhone (the last generation) being less noisy than many SLRs. And it's fact that the iPhone 11 has 10 stops of dynamic range, before any special bracketing, which bests many/most SLRs on that site. And yet we're still going. Amazing

But your core "if you only understood CMOS...reeeeeeeee!" claim is one that is often erroneously made. "larger sensor = larger sensor pit pitch = better, less noisy sensor!" Right?

I mean, this argument has been made against smartphones for years. To assure us that they'll always be crap because...like...physics or something. Though anyone who didn't decide to die on a really stupid hill has long moved on.

But here's the reality-

a) There are enormous difference between different CMOS technologies and implementations. Sony, for instance, has shot ahead of everyone else (though they bin and segment). There are many SLRs and mirrorless cameras with absolute trash sensors. Cargo culting is ignorant.

b) Many cameras with larger sensors spend the benefit on higher resolutions. The Sony A7R IV subdivides the sensor into 5x more pixels than the iPhone 11 (the A7R IV being one of the absolute best). If that was lossless you could simply process it to a lower resolution and have the best of both worlds, but it isn't lossless -- the circuitry and structure to support that resolution is substantial. Each pit has its own lines and power and memory channel. And even if they didn't, noise scales with the sensor size.

"Give me a specific SLR in the last 4 years where either of these is true."

You've already segued effortlessly from noise to dynamic range, humorously, and now you're making a baseless, nonsensical statement just hoping that no one actually confirms it. Your intellectual sincerity in this discussion is somewhere approaching non-existent, so I'm out. Cheers.

This has always surprised me, as it is nothing but literal gambling. Very strange how this is a "government approved" program.
Serious question, how many people here work at a startup with a questionable machine learning component?

There’s going to be graveyards of products that were ‘going to use machine learning to figure out real estate prices’ or whatever.

As I say elsewhere, I could just as easily use your empty standard to ban tweets saying “A riot is the language of the unheard.” This quote sympathetically explains rioting as a consequence of oppression—and it’s a quote I largely agree with. And yet people as easily triggered as you may seek to have MLK banned since the quote serves as justification/apologetics/glorification of rioting—-a definitionally violent and illegal act.

And if you want to play these games about particulars, replace war movie with war documentary. Are you satisfied now? Shall we ban war documentaries which may glorify violence?
Anyone who thinks anything comes easy because you're poor hasn't been poor except in the poor college student "working" their way through the college daddy is paying for type of poor.

No, the buybacks do. Youre making it seem as if the only way for a CEO to sell stock is if the company buys it back.

And it's specifically called a non-cash expense, because it doesn't affect cash (which salary does). You are correct in that it isn't a free money tree. It's paid for by shareholders. If the shareholders wish to pay their CEO $X, the government has no reason to intervene. It doesn't make the employees any better or worse off.

It means that they are interconnected with the Internet. Whether that's six laptops and a server closet or a ground-to-space link is up to them.
I've heard that all that QE and tax cuts from '08 and '20 goes into assets that are valued by rich people. Healthcare, real estate, college, financial securities, which drives up prices due to inflation. I'm not sure if I'm totally right, seems a bit too simple, but it makes enough sense to me. That money has to go somewhere, right?

Add that demand with demand from rich people from other countries for the same services (who might just loot their country and therefore aren't subject to the same domestic economic pressures) and prices keep going up.
Well sure, but I'm still not seeing where this "proves how deeply underpaid those jobs were".

The explicit intention behind CARES was to provide some resemblance of financial security during a very uncertain time. If paying people a couple hundred more dollars per week than they'd earn while working is what achieves that... and it's temporary... ok fine.

But the CARES Act will continue to payout through December... which is a long time from now... and that's if it doesn't become a political wiffle ball and get extended.

None of that has to do with the value an employee brings, or can earn while in the service industry.

Into the weeds, but... With a growing anti-tipping movement, I don't see how we can argue service industry workers can be paid more than they already are. If the market had the appetite for $30 diner burgers, we'd already be paying those rates, no? Wouldn't the business owners raise prices and just pocket the difference if people were willing to pay more?

I think that results in fewer people eating out... which leads to fewer service industry workers, which leads to some other problems.

Way into the weeds - I've long thought the solution isn't just to command more money be paid to service workers. We should instead focus on trade school and education to empower people to seek skilled jobs that pay far better. I'd fully support free or low cost trade schools and community colleges, and would rather pay taxes into that versus a $30 mediocre burger.
What do you mean by "we treat peers as customers"?

This is side stepping the issue. The solution is very simple and straight forward: you simply buy whatever is "FSA approved", and submit a claim. Can't be any more straight forward. Or as OP presented, you use the same card, but then it gets deducted from your paycheck minus tax.

Reflecting insolation does nothing for the collapse of ecosystems that is the principle damage from elevated temperatures.

Ocean acidification continues increasing, soon eliminating the base of the marine food chain, and the main source of protein for much of the world's human population.

To be useful, a geoengineering program should increase bio-uptake of CO2 in the oceans, driving up the pH. This was tried in a small experiment scattering iron-containing dust, but the results were strangely confiscated and suppressed, and implausible consequences published instead. I would like to know more about the whole event, but it is hard to find out anything.

The Atlantic ocean gets a big periodic influx of iron dust from winds off the Sahara, but the Pacific doesn't.
Part of it is that there’s nowhere else to put the money. Currently we’re in a situation where no one has a way that they can spend money to make more of it.
You are correct. It doesn't. The entire CEO pay controversy is a wedge issue. The only people who should be complaining about CEO pay are shareholders.

Given the natural resource depletion caused by our economy, plus technological progress implying that we all should be working less, how is this remotely worrying? We've had strong deflation in the tech sector for over four decades, and the results have been fantastic.

That's my understanding as well.

My wife started a co-working space January this year, it was her office and the co-working bit was to save on the rent with a prediction of some profit in a year or two.

Then covid happened, so we gave our notice to the landlord and are looking for a bigger house, with a spare room she can use as an home-office

We're saving money from the office rent and investing them in a less potentially profitable solution, but safer, at least for the moment.

Apparently this is a thing not just here, but it's global.

I think that's gonna keep the market alive for the next few months, I really can't say what could happen after that.
We're in a similar situation in our household. Our jobs are remote until (at least) 2021/1/1. Our lease is up in December, instead of June/July (unfortunately for us!).

In our case, instead of moving away, we'd be pouncing on the way-below-baseline price, high-quality rentals that have been popping up for the last couple months.

The market's totally inverted. It used to be that if deals like these appeared, they'd be snapped up within 48 hours or less. Nowadays, they linger for days and even weeks in some cases.

To clarify, I've been tracking 1-2BR apartments in the Clinton Hill-Brooklyn Heights-Park Slope-Carrol Gardens quadrangle. I've heard that other neighborhoods are popping in the other direction, but I don't follow them as avidly.

This crisis is terrible in many ways, but it's also a perfect opportunity to find your long-term rental "forever-apartment", if your lease is up.
A RTL-SDR with whatever antenna you whipped up to listen to NOAA sats is not going to have enough link margin to tune in a SpaceX transmission. IIRC the example user terminal SpaceX demoed ages ago is a phased array hooked up to a fairly beefy modem.
You are right. It would work well if the models included a utility function and, instead of measuring likelihood of survival, the measurement were expected utility.
In a way, I think Google and Microsoft have the right idea with an excellent desktop experience with Linux on the side.

I recently switched to ChromeOS beta channel from 20 years on Linux and have no intentions of going back. I can get real Linux on a cloud VM when I need it, most everything is containers now and that does work in the LinuxApp (a chroot plus things I haven't looked into)
This is just not how the stock market works. "More investors" doesn't trigger price increases.
My understanding is that the appeal of owning real estate yourself is housing mortgages gives you: (1) the cheapest leverage available to retail investors and (2) a loan that can't be margin-called. In an upmarket, this leverage lets you juice your returns. Say you only have $200,000. Then by getting a mortgage of $800,000 you get ownership of a house worth $1M. This gives you the right to the cashflow from renting the house out and in an upmarket, the appreciation in the house price. If the house appreciates in value by 20% or $200,000, then with your $200,000 investment your return is 100%. Buying REITs in he form of an ETF doesn't offer you either the cheap leverage nor the margin call-proof loan.

Another difference is that REITs own many types of commercial real estate, ranging from office and apartment buildings to warehouses, hospitals, shopping centers, hotels and timberlands, but usually real estate retail investors own are for housing.
The government orders aren't the only thing impacting the economy.

Figuring out how to mitigate the virus, and thus making people feel more confident about economic activity, is what the economy needs.

Like good luck with it, but if 95% of Americans started wearing masks in the next couple of weeks, it's pretty clear that this would be a big boost to the economy over the next 6 months. But we don't do group oriented statistical mitigations here.
The problem is global, so taxes in the United States that reduce fossil fuel consumption will move consumption elsewhere while incurring a political cost. It's going to be very hard to get, for example, Peru to increase its fossil fuel taxes to match.

Perhaps the United States and other rich countries could subsidize Peru and friends. The political cost for that will be very high.
You think rich people don't cause damage?

Gangs aren't affected by gun control though -- most gang guns are gotten illegally (when they're not being supplied by the government of course). Moreover, states with strict gun control, like California, have more gangs than others. Chicago used to ban guns entirely but its murder rate was higher than today, when guns are allowed (by the Supreme Court). And inequality is not what leads to gang violence. We have less gang violence now than in the 90s, despite more wealth inequality. These are all distractions.

So no.... there's no disconnect, Americans just realize what's going on.

The reason broadcast content was regulated was because broadcast frequencies are a finite, public resource. Internet platforms are neither of those.

Also, the FCC no longer regulates broadcast content. It publicly stated a number of years ago that it does not have the desire to do so. The stations police themselves in order to stay within their perceived community standards to prevent external regulation.

Today, unless a station does something really egregious and congresscritters get involved, there is effectively no content regulation.

In the mid-90's, I was part of a morning radio show that was #2 in a medium-sized East coast market. One day we said "shit" on the air three times to see if this was true. Nothing happened. We didn't hear word one from any listener, manager, or government agency.
I can see that being useful if the app said, "Replace O-ring AE-35. Press ORDER to order this part, INSTRUCTIONS for service information and diagrams, or SERVICE to schedule a service appointment."
