> Honestly I'm not at all clear what a cohesive argument against CDL would look like.

The argument is simple. Copyright allows the copyright holder to enjoin anyone else from making a copy of a work - including a digital copy. Essentially all software works by making copies of data that is uses.

The first sale doctrine doesn't apply (IMO) because it sets limitations on the rights of a copyright holder to a particular copy of a work after it has been sold. Each "loan" of an ebook is a fresh copy.

If you look at the Controlled Digital Lending website[1], they pin most of the legal legitimacy on fair use, not first sale doctrine, which I think is probably much more solid legal footing.

Are they less social because they desire less social interaction, or are they less social because when they're awake they're around fewer people. Possibly critical distinction there.

Speaking for myself, I pretty much don't want to communicate with other people before 3 PM, however I'll happily stay up til 6 AM socializing with friends.
I consider police to be heroes. But that's not what we're seeing here.

The sides here are decent folk (police and protesters) against the racists and the violent criminals (police and rioters and looters).

And the police agree: "Three big California police unions release national reform plan to remove racist officers" https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/3-big-California...

Their plan includes "a national database of former police officers fired for gross misconduct that would prevent other agencies from hiring them."
This is not a case of a few bad apples.

American police need to be disarmed and fired. The idea of a professional police force (especially an /armed/ police force) makes about as much sense as a professional jury service.
Yep, but try explaining how a supposedly firm made up of "SV Ivy League geniuses" show clients that number.

Things that should make sense often don't.

(Just FYI, if you go on r/wallstreetbets, you will see this countless times...the software not showing the correct position, the software not showing the correct position and then forcing users to trade such that they lose money, it goes on and on and on...this business isn't complicated, you had men and women with high school level educations running these positions for decades without these problems...one touch from the "geniuses", kaboom...again, very little about what Robinhood do makes sense, it is baffling that they are even regulated to handle money.)
You are probably also taking it out of context. You have no idea what has happened in that neighborhood in the last year or decade. You have no idea what those perps and officers have experienced. Right?

Ah, I couldn't remember what it was that we did differently from zsh, but I knew there was something.

I would imagine - depending on the terminal emulator - the zsh behavior would cause copy-paste-cruft in the form of trailing whitespace while appearing correct, and would guess this was why we changed our implementation.

Who said anything about social stats?

Levitt in particular says he feels like his research can have a bigger impact if it’s shared broadly with people than if it reaches 10 other academics and that’s it. We’re not talking about likes on social media, we’re talking about breadth of audience for academic research and how scientists can do better than chasing meaningless citation stats.

Levitt talks about his thought process in this wonderful episode of Freakonomics. https://freakonomics.com/podcast/math-curriculum/
I'm ADD myself, and a night owl most of the time, and you've got me wondering if I get into a groove in the evenings because I'm less hyperactive and more relaxed. There's a kind of peace to the night time for me. Maybe it's the lack of outside pressures, maybe it's tiredness, maybe it's something else, but I find it weirdly comforting.

Great to hear you managed to put yourself in a good place. I'm 28 now, diagnosed last year (in so much as I was prescribed medication based on an official evaluation). These are pretty common sentiments from people who have managed to wrangle their lives, and I'd say that I've already adopted them for the most part. A big contributor to why I lost my job was that I didn't have anything else to do, and I couldn't just get up and do the job that wasn't that stimulating and have that be the day. I'm a skateboarder, I go to the gym, I hike, and do some calisthenics, my diet is mostly fruits and proteins, but aside from not eating 1kg of pasta in one sitting, I haven't seen any profound changes. These are all things that everyone should do, but most people also wake up on time for work. So while these are important aspects of your life now, what was the path you adopted that helped you get there?
I think you're right. By the time you know what everyone is buying/selling with any certainty, the boat has already sailed.
I'd be interested to see a breakdown of deaths, injuries, and trauma(PTSD and such) per capita for police officers versus various US Armed Forces MOSes as well as common civilian trades/occupations.

I imagine in general it's safer in most regards than many trades and MOSes but until I see the data I wouldn't want to make an actual assertion.

I'd put this together myself if I felt competent enough to do this properly but by no means am I a data scientist or anyone actually qualified to do this.
I own decks with 3 different material and feel to them and I haven't really went out of my way to look for them - just been picking them up when I'm out and about and either need a deck to play, for souvenirs, or see one I like.

My favorite so far is an Evangelion themed one. A bit gimmicky and may be confusing to play with but I think the art is actually nice. http://www.tabroid.net/news/2012/06/enjoy-hanafuda-with-eva-...

That being said, I haven't seen magic being done with these kinds of cards - they're much harder and smaller (think hard carton rather than paper) so you'd have to come up with new routines specifically for them.

Conventional thinking now says to NOT FOLLOW YOUR PASSION (time's have changed it seems.)

I always thought no but then I remember what it was like when I tried to leave home and got paid very little with my working class job. I had to live in one of the roughest parts of the city.

My wife is from a poor country too so she's also keen on our daughter being solvent.

The chances of her making a decent living from art are close to zero. Some alum came back to present her work at my daughters school, as part of her presentation she mentioned that she works two jobs as a waitress and barista and does her art around that; she's 25 years old.....

We're a family that have lived in multiple countries and now run two very successful businesses. It would be odd if our daughter became a struggling artists who no options beyond living in a trash part of a working class town.

I have never tried to steer her away from art but as she's getting older I can see that she'll likely ask us to pay for a 6-figure degree in what is effectively a hobby.

I want her to be happy but I worry that this world isn't an easy place if you're broke. You don't get to make your own choices, someone else does.

We've also told all three of our kids that they can forget sitting around and doing nothing while they wait for their inheritance (as suggested by my youngest son). Both boys are now studying (one economics with an internship at EY and one has just started comp sci).

We live a fairly full and busy life with lots of international travel. We always invested heavily in our kids education hoping that will pay off in making them successful, responsible and independent adults.

I'd love for one of the kids to take over our consulting firm but if that doesn't happen then I will sell the company and use that to fund a nice retirement. I don't believe in intergenerational wealth and I think inheritance tax should be close to 100%.

I appreciate my kids my not like the same things that I do but they have a clear choice, use their elite education to launch themselves into being financially free otherwise follow a hobby / passion and take a gamble on living in an area where you can't walk home safely. I've been in both situations and I know which one I prefer.

side note: it would be cool if she made it as an artists though and lived a fulfilling life. I'm just clueless when it comes to the art world and how to not be poor. Maybe it's different in the US but the UK is a fucking depressing place if you're at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder.

A highly contagious disease like COVID19 simply can’t only spread to people who don’t travel.

The timeline of this disease being spread from August 2019 is incompatible with a lot of what we empirically know about the virus, and should be treated as wrong.
Flatpak has a package split into three parts: a program itself, a runtime, and a SDK. Runtime includes common libraries a program is usually required, and SDK includes a development counterpart of them.

Flatpak program is pinned to a runtime version, e.g. org.freedesktop.Platform//18.08 (with 18.08 being a major version) of which receives security updates periodically. When user installed a package, Flatpak will install a program and its runtime to Flatpak directory.

If a program only depends on libraries in a runtime (and not requiring any bundled dependencies) then packager won't need to worry about upgrading those libraries at all, as updating a runtime will update those dependencies.

This sounds like fraud.

Person A would have an asset worth X/2, in the form of his contract with person B. When A declares bankruptcy, his X/2 would be used to partially pay his debtors. This only way this scheme works is if A conceals this during the bancrupty. For comically large X, you can expect to have a team of lawyers and forensic accountants look through your books. If they catch on, you get nothing except a potential fraud conviction.
Yeah, it depends where the money is thrown.

Experiments in Brazil and India suggest that the really simple, dumb solution works best: give poor people money, no strings attached.

Sure, they'll waste some of it. But not all that much, maybe a third. To economists, that's very effective targeting.

(If you demand perfect targeting and use of funds here, why not with private-sector investments (67%-90% loss rate) or 'normal' government investments (50% - 75% losses)? )

The efficient market hypothesis says nothing of the sort. Upside and downside with options aren't symmetrical.

Unlike when purchasing long positions in stocks, when trading options it's possible to lose many times more money than you initially put in. You also really can't ignore the spreads. Market makers win pretty consistently and everyone else is playing a worse than zero-sum game.

Ideally, it would be great for a country to have systems in place so that the worst you can possibly lose is less than everything.
>Is that what robinhood is supposed to be?

Their idea is that they give everyone access to the financial markets, and that allows them access to wealth. My point is their name is playing on... Robin Hood who "took from the rich and gave to the needy".

But in reality it's just become another way for the rich to milk people who don't have that much money to lose anyways.

It completes the stated part of the mission, but completely forsakes the implied part of it.

> The reason why they wouldn't "get into" the other brokerages is because they transact in such small amounts that they'll lose most of their capital on trading fees. I don't see anything wrong with letting people make small trades that they wouldn't have otherwise been able to make.

My point is, they won't lose most of their capital unless they're day trading, or at least trading very aggressively. And that's wholly at odds with actually making money if you don't know what you're doing. If their goal was to create a gambling app, we already have Draft Kings...

I mean, take their options trading for example. First off, the mobile app has a guided view for people who don't really get options to trade options. Ignoring the... strangeness there. It will actively recommend options that are just pure fucking insanity. So far out of the money, with such insane expiry dates, that your odds are literally worse than the lottery. And to top it off, half of them don't even have volume! So even if you do somehow start to approach any semblance of profit, you can't sell!

They're so far OTM and with such low volume that they don't even make sense as "YOLO"s, they are literally recommending losing money for no reason. And it'll characterize them as "short term, high risk" when there are OTM options that are short term high risk, for marginally more money, with infinitely higher chances of profit! Why would you take someone who literally needs to be explained that puts are bearish, and show them this as the first option?!

These people are told options are risky, see these incredibly stupid positions, get no mention of the Greeks, no mention of volume (it won't even show any of this unless you drill down into another view!), and take Robinhood's suggestion "I came here for risky, it says this is risky, must be what I'm looking for".

> How about we let the users take personal responsibility?

How on earth is that at odds with warning users they should be ready to leave their money in the stock market for long periods of time, are you daft?

The thing that really makes things worse is that the police are causing most of these protests and riots with their violent, unwarranted behavior.

This triggers riots and protests, which require the police to work overtime.

They get paid for causing all these problems, and well paid. Their overtime costs must be tremendous. And who ends up paying? We do.

We should claw back police overtime pay for any protests or riots that are caused by the police themselves. I think that's fair and equitable.
