So the thing is, since WWII we've switched pretty evenly between the 'left' party and the 'right' party at the national level. All administrations/Congresses have been quick to sell us out to foreign and corporate interests, whether it's Bush going to war for oil or Obama forcing everyone to buy health insurance.

Can't speak for the OP, but for myself: I am not qualified to evaluate the evidence in this case; I just don't have the biology background. But sometimes when you get some out-there questionable sounding stuff research, and you spend a minute googling, you quickly find out that the journal the thing is published in is chaired by the author and itself has no credibility, the author is selling some form of snake oil directly supported by the dubious claims, and similar. Sure technically their argument ought to stand on it's own anyway, but there are so many quacks out there and so little time. It's a useful optimization.

Is there any research claiming that giant executive bonuses, in this case seemingly at the expense of the company they govern, is optimal for some macroeconomic quality that benefits the society at large? Or do we allow this behavior because we believe it is immoral to prevent giant executive bonuses as a matter of principle?

Einstein's special relativity had lots of evidence backing it up in that existing (Galilean) relativity was completely at odds with electromagnetism. The speed of light is constant, Newton was wrong.

In this situation there is no smoking gun to prove it was made in a lab.
It is possible (and yes, I tried it!), although other payment methods are available, including some more conventional methods.
I do indeed! I’ve sent USD, GBP, and Euros from all over the world - Europe, North Africa, South America, and the US. (I was a “digital nomad” pre-pandemic.) They even give you a one-time-use token for cash payments so you can maintain the anonymity of your account number if the letter is intercepted.

Other than the letter I sent from Morocco, I never included a return address.

It seems to be a problem with the USB controller driver in circle. Startup hangs with the message "XHCI: HW reset failed".

I was under the impression that the hardware of the 8GB Raspberry Pi 4 was identical to the versions with less memory except for (obviously) the memory chip and some fixes for USB-C power delivery. Maybe it's a subtle timing problem - another item on my to-do list...
You could argue the people responsible for the decisions that resulted in the company going bankrupt aren’t the good people.
Justifying things you do - atrocious and anti-democratic or not - by citing widely shared ideals is a pillar of any kind of politics. To claim that sending feds into cities is like Jim Crow in a meaningful sense because it was also justified with widely shared ideals is ridiculous.
May be my AI tasks are to simplistic, but I never had problem training AI on single machine and as many pointed out there always cloud services, otherwise I find it an impressive work, it takes some courage to say well there so many huge companies with there's frameworks, but we can outperform them all in specific problems.

Couple things that stood out from github page:

Currently we only support homogenous multi-agent envs (same observation/action space for all agents, same episode duration).

For simplicity we actually treat all environments as multi-agent environments with 1 agent.

My speculation is that this why they gained such dramatic performance improvement. (but I might be very wrong)
Sunscreen Application and Plasma Concentration of Sunscreen Active Ingredients
People already use ad blockers on YouTube which have a similar effect, so this isn't a unique "problem" to NewPipe. I also directly financially support creators whose content I enjoy and most large creators these days have advertisements embedded in their videos, as well as asking for support through means other than AdSense.

But more importantly, the main reason I use NewPipe is because it has basic features that the official YouTube app doesn't provide -- playing videos in an overlay and in the background (so you can lock your screen and continue playing the video). You can get this incredibly basic feature if you pay for YouTube Red, which seems to indicate the only reason this feature isn't provided for the free version is spite. And that is the benefit of free software.
It would be inappropriate to infer that the OP was advocating for unicorns.
This is what I'm talking about. I want to preface this with: I've voted blue ticket my entire life...

The numbers just do not back this claim up. NY/NJ/CT all have the absolute worst outcomes so far. NY and Gov Cuomo couldn't be more adored by the media. Meanwhile the red south and others that never locked down are sitting at about 10% the deaths of the blue northeast.

You can say wait two weeks, but we've been waiting two weeks on AZ, FL, and GA, for about 6 weeks now. Cases have gone up but deaths have not. Current trends suggest they will tick up, but they will not go vertical.

So I'm not sure what the real problem is that you point to.
It's certainly unsavory. What would the legal basis for that suit be? Would it be simpler to have Congress stake a claim than to have the judiciary make a decision with a legal code that remains muted on the issue?
There are reasons to be inflexible on pay. I imagine it works enough of the time, and a candidate will accept the lower pay. I hypothesize also that inflexible pay policies make it more difficult to be accused of discriminatory pay practices.

To be empathetic, there's a 4th group of parents, those who can't really help. A single mom of 2 that used to rely on school and day care to work is between a rock and a hard place now. Either they work and are able to put food on the table but the kids suffer, or they help the kids and underperform at work and risk unemployment. I think most people chose putting bread on the table.
Weren't the spring breakers mostly from out of state?
> They will have grown up during unprecedented social unrest.

No, they won't. The almost continuous post-war race riots and civil rights protests of the 1940s-1960s (overlapping with the anti-war protests of the 1960s), the intense period of labor and race riots in the interwar period, and...well, it goes on and on as you go back to and before the Revolutionary period.

Not unprecedented, or even close.
You argument appears to be that I should focus on a strawman instead of evaluating the evidence.
I actually chose stomp over eradicate because I wanted to imply that there would still be some left but that it would be a manageable amount. That's interesting that you took it the opposite way; I'm sorry for the confusion.

I agree, eradication was probably impossible in the United States. What I thought we all agreed on at the start of this thing was to lock down so we could "flatten the curve". Remember that? While we were locked down there would be an enormous marshaling of resources so we could equip everyone with PPE/Masks, get testing going, and do contract tracing. But because we didn't lock down the entire nation we snuffed out the hot spots in Washington and New York but let new ones fester and they are now out of control.

I trust VPN services for the one thing they're good and useful for: hopping over geo-fences for content.

You should not have any expectation of privacy or security from consumer VPN services (if you want that, obtain Tor Browser or Tails as your needs require). They provide a means to choose roughly where your client traffic comes from, and that's it. The rest is marketing bullshit.

They're probably sufficient for low-key deflection of DMCA notices if you're torrenting shit--rightsholder enforcement companies aren't exactly able to undertake nation-state level investigations for what they do.
>What about chaining VPNs?

You could even do it multiple times, like... 7. You would then be, basically, "behind 7 proxies". /s
One of the main points of the lockdowns were to get the infection rate down to a level where testing and tracing is tractable, not to outright eliminate the virus necessarily. It seems like most states in the US were not prepared for that when they decided to open back up, and now places like FL are in this impossible situation — how do you trace 10k+ infections a day?
Provider#1 only knows all traffic goes to provider#2. Provider#2 knows everywhere your traffic goes. They don’t know your IP, but you need to login, so they know who you are anyways.

Well, they are throwing unspecified bottles of liquid at them, so they're not peaceful protesters either.
Thank you for helping OP articulate their extremely good point.
> From my perspective, the "modern web" is absolutely insane.

You know, it should be even better than it was in the past, because a lot of heavy lifting is now done on the client. If we properly optimized our stuff, we could potentially request tiny pieces of information from servers, as opposed to rendering the whole thing.

Kinda like native apps can do(if the backend protocols are not too bloated)
Teachers are so under appreciated. It takes a lot of knowledge, training, and some have years and years of experience on how to make kids pay attention to the class and study. I am trying really hard at home but there's no way I can even match any of the teachers my son has at his school on almost everything they do.
Not only that, it selects for children that have learned to trust other people's promises. If you have learned that a promised reward will never materialize, the rational choice is to take the treat now.
This paper is not evidence, it is speculation based on an inability to see a path other than gain-of-function lab work. These coronaviruses are slow to evolve due to their proofreading capabilities but they recombine readily. The natural path, therefore, is a wild animal (likely pangolin, civet, raccoon dog, or even human) that is simultaneously co-infected by two viruses that recombine.

The problem with genome data centric analysis is that no distinction is made between RNA samples and virus isolates. Key evidence for the gain-of-function hypothesis, is one or more lab isolates that match long segments of the SARS-CoV-2 genome, including non-coding segments.
Why not have older teachers that are more at risk teach from home via video? Then have a younger proctor coordinate with kids in the classroom.

Last year, I started a Substack for fun.

It is about investing in stocks but with a venture capital mindset (my background is in tech and vc)

For me the audience seems to come in waves because right now I work full time and I haven't focused on marketing much.

but here is what has worked for me so far:

1) write high quality content (i think it's better to write fewer articles but more high quality). This is your best marketing.

2) To start off, tell your family, friends, and co-workers about it - I find them to be supportive and will sign up if you ask, but frankly only the ones interested in the subject matter will actually regularly read the emails. That said, they will give you real feedback.

3) Interest based groups like fb groups can help sometimes

4) twitter - when i participate in the conversation regularly, this can help a lot actually.

5) Rmr what I said about high quality content - Some people actually contacted me about my SS and wanted to talk on the phone/zoom etc. They usually shared the site with their friends/audience after our conversation. One linked me from their blog which drove a lot of traffic. I think this is a great way if you can make it happen.

Overall, I find I have a good sign up rate from folks interested in investing + innovation, and people interested in investing with options.

Anyway good luck!
It's legal to be a bad person in the United States. The government is purposely mute on the matter of the morals of its citizens. As a democracy, the principle that allows us to prevent this behavior, if we deem it unacceptable, is to codify it in law, and make the specific behavior illegal.
You have to remember there's a lot of seconds in a day, that's only 60 qps.
Nice. Just discovered that you can open videos from the official YouTube client by using the "Share" menu and selecting NewPipe. It has multiple options, including download/open/open as popup.

This make it much more useful for me, I can still have access to my YouTube account but I can open the actual videos in NewPipe and skip ads/have more control of the playback options.

Also, this bug from official YouTube app does not happen in NewPipe, making it much more useful to me since I use a custom caption settings because Amazon Prime Video (but they look horrible in official YouTube app because there is no outline): https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/e935yz/bug_caption...
> The idea that you need some globally redundant Kubernetes cluster with auto fail-over capabilities seems to be popular but in practice it's totally not necessary in so many cases

True, but this is why it shouldn't be bashed either. When you need it, you need it (cue very complex enterprise applications with SLA requirements).
Could they? I suppose they could concatenate ads into the video files directly, sort of like an old TV "stream"...

...except I have a decades-old VCR that can skip those too, so the technology today could probably deal with that pretty easily.

"ad-bypassing" is essentially choosing not to consume content; while most if not all DRM and other protections are for preventing people from consuming content, preventing them from not consuming content is nearly impossible unless you essentially have control over their minds.
It's not that Microsoft is following in Googles footsteps, it's the other way around. Microsoft just gets to feel the other side of the stick for a change. Googles time will come too one day.

That's why we have this bloated over-engineered multi-node applications: People just underestimate how fast modern computing is. To serve ~2^6 requests/sec is trivial.

According to the article it's a loophole

> Under a 2005 bankruptcy law, companies are banned, with few exceptions, from paying executives retention bonuses while in bankruptcy. But the firms seized on a loophole by granting payouts before filing.
This was necessarily going to happen at some point and I hope it serves as a cautionary tale to not blindly trust "no logs" claims.
>Then don't do that.

You'll be stuck with the shadiest, slowest, most remote VPS in the world if you're unwilling to either give up your personal identity, or lie about it.
Who is the genius that says image ID costs dollars per image?
A grid of 49 images is presented.ID the top left image (the longest time), The other 48 frames are scanned and ticked if they arethe same as or close to the top left. End click and all the identified images go away and the field is populated and the task repeated. Same or new top left does not matter, you have 500 of these 'tiny Turks' each dealing with 49 images in 3-5 seconds. Duplication can be used to polish it. You can also only use images grabbed on roads at all angles. This can be highly automated and optimised (slows and error makers = assigned other jobs).
This will get you down to pennies per image and if an AI is trained into it, even less.
> Maybe they want to retain the execs to fix the mess?

Then make this a part of their executive employment contract.
This isn’t a right-wing situation but a real valid concern given plenty of reports between gerrymandering, polling center availability and security, chain of custody, paper processing, electronic machine hacks, suspect company backgrounds, etc.

The major problem is you can’t measure it in the first place because there is no truth set. Unless you can follow up with every single individual and confirm their vote, you dont have the data.
I imagine its similar to buying a firearm. You need an FFL to receive it and they background you same as they would a gun. However the FFL needs a special license for grenades as well.

Edit for those who dont know:

You can order guns online but they must be shipped to a qualified FFL. They must keep records of having done a background check and all that (same as buying in person). As an FFL you could be audited at any moment so you dont wanna screw around or the ATF might come down on you hard. Honestly the last agency I want coming to arrest me is ATF looking at their history of shooting peoples dogs. Its like they think they are above all other agencies and do whatever to arrest people.

I could not find a reliable source that ascribes Japan's relative success to masks. Some ideas are discussed in https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-53188847 .

I think its china saying we have special requirements for our internet and we should standardize that some networks should have different requirements then the rest of the internet (Like we want to require nodes of our network to be authenticated, so that they cant be part of our network unless we say so). Its them wanting to be able to fork the internet, and still call their lockdown version of the internet.

> Isn't that the whole point of science?

No, Carl Sagan's famous "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" is certainly not the whole point of science. At best it's merely a useful heuristic for judging how much effort to put into researching a particular claim.

Trying to use that argument as the basis for science is highly problematic because how do you know what constitutes an "extraordinary claim" ? Claims can only be evaluated against the current state of scientific knowledge, which is itself in a state of constant evolution and which has also undergone and will continue to undergo many revolutions.

The core of science is the use of repeatable methods which can be verified by anyone (so very similar in spirit to open source software). The gold standards for such methods are random controlled experiments and rigorous mathematical proofs. However in many fields these methods aren't available and weaker ones must be used. Then you can certainly get into much discussion on the strength of the methods used as well as the interpretations of the results.
Also, standing isn't optimal for humans. Be honest, would you prefer to stand still for 30 minutes (like in a line), or would you rather walk for 30 minutes?
