Government issued ID's are not mandatory nor is seatbelt use on any private property.
To be honest that topic people can debate. Men are allowed to walk around without a shirt. Women breastfeed in public pretty frequently.

There is however a long history and tradition of humans wearing clothing to cover their genitals. Even very primitive societies have this norm, and it has pretty obvious reasons behind it.
> The argument is just a basic restatement of property rights - people own that which they've purchased through trading goods, services, or money.

Your contention is that some institutions count as property rights (contract law etc), but taxation law doesn't. I'm telling you the line between them that you draw is drawn purely with ideology.

Taxation law isn't some adjustment that takes place after property law, it is part of property law. $X of tax paid by party A that ends up funding $X of social security payments to party B, literally belongs to party B. It is the property of party B. Not party A. It is not "someone else's" in any way.
The 4a has extra storage over the base 4 as well. I don't know what Google was thinking.
dehumanizing to not see them in person, and perhaps just see a photo of them somewhere outside the court.
Rent control in most places means you cannot increase the rent more than x% per year, where x is fairly low. If the rent is decreasing, you are not allowed to put it back to the original level if the difference is larger than x, so you need to do x% per year for several years just to revert to previous levels.
Givewell decided to make this recommendation despite ongoing disputes in the literature. There was so much uncertainty about the long-term effects that at least as of 2016, they actually discounted the expected benefit by 100x. See https://blog.givewell.org/2016/12/06/why-i-mostly-believe-in...
> You have millions of people scammed by Indian call center scammers by taking advantage of terrible Windows security.

You know where all of those scams come from? Targeted Google Ads... So yeah, Google being able to sell and target ads is extremely dangerous, especially when they enable ads to be targeted at vulnerable populations like senior citizens.

Funny story, the attack chain here starts with Google Ads, usually to push a Google Chrome extension in the Chrome Web Store, and then people end up letting a scammer onto their PC. And yet "terrible Windows security" is what you are worried about?

I have been asking Google and Googlers alike to address these concerns for years, and Google's movement on it is far too slow, because the systems they use are far too profitable to change.

If we’re having this much trouble sorting out individual egos and absolutist ideologies with masks, where the choice is so simple and risk-free, we are REALLY going to be in the soup when vaccines start to come out.
I recently went back to an iPhone 6s while my iPhone XS was in for repairs. Boy, did I miss FaceID (though some of the pain was also due to the change in certain key combinations and gestures between home button and notch iPhones, I had to go back in time and re-learn some old habits).

Why did I miss it? Because FaceID will unlock the notification area and its associated actions before I perform any action or even touch the phone.

Let’s say I get a text, my phone is on the night stand. I just look at it and it already unlocks, no reaching.

It lets you skip a step and start interacting with the screen before the phone has unlocked. Perhaps less of a big deal with the back-mounted fingerprint sensor, in that case I could interact with the thumb simultaneous to unlocking the back.

Using password managers was another big one. Instead of tapping the auto fill button, then tapping the fingerprint sensor, it was all one click. Opening bank apps, same thing. FaceID is always one less finger motion.

Mask wearing has thrown a wrench into it but Apple has added logic to quickly bring up the pin pad when it detects a face mask. Also, sometimes it seems to learn my masked face, but that’s less reliable.

I don’t know how this compares to Pixel face unlocking at all, admittedly.

And I never understood why Apple didn’t use the rear mounted fingerprint sensor. But I do understand why they think the benefits of face unlocking outweigh the drawbacks.

Some examples not related to the action of unlocking: when your alarm goes off, the noise gets quiet when you look at the phone. Also, the screen won’t time out and turn off while your eyes are looking at it.

Sorry, but this doesn't sound like "no strong evidence":

Without adjustments for other variables, the two intervention groups had about a 10% reduction in overall ILI incidence over the 6 weeks compared with the control group, but this was not statistically significant.

However, when the researchers analyzed the ILI rates for each week of the study and adjusted for other variables (age, sex, ethnicity, baseline hand washing practices, sleep quality, alcohol use, flu vaccination), they found that the FMHH group had significantly lower rates than the controls in weeks 4, 5, and 6 (35%, 44%, and 51%, respectively).

The adjusted rates for the mask-only group also were lower than those of the control group in weeks 4, 5, and 6, with reductions ranging from 28% to 42%, but this did not meet the authors' significance criterion of P<.025.

The authors say several factors may explain why a significant reduction in ILI was found only during the second half of the intervention period. One is that recruitment of students continued through the first 2 weeks of the intervention, increasing the sample size by 11%. Also, the proportion of FMHH participants who wore their masks more than the average 3.5 hours a day increased in the later weeks of the study, and confirmed flu cases on campus peaked in weeks 4 and 5.
Because I shouldn't have to wear a mask when I am riding my bike alone in the woods, or when I am walking my dog. It is uncomfortable, and outside transmission is rare so it is not that beneficial. We have to find a balance between saving lives, and taking away comfort and freedoms, just like we do with things like cars.
While that's fair, very few people are (nor should they) swapping out their devices every year.
In the case of seatbelts, you have a big change in human tradition. There are very few societies that have ever required all people to wear seatbelts all the time. I can't think of any examples. A small handful of modern societies require it for specific subgroups, but that's it.
Generally, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. In the case of seatbelts, I want to see very strong evidence that seatbelts are very necessary, and other approaches wouldn't have similar or better results with lower change to human tradition. So far, I haven't seen that at all. The scientific evidence that seatbelts are effective or necessary is weak. Alternate approaches (eg. improved driver training) may be just as effective.
The examples you cite have roots in human tradition, and have been established for many years, mostly with strong evidence.

Depending on how they do it and the location for many areas temporary "discounts" do not effect the "base rent" but in many areas discounts are considered altering the "base rent" and would basically permanently ruin any chance of making money on a piece of property. Can't even sell it if you get stuck with a low base rent as normally rent control forces the rate to pass between owner with very few exceptions meaning no one would buy the land off you.
Rent control. It makes more sense to keep the place vacant than to reduce the base rent, which could take decades to make up.

Huh?

Does NYC have rent control for businesses? I doubt it. That's for apartments.

>>>As I reviewed the previous work and struggled to understand the queries, I felt like SQL wasn’t the right tool for the job — it was getting in the way of progress. So I paused, took a step back and looked for an alternative approach.

Not sure why the author thought SQL wasn't the right tool as he glosses over this justification. It seems to me like a time series or sorting problem. The challenge was inserting meta data and then sorting. This relates to problem with query language but the article seems to imply the problem was somehow solved with GO. Either way my knowledge on this subject is limited and probably much shallower than the author.

Some educational programs have excellent results in short term, but the effect disappears in long term. For example, do some extra activities with kids during the first grade, and they will have measurably better outcomes in the second grade, but will be indistinguishable from their peers by the fifth grade.
That is good to know. Definitely agree with you on that. I am one of those people whom too much data doesn't scare away.

Interestingly if you account for height discrimination, it causes women to be over-represented in management roles, implying that what's normally ascribed to sex discrimination is really height discrimination and the sex discrimination, if anything, goes the other way. A 5'6" man is less likely to be in management than a 5'6" woman.

It also implies that if we solved height discrimination there would be a lot more female CEOs.
I'm probably gonna sell my Pixel 4 at a loss and get one of these instead. Can anyone explain why I shouldn't?

Study: Experiencing Childhood Trauma Makes Body and Brain Age Faster
It's actually relatively straightforward to get Medicaid coverage for children in the US. There is a specific program to cover them (and pregnant women).

https://www.medicaid.gov/chip/index.html

"The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is a joint federal and state program that provides health coverage to uninsured children in families with incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid, but too low to afford private coverage."
Welcome to the real world?

This is in everything.

That said, you don't want to be too attractive - rather, nice symmetry, good proportions, healthy looking, but generally not attractive like a model.

Height and even girth for men, but only height for women as weight is a negative for them (I'm loathed to find the source for this, sorry).

One of the only fields where 'well turned out' folks are naturally viewed with scepticism ironically is software! Either by way of reason (ie nobody who spends that much time looking good has spent enough time on algorithms!) or by jealousy (ie it's unfair that this attractive person is as smart as me!) I think we tend to love 'true geek' flair. It's probably mostly a healthy bias ...

Edit: I should add 'nice teeth'. Seriously, 'nice teeth' are the ultimate mark of class in an ostensibly classless society. Like in the UK, the oddly huge variety of accents immediately projects one's origin (and thus class, however totally unfair it seems to be that way, at very least subconsciously), 'perfect teeth' are generally uncommon in nature, more likely it means one's parents could afford the $5K in braces etc. for their kids, which is still not entirely widespread. It's not something I think we think of consciously, but my gosh 'nice teeth' make a really 'nice smile' and it has such a big social impact without us ever really realising it.

I agree and have been there in terms of looming depression preventing you from getting the basic human activities done, but I can't separate that depression from the spirit of my comment either. It was largely related to feeling trapped by our western work culture.

In terms of the basic activities of living, it can still help to address the aversion to the task head on by realizing the actual nature of the task.

The task isn't what it appears, but is in fact just a concept we impute to aggregate phenomena.

Is washing dishes standing at the sink? No.
Is washing dishes the running water? No.
Is washing dishes holding a single plate and sponge? No.
Is washing dishes dispensing soap onto the sponge? No.

Washing dishes is the combination of several interdependent causes.

Tasks that we're averse to are simply aggregations of various other imputed concepts, and so the unified activity that triggers our sense of aversion isn't actually based on anything substantial.

Speaking personally, aversion arises for me a lot of the time as a sense of lost time to one activity or another, but the concept of 'just being' suggests that whatever activity you do is perfectly fine on a fundamental level.

No time is wasted because every activity you do is 'of one taste' essentially - it's all the same in terms of being aggregate phenomena wrapped up into a unified concept by humans that triggers aversion based on our individual conditioning.

So realizing that the aversion isn't real and substantial, reflect on the positive nature of completing the task and the positive effects it will have. Instead of repressing your negative thoughts (forcefully not thinking), see them as insubstantial.

Thanks for your reply :)

He talks about fixing Exceptions in c++, what is wrong with exceptions in c++ and how would you fix those? Go does not have exceptions, but I don't think Go's method of checking for error on every step and doing early returns is more elegant.
I'd contend that a display that spans a dynamic range of a factor of 100 is only a 6.7-bit display. It is impossible to calibrate such a display to span 8 bits of intensity.

It isn't the maximal intensity that matters, (to the extent that the viewer's eye can adapt to the differences in intensity between displays), but rather the number of subdivisions available between peak intensity and darkness.

Totally agreed that improved bit-depth improves gradations/banding. An N+1-bit display has N bits between half-intensity and full intensity, twice as many bits as an N-bit display has.

Another way to see that this matters is that imaging sensors are generally linear in their response to impinging light. The optimal way to display the output from a 14-bit sensor is a 14-bit (or higher) display.
Presumably all those investors whining about large cash balances are singing a slightly different tune now.
An essential feature of abstract things is that they do not exist independently and in their own right. For example, this chair or that man (whose name is John) are concrete objects. However, the concepts "chair" and "man" are abstract. They do not exist in themselves as such. The same can be said for something like "brown", an attribute that, let's say, is instantiated by both the chair and by John in some way, but which cannot exist by itself as such. So we can say that "chair", "man" and "brown" all exist "in" these concrete things (or more precisely, determine these things to be those things or in those ways). However, apart from those things that instantiate them, these forms also exist somewhere else, namely, the intellect. However, they exist in our intellects without instantiating them. Otherwise, we would literally have to have a chair or a man or something brown in our intellects the moment we thought these things. So you have a problem. You have a kind of substratum in which these forms can exist without being those things. That does not sound like matter because when those forms exist in matter, they always exist as concrete instantiations of those things.

W.r.t. derived intentionality, the relation that obtains here between a signifier and the signified is in the mind of the observer. When you read "banana", you know what I mean because the concept, in all its intrinstic intentionality and semantic content, already exists in your intellect and you have learned that that string of symbols is meant to refer to that concept. I could, however, take a non-English speaker and mischievously teach them that "banana" refers to what you and I would use the term "apple" to mean. No intrinsic relation exists between the signifier and the concept. However, there is an intrinsic relation that obtains between concepts and their instantiations. The concept "banana" is what it means to be a banana. So the derived intention involves two relations, namely, one between the signifier and the concept (which is a matter of arbitrary convention) and another relation between the concept and the signified, which necessarily obtains between the two. Derived intentionality is parasitic on intrinsic intentionality. The former requires the latter.

So what is meant when we say that computers do not possess concepts (i.e., abstract things), only derived intentionality, we mean that computers are, for all intents and purposes, syntactic machines composed of symbols and symbol manipulation rules (I would go further and say that what that describes are really abstract computing models like Turing machines, whereas physical computers are merely used to simulate these abstract machines).

Now, my whole point earlier was that if we presuppose a materialist metaphysical account of matter, we will be unable to account for intrinsic intentionality. This is a well known problem. And if we cannot account for intrinstic intentionality, then we certainly cannot make sense of derived intentionality.
" A 5'6" man is less likely to be in management than a 5'6" woman."

Maybe a better way to put it, an 'average height female is more likely to be in management than a below-average height male'.
