More importantly, I agree with parent that expressing views is something else than actively exploiting someone or using violence. Words != violence. Tolerance is being able to co-exist, work with and even be friends with people we disagree with. And, yes, that include people we think are intolerant (or that will be the excuse not to do the hard thing and engage in debate).

Open debate is a good thing, and it was hard won. Let's not throw it away so quickly.

We've tossed it around, but ultimately we believe that our customers buy Tailwind UI because Steve and I designed/built it, and we've built a lot of trust in our community over the last 4-5 years. I wouldn't want to be a full-time QA person either.

Hoping instead that we can find the right small team size that lets us do more of this in a first-party way, and selectively support the tools we find people ask for the most.

Could definitely see a world where we work with experts in different technologies to port our stuff over and maintain it under some sort of retainer agreement though, just don't see us ever giving up any of the actual UI design or initial implementation work.
You would think, but California is a weird world where often it does take that long.
An interest rate that makes whatever you're doing with the loan not worth doing is effectively a "no"

If you're gonna develop properties and the up front investment looks like it will take 10yr to pay off vs 5yr to pay off then that severely constrains the kind of development you can justify doing. You'll have to pick something safer which isn't necessarily the kind of development you want do to do. It's not banks and interest rates that are at fault here. All sorts of local permitting BS, laws about professional certifications, etc, etc, add up and compound each other to create a business environment where two development options are "tear down historic building and build spec luxury condos" or "tear down historic buildings and build a big box store".

And this business environment feeds itself as developers, banks, regulators, construction firms, etc, etc. get well practiced at it making them more hesitant to do business with people who want to do any other kind of development thereby raising costs (supply and demand).

Frankly I think this is all BS that could largely be solved if government got out of (or at least less involved in) the business of infringing on people's property rights.

That's what $$$ upgrades are for. No need for a subscription if I'm happy without the new features and happy using it on an old OS. I'm happy to pay for new features I might actually use. I'm happy to pay for upgrades for a new OS. As an example though, I used to get by upgrading Adobe Photoshop at most about once every 4 years at a cost of about $200 or $50 a year. Now they extract out of me $480 ($120 a year) for features I don't actually use. In fact I'm pretty sure I use zero features past CS2 (2003) and like I said was fine paying them $200 every 4 years for the OS upgrades but now I just feel taken advantage off.

Blender 2.8 has a new redesigned user interface that is a lot easier to use. It's definitely worth trying again if you haven't recently! It's still insanely complicated of course, but that just comes with the territory. There are many great tutorials available, but make sure you're looking at recent ones, since so much has changed for the better in 2.8.

Wait a minute... what happened to "we are against the CCP, not the Chinese people" and "the Chinese people and the CCP are separate"?

There is no concrete evidence of spying. Tiktok is a private company. Yes one or more people in Tiktok may have ties with CCP members. But doesn't banning the whole of Tiktok, without concrete evidence, based merely on some level of association with CCP (and the level of association isn't even clear or proven at this point), then how can people still claim "the Chinese people and the CCP are separate"?

It seems more like we're moving more and more towards "anything and everybody from China equals CCP and the whole of China is evil".
This is missing what really matters (business wise) for a product roadmap: ROIC.

Most product roadmaps I see tie strongly to what additional markets/ customers can be served by the enhanced features. That justifies the continued investment in the product-line by the business.

A very quick and easy google turns up the “Exon–Florio Amendment”. It was actually created because they were worried about Japanese investments in the 80s.

The president can review foreign investments and determine if there is a nation security risk. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) does the reviews.

> he concluded that we have free will to veto these choices

That's circular. The brain makes a decision, then the brain can choose to veto it? Where does the decision to veto come from?

Free will as you're describing is an impossibility: To even come up with the idea of vetoing something, there must be some process in the brain that's started by "something else", and the something else must be also possible to veto ad infinitum.

Think for yourself instead of just accepting what the experimentallist suggests you should conclude.
It does look great though now that I think of it I've never seen anyone share audio on mastodon before; maybe this new change could help build musician communities on Mastodon.
Okay, so intentionality is essential to information. Let's take your example of the pixels on your screen.

There is nothing intrinsic to those pixels or that arrangement of pixels that points to the state of your brain. That doesn't mean there isn't a causal history the effect of which are those physical pixel states. It is, however, entirely a matter of convention how those pixels are arranged by the designers and how they must be interpreted in conformity with the intended convention. You must bring with you the hermeneutic baggage, so to speak, that allows you to interpret those pixels in the manner intended by the designers. Those same pixels will signify something else within a different context and it is the observer that needs to have the contextual information to be able to interpret them in conformity with the designer's intentions. Furthermore, the designers of the program could have chosen to cause different pixels to light up to convey the same information. They could have instead caused those pixels to resemble, in aggregate, English language sentences that, when interpreted, describe the image of the state in your brain. But there is nothing about those pixels qua pixels that can tell you anything about your brain state. The meaning of each pixel is just that it is a pixel in a particular state, and the meaning of the aggregate of pixels is that they are an aggregate of pixels, each in a particular state. You can call that supervenience in that the meaning of the aggregate follows from the meanings of individual constituting pixels, but none of that changes the fact that the pixel states as such, whether individually or in aggregate, do not intrinsically mean your brain state. This is analogous to written text. A human actor with some meaning in mind causes blobs of ink to be arranged in some way on paper in accordance with some convention. Those blobs of ink are just blobs of ink no matter how many there are or how they're arranged. The reader, which is to say the interpreter, must bring with him a mental dictionary of conventions (a grammar) that relates symbols and arrangements of symbols to meanings to be able to reconstruct the meaning intended by the author. The meaning (or information) is in no way in the text even if it influences what meaning the interpreter attaches to it.

As Feser notes[0], Searle calls this derived intentionality which is different from intrinsic intentionality (thoughts are one example of the latter). So I do not agree that anything abstract is happening in your panel of flashing lightbulbs.

> Banks don't use race as criteria for loans, just as auto insurance companies don't use race as criteria for setting rates.

If this article is correct, then this claim is wrong. Banks may not directly use race as a criteria, but the claim is that they use race as a criteria for property value, and then use property value as a criteria for loans:

> Five of his properties were in a decent state of repair and some had sitting tenants, while three needed a complete refurbishment. ...One bank finally sent someone on location to assess his properties 12 weeks later. They valued the buildings at zero dollars and just over a dollar per square foot for the land only. As the rules for most banks say a property must be valued at a minimum of $50,000 (£39,000) to get a line of credit against it, his case was shut.

Counting a building with active tenants paying rent as being valued at $0 is ridiculous.
"In other words I think you can bail early without revealing too much, with a suitable data encoding."

Maybe, but whatever that is would not be encryption. An FHE scheme is still a public key encryption scheme, so it should not be possible to compute any predicate over the message without having access to the private key. The homomorphic property allows you to compute a new ciphertext that will decrypt to the result of a computation, but that new ciphertext will still completely hide the plaintext.

Basically the reason you cannot "bail out early" is that FHE does not allow you to see an indicator value to tell you when to do so -- any such value would itself be encrypted. If it were not, then it would reveal "something" about the inputs; coupled with the fact that the inputs can always be modified (by e.g. changing the function that is being computed), that would be a complete break.

The only good technique we have right now for addressing this problem is to use some kind of interaction between multiple parties, which allows sublinear random access and can allow branching (and thus early loop terminations etc.). There are cases where that works well and there are many real-world use-cases of those techniques (I work on this for a large tech company). The tradeoff is that you need to do a lot of communication, which is typically more expensive than computation, and if too many parties are offline the computation will not proceed (in the two party case nobody can be offline). You also need to trust the parties not to collude with each other, which is sometimes a concern in practice.

Musical.ly was sold 2017.
My (certainly naive and not backed by any knowledge) opinion is that nowadays it's much easier to make it as a nobody. That's why it's happening so much, and they're all competing with each other.

> There is no concrete evidence of spying.

No but there's evidence of CCP propaganda already, just try to make a video about Taiwan, Hong-Kong or the insecurity issues within China and notice your account being banned.

And before anyone tells me "it's the same as Facebook", I can go right now on Facebook and find as much anti-american or anti-Trump content as you want.

> But doesn't banning the whole of Tiktok, without concrete evidence, based merely on some level of association with CCP (and the level of association isn't even clear at this point)

The level of association is pretty clear, unless you have no knowledge on how large companies operates in China.

> It seems more like we're moving more and more towards "anything and everybody from China equals CCP and the whole of China is evil".

No, I'm only against the CCP, maybe one day the Chinese people will have the government they deserve.
Return on invested capital (ROIC) is a calculation used to assess a company's efficiency at allocating the capital under its control to profitable investments.
My understanding is that the average of average costs to obtain a customer is relatively unchanged over the years. Even going back to well before the internet existed, the numbers are relatively equal.

So we have all these platform vacuuming up massive volumes of personal data so that companies and organizations can target individuals with surgical precision.... and it might not be any more effective on the aggregate than traditional advertising in the 60s.

I assume by higher rate you mean interest rates. (as opposed to lend to more people at the same interest rates) those higher rates themselves cost more and in turn make it more likely that they go bankrupt. The higher interest rates are (if set right) enough to recover the from the bankruptcy that happens.
I do not feel bad about these Architects, they knew exactly what Autodesk was going to do with Revit when they acquired the company. Autodesk did the same thing with AutoCAD. Reduce innovation, and increased subscription cost. These architecture firms need to diversify the their software toolset, have more in house developers, push for more open standards, and fund open source tools. Instead they take the easy route and standardize on a close tool, until the point where Autodesk has a monopoly.
In Japan, divorce is relatively easy in case of mutual consent but in case when the spouse doesn't want to divorce it quickly becomes very complicated...

The first step is mediation with a court appointed mediator which can take a long time... If mediation doesn't work, the next step is to go to court in which case having some dirt on the spouse that doesn't want to divorce is crucial in influencing the judge deciding the case.

You make a really good argument. Especially the external binaries part convinces me that shell is much more on the facetious end of that response spectrum.

I would argue that it is unfair to compare different implementations of shell, though. I think it's fair to compare across versions of bash, for example, but disingenuous to compare, e.g., Dash, Bash, Ash, and Msh. If, for example, Dash is my target, then I should call and install Dash. For this reason, it was probably a poor idea for me to call out /bin/sh, specifically, as custom dictates that this is, in fact, a different program in different environments.
