I currently earn $941/month on Patreon and I am grateful to my patrons. However if you are reading this and you support me, I would kindly ask you to do the chore of switching over to GitHub Sponsors. They take 0% of the donation, as opposed to 10%, and although I would prefer to use a not-for-profit service, the fact that Microsoft is already well-established financially and Patreon is on a collision course with Capitalism, the GitHub Sponsors money feels more secure.

In my opinion it was deeply unethical to start Patreon as a startup instead of a non-profit. How can you justify it? For-profit means the goal all along was to skim some portion off the top rather than to make a livelihood enabling content creators to make ends meet on their own.

Japan has been using construction as economic stimulus since the Lost Decade and debt-to-GDP is 252%.
Sure but that's just an adjacent business model with very little relationship to the core mission.

Universities could also say, run gambling halls, nightclubs, or any other business you can think of.

The criticism is they are distracted from their core purpose and mission in society, which certainly isn't to run large entertainment venues.
How do you demonstrate that one is causing the other?

Based on my baised observation of the local UC system I just don't see the types of personalities working there thinking about how to extract the last dime from students. What I do see though is very lax fiscal discipline and the inability to make even easy cost management choices. In this environment everyone just expects budgets to increase by x% each year. Then each year they realize - omg we have to increase tuition why does this keep happening?

I can not rely prove my idea - can you prove yours?
His hypothesis if I understand it correctly, consciousness is the core part of existence so you would need to bring hardware into the world that not only is able to simulate the whole reality but to exist in it. Like property of physical reality and composition. That dude is a physicist believing in one single Universe, which probably also applies to most neuroscientists.

I'm not completely alien to the thought that someday we will get a digital companion that would be able to build a simulation of you in silico, but that simulation wouldn't be you.

This foundation sounds like complete science fiction, MRI really? We already have destructive approach in some countries - it's called euthanasia.
I would like to add, because of meeting times, we prefer candidates living between Europe->Asia->NZ. The Americas make it a bit tricky. Sorry folks.
Is there a physical difference between normal and cancer cells? Are cancer cells bigger than normal cells and therefore more susceptible to venom?
It’s an interesting programme but I don’t really think life in the next 100 years will resemble Firefly.

It’s probably closer to the truth to imagine a world with no Western intellectual property or manufacturing.

That will mean “interesting” changes.

For example, what would it mean if most western pharmaceutical companies fail and access to cutting edge medicine was only available through China?

What power would that give the CCP and what would they do with that considering their current ambition?

Look at their expanding South American fishing fleet and naval action in the South China Sea for clues.
Because chargebacks are manual processes and manual processes mean people and people cost $. The primary expense in almost any business is salaries.
If breaking existing tests is rare, you don't have enough tests or a superhuman ability to organize your code.
It's one of those things like C that seemed like a good idea at the time, and only with the fullness of time do we come to realize its bone-deep irreparable flaws... but now we're stuck with it effectively forever.
GDP with respect to the PPP exchange rate isn't a good measure for military spending as most of the spending I imagine goes through international currencies (and thus determined by the spot rate).
Can you explain more what you mean by "game show style"?

> what I look for is the strength of the top faculty

I think most people getting doing normal undergraduate program rarely notice where the top factulty is strong and where it isn't. I sure didn't in the first years of an education. Every university has better and worse departments (those with some reputation for its research, and "others"). I have seen nothing that suggests that the undergraduate education given by staff at the less-known departmenmts is worse than the education given at the "good" ones.

Of course, if you want to get a PhD or even take an advanced undergrad or PhD-class in a 4th or 5th year at a university, you'll notice where the skilled academics are. But the vast majority of the education done at an university is in the basic undergraduate classes given to hundreds of students every semester. It's the quality of that I think is most important, and I'm going to argue that it's probably not dependent on the number of Nobel Prize medals in the department.
Japan could never have dwarfed the US. Germany could never have dwarfed the US.

Barring a catastrophe in the US, you need to look at the numbers: Japan is quite small, most of it land is mountains, it has barely any natural resources, its population is about a third of the US's. There was some hysteria in the 80s but factually with such numbers Japan could never have surpassed the US.

In addition to that, because of WWII Japan is basically satellite state of the US, which means it cannot do as it pleases militarily (and even politically).

On the other hand, China is larger than the continental US, has plenty of natural resources, and has a population 4x that of the US. It is also, of course, not subjected to US domination.

The role are reversed and, as China develops, the numbers indicates that China essentially will dwarf the US.

This is really what has dawned on the American government and what explains their actions. They're not panicking yet but they are certainly alarmed (Japan never alarmed anyone in the D.C area since 1945).

Even the EU makes the US uneasy because, again, they know that the EU can be bigger than they are.
China already went to war with the us over korea. not unsuccesfully and in times when China wasn't considered a threat. I'd say the US needs to treat the prospect of war with China with extreme caution. Why not shore up your own alliances first before attempting to undertake such a massive project?

> To hit a few hundred million in revenue a year and earn their valuation [...]

Revenue doesn't earn a valuation, profit does. Hundreds of million in revenue is worthless on its own – unless you can dump your shares on the next Greater Fool.
> though as of C++20 we now have C99's designated initializers

C++20 only supports a thin imitation of C99's designated initializers. In C99 you can a) mix definition forms (designated and non-designated), b) define members out of order, and c) override earlier definitions. C++20 doesn't support any of these. I've often relied on a and c in initializer macros that provide default, non-0 values that can be overridden (using vararg parameters) by the user, but many might see that as unclean. The lack of b, however, significantly diminishes the value of designated initializers: by reordering struct members you invalidate all uses of designated initializers for that type in C++20, which means they're useless to minimize the burden of refactoring.

Also, C++20 doesn't permit designated array initializers, which I've found very useful for arrays that map, e.g., enums to strings.
No problem, I didn't take it personally.

Re-reading my comment I realize "you don't see this kind of behavior from the rust community" was unclear. I meant that people who are part of rust community don't see it, because it happens outside.
As long as there's an appetite for Treasuries and inflation is held in check, the money to spend will always be "there"

I don’t see this from an idealism perspective at all. Patreon is just a payment processor platform that made it easy for the long tail to have subscriptions, that was their unexploited profit opportunity. That opportunity diminishes as the monthly revenue numbers increase, because if people are making enough, they will just have other, custom channels available to them.

In other words, no one who can average $1M a month has anything more to gain from moving to Patreon’s platform, or any other payment processing platform for that matter.

> less than 4% of Patreon's total number of creators make $1K or more a month, but they account for about 70% of Patreon's revenue.

That describes the shape of the curve, but doesn’t describe the total volume. If the overall market size is increasing, which it does, regardless of the thin long tail, their aggregate revenue will increase. It doesn’t need to do anything special, it just needs to make sure it is not going to lose its share of the ever growing pie.
I will continue to say C/C++. To me they are not distinct enough as languages to truly be considered fully separate and they use the same compilers. The fact that they use the same compiler is to me a devastating argument. No other distinct languages use the same compiler.

>A language is also its good practices, patterns, idioms

The usual argument, but I disagree. If programmers don't have freedom of expression then fuck programming. We should all be free to write our own programs the way we want and not have to worry about standard practices or cultures.

Australia spent $200bn within the space of a few months on direct welfare handouts alone, retailers selling imported junk are now giving out special dividends to investors like it's the peak of an economic boom.

It's yet to be shown they've handled the economic side well and I doubt history will judge the fiscal response positively.

That's a lot of wasted opportunity with regards to infrastructure spending. The National Broadband Network in comparison cost $40bn and estimates for an East coast high speed rail network from Brisbane to Melbourne came out at just over $100bn by infrastructure Australia and was deemed much too expensive to proceed by both sides of politics despite having a valid ROI business case drawn up.

The issue here is there are incorrect assumptions being made about what is a legitimate use of a domain here. Op seems to be communicating that legitimate use means having a website of sorts (my interpretation).

It's possible the owner is using the domain as an email (just as Op is trying to) without an actual website. Or maybe for other purposes.

Similarly, if I use Twitter to log into websites or send messages privately but don't post anything publicly on my Twitter feed, is that not considered a legitimate use because others assume my account is inactive due to no public tweets?

It's entirely possible Op's assumptions here are also correct but that doesn't mean it's a good argument for why the owner shouldn't own the domain. I can see why anyone would reasonably have reasons to complain about this (and Op isn't the first person to do so). Being upset at domain squatters isn't new. I'm just not sure I agree that someone not actively using the domain means they should forfeit the rights to it.
It would be good if this were an exception but it isn't. The easiest way to gain access to lots of privileged information is to work as support worker for a bank or insurance company.
This looks neat. Do you know what specifically it does differently than the traditional one? The blurb is vague and the "learn more" link is dead.
"My team and I routinely pried into workers' police records, personnel files, credit histories, medical records, and family lives in search of a weakness that we could use to discredit union activists... Once in a while, a worker is impeccable. So some consultants resort to lies. To fell the sturdiest union supporters in the 1970s, I frequently launched rumors that the targeted worker was gay or was cheating on his wife. It was a very effective technique." [1, 2]

I've found it just obscures what the test is doing. If I'm looking at a test that failed, I want to see the code that caused the failure, as plainly as possible; I'm quite capable of reading code (indeed I find code is better at communicating clearly than English is), so I'd rather see a minimum of ceremony than some misguided effort at making tests more readable for imaginary business users.

Unrelated to the argument, but I can imagine Sean Connery having such problem.
But you then lose the ability to revoke a token on the backend, given that requires a DB lookup. Or you have very short lived token, meaning that you don’t have real benefits versus an opaque token in DB.

IMHO JWTs only make sense in some constrained contexts, such as:

1. You want a report, click on “generate”

2. The processing starts, you receive a token to access the resource

3. Once the file is created you get can access it by using the token previously received

In those kind of short term and limited use cases they can make things a bit nicer as the “report generation service” only need to check the token.

But in practice JWTs are often used used as a general authentication/authorization mechanism, and that makes little sense (and brings a lot of overhead).
The problem is accreditation and standardization. We know roughly what is in a BS degree for CS or any typical engineering. The baseline is mandated by the accreditor.

We don't value half the gunk that the accreditor demands, but universities like to make students pay for cheap filler gunk, and they get more influence over the accreditor than any normal employer would. It's really a cartel, with universities all colluding to waste about 2% of every student's life. For every 50 students, that's like a murder.

Employers would jump at the chance to hire somebody with a 4-year degree that is like the MS minus the AA. Replace the cheap filler gunk with more-advanced STEM classes.

Sadly that isn't offered, at least not in a widely-recognized way with standardization.

Many newer games are designed to show off raytracing effects. Cyberpunk 2077 has lots of neon lights, shiny things, rain puddles, etc for light to bounce around, and raytracing makes it look a lot nicer than when the shadows are approximated in traditional ways. Minecraft ... ye gods. The videos I've seen look amazing. The other nice thing these cards have is the DLSS 2.0 tech, which is supposed to let it render at higher resolutions by _making things up_ (?) based on ... something buzzword-laden. The effect, though, is that you get similar or better quality at much higher framerates, because lossy techniques are still nice to look at.

"Need" is a strong word, but I'm sure someone will make a game where the shadows _matter_ for telling the story, or solving puzzles, or even just making the game world look more realistic and believable.
Like other commenters pointed out, I think it's important to look at the economy of each country. Spain's GDP, for example, heavily relies on tourism (12%, according to official sources [1]), with most of that happening during the summer. Almost no one is traveling to Spain right now, so you could expect almost a 12% drop in GDP. That's a big chunk of the 22% drop you see in the chart.

Honestly, that sounds more like acting on envy and perhaps Rick noticed and withdrew himself further.

I guess being too eccentric isn't good for teaching, just like lacking patience leads to problems.

I get the message, performance isn't everything, but there are other shallow truths about the workplace. Like competency doesn't make you the most loved person. And this article honestly feels a bit like that.

1500 + 0.14h should be equal to 0.45h * 4. A 3080 will at the least be 2x faster for general training than one k80.

That is because there are no weights to begin with. In actual biological neurons synapses perform a rather complicated biochemical dance involving vesicles, ion channels, second messengers, whenever an action potential arrives. Some of that can be described by simple ODEs which might contain a constant that you could call “weight” but the actual physical synapses know nothing about that.

You're right maybe the wording is wrong: query more than manipulate. By the way, querying like jq might be an interesting new feature. Don't know exactly in which direction it should go / what it should do / how exactly it should look like (grammar)

Technically all of the above would be present in a neck of a really cold beer, as it is being opened. But I don't think my fridge can make the beer cold enough. Soda obviously doesn't work because it contains no alcohol vapor. Also soda is solid at -26 c, unable to release vapors whereas beer will still be a liquid (I think probably depends on the beer).

It took Airbus 21 years to produce something that would sell. But they got there. COMAC is at year 12. The COMAC C919 has a few flying prototypes. It's been a troubled project, with major changes, such as going from carbon fiber to aluminum, along the way. Still uses imported engines. It's kind of a dud, like the Airbus 300 was. But the government of China is willing to keep putting in money until they get a decent airliner. The next one might be saleable outside China.

i agree, although it's easy to withhold health insurance by maintaining a part-time, contractor, and gig workforce. That's a much stronger power-play. If anything, single payer alleviates some of their political exposure on gig workers. The pressure to classify gig workers as full employees is, in many corners, driven by the health insurance problem.

China is well on its way to being a super-power and will likely be the sole global superpower by 2040, fully capable of enforcing their will and policies on all nations of the world.

They have already successfully infiltrated most international and political organisations as well as the international press to ensure there is no consensual united stand taken against them.

They can successfully carry out mass sterilisation and genocide campaigns with little or no blow-back from anyone.

What amazes me is how few recognise the extraordinary threat they pose to the world today.
