> It's pretty easy to verify if the page contains nothing but an image, programmically, especially if you also wrote the software that rasterize it in the first place.

It's pretty easy for a computer to verify any of this, the point is making it idiot proof. You don't have to be much of an idiot, if you process hundreds of documents a year where there's no way to visually verify the difference between a badly redacted document and a well redacted document, to screw up once. Especially when the difference between them is that you remembered to push the "redact correctly button", and if you forgot that, remembered to push the "verify if is redacted correctly programmatically" button before hitting send.

What you do is create a ritual where you have to walk across the room and use a physical machine. You'll remember doing that. And if you don't, since the output will look a bit crap, you can confirm it trivially.

Creating a process that has to be done perfectly every time or it fails catastrophically, and has few indications of failure during the process, is worse than having no process at all.
I'd think that if someone has the intention to buy but doesn't have a site in mind, they'll usually use Google: like "best mortgage rates" or "american girl doll clothes". I can see FB ads being better for raising interest in a product to a targeted demographic, but I'd assume that the Google ads that are very close to the point of sale are much more valuable. What am I missing?

I agree this doesn't exactly equate to the conclusion drawn about republicans, but it does further expose that there is no limit to generating partisan/political quotes where they don't belong.

Regardless of who you side with, note that many on the congressional investigative team took contributions from Boeing and tried to steer blame to individual pilots/airlines (including Sam Graves and some democrats).

It's a large portion of major donations.

If Bob Johnson donates $20M to a hospital to create the Johnson Cancer Wing, he is in benefiting himself: he is buying his name on a building.

If Bob donates $20M to a local symphony orchestra that he attends, he is benefiting himself by buying better music for him to listen to.

If Bob donates $20M to a candidate for office whose policies would ultimately benefit Bob, well...

I wouldn't call these bribes. But they're less like donations and more like purchases.

This is a worrying trend recently. And lets not forget the conduct from Laura Kuenssberg over the last few years.
That’s far from accurate. Income taxes contribute ~$1.932 trillion, but payroll taxes add $1.373 trillion and are often ignored in these calculations. As social security is capped at relatively low income levels the tax burden on the rich is much lower than often suggested.

Further, the often quoted top 1% is hardly the rich in the US, if you compare the income vs taxes paid of the top 0.01% their paying a lower percentage of their income than the average programmer in federal taxes. State taxes have a similar breakdown with property taxes, fuel taxes, etc representing a vastly lower burden for the 0.01% of income earners.

This is further compounded when you consider tax free wealth accumulation of capital gains where taxing in sale mean zero tax on possibly decades of income, or possibly ever. You don’t deduct charitable donations from social security taxes.

PS: As to what the rich receive in taxes. They receive a functioning society which is economically worth far more to themselves than lower income earners.

If you want to get started quickly, Go. Better yet, Python or Ruby or Java, which have far more available frameworks and libraries. If you care about quality, performance and memory usage enough to invest more time into learning how to use it, Rust.

Between Go and Rust, Go wins on popularity and amount of libraries, compilation speed (not an issue for me really, but some people care more about that) and its easy to get someone who knows it. Rust wins on quality of libraries, tooling and the code you'll produce.

Rust gets dependency management right, and the language is actually worth learning. Golang is meh at best.

You will need to spend some time building yourself a web framework though, if you want one, as existing ones are very basic. That's a serious issue with Rust atm.
Just because something is complicated, doesn't mean it's ethical. And in fact, pointing out to how complicated and deep the domain of marketing is serves only to distract from the core issue: as practiced today, it's malicious and immoral, and has disastrous consequences for society.

Although the 'Billions' Chuck Feeney gave away would likely be the focus of his story, his greatest achievement IMO is creating the 'actionable model for philanthropy' which others have since followed creating a much larger impact from what was done through his wealth alone.

>this is unimpressive compared to the poor person who donates $25 to others while starving herself

I absolutely agree and think of this often when I see the philanthropy figures published each year when the top Billionaires have donated <0.2% of their wealth where as there are individuals like this gentleman[1] who donates 80% of his earnings from road side tea stall to educate underprivileged children[1].

Rents were already way above wage growth prior to the pandemic:

While I’m sure they’ve gone down a little in certain urban cores, like SF, they remain absurdly high in the midsize, Midwestern city where I grew up and now live. When I moved back, apartments here were going for only a bit less than what I paid in Los Angeles and seem to have not gone down at all. Home prices also remain artificially high because there are less listings and more interested buyers.
Wow @dang. You hell banned me for this? I guess you’re another closet racist Roma hater.

Most Americans have no idea that:

500k - 1.5 million Romani & Dom (westerners know them by their perjoratice, “Gypsy”) were killes by Hitler in the holocaust (and yes, Jews recognize the holocaust as including the Romani). [1]

They also overlook the 20 million Chinese killed by Japan [2], or the 300k civilians raped and killed in the Nanking Massacre literally for sport [3].

We tend to white wash Russian and Chinese casualties because they are our “enemies”, and most of us don’t know the Roma even exist beyond in a few romanticized books.

Yes. I'm far less worried about government == inefficient (I've learned too much about AI and the genetic algorithm to have faith in human-based optimization strategies, and this is one reason I'm enthusiastic about population-based optimization along Basic Income lines) but possibly even more offended by the logic that specifically billionaires will allocate wealth better.

I feel like the very existence of billionaires demonstrates that they are a self-selecting pool of abusers and/or criminals running exploits that place their interests above the system they're in. Even the idea of 'the wealthy allocate money better' is ridiculous. Towards what, themselves? It's like saying cancer allocates body resources better, because cancer can get into a position where it conclusively 'wins'.
I think you’ll just get less competent people with the same levels of greed. I’d see involving more skin in the game as the solution, not decreasing the rewards.

I recently switched to Sway because gnomes workspaces annoyed me too much. Let me choose a workspace independently on each monitor please! On i3 I was getting really bad screen tearing, even with conpton/picom otherwise I’d have just used that, but Sway/Wayland has no such problems.

Sadly a few things don’t work so well in Wayland. For example, Windows games under Proton work fine on X but not on Wayland/Xwayland (I guess since they’re not Wayland aware they can’t bypass the compositor?)

So, I too will try this project out as it looks like it may be a nice middleground where I can be productive in gnome on X.
State-owned monopolies exist in most capitalist countries, from operating prisons, to managing railroad or telecom infrastructure, to nuclear energy. The US may have fewer of those than say, the UK or France or Singapore, but I would not call those countries _communist_.

Rails Concerns: To Concern or Not to Concern
An example of where you do need a SMLLC is my dentist's LLC was a SMLLC twice in his career due to various partnerships forming and dissolving in the normal course of careers.

Apparently the process of adding or removing partners is, at least in my state, very simple.

My dentist and I don't have much in common so we talk about things like this. Well, he talks, I kinda mumble, under the circumstances. Are LLCs normal for dentists in general or dentists in your state or dentists in my state? I donno, I should ask him next time.

I would imagine all sorts of small service businesses with multiple partners would benefit from this situation, ranging from lawn care to IT field service to law offices. I wonder how this situation interacts with long term inherited family businesses?

Hello Solar Cycle 25
September 15, 2020 - The solar minimum between Solar Cycle 24 and 25 - the period when the sun is least active - happened in December 2019, when the 13-month smoothed sunspot number fell to 1.8, according to the Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel, co-chaired by NOAA and NASA. We are now in Solar Cycle 25 with peak sunspot activity expected in 2025, the panel said.
I think an interesting variation on this is that even if a safety system is not required by law, but is available - then disabling could constitute criminal negligence. Consider what happens if safety equipment on industrial equipment is disabled and injuries result. I'm fairly sure that criminal charges could result for whoever disabled the safety mechanisms (though the there are likely differences between workplace safety criminal law and road safety).
Don't let the awesomeness turn to pessimism! The gap between "this is great" and "this is the only realistic hope" is huge. Others - even outside of farm life - have found community too.
You're right, but cookies aren't really a part of HTTP, they're a browser hack that got popular.

You could just as easily say that HTTP is stateless because of backend databases and sessions. It's true about the web, but not HTTP per se.

Not in my case, I was easily able to afford rent and I’ve stayed employed throughout the pandemic as a tech worker.

The challenge has been maintaining my sanity. My previous apartment was small and didn’t have space for a good home office setup since I never expected to work from hone when I leased it. Additionally, I was having little social interaction due to the pandemic since Texas wasn’t doing a good job preventing spread early on.

My other reason for moving in with my parents was that my company did a lot of business in the travel industry and I feared layoffs. Not having to worry about my living situation while looking for another job in the midst of a crisis was a huge relief in my mind. Fortunately, I’ve been able to stay at the same company so far.

If being independent is the absolute most important thing to you, that’s great. But I’d argue that America’s individualistic culture is one of the biggest reasons we’re struggling to get past this pandemic. People demand the right to ignore basic public health requests, and it’s a major problem.
As long as you don't move in with your parents permanently it can be a good idea even when you can pay rent by yourself.

Depending on the city you live if you can save a ton of cash and spend some extra time with your family.

Not just current, more like "in general since the 70s". This was mostly due to the legal doctrines of Robert Bork, who was Solicitor-General during Nixon and held great influence from the late 70s, which stated that the only good reason to engage in antitrust was to increase consumer welfare (and implicitly, if antitrust would reduce consumer outcomes, antitrust is wrong). The idea basically boils down to "the customer is always right."

Now of course, many arguments being made today are that where the negative effects of a monopoly are felt aren't primarily with consumers, but with smaller enterprises being squeezed out, and with workers at a monopoly deprived of choice, both commonly cited with Amazon. Bork's stance was that these aren't legitimate reasons to engage in antitrust and really end up protecting inefficient existing enterprises.

Anyhow, Bork's Antitrust Paradox (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0029044561/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_...) was and is one of the most cited books in antitrust law, mostly to make the case as to why antitrust in a particular situation is not merited, and the Supreme and lower courts have adopted views from there directly dozens of times.

So it's not just a recent thing, it's a long running, over 40 years now thing

Eight and ten bits are the full range of the image, but dark scenes only use a fraction of the range and often suffer from banding (and comically bad compression artifacts on certain popular streaming services). Clean, slight gradients as a backdrop often only cover a small distance in RGB, so again, very low resolution and banding is the result.

Dithering is vital. Just like dithering is vital for audio, even at 24 bits.

Also keep in mind that the "10 bit" you speak of is implemented by dithering on an 8 bit panel in almost every display. Similarly many cheaper 8 bit displays are actually 6 bit with dithering. Additionally, 10 bit is a very rare output format [1] and rarely used by applications apart from the handful of HDR games; even for content creation applications 10 bit support is uncommon, and it actually being utilized even less common.

[1] Just because everything is output and composited in 8 bit, doesn't mean 10 bit display output is entirely for naught. If you are using hardware gamma correction, which you are when you use tools like flux/redshift/... or most ICC display profiles, then 10 bit scanout of an 8 bit framebuffer still makes sense.

I think people need to start realising just how incredibly much the government is now stepping in at each of these crises to make them as smooth as possible. But there is a downside to this. You are not allowing the normal economic effects to happen because you are wanting to keep everything as it is, but then guess what, the status quo stays, and anyone joining the ladder is finding it increasingly difficult.

What's amazing is how the narrative around this however is that we need MORE government to set things right. Yet in the tech bubble the government blew up the real este bubble, in 2008 all the banks got saved along with loads of other insurance and other businesses, and now we have the largest stimulus packages ever. (on top of government subsidised student loans, which have made loads of money available for college, pushing up prices).

It's counter intuitive but in the long run this is BAD for anyone that doesn't already have something. It inflates asset prices, it locks in people who already have something. It's bad for millennials. And millennials shouldn't be arguing for more government intervention, but less. Let things fail, so that the waste can get burned off.

Unfortunately it seems a lot of people think things literally need to be burned down for there to be change. But let's be clear, 30-40 years of interventions by governments did this, which is exactly what left leaning people want of government.
No, we should defer to the career antitrust experts at the DOJ and FTC as well the academics who study anti-trust and competition (a mix of mostly legal and economic professors).
