Is that tool the same as windows memtest? My brand new pc randomly blue screens twice a month with 'corrupted structure' or something like that, i suspect of ram but windows tool said no errors found after a 3 hour test.

Wow, that’s definitely something that needs to change then. It’s shooting yourself in the foot to deny the usefulness of other human beings simply because they are not European.

That said... there is a historical record of people complaining about Irish, Polish, Italian, Greek, and Spanish immigrants. Essentially every wave of immigration has been met with hostility.

So it seems the whole they are not X like us, is just an excuse.

I shocked myself a few times with these too, in the process of disassembling the cameras. I needed components (capacitors and the flash circuit) for the ignition system for the rocket engines we were building with a friend, so I went to a local photo store and asked nicely for used cameras with flash. They gave me a bag with some 20 of them.

(The shocks I got were through carelessness; I used a kitchen knife to discharge the caps after ripping off the plastic shell of the camera, but sometimes I touched the wrong thing while disassembling. Roughly half the cameras I got had the caps charged to the point they'd spark brightly on discharge, and one of them damaged the knife.)

Context for those too young to remember: back before digital cameras were available and affordable, you could buy disposable cameras in kiosks and stores cheaply. These would come pre-loaded with a single roll of film, and after you used it up (~30 photos), you'd take the whole camera to a photo store. The photo store people would rip the roll out of the camera, develop your photos, and throw the camera away. Some models came with flash, so if you could get the used ones from the store (or their trash), you got a free source of high-voltage capacitors.)
Net consumer spending is still down ~4%. In the long-run if high income individuals could simply stop spending ~10% of their income - its quite likely that they are not spending the 10% on things that move the needle.

The terms are not absurd, but currently the fight I've seen is around:

a) Being able to provide a free app with a subscription you can not buy in the app because of the 30% with IAP you're required to use

b) The ability to purchase tokens/credits in a game to then purchase other stuff.

So it wouldn't resolve the current major fights IMO.

> I don't see why people would be against SALT deductions.

When the Federal government allows you to deduct certain line items from your taxable income, it's usually as an incentive for that thing (eg charitable donations deduction). It's really debatable if we really want to be incentivizing higher state taxes. While taxation is an important way to pay for necessary services, you need some downward pressure on it (just like prices) that ensures that we're spending every dollar as efficiently as possible.

If you have a more federalized tax structure where you pay more in state taxes than Federal taxes, you probably don't even need this kind of affirmative incentive anyway.

> If government wants to incentivize some activity, then they should just pay for it.

Agreed, and that's essentially what critics of the SALT deduction call it: the Federal government paying for, and as a result incentivizing states to increase their taxes.
>My assumption would have been a decrease in the low-income zipcodes (due to access to technology resources for e-learning, more friction in adjusting to staying at home, economic woes effecting low income families more, etc), but the high-income zipcodes to stay roughly the same. It looks like (for math at least) that e-learning is working out great when you have access to the technology, much better than regular in-person school (assuming what they're measuring as 'progress' is actually meaningful to begin with).

My anecdote working with a lot of engineers who are all currently remote is that they're spending much more time with their kids overall. All throughout the day and not just after work hours. It makes a lot of sense that high income households have math literate parents and those parents now have more time to help their kids become math literate.
How about we got to a place where Apple isn't taking 30% from companies just for the privilege of putting an app in the store, even when payment streams are completely unrelated to the app store and are merely provided as a convenience to customers?

Apple taking 30% (or trying) from every app is bad for everyone.

Fake ECC as you put it serves a purpose, it protects the bus interface. Which is one of the failure points on modern machines, and is why sometimes to fix ram/qpi/etc errors you end up replacing the motherboard.

We will have to see with DDR5 (because it supports "internal" ECC) if its worth it to the memory industry to build RAM that is internally denser, but more error prone (as is the case with modern flash) or continue to attempt to build 100% reliable ram (and failing).

I'm betting some clever person figures that out. Which leaves only the memory bus itself unprotected. Which IMHO, is foolish and serves only to create product segmentation. So, for a DDR5 dimm with internal ECC, generating bus ECC should be a trivial addition.

> cryptocurrencies being the best gaining asset class of 2020

And tulips were the best gaining asset class of 1636. The existence of speculation is not proof of the soundness of the underlying asset.

The difference being that I have firsthand knowledge of honest economic activity being conducted with USD. I see practically zero evidence of cryptocurrencies being used in any honest economic activity, other than speculation.

Yes, but my understanding is that Ethereum can handle much more complex contracts.
I suspect a lot of "not rich" people also saved a lot of money [and got a lot bored] by not being able to spend on entertainment (not even movies or meals out) and a $500 console is a gateway into very cost-effective entertainment/distraction which is greatly needed now.

As opposed to private insurers (who routinely deny treatment for people deemed as "not sufficiently likely to recover," assuming they even bother applying a reason) or hoping that the charitable giving of a person's friends and families will carry the day?

Absolutely. I will, with no hesitation, be fine with that trade.

A government, or more broadly, a society has no requirement to earn a profit and every incentive to keep its citizens healthy and happy so as to be positive members of society in order to perpetuate that society.

Remember that, in some areas of the country, fire protection is for-profit and if you didn't pay your fire company dues, your house will burn while you watch. Meanwhile, in the "socialist" areas with government-owned-and-operated fire departments, everyone's residence will receive at least some protection.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't GTO only valid for 2-player games - i.e. no Nash equlibria for 3 or more player games exist? If so, then "solving" poker by finding good enough approximation of GTO strategy only works for heads-up poker, which is a variant almost no one plays nowadays. Of course, in multiplayer games GTO is extremely useful where there's only two players left in the pot (you can view the remainder of the hand as a two player game and find GTO strategy for that game), but you still need a strategy for the remaining situations.
That's not how taxes work though. I pay for a ton of other things besides State taxes, like my Spotify subscription, my rent, my food, my transportation — why not deduct all of that before paying taxes as well?

The State and Local governments provide a basket of services, and taxation is the price of those services. It's no more double taxation to pay all of the different governments for their different basket of services as it is "double payment" to pay different service providers the price of their goods & services independent of one another.

And your point is? California is paying federal taxes so in exchange can get help from federal government when it needs it. And the federal government doesn't help it.

If California would hold the money that it is sending to subsidize red states it would be doing perfectly fine.
Do you mean Maxwell or Maslows hierachy?

I dont buy the argument that poor people have to break the rules. Of course in India you have correlation a lot of poor people and a lot of people evading the rules, but does this imply causation? Probably the causation is in the other direction.

I believe weak and corrupt enforcement (the latter beeing the worst) leads to this. If you know the police will fine you anyway no matter what you do, some probably stop following the rules and then it becomes a culture.

How so?

The elections are happening, legislature legislates, judicial system is adjudicating, the military is following the constitution. What are the signs of the collapse?

The sole link you provided has nothing to do with a coup - it talks about Trump potentially deploying military to quell riots. It is his constitutional right to do, however the generals are of course free to resign from this. Is this a coup on your book?
This is pretty cool. I've also been playing around in this area lately and noticed there's still a drastic performance hit. But seems to work great for smaller files.

I know one Covid long-hauler personally. She's in excellent physical shape, and has worked for several years as a paramedic (which is, in fact, where she caught Covid). She's got medical training, professional expertise, and is generally an all-around no-bullshit kind of person. It's been six months since her original diagnosis, and she still has lingering symptoms - on bad days she can't climb up a flight of steps without getting winded, despite literally running 10Ks earlier this year. This is just a single anecdote, and COVID long-haulers may not be as widespread or as significant as the article suggests, but having witnessed her experience firsthand I'm absolutely not willing to write it off.
Louisville and Longmont, both in Boulder County, are also subject to this prohibition as is is a county-wide regulation.

Memtest86+ (http://www.memtest.org) is what hardware enthusiasts use to troubleshoot memory issues despite the built-in Windows memory test being preinstalled and easier to access (no need to boot from a USB, etc) so I'm assuming it's much better than the Windows one.

But school funding has never been under the purview of the Federal government, and State government budgets are already earmarked for equalizing local disparities.

Why yes, this is why I'm invested in Amazon.

The problem with other sites is often (still!) I have to deal with annoying setup. Then once I create an account, I end up with yet another damned weekly newsletter[1]. Then I opt out, but I still get changing terms of service emails for the next 100 years.

There are some sites where I don't have these issues, but it is common enough that it makes me averse to signing up for new sites.

It is almost a perfect prisoner's dilemma. If every single site on the net stopped doing this, I'd be more likely to use more sites and they would all benefit. But individually, sites find it more profitable to spam/ newsletter the hell out of their users by default.

Also, often I get thing cheaper on Amazon then on the third party seller's own site. Just recently I was shopping for bike parts and recognized the seller's name and went directly to their site. The product was the same price, but on Amazon I get a 5% rebate plus I use smile.amazon.com so a few pennies goes to the charity of my choice as well... plus I didn't have to deal with setting up and account and dodging an email newsletter.

So yes, lazy, plus tired of the gamble of dealing with user-hostile sites.

[1] I know most sites let you avoid the newsletter sign up, but too often they use dark patterns or opt in by default.
Tax-deductible charitable giving means that people get to decide where their money goes on their own. There's no democratic process in the appropriation of their money.

This means the wealthier you are, the more say you have in appropriating what could be government money. If you make millions per year, you can potentially apportion more money than some citizens make in a decade. You effectively have more power in the government than many other citizens who should have the same capacity for change.

It's a form of plutocracy.
One, the government doesn't decide that. It's lovely propaganda, but it's just not what happens. Not in countries with decent healthcare, and not in the US.

Two, if there's any body who would need to decide that, yes, the government would be a much more appropriate body than individuals - it is at least theoretically a representative of the whole population.

You could attach a piece of paper to virtual purchases to get around Apple's cut. "See, I sold a physical good". Even though, that physical good could be a sheet of paper with an access code to a virtual good.

Maybe you e-mail a receipt that happens to list the paper's contents for 'quicker delivery'.
'Alarms' are probably useful. A loud 'alarm sound' would definitely have an effect on an intruder, they often alert some authority if left on, and cameras start recording.

I find them extremely common in the hyper-safe suburbs where every kid is in a safety bubble, probably the lowest crime areas going. They're sold for inflated prices.

Probably way over used, but there's legit utility there.

But what nerd can honestly not say they're not having to actively resist from buying a flying 'home monitor drone'. I mean, I'm 100% sure that I don't need one and I still want to buy it!

It's actually a smart move by Amazon, it's important to imbue their otherwise 'Warehouse of Crap' brand with aspirational things.

I foresee a million dudes 'checking to see if they locked the door' ... just because.
Given that developers have to pay Apple for access to the app store, they are also consumers, just in a different way.
Aside from general documentation of damage, cameras can also be used to measure the body and movement (for instance gait) of the criminal, which is actually useful for an investigator. It shows where the criminal walked, which is also useful for securing tracks, prints or even DNA samples. Means you can save a ton of time looking. Many criminals aren't smart enough to discard or burn their clothes after use either, so this would also positively ID the perp if found. So yeah, I'd say that cameras are pretty useful for investigating crimes outside of mere facial recognition. ^^

Technically, Python does have strong typing: it's just dynamic, not statically typed. I can see how static typing helps avoid errors on a larger project.

It's hard for me to understand how using indentation for scoping would be a "big problem" on a large/long-lived project. Whitespace vs brackets seems purely an aesthetic choice to me. Don't most people indent their bracketed languages anyway?
Much of bad “science” can be traced to innumerate psychologists typing their data into an R program, getting a p-value out, and then wildly misinterpreting that. They don’t know what a p-value is or what it means (not much, usually). What is a citizen, interested in keeping up with research results, to do? Remember what science is. Science is not searching for correlations in data. If you see a headline about a result that seems important, you can, you must, ignore it until you look at the research paper. It doesn’t matter if it’s not your specialty. Look for hypothesized mechanism and for successful prediction. If it’s not there, none of the reported associations or “statistical significance” mean anything.

I just view Greenwald as a more careful agitator that maintained proper distance. Assange, Greenwald, and Snowden make quite an interesting trio in the discussion of state secrets. I don’t really question Snowden+Greenwald’s legitimacy. I think Snowden is in sharp contrast to Assange who has never demonstrated any real integrity or principles other than attacking Democrats during the 2016 election. Assange and Trump are useful puppets off a hostile state or directly actors of said state. Snowden is a legitimate whistleblower and his intentions are much harder to question.
Yes but one needs some time away from the computer especially when they have a family, eg. young children to spend time with. I personally accept that I’ll never catch up with all the new technologies but hope get to toy with the most significant parts in the future. At the same time I want to give the offline life a chance, there are old technologies such as acoustic instruments and phisical medium painting that are rewarding as the new stuff and they offer a different perspective into processes, sometimes deliberately slow and deep
I've never really bought the multiple layers of special cases and exceptions. For example, British English and American English also have many of the same differences between simplified and traditional Chinese characters; e.g. British English and American English both agree on the verb form of "to curb" but disagree on "kerb" vs "curb." Yet AFAIK Wikipedia doesn't have a similar system that tries to convert from British English to American English or vice versa that also handles all these special cases apart from just the normal spelling differences.

Taiwanese Mandarin is really not that different from PRC Mandarin. In fact most college-educated mainland speakers can read works written in traditional characters just fine although I'm not sure on the Taiwanese side for simplified characters. In fact I think a substantial proportion (most?) of Chinese Wikipedia readers just don't bother with changing the character set either way and are fine with traditional/simplified character switches throughout the article (that's certainly the way I read it).
