Linguee is not a reference either for English to French, simply because most of the side-by-side translations it uses are bad translations; and also because it mixes French and Canadian sources, which are sometimes completely unrelated to the point that a native French won't understand a Canadian translation and vice-versa.

Deepl, from the same company, is much better and is currently the best online translator.

Just because you can spend the average amount, it doesn't you have to spend the average amount. A car can cost well under even the base model Model 3 and have 90% of the same functionality (the price disparity gets even larger if you opt into Autopilot); albeit it won't be the status symbol that is a Tesla.

The Hysteresis of the Antarctic Ice Sheet
Frugality to me is freedom. You don't need to be a slave to the wants and desires that are imposed on you by friends, family, marketers, and creditors. Coming up with creative solutions to work around replacing something, repairing a vehicle you paid off for by yourself, waiting and then getting a deal on something you want, reading a good book you got at the library, being creative with party planning is invigorating.

I am living the life that I want, not the life someone else envisions.

Have you gone through the eviction process. [?]

Like they say where I hail from: "None a 'yer bizness."

That said, a "scientific" analysis of a "representative sample" of the above links indicates that very few (if any) deal make any mention at all of the case to which we are referring: that is, where the tenant has vacated the premises (leaving their belongings on site) after the landlord has reclaimed possession.

To use just one example that does make mention - California - it says:

Any property of the tenant left on the premises will be turned over to the landlord for storage.

That is - the landlord may not, as you suggest, dispose of it as they will. Rather, they need to put it in storage for the tenant to reclaim it a future date.

And in Florida:

If the renter leaves any personal property at the rental unit, the Florida eviction laws mandate you to notify them in writing. In Florida, the law requires that you give the tenant at least 10 days to claim the property. The 10-day period is if the notice was personally delivered to the renter. If mailed, the tenant has 15 days to claim the property. You can charge the tenant for storage of the property. The costs should be reasonable. If the tenant fails to claim the property within that time, you are at liberty to dispose of it whichever way you please.

Again -- the guidelines (that you yourself posted a link to) clearly state that the landlord may not simply dispose of the property as they see fit. Rather, they need to put it (safely) in storage for a certain minimum period as prescribed by law.

That's just checking 2 of the links that you provided - both of which clearly contradict the assertion you made.

Let's say that it's possible to create a lock and doors for your house that are impossible to defeat. The security forces would instead find another way into your property; the window, the chimney, blowing a hole in the wall, etc.

If the security forces don't have a master key for E2E encryption they should instead find another way to find evidence of a crime if they suspect one has taken place. The analogy does fall down somewhat when thinking about completely digital crimes when there is no physical evidence, one that comes to mind is child abuse, though this could be detected by teachers/care givers or analyzing videos/pictures from users which didn't practice good OPSEC.

I forget which group it was (Lizard Squad? LulzSec?) where one of the members was identified by analyzing internet usage and monitoring the suspects coming and going.

I got my MBA mid-career but my undergrad was in music and I switched careers 10 yrs out of college. So, while I'd amassed a healthy amount of business knowledge, the MBA taught me things I'd not learned on the job.

That said, for many in my MBA cohort who had majored in business in undergrad, most I talked to said they weren't learning anything they didn't already know, save perhaps how to use their financial calculators in novel ways.

Lends credence to the 'signaling' of an MBA, more than anything else.
Reading the DMCA (512(g)[1]) it seems a little more nuanced than that.

The DMCA provides wide protection to the service provider against liability for taking down stuff due to a DMCA notice (e.g. contractual SLA with customers mean nothing). However that protection disappears if the correct counter claim steps are followed, at which point the service provider becomes liable for not providing a service.

Of course with YouTube, they almost certainly have broad T&Cs that let them delete/disable your content for any reason at anytime (it’s not like creators are paying for hosting). So YouTube never had any liability to be protected from.

The net result, YouTube can do whatever they want with your content, and you have little to no recourse.

Well, maybe not Twitter? I've used their hidden platform team contact form about 4 times and I've never heard a response from them.

But we have, and it's called vaccination.

Not mandatory everywhere, but it is in many places, especially for school-aged kids.

And if health-centred rules are too much to comprehend, then I suppose it's also your right to choose to drink and drive and you should be allowed to?

I mean, it's the same right to individualism that you are exercising. It's your right to not protect yourself and take risks in the process, but it's not your right to become a danger to others. We're not talking about opinions here, we're talking about the fact that viral infections do spread and kill and that without some measures, they will kill more, not less.

We can argue about what measures are effective for what population and up to what point we should enforce them, but there is -to me- no argument that there are some basic health measures that should be enforced, especially because some will make a point of not doing it and will endanger everyone else in the process.

Also, you can see that the current measures do have a pretty pronounced effect on lowering the flu[1]. So, protecting yourself lowers the transmission rate of viruses in general. Two birds with one stone!

Every time I hear of heat from power plants and industrial processes treated like waste, I wonder if it can be repurposed to low-grade heat desalination [1], or other co-generation processes [2]. We can always use more potable water, for example. I'm sure they ran the numbers and worked out the opex isn't worth the effort, and/or the capex hurdle is too high.

But man, I'd love a tap into that industrial quantity supply of "waste" heat piped just to my backyard. I'd heat my pool in the cold months, run my spa and sauna all the time, and use it to run an absorption chiller the rest of the time. And of course skim some for my hot water heater.

Really interesting interview, thanks for posting, I particularly liked the anecdote about what happened to the original Wasteland manuscript.

INTERVIEWER

Does the manuscript of the original, uncut Waste Land exist?

ELIOT

Don’t ask me. That’s one of the things I don’t know. It’s an unsolved mystery. I sold it to John Quinn. I also gave him a notebook of unpublished poems, because he had been kind to me in various affairs. That’s the last I heard of them. Then he died and they didn’t turn up at the sale.

It's actually viewable here with Pound's notes:

A year ago, after getting a nasal cautery (third one in a year in a nostril that kept being problematic) I started getting spasms between my neck and shoulder, it happens whenever I'm laying on the bed on that side. Massage makes it worse, but that's also my "bad side" when it comes to muscle knots, even before the little surgery. Stopped wearing a backpack since then to see if that was the culprit, cut down on caffeine, MRI & Angio show up OK, but still no go. Maybe the ENT messed up my nerves? Asking for a friend.
I’ve met a few. Who cares.
It doesn't matter whether the market stays up over 30 years. If it crashes at the wrong time (especially if that's after you've retired) and you have 100K left, you have only 3 years to recover, not 30.

And even if the market recovers in 3 years, by then you're left with a fraction of your capital.
> but I'd place a higher emphasis on the shape of the data and how it has to be traversed in the client

There is something incredibly satisfying in rendering an entire UI experience from a single GraphQL payload, without having to build intermediary data structures to stitch it all together from multiple endpoints.
Google has a net income (aka profits) of $34b/yr and Youtube revenues ($16 bil) are about 12% of google's total revenues ($135 bil). If they sunk 12% of their net income (one year of net income growth) into hiring customer support and allocated 12% to youtube, that would be $490mil. Or around 5,000 account reps (avg cost of $100k/yr). At 1800 hrs/yr, that's around 9 mil man-hours they could put towards decent youtube creator relationship support.

My understanding is that there around 30mil youtube channels. Let's say that 10% of those are regular uploaders and maybe 10% of that, it's a major part of their lives. So that's around 300,000 creators. Of those perhaps 30,000 make a living from it.

Most issues that come up can probably be resolved via their current automated systems. If those creators have an average of 1 issue that needs human intervention every year, that's 300,000 cases. Which means apx 30 man-hours per case. If 10 issues that require human intervention, that's still 3 man-hours per case.

The conclusion is that Google can easily afford to provide human customer support to creators on YouTube. They simply refuse to do so in order to make more money or for philosophical reasons. Most likely, they view creators as essentially disposable and don't care if they ruin them or not. "Scale" has little to do with it.

Growing up in frugality, I feel I appreciate it a lot, but there's a right way to do it and there's a wrong way. However I feel I identified the limitations early in my life, to do it right.

The way I see it, frugality should be "I don't need 10 pair of sneakers, I can probably do 2 quality ones, and take care of them so that they last" and not "Let's buy a couple of those cheap $10 sneakers from HnM". Spend where it matters, but don't spend because you can or because you want something impulsively.

I feel like this ignores that the death rate is the result of three things interacting: the deadliness of the disease, the density of the population, and the preventative measures taken.

1. The places that are the least hit are the least urbanized. I would guess that the regular flu also hits them less.
2. These number are including a massive shutdown, and preventative measures, that don't usually occur during the flu season.
3. I'm not sure your numbers are accurate. For example, I just spot checked texas, which has 15,421 deaths: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/texas-coronaviru... That is a rate of 1 in 1880, which would put them in the "WAY worse than the flue" category, not "That was definitely a flu".
> Losing my job over them definitely dissuades me from sharing them in the future. This impedes my freedom of speech.

Losing my friends over calling them assholes definitely dissuades me from doing so in the future. This impedes my freedom of speech.

See how nonsensical that is? Just because something makes you less likely to speak your mind doesn't mean it's impeding your freedoms. You have the freedoms to call your friends assholes. They have the freedom not to associate with you anymore (this is called freedom of association, and is part of freedom of speech). That freedom of association is the same freedom your employer is exercising when you make a racist joke and then fire you. You had the freedom to make the joke, they had the freedom not to associate with you after you did. No ones freedoms were limited.

> I think the argument is that if you’re not able to moderate your user-generated content at the most basic levels like running image hashes against the CP database then you shouldn’t be hosting it.

Then surely some minimum level of CP detection should be part of this section, right? If the requirements here are not defined well enough, then any company, from the smallest startup to a behemoth like FB, could be liable for some CP shared through the platform in a novel way that would have been impossible to detect.
That's absurd hyperbole. $25K gas vehicles or $27K Hybrids represent Toyota, not "vehicles without safety features."

Also, you're putting the cart and horse in the wrong order, nobody felt entitled to anything, we were discussing EVs making sense without states needing to push/mandate them which means competitive pricing that's affordable relative to other offerings in the existing market.

Your whole argument feels like a way to shut down discussion.

Even if I agree to the premise (which I do not.. ) it still does not address many many many of the concerns people have around these types of laws including the fact they are largely regressive in nature impacting poor people the most, they are more Climate Theatre than actual effective policy on changing any kind of Climate change, and the unintended effects could be worse either for humans or for the environment

There are many things I think can be done for Climate change, Banning gas powered cars is not one of them

>Not really, it means people do care, which is opposite of the original claim.

The original claim was a casual "people don't care". Not a mathematical formalism for "absolutely nobody cares at all about this not even enough to wanna vote in on HN".

So, yeah, a tiny number of people (the HN upvoters) "do care" in the sense of voting this up and wanting to read about this. Then again, they also care about all minds of trivial posts, so there's that.

That still doesn't mean people actually care, either the billions of customers, or the hundreds of thousands of execs making decisions about using MS or not.

Heck, I read it and I don't care. It's not like I'll stop using MS services, or as if like other companies haven't had the same.

>Not sure honestly. Even if it's a series of small, insignificant purchaso decisions, it can still amount to something significant.

How about it's a insignificant series of small, insignificant purchasing decisions? It's 2020, we have seen the same thing from 10+ other major companies who never had much of an issue after it (stocks, sales, etc) wise.

>That sounds like an insanely toxic environment. This is illogic that you can apply to everything: "well, if Microsoft can get by with cooking the books and violating customer's privacy, so can we."
