Good income/expense tracking tool for side projects?
I have a side project and would like to track my income and expenses so that when tax time comes it's easy to supply the necessary info. I'd like to be able to attach receipts. I don't need to do payroll or have team members have recurring payments or anything like that.

I'm using Google Sheets right now and storing receipts on dropbox, but it'd be great if there was something simple and cheap to store it all for me. Quick books seems too complicated for what I need.
Nassim Taleb also argues this in his "Minority rule". That all it takes a stubborn minority to bring along changes. This can be both a good thing and a bad thing.

How does this analogy work?

As I understand it, the reason a physical business would ban someone engaging in the behaviour you described is that it would create costly first-order work for the business (cleaning up) and result in a second-order loss of profits due to deterring other customers until the cleanup is complete. Does anything of the sort apply in the case of politically questionable entities using a near-monopolist payment processor to process payments?
I'm sure you could have a civil case against a dead person's estate. Although, my understanding is it's legally and logistically challenging to reopen an estate after it has been settled.

I don't see how you could have a criminal trail against a dead person in the US, without violating the sixth amendment. It would be impossible to inform the deceased of the charges, etc.
This, but also in that I think internet balkanization, if it takes off, will only make it easier to further balkanize it into "micronations" for different ideologies, or corporate brands.
In the US, one party has dedicated itself to making sure the government is dysfunctional for a _long_ time so that it can run on the platform that government doesn’t work and we should privatize everything. This is not a fact of nature, it’s a willful decision. For example, the US used to be a leader in education. The thing that changed since then is one party started defunding education and moving that money to private prisons and defense.

If we as a people collectively agreed that we are as smart as other countries, there’s no reason we can’t have a functional government that can handle public education and vaccine efforts and keep us safe and maintain our infrastructure and everything else we expect our government to do for us.

>These diversity training people do use a different definition of racism then what you are thinking of.

Sure, but this only reinforces u/rayiner's point. Nobody amended or replaced the Civil Rights Act. No vote was held to enshrine a broader definition of racism as legally and ethically binding on all citizens. Instead, a small clique of well-connected professional-class people are imposing this stuff top-down through their control of ostensibly private (but in fact, pseudo-private, often dependent on donations, subsidies, tax breaks, or public funding) institutions.

To my mind, the solution is simple: bring major public institutions back under full public governance and control. No more "we're on private property" rubbish from people taking tax dollars.

And, preferably, a fresh labor law enshrining protection for political opinions in the workplace that do not violate extent civil-rights laws.
The Productivity Guide – Scientifically Proven Techniques to Get Things Done
I can't dispute that this is accurate for you, but for me I'm not seeing it. Bing gives me a knowledge box that says "Average Mortgage Rates Today" and lists a table with 30-year fixed, 15-year fixed, 5/1 ARM and an average rate for each.

That would be a good result but despite the title the rates are from 2018.

Google gives me bankrate.com in the #1 paid and the #1 organic position. This seems like a superior result.

Conservative and Liberal Brains Might Have Some Real Differences

The comparison to religious rituals is interesting. As someone who is Catholic, this looks to me sort of like an attempt at a group confession, but at least in the Catholic tradition we perform examinations of conscience [1] and go to confession [2] and we are told to come to terms with what we actually did wrong. You don't get away with some vague acknowledgement of being a sinner. As the Catechism says, "Through such an admission [a person] looks squarely at the sins he [or she] is guilty of, [and] takes responsibility for them."

Whether one agrees with Catholics on any number of things (and many reasonable people do not), there is a certain logic to the idea that before you can be better, you have to actually say what's wrong. Forcing a group of people to self label as racist in the way described above is unmoored from reality: even if one had done things that were racist in the past, there is no looking squarely at one's short comings, and there is no taking responsibility for anything. And for someone who hadn't done anything racist, or for someone who claims to have never done anything racist, it's just a show, and things won't actually get better in a meaningful way.

Even so, reducing the severity would be great. Even if a patient doesn't die, Covid-19 can have devastating and long-lasting effects. If a vaccine could reduce it to just a mild flu, I think that's good enough. You just have to inject everyone and probably add it to the standard child vaccination set.

The claim is uncomfortable because the word "racism" has a connotation in some circles of basically being a klansman (or at the least of actively hating people based on nothing except for their race).

Admitting said claim for those people does not feel like acknowledging the system we live in against their will or that they have unconscious biases. It feels like acknowledging a serious character defect, worthy of ostracism, being fired, and possibly having a mob show up at your house.

Now, I'm not a prescriptivist. I acknowledge that language evolves, but it does not evolve the same way in every place at the same time. It tends to evolve in a particular place and spread out from there. The particular definition you're using has not spread to the entirety of society yet. Your pitch could really benefit from some localization to the various sub-dialects of the english language if you'd like less push back in the future.
To be a bit pedantic (because this thing is interesting), it's more like a context. In Haskell you'll say "this code must run on the real world".

Mercury literally pretends the world is a piece of state. You explicitly say "Here, run this code. The world before it runs is on variable `a`, place the world after it runs on variable `b`".

Not globally.
A search suggests suicide rates are down 15% in 10 years. That is, suicides have gone down remarkably.

B: Former work history in monetary policy a fan of fan-charts (i.e. central projection isn't the only thing, there is a spread from the central projection).

C: Not willing to over-speculate on either side.

D: Perhaps not a super people person, but not negative either, see A. Quite nuanced if others listen, and would listen to those advising him keenly. And starkly aware of causes of death that are not Covid-19, but linked and accelerated due to it - avoiding hospitals, mental distress, etc.

This is sort of right. Reformer has taken books as a single input and not just in split batches. There are pretrained book-trained models on HuggingFace now. I'm not aware of book-length summarization models yet, but that's not due to the input length issues of the previous generation of xformer models (maybe due to lack of an obvious training set?). So your SQL example should be a thing of the past before long.

What does missing the mark mean though? In 2016 they proposed a c30% chance that Donald would win, and a 70% chance Hillary would win. Does that mean they were wrong? Not really, because that's how probabilistic forecasting works - and they stated their confidence interval - they were 70% confident that Hillary would win, but thought there was a 30% chance Donald would win.

> Why didn't they use the term "privileged" then?

Because that word lacks any form of punch. Being "privileged" does not imply any personal responsibility; it's essentially saying you got lucky.

My understanding is that this tactic of taking very strong words like "racist" or "nazi" and superextending their definitions is just an attempt to harness the strong emotional response people have to these words and direct it at a very large group of people.

The unfortunate side effect is, that it slowly weakens the terminology, to the point where some day being a "racist" might just not be a big deal anymore.

The more direct danger of this strategy is that, in the short term, while most of the population still associates a term with a different definition, it allows quickly invoking very strong emotions with an accusation that is not technically wrong by the newer definition.

This becomes even more obvious when you look at how people often dance around these definitions to deliberately keep the newer definition as esoteric as possible, so the word retains its connotations for as long as possible.
>I don't know what they think they are achieving?

They don't think they're actually hunting down people who hate others based on race. They're self-consciously building class power that serves themselves as individuals and the material interests of their class.
> Is this missile guidance system a weapon in the eyes of the law?

Yes, it is.

> The feds haven't busted down my friends door for contributing yet.

That's a video game. There are no restrictions on building guided-missile-shaped pixels. If it were shown that the technology could be deployed in a real missile, it'd be ITAR real quick, and the person (like yourself) who were the one to show that it could be deployed in a real missile could be guilty of providing technical assistance to a foreign agent via a github release and public comment.

Not that I think that's the case, but it's really best to tread lightly around these things. You don't want to find out that a bunch of small-time terrorists bought a hobby rocket, and uploaded a kerbal mod, and downed a jet full of tourists or ignited an oil field.

That's not how it works. If you don't defend the rights of even the worst to free speech, soon everyone's rights to speech will be in danger. In fact, it's these looked down upon speakers who need protection the most. No one needs the protection of the First Amendment to say things everyone agrees with.

I don't know why you felt like you needed to try to explain to me that information has no will of it's own, speaking of naivete. Perhaps you are familiar with the idea of metaphor? Additionally, "information wants to be free" is an old hacker adage, in case you weren't aware of that.
If you know Tensorflow, hugging face is the best way to get started. It's got easy ways to transfer learn from the big models.
That's because many of us consider freedom of speech to be more important than anti-racism for the simple reason that without freedom of speech, you lose everything, including anti-racism and all the rest.
In no way is "Impeding the transfer of fiat" or "Impeding speech" by a business "a violation of constitutional rights." Like, just to put this in a less contentious context - think about an employer. An employer is allowed to stop an employee from speaking about things, or can punish or fire them for their speech. There isn't some inalienable right to speech. There is a constitutional right to the government not being able to forbid speech as a general rule. But that has no affect legally on a company denying service to someone they disagree with.

Just to make sure I've covered all my bases here: If this was about denying services to a protected class, then you'd have a different response for a different reason -- businesses cannot discriminate on the basis of a protected class. But political beliefs are not a protected class.

As for changing Section 230. The Senate could certainly do all sorts of things to change the way this works. It's clearly an interstate commerce issue, so the federal government could pass all sorts of laws. I don't have an opinion one way or another about how they'd do it, since that's more policy than law.

How to Handle Difficult Situations?
Yep, welcome to the world where people will argue for "more free speech" on a forum that's carefully tended and moderated to remove the extremely vile, low-quality stuff that kills other forums.

Free speech _always_ has limits. Absolutism is a naïve way to view any aspect of society (whether it's free speech, socialism vs capitalism, etc).
If liberal ideals of fairness, equality and so on become considered "hate speech" I believe that the society suffering through that will have much bigger problems to tackle than companies' censorship.

Both sides are not the same.

Kaepernick would beg to differ, I suspect.
Separate economies don't necessarily have to be equal in capability. One may be the dominant while the other operates closer to being a black market, while not necessarily being an actual black market.

Maybe it would be based on cryptocurrency, or a more traditional form of currency that is centralized but isn't USD, for instance. Or someone with a lot of money decides that having dominance over a new economy takes the opportunity and forms their own "competitor" to Visa, but it operates within the economy that Visa decides it doesn't want to be a part of. Then again, maybe Visa one day leaks enough customers that it decides it's not worth being as moralistic.
