DOD spending is ~15% of the total budget. Blaming defense expenditure when 85% of the US total budget is not defense expenditure is an unconvincing argument.

Random Halide user here. (I haven't upgraded the app because I'd rather any bugs be ironed out first.)

I think there should be more details on what customers get with either Pay-Once (which all existing purchasers get), and/or the Membership.

If I were a new user, I would think that Pay-Once means that I'm set for life(time of the product) (seeing as how it's equivalent to slightly under 3 years of membership payments), but the comments here sound like there's a basic feature set that new users would have to pay ~$30 for at first, and newer features would be restricted to people who commit additional regular annual payments.

It's very confusing.

News from a few months ago: You just had your servers hacked into and all your database are belong to them. The black hats demand X number of BitCoins as ransom, but you cannot pay because it violates certain laws. So you hire an intermediary who pays for you, thereby avoiding the legal problem.

It's funny that this is possible. An altruist could create an order for "give a cheeseburger to that one guy who hangs around outside every McDonald's".
General crime rate will decrease as you legalize recreational drug use, but there's no reason to believe that will resolve the many issues that lead to homicide in the United States.

It will reduce the profitability of the drug trade, which may result in less crimes or an increase in other crimes. It may also increase the number of people addicted to drugs, which, in the United States, leads to an exponential increase in both violent crime and property crime [1].

There's many other forms of crime and homicide than drug-related, and plenty of people need the police for reasons that are not related to drugs.

Separately, those people would not be making their living "not outside the law," they would be out of work. Drug legalization doesn't mean we allow existing supply chains from violent cartels.

Is this true? I have seen many articles about companies taking out life insurance policies on low-level employees and not informing anyone. One woman sued a Corp for the proceeds after her husband died.
I'm afraid this car will create more problems than it solves. It is a disappointingly short sighted effort.

To make a difference in a city it needs to shrink down the area occupied by cars today as well as reduce the absolute numbers. Since this car cannot travel at even modest highway speeds it does not replace anyone's primary car. The result is that people will end up owning more cars. If they can afford it.

The second problem is that it puts a new demographic on the road: teenagers. In this segment it would (again, for those who can afford it) replace public transport, bicycling and walking.

I live in a city. I have a small car. What I really want is an even smaller car built around the fact that most of the time I am transporting just myself. But I need to be able to drive at highway speeds in order to not cause traffic problems.

This is an embarrassingly poor design effort. Europeans used to be great at designing nation changing, important small cars. The french had the 2CV and the Renault 4. The Italians gave us the (original) Fiat 500.

Add a couple hundred/thousand to penetrate the roof for an antenna to pickup signal.

WWV might be a better system, but runs you into time zone issues. Do you need a valid SIM to pickup time from 3G?
Presumable the designer(s) of such a system will be able to know in advance whether the resulting matrix will be sparse or not and choose their encoding appropriately. FWIW, for a lot of practical applications the raw sensor data would be non-sparse but it would be transformed/filtered almost immediately into a more space-efficient representation. For example in the case you mentioned (unless you think the entire country is completely underdug by tunnels) most of the raw data can be deleted immediately with no loss of signal as there is no underground system underneath that particular spot of land.
Since they need internet connectivity to phone home status to McCloud, I don't know why they wouldn't just run an NTP client to keep their time synchronized and accurate?

Moreover the $750 you reference must be a commercial product since you can do GPS on a Raspberry Pi for < $50 easily? Which product are you thinking works for this scenario? Think I've seen everything from $300 to $13000 solutions for this over the years.

P&T are a bit too much about being "in your face". Penn just loves to yell to get his point across, where as Randi was tactful and calm. I also had in issue with them grossly misrepresenting several issues, specifically their PETA debacle. They're a bit too scattershot IMHO.
They may not have the obligation to enforce a restraining order, but I imagine >99% of the time they do, and they have for me.

Is it even feasible cycling on some roads where SUVs abound, along with trucks? At the very least, a micro-car is more visible. Yes, we need more cycle / electric bike lanes.
I will say by the time I made the transition, most of the advantages of xemacs had been addressed.

I think I had a better global search and replace method though.
Agreed. I think that the distinction between the objects and their possible representations should be made clear from the beginning, simply because it will make things easier to understand.

IMO, just a couple of chapters from an introductory pure mathematics book is actually the most "to the point" place to start even for people who are not huge fans of math. Just the precise definition of a vector space over a field, a linear operator, a vector basis, the derivation of matrix elements, the usual related examples and some "gymnastics" on paper can make stuff "click" and be a great start for any intended application.
The database is fully interoperable and the keyboard shortcuts aren't dumb.
There are lots and lots of issues with this but I’ll focus on one: The only reason this is legal is because 100% of the liability is pushed onto these beta testers. No matter what happens, even if the car drives into a group of pedestrians at high speed, Tesla can claim they’re not at fault since the driver by definition wasn’t in control of the vehicle.

How do they get away with this?

If we're talking about 3D rendering then a matrix multiplication with a vector are just projections: A 3x3 matrix that transforms a vector is nothing else than that vector being projected onto the 3 axis which are inside the 3x3 matrix. This is very easy to see visually.

A matrix times matrix multiplication (eg 3x3 times 3x3) is just projecting the axis of one matrix onto the other: expressing the coordinate system in terms of a different coordinate system.

The 4x3 (or 4x4) matrix is needed for translation and 3d projection for a 3d triangle onto a 2d plane (screen pixels).

For translation: it's just a hack since if you write it out it's a nice and a fast hack to simulate "movement".

Then for projection you just hack the numbers in the matrix in such a way that you shrink things further apart from the origin.

TLDR: for 3d graphics matrices are used because you can hack them to represent any kind of a transformation.
The reason they are used is because graphics cards are fast at performing dot products. Plus matrix multiplication doesn't require trigonometry or division so it doesn't require the slower transcendental GPU instructions (sin, cos,...).

For other uses their interpretations is different.

I always hated the dull mathematic definition of "a matrix represents a linear map" because what the matrix actually represents is completely context dependent.
Personally speaking, I would prefer for folks at Percona to do that type of comparison. Percona provides additional deployment options to customers, as well as support and consulting for Amazon RDS [1]. I think they're in a better position to provide useful information to customers about the pros and cons, and help them make informed buying choices.

Schools are funded from the federal, state and local level, plus non-government sources (churches etc.). Police is state level, AFAIK. Fire department is paid for by an extra tax on fire insurance (so, I guess you could argue it's a property tax via extra steps), and state funds. For streets, it depends, cities pay for city streets. Autobahn is mostly federal, others are state, federal.

For the taxes, it's complicated, because there are some taxes for which the cities and states can decide the amount, and others (for example VAT), from which they get a certain fraction, but the amount is decided on the federal level.

Edit: Let me add: Property taxes are very strangely regressive. You pay it whether you rent or own, and there is a minimum apartment cost, so you'll always pay, while a low income might not be taxed at all. Then, often, there is a sudden jump from apartment complex to SFH.
Is the fuzzing use case burying the lede here? The ability to translate an aarch64 binary so it can run on a GPU seems like it might be interesting in its own right? Maybe the fact that I'm not coming up with obvious reasons is a clue that there aren't but it's just remarkable to me that it's possible.

Great job folks! Very cool.
Throughout history 99% were lower class. This is coming back. Not being secure about housing, education and healthcare puts you into the lower class. The middle class is almost dead.
As much as I agree with your general point, this electric hummer [0] looks great in my opinion. I'm hoping there is a way of making good looking and safe cars that don't have to look like eggs. Probably easier to say being in Australia where giant trucks like the hummer are still the exception.

Writing plugins in Python is a great way to reduce the size/scope of yaml you have to write, particularly things like filter and vars plugins. You can then use yaml primarily as a data source rather than a programming language.
> ...is changes in expectations about future needs or productivity.

Which are only rational if such things in fact have changed in the past. In that particular hypothetical of mine, they don't. And everyone knows that, the same we we all know in the real world that such things do change. That doesn't require omniscience; it just requires ordinary knowledge of the past and common sense.

Of course in the real world, as I just said, such things do change; but, as I said in my earlier post, that just means that monkeying with the money supply masks real price signals that should not be masked.
I was hoping for someone to jump in and clarify if I'm right or wrong. The evidence I have for this are the self-evidence reduction in mining rewards, the known issue of exponential ledger growth, and the amount of GPU required to be an effective miner as measured by miners moving closer to natural resources for cheaper energy, such as in The Dalles, Ore.:

As a v1 user, I’m confused about the payment options. From reading the blog post, it seems a new user could choose to either pay once for lifetime access, or pay yearly. However, since I’ve been given the upgrade and 1 year of membership for free, I don’t see the lifetime option. Presumably the discounted lifetime price will no longer be available by the time my 1 year runs out. How can I lock in the discounted price now?
> you are going to disband the centralized, omnipurpose paramilitary law enforcement entities known as "police departments", redistribute law enforcement responsibilities among domain-specific entities that for the most part are not exclusively, or even centrally, law enforcement, and not violate the public trust the way police departments

Most of that is financial engineering, not actually investing in the company to many any progress.

A better option would be to remove corporate incomes taxes entirely. Only tax the outflow instead, which would be simpler to implement and easier to deal with at all levels.
You have to look at it closely enough to discover that, which is difficult when you're actively angry at the site.

I just switched to reader mode and used Command-F there instead.
But you're operating on the assumption that companies always have positive investment opportunities available.

This is not the case, and in the event such an opportunity is available, companies would pursue it regardless of the tax environment, because making some money net of tax is better than no money whatsoever.

What such a policy would actually do is incentivize a massive mis-allocation of capital while simultaneously resulting in lower tax revenues. I fail to see how this makes anyone better off.

What purity test is being applied here?

Where is it stated that one must prove any political affiliation or support any ideology in order to use or maintain the software? I see only a single banner on the home page with donation links, but nothing in the license or code of conduct that mentions any requirement of political advocacy on the part of would be contributors, nor any testing of purity or examination of souls.
FWIW, KeePassXC's auto-type can help keep your clipboard free of passwords; its built-in ssh-agent can keep your unencrypted keys off disk; it has the ability to read 1Password .opvault (that is perhaps becoming less important now that their 1Password for Linux is coming out, but it still has no support for _local_ vaults and I'm not holding my breath they'll fix that) ... and that's the best list I can come up with not having actively used either of the other clients
It wouldn't be such a problem if people were willing to accept the simpler, less opulent and lower-impact lifestyle such a housing choice should entail.

Living semi-off grid and with a low environmental impact is possible, but it demands deliberate choices and trade-offs.
I think the Raspberry PI is awesome, but it is a big pile of closed source processing units that no-one completely understands. For example it boots from the GPU, not the CPU. Wow...

NTP is typically backed by GPS.

If you have a datacenter full of computers, obviously you don't want to run a separate GPS antenna for every system. NTP allows systems to synchronize to GPS over a network.
Exactly. The article doesn't say if there was anything unusual about his application process. 8 years is enough to get a citizenship in the UK. 5 years in Australia.

And what I'm saying is that someone who has no experience being a woman, or a person of color, can at most try to imagine what it's like depending on their level of empathy, but it's anything but rational to suggest you know better what that experience is.

>...Actually, history bears out that higher tax rates result in corporations re-investing more of their profits in the company and less in tax-avoidance accounting.

Can't speak for all companies, but higher tax rates generally means more money invested in tax avoidance. If for example, your tax rate was 95% of your income it would be rational for you to put a lot more effort into finding ways to avoid those taxes than if the taxes were 1%.

>...The difference being that the former is low risk and can grow the business,

Low risk? Investing in your business can grow the business or it can be money that could have just as well be thrown away. Lots of businesses have failed because they did bad investments, tried to over-expand, etc.

>...while the other has a good chance of triggering penalties that wipe out the savings and could even result in jail time for one or more executives.

There are no penalties or jail time associated with tax-avoidance - you probably mean tax evasion which is a crime.

>...Consider that the historically highest rates of tax fraud are during the current administration, despite historically low levels of tax on corporate income.

How much tax fraud is there with corporations? According to the IRS:

>...The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has identified small business and sole proprietorship employees as the largest contributors to the tax gap between what Americans owe in federal taxes and what the federal government receives. Small business and sole proprietorship employees contribute to the tax gap because there are few ways for the government to know about skimming or non-reporting of income without mounting more significant investigations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_evasion_in_the_United_Stat...

Another source says:

>... Even though corporate misdeeds grab a lot of press, corporate underreporting accounts for only $67 billion of the tax gap, or 14.8 percent.

Even considering churches in the middle of the pandemic is, from an atheist point of view, equally warped. Isn't God supposedly anywhere by the way? Why do you have to stuff all the people in a specific building in the first place.
The parent example was of "100,000 shares of AMZN... taxed 1,000", which matches 0.1%.

I used that number since that was the number the parent comment saw as being obviously too much already, so I didn't need to use a higher number.

I do think 0.1% would already be pretty appreciable. That's already several 10s of billions a year. The current budget for all of the IRS is on the order of 10s of billions now, so I really doubt adding that new tax would be a net-loss.

And, of course, once you have a wealth tax and the sky doesn't fall, tweaking the number up over time is easier.
