I wouldn't argue that rates wouldn't go up. We might not agree on how much. For example, would jubilee in 20 years have an affect on a 5 year car loan? As far as homes go, maybe we'd just do home loans like the Canadians do, renewing/refinancing them every five years or less, timed with the debt jubilee. Doesn't need to be a big deal.

I look at it as mostly a thought exercise, questioning the way we currently handle debt. I think there is a lot of room for improvement. Maybe debt jubilees would act as a check on out-of-control debt, which seems to be a thing lately.

Take student loans. Politicians are talking about forgiving those debts. Maybe it's not such a crazy idea? But then again what they plan on doing will amount to just giving the banks the money, either inflating the money supply or treasuries that future generations have to pay back. Ugh.
>He's right when he says that your desk location (your main office, not necessarily HQ) according to HR is what matters.

Incorrect, you kind of have this backwards. If you're a resident in another state (Texas), and are conducting work in that state (Texas, home office), then HR has to make sure they're conforming to the labor laws of that state (Texas), not the state of the office where you used to work (California).

>You could maybe fight with the State of California for the refund next year, but in the meantime you'll pay taxes in the state if your paycheck says so.

That's why it's pertinent to change your residency as soon as you move, and then update HR the same day. Else you're fighting an uphill battle for no reason.

>If your desk is in NYC, but live in CT or NJ, you'll pay taxes in two states, even if you haven't set foot in your office for months.

No longer true if you no longer actually work there.

>You can try changing your residency to e.g. Texas as you say, getting assigned by HR to a new office or marked as remote, but you can bet that the original state will try everything in their book to keep some of your money.

And you can give them the middle finger because they're wrong. Spending $300 to get your taxes prepped by a CPA will stop 99% of this shenanigans.

>Although you're right in general, there is actually a history of CA going aggressively after the money of residents of other states, like the screenwriter in AZ that did a lot of work for a California customer

That's because he was deriving his income as a unitary business from entirely California sources: https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2019/10/22/now-calif...

Again, a lot of states have similar laws on the books (VA, NY, etc.).

I would guess that part of the graph has been steadily increasing over the years as well.

By definition (or at least by a definition I recognize), model is a person or thing used as an example to follow or imitate. Personally, I don't really care, but I can see why it might be difficult for some to accept some of the performers as models.

Not quite so, Somebody, ultimately, will define the agenda.

Maybe now is an algorithm, some person censoring news or posts for fcbk, but if you involve the government, any government, they will define the agenda.

So, the most you can get from that deal is to choose who would you want to be your master.

With algorithms at least we - still - have the out of sight factor, some things the algo doesn't "see" or "understand" (quite few probably), but if involve governments, specially the american government, with thousands and thousands of interests, some of them even confronted; you could end with some franken-facebook promoting several hundred of agendas from who-god-knows.

I have no solutions, but I can tell you, there are problems ahead.

Not at all trying to dehumanize anyone. Just don’t think pornography should be ubiqitous on the internet. A simple “adult models” would have been better. I don’t want my 7 year old daughter to search top paid models and end up finding this list of models.
I found this a very insightful distinction. Thanks for this.
Rothbard ended up as extreme paleocon, and his adherents such as Hans-Hermann Hoppe developed his line of thinking to its logical conclusion:

"In a covenant concluded among proprietor and community tenants for the purpose of protecting their private property, no such thing as a right to free (unlimited) speech exists, not even to unlimited speech on one's own tenant-property. One may say innumerable things and promote almost any idea under the sun, but naturally no one is permitted to advocate ideas contrary to the very purpose of the covenant of preserving and protecting private property, such as democracy and communism. There can be no tolerance toward democrats and communists in a libertarian social order. They will have to be physically separated and expelled from society. Likewise, in a covenant founded for the purpose of protecting family and kin, there can be no tolerance toward those habitually promoting lifestyles incompatible with this goal. They – the advocates of alternative, non-family and kin-centered lifestyles such as, for instance, individual hedonism, parasitism, nature-environment worship, homosexuality, or communism – will have to be physically removed from society, too, if one is to maintain a libertarian order."

(Then neo-reactionaries took it from there, ditching all the excuses to present this state of affairs as "libertarian", and correctly calling it the new feudalism.)
heh - before I worked for SuperMac I worked for the company that ported A/UX to the Mac for Apple, the SuperMac guys brought in one of their early (not Sony) monitors for me with the hope that I'd make it work on A/UX for them (I did) .... I was sitting there showing the port of X I'd just done to some co workers when suddenly the screen did this weird twisty spiral thing .... just outside the window was a truck carrying some ex-BART railstock was driving past ... essentially a giant bar magnet
Because it looks cool and makes for lots of stories in the media like this one. People have reliably used webcams with the cap on to create entropy suitable for effectively true random numbers.
> and that democracy is why we want free speech

We don't "want free speech," it exists and a government that represents free people will recognize that.

The founders arrived at a consensus with representative democracy. They realized the dangers of democracy.
A lot of farms do operate on acreage that is fairly remote to their garage space (a lease or similar can be miles away).
I'm sure "random strangers they know nothing about personally" made up a large portion of the Vikings enemies.

I'd also wager that the battlefield scenario that the Viking belief was developed around would simply divide everyone into "allies" and "enemies." So a killer who sees himself as following that logic would apply the same black and white logic, their victims being enemies in some personal war.
Usually when people says "biggest" it's by market cap.
The Overton window is reasonably pegged to the right, within the US if not globally. The dense tech community here espouses a lot of ideas around meritocracy and capitalism that make it reasonably center/right-leaning.

This is of course not to suggest right wing extremism is present here, but merely a general lean. A lot of folks mistake being “socially liberal” as sufficient to be “left-leaning” when in reality the fiscal part of the equation is inextricably linked as well.

The big government and regulation one often sees as part of implementing an equitable society is not supported here. You know that as well as I do. This is a community with a lot of hackers and startup minded folks who see regulation / government involvement as an impediment rather than a platform to lift up the disenfranchised.

Disruptors don’t like the forces that squash disruption. Fairly unremarkable.

Of course you can blame them, given what has publicly been known about the virus for months.

This virus has been primarily spread by people who are pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic, particularly indoors and maskless.

At this point, if you're indoors and maskless with anyone outside your family or "pod" you are completely culpable if you spread the disease. Probably not legally, but morally.
It's not legal. The buildings are not zoned for housing. Google interns learned this the hard way. You are not allowed to sleep at a Google office for more than three days in a row and you must have a permanent residence on file. Shipping packages to the office is OK but personal mail is not. Unless those packages are big knives or empty shell casings for reloading. (That was learned by an acquaintance.)
I don't think I've encountered a single smartphone by a reputable vendor that has had significant issues sleeping, no matter the chip vendor or OS.

Meanwhile people do have serious issues with sleep even on Intel Macs running MacOS and Thinkpads running Windows. For whatever reason PC chip / hardware vendors just cannot get sleep to work properly. Apparently the problem is so low-level that even a company like Apple cannot paper over the problems without throwing out Intel entirely and using their own SoC in the new Macbooks.
Considering the positive reception of the M1, I'd like to see the cases where the M1 does sorely lose to the Intel chip as the post alludes to. The SIMD sounds promising in that regard, but I don't know processor technology that well.

Does anyone know where the Intel chip greatly outdoes the M1?
I'm struggling to understand the 1st amendment doesn't apply to private companies argument. Are you saying that Google, under its own volition, independently of the democratic party decided it was their ethical or patriotic duty to take this action? This is the company that built the platform that amplifies crazy ideas (many crazier than this) to hundreds a millions of people for profit. It's also well know that there's a revolving door between google and democrat administrations and campaigns. Or are you acknowledging that google and the DNC have a symbiotic relationship and that this is a valid loophole that the government can use to censor people?
Bear in mind that one of the options being considered is suspending the Constitution and declaring martial law, as suggested by retired Army General Michael Flynn, Scott Grady and leaders of the Tea Party.

And of course, thanks to the Second Amendment, civil war is always an option.

These are lunatic options but we appear to be living in lunatic times.

People could be conflating those two reasons.
I'm sorry but trust isn't a binary value. I trust people in my life to be reliable and trustworthy to a certain extent and in certain areas. I don't trust my party-animal buddies to be on time for breakfast a 8 AM, and I don't trust my stressed out workaholic friend to just chill on a Friday afternoon.

You cannot simplify trust to a single variable; you have to go case by case. And trust in the masses is partial; finding where it is and where it is not is critical.
Probably bigger exhaust pipe (ie: not 3?” PVC) and straight up so it always acts like a solar chimney or Venturi pump.

I’m unsure which is more efficient in the end.
If people disagree with YouTube's normative choices they can (a) wage a boycott, (b) create a new platform that follows the desired norms, (c) attempt political action to regulate private companies.

I don't think (a) is very effective due to the practicality of network effects and also that video hosting is quite expensive. A distributed system may solve the money issues of (b), but the legal ramifications of child exploitation will chill any unmoderated distributed system. For (c), because of the first amendment, I'm not sure what political regulation is possible (see Citizen's United). The government probably can't regulate YouTube's free speech (hosting videos) even if that limits other peoples speech (on their platform).

I think one solution would be a distributed but not private video peer-to-peer hosting system. Perhaps like a public IPFS? Speech would protected against government intervention, but without privacy it could be easily policed. I don't think a peer-to-peer system will gain any traction if it is possible to host illicit content that the government could punish you over, so that's why I raise those points.
Running x86 code? :)
The modern democratic party is centrist at best. Things are a bit skewed in our ever-unequal society.
I doubt anyone will come in and "clean house" - especially not from a VC-funded startup. The (oft-subsidized) money is just too good to "leave on the table". The best we can hope for, are solid Right-to-repair laws that make DRM illegal/possible to bypass to at least allow custom firmware
Does this open the door to having websockets on cloud run?
No, but would love to see it.
The principle is simply: It is important to exercise our rights.

In a different circumstance, I would probably only get it for convenience, because I don’t really believe in messing with peoples’ immune systems without a much clearer benefit. I’m not convinced about the long-term public health benefit of flu shots either. You may disagree, which would not surprise me.

But again, that thinking is irrelevant in this case, because exercising liberty is FAR more important than “staying safe”.

Expanding on that "last-ditch chance" a little more, if an objection is raised during the joint session of Congress, there are then votes held in the House and Senate separately to decide whether to reject the electoral votes that are in question. Unless both chambers agree, the electoral votes remain valid and must be tallied.

At least that's my non-expert understanding from reading 3 U.S. Code § 15:

Anecdotally I recently grabbed a M1 MacBook Air and it’s an incredible machine. I prefer it over my work issued 2019 pro. It could be that the MDM software has slowed down the pro, but overall the experience with the M1 is very good.
4 x86 decoders, all modern x86 CPUs have micro-op caches that are wider than 4 and the retire width of the machines are 6 or greater. Saying it can process twice as many instructions per clock cycle is an incredibly incorrect statement.

It's still your civic duty to get the vaccine just like distancing and mask wearing. Just because it's not proven to be a silver bullet doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.
For anyone who doesn’t know who the author is, he has written a ton of high performance code, the most notable being simdjson, fast_float and roaring bitmaps.

Well, as someone who doesn't own a lightening cable, it means that I would need a specific cable for these ones. Which kind of negates the point of a wireless headset if I need a specific cable to charge it.

I'm sure there are some around that would prefer this bit of terse review. There are less words in this tech review than in most "when I was a kid, mom would make us this" type of story before you can ever get to the actual recipe.
I never said otherwise.

The reason why I'm backing h3cate and the reason why he probably spoke up is that the notion that this is a civic duty invites the idea that it's sure to protect other people, when it hasn't yet been proven to do so.

Indeed, one should get it on the chance that it does, but I'm betting a lot of people will assume the vaccine suffices for others' protection.
Yes, you CAN win by being bundled with a popular product, it helps tremendously. But I said it's no garanty.

Android is the most popular mobile OS on earth and I remember when Google+ was bundled as part of the base OS image. Even that and the huge marketing Google did wasn't enough to popularize the service and Google ended up killing it.
Good effort by the author. I was expecting to see a bit more elaborate benchmarks, to be honest. I had a look at M1 Macbook Air yesterday at the local store. Everything felt snappy and the display is brilliant. I'd go for at least 16 gigs of RAM. I'd probably wait for the 2nd iteration as well.
I'm young, I was in good overall health, I took precautions, I developed covid symptoms 2 weeks ago and I'm fighting it off in a hospital right now. I came in with partially collapsed lungs and pneumonia. I'm expected to be here until next week. This virus is something from hell. It is a miserable and scary experience that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

I would take a vaccine (only Pfizer or Moderna) and the associated risks over the experience I'm having now 10/10.
I want to start contributing to open source projects like these, but the process seems somewhat intimidating.

What I found shocking is just how drastically faster some workflows are.

If you work in JS and Node (say doing unit tests for an angular web app) this machine is so much better it’s unbelievable. It’s probably less than half the time to run tests. Half. It’s real productivity change.
I'm so very sorry for you. It pains me to see her going through this an know it's exponentially worse for her. She can't even hold our toddler and dance with her any more. It's been so long that she doesn't even think to ask. Faddy dances and mommy sings.
You're not really offering any solutions with these platitudes, because if we take your statement to its conclusion, heck it seem we'll just have to live with a third of the population being lulled into supporting potentially violent and seditious people who want to subvert democracy itself. Oh, guess we'll just have to let them or allow the situation to devolve into a civil war.
> Packrat parsers are notably faster than recursive descent parsers

I think this needs to be qualified. I don't think a packrat parser is going to beat a deterministic top-down parser. Maybe the packrat parser will win if the recursive descent parser is backtracking.
Modern DNA analysis and forensics might have something to do with it. It's a lot harder these days than 50 years ago to not leave any evidence.
I believe it is a representation of the racial justice protests over the summer. Part of a "cure" for the ills of racial.

Then don't listen to them, the same way the rest do. Doesn't mean you should get to silence them.

A bullshit peddler named Dr. Atkins was the only guy in the 90's saying that eggs were good for you. The rest of the establishment physicians said eggs were bad for you, guacamole was bad for you, all fat was bad, eat more pasta.

They were all wrong, Atkins was right (when it comes to eggs.) But if Youtube had existed, people like you would have said he was dangerous and demanded he be removed. That's the problem:
How do you know the people you think are quacks are actually quacks? What about when the establishment is wrong. The Australian doctor who claimed ulcers were caused by bacteria was silenced, mocked, and ridiculed for decades. He was right, as we know now.

Yann LeCunn was mocked and ridiculed for his neural networks. He was outright rejected from conferences, and papers ignored, despite having groundbreaking results that set new benchmarks, because the established CS folks had decided that neural nets were garbage in the 80's. They were wrong, he was right.

But it's cool, I trust you to make decisions for me on what I can hear.
