I'm confused by your statement that consumers don't know how much they are taxed by VAT.

I live in a country where the VAT is 25%. If I want to know the VAT of a price I just divide by 5 (the price is 125% of the untaxed price so I need to divide by 5 to determine how much 25% is). By law you always have to provide the price including VAT to consumers so people are aware of the actual cost.

This VAT has not changed for a very long time but if it were to increase (perhaps for good reasons) there would be an outrage. This tax is not being increased without people noticing.

On the other hand decreasing VAT is also not going to happen (even if it might be beneficial). A single point decrease would create a huge budget deficit that would be really hard to cover by other means.
You think people's ability to learn is really distinguished by an ability to discern causation and correlation? That does not comport with modern behavioral science.
It works the same both ways.

If you go into a market and try to buy lots of something, it drives the price up because you're increasing demand and removing supply.

If you go into a market and try to sell lots of something, it drives the price down because you're increasing supply and removing demand.

AWS don't obviously have an incentive to sell IP addresses for substantially below market value, so I don't see why buying them from AWS versus someone else would make much difference.
Probably because it was a standalone application before purchased for 22 Billion by Facebook in 2014.
No you just catch the ones that didn't do their homework.

Most of the (solved) crime news I read about, I'm always confounded how unaware criminals are about "tradecraft".

For an example of stupid criminals, I remember reading in the local newspaper about a group of guys that had robbed a store of phone cards (the story is a bit old) and tried to sell them back to said store.

Instead of using a public phone with one of those cards, they just used their own mobile phone to contact the store. Since in France you're required to give ID to get a SIM card, I'll let you guess how long it took the police to find the robbers :)
I don't think Python's approach is particularly more elegant than JavaScript, as they both distinguish property-as-value and property-as-function. It's just a matter of where to put property-as-function (and unlike Python, JavaScript can have non-configurable properties which can be optimized). As property-as-function can subsume property-as-value, no built-in property-as-value would be truly elegant (Ruby is close, but not exact).
When using Redux, components are supposed to select small parts of the state tree, and then they only rerender when those change. It is absolutely not the case that all components render on each unrelated update of the global state, that would be crazy.

https://react-redux.js.org/next/api/hooks#useselector

It is true that all of the selector functions need to run on each change, but those are supposed to be really small pure functions and their performance should be negligible, compared with everything else that normally happens in an app.

Edit: It is absolutely possible to affect performance with Redux, especially on a large app — for example if hundreds of selectors need to run for every keystroke in a textbox.
No, you only pay for time worked in CA. The only exception I found are options/RSUs granted in CA and vested after you've left, these may be taxed in proportion to the time originally worked in CA after the grant.
A couple of weeks ago I noticed we had several active farmers here, today a surgeon with twenty years of experience :-)

I'm happy to see so many different people here in addition to programmers, techies, VC etc.
Yeah, it's not the network admins, they want IPv6 too. If at all possible our network admins want IPv6 only networks, the sad fact is that it's not possible in most cases.

We had to return stacks of Cisco equipment, because despite being brand new it had no IPv6 support. We should have checked of cause, but we just didn't imagine that you could buy IPv4 only equipment in 2020.

Software is even worse, we have had software that advertised IPv6 support, so we build an IPv6 only solution, only to find out that the manufacturer has NEVER had a customer using their software on IPv6. They tested it six years ago and never followed up, meaning that IPv6 does actually work in the latest versions.

Docker is another example, who in their right mind designed Docker to be a IPv4 only solution and then attempts to bolt on IPv6 later. It should have been IPv6 and then if you really needed it you could add an IPv4 ingress. Most of the issues we have experience using Docker could have been avoided by using IPv6 and dropping IPv4 all together.
Just checking: do you know for sure what type of tube was used?

There are two broad types used for general anaesthesia - the endotracheal tube and the laryngeal masked airway, which are very different in design and function.
I'd never looked into the Zodiac stuff before but apparently this isn't the first time he's used that word with that spelling, so it isn't novel, unfortunately.
There's a u shaped curve on pricing. There's a lot of demand for /24s, because sometimes that's all you can justify.

Once you get bigger than what can be easily justified, the prices go down a bit. If you need a /18, you can probably use either an /18 or two /19s or ... You can make it work, and there's not enough benefit for contiguous to pay more. Of course, if you can justify an /8, there is a premium for contiguous. Otoh, not too many /8's for sale.
What is the difference between "forcing everyone to deal with it" and what we've been doing for the last four years? Or, alternatively, why do we think we'll get a different result by doing the same thing over again?

I mean, it seems to me like we already have scepticism in spades. There's two sides, and if one of them said the sky was blue the other would be sure it were green.

It looks to me like what is needed is detached, discerning thinking, which is not the same thing. What reason do we have to think that people will start to do better about it and it will take care of itself?

I'm not opposed to your view, I just don't think I'm on the same page as you and it I'd like to hear more.
I don't disagree, but the difference with drugs is that people specifically seek them out and there is a lot of effort and involved to make it happen through the whole supply chain.

The problems with social media are largely around removing all friction from the process, and adding a huge dose of virality and highly specific targeting. The former means people get a vast amount of information with minimal effort, and the latter enables targeted propaganda which then gets magnified in echo chamber bubbles by the algo.

The individual elements all existed before, but the combination creates pretty unique effects. I'm also skeptical these companies can effectively address the problem since these properties are what has fueled their growth.
The marketing terms here are continuous innovation (that doesn't change user behavior) vs discontinuous innovation (that changes user behavior).
I watched a few episodes, but this show is depressing. I noticed that most of the time they get their suspect because someone "snitches".

AI isn't magic beans, it's only sold that way. AI will have DRM. Can you use GPT-3?

John Deere can at any time remove the DRM so not sure why they will get nails in their coffins. They have the lead and can pivot at any time. If DRM is a killer...
More Corporate Crypto Support with a $100M Bitcoin Buy from MassMutual
Like a lot of right-leaning folks are inclined to do, affordances are made for “free markets” that adversely affect their property or net worth.

There are certainly plenty of more progressive voices with broader concern sets about services like AirBnB. It was never being proposed that there are no progressive voices.

They just represent a thinner, less upvoted slice.

I will, however, concede that libertarian does not necessarily mean right-leaning, though they presently seem to hang together.
Hrmm it's not that much of an error since that is dominated by the /14 and /15 but there's a few /16 that Google uses for itself that aren't in that list. See the DNS TXT records for _netblocks{,2,3}.google.com

Very interesting! I don't think that grammar is the issue here. "FDA" and "the FDA" are apparently used interchangeably no matter the sentence. With NASA, the difference is that no one spells out N.A.S.A., you say it as one word. With FDA, you spell it out. Please correct me if I'm wrong :)
I get a forbidden PHP error message with leaked server details in the place where the video should load.
Woah thanks for your feedback @rendall. Added them as "Speed Coding" and "Quality Code"
The issue with coatings and lubricants is that you’d need to use a nontrivial amount for them to be effective, and that means the patient is at risk of aspirating the substance. That happens, and boom, you’ve got aspiration pneumonia. Even with some kind of encapsulated or solid gelatin coating you’d have to be very careful to make sure it doesn’t leave any kind of residue or break into pieces that could be aspirated.
> It's about freedom of Reach, not freedom of speech.

What a snappy cliche. If you prohibit certain people from using the printing press but allow others to do so, then in practice you are limiting their freedom to speak relative to other people. To imply otherwise is either disingenuous or profoundly misinformed.
They're still around! Well, Tekkit has stopped developing modpacks, but plenty of mods are still being updated, most of which are available on Curseforge. For a Factorio-like feel I'd say Create, Immersive Engineering and the modpack Omnifactory are great.

I don't think cutting them out of your life is setting a boundary. That's like the difference between putting a fence around a cow pasture (a boundary) and slaughtering the cows for meat. One is a bit more permanent than the other. Not really a boundary but an excising.

Lynx, Links, w3m: all capable user-agents.

I have at various times found myself unable to use a GUI, and these browsers saved my butt finding information to restore my system.

This is why I test all functionality in all three of them and ensure that they are just as able to use the site (or better) as Chrome Canary.
That's a common misconception. NAT isn't a security feature but rather a feature of a stateful firewall, which is. There's no reason to remove the firewalls that are in place now when ipv6 happens.

I've seen several coding conventions that prohibit the use of past perfect aspect in boolean query methods (e.g. `checked`) in favor of an explicit auxiliary verb (e.g. `didCheck`). Also sophisticated concepts frequently get transliterated. 20 might be a stretch but less than 1000 is not that impossible.
There is more than one vaccine. I will probably take a particular vaccine if I am convinced it is safe and if it's mandatory or something I see almost everyone else doing.
I've never really considered this before but it's interesting. Does this happen randomly or is there some geographic/tower based IP sharing?
> Almost no areas are seeing above-average utilization of hospital or ICU beds.

That's not really relevant to what I'm talking about, though. COVID-19 hospitalizations and ICU utilization (and deaths) are surging with the expected lag behind new cases, which wouldn't be expected if the new case surge was an illusion from, e.g., symptomatic colds leading people to get tested and discovering what would otherwise have passed as asymptomatic COVID-19 cases.

Whether the overall hospital or ICU utilization is seasonally high is a different issue.
I'm sure you mean that sarcastically, but you shouldn't. It's fun to complain about "the establishment," until it isn't there anymore. In the current case, "the establishment" means American democracy, which is built on people's faith in the institution of elections. If you erode that faith, democracy no longer works. That may be fine with you, but it's not fine with me.

There is a standardized way you can tell devices to go to sleep or hibernate. This is implemented by the firmware core.

The people who write that firmware code test a lot to make sure it works when the device is programmed the way Windows programs it.

If Linux turns out to use the device in a different way the procedure is untested and often this firmware is very buggy which is why it isn’t reliable.
I’d say anyone curious would have learned English already.

(Before I get bashed for this, I speak 3 languages well and 4 more poorly, English is my third. It really isn’t a difficult language to learn when all American media and most of computing uses it.)

I don't believe it is entirely arbitrary. Just as there are categorizations of machine, turing machine vs push down automata vs finite state machines, which determine their ability to solve certain problems, there are differences between categories of algorithm and their ability to solve certain problems.

There are many "learning" algorithms beyond what is popularly called ML today but they have in common that they use information about their own success or failure to inform future results.

So you're clearly not actually following the proceedings of any of this anyway, so what difference would it make?

Testimony has been broadcast, court rulings are public, the reasoning and legal procedure is all happening in the open.

You're demanding transparency because it suits whatever narrative you have in your head, yet demonstrating you won't put any effort into following the process which is already public.
The article never adequately explains how the increase in difficulty affects multiplayer gaming. Football is played beween 2 players, so the difficulty is defined by the skill of the competitor. Does EA favor one of the players? How would that result in increased spending?
I'm not 100% sure, but if WhatsApp wanted to run their own datacenters, then they'll need their own IP ranges, and BGP/AS numbers is how IPs are "routed".

The AS number is used to let others know that a given IP range is reachable via your router.

I'd like to give a better explanation, but I think it would be wrong. BGP is really hard for me to grasp, even if my networking colleagues claims it's not really that complicated.
Feels like the solution here is to pay income taxes instead of property taxes. ;)
Supporters of AOC most likely view her similarly, through rose colored glasses.

If both sides of the divide describe their political champion as such and claim their opponent lacks these qualities, where does that leave the discussion?

Others might suggest that both are virtuous and attempt to synthesize their platforms. They're not entirely incompatible. Cynics might suggest that they both lack these qualities, or that all politicians are inherently corrupt.

No, I don't think this assertion is a meaningful start to a discussion. It reads as a signal of tribal loyalty, nothing more.
Take qanon. I don't it naturally spreads as virulently as drugs. But when you add Facebook into the mix, people are able to disseminate this information instantly to people who just don't understand how to vet sources. The comparison to drugs just doesn't work.
Idk what professional woodworkers do today, but I just hit very easy for first few times (bait? non-native speaker) and then the nail holds with its “spearhead”, so you can remove your hand away from the danger zone. Or use pliers. I agree with the commenter above, hitting fingers is frankly a noob’s issue that is completely avoidable without rocket tech.
Why suffer through that.
It’s not like the flu. The strains aren’t functionally different, with the possible exception to the one that spilled back over from infected mink which was slightly less responsive to human antibodies in lab experiments. Unless there’s more significant change the vaccine should work for all the different variants.

EDIT- Be careful reading too far into statements like “XYZ mutation makes it easier to bond to ACE2 therefore it’s more contagious” Infection is more than just binding to a receptor, even if lower quality preprints jump the gun in their conclusions
> They're private platforms. You can send those links via many other routes ...

That is a complete non sequitur. You say it's not about freedom of speech. Someone responds that, in fact, blatant censorship is occurring. You don't even attempt to refute this point, instead falling back to pointing out that the censorship isn't illegal!

Censorship reduces freedom to speak. That statement remains true whether or not the speech happens to be legally protected, and regardless of how wide spread the censorship might be.

I'm mainly basing it on the graphs provided: The cases don't spike until after the "G" strain is present, no matter how long the "L" and "S" strains were present beforehand.

Actually I think I should have said "infective" rather than "virulent" there; basically lockdowns select for versions of the virus that can spread despite the lockdowns. It only looks more virulent because of the larger number of total infections.
I have certainly noticed this but am largely unsurprised by it. I've been much more shocked by the number of people I've worked with in the tech industry who believe that #2 is far more advanced than current evidence suggest and that it will lead inevitably to #1.

I'm not opposed to the hypothesis but the number of people I've encountered who really believe current heirarcical neural nets are the end all tech is truly head scratching. Especially when so many technologies such as the Internet have not produced certain expected results and completely surprised with such unexpected ones.
Yeah, I limited to GCP rather than trying to pull together everything Google owns for simplicity.
To some degree yes. For example, can the fields of mathematics and advanced physics or programming be studied to the degree they are with an understanding of causation?

For some things, correlation can be sufficient, so I can see where you are coming from.

As a better counterpoint: if we could not distinguish between causation and correlation, why is general AI so hard?
Out of curiosity, did anything particularly bad happen due to working for a place playing this game? Asking for a friend..
Explanation can be simpler. If I design "classical" polyalphabetic cipher and seriously think about the possible attacks, removing frequent characters and introducing phonetic misspellings is the first think to do. Preventing frequency analysis and basic dictionary attacks make decrypting attack much harder.
In another comment in this thread, you mention that a condition of being marginalized is being non-white. The logical inverse of that is white people cannot be marginalized. Yet here, you acknowledge that white people can be marginalized.

So, which is it?

The common thread seems to be economic status as another commenter stated.
So do they actually use these addresses for something or are they simply stockpiling them?

Some jurisdictions have laws regarding real estate that, if it not be used for about a decade, it becomes legal to squat.

This is primarily in densely populated jurisdictions where real estate is a scarcity and the government doesn't want it to go unused.

A similar structure could actually be made for IPv4 addresses.
Well, I was being a little unfair. Clearly press releases are less likely to use “in-speak” since, by definition, they are meant for outsiders.
As I've been mostly using Python for the last 10 years I forgot how nice this dot thing can be ;). True that vscode and pycharm can give you something but I found that it's very often crap.

I am writing a little bit of C# atm and astonished how you can just dot tab through your work (without ever having read a tutorial or book on C#) and all those other contextual information you get with "full" visual studio. Somehow feels like just letting you guide through the work :).

On the other hand, the students I teach really struggle when they don't have all their IDE tricks.
They learn almost exclusively C# at their institution in the first year(s) while my experience is mostly playing with Unity ;).
I find a lot of the media (here in Japan anyways) call literally every automation by computers or machines AI.
