It's a necessary condition. The curriculum is crafted specifically in this way. See for example A TEACHER GUIDE TO THE CALIFORNIA ECONOMICS STANDARDS[1].

From unit 1.2:

> HUMAN CAPITAL[Many textbooks discuss “labor” instead of ‘human capital.” We use “human capital” because it involves much more than physical attributes and helps students focus on the reason why they are in school.]

Student's earliest exposure to formal economic education begins with definitions that deceive people into believing they are capitalists when they are in fact selling their labor power for wages.

> This is often repeated but not necessarily true.

This is always true. It doesn't have to go to zero to qualify as plummeting.
Ultimately, this is a semantic debate trying to apply human linguistic constructions to physical processes.
Several journalists violated dispersal orders and curfews, and were subsequently arrested and their arrests were recorded. But the police were also arresting non-journalists violating the curfews. There's zero indication that police were targeting journalists. In fact, the opposite many journalists were released hours after being arrested.

Contrary to what seems to be common belief, being a journalists does not confer any special rights or exemptions
That depends. Did I tell 60,000 people to come up with new ideas and send them to me? Am I talking on the phone to someone who says they have a new idea? And, after I give that person their 5 minutes (or whatever), does it sound like a marketable product idea?
Just no. Your link is about coreboot. The FSF endorsement is of PureOS (does not contain coreboot).
It came from the same developer. The mere fact that he was that sloppy in securing a publicly-facing service to leave a vulnerability so severe and so easily discovered should have you asking: why should I believe that anything else in this project is any more robust and secure (and will be in the future)?
> Two things I haven't seen anyone mention that seem important

Perhaps because those items are either obvious or add nothing to the conversation.
So today in theory according to https://elinux.org/STM32 you can buy an STM32F4 board which costs about 100RMB (USD$15) including external ethernet PHY and SD card and run Linux on it. It looks like STMicro is seeking a very competitive price point for STM32F407 class chips right now and you get USB OTG, camera, etc. as well as "more RAM than anyone will ever need". I would like to see that.
>While the actual product being advertised may be irrelevant, do remember the names of the companies selling them?

I can't think of any company names that I'm not a customer of. I can think of a few products (Raid Shadow Legends), but it seems like that's a pretty huge investment just to make me remember a product I know I'm not going to use.

There shouldn't be a pre-ipo auction, the stock market should be the auction. That's what the SEC is enabling here. This is good for the companies and good for the retail investors, bad for the middlemen.

Sure, I can work with a 3440x1440 34". Heck, I've worked with CGA monitors back in the day, and black and white (!) SUN Sparkstation monitors.

But, as you said, it's about looking better. "Doesn't look like crap" is a pretty low bar, no? For 2020, and after 10 years of hi-dpi phones and laptops, I expected better from monitor companies...

> 6. All bitches bleed during proestrus.

The word “bitch” has changed so much in cultural meaning during the last 50 years or so that somehow it feels more offensive to call a female dog a “bitch” then a human.

How is “bitch” used in veterinary hospitals?
According to the SEC, XRP isn't a currency, so it does have a market cap.
Their filings state they grew from a 1.43B asset base in 2018 to a 1.59B asset base in 2019.

I guess it doesn't matter how much cash you're bleeding if the underlying product (the company) is increasing in value.
I’m anti-xrp but the smugness in your post is insufferable. Segwit has failed to reach even 50% adoption after all these years, future protocol upgrades are a decade away, and the lightning network is a centralized mess. Small blockers hijacked the network via block stream and ruined bitcoins scalability at the behest of their $400 mil investors. /r/Bitcoin is one of the most censored subreddits, ironic for a centralized platform. All you have now after years of stagnation is digital scarcity. Meanwhile ETH has shipped phase 0 of 2.0, is already 50% faster on 1.0, and is not slowing down any time soon. Your smug “we can/have done nothing wrong” attitude literally caused the BCH/BSV forks and have done nothing but hold crypto back.

ok, wow. TIL such thing exists.
I would suggest that my flying car example is one where it's not true. Another example would be intermediate industrial products: everyone who has intermediate chemicals is trying to sell them! Everyone who buys them uses them up as fast as they can, which means that at any given moment, virtually every owner of the intermediate industrial chemical is trying to sell it.
It for sure wasn't irony. We're basically all pretty evil dudes.
The SEC press releases page is quite busy. Just on today there is so much. I just checked this one out: https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2020-333

Holy cow! It pays to be a whistleblower in securities. Its probably a fairly good career path to seek being a mole in crummy investment banks just for the payout.
I think it's pretty optimistic (? or pessimistic) to assume that the "chemical experiment" would have a chance in hell against the bacterial super-predators that have spent billions of years evolving to adapt to this environment.
The fundamental premise of this story is flawed given how most board/c-suite positions are attained and how almost all wealth is acquired e.g. inherited.

Citation needed. From a simple google search it seems 55.8% of Billionaires are "self-made" [1]. Sure some of them started off with silver spoons (i.e. Gates) but they did not inherit the billions they made from starting companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla, etc.

Yeah, I know that. There's no easier way to create a permanent underclass than to restrict access to education and stifle ideas that are threatening to the status quo.

BTW, the 9 point outline in that PDF is actually a good framework for understanding and learning to navigate a capitalist, market economy, so I wouldn't say it exactly makes your point.

Edit: Ah, ok, the indoctrination portion of the program comes a little later on in the file, lol. :P. Consider the last part of my last sentence withdrawn.

> (Do you get why some people are pushing back on your comment above? You can come up with this kind of stuff for anything. You can't eat an apple today without possibly furthering child labor, our world is too complex to try and turn every feel good story into a dig for downsides, because they will always exist. It is in no way "important" to do suss them out. And it's fine to discuss them, but you don't need to make it a reaction to the feel good story, you're allowed to just discuss these topics independently of the story)

There's actually a problem with "rags to riches" stories, specifically: they're used, sometimes knowingly, sometimes not, to justify and reinforce unjust systems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rags_to_riches#Criticism). Looked at objectively, they're often essentially a dramatic version of someone buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot.
>On YouTube we’re up to 2 pre-rolls these days along with an interstitial per 10 minutes, the in-stream advertising by the programme itself, the youtube page furniture ads and the obligatory roll of affiliate links in the description box.

I think we're finally back to how it used to be on video sites: ads everywhere. This was the norm before YouTube, because video hosting is expensive.
I shared a YouTube link with hundreds of videos of pitbull attacks caught on camera. Watching one or two of those videos should constitute a substantial argument if someone has an open mind.

From experience, I can spend a solid hour writing arguments and I'll get downvoted anyway by all the SJWs here who refuse to accept anything differing from they believe in.

Even if one person decides to watch any of those videos and changes their mind about getting a pitbull I'll be happy for saving a life and I don't give a damn about downvotes.

One possible reason was blackmail. if XRP/Ripple got a few of the key members in the CEO group entrapped, they could easily force the banks to buy XRP. It didn't go too well.

That only works out if you can sell your mobile for $50k - typically (there are exceptions based on location and market conditions, but typically) mobile homes depreciate in value, while 'fixed' homes appreciate.

6 years ago if you'd put that $50k down on a 200k house, you'd have had a ~1k mortgage and a home that has appreciated to ~240k, instead of a mobile home that has depreciated.

A lot of nitpickers commenting on this, but ignore them. Your basic thesis is correct: the ultimate valuation of the company matters way more than anything else. As engineer #100, say, the stock granted to you as a % of the options pool is negligible: there are effectively no differences in the ownership fraction no matter what company you choose. Whether you choose a company that grows into 50 billion vs 5 billion makes all the difference.

If you choose a company that ends up achieving a 500 million valuation as engineer #100, then your time will be wasted, massively. You will end up making no or -ve amounts of money.
I'm not sure how well either is known to the public, notwithstanding Gleik's book that highlighted Shannon. Personally I'm not sure I'd immediately name one or the other as generally better known. But then I went to school somewhere that had a display about Wiener on a highly-trafficked corridor. Shannon does seem to be in more vogue these days though.

Punk’s vehicle, message and consumption have been at odds with one another since before the Sex Pistols. That this game blends marketing hype & consumerism with the creative guidance of the Cyberpunk tabletop creator fits in quite well.
Ofcourse. Any new technology or product will have negative repercussions. Just a question of the extent. But don't assume newer is necessarily is better. There's also a perverse incentive among litigation enthusiasts just to find harm a product does and then amplify it out of proportion. It's kind of a cottage industry. Asbestos was an incredibly efficient insulation. I don't think anything has matched it. Just not when its mishandled.
Hey it seems like you have a bit of an agenda by posting this comment twice to different commenters who recommended this book. This isn’t an attack of you, what would be good is if you could explain your view a bit more than just an opinionated dismissal of the book. Is it the writing that sucks? Is it factually incorrect (And how is it?)? Some of us are interested in reading more about the history of information theory and it helps to have considered dissenting opinions to decide what to read and what to trust :)
Hmm, I'm having trouble understanding what you mean. 120V is the standard household plug in North America. If you're in, say Europe, I don't imagine you'd see a house with 120V as IIRC, 220V is the standard, and you generally have to connect to your local grid. I think the parent's post about 120V was about international devices that may have to work in North America, for instance.
This is so true. It blows my mind that nothing exist beyond zxing. Barcodes are everywhere, and quick access to them is the gate-way to a million cool apps, etc.

Thank you for sharing this. Regarding behavior, do intact male dogs also attract aggressive behavior towards them? My (intact male) dog isn't aggressive, but a few times now other dogs have attacked him (not resulting in serious injury, but was super scary). I was told by a trainer that he could be emitting hormones that cause this behavior in other dogs.

The rated speed of your access point is essentially shared with all clients in that channel. So if you've got 16 devices, they all share that few gigabits of potential airtime assuming they have all nearly perfect connections to the AP. My 16-port gigabit switch can handle 32Gbit of switching, significantly more throughput than the latest WiFi can even hope to achieve in ideal circumstances. Adding more capacity is buying another switch. Depending on the existing density and RF noise of the area, you might not be able to add much more density even with adding more APs.

I think its more that we're seeing wireless get somewhat competitive with its wired counterparts in the home, not necessarily that its surpassing it. Its still not as reliable as wired. Unless you live in a anechoic chamber you're going to get dropped frames from time to time, requiring retransmits and increasing your jitter. If you're experiencing that on your wired networking, you either messed up your cable runs or you need to step outside of your microwave oven.

That said, 10GbE+ outside of the datacenter has been a long time coming. Its there, but its not very widespread. Most devices tend to use a good bit of power and are rather expensive. On top of that, unless you're doing something datacenter-like (using a SAN or building HPC cluster) you usually don't experience much of a difference. In the few instances where you might want more throughput, you can often set up your devices in a LAGG to combine multiple gigabit ports to increase aggregate throughput.
dunno about LI5 but wikipedia's summary:

5 * 60k = 300k minutes (or 200+ days), so it would take you the better half of a year to listen to every single idea.

Typically these things are sold up the management chain which can exercise discretion on which ideas are good and which are not. In this case the Janitor had nothing to lose by going directly to the CEO since I doubt his manager had much clout to sell this up the chain
If it becomes widespread; freedom of speech is irrelevent because the executive power bows down to populism.

I agree with words being able to elicit strong emotional response in people, but I disagree that this should serve as a basis for legislation. I do not think it is a strong enough basis to risk affecting the spread of ideas and discourse.
The hundreds of videos of the said dogs attacking people, the detailed news reports and expert interviews are not a source to back an argument?
The case revolves around the question of whether XRP is a security or not. The SEC has given the definitive guidance on the topic, which is based on the Howey case:

> The U.S. Supreme Court's Howey case and subsequent case law have found that an "investment contract" exists when there is the investment of money in a common enterprise with a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the efforts of others.[5] The so-called "Howey test" applies to any contract, scheme, or transaction, regardless of whether it has any of the characteristics of typical securities.[6] The focus of the Howey analysis is not only on the form and terms of the instrument itself (in this case, the digital asset) but also on the circumstances surrounding the digital asset and the manner in which it is offered, sold, or resold (which includes secondary market sales). Therefore, issuers and other persons and entities engaged in the marketing, offer, sale, resale, or distribution of any digital asset will need to analyze the relevant transactions to determine if the federal securities laws apply.

Ripple (as distinct from the XRP token it created), currently holds a large block of uncirculated XRP created at the beginning of the network. This network does away with mining in favor of the Ripple Protocol Consensus Algorithm:

https://ripple.com/files/ripple_consensus_whitepaper.pdf

This protocol foregoes mining in favor of a system without proof-of-work. The tradeoff (or feature, depending on how you look at it) was that the distribution mechanism would involve Ripple itself giving away and selling XRP. This gave Ripple complete control of the money stock at the network's inception.

This is very different from how Bitcoin currency distribution works.
Why TV People Speak in Front of Bookshelves
What bugged me was the complete lack of depth, one of the most interesting (and pertinent) topics surrounding the use of these devices are the legal implications.

There is no state that allows you to bug someone else's conversation. Intentionally causing a surveillance device to be installed in someone's home (which he clearly did) without their consent must present some legal issues?

Likewise, individuals are in some cases liable for the results traps they set. For example, the countdown (on the latest video) is troubling because it's reasonable to expect people to panic, and act erratically in response. What happens if they seriously injure themselves trying to escape the imagined bomb?

Someone else doing something illegal (stealing your "trap" package) doesn't protect you from prosecution or lawsuits.

Anyway, it would hear about the discussion with they had with lawyers before they did this. There's very little depth in many of the more recent videos. They're merely entertainment, not educational/engineering videos.
The background information is interesting, but the lack of any base rates and the use of apples-to-oranges comparisons makes the author’s argument seem like one made in bad faith. The author omits that 20% of shelter dogs are still euthanized each year, instead using the overall population as the denominator. And the 5,700 dogs being purchased in auction by rescue groups over ten years is pretty insignificant considering that 1.6 million dogs are adopted each year (and the author even highlights the possibility that the dogs may in fact be abused but sees this as hypocrisy on the part of the rescues). The rest is anecdotes about puppy mills. What would have been convincing is an actual example of demand not being met by the supply provided by pounds, or even better, statistics on a possible shift in demographics from mixed breeds to pure breeds in pounds.

Also describing strays as living successfully on their own is absurd. Sure some haven’t starved to death or been crippled by random acts of violence by humans. Any one of them would still prefer a home where their physical and emotional needs are met.

It always baffles me that high-end webcams also usually come with bad microphones built-in. If you're dropping $200+ on a fancy high-end webcam for either streaming or high-quality video calls, you're probably also going to be dropping $60+ on a decent stand-alone microphone.
> It's also unclear to me what the distinction is between this part of the criteria and the RYF certification.

Ya, you are confused.

The PureOS endorsement is about a distro you can download and put on a computer (the distro doesn't include a bios or related firmware).

RYF is about all the software that comes on a computer/device, and the website you use to buy it, it's much more expansive.

So, Purism's computers are not RYF certified, but they come with a distro that is fully free (the disto does not include some nonfree firmware that comes on Purism's computers).

I'm not sure it is. It's a completely novel state of affairs that companies expect to have perpetual ownership and absolute control/monopoly over what they've created. It's completely unjustified outside of "well, we have the money to make it so" and the public domain is dead solely because of efforts of companies like Disney.
