I am not sure that is a correct definition of incest, as it more commonly refer to breeding between family members or close relatives, with the definition of close being up to the legal system in place. Just two people with a common ancestry would be a too board definition to be useful.

But it is correct that 1 / 70,000,000,000 is the wrong numbers of the genetic contribution. In order to find the correct number one would have to determine the coefficient of relationship of the average couple. It is going to a much smaller number, but at the same time far from actually incest.

That said, incest law in Italy is a bit weird. It is legal, except if it causes a scandal.

I've worked with companies where we have pre-sold products (before they fully exist). By producing prototypes to get initial buy-in and then running pilots (trials) to get them to put money down.

These were potential solutions to problems that they don't have the budget or time to solve themselves
I really like the system and it seems there's also a temporal order to the learning path:

1) Tutorials <- starting point
2) How To <- intermediate
3) Reference <- comes back to it regularly
4) Discussion <- final step to understanding

However as the video mentions, it's all connected in a circle, as perhaps having some discussion up-front(why, context, alternatives) is useful for newcomers to evaluate whether this project is worth diving into.

Curious as to whether the author(and everyone) thinks on how much "discussion" should be put into the "Getting Started" page.
It’s a bit off-topic, but as a native speaker of Polish I really like the name of the product, “zaraz” === “soon” in PL.

Now, as someone who worked in ad tech and spent countless hours trying to convince my colleagues to exercise empathy before dumping even more crap on publisher’s sites, I mildly regret that I didn’t come up with this idea myself. Good luck!
Perhaps.

Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others. I'm a firm believer in continuing to innovate and improve governance. I don't think it's just an abstract philosophical argument. These things can be modeled with game theory (cite: The Dictator's Handbook).

There are opinions and philosophies about evolution, vaccines, and lots of other things, but at the end of the day, those can be resolved through rational discourse.

I'd like my government to look out for my interests. I'd like it to be competent and not corrupt. There are lots of ideas for how to get there, and I'm really not comfortable with the imperialism of democracy.

China had good ideas with civil service exams, which select for competence. Aristotle and Confucius had good ideas around moral philosophy of rulers. Marx had some nice ideas too. They didn't play out as well in practice as capitalist democracy, but that doesn't mean we should toss up our hands, give up, and quit trying. Especially now that we have tools for corrupting democracy like never before, and conversely, ways to model governance like never before.
why do you need AI to do that though?
yes, but the curve is actual numbers, while I haven't seen an effective (or standardized) objective measure of soundstage or detail. Even though the frequency response curve isn't _everything_ that matters, because it's both relevant to the sound, and can be measured fairly objectively, I think it's an important detail in a headphone review. While subjective impressions could say that "bass is anemic" or "no mids", I may not know (or disagree with) what they consider "normal". A measured response curve, combined with subjective impressions, can demonstrate the reviewer's preferences within a better context. Reviewers who don't show a response curve could instead communicate their impressions of other popular headphones, but market fragmentation (and the cost of nice headphones) makes this less useful imo.

Largely, I agree with your sentiment, in that reviews of headphones/audio are less useful than reviews of other products. In the absence of objective measurements of every important variable, I find myself resorting to buying brands I've had good experiences with, rather than spec chasing. I wish I had more numbers to use, but in the meantime, I try to buy headphones less frequently.
- Init system responsible for way, way, way more than init, gradually taking over everything to such a degree that distros are forced to abandon Upstart, SysVinit, whatever Gentoo used back in the day, etc.

- Audio system that ignores all the foundations of ALSA and builds Yet Another Layer instead of improving ALSA.

- Display system that leaves way too much as an "exercise for the reader".

- 10+-year-long transition periods on the above, during which nobody's use cases work well.

- Decisions made by fiat rather than by consensus.
It definitely could be made more discoverable, maybe with a bigger "handle" around it to show draggability. But I really love the idea of a combined educational tool and spam deterrent.

It's nothing special really - we run Lighthouse twice (as a GCP Function) on the URL, and using Puppeteer we simply block third-party scripts from loading on one of the runs. Then we compare the results. While this isn't technically the same as running Zaraz on the page, we consider this to be a fairly accurate estimation of the website would work with Zaraz, because on the majority of cases we manage to load tens of tools with literally no performance impact.

To reinforce this, one of the statistics that the beeb have wheeled out is that in the most vulnerable group being vaccinated (in the UK), aged 80+, one in ten of them will die regardless of covid in the next year. Quoted from "How to vaccinate the world -- Vaccine Hesitancy" [0] from 12 minutes in to 15 minutes. (And because it's BBC sounds, for some reason it randomly skips episodes when I load the page).

The entire series is well worth a listen, data driven and statistics heavy.

If the US hadn't dropped the ball on enforcing existing antitrust laws in the 80s and 90s, we wouldn't have to ask. Perhaps many more regular people would own productive enterprises, and wouldn't be looking to government to address inequality.

Now that both corporations and government are so big and intrusive that they're somewhere between a nuisance and prohibitive toward small-scale enterprise, we should at least think about ways to sic them on each other.
> I do not believe that in the four administrations which have taken place, there has been a single instance of departure from good faith towards other nations. we may sometimes have mistaken our rights, or made an erroneous estimate of the actions of others, but no voluntary wrong can be imputed to us. in this respect England exhibits the most remarkable phaenomenon in the universe in the contrast between the profligacy of it’s government and the probity of it’s citizens. and accordingly it is now exhibiting an example of the truth of the maxim that virtue & interest are inseparable. it ends, as might have been expected, in the ruin of it’s people. but this ruin will fall heaviest, as it ought to fall, on that hereditary aristocracy which has for generations been preparing the catastrophe. I hope we shall take warning from the example and crush in it’s birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength, and to bid defiance to the laws of their country.

--Thomas Jefferson, 1812 [1]

When private power eclipses democratic power, you cease to have a democracy. You have a dominant aristocracy/oligopoly, which is not functionally different for 99% of the populace than a monarchy. Extremely large corporations are filled to the brim with powerful but incompetent people who got there through connections and political warfare instead of merit.

A corporation should be allowed to grow until the point where they own enough of the government to make their own rules and avoid paying taxes like the rest of us. As soon as they do that, they should be split across state lines so there is more democratic control over their behavior, and they are small enough to audit and tax accordingly.

At lot has changed in 30 years. Not only are you about two generations removed from the current zeitgeist on college campuses, intersectionality means politics is now appropriate in fields that used to be apolitical.

Edit: Adding on to the generational change asepect, the Millenials and Gen Z people I know are much more sensitive to the idea of offending someone. And to be honest... are much more likely themselves to be offended. My alma mater now has an offical BERT - Bias Education Response Team. As a student you can file a complaint with the BERT against the offending person(s). When I went to college the expectation was that your worldview would get challenged and that was a good thing. But now it looks like you can get in some serious trouble for doing so.

> who took the view that all short positions were ursary

It's more than usury. There is usury involved because "lending" the stock is done with interest. However, the problems don't stop there.

Stock shorters, as you point out, actively bet against a company or industry or economic structure in general, it's their benefit to see a company collapse or not do well. This isn't how a stable society should be set up.

Furthermore, stock shorting exposes three parties to risk: the original owner, the shorter, and the new owner. There is risk being created in the market that does not justify the value that comes out of it. Let alone the fact that it's possible to short more than 100% of the total stocks, on what planet is this even acceptable? In a normal stock trade, risk is transferred from one party to another equally.

The conclusion is that shorting is a heavily immoral, predatory, and dangerous practice. It's quite ironic that when ** hits the fan, the government has to step in to limit certain trades or practices that we've known all along to be dangerous (e.g. they lower interest or ban shorting).

I'm going to simplify a bit, but there is a big difference in clearing crypto vs cash.

Clearing crypto doesn't require debt because your broker directly sends the TX on chain.

Doing the same with cash would require sending trucks of cash to their various clients banks throughout the day and would be prohibitely expensive.

That's why clearing was invented. I.e. having the bigger banks lending to the smaller and allowing to delay the actual exchange. (And hopefully never having to actually move cash since balance fluctuations between banks tends to be cyclical)
Reporting from Australia I think the general feeling here about the AZ vaccine is positive, as we feel fortunate to have access to a vaccine that is robust (doesn't require an extreme cold chain) and, most importantly, that we can manufacture ourselves. Not just for Australia but also for the Pacific nations in our area (e.g. Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Tahiti, etc).

I can't speak for India but I imagine that they are happy to have access to this vaccine as well, as they are similarly going to manufacture it, and to a scale that will dwarf everyone else. And it not needing a special cold chain is even more of a plus in India of course.
As others mentioned, space in rocket build area looks like it's to a point where any delay in getting completed test articles to test stands, means delaying construction. I suspect they weren't completely confident when they'd get FAA approval after getting into a full launch cycle and being pretty clearly rebuked (pulling of the TFR and announcement of the scrub by the FAA). So better to get it to the stands so they could move on the fronts they could... but also to be understood...

There's probably a cost/benefit calculation here, too: SN15 has been said to be bringing significant design improvements over the current design they're flying, and SN10 is of the older design. SN11 is probably ready or very close to ready for "high-bay" stacking... SN10 was waiting in the high-bay along with the first booster (BN1)leaving really no room for anything else to go in there. SN12, also of the same older design is being pro-actively scrapped right now and SN13, SN14 are also not going to happen so they get to SN15 faster. They have a test article at the launch site (SN7.2) to test a different construction material (3mm think stainless steel vs. the current 4mm). All that said and done... I'm sure they want to get SN10 in the air and would be disappointed by losing it... but they already have their sights fixed on the future it doesn't completely represent.
I saw photos a few days ago that the base piece of the BN1, which will need to hold the weight of the entire thing and thrust mounts for the engines has been spotted at boca chica.
You can make a lot of money proving that.

Nanex made a bit of a cottage industry whistleblowing on that sort complaint.
maybe a bit of an exaggeration, but it rings (mostly) true to me. my dad has a pair of grado rs-1's he's been using for as long as I can remember. he also has a very nice pair of b&o speakers that I'm pretty sure predate my existence altogether. only reason they haven't been handed down is because my dad is still alive and enjoying them. I'm sitting here wearing a pair of sennheiser hd-555's that I bought in 2008. they're plugged into a DAC I bought in 2010.

I don't know that there's some grand tradition of handing down audio gear over generations, but the point is good audio equipment lasts a long time if the properly cared for. if it sounded good new, it probably sounds good years later too (except tubes, these are consumables). there's no reason why headphones should follow the obsolescence cycle of computers.
The FAA seems to be concerned with exploded bits falling on innocent people. You are welcome to blow up your rockets all day long if you aren't putting other people at risk.
Then why are they in this business if they don’t have the collateral? If I have the money in my RH account to buy the stock, why can’t I buy it? I understand restricting buying on margin because obviously that’s affected by volatility, but if I am bringing cash to a transaction, why is it suddenly restricted?

I don’t really have a horse in this race, I am just trying to understand how it’s ok for them to put their thumb on the scale in this way and then say that they didn’t have enough collateral and someone that is retail investors’ problem.
That's a really sad, but accurate assessment of that situation.
I fully believe my decisions and actions are largely determined long before I am fully aware of what is taking place.

This doesn't make me despair or not care to do anything, but makes me extremely resilient and adaptable to changing situations. I can acknowledge that no matter what I want to do, I cannot stop my leg from twitching when someone hits the nerve underneath my kneecap.

I also accept that if I make bad decisions because of an addiction or deficient reasoning process, I willingly would accept a mechanism to correct said process or improve my deficiency.
