I am aware that they are two separate thoughts but they don't, to me, conflict with each other. The main theme of both of them was to not worry about what others get from their parents.

The first was recognizing that that inheritance mostly came from the labors of someone and they have a right to do with their money as they see fit. The second is acknowledging that the person who didn't work for their wealth usually squanders it so don't waste time being jealous of them.

So focus on being the person who creates wealth for themselves and try to educate your children so they will have good money habits later on in life and will squander less of what you leave them.
We may have been at the same one. Yep they were awesome.
Digital artwork always reduces to an integer, what's the point of buying a number? If you want to give money to the creator, just give money to the creator. Not sure I understand the value of adding a rube goldberg machine to the mix.
Oh, come on. In response to me saying not to focus on race, you said "Saying it would be racist to address race-specific factors is tacitly implying that the current status quo is either equal or acceptable." That's implying I find racial inequities acceptable. It's implying I'm racist.

If you're going to try to imply something, at least own up when you get called out for it.

"what separates claims that the farm bill is bad from blatant fear-mongering"

My personal thought is lack of education, lack of raising awareness.

Farming and selling produce directly at a physical market is straight forward.

Commodity trading, futures, buyer-seller agents are all complex for poor subsistence farmers with a few acres of land each.

subsidized green energy. If those sources are truly economically efficient, we should remove the subsidies.
I had a variation of the mask dream. Note that I live in Manhattan:

1. I forget to take my mask when I leave my apartment. Apparently the door man doesn't notice.

2. When I try to go back to my apartment to retrieve my mask, the door man doesn't let me in, because you need a mask to enter.

3. I'm not allowed to enter any stores to buy a mask, because you need a mask to enter.

So I'm trapped outside in this catch-22.
Mindful Product Principles from Allen Zhang, Father of WeChat
I recently dissected the product philosophies of Allen Zhang, the founder of WeChat - the largest consumer product in the world.
What I uncovered was not so much a cunning businessman, but a deeply philosophical digital anthropologist and empathetic first-principles thinker. The kind of product thinker that is a rarity in today’s attention and commerce driven tech ecosystem.

I'm curious what people think of whether founders tend to be rebel misfits, neuro-"atypical," differently-motivated, and/or hyperfocused on things few others delve into, and as such, either aren't content with a career or dead-end job, or simply can't hold a conventional job.

U8 was pretty great too, but somehow not the same as U7; what was gained in graphics quality was lost in sheer scope and detail.
Build and learn at the same time. If the building part is pushed out to after all the learning, you run the real risk of losing interest when all you're doing is learning / studying.

Whatever it is you want to build, break it down into very small initial components that don't involve learning ALL the math stuff, just some of it. Then build and learn together.

But breaking down your idea or project like this isn't easy. It's a skill all of its own.
I don't understand how protests had any effect on asthma outcomes among POC.

Are you saying that they calculated

deaths caused by covid protests < deaths prevented from potests effecting health outcomes of POC.

Hence Protests OK.

deaths from depression caused from isolation < deaths from covid

Isolation OK.

If so, can you show me how they calculated,

'deaths prevented from potests effecting health outcomes of POC'

> > I think the data (gathered by medical researchers and social scientists) back them up.

what data is this ? There is no way they gathered any data within 1 week of when the protests started. Thats just too crazy of a timeline. If they are saying that collected some secret data to prove that protests will save more lives than lockdowns in less than week, then that proves how brazen they are in in their lying.

Funny, there is a state in Europe which had exactly the same position: We are all individual states, we fight with each other, we are weak, we should be together under strong nationalism, so we aren't victims of others anymore and so on. That country was Germany, which unified in 1871. Two world wars later and we've decided that maybe Nationalism isn't such a great thing. But you do you. Have fun.
i've lived in Texas for 33 of my 45 years and don't recall anything like this. I could be wrong though because this is just my memory talking. I do remember in 2011, 14" of snow and power being out for about three days for me in Oak Cliff ( just SW of downtown Dallas). I loaded my wife and infant in the car and drove to Plano ( about 45min North of Dallas ) and stayed at my inlaws who had power. I don't recall the power outages being anywhere near as widespread as this event. ..certainly not down South near Austin. I also don't recall water service being an issue at all.

Great to see this project write-up, especially the level of detail about the implementation. The team at Altinity collaborated with Chao and his colleagues early on to investigate options for schema definition and query scaling, as these topics are of general interest to the ClickHouse community. I really appreciate the generosity of the Uber team in sharing the work publicly.

It would be really cool to see this work evolve into one or more open source projects for service log management.
> But, “And those rocks contain 100 trillion tons of uranium.” gives you 2,500 years which is not bad, but that’s not going to be replaced.

How did you arrive at these figures? I think you missed a conversion from pounds to tons.

Current global uranium consumption is in the hundreds of millions of pounds annually - hundreds of thousands of tons. And this is without reprocessing. Nuclear power already generates 10% electricity globally. Even if we assume a 200x increase in consumption from 200 million pounds to 20 billion pounds that still only 10 million tons of consumption annual. 100 trillion divided by 10 million is a lot more than 2,500.
Different kinds of distributed systems have wildly different complexity in possible fun that the distributed nature can cause. If you have a replicated set of monoliths, you typically have fewer exciting modes of behaviour and failures.

Consider how many unique communciation graph edges and multi hop causal chains of effects you have you have in a typical microservice system vs having replicated copies of the monolith running, not to mention the several reimplementations or slightly varying versions and behaviours of same.
I played UO on an unofficial RPG shard for about one year. The server was was only up only a few hours during the evening (and would often crash), most of the mechanics weren't implemented, and those that were were often buggy. It still was one of the best (if not the best) gaming experience I ever had as well.
My understanding was based on articles like https://workdayminnesota.org/court-slams-walmarts-use-of-dea.... Where Walmart was being sued specifically because there were perverse incentives and what they did was against various state laws.

As to your case, Walmart thought that it could deduct the premiums. It turns out that it could not. Walmart also thought that it could create and collect them under Georgia law. It turns out that it could not. Walmart also has been forced to pay families of workers some of the payouts. None of which it expected.

All of these things affect how profitable the policy is for Walmart. But they don't change the fact that once the policies are taken out, Walmart has a financial incentive to treat workers poorly. Which is why many states had banned the practice. And is why federal law currently only allows companies to take out life insurance on approximately their most highly paid third of employees. (Who also have to consent to it.)

Back to the suit. Walmart sued its insurers in 2002 for fraud for failing to explain these risks. The brief quoted in Snopes is as filed by the insurers in 2005. They lost that judgement, but the case continued on. As of 2009, per http://www.contingentfeeblog.com/2009/05/articles/corporate-..., the Delaware Supreme Court ruled for Walmart a 3rd time. I don't know the final outcome of the case. But it certainly wasn't as open and shut as the insurer's brief made it sound.
It does certainly amplify the power of "user engagement optimization".

Coke doesn't advertise to get you to buy the product. In many situations you don't actually have a choice (restaurant, theatre, etc). They advertise to make you feel a certain way about the brand. Car companies do something similar. They aren't advertising to get you to buy the car but associate a certain prestige with the vehicle which in turn makes their actual target buy their car. I'm not sure why everyone thinks ads are strictly about buying things. There's political ads, religious ads, pubic service announcements, etc. Ads are versatile.

It's a timeless, perhaps even instinctive, rhetorical formula.

If you want to advocate some policy or cause you first establish your independence to imply non-biased consideration.

If you want to criticize some policy or group you first establish that you were previously an advocate of that policy or group, or currently still are part of that group, implying that the criticism is so undeniable that even someone predisposed to bias and self-interest can't reject it.

We all do this. For example, "I actually like Rust and use it daily, BUT...."

>The copy_file_range() system call looks like a relatively straightforward feature; it allows user space to ask the kernel to copy a range of data from one file to another, hopefully applying some optimizations along the way.
Yes I would. There are a lot of people on my friends list (ie those I went to school with years ago) who I wouldn't get any notice they are dead without facebook telling me. I think of one person who died in a motercycle accident, if it wasn't for facebook I wouldn't know the difference between dead and just quit showing up in my feed. It doesn't matter in the long run as we never were more than classmates, but I'm still glad I know.

The knowledge that someone is dead isn't very sensitive. I still control how much facebook knows about me, but some information is worth giving facebook because they will let my friends know.
Its not that complicated it just leaves you on your own to find what you need. The documentation is diabolically awful the moment you step beyond blueprints
For the same reason that people don't just leave all their money tied up in ETFs or indexed mutual funds. If you really want or really need something, then you are willing to give up on the opportunity cost of your asset appreciating.

In a pure BTC environment, the borrower is employed and being paid a salary in BTC. Loans would work just like in an inflationary environment, except now the overall deflation rate of BTC would be taken into account during loan origination.

Bitcoin is not a good asset to do loans in right now as it has high volatility, but as ownership of Bitcoin becomes more and more dispersed, then the volatility will reduce. Once the volatility of the asset is stabilized, then the depreciation rate could be factored into loans.

This is amusing, and has a whiff of grift but if you are familiar with the real estate title business you'll see that NFT's would be a vastly superior and more transparent solution than what happens today. Title insurance is also a needless racket given NFT's.

Once the real-estate title business adopted NFT's DeFi mortgages would become obvious.

Today if you restructure your mortgage you actually have to file paperwork with the county clerk. County courthouses are the gatekeeper to residential liens. The County/District clerk could use a key to sign liens, etc...
GameStop stock has a larger underlying value than USD or BTC, believe it or not!
~2.3% of addresses own ~95% of all bitcoins. [1]

How is a cryptocurrency with this type of wealth inequality supposed to help the common person?

It's already centralized, thus easy to manipulate. Bitcoin is reproducing the same type of wealth distribution we see in real life. What exactly does btc offer?

I don't understand how one can look at this distribution of bitcoins, where essentially the 1% owns most of it and people conclude that somehow this is different? That this in your favor as a newcomer? To me this looks like if you buy in now, you're going to become a bagholder for the 1%.

Texas relies on wind production to a much greater extent than the Netherlands.

"Wind power has been the fastest-growing source of energy in Texas' power grid. In 2015, wind power generation supplied 11% of Texas' energy grid. Last year it supplied 23% of the system's power, surpassing coal as the second-largest source of energy. ... An ERCOT report on generating capacity listed the top sources of power in the state:"

Natural gas (51%)
Wind (24.8%)
Coal (13.4%)
Nuclear (4.9%)
Solar (3.8%)
Hydro, biomass-fired units (1.9%)

(https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2021/02/17/texas-energy...)

"Energy from renewable sources accounted for only 7.4% of total final energy consumption (TFEC) in 2018, the third-lowest share among IEA member countries and well below the IEA median of 12.1%. ...

I read the article, and it's a little concerning that a social media platform founder is getting upset by questions about platform speech regulation, which is a pretty basic product concern. I like the idea of a Twitter-like platform that caters better to Indian regional languages, but the problem with the founder saying "I'm not political so the platform is not political" is that his users are most definitely political and it won't remain "free for all" if the most vulnerable users are harassed off of it.

Also genuinely confused about the answer to the last question: "So there will be government-regulated laws that would govern the speech on Koo?" "No, you’re randomly putting words in my mouth. I’m not enjoying this conversation. I’m an independent person; I’m apolitical..."
Based on everything he said before, it sounds like the answer should have been a resounding Yes? He wants to offload the speech governing to laws?

With NFT's because the provenance and price history is so easily visible, platforms allow the NFT owner to borrow against them instantly so people can use NFT art and property as a store of value much easier than fine art collectors or other property holders can.

This alters a lot of assumptions and behavior about the market. Efficient up to the second price history of one NFT and a basket of other NFTs is always available. Removes the need for appraisals and the discretion of lenders. Liquidity pools and dynamic rates are just available.

Obvious rebuttal: "But what if the market dries up and everyone is overlevered and lenders can't liquidate the NFTs"

Okay. No different than any other art and property market. For anyone passing by, don't create a fictional higher standard just because you don't want to respect the existence of this market.
