We can't really talk about what multiplication "is" or "isn't" independently of context. It's an operation on two objects and the context its used in is necessary for defining the operation.

Though it can be helpful to think of multiplication as scaling or rotation in certain contexts, or as repeated addition in others, none of those are a universal truth.

To say it's not related to addition at all is also too broad to be true. They're related in many useful ways that other commenters have pointed out, in addition to the obvious way that in some situations you can define one in terms of the other. Even at the cutting edge, our inability to prove the Goldbach Conjecture might have something to do with not fully understanding the deepest relationships between the operations.

> You don't want to give banking license to a convicted felon.

Why not? "Convicted felon" encompasses a lot. Being convicted of felony drug possession when you were 19, for example, has very little to do with one's ability or trustworthiness to run a bank.

Sure, maybe we don't give banking licenses to people who have committed financial crimes (though a lot of corrupt investment bank executives seem to have no problem doing business), but that's not the same thing.

This idea that committing a crime should lock people out of many life activities is one of the things that leads them to committing more crimes. The punishment was a fine or jail time; let's stop punishing people for the rest of their lives.
> Why not pay an accountant?

Complexity covers corruption.

Why not just pay the nice mafia boss the protection money, and stop complaining?

First and foremost, it's a matter of principle. It's just not right to have the tax code written in the way it is written. It is written by special interests. If we all just said "complexity is no problem, we'll all just pay a small fee to accountants", not only will that "small fee" keep going up, but it will get more complex, and special interests will be better served to the detriment of everyone else.

Pragmatically I do hire a CPA, and in general like paying for the high level strategic advice. But the tax compliance services should be unnecessary. My tax returns should be a single text document that I can keep in git and copy/paste/update each year.

The difference seems that this threat model requires an active attack on the proxy to de-anonymize search queries/users.

With a normal proxy, a passive attack on the proxy is enough (since it will have both the request IP and search term in memory together at some point).

Whether this is indeed a meaningfully different threat model for most users is an interesting question.

They're also possibly playing the safe game and just chasing ideas that they know will get them grants rather than having the true freedom to experiment.

"Success" for bitcoin would be reaching a stable state. It would act as if people just discovered gold and said, "Oooh, shiny. Please sell me some." Eventually all of those people have spent as much as they want to spend on shiny, and it reaches a rough equilibrium.

The more people buy into bitcoin, the more people say "Yeah, I guess it's not going away, I should get some too." Eventually that'll max out, and the price will be "the total number of dollars they're willing to spend" divided by "the total number of bitcoins in the universe". I have no idea what figure is, but it could easily be ten times the current price.

Conceivably it could crash when people realize that it has stopped appreciating, but that doesn't happen to gold. Lots of people believe that gold is "real money", for no reason whatsoever except that other people believe it, too.

And then it'll continue to trade slowly, like gold (i.e. not fast, like currency). And that's it.

Yep, third-party cookies must be very inefficient by now, as well as the js GA script that enables tracking. This is probably the first two things ad-blockers block.

Of course they move away from this, the must have brainstormed and tested new ways for years. OTOH, it is stunning that we’ve invented tech that is stable even when an ad-blocker interferes with the webpage, cookies, js, requests, etc. Try that with binaries!

As someone who cut meat out of her diet, I can attest to that.

On days when we have time to cook, we make good, healthy meals. However, unhealthy alternatives are always present and very tempting.

The curfew has been hard for me and I have resumed my bad habits. I ate plant-based burgers, non-dairy ice cream, cookies and cakes almost every day. Most fast-food restaurants near me will ship from apps and offer meat-free alternatives for the same price.

Plant-based food is not necessarily healthier. It is simply meat-free.
Not an argument per-se, but there were cases where I had to manually build raw query parameter-values when using the `IN(v1, v2, v3)` operation. Many libraries still do not support passing in a list parameter as of 2021, even newer ones. For example, the Rust MySQL library.

I felt much safer doing that knowing the parameters I'm concatenating are integers.

Lawsuits over patents are a good one, and Intuit as around 1600 patents.

> There have been Tesla driving around the polar circle for 10 years now. EV are very popular in Norway.

EV’s have zero car tax and zero VAT on Norway. That makes them cheaper than equivalent gas cars

> Yes, and consumers so far have universally rejected PHEV unless massively insentivised to do so.

Same with EV’s as shown above. They’re only massively popular if the price is right. It all comes down to it.

In Finland PHEV sales are now higher than diesel sales iirc, which used to be super popular here. Due to how car tax works on models like Volvo the PHEV variant is cheaper than the gas variant, hence people select them. We don’t have no VAT like Norway has so BEV’s are still very expensive here.

Personally I do like emissions based taxation a lot. No need to complain about people not buying them as they will buy if the price is correct vs alternatives.

As a sidenote Toyota has announced an EV. Sure it’s bit after others but not by that much.

Also they’re increasing the amount of PHEV’s. As they already have a good hybrid tech one just needs to slap a bigger battery and it’s done. And as batteries weigh a lot the weight of PHEV with it’s ICE and whatnot is around the same as BEV. See Rav4 PHEV as a good example.

> Having tor-like anonymity without needing to use a special browser and slow network is definitely an advantage

This is potentially huge. Maybe for a resource-light webpage (in terms of content downloaded by the user) the overhead of a Tor onion architecture is negligible and combined with being able to use your regular old browser with no special configuration, that could mean just having specialized onion architectures for certain websites could make privacy a lot easier to realize for the end user.

The barriers of slow load times for every webpage and the need for end user configuration are pretty big barriers.

Visual Studio 2019 version 16.9 Release Notes
I've been using TurboTax desktop version (the Premium edition) for 10+ years and never ran into any issues (and I have relatively complex income situation) except for one bug they have always had about incorrectly summing up the mortgage loan amounts of the same loan that you refinance or transfer in the same year (so it ends up looking as if you had 2 loans that year and consequently can miss out on large deductions). But this is relatively easy to observe and workaround. Compared to spending weeks doing my own taxes (I did them for 3 years) it's a total bliss.

I feel that a lot of people complaining about TurboTax upselling or anything like that are attempting to use the online version. I am very much opposed to giving some online site all my tax information so I will always keep using the desktop version for as long as I can. It includes 5 free federal e-filins and have to pay extra (about $30) for state filing (but can always just print out the filled forms and mail them in if you don't want to). And when I did the taxes on my own I had to print and mail them anyways.
OmniSci can run on any Nvidia GPU with sufficient RAM (we'd generally recommend >= 8GB), including a 3080. (I have two 3090s myself!) It also can run purely (and performantly) on CPU, and with the Intel's help we're further optimizing our capabilities on X86. Note however that currently you can't use our rendering engine without a GPU, however there is some initial support to run on CPU and render on an Nvidia GPU if you're interested, and soon enough we hope to support AMD and Intel integrated/discrete GPUs for rendering as well.

I'm well aware of the various search flags. I can also think of at least 10 domains I'd like to permanently obviate from every search. Adding flags for all of these every time is unwieldy. I have toyed with browser extensions to achieve this, but I quickly learned that using many of these flags will compromise search results. A good solution will require a search engine that anticipates this use case.

Git going missing is likely to do with macOS updates. Since Apple moved to sealed system partition and "non-diff" os updates, each OS update comes as a unified whole package (often sized in the multiple gigs of data)

This wipes out the xcode-select installed git (because instead of "patching" the existing system, it just replaces the whole lot of it with whatever is in the archive). It leaves xcode alone (since that's in the Application folder), but any additional xcode command line tools gets wiped out by the OS update, and the system needs that reinstalled.

I ran into this with Intel based Macs running the beta 11.3 as well, so it's not necessarily an M1 issue.

A corollary to this is that the neediest and most unpleasant clients tend to be the least lucrative. It's an open secret that raising prices can get you better business in various professions, from escorting to tailors to art commissions. Wealthier people are not only attracted to exclusivity but also prefer to dump money to save time and hassle.

With video games, raising prices directly will not work well at all. Instead it is the indirect realization that trying to attract pirates is not a good way to spend time since you won't get a lot of money out of those people even in ideal conditions. They are also the type of person more likely to complain about minute details in games.

With micro-transactions, the case gets muddled further. It becomes rational to spend most of your time catering to whales. In fact, I suspect most features of games using that methodology only exist to attract a large enough audience of normal customers that whales can then prey upon with pay to win additions, while they are themselves preyed upon by the devs.
And the state efile (but since there's the "free" alternative to print out forms and mail in that's not a big deal, and it's relatively cheap anyway). I've also always used the desktop/standalone version, great time saving compared to doing it on my own.
I think there's a lot of confusion over this topic because the general explanation is confusing. "XXX is encrypted in the browser" implies that XXX is encrypted because of TLS.

Perhaps start with a statement like: "Private.sh sends all of your searches to a 3rd party search engine. These searches are private because we prevent the 3rd party search engine from knowing your IP or fingerprinting your browser. Private.sh can't see your searches because they are encrypted in your browser and can only be decrypted at the 3rd party search engine."

"Thus, the 3rd party search engine only sees your search, not your IP or browser finger print."
