> Microelectronics power all AI, and the United States no longer manufactures the world’s most sophisticated chips. We do not want to overstate the precariousness of our position, but given that the vast majority of cutting-edge chips are produced at a single plant separated by just 110 miles of water from our principal strategic competitor, we must reevaluate the meaning of supply chain resilience and security.

Can you negotiate 5%+ more salary if you know what you're doing? Yes. Yes you can. That's easy.

Half goes to buy side though normally. Although some firms try to "double pop" it and represent both sides. That should definitely be illegal everywhere.

There are a lot of terrible agents though that aren't worth it. It's a low barrier to entry with a very high upside. Not many career opportunities like it.

Buy side can be a ton of work though for the same payday as sell side. Agents and owners offer commission to the agents to make it worth their while.

If there weren't any buy side commissions, you'd get less interest, because no buyers agent would ever refer you to a house they can't make money on. Unless they had a conscious AND they hadn't already spent a bunch of time on you.

But at some point if you want a house that had no buy side commission and you locate it (Zillow or a sold by owner site), you're going to buy it without your buyer's agent.

So it could easily head the way of the hotel industry where the buy side is virtually non-existent.
I recently stumbled over a project which tries to do such an approach for graphs in scientific papers, to avoid people manually editing them and them getting disconnected from data sources. They do it by offering export of modified code generating the tweaked variant: https://pylustrator.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

I think he posted a reasonable and thoughtful response - in it however be pretty much admits he could’ve said some very disparaging things.

> I told him what I’d actually said in Peru. He said, “Donald, you sound exactly like my father. He would also say ‘You can’t dress like a thug to a job interview and expect to get the job.’ But from you, it sounds racist.” I said “How is ‘thug’ racist? What about Thug Life Records?” He said “It’s almost the equivalent of the n-word. Don’t you know about Marshawn Lynch?’’ I said: “He plays for Seattle?” I could hear him sigh. “No, Donald, let me explain…”

So it seems like he by his own admission probably said some stuff that was frankly out of bounds. But doesn’t necessarily mean he deserves to be fired.

Being blind to how one speaks and how it affects others however, is not a trait that I’d imagine most newsrooms are looking for, at all. His finally thought:

> One last thought: what’s happened to me has been called a “witch hunt.” It isn’t. It’s a series of misunderstandings and blunders.

I mean, I feel like that says it all? A victim of a changing culture? Probably. But sound judgement in the here and now is a prerequisite for employment in an industry like journalism. You can’t just lie back and wax nostalgic about how things that were acceptable aren’t now, and believe that excuses ones current actions. Hopefully we’ve progressed a bit. It’s sad what happened to him, but I get the feeling he knows he did make a few “off-color” remarks and was quite unaware of the lens society views comments like that. The latter part is probably the real fault.
I see, it's interesting that ypu wrote it all in C, pandas in Python
ISS is much brighter now than any satellite you would have seen then. Sometimes it can even be seen before sunset. Other satellites sometimes get bright enough to be seen in large cities too.
Anecdata: I've had this happen to me. In travel for an old job, I've had the pleasure of spending time in other countries with foreign languages. Any prep study in those languages absolutely paled in comparison with being forced to use the language all day long. It was especially hard when I was tired from a long day of work. However, I now know that was the most important time for me. Those tired moments when I just wanted wine or beer or a taxi ride and didn't want to speak the language anymore but had no other choice were when I really cemented the language in my head. It's incredibly difficult, and expensive, but I really feel that living in the language for a few weeks is worth the effort and time, much more so than any course. That said, take the course for a few months before you get on the ground, it really helps.
The thing is, they really don't. They just stop working after few minutes of no connectivity.

No real roundtrip happening.
> If you can't speak a slur in the context of a conversation about racist language, when can you?

Rap and/or hip-hop + the politically-approved ancestry.
> It amplifies productivity on the task at hand, which seems to be one of the things the OP claims is impossible

This is not what the previous commenter said. They said flow allows you to focus on a single task.

This is not productivity amplification, it's improved time/focus/energy allocation.
This sounds as if the author didn't return the trade-in kit in time, and the credit reversal on the Apple Card, which was unpaid and past-due, appeared as a scammer to Apple.

What isn't said here, is that Goldman Sach's is likely to have a number of people attempting these sorts of things as scams.

Can someone who works in finance comment as to whether Apple's action might be something contractually required by Goldman Sachs?
based on this horror, I'm going to stop using this card. I do not want my apple id locked out because of a stupid credit card issue.
Thanks for posting long chat with redactions. That iMessage thread you posted is quite frustrating to read through. I can only empathize you for going through that horrifying experience. Hope you find a resolution soon.
No. An auth can fail for regular cards as well, especially in a case like this when the auth was placed almost two months before the attempted charges. Most auth holds are only valid for a week or so.

In your BofA card, the credit card could decline the charge if it put the holder over their credit limit. For all we know, that might be why the Apple Card charge was declined.
Now that I work for a big evil corporation, I have some insights on why these inexplicably evil things happen. Fun at parties, I know. Not excusing it, just shedding light for anyone interested in the systems perspective.

>It appears as though charges from Apple are special

This is exactly right. You offer branded cards because interchange fees are expensive. You want people who buy your stuff to pay you by ACH. That's not practical at the point of sale, but it is practical if you frame it as the monthly payment on your store-brand credit card. Charges at the store on the store-brand card are always special. That's why the cards are offered.

From a merchant's perspective, anyone who buys something is really taking out a loan. In most cases such a loan will be settled by the customer's card issuer, less the interchange fee. In the case of a branded card, it will be settled by the customer directly and in full. In either case, if this doesn't happen on time, the customer's account with the merchant is now in arrears.

Most of the time this happens, the "customer" is farming stolen credit card numbers for resalable goods. You are never going to find these people, let alone rehabilitate them and settle up. So the "hey, you did a lot of chargebacks to us, what the hell?" state is not user friendly. It's scorched earth. I would be cautious about signing into any other Apple accounts on devices that have been associated with yours.
In a market like SF, or on Million Dollar Listing, I think the argument towards the commission is that the agent will either save you that much through negotiation (or earn you more through inflation) and/or they will get you something that you couldn't get otherwise (e.g. an unlisted property or a celebrity buyer). That said, I imagine the agents' return-on-arbitrage is actually even higher at the top price points, and even harder to quantify because deal details can be obfuscated (e.g. through LLCs etc).
So we should know now how it has turned out.

In a population of 7B people, at steady state, on the order of 100M die every day. (With the population growing fast, the number is probably smaller.) At +300K/day, that is an extra 100M deaths in a year, or >2x. I think we would have heard about that, even in the US where people are routinely in the dark about foreign events.
I wish there was a direct link to each object so we could link to individual objects.
Can you quantify how or why it’s worse? It seems like it could also just seem like it’s “worse” to you since it is something that could actually effect you.
Yeah, it seems that way to me too. I think it will be viewed as a backwards and sad episode that cost...well, everyone...a great deal.

It's 70% power, 20% revenge, and 10% justice. A cri-de-coeur of the bored.
If it happened in an elementary school we'd call it bullying.
This incredibly awesome, I wonder what the ratio of displayed size of each object is to their actual size.
It is not just a simple nopaste support, but a paste event listener. I guess back websites just uses preventDefault to prevent pasting. Although this is anti user, but it also has good use cases such as pasting image into a rich editor. Websites like Google Doc do have legitimate use of this feature.
After reading vidarh's comment below ("The biggest challenge with evaluating all of these, is that once you've listened to a comprehensible version of one of these samples, they all sound more intelligible."), I recommend trying to listen to the Lyra version first, then listen to the original next. It actually does sound very strange when you don't have the true audio parsed in your head already. I'm not sure if I would like having to do the extra work to translate this in my head on every conversation.

It's more apparent in the video example from the Google post, I won't spoil it but there's a word that starts with B that sounds very funny in the Lyra version (listen to that one first): https://ai.googleblog.com/2021/02/lyra-new-very-low-bitrate-...
If I made a trade in purchase on January 1st with my Chase card, closed the card account on January 15th, failed to send in my trade in, and then did not act on any threatening emails from Apple thereafter, how do I not end up in exactly this situation?
+1. Credit Cards are not PayPal. You can only cancel recurring transactions on PayPal because those are set up directly on PayPal.

If you find someone is charging your card, ask them to stop, and to refund you. Only if they refuse should you attempt to cancel the charge via your card. This results in a chargeback to the place that charged you, which typically comes with a hefty fee for them.
Xiaomi makes money off services. Tracking subsidizes hardware. It's a business model. There's always option to unlock.
It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. On one hand, YouTube has an existing userbase to tap into, on the other, it will be hard to jostle into TikTok's niche, and Google hasn't had much luck with social endeavors.
At our current launch rate, by 2210 we'll be at around ~22000 effective number of objects in LEO and see ~20-50 "catastrophic collisions" per year.

We're not at that point yet so concern is not as great (but we're working on it).

What do you mean I have to use iwconfig to fix my network? No, I just want to connect to a network. I don't want to write scripts for every device to suspend and resume.
Neat concept. I'm considering building an extension as well, though for a different market. How was the process? Any major pitfalls to avoid?
Their comment: Things were bad during Obama's reign, as they were under Trump. Biden won't bring change, unless systemic change will be implemented.

Your response: I think your knee-jerk focus on who the president is (and denying the possibility of change) demonstrates what I was saying: the rhetoric has convinced people that it doesn't matter and it's all some national team sport.
Who said you cannot? Just do it, and see.
I'd also like to know if there are non-artificial objects orbiting earth what their ratio is compared to man-made objects. Are there an equal amount or perhaps more comet/astroid-type objects that we simply don't track?

Having European data subjects is enough ground to ask them to abide by the GDPR.
But assume they won't, then you'll have to go to a European court, which could rule whatever, but it can't do much to a company that has no money or persons in the EU to collect from.
I’m so glad to see harmonics well discussed in the comments, and was so disappointed to see it not mentioned once in the article. Putting aside percussive differences between instruments or playing style (which also have harmonic effects but aren’t always perceived that way), the difference between a “frequency” that sounds different but measures the same is generally because there are many less prominent frequencies behind the dominant one. That’s why some sounds twang and other sounds thunder. That’s why some coated strings sound dull. That’s why loose drum heads sound loose. That’s why a sawtooth or sine wave sounds synthetic: it is, nothing in real life sounds like that.
The way they're laid out on the map looks like there should be thousands of collisions every second. True size of each object is not perceptible on this and the distance between each object. Is there a log of collisions in real time?
I thought NTP specifically did account for transit latency. Not sure why I made that assumption, but if it’s not true, how can I ever trust my clock to be correct?
Are you not listening to what anyone else is telling you here? Did you not read the article?

It's not about "scanning into junk". The problem would happen if you used scanf to extract integers from a string of `' '.join([1]*1000000)`. Because you would make 1,000,000 scanf calls, and _each_ of those calls would call strlen on the string, quadratically scanning over the string to repeatedly find the end.

In fact, every sscanf is O(size of the string) even when the string is well formed. This is not a well behaved function.
What percentage of these objects are dead or out of commission?
It seems like there's plenty of "willful misunderstanding" from folk on both sides of the political spectrum. It seems like two sides of the same coin to me, and it doesn't really matter too much because ultimately the carnival game is rigged to eat the coin regardless. Whether you're a neo-nazi or a marxist-commie, we're all slightly awkward but reasonable nerds here right? I think most sane people can agree that data breaches are bad, and that black hat hackers are bad guys and white hat hackers are good guys?

Speaking of finding common ground, I thought the recent GME schenanigans were notable in that folk on both extremes of the political spectrum seemed to agree that it was fun "sticking it to the man". Was anyone here not cheering the "irrational" retail traders on?
Doubting something and dismissing it are two different animals in the same zoo.

Just to reiterate the other response to your comment, meta comments are often welcomed, especially when they are expressing thanks or gratitude.

Content-less comments that derail the conversation, comments that are needlessly inflammatory - these are the kinds of meta comments that are not wanted.

I do know Conservatives who I would consider to be pro-free-speech. They're just not the people on Gab. My criticism here is that in many cases, literally the same people that I see talking about how Net Neutrality might be problematic are advocating for concepts like reintroducing a Fairness Doctrine, for imposing massive regulations on what Facebook can and can't censor. At some point it's OK to acknowledge those contradictory positions aren't born out of some kind of nuance, they're born out of either thoughtlessness or bad faith.

I'm willing to engage with Conservatives who are genuinely grappling with free speech and aren't falling into those contradictions, but I'm also not going to pretend that Gab has ever been a good faith actor in that conversation. Being upfront about the obviously hypocritical sections of both the far right and many mainstream GOP senators is a necessary part of that engagement. It means acknowledging that Conservatives are diverse, but also being blunt about the overall direction (in the context of the legislation, surveys, platforms like CPAC, and general official party statements coming out) that the party is going is not in a pro-free-speech direction. Because if I'm not upfront about those things, then the conversation just devolves into reexplaining freedom of association for the 20th time. And that devolution of discussion also crowds out the Conservatives who actually do care about free speech who might have something interesting to say.

Part of this is that I actually do care about free speech, so I have a vested interest in making progress during conversations, in moving past basic ideas that the free speech community has already hashed out, and instead engaging with more complicated ideas that are more important right now. I don't want to waste time rehashing the same debates over and over again just because people like Ted Cruz, Andrew Torba, and Donald Trump don't understand the free market. Not only because I don't really want to engage with those people in general, but also because the actual free speech debate matters, and those people are holding it back.

My frustration here was a response to a comment arguing that criticism of Gab as a platform was a sign that Americans overall no longer care about free speech. I'm happy to engage with Conservatives that have more nuanced views, but again, in my experience those are usually not the people who are trying to sell Gab as a free speech utopia. And to the original comment's question of why "free speech" platforms like Gab often tend to market primarily to a very specific segment of the alt right, it's important to understand that it's not because everyone else hates the 1st Amendment, it's because the alt right uses the "free speech" debate disingenuously as a cloak to hide more nefarious goals.
I think that I follow your logic.

But retirement funding is so dependent on an individual's expenses, ability to generate income, expectations, risk tolerance, and available resources such as assets and family. These are all different for different people. Life expectancy and related health expenses are a huge unknown. Rich or poor we are all going to die, but we don't know when or how.

I think it's reasonable to retire as a healthy 50 year old with a million dollars. I know that may be unconventional around here. The existing (subsidized) obamacare and (supplemented) medicare options are a pretty good deal, in combination with savings to cover deductables, out of pocket maximums, and dental. Medicaid would be the backup for the
worst-case scenarios, typically long term nursing home care. But that'll bankrupt most people, in most countries [0]. Is it reasonable to expect otherwise?

I was curious about the $390k figure you quoted, there wasn't any detail provided. I wonder if these are expenses over and above what medicare covers, like elective surgeries, or if this figure includes money for private nursing home care, etc. It was for two people.

Back to your original post, it is easy to keep retirement savings in a qualified 401k/ira/roth account that, along with a primary residence up to a generous maximum, is protected from medical debt with the exception of long term care. A retired millionaire should have around half of their money protected in such accounts. Do other countries give someone in similar financial circumstances a better deal?
