I am not a lawyer, but it seemed to me upon reading the original complaint that the case was going nowhere. Amazon has no obligation to serve anyone anything.

Now, if ISPs and other Internet service providers were regulated as utilities, that could change. Arguably, it should.

But that's not where we stand, and Parler makes just about the worst argument in favor of that kind of regulation possible: "Companies should be forced to host our awful, dangerous, and high-liability content, which we will not properly moderate or manage!"

It was always going nowhere.
In some countries the government calculates the (simple compared to US) taxes and all you do is approve it. That would be possible here too for most people, but neither politicians (of various stripes) or Intuit wants anything to change. Only the US turns paying taxes into the equivalent of Quantum Mechanics.
I second this recommendation. I think someone in HN recommended this, very fascinating. My respect and interest for octopuses and surprisingly cuttlefish went way high up after reading this book. Kudos to whoever recommended it!

It feels like we are wasting our time looking for aliens searching for them in the skies (especially the unscientific work around oumuamua).

They are living right beside us in the form of cephalopods. We haven't deployed enough science on these amazing creatures yet (without of course distributing them like putting them in cages), probably because it's not a sexy field as compared to say astronomy or other cool things...
> Also, I don't understand why you agree that animals should be killed humanely where possible if you don't care about their emotional state.

I'll break that down for you.

I recognize animals can feel pain, and that they don't like it. I have pets, I don't want them to feel pain; but I also won't shell out thousands for vet care like some folks do if the worst should happen. In other words, I'm realistic about it while not being overly emotional. I think there's a curve function where we can choose the optimal level of reducing suffering while also maximizing the availability of protein for consumption; I think there's room on that curve for humane killing of livestock. No problem.

Would you consider -3 a number? It's certainly not a measure of quantity. A better way of thinking about it is that it's 2 things: a magnitude and a direction. Complex numbers just expand the direction into two dimensions. As long as you accept negative numbers, then you already accept the fact that there can be more than one number of a given size. The complex numbers just contain infinitely many numbers of a given size, instead of only 2.

I am sorry but I am going to be that guy. Iconography has regressed so much, it's all the same optically to me. Designers keep pushing minimalism and line-graphics to "reduce crud" like its some sort of a religion. We can't distinguish icons well. There is no effort put into making them more unique and recognizable. What a horrible cult.

Check out these glorious past remnants that we've forgotten about, they were so uhhh iconic : http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/

We love to see someone take Fam Fam Fam icons and create SVG versions of them. Iconography takes time and effort and enormous amount of patience, skill. You can't do this in a week in illustrator which is how it seems most icons are designed today. We've become lazy, want free stuff and no one is incentivized to spend 2 years creating amazing icons. The market for paid icons doesn't exist and we've done this to ourselves because we're addicted to free stuff.

Google services icons? All impossible to tell apart now. Apple macOS dock? They use to be different shapes and sizes, now they are all chicklet squares in macOS Big Sur. Apple fired the guy (Forstall) that was the brilliant mind behind Apple's approach to UI way back in 2013. Since then, Apple UI design sucks.

It is all getting worse, day by day, icon by icon. Iconography was a discipline people took seriously before 2010's. Windows 95, 98, XP icons were so amazing. They thought deeply about it. No one gives a shit anymore.
pi(3 + 5) == 3pi + 5pi == (Pi + Pi + Pi) + (Pi + Pi + Pi + Pi + Pi) == 8-pi.

Am I missing something here?

--------

This "multiplication is repeated addition through the distributed property" thing works on freaking __matricies__. They don't even have to be numbers or even related.

Pi * ([ 1 0 ; + [ 1 0 ;
0 1 ] 2 1 ])

Pi * [ 1 0 ; + Pi * [ 1 0 ;
0 1 ] 2 1 ]

[ Pi 0 ; + [ Pi 0 ;
0 Pi ] 2Pi Pi ]

[ 2Pi 0 ;
2Pi 2Pi ]

You can even "break up" the two matricies into its component parts:

Pi * ( 1 0 + 0 0 + 1 0 + 0 0 + 0 0 )
0 0 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 1

And you'll still get the correct answer: multiplication is repeated addition. Even with matricies. Even with vectors. Even in Galois Fields. Even with rational numbers. Even with real numbers. Even with Complex numbers. This property holds through all forms of math that I'm aware of.

> Making it sound as if I and others are talking in absolutes and manufacturing talking points around that is a waste of everyones time.

I joined this discussion because you said "The Nazis were socialist only in name."

Only.

That sounds fairly absolute to me.
Sure. We can estimate the level of pain caused, and minimize it. That's the definition of humane; it's totally arbitrary and it's up to us to define. Nobody said zero pain or suffering is on the table; it's not like it is an option in our own lives, either.
What I want to see in a search engine is this: An array of customizable buttons that you can select to hint at the type of search that you are doing. News, Technical, Shopping. Especially one to filter out all shopping related results.

For example, if I want to learn about a country, I do not want any travel related stuff in my search results. On the other hand, if I am looking for ideas for my next holidays, throw all the flight, hotel, beach infos about that country at me that you have.

Or give me a button that limits my search result to stackoverflow and stackexchange. Their own search engine sucks ass, so i have to rely on google (using "site:stackoverflow.com").

Give me this and a decent search results, and you have a paying customer.
They might have said that in the 1930s before the government imposed restrictions on selling gold. A tiny minority of people owns bitcoin. If it gets seen as linked to bad guys then it will not be hard to ban, any more than it would be unpopular to ban e.g. complex derivatives that are seen as making markets unstable.
They could, but IIRC Intuit and HR Block lobbied the government to make this an impossibility.

At the risk of sounding "euphoric", it always felt to me that most of the "AI ethics" field was just hacks trying to hitch their wagon to a fast growing field without needing the discriminating credentials.

At least from time to time I would have liked to see an article or two about how it would be unethical to allow humans to do something that AI was better at. Instead it's all FUD about creating a complex framework for evaluating who self driving cars should choose to kill in emergencies, when the obvious answer from an engineering perspective is to just hit the brakes.

I can imagine Google was getting tired of paying out the nose for what was mostly drivel
Totally agreed. Relationships are hard.

Leading how to do them well means having relationships.

Casual sex for a limited time window is good for learning more about sex, but if you don’t shift to investing in relationship building, you may not learn those skills before it is too late.

I wouldn't call the fact that pi is irrational an insight of "early mathematics." We knew that sqrt(2) was irrational around 500 BC if not earlier. We didn't know pi was irrational until around the time of the American revolution.
Turbotax et al. lobby heavily to prevent this. Given that much of the relevant information--W2s, 1099s, etc., are already reported, you'd think that this would be easier for a very large percentage of taxpayers. But it would effectively kill TurboTax's business.

"Jesus' Terrible Financial Advice". I was morally hung up/worried about making money, becoming wealthy. Odd I know but for me this was a big deal. This book highlighted the fact the bible doesn't teach us to persue wealth or purposely try and make ourselves poor. Now my thoughts are in order I am happy to work hard and not be hung up on outcomes. The freedom in my thinking helped as I left my job and went out on my own. I earn a lot more now. Maybe I won't next year. Either way hopefully I will be happy.

I can name 10 other uses of energy that could be categorized as "wasteful" which is completely subjective. From large homes with the AC cranked, to rendering of pointless video on youtube and social apps, to destination aeroplane travel, idle electronics, etc.

BTC for many is a way to stop central banks from eroding their lifetime savings which they paid for with their physical labor and time. Thats not a waste of energy in my opinion.
That. And the idea that the cuttlefish are perhaps showing their internal state via their changing color patterns and not as a sinajng device. And of course their fairly short lives.
It's an OK product. The interesting thing about TurboTax lobbying is that they oppose most attempts to simplify the law because the value of their product is for people who have tax situations that are too complex for an individual but not complex enough to make hiring a full-time tax accountant worthwhile.
Seems to me that you're a small minority, and that most Brave users feel that the company IS aligned with them. The cryptocurrency was a key aspect for early user adoption, and the referral stuff is something that I only ever see mentioned on HN by clearly-biased commenters.

I agree with this more than you might think. It’s basically the position I used to hold too.

The main issue I have is that I think you can’t get the killing without the suffering.

There’s another piece too, about killing intelligent life (even without suffering). Basically the argument I made in a comment above.

Not only are ML techniques finding ways to do physics with less energy, the amount of waste by non-ML computing absolutely swamps ML computing. I don't care if training a model uses the amount of CO2 that a translatlanic flight uses, because those flights are flying constantly, some of them not filled to the max. The whole criticism about energy in the paper seemed to miss major details that I'd expect top researchers to get right.

BTW, I ran a large scale computing platform at Google for several years. It made absolutely enormous, stunningly huge amounts of CPU available to scientists and we used it to make several important breakthroughs. However, after a few years, I finally was shown what the power cost implications were, and I shut down the project because the costs were not justified by the scientific benefits. Compared to what I was doing, ML is relatively skimpy on CPU.
>It's only in an instance where you would otherwise just hire a tax accountant that they charge you.

This is false. There's no need for 90% of people to hire an accountant to file their state tax return, for which Intuit charges.
The "tragedy of the commons" will make that argument rather unconvincing.
> You've obviously never been an unattractive man on Tinder. It's not just "hard", it's mentally excruciating.

You don't have to be unattractive to find it excruciating, it's just generally excruciating by its very nature. Being in the top 5% or so of attractiveness is just the only way out. Dating apps are terrible and will one day rank among mankind's most awful crimes.

> I'm tired of this, "just keep trying and you'll land a woman" narrative. It's the same logic that capitalists use to tell poor people, "just keep working hard and you'll succeed".

Eh, I think in this case it is generally true though. If you approach dating from a perspective of finding potential mutual-goal life partners as opposed to some kind of sex-hunting or prize-seeking game, you probably can find someone. Society doesn't encourage us to think of relationships in this way though.

> It expects people to keep facing failure after failure and never let's us admit that for some men dating is just not worth the pain involved.

On this I will agree at least. If you find dating a damaging experience that makes your life worse, then it's ok to just not do it. Or at least find a different way to do it. Definitely not apps.
Wouldn’t a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation be looking for some sort of markers, or metrics, to determine a known vs unknown state or evaluation result? Per your link, psych eval is to determine known disorders or other mental states. By definition, there has to be criteria.

You said, no measurable effect is not the same as volunteers perception of the effect. But wouldn’t that still be a measurable effect, by the volunteers perception?
>> Multiplication requires different units.
>> 2 baskets × 3 apples per basket = 6 apples

No it doesn't. In that example the "baskets" and "per baskets" (ie x/baskets) are cancelling each other. 2 baskets x 3 apples/baskets = 2 x 3 apples = 6 apples. Once you remove the unnecessary terms the actual multiplication is still basic repeated addition.

2 hours x 3 miles per hour = 2 x 3 miles = 3miles+3miles = 6 miles.
It feels like its part of the broader, somewhat global, rebellion against the financial economy; all the domains of finance which have become disconnected from the real markets and real economy, which more-often-than-not only exist for banks to make money off each other, and to crash both the real and financial economies when they screw up.

Arguably, it started back in 2008 with the global recession, which was, again arguably, totally the result of missteps and corruption in the financial economy. By the end of that, practically no one was held accountable for what happened. and we entered an insane decade+ long bull market inflated by our sovereigns printing money rarely to support Americans, but rather American companies and our financial markets. This bull market coincides with a massive rise in cryptocurrency, which also represents a rebellion against established financial markets and the meddling of both sovereigns and financial corporations in the financial stability of the average citizen.

Then, you reach short-interest, which historically serves some minuscule, though non-zero, amount of utility for the real economy, and has come under legitimate fire as being another tool which puts our economy at risk. I think the problem with short selling is best summed up by the end of the Big Short, as the main characters are sitting on steps of an abandoned bank, having made billions of dollars profiting off of the destruction of the American economy. The strange thing about markets, and economics in general, is that they are self-fulfilling prophesies. If enough people want a stock to drop, if they want a company to suffer by having a financial interest in it suffering; it will. This is different from simply selling a stock, which in-some-way causes the price to drop, because it changes the narrative from "I don't think it will go up" to "I think it will go down". By selling a stock, you're removing your stake; by short-selling, you're increasing your stake in a negative direction (and moreover, short interest is almost always leveraged, which compounds the problem).

In other words, I think the increasing zeitgeist surrounding the perception of our financial markets as being unable to serve the interests of the real economy, and more importantly the average American, is an unusually accurate response to a real problem, and it follows that it would become a social justice issue. The government needs to take this seriously; again, economies are self-fulfilling prophesies. Crisis often start not because there is a crisis, but because people believe there's a crisis.

> It's only in an instance where you would otherwise just hire a tax accountant that they charge you.

This is false. It's plenty possible to be in neither scenario, and every year millions of Americans are.

Further, the 1040EZ system no longer exists. Tax filers often charge for "tax accountant" services like having a moderate income or filing state taxes.
To put some specific numbers on it, Mitsubishi's "Hyper-Heating" heat pumps claim 100% capacity down to 23℉ (-5℃), and 76% capacity down to -13℉ (-25℃). This is for their ductless mini-split systems.

Fujitsu is similar.

Mr Cool makes the claim [1] that theirs "can heat at 100% capacity at –5 degrees Fahrenheit, even with outdoor temperatures as low as -22 degrees Fahrenheit".

I think Mr Cool is talking about a central system, and so they are claiming 100% with the outdoor unit at -22℉ (-30℃) and the indoor unit, presumably in your unheated crawlspace, is at -5℉ (-21℃).

Mr Cool also claims cooling with an outdoor temperature up to 115℉ (46℃), which so far is under the max for much of Texas, so heat pumps are a good choice still in Texas as long as you get one of the newer models with the good low temperature performance.
