I remember the first time I tried DuckDuckGo I searched the word "breast" as a test. Not a single search result with the adult filter. Not even chicken breast recipes. They seemed to have improved it since then.
Most food in America is designed for transport durability and yield. So if you go for the nicer canned tomatoes which doesn't rely on the tomato itself for durability, they're quite good. On the same level as the imported DOP stuff.

Of course you're probably referring to fresh tomatoes. And by in large I agree but I would like to point out that California has some pretty darn tasty tomatoes. Sure you might have to go out of your way or pay a little extra to get them but they exist.

I would like to postulate that having an else makes it easier to read. We think in if/else fuzzy scenarios, it's why it flows so well in code. If you were teaching someone about traffic lights you would verbally explain something like this:

if (light == green) {
go()
} else {
stop()
}

Not this:

if (light != green) {
stop()
}
go()

...and we haven't handled what to do when the light is orange.

Edit: In total agreement about the the single return, which is why I ignored that part of your post.

Basically everything on your list is highly highly regulated except for vitamins which should be. They really should be. When you buy vitamins you have no idea if they work or do anything, it’s a giant waste of money. I’ve read some studies on the bioavailability of magnesium supplements and they range from 20 to 90% depending on the brand. FDA regulated Tylenol doesn’t range from 20 to 90% affective depending on whether I get the brand-name or generic. This is yet another argument in support of regulation. [1]

As for the reason these financial products are regulated, they lead in part to the great depression. State has an interest in it because it is in the states interest to maintain a functioning economy.

There are compelling arguments against regulations, particularly in industries that have no business being regulated like aestheticians. Or barbers. There is genuinely no good reason for that. But the suggested vitamins and drugs shouldn’t be regulated, but financial product should be regulated? I’m having a hard time with this one.

The first email in the thread [0] has 10 reasons why Stallman should be cancelled. They repeat Stallman's earlier opinions about pedophilia from before he changed his opinion on that, so they shouldn't be valid.

About point 5 about "defending sexual assault", I think it's important to note that it was "sexual assault" only because that is the statutory charge used in Texas for violating the age of consent law [1]. If the incident [2] had happened a few miles away in Oklahoma where the age of consent is 16, there would not be a "sexual assault" charge. I complete agree with Stallman's other point (made elsewhere) that more precise language needs be used to describe what actually happened.

I'm not defending Stallman about everything - the other points, which can be summed up as "he's a creep towards women and alienates them", are problematic, and if he won't change his behaviour that might be a valid reason to cancel him.

After not paying attention to cryptocurrency for a few years and then opening a Coinbase account earlier this year, I was SHOCKED how fast and easy everything was. From what I can discern as a user, they've made a great platform.

My one worry-- it seems like they use a similar pattern to Robinhood where upon purchase they grant an asset immediately (synthetically?), and then settle up actual holdings after the fact. What kind of risk does that open them up to in an asset class as volatile as crypto?
Grew up reading Phrack too. Work as pentester these days. I understand code deeply, and have tried my hand at everything from memory corruption exploits to javascript SPA apps.

I hate technology more and more. It's moving in the wrong direction. Almost everything technological seems to be used to increase control over individuals, extract money, track or predict.

No company can seem to withstand the lure and the power that comes from controlling, analyzing and aggressively tracking users.

Every traditional device that works just fine, now only has 'smart' alternatives available. The only value-add for the consumer appears to be that I can use my smartphone as the thermostat remote. The value for the energy company seems to be to better predict when to raise prices and bill & track me.

Public discourse really overindexed on social media companies selling data (not their biz model) and ignored LexisNexis, Axciom, and their ilk (is their biz model).

> I see a lot of crypto enthusiasts speak highly about NFTs which I find odd. They generally have very well thought out and reasoned arguments for Bitcoin as a digital store of wealth, but then they go into NFTs and talk about scarcity.

I've seen the opposite - most crypto enthusiasts I have spoken to don't seem to understand NFTs at all / why they are considered valuable by other people. I fit into that camp.

> Overall I'm very bullish on crypto as digital gold, less so on Ethereum style apps and even less so on NFTs.

I'm quite bullish on Ethereum style "defi" apps - once we finally have decent layer 2 options and software deployed on layer 2, I think interest rates on stablecoins will be a large incentive for folks to start onboarding. The big remaining piece then is convincing people to spend their stable coins at stores - I would expect some level of "rewards" paid by the store would be sufficient. Essentially, an app that you can deposit funds into, earn interest that is well above what your bank account pays, and earns rewards that are competitive (or ideally beat) with credit cards.

Inflation is a totally separate issue. The value of money is the value of the goods and services produced by the economy divided by the total money supply. That is completely independent of how that value is distributed. If you pay for UBI by borrowing, you will produce (some) inflation. If you pay for it with taxes, you won't. Again, this is purely political. When the government borrows, it indirectly taxes savings (by producing inflation), which people generally don't notice as much as an actual tax bill.

> Can we really say that the benefits outweigh them?

That's a judgement call. And there is more at play here than just inflation. The economy is a very complex dynamic system. My point is that these things are not consequences of the laws of physics which we are powerless to change. These things are consequences of decisions we make as a society. These decisions are not easy, but they are ours to make.

Let's be realistic.. let's say you are a c++ programmer and want to learn some modern JS framework. I bet you it will literally take less than a week of concentrated study work for you to become better than 80-90% of people working with it. You can get a book on the subject, there's great tutorials, heck, just reading the reference will get you far.

This is true for a lot of stuff on youtube, coursera etc. I believe. It's for people who don't want to get to the destination faster, by reading a few books and doing the exercises in them.

I suppose you must be right. I'm just wondering if there's some method they use to tell the difference between "this was left here 105k years ago" and "someone dug a hole here 50k years ago and buried them".

Is it just as simple as "it doesn't look like it was ever dug up"? I have no clue how this stuff works.
Yeah, I was tempted to comment that I guess I'm a Luddite because my reaction to seeing any link to a video or audio file is "please just give me text."
AFAIK, you'll need to have at least `setw -g mode-keys vi` in your ~/.tmux.conf file to allow tmux to use vi keybindings in copy mode (`Ctrl+b ]`). Make sure to fully exit all tmux sessions and start a new session after making that change.

I have basically the same setup as you, and I think that's the only thing I've manually configured. I also run the oh-my-zsh tmux plugin, and iTerm2's tmux integration, which seemed to work out of the box for me.
Those stances are not mutually incompatible. The safety net is there because it leads to worse outcomes for everyone to not have it, not as a statement on what people should and shouldn't be spending their money on.

Putting your entire net worth (to the point where you're out of room and board) into any investment instrument is unwise. I'd even support regulations at that point, i.e. you may not directly invest more than X% of your income

They who?

> they wouldn't pass highly controversial legislation with all sorts of policies with zero bipartisan support

The lack of bipartisan support has nothing to do with the emergency, aforementioned. The issue is that the US consumer doesn't believe it's an emergency. That's the THEY everyone addresses, even if someone believes their "they" means someone else.

Once the US consumer (70% or so) is afraid of something, political clout follows. See the slow adoption of Marijuana Decriminalization and Bike Helmet Law adoption across states.
I don't think they're speaking too strongly. I think a lot of the time when we correctly infer causality without empirically interacting with the system, it's because we have built up significant categorical experience about more atomic systems we were able to interact with.

In my view, a lot of things that are noninteractively inferred are compositions of more fundamental things that required empirical experience. When you've had the causality of gravity thoroughly beaten into you at a young age, a lot of other things seem intuitive that would otherwise completely fall outside a framework for being unempirically learned.

Do you have a specific counterexample of causality you can infer without interaction or empirical experience of something related?

Caveats: I'm not a neurologist or psychologist, so this is mostly philosophical speculation on my part.
Absolutely. It would also be a net benefit for those who can't hear well and/or also don't have the quietness/tech to listen in peace. Way too many times I've had to pass up on podcasts in general because there isn't a transcript.

> It distresses me that many of the comments here lament this UBI program because it targets POC

It shouldn't distress you. I am one person (of unknown quality) but I have found the comments to be perfectly fine. Aside from the pedantic arguments (universal versus guaranteed) which offer no viewpoint of the policy, every commenter wants to improve the lives of their poor, black and brown neighbors. They just also want to improve the lives of their poor, white neighbors as well.

Is it so bad a thing to want to extend a good thing (which you support) to include more people? Isn't that the definition of inclusivity? Should it matter if a statistical measure (the racial wealth gap) changes more slowly so long as more people get the chance to live a dignified life?

Edit: I want to clarify I'm not asking these questions rhetorically. I genuinely want to understand your perspective.
They interpreted incorrectly per English grammar. We don’t know whether they interpreted correctly or incorrectly per the utterer’s intention, as the utterer has not clarified their intention.

This isn’t a question of style, but one of grammar.
The midnight (end of day) 24:00 notation is a curious case. The copy I have of a draft of ISO 8601:2019 removed it, which I thought was a shame. But the end of this comment https://old.reddit.com/r/ISO8601/comments/mikuj1/i_bought_is... suggests that this change didn’t survive into the final standard, so 24:00 is still allowed, as in older editions of ISO 8601.
I wanted a copy a couple of times per year, but never considered buying. With some exceptions, they are available elsewhere as a gratis download. All hail https://enwp.org/Libgen https://enwp.org/Z-Library

> Real world NFTs (e.g. art and collectibles) are unique in that there is no dispute about what the original is. The art was created by the artist or its a forgery. In that regard NFTs rely on some issuing entity that bestows upon itself an arbitrary form of ownership. I can make my own Twitter token and if I get someone to buy a coin for an absurd amount (insider dealing?), and convince reports to write about it, I can be "the twitter nft"

I think of NFTs as a fancy system of determining provenance: X bought hash Y from seller Z. Whether other people assign meaning/value to that transaction is subject to the usual whims of human nature.

I was an early adopter of Go and used it for some small projects before it hit 1.0. It's a pleasure to use and the ecosystem and the team at Google are top notch. I count it among the most impactful projects that Google has done ... among such accomplishments as Android, Youtube, Search, Maps, Chrome, and Gmail. Go is the bedrock on which thousands of impactful projects, like Kubernetes, Docker, and others are made possible. And those projects in turn empower thousands of startups to create better software.

Hats off to Google for that one. Google has become a sort of lumbering giant but it still does great work.

TFIDF (Spärck Jones (1972) Journal of Documentation) is a weighting scheme for word frequencies in the vector space model of information retrieval.

So the former are part of systems, the latter are part of measuring the quality of systems.
> For the record, I've been what could accurately be called a climate change alarmist for over three decades now.

It must be tiring, eh? I imagine it's a microcosm of the experience of a Jehovah's Witness; you continually have some new threshold of irreparable doom, which you keep having to punt off 5-10 years, even though your sense of certainty that everything is doomed is never alleviated.

Somehow too, despite no significant warming or sea level rise over that time, you've moved up your level of expectation that we are doomed - you're doubling down on the hypothesis, huffing doom headlines like gasoline out of a bag. Can't be good for your mental health or your long term legacy planning.

> A primary 'doomer movement' in the 1970s when I was growing up was population. Even among the most forward thinking, optimistic people of the time, few if any could imagine our planet being able to feed 8 billion people.

Turns out that this was a double edged sword; massive amounts of propaganda in response to the population problem resulted in responsible people in the West using birth control and having fewer children, while the irresponsible here and the backward elsewhere continued their existing breeding strategy unabated. The result, of course, is that Africa is going to have several billion people by 2100 depending on the projection you prefer, without doing anything to increase its own capacity to feed its people without charity from the West. As our own birth rates plummet, we're forced to resort to mass immmigration to shore up the labour force, resulting in turn in the watering down and decay of our culture and any institutions that are fundamentally Western in nature.

Not sure that worked out the way anyone wanted, really.

> Yes, accept that there's a strong probability that human civilization will collapse in the lifetime of Millennials.

I honestly see no reason to believe this is true. If it does happen, it's not going to be because of climate change - that's still a long ways out on any reasonable projection. No, it's going to be because of classic civilizational decay, not unlike what happened to Rome, as we debase our currency, sacrifice our values, allow our cities to fall to organized crime and violence, and watch our institutions crumble under the force of 'woke' people who have never created any value in their short, pointless lives.
It’s so weird that when what could be dumped into a river got regulated, the river stopped catching fire. Is that orthogonal too? Maybe a coincidence?

These were already violations of the TCPA in the 9th Circuit under the 9th Circuit's previous ruling in Marks where the court found that an autodialer is any equipment that dials a number from a stored list.

Marks was used as precedent for this lawsuit. Facebook argued that this case was different from Marks. The Ninth Circuit found otherwise. SCOTUS appears to have shot down the ruling from Marks.

Marks was widely regarded as a terrible decision because it made no sense at the time. It's nice to see SCOTUS return some common sense to the law.

Note also that the TCPA allows for statutory damages of up to $1500 per violation, so it takes less than 675 calls/texts to rack up $1M in liability. Class action attorneys love it because they don't have to show damages. They only have to show that the call or text was sent using an autodialer.
Ethos Capital is at it again
Net demand doesn't increase, because that $20/hour came from somewhere. Increase in wages means less elsewhere (ideally, corporate profit). Total demand remains constant.

That's a macro view. Drilling down there will be some products that get more attention, some less. Say, Bezos buys one fewer yacht, and his employees switch from dollar store cat food to Chicken McNuggets. Prices will jiggle around, but there's no increase in the money supply and so no net inflation.

Data repeatedly shows that there isn't a consistent effect from increases to the minimum wage -- as expected. There are too many other factors in the price of goods, and minimum wage changes get lost in the noise.
Yup, that sort of thing is happening all over the planet.

Things get really confusing when, one winter in the future, your location ends up getting a record high snowfall total. On average, you're getting less, but the extremes on both sides also get more extreme. The winter I described very well might be sandwiched between winters where you received no frozen precipitation at all.
