What's to say CIA and others aren't already operating all sorts of crypto infrastructure? I absolutely guarantee they are. The people who run the financial system are a different group and would not necessarily be aware of what the three-letter agencies are doing.
History has shown that when the potential rewards are large enough, the players will literally move jurisdictions to tap into the rewards. All that happens is forgone tax revenues for nations.

Because unless you have a one world government (hopefully, no one is a proponent of this), there will be at least some countries that will welcome you. And since the rewards will be large enough, market participants will even do illegal things to access it.

All it will eventually do is make your country less competitive until you have no recourse but to change the law. FOMO isn't just for people; it's for nations as well.

This is Amazon's playbook. Make a direct competitor and squeeze the originals out. They did that with jewelry early on and then anyone they couldn't buy out they would under cut until they capitulated like diapers.com The Everything Book by Brad Stone goes over this in detail. Clearly anti-competitive monopolistic actions are taken constantly by Amazon. The only reason they aren't trust busted is because the common line of reasoning is that consumers pay less for goods, but this is being looked at because shouldn't competition be lowering prices. IE if Amazon hadn't killed diapers.com, wouldn't diapers be cheaper overall? And the answer is they should be, but the government hasn't caught up. Once they start getting into the weeds, they'll see example after example of monopoly behavior destroying competitors and ultimately raising prices on consumers.

Have you considered that guy with $1M won't be willing to drop like $50k (2x your net worth) on a lawyer just to squash you?

He must have possibility to earn $100k in process to do that. Well unless you really pissed him off.

If you earn $25k a year and he spends $50k in one year to take your cake. Well unless he really is your competitor that can make use of your defeat he still needs 2 years to get even. Then it probably is not easy money because there is always a risk he will not win. Maybe he can find better ways to earn more money than squashing some $25k guys.

I have a relative who is a PhD chemist who I talked to about some of this stuff. He is generally skeptical of it because "the interesting chemicals are the ones that have extreme properties and predicting extreme properties is hard". It's a lot easier to model normal behavior than unusual behavior. He wasn't totally against the idea, he just thought it would be much harder than many people assume.

Zeno's Paradox is apparently not easy to state in terms that are accessible to a present-day lay person. The versions I usually see, and the only ones I understand, are the ones that depend on the implicit assumption that a finite quantity cannot be expressed as the sum of an infinite number of other finite quantities. The versions that are formulated to avoid that mistake are completely impenetrable to me, because they depend on Greek philosophical concepts that framed the terms of debate for Zeno and his contemporaries.

Anyway, the article's take is a bit of a cop-out:

> If the laws of physics say that we can cover one meter in a certain time period, then that’s exactly what we’ll do. And our current understanding of the laws of physics says precisely that. So Zeno’s paradox is resolved simply by saying that we can cover this space in this amount of time.

Zeno accepted that we observe objects moving through space. He would not have to change his position an inch to accept classical physics as a valid and successful description of such observations. The paradox comes from accepting such observations and trying to reconcile them with the logical soundness of Zeno's argument. So, if you aren't looking at the logical structure of his argument, you aren't addressing the paradox at all.

You can relax a bit. Because what you're missing is that 75% of people just don't even think of being careful like this and are fine with frequently coming across poorly to other people. You're just introspecting more and being polite, as I think is usually better and respectful.
Maybe because of the punitive philosophy of the American justice system, combined with a sense of economical expedience.

Scenario A: Intervene on the basis of an online threat. If he gets punished at all, it will probably be very light. Not punitive enough.

Scenario B: Monitor the situation until he starts independently taking concrete action, then intervene. Solid case for full sentence.

Scenario C: Speed Scenario B along with a "helping hand".

who said anything about Epstein?

I believe Epstein did it, Stallam believes Epstein did it too (he wrote it in the thread), there's no doubt about it.

Another thing entirely is the other accusations, we can't assume that every accusation is true until proven otherwise by a court of the law (except for Minsky who's dead).

That's why I support Stallman reasoning, a chain of criminal events can't be assumed on someone's saying, it must be proven or we go back to inquisition, especially if one of the accused is dead, can't defend himslef and it's the smallest fish in the pond.

I get these are all powerful men and have the means to protect themselves, but they have the right to be presumed innocent nonetheless.

Having followed the case myself, I wonder why nobody is talking about Wexner, former CEO of the Victoria's secret empire that was built thanks to the close friendhsip with Epstein and who's still on an honorary president's chair.

> L Brands executives were reportedly made aware, in the mid-1990s, that Epstein was posing as a modeling recruiter for the company. Although they alerted Wexner, he seems to have taken no action

An why Boies talked to Wexner (they now say it was his lawyer) and forced the judge to remove him and after the court removed Boies and his team Giuffre hired his opponent in the gay marriage trial that made Boies popular?

> Boies and his entire team from Boies Schiller Flexner were removed from the New York case in October after judge Loretta Preska determined that he had become a witness in the suit and, as such, could no longer advocate on Giuffre’s behalf.

> Charles J. Cooper replaced David Boies, his opponent in a California gay marriage case argued before the Supreme Court, as a lawyer for Virginia Roberts Giuffre in her federal defamation lawsuit against Dershowitz.

The case is now an O.J. Simpson scale event, I think we will know more only after the next hearings.

I am simply being cautious, I am not dismissing Giuffre, in my opinion things are too complicated to throw judgements around, one way or the other (except, as we have established, for Epstein).

I also don't believe Wexner can be the only Epstein's client.

If we look at the case in its entirety, what Stallman did or didn't do it's meaningless.

As I said, it's a tactic to change the subject. Instead of focusing on actions with bad faith, change the subject by saying they have a lot of money so Amazon is allowed to be competitive and fork the code.

> AWS is just offering customers what they want.

No. it's not AWS improving some services. It's about a multi-billion dollar company launching a campaign against OSS. They did it with MongoDB and it continues. Some see these actions as justifiable. Because OSS should be MIT and maintainers should live with donations. Others, however, disagree. It can be OSS and profitable (without Amazon actions).

It's also not a stretch to lump guns in with right-wing and for that matter, urban with left and rural with right. But this stuff is insane. It's self-fulfilling.

Environmentalism has been associated with the Left for the same reason as other nonsense here. There are both left and right reasons for environmentalism and both left and right pressures for things that harm the environment. But our simplistic political models have led to tribalism where groups of ideas get associated with one or the other of this one-dimensional polar left-right idea. So, bring up environmentalism in any "right" wing community and it doesn't matter if everything said is right-wing enough, people will suspect the environmentalist of really being some left-wing person.

> I honestly think part of the reason they are not adopted as much is people can't understand them and don't trust them because of their ignorance.

I think there’s genuine reason right now.

For existing houses it only makes sense if you have really good insulation which rules a lot of people out. That’s why they’re only being focused on new builds, so they can guarantee the insolation is adequate.

They’re expensive (for existing housing) and the returns aren’t quite there yet. Parts and expertise are also quite limited compared to boilers (the market isn’t really there yet).

It also depends what climate you live in for how useful they will be
Sorry, $200k isn't enough. You won't get the house. I know because I've applied. No landlord is renting out homes to single income in the peninsula at $200k/yr. $400k at FAANG - yes (they're all afraid of people losing their jobs at startups and lots of FAANG out there to rent them homes up). But, again, we're talking about "very comfortable" - not comfortable. Not okay. Not "I managed". Very comfortable - something people actually want, not just live with.

And I don't put renting in the "very comfortable" category. Nor do I put "reliable" cars or domestic vacations. Safe neighborhood? It's expensive - $2m expensive.

Do you have any real insight to the CURRENT housing market in the SF Bay Area? Housing is the big cost. It's more expensive to have a garage for a Porsche than the Porsche itself. I can literally go out tomorrow and buy a 911 but CANNOT afford to put it in a garage. That's how fucking ridiculous it is.

Hyperspectral imaging.

It reminds me of a Star Trek tricorder. Imagine having a camera where you can see easily ID greenhouse gases, quantify water/fat content in food, identify plant diseases, verify drug components, identify tumours, and measure blood oxygenation. On the machine vision side of things: it could probably outperform any conventional imaging + DNN combination, and you'd probably get pixel-wise segmentation for free while you're there.

There's been a lot of academic progress going on - it shouldn't be long until hyperspectral imaging makes its way into our lives.

The Fall of the Symbian OS: A Case Study (2014)
There is a semantic difference, in the context of handling NULLs: EXISTS only checks the size of the result set, so even a subquery that returns (NULL, NULL, NULL) will satisfy the EXISTS condition. IN, on the other hand, performs data equality checks on the results, so NULL rows will never yield a positive match.

Usually, this doesn't make a difference as an EXISTS check is mostly used on the primary key (or business key) of a table, which is (hopefully) non-nullable. But it can sometimes give surprising results when using EXISTS on a nullable column, or for worse results, NOT IN.

And so what? That's how a functioning society should work. I would much rather have 90k€ after health care taxes than 18k€; the higher earner is still coming out far ahead.

It's not like the private insurance system is "equitable" either. I am very healthy and hardly ever need to see a doctor, but my insurance comes in at around $650/mo (mostly paid by my employer, but the money still has to come from somewhere). I definitely do not incur anywhere near $650/mo in health care costs of my own; I'm paying for care for people much sicker than I am, who incur health care costs higher than what they pay into insurance.

> We crawl this document as an AST, and actually transform it into four formats...The key to getting sensible output is really just having total control of the input format. It's still hard work, but when you can encode the intent of each example into a custom input format, converting that to another format turns out so much better than trying to write something that can convert arbitrary jQuery to React or something.

One tends to think of parsing/compiling as a fairly esoteric skillset that a relatively small number of programmers ever actually need at their jobs, but it always makes me glad to see examples like this where a little DSL was a genuine boon to productivity in a real product. Once you know how to do it, you start to notice more and more little opportunities where it could be useful.
> Why not just charge him for making a threat to begin with?

Most likely because what he said isn't actually criminal, or it would be difficult to convict. In the US generally threats have to be specific and reasonable (I'm assuming the relevant crime would be making terroristic threats). A reasonable person needs to conclude that the statement they made was a threat, and that the threat is credible. The actual post he made (from the article):

The posts from "Dionysus" that sparked concern spoke of his desire to "conduct a little experiment," which he said would be dangerous and "draw a lot of heat" and could be "dangerous". Asked by another user what the result would be, he responded, "death", according to the court documents.

I'm not an expert, but that doesn't strike me as being specific or reasonable. Especially when you consider he was saying this on a militia website, and not saying it to Amazon or an Amazon employee.
