Is this some kind of a bad joke? Because some countries have BIPOC if they want nukes to not hinder their empowerment nobody should intervene.
If all the countries in MENA have nukes, this would be terrible for everybody, it would exponentially rise the risk of nuclear warheads being used.
> landlords also hold little risk

Landlords hold all the risk. There's risk of devaluation, risk of renters destroying property, risk of unexpectedly high maintenance costs, risk of insurance/taxes going up more than planned. If anything bad happens to the property, the renter can just walk away, the owner is stuck with it.

I'm not a landlord, sometimes look into it but every time conclude that the risks are far too high for what minimal profit it might bring. So I stick to index funds.

"There's no indication that Iran is any less deterrable than every other nuclear power."

Iran is an extremist theocratic dictatorship with a history of violence and threats.

There's very little rational concern about the U.S. or the U.K or China using nuclear weapons against Iran. If nothing else, they've had decades to do so and have chosen not to.

There is completely valid concern that Iran might use nuclear weapons against Israel or the U.S, in some future circumstance.

At the very least, Iran might hold Israel hostage by threatening to use nuclear weapons.

Dismissing this as an extremist, imperialist, or Zionist viewpoint just doesn't cut it. This would be a very reasonable viewpoint of for any rational disinterested observer.

"We didn't start WWIII when Kruschev banged his shoe at the UN like a maniac"

The U.S. had tons of evidence and intelligence that proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the USSR had zero interest in a full scale nuclear exchange. In fact, the U.S. employed the "Mad Man" strategy throughout the Cold War, which meant it was generally more belligerent about threatening nuclear war.
Woah so MobileCoin implements everything Monero has but with the Stellar/Ripple consensus model and uses intel SGX coprocessor?

That’s kind of interesting, cheap fast transactions, not proof of work, and only the validators have the SGX burden (Secret network does something like this with SGX for private-ish smart contract execution)

So we dont like the premine and the forced integration and pump, which is meh to me, everything is premined these days I cant care much about that.

I’m actually surprised it has some cool technology involved, most “privacy” coins dont pass the smell test and with a name like MobileCoin I just assumed the worst, but I still have to laugh that the purchasers had to do KYC then.

Oh crypto.

Its pretty clear that they omit some information to give people less to disagree with. They pump it and sell, thats going to happen. I don’t care much about that either, speculators are going to get sold into, that’s not even controversial.

The Signal forced integration is grimy.

I still wish there was a stable privacy coin. USDC and DAI on Tornado.cash is okay, but too few inputs to mix with. Mobilecoin doesnt solve that, just another volatile asset.
you can use more than one nuke. also, a Hiroshima-level blast on Tel Aviv would be pretty catastrophic even if it doesn't obliterate everything.

hydrogen bombs are where things really get scarier though.
I have your exact same reaction to a few posts. Happy to help.
"Economy is on the cusp of a major boom and economists believe it could last"

If that's what economists believe, then we're all doomed.

Stock Market 1929, Yale economist Irving Fisher declared that "stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau." The markets experienced a major crash not long after.

In the late 70's we had the "death of equities", and "only old people were buying them". It turns out that the old people weren't as dumb as others thought, as stock markets subsequently went on to have one of the greatest bull markets in history.

Late 90's, IIRC Greenspan stated that we were in a Goldilocks economy. Starting 2000, stock markets dived.

2007, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer in the UK said the economy was in great shape. Shortly before the banking crisis.

Again and again, economists have proven that they are no better at predicting the economy than you or I.

Greenspan once boasted that his job was difficult that being a quantuum physicist was probably easier.

The sheer conceit of the man! All those PhDs, all those smarts and hard work, so much hubris, yet all of it is complete nonsense.

As far as I'm concerned, the only use of economists is as a contrary indicator.

"The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design" -- Friedrich Hayek
"they wouldn't have simply walked away from the deal regulating it."

The deal did not 'regulate' Iran - is the argument being made.

Many people feel that the oversight requirements were not stringent enough, and that Iran would effectively pursue nukes along with economic liberalism.

The Kalashnikov looks low tech because it was designed to be cheap to manufacture but I'd argue the AK is one of the technical milestones in the 20th century on par with the assembly line (as horrible as the effects have been). It's carefully designed to operate reliably despite crappy manufacturing and ammunition tolerances after taking a beating in the field, made using whatever crappy metal is available for the receiver and barrel.
I think it is hard to say that it is entirely anti-semitism and unrelated to what happened in Mandatory Palestine.
> was supposed to be fully replaced by online ratings & reviews?

I mean, it has though.

When I want to buy something new, I find Amazon reviews to be far more helpful than anything else that has ever existed. Obviously you can't only look at ratings or only read the first review, but it's pretty easy to find the signal amid the noise.

Similarly, TripAdvisor has given me far better recommendations of sights to see while traveling when compared to Lonely Planet. Yelp is eons better for finding great restaurants than Zagat ever was. And so on.

I don't understand how you think these systems are "doomed to fail" when they already exist, are used by hundreds of millions of people, and are better than what they replaced?

This is a hilarious position to take. Israel should relax because losing 5% of its population (and another 5% due to later side effects), which includes most of its export and good portions of its youth, technically wouldn't destroy every part of the country.

If the job market is more saturated, there’s simply fewer people available to do bullshit work, at the necessary bullshit cost. Resources would be naturally allocated to more valuable efforts, and lured by better wages, by the market. As a general rule, the richer the country, the more expensive humans are, and the commodities become cheaper (relative to income)

That's a bit flippant. Of course every culture has a prevailing moral code, but blasphemy was a tool developed to prevent the rise of religious institutions that threatened the power of the Catholic church with, among other things, brutal capital punishment. After a few hundred years this basis was no longer relevant, and by the 1900s it was just used to occasionally pearl clutch in the public eye, long after the (new) church genuinely felt threatened.

However ham-fisted this new law is, attempts to prevent:

> prejudice on the basis of age, disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity or variations in sex characteristics (sometimes described as "intersex" physical or biological characteristics).

I would do this if the company provided the hardware and I only had to use the device to do work things during work hours. (As other pointed out Google does in fact provide hardware to employees needing this capability.)

Mandating use on personal hardware is a different story.

One reason I like efforts like this is because they say to an underrepresented group "this is for also for you", when otherwise the implicit message often is that it's not.

That's not the only reason, but (based on frequent comments on this topic) it's a reason that should be articulated, because it isn't necessarily obvious to someone who wasn't told -- so many times, in so many ways -- "this isn't for you".

If this feature is to stay relevant, it has to be integrated within Signal. Otherwise competitors (who do integrate a payment feature) will just have a better UX.

The choice was basically:

1. have the feature within Signal

2. have no user

They chose 1.

You may have misunderstood what they're saying. The full sentence from which you quoted:

> It currently requires a wire transfer for people in the UK to get funds in and out of cryptocurrency exchanges that support MobileCoin, which costs money.

They're saying that you need a wire transfer to buy and sell MobileCoin using the currently-available exchanges. Once you possess MobileCoin, you can then send or receive it using the app without further wire transfers unless you choose to cash out. A wire transfer isn't necessary for a transaction in Signal.

Zero experiments have been done on long-term effects, and you cannot, and no one can, counter this point.

That's the definition of "rushed".

Vaccines typically take several years of testing before being approved. These aren't approved according to those standards. Manufacturers are absolved from risks because of this "emergency use" status. Why absolve them if there are no risks? If they truly believed these were safe and of tremendously important benefit, they could stand up and say "we accept responsibility for negative outcomes in accordance with ordinarily approved medication, and waive our rights to emergency use protections". Then everyone would rush to take them as doubts would be broadly eliminated.
Almost all programs lack the proper positioning to follow a young person through the years.

We don't expect a summer math program to make math work for kids. At best it "stimulates" in the same way a summer-long Raspberry Pi electronics project does, but it builds no foundations. The education market has way too many of these motivational products and not enough investment in foundations.

But any program that focuses on foundations is over a year from application, and that implies that you have enough credibility to go for over a year without stakeholders demanding very concrete results. I suspect that what many people in this forum want are classes which provides a substantial accumulation of foundations over the years.

Somehow I think starting an almost unwinnable war that'll probably lead to hundreds of thousands if not millions of deaths isn't going to improve Israels security situation.

Well that seems unnecessarily specific.

Rather than whittling down subgroup after subgroup, why not try to help out the underexposed in general?

The differences between what the sexes are interested in is distinct enough that figuring out how to get girls interested and prevent them from being discouraged needs to be considered.

However, I don't belief the racial differences are enough to justify efforts to encourage black people specifically - there's use in shared culture from an outreach perspective, but here I think that the most ground can be gained from efforts to engage with marginalised children in general; regardless of race.

I just don't think that focusing on intersections of the disadvantaged yields useful results.
For example, efforts to help blind kids learn to code could be very useful - but a specific effort to help only blind black females with gimpy legs would be a waste of time and resources (and good luck finding teachers at all, let alone any that meet your increasingly exclusionary criteria).
But then again the Russians themselves famously placed very difficult to detect bugs in the mechanical typewriters of the American embassy.
Very cool! Seems like a great way to scale up deployment of inference models. I wonder if this means that they will extend V8 to allow Tensorflow JS to run on a CUDA backend rather than WebGL?

>one negative consequence of billionaires is entire otherwise unproductive economic sectors that exist for no reason other than their vanity

This isn't just relegated to billionaires. Depending on how you define "consumption", up to 70% of the U.S. economy is consumer driven. Now I wouldn't call all this "unproductive" but it's probably selectively unfair to claim only the uber-rich are spending money on items they don't need.
I've taught at an all girls event; being one myself, it was really enjoyable and we had a bunch of guys from the local python users group to lend a hand, they loved it too. It was wildly successful, leading to every single one of them to have a better understanding than they did before: that's a good metric. Perhaps the class was badly organized, there are are some good ones out there to copy from.

It's wasted effort if it never gets used, but it may be a valuable learning experience for whoever made it.

It can become debt (or a liability in a more general sense) when you realize, a year or two later, that it's what you need but it's no longer compatible with the base system. So now it has to be cleaned up to be reintegrated properly, is it worth the trouble of the fix or should it be scrapped and restarted?

Or, worse, if it is in the system but disabled by something like a feature flag, it helps to ossify the underlying system because you now have something which depends on capabilities you want to change, but can't because it's in the system.

In a statically typed language this means care is taken with your core system to protect a feature that's not in use, but prevents compilation if you change its dependencies. And then you have to determine if the dependency change should be kept or not, if the unused feature should be kept or not, and if kept how to update it to use the changed dependency.

In many dynamically typed and interpreted language this means your core system is not stuck, but when you finally flip that feature flag on you'll realize you pulled the rug out from under yourself. Unless your tests are sufficiently comprehensive to trigger the error after a breaking change in the dependencies.
Of course it's opt in, it'd be patently absurd for it not to be. Nobody would use a chat app where some kind of weird crypto payments were mandatory. Advertising its opt-in nature as a feature is like advertising your cereal as asbestos free.
