Not issue bonds at all. The only response that could have made a meaningful difference to climate change in a meaningful timeframe was curtailing consumption of fossil fuels and other sources of emissions.

That would necessarily curtail consumption, and hence run counter to all the economic growth assumptions that governments have used to make various promises about expectations of future quality of life.

Bottom line is it’s politically impossible to address climate change. The solution would have been to tax fossil fuels sufficiently so that it would reduce emissions to whatever levels we could have afforded, but that would have caused a lot of pain in the short term with people having to give up a lot of niceties of modern life.
>Same goes for the country's biggest online retailers, both Amazon and Flipkart also switched to a replacement-only policy in India.

On Amazon India you can still get refund based on your history with them.

Basically trusted customers still get the "refund" option in their account. Just new customers and the suspecious one aren't given that often by default

I'll give you an example, which is also a true story: I bought a 4K TV that could also run Android apps. But, while regular TV broadcasts displayed in 4K, the Android apps were limited to HD. This, of course were never mentioned in any of their marketing material. Did return, and did get a refund, but if it had worked as I thought it did, I would have kept it.

> i'd be surprised if fitness+ really takes off. it has narrow appeal, a relatively high price, and little cachet or differentiation.

Fitness+ comes with one of the tiers of Apple One. That makes it "free" to the user. Let's say you only wanted Music, TV+, and the storage (especially useful if you have multiple iDevices in your family and you want cloud backup):

Music - $9.99 individual, or $14.99 family

TV+ - $4.99 (already at $20 for a family here)

2TB Storage - $9.99 (now we're at $30)

So Fitness+, News+, and Arcade are "free" additions if you get Apple One Premier. Of course, you need an Apple Watch to use Fitness+ but you can use it with any garage sale treadmill, bike, rowing machine, yoga mat, dumbbell set, etc.

And if you have the Apple Watch you've already been able to drop things like Runkeeper and Strava for tracking running and cycling.

I think wxWidgets is fantastic. I use it in my CMake project. I have a git submodule with the wxWidgets source. I just set the options I want and add_subdirectory(). I statically link it it into my binary for easy distribution, because the license is more permissive than LGPL in that regard. Thanks to the wxWidgets collaborators for all their hard work!

I got one of those lights as well. The lighting in my office is pretty good and I could probably use one of my dual monitors as effectively a lightbox if I had to. But the Key Light makes it really easy to adjust frontal lighting so it's balanced with my track lights and natural light coming into the room. (Both of which I tend to ratchet down when I'm doing video for more even lighting.)
> An amazon worker makes, on average, $15 per hour. That's $31,500 per year. That is just a bit above poverty - the poverty level for a family of 4 is $26,500.

This is also pretty much at the poverty line if relative poverty is calculated like in most other OECD countries - as 60% of median income. That would be about $3100/month for two adults.
I disagree with this. The people we elect to govern have to be able to govern. But, they maybe don't need to have any business holdings / stock while they're in office.
I think it’s Google’s responsibility to make it clear, though, either by putting in the theoretical work to apply differential privacy or proposing a refinement of the concept that allows them to. It’s like those people who propose grand new theories of physics without using any math; if you can’t connect your ideas to what’s come before, people will be rightfully suspicious whether they’re built on quicksand.

It doesn't seem that weird to me. The line is active so you pay. If you don't want to pay don't pick up the phone.
Personally a fan of the Fire Emblem series (on various Nintendo platforms). It's lasted since the early 1990's, so there's a variety of consoles you can choose to jump in.

Three Houses (the newest) is probably the most strategically complex one if you're into the gameplay, but I've been a long-time fan of the series for the characters and surprisingly deep story turns before the gameplay. For an incredibly rich story/cast, I'd try Path of Radiance & Radiant Dawn as a duology - my favorite.

Vaccine Refusal Will Come at a Cost–For All of Us
I'm not very fond of the tiered plans as you describe them. They are like the child of the unholy union between fast-food and gym marketing tricks: Would you like us to oversize your subscription from 15 to 40 articles for only $3? Wouldn't it be a huge inconvenience to pay us every month? Why don't you set up a recurring fee instead? But of course you will be reading 40 articles per month for the foreseeable future!

That's a fair point. And I definitely favor a real micropayments option in the long-run. But I could settle for a tiered plan in some cases as an interim step, especially if the only other option is the "unlimited plan" which just doesn't (in most cases) make sense for my usage patterns.
Fossil has rebasing? I thought they felt strongly against rewriting history, which is the biggest reason I am not considering it.
Great. Now you just need the majority of elected officials to get behind the bill.

Note that the house majority leader is also one of the biggest winner of these rules not existing.
What do you mean? People who don't earn enough to have to pay taxes certainly don't lose the right to vote for that reason in any democracy I know of today.

And many people pay taxes who don't have the right to vote.

Voting power is only loosely correlated with the amount of taxes paid.

Paying taxes is important but is orthogonal with the right to vote.
I'm not sure I completely get what you're after.

So let's say a concept of SQL was "built-in," the language now understands the syntax: So what? Without access to the underlying data the SQL is about it is just as meaningless as a raw string (i.e. you cannot know if a query is valid without the underlying data to validate it against).

If your language now needs a persistent connection to some underlying SQL data-source (with all the problems that entails) building it into the language is barely better than just executing SQL during your tests.

So I'm not really sure what you want to accomplish or what value you believe this would add.

How hard it is to connect even the first generation bike to a watch or heart rate monitor is ridiculous to the point that I’ve never figured it out. It seems confirmed impossible with an Apple Watch; supposedly it’s possible with other brands but was prohibitively difficult with my Garmin.

Agree that this is short sighted and a game they can’t win. My watch works perfectly fine for me without being connected to the bike; they lose for not ingesting my heart rate data.

There's not really a relation between the two.
A lot of systems have taxes and no vote (see medieval European society for example).

And in a lot of current countries, your vote is not linked to you paying taxes : for example in some countries very poor (and it's somewhat true of very rich as well) people pay little to no taxes, while sometimes getting a non negligible amount of money from the government, amounting to the opposite of paying taxes in a way. They still get a vote, exactly as valuable as one from someone paying a lot of taxes.

>Cocaine, Heroin, Meth, and Fentanyl should never be legal. They are too addicting.

I know 10X as many people who threw away their lives working minimum wage and minimum responsibility jobs just so that they can afford enough marijuana to make themselves happy with living without ambition.

Not that I think marijuana should be illegal but if we are going to legalize one we should be consistent and legalize everything.
If this starts making a stink, they're going to create the ability to not report your stock purchases.
Do I create value when I loan another person some asset? What about when I act as a currency exchange, and offer at any moment in time to take either side of any trade along with a 0.3% fee?

These are two things I do on Ethereum right now which have analogs in the traditional finance system. Seems to me it matters little whether the activity is done in a traditional space or in cryptoland: they either both create value or neither creates value.
Micropayments have a 50 year history of consistently and precisely perfectly failing to work.

>> Democracy is the principle of equal representation, one vote per person. Money is not equally distributed. Voting with money is inherently not democratic. Therefore, I would agree with ouid that "democratization" and "paying for X" are entirely separate things.

> Oxford Dictionary has a second definition of "democratize" as "make (something) accessible to everyone", which is the sense in which this word is being used.

But if someone has to pay for X, then you're only making it accessible to everyone with the money to pay for it, which is not everyone.

I'm open to doing it again, but I have no particular urge to do so. I'm torn between taking it for fun (but unhappy about the lack of depth) or for reflection (which is hard to plan for and exhausting).

One of those pointless little distinctions that English language makes but many other European languages don't.

Another example is "velocity" vs "speed"—what other vector quantity has two distinct names, one for the vector, another for the vector's magnitude? The acceleration doesn't, for example; and distance and displacement are two slightly different concepts that deserve two distinct names.

I don't know if specific trades are sketchy or legit, but I do think there should be some sort of log of net worth when you join congress, senate, houses of parliament etc and politicians be expected to explain any large gains over their time in office.
Differential privacy is useful for training or updating a public model where individuals' features should be kept private.

In floc's case the model is public but isn't being trained on individual's features in realtime, only used for inference as far as the proposal says, e.g. the proof of concept stage will develop a fixed model that all browser instances (of a given vendor) share. Individuals' features are kept private to the extent that the model output can't be effectively reverse-engineered.

Differential privacy probably also won't be useful in the POC stage because the training will require accurate labels which defeats privacy.
The booming, echoy audio you get in most zoom calls from people sitting 4 feet from their microphone is a little aggravating. If you'd like to help your colleagues hear you better and want something subtler than a large microphone on a big boom arm then go for a lavalier microphone. See https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ME4--sennheiser-me-4... for one example, but even a $10 microphone from Microcenter, Amazon or Ali{baba,express} will do. What do you don't want is a microphone hanging off earphone adapters because you end up having to eat those to be heard. A lav mic in Zoom with both auto level adjustment and background noise suppression enabled gives a pretty pleasant experience.

If you don't have a dedicated microphone port then you may have to purchase an adapter because some input ports are wired tip ring ring sleeve (TRRS) and a microphone will just be tip ring sleeve (TRS).
> No really, how can we force congress to change the rules so that elected officials can't profit from inside information? Why would they ever vote for such a bill?

The recent Black Lives Matter protests have taken a far more aggressive turn against systemic issues. Systemic issues such as the economy, the stock market, policing as a whole, and capitalism in its essence. Donating to bail-out funds, joining the protests, increasing awareness in the problems our economic system has created for us without proper good-faith regulations is all helpful.

You can't reform corruption to this level. You need to cut it out and start over.
I’d love to believe this, but dev and IT people are not paid exceptionally well in most of the world. That says to me that the high salaries are a consequence of social structures and the current economy, not that the skills are super valuable. It’s proximity to money that actually matters.
> Argentina, Venezuela and Zimbabwe are basically nations that destroyed themselves through bad political reforms. If there had been a way to prevent those reforms you could have prevented millions of people from slipping into poverty and needing micro interventions.

Now imagine if the people championing those bad reforms had simply stayed out of politics? The more powerful a tool is, the more cautiously it should be wielded.
What is the greatest value/contribution in tools of this type?
Yes, but in this case 3 months had passed.
New Google accounts start off with little trust. New apps start off with little trust. Established apps should have good trust along with Playstore verified developers. Android is destroying a lot of great file manager apps with the new scoped storage. These are great apps that have been in the store for 5 years plus. Surely these can be trusted.

Of course, there'll be ways around this but it would stop a lot of dodgy apps. Of course, this is a lot harder as it sounds as you'd need all Android apps that want access to sensitive APIs to interact with the Playstore API. But it's better than Android just imposing systemwide security changes that break a load of apps.
Welding is probably bit multi-modal. Traditional stuff isn't likely going away, but already there is already advanced robots for the job. Though it's unlikely they will be entirely AI controlled.

q4 2020 and q1 2021 were anomalies. The government put $900B in stimulus money into individuals pockets. There is probably no single company that got more benefit from those payments than Coinbase. The fear of inflation from unfettered spending drove investors into crypto with the idea that it was a hedge against inflation. I don't buy that value proposition for crypto but it did drive prices higher. The stimulus also put money directly into individuals pockets many of whom were hoping to cash in on the boom.

Coinbase did $1.28B revenue in 2020 with something like half of it coming in q4. This was before Venmo, Cashapp, Paypal, etc. started selling crypto. The cost for customer acquisition is about to skyrocket at the same time fees are about to plummet.

There's a reason Coinbase is rushing to DPO right now. The stars are perfectly aligned for them to get out while the getting is good.

Not really sure how you can call it underpopulation. Was underpopulation also a problem in the preceding 30,000 years or so of human civilization in Europe leading up to today, when the population has always been always smaller?

The population in Europe is larger than it has ever been in any point in history.

Those are different things. Taking advantage of a return "for any reason" policy is fine. Stealing money by lying about your identity is not okay.
Yep. There is always plans to shut the whole thing down eventually, for console stores (the exception maybe being Microsoft?)

But you have to do it in phases to manage the negative feedback. If someone purchases a game on Day 1, you definitely don't want to kill download access on Day 2. So the only way to cleanly phase out is to first shut down any new purchases. Then you have a ~4-5 year window for people to play those games and hopefully give an upper bound for when they won't care about them anymore.

Dec 22 democrats had reached an agreement to provide $600 in stimulus, this was an agreement that had buy in and should have been pushed forward.

Dec 23 Trump announced support for a $2000 stimulus, changing the political calculus, in favor of democrats, who did eventually push through the remaining $1400 in a separate package.

Pelosi's strategic change is not a change that happened in a vacuum. Trump's announcement was all over the news and was the single most important event in the political world that day, not Pelosi's husband buying calls. Contextualizing this event around Pelosi's husband is misleading.

Ok downvote my comment all you want but this is well documented and was less than 6 months ago, and frankly it's surprising that people forgot how impactful this event was. People are still criticizing Biden over the additional check being 1400 instead of 2000.
