I would add that Amazon is extremely innovative in ways to make warehouse employees more productive. They are physically limited in how any employees they can fit into a warehouse, and what geographic region those employees are hired from, so they have to make sure these employees are productive because they can't just hire twice as many to get through peaks if they aren't productive enough. At the same time, these employees are treated poorly and are peeing in bottles while standing at their station because Amazon didn't account for the physical need to urinate.

Facebook has none of these restrictions, and these employees don't even work for Amazon, and they are behaving the way you would expect a company to behave with these incentives.
Why would you use CDK with Terraform instead of CDK with CloudFormation? The latter seems like a more reasonable choice as it is native to AWS.
To be fair I haven't seriously touched java in about 4 years. I do remember Android studio explicitly warning users to avoid Open Jdk

My second point was a joke, still I wouldn't be the one to rock the boat. If anything is even slightly off after switching to open JDK you'd need to justify it
Bitcoin isn't the best store f value, it just has to be a orthogonal store of value to dollars, euros, yuan, stocks, etc, which share the same systemic risk. It's just the most liquid thing in that category (vs real estate, gold) and people are willing to mess around, because TINA.

> Two studies have found that at least 40 percent of police officer families experience domestic violence, in contrast to 10 percent of families in the general population. A third study of older and more experienced officers found a rate of 24 percent, indicating that domestic violence is two to four times more common among police families than American families in general.

Even someone on a child porn task force won’t be looking at these images in equivalent quantity, frequency, or duration of a content moderator. Many of the things this former content moderator is suggesting are already available to the groups you mention and many people, myself included, don’t think we take good enough care of those groups. It’s also important to mention that stopping child porn is a more important goal by any sane metric than removing child porn from a website so the website can make money tracking people for advertising dollars.

Coinbase is backed by respected investors, the founder is well known and they seem to be in for the long run.

Security wise, they have implemented many counter measures to prevent funds being stolen and so far i haven't heard of any breaches.

They can handle large sums of money with no issues.

So to sum up, they don't do sloppy work and the founder won't mysteriously disappear with the funds.

The B1 was a mess, and it got turned into a political football by Reagan. Carter canceled it for two reasons: first, the USSR upgraded the radars on their intercepters in a way that made the "nap of the earth" bombing mission suicidal, and second, he know about the B2 program. Reagan was briefed on the B2 and knew the B1 cancelation was the right decision, but decided to use it to portray himself as "tough" vs the USSR, making restarting the B1 program one of his big campaign promises.

Here's the AF's current thinking, all be it in a memo with let's say, unexpected formatting: https://www.af.mil/Portals/1/documents/2020SAF/There_Is_No_S...

Where is the public scrutiny of Biden’s diplomatic steps as we slide towards war, perhaps more than one? Trump at least had people’s undivided attention and a lot of checks and balances. Biden seems to have a blank check and a mindset based on the world 10 years ago. Accepting the limitations of old age seems especially hard for career politicians, but it has to impact performance. Imagine hiring an 80 year old CEO. It doesn’t happen for very good reasons.

I did psychedelics for many years and nearly every day for well over a year. In total I have had at least 500-600 experiences with various psychedelics, especially mushrooms, LSD, 5-MeO-MiPT, 5-MeO-DMT, 2C-I and 2C-P.

I was addicted in some sense definitely, though apparently most people don't feel that way. I had to do tons of cocaine to stop my heaviest phase of psychedelic use and since then I have only used them occasionally over the years.
No, but that's why it's an analogy (and a reasonable one) rather than an exact equivalence.
I believe Russia had signed a deal with China to trade in their own currencies, as Russia attempts to fully de-dollarize their economy and trade. This was done since 2015 when the initial sanctions where applied.

It's a case of empathy. Do you have enough empathy to check how your video looks and do simple changes?

This line of thinking leads to non-solutions. There are potentially many options beyond the dichotomy of crude AI automation and an army of human employees.

First, I think most of us would just like a relatively transparent method of escalating issues that will eventually get to a qualified human. Put some time delays and recaptchas to stop spammers from abusing it but if someone is willing to put in the time and effort to fight for a video, they should get a clear response as to why it was taken down and who made that determination.

Then there is the immense potential for crowdsourcing moderation. You can both get data by polling users (again with basic checks to prevent exploits) and promote certain users to a moderator role such that they can keep the community in which they participate reasonable. Especially for disinformation, how hard would it be to find volunteers to tell other people they're wrong on the internet?

And finally, if erroneous moderation has the potential to cause many problems, it is worth re-evaluating how much is actually necessary. For legal reasons there is some content that you really need an AI to quickly scan for, such as child porn, but in a lot of cases the harm in leaving up a video is insignificant.

There are a lot of sites on a similar scale to youtube that have substantially better (even if not necessarily perfect) content moderation despite working with substantially lower resources. If they can do it, so can Google.
And this is in fact the case for almost everyone who has a mortgage (i.e. most of the middle class).

Because these users are still anonymous to companies using Google services. Uniquely identifying users, and the liability for doing so, falls to intermediary services. I expect it will be the domain of data brokers like LiveRamp, Epsilon, and others.

"Use Google and be compliant" is a good sales tool and good value for companies that use Google services. Companies that don't want to sell data to brokers will stick with Google.

A problem is taking a company's entire Java codebase that's been running on Oracle JRE's, compiled with Oracle JDK's, written to work around Oracle bugs, for a decade, then trying to throw that on OpenJDK JRE's, compiled with OpenJDK JDK's. If it's a huge codebase then performance and runtime errors alone are concerning enough to stay frozen on 8 for as long as possible, without even considering code migration.

Regular borrowers income increase somewhat in line with inflation. Houses bought on interest payments that seemed difficult to manage become easy to manage within a few years.

I know a large number of people at the moment who have ended up with an impressive property portfolio without even trying all that hard. They bought early in their career, and the value of the property they bought inflated, their income inflated, and their debt didn't keep pace.

Krishnamacharya did not invent modern yoga out of whole cloth. Krishnamacharya and his disciples (ie, Jois) created the modern branch of Ashtanga Yoga, incorporating calisthenics and other physical movements within the preexisting framework of Asanas & Pranayama. Hatha Yoga, as represented here in the Yoga Pradeepika, is independent of Krishnamacharya & overwhelmingly more popular in India than Ashtanga.
> If government disappeared civilization would halt.

People who are confident in themselves and have the guts to go alone...they don't want any government protection, matter of fact they never asked for it and don't want to pay for it.

Government doesn't leave these people a choice to opt out of their protection, hence they start prosecuting them

> if the US and EU decided together to ban crypto

Coinbase has 50m users, and that's just one exchange. Nobody has the political goodwill to upset hundreds of millions of cryptocurrency investors who'd vote them out next time around. Maybe only China and Russia can. For sure not the US or the EU

> Is also missing the point because nobody wants hyper strong currency but a few people who misunderstand currency.

BTC success proves that the majority of the population wants that, it might be ignorant but in the end academic papers are not how decisions are made in megasocial groups such as nation states. The population comes up with an idea about how things should be run and dealt with, then people expresses such idea via voting with their wallet, voting with their feet, proper ballots, pressure on institutions etc.

Your beloved Fed is the most political agent out there, which was created to calm the population's worries and in response to people worries about inflation and unemployment. Sure enough it's mandate is super political and the answer to people's worries:

1) Price stability which is a way of saying keep inflation low. That's because the population was scarred by inflation in the past and wants institutions to protect against it.

2) Maximum employment: Is there anything more political than this? People were scarred by losing their jobs in the past and want institutions to protect against such thing.

People are realizing that the Fed is not doing the best job it can possibly do with #1, instead it is actively hoping for more inflation. So they are looking around to see if there's any concept which is dealing with their worries in a better way and they found crypto

> If there is an issue with the Central Banks then we should address it because we need 'good money' a lot more than we need to collectively imagine that 'special long numbers' have some kind of value.

That's not what you do. You don't fight, you leave and go where are you served better. People hate inflation and want deflation (regardless of the macroeconomics implications, that's what they want. Period), and sure enough they are voting with their wallets and abandoning the Fed which has a 2% inflation target towards BTC which has an inflation target heavily in the negative and a limited supply

The Russian economy crashed around as much as Iran's. But as it is Russia-US trade is basically zero.

Russia simply cannot be targeted by secondary sanctions though. It's just a much bigger economy that has a much bigger impact in worldwide trade. So the maximum possible extent before governments start clamping down on secondary sanctions is much lower.
To honest "Peloton"* seems a pretty poor solution to indoor cycling training when compared to smart trainers and smart bikes from the likes of Wahoo, Tacx and Wattbike.

All of those can be connected to simulators like Zwift or a host of others and provide way more training options than you can get on a high priced, proprietary "Peloton" spinning bike no real ergo features.

For example, if you want to ride in an actual indoor peloton simulation and make use of drafting for fun and profit, you want something like a Tacx Neo running Zwift ...IMHO.

If you ditch "Peloton" and go with what the pros train on you can use any smart watch you like.

* It's in quotes because peloton is a common word in wide usage in cycling and this company, "Peloton", has tried to trademark it. They've spent a not inconsiderable amount of time and money threatening bloggers using it in it's true meaning.
Only when done improperly. Yes, this is a common failure mode, no, it does not have to be that way.

Typically the reason is not that the heat affected metal will be come weaker, typically the reason is that the weld is thicker than the material right next to it creating a stress point in the structure. The hardening can be taken care of by annealing.

The best way to fix cars is to increase the length of the weld if you can, the original weld points are there for a balance between economy and strength. If you start welding in 'original new and interesting places' you need to plan how you want to achieve the required strength since economy is likely the least of your worries.

Every stretch limo is essentially a demonstration piece to show that this does not need to be a problem, and that you actually can re-inforce a body quite nicely. Keep in mind that the wheelbase of a stretch limo pretty much guarantees much higher forces on all of the welding in the body including the existing seams.

One signal you can use for selling is if your investment starts giving you sleepless nights. If the value is going down and you constantly think about it then its better to sell instead of letting it affect you mentally.
It's not a useful warning, though - what would someone do with that?

It's like saying "driving in a car is dangerous, and many people art hurt every year doing so." Okay, so what? Are you saying everyone should stop driving? It's just not useful - compare it to something like telling people to wear a seatbelt or pointing out that driving in particular conditions is especially dangerous. Those are things that we can use to drive more safely. Saying vaguely that driving can be dangerous doesn't serve any useful purpose.
