> and it was just so great.

I'm delighted to hear that it went so well, and I am a believer in the idea. I have seen, from time to time, oral thesis defenses become rather tense and difficult, and think that things go better in proportion to the preparation of both student and examiner. Any general observations about what worked, for those contemplating giving exams in this fashion?
We don't need to pick apart the study, but let's skim it so we know if it applies.

This system considers foods “ultra-processed” if they have ingredients predominantly found in industrial food manufacturing, such as hydrogenated oils, high-fructose corn syrup, flavoring agents, and emulsifiers.

I believe the study, even though small, reasonably shows that ingredients like hydrogenated oils or high-fructose corn syrup are bad for you.

That doesn't mean food that has gone through a process is bad, it means industrial scale food production often uses foul ingredients to reduce costs.

Processing != bad, But, mass market, massive scale, processed food production correlates with the use of bad ingredients. So just read the ingredient list on Beyond Meat or whatever processed food you want to try and see if there is stuff in it you don't want in you.
As someone who writes software, the fact that it must be a bug is scant consolation when it crashes. It just means that you have no hope to prevent it by reflex, you had to fix it by thinking intentionally and carefully a long time ago when you wrote the software.
Orals have a lot of advantages, but they also make it very easy for unconscious bias to come into play, in that all the criteria for grading are soft.
> arguments that are amenable even to people who disagree on the fundamentals

Now I'm not sure what you think fundamental, but I am pretty sure that "murder" is a something the other side understands.

The irony in this is iron clad. It is also hyperbole, because this is an internet comment, not a political debate.
It's already been three years? Feels like a few months ago. Wow.

Still can't believe we've got proof of Marsquakes - that alone turned the consensus on planetary geology upside down.
The government wants to incentivize investment because it causes the economy to grow. More investment = faster growth = everyone better off in the long run.
> And usually I can spot good quality of a person by a few minutes of listening just to find out later that I was correct. It has happened many times already to be sure about it.

How do you know it's "correct"? Another hypothesis that fits is that you don't change your opinion when you get more information, you stick with your first instinct. Do others ever disagree with your assessments? What makes you right and them wrong?
The article says that you have to register the palm print vs a credit card. A common-sense approach would suggest that if you cancel the credit card, then registration also lapses.

If you happen to have attracted the attention of this master counterfeiter who has duplicated your palm you would simply have the option of not registering your new card with the system.

If this happens on a large scale, yes, the whole project is doomed.
I don't really see how it's fair to tax investment returns at all. When you invest money in something you are taking a risk that you will lose that investment. It's not like the government steps in to make you whole when you lose money, so how is it fair that they get to go through your pockets if you make money?

Granted probably much income that counts as 'capital gains' right now should be classified as regular income and taxed as such.
Speaker Deck Story
The concern has always been that COVID-19 hospitalizations would overwhelm our healthcare capacity, resulting in excess deaths due to lack of care. That is because the disease spreads so easily and because it results in a high rate of hospitalizations (high enough to threaten healthcare capacity).

"What are we doing?! This is not an existential threat!"

We were saving lives by moderating the spread of this disease so it did not overwhelm our healthcare capacity. For the most part it worked.
Society won't improve if the financial system is fundamentally broken, and the people running it are explicitly against fixing it. Don't let these circus shows let you believe otherwise.
Right but they're only taxed once (either you don't pay income tax going in or you have a Roth account and you don't pay it going out). Either way, ignoring the fact that you might change tax brackets, it's as if you took the money post tax, invested it, and then didn't have to pay any capital gains on it.
This is correct. It used to redirect to Google.

Serious response to your non-serious question:

There are numerous reports of people being locked out of their biometric accounts after an injury. If you burn yourself cooking and have a blister on your hand you may not be able to go buy first aid supplies at Whole Foods afterward. Alternatives are required.
Downvotes here are reflexive. Nobody is actually reading or thinking about the fact that inflation + unindexed cap gains is just a wealth tax.
EDN is not new. Just not familiar to enough people. It’s incredibly powerful and ticks all the right boxes.
The idea itself is not goofy?
Taxing unrealized gains doesn’t make any sense. Many people would end up forced to sell part of their equity to afford paying tax on the gains.
> Who appointed you moral judge of others?

Well, they got appointed the judge of others when they were put in charge of figuring out if it would be a good idea to hire someone for the company.

Having moral red flags is a perfectly valid thing for a company to be concerned about. Immoral employees are at risk of doing bad things, and can hurt the company.

> based on their moral views unrelated to their work

It is pretty related to the work though. It is directly about the moral decisions that they made, while at work. Specifically it would be for working for that company that is doing immoral things.
Lol thanks, came here to ask exactly this.
I was thinking the same thing. It's really unclear if the photos are their own product or just supposed to represent good salmon in general.
That doesn't make sense. Those are taxes with different bases. It would make sense to talk that way about corporate profit tax and corporate dividend tax for example.
This isn't really an answer, you are basically throwing out usability for an appreciable fractions of users & devices.
Yes, you could, and you could do better with more moving parts and more stages, but they're optimizing for reliability not for power.

In theory, the best you could do is (T_hot - T_cold) / T_hot, or (430 - 210) / 430 ~= 50% , using some approximate values for fin root temperature and Martian climate. To exceed 10% of the theoretical optimum with something that contains no moving parts is pretty impressive, IMO.
I always permitted/encouraged this when I taught (I'm retired now). Every once in a while, we'd find some enterprising student selling pre-made cheat sheets, which were of course of little value to the purchaser.
I think some people feel productive writing lots of code, while others feel productive learning ways to avoid writing lots of code.
A sensible capital gains tax should remove the inflation part.

Say you buy a stock for $1000 in year 1. Suppose monthly cost for living in that year is $1000.

In year 10, you sell the stock for $2500. Suppose monthly cost for living in year 10 is $2000. Your investment essentially just beat the inflation by $500 at year 10. In other words, real capital gain is not $1500.
Note that I'm using the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) exchaneg, which is an additive group. That's how I can get the shared keys down to a small size.
As the article lays out, not ask trafficking is sex trafficking and this gets regularly conflated. Human trafficking is a serious problem. However, most cases are about people who end up somewhat involuntarily working in construction and agriculture. Big example are laborers in The middle East whose passports are taken away when they arrive and then work themselves to death on constructing soccer stadiums etc till their supposed debt is paid off.

Whenever you read about human, sex trafficking it usually turns out to be utter BS like in the case with the football team owner who supposedly was seeing trafficked, sex slaves from China in a massage parlor where they were held keptive. Turned out later that there was no regular sex, the ones worker who slept there did so once because she didn't want to drive home and nobody was even from China.

If this is such a big problem where are all the articles about human sex trafficking rings actually getting busted?
The implementation matters a good deal more than the programming language.
> weird screw cap you needed an insert for to open.

Almost any coin.
I think if you actually asked the people you are talking about how to be more concerned about them, they would (in the full spectrum of civility) tell you it's not necessary.

That said, there's a combination of nature and nurture at play, in this case I would suspect mostly nurture, and that's something that most people can't control. So if you want to feel bad for them, feel bad that they didn't have the benefit of the nurturing you had to value the things you do.
Do they also grow it with shrimp cells so it turns pink or just use food coloring like they do with farmed salmon? [0]

I mean yes, but those people have believed just about everything from drivers licenses to social security numbers to RFID to the COVID vaccine was the Mark of the Beast. Every new paradigm in communication, every form of government-issued identification, the serial numbers on dollar bills.

It's fun to laugh at their constant stupidity, but also perfectly safe to ignore them from a political and economic standpoint.
the proposal is to remove capital gains and tax it as ordinary income above 1 million, clickbait headline
> The argument I have heard is corporate profits are already taxed

I've heard time and time again that it's a moral imperative for corporations to reduce their tax burden to zero using every loophole available. Are big corporations actually paying tax?
I think it would be fair to interpret that as "failing to change as many minds as they could"
You can’t cheat your way to publishing original research

Of course you can, making up results is a time-honored tradition!

Someone making $1M is often part of the working wealthy. No amount of advise from financial professionals will help them avoid paying tax on things like salaries, RSUs etc.
I remember waking up from general anesthesia during removal of my wisdom teeth. The oral surgeon seemed kind of surprised, cursed and asked the assistant to give me more anesthesia. I didn't find it all that traumatic either at the time, but I was only awake for a minute or so.
I'd say you've got it opposite. By default capital gains are taxed at the capital gains rate, but if you don't hold the assets long enough you get the short term capital gains rate which is normal income tax.

FAISS doesn't produce vectors, it's simply a vector similarity search engine.
And that argument is complete junk: https://i.imgur.com/QpvGlnV.gif

The money I spend of my income buying goods from other businesses is "already taxed" and then when those businesses collect it from me its "taxed again".

Mysteriously, the one form of taxation the already wealthy benefit from is very concerned about this happening.
Heat pumps are great! Unfortunately they can't be used everywhere. Check out the Wisemining Sato Boiler, it's an interesting way to augment an existing heater.

There's nothing that makes the idea specific to Bitcoin mining. That's just the implementation they chose for their first product. The idea is to recapture heat generated by computation and use it for another purpose.

Pension funds you mean ?
But the avocado toast ain’t cheap either! Neither is your Soulcycle class! People seem to find a way to spend their money one way or another anyway! But if you save the money, sure. However if you still buy the house in SF with that savings you tend to again lose all benefit. Thus the only way to do this correctly is make a lot of money in Sf for a decade, save most of it, move to some European country and don’t earn at all (this no tax).
Is it me or the elephant in the room is : you can't augment regular "cd" functionality for autocomplete (for example via fzf) without resorting to super intricate bash code ? And so one has to introduce a new command to "replace" cd ?
Well, yeah, that's the reason for the convention – but it isn't quite that simple. Control of the PC speaker should really be available to all users in `audio` by default, because in most setups it has exactly the same attack surface; running software as `sudo` instead is worse from a basic security perspective.

In this case, the driver is a trusted intermediary layer – at least, I think it is.
I mean, it depends on your definition of nutritious, and what you're expecting from a burger.

Should you eat one for every meal? Probably not. I don't think "a burger for every meal" has ever been on anyone's nutrition plan.

Is it reasonably nutritious compared to a meat burger? Yeah.

Compared to ground beef, a Beyond Burger is pretty equivalent in terms of fat and calories. The Beyond has a few more carbs (but far fewer than most veggie meat alternatives), but also a few grams of fiber.

The Beyond burger has quite a bit of sodium, but probably most ground beef would by the time you got it ready to cook.

True - but of the business activity is in EU, then really it's Ireland's issue to sort out with the EU, it's a separate issue from the 'other side' of the taxation in the US. What they should do is sort it out.
"actually stop this pandemic"

I think that's wishful thinking. This will be globally endemic just as the flu is. It will continue mutating in the unvaccinated population as well as the non-human carriers (like pets). Sure, if a lot of people are vaccinated, then it might slow the timeline down for when that mutation will emerge.

"There’s nothing stopping a mutation from really killing 50-75% or more of people. It’s a war of virus vs humanity."

A neverending war, as it always has been. I think the 50-75% casualty numbers are highly unlikely.
It’s important to remember that this is just a proposal, and even if passed, it will likely be negotiated to be a less dramatic change (as with all legislation in the US).

The problem with this particular proposal is it would hit most members of congress (on both sides of the aisle) and their friends right in the pocketbook. Being flawed humans, the people in congress rarely vote against their personal self interest.

I expect to see at most 30% cap gains rates and likely for people making $5M or more, with carve outs for about 15 special interest groups to the point where it’s basically ineffectual.
If people are willing to go to these extents then the biometrics aspect is just a red herring.

They kidnap your spouse/child/parent and threaten to murder them unless you go through with the transaction. They hold a gun to your head while you transfer the contents of your bitcoin wallet to them. They beat you with a rubber hose until you give them your safe combination.

Better question: what proportion of corporate profits are taxed like that? Because the cheesemonger down the street isn't pulling a Double Irish to avoid taxes on the ~0% of GDP that they're generating.
Relatedly, does anyone have any solution for switching a 5k LG monitor between two Macs? There seems to be only a single KVM switch that does that, and it's around $500. It also does not switch one Thunderbolt, but two Display Ports, so it seems that you would additionally need a bunch of adapters which split the USB-C Thunderbolt cable into two Display Port connections, and back together at the other end.

Note that there seem to be more solutions for 4k, but it's my understanding that those don't work for 5k.
It’s at least more efficient and doesn’t result in killing animals. This is probably way more sparing of water use, for instance. Whether someone wants more nutritious food or not is a secondary concern from decoupling meat consumption from current (horrible) practices.
There are, however, the two USB3 ports which you'd think could be used to drive displays ... I believe they cannot be, however.
If all energy produced is green, then it doesn't matter anymore how much PoW consumes.
I think it's because investment money can be moved away easier and faster than labor. As a result, taxes have to be more competitive relative to other areas.

I also don't think it's about incentivizing investing relative to labor. The incentives are for investing relative to other things you could do with money, like spend it, save it, move it elsewhere, etc.
Google "southern baptist mark of the beast".

Personal source: I was raised in the Midwest and attended Southern Baptist (i.e. mainstream evangelical) churches during my upbringing. I was taught that these things are literally true many, many times over the years. I'm not trying to make fun of Christians, Midwesterners, or Southerners, or anything remotely like that. But I am saying that I have personally been told that the Biblical book of Revelations is a set of literally true predictions about the near future.

Walk into any Southern Baptist or Assemblies of God church, find the preacher, and ask them if Revelations is a story of true things that are going to happen, and they're very likely to say that yes, it is. Tell them you heard some guy on the Internet say that the Mark of the Beast is a real thing. They're likely to nod and confirm that yeah, that's what the Bible says.

I'm not saying that everyone in those and other evangelical denominations believe this. I absolutely 100% contend that a whole awful lot of people sincerely do.

The way I explain this requirements to my student is that the proof-of-work is just as important to me as the end result. It's like in math class: you don't just write the answer, you need to show your work. Your commit history is not distinct from the assignment, it is part of the assignment.

Regardless though, my students usually are at a point where they don't have a commit style. They come to my class with no knowledge of git or version control -- I have to teach it to them.

Secondly, labeling you a possible cheater doesn't condemn you to anything, it just puts you on a shortlist of assignments to examine more closely.

Thirdly, this style of committing has helped more than a few students out when their computers die mid assignment and they need to move to another computer. It also allow me to help them with their assignments. When they come to me for questions, the first thing I ask is "have you pushed everything to your repo?" Instead of trying to debug over a virtual desktop connection, I can run their code locally and get to the cause much quicker in my own environment. It really works out well for everyone involved.

When I was in high school, in the 90s, I also vehemently opposed the death penalty. In English class, I’d be on the anti-death penalty side during debates (I’d be the only one). My country was in the process of abolishing the death penalty at the time, so it was a little more than just an academic proposition.

When I hit my late 30s, my position changed entirely. It’s hard to tell why. I now have no moral qualms about a society choosing to put to death people who are guilty of heinous and depraved acts against others.

That said, I’m reading the March National Geographic, and the pictures of innocent men freed after being sentenced to death have given me pause. Given the apparent scope of prosecutorial misconduct (in the US, but it’s likely to be worse in many other places), it’s hard to entrust the state with this sort of responsibility, especially when there are alternatives that greatly reduce the threat to others, while avoiding the finality of capital punishment.
I don't see the purpose of this.

A phone which authenticates me based on my face or fingerprint and provides a signed request to the terminal is far superior in privacy and security. I never see the point in moving biometric authentication beyond the user device.

Even in the event that the signing keys are compromised and are used without the biometric check you can have a chance to rotate those keys and etc.

Devices with known problems with their biometric verification could be prevented from registering a new key.

Never should a company like amazon have access to the biometric data itself.
The concept of “tax burden” or more precisely “tax incidence” is a rather complex topic. For instance, no consumer pays gas taxes since the gas station pays them all, but most people are smart enough to realize the consumer bears a lot of the burden of fuel taxes even though none pays it directly. There is the question of who faces the burden of corporate taxes? Executives? Stock holders? Employees? Consumers? This question has been studied extensively, and with so many multinational companies, in the long term employees are the most burdened by the tax because corporations make investments in lower tax areas. The cost of an investment in a location are wages+taxes. If taxes are high, then wages must be lower for the investment to make sense. This only becomes true in the long term, but it is a good argument for lower corporate taxes and higher capital gains taxes.
