"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

I am not a constitutional scholar, nor am I even American, but that doesn't say to me that religions can't be taxed, so long as it's applied equally across all religious organisations. If they are taxed like businesses, they are still allowed to be practised, surely? And there is no 'establishment' of an official church or religion by taxing all equally.
Doesn't that "no law" thing also mean "no special exemptions"?

Main goal of most good interviewers is simple — hire smart developer.

Algorithms is one way of achieving this goal (another question if it’s good way).

Since CSS knowledge (and honestly wordpress) is not a big deal (you don’t have to be smart to learn them) — make sense that interviewers asking you a lot of stuff.
Information you don't have is by definition not relevant to compare targeting strategies, which are based on information they do have.

Either you have this information, then Rebelgecko's comment explains why it would make sense to still have such ads.

Or you don't have this information, then other information (such as "you searched for P") probably leads to this result as well.

In both cases this strategy makes sense intuitively, and I'm pretty sure that ad-tech knows what it's doing to maximize returns, if only by looking at the metrics.
The first amendment does not require that churches be exempt from tax. Only that they be treated equally.

> The brothers were not the first to try to build a flying machine.

They were the first to achieve controlled, powered flight.

An overlooked, but crucial, part of their achievement is they developed the first mathematical theory of propellers. It enabled designs that were 90% efficient, about double that of other experimenters.

This, of course, nearly doubled the effective horsepower of their engine.

This is a major reason why the other pretenders to first flight failed. They simply didn't have the power/weight needed to fly, and the Wrights did.

Where the Wrights goofed was in putting the elevator in front. They did this for good reason (hoping it would make it easier to recover from a stall). Unfortunately, it caused severe pitch instability making it hard to control and the Wrights were lucky to live through early flights.
Does anyone know how to find the implementation / service in use at github for this? The blog post has no additional details, nothing.

GDPR does have a clause (Art. 22) referencing "The data subject shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing[..]" , however:

1. the scope of GDPR is about rights of natural persons so anything about a company or organization Google Ads account is out of scope. A non-profit organization (AFAIK DroidScript is one?) is not a "data subject" to which that article can refer.

2. even if it would apply, it does not require "that companies be able to explain the decisions of black box algorithms", it requires "at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision" so if you complain, express your opinion, and then the company has a human review the automatically gathered data and respond "yep, we looked at it and our decision stands" then that's compliant, that GDPR article does not require them to provide you with an explanation, only with a human intervention.

with enough development mighty could be purchased by Google as a sort of deluxe subscription model for chrome with bundled premium subscriptions to various streaming services and so on. From that point of view, the bundling up of content, delivery and medium is not really a novel thing because I think similar things have happened with cable TV magazines and news to some extent.

But for people at the slow or low spec ends might often not be able to afford that kind of service, that lowest of the low-end might be a real focused niche... say people on airplane Wi-Fi or in remote locations on a satellite link.

but from a purely product marketing and psychological point of view I don't think that a product needs actual technical superiority or real measurable utility to become a big hit. I think it really only needs something that makes people want to use it. mighty could position itself as a sort of luxury upgrade for people with already good specs.

Because from the point of view people who are perhaps already of that successful and wealthy mindset many of them may consider that time is their most valuable asset and the accumulated frustrations and annoyance of waiting for websites to load is something they are prepared to pay a service to get rid of and to provide them and experience which they feel is more in line with their station and their expectations of Life in general.

I don't see how it would, here is the full text concerning religion.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"
Part 2 would be the key aspect not part one. The question would be whether the free exercise is inhibited by tax on institutions or whether religion is intangible and separate from institutions and thus still free practice is available.
I'm not sure how it would lean but a somewhat similar concept is tax on guns which is legal, though the wording is different.
This kind of comment chain helps me remember how amazing uBlock Origin is. I don't see the popup or the inline adverts, and uBlock just works without breaking the site. Amazing.

With regards to fallacy #2 in fact, it is the other way around, I. E. "Easy things are hard" also known as Moravec's paradox. The symbolic AI generation always assumed that really hard problems like language understanding could be solved entirely through easy symbolic manipulation techniques. At the same time, current generation of AI researchers also claim that neural networks and gradient descent are all you need to solve such problems. But both groups seem to forget that the such problems are barely touchable using a single approach and encompass a large variety of different subproblems that may need wildly different methodologies inorder to solve them.

> You can apply building and safety and occupancy codes to the structure, you can apply income tax to the attendees, et c, but it says right on the tin: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion".

Arguably, that just means you can't pass laws that are directed towards / against religion. Not that religion is above the law. See Lemon Test: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_v._Kurtzman#Lemon_test

According to this interpretation, church taxes (like the ones still present in some European countries) are unlawful, as is denying churches ability to gather their own donations. But churches still should pay same taxes that apply to other NGOs.

Hi speedgoose, thanks you for your answer. I really like the gist that you've posted.
Well yes, weather will cause rust. Good use of brakes can clean it up and keep the mechanism from seizing. Lack of braking = lack of use as far as the brakes are concerned.

I could run my errands without braking at all (except when stopping at a parking lot). Anticipate lights and traffic flow, downshift to slow down.. that's how I used to drive. At home I could even park without braking to slow down, thanks to a small incline at my parking spot.

My previous car, which had automatic transmission, didn't have really show any issues with rust because I actually had to brake when driving around town. Same weather, same locale.

Evolution (and survival) only cares about if you survive to reproduce. So human evolution (and survival) matters only until 14-40, and humans aren't dying of skin cancer at exceedingly large numbers at those ages.

If we pushed back the reproductive age we'd eventually evolve to live longer (though would have more people dying without reproducing first). This experiment has been successfully shown in fruit flies.
I think an argument would be if a church did not pay its tax what would happen? If the church would be closed that would be in violation of the amendment.

However I thought that it is not just that religions are not taxed, but rather that non-profits are not taxed and religions are just a special type of non-profit.

> And unfortunately it's unlikely to come from the source or from a general public appeal, but from government intervention.

The government IS the ultimate form of general public appeal, right? It would be unfortunate if we had to resort to begging or public demonstrations instead of having our elected representatives enact our will through law.

> The Quran and Hadiths are preserved so that we're easily able to consult them to determine who is and isn't a Muslim.

And yet those poor benighted souls believe they follow those very same texts that you say would reject them. How is that possible? Because their religious leaders interpret the texts differently, emphasise different aspects.

For a Christian equivalent. The Catholic church can excommunicate someone. They will no longer be Catholic but there is no power that can stop a person who believes themselves to be Christian from being termed that. "Normal" Christians might prefer not to be associated with various people, can call sects Extremist or Fundamentalist etc. We simply cannot claim they are Not Christians.

Reading the thread shows a very different story to the one in the GGP.

Another poster describes the Capitol riot as a "day-out for rednecks". You say "there aren't many rednecks in San Diego" and the other poster replies to say that they believe there are a lot of 'rural conservatives' around San Diego. Then you accuse them of using a slur, although it's not really clear if you are rebuking him for calling Capitol rioters 'rednecks' or for accusing rednecks of being Capitol rioters.

I don't see where that poster told someone off for using racist slurs, but I believe you that it happened.

Not sure this is even one example of what was claimed above to happen 'a lot'?
I totally agree of differentiating punishment from behaviors. A bad comment shouldn't cause all the pics from Google Photos to be inaccessible. But like you said, Google probably has to deal with these issues in incredible scale, so unless some high up personally deal with the individual cases, almost all of the bans are automated.

Also, considering all the intervention would incur some cost, especially with high ups involved, unless unbanning the account has greater benefit to Google, why would they waste time doing it?

Foreign aid hasn't worked and it's the usual political "pork" problem. The best you can do is just introduce a UBI whose only goal is to redistribute wealth. When you think about it is quite logical.

US Citizens vote -> US government (with voting error) -> decides on foreign aid size and recipients -> inefficient allocation & room for corruption -> Indian citizens vote (voting error again) -> fiscal stimulus -> infrastructure and jobs programs -> inefficient allocation & room for corruption -> indirect benefit to indian citizens

By voting error I mean the difference between what people want and what the election results end up as. USA citizens may want more than 2 parties, but the voting system only allows 2 parties, leading to a huge voting error. Non voters could not find a desirable party, which is also a form of voting error.

When you consider the purpose of the democratic system the entire idea is that people get equal representation, a UBI gives everyone perfectly equal economic representation with no room for inefficient allocation or corruption (unavoidable in practice) nor the necessity of a perfect voting system that elects a government that perfectly represents your interest (impossible in practice).

The problem I haven't addressed is the funding side. The USA may only be willing to provide a form of funding that ultimately benefits the USA more than the recipient, which kind of defeats the entire reason we have foreign aid, at least that is the public stance. The private stance is that it's just a military jobs program. Egypt doesn't need more tanks, yet they put a tank factory there because jobs.

Germany has a similar problem, it greatly benefits from the Euro and isn't willing to help out neighbors to compensate for the negative effects of the Euro.

I am still sceptical of that number because it would require more than 1000% of India's GDP, you'd have to spread this over several decades. You can't extract that much value without killing the golden goose in the process, which would make it impossible to get to $45 trillion in the first place.
Proof of stake has been promised for years, so I quite sceptical of the "ethereum will switch soon" argument.
It's definitely interesting to see how people's workflows can be so different, I get by with at most ~10 tabs, and close things as soon as I'm done with them. At the end of the working day, I prefer to have at most 2 or 3 left. I sincerely start to experience existential anxiety when the number of tabs goes up too much :-P. Probably related to some subconscious feeling that I need to 'do something' with all these tabs and when they increase in number it starts to feel like I'm 'running behind'. Different people, different workflows, that's perfectly fine.

What I don't really see is why this service needs to exist to solve that particular problem (browser gets slow because too many tabs), because IMO that problem has already been solved very well by most decent browsers. They just swap out the inactive tabs and are able to restore them fast enough even on low-end systems, as long as they have an SSD. Inactive tabs that are not swapped out don't take a lot of CPU resources either. This service sells you a cloud browser with 16GB of RAM, which is pretty much the norm for laptops and desktops now, so it's not going to save you much if 'too many tabs' is causing slowness.
It's not that religious establishments are above the law, it's that congress (the source of laws) does not have the authority to make any laws that apply to religious establishments.

It's a subtle difference. Churchgoers don't get a free pass to break the law. The establishment simply is immune to regulation of any kind attempted to be placed upon the organization itself by congress.
Wealth tax, implemented properly without obvious loopholes (1) would be incredibly popular, as long as it shifts taxation from income to wealth. However, wealth taxes are unpopular when they're introduced as an additional tax burden.

It's a bit similar to how the car industry introduced gimped, ugly, overpriced electric vehicles to "prove" the public doesn't want them. The same principle - badly thought out wealth taxes in return for nothing - just to prove the public dislikes them. Malicious compliance on political level. Nothing unites mainstream political parties as much as the dislike for taxing wealth.

(1) proposals like radical markets wealth tax create an uncheatable system

Well, if you took such strategy, obviously you nee more precautions.

- Never share the same IP address among accounts.

- But keep IP address range consistent for one service because anomaly means automatic ban.

- Never share the same physical computer among accounts.

Or you can be like never bother to relies on a single platform.
Right, but you're comparing serial flash with parallel flash. Very different animals in terms of support!

I agree, there's no reason to use anything with more than 8 pins for a serial flash. Though I usually end up with MSOP or TSSOP, myself, probably since I rarely have to rework them. (Avoid the smaller DFNs, I always seem to have the worst luck with sourcing those when I need them. Even though they're always perfectly available at design-in....)

SOIC-8 is the way to go for op-amps, though. Manufacturers don't say it loudly, but any part which isn't package trimmed will always perform better in larger packages. It's not a huge effect, but if you have a free choice, why not? They're also easier to rework, and analog stuff often needs a rework or R-C across the pins or whatever.

I also write TS. Here is my solution in my personal project that would never fly at work.

In your tsconfig.json set:

* alwaysStrict: true

* noImplicitAny: true

* strictFunctionTypes: true

Then I go a step further and wrote my own ESLint rules to:

* eliminate classes

* eliminate this

* eliminate bind, call, and apply

* eliminate addEventListener

* eliminate try/catch

I also use typescript-eslint package to lint against the TypeScript directly.

That sounds draconian but it removes a tremendous amount complexity, laziness, and stupidity. Everything comes strongly typed without a bunch of guesswork.
