Yeah it's all good except for that, and definitely touches on some pretty cutting edge concerns as you mention.

I didn't remember the Ben stuff either. I hadn't seen it since I guess age of 10? Put it on for the kids to watch with them a couple months ago and I spent most of it praying that Ben wasn't the thing they'd remember. If you have a reason to watch it again then I'd do so, it's amazing how uncomfortable it'll make you feel with modern eyes!

I think the filmmakers recognized how crap that was anyway, he's barely in it and does nothing for the story.

She wanted the equity to buy her grandmother's house.

Also some states like Oregon have laws that keep the tax rates low even in the face of higher appraisals. I only pay tax on about half my house's appraised value when I bought it. Not sure about Indiana.
Ah no vowel conversation is complete without mentioning how they work in NZ accent :D I loved Flight of the Conchords (strongly recommend it for anyone who likes deadpan comedy) there's a funny bit similar to the pin/pen example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRdg1MOYxHo
As of today, we know about 3.87% of the 56 billion outstanding Tethers that help define that market cap are backed by cash. During the big dump to 46K a day ago, Coinbase' bid-ask spread went to $1000-2500 depending on when you looked. That's a serious lack of liquidity. While a "trillion" is not small, its a completely illusory number.
This is a biased article. I would not let another company handle authentication or notifications for my apps. Payments, yes.

…Congratulations? You didn’t actually address his concerns (although they were troll-y in nature). You just flexed about your own wealth, which just as easily could’ve come from betting on the right stock in 2013. I don’t understand crypto advocates whose only plus-one for crypto is that it made them personally rich. It just as easily could’ve gone nowhere and just because the market happens to be in your favor for now does not validate crypto as a whole in my eyes. What is its genuine value at the moment?

Not only that, but he has pretty dominating role in various companies whose market caps are in hundreds of billions at least.
Under the 4th amendment NSA is forbidden from collecting the communications of US citizens without a warrant. Do you disagree or think the constitution should be amended to authorize that?
Depends on the jurisdiction.

In my state/county, the appraisal you get for selling/buying and the appraisal that is done for taxation purposes are not the same thing.

The county does taxation assessments separately, without any input from the homeowner, and only at certain intervals (5 years I think). They also tend to be lower than the market value, at least in the post-2008 market.

I think it tends to be lower in part to give homeowners a break and in part because they can't assess the quality of the structure, only the land area. So if you've done interior improvements, it obviously won't be captured in the value.
Even then the Mars trilogy leans really heavily on the longevity treatments to make the narrative work.
Cool demo.

With these GPT models, I don't get the appeal of creating fake text that at best can pass as real to someone who doesn't understand the topic and context. What's the use case? Generating more believable spam for social media? Anything else? Because there's no real knowledge representation or information extraction going on here.

Yes, I got a really short astronomical one about the discovery of a metallic core planet circling a G-Type star, and I only knew it was fake, because I would have heard about it!
Government prosecuting citizens is a tricky problem because:

* citizens should be held accountable for legitimate issues of legality

* citizens should not be totally paralyzed by fear of being on the wrong side of the law

* citizens should not be targeted for prosecution by vindictive bureaucrats just based on disagreement

None of these issues, however, are particular to citizens who happen to also be government officials at the time of the alleged incident provoking the prosecution.

No because I'd have to spend time and effort on that thing. I'm not a utilitarian, I enjoy creating and solving problems which is why I chose SW dev. Crypto speculation is the opposite of that.
I didn't quite have the impression you had, but I did sign up for a "early access beta", that mostly resulted in me receiving a bunch of spam from the company telling me how almost ready the api was.

The crypto market is so big now that it's hard to imagine enough new money to make prices go up anymore. How does anyone justify these obscure tokens and coins being worth billions.
It has many different definitions, but in this case I mean a flat portable computer, without a hinge.
Then charge individual levies for the use of those specific services, should the individual use them, as I mentioned in the comment you replied to.

You've essentially just enumerated individual utilities I suggested charging levies for, then framed it as if I was suggesting people not pay for them at all.

Your point does nothing to explain away the taxes for a landlocked property which makes use of no services at all. Consider wilderness properties, or hunting land where people have to charter private aircraft into. There's no services used to charge the owner for. Why charge them levies on top of the sales tax?
Paul Bertorelli is a lot of fun, I have seen those videos a while back. I enjoy his "cheap pilot bastard" attitude to things even if maybe I don't agree with it.
In functional programming, simply mapping over data lends itself to trivial parallelism. But yes, the use cases that require it are much more interesting. Basically, background processing.
I think people expect movies to make sense. If a character dies in the third scene and is alive in the fourth without any explanation, it's bad story telling. If rain falls up instead of down for no reason, that's also jarring. If a man is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and uses a table saw to build himself a shelter, with no explanation of where the table saw came from or where he plugged it in, that's similarly problematic.

Stories that rely on magic or nonexistent technology to tell a story are fine, as long as the rules governing the magic or technology are applied consistently. Stuff that's just blatantly wrong or contradictory I find distracting. Some people aren't bothered by that, and anything science-fictiony is generally operating far enough outside the realm of ordinary experience that most people won't notice incongruities.

An interesting case is the movie The Wandering Earth, which I watched recently. A plot point relies on unexplained "gravity fluctuations" while attempting a gravity slingshot causing catastrophic failure of a bunch of important machines. This is nonsense, and made it hard for me to take the movie seriously. Later, though, I realized there's a (probably unintentional) sensible interpretation. The machines failed for an unrelated reason, but the world government can't bring themselves to say that they screwed up so they make up a story that doesn't make sense and everyone knows is a lie, but no one is willing to say so because they're afraid to or want to be "good citizens". This could be interpreted as a commentary on modern China (which is where the movie was made), while retaining plausible deniability.

I haven't read Cixin Liu's short story that The Wandering Earth is based on; I don't know if the gravity fluctuations are present in the original or are given a plausible explanation.

Because he does everything in his power to make Elon Musk look bad it seems like a good plastic “worst case” value to work with.
This sounds really interesting to me. Care to explain how you use it (the slack workspace/bots)?
> The government does not persecute itself

Government isn’t supposed to persecute anybody.

(Prosecute is a different issue.)
Imagine filing a tax report where all your housing, food, car and clothing expenses are listed as operating expenses and are thus not taxed. In addition to that, most of your income went to an Irish subsidiary and your total taxable income this year is $150, taxes at 20% because "I identify as a C-corp".
This is true. Git-LFS can dramatically increase the size of the repository on-disk (e.g. in our GitLab cluster), but dramatically decrease the size of the clone a user must perform to get to work.

Note that this can now be accomplished with Git directly, by using --filter=blob:none when you clone; this will cause Git to basically lazy-load blobs (i.e. file contents) by only downloading blobs from the server when necessary (i.e. when checkout out, when doing a diff, etc).
> without breaking anyone's code (did that for the print function etc and delayed py3 adoption for a decade but not for the most user requested feature which is speed)

The Python 3 debacle is a beautifully worked example of why being backwards compatible is so important, and I can 100% sympathize with them not wanting to go through that again.
Wherever the Federal Government goes seeking to protect citizens a litany of intrusive, bloated, and invasive regulations follow.
If the appraisal price goes up 100 out of 200 times (and 100 articles get written by journalists) and goes down 100 out of 200 times (where articles don't get written), it isn't racism 100 times and not-racism the other 100 times.

It's merely variance that gets attributed to racism post hoc. That's why in an example like this you need large N to establish what's actually going on.

If you have a large N and the price goes up 150/200 times and down 50/200 times, then you have some evidence.

Unless of course there's some extra information pertaining to the N=1 case that can help you make that determination with a small N. But such info wasn't provided in the article.
The number of Tesla cars purchased with Bitcoins was probably tiny. It's the hype that affected the price, not the actual transactions.
That is just a ridiculous statement. If you want a hedge against inflation you'd buy something like shares of McDonald's (people will keep eating burgers), gold and other commodities, things that people need.

No one actually needs Bitcoin. If Bitcoin disappeared right now, who would lose besides the people who hold Bitcoin? No one. If you want to circumvent the banks there are other ways to do so and very easily so.

It's the biggest speculative bubbles of all time. And at the same time I believe it's a very important innovation by the way (solving the double-spending problem, or more precisely, making it good enough).
but you can misuse anything, + vs add was an example for this.

being able to misuse a PL i believe is not a bug but a feature. we really suck at predicting the future.
Market manipulation isn't illegal because it hurts investors, it's illegal because it hurts the market which is important for the economy. The crypto market isn't, so it doesn't need that kind of legal protection.
> . I have no illusions that following a mid-air that I am still a strong favorite to bring my non-chute airplane to earth without fatalities. (The stats say I’m about a 60:40 favorite to do so.)

Note this was a midair with a much larger, faster aircraft and at an unfavorable aspect. The empennage was sliced nearly entirely through by the other aircraft's propeller and the elevator/horizontal stabilizer is deflected into a position commanding a steep dive.
Tesla might not have dumped.

But I'd be very interested to see Musk's personal trading accounts, and the trading accounts of his close associates.
Sure, it is obviously biased – I started Courier because I think developers shouldn't be building their notifications infra themselves.

Why would you offload payments instead of e.g. connecting directly to payment gateways yourself, but wouldn't do the same for auth & notifications?
He's not an idiot, the people who praise him as a god and follow his every word and beckon are. Musk is extremely smart, he knows Bitcoin energy consumption is high and unsustainable. And he knows how to manipulate a bunch of people who have no idea what they are investing in/how to invest.

What he did (and this is pure speculation) is a basic pump and dump (well sort of dump, I guess they still have a bunch?). Bought a bunch of Bitcoin, pumped it WAY up, and sold a bunch so TSLA hits revenue targets. A win win for Musk, and it's perfectly legal (versus the other time he tried and got slapped on the wrist by the SEC).

The fact Bitcoin/cryptocurrency drops 365B after someone sends out a tweet is another issue.

It's true markets are highly encouraged by global issues (such as Trump tweets sending stocks high or low) but the fact that Bitcoin went down 15%~ after a single tweet is an issue.

It's way to easy to manipulate it, and that's really bad.
> I have yet to see a climate change advocate play down other environmental problems

But they stated it was about emphasis, because their obsession (global warming) is drowning out other environmental issues.

> Which is in sharp contrast with climate-change deniers and skeptics, whom I repeatedly see confusing people by directing attention away from climate change to other environmental problems, like talking about air pollution and clean water every time someone mentions climate change.

I'm not sure what you'd expect? They disagree or are sceptical, do you expect them to talk up global warming? That would be strange. It also implies that they do care about the environment, which is in contrast to how they're usually portrayed, but they're emphasising different environmental challenges.

Maybe, if things like clean water and air pollution were tackled then they'd have less things to "play down" and "confuse" others with? Wouldn't that be a boon.
Anyone who requires or suggests IE for ANY reason in 2021 is incompetent.
We definitely agree that there’s huge potential in becoming the “authoritative repo,” or as we like to call it — the single source of truth — for all assets, accessible by tools used by every role. Hoping to focus on text first, but not ruling this out for the future.

What we’ve also seen from customers is that it can be hard to work on product text in document tooling like Office 365 or GSuite because those external docs feels detached from the context of the designs and the app, and require separate maintenance and manual copying + pasting to move it into the tools where product development is happening (ex: mockups, the codebase). We’re hoping to address this at Ditto with lots more future integrations (like you mentioned!) with other design tools, project management tools, etc.
Thanks for sharing this story. Well structured, great ending.

Truth is, we want a specific outcome out of these workers. But do we care that they had a 4.0 or a 3.9 GPA in their unrelated mandatory non-med-related undergrad? Absolutely not.
I'm not a data scientist, but I've been interested in the idea of a "code notebook" ever since Jupyter hit it big. I write mostly in JS/TS for application logic, so this looks like it could be really useful.

Related, does anyone have any recommendations of a (Postgres) SQL "notebook"? I don't really need any visualizations, more just a markdown integrated doc that allows me to lay out the different queries I use to answer a question.
> See some sibling comments for my specific thoughts on the matter.

I took a look at your sibling comments, but I don't see any sources linked that suggest cloth masks are so ineffective as to be useless.

Here are a couple studies suggesting they aren't useless (searched "cloth mask aerosol protection" via DDG):

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsnano.0c03252 (effectiveness had a very wide range, depending on weave, thread count, etc.)

https://www.nist.gov/publications/filtration-efficiencies-na...

I get what you're saying in general, that "cloth mask" means many different things, and that those things aren't going to have the same levels of protection, but you seem to be pushing the idea -- without evidence -- that all cloth masks are worse than useless. Science doesn't seem to agree with you?
The growth of the wealth of the super rich, and the increasing gap with the less rich, is a manifestation of exponential math. Two investors put money into the same investment that grows at 10%. One invests $1,000, the other $10,000. Each year, the gap will increase.

There is nothing immoral about this.

Where super wealth becomes a problem is when that wealth is used to influence policy. Effectively, the super-wealthy can choose to behave as unelected politicians. This is a problem.

Soros and the Open Society Foundations is an example of where this is manifest. He contributed $32 billion to fund the organization. His Open Society Foundation employs 1,150 professionals who promote his political agenda[1]. Whether you agree with his political agenda or not, Soros and I are both American citizens. We both have one vote. My influence in US politics should equal his. It does not. The only Americans who should have more political influence than I are those who have been elected or appointed to government positions.

Carlos Slim has owned 9-17% of the New York Times. Lauren Powell Jobs foundation owns the majority of The Atlantic. Bezos himself purchased the Washington Post. Perhaps these simply seemed like good investments, and I am certain that wealthy persons have owned media for centuries. But the unprecedented wealth of this century increases the potential influence the super wealthy can wield. This is a concern.

I know "dataflow" is kind of a generic name, but the authors might want to consider that there is already a 7 year old Google Cloud product for running data pipelines called Dataflow.
Right but what does the "kit of modules" consist of? Do I have to assemble the motheboard/case/display/keyboard? Or is it just the configurable components (memory, ssd, wifi)?
Yes, others have, but interestingly, Cardano (ADA) held up well. Even though it dipped, it's still up 20% over the past week and is #4 by market cap.
Last information we have is from late April saying that TSLA sold off 10 percent of their bitcoin holdings. Nobody has any idea what their holdings are today.
There's usually some market reason for a monopoly to exist. Often, it's a temporary reason. That doesn't mean it isn't harmful to consumers, unless you think that market dynamics are inevitably beneficial.

Google, has several market reasons for their monopoly.

(1) The biggest reason is like economies of scale and network effects, but not quite. Online ad markets need to be huge to be good. Bigger market means tighter targeting segments, which is everything. This is why FB & Google make >10X more per customer than their no. 2s and 3s. Data aggregation is like this too. Some data on some users is not proportionally valuable to all data on all users.

(2) Software's infinite economies of scale. Economists like to point to this reason (0 marginal costs) as primary, but FWIW, I don't think it's why google is a monopoly. It probably is why software is monopoly-prone. It does explain the OS/Browser centralisation pretty well.

(3)Normal economies of scale and network effects.

(4)Path dependencies.

Does that mean that Google's monopoly benefits consumers? Who are consumers anyway? Formally, it's advertisers. If monopolies aren't assumed harmful, why do we even need to curb anti-competitive practices in the first place?

>> government granted monopolies; Copyright and IP; federal land, etc

Agreed. I'm not talking about "monopoly," the dictionary definition. I'm talking about the phenomenon in 2021, a handful of companies, most with a tell-tale >30% profit margin. I'm not talking about the exclusive cafe inside on IKEA.

weird comparison since even a regular 3 year professional will make millions in their short career.

250K is not unusual money if you are regularly advancing on oppurtunities (and for the people around here, it wouldn't even be seen as impressive). Whether you want to wait a decade to move to that point or 5 years at FAANG is up to the individual. But the topic here seems to assert that you can't make good money at all in the industry, not how fast you make it.
There's no way they didn't know what kind of backlash it'll cause. So what the hell ACTUALLY happened? Why are they doing this?
