They are scarce, and capitalism makes them more abundant at the cost of subjugation. Humans work endlessly to have access to things that, while scarce, were available in nature for free, often in superior forms. The world no longer supports the lifestyle of our ancestors, so there really is no choice but grind for currency in order to survive. There is evidence that nomadic hunter-gatherers had better nutrition, less disease, less violence, fewer children and "worked" far fewer hours per year than those in the agricultural and industrial eras. By comparison, it's not hard to think of those more modern lifestyles as a form of wage slavery. Work will set you free and all that.
If I understand it correctly the latter isn't true. There are usually allowances for "vacation" type amounts in physical currency but they are small.

It is different in that futures contracts etc. show up a cap gain on a standard asset. But just doing the exchange directly with currency can land you in a situation where you have taxable foreign income.

> which can easily be equivalent to avoiding many extra years of work before a home is paid off

Yes it is an exaggeration at 1%, but not such an exaggeration when you consider that 3% is a realistic amount extra that a real estate agent can get if motivated. https://financialpost.com/real-estate/the-realtor-client-dil... - “a real-estate agent keeps her own home on the market an average of ten days longer and sells it for an extra 3-plus per cent, or $10,000 on a $300,000 house.”

When I wrote it I was specifically thinking of low paid friends who missed out on about 5% when selling their home due to poor advice from the agent during a hot market (my friends also failed to think straight because they don’t work in negotiation jobs, and they struggle with emotions involved with the amount involved). The reduction in principal will translate to requiring a total of ~10% extra over the lifetime of the new mortgage (extra interest = ~5%). I imagined how that would translate to extra years of work for them when they should be retiring. I also thought that the story of my friends happens to many, because many people are not used to negotiating sales for $x00,000 and have little financial experience to understand the impacts of their decisions.

I mean that we strive to reduce monopolization by the means of anti-monopoly offices/agencies. States are huge monopolies - some things can't be managed by smaller independent entities, but if it's possible it's what should be done. The state is running the anti-monopoly offices so it obviously wouldn't prevent itself from acquiring a company, but it should do so.
The transitory nature of things in general is why I've been a big fan of archival since childhood, and why I've become a data hoarder.

You still can if you invest and then move out when you're 40 and a solid multimillionaire.

I've been assured that moving a farm is very easy. That way, if the climate heats up part of the country, you just pack up and move the farm further north.

Serrano also seems completely off-kilter with his analysis of mixed competency group communication:

"On the contrary, communication ends because [the foreign researchers] cannot explain to the American, in simple language, the advanced topics they were discussing. Yet, the American *takes over the conversation*."

Having been in engineering discussions where the language was not English, it is very noticeable to me that it takes longer for me to formulate a comment or reply. Native speakers are simply far faster to express themselves. When there are multiple native speakers the pace quickens.

Speaking simply, to the point and without jargon, is actually an advanced skill. When you don't know the word circle you say square and then hack at the corners with other words until the other person nods. Part of the reason why Zoom classes suck.

I live on the 5th floor and have 160kg of weights + barbell on my balcony. Got that during corona when all the gyms closed. I do squats, deadlifts and overhead presses.

I mean, I wouldn't do it if the building (and the balcony) isn't a modern overbuilt masterpiece.

The only drawback is that I really need to put the weights gently otherwise I'm pretty sure neighbors would complain.
The AP Art History exam is not new. AP exams were already available in dozens of subjects when I was in high school, 25 years ago. I took that AP Art History exam (although my first-choice school obviously didn't accept any AP credits except a few of the sciences and math).

For a student from a poor family, the cost of AP tests is a hurdle. My high school offered enough variety of AP-level classes that every class I took during senior year was an AP class. Combined, the cost of those exams was several hundred late-90s dollars. To accept the credits, colleges want to see AP exam scores, not whatever exam your teacher ginned up at the end of the year. My parents were getting by a couple hundred dollars of food stamps a month and something like $100 in TANF at the time. Remember TANF? We had to cut some kind of informal installment plan deal with the public school administration, and I'm pretty sure our college placement counselor took money out of her own pocket to make this work.

Cost waivers are said to be available, but the process to get them reviewed was fickle and time-consuming. I was apparently one of a very few students in my class in that position. No one in the administration knew how to process them. And the ordeal was obviously humiliating. I can easily believe that the process is a deterrent for many prospective test takers.

Also, remember when public high schools had college placement counselors who actually got to know students personally? Those were the days!

The Common Application is a godsend. I didn't apply to nearly as many schools as my classmates because my family literally couldn't afford the $50-$70 per application, not to mention the fees to share test scores and so on. Again, waivers were hypothetically available, but the process to submit them was also whimsical and humiliating.
They're saying tunnels are possible. They didn't say people (or any organic life on Earth) would travel through them.

Honestly just encoding any communication through them successfully would turn our world upside down.

That said, wormholes are a bit of the pet crackpot theory of the scientific community right now. Black holes are definitely a thing. White holes are pure conjecture based on extrapolating math in very hand-wavey ways. And wormholes (i.e. the idea of black/white holes where information can travel between them) are even less plausible.

Why was the earplugs + bone-conducing headphones bad for tinnitus? Sounds like a good combination on paper - block out external noises with the plugs and play white noise on headphones to cover tinnitus. I currently use noise-cancelling phones for that, but of course the earplugs will do better for noise cancelling.
Proof of Space is just Proof of Work by another means. Honestly, I'd rather just have (electric) PoW -- at least the energy source could be green, and any green energy capacity built out for PoW can be repurposed.

>Surgical masks with particle collection efficiencies around ~50% cannot prevent the release of millions of particles per person and their inhalation by others (green dots in Fig. 1, B and D). In other words, the human-emitted respiratory particle number is so high that we cannot avoid inhaling particles generated by another person even when wearing a surgical mask

So the entire premise of the modeling in the paper rests on the assumption that surgical masks can filter some percentage of viral particles. It's my understanding that viral particles are around 3 orders of magnitude smaller than the pores in surgical masks. So is there any evidence that surgical masks can filter aerosolized viral particles?

I definitely don't think we should ignore or minimize the contributions of rural Americans. I do think we need to do a better job of making the costs associated with rural life more explicit. This is a big deal in California, where people have pushed further and further into the wilderness, putting themselves at huge risk for wildfires while also increasing the number of miles of power lines that need to be built and maintained; these very power lines are one of the main causes of wildfires.

> Wouldn’t all sequence points executed before undefined behavior is encountered be required to occur as if the undefined behavior wasn’t there? It would seem so:

No. Code optimization is a series of logic proofs. It is like playing Minesweeper. If a revealed square has 1 neighboring mine and a count of 1, then you know that all 7 other squares are safe. In other Minesweeper situations you make a proof that is much more complex and allows you to clear squares many steps away from a revealed mine. If you make a false assumption of where a mine is, via a faulty proof, then you explode.

The compiler is exactly like that. "If there is only one possible code path through this function, then I can assume the range of inputs to this function, then I can assume which function generated those inputs..."

You can see how the compiler's optimization proof goes "back in time" proving further facts about the program's valid behavior.

If the only valid array indexes are 0 and 1 then the only valid values used to compute those indexes are those values that produce 0 and 1.

This isn't even program execution. In many cases the code is collapsed into precomputed results which is why code benchmarking is complicated and not for beginners. Many naive benchmark programs collapse 500 lines of code and loops into "xor eax,eax; ret;" A series of putchar, printf and puts calls can be reduced to a single fwrite and a malloc/free pair can be replaced with an implicit stack alloca because all Standard Library functions are known and defined and there is no need to actually call them as written.

It would be nice if that were true, but it's not. The ability to assume incrementing a counter won't overflow makes range analysis possible in many cases where it otherwise wouldn't be. Because of this you can perform vectorization because the compiler can assume it knows how many times the loop will run.

The performance differences are not small.

You can also tell some compilers to treat signed integer overflow as wrapping-- but people don't usually do this because the optimizations you lose are valuable.

Active Stool -- Think basically a yoga-ball chair in fuction, but a stool in form. They're super convenient for standing desks, and I've found that using one instead of a chair has tricked me into strengthening my back/core when just when I'm working or playing PC games. I've found it to be a healthier, way cheaper, and much more space efficient alternative to my last office chair.

The computer-generated voice we used in the Spectacles V4 out-of-box experience tutorial is a gender-neutral voice. We did this as the start of a journey of attempting to convince the software industry to stop making A.I. assistants be female so often. Having female A.I. assistants perpetuates the gender wage gap by creating the idea that assistant jobs are a women's role. This is a big issue that needs to be tackled and I'm proud to have helped with it in a small way. If anyone reading this works on Siri, Alexa, Cortana, or Google Assistant, please consider asking your management to adopt gender-neutral voice technology.

Here is UNESCO imploring companies to do this: https://en.unesco.org/EQUALS/voice-assistants

"[UNESCO] advises companies and governments to, among other actions: end the practice of making digital assistants female by default; explore the feasibility of developing a neutral machine gender for voice assistants that is neither male nor female"

Are you asking about whether reading a tablet at night negatively impacts sleep?

I think its usefulness is pretty limited that way, since I also have a cell phone with identical features (albeit a smaller screen). So if I didn't have a tablet, I'd just use it or my laptop. In both cases, I sometimes do exactly that.

Yes the tablet is easily replaceable. But it's key feature is the screen size and lack of keyboard.

Perhaps the "paperclip maximizer" doomsday scenario was right in was right in its broad strokes but just wrong about the agents involved?

I can’t recommend enough Sean’s “Biggest Ideas in the Universe” video series [1]

It’s a series of 24 1-2 hour lectures + Q&A/recitations that assumes no prior knowledge of physics and aims to get you roughly to the knowledge level of a modern undergrad BA physics.

For someone who loves science documentaries but was frustrated at most being aimed at high school-level and skipping all the math, Sean’s series was a game changer for me.

Banks and financial institutions (in the US or that are in some way regulated by the US Treasury- which in practice means everyone who uses USD, including such surprising places as casinos in the Philippines) are required to make Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) when they suspect foul play no matter what size of transaction. But only when they suspect it: not every transaction gets a SAR, but if you do, then it might be structuring no matter the size.

The most notable person ensnared in structuring case is, of course, former House Speaker Denny Hastert (R-IL). He was being blackmailed to keep his sexual assaults of children secret. He went to the bank to withdraw lots of money to pay his blackmailer, and they filed a document with the FinCEN network. When he realized this, he asked about it and was told that everything above 10k needed to be filed, so he stood in line ~150 times and withdrew 5k each time. That's pretty obviously structuring, and because they couldn't get him for child abuse (because it was so long ago and the victim had committed suicide in the interim), he plead guilty to structuring.
