That's alright since the credit card company is the one who'd be filling out the form - you'd only need to fill it out if it was a private transaction between two natural persons - and even then only one form needs to be submitted so if it's someone who regularly engages in such transactions (like some kind of service worker) then they'll probably submit the record of it assuming you insist on paying with cash.

Nearly all of this sort of reporting is generally carried out by banks and credit card companies that are being used to execute the transaction - but the US really does want to know if you purchased a used car from someone for 13,000 dollars in cash since, you're probably laundering money at that point.

Looks like it's the old dispute about 2A and I kind of understand them. Last time I heard, Oregon voted to outlaw mags with more than 10 bullets. Rural folks have disagreed and resolved the conflict in a civil manner: by declaring that they will have different laws from the big city Oregon.
This article title is grossly misleading. As far as I can tell from the article, no actual votes have happened.

No. Once you are farming, the drive is exclusively read. Of course there is bitrot/cosmic rays flipping bits, effectively rendering some portions of the plot corrupt.
I don't know the answers to all of your questions, but I can say with confidence that the "flow of time" is not an invention of the brain. We can (and frequently do) make measurements that demonstrate time is an objective dimension of the universe that interacts with space and matter.

There have been really awesome experiments around this. For example, it has been demonstrated that moving a particle at relativistic speeds increases its half-life, which can only be explained by time dilation.
IANAPhysicist, but traveling backwards in time would violate at least the law of conservation of matter. Traveling forward in time, on the other hand, feels like something actually possible. You're already traveling forward in time at the rate of 1, so nothing would break if you somehow created a bubble of space around you where time ticks at a different (positive) rate.
None of these theories are crazy at all. Special relativity is directly derivable from energy causing a fixed amount of change (action) per unit time.

When the information/computational changes that the energy is allocated, is used for non-local movement, then we consider this to be an aspect of velocity, and the amount of changes leftover for internal changes, which effectively are internal time, is decreased by a ratio equivalent to the standard time dilation formulas.

Movement is change...change requires energy allocation, movement diminishes other interactions, hence time dilation, hence special relativity.

Wolfram talks about this in his new graph based model of physics. Mass is an emergent metric of the amount of internal changes occurring in an object per unit time. Essentially, causal loops in the graph. Feynman had a toy model called the checkerboard model where the amount of bouncing in an area represented mass.

I think what you are talking about is really analytic vs synthetic languages. English is more analytic than most European languages, but there are other languages which are also analytic, like Mandarin, Swedish, and Maori.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_language

In analytic languages, speakers use word order and additional words to convey relationships. However, this does not mean that analytic languages are simpler, it just means that the complexity is different.

For example, English usually requires that you use the correct word order, correct articles, and correct prepositions. "A customer is angry about the movie." You cannot change word order. You must use the correct article ("a" customer, "the" movie), and correct preposition ("angry about", not "angry at"). In some other languages, these details like "a" / "the" are not important.

Sentences like "Spoon me" or "beer me" rely on the fact that English uses word order instead of declension. The sentence must have a verb, and "me" is not a verb, so the word before "me" is treated as a verb. The words are simple and flexible, but the word order is very strict.

C is designed to allow programmers to insert or remove checks as performance tuning. Compiler UB "optimizations" that remove that ability from the programmer make the language unusable.
>My personal believe is presently, for lack of data that I can digest, that the far right is probably focused around emotions

Both sides have appeals to emotion and appeals to logic in their platform. For instance, what basis is there for universal healthcare other than 'we should help each other'? You can't make the argument that it would 'save the government money' to the right, because, in their opinion, the government should be spending any money on it, other than maybe paying for employees' insurance. Every dollar the government spends on it now is just an example of how the government can't do anything right.

I think it's common for people on opposite ends of the spectrum see the other side as 'not grounded in data'. After all, if they saw the reason in the opinions of the other side, they'd be in the middle instead of the end they're on.

All that being said, I think more clarity in government spending would go a long way in creating more/less trust in government's handling of certain operations. Maybe the right sees less inefficiency than they imagined, maybe the left sees more, but we'd at least have some real data to compare.

As a person who speaks a second language I learned as an adult, I find this situation incredibly difficult to negotiate.

In my first language, I can get through almost any such situation by using humour. In my second language, at best, I can manage 'just one more time?' with a frowny face.

I often think - why wasn't I taught this skill in any language school I attended?
I own land in a rural area (house coming in maybe a year) and I have spoken to the neighbors. For the most part it's little things actually. Rules that the major cities deal with, like not being allowed to put up a specific kind of fence because the bureaucrats in the city look at .1 acre plots of land and don't like how certain fences look - where out here we're dealing with 5 to 100 acres (and in some cases a 40000 acres of land). Or that we should be required to pay "school fees" when we build a house because there's "no fucking school" out here! One guy had to dismantle a building he erected (he's a builder) because he maxed out on "how much roof" he can have.

There was one guy talking about Jesus but for the most part we're pretty sure he wasn't an anti-masker. Actually all of our neighbors have told us they wear a mask by the way. So yeah, it's really just getting away from the legal requirements that the populated places need but forget to loosen the rules far away.

Now every county is different so take my input as a grain of salt.
I never used Hetzner but based on my research, Hetzner says that they only have 3 data centers:

- Nuremberg, Germany

- Falkenstein/Vogtland, Germany

- Helsinki, Finland

so you could place 3 instances, one in each and would have to use public IP to communicate between them.

But, Hetzner also offers Cloud Network, which is essentially a LAN that you should prefer for communicating.

Anyway, whatever works for you, using Ansible is easier, because doesn't require any prior setup, but you pay that back with worse experience keeping things running and slower speed.
It's the "File System Access API," the one that allows the browser to read/write files on your actual computer. It's an I/O feature, impossible to polyfill.

The similarly named "FileSystem API" gives you access to a sandboxed "virtual drive" in the browser. Firefox has supported that for years, and polyfills are possible, but it's irrelevant in this case.

The need for many government programs (money spent on enforcing hollywood copyright) and the tax rules that create corporate wealth but cost other areas must be considered. The midwest could do away with many expensive budget items but are forced to pay a share.

The wealth of the nation could flip if heavy import duties were imposed forcing a manufacturing back inhouse.

We tried prohibition of alcohol for a time, and then rolled that back when it was obvious that the experiment failed.

Decriminalization has its own issues, to be sure. I'd prefer legalization (the actual polar opposite). I want addicts to be able to buy a clean supply from a legitimate business. The US won't see a reduction in organized crime until we offer a path to legitimacy. Decriminalization is the easiest, but least effective middle ground.
Accessibility is hard. It's also your job
That makes it sound like places are offering 40 hours (plus benefits) at $15 an hour.

40 hours plus benefits at $10 an hour would be a pretty good deal but the benefits part is so expensive that the $10/hour is close to an after thought for the people doing the hiring.

So you get 10-15 an hour for 20 hours a week here. And the same deal there. And sometimes at a 3rd job because it's not really 20 hours, some weeks it's 10. And you've got a juggle all of this which is next to impossible.

It's particularly troubling language because depending on who the subject is, the validity of the argument is often treated differently.

For example, If OP had made this argument about women I don't think we'd see so many upvotes on the comment and we'd see a lot more uproar. Despite the fact that women are routinely dismissed as being "emotional".

Here, OP presents that there is insufficient data to hop to conclusions. That said, OP still dismisses "conservatives" on the premise of acting purely on emotion. The irony seems lost on OP but also other HN viewers.

I don't quite agree with this view based on what I've seen/heard from small town folks.

The narrative that rural counties depend on the centers for their infrastructure needs is a view that was created by the cities. In practice, people is small towns and rural counties are extremely self-sufficient. They know help isn't coming their way, and therefore are totally okay doing what needs to be done to preserve their communities' health. People grow their veggies, raise their own pigs, hold three jobs to pay the bills ...etc.

People in small towns really couldn't give 2 f()cks about people from the city, but they get pissed off because city people come and try to tell them what to do. Basically, they've not asked for any help from cities before, so why should they be handed down constrains now?

At least that's what I've seen.

> decriminalize all drugs[0] during a time when overdoses are at an all time high[1] and increasing over 40% in just the last year.

You're assuming overdose rates are negatively correlated with criminalization of drugs. Have you considered the possibility that it's exactly the opposite, then when drugs are decriminalized, people can have access to better information and health care?

If you're a professional and you have alcoholism, you can get care and treatment, and it may even be paid for by your employer's health care plant. If you're addicted to cocaine, OxyContin, hydrocodone, or amphetamines, then maybe one day you OD because you never talk about it and you don't see a doctor about it, for fear of being convicted of a crime, losing your job, your health care, and ending up in prison or homeless.
I started drinking about 8. Drank heavy thru high school. Tapered down and quit by 24.

The only time I miss it is after some TV series bombards me with episode-after-episode of all day drinking w/o the expected consequences. Otherwise I'd never even think about alcohol.

I'm generally a better living thru chemistry guy, just not w/ alcohol. I'm kind of put off by the stinky breath and how jail feels like it's one drink away.
Many years ago I had the chance to work in a research institute in Ireland.

A common line for newcomers who worried about their ability to speak was that we had 25 or 35 different nationalities, and the Irish were the only ones having problems communicating in English.

It is pretty obvious if you think about it, and not specific to any language: native speakers of X have to make an effort to speak "international basic X" and they are generally not used to do that.
Plenty would agree to it, with their fingers crossed behind their backs of course.
Perhaps TFA was written by a native English speaker?

This is a common argument, but it is flat out wrong. If, as claimed, compilers have complete freedom of choice about how to handle UB, they have the choice to e.g. make this behavior depend on the processor architecture. Compiler developers are choosing to use UB to make C semantics defective.
Not that this will settle anything.

These things are very cool. I buy wood from a local wood yard every year or two (I don't use much here in Texas, but we do love our firepit and fireplace when it's cool enough), but the splits I get are often too large to easily burn. I'll often buy a bag of kindling when I pickup fire wood, but the kindling doesn't last long.

The main reason I didn't get a kindling cracker is because I don't have a stable base to mount it, although I suppose I could manufacture one next to the wood rack. I did, however, get a hydraulic wood splitter[1] which at least helps split some of the really large logs into something more manageable. It's pretty simple to use and very effective, even on the very knotty and hard oak wood out here.

I've thought about this more and this is such an odd take. If you want to live in a society that locks people up for crimes then you should expect for society to collectively pay for the place to lock them up in and the cost to meet their basic needs. I don't even understand what other take there is other than making them pay for their own detention which just doesnt work out unless you allow them to keep their jobs.
I think it's important to note that a 2021 corvette is not a 1970 corvette. Think of all the additional safety features, the different materials of construction, the vastly better electronics, etc. If you could transport a 2021 corvette back to 1970, there's no way it would sell for only $5,192.

This is actually a serious issue with many products, for example cleaning supplies that are sold for the same price but in different bottles with different internal volumes. Even for something as simple as bread, the average loaf on a modern shelf has many chemicals which would not have been present 50 years ago, and if you do go for a loaf comparable to what used to be available you're paying some markup for "organic" or "artisanal" labelling. Indeed virtually no where can you find a good whose price has not been affected by changes to technology, marketing, customer demographics, supply chains, etc. All of these obfuscate the change in the value of money. A reasonable basket-of-goods comparison requires looking at multiple goods and trying to normalize for all these changes.

Also a Big Mac in 2021 is 3.99. A meal is 5.99, which would have been $1.11 in 1970. Although even here, McDonalds is a very different restaurant now, it's impossible to say how much is inflation and how much is the big mac no longer being one of 6 items on the menu.

As suspected, it's exactly a probability game. If there's few infectious particles sure to low concentrations (e.g. people distance or are outdoors), you would roll the 70% penetration chance fewer times, and result in very few particles reaching deeper into lungs too as the velocities are reduced.

When very close to an active particle source, you'd roll the conditional probability dice many more times.

The critical number is the base infectivity or viability. (CFU essentially) It is expected that sub-viable numbers might even work as a kind of vaccination if people isolate long enough. (stay at home for prolonged time without contact - scale of days at least)
