HANGMAN: Now, you're wanted for murder.

For the sake of my analogy, let's just assume that you did it.

Now, John Ruth wants to take you back to Red Rock to stand trial for murder.

And if you're found guilty, the people of Red Rock will hang you in the town square.

And, as the hangman, I will perform the execution.

And if all those things end up taking place, that's what civilized society calls justice.

However, if the relatives and the loved ones of the person you murdered were outside that door right now, and after busting down that door, they drug you out into the snow and hung you up by the neck, that would be frontier justice.

Now, the good part about frontier justice is it's very thirst-quenching.

The bad part is it's apt to be wrong as right.

Well, not in your case.

In your case, you'd have it coming.

But other people, maybe not so much.

OSWALDO: But ultimately, what's the real difference between the two?

HANGMAN: The real difference is me.

The hangman.

To me, it doesn't matter what you did.

When I hang you, I'll get no satisfaction from your death.

It's my job.

I hang you in Red Rock.

I move on to the next town.

I hang someone else there.

The man who pulls the lever that breaks your neck will be a dispassionate man.

And that dispassion is the very essence of justice.

For justice delivered without dispassion is always in danger of not being justice.
iTunes was never the walled garden: it’s cross platform.
I visited SF ~5 years ago and, coming from Dallas at the time, was shocked at how little construction there was. I think through that whole week I probably saw one sub-skyscraper sized building under construction. Someone from there was like "what are you talking about, haven't you seen downtown?", and I realized how warped their expectations were.
I don't think any rational therapist wouldn't at least try to get you to self-treat your neurosis with some simple exercises, fresh air, and socializing before they prescribe something. Things like chronic depression are absolutely going to require something more aggressive than a walk in the park though. And I don't think anyone prescribes microdosing.
It seems like America is ready for small European passenger vans. The Renault Kangoo and its equivalents are perfect for that.

Considering their own advisory committee advised against approving the drug because of the lack of evidence that it works, the FDA doesn't really judge the medical evidence very well!
What? Now you're making me feel old. I remember 20 years ago... it didn't seem that different from today. What's "massively different" about being a millionaire then? You mean, inflation-adjusted, how it's $1.5 million today?
Take a full dose. Go outside to take a walk. Get arrested. Realize in lockdown that all societal control is just an illusion and an ego trip by those who think they need to pretend to exert power, and that nothing can hold down your divine, free essence as a living god.

As long as you consumed all the psychs what would they arrest you for? Being too enthralled with the beauty of nature?

That said, getting arrested will be the least of your problems if you take a "full" dose and haven't had enough prior experience with psychs.

Courts exist for this reason. On one hand, you have the right to privacy (though it is not spelled out that clearly, it is inferred).

On the other, you have freedom of the press clearly outlined in the first amendment. There is no perfect answer and it will be subject to some debate. But in this particular instance, precedence has made it clear that people of significant stature (and that could mean a blue check is a signal of that in court!) have less of a right to privacy when weighed against the first amendment.
> everyone's taxable income is a matter of public record

That's an interesting approach. I have a couple questions out of curiosity.

Does that include their "offshore" income? By that, I mean income earned outside of the country, not necessarily hidden.

Also, what is income? If there is a billionaire investor and he loses $10 million, do you see that as well?
Nope, no subtitles in your mother language. Only your target language. It's okay if you don't understand a lot, what matters is exposing yourself to the sounds and sights of the language, and the general message of what is being conveyed ("I don't know exactly what they just said, but they seemed pissed and they said 'mierda' a lot, so maybe that means something bad").

Ideally, you'll want to focus on material where you can understand the majority of what is being said, through subtitles or just listening. If you find you can't do that, try watching something that would be easier to understand.
Calling Ubers taxis seems a bit off to me. They are both transportation, but really not the same service. Have you ever tried to hail a cab while stuck on a street corner for 30 minutes? Ever tried to phone for a cab just to wait an hour? Ever see a line of cabs at a taxi stop just waiting for customers when there are no customers in sight? The app and algorithms provide enough optimization that the cars are exactly where they need to be to prevent drivers and passengers from waiting too long. That changes the cost to deliver the service (as does using private vehicles instead of fleet vehicle, though that may be more of an externalization than a reduction).

As you say, taxies are low margin businesses. If Ubers manage to have even lower expenses than taxies, they choose to continue charging less. Uber has always gotten a nonlinear amount of increased business as a result of its lower price.
The problem is UX, so it's not missing something in the sense that it's not possible to achieve something, rather, that something is very easy to achieve for somebody who's not an expert.

The last time I've tested Darktable was quite some time ago, but, on top of my head:

- dehazing is super-easy and very effective in LR

- pano stitching

- auto retouching; experts clearly don't care about this, but for a non-expert, it produces an easy base to work on (assuming it has a very solid implementation)

- I remember LR making it very easy to straighten photos by drawing a line with a tool.

I'm sure all of the above "can be done" in any software (in particularly, the last one), but that's not really the point - the point is how easy it is for a non-expert to effectively use all of them. I remember just going through each panel, and applying effects by moving sliders. That's a great UX experience for non-experts - experts can use Photoshop.
I'm not sure I agree with taxing the "wealth", instead of income. Sure, on paper, Buffett's wealth went up by $23B; but these are just imaginary numbers based on the whims of the market. The tax should be on what amount of money actually flowed into his bank account.
This is exactly what happens. If you buy house #2 within 90 days, you can do a 1031 (I think?) property exchange. Then you don’t pay taxes on the first sale.
"That’s lower than the rate a single worker making $45,000 a year might pay if you include Medicare and Social Security taxes."

Not quite saying the same thing. Comparing capital gains taxes to regular incoming taxes plus medicare and social security. Hell let's just throw property taxes, gas taxes, sales taxes and every other tax in there and then compare...
Even better, thank you!
In the real world? No, you can't buy a house or a yacht with crypto. You can't even buy groceries or pay at a restaurant or at a petrol station.
It's been a few years but my one and only interaction with Zed via an email exchange showed me he was quite unstable and prone to outbursts. Never meet your heroes, they say.
im sure there is a federal tax on annual revenue, regerdless of what your business sells
So is the example useless or the scheme? Because you have contradicted yourself twice in the last two comments.

If it is a useless scheme that would indicate that it doesn't actually save taxes by illegal means. If true, that means it is not fraud.

Otoh, if it does allow you to save taxes illegal, then it is not useless and could also be counted as fraud.

So it cannot possibly be useless and fraud at the same time.
Exactly. To be fair, though, people working on homelessness are fully aware of the complexity, it's just everyday conversations that are not nuanced at all.
I have really liked the Terraform support in IntelliJ, but the "HashiCorp Terraform / HCL language support" plugin seems to have had its most-recent release on July 17, 2020[1]. And it clearly does not support a bunch of the newer constructs and properties. And that's just very unfortunate.

I disagree, there are thousands of rabbit holes to explore, including some that are interesting only to the individual exploring them. Wish I had enough free time.
If that is at all an option for you, cross the belt over to Denmark, not only is homeschooling allowed, but you can get 85 (I think) percent of what is paid towards a normal school to be paid towards a school of your choosing in case you want your kid to attend a private school, making private schools very affordable.
> And many would then ask, what's the motive for generating wealth if it's just going to be taken away from you?

The same motivation that drives some folks to study e.g. philosophy, even though it's perfectly well known that this will never make you rich: Because they like it.

You don't just e.g. found a company for the sake of money - you also do it because it allows you to do things on your own terms, it gives you prestige, it gives you the satisfaction of being 'successful'. In todays day and age, this is usually equivalent with 'generating wealth', but I'm a firm believer that this does not necessarily have to be the case.
Yes, state actors have a lot of resources and capabilities, but omniscience is not one of them.
In a perfect world, I would like to see all drugs decriminalized. I would like to see drugs given to people by the government free of charge. Of course they would have to sit through a common sense education movies, titled "Ok you want to ruin your life with hard drugs--fine, but sit through this educational film."

Until we get there; I am fine with small amounts of illegial drugs being an infraction.
Over the long term it makes sense. Over the short term it’s more difficult if the assets aren’t liquid.
I disagree.

If the US has the ability to quickly break a BTC wallet, it is a public demonstration of warfare that should act as a deterrent in other theaters of war.

> They also don't have the perpetrator.

I don’t think we have a full manifest of who was involved in the colonial attack or the personnel that have made up Darkside.

Even if we did, successful pressure on the perpetrators or their successors does not require holding the individuals directly.
Sidekiq Good Practices
I agree that you lose the benefit of a direct bisect but this is usually shrugged off with "you can go to the PR and inspect the commits one by one" which, while not ideal, is deemed a good tradeoff if you want your main branch to only contain big commits each laser-focused on one feature or bug.

As I replied to @SQLite above, I am not saying this is the optimal state of affairs -- not at all. But it's what is required everywhere I ever worked for 19.5 years (and similar output was desired when we worked with CVS and Subversion and it was harder to achieve there).

But I'll disagree this is lack of discipline. It's not that at all. It's a compromise between programmers, managers/supervisors, CTOs / directors of engineering, and release engineers. They want a bird's-eye view of the project in the main branch.

PG is making large claims about the nature of schooling. The essay is not just for founders. He laments that people sit in class learning about Darwin rather than building treehouses and does not write that this only applies to a tiny minority of people who he expects to become entrepreneurs.

I also think it can be bad advice for founders too.
What I tell every client is that 90% of SEO is in writing good, relevant content. Technical SEO is more like housekeeping. Adding footer links is redundant if you have a sitemap and good navigation. If your users can find stuff easily, crawlers can too. The biggest technical things that I make a stink over are canonical URLs and https.
Apple: Introducing Spatial Audio
The current plans for a port to Qt6 and KF6 are for the moment focused on porting away from deprecated APIs and we are trying to resist the urge to do any bigger changes. Hopefully this will make the transition easy. An overview of all the small tickets is available here: https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/kf6/
> Like I get motivated to do things I’m procrastinating on, except now I’m in the middle of a trail and cant

This is a really common phenomenon. We also experience it in the shower or laying in bed at night.

I think the common understanding is that it's a dumb little trick our anxiety is playing on us. One of the main reasons we procrastinate is fear: that we will fail at the task, that it will be too hard, that it will impinge on our picture of ourselves in some way. So we know we're supposed to do it, but we also don't want to.

When we're in a situation where we could work on it, those procrastinating rationalizations rise up to let us escape the risk of those negative experiences. But if we're in a situation where we can't do the task we're afraid of, there's no reason to put the unconscious mental effort into summoning those mental blocks. So we experience that as "I feel really motivated right now but I can't."

What's really going on is that you're equally motivated all the time, you just have other negative stuff layered on top at points when you could be doing the thing. Work through that negative stuff, and you'll feel just as motivated even when you are able to do the task.
Sounds plausible, that one. Also perhaps the ransom gang had a staging server with a bunch of keys somewhere.

But the tumbler idea actually seems more plausible to me.
Literally the definition of post hoc ergo propter hoc.

So much right. Children do pay attention and many times get glued to the thing they see we adults really value. Since for most of the families formal education is not the thing their world revolves around (except people in university jobs/professors), children don't gel as well with the books, as they do with other things we value (for example, our phones or TV).
This tax deferment only applies to investment property. As I understand it, if you're living there, then 1031 is not an option for you.
My understanding is that while that helps in some cases, the restrictions on its applicability leave a lot of people high and dry.
> Look at the countless issues raised by people being unable to exercise stock options for tax reasons. It’s clear that taxing stock is NOT unprecedented.

It is unprecedented to tax someone on the value of their unsold stock. That's what a wealth tax would be: We force someone to pay taxes on something (their holdings / net worth) simply because it is valuable, but not necessarily because it was liquidated into cash (sold). (like we do with land, but not stocks).

> There’s nothing sacred about different types of wealth. The question is whether society can benefit more from taxing and redistributing that wealth, or whether Bezos can by hoarding it.

I think the answer to my question is: Yes, taxing wealth is one way of extracting more public funds from those who are the most wealthy, and many such ways should be considered.

I don't advocate for/against this, I just want to understand and find appropriate analogies.

Propublica seems to have taken advocacy a priori, when comparing wealth to income, and that was confusing to me because it is actually a drastic change without precedent that I'm aware of (except perhaps land ownership).
Everybody who ever wrote their own diffing program has considered that and that's not the problem. The problem is how does this approach scale in a repo with 50+ contributors? It doesn't, sadly.
I recently joined Facebook for the first time after learning the most active forum for a hobby I have been into for a long time – and went deeper into recently – is on there.

I had hoped to never join Facebook, but it is pretty much a must to get the sort of information I need for my hobby (restoring a Boston Whaler boat). I am only using it on the web and I have only joined that group, no friends, etc.

There are two long-standing web forums on the topic, and they have vast amounts of information, but in terms of engagement and up-to-date advice, they pale in comparison to the Facebook group.

Funny thing is, searching for information within the Facebook group is terrible. It is hard to narrow down specific searches. And none of the posts or info shows up in web searches, which explains why I didn't know about it.

The Facebook format is nice for posting a new question/topic and getting engagement on it, but it is not as good as the traditional forums at building up knowledge for later discovery, in my limited experience.
We don't know if this is the case yet but I suspect that the grand majority of ailments currently treated with Psychologists and Psychiatrists will turn out to be things in the future that we know the cause of and can treat properly at a biological level.

There was a paper maybe a month ago about Penile dysfunction in a Covid long hauler who died. Post Mortem DNA analysis of the dysfunctional area showed Covid19 was causing the dysfunction, it was persisting in those cells nearly a year after the initial infection. This person did not show positive on covid19 tests and none of the long haulers do, this person did not shed viral load and infect others, but clearly that virus was still present causing a raft of problems in their body.

I would bet big on other viruses doing this in our body and causing all sorts of local problems and if we knew what we were looking for and had ways to kill the infected cells we would cure a whole raft of chronic conditions. What you suffer from is likely a combination of the virus that is doing it and where it is persisting. It is becoming an increasingly accepted position with a variety of papers showing viruses stick around, control cells and maintain presence and cause all sorts of weird effects in the body and I suspect we are going to find them the cause of a lot of problems we call mental currently.

I am all but certain that right now what we call mental health is really just physical that we just don't recognise properly because we haven't done the DNA analysis of sufferers post mortem to understand the real root cause. I also think the current practice of Psychology is hurting the chance of the biological research from occurring at the sort of pace and funding it should while it does research that doesn't look deeply into the biology of common conditions.
Not surprising, given how iTunes U never found a critical mass and quite frankly stagnated.

It's a shame, since education tech is very bad and could really use a wake-up call. I thought Apple entering the space might increase competition and lead to new innovation, but obviously that didn't happen.

"functional people"? What sort of language is this? Far right BS!

People are people. It is illegal to scan people for drugs on job interview. Taking dump and shower should not require drug scan.
Well, obviously, I don't actually think that. USA as a system of representative government, if it ever actually existed, certainly doesn't exist now. There is no way for the polity as it exists to stop taking everything from the majority of citizens and giving it to the authoritarian rich. The eventual answer will be a breakup, with the wealthy Pacific states escaping first and various other regional subdivisions giving up on the dream until finally the DC vampires will have no more victims left. Some of these successors to USA will reproduce the same broken system, only at a mercifully smaller scale. Others, I hope, will reduce the harms that arbitrary authority inflicts on humanity. Since we'll all still be Americans, many of us will be able to move to e.g. western Iowa if they figure out the best way to live before the rest of us do. At least once bond-holders are no longer tempted to finance our horrible wars we won't menace the rest of the world with so many of them.

However, when discussing the various symptoms of this fundamental malady, as we are ITT, it's often useful to take the marketing at its word. It would be nice if our IRS were created and operated in the interests of justice for the vast majority of Americans. Let's imagine how that might be, and see how far the actual falls short of the ideal. The quicker we see USA as it is rather than how it has been sold to us from birth, the quicker we'll figure out something else marginally less awful.
most of those will be in retirement plans which I assume aren't taxed?
Seems fun and useful as I tend to be very forgetful, even with the people I love the most.

Sadly, I mostly use WhatsApp — does it work with it or is it planned?

Also, the UX is a bit too hacker-y for my liking but the overall concept is great.
Internally (in the Grafana team), we call it unified alerting because it is a unified UI for non-Prometheus data sources together with Prometheus alerting (and Loki/Cortex/Grafana Cloud alerting) and allows you to see all your alerts together.

- For Prometheus, can view and search for alerts.

- For Loki and Cortex, can create and edit alert rules. See Alertmanager data source: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/datasources/alertman...

- For non-Prometheus data sources, uses the Grafana alerting engine but also has an embedded Alertmanager. Can use the same routing, grouping, deduping and silencing features that Alertmanager provides but for data sources like InfluxDB or MySQL.

I volunteered at one of the homeless organizations in downtown LA for a while. It's a safety consideration that most shelters require residents to be clean (although some of the shelters are more militant about that than others).

However, just saying "gotta be clean to be in this shelter" doesn't solve the problem. There need to be adequate treatment programs available for drug and alcohol rehab. Those programs have been cut, and private centers cost far more than most unhoused people can afford.

Furthermore, there's a positive feedback loop that needs breaking. The experience of being unhoused can lead to people escaping into drug use, just as excessive drug use can lead to homelessness.

My question is, if you're running this with blender, say, does it simply save the same file over and over again internally or in a hidden way somewhere? If that's the case, that's a lot of waste of space for me.
