Interest rates aren't magic; secured loans have lower rates than unsecured.
My son as diagnosed with B-ALL (Leukemia) last year, and one of the drugs on this list was on the table. His genetic screening came back as it not being required/appropriate, but it really opened my eyes. I have health coverage that means I wouldn't have paid a cent, but I didn't know that at first, and the feeling that price tag left me with was something I won't forget.

A cancer diagnosis is hard. The fact that not only may you lose a loved one, but then to confront the cost of treatment during the phase when you are just trying to accept that diagnosis is something else.

Even without that drug I would be bankrupt if I had chosen a different career that afforded my family less coverage.
Moral embarrassment of what?
This is correct. CO2 is well-mixed, both laterally and vertically.

Mauna Loa observatory is at about 4200 meters, or 0.6 atmospheres. At that atmospheric height, CO2 should generally be within ~10ppm of the concentration anywhere above the atmospheric boundary layer (BL).

Below the BL, CO2 can be trapped by topography or temperature inversions, or in general, not be as well-mixed vertically. The height of the BL varies with time and location but generally that's a few hundred meters.

Well above 0.6 atmospheres -- say, 0.2 atmospheres, or > 12km up -- the CO2 concentration in ppm can decrease noticeably more.
What about their speed and range? If they fly fast they're not going far. If they go far they're slow moving targets. And if they go fast and far they have expensive rockets attached and you're being hit with missiles instead.

Just warming up for Armageddon in the distance, NBD.

But on another note, Bernstein says that the barrier to armament is only political, not technical. How does a nation-state that has previously not had a thermonuclear program go about designing and testing a weapon in the age of test-ban treaties? (Ignoring countries that obviously flaunt it,N̶K̶ ̶&̶ ̶I̶r̶a̶n̶). Say Germany wanted to build up a weapons program - wouldn't testing be an absolute prerequisite?

Edit: ok, so hypothetically for countries that flaunt it.

It is just scary. In my own life time, the CO2 content of the atmosphere has risen by over 90ppm. Humanity has increased the carbon content by 40ppm before my birth, and 90ppm after. Since my youth, temperatures in Europe have risen by over 1 degree.
Imo, Wyoming or Sweden not something in between. Most economies do something in between and outrageously favour maintenance of large stores of ultimately unworkable existing wealth.
AI, and tech in general has revolutionised Radiology.

It just hasn't revolutionised "Radiologists". Nor was it ever intended to.

Not many people deeply realise this, but Radiology is a specialisation, just like Oncology or Cardiology. A radiologist is not just someone who "interprets images on a computer": a diagnosis is sought based on the radiological findings, patient history, and other examination/investigation findings.

> I'm not ignoring the many problems marginalised groups face, I am simply addressing the current topic of conversation,

That is an example of my point and (in my understanding) the point of the new 'movement' in the ACLU: Free speech is always the topic, and has been for generations, and the other civil rights of marginalized people are never the topic - or not enough to motivate anyone to solve the problems.

A sort of dramatic hypothesis: Free speech affects the people who sit at the table, so that's what they see and what they care about. The marginalized get table scraps.

I actually support the ACLU's 'old' stance on free speech, but that's not the topic of conversation IMHO.

This is an interesting idea. The way the commands look like filesystems makes me wonder how hard it would be to make a FUSE filesystem for contacts based on this premise.

One "mount -t contactsfs contacts ~/contacts" and you could literally treat your contacts as files!

What I don't like about programs like this is that they often don't respect the XDG folder configuration, resorting to ~/.pplconfig and ./.ppl/config for default configuration paths. I've already went through all the stupid dotfiles in my home directory once, moving as many as I could, and I'm not going through all that effort again.

The large utility in my state provides the meter, the customer provides the meter socket and everything downstream of the meter.

For 400A (really 320A, 80% of 400) and larger services (commercial) the customer supplies everything beyond the transformer (service disconnect and CT cabinet, typically), but the utility will provide meters or CTs depending on how it’s being metered.

I mean, yeah this is exactly the point. They have locked competition out of the loss-leading categories by undercutting them. Breaking them up forces the loss leaders to compete on an even playing field, which will mean more competition.

Sorry to burst your bubble but this optimism is just completely unfounded. Carbon removal is clearly a piece of the puzzle but if and only if we get to zero emissions first. This is basic thermodynamics.

It takes more energy to remove carbon than it did to put it in the air, so getting all of that carbon out will take, basically, some multiple of all of the energy output of every power plant, every mile driven, every building built, in the past 200 years. We basically have to "undo" the past 200 years of civilization a few times over.

In no way does carbon removal make sense if we don't stop pushing that stuff in the air first. I'm glad Stripe is investing in it, and it makes perfect sense for them to do so and it's amazing of them, because we WILL need it, but only if the world doesn't end first.

The world is like a guy with advanced cancer. He has let his cancer grow rampant for two decades and he's now infested. Doctors say he has a few years to live. He needs chemo and surgery NOW. Maybe, just maybe, with extreme luck and the most skilled doctors, he'll make it. Like cancer, emissions reproduce and grow and every minute counts (growing cancer → arctic methane emissions).

Carbon removal is... his gym membership. Yeah, it will be great for him to get in shape in order to have a healthy and happy future...but the miserable bastard has to survive first.
OP here. Just replied to this elsewhere. Step-up is just to avoid double taxation. Estate taxes are at a 2x rate (vs. LTCG) for assets above the baseline ($1m + exemptions etc).

I don't see the difference. The considerations you listed can sometimes dominate the object-level work, but they're also mostly generic skills for all creative white collar jobs. The core that distinguishes an architect from an aviation engineer or a graphic designer - this is the treehouse stuff.
> Youtube could get you some views but you need to make your money elsewhere.

Yes of course. But YouTube will still be responsible for most of that money: want a sponsor to pay you? You need to have enough viewers in the first place. Want donations? You need enough viewers for donations to flow in. Selling swag? You need enough viewers to know about your store.

Even your stage hypnotists: why people go see their shows in the first place? I bet many learned about those shows from YouTube. Also, stage performers are a bit different in that their main activity happens offline. If all your activity is online, you're back to YouTube being the only point of entry.
You cannot tell from your old meter because it does not submit meter readings every minute (or whatever the configuration is) because it does not have an internet connection.

To me this doesn't sound like it's testing a skill at all. It's testing short term memory, maybe. 10 seconds on 10 seconds off to test your ability to memorize a string of numbers and type them out isn't the same thing as testing a skill.

Once you've admitted it's toxic, and not just a dissenting opinion, the alternative is to allow the quality of discussion to fall until it arrives at the unmoderated mean, where no intellectual or valuable conversation occurs. There are infinite places online to engage at that level.

Edit: I'm not asserting that this particular case is in fact toxic. Anyway, it's subjective.
Taxes on real estate work that way and are a favorite among economists. I borrow say $500k to buy a house. Then I’m taxed some % of the property value each year e.g 1%.
Hold up. Should it be a startup if you're not making money? What stage is it in now? Where does the money come from?

If you're transferring money to a company account then paying yourself with it, that makes no sense. If it's too early, then VCs/angels/crowdfunding won't give you money. If someone does give you money to pay your salary, take it! The purpose of early stage investment is for you to focus instead of thinking about other work, like consulting. Early stage investors rarely take over 10%. Your odds of landing a seed investment are much higher once you have revenue/validation, though, so this should be delayed until you do.

However, salaries are often taxed and startups are almost never taxed. So it's better to use company money for expenses. Training, a monitor, a chair, domain names.
Another comment already mentioned Khard, which has been around a while. [0]

There's also Mates [1]. Less mature, very simple, but it's what I personally use.

I try to steer away from relying on CLI tools implemented in python or ruby: at the system level they always seem to cause dependency hell problems eventually. Mates is implemented in Rust, so it's compiled, which is primarily why I chose it.

An important related project is vdirsyncer [2]. Ppl, khard, and mates all store data in vcard format but don't talk to APIs or sync anything. Vdirsyncer can sync your vcard collection with your email provider or what have you.

If those foundations can do more good for humanity with less money than the federal system, wouldn’t it be good to leave these “loopholes” in place?
Eh, it’s a complex issue but generally that won’t do. When I talk about the workers “owning” a piece of the economy I’m including an important part of most ownership which is executive control. If a group of workers own their business they can also control how the business is used. This leads to more democratic outcomes. And actually “ownership” as shorthand isn’t exactly accurate as Richard Wolff argues that the important part is worker control, but they do not strictly need to own the business - they could sell shares of their business to investors who would get a cut of profits. What is actually important is worker control over the means of production, and sometimes I use “ownership” as a slightly incorrect shorthand.
I recognized this is how I best learn a long time ago. It meant that I could never cram for tests. But, once I learn something I usually really learn it. You're right though that days or weeks is usually my timeline.

For example, if I want to learn some new tech I will jump in and tinker until I get to some spot that is beyond what I understand. Take a few days or weeks, and when I come back the base has solidified making it almost trivial to move on.

I also just noticed the same thing with training Jiu-Jitsu. I had to take a long break because of covid. While I was obviously rusty on my return, I had a bunch of skills solidify while I was gone leading me to see many more details than before I had to take a break.

Learning is a lot like weight lifting. It's the breaks between sessions where the strength gains occur.

Sorry, but you can't flip a critic into a productive community member by calling them angry. If you want help building community, you need to inspire trust with a kickass product that meets or exceeds your promises

Critics fall away when they can't find valid criticism; browbeating and blocking them will only amplify the criticism. I see crap like this on almost all vlang-related posts. Y'all won't beat the drama with your current approach.

> Even without that drug I would be bankrupt if I had chosen a different career that afforded my family less coverage

The knowledge that hundreds of millions of people in the richest country that has ever existed live like that sickens me.

My Mum was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. She had radiation, chemo, 4 different trail drugs and more pills and doctor visits than I ever want to remember over two and half years. Multiple multi-day stays in hospital and of course all the at-home care towards the end.

It was horrible, and I wouldn't wish it on the worst person in the world.

None of it cost a cent out of pocket, and my parents are both retired teachers (average middle class) with just normal public healthcare.

Australia can figure this out but the USA can't? Feels more like doesn't want to.
I’m still waiting for my fair trade, organic, ethically made, non-strip mined gold. Gold has a market cap 10x Bitcoin held by central banks around the world and is mined at a rate of about 2% per year making it a bigger issue than Bitcoin mining.

My understanding is that close to 100% of gold is mined using non-renewable energy. 100% of gold is strip mined in a rape of the planet that leaves the land completely unusable.

Gold production is at least 10x as environmentally destructive as bitcoin, half of which is mined using renewable energy.

I vote we ban coal plants and strip mining and boycott any country that violates the pledge. If we are being objective we should focus our efforts on the largest sources of pollution. Energy production isn’t the problem. Dirty energy production is the problem.

Since Bitcoin miners are mobile and constantly seeking the lowest cost electricity, if we ban dirty electricity production, Bitcoin actually incentivizes the production and development of new clean energy sources by opening up remote options that were not previously viable.

FYI 'swarms' is a magic word.

It's meaningless and is introduced to conflate the fact what is talked about is not currently possible or stupid. These words are used a lot in tech.

> using autonomous drone swarms against a soft target like a stadium full of people

This can be done with a signal crop dusting drone, but if you say that it's easier to understand it's just the Black Sunday movie - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075765/ or a normal crop dusting plane or one automatic weapon where every bullet is a mini suicide drone.

"six drones engaged in complex maneuvers in low visibility conditions, buzzing the destroyer" is not possible. If it was 'one' drone it's obvious there's no way it can get to that location.

It is true Slaughterbots has scared the unwashed masses. Currently a glass window stops a drone, they are currently not far off the Dalek's inability to go up stairs.

Is it good to keep the public scared about drones? Drones greatest ability in war and terrorism atm is the fear. (Excluding multi-million $ plane sized drones which are strategic)
And if you are currently on a well and your municipality brings sewer or water service down your street, you are usually required to connect to them and decommission the septic system and well.

On this, we'll just have to disagree. :(

At some level, most (all?) money has already been taxed. Some entities can write off expenditures as a deduction. Most of us can't.

Consider, my income had already been taxed. Why do I have to pay sales tax on purchasing something?

Edit: and in case you fix on sale's tax being different from income. Payroll for businesses comes out of profit. Which comes from that same transaction. So, somebody's income is ultimately funded from a sales made with money that had been taxed.
