Doubt Conventions (2020)
I came away from this convinced that somebody needs to build a data sharing system for medical images.

If there was a system for sharing images that had existed before Covid and enough data had been contributed that reviewers could demand evaluation on some predefined test sets, then a lot of these inconsistent evaluation issues could be weeded out.

The article mentions federated learning, but I feel like that's solving a different problem than reliable evaluation.
sure, but there's plenty of videoconferencing software who still don't support it.

And there's more! Dial-in, guest access, persistent rooms with/without password, organization-level restrictions, automatic recording, cloud upload of videos etc..

It's not a technical problem for Apple to do everything Zoom does, but it'd be a massive product shift to try to it.

>This jeopardizes the use of Bitcoin as a currency for cross-border criminal transactions which is a large if not majority share of its use case.

Do criminals seriously expect that bitcoin (or any other cryptocurrency) is safe against the wallet being hacked? Hardware/cold wallets have been around for years, so this is more of an opsec issue than a technology issue.
I... genuinely am confused. What is it here that a government isn't supposed to be able to do?
If it was not hacked then I believe the implication is that the key was cracked.

Presumably, via brute force capability of unknown nature or a weakness in Bitcoin not known at this time.

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.

We’ve seen repeatedly over the past 50 years that Bezos will NOT be taxed of that wealth under the current system.

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 don’t just mean the raw tax receipts either. Tax policy influences behaviour, too. This has ups and downs but arguing about finding diamonds in the dirt isn’t a remotely similar analogue to the discussion at hand.
Should have been more precise. By "social spending" I mean sum of (tax revenue) + (donations to charities), since 1% decrease in revenue translates to >1% increase in donations to charity. Agreed that this says nothing about "net social benefits," since it depends on the value of government vs. social spending.

My point is only that the elasticity is above 1, since if it were below 1 then there would be literally no justification for deductions. In that case, 1% reduction in tax revenue from deductions would lead to a less than 1% increase in giving, so the government could increase aggregate funding for charities by killing deductions and issuing grants. Elasticity >1 opens the door for deductions being sensible depending on objectives and use of funds by gvt vs. charities.

Note this is not a spending multiplier, so the comparison with government spending multipliers is irrelevant. The relevant comparison there would be, for example, GDP (or ideally the "social") impact of each dollar in charitable spending. I don't know what that is and it probably varies by charity.
I see. You're defining resynchronization of the register during decryption as recovery, not parity checks for recovering corrupted data. Fair enough.

Gosh, your handwaving is almost as convincing as all the hard data available on the causes of homelessness in California. Such as: https://everyonehome.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/2019HIRD...
There's a big difference between agencies owning buildings within which to do business (or the BLM owning vast swaths of land for environmental preservation) and the IRS maintaining a real estate asset class.

In fact there's almost no comparison to be made between the two.
An awful lot of "night owls" or "insomniacs" who just "can't" go to bed early are a result of lifestyle, too. Specifically, hyper-stimulative home environments and very bright nighttime household lighting—not just screens, though that's part of it. Limit lighting to low-double-digit candle power per room, at most, and take away the on-demand 24/7 carnival that is modern multimedia entertainment past ~8PM (or dusk, whichever's later, it's seasonal), and watch most of the "night owls" who just "are" that way shift to normal sleep patterns.

... of course, this means abandoning evening/night-time computer-based work, and cutting back a ton on pop-culture experiences—if you've got kids and a job and you try to spend at least some time active outdoors during the day, when are you going to binge that HBO show everyone's talking about, if not at night? When are you going to play non-kid-friendly video games? Doom-scroll your social media? Work on your "side hustle"? Do anything at all with people that involves screens or bright lighting? Well, you're not. Or at least, not very much. You're practically giving those things up, as significant parts of your life. People are too attached to one or more of those things to take the plunge—me, too, aside from some highly and immediately effective, strictly-followed trials of at most a few weeks at a time.

(yes, of course some people actually have problems sleeping beyond lifestyle issues, nowhere am I denying that—but as many people as apparently do? No, the epidemic of sleeplessness is largely a lifestyle thing.)
These phones weren't "normal" in a way that non-criminal would just happen to buy/use - all of their functionality was stripped out except the ANOM app which was disguised as a calculator app and you needed to input a code to access it.

To say someone is homeless is not assigning an identity, it's just describing the state they're in.

I'm overweight. To describe me as overweight is accurate, and I wouldn't think you were saying that it's my identity. To describe me as "experiencing obesity" just sounds silly and changes absolutely nothing.
I live in the Bay Area and I have multiple friends that are homeless so let me comment here. A lot of the homeless are on disability due to some physical issue that prevents working , or are seniors. The social security checks do not pay the bills and you need an under the table side hustle in the bay to afford a room and be on social security checks. The section 8 waitlist is years long and you have to “scam” yourself in by saying you are a drug addict when you aren’t. There’s another large category of working class people in the bay that have a job but can’t afford to rent a room in a house . Or they had a job, lost it, and didn’t immediately find a new job. This comment above is extremely ignorant to the situation. Did you know that a lot of these tent camps have a months long waitlist ?
Slightly suspicious. Them wanting to get a message out there that criminals won't get away with far exceeds probability of them retrieving crypto imo.

I've seen this idea posted a few times without data, and it isn't convincing. The wealthy need to pay back those loans, and realize gains in order to do so. Sure, they can maintain a higher average debt/expenses ratio collateralized by unrealized gains, but the real problems here are:

1. When they do realize gains, the tax brackets are severely broken such that someone realizing $2Billion in capital gains pays a lower effective rate than someone with 1/10000th that number in income.

2. We live in a financial environment in which the Fed will rescue the stock market no matter what, creating asset inflation and making this a relatively reliable strategy, whereas there should be more theoretical risk in doing this. Bear markets, albeit painful, are the only times in recent history where wealth inequality decreases as the economy corrects and reallocates capital [0]. Staving them off at all costs for the last few decades via easy monetary policy is arguably one of the greatest contributors to the rise in wealth inequality, alongside poorly graduated income tax brackets and (to a lesser degree) automation.

> Like, fathers were getting their daughters committed for being "too promiscuous"?

That's a really old-fashioned concern. It used to happen in the 50's and 60's, but patient rights have come a long way since then. The most anyone can do in CA is 5150 a relative, which is a 72 hour hold. That's not done more often because in 3 days and they're out on the street again, refusing to take meds. Mental health pros need to be able to hold someone longer and force a 30 day injection of psych meds. Paranoid schizophrenics usually won't take their meds because they don't trust the system naturally. They are unable to make a rational choice (obviously) So we just abandon them and ignore them.

> extremely hard for people without a yuppie income to get mental health treatment in the United States

Not in California. Impoverished people have access to basic free health care with Covered California. The mental health people I talked to at the local hospital were very well qualified. Too bad I was too screwed up to listen to them.
I disagree, I don't see it that way. The very first email says "Don't worry, I have no intention [..]". That to me, indicates OP was aware they were in a grey area.
Hell yeah they will, honestly it's about time we did some more aggressive offensive security operations.

But what does crypto have to do with criminals? Criminals just need to up their op sec game, they know that. BTC dropping is only related insofar as this stupid correlation is getting pushed hard in the media right now.
The specific tool recommended here is simply not very good - despite the language server efforts, the IntelliJ HCL plugin is worlds apart from the VS Code tooling (and has been for years). Unfortunately it's not open source - if it were it would mean the availability of an open source implementation of a production quality HCL2 parser for the JVM ecosystem, which would be very useful.
Did anyone really believe BTC was "untraceable"? You can literally trace every transaction. This feels like ignorance on the hand of BTC investors.
This argument is repeated a lot but I never understood the mechanics. Wouldn’t they have to pay back the principal + interest, from a supposedly taxed source of income? This sounds like a scheme to delay taxes and optimize cash flow, but not a way to avoid taxes altogether?
Recently I saw a WSJ article where they surprisingly couldn't find a story 2, and so it said something like: stock prices decline as investors sell risky assets

Which is almost a tautology, so idunno, maybe that's better than the usual thing, but then scroll down the article and it says bond prices were also down as investors also sold their less risky assets
as far as I know the chances of doing this are far less possible than sending your 'tradicional forces' to get the private key..
> If it was not hacked then I believe the implication is that the key was cracked.

Is anyone here willing to say they believe the key was cracked? Seems extremely implausible to me.
It's not easy to get a loan against illiquid assets in many cases. And even if you get a loan, if the asset goes to zero you still owe the loan balance, which could be huge compared to your normal finances. And you pay interest on that loan.

It could work in some cases but I don't see how it's the same as selling stock A and buying stock B.
Not sure if it's because I didn't make an account, but 8 of the 10 clips I got were all from The Dark Knight. I searched 2 phrases.
I work at Google which (before COVID, of course) had a take your kid to work day every year. But it always seemed strangely structured. They would set up a bunch of separate activities for kids to do and the parents would go hang out there and do those with them.

It ended up looking at lot more like "take your kid to the office" to me, which sort of defeated the point. But I don't know if there's a good solution when the work adults do is just staring at a screen.

I think about this a lot with my screen-based hobbies too. I'd love to share them with the kids more, but they are just totally opaque. The kids seeing me really can't tell the difference between "filing taxes", "programming", "watching YouTube", "making music", etc.

Knowledge work really doesn't align well with how kids naturally learn.
I've been running for years, without expecting runner's high, and also without ever getting it. I assume runners who get it just have a different kind of brain-body.
LSD doesn't work the way you're describing, at all. I can think of other substances that do, but your treatment of "drugs" as a monolith suggests you don't really understand the particular topic at hand.

My rule of thumb is that at least 50% of a financial headline is true. The up/down part is safe to assume as true (at least at the time of publication), and the “because of” part is almost always complete conjecture.
During communism in my country we still had a corrupted ruling class with more power, freedom, liberty and so forth. I'm never going to be a part of it and have the same options either way. Nor do I even have any desire to be a part of it.

> Let's assume that you can't speed indefinitely though, let's say it's a wreckless driving offense, well for me I'm out of options--after a ticket or two I'll lose my license to drive which is critical to my livelihood.

That's pretty much how it works in my country. I believe the only exception is when you have governmental immunity and that has nothing to do with wealth.

> What if I'm really rich and I hire someone to speed for me: a driver? As a passenger I have no legal responsibility, it's the driver.

And guess what happens then? He will lose his driving license too and he won't be able to do this job anymore.

Maybe instead of flipping the entire society upside down you should simply improve the law to prevent such scenarios. It can be done.

Comparing this to murder is too much of a stretch to me.
That book was originally written decades ago. Its threshold corresponds to about $1.7 million in savings in today's world. Their median was $1.6 million, or about $2.7 million in today's dollars.

And given that the people who attained that status on average lived in cheap neighborhoods, the fact that their income wouldn't stretch long in an affluent neighborhood isn't really a concern for them.

They explain it well in the full article:

https://www.propublica.org/article/the-secret-irs-files-trov...

>So how do megabillionaires pay their megabills while opting for $1 salaries and hanging onto their stock? According to public documents and experts, the answer for some is borrowing money — lots of it.

>For regular people, borrowing money is often something done out of necessity, say for a car or a home. But for the ultrawealthy, it can be a way to access billions without producing income, and thus, income tax.

>The tax math provides a clear incentive for this. If you own a company and take a huge salary, you’ll pay 37% in income tax on the bulk of it. Sell stock and you’ll pay 20% in capital gains tax — and lose some control over your company. But take out a loan, and these days you’ll pay a single-digit interest rate and no tax; since loans must be paid back, the IRS doesn’t consider them income.
In this case I believe OP was trying to salvage their relationship. I would also like to note that OP does not seem to be operating on fear, hence the public disclosure.
This matches my experience almost identically (starting at 11, vb6 hacks, lying about it). Had I opened up about my interest/what I was doing, my mom would've made me hyper focus on it but also used it as a weapon to demand obedience.
What Is Varnish Cache?
I don't get the stuff about borrowing. I think I'm missing something.

It seems too easy: you borrow money against your assets and then use the borrowed money to finance your life, and then pay down the loan with pre-tax money? Is it really that simple to avoid paying taxes? How do they pay down the loan with pre-tax money?
I understand the difficulty already. This is tricky, will involve caveats, and unless well-thought though, it would have easy means for people to evade. This certainly isn't something that I could frame by myself. :-)

However, I feel that this is often rejected too soon. :-)

Help devise what could be a better policy that tries to equalizes the opportunity to all newborns. I think such a policy could have exponential impacts on the society.
> before someone mentions "mental illness" and "drugs"

they should also consider that the Nordic countries also have those problems but much fewer homeless. We don't have resources to treat all people with mental illness.

The main difference to Denmark is that the city must find housing for homeless people (by law) and they get enough money to not descend into a hole they cannot get out of.
1. I think you missed who got shot ;).

2. This video (and many like it) are to refute YOUR claim that ALL shootings of blacks by police are provoked. But perhaps a better angle would be videos of blacks being stopped for no reason and harassed? there are many of those.

3. Why did you avoid addressing the floyd comment or the FBI claims which seem to more directly lead our conversation?

I agree that people don’t give cops in stressful situations the benefit of the doubt nearly enough. I also don’t believe that most cops are bad or racist. But i do believe systemic racism (historic and current) exists amd explains a variety of phenomena better than competing theories (which are?).
> I expect this to be bigger than Panama Papers. Way bigger. I expect a few prominent politicians to be soon either arrested or "convinced" to step down.

I highly doubt it. The main drug operations run with state approval. If anything this was just an attempt to either clean the country from competition or just keep law enforcement busy.
If you read the reports, what they have collected, this is nothing if you compare what kind of volumes are being moved every day.

For example, in the UK alone it is estimated that yearly volume of illegal cannabis sales is in the region of 6 billion of pounds and the haul of entire operation was like how much, a 100 million?

What it is going to achieve is a slight vacuum, new youth "get rich quick type" will take place and resume operations.

If this wasn't announced in the media, I doubt drug consumers would have ever noticed something happened. If someone is using illegal market, they have plenty of alternative contacts if their main dealer goes bust.

Also these things are already included in the pricing, so this will be just written off as cost of doing business.
Whether rent is $1500/ month or $500/ month, I just can't imagine the guy screaming at nobody in particular and swinging a drain pipe at tourists is going to pay for either one of them. This whole attempt to blame raising housing prices for homelessness is absurd.

Housing prices _are_ raising, and homelessness is getting worse, but I think the assertion that it's the primary cause (instead of mental health and substance abuse) is disingenuous.
Excuse my ignorance but, how would it show that? Gaining credentials to a wallet does not appear to me to show that the Ethereum proof of stake system is not secure.
You said "accrual of income". Everyone has been trying to clarify to you, that the change in value of an unsold asset is not income, it is not a gain or loss as far as taxes are concerned.
Now the drop seemed to happen at 2:45am UTC. Is that when the government seizure was revealed? That might give weight to a causal explanation.
Typo commits and the usual iteration during development isn't "accurate history". Noise in commit logs provides negative value.

Ideally, each commit should be something that you could submit as a stand-alone patch to a mailing list; whether it's a single commit that was perfect from the get-go or fifty that you had to re-order and rewrite twenty times does not matter at all; the final commit message should contain any necessary background information.

It would be needlessly restrictive to prevent users from making intermediate commits if that helps their workflow: I want to be able to use my source-code management tool locally in whichever way I please and what you see publicly does not need to have to have anything to do with my local workflow. Thus, being able to "rewrite history" is a necessary feature.
I don't buy the "just build more" approach. More market rate housing isn't guaranteed to make it affordable, and there is even evidence to suggest otherwise. The principle of induced demand seems to occur here. One way that supply and demand helps the problem is that some move elsewhere for better opportunity.
Pretty much what I'm assuming happened.
The interesting thing about your comment is it doesn't actually contradict what I said unless you are claiming your friends represent the majority of those experiencing homelessness. Is that what you're claiming?
Getting a degree is not the same as being "there to learn".

I heard it on local WA state tv news which makes it harder to dig up. The thesis of the story was that almost all the deaths were people that hadn't vaccinated ergo vaccines work.

What I am seeing from the CDC is around 535 break through deaths out of 3016 hospitalizations as of June 1st but this isn't broken down by time frame so I cannot compare a time frame to see what percentage exactly are break through deaths however looking at the rough magnitude of breakthrough deaths vs deaths makes me doubt that 3% is accurate nationwide.
As Kyle says, we are sidestepping the template variables problem by decoupling alerts from dashboards. You can instead link from an alert to a dashboard or panel (or run book) and get a similar experience to the old alerting.

When you get a notification, you have a link to the appropriate dashboard and it is also easy to create an alert from a query in a dashboard. You can see the linked alert rule in the panel edit mode.
