I think that you're missing the point of the comment you're responding to. Here are some similar statements:

"Permission is only a concept that exists within an Authorization scheme"

"Legal and Illegal are only concepts which exist within a Legal framework"

"Simultaneity is only a concept that exists within a shared reference frame"

They are saying that societal rights are actions a society says it's okay with. You are saying that rights are actions you can take without consequence (I'll call this 'effective right'). Those are different concepts, and you're asserting that "effective rights" is the correct definition of "rights". The different definitions say different things:

- You have the effective right to do something -> no-one will stop you. This can be a vacuous statement if there's no-one around.

- You have the societal right to do something -> the people around you will tolerate your action.
If I may be so bold, I would encourage you to have a frank discussion around estate planning with their parents to best insulate them from pain in the future. I would recommend the home be put into a trust, a trustee appointed for the trust after parents’ deaths, and enough investments set aside to cover property taxes and maintenance on the property with investment income until death of the children. What happens to the estate after that is a family discussion.

I have seen the results of not doing this. Don’t pass the pain down. You want your children to succeed, but you also don’t want them to suffer needlessly. Being homeless is an incredibly difficult gravity well to escape, more so without appreciable skills.

> I don't see why I as a productive member of society should get less than someone who festers in their own bodily fluids.

Do you get less? Because if you're working and you're making less than someone on welfare you have to realize that the solution to that should be lifting you up, not dragging them down, right? As far as I'm aware, welfare isn't exactly comfortable.

Bitcoins are directly harming people!

Climate change will probably kill millions and Bitcoin is creating an economical incetive to accelerate it.
I wouldn't say that's because of Ma Bell's. More like in spite of it.
I don't think any of the major consoles are sold at a loss when you look at the entire run of it.

If they are sold at a loss, that could be seen as anti-competitive move that keeps competing consoles out and game prices high. Perhaps the competition chief should look into as well.
> It is the exact opposite of what you are claiming. Affordability of essentials has become so much worse that many people can't afford to live a decent life with their own home even if they are working the jobs that they can actually acquire.

Where do you live? Most people I know are literally given homes to live in by the government. Admittedly I'm a working class guy in the UK and I'm not that familiar with the US welfare system so perhaps its quite different there. But for example, my girlfriend's mum has never worked a day in her life but lives in a £600,000 5 bed house. When she went to the job centre last year she was advised not to take part time work because she'd lose out on the benefits.

If these people were starving or homeless, don't you think they would get a job? Today we have a generation of people who have parents rich enough to let them live in their homes rent-free without demanding they get a job while the government is there for you if you decide not to. Is it any surprise some people decide a 9-5 isn't for them?

To your point though, I do accept it's harder to own your own home, but it's certainly not harder to live without a job today. At least not here in the UK.
As pointed out elsewhere China is making aggressive moves towards Taiwan, a strategic ally of the US.

It doesn’t seem credible to suggest that if the US just closed its bases, China and others wouldn’t try to expand their own spheres of military influence.

I’m not suggesting that the US is a benign power. Only that it is not ‘the aggressor’ in a world full of innocent victims who just want to be left alone. There are multiple aggressive powers all acting in their own interests, and China and the US are the most powerful of them.
Yeah $200k of savings in 4 years is maybe $40k/yr of savings, plus optimistic investment returns for the first 3 years. But GP also mentioned all loans paid off, so that adds another $10-20k/yr, depending on what their loans look like.

It's not impossible to save that much money straight out of school, but if you're making that much then you could still save a decent chunk even if you're paying $2k/mo for an apartment (which comes to $100k over 4 years).
> Realized later that they probably made money off it. Would love to know if true.

They probably didn't even make a lot of money. Although they paid $18.3 million to doctors in 2018, only nine doctors got over $100k.

Are you in the US? By law, there has been a public database of all pharama dollars to doctors for a bit over a decade. It covers lunches and consulting fees and such. For 2018, ProPublica has a searchable database. Here's Xarelto's results.

There are only 10,000 erase cycles per Flash cell. So a lot of algorithms are about minimizing those erases.
Freenode is dead, as far as opensource communities go.

Almost everyone I know left for libera.chat and FSF today hammered the nails on the coffin by announcing a move to libera too.

The Freenode mess should be a case study on how not to do things. Authoritarian takeovers tend to not go down well with opensource folks.
I personally believe this will be more common in the future, but I’m less convinced of a rail connection. I think with the increasing popularity of working from home, availability of utilities (satellite internet, solar power) in more rural places and the relative cost of rural land, people will start settling a few hours outside larger cities without having to sacrifice much in terms of quality of life.

From article:

"The company that provided data is one of the world’s largest IT services companies. They have over
150,000 employees who work with clients across the globe. Most work in the home country, a rapidly-
developing Asian nation."

This is about a half-assed Indian "IT Services" company. (From where I am. Need to specify lest I also be branded as racist white dude or whatever). So there is hardly anything to learn in general. Of course similar type IT companies can learn that their lazy micro-managers need to do even more micro managing to get anything done.

The only thing I learned is that one can get even prestigious institution like University of Chicago to do shady shit if there is enough money to motivate.
I'm working on a product that uses react-flow, and I just wanted to thank you for developing that awesome library! As a data professional, I also think Datablocks is pretty amazing. I would only add that you guys should consider adding "Output" blocks: Postgres, BigQuery, Mongo, etc. outputs would be super useful -- extra points for spinning up a temporary DB in the cloud.

Do you think that video game addiction contributes to this kind of thing, or is the video game addiction a coping mechanism?

I think video game addiction is an incredibly underreported and highly destructive phenomenon. I encounter (and had to fire a few days ago) lots of young men who don't appear to ever sleep, and are highly unproductive, unmotivated, and constantly distracted. The kid I had to fire (I call him kid, but he was 28 and incredibly immature) reminded me of a former colleague in the construction industry who relapsed on his crack/cocaine addiction. Distracted, listless, kind of just there for the ride.

Edit:
Apparently ASKING about video game addiction merits downvotes with zero responses explaining why.
I think people are getting too caught up in my particular example. It could be a month, biweekly, etc.

There's a similar project that runs right in your browser:

It's more simple, and more about physics than biology, but the emergent phenomena are pretty interesting nevertheless.

Nothing stops them from telling others that regardless of what you say. You just make sure that all communication is properly caveated so you have something to point to should it all hit the fan.

Well, isn't Latin a whole cloth calque of Greek anyway...

But that aside, if you're interested in calques, checkout Old Church Slavonic, they calqued massive amounts of Greek words, rather than going the lazy route of English and just borrowing them. They hade the same issue, no way to express these complex religious ideas, but solved it in different way. A lot of these words are still used in modern slavic languages.

преображение = transfiguration (pre-obrazhenie, pere = through, obraz = image)

Богородица = Θεοτόκος (bogoroditsa, bog = god, rodit' = give birth)

I especially love that S:t John Chrysostomos is called Ioann Zlatoust (Golden mouth) and Constantinople is Tsargrad or Konstantinograd.
Yes, there was talk early on of considerations to actually prioritize young people and front line workers.

The hypothesis being that young people were mostly responsible for the spread. Even though they weren't necessarily affected by the virus as much.
We have been long past point where just a degree is enough. What the degree is in is also important. And here even some hard-science paths like physics can be limiting.
I assume that he is not American from the "small country" bit.
The function name is the first item; the parameters are the others: (fun x y z).

Some Lisp dialects separate the two further in definitions:

(defun fun (x y z) ...)

The Scheme style is "definition follows use": the definition looks like the call:

(define (fun x y z) ...)

Now if the function name above were actually y and not fun, I'd have to spend more than two seconds separating it from the arguments fun, x and z.
I don't know if it's true, but a co-worker of mine said that, "in the wild" signed binaries are positively correlated with being malware.

Yeah, that's a complication/cost of HA that a significant portion of industry has long accepted. Everywhere I've been in the last 5 years has had this assumption baked in across all distributed systems.

It varies dramatically by circumstance. I had coworkers who struggled with 3-4 kids and working spouse at home.

For me, my son is 9 and my wife was partially at home. No big deal for my productivity. For my sister, she sold her car and hired a nanny for a year.
> Because so few people know about it, "reputation managers" are charging people like $500 a pop to "remove damaging information from Google results." And ALL THEY DO is fill out that form for free. Someone tried to hawk this service to my husband after he came under attack.

While that sounds like a high price, and you usually don't want to just hire the first person you see advertise a service, the concept of specialization there, and some people just not wanting to devote the time to becoming experts everywhere, seems perfectly fine and normal.

People often pay electricians even for tasks that are just "flip a switch and turn some screws," after all.

I'm apparently not the person who is ignorant of the fact that iCloud is not required in any way to use Files.

Any SMB share, Flash drive, or major cloud service will work with it just fine.

If you are trying to come up with a profit motive as large as Google, where they sell search results on other people's product names, you aren't making a compelling case.

> Most people want to contribute, but the economic system [...] makes them dependent.

The people being discussed here are people without jobs who have a place to live rent free. There is not an economic system holding them back from being able to find a way to contribute because their expenses are very close to $0. For all practical purposes, they have the equivalent of universal basic income. If they would like to write poetry instead of playing video games they could. If they would prefer to paint or write code, they could.
The difference is that strong encryption is an all or nothing proposition. You either have strong encryption that works in all scenarios, both good and ill, or you have weak encryption that protects nothing. There unfortunately is no middle ground, and plenty of people and governments have tried.

Selective censorship by central authorities can be granular, choosing to create a legal process for selective censorship doesn’t suddenly allow any person on the internet to potentially censor any thing they want. Weak encryption however allows anyone, anywhere, with enough effort to break all encryption everywhere, and do so without without detection or needing to expose themselves via a legal system.

Also there aren’t “central encryption authorities” that all encryption passes through. Anyone can implement modern crypto wherever, so banning it makes no sense. It’s like trying to ban the concept of Pi.

In the top spending districts there are two extremely good districts and the rest (esp. Baltimore and hawaii) are generally well known as terrible.

LAUSD spent 18k/pupil, and Chicago spent 16k, both terrible districtd... Don't know what they are not on there

Perhaps it shouldn't be surprising that they cost so much. The common factor between these districts is rampant political corruption (Baltimore spent millions on a plasma-tv-for-hq scandal, la and NYC burn millions on lawsuits for not firing child rapists, etc)...

Eliminating rubber rooms is finally coming to NYC:
Another thought experiment:

What would happen if someone encoded something horrible and illegal like child porn into a blockchain? Is everyone who operates on that chain guilty of possession? Does that make a specific crypto "illegal" if its blockchain contains illegal content?
Huh interesting. But lets be real asjing "why did you start using google anyway" is a preposterous question.

Things of consequence that have been removed:

* channel policies that allowed channel operator discretion
* catalyst page - catalyst was a role descriptor for users whose actions benefit the community, and a list of guidelines for behavior
* channel guidelines - referred a lot to the catalyst page
* group registration page - current terms still reference groups though
* philosophy page
* project history
* Nuanced policies page was cut down to a short list of disallowed behavior

For what it's worth, I came to the same conclusion. You cannot fix online dating, but the real problem is that the younger generations used to have a lot of face to face hangout time due to how the world worked pre-internet, and all that is gone now.
Now you have to plan every hangout and it happens once a week instead of once a day.
Yoga (Sanskrit) and yoke (English).

> These corporations control the government

So proposing these bills is more feasible, because... why exactly? Are you under the impression that corporations aren't allowed to lobby about bills?

What makes you think that legislating tech will be easier than breaking tech up? Complicated rules about vertical integration aren't going to be less susceptible to lobbying and corporate FUD.
Man, Forth is such a cool language. It really captures (what I perceive to be) the "hacker mentality" of powerful but simple tools, without much overt concern for polish/slick interfaces.

I mean I know a lot of foundational code of yesteryear was hacked together in C, but C lacks a certain ineffable cachet in my view. A cachet that Forth definitely has.
This anecdote definitely confuses me and I can not imagine such a first reaction happening in my social circle (yes, this is also just an anecdote ;)
This article adds no intellectual food to the table of ideas this forum is renowned for.
Green energy sources are cheaper when you don’t have to scale demand hour by hour. The overwhelming majority of Bitcoin power usage is already green and that will only increase.

Claims like “Bitcoin uses more electricity than <some poor country that doesn’t use much electricity>.” are totally irrelevant. Good. I want humanity to climb the Kardashev scale. If we have an invention that can help fund the creation of billions of watts of efficient energy capacity then that’s great!

Same is being done by offering people to go in to office.

Plenty will on here have a nice home office and chair with good lighting. But plenty in many "office" jobs won't and can't justify.

> People will always spend money for things they need, they will also spend money for things they want, our current system is forcing them to spend it for the sake of spending it causing unnecessary over-consumerism.

The worrying aspect is that the one thing that people want more than anything is to be the most rich and relevant person in a given area, hence the inflationary system to avoid people hoarding in order to reach this goal of theirs.

If you transition to an deflationary system and people fall in love with it....well there is a whole lot of room to go on the downside.

First people start giving up vacations, then dinners, then cars, that Netflix subscription, then the smartphone purchase, then the app purchase.. all in the name of hoarding.

Pretty soon the entire economy becomes a giant game of mental posturing to see who can go the distance without spending.

Paradoxically in this scenario the most rational thing to do is to spend like there is no tomorrow because society would be headed into chaos, so when the fecal matter hits the fan , at least you'll have good memories
Can you elaborate on "256-bit end-to-end encryption"? Does it apply to all content? How are the encryption keys stored and shared between participants?
In my opinion you don’t. Rely on the authentication provider to handle that responsibility. Services like duo/Okta perform this risk assessment and may opt to request a mfa request.

You basically complain about Vulkan not being portable enough because Apple made their ownTM Vulken-like API instead of actually supporting Vulkan. And some other people made a subset of Vulkan working on top of that.

Why don't you complain about Apple not supporting Vulkan instead?
