Okay, but Biogen has 9 years to do the confirmatory study and they've indicated that they'll take their sweet, sweet, time with it. Also, it's not like we have 0 evidence: we have two, 4-5 year long studies that show how well it works: and the benefit in one was marginally positive and the effect of aduhelm was negative in the other.

Sarepta's Eteplirsen was in a similar situation: little data to back it up and a very controversial decision. They also had to do confirmatory studies, but it took them 3 years after the approval was done for the study to begin.
all great points! this is why I'm not the hugest fan of "remote-optional" workplaces. remote-native companies tend to develop methods to achieve what you've mentioned without being in an office. remote-optional.. not as much.

Where is this socialist paradise that you speak of where you can have a home without working? There is nowhere like what you are saying.

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.

These people aren't privileged because they "choose not to work and have everything paid for them by people who work like me", it is generally emotionally devastating to be stuck living with your family while your youth evaporates. Further, the money to do this is coming from the family (for those lucky enough to have a family wealthy enough). You're not paying for it with your taxes.
BIS official casts doubt on El Salvador Bitcoin 'experiment'
> Focus on your []

> Try not to "pay attention" to anything
When I was dating I was fortunate to have a large enough match pool to experiment with this. The result: a stupid copy-pasted throwaway line or emoji had roughly the same results as a message I put some thought into. The second category got a few more responses but in terms of conversion to an actual date there wasn't an appreciable difference.

The takeaway for me is profile pictures, physical appearance and class/status signifiers (vacations, hobbies, nice things in/around the picture) were all that mattered and if someone was sold on that all you really had to do was not get in your own way by saying something stupid.
Facebook Is Preparing to Launch Its First Smart Watch
I 100% agree with this!

It has absolutely changed the way I sleep (combined with not having caffeine with dinner or later). It has to be TV shows that I've either seen before or don't really care about what happens. Only difference is I use the sleep timer and just turn the TV back on if I have trouble falling back asleep.
If rights are unlimited, and only their expression can be limited, then it seems like it is a category that excludes nothing and so is basically vacuous.

Ha, I remember this! Also, I have a strange feeling that this may end up reality instead of parody.
> Being able to get the drug wherever you are in the U.S is a good step, and every patient/doctor can decide if they want to try it

FDA approval is for letting companies market a drug to the public, it has nothing to do with whether you as a patient are allowed to take it.
> having optimizations off is not an option either, since it can generate broken code as well, so...

Especially when you add this line, you're telling me that what you want is not to program in C but to program in a language which differs from C not in syntax but in semantics, and in otherwise vaguely undefined terms [1] there. And you're mad that compilers implement C instead of your not-C.

I find claims that you can safely write secure code in C hard to believe when you marry them with complaints about compilers not implementing not-C correctly. Especially given that virtually every new sanitizer and static analysis tool to find issues in C code manages to turn up issues in code that is rigorously tested to make sure it passes every known prior tool (e.g., SQLite).

[1] From prior experience, this tends to be best distilled as "the compiler must read the programmer's mind."
How Did the Feds Get the Pipeline Hackers' Bitcoin? Here's the Best Theory
I think the Big Mac index is an excellent measure of the inflation of Big Macs. However, it is not designed to measure inflation as felt by the average consumer, it is designed to measure purchasing power parity. How far a given unit of one currency will go in one country versus another.

The CPI basket includes all sorts of non-big Mac related items. For instance, residential housing, commute costs and so on.

Even within the CPI basket, the basket is an average. Certain things will go up more than the average in certain things will go up less, but that’s how averages work. Check out the breakdowns on how the various index components of gone up and down over time.

The overall mechanics of an electric car is (or can be made, if it's not a conversion) so much simpler; the battery is, in fact, modular, each piece weighing about the same as or less than a regular car battery. I can easily imagine a market for consumer EVs assembled not by huge plants but rather by small local shops as well as enthusiasts. The age of the large brands dominating is coming to an end...

Agreed - this same like the same exact issue as social sign on, but just one layer removed. You still need to use a third party vendor to manage your data and sign in with.
Also the ability to disseminate posts to like-minded people creates a sense of false-consensus. Like if you mouth off in a town square the people hearing it and reacting are a fairly representative cross section of the population. If you mouth off on Facebook or Twitter the people reacting are either big enough fans to want to react or sufficiently hostile to what you said that they will lose their shit over it. It makes everything seem more extreme. Your detractors all look stupid, because the most motivated people to pick fights with strangers on the internet are, if we're being honest, more likely to be a little unhinged. Your supporters are also going to be pretty extreme in their agreement and unlikely to take you aside and tell you to chill out for similar reasons.
CDs are amazing. They sound much better then vinyl, take up much less space, can fit most records on one side (so no standing up mid record to turn it over). They are much more resistant to scratches then vinyl. Usually they are unaffected by them unless the scratches become really bad. And they are cheap, usually you can buy a used CD for $1-5 in your favorite record shop.

For me CDs serves the niche of wanting to quickly and easily listen to a record in superior quality. I guess I could get a digital audio player and add it to my audio setup and then upload the flac files to it, but that is a hassle I have yet to perform, it is much easier to just keep buying CDs.
If you owe taxes and don't have dollars, but have property, IRS will gladly take that. And I doubt they will look at what type of property it is - a house, a stock, a crypto.

Except in the last case, if you use your own keys, you have a choice of either going to jail and keeping the money, or giving it away in exchange for your freedom. In all other cases the only option to hold on to the property - is successfully physically fight with law enforcement to defend your rights to the property (which is quite futile for the most of us).
It seems like many of these commands should be methods on an OO object or at least subcommands of "wapp".
You don't need to believe in money for it to work. People use the dollar, not because they insist the dollar is valuable, but because the dollar is convenient.
Yes, but it undermines the point of energy production, because the energy produced is not going to existing consumers of energy, it's going to feed the insatiable-by-design blockchain.

Imagine if there were a cryptocurrency based on proof-of-driving-things-between-cities with a mining reward, and Los Angeles invested in it. There would be an incredible incentive for expanding LA's highway infrastructure, and you'd expect LA to get a lot more highways, to but there would be no positive impact on actual commuters trying to use those highways to get around greater LA, and quite possibly a negative impact, because the more direct incentive is to use whatever highways are there - building more highways is an indirect incentive.
Renting is not cheaper than buying, when the cost is calculated long term, in non-investment realty markets. Houses in cities like NYC, Toronto, San Francisco are being bought by asset management firms as investments, turned into condos or Single Family Rentals (SFRs).

Consider this second home scenario. A 2000 square foot home in one area in Maryland (outside Baltimore and Annapolis) costs $3000 per month to rent. Median home price in the same area for roughly same size is $450k. Figure you have $90k down (most don't - which is another way people are forced into renting), and you get 3.5% interest with a 30yr fixed mortgage. You are looking at paying $360k principal and $222k interest over those 30 years, with a payment of ~$1600. Both families live 30 years in the their houses (also not realistic, but makes it easier).

After 30 years the SFR family has spent $1,080,000 and has nothing to show for it. After 30 years the owner family has spent $582,000 (~54% of the SFR money). Not only that, they also own the house. At the U.S. national average home appreciation of 3.85%, that home is now worth $1,397,679. That means that while the SFR family is in the red $1.08 million, the owning family has money if they sell the house, to the tune of $815,000.

Don't ever let someone tell you renting is cheaper in the long term than owning. Renting may be all someone can afford at the time, but it is always a con in the long run.
Remote work on the west coast is how I do it.

It's worth watching the documentary Offshore Incorporated (also known as The UK Gold for some reason). It's very broad brushstrokes, but still true.

A big issue for me here is all GIMBAL, GOFAST,etc. are camera-based. There are so many perceptually perplexing things that can happen with imagery. Where is the laser-ranging data, RADAR etc.? Wouldn't this disambiguate whether GOFAST was actually indeed going fast?
Same here on Firefox 90.
There's no perfect way, but my approach is always to be very candid about expectations and consequences. So, I would discuss this very issue and explain how some people are good fits for it and some aren't. There's always been an idealized vision of remote work (e.g., people imagine themselves working from a beach in Fiji).

Also, just looking for people who have successfully worked remotely before is a plus. People who have built meaningful side projects on their own can also be a good sign (although definitely not a sure sign of success).
Thanks, big media conglomerates and tech companies promoting them, all owned by partisan Congresspeople!
There are an unfortunate amount of people out there who think everyone else should do their jobs out of love of the work and not worry about pay. I've found they rarely hold themselves to this standard, though, and try to find excuses for why it shouldn't apply to them. You hear people who aren't teachers say this about teachers quite often, especially when they're complaining about the yearly education budget.
Well, not exactly. There is the utility of enabling the chain.

And there is nothing stopping us from extracting gold using electricity. It's in basically all soil and sea water. Sure there are some required materials, but I'd water a guess that those materials are no harder to obtain than GPUs.

The only thing that stops this reckless mining are the forces of the market, and the same is true with crypto. Crypto miners tend to be extremely frugal, and I doubt any are any who are doing unprofitable mining in expectation of crypto going up.

Now from a crypto maximalist perspective, which I don't necessarily hold, isn't the cost of the electricity worth having a decentralized currency which enables all sort of different markets?

Crypto is always held up as wasteful in terms of energy, but I'd be curious to see the energy cost in comparison to current payment processing systems.

Yep, it was very much an old school company pretending to be agile by saying they were. It came about after a merger of the smaller offices (which had ample parking and seats), so I think the agile may have been code for cost-cutting. We had to battle to get moveable whiteboards.
Any government that only accepts payment for taxes or other obligations in their own currency is backing their currency with the force of law and creating real demand for it.
RGBFusion is probably the worst offender of all proprietary lighting software. Absolutely hot garbage. That said, it does work for me with my Aorus Master.
I’m open to considering the nuance here.

For a washing machine or refrigerator, I’d say twenty years is the minimum. For a phone or computer? I’d say at the very least five, but preferably ten years from the last sale of a new, used, or refurbished device sold by them or their authorized resellers. Require security updates for at least twice as long, or when the manufacturer can prove all devices are out of use.
Saying we should just rehabilitate criminals is like saying we should just cure people with cancer.

If you want to play that game, https://www.cvedetails.com/product/32238/Microsoft-Windows-1... shows Windows, indeed, having more CVEs, in spite of, AFAIK, not using C (substantially, at least). Of course, the real problem is that CVE counts may or may not mean anything when comparing systems with wildly different development models (FOSS/proprietary) used mostly in different areas (desktop / everything else).
That sounds... totally reasonable?

A badly flashed ECU can trivially wreck your engine. It can make it wear out faster. It can increase emissions.

I have no objection with voiding warranty repairs if you reflash an ECU. The important thing is that you should still be able to do it, and still be able to fix the car yourself and get replacement parts.
Aluminum smelting and concrete production both take an immense amount of energy.

My EKWB AIO is the worst for that. It has standard addressable RGB to control the lighting, but the default when that's not plugged in is to do the rainbow cycling. The default for all disconnected lighting should be no lights!
I think this is a problem that can be solved with a degree of centralization, say a simple website that allows you to manage your identity: everywhere from ENS to SSO in one place.

Sure, you could argue that it's going back to the old model, but the underpinnings are still open and the only way the tech will make it to the mainstream is with centralization.
Nah, "utterly unreadable" is the right description.

That's what's happening _now_. This situation with third party stores not being able to auto-updates has been an issue for years. It is great that it's changing now, but it doesn't invalidate the fact that this was a persistent problem.
It's reasonable to expect 17 million relatively well off people to make some concessions when hundreds of millions of others have asked them to through the diplomacy of their elected officials.

They should do it because elected officials will sign it into law. It will be signed into law because people asked for it. People asked for it because they benefit from it. People benefit from it because they need stuff the government pays for.

There is no reason to sympathize with governments that depend on clever paperwork for their nation's success because that is not a tangible good. There is every reason to sympathize with governments that are trying to raise money to invest in their citizens because that is a tangible good.

Eliminating tax havens is no more objectionable than closing an account with a bank that has lost your trust. The bank will adapt and learn as it always does.
I agree that is well written.

You can open the binary file in a text editor and it will be much harder to actually read it. Next best solution is to use a HEX editor but having the source code will make it much easier to understand.
It seems that the commenters in this thread have at least two views on what you call “changing the rules.” The fact of the matter is, no one guarantees you 100% uptime access to the markets. I think this episode should be a lesson for everyone, RH sympathizers and haters alike, that it probably makes a lot of sense to have well-funded accounts at at least 2 brokerages, if you plan to be an active trader.
From what I remember a company that had a copy of Nintendo's source code for many N64/wii items got hacked and people took a copy of the code. That company was making some sort of portable hand held N64 thing. Apparently Nintendo had copied more into that copy of the repo than they intended and so a bunch of stuff leaked. It was mostly early 2000s stuff.
Bitcoin has value that they can spend on doing all of this. You are falsely saying the only value it provides is blockchain security when im sure that isn’t even a reason they thought about when doing this. Its to produced more money for the government and hopefully that translates to better public infrastructure.

Contrary to what a lot of people believe, it is actually pretty difficult to go from rags to riches in the USA, compared to other countries. One of the reasons is the low inheritance tax.

> These are obviously intended to be caractectures of stereotypical Jewish people with stereotypical anti-semetic libels.

If it was "obviously" intended to portray Jews, where is the "Star of David"?

At best, you could argue that this is a dog-whistle to all these supposed closet antisemites among the left.

> Even if you could argue for some reason the particular people were relevant and actually looked like this...

I can argue that, because that is what is being portrayed here, according to the artist himself.

> christ why woudln't you stop yourself and say 'wait a minute this could be misconstrued as anti-semetic, maybe I should adjust it'?

Adjust how? Is there a guideline by the ADL on the proportion of Jewish noses for the purpose of caricature? By some standard, anything involving a Jew can be misconstrued as "antisemitic" one way or another.

Unfortunately, if you want to portray "the masonic elite oppressing the masses", you can't get around the fact that this trope has been used by out-and-proud antisemites and ordinary anti-capitalists alike.

> How many examples of anti-semitism in the British progressive left do you need?

Let's start with "one". You have moved the goalpost repeatedly. First, this actress, now this artist. In either case, you failed to provide the smoking gun.

Now we're moving on to allegations of harassment by low-level party-members. By that standard, you'll have trouble finding any political group that has a clean shirt.

If I don't accept the conflation of Trumpism with anti-semitism or white nationalism, then I'm not going to accept the case you just made either. An allegation of antisemitism (or other -isms based on identity) is quite serious. It must be supported by solid evidence, not hearsay, not interpretation.

Then yes, rights don't exist at all.

What we do have is something else, let's call it "rights(tm)", which are a social construct used to privilege and protect individuality. We use it as a tool when making decisions about how to treat others and what laws are legitimate. They are contestable, and allow the tradeoff to be adjusted based on circumstances and the priorities of societies.
Familiarity may be a factor, but not a sole one.

One of my close friends is a NEET because he uses a wheelchair and living in a rural town with his parents provides a floor for higher quality of life than moving to the city and trying to make it on his own (and navigate the various disability services). From what he’s told me, the kinds of jobs suggested by the unemployment and disability empowerment agencies are either hilariously irrelevant or make no logistical sense (long commutes that would require one of his parents to be a de-facto full-time chauffeur).

I haven’t spoken to him in ages. Hopefully the pandemic remote working boom has pushed things in his favor.
