I edited my comment. I meant tax avoidance.

I totally understand that there is legal means of essentially not paying taxes. That still does not make it okay. As I mentioned, I, as a lone tax payer, who made less then £100k, paid more in taxes in FAANG combined in the UK. That FAANG, who made billions. I probably paid more in the UK than FAANG paid in federal taxes (in the US) combined. The fact that Bezos was able to claim tax refunds despite him literally being the richest person in the world and to hear/read people defending him because "he legally did so" is absolutely mind boggling.
You'd get what you have with YouTube already where the arbitration is run by the entity making the copyright claim in the first place.

DMCA needs to go.
May he rest in peace. Sometimes is best to realize we are not in a position to judge.
Just for curiosity, how would YT deal with ID collision ?

Edit: Before the scheme change I mean
Huh? The government writes the laws, the people elect them. These laws could say "95% maximum tax bracket" (They used to) but they don't. There could be a CEO tax, but there isn't.
The simple answer is that they can affect the change that they are interested in, with that money now. Instead of imagining for their whole lives.

Basically, life isnt worth living poor, or the current state of the world isnt worth being unable to change. Death is more favorable than skimming table scraps.

Although the luxury consumptive spending is a tiny portion of what is possible, and nobody can take those experiences away from you, the funds contributed to charities, political campaigns, and investments allow shaping the world as you see fit now.

So thats the explanation, without justifying it. Despite recent attempts of making society seem more fair, this has always been the history of the world. Seize and lock in a millennium of control and favor for your family.
Yeah, I don't agree with this assessment of the risks there.

The more people that are vaccinated, the shakier his argument becomes.

Covid19 has very real, well documented risks. The common vaccines have very low known risks by comparison. The space for unknown risks shrinks by the day.

That's the danger inherit with being a contrarian. Mostly you end up being wrong. It's a very important role though, to challenge accepted beliefs and create a dialog around them.
While I'm gonna miss the times my friends and I have spent laughing at what a chaotic and ridiculous life that man lived, through all of his antics, he really didn't contribute anything except tax fraud to the world. McAfee antivirus is a plague, and according to the man himself not really his legacy. His death is still awful.

But I agree, he shouldn't receive a black bar or anything.
I can’t comment on a particular field or ideology per se, but perhaps it’s social media newsfeed algorithms that are creating the similar effect to pilot-induced oscillation that you’re identifying?
I think you need to experience some discrimination to see the "water." It gives you an ability to better understand what other people deal with, even if you don't share their identity. I absolutely think experiencing religious discrimination, gender discrimination and so on can give you lots of empathy for a person not like you, but dealing with similar challenges.

To me it's pretty clear the person I was responding to had zero frame of reference to what discrimination feels like, which is why I said so. I really don't know how to get that through to a person with words alone. I think there needs to be a parallel experience to build on.

It's no broad brush to say that a person who thinks sexual orientation has no bearing on identity must be squarely within the favored majority.
Ha, interesting, nice one. I just looked up that plastic credit cards weigh around 5 g, so a with a 50$ gift card you’d get close to the “cheap” saffron ($10,000/kg), but you’d need a 350$ or so gift card to beat the hand picked bio one.
You can escape taxes with death though

There's no obvious reason to believe this is nefarious or even "mysterious". From the WaPo article[1] on the subject here's the statement from the NIH (which maintains the database)

“These SARS-CoV-2 sequences were submitted for posting in SRA in March 2020 and subsequently requested to be withdrawn by the submitting investigator in June 2020. The requestor indicated the sequence information had been updated, was being submitted to another database, and wanted the data removed from SRA to avoid version control issues"

Nope, we don’t add up prison time in Germany for repeating the same or related crimes over and over. On top, the 10/15 years are the maximum and barely reached. E.g. Uli Hoeneß, ex-manager of the soccer club Bayern Munich, got 3.5 years for evasion of ~30m dollar in a total of 7 counts, but could actually leave prison after sth like two years, 1.5 of which where „open jail time“, so he could go to work and only had to sleep in jail.
My claim is that more of the students that attend schools in impoverished areas need significant support beyond being presented instructional content than students in affluent areas, and that when students with those high needs are concentrated they are less likely to have them met.

My experience as a secondary school teacher in multiple Title 1 schools was that when you are responsible for a classroom of 30 students, once you have more than a few with high needs (3-5 in my experience) you are unable to provide any of them the support they need. When I taught in an affluent school, I saw that students who were in Special Education programs were given a lot more personal attention and support, which provided them the structure they needed to be successful. Students where those needs are concentrated don't get the attention and support and as a result are very, very unlikely to be successful academically.
Wow - I don't think so, unless by;

"2. Feminists (TERFs) who believe being a"

... you mean the groups they represent i.e. 'a lot of women' frankly many of them who are not 'radical feminist' or even 'feminist'.

Huge numbers of women are uncomfortable with at least some parts of 'trans women' from 'changerooms' to 'sports' etc..

I don't think the very notion of 'trans' really upsets very many people at all, and that's the funny paradox.

But as soon as it crosses paths with others, then it's an entirely different issue and there's a lot of dust raised by pluralities.
It's not your problem if people take it the wrong way, points are valid, you don't need to dedicate half your message to disclaimers to appease the hyperoffended crowd - what should I get upset about today people
Those seeds though, who planted them?

:/
> Something simplified and streamlined like the UK NHS sounds much better.

I have lots of friends in the UK including some who work for the NHS and none of them characterize it as “streamlined” or “simplified”. “Bottomless money put” has come up a few times. I’m sharing this out of amusement more than anything; I fully support single payer and I suspect even the UK’s NHS is better than America’s system in general.
I am not into ML, but from time to time I like to look how this is made and remember only once seeing the code and a model, which I thought was exception from the "norm". Good that more people are calling this out!
Greed and lack of education.
It should absolutely be discounted. There's literally no evidence suggesting he was murdered.

He was about to be extradited, the US Government was well on their way to making an example of him. There was no incentive to murder him.
OK, that's an interesting POV.

To be honest, I was surprised that you advocated writing so many tests for each view, easily 10-20 per view.

Part of the beauty of Django's various class based interfaces is that you can be confident that if you add a validator to a model field, then it will be validated by the corresponding ModelForm in the corresponding CreateView.

But then again, you advocate against OOP in python including CBVs. If you do write all your endpoints as functions, it makes more sense you need to test it because it's easy to forget to include a line of validation or whatever it is.

FWIW I love the fact that various Django classes are like DSLs. DSLs are less powerful by construction, so less buggy. It is almost like using low-code. But I do see your point about tracking inheritance and control flow, it can be a challenge at scale.
I understand the skepticism, but I urge you to look into the people running the clinic, they are honest and credible people, and the results are real. They also recount that they have trouble with people finding such a simple solution in-credible.
Maybe critical training materials should not be published to YouTube?
Do you know the founder of Frigrow?
Hi i just discovered this product on the Makers festival page and would like to interview the founders, do you know them?
Sorry but China is about as monolithic as you can get. The CCP had an incredibly tight control over the entire country. It doesn’t allow anything except for a monolithic view.
It is one thing for a phone.

But if they want to go to the iPad Pro direction they need to be more flexible.
When I was writing a paper I had to include all source code in a state to be published, otherwise it wouldn't be accepted. I guess today the bar is much lower.
I mean he certainly could afford some good CPAs to mitigate his tax burden if he wanted to.
Is it a certainty that the lab was doing gain of function research? Haven't followed this closely.
Try again? Just a guess.
Bezos and McAffee paid about the same amount of taxes.
Did you ask these cab drivers why did they pursue a PhD with the associated cost in time and money if they knew in advance there is no opportunity to use it? Most people that I know with a PhD working outside universities did it for status or for spending some more years studying and not working, not because they needed it.
Honestly though, in my day job I've been trying to eschew gendered pronouns across the board - my coworker's gender is not relevant to them being my coworker. For a long time we've promoted gender as the single most defining trait as a person in a way we don't promote with height, weight or even skincolor. It's Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith that are used as common forms of address - but not Tall Smith or British Smith. I'm pretty much done with such an emphasis being placed on gender in common social interactions, the only thing it's relevant to is who's going to sleep with who which isn't really something I want to discuss at work anyways.
New, better compression for columns of numerical data
I made this open source compression algorithm as part of a database I'm creating. It typically compresses columns of numerical data to ~25% smaller than alternatives (think .snappy.parquet or .gzip.parquet) at similar or cheaper compute cost. It decompresses 15-100 million 64-bit numbers per second on a single i5 CPU per second.

I also made a blog post that introduces the idea more from the math perspective: https://graphallthethings.com/posts/quantile-compression
A lot of might be money laundering from existing crimes, because of weak compliance controls in exchanges and countries like SA.

I guess that means you can't put your Dead Man's Switch video on youtube anymore. How far into the future can you schedule a video anyway.

Access to capital? The small business loan system could be modernized to support a wider variety of businesses, could incorporate grants, could be more generous - especially if we wanted to advantage certain groups - like first time entrepreneurs.
That's the wrong way to think about it - they allow you to have experiences in the real world that would otherwise only be available in virtual worlds.

And there are lots of examples:

- seeing the upcoming birthdays/recent messages/interests you have in common etc of people you meet above their heads as you walk around.

- having a map projected onto the sky of the world around you (like you're on a globe inside a globe looking up)

- removing visual clutter, like unwanted adverts

- allowing each user of a house or space to have it decorated the way they like

- having x-ray vision to see things like cables, pipes etc in walls

- seeing historical reconstructions in the same place as the real thing

- visualizing a new item in the real world and manipulate it before you 3d print it

- time-inverted trails - having an inverse trail showing
you had to do movements you're trying to learn.

- when trying to build something, seeing the exact places and actions you need to take in the real world

- adding panes of information into the world where otherwise you don't have easy access to the internet. Like having a mobile phone of whatever size you want that hovers next to you.

- leaving virtual objects in locations for friends

- embodying virtual assistants into daemon like creatures

In fact, with well implemented AR (a much harder problem of course than VR), you can have all the same experiences you can have in VR plus versions of those experiences that blend in the real world and environment you are in. It's strictly a superset of VR.
Leeway? You think murderers and batterers give leeway to transpeople?
> Because whatever he says in a trial becomes public record and widely reported on.

I don't think John had any credibility left for that to happen. We will never be 100% sure but I lean %99.99 that he committed suicide. He was not the kind to spent time in jails. Boredom killed this man
I have hundreds of missing videos in my various lists.

I wish youtube would at least keep the title there so you know what it is that has been lost.

Welcome to the alzheimic future.
Because there are many fully collateralized products in the crypto space that offer those kind of returns.

There are many custodial solutions that offer access to those products

Many people have no clue about the difference between custodial and noncustodial solutions

And even if they are aware, it then becomes impossible to discern which custodial solution is more legitimate or has more assurances of security
Timing in this is perfect for us. Having yet another tool and custom apis or zapiers adds a lot of friction, we were going for I think zenhub but this will suffice
I use Fn+Arrows to move around and edit code or large text without repositioning my hands.

Combined with Shift and/or Ctrl you get really fast in modifying text, as you only switch both hands blindly between "navigate/select" position and "write" position.

Examples:

You start modifying a long sentence and realize that you need to rewrite the text after your cursor?

--> Shift+Ctrl+Right let's you quickly select words, Shift+Fn+Right selects the whole line to your right. The next keystroke will replace everything you just highlighted with your new input.

Need to add a line of code above/below the line you just modified?

--> Fn+Right, then Enter, to start a new line below the cursor.

--> Fn+Left, then Enter, to start a new line above the cursor.
"At the same time, I believe if you want to participate in the American oligarchy or compete with them, you need to become familiar with where they get their training."

Well observed! This has also been my conclusion, but I have to admit a curious line of thinking it spurred. With modern technology, it should be possible to spread this training to the public. If that happened though, what would be the impact? An oversaturated world of elites? Some new faction of elite that would then clash with the old-guard? It's a fun though experiment at least.
Sometimes drug abuse and alcoholism is just an outcome of other problems. I wouldn't be shocked to hear that he had untreated bipolar or something.
Weird thing to downvote. I'd like to be able to pay to ensure that no ads are placed on my own B2B videos, myself.
As an Economist reader who sometimes scratches his head at how late they are to the party, I love your framing here. I appreciate their sobriety though.
1. Some unemployed devs don't find their work and successfully make their own business. Many work on the OS software you use. It's odd why you would think otherwise if you have that level of experience.

2. I know a number of good developers that are respectable, they just don't have the work experience in the form of "Worked at X for 2 years". A quick gander at github can reveal a number of highly skilled projects done out of self creation and not sourced from a company.

3. I haven't come across many "self entitled" programmers, but certainly many self entitled managers and business owners whom wave their hands around in the air acting like they know something they don't. Too many MBA's and people running companies they know little to nothing about, and base their "practices" almost entirely off confirmation bias. Managers and owners are by their nature more prone to incompetant brattiness - humans like to think power = competance.

4. Software dev has become more like making music - everyone does it, very few get a record deal and make good money. Whether the music is 'good' isn't much of a relationship with having a job in it or not. Plenty of bad devs with good resumes.
What, if any, are the permanent consequences of being on puberty blockers from, say, 13-18?

I’d guess they’d be significant but that’s just a guess.
A significant number of people who identity as trans later return to their original gender identity.

Whatever the percentage of people who chose to do this, that situation doesn't actually change my point - that significant number of trans people exist and their situation is quite threatened.

And the way that you (and other) think that this is a "counter argument" is something of a demonstration that people making these points aim to threaten the existence of transpeople, which is why such points get a lot of flak.

Edit: Note, some number of people identifying as gay later chose to identify as straight. Is this a counter argument to gay people being a reality? Does that illustrate the problem with your point?
Isn't a mix of fat models and services best? Say for a user model you have first name, middle, and last name. You add a property "full_name" that joins those 3. Putting that logic in a service feels confusing and unintuitive.

On the other end, if you have a complex auth mechanism that needs to talk to several external APIs, putting that in a service feels natural. You're making remote API calls, possibly pulling in other models, and it's a clearly defined "business area".
> Language is defined by the people who speak it, not by some authority.

This may be true in case of English, but not necessarily in case of many national languages.
Or uploaders who have died and may have unlisted videos and linked to them in descriptions or comments.

I don't recall the creator, but I do recall a video series that used links in the videos that pointed to other videos for a basic quiz or choose your own adventure.
As many as are necessary for the coherence of society. They are welcome to enter into the open (mens) division of a sport. They are not welcome to enter the women's division, because they are not women. We already had this debate a few decades ago and decided women need their own sports divisions. I'm sorry that these people want very badly to play in the women's league, but they are not women, and so they should not be allowed in that league, for all the reasons that engendered the women's league in the first place.
Improving access to education is not enough.

You have to improve opportunity.

For example, I grew up extremely poor, and went to a small school. The most my parents knew about college was that I was going to go to one. Now I had the intelligence to get into just about any school I wanted, but I had no idea what/where those schools were. I also was unaware of how scholarships worked, or that I could have afforded most schools because we were poor. So I didn't apply to the few dream schools I knew of (MIT, Harvard, and Yale were the only big schools I knew about).

I applied and was accepted to two state schools in my region and went to one of those. My partner is appalled at the lack of opportunities I had growing up. No amount of money at the time would have fixed the situation, only moving to an area with better opportunities for me would have.
Just checked that there are 7 millions Jews in the US. That's a lot more than 1%. About 3 millions are Slavic people. Many millions are european-type Arabic people. They all look like white Americans and if they grew up in the US, they won't even have an accent. The number of "true north-european descendats" must be a lot lower, maybe 60% of white Americans. And this number is going downhill rapidly because Americans don't hesitate to mix with other races and nationalities. My point is that albedo of skin is a really poor predictor of ancestry, about as good as a coin toss.
> This smells like a security vulnerability for most setups.

Yes, but if you look around on some old FTP servers (like on the few still-extant mirror networks) you’ll find that some do actually let you CWD to the system /, and sometimes they even drop you there by default (so you have to CWD pub or whatever to get at the things you actually want).
Probably they just roll again. You can even implement that in a stored procedure.
Science has always been valueless for very long periods of time. Look at quantum physics. For decades, it was just observing a weird phenomenon. Then they invented transistors, diodes, lasers, and cheap lighting with it.
> We already allow people to do blowjobs for a living, it just has to be pornography instead of prostitution. Why is it OK in one case, but not the other?

Says you, who's we?
All these pro/against witch-hunts remind me of Hans Reiser [short] episode. When the Reiser saga was unfolding, there was a lot of support from people that identified with the "nerd" group. I remember reading so many theories on why "he couldn't have done it", how "it is completely normal to remove the passenger sit form your car", or to buy books on how to clean a crime scene...

Not saying I sway one way or another with Assange or McCafee... just that, as in Reiser's case, I am sure there's so much information we don't know that running to make an armchair judgement is most likely bound to get you to the wrong conclusion.
A velvet glove around what you just said is that it’s like you are a product owner, and the lawyer is a pure engineer.

They are the expert in implementing the business outcomes you want, but you and only you know all the context required to take the tradeoffs your lawyer articulates, and decide which tradeoffs to make.
I don’t think that’s quite accurate. Economically, there was less government imposed communitarianism. But American society itself wasn’t all that individualistic at the community level.
these are the projects I love to see. Open Source hardware and software. awesome
That appears to just be an updated version of the vendor's closed binaries for the modem. It doesn't seem to be open or possible to modify in any meaningful way.
Recursion has always been a lesser truth.

For instance in AI search programs in the 1970s real LISP programmers used non deterministic execution, but when they wanted to kvetch about BASIC winning the education market they talked about recursion.

One of the rules that the society of automotive engineers has is ‘no recursion’ for critical systems like engine controllers.
