I'm confused by unemployment. Doesn't the company essentially pay it? The employee also gets taxed when their paycheck is deducted for unemployment insurance every month. Did they get this money back if they never use it? We know the state gov is involved somehow, because they extended programs, but how?

I can't figure out if it is the company, yourself or the state, or a mix of all three involved in unemployment. And does it make sense to use the state you physically live in or the state where the company is?

I think with remote work and different states offering different amounts, this can all be gamed for maximum benefits.
Using interfaces, you easily get polymorphism as well:

type FooI interface{ baz(); qux(); }
foos := []FooI{&Foo{}, &Bar{}}

Regarding overriding, you're right that it doesn't work out of the box. However, you can make "extensible classes" with just a little boilerplate:

type Foo struct {FooI this}
func (f *Foo) baz() { println("Foo.baz()") }
func (f *Foo) qux() { f.this.baz() }
func NewFoo() Foo { f := Foo{}; f.this = &f; return f }

Now, to extend Foo:

type Bar struct {Foo}
func (b *Bar) baz() { println("Bar.baz()") } //the override
func NewBar() Bar { b := Bar{}; b.Foo.this = &b; return b } //this would work even if we didn't override baz

func main() {
foo := NewFoo()
bar := NewBar()
foos := []FooI{&foo, &bar}
for _,f := range foos {
f.qux()
} //prints Foo.baz(), then Bar.baz()
}

Since best practice even in C++ or C# or Java is to only allow inheritance for classes that are designed with it in mind, and since Go anyway has lots of other boilerplate, this shouldn't be unbearable if required.

In some cases, yes. See Software Verification [1] for some pointers.

It's massively more expensive, so you'll see it used in aerospace, railway signalling, some vehicles (trains, components of some cars), power generation and distribution, industrial processes.

Sometimes also in consumer products that have long warranties and are extremely expensive to recall/repair, like washing machines.

Just yesterday was a post on a formally-verified C compiler, used by Airbus (and others) [2]

That's not what I'm saying. But sure, if you think you can write smart contracts without bugs for all means don't set a limit.

I'm saying you should define a ceiling for your smart contract so in case of a bug, no transactions over that ceiling go forward.

So if you have a stupid bug that causes you to transfer 1BTC instead of 0.001BTC you don't lose all your money.
its been at least the last 10 years like this, since the last economic crisis.
While yes, "the internet" and "www" are different systems, the latter built on top of the former, in practice "the internet" and "www" are one in the same. When we're talking - culturally - about problems with the internet, we mean the problems with "www".
That's a pretty broad question, especially if you live in an area without an established Chinatown. If you do, it should be easy enough to go there and scope it out. As far as restaurants go, don't be afraid to ask the servers about this. You could also seek out specific dishes. I like to look for a place that has dry friend green beans (or gan bian si ji dou), chongqing chicken, three cup chicken, congee, dandan noodles or mapo tofu on the menu. Also, don't just look for a "Chinese restaurant", look for a "dim sum restaurant", a "hand drawn noodle restaurant" or a "Sichuan restaurant", etc.

If you can't find a decent restaurant, you could try to make stuff on your own. Search foursquare for "Asian supermarket", it will likely carry real Chinese ingredients even if it is primarily Vietnamese or Korean. As far as what to cook, I think https://omnivorescookbook.com/ always comes up with something pretty good. I also swear by the Mission Chinese cookbook. While some of those recipes aren't exactly authentic, they are close enough (and the author explains the ways they differ, like they have a recipe for kung pao pastrami - you're not going to find pastrami in China, but the kung pao part is pretty close).

China is also a huge place that has many regional variations. Just like BBQ in Texas is different from BBQ in Eastern North Carolina, it's hard to say what is or isn't authentic in terms of Chinese cuisine, or what is authentic to a particular regions, etc. I'm sure they're arguing about it over there, too.
Well, China is an interesting place. With the right gov contacts it can be very productive. Much more open for me than sbir grants and Eu grants. And I know several people who got sbir 2 grants and they told me how they got it and told me not to waste my time applying.
I think c struct is missing alignment attribute? This idea has been explored in flatbuffers, capnproto and probably others.
I'm not the one who decided to name them "smart contracts" instead of "programmable money". Not that I think the latter term makes sense...
I don’t have any specific. But I imagine that rumors about illegitimate heirs would have been one in order to get access to or deny power.

Also Ancient Rome and demonizing political opponents (some the depravity ascribed to some of the emperors were exaggerations).
Unfortunately there's this idea that functional programming is just about using lambdas for everything. For me, proper functional style is just about decoupling business logic from state and side effects, and this can still be done with idiomatic OOP code.
In a previous lifetime not so long ago, I was paid to find vulnerabilities in exchange infrastructure --- order routers, match engines, FIX gateways, all that stuff. When I was getting started, any interesting finding was super exciting. "This is a billion-dollar vulnerability! Suck it, Mark Dowd!"

Then I learned about out-trades. In reality, these heavily automated markets screw up (or, rather, customers of these markets screw up) somewhat regularly. Surprise: one of the reasons lots of humans work both at the exchanges and at companies that program directly to them is that mistakes happen, and are often resolved not by code but by hashing things out between cooperating blobs of electrified fat tissue. Gross, I know!

Obviously, there are big screwups where the rules coded into the algorithm are the last word. But those rules aren't always the final word, and, more importantly, the rules themselves are easily changed when the electric meat blobs want them to.
I realize they may not advertise but they also sell through resellers... who at least from my google searching [1] do appear to advertise this product (delicious as it is) very heavily...

Yeah, it seems like the only way to guarantee it doesn't exist (rather than that it simply hasn't been catalogued) would be to draw something impossible -- which seems less interesting than drawing something possible.
They wrote about losing a deep, years-long archive of video clips. That sounds a lot like they had no backups, not just losing the published ones.
There are no monthly audits. They have "attestations" which are not the same thing.
I think they way they peg their value to a dollar is interesting, because there are so many different strategies now.

Some are via reserve dollars, some via collateral based on an oracle, some via collateral not based on an oracle, some are tightly coupled, and some are a bit looser.
I agree with everything you said.

Only two comments:

(1) I only want to emphasize that at every stage, we had choices. Network effects are powerful, perhaps even irresistible, but still subject to free choice.

(2) Spam and blacklists... that's a tougher thing. But there are plenty of options (like fastmail, I think) that never violated anyone's privacy. Most of us still use gmail.

I should clarify, because I kinda took the coward's way out with all the "we" stuff: I use Gmail, Facebook, YouTube, Netflix, Amazon, and even use an iPhone and MacBook despite all the limitations and lack of freedoms that come with every single one of them. I choose them freely, which says a lot about how much I think I value freedom versus how much I actually do in practice.
Things are already moving this direction with adoption of network virtualization solutions and overlays becoming the norm in corporate data centers.

Yeah, the classic example is the original binary search algorithm. It had an overflow bug that went undetected for two decades: https://thebittheories.com/the-curious-case-of-binary-search...

It's an incredibly simple algorithm and still got missed. Smart contracts have no chance.
Obamacare was widely derided by many Democrats as a worst-of-both-worlds plan when the public option was scraped.
Since games are basically global these days (since the Japanese version must work with the European version and must work with the USA version for online play), its a blanket decision that applies globally.
The comment I replied to implied that Maker and USDC are connected beyond USDC being one of many collateral currencies for DAO, which I don't believe is the case, but feel free to correct me if I'm indeed uninformed.

edit: From someone above https://share.streamlit.io/tadzz/maker_dai_collateralization...

Each DAI is over collateralized, and backed by more ETH than USDC.
I'm not sure of the etymology here, but "extremist" could also denote someone who uses extreme measures to achieve their goals. By this definition, someone who wants complete redistribution of wealth, but aims to achieve that by voting for like-minded people would be less of an extremist than someone who wants basic workers' rights, but will murder employers.

I feel that this definition is closer to how "extremist" is reasonably used, it's probably pointless to argue, since most people seem to use the word as just another generic pejorative. Oh well.
I'll preface by saying I'm glad Windows Defender doesn't do this automatically, but there are security software suites which do provide some protection against cryptoware but at the cost of performance. They tie into the write commands at the OS level and cache the changes while it watches the behavior. If it thinks the actions are probably malicious, it locks out those flagged processes from being able to make any additional file changes and rewinds all the changes those processes have made.

I've yet to actually have it work in in actuality (I have never experienced a ransomware attack either professionally or personally) but I've definitely experienced secure delete programs attempt to do a low level overwrite with random data get interrupted by such systems. I once told sdelete.exe to wipe an entire directory. It furiously ran, did a bunch of disk IOPS, halted a minute or two into the process due to a permissions error, and all my files were fine. A second or two later the security software notified me of a cryptolocker infection it prevented and happily showed me the command I had entered moments before.

Its no free lunch though. IOPS performance is a little lower and there's more CPU/RAM usage per IOPS when the protection is on.
> by hiding the password to your cryptowallet inside a safe, or using one of the various incantations of writing your password on a post-it note.

This is the scariest bit about crypto by far and that I will not deny. This is why whilst I don't trust banks, they do have big safes with locked boxes in. Using these with shamir backups is what protects my assets, and worst case scenario my private key is also split in two and engraved in two seperate countries.

If it's ever at the point where I can't access any of these, there's bigger shit going on in the world.
> Has anyone else noticed that most complaints like this about Youtube's moderation fail Hanlon's razor?

Yes, and it drives me bonkers because everyone who makes these kinds of complains tend to like the narrative that YouTube is 100% hellbend on just being bad because Google Is Bad (tm)
Agreed 100%: it's a basic economic problem- climate change is a classic tragedy of the commons scenario, largely caused by fossil fuels being too cheap, with easy-to-dismiss externalities.

Only political intervention (carbon taxes, green subsidies) could cause a decline in use.
> I'd wager most ethically minded buyers are wealthy enough to prefer buying free range organic chicken breast than lab grown meat.

I would easily pay more for lab grown chicken. Partly because I believe it's even more ethical, partly because I really don't trust so-called "free range organic" chicken (I already buy it when I can, but I expect the difference is minuscule).
Technically, I don't see why it would be impossible. Seems like it is incredibly unlikely.
> But given the monthly audits conducted, "it's not" is not very likely to happen at all. The auditor would have to be actively lying or misrepresenting for USDC and Gemini both for something like that to happen.

USDC has regular attestations, not audits. It's an important distinction.
Why?

No one read Chinese in USA anyway. People are quite ignorant here. Had little appetite for alternative views, let alone content written in the most difficult language on earth...
> it works, but its slow, clunky, and error prone.

Interesting assessment. I use it almost daily, and I have no issue with it whatsoever (macOS <-> iOS <-> iPadOS). Sync works absolutely flawless. UI is not modern and it's a bit slow with Rosetta, but stable and fast enough to add and edit cards. Copy and paste of images works ... stats are okay. And, the most important part, the algorithm just works well for me.

tl;dr: I love it.
We already have IPv6.

The only things broken on the internet are smartphones and closed IoT firmware.
> Companies can ask for a grant of up to €2.5 million, or a combination of a grant with an equity investment, ranging from €500,000 to €15 million, with returns on the investment to go back into the program. "The huge demand clearly shows the interest of the community for this kind of support," a Commission official said.

You bet. 2.5 million in free money is bound to attract interest...
As I wrote, I didn't find the "drying out" step to be necessary. If you are patient enough you can process the nixtamal into dough with only a tiny bit of water added.

Edit: I don't have a wet grinder so I can't compare to that. It is smooth enough to get the pocket though.
It 'may' decrease carrying capacity of highways. Also, induced demand is a real observed phenomenon with roadways. The more capacity there is, the more people will drive. Paradoxically, when capacity is removed, traffic will often just dry up. Highway agencies know this but still use traffic models to justify expansion that are self-fulfilling projections.
Using the government as social proof
Extremist means more than simply holding an unpopular and unusual viewpoint, but rather that extreme measures should be used. Believing say abortion is murder isn’t extremist, believing people should therefore kill abortion doctors is.
> Couldn't you make a similar argument then that when representing English text, 'A' should be 1?

It actually is!

>>> hex(ord('A'))
'0x41'
>>> hex(ord('a'))
'0x61'

The five-bit intuitive numerical mapping of the letter is prefixed with the bits 10 (for uppercase) or 11 (for lowercase). A similar thing happens with digits, where the four-bit intuitive numerical mapping of the digit is prefixed with the bits 011.

For letters, this leads to a "hole" at 0x40 and 0x60. Instead of making the letters zero-based (that is, 'A' being 0x40 and 'a' being 0x60), they decided to keep the intuitive mapping (which starts at 1), and fill the "hole" with a symbol.
Health insurance is a commercial industry. There is absolutely nothing socialized about it. The CEOs of these companies are getting paid tens of millions of dollars. They are INCs. They are not socialized in any way shape or form.

They do have regulatory capture, mostly given to them by the Democratic Party.
not true. PACs cannot donate more than a pretty low limit to candidates.
I prefer EU to just say 'We give up' LOLL
2-D syntax everywhere. It's a 2-dimensional binary. Suddenly the intermediate layers between binary and the higher level langs we work with day in and day out have the same form.

For example, 2d langs for HTML, CSS, JSON, others:

A 2D lang that replaces Markdown: http://scroll.pub/

You can have 2D langs for TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, et cetera. A grid is all you need.

I figured the math out 8 years ago, https://medium.com/space-net, and slowly getting there. Still in early days, but good annual growth rate. I'd be surprised if it doesn't happen. The math makes too much sense.
However, you have to say you're looking for work to count as unemployed. If I get $300 to say so, then I might say I'm looking for work (and genuinely look for it) -- but if I no longer get any benefit (or much less) from saying so, then I might not bother with all the (tedious paternalist) paperwork to get counted as 'unemployed'
I just laughed for a full thirty seconds.

What's most interesting about that is somebody actually bothered to put it together.
I found this better than the nothing.
Oracle allows (not sure if still true) alphanumerics and _, $, and #, and some websites just mirrored those rules. Oh and by alphanumerics I'm not even sure that includes anything outside of 7-bit ASCII.
I would actually disagree. Unless a video has gone specifically out of its way to say so, very often a big debunking video will cause a bump in the original video's views, which is sort of a win win for YT
As an omnivore, I love seitan - it's pretty common in Chinese and Japanese cuisine. I wish more vegetarian places in the US would use it, but it seems that only tofu has crossed over, which is a shame, because tofu generally doesn't have the texture and bulk of meat, but rather of soft, non-meltable cheese, and is not even as filling as that.

Don’t lie is very difficult to determine though. The vast majority of things are unknown or unknowable. Did Epstein kill himself? No one knows.
> Can there ever be 'bug free' software?

Sure. And if you look at sufficiently small-scale pieces of software, there is probably a lot. As scope of a software system increases, the probability of bugs rapidly approaches unity, though.

Consent from the group being objectified. It is the same reason that a person who belongs to a specific minority group is usually given free reign to tell jokes about that group while a person outside that minority isn't. It doesn't matter that the character in the joke isn't a real person.

Keep in mind that modularity is a complex notion: the space of components can be rather non-trivial, in that the dependency graph can have a pretty interesting topology - if you include, in this notion, for instance, inheritance, generics (templates), and all the related usage patterns that have been invented over the past 40 years. (I believe Modula and Oberon both failed to address this complexity, having restricted the programmer's understanding of the concept to a very basic use case.)
A better analogy might be something like upgrading roads with the newly liberated fourth dimension; so mere three dimensional Model Ts - that people will try to use no matter your protest - are very unlikely to end up in the right place. (And not just Model Ts, but the entire twentieth century and a bit's worth of vehicles.)

Is there speculation, to match my own, that a fatal flaw in a stablecoin such as this was placed there on purpose ?

Probably not in this case as one wouldn't "liquidate" the stablecoin at merely $250k of assets ... but wouldn't this be a viable (albeit, nefarious) mechanism to defraud crypto investors ?
Taking up the OP's side because it's interesting...

Some kinds of groupthink are bad (like making an anti-vaccine subreddit that only ever shows articles about vaccine-related industrial accidents, instead of a vaccine subreddit that shows people a truly representative sampling of vaccine knowledge), but other kinds are arguably good (not seeing 4chan nasty stuff on /r/reallycutekittensandpuppies.) Only some group content coordination is filter bubbling, while other times it's filtering.
Get rid of limited TLDs, making any combination of something.somethingelse a registerable domain.
No it’s not disingenuous, in a pedantic reading of it he rambles about injecting it inside and cleaning right after similarly musing about bringing UV light inside the body.

The result is people drink (a typical way people bring things inside their body ) bleach (one of the most common household disinfectants).

Then a couple months later biden recounts it as trump telling people to drink bleach.

To my mind it sounds excessively pedantic to rate that as mostly false. The claim matches the direct outcome of trumps words, and was close to but not the exact terminology used. In my opinion it’s far too pedantic to call that mostly false rather than mostly true.

But okay were going to have different opinions on that matter, let’s compromise.

I think we can both agree it’s completely accurate to say that evidence suggests trump’s musings about disinfectants as a corona virus treatment on National tv led Americans to drink bleach.

And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you're going to test that too. Sounds interesting," the president continued.

"And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?

"So it'd be interesting to check that."
From the government though?
The economic reason for brands is exactly to develop trust.

But also (and quite possibly more importantly), there is a lot of government oversight and regulation when it comes to food.

And also also, people could sue for fraud.
I mean, that’s not nothing. Maybe not revolt, but organize, pressure sitting politicians and encourage better candidates to run.

Americans vilify their politicians and then expect that somehow really “good” people will get into that profession. I don’t get it…
