>Well, yes. The average daily trading volume in the US bond market is in the order of 0.8-1.0 trillion, which means 4 trillion over a span of several months is nothing.

I was talking about 4 trillion net. In other words, 4 trillion dollars worth of outflows. 1 trillion dollars worth of trades per day doesn't tell much because it could very well be people selling bonds and then buying other bonds. On the other hand, google says that the US bond market is worth $46 trillion. That's almost 9% pumped into the market. If all that cash stayed in the bond market and didn't leak out, you'd expect bond yields to drop by 9%[1], which I don't see happening.

[1] bonds are essentially IOUs. They have fixed returns, which means the more you pay for them, the lower your yield is. For instance, if you bought a bond that's worth $105 on maturity (1 year from now) for $100, your yield is 5%. If the fed comes in and pumps a bunch of money into the market such that $100 bond is now worth $108.69, then your yield is negative (you paid more for a bond than what it will pay back).

>Inflation doesn't come about as a result of the Fed pumping asset prices up, this is a misunderstanding on your part.

In the technical sense that inflation = CPI by definition, then yes you're right. But that's not what I was arguing for, which is that fed pumping money has inflated the market.

Ha! Well, I think a lot of people copy code from StackOverflow verbatim once at least - including me.

Of course it turned out the code I'd blindly inserted into my project contained a number of bugs. In one or two cases, quite serious ones. This, even though it was the accepted answer.

It was probably more effort to fix up the code I'd copy pasta'd than write it from scratch. Since then I've never copied and pasted from StackOverflow verbatim.
Several neural networks, lots of hard work in data labelling, more hard work in data synthesis, even more hard work in dataset curation.. et voila!

Source: it was me with the team who did all of that.
Why is this downvoted... It's simply the truth.
Is it? In my dayjob I'm solving technical problems with technical means.

World hunger is not a technical problem. You won't solve it with technical means. If you think you can, you have already lost the fight.

Climate change is not a technical problem. You won't solve it with technical means. If you think you can, you have already lost the fight.

And so on, and so forth. Technical means can help solving certain components needed for the overall solution. These are then technical (sub)problems though. For example, how to store more energy in a battery, or how to grow certain crops with less water. But the overall problems are social in nature. People need to understand that world hunger is a distribution problem. That one is easier to solve with certain (technical) tools available, but that won't be enough. People need to understand that we can't use more natural resources than get replenished. Not a technical problem. If only the tools get better, people will find new ways to be wasteful. Etc etc.
Exactly. With Pinephone, you will not be able to switch on your microphone while receiving a phone call, unlike with Librem 5.
Bonus-- if you pull it off I think it technically qualifies as a quine. :)
No problem! I think an option to disable "auto-save" will just fix this for me. Because I always have to "wait" to press Run. I would rather wait after pressing Run.
> IP has always rubbed me as preoccupied with protecting a past instead of forging a future.

You are right that IP law is fundamentally about time. A more nuanced way to think about it is that IP law provides a reliable framework to amortize the cost of information creation.

Intellectual property is an unusual kind of good in that it:

1. Has extremely high fixed cost.

2. Has near-zero marginal cost.

3. Once the fixed cost is paid, anyone could become a seller for zero fixed cost and near-zero marginal cost.

For example, I've spent the past six years of my life writing a book. That's a pretty high fixed cost. Once I've finished polishing it off, it costs me virtually the same to sell 1,000,000 eBook copies as it does for me to sell one. But, also, it would also cost you nearly nothing to take a copy of that eBook, start selling it, and keep all of the profit. You could even undercut me since you didn't pay the fixed cost anyway so have no expenses to recoup.

Copyright law gives me a window of time where I can use the low marginal cost and protection from #3 to recoup the time investment I made in #1. Without that protection, the day my eBook goes on sale, someone can buy a copy and immediately start reselling their own copies of it as some dirt cheap price.

In a world where that happens all the time, many people would be simply unwilling or unable to invest that high fixed cost and those goods wouldn't exist at all.

There are interesting arguments to be had over how long/large this window of protection and exclusivity should be. But I think no window at all would be disastrous.

> An effective monopoly over customers should be won through superior products in the marketplace

That presumes a world where the marketplace has no influence over which products exist at all. Sure a marketplace that sells my book for $20 and $1 gives customers the choice and they can take the $1. That's clearly superior: same great book, much lower price. But a marketplace where I spend years writing only to have someone else profit from my book is a marketplace where the book doesn't exist as a product at all because I wouldn't write it.

(You might argue that people should be creating information products out of the goodness of their hearts and not for financial gain. That's a nice sentiment, but the consequence of it is that it means that only the rich participate in creative culture since only they have the luxury to create in their free time.)
> They’re public officials

They're not elected, nor are they "public persons." There are plenty of regular folks working for the city, including analysts, beat cops, secretaries, and so on.

This is extremely reductive.
That's what they are supposed to be. But you end up with Apple challenging a company's trademark, where the company has a recipe app with a pear fruit for a logo.

I see. It would make sense to self-host this video.

Will forward it to product guys
Sounds reasonable. BTW, after a lifetime of being a Democrat, I registered as a Libertarian last year. Just my opinion, but the USA would be so much better off with 4 or 5 active political parties. Democrat and Republican parties both serve the same two constituencies: wealthy people and large corporations.

I have 55 US patents and I have written 20 books, so you would think that I would support IP laws, but in general I don't. I do like Creative Commons licenses and for software GPL/AGPL, favoring them slightly over MIT and Apache (which I also use).

Even with the obvious high level of corruption in the USA, I am hopeful that we can have a fair society with equal opportunity for all young people, peace, high productivity, and social justice. It is up to us as individuals on how we want to contribute to that effort.
You do realize that cops -- especially bad cops -- change departments all the time.

I think you're essentially describing Trademark by another name. In the case of Coke there is a distinct styling and branding they use (red cursive lettering being a big component) as part of the brand they use to represent their company name. There are bound to be a whole bunch of edge cases here and so creating a registry process for trademarks to remove any danger from being an accidental look-alike actually ends up protecting small businesses.

Those rights being saleable and licensable honestly just strikes me as common sense because CocaCola might want to empower regional bottling plants to produce their product without putting those bottling plant subsidiaries in the awkward position where they refuse to operate because at any moment CocaCola could step in and essentially seize their entire business since, contractually, there is no method to allow CocaCola to lease out the rights to make such styled bottles removing the protection from bottling plants.

Lastly, CocaCola as a brand definitely has a large value to the company - so if that brand is not saleable how are you going to quantify that value and allow a transferrence of the value of it between different shareholders, holding companies, or company owners/executives.

I also think you're oversimplifying damages - CocaCola could suffer a reputation loss due to CocoCola including arsenic in their product and causing public confusion. I think these portions of the law are pretty complicated - yes - but they're that way because it's a complicated subject.
An organization like, say, Consumer Reports? I assume that if they're selected by and accountable to me, I could choose to use a competitor organization, right? Otherwise they're neither chosen by me nor accountable to me, after all...
It's impossible to automate checking for code license violations.

If you and I write the exact same 10 lines of code, we both have independent and valid copyrights to it. Unlike patents, independent derivation of the same code _is_ a defense for copyright.

If I write 10 lines of code, publish it as GPL (but don't sign a CLA / am not assigning it to an employer), and then re-use it in an MIT codebase, I can do that because I retained copyright, and as the copyright holder I can offer the code under multiple incompatible licenses.

There's no way for a machine to detect independent derivation vs copying, no way for the machine to know who the original copyright holder was in all cases, and whether I have permission from them to use it under another license (i.e. if I email the copyright holder and they say 'yeah, sure, use it under non-gpl', it suddenly becomes legal again)...

It's not a problem computers can solve 100% correctly.
It hasn't been AI the entire time. It's borderline fraud, tbh.
> I'd imagine this would turn into a "whoever has more money wins".

That's not too far from the libertarian ethos.
I don't mean "red" as in Native American, and I wouldn't use Native American icons. I mean, when you peel back the skin, we all bleed the same color. Even albinos do.

The point is, once you move past the skin, all our blood looks alike. We all share that.

(I agree, though, that some are likely to insist on taking offense. Also, I note that albinos might have a case to complain about non-albinos who are called "white"...)
The text, once written, belongs to the reader, not the author, and therefore we might liberate the text.
It won't change anything. This isn't to do with facebook per-se, you'd just get "unlinked" from whatever arbitrators or aggreggators of a decentralized alternative exist, and still be labeled a social outcast and a conspiracy theorist. It's not a technology problem, rather it's one of imbeciles.

It also exists on HN. There is a bevvy of topics we are not allowed to discuss here because dang will point to some arbitrary guidelines saying how "that's not allowed here" and ban you. It's the same shit everywhere.

Basically, the moment you step outside of the given narrative and what is and isn't allowed to be questioned, you should have zero (or less than zero, actually) expectation of having a platform where you can voice your concerns, and heaven forbid that your online persona be linked with your personal details, because if it is, you are in so much deep shit it's not even worth it for most people to utter certain words.
We’re all in the spectrum. That’s why it’s called a spectrum. :-)
As a kid we didn't have a good run with pets so it's just easier to say "no" to owning animals and move on with a clear conscience.

Having said that, I do find myself always playing devil's advocate with myself: "But how can your conscience be clear when millions of abandoned pets are being put to sleep in animal shelters? So it's everyone else's job to deal with that is it? You would deny your children the joy of owning a cute little doggo woggo?" and to that nascent neurofractal I say, get in line, the CBT will get to you eventually.

So I dunno, I don't want to come across as being down on people who've made a decision to own pets, it's possible to overthink things and underthink things. I know many pet owners and the vast majority are kind and caring. I think it comes with the territory. Some have been more domineering and lord over their creatures like a ruthless dictator and I think that says a lot about a person, but I digress...

I pretty much agree with everything you just said, and I pretty much kill every plant I touch as well. Brown thumb gang!
> Assume they’re advocating for some sort of arbitration system.

Without IP laws, how would one party force the other into arbitration? Or to be more specific, if I spend two years writing an excellent novel but Random House legally makes all the money off it it with a pirate edition, why would they enter arbitration with me? They'd just say "get lost," and laugh all the way to the bank.
Obviously publishing cryptographically verified source data is not what intel agencies do. Wikileaks did that.
I can't speak for the definitions applied by LP of Colorado specifically but the general difference between real property and intellectual monopolies as they're currently applied is that any and all claims of real property are demonstrated through private contract and territorial defense. Intellectual monopolies necessitate the use of government force as a carrot for inventors and as a stick for everyone else (unless everything was done through blockchain).
Ok, but why do you think they are wrong? Your first sentence isn't enough to tell me.

An anecdote is a data point, but it's only one, and I've got my own.

I have seen a car on fire by the side of the road, and I've also owned a car with a history of recalls for issues with the fuel injection that caused fires for some owners. I've also heard of (read about) people who had fires that started under the hood while driving.

Another point is that while sometimes old cars have messed up wiring either because of design issues or amateurs messing with it, on the whole, I'm more confident it's still working as designed than my home, especially when I'm driving something in the 0-10 year range.

My home will be used indefinitely, and I don't know for sure what people may have done to the wiring over several decades before I lived in it. But I've seen some stuff.
The rampant censorship is doing a lot more to radicalize me than any meme I've ever seen shared.
Where is the line between 1 & 2? And how can it be re-drawn in a way that prevents it from simply being eroded again?
Yes trauma causes long term issues, that is by the definition of the word “trauma”.

A joke and and a consequence of learning how to deal with it in the future will not cause trauma: an average child have thousands experiences like this during growing up, if they were traumatic, humanity would extinct from suicide already.

It is repeated consistent bullying may leads to problems. That’s why I said a child need to learn to deal with it.
Nice!

In my childhood I took apart a broken WalkMan and discovered if I connected a random ~8" loudspeaker driver in the tape head's place, I could eavesdrop on my siblings and parents from across the house by placing the speaker against the walls or floor, complete with volume control and everything.

It was incredibly sensitive, and infuriating to learn how much everyone was constantly lying and talking behind eachother's backs at that age.
I second these questions. I use the Greek yogourt from a local dairy shop as starter and the results are amazing, but I have never been able to use my yogourt as starter for the next batch, no matter how fresh it is.
Maybe make this a blockchain project instead. Videos of cops doing bad things should be decentralized, non-deletable, and optionally anonymous.
> not post videos of cops, which is unconstitutional

Just to be clear, you're not allowed to post videos of plenty of things (Area-51, a meeting between the Joint Chiefs, closed sessions in Congress, etc.). But you're right that you're allowed to record videos of cops in public[1]. I think the law in question is about personally-identifiable information.

How can we couple this with carbon sequestration?

Use byproducts (sodium, chloride, calcium, etc) as feed stock for useful compounds. eg Phosgene COCl2 is a valuable industrial product.

Create artificial salt water marshes, which are pretty good at carbon capture.

Everyone's trash is someone else's gold. People are clever. They can find good use for the salt.
I feel like this is implied or should be. Even if not explicit, you should know you can't get unlimited software updated into eternity which is what I believe you're saying omission of an expiration date means.
They aren't trying to force outcomes. "The interview process, while not perfect, also tries to erase bias by forcing gender and racially-neutral terms in interview writeups."

Its easy to boost your outcomes if that's what you want. You just specifically hire people of some race.
Going through all of the work to create the site, and providing two social media accounts and a Discord invite link without setting up privacy, verification, and anti-harassment policies seems like a choice. Creating just about everything but those things seems a lot less like negligence.

Like other filial / familial support laws, there are limits based on the ability to pay.
Seems like you have a lot invested in personal smears. What motivates you?
Its interesting - we sometimes think of HOAs as being overly restrictive but if you read the charters for the original colonial settlements in the US, their HOA charters governed every aspect of life for the residents. These companies, such as the Virginia Company, were very much private, for profit, development companies.

"In addition to survival, the early colonists had another pressing mission: to make a profit for the stockholders of the Virginia Company... The Company plastered street corners with tempting broadsheets, published persuasive articles, and even convinced the clergy to preach of the virtues of supporting colonization. Before the Company was dissolved, it would publish 27 books and pamphlets promoting the Virginia venture.

To make shares more marketable, the Virginia Company changed its sales pitch. Instead of promising instant returns and vast profits for investors, the Company exploited patriotic sentiment and national pride."

"John White continued to seek funding for a colony. On 19 March 1627/8, the Council for New England issued a land grant to a new group of investors that included a few from the Dorchester Company. The land grant was for territory between the Charles River and Merrimack River that extended from "the Atlantick and westerne sea and ocean on the east parte, to the South sea on the west parte."[21] The company to whom the grant was sold was styled "The New England Company for a Plantation in Massachusetts Bay".[22] The company elected Matthew Cradock as its first governor and immediately began organizing provisions and recruiting settlers."

On the flip side, there are active proposals in Nevada for community associations that self-govern - replete with police, fire, school system and their own digital currency:

"For this to happen, Mr Berns says a new model of local government is needed in Nevada. This government would have powers to raise taxes, enforce the law, and administer public services such as schools, utilities and transport."

No-one's "feelings", whatever that entails, are hurt, and we're not friends.

I recommend not making any more false statements.
I don't think you need to make conspiratorial allegations about the info being judged "dangerous" to explain it.

It simply got politicized just as masks got politicized. The more one side advocates it the more the other side discredits it.

Just another data point.

I had great delivery with zoho for year even use their free plan. They used to offer SMTP/IMAP on their free tier few years ago and continue to granfathering those my account.

If you like consistent UI then no one can beat gmail. Even fastmail/protonmail/outlook cannot beat gmail in UI/UX to me.

Stay away from iCloud is my advice. Their proofpoint spam filtering is the worst to deal with. Lots of people are going to have trouble reach iCloud inbox.

Anything but not iCloud. That isn't their primary business and consider level of Apple support and randomly ban/block people out of iCloud(you will find some here), I would advice against using them.

Give zoho I tried. They are very reliable, their spam filtering isn't as good as gmail so sometime legitimate emails go to Spam but that's a problem with any mail provider. Time to time you have to train spam system. Especially if you got a lot of email from people with a new domains email you first time. New domains that are created within 7 days and send out email are more likely to be flagged.
You can setup a simple trust with the right form/software, and a visit to your bank for notarization. I don't know if a revocable living trust would protect your heirs against healthcare shakedowns, and it would likely depend on the state. But if the current corrupt system continues much longer, I can see irrevocable trusts becoming popular to protect yourself even while alive.
