Hah yes we did this at the last company I worked for to categorize shipping info from our freight company’s api to an excel spreadsheet. Mostly did it because we didn’t want to check email all the time and IT did not want to give us a vps to run it on.
CAN-SPAM is a law. If you violate it, you are penalized by the legal code. That's fulfills my definition of "illegal", but clearly not yours. Mind sharing your definition so we're on the same page?
> I could imagine the radiation being able to affect some of the weaker bonds in certain chemicals, breaking them,

Nope. Unless those bonds could break due to localised heating, that's not going to happen. Radio waves have lower per-photon energies than are required to break bonds (except really really weak ones, but those can barely be called bonds in the first place).

There was a bug in ghci (the GHC REPL) for a while which made it take exponential time to print the type of `id id id id id id id id id`. It used the linear representation for type-checking, but the pretty-printer was not implemented so cleverly.

Apparently that's been fixed. I can't confirm because that's not something I ever check the type of.

JuliaCon 2021 Talks
Most consumer Android phones come with Google Play Services installed by default. Note that that is a completely different thing than the Google Play Store. It's intentionally branded to be confusing and sound like it has something to do with applications. Google Play Services is an entire closed-source operating system living above the kernel, but has hooks all the way down, into every subsystem. It offers a ton of juicy APIs to make Android development "easier", but one of the things that it does (called Google Location Services, or GLS) is interpose between GPS and other ways of location and offer a location API to applications, becoming the location provider for the device. All requests for location go through it.

GLS has scary[1] privacy implications and you cannot uninstall it. You can disable most of the scary stuff it does by not agreeing to use "high accuracy" mode for location, aka "device only". You must "consent" to this data collection because Google's lawyers believe this consent dialog meets legal requirements for this data collection. Their verbiage is horribly vague and absolutely does not communicate what data collection you are agreeing to by enabling this mode. It calls this data "anonymous" but location data, particularly traces, is anything but anonymous. At the high resolution of GPS these days, it cannot be anonymized.

[1] by "scary", I actually mean absolutely dystopian.
I am not a banker either but, "a lot of those are professionals manipulating the market" isn't how I would characterize it. More like, a few of those are professionals, and the rest are more along the lines of newspaper boys. So many of my friends have huge sums of their savings in stonks and crypto are proudly ignorant of how any of these things work. So far their antics have worked out very well for them and they've received very aggressive returns, but I am honestly worried for them. Their success has reinforced a dangerous mixture of risk taking + ignorance.

How long can that be sustained? I am sure the few professionals on reddit are up at night sweating about this stuff and have escape hatches, but I am not so sure about the rest.
The sun is a blackbody radiator and does exactly what you think. However, RF from the sun basically only arrives at exactly one angle from the sky (or not at all, if it is night time). It does exactly what you describe, degrading SNR from signals in the same direction to the point of uselessness. If you've ever used satellite based services like television then you've probably experienced it. There is a long explanation here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2017-03-20/how-can-the-s...

> The period in which the Sun passes behind a geostationary satellite is brief — about 10 minutes at most according to Dr Carter — but the noise is enough to degrade or completely disrupt radio and television broadcasts, as well as satellite internet.
> But in this case it is obvious that the AI isn't writing the code - at least not all the time, it is instead choosing what to copy - verbatim.

I still don't see any problem with that. If it's larger sections (e.g. entire NON-TRIVIAL function bodies), those can be filtered or correctly attributed after inference. So that's just a technicality.

Smaller snippets and trivial or mechanical implementations (generated code, API calls, API access patterns) aren't subject to any kind of protection anyway.

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {

Lines like that hold no intellectual value and can be found in GPL'ed code. It can be argued that that's a verbatim reproduction, yet it's not a violation of any kind in any reasonable context.

Where do you draw the line and how would you be able to - automatically even! - decide what does and does not represent a significant verbatim reproduction?
Both of those things happen regardless of who formally pays the fee: one side of the transaction has a desirable good (apartment) the other side only has money to bargain with, so it's obvious from who's pocket the fee will come from. Many times the buyer would openly raise that argument in negotiations: "You know, I have all those fees to pay, can you lower the rent a bit?". It's not like sellers are completely oblivious to fees paid by a buyer.
Well, that's just your opinion, man.

Energy required to Elecrolyze the world's oceans.

Theoretical max efficiency: 13.173 MJ/kg of water.[1]

Water in the oceans: 1.35E21 kg [2]

Total energy needed to electrolyze the oceans: 1.77E22 MJ

Total energy recieved by the Earth from the sun per second: 4.3E14 MJ

Time required to elecroyize the oceans using the entire available output of the Sun on Earth at 100% total efficiency: 478.67 days

It is a very silly idea to think that we could accidentally wield many orders of magnitude more energy than humanity has ever harnessed in collective history without noticing.

They're not exactly intelligent. I've recovered a drug dealers phone from my airbnb. They use signal and coded language to send messages back and forth, but don't put a lock screen on the phone and leave pictures of their product in gallery.

It’s necessary in many markets IMO. Otherwise people would just spam applications at every apartment that satisfies their broad filters.
Most of them. "Ape strong" is a meme and I'd bet the people following it are going to be bagholders if they aren't already because they think a short squeeze is coming.

But a short squeeze is always coming, will it ever arrive? And if it does would they know? Or will they just keep saying it's coming?
I'm a huge fan of Rezi which has a very similar experience to my knowledge. They are able to reduce broker fee/rents because they can assure a reduced time where apartments are unrented.

> Some medical conditions carry prestige and others do not

This literally affects venture investment in the life sciences. I have heard from VCs “we don’t want to have to tell our LPs that we have XXX in our portfolio.” And “We invest in serious indications: cardio and cancer.”

The big institutionals don’t care: their LPs are typically institutions themselves and so just care about the nature of the business. But smaller funds with a bunch of individuals in the LP mix are more squeamish.

Plus it’s less exciting to talk about at parties.

Btw one thing I’ve been doing is keeping all notes with a person in a single document. It’s just easier to open up joesmith.txt instead of rooting around in the ten files (or searching across them) to find what I’m looking for. This approach is helpful when getting context on past meetings - I can skim notes from the most recent call instead of having to find and open the right file, then move back to the current one. Food for thought…

No there's not, for good reason. From a technical perspective, this is indistinguishable from an abusive spouse or oppressive government trying to block sites.
Perhaps it would be useful for competition to require media platforms provide content creators a way out. E.g. a mandatory "redirect to my new site" option.
I don't like the government, but I hate monopoly of the twitter ever more than I hate the existing government or their opposition or any coalition of them. I hate any single entity owning this much power. So government bending them a little is a good thing at least right now.
YouTube Premium has tens of millions of subscribers, tons of people use it. I use it so much that I would cancel Netflix before I would cancel YouTube Premium.
Agreed - I always use example.com as well.

Also worth noting that example.net, while not listed on the IANA page, is also reserved.
But there's no reason not to either - I suppose my point is, don't take too much as gospel and think about everybody's best "end-goals" and push or pull with or against the law as needed.

Intelligence != capable of socializing. You need both in order to be paid well. I think the belife that criminals are uninteligent is due to
1) Intelligent people recognizing that crime rarely has a positive expected profit

2) There might be more unintelligent people than people who are both intelligent and so incapable of socializing that they can't find work.
I think of this quote every single time I go through the security theater at every US airport.
And someone accepts it. Even if suggesting derivatives of licensed code is not a license infringement, then Copilot sure is a vector for mass license infringement by the people clicking "Accept suggestion". And those people are unable to know (without doing extensive investigation that completely nullifies the point of the tool) whether that suggestion is potentially a verbatim copy of some existing work in an incompatible license.
The name of one of the factors is "selection bias". The type of people willing to take the survey may be those that already feel strongly on the topic, meaning you get results that favor one or both extremes, with fewer in the middle. Or the survey delivery mechanism makes response from some population segments less likely:

Results collected purely online may not get as maney older people less comfortable with technology (although that's a dwindling group).

Results collected through email solicitation may not get as many younger respondents who don't use email as much.

A phone survey sent out during the day will miss many people who aren't home, which will skew the results by excluding many people who are already comfortable going out, shopping, back to work, etc and move results towards "permanent lockdown".
What makes you think the US gives a shit either? Companies have spent the last forty years moving manufacturing out of the country because it lets them profit a bit more. They don’t give a shit about climate change unless they can make more money off it. I’m all for bringing manufacturing back on-shore, but what makes you think the lobbyists will stop trying to undermine environmental regulations if we do?

I consider it propaganda to blame China for all its emissions, when how much of them are to build and manufacture junk for the west? No, raw emissions numbers are not “the only metric that matters” because we live in a complex world with a complex web of trade. Sure, China can and should do a much better job cutting emissions. Though if that causes production prices to go up, the American companies will just move production somewhere else that is further behind in environmental regulations.

Nobody in power gives a shit about the climate and emissions. The words you’re hearing from them don’t match their actions, and we in the US are nowhere near a sustainable level even if you ignore our outsourced energy usage.
This is a good idea! I've wanted to do something similar since I've made over 2000 test questions for my CS courses over the years. I think it could be great course/interview prep.

Generally, if your S-Corps income exceeds the FICA threshold (currently $142,800), you must first pay yourself $142,800 as FICA-taxable salary before you can pay yourself a dividend.

If your one-person S-Corp doesn't reach that level of income, all of its earnings should be paid as a salary subject to FICA.

Also...S-corps don't pay dividends. I don't know who told you that. S-Corps are pass-through entities, so the portion of income paid to an owner other than as a salary retains the character it had when the S-corp received it, meaning that ordinary income to the S-Corp...is also taxable ordinary income to the owner.

Importantly, this taxation applies whether the S-Corp actually send the earnings onward to its owners. S-Corps, like partnerships, may then distribute this already-taxed income to its owners then or at any point in the future, and it will be tax free, because the owners have already paid taxes on it.

Very few people legitimately use cryptocurrencies for their daily transactions. It's not really feasible. Getting money in, and getting money out to dollars, is where they can regulate it.

We have many examples throughout history where dumping large amounts (multiples) of money into an economy causes inflation. And to my knowledge, we have no examples to the contrary (ie, it being a mirage).

They've also dramatically increased the proportion and intrusiveness of those ads over the last year, taking advantage of a near-monopoly position and a captive audience.

> Losses tied to capital can be written off, but losses tied to labor cannot

An even better word here is 'expenses'. Businesses pay tax revenue net of expenses, people pay tax on revenue, and Propublica is shocked - shocked! - by what businesses can count as expenses.

I suppose there's an argument that standard exemption/deduction are an estimate of baseline expenses to sustain labor, and additional costs over that are consumption that shouldn't be allowed to be netted against revenue (labor income). Does one's _entire_ rent go toward sustaining their productive capacity, or does is some part of that accrue to personal enjoyment? Of course, for most workers, even the 12k deduction probably doesn't feel anywhere close to basic living expenses,

It is nice to imagine a fairer system that would allow the high cost of living in most US cities to be reflected in the treatment of labor income, but that sounds like even more complexity to add to the tax code.
However,

1) Most people on Coinbase are speculators, and...

2) Coinbase follows government regulation

...so it's not really much of a step towards "[having] a real impact on the ability to collect taxes and control money transfers."

I think Coinbase (and Robinhood) offer pretty good avenues towards...

> And increased regulation can simply kill it by inches so there's no sudden cliff to drop off of that gets people too upset.

...by doing something like blocking bank transfers/credit card transactions to offshore exchanges and blocking cryptocurrency transfers to random addresses by most users from Coinbase/Robinhood. That would kneecap the ability to use cryptocurrency to bypass government regulations but still allow the average Joe to speculate.
>I also believed that non-ionizing radiation doesn't cause chemical reactions. I also believed that generally chemical reactions would be required to have a negative effect on human biology.

These aren't true as a rule, but generally good as guidelines. Ionizing radiation gives way to widespread, molecule agnostic damage in molecular systems; it's powerful enough to pop pieces of molecules off. Ionizing energy is the equivalent of firing a light cannon to blow chunks off molecules; the damage is immediate, consistent, widespread and dangerous.

Non-ionizing radiation, by contrast, is absorbed selectively. A given wavelength will only be absorbed if it corresponds with the specific quantum of an excitation level of the target system. This means uptake of energy will be molecule specific; chromophores are examples of molecules specifically designed to take advantage of this; it's how we see.

Microwaves, for instance, are non-ionizing radiation. We know a surplus of microwave radiation can cook people through. It does this because microwaves are the right wavelength to vibrate the bonds in water. UV radiation is also considered non-ionizing, but DNA will absorb it, and the photochemical result of that absorption is the formation of Pyrimidine dimers (TT dimers). This direct damage to our genetic codes is the primary cause of skin cancer and is so dangerous that we have evolved an extensive set of molecular machines to excise and repair this specific problem.

So no, non-ionizing radiation is not uniformly safe and biologically inert. This isn't to say 5G is unsafe - remember things are wavelength and dose specific; it's just to say the reasoning "non ionizing never causes biological harm" is very wrong.

Thanks for the great reply, with some new thoughts, but also reminding me of some thoughts I kept before but apparently forgot recently, argh. In particular, that individual people are just a tiny percentage polluter, and the main offenders are various industries (where the oil ones in particular purposefully shifted the blame in people's minds to individuals via strong PR). In fact, I long didn't see point in changing my lifestyle, as my "carbon footprint" (with even this being creative PR to shift blame to individuals) and other individual pollution is not really relevant quantitively speaking. Only recently I switched my thinking, in that although individuals' waste is technically irrelevant, displaying caring-about-nature actions and attitude can hopefully influence other people and thus create a "political climate" where politicians, to try and please people, start caring more about nature and as a result hopefully start pushing industries to switch away from polluting energy sources etc. Argh, I wish it was all simpler to explain and rally people behind.

You think climate science being driven by vague interests from every boogeyman the right gives you is more credible than the trillion dollar a year fossil fuel industry funding climate change denialism?

None of what you said is sourced. You are not a climatologist, nor are you a meteorologist. Unless you have some credential that allows you to speak from a position of authority, your words have zero value unless you have the sources to back them up. All of the science backs up climate change. Politicians and “tHe mEdIa” don’t have any interest at all in advancing policies to mitigate climate change beside a personal interest in enjoying a livable climate in the latter part of this century, as shown by how little they actually pay attention to this issue.
