I'm always suspicious of just throwing money at a problem, particularly in things like open source where money isn't always the motivator and can often be a corrupting influence. In some cases this will reduce the ability of genuinely well-intentioned people to participate, simply because they don't have the money up front, and for well-funded organizations the money would have to be quite a lot.

I'd like to ask what, other than money directly motivates people? Is it prestige? A line on their resume? A requirement for a bootcamp class? In addition, we should re-evaluate the difficulty of submitting a CVE. Is it too easy? The story about a mass of "hey your regex parser could choke on this weird expression[1]" reports suggest that perhaps so. What can we do to make it so that CVEs and equivalents are truly meaningful? Also, just the fact that CVE reports are given a great deal of respect could be the problem, although at this point that seems to be self-correcting.

[1] Some classes of regex parsers are known to be vulnerable by nature, those that do backtracking for example, because their worst-case runtime grows exponentially and can run in unbounded time. This has been known since at least 2009. There are other implementations with better worst-case runtimes, but worse performance in typical cases. The fact that it's trivially easy to look at a regex parser to see if it does backtracking and construct an "evil" expression that breaks it means it's trivially easy to file a DOS report against any such parser.

Is the question is whether predatory pricing either works or harms consumers?

I think it's quite widely understood by economists and legislators that it can work; the Wikipedia article up-thread gets fairly technical, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_pricing#Long_term_co.... You can absolutely loss-lead a competitor out of business if you have a bigger pile of cash, and then raise prices higher.

Perhaps facetiously, I'd suggest the question can be more succinctly answered by saying if it didn't work, then large companies probably wouldn't do it.

Or is the question about whether or not this is a failure of regulatory framework?
Geography is a difficult beast to combat. I turned down a very good job in Logan, Utah because the air quality is so poor. Perhaps when we're all driving electric cars that will help but from most of the reports I've seen, there are many other significant pollution sources beyond power generation that will continue to make these mountain/valley type cities into centers of poor air quality.

Now I'm curious, are furnished apartments rare/a minority in the US?

As for the lining up, do apartment hotels exist? They are basically hotels that rent out apartments on a month by month basis. I knew people who also put stuff in storage and lived hotels or hostels, while waiting for the actual apartment residents to leave. Is that not a possibility?

Of course, when the contract dates overlap, then things get a little more difficult...

The centralized, unitary structure of the Chinese government and the CPC make it unlikely that there will be a power struggle — there aren't many levers that would-be power players have to pull to achieve their goals (unlike after the Death of Mao, by contrast). Xi holds three positions of authority in China, and it's unlikely that anyone would immediately replace him in all three, as it's only happened in his case because of the confidence that the membership of the CPC has in his faction.

The next General Secretary of the party and Chairman of the CMC would both be elected by the party's Central Committee. Whoever is selected as General Secretary will most likely also be chosen as President, since this is mostly a ceremonial role. The majority of the Central Committee are in the same faction as Xi is currently, so it seems more likely than not that they'll find people from within their ranks to fill these positions and attempt to strengthen the collective leadership.
When I was just getting started in my first couple years of learning, I blogged at least once a week about what I was excited about and what I was learning.

It was a good way to put words to thoughts and solidify things I've learned. It also helped keep me on track, I could look back at what I wrote last week and keep myself on track and honest to myself that I was going to follow through.

I should probably pick this back up since it was an effective means for learning. No one ever read what I wrote but some times it helps to put it out there in the public instead of a diary in order to kind of force yourself to stay with it.
Another reason why these jobs (especially restaurant kitchen staff) are hard to fill is that many people who were working them have died from covid. Cooks particularly have had the highest mortality of any job, though I can only guess why.

> My point is that none of this is actually possible

Except it is possible.. What you mean is that the people who pay you don't want to pay you in bitcoin, and the places you buy from aren't taking bitcoin. But they could if they wanted to. It is in fact possible today.

You asked "how does being your own bank do these things". I think its pretty clear how they do those things and how banks are not necessary for you to pay someone else (in bitcoin) today.

> would get into a lot of legal trouble if they didn't pay payroll taxes

Paying employees in bitcoin does not prevent them from paying payroll taxes...

> huge chicken-and-egg problem

Its really not tho. Individual merchants can (and do) accept bitcoin without all their customers willing or able to pay in bitcoin. Its just another option. Individual employers can offer the option of paying employees in bitcion (especially easy if they're a merchant that accepts bitcoin). Individual employees can opt into such an option. There is no chicken and egg problem, it can happen gradually one person at a time and one company at a time.
HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) systems are really cool, too. They solve the ages old problem of bringing fresh air into a home without losing all of the temperature and humidity from the internal environment.
If housing hadn't exploded in the US over the last 30 years the US would have needed to confront the fact that wages would never allow anyone to retire or build any wealth.

The only easy real division between stats and ML is in universities, where it's just a question of which department. If it's CS, then it's ML or AI. If it's stats, it's stats.

If it's industry, it's whatever the marketing department decides, inevitably AI :(
I have very unpleasant experiences on low doses. Maybe it is because the truffles are so weak.
For Matrix, "multi-client sync" and "offline messages" are core parts of the matrix protocol -- so it is impossible to find a client or a server which will drop messages on intermittent connections, or which will not record message to history.

Their compatibility chart ( https://matrix.org/clients-matrix/ ) shows that missing features are things like "rich text editing" or "typing notifications" -- whatever, I can live without them.

On the other hand, core XMPP is designed to drop messages if something happens (like if recipient is offline). You need to have a whole bunch of XEPs implemented to prevent message losses.

This is exactly why I recommend avoiding XMPP where possible -- messengers have one job, to reliably get message from point A to point B. If it is possible to end up with the situation of unreliable messages, maybe just don't use that protocol, use any of the many other alternatives.

Singular "they" has such an established place that it's rapidly becoming the de facto answer. Perhaps not optimal, but if you can find anything about English that's optimal, I want it caught and shot immediately.

In this case "they" has priority. We've been using it as a singular pronoun for longer than people have used X as a variable. Chaucer used singular "they" in the 14th century; X as a variable is generally credited to Descartes in the 16th.

The right to mobilize resources, even at the scale Facebook manages to the achieve, is not a positive right. Neither is spending a large amount of money a positive right. Perhaps you're confused with regards to what constitutes a positive or negative right? Or you'd like to explain how you are defining a "positive right" here ?

I disagree with your assertion that value not being defined doesn't matter. If it didn't, then your claim of "using your rights wisely to your maximum advantage essentially never brings the most value" would have nothing to stand on. After all, that's a value judgement.

I also take issue with your claim that the max profit generation is somehow irreconcilably divorced from total happiness. Facebook provides a service the people choose to use without guns to their heads. If people are unhappy with using Facebook or are uninvested in it (like myself), they can refuse to use it. If anything, I would arrive at an opposite conclusion: Much like cars and phones, people are satisfied with FB to the point that most are happy to use it, even if it comes with tradeoffs they wouldn't have tolerated in any other context. The user connects with others in a way that works for them and that's engineered to work very well for Facebook's financials. Every party involved is operating to their own standards utilizing their own negative rights to achieve their own ends. That's just business.
I was able to similarly get pretty good final results by doing nothing all the way through the end of the first summer, then merely instituting masking in the fall through the winter. I refused all education campaigns but took foreign help when it was offered. Final death count was 141K but society stayed stable and at the end of the sim 4 million out of the (presumably) ~10.5 million population were vaccinated.
That's quite a stretch. In civil forfeiture the victim isn't disappeared/re-educated.

once. There's no course on work politics, which is insane

> The problem with anti-competitive practices is that they're immune to market forces.

No, they aren't, in general.

They are self-limiting, though, where the actor isn't insulated from idealized market forces by market position. In that case, they are incentivized by the same real market forces which protect them.

"stunning beauty as the new average with fewer variance"

I don't know about that. Beauty varies greatly based on the the preferences of individuals. Sure there are general trends at a societal level, but even that changes over time (short term: dad bod, longterm: fat vs skinny). The reduction in variation can even lead people to seek mates with traits that do vary from the average (ie peacocking).
This overlooks many changes that have occurred in the recent decades, such as the restructuring of the PLA (including their decoupling from state business), the development of the socialist market economy, and the further development of the rank and file organization of the party. All of these give structure and order where they didn't exist before. The leadership roles in the party have never been less significant within Chinese internal politics, as the collective leadership has been strengthening for the last three decades.
do you have a reference to the US helicopter / DEA claims btw?
It's a problem of phrasing.

Back then, for an average person, there wasn't much to do on the Internet, except online games and chatting with friends, both of which are considered a waste of time. As a result, Internet itself was demonized, and Internet addiction was considered a problem, even a mental disorder.

Nowadays, China has a booming tech sector. Everyone is using the Internet all the time to browse TikTok videos, stream TV shows, order food delivery and shop deals. And people stopped talking about Internet addiction, because suddenly they realize they themselves fit the clinical definition, which was to be online for more than a few hours a day.
On the other hand, if every home had a load leveling battery system of even modest storage capacity, say, 15 minutes average power usage covered, then load leveling would not be nearly the problem it is today.
I guess this depends on where you buy it and how you pay. But I haven't seen less than a year, normal seems to be about 2 and many pay like $30 extra to extend this to 4 years. My bank currently offers 6 years, but no idea how this actually works.

I mean in reality I am pretty sure you could get every vote you wanted for $5,000 each. Average annual income in Haiti is $500. So 10 years of salary.
Also only about 6 million voters in Haiti and you only need half of them so you could be president for $15 billion. Likely most people would sell their vote for their annual income, that means a total of $1.5 billion. I would not blame them either, extreme poverty is a terrible thing and for many the adage 'any port in a a storm' is likely true.

This assumes that people would agree to sell their votes.
With that said, I am very much against dictators, benevolent or otherwise. But I would understand.
Total nonsense. China is on the path of world domination, and they very much care about global alliances (as is clear from their global investments and collaborations, which were utterly lacking in Sadam's Iraq). Comparing China to a guy who was found hiding in a tunnel is highly misleading. China of 2021 is as sophisticated in diplomacy as anyone, and they only fall back to the 1970 version of themselves when it suits their interests - which is a brilliant strategy. They are very carefully playing their chess game when it comes to getting Taiwan back, but when it comes to Covid-19, suddenly we encounter a different face of the same regime.
I agree it’s very odd. I also just noticed there seems to be a person laying injured in the street and none of the armed “security response” people are rendering aid or seem to care at all. They’re just kind of casually milling around.
>, and that they should be regulated to guarantee equal access.

You mentioned the UK BBC in another comment. Here are some examples of BBC censorship:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_the_United_Kingd...

If the government-run BBC sometimes censors certain topics, I'm confused as to how that same government becomes a watchdog & enforcer over private corporations designated as "common carrier" and not censor.

In other words, what higher power over the UK government forces them not to censor? There's an inherent contradiction enforcing an "equal access" law because the government itself doesn't follow it. This has unavoidable effects on government regulation of the private corporations it oversees.

The "common carrier" designation is easy to implement when communication is point-to-point with paid subscriptions (e.g. telephones) -- instead of broadcast funded with ads or government taxes (e.g. Facebook/Twitter, BBC). There is no government in the world that allows broadcast of any topic without interference.
De-install HPLIP and use "IPP Everywhere" if you can. Since I've done that I've had reliable printing that doesn't break on package updates. Given that I use Arch, that was an occasional surprise finale to an update session. It usually started with my SO having an urgent print job to do.
