After a lot of thought a few years back about freedom, I started considering what future generations might fight for, or have. What do we consider immoral today, that would be considered immoral tomorrow?

> I don't know, do you think the world would be better if people could sell their organs?

Freedom of destiny. If a spouse wanted to sell their organs to improve the life of the remainder of their family, and made the choice with sound mind, then absolutely. If a person requests assisted suicide when suffering from a terrible disease, then absolutely. Why should someone be forced to die in disgrace, purely to satisfy the dogmatic morals of those around them?

Less moral systems force a certain life on people, but they argue that it is moral. We are forcing a certain death on people, and are arguing it's moral. This line of thinking is in line with the current zeitgeist, and the truth of the matter is that no zeitgeist will ever be perfect - but we can improve things by challenging our core morals (just as we did with slavery, women, LGTBQ+).
I'm truly sorry to hear this.

This is one such concern that I have. Do you think this comes down to the "adult society" you're being integrated into?

If you don't mind my asking, do you think you know the motivation for the way you were raised/educated in the manner you were raised?

I imagine there are a wide variety of reasons as to why parents home school, and that the outcomes vary significantly based upon those motivations.
You can't view it if you don't have the data to show it!
they are they just dont work in binary bits they work with qbits which simply have behavior rules diffrent from digital but can be simulated by one just inefficiently. much like a binary computer can be approximated by a balanced trianay computer or analog computer or by pumps valves and flowing water like in MONIAC. they are all turring complete and can simulate each other just not efficiently. they dont have any magical logic gates they are just able to do a task that would need require lot of time or many parrelel computaions or both in less time because a single qbit is in super position of 1 and 0 simaltaniously and we can do mathmatical operations on it without collapsing the superposition until we have observed it. to simulate this on a traditional computer you would need to run it for each 2 time per bit.

so for a 8 bit key for example you would need to run the same operation 256 times 65536 for a 16 bit key and 4,294,967,296 for a 32 bit. so in essence quantum computation just lets you cheat on massively parallel processes but is not a hyper-turring machine or a turring oracle. in fact there are many algorithms that you get no gain from using qubit other than i higher energy bill
> Interestingly, homeownership has a split effect on political party affiliation. Those who use private mortgages “polarize,” according to the authors, with some becoming Republican and others becoming Democrats. But homeowners who get mortgages backed by the Federal Housing Administration, so-called FHA loans, are much more likely to become Democrats.

> By submitting my information, I agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
In fact, the authors point out, even those who were previously Republicans “shift markedly” toward the Democratic party once they receive an FHA loan. It could be that those who receive FHA-backed loans recognize the value of government in helping them obtain a low-interest mortgage or perhaps it is because FHA loans are only available for more modest loans, and are more likely to be taken by working- or middle-class people. At the same time, Republicans who do not use FHA loans become even more Republican.

> It’s not just that becoming homeowners makes people more NIMBYish, or that homeownership locks people into place, but buying a home changes people’s political behavior writ large. Once someone buys a home, they act politically to protect its value. As the authors point out: “Overall, the results suggest that individual economic circumstances importantly influence political beliefs and behavior, and suggest that homeowners have special influence in American politics in part because their ownership motivates them to pay attention and to participate.”

I have seen this spill over into all sorts of everyday things. HR policy changes at work are communicated more like this now. You suddenly get an interstitial when logging in one day, demanding that you accept or acknowledge some change or new policy. There is often no other option, no avenues given to protest or question or even discuss it. These things used to be communicated by email, before that by memo, making it apparent who the author was and thus who to follow up to if you felt the need to do so. Now it's an annonymous "we" who have decided that this is the new order of things, and if I want to get on with doing my work I need to acquiesce.

This makes sense for reduced paperwork if the company is buying back 28% of the shares to pay taxes instead of selling it to the market to pay the taxes - the company can reduce the open market sale on vesting days, but keep it as a single event within the quarter (advance tax payment per quarter).

Taxing revenues means that outsourcing any aspect of a business automatically incurs an e.g. 5-15% fee over doing it in-house. That would artificially incentivize vertical monopolization, removing some of the natural benefits of specialization, and could destroy low-margin businesses altogether.

Europe's value-added tax approach seems like a better alternative, though I'm sure it too has drawbacks.
> Remember that "taxation without representation is tyranny" was a catchphrase from the Revolutionary War. As soon as they are taxed, they will have a right to representation.

No, they won’t.

One, because that wasn’t a catchphrase of Canada’s nonexistent Revolutionary War.

Two, because catchphrases aren’t legally binding.

And three, because the catchphrase involved referred to central government taxation of the population of a distinct local jurisdiction, whose citizenry had representation in the local, but not central, government. All the citizens affected already are fully represented in the central government of Canada.

So, the non-binding foreign catchphrase at issue wouldn't even suggest a representation gap in the case under discussion if the complaint it was making was treated as a binding rule applicable to the case, which it very much is not.

YouTube has never been a free market as long as they've had editorial discretion at removing/promoting any videos they like.

In what world would it be acceptable to leave multiple kids unattended with the car engine on?

Who lets their children run around in different direction around moving vehicles? Thats the whole point of having a parent present. Thats your responsibility... you go on about risk, but ignore the fact you should go another time or another shop if its too busy for you to manage multiple kids, find a car park closer to the entrance or find some help. Thats mitigating risk. Locking kids in cars with engines running is the exact opposite of risk mitigation.

I don't claim that any of this is easy, quite the opposite. But it was 'too hard' is not going to cut it.

You've completely distorted the statistics to justify, I assume your wife's actions. Imagine the scenario where instead of all parents taking their child with them into the shops, they all left their kids in the car with engine running. What do you think would happen to your statistics?
> The non-English speaking world is most affected, with the rate of regrettable videos being 60% higher in countries that do not have English as a primary language

My first assumption was that YouTube trains better on English-language stuff and so the recommendations are better. However, downloading the paper and scrolling to the actual data on page 22, it turns out: yes, some of the top bad countries (Brazil, Germany, France) are worse than all English-speaking countries, but also, all English speaking countries are worse than the lowest two (Denmark, Austria) and only Canada does better than Bangladesh and Czechia. So it's a bit more nuanced than "non-english is 60% worse", hidden behind an "on average".
I think this part of the problem though. We don't believe we can really do anything at this point so we have turned everything into a stochastic process with multiple draws needed and it gives everyone an out when things don't work.

"Oops, JWST blew up, guess we just got unlucky with that single draw from the urn. Shouldn't have put all our eggs in one basket. "

Just do it. No more urn thinking. Just launch , get in orbit and blow our minds with the data that is sent back. I don't want to hear about anything less than that.
Early on in a connection, congestion window is much more limiting than bandwidth delay product. Do you really want to spend that limited bandwidth on your favicon that you might have already sent to the user before, maybe even in the same browsing session?

It's way better to put it as a separate image, maybe their browser will delay loading it because they're mostly useless. But, you can actually make a favicon useful! If you serve http-strict-transport-security headers with includeSubdomains from your top level domain and you serve your favicon from there, you can push browsers to load them. Ex: your website at www.example.org loads https://example.org/f as its favicon with content expiration about the same as HSTS expiration, and you've now set or refreshed that.
You're wrong. That exact thing existed before, and that's not what happened.
Sure the final mission configuration isn't exactly what they would test, but the differences in the sky crane maneuver on Mars and Earth would be relatively easy to factor in (ok, that might be an exaggeration, but its doable). There is a ton of control development that would need to be sorted out so they knew how to integrate it all. For example, I had heard that the primary indicator that the rover had touched down simply watching the throttle on the closed loop flight control system. When it throttled down it meant the rockets were no longer suspending the weight of the rover. If true, I would think you would want to test that quite a bit...

FWIW they tested missile defense 'kill vehicles' on the ground and they will operate at or near orbital velocity in space. The main 'hover thruster' would likely be completely unnecessary in a live exercise:

>I don't know what it is about the internet

It's the scale, speed, and reach that makes it a different beast. It's the difference between a party popper and a flashbang; similar principles, but completely different implications.

You're taking an overly simplified view of the power of internet speech. It's not that people are merely "offended." It's that an individual can be on the wrong end of an internet mob for which there's no accountability. By your standards, swatting is a perfectly acceptable outcome as long as the victim had the opportunity to mute their harrassers. Likewise, poisoning someone's reputation and making them unemployable is fine too. It's just words, right?

I doubt animal transmission is a significant driver. Most animals remain outdoors and socially distanced from humans. Exceptions of course include farm workers, zookeepers, etc. But they’re a tiny percent of the population.
I think what frustrates people is two things.

First, the lengthy slog through ancient African societies which then suddenly ~lands at very on-the-nose messaging and what feels like the “real point” or basically a total revamp of the book’s themes up to that point. But this occurs when you’re already pretty deep into the book.

Second, If I had to guess, and I don’t say this with snark, the
Book’s timing is another factor. There’s this sense that a bait and switch occurred where an interesting, nuanced book in the post ‘08 era is started in good faith, and an Occupy WS diatribe suddenly shows up halfway through.

Fair - the author was very involved in Occupy, so sure buyer beware. But it was published at a time when many of the book’s readers, and the US at large, had had it with Occupy and it’s themes. But, readers still tried to make an effort to absorb ideas from that side of the house, as ‘11-12 was no economic Cakewalk. Regardless, that honest effort lands squarely back in Occupy territory, but it took 200 pages to get there.
Oh I agree that there are companies selling pickaxes and not doing business realm of Facebook and Google (if we are sticking to the subject of ads). However, hopefully anecdotally, just go take a look a metrics and sentiments from tech employees on Blind.

If Google is paying more than Twilio, there will be droves of people grinding to get in.
> I can see the importance of this from the company end - with tech company shares skyrocketing, a fixed share amount gives them potentially unlimited stock compensation liabilities which could drag on earnings.

AFAIK that is not how stock works in this context. The company issues the shares ex nihilo. That dilutes existing shareholders (if not offset with buybacks) but otherwise doesn't cost the company anything. The shares are not vested so if you leave they return to the comp pool. The company doesn't magically issue new shares on your vesting date so any rise in share price doesn't affect the company anyway. The whole point from a company POV is they can pay you in paper (shares) they manufactured out of nothing rather than cash.

They are doing it this way to reduce the total number of shares they need to issue (aka cut compensation). There is basically no upside for an employee, the changes to vesting schedules or cliff are a sop to avoid having to tell their employees that they're cutting compensation. Employees can already borrow against those RSUs if they need money.

The idea that missing out on a 10%-200% rise in the share price over the next four years in exchange for a bit more flexibility in vesting is a joke. If the company actually cared about the flexibility they could just switch to 6 month vesting or monthly vesting without removing the upside. There is no benefit to removing the upside beyond reducing dilution. They sure as hell aren't going to apply that same policy to their executives.
