Who are "these unfortunate folks"? Kristo Langker?

As I said above, LECC isn't going to investigate the arrest of Langker while Langker's criminal prosecution is pending. In the event that Langker is acquitted or the prosecution otherwise discontinued, it is possible then that LECC will investigate. We can't judge LECC based on this episode because legally it is too early for it to be involved.
Thank you. Unfortunately, you'd have to write that stylesheet from scratch. For this demo, I just wrote them in the Svelte components.
Political speech is only slightly more reputable than "pet economic theories", imo. What does the academic literature say about this?

Washing hands, not working in a mill or mine or smelting place would be huge factors. Lower child births death is probably the biggest.
Ask your CISO
For something that’s a little more to look at than a two-leafed plant and less cheating the system than a clonal grove, there are multiple individual specimens of olive trees that are still (very slowly) growing and doing quite well for themselves in and around the Old City in Jerusalem that locals say are known to be well over two thousand years old.
That is how people learn how to pass tests instead of learning the material. Passing tests is important in college, but if you want to learn on your own it doesn't matter.

A more foolproof way to track this would be to slightly change the wording of important sections in each copy handed out. This would allow them to track down even copies of confidential documents that were simply transcribed or where the press used excerpts.

> My first thought was someone had mailed me anthrax.

That's your first thought? The harassment later described sounds insane - if you are receiving death threats call the police, open a case. It'll strengthen your position if you later need to go to court. What you don't do is post about it online, to let your attacker know they were successful.

Also, don't doxx your own address. If you need to receive mail and post an address online, there are forwarding services - some even offer to search the mail.

I somewhat find the claim incredible though - if you honestly believe you are in immediate danger, most people do something about it.

> Most of us, however, experience constant microaggressions.

The term 'microaggression' doesn't make sense to me, if it's aggression then call it out as such. If it's not meaningful enough to be called out, then you need a better coping mechanism.

> [..] it truly feels like the cancerous misogynistic tumors in our industry in particular run so deep that we may never be able to bisect them all.

Either Silicon Valley produces the worst work culture out there (and homelessness), or I would suggest that you find yourself in a bubble. I think as a general rule, if you believe <some group> to have almost entirely evil intent, then you don't understand them or have some internal bias. People generally don't try or believe themselves to be the villains of their own stories.

> Listen to and believe women.

You go from wanting equality to special treatment. I treat all people with scepticism, but they are innocent until proven guilty. That's how justice works.

In general I feel sad for the author. Anything you try hard enough to find, you will eventually find. I hope instead of trying to find sexism in tech industry, the author tries to find happiness.
How Artwork Is Made? Black Hole
I’ll start out by saying I’m an avid fan of vapor/synth/whatever wave. I’ve heard this argument before and I can’t be the only one to think it’s silly, right? A cursory search of Spotify, Bandcamp, or YouTube will show that ALL the “wave” genres are alive and well some 5 years after this article was written. Some artists have moved on to other aesthetics, some artists have continued to produce the same sound they always did. How is this different from any other genre?

Incidentally here’s some sweet tunes! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1APbMkLxJGgWT88wpKyCIA?si=...

As a side note, I just discovered another “wave” offshoot called “corporate businesswave”. What a time to be alive. https://open.spotify.com/user/blackscholescat/playlist/39pqs...
Good thing I don't have to buy a new backpack every year!
Can you give some examples of prices?

Ive always thought those fast food meals were silly and overly expensive.

Like, the hamburger is 4$ alone BUT add on some terrible cheap pre frozen fries and soda that costs like 5 pennies and there's your 'meal' for 10$. Completely crazy!

And fast food fries really are terrible. I don't know what they do wrong but I used to work at a restaurant that served pre frozen fries that were quite good, so it's not even that.

>interestingly, wings were sold at a slight loss. I guess you don't want a whole group to pick a different pizza place just because one person wanted wings.

Shouldn't this logic work in reverse as well? In other words, "they were able to charge more for wings because people wouldn't order from a different place just to save a few bucks on wings"?
You don't need sensors, you just need a virtual room.

> We totally do emulate organisms on that scale. The

There is no evidence those emulations actually emulates those organisms. They just built a neural net in the same structure and assumes the cells doesn't matter. But cells are really smart and can navigate environments on their own, they are intelligent beings in their own right, and building a flea using a thousand of those is very plausible compared to doing it using neural net of similar size.

And yes, in order to prove that we actually emulated those you need to show that it does the same things in the same scenarios. You don't even need to do everything, just a simple thing like being able to move around, gather material and build a home in a physics engine would be huge.

back when I was still doing Android, there was this trend in Android to throw away Google MVC and just have everything as view (and none of fragment, activity and all that crap). The rest of your code you just slice up in ways that makes sense. You platform-dependent logic just reuses the same activity to access the junk google provides.
I'm not sure about jpeg, but with an algorithm like 'deflate' the encoder is constantly making decisions about whether it's more efficient to represent a series of bytes as a literal or as a reference to a previous series. I think a steganographer could take advantage of that by encoding something like a tracking number in the form of the occasional less efficient decision.
Why would inflation measure some Veblen good only a small fraction of the population can afford?

The price of Rolex watches has also massively increased, but that doesn’t go into inflation calculations either.
Counting is just counting. Placing a meaning derived from the direct count is part of a nontrivial measurement or sampling process.
No. There are optimized paths to reach the same understanding
That's not true at all. There are plenty of cheery vaporwave songs mentioned in the article itself: saint pepsi [1], macross 82-99 [2] etc. all early vaporwave entries based on city-pop which is as cheery as you can get!
In fact that's probably the most popular remaining evolutions of the genre, both of the mentioned artists are still huge! (multi-million listens on spotify)

If we are honest with the cultural aspect of it, vaporwave is the meme of taking old songs, slowing them down, making the time wonky, and occasionally overlaying software sounds or adjusting the phrasing.

Where synthwave describes a much broader range of music with a retro-futurist sound more often than not new original music, and not reliant on sampling phrases from songs outright.
You are right, bruteforcing checksums is easier.

There's no reason to build the repeats up by doubling since the string concatenation of two same string is still linear time.
I wish more people thought like you about things like this. I'm in my mid-fifties and been riding a bike most of my life rather than buying a car; I try my best to recycle; I try not to waste; etc, etc; and been doing all these things since I saw as a child many scientists give advance warning on TV and in various magazines and other publications about pretty much all the things that are now happening.

Truth is most of the messes the world is in right now were avoidable, except that the vast majority of humans would rather ridicule and harass anyone trying to make a better tomorrow than allow anyone to succeed at such "lofty" and "naïve" goals. I've truly lost all hope for humanity as a whole, because the percentage of people who actually care about anything beyond themselves is vanishingly small.
Yup. Malicious conspiracies do happen, but nowhere near at the same rate that sloth and incompetence does.
I’d expect natural immunity to be more robust to future covid mutations than vaccination, since our bodies will have been exposed to and responded against all parts of covid’s biology rather than just the spike proteins.
Cryptocurrencies create value by creating a financial system that solves some problems that traditional finance can't. For instance, a person in some underdeveloped country can accept a payment from US, however, if there was no Bitcoin then the person would have to rely on SWIFT network (which the country might not be a part of, or under sanctions like Iran). Or just a fact that you can't be randomly locked out from your account due to cancelling or any other reason. Buying a portion of Bitcoin is like buying shares of a bank which provides a service of accepting, sending and storing your money.

Ethereum creates value by providing an infra for dApps that provide financial instruments (like deposits, lending, etc) which also create value.

Life without parole is an inhumane form of punishment. It takes away the mere chance that someone, after having bettered him or herself and paid their debt to society can be included in society again, which in my opinion is the only justified basis on which to incarcerate someone in the first place.
Ooh, so you rely on research? Huh, so has any vaccine caused cancer? Or do you think the scientists have ruled that possibility out, just like they've ruled out the possibility of coronaviruses to cause cancer?

It doesn't say anything about doubles, which is a rather important element in Italian pronunciation.

What I've been told is that for non-Italians the best trick is to try to shorten the vowel before the double. This will naturally make the double longer, as it should be.
>Gold-backed currency is fiat, with government setting gold-money exchange rate.

The government can theoretically debase its currency at will, but how often does that happen?

>Besides, there were more bank runs back in the gold standard era.

Right, because there's a real risk that the bank/government won't be able to pay up the gold that was owed. These days it's not an issue because you can just print more money to fulfill the obligations.
It completely escapes me why this basic concept is so hard to understand for so many people. "Things are bad, so let's actively fight to make sure things are vastly worse in the future." I fail to grasp how that logic is somehow better and more defensible than your simple and obvious logic; "Things are bad, so let's start making them better, or at least stop making things worse."
Who else accidentally read this title as "vaporware" instead of vaporwave. Kinda unnerving how that happens when scanning headlines.
Age of Empires 2 is still getting regular updates. There aren't too many RTS games nowadays but you should give AOE2 HD a try.
What are we talking about here? The article about the FBI seizing $900K from a safe deposit box? Or Australian police arresting the producer of a YouTube comedian? I said, with respect to the second, that LECC was unlikely to investigate while the criminal case was still pending. That has absolutely nothing to do with "the 4th amendment" – the US constitution does not apply in Australia.
It's also telling that the team doing SC: Remastered cared enough to make an emulator for EUD maps (SC1 maps which used a buffer overflow accessible from within the map scripting language to execute arbitrary code), but the War3: Reforged release was a big steaming turd of missed promises.
I think using the terms counting and even systemization instead of the term measurement or sample would cause the readers to miss tapping into a large body of existing scientific and technical work that is relevant to what is being discussed in the article. Eg of you look for measurement theory a reader would find a lot of relevant info.

Maybe though to give credit to the author, they’re looking for a focus on a place where one is just starting to form different concept of a particular estimate.
No. I've often discussed this with friends. I seem to be completely "mind-blind", i.e., I don't see mental pictures. If I concentrate, I can cause something to appear in my mind that I know is supposed to be a visual impression of, e.g., a dog, for the briefest possible instant, but I can't just look at it.

Even things that are highly visual, like Chinese characters that I can write from memory, I don't copy them from mental pictures.

On the other hand, when I listen to music, I easily pick apart all the different elements and know their textures, kind of like flying and knowing what the terrain is via radar. It's still not visual, it's just knowing.
> What I see as the main promise of US money is that it will be roughly the same tomorrow as today, to the point where thinking about the value of things in dollars is useful.

I think it is safe to consider that promise has not been kept.
Hear hear!

I used to be a voracious reader, then I basically stopped and I'm now trying to get a good pace again.

"Read what you like" is the most important thing, too often one tries to read a book because someone recommended it, or gifted it, or because it's an aspirational thing ("everybody should read Ghoete's Faust").

Just give those up and read something else.

>This is a standard thing that has been happening for centuries as people try organisational structures that rely on good people being in charge.

Honestly, if your organizational structure relies on good people do be in charge, you've already lost. The trick is so that people in power never have too much power, and don't have the power to destroy it. It can be a simple system like requiring 3 keys of 3 people to launch a nuclear strike, or something way more complex, like the separation of powers in the U.S. Constitution.

When creating the structures, you have to think of it like a video game designer to a degree. You have to always keep in mind how would a bad actor hack this to his or her advantage, then remove whatever it is you find.

Good on you for finally hitting the jackpot. If you ever end up with real money, think about ending homelessness in your city. Why not?

One strategy to make friends: just show your disdain for working people and rich people will flock to you. :-D

It's funny that everyone seems to have trouble meeting new friends when older, even the 1% apparently.

Add Covid to the mix, and things are tough.

I guess it's probably only really possible to meet other rich people to be friends with, else you'd always be worried that people were just using you.

This question seems to show up a lot in the Reddit FIRE communities -- maybe they've figured out the answer.

Reminds me of Douglas Rushkoff's anecdote about how, when growing up, his dad got promoted, they moved to a bigger house in an outer burb, own backyard and pool and grill, so fewer friends, etc. What's the basis?

https://rushkoff.com/books/

If you move to the right hood, your neighbors are prob rich, too.

And if you just have hobbies like pickup soccer, you can have casual friends without being true/real friends.

And once you start the kids in their private schools, you'll run into those parents.

Good luck.
> Money stores the value of that economic output.

One must also consider whether it is a medium of exchange at any given point in time, if its used as an unit of account, the variable storage/protection/transportation costs, durability against the elements, fungibility, accessibility, liquidity, etc.

> Who sets the interest rate? Does a lower interest rate increase private lending or decrease it? Why can't private banks hold 0% in fractional reserve?

Take a look at "5% fixed-floating swap, Receive fixed"[0], who sets those float-fixed (or even the float-float) swap rates for the myriad of financial instruments, mostly in bilateral transactions with no third party involvement, that start at zero initial value and supposedly yield a non zero number, ever involving in complexity in response to demand and outside the awareness and interests of most people despite being very integral to their daily lives?

Hint: by far, not just central banks (which at least in the US are owned by private banks at different branches)…

>During the botched robbery attempt, a woman suffered a nonfatal gunshot wound. Ian turned himself in to the police and was charged as an adult with armed robbery and attempted murder.

I'm confused, did he shoot her or not?
Heartbreaking. A US citizen is likely not fully aware of the caprice and barbarity of the criminal justice system until it touches their lives somehow, but once seen it cannot be unseen. I have a cousin in prison 10 years into a 20 year stretch, and my horror at her conviction led to my emigrating to more civilized lands.

it's single threaded, but event driven. it doesn't block the whole server when it does blocking IO.

for good or bad, that means you scale it horizontally by running an instance per core and shard appropriately to that.
that doesn't change the fact that you have a model in which 2 of the 3 roles just fuck around doing nothing, and 1 is doing everything (and has more classes). If you ask youself the question: "what does this logic belong to?" and most of the time it's the same good damn role, then are the roles useful as guideline?
Most people are served best by a B/W laser printer. Never dries out and runs forever. Then for special stuff print at work/order/go to printshop.

Why was Plandemic produced in the first place? Was the creator trying to build a following of gullible people that he could sell stuff to later? Did he just want to make the world burn for the lulz?

I can understand poor thinkers parroting misinformation propaganda, but not random people being creators.
Well, first off, there are other examples (e.g. Sinclair) where it is far more obvious. Lots of local stations are beholden to advertisers and kill the stories.

But it's less "here's today's memo saying how to bamboozle people" and more "person X does Y, the bosses like Y, person X gets promoted/a show/a better timeslot" feedback loop. And the top bosses are selected by the owners. I assume you believe corporate culture can come from the top. Some of this (don't make up stories and sources) is undeniably good. But there is a subtler strain that encourages you to seek out and publish stories you know your bosses will approve of. If, for instance, you started publishing stories about how the KKK was releasing studies that had some really good points you would (rightly) be fired.

I'm not saying you or your coworkers are bad or biased. I'm saying the system you are working within is.
