This isn't so much every month not earning money but every month not putting money into a retirement account/savings. If you make a bunch of money in your 20s and don't adequately do these things (like, work for a startup that has no 401k and you don't open up and contribute to a Roth IRA to make up for it, for example), then it's not much different than going backpacking through your 20s.
It’s far older than that. The reputation existed since at least the Pinto fires.

Since the early 90s I've used a piano-practice scheme that provides spaced repetition. It greatly reduces the time needed to either (1) learn or (2) memorize pieces. I always feel compelled to cite this poem:

You can get a great deal from rehearsal

If it just has the proper dispersal

You would just be an ass

To do it en masse

Your remembering would turn out much

Good! Maybe then the government will actually start to care once the lobbyists start to ask for help.

The downside is that the "help" will probably just consist of funneling more taxpayer money to large shareholders and execs, while banks figure out ways to dodge liability without actually solving the problem.
keep in mind, costco purchases are not always a great deal. Just because its more doesnt necissarily mean its cheaper.
No, I couldn't.
Biden is recalibrating towards taking on the CCP. Afghanistan was a waste. Never was gonna work and besides the rare earth metals they don’t have anything we need. Waste of soldiers and logistical support and air power.

We need to take on CCP head on. Give nukes to SK and Japan and then declare that if any sovereignty of them or Taiwan is violated, we will instantly nuke all known military bases in CCP-land.

No more games with these autocratic devils.
It has for me. I've mentioned it before, but I had an app to help with D&D stuff rejected for describing how to harm someone in one of the descriptions of a spell somewhere.

Some variation of this happened three times. Eventually the level of stupid was too much for me to handle, and on the third time, I just pulled the app rather than resubmit things.

Calling isn't zero cost, and that spammer time isn't zero cost, so in this case, there is a incentive from the spammer to weed out people who costs the most.

So isn't the popular idea that you should NOT answer spam calls wrong? Logically, you should answer every spam call and try to get them to stay on the line for as long as possible, therefore maximizing their cost.

This is assuming they have some CMS software on the backend that allows them to categorize numbers.
This is quite weird since slack generally encourages people to use their real names for exactly this reason. In slack, tagging someone has a few added benefits, even in a private convo.

In a DM, if I tell you @fred can help you if you have any questions, you can now hover to see Fred's availability status, and click to message them.

An added benefit is that these tags track the user's displayed name. If Fred changes their name to Francine, the places where you've tagged Francine in the past will update automatically. You can also search for places where users are mentioned this same way.
I would love to run SpamAssassin (a least the Bayesian text analysis part) SMS/IMs. I suspect it would do pretty well.

I just bought a 10-acre farm in Ireland. I paid cash. Not all of my cash. There's cash left to buy a pickup, animals, spruce up the house, startup capital for some farm enterprises, etc. That's what my sometimes soul-killing job in Finance-Tech has done for me. That's what yours can do for you: provide you the means to do something else. Figure out what it is, and do it.

> Will be squeezed by Intel and Apple

This doesn't really work. If there is more demand, they'll build more fabs. It doesn't happen overnight -- that's why we're in a crunch right now -- but we're talking about years of lead time here.

TSMC is also not stupid. It's better for them for their customers to compete with each other instead of having to negotiate with a monopolist, so their incentive is to make sure none of them can crush the others.

> I see zero upside with these developments for AMD, and to a lesser degree, Nvidia

If Intel uses its own fabs, Intel makes money and uses the money to improve Intel's process which AMD can't use. If Intel uses TSMC's fabs, TSMC makes money and uses the money to improve TSMC's process which AMD does use.
I don't think somebody dragged to court for ten accusations of crimes can be considered a "professional victim".

I did not choose to make this a thing, it was a thing even before I was notified of the verdict.

Personally I don't see the need to make this a thing and involve the PLC. If Elijah Newren had a problem with me, he could simply ask me "please don't contact me in the next three months" and I would gladly do that.

Enforcement should be necessary only after other methods of agreement have failed. But Elijah never attempted to contact me, and the PLC did no attempt to do any mediation.

One day I was simply notified: this is your punishment. And that's that.

Why is that, I wonder?

I'm on a Windows box. I'm in a similar boat as you and basically caved when it came to gaming and built a Windows box. I don't love Windows but I mostly just use Steam anyways.

At one point I used the version sold by gog.com

That version worked on OSX for a while but it doesn't look like that's the case anymore: https://www.gog.com/game/total_anihilation_commander_pack

BTW: I've run TA on a VM before. I think I used VMware Fusion. You'll still need a Windows license but at least you won't need extra hardware.
Fingers crossed, but I've not really had any spam issues on a few UK numbers.

I have even been quite generous in giving out one (i.e. using for any online stores that insist on a phone number), and I've yet to really have any unsolicited call that I can think of.

Phone numbers do get recycled by operators, so there's definitely some luck - I've seen some issues with landline numbers, specifically people trying to trace former users of the number. I imagine if you get "unlucky", you might really have little option beyond call blocking or trying to get a new number.

I did find it interesting that, at least for N=1, giving out your number fairly freely, including when you shop online (but not opting in to marketing etc) didn't seem to result in any issues, even after 8 years or so.

Calm Business Model-How Does Calm Make Money
I can confirm answering calls and using as much of their time as possible totally works. I’ve been doing this for a year or more now; I get excited when a spammer calls me now. It’s about a monthly affair.

I have a bookmark for https://www.getcreditcardnumbers.com/ - I happily give them all the credit card numbers they want (the ones from that site pass the checksum, but of course isn’t valid in combination with a made up expiry and CVC).

After a couple card numbers fail, they cuss me out, sometimes threaten my life, and never call again.

My theory is they get flagged by their payment processor if they submit many bogus credit card numbers.

It’s about a 10-minute investment once a month. Less time than I used to spend answering and hanging up on spam calls.

>Logically, you should answer every spam call and try to get them to stay on the line for as long as possible, therefore maximizing their cost.

You also have to factor in your costs as well. I checked a random VOIP service and they charge a penny per minute, or $0.60 per hour. The federal minimum wage is an order of magnitude higher at $7.25/hour. Therefore it's more expensive for you to stay on the line to mess with them.
Perhaps Kabul fell so fast because the CIA is actually helping the Taliban to ultimately harass China across the 47-mile long China Afghanistan border[1], which leads right into Xinjian province where Chinese communists are putting Uygur Muslims in concentration re-education camps.

The CIA aided the proto-Taliban insurgency against Russia in the 1980s in what made Afghanistan become Russia's own "Vietnam." During the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s the USA aided Saddam Hussein's Iraq against Islamist Iran while at the same time the CIA was secretly selling weapons to Iran to get money to fund anti-socialist rebels in Nicaragua, in what became called the Iran-Contra Affair[2].

So the USA has a history of playing both sides, and it's not tinfoil-hat conspiracy-theory crankery to conjecture that the CIA told the Taliban how to crush the Afghan government troops in exchange for an understanding that the Taliban would soon be orchestrating a rebel insurgency across the Chinese border to liberate their oppressed Muslim brothers, because the Taliban is now more valuable as a proxy-war partner against rising China than the corrupt incompetent Afghan government was.

Pedantic, but it’s not illegal to not know the law; it’s just not an excuse if you violate it. It’s also practically impossible for a human to know the law, but it’s also practically impossible to arrest everybody, so best bet is to just go full lemming and do whatever you see everybody else doing.

Digression: I just thought of a fictional justice system for a fantasy/sci-fi novel. There are no laws, but 1% of the country is incarcerated at all times. A prosecutor bringing trial against a defendant must find someone currently in jail, and a trial is conducted where a jury votes on which to send to jail, and which to free.
Whatever valid criticisms exist, they’re simply incomparable to the insanely evil human rights abomination that is the Taliban.

It’d be like asking after the Nazi invasion of France “why is nobody talking about the human rights abuses in Algeria?”

EDIT: Downvotes for the very controversial opinion of... checks notes... saying the Taliban has less respect for human rights abuses than the United States.

Not sure that explains why the first number has to be 4, which was their point.
I can't imagine that it already isn't.

SSNs were never secret until fairly recently.

I guess an up-to-date cross-reference of SSNs and current active accounts of other types might always have some value to certain buyers.
I guess that’s what’s subconsciously been my plan for the last while. It’s just that on the rare occasions I’m with extended family and I’m reminded of what’s truly important in life, it brings my unhappiness to the fore again, and I resolve to try and do something about it.
Between this and Equifax hacks alone, can we make an assumption that the majority of SSNs out there are tainted?

And I know that such things happen on Android too.

The things is, apple/Google is a duopoly and the app market needs to be regulated.

No, your personal data is not sold or rented or given away or bartered to parties that are not Plaid, your bank, or the connected app. We talk about all of this in our privacy policy, including ways that data could be used — for example, with data processors/service providers (like AWS which hosts our services) for the purposes of running Plaid’s services or for a user’s connected app to provide their services.

The reader may be cheap, but the things its integrated with aren't. If it costs $20k to replace a gas pump and you have a half dozen pumps, the cost of replacing them might be comparable to the value of the gas station. A grocery store point of sale system is even more expensive, around $40k a pop. Maybe you're lucky and the manufacturer of your current setup has made it in such a way that the card reader can be swapped out without replacing the entire thing, but that's a big if.

It's not like this is an investment that will lead to more customers or new revenue, this is a big expense just to stay afloat. Getting financing for such an expenditure is extremely difficult. At least in a mixed ecosystem you might be able to recoup some of the cost selling your old equipment, but no one's going to buy it if it's going to stop working soon.

People will judge you using anything they can get their hands on. Looking at your nutritional choices I might think you are not investment material, worth hiring, worth giving a lone to. But then I can also use it to judge your friends, relatives and your great great great grandchildren.

You might have friends over every weekend but those 4 crates of beer also put you on the alcoholics list. +1 alcoholics for your contact list. And you purchased helium for that kids party. A pack of smokes for the gardener per week. You look 62% like a person on the crack cocaine list and 59% like a regular weed customer. Those are over 50% are they not? Seems good enough to use.

Eventually you get to the "people who are not racists but are unsure if their clients are - so you are not hired" kind of situation. How many alcoholics who suck helium, do crack and smoke pot can you "seriously" have in your network?

These are most likely stupid examples but that makes them good. We have no idea how the data will be used when combined with other data. Someone will think of something way more stupid.

Fine, let's leave. But wild idea, maybe we should have evacuated Afghans who helped us and American citizens first, before having our soldiers leave. Instead Biden just blamed Afghans for not getting out sooner before going back to his vacation. Especially considering there's a 18,000 backlog on visa's for translators and other at risk Afghans, plus 54,000 for their families.

So, in other words, they're selling my data, just not to third parties. So when I go to click "connect to Plaid", now whoever I'm connecting to suddenly has every single transaction from my bank/credit card/whatever I just connected.

So still a privacy nightmare, just a slightly different one.

What's so hard about not selling my data at all, and not collecting any data except for what's absolutely necessary to connect A to B?
It sounds like you're talking about a CPU-heavy workload. In this context often it's an IO-bound workload; the service makes upstream requests to a database and other services. Most of the request lifetime is waiting for responses.

To get reasonably many requests started and waiting on those responses, either you need to write in async/callback oriented style, or you need a mechanism to make many thousands of naive, blocking routines coexist efficiently.
Yes, but if you have ten bugs you don't have time to analyze correctly you don't attempt to fix all ten poorly.

You pick the most important one and analyze it at depth.

What you want is to pick the most egregious alleged violation and explore it at depth so that it can be prosecuted correctly, defended correctly, and judged correctly.

You don't put ten allegations on the docket and then say "we don't have time for the defense, so guilty on all counts".
Oh, thanks for the correction and apologies for the inadvertent misinfo.

Your comment sent me reading the HOPL paper about SML -- I think I (based on folklore knowledge/informal conversations) conflate the original development of ML with subsequent development and standardization around SML. All of this was well before my time so it's quite interesting to read about some of the details.
I bet it would have made that mistake.

The question is whether a system that absolutely requires that you pay attention going through intersections (which you should obviously do) is safer in aggregate than not having those features enabled at all in those situations.

E.g. are weird lane changes that people don't catch happening more frequently than people zooming through red lights because they weren't paying attention. Only the data can show that, and Tesla should share it.
Which is why it's hard to believe they needed to hire a firm to tell them to sort by salary (or tenure), and then lay off (some of) their more highly-paid employees. They're not just evil, they're evil and stupid, apparently.
That is a very valuable distinction. Because of this, there is a full 3d viewpoint available as well as built in LUA scripting.
What on earth is "curated" about the Google Play store? It is the most spyware ridden, spam filled "store" I've ever had the displeasure of using.

Exactly. I'm playing Red Dead 2 now and it's mind blowing how slow and limiting the controls are despite the world looking so full and lively. For the sake of realism and movie-like presentation, the player is reduced to A-B button pushing, to not interfere with the nicely laid out scripted scenes.
No offense taken! I am a big fan of both the original and SprintRTS, so I may have had bias in my writing.
Yes, but it may require you update things manually. You can disable the Play store and any other apps and only use F-Droid.
An earlier take on tech jargon was published in 1997 by Wired magazine in the form of a physical book entitled “jargon watch”. It was touted as “a pocket dictionary for the jitterati”. Published in San Francisco under the HardWired imprint, printed in Singapore. Collection of submitted terms to a Jargon Watch column to Wired magazine in the early 1990s.

Examples include adminisphere, appeasement engineer, articulizer, balloon help (now mansplaining), bit flip (a personal favorite)…worth a gander. Honor your nerd heritage and revive some of the words the ancients used before the dot-com bubble.
Single-pass to me also implies a code generator that writes the object file directly, rather than compiling to C or assembly (or some other language) as an intermediate format. But words don't mean anything anymore, so long as people can plausibly convince others that making them feel bad by calling out improper use means that they should be allowed to use words however they want, like a child owed the opportunity to exercise their unbridled spirit.
