Having unified government support behind your project really simplifies the "CAN we build here?" problem. The engineers figure out the cheapest path based on geography, eminent domains clears out anything in the way, and they build it. Simple.
I suppose the distinction isn't as much the freedom as intended by the originator, but the freedom as restricted by the country in which the originator exist and the destination is restricted from accessing.

Yes, on paper it's politics and military and sanctions, but the real effect is that nobody wants to get burned by ITAR or EAR so if your country is on that list, you're just going to get banned, period.

It's not great, but it's also not something you can easily solve. It does affect a lot of people, but in the end, a country is represented by its government and policies, and a sanction against breaking of some arbitrary rule isn't effective if it isn't applied to the country as a whole.

I used to joke that even with extended frequency response, etc cell phones and VoIP can certainly sound worse. I would compare the Sprint "pin drop" commercials[0] to the (at the time) Verizon Wireless "Can you hear my now?" campaign[1] with the joke being - progress from a pin drop to yelling "Can you hear me know? How's this? Is this better? Sorry about that." 20 years of progress!

Of course now (for the most part) packet loss concealment and other advanced technologies have equalized a bit of this but there are still days where I miss B-channels on a T1 PRI.

That's surprising. The only reason I've ever considered Stitch Fix is specifically because there might be a person with better taste than me on the other end.

An algorithm is just going to give me a mix of what's popular and what I've liked in the past, which is precisely the information I already had before coming to their service. Wouldn't people eventually realize they don't need to be told to keep buying things they already like?

I'd be more interested if they not only kept the people around, but doubled down on having consistent relationships and interaction between stylists and clients.

If you can run for 1h then you are quite likely already in a good shape (if not, running 1h every day would kill your joints).

Usual advise is to run at most every other day to let the body regenerate. That said, eating 500kcal less each day has the same effect and is much easier then running 1h six days in a row.

This study says that women feel hunger more strongly than men due to physical differences in the brain. True or not, the idea that some people just feel more hunger for the same amount of calorie deficit could explain a lot.

Do you agree that eating less than 2000 calories a day when your body only needs 2000 calories a day will result in weight loss?

What subgoal would you recommend for overall health when you're very overweight if not calorie reduction? Obviously I'm not saying don't exercise and eating junk is okay as long as it's within 2000 calories.

I personally don't find e.g. 200 calories of olive oil (which could be 10% of your calories for the day) filling at all in say a salad dressing (vs more salad) so skipping it is a simple way to eliminate excessive calories per day if required. Eating fat is fine though as long as you're watching the calories.

When you should develop a custom payment gateway and what challenges are there?
You definitely need a custom payment gateway if you have the following requirements:

Processing a certain currency,
Supporting certain payment methods (like QR code payments),
Working with a particular payment processor that isn’t supported by existing payment gateway solutions

Also, you need a custom payment gateway if you want to become a payment service provider.

If you've decided to develop a custom payment gateway, you may encounter the subsequent challenges:

- Addressing compliance and cybersecurity concerns
- Implementing a variety of features, from fraud protection to recurring payments
- Ensuring on-time product launch
- Providing reliable post-release support with an ability to adjust the platform should such a need arise

A contradiction leaves no doubt. It's not a contradiction then. A contradiction is not just something that is unlikely or infeasible, it is something impossible. It means that your set of beliefs is flawed and that at least one premise needs to be corrected for them to become consistent.

OldSecondHand is correct that it is possible for each generation to have been worse than the preceeding one. For example, the degradation might be so minute, or we may have started from such lofty heights, or the society has become more resilient to the degradation. It is possible, and therefore no contradiction. ...just unlikely.

“PC” is an IBM specific marketing term. The computers made by Vector Graphic were not PCs, they were microcomputers. The correct generic term is microcomputer, e.g. the Apple II was a microcomputer, never a PC. This naming convention persists today, it’s unusual to refer to a Mac as a PC.

It’s a small detail but it’s an important one and makes it seem like this article was poorly researched or the title is clickbait. Vector Graphic never entered the PC industry though they may have helped create the microcomputer industry.

True, at some point you have to trust someone, whether it's your phone's manufacturer, your telco, or the developers of the apps you use.

I think those are young women, going from webcam and porn studios to their own indie production, receiving more money from their work and removing shady guys who organized porn studios both from production and their cut.

Everybody won there.
Presumably because of the costs of verification and record keeping.

A single adult video studio might have a maximum of a few hundred people who they have to keep records for. Those people are paid per shoot, and the content is owned by the studio. There is a high ratio of revenue to number of people whose records must be kept.

On OnlyFans, they have a huge amount of people producing a small volume of content and making very little money, of which they only get a cut.
It's the same crap as the ad-pocalypse.

Journalists with an agenda use a disingenuous tactic, if they have a problem with a person or entity, they'll call up their sponsors, business partners, vendors, etc, and say "we're writing an article on X's platform which has been found to have (controversial material framed in a negative context), are we to believe that you're supportive and would your company care to comment." This leads to the company panicking, going completely defensive, and killing all contracts, services, and pulling sponsors or place of employment from the person whose being targeted in what is often just a hit piece with unverified out of context accusations. So yes, journalists, especially those that work for outlets like the NYT's can have someone's sponsors, money streams, etc pulled out from them by asking so called "innocent" questions in a passive aggressive way. They've done this numerous times not even giving those accused to respond, sometimes the article never even comes out. It's one of the abuses of power you can see in journalism today, where agenda driven journalism is used as a weapon to get someone removed from society, bank accounts closed, etc. Some targets are too big for it to work, or can lose a few sponsors, but they do it all the time.
We are mostly there.

Environmental impact is mitigated by newer proof of stake tokens. Cardano, Solano, Polkadot. Also, Ethereum is moving to proof of stake eventually as well.

Slow confirmation times are also solved by these same coins. Even ETH with proof of work has a quick confirmation time. Also, for payments over the internet, confirmation time is not a big deal. It's more an issue when buying something in person.

Price fluctuation is an issue, but we do have stablecoins. However, there are only a few.

We do need ATMs, but that also does not matter for online payments.

Fiat to crypto translation layer is probably the main issue in regards to online payments. However, setting up an account on Coinbase or Binance is pretty similar to setting up a PayPal account. Then you can pay any merchant with a QR code or address or whatever, using any of the coins Coinbase supports.

It all went to the Bay Area and other places where numerous tech workers congregate, along with NYC and other places where finance workers congregate. It's spilled out into the rest of America to the extent that these people move around.

Since 2008, home prices here have gone from about $1-1.2M for a modest home in Cupertino or Los Altos to about $3.5M for that same home. Restaurant meals have gone from about $9 for an entree to about $30. Daycare is now $2000/month for an average place, or $3500/month for a good one.

This is an example of a Cantillon effect [1]. Inflation doesn't affect prices uniformly. New money enters the economy at specific points (usually the financial industry), and then it pools in firms that have strong pricing power (currently the tech industry). People close to those areas experience sharp inflation while also seeing their wealth and living standards rise sharply relative to the broader economy. People not in those areas experience the money injection as an increase in inequality, not as inflation. The money doesn't circulate effectively between the "new" and "old" economy, because the "old" economy produces little that people in the "new" economy want to buy, and when they do, there are usually ample competitors to hold down prices.

The thing is that the pandemic and now the Biden administration's policies to build back from it have in some sense broken that dam that prevents money from circulating, and so we're beginning to see more broad-based inflation. Remote work let people on Bay Area salaries work anywhere, which means you might have multiple people with $500K+ compensation bidding up home prices and spending money at restaurants in what was previously a sleepy rural area. Direct stimulus payments inject money into ordinary people's bank accounts rather than into the financial industry, so inflation resulting from them is broad-based rather than concentrated in financial assets. Infrastructure spending will shift the Cantillon effects to areas like government contractors and raw materials like steel & concrete. And policies that are specifically designed to alleviate inequality will also result in inflation: the flip side of having lots of money is that everything you spend it on costs more.

> also nobody denies location is used to personalize pricing

Why would anyone be surprised that location is a factor for a ride service? Location and availability of drivers are basically the two main inputs.

The service wouldn’t make much sense if they didn’t consider location of your start and finish points when pricing rides. This isn’t some nefarious scheme.
> The whole presentation felt like the kind of presentation you give internally to a VP when you haven't been making much progress. Flood them with challenges and implementation detail decisions they can't follow and don't talk about results.

That hurts me a bit, because I feel like I've done that sometimes. But that's what makes it easy for me to pick up on, when other people do that sort of stuff.

Good presentations are more direct. Ex: Here's our ResNet-50 benchmark numbers. Or at very least, "We didn't run ResNet50, because we don't think its realistic. Instead, we ran this other benchmark along with NVidia A100 GPUs and are proving that our system is faster "

You need to prove your system has a benchmark score worth considering before diving into architectural details... at least if you're trying to attract engineering talent to your project.

Although aether and fields share a couple similarities, that they're both conceptualized as filling space, and both are wave media, they have a big difference, which is that fields behave the same no matter how fast you are going, whereas aether is like air or water in that you move "though" it. Removing the concept of through-moving from space was one of the big changes that relativity made to scientific thinking.

The big consequence of through-moving was that if you send out a wave, and then move through its medium in the direction of the emission, you will "chase after" the wave front and it will escape from you more slowly than if you sat still after sending it. It turns out that this does not happen in real life when the waves involved are light or gravity. Instead, they escape you just as quickly no matter how fast you chase after them.

This was discovered in the Michelson-Morley experiment where an attempt was made to detect the motion of the earth through the universe but instead no evidence of moving through the medium that bore light was found.

Edit: By the way, I think the downvotes the parent comment received are completely unfair, they are asking for an explanation, not claiming there are no differences.

It's said to objectify women. More specifically, the Johns are treating women's bodies as something that can be traded commercially. The more that is normalised, the more it damages all women - not just prostitutes.

The thing is, for those parents who can afford one parent to stay home, in 99% of cases it's the mothers who end up as stay-at-home parents, and their careers (and with it, their post-childraising perspectives) go down the drain.

The current world abuses schools as whole day care institutions so that both parents can be exploited and worked to the ground, and when parents and children are home they are so tired they lack the energy to do anything meaningful besides eating some kind of processed food, play a round of video games, and go to bed.

In an ideal world, a full working week with a living wage would have 20 hours so that both parents can work four hours a day and then enjoy life with their children in the afternoon.
