> You no doubt realize that money doesn’t change who you are. It can, however, change others’ perceptions of you. People project their own needs, resentments, insecurities and ambitions onto others. Compare and despair is an often unavoidable human trait.

This, so much. It doesn't even take that much money for some people to recategorize you in their head, once they figure out you have more than them.
Why not just vacation to a place where shallow people congregate (say... Las Vegas?) and stay in a ridiculously opulent hotel while renting a ridiculously fancy automobile? Stay a couple of weeks, eat fancy meals, receive the various plaudits of those who admire wealth, and when it all gets sickening one can just fly home. One would have to spend the extra money it takes to keep one's true identity confidential, but that's one of the many perks of wealth.
It is also worth mentioning that similarly, it was reported that NFC based transactions do not stop when card services are cancelled. One may think that the process of payment transaction checks for flags of expiration, service cancellation etc. before actually transferring money. Instead, it is possible that a stolen NFC-equipped card is used successfully long after the emitter was informed that the card is to be invalidated, and money should be recovered through the financial services (insurance) instead of, simply, never have been moved.
> Surely by 67 you should understand that wrong is the eye of the beholder.

Knowing that and feeling that are two different things. Sometimes you just need to hear it from another person (and, quite often, you should - it's easy to get stuck in a wrong view). There's nothing wrong with asking.
How does a stylist learn “style” and why could an algorithm not perform the same?
I hate this policy. It harmed my credit deeply for years, because all I did to restart charges was log into an old website (email management)

And since I didn’t even have the card anymore I didn’t see the charges for months.

And nothing I could do would resolve it.
Any hardware entrepreneurs here?
As long as I can rent it to solve the homework of my children which are in your class that's fine.

In fact if you feel comfortable it gets everything right and doesn't kill people in situations where humans don't please consider extending to a larger area of homework until you feel comfortable letting it carry out PHD level research assignments.
> If you want to keep all the money, then you need to do all of the work.

The person you're responding to isn't even talking about the cut. It's the threshold at which you may take money out of the ecosystem. Both YouTube and Roblox take a cut, but with Roblox, even after the cut, you need to have made a substantial amount of money before you can see a penny of it.
Nope! I like Three.js though. These visualizations are pretty intense.
Because it doesn't apply in the context of OP where they said

> Violence isn't restricted to physical harm, though. Bullying people is a violent process.

Where even the WHO definition requires physical force to be a part of the calculation. Calling someone insulting names could easily be considered bullying, but that has nothing to do with violence.

All that aside, I'm fine with words being 'abused' to help make a rhetorical point. My issue was attempting to redefine the word rather than acknowledge it as an attempt to borrow the connotation. I.e. borrowing violence to describe bulling by name calling is fine, but saying that bullying is violent by definition does a disservice to both.
They seem too well-educated to not be aware of toxic algae (very common throughout northern CA), and would know to not drink the water -- and certainly not give it to the child. Dogs do often tragically die every summer from drinking from streams, though. Similarly, it's odd for a responsible couple with a child and dog to not know to bring water, etc.

Heat or alage aren't impossible, but it sure does seem odd.
It's very much not ok : it encourages reusing a single variable for multiple uses (think loop index for two successive loops). I can't count the number of bugs I've seen because of that, of someone forgetting that there was already a 'ret' or 'i' variable defined at the top and reusing it directly when it should have been cleared... Minimizing the scope of variables and introducing sub-scopes with braces, makes this problem almost entirely disappear.
Although the fact that the 3b1b team isn't using the community version makes me wonder why and whether the community version is actually better. In any case I'll take their word for it that it's more beginner friendly.
How does Ancana mitigate the low liquidity that is traditionally associated with fractional ownership models? How does an owner get out of a deal?
Water retention needs to be made a bigger issue globally. Others eluded to the fact that what is effectively the draining of the water cycle in CA is a main cause of CA's water/fire problems, but that is also the problem in places like central Europe where the straightening of the rivers during industrialization (19th C.) is and has essentially been "draining the swamp" of the central European water cycle.

It's something I have had the hardest time getting people to understand. The various straightened rivers all throughout Europe that have far less retention capacity than in the past, are essentially drainage canals that are sucking the whole of the central European region dry of water, which will only compound problems.

There are a couple things going on that are fooling people into an illusion that everything being fine, but it is happening and it is causing the low rainfalls, the low snow packs, and the low cloud cover that increases temperatures that are all perceived as/blamed on global warming.

If Europeans don't stop the draining of the continent, the problems and heat will only accelerate. Just alone in order to prevent the necessity of using climate control systems that devour energy should be enough of an argument to try to restore the cloud cover and rainfalls that could lower temperatures to what they were like before the rivers were straightened and evaporation also caused more winds and breezes.
Lightning leaves a mess and can be easily determined.
> Drowning with bricks?

I think you should read the article again.

> "Under Mysterious Circumstances" - means to me the investigators are: wtf.

They will have a very good assessment of the situation. They are not "wtf"

They were/are missing something from their normal patterns. They had to react to protocol on the day. Now they will want something solid.

They will know how heat exhaustion looks, they will see all water bottles are empty for instance. It also is/isn't normal for that to happen within 2 miles of the car. Deputies also would not call them experienced hikers if they ran out of water. Nor would you expect people with their world travel and older age to hike with a baby with too little water. The police know a lot more than what we know and I'd find it unlikely from here the outcome will be different to what the police suspect.
Way to humble brag about your winnings there fella.

I'd want to know did he at least help his parents be more comfortable in their final years. Has he enjoyed the money at all; taken some trips or had some experiences that only money can buy you?

It's fine if he didn't, but what's the point if you aren't enjoying it to some extent.

If I may speak on behalf of the author:

There's a great deal of frustration and fatigue in that comment.

The expectation isn't that the general public would have been aware of that risk. The general public is not sophisticated, and has been greatly misinformed.

The technical world, the firms offering and provisioning devices, the carriers, the financiers and banks behind this, especially, are.

Technology is the art of balancing desired and undesired effects.

For-profit business is the art of externalising risk.

And the heart of finance itself is risk.

There's a very long record of cautions and warnings. They were ignored, largely because in the short term and with suffient levels of externalisation and arabitrage, those risks were profitable.

Most people don't even understand the notion of a random windfall, financially. It's something you should just put in the bank and literally forget about, unless you have high-interest debt to pay off or the like.

Drawing down on a windfall should be a very serious decision, not something done casually. That money you're spending on pure consumption is not coming back, ever, so only use it for experiences and endeavors that will meaningfully improve the life of yourself or whoever you care about.
Thank you for the information. Though, I do wonder: how can boiling increase the toxin levels? Or does it simply increase the concentration because some water has evaporated?
For years, Stitch Fix stylists have been training Stitch Fix ML models to do their jobs. Now the CEO doesn’t need them and showed them the door. This is just the way of doing it which makes the company seem like a victim of its own incompetence instead of a ruthless capitalist automating its people out of their jobs.
Is it possible that proportionally more mortgages were lent to riskier borrowers in years past, and as the years have gone on, for a variety of reasons, mortgages in general are now lent to less risky borrowers than before?

Also a conflating factor is if borrowers were perceived as riskier in previous years, but for whatever reasons, are now perceived as less risky.

Also, this is data is from a Freddie Mac website, so is it only for conforming loans? Could it be that many homes have moved up in price such that their mortgage information would no longer be reflected in this average from Freddie Mac because their mortgages are no longer conforming?
They don't. A case went to the Supreme Court and said Congress needed to make that decision, not an unelected CDC, but that they wouldn't rescind the current existing order...which then expired. Biden basically said as much, and that he was going to do it anyway and extended it after it lapsed. For some reason, the news doesn't really cover that Biden is in direct violation of the Supreme Court with his latest extension and he knew, publicly said so, and did it anyway.

> Biden said on Tuesday he had sought out constitutional scholars to determine the CDC’s legal authority and “what could they do that is most likely to pass muster constitutionally.” The “bulk” of the scholarship reviewed by the White House said additional action by the CDC would not pass muster in the courts, Biden said, adding that there were some “key scholars” who said it could.

The bulk of constitutional "experts" said it wasn't constitutional. He found one or more that didn't agree with that assessment, so he went with the few against the majority.

This is a great podcast episode on the subject of sanctions. I'm pretty uneducated about this stuff and found it really informative.
That’d be an interesting study to conduct (has it been?).

The question would then arise,
do people who only believe in “micro-evolution”, have enough open mindedness to appreciate that virus evolution can lead to significant changes in pathogen virulence and transmission. And do they make appropriate policy decisions based on it.

My feeling is that those beliefs are in fact harmful, but I don’t know really how much of an issue it is. Do people who don’t want to wear masks appreciate the danger of allowing the virus to infect large numbers of people, thereby creating a significantly larger chance of mutation? Is not wearing masks part of the misunderstanding or unfamiliarity with the evolutionary issues? I don’t know.
Recently I discovered that they can also send refunds to a cancelled card.
No. Not even close. This isn't 7-11 trying to con me into buying their scary hot dogs, these are bad people, in all senses of the word.

They need third parties to think that working with them is their best option. Their best option is to do something legal, but desperate people can be manipulated. Greedy people can be really manipulated. Maintaining the illusion of safety is just marketing.

If the game is extortion, then psychological manipulation is part of the game. I have no assurances that you've given me $1.4 million today and this is the last I will ever hear from you. If I know little about you I can't even turn State's Evidence to save my ass if I get caught but you don't. If I think I know that you or anyone with details of your operation won't come back later and threaten to turn me in unless I pay you money, then I'm a fucking idiot. You could ask for money, or to "deliver a package" for you. In that situation, what you and your associates are counting on me forgetting is that I am mortgaging my future by piling on new crimes with later statute of limitations dates, and establishing a pattern of behavior that makes me look even more complicit.

There is no honor among thieves. Stop trying to figure out how to pet a wolf without getting bit.
Sounds like my time as a system administrator at a smaller software shop.

1. At least eight hours a day, usually more.

2. Often two or three people lined up waiting for help by my cube, relentless Slack messages, it's release day but they found a bug. Sounds persistently stressful.

3. Who has time to eat with all that going on?

Sounds like a YMMV kind of solution. In fact, I've since moved on and I think I'm losing some pudge I'd put on there. Point two probably grew my list of bad habits though, so maybe chess grandmasters have a discipline level I don't.
> Word of advice: don't tell your family how much you make either.

YMMV. I don't have any immediate family members who are at risk for monetary issues (luckily) and I have not had any issues with them knowing how much I earn. I'm also lucky that my family has been taught the value of a dollar since I was little. Not everyone has that advantage so I can definitely see why the default advice should be "don't tell them".

My dad's sisters and some cousins on the other hand...ya...they don't need to know.
Nuclear program of Iran (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_program_of_Iran)

"The nuclear program of Iran has included several research sites, two uranium mines, a research reactor, and uranium processing facilities that include three known uranium enrichment plants.[1] In 1970, Iran ratified the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT),[2] making its nuclear program subject to the IAEA's verification. ... In the 2000s, the revelation of Iran's clandestine uranium enrichment program raised concerns that it might be intended for non-peaceful uses. The IAEA launched an investigation in 2003 after an Iranian dissident group revealed undeclared nuclear activities carried out by Iran.[5][6] In 2006, because of Iran's noncompliance with its NPT obligations, the United Nations Security Council demanded that Iran suspend its enrichment programs. ... However, in July 2019 the IAEA stated that Iran had breached the agreement.[19] Iran has, since its breach in July 2019 of the JCPOA,[20] embroiled itself in controversy with half of the JCPOA signatories because a November 2020 IAEA report said that Iran had further developed centrifuge technology, the novelty of which was explicitly prohibited by the JCPOA.[21] The IAEA report also said that Tehran "holds more than 12 times the amount of enriched uranium permitted under the JCPOA, and that "work has also begun on the construction of new underground facilities close to Natanz, its main enrichment facility".[22]"
Funny how Peter Singer condemns comfort while living comfortably enough to have the time to write and publish a dozen books [1]. That time could've really helped a lot of people. Wonder what his thoughts on hypocrisy are.

For me, other people's problems aren't my problem. If I won a billion dollars I'd probably donate to things generously out of mild interest in trying to make the world more to my liking, but that's about it. Not my fault if others are suffering, nor is it my fault if I get lucky some day.

In my experience I've found that the more of a martyr someone tries to be, having a boat and trying to save others from drowning, the more they end up just being another body in the water, leaving the world worse off than if they had helped less.

Sure. But last I checked nobody had more than one.
Back when I flew gliders, every educated pilot knew that the intermediate (aka "avid") pilots killed themselves the most. This is well established statistically. Overconfidence, complaisance with risk, etc.
The down payment hurdle is indeed a problem.

However, if we took steps to make down payments easier (by lowering down payment requirements or through something like Biden's first-time homebuyer credit) then we're also pumping more money into the housing market. That will drive prices up again, further raising prices and making it even harder for future buyers to enter the market.

The only real way to push affordability down, long-term, is to build more. I'd personally like to see incentives targeted toward something like all-new construction (no tear-down rebuilds, only new houses where previous houses didn't exist).

Give people money to spend on new construction and the new construction will follow.
iMessage does not use the CSAM scanner, only the upload to iCloud Photos does.

The iMessage feature is a local porn-ish detector on sent/received images with a click-through. It is only for children on family accounts, and if the child is under 13 a click-through is reported to the parent.
Not forever, but longer than anyone who is already able to qualify for a mortgage can wait. It will go on until baby boomers start dying in large numbers. That won't happen until the mid 2030s. By 2050 housing will be a buyer's market.
> How is streaming not transferring under the law?

I'm not sure if this has been tested in courts, but there seems to be a legal theory that a streaming function corresponds to broadcasting (only creating transient copies, if any, by default) while a download function corresponds to publication (creating a permanent copy by default). I'm not sure which definitions apply to 2257, but US copyright law says that copies are "material objects [...] in which a work is fixed". So if your system is only designed to transfer into volatile/transient storage, you can apparently argue that you're not responsible for creating copies. I suspect a similar distinction is being made here.

> Edit: This article is also interesting in that it characterizes Mickelwait as a "human rights activist" without mentioning Mickelwait basically being the COO of Exodus Cry, which is an anti-gay/abortion/LGBTQ group among other things.

This kind of laundering is common in opinionated outlets, and ostensibly neutral ones aren't immune either. Keep an eye out for sources being described with phrases like "concerned parent" or "concerned resident", for example.
I think the CEO is missing a major point. Their competitive advantage might be that they AREN'T algorithmic.

Shopping algorithms seem really good at finding very similar items in my experience. That's great when I'm shopping for a cheap router, or some other commodity. When shopping for something like clothing, you frequently want VERY dissimilar items to compare, OR you want complementary, but differently categorized items.

Get rid of the human touch at your own peril. Especially when your business model is built on taste.

Looking at stitch fix pricing it is not cheap. It looks a lot like you would expect somewhere like Nordstrom's to price. It's worth noting that Nordstrom's is more than happy to have an employee act as a personal stylist at no cost.

I made a good deal from long-term crypto holdings and never told anyone, and it was much easier that way. I would still help family; they just didn't know how easy it was for me to help them, and so didn't ask for more.

Startup exit happened and a wrench got thrown in it all, though. Many acquaintances from years ago would text me about having had a class with me and having seen the news. I told myself I'd reply after a few weeks but in the end never did.

The paranoia since has made me a substantially worse person, and taken away how easily I trust.

When it comes to dating, I alternate between "money is now the most stable part of my life, so who cares if people partially like me over it? I earned it after all!" and "it's not as meaningful, I want someone who likes me solely for my other traits, but I can't trust whether that's the case."

Do everything you can to keep your success private.
If your 18 year old daughter posts pictures of her butthole that's her choice. My question was why is porn somehow worse than videos about video games or book reviews. What if your daughter makes videos about games while wearing skimpy clothes? What if her book reviews are about trashy lurid romance novels? Where's your line for prudishness? Individually you may not want your daughter doing it but if she chooses to, or more importantly someone else's daughter chooses to, who are you, I, or other random people to shame them for doing so? It's their buttholes (and bodies) and they can do what they like with them.
This week I have had two of my few friendships hit the rocks who have approached me for money.

One is pushing me to invest in his business, and one approached me for a reasonably large loan.

I've explained to both that I don't feel able to, but I can tell that both feel I am being unreasonable because it's only $XXk which they know isn't that significant to me.

I wish they hadn't have asked as it feels fatal for the friendships.

I already feel a bit of an outsider for sometimes having money.

Maybe all of these problems are in my own head.....

Either way, the lottery winner had the right idea.
>I learned this the hard way once when I tried to get rid of a $5 subscription I didn't understand with Discover. I naively figured I would just request a new card and that would be that

That's a bad idea anyways. Just because your credit card was declined doesn't mean you're off the hook. Most businesses are reasonable and won't chase you further, but some persistent ones (eg. gyms) are known to continue your subscription and send your bill to collections.

I expect it'll need to be higher than $1 because there's going to be some legal matters to deal with around paying the legally-minor creators any amount of money.

To be honest, when I think about it that way, you're not going to get that far under $1000 no matter what you do. There's tax forms at the very least, and probably extra stuff to do with dealing with minors, plus generalized legal risk of being sued or investigated anyhow... we need to be dealing with more than a few bucks here before it's worth Roblox's time & risk. Some of this is the cost of protecting minors, too.
Then why does the Iranian government deserve any of the blame for the US punishing Iranian citizens?
IIRC older projects of 3b1b don't necessarily build with later, evolving versions of 3b1b Manim. There might be some mix of versioning questions mixed in with branding questions.
