Debate, dissent, and protest on Reddit – Reddit's stance on Covid misinformation
Good thing that technical issues are not up to popularity contests.
I think you know on its face that’s not even remotely equivalent to what we’re talking about here. Each country you’re referring to is a part of the EU and as a member still has control of the overall policy. Just because they agree to making it democratic doesn’t somehow mean that private individuals now operate outside the scope of their collective control.

Assuming it's more than a publicity stunt, this is the kind of thing we really need to combat climate change. Cargo ships are enormous polluters (and not even just of greenhouse gases)
A statement is true of 'almost all' x in the set X if, when sampling from X, the probability that the statement will be true of the value you sample is exactly 1.

If you think there's a conflict between "arbitrarily small size" and "nothing to do with cardinality", there isn't; this is a different kind of size.

(OK, there is a relationship to cardinality, but two sets of the same cardinality can be different sizes by this metric, and two sets of the same size can have different cardinalities.)
I think this case was pretty obviously theft and it’s like saying that if you can put in the credit card numbers correctly then you can spend the money. It is obviously theft to trick someone else into giving you their money or stealing their numbers.

I’m more curious about cases where some smart contract gives away a load of money because of some bug. There are legal cases where a contract says something stupid and courts uphold the contract and there are legal cases where a contract says something stupid and the courts instead go for the thing the contract meant to say. A funny example is that lawyers don’t like to write an equation into a contract and sometimes someone will tell them the equation that everyone agrees on for calculating interest, and they will convert it to words in the contract and the conversion will be incorrect leading to e.g. applying interest of “inflation since start of contract” cumulatively each year (leading to superexponential growth).
I'm not a Randian or whatever, but it doesn't seem that inconceivable to imagine a hypothetical government which provides security/military/justice services without enforcing a monetary policy. I can think of many potential difficulties running and funding such a government, but it's not like the concept is so absurd that such a government can't ever possibly exist sometime within the next tens of thousands of years.
AFAIK, Pfizer is actually mandating previously infected employees to get vaccinated. Not FUD.

> "Well gee, the headline says they made $22B from the pandemic, I guess they must be filthy rich off of this!".

There is a difference between having something to lose from acknowledging that previously infected individuals have strong protection against Covid19 and the way you make it sound.

> Read a balance sheet. It will do you some good.

I have. Some very deeply. Thank you very much for your concern.
I downvoted you because this is a straw man. Very few people believe in this and even if they did it doesn't mean the individual involved here believes that.
1. It's still right there [0], it never went anywhere

2. When companies say things, people say that words are meaningless, we want to see action. But then when they actual put money where their mouth is, now we're back to complaining about what they advocate for? What does repeatedly saying "do no evil" actually achieve?

It's pretty straight-forward. The left can't stand Rogan because he allows the non-left (not just the alt-right; the non-left) to have a platform. They don't actually care what the material is, what the issue is, they can't tolerate anything that isn't their own bubble, their own world views. The left controls ~95% of all media and it still isn't enough. Any platform that gives a voice to anything other than their own views, is fundamentally bad and is not to be tolerated. That's why most of the censorship push is coming from the left today, they're the party of intolerance and it's not just about the alt-right or far-right. Comedians broadly are terrified of the left's crazy censorship push, they're speaking out about it on a constant basis; comedians are almost always the canaries in the speech coal mine.

An obvious example of this in action, is Jordan Peterson, who the left almost universally detests. He's neither alt-right nor far-right, and yet the left tries to slander and control him with that label constantly (bury him under fake labels). If you're not in total agreement with them, you're the enemy; that's widely the ethos of the intolerant left today. Rogan has given people like Peterson a large platform to speak through. That's the sort of thing the left hates Rogan for.
That's a fair take, and yet to acknowledge bitcoin as property means it would fall under the same laws and regulations that currently govern property ownership.

Originally, crypto enthusiasts - especially the ones with an anarchist streak - were into the idea that crypto would exist completely outside of government control, i.e. the government wouldn't even recognize it as property. So if thieves trick you into sending coins to the wrong address, tough luck, you should've been more careful.

To sue in court over property theft means the government must recognize crypto as property, and as such, crypto is brought into the fold of government oversight.

No, I said without a government you could just "deal" with it yourself. I didn't say if government was good or bad. The statement here was folks were up in arms that someone was talking about going through legal process to get bitcoin back. Now you're upset that I stated that government was what was holding them back from taking non-legal options.

Tell me oh wise one, how do you get your money back if you live in a place with no government or organization and there are no legal means? Do you expect all of society is just going to get it back for you? All you'd have is yourself, and your way to deal with it.
Skewing it how? To people who probably have good perspective on the issue?
In relative historical terms these wages are incredibly low when Amazon has approximately $289,138 per employee in gross revenue. If you had a similar company in 1970 this payscale would be nearly triple what is reflected with similarly situated employees starting at 1.3x revenue per employee instead of 0.55x.

This isn't a criticism of Amazon in particular but to show in general just how unbelievably low we have allowed wages to fall in the face of historically unprecedented gains in per employee productivity.
Count me in. It's baffling to me, I don't think I'd ever run out of interesting, fulfilling things to fill my free time with. Quite the opposite.

Cooler heads prevailed it sounds like. Not a fan of the site, but I'm in favor of sex workers actually getting paid, rather than just exploited and left homeless and penniless after a few years. Net-net, it's an improvement over the status quo.
The defendants are in the UK, and the plaintiff in the US. The plaintiff filed their suit in Colorado according to the article. Even though the US has this rule that they will appoint you a lawyer, I don’t know if that applies when the defendant is a foreign national who is not even physically in the US. And I don’t know the UK legal system but if it’s anything like my country then they may need to hire the lawyer themselves. And it could be that they cannot afford this. I mean sure the kids stole a lot of Bitcoin but it’s not a good idea to use the stolen money until they know whether or not they get away with it. (And for the record I hope of course that they are forced to return the stolen Bitcoins.)

Furthermore even though the mother is representing the son, it is possible that they have already sought advice from a lawyer on what to say.

IANAL, TINLA.

I graduated University in December, a semester early, with the intention of using that second semester off for traveling. Obviously, with COVID that didn’t happen so I instead decided to move my start date up at Big Tech Co. to February.

Now 9 months in I feel like I’m burnt out as well. For me it’s a combination of health issues but also the response to COVID. When restrictions lifted at the start of summer and everyone I knew got vaccines I mentally prepared for the end of the storm. And for a few weeks it looked like that. The summer was fun and I got to be social again and feel like the world was going back normal. Then a trip was cancelled overseas because of the Delta variant. And now restrictions are being put back in place and it’s just not clear what’s going to happen. The idea that things may never go back to pre-covid times and that when people are confronted with the possibility of covid being here to stay many of them argue that the status quo is ideal really depresses me. I cannot live in this world where I cannot see people’s faces and work is just zoom meeting after zoom meeting. It’s not just the light at the end of the tunnel that I crave, it’s seeing the light at all that i crave. I crave knowing this will come to an end.
"In charge of its monetary policy" can mean a hundred different things, so that is impossible to answer directly. While a centralized (and government controlled, regardless of what it would have you believe) banking system seems as obvious today as a national military, it is a relatively modern invention. The Fed itself didn't exist until 1913. USA was on the gold standard until 1933. The US dollar wasn't a fiat currency until 1971.

Some of this country's greatest achievements have come in a system where the government still had full legislative, executive and judicial powers but had to operate under basic rules like not being able to print money for themselves whenever they felt like it.
There are a lot of very vocal minorities on the internet, across a wide range of groups.
Can we change the headline? It makes it sound as if the judge just up and decided one day to freeze enrollment, when in fact what happened is that a plaintiff specifically requested such an action, or that such an action was required pursuant to a ruling in the plaintiff’s favor in a specific case.
That is because you call it H1B transfer, but in reality it is a new application for a new job position, just that you can do it any time and not wait for the lottery. RFEs are part of the process, if your supporting documents don't establish that you have the qualifications for the new role, you need to provide supporting evidence. It has always existed, regardless of any administration.

Also, because it is a new application, your old one does not expire, so you can always continue your current job till you sort things out. And you can always file a third application with a third employer if things don't work out with your RFE. Changing jobs isn't as crazy as people make it out to be, unless you really don't meet the minimum.

No one has mentioned it, although it may well be a factor.

I think it's not so much the politics as it is that people see other interests and don't know what to do with them. It's as if having done additional things during your life somehow dilutes the main things.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but sounds like bad gas released from the ground caused the oceans to acidify, destroying most species, this in turn caused land animals to follow suit.
Just because in our world governments have a monopoly on laws and criminal courts, it doesn't mean that a world without governments would have no laws or criminal courts.

I'm not a fan of BTC because it's unbacked but I do care about having an irreversible money transfer tool and I do care about not having governments.

I'll give you an example.

In a society without governments, there would be no-one able to prevent the use of violence.
Eventually, organisations which provide violence as a service (whether offensive or defensive) would come up.
The expensive nature of violence (nobody in their right mind would spend the money we spend on wars if the cost of war wasn't socialised through mandatory taxes) would push these organisations to negotiate contracts to settle matters peacefully instead of losing employees for the quibbles of their clients.
Deciding to acquire a protection service from one of these company would end up meaning accepting the different set of laws they would enforce between companies. The fear of a costly war between agencies and the fear of their reputation dropping with clients would keep these companies following the rules and the contracts they agreed to.

A protection service covering thieves would be hard pressed to find agreements with other protection services: the thieves stole X$ and is paying Z$ to their protection service where Z<X (otherwise what's the profit of stealing if it all goes in protection service); the victim is seeking X$+fees, the thieves' protection service needs to either pay X and eventually go bankrupt or ask X to the thieves, which is equivalent to give back X$+fees.

There are two scenarios:

- The thieves are not protected by any third party protection service: the victim's protection agency sends a few armed employees and retrieve what was forcefully stolen

- The thieves are protected by a third party protection service: the victim's protection agency and the thieves' protection agency agree to resolve the matter with a private court and agree to be bound by the judge decision. The judge has an economic interest in being fair or his reputation will go down the bin and he won't have clients anymore. After the court result, the thieves can return the money + fees or have the victim's protection agency forcefully retrieve the stolen goods or be sent to a prison-work camp until they repaid their debt.
You have a long way to go but at least people have worn the path before you [1] so that it's easier than ever to find out what you need to do and how to do it.

A number of years ago, the finest dev I personally know hit peak burnout. He quit his job, went to truck driving school, and became a long-haul truck driver.

He did that for five years or so, and is now a dev again.

He said that it was a great decision. The work was different enough that it let the dev parts of his mind rest, but had enough similarities that it stayed interesting enough for a while.

He also said that he was completely surprised by how many truck drivers he met who used to be devs. I'm not sure if that speaks to software development or truck driving, but there seems to be an overlap there.

In any case, I do think that a viable option to being unemployed is to take up a job that exercises different muscles than your current position does for a while. It worked for one person, anyway.
Then why is anyone mad that a bitcoin holder is talking about
using the legal process?

If you think bitcoin holders should be hardcore anarchists you should believe that they should live in a world with those outcomes, whatever you believe they are.
I'd say the average user puts in next to no effort though. I'd be more interested in the average profit per hour spent working on the platform.
It helps a lot to think your management knows what it's doing. If you're stressing out on the latest likely "swing and a miss" feature that you think they picked using a dart board and ransom-note cutouts from magazines, you can end up burnt out for a good long time.
The European Parliament has regulatory powers over the ECB that are almost exactly the same as the Congress' powers over the Fed, even down to the numbers.

So yeah, Germany does have control over its own monetary policy, they just made a political choice to share that power with France, Italy, Spain, etc.
You can laud anything for anything you want. Meanwhile, the person who stole 16.xx bitcoins in a way that was traceable to them, while exposing themselves to legal process, also had bad opsec.

I'm sure in the wild west there were plenty of cases where a dispute went to the person who had the authorities on their side.
Meh, gotta learn it somewhere. Some kid in the neighborhood broke into a bunch of mailboxes. Looked him up, looked up his dad. It came as no surprise that the kid's father is no longer allowed to make telephone sales in the state of Tennessee. I'll leave it to the reader's imagination as to why that might be.
You're skipping the other side of it, where someone else also "deals" with you as a problem. Not that you stole anything. They just can, because they have more force available and no government means they can.

Dystopian fiction is not something to strive for.
The fact you find his guests interesting is in part due to Joe's success as a podcaster. He's able to get the best out of his guests by the way he questions them and keeps the conversation going. He doesn't pretend to be knowledgeable but knows enough about the topics to be able to prompt the guests for more info.

In saying that, I've stopped listening to him since he went onto Spotify. The only episode I've listened to in full since he switched was the recent Tarantino interview, which was great.

A million jobs related to guns. It would be a good start for a security career transition. Law enforcement.
From everyone else: "That can be arranged."
That stood out to me too - I think it's either a gross exaggeration to make a point ('way too much'), or they're trying to replicate office atmosphere (I don't mean to make that sound like a good idea...) by running it constantly.
There’s no admission of guilt here. They’re just starting with this as an initial argument as the rest becomes moot if the motion succeeds.

Apparently in your idea, if someone were forced to live in a society with no law, order, or organization they should just peacefully let themselves be parted with all they have by anyone who cares to take it.
I do something similar to this for my kids, they each have an email address which I send some pictures and/or message to every day. On my passing they will get the details to access the accounts.

I thought it was important to leave them something that they can reflect on, memories, thoughts, reasons, and an understanding of me in some ways and how they impacted on my life.

Certainly adding call/cc doesn't allow you to represent more computable functions by programs. But there are plenty of internal features of programs that we're interested in, that let us meaningfully distinguish amongst programs that otherwise have the exact same observable behavior.

I like coroutines as an example here, because I have very direct experience writing programs with similar behavior in systems that either do or do not have coroutines. By far, I found the coroutine-based programs far easier to understand and extend.

Baidu Wangpan is a dropbox-like service, that has torrent download as a small feature.

Imagine you want to stream a video file on your mobile, but:

1) The video file is only available via a torrent along with other files you don't want to watch right now, and

2) Your internet connection doesn't have great throughput, and

3) You will watch the file on a mobile device, so can compromise on resolution and compression.

The easiest thing would be to download the torrent on Baidu Wangpan, and then stream the parts you want to your mobile device.
