> The interesting information is total amount owed by the government minus total amount owed to the government.

That is correct.

In the case of social security, you also have to account the total amount that social security owes to its contributors.

Because at the end of the day, Social Security has to pay out benefits, this debt isn't just pointless accounting fiction.

"Social security owns government debt" very clearly communicates that the government indiscriminately defaulting on loans will mean that social security beneficiaries will have to take a haircut - just like if I replace the words "Social security" with "XYZ pension fund." Just because the government runs this particular pension fund doesn't mean that it's all that much different, accounting-wise from a private one.

Just looked into this and I think it's worth mentioning that there are two different projects called `yq`. The first one that came up (written in go instead of python) is not the right one and doesn't have the `xq` tool.

What is "no community involvement"?

The chart is one from a game theoretically optimal solver for the whole game, one which assumes the opponent knows your exact strategy.

K4o is raised often by this solver because the hands that you'd otherwise raise with are lacking 4s. The computer doesn't want her to raise, then see a 4 (or two) on the flop, and have her opponent know for certain that she doesn't have a 4 in her hand.

To be honest this is not something humans worry about too much pre-flop. More likely a human would raise one of K4o/K5o/K6o/K7o 100% of the time and fold the rest. Your opponent doesn't know which so you're not exploitable like above, and you don't have to worry about the nuance of "Is this hand one of the 60% I should raise this?" on a critical hand, and you get to play better hands overall.
Imagine the BLING if you combined that with this:

It won't kill the hobby. Because these scanlators are making mad money from ads, patreon, crypto mining. I'll never get why they don't get more aggressive take down notices from Chinese/Japanese/Korean publishers.
EPEL does, however. Don't most RHEL/CentOS users enable this? The default CentOS repos don't even have software like nginx or Ansible, and I think it'd be hard to argue that these aren't "mature"

But also, if you're using RHEL/CentOS, haven't you implicitly signed up to _not_ running the cutting edge software? You get what the vendor will support. That's the tradeoff you have chosen by picking such a distribution.
Not OP, but no it's not.

For example; are the Nordics or most of Europe socialist?

If they are and are functioning it means it can work. If they are not, maybe people have differing opinions of what socialism entails.

What usually is a "no true scotsman" argument is when someone only calls something socialist when it's not working, because if an implementation is working that would deflate the argument. See a few posts above.
I also think that part of the resistance to calling Covid transmission "airborne" has to do with containing mass hysteria. Droplets are "things," matter we can wipe away, dodge like bullets in The Matrix. A virus being airborne instills an even greater level of fear then is already apparent, because "airborne" takes the control out of it. "How can we clean the air?" Air isn't a "thing." Even the arguments for the airborne theory (which I'm partial to believe) are basically trying to make manageable a concept that seems impossible to manage--the cleaning of the air, the idea that airborne does not necessarily mean "out of our control."
I’m not sure what anyone was promised, but just from a basic logical perspective, if opportunities are really equal then, over time, outcomes will equalize as well.

I’m not a progressive, but if over decades of pursuing liberal policies outcomes are not equalizing, it seems to make sense to try to figure out why and find something better to try.
Well, I’m certain cockroaches can’t learn calculus. Neither can apes or monkeys. Some humans can. Therefore I think that brain composition has something to do with learning calculus. There is variation in said brain composition amongst humans. It seems reasonable to think that the set of all people is not a subset of all things that can learn calculus.

I haven’t performed any genetics tests but brain composition is partly determined by genetics so genetics might play role, right?
I'm an American and agree completely. My concern is that this '90% struggling' is considered by too many to be a default, the desired state of things. This pops up over and over again in so many ways.

I think it leads to people drawing their distinctions, around who is superior and who is inferior, and then it leads to those people making an unnecessary logical jump and deciding that those inferior people need to be HURT or REMOVED… and we've seen all this before.

And they go from there to decide that anyone arguing, wishes to crown those inferior people as the kings, and hurt the superior ones, because that's the only way they can perceive anything anymore… and they just get hostile and paranoid we've seen all that before too.

I don't know how to convince them that seeking a civilized environment for all the people (without it being conditional on performance) produces the best societal result, through the widest possible range for SOME person of whatever description to excel.

It seems like there are a lot of people for whom, they're more than happy to throw away overall system performance because they're mad that anything lower-performing can even exist. They are PC builders so mad that RAM can't run as fast as L2 cache that they're all CPU and refuse to have any RAM installed. It's stark madness from my point of view.

Naive question, I don't live where you live. But who is the "us" that your friends speak of? Black people? Black Americans? Black people from a specific subculture?

And finally, what determines that college is not for the "us" your friend refers to? Culture? Post-graduation job prospects? At least from his perspective.

> If the CCP wanted to give themselves the worst look possible, they succeeded.

CCP doesn't care about looks any more. Not since they realized they could take Hongkong over and no one in the West would bat an eye, sans granting visas to well-known exilants. For what it's worth, since the US pulling out of Kurdistan and then the clusterfuck that was the Afghanistan retreat, it doesn't even seem like the US will defend Taiwan in case of a Chinese invasion.

That's why it is vital to rein in bullies as long as you can... as soon as they realize no one will stop them, they will only escalate.
Here's the trick: the vaporous debt money becomes real when the oligarchs and people that matter use it to get paid real money, for whatever business dealings with the country, money which they then put in a real bank. When they avoid taxes, the theft becomes complete.

This is just ridiculous.. If they receive a notice to log your IP address, they should notify you first. My trust in ProtonMail is gone.
According to their statement:

> under Swiss law, Proton can be forced to collect information on accounts belonging to users under Swiss criminal investigation. This is obviously not done by default, but only if Proton gets a legal order for a specific account.

So I assume normally IP addresses aren't logged. But they can enable IP address logging for specific accounts when ordered to do so.

There is very little practical difference in the protection that gives users, but seemingly the privacy policy was technically correct.

> It almost feels as though economics discussion is made complicated on purpose

Mostly because finance as much as financiers desperately want it to be a science it isn’t. For the most part they’re guessing in the dark and presenting it like hard science, using baselines that are very generic and seeing if their associated metrics change all the while speaking in cryptic language.

Good example is Greenspan’s one number to rule them all.

In general I’ve noticed the same behavior in life too, whenever people start speaking in overly complex ways they’re usually (though not always) masking incompetence in the subject matter.

This article in general felt more like a forced down your throat PSA than anything else. Don’t worry it’s not foreign countries owning your future, it’s your own retirements at work for you. Your country working for you. There’s a name for that, propaganda.

The article didn’t really explain anything about debt, it just used government publications to recite to you how the government segregated the owners of US treasuries. Same as when an analyst will tell you what kind of institutions own AAPL. Hint: the same.
If you have one job to do, and it doesn't involve other computers, you don't need an OS. MS-DOS or equivalent program loader/file system API will work just fine. Windows, MacOS, and Linux work fine in a stand alone environment (unless an APT {advanced persistent threat, like the NSA} is after you)

On the other hand, if you're even thinking about touching the internet, or any other computer, you need to have every single task limited ahead of time to a specified set of resources, like mainframes do. Doing anything less is foolish, and I certainly wouldn't build a civilization on such folly.

Yes, in an era of mobile code, persistent internet, you need an operating system that doesn't give any default permissions to any executing task, ever. It must also safely and securely multiplex access to the hardware resources, all of the hardware resources, in all of the subsystems in the SoC, etc.

There are no Operating Systems, as of yet. I weep for the future.

"most genetic differences that do correlate with anything like race are basically cosmetic."

From the article:

>The firm's privacy policy, which was updated yesterday, now says: "If you are breaking Swiss law, ProtonMail can be legally compelled to log your IP address as part of a Swiss criminal investigation."

That makes it sound like they normally do not / did not log the IP, but then got orders from the police the log these particular IPs.

If you have high-traffic, high-speed roads where people are crossing by foot, your design has failed.

The two places where you encounter unwanted crossings in volume in the US are
1. Streets (for commerce, not travel) that were built too wide, either to accommodate too much vehicle traffic or to accommodate a despotic authority that forces wide streets(probably your local fire department or your state DOT); or
2. Stroads that do nothing well, at great expense. If it has a 45mph speed limit and stop lights, it's probably this.
This is not surprising to me. I will still continue to use ProtonMail. I never signed up because of the "no IP logging" thing. In fact, if I had seen it before I just plain wouldn't have believed it, and still used ProtonMail. But hindsight is 20/20

ProtonMail has been fraught with problems for a long time, and it's good that serious issues are being brought to light. Their marketing is very good and critics of them have struggled to communicate to users for a while.

The most important thing a serious privacy-minded service provider can do is be forthright and honest with users about the limitations of their privacy guarantees, particularly with respect to what hinges on math and what hinges on trust. ProtonMail has failed in this respect. It has always been the case, for example, that they could log these IPs, or that any incoming plaintext emails can be recorded before being encrypted at rest - and the fact that they're encrypted at rest is another thing we have to take on faith. Their proprietary components have always been a problem, and we also trust that they won't silently add key exfiltration to their webmail UI on the demands of a court. They don't explain any of this, they just pose themselves as experts on privacy and let vulnerable users stumble into law enforcement's hands because they care about their money more than their security.

Good privacy systems do not rely on trust or faith, they rely on math. Where some trust is required, in the case of a commercial service provider, it is their solemn duty to be honest with users and explain to them what promises they can and cannot make, and to make sure users understand which of these claims are backed up by math, which are backed up by law, and which are backed up with thoughts and prayers, so that these users can make informed decisions about how they use a service they're relying on for their personal liberty.

I'm pretty sure in US law authorities can stop you from doing that, that's why these services have warrant canaries which are legally sound.

"By paying £500 now to endorse Paul, you will receive £1000 if Paul is hired and passes probation.

If Paul is hired and fails probation, your payment of £500 will be donated to charity.

For such a stupid thing too. I'm surprised Switzerland provided a warrant for a climate activist.
It is probably worth reading the clarifications made by ProtonMail [1] and their Transparency Report [2]. As a company based in Switzerland, it was clear to they could be compelled to do so and they never hid that fact.

IMO a breach of trust would be actually logging IPs by default and before a legal request is made.

If that is the case, why did they remove this statement? It seems to me that if the statement remained true even though this guy got arrested, it would be true under the "by default" clause. By removing it, they indicate it was never true; or, I suppose, they discovered just how fun it is to get people arrested, and decided to change their policy on the fly!

But the timeline is unclear to me. If they notified you via e-mail, and then immediately turned on IP logging. So... you'd go and check your e-mail, learn about the third-party request, but by then it's too late as your IP address has already been logged?

The 3D form is the real surface of the homogenization of the
curve.

We begin with an algebraic curve; in this case, say y^2 = x^3 - x.
The equation defining this curve is degree 3 but inhomogeneous,
meaning that not all monomials have the same total degree.

In order to reveal hidden "structure at infinity" (essential for
defining and studying the addition law on elliptic curves), we
perform so-called homogenization. In our example, we take the
inhomogeneous equation y^2 = x^3 - x and introduce a third variable
z to balance out the degrees on all monomials leading to the
equation y^2 z = x^3 - x z^2; now each of the three monomials has
total degree 3. This equation can be thought of as defining a
homogeneous surface in real 3D space, or from a more advanced
perspective, a homogeneous curve in projective space.

The original curve lies at the slice z=1 of this homogeneous
surface, and the entire surface can be built by emitting all
possible lines from the origin connecting to points on that sliced
curve.

Geometrically, if you wiggle the model around you can see this
structure: the plane z=1 slicing through the surface, cutting out the
curve, and lines through the points of the curve tracing out the entire
surface.

Algebraically, if you have a point (a,b,c) on the surface xz=y^2,
that is, satisfying ac=b^2, the entire parametrized line (ra,rb,rc)
satisfies rarb=(rc)^2, and so lies on the surface.
German here. At the moment, our government is bought out by the automotive industry which has achieved market saturation... the only markets they can grow is China and India.

That changing entirely depends on who wins the election in a month. If it will be Red-Green (Social Democrat + Greens) or Red-Red-Green (Socialists + Social Democrat + Greens), it might very well be that we will cutting down the influence of the automotive lobbyists... but if we end up with the free-market liberals (FDP, yellow) or, worse, the endemically corrupt Conservatives (CDU/CSU, black) we will keep on bowing to the whims of everyone who can't grow in the Western markets.

For everyone in Germany: please vote. This election is crucial.
