I double checked (in case you were right and I messed up).

EDIT: incorrect math here.

Look at the breakdown per day. 3.54 per 100k on 9/7. 3.54 * 328.2 gives 1161 cases for that day. Very much within the moving average (there was a sharp decline that day).

Even at the peak last January as tracked by the Atlantic, you can see that 12k hospitalizations per day didn't happen even on the most extreme jumps.

Total social spending in the US per capita is #2 in the world (behind France).

The US is a massive welfare agency with a small military on the side.
How is anybody supposed to be able to answer that question, then? It obviously depends on what other services are running on that server, and what your cracked account has access to.

Access the janitor's account on the facilities Jira, which is all that runs on an old Pentium II in the broom cupboard and you get one set of benefits; access the CFO's on the Big Money Server and you get something else entirely. How on Earth did you manage not to realise this by yourself?
> Extrapolating outside of study sample is either a scientific rookie mistake or just plain fraud.

No, extrapolating outside of study sample is the entire point of doing science. Of what use science would be if we could not do that? Imagine, “no, you can’t say that this vaccine is effective, at best you can say that it was effective in the sample of subjects being included in that study, but you can’t extrapolate that outside the sample, that would be a rookie mistake”. This is, of course, absurd. We do science precisely so that we can make useful predictions in day to day life, outside of studies.

> they conclude that genetics must be the decisive factor!

I observe a goalpost being shifted, from “genetic factors alone” to them being decisive. I do not accept that. Please, tell me, where they, or anyone else claims that genetic factors alone determine outcomes.

> they assume AFQT = IQ = g = genetics

I don’t think they do, and it is contradicted by what you wrote in this very comment, where you say they claim genetics is “decisive factor”. This clearly makes no sense under assumption of equality/identity of concepts — you wouldn’t say that A is a “decisive factor” in B, if A and B are the same thing.

> ideological stance, which Herrnstein have been defending for decades prior to the publication of the Bell Curve

Relationship between g and genetics is an empirical, not purely ideological issue. Hernstein has been saying that g is mostly determined by genes precisely because this is the current state of our scientific knowledge, and has been for decades.
I'm curious, what is the 3rd party in your scenario?

I can see ways to count > 3 (before this announcement), and obviously there are the two competitive parties so that's a way to count, but it's not obvious to me how you got to exactly 3.
> How do you vote without zooming?

I press the voting button. Most of the time I vote in the intended direction. I think. If I don't, well, there's no way to know.
Hmm, haven’t come across the language icon before: <http://www.languageicon.org/>. Unfortunately, it looks rather shabbily done and very abandoned. Serving a JPEG for the large image instead of a PNG (to get an alpha channel while still being easily copyable) or SVG (for best results except for most copy-and-paste purposes), speaking of 2013 in the present tense, no HTTPS, claiming “copyright and hassle free” but it’s actually using an extremely problematic barely-specified license (claiming “a CC license” with no link, and a whole bunch of terms so that it’s a poorly-modified CC-BY-SA-NC), claiming you can download “rar or zip” and it includes SVG and more but it’s actually ZIP only with an eclectic mixture of bizarre formats (not including SVG), colours (some obviously wrong) and sizes, the icon itself is not aligned to any sort of sane grid and has been hand-placed and angled… all up it’s an unhappy mess. That’s not the way to go about trying to make a universal language icon that you want adopted. Pity, because the idea is decent (though the original article is quite correct that labels are far better than icons anyway).
He went from a virtual unknown normal dude to the last six standing the Democratic Presidental primaries, outlasting senators including Kamala Harris. And he made UBI a household idea, a major factor to lobbying for cash relief during the pandemic.

He did get stomped in the mayoral run. I followed it closely and it felt as though the media had it out for him.
I think it touched a nerve because that line of thinking ("we're the oldest culture") is presumably highly propagandized amongst CCP China. 1800 years is the difference between "best" and "just another", which is a big deal in totalitarian narrative terms :)
The existing appliance model will continue to be maintained (until upstream EOL it - or when the support agreement ends).

In the meantime, to address the same requirements from customers who wants some control (K8s stack, VMs, networking and storage are theirs), managed K8s' on-prem distribution may be the answer, I'll be exploring EKS Anywhere see how it works and see if it's a viable option to replace the appliance model moving forward.
Ranked voting would make this less of an issue, but good luck getting current politicians to support it.

I know Andrew Yang is big on UBI, but I don't think he is super far left, as far as I know, his platform is give everyone UBI and let capitalism do it's thing.
For the richer version others have suggested "hot reloading", "live reloading", "live patching", etc. I think all of these are descriptive enough, and most importantly, don't overload a term that many people already understand to mean something different
Oh OK, sorry, I just got that from typing 'el sal' into the currency/country select. I have no idea how (if) it handles secondary country users of a currency if you see what I mean, given that currency conversion is only part of it - perhaps the 'main' feature is the international transfer, making it look like a local transfer/payment (by being one each end).

Your presumption of unity is doing a lot of work here. I, for one, would absolutely oppose going to war against China for the sake of Taiwan, instead preferring that that money go to humanitarian causes that would help Taiwanese suffering under a CCP regime. War, especially nuclear war, is abhorrent and I would not stand for it.

Because they are doing so within the law. I try and pay as little taxes as possible as well (within the framework and laws) but the truth of the matter is the more money you have the more tactics, tricks, and vehicles are available (backdoor roths, real-estate (huge), crypto tax harvesting, etc).

I want to grow my wealth, I don't understand why people are pro-taxes at all. I am not outraged by smart accounting, lawyers, and savvy business. I am aspiring to become rich myself.
Nice work Dom
> If Yang is successful (extremely unlikely) there will still be a two-party system, it will just be his party and whichever other one still remains

That would still be a massive improvement. Unfortunately, the more likely outcome with our current voting system is to split the vote of whichever party they're aligned more closely with, and cause the other party to win.

We desperately need either approval voting or Condorcet voting, so that people can express a meaningful preference for a third party.
Wargames are designed to be lost. It's not as useful to say "welp we stomped all over them" as it is to push the forces being tested further and further until they break, then fixing or compensating where it broke and pushing even further. Wargames aren't constrained by reality, and the game's opposing force may be more powerful than in reality. Just hearing that the US lost a wargame doesn't mean anything without knowing more details. Think of a wargame as the military's version of a pentest.
It’s Andrew Yang. It certainly won’t be a leftist party in any traditional sense of the phrase. I expect it to be pro-business, but also support “good government” ideas like streamlined welfare (e.g. all the bastardized forms of UBI that keep popping up.)
I registered as a Democrat to vote for Andrew in the CA primary. I find his view of the state of the USA is much more current and much less clouded by the twisted incentives that drive so many career politicians. He has positions on just about every topic and explains the rationale behind them.

It makes me wonder what the narrative against him would be. In the 2020 primaries and election, he wasn't taken seriously by either dems or reps, as if they felt that doing so would confer credibility. He was quashed in the debates in lieu of ratings, and sometimes did quite well.

I suppose the question ultimately will be whether his party pull more votes from Democrats or Republicans, rather than whether they'd win any major elections. As a younger entrant, he should be able to speak to younger voters and perhaps over time, grow a meaningful base. He did admirably in 2020 and I am confident he can build.
The people that need the test to determine proper course of treatment will get results days after it matters. It will be just like 2020.

Pretty much what's happening in Canada. The NDP (left) currently polls at about 20% which would usually go to Liberals (center-left). Liberals and Conservatives (right) are now tied at 35% because of this.

Unfortunately the current Liberal PM promised "election reform" last election but didn't follow through. Now he might lose his minority gov.

CPAs absolutely have their license on the line and are required to validate and sign off on the returns that they prepare. They are liable for claims against the validity of the return.

Tax attorneys are different; they don't validate returns, they handle legalities around tax lawsuits and IRS negotiations. I don't think a tax attorney would generally be involved with preparing a return, except maybe for reviewing ultra-wealthy clients for potential legal consequences.

I get capital gains from dividends and stock sales. How do you figure that that is not income? I literally do no work for that money, but am charged less in taxes for it than that on my salary. But it is new money adding to my wealth. How is taxing that at a lower rate anything but privileging those who are better off (I don't think of myself as rich, but others may dispute that).

I understand your point about inflation, but then you would have to count that in in interest earnings, and a lot of other places. The Federal Reserve essentially uses inflation as a club to force people to keep their money moving, thus simulating the economy. Why would we kill that club for capital gains?

Treating capital gains as regular income absolutely is a solution to even out the playing field. I would even take taxing them at more (even though it hits my pocket book). But an even playing field where business owners don't get to play around with their income to have it rated better than their employees sounds like a good start.
Good point. I forgot the labels are different. They are in tiny grey text, the same length and require you to actually look hard to noticed though.

Happened to me.

Doctors gaslight me when I had an allergic reaction to Macrogol, claiming it was an anxiety attack while I could visibly feel myself suffocating to death. Did anyone bother to add it to my EHR? No.

Did anyone even add the allergies after I used the online portal to send a message to PAMF? No. Still in pending.

I keep on trying but somehow I keep getting doctors who don’t care or shift me from specialist to specialist since I’m apparently a case nobody wants to take.

I’m so tired of hearing ‘it’s safe and effective’ sometimes.

Should I go and get a shot that has a good chance of a giving me a life threatening reaction that may be fatal? (Oh and before you mention epinephrine, that’s also contraindicated; I have no faith that if it happens again, I’ll even end up alive considering I was left to just kind of suffer while nearly dying in the hospital ER not just once, but TWICE in the last few years).

I give up. I admit defeat.
Having short titles where you can't cram a lot of information is a feature IMO, since it means that you generally have to actually open the link and see what it's actually talking about.

I suspect (without having any evidence) that the longest the titles are, the most likely you are to end up with people commenting without having even bothered to open the link.

Which, hypocritically, is what I just did, but admittedly this comment isn't about the article itself.

He wouldn’t be able to capture the GOP endorsing UBI and universal healthcare.
But because it was RCV, his loss didn’t spoil the election.
He appears popular with moderates and reactionaries to identity politics, but the share of supporters probably wouldn't be higher were he in the GOP, not to mention that his values / platform are staunchly Dem.
> I suppose the question ultimately will be whether his party pull more votes from Democrats or Republicans

I think it's pretty clear that he'd pull more Dems than Reps. That would be a very bad thing in 2024, so you'll probably see a lot of encouragement from Republicans and an lot of discouragement from Democrats.
I'm reading a book, Money from Nothing, and I'm curious if anyone can point out if this is a flaw in my understanding:

Taxes are not really a means of a federal government raising funds to pay for things, since they can after all print whatever they need, but instead a way to take money out of circulation to help control inflation.

So a thing like war bonds is never for actually financing a war effort, but help control inflation for all the printing that probably is going on.

So tax compliance and tax code is a monetary tool to control inflation/deflation, not a financing/fiscal tool to pay for stuff. To be clear, local/state government can't print their own money obviously, so taxes actually are raised to pay for things.
The technical problems being solved are certainly interesting.

But the snark that I have, is less directed at the clubhouse team, than it is against the cult-like users of clubhouse that I would run into or argue with, X number of months ago, that were clearly taking an app way too seriously.

If you live by the Hype, then you will die by it.

Maybe clubhouse will turn into something interesting eventually.

But it is clear, that all of those influencers and users, who were making out clubhouse to be some world changing app, that will revolutionize social dynamics, were wrong.

This is something that the MMT people have hit on that I actually agree with, to some extent—the federal government more or less spends what it feels justified in spending, regardless of tax receipts. Collecting fewer taxes means larger deficits, but nobody in government has cared about deficits for a while now so why bother ratcheting up tax enforcement? The way things run right now, a dollar removed through taxation might as well have been burned.

(Note that this is specifically about income taxes, not payroll taxes that fund entitlement programs)
No, that's not what it is.

Most successful migration in tech requires a time where both old and new system are running concurrently.

In terms of brain, this treat consciousness as software and brain/etc as hardware. whether said software can be modified to run on other hardware, or other hardware can be modified to run said software, is where the key's at.

The key to migration is to have a period when the same software is running on both platforms. As a single unit.

There is a seriously fundamental problem with modern humanity. It's not just about money/wealth, but in this example it's an easy example to talk about.

What exactly does one do with a billion dollars? Or 10 billion? Or 100 billion? If a global financial disaster strikes (no evil tax man, just some giant catastrophy), what does losing half of 100 billion dollars actually mean to someone?

Imagine for a moment that you could eat the finest food every day, without fail. Whatever you wanted would always be available. Would you be satisfied with stuffing yourself, or would you need to have 10 or 100 tables around you decorated with every possible other food you might want, but unfortunately do not have the space to consume?

If the poor people outside asked, "Can you please share?", would you say, "No, I earned all this! It is mine, and anyone who wants to take it from me is (choose your negative title)!"

Many of us here have played video games. In gaming, there are always people who are either really talented, really motivated/disciplined, or cheaters. They can far surpass the normal player in various measures. But for what gain? After the thrill of being best at one thing, or being richest wears off, what then? (Ok, yes, politics. But that's beside the point.)

I would rather be loved and appreciated by everyone around me than admired by throngs of poor people outside the walls of my castle. I suspect some of the people who chase and fight to hold riches have missed something important in early childhood and are doing the only thing they know to do to try to meet that need.
Politics isn't that simple. Not everyone in those countries feels the same way or is being paid by the same people. Even in HK where citizens regularly fill the streets to openly protest Chinese influence, the HK govt has many Chinese sympathizers who are trying to ensure the situation shakes out in China's favor.
No, it isn’t misleading at all. Narrowing a constraint is learning something new. It could very well have gone the other way. Or in a way completely unexpected.
The CDC numbers you linked show 12K cases per day. Click the graph next to the 12K number you linked...it's well over 10K per day (for each day) and the red line is the 7 day average. You can also take the total admissions in the last 365 days at 2.7M and divide it by 365...it's 7.5K/day. Your 1.7K/day number is not correct.

Please stop confusing the 7 day average with a weekly number.

Your 3.54/100K * 3282 (not 328.2) = 11610...

I think Yang is a little like Ross Perot. He tells the truth but no one wants to listen and those who think he's a threat ridicule him and bash him --that doesn't mean I agree with all his points, but on the whole, I think I agree with him more then others.

Who knows, if he runs as a third party candidate, I hope he does well. I'd probably give him my vote. The two incumbent parties trip over themselves to please entrenched interests and don't take the interest and plight of the people they represent seriously.

If people had taken Ross seriously we would not be in the economic mess we find ourselves with much of our manufacturing and know-how outsourced in return for some new financial products which only the wealthy benefit from. You go Andrew!
