> no you cannot invest in stocks/coins/anything if you consistently fall behind with your utilities payments or spend all your salary on booze on first weekend after payday.

Well, this is another trap!

You CAN.

One thing that i failed for YEARS was follow this "advice", in special with relation with crypto. I get in and out of it, because I get worried about it, like this say.

What I finally "get" was that if you "invest, even little, and not quit!" you WILL get some of it later. And WILL get MUCH MORE than NOT DO IT!

Daaaaaammmm. I lost so much just because I was unable to do it consistently.

---

P.D: How I get this? My family caught the idea of saving all extra coins of low value we get in daily buys. Eventually, after a while, that money was enough for a decent buy of things (iPhones, Computers,...)

Small coins. No value money, things you will lose after the day and not see it again.

But because we "invest" and "save it" for long enough, it become sizable (and yes, I'm not rich and was in dire economic situations).

---

So? go invest, even if pennies.
Will people do a better job of saving money and resisting temptation if we never teach them why that's important?
It has been incredibly interesting how the antivax movement has suddenly become a right wing thing after years of festering on the left (including not so long ago with our own VP). I mean... I used to live in Marin county, one of the bluest in the country and one of the least vaccinated. Then COVID comes around and suddenly everyone's pro-COVID-vax, but anti every other vax. Robert Kennedy JR was also instrumental in the 'normal' anti-vax movement, but now it's suddenly a partisan and 'conservative' thing.

(Actually, I don't think it's 'conservative' at all. Living in Portland now, I know a lot of old hippie liberals that are anti-covid-vax, and I know few conservatives here, but it's certainly more mixed in that crowd than the hippies).
The funny thing here is that it makes running a startup/working at a startup relatively pointless. On average it’s probably about equal difficulty to convince the right person at a FAANG to invest in a pitch as it is to raise a series A. Except your more or less guaranteed to make ~1-2 million over the course of 4 years and you have a good option to make more via promotion.

You Lone the opportunity to be your own boss and the possibility of extreme upside. But it sounds like VCs are taking that away as well.

I wonder if any VCs have added options into the deal to increase founder equity later if company performance dramatically outperforms expectations.
Maybe scala Try type could be a good thing to look at.

I enjoyed your page and the technical accomplishment, but the logic of your morality is pretty twisted. It's not ok to deceive people like that. And remember, these people are competing against other people, so there are people hurt just as much as helped. It's ok to compete, but this is cheating, in my opinion.
The biggest challenge will be you.

Are you 100% ready and willing to stop doing things and trust that someone else can get them done well enough even if their method isn’t 100% identical to how you would’ve approached the task?

If not, you’ll either go through a few assistants quickly and change your tune or you’ll always wonder why it’s so hard to find a good assistant.
Wright himself has claimed many times that Script itself is turing complete-- in fact that is the thesis of the almost entirely plagiarized “A Proof of Turing Completeness in Bitcoin Script”, an analysis of which is linked in my long comment here. Certainly the article linked here appears to try to cause the reader to believe the same thing.

> The concept of a Turing machine has been well defined. It would be sufficient to show that Bitcoin uses a dual-stack architecture that acts as a dual counter machine. Such systems have already been demonstrated as being Turing complete.

Or in another article he wrote:

> We demonstrate that the Bitcoin Script language allows not only for primitive recursion, but in the deployment of an Ackerman function and hence the ability to simply recurse in Bitcoin script, we show that the script system is Turing complete.

Or, just a week ago, Wright wrote (https://archive.is/qztvz):

> Bitcoin is a Turing-complete system even in script

(But we shouldn't be too surprised, since we know that Craig failed Theory of Computation-- https://twitter.com/Zectro1/status/1124185673110622208 which was arguably the only real computer science course he took in school, the rest being IT trade classes)

The truthful claim he could have made instead is that script implements a universal circuit of fixed size which you can use to verify steps in transcripts of programs in TC languages... but while true, that's not novel or interesting and and been pointed out by other Bitcoiners long before Craig discovered Bitcoin.

I can confirm that I don't know anything about Truth_machine here and I was initially confused by why an account name used by a well known dishonest BSV promoter to evade bans was being truthful for a change.

I don't post anywhere about Bitcoin related stuff except under accounts clearly identified as me. The claim that I'm operating other accounts here isn't just unfounded, it's malicious defamation intended to protect and enable an organized campaign of fraud. Unfortunately, Wright's absurd vexatious litigation against parties that expose his fraud has caused some people to make their comments in the public interest anonymously, to reduce the risk that they are hit with a $6 billion dollar SLAPP suit (as I have been).

But since you're interested in coincidences, Luke Rohenaz, perhaps you'd like to discuss with us the fact that you're here promoting BSV while being funded by Calvin Ayre a former (?) drug smuggler and indicted money launderer who spent ten years on the DHS most wanted list, and spent 20 years under a trading and director/officer ban due to operating pump&dump schemes, and whom has invested at least $300 million dollars (by his own reporting) into promoting BSV and Wright's fraud and is financing Wright's litigation in exchange for being promised a share of Bitcoin holdings which wright doesn't have access to (and never had access to).
I don't think broccoli would matter unless it were already the cheapest vegetable with no substitute good and common to the cuisine of specific person.

But if you're trying to generalize the idea that increasing minimum wage would lead to an inflation death spiral because labor is too high a percentage of cost of staple goods... I'm not sure I buy it, though agriculture is definitely one of the industries most impacted by low cost labor (I don't know what they pay the folks crossing the border at 3 AM to pick lettuce in Yuma in 100+ degree heat, but it's not a lot). But my general sense is that the labor to harvest isn't most of the component cost of lettuce, there's transport, refrigeration, irrigation, pesticides, etc., so you can probably assume doubling minimum wage doesn't do anything like double the price of lettuce. If you believe that the labor to pick lettuce is 50% of the cost of lettuce, your worst case for a 2x wage increase is a 1.5x gain in the price of lettuce, which means the low end of the economy is getting net purchasing power growth, but more realistically, I can't imagine that picking lettuce is 50% of the cost, meaning low-end labor wage increases can't have near that much impact on prices.

My assumption is that the issue with higher labor costs is foreign competition at lower cost with lower standards causing a competitive issue and net less business more than it's an "wages increasing the price and causing an inflation issue." (IE the general "US must have 3rd world wages because otherwise it can't compete with the 3rd world" idea.)

But in my view so long as the increase in minimum wage creates an increase in overall purchasing power greater than any follow-on cost of inflation, it's probably net positive, and should be more efficient because the more normalized wages and living conditions are circa median income, the greater benefit to economies of scale and services and such for that group. Having too many poor and too many distinct socioeconomic bands is bad for the market because it means that the next model-T type product will be more likely to fail. So dealing with the issue caused by competing with lower-wage producers outside our boarders should be addressed separately. (For example, subsidizing US labor's wages by how deficient the living standards of competing labor is, or some other, smarter, plan, someone smarter than me comes up with.)
The original scenario as imagined by Nozick implies the probability is much higher than 90%, something close to 1. And you can't "outsmart" the machine. This actually makes a big difference when trying to "solve" the paradox, as this author attempts to do.

It's time we admit a lot of 'science' was done with the express purpose of contradicting a republican president, and then admit that this is the reason why many conservatives do not trust science and scientists and experts anymore. Until we do that, this country will not be able to come together.
This video seems a bit lacking in information. Very cool to see the actual innards of the diode, but it feels like a quick picture and 2 sentence description could cover the same amount of information.

Money in the bank is at risk due to inflation and pathetic interest.

Individual investments in stock are at risk through stock price volatility, competition, regulation/taxes, to name a few.

Broad investments diversified across asset class, and currency, appropriately hedged, as an overall plan, are quite resilient to risk.

The original question is misleading, because it's asked from the perspective of somebody privileged wrt not having their opinions, beliefs, or topics of interest suppressed.

(Which, of course, is often a temporary state of affairs - the means of censorship are the same regardless of their target, so the more pervasive they are, the more chances that they'll be used against people who did not anticipate themselves being targets.)

I don't see how different syntax can have any impact on the understandability of lifetime. Imagine every usage of `'` will be replaced with a `lifetime` keyword, `<'a>` becomes `<lifetime a>`, `&'a b` becomes `&lifetime a b`, I'd argue it would make the situation even worse.

Lifetime in Rust is actually an explicit generic type system over lifetime is a new concept (you would not see it anywhere else) so it will indeed feel alien as you can't map it to other construct that you have already learned in other language.

So to learn it you must treat it as such: a new concept, learn it by remember how you first learned recursive (yes, Rust's lifetime is not harder than recursive), pointers, ... Don't expect it to be easy or familiar because you already know how to code in other languages. I see many people struggle with learning Rust just because of this weird expectation that new language should be *very* similar and they do not have to spend much effort to understand.
Interesting point, that 17% of the workforce (30% by compensation) are people with "manager" titles.

This is in line with Peter Turchin's "cliodynamics" (https://peterturchin.com/cliodynamics/), the phase of "elite overproduction".

I've been in the professional workforce as an aerospace engineer and a computer programmer since 1984. The need for non-management career paths was overwhelmingly obvious in the mid-80s. I have zero hope that corporations will see some light and decide to create a career path that doesn't include managing others.

Interesting. They are working with Armbian

[1] https://www.armbian.com/

from the start to be their officially supported OS, instead of some vendored out of date crap.

Armbian is the choice for anything ARM which is not Raspberry.

Also rather powerful stuff in such a small form factor for such a low price.

I'm tempted. Just for fun.

Also [2] http://www.linux-meson.com for cross-checking how far the hardware support goes, Armbian or not.
You seem to have missed my point. I was talking about all organisations, not necessarily the one that I am in and can control.

Even if there's little need for such tenets in my excellent organisation, that doesn't preclude their utility in less-than-excellent organisations, which are certainly more numerous.
I know someone who's in college and still has to have this on her phone (it's not conditional on her paying for something, as far as I know she pays for her car). It's very odd. She's also not allowed to drive on the highway either (if she won't learn now, then when will she?).

Outcome of this is whenever we see her someone else drives, so maybe it's just a long con to save her money on gas.
Simon stay in school, you'll be 30 one day, then 40, you're so close, just finish it, this is a really stupid decision.

Does using a JS backend like Node or whatever help ease this pain?

I've yet to dabble in that realm much, but I've always hated working with dates in JS and C# because of how each language handles dates differently. It's not the most annoying thing by any means, but it does slow me down on the occasion.
> You can't tell me that they're too difficult to distinguish from legitimate content. Any human being or half-decent algorithm would be able to catch these with no trouble at all (heck, I could write a couple of regular expressions that would do the trick and have 0 false positives),

Of course I can tell you that! :)

Abuse is an adversarial and dynamic problem. A simple regex will never solve the problem for more than a very short time period. Sometimes such short term fixes are called for, since they'll buy you the time for something more principled. But they cannot be the solution forever, because the abusers will adapt. The more different variants you end up blocking, the more likely it is that they somehow interact and produce serious FPs.

And then you've got a PR mess on your hands with people complaining about how "Jeff Bezos is being censored by YouTube". Abuse is pretty thankless that way: nobody ever sees your successes, only your failures, and it's all a job of balancing the two.

What you actually want for fighting bulk spam (rather than other forms of abuse) is robust signals that are broadly useful rather than specific to one campaign.

As for your actual question, I haven't actually been seeing this in my recommendations (but then again, I don't have anything related to cryptocurrency or Elon Musk in my recommendations). Maybe this isn't actually as widespread a problem as you're suggesting? To put it bluntly, perhaps cryptocurrency is an area where the legit content is basically indistinguishable from scams.
Pretty much any region has plenty of history that Americans should reflect on. E.g. whenever the American media and/or pundits talk about the "civil war", it's inevitably framed in comparison to the US Civil War. Except that was a very atypical "civil war", as those things go - fought by well-established governments using mostly conventional armies. And while it's still the most devastating war ever fought on US soil, its casualty numbers are minuscule by the world standards of what civil strife looks like.

To find out more about what an actual civil war looks like, one might explore history of civil wars in e.g. Russia, China, or even Finland.
> Technically this breaks with the "no side-effects" rule, but I think it's an acceptable compromise since the effect would never have any chance of coming back around and impacting your code's behavior later on. It's fully external.

Something to consider: if people come to rely on the logging in production (not just for debugging), and then you later do performance optimizations like memoization which skip calling a pure function because you know what answer it will give, then it'll break people's production code.

You can discourage it in the docs of course, but Hyrum's Law (plus my own experience with seeing how the equivalent Debug.log has been used in Elm) makes it safe to assume it'll happen!
Denatured is primarily ethanol and is what most people use, to my knowledge. People have also been known to use 190 proof grain alcohol from the liquor store, which is taxed differently (it costs a lot more) in the US because it can be consumed by humans safely.

Rubbing alcohol is isopropyl alcohol, which I've never heard of anybody using. I'm not claiming that it won't work, but I've not tried it or heard of it.

I wouldn't tell my aunt that it's idiotic to blindly believe spike protein sheds from the vaccinated and harms people, or that VAERS has recorded thousands of vaccine-caused deaths, because she read it on FB. But I do think it's idiotic to believe that, and every once in a while I'm going to say so.

It's not just some innocent difficulty with finding the signal in the noise. It's sentimental, ideological delusion, and it's rotten to the core. And deep down, I believe many of them do know better, even if they stopped caring years ago.

I won't pointlessly anger them by saying so to their faces, but I also won't patronize them by pretending otherwise.

I believe that using margin loans properly requires a lot of knowledge and some strokes of luck. I've seen people get burned and some people do well with margin.

It's one of those things to me where it makes sense to use margin loans, but only if I have a high enough balance to support it. But if I have a high enough balance to survive a margin call, then I probably wouldn't need the margin in the first place, except if I were trying to invest the margin on top of what I already have, which I wouldn't be doing in most cases.

You mean that helping some cold-blooded killers is okay, but after their percentage reaches some tipping point, it becomes too much of a headache? I can't say that I agree with that moral.

One of the central ideas of Freenet (and some other projects) is that you don't know what exactly you transfer. Moreover, if you could discern “good content” from “bad content” in some general or specific fashion, you would instantly be forced to do so according to numerous laws.

If we followed that path, all bittorrent clients would get outlawed long ago (we all know certain businesses have always wanted that).
the legality matters a great deal because if you steal the IP obviously even cumbersome technology becomes viable.
