> It's completely inaccurate to use the hammer and sickle for socialism

Most current and formerly socialist states were run by Communist parties -- Communist parties running socialist states with the eventual goal of achieving communism.

Your comment seems to indicate a vast misunderstanding of the historical and modern use of the terms socialism and communism.
The link I posted was news (red), the link you posted was opinion (orange).
If I had to bet I would say we're >50% chance we get somewhere around $1T in Dem spending which will be close to 100% paid for with new taxes.

BUT it doesn't look like there will be much in the way of hitting emitters. In fact it looks like we'll be giving the incumbents money to 'green' which I don't trust at all.

Albeit with some penalties attached for accountability which is kind of a potential tax.

I find the utility industry weird in that it's so regulated yet they are allowed to make profits sanctioned by govt agencies. Just nationalize it or regionalize it.
Subsidies, closed grid electric sources, could be anything!

(Not claiming it's feasible, but playing devils advocate because of course I'm hopeful)
Company: we offer very competitive salaries

Candidate: then why are you hiding the salary on your job description?
It was far worse with phone chargers before the EU mandated USB, nearly every manufacturer had several different designs across their product lineup, none of which were compatible with each other.

In theory. Then the government gives free carbon credits to industries that are supposed to reduce their emissions.
I pay for youtube premium to avoid ads. Paying in a micro form over a lump sum form wouldnt matter for me as long as its reasonable in price and easy.

Really micro payments add-value is that most things on the internet are just not worth a visa charge or the slow fraud detection calcs on the back end. Like access to someones tweets. Its basically opening up a new economy and suitable for the metaverse in general.

Like imagine you have augmented reality glasses and are walking through a city outside a restaurant, and a digital food menu third party gives you access for 5 cents btc or eth.

Bit of a tangent here but the use case is fascinating.
This is what I was just thinking. It asks for permission just like microphone or location.

Both of which you could argue 'allow for surveillance'
>I don't blame ISPs for the content of the internet. I do blame Facebook for what happens on their platform though, because unlike a telephone carrier or ISP, Facebook's entire purpose is to get me to interact with content.

Then why blame Facebook? Almost all the content on Facebook is user-generated. And don't think ISPs don't bank on getting you interact with content as though they're perfectly neutral platforms.

>If you got food that made you sick, do you blame the delivery service or the restaurant?

If it's a restaurant where the average joe can be a chef, then I blame particular person who cooked my meal. Not the restaurant (who only provided the facilities and menu) or the delivery service.

>If the business is ads, data, and eyeballs, you should be responsible for what is on it.

Only to the extent it's own ads are false. Beyond that, their is no duty for to police content in accordance with the desires of others. Information does not imply obligation.
Is anyone surprised? Apple is one of the most vengeful and anti-competition companies ever and their goal is to lock consumers into their ecosystem and rip them off, and god help any company that tries to get in the way.

They are a bully and can act this way because Epic to them is meaningless. Theres only a handful of companies who can actually threaten Apple with their same medicine at this point, and unfortunately this means consumers suffer.
The edit is the correct response.

Technology is awesome, but it's fallen into the hands of a bunch of god damn authoritarians. Trust absolutely no one. Paranoid should be your default behavior towards any files you have a device that accesses the Internet. There's 10,000 tentacles seeking that data.
For now. Once SafetyNet start to require hardware attestation you won't be able to bypass it with Magisk.
Trying this out right now with a keyboard and laptop and I'm immediately a fan! I'm pleasantly surprised that Shift works across keyboards.

I really dislike keyboard key layouts, that is the physical staggered location of the keys always feels cramped and inconvenient when our fingers naturally want to splay out. I also am pretty comfortable reaching across the keyboard, or typing one handed, even though I like to stick to the home row. Using two keyboards I notice how much more natural it is to reach across and use the 'wrong' hand for certain keys. But mostly my experience is just what the author said: The relief was almost instant. This feels like the way I'm supposed to have been typing all along.
>>the distinction between data used for personalization with data used for advertising

Personalization of what, exactly, if not ads? What's the proper distinction, in your view?
absolutely — my few sentences is just a rough summary of a small part of Thiel's thinking and ideology

summing his life as a Silicon Valley bad guy is a gross oversimplification — his actions and work is the product of decades of his study and thought, and has evolved in a number of ways over time if you follow his writings and interviews

it's clear that he holds the ideas he's arrived at with conviction, and has been in the process of enacting them through financial or political or intellectual means

Bitcoin does not only do transactions. It has a smart contract language which allows more and more types of smart contracts all the time. (Yes, Bitcoin is not static as many people think).

The old system is not at all efficient for transactions. Vendors hate credit cards for a reason. Visa alone made 20 Billion Dollars in revenue last year for a reason.

Bitcoin can scale infinitely via the Lightning Network.
That's why I love the GDPR.
Are you saying a company devoted to free speech would refuse to hire such people?
> If there are data changes happening that aren't through your application, then you're doing it wrong.

This is super-unrealistic. State mutation legitimately happens through many channels. The trick is signaling to the application layer that state has changed and either the app needs to reload it or update it.

In the case of GP, I would either build in a web callback that can be used by outside processes, or put a message on a queue like SQS that can be consumed by the application. This isn't a phoenix thing so much as an enterprise app design thing.
At my latitude (northern part of the US), the changing clock doesn't affect that. It only affects whether they'll be traveling in the dark in the morning or evening. And, during the depths of winter, they'll be traveling in the dark both ways in any case.
With the key added piece that you're trying to disincentivize carbon emissions in the process. I'm much more worried about the risks of the climate crisis than I am whether a few extra bureaucrats are hired.
We did the typical recommendation from adoption groups now days is Drontal combined with AdvantageMulti. Drontal to kill the worms and AdvantageMulti to prevent reinfection during and after the killing. Lately I have heard of groups switching bovine grade dewormers, especially for dogs from Mexican tracks.
To be honest, the biggest problem I see is that with massive corporate projects, fixing them after original company lost interest will be too difficult and expensive.

This is a lie. My Tesla is nuclear powered. Nuclear provides baseload power which can't be easily spun or or down, so overnight power is almost entirely nuclear and carbon free.

That is not the government debt to GDP ratio - it's about 45%.

I meant the old Avalon hill game indeed.
One thing that stood out to me is Xi's "Genuine Growth" vs "Fictional Growth". I wonder how this impacts the recent shutdown of WeChat and Alibaba and the splitting of those large software companies.
>What are you really asking for here? That Tesla empower its local service centers to do their own engineering work on a 400V electrical system ...

Yes. This is what certifications are for.

> and decide for themselves how to disassemble and reassemble the battery pack in a safe way just to save a handful[1] of battery replacements?

No. See above.

The Tesla fleet is aging every day. This type of repair is going to become much more common and the lack of recourse is going to start to decimate the used car value. If Telsa's long game is to sell trips and not cars it might not be a terrible plan.

Heck this may be the better approach compared with tolerating only “one directional” racism or being vague about what is it isn’t racism. Let people hash it out, let them learn and change over time, but if they are good at their job let them do it.

It’s already illegal to discriminate but should we really demand that everyone like each other too?

Keep work out of politics not just politics out of work.
Unless you go and get yourself indicted for a crime, what you do outside the workplace should be none of your employer's business. Even if your biggest hobby is shitposting on Twitter and getting other people butthurt because somebody was mean to them on the internet.
Do the rich do most of the polluting by buying gas though? I am middle class and work from home. I pollute by having a lot of things delivered. Consumption tax shifts the burden to the person delivering things to me, who is probably poorer than I am.

Isn't this the standard argument against consumption taxes?
Just so people are aware, Prometheus comes up every now and then among people on twitter following the climate tech space, and most think that their claims are bogus and completely unbelievable.

Like they recently claimed that they can capture CO2 from the air with 36$, which is like 20-30 times lower than what current best tech can offer, and also lower than what people believe is generally possible.

See some discussion (while snarky, both people know this space well):

I don't follow, why can't one bribe a government? This actually sounds a lot like that.
Their system is designed to easily start and stop to take advantage of wholesale wind and solar electricity rates, which are more like $0.02/kWh during certain parts of the day and times of the year. They sacrifice uptime for even cheaper electricity. If their capital costs and fixed opex are low enough this is a good strategy.

Here's an article about this strategy form the CEO:

From which alternate reality, where you were able to observe how a Facebook "fork" governed in a non-dictatorial fashion has turned out, did you learn this "arguable" information?
There are, indeed, forty-seven states that aren't California, New York, or Washington, but California's economy alone is bigger than the economies of the 25 smallest states (plus DC) combined.
Yeah maybe that's what rulers have actually spent their time on. Ie very little energy is left over for actual territory expansion attempts. Most of the time you're putting out fires.

I don't know anything about Thiel, but I remember seeing a talk of his where he basically described that:

1) all companies are on a spectrum between being a complete monopoly and having intense competition

2) their goal is always to be as far to the monopoly side as possible

3) and regardless of where they are on the spectrum, they have to do everything in their power to convince everyone that they are on the other end

(Slightly complicated by the fact that you can hold a monopoly in one market, but have lots of competition in a closely related market. On the one hand you have competition, on the other hand it may just be a facade to help sell your case for #3)

So I don't know the extent of why "leftists hate him", but IMO this is the best logical argument for why late stage capitalism is as unsustainable as leftists say it is.
Not like they're doing anything useful with it.

"You bought a toilet? Would you like another 4 toilets?"

This kind of exchange happens quite often everywhere.

Is it possible that there isn't an well written response to this by people who really knows what they're talking about?

EDIT: I mean: is it really only a failure to understand that if a group 100 people are vaccinated only, say, 10 people will be infected and if a group of 100 people are unvaccinated there will be, say, 70 people infected but those people who are infected in both groups carry a similar viral load?

Is this all there is to this and it's all a big incomprehension ?
You can live on that just fine in many rural areas, where a lot of welding jobs might be found.
Borland was awesome, with Turbo Pascal, Borland Pascal, Borland C++ and later Delphi they ran circles around their competitors, Microsoft included. It is incredible how they have disappeared from the scene completely.
This can be advantage or disadvantage depending on who is looking. Either way you add more uncertanty by having photo on your CV.
Yes, because whimsical potato, I am true, fearless believer and desciple, hater of evidence, prophet of assumption, protector of anonymous tubers.

Not because google is in the business of data and advertising or has the ability to cleverly manipulate language to their advantage or would ever consider being evil. I'm quite confident google wouldn't use such data in ways that could be connected to advertising. All your google data are belong to privacy.
Yes, ad-blockers get access to All The Things (except in Chrom(e/ium), where they've intentionally been neutered so Google can keep serving you ads), so you should treat them as any other piece of software, and get one you trust. The current gold standard is uBlock Origin, which is open source[1], highly performant, and whose author (gorhill) has a stellar reputation in the community.

> Or the swastika (whether hindu or Nazi)?

TIL the word is actually from Hindi - I was all ready to object to your giving them the same name (if only I'd known what the Hindu one was called, assuming it was different) - I thought they were entirely unrelated symbols and ideas that just happened to have a similar representation.

Seems obvious in retrospect, knowing स्वस्थ ('svast'/'swast' meaning healthy) though I suppose being British/born (decades) post-war my association for 'swastika' are just not anything to do with well-being at all.
I strongly suspect that to be the case. It was frustrating to put in the work picking up after our dog's bowel movements and spraying the area with a bleach solution only for other people to not pick up enough after their dogs.
Remnote 1.4 Redesign: community call
> First, it's very strange that an antiparasitic like ivermectin has become known among mainstream laypersons.

I don’t find it any more strange that that Remdesivir or mRNA vaccines or even “Coronavirus” is known among the general population. COVID-19 had a huge effect on people and anything related to its treatment or prevention(regardless of the evidence) will have a lot of people know about it.

To me it seems philosophical and unavoidable based on the tech, for permissionless blockchains.

Consider what happens when you lose your bank or credit card. Do you lose your money? What happens if someone spends using a stolen card?

With wallets, you lose the key, you lose the money. That is really bad UX. You can create a recovery method, splitting the key up among people you "trust" but then actually recovering it is far more difficult than calling your bank and waiting for some mail. What happens if enough of those trusted people become unreachable?

There are of course custodial wallets, but then you end up with a centralized system where you can be blocked from using your wallet.
I use uBlock Origin, which is a "Recommended" Firefox extension, which means that updates are vetted by Mozilla prior to release.
Depends what you are trying to accomplish.

If you are reaching for Django Channels in your Django project then yes I would investigate Phoenix, Phoenix.Channels, Phoenix.Presence, and Phoenix.LiveView.
> Unless they plan to release a billion of these, sweep them up, and then have interns/grad students probe each one to extract the collected data.

After reading the article and watching the video, I think that's what they are aiming for. The coil can couple data and power through near-field interaction, so they'll release a large number, hope to recover a sample of them, and extract the data through field or lab instruments. I could see this being useful for recording environmental data and forensic tracing, but they look closer to RFID tags than a computing platform.
It’s pretty quiet back here
The M1 Air seems to be a well liked machine.
I'm sure Japan has problems I don't have a clue about, but keeping a train station open for just one student until she graduates? That's fucking metal. That kind of concern for an individual's well-being on the part of public officials just wouldn't fly in most of the US.
Marketing is not advertising.
1. strangely these days I'm a lot more relieved to see subscriptions over one-time payments because those projects tend to have the funding to update their software.

What is generally known as ethics acts as a safeguard against random individuals running rampant and inflicting tremendous damage on society for personal gain.

In a broad context, Thiel acts like someone who has no such safeguards. The future he's pushing the world towards is the caricatural dystopia from Back To The Future (which was originally meant to lampoon Trump-like characters). Fortunately, he will probably fail.

If you don't see this at all, it's probably time to ask yourself just how similar to Thiel you actually are.
Their competitors want to use regulation to harm Tesla, not the other way around. Their competitors are the ones who are unfairly making money by stealing from the public.
Agreed, it is never simple! What was most interesting to me was the non-intuitiveness of being able to throw a rock into orbit (I know tumang[1] prejudice), with the right conditions the NASA paper suggests some could escape the Moon's gravity completely!

Bribe is something that government prosecutes for paying. So agreeing on a fine imposed by them is not a bribe. Even if it can get you out of lot of trouble.
Isn't that just the new name for G Suite? What I am describing is a very simple workflow like the following:

1. Log in to gmail
2. Navigate to account settings
3. Select an "enhanced privacy" option
4. Enter a credit card number

The user now owns all of their own content - no sharing without the user's permission.
Imagine if Mozilla spent even one tenth the amount of effort on their own crappy product as they do hand-wringing about Chrome. We might have another viable web browser.
Growth happens through people's hard work building useful things; there's no reason that has to have a periodic boom/bust nature to it; it could just be a slow, steady upward trend. The fact that it does have oscillations in practice is mostly an artifact of collective psychology (and perhaps underpricing of debt).

To a controls engineer, oscillations are indicative of bad feedback tuning.

It is a bribe if it is going into some official's pocket. Making a settlement with a government agency is fully legal.
Hypocrisy is usually dishonest ("I'm going to tell you a lie in hopes that you believe it; my behavior shows that I don't actually believe the lie") or unfair ("I'm going to try to convince you to play by a more restrictive set of rules than I do so I can get an advantage over you (or just avoid having the drawbacks of those rules myself)", both of which are bad things.

Moreover, just because you're not capable of perfectly adhering to a set of principles doesn't mean that it's not worth trying. "Oh, I know that I'm not going to be able to uphold every single commitment I make, so I'm not going to worry about upholding any of them."

David MacIver on Life Skills for Programmers
I wish that manufacturer's had to announce supported software lifetime of a product, that you could compare and contrast on a general spec sheet, like energy efficiency.

I also wish that device manufacturers should offer a marginal or low-cost software update service on a yearly subscription fee to ensure the longest lifespan out of a device. Particularly in the case of Sonos, I would be happy to shell out a few bucks a year to keep my older speakers up to date, maybe give us access to Airplay 2 or other standards. How many iPhone camera tricks used to sell the latest model are just computational at this point?

I feel like adding a long tail support subscription would really help the economics for B2C device manufacturing while moving us away from the mentality of continuously junking our silicon.
