> the ability to do something wrong is a necessary condition of freedom.

Punishing those who do something socially distasteful that harms me but is not necessarily illegal is also a necessary condition of freedom.

So, how do I punish Facebook in any meaningful way?
I've been on both sides of this.

At large FAANG companies, I've seen candidates leave $100k+ on the table, as they simply accepted the first offer (on-hire stock awards and signing bonuses).

On the other hand, I've seen candidates spend weeks negotiating over some trivial point and spoil their relationship(s) before they even started the job.

Knowing the range for the role you're applying for (via Blind, or Levels.fyi, or similar) makes this process so much easier.

Assuming we count the $1,800 dollars of total stimulus last year as one years worth of UBI, that alone costs 5 times yearly (1.5 billion per day) what the Afghanistan war cost. Which is both much less money than what I would consider necessary for a useful UBI, and not even universal. Sure, we could have given out a $300 a year “UBI” instead of funding the war on terror (and that would have been a much more reasonable use of the money) but the scale of how much a true UBI would cost is preposterous. We are just not yet productive enough as a society to make it work, no amount of taxing the 1% could reasonably pay for a UBI.

We definitely can and should be doing more and taxing the wealthy more than we are, but even then some things are out of reach.

>U.S. Reps and Senators have an annual salary of around $180,000

Literally nothing for the stress and pressure they endure, I'm a designer who doesn't get out of bed before 10:30, at most works hard for 4 hours tops and earns $136,000 which I also think isn't much in 2021. Politicians deserve more but I also want them and their partners or children in solitary confinement for decades if a single one of them insider trades to earn more.

Pay politicians 3 million a year or even more I don't care it's a drop in the bucket compared to the millions they funnel through garbage charities, favors and programs just to skim cream off the top. Pay them an absolute fortune but the second they insider trade or try to skim cream solitary, lethal injection, firing squad I don't care. they're scum.

I don't think this in unreasonable and I'm happy to pay them an extremely competitive salary just for living within these restrictions and auditing their entire linage to make sure they are too.

At this point this is the only way I can envision honest government existing. Think I'm wrong? Google "Nancy Pelosi Husband stock trading" her husband is "earning" more than I'm suggesting just insider trading of her privileged information.

They said: If you're happy with the salary

You said: life is too short to forgo being able to own a home or raise kids

Why would you think someone would be happy with their salary if they wanted to own a home & have kids, if that salary didn't let them?

Implicit in the caveat if you're happy are all of those the goals predicated on having a salary at a specific level.

If the salary won't let you afford a home & kids, you're not going to be happy with it. So you don't take it.
The trump domain wasn't set-up for bulk marketing email and wasn't configured like the other trump marketing domains.

>The report notes that unlike other domains the Trump Organization used to send mass marketing emails, the domain at issue — mail1.trump-email.com — was configured in such a way that would have prevented it from effectively sending marketing or bulk emails. Or at least prevented most of the missives sent through the domain from ever making it past spam filters.

>Nor was the domain configured like other Trump Organization domains that demonstrably did send commercial email, Jones’ analysis found. Also, the mail1.trump-email.com domain was never once flagged as sending spam by any of the 57 different spam block lists published online at the time.

>“If large amounts of marketing emails were emanating from mail1.trump-email.com, it’s likely that some receivers of those emails would have marked them as spam,” Jones’ 2018 report reasons. “Spam is nothing new on the internet, and mass mailings create easily observed phenomena, such as a wide dispersion of backscatter queries from spam filters. No such evidence is found in the logs.”
Again, you can inspect or easily get the decryption keys traffic on devices you control such as your PC or your Web Browser. If you control the OS but not the applications you choose to run set up an explicit proxy and inspect there. If the app doesn't follow explicit system proxies add your transparent proxy key to the root store. If the app ignores that then congratulations, you're at "you could make a filter that only lets through inspectable connections and deploy it without much breakage" without getting rid of the benefits of Encryption to do so.

Encryption is not what makes the app communication opaque, inability to control the device does. The external network IS an adversary when it comes to your data. If you truly controlled your data at the start then you can specify where the external network begins. By default that is when it leaves your PC but it does not always have to be that point.

The domain became public after the public reporting. Show me where in the Ankara report that shows that the domain mail1.trump-email.com was public during the period of the DNS activity.

There's nothing in that list that argues against SARS-CoV-2—and its spike protein and furin cleavage site in particular—being produced by serial passage through any of a variety of cell lines expressing human ACE-2.

It does seem unlikely that the SARS-CoV-2 genome, or spike protein, or even just a small segment including the furin cleavage site, was synthesized. Although without knowing what protein folding modeling capabilities and synthesis capabilities the WIV had, who knows for sure?
> that there was some foul business going on here

The lab leak hypothesis isn't a hypothesis that foul business went on.
This is interesting, but I think it's lacking context regarding whether this is more or less than the number of fires that normal combustion engine cars are having, adjusted for the amount of those vehicles on the road. Gas cars can catch on fire too, although for different reasons of course, so I'm curious whether this is more than we'd expect of those.
Well put. Exactly what I was getting at.
One of my ancestors father was wealthy. They took long trips over the summer. One year, she came home and they had electricity. One year, they had a telephone. She saw one of the demonstrations of flight by the wright brothers. A global pandemic. No war is good, but I'd put the world wars as particularly bad. She saw people drive cars on the moon, on television!

~1905-1985 was a pretty good run.

Cell phones, the internet, mrna vaccines. There's probably tons of amazing stuff I'm overlooking. I don't think I would trade with Katherine. Although, I wish she was around for a few years longer so I could talk to her when I was closer to being an adult.

I don't think you could find a modern technology that would throw her for a loop. Maybe, but she's a cherry picked example.

Correct, he isn’t and technically more liberal than a lot of folks on the left, but then again the left is no longer liberal. He speaks truth to power without regard to political party/leaning and is therefore generally hated now by the left because he doesn’t follow the orthodoxy.
can you automate your fate with gpt-3? that is where the money lives.

> all journalists are factcheckers

I don't think so. Most journalists these days start with a agenda and cherry pick facts to make their stories. It's so obvious it's laughable.

I think the point is that the narrative that one choose to tell is based on which statistics one chooses to look at.

I think looking at each statistics has value when viewed together, and I would add a third one to the mix. Race is somewhat a predictor for being incarcerated. Gender slightly stronger. Wealth is slightly stronger than that with a 20x time higher rate for the bottom 10% compared to the top 10%.

For countries with high rate of refugees from specific regions on the planet, religion also becomes a predictor for incarceration.
Surely this sort of stuff won’t happen on an Apple Silicon machine.

It really does look like the competition has a lot of catching up to do. But probably after the M1X / M2 Macbook announcements, the competitors will be set back another 2 years behind Apple again.

> while conveniently leaving out that his own organization was involved in highly risky coronavirus research?

Don't get me wrong, but in online discussions, all too often telling the whole truth makes people ignore your message. That's probably also why dishonest politicians can get populist votes from many people. Whenever you include the material to dig your grave with, people just take that by the horns and stop looking at the rest of your argument even if that disclosure is the reason why you are a qualified expert that should be weighing into the discussion on a given topic.

I don't know the details about this Daszak guy, I only know what you wrote and the comments above yours. Perhaps this does not apply in this situation; that's not for me to say. But I can see why they might not have dug their own grave while trying to communicate a message with honest intentions. It is extremely easy to have subtly wrong wording or just bad luck and get people to ignore everything you said before or after "my lab worked on coronaviruses".

Yea because Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort coordinated through KGB asset Konstantin Kilimnik, as documented in the Republican-led Senate intelligence report, and not directly with the Russian government.

The proposal that this article is about weakens your argument significantly.

They were going to experiment with multiple backbones, experimenting with multiple variations of spikes, looking specifically to try novel types of furin cleavage sites.

There was no public reporting of what happened with this research. We don't know what they have because WIV database was taken offline. They claimed to have searched it, but what they claimed was the closest match in the database was not, in fact, as close as a sequence they had published. Given that demonstrable lie, there is no way to verify any claim about what sequences were or were not known and possibly involved in this research.

Furthermore the person who submitted the proposal was also the person who broke ethical standards to preemptively shut down all discussion of a human release.

That isn't to take away from the possibility of a natural spillover. The facts that you say about that are facts. But accidental release is also possible. And the lack of transparency from those who are most likely to have made the mistake heightens suspicions, it does not lessen them.
Le meme never gets old
You referring to it as a strawman is the only strawman in this argument now, if we're being technical about the definition of strawman.

People migrate from countries like Australia, or sit in their armchairs in Sweden and expect the US be on par with X or Y social infrastructure and rage perpetually at the citizens (like the GP, which prompted my response) when they find this isn't the case.

Why is it reasonable for the US to align social policy to every European or South Pacific developed nation when the scale of the US is not even remotely comparable? What is the philosophy 101 term for that level of delusion?

And why is OP justified in spitting venom at the citizens? Get real.
The bar for proving libel is so incredibly high in the United States, it's generally easier for a man to jump to the moon than for a public figure to file and win a libel case.

Did you just question the "correct" media's authority!?
Prescient how? This article is about a rejected proposal. Not only did the research not happen, we have no reason to believe this type of research caused the pandemic.
Only if the fact checkers acted maliciously. Just like how when people say false things, they generally aren't held accountable for it. [1] Why are you so eager to hold fact checkers to a higher legal standard than the people they are responding to?

It would truly be a bizarre universe if saying things that are damaging to other people were permitted, but fact-checking those statements were not. Fortunately, we don't live in such a universe.

Insanely wrongheaded. Reads like a paid post from the Gates Foundation.
Right, the old "Americans don't want to improve anything" bit. Enjoy your vesting options.
When a Tesla car's battery catches on fire, what Tesla says firefighters need to do is to let it burn and cool it off with water so it doesn't get too hot and explode.

The amount of water needed to keep the battery cool and from exploding is several orders of magnitude more than what is needed for a typical car fire, and also several orders of magnitude more than a fire engine can carry. That means if a Tesla battery catches fire and there isn't a hydrant or sufficient water source that fire fighters can tap into, the car can burn out of control and explode.
This whole narrative was revealed ages ago by internet reporters, particularly by Dr. Chris Martenson of peakprosperity.com.

What's not being reported even in this Intercept article is that Fauci and the Eco Health Alliance are heavily involved with each other. One week before Daszak et al released their ridiculous "lab leak is a conspiracy theory" Lancet article, as revealed in Fauci's emails (which supposedly revealed nothing), Fauci had a conference call with Daszak and other Eco Health folks, after discussing the fact that the lab leak hypothesis was gaining traction.

They have a big conference call, the Lancet article is posted a week later.

Here's all the details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNxoVFZwMYw

I know "Bro, just watch this youtube video" is lame-ass evidence in general, but Dr. Martenson has been incredibly data-driven and level-headed throughout the pandemic, is a pro-masker, and his views have evolved over time with new data.
Lots to like about the article, but it seems to hinge on the idea that the company will tell you the salary range. A lot of the article keys off off where the offer falls in the range.

That works at many tech companies where the range is well known for a specific position.

But, there are thousands of tech jobs at non tech companies too. The ranges aren't well known. Titles may mean completely different things at different companies,etc.

So the advice to get good intel is key. Company specific intel, like what titles exist, how they compare to each other, ranges (if possible), etc.

I suppose it's also possible to ask, after an offer is made, where it is in the range, though that may not get a clear answer either.

There's more evidence for this type or research happening where the pandemic arose than there is for natural origin.
I still think the next breakthrough will be when we figure out how to simplify/optimize inner portions of feedforward networks. I think it is extremely likely from working with deep nets in the past that a lot of the inner structure ends up being superfluous. The best way to test this is take a well trained network and then remove a neuron, then re-train until the prior accuracy is achieved, and repeat this process until the previous accuracy cannot be achieved. At this point you have a network that is theoretically as simple as it can be without an accuracy loss. This won't work for the large nets they are talking about in the article since training takes days and uses an inordinate amount of compute resources. So the real breakthrough will be when we come up with some mathematical technique (in my mind something almost analogous to AVL rotations) that yields a bunch of structural simplifications you can apply to inner structures within these nets, turning a network with thousands of weights into a network with hundreds of weights.
The category isn't public "officials or people running for office." If you carefully read the preceding comments, you'll see that "public persons" is the phrase that was used. I think perhaps you read the "public" part and misunderstood what the phrase means in legal writing. In legal writing, it's a bit nebulous as mentioned, but includes well-known people commenting on matters, people who become unintentionally well-known for their thoughts, in addition to the obvious stuff like politicians.

Host of a nationwide broadcast? 100% a public person and not even close. It's a dumb lawsuit and a good lawyer would have told Stossel as much.
Waking the machine is a use case but having things unexpectedly wake the machine is a failure of that use case.

Here is a little tip that has given me an advantage in the "Why don't you tell me what you expect or what got paid at your last job" conversation.

I say that every study I have read shows that basing a job offer on past salary is one of the most important ways employers -- unwittingly perhaps-- perpetuate unequal pay for women and other protected groups. Ask the employer or recruiter: Do you want your process to perpetuate unequal pay?

They can't say yes to that. And it makes them feel bad for asking. If you don't do something like this they will often make you feel unreasonable for not sharing your salary history.
To be clear, I don’t think there’s a good ethical framework for determining who has rightful claim to a given plot of land. I agree that it’s convenient for me that the least arbitrary “cutoff” is the relatively stabilization of borders (which itself is pretty nebulous). I’m not wed to it, but it certainly seems more defensible than “whoever was there when history arrived”. The whole enterprise seems intractable. Or as another commenter put it:

But what else could have happened in 2020 that could have caused such a dramatic spike?

Maybe a worldwide global pandemic that caused many business to shutdown or go remote and a spike in domestic violence because a good chunk of the population is stuck in abusive/dysfunctional families?
Reinventing known things and claiming that they’re novel is sort of his shtick.
