The real thing about the asians is:

There is a whole narrative that people are equal and have same capabilities.

Anyone can be a sport start if trains enough or a super scientist if study enough.

Then looking at statistics it is not true.

The same people with cognitive dissonance claim that because social factors, etc. Usually whites get a better treatment thus because and only because of that they have better representation in certain areas (only certain).

Then a lot of money is poured in programs to fix that. Because the narrative says all people are equal.

The opposing narrative says that IQ is genetic and it reflects on career that needs IQ so it really does not matter it will always reflect that.

The two narratives are fighting: social-economics vs genetics and if its a fair fight.

Came the asians.

Poor, non-english skills, living in bad neighborhoods.

They start getting advanced classes more than white. They advance more.

Then looking at statistics we can see Asians have higher IQ and looking on Advanced programs we have Asian as the largest, Whites as second and others as third.

Bang one narrative suffers a blow. Then they start changing rules. "Asians are White".
"We need to make it more equal" meaning removing asians from programs.

While these boths narrative fight we as whole suffer.

As I want the best players on Soccer I want the best players on Medical field or Math.

I really don't care if the whole Math department is Asian. I care about the results to the society.
> Or do we have to resort to "Black kids aren't ever smart enough?" Is that your argument?

This is a nasty lie that you just made up.
Usually, people don't tell UPS they have a drugs package, they tell the police directly and the police go and work with UPS. That's the issue with many of these analogies, people don't talk to the car dealership/UPS/landlord/hotel staff/etc, they talk to the authorities because that's the normal thing to do.
> Incredibly, it doesn't matter how educated the developer, they still seem to have to learn this lesson themselves, over and over, until it sinks in...

That's probably because many devs were socially isolated when growing up. (How do you think they got so much time spent tinkering with computers?)

Also, it is generally hard to imagine yourself in other's shoes. Example: imagine trying to use your UI but with a 60-year old vision instead of that of a 20-yo. Example: imagine having no formal address or no citizenship (stateless).

Interestingly people have described me as a digital nomad but I don't consider myself one at all. I ticked most of the boxes in this list of "average" traits, except for the one about 69 days -- I usually stay much longer, couple years maybe, hence why I don't think of myself that way. It can be fun to see the world, but it comes with its own challenges, too.
Four Economic Lessons on Vaccine Development and Distribution: A Case Study
No need for autonomous winged cameras, even

A network of tiny cameras paired with wifi, can identify everyone all the time. You also carry your phone on you and now with Apple’s latest improvements it won’t really be “off” when you turn it off.

They can hear through windows, lip read, and anything else. All that’s missing is a database that will cross compile all this information to reconstruct everywhere youwere and everything you’ve been doing, and your health characteristics at every moment. From there it’s pretty trivial AI to make sure to do precrime and nip “undesirable” gatherings or movements in the bud before they have a chance to take root.

Ironically, the one place you MAY have privacy would be end to end encryptednetworks online.

Genuine curious how you got into this lifestyle.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Chess is strange in that it is kind of fun to spot a tactic and crush, but also kind of mentally exhausting when a position in complex and it's so easy for either side to blunder. Sometimes I play then after awhile, I have to check myself and ask: am I actually enjoying this? Is this a good use of my time?
1 BTC = 1 BTC, how much USD each one is worth varies due to its inherent lack of fungibility.

1 BTC is better thought of as a booster pack of 100,000,000 NFTs.
This could be managers who deem themselves programmers or software architects. (Often they would use their authority to promote their ideas and effectively shut everyone else up.)
I like that. Could be neat if uploaded could specify key frames to jump to to start the preview.
> The benefit of talented engineers comes from the fact that they avoid costly pitfalls - not that they pump out more code per hour worked.

Not just avoid pitfalls, being able to put together a good architecture is a huge factor as well. The effect is cumulative. If you have a good design to begin with, everything becomes easier with less risk of bugs. The result is that implementing new, or changing existing functionality takes less time.

The 10x developer doesn't write 10x as much code, (s)he will probably write less code than the 1x developer.
It's not realistic instantly. Even Madoff's victims got a recovery eventually. From OP we know at least 25% of tether's reserves is in a bank in cash. If it was seized I could see the market heading to 50-75c or so, there will be lots of people that want to gamble on an eventual recovery.

I'm very skeptical that FTX has 10B USDT on the balance sheet. OP here says Sam has billions of tether, which makes sense but is not enough to blow them up, and is likely in Alameda being as he says it's for trading, not in FTX.

(Of course it's possible that FTX has 10B in USDT deposits, but that belongs to their customers who would be very sad if it nuked but doesn't directly hurt FTX.)

Futures insurance fund may be an issue, yes, especially in scenarios where it shifts very rapidly. If you have math on a plausible scenario and total losses across the major markets I'd be interested in seeing it. But you'd have to be looking at several billion in losses or at over 1B directly attributable to FTX for them to go bust - they've raised over a billion and make 350M/year per recent Forbes article, so that's a lot of capital.
The payout is the complicit exchanges wash trading Bitcoin, SOL, etc., with freely printed and unbacked tethers, in order to drive the price up. The more crypto goes up, the more people FOMO in and trade, the more money the exchanges make.
If I click a link to a video that has the person suggesting to subscribe, follow, smash, etc, I just stop watching. If you feel the need to prompt for followers, you're content is more than likely not good enough for me to want to follow it naturally.
I have the same problem. But the more I tackle it in reasonable ways, the better it gets. Here's some pointers that work for me:

- enough sleep, rather get in bed early than late as the quality of the sleep depends on natural rhythms

- engage with people that are affected by my work - this is important for motivation and to keep track of what actually matters

- operationalize everything, say out loud what to do next

- being honest when I have bad focus, talk about it

- trust my instinct and do the right thing, if I don't I quickly lose focus and motivation, if opinions don't align learn why

Discover and Hire Best Commercial Roofing Services in North York
For residential and commercial roofing services in North York, there are hundreds of contractors but it is your responsibility to choose the actual best from them. The proper installation and maintenance are a lot more important for commercial settings than residential places because a poor and leaking roof’s downtime can cost business managers millions.

They certainly don't scan and save images of your identifying documents when you go into the branch. They may store your DL and SSN number. This is a lot less than you volunteering up your identifying documents to a public webserver.
Crossed 50, not retired, nor planning to any soon. The good thing about this industry (tech, if that is not obvious) is that it [still] pays well, and there are no set rules about what happens when you are x years old. Don't let the occasional story about bias make you think it applies to you. Every time I take a break between jobs, I am hopeful that there is someone out there who is willing to pay for my skills and I will be able to get back to work if I want to, provided I keep myself up to date.

My cat has turned off my computer on me - does that count?
I never said it did. I am saying that if it's hard to patch irrelevant issues it is also hard to patch relevant issues. The ideal would be it is easy to patch all issues so you can always just upgrade to a safe version.
I'm really hoping so. I tried that Sam Adams and found it a bit meh, it was also sufficient. Weirdly, ALDI has a NA German beer that's actually pretty all right, and like $7/sixpack.

I'm really looking forward to NA Guinness.

There definitely are good boutique NA beers out there, they are just SO pricey.

Which I agree would be racially segregated. But the original comment stated that the determiner was "not enough blacks" not "intentionally setting school boundaries to avoid blacks".
I'm struggling with this thought because to me it feels that I want to become full self sustainable.

Which contradicts hiring someone to do my tasks.

My retirement plan (I wanna be independent by 50) is to have time to do all my chores proper and in my time.

Would you say you got used to that lifestyle? Do you earn so much that it doesn't matter from an expenses standpoint?

I'd I would hire someone that would be 5k and more per year which I can't save. 15 y * 5k 75k
Byteconnect.us
My personal experience in using QT apps is that they load / render perceptibly slower than the native UIs and QT applications are slightly bulkier in size (storage space and memory). This is kind of understandable as QT emulates the UI through its own library (unlike, say, Lazarus IDE / Delphi GUI library that directly use the native UI library). However, size doesn't matter much today, and the very minor rendering delay is hardly discernable and doesn't reduce its usability in any manner. QT is a mature framework and especially suited for C++ developers. It's one of the popular ways open source developers choose to make their software available on multiple platforms.

As for "OS built around QT" you can try it our yourself - KDE Plasma ( https://kde.org/ ) is a GUI for Linux / xBSD that is built with QT, and on the mobile scene, Sailfish OS ( https://sailfishos.org/ ) also chose QT for its OS UI and recommends it for app development on its platform.

All said, often nothing outperforms the native libraries in terms of usability. (Performance, in terms of resource use, is a different matter as there are GUI libraries that are actually lighter on the system than the native ones, and even QT).
For many people it definitely is not - some folks get into software engineering because they have the mistaken (albeit not as mistaken as if they were going into another career like medicine!) belief they can avoid people and just deal with machines.
Let's outsource social care/s
Exactly, things have a purpose and more often than not, that purpose is to be used up, possibly repaired and then used again, until it finally wears out or breaks completely.

I tend to baby new things until the feeling of novelty wear off, then I just use them. I don't abuse them, but I stop trying to avoid normal wear and tear. Repairing things is also something I find relaxing and interesting.

As a consequence, I tend to stick to things that are durable and can be repaired, designs and materials that have stood the test of time, and I keep them for as long as I can.

A well-worn patina on an obviously beloved object is hard to fake.
These all look pretty ugly to me. Is nobody designing some nice ones for Hugo?

I think those are important jobs, and completely disagree with you. I'm trying to understand if those are jobs you weren't considering, or if we view each the responsibilities of those jobs very differently.

I'd originally responded to the article's flamebait with flamebait, but forget that; let's focus on the actual science:

> Now, this doesn't mean that you shouldn't get vaccinated if you were infected - in fact, the strongest immunity that is seen from people who were infected and then vaccinated. This appears to generate a very strong, very effective response.

How does this relate to "Original Antigenic Sin", aka the Hoskins effect?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_antigenic_sin

It must be that this effect isn't that strong, or else the subsequent vaccination wouldn't do anything? Or is it precisely because the vaccine doesn't have any of the other markers, that the immune system is now forced to learn a new, second response?
Yes but from the frame that the amount of diff problems you experience matters. Not your 10 years of experience solving 1 set of problems

They definitely aren't. They're using Chivo which is a centralized custodial wallet solution. Transfers are just updates to their MySQL store - as they should be. Chivo only uses Strike's private LN nodes nobody else is allowed to peer with when facilitating an international transfer -- between two of Maller's own accounts.

Chivo is not crypto. And that's what most folks there are being forced to use by the local dictator. It's centralized, trusted, censorable and entirely antithetical to the Satoshi white paper.
I recommend having a look at WebStorm as well. I’ve been using it or IDEA Ultimate (which also includes it) for last 5 years at least if not more.

While it has some bugs and rough edges its capabilities are still quite impressive.
I've been nomadic since 2015 (settling in the UK now though) - happy to answer any questions you have
Given the amount of money and effort poured in, an awful lot of people seem to have thought that they had a unicorn on their hands. It definitely appears to have failed at that, given the way they keep shifting their business model.

They were clear in the early days that they were following the model of "build a huge audience, then monetize in some way we'll figure out later". They succeeded at the former, and they're still floundering at the latter.

I'd accept the OP's premise that it failed at making a ton of money. As for whether it failed at its user's goals ... that's harder to say.
I'm fine with two, maybe three story buildings.

Higher screws up light.

It's important to practice like you play the game (we should debate the way we want the regulations to read, if we stand a chance of ever being represented).
No more so than "The mall is a beautiful, shiny, clean building where you go to hang out with your friends".
There is also applejack, which is apple brandy, but named differently because it used to be made differently. Instead of using a still, they'd leave it out in the winter. Ice would form on the top, which would get tossed away, and the brandy would be what's left at the bottom. Now, even if it's called applejack, they use stills for healthcode reasons.
Unlike nomads, tourists aren't earning income while on vacation, so there's no income tax to be paid. Nomads earn income but don't pay local income tax (hopefully they at least pay it in the their "home" jurisdiction).

Tourists tend to stay in highly taxed hotels or short-term rentals. Nomads might do that, but they also couch surf, camp, live in vans, etc.

Tourists dine out more than a typical resident, which in most places is taxed higher than groceries.

And simply based on length of stay, a nomad is more likely to consume expensive services like medical care.

With all that said, there should be a way for people to work wherever they want (and pay appropriate taxes while doing so).
Wait, you’re accusing Thiel of money laundering?
Oh, are German mosquitoes different or is it really just placebo?

Thinking about it:

If I leave the window open with the light on in summer there will be hundreds of mosquitoes in the room (together with ~50% other critters). Even if no one was inside.

Window open without light: a dozen mosquitoes at max (as counted by suddenly switching the light on).

Whatever is known about other species is not correct about our breed.

How to fix Error response from daemon
I used to be pretty bad about this, and I honestly didn't realize I was doing it until someone pointed it out.

I hate when people do it to me, so no idea why I was doing it right back.
We do get the benefits of paying NI - SSP, state pension etc. (even without paying NI if the salary level is chosen appropriately)

In the case of contractors are dividends really payment from capital (accounting wise yet, reality no because most take an unrealistic salary)

The dividend tax essentially compensates for the loss of Employees NI (but not employers)

I'd like to see income tax and NI merged, so unearned income (e.g. buy to let rent) and earned income are treated the same way.

No-one's making freelancing illegal, it's possible to freelance outside IR35, you just need to make sure you're not behaving like an employee (and yes that depends on the clients you work for too)
That belongs to their customers who will lose a lot if tether fails. Unclear why it would cause FTX directly to lose money - main mechanism is if insurance fund isn't enough to cover liquidations if the price shifts very rapidly but that still doesn't seem enough to blow through their significant capital.
Right... And software developers write the code and cowardly hide while sales people actually sell it. Do you just dislike spiders? Any insect could be a pest if you look at it in a certain light.
The latter is a huge boon to lots of people, but the fact is that modern lifestyles are mobile and nobody can take for granted the idea of having family and friends nearby enough to do that. Fair enough about the t-shirt, though.
Speaking as someone who wants to use these in space, on a budget, I enthusiastically support the adoption of MRAM by any new field of tech experiencing a boom of funding like machine learning currently has, it can only bode well for fundamental hardware like MRAM modules to be in higher demand as it will lead to increased production and lower costs, with hopefully improved capabilities but I’d be happy with just lower costs.
> First of all, having robust publicly available aggregate data

> I don't think such a system of accounts would need to be publically accessible.

Which one is it? Public or not?

> I don't think "the left" is saying that income taxes have failed. I think "the left" is saying that income taxes are no longer as progressive as they once were for a number of reasons

Yes, which I alluded to. Now tell me, when will this end? As I said, we have an inflationary currency, so of course todays taxes will not be enough in the future. Which is why this system is a joke to me. Why are you surprised the taxes are not enough anymore?

> This is simply not true. Income taxes were introduced by most developed countries in the first half of the 20th century as (1) a check on inequality; (2) a reasonable way to expand the tax receipts of the federal government from something like 10% of national income to the 40+% of national income that countries require in order to invest in anything but purely regalian state functions. It has little to do with inflation, and tax brackets are constantly adjusted for inflation in every country that has implemented one. On the other hand, income taxes are progressive so by design they hit the wealthy harder (and always have done).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_history_of_income_tax_in...

The first income tax applied to those making more than $600/yr, which means the poor didn't pay. Today, the poor still pays, as that limit was never updated to the new "wealthy" level. Also because the left wanted a larger taxable base, for more $$$$.

Please avoid "other countries" as we're talking about the US and I have no clue or care about other countries tax codes or history.

> That point aside, progressive taxes are meant to tax people according to their ability to pay. A flat tax can never accomplish that.

How so? If you tax everybody at the same low rate, say 15%, then every can pay? Whatever the minimum bracket is in the current system, use that. This will result in less tax revenue, which is why the left hates this system.

Another way to put all of this, if you want Obamacare, lets open up those medical records to the public so we can decide if:

a) we can afford you being on it

b) if your conditions are correctable
Don't forget to write for future you. They'd appreciate some consideration as well. Mostly along the lines of "wtf does this module do?"
Пять идей внедрить 3D модели в свой бизнес
Компании очень стараются привлечь клиентов, будь то с помощью цифрового маркетинга, предложения качественных услуг или предоставления конкурентоспособных цен; борьба за получение бизнеса огромна. 3D моделирование - это новый способ адаптации компаний для расширения бизнеса. Если вы работаете в бизнесе, который продает концепции или идеи, простые слова не могут соблазнить клиентов, но 3D-дизайн определенно привлечет.
I cashed out and stopped working around 37.

It has been a very difficult transition for me. I have had 3 or 4 years of borderline depression despite having more money than god :-)

The loss of structure, status, social interaction, goals hits hard.

The problem is, I don’t want a job and probably lack the motivation to do another business.

I need to build hobbies and friends outside of a work context, I know.

My advice to people is to be careful what you wish for!
