I'm not a Brave dev, I'm not going to steer your ship for you. I'm coming here, outright to tell you that the amount of hand-waving that your dev team does is suspicious at best, and it's starting to become the laughingstock of the browser wars. Brave's rhetoric is remarkably similar to a plethora of other crypto scams taking over, which doesn't make BAT's sketchiness any more palatable. Your issue is deeper than optics, it runs through whatever management thought it would be sane to incorporate an ERC-20 wallet in my goddamn browser. If I have to explain the issue with wanting my programs to do one thing and one thing well, we probably have irreconcilable opinions.

This is not an issue on Firefox, Chrome, or even Safari god forbid. These browsers are the main contenders because they're simple, and just browsers. Trying to build an "everything machine" is what made Internet Explorer such an unbearable slog, which is why all of our modern browsers are defined more by their limitation than their capabilities.

Again though, these are not my problems to fix. Brave has already burned their bridge of trust by involving themselves in crypto (and pocketing a portion for themselves, worse yet), so I have nothing more to do here than kick back and watch your development slowly turn back into a Mozilla-type org again.

The 80s video game crash was partly caused by that.

But I suppose the effects vary. I’m afraid to buy from Amazon due to reading about the amount of counterfeit products in their store but it hasn’t dampen Amazon’s sales.

P.S. In certain markets like games, clone games can be a problem. It disincentivize innovation. Why work so hard tuning and balancing a game with unique mechanics when a clone with the exact same gameplay will just come in and take your sales by undercutting you - since they don’t have the level of expense you do. A walled garden can protect games from cheap knockoff clones.

Coinbase has an rsu policy where you are not granted some number of shares each year but rather some dollar amount. So if my offer letter says I get $50k worth of rsus each year, and then Coinbase’s stock increases 10x, i’m still just going to receive 50k
The difference between a large enough single monitor with tiling window manager vs. multiple monitors is just a question of layout. There is no real difference between those two.

Also, I can “switch” just by moving my eyeballs which takes fraction of time comparing to using a button or pressing alt-tab.

My whole point is you can work on a single task no matter how many monitors you have. And having more real estate makes it easier.

This is true. Some features, I have no use for, some are outside of standards and thus lead to the same issue as years ago with IE, and some fall under both.

Admittedly, me having no use for some doesn't mean they don't have value for other people. It's the standard extend and extinguishing that worries me.

And yes, a standard that only one company can hit may as well be extinguished.
Tax money funds nothing.

Read Stephanie Kelton's Deficit Myth for details.

Funding is provided by congressional appropriation. When congress says spend on something at this price, that is all that is required.

At that point the issue is whether the something is being used by the private sector. If it is then you have to stop the private sector using it somehow. Tax is one way of doing that, or you can just ban the private sector using that resource (nationalising healthcare for example).

Money isn't a thing, it is a unit of account. It grows and shrinks within the banking system as required to ensure all transactions that can be undertaken are undertaken.

This is surprising to me that the rust implementation manages to be about twice faster than the C++ implementation while requiring roughly half the code.

Thank you for starting this work, for this kind of benchmarks is so much more interesting than the usual microbenchmarks. I hope others will rush in to offer implementations in other languages as well as optimisations for the existing implementations. I know I would if I had time.

I've never understood the argument for corporate tax. If you are after the super rich, then tax the super rich with income tax. Taxing companies just mean you makes it harder to do business, and whatever that entails.

No? Should we prohibit them from investing in mutual funds since bonds are so much safer? Or maybe mutual funds are OK but individual stocks should be illegal? Or maybe just certain, whitelisted stocks above a certain market cap that the 'professionals' decide are too big to fail?

Or maybe we should let individuals decide the correct mix of yield and risk that suits their age and risk tolerance?

No? I think just about any dummy (myself included) with a RD LLC that put money into crypto Q3 of last year paid for centuries of RD fees in a few weeks. The whole point is that it's a casino with some rational guesstimates behind it. You take a chunk of your retirement that wouldn't sting too bad if you lose it and you invest it in something that is wildly speculative but that you think has a high upside. Either you go broke with a small chunk of your total nest egg, or you turn that small chunk into something many times the size of your "main" nest egg.

Taxing companies is what you need to do - since they would otherwise engage the people that you need for the public service you want to provide.

Having said that the corporate tax is the worst way of doing that. Far better just to tax companies for using certain types of employee so they don't use that type of employee that much.

Which then leaves some of those types of employees unemployed by the private sector. At which point the public sector can hire them instead.

All straightforward once you realise tax has nothing to do with money or funding and everything to do with releasing people from the private sector so they can be hired by the public sector.

apple should embrace the progressive fart app future already.

You are so correct.
rocket dollar ( or similar service ) creates a single member LLC with checkbook self-directed IRA fund access. They become your self directed IRA trustee. You then create a bank account in the name of the LLC, followed by an account with coinbase or similar under the taxID of your new LLC. You transfer money from your LLC bank account to coinbase LLC account (being careful to never comingle wallets with personal accounts) and do whatever you need with it. You can pull the crypto out of coinbase and hold it in a wallet if you want as well (as long as you bought that wallet with 401k funds)
A while back it occurred to me that one of the main benefits of microservices is that each team, and even each service, can have its own language/stack.

> More choice in products is always better than less.

Have you tried to buy any electronics from Amazon/Ebay recently? Same products listed tens of times from likely same distributors (or maybe actually many distributors fighting for scraps?). Tiny differences in naming for SEO purposes flood the first few pages of results.

3 listings are better than 1 (for competition / keeping price reasonable). 100 listings are not better than 3.

Similar thing happens on appstore, just slightly different methods. You can't even search for the exact name anymore, because the ad and the first result will be something completely different.

How pedantic do you want to be about it?

I'm sure people will tell you "No, that's not true FFI."
It's close enough, if you generalize REST to a sort of RPC where HTTP is the transport/protocol.

There are problems you run into when you use "true" FFI -- namely ABI/binary compatibility (you're beholden to compiler or OS behaviors) and the fact that non-native languages can't directly communicate with you.

Doing something over the network has a performance penalty, and there's marshalling costs involved.

But IMO, if you expose an IPC or socket-based API (rather than a C ABI) I'm not sure very many people could fault you.
You shouldn't be so quick to jump to assuming someone doesnt know what theyre talking about. Trustee is a technical term with meaning in this context. You should look into self-directed 'checkbook' IRAs.
I know this thing you want by the name “incremental” processing. GrailBio’s pipeline tech is incremental, as is Lyft’s Flyte I think.

Build systems such as Bazel are build on the same incremental DAG processing foundation.

I agree that it’s the most important feature, as it dramatically improves correctness and performance (when at scale).

IAM policy trouble is a good example of a bug that crashes a pipeline but has no influence on precomputed outputs of succeeded nodes.
This is a really good idea -- I have apps in the store that I haven't touched in 5 years that still get downloads but I have no idea if the app even works any more and I don't care to check

> You know nothing about teaching and education

That is incorrect.

> The reason why you group children with similar learning abilities together is so that they can progress together.

Yes, that's the thinking that justified tracking. Among the problems with segregated G&T programs, however, is that G&T-identified and non-G&T students are not, within each group, “of similar learning abilities”; Both have wide variation within groups, and individuals very often aren’t in the same relative position within their group in different specific subject areas.

As much as tracking would make (simple, binary) varying ability fit into the industrial assembly-line model of education, it doesn't work well with real people in the real world (it works very slightly better than the industrial assembly-line model without tracking, and when that was the norm, it was an improvement.)

But what works significantly better (though it takes more work) is to provide baseline curriculum with supplementation to individuals (in small groups of similar ability in the subject, where possible) based on ability. Which is what this proposes training all (initially) kindergarten teachers in, and hiring additional teachers in particular areas of need, in place of a high-stakes tracking exam for four-year olds. Its what has proven better than binary tracking in many places. (And it is, incidentally, what decided my family’s choice of schools for my son, who is now in kindergarten.)

It’s not the 1980s any more. Education has moved forward. Whether NYC will execute this well is, of course, up in the air. But that what it has identified is what has been widely used and proven better than binary tracking already, for the students that would be tracked into G&T, for the students that would not, for racial and socioeconomic class equity, and in basically every other conceivable manner is not up in the air.

This is the one position on taxes I cannot believe is uttered in good faith.

There are many things people say about taxes I can agree with. There are many things people say about taxes that I disagree with, but I can understand their reasoning. There are even things people say about taxes that I disagree with, and I even suspect their purported reasoning is actually just post-hoc justification.

And then there's that statement. And I cannot fathom any way in which it is possible to honestly believe that without being utterly delusional, to a degree that makes me concerned the person is possibly incapable of caring for themselves. I can only conclude these people are most likely being intentionally disingenuous.

At least flat Earthers aren't continually confronted with blatantly obvious contradictions in virtually every aspect of their daily life.

Having worked in US and Europe this take is pretty anecdotal and more a reflection of Bay Area certain company culture.

The US company I worked for encouraged vacation and offered almost the same amount as the European company I worked for (5 weeks).

Nobody was on Adderall in the US and the Europeans were putting in just as many late nights as the Americans.

I’d also argue that the Europeans often looked at the US politics as not “slightly left of center” but “fucking bonkers”.
CDC has instituted a policy where vaccinated people were instructed to test on symptoms, whereas unvaccinated people were instructed to test on contact with infected person. In a frontline healthcare setting, workers are constantly in contact with infected persons, thus the difference in testing regimens is maximized. Given that asymptomatic cases are a majority of the cases, such skewed data collection process will result in significant data taint. The faulty policy was active March-July 2021.

TLDR. Any study making 'vaccine effectiveness against infection' claims based on US data overlapping March-July 2021 is subject to potential data taint and perhaps should be retracted. I'd rather look elsewhere for reliable epidemiological data.

How so? I still have to report value of the account to the IRS by law, which is enforced by the trustee.

A Seawolf has the most advanced sonar in existence, a $100M device that is 24 feet in diameter.

https://twitter.com/Saturnax1/status/1250015875719147520/pho...

But to see something with sound, something has to emit sound. And a sub emitting is an exploit for any enemy.

Now, there are probably low probabilty of intercept wide spectrum techniques (like radar) and maybe short range optical lasers but a Seawolf is a rare bird even among subs. Whatever it is doing it wants to be as quiet as possible (the predecesors of Seawolfs would sail into Soviet territorial waters to tap their underwater cables).
