No, I'm saying covid in the US has caused about 20 years worth of auto accidents, and with vaccinations and natural immunity and the pandemic running its course, it's not likely to reach the scale of the ongoing automobile disaster, which has been over 20k/yr for about 100 years and total might have killed about 3 million people and will continue to kill tens of thousands of people very year for many years to come.

If covid does somehow reach that scale, then automobile deaths is still a perfectly valid comparison to use.

And so my point stands. People aren't monsters, evil bigots, anti science or grandma killers for choosing to drive places, even though statistically that will result in increased deaths and increased load on the hospital system. They would also not be any of those things if they protested government bans on driving.

I'm repeating myself though. If you simply can't accept that anybody could reasonably have a different opinion about things than you without being anti-science or evil or stupid or bigoted, I don't think you'll be able to understand or accept my point.

Blackrock and Vanguard are just intermediaries, they do not actually own the shares in their ETFs, they manage the assets on behalf of clients.
There's virtually no amount of net worth that would save you from a plane crash or an auto accident either - I would say 1.2M is enough as FU money in 99% of cases. Whether it's enough for you depends on your risk tolerance.
Why not {} That should be pretty easily parsable, and seems less ambiguous than [] (also Julia at least is prior art)
They used to call it "infinity with an undefined sign", then "NaR" for "Not a Real" but in the latest papers I've seen they just call it NaN. But that's just a name, it's the projective infinity as you say. I agree that the IEEE NaN is an abomination.

Eiffel is the first language I know of to use [] for generics. It's consistent with the interpretation of [] as "subscripting"; the generic is a family parameterized by types, and the subscript selects one element of the family.

1) What are the rules for non-US sites that allow access to US based IP addresses? Does that count/is that enforceable?

2) I'd find it fairly amusing if sites with UGC would "shut off" access to US based IP addresses at 4.999m unique visitors (or whatever the limit ends up being) to stay in the "small service" exception window.
I've taken a massive liking to JSON5[1] recently for configs, but I've never really seen anyone else using it. Sucks, because I think it's really easy to read and write.

There's an easy alternative: just use the MAX and MIN values. That's what you would do with integers anyway, in case of initial values. As for limits, if you need to express limits in a datatype for expressing a small subset of rational numbers, you've got the wrong tool for the job.
He's saying that it's not a case of "oh, silly uncivilised African warlords", but rather, "look at another underhanded neo-liberal operation that destabilised a region".
I think the comments here miss a couple of factors.

First, and primarily, Tim Sweeny states: "If this tax scheme had been place, I’d have been forced to liquidate nearly my entire ownership." This is absolutely false.

The proposed law (legislative text available here: https://www.finance.senate.gov/chairmans-news/wyden-unveils-...) would not apply the tax scheme to Epic Games. At all.

See Section 491, which applies the new tax scheme to "tradable covered assets", and Section 497 which defines "Tradable Covered Assets". Those are defined assets traded on established securities markets or readily available on secondary markets. Epic Games is a privately held company, and not traded on established securities markets or readily available on secondary markets.

Additionally, the law allows each person to designate up to $1B of normally "tradable covered assets" as "nontradable covered assets". Which means if this law did apply to Tim Sweeny, it wouldn't have impacted his holdings by as much as he implies, as $1B of his assets is removed from his "assets" at the start of the calculation. This significantly reduces the amount of shares he would have to liquidate to cover his take burden.

Another problem with taxing unrealized capital gains is that if the gov’t wants to collect more tax revenue, they could print money, inflate the dollar value of assets, then tax the gains.

PAKEs are secure over insecure channels. Also I'm pretty sure for RFC2289 the server stores a password equivalent. If you neither care about creating an encrypted session nor being secure over an insecure channel, then you should use SCRAM. With SCRAM, the server stores a password hash equivalent. Meaning an attacker needs to crack the password before they can login as them.

> You’re standing up for companies that are doing far more sinister things going after “whales” than anything Facebook has ever done.

There are several things wrong with that statement.

1. If these companies engaged in truly destructive business practices (and it could be proven), then Apple has a duty to remove those apps. Every developer has to pay them $99/year to be registered, so that money should be funding the removal of these supposedly exploitative and 'sinister' apps.

2. You cannot prove that the majority of these businesses are all big.

2a. Even if you could prove that, it's common knowledge that Apple is the largest company in the world, which renders that entire argument moot.

3. How do you delineate between indie developers and 'whales'?

3a. When you do differentiate the two, how is it ethical for the largest company in the world to ask for more of their profits?

4. Apple isn't standing up for the poor indie developer either, which is why it's perfectly reasonable to ask them to do better. There is not a company on this planet with more liquid cash than Apple, so there's nothing wrong with asking them to just improve their treatment of developers when consensus is that they're one of the most exploitative and destructive companies in the field of consumer electronics.
I'm glad to hear you have some way to do your simple listings with standard tools, but I would say your comment is not really a fair rebut especially with RTFM snark. Your concept remains "quite limited", as I said. These limitations may not bother you, but they may well bother others - reasonably.

At a minimum, the "file type" codes are limited to inode types and one permission bit (exec). Output layout is limited to the `ls -l` format unless you parse & re-emit that in which case I would argue you are replacing `ls` just with `ls -l` instead of readdir/stat as a driver.

`lc` lets you define several kinds of new categories (besides classics like dot files and directories, for example ALL_CAPS or even file(1)/magic-based coding) and sort (or filter) by those in a multi-level sense in the unfolded (non-l) layout, not just the "-1" layout. As mentioned these categories are useful not only for colorization. This results in dense, but co-located big blocks of similar file types in the table. For example, I could group ELF executables differently than "simply perm-bit/access(3)" scripts. This is often helpful since the ELFs may not run across systems or can be rebuilt from sources. Similarly, I can group "dot directories" before "dot files" before "directories" before "non-directories-non-dots".

Besides file type limitations, there are also many other features in `lc` that would require increasingly sophisticated (and not generally available) shell tools and combinations. Just off the top of my head, the auto-glob abbreviation feature, other value-dependent formatting like file data sparseness, "3 char wide times" like "37w" for 37 weeks old, tweak files, etc. I doubt, were you to provide all these things that you would be able to persuade anyone that you were not "replacing ls" with something a notch or two more sophisticated. Could this replacement all be done with like find/stat/file/awk? Maybe, but I'd bet that would be pretty slow, especially on larger directories.

As to the value of said replacement, well, you may not care about any of these features and that is fine. I know smart people that mostly `ls -l|grep foo` - hardly using the features of the listing (or subdirectories!) at all. Yet none of my mentioned features involve color and it is simply incorrect to suggest just reading the man page reveals "trivial" ways to replicate them all. Combined with color, I think they are even more useful, but people vary on color. Anyway, cheers & good luck to you.

Yes, that's a feature. I regard negative zero as a misfeature in most contexts. There might be some, where it's useful, but a general purpose datatype shouldn't be optimized for niche use cases.

There is no a real number called "negative zero". For extremely small-magnitude negative values, posits have more to offer than IEEE floats without the abomination that is known as denormal numbers. And for limits approaching zero, using a datatype that is supposed to represent a subset of rational numbers is the wrong tool for the job.
This might be regional specific but I'm seeing Java roles are mostly dealing with legacy 10-15yr projects, so a lot of maintenance type work, kicking tyres, keeping things running, bolting on new features to codebases no one want's to touch.

Could be. But what are the numbers? There are 3,027 results for 'java developer' on Indeed, and 196 for 'kotlin developer'. (Obviously you have to take those particular numbers with a grain of salt - e.g. job listings that match Java frequently say something like, "Knows a language like Java or C++" whereas a job listings that match Kotlin are probably? looking specifically for a Kotlin dev.)

- Is it a publicly traded company? Or do you readily trade shares of it on the secondary market? If not, then you wouldn't owe any taxes under this scheme, which only applies to "tradable covered assets" (leg. text is here: https://www.finance.senate.gov/chairmans-news/wyden-unveils-...)

- Are your personal shares of the company worth > $1B? If not, then you also wouldn't owe any taxes under this scheme, which allows you to designate up to $1B of normally "tradable covered assets" as "non-tradable covered assets".
This conveys a misunderstanding of money creation. The bank specifically does not need your cash to make loans; that is in fact what makes it a bank. However, putting your cash inside your mattress withholds your funds from the investment manager, who would or could invest it in risk assets.

They could easily exert any kind of pressure on these companies though. For example, Blackrock was given exclusive access to do wealth management in China recently[1].

Integration with other services could be a gateway drug!
Works everywhere (any of the 5 devices I use), and can see all messages once I've entered my encryption key, while maintaining a good day-to-day level of privacy (I'm no expert but this is what I understood). This unlocks the potential to use the app as a go between for reminders and note taking! Without exposing that data or having it censored.
All the flexibility of Discord, Signal and Telegram for organizing chats, people and contexts.
The biggest let downs so far:
Voice channels work like traditional VOIP calls, making it unsuitable as a replacement for discord. Integration with other platforms to solve this seems insufficient. To become de-facto it needs to offer the discord experience of joining a voice "room" or being in a voice room by yourself without needing additional set up.
Confusion about spaces vs rooms etc. The interface is fine, but it could use some polish to distinguish between the different situations.

> If expense is the concern, ... costs pennies.

I don’t suppose you’ve ever worked on a product where a couple of pennies would sink the BOM. Not to mention antenna design and cost.
> you got it right.. it's a bet

Sure. As you don't have certainty but you have to make decisions.

> Science is not the ultimate source of truth,

Science is our current best approximation of reality. But yes, it's not ultimate and we indeed do know that it's inaccurate. But we don't know better. And that's also important to keep in mind.

> it is data with a risk reward attached that you can use for your own critical thinking

Yes, but there's a trap here. It's OK as long as you base your decisions on your best knowledge (i.e. science). You can say that based on your risk profile (which you can estimate using science) the best decision (bet! :) ) for you is X. That's rational. However, a lot of people interpret similar claims as if it would be rational use what they think is "critical thinking" to override science. And that's a huge difference.

To be more specific. E.g. there is huge difference in saying that I believe that (accept the assumption) mRNA vaccines are safe with a 99999/100000 probability (i.e. cause cause serious side effects at most 1 out of 100 000 times) but I estimate my COVID risk lower, because the way I isolate myself (let's say you do have the data). I don't meet anyone, don't go outside, I'm 25yo, I work out, I don't have a condition, etc.

Vs. if someone says that "yeah, they say it's safe, but I don't think so, because this and that". Because that's not critical thinking. That's actually the lack of self reflection/critique. Even if someone reads up on some literature and they base their opinion on that, that almost certainly will just be cherry picking (it's hard to do better in a field someone knows nothing about).

> But people now are treating as an infallible religion that
> you can outsource your critical thinking to...which is scary imo.

I don't see this. I probably see more people who are so afraid of making the wrong decision that they actually end up making the wrong decision :). Again, "critical thinking" sounds good, but a lot of time it's not critical thinking. Some people may feel insecure if they just accept someone else's decision or opinion even if that someone else knows lot better. And it may feel safe to make your own decision (which, almost by definition has to be different). But that's a bad intuition. If you have no better information to base your decision on than your best source (in this case, science) then your end results will just be worse by adding in your thinking (your inferior data sources and inference).
I was saying, in a world without an estate tax.
