I still remember the letter that went around UT Austin's CS department when I was in grad school, from an undergraduate complaining that the department didn't teach i386 assembly.
It's about taking slightly more money from the top 1,000 people who have the most money. This is completely different from targeting ethnic minorities.

Progressive taxes are supposed to handle this in a broad-based way, but billionaires can afford to finagle the system so that they pay less in taxes than the rest of us.
Looks promising to me, but 15$ a month is too heavy, I find. 5 $ a month would be a no brainer to buy and switch to it personally.

But I mind apps giving them access to my email box only for comfort.

Try to merge this product with tutanota (or proton) and I would pay 25 per month!
For every instance that results in a win against a patent troll, there are many more instances where people just pay - you just don't hear about them. More recently the portfolio of companies I am a part of has seen an uptick in demands, and I have to assume that this is driven by a feedback loop that's producing good outcomes for trolls.

Or it could be overcounted by a sizable chunk too. Nobody really knows the actual count and we probably won't until the dust settles and cooler heads prevail. The only thing we can do at this point is take the numbers we have at face value.

The suction contacts that you wear to bed are basically giving your cornea a hickey. It's not going to solve anything that your glasses don't, but it might cause you grief over time if it actually ends up weakening the cornea.

They're just night contacts for people who don't want to wear contacts during the day for whatever reason. It's probably awesome for swimmers, but will do nothing for age-related sight problems.

The eye training mentioned in another thread is reputedly a little bogus, but one thing it can do is slow down that degradation if it is only age-related (versus something more serious). Basically you are exercising the muscles that are weak because of age, or staring at a single distance for far too many hours.

Lasik causes a mild night-blindness, where lit objects have halos. Not all that different than glasses on a wintery night, but without the actual fogging. As well (and this point could be wrong) the cut never heals, so you could always cause irreparable damage if your eye got rubbed or scratched the wrong way.

Pas de problème ;) Now I'm thinking about it, finding a name that is easily pronounced in many languages is probably a fun but not that trivial task.
It’s nice for small-context stuff, but it depends on the editor context as well. Hitting cmd-I to turn italics on and off is no more difficult than typing * at the beginning and the end. And then there’s the fact that the verbatim equivalent doesn't provide a way to be able to easily have ` as an in-line verbatim. Word is nice because it’s designed for writing which most text editors are not.
I find it very doubtful that a community that's mostly bots would "seem to be a healthy source of expertise" from the outside. If you're only looking at the materials that the community itself publishes (i.e. group description etc) - then sure, but that's not doing one's due diligence.

But even if you can't see it from the outside, it's not like it's a one-way door.

Regardless, what do you suggest as a remediation? By definition, if it looks good to the outsiders, how could the outsiders meaningfully moderate it?

This comment demonstrates FB's lack of self-awareness.

From the outside, people see poor judgment and lack of basic moral fiber.

From the inside, people see their own behaviour and decision-making as normal.

Thus, we get a question like this: "I do not understand. What is the accusation?"

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

One can imagine their thought process is something like: "If it is not illegal, then what is the problem?" This is not how normal people think.

It is like an inability to grasp the moral of the Trojan Horse. Facebook's response when accused of deceptive practices was "We gave users a beautiful wooden horse. Users knew exactly what they were getting. We will defend ourselves in court."

Storing data on cassette with Arduino, Python (Differential Manchester encoding)
I'm sorry but you keep trying to act as if Onavo was a high integrity operation but it clearly wasn't. I'm just quoting from wikipedia here-

* In October 2013, Onavo was acquired by Facebook, which used Onavo's analytics platform to monitor competitors. This influenced Facebook to make various business decisions, including its 2014 acquisition of WhatsApp.

* The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) initiated legal proceedings against Facebook on December 16, 2020, alleging that Facebook engaged in "false, misleading or deceptive conduct" by using personal data collected from Onavo "for its own commercial purposes" contrary to Onavo's privacy-oriented marketing.

* In August 2018, Facebook pulled Onavo Protect from the iOS App Store due to violations of Apple's policy forbidding apps from collecting data on the usage of other apps. (Note: this one even meets your definition of integrity above)

* This led to denouncements of the app by media outlets, who classified Onavo as spyware because it is used by Facebook to monetize usage habits within a privacy-focused environment, and because the app listing did not contain a prominent disclosure of Facebook's ownership.

* On January 29, 2019, TechCrunch published a report detailing "Project Atlas"—an internal market research program employed by Facebook since 2016. It invited users between the ages of 13 and 35 to install the Facebook Research app—allegedly a rebranded version of Onavo Protect—on their device, to collect data on their app usage, web browsing history, web search history, location history, personal messages, photos, videos, emails, and Amazon order history.

So every step of the way Facebook and Onava lied to their users, violated terms of services of the platforms they were user, and to spy on people at an unprecedented level. This system eventually resulted in congressional hearings.

No reasonable person thinks that these are the actions of people with integrity.
Where do you draw the line between this and dishonest & dangerous people taking power and then blocking what they dislike on the entire country's network? How do you define what constitutes bannable illicit speech without injecting a political or ideological bent into that attempt?
>found they weren't more-effective than a third dose of the original vaccine

This goes against the paper:

>A boost with mRNA-1273.351 appeared to be more
effective at neutralization of the B.1.351 virus than a boost with mRNA-1273, evidenced by the
higher mean GMT levels in the Part C cohort 1 participants (1400) than the GMT Part B
participants (864) against the B.1.351 virus. Additionally, the difference between the wild-type
and B.1.351 assays at day 1 dropped from 7.7-fold prior to the boost with mRNA-1273.351 to
2.6-fold at 15 days after the boost.

The Fed cannot do helicopter money. It is not connected to the "real" economy directly, only through the banks as middle-men. Helicopter money comes via fiscal policy.

As for so-called "asset inflation", I like Cullen Roche's take:

> In any case, I would argue that most of the asset price appreciation of the last 10+ years appears largely rational in the sense that it is supported by corporate fundamentals (record profits, record GDP, etc) and other robust economic data that is consistent with a growing economy. It isn’t just a fictitious boom as many “asset price inflation” narratives like to imply.

> As for inequality – asset price inflation would tend to exacerbate inequality since it will disproportionately benefit those who own assets. This makes sense. But as I like to always point out, inequality is a policy failure, not a market failure. After all, a capitalist economy will always veer towards monopolistic behavior if we allow it to. The extent to which we allow that to happen is not a failure of capitalism, it is a failure of policy makers to contain capitalism.

How do you define integrity in this context. (you, personally)
Maybe the decent neurosurgeons aren’t on ziprecruiter, I dunno. But $200/hour is absolutely nothing for a lawyer. Even a smallish/midsize firm is going to be billing out first-year associates higher than that. $600/hour is pretty ordinary.

And just to be clear, this is what the law firm charges for a lawyer’s time. It’s not the take home pay for the lawyer.

That's interesting, though the article concludes with:

> Despite the persistent connotation of “sin” as a negative attribute, it is clear that OAS-like responses are neither inherently “good” nor “bad.” The desirability of OAS responses is instead context dependent

It doesn't really seem from that article like we have the means to predict what OAS will be most beneficial in the future, so I think everyone are just flipping a coin here. Either you get OAS from some random vaccine available at some point in time, or you get it from randomly catching some random virus at some point in time.

I don't think a bootcamp is going to be able to teach you to be "good at" javascript (or any other language). Think back to when you'd been programming for 1 or 2 months. I'd wager there were lots of things that didn't totally make sense and some magic here and there that you didn't fully understand. It takes time - more time than a bootcamp has - to teach that deeper understanding which allows you to be "good." A bootcamp teaches you to be functional.

The difference is incentive structure. Running a business successfully is hard, and getting one to profitability is difficult. The easiest way to make money on a purchased business is to cut costs while people perceive it positively, ride that wave until the business isn't perceived positively, then sell the remaining assets. This method, given that it happens frequently, seems to be the easiest and most reliable way to turn a profit from a business over a period of 3-7 years, with no regard for the survival of that business moving forward.

Given that PE is generally looking for profits over the 3-7 year time period, this would line up with their goals.

Other businesses could absolutely have the same incentives. We see similar acquisitions from Google, Facebook, etc. where products are absorbed into the parent company or otherwise shut down. However, there's a larger chance that the purchasing business has incentives that align with the company being purchased. An established and trusted brand is incredibly valuable; many parent companies would be content to let that business thrive as a semi-autonomous business unit.

Would you argue that PE is less or more likely to employ the strategy I've outlined in my original comment? My prior would be that PE is more likely to use that strategy than other businesses.

As always, I'm open to my views being changed on that. Clearly not all PE deals involve stripping a company down, and plenty of other businesses would be happy to strip a company down. As someone with more experience with PE, I'd be interested in your views and why you have different priors than me.
Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco Delivers Remarks on Operation Dark HunTor
Go Scribe! Glad to see you launch :)
Here are my slides from back then: https://reinference.net/mp-talk.pdf

You made me wonder, because I definitely remember using Peterson's Algorithm, so I went back to my slides and turns out: I first showed the problem with x86, then indeed added an MFENCE at the right place, and then showed how that was not enough for ARM. So the point back then was to show how weaker memory models can bite you with the example of x86, and then to show how it can still bite you on ARM with its even weaker model (ARMv7 at that time, and C11 atomics aren't mentioned yet either, but their old OS-specific support is).
Since initial infectious doses and peak viral loads seem to vary wildly in people who've been infected, I would speculate that it's much easier to quantify vaccine-induced immunity in a public health context relative to so-called "natural immunity", since those initial variables can be tightly controlled. This is a practical matter for making consistent and effective public health policy, as well as a scientific matter (viz. establishing the relative effectiveness of various forms of immunity for diverse and uncertain infection scenarios). Experts in public health and/or infectious diseases, epidemiology, etc. may feel free to correct me if I'm substantially incorrect.

However, for people who see the world through a lens that paints all public health policy with the brush of partisan politics, the distinction may be difficult to grasp.

This is victim blaming. Our telecom companies and federal oversight failed to protect users from spam calls and the predictable outcome is that people will be trained to ignore all calls unless they know exactly who is calling. The cat's out of the bag and you can't blame people for doing what they've been trained to do. Unfortunately it may mean that rescue operators need to evolve and in this specific case should take the onus to use text messaging, not blame users.

>Still see no evidence among those.

"Evidence"? You said there aren't any industrial Crown corporations. In fact, you said that

>>>Crown corporation in Canada isn't running any industries though

and

>>Just because they could do something in theory doesn't mean that they would do a good job if they did. There is no evidence that they would, so using them as an example doesn't work.

But I listed a whole bunch of former industrial Crown corporations. Just because you don't like the idea that your baseless assertions were proven wrong by the facts doesn't detract from their facticity.

Canadian Vickers isn't a private company, they don't exist. When they did exist, they were heavily subsidized by the government and then nationalised into Canadair, which then privatized after the war and got thrown around as a subsidiary of various aerospace corps until '76 when the government bought it from General Dynamics. Then it actually did quite well until the Challenger business jet, then the Mulroney government -- one of those right-wing, fast-buck governments I mentioned earlier -- sold it in '86. And that's a great example, because that's just a straight-up loss. If a private company makes a crazily-bad investment, it's going to go under and get bought for pennies on the dollar by another private company. A Crown corporation, theoretically, can take less "sensible" business risks without that fear, because of government support. Unless the government decides it's not worth it and sells it for pennies on the dollar by another private company.

>Crown didn't do a good job leading this company so they sold it a decade later. This just solidifies my point, they can't run industries efficiently.

The "Crown" doesn't "lead" a Crown corporation. They don't make business decisions for them, they just provide a mandate (in this case, "design aircraft in Canada"), a financial backstop, and, yes, allow much more efficient internal meddling than normal regulatory schemes if need be.

To be honest, I don't think you really know what you're talking about. Your assertions are mostly false, and the suggestion that my argument is leading up to the idea that "government agencies" could "take over the entire private sector" is absolutely bonkers. Again, I suggest you go read up on what, exactly, a Crown corporation is and does. You're clearly under a number of incredible misapprehensions.

Well some countries are saying proven infection is good for 7 months worth of vaccine coverage.
But the length and time period of the immune response is likely much more variable than those who received vaccination
