We dont need the government for this. They need us to support them. And right now thats just this decade long debate about CPI and inflation, which is now accelerating due to the currency supply shock over the last year as people are converted into paying attention to this discussion.

I live in a fairly HCOL area in a state with some of the highest gas taxes (California). Gas is $4.19/gal* and ground beef is $6/pound. So my guess is that they're in the Bay Area OR just shopping at very expensive places

*Here in Los Angeles there's a handful of gas stations that inexplicably charge $1-$2 more than any other one. I always assume it's either money laundering or they just prey on people who aren't paying attention. $4.19 is just the cheapest price I've driven by in the last 24 hours

Thanks for the detailed response, I see I was missing significant context, and my perception was wrong. I am surprised because I got this notion from some relatively conservative podcasts I listen to. I will be better informed in the future!

In any case though, I think regardless of whether it can be called an invasion or a reunification, the point stands that there can be motivations for doing so that are not monetary (i.e. taking over the fabs) but have more to do with national identity and pride, and I think for the PRC this is such an issue, at least in part.

Does that sound like a fair statement to you?

I mean at this point for countries that retain any level of sovereignty the imperative to control their own internet seems like a no-brainer. You could argue something about freedom of information in the pre-facebook world, but nowadays you have basically people accessing the same 3-4 websites that are tightly coupled with the US intelligence agencies.

So if you don't want the US government running psychological operations and seeding "color revolutions" on your youth, you'll have to apply countermeasures as soon as possible.

Making the US-controlled websites more difficult to access could also promote true alternatives that are not in control of any foreign actor, with real end-to-end encryption and all those nice things.

I'm searching that number and I can't find anything.

I found this, which is comparing the same quantities and has five pounds of meat. https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1410709115333234691

There's a bunch of complaints about other prices, and people pointing out the prices are up 8% since 2019, but I don't see anything about "cutting out all the meat" and I don't see the number 49 anywhere.

And the ground beef had the second biggest percent drop in price in that list, anyway.
This is Idiocracy in the making. If you actually think this guy is in any way of form smart, I pitty you.
As a disabled person myself I will go as far to suggest that the websites should allow unfettered bot access to the disabled i.e. anything a user without malicious intent is allowed to do on a platform should be allowed to be done by a bot for a disabled because accessibility & equity are a joke.

Social media platforms has made physical appearance as the first class citizen of the reputation economy. I'm not even talking about those platforms which outright bury content from the disabled as a policy, I'm talking about those platforms whose algorithms favor selfies, videos over text/URLs and thereby putting those with accessibility issues in severe disadvantage.

Why would you use such platforms one might say, Do something which has nothing to do with the reputation economy they might add; Well have you looked at LinkedIn lately? LinkedIn has become ubiquitous with professional job search and 30 second video intro is the very first thing on the profile, not the skills which the platform was meant to be when it was launched. One must be naive to claim that the physical appearance on that video or profile picture doesn't affect the job prospects(Several studies have stated otherwise).

It's not just the physical appearance, The action of creating videos or posting photos itself is hard as a time-constrained person[1] and so I think it's reasonable to ask the platform to allow bots to post deep-fake videos of the user doing silly things which these platform expects from an average user.

I am not sure this is the case - My job is to perform and disseminate research to the community. To do this I submit my research to a journal, and my employer pays for them to review and edit it.

Nowhere in my job prescription nor when I submit to the journal it is stated that I am expected to review, and I do not view it as my moral obligation to review. If there is a shortage of reviewers, I am sure journals will start paying them (as they should).

Thanks that's interesting! They however kept what I consider J/APL's main syntactic misfeature, overloading the meaning of every symbol in pretty arbitrary ways depending on whether it is called with one or two arguments. E.g.

Revolut now has a web app [1], which still tries to get you to log in via the mobile app but this is not necessary. So long as you know your pass code and have alternative access to your email then you can log in and do most of the things you can do via the app. You do have to wait 10 seconds for the privilege though (before allowing access via email there is a timer before you can confirm you do not have access to the mobile app.).

JMLR has a far higher impact factor than "Machine Learning".

The for-profit publishers are welcome to print whatever they want, forever. They even publish "hollow" journals that exist purely as spoilers. You're mistaken if you believe they "make their money either way" they need subscribers, and it's increasingly unattractive to subscribe to second rate journals like "Machine Learning".
What's needed is to impose on programming languages, outside of comments, checks similar to the checks made for domain names.

There is a draft standard for this.[1] It references RFC 5893 and some other documents. Some of the rules:

- All code points in a single label must be taken from the same script as determined by the Unicode Standard Annex #24: Script Names. Exceptions to this guideline are permissible for languages with established orthographies and conventions that require the commingled use of multiple scripts. (Like mixing kanji and romaji in Japanese.)

- The "Bidi rules" of RFC 5893, which define allowed right to left and left to right modes, must be enforced. These are complicated, because of such things as the Arabic and Hebrew convention of right to left text with left to right numeric digits in numbers. But they are well-defined.

- Only code points allowed by IDNA 2008 are allowed. This eliminates such things as the non-breaking zero width space, the expansion areas for future use, and such.

The domain name people have been banging on this problem since 2003, and by now, there's a rough consensus of what to disallow. So start putting checks for that in compilers. If you find violations of those rules, it's more likely to be a typo than something useful, anyway.

So that's a way out of this.

Stephen Wolfram has the honor of having delivered the worst lecture I've ever personally attended (second worst: Stephen Hawking). I think he literally spent zero time thinking about what he might say. He spent an hour up there, typing things into Wolfram Alpha and sometimes being surprised they didn't work, then at some point showed, apropos of nothing, a crude chart of the times he'd gotten up each day. Looks he got that into Wired around the same time. This was one of the times when I realized that part of the secret of these wildly "successful" people is that are talented/lucky/hard-working enough initially to get credibility, then they shamelessly overcommit, picking a couple of things they feel like actually working on at any given time, and let everyone else down. I'm not even really disparaging the approach, since I, like everyone else, have to do it more and more as I get older. But, I was very disappointed at the time.
Its fairly trivial, some stuff needs a modified browser executable or some JavaScript magic but it wont take you longer than 2-5 Hours to bypass most of the heuristics, disabling the window.navigator.webdriver flag and getting a residential IP is on its own enough to get single click captchas every 1-2 tries for example. To be fair I haven't looked into it since 2019 but i doubt that its gotten much harder.
This is exactly why I don't play single-player games anymore, not even JRPGs which are supposed to be more story-focused but which just end up going the safe and mainstream route anyways, especially if they're a big-budget production similar to AAA games in the west.

Grinding against AI enemies is totally pointless (well at least until real "AI" akin to Alphago becomes popularized I guess). If I want to be challenged on skills and mental traits via gameplay, I play against other human players in multiplayer games (I don't do that either since this year, as it can ultimately be perceived as a repetitive timesink from which you get nothing new, once you reach a certain level in terms of ranking and of course can't go further by making it your full-time job).

Nowadays I pretty much just read visual novels https://vndb.org/, when not reading actual traditional books. I believe it's still a relatively niche genre in the west, though its popularity outside of Japan has been steadily growing in the last decade. There's truly no limit to the authors' creativity in the world of VN, and you get all sorts of thought-provoking and sometimes even life-changing experience (not an exaggeration, see reviews for the highest-rated VN of all time https://vndb.org/v92), which when delivered well cannot be replicated in any other medium.

PS: people say "nobody reads books anymore these days" all the time just like the author does, the validity of which I have always doubted. 100 years ago the literacy rate was much lower than it is nowadays. And even 30 or 40 years ago, it was unlikely that the vast majority of the populace were into serious reading instead of more straightforward pasttime such as TV or just a day out on the beach. Reading has always been a relatively minority hobby and has probably already managed to become more popular (especially with the proliferation of audiobooks and other technologies), instead of declining.

But you don't need cryptocurrencies for a local currency. In fact, you better not use one because you don't need the distributed part of it, and you definitely want to be able to control the money supply. A centralized electronic system or a paper-based system are all you need. Or maybe use Taler[1] if you want some cool tech with bleeding edge cryptography.

One would think that the standard Republican talking points and deflections about the deaths of George floyd, Ahmed Arbery etc. towards "post modern academic theories" being the root of the problem would have run its course by now. But, apparently, it is still alive and well.

Thankfully we have video recordings of both incidents, otherwise there would be no justice like in many other crimes. Meanwhile, Republicans can keep themselves busy sharing videos of a Walmart that got looted during the riots that followed.

These post modern academic theories are really ruining the country.

> calculated by using the price of a standardized basket of things

Doesn't this sort of assume that the needs and wants of society stay consistent over time? I wonder if that is a valid assumption with how fast the world changes these days. For example, smartphones were hardly necessary 10 years ago, but now everyone needs one. And modes of transportation have changed: now we have Uber and a large number of electric cars, which wasn't the case 10 years ago. How could an index that includes things like the price of gas be an accurate measure, if society's needs are constantly in flux?

Google tip: lose the quotes, use just keywords. https://www.google.com/search?q=individualism+white 4th result, the notorious 2011 "White Fragility" by one R. DiAngelo. Let's search for the root, "individual". Something perhaps interesting:

"At the same time that whites are taught to see their interests and perspectives
as universal, they are also taught to value the individual and to see themselves as
individuals rather than as part of a racially socialized group. Individualism erases
history and hides the ways in which wealth has been distributed and accumulated
over generations to benefit whites today. It allows whites to view themselves as
unique and original, outside of socialization and unaffected by the relentless racial
messages in the culture. Individualism also allows whites to distance themselves
from the actions of their racial group and demand to be granted the benefit of the
doubt, as individuals, in all cases. A corollary to this unracialized identity is the
ability to recognize Whiteness as something that is significant and that operates in
society, but to not see how it relates to one’s own life. In this form, a white person
recognizes Whiteness as real, but as the individual problem of other “bad” white
people (DiAngelo, 2010a)."
