Historically, the police department in San Francisco enforced very different norms from the police in Amarillo.

Now with increased mobility and the distance-collapsing features of the Internet, there is a felt need for norm enforcement at the national or international level. This is where the surveillance comes in. Organizations like the FBI or Interpol chase big norm violators, but they don't touch the stuff that the neighborhood patrolman would tackle (in the Robert Peel view of policing).
> It's easy, when you see lots of people making absurd claims, to go beyond just refuting those claims, and to slip into purely dismissing everything without ever checking to see if there's something of value there.

Deep behind the apparent wall of film-flam artists, there's work going on in super weird math, formal software proving with billions of dollars on the line, new programming languages, new ways of scaling consensus, and lots of art being created.

Original copies of (popular) physical art is expensive. Unknown imitations of (popular) physical art is also expensive. Known imitations of (popular) physical art is generally never expensive.

Art isn't some magic phenomenon. Many many people know that it has value! They pay a lot of money to exclusively own something that can almost always be trivially copied, not because they care it can be trivially copied, but because they _don't_ care.
Sigh. You are contradicting yourself a little here.

Ok. Fair enough, but then don't end with this:

> maybe Windows is not intended for professionals any more. Just home users and gamers.

All the anecdotes you provides lack crucial details, such as was the system prompting for restarting after updates, how were updates configured, what was the actual version (19004 21H1, older?), etc. It honestly sounds a lot like some important bits and pieces have been left out.

If you're using the Professional Edition and are worried about data loss because of update-related reboots, configure a proper update schedule and group policies - that's what the Professional edition is for.

You can't come to the conclusion that an OS is not for professionals if you don't actually use the corresponding features and configure it accordingly.

Btw., Windows has a feature that allows apps to auto-reopen and restore their state after a reboot. The fact that most software doesn't support this is not the fault of the OS either.

> One simple change is to go to referenced based pricing. You can't charge more than 1.2 the Medicare reimbursement.

Agree that this is huge. Price transparency, reference pricing. You know "the law of one price" is supposed to be a pillar of market economics, so this should be a no-brainer. Additionally, don't allow charging more than the insurance will pay with the exception of an agreed upon co-pay ahead of time. If a hospital accepts insurance, then it shouldn't be able to send you a bill later on that the insurance refuses to pay. That needs to be worked out between the hospital and the insurer. I would also like to see binding quotes before any procedure, with no surprise billing.
True, I believe they remain a middleman in the transaction. Does an agent not do that? They take a percentage fee, after all. Presumably once the contract is negotiated you work directly with the end client just like an actor would.

This is exactly the key insight in a post-scarcity environment, though: Beyond food and basic shelter, everything is lulz.

A lot of people didn't grow up in that environment of abundance, so they still think that "profit" is serious business and not lulz, but then they use that profit for big houses or yachts or children or other lulz anyway.

> This white supremacy argument is a disingenuous appeal to the extremely negative connotation

It's a perfectly reasonable argument, if not at times overfitted. In the US, zero (0) presidents have been born post-Civil Rights Act. In fact, Ruby Bridges [0] is only a year older than Bill Gates. So did Ruby's peers just happen to not produce programmers at the same rate as Bill's because they didn't "value" education? Hey, maybe it's true. Who knows? But the idea that a demographic whose grandparents had to be escorted by the national guard to protect them from white supremacist mobs on the way to get an education being behind in education has nothing to do with white supremacy, is ridiculous at absolute best.

This is my experience with using any python thing on OSX:

- brew install: fails probably

- pip or pip3 or whatever: fails probably, if it succeeds, breaks something else

- look for program-specific install programs/instructions (like the aws cli for example): maybe works, probably bombs

Python's reputation (and sales pitch) among developers is a language for people that don't want to program or learn software development. It's basically the new BASIC.

Their packaging and installers only reinforce this reputation.

Not that it is sweet roses in javaland or many other language ecosystems. Dependency graphs are complicated, because they are graphs when people want them to be simple trees.

As for virtualenvs, why does a user of software that happens to be python need to know that?

Who? Really. Who?

To be even more specific: Who, who today is hungry for public IPv4 space, and doesn't really care if it's publicly usable or not?

> Will it be worth as much as other IPv4? Maybe not.

You're missing the point. Something that's "kinda broken forever" is much worse than not having it at all, when there is an alternative.

If you can't get IPv4 for your cloud service, then you price the working addresses such that avoiding waste is a thing.

> But hard to imagine it being worth zero.

No, not zero. Just a worse value proposition than switching to IPv6, with a "good and working IPv4" proxy path in the mean time.

> The other piece, if IPv6 is so great - then this does nothing to stop the rapid adoption of IPv6 by both the major players (cloud providers) and small players.

I'm not competing. I'm saying it's a bad solution, and there's a better solution out there that's cheaper, more effective, and more long term.

This proposal an investment in throwaway work, and I would recommend that nobody adopt it.

Also note that at the rate addreses were allocated when we ran out, they were going at an /8 per 3 weeks. This is a huge investment to buy a month or two before we're right back in exactly the same spot? Clearly a bad idea.

Client side: NAT. Solved.

Server side: Who in their right mind would use 127/8 on their server? IPv4 is just not that expensive.

> Here’s the thing– Harvard is insanely competitive. The admittance rate for the class of 2025 was 3.43%, the lowest rate in the school’s history, in a year that saw an unprecedented surge in applications. But as more and more comes to light about Harvard’s admissions process, it’s clear that the school’s competitiveness is not just based on academic strength or great test scores, but also whether or not your parents or grandparents have donated significantly to the school...Take the 2019 college admissions scandal for example. It’s been almost three years since the fiasco in which dozens of wealthy people attempted to pay their children’s way into legacy institutions such as Stanford and Yale. These parents paid thousands of dollars to get people to take tests for their children, bribe test administrators and bribe college coaches to identify their children as great athletes. Fifty people were ultimately charged in the scandal, including celebrities like Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin.

This is one of those self-refuting articles. Nothing in this disproves what we already know about, say, average SAT scores: it jumps from not being admitted at a razors-edge purely on numbers to pretending those numbers are not still extremely, extremely high and the admitees meritorious. And this is no surprise. Obviously, if Harvard is that extremely selective, they can perfectly well afford to pick some legacy students with a 1590 SAT and a dozen extracurriculars instead of the nerd with a 1600 SAT and 13 extracurriculars, and we will continue to see what we see. And equally obviously, if they were admitting tons of dumb students because they weren't selective, parents wouldn't need to do crimes to smuggle their kids in via this supposedly non-meritorious route.

Using Vue components in Python frameworks (Django/Flask)
In my younger years I spent some time working in the film industry as a PA and reading everything I could to learn about the business side of things. Needless to say, after becoming a programmer, I have often asked myself the same question.

The main difference I can think of is that unlike films, which are discreet projects with hard beginning and end dates, software projects never really end. Maintenance can go on indefinitely and usually the most knowledgeable people to do that maintenance are the people that built the project in the first place. That makes some proportion of people likely to stay with a project for a longer time than it takes to just code up the requirements and generally makes turnover cycles less predictable than they are for people working on films. With less predictable turnover, agents (who generally make money at the time a transaction completes rather than continuously) would have less predictable income streams so they are less incentivized to do it. Also, even in movies, from what I saw, outside of top talent who command large contracts, all the other folks didn't seem to have agents. Thats probably because the transaction amounts for a given contract don't make sense for either party to participate. All the grips, electrical people, PAs, costuming, craft services etc workers were finding work just as a software contractor might -- through connections from friends, colleagues, and people they worked with on previous projects. Many are also part of unions for their respective part of the business so I would expect they get some assistance in finding projects from that as well (e.g. if there is a union production in town they are usually required to hire only people part of the various unions -- so if you're one of the only union members in a region you could get work that way).

I don't think agents are totally incompatible with the software industry, but I do think it would take a somewhat rare combination of highly paid project with a discreet, somewhat consistent term of employment (maybe coding up financial some kind of financial model or data pipeline for a hedge fund would fall under this?) to make it worthwhile for agents to specialize in.
To comment on psychedelics in such a way betrays your lack of knowledge about how they work both chemically and practically.
I mostly agree with you, but it's worth noting that the fee is distributed to the uniswap pool participants. Which means for a smaller coin that you are trying to pump, it would be feasible to deposit the majority of the money into the pool, and then trade back and forth to show volume. You'd be out gas fees + whatever portion of the trading fees the other participants receive.
Santizing discussion around "political neutrality" when PRC considers WUC a seccessionist and terrorist group with connection to ETIM who has history of terrorist attacks in PRC. I find it amusing how the article compares Marriot hosting Pompeo to WUC, again PRC's equivalent of Taliban. More on the nose than one would think. Looks like crisis management by Marriot throwing the local franchise under bus though. Wonder if WUC will take them up on the offer for other conferences.
What's the actual harm done by fraudulent volumes? I've been around crypto for a long time; I basically just ignore trading volumes on most exchanges, and go off other signals.

Yes, approval voting is resistant to strategy. Here are Bayesian regret and VSE figures showing it performs excellently, generally better than IRV/RCV in all kinds of strategic scenarios.

https://www.rangevoting.org/BayRegsFig

https://rpubs.com/Jameson-Quinn/VSE5key

Here's a mathematical proof that, even in the worst case scenario where 100% of voters are maximally strategic, approval voting elects the Condorcet winner (candidate who beats every rival head-to-head).

https://www.rangevoting.org/AppCW

Moreover, in 422 of the 440 ranked choice voting elections since 2004, the winner was the candidate with the most first-place votes. So even if it was true that everyone would just bullet vote with approval voting, approval voting would still elect the same winner as RCV 96% of the time. At radically lower cost and complexity.

One of the remarkable things (in the context of this age) about reading history is that you see just how many people used to write letters in heated moments and then choose not to send them once they'd cooled down. The histories of presidents are littered with such moments, and I often juxtapose that fact with social media. How often has the ability to send something instantly allowed each of us to expose our worst self to people?

> My read of that quote is that even if it's a franchised hotel, the franchisee had been told by Marriott Hotels & Resorts, not that it had consulted internally.

If they meant Marriott, I would think they would explicitly say Marriott since it gives them an out for the blame. If it wasn't a Marriott decision, it would be dumb to explicitly say Marriott but they know they have a good chance to dodge blame with just the generic "corporate management".

> It does not make much sense for a single hotel to be so worried about wider damage to the brand.

It does make sense if the franchisee has multiple hotels with some of them being in China. Don't know if that is the case, but it could be.

The ways to address this problem are “usual and customary[ed- autocorrect] prices”, consumer ratings, information transparency, externalities such as courts to punish fraud and malpractice, and skin in the game.

I have thought about this a lot in the context of real estate- up to recently, agents typically got a fixed commission (generally 3% each for buyer and seller in the places I’ve lived).

There is a moral hazard in that, assuming that the agent can impact my sales price favorably with effort on their part. If they’re helping me buy a house, and they get a percentage, then it’s in their interest for me to overpay. If I’m selling a house, then the margin for increasing the sale price above market value is probably not worth the effort ($300 for every $10k increase in sale price).

My solution (I have not tried it yet) is to structure a sales rep contract such that we agree on a target price for the standard commission, but increase the commission greatly for the sale price amount above the target price. Maybe 3% up to the sale price and 50% above that. That’s what I term “skin in the game”.

Assuming I have done a minimum of homework (looked for agent ratings and avoided bad or inexperienced agents; looked at comparables on Zillow to make sure the proposed sale price is market appropriate, etc.) then I should get a good outcome.

Doctors and state license boards often make it difficult to get informed consumer type information on doctors. Our insane medical system in the US almost never supports price transparency. So we have a long way to go there.

Note one other thing. I am trying to optimize for the best outcome I can assuming limited resources. If you have unlimited resources then you can hire and fire lots of doctors, overpay for performance, and generally do things that are unavailable to mere mortals. Also I am not assuming or eve trying to achieve perfect results (most beneficial result available at the lowest price point). I think that is a fool’s game.

I was going to say the same thing. Immigration into the US is extremely difficult if you aren't already famous/wealthy/well-connected, that if you want a visa, coming in through education is your best bet. And getting a job with a company that will sponsor your visa (to say nothing of one that will sponsor your potential green card) is already difficult, but being a student and having a graduate degree is a good incentive.
Others have commented there is a perception that male cleaners will steal valuables. And it may very well be statistically true, given men's much greater criminal behaviour in general compared to women.
