Thanks for this addendum, this is important. I'd also emphasize the practical effect that our rudeness/friendliness can have. I experienced this last year when we were trying to get care for my father after he was nearly killed by COVID. The hospital wanted to send him home before he was able to care for himself, and we wanted the hospital to discharge him to rehab instead.

My sister's initial strategy was to go full Karen and treat the patient care coordinator like she was my sister's employee. She adapted to the coordinator's natural reticence with increasing bitchiness, and quickly got her calls screened.

My father on the verge of getting kicked out while still in dire need of care, I called the same coordinator, explained our dilemma in detail, said I don't know what to do, and asked for her help. My magic spell was simply to treat the coordinator as a resourceful and intelligent person who was in a position to help me, and ask her plainly for help. That's it. The coordinator told me she'd see what she could do, and then spent the next two days searching for a solution. When she found a way to get my dad into rehab for a few days, I told her she was my hero.

I try to treat even the most obviously external and powerless customer service reps with the same plain respect as that patient coordinator, and I'm often surprised by how far it gets me.

You are talking about a different problem. Congress did not make these companies adopt zero customer service and ghosting as their preferred method of engaging with users.

I have friends who invested their life savings in starting businesses on Amazon, only to be shut down without warning and losing it all as a result. Another one had their product cloned by Amazon once he achieved success, they shut down his account and absolutely ghosted him. No way to talk to anyone about any of it. He lost his home as a result. I know people who had their Google accounts suspended with no reason given and no way to contact anyone to resolve the matter, some suffering serious business consequences. Similarly with Facebook and FB advertising.

Such decisions are not made by people with the benefit of healthy human engagement in their lives. This behavior is evil, brutally so.

Bitcoin had design goals in mind to avoid certain downsides of centralized currencies. The cryptocurrency space however lives inside the broader economy and questions about what money is and the regulations around it don't go away just because a specific cryptocurrency thought about some of these aspects in it's design. Even if bitcoin were to solve everyone's problems as some maximalists would claim how do we even implement this? Considering much of the world doesn't have holdings in bitcoin what are we to do? Similarly what do we do about people who don't have the infrastructure to run full nodes? What about dealing with interference with using the cryptocurrency imposed by external actors?

There's good reasons why people discuss these ideas, bitcoin, much like anything else is just part of the direction things can go in and it doesn't exist in isolation from the rest of the world.

Hi, I'm the OP.

I spent five hours on the phone today with an Apple senior associate and an Apple engineer in the media services department. They were explicit that the fraud prevention department had placed notes on my account with instructions that it should not be reactivated due to violations in the T&C, and that the violations were related to the use of Apple gift cards. So, yes, we're pretty sure it was the gift cards, although it's likely there are some details that I'm not aware of.

They probably have algos that surface fraud-like behavior which is then reviewed by a fraud specialist. I'm sure Apple has to battle massive amounts of fraud. It's a hard job, and it's understandable that in some cases there would be an immediate and irrevocable ban. I'm just astonished that it happened to me.

>Well clearly because that's not what I wrote. You're mixing liabilities with assets and also redefining the money supply to include the bank

Wait, I thought the entire point is that FooBank is creating money? Do you want to pretend they don't exist?

>Not sure how borrowing $1000 leaves me with "-$1000" in assets or what that's supposed to mean

Ok, fine, you can have the $1000, it's not a loan after all.

Lemme update it:

At first:

Me: $1000 in deposits
FooBank: $1000 in assets - $1000 in deposits, total of $0
You: $0

After your non-loan:

Me: $1000 in deposits
FooBank: $1000 in liabilities, no assets
You: $1000

But! FooBank can never return my deposit at this point.

So the cold hard truth is...

Me: $0 in deposits
FooBank: (bust)
You: $1000

And so in the end, there is the same $1000 that there was in the beginning, no money created.

In sort-of real life, the FDIC would bail me out, I guess, and then I would have $1000, but that certainly would be the opposite of the bank creating it.

It’s all for show, just like being “angry” at another country spying on you. You do something like “kick out their embassy employees”, then turn around and let new ones come in.

I am suggesting what? How did you arrive to that conclusion from me saying eg.

> I'd avoid registration and only introduce registration/renewal fees after (a period of 10-15 years)

After that initial period (whatever it is, maybe even longer), do you seriously think you'd be disadvantaged from someone using a non-humans-containing photo from your Facebook?

As for photographer holding the copyright, I am mostly pointing out a legal nuance today that is never enforced. And many of those photos you are in — selfies excluded — you don't have the explicit right to post (but neither does the photographer but not because of copyright).

As for them being taken by family, family members have sued each other for less :)

Of course they are!

That's how this goes. Once the door is open for censorship, it all works just like lies do, and it's often associated with lies and or hurt egos, say lack of acceptance and respect, and it tends to spread, until it's ridiculous.

And let's get real here: This whole mess is because the government and big media don't like being near constantly ratioed.

They do have the option of improving how they work and what they say, but maybe they feel it is easier to just try and hide the problems. People went away from broadcast because of this crap, and reproducing it online means people will go somewhere else again.

What it won't do is transform things into being reputable.
I guess I should have elaborated more, but I meant extensible materials. Other DCCs let you extend them with custom material types that map to renderers. Blender is kind of "use our tools or fork the app" instead.
LLVM has at least two optimizations that can elide moves in different circumstances, MemCpyOpt and SROA. But it depends on the situation. If you call a function that moves its argument to its return value, that move definitely won't get elided if the function is not inlined. But simple functions are likely to be inlined.

> The problem is, half the point (and the difficulty) of a crdt is constructing it so incomplete combinations of state updates kinda still make sense.

The real problem is that we're trying to solve this problem at the wrong level of abstraction.

I think CRDTs can be reformulated as a subset of a larger replicated data type model that explicitly includes conflicts as part of the model, that any chosen set of transformations can be programmatically projected into a corresponding set of conflicts, that the choices of resolutions to those conflicts can be pre-packaged and composable, that some of those resolutions may need to be 'add a new transformation that choses between conflicts created by two other conflicting transformations' (basically exposing the problem up into the model of the data type), and that a composition of chosen resolutions can be proved to be fully conflict-free.

The biggest benefits of this approach are: 1. It enables modeling domains where conflicts are an unavoidable part of the domain itself. 2. It allows tuning an initially pessimistic model where all conflicts are exposed to the user by gradually adjusting the conflict resolution choices so that it becomes more conflict-free over time; especially by composing known conflict-free subsets of the model into larger conflict-free subsets.
here I am staying at my grandparents house for the weekend and I have decided to send something to them they will just love!

Oh here I am moved to Kansas in my new company provided house as part of relocation, but there are still somethings we need here I can see that already I will just pay for it with my CA card because I haven't got a new local one yet.

Obviously all these are edge cases but probably so are all those problems with paypal, google, amazon cancelling some customer's stuff and we get all upset about it here. So cancelling something because it looks suspicious is pretty unfair to people who haven't done anything wrong.

The takeaway is that these additional gains in productivity are being captured by land (as expected based on the law of rent). The problem is that this is popular when the majority of voters (or at least, the ones active in politics and making their opinion heard) are homeowners.

Copyright was a reasonable bargain when printing a book involved a large up-front investment of typesetting it and then printing all the copies that would ever be printed from that setup. It didn't affect most people, just printers. And it enabled authors to make a living from writing.

It became fairly dubious in the age of photocopiers, but fortunately was little enforced, except in the USSR. A photocopier was useless without typeset or handwritten text to copy, and the copies degraded every generation, so publishing houses were still needed.

Now every computer is a book-copying machine more powerful than the entire publishing industry a few decades ago: it can transmit a gigabit per second, and for a one-megabyte book, that's 125 copies a second, 10 million copies a day, 3 billion copies a year, so copyright is a constant danger to everyone. Fanfic sites are full of people sharing stories they wrote with no expectation of making money. The age of the rich celebrity authors like Isaac Asimov or Ernest Hemingway ended decades ago, not due to xeroxes but due to TV. The best software is free software, as copyright makes proprietary software untrustworthy, creating incentives to stuff it with malware. And, even if Elsevier were paying researchers instead of vice versa, the idea that copyright on research papers could fund research is as ludicrous as the idea that people would stop singing songs and telling stories without monopoly profits.

Apps, videos, and websites constantly disappear due to (often groundless) accusations of copyright violations. Police evade accountability by playing copyrighted music, rendering any recordings of their abuses copyright violations. A mutual friend of ours committed suicide after being prosecuted for copyright violations that might have been fair use; we'll never know.

So, I would set the copyright term at zero years. Legal monopolies on preserving and sharing knowledge are not only useless in today's world, they are harmful, a monstrous menace to the integrity of the historical record and to private communication.

I guess it would be more efficient for fraudsters to say - any organization I have dealings with that I do not know is not a fraudster like me if they show fraudster like behavior I will henceforth treat as fraudster - that is to say 1 bad fraudster behavior from you no more dealings.

Mister FPGA: The Future of Game and Computer Emulation
What happens in the Midwest that makes it a carbon sink? Growing crops that turn back into atmospheric CO2 within a couple of months would be carbon neutral at best.

"The strong atmospheric sink in the agricultural region is consistent with the difference in the spatial distribution of agricultural production and product consumption: a strong atmospheric uptake by crops during the growing season in the Midwest states, while much of the release of carbon associated with consumption of agricultural products occurs in other regions, in the United States and abroad. It must thus be pointed out that this apparent atmospheric sink in the Midwest does not imply a long-term carbon sequestration"

If anything, you've just convinced me even more that this is some propaganda campaign:

Two of those posts are from accounts that are less than a month old.

One of them has a first post in /r/shadowban to see if the account is globally shadow banned or not. Also posting in /r/FreeKarma4U for similar reasons. Common for troll/bots.

One of them reposted an obviously fake post about wife having cancer. The original account that posted that story has been permanently suspended.

One of them hasn't posted since a week after they created their account, magically deleted some of their posts, and is now posting a year later with obviously fake karma farming stuff.

>None of these posts seem unreasonable.

Almost all of them are obviously fake or karma whoring.

>What exactly is the problem here?

There are obvious troll farms on reddit shaping narratives. We had a federal investigation and congressional hearings that confirmed this to be true.

I'd be willing to bet half or more of these accounts will be suspended at the end of the next presidential election.
