It's not about rich or poor. Any group, if you threaten their economic interests, will retaliate.

Take for instance public sector unions: they have grown from strength to strength over the last 50 years, and today are owed trillions in pensions, from sweetheart collective bargaining agreements, that have massively increased their benefits, while degrading the quality of public services, like public education:

https://academic.oup.com/qje/article-abstract/111/3/671/1839...

Public school teachers in New York state have a pension that averages $88K per year upon retirement, and it is almost impossible to fire them over the course of their career:

https://www.the74million.org/article/investigation-nyc-tried...

If you were to eliminate the laws that force states into collective bargaining with their exclusive unions, without compensating them, you would get a socialist (Black Lives Matter / the 99%) revolution on your hands.

If you were to institute a LVT without compensating the millions of people whose main source of wealth is property, you would get a fascist revolution on your hands.

Conflicts are enormously costly. It is better to pay to avoid them where it can be morally justified.

And conflicts can be preceded by decades long stalemates, where no reform happens. Reaching a settlement sooner can save trillions in cumulative efficiency gains from ridding the economic structure of rent-seeking.

As for the moral justification, the Guardian in 1833 provided it:

https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/from-the-archive-blo...

>>"The guilt of slavery attaches far more to the nation which has introduced, legalized and supported it, than to the planters"

Ironically, today it's the Guardian's journalists who extract economic rent, via laws that force their employer to limit the parties they negotiate with to members of their union, to the exclusion of all other workers. The Guardian's 1833 defense of punitive reformation would thus protect the staff of the Guardian in 2021 from a highly disruptive transformation of the legal framework.

>>In any case the US made back a lot of the losses of the war during the period of reconstruction.

The damage from the Civil War is still not fully repaired.
Signs You’re Doing OKRs Wrong
By the way, sound travels better through solids (like concrete) than air.
Generally speaking no. When there needs to be major maintenance, each condo unit owner pays N% of the cost where N% is defined as your ownership stake (also your voting weight) in the condo. N is roughly your unit's square footage / the sum of every unit's square footage.
I can't help but think that kids today are doing something like this in their own way. And that the real thing people miss when they wax nostalgic is youth.
Seems like an autohotkeys-type of programming combined with MS Access. The 'low code' solution of the day?
I think a big factor with color themes is actually the monitor settings. I have my monitor tuned for dark mode everywhere. If I put a light theme on, the contrast doesn't look right and I go back to dark themes. Maybe it's a result of my fine-tuning, but the default "Visual Studio Dark" theme in VS Code is my favorite. It's a great minimalist theme. And I've even tried a lot of the minimalist themes suggested in this thread.
A contract’s a contract and if they agree to something, it’s enforceable.

For example — it’s not uncommon when adopting a dog to sign a contract agreeing you will walk it N times a week, or never leave it unattended in public, etc.

Are Quill developers that good that this was the only way to get talent?

I must know, truly.
Wait, it's doxxing a witness a bad thing?

This seems like a legitimate crime.
No, it's not about the "optimal way", it's about the oft-cited the factoid "90% of people are haptic learners, 30% are visual learners, 15% are auditory learners, 25% are text-based learners". Somebody did an experiment and found out 90% of subjects remembered something later when they had to learn to do it, but only 25% remembered when they had to read it. (All numbers made up, does not matter in the context of this comment)

Of course, this completely misrepresents the experiment! After learning to do something, you are 90% likely to retain it for a certain duration, after you read about it, you are only 25% likely to retain it, so in aggregate you only retain 25% of what you read.

The idea was never to find people who are "visual learning type" or the "non-learning-by-doing type".

That's what became of this idea in education through the game of telephone that mangles experimental results on their way from developmental psychology and cognitive science into education departments, and then into future high school teachers during undergrad lectures. Even my own high school teachers in Germany talked about learning types as if there was such a thing.
Could you elaborate why you think failing to take drugs will lead to extinction of the human species within a generation (as we would see without sex)? Why would there be an evolutionary pressure towards taking drugs?
Great info on their site: "We’d like to thank everybody who has used Quill — if you came on board during our beta, or if you just sent your first message last week. We can’t wait to show you what we’ll be working on next."

Oh yeah, I'm just waiting to jump to your new ship after this.
There are a lot of sales that retain rules on property sold, like housing covenants.

Im currently looking into Hasura/PostGraphile as a possible substitute for large parts of my backend stuff. I mostly build fairly simple CRUD apps, so I’m confident I can reduce complexity by quite a bit

Ah yes we just buy yandex or baidu.
I’m in the same boat as you but I just don’t consume YouTube at all. Sure I’ve looked up repair things or a tutorial if it’s less than 10 minutes. I have to have something specific to watch I don’t just keep watching related videos. Watch a movie trailer I wanted to see, then peace out. Maybe it’s partially an age thing or perhaps just some people get that dopamine release easier from YouTube. I will say the exception is that I have spent time watching videos of people building things as long as it doesn’t have narration or hot takes from the people. I guess in general I can’t get behind any of the standard issue YouTuber speak and mannerisms, it’s all very similar (at least that’s how I feel with the popular videos).
Yep, HN is one of the few websites I use my browser's zoom feature on. 125% is enough for me to comfortably read.

Just a few lines of CSS could really improve readability here.
There are three answers to this.

The first is that the us mortgage market is 10Tn. So it would have been required a 10x bigger bailout to do it directly.

The second is that someone has to decide who get a mortgage and one what property and at what rate etc. The government would need to do that too. And it seems cheaper and easier to use the existing companies that get the fed (?) To hire 1m real estate people and managers etc.

Reason 3 is that that would have been fine for mortgage holders. But what about everyone else who used those banks? Commercial loans, bon mortgage debt, insurance services, a whole bunch of very important economic processes would have suddenly ground to a halt. Mortgage holders were the main thing bailee out. But not the only thing.
College Major Restrictions and Student Stratification

How to define a journalist is a tough problem I can't easily solve, but I'd be inclined to say that once you do, any of them being in jail for any reason should count. The risk of overcounting the few journalists who might genuinely commit crimes unrelated to their journalism seems lower than the risk of undercounting journalists who were in reality jailed because of their journalism, but were officially for invented crimes.
Maybe it was just as an foreign resident my obligations were different, but I only looked into it briefly
If you think a bit bigger and imagine a worldwide audience (basically the defining feature of whatsapp), the initial killer apps here are remittances and the ability to build out marketplaces and stores.

Assume the goal is global wechat-like commerce. IMHO this is huge.

The regulatory interactions will be formidable because every country will want to get its fingers into this, money and who gets it is ultimately politics.

The crypto bit lets you work around locally broken financial systems, but a lot of negotiating with governments will still be required.

Privacy will necessarily be nonexistent, to get to global reach all transactions will have to be at least as legible as current bank transfers to involved governments. This is not "WhatsApp's fault" per se, it's just the world we live in.
I have this problem now, or, at least, I have a problem that might be solved with such a site.

However, the trick would be convincing NON-technical people to use it rather than ad-hoc group texts or (ugh) Facebook.
Does this mean that houses will finally become a bit more affordable in the US?
I think people used to publish "postmortems" for projects that were literally over, either because they failed or because they were published long ago. At some point people started using it for outages, then security issues too.

I agree that the term is inadequate, I can just see how we got here.

This seems incorrect. It says on their site:

How do I export my team’s messages?

1. Go to your Settings in Quill → https://app.quill.chat/settings

2. Click the team you want to export

3. Under the Export Team heading, press Start Export

4. Export will have started. After a few minutes, you will receive an email with the link to the .zip file containing your export.
> The only way to service a dollar debt is to raise dollars. One path to doing that is to sell dollar-denominated assets. US Stocks and bonds in other words. So the pressures in China can spill over into the US economy through forced asset sales of dollar-denominated assets.

During height of the 2008 financial crisis the Federal Resevere opened an currency swap facility with the Swiss National Bank and the ECB ultimately capped at $620 billion, with the express purpose of allowing the other central banks to bail out banks domiciled in their jurisdictions.

So with the cooperation of the Fed, it is possible for them to print dollars.
Looks great, although all their mistakes are minor process mistakes. They never admit something like "We gave these guys money but they wasted it, so we shouldn't have".
Wow, this guy makes me a bit sad, because I did a 4 year Elec Eng degree and the guy that taught semi conductors was so bad. Almost everyone failed the exam because they had no idea what he was talking about (lots of the other modules were good). I (re)learnt more from watching a few of these videos than I did in a semester at university.
I'd argue that for most types of content the modern problem is the abundance of creative effort (orders of magnitude more good content being created globally than anyone can consume) because of the global scaling so the major social problems for arts are the curation and discovery of the abundant creative effort, not securitization of some actually scarce resource. A particular piece of art or a particular author's work becomes scarce only due to social factors e.g. their work becoming "hot" among the uncountable other equally good works which aren't noticed or cared about for random reasons, not because such work is inherently scarce.

A lot of sufficiently niche hobbies still do. E.g. if you get into rare fruit growing, a lot of the best information is in various Discourse forums.
1. You can smoke in your home or where people are okay being around you

2. The cost is the fault of policies like universal healthcare that ultimately the taxpayers decided on giving. If they don’t like smokers, give an opt out.
Why does using an additional platform require abandoning anything?

Having a forum account doesn't delete your Twitter.
text is for learning, video is for entertainment, the problem is that people are confused about what they are doing
Remember that if law enforcement has to identify you, they have a whole different set of resources most of us don't have – like the ability to go to the coffee shop and also nearby stores and ask for their camera feeds.

And license plate readers (like others have mentioned).

Physical opsec is probably also very hard (I don't know anything about it, I just love those kinds of Hollywood movies).
Now THAT might be a realistic technical goal & business opportunity.
I am going to be the voice of dissent here. In September my OTA antenna fell and I never put it back up. I have Netflix but I usually don't watch it.

What I spend most of my time on is YouTube and I consider that time to be quality time. I like falling asleep to Adrian's Digital Basement.
The building value by the county assessor's office is considered a standard for depreciation schedules. While it might not be useful for selling the property or building it - it does have value for accounting purposes.
The main problem with youtube is lack of control. I would pay youtube if it allowed me to fully control and monitor how it works so that I can fine tune it's behaviour to fit my needs.

For example I would like to:

- disable recommendations in some contexts (similar to how OP does it)

- label videos and let youtube to classify videos into these set of labels, so that I can either block of filter videos accordingly (eg. I could label certain videos as "junk" and would keep those hidden unless I really want to see such videos)

- search by video length, eg. show me only talks which takes about an hour

- say, show me something I found entertaining, but I have just half an hour, so that after the time is up, it no longer shows such stuff

- setup a "watch budget time" to spend or disable service during certain time periods

- see metrics about my watch behaviour, so that I can fine tune youtube options accordingly

I would be even ok for youtube to show me some ads based on my behaviour, if I have some control over it. Eg. disable ads with too small target group or ads I find annoying.

And while there could be some monetization options (eg. you configure your account not to show you something or don't provide service in given timerange - but you would be able to cancel that for a fee :-)) I doubt that it would make sense for them from business perspective: it would decrease the value of the advertising they are selling while it would cost a lot. So in the end I'm not sure if I would be able the real price of all this.
You can come meet us, the link has been in my profile for months. ;)
The -MAX? Or are we calling it the -8 now?
Twice? We pay way more than twice. It would take another pair of hands to count all the different taxes we pay.

I am not saying that taxes are "only a protection racket". There are hard-core libertarians who think any federal taxes that aren't paying for protection are unjust. I am not one of those people. I am one, like many, who say "taxes are the price we pay for civilization"
Good to know that Saudis have an analog to FFA Cattle Judging:
https://www.ffa.org/participate/cdes/dairy-cattle-evaluation...

A brief read of the FFA web page seems to show that cattle judging is an excellent way for youngsters to develop skills in a fun and wholesome setting. I hope that camel beauty contests can raise up Saudis the same way!
1. The real value is in operational documents such as clinical notes, maintenance records, soldier and police notebooks, etc. this info is proprietary to a organization and its partners and is directly linked to how it produces and pays for value.

2. Superhuman accuracy at limited tasks is not good enough. For instance transcribing audio at 95% word-level accuracy would be good for a human but it means every other sentence is garbled. People communicate despite this because they ask questions. A useful text-to-structured information tool has to exert back pressure on bullshit, give feedback about what it understands and push the author to tell a story that makes sense and has adequate detail.
There's also an issue with defining "journalist".

Some people being described as "journalists" are really activists who are actively taking part in the movement that's being targeted by the government.

It doesn't excuse imprisoning them, but it muddies the water when it comes to defending them, and bloats the numbers in a way that make the problem more easy to dismiss.

On the other hand - certifying journalists is a non-trivial problem.

<disclaimer: former real scientist>

Science is a profession like others. When you are earning your Ph.D. you learn to think about the field by reading papers and discussing with peers and colleagues, yes.

The intro of a well-structured research paper should follow this pattern:

- This is a really important topic and here is why.

- What is the current state of the art in this field? (this comes from reading 100-1000 publications on the topic and selecting the 5-10 most relevant to the next point). HOWEVER, the state of the art leaves this question unanswered.

- Here are some reasons why the idea in this paper can help answer that question (cite another 3-10 papers).

- Our hypothesis is that XXX can answer the important unanswered question (where X is derived from the prior section).

So, what I am getting at, a scientific publication is part of a conversation. When I'm citing the 5-10 papers to summarize the state of the art, I'm assuming the reader has read 50% of the 100-1000 papers which I also read, and knows where the 5-10 which I cite fit into that broader context.

So any paper, in isolation, only has a fraction of its meaning in the publication. The real information is the surrounding context.

Pro tip: if I'm reading a paper and want to understand it better, I also read one or two of the papers it cites, and one or two papers which cite it. Also, it can take a few times through before I start to understand what the author is trying to say.
I seem to remember a space station with that name too.
I understood the criticism directed at the value of papers as instruments of knowledge sharing. The argument is not that papers are completely useless in terms of knowledge sharing but that this pure purpose of dissemination is largely overshadowed by considerations of carreer, prestige, funding or any interest other than knowledge sharing.

This is the world we live in. A scientist is a person that needs to make a living and is subject to various constraints.

The reason that there is little money to be made is that society hasn't found a way to set up the scientific process in such a way that the constraints would value the increase in public domain knowledge higher than the incentives to hold some knowledge back.

Part of this may stem from leaving specialized knowledge to academia while letting only companies reap the monetary rewards of putting the knowledge to use. Society benefits only indirectly (better drugs, machines, etc) but industry players will rather shield knowledge and adapt its representation to their own needs.

I grew up in Des Moines, it's a rather nice place to live and raise a family. Great amenities, pleasant(relatively) traffic, good roads, decent airport, quality schools, etc... there's plenty of compelling reasons to live there - especially at that price.

Boring at times, but it's a lively enough city and you can still park in front your destination for free, which I've always appreciated.

How to Find a Buyer for Your Startup
Thanks - I missed these replies, but this is an interesting result. I'll grant you that the results in all the comments are certainly far better than I would have expected.
C99 draft, 6.5.6.8:

Moreover, if the expression P points to the last element of an array object,
the expression (P)+1 points one past the last element of the array object,
and if the expression Q points one past the last element of an array object,
the expression (Q)-1 points to the last element of the array object. If both
the pointer operand and the result point to elements of the same array object,
or one past the last element of the array object, the evaluation shall not
produce an overflow; otherwise, the behavior is undefined. If the result points
one past the last element of the array object, it shall not be used as the
operand of a unary * operator that is evaluated.
> those regions are not marked out on the ground

There isn't anything in the article that suggests that the system does not have sectional charts in a database...

Once you know where you are in the world in VFR mode, it's a fairly simple affair (eg landmark detection) to register that positons on a sectional map, however invisible it may be in the real world.

> that will not be achieved by reverting to purely visual methods

Another extrapolation on your part: they never said "purely", did they?

The visual part of the system is nowhere listed as being the "only" way for the plane to know where it is.

It's very likely their system with gulp in whatever signal they can get their hands on (GPS, etc...) and integrate it into a final solution.

The final system will be much more robust than either of the existing components use on an airplane to "know where you are".
