It's kind of weird that you hold up unions as an example of a group who would go to war if their economic interests are threatened, yet they have not just been threatened they have had a scythe taken to them since the 1970s and yet here we are. No war.

But you think that the fascists should have money thrown at them because they're more violent than the rest of us?

I don't believe an LVT should be ramped from 0% to 100% immediately. Would boiling the frog be more effective and safer? Certainly.

If a far right terrorist movement were to emerge as a result of a policy like this, should it be appeased? You may very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.

>The damage from the Civil War is still not fully repaired.

After the civil war America rebuilt itself into the world's richest and most powerful country. Some people would count that as "doing ok".

It could have very easily turned itself into yet another bloated oligarchy like Argentina rather than growing into the world's most powerful industrial superpower if existing economic relations were deliberately maintained.
The first one looks better in my opinion.
But isn’t a lot of the bad infrastructure and urban sprawl a consequence of those very decisions? Perhaps a more considered approach would have worked better in the long term. For instance, in Amsterdam, local people fought back against plans to put highways through the city which has resulted in a much more pleasant urban environment.
It would be also very useful to know how "deep" you are into a comment thread.
Who knows, right? As the Nature article you cited points out, the research we have now is poorly controlled and hopelessly confounded and pointing in many different directions.

My personal belief is that COVID-19 and influenza are probably similar in children. But even that is more risk than people generally realize: a whole lot of permanent impact happens from influenza in children, but we just accept it and shrug it off as inevitable.

And, of course, while the average risk to kids may be moderate, there's also the much higher risk of cases communicated by children to their family, faculty, and the community at large.
With the minor detail that the US government can't afford to service it's debt at those rates anymore.

How do you think banks fund loans? They use customer deposits and operate as a fractional reserve.

If the large banks have liquidity problems, it means they’re no longer able to give people their deposits back as cash. They simply don’t have the money to give to depositors. In this scenario government steps to cover the shortfall, but there’s a limit to how much the government can cover, so many people, in particular business, will simply take involuntary haircuts to their bank balances.

In this situation people start taking their money of banks, because trust has been destroyed, causing a bank run. Which makes the situation even worse, because then any bank that lends will have a liquidity crisis, because they operate as a fractional reserve.

In the end the government ends up effectively bailing out the banks anyway, by covering peoples deposits. Except now most banks have collapsed completely, taking huge amounts of financial infrastructure with them, plus the people needed to administrate and operate financial aspect of the economy, and nobody trusts the banks that managed to survive (assuming any did).

So worst case is bad, really bad. A cascading failure of banks means you wake up one morning and money that isn’t under your mattress has disappeared. You cash accounts, your savings accounts, your investment accounts. In addition you’ll have a line of people demanding you repay any loans you have, your car lease, your mortgage, your credit cards etc.

Banks considered “to-big-to-fail” have that label because their collapse has a significant risk of causing a cascading failure of banks across the entire economy. So bailing them out is much cheaper and safer to do, but allowing them to continue existing is just negligent.
Is it my fault that I'm lazy?
It would also make future moral hazards increasingly likely (i.e. encouraging others to take wild risks in the future since they might get bailed out).

I wouldn't consider someone a mathematician unless they were a researcher. Otherwise what does a mathematician do? Many people have undergraduate or advanced degrees in math, but most of them don't "do math" for a living (i.e. research).
The proximity of that number to the cost of the recent infrastructure package has me thinking. Normally we consider printing money to be deflationary to the US economy. But in a global situation like this, if the US prints a dollar for every one that China owns, does that devalue China’s dollar holdings? How does that impact their leverage in negotiating with the US for payback of its (dollar-denominated) debt?

OC'ing ECC is generally a terrible idea, if that's what you're doing. Also, no one on Ryzen is considering CAS CL22 timings "good" on DDR4-3200 sticks. I think you need to go do research on non-ECC RAM. It really feels like everyone on this thread is so far outside the normal PC market for RAM that they are talking out of their ass here.
Oh, I dunno. From a quick google there are about half a billion registered domain names. Assume an average length of 20 bytes and that's just 10 gigabytes. An ETH address is also 20 bytes, so 20 GB total. Blockchains are already bigger than that.

There are about 15 million new registrations per year, which is only one every two seconds. That's also easily within today's capabilities.

Throw in rollups and data sharding, and names barely make an impact at all.
Hey folks,

We launched Chatwoot a couple of months back in HN and was well received by the community.

### What is Chatwoot?

Chatwoot is an open-source, self-hosted customer engagement suite, built as an alternative to Intercom and Zendesk. With Chatwoot, you can view and manage your customer data, communicate with them irrespective of which medium they use, and re-engage them based on their profile.

### What's new?

Today we are excited to make 3 major announcements:

1. 2.0 version

2.0 version ships with an updated dashboard that is completely redesigned for a better user experience. This update ships with many new features, including more communication channels, productivity enhancements, better conversations visibility, re-engagement options, etc.

2. Enterprise edition

We will include the features such as customisable dashboards, SLA Management, Agent scheduling software, IP blocklisting etc., suited for large organizations in the Enterprise Edition software. In contrast, Small and medium businesses would continue to use the Community edition. We are making the license update in the repository to include a dual licensing option.

3. Contributor Hall of Fame

The community has been core to our success so far. It is rewarding to see people from different countries and cultures come together for a common goal. Our product supports more than 30 languages right now, and all of it was contributed by the community. We want to honor and extend our gratitude to the people who have put the effort in helping us to make this software better every day. We would be publishing the contributor hall of fame.

Looking forward for your thoughts and feedback :)
Payments in yet another currency is not useful. Apple letting you send payments in iMessage makes sense, MobileCoin in signal absolutely does not. What do you do with them once you have MobileCoins? You have to exchange them, potentially at some wildly varying exchange rate, rather than what Apple is offering which is just USD. Apple's solution not something I would use but it makes some sense given the relative difficulty of sending personal amounts of USD in the United States.

If you just wanted to send cryptocurrency, great, you use your normal method of doing it, making it something built into a chat client is at best nonsensical. It didn't need its own cryptocurrency offering, that part is just a cash grab that taints Signals mission.
Typing Effect with Typed.js
I'm confused by this response. Are you trying to argue against me here? It seems like you are, but you're talking about a bunch of unrelated things to my statement (which I agree with you on).

The initial fraud happened at the level of people lying on mortgage applications.

I'm not suggesting there weren't all sorts of failures of regulators and credit rating agencies, nor that many of the financial institutions involved in trading these assets weren't complicit in perpetuating the fraud. I'm just pointing out that "bailing out" a person who committed fraud when taking out a loan isn't a good thing for society to do. I'm not trying to let anyone else off the hook for their roles in the systemic problem.

I thought the point of Signal was not go follow every dark pattern of the other apps looking to monetize their userbase. Zuckerberg thinking it's a good idea doesn't help Signal here, because Signal has a different mission than Zuckerberg.
Hats off to the Free Law Project for championing this. Success is possible.

some times you can disable all actions after install - for example location, etc.
F-droid is your primary source for apks. they have everything you need, with very good filters and warnings about privacy and other options of their apps.
If you need some apk available on that is on Google only, then there are a few other sites, that package them and seem to work quite well.
They look sketchy, they promote other apps, but I haven't had any issues using them in over 5 years. just click carefully.
for example apkpure.
You can get things like Signal, mapy. cz, Wyze and so on, better yet, sometimes older versions.
In a few apps, while running, you have to ignore the message that you need Google for this app to work. I haven't had one that actually needed it. even Google photos.

Anecdotal counterargument: I am a visual learner. For almost all topics I learn about, watching a video is by far the most effective, fastest, and most impactful way for me to grasp and remember new concepts. A very large part of my education in math, science, machine learning, music theory, filmmaking, screenwriting, visual effects, history, and chemistry was video lectures/essays/content.

I agree that the famous "three/four types of learners, everyone belongs to one of them" factoid isn't true, but disagree that "No one is a 'visual learner.'" I am a visual learner.

I'm not OK with this. You're cheating, and encouraging others to do so because OpenTable lacks the savvy to prevent it. You can say, "Not my fault, OpenTable has no security," but that's just crass IMHO. Sure, you're using it for one reservation, but what's to prevent bots from hoarding and reselling? It's like the toilet paper hoarders of 2020. Or the stock-traders who kept buying property closer to the NYSE to trade faster (and were ultimately given server space on the floor). I hope OpenTable defeats this.
The intelligence agencies exist to advance some view of what our civilization should be.

If you are not an anarchist or some other form of misguided extremist, then you probably agree with the goal or intentions of the state's IC apparratus even if you find a given mission or action of the IC to be strange when looked at and analyzed out of context.

What I mean to say here is that there is a grand strategy at play, but you may, in your lives and in your careers, encounter a single out-of-context action of such agencies and you will be left feeling their actions were odd, but your feelings on the matter are a result of lacking context and that context is, unfortunately, only disclosed on a need-to-know basis.

So, to those not involved in a goven operation, yes, the agencies will seem to be distorting reality all of the time... Use your brain and ask yourself the motive -- there is definitely a context in all scenarios that explains things pretty well and your elected leaders have signed off on that context after hearing the sales pitch of some analyst turned manager in the agency.

TL;DR have faith in the actions of our nation's clandestine services. They are working to our benefit and their lives are on the line.
Giving the article contenteditable=true is certainly...a choice, especially because that makes the links unclickable.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I can see how that drives popularity, and yes now that I think about it the consistency of your efforts are what made me become aware of your theme also, so congrats on keeping at it and achieving what you have achieved :)

I have actually tried to like the theme at some point, just because the appeal of having similar color schemes in multiple environments was there, but many times noticed the color theme is just not for me. So I can understand also the psychological effect having this kind of branding and the social effect that can have also.

Thanks for sharing your insight, being a startup founder I can relate to many of these points.
I hardly discount independent study. I'm self-taught across a wide range of subjects.

Curiosity varies, and all the areas where it's applied are not of equal value. Some kids would far rather learn everything there is to learn about Minecraft and mindlessly play it instead of developing literacy skills. Having schooling establishes a baseline: we try and bring up every student to some fundamental level of competence in each subject.
Perhaps it's a little of both? But my takeaway from this scene was also more on the side of "this is how they did it: relentless hard work."

...but plenty of people put in the work and never come up with anything close to what the Beatles could. Including, it's worth considering, any of the fab 4 in their solo careers. Sure, there were a few hits. But nothing comparable to the insane productivity from when they were a band.

So it looks to me like the formula is: hard work + talent + band chemistry = hit making machine. And only the hard work portion of that is within anyone's control.
Whistleblowing is an essential theme of this article; by stripping it out of my rhetoric, we go spinning off into a generic tangent. While there are broader themes at work here as with anywhere, we're more likely to have an edifying discussion if we focus on the particulars: whistleblowing, the VA, mental health, and what Ian Fishback's case reveals about them.
I think that if we ignore the opinion of everyone who has been educated in American public schools for the past two decades and start fresh, we may have some hope in America.

We are a capitalist nation economy. Efforts to change this has been accelerated in the past two decades and the poisoning of public schools has weakened the most important demographic of our generation. The youth.

Those who have been educated from 2005-present in American public schools are the greatest threat to America. We are fine. Just stop outsourcing child rearing to school unions and America will be awesome again.

The lack of newsmedia and any real world current affairs knowledge and because Americans are the least travelled nation in the world has made it easy to gaslight the rest of the population.

I would like us to survive this temporary insanity that is already a decade too long and go back to being America again.
and "worked"
Great extension. Thank you for recommending.
Apparently so. How that works as a matter of law escapes me.

Had you told me in the 1980s that anonymous individuals would create thousands of new currencies backed for the most part by nothing at all, with the stated intent of evading all government regulation (what I would have called "crime" back then), and that the regulatory agencies would simply pretend it didn't exist, I would have laughed.

24 years old here, I think videos are great for an overview of a topic, but that's it. Most of the time when I'm relatively comfortable with a subject I want either an "how to" or a "reference", and for these I think written content is way better.

> For me video talking about code is slow, unsearchable, unskimmable. I cannot easily go back to more difficult parts and reread (watch) them at my own pace. I cannot use them as a quick reference. Even my photographic memory doesn't work with videos, there's just something more powerful with black on white words and formulas.

You also can't copy/paste code, and if your vision isn't perfect/the code isn't zoomed enough, you have to use a whole screen for the video.
Sentiment Analysis Models and Gender-Race Bias
:D I tend to forget that one, as I'm spoiled by my students to have an already-curious group with the assumption that something interesting is going to happen when they first come into my room. (Maybe not the thing they'd most prefer to do, but at least something interesting).
What have I polarized? If one group is openly for more police regulation and one is not, then its already politicized. Calling for less polarization does not fix this? Your point is very much a strawman.
Could you give an example or two of something concrete that you don't think is sufficiently addressed by today's operating systems?

In my day job I do data engineering, and I'm a long-time linux user. Multimedia stuff aside, I think it's been 8 years since last time I felt limited by the operating system.

Granted, I don't do anything particularly low-level. But as a high-level "consumer", I experience the main issues with today's operating systems not to be technical capabilities, but rather user friendliness, flexibility, and standardised APIs.

But I'm curious what the issues are from a lower-level point of view!
Oooph. That's a bit larger than I was expecting. But good, this stuff probably needs more discussion.

So I think the best way to understand logic-programming, is that a particular class of logic is chosen as the baseline. In the case of Prolog, "horn clause" logic is your baseline, and all of your "code" is a glorified horn clause.

The system then explores the horn-clause space, and this depth-first-search is happening behind the scenes by the compiler / runtime system. It combines clauses together (the "database") to find knowledge, and reports back solutions.

---------

Although horn clauses are limited, they're also relatively simple to search. So its a good location for a programming language to use as a baseline. You can search higher-orders of logic by thinking about the depth-first-search and building out new knowledge automatically (ie: writing more and more Prolog code).

---------

I feel like the idea of search is easily parallelized. Depth-first-search not so much so, but almost all searches can be conducted in both depth-first manner (sequentially) and breadth-first manner (parallel). A combination of depth + breadth would generalize into a large number of cores, such as GPUs or supercomputers.
Simple fix. Community gardens are tax-free. A big reason why much of America is covered with mostly empty asphalt parking lots is because is costs very little in land taxes.
So far I'm not convinced there is other than the one manufactured in the media. Far left attempts at revamping police have largely failed from what I have seen (ex. Minneapolis, which is a rather left leaning city). But I'd love to see actual evidence to the contrary. As in cases where police defunding/change has actually been voted in/implemented in the U.S.
You're saying that an article about "Mathematicians Transcend Geometric Theory of Motion" should also be about "the negative effects of a career in mathematics"?
