There is a distinction here; actions are not by themselves virtuous. Two people can seem to have the same actions/habit but only one of them does it from the heart. Getting back to the quote from Durant; just because you ace the test or have your peers eating from your hand, does not mean you have acheived excellence.

What Aristotle talks about in Ethics is not only a habit or actions but also what drives that.

> Toshiba Corp. said Friday that a subsidiary booked fictitious sales of ¥43.5 billion in 26 transactions recorded only on paper. The scandal may again throw Toshiba into a crisis similar to its massive accounting fraud in 2015... In the troubled conglomerate’s 2015 accounting fraud, Toshiba padded profits by more than ¥200 billion.

It is the society you are familiar with, it's just everyone treats it as normal and what are the limits of possibility so you are probably blind to it.

Some relatively extreme examples:

1. There isn't a cop / security person in every corner, to really prevent murder and robberies. After a certain point, society decided it wasn't worth the cost to prevent murder in this expensive way. You should dig into what the murder / robbery solving rate is in your own home, you might be surprised!

2. Cars kill a lot of people, all the time. We would save lives if the speed limit was reduced to 10kmh. But that makes cars not very useful. Our cars are not volvo tanks and miss a lot of safety testing that volvo does and goes above and beyond, partly because of cost.

3. We don't put highway style concrete barriers around every road boundary to prevent human death.

4. The success rate of medicine to save lives and prevent disability is accepted to be not perfect and socialized medical systems do not spend unlimited money to save X amount more of people.

5. Obesity is probably the largest killer and life reducer of humanity in the USA today, yet there isn't anywhere near a proportional response by US society to fix this like there was with COVID, smoking or 9/11.

6. I don't know if your american, but the entire insulin price jacking controversy kills people constantly today in america. That society has basically said the rich pharma companies rather make more money and kill people who cannot afford this insulin vs. save lives.

All of these things are way worse the 5 9s of reliability that are algorithmic moderation systems, but we accept the tradeoff because sometimes, the cost is worst than the cure. And sometimes, for way worse and gross reasons, like the american insulin example
Something about this story is just so amazing to me. This is the kind of thing I always dreamed the internet would enable for people. So cool.
Corporations would like to increase prices and profits at all times. They don't need "excuses". If people are willing to pay more, they'll charge more. Why are people willing to pay more? I don't know, maybe they have more money [1]?

Mine is a humble little personal finance app called GreenBooks (https://greenbooks.app). For the last few months, my proceeds from the App Store is ~$500. That is after Apple's 15% cut. Not bad for a side project.
I tried pulling my TheWorkNumber report, and I was surprised to see my weekly salary history not only at my current and prior BigCo jobs, but also at my prior small (~100 employees) company. Apparently they used ADP for payroll and that was enough to get into the Work Number database. I’m not sure I HireRight always cross references with databases like TheWorkNumber, but it would be trivial for them to do so.
Their explanation sounds pretty plausible, even if they're using it to cover up the actual intent. Hopefully get get rid of this stupid idea once and for all.

BMW did something similar recently. A few years ago, they announced a plan to make Apple CarPlay a subscription service, then walked it back. And now it sounds like they've made plans for similar options (like heated seats) to be a subscription service.[1]

Not like I have any room to talk, I suppose, since I paid for an OTA feature on my Tesla (basic Autopilot, when it was cheap for 1 week), and at least in theory, the "premium connectivity" is a subscription service, even though it's "lifetime" on my car. (Whether or not it's lifetime when I sell the car to someone else is anybody's guess). And heated seats and homelink are standard on my car, but optional on others -- I wouldn't be surprised if heated seats were installed in all cars but just turned on in software. On the flipside, I was actually shocked to learn the non-homelink cars are, in fact, missing parts. It's actually somehow satisfying when an option you don't pay for is not physically installed, and therefore saved the automaker money. I'm not sure why, I guess I just like the feeling that it's not merely a software flag that you're paying for, or not.

I'm really not a fan of using the generally unsupported aspects of the file formats. Like sure, png supports alternate compression schemes which in combination with the fully generic datablocks system which I think technically accidentally makes it Turing complete. But its not like any reader ever supports it fully, hell most readers dont support showing the other images in a png file. Its also quite common that palettes aren't properly supported, in particular for uncommon combination. Palettes themselves are also not truly sufficient for what they are supposed to do, as that would require generic scalar to scalar functions. Its like this with every damned old image format. People try to make the format to end all formats and end up accidentally inventing really shitty programming languages with terrible separation of concerns which are terribly supported but work as people only ever use them for single image data.

Another stranger mistake is the use of generic compression a part of the format, its much better to leave that up to the filesystem or stream. I dont really understand why this was ever a good idea, but it certainly hasn't been one for decades.

The more recent blob formats people have developed aren't much better, they still confuse the specification of a single blob with the specification of the container format, and try to be convenient and fully generic at once. If people actually wanted a fully generic dataformat and accepted that this requires a programming language, just let that be python, instead of inventing some shitty new one...
I'm sorry to say you're seeing the future in tea leaves, but I guess you're learning some stuff along the way.
criminalizing based on impairment is fine but criminalizing based on 'bad results' is what is sometimes called 'moral luck' philosophy and dubious because it attributes punishment based not on intent but on factors beyond one's control.

If two people throw a stone at your head and one misses because he happens to be a bad thrower few people would argue that this matters rather than the intent to harm.
Looking at its inner working seems it's uses SQLite as storing. While a few hundred entries in any SQLite DB should be a breeze to parse and show under a second, maybe the person(s) involved in this project are not that DB proficient and made some rookie mistakes.

Pretty typical $0.1/kWH (on average, there are peaks and valleys like everywhere else). A lot of folks overestimate the actual power cost. Sure I’m pulling about 24A at 240V from the wall (over 6 kW) which costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $320/month. But the actual BTC I receive is worth over $3000/month assuming I sell it as I get it.

What’s super nice about mining is that it’s quite resilient to market trends. For example if crypto crashes 50% the number of transactions on the blockchain skyrockets (everyone either buying the dip or panic selling) which results in more cryptocurrency actually received from mining. The value of the coin can go down, but I get more of it.

As a passive revenue stream it’s actually quite beautiful. Just don’t forget to pay taxes!

It's in some ways, depending on how you look at it, it's even more extreme than Marx - at least Marx wanted to give everyone meaningful work. Even if the anti-workers get what they want, computers and robots doing everything, how are we getting there, and how do we find meaning in this post-work state? I would certainly not find meaning in watching entertainment 16 hours a day, but not even non-stop travel, hiking, leisurely conversations with our fellow liberated people (the stuff I like doing after work) could fill my void. I don't think it's stockholm syndrome to desire to fill all of our lives with some meaningful work and contribute to a society that loves you back! At least they point out the flaws of dog-eat-dog structured life, but the means to, the end-goal of, and the easiest society to pivot into that makes human life function certainly ought to be through meaningful, mutually value-adding work.

Here is the ideological conditioning coming into play. You have been conditioned to believing that it is impossible for the Chinese to do things better than the West. If they do, they must be cheating/stealing IP/fudging the numbers.
You are right, my friend, the guy that is replying your comments is taking the lower bound of the L4 and comparing with the upper bound of L5. Lol. How it works , at least at Google (and is worst at Amazon), is when you get promoted from Ln to Ln+1 , your salary increases just it surpasses the lower bound of the level you were promoted to. I know for a fact of people at Google, L4 that negotiated better TC than what my L5 has. So, but if my L5 jumps ship to Facebook, then he will be easily get a 30% increase, at least.
Companies do precisely what capitalism gives them incentives to do. "Grift" is not a meaningful concept. A company can and will do anything the people managing it believe they can get away with that will increase their bottom line, yet, somehow, this behavior becomes unacceptable when it's a lowly worker doing it?

I don't know if I can even call it a side-project any more. I stopped working professionally 3 years ago.

Bought an e-commerce business that was making ~$2k/mo profit and ran it on the side while I had my DevOps job.

That project has now turned into ~$30k/mo profit, and I've bought two more e-com businesses that average ~$10k/mo between the two - these are early and I expect them to scale up once I smooth out a few bumps.

I go through phases of a lot of work, and next to no work. Depends if I'm busy on growing the businesses or just want to enjoy the income. I'm out of 95% of the day-to-day operations and I have a team of 3 that handle most things.
Well, okay. If I can do the job, and I am doing the job adequately relative to the compensation offered, why do I need to deserve your job?
Many of these large companies dont believe the claims of human rights violations in Xinjiang because the research is shoddy and funded by problematic orgs that have massive ulterior motives (mostly winning large defense contracts) .

They're born out of passion, they are wasteful, often mis-designed, and hilarious fun to build. At the end you have a bulky retro kiosk to remember 30 years ago.

The huge letdown is when no one wants to be Player Two. The nostalgia high isn't from the cabinet or joystick or rom or screen, it's from two people with incredible enthusiasm to share an ephemeral context of Ryu-vs-Ken together.

8,000 bucks of home entertainment system can dim the lights, drop the curtains, and play matrix 4, but give me a 15 inch TV, Mario Kart, some milk crates to sit on, and some kid bent on destroying me in battle mode. I'll remember one of these in another 30 years.

On the other hand, I'm definitely noticing how much I rely on nostalgia to feel happy. That is its own topic.
yes, and I think NFTs and copyright are very similar but anyone can buy an NFT very easily - you just pay for it.

To get copyright protection on something you may need to hire a lawyer, file some papers etc.

Maybe NFTs are more similar to a combination of letters of authenticity and a deed when you buy a painting or something at auction stating that the thing you have is real and that you are the owner.

> The first sentence is simply untrue.

How is it untrue? I'll quote it in its entirety.

> For too long, ownership of Olive Garden franchises has been dominated by the capricious whims of the fiat system.

"For too long, ownership of X has been dominated by Y" is a typical sentence used in advertisements that go on to promise "Now, you too can own X" – so it's reasonable to think that the same is the implication in this case too, especially if your continuing sentence is "That’s why we’re enabling anyone to blah blah blah representing 1 of 880 real Olive Garden franchises in the United States."

Edit: after a bit more conversation and reading the page carefully, they are actually promising some ownership, but in a "Roadmap" as a sneaky way out:

> Use project funds to complete leveraged buyout of Darden Restaurants, Olive Garden's parent company. Upon successful completion, all NFOG franchise owners will now own real Olive Garden franchises.

I always assume that these kinds of automatic censoring are largely based off user reporting. Arresting the mayor of San Fransisco for the robbery in Miami makes sense if hundreds of people called the police to report the mayor was the culprit. It's likely a bad arrest, but it's worth at least figuring out why so many people are reporting him.

Unfortunately that allows bad actors to game the system, but not quickly responding to reports allows the truly heinous content to remain on the site for longer.

I would personally aim for non-LHR cards like the founders edition 3080 which is hard to find these days, or any 3090. At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter what cards you buy, what matters is your ROI. For example at MSRP a 3090 can pay for itself in six months (or whatever it works out to these days) but at scalper prices that ROI time is more like a year. In the world of ASIC mining a year ROI is actually not bad at all because the big industrial ASICs can last 5-10 years. Then you have helium miners (HNT) that can ROI in 3-4 months. It’s all about the ROI.
