Free will just cannot be described by physics. This is very similar to the perception of the time flow. Time in physics is static. There is no now. Surely one can plug any time value into physical equations, but that will not explain, for example, why when we look at a thrown ball, we perceive a movement, and not, say the whole trajectory of the ball at the same time.

And given that the free will and now are connected it is easy to see why we cannot describe the free will using physical equations. Well, at least until we will manage to describe now.
That can't possibly be true. There's something big missing from this story because you will never end up being taxed more than you earned. And the income shouldn't have been attributed to your dad since the money was being paid to you. And you certainly didn't earn anywhere near enough to meet the minimum amount needed to even pay tax at all.
Not really a need for big external drives any longer. Terabyte thumb drives are under $40 on Amazon and can be put on a hub or otherwise tucked away. SD card is a more expensive option but gets out of the way more effectively.
Exactly.

The sociology of this counter-narrative is super interesting though.

For whatever reason, we just don't want to take on power laws directly.

We live in this deluded world that power law distributions are something not "natural". Nature gives everything at a normal distribution. Obviously, that has nothing to do with nature. If anything it is the opposite.

Personally, I think this is the power of narrative and the way Francis Galton poisoned statistics that we haven't recovered from.
Increasingly we do. The military is very much embracing edge compute currently.
Nice saying.
Those are mostly examples of peacocking (displaying oneself ostentatiously), which has an evolutionary basis.
Slightly tangential: This is how I visualise how the behaviour of the QR algorithm varies over all possible PSD matrices: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_algorithm#Visualization

In this case, it's less important to understand the convoluted structure of some code, than to understand how a simple but opaque algorithm behaves in general.
I get your point, but how do you reconcile it with the fact that taxes and most social safety nets are on a progressive scale, with lower strata effectively paying less than what they use while upper strata pay more for said infrastructure?
Yes, there are trade offs with the US government's system of electing representatives within its government, trade offs the country seems to be willing to accept, given its lack of mobility on electing people who would make changes to that system.

And while it's true that, on the margins, the will of the people can be nudged one way or another, you still have to find a whole lot of people to vote for you in order to get elected, and those are your fellow countrymen who do believe those wars you mentioned made sense at the time (for example). You may call those people as many names (e.g. "immoral") as you like, they're still entitled to their votes, exactly as you are.

There is no "them", it's just "us". The divisive rhetoric you're employing is, in my opinion, more problematic than the voters themselves.
I am heavily involved in genealogy, practitioners of which have a huge interest in maintaining data, documents, photos, and other research for the next generations.

I have a copy of a handwritten family tree and other notes written by great-grandmothers, cousins, and great aunts, some of which survived close to 100 years. If they had computers back then, I doubt any of the data would be available now. The photo books I have shared with relatives contains copies of these letters and charts and family photos, and even if half of them are destroyed or lost in the next 50 years, the remainder will survive, hopefully for much longer.

It amazes me how much faith other genealogists have in cloud storage or paid services like Ancestry, owned for the past 10+ years by a series of profit-focused private equity firms. Policies change (for PE's benefit), subscriptions lapse, people delete accounts, or online services get shut down, as some Ancestry users discovered the hard way:

https://slate.com/technology/2015/04/myfamily-shuttered-ance...

Another problem with these services: Even though I can share a link to an online tree or a shared cloud folder, more than half of the recipients hate to deal with them because they are forced to learn a new UI or get prompted to death to sign up for a paid service they don't need. The other half eventually forget the links or the information that was in them. Paper or books is the only proven long-term storage medium for genealogy data.
Throwing something together based on unfamiliar components is indeed a bad move and likely to get you a bad reputation as a consultant. On the flip side, a permanent employee who wallows in analysis paralysis isn't adding any value to the company.

It all just depends on where the client culture fits on the "move fast and break things" spectrum.
In order to determine where you are you need to know where all of the satellites are. For a standalone receiver this involves downloading a almanac of the satellites from the signal, but GPS receivers have small antennas and the satellites don't blast out at tremendous power so the available bandwidth is very low. This means the effective bitrate of a GPS signal is only 50 bits per second so it takes twelve and a half minutes to transmit the entire list.

Cell phones get around this by downloading the almanac from the internet. Standalone receivers also keep the almanac in nonvolatile storage, but the almanacs eventually go stale if you leave the receiver off for too long.
>It does seem like an overreaction to me but there is a big difference in cell towers and satellite uplinks/downlinks

N.B. as far as I know, the portion of the C-band that's in question was allocated for satellite downlinks; uplinks were over 6GHz. With that in mind, there is indeed a Big Difference between a satellite in orbit radiating downwards, and a 5G beam forming installation on the ground potentially radiating upwards.

It's just about being kind to people, nobody9999. That's why I submitted my original comment for awareness; it was a request, not an instruction.

Given this, I can't say I understand why you're taken aback. I don't understand your sense of violation at a mere suggestion to show kindness, basically.

I'm not sure I'll ever understand either, and that's okay. I wish you the best.
It was an era of unprecedented wealth creation and upward mobility. There were also robber barons, who preyed upon government largess.

The irony here is that the Fed was created at the behest of one of the greatest robber barons of them all, John Pierpont Morgan. To this day the institution still protects the interests of Wall Street at the expense of holders of USD.

Corruption is still with us. If we are to be real as you say, we should also acknowledge that history is largely written by the victors. Not mentioned are the other two central banks the US fought to extricate itself from. It shouldn't be surprising at all that a two second glimpse of into the subject results in a superficial reading of history. I think the above poster mentioned something about nuance.

If the Federal Reserve Notes issued by the central bank were sufficient to meet our monetary needs, there would be no interest in cryptocurrencies.

Clearly, "Something is rotten in Denmark", or NW DC more accurately.
Developers are responsible for all card fees related to refunds, fraud, and scams. Some indie devs are seeing Steam cuts of 46% due to fraud purchases and refunds. The Steam store is also set up so that “the customer wins” so heavily that most devs are afraid of clawing back fraud keys (since they’re going to turn into negative reviews, or the key fraudsters get revenge by targeting their game more heavily).
Often they're not just finding the loopholes, they're making them.

> I rather be dissapointed of the new stuff than seeing the franchice dying. Maybe they make some cool spin-offs for the true fans, like Disney did to Star Wars.

That's how franchises die, in my opinion. They leave a bad taste in the mouth of existing fans, and repel new fans. They can only get by on previously generated inertia for so long. (Star Wars is an outlier here, I suspect.)

I'd much, much rather see new IP be created than a bunch of underfunded, financially-motivated people try to recreate magic they didn't create and don't understand in the first place.

What often happens is these franchises end up in a sort-of zombie-like state like the faux Dune novels being pumped out by those two hacks who I can't even bother to name anymore.

I'm confused. The HTML on a page should be automatically copyrighted to the author already. It's absolutely an expression of creative work just like a book, or software, or music.

That being said, it doesn't follow that it would make it illegal for any technology or any consumer to alter a website page appearance. You are free to modify copyrighted works as long as you don't distribute that work.
Intel needs money. Crypto has money. GPU makers snobs crypto, making things like LHR to protect their primary market from the secondary market (used GPUs) sales during a crypto downturn, while also trying to nickel-and-dime miners with barely interesting mining GPUs (because, crypto has money :)

So Intel sees that, realize they have the know how + existing technology and patents + fabs, and decides to bring it to the market.

If executed correctly, it has the potential to crush Bitmain.

Also, bringing US-made miners to the market will certainly lead to a change in perception about crypto: it won't be "that thing using chips made in Asia and coal" anymore, but "using made-in-the-US chips and clean power plus carbon offsetting credits"

I'm more concerned with being double-taxed for splitting bills, then seeing small businesses receive 1099s for payments received through one of these systems.

What bothers me is cases where people are taxed when being paid back for things like dinner out, or splitting a vacation rental. That income was already taxed. Using e.g. venmo to split the bill should not result in that money being double taxed as it changes hands.
> A lot of this anti-230 stuff feels like 4chan users angry that the general public doesn't like 4chan and are thus demanding that the government ban all of 4chan's competitors.

It doesn't just feel like it, Republicans passing state-level “lets try to work around 230” laws have had them enjoined on First Amendment grounds supported by their explicit statements of pretty much exactly the attitude you describe as the motivation for the laws.
> A pure psychological effect of course, even with the best ventilation people still had the urge to open a window and felt bad if they couldn't.

I wouldn't want to live in a house where I couldn't open the windows all the way. Near-perfect energy efficiency is something to strive for but there is something to be said for being able to open the window and get a nice breeze blowing through the house. Even if it isn't the most energy efficient it's okay with me.
Once romance via letters was invented (a century earlier), romance over newer media was inevitable. Not unlike Sears & Roebuck making retail-over-mail a huge thing, and then Amazon doing the same with retail-over-Internet. Though a lot of things that seem obvious in retrospect aren't in the moment.
The offense is that it’s not work-appropriate to discuss in those terms. The person who tells you in an interview that his favorite character is his favorite because she’s half naked and “jiggly” is one who’s going to discuss similar things on the job. Don’t be surprised when you hear this same candidate discussing Scarlett Johansson’s breasts at the office. Or worse, a co-worker’s breasts.
Let's talk about Christian theology from that perspective

Jesus spoke sternly several times about the hypocrisy and burden of those artificial rules. He pointed out how they would "strain a gnat and swallow a camel" (straining their drinking water to avoid unclean animals while enjoying camel steaks which were unclean) or meticulously paying tithe of their little herbs while taking bribes and corrupting their legal judgements or promising their possessions to God so they could avoid honoring and taking care of their parents.

He talked about how they made the Sabbath a burden and the day of rest was made for the good of mankind rather than mankind being made slave to their onerous Sabbath rituals (eg, you couldn't go more than a certain distance, but if you went out before Sabbath and laid out parcels of food, you could go the distance, then stop at your "house" for a meal and then continue on).

If Jesus was indeed the Creator and Son of God, then His establishing a ritual would be very different from an ordinary man creating a ritual.

Jesus fulfilled the ceremonial laws when He died (becoming the literal death the symbol that the lamb pointed toward). This applied to the rest of the ceremonial laws (though not the Ten Commandments else sin could not exist as it is defined as the breaking of those laws).

In effect, the many daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly ceremonial rituals were swept away. Their replacements were a single baptism when one decided to follow Him and an occasional ("as often as you do this") ritual of humility (foot washing) followed by a ritual to remind of His death (communion).

I don't think microsoft will be successful here.

First, the price they are paying is insane. The investors will be demanding the results eventually.

Also, buying studios won't fix the culture in Microsoft. They've had so many years and still can't make consistently good games. There are some gems in between but they are usually form partnerships or newly bought studios. Their in-house development seems like actual hell (Halo).

I also suspect that game pass will make them focus on GAS games (service games) with microtransactions, optimised for profit instead of fun.

We are a no-google/apple house. My photos come from various phones and two cameras. The phones all have the same Mega account on them and the photos get synced to "Phone 1", "Phone 2", "Phone 3" folders, and the whole Mega account syncs to a desktop.

The cameras have Wifi cards and sync to the desktop that syncs to Backblaze.

On new years day each year, the desktop gets archived to a external HDD and put in a safe.
You are correct. The anger over this isn't about any details. We know that these large corps are following the rules, just using loopholes and such to lower their tax burden. The anger is over the fact that it's clear the government needs money because of the spending, so rather than going after the big multi-billion dollar companies that should be paying way more in tax, they are instead going after the low hanging fruit.

The article explains the delay. The satellites transmit their ephemeris data and other important data very slowly, 50 bits per second, so you have to listen to the signals for a long time to get all of it. Not explained in the article is that modern GPS receivers in phones download this data separately from the internet, so they can calculate positions instantly without waiting for the data to finish transmitting.

Personally I'd recommend starting small with an Artruria Microbrute. It has one oscillator and no presets. Print some preset examples out from Brutal Patches and enter them on your own to learn. The manual that comes with has great synthesis explanations that aren't too complicated.

It has MIDI and a tiny patch bay. You can expand from there if you want. If you need a drum track, get yourself a Pocket Operator Rhythm and clock it from the Microbrute.

(Be careful, this is a gateway drug. I learned how to use a Microbrute and now I own 168hp of Eurorack modules, a 0-Coast, and an Arturia Matrixbrute.)

Even if it isn't the most energy efficient it's okay with me. I mean if we really wanted to get good energy efficiency we'd just remove all the windows completely. But we don't because we design building for the enjoyment of humans, not just for energy efficiency.

Do you really expect them to continue this practice if they own a dominant share of exclusive new games? With Minecraft they did the opposite: they made bedrock a windows exclusive, and required going through the MS storefront to access it.

I suspect this will fuel the continued use of cash and also help drive the adoption of crypto-currency in the real world (e.g. un-taxable income).
I do not know what the "spirit of it" means. Obtaining records from big companies facilitating money transfers does not mean tax liabilities have changed for anyone. If big companies are getting away with not paying their fair share, then laws should be changed prevent them from doing that. But they can simultaneously happen.

However, most examples given of supposedly nefarious tax avoidance I see are simply businesses that plow a ton of money back into expanding the business, hence bringing their tax liability way down, exactly as the law intended. Amazon being the prototypical example.

Or even better, is the complaining of billionaire's having low income tax...when they have low incomes. The better use of time and energy would be to propose additional property (wealth) taxes.
