> Nobody can serve everyone well.

I never claimed that anyone could. You are attacking a straw man.

You are completely ignoring the actual point I made, which is that Google is a business, and every business serves the needs of those who pay it money, and in Google's case that is not its users, it's advertisers. So serving user needs has to be a by-product.

> Why isn't the simpler, more charitable answer that they are just serving the majority of their large userbase, or whoever in that user base they care about?

Why isn't the simpler, more obvious answer the one I gave, that Google, like every business, serves its paying customers first, and users are not paying customers?

You seem to be going to extraordinary lengths to ignore this obvious fact.
Unfortunately most of the arguments against wearing masks are petty and bullshit given that the inconvenience of wearing one is insignificant for most people.

Sure, if you have genuine health concerns wearing one then don’t. But most of the people that moaned about it were really just moaning about being told what to do.

I had one mum in my kids school quoting the Magna Carta as a reason not to wear masks, which is simply ridiculous. And others claim that long term use of thermometers could be damaging to kids health, which completely misses the fact that such devices are entirely passive instruments.

That was the point I quit Facebook. I realised my time was too valuable to read so much stupid.

The theory in the US is of a separation of powers, and a devolution of powers from the Constitution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_powers_under_the...

The three branches of the US government are the Legislative, which creates law, the Executive, which enacts and enforces it, and the Judiciary, which judges it.

Their powers and limitations are in part set out in the US Constitution, though major doctrines, e.g., the US Supreme Court's power of judicial review, and the ability to declare statutory law unconstitutional, are established by precedent and practice (in this case, Marbury vs. Madison, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marbury_v._Madison).

In short:

- The President (head of the Executive Branch) can only act within the framework of laws passed by Congress. There is executive law, in the form of the Code of Federal Regulations, which is generally drafted by federal agencies, but it is secondary to the statutory law. https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/cfr/about.html The President also has power of appointments, pardons, and leading the armed forces, but not declaration of war.

- Congress passes legislation, statutory law, known as the United States Code, or USC. https://uscode.house.gov/ This is the principle power of Congress, though it also has the power to approve or deny appointments, and to hear impeachments, as well as to declare war and ratify treaties.

- The Judiciary as noted both hears cases and provides judicial review over law.

All three branches have their powers defined in the US Constitution and its amendments.

TL;DR: He cannot, the US presidency is powerful, but still limited. Laws passed by Congress must be either rescinded by Congress or invalidated by the Court. Though there is probably some creative executive action which might be possible, and ... could be interesting to contemplate.
Legitimate point. Don't be fooled. It's a lot of work to set up and modify. But it is fun if you like to tinker.

The job is "reduced hours," so assuming you work more on the other days to make up for it is quite cynical IMO. You can choose to not believe the listing, but the benefit is stated clearly, and it isn't any less informative than typical US SWE job listings where you should still look into the company's work life balance (they're all nominally 40 hours).
I don't work at Netflix. I'm not Netflix PR. The smile was meant in good spirit to acknowledge the hackiness of the solution. I don't see why this solution doesn't solve the problem. Creating a new profile is effectively the same as resetting your profile. It absolutely is a solution.

Same thing with Facebook or any other service. If you want to "reset" your Facebook profile, just create a new one.
>1. You still haven't answered why other more authorative sites such as ChemSpider also display ball-and-stick as per the later Wiki version. (If more than one authorative site does so then there must be some reason for it - for this common consistency.)

I do not owe you any answer, let alone why someone who is not me decides to represent anything in any form. Both versions (the original ball-and-stick model and the current skeletal structure) are valid, though one of them accounts for protolysis, and one doesn't.

>2. You have failed to realize the significance of being consistent in presentation especially when stuff is presented in encyclopedic form.

My point was not that the current version is or isn't consistent, my point was that it is WRONG.

>except for geniuses such as yourself of course

Next to you, I would appear that way. Go to the current version (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame#/media/File:Aspartam...) and count the hydrogen atoms. Then compare to the actual molecular formula of aspartame.

I'll accept an apology, but please stop being this obtuse.

these are "smart contracts", and it's written into the code. Finding these relatively simple bugs are like finding a loophole in a law. In this case, the researcher found a loophole and then used that loophole to pay his/her self ~98K ETH.

By some definition, a person who does anything besides swearing when a piece of software doesn't work as expected is already a power user.

I see this in many of my relatives. Googling the problem or checking the settings menu is something I do when asked to fix a technical problem in a piece of software I have never seen or used before and this more than they did before handing the problem to me.

> knew that a ton of debt was garbage

The GFC was not a crisis of credit or trash assets. It was one of liquidity and hidden interconnections. (In America.)

If you look at how those supposedly-toxic CDOs actually paid out, including the CDOs squared and synthetics and whatnot, the ones rated AAA, the ratings agencies were--by and large--on the money [1]. The AAA tranches paid out AAA cash streams.

The problem was market participants took this to mean they'd behave like other AAA assets in all capacities. Including liquidity. That was a bad assumption. When people are scared, they'll trade for Treasuries. Not the thing that by all reason should pay out like a Treasury, and in fact, with the benefit of hindsight, did.

To the extent there was high hooliganery afoot, it was around e.g. CDSs written by non-bank actors, e.g. AIG. Which was a result of the liquidity problem described above.

[1] There is an obvious asterisk here in the endogeneity of the bailouts and these assets' performance. But given the pattern holds across borders and industries, irrespective of bailout intensity, the hypothesis that tranching works carries more weight.

Both reasons seem pretty compelling. "Keeping your mouth shut" is such a fundamental rule of opsec that it's hard to take this persons skill/expertise seriously. Why put yourself in a place where you (and your family) have to look over their shoulder for the rest of your life.

Wish that were the case. When my CC was stolen I immediately reported the fraud to the bank (it was under 24 hours after the theft/skimming that I noticed the charge). The fraudster replied to the bank with a fake invoice showing my name, address, payment, and a UPS tracking number which went to my city (UPS will not tell 3rd parties what actual address a tracking number goes to, so they refused to tell the bank it wasn't actually to me). The e-mail address they said I used? It was something like Arrrrrrrrr343434@yahoo.com -- Literally they were taunting that they were a pirate. I imagined this process with bogus invoices from a fraudster would only delay things long enough for the fraudster to cash out, but that I would eventually be refunded, but oh how I was wrong.

I went through the formal process of reversing the charge, and was laughed at over the phone, and made to feel like I was defrauding the bank. The bank was openly hostile to me for suggesting someone had committed fraud with my account. (The item in question? Some religious dolls and expensive perfumes. I am an atheist man with no use for either.) They even had a formal panel where like a dozen people examined the facts. I got a letter from the bank telling me to go fuck myself and that my claims were false. I appealed and they sent me another letter to go fuck myself. Not long after that, the bank rebilled me for the money, closed my checking account, and then showed me another letter from e-Bay where some officer there meticulously, over something like 10 pages, documented that _I_ was the fraud and the fraudster was the real.

This has never happened to me with crypto, because a fraudster can't intercept my private key just by intercepting a transaction. My personal experience with banks is if you're a victim of fraud you'll get a lot of judgement from the bank, they may or may not accuse you yourself of fraud, and in the end they do anything to avoid reverting the charge. If you're lucky they'll just send you a letter telling you to fuck yourself and if you aren't lucky they may refer you to the police to be charged.
The non-decentralization of DeFi is something that along with using too much energy while being very slow at processing transactions, will be fixed in the future. Way, way into the future. This is a good thing, btw. It means there's still plenty of time for you to "get in".

My arch nemesis when it comes to sleep is obstructive sleep apnea. I have some soft tissue redundancies (long uvula and turbinate hypertrophy) as well as skeletal deficiencies (recessed jaw and narrow nasal cavity), and I had to have multiple surgeries in addition to PAP therapy to get reasonable (but not great) sleep. When I first started having unrefreshing sleep a couple of years ago, I tried everything under the sun when it comes to sleep hygiene (which helped a bit), but there comes a point when you really need medical interventions.

The right kind of user will be begging to throw money at you. Often they've hacked together their own solution at a high cost. They dry up quickly, but they're often out there.

For a personal blog, the number of languages is likely to be no more than two or three at most (putting aside any comments or other world-writable parts of the page). So it seems that one could easily trim the font files to only the needed characters, or even load them only for specific articles that need them.

The bigger issue would be a general forum where people can and do write in any known language. And not only would the site have to support the character sets, the admins would likely have no way of even knowing if the various characters were being displayed correctly let alone if the font had a good readability/seriousness in that script.

If you keep walking down that path you'll soon be labelled a crank by the old guard.

Developing a practical rather than a theoretical understanding of type theory rapidly makes you express intuitions which other people can't lex/parse.

Because you begin to think in functors/compositions e.g constructively; and as you've already pointed out many of those functors don't have corresponding English nomenclature in a classical setting.

Find some Category Theorists to talk to instead.
That's why I was commenting last week here that the antitrust lawsuit in US on monopoly is bogus.

Tiktok has come out of nowhere in the span of last few years to compete. FB doesn't have a market capture as the US lawmakers and Lina Khan accuse them of having.

Also, the same issues like disinformation etc which FB suffered from is going to be a problem for any social media platform, even Tiktok. Tiktok has far less infra and resources invested into stopping it, so it will be interesting to see if the target shifts on to Tiktok now.

According to Scott Alexander's review (https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/07/10/melatonin-much-more-th...), 0.3mg is the correct dosage for melatonin and higher doses might do more harm than good. I think you have accidentally replicated some of the melatonin research on yourself.

I personally wouldn't want to use melatonin all the time. Relying on a drug to keep my circadian rhythm going seems fragile and scary.
