Looks like you will also need to get a Series 63 from the local state securities regulator as well, which requires sponsorship. From the NASAA FAQ:

>>If I pass a Series 65 examination, is that all I need to do to qualify as an accredited investor?:

No. The SEC’s August 26, 2020 order allows persons who hold an “Investment Adviser Representative license (Series 65) … in good standing” to qualify as accredited investors. The SEC explained in its Small Entity Compliance Guide for Amendments to the Accredited Investor Definition that “a person seeking accredited investor status by passing the Series 65 exam would also need to be licensed as an investment adviser representative in her state and would need to comply with all state-specific licensing requirements (e.g., paying dues, etc.).”

In order to become a licensed investment adviser representative, a person must first apply through the investment adviser firm with which the individual is affiliated for registration with a state securities regulator. Please check with your state securities regulator for specific requirements. [1]

Wow, yeah.

That's horrible.
I have a nasty addiction to Reddit's r/publicfreakout. A few years back, it was mostly people getting angry and making fools of themselves in public. Then, it turned into street fights. In 2020 it was more fresh than broadcast news for BLM protests. Nowadays, it's back to street fights and car crashes, but when there is an international flare up, it's like a livestream. For me, it almost functions as a tripwire for huge international news.

I imagine Twitch and other actual livestreams are insane right about now. (I dunno, I am not into it, or TikTok.)

This map appears to be in the Chernobyl region, and shows that some of the sensors have detected spikes in gamma radiation, but not all. The biggest spikes appear to be on sensors near the famed reactor meltdown site, showing increases from 3000 nSv/h to 65500 nSv/h. In one day, you will now collect 65500 * 24 = 157200 nSv (so about 150 micro sieverts). In one year, this would be almost 0.5 full sieverts.

Based on the classic XKCD radiation chart[1], one day of exposure here isn't likely to do much to a person, but over the course of a year it wouldn't be great.

Hopefully these sensors are just misbehaving due to electromagnetic interference, and there's no alpha/beta radiation being emitted. (The linked page doesn't seem to have any non-gamma sensors available.)

Ultimately, this is going to backfire. Hard.

China and Russia are already working on a SWIFT replacement. All they need to do is not try and use their banks as weapons -- which they don't need to for obvious reasons -- and they're immediately in-line to replace US-centric banking.

"Debanking" in any form is a short-term play with long-term consequences. Were I running a government, I'd be wondering when the US is going to decide that we need a more "democratic" regime, and taking steps to enhance my country's fiscal autonomy as much as possible.

Belt-and-road is going strong in both Africa and South America. Nobody really trusts China as a partner at this time, but the Party[1] in the US has done a great job of convincing the world that Washington is less reliable than Beijing.

Japan bombed Pearl Harbor because of US sanctions on oil in 1941 - Japan attacked the U.S. just 5 months later as they needed the oil to fuel their war machine in China.
I think the question is how does that escalate. If Putin is just taunting NATO with a few tanks crossing the border, and artillery takes out the tanks, that might be the end of it. But at want point does a broader escalation turn into a total war ... which bring in the nukes?

I genuinely hated using CSS each time I tried prior to ~2015. The point where that started changing for me was the introduction of Flexbox; the previously available layout models seemed to have no real coherence or logic behind them, depended on the memorization of disconnected tricks.

Even with Flexbox it's taken a number of years using CSS regularly to get to a point where I've now previously encountered most things I need to do which aren't straightforward derivations from the basic rules of behavior (e.g. even something simple like getting absolute positioning relative to immediate parent to work, or how to make arbitrary elements scrollable/non, or how to auto-truncate text with an ellipsis).

But at this point, it feels awesomely powerful. I've been awed in recent history at how rapidly I can create even novel/complex UI's; the experience is partly of hitting green lights over and over, improbably (which says something about the less fun stages I had to go through prior). But it's not just that; coming from working with desktop and mobile finite widget set GUI toolkits, the expressiveness via CSS is extensive by comparison (and, separately, the one-way-dataflow/functional-reactive style of development common in modern web dev feels excellent for connecting components to backing models).

It's also just quite a bit of fun. Combine the wide-ranging expressiveness with rapid-feedback workflows like editing from browser dev tools (or with HMR and live-updating through webpack)—writing CSS and watching sleek, novel UIs come together can be pretty enjoyable these days.

Could a better system be designed so that I wouldn't have had to go through the long journey I did, while still ending with something highly expressive and great for experts to use? I often wonder but haven't been able to think of an alternate design that would be a fundamental improvement.

Makes You Think
Goodness, it's enlightening to be told what I mean. Yes you've consistently avoided answering the question with which I started this thread: are elections better than violent coups?

One guess how I'm inclined to take that...

The vast majority of Ukrainians are not responsible for their misfortunes over the last decade. Certainly they have my sympathy. Violent coups usually harm the societies in which they occur, so the tiny minority of Ukrainians who took part in that coup have harmed their nation and their fellow Ukrainians. That harm has taken the form of a Russian invasion, but if it had happened somewhere else at some other time (e.g. Iran, in 1953) the harm would have come anyway.

Eventually, if we survive long enough, humans will learn to organize (and re-organize!) ourselves without large-scale violence. Some had imagined that democracy might be a part of that, but few today seem to agree.
Doesn’t mean they aren’t still your team lead though!

Yes the concrete expression of the isomorphism would be as a mapping between the labels.

Given that the paper linked to is by Brendan McKay et al, it seems reasonable to mention that nAUTy works by finding (efficiently) all permutations of the labellings that result in an automorphism of the graph.

I cant see anything crazy happening here on the official European Commision Radioactivity Environmental Monitoring website. A radiation monitor nearby in Belarus recorded a small spike to 470 nSv/h at last reading, but this is nothing really.

The right move is to leave such complexity to ppl who want to die and move elsewhere. I'd pick Israel or China.

I shall instruct my octopodal mates to avoid hot baths and go for the incineration option instead.

This is a tricky one. Where do you draw the line as an omnivore?
First of all, I suppose I need to say that I'm European, living in a country with a very tiny military force. I understand why Germany, in particular, does not want to be a strong military power anymore.

Britain and France seem less reluctant, probably taking some pride from standing up to Hitler in 1939, and this contributing to them seeing their armed forces primarily as defensive instruments. (Disregarding their long histories as colonial powers.)

Germany's latest experience with a large army was from a time it was used offensively, with catastrophic results for Germany. Nobody argues that Germany should build up that kind of force again.

But if peaceful countries are not able to protect themselves and each other from expansionist aggressors, seeing to annex territory, the world will most likely revert to something we've not really seen since the 19th century, just this time with nukes.

And with internal strife and polarization seeming to mostly pacify the US's ability to provide protection, combined with an increasingly powerful China flexing in East Asia, Europe may have to take some of the responsibility for maintaining the strength needed to guarantee peace.
First, it's the West and its media that are clamoring for war, while Russia has no intention of invading.

Now that Russia has invaded, the problem is that the media has a simplistic narrative of good guys and bad guys.

Striking how much Russian propaganda has made its way onto HN.
> "For now aquaculture is the only available option."

Wrong.

I've stopped eating octopus. Of course, we can't stop eating every animal, even many that obviously feel distress and emotions, but we really need to draw a line on reducing and making sure that we raise or naturally hunt animals in a humane as possible way. Octopus is one I've taken a line on. Others still weigh on me.

"Aquaculture" is being billed as the solution to ocean food and even as "green" and "sustainable", but it's going to be just like or worse than the Green Revolution, which continues to strip land of diversity and nutrients.

Humans are hell bent on destroying this planet. Why do humans have a complete lack of an ability to say "stop, we're not going to do this anymore". Instead, we somehow view continuous growth and consumption as the only available option. It makes no sense.
That was an "invasion" by anti-Castro Cubans backed by the US government, but can't hardly be considered an US invasion.
> Last year, researchers at the London School of Economics concluded from a review of 300 scientific studies that octopus were sentient beings capable of experiencing distress and happiness, and that high-welfare farming would be impossible.

I don't understand how someone can decide to ignore that in an effort to make money. I fear that if we don't more quickly move the Overton window on the suffering of sentient creatures, we may suddenly find ourselves with synthetic sentient life devoid of protection under the law.
France is part of NATO. They backed out of the integrated command structure in the 60's (but still remained an treaty member) and rejoined in 2009. I think they still reserve the right to not put their nuclear arsenal under allied command.
I obviously have my own opinion on the issue, but I firmly believe both Rs and Ds are not so black and white in their understanding.

I know that most Republicans know that the majority of protesters against George Floyd were inarguably peaceful. As a Democrat, I also know that some protestors broke into stores and such - I just don’t care about these businesses and I think the discussion of theft distracts from the serious issue at hand, which is murder.

As a Democrat, I also know that most people who showed up on 1/6 went to a rally on the mall and then went home. Everyone also agrees that a subset of those people entered or tried to enter the US Capitol building. Most of these people were simply content with taking photos and/or shitting on the floor, but subset of that subset wanted to kidnap and/or murder elected officials. I think that this attempt to kidnap and/or murder politicians is the most significant thing that happened on 1/6. I’m sure many other people believe that discussing the crimes committed in that day detracts from what they view as the more important discussion, which is whether congress should have overturned the election results.
I can vouch. Everyone was ambivalent about a war then I woke up one day in Sarajevo and the building across the street was on fire, and the city was surrounded. The next few months until I got out were nuts.

It amazes me how many semi common house plants only ever naturally lived in some small corner of the world, but can be found in livings rooms around the globe! I visited Puerto Rico a couple years ago and was floored to see one of the most common house plants (snake plant) growing everywhere, ten feet tall and thriving. Really cool. If anyone is searching for a good WFH hobby, houseplants are great! Buy the right ones and you can still travel for weeks at a time!

Is it not clear that cows experience distress? And we farm and eat those.

Or is this conclusion that octopuses experience distress and other animals are p-zombies which only react in a way that looks like distress but might be emotionally neutral inside?
There's no reporting, it's a blockquote from the NYT, who was doing reporting, and surrounding, completely unrelated text advocating for Libertarianism and against lockdowns.
I've had several people in my life tell me after more intense studies of octopi they refuse to eat them.

While I've seen a couple of documentaries on the subject, I won't profess to know as much, but the essential argument has been that they're extremely intelligent, emotional animals. It's akin to eating a dog or cat (which might be acceptable in some parts of the world, but pretty shunned in the west).

It's convincing enough for me, I also stopped eating octopus.

A soft start if you want to research, Netflix currently has "My Octopus Teacher" streaming.
This is wise and comprehensive HN comment. My only recommendation is to realize that no human ever sits right on a high dimensional mean or median. You are all unique!

The variances explained by the statistical models of longevity and health are generally woefully low.

Don’t even talk about correlation for populations unless you add the “variance explained” and unless you are sure the statical model and cofactors apply broadly.

You, as an individual, may be way out in metabolic and life-style left field. Are these recommendations even of the correct polarity for you?

We raised 80 different strains of inbred mice on both standard and very high fat (60% calories from lard) diets. Each strain was randomly assign to either diet for life with about 8 to 10 replicate “identical twins” per diet.

Do you think we can make a dietary recommendation for mouse number 81? Well at a crude level, sure. The high fat diet generally is not a good diet in terms of lifespan. But there are big deviations from the mean and at least one strain lived much longer on the ridiculous high fat diet than on the standard chow diet.

> DuckDuckGo's !bangs[0] deserve a mention as well

Agreed. They're an awesome feature, too. I just like sharing this little trick every now and then as it's not really mentioned anywhere (I accidentally discovered it), unlike bangs which DuckDuckGo very strongly advertise.
The article also misses that “JS imports” (script tags with type module) act as though they have the defer attribute by default, so they are not “render blocking” like CSS imports are. It is good that CSS always blocks the parser though to prevent flash of unstyled content. My main issue with CSS imports though is that they don’t encapsulate the style rules at all, which doesn’t give much advantage over inlining the CSS to avoid the extra network request.

However I do agree with the sentiment of the article that CSS did a pretty good job of enabling a huge amount of change in web design over the years despite the lack of good options for layout in the early days

> In reporting it is attempting to make one's own view on the matter irrelevant to the content written.

This is impossible. Part of the determination of what to report is what’s important to even report on in the first place. Omission, or emphasis of stories otherwise reported objectively correctly, is a bias too.

The rest of your comment… I sincerely can’t tell if you’re objecting to anything I said or just generally ranting apropos of nothing above. So I don’t know how to address that.
I commend you for your decision.

I want to add that framing my ideas about animal suffering in an elastic way makes it easier for me to make incremental changes. An animal is either alive or dead. Maybe eating vegetarian once a week will save a life down the line.

I urge everyone to resist the all-or-nothing approach, especially on such an important aspect of our ethical choices. No one's perfect, not even the vegan straight edge kids on Instagram who sneak a chicken nugget when no one's looking.
> Of course, we can't stop eating every animal

Why? There are plenty of people who do.
> Source is pretty partisan, as are the sources cited in the article.

Sure, the New York Times is a highly partisan source, but it's one that tends to back the CDC blindly, not one that's known for campaigning against the CDC.
> With "unofficial" translations you will never know if the translators didnt censor/change the meaning somehow

With official translations, you don't know that, either. In fact, for the same reasons that politicians who speak in multiple languages often give speeches, on a given subject, with substantially different content in different languages, official translations of books that are designed as political propaganda or advocacy often shade the content to different anticipated audiences in different languages.

> Sorry to hijack the thread, but has anyone successfully used NFS for anything worthwhile?

I'm sure it's less common these days with everything on "the cloud" (far less convenient), but in the old days entire companies ran on NFS. Thousands of workstations, with dozens-to-hundreds of NFS servers mapped to a global filesystem hierarchy, automounting as needed.

So the answer to "has anyone" is yes, lots of companies, for a couple decades.

I do miss it, it was so super convenient to have everything in what seemed one giant filesystem.

At a tiny scale I still have the convenience at home. My file server (ZFS) exports various filesystems to all other machines in the house (via zfs sharenfs).
