I said on Twitter that there is a very obvious revenue strategy here. Pivot from tots to thots. Thots need to post censored versions of their photos on Instagram as the top of their Only Fans funnel. It’s a business expense for them. Seed it to some influencers but ask them to leave on the watermarks and then wait for other cam girls to buy it because all their friends are using it.

Medicare and most private insurers will pay for medical translation or interpretation services when necessary. It's HCPCS billing code T1013. Generally hospitals would make a small gross profit on it, so I'm puzzled why they would eliminate those positions if there is enough demand to keep them busy.
Tourism (including medical tourism) is a thing, as is telemedicine. In general, doctors and hospitals aren't in the business of turning away people just because they speak the "wrong" language.

All you're saying is C++ lets you write bad code. I don't accept that such code is normal in C++ - it isn't.

Will someone address my original question?

Here it is again:

"What normal C++ syntax are you referring to that generates undefined behavior? "

The context being that C++ breaks the promise with the programmer by deviating from what was originally intended and generating UB.

The Intelligent Investor was not written in a time when interest rates were zero (and real interest rates were negative).

Using the suggested approach would demolish a bond portfolio. Assuming Barclays Aggregate index as a proxy, if interest rates rise to 7%, then half the value of the bonds would be lost.

Note that correlation of rising rates and rising stock market exists until about the 4-6% rate region before the market starts to be truly negatively correlated with bonds above that number.

Based on all my reading over the past several years, this is the first time in history that so many bonds have been priced at or near zero (including below zero rates). I think Benjamin Graham would be writing a supplement to his book if he were alive today.

> Forests only sequester carbon as they grow. After that they are carbon neutral. You end up with land that cannot be used for any economic purpose. (The creatures and plants that live in it have a value too, but that is not part of this argument).

I will be paraphrasing the science articles I have read lately...

Planting new trees on bare land does not work to capture CO2. So if you deforest an area and then re-plant, you put a lot of extra CO2 into the atmosphere. Like 30% of the trees you harvest go into durable things (like houses) and the rest will decompose and release its carbon. After you leave the ground bare, it starts spewing CO2 from the soil. This is a major carbon source. New trees you plant will EVENTUALLY soak up more CO2, but canopy closure needs to happen before that can happen. Since the young trees are planted with considerable spacing, the soil CO2 source outpaces the tree CO2 sink for many years before the balance shifts.

Mature forests throughout history probably did tend to be carbon neutral on average, yes. This is ignoring ecological changes... like... maybe forest conversion to other landscapes and fires were balanced by healthy forest uptake. I digress.

These are not normal times, and CO2 concentration is very high. Because of that, old-growth or mature forests may be significant sinks of CO2. The best strategy for us to draw down more with forests is to leave as much mature forest untouched as we can.

To my reading, it says exactly that. But we will see.

Netflix already allows you to watch on multiple devices simultaneously, and already allows you to watch from places other than your home. (Say, the gym, or airport, I dunno). It doesn't say they are going to stop doing that. So I don't know how they'd knwo which "household" a watcher is in, and the info doesn't say anything about new ways to monitor number of households, it doesn't mention households at all, only profiles. I can't read it in any way but they are reducing the number of profiles you get without paying extra.

But we'll find out!

The "Free" in "FOSS" has never meant $0. That's a possible and common consequence of "free," but not its definition. In fact, "free" does not necessarily imply $0. I can take an MIT licensed codebase, compile it, and sell it, and break no license. I am "free" to sell this code and products derived therefrom. I am also "free" to give it away.

But what I cannot do is take a piece of software that is not "free" and advertise that it is free.

That's what's going on here.

Every fiat currency is different. Many poor in Argentina would argue that the USD, obviously inflationary, is a good store of value.
> the US is a country without such a system

By the simple definition of "fractional reserve"--that a financial institution only needs to keep a fraction of its total liabilities as actual currency in its reserve pool, and must convert other assets into currency if withdrawals exceed that reserve amount--it most certainly is. That is how all financial institutions in the US work, just as in other countries.

It would be interesting to see a debate between Friedman and the other economists you reference, who obviously hold very different views. I don't think we're going to resolve any such differences here; I would simply note that there are such differences, and that the views of the economists you mention are not universal, nor are they necessarily correct.

"They" comes off impersonal though. As if you're using it because you don't know their gender. That's why I would much prefer a new word. Something that indicates that you know they are neither he nor she. (In a similar vein I'd also prefer a distinct singular "they" and plural "you")

I'm not sure we read the same article.

I don't agree with your vituperative criticisms, but I doubt we'll get anywhere with further discussion.

The LED display driver is interesting in this device. It uses 75492 (still available!) for the digit driver and DS8871 for the segment driver. Except DS8871 is open collector, so it is used to force a segment off. For on, there 100 ohm pull ups. These are just the drivers, the latches are separate.

This is a circuit you want to optimize to reduce cost...

For comparison, here is a Z-80 "membership card". It uses 74LS145 for the decoder/digit driver (driven from a counter) and 74HC273 for latch+segment driver.

Yep, absolutely. My doctor of 10+ years recently retired, leaving me in search of a new doc. I've been managing my pain for 15+ years just fine with 10mg Hydrocodone. In 15 years I only once asked to increase the dose, and it was only from two pills per day to three to help me get through the afternoon/evening better. A minuscule dose.

After doing "new patient" appointments (which by the way were like $200 to $300 each) and not having a doc willing to take me on as a patient unless I dropped the opioids, and making several calls (who refused to tell me over the phone whether the doctor was even open to controlled substances without that $300 "new patient" appointment) I gave up. Since coming off the opioids my quality of life has plunged. I struggle with depression and thoughts of suicide now, especially when I'm unable to leave the house or my bed. I went from stable and productive and what doctors used to say is the model patient, to being miserable. Every doc has offered to give me additional antidepressants or crank up the doses of those, but none are willing to treat the pain that is exacerbating it.

I absolutely believe that what the medical establishment is doing to people like us (withholding treatment that we know works) is cruel and borders on torture. It is the epitome of taking macro-level stats and explanations and applying them broadly on the micro-level, regardless of the harm caused.

I believe Hippocrates would be rolling over in his grave to hear that these people took an oath to "do no harm."

For the record. I mostly don't blame the doctors. They are protecting their medical licenses, which the DEA and FDA have proven they are willing to revoke over the slightest anomaly. When the feds started throwing pain specialists in federal prison because some tiny percent of their patients were abusers, it really drove home that individual doctors are not allowed to think anymore. You implement government policy, or you risk financial ruin and even jail time. I don't blame them for being cowards. I probably wouldn't risk imprisonment on a stranger either.
That's kind of what high-end book reviews are like -- read The New York or Los Angeles Review of Books to see what I mean. Basically the reviewers write essays on a topic and tie it in loosely with a review of a new book published on the topic. Bonus points if the reviewer has also written a book on the subject and negatively compares the new book to their own.

18% sounds like a big increase, and it is a big increase from a relative standpoint. But the absolute risk goes from 5% lifetime risk to 6% lifetime risk in the linked study.

I've listened to ATP since day one. My impression of Siracusa as a programmer is limited to the few apps he's released. But he could be a fantastic programmer at his "jobby-job." Or he could just be average. We have no way of telling, despite how intelligent both his writing and his speaking on the podcast might convey.

Marco is very successful with Tumblr, Instapaper, and Overcast, yet we don't know how good a programmer he is. He's made great money, and has strong opinions, but again, we don't know how good a programmer he is.

Casey used to have a "jobby-job" before leaving the corporate world. So he too might be a good, bad or excellent programmer. We don't know.

It's kind of like how you don't really know someone until you live with them. For programming, it's until you've worked with them and seen their code. All three of the hosts might be world class; or they might be average. But there's no way to determine who is the strongest programmer of the three.

We can debate who's been more successful selling their code, but we don't know where Siracusa works and code/app sales are a poor metric for code quality.

Two thoughts on this:

1 - holding bonds versus bond funds are very different, as in the first case, you control the timing of the sale, and in the second, the fund does. That has all sorts of implications about losses (as well as capital gains) in any particular year.

2 - Interest rates have been at zero (ignoring this week's interest rate hike). Using the Barclay's Agg duration of 6.7 (as of this week), then you are just asking for pain in your bond holdings. Stocks may or may not go up or down, but bonds are either going to go down or generate basically zero cash flow. Many people have embraced TINA as a result. [0]

>if incremented past the maximum.

What would be the intention to increment past the maximum? Incrementing a number infinitely is an infinite series 1+1+1[..] A programmer needs to be aware that you cannot store an infinite series in a data type like int - and this applies to any programming language.

If the programmer is looking to exploit wrapping behavior then it is best not to ASSUME anything, but actually verify what promises the language provides. Its basic sanity checking, you do that before sending parameters to API, receiving parameters, during transfer of ownership of memory, etc, etc. All of this falls under basic programming - regardless of language.

So on the Neo4j website they have a community edition that is GPLv3 license with a link to gnu.org, not their own gpl + some stuff version. However on their pricing page they list a number of size and performance limitations to the community edition.

How does that work? It would seem like false advertising to claim I have to upgrade to remove their arbitrary limitations. I don't see how they legally enforce those limitations since they are licensing under a vanilla GPL v3.

"CO2 acts as an acid and will bind to a base, whether in the liquid phase or on a solid surface. We have developed a process to bring air in contact with a base substrate that captures CO2 molecules while letting N2 and O2 molecules pass through"

Interesting, and of course worth noting that many geological events have done exactly this when calcium bearing rock (chemically basic) is exposed and weathered, capturing carbon as calcium carbonate. See, e.g. the hypothesis that the uplift of the Himalayas contributed to a past ice age[1].

One way to grasp the scale of the problem of sequestering our current level industrial emissions is to imagine assembling a calcium surface comparable to that of the Tibetan plateau. That's not to minimize the value of potential sequestration solutions here, which as you note will definitely need to be coupled with emissions reductions. Just that we need to, in effect "move mountains" to get this to work.

>Inject CO2 into basalt formations...

Thanks for this comment - the calculations I'd been doing in the GP comment and elsewhere where pretty darn depressing and this approach you're mentioning is very exciting in that it bypasses the fundamental storage volume problems most other sequestration methods face by leveraging the interstitial spaces inside existing rock volumes, and also exciting in that it leverages undersea rock formations for even lower impact. Thanks for pointing me to this.
