My daughter did an ISA for a six month digital marketing bootcamp. Terms were a capped ($40K total payback) 1/2 of income over $40K for 5 years, 0% interest.

On one hand, the total payback would be $40K for six months of school. That is really high even for a top-tier college.

On the other had, she has ended up going from $30K/year to about $50k/year and is paying $5000 per year towards her ISA. So her income went up by $20K and she's keeping $15k of it. That's a pretty big win - so six months of school, increase in net income of 50%. Not bad.

So where's the real problem? For every person like my daughter, there are lots of people who spend six months, and end up not making enough money to pay back the ISA. There's a lot more to improving your income than going to school. Everything from grooming habits to interpersonal skills to punctuality. The school was taking on immense risk of getting no money from many of the students.
> This is where I shrug my shoulders and say "Why not [blame] both?"

I've yet to see any of these discussions to blame both. And your own comment literally never mentions the Big Three.

> can all be screwing over creators in conjunction with their publishers.

I prefer not to wade in to conspiracy territory. Apple may have power over the industry, but they are an outlier. The rest do whatever the industry tels them to.

Quote, [1]. Emphasis mine

--- start quote ---

Spotify primarily makes money for music from two sources — from Spotify Premium subscribers as well as from advertisers on Spotify’s free tier. Roughly ⅔ of this money is paid out to music rights holders.

--- end quote ---

Guess who are the rights holders. They get 60-65% percent of Spotify's revenue (not profit). Care to ask them where this money goes? No one ever dares to.

> That said, not all musicians on Spotify go through publishers.

It's either publishers or indie aggregators (two or three of them). Spotify doesn't pay artists directly. If it tried to do that, the big publishers would immediately pull their catalogs. And the vast majority of popular music on the platform is likely to come from big publishers, not from indie aggregators.

IPFS is still complicated and inefficient because it spews provider records to bazillions of blocks, because they insist on random access to files and chunks.

As far as I know it also still spews your entire wantlist to all peers, which could be hundreds, in hopes that maybe one of them happens to have a popular block you want.

It's also immutable first. So you can't change anything without changing the parent, and so on all the way up the tree, which is fine for some kinds of content but not others.
> That goes into the history book, not the obituary.

There's plenty of room for it in both.
Going the other way? The fee started at 30% and has only gone down from there (ex. 15% for subs active > 1 yr). I believe the fees will fragment further and give developers the option of paying less but receiving less too. For example: You can pay 5% less but you will only show up in app store search results. Or something to this effect. We will never get blanket 30% take rates again. It was a simplification when the market was early
Well, NATO is not just a "defensive" alliance, it's more of another tool used to primarily protect the interests of the US. And of course NATO attacked countries in the past. You remember Yugoslavia, or Bosnia and Herzegovina? They were bombed by NATO just the same way today Ukraine is being attacked by Russia.

Noone asked americans to come and kill people half the planet away, and you still did that, many many times in many many countries... middle east, africa, south american, even some european ones. You're the ultimate bad guys. Once i though you were atleast aware of that (from hippie movement, to micheal moore documentaries), but stayed quiet because of all the cheap oil and other resources, but i'm genuinely more and more disappointed in you, because some of you honestly think you're the good guys for killing people.
Just a headsup that Olympia and Spokane have VERY different weather systems. East and west of the Cascades is a huge divide. One side gets hundreds of cloudy days per year with roughly 40in of rain, the other gets a lot more snow, more sunny days but only roughly 10in of rain. Most likely when most people think of the PNW they are thinking of things west of the Cascades.
I think you’re confusing multiple responses. I never said that the blood libel was a uniquely or even originally Nazi invention.

I’ll summarize again: it is understandable to be ignorant of the blood libel. It is normal, even. My sole object in this conversation is to identify it, or “call it out” in modern parlance.
What global legal approval was granted for the Iraq war in 2003, or even the Afghanistan war in 2001? Can you clarify what "responses" you're talking about in these clauses?

> The responses were, again, approved through the global legal framework [...]. None of this can be said of either terrorism or the responses [...]

Edit: I think I understand now, the first responses are the sanctions post-Kuwait invasion, the second responses are the Afghan and Iraq wars.
It's a good question. When you look at why utility-scale solar construction isn't happening fast enough, you quickly find that there are fundamental scaling problems associated with getting hundreds of people to very remote construction sites every day for the duration of a project -- and these problems get worse as the sites get larger and more remote. While our robots will reduce the number of people required to build a given MW of solar capacity, increasing the labor supply will dramatically grow the number of solar installations happening overall each year, and with it create a lot of skilled construction jobs.

> My understanding is that solar installation is the next (semi?) skilled labor that could potentially be careers for many people.

This is partially true -- a lot of the more specialized solar jobs show up in the residential solar market, which is growing quite quickly (residential solar grew 30% in 2021 over 2020). The training period for the tasks we're performing on large-scale sites is a couple of days.
Tars – A crypto trading bot for research and developers
Hello everyone!

I developed a rather simple crypto trading bot called Tars. It allows you to trade automatically with your own strategies, takes into account fees, make test runs in real-time or with a backtesting tool and run multiple strategies running at the same time.

Tars is free and I'm looking for a few people keen to contribute to the codebase. If you're passionate by the algo/trading world, get in touch!

Best,

Fred
About a month ago, I took notice of LPC processors in general as "unbrickable" to the extent they all (AFAIK) have a serial bootloader, etc.

At some hazy and facetious level, does a vulnerability such as that described here connote a deeper level of being "unbrickable" -- say if a vendor lost its own key?

>Focus mainly on real, independent solutions to being self sustainable. Solar power, solar greenhouses, self defense, farming methods. Don't buy into rhetoric or belief systems. Have math lead you.

This is my line of thinking here too. Though it seems necessary to additionally have that 3-month supply as a quick buffer while you build up your capacity for long-term solutions in parallel over time. I.E we're also starting a garden and considering investing in some way to run even a limited amount of off-grid power.

Edit: I'm actually not worried about bombs at all in my case, but more the complete breakdown of global trade.

Do you have data to backup those assertions about productivity? My findings suggest the US to be on par with Germany on PPP terms, ranked 6th overall. When measuring productivity on a per hour basis the US is in the top 3.

The statistics I’m reading from WB, Oced, CB, don’t seem to backup what you’re saying, at all.

New business open soared to a historical record high in 2021. Right now, it’s difficult for many, but this time of uncertainty is not any worse than crisis’ in the past.

“Confusion & feeling lost”…pretty anecdotal, don’t you think? My generation felt the same way too in the early 2000’s. My parents as well in the 70’s. How does that statement hold any weight at all? I will agree though that this generation is undergoing a mental health crisis. They are also the first generation to really be immersed by and grow up with social media.

Were have you been? Lol. The rust belt has been the ‘rust belt’ since the 1980s.

The rust belt, namely Detroit, Ohio , Pittsburg, Cleveland, have received quite a bit of development over the last decade. I honestly believe these areas will see even more investment and growth given the climate crisis, growing investment and population.

I don’t know why people paint the US as all doom and gloom. Out of my friend group, 2/5 are doing better, 2/5 are doing about the same, 1/5 is doing worse.

With all do respect, I feel like you pulled much of what you said out of thin air.

In any security-conscious environment, allowing updates without signature is not a winning move. You have to account for unauthorized access attempts somehow, and signed updates are a pretty standard way to do that.

And if you have signed updates, all the openness in the world doesn't help you with a lost key.

Some context here. This was because Saddam and Iraq launched scud missiles at and invaded Kuwait. US coalition forces freed Kuwait from Iraq's invasion, then pushed into the border of Iraqi territory to destroy the scud missile launchers and then promptly secured a ceasefire and left, leaving Saddam's regime.
> Bottom line is, short of turning to nukes, Putin can't actually rubbleize all of Ukraine without a epic number of Russia casualties.

While estimates vary, I’ve seen none that indicates Russia isn't experiencing mind-boggling casualties for the major power in a modern major-power-on-one-side war as it is.

The US estimate put it at a large fraction of the total official Soviet losses over the whole decade-long campaign in Afghanistan that was sometimes referred to as the USSR’s Afghanistan and major contributor to the collapse of the regime, the Ukraine MOD estimates put it well over the Soviet Afghanistan toll.)
What were your failed searches?
One thing I've been curious about for a while now is exactly what sort of food goes into a three month emergency supply. I don't generally eat canned/preserved foods, so I can't just buy a three month supply of the food I usually eat, and my impression is that most canned food has best-by dates of a couple years; do you have to renew your emergency supply every few years?
I disagree that this is the same age-old problem. Automation in construction has failed more often than not in scenarios that require a high-level of engineering and/or exhibit complex tasking on-site. Your second listed article provides a good rationale for the failure of automation to infiltrate construction: mechanization. Many of the on-site build requirements for construction application are much more complicated and intricate than some of the motions required for agricultural automation. Furthermore, process design in construction is human-centric with a wide gap to transition to automation-centric design. This is well-outlined in your third article e.g. setup/tear-down costs, robot unfriendly environments, start-stop processes.

However, Charge Robotics has a problem that is generally free of much of the above hindrances and is employing a modular approach. Modular construction can lend itself very well to automation. See the modular housing boom that employs automation quite heavily.

One of the more complex construction portions of the build is handled by a portable factory:

"First, a portable robotic factory placed on-site assembles sections of racking hardware and solar modules. This factory fits inside a shipping container. Robotic arms pick up solar modules from a stack and fasten them to a long metal tube (the "torque tube")."

This process could also employ human labor as well. The rest of the build process requires a more simple transfer of these pre-built components with a final assembly:

"Second, autonomous delivery vehicles distribute these assembled sections into the field and fasten them in place onto target destination piles."

The locations of operation are large open fields with minimal occlusion (which often makes robots in many construction settings infeasible) and reuses prior equipment (bankability and minimizes setup/tear down costs).

I don't think this is an easy problem as there are significant technical engineering requirements, but if each modular process can be proven effective, then the external factors that prohibit automation adoption in construction outlined above are fairly minimal.

What Is the Best Piece of Advice You Received?
> vain little anti-buddhisms

Really? Buddha legit allowed one to have small pleasures and advised to spend according to one's income- not be lavish nor meagre.

He promoted the middle-path (majjhima pantha) more than anything else- to not be too stringent nor be too lavish.

He even allowed monks to have communal properties.

I agree with your point, though. Wholeheartedly. With inflation, and for some economies, continued currency devaluation, it is not worth it to save a lot by denying yourself small pleasures.

I bought a more-than-expensive chair, and a high-end mechanical keyboard. I absolutely enjoy those. And, no, I did not go down a steep curve of spending that destroyed my finances.

In terms of getting a loan, anything below 580 is considered "very poor" (though I don't now how FICO relates to car insurance pricing). So the usable range if you're looking for good rates is more like 580-850, or 270 points.
It could be age and lifestyle differences - I'm a 50+ father, big town

But regardless such differences, I've a theory that what social media
has done online, causing polarisation or rather partition into silos,
smartphones (and the app service culture of some businesses) are doing to
us in reality.

After making a conscious effort to rid myself of smartphones (or
rather not get sucked into dependency) 10 years ago, the rest fell into
place. What I mean is, cause and effect wise, to some extent things
like my choice of restaurants to the company I keep, and working
habits, might just be determined by my horizons as a non-user.

Similarly perhaps for you, the world you see is determined by the lens
(a 6 inch square) you look through, and the more you stay there the
more it feels like "life would be harder without a phone".

Factoring out any value judgements, in this way technology is
polarising society.

It is about expendable time. I mean it might take you a few hours or so do it, or even less.

People working in other sectors, maybe with a family when they come home, do not have that skill or luxury.

And speaking from experience, documentation is often greatly lacking. For example just today I had to thumb down a couple of google docs because it was riddled with inconsistencies and lacking crucial information. And that’s a company with near infinite money. And its like that for most software, with great docs an exception rather than a rule.
Yeah, I've only just recently come to see how sensible it actually is from just a daily life point of view.
It's probably not really possible to even estimate how much of actual cashflow is attributable to user income vs. artist payout from GAAP-based financial statements. And their cashflow statements are not particularly useful either. I'm sure a lot of nice things are "said to be," but if spotify were particularly proud of how much money they let through to artists I think they'd be touting it in more concrete ways.

Anyways, this is a bit like looking at Walmart's COGS and declaring that they've never screwed over a supplier by forcing them to cut prices to the bone.
Most of the negative comments so far are regarding her approach to Iraq. It would be more topical to consider that she was one of the main architects of America's treatment of post-Soviet Russia, which perhaps could have been better handled.

Before doing the large (Phase III) clinical trial that leads to approval, smaller trials in humans (Phase II) are done to test different doses and see how the body responds.

It is also a matter of risk management: assuming that two doses always create stronger immunity than one dose, it's better to do a successful Phase 3 trial with two doses and "miss out" on getting approval for a one-dose course, rather than aim for a one-shot vaccine, and risk the response being too small to get any approval at all.

Also, if the drug is successful in the market, Glaxo can do another trial to show that 1 dose is not inferior to 2 doses, and get a patent extension for the new formulation.
It’s usually fairly simple though. You (as a dev) don’t have to front the cost for support folks to handle it.

She was around for a lot of things, some very good and some very bad. I'm glad she worked to stop the genocide in Kosovo, but for me (39, US) the most salient thing I've known about has been about Rwanda—we signed a treaty saying we had to intervene in genocide, and then when genocide happened in 1994, we re-interpreted it to mean we're merely allowed to intervene. And then we largely blocked UN intervention. 700,000 people were murdered in 100 days.

Clinton is obviously the main culprit in this failure, but Albright, then the US Ambassador to the UN, certainly had a part.
