The onus is on a person with privileged information to show that they did not use that information to inform their trades. This is why the CEO can't trade whenever s/he feels like it, for example. "You can't prove I used inside information." To which the attitude is, sure, so what? You had access to it, you traded, get a lawyer. "Sure the CEO told me they were about to be acquired but you can't prove I used that information when I invested a few million in their company." And you really can't prove it yet prosecutions occur.

Pelosi and plenty of others have material, non public information. They and their partners trade knowing that material, non-public information. They make rather good returns, better than you. Better than your retirement savings. It STINKS to high heaven. Focus on that part and reforming it. It's not partisan it's not ok if you're an independent.

My wife and her parents. Not her sisters though, admittedly.

It's possible that I'm just reacting to a biased sample of people. But my impression was that this is a common mindset for a nontrivial subset of the population. Being afraid of doing something wrong on your government forms isn't really an irrational fear. Anyone who's owned a car in Chicago will tell you that the city's goal is to extract as many thousands of dollars from you as possible – it was still one of my worst financial decisions of all time. And that wasn't even taxes.

The broader point is that "dealing with the government" is a big messy bucket that people usually want to pay a janitorial service to dispose of. Even things like "being reminded to file your taxes right now" is valuable in that situation. Most people don't have a clue what day they need to file by. They don't learn it in school, and their parents either don't know or didn't bother to teach them.
Yup same here :/

Yes, but if you're a landlord and you really want to make a higher return on your rental property, you have to delve into the depths of renting to "trouble tenants" because the property price to rent ratio is much better.

Agree -- here in California where we only have one relevant political party the California Energy commission has been able to impose energy efficiency requirements for appliances and buildings that have had a huge positive impact on our energy usage per capita. We've also had EPICS like the tax credit and ability to drive in the carpool lane for hybrids and later electric cars.

At a US national level we have partisan trench warfare exacerbated by a Senate dominated by small states and supermajoritarian voting rules. It's not entirely untrue that the the continued existence of the US Senate is incompatible with a future habitable planet.
If landlords aren’t allowed to pick tenants, then:

1. Bad tenants will have no incentive not to harm the property and the neighborhood.

2. Landlords will be forced to pay for insurance to cover all the bad things that tenants are now free to do.

3. Rents will rise to cover the costs of the insurance. Conscientious tenants will be penalized.

4. Even otherwise conscientious tenants will start to cut corners since they are having to pay for the insurance anyway and it’s clearly unfair.

What a nasty situation for conscientious tenants landlords and neighbors you are advocating.

Only the least conscientious people win.
The project has an AGPL license if that's what you're wondering. We figured many people would feel the same way
Ah yeah, fair enough. The places I worked at-scale had their own o-auth setups (built mostly with FOSS) wired up to flask with some relatively small libraries [1].

Most countries have let you do the exact same thing for free or at a low cost out of your existing bank account, no overhaul required, for years.

Strange to assume GP didn’t read the article. I did, and I have these similar questions:

1. How do I, as a student receiving this teacher feedback, know how seriously to take it? How do I know when it indicates I should spend an additional revision cycle on it, versus on another assignment (possibly from another teacher)?

2. Assuming I can figure out how to evaluate severity of the feedback and the relative amount of improvement I should do, how is this better than just a grade letter telling me how much further I can (or should) go?

3. The class still culminates in a letter grade, no? So doesn’t this create a potentially super-high-stakes environment, where I need to be damned sure I understand what the cumulative feedback I’ve received means, in terms of final letter grade?

This honestly reminds me of the phenomenon of doing end-of-year self assessments on a 1-5 scale and having to turn that in to a manager before receiving the “real” 1-5 scale evaluation from them. Massively long feedback loops, massively high stakes and opportunity for misalignment. Why the heck would you not want early and frequent evaluation?

Maybe it would help for me to understand specific examples of the assignment feedback given to students. I just see way too much risk for students to hear “you’re fine; a couple rough spots, but everyone has those, no big deal” only to flunk the class at the end of the year in a massive surprise.
I had assumed when reading this that the voting credit budget would be allocated per question rather than across the entire ballot. However I don't think the article gave an example of a ballot with multiple questions.

I'd be interested to learn which way this being implemented in practice for multi-question ballots.
When is the Suspense documentation going to be updated? I don't see it in the beta docs, and the main documentation page is for v17, so its still marked as experimental. It also says that, "Before React 18 is released, we will replace this page with stable documentation."
Since it's deterministic, you can get a good estimate (in fact exact as long as you are not front-run) by simulating the execution locally before submitting it. All major wallets do this.

I disagree that employees have no power to make a difference. It's learned helplessness. By that logic, unions are also ineffective at bargaining. The point is you have to actually work together instead of for yourself.
None of those things help, yet none of those things prevent healthy living. For the simple reason that healthy living does not cost a lot of time or money.

Like I said, home cook 5-6 days per week, which costs little time or money. None of the issues you mention prevent you from doing it. Exercise costs no money at all.

I don't mean to dismiss your reasons as if they don't matter at all, I'm stating they are a trap. They provide a shield to hide behind. If only all of that would improve, I'd be healthier. This imaginary utopian society will not make you healthier. You become healthier by stop eating crap.

Nobody's going to do that for you, but you.
It isn't about being objectively good or bad but how it compares to everyone else.
If we all left every company as soon as they commit some immoral things, there'd be no company surviving beyond a few months. If we ditched all our friends as soon as they commit some immoral thing, we'd have no friends. If we ditched our countries as soon as they commit some immoral thing, we'd have no countries.

All entities, one day or another, commit some immoral thing according to some relative morality. We can't expect that they never will. Of course, a consistent and repeat offender should not be rewarded with our support. But it's unreasonable to hold people and groups of people to unreasonable standards, such as "sustained perfect moral behavior".

The average Googler most likely than not thinks that what Google did is bad, but not bad enough overall to warrant their quitting.
They don't have the same affordability crisis. It's actually much worse in Europe. Prices are as high as they are in US, but people make even less, and pay higher taxes.

Go to https://www.numbeo.com/property-investment/region_rankings_c... and check out some European cities you know by name. I recommend looking at the "Mortgage as Percentage of Income" metric:

Mortgage as Percentage of Income is a ratio of the actual monthly cost of the mortgage to take-home family income (lower is better). Average monthly salary is used to estimate family income. It assumes 100% mortgage is taken on 20 years for the house(or apt) of 90 square meters which price per square meter is the average of price in the city center and outside of city center.

90 square meters is around 1000 square feet. In San Francisco, that's 50%. Sounds bad, huh? Well, it's 70% in Madrid, 92% in London and Munich, 101% in Rome, and 117% in Paris, and these are not even the worst: Kiev, Moscow, Minsk, Krakow or Dubrovnik are much worse than that. Maybe it's better in 2nd tier cities? Well, in some (e.g. 31% in Antwerp or 37% in Aarhus), but not in most: 115% in Brno, 93% in Zagreb, or 61% in Lyon.

Back to US: San Francisco 50% is basically as bad as it gets in US, outside of NYC (where it's 66%). Most places in US are in 20-30%s. You think Seattle or Denver are not affordable? Well, the mortgage-to-income ratio there is only around 27%. That's cheaper than basically any major European city.

So yeah, compared to most of European cities, San Francisco houses are a steal.
Among unsupported forms, the validation step in Free Fillable Forms also has a number or bugs that prevents filing due to phantom arithmetic errors. It's beyond frustrating filling out everything on FFF, then needing to copy everything onto a third party service just to pay for the privilege of having my data harvested by a shady company and electronically filed exactly as it would have otherwise. The current situation is unworkable.

Also, one product having a higher price does not mean it's more valuable in a global context.

Two carbon equivalent products can be vastly different in terms of how essential they are (for the life or well-being of people). Prices may not reflect that difference because of global differences in purchasing power.

Does being secret not protect them from influence? If someone buys their vote, they can take payment and vote however they want? Or if they have an unpopular perspective any loud minority groups of devs would oppose them and cause backlash, they won't have to worry about it.

Look at systemd, if you voted against having only one init system back in the day, you would be subject to backlash or it could be understood as support for the Devuan forkers.
So, for people unfamiliar with deep language models like GPT, it's essentially a program that takes in a prompt and predicts the next set of words based on a training corpus -- which in GPT-3's case is a large portion of the internet. In these examples GPT is not executing any python code, it has just been trained on enough Python code/output to successfully predict what kinds of outputs these functions would produce.
>Do you hire that employee? Of course not. It doesn't make any business sense. It's more work for you, more risk for the company, and most importantly it provide $0 financial value to the company. It's an easy no.

That's what the model predicts, but it's unfortunately not how companies beyond a certain size work in practice. Hiring decisions are not made by the business owner to increase profit, but middle-ranking members of the hierarchy who have their own parallel goals.

Businesses can, and do, regularly hire employees that bring in zero or negative value. Often, these people will make up more than 50% of the company by headcount, and the only reason the company still turns a profit is because their existence is subsidised by a small minority of hyper-productive people.
There's a theoretical response and a practical response.

In theory, if you had a competitive and fungible marketplace where a specific employee would boost profits by $100k, and you offered her a salary of $80k, someone else would outbid you with $90k, and someone else would outbid them at $95k etc. Even if the "margins" are low, no one is going to pass up on free money.

In practice, the labor marketplace isn't nearly competitive or fungible enough to expect the above. However, there is still a very different problem. Even if the average salary is "fair", people get rewarded a tiny fraction of the value they generate. Imagine if I'm working at Google and I find a way to save Google $10M/year via improved hardware efficiency. Despite the fact that this isn't part of my job description. How much of that $10M would I get in the form of a salary increase or bonus? A pretty darn tiny amount. 1% if I'm lucky. Is it worth it? Probably not. I might as well just do what my manager asks me to do, and spend my extra time learning Haskell and going to happy hours. This is pretty much what GP was alluding to. If companies started giving people a significant fraction of the value they generate, corporate life would change dramatically.
Dang kids and their versions!

Post the wall coming down there was a sense of optimism and then came the breakup of Yugoslavia with ethnic cleansing and the siege of Sarajevo. In the same time period - the Rwandan genocide.

So, yes the never-ending nuclear fear mongering (not saying the threat wasn't/isn't real - it is) gave way to a small window of time that looked promising.

I lived in exactly that in Liberty Village in Toronto for a period. "Lulu's and Shitzu's" it was often called. How right they were.

New rental-only builds were even going up in the area, not just condos. But they were more expensive to rent than the bloody condos, and about 3/4 the size.
Yep, that has been my experience. I got pretty freaked out once when I received a large packet from the IRS in the mail. Turns out I forgot to report a stock sale and just owed them a few hundred bucks. The only penalty was having to pay interest on the amount at a rate that was a little high but not egregious.

18k police departments is mind blowing. I looked it up because I wasn’t sure it was plausible, but a Department of Justice publication confirmed [0]. Meanwhile the UK has 48 police forces [1].

330,000,000 / 18,000 = 18,500 Americans per police force

67,000,000 / 48 = 1,396,000 Brits per police force

Not sure what to make of that.

Muse does actually look pretty interesting, so I'll probably try it out...

> From what process could an appropriate price for the externalities of global warming emerge?

I can think of one process: charge a fee per ton of CO2 emissions that equals the cost of taking that CO2 back out of the atmosphere and sequestering it. Then give the money to whoever is able to do that and prove it.

That's probably too expensive right now and definitely not feasible politically, but it's something to work towards. The closer we get to that, the more incentive there will be to develop technological methods of accomplishing it.

In the meantime, we're probably best off just setting the price as high as we can get away with, and equally distributing the revenue among residents as partial compensation for the damage being done.

In a functioning democracy, wide distribution helps build political support for a higher price. It also keeps the burden from falling heavily on the poor.
I have in fact not heard that specific claim much. There was the whole "ASIC-resitance" trend and the projects that did care about it (like Monero) tend to be right in their claims. Ethereum is still to a large extent mined on consumer-grade GPUs.

There is not even any consensus on if this is desirable for PoW chains.

I would say the opposite. IE was popular long ago because they were fastest to implement new features. IE is the reason XMLHttpRequest has such a silly name. IE supported CSS grid 5 years before anyone else[1]. The problem is they tried to force features on everyone instead of collaborating. That started decades ago with the <marquee> tag trying to stand out against netscape, and never really stopped until IE11 got feature frozen. Now IE is left with a "grid" that's different from everyone else's "grid", because everyone else waited for consensus.

Google is playing the exact same game now with things like manifest v3 and federated cohorts, etc. They're winning the game so far. They may keep winning forever, or they may not. We can only wait and see.
