I'm sorry. I didn't make this clear enough. I thought "voter registration was an innovation of the Progressive Era" spelled this out, and that it was sort of also implied by the fact that for much of the 19th century, we didn't even have widespread photography, and certainly not photographic ID, but, to be clear: my point was that in the 19th century nobody had to go to the DMV to vote, because voter identification wasn't a thing.

Before I responded to your original comment, I did some poking around about 19th century voting practices. It's an interesting question. If you want to keep talking about it, can I ask first if you've taken the time to do the same thing? This is one of those discussions where we don't have to derive everything axiomatically.
> The number of good answers is endless.

So why wait until retirement to start seeking them?

> Working is slavery, however you want to slice it.

This is a thought-terminating cliche. Slavery is slavery. Working is an arrangement you enter into voluntarily with a series of pros and cons for all participants. Is the CEO if a company a slave? The researcher who finds a cure for a disease a family member died from? A musician in a touring band? An author with a book deal?

It's your life and I respect your choice to live it how you want, but if you have an idea that work is a thing to be suffered for as little as possible until you reach payday and then you retire and your real life starts... you are almost certainly on track for a completely miserable life both before and after your retirement.

Take a look at the kind of people who have the greatest life satisfaction. How many of them went down the FIRE path versus building their entire life in a meaningful way?
Thanks! I only played that vector game in the arcade.

Where do you live? There is of course a lot of crime nearby me in SF but it's pretty dense so its spread across a large number of people so my personal risk is low. (There's maybe a million people in a 5 mile radius.)

Sadly most of the country has even weaker gun control so doesn't enjoy the relative safety of living somewhere like San Francisco where there are only four times the number of homicides compared to the UK/France/Germany. (4.5 homicides per 100k in SF vs 6.3 homicides in the US and 0.8-1.2 homicides per 100k in UK/France/Germany.)

Edit: Fixed SF crime rate to use full year figures since Wikipedia incorrectly links to half year figures.

Other times the customer service is designed to be horrible. For example- allowing customers to create an account online, then requiring customers to call over the telephone to close the account (my ISP does this). Very annoying to sit in a phone queue for 20-30 minutes when I should be able to simply click a button that says "Close account." If I was president I would make it criminal.

My armchair theory after reading this a while back as well was gen Z, better than any other group, understands that gender/sex/etc. is a spectrum. So if you ask them “are you heterosexual?” it’s no surprise that more are comfortable saying - and have the requisite knowledge to say - something along the lines of, “well I wouldn’t say I’m straight because while I am man with a woman I could see myself with a man.”

I don’t have a source for this of course. I’m operating under the assumption that gen z has more internalized the idea of gender/sex/sexuality as a spectrum.
Good question, I'd love to see an honest answer...
Is there a hidden feature in Thunderbird, or an add-on, that allows easily sending replies from the email address to which message was received? Without having to have those email addresses already added as accounts/identities.

And also writing fresh emails from specific emails addresses maybe by easily editing the “from” field.

i.e if I had used an email netflix@mydomain.tld to register on Netflix and I am replying to an email received on that then the reply should automatically bo sent from that email.

Apple mail allows this by adding such email addresses in advance. I already have almost 20 in the from list. It’s a mess. Couldn’t find any other generic client (iPhone or Mac) that does it.

Specifically 15 seconds after the code is loaded - since this is a polyfill this means immediately after the page loads - it checks if your browser is in one of Russia's timezones, and alerts the message if it is. It then tries to use window.open to open a change.org petition (user? I'm wary of checking the link), but because this call is triggered by a timer and not user interaction, most browser's popup blocker will block it by default.
You appear to have selected only questions from the "pedagogy" section of the test, which is only 30% of the questions. Pedagogy is also presumably taught as part of the teaching degree that the test-takers complete.

Here is a link to some full practice tests: https://mathproficiencytest.ca/#/en/sample-questions-pre

The math questions are incredibly simple, and I'm astonished that people planning to become teachers had the chutzpah to complain about having to do middle-school math, let alone challenge it in court. The fact that they won is shameful for everyone involved.
>The whole point of bitcoin is trustless action. I don't have to trust you because I can verify the transaction.
If anyone can verify a transaction, it's obviously traceable.

But you do not need everyone to verify but instead take a shortcut and just verify the proof. That's what zero knowledge proofs are all about [0]. Unfortunately a lot of people pass over these subtleties. So, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "verify".

>"Ah but Monero" no. Monero requires you to trust the authors because you can't verify any of the transactions, especially the genesis blocks. Use at your own peril.

Can you elaborate on this point?
By "verify" again, you simply mean a transparent blockchain where every tx and address is unambiguously visible to all. E.g. Ring signatures aren't something you need to trust the authors.[1][2]

But in general, yes, at some point without being able to "verify" the whole code I have to "trust". This is true for every sufficiently large enterprise. For example there are a lot of (complicated) mathematical proofs I didn't fully go through but nonetheless used shamelessly in my mathematical modeling because I "trusted" its applications (I have learned from).

Hey All, Zaheer from Levels.fyi here. We've had this offering for a while. What does this mean for jobseekers? Nothing. We answer this in fact in the FAQ on the page.

> Our data offerings provide employers with the same data you see on our site but in the format they need to make compensation decisions. All data points remain anonymous. Our paid offerings allow us to invest in maintaining Levels.fyi and further our mission: Helping people make better career decisions.

The main difference is that we provide data in a spreadsheet type format for employers with additional filtering criteria like metro codes, etc. It's a win-win-win all around. We get some revenue to help maintain the site. Companies get realtime compensation data to pay people fairly. Professionals continue to benefit from the site to get paid more and have data to negotiate better against companies.

We've have dozens of calls with companies this past year. The #1 reason why they purchase our data is because existing salary surveys (ex. Radford, Mercer, etc.) are stale and are too broad. Top tier tech talent which our site mainly attracts often get paid more than rest of the market. This is the bi/tri-modal nature of pay that others have written about. HR / Eng Managers / Comp analysts often buy our data to justify internally that they should be paying more.

Child porn never add anything to do with "free-speech". I'm sorry but trying to link the 2 as they are somehow related issue is completely absurd. Reddit still has plenty of child porn, revenge porn and child grooming subs, so much that Reddit now keeps modlists hidden cause the depraved people Reddit hires as "supermods" apparently need that kind of protection to continue their misdeeds.

I hope one day that depraved website and its depraved admins and "supermods" get its day of reckoning, in a court of law.
Transferable skills? Founders as venture capitalists
CRM is a hard skill to learn. It sounds easy on paper, but it goes against everything you've ever learned for how to have polite social interactions. Imagine you're an intern watching someone like Jeff Dean give a live demo, and you think the presentation is proceeding in a way that is going to cause a major outage. What do you do? I'm guessing that 99% of the time, you're not going to say anything. "He knows what he's doing" "It's not appropriate for me to interrupt a senior engineer's demo". Defeating that intuition is what CRM training aims to eliminate, and it takes a lot of work to override that hardcoded human behavior. (Even for Americans. I imagine it's even harder for Koreans.)

I'd really like to see # of hours of CRM training (and total training!) company wide vs. fatal accidents, and dig in even deeper to see if the training was even any good. (You could give every pilot 10 hours of bad training, and it wouldn't help the accident rate.)

Anyway, I'm sure someone has these numbers. My guess is that much more work was done than saying "just speak English" and the problem was magically fixed.
I checked with heaptrack, the big allocation seems to be within scintilla data structures (which should be the same on notepad++ if I'm not mistaken ?). So likely some suboptimal thing here like having some cache somewhere which does not matter for the average text file.

Is that sure?

Autonomous cars are hard because of “surprise”. Other drivers, kids, bicycles, randomness intersecting the street that has to be dealt with.

By and large, aircraft have the way cleared for them by ATC, and objects that may intersect with them tend to be on a path that is neither “came out of nowhere” nor erratic (UFOs aside!). Weather is a challenge, but autopilot deals with weather already. Arguably there’s much less surprise for a sky bus than a road bus, and arguably the fact it’s a big airliner instead of a crossover SUV doesn’t make it particularly harder for a machine.

TL;DR: Planes seem “nearer” than cars and some cars pretend to be automatic already.

If this is the exact image you wanted and are entirely satisfied for it, great. But what people are reacting to is that it is outputting interesting images at all.

What are you going to do with this cape wearing realistic Pikachu that is actually a picture of a hamster?

Typically the trained human has something specific in mind. And if the client isn't satisfied they will torture them with countless requests for adjustments. So right now this is of limited use.

To me what is far far far more interesting is that Dall-E possibly understands the concept of what a Pikachu is supposed to be. That is downright creepy, and fascinating. I suspect that this visual aspect to things after people get over the clipart generation might find more functional utility as a way to see through the "model eyes" so to speak. To visualize the model itself. That could unlock a lot of doors in how training is done.

Maybe in the future you could train it on textbooks and prompt it for a picture of a molecule. Now that would be something. Especially if you start feeding it data from experiments.

The kind of disorientation I think they are thinking about is the plane ends up upside down in cloud but the pilot thinks he's the right way up. In that situation the plane will be accelerating towards the ground at 2G which will have you going downwards at 400 mph in 10 seconds. In that context 30 seconds would see you pancaked.

747s don't do maneuvers that lead to them being in extreme orientations but fighter jets etc do.
Committed 23 days ago and no contributor or author has deigned to do anything about it. Says a lot about the health of this library.

The "open source maintainers are not your bitch" argument is moot when one publishes a library on something like npm and then disappears when a security incident happens. I reckon publishing a library on a package manager should come with a promise of responsibility or at least communication.

Calling it a demand side problem implies you don't want more people living in desirable areas (I'm guessing you live in one of these areas?). That is blatant NIMBYism mixed with some xenophobia. When you reduce demand people are priced out by high interest rates and have to move to less desirable locations. That has real impacts. People have to commute further to their jobs. People can't get their ideal jobs, not because they're not qualified, but because they can't afford housing. That is not an ideal outcome compared to just building more supply.

Contrasting calorie consumption with the housing market is just disingenuous. One is clearly not a market and the other one clearly is. People like you are just going to have to understand that as population in North America grows cities are going to have to get denser and your lifestyle is no longer a viable one because it comes at the cost of millions of peoples' lives.

>You're not wrong. Most authors of academic papers are not good writers. Perversely, regardless of where they are on the spectrum spanning from good to mediocre to terrible, writers' output is usually made worse when they know they're writing for an academic context—this is why most of the blog posts you're thinking of, with their informal language, make better papers than the papers themselves.

This isn't necessarily the writer's fault at all. I have had reviewers complain that the language in my paper was too informal. I wasn't using slang or something like that. But in so many words, the reviewer wanted _more_ academese. It was the last paper of my grad school career and I was sick of academese. In so many words, I told them to pound sand. That was my only paper to never get published.
Of course they're CURATED, but there are several links where he shows the full set of images that were generated and I would say between 70 to 80% of them are pretty decent aesthetically speaking.

Given that it's able to generate a dozen images in less than a minute, and all I have to do is pick out the ones that are aesthetically pleasing, I'd say that's a damn good win.

As this article makes very clear, Bitcoin has been a law enforcement honeypot for more than a decade now. Asking if there's a way to use Bitcoin anonymously is like asking about the best way to walk into a police station, steal a computer off a desk, and walk back out the front door. No, man. The question is the answer. It is going to be very difficult to steal things out of a police station, because it is a police station.

1. Sort of - the connector between the two is fiscal policy. We had tight fiscal policy in 2008 - that's why we saw no/muted general inflation after the crisis. We had comparatively loose fiscal in 2020 - hence the inflation now - it's not explained solely by supply chain problems and demand shifts from services to goods (though that's also a significant part of it).

Monetary inflation builds the potential for price/goods/CPI inflation - whether than potential is realized depends on fiscal policy and the supply response (more redistribution => more inflation - if productive capacity can't catch up, or if we limit supply - for example ESG / anti-oil stance).

2. Governments employ debt because of the political price of raising taxes. Issuing debt is basically taxing savers via inflation over the medium term - it's more "invisible", since the government will eventually have to devalue or default on its debt in real terms (the U.S. has done it twice in the last century - in 1934 and 1971, and it's possible that a third one is coming in the next decade. It's a little trickier since the currency is no longer gold backed, but it's de-facto oil-backed. If oil goes to $10K / barrel (hypothetically), that's as good as US defaulting on its debt as far as foreign creditors are concerned).

3. True, though there are transparency measures that monitor government spending and we have rough measures of effectiveness. Government is to people what the FED is to banks - the provider of needs of last resort. It might not give you the best service or work efficiently, but it will be there when everything else goes bankrupt or refuses to work. There are things that are unprofitable and unenviable to do in a capitalist system - and we rely on the government to do them.

For many years the BSD tcp/ip stack was by far the best. Linux lacked viable networks far into its infancy. So I too expected BSD to reign Supreme.

For the life of me I cannot explain it, because the rise of distro carried Linux up the foodchain to mainframes and down to replace vxworks and ultimately dominate phones to spaceships.

Umm, I honestly didn't have a problem with the sex work I did when I was younger until I was raped by NYPD officer at 17. I started off doing webcam shows, and I don't really have anything bad to say about it. I started prostitution at maybe 14, and it was honestly kinda fun, I don't recommend it, but a lot of the people paid for me thinking that I was an 18, if something bad happened I would pull the you just raped a child card, and have them empty their bank accounts at an ATM. And I still support sex workers. I was human trafficked not as a sex slave, but as a software and creative worker due to not having a visa in a country when I was about 19. I was being driven around in expensive cars and living in one of the poorest ghettos in the world. I didn't realize I was working for a gang until I had a package in my lap I was told not to look into, and obvi, I did and it was a brick of powder, so probably cocaine, but maybe heroin, and I kept doing the work, sleeping on my pile of clothes in a vermin infested home with plywood floors. I ran for my life when I came into the office and there was a pile of blood and a dead body. And when I say I ran for my life, I mean the physical act of running from people trying to murder me to shut me. Sorry for the vagueness, and lack of advice. Don't be a sex worker if you don't want to be raped, don't be lgbtqia+ if you don't want to be raped, and more than anything, don't be a woman. It's a reality for men as well, but most rapists are men, and most "victims" are women.
