An early bird's stake in a "valid" investment carries with it properties that have changed over time from the moment of their initial investment other than the market value itself.

While the early bird cashing out a ~1500% profit of Amazon stock that they bought 10 years ago also depends on someone else buying-in, there is something intrinsically different between what an Amazon share in 2012 and an Amazon share in 2022 actually mean. The same is the case if they had bought IBM stock instead, and were now cashing out at a loss of ~35%. Their values now reflect the businesses as they stand today, as well as future expectations of what Amazon, IBM, and their respective markets will be like in the future.

The decision whether to invest or divest in each of them today can be argued with hypothetical if-then thoughts. If you are more convinced than the average shareholder that Amazon will be hurt by the epidemic of fake products and reviews, unionisation of its warehouse workers, and stiffer cloud competition, then you will think it is overvalued and may sell. If you believe IBM's research in quantum computing will be a game-changer, then you may believe it is undervalued and buy. And so on.

Compare that to the difference between 1 BTC in 2012 and 1 BTC in 2022. Other than the impressive increase in how much somebody is willing to pay for them, what has changed between 1 BTC in 2012 and 1 BTC in 2022? What if-then arguments regarding the future might be reasoned to believe that the value will increase or decrease, other than "someone will be willing to buy it from me at a greater/smaller price than I paid"?
Our Confluence is working fine and as far as I know has been working fine all week - no one has mentioned it in slack or anything, which I would expect.

I think Atlassian are probably not helping themselves by calling the number of customers "small" rather than saying the actual number or specifying a percentage of total customers.
>You'd think the NRA would be all over this: a legal gun owner killed in his home by police? Nope [2]. I wonder why.

The NRA is horribly corrupt and self serving. It seems many organizations have come to this demise in the US the past few decades. I've heard of many gun owners abandon them.

>Let's also compare to Kyle Rittenhouse. Attorneys wanted to use the fact that one of his victims was a sex offender as a defense [3].

I assume it's a tactic to show he was a "bad guy," which was used to prove that Rittenhouse wasn't the initial aggressor. I believe the person in question had also been discharged from a mental facility that day and had quite a few issues with the law.

>I bring this up because I want to highlight the different worlds people live in when it comes to law enforcement.

While I completely agree with what you are saying, there are many different law enforcement organizations in the US (each city/town has one) and in those departments there are many different officers. Some of those organizations are highly corrupt and shouldn't exist and some of those officers are highly corrupt and shouldn't be employed or be jailed.

Having said that, any organization that tries to cover up the actions of a bad officer shouldn't exist and is part of the problem.

All of this is the result of the 50+ year drug war our government has been waging against its citizens.
I am curious, if not too personal, would you mind sharing what do you plan on working on?
Alright sure, I guess so. Neither of us have any hard data to back up our opinion so I guess it turns into a debate of feelings, which will lead neither of us anywhere.

What I do know is that as of May 2021 there were 665,380 police officer employed in the US, and trying to generalize all of them in any way based on a few highly edited videos is absolutely not a valid approach given the standard practices in data science and statistics. Given that the US generalized crime rate
is 47.70 per 100,000 it's reasonable to argue that unless there is evidence showing otherwise, police officers also fit roughly into that same distribution and therefore would be "mostly good" (as defined by law), as most people are.

Well put! I think a lot of people need to hear this.
People are very inventive to get their job done.

If we're going to be serious about reducing carbon emissions we need to end "cap and trade" and simply apply "cap" to everyone, celebrities and politicians included with no exceptions. If we cannot commit to that level of reducing carbon I have wonder if this isn't a trading scheme masquerading as an environmental cause.
There is probably a space-time trade off that needs to be explored in this space. It might be possible to preload the some of the most likely tokens to be selected next into the cache and/or RAM. These are glorified auto-complete algorithms that are poorly understood, as DeepMind's optimizations appear to show. For the English language, it is probable that there are only so many possible grammatically correct selections for the next token, for example.
Quite interesting. I though this would be about DART (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Analysis_and_Replannin...), but I take it that this is more about front line stuff.

This comment and the reply look highly inorganic to me, so take their recommendations with a pinch of salt.
The statement there isn't "All police are bad and out of control all over the country" but rather whether you should perceive that possibility as threatening enough to seriously affect your possible actions i.e. whether stopping in a non-dangerous place (as opposed to stopping immediately and staying put) is permissible. And if there's a 1-in-100 chance of a police being unreasonable, then that definitely is a too high of risk.
> And if there's a Stripe equivalent from Estonia I have yet to find it, despite all the promotion their government does around "e-residency".

That would be Xolo.io - but you really don't need a Stripe equivalent in Estonia or most places to incorporate. Registering a company is not that hard most places. I wouldn't recommend Estonia because you still need to open a business bank account for your new entity, that's the hard part.

You don't need a C corp for a project like OP. He would want a bog standard LLC which is fiscally transparent for U.S. tax purposes. It gets more conveluted if he himself is not from the US as it would be treated differently by different countries.

The current circumstances are from seibelj's comment "you become rich by providing value to other people", where "value" is specifically something which provides economic wealth.

Gaining wealth by being the child of a wealthy person is not something specific to capitalism, certainly happened in feudal monarchies, and almost certainly also happened with the children of high level apparatchiks in the Soviet Union.

SQLite has a powerful data-validation function for each column, look for CHECK Constraints:
https://www.sqlite.org/lang_createtable.html

But the real nice thing is that SQLite will allow spreadsheet-like behaviour by allowing one to enter an invalid data type. I could check that in Python or I can store it and warn "Invalid type blah blah blah". This will make life easier for those coming from a spreadsheet, or importing data. As the program matures, I can reevaluate what to do with invalid data as a default and what options to give the user.

Additionally, because SQLite allows arbitrary data in any column, adding support for e.g. formulae is greatly simplified.
I'm not saying this applies to him (we weren't in those audition rooms), but a lot of child actors dramatically lose acting skills as they get older. There is something in child acting that makes their lines believable with relatively little effort, which then disappears with age. Grown-up actors have to work harder to achieve believability, and some child actors never manage to. Casting directors will inevitably count this sort of phenomenon against ex-child actors. Maybe without those bumps in the road, he would not have put enough effort in the craft to actually reach this quality.

Blockchain maximalists make the same mistake over and over again, to the point that I think they're doing so intentionally: the main problem isn't that we have malicious actors manipulating records, it's that records are incorrect, incomplete, or become stale. Blockchain technology does absolutely nothing to address the real problem.
>The percentages are higher for Black Americans, but White Americans still make up the majority of people shot by police[1].

Yes I never understood this tactic. If you really want citizen support (which is required), you need to show that all citizens are subject to this type of injustice. If leaders just say one group is affected and don't show that all citizens are affected, you won't get change as fast, if at all.

It's almost as if there is an ulterior motive to actually solving the problem, or perhaps the leadership just won't look past their own environment. Either way, the shiz is way out of hand and everyone should be afraid of it.

I remember reading an article where police were serving a warrant and they straight up shot the guy next to his pregnant girlfriend through the window while they were sleeping. They justified it by saying the room was boobytrapped. The guy was staying at his parents house when this occurred. It was very suspect, but I never saw national media attention it deserved, and I find it highly unlikely a kid living with his parents would place a active, lethal booby trap in his bedroom inside his parent's house. It was an actual murder squad. Pretty crazy. I wish I could find the article (it was local.)
I think Go modules version resolution opting for lowest common release rather than the standard highest is a reasonable and sane option though not a total solution. It prevents users of your library from pulling unvetted versions of your dependencies just by pulling your library alone.
Well this does not mean that some mechanisms similar to those we are studying cannot be part of the original or that they cannot be part of a General Intelligence system. Even if that were simply "adjusting a structure to function and information retention". The very "compositional" nature of the perceived that makes Convolutional ANNs work was noted after biomimicry.

This, of course, as an aside.
There are many things that keep me away from bitcoin:

1. It doesn't seem to be useful for buying things. It takes a long time to complete a transaction, and it's surprisingly traceable.

2. It's not a stable place to store money

3. There are many, many, scams

4. People get robbed all the time, even from the most popular services like "coinbase." (I just learned about a few of the coinbase security holes from https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/112/ )
> there is something about this letter

It's the self-importance of a company which I only just realised isn't just a GitHub repo somehow thinking they need to write a letter longer than Kurt Cobain's suicide note to tell me that they got acquired by some other bland-as-fuck open-core company.

All we needed to hear was:

> Hi, I'm the CEO of Puppet. Yeah, that thing you use to do stuff in Chrome with code. Yeah, yeah, we're a company, yup, somehow. Anyway: we're getting acquired by this other company. They're called Perforce. No, you don't know them either. Yeah, they also have some indecipherable enterprise website with some Gartner Quadrant bollocks on it. No, you don't really need to know any of this.

Edit: Fuck, that's Puppeteer. OK, I just have no idea what this company does. Oh well.
Going to piggyback off this comment to ask - does anyone know a lightweight GUI tool to edit/modify SharePoint Lists? Only way I ever found was through the browser which is painful on large data.
I wouldn't go with just the gas tax, but yes, ideally we would internalize all externalities via taxation.

I'm certainly in favor of that, but my point is not "we should subsidize everything equally" so much as "pay attention to one-sided demands for self-sufficiency".

(To the extent that it's viable, I think "equal" subsidies would lead to a better outcome and uneven subsidues, since it would allow the market to sort out the most efficient way to meet people's desires, but I'm not sure that's even remotely possible.)
This token system requires changing code, why not extend package.json with a declared list of permissions instead?

> Is it uncommon to use dedicated VMs for development for this very reason?

... or on the production deployment's computer (which presumably is also "your" computer, and has a similar set of problems). (... or, if you go there, in production inside a VM, but in the same context and with access to everything from and all the memory and capabilities as the rest of the code you wrote, such as access to networking and the database or arbitrary CPU utilization.)
It's hard to make it practical without linking a whole lot of your local environment in. Remember it's death by a thousand cuts - every time you need some new thing, you just add it without considering the consequences too much. Probably lots of people doing this with their whole home directory linked in read/write.

Recently I got a little concerned about this and made myself a basic safety harness with the bubblewrap[1] tool: rather then going all out, I just lock the mount namespace to readonly for everything except the directory I execute it in. Which is at least some protection against system mods or wide-spread home directory destruction.

What's a lot more of a problem is trying to protect truly vital files - i.e. SSH keys and the like - which are also things you're likely to have bound into your VM anyway. selinux is a much better solution there (but so hard to administer as to be almost useless, though I do really like Fedora's default scopes and have used them successfully).

the crux of crdts is for solutions that don't want to use central always online sync backends, have a need to merge deep history not just pick a winner of a global latest state but are ok with losing some conflicting detailed information stored inside your data.

- if you can just pick a global winner for the object/document after diverging histories/ conflicts its much simpler to just pick a latest win strategy especially for simple data

- if you cannot lose conflicting detail information, crdts will not solve your problems and you most probably need to implement application specific conflict resolution. an example is someone renaming a todo from "create invoice summary 2019" to "create latest invoice summary 2023" and at the same time someone else setting the "create invoice summary 2019" as done. a crdt can consistently merge the changes but you might end up with a todo that is set to done and is called "create latest invoice summary 2023" which is a wrong result

If said bills are so well-known and all over the news, why not just link to one? This is HackerNews, if someone says "____ exists and it's a problem" and someone else politely asks "which ____ are you referring to?", the appropriate thing to do is to just reference the thing in question - we don't need to get pedantic about the range of one's media consumption.

I would be find what you wrote much more convincing if I didn't have sufficient knowledge of the Rittenhouse case to know you were deliberately misleading us by selectively presentating and omitting key facts.

1. You omit the defense's stated reasoning for bringing up Rosenbaum's prior convictions. Their theory was not "pedophiles bad kill pedophiles good." They wanted to argue that Rosenbaum lunged at Rittenhouse in order to take his firearm, because, as a convicted felon, Rosenbaum was not legally able to purchase that firearm. It was important that they show evidence that Rosenbaum had a pernicious motive to lunge at Rittenhouse, because the prosecution was alleging the only reason he did so was in self-defense.

2. More crucially, you omit the fact that the judge prevented his defense from mentioning these convictions in court for fear it would be prejudicial. Because of this, the jury never found out about Rosenbaum's extensive criminal history. [1] This craters the relevance of this example. It doesn't demonstrate any sort of double standard.

An open letter just means that it was addressed to some audience but distributed to the public. In this case, it seems that the letter may have been from the CEO to the company?
Throwing the adjective "Israeli" into the title is misleading as it suggest the state of Israel is somehow involved. The attackers used software from the NSO Group which sells to nations or entities willing to pay enough. Blaming Israel for this is like blaming Japan for all of the Toyota Hiluxes converted into gun platforms around the world.
What do you think you might do after coding? Management or a different field entirely? I've considered management but I also don't really want to deal with people bullshit, and I'm having a harder and harder time listening to bullshit business meetings in general, and I imagine there'd be a lot more of those.
Avoided emissions are a scam.

"Nature based" offsets aren't that much better. It is mainly "pay us or we'll cut down this forest" but there is a fundamental timing problem: you emitted one ton of CO2 yesterday, somebody else has to protect a forest forever to keep that CO2 trapped.

There are other schemes that claim to be low cost such as

https://www.vesta.earth/

that have the problem of not being measurable. Contrast that to other schemes that get 1% of the press coverage, such as the "gold standard" of injecting CO2 into saline aquifers

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S17505...

where you really can measure the gas going into the hole and can almost (but not quite) take it for granted that the CO2 will stay there for 10,000 years.
Pre-history humans weren't scientists who would've separated this test out from the rest of their lives. You're thinking too literally.

Pre-history humans would live close to their dogs. There likely wasn't a conscious "I'll give this to Fido, and if they're good in a bit, I'll eat the rest". Instead, a dog grabbed some scraps here or there, before or after the meal. If still hungry, the dog might wander around looking for more scraps and munch on what they find.

Eventually, the food you know you can eat runs out during a hard winter or other crisis, but you see Fido munching on some things like he always does. Maybe you'll munch on those things too. Congratulations, you've acquired enough calories to make it to the next genetic lottery!

Assuming the crisis is bad enough for you to experiment but not so bad for you to eat Fido, Fido survives until the next genetic lottery too! And so we have yet another co-evolutionary moment folded into our genomes.
