Imagine A libertarian exercised his freedom by not masking on the subway and due to that gave Covid to an older passenger who later died, depriving him of right to life.

How could we ever have seen that different individuals’ rights can conflict?! Impossible! Couldn’t be imagined! it’s morally inexcusable. How impolite of peoples rights to not all be compatible 100% of the time. Life shouldn’t be nuanced like that! It’s inexcusable. Wait that’s awkward, apparently that’s one of the core tenets of libertarianism alongside the core logic that giving an inch is the same as giving a light year in terms of principles.

I don’t take libertarianism seriously because of blatant things like that usually being core to proponents. I struggle to even believe they believe there arguments.

I just want to vent about something bank-related, and hopefully bait someone to tell me how this solves it. Or something else solves it.

Have you ever heard how you could pay off your mortgage a lot quicker by making bi-weekly payments instead of monthly? Or how you can include extra with your payment and instruct your bank to apply it directly to the premium, helping you reduce your interest?

TLDR, I think people giving this advice haven’t tried applying it.

Well, I wanted to do that - but in practice I found it near impossible to accomplish. First - any form of electronic bill-pay is right out of the window, because any extra payments or amount - the bank will apply as pre-paying your next scheduled payment, which means you are pre-paying not just principal, but the interest as well. Why would anyone want to do that? The bank helpfully told me that “some people maybe are going on vacation and will be away when the bill is due”. Yeah…

You can try to submit a paper invoice with special instructions by postal mail. Then it may or may not work. I don’t know if it’s incompetence or outright customer-hostile behavior from the bank, but this method succeeded only some of the time. You have to follow up by phone to find out and even so making any corrections after the fact is difficult and requires multiple call transfers and waiting on hold.

This is a cool idea for sure...as a dev I'll definitely take a look at the API docs.

That said, are you a tad worried about the future of "fintech apps"? It seems like a lot of the revenue growth in this space was heavily related to ZIRP and/or super low rates in the preceding few years, which made these apps more attractive to consumers. So, is there an existential worry that the success of the apps that will build on top of your bank is too closely tied to potentially unrealistic Fed policy?

Yeah we need more pardons not less, and we need blanket laws that forbid making hiring, etc decisions based on convictions (AND forbid lawsuits around hiring) more than X years ago.

What is disturbing about taking a loan out using an asset as collateral?
That and sometimes chords/notes could be labeled either flat or sharp. I thought that was really an annoying ambiguity until it suddenly made a whole lot more sense--there are 7 letters for a reason; in a given key, we generally want to use all 7 letters to describe the scale tones, instead of repeating one. I think the same goes here, knowing what key the song is in tends to suggest certain chord spellings over others.

The TAM for pro audio equipment was around $10 billion and growing when I left working in it a few years ago. One of the reasons the market is so terrible for manufacturers is that their own products on the secondary market cannibalize future sales, which puts a damper on demand. It's great for professionals that can afford the high prices and buy stuff that last decades, but not great for an industry that needs to make new sales each year and develop future products. There's always cool stuff to build and develop, don't get me wrong, it's just not worth a ton of money which means that development times are long, prices stay pretty high for the good stuff, and talent is constantly siphoned by other markets (for example: consumer loudspeakers and AR/VR products: Apple/Google/Facebook/Amazon have been on hiring sprees for audio hardware/software developers for the last decade)

Over the last decade there was a growth in new products, but there's a lot of crap. There was also a lot of consolidation and acquisition because audio hardware manufacturing is such an expensive thing to do for a small market, particularly on the high end.
He can always borrow it, too. Tesla is a volatile stock, but if he's not borrowing a huge percentage of his stake, he should be able to use it as collateral. Then he can sell later to pay it off when the timing is right.
So none of your requirements match up with AWS services. Of course it's not going to be a great match in that case, right?

If you need 'some random compute and a bit of networking' then no, do not use AWS.

Vendor neutrality isn't worth match to a business unless you are the EFF or intend to move vendors all day long.

You don't need AWS or any other cloud for volume (traffic volume, that is), heck I'd say stay away from the clouds for volume since that is where the bulk of your money disappears anyway.

At dayjob we have a "commit queue" server. When a patch is accepted on Gerrit, there is a button to send it to the queue. The queue cherry-picks the commit onto the current master branch, makes several builds (different configs) and runs tests. If everything is ok, it pushes the commit to master and marks the patch on Gerrit as merged. If any of the builds or tests fail, it doesn't push the change and instead makes a comment on Gerrit with a link to the broken build/test.

So all commits are made sequentially, but most of the time developers don't need to rebase them themselves before pushing. The time distribution of commits sent to the queue is non-uniform, so you may have a long queue during the day, but by late evening it's pretty much empty. It has the greatest number of commits on Fridays.

You hit the nail on the head. I love the physical build, performance, and overall quality. I also feel very comfortable in MacOS, I don’t like how Windows renders fonts, and I could just never get into Ubuntu.

In my case, I went from a 2015 to a 2019 MacBook Pro. I recognize there were significant keyboard issues in between those years, but my 2019 machine works very well. The only thing is it gets very hot when I’m compiling code. But for the most part I don’t use it on my lap, and this specific issue doesn’t bother me ad much as having a cheaper keyboard, lower quality display, etc.

I know you're not the GP, but please give some specific examples of such workloads, I honestly want to know.

To be clear, yes, it's well-known that the kernel will page out rarely used stuff, but those are (almost by definition) pages that are basically never written to. The claim was that writes to swap occur all the time, to the point where they wear out the SSD, that seems to be something different.

At least I've never seen anything like that with any of my (workstation) workloads, like large C++ builds, TensorFlow experiments, or running lots of virtual machines. And that was only with 64 GiB RAM, not even the 512 GiB that the post I replied to mentioned.
Tesla has replaced two million gasoline cars with electric cars, and given its current growth rate, this number will likely be massively larger in a few years.

Musk has since long ago pursued a publically disclosed plan for Tesla, for the company to release progressively more affordable electric vehicles, so the current growth rate in number of vehicles sold could very well be sustained for years to come.

Beyond Tesla's own sales, its success has sparked massive investment by other carmakers to push their electric vehicle manufacturing timetables forward. There is no reasonable case to be made that Tesla has not had a massive impact on pushing the world to replace gasoline vehicles with electric ones. And most people consider that to be good for the environment, even if you now don't.
Color vision is much more complicated and “RGB” doesn’t work the way than most people think it does.

The spectral response of the L and M cones mostly overlaps and our perception of color relies heavily on “adversarial” transformations in the brain.

The result is a very different effective spectral response superficially resembling RGB bandpass filters except the red channel takes negative values (!) at some wavelengths:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space

The negative values can be thought of as requiring additional anti-red (green+blue) to render the correct color.

The CIEXYZ color space was invented to address the negative values and also conveniently separate luminance from color information. It is widely used today to do color space transformations since it represents standard human color vision in a reasonably convenient and intuitive way.

On a side note, wide band RGB or Bayer filters used in digital cameras are a poor match for the CIE 1931 standard observer effective band pass filters (even ignoring the negative red values). They would result in low saturation colors if mapped directly to a full-gamut RGB colorspace. Conveniently or coincidentally they work well when directly mapped to a limited gamut sRGB color space. Narrower bandpass filters approximating the CIE1931 curves look correct when mapped to a wide gamut like rec.2020. The point is you cannot make simple assumptions about RGB colors at any point in the process.

The biggest problem we have today however is many systems are not aware of colorspaces and assume that RGB values are an absolute and invariant encoding of color.
For a long time this always felt awkward to me but I was never able to pin-point exactly what was wrong. Then I found georgism, with its claims of not needing any income and capital gains taxes, and it was even harder to quantify.

But I think now I've been able to work it out. There's actually two different types of loans but we treat them equally. The first is the nice type, the 'I built a factory, used that factory to pay back the loan with interest', that loan is a positive sum loan, the company wins, the bank wins, and the community wins. The second are loans for land, loans for stock, and other similar loans - these are zero-sum loans. The company can win, the bank can win, but someone is losing, and as is the community.

And so the real problem with this if you track how the money flows - a possible scenario is that a company might take out a bond, use the money for that bond to buy its own stock. The people who sold that stock and got that money might then go out and buy a house, the people who sold that house - you betcha, put that stock into an index fund, which includes a larger and larger share of the companies buying their own shares. Now that their share price is raised, they have more equity, and can once again take out another bond to do it again. It's a positive feedback loop. Each cycle is inflating the bubble. Valuations end up not being based on actual productivity, but on assumptions as to how money will flow through the markets.

We're at a stage now that the stock market flows of funds is only positive because of the stock buybacks. Companies that aren't buying back their stocks are going out of business. The Russel 5000 is getting punished despite the s&p recovering. We're at a stage now where north of 40% of all money is being held behind passive flows. We're now seeing the consequences of that with things like Netflix - when the stock does drop, it drops quickly and massively. Average volatility might be down considerably, but peak volatility is up massively.

Lots of powerchords in pop too. "powerchord", to me at least, implies that there is a distortion effect somewhere in the signal chain. Powerchords on their own sounds really weak.

So I’ll transition next month to Linux because I need stronger work station and my 2019 MacBook Pro is not enough. I’m preparing myself, I live mostly in cmd anyway but I’m on the fence if I should choose Manjaro or Ubuntu. I’m okay with spending some amount of time to learn and configure my environment properly.

I'm more talking about lobbying and the pernicious effects of a legal system modifiable by the elites. You can surely see that the rich and elite in society have written tax laws, property (IP, copyright) laws, employment laws, and complicated everything enough that the legal system is pretty directly pay to win.

I think the online giant platforms are another problematic avenue of control, I don't object to that characterization, but I'm really saying that saying "other's money is none of your business" can't be a good-faith statement in a world where money can control livelihoods and laws with such ease.
Musk doesn't control society, neither does twitter. If electrifying the cars of the western world affords someone the insane wealth required to... buy an internet forum... that seems like a fairly reasonable level of control over capital allocation to me.

It's an interesting take, I wonder if the argument hinges on USB-C not having market penetration everywhere. For example I (Canada not Brazil) have mostly USB-A wall chargers, with only one USB-C charger that came with my phone. If Apple had chose to give a USB-C to USB-A cable while not providing a wall charger, would the case still stand?
It's even technically more amusing (a pre-approval letter is just the bank saying eh probably we can do this; it's not even required) - the seller will say "We will sell if you have the money", the bank will say "we will give the money if the house is worth X and you have Y downpayment, you will say "I have Y down payment if the bank will give me the money" and the appraiser will say "I think the house is worth X+1-5% (it is always just above the amount needed)".

Then you get a form of a financial standoff where each party checks that they're getting what they want, and you escrow/sign everything.
It's great that these things are getting more and more realistic and less handwavy. You still see the occasional rogue AI scrolling WordPress source code on a screen but it's always a delight when little details have love and thought put into them. I even know a guy who was a chess consultant on a Hollywood film recently, to ensure they used realistic positions that weren't embarrassing on close inspection (scenes got cut though, sadly).
They already do audio watermarking like this and it can be annoyingly audible, it sounds kind of like a warbling or volume variation noticeable on sustained notes. At first I thought it was Youtube compression and then I started noticing the same thing in other streaming services. I switched to listening through subscription services offering HD audio which is watermarked differently in a way I can't hear.
I think stackexchange.com has those subforums nailed down. I agree that the subreddits would have more control by moving elsewhere, but they'd lose almost all of their users.

I feel the reason here is more a strategic one than a technology one - at least these days. For products that rely heavily on mobile or mobile is the main platform then it makes sense to remove an extra party between you and your customers so new OS features or upstream bugs don't first need to be addressed by the React Native or Flutter teams. The fact that there's really only two platforms makes the decision process much easier. I tend to recommend this approach to clients too, if your business is all mobile - build a native app and pick whichever platform is dominant in your market first. If you're adding a mobile offering to an existing CRUDish product then it might make more sense to go cross-platform.
I am able to add additional premium payments to my payment, or as a separate payment, via my online mortgage payment site.

It sounds like the bank/site your loan is under is actively hostile towards such payments. I don't know enough about mortgages to know how to help you solve your side, though.
