My understanding is that Stripe billing can be managed completely no-code from the Stripe dashboard? And I think it includes automatic tax, prorations etc.
Exactly. Everyone thinks there will be black smoke, but actually plastic burns very clean in a proper incinerator.
Plastic waste should be burned for heat and/or electricity in an incinerator. Every other usage/disposal method seems like a waste to me. Instead of burning fossil fuels directly, we get much more value from them if we first turn it into some plastic product, and only then burn it. And as long as we keep burning fossil fuels for heat and power, let's not wate out attention on recycling (downcycling actually) plastics as we can much better burn the old and make fresh new plastic from the fossil fuels we didn't have to burn because of that.

When we are not relying on fossil fuels anymore for heat and power (which is hopefully sooner than later), only then we need to start looking into plastic recycling
I think from the IRS' perspective, they wanted to reach a NIST-certified level of identity verification (NIST 800-63A IAL2 [1]), and there is no governmental service which offered the ability to do that[2], so they went to a private company.

I have a lot of notes around this whole dustup; it's my opinion that:

- The IRS acted in good faith trying to secure its website in the best way possible

- It's very unfortunate that the US government at the same time promotes a particular standard, but does not provide a service matching that standard and seems to currently have no plans to do so

[1]: https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-3/sp800-63a.html

[2]: login.gov is IAL1 but not IAL2 compliant; IAL2 compliance requires biometric verification and login.gov does not do this. I also think the IRS had concerns around scaling login.gov, but that the lack of biometric verification was decisive[3]

The current fed funds rate is 1% (0.75-1.0)

the next 2 meetings they plan to raise it by 0.5 each meeting. and then 0.25 each meeting after that until inflation is gone.

in 2019 they started lowering it because they crashed the market by raising it to 2.5. which proves the point

trajectory matters alot.
100% this. I have become better about not nixing projects I am working on when I hit technical walls recently. My strategy has basically become to just do the bare minimum to test whether an idea is good or not and if it sucks I will at least have fulfilled my intellectual curiosity and then I can stop being distracted by that idea.

For example, I am currently working on a project to send personalized slack messages in bulk. But I then became really interested in the idea of automatic podcast transcription using GPT-3. So I ended up just one night banging out a prototype on jupyter notebook and it turns out the auto transcription was pretty bad and expensive, but at least I know now. So now I don't feel as bad and I can focus on the boring aspects of building this slack plugin, like accepting payments.
It'd be nice if I never had to use software with bugs in it but that's hardly realistic.

That's one of the biggest problems. You have to build something that is better than Google, at least to a certain subset of users that makes them ecstatic about the alternative.

So far all I've seen is shittier versions with terrible UI(you.com), or exact low-risk copycats going at it with the privacy angle.
To get a DPO registration you must show both historical ties to the region and a specific regional method. There is a quality control board. Probably some of it is puffery; some of it is quite precise.

Hmm, that's interesting. What kind of inference workload requires more than the 48GB of memory you'd get from 2 3090s, for example? I'm genuinely curious because I haven't ran across them and it sounds interesting
> I tried to help set a relative up a while back to receive his payments, which required authenticating with ID.me.

Isn't it weird for the US to rely on public services that are managed on the TLD (.me) of a foreign country?

I see the same stupidity with my own country's government where they use independent domain names for every service rather than a single, high value namespace (ex: gov.TLD). I guess I should just be happy they use our country's TLD. Lol.
That would be a shame. FairEmail has been the best mobile client I've used. But I absolutely empathize with the dev.
Between overreaching parents and parents who make it known that you are a despised blight on their life, hearing anecdotes about parents who seem to care so much about their children as to be an ever-present pest in their ear sounds completely foreign.

Another comment brought up the idea of "no such thing as a free lunch" which essentially waters down the issue to that of "be grateful". You should be able to be self reliant while also able to attend college full time.

But the economic reality often pierces the veil of how unrealistic that scenario actually is when your parents refuse to spend a dime on you or your education.
The existence of a monopoly does not help the web.
Now in those days, we thought we had a bead on things. We thought they were tracking us through the vaccines, and organized to defend our freedoms.

But when the true scale of privacy erosion became apparent in 2022, we were horrified and helpless.

You see, it was the cheese all along...

I understand that the pits, that are the foundation of landfills, are lined with impermeable plastic sheets. Their purpose is to avoid ground-water contamination. So, there may be some redesign of landfills required before this technology can succeed.
If I ever become a manager I was hoping to actually institute a rule like this as a policy for people I manage. Obviously an emergency or deadline would take precedence. But I thought it would generate a lot of good will and respect if you actually gave people dedicated hours out of their week (and ideally funding or access to learning materials) specifically to work on a project of their choosing or take a class / learn material of their choosing. Would not have to be work related at all (although of course it could be) and there would be no expectation of return what so ever.
Using a complex programming language makes it easier to do complex things. But what if you don't want to do something complex? Turns out that simple things become complex with a complex programming language. The best way to get to a simple solution is to use simple tools in a simple way.

I probably made the mistake of making it too complicated already. I'll go back at some point and strip most of it out.
Yes literally impossible to take something in a format legal in the US, that doesn't match the foreign requirements, based on European testimony above (the exact truth of which IDK).

Informal tax-evading (when the seller isn't evading, just the buyer) doesn't require personal contacts. This is just naïve thoughtless statement. It happens all the time. Example: business owner goes to Panama where they know no one. Buys a pallet of llama wool, seller gives a non-conforming receipt. Buyer goes back to France, imports the pallet as "cotton" and creates a fake invoice showing the Panamanian sold cotton. Seller then sells llama wool on the streets for cash, marking in the books that they sold "cotton" for significantly less. They then use the on-the-books "cotton" proceeds to buy a shit-wagon car or something, and fix it using the unrecorded cash on the side. They sell the now nice shit-wagon and record the proceeds as profit. Now all the money for the llama wool is accounted for.

Cross country tax-evading is only assured in this case to require personal contacts when the tax evading happens on _both_ sides. When it only happens on the EU side, there's no need for personal contacts on the US side.

I disagree. If copyright exists, its term shouldn't be tied to anyone's life at all.

Let's say I produce a copyrighted work, and immediately sell the rights to that work to you. Why should the value of your purchase depend on how long I live? Should the work produced by a 20 year old be more valuable than the work produced by a 70 year old because the 20 year old is less likely to drop dead and end their work's copyright?
Regulating Orbital Debris
Please define environmentally neutral. Because alcohol will just oxidize into water and CO2.

Do you want to just sequester the Carbon? Something very environmentally neutral would be .... plastic. Anything biodegradable would eventually become CO2 and water.

Best option is to burn it and capture the energy for a useful purpose, instead of letting that energy be wasted when it biodegrades.
That was exactly my experience as well! I was beyond frustrated.

Unfortunately I had to do this just to PAY MY TAXES since I had received some unemployment benefits and the relevant form was gated behind my Dept of Labor acct that had, of course, been long since locked due to scam attempts.
I see building or implementing these kind of systems as "discovering" use cases for given scenarios/customers/markets. That's why "billing" is almost too generic - instead "billing for telco in South American markets" - is more useful because those verticals have specific sets of use-cases and challenges.
Very useful advice, something I wish I would have kept in mind sooner!
Oh no! A secret delight is to cut the leftover rind in reasonably safe pieces and abundantly microwave them. Once cooled down they become deliciously crunchy and puffy.
It's a bend of the scenario if the judge is skimming and not paying close attention. This "pushes the limit".

It's a break of the scenario if they didn't go in with the goal of detecting fakery. This makes it useless as a "Turing test".
If you need that noted, I'm worried.

It's an expression that I thought most people would understand, but to make it abundantly clear: I do not think that Krebs is executing people. Nor do I think he has the legal training to be a judge. He might have been on a jury before, I'm not sure.

I am using it as an expression to state that he is taking upon himself the task that is normally reserved for either LEA and/or the court system, which is ascribing guilt.
You might be taking this to an extreme. There are standard definitions of colours, and we've got reasonable ways to compare screens side by side to see how many colours they can reproduce. While humans can differentiate between a large number of colours, we usually think of them only in the terms of named ones (and no, I am not talking of "aubergine").

The GP was talking about using whatever "DIN norms for workspaces" regarding screen brightness are, so I don't see how that relates to colour calibration.

You also sound as if any one end user really cares if they are looking at exactly the right hue of blue when looking at the "hp" logo. If anything, the company and their marketing department care (for subliminal messaging?), but users really don't. I don't think anyone could pick a McDonald's red or yellow out of a given table of similar red/yellow hues.

But even so, if we were looking at any non-light-emitting content displaying colour (eg. a printout), it will look differently to your eye whether you are looking at it in dim light or in a very light setting, so designer can't do anything about that.

Anyone who knows even the most basic stuff about colour perception understands that it can't be decoupled from your environment (enter a darkroom and every colour is suddenly... black).

Colour calibration and standards are done so that you can guarantee that some things will look identical when displayed in exactly the same environment (so your two screens sitting next to each other show the same hues) or to reproducibly transfer between different mediums (eg. screen and paper), but there is no way you can guarantee that it will look identical for another user in a different environment.

Colour calibration is of limited use in general (eg. even different types of paper [think glossy vs matte] will produce different visual results), and while there's more stability with light-emitting mediums (like LCD screens) — because you, essentially, control some of the lightning as well — that breaks down for the average user because they do need to adjust the brightness according to their environment. Those who absolutely require reproducibility, control both their environment and their equipment.
How about they start by publishing official EOL/support dates for their operating system software? Which is a basic expectation of any bordering-on-competent IT department so they can perform advance planning. But I guess that would upturn the apple cart (no pun intended) of the culture of secrecy.

This is why Apple will continue to be a failure in any IT department larger than a startup. The only reason MacOS is supported in larger businesses is because the whiny graphics department would riot if they took their Macs away. And I don't want to hear "but I do all my software development on a Mac!!!1!" Yeah, in an unmanaged configuration on your rogue developer box, sure, whatever. No one is running thousands of Macs outside Apple and if they are they're not doing it without many third-party system management kludges and an army of people to support it. And the whole thing hangs on by a thread.

Apple's enterprise support is a joke and will continue to be unless there are major changes. Even Linux and FreeBSD (!) are better at this.

>> Anecdotally, they have gone above and beyond what was required or expected, for me, many times, including helping out when products were out of warranty.

Absolutely, from replacing an entire water-damaged MacBook (with a minor spec boost on the upgrade, even!) - to simply handing me a new identical iPhone when I went in for a screen repair - etc, etc...I can honestly say that Apple's incredible customer service is a huge part of the reason I still use their products nearly 20 years after I bought my first one.
I wonder what the potential harm to infrastructure would be if this bacteria were to escape landfills / remediation sites and happen to get into places where PET is used in something important.

Not that I'm against finding ways to _actually_ recycle or break-down plastics, just it seems like something we need a microscope to see might be hard to keep track of.

Focus on the wear spots, like door jams and window sills. Lead paint is fine as long as you keep it in good condition, but its hard to keep it in good condition if parts are rubbing against eachother.

Also, the standard for contractors is to assume your paint has lead in it if the house was built before the late '70s. Even testing a whole house for lead paint is extremely expensive, and there's no central registry of lead results, so you're gonna have to test over, and over, and over.

For water, just to add some extra safety, we installed a reverse osmosis water filter system for our refrigerator hookup, and removed the standard refrigerator one.
Python:

def f(x):
return x * x;
v=0.0
for i in range(100000000):
v = v + f(i)

Execution time: 15 seconds

---

JavaScript:

function f(x) { return x * x; }
var v = 0.0;
for(var i = 0; i < 100000000; i++) v += f(i);

Execution time: 0.5 seconds

---

So calling a function in a for loop in Python is still 30x slower than in JavaScript which is an as-dynamic language. Good to see a 24% increase, but a 3000% increase should still be possible.

I did this test in python 3.10, not python 3.11, but I assume if they did have a 30x speedup from the inlined python to python function calls this would have been mentioned, but the fastest speedup listed is 1.96x faster.

Yeah, didn't gorhill already say that uBlock Origin will never be ported to Manifest v3 due to how much he'd have to cripple it?

That means that very soon all Chrome (and Edge) users will no longer have uBlock Origin, and Firefox will be the only way to run it officially.

This could be a pretty decent value prop for Firefox (bigger than the random features Mozilla has been pushing recently IMO)... Although I'm sure the majority of less technical Chrome users will just switch to whatever gimped, Chrome-sanctioned declarativeNetRequest ad-blocking extensions spring up to fill the void.
The position of Unionists is “nothing less than full Sovereignty.”

In the past that’s meant they were fully part of the UK in the same sense and Scotland, Wales, and England.

Of course, that doesn’t mean much now.

Scotland, Wales, and England all have very different relationships with the UK.

But none of the other “nations” of the UK are anywhere near being condominiums.

I suppose that might be one reading, though IMO the battery, jack, and card slot have just been replaced by more bells and whistles like more/fancier cameras, biometric sensors, NFC, and other gobbledygook that was more important to someone than being able to plug into the cassette adapter in my car. Not exactly what I think of when I hear "nothing left to take away."

We're working on making the quoting process simpler indeed.
What we've learnt that the only companies that can afford a proper quoting system are enterprises: they implement Salesforce CPQ (configure price quote) or Zuora. They are mostly sales-driven, so the investment is worth it.

But it does not make sense for PLG companies, who start with self-serve and layer sales afterwards: the investment is not worth it, and it creates 2 different systems: self-serve and sales-driven billings, not great for the user experience (and for the internal processes!)

There is no possibility of fusion becoming competitive. A fusion plant would cost at least 10x fission, and fission is itself very far from competitive. As costs for renewables continue falling, that target gets always further out of reach.

Centrifugal storage could be useful for a few seconds, perhaps to smooth over sudden spikes. But it has been well-understood for over a century, and not used yet, so that is unlikely to change.

Natural gas and other fossil fuels are the problem we are trying to solve, so they cannot count as part of a solution. For the present, NG must be used when renewables fall short, because any storage we built out now would have to be charged up from fossil fuels anyway, as renewables do not exceed demand yet.

Practical storage will turn out to be based on an eclectic mix of air pressure (underground or undersea), liquified nitrogen, chemical synthesis (hydrogen, ammonia), hydro (conventional pumped surface, and underground and undersea variations), plus some small amount of batteries (liquid metal, iron). The first few are attractive because they are compatible with existing gas furnaces. Hydro is attractive because it is very mature. Chemical synthesis is attractive because once local tankage is full, any surplus power generated can be turned into revenue, and any shortfall in storage can be made up by importing more.

One more possibility is subsea buoyancy; an air bladder or rigid air tank is drawn toward a pulley anchored to the sea floor, yielding power when it is allowed to rise again.
