Reminds me of the ATF issuing Leathermans with "ATF Always Think Forfeiture" engraved on them.

Any forfeiture, or any supposed necessary violation of individual rights, should require investigation, and should cost the organization behind it, regardless of outcome. This may seem difficult to work, but incentivizing the opposite is completely absurd, and makes corruption inevitable.

to be fair, that is what the linked post is talking about :) so super-explicitly breaking things serves pretty much the same purpose, as long as you have attentive reviewers and/or tests that touch that code.
You could argue that the Confederacy actually started the Cotton Famine, on purpose.

Early on the Union blockade was essentially a paper blockade, and therefore of dubious international legality. There were laws regarding blockades, but those laws were fuzzy when it came to civil wars & a nation blockading their own ports. The Union would have been in violation of international law if the Confederacy were a recognized country, which would have given Britain and France a pretext to end the blockade by force. Early in the war, almost any European sea power (Britain especially) could have broken the Union Navy in a matter of hours.

The Confederate government imposed a cotton boycott to trigger economic turmoil in Britain especially (Britain was always their primary diplomatic target), which they felt would create enough political pressure in Parliament to spur recognition and a complete lifting of the blockade by the Royal Navy.

The economic problems in Britain were very real (triggering waves of emigration & from Lancashire & other towns that were cotton dependent) but the British largely worked around them. They retooled their factories to work with cotton from Egypt, India, and the East Indies. Workers found other jobs. Government relief. A lot of people suffered though.

The Confederates seriously underestimated the degree to which Britain and British politicians loathed slavery. Slavery stacked the deck against them diplomatically from the beginning. There were other geopolitical reasons (like Britain not wanting to risk Canada by sparking a conflict with the Union) but the British basically chose to suck it up and endure the cotton famine & economic depression because they wanted slavery gone, and America was one of the last major holdouts at that point.

Is this the norm in the US/SV?

Very skeptical of someone who switches every 2 years... you also become only really efficient after 6 - 18 months.. not only the code / legacy / wider system your stuff integrates with, but also socially knowing all the right people, context of all the bigger processes, a good chunk of domain knowledge ingrained??

So, you're okay with women being fired or denied govt benefits if they have an abortion.

What? You're not? But you said that they were different.

The difference is that one involves abortion while the other involves vaccines.

And yes, I'm going to argue meaning. There aren't any tautologies here.
Let's say my vehicle is stolen, and police find a vehicle at my neighbor's house with the identical make, model, and year but with the VIN sanded off. And this neighbor just so happens to operate a shipping company that specializes in shipping vehicles out of the country, but has never been convicted of anything criminal.

How would you say we should handle this scenario? We have a good reason to believe that the property is actually mine, and also that if it is not seized soon then it will be lost forever. (Since, as we all know, court rulings happen on much longer time scales.)

If you have an overly aggressive civil forfeiture law then the police can seize things when they shouldn't. But if you have none, then don't you hamstring law enforcement unnecessarily, and instead provide greater incentive for crime?
The same line of reasoning says that we should build conventional light- or heavy-water reactors. The risk is minimal. And they're (a) tested and (b) much cheaper than PACER.
Could you kindly point me/others to some info about this oath concept?

I mostly get pointed to Oauth stuff when searching for "oath sha256 nonce".
I say this is the most deranged take on this possible, but then again, humanity tends to surprise me.

Who is "the government" in this case? What power do they have over this person? The power to stop them from saving money? How is that power useful or desirable to anybody?
Thank you, I spent some time doubting my sanity about the RH version numbers.
The project was terminated because there were formidable technical issues, it wasn't economically profitable, and there was a real possibility of catastrophic failure that could not be mitigated.

It should be understood that the british empire was at the peak of economic dependence on the raw material coming from the "new world" at the onset of the civil war; in particular, cotton exports for consumption by british textile mills [1].

> By the late 1850s, cotton grown in the United States accounted for 77 percent of the 800 million pounds of cotton consumed in Britain. It also accounted for 90 percent of the 192 million pounds used in France, 60 percent of the 115 million pounds spun in the Zollverein, and 92 percent of the 102 million pounds manufactured in Russia.

One reason that there was support for the confederacy was the fear that the outcome of the war would lead to the end of access to abundant and cheap cotton (due to export duties, end of slavery, etc.).

One of the outcomes of the US Civil War was that the British Empire realized a need to "diversify" their sources, resulting in increasingly imperialistic behavior in India and Egypt, among others.

> I wouldn't say explicitly, but that is basically how most law lectures happen.

That's a qualitative difference.

For OP's prof, the students know from the beginning that if they catch the prof in a lie they "win the prize" per the explicit protocol. Even for a student like me who is reluctant to participate in such a lecture, I'd feel both a responsibility and a measure of safety in blurting out that I caught the prof in a lie!

For you, a critical mass of undergrads almost certainly didn't know how most law lectures happen. Maybe "arguing" with you gets them "the prize," but maybe it gets them in trouble, or just brings them more confusion, frustration, etc.

Or maybe-- just maybe-- this undefined behavior leads to a clever optimization that ends up deleting all their harddrives. (Sorry, I couldn't resist an undefined behavior joke.)
They actually want to detonate a H-Bomb every 45 minutes, all day every day. 32 nuclear explosions every day.

One does have to appreciate how these guys took anti-proliferation concerns with the nuclear industry and said "fuck it, everyone knows we're only doing this to make bombs, so lets make a shit ton of bombs". No more concerns about terrorists getting their hands on some yellowcake and making a dirty bomb. Now they have a full up H-Bomb factory moving so much product that security can get complacent.
this is really tough for people with disabilities, since a lot more stuff then depends on medicaid. An easy example, if you qualify for medicaid then you qualified for the emergency broadband benefit, which was good for 50/month off internet. Or more complex, you get a budget to spend on home health care workers, transportation, respite care, therapeutic activities, etc., go over and you lose thousands of dollars of services necessary to live. thats even ignoring the actual medical benefits of medicaid

able accounts that are listed have pretty big caveats. and are themselves confusing [like 529, you can buy them in any state, all with various fee structures]. the best course of action is to set up a special needs trust and able account and move money between them cause they each have different restrictions. but setting up a trust itself costs a couple thousand for the lawyers, which you arent allowed to save.

my sisters disabled, but luckily NJ has a program called workability that raises these limits if you have a job. otherwise its impossible to save.
If you've been involved in the stock market long enough you can recognize these corrections as excellent buying times. Sure, it hurts to lose money but the market can't go up forever. It's correcting, which means if you have a long timeline for investing now is an excellent time to get in. It's about a safe a bet as anything that in 20 years the market will be much higher than it is now -- and just like a house, you don't lose any money until you sell.
You seem to have got it backwards: When it's done by whites – or actually, anglophone whites – it's not even called immigration, because immigration is bad. When others, i.e. non-anglophone non-whites, do it, that is.
>I mean there's at least 750 thousand reasons now to believe that there is in fact something to report and that investigative journalists are now looking into what else there may be.

People have wanted to tear him down for years. I _really_ doubt there's anything else if upon the apex of his renouncing of democrats results in nothing more than allegations and hearsay.

I could be wrong... but I just don't see it happening.

Also, I fail to see how the Amber Heard stuff comes into play...
UBI is a concept not a policy. Sure the government could create a policy called "UBI" and literally anything could be in it.

For sure, holding tether (or any stablecoin) without investing it is pointless. It can't go up, but might go down. The only reason to hold it (longer than to do a transaction) is if you're making a return.
> Dropping about two bombs a day would cause the system to reach thermal equilibrium, allowing the continual extraction of about 2 GW of electrical power.

So the idea is to drop 2 nuclear bombs per day to get about as much energy as one gets from a pair of nuclear fission reactors? I seriously doubt that's cost-competitive with fission power.
This is what Netflix employees get for not unionizing. Netflix can fire pretty much anybody at their discretion, since claims of discrimination will have to be processed after the fact and they can afford to settle claims out of court as long as the stock price doesn't completely tank.
Roughly $50 billion has been spent globally on fusion research since the 1950s with nothing material to show for the effort; at what point do you stop throwing good money after bad? This strikes me as the learning from these posts.
Honestly, the miracle in wind and solar has already happened, or is happening right now, depending upon your perspective. There are literally hundreds of utility-scale wind and solar projects up for approval in the US right now, including solar in places well outside the sun belt. And rooftop solar is still rare in most places, largely because the utilities have successfully lobbied against net metering. I still think we'll need nuclear for at least another generation, but I see fossil fuels getting largely priced out of the generation market before this decade is out.
nobody believes this market manipulator
If the bigcos had any interest in this, they'd have created such a cert/license. At the very least, they wouldn't make candidates who'd previously passed their interviews, and perhaps those of similar companies, multiple times, do it again.

Since they haven't created a cert, and they do make people re-test, they're clearly doing it for purposes that aren't served by those actions.

For one thing, I don't think they'd be happy about any change that makes it easier to leave. Imagine what'd happen to comp at these companies if you didn't have to do yet another goddamn leetcode gauntlet every time you switched.
It would have meant the end of nuclear arms control and non-proliferation efforts, an already difficult process. So yeah, that tends to arouse considerable negative responses.
Put a resume together and apply for interesting jobs. I had to be dragged kicking and screaming out of academia. In the end, much to my own benefit and my family's, but it took too long. Biotech has been on a hiring binge recently, but not sure if it will stay that way given the recent direction of tech stocks.
The public benefit is that if you see a person's name or likeness used to promote a product, the public knows that the person (or their estate) consented to the use. Without publicity rights, anyone could use anyone else's name or likeness to sell anything.
Yeah, that still doesn’t make sense. If that were to be sustainable you would have charge higher interest on the loans then you give to savings. That means a customer has the potential of getting a loan in an alien currency which they’d have to sell to USD, and then buy some more of that alien currency to pay it back with much higher interest then if they would have just gone to a bank/credit union/loan agency.

These DeFi yields must be funded in other ways than just loans.
For handling cross-reference clues, do you think it would be feasible in the future to feed the QA model a representation of the partially-filled puzzle (perhaps only in the refinement step - hard to do for the first step before you have any answers!), in order to give it a shot at answering clues that require looking at other answers?

It feels like the challenges might be that most clues are not cross-referential, and even for those that are, most information in the puzzle is irrelevant - you only care about one answer among many, so it could be difficult to learn to find the information you need.

But maybe this sort of thing would also be helpful for theme puzzles, where answers might be united by the theme even if their clues are not directly cross-referential, and could give enough signal to teach the model to look at the puzzle context?

It's an excellent time to negotiate to get your options re-priced if they're below water. When the market goes back up, you'll be ahead.
It’s my impression that just doing enough grinding to hopefully remember how to solve a specific problem is different from having enough experience to be have gained the aptitude to solve them without it feeling like a grind or cram session.
Rather than regulate the company it feels like the more common solution is to force companies to split up any vertical integrations in order to reduce the barrier to compete with them.
Yes, it seems to.

According to the article, Coolwulf went to Nanjing University for undergrad, so pretty safe to assume he would do an interview with Chinese media in Mandarin. And since he likely grew up in China, it was probably very easy for him to learn Mandarin indeed!
If you're interested, watch a youtube video or two about it (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBC-nXj3Ng4). You don't need to get super deep or spend too much time on it.
I just get a salary. My motivation was never that high to begin with. I get paid the same whether the company turns a small profit, a big profit, or just breaks even. I get paid the same even if the company takes a small loss. If the company takes a big loss, I don't take a pay cut; I just get laid off and collect unemployment while lining up my next gig. You could see that as a pay cut, but I see it as an unplanned paid sabbatical that I helped pre-pay through my payroll taxes.

If you're getting paid in stocks instead of legal tender, and those stocks aren't worth much right now, you can have a little of my sympathy as a treat. But only a little. Hold out long enough for another bull market and you'll be high on the hog again.
I'm sure it is difficult to decide that since, as pointed out, there is a working example staring at us every day. So it always feel just out of reach.
As the article states, there are phaseouts in many of the programs involved. SSI does have an income-based phaseout, not a complete threshold - the $2k threshold is a wealth cap, there is a phaseout-based income cap as well.

> But SSI does this in an egregiously inefficient way. The loss of SSI is a fairly hefty penalty, and the loss of Medicaid is potentially much larger. Both can be triggered, all at once, by going a dollar above the $2,000 limit. This is an inefficient design , what welfare scholars call a “cliff.”

> SSI also has an income-based phaseout. Effectively, for every dollar you earn above a threshold, you lose 50 cents in benefits.

> But shockingly, that threshold is just $85 per month. So it’s like a 50 percent “tax” rate with a $85 per month standard deduction.

The problem is that congress thinks $85/mo is a good place to begin a steep phaseout of benefits. You can have a phaseout and still have the program be completely useless because of the phaseout threshold and steepness.

This isn't about phaseouts or not, it's about political unwillingness to do social spending (for anyone who’s not a senior citizen). The numbers were last adjusted in 1935, everyone knows they’re astoundingly low, but Americans don’t like social spending and actually mostly would prefer to reduce (or even eliminate) these programs.
I'm not asking about the extreme mischaracterization of my position of "literally anything." I'm asking what safeguards are in place to keep UBI, as we know the term, from evolving into UBI-asterisk, with conditions on the recipients.

So far the strongest counter argument I have seen is "well then it wouldn't technically be UBI", which doesn't fix anything.
> requires some degree of sacrifice/luck/location to get there.

Bingo. You can answer everything perfectly and still not get it depending on interviewer or other applicants.
Agree, it is important to separate the cultural/socio-economic aspects of Crypto from the engineering/technology behind it.

Sadly, both issues get boxed up into a giant package, bow tied with hate, greed and emotions. Even on HN, let alone the rest of the tech community.
American russophobia is a sad state of affair considering history, they also gave Alaska for a negligible price.

Also remember we’re talking Autobahn here! Gmaps assumes upto 130kp/h… depending on your car and driving style you could drive 200kp/h++ (at least partially when there’s no speed limit)

-> I’d challenge the 3:20h driving time, would probably more like 2:30h in ideal conditions

Teslas most certainly read speed limit signs. They have for years now. My stock Model Y purchased in January 2021 had the feature built-in.

With FSD beta, turning off a major highway onto my neighborhood street (very narrow and no lane markings), it defaults to 25 MPH. About 100 feet later, the car sees the 35 MPH sign and speeds up accordingly. In this case, 35 MPH is too fast given the curves, slight hills, and limited visibility. I slow down manually in these cases using the roller wheels.

Tesla has gradually improved its speed planning to account for different scenarios. But it's still a work in progress and often requires manual tweaking.
I did read the article and it quoted a lot of tweets in the text. I didn't know if you meant those.

Well, first-person accounts are notoriously accurate, so you're probably right.
Interesting, I hadn't thought of it that way. Looking through our codebase:

- We get a lot of mileage out of DISTINCT ON to get the most recent version of a row for some subset of columns. I think this a different use case than what you refer to.

- We typically use DISTINCT to get PKs for a table when starting from another table. Like, find all user IDs that commented on a given story by looking at the join table.

SELECT DISTINCT user_id FROM story_comment WHERE story_id = 4
So much entitlement. You want the free money, there are rules. The 2000 dollar limit is perhaps too low--so that's something that can be adjusted--but the whole point of SSI is for low income disabled people. That's the point. SSDI is a different but similar program without that 2000 dollar limit.
A smooth transition out is more or less by definition not a cutoff (a cutoff being a sudden thing). This is an important distinction, because it means it's never harmful to earn another dollar.

Since we don't have a wealth tax, there isn't even a smooth transition out along the dimension that the article discusses.
Agreed, but I see the impulse to standardize as the source of a lot of the problems people have — by people, I mean both good engineers, and the companies who can't hire them.
Do you find that they interact with you/recognize you?
But the liquidation of USDC represents the flow of real assets OUT of the ecosystem, thus rapidly inflating the price of ETH and any other cryptocurrency denominated in dollars. Aka if you start selling 2 USDC for 1 USD, then the price of ETH goes from $3000 to $6000 overnight. BUT those dollar signs in front of the price aren't US dollar signs, they are USDC dollar signs. Which means that I can engage in massive arbitrage between exchanges.

Exchanges respond by sealing themselves off to protect their $3000 ETH from the $6000 fake ETH trade prices, thus creating a massive freeze in the market, thus wrecking the redemption system that underpins DAI.

It's very, VERY important to realize that all of these things are interwoven. There's no such thing as "USDC collapsing" without it also taking all the crypto traded on Coinbase with it.
"Now you must vote for anyone who doesn't threaten to cut your benefits, regardless of their other positions" seems pretty powerful to me.
UBI is always going to have a de facto cutoff where some people pay more in tax than they receive in UBI

That's not a cutoff; it's a continuous function that crosses zero at some point. With a UBI funded by an income tax you're never worse off earning more.
