It's outside the US too, but holy moly is it dirt cheap in the US, averages not even 4% [1]. When I looked last year RBC showed like 8% (now 9.75%[2]) for 25 years fixed in Canada; tougher choice against 5 year terms than down South.

No idea. Deezer is DRM free, has a deep catalogue, has a solid API, and provides high fidelity files. I have no use for other services. Personally I’d recommend them. As an example of a personal project I’ve built on their API: https://audile.app (a random album on every page load)

Unless you have an online service you won’t be able to keep this playlist in sync on another platform as I continue cultivating it. I do keep a backup of the playlist in the event Deezer disappears.
Absolutely. And media reform of some sort as well. I didn't mean to say it was a criticism without an answer :)
The article is making the case that black people are being given sun exposure advice catered to white people. That's a pretty basic example of systemic racism. It's not vile bigotry, but it doesn't need to be—it's just a bias grounded in race. Still racism. Let's not be afraid of using accurate language just because that language is politicized.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixon_shock

> The Nixon shock was a series of economic measures undertaken by United States President Richard Nixon in 1971, in response to increasing inflation, the most significant of which were wage and price freezes, surcharges on imports, and the unilateral cancellation of the direct international convertibility of the United States dollar to gold.
> There have been nearly no investment on energy storage in our history (for very obvious reasons).

By "nearly no" do you mean "tens, possibly hundreds of billions"? Batteries alone have had tens of billions in investment in the last few years.

> On amounts close to 1/3 of our daily generation capacity.

What kind of mix and overproduction are you thinking of that gets you ratios that low without brownouts? I suspect that if you want to live off wind and solar you'll need a week of capacity to get no brownouts when it's still and gray for a week unless you get nameplate capacity 10x your average needs.
If in a system of perfect liberty two people have a right to enter in to a contract, and three people have a right to enter in to a contract, and, inductively, as many people who want to live in a housing division have a right to enter in to a contract, then yes, yes they do.
that exercising interest in democracy means voting.

we are talking about voting systems.

Arrow's theorem is the definitive answer to "no voting system is perfect so no voting system will solve political problems"

Liquid democracy, being simply another way to vote, won't solve any political issue by itself. Because politics is a social problem.
The comment I replied to claims Cali has an $80B surplus. Seems like there's plenty there for a rainy day fund. Anyway, whether or not you can raise taxes is pretty immaterial to a rainy day fund--it's just a matter of whether or not it's prioritized. If California can't prioritize said fund now, then it wouldn't be able to do so with prop13 (it would just find other uses for the revenue).

Code is (generally) structured too?
Except that's it's a convolution of "renewable." Applied to energy, this means the source of the energy is renewable, which is not the case with fossil fuels or uranium but is with geo or solar. All storage is reusable. There is nothing to be "renewed" except re-filling and repairing the vessel. Being mechanical, this will also need to be maintained and renewed to keep working.
Deep Learning in Business Analytics: A Clash of Expectations and Reality
PDF:
https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2205/2205.09337.pdf

"...This paper explains why DL - despite its popularity - has difficulties speeding up its adoption within business analytics. It is shown - by a mixture of content analysis and empirical study - that the adoption of deep learning is not only affected by computational complexity, lacking big data architecture, lack of transparency (black-box), and skill shortage, but also by the fact that DL does not outperform traditional ML models in the case of structured datasets with fixed-length feature vectors. Deep learning should be regarded as a powerful addition to the existing body of ML models instead of a one size fits all solution..."
I thought this was shown to be true in terms of expected ROI more than 25 years ago - it was talked about in my MBA program.

I had some pretty crappy skin issues (Dermatitis and occasionally psoriasis) starting in childhood, but as an adult I moved to a tropical country - boom no more problems.

Virginia Raggi failed at both.

I think that failing at everything it's pretty much a good definition of failure, do you agree?
No, but common courtesy and cleanliness is something that makes me happy. I’ve lived in neighborhoods that have had rat problems because of a single home that kept trash everywhere. Should I be inconvenienced because someone doesn’t want to do the bare minimum to upkeep their property? Would you be ok if I moved next door to you and hung nazi flags (this has happened to me as well)? When people behave in ways that infringe upon my life, yeah I can be irritated and want to live in an area that they aren’t allowed to do that. People who won’t respect others can continue to live in areas that let them get away with it. I won’t live like that anymore.
Wow, actually, I should add MTB, but I've not had the energy/time the past two years, but I used to do a lot, we have a technical track nearby and that really puts me in the zone too, the gratification of achieving combined with the focus of not getting yourself killed..

Also, repairing stuff is something I absolutely love too! I forgot about that one. Even if I can't restore it to 100%, but often I can, and put my own spin on it, and it's very satisfying.
do you live somewhere never very hot?
128 cores at 30 watts isn't something I've seen anyone planning. What's more likely is 128 cores at 300-400+ watts, and scaling from there is most likely to increase power usage and core counts. Bergamo (AMD), Graviton (AWS), Sierra Forest (Intel), Grace (NVIDIA) are all going for that.

30 watts is low power mobile and "edge" compute.

Unfortunately, the court system is not friction-less enough for "your weeds got in my yard" to be a remotely workable reason to go to court. It would be nice to live in a society where justice flowed as freely as municipal water and common law obviated the need for all other forms of organization or regulation, but in the real world going to court is so expensive and time-consuming that we need a lot of other forms of power around to avoid overusing that method.

If you have a plan for reforming the local judiciary to be so effective that HOAs are no longer necessary I am all ears, but I have not heard any proposals for doing that.

I have switched about 7 months ago due to issues with my Galaxy S10. I can't definitively say that I would recommend it, but I can say is that I personally don't regret it. The biggest benefits of the iPhone are for me

UI consistency: The OS apps are very consistent in terms of their UI patterns and overall user experience. Its not perfect (as some people claim), but it is significantly better than the weird mixture of OEM and Google apps you get with Android phones that aren't pixels. Not only are the preinstalled apps better, the apps from the store are also more consistent in terms of platform specific UX patterns (again, not perfect but significantly better)

General app quality: the accessibility of the Play Store (and the overall Android platform) certainly has its benefit, but unfortunately it often also leads to bad quality applications. While I don't particularly like Apples strict walled garden approach I'll have to admit that the apps tend to be higher quality than Android ones. A drawback is that the vast majority of iOS apps are paid. Being paid isn't really a problem, but the fact that everyone is moving to subscriptions is certainly starting to become one.

Overall reliability: the overall platform feels much more reliable than on my last Android. I've been a heavy Android Auto user before. But just 30 minutes of being connected heated up my phone so bad the CPU throttled like crazy for the next 45min making a lot of apps incredibly slow. My iPhone never had those issues and it feels like it doesn't even warm up with CarPlay. CarPlay also tends to be much more reliable than Android Auto ever was for me.

If switching will benefit you largely depends on you specifically. But since smartphones have largely plateaued over the last few years, you won't gain a whole lot, but you won't loose much either (unless you are super into the open source aspect of android)

Come on man. This is a stupid stereotype.

To relate to the initial post, it is also very wrong that only police and the most dangerous parts of organized crime are armed. Germany has masses of inherited guns. They are just not visible. Breaking and entering are also a very real and common thing, although focused on when the owners are (presumed) away.

"The time has come to ask what level of population growth is good for the United States. There was a period when rapid growth made better sense as we sought to settle a continent and build a modern industrial Nation. And there was a period, in the 1930's, when a low birth rate was cause for concern. But these are new times and we have to question old assumptions and make new choices based on what population growth means for the Nation today. Despite the pervasive impact of population growth on every facet of American life, the United States has never developed a deliberate policy on the subject. There is a need today for the Nation to consider population growth explicitly and to formulate policy for the future."

"The difference [between two-child and three-child American families] is important not simply because of the numbers but because it bears vitally upon a fundamental question about the Nation's future: Do we wish to continue to invest even more of our resources and those of much of the rest of the world in meeting demands for more services, more classrooms, more hospitals, and more housing as population continues to grow?"

Private delegated computations using strong isolation
[PDF]: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.03322.pdf

"...we introduce Veracruz, a framework that eases the design and implementation of complex privacy-preserving, collaborative, delegated computations among a group of mutually mistrusting principals. Veracruz supports multiple isolation technologies and provides a common programming model and attestation protocol across all of them, smoothing deployment of delegated computations over supported technologies. We demonstrate Veracruz in operation, on private in-cloud object detection on encrypted video streaming from a video camera. In addition to supporting hardware-backed isolates -- like AWS Nitro Enclaves and Arm Confidential Computing Architecture Realms -- Veracruz also provides pragmatic "software isolates" on Armv8-A devices without hardware Confidential Computing capability, using the high-assurance seL4 microkernel and our IceCap framework..."
The urban planning in the US was intentional; rather than bad it was evil. Berkeley invented “residential only zoning” to create neighborhoods of white office workers because Chinese immigrants were thought to run businesses out of their homes and wanted to ban them. (You can just look up their city council meeting minutes and they’d say this.)

These days you might face resistance to allowing light industrial again because people would accuse it of creating traffic and possibly leading people to park in front of their house - Nextdoor posters’ main principle is they should be able to park everywhere for free and nobody else should.
I don't think you understand how a currency peg works. If USDC loses the peg, arbitrageurs will buy USDC and redeem them, pocketing the difference. This will create a buying pressure that will re-establish the peg. Therefore maintaining the peg depends crucially on the issuer's ability to redeem USDC. If the issuer fails to redeem USDC, it's game over. The point that I made about the risks associated with using non-custodial wallets is also very valid.

You should re-frame the list not as something that you must do, but as a list which captures ideas. If you have some spur-of-the-moment idea and don't capture it in the to-do list, you might forget it, for good.

The list can be sorted: you can prioritize things you can realistically do and that you are motivated to do, by moving them to the top. Then you can take the perspective of the shorter list, which is less daunting.

Split it into regions: things to do this week, things to do this year, ... or whatever.

You can also go through the list from time to time and cull ideas that don't seem useful after the passage of some time. That can keep it smaller.

What is that based on? People I know who have had DUIs had a lot of trouble and cost, their driving was highly restricted, and a second DUI would have stopped them from driving and maybe put them in jail (IIRC).
The solution for that is probably to spend time with your close friends, not hide from everyone else.

What if the COVID epidemic doesn't end in this decade? The US continues to have about half a million dead per year, and a lot of lost productivity due to long COVID. This is the most likely scenario.

What if the war in Europe doesn't end in this decade? The optimistic scenario is that Russia bites off some of Ukraine and we go back to a cold war, with everybody in Europe building up serious military power to keep Russian expansion at bay. There are worse outcomes.

What if global warming starts to produce mass starvation in many areas of the world? This is looking likely, and it's already started.

What if supply chain problems don't go away? It's become clear that the incentives of the free market no longer insure abundance across the board. Americans could once deride the USSR's "short-blanket economy", where stores were always out of something. Now that's the norm in America.

For the past half century, large scale trouble in the US has been mostly about the business cycle. But this time, the business cycle doesn't dominate the other problems.
Yes, hindsight is 20/20.

It's easy to pick the high/sell price for the day after the day is over. Predicting this on the fly is a whole lot trickier. It's very unlikely you will catch the day's high. Unless you're psychic, you'll probably sell either too early or too late with diminished returns..
No measures at all. If I die, the business will most likely die as well. Since it’s not a huge business that can support lots of employees, the impact to my family will be negligible too
The market does price discovery if it's not program traded.

What markets are doing is recording and publishing the results of auctions for the particular good as a time series of data. Indexes hide some of that but there's something far worse: HFT.

The problem is that program trading and HFT has far more in common with the old Scientific American COREWAR game than it does with the fundamentals of price discovery. The buy/sell decisions are about gaming other players rather than discovering price. There are also nonlinear feedback loops with very short loop time constants created that are "nonconservative" in a physics sense and create instablity. The fact that hard limits are required to deal with flash crashes is a warning, not a solution!!
Because they bought into the meme that Texas is cheap when in reality the high property taxes means it's increasingly becoming unlivable for your average person. It's really just a way to try and save on how much they have to pay people, but it's going to be harder and harder to entice people to move to Texas when the rent is soaring and the state government continues its culture wars at the cost of tax payer dollars.
>That would be great, considering California subsidizes most of the rest of the country.

You and subiculumcode are wrong.

First, the state of California does not pay a cent to another state or to the federal government. It is residents of California that pay federal taxes, which in turn provide funding and services to states and individuals.

Second, the Rockefeller Institute (<https://rockinst.org/issue-areas/fiscal-analysis/balance-of-...>) shows that, as of 2018 (the last time I checked this data; I see that 2019 is now available), the 10 states at the bottom of the per capita list—that is, the states that benefit from the most federal spending per person compared to how much each person pays in federal taxes—are

2016/2020 Hillary/Biden-voting states: VA, NM, MD, HI, 1/2 of ME

2016/2020 Trump-voting states: KY, AK, AL, WV, MS, 1/2 of ME

It's not so much "blue states" as frequently claimed, but taxpayers of four very wealthy Northeast states (the Tri-State area plus Massachusetts) that account for the vast bulk of citizens paying more than they receive from the federal government. After them come CO, NE, UT, and MN, of which half voted for Hillary/Biden and half for Trump. All other states, including CA, are net beneficiaries of the taxpayers in the top eight (and, again, really, it's the top four).
Which is no different than now... Everyone already votes, you can already "corrupt" them all. Arguably, they already are.

The entire reason that leveraging up real estate 5x is a widely accepted practice is that you can't get margin called as long as you keep making payments. Reg T margin will margin call you if you go under 25-50% equity, but mortgages will never margin call you.
I understand, but my point is that if your company as a "got hit by a bus" problem, having the code in third party escrow is probably not gonna solve that. It kinda suggests to me that someone who believes that putting the code in escrow is a solution to that problem, also believes that the biggest problem with the founder getting hit by a bus is that only the founder knows where the code is. That's not the biggest problem, not even close.
I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people has no strong position in the "culture war" and just watch whatever they enjoy. I'm sure some people will leave a service over "wokeness" but I would be surprised if that number was significant.
