Cryptocurrencies are acting as anything but, though. In 2015 electronic cash wasn't really a thing in my country (it's still got a long way to go today). I tried using Bitcoin. It was slow, difficult to use, and the value was prone to wild swings. I wanted Bitcoin or something similar to succeed as a currency. But it's all been taken over by speculators and scammers.

When I moved to Australia I found that I could just use AUD electronically. Fast, easy, stable, and fee-free.
I thought that's plastic?

It's interesting that all the accounts reported by Tesla indicate that ..."the accelerator pedal was abruptly increased to 100%.” How likely is it that, even if by accident, the driver would fully depress the accelerator pedal? How many people fully depress the brake pedal when stopping? Usually while parking, there is no need to fully depress the brake because sufficient braking action is achieved with less pressure, and the car will come to a stop gradually instead of abruptly.

Maybe they have a CAN bus problem, or a software problem that they do not want to reveal.
>Exists much closer parallel to Reichstag fire, when in 1993 Russian tanks shoot on Russian parliament.

that one is different. The Reichstag fire was a terrorist like event. The 1993 Russia parliament shooting was an open confrontation between different political forces which controlled different government branches.

> because of this confrontation in Russian power, they have not invade Ukraine before 2014 - was too engaged on their internal problems.

not really. Russia didn't invaded Ukraine until 2014 because it had absolutely no enough power to do it. Any noticeable political confrontation that you point too ended by the early 200x. The economy was in pretty weak state until about 2008. Russia was flexing its muscles gradually - Chechnya, later Georgia and only after that it felt capable of attacking Ukraine. For example Russian forces even in 2008 were in pretty bad shape, and the campaign would have probably been a disaster if Georgia army was in any reasonable shape.
Tesla is very divisive, a lot of people get a sense of power and superiority by posting anything that makes them look bad. The subtext is "See? I'm smarter than you by hating Tesla."

This isn't exclusive to Tesla.

> Making homelessness somehow illegal is not going to fix systemic problems which create a lot of homeless people

They tried to do this in Austin and the only accomplishment is the creation of itinerant homelessness.

Anyway, this guy's idea is even wilder than that. Somehow, homelessness symptoms and causes must be purged first, before offering homeless people a chance.
In this case it looks more like loss aversion, protecting themselves from customer lawsuits. I'm sure there are other use cases for the data. Self-driving improvements have been mentioned.
I know what you mean here. I used to download and meticulously tag my music and listen on an iPod classic. Sure maybe Spotify might not be ideal, but I do not have the time to fiddle around with all that anymore, and especially don’t want to spend tons more time on the computer than I already do. I am the same as you too with the smart speakers and family account too. The alternative is so much more effort, for not a huge amount of benefit.

That being said I have started collecting vinyl, which I do enjoy, but don’t often have the extra money laying around each month to buy more. One day I hope to have a nice dedicated setup for it :)
The entire paper is a joke. Monopoly in the construction market? Dude, there are multiple competing contractors in every field even in smallest towns. In fact, I’d endeavor to say that construction is probably the least centralized major industry in US, certainly less centralized than, say, farming.
You may have gotten legit goods from the lower end lines of those brands. Both are terrible about have multiple quality tiers with minimal differentiation in marketing. The difference will be price, quality, and QC even if they look similar.

This is a PR plant that Meta (and its acolytes) routinely stress the importance of "E2EE" - while skimming off the generated metadata which reveals even more. E2EE is closed source implementation and it is hard to determine what happens in the background. I am not denouncing E2EE- just WhatsApp.

Learn the vocabulary. Look up things like 409a valuations, 83b elections, NSO and ISO stock options, the difference between long-term and short-term capital gains, strike price vs exercise price (plus how and when taxes on options are triggered and calculated), marginal tax rate vs effective tax rate. Probably also worthwhile to learn the basics of corporate finance, like annual recurring revenue (ARR), costs of goods sold (COGS), customer acquisition costs (CAC), differences between cashflow and profit, EBITDA (plus what each of those words mean), capital expenditure (capex) vs operational expenditure (opex). If you understand the vocabulary, it's a lot easier to evaluate whether a given source is authoritative or not.

Ah, looks like I misunderstood the definition of the term "subgame". I thought that this would be one subgame: "I have KK preflop on the button, and my opponent's range is X". And another subgame might be: "I have 75o preflop on the button, and my opponent's range is X". From my opponent's perspective, these 2 situations would occur on the same level of the game tree and my opponent has no way of distinguishing between these (at this stage of the game tree) due to the hidden information, thus I thought they would be called subgames. But you're telling me that the concept of subgame applies in both directions (not only imperfect information by my opponent's perspective, but also imperfect information in my perspective). So when I say "my opponent's presumed range is X", that sentence doesn't describe 1 subgame, that sentence actually describes multiple subgames.

My earlier point was that if an opponent's strategy is fixed, then I don't have to balance how I play that KK compared to how I play that 75o. That I can play each hand "in a vacuum", in a strategy where the EV of each hand is maximized. Note that this idea is only relevant if my opponent is not playing perfect GTO (contrary to your example). For example, my opponent may have a weakness where their preflop fold frequency is the same regardless of how whether I raise 3BB or 2BB. Against this weakness the optimal play would be to raise 3BB with KK and raise 2BB with 75o. Obviously, this would be a bad strategy if my opponent was allowed to adapt their strategy to me, but it's the optimal play if my opponent's strategy is locked.

To clarify further:

- "exploitative style" poker strategy is made at the level "My hand is 96s, and my opponent's range is presumed to be Y"

- "GTO style" poker strategy is made at the level "My range is X, and my opponent's range is presumed to be Y"

If the opponent's strategy is fixed, then our optimal strategy is to play 100% exploitative. If the opponent's strategy is not fixed, then the optimal strategy will be a mix with elements from both exploitative and GTO strategies. (Again, note that this only makes sense if the opponent is not playing perfect GTO. If the opponent is playing perfect GTO, then obviously the optimal strategy is to also play GTO.)

I thought that Noam Brown was making a point related to this concept. It seems that I was mistaken and his point was related to something else entirely.
Circulation of cash is very low, only 3% of trensfered money is in cash according to this 2019 study https://www.norges-bank.no/en/news-events/news-publications/... Since then, with COVID where many stores refused cash payments, so it may have decreased further.
The investor's objective is to maximize yield, not minimize homelessness or keep affordability in check. In that, if they don't find a renter for their jacked up rent - they "renovate" the property - get a higher appraisal and sell it to the next schmuck.

Housing can’t both be a good investment and be affordable.

You can't make economic decisions on the basis that real estate will always grow more than income or even real gdp forever. Which is what these group of investors are doing.
My friend and I had a good laugh about this article. Eloquent and straight to the point.
If they distribute a copy of the source at the same time they send you the binaries (in this case, the car) - then they have no further obligation to distribute the code. They don't have to maintain an online repository, nor worry about who is entitled to what version of the code.

There's a lot of parallel process going on that are hard to account for. Internet use, for example. According to Statista, 2011 is a trough in internet use, some ≈210mn users, by 2016 it plateaus at ≈290mn, meanwhile the platforms and accessibility are evolving alongside, in manifold ways. And there's old industries developing in new ways, TV supplanted by the modem, papers by the web, and it's all interactive. TV, I suspect, and the legacy boys, are pressing hard for turning their outlets up to 11, like have you watched Tucker Carlson? And that's got to be exacerbating the problem. And information is more accessible than ever, too: COINTELPRO or the Iran-Contra or the Mexican Revolution, or Banana Republic, or go go banking a la 1980's financial imperialism and there's the third world debt crisis for you.

Viola! Schismogenesis. Erstwhile we're competing inside of a relatively inert system with intractable inertia, and the pressure builds.

Of course the economics of the individual are poorer and poorer, as well, and at what appear to be increasing costs and that is a considerable portion of what the government ultimately does - enable commerce. And we're finding out, perhaps, that we're running on fumes.
If housing is supply bound - which we know it is, because prices are rising - then rate of household growth is going to equal rate of new home construction, because you can't form those households until there's a house for them to move into. Which it does - compare your link with my census.gov link on new residential construction. Everyone who doesn't have a home has to double up with roommates or continue living with their parents

If the question is "Can I maintain the same standard of living as I grew up with?" or "Can I form a family?" or "What are housing prices going to do now?", this isn't an interesting statistic. The number you want to know is "How many people would like to form households but can't because there are no houses to be had?" And that's what I'm citing with the demographic numbers. If there are twice as many people desiring houses as houses available for them, only half the population is going to get a home, and the price that the median home sells for will be what the 75th percentile of the income distribution can support.

> Then why does their mailing piece say "New Brave User"?

You're reading too much into this. If you look at the other elements of the ad, it's clear that the purpose of the ad is to get you to install brave, which makes you a "new brave user".
I fully agree with the campaign. I even donated to them some time ago and got a nice package of promotion material in return.
Sorta mixed. I buy a huge amount though, so some misses are to be expected.

Amazon warehouse open box stuff - I've had some fraud issues with that. Shitty people buying another copy of an old broken item and returning the bad one and keeping the new working one. Then the next customer (me) trying to keep stuff off the landfill gets a broken item as "Like new".

SD cards...haven't had any proper fake ones but some have had suspiciously short lifespans.

Bought a incredibly unsafe cheap rice cooker that I used exactly once.

No immediate plans to switch to something else. It is still the most convenient/cheap frankly even with the misses

You can have all of that and still produce good software.

Based on my understanding they didn't even buy distribution lists. They just told USPS to deliver their ad to every house in a given zip code.
Where the money comes from..https://calmatters.org/politics/california-election-2020/202... (2020)

Teachers and realtors(not developers) each had contributed over 2.5 million each. Prison guard union 3.7 million. Other unions: about 3.5 million

Building industry is about a million but that’s pre 2020 numbers. It has since gone up.

The article explains who gives how much and what they want in return. There are also overlaps.

NIMBY and zoning complaints are smokescreens. Look at campaign donations. It’s all public record.
I often wonder if we see time as linear just because we're falling through it in a forced direction. Maybe there is no before or after. Just everything possible existing all at the same time. Like, would a conscious falling star think there is only one direction in space?
Of course it's debatable. All value is in the minds of humans.
I think it's historically interesting and people often miss stories from years ago.
As a matter of principle, I am not paying a $2 "processing fee" to stop people from sending garbage to my mailbox.

Also, the permanent credit card offer opt-out requires me to print and send a letter from each address I live at. This is clearly designed to be as annoying as possible so nobody does it.
I use Bandcamp. I started because many of the artists I listen too, put their music on Bandcamp. I briefly considered paying for Spotify, but at every turn they make it difficult to get to the music I want to play. Why would I pay for that?

> If "programs ought to do one thing and do it well", then why aren't they just library functions in a scripting language?

In many cases, the command line tool is a wrapper for an awesome library, and the awesome library has bindings for multiple scripting languages. So in many cases, there's a command, and a library and yeah, you can import the library into your favorite scripting language (or often compiled language, too). In the end, you could argue that all languages are just an abstraction for system calls anyway.

So why the love for the Unix shell? One line is faster for the user than 23 lines. It's the same reason we use compiled languages instead of assembly most of the time. The same applies to using python of javascript instead of C or rust. Less lines of code. Bigger abstractions. Problem is solved and the work is done faster.

> I still don't see the beauty.

The whole "collection of small programs that do one thing well" thing is just one way to do it, and there are plenty of examples of programs that are super successful that don't heed that advice in any way at all. In the end, Unix has held up for a remarkably long time... seems like there should be a better way to do it, but it's hard to argue with Unix success in the wild.
There's also Alfred's own Music feature (commonly mapped to ⌥+⌘+return), which will let you search your library and play songs without going to the Music app first.
But what if the footer contains the entire site navigation UI. Then surely I can do this..,,
> It's still extremely annoying and it's definitely not a good look for their business, but I assume the number crunchers have determined actually dealing with the fraud isn't yet worth it financially.

They’ve dealt with it in limited ways. For example, they’ve inked exclusivity agreements with certain brands (ex. Apple) so that only Amazon can sell them. So at least that inventory should be legit as they don’t allow third party sellers.

Of course this is somewhat to Amazon’s favor. If a brand is concerned about their reputation due to customers unknowingly getting counterfeits, they need to strike a deal with Amazon, and likely one that is favorable to Amazon.

There are some who argue Argentina would face massive social unrest if it weren't for it's welfare programs.

"Benítez is one of millions of Argentines who survive largely thanks to soup kitchens and state welfare programs, many of which are funneled through politically powerful social movements linked to the ruling party. Almost a third of Argentine households are estimated to receive some kind of social assistance."

What about deleted messages, do they get deleted from servers too?
Yep, for years now. Amazon used to feel amazing, now it's Scamazon and it's sadly better to buy the literal cheap garbage at Walmart than it is to waste the time researching the fake crap on Scamazon and still losing out.

It's really pushed me to waste 25 minutes driving across town for something that may be in stock and may do the job in most cases.
I mean, obviously. But also it's just their fantasy. The chance of it actually happening is absurdly low. The chance of me having to listen to daily rants about everything and just ignore them or go "uh huh." is 100%.
I think a house has “value” related to utility.

I also think the putative concept of “underlying value” - always defined in opposition to some other form of value the speaker is railing against - is a lazy rhetorical crutch that provides nothing of analytical value to a discussion.

Every time these crypto threads come along we have tens of people drawing this same distinction and hordes of software engineers nodding along in agreement like it’s actually a thing. It’s not a thing. At least, not the way it’s deployed here.

Usually I just ignore it but it’s beginning to pass into accepted wisdom through sheer repetition.
Sorry, 'flout', not 'flaunt'.
It used to be a much higher percentage. They’ve abandoned the entire northern front.
You're right, you don't need addresses to deliver ads to every household. However, addressed mail probably gets better engagement than unaddressed mail, so USPS/EDDM vendors allow you to insert the name/address of the recipient, based on whatever is in their database. Brave didn't intend for this option to be enabled, but due to some oversight it was enabled, hence why the ads had addresses on them.

The brake pedal is physically connected to a hydraulic cylinder. You need to be very strong to fully engage the brake pedal, such that many vehicles, when presented with a sharp brake pedal stab, will electronically increase the amount of brake pressure given (because the system assumes you want to stop, but the driver may not be strong enough/have the right feeling for where maximum pedal application is). If you did this at speed, you'd probably engage ABS which tends to mess with the force-feedback though.

On the other hand, the accelerator pedal is just a sensor, it doesn't require as much force to fully depress. I'd estimate the force required to fully depress the accelerator pedal to be 1/3 of the brake pedal.
Yeah I meant in jest (they made
