I agree with this, it's a market of last resort but it hasn't prevented hyperinflation ever.

No one facing a hyperinflationary death spiral says "oh well, at least the government will take taxes in this crap" they desperately cast around for a stable place to put wealth.

Before CO2, you had pollutants like NOx, which were toxic pollutants, and CFCs, which were pollutants but not toxic. CFCs were considered pollutants because they damaged the Earth in a way that would have a negative impact on human health, but non-toxic because their harm was not directly effected on the human body. CO2 would be the kind of pollutant that CFCs are. (CFCs are toxic in high concentrations, but the mechanism of their harm when released into the environment is not toxicity.)

You originally claimed "Look at Brexit, it has caused economic harm". A direct causal assertion. Now you've switched to "various organizations claim it will cause harm" which is a very different thing.

"you lament that EU commissioners are voted in by party blocs in the EU parliament"

Where did I say that? I said the opposite, right? That in theory they are appointed directly by national governments without EU parliament or Commission involvement (in theory, but apparently not in practice). EU Parliament can only fire the entire Commission at once, it doesn't select Commissioners and never has.

"you say that people vote for parties in the UK (they don't they vote for MPs, regardless of their party affiliation is written on the ballot), and that this is good"

No, because I didn't express any view on whether it's good or not, I described how the system works. Why do you keep putting words in my mouth like that?

"even the Bank of England says that the UK will suffer more than other G7 and EU nations due to the current supply side inflation"

Bank of England, IMF etc said a lot of stuff that turned out to be flat wrong about Brexit in the past. None of these institutions has any credibility. Every single one wanted Brexit not to happen for ideological reasons and created "expert" forecasts on that basis. A former BoE chief even said the entire profession of economics was in crisis, their prediction misses were so bad, and he's right.

At any rate, the more important point is that, again, trying to tease apart inflation due to fighting COVID from inflation due to Brexit is now hopeless. I'm not happy about that. I feel like COVID was a massive distraction and has largely prevented the government capitalizing on Brexit, and it also means we'll never be able to resolve this economic impact debate. The cost of lockdowns, mass testing, travel restrictions etc is so massive that Brexit is a mosquito in comparison.

"Sticking your fingers in your ears so that you don't need to listen to people telling you otherwise doesn't mean a doughnut is a stick of celery"

The people in question aren't neutral bystanders, they very much want certain outcomes (for ideological reasons). Brexit is neither a donut nor celery, it's merely a continuation of the long term trend towards decentralized governance - look at a graph of how many countries exist over time to see this. In such a way it can work out better or worse depending very much on your perspective and values.
It became against common sense when Omicron became a thing, and if you understand what the average Chinese person has to go through now to visit relatives in a neighboring city, shop for groceries, or really just to go anywhere... I hope you get the idea. It relies on totalitarian levels of AI + big data surveillance, internal passports, lockdown measures, and completely untenable long term.

If I wasn't being clear, there are 2 major reasons why China refuses to open up: ineffective domestic vaccines and few hospital beds per capita. The CCP fears a total healthcare system collapse and subsequent discontent from its citizens.

No, I directly addressed the question: it's common sense, i.e. entirely independent of tech-savviness or age or other factors. It's indeed common sense passed down to me from people far less tech-savvy (and far older) than myself.
I think including other parts of the body is the least of the problems. The bigger problem is that we don't understand how close to the structure of the brain (+ nervous system and gut and anything else contributing) we need to get for the simulated system to have a subjective experience of consciousness. E.g. is it enough to run a simulation on a normal computer? Does it need to process information at a certain rate to sustain this process? Is a certain physical structure of the simulating machinery required?

I don't agree we necessarily will be unable to reproduce it without being able to define consciousness, though, but I suspect we would agree that we won't be able to know if we have reproduced it or just created something very good at acting as if it's conscious (and we don't know whether or not the two are equivalent).

I think the reason for the justification is because in a field like programming where we have so many different languages, if there are any newcomers you'd want to know what sort of gap they have found which existing languages do not fill.

As others have pointed out, there's a difference between creating something just for the experience of it, and creating something because no other similar solutions exist. This project seems to fit in the latter category hence why a justification has been offered.
Could the same agencies that now regulate industry directly pivot to assisting congress with writing the laws?

> All Congress needs to do is clarify that they’d like the EPA to regulate carbon emissions

That is one interpretation. The dissenting opinion of Kagan argues that carbon emissions are covered due to Section 111(d), as this covers all pollutants.

A long time ago, in my Fortune 250, there were rumors flying about a merger with another company. So much so, that the CEO issued a company-wide email that, no, they "were not entertaining any credible offers at the time." I thought that was a weasely way of saying "no," but I was more naive then, and believed him. A month later, they announced that were "merging" with another Fortune 250.

That company sold our company off, piece by piece, in a classic raid to prop up their failing business, and then divested the last, biggest piece as private equity. Our CEO was promised the merged CEO position within 2 years. They pulled the ripcord on his golden parachute 1 year into it. He got $19M for the selling out the company, and $15M more for f*cking off, and THEN had the audacity to walk into the old HQ and cry about it.

His bio at IU's "notable alumni" says he "retired." Screw him. It was a great company to have worked for, which had lasted over 100 years, and it was gone in 3 years. It's been 20 years now, and I'm still mad about it. He says he regrets it (https://web.archive.org/web/20150726032123/https://www.ibj.c...), but when a board throws tens or hundreds of millions at someone, they usually take the deal, and act accordingly.
The political outlook has changed a lot since 92. Newt Gingrich was not yet speaker at that point, the republicans strategy of “never agree to anything democrats propose no matter what” was just getting started. I suspect passing that amendment would be much more difficult today.
In some settings they already have -- the 3M twinax cable the GP mentions is sold in a multi-pair format where, rather than a crimp-style connector, the ends of the cable are soldered onto PCBs that are part of connector assemblies (from, for example, TE's Sliver line: https://www.te.com/usa-en/products/connectors/pcb-connectors...).

Note that on balance I'll take something like an OSFP assembly (https://www.te.com/usa-en/products/connectors/pluggable-conn...) with a fancy jacket that pulls all of the individual twinax cables together, but it's also substantially more expensive than a simple flat tape-wrapped ribbon.

Other places where you'll see coax cables ganged together inside a jacket: high-speed USB cables. For example, here's a type C cable cross-section: https://twitter.com/tubetimeus/status/1125926941469462528
>You are talking about revenue neutral at a population level.

Yes, that is the econometric definition of revenue neutral tax changes. Of course most any change in tax structures will affect individuals, but that is nearly irrelevant (unless you never want a change to tax law).

> while wealthy people saw their rate drop dramatically

Have you looked up this claim with actual historical effective tax rate numbers? It's simply not true.

Here's [1] CBO total effective tax rates across many income level, from 1979 to 2005. Look at Table 1, then Total Effective Rate (which is what each group actually paid). Take, for example, Reagan tax cut of 1986, and pick a window around it, saw 1984 to 1987. Top 0.01 effective rate increased from 31.8 to 33.9. Lowest quintile rate decreased from 10.2 to 8.7.

In fact, for the 1986 cut, the lowest 4 quintiles saw a slight tax decrease, the top quintile saw a tax increase.

Next, look through the individual income tax rates - again, the same. After the Reagan tax cut in 1986, the top 0.01% saw an increase in effective rates - higher than any from 1979 (start of the dataset) through 87.

Here too you see the bottom 80% ending up with lower tax rates across the board.

I don't know where you got the idea rates dropped dramatically. It's not in this data.

Your mistake is valuing cryptocurrency purely as a currency. In reality BTC and other cryptos have combined properties of currencies, commodities, securities, as well as unique elements that can't be found elsewhere. Crypto is its own asset class and trying to value it using old models of other assets is bound to fail.

No, I chose the definition supplied by Oxford Language when searching for 'definition of woke'.

>Understanding your post not to be a good-faith question but an argument in favor of wokeism

Seems rather uncharitable.

Can you tell me how I, in the future, can ask for a colloquial definition (which doesn't match dictionary definitions) so that it doesn't confuse people into thinking I'm somehow a proponent of said word/phrase/etc? Apparently 'genuine question' isn't interpreted as genuine.
Lots of fear mongering here. The federal government has always been intended to have limited powers & courts have not always been pro-federal gov. That’s an unreasonable thing to posit.

What does China and Africa have to do with this? The federal government is explicitly given powers of national security & defense & diplomacy. States don’t get to have embassies or choose foreign policy.
Lmao! Right... if only trump was around im sure things would be better.
His argument is that Congress should legislate these issues either through proper laws or constitutional amendments. Turns out 9 judges might disagree with the previous set of 9 judges. That disagreement swings both ways and in the absence of proper legislative action will become the law of the land.
Note that it's not like with CHERI you can't cast a pointer to int or something. Sure you can, that's one of the main accomplishments: to demonstrate that hardware capabilities can work with real-world source code, like PostgreSQL.

So, it's not like you can't typecast; rather, there are some specific things the hardware will prevent you from doing, eg '(void *)42' - if you force clang to accept it, it will crash at runtime due to missing tag.

I didn't say it was their goal "before/at launch".

The notion of "Uber for X" was already such a cliche by 2014 that people were joking about it in general-audience publications: https://qz.com/311217/poem-theres-an-uber-for-x/

That poem was published between Coinbase's B and C rounds. By that point Uber had done a series E with a post-money valuation north of $40 billion. If Coinbase wasn't looking at that with envy and trying at points to cast their story in the Uber mold for investors, I'd be amazed, because most other startups of the time were.
Pretty well, to be honest.

By 2020, no one was underestimating Trump anymore, and it was clear people cared enough to vote him out for real. The energy at his rallies was no longer there. His subreddit, where the massive following was making strong waves during 2016 elections, was gone. Hillary not running anymore helped as well.

And that's just the most obvious things.
What part of this argument wouldn't apply to Plessy v. Ferguson being overturned by Brown v. Board of Education?
It's bigger than that. I think for most people, decentralization is an anti-feature. People do not want all their money to disappear because they lost their laptop on the subway. Being able to call your bank or credit union and have them freeze your cards, reverse fraudulent charges, and restore access to your account is a good thing.
Counter scenario: you're fleeing a country ahead of war, and you know that metal detectors will be involved and your gold will be taken. But they will not be checking every piece of paper you have, everyone is in a hurry. The bank run already happened and reinsurance depends on the capital staying functional.

Bitcoin wins.

The RP2040 is just over a dollar and there is nothing else of value on Pico so $4 retail is a bit low (typically you have 3-4x bill of material) but doable.

Pico W must be cutting it close at $6.

> During peak bubble, heists are common

But I didn't get the impression that the thief here really knew what he was after - he seemed to do a really poor job pawning the stolen goods (and settled for a lowball figure in some cases for games that were worth much more).

To me it seems like a boring robbery - they went after the safe because those typically contain valuables (in this case it also contained cash and precious metals). I'm not sure he ever realized the value of the games he'd stolen.

> > You also ignored my example of 2A

> Sure, because everyone does.

I don't think this is a winning argument. The fact that one argument - and one thought important enough to enumerate actually explicitly - is frequently ignored doesn't support the idea that another unenumerated one exists, and quite possibly the opposite.

More specifically, most Roe supporters have been ignoring the "bodily autonomy" philosophy all along, and more recently even going directly against it. It would seem that it's no more absolute than you believe 2A to be.

As I wrote elsewhere in this thread:

1. Have you taken to the streets protesting when people, even after consulting with their doctor, have been forbidden the right to use marijuana medicinally?

2. Do you oppose the authority of the FDA to determine what medications Americans should be allowed to use, such that we should be able to use a pharmaceutical even if the FDA says it's too dangerous, or not effective enough?

3. Have you even argued against the authority of the government to force individuals to take covid-19 vaccinations?

If you answer "no" to any of the above, then I assert that your claims to believe in the "bodily autonomy" argument behind Roe is false.

Just to provide a counterpoint, my personal experiences with the CEO of my company have been consistently positive. I consider him worthy of my trust, and I am a naturally skeptical person. The company has grown to hundreds of employees, but he's still approachable and direct as ever.

It puts a smile on my face when upper management squats in a conference room I need for a scheduled interview, and I can tell the candidate they just booted the CEO and director of engineering.
It's a bit of a stretch to say it was "based on VMS."

Yes the core initial engineers and leadership that started it were ex-DEC engineers.

But if you listen to Dave Cutler's interviews and read about it you can see clearly that some concepts were borrowed but much of the thinking was from scratch. He took the chance of starting a greenfield project to make something far more current.

In particular NT was designed from the ground up to be multiprocessor and multithreading friendly, which is not the case for VMS.

Secondly NT was designed to host multiple OS "personalities", VMS not at all.

Finally NT was designed to be portable between ISAs and they spent years making sure it worked equally well on MIPS, PowerPC, Alpha, x86, and then amd64.

NT the kernel is awesome. I just wish they'd shipped a better userspace from day one.

Imagine if Microsoft had shipped NT with a proper Unix-like shell environment in the 90s and not the crap "command.com" and WinCRT.dll garbage. What a better world we'd live in.
Proving you're not getting duped with plated lead is actually pretty hard to do without high technology, hence the reason gold coinage came into existence and then gold depositories and banking and all the rest.

Gold is transitorily convenient provided you exercise military force over a domain - that is you can force gold to be accepted for debts within your dominion. Nothing about it makes it intrinsically valuable otherwise - and more importantly you having gold doesn't grant you wealth because you didn't economically contribute to the system to start with.

Turning up with all the gold you want would get it rejected or siezed because it wasn't an approved coinage.

I do find it amusing (-ly hypocritical) that the big exception to this conservative position is the role of the Supreme Court itself. The entire concept of "judicial review" which is being employed here to allow the justices to strike down laws which they feel are outside the constitution is, famously, not a thing explicitly described in the constitution. Rather it's the very height of "well, it kinda implies we can do that".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marbury_v._Madison
I see it more as a fundamental perspective that we need to give Congress a kick, which is might be excruciatingly ineffective right now, but we cannot continue with the expectation that our Federal legislature is too incompetent or disincentivized to do their jobs.
I'm not sure that the guy who patented this is considered a "serious" scientist. After all, he did patent a technology from the 60's.

Otherwise, this just seems to be MIT being MIT: creating a trivial improvement on an old technology (in this case, moving the boost converter onto the airplane to avoid a tether wire), and publicizing the hell out of it because it's cool.
