That would burn the finished ISO to disk. What I'm talking about would be along the lines of:

Chapter 1: "The establishing shot", ~/videos/nh-vid/ch01.mkv
Chapter 2: "Meeting the protagonist", ~/videos/nh-vid/ch02.mp4
Chapter 3: "The establishing shot", ~/videos/nh-vid/ch03.mp4
Chapter 4: "Hero meets villian", ~/videos/nh-vid/ch04.mov
Chapter 5: "The Clash", ~/videos/nh-vid/ch05.webm
Chapter 6: "The Smoke Clears", ~/videos/nh-vid/ch06.vp9
Chapter 7: "Resolution", ~/videos/nh-vid/ch07.wmv

and the command line app encodes all of the videos to the correct format for DVD, builds the chapter structure, and then builds/compiles the ISO file for an app like IMG burn to put to physical media (or to save to my NAS or ship to the media fulfiller who will press 50,000 copies....).
Perhaps I'm not stating the proposal clearly. Nobody would suddenly lose their home. If you understated its value, and someone made an offer, you'd have the opportunity to restate the property's value, keep the home, and pay the appropriate property taxes from then on.
Those people never visited The_Donald and didn't see the racism and bigotry there. It was a cesspool had no other purpose than to circlejerk over Trump and malign, and attack his political opponents.

I had the same experience including the SQ in your example.

Square was able to show me GPS data for where the merchant was, and I figured out it was a good truck that put an extra zero in there for a $200 lunch.

So I agree it should be much more clear and transparent.
No sane person is looking to hodl anything. You buy investments when you expect they will go up and sell them when you expect them to go down. I’m not sure why you’d feel you predicted something here. Everyone knew they’d protect their investments.

What? I totally have this today and it's great and not only am I happy, but also all these people who don't want to do things find that I can pay them to do things and then they're happy too. In fact, they're happier that I pay them to do these things than if I didn't pay them to do these things and they had to do other things.

I spend more time on Netflix looking for things to watch than watching things.

This isn't necessarily a Netflix thing - it's a streaming industry problem - driven by short supply and high demand with having multiple competitors in the market with big bank balances. When Netflix first started, they were pure quality distribution, now they and other streamers are bleeding money in bidding wars for content generated primarily by lame "chose one word from each column" production houses. Aliens, Teenage, Investigators - out pops humdrum 8 episodes of binge-fodder.

I went to streaming to escape from the cable playbook. I anticipate that all these additional revenue tactics will result in me dropping Netflix, and others. Maybe I'll return once the market has consolidated a little. Maybe not.

> bad actor merchants

It's even worse than this——"reputable" merchants will start acting even worse.

Here's an experiment you can do right now: go to WSJ.com and buy a subscription (instant). Now try to cancel. No button to do so. So start a Support Chat. Clearly type that you want to cancel. You are directed to call a phone number. So now you have to spend anywhere from 5 - 60 minutes on the phone. I tried to do a charge back on my Amex after I experienced this, and was denied.

This is the Wall Street Journal doing dark patterns and getting away with it. Imagine what will happen if credit card companies make it easier for merchants to do stuff like this.
In this case it's the middle manager creating or propping up bullshit jobs to make themselves look more important.

Why are the room rates so highly variable in the first place? Your guest sounds like a total jerk, no doubt. Hotels have also been quick to adopt the nickel-and-dime-customers-to-death business strategy, which adds up to a pretty big ding for folks paying out of pocket.

From a customer perspective, it feels like a stingy, one-sided relationship with all the hidden fees for what should be a relatively simple arrangement.

Still not defending your idiot customer who couldn't be bothered to read the presumably clear and well-intentioned agreement they signed.
Well, that’s a really great point. I’m not trying to hijack this post with analysis about student loans. But you’re totally right. We are increasingly looking to relief from student loans, precisely because they have gotten so out of control. And part of the reason they have gotten so out of control is because they had bankruptcy protection, so they were given to anyone and everyone without fear of bankruptcy. And when you flood a system with money, as we’ve learned in the past 24 months, prices go up. So now people need to take out more loans, which are readily available because they can’t be discharged in bankruptcy, and the glorious cycle continues.

It's the cheapest way to filter out most the people without some form of commitment and interest, which is an important feature for a healthy community
I think those systems are undergoing continuous change, so change is always possible. I also don't think that the area I lived in grew up in fact designed before the ubiquity of cars (I grew up suburban but not rural), although I currently live in the old-city of a small student town, since I want to live more urban. But yeah, it's easier if there's a structure suited to public transit (if the suburban towns have a "core" that's connected by rail to the city and nut just evenly spread out, or enough density anyway etc.).

But I originally just wanted to get at that public transportation not a myth, not forced on people, but preferred by many all over the world.
Yes of cours I only read the beginning of the draft paper because it was very frustrating to read and I had no particularly strong reason to keep on reading it.

This is what will happen to most people who read the draft paper. They will start with the abstract, feel confused, get annoyed and leave before they get to the "texonomy".

In fact I did glance at the "taxonomy" as I was scanning through the paper dejectedly in the last few seconds I bothered with it and it still didn't seem to explain what the different kinds of data leakage are different kinds of. That's basically when I stopped reading.

And this is why you don't write papers like that, because it makes them less likely to be read. And because, as an author in a field where people put tens of thousands of preprints on the internet, you want to make absolutely sure that your paper is as likely to be read as possible, by as many people as possible.

Basically, if you want people to read your papers, the absolute worst thing you can do is to expect your readers to "keep reading to see what we mean". Most people will give up and reviewers will be so annoyed you're not respecting their time that they'll skim your paper looking for reasons to skewer it.

The next worst thing is to expect your readers to try and guess what you mean. I could very easily make an educated guess at what "data leakage" means, but then I would have to read the paper while never being sure I know what exactly I'm reading and whether I have it subtly wrong. Again, you don't want to cause that kind of stress to your readers. You want everyone who reads your paper to feel happy and calm and admire your bright, squeaky clean ideas.

So make things as clear as possible, as hassle-free as possible, as friction-free as possible. Otherwise, you're kicking yourself in the butt.

That's my free advice.
Unfortunately both lawmakers and judges take a somewhat dim view of the whole "I shouldn't have to deal with the law" attitude.
Right, and now your isp knows how many devices you have, what endpoints each of them connect to and at what time. This is what kills me with v6. Privacy is already a large enough issue, I have no interest in letting my ISP "see" my internal network and egress traffic flows from each device.

“Herd immunity is the protection of an individual from infection by virtue of the other members of the population being incapable of transmitting the virus to that individual. Herd immunity can be achieved by immunizing a population with a vaccine that interrupts transmission, such as the live, attenuated polio vaccine, but not with a vaccine that does not interrupt transmission, such as the killed polio vaccine.”

You have a lot more freedom in the EU to switch countries than you do to switch phone ecosystems.

There are 27 countries you can freely move between. If you work in one and move to another your pension gets rerouted when you retire.

There are only two phone ecosystems. If you buy something in the Apple ecosystem, you don't suddenly have it rerouted to Android if you move.

The EU isn't threatening force. It's a civil issue. Apple can just not sell in Europe. And even if Apple can't use force, it's a lot more authoritarian.

This will primarily used by larger companies to fight legitimate chargebacks. If they had a reason to dispute the chargeback there are already means to do it, this process already exists. I can't imagine this new "program" is anything more than a way to screw consumers more.

This was an argument for prop 13. The GP seemed to be puzzled about the reasoning, when it was sold to voters on this simple premise.
That argument is easily debunked by introducing a citizen's dividend.

With a citizen's dividend the opposite is true, private land ownership is forcing people into homelessness and taking away their contributions to their local community.
Bonus all-time great paper review: "Jim Gray once told me that he had heard two different opinions of this paper: that it’s trivial and that it’s brilliant.

If you look at the explosion in salaries it's mostly been the last decade, which is coincidentally the decade of near 0 interest rates and capital chasing even more tenuous returns (ie the influx of money into VC funds which went into startups)
Netflix had a 10 year head start in the streaming space. They tried to take on entrenched Hollywood studios. They had some success (some Netflix originals are some of the best TV shows) but it looks like they couldn’t really match the content generation capacity of e.g. Disney.

I think they are dead. Whats their competitive advantage? The tech is commoditized. Other streaming platforms really sucked at first but they’ve upped their game and now I don’t see much difference. What does Netflix offer that others don’t? The only thing atm is that they’re ad free. Once thats gone, its so over.

Community rules need to be enforced. Surely, like with every social group, there is a forming, norming, and storming phase.
The person you're replying to was literally talking about Square though. And it's not just a random exception. Lots of merchants use it.

Moreover phone numbers are not common. And I'm not sure what you call store IDs but the ones I recall frequently have no way to look them up. Instead of phone numbers what you frequently see is a city and state. In fact I just went to double-check one of my cards right now to make sure, and exactly 0 of the 8 transactions on it had phone numbers. (This may differ by card issuer.)
To be fair 9/11 was when the government really kicked in its war against the populace in overdrive. TSA, 4th amendment violations, harder to travel across the border, mass expansion of DHS, the patriot act.
Are you comfortable with the recent change in Privacy.com ?

They are using Patriot Bank out of North Dakota as an intermediary. Previously Privacy.com would directly debit from your checking account. In the new process you are signing up for a credit card with Patriot Bank under the hood. They pass on your checking account info to Patriot Bank and somehow money gets exchanged. I don't fully understand the process and don't trust men-in-the-middle like this.

I wasn't satisfied with the information I got from Privacy.com customer service. Has anyone researched this and confirmed there are no shenanigans in the new process. I used to use Privacy for many years but stopped because of this.
It identifies who has teams and who doesn't.

It's true that image models are much less of a burden on GPU VRAM than a model like BLOOM where fitting it into a few A100s is ideal, but these diffusion models are a PITA for a ordinary hobbyist in terms of total compute: the CLIP pass over the text input is almost free, but then you feed it into the diffusion model, for one sample you'll be doing 10-100 forward passes (depending on how fancy the diffusion methods are - maybe even 1000 passes if you're using older/simpler ones), and for interactive use, you really want more like 6-9 separate samples; then they have to pass through the upscalers, which are diffusion models themselves and need to do a bunch of forward passes to denoise it. If you do 1 sample in 10s on your 1 consumer GPU, which would be pretty good, 6-9 means a joykilling minute+ wait. And then the user will pick a variation or edit one or tweak the prompt, and start all over again! It's like being back on 16kb dialup waiting for the newest .com to load.
Samir is brilliant. Talk about identifying a need and then solving it in the most efficient way possible.
Oh, right I'm sorry, since the beginning of 2021 if you inherit a home in CA you should move into it and run your _prior_ home as an AirBnb. My understanding is you need to make it your 'primary residence' within 1 year, but it doesn't say how long it must remain your primary residence?

With the "portability" affordances for people over 55, and with the special treatment of farms, I think there's still plenty of room for heirs to receive properties with ridiculously low assessments. A savvy person trying to give the greatest tax advantage to their heirs would sell their property with the lowest assessment, and buy the most expensive property they can, make it their permanent residence, and leave it to a child or grandchild.

In combination with the special treatment for farms, I think there's plenty of room left for people to inherit property which they don't actually need, with ridiculously low assessments.
The difference is turning a profit was not my primary motivation, owning my primary residence was. If making money was my top priority then there are several other houses I looked at that I would have bought instead.
> and I found this line in the job description "Work remotely from any of the countries we operate in".

Outside of contracting and business-to-business deals, I think we're still in a world where it's hard to legally employ people in countries where you don't have a legal presence (outside of cases where that has been explicitly agreed-upon, like EU).

Something as basic as tax withholding can be literally impossible without creating a subsidiary in that country.

Looking at remotewide.co, they don't say anything about having to accept applicants from all over the world. That is, think SF vs Idaho, not SF vs Siberia.
Never heard of them, had to go look it up. Going to assume you got 3 pairs? I suppose I could see not remembering the $1000 charge for clothing if you had been looking at it like 3 or 4 purchases… IDK, I don’t own fancy shoes so I’m having lots of trouble getting in your head space.
The most likely outcome in the tow truck case is that they repossess the tow truck and sell it at auction, only losing a small fraction of the money they loaned you. If someone can't afford a truck they borrowed, you still have a truck.

You can't take back someone's education, which is what makes this type of loan intrinsically riskier. Because you can never get rid of student loans, though, they don't have to do any risk analysis or say "no" to any students. They say "sure", no matter what the data says on the ability to repay for the type of degree that you're applying for. Since nobody is denied funding to go to college, colleges have no economic incentive to price degree programs by expected income. The result is that college becomes more expensive and less accessible to everyone.

It's a really bad situation.
Interestingly, last couple of times I tried to move from my current apartment, the agent declared that the entire fee is paid by the landlord, not me.

Maybe it's because in late 2020 and early 2021 the market was heavily tilted in favor of renters, and rents plummeted so much I seriously eyed pretty elite areas of Manhattan like UES.

Now, of course, the pendulum has swung to the opposite extreme.
I wonder if you could refuse to open your eyes.
This is of course part of the puzzle, and that behavior having no config is probably a sign it's still not mature enough.
Ok, introduce a land value tax and a citizen's dividend then.
"Light rail" is something of a technical term and a neologism (well, coined in the 70s but still). It was coined specifically to refer to rail systems that are lighter and demand less infrastructure than heavy rail but higher speed, higher capacity, farther reach than traditional trams or streetcars. But I don't think the term has gained very wide use in common vernacular.

Would any anonymous downvoter care to identify where this comment is inaccurate and provide some explanation as to why you think so? The poll results show very clearly that the increasing mistrust is mostly among conservatives. And unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Republicans have been criticizing the media for many years now. So that just leaves Trump's fabricated election fraud claims. If you have any evidence for that, you should probably provide it to his legal team, because in 60+ court cases, they've never presented any.

I never said it was the lenders fault. I’m just saying our bankruptcy system allows people to discharge debt. Whether you took on the debt responsibly or irresponsibly, we have a bankruptcy system that allows you to discharge that debt and get a clean slate, generally speaking. I’m not here to argue the merits of our existing bankruptcy system.

Your comment could apply to any kind of debt that people get discharged in bankruptcy. Credit card debt, judgments from courts. The person or organization on the other side of the dead might not have done anything wrong (indeed, if we are talking about a judgment from a court, the person that you owe that money to might’ve actually been harmed by you). However, these debts are subject to the bankruptcy code. But not student loan lenders. (I know this is an oversimplification, see my * on another comment)

The relationship to the friendly fraud issue is pretty straightforward. Simply put, I believe Visa is over stating the costs and risk of friendly fraud the same way that the industry did with regards to discharge of student loans. We see this in other contexts as well. Government actors are often trying to strip fundamental rights to privacy and from unreasonable searches in the name of protecting us from terrorism or child pornography predators. I’m not denying that those risks exist, the same way that the risk for friendly fraud exists. I’m simply saying that the proponent of the “corrective measure“ is probably over stating the threat.
