How many times has Detroit, housing, and finance been bailed out?

They’re all operating on magical money because money is a shared hallucination. They legalize bailouts and complain about the debt but never mention the future can just say, eh, fuck those dead peoples bullshit.

The bias you seem to not realize you’re hung up on is society looks nothing like it did 100 years ago. In another 100 they won’t give a fuck about any of this.

If we take away the money, people still need to do shit if they want to survive. Fuck their money, do weird shit. Let the olds take it to the grave.
SF police plan to monitor video [from private cameras] ignites controversy
I appreciate a lot of what Gitlab has done, but as someone who has been permanently remote for nearly a decade, I don't really consider them to be a leader in remote work. One of my biggest issues with Gitlab is that they pay based on locality, many other fully remote companies pay below Bay Area salaries, but they pay flat globally, meaning you can be location-independent without a pay-cut and it helps to bring in high quality talent from across the world. Gitlab instead seems to be focused on maximizing revenue per headcount rather than actually allowing their employees to enjoy the benefits of remote work.

I spent many years working at companies where I was underpaid relative to peers who went to the office, but I got paid the same whether I was currently residing in Prague, Santiago, or Kansas City, and that was a much fairer trade-off than getting pay-cut if you relocate to a lower cost of living area, and I have no doubt that the reverse is not true (they don't increase pay because you move to a HCOL).
Thanks! More involved but more flexible it seems.
The developer documentation is absolutely top notch: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/devel/

Weird. I've had no issues on several recent versions of Mac. I use Brew to manage the base, add gcc, and use virtual environments. No issues whatsoever.
A failing test can only prove the existence of a bug. A passing test can not prove that there are no bugs.
Dude, I ask not because I broke rules, but because there has been a LOT of fear-promoting bullshit being posted, by users who post a LOT of fear-promoting bullshit, and you allow it, and them, to remain active.

You normally have a very even hand on the tiller. Your words are always calm and rational. You frequently kill posts that delve into disinformation and nuttery. And yet you allow fear-mongering posts and fear-mongering nitwits to continue to harm the society in which you live and the site you moderate.

What am I to think?

Not really, that’s just one (extreme) proposal. I understand the self-gratifying impulse to write something like that though: it absolves the responsibility and work of addressing the problem, and frustrates the conversation away from finding solutions toward justifying the need to find a solution at all. It even makes you feel clever for a half-second.

A cute rhetorical parlor trick.

On the other hand, it also increases the demand to rent property on AirBnB, if that's allowed and it's a desirable area. Tourists can pay more than locals.

In general, as costs go up, the more there is incentive to try to cater to wealthier customers.
I think we should enjoy this promise that we may soon be able own/control our computer devices(i.e run the software we want) not just to subscribe to services.
Excellent questions, and I was thinking the same thing. In my opinion, AI-generated art or images are not as impressive as they might seem at first purely because there is no real imagination involved. It's an art simulacrum.

A more accurate title would be "This picture of food does not exist."
There's both. The encryption (decryption) key has leaked. The original question was about "making your own microcode", for which you would need the (not leaked, and unlikely to leak) private signing key.
Isn't every "new style" just a novel combination of pre-existing concepts? Nothing new under the sun and all that.

Either way, I feel like your view is an exhaustingly pessimistic take on AI-generated art. I mean, sure, most of what DALL-E generates is pretty mundane, but other times I have been surprised at how bizarre and unique certain images are.

You seem to imply that because an AI is not human, its art is not imbued with meaning or originality -- but I find that an AI's non-human nature is precisely what _makes_ the art so original and meaningful.
I think they have to make side loading a painful developer only endeavor.

Other wise you can end up like the streaming situation where people are just giving up with all the subscriptions and just pirating everything.
Gitlab ideally wants clients in Silicon Valley but staff in Lahore.
Surprised by the lack of comments on the ethics of DALL-E being trained on artists content whereas copilot threads are chock full of devs up in arms over models trained on open source code. Isn’t it the same thing?
That was the problem. The regulars had killfiles to filter out the problem users and topics but somebody new just saw lots of junk (and if they posted the trolls would be the first to reply).

Thus nobody new joined the groups and they stagnated.

I quit Usenet 20 years ago and if I look at them now some of those same trolls are still around. Or they have migrated to facebook/twitter.
> that make it so the only way any application on the system can access the identifier is by permission from the user?

And let's say the user says No. Today the app will be forced to work without it. By Apple Store rules. Tomorrow the app will say "this permission is required for app to work".
10% of time-and-a-half (15% of normal) seems reasonable for time that you are expected to be able to do your own thing but stay available. I negotiated 25% of normal pay for similar things.

24 hours of call at 15%, where they never call you, becomes a half day of pay. If you get a call, whether brief or using the whole 2 hour chunk, you're basically paid for a full normal day. This all feels just and reasonable to both sides.

100% of overtime rate doesn't make sense to me because then they're paying just as much as they'd pay to have you actively work the entire time.
There is joy in wisdom and truth. But Postmodernism tells us there is no truth, and that PoMo folly has corroded the culture thoroughly.

> The interesting thing to me is that the Senate version of the bill is sponsored by a Republican, meaning it should easily pass, yet Democratic leadership has thus far remained uncommitted to getting a vote on the floor due to "other priorities" and a recess coming up.

Majority Leader Schumer has said he wants to bring it to the floor, but is working to assure that the Republican votes for it to pass (cloture, which takes 60 votes, more than the floor) are there first (that's been Schumer's MO on most things—if it's going to just get blocked by filibuster, he won't bring it up.)
XenForo is IMO currently the best general-purpose forum system out there. Tons of features while still keeping the essence of traditional forums; paginated, non-threaded lists of posts which aren't powered by gigantic globs of JS doing a bunch of XHRs and DOM manipulations before you can read anything.

Unfortunately it's a commercial product and the owners seem to be willing to revoke licenses if they get bothered enough about the existence of one of their licensees, as a certain New Zealand agricultural collective discovered last year.

Flarum and Discourse are more "modern" but not proper successors to the traditional forum experience, in my opinion. They're doing something else and I don't like it.
Angellists data is flawed here—- you ideally want to look at seeds that are completely new or coming from sub $2 million pre-seeds. They include seed extensions, seed extension extensions, high priced note extension to seed rounds, etc. and when the market slows down you see a lot of extension rounds which pushes that number up but those are not really new seed rounds.

There are a host of other way their data is flawed as well :) but that’s a much longer topic.
It hits pretty hard when you think about it. The "product distribution" cost is the same worldwide on the internet, vs a physical good like a soft drinks can.
ehhh, that's not what I said, and I find it a bit odd that you immediately reached for calling me a "groomer". Let me try to be a little more clear:

If you're showing up to a conversation that has no relation to the issue you described other than the fact that people are discussing Islam and you interject that so as to throw a topic off track, yes I can understand why they see it that way.

If you're showing up to a conversation regarding religion and child sexual exploitation and you mention that, then no I cannot understand why they see it that way.

That's a, generally, new-ish social standard so I was trying to give you, and them, some benefit of the doubt, but I think at this point I kind of get why you were banned.

And your tablet and your phone and your dashcam and your laptop and, hey, anything with a battery or screen.
Sort of, but that would give you the "social value" of the land, which it only has because of its present use and its proximity to other land used for specific purposes. E.g., the land under my house is worth $X because it's in a residential area in a major metropolitan area. If I were to build a dense mixed use complex on a large plot of land, I would probably increase the land value (since density would make it a desirable area).

Does LVT look at a piece of land's productive value instead (i.e., how much food you could grow on it or how many minerals you could mine out of it)?
Java person here. Yeah, Go looks a bit crufty, but they're gradually undoing the earlier opinionated choices that make me think that (Who needs generics? Who needs to tune the GC? Oh, our users do), but nah, we mainly hate on Scala when we have to maintain anything with Scala deps, just that damn ABI that's never compatible.
Yup, that was my same thought. I live in a "cheaper market" location (Mexico) and at some point looked about working in Gitlab as a Tech Lead / Sr. Dev or something similar, because I liked their service.

The problem is that when I saw their compensation tables for Mexico, their offer was going to cut my salary by about 30% of what I was actually earning (I think it was about $70k USD annual at most, I cannot find the calculator now), in another US company with an office in my hometown. Instead, I went to another US company which is also remote, and got a pay bump to $140,000 USD, working from my country.

I am not asking to get paid in FAANG Valley salaries ($400k+) but even paying me 50%-60% of what they pay to someoneone in the US makes a win-win situation IMHO.

To my knowledge there is no clear distinction between arranger keyboards and some more advanced home keyboards. For software, Korg had released their arranger wave-sequencing engine as a plugin. Yamaha has their cheapest hardware board Yamaha PSS-A50.

> “Friendly fraud is not always friendly, especially from a merchant’s perspective,” said Mike Lemberger, Senior Vice President of North America Risk at Visa.

Incredible quote, Mike must be the smartest guy in the whole company!
Trying ideas out with an expert in the field. Listening to their criticism. When they, or someone else, is confused by the operation of my work, understand that it could be a UI fail and make efforts to make clearer the communication between application and user. Above all else -- practice.

Being a good UI designer is like being a good writer -- your job is to communicate all that your audience needs to know, without overwhelming, confusing, or distracting them. A balance needs to be struck. What, in any given moment, does the user need to know? How do you arrange that information so that it's clear? How do you present the different choices to proceed to the user? It really boils down to, if the user knows at a glance what the situation is and what they can do next, you'll be fine.
> Instead the consumer should contact the merchant directly to resolve the dispute.

Hahaha. Have you tried this recently? I had a company ship us defective baby food with broken seals. They said they couldn’t refund but they were happy to ship us a replacement. When we said we wanted a refund instead, they said “whoops we already shipped it”. It arrived with more broken seals. I issued a chargeback. Got my money instantly.

Some merchants are bad. Visa’s whole value to me is that they insure me against these situations.
This is a serious issue that need to be solved directly, and not by carving out weird protected turfs for other monopolistic companies.

In the current situation a ton of websites are already bailing out and shoving mobile apps to their users instead of actually addressing Safari.
Instead of taxes, I prefer depreciation terms (see japan), which incentivizes new construction and does no harm to those that continue to occupy the land in old age. you’ll also find that older houses go down in value as expected.

Having lived in Texas for 20 years I find that hard to foresee as no state income tax is such an often used flex there but stranger shifts have happened.

I moved from an ostensibly low tax state, Texas, to one with an income tax but my overall burden for state costs is pretty much the same or slightly lower as property taxes are low and there is no sales tax (8%+ in Texas).

I was paying over $1500 month in property taxes in Houston burbs.

20M to put a bunch of easily available communist movies (to which they already owned copyrights?!) on a website. Why not "preserve heritage" by "restoring" pre-war movies that have been mostly forgotten and actually do need some real restoring? Could probably restore all of them for a few M tops. Sounds like a typical EU grafting scheme. This would never get funded without EU $.
Maybe instead of messing with the money via the fed and then finding volatility in housing we should just end the fed. Housing becomes a safe haven asset to avoid the other ramifications of fed policy namely inflation and the machinations of policy qe/qt, contractions and tightening. Yes it’s not in a vacuum but… we didn’t get here by accident.

Taxing and taxing higher on property is an assault on our ability or “own” property which is a freedom. Free societies have property ownership. Higher taxes whilst monetary devaluation seems like the system now wants to take away our ability to own things.

And, if you actually read the Lancet study and understand statistical estimates, it is clear that the Lancet study does not say this at all. There is no mention of long-term immune depression in the abstract, because there is no statistically significant support for that conclusion. After 8 months, the line they show does go below zero (suggesting more infections in vaccinated people) but the error bars include zero, supporting the more sensible conclusion that at some point, the vaccine is not effective. But there is no evidence that the vaccine actually raises risk, which is the argument proposed.
I think Ponzi is an overstatement, though I agree with the general sentiment.

There's in principle nothing wrong with clusters of companies that are inter-dependent on selling stuff to each other. Car parts manufacturers live and die by the big car companies - and to some degree vice versa - but we would hesitate to call that a Ponzi scheme.

The key is whether or not this clustered ecosystem is bringing in money from the outside. Somebody in the ecosystem has to be making money from the "outside" world. It's the sustainability of this outside connection that really matters.

For a lot of SaaS companies I think the rude wakeup is that the "outside" source of money was never an actual business but instead was just endless rounds of VC cash. Likewise (and IMO more offensively) with crypto the "outside" money source was hyped-up retail investors (and hyped-up VCs) and not any actual useful business.

I do agree though - the VC sphere has spent the last 10+ years building up an entire web of companies that inter-depend on each other but where the "outside money" was always highly dubious. This is distinctly unlike the older crop of BigTech companies where the outside money is (relatively) stable: actual advertising, actual hardware in people's hands...
I'm only responding in kind. People ought to recognize how they come across in discourse, for the purposes of good faith discussion all around. What better way than to hold up a mirror? Or do we expect egos to be so domineering that they cannot recognize their own behavior in the reflection?

I don't think it's imperative to disguise contempt for those who are so obviously not engaging in good faith. Doing so only provides cover for that same bad faith actor to abuse the culture of respectability politics and antagonize others.
It cuts both ways. You could make a very strong argument that "friendly fraud" is the single reason that the porn industry is having to turn to crypto. Husbands are frequently caught by their spouses and, while pretending that the charge was fraudulent, commit "friendly fraud" themselves.

I, for one, am very happy to see Visa taking steps against this. We've kvetched for years over how how much power payment processors have in the system and now they're finally doing something about it (themselves, to boot!).
> We believe that it is ideal that the media gives us clear accurate unbiased information and that is what should be happening...

I think the problem is that most people don't really believe that. I mean they'll claim that's their platonic ideal if asked, but in private their information consuming habits will be wall-to-wall Newsmax and straight up unhinged Youtube channels. Their goal isn't to arrive at accurate facts that reflect reality, whether it's through finding unbiased information sources or interpolating between conflicting biases as you suggested. They want the bias, just in their preferred direction.

Many commenters in this thread seem to be against this change, but looking at the article they seem... pretty reasonable?

>With this change, if merchants can provide additional data or evidence to show that the disputed charge is valid, then the dispute will be invalid.

>This change will empower merchants to protect themselves against first party misuse by enabling them to submit additional evidence that a purchase was indeed legitimate and authorized by the cardholder in order to stop the dispute claim. Additional examples that can help identify that a purchase is legitimate include a customer using the same payment credential previously at the merchant, login credentials, proof of use of a product and more.
I am not sure I understand the problem. Why is everyone telling about VISA? Do you deal directly with VISA?

Here in France (and generally, the EU) your interlocutor is a bank that happens to deliver VISA or Mastercard cards.

If something is wrong, you contact your bank which is obligated to give you back the money and then does an investigation afterwards.
