Fan Theorists Are Shaping Modern TV
I'm a white dude, and had an incident a number of years ago in which a group of Indian contractors basically didn't want to work with me because I was a white dude. Used a number of slang racist terms in my direction. I didn't make a stink about it because I was a consultant just there on a short-term project, but it was memorable. As another commenter suggested, even the whole "white people" branding that happens in social media is comical, given centuries of one white group looking down on another white group. I'm glad to see this kind of social dialog about racism / classism in all of its forms and think it is very worthwhile to realize that it isn't just about the stereotype of white (males) hating on everyone else as is generally portrayed.

> If you want a general complaint, perhaps the angle is that capital is taxed much less than labor, under some notion that lower taxation is necessary to get people with capitol to actually deploy it in investments.

Yes, I recall when cap gains taxes dropped significantly during GWB and was, sadly, happy. Of course, I was just a dumb 20-something and didn't realize how much of boon to the wealthy it was.

Q2 of 2020 was one of the weirdest quarters in American history. From covid lockdowns to race riots, to heightened police-civilian tensions; there was nothing normal about it.

I would love to see these exact same graphs juxtaposed against a normal year such as 2019.

Anecdotally, the crime rates in west coast blue city downtowns have skyrocketed. It seems impossible to park your car in Seattle/Portland/SF downtowns and not have it be broken in. The average junkie seems to have gotten more aggressive and bashful too.

I think the idea is to reduce (its reduce, reuse, recycle in order of preference) as a bag of toner needs less resources than a cartridge.

The internet indicates a 5k page cartridge costs ~5kg of CO2 to make, and each trip to the recycling center costs ~1kg of CO2 (rough average cost of shipping a package).

A 5k page pouch in a box weighs 0.2kg, assuming a 4x weight->CO2 cost (high end of plastic production), it comes out to 0.8kg of CO2 per pouch. This is less than the CO2 cost of shipping back the cartridge for recycling.

If you assume the cost of return shipping and recycling is free, the cartridge will need to last >6 times to be worth it from a initial cost perspective. The figures I can find on cartridge lifetimes is 3-4 recycles before they are too worn to recycle again.

Even though its single use, its still a net win from a lifecycle perspective.

This is certainly not my area so I could be missing something basic. But after you sell a property, why shouldn't that force a reevaluation on past depreciation writeoffs? In idkyall's post, they mention the scenario of depreciating your property down to an effective value of $0 and then selling to buy another property to start again. You've argued that this only covers a fraction of your income. But at a basic level, if you get enough from the sale to buy a new property, then the old one must have been worth much more than $0 so one was wrong for decades about claimed depreciation ... right? In which case, it seems like it should be natural and fair to have to pay up on taxes from those previous years.

If I can invest in real estate, rent it out for decades, and then sell it at a significant profit (which seems to be the case in many in-demand cities), then why should _any_ amount of that rental income get a to be balanced against imaginary depreciation?

You are correct, with a subtle modification: there are a "Close Window" and "Exit Application" mode in some popular X-based windowed apps (see: VSCode). Some apps, like Eclipse, solve this by hosting the child windows in a parent container. But then you lose screen real estate.

But you always need ONE child window open or it will exit entirely.

MacOS has a different approach, where the application top level process keeps running, even if it has no windows, but this requires some sort of GUI element to communicate with application.
Thanks so much! I learned a ton with this project so it's great to hear that I communicated it well :)

Leaving aside the career and intellectual aspects, consider your brain's reward system.

With big problems, you work a long time in ambiguity, and may never get a clear positive result. People may never care what you did. Lots of difficulty, little reward. The only way is to really believe in the value of what you're doing, typically as a contribution to humanity or at least the field.

In debugging, there's the rush of a new problem, the chase, and the solution. Couple that with the excitement/necessity/importance of being on call, and there's quite a thrill, plus a social persona as someone heroic and necessary.

So yes, debugging can be addictive.

The brain's reward system is very difficult to reprogram. After you get used to the reliable quick hits, it's very, very hard to go back to long-deferred gratification founded on a values-based identity.

You can tell you're addicted when nothing else seems interesting, you're impatient, and you can't really see yourself doing anything else. Often, the alternative opens up a whole can of worms about who you are, the value of your life, etc. So you don't.

Remember, Dr. House was an addict in pain, using work investigations to distract himself from his social isolation.

The reward system locks in valuations mostly by changing receptor populations. These take weeks or more to revert to the norm. The system also creates neuronal connections, which may never really atrophy to nothing. So stopping means a few days of angst and frustration, a few weeks of feeling out of it, and life-long defenses against falling back into it.

Here's a different recipe for impedance matching:

- When you're bored, try something larger, faster, and more challenging

- When you're overwhelmed, try something smaller, slower, and more exacting

Few have the self-understanding to realize their perspective is being shaped by their activities. The wisest choose their activities to produce the kind of perspective they aspire to. Only young adults have this opportunity. Kids have no perspective, and older adults are bound up in their psychological, social, and economic context to escape (unless some precipitating trauma severs their attachments).

The price reflects the consensus knowledge of participants. Insiders cannot participate. Therefore, the price is accurate. Addition of new knowledge will happen in time, therefore I maintain this is a latency issue not an accuracy issue. The markets don't price in the future, they guess it.
I love how they market that as protecting the end user from counterfeit.
My understanding is you can still use CISS at a smaller scale, for example here's a 'mini' setup I came across: http://new.proinkshop.com/index.php?route=product/product&pa...

I've hesitated on actually trying this though as there's usually some details about keeping an old firmware version or something to make it work.
So what amount of disk bandwidth/usage is involved?

For instance, say that I have 30TB of disk space used and it is across 3 replicas , thus 3 systems.

When I kick off the deep scrub operation, what amiunt of reads will happen on each system? Just the smaller amount of metadata or the actual full size of the files themselves?
> For example my current "transactions" table has fromUserId and toUserId columns (1 user = 1 account) and so purchases/transfers/reloading your account all take just 1 row

This is what double-entry looks like in a database.

It's a nanoscale form of plenoptic imaging. You can type that search term in YouTube to see large scale DIY versions of the principle. Typically you have a sheet tiled with tiny lenses, each of which acts as a kind of angle-dependent pixel. A 1-dimensional version of this principle can be seen in "lenticular" images, which are the ridged plastic 3d "holograms" you sometimes get in gift shops. In the case of this paper, they've done some funky lithography stuff and made ultra-tiny reflective mirrors, instead of chunky plastic refractive lenses.

A downside to making the "lenses" this small is the physics of diffraction. The precision with which you can steer a "beam" of light (actually a propagating wavefront) is directly proportional to the size of the thing you're steering it with - hence why JWST has such an enormous mirror. This is probably why they say the limit of "projection" is 8cm - deep projection demands high angular precision, and probably their system gets blurry very quickly the further from the film you try and project something.
"If my father croaks and leaves me $1m it should count as an additional $1m of income to me that year. "

If it is $1m in property value, do you count that as still $1m of income? If so unless the child is in great financial situation with a lot of already liquid cash, they would be forced to sell part/all of the property to pay the taxes.

If a parent croaks and has a small business, mom and pop style. How would that be handled? If they had a small corner store making 100k/profit but has no assets vs a shop that sells very expensive equipment making 100k/yr in profit. But has hundreds of thousand in assets that would pass down.

> home is incentivized to ensure their investment is maximized and that results in a lot of NIMBYism

I'm not sure a lot of NIMBYism comes from the notion of protecting home values.

If a home were to be upzoned for apartments the underlying land value would rise significantly, and this would be a significant financial windfall for the home owner. They should want to see their land be upzoned for apts but that's not what we see.

I think NIMBYism derives from the desire for exclusivity. When ones home and surrounding homes are ultra low density you are guaranteed to have few neighbours. This is what is eliminated when homes are rezoned for apartments.
The vast majority of states have no excuse absentee voting and/or early in-person voting options. In addition, employees are legally required to allow time off to vote, though in the overwhelming majority of states, the early voting options make this unnecessary.

https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/

If people want to participate, they have many options.

I've found that if you need to argue edge cases (single parent, hourly schedule that almost completely overlaps poll hours, no absentee, no early voting or mail-in, and an employer that violates law) as you have in your post, you do not have a compelling argument.

In my opinion, there are 3 types of people who get into law enforcement.
1. People who legitimately want to serve and protect their communities.
2. People who want a steady government paycheck and benefits.
3. People who have a psychological need to be in control of other people.
Ruby meta-hacking: Looking under the hood (2016)
Yeah, but that's not the only function. Which is why US exchanges have the notion of the Intermarket Sweep Order, etc.
People in the comments here seem stuck in the weeds around various laws and tax incentives.

The overarching issue is that housing (something everyone needs) is being treated as an asset class.

As an asset class people who own it want it to increase in price which gives the government an incentive to maintain and increase this value.

Unfortunately this makes it more and more expensive for people who need housing.

Decoupling housing from investment is the solution but it is politically unpalatable now given the state we are in.

That is the real problem. Everything else is just a symptom of it.
Indeed this "test" is laughable.
"the drivers had time to get to know the cars and their infotainment systems" really though? Like an hour? Is it their personal car?
"...By photographing the same driver in all cars..." How many drivers were involved and how long did they use their car?

A photo of the winning 2005 Volvo V70 shows it is a pure traditional all controls, zero screen interface. So only intentions that are possible in that era are testable. It is not feasible to have a button for every possible command today.

I've been driving Audis for several years, with their rotary dial interface, and it takes a maddening amount of time to do anything, so much that I often just give up and don't do whatever task I was trying to accomplish.

On a touchscreen, I can be driving along, then
1. take perhaps 0.1s to glance at the screen
2. while watching the road, move my hand to hover a finger where I think is the right place.
3. take another 0.1s glance where my finger is. If I was right, just tap and immediately look back at the road.
4. If I was wrong, while watching the road, adjust and repeat.

At no time am I ever looking away from the road for more than a fraction of a second, and since I don't have to think about finding where some "currently highlighted screen element cursor" is, my mind is relaxed to focus on driving, and each glance at the screen is just to look at EXACTLY what I know is the location of the feature I want to touch.
Hopefully they try out any names in Google Translate before choosing them. Kot can mean shit (German), meat (Swedish) and cat (Lots of languages, which is really good since the mascot looks a bit like a cat). Diacritics change the meaning quite a lot.

Little known infosec trivia: the BorderWare firewall was originally known as Janus, after the Roman god of gates, transitions, etc. But they changed the name to BorderWare (the company at the time was Border Network Technologies) when they discovered it was pretty much universally pronounced like Anus just about everywhere outside of North America.
Lipstick on a Pig: learning the most important lesson in design
More importantly, the USDA/FDA seem to significantly draw back what they consider their duty by the time the product leaves a distributor. You can order a nearly raw burger, or straight up tartare at plenty of restaurants, with the only heads up being a small notice in fine print that it could kill you, which I'm not even sure is a regulation but possibly instead a liability thing.

The FDA/USDA is just trying to stop giant companies from distributing only shit products with no alternatives like it was (supposedly) in the 20s. If you buy a cow and drink it's milk straight from the udder, the FDA does not care.
I don't think you understand how asymmetric information in markets works. I would suggest reading "The Market for Lemons".

Can it get the font rendering to the level that macOS or iOS have? If yes, then it's getting there.
The few things that scream to me that I'm not using a mac:

1. Antialiasing of fonts, how crisp and clear does it look on my screen? Windows has struggled with this especially after ClearType.

2. Alignment of elements in various applications. The traffic light window controls look way too far into the app's header. Find a happy medium, copy macOS's spacing.

3. Is the contrast in colors strong enough to tell me this was designed by someone who has some design (hopefully color theory background) or was it just an attempt to use many colors?
5. Make it legal to build more houses

We got into this hole by making it illegal to build. For example, it is illegal to build a building with 5 or more homes in 90% of San Francisco. (Buildings with 3 or more homes are illegal in 70%.)

I appreciate galaxy-brained legislation as much as the next policy wonk, but the solution in this case is simple. Making it legal to build homes → greater supply of homes. Greater supply → lower prices.

Ever notice that cars are not that expensive, even though many people absolutely need them and they're very complex machines with high safety standards? It helps that it's legal to build them.

Our current situation is like if we made it illegal to produce new cars. Cars would get really expensive, and you'd had a bunch of people saying maybe you shouldn't be able to write off your rental car depreciation, or own a car you aren't driving, and that producing more cars can't possibly be the solution because most new cars are "luxury cars" and how exactly does more luxury cars help the car affordability problem again?

Sorry, that got off the rails a bit. It's possible that some of your suggestions would be necessary too. But when you find yourself in a hole, your first step to getting out is to stop digging.
In a $300 printer? What do you want?
