This seems on the right track. On the notion of ”programming is a tool to solve problems that you have in the domain of computers” though:

Writing a computer program serves two separate purposes: to communicate a set of functions to the machine, but also to communicate the purpose of these functions to a human. The former is for execution and the latter is for code review and, later, debugging.

Any old clown can get a computer to do something approximating a solution to the problem at hand. If it has bugs then the author — or more likely some other poor sap down the line — will be on the hook to first understand the intent, and then make the code match the intent.

In a professional shop you will have code review where this “debugging” step happens first. Your reviewer will read your code to infer your intent and upon agreeing with that, check your style and composition for inconsistencies or lack of clarity.

To that extent, a large codebase is akin to a mathematical proof where each new module and function represents a lemma on which the final proof depends. No serious scientist would present their thesis without a progression of isolated and carefully laid out lemmas and corollaries, and no serious programmer throws up a thousand line function with 15 arguments, global state, and — if in a dynamic language like Python — inconsistent return types.

Your code is a proof to your reviewer that you are on the right track. The fact that it happens to execute without bugs and produces the correct output is far less important than the code being readable, comprehensible, and consistent as part of the larger system.
Opression is necessary to development. Looking back for the cruelest opressions done by some nations towards American Indian, Asian, African in the early and haydays of industrial revolution.

You are going to see opressions happening again and again in the future as well. It's just a natural process of society development.
In my case, it does not have to be liquid. Any investments count, including IRA/529 and other accounts. The 2% cash back cards generally have no requirements.

I am going to have those same investments anyway in VOO at one brokerage or another, so there is no opportunity cost.

You are correct that it is sort of a wealth transfer from poorer to richer. But merchants are free to offer discounts for non credit card purchases, and they do many times.

I'm not aware of any place that has a ban on tartar, just it isn't common outside of continental style fining dining. I've certainly had it in several states, more than I can remember.

Google's dominant position makes them a problem for democracy even without malice. The problem is very close to that of having only a single newspaper. No matter what you choose to show, no matter how you select it, you will unavoidably create a bias.
Even if this is the case, do you honestly not think the tradeoff is worth it? Lifting a billion people out of crushing poverty seems worth it even if it came at the cost of giving a dictatorship stronger geopolitical influence.

The Amazon/Chase credit card gets you a 5% Amazon credit for everything you spend at Whole Foods. That pretty much destroys their profit margin on a lot of what they sell. Given that I do all my grocery shopping there (for now), and I spend a lot on food, that's $840/year plus or minus.

My regular Chase card gives me 1.5% of everything I spend back as cash. That's typically about $1k/year.

I pay nothing in (direct) card fees at all.
I didn't see my trick mentioned yet: add in a sunrise app to the mix. I can wake up easier in midwinter now, because there is a simulated sunrise beside my bed that starts 20 minutes earlier than my audio alarm. You can also do this with smart light bulbs but the phone light works well enough for me.

The apps I use are Gentle Wakeup for the sunrise feature and AMdroid for audio alarms with "missions" as OP puts it.

There might be an opening in subscriptions. Those merchants know their customers, and may be willing to take on fraud risk for material bump in revenue.

The flaws in the RBMKs which were known before Chernobyl were fixed afterwards (with changes that had been proposed before Chernobyl) in the other reactors that were kept running, though.

The benefit of credit cards is no one can literally drain your bank account via fraudulent access to a payment card directly tied to your bank (i.e. debit card in US nomenclature). This is a clear benefit regardless of location. Courts are slow and not scalable, and you don't want to be in a scenario where your bank has been drained right before you need to make important payments.
Hey folks, I wrote about my approach to writing integration tests for a WASM program.
I didn't bought house for 10 years but when I finally did, I realized the ownership of house essentially meant living in it without actually paying for it. The house appreciated so much that if we sell then it will be like we actually got paid to live in the house! So, the moral of the story is that renting sometimes used to make sense in the past but it no longer does because of massive appreciation that we now expect. This appreciation is also well protected because if government allows fall then people will push that government out. The governments must keep doing QEs to just stay in power. So it's essentially government secured investment to live rent free. This fact then drives obsession to own the house. This creates need to create more money and do series of multi-year QEs.
It's interesting/neat, but it doesn't make use of e.g. nixpkgs' beautifully maintained python package distribution, leaving you with all the same pitfalls of pip/pypi as any other buildpack. And I don't imagine the end result will be a "pure" artefact, and so I can't see how they'd be able to safely remove the build-time packages from the final image.
Looks like the vulnerability was something to do with incorrect JIT optimisations on Maps and Sets, if the included tests are any indication.
As long as people can't afford to buy they're "less invested" so no reason to address housing affordability... In the modern housing market that's a self fulfilling prophecy.

For all the red-tape and corruption we have here, I still think India has done a phenomenal job with UPI payments. I mean I don't even remember the last time I used my credit card considering I have even forgotten the pin codes now.

One or two other thing I love about these UPI payments is that it doesn't seem to incur any 2 or 3% commissions(1) which is both great for the consumer and the merchant (as these costs would eventually be passed to the customer anyway). Also almost every cc machine, website and panwala has a the QR codes now so no need to carry a wallet or plastic cards. I can make payments of Rs.5 and that's fine.

I don't even carry a wallet anymore to a mall or any place since my driver's lic/reg is in the digilocker app(2) and the credit card is the gpay/phonepe app.

(1) Not really sure if there is or will be later, since I'm not a fintech person, but from what I can tell I don't see any commission on UPI payments yet.

> $25/month subscription fee is incredibly cheap

Cheap?! That's $300/yr, and is more expensive than most credit card annual fees (for cards that even have annual fees). And with FedNow you don't get any credit card benefits. I mean, I pay $550/yr for one of my credit cards, but I get like $2k of value out of it per year in benefits. Why would I want to pay $300/yr for something that lets me do something I can already do, for free or "cheaper than free"?
I've always though the biggest problem with the criminal justice system in the United States is that it somehow manages a weird trick of being both too lax and too punitive.

Punishment is very severe on the face of it. Long jail sentences; even the death penalty is possible in more then a few places. Even after you've served time a criminal record will affect you for the rest of your life.

The effect of that though is a weird laxness. The harsher the penalty the greater the temptation to give people multiple chances. The greater the penalty the more effort you need to put in to making sure that the person you're putting away really committed the crime. All of this means it takes longer to actually convict anyone. All of which increases the temptation to let people out on bail while the wheels of justice are turning.

The end result is that people commit multiple crimes with no consequences until they finally trip the line and the consequences are a metric ton of bricks falling right on their heads. And this is affecting people who almost by definition are not good at making long term plans on possible future rewards or problems - if they were they'd be tax payers.

A better system would - in my opinion - be one that comes down very fast with relatively small consequences on criminal behavior. If I knew that people who shoplifted $20 worth of goods were almost certainly going to spend a week in jail - even if there would be no record of them doing that jail time anywhere - I honestly think that kind of petty crime would be greatly lessened.

Frankly (and please don't ask me Kitty Dukakis type questions ) I think the general principle goes all the way through criminal conduct.

You borrow someone's phone? Have people forgotten how to talk and help each other? It is very rare for phones to get stolen or break down, and when they do it is a lot easier to borrow a phone to pay for a Taxi than it is to beg for the money for a Taxi ride, so the situation still seems better than what we had before.

Main thing stopping this would be that most phone OS doesn't seem to support guest logins, but that is an easy technicality to fix as long as there is demand for it which there will be as phones becomes more important.
Don't think of it as a credit card. Think of it as payment mechanism. It comes with certains costs (to some users, and to all merchants) and also with certain benefits. It also comes with a certain aggregate cost to the whole of society, since essentially prices are increased to cover fees, and then some fraction of the fees are refunded to the wealthiest users (redistribution, just more subtle than taxes).

I picked up a Xerox laser a year or so ago, it's working fine w/ Ubuntu, macOS and Windows on my home network, though it was a little squirrely to get set up (now that it is, I leave it on wifi in a spare room, but to configure it via its web interface it needed to be cabled in).
The same type of argument can be made about any specific issue. For instance, labor rights is incredibly broad. I don't think it's a realistic requirement for someone to care about every possible labor-rights issue. It's fine if people want to be selective.
In the US, there are legally few limitations as long as you inform the customer. However all of the major credit cards have "most favored nation" clauses in their service agreements that prohibit charging any less for competing payment systems.

As a side note, many government services aren't allowed to eat the transaction cost, so they actually do pass the cost to the consumer (e.g. when I pay my annual car registration, an ACH (electronic check) payment is the same as paying cash in person, but a credit card has an additional fee tacked on.

I think the opportunity is for platforms that can manage risk. Consumers are more likely to give direct bank account access to platforms that they trust. For example, Apple's App Store is well-positioned to run subscriptions over ACH, and they have the consumer trust to get some adoptoin.

But, then you're trading one evil for another - because Apple will want their cut, too.

At the end of the day - it's a battle between value centers and cost centers. Businesses would generally rather make more money than save money.
> Why would I use credit card at all?

Float. If I charge $10k to a card, I get an interest-free loan until the balance has to be paid off. In a zero-rate environment that's meaningless. But even at the 30-day's 2.22% [1], that's almost twenty bucks. I'm probably paying about 1% more for the CC fees, but I can use my card that gives me 1.5% back on everything.

What is "SDN", how is it different from the thing that everyone else has called "VPN" for a few decades, and why not just have its resolver serve answers for the same TLD? Or better yet why not just route your home subnet over the VPN subnet (probably with a high metric, so that it doesn't override "real" routes) so you don't need a different IP?

Match is extremely useful though. It's in use on a few systems I control to allow password authentication from certain subnets.

They're not necessarily plagiarized anymore than a human artist plagiarizes from looking at an existing image. If you accepted this, Disney would basically own every animation ever made.

StableDiffusion is a 10GB model made from 100TB of images, so there probably isn't even room to have memorized inputs - there's also some built-in defenses against that.

It's possible to make an AI that does explicitly make collages out of inputs (that goes under "fine tuning") and such a thing would be useful. OpenAI has a similar paper about a text AI that cites its sources called WebGPT.

The idea of repurposing coal powered plants and leveraging the turbines that were already built, then drilling holes next to these plants to generate geothermal energy is absolutely brilliant. I'm surprised more people haven't heard of this company.

This, absolutely. It is totally embarrassing to watch my UK family or EU friends interact with their banking systems and compare it with the US.

> Apple's App Store is well-positioned to run subscriptions over ACH, and they have the consumer trust to get some adoptoin

You have to get one side to trust it. Visa and MasterCard succeeded by making it easy for consumers. The counterpunch is likely in winning over merchants. If Netflix or Spotify gave me a small discount for running over alternate payment rails, I don't need to trust the intermediary, I trust Netflix or Spotify to not screw a decade-long customer over pennies.
