The site guidelines don't ask people to take the "strongest plausible interpretation" (emphasis added). That's not quite the same thing. I didn't see a plausible interpretation of your comment that wasn't unduly personal—hence my reply.

Interpretation depends on past experiences and associations. Since everyone's are unique, no two people will always share the same interpretations. It gets worse when all we have are little bits of text to understand each other through. For example, if you had spoken those words and I had heard your tone of voice, it's quite possible I would have interpreted you differently.

On the other hand: you can't go strictly by intent, either, because intent is internal to the person whose intent it is. No one else has access to that (we're not mind readers) so the burden is on the commenter to disambiguate it.

That's not how this work. Sanction violation is a strict liability offense - it is incumbent on companies to make sure they don't violate sanctions.

With this statement Tether is.. dumb? It's impossible for them to claim they didn't know about it.

They are domiciled in Hong Kong, but BitFienex (their sister company) recently agreed to pay $18M+ in fines to New York for finance law violations so it's not like they are beyond the reach of US law.
The book Central Banking 101, by Joseph Wang, is a good deep-dive on how the accounting works on the central-banking side when money is created, etc.
I learned them in elementary school (in the US) as starting at 1. Indeed, Google's first result for natural number is from Oxford Languages, and defines natural number as:

the positive integers (whole numbers) 1, 2, 3, etc., and sometimes zero as well.
This is how it should be, but the only country in the world, AFAIK, that does it that way is Germany.
France emits 60 grams of CO2 for every KWh of electricity generated. Germany emits over 300 grams of C02 for the same electricity. The one that's fuddling numbers is the one that's trying to paint the latter as more successful than the former at cubing climate change, despite the vastly larger greenhouse gas emissions.
The messaging does seem excessive and hostile.

It says "Managed by your organization." every time you click the menu button. It's even in a different background color and bigger margins.

If you click it, it says "Your administrator can change your browser setup remotely. Activity on this device may also be managed outside of Chromium. Learn more"

I made the policy myself and copied it myself. The remote part is purely conjecture on part of Google. The second part about further management also feels out of place.

Then on every setting that's been changed by policy there's a building icon that says "This setting has been changed by your administrator." That's probably the only message that needs to be there.

On its own it seems innocent and useful, but compare this to the number of steps you have to take to eg.: delete Google cookies.
The ephemeral IPv6 addresses are just the IPv6 privacy extensions at work. They're just following RFCs

I guess their router stack provides this for free, while the "Zwangstrennung" (disconnect every 24h) was implemented somewhere on their side. So it's actually easier now for them
Sure, and I stand by that. Government regulation should be limited in its scope and we should have laws that mandate how they are created. For example here are some ideas.

1. regulations should be made at the lowest level of government for which it's effective. If states make a regulation that cannot be shown to be more effective because it's administered at the state level rather than the county or city or neighborhood level, it should be struck down. This would get rid of a lot of contentious federal regulation which currently polarizes the country needlessly.

2. Regulations should not infringe upon property rights such as the right to build on your property as you please. There's a major differenc between 'this is an eyesore' and 'this produces toxic waste that leaks onto my property'. The former should not be a regulation the government can legally make. The latter can because it impedes property rights of others.

I can go on.

These are the sort of meta-regulations I think we should have. Honestly, just these two would render many existing regulations already illegal, and they would have to be re-implemented at a more appropriate level of government or scrapped altogether for something different (like a land-use process where instead of zoning, certain lists of activities or activities that the developer should reasonably expect to cause pollution to to other properties require special authorization).

But again to be pedantic, my initial response is quite clear that not all regulation should be illegal. If I meant that I would have said 'all regulation should be illegal'. So let's stop putting words in each other's mouths and pretending we have the high ground.
The way they did it shows lack of experience as well, as this will enforce the change to all users rather than simply change the default profile settings upon creation.

Good email client UI may help facilitate a better information sharing practice

I'm a mathematician, and 0-based indexing makes way more sense to me.

Dijkstra's argument (https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/ewd08xx/EWD831.PDF) is that we count the number of predecessors. This fits well with the mathematical usage, at least among mathematicians who care to dig into the order-theoretic foundations: the von Neumann construction of ordinals (and of cardinals as least ordinals of a fixed, well, cardinality), each finite ordinal is equal to its cardinality: 0 = \emptyset is a set with 0 elements, 1 = {0} is a set with 1 element, 2 = {0, 1} is a set with 2 elements, etc.
> If someone says "black lives matter," what are people meant to make of that? I know the snarky response is to say that it means that "black lives matter," but what does that really mean?

That shouldn't really need explaining, but since you ask, in many scenarios black people are treated as if they matter less than other people. In the justice system. By the police. Education. Employment opportunities. It's a declaration that black people matter as much as anybody else.

There is more to it than that. I can't claim to be an expert. In principal the idea seems pretty simple though.

> Decoupled from any course of actions being prescribed, for the majority of ....

I'm not sure what any of that means. The zeitgeist you say? The latest thing (TM)? You seem to think "Black Live Matters" is some kind of unknowable thing, but now your using terms that super nebulous and hardly likely to be broadly agreed upon.

> There are a few things wrong with this statement. If a guy goes to a "pussy hat" march with the intention of getting girls, are you confident in calling that "virtuous regardless?" The virtue of a thing is often inextricably linked to the motive, and you're dismissing motive out of hand.

It is arguably less virtuous. But the guy still did a virtuous thing in helping the people on the march at least in the eyes of the people on the march presumably.

> Secondly, you're saying that no better paths are suggested.

Yes. Generally speaking.

> Let's go back to BLM and try to map that onto a suggested course of action.

No lets not.

The article is about electric vehicles. So now is an opportunity for you to suggest a better path. You have not.

Moreover the example you use BLM? I mean you claim to not to really know what it means. If you don't know what it means it's hard to take the rest of it very seriously.

> 1. Virtue is linked to motive in many (most) peoples' analyses.

Therein lies part of the rub with "virtual signaling" concept. To invoke it assumes you know what the motivation is.

> 2. Actions are rarely, if ever, universally regarded as virtuous, or the proper course of action

That is not a requirement of the critique.
Google may be a bit limited due to their monopolistic position. Many of the more devastating things they could do would probably skirt pretty close to anti-competitive behavior.
Leary seemed to have been much more public, radical, prestigious and famous. He had the authority as a popular Harvard professor, so when he began to influence the counterculture on matters of policy and action it was duly noted by the mainstream media and governmental establishment. President Nixon called him "the most dangerous man in America." Nixon rightly recognized that Leary personified every force opposing him: anti-war, anti-authority, anti-consumerist. He was the head of the snake to be culled, and Nixon was so successful we are still grappling with the aftermath more than 50 years later.
I've been shopping around for alternatives to Texas, and Chattanooga, TN just jumped to the top of my list.

I definitely couldn't take direct advantage of 25 gigabit/s service myself. But, I do enjoy the idea of it attracting certain types of businesses & people to an area and creating opportunities that might not be possible elsewhere.

Also, the fact that this sort of internet service is possible in an area gives me hope for the leadership.
Ingo Swann said at the talk I attended that the government managers always hated their remote viewing program, so they had to get results right from the start. As soon as the Soviet Union was no more they said ‘thank God we can finally get rid of this awful program.’ The problem was that they liked the idea that there can be “secrets”.

It started as a threat assessment.

Good to know! I was wary about naming names and am now bummed I labeled them wrongly, but had wanted to illustrate a familiar example of skepticism towards a system as distinct from debate within a system.
I think you can run Svelte-compiled Javascript in Deno today -- it's just Javascript, after all.

Having the compiler not depend on NodeJS would mean you could live in either (Deno+Rust) or (Deno+WASM) ecosystems fully.
Between how widespread it is, how easily it transmits and how likely it is to seriously mess you up, it's not really low risk. Even if it was low risk, it would still mean that the underlying risk of infectious diseases in our society has gone up. Returning to our previous practices would require our risk tolerance to have gone up, not down.

> [We don't do that with the flu.]

I do think we've historically been too blasé about the flu. We ought to be treating it more seriously than we do -- a lot of those things you say we don't do with the flu are things we perhaps should be doing.

> We also currently have a new autumn booster programme being prepared for the Omicron variant.

It's only available for above-50s. We can do better than this.
Do they also accept proxied requests for domains that are not yet verified?
Rest of the series is pretty decent up to last book which is a collection of stories.

My favourite though is the independent novella God Engines.
It is cool, but I imagine it's expensive. Tried their site with a random address, and 10Gig is $300/month...their 1Gig is $68/month. 25Gb isn't yet listed.
> They’re automatically incumbent upon all citizens to follow.

It's more than that - non-US companies that don't follow them are generally seen as sanction violators and end up sanctioned themselves.
Mostly meant SPF/DKIM to verify the sender is authorized to send emails for a particular domain. Verifying that "it is actually the person Karrot_Kream who wrote that email" is harder; but I don't think you can blame that on the SMTP protocol.
IMAPv4 definitely could use some improvements and I think there is room for new standards, like JMAP. Email servers should use some form of checksumming on emails to determine changes between clients.
The top comment in this thread is the claim that it is a dark pattern, and many of the children comments are supporting that, so maybe consider that your perspective is not the majority one, or it's at least not as clear as you suggest.
#1 all-time favorite, maybe: If you're always looking for productivity tips, that can point to a blind spot in doing your own analysis of your own productivity / scheduling, and an opportunity to analyze your stuff and infer your own best-fit tips.

PS I have linked a bunch of my own productivity articles & systems in my profile in case it can be helpful.
Dijkstra's argument (https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/ewd08xx/EWD831.PDF) is that the index counts the number of predecessors.

I think an age-based way to phrase it: in your 1st year, your age is 0; in your 2nd year, your age is 1; and so on. We can assign people numbers indicating what year of their lives they're in, or how many years they have lived, and both are fine, but we've settled on the latter.
I'm interested to hear more about your tailwind rewrite? Any interesting challenges and any plans on open sourcing it?
> SQLite runs critical systems on the A350 in flight.

Can you document that? I was under the impression that they used SQLite for on ground simulations?
The chart I posted is tested using a very exacting tool and even the 3090 has a 30ms latency on 120hz and that's about as good as it gets. So you shouldn't take these numbers in a vacuum but more comparatively. GFN on 120hz is better than a 3060 on native in 60hz.

The tool tests time from button click to muzzle flash. It's not a 80ms delay on every motion, this is the total latency including the time the game takes to react to an input and fires a gun. It's hard to know how much base latency there is, the game could decide to wait a few ms before doing anything who knows, so I wouldn't read into that. Things like spinning around in a circle feels flawless. This chart should really be used comparatively.
I'll try them, thanks!
It started out to build a smart power grid, and I can say it did that pretty well. The network was able to automatically re-routr power to decrease outages substantially during storms without requiring crews to fix it.

Most people I know converted pretty quickly to EPB from Comcast, but apartments and HOAs still make contracts for exclusive Comcast wiring, even brand new HOAs that are being built.

My understanding is Comcast significantly improved in the Chattanooga area to compete, but I never went back and will never move to an area where I have to use Comcast again.

The best part about EPB was that they will service any house within their service area - for no crazy cost. I think initial setup was sometimes either completely waived or less than $100, no matter the house.

Also, the billing is nice - when they say $70 - it's $70 - no extra taxes or fees on top of that like most telecoms and utilities do.

As for actual changes - the city failed to truly capitalize on having a gig network. We wasted millions of dollars on a city-wide wifi system that was never turned on, due to political reasons (thr decision maker saw poor performance and shut it down after $300 million was already wasted putting up routers across the city.

The push I expected was smarter stoplights and traffic management, but that never happened. If anything it got worse.
Hm, looks like my notion page created using "Weekly Agenda" template :-/
The reaction is probably greatly dependent on the boss in question. One who is emotionally open during times of status quo will feel genuine. Ask A Manager recently fielded a post about a boss who thought "connecting" with his team involved quizzing them on the names of his horses and the kinds of grapes he grew in his vineyard, and that comes across as out-of-touch.
There’s a ‘perfect storm’ brewing in the family housing market
And its ordinalitiy is also 0.

Standard construction of ordinals is that each ordinal is the set of all its predecessors. (0 has no predecessors , hence 0 is the empty set.) (And so finite ordinals have the same ordinaliity as cardinality).
I have a dual stack DSL connection and do not particularly favor IPv4 or IPv6. But I just looked at my PiHole DNS statistics and I see that AAAA requests have taken over A requests by now, 47.2% vs 46.2%. Not much but it's something.

I wasn't aware that over half of my internet traffic goes over IPv6 already
If the United States government wanted to kill crypto forever they could sanction tether and make all of the coin useless.

We pay all the monthly family bills (including joint purchases like cars, vacations or home improvements) in proportion to our earnings/wealth. We do not have a joint bank account. Any personal items like clothes, golf clubs, or suborbital space flights are decided on and paid for individually. If both people want a suborbital space flight but only one can afford it, the richer one would probably pay for both [if they intended to return home after the flight]. As long as both people have a reasonable amount of savings, this works fine.
> Unless the cyclist does something outrageously stupid bordering on committing suicide.

Yeah, like riding a bike in the first place. Only thing worse is riding a motorcycle.

"The car is always wrong" has got to be the stupidest traffic law ever written. Every single day cyclists and motorcyclists do straight up illegal stuff near me and I have to accomodate them because of stupid laws like that. They do absolutely insane stuff. I get anxious every time I see one on my mirrors.
Something that's going to be interesting with psychedelics and psychedelic research is that a lot of this sort of research seems to try to "control for" the phenomenological experience in favor of focusing on the biochemical mechanism of action - I think it's possible that the phenomenological experience _is_ the mechanism of action for these substances, that the actual experience of the trip is what makes the difference.
Ya, that's accurate. The precise driver implementation matters a lot. Having said that there are some good 'best practices' that seem to make a difference. In my opinion 'IOMMU Aware Mediated Device' could also make some much needed improvements here as it would allow for more granular IOMMU allocations - perhaps this mode could help further support the 'App VMs' use-case using shared work queues without breaking IO virtual address translation:

I'm pretty sure James Fadiman has said if it wasn't Leary, someone else would have probably done what he did - although his charisma made him particularly effective. Hard to imagine a world where humans were able to keep the magic of LSD solely inside the confines of a lab.
> The unique safety features of Rus are all about memory safety, which is not something you have to worry about at all in Python

Rust gets safety with its ownership system. The ownership system brings strong guarantees around who is mutating / reading any given object.

Python has uncontrolled ownership. Any function can generally mutate / store any variable you pass in. This can definitely cause bugs if a rouge function starts modifying input.

Rust makes this impossible without the mutation “permission” being part of the method signature. Strong ownership controls force functions to be extremely explicit with their intentions
I'm sure there are a whole bunch of us that _don't_ find it to be an issue and don't feel the need to prolong its discussion. This type of topic draws in the type of individual that finds it to be an issue: those that don't, move on.
I disagree. You need to seriously re-evaluate things anytime you find yourself saying something along the lines of "X is just fine, we just need to educate and/or train people to use it more effectively." That's a subtle hint that the system you're talking about will never get any better than it is right now. There are two reasons for that:

1) There are people you can't instruct. Aristotle made that observation 2000 years ago and it's still true today.

2) There are bad actors out there who profit from abusing the system.

I'd really like to see the flow control of email completely reversed, where the only people who can send me email are the addresses I have whitelisted. For example, instead of subscribing to an email list, I add the email list's email address to my whitelist. A notification of some sort is then automatically sent to the email list requesting access. The email list can then accept or decline. It would work exactly the same way between two people, getting receipts, etc. Either side could revoke access at any time. Then you could automatically have email from certain accounts go into certain folders, tags, etc.
By its very definition, a search engine promotes results it deems relevant, and downranks (or 'censors') results it deems irrelevant.
It's a bad study and I'd be willing to tell the researchers that to their face.

"Something else is going on" is not "conspiratorial thinking" when it comes to analyzing data. Systematic biases in data is the normal and expected state of affairs.

Isn't it more accurate to say it was two sales than one? In what way is it misleading?
I live in a residential area with factories and stores. This area developed in a time before zoning

Two things.

1. By removing zoning regulation, it's actually smaller mom and pop shops who build factories and stores. Corporations can, but actually smaller businesses can move quicker and are thus able to buy the land in upcoming areas faster (likely because the owners live there). On the other hand, with zoning, large corporations are incentivized to own commercial space. Mom and pops don't want to, because if they purchase land for a factory, they don't know if the city will actually allow that or not, and can't afford the wait / lobbying. Only large companies can. So contrary to your contrived example of no zoning leading to large factories interspersed with housing, no zoning leads to lovely homes interspersed with small artisanal factories. I'll tell you... it's extremely pleasant to walk to the artisanal chocolate factory for a mid-day treat. I pity those that cannot because they're worried Nestle's going to plop a mega-factory in their neighborhood.

2. Removing zoning regulations will encourage rich local residents to build nice housing. This will be expensive housing. No one builds low-income housing because it's stupid. Why spend a bunch of money to rent for under-market rents. But, by expanding the luxury supply, you create under-market rents for old luxury supply that hasn't been updated. That's great.
