> If someone accumulates this much wealth, they are well within their right to put it to work however they please.

We let them do whatever they want with it, because doing so has been advantageous for the rest of us. At the end of the day, rights are recognised by law, law is created and upheld by people, and people can change their minds.

I can imagine a future where we say "actually, this multigenerational NGO shouldn't use this much wealth to carry out this flawed mission, let's do something about it." Doing something wouldn't even have to mean taking their money by force: consider how the work of the Ford Foundation differs from the views of Henry Ford himself, and how that could have happened.
This is pretty darn close to the idea I'll admit. I still think the tax benefits breakdown is a killer feature everyone is missing, and it could be even simpler to pick charities and contribute (like M1, or even all the way like Betterment)
In practice, I think there needs to be a physical trail no matter what. It needs to be both verifiable, anonymous, and auditable by parties all at the same time, and that can and should be done with paper. I say this as someone who otherwise detests paperwork, I only check my mail once every month or two.

Being more secure than banks is not enough, because banks are not 100% anonymous, and you can fix banking errors days, months, or even years later. With voting, you don't want to have a trail of who voted for whom.

In my state, Massachusetts, we use physical machines that scan the votes as they go in, and count them and return a tally at the end of the day. Personally, I wish we just counted them manually, but at least they're not connected to the internet I guess, and there's always physical ballots that can be counted in the issue of a challenge or conflict.

The main advantage to using machines, in our current system, is that they're faster. But who cares? You get your results at the end of the evening vs at the end of the week? There's no real urgency there, officials don't take office until some time after that.

But just to play devil's advocate against myself: I do think that liquid democracy, where people could dynamically vote for politicians/delegates (either carte blanche or certain delegates for certain categories and others for others), individual bills, and such on the fly, would be an interesting use of voting online if you were to make a new political system entirely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_democracy

I just think there's no way to implement this properly.
F.A.S.T. has no corollary in digital safety.
The magnetic stripe is just data. NFC is a handshake: the chip is a tiny MCU. There is still a root of trust required to prevent MITM, but the device would need to be compromised. This is why keys and certificate chains are stored in secure memory that is resistent to side channel, and even physical attack (it breaks easily and the die can't be shaved down).

Seriously, you need a better doctor. What did your doctor say, specifically? That you should not get the newest Covid booster? Have you ever been vaccinated?
Calling me a jerk is rude. What's also rude? Refusing to get a vaccine that will protect you and others because you are afraid it will somehow hurt you.
I've used Z3 to create some logic puzzles, but I was using the SAT solver features rather than the proof features.

One effective, if naive, approach to determining whether a logic puzzle has a unique solution is checking:

* is my current constraint set satisfiable?

* if so, exhibit a satisfying assignment ("foo")

* add a new constraint that explicitly excludes the solution "foo"

* is the resulting constraint set satisfiable?

* if not, great! (the solution "foo" is unique)

"As the company grew and became more successful, Bob found himself fending off one offer after another–large corporations that wanted to buy Bob’s Red Mill. But even though it would be immensely profitable for himself, Bob didn’t want to go down that road. After reviewing several options, Bob debuted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) on his 81st birthday and announced that everyone would become an employee-owner, with a goal for Bob’s Red Mill to become 100% employee owned."

I don't know anything about how these things work, but I like they way Bob's Red Mill did it.
For a far better take than all the fly by commentators here, there is a ex military pilot who did a video on this a year or so ago.

They’re actually binning the pixels back down to the same resolution as before and only using the extra size to enhance sharpness and dynamic range. You only actually get higher resolution if you shoot raw.
False. Crypto finance cant be shut down, your wallet frozen or transaction charged back. Regulations exist to strip you from your rights. China regulated bitcoin mining, well now its banned there.
Yeah, OP clarified he was using another brands wallet lol. Weird to dunk on Apple implying they underengineer their products. Engineering and (probably) precision manufacturing some magnetic shield is exactly the kind of thing Apple would do.

From [0]:

According to Apple's site, "the leather wallet is shielded so it’s safe for credit cards." That shield protects both Low Coercivity (LoCo) and High Coercivity (HiCo) cards — which is a fancy way of saying how resistant something is from being demagnetized. So, LoCo cards are considered things like hotel keys and gift cards while credit cards fall under HiCo.

> this feels like the angry ranty version of the story that [a certain set of] Googlers deserve.

If people fail to work a healthy amount on a day-to-day basis at a company, that speaks more to the company than it does those workers. People like to work on things they find interesting. Google is failing by not putting workers on interesting things, or things they want to work on.
The article does suggest that, calling them "suspect". It does not confirm it though.
Yeah you're right nobody is using anything Google makes
Stable diffusion could likely get compressed much further with some tradeoff in quality. Then it can run locally on these phones. Like how pixel phones have built in speech to text models that run without an internet connection.
> Also, flip the consideration, why is it fair that you only support a hand-curated list of projects and ignore the thankless dev writing all the little helpers and utilities that save you time over and over again?

There are lots of reasons. Maybe the project in question has a low impact to you, such that not having it wouldn't affect you very much. Or maybe it's something that's easy enough to write yourself and you just haven't done it because you haven't needed to. Or maybe there's a commercial alternative that's better but you just haven't needed to pay for it. You can't pretend that all of your dependencies have the same impact on your product.

With that said, I think this is a great experiment, and I'm all for incentivizing devs to use fewer dependencies!
Each.
Right now I'm wearing a pair of their twill jeans I've had for nearly 20 years now. There's a tiny bit of pilling in the knees you can only see close up. Otherwise they look brand new every time they come out of the wash.

A lot of their stuff isn't to my style, but I've had really solid luck with the stuff that is. I've got multiple pairs of long underwear and down vests and such from back when I snowboarded a lot, again, all of them held up really well.
Depends if you are delivering food or cycling for sport. The dedicated devices have extremely good battery life (around 20 hours screen on with gps), have connectivity for ANT+ accessories, have large physical buttons designed for use while cycling with gloves, have reflective displays with great visibility in the sun, etc.

Sure, you don’t _need_ them but they don’t cost very much compared to your other gear and the minor improvements stack up.
Yeah I wish there was an easy way to automatically delete all but 1 or 2 of the shots from a set. Kind of like how they let you easily discard all but one of a burst.

I had a fun issue with coinbase where they locked my account due to KYC issues. Which is funny, because I've been a customer for a decade. They locked my account and asked me to provide sources of funds. They didn't specify which funds, so I guess they wanted all funds ever? I inquired and two months later I got a cut and pasted response that just repeated the initial request. Coinbase customer support couldn't help, and there was no escalation mechanism. So I just submitted a random collection of funds explanations. 4 months later my account was unlocked.

Super cool. I already used Kraken for everything but now I'll use Kraken while really disliking Coinbase.

It is hard to think of any rational to stop a well-dressed person engaging in no shady behavior and immediately escalate to “lie face-down with your hands over your head.”

There are other news reports of similar incidents with black men. If race is not a factor, we would expect to see many more white than black men wrongly treated in this way, as they are a larger share of the population. I’m not aware of similar reports for white men, but would be interested to see them.

Re traffic stops: The idea that you can’t see the race of a driver while driving behind them is ludicrous. Next time you’re on the highway look in the rear view mirror of the car in front of you. You can see the person’s face.

If they’re actually stopping and searching people on some heuristic that just happens to be correlated with race, they should stop - it’s a bad heuristic. They’re searching black drivers at double the rate of whites, but finding contraband at a lower rate.

Clearly something they’re doing is broken, and it manifests as an undo burden on black drivers.

> The "visionary/great man" ideal is just good PR.

I reject that proposition. It's how record labels (investors, etc.) gaslight their artists (founders, etc.) into signing bad deals.

The businessman ("anthropomorphized lawnmower"[1]) has excellent PR. What interests him is an ownership stake in your vision and execution.

It's still a fair question to ask around WW2, given that there was already plenty of evidence for atrocities perpetrated by the USSR. Indeed, it was noted at the time: Orwell wrote this in 1944:

"At this moment what is demanded by the prevailing orthodoxy is an uncritical admiration of Soviet Russia. Everyone knows this, nearly everyone acts on it. Any serious criticism of the Soviet régime, any disclosure of facts which the Soviet government would prefer to keep hidden, is next door to unprintable. ... The servility with which the greater part of the English intelligentsia have swallowed and repeated Russian propaganda from 1941 onwards would be quite astounding if it were not that they have behaved similarly on several earlier occasions. On one controversial issue after another the Russian viewpoint has been accepted without examination and then publicised with complete disregard to historical truth or intellectual decency. ... In the internal struggles in the various occupied countries, the British press has in almost all cases sided with the faction favoured by the Russians and libelled the opposing faction, sometimes suppressing material evidence in order to do so.

Throughout that time, criticism of the Soviet régime from the left could only obtain a hearing with difficulty. There was a huge output of anti-Russian literature, but nearly all of it was from the Conservative angle and manifestly dishonest, out of date and actuated by sordid motives. On the other side there was an equally huge and almost equally dishonest stream of pro-Russian propaganda, and what amounted to a boycott on anyone who tried to discuss all-important questions in a grown-up manner. You could, indeed, publish anti-Russian books, but to do so was to make sure of being ignored or misrepresented by nearly the whole of the highbrow press. Both publicly and privately you were warned that it was ‘not done’. What you said might possibly be true, but it was ‘inopportune’ and played into the hands of this or that reactionary interest. ... Events in Russia and events elsewhere were to be judged by different standards. The endless executions in the purges of 1936-8 were applauded by life-long opponents of capital punishment, and it was considered equally proper to publicise famines when they happened in India and to conceal them when they happened in the Ukraine."

When deciding where to donate we should consider where our money will do the most good. "Keep Wikipedia online" is a candidate for one of the most important things, if that's actually what your money will help do. But other Wikimedia projects, while useful, are generally nowhere near as high priority, and there are a lot of other places we could be donating!
I saw a gap to make that point and shot it. There is definitely formidable institutional inertia blocking meaningful change. I’m hoping history does rhyme and we’ll see an adoption of civil service reform policies by both parties like in the late 1800s

I honestly don't pay close attention to NIMBY/anti-house regulations anywhere outside northern California to notice. I should have been more clear I was not specifically talking about that.

In this case I was thinking primarily of crime and some of the DA in Texas's big cities. Dallas in particular I remember a DA was elected that pissed off a lot of people on the right by stopping prosecution of lesser offences and setting low bails. The right argues that leads to more crime until its a common place.
That's opt-in but I think every credit card company in the US offers to alert you by SMS or app notification when a transaction has been made. I have that setup for my cards but it is annoying each month when the internet bill hits my card because they do their processing at 3am.
That's a really cool store. I'm surprised they went all in on SAM MCUs for lots of their stuff, as I don't think the Atmel SAM product line has much of a future since being purchased my Microchip (although that was 6 years ago).
The real offender here is the design of the seat...

The design should be self-testing continuously. If any wire, microchip, or other component were to go bad inside the ejector seat, it should flash a big warning light on the dashboard saying "unsafe to fly".

In the case of an ejector seat sequencer, the electronics could run through the full ejection process, but with the power supply to the explosive detonators super low. Then another system detects that the right detonators are being activated at the right time. If they aren't... red light and buzzer.

If your design is good, cheap parts won't make it fail dangerously. Cheap parts will just lead to more time being repaired.

It is so sad that printers don't do postscript anymore. Back in 1984, when 300dpi on an 8.5x11 sheet needed a whole 1 MB of memory to rasterize the entire page, that made the printers more expensive. But that excuse died a long time ago.
> What's the difference between posting stuff on arxiv or uploading a pdf to your blog?

There isn't. My point is that the papers aren't blind because they've been read before. Publishing onto your blog would have the same result. I'll note that this isn't common practice in other research communities.

> Peer review is supposed to circumvent the problem of a marketing budget being a factor in whether your paper is deemed relevant or not.

I don't see how this could even happen. Let's even say you are a no name lab and get accepted, you're in a list of hundreds or even a thousand other papers. There's publicity, yes, but it isn't massive.

Let me put it this way. If you are a grad student at MIT or Stanford you will get hundreds of twitter followers relatively quickly. These followers are going to see you posting links to your papers. You have a larger network effect just by being at a larger and more prestigious school. That is the main advantage of prestigious schools and I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with that.

But we do have to admit that there are factors that are highly important here beyond merit based. Being at MIT or Stanford does not mean your paper has more merit than a no name school or lab. That no name lab will not have the same reach, which results in fewer citations (our main metric of relevancy), and fewer researchers will be able to expand upon the work.

The major problem here is that we're pretending that this doesn't happen. I don't know how to solve this issue or even know if it can be solved. But it is really dumb to go around saying everything is merit based and not acknowledge the other factors at play here. It is pretending that there's a stronger signal in the noise than there is.

> or do you mean that previously there was room for slackers as long as they didn't care about promotion, and the difference now is their jobs are at risk?

Yes, I think they collected lots of mediocre employees through the aggressive hiring.

Also, some of them may be not productive by common metrics (say bugs closed, lines of code implemented), others are good at those metrics, but produce high quantity/low quality work, and make more damage than impact: systems are overengineered, buggy, etc. I think second type is likely makes companies suffer much more than first one, they are much harder to trace and fire.

I know it’s easy to think that. But the vast majority of financial regulations exist to protect the little guy from the big guy in any given transaction or financial relationship. I’ll let you discern which one you tend to be as the consumer.

A fun historical fact I just discovered, "Ford offered seat belts as an option in 1955. These were not popular, with only 2% of Ford buyers choosing to pay for seatbelts in 1956" [0]. Which reads to me that many 1959 drivers would have been unlikely to have or use a seatbelt.

Lots of people who are cheering this move by Chouinard probably have less kind things to say about Charles Koch, who has taken a lot of the wealth his private company has created and used it to fund nonprofits that promote causes typically aligned with conservative politics.

Opinions on this sort of thing typically align more with values than tactics.

I will say this is not a new thing, the great tycoons of 100 years ago created nonprofits too, some of which are still going strong. For example:
