I suppose yes. I can certainly imaging a few designs, but they would all be more expensive. Most of our electrical infrastructure is old, like really old. Modern LED light bulbs screw into a socket that over 100 years old. We run 240V to electronics that immediately transform it down to 48/24/12 or even 5V, so why even run 240V to anything beyond maybe a handful of places in an average home?

It's not like you can get hurt or killed with lower voltages, but overall it would be safer.

Your name, password, and the names and addresses and phone numbers and emails of all your family members already exist and are being used. So, by your logic, you have no reason to share them to everyone?

The logic doesn’t hold up.

You can make the same argument for anything. It makes sense to think about the dangers, not pretend that bad logic is an excuse to do anything you want.
The c5 instances get dedicated cores, and thus should be exempt from resource contention due to shared cores.
There are all kinds of people in tech who are self taught without CS degrees though. I don't think it's that beholden to the universities...at least not like other professions. I think it's simply that people took notice that all the money was being funneled into tech. The MBAs all followed.
Why would you expect a tech company to do a better job securing this information? I've worked for both kinds quite a bit at this point and don't really see any trends either way other than "most don't really care and there usually aren't consequences so why would they" and that's universal.
So your thinking is that the republican party, which by and large already disagreed with trump(to the extent a republican was the alleged "target" of the riot), would side with him after his supporters murder Mike Pence, said republican?

Alleged Russian bot here, I was torn apart in a thread about the European energy crisis for attempting a balanced perspective. It's sad to see, but not really worth the time trying to fight against it. The vast majority of folk seem actively happy to be misinformed, so long as that misinformation is consensus among their social circles. Better to use the information as some kind of indicator of the demographic you are interacting with, and act accordingly (most probably, find something better to do)

Just try and find those male-male cords for other outlets than US ones (try Schuko for the European variant). You will find that they're much more rare or even impossible to find.

So, the reason I sent you that link is if you look at the numbers, that 21k per month pre tax turns into 8k cash in hand per month after tax.

That is nothing short of insane to me. That is almost 3 quarters of your money taken by the government. Maybe you can live with that. I can’t. It’s insane to me. I simply refuse to participate in that.

As for taxes, I get your point. Sounds good in theory. Until you realise people like me are not that uncommon. That 25% I still have a say on is going to go to my charity. A social change sort of charity. A charity aimed at offering educational alternatives to promising young leaders. The sort that will grow up to question the justice of your tax regime and advocate for it’s dismantling. And with a bit of luck and push from other rich people, give it a few decades and it will go away.

But to answer you:

1. 1% flat tax, applied to income for people and profit for businesses.

€1000 goes into your business -> you’re left with €990 -> you take them all out as dividends, you’re left with €980.1

This will provide an annual bulk income.

2. Flat transaction fee. Every time money changes hands, the government skims 0.1€ from it.

This will provide a steady income stream.

You buy a laptop, you pay €1000 for it, the vendor only gets €999.9 - This is not something operators worry about, this is done automatically by the banks.

But this won’t be enough to <insert something here>. Well, tough luck. Better start prioritising. Start by cutting foreign aid. Start by cutting aid to ngos shipping migrants from africa, start by cutting welfare to illegals, get rid of the useless government bureaucracy like “period dignity officers”, plenty of stuff to cut.

Make do with less, that’s what I would tell the government.
Reddit has gotten...weird. It's at the point where I almost consider that most of the people I'm talking to there on the mainstream subs actually are bots.
> City residents can do whatever they want but I for one will simply not come in in general if it’s too big a hassle. And that’s fine. I have plenty of other things to do.

Agreed, it is fine. As a city resident I would rather have fewer people coming in and a more walkable environment than more people coming in and streets clogged with cars. We should make sure the transit is excellent, but if some people don’t want to come in because they want to drive and it’s difficult, that’s fine! Too many people driving in makes the city an unpleasant place to be in.
I don't know. I think such a system would integrate an ID verification process. That would be almost inescapable.
But as long as the cash bonus has the same nominal value as the stock grant there is not much of a downside for the employee as in the worst case they can just buy the stock on the market (which should be possible for a large tech company).
YouTube already makes more money than Netflix. Guess they want to make more money than Disney now? YouTube Red (I guess they call it premium now) is pretty good though. Their music service and being able to download videos makes it pretty nice on the whole.

>Let me know how successful you are crossing the border and getting home when you tell CBP to “pound sand”. They’ll just deny you entry and you’re left with very little recourse.

How about instead of this handwave-y impossible ask BS you cite any actual cases at all since Lyttle v. US (10 years ago) where the CBP denied a US Citizen entry or deported them? There is plenty of case law here. In Nguyen v. INS the Supreme Court stated that (emphasis added) "[...]a citizen entitled as of birth to the full protection of the United States, to the absolute right to enter its borders, and to full participation in the political process." And that's not even tied to a passport. In Worthy v. US the 5th Circuit found the government could not impose a penalty on returning without a passport: "We think it is inherent in the concept of citizenship that the citizen, when absent from the country to which he owes allegiance, has a right to return, again to set foot on its soil. . . . We do not think that a citizen, absent from his country, can have his fundamental right to have free ingress thereto subject to a criminal penalty if he does not have a passport."

Lower courts have since cited all this, even when the practical result was a mixed bag or a loss for the plaintiff. Fikre v. FBI was about the no-fly list, and the court didn't hold that the absolute right to return meant the US couldn't prevent getting on an airplane in another country, and that Fikre hadn't asserted enough facts to support that the No-Fly list and boarding denial were enough to violate his right to get to a port of entry a different way. I think that's unfortunate, saying essentially "well take a boat or figure out a flight to Canada/Mexico" isn't ok and I think the whole no-fly list is flagrantly bad, but the court did uphold a citizen's right to enter borders on getting to them.

Finally in Lyttle v. US [0] there was indeed a case where a US citizen with mental challenges was detained by ICE and deported, after being allegedly coerced into signing a document falsely stating he was Mexican citizen. This set off a saga that eventually resulted in the DHS terminating deportation efforts "on the basis that “it was determined that [Lyttle] was not a Mexican citizen and is, in fact, a citizen of the United States.”" The court refused to dismiss all damages claims, and at all times ICE/CBP proceeded on the basis of fraud that he in fact wasn't a US citizen. Court found that the government is simply not authorized to detain or deport US citizens, and thus may not ignore any credible assertion of citizenship.

So again, if you have a newer example to share where someone was denied entry at all, let alone "with very little recourse", you share it. Otherwise you're just posting FUD.

It seems BS to me as well.

This is usually intended as "business travel" and often (besides all - reasonable - expenses) a supplement for undocumented "travel allowance" is also given.

As I see it, if you exit your home it is not work at home, but something else, of course YMMV depending on country, local labour Laws, etc.
I agree it is a complex topic rife with moral quandaries. Another component of the overall picture is the sobering reality that without the weapons of war and military technology, we wouldn't have a country or government to call our own. Nations are born from the victors of violent conflicts, so it is difficult to grasp that my own distaste for violence and military technology is a direct privilege granted from their previous use by those who came before me.
I think the driver is economic: companies are not forced to compensate users for the loss of their private data. Breaches are annoying but essentially harmless for most companies.

As such, it doesn't make sense to invest that much in security. Security protects your users, but the privacy and safety of users has zero impact on most companies' bottom line.

The situation will continue until compensation of victims (i.e. users) is mandatory by law.
Nowadays college is less about high quality education and more social signaling of prestige among peers. From that perspective, your student who is paying $200k is making a rational decision in her mind.

When she graduates, she may get a prestigious high paying job (investment banking or management consulting) and that will validate her decision. If instead she gets an "ok" job and most of her peers are form lower-ranked colleges, she will feel like she is top of the social / prestige hierarchy, thus validating her decision, bc social prestige has its own unquantifiable value.

Thanks.
This is how my ESPP works. I couldn't imagine that program replacing my RSUs. What a ripoff to the people attracted by the promise of RSUs.

As someone who came into tech with $0 in savings, RSUs are what gave me financial freedom. When a business dilutes that they not only dilute the marginal amount of business that employees get back in return for their contributions but it also takes away another key financial utility for people to rise economically.
The bigger the subreddit, the less tolerant of neutral-seeming Russia stories (i.e. "propaganda") and the more tolerant of heavily pro-Ukraine glory stories (i.e. propaganda).

As with all things, it's on smaller community subreddits where people are allowed to think independently to some degree.

Even my hometown's subreddit (city pop less than 500K, subreddit membership less than 100k) is so heavily group-thinked that many topics of current national debate are 100% settled on the subreddit and no-go for discussion.
It feels like a deliberate conflation of what a "private message" means.

Many FB users assume "only me and the recipient(s) can see". Similarly, "private group" on social media platforms. "Private" - you keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means. :)

These are all misnomers, and more non-E2EE people need to recognize and understand it. In as much as I dislike the dismissive nature of the saying, it is true - "I can explain it to you, but I cannot understand it for you."

Occurrences like these will make understanding happen.

I think I am OK with that.

Suicide cords are not that dangerous when used by a professional. But when used by somebody not respectful and knowledgeable they become quite dangerous. The catch is that 95% of professionals would find another way to do it.

As far as the police example that can be safer than you think. The power supply can be set to not apply power to the plug end until it senses power or you manually hit a switch. But you still have the safety issue of the power strip's end. This should be alleviated by turning off the strip but I would still cover it personally

A communicology study here. Here's my views on this:

- Traditinal media has a long time been dying due to a changing landscape with the introduction of new technologies. We all get that.

- The ones operating today are completely reliant proliferation through social media. This has the consequence of turning social madia administrators into information gatekeepers.

- If your publication gets flagged as enemy propaganda on major social media, you have to basically close shop.
- Most of these censors are working for free.

- Most suffisciently large tech companies now have embedded spooks, to keep this process locked in and in their favor.

- This creates artificial echo chambers where all people seem to be in agreement on important issues.

I used to go for fast walks as a way to decompress / deal with anxiety & depression. It worked well. I need to restart the habit.

Things I learned on my walks:

* Railroad tracks are policed by railroad cops, some equipped with large revolvers. That Colt is cemented in my mind...

* Railroad tracks are frequented by migrant workers and those who might prey upon them. Some of those people are dangerous.

* Ben's has great Chinese food. (near Jack London Square)

> which required computer control to keep it stable.

I think most modern fighters are like than. The fly-by-wire isn't just an electronic control as with early developments, but basically tells the computer what you want to do and the computer then drives the control sequence to do what you ask.

https://www.eurofighter.com/advantages

> Eurofighter Typhoon has a foreplane delta design, which is inherently – and intentionally –aerodynamically unstable in subsonic flight. This was developed with experienced pilots to provide enhanced manoeuvrability while still being highly intuitive to fly.

> The instability in subsonic flight requires a complex flight control system to support the pilot as the computer systems can react more quickly at lower speeds. When Eurofighter Typhoon crosses into supersonic flight, the point of instability moves behind the centre of gravity, giving a stable aircraft for high performance flight.

> The advantages of an intentionally unstable design include greater agility at subsonic speeds as well as reduced drag and an overall increase in lift for enhanced short takeoff and landing (STOL) performance. Proposed engine enhancements such as vectored thrust will further boost the agility of the aircraft.
i've stopped following this war/conflict because the amount of bs stemming from both sides is unparalleled from other stuff i've seen historically. i legitimately can't tell what is made up/staged/propaganda from actual facts, and i am guessing i will never know. some of it is very blatant. twitter is filled with bots, and deceit is everywhere. not surprised at all reading this

It definitely would be thousands to get one of these installed in California. The electricians cost way over $100 per hour.

Also, a backflow cutoff is required by law, as are permits, inspections, etc.

San Jose has setback requirements, requires a concrete pad (for hardwired installations), and charges various fees:

I think you're giving Reddit too much credit. The frontpage is awash with astroturfing, agenda posts, and an obvious bias being curated by a handful of power mods. Sure, minor or niche subreddits can escape this, but that's probably only because they are non impactful to begin with.

"Flairing" posts doesn't do much good either, because the vast majority of users don't filter. I wonder if this actually makes things worse because the people who would downvote and present counterpoints have opted out of seeing such posts - furthering the echo chamber.

The real power of Reddit is to manipulate perception by a barrage of likeminded content, displayed over and over again to people who don't have their ideological defenses up because they're just browsing casually.

It means that there will be less investment cash pumping up the valuation of startups.

High rates means that there is less liquidity overall (people don't want to borrow money and invest it), and it means that there are decent alternatives to investigating in startups (if T bonds pay 10% guaranteed, why burn cash on a company that will probably fail?)
The choice depends on your risk tolerance/aversion.

I thought in Steam's case this only applied if you're selling Steam keys? I.e. you can't sell Steam keys for less from your website than they are on Steam itself. I've definitely seen games for cheaper on GoG, for example. Though that may just have been a case of loose enforcement.

Edit: Hmmm. How did Humble Bundle operate? Many of the games in the older "pay what you want" bundles were distributed via a Steam key. Did Steam make an exception for them?
These type of editorial / advertising approval decisions happened all the time before the internet took over media. Just FB/Twitter gets crucified when they do it because they pretend to not be publishers but utilities.

Time to admit all these hosting sites are just publishers that use ML models as editors and their users as contributors and section 230 needs to be re-written to account for it.
