> that opposing CRT means... that you still think 2 + 2 = 4

As if any of the CRT scare was about actual CRT, and noting that it's academics who tend to be up on their math skills and support the actual CRT.

> Phones will be tracking people, of course, and phones being in the same location at the same time, big red flag.

Well, our surveillance state runs on private industry using police rules favored by conservatives, so reap what you sow.

> orthodox Christians and other soon-to-be-unpersoned groups need to really start understanding and preparing for a life as “untouchables.”

That just seems like paranoia. Maybe untouchable in enclaves of coastal cities, but how many atheist, Muslim or Satanic radio and TV stations are there?

I don't like the aggregation of a social credit score either. The tech could be in anyone's hands, for example Palantir. We will end up with a few Little Brothers instead of one Big Brother.

Meanwhile, there's little content on the Gays against Groomers website. It'd be nice to see what they're about. They've chosen some unfortunately charged terminology. I don't have a problem with drag storytime (kids like costumes, bring your own) but if stories of encouraging kids to stick a dollar in the thong are true, that's distateful. What's the line between being girly and being sexual, if there is one? And TG athletics are a third rail that needs to be touched and discharged.

Sure, but let's look at the larger picture. If you have one file, then that's your deliverable. You can host that file somewhere, send it as an e-mail body, drop it into a paste-bin or whatever. It is one self-contained unit.

If you have two files: .h and .c, the use scenario may be simpler. Not a lot though. And now youu have two files which have to stay together somehow, yet remain distinct. If you combine them in one body of text, you have to indicate: oh, please snip out this part as a .h file and then the rest as a .c file. In e-mail you can have it as two separate MIME attachments. You can use an archive file --- have you looked into the formats? Not so simple.

It's not hard to understand the attraction to the one file deployment, even if you don't do it yourself.
Well, as long as we're sharing personal anecdotes as absolute judgements, then allow me to throw my own hat into the ring.

I have never had a problem with suspend, hibernate, nor excessive battery drain (beyond what the hardware should do) on any of linux laptop setups.

Thats starting from a thinkpad in 1998 (yes), all the way to my current amd 4800 tongfeng (generic chinese oem laptop maker).

Along with quite a few chromebooks thrown in along the way (all of which were developer-mode enabled, WITH secure verified boot turned back on, so had full access to linux apps WITHOUT using crostini vm's).

But, seeing as how chromebooks are essentially machines running GENTOO LINUX with a custom google ebuild overlay, then perhaps their reliability should be another plus checkmark for "linux on laptops", and not somehow a ding against that.

Anyway, take that for what its worth ...
You might want to look for modems used for police cars and other vehicles. Cradlepoint also makes fixed devices.

They have external antenna mounts and can usually do 2-3 SIMs and often have a 100Mb or gig Ethernet port. They are more expensive than the typical mifi, but you may be able to find good surplus gear on eBay, especially as state/local governments start getting rid of equipment bought to stand up COVID facilities in the field.
Nah, rooftop solar reduces transmission infra costs and keeps utilities in check. If all the subsidies went to utility scale, utilities could more easily hold consumers hostage (looking at you Florida and Arizona, specifically). Consider the residential rooftop premium a system resiliency tax.

They had to build a company from scratch and are making two games in parallel. The open development nature of the game also slows it down a lot.

1) Bundling

2) Network effects

and 3) Who else is doing something different? No one cares about the quality of the product they make anymore. The only thing that's important is pushing new features. Fixing old features is useless because by the time someone finds out the feature they chose you for doesn't work, they've already paid you for a year long contract. And most of the time, by the time the year rolls around, they're used to dealing with the problem and don't want to take the disruption of moving to something else again.
I’m not treating them as a monolith. I’m suggesting that if the concern is a local program on your computer shipping usage metrics to Google, Golang and Homebrew both do that.

Both support well-documented opt-out, and I’m not personally bothered by the existence of either as a default-enabled feature.

But it’s odd to me that because Google has many employees, you’re ok with golang sending usage data to one of their databases, but you have major beef with homebrew sending to another database 6 feet to the left.

Is your concern default-enabled metrics? Or metrics sent to Google? Or specifically GA as a storage backend? It’s not clear from this thread.
Abusive trading partner in the strict sense of goods trading, not sure. But China requires or used to require (some / interesting / all?) foreign countries operating in the country to create joint ventures with Chinese companies. Probably done to transfer know-how, possibly profits, and to keep control. Volkswagen had the foresight to enter China early (as it did decades earlier in Brazil), and it had to do that.
If this were being used for SSNs, you'd have a central authority to restore access. If you lose your passport, they can issue you another one and mark the old one as lost/stolen. You can do the same thing for key pairs.

The main problem it solves is giving a sketchy client your SSN on your I9 without allowing them to use it/leak it to scam groups to spin up a credit card on your behalf.

The US is huge and diverse, so much so that ranking it as a whole really isn't fair. Yeah there are the same federal departments, programs, and laws, but heck, even how they're enforced and handled varies by state and region. You have to rank states or regions, like urban northeast and Bay Area vs pacific northwest vs rural deep South vs Alaska.

I will say that some rural areas in the US really do resemble third-world countries, examples are Indian reservations and places in southern states like Ohio. They have dirt roads, poor water quality, rampant town council and police corruption, huge proportion of the population seriously uneducated. These places still have federal services like food stamps and healthcare, and moving to another place in the US as a "refugee" is significantly easier, so maybe it's still not fair to compare them to actual third-world countries. But even people who live in the US and have seen "poor neighborhoods" would be shocked.

EDIT: And I know that even places like India have big cities, and places like the Netherlands have urban and rural areas. But the US is even more diverse. The rural areas in Massachusetts are a lot different than those in North Carolina.

EDIT: After writing and posting the original version of this comment, I did an experiment where I dictated it to Siri, and then saved that audio (which was recorded simultaneously), which I then fed to both Whisper's tiny.en and medium.en... Siri did terrible for me. Whisper tiny.en was 100% accurate, as far as I can tell, and the only thing Whisper medium.en did was add a few commas that tiny.en had missed. I actually ended up playing the audio file for Siri as well, and that did not end well either. YMMV, but even the tiny model seems very useful. tiny.en took 17.5 seconds to process the ~1 minute audio file, and medium.en took 351 seconds, but I think there is a lot of room for performance optimization on this M2 MBA. The model evaluation was purely using the CPU, not GPU or neural engine, and it wasn't even using all of the CPU cores for whatever reason.

----

With Siri dictation, I feel like I usually spend at least as much time correcting its mistakes as I do speaking the dictation itself. In some cases, that is still faster/easier than typing, but I would rather have a voice model that can work in about the same total amount of time without requiring constant corrections. If I speak for 30 seconds, then I can do other things for 30 seconds while my phone processes it… that might actually be preferable if it gets it right. Otherwise, I’ll be spending 30 seconds actively editing it anyways. Even an improvement on the number of edits required per dictation would be nice. Admittedly, I feel like Google and Microsoft already do a much better job here.

It could be interesting to use the tiny model to give a preview of the writing while the large model is taking its time, and then allow the user to tap on words that changed to see the predictions from the tiny model and correct back to them if they want. I was doing some experiments a few minutes ago, and on one audio clip, the tiny model wrote down a very literal interpretation of an uncommon sci-fi word, and that was more accurate than either the medium or the large models. The rest of the time, the larger models did better, as expected.

But, I don’t know. This is interesting to me, but I agree there could be issues with making is workable for real time transcription.

San Francisco passes controversial surveillance plan
Everyone has their own priorities in life, so people who have “wasted their younger years” might have been happy during that time. From my years of meeting random people, I’ve been more fascinated with people who took a lot of time offs and didn’t grind for the career. Especially people in their 60s/70s with a lot of life experience sounded like they feel more “fulfilled”, than some career chasing SVPs. Even with those, they’d mostly talk about non-work stuff.

Long story short, life is fairly different for everyone, thus min/maxing DPS like you’d do in an RPG probably won’t work. Everyone has retroactive regrets, but we can’t really say whether throwing money on weekend getaways or working on a side project over a weekend is objectively better.

That strengthens the effect, but no, the growth is decoupled even if you take into account the energy and pollution cost of the outsourced manufacturing.

The same goods (and better goods) take less energy and pollution to produce than in 2000, and a lot of physical goods have been effectively replaced with features in digital devices; and the main part of GDP growth for developed countries does not involve any growth in consumption of goods but rather the consumption of services - the shift from an industrial economy to a service economy has quite fundamental impact on the nature of growth.

Loan was overcollateralized by 30% and liquidated on June 15, 2022 [1] (BTC price ~21k)

The loan was written somewhere in the first half of 2021 - it's when heavy USDT activity starts in the celsius core wallet [2].

BTC price floor in 2021 was $32k.

You can't liquidate something 130% overcollateralized and underwritten at a price >$32k (more likely >$40k) at a price of $21k without taking a loss.

You'd need a minimum overcollateralization ratio of 150% for their math to check out in the most optimistic scenario.

Let me know if you have other easily disproven lies you need debunked.

Most westerners have a subconscious and unacknowledged bias against Hindus. This shows up everywhere. I don't blame them for it, it's a product of decades of misinformation and misunderstanding.

In internet forums, criticizing or mocking Hindus is perfectly acceptable but any comments trying to present Hindu culture in a fair light get quickly classified as nationalistic or flamebait. The canonical example being r/India.

We're still years away from where this bias is seen and acknowledged for what it is.

For what is worth, I saw nothing in the original parent comment to classify it as flamebait. It was a perfectly valid opinion about how Hindu texts have been misrepresented by Western scholars.

Thanks Krishna for your comment, I for one learned something from it.

Your link doesn't seem to establish a connection between DUI enforcement and reduction in deaths FYI (unless I somehow missed it...). Driving deaths from DUI may have decreased while states were enforcing DUI laws, but the causality isn't all that clear. Meanwhile, distracted driving has exploded since the arrival of the smartphone and made it even harder to understand the dynamics behind road safety.

That said, I once read that the most important enforcement factors, with regard to actually reducing DUIs, were 1) increasing the likelihood of being caught and 2) minimizing the time between being caught and experiencing consequences. Notably, severity of punishment wasn't a significant factor. I know that states will differ in enforcement approaches, but the US states I've lived in haven't seemed at all interested in adopting a data-driven perspective - what I've seen has been a very low likelihood of DUI detection coupled with prosecution that can take a year or more for a routine DUI (let's not forget needlessly harsh punishments that are more likely to destroy one's family or finances than decrease the likelihood of future DUI...).

The contentious nature of this topic seems to make it hard to find rational discussions online. I've found plenty of emotional anecdotes, but few evidence-based suggestions mentioned (aside from the obvious but unrealistic suggestion to make cars unnecessary...). I'm no expert, but the "traditional American" perspective - 'Drunk drivers are horrible people who will go to hell when they die. Let's just charge all of them with attempted murder and lock them up for good. [commented on reddit via phone app from driver's seat of car in left lane on I-95]' (my characterization) - seems completely useless, in terms of actual harm-reduction.

What does seem clear is that drunk driving is caused by poor judgment and/or inadequate risk-assessment (its correlation with # miles driven could be a third factor worth mentioning). If we observe the two largest demographic groups among drunk drivers, young men and chronic alcoholics, it's clear that they share these characteristics - young men because their frontal cortex hasn't matured enough to reliably assess risk in general and chronic alcoholics because their constant drinking necessarily impedes good decision-making. If we're not developing solutions that target those particular deficiencies (i.e. not a small chance at having a harsh, but essentially abstract punishment a year or more in the future), I don't think we'll see real progress on this front.

In any case, I certainly don't think bringing enhanced surveillance into privately-owned vehicles is the solution.

I have a weird theory about humanities purpose: Assuming someone/thing created life (if life wasn't created then it truly is random chaos and we have no purpose), but if life was intentionally made then we were created for a reason. Determining what that reason was will tell us what our purpose is. The only clue we have is evolution. If we can reverse engineer the mechanisms of evolution it should give us clues about why we are here. What is evolution driving us to become? If we can figure that out we might be able to deduce what our purpose is.

I feel like one of life's huge leaps forward, on par with single->multicellular, is recognizing that these evolutionary mechanisms exist, furthering our understanding of and leveraging them. Anyway that is a long ramble to say it sucks that we as a species cannot really touch any kind of eugenics without genociding eachother.

Edit: trying to be on topic, and trying to follow your diversión: By definition, a fiat currency like the USD is not a free market. In fact a “free market” is an oxymoron - it needs strict rules to be free (the inherent contradiction). Cryptocurrency is the closest we have to a “free market” currency at present.

This seems like just a procedural change, right? If I’m a business owner and I have a legally-operated surveillance camera, the police have always been legally able to ask me to turn over footage, and I’ve been legally able to do so without asking them for a warrant.

The warrant would compel me to do so, and without it I can tell them I won’t share the footage, but this shift doesn’t seem to change that: it still hinges on the camera owner consenting.

How is subsidizing food producers any different than giving everyone money to buy food?

In both cases you give money to food producers and in turn they increase production. The only difference is in your case the price signal is entirely lost.

For example, say we decide to subsidize corn. In theory, the government is taking money out of your pocket and giving it to the corn farmer who in turn gives corn to you a lower cost. So you're still effectively paying more for the same damn thing, the government just did it for you! Over time a massive bureaucracy and incentive structure will grow around corn farming and special interest groups will fight to the death to make sure corn subsidies never go away. Oh, wait, that's actually the world we live in.

Now imagine I give you cash for food--not specifically corn--you get to decide which food you spend it on. Say everyone can't get enough of corn. Sure, you're right, everyone will pay more for corn the difference is though we also see the price go up instead of the government hiding it. This price signal is very important. Once the price of corn gets too high for you, you will switch to some other food, and in turn different areas of the economy will be stimulated.

Food subsidies are exactly how you get big agriculture. Certain players know how to play the government game better and take advantage of it.

If I give everyone money, sure prices go up, but everyone has gained voting power against existing institutional players, and in my opinion, that is exactly how you get competition and growth.
