Unless you have enough money to build your own CDN infrastructure instead of using cloudfare and do your own advertising.

Sure, that's $$$$$, but I'm uncomfortable with the idea that operating "at substantial scale" is any sort of entitlement. Or that "investing to build the systems and services that tens of millions of people have chosen to use" is "illegitimate." You think "legitimate", political-backed power is would be better? Of the "Shut the internet down when people are protesting something the government does?" variety?

There's negative vs positive spin you could put on this, you know. Things like Twitter let people be heard to a much larger extent than they would've been in the past. Good or bad, it definitely has consequences, and one of them is that some powerful people listen to people who would normally be outside their circle.

Getting paid is more interesting, this is probably easier than it was in the past - there were always pretty limited options, but crypto is a new interesting one.
> A democratic country that shells its own civilians for 7 years and allows neonazi groups in its military?

There’s Neo Nazis in Ukraine actively involved in combat right now. The Russian Neo Nazi PMC Wagner, good thing Russia is so bad at war though, a lot of these Neo Nazis have been thoroughly denazified.

I’m sorry but I find it hard to believe that the country that is
raping and torturing adults and children in Ukraine and committing genocide against the Ukrainian people are the “good guys”.

> Russia is just as democratic if not more so than Ukraine.

Russia has had one leader for the past 30 years, in that time Ukraine managed to oust out a large amount of the Soviet Era corruption that present day Russia forced upon them.

Blasphemy/heresy isn’t speech and banning it isn’t censorship.

Now, I want to be clear. While many people when they give the examples of blasphemy and heresy, they mean those as things that they think are actually good, but which people in power in the past thought were bad and therefore censored/punished.
That’s not how I’m thinking about these.
Blasphemy and heresy are things I view as actually bad.

As such, what I’m not saying is not “you supporting restrictions on hate speech is just enforcing your own dead dogma over an actual critical eye!” . No, that’s not what I’m saying.

So when I oppose censoring blasphemy/heresy, I am opposing censoring some things which I think are actually bad.

Likewise, even though e.g. racism is bad, I don’t conclude that expressing racist fact-claims is “not speech”. It is clearly speech, just bad speech. And as speech, it should be permitted(in some senses of the term “permitted”) in some venues.

(Whether the use of slurs needs to be permitted, when there are ways to express whatever claims without using slurs, may be a different question, due to it being a restriction on how something is expressed rather than on what is expressed. However, on the other hand, I do find the definition of “slur” to be, hm, something to ponder? Something that can be initially confusing.)

Though, of course, there should also be venues where it is not allowed, just as there are venues where spouting heresies can get one banned.
Microsoft hires consultants sometimes to better understand Windows. They hire people to come lecture to them about their own software. (I'm not making fun of them, it's a good idea.) If they can't pony up for a few consulting hours to help their developers learn how to write the software they should have written, that's really on them.

This is demonstrably untrue and yet you proffer it as fact. The pensions benefit from rates rising, because higher rates decrease their liabilities more than it decrements the value of their bonds. The pensions have, as a result, entered swap positions go hedge themselves against rates falling. The only issue is that the sudden drop in the gilt has created a feedback loop in the gilt sell off.

There is a reason why explanations of what went on are so complicated… It’s because pension math is extremely boring. However, you cannot understand the situation, even intuitively, without going into the nitty-gritty to try to learn the plumbing.

Your mistruth is incredibly corrosive to discussion on this site. @dang please keep an eye out.

Edit: I’m reading through the comments here and virtually everyone has it wrong. The pensions made what should have been a good decision to hedge their liabilities. They made a bad decision in terms of forecasting their liquidity needs in a high-stress rate scenario.

Don't look at the word "margin call" and assume they did something wrong. Simplistically, if you're getting called on a hedge, you're probably making money, just less of it. On a position like this, the fund faces a "margin call" every day. It's called variation margin, and all that means is the position's PNL is settled on a cash basis, daily. You may be thinking of a margin call in terms of a retail investor naked shorting a stock that has subsequently tripled in value. It's nothing like that. Variation margin "calls" are part of the structure of the instrument.

I've consulted pensions. Saying that pension fund managers did this to "pay themself large bonuses" is laughable – pension fund managers aren't compensated like other areas of finance so the incentive is always to be more risk averse because they want to keep their jobs.

Edit edit: I don’t mean to say these pension mgrs don’t deserve criticism. It’s just that what I see is so off mark.

Gab should do whatever they are legally required to do under the law and no more. If they want to provide a safe space for white supremacists/conspiracy theorists/whatever, I don’t care. I won’t use it. Me not using their service is not me condoning “censorship” or whatever you think is happening, it’s just me not wanting to use a shitty platform full of shitty people. I don’t like the fact that Visa won’t let sex workers use them as a payment processor either. Just because I am against one thing does not mean I am automatically for another thing.

Arizona has Shannon’s Law (named after a girl who died) but enforcement is hard because there are cultural issues at play where people don’t even see this as wrong.

Still hear gunfire in Phoenix to this day, enough to make me not want to be outside on the “celebratory“ holidays and a lot of other people think this way.

They do hunt down people when they can. About ten years ago I was outside a bar after dropping off my passenger and this guy shot 5 or 6 rounds into the sky, apparently mad he got kicked out of the bar or something. The Phoenix PD was looking for him for the next few hours which made my job a lot harder. For my part, once I realized he wasn’t shooting at me I just carried on with my business because, whatever.
I'm honestly curious how would you know that?

Which metrics would you use to compare one infrastructure to another? Or one eng practice to another.

For example I heard multiple times that in a lot of projects at Google shipping something can take months (and I'm not even talking about search/ads). Compared to let's say Github, that deploys multiple times a day.
There is no money in making software fast, but there is a lot of money/promos in shipping garbage quickly. If it was the opposite, software shops would run their half baked garbage on slow VMs, and block releases until it runs fast enough, nobody at the shop would benefit from this.

depends on how you game in the future. "Show's not on netflix, but I can at least buy the Blu-Ray or subscribe to Hulu for it" may not cut it for some people and it's just "gone" for them. You already have gamers arguing over free launchers after all, I can't imagine asking those same kind of people to "just subscribe to a new launcher for X dollars per month again".

Some consumers can be fickle like that.
"This is trivially answered via the oldest financial instrument in the world, agriculture futures."

No, I think your parent has an interesting point ...

People don't start farming soybeans because they have a free weekend here and there ... it's a long-term, sometimes generational undertaking that has one locked into these activities and investments.

So, in that case, it makes sense you would use derivatives to hedge the activity you have no choice but to undertake.

On the other hand, if you're just a trader-bro ... you do, indeed, have full autonomy and can buy or sell anything you like. You could just as easily afford equivalent protection by buying less of the underlying asset or buying another asset entirely.

Unless, of course, there is a relative price mismatch between the underlying asset and the derivative - in which case it would make sense to pick up the protection cheaply ...

... but I still think your parent has a point that isn't so easily dismissed ...
"Then why would it make you sad to provide a family member or loved one with that terrible job"

It would also make me feel extremely sad to not give them money with no strings attached if they're in need. What's the point? Are you saying that it's unethical to not give your money to family?

If they needed the money, I would feel better getting them to fight for it (because after all, that's better than them dying of cancer or whatever the money is for!) than I would not giving them the money, but I'd feel bad in both situations, because all I'd want to do is maximally help them, and either of these options isn't that.

"I think if everyone acted according to your principles, there would be a net gain in human misery."

That's funny because I thought the same about your views. There are people on the left that want to shut down trade with China or Bangladesh because they view low wages as exploitative. They would condemn these people to the outcome of poverty and death because of their ad hoc ethical rules that have no grounding in outcomes.

"If I had realized you thought it was literally impossible for any employer to behave unethically toward an employee"

I said the opposite. Look at my list of assumptions. In those assumptions are all the typical violations of the employee to employer power dynamic, such as unexpected surprises after the contract is signed (say, unexpected occupational hazard, whatever), deceptive fine print in the contract, pressure tactics to get them to agree to something they don't want to, and so on. That's hardly a Randian perspective. Rand thinks none of these things are possible because people are rational creatures that will never agree to something that isn't in their best interest.
Westinghouse advances eVinci microreactor commercialization in Canada
I would absolutely refuse to ship anything of this piss-poor quality. I would refuse to even participate if I wasn't allowed to achieve at least the existing tool's quality level.

In fact, I have done similar things.

For example, I was asked to develop a protocol-shim for an authentication system used by tens of thousands of people accessing one of the largest SAP systems in the country. I wrote the code, tested it, and said to the PM that the only thing missing for go-live is some HTTPS certificates to make it secure.

He asked me to go to production anyway to meet his deadline, and that the certificates will be fixed up later.

I straight up told him: "No."

The look on his face was hilarious. He called my boss, my boss' boss, and up.

I told all of them: "No."

We waited for the certificates to be issued.

How does session compare to Briar + Orbot?

Did session and lokinet already have a code security audit or pentest?
Have you checked that assertion? Because it didn’t ring true to me based on what I remember (which was that PG-13 tends to be the sweet spot), and it doesn’t match the data I can find, e.g.:

https://stephenfollows.com/which-mpaa-rating-earns-the-most-...

PG-13 is far and away the leader in terms of both highest-grossing films and percentage of box office revenue; R-rated films are actually the second in terms of highest-grossing and, depending on the year, bounce around between second and third. G-rated films, by contrast, are at the bottom across the board.

There is a difference between “family entertainment” and “adults-only” which matters in terms of the discussion around Tumblr’s content. If we’re using MPAA ratings as an analogy, Tumblr’s “no porn” position isn’t “everything must be G-rated,” it’s “nothing can be NC-17.” One can argue about whether the latter is a good stance to take, but it’s important to be arguing about the actual restriction.
Yeah, that's plausible. They don't care about drugs and adultery. They care that it's leverage. If the world already knows, it's not leverage.

Well a 400b dollar market cap disagrees with you. If the energy usage was not justified then nobody would actually mine it. Which means more people think its worth while than not.

Usually pension fund solvency calculations are based on returns being related to the long bond interest rate, so as the long term bond rate goes up, your liabilities decrease.

They'll do more than a discount. They have entire groups dedicated to giving out entirely free products in exchange for five star reviews. They provide entire catalogs of products available; you put in an order request(s) then get a confirmation to place the order. Then you buy the item on Amazon and leave your 5 star review. After the seller verifies your review you are sent full reimbursement typically through PayPal.

I got invited to join one of these groups from a friend and got tons of free products on Amazon this way. I remember getting a free home security system that was like $500 or $600. I never even took it out of the box, just re-sold it on Facebook Marketplace.

Eventually I left the group because I felt bad leaving these good reviews when some of the products were absolutely garbage. It's an unfortunate situation for the sellers though too; people don't buy products on Amazon that don't have reviews. So if a seller can't bootstrap a few good reviews early on then they won't ever start making real sales.

It’s a completely incorrect explanation. There’s no moral hazard here, they weren’t risking pension or funds through the swap agreement. The reason why the answer isn’t clear is because pension math is boring. The thing is, you can’t fully grasp the truth unless you’re willing to engage in it.
What if you check in and there is no hidden cultural element that explains the result? You seem to assume that of course there must be and therefore any research that reaches a conclusion people don't like must necessarily be wrong if only they consult with a person of the appropriate background to tell them so.

The only thing that's important is whether the research was conducted honestly and whether the data is accurate or not.

Stigmatizing is something other people can do or not do with that information, and the people doing the stigmatizing are the ones who should be held responsible for it. Suppressing research because you're afraid someone else might misinterpret it or use it as a justification to do something wrong is not a way to make scientific progress.

Whatever truth about the world the research reveals will still be there and we will be less equipped to deal with it by hiding in ignorance out of fear.

This article is trying to focus on falling bullets, but the only death it mentions (the Syrian refugee in Lebanon) was killed by a stray shot fired more or less horizontally from a rooftop, not from a bullet that was fired (approximately) straight up and then fell. And that's of course the real danger of celebratory gunfire - drunken partiers continuing to fire off shots as they're lowering their guns without thinking.

Shots fired upwards generally aren't lethal on the way down because the terminal velocity of a tumbling bullet (which the simulation in this article isn't accounting for) is usually rather low.
All of this sounds like techno... and every sample is from over 2 years ago. Any updates in this area?
