Robinhood requires a $5/month subscription to go from 1.5% to 3% interest. Only starts being relatively worth it at $7k cash, assuming ~40% marginal tax bracket. And since others are paying 2.3% currently, really it's only worth it at like $15k. Like another commenter said though, 3-month US treasuries are paying 4% and exempt from state tax.
Over the shoulder is often the developer explaining their decisions in the code, instead of the reviewer trying to reverse-engineer it, independently. It's just faster and has less resistance -- not necessarily better.

Problem with remote live reviews is that in a remote environment, it's harder to tell if someone is free or they are doing their own deep work.

Either the developer has to wait for the review to be done asynchronously before the merge... or ping someone to review their code through a screenshare and take away their attention.
I'd be wary about "Russia was attacking west for past 10+years on the cyber-front". Attribution is difficult enough as it is, but we only ever hear "trust us, we know" from the same people who said the same thing about WMDs in Iraq.
Being pedantic indefinitely means "lasting for an unknown or unstated length of time", which kind of implies that the account will be unbanned at some point in the future. But I don't think there's an English word that conveys something will last for ever but could be stopped. Perhaps they should use "limited ban" for a temporary ban and "unlimited ban" for permanent or "permanent appealable ban".

"One of the most dangerous in the world".

But yes, it's also true that the US has backed Pakistan, sold them F-16s etc. This is the problem: the US can back countries that it itself regards as dangerous!

Pakistan was definitely a problem in the War on Afghanistan. The northwestern area of Pakistan, the "federally administered tribal areas", are basically lawless and Taliban could operate from there and strike over the border. There were also attacks on US convoys.

Invading Afghanistan without having either a coastline or a neighbouring solid ally was a big part of the disaster. Every air conditioner running on a US base was powered by diesel that had to be trucked two thousand miles across semi-hostile territory.
Don't know about details of the STOCK act, but for general financial crimes there's a lot more than fines they can impose. There's also restitution, forfeiture, and disgorgement. It isn't like violent crimes which can't be undone.
It's streaming that killed piracy. And even piracy was only partially to avoid paying money: It was a huge UX win over CDs.

The iPod would not have had the impact it had without piracy.

Most certainly not following the letter of the law, but it also just doesn't really matter. Don't overstay and don't tell them you are working when you try to enter on a tourist visa and its not really possible for you to have any problems.
If you do, just leave without making a fuss.

Things become more complicated if you decide you want to stay permanently somewhere while working remotely. Then it depends on the country and how much crap you're willing to put up with.
If this were true the time to engage was Crimea. Or arguably in the 90s when they began this long con with the frozen conflict zones in Transnistria, Abkhazia, etc.

I’ve spent considerable time in the Donbas, especially in Donetsk and Luhansk. I don’t condone anything the Russians have done but many of my former colleagues and friends there identify as Russian and speak Russian. They view their Ukrainian identity as an accident of modern geopolitics than an accurate reflection of their true lineage or historical allegiance(s).

Furthermore, I’ve had to watch as friends in Kyiv have had their means of speaking out publicly and engaging in politics completely shut down via the dictatorial edicts of the current administration, who is conveniently using this war to consolidate power. And let’s not get into the massive cognitive dissonance it requires for Occupy Democrats types to post “Slava Ukraina” on Twitter while condemning Republicans as Neo-Nazis; meanwhile the Ukrainian states have not only supported an openly Neo-Nazi militia (Azov battalion, who have a decade long affiliation with Atomwaffen and others in the esoteric/Eurasian Nazi/Fascism scene) but have nationalized and integrated it into their army as an example of an exemplary task force.

(EDIT: The response here is hilarious. I’m devoting my own funds and time, having moved to Chișinău full time, to working on the ground in Moldova to provide remote jobs and housing for people displaced by this very war. The lack of substantive replies (instead choosing to drive-by downvote), on the other hand, is not helping but is rather furthering an inaccurate and harmful Western narrative of the conflict.)
> NATO operated in Libya to implement a security council resolution, meaning it had at least the tacit approval of China and Russia as well.

The criticism towards NATO in Lybia mostly boils down to NATO overstepping and going out of scope of the resolution. And clearly, it's not Russia, China or the US who should decide for Africa.

What about Syria? The US is relying on NATO infrastructure for its operations there. Who invited them?

What about Yugoslavia? This is an especially noteworthy case, judging by how hard the western propaganda tries to erase it from history. Just ask a Serbian whether they feel like NATOs depleted uranium munitions felt "defensive", or what they think of the narrative that current conflict in Ukraine is the first serious conflict in Europe since WWII.

Srsly, what is it going to take to drop an idiotic supremacist image of NATO as a beloved and welcomed knight in shining armor, and realize that it's just a tool of war.

Probably quite a lot, since it was born in a culture with a history of inventing supremacist ideologies, deaf to an idea that some might not really see it as a universal good, but rather as just another quasi-empire, minding it's own political and economic benefit before anything else.

Quite a lot of people in Eurasia and Africa see NATO as a threat and don't feel like being ochlos to NATO's demos. But what do these subhuman unenlightened savages understand, am I right? /s

At home we use a phrase from an interview with a EU politician that was done BEFORE the ukraine war and asked about the US/CIA warnings of an upcomming war and he said "Always remember, the CIA was the agency that told US presidents for years the vietnam war would be over next week" ...
Sounds like an excuse to not get involved in something because our pattern of fucking things up.

You're absolutely 100% correct. Our track record is dismal. Out of the dozen of military or covert adventures the US undertook in the 20th century, maybe 2 or 3 turned out well. I'd guess the failure rate is >90%.

I prefer LBJ's approach (too bad he didn't follow his own advice): "But we are not about to send American boys 9,000 or 10,000 miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves.”"

Europe can handle it, let them. I'm ok if we sit this one out.
I’m an American and very familiar with the intelligence community and this articles is mindblowing just in the first five paragraphs

It is basically about 18 US intelligence agencies

While maybe 3 of them, the CIA being one, get any attention
I agree with you in some ways and disagree in others. In yet more ways, I am undecided. However, I am convinced that this is probably not the best setting for a discussion like this that will achieve anything more than raising people's blood pressure - I hope you'll agree with me on that.
I think it has been demonstrably true for maybe a good decade and half. As to why some people use alternative methods… maybe because they like it like that? Or maybe because they can't use Bluetooth for some reason? Or maybe they don't know better? Ask them.

The wikipedia page [1] says:

They also face threats from the pet trade as they are over harvested.

Which would seem to indicate that they are not very suitable as pets, unless you can source them ethically, something I would assume to be rather hard for people living far away from where they originate.

Edit: TFA is blocked by my work computer's surf police, perhaps it's a satirical piece illustrating how dumb it would be to have such an animal as a pet, I don't know.

If she knows everything about colors then she could remove her retina and stimulate her visual nerve with the identical signal as color red would produce.

I'm 100% confident that she would experience red without actually seeing red.

Consider a separate thought experiment. A Bob lives in a bubble that does not allow liquids to exists outside his body. If he puts his hand in a completely dry glove sticking outside the bubble and surrounded by water he will experience wetness despite having no contact with water.

We know that our body does not have direct sensors of wetness. We experience pressure and heat loss as wetness. So you 100% can experience wetness without getting wet.
I really like this concept!

It's something I regularly say to our juniors - if you have two ways to do something and one is much easier to debug later, it's probably a better choice. It's a nice extension of not writing unnecessarily overcomplicated code and keeping things readable.

It would be odd if the CIA was good at concealing their successes when they are so poor at concealing their failures.
Your self awareness is appreciable.

Firstly overprescribing antibiotics is dangerous, though I suspect you know this.

Secondly, your comment on evidence based medicine is a little ironic considering that is the mind trap of established practice you are trying to escape.

Take the use of Manuka honey for instance. I now swear by the stuff as a treatment for healing open wounds. I’m not sure if there is enough science here, though by personal experience it treats burns, cuts, and skin abrasions excellently (I no longer use hydrogen peroxide or triple antibiotic ointment as I was raised.)

I cannot speak toward your particular circumstance as health is so complex an issue, though there is much to consider regarding preventative and conscientious self treatment strategies (like purifying one’s diet, or changing self care practices.) there are some problems which simply must be treated “with a knife” though it is surprising how much we can learn to live with in productively accommodating ways.

As for your struggles to adapt, you’re right to want to think for yourself, and to be as well educated as modernity allows (which includes looking to the past as tradition is not wise to ignore.)

"sufficient number of users" is a bit vague.

Is there intended to be an implicit limit of "all the people in the world who might plausibly use this API"? Then I'm sure the law is false.

If there isn't intended to be such a limit, then the law is unfalsifiable and not useful as a guide to activity.

I think this purported law comes from the sort of advice you can end up giving when you notice that many young programmers err too much in the direction of X, so you make an exaggerated statement in the direction of not-X to correct them. This can be distinctly unhelpful in the long run.
How to set up a DataHub on Databricks
I think you're not appreciating the complexity involved in these. Except for delivery, other tasks do involve significant discovery, research and problem solving. Delivery on the other hand is also hard to estimate. Especially when you have multiple deliveries lined up, need to plan your route, find parking, register with building security, manage obscure addresses etc.
>it has the potential to end our current era of unprecedented peace and prosperity.

Is this supposed to be sarcastic?
Or are we just ignoring iraq, yemen, libya, afghanistan because they're far enough away and aren't white?

>Russia must be defeated not appeased

So I'm genuinely interested, how do you see that going? The Ukrainian army marching in red square? What do you think is more likely to lead to nuclear conflict, absolutism or a negotiated peace?

>Russian mafia leaders must be brought to trial for breaking international law

What it feels like you're doing is calling any form of negotiated settlement "appeasement", which seems to be the latest argument used by people with a poor understanding of history. The UK went to war in 1939 to defend Polish independence, but by 1945 Poland and eastern Europe were under Soviet control. Was it "appeasement" that the US and the UK allowed that? Or should we have continued the war after 1945 and invaded the Soviet Union to prevent it?

It should go without saying but with the current state of discourse on this matter I feel it necessary to state that I find this whole invasion to be abhorrent.

And that's even assuming the new fabs will produce the chips currently out of stock.

The current exceptional shortages are mostly in legacy nodes, whereas newly constructed fabs will mainly be producing on cutting-edge nodes. Building new fabs for legacy nodes simply isn't economically viable.
I still want someone to explain how Firenze got rendered as Florence.
It amazes me to no end that some people appear to be genuinely surprised by stuff like this. Or they just continue business-as-usual, entirely ignoring massive risks.

In Germany, chancellor Scholz is actively trying to enable the sale of a third of Hamburg’s port (one of the largest in Europe) to Chinese investors by blocking a chamber vote about it. All security services and ministries sound alarm, yet if no vote is completed or investigation into the matter started by the end of the month, the contract passes by default.

Germany has not even encountered the worst effects of the energy crisis brought on by the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. Yet the highest ranked executive politician tries to ensure that whenever China decides to follow Russias example, Germany’s economy will be destroyed in an instant.

It’s lunacy. It doesn’t even make headlines. What is going on regarding China? Is everyone with economic interests still simply blinded by the volume of the potential Chinese market? Does the Chinese government have career-ending dirt on all of them? I don’t get it. This is not regular, rational behavior for a head of state within Europe.

Trade is normal, selling out your countries’ critical infrastructure to a country holding very different values is plain unconscionable.

The irony here is that in this case they were right, and the Ukraine war is turning into a "Vietnam-like" defeat for Russia. Given another six months they might recapture all the territory lost since 2014.
You don't but this is a classic problem to do with proving guilt vs innocence, isn't it. You have to look for explicit evidence of tampering, instead of trying to prove a negative. That is, start from the assumption that the various actors began in a well meaning place, and then react to evidence of wrongdoing, rather than assume wrongdoing from the start and then try to prove innocence. Otherwise you can never bottom out.
No? It should be a 30% raise for them (for the YT Premium family plan slice of viewers). As long as the revenue split percentage stays constant, an x% increase in the total cost will obviously translate to the same x% increase for each split.
That remains to be seen.

Laws and courts take their sweet time to venture into novel fields which is good when it comes to technology.

I wouldn't be surprised if it'll end up classified as a derived work in the end with some sort of royalty payment towards registered right holders (managed by some sort of collection society)

Has someone yet trained a model on music?
Yup. The history of Ukraine goes way back. It's not like Putin decided to wake up one morning and invade it. Russia has long held that Ukraine is simply "southern Russia". The regions of Ukraine under Russian control have large Russian populations.

The enmity runs deep (on both side) and it goes back well over a century. To simplify it as "Russia invaded Ukraine" is foolish. There is way more to it.
> Not that different than what the US is doing in the Ukraine right now.

A little bit different, in that the Ukraine is a country that is being invaded by a much larger neighbour.

What's your stance on France being invaded by Germany in World War 2?
If the average age of giving birth is 25, Mark Antony would be about 80 generations ago. With each generation back doubling the number of ancestors (2 parents, 4 grandparents, …), this person has a theoretical 2^80 ancestors - somewhat more than the number of people that have ever lived. So clearly that logic is flawed, and the family tree must in fact be a family web - but potentially a very, very wide one.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a large portion of the population of Italy were also descendants of Mark Antony, albeit without the famous lineage to prove it.
Do you feel the same about when the conservative government called for an election in 2017 ahead of schedule?
Using standard form factors and manufacturing techniques made it much easier for Tesla to get batteries off the ground through their partnership with Panasonic. The extra space left by the gaps between cells also has the advantage of being ideal for cooling (battery performance and safety is correlated to temperature).
> with 4 suns the orbit would be chaotic and no periodic pattern would exist to be found

This is only true for certain configurations of N-body systems. The solar system is an N-body system with periodic patterns, at least at a human timescale.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but the idea he was assassinated by the CIA isn't out of the realm of believability.

They had the ability to do it and probably get away with it, and they had motive: self preservation.
I think in this case it's just the density (absorption) but on some machines it's possible to use different energy levels of x-rays (so-called dual energy CT) to see variations in materials/chemistry, that works in a similar way to colour in the visual spectrum (different materials absorb different energy levels of light differently).
Reminds me of that time when my team was called into a meeting where the CTO "advised" us that "code does not have to be perfect", when all we wanted to do was review the code for a PoC that we were ordered to "own" and deploy to production (even the creator said he cannot guarantee the code he copied from Stack Overflow for the PoC is production-ready).

In the same meeting, the CTO was ranting about the instability of a service (which was also a PoC that was pushed to production before we were _also_ made to "own" it, yet never given the budget to even get acquainted to the codebase), claiming the reason for that because we devs are lazy and unprofessional.

I highly doubt making people who _responds_ to the incentives to "feel the pain" will fix much. I suspect things are more likely to get fixed if the people who _creates_ the incentives are the one "feeling the pain".

As they say in Hunger Games, "remember who the real enemy is".
> We’ve heard from regulators and the general public that we need to focus more strongly on security to ensure that we’re taking all the steps possible to make sure people don't use Stable Diffusion for illegal purposes or hurting people.

This is absurd. We don't hold off on releasing other open source code or datasets that could be used to break the law or hurt people, except where they are subject to export controls (cryptography).

I can sympathize with people worried about the danger of photorealistic AI-generated images of individuals, but (1) stable diffusion is not that good: it is quite common to see extra fingers or limbs that blur together. (2) When image generation does become good enough to be dangerous, society will adapt by holding people less responsible for images they appear in.
I think the lesson there is that "the spec is what the program currently does" doesn't work well for the behaviour around rare errors.

(POSIX was a red herring: Linux has never limited itself to POSIX, and anyway POSIX didn't promise that doing things the way the ext4 maintainer recommended would work either.)

The cookies popups are not the fault of the EU. It's the fault of private companies who want to collect more information than they're allowed to without installing cookie popups. All necessary cookies are allowed without a popup, so there's literally no reason for any website to ask you if you want cookies - unless they intend to do something which gratuitously risks your privacy.
Is there any work being done on trust-less (or maybe trust web) distributed model training? The main problem today is that training the model is being gatekept (is that a word?) by actors with 100's of k's of $. If there would be a way to run a client, like SETI@home, that will train models, then a few thousand unsophisticated users with 30x0's and some weeks/months of time will do to model training what bittorrent did to mp3 distribution. But for this to work, you need some way to feed images to users, ensure that images aren't re-used, somehow guard against malicious actors injecting faulty data etc.
We are all different.

I decided to not have children and it was the absolute best decision of my life. I would just have hated to have had children. For many reasons, not just one.

I've known it from a very young age, about 13 or 14 years old, and I've never had any regrets whatsoever. Maybe the slightest pang every 2 or 3 years, for about 10 minutes. Then it goes away fast and I don't think about it for another few years.

Best single decision of my life.

Also, the worst thing that a person can do in terms of climate change, by far the worst thing, is to have a child. Far worse than having a car that burns 8 miles to the gallon or basically anything.

But as others have said, this sounds more like a mental health/mental illness situation. You 100% should see a therapist. for sure.
