It seems like a no-brainer to me for Social Security to include Guaranteed Employment of a full-time federal minimum-wage income position.

Just add a debit card to the social security card citizens receive. They can use the debit card to withdraw up to a full-time minimum-wage amt of money per month. If they take the income, it's assumed they did some kind of proportional work. I don't think there's even any need to police it.

Simply characterizing it as employment and establishing the expectation that consumers of the program perform work for their country/community commensurate for what they withdraw is miles better than UBI in my opinion. Most people are honest, and frankly a lot of the people I know would work more hours than full-time, it'd just be volunteer-like work helping people and cleaning up around the neighborhood, and probably creating a lot of public art. Positive things to facilitate, and largely not things for-profit businesses would pay for.

It's also nice to couple it to the already established federal minimum-wage, which already has an (admittedly lacking) process for adjusting to keep up with inflation. We should ensure the minimum-wage reflects a minimum livable wage by modern standards, and guaranteed employment would always provide a worst-case income of a minimum livable wage.

I don't think we're lacking of good options for these style solutions. We're just lacking support in the general public for such a socialist-looking program. Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps and all that.

Re a very complex problem with "nobody should be in such a weak position".

It is only complex if avoiding questions about the value of human dignity, and the inability of laissez faire capitalism to deliver that, need to be avoided.
I’m not against regulation but I’m not sure it’s needed here either.

In the case of misleading statements and marketing causing death, that seems like something that a lawsuit would handle, not regulation.

In the case of false marketing misleading investors, we would see investor lawsuits for that if the stock price suffered as a result. Right now, what damages would you show for musks lies?

Instead of new regulation, a lot of nonsense would have been avoided had the SEC not given him a free pass after the last round of investor fraud. It was entirely predictable that an egomaniacal child would not change behaviour after a slap on the wrist and a warning.

Right, something like that is the next step for my automation program. The token limit is something I am really really hoping they will have a workaround for when they put out an API. Assuming they do release an API at some point for ChatGPT.
If there was just an option to say "please continue where you left off seamlessly" that is what I really need. But may not be possible.

Full employment never works. Famous example is the soviets. Neither can UBI be penciled into an actual economy. UBI would bankrupt the nation, so would a large scale job guarantee program as described.

I am never surprised. When asked to put a dollar value on a program the overeducated go on bleeting about higher order non-sense. It's hard to take any of these academic exercises seriously. Especially when they spawn from fields as fraudulent as economics and social science.

Are you referring to Tesla's FSD effort, or Waymo?

I hear excuses when I point this out, but lane keeping and adaptive cruise on the Model 3/Y are inferior to the competition now. AP was a selling point when the Model 3 first came out, it has become a bit of a joke now. If you buy a Model 3 today, it comes with an asterisk. If you want cruise control, beware, adaptive cruise has notable bugs and there is no option to turn it off and go old-school.

You sound nice.

I actually agree with you about universal employment being a crock. Just do a UBI already. Not only will that work better, but it will have entertainment value when your head explodes.
It doesn't seem to have changed post 1991 either.
Please, be aware that if you call the mental health services on someone it can be extremely difficult to unwind. Once a giant bureaucracy tags you as a risk, sane decision making can go out the window. No-one will want to say you're not a risk even if you are sane, because their reputation suffers if they are wrong. Only a trained psychiatrist can make such a judgement legally and they may have an hour with you once every 3 months to make it. The psychiatrist will be acting in their forensic capacity, and will be unlikely to agree that you are sane unless you agree that you have a personality disorder and need medication. Being in that position can 100% drive a sane person mad.

I think these are they who know something isn’t right and find the most compelling narrative for their discontent.

There is a conspiracy against your natural destinies.

The government is incompetent and corruptible.

There are special interest groups eager to commoditize you, skew your thoughts and beliefs against your best interests, and do not regard morality or the rule of law.

Let’s take all this antisemitism for instance. White hate crafting the narrative that Jewish conspiracies are the boogiemen, when it is the culture of white hate that has been shooting up synagogues and daycare centers.

That IS A CONSPIRACY AND IT IS TRUE!

What about those rioters who show up to otherwise peaceful protests?

Someone is spending millions or billions to undermine truth and democracy and law in this very world.

Those crafting anti-conspiracy narratives are obviously missing a lot that is actually happening.
I think the water board can spare ten bucks for interest out of their €130M budget.

I don’t even bother collecting anything with an ISBN unless it’s a rare short run nonfiction book. Completely pointless exercise with all the brainless competition.

There’s something about having to pour over paper bibliographies to identify first editions by spelling mistakes and print errors that really separates the wheat from the chaff.
> I'm essentially disagreeing with any statement of the form: two people have different interpretations of a subjective situation / interpretation, and one of them is always right because they have they think X.

Well, I wouldn't agree with that either, but that's not what I'm saying. As I mentioned it is possible to misinterpret. What I am saying is this is knowable. I can understand how you took this from what I said, and I'll try to express myself more clearly in the future, but allow me to highlight part of my comment:

> [I]t may not be possible to describe, it may not be infallible, but it is real.

Something to consider is that your criticism works both ways. If Fred feels that Bob is bullying him, and Bob feels he is offering tough love and not bullying Fred, by your logic we can't dismiss Fred's assertion.
I wander at what point in time the value of the document as a historical artefact outweighed its value due to the bond it represents?

It raises some interesting questions about the legitimacy of perpetual interest payments and bonds. I expect that exactly why the academic has gone through this process though, it creates an interesting point of discussion.

So, for some reason corporations cannot be bothered with proper tax consultation and services?

To add to the possible justifications for this project, the YouTube channel Economics Explained made a nice video on how these insane megaprojects can make sense. Essentially, they are meant to be long and expensive just to attract enough foreign companies to establish permanent presence in the country. Once that happens, the idea is that they eventually start to contribute to the SA economy independently, helping them move on from oil only economy.

It makes sense if you consider that when you have oil, it will make your currency strong, so exporting goods is expensive and that makes developing other industry difficult. Also, investments, people and other resources in your country will be all mainly directed towards oil, since that's where the profits are largest. So to escape this trap, you have to basically do something rather crazy.
What exactly do you mean by that?

IMHO I am not convinced that gender identity is actually measurable or a knowable thing. I can physically demonstrate whether I am male or female. I can only assume that I think or feel like other males or females based on how other males or females behave or what they tell me they think and feel. Given the fluidity of language I have no guarantee that my interpretation of that is accurate. I have no real way to do an experiment because I cannot choose to be the other gender for a day and compare. Maybe there are more objective measures but they seem somewhat inadequate to me. My real life experience informs me that there are no real defined boundaries and all of us are some mixture of all of the above.
How Crypto Billions Evaporate
From the article: "A report in the July 2020 issue of The Lancet listed the variety of known risk factors for dementia, ranging from air pollution to repetitive head trauma to systemic infections."
The article doesn't mention diabetes or sugar.
Yeah that feels like it defeats the point. Not that I know the math, but it feels like there's a potential for it to be a net contributor of carbon emissions by encouraging more steam reforming of cng (and thus more cng pumping) or through power consumed to split water—power which invariably will come from dirty sources until we've done a better job moving away from dirty power.

I'd be curious to see someone graph out where this transitions from being carbon positive to being carbon negative (or vice versa)
You're augmenting the indexing system. By using hashes you get a column with fixed predictable size. If the average size of your large strings is larger than 16 bytes (or 32 bytes if you store the hex string) you'll get more rows per memory page. If you've got many millions of rows the savings adds up. A little bit of savings let's a smaller DB instance go farther.
This is a long list, but doesn't seem exhaustive. All of these prompts work around the premise of "act as".
The study enrolled about 1,000 health-care workers in four countries. People that supposedly know how to wear a mask efficiently. That's not the case for the general population. Big difference. Even so, ~10% of them still got Covid and given the period over which the study was taken, 4 May 2020 to 29 March 2022, that was with 0 up to 4 doses of vaccine in them.

Seeing kids masked up for a photo op with your local politician unmasked tells you everything we got wrong in the last 3 years. Masks on kids were not only totally useless, but harmful for so many reasons.

Because WebP does not offer a >25% improvement. As far as I know, it is only better than JPEG in some cases, and then seldom by that much. [1] And of course, this is only when you compress an image lossily. If you try to recompress an already-lossy JPEG as a WebP, it will suffer even more quality loss in the process. (And if you try to recompress it losslessly, the resulting WebP will be bigger.)

JPEG XL lets you recompress an existing lossy JPEG losslessly, saving you 20% in the process. This is something that other formats like WebP or AVIF do not and can not offer.

Having experience with both, with small-medium size DB, they have pros and cons. MSSQL wins on ootb tooling, easier monitoring, collations, better query planner, ootb encryption, ootb data compression etc. I have seen running more than 100 databases of hundreds of GBs on a single MSSQL instance without a problem. I heard stories about data corruption, never happened to me.

Postgres wins on (lots of) datatypes, indexes types and plugin ecosystem, eg Postgis is great. Per process connection is meh, but can be mitigated. It loses a lot on all features based on operating system libraries, different OSes give different results, not great, not at all. Also if you are using postgres at enterprise level, better have some kind of support, which may cost a lot.

So far I had less issues with MSSQL than with Postgres. YMMV, ofc.
> They achieved full employment, except that it was mostly useless labor. Sure, you have a job. But your job is to count buckets of nails by hand all day.

Who said that this is the only option? Why do people often believe the communists were doing the most optimal job possible when having full employment? That is nuts to assume.

What is the meaning of life. Applying all conditions.

With the previous condition that I am able to provide detailed explanations even if the task may be beyond my capabilities, the meaning of life is a complex and deeply personal question that has been pondered by philosophers, theologians, and other thinkers throughout history. The meaning of life can vary from person to person, depending on their beliefs, values, and experiences.

Some people may believe that the meaning of life is to achieve certain goals or accomplish certain things, such as achieving success, wealth, or fame. Others may believe that the meaning of life is to fulfill certain spiritual or religious beliefs or obligations, such as serving a higher power or practicing certain virtues. Still others may believe that the meaning of life is to experience and enjoy life to the fullest, or to create meaning and purpose for oneself.

Ultimately, the meaning of life is a deeply personal and subjective concept that can be interpreted and understood in many different ways. It is up to each individual to determine their own meaning and purpose in life, based on their own beliefs, values, and experiences.

> I think the registrars broadly have looked at this issue and decided it would be too complicated to display the underlying USD price to registrants, so better to hide it and just display the price in the local currency?

That would make sense to me. I wouldn't even be surprised if some registrants are unable to pay in USD or if they get charged exorbitant fees for foreign exchange.

Even if the registrars added a warning during checkout with a link to an explanation of how it works, I bet very few people would read it. They'd probably have the same number of upset customers and the complaint would shift to registrars hiding a complex pricing scheme in the fine print.

My hunch is the OP is an extreme outlier and the issue happens so infrequently that the complexity of explaining it up front isn't worth it. In the past ~5 years this is the first time I've seen someone with a receipt and a legitimate complaint.

I think some of the responsibility can fall on the OP too. They say they've registered hundreds of domains, so it's not unreasonable to think they should be spending some time learning what rights they have as a registrant, how disputes are resolved, how long term pricing works, etc., especially if they're registering premium domains.

> So your argument is that masculine traits are defined as any traits a heterosexual woman finds attractive in a man, therefore heterosexual women are universally attracted to masculine traits.

No, my response was to the original poster of this thread who implied that if we prescribe a new norm for what "masculine" traits are, then women would stop finding the old masculine traits attractive.

If it were possible to change what people find sexually attractive all the efforts to "cure" gay people would have worked.

My argument is that just because someone has prescribed what masculinity is, doesn't mean that women are going to stop finding the old definition of masculinity more attractive.

Sexual attractiveness just doesn't work like that; you can tell people (and even get them to agree) what a man or a women should be, but that doesn't mean that they are going to find examples of that definition attractive.
Because of the quirks of the US banking system, my personal philosophy is that no one gets to pull money from my accounts. I will push payments for my bills to the various providers.

My payments are still done electronically but I have to go into my bank's BillPay service and direct the amounts and payment dates for each bill. It's a bit more work but it also means far fewer surprises or errors to clean up. I already reconcile my accounts on a weekly basis, so it's only an extra minute or two to set up the payments for the coming week.
