But then you are just punishing those that actually pay taxes by making them pay more, while those who evade keep doing it. Also I doubt it would be possible, as raising taxes in the current economical and political climate is a political suicide.

I support regulations that would make it difficult for payment processors like PayPal/Stripe to cut off companies without due process (ideally, third party due process).

The reasons behind all of the bans listed in this article are all one-sided pure conjecture. A skepticism I've developed after interacting with "they hate me for my freedom" types is that they are often omitting key details in an effort to make themselves look like the victims. It's likely they all know exactly why they were banned, but divulging such matters would make them look bad.

I wish the author would have done more due diligence on their part and uncover the actual likely reasoning behind the bans. Some of the best investigative journalism is done when you let your subject tell their side, then confront them with facts that are counter to their claims.

PayPal's poor transparency around how they cut companies off is bad. But it can be the case that each of these people interviewed are also bad and would have been cut off if there were better regulations and transparency around how PayPal operates.
Another consideration for what a balloon could not solve - terrain with height clearance restrictions, like trees or mountains. Otherwise, the economic potential is intriguing.
Not being from NZ, I don't feel it's my place to comment on this legislation or speculate on its effectiveness in that country. Too many variables for me.

But, I think this is a very intriguing way to construct a prohibition. I'm very aware that trying to regulate away vices in my country (the U.S.) has a spotty history at best. If people want it, they're going to get it, and the alternative black market and its attendant criminality is often worse than the initial problem. But, this is a new wrinkle that (I assume) is also aware of that phenomena and is trying to mitigate it. I'm very, very interested in seeing how this plays out. Obviously, hoping for the best!

That's bullshit. The only way to stand up to large tech companies is with regulation, which the United States is pathologically opposed to. Foreign countries have to write their own consumer protection laws because US juggernaut tech companies are so ruthless. Shareholders fear nothing as much as regulatory backlash.

You're at least right about one thing. Large tech companies will always exploit opportunities to limit the user, which is a privilege Apple has abused for too long. It's time for computing to be democratized again, even if we need to drag Apple though the mud to get there.
> Piercing the veil broadly refers to removing limited liability protections because the individuals behaved in such a way (criminally) that they have forfeited their protections.

There is no “limited liability” for criminal sanction to which the term applies. There are criminal immunities, but finding something to be within an exception to one is not called “piercing the veil” in any context.

> A different sort of limited liability is the idea that customers/partners of a fraudulent business are not liable for that fraud

“People other the person committing a wrong are not liable for the wrong” is not generally a “form of limited liability”; it is the basic rule of initial liability. An exception to that is respondeat superior in which a principle is responsible for his agents liability in a broad range of circumstances, and corporate limited liability is an exception to that, since the corporation could otherwise be seen as an agent for its shareholders.

Finding that someone committed a wrong related to a third-party wrong that makes them vicariously liable for that third-party wrong is not generally called “piercing the veil”.

And that’s all in civil liability, which is the only domain where “piercing the veil” applies at all.

> To your point, there is not a snappy term for that specific phenomenon, because it is so rare

No, again, charging co-conspirators in a criminal conspiracy, regardless of their other business relations to each other, isn’t “rare”, has nothing to do with “gross negligence”; it doesn’t have (another) snappy name because its central to the point of the crime of conspiracy.

I find the terminology here odd. I've always been told that it's

vs

* stud frame construction

and that stud framing is divided into ballon framing (now rarely used, because of fire hazards, as noted by the article) and platform framing.

I've never come across "balloon framing" as the generic term for "build a house with lots of small wooden vertical pieces, plus sheathing".

Most of Emacs is written in Lisp. So calling Lisp a "dependency" just reveals that you dont have much of an idea what you are talking about. Thats OK, I ramble along sometimes as well...

As said above, most of the dependencies you saw from Apt in Ubuntu were libraries from the GTK/X11/GUI ecosystem.

I used to run my Emacs as PID 1, so frankly, the dependency problem isnt really a problem...

Ah that makes sense. Yes Reddit is pretty good at not showing you NSFW unless you actually go and look for it. But when you do it takes you all the way down the rabbit hole (figuratively!! - I hope), this is why I found it a bit surprising, it's not just some lingerie pics or anything.

In a way though, that means Safari should be banned too. And the camera app, I mean point it down in the right state of undress... ;)
The mentioned E5 plasma fraction has seemingly led to a new lifespan record for Sprague Dawley rats.

"The female lifespan study, in which E5 is being tested on elderly female rats, is still ongoing because of an extraordinary fact: one of the treated rats, named "Sima", is still alive at 44 months of age. Sprague Dawley rats have a lifespan of 24 to 36 months, with specimens reaching 42 months according to some sources. So Sima, with the help of E5, is extending the limits of the maximum lifespan of Sprague Dawley rats.

The study began in February 2021, when E5 started being injected in 8 female rats every 90 days, with another 8 female rats in the control group. Over time, all the rats in the untreated group died, and in the E5-treated group, all but Sima died. Additionally, Sima has not received any E5 for the last 6 months which may indicate that the benefits of the therapy can become long lasting. She hasn’t lost eyesight, hasn’t developed skin canker sores, hasn’t lost motor function or developed bald patches.

Overall, the treated rats lived longer than the control ones, but it won't be possible to know exactly how much longer on average until Sima dies."
The earlier GPT-3 models aren’t really like that, I wonder if their army of supervised trainers for InstructGPT were just instructed to write like that?

By the same token, using until instead of while and negation would be inelegant, but I think until is less of a stumble block than unless.

Even worse than that, the article has absolute nonsense in it such as this:

> Should your startup go bankrupt, chances are you will as well, and you’ll have to live under a multi-year purgatory during which time your innovative abilities are severely curtailed. No bank will touch you also. It really is pretty bad

(For reference, limited liability companies exist and are the norm in pretty much all European countries)

Also, talking in general "Europe" terms as if things (culture, regulations, people's perceptions) are the same in the Netherlands and Spain, let alone Estonia and Romania.

I sort of handwaved the drag away by claiming this really only makes sense at low velocities. That said, if there's a stiff headwind it might be very difficult to move forward.

One thing that occurred to me here is that perhaps you could shape the balloon like an airfoil to help increase the lift in the right kind of crosswind. Then you'd have to figure out if the increase in thermal losses were sufficiently small.
Advanced Data Protection for iCloud – Platform Security Guide
I’m a resident of Melbourne, in the state of Victoria, which had the longest pandemic lockdown in the world AFAIK. It certainly was at the time the lockdown ended, at least.

Victoria recently had an election wherein the government which was responsible for implementing the lockdown was re-elected. Notably, the state government’s pandemic response was dictated by facts, indeed the chief health officer responsible for informing politicians and implementing policy was a medical practitioner and undeniably an expert in public health matters.

During lockdown and even still, there continue to be protests against the government for their pandemic response, despite the re-election being a clear sign that the will of the people is that they want a government led by (or at least informed by) experts who know what they’re doing.

It’s important to note that there are examples within the Victorian government which show the opposite, though. They have aided logging of old-growth forests, despite saying they won’t allow it to continue. They’ve repeatedly and demonstrably used tax dollars to fund infrastructure projects in electorates where the ruling party has a slim majority (so-called marginal seats).

My point is the Victorian government is far from perfect. It’s been a year since the last lockdown ended, yet the lockdown is still the thing people discuss when it comes to policy. It’s the most invasive action a state government has taken, affecting so many people. It’s what people remember. And it mattered at the polling booth last month, when people voted the government back in. They even saw an increase in the seats they hold, from last election.
This is true, on a global scale both options are bad. On the other hand, on a personal scale, the walled garden is much better option for me. It sucks that the Chinese are stuck between a rock and a hard place, but I am not, and I don't see how it's anyone's business to regulate my choice of technology.

Just because the status quo is bad for some people, it doesn't means it should be made worse for everyone else.

When we say "Europe is", what do we mean? If looking at different groups in europe, i think there 's a major distinction between age groups. At least in the south, young people are literally suffering because of the demographic divide that ensures that they have no wealth, no house, low wages, insecure jobs and work to pay pensions while they themselves will get little of them.

There are also very established public sectors and regulatory hurdles that are not goign to be removed as long as people > 50 are the dominant voting group. I believe there's a big divide in the appetite for risk in younger people, but it's impossible for it to manifest because they are a minority.
The net gain of the entire system at NIF doesn't matter, because the system at NIF was never designed to make a net gain.

People are estimating how this result moves the equation for an overall system that is designed for power production. Most numbers I have seen still leave a theoretically optimal power plant producing around a 30% loss in power with this number.

I’m saying the complexity of IDEs such as IntelliJ is concentrated in their base infrastructure of indexing and refactoring engine and that hasn’t changed all that much in the past decade. That there are more and more new language plugins and some nice UX features built on this core do not reflect some major new complexity in the past decade.

New language plugins and some incremental features that usually only cost when you use them have been added continuously for years.

IntelliJ was already capable in 2010. Your initial example was about fast global search - a feature available for more than 10 years.

I can guarantee that every single business fails to comply with many laws. No one can know every law that might apply to them. A startup in California advertising a remote job that they hire a New Yorker for now has to comply with NYC laws. At best you can try to keep up with, understand, and comply with the most important and well-known laws. But you don't find out your toilets aren't ADA compliant or your storage shed breaks the fire and zoning rules until someone catches you. It's simply not practical to "look up the laws they need to comply with."
One reason I've heard is the much higher cost (and lower availability) of appropriate lumber. The forests were mostly cut down hundreds of years ago, while in north America, that process is still underway (though thankfully slowing a bit).

The status quo was Apple monopolizing that power, I'd much prefer for it to be distributed among other developers. If the process for installing Fortnite or Facebook becomes too painful, users will stop using it. As long as Apple's store is the best-in-the-business, they have nothing to worry about. Now they just need to compete.
One note on the "exponentiality" in the other comment. Getting from Earth's surface to the moon (without staging) requires a rocket that is approximately 99% fuel by mass (calculated using rocket equation and engine performance of a high quality engine). That leaves you with very little margin for building a rocket's structure which means it needs to be built extremely carefully with little room for error. Also in order to get reasonable payloads, you need to make rockets of tremendous sizes in order to get reasonably sized payloads to locations.

On the other hand a rocket that flies from Mars surface too Earth's moon only needs to be 90% fuel which is a lot easier to do with modern materials. This also means that you can carry significantly more payload as your total mass.

With some napkin math, this allows you to launch, with the same rocket, from the surface of Mars to Earth's moon a payload 10 times bigger than if you launched it from Earth. The penalty you pay getting stuff out of Earth's gravity well is just simply huge.

Modern IQ tests are based on factor analysis. The theory goes something along the line that different segments with in the test (e.g. spatial reasoning, basic logic, etc.) correlate with each other and form a single intelligence factor called g. There might be some tests out there that only claim to measure a made up metric called IQ (similar to the SAT) however most modern IQ tests are designed to estimate this g-factor. This is off course pseudo-science as the only evidence that this g-factor exists is from these tests.

Now does this score correlate with some behavior, off course it does. Do groups vary on IQ-scores, off course they do. However, the behavior you can explain with IQ is nothing you couldn’t explain with astrology (outside of very low IQ-scores, which mostly correlate with mental disabilities). They do predict education prospects, but not much better then you parent’s wealth does, and certainly no better then SAT scores. IQ is not a trait, it is a metric, just like SAT scores.

As for group difference, it has been shown over and over again that this group difference can be explained with other more useful metrics like access to education, or your diet. Is it heritable? No. The research accumulated to demonstrate that (mostly done in the latter half of the last century) is reeked with bad science, including forged data, statistical manipulation, false assumptions, etc. The burden of proof is actually on the IQ people. They’ve spent more then a century trying to prove a racial difference, and they have so far utterly failed. Because there isn’t any, and their whole endeavor is pseudo-science.
No, the community here is skeptical of science reporting that seems too good to be true and progress in fusion energy production fits the mould. I’m not an expert on fusion or the physics, so the best I can do is agree with this sentiment and note details from skeptical comments.

Hey, if we’re wrong life will change for the better for billions of people. I like being surprised with good news more than disappointment.
FWIW, I think we should aim for the moon before mars. Things will go wrong, the moon is close enough to mount a rescue if that problem is “the food is all gone”, whereas Mars… the gap between launch windows is long enough for things to go from “fine” to “everyone’s starved to death, including the ones who turned to cannibalism to survive”.

Then there’s the practicalities: while the moon has long days and nights, there’s no global dust storms, and we can send power from the light side to the dark side with a simple wire (the lunar regolith and the vacuum are both insulators, there’s nothing alive or tectonic to mess with one just draped on the surface, only impacts). The Martian atmosphere is so thin it’s only useful for aerobraking and drones, not breathing, and the lack of atmosphere on the moon means non-rocket-based launchers are much easier, which in turn makes the long-term economics easier (though still terrible with current tech).
