If I understand you right you're saying that a 501c3 is a net gain in money?

Would you mind walking me through that?

You start off with $1B net. Presumably these are capital gains. You donate it to your own 501c3, and get 125M back on your taxes. Now you take out salary (taxed at what, 37%?), and get a total of $755M (including the $125M). No, that was a losing bet.

Ok, so you also spend it on other things. But to net gain on this you still have to actually spend less than $125M not only on actual charity, but also on overhead.

Basically can you launder this money at less than 12.5%? Keeping in mind that once laundered it's still not really yours. Sure, you control it. But it'll always be just mostly assets under your control.

You can't use that money to buy Twitter.

Also keep in mind that real money laundering can cost about 20-30%.

Is it even worth 12.5% if the billion comes with these huge restrictions?

Am I missing something?
That's actually the definition of the median.
I think I'd say yea because AFAIK/IIRC query planners tend to use additional environment informations to make better plan. Maybe it would be closer to JIT?
We had to abandon DBT cloud because it was very feature limited - it does the basics well though, so is a good starting point for most, but seems like it's easy to outgrow.

The new metrics feature is tied to DBT cloud - probably because that is the only way they could get bigger users to get value from their hosted product and not just DIY it. (offering a largely propitiatory feature). However, I don't know what the uptake of the metrics feature is - it seems half baked to me.
The single protocol throughout my house was my primary goal too, just to reduce complexity of having to deal with multiple hubs and integrations... but with my new house I did away with that.

Lutron Caseta for physical in-wall switches, IKEA Tradfri for cheap motion sensors/lighs, Philips Hue for more expensive motion sensors/lights, and a whole slew of Thread enabled devices, all controlled from HomeKit.

I don't really notice that its a bunch of different protocols/wireless standards underneath. I can control it from a single location which also makes it easier for guests/people visiting. Hand them an iPad with the Home app and they can control the house, or add them a Guest to my home on their own iOS devices.

I do miss some of the more advanced Home Assistant stuff I was doing, but overall the experience has been much cleaner, and with almost 0 lag.
The polls point out to such outcome.

Honestly, if your goal is to monetize a blog, I think a technical/programming blog is not best suited for that. You could try newsletters with affiliate links or paid courses, but the market for that is pretty saturated, and there are plenty of equally good courses and content available for free. Alternatively, you might consider Google Ads or native advertisements, but YMMV depending on traffic and your audience.

Personally, technical blogs that are loaded with ads tend to make me look elsewhere and are a huge turnoff. I am not sure what others think about this, however.

My blog is intended to be a repository of technical learnings and lessons, as well as a place for future me to reference as-needed. If I was interested in monetizing a blog, I would probably choose a more mainstream topic.
> EU laws are mostly laws from specific countries that bubbles up to the union

Nope. Euparl does most of these regulations. The GDPR, digital gatekeepers and various other internet related laws originated from the left wing parties in Euparl - those parties grew from pirate party roots. The pirate parties that were founded in many Eu countries in mid 2000s during the copyright/filesharing battles.

Don't get me wrong, I love McMaster - but I feel like people attempt to over apply their patterns everywhere else.

I feel like all of the discussion misses a key point - when you shop on McMaster, you already have a very detailed idea of what you're looking for. McMaster becomes rather difficult to use if you don't know exactly what you're looking for. Many of the product categories get rolled up as representative products. Many products have meaningful variations nested deep. It's very hard to quickly scroll through a list of items to figure out what might be represent you needs.

Now, that's not necessarily a problem McMaster should fix. They cater to the professional market. They cater to people who know exactly what they want. They can do this because their products are mostly derived off market standards.

There's a _very_ good chance that your user base won't be the same. There's a very good chance that your user base won't know they need a "Surface-Mount Lift-Off Hinges with Holes made of stainless with XYZ dimensions".
There are a couple issues I see with basic access and working with large datasets. Ease of access for typical users is also a valid issue.

First, we still mostly move the data to the computation when we should be moving the computation to the data. Moving the data works fine when data is small but if the data volumes are large (as sensor/geo data tends to be) then it can take an incredibly long time to move the data. In many cases, more time is spent shoveling data over the network than actually doing the computation. This has become worse as storage density has increased, hundreds of TB/server is ordinary.

Second, the data is rarely organized in a way that makes it efficient to extract arbitrary subsets. There is still a lot of what is essentially "grep at scale" going on. Again, not a problem if the data is small but if I need a specific 50TB subset of a 10PB source, this becomes prohibitively slow. The data needs to be organized such that we can slice and dice it with high selectivity in place, much more like a proper database and less of a distributed filesystem. Because spatiotemporal analysis tends to involve iterative join-like operations, you want this to be efficient as possible.

The other big problem is many of these data sources are too large for everyone to have their own copy. Or if they did have their own copy, it would be extraordinarily wasteful. This is adjacent to the first issue. EDIT: And herein is the likely business model.

Got sucked into reading the article because of the "didn't go as planned" but it left my thirst for failure stories unquenched. Should have known.

That aside, that thing with opaque types in Scala sounds interesting - but how would the compiler know that the parameter was a UserId and not just a random string?

This is not that surprising to me and at all contradictory.

As an example, if you are a doctor you may advise someone taking exactly 2 pills at a time exactly 12 hours apart. This is not because 12 hours is magic - but because you want to make sure the patient isn't going days without them or taking them all in one sitting. Someone who knows the actual (marginal) downsides will not be as bothered by the strict rules.

I think perhaps the article comes from the opinion it is surprising doctors don't follow the advice 100% of the time, but for more clear context the difference between doctors and everyone else is actually pretty small.

>Overall, the research shows that the rest of the population adheres to general medication guidelines 54.4 percent of the time, while doctors and their families lag 3.8 percentage points behind that.

It's not that the Z-Wave stick falls behind, when a Z-Wave device is broadcasting everything else has to go quiet (nature of RF), but the transmission speed is just very low, so when chatty devices (think sensors that report multiple bits of information such as humidity, temperature, light level, UV level, and more) are sending data you can't also turn on a light.

When you have a lot of those devices on the Z-Wave network (multiple motion sensors in a room to do more accurate presence detection and the like) those chatty devices slow down the network tremendously.
Pathetic. If you can't fit your code into L1, are you even a real programmer? No one has time for your Electron shit. Get real, bruh, what's your deadlift?
No that's not P-hacking. The majority of US residents have been infected at this point. The sizes of those population groups both with and without serious pre-existing conditions are so huge that there is minimal chance of an incorrect random result.

Your link is not relevant to this issue so I don't know what point you're trying to make.

To be clear I support vaccination. But patients should make their own decisions free of coercion based on informed consent with full knowledge of the risks on both sides. Don't presume to patronize them with spurious, bad faith comments about "P-hacking". Let's see the actual data.

You would get cube root speedup instead of sqrt for a collision (birthday attack), or sqrt instead of brute force for a preimage. So SHA256 is secure from preimage attacks even with a quantum computer, and gives 2^80 protection against collisions. SHA-2/384 would be sufficient for 128-bit security against collisions.

We don't know whether or not Myocarditis is a result of the infection or the immune response; in either scenario people who are predisposed to myocarditis would likely have similar reactions during either infection or vaccine.

This is the most straightforward conclusion. Some people’s hearts don’t like the immune response to Covid. Since everyone is going to get it eventually, avoiding the vax seems based on myocarditis seems illogical.

I think we are running up on a future where intellectual and creative tasks will be automated, but manual tasks won't be. My perception is that we are making more progress on mental tasks than on physical manipulations and the robots to do physical things are substantially more expensive.

I think the short-medium term future is not that you have nothing to do in a world of abundance, but rather that you are a manual laborer instead of a programmer, lawyer, artist, etc. The future is that you work as a Door Dasher for an automated company and enjoy AI generated art as you do. The car mostly drives itself while you listen to bespoke generated music or podcasts, occasionally taking over for the car and mainly doing "last few feet" delivery - dropping packages and bags off at the door.
A query planner will consider the idiosyncratic properties of your data to determine the most efficient way to execute your query, whereas a compiler is generally blind to the data your program will be processing.

So if you execute the query "SELECT * FROM (a, b) WHERE a.foo = b.bar", if you have many rows in `a` but few rows in `b`, then it's much for efficient to scan `b` than `a`. The query planner will keep track of properties like this & come up with tricks to speed up execution.

But in the sense that "everything is a compiler", yeah you could totally think of a query planner as a compiler that takes in your query's AST and a statistical description of your data and lowers it to a query plan.
Then you need that support in every related place, as the other comment about GitHub points out.

> Not having to be a wage slave to survive is a good thing for humanity.

I mean, sure, that's one of the two paths discussed in "Manna" by Marshall Brain. Within the book it's called "The Australia Project"; a kind of utopia.

Myself and the OP are more worried about the other path: a dystopia in which the majority of people are forced into something much worse than wage slavery by those in control of the thinking machines. A dystopia not unlike the one that led to the "Great Revolt" in the Dune series.
Because we live in a society under the rule of law for which law enforcement's ability to enforce laws is generally seen as a good thing. The proper place to add 'friction' in that process is legislation - requiring a warrant, for instance.

But there's nothing inherently unjust or malign about law enforcement being able to easily perform its duties (given a legitimate context) or even for companies to give law enforcement the means to police illegal content online, that's their job, nor is the cause of liberty necessarily served by making it arbitrarily difficult.

But if you need a purely technical argument, because requiring law enforcement to use black-hat methods means requiring maintaining a minimal level of unsafety for the protocol.

Text size, just fine. A few games have had pixelated text that was obviously meant for a larger screen, but I've had zero issues reading in these cases. Note, I'm not trying to play Civilization VI or some 4X game that _wants_ a big monitor. While the screen is small (bigger than a Switch screen, bigger than my phone) the resolution is great. I'm playing games on it that I last played on a 1024x768, or a CRT TV (Fable).

Noise-wise, yeah you can hear the fan kick in but it's not really loud. No issues bothering other people nearby, no issues with the onboard speakers playing over the fan noise.

In regards to the Deck not having games designed for it, Valve has done a fantastic job laying the groundwork for this product. Go all the way back to the Steam Controller and Steam Link; while those products were not a huge commercial success for Valve, I can see all the lessons learned paying off with the Deck.

Wanna save some battery life and you're on your LAN? Stream the game from your beefy desktop. Controller layout not working? Every button is fully programable and removable. This thing has inputs out the arse. Touchpads, D-Pad, 4 extra under-side triggers.

> Power is much more centralized in socialist systems. Consequently, corruption spreads much faster compared to more decentralized systems like capitalism

Those are religious statements without any sound basis. In a capitalist system corruption is normalized in the form of the 'freedom of the property owner to do whatever he wants with his property' and 'election funding'.

> The end results is everyone is equally poor except for high level government officials.

Another religious statement.

Which contradicts the reality. The US is not at war. Nobody is sanctioning the US. Nobody is conducting economic warfare against the US. The US sat at the top of the world's economic system uncontested for the last 30 years. And that is the result.
Right, you have a hypothesis. But you don't have data. Trying to tease out evidence for your hypothesis from existing data by slicing the data set up is the very definition of p-hacking. If you refuse to believe existing work on the basis of an unmeasured hypothesis, well, that's a different sort of logical fallacy on top of the bad statistics.

I mean heat pump water heaters already exist [346] and they're reasonable in most everywhere (they put extra load on the furnace in cold climates in the winter but can still be a win overall). The main advance here might be more "smart integration" with the grid, but that is going to have to be a national level thing.

Could you please not fulminate and call names in HN comments? You can make your substantive points without any of that, and it would be in your interest, because comments like this only discredit your viewpoint.

I realize how frustrating it is to hold a minority/contrarian view, but why hand people flaming reasons to dismiss you? All it does is weaken your own position, and you're poisoning the ecosystem by doing it. You can weaken your position if you want to, but it's not ok to poison the ecosystem.

I agree with this but I don't think the solution is banning by law. The solution for all of these substances you mention is education, prevention, and treatment. Just like with banning alcohol, people will get around it and find even less healthy ways to feed their addictions. I mean Instagram already stole tiktok's functionality, now they just need to tune their algorithms to match the same level of dopamine drip that tiktok supplies.

Trust me, I'm aware of how addictive tiktok is, I had to swear off it after finding myself multiple hours deep in scrolling holes multiple times. But banning one platform (over something unrelated, privacy/data concerns) will do nothing to stem social media addiction.
A few years back I also used WebRTC with different backends (Kurento, Puppeteer, Mediasoup) to try and make an audio-based social network. I got pretty far but I was on my own and a grad student at the same time so the project died. A few years later Clubhouse became viral, it was essentially the same thing I was doing.

I still use WebRTC for my personal projects but the difficulty of compiling and embedding it in a backend makes it really hard to use by the masses. My next project is going to use Pion, and I'm going to make a static compilation and just distribute the executable and have the main service use IPC to communicate with the Pion module.
