His parents' home isn't worth anything like that. Does that mean only a fraction of the bond value needs to be the security? If so, is that not bullshit?
I don't see them having that kind of money. They've been on the receiving end of the loot, it's essentially being allowed to leverage stolen money in order to finance the bail.

Probably a judge doesn't care where it comes from and the bail bond people see the risk the way you do but it is a bit weird how a person suspected of crime at this level is allowed to await their day in court in freedom while others are immediately jailed because they didn't steal enough...
> If we made it much much easier to build housing then then rental housing market would be like the used car market: viable but not an easy place to sit back and make passive income.

You're overthinking it. Sweden made renting out apartments unattractive without all this sophistication, they just regulate the prices and keep them low.
That was the entire point..

Correction: At SE we don't "modernize old timey phrases". We perform sound-alike spelling updates only. For example clew -> clue, chuse -> choose. Changes are mostly conservative and obvious. People hear "modernize old timey phrases" and they go nuts thinking we're turning Macbeth into Hunger Games. That's just not accurate.

This linked version of Leviathan is a fun project but it's emphatically not the kind of thing we do at SE.

This is just like the "I have nothing to hide so I don't mind tracking" argument.
Any industrial accident causes pollution that has to be cleaned up and has an annular ring around the site you shouldn't be in. There are 1334 superfund cleanup sites in the US. Fukushima is in no way unusual in this regard except that nuclear waste is really easy to detect - with a geiger counter for instance - whereas something like PFAs aren't. We just don't call the area around superfund sites "exclusion zones."

We learn and we improve for next time.
The Democrats' Senate Majority PAC is planning to return $1M contributed by SBF and $2M from Nishad Singh; the House Majority PAC got $6M from SBF and "will send funds in question wherever authorities instruct us". Source (and more details): https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/20/ftx-democrats-senate-majorit...

My understanding is that SBF also made similar contributions to Republicans and conservative PACs etc, but generally hid them (e.g. by giving in other people's names), so those may be harder to track down & return.

I really don't understand your attitude or even the point you are trying.

You act like suberbia exists without infrastructure and to support the live-style you advocate nothing needs to happen, its just free.

And what I am advocating is somehow a privilege that all Americans should be granted and this privilege is a luxury.

This is the exact opposite. A society driving every time they have to buy basic items, large roads connecting to even larger connecting roads connecting to absurdly huge parking lots going into gigantic grocery store to buy basic food comes at an absurd cost.

Please actually inform yourself on the cost of those infrastructures, there is a reason most US towns are basically bankrupt. Why so many roads in the US are falling apart, because you simply can't afford it with the property taxes the city produces. The amount of infrastructure required here is a gigantic privilege and the results can be seen in places like Detroit.

However the more dense mixed use development I advocate for is actually a huge efficient. Its less pollution, produces more taxes then it consumes, less traffic and so on.

There are good data visualization that prove this beyond a reasonable doubt, check out Urban3 (they have lots of resources on YT and other places presenting these results to cites): https://www.urbanthree.com/
It's called indirect cost overhead. Universities take anywhere from 0-100% (yes, you read that 100% right) of money they take in.
I like how every Common Lisp website doesn't even have an SSL certificate. Just started learning the language recently and it takes two clicks to get anywhere.
100% agree. We shouldn't just stop one company from doing this.
And not even one natural disaster, TWO. First an earthquake, then a tsunami. Both at record levels.

It's generally not done because it's a security issue as an attacker could register before you with your email and gain access to your personal info (billing and shipping address and maybe last four of credit card). What would be best if the eCommerce site would send you an email to confirm your email address to unlock your guest checkout orders. That's a fairly complicated flow for most eCommerce outfits so I think they just default to not show guest orders.

"Oops, the flight is no longer available for that price, current price: x (the price other sites were showing). Do you want to buy anyway?". To be fair, the dialog with the "Buy anyway" and "Cancel" buttons weren't using any further dark patterns.

No, I would not like to buy anyway, but to welcome to you to the list od websites I'll never use again, [redacted].com...

I don’t know any poor folks that have had a $250 million dollar bail. Bail for first time offenders ranges from $500-$2500. It is just collateral, you don’t actually pay it if that wasn’t clear. If you can’t temporarily post bond there are 100s of companies out there that will post for you for a small fee (fractions of your actual bond). Is it perfectly fair? No, but I don’t think it is a terrible system either.

Generally for first time offenders that are not a threat to society and unlikely to skip court, bail is waived altogether.
In addition to what the others wrote (a local Matrix server and UnifiedPush provider such as ntfy would work fine), I suggest you look into p2p messaging systems such as Briar. I think Tox is also p2p?

Lastly, Secure Scuttlebutt was actually designed on a boat for sporadic internet connection and local connections, as well as sneakernet, so that would work too, but I don't think it's designed for IM. Perfect for blogs or facebook-like stuff though.

Have a member of the crew go onshore up to a Wi-Fi AP, it will act as an async data transfer for everyone. You can also exhange data with other travellers, including passing boats.

Interestingly, there are a few Matrix p2p experiments. I wish apple opened their Airdrop feature as that would make proximity networking easier, though that should be achievable with Wi-Fi NAN+P2P.
It's wrong that poor people who aren't a threat to society are imprisoned because they can't afford bail, not that rich people aren't. Don't think that the way to get rid of the disparity of privilege is to take it away - it is to grant it to more.
Depends hugely on who you are and what happens with the politics.

CIA and FBI are very big threats to you, which is why you vote regularly to ensure that your rights are represented and those agencies aren't able to abuse their power.

China is a much more distant and abstract, but much more serious threat.

If the FBI or CIA fucks up, they will put let's say 10% of people in prison for opposition to the state.

If China is allowed to gain upper hands on the United States, it will result in broad scale societal problems which I couldn't even begin to estimate. Imagine a world where Russia is allowed to take Europe. Imagine a world where the United States is convinced to stand by as Taiwan is invaded and our chip supply is shut down.

They are very different threats, and should be treated very differently. The FBI and CIA are immune system type systems, where China is a guy with a knife.

The CIA and FBI have checks on them and are balanced as we speak. China is a fully rogue actor with no balancing systems to prevent it from damaging our society.

Both can kill you, both will kill you if given the opportunity. You shouldn't worry not about the guy with a knife because your immune system can kill you in 5 minutes if it wanted to. You should worry about both.
ColdFire isn't precisely 680x0. It has a similar instruction set, but it isn't identical, and (crucially) it doesn't have an external memory/peripheral bus.

As far as I'm aware, there are no longer any "true" 680x0 parts in production. NXP stopped production of the 68SEC000 in 2014; anything still in stock is at least that old.

Which is weird to me, because MM in latin numerals is 2,000

There is a way to express one million as M̅ (horizontal bar above M for M * 1,000), but I think this was a later addon that was not used by the Romans. They probably rarely had to deal with numbers in the millions and if they did, they could just express them as a product like M * M

I doubt they used a bondsman. $25 million is a pretty steep fee. They likely paid the entire bail amount and will get that money back once SBF shows up to court.

I guess there is a tacit assumption that you and the US government have some shared goals, but that you share fewer goals with ByteDance or the government of China.

I guess most Americans aren’t very scared of the feds “because they have nothing to hide”, which as we know is a false sense of security in any surveillance state. But it can still be true that you have /more/ to fear from the government of China, given that they can have economic impact on your life at a macro level.

Most of which the NSA is exempted from. China has laws and courts too.
I am effectively using Telegram as my main social network, and it’s working very well.

If you create tour own channel where only you can post, you can effectively have a blog.

And its privacy features (who can see your phone number, who can add you to groups, who can see your profile picture etc) are very good.

I basically only keep whatsapp around for my family, otherwise I’d be 100% on Telegram.

thats a good and interesting distinction.

So the golden standard (althought I am somewhat biased) for film scanning is this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282841082109 (https://www.filmlight.ltd.uk/products/northlight/overview_nl...) The Northlight film scanner.

The reason why its good is because its not a realtime scanner (like a spirit) so it has the time to do "perfect" registration. This means that you should be able to re-scan the same thing twice, and any VFX/added in stuff will still line up.

It has the light source well away from the film, so it doesn't heat it up. It also does an Infra red pass to allow for dust busting. (that is the removal of blemishes from the film)

This scanner is the one you'd use for restorations/rescans and "digital remastering".

With that in mind, its capable of scanning at 8k (which is then down res'd to 4k from memory).

If you are doing a straight film-to-digital with no remastering (which are pretty rare) then thats what you'd do.

Now, to answer your question!

For restoration, there might be a bit of degraining and re-painting & reconstruction, followed by a regrain. This is because film grain is really hard to rotoscope/paint over. Because the edges all move, and its a general pain. So for some limited restorations there will be some "fake" grain. But only as much as needed to make it look like the rest of the film.

Think of it as like a conserved oil painting, a light cleaning, some post processing to bring out the colours/contrast, bam off to digital.

for "re-mastering" there might be some upscaling. Now, its my understanding that upscalers remove grain, because otherwise you'd just get large amounts of noise on the screen, rather than detail. But there are a large range of ways to upscale. The gold standard is basically re-painting everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrabKK9Bhds or with a 4k remaster of blade runner: https://youtu.be/tN0MtsIz6H0?t=15 where they have spent a lot of time removing film noise.

in those, the film grain is removed almost completely.

the BFI from what I have seen only do restoration and dust removal.
Hm, with all that talk about "zero knowledge architecture", I thought your vault file would be encrypted "in one piece", not just the passwords. If they have the URLs in clear text, that's not really zero knowledge, now is it? And why do they need the URLs anyway, when I can share the passwords just fine from my local PC? Statistics?!
They will likely not being using a bondsman. They are probably paying the bond (ostensibly) themselves. They are taking a $250m loan using their house as collateral. If SBF does not make it to court on the agreed date, his parents will lose their house and be on the hook for the rest of the loan. If he does, his parents get the $250 million back and can pay off the loan. Until then, they are likely just making interest payments.

You can think of bondsmen as essentially very specialized financial institutions. They provide loans to people. If you have a $5000 bond, you can pay a bondsman $500 to front the other $4500 for you. If you make it to court, they get their $4500 back and it's all good. If you don't make it to court, they are incentivized to find you to make sure you make it to court. They are usually not pleased to do this.

You are not required to use a bail bondsman to post bail.
Viking ships are often portrayed as primarily an advantage in warfare, but they played a significant role in trade. People tend to forget about Scandinavia after the Viking age, but those rich shipbuilding traditions did not remain unused. Much of Norwegian prosperity after the Viking age was based on ship building. With few large urban centers and absence of a rich capitalist class, ship building was long a community oriented endeavor. Everybody who contributed got a stake in the profits.

Most activitypub services also host the replies (comments) from other sites & render them on demand. The want you keep expressing, to self host & have comments gathered on you site, is fulfilled in the federated model!! You are incorrect about your fears/concerns.

Someone will almost assuredly buy it at a low enough rate. It's either that or actively lose money each month.

Tbh i'm still confused by your argument. Are you saying that you believe people will, month after month, take a loss for years so that someone can live more cheaply in a house than it would take that same person to own the home themselves?

Economies of scale is the only way this plays out in the long term in any stable way. No?
> like the "New Soviet Man" where you're asking someone not to be human?

I wonder if late American capitalism is doing the same with entrepreneur worship. Mainstream culture celebrates people who are self starters, constantly grinding, always on the lookout for unfulfilled human desires and new markets, sensitive to customers' feelings and individuality while somehow also completely indifferent to urgent systemic catastrophes like environmental destruction or the end of democracy (which require collective effort)...

This is not an ideology like Soviet dogma. But in capitalism's funny way, it's an omnipresent and coherent archetype nevertheless.

A key reason that we want models at least for some applications to be interpretable is to watch out for undesirable features. For example, suppose we want to train a model to figure out whether to grant or deny a loan, and we train it to match the decisions of human loan officers. Now, suppose it turns out that many loan officers have unconscious prejudices that cause them to deny loans more often to green people and grant loans more often to blue people (substitute whatever categories you like for blue/green). The model might wind up with an explicit weight that makes this implicit discrimination explicit. If the model is relatively small and interpretable this weight can be found and perhaps eliminated.

But if that model could chat with us it would replicate the speech of the loan officers, many of whom sincerely believe that they treat green people and blue people fairly. So interpretability can't be about somehow asking the model to justify itself. We may need the equivalent of a debugger.
Facebook perhaps, but it's hard to see the differences between China and the US in terms of spying/wiretapping/harassment.

If we really wanted to avoid China spying on our citizens, we'd implement broad and strong encryption across our network - but we fight that (as a country) because it would weaken our own surveillance.

We could absolutely choose to deescalate in this field, we just don't.
Aye, that’ll be it then. The docs went live towards the end of October, with the release of 0.2.0 (which was a huge change over 0.1, adding the whole CSS approach). If you do decide to dip back by for a look you should hopefully find the documentation covers a lot now, with a really rich tutorial. Still plenty to add of course, it’s a work in progress, but I think we’re doing good for docs now.
It is indeed a poignant reflection to consider the ethical implications of scientific experimentation on non-human animals, particularly when such research involves the abduction of these creatures from their natural habitats and ultimately results in their death. The pursuit of knowledge and understanding is a crucial aspect of the scientific enterprise, but it is essential that we also consider the ethical implications of our actions and strive to minimize harm to other beings as much as possible. In this case, the researchers may have been motivated by a desire to advance our understanding of the biological processes at work within these animals, but it is important to recognize that this pursuit of knowledge must be balanced against the value and dignity of the beings being studied.

What sort of workloads are people doing where the filesystem access is limiting them? I develop python web apps on a mac and use dockerized postgres and a dockerized flask app. I don't seem to experience any noticeable issues. When I am developing I mount the source code directory as a volume so code edits are synced live into the running docker container.

I also develop frontends using vue, managed by npm. In my experience this doesnt need to be dockerized since npm installs everything in a subdirectory per project. Is there a benefit to running this as a dockerized app?
