> Do people really use their desktop bookmarks on their phones, and how?

Sure. I routinely add things to Pinboard, and check it on mobile. I often look up things I found interesting, but don't remember the link. Finding categories of things using a combination of tags, and being able to drill down further by adding more tags, is very powerful and convenient.

I never understood how tab pinning in a certain browser is manageable for hundreds or even dozens of sites, where any sort of syncing across browsers or platforms becomes a chore. I use 4 browsers on 3 operating systems on a daily basis, and wouldn't be able to function without a central storage for bookmarks.
or just modify the log!
Another alternative: Mozilla's FF Sync is all open source and can be self-hosted. It's easy enough. It still authenticates through their endpoints, though, so if you want to do it fully self-hosted, you also need to host their identity and accounts stack, which is doable but not for the faint of heart.
> The normal use in English is to show that a word comes from German.

I can't think of any such examples similar to "naïve". Stuff like "ü" shows up in German names - and that's because the modern English convention is to not transliterate names that are already spelled in some kind of Latin script, even if it means dealing with weird digraphs, diacritics, or letters like ð. This doesn't work for Cyrillic, though.
Fully agree with the view that ё seems out of place and looks like TETЯIS of atari days.
Never the less I think you should be careful when generalizing monarch's name conventions more widely. For example King Charles III is called Karl in Russia according to tradition of using german names for monarchs. I never saw this convention applied to common folk names, and any other Charles would be called Charles e.g. Charles Darwin is never called Karl Darwin.
It’s hard to know for sure but I agree. SBF might catch a break for looking innocent and young, but this really is a textbook example of when bail should not be granted. Bail may happen if he ends up cooperating.

No, but it is an avoidance mechanism specifically designed to avoid tax on income.

If an independent third party has deemed your stock sufficiently valuable (and stable) to lend money against, then you should be taxed on that loan. You can get a credit when you repay the loan (to offset tax on the income you used to repay).

It's surprising how well these ships sail; although square sails are often thought of as only being effective going down wind, they sail somewhat into the wind fine. And of course, you don't have to worry about a bad gybe removing your rigging.
I was in Norway a few years back and took a tourist trip in a 2/3 replica of a Viking boat found in a burial mound - the crew took us up the lake, turned round and came straight back - it was remarkably nippy and seemed to handle very well. I'd be interested to read how the much larger ship here performed under sail.

> It's unregulated, so there are fewer safeguards against fraud

I work in traditional finance and this imo is a major reason why - the GP is right in that nothing about the fraud was crypto related. But today you could never run an equities brokerage with such absurd lack of anything related to operational competence and customer protections.
How would you want to achieve that?
Adding on to this, we absolutely know how to tax assets. We do it all the time: property (i.e. house) taxes. The unfortunate thing for middle class home owners is that houses are a type of wealth that is taxed just for having it whereas art, corporate shares, bonds, and trust funds are not.

>By the time they put addresses on the streets in Queens they did what you want them to.

That is true, but 34-15 61st Street is a very different place than 34-15 61st Road, 34-15 61st Avenue and 34-15 61st Place.

Which is even more confusing and annoying than Manhattan addresses. About which I'd point out that there are other smart things and other confusing things too: On side streets (not avenues), odd-numbered addresses are on the north side of the street and even-numbered ones on the south side. And on avenues, addresses are generally odd-numbered on the east side of the street and even-numbered on the west side.

Where it exists (north of West 4th Street) the East Side/West Side divide is 5th Avenue, so 5 East 23rd Street is just east of Fifth Avenue and 5 West 23rd is just west of Fifth.

And my favorite: Uptown is (generally) north and downtown is (generally) south, so by walking one block and seeing how the street numbers increase/decrease (and remembering the avenue layout from river to river), you can pretty much determine your whereabouts pretty quickly.

Also (with some variation) one city block (say from 43rd to 44th street, rather than avenue blocks, e.g., from Park to Lexington which have much more variable lengths) is approximately 1/20th of a mile.

Amazing ship, been laid up in Mystic Seaport for the last couple of years after crossing from Norway to the US through Iceland and Greenland. From what I have understood talking with people involved the billionaire builder got bored with the project after it completed the crossing.

How are stock-backed-loans paid back?

If in cash, they have to get the cash from somewhere, right? Supposedly selling the stocks. That can be taxed then and there.

If they transfer the stocks to the lender, that means the stocks in question are valued at $x, since that's the value of the loan. So tax that value.
That's being overly pedantic. You can appreciate (even love) something without being a fanboy. I, for one, can say that I love some of the design of macos, but I also criticise apple on most other things. I don't even own a mac.
How do you know which Windows came first: XP, ME, Vista, 98, 10?

I mean even when Apple uses sequential, numerical names you can't always answer the question of which came first: the iPhone 8 and iPhone X (10) were announced ~simultaneously! And there wasn't even a 9!

My point is it really doesn't matter which big cat or California landmark came first. It's trivial to find out if you want to, but it's not terribly important to encode that in the name you're using to identify your product.

This article has some fascinating visualisations and offers a very compelling theory. However, I think the author lacks two very important points that compound the issue of poverty: the "boots theory" - aka a poor person spends 10$ a year over ten years on new but crap shoes while a rich person spends 100$ once every ten years for a new but good shoe - and the fact that money makes money.

The latter is the elephant in the room, IMO: once you hit 1 million dollars net worth, even a very conservative investment aka government bonds at 1% yields 10.000$ a year, at 5 million dollars it's 50.000$ a year, and at 10 million dollars, it's 100.000$ a year. Basically, once you have reached ~5 million dollars of wealth, you can afford to do whatever the fuck you want (and a bit earlier, if you are willing to risk a bit more and go for stocks). You can choose to not work a day in your life any more and chill out in Costa Rica sipping pina coladas every day, you can go and work for some charity without payment, or you can start up a company and not care how much money you make - as long as you're not actually losing money or spending over the yield of your investments, you literally cannot fail any more. You and your children won't ever experience being poor or homeless.

Super-rich people have it even easier. When you have 100 million dollars or manage to reach billionaire status - why not throw a million or two into some startups each year? Best case, you end up striking a goldmine and making ten times that, worst case you're out of a million dollars but your other conservative investments will make that back in a year.

> Also curious on the tradeoffs between django and flask from someone who has some experience with both

That's me.

TLDR:

Context is E-commerce apps. Best experience is Django. By large.

For anything that looks like a content management system, use Django. That's literally what it's for, and it's unmatched in this space.

If you want to make a backend for your react/vue/svelte frontend, maybe look at Fastapi. Or better yet, use Go.

But Flask... it's a no-go for me in all use cases. Too much fiddling.

This already happens. Many people either don't pay tax, or pay less tax than they cost.

For the U.S. alone, I think the stat is something like out of every 10,000 people, it's something ridiculous like either 40 or even 4 people that own as much wealth as the bottom 6,000 combined. It may honestly be something worse like 1. I remember calculating this from a research paper I read, and I feel like 10,000 was the sample population needed to get a non-fractional rich person or persons. This is absurd.

"Distant" only in the sense that all galaxies are distant. You can see Andromeda and the Magellanic Clouds with the naked eye. You can see the Orion Nebula (but that's not a galaxy). There might be a handful of other nearby galaxies that you can see with the naked eye, I don't know.

As for recycling, you may be surprised to know that in the US it has mostly never happened. Companies found that a simple arbitrage could be completed by shipping away "recyclables" to the third world.

Recycling is a corporate check mark, so corporations pay a premium to add a "post consumer recycled waste" label on their product knowing American virtue & status signaling is powerful enough to make it a cost effecting advertising strategy.

Nowhere have I found information indicating recycled plastics are cheaper than new petrochemical plastics. Plastic is unbelievably cheap.
> In Go the programmer is forced to make a decision on what to do with the error.

Actually go runs perfectly fine if you just do nothing with the error, and then you are flying past errors like it is nobody's business. Of course you can you static analysis to tell you if you forgot to handle an error, and most people do, but that is not really a language feature.

In Java a programmer is also forced to make a decision to add explicit exception handling or not. But if they choose to not add it, the program won't just pretend like all is fine and dandy, it will stop the execution of the current function and pass the exception up the stack.
I don’t like repeating myself in the same thread, but it is socialism. That’s how socialism evolves in the real world just like what we call capitalism isn’t a true free market and it has a lot of corporate welfare. If I were to use your same logic with capitalism, I would say “Let’s bring back capitalism because what we have now isn’t capitalism. Instead, it’s ‘chrony capitalism’ since it doesn’t match Adam Smith’s pure ideology“.

It’s a flawed argument that you guys keep parroting. Leninism is another word for late stage socialism.

Your comment also shows that you failed to read my previous comments. Why bother replying if you’re just going to ignore what I wrote?
How to Babashka (Clojure vs. Bash)
When you tunnel in very loose material, it is a long established technique to drill steel reinforced micropiles (in jargon often called "umbrellas") like in this sketch:

https://www.rodio.ch/rodio-geotechnik-ag/pipe-umbrella-rodio...

Typically these are no longer than 18 meters and have a 3 meters overlap, there are limits in the precision of the drilling and to allow the "next" umbrella to start at the right height/width holes need to have a slightly open angle.

Even if it doesn't seem so to the casual viewer, drilling a (usually) 120-150 mm diameter hole 18 m long results in a non-straight hole due to the flexibility of the drilling rods and the possibility of deviations caused by the presence of different materials, it is not at all an "exact science" and there can be easily errors at the end of the 18 m hole of up to 50 cm or so.

There are of course techniques that allow to drill much straighter holes using external casings, like the type that seem to be used in the video, but they are much more complex (and costly), and anyway the precision of these is far from being "high", in case of long holes.
Why even have a version name then if it’s not intended to communicate anything?

I too find their naming conventions confusing. Apple TV is another example. It could refer to 3 different things depending on how it’s used. I have an Apple TV and an Apple TV subscription but I have no idea which is technically called what.

I also disagree with their casual use of the term “Pro” too. But at least that isn’t an Apple specific problem but rather endemic across the entire tech landscape.

The Microsoft example given by the GP isn’t great though. Microsoft are, in my personal opinion, even worse at naming things than Apple. But as someone who’s released a fair amount of open source, I do acknowledge that naming things is hard.
> This all presupposes that the government is an efficient user of capital, when its pretty clear its not.

It's not a presupposition. That's a separate discussion and should also be improved. We shouldn't say, "oh, we're bad at redistribution, so let's not".

Why should corporations be allowed to purchase homes in the first place? Remove that or heavily tax it.
> Just an investment in a corporation that happens to home a bunch of houses.

But what's the point? If they can't get money out then it doesn't matter. The only reason houses are worth holding as an asset is public bodies stopping the creation of more housing, driving the price up. You fix that with less state interference, not more.
You too are conflating wealth ("rich people") and income ("me").

> In the computational proof, independence is between the probability of computational error affecting the calculation. (To be sure, you'd want to run the proof on different hardware!)

But i don't think that is the concern at hand. Yes, re-running can reduce probability of failures due to soft-memory errors and such. But does nothing against logic errors (or non-transient hardware errors). My understanding is the main concern with the proof is not that a cosmic ray hits RAM and flips a bit, but that either the logic may be wrong or a general epistimitic unease that no human directly inspected the cases of the proof.

In any case i said as much in my original comment. To quote: "excepting cosmic ray induced errors of course"

> Wait, what? Your original comment[1] was specific alleging that the absence of a randomizer completely broke the analogy:

Yes, i stand by that (although accept your point that independence not randomization is the salient property). I also maintain that whether or not it is theoretically possible to do independent tests without a randomness is irrelavent to the matter at hand. What matters is if rerunning the code was an independent experiment, not what could theoretically be possible. Even if there exists some non-random way to do that, its irrelavent to whether or not any method was used.

> Sorry, are you really saying that you see no parallel whatsoever between:

>a) Run the 4-color computer proof multiple times to increase your confidence that the result wasn't just luck, and
>
>b) Run additional rounds of an interactive ZKP to increase your confidence that the prover wasn't just lucky?

Yes.

Although for greater clarity, i would clarify (a) to say i don't see the connection to non-negligibly increasing your confidence the result of the 4 colour is correct. I agree (and said this in my very first comment) that it would increase your confidence that you didn't get an incorrect result due to a soft-memory error. I would say that relative to all the possible reasons why you might get an incorrect answer, transient hardware failure is very low, so the increase in confidence from rerunning is negligible because the meat of the question is programming error.

In the analagous situation, re-running the zkp gives an extremely high increase in confidence the answer is correct, usually at least halving the possibility of error.

> If you were disputing that additional runs of the 4-color computer proof could increase your epistemic confidence in it

Sure, although the original comment was a bit vauge as to exactly what they meant.

For square riggers the problem is rather tacking, because then you're backing the entire sail area and putting strain in the wrong direction for the rigging.

The rigging is built to withstand immense pressure from behind and the side, not from forwards. For larger square riggers they do wearings when the wind starts to pipe up to mitigate this.

The yard sale model doesn't attempt to model an actual economy. It's a thought experiment to counter causality bias.

Human minds tend to be biased towards causal explanations. So if we see huge wealth disparities, we're biased towards thinking that these disparities must exist for some deeper reason (often argued to be meritocracy). The model counters that thinking, by showing that, even in a very simple model with rules that seem fair to everyone, huge disparities can appear entirely at random.

It doesn't prove that the disparities we see in the real world are fully random. It invites us to question the assumption that they aren't.
