Same in the Bay Area. Google maps was always trying to get me to take crazy turns instead of the straightforward way. Save 30 seconds by going on the 101 for an eighth of a mile instead of just driving straight on el Camino. There were a bunch of places i thought were far away because of the crazy routes that turned out to be really convenient to get to once the crazy uncle shortcuts were left behind.
That is excellent parenting on your dad's part. Hope you told him that later.
Amerindians were highly vulnerable to European diseases while Europeans were similarly vulnerable to African diseases. Certain parts of Africa were known as "White Man's Grave".

Displacement by settlers in Africa was limited to areas with suitable climate. In the other areas, the natives were pretty left on their own as long as no exploitable resources were present.
I feel like we’re now arguing not over whether submarines can swim, but over whether the stroke that they’re doing would really count as good technique or not.

Are there any laws in this space that would give the IRS authority to do anything about crypto earnings/losses?
I don't really care if Southwest tried to negotiate for it, chose not to for some well thought out reason or just dropped the ball. The fact that they have to negotiate for it is broken. The "system" is not set up to allow for agility and innovation. Instead, it acts on protectionist incentives on all sides, none of which directly consider the consumer first.

In previous years, the question was worded "virtual currency". This year, it is worded as "digital asset". Looks like the question was broadened to include non-coin assets like NFTs.
"good for the economy" is rather meaningless. High inflation is good for borrowers, and deflation is good for lenders. In order to say whether it is good or bad, you have to have a metric to define good, and calculate it somehow.

Some people have dismissed my comment but I think it's a lot more subtle than can be dismissed by "the flow of money drives the economy".
2 years sounds way too junior. For anything mission critical.
Nice them them to remind all the crypto people to deduct their 2022 losses!
Salt melts ice because of the effect they mention in the next sentence: "And it does not refreeze because the salt dramatically lowers the freezing point of the water." That's the reason it melts in the first place. It's something like: salt comes into contact with ice/snow and diffuses into it, causing it to melt, which then wets out more salt, accelerating the process.
"moral compass" is something leftists invented to try to constrain the freedom of value creators. morals are an imaginary thing - ever read Atlas Shrugged?

I currently move a Salatin-style chicken tractor 12 feet every day, and I could totally see turning this thing into a chicken tractor that moves itself. Bonus points if it could spot sick or injured birds, or identify a problem bird that attacks the other chickens, etc. Or even predator detection/deterrence if a fox or raccoon starts trying to dig under the edge to get inside to the chickens.
Would fixing the draft and adding insulation be the most effective first step?
Not entirely sure, to be honest. I guess you could just not even install the browser extension and just use the separate application. It'll probably be less secure (don't think it'll know what page you're on, so it can prevent phishing) and more annoying, but if that's a hard requirement it should work.
> Like a typical American, I only speak English, though I know enough German and Spanish to navigate public transit

YMMV, but from my experience, I'd suggest budgeting ~2 years to get to reasonable fluency wherever you wind up going, and ~5 years to feel like you've got the hang of your adopted culture. (That's starting from scratch; these days with everything available from home on the internet you might be able to shorten it a bit?)

The answer to that question is the same as to this hypothetical: what if I ask you to move pencil next to you 1cm to the left and you are busy.

When performed by a mob, it is a DDoS attack, and the reason to not comply with it is the same reason people block sources of the DDoS attacks. Moreover, people ban the sources, and share the list with every other good player, so they wouldn't have to deal with the same problem.

Also re "something so unimportant". I never said it is unimportant. It is very important for my workflow to be consistent over time for efficiency.
I co-founded a library technology company, and I didn’t realize this until those initial discussions with my cofounders. Librarians were so far ahead of the curve of adopting electronic delivery. They came up with a variety of technologies and standards to accomplish this when nothing else had been specified or built. It’s quite inspiring.

I even met the librarian who invented the phrase “surfing the internet” at a librarian conference. Yes, a librarian was there to coin phrases at the dawn of the web!

> “I would never put money in any project where the team does not even put their identity & reputation at risk.”

In the heady days of web3 of <checks watch> six months ago, we were being told that it’s actually better if you don’t know who is behind a project because that’s the true spirit of decentralization. Just another crypto gaslighting exercise.

Remember when people were very upset that the creators of the Boring Ape NFTs were revealed from public records?
I like Tesla's products - they have good engineers that are building cool stuff - but I still think the stock is overvalued and people don't understand all the off balance sheet liabilities and risks faced by Tesla.

For example, supporting old models, maintaining inventories of available parts, complying with new regulations, labor issues and unionization, dependence on commodity input costs, environmental issues in production, risk of lawsuits as a result of accidents. Risk of lawsuits over dealership relations and bypassing local laws. Risk of lawsuits over "fully self-driving" marketing. Geopolitical risks with factories in China. Competitive risks from Chinese EV producers.

If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say too many investors are treating it as a tech stock rather than as a manufacturing company, and they don't understand that there are solid reasons why manufacturing companies tend not to do well in the U.S., and aren't able to defend high operating margins nearly as well as tech companies. At least no one has managed to explain to me why Tesla should succeed in maintaining high margins for domestic auto manufacturing when so many others have failed.

Existing tax code already covered crypto to a large extent.

Crypto works the same way.
I'm not sure what you mean, but both a co-worker and a co-workers wife found that eliminating nightshades like the GP did, eliminated their need for medication as well. My wife has a different autoimmune disorder, and had good luck eliminating a different food. The autoimmune protocol is the name for the elimination regimen. There is actually a great deal of literature to back this up. But I believe diet doesn't enter standard of care quickly because of low compliance, among more cynical reasons. This is just anecdotal, but it isn't just subjective symptom descriptions either. These people quit meds while under a doctor's care because their antibody tests reduced dramatically on the diet.

Ruling out peppers, eggplants and tomatoes isn't fun, but it isn't even close to impossible. Imagine having immune responses to corn! Maybe it won't work, but it only takes about a month to evaluate.
> Well, for starters, they don't actually think their junk science is junk science.

For starters, they don't actually care. If it will provide an excuse which can arbitrarily and selectively be cited to justify action, they will embrace it and train their officers on it; if public belief in it is likely to lead to more deference to law enforcement and fear of crime, they will also blast it in their PR (see magic fentanyl). If it will provide an excuse for actions that woild otherwise seem to violate civil rights, they’ll also invest heavily in it.

Truth isn’t relevant to many od the things police agencies pay to train officers on; power is. And the people—often former law enforcement themselves—crafting and selling these ideas know the market they are targeting.

> Not that part about how there are more driving accidents on the day we reset our clocks for DST?

This is kind-of a meme talking point these days, but the few studies on this haven’t shown that the cause is lack of sleep, they only show some correlations with the time change (i.e., there could be other factors such as putting commutes in the twilight hours.) There aren’t that many crashes supposedly attributed to DST either (e.g. it’s claimed to be like 30 fatal crashes out of more than 35,000 annually), and the supposed temporary increase in crashes is dwarfed by crash rates in the summer anyway. If you care about car crashes at all, DST is a teensy blip. The big problems are 1:speeding and 2:drunk driving. Making even a modest change to reduce speeding would do many many times more good than eliminating DST.

One massive problem with the cadre of people claiming DST change is so harmful is that the majority of people experience social jet lag on a weekly basis. The one hour time change twice a year is dwarfed by the number of people staying up several hours late Friday and Saturday night all year long. (Full disclosure, I’m skeptical of many of the claims made about DST, and I’ve done deep dives into many references only to find very weak to non-existant evidence being used to support extremely strongly worded claims. The voodoo claims about circadian misalignment that permeate DST “research” are bogus.)

It’d be interesting to self-measure your sleep & next-day performance, that might be a lot more informative than someone else’s summary. It’d be interesting to discuss how to design some self-measure tests. What kinds of performance are you thinking about? Do you want to know the risks of activities like driving, or are you thinking about job/school performance?
Reminds me of one time I was working as a teen, for a workstation software development group, and my time was shared as an assistant to the site sysadmin.

The head sysadmin was gone and there was an incident that required rebooting or power-cycling the critical Sun 4/390 server that was in a locked machine room, so people were asking me what to do, but I hadn't yet been allowed to touch that server.

This machine handled email, special Internet gateway, Usenet, Sun YP maps, license servers, most of the critical NFS volumes (home directories, tools, SCM of our code), and maybe some weird thing for the non-engineering people who only had Windows boxes.

At the time, I thought of power-cycling as risky (for one thing, we had enough SPARCstations with Quantum 105 drives, that a rare power outage meant that we'd usually lose a workstation, though the 4/390 used huge IPI drives). And I think I didn't have that root password, and maybe not even the door keypad code that the console was behind.

So I mostly just speed-walked around the building, as if with purpose, while trying to figure out who I could contact, to get access and tell me what the safe procedure was to reboot/cycle the big loud machine that everything depended on.

>Twitter isn’t law enforcement so, no, there isn’t a requirement that they provide free hosting and promotion for everyone alleging a crime

I didn't say they should be required to. I just think they should be consistent on their enforcement of the rules.

>In this case, they briefly used their hacked materials policy until deciding that it didn’t apply to the news coverage

Why didn't they do that when GiveSendGo was hacked (the hacking was not in doubt) and names of people who donated to the Freedom Convoy were leaked?

Like I said, I have an issue with the selective enforcement of the rules. If they want to ban material that is hacked that is fine, but to not do it when everybody knows the materials were hacked is ridiculous.

>but did continue to yank non-consensual nudes under their existing policies.

I am fine with suppressing non consensual nudes. I am not OK with suppressing articles about them.

>If you genuinely believed that Hunter Biden had child porn or whatever Giuliani imagines, you’d definitely want that offline since there’s no public benefit to circulating criminal materials and law enforcement is definitely going to investigate it.

No one was suggesting they should be releasing the child porn. I am advocating for allow news articles about it.

There's nothing wrong with being triggered. The problem is to be triggered by etymology.

That is incorrect, cause this is an instance of much, much bigger whole, which as a whole is very important.
There are not enough workers right now. The pandemic sped things up, but it was always coming. I have to wait forever in the grocery store because there are no cashiers, forget baggers, I haven’t seen those since before the pandemic.

Every place I know is desperate for workers who are somewhat competent and will, you know, work.

I am sure this will ease a bit if we truly enter a recession and companies start laying off in mass, but right now I don’t see it. If this continues the US needs to reevaluate immigration policy or at least the number of immigrants let in per year.
It makes me think of INTERCAL, that you need to prepend commands with "please" some of the time, but not so often that it chastises you for being overly polite.
You call them "smugglers" accuse them of "loose thinking" and attack their sincerity.

I'm sick of cynical folks who don't understand that Lex, Joe, etc. are putting themselves out there and are willing to be wrong, but sincerely and genuinely believe that it's better to move the conversation forward than to sit idly by. Their sincerity is not paper thin, in fact it's thicc af. Youngin language aside, there's so much cynicism and echo chambers out there and these people are actually trying to fight that. It's commendable what they do.
This is correct. Apologies for the ambiguity in my comment.
Except the pickle ball court was a conversion of existing recreational facilities (basketball courts?) long requested by employees.

I have no idea why you thought this: "fishing expeditions" are called "discovery" in US law, and they are both absolutely legal and a standard element of pre-trial preparation.

(This has absolutely nothing to do with the IRS's statutory authority to tax your assets, and consequently their authority to ask you about them.)

I went to a B&N for the first time in probably at least 5 years a few weeks ago.

The music section was outstanding; it was clearly curated by multiple music lovers and I saw stuff that I would never have guessed would be available on vinyl in a chain store.

Probably around 40% of the bookshelves were dedicated to stuff teenagers or younger would like, and they had a ton of sci-fi and fantasy (both adult and children), including a bunch of copies of a fantasy book my daughter wanted that the B&N website said was available online only.

I was impressed.
I think you're misunderstanding the limited protections of the fourth amendment with you voluntarily answering questions.

For the purposes of taxation, cryptocurrencies are considered securities. You have to pay capital gains taxes on them (or, as appropriate, deduct your losses).

With "something meaningful", I'm using the parent's terminology. If Guzey has written arguments against non-meaningful stuff, I don't think that's evidence for the meaningful stuff being wrong. That's about the end of my stance; I definitely don't have the info or background knowledge (or effort!) to evaluate either the book or the response on technical merits.

The most beautiful reading room I’ve ever been in. I wanted to go into NYC’s public library reading room, but they don’t allow visitors, which was a bummer. (Or at the very least it’s strongly discouraged unless you’re truly there doing work, rather than just wanting to sit there for a few minutes and soak it in or read a little)
First off, data manipulation is wrong, point blank. There's never a reason for it.

But the article we're discussing mentions this as a footnote, therefore I imagine that Guzey doesn't think it's very relevant either, or else he would have/should have led with it.
