Indeed, US sanctions can only increase the costs and lower access to advanced high end tech of domestic Iran defence industry.

This still has serious consequences, especially long term and extends well beyond the miltary... Even if the miscellaneous run of the mill electronics aren't controllable.

Not to just contradict, but computers playing chess or video games is also distinct from human play. I'm absolutely not expecting strong AI (as "AGI" used to be called) to be realized within 100 years, but when it does, it will have distinctly non-human qualities. Intelligence is shaped by the constraints of the hardware, so to speak, and a computer's constraints will be different. It's been predicted that the first self-aware AI will develop severe mental problems, almost, but not quite, entirely unlike Marvin in THHGTTG.
This is the story that will be told to support austerity which will be used by a small cohort to accumulate even more wealth at the expense of everyone else and cause a generation of misery. What this story misses is that the government controls the money. The US Government can't go "bankrupt," it is the bank. The US Government doesn't have to "live within their means" - it is the means. The US Government can't "overspend money [they] don't have," because it has all the money, and the money printer. Sovereign nation 'debt' doesn't work like any other debt, and it's so incredibly useful on it's own that it makes sense to make a lot of it. This idea that the US Government has to pay back its debt is a fiction that has no utility any more.[1]

I will agree with you that most military spending is inefficient at best, and that we should shift our focus and values to something more productive rather than something literally destructive.

That's different than what non-compete contracts are used for, so that's a different discussion entirely. A corporation that abuses non-competes can destroy an individual's life. There's no real reverse of that, and stealing trade secrets is already covered by law (see what happened to Anthony Levandowski).

It's completely unfair to pit an individual against a corporation. For the individual, a lawsuit related to a non-compete can consume their entire life for years while everyone working at the corporation has no real skin in the game. They'll go home and night and live their lives. Worst case they have to work late. It's not comparable at all.

It's better for a corporation to be wronged by an individual, than for an individual to be wronged by a corporation. So the law should err on the side of the individual.

To answer your question directly: frankly I don't see why not. Why can't the clients choose to change vendors? Is it not a free market? Are clients really going to change vendors just to still have the same sales rep?
It went through a lot of iterations after that, but I promise you I haven't been counterfeiting t-shirts.
"Obscenity" isn't protected by the first amendment (where obscene means, approximately, offensive on a fundamental moral level and without any redeeming artistic qualities). However, what counts as obscene is notoriously fuzzy -- the Supreme Court made up the Miller test[1], which roughly boils down to "would an average person think it's obscene?".

In practice, as this applies to pornography, it's not treated as obscene in most cases, as pornography is very popular and widely consumed, so obviously the average person isn't offended by it.

(I say "most cases", because this is what leaves open the door to banning specific pornography. E.g. child porn, snuff porn, etc. Things that are shocking to the average person.)

What does it matter how much he has left?

There are somewhat diminishing returns spending money on philanthropic causes: if he were to spend 30 rather than 3 billion the result wouldn't be ten times better. I'm happy he's trying to make the world a better place while still keeping an eye on the money being used efficiently.

Why does the 100k matter if the 3 billion don't?
> Writing is to a large extent the process of expressing a thought or feeling.

Agree.

> Clarifying exactly what one wants to say is a central part of writing and editing.

In professional/technical writing, sure? Authors have been known to have different writing styles, and the style may be ambiguous or convoluted to intensify the thoughts or feelings the writer is trying to convey.

Your reply is nonsense much more than the one you're replying to. Voluntarily entering a contract with bad terms has a lot less in common with feudalism than heavy handed government does. It's fine that you prefer the authoritarian government, but it doesn't change what feudalism was.
Associations Between Procrastination and Subsequent Health Outcomes
No. Well at least in capitalism, that is a big no. There are no barriers to entry or exit the market in "real" capitalism (which no one has or has seen). This includes non-competes as it does any other barriers which distort the market.

But none of that matters when most people still don't understand profit vs economic profit.
> South Korea’s antitrust regulator said it would impose a 2.85 billion won ($2.2 million) fine on Tesla for failing to tell its customers about the shorter driving range of its electric vehicles in low temperatures.

As a Tesla owner: range and ambient air temperature are significantly correlated (i.e., your 300 miles of range plummets to ~120 when below freezing).

But, on a good, sunny, warm day, their range claims are correct.
It’s not statistics that will convince people it’s convenience. I just mentioned statistics because if the tech were convenient but actually killed people at 10X the rate of human driving, it could end up banned or something
I'd distinguish features vs benefits. Highlight the benefits first = what do I get by using your tool (e.g. save time by...). Then the features later, how does it works (e.g. 1 click sync...).

Social proof if you have it great, if you don't just skip it and add it later.
Two years after DALL-E debut, its inventor is “surprised” by impact
My understanding is that this arrangement is common in finance. However the worker is not given benefits or bonuses during this time. Since private health insurance is massively expensive and bonus comp can be a significant fraction of one's pay in the field, it can still be onerous.

It increases costs for criminals, they just never stop them outright.
Better yet, do they extend this thinking to:

drugs, guns, voting, strip clubs, gambling websites, buying alcohol, buying cigarettes, renting a car, or even buying porn mags?

Why is internet porn the only exception?

It's obviously harmful: we don't let kids go to strip clubs or invite them to view irl orgies for this reason. They can't even buy physical porn or view porn in stores without age verification. What about it being digital makes it ok?
> "there's this movie I heard about and I want to watch,"

This is why I don't subscribe to any of the streaming services, they all utterly fail at having the movies I want to watch when I want to watch them. These services are mostly for people who want to watch something and don't particularly care what it is. TV as background noise. I expunged that sloppy style of TV watching from my life and I'm never going back to it. The only time I watch something is when I want to watch that thing specifically before I even sat down. And the odds of the streaming services I might have subscribed to having that thing is basically zero.
My (limited) experience with optometrists is that they're a total scam. Went to one, looked in the machine, paid a lot of money for glasses. The glasses immediately gave me headaches. Never wore them again and my eyesight is still 20/10 (somehow one eye is significantly better than the other, but apparently that's not uncommon).

Do you perceive your eyesight to be better?

I honestly think that your own experiments and experience are worth their weight in gold here. Keep on experimenting and don't listen to people reading from textbooks.
Good, well written article. Very insightful.
I didn't know that, and I appreciate SQLite much more now.

I love open source, but I am a huge proponent of strong leadership and vision as the best model to create outstanding software. You need a BDFL, a Torvalds saying "no," a Jobs saying "this is what I want and I will not compromise." Too many open sources project adopt the anything goes model and remain mediocre. The Linux desktop is the most visible example of this.

Sadly 99% of open source projects tend to suffer from this problem, and add features just because someone took the time to write a PR. This is the only reason, IMO, why open source software is often a second rate alternative to commercial offerings: if the source is closed, it is harder for a product's vision to get diluted and lost over time. SQLite shows it is possible to create incredible open source software true to its original vision.
They do in all but name. One day a polymer80 frame in a box with a jig is a gun. Another day it is not. The only difference is a letter from an ATF agent.

Lawmakers make laws intentionally vague to hide their nefarious motives, and then let the courts "determine" the agencies can "clarify." Then the lawmakers point their fingers at the evil agencies while secretly laughing it was all in their plan to offload blame for what they planned all along.
Denuvo is awful. Anno 1800 uses it, I can't tell you the number of times I've had to fiddle with my computer because it doesn't want to connect to it's server and says I can't play the game.

If the pirated version wasn't so buggy I'd use that, even though I've paid for the game.
Any car behaving differently to a human driver is outright dangerous.

For example, motorcyclists depend on inferring behaviour more than the average driver. Someone swerving towards an exit is far more reliable an indicator of them taking it than a signal - many drivers don't bother using them.

Many bikers I know avoid Teslas like the plague, as they're deeply difficult to read at best, and lethal at worst.
It sounds like it's only morally correct to use parts from those US companies in drones killing civilians in Afghanistan, Syria, etc.

According to a quick search of BLS data, single men outspent single women on food and cars, and comparable amounts on entertainment. Women spent more than men on clothing, but men outspent women overall.

Who's sexually harassing anyone here? You go on pornhub to look at porn, nobody ends up at pornhup by mistake. To say pornhub is harassing is like dropping yourself into a volcano and being mad that its hot.

For something to be harassment it has to be unwanted.

Wear leveling prevents anyone from writing to specific blocks. It decouples the OS's block numbering from the physical blocks. That indirection allows it to distribute writes evenly across the drive even if the OS is writing to consecutive blocks (or the same block).

This behavior is fundamental; it's what wear leveling is and why it exists. Wear leveling exists to prevent you from writing to the same block repeatedly, which is exactly what you're trying to do with shred.

I'm not sure what other source you're looking for, but I hope you find it. Perhaps, at least, the number of people "on StackExchange, ServerFault and Reddit" and now also HackerNews telling you the same thing is sufficient evidence to stop spreading the idea that shred might work on SSDs. Do what you want on your own systems, of course, but this is dangerously misleading guidance to be offering on an open forum.
yeah, and then there is a "little" asset like Superchargers network which makes Tesla ownership, at least in US, much more attractive.

Edit. I'm not implying that Tesla is fairly priced, underpriced or overpriced. But this whole situation reminds me a time when I invested in Tesla IPO after reading lots of "Don't DO IT!" articles in media.
> when some specialists (e.g. hardware folks) are changing jobs, then the firm is likely to lose an "edge" as competitors will have access to similar technology/knowledge.

So without the employee the firm can't compete? If that's really true, then that employee should be able to extract as much blood as they want. They are literally the keystone of the business.

The good news is that the FTC rule would allow the firm to enforce a non-compete by giving the employee a 25% equity stake. That seems like a fair trade in exchange for with-holding such incredibly valuable specialized knowledge from the market.
The AM5 motherboards are currently pricey, but overall if you don't buy bleeding edge, it's not unreasonable (in my opinion).

My last build: MSI MAG X570 $200, Ryzen 9 5900X $400, G.Skill 2x16GB DDR4 3600Mhz CL16 $165, Samsung 980 Pro 1TB $150 = $915

That's not a budget build by any means, but it's also not crazy when compared to previous builds in that tier over the past 15 years.
Garden leave isn't a panacea. For example, in Massachusetts, there's a relatively recent requirement that employers have to pay at least half of an ex-employee's salary for up to a 12 month non-compete coverage.

Better than nothing I guess. And it does put some skin in the game for the employer.

But while that might look like a good deal for some people who are in a position to just travel, start a project of some sort, etc. it isn't for everyone. Someone with a mortgage, kids in college, or other financial obligations might not think that dropping to half their base pay--to say nothing of just taking a year off mid-career--is so great.

And, depending upon how specialized they are, there may not be a role open to them which is a good match with their experience and skills.
> if you sell a business, you can't set up shop the next street over and contact all your former customers

The article as about non-compete for workers. Non-competes for M&As are not mentioned.
Final assembly, fit and finish aren't really the key part of what they're doing, though. There's no reason they can't outsource that too.

Thanks for your reply. What about "Leaks IDentification"? We wanted to convey exactly this meaning (data breaches/leaks identification).
It appears so far that the good UI/UX Tesla offers is something other makers could replicate, but stubbornly refuse to.

Still... that doesn't mean the stock is infinitely valuable. Presumably the market will shake out and TSLA will end up with a valuation kinda high for a car company, but not in tech-company range.
I like the term "industrial LEGO"
> It's not in anyone else's interest.

So? Acting in self-interest isn't irrational.

Similarly, posturing over the Hormuz strait is a rational act; they don't need to go after the US Navy when commercial shipping would suffice.
HBO max makes me mad. A bunch of good old movies had their rights purchased so if I want to watch the Thin Man, a movie from the 30s, I need to get HBO max. No thank you.
It is a good point. We like our forgeries to be as old as they are supposed to be. Then again, sometimes they do report factual details, or accurately tell us what somebody at the time wanted believed.

Best scholarship today says there was no person who walked around Judea telling the parables related in the gospels. It all seems to have been made up two generations after the cult started.

Congregations demanded a person to have told the parables, and a narrative about where and when they were told. "Mark" is that narrative, with the other three gospels cribbed from it adding doctrinal "corrections" favored in different places. ("Mark" etc. names were pasted on centuries later; nobody knows who wrote them.)

The only otherwise-plausible bits of evidence of such a person, in Josephus, are transparent later insertions. Pliny and Tacitus, often cited, only repeat what they had been told Christians believed.

Third-century Church authorities were thorough in destroying all documents they controlled but what they chose to put in the Bible. In later centuries they fabricated industriously. So almost everything claimed to be contemporaneous is transparent fakery, Paul excepted. Pauline material is cut'n'pasted freely, and often doctored, sometimes even accidentally.

See Richard Carrier, "Why Invent the Jesus?".
I agree, I'm not sure that you could prove it.

I think there's also some intersection between cost and ease to pirate as well. Having not really pirated anything for many years, I was shocked when a friend showed me how easy it was with their Plex setup to just grab whatever TV show they wanted. The only anecdotal evidence that I have is that another friend who was with me saw the Plex setup, and within a week had cancelled several subscriptions and switched to Plex.
Basically agree, but what we're increasingly facing in the US is growing barriers to entry to compete with behemoths in the form of an increasingly complex tax and regulatory structure which just isn't compatible with free market principles still applying to how those behemoths treat employees.

In short, we have quasi state-sanctioned hegemons that have undue negotiating power.

There are two solutions: nerf the barriers or buff the workers through more targeted regulation. There's no single regulatory body that can do the former, so the only option left is the latter.
When I was in college, the car was being advertised as 100 MPG. The car looks virtually the same, if you can get 100MPG you can probably get insane ranges without huge batteries.

It's basically a motorcycle on three wheels, those things have great milage.
Because the explosive rise and sudden collapse of the company's valuation are interesting in and of themselves as a market story.

The valuation of the most valuable car company in the world has fallen 70% in the past year. Tesla has shed more in market cap in the past year than the GDP of most countries. How is that not remarkable?

It's emblematic of the collective insanity of tech investors in the past couple of years - that's the interesting story, and that's where the criticism lies. Tech investors have made comically bad, bad bets industry-wide in recent years, and Tesla has been one of the biggest.

It's not overly critical to think Tesla's valuation has been insane and unjustifiable, or that it's "just a car company". At least saying it's "just a car company" is admitting that there's some fundamentally valuable business behind it, unlike some other money-pit companies out there.
You can't get funding for studies that disagree with existing research.

I'm not the OP. I actually like the initiative system.

I'm saying that water issues in other states is a result of California's preferential rights. Which explains why "this hasn't happened in CA". If you fully read the article I linked you'd see that water restrictions have indeed happened at various times over the years in California.

Part of the reason California hasn't "run out of water" like Jackson Mississippi are these water use restrictions imposed during droughts: https://www.gov.ca.gov/2022/05/24/california-adopts-more-agg...

And I'll point out that the person you originally responded to wrote "Unsustainable water use for water intensive crops in a state that is mostly desert". You goal-post moved this true statement (plus or minus the "mostly desert") to a comparison to other states which also have water problems, one of which had a city actually run out of water.
It's more than "custom." Since we have judicial review, courts can strike down an unconstitutional taking of property. It goes back to WWKGD? ("What would King George do?") ...and doing the opposite. So we have constitutional protections against seizing private property, but arbitrary terms, except they must be limited terms, for grants of monopoly.

Not perfectly observed of course. The Mouse always stretches the definition of "limited term." But the intent is there for anyone to see.
Those are not comparable, primarily because of privacy. People don't care that you know that they voted or had a drink. And in those cases, they don't record who you voted for, what porn mag you bought, etc.
> California has infrastructure. They simply lack water. This cannot be fixed by upgrading.

Yes, it can. Look at a map of California. Look west. Plenty of opportunity to use infrastructure spending to increase fresh water supply through desalination. (Which, in fact, California is doing.)
What is the other choice?
'send severance letters' ah yes today's narrative about another lawsuit that will go nowhere and everyone will forget in a week for the next unsubstantiated talking point.
I had not recalled that was Liskov's work. I do have a vague recollection of basically the same thing coming out of Microsoft Research in the late 90's, but I can't recall if that was a paper or a patent application.

Promise chaining is handy but unless the response to the first query is a naked value like an ID or a user name then you need logic to extract the 2nd question from the 1st answer, which is going to require running logic on the server and while not DDOSing yourself. There's a lot of relatively cool stuff that was done in the 80's and 90's that had not really absorbed the import of the Morris Worm.
Interestingly, the FTC rule does not include an exception for garden pay.
> Citations needed.

What citations are needed? This is obviously materially different than you finding some vhs that you can only watch at specific times when your parents aren't home. Children have unlimited access to every single type of pornography and can watch it whenever they are left alone in their room with a computer or phone.

edit: "Citations needed" is an extremely lazy way to respond to an argument that is extremely counterproductive and almost every time it's used it's done in bad faith to derail the conversation.
