> Former (US) tax lawyer here. You can give up to the maximum allowable gift amount each year, to each of your parents.

Not a tax lawyer, ever, but I know the part that is missing in this statement: “without incurring any immediate or future tax liability [0] or immediate reporting requirement.” If you exceed the per-donor per-recipient limit, you have to file a gift tax return, and the gift counts against your lifetime exemption limit (currently $12.92 million, but also indexed annually by inflation.) If your total lifetime reportable gifts ever exceed that, you’ll have to pay gift tax on the reportable gifts over the limit, and if yiur estate exceeds whatever is left ofnyour exemption when you die, your estate will pay estate tax.

[0] barring a future but retrospective change to tax law, which is theoretically possible but impossible to plan around.
I still have my original Clip+. The OLED display is showing it's age with dimmed pixels but it is still a great -stealth- recording device. It is also still my go to music player for long flights.

Sure, they're a few centimeters to the right of the evidence of consciousness, just below the evidence of the Pythagorean theorem.

This sounds glib but isn't. What counts as 'evidence' and how much of it is needed for 'proof' are themselves hotly debated. Empiricism is no more a given than morality.

Look, that's the important part, right? If I wanted to learn the material, I could. But I'm not really interested in learning the material right now, or following the arguments exactly. It's a great article when you're in that mindset.

Quanta, I don't have to be ready to learn the material. I can get a little awareness of what's going on, I don't have to follow specific arguments over a series of paragraphs -- it's news, not lecture. Sometimes that's what I need, to keep aware of what's going on without having to learn it straight up.

I'm a fan of channels like Mathologer and 3B1B, so I'm no stranger to sitting down and following a lovely argument all the way through. I just object to the idea that Quanta is serving the same need as this article and doing a worse job. I just think it's serving a different need altogether.
One of the worst book to series adaptations ever created. There was no sensible reason for the drastic changes in plot and characters they have done. Wish they would cancel and retry it with some other creative team.
What does your question have to do with this conversation?
Heh, a 741 op-amp was my very first guitar amp. I used that while I saved up to get a real amp. I had some janky circuit I made up using a 9v battery, a few resistors and a little speaker and some scant knowledge from my EE 214 class. Got some sick distortion out of that thing. But I think my circuit drew too much current because the op-amps would only last a week or two before burning out (and ran quite hot), but they were cheap to replace. Details are a bit sketchy because this would have been in 1991.
I assumed there are multiple points being made by this, and implies things about different definitions of wealth.

But maybe my brain just rushed to defend poor logic.
Secure Boot is designed to help with malware compromising boot code that runs before the OS gets to run and thus has the ability to hide itself from OS and everything running on it while also able to intercept everything an OS is doing.

Given that often physical access allows secure boot to be turned off, it’s clearly not made to protect against a physical attacker.

Now, what’s left is a bit of a mixture of a political issue and developer laziness that makes secure boot a binary toggle of on=boots only microsoft-sanctioned OSes and off.

Ideally there was a safe way for a user to get their own boot loader and OSes signed to allow them to safely boot their own OS while still being sure that it was the user‘s intention to boot that thing.

Ironically, walled-garden Apple went exactly there with their secure boot implementation on their Apple Silicon macs (source: https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/109679905123512668)
Yes and the point here is: Burger King stopping to ship Whoppers to franchise restaurants without warning would be as unnecessarily cruel as what Twitter has done.

People stopped wanting to work in 2019 BCE, or earlier. What's happening now, is that more people are talking about it again but the actual desire to work is a mutable semi-constant fact of life.

So to be less facetious, why do you think this is really a modern phenomenon? I think its been a thing for a long, long time. Across industrial sectors, and social constructs.

If you really want to leave this in the domain of IT, sure. In recent times, people were more willing to work obscene hours, for illusory vesting options they saw precursor people get, ignoring the long history (or urban myth) of Microsoft early employees who walked around the campus with "Fuck you I'm fully vested" tee shirts. Lets be clear, the current state of pay in FAANG is not what it was. It may not come back. Don't build your hopes on somebody else's prior achievement in work/life balance.

People's sense of values were out of whack. A younger cohort is living through the kind of disruptive cost of living inflation which some of us saw in the 1970s oil shock, and wondering if it's all worth it.

"They shoot horses, don't they" is about the 1935 dance marathon thing. "Death of a Salesman" is from 1949. The 1943 zoot suit riots in LA are written down to racism and youth disaffection but it too has a dimension which plays to "what are we working for, anyway"

Sorry, I know its a bit of a put down to focus on "what, you think this is new?" but really: why do you think this is new?

> If mountains become your life, it won't be long until they become the norm, making you flee back to some urban jungle.

Anecdotally, this is somewhat true for me. My wife and I moved to a rural location last year and every few of months we make a trip to "civilization" (e.g. a major city) to "recharge". Waking up every day surrounded in nature and breathing in the sweet air of a pine forest is great, no doubt. But being able to walk to a pizza shop or bike to a park are something we really miss too.

We're in bit of a pickle though, our daughter will be starting school in a couple of years but the public schools here are not very good. They have some of the lowest scores in the state and the state's scores are some of the lowest in the country...
I'm looking at building a home as a first time home owner in the next few years. One thing I'm wondering is how many headaches can I avoid if I just choose an expensive builder and not try to haggle or save a buck at every turn? I just want a 2-bedroom, 1,000 sq ft bungalow and am willing to pay 60-70% more than the average $/sqft in my city if they do a good job. I'd rather have a nice small place rather than a huge place full of issues and corner cutting. Can I just throw more money at the problem so that I'm less stressed and offload more decisions to the builders?
It’s doesn’t have to be “shining” capitalism to be free market reforms.

It’s pretty clear even “state capitalism” leads to wealth and the elimination of abject poverty.

The type of malware secure boot protects against can be made completely undetectable by the running OS and can be made to persist a full wipe.
Yes, true. They all died because larger and/or better-managed competitors beat them. Tesla's competitors are all several years behind in technology and manufacturing, and many of them have incredible debt burdens that will likely put them into bankruptcy as this downturn progresses.

Tesla with thrive, and only some of their competitors are going to make it through. I hope that's not too controversial (shrug).

I really tried to like it -- but didn't.

It wasn't a problem with the material, but the cast. Lyra and Will were just flat as could be. They both seemed bored, not as if they were involved with a multi-dimensional struggle of good and evil. I think it's just very difficult to find high-quality young actors.

Also, disclosing that this was in our world early in the series was a mistake. That was a huge "wow" moment in the book, not revealed until much later.
This makes me want to dump all my TI-Basic programs from my calculator and put them into source control.
In far too many cases, hard work only gets you --- more hard work.

Here is your 2% raise --- now get back to working hard. Or --- you've been promoted! You get a 10% raise but now you'll be on call 24/7. Congratulations, you winner you!

I tell people I am a corporate America dropout. I came to the conclusion that hard work only made sense if I was working for myself.

"I talked to a bunch of horse tamers and they say cars are just no good. So I bought another horse. I don't see all the hype"

Similar issue in the states. HVAC specialist trash talking mini splits because a mini split's advantage of cheaper maintenance and install is meaningless to the HVAC specialist. Instead they only see the trade offs. Then they quote a bill as if installing a mini split requires a diploma and point out just how uneconomical the farce is.
I've done this twice by hiring a family friend as the builder once, and hiring a one-man builder another time, both times it worked out for me, was mostly headache-free, they both had excellent worksmanship. I built with a big company once and it was a nightmare. There are always headaches though, you need to expect them so you don't go crazy when it inevitably arrives. Good luck! :)

This is not about that. I downvoted you directly even though I prefer Haskell. Your comment was dismissive, without any consideration about upsides versus downsides, nor leading to any thoughtful discussion. It came of as pure emotional gut reaction, “I like this, I don't like this”, even if you might not have meant it. Maybe you thought about it carefully, but that’s not how it came out.
TAB books were virtually all garbage and apparently sold by the pound. I remember the (one of?) 6809 books had typos/mistakes in many of the source listings and schematics that even a novice could tell had issues. I had a friend spend a high school semester trying to get a Z80 thing running from a TAB book and finally had an electrical engineer friend of his dad look at the book and say "whoever wrote this doesn't know much about electronics...they apparently think TTL is the same as Legos".

But on the up side...they were hardback and you got a pile of them for dirt.
LinkedIn, too. I get a bunch of recruiter spam addressed to my old LinkedIn email that was probably compromised in the big hack/scraping incident from a few years back. Good way to flag the sketchiest recruiters.
It's been taught to believe this. It’s a lie.
Can you explain to me what principles the Mercedes system operates on? And why does it have to be geofenced? An advanced system can learn and operate anywhere.
In some cases, traditional units remain in use because they are more convenient than metric. This is a world-wide phenomenon, not just US/UK. In Japan, people still size farm fields in -tsubo and rooms in -jō.

Secondly, the world-wide conversion to metric is less thorough than claimed. In less developed countries, daily practice less often conforms to official documentation.
I've always been annoyed my entire life by the use of "woof" because I thought people were, for some reason, imitating the barking of a dog and it made no sense to me because I've never heard anyone in person do this, ever. 3+ decades later I now realize it's just a way of spelling any of the above.

Yeah I think a language is safe or unsafe according to the ecosystem they live in. A project a developer works on is hardly 100% self-developed and depends on library and third party code, so I understand you have experiments you need to enable, but once it starts spreading in libraries, I think the whole safety guarantee just goes out of the window?

As a rust student myself, even the unsafe{} block is stupid
Neat to see this pop up: I'm Alice, one of the maintainers mentioned.

I ended up pushing pretty hard for this change (or something like it), and at least so far, I'm feeling optimistic about the result. This was fairly organic: it was becoming clear that there were experts in each area that we should be consulting before merging complex work there. So we formalized it.

The split between "generally competent, well-organized" and "deep expertise" is a nice one, and I'd love to see more orgs experiment with that.
No that won't do anything for the Internet at large
Feeling pain is not a necessary component for thought.
This is one of the areas that ML robotics companies should look into. Prefabs for whatever reason do not seem to work for the American market. Enough is enough, time to start throwing ML robotics models at zoning and building code regulations, instead of those silly game environments that DeepMind use for their RL demos. Replace those overpriced and incompetent tradespeople and builders. They do not have enough real competition and the work quality suffer. Since importing labor from mexico is politically unpopular, use robotics instead. It plays well with both sides of the aisle. Time for the blue collar workforce to experience disruption.
It wasn't nearly cancelled. Robert Jordan picked sanderson and passed on his notes, ending. He even wrote the last parts of the book. It's planned as well as it could be.
Hey just a heads up, it's probably people flagging rather than spam filters. What you're experiencing may be legitimate, I'm certainly not informed enough to say it's not, but it definitely comes across as unusual / off-topic and might make people uncomfortable.

There is no doubt tons of abhorrent behavior by police departments across the country and untold amounts of government corruption, no disagreement there.

I'd encourage you to seek medical care if you're in physical pain - whether it's DNA damage or something that just feels the same, it's probably best to have it treated quickly. Many forms of cancer are most effectively treated in their earliest stages.

Best of luck to you.
I was stuck in a loop of: wake up -> gym -> work -> pub(Wednesday and Fridays, sometimes Monday) -> TV with SO -> gaming, pretty much every week day. On weekends I'd either game all day or go surfing. I'd go on a ski holiday once a year and two other one week holidays with my SO.

That was my life for years. Then I changed _everything_. Quit job, broke up with my girlfriend, sold my flat and most of my possessions, different job, became a "digital nomad".

Now I'm "happy". I found a job that doesn't have all the things I hate about working. I can do sports I enjoy much more frequently, I'm not stuck in a loop where everyday is the same.

I guess I agree that _one_ thing most likely won't be the key to happiness. I think the key is figuring out what makes you happy(I think a lot of people don't know) and what makes you unhappy(this is usually easier to identify). Then doing more of the things that make you happy and less of the things that make you unhappy.

I'm not sure if that's what "happiness starts from within" means, but that's what worked for me.

Edit: I guess being happy also depends on the definition of the word. Depending on the definition, maybe I'm not happy.
No. That’s still a lottery and you are basically saying I’m paying more, so I expect a better service. This does not guarantee results. At all.

What you want is a third party.

Someone who understands the trade and the codes and will check in on the building site daily and will make sure everything is being done correctly. And if it’s not, will stop work and put everyone in their place.

I frankly have no idea what the term for that is in America, but we call them freelance foremen where I’m from. Current going rate per month is roughly 1.5x minimum wage in my country.

May sound like a lot of money for someone just doing checking, but that’s only until you find out how expensive lack of oversight can be.

Ask around, many building companies offer these services, so company a builds the house, and an inspector from unrelated company b does the daily inspection. But ideally you’d find a one man band man, who’s really gonna be on your side.
You have confirmed the first reason.

"Such efforts require years of design, permitting and fundraising and are not easy to build.'

In other words, the state isn't sitting on the cash.

https://www.kunc.org/environment/2022-03-10/what-does-it-tak... shows that a reservoir in Colorado took two decades to get permitted. The projects in California are moving at light speed in comparison.

"As much clamor as there has been for more storage, however, water experts warn that it may not be the panacea that advocates profess, specifically reservoirs. Constructing reservoirs is expensive, meaning the water they sell may be cost-prohibitive for some, while the increase in water supply is likely to be small and not worth the money given California’s increasing aridity.

"With the warming climate, the state is not only seeing more intense droughts, alongside more intense storms, but more of the precipitation is falling as rain instead of snow. Snow has historically provided a second wind for reservoirs, melting after the wet winter season and giving the lakes an additional hit of water."

"'What you want is reliable supply and this (type of storage) is not very reliable. You don’t know when you’re going to fill it.'"

In other words, the problem facing California is drought depleting snowpacks and groundwater, not "more water storage" in reservoirs.

The world's scientists are in agreement that you're wrong about climate change and doubling down like Pope Urban VIII is just silly and especially sad when you cite an article that disagree with you.
