Those are pretty damning statistics to be honest.

Just so I know I am understanding you correctly you believe that more that 1.5% of the cases did have merit and if those cases would have been handled outside of the whistleblower legislation they probably would have been more successful?

Based on the statistics you provided that seems like a reasonable assumption. Do you happen to have any stats on the percentage of successful cases using more conventional proceedings. I feel like its probably a pretty hard metric to track.
Exactly. Evading sanctions saves innocent lives.

> Possible? Yes. Desirable? Absolutely not.

Then let's bring back public executions and cruel punishment. You know what else isn't desirable? Tolerating CSAM.

> Says who?

Alright, then secrecy of the warrant fails public audit checks.

> Those checks are already woefully inadequate. There are plenty of examples of abuse of authority/access that just happened to be caught and went on for years. Somehow you claim this is going to stop happening if we give governments MORE surveillance authority?

They already have authority just not the technical ability. You should use legal and political avenues to address a naughty government. Tolerating CSAM because you refuse to accept political realities or convince your ow citizens on the matter is a terrible thing. I don't what you are referring to regarding inadequate checks, I am proposing a system similar to CT logs for PKI except new encryption can't happen without public audit log of LEO authorizarion to intercept traffic.

> At least you admit that eradication of the internet is your end goal.

If the choice is between tolerating CSAM and eradicating the internet, the choice is easy for me, why isn't it for you? Fortunately, as you obviously know but chose to ignore for the sake of maligning me, we don't need to eradicate the internet in order to do our best to get rid of CSAM so clearly you knew that wasn't my intention but you misconstructed what I said for the sake of internet rage.

Dumpster diving anyone? Npm always felt that way and PyPI is catching up.
I respect her as a researcher and all but the constant reminder that there are biases in AI is utterly pointless. This is going to go the way of privacy - companies simply do not give a shit. They will pay lip service in some way or another for a little while, but growth and desperation if revenues fall will result in completely dropping any feigned morality and they will attempt anything to survive.

Never seen a pick-up in New York or San Francisco. They're everywhere in Wyoming. No, you don't need it around town. But if you're hauling a snowmobile or going off road, even only a few times a year, the trade-off can be worth it.

The seamanship book was a reference for a lot of this.
Sprinkled with a coating of "body positivity" perhaps?

I use quotes, because I personally only believe in body positivity for matters that are beyond control - eg disfigurements related to genetics or trauma. No-one should shame anyone - or feel shame - for things they have no say on.

Matters within scope of control should be addressed, however. At the very least not lied about and promoted as healthy, more importantly.
The title (“Crypto Is Money Without a Purpose”) of the opinion seems somewhat disconnected from its contents.

The opinion is on crypto trading. And I agree with a lot of what he is saying.

But that does not make crypto money without a purpose.

Look no further than to what “Satoshi Nakamoto” wrote in the the first sentence of the abstract of the original white paper [1] about Bitcoin:

> A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.

That is the purpose for which Bitcoin was made.

Then a whole bunch of people started looking at what else we could use blockchain technology for.

Some came up with things like platforms for smart contracts. [2]

Others realised that they could just ride the hype waves to scam people. [3, 4, and many many more]

Some found that it greatly enhanced the ability to perform wide-scale cyber attacks for financial gains.

And some, like the author of the opinion rightly points out, like to use these technologies as a glorified gambling system.

But to state that crypto is money without a purpose like the title says, is nothing short of wrong, imo.

Unless the truck is fast enough to spontaneously trigger nuclear reactions.

Or fast enough to have a nontrivial mass from pure kinetic energy (though I think the nuclear reactions would start happening well before then).
The FTC was created in the same way as other agencies, with a bill that passed _both_ houses of Congress and was signed by the president.
Democracy isn't about having more parties, it's about having a government that represents the working majority. China has settled on a political path which is communism, this is why there are communist parties in China, while in US you have capitalist parties https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_C...

Evidently, you weren't even aware of the fact that there are multiple parties in the country.

Meanwhile, absolutely hilarious of you to talk about gulags when US runs concentration camps for kids on its border https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/us-detention-child-migrants
Regulating anticompetitive business practices falls explicitly within the charter of the FTC which is empowered by Congress so you basically got what you wanted.

Without a broad ruling that says that Congress isn’t allowed to establish agencies and delegate their power, which might happen with this court, this is pretty much the process.
I'm not sure I would caution against AsciiDoc, but I stopped using it personally due to lack of support, and Markdown (of various flavors) being good enough for the use cases I cared about at the time.

There isn't much tooling. The community is small. The spec effort seems to have stagnated. AsciiDoctor and related projects seem to move at the speed of what Dan Allen decides is most worth his time.

That said, I've been wanting to do more long form writing, and AsciiDoc is lovely for that, so I may pick it up again for that.
Europeans thought it could be avoided because they still had naive beliefs about the nature and motivations of the US security state. The invasion was quite predictable. So predictable that the RAND Corp recommended virtually all of the steps that the US took in order to facilitate the invasion.

I agree that cream, sugar, milk, ice, chocolate, caramel, and other additives disguises the flavor of coffee; I think that's pretty hard to dispute. That's what a lot of people want — usually people in front of me in line at the coffee shop.

I don't agree that light roasts are the only way to taste the real flavor of coffee. Both the bean and the roast are components of the flavor, and the lighter roasts just push the slider more toward the side of tasting the bean, at the expense of the roast. Often, for my taste, the result is too acidic and sour, and often really inconsistent.

The reason to roast coffee to different levels is because it brings out different flavors at every level. The right level of roasting will depend on the person, and certainly on the bean: there is no One True Way that results in "the flavor of coffee". That's why some roasters are better than others, and why roasting machines don't just have one big button that says "light roast".
I think that person was being very reductive when they said "making things up", the person they replied to was extrapolating a lot of things based on a faulty understanding of the crypto space, hacking groups and Russia.

Many people are not open to the concept of a working and legitimate aspect of the crypto world. Or "legitimate"/"use case" is something that people will play devil's advocate on forever ad nauseam, as opposed to learning or understanding why people are willing to keep building there (somebody will ask, name one legitimate thing, and then argue about why all the replies are not legitimate as opposed to how individuals are and could address various problems). So people get tired of talking to those kind of people.

In an apples to apples study it showed similar effects to canagliflozin which works through an entirely different pathway. So it's probably not related to GLP-1 but to the speed and effectiveness of weightloss which will most likely be faster than a typical diet.

I have 3 kids. The minivan and SUV are by far the best options for my family. And i would make the same argument for 2 kids.

When I had to commute more and the kids were little, I had a super efficient car. Now I have the SUV, and the delta is probably 100 gallons of gas annually.

Personally, I’d rather have a station wagon, but they don’t make them anymore. My next car in a few years will be an electric non-Tesla minivan/crossover vehicle.
Higher competition doesn't translate to higher GDP. In fact, monopolies produce more profits at the expense of consumers. If enough of your consumers are international, the national GDP would rise. If you are talking about competition for workers would increase costs and therefore prices would go up - that's inflation and should be discounted for in real GDP. If this is a meta argument that higher competition drives innovation which drives real GDP growth, then maybe.
Isn't any organization that has been around for a long time and hasn't sufficiently updated its moral positions considered to be such?

On a day to day basis it usually isn't a lot of excess calories eaten either, but over a year or 10 those small discrepencies can add up.
The entire point of literacy tests was to prevent POC from voting. They were explicitly designed to be virtually impossible to complete successfully, and white people were exempted from them via "grandfather" clauses: if your grandfather was allowed to vote, so were you.

Driving tests are completely different. Right now some states basically give licenses away at age 14 for a dollar and a handshake. If you're going to let someone operate a 26.000 pound vehicle in public, shouldn't they at the very least demonstrate that they a) understand the traffic laws, and b) are able to operate the vehicle safely?

If you move to a European country, you'll be required to re-take your driver's test, and it isn't without reason. They simply don't trust the USA to do it properly and that's not entirely unfounded.
It already does end the inflammation in mice, it could end it in humans.
Also from the article:
> Though a certain amount of lean loss is inevitable with significant weight reduction (usually about 25% of total weight loss)

The justification is provided: this is nearly double the lean body mass loss usually seen in drastic weight loss. Yes, 0% is impossible, but this is worryingly high. It might be OK in younger individuals who have a ton of fat mass to lose, and they might gain any lean body mass back. But in older individuals that are already having a hard time exercising, it's unlikely that lean body mass will ever come back.

Makes me think these drugs should probably be a measure of last resort. Unless more studies defuse this.
Counter argument here is that being encased in hot liquid magma and rotating for a long time might force it to be a perfect spheroid?
Turned my ad blocker off to try it and, sadly no NSFW ads for me. Some ads for cool looking redwood gazebos and patio roofs, and boomer-themed t-shirts. I'm disappointed my profile is so boring.
This is an area where calories is scary misleading. The 30 minutes walking is indeed low in the direct impact. For some reason, it punches well above expectations, though. Probably something about base metabolism and such, but whatever it is, you will lose more weight from walking than you'd expect.

Similarly, people probably walk way way less than you would expect. It is kind of scary to see how few steps I can get on a standard day.
The term perhaps, the concept is much older. I remember 'Welt am Draht', but doubt that was first either.
Beautiful work. Even more impressive is the fact that it looks like you didn't spend much time in the UK and you have some classic British boxes. Glad to see you did the "calculator" keyboard on the PET rather than the later more conventional keyboard. Would like suggest the ZX-80 and the Research Machines 380X. Some of the early Sun, Interlisp, Xerox, and SGI machines would be fun if you wanted to venture in an adjacent direction, as would a scale PDP-11. Very well done!
And if you change jobs and start working with a totally different tech stack you get to set it up all over again!

I've re-built my neovim config like 3 times this year as I have played with several 'distributions' and styles. SpaceVim, LunarVim, AstroVim, and NVChad to name a few.

There is a starter repo where you clone it, delete the .git directory and start customizing.

It's very much a thing. The question is whether Google in preparation for an upcoming court action decided to start throwing records away. People don't get away with that before a divorce, before selling a company, or in any other situation.
Which is the default minimum in most of Europe. Some places have even higher ethanol mixes.

Even 90% ethanol is fine for any injection petrol engine. You just need to mix it with something that burns with a visible flame and some detergents.
Wow really?

Any more info you could provide? Origin, process method(washed, natural, anaerobic, etc) roaster, profile, brewing method, etc. ?

All the coffee types I’ve dealt with start degrading heavily starting at ~14 days from roast date.
Because as you say, it provides original or modified code but doesn't provide provenance or license information. It's copyright laundering. After decades of fighting the community in the courts over shit like this, Microsoft just turns around and says well, it's okay when we do it? Foh.
You are welcome to that opinion, but the viewpoint you're describing is not one that is the prevailing legal precedent.

The FTC was created by Congress through the Federal Trade Commission Act, and it is explicitly empowered to regulate anything that would harm free competition, including passing rules like this one.

Congress is also free to decide that this sort of thing is an overreach and to further regulate the agency or narrow its scope, of course.
Are there any studies showing a significant reduction in population body mass (our primary endpoint) following sugar taxes?
I'm with the others here. Noncompetes are just bad. Nondisclosures should cover you for any knowledge unique to your business.

General skill improvement, though? Not so much. Noncompetes don't really address that anyway. It's not like the employee will have forgotten what they've learned by the end of the noncompete, and it's not like the noncompete compensates you. It's just a bit spiteful.

Also, every employer benefits from what their employees have learned at the companies prior anyway. Presumably, that's part of why experienced people command higher salaries. So in that view, it's a bit of a wash.
> In other words, you're offering a solution for the Japanese landmass, not the Japanese people.

Actually no, because these immigrants are not going to replace the entire Japanese population in one click, rather they will keep the country running and prevent the economic system from crashing in front of new Japanese kids.

Basically supplement the needed kids to reach/exceed the replacement rate.

I doubt that's going to be the majority of kids in the case of Japan.

Inflation is caused by the central bank failing to hit its inflation target.
All sides? Including left? Examples?
If you’re a business requiring a non-compete you should be required to provide compensation the period of non compete that is the maximum of the employees current total compensation package or any job offers they receive, at the end of the period if they can demonstrate that they missed out on other gains (say a startup IPOs or whatever) you should then also be required to cover that as well. Any delays in compensation should be charged interest at the median credit card interest charge.

That will separate “legitimate” non competes from bs wage reduction contracts.
It's an area of active development! I'm hopeful the situation will improve significantly this year.

For tracing suspended Futures, I've worked on a few approaches:

1. If you don't mind annotating your async functions, you can use the async-backtrace crate, which provides pretty-printing out-of-the-box: https://crates.io/crates/async-backtrace

2. If you are already using the `tracing` ecosystem, you can use the tracing-causality crate (it doesn't yet include pretty-printing, but it's not too hard to add that on): https://crates.io/crates/tracing-causality

3. If you are only supporting Linux (and maybe MacOS) and you aren't stripping away debuginfo from your binaries, you can build atop the deflect crate (https://jack.wrenn.fyi/blog/deflect/). If your `Future` purely consists of `async` blocks, Tyler Mandry's reflection based approach works well: https://github.com/tmandry/rust-dbg-ext/tree/async-backtrace...

For analyzing stack traces of active futures, I'm not aware of any good ways to reliably filter out irrelevant frames (e.g., frames from the runtime).
Great quotes.

Privacy for google, other corporations and the government is a one way street. You give it to them. There is no reciprocity. That's it. And that's how it's staying. The end.

This is how tyrants are able to talk the talk (but not the walk) and bark out moral high ground orders to those they rule, while doing whatever degenerate acts they like behind closed doors. That's what power is and does.
I'm not sure the salary matters much in practice here. What we should avoid are scenarios that force folks out of their livelihood when they're subject to a non-compete through lawsuit or threat of one.

I'd love to see them go the way of the Dodo, but failing that I'd at least like for some hard requirements on what forms non-competes may take so that they could be more equitable for employees:

1. Require non-competes compensate the employee for the salary they've been denied when enforced. If someone with key knowledge is a big enough issue to sue over and an organization hasn't done the work to retain said employee, the employee shouldn't have to bear the burden of extended unemployment for valuable skills or knowledge they may have.

2. Require non-competes have maximum durations. A non-compete for more than 6 - 12 months is likely excessive and can used to discourage job mobility.

3. Require non-competes be scoped to knowlege, know-how, or skills specific to that employee. Many non-competes I've seen say something along the lines of "you can't work for a competitor" without elaboration. If you work at a large organization or one with subsidiaries in multiple industries, "competitor" becomes a large swathe of potential industries you could feasibly work at. This also prevents one from working at a similar company in a completely different role.

I get the desire to discourage job hopping, but that is rarely what these agreements are used to do in effect and there are better ways to take legal action in cases where proprietary info or know-how is stolen.
3D-printed would be fine, except those are just statues. Aside from mounting points and IO holes for the Pi, models for an actual enclosure would need to be subtly adjusted so the holes for the keyboard and screen match up with available off the shelf components to add in.
No. My obligations to the employer end at the termination of my employment and whenever through the course of the day I'm not working for them.

How I choose to spend that time is none of their business so long as I don't do anything that can be construed in a way that implies I represent them.

For example, if I say, to be silly, work at hotdog on a stick and do adult dancing with the company provided uniform, that would probably cross the line. If they then fire me and I continue to do the dancing in uniform, fair game.
> You have a contact you remember who emailed you three years about a thing... you'll never find them again.

Same problem. So, I asked the company IT staff, what is the recommended solution? The answer was "oh, just create a folder on your network drive, and drag-and-drop the .MSG files into there."

This answer was apparently vetted by the same company lawyers that came up with the 2 year retention policy in the first place. I don't have the courage to confirm this, but I really would like to ask them what the point of all this even is.

Well, I've tried it. I've lost tons of weight, but never with exercise. So it's not cope, it's just a matter of science.

> It’s extremely obvious that doing something like running every day (if it leads to a calorie deficit) will make you lose fat.

But what if it doesn't because your body is a self-regulating dynamic system that changes energy partitioning and intake demands based on output?
