I think it’s safe to say people wouldn’t be working for any company if they thought it was evil, so your whole point is moot.
instead of decades of "who uses tools" maybe it would be more modern to consider what cognitive requirements exist for dreaming up using tools, in some more rigorous manner, perhaps mathematical.
> Hate the headline as it downplays the terror and brutality that cartels inflict on the people of Mexico

The word "cartel" is not exclusive to the criminal Mexican organizations.

> I’m sure they had more opportunities in life

But that reasoning applies to academic scholarships too. Every single person smart enough to get into a top school, will have more opportunities throughout life.
> a bit more intensive(like browsing the web with hundreds tabs).

Maybe if you have hundreds of tabs active, but I have literally over 5,000 tabs in Firefox on one of my machines and that's 5 to 10 year old hardware with I think 8GB of RAM.

(Aside: yes, I know I have a problem, but the point is that it works)

That's because the commenters here never heard of uBlock Origin. My firefox with NoScript and uBlock Origin didn't even broke a sweat. Though I did had to enable in NoScript the domain. Also it runs http only (so no secure connection either).

>Is it simulated to the level where you could give it some visual stimulus and observe the actions it is trying to take?

No way.

First, this mapping doesn't tell us how the synapses are regulated - if we could 'run' this the weights would stay fixed forever and that's not how a brain works.

Second, there must be some neurons dedicated to chemical management, and they'd go haywire unless you found a way to deal with them. It's possible the hardware/software is so intertwined it can't be separated. Or maybe it's just complex, regardless the mapping is of limited use here.

Third, you're assuming that the synapses/axons are the only thing that matters. It may well be this is true, but having other processes being involved has not yet been entirely ruled out. If they are, the mapping is incomplete.

Lastly, we don't have the computational ability just yet to simulate even the mapping itself.
This is a cowardly way to disagree
However, their omnipresent surveillance data will show that eight years, seven months, and thirteen days earlier you cut off the DA's third cousin while driving on the freeway, so the DA will conveniently forget to present this alibi as evidence.

You can’t say you favor fascists and then get upset when called out for doing so.
I want to know all of those things, I think everyone should be able to know about who you email and the contents of the emails along with your address and bank balance. I think your bank transaction history might be fun to go through as well, we could make a public website with all of your information on it!

Ooh a fun one could be private messages from social media and your text message history as well.

Of course I assume we can get right on this because you have nothing to hide, right?
1. Cartel is a technical term which the article is using correctly.

2. Renaming the technical term would not do anything to help the victims of drug cartels (in Mexico or otherwise.) That would be textbook slacktivism.

Yeah, I saw this too. I started by choosing three locations in Russia, which put the meeting point somewhere in the middle of Russia. Then I added 10-15 departures in Europe. Realistically, the meeting point should be somewhere in Europe/Eastern Europe at that point, as there is only three departures from Russia. But the meeting point remained in middle/center Russia.
There are laws that regulate guns: acquisition, registration, carrying, etc. Do you know what all those laws have in common in all territories?

1) Criminals give absolutely zero fucks about your any laws, regulations, rules, ordinances or any form of compliance with authorities. Many of them see the law as a challenge, not as something to comply with. They are set out to compete against the system, not collaborate with it.

2) Pre-industrial humans without power tools could manufacture guns. Now, virtually anyone has more than enough resources to make a gun if so they wanted, or a ballistic knife, crossbow, sword, etc. Or a fucking trebuchet or a cannon. This means that any regulations about acquisition, registration, carrying, etc. are worth shit.

3) Firearm regulations also apply to law enforcement. But guess what happens when organized crime acquires more firepower than law enforcement? Then law enforcement is fucked and they lose territorial control. Because if you have a fucking squirt gun and criminals have fully automatic weapons you will think twice before attending a dispatcher call.

Go to Mexico, they have very comprehensive laws that you will love. They also have narcos executing policemen on the streets on video. And organized crime armies with uniforms, insignia, marked vehicles and a war arsenal including anti-aircraft weapons.

The system you live in is facilitated by gun ownership. A system that does scale well. Gun control doesn't fucking scale, it never has, unless you live in a police state that you also hate. But extortion and organized crime does scale once gun control is in effect, and can take over a country very quickly.

Feel free to downvote now, I don't care. Gun control sucks. If you love it so much go live to a country with strict gun control (in this continent).

If you are lucky and make it to age 80, you will find yourself outliving your closest family members, living alone on some shitty retirement money that is now worth shit due to inflation, without health insurance, having to rent the house you once lived in and living in a cheaper neighborhood where people will know you are an old, slow, harmless person. You cannot afford a dog because you spend all your money on meds. So you will be crying for a gun to protect yourself. But you won't have a gun because you spent your life arguing against them, and after several consecutive administrations with your favorite political party in power, gun control is a reality. Your last moments in this world will be some criminal causing you to lose your balance, fall and die as he escapes with all your valuable shit, thanking you for supporting gun control. He is loving that shit. It is cruise control for crime. In an alternate universe, you opposed gun control, you deterred the crime using your the gun you bought in the supermarket without registration or permits, and smiled as you pulled the trigger ending the criminal's attempt to rob you. Then you went back to your living room, put on some chill music and continued solving your Sunday sudoku.

That's what comments in the other post said, but I don't know if there's new info in the last 3 years.

Looking at their site, the features sound good (though I'm not thrilled about Plaid integration, TBH). They aren't a real bank, though, from their own site:

> Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided by Choice Financial Group and Evolve Bank & Trust®; Members FDIC.

The page that links to, https://mercury.com/how-mercury-works, seems to suggest that by using "sweep networks", their clients are able to get even better than normal FDIC protection. Their FAQ also says "Mercury checking and savings deposits are FDIC-insured up to $1M. As a broader effort, we are working on expanding all coverage up to $4M. You can learn more about FDIC insurance through their own FAQ here."

The marketing copy sounds good, but I'm curious to know what others think about these claims.

> I think it’s safe to say people wouldn’t be working for any company if they thought it was evil

Did you read what you wrote?
Right, risk management is often about taking a huge loss, so that it doesn’t become an existential one. Clearly risk management was poor here.

I only took exception to the idea that they “tried to unwind the position,” which is clearly untrue. There would be willing buyers at the right price.
I'm not arguing that 'everyone else' is 'disinterested in technology, but that they're not similarly interested, that is they are not going to invest the same time as you would in learning about it. As I said, their default response to a demonstrated security failure is to either express dismay or refer to the police. Most people want to just buy security.

Now, if you see a commercial opportunity in being a security salesman and using a F0 as a demonstration tool, have at it. But if you expect this to lead to some mass upgrade of security consciousness, you're fooling yourself. Look at lock picking/hacking videos on Twitter and realize how in the US, a rich and technologically advanced country, even the police default to laughably bad security measures. People prioritize convenience, and showing them the error of their ways will just result in most of them choosing to pay more money for a more secure-seeming solution while still prioritizing convenience.

You could show people two different-sized padlocks with identical bad locking mechanisms, and people would still assume the larger one offers better protection. In a way they're right, because causal/opportunist criminals are also lazy and while they might use force to pop a small lock, they might not consider the effort and time to pop the big one worth the increased risk of being spotted. Smart criminals that know how to pick or finesse a lock (perhaps even putting it back afterwards) are much less common.
What lesson is that? To allow inflation run rampant in order to protect Basel exempted businesses from their own bad decisions?

Inflation must be tamed, it's detrimental longterm effects is magnitudes worse than a bank deservedly going bust for it's lack of risk management.

Don’t put it in a bank. Use a brokerage that gives you extra insurance - some insure up to $100M.

Also brokerages that aren’t regulated as banks generally can’t touch your assets. Equities and bonds are yours. You can fill out a form to have them transferred somewhere else. If your brokerage is regulated as a bank, in the U.S. they seem to be able to “bail in” using your assets - which seems sketchy as fuck.

I don’t know why people keep more than $250k (or 100k euros or 80k pounds, or whatever the insured amount is) in a single bank. Nobody understands the risks involved in the financial house of cards that banks build. Don’t trust them.
Well, if you believe that the only thing the lives at stake have to do with are emotions, then yes I did. But usually the reason for spending money is considered part of the rational decision making process.

While the cost of conversion is prohibitive and needs various incentives and easing zoning standards before it can become affordable. In addition outside of manhattan the market for high end apartment is likely already met.

There is an additional issue at play. Both the building owner and city/state officials are clinging to the hope of return to office. Its just more profitable both for the building owner to rent commercially and the city/state to pocket the resulting sales and property taxes commercial entities and the economic activity they further spur. (Neighboring businesses that cater to lunch for office staff generate more sales tax than an apartment building pays in property tax).
That would require knowledge of how detailed you have to get before going deeper stops altering the performance. I suspect there is no magic line that becomes sapience once you cross it; there's just a smooth slope upwards. Someday we'll have to decide standards of measurement that separate the living from the dead.
Why would the salt be dumped back in the ocean? Wouldn’t it be sold to consumers?
Yes, BUT they do not need to get 1000 USD from anywhere to put 1000 USD in your account. They literally just say you have 1000 USD. You can then electronically transfer that to anyone else's bank. The banks then borrow government money overnight to settle accounts. That's the only place government money comes into it.

Economists actually refer to the USD in your account as bank money because it did not come from the government. You could just as easily think of that money in your account as a bank issued stablecoin pegged to the dollar that's convertible to dollars.
The examples given in the article are mushrooms and broccoli. Obviously the primary and first use cases would be things that want some shade (in the local environment).

In the UK, National Savings and Insurance - https://www.nsandi.com/ - is run by the government. Unlike most UK banks, which under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme have to protect up to £85,000 of savings per person, NS&I has an unlimited guarantee (presuming the UK doesn't go bankrupt of course...) and their savings interest rates are pretty reasonable.

Theoretically yes, but it's harder to control the heat for the duration you need to do that. The flex substrate is pretty melty.

I would try it with a shovel tip and a whole lot of spares to get the technique down, but if I only had one shot, I think I'd go with the author's technique, one wire at a time. Perhaps with less gap between the ends, though.
As a foreigner I don’t understand how the debt ceiling is even supposed to work.

One year Congress passes a budget. Accordingly Treasury sells debt to raise money, and money is being spent. In the middle of the year Congress refuses to raise the debt ceiling. What’s supposed to happen to the budget they just passed?

It seems a lot like Congress orders a three-course meal at a restaurant and then refuses to pay when the bill comes in.

You might argue it’s a different Congress refusing to pay the bill, but that’s not a good look either when the US government is supposed to represent stability and continuity.
With action this severe I don't think party allegiance would have much to do with it, unless you're purely referring to ownership statistics.

The article doesn't mention the Mexican drug cartels at all. Maybe you're just not aware, but the word cartel has a meaning outside of organized crime and the drug trade. OPEC, for example, is a cartel of oil producing states.
Depends. For example Apple can save ProRaw format which DOES include the postprocess magickery, but uncompressed and having more detail for post.

BUT, it also provides apps with true RAW, which is true (or very close to true) raw.

Two different definitions of "raw" is apparently possible even on the same device.

I don't have personal experience with it, maybe it's all fantasy, but a popular trope in mafia stories is the mafia serving as a parallel or backup government to otherwise law-abiding people. For instance, The Godfather opens with a man, not part of the mob, asking the Godfather for vigilante justice because the American criminal system failed to punish the man who disfigured his daughter.

You are precisely correct, and that's why it's always been raised. Congress (mostly, but not exclusively, the Republican Party) just uses it as a cudgel to extract budget concessions from the other party in the next budget.

You realize that these photos are to be compared with other phones and not some apsc on tripod, thats a ridiculous premise for everybody understanding 101 of photography that not even Samsung during any release was claiming to beat.

It still shows you much more details than visible via eyes, so yeah its a party trick (what else would moon shot on phone be), but pretty darn great at that (I haven't seen so many people with :-O since iphone 1 release when showing this... then they quickly try their top iphones and xiaomis and end up consistently with a small white blob).

There is one aspect that this phone wins at easily - it can take that moonshot (TBH it can be a bit sharper than yours) while handheld, pretty consistently. Good luck trying that with your apsc with such a long shutter, it will consistently end up in just a blur. Software often beats raw hardware even these days.
While "smart people do terrible things" is an absolutely fair point, it's also the kind of thing I hear AI researchers say, even with similar references.
