That feels like a situation that would only affect the "first sale" at most. Unless you sign a contract to that effect, I don't think it holds. Book publishers tried this with "Only for sale outside the USA" but Supreme Court shot that down.

There are a few tests for whether or not something is capitalized.

First, the revenue is earned in future accounting periods. For example, you buy a delivery truck. You expect to earn money over several years with the delivery truck. To match expenses with the revenue generated, a portion of the expense of the truck is allocated to each accounting period. If the revenue is in the current period, then there's no reason to capitalize. For example, fast food worker's wages are not capitalized since the revenue is in the current period. The warehouse construction worker's salary is capitalized int he cost of the warehouse because it will earn revenue for several years.

Another test is if it's assignable to the cost of the asset. The CFO's salary isn't capitalized as part of the investment (unless the company literally does nothing else), because there are a lot of projects and it's hard to specifically assign. Selling expenses aren't capitalized because 1) the asset is complete and 2) they are assignable to the sale and not the cost of the asset. Other costs to acquire the asset, such as delivery fees, installation fees, insurance, etc. are capitalized.

Do you own the asset? If I hire a construction company to build a warehouse, they hae nothing to capitalize since they don't own the asset. I do.

And material. If I have you write a shell script that we'll use for the next five years to copy backups between our servers and Azure, and it takes an afternoon, we don't capitalize that. It's just not material.

If it's leased for 90/95% of the cost and for 90/95% of the useful life, it's capitalized. This prevents companies from treating capitalized costs as leasing expenses in the current period.
> I'm pretty sure that your definition of an interval is correct even when the set doesn't have a total order

Yes, and in the usual ordering on floats that's actually implemented by hardware, 0.0f == -0.0f, so -0.0f is in [-0.0f, 0.0f].

> since floating point numbers usually represent one number in a range of real values, and -0.0f represents -epsilon where epsilon is between 0 and the real value of the smallest denorm.

That's a valid interpretation but apparently the standard ordering wasn't specified from that perspective.

Because long ago the politicians got this "brilliant" idea of requiring many things to not increase the deficit.

The result has been things that cost money are "balanced" by raising taxes somewhere--but politicians don't want to raise taxes. Thus we get all sorts of garbage that fiddles with the details without "raising" taxes, but "raises" revenue--often by pulling it forward rather than actually changing the total amount.

We have also seen a lot of things that employers used to simply pay changed to income for the employee but deductible--but that causes the FICA taxes to be paid in all cases and since an awful lot of employees aren't in a position to itemize those deductions are lost. Something that was tax free now becomes income, but they didn't "raise" taxes.

I'd like to take the idiotic idea and stand it on it's head: I would not permit *any* measure to fund itself. A measure would either be a tax bill or a spending bill, it would be prohibited for a bill to do both. That would remove much of the drive to create insanities like this and Congress could work on cleaning up all the garbage. To accomplish this, though, we will have to evict all those idiots who "promised" never to raise taxes (but are perfectly willing to vote for stealth increases that cause a lot more pain per $ raised than doing it honestly would.)

Not true, they are legally rentable for profit without a contract. Redbox has stated on the record that they have done it sometimes when there were tense moments with movie studios. Blockbuster used similar provisions. It's called the First Sale Doctrine which applies to all physical products, but not necessarily digital products.

It is, however, not legal to rent CDs in the US. Because the US is weird.
That library doesn’t even appear to have a stable release yet, and was at v0.0.x as of a year or so ago… you also may be using chatGPT 3.5 which may predate this library.

Yesterday Stackoverflow, today Reddit. A clear pattern emerges where open web content/communities face existential issues if the current AI paradigm continues.

It's a daylight robbery. The sum of 18 years of Reddit is an enormous capital investment as well an immeasurable amount of hours spent by its users to create the content.

It's absolutely baffling how a single entity (OpenAI, Google Bard) can just take it all without permission or compensation, and then centrally and exclusively monetize these stolen goods.

The fact that we barely even blink when this happens, and that founders confidently execute on an idea like this, tells you everything there is to know about our industry. It doesn't even pretend to do good anymore. Anything goes, really.

Anyway, get ready for an "open" web that will consist of ever more private places with ever higher walls. Understandably so, any and all incentive to do something on the open web is not only pointless now, it actively helps to feed a giant private brain.

it was more fun, too. Something about the queue system and the fact it was paused until I returned the DVDs I had prompted me to watch more things I hadn't already seen. I tend to default to comfort watching with streaming or endless "I'll watch that later" cycles. There was something of the 'discovery' process of the video rental stores still in netflix.

The site also still had a social component back then with star ratings, lists, you could see what your friends were watching and comment. There was almost a goodreads vibe to parts of the site - it was fun.

Look, you are obviously very passionate about nuclear power. And you may be right that nuclear's bad economics stem from unfairness. And it might even be true that there is some hypothetical world where people stop being so unfair, and in that world good/safe nuclear will suddenly become cheap for the first time ever.

But we have to live in the real world, and here in the real world we need to build an enormous amount of low-carbon power generation in a ridiculously short amount of time. And right now nuclear prices are not comparable to wind/solar prices as we actually build nuclear today. This holds even when you apply the most generous assumptions when comparing them. And non-nuclear renewables are getting cheaper every day, something that just isn't happening to nuclear.

So fine, build some nuclear around the edges. Baseload is great! But people need to recognize that short of a political and technological revolution of which there is currently no sign whatsoever, solar/wind/storage are going to form the bulk of a decarbonized grid. So let's please get on with making that happen quickly, because every month we burn fossil fuels brings more future devastation.

Education is less about knowledge but more about connections and interactions nowadays. Some lucrative positions only hire from small groups. So yeah I'd aim for the best university.

About knowledge itself, find something you are interested in and drill deep. I know it's cliche but unfortunately that's the only way to have a meaningful life without relying on someone else (I'm trying to say you can have a meaningful life by doing something different but that usually relies on someone else e.g. getting a kid).

Other than that get healthy and exercise often.

Of course if you have well connected parents then it's a different story.

I've been looking into using Tailscale/Headscale but I've been struggling[0] to find in-depth information about what security risk the coordination server poses (should it get hacked). Yes, the node list can be locked but the ACL cannot(?) So if I, say, run the Headscale coordination server on one of the devices that are part of my Tailnet, wouldn't an attacker that controls the coordination server automatically get access to my entire Tailnet, including SSH access to every device? So is the conclusion

- Always lock your node list, whether you use Tailscale or Headscale.

- If you use Headscale, run the coordination server entirely separately from your Tailnet.

I'm the original author. Thank you for reading the article and engaging with it! I don't fundamentally disagree with your point that "Most Abused" is accurate. My experience is that it abused so frequently, and depends so much on a cultural context that generally doesn't exist anymore (if it ever really did), that it needs to be fundamentally rethought. And fortunately the main fix is really simple: even a tiny level of qualification makes a massive difference to how invited other people feel to the discussion. To take your example, if you said "In my opinion, Tesla makes the best electric car, no-one comes close... and I could be wrong, I'd love to hear the counterargument", that minimal adjustment can make a big difference to your coworkers. And presumably you want to get the best out of them!

Voting machines are typically purchased at the county level, so that means at least one county in 28 states bought them. They're a big vendor, but they're not the largest, and not as big as that stat implies.

The fact that voting is administered at the local level is one of the biggest fraud protections we have. It drastically reduces the damage that can be done, and makes outliers much harder to hide.

I'm no expert, but my understanding is that any expense related to software development would have to be amortized regardless of company structure or employees.

So, two scenarios: a) If you were a sole-proprietorship, you made $100K revenue, paid $10k in AWS fees, you would pay personal taxes on $98k (100 - 10/5) that year. b) If you paid a contractor $50k that year, you would pay taxes on $88k. (100 - 10/5 - 50/5).

In the past taxes base would be a) $90k (100 - 10) and b) $40k (100 - 10 - 50). So yeah larger tax implications for having employees, but the same would be the case with any expense.
This is a big, big improvement in the ergonomics of generics (and anything that needs type variables).

You had a pretty amazing college! Well, or...
In a vacuum I agree with you; but when it's election interference, with rhetoric leading to an actual attempted coup...I am not so sure.
I have fond memories of the Netflix DVD service. In high school, I would get a disk, immediately burn a copy, and return it the same day. I could get about 20-25 DVDs a month on the 3-DVD plan this way.

Since many DVDs were dual-layered but consumer DVD-Rs were single-layered, I had to transcode the video to fit on the smaller DVD. This resulted in the fan on my family's shared desktop going haywire, prompting many inquries from my parents. I think I told them I had to defrag the hard drive.

At some point, towards the end of each month, Netflix started delaying how quickly DVDs would be sent out if you used this many. I think they settled a class-action lawsuit over this, and I was rewarded a free month.

After a few years, when I had a couple shoeboxes of DVDs, hard drives started getting large enough that I could just store all the movies on an external drive. This was good since the consumer DVD-Rs didn't last that long -- the ink would degrade, ususally towards the center of the disk, which would result in a movie sometimes freezing in the last 15-minutes or so. A few instances of this with friends over was enough for me to make the final transition.

I do miss the process of the physical disks though. It was really excited every time a new one would come. I would take some time labeling them, drawing out the movie title in the production font. And friends loved to browse through my collection when they came over. They were amazed by how much I'd amassed. Nowadays, with all the content available, my Plex server with 10x as many movies barely elicits a shrug.

But I really owe Netflix for exposing me to so much at such a formative time in my life. Being able to see any film I wanted in the early 2000s really broadened my perspective on the world. Their recommendation system at the time was top notch, and I watched tons of things I would have never seen otherwise.

As you said, the readers get quantity and honestly above all else that's what they want.

They already enjoy the stories enough to buy them or support patreons for them, I don't think trying to up the quality would be wise for the authors assuming it slowed down how quickly they wrote.
I agree that happens a lot but this may not have been an instance of it: Fox might've genuinely liked their odds before the judge slammed them for lying about Murdoch's role and ordering a special investigation. They might've re-evaluated based on the new disclosures they had to do and an angry judge who now would've assumed bad faith from them, and decided to bail.
If you make a million and pay a million in salaries, you have no cash left, right?

But! You get to pay taxes as if you made 800k in profit. So lucky you, you have zero dollars and now you get to pay 240,000 in tax (800k * 30%) to the government.

You're now 240k in the hole. Game over, no year two, three, or four.

This doesn't affect venture funded companies as badly because they have millions in funding and they can ride out the amortization. It does, however, affect bootstrappers trying to start a thing. Perhaps you could call them small, indie hackers?

Removing or editing the output of the model is providing new information to the model, what's improving the performance of the model in this scenario is that you are explicitly adding new information and fine tuning it on these new cases.

It's extremely relevant because people seem to be arguing with about mathematical facts as though they were somehow opinions.

You cannot improve the performance of a model without adding new information to that model.
This is most certainly not the case. Rental licenses are their own thing and usually get their own media stock. For DVDs, the discs usually had basic monochrome screen printing and came in paper sleeves that would later be processed into rent-able form.
