> minority rule, in the Senate

If you look away from the senators and consider the people the senators represent, it was intended to be even without the filibuster.

But what should be truly opposed is the cowardly way in which the filibuster is done today.

You should make 41 people vote against the bill, on record with their names, then go back to their constituents and explain why they did it in a town hall sometime soon.

Right now a senator can rely on the fact that their re-election is five years away when killing a bill which is supported by their constituents.

41 of them cannot assume they have years for the public to forget their vote on this particular thing (like hurting small businesses by inaction too).

Windows 1.0, with a white cursor, was released in November 1985.

Mac OS 1.0, with a black cursor, was released in January 1984. Its predecessor, Lisa OS, with a black cursor, was January 1983.

So if anything, maybe Windows cursor was white just to be different from Mac.

But also, according to Wikipedia, Windows 1.0 was inspired by Visi On [1], which also used a white cursor (pointing upwards, rather than up-left) [2]. So it might have just copied that?

But just from a logical standpoint, Mac always used a white document area with black text in windows, where it would make sense to have a black cursor easy to see. While Visi On continued the MS-DOS/terminal tradition of white text on a black background in its windows, where a white cursor would be more visible. But a quick Google search though doesn't seem to produce any authoritative answer for why Windows 1.0, with its white backgrounds, would choose a white cursor. All I can find is [3] but it's paywalled and none of the usual cache/archive services can access it.

I've only seen bad behavior from the SEC since I started following their crypto-crusade. Both Coinbase and Telegram came to the SEC voluntarily and asked for guidance. The SEC did not consult in good faith, instead springing the trap when either company announced their crypto product. For Telegram, it was TON, for Coinbase, it was Lend. [1]

Whatever your feelings on crypto, these are bad actions and if embodied in a person, I would tell the world far and wide of this person's poor character and total lack of ethics.

At the same time Germany was exporting to other countries and was overall one of the largest exporters of electricity in Europe. Even France imported from Germany, but overall France exported more.

What people sometimes like to do is take a snapshot at a certain date and time and try to make a broader point, but overall Germany has been a net exporter of electricity for years and years in a row.

>If we could create a carbon capture machine that turned CO2 in cinder blocks using the energy from a nuclear reactor, we'd really be set.

Technically easy, economically and politically difficult. Ultimately I'd suspect it would need to be done at such a massive scale where the overhead of running a nuclear plant safely becomes minimal relative to the underlying costs to mine/refine uranium.
The flipside is that that 5-year amortization continues even if you did fire everyone, right? Because the costs already happened. So if we consider forward from year 5 of your example, with everyone being fired at year 5:

Old:

Year 6: 1000K profit

Year 7: 1000K profit

Year 8: 1000K profit

Year 9: 1000K profit

Year 10: 1000K profit

New:

Year 6: 200K profit (End of year 1 amortization)

Year 7: 400K profit (End of year 2 amortization)

Year 8: 600K profit (End of year 3 amortization)

Year 9: 800K profit (End of year 4 amortization)

Year 10: 1000K profit (End of year 5 amortization)

Of course this "wind-down" period is unhelpful if you're actually shuttering the business...

I'm not sure it ever does ask you to set up those things again. I never set up fingerprint scanning and I don't recall it asking later to set those things up. (maybe it has after a patch though I don't recall it.. also maybe if you go to the place in settings where you might set one of those things up, like if you went into the siri control panel it might prompt you to set it up there... but that seems very reasonable.)

I'd prefer to get away from the lathe example because it's not actually a great example of whats going on. I solely used it because the person I was responding to used it.

So back to software. If I have an idea for some company (lets say Twitter2.0) and I bring in ~10M in revenue from selling ad slots but I also paid a bunch of programmers ~8M over the course of the year and somehow the rest of overhead/expense was 1M. I think we can both agree 10M > 9M and so my business venture is profitable.

However, come end of year I have book 10M - (1M + 1.6M) = 7.4M of profit. You may wonder how I can book 7+M of profit when I spent 9M on 10M of revenue and this is exactly what this whole thread is about, programming salaries must be amortized.

This leads to the problem I have to pay taxes on 7.4M of profit using the 1M that I actually have left over so as long as the tax rate is below 13% there's no problem but if its any higher than I need to take out a loan to pay taxes.
Yes, it's anything I dislike.
The advice doesn't give any direction one way or the other on how you express the opinion. Some interpret "weakly held" to mean "hold your tongue"; some interpret "strong opinions" as "opinions worthy of being expressed strongly".

The advice in thus kind of vapid: it doesn't tell you how to apply the opinion in the very important case that others disagree with it. The advice is most apropos in a vacuum -- and applies perfectly to your opinion of a spherical cow.
I am still not seeing anything here explaining the actual illegality here. As far as I can tell, and it appears still to to be determined, Apple and the city in question are both operating within the law.

LLMs cannot replace anyone, but it is clear that engineers which master LLMs usage might multiply their productivity by a lot.

I am sure tools might help, but I personally found that tools matter less once you build up that familial rapport.

Yep, I'm pretty sure Borland C++ was what I used in college in my first "real" programming class. The nice thing about the older IDEs was how easy it was to get started programming: start it up and you're looking at a blank source file; often you can compile and run without even officially saving it! Made it really easy to try things out. The only "IDE" that comes close to that level of immediacy today would be something like Processing.

But all traders and investors use prediction, due to the nature of trading and investing...do you mean some specific form of prediction?

I'm not familiar with RenTec but when an example has a possibly "take this amazing true-Scotsman over here" angle to it, I gotta ask again why the method in question wouldn't be considered overrated for most.

Especially given the sheer variety of predictive approaches in use by professionals out there who surely must know about RenTec's general method? Is it a specification that's different? Do others expect even higher returns over a shorter timeline? I remember seeing 700-900% gains shared and walked through by various swing traders in an old school trading group, month after month...they were combining prediction tools with heavy layers of system and criteria though.

I wouldn't be surprised if some shitty Bluetooth headphones send a "play" command on connection, which then opens the default music player if no others are running, and by default the Music app has some Apple Music stuff (though as you say it can be disabled).

> Capital expenses are amortized because you purchase an asset that will give you value over multiple years. So, for example, if you buy an office building, you amortize the capital expense.

Even that seems like a pretty weak argument for what is essentially a tax penalty.

At least for a purchase of a liquid (or somewhat liquid) capital asset, one could, in principle, re-sell it. But most R&D has essentially no direct resale value and is not being done to create a salable asset. It’s done to create knowledge or IP, which, in turn, is used to create something salable.

I assume the purpose of requiring amortization of capital expenses is to prevent abuses like buying an extremely liquid asset, deducting the purchase price, and thus deferring a tax bill.

I love that this looks very much like Query Analyzer, the lightweight querying tool that came with SQL Server 2000. Back then, server management, querying and profiling were handled by separate utilities that did one thing well.

They were all replaced with SSMS, which was a slow abomination.

Query Analyzer is my favourite SQL editing environment to this day. It was incredibly snappy, could render thousands of rows without skipping a beat and had a nice explain visualisation built in. If there was a modern rewrite that supported PostgreSQL, I'd buy it in an instant.

If it weren't for games, I'd swap over too.

But having to swap between either physical computers or dual-boot is just asking too much for me. I like my convenience. Having one OS that does whatever I want is good. Linux is getting closer with stuff like WINE, but I play too much obscure, old, heavily modded, or just games that have issues as it is - and don't want to add the OS into the mix. I like not having to worry about my OS being the problem. Just the other day I found out Old School Runescape's new launcher won't have Linux support, and I play that daily. :/

Some of the defaults in Windows suck, and I've had to disable some tracking and other crap I didn't like, but other than that it's been seamless for as long as I've had computers. That's good enough for me, even if it's a hodgepodge mess in terms of design.

Erm the whole idea of a symmetry is that it is a group invariant. If they're using the term in some more general way, it would help if they said what the new way was. The article is otherwise almost completely uninformative. What on earth is a "generalized symmetry", especially one that still has something like a conservation law? Does it have applications in math as well as physics? E.g. topologists are always looking for new invariants.

I can understand that popularizations have to gloss over the math, but they usually at least identify the important points even if they don't get into the weeds of explaining the details. This seems like more of a sleight of hand.
You don't need active intent to be emotionally manipulative. Being manipulative is about control.

My main point that I haven't made clear is that individual bad or unethical actions don't make a person "good" or "bad". That's what I take exception to in your post.

That was my intent by pointing out that you could be considered a "Bad Guy" if we were to reduce people down to a single black/white moral adjective based on one of their actions.
