A really strong point is how Grant manages to explain the basic concepts, that most viewers already know in some way, in such a way that it doesn't sound like repeated general knowledge. Every time he adds in lesser known facts. A concept gets defined, but in that definition starts a roller coaster of related facts. Sometimes a little history gets mixed in, and almost magically an entertaining story is created.

> non military manufacturing industry die

Without a booming civil manufacturing industry, how could our military industry stay competitive? There was a reason that a toilet for Airforce would cost north of $20K.
If hackathons in software work and produce good product ideas, why can't the same be possible in creative fields? Cutaways in Family Guy are already short jokes which are shared without broader context on social media and they are popular. Netflix can always A/B test newly introduced content to determine engagement. Already built up cultural context (e.g. idea of multiverse, matrix and so on)need not be re-introduced from scratch, so no need to spend screen time on them.
Do the ads also run at 2x ? ;-)
The thought that any other result could occur is insane because the owner could in theory sell the property themselves to pay for the tax debt. Forcing that decision upon you shouldn't result in stolen equity.
To add to this, for me personally the difficult part in automated test isn't the definition of expected output, but the retrieval of actual output in an automated way. Test frameworks can and will only focus on a limited set of interaction (Playwright for DOM, detox for mobile etc.).

I think Brendan Gregg's books[0][1] are quite inspiring for an understanding of a system with its inner workings, and provide information about various tools one can use to dissect a system and get some actual output in an automated way.

This is exactly the problem with Linux. For decades I've been seeing developers frothing at the mouth yelling at everyone else about how they should switch to Linux. Then they try Ubuntu and they can't even change the mouse acceleration without hunting down third party tools and they leave and never come back. Users need dead simple UX. Mastodon's signup process alone has been an absolute nightmare until mastodon.social enabled direct signup.
But that's expected from a website that derives all of its revenue from advertising. That is NOT expected from one's operating system.

That is unacceptable. When your operating system can't be trusted, it's time to move to a different platform.
Summary is “free money gone; now private equity has to actually invest” instead of throwing cash around, buying everything like a teenage girl in a trendy clothing shop with their parent’s credit card.
Apathetic and ignorant voters share the blame, as do our education system and media.
I had a billy book case and poang chair for almost 30 years. I moved it from my childhood homes to my apartments across multiple states.
While the card is not used they can invest the money and the interest earned is a financial revenue.
Theres been more egregious cases of being under a dollar short on taxes, and the cities profiting to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Which makes for weaponized taking of only profitable properties and not ones that taxes are so far behind theres no equity left.
My guess is they're all contractors and work as needed

Wouldn't this be a debtors prison?
Use what you like. It's Linux. It's what you make it. This is why there's options.

Why would your ideal config look anything like the next person's? Everybody has different needs, and everybody has different taste, different hardware, different workflows. What I'd recommend to one person isn't what I'd recommend to the next. I wouldn't even necessarily use the same DE between a laptop and desktop.

I see the value in both GNOME and KDE. I use KDE, but I miss certain things from GNOME like GNOME Sushi, which gives you a preview of a file with the spacebar similar to macOS' Finder's Quick Look. If you're a Mac user, GNOME will seem relatively familiar in the default OOBE.

You know how you hear a lot of very positive Mac users but very few people ever really talk about Windows machines in a positive light? Macs attract a certain user with a certain mindset, and GNOME is just like that too. You hear about their enjoyment of it. KDE users tend to be a bit more utilitarian in my experiences and just pick the thing that works and gets the task done, seldom ever discussing it, because it's just a DE.

That doesn't mean that either GNOME or KDE are the best or only way to do things though.

In terms of gaslighting, you're probably just chasing your tail. You want to understand what others see in it, that's cool of you, but maybe it just makes more sense to enjoy KDE, which it sounds like you already are. You can observe a similar thing in choice of DAW for audio, some people prefer x, others prefers y, z users are very vocal about enjoying their DAW (hello Reaper fanboys), but what ultimately counts is your ability to do the things you want to do with the tool at hand.

Many (most?) accidents are due to a clearly in the wrong driver (drunk-driving, texting, etc), and the other parties have no way of avoiding that. How exactly would a few self-driving cars help here? They can’t prevent a collision when the other party goes over a red light at some insane speed. They could start breaking sooner, which is great, but that doesn’t need self driving, it is a feature of plenty of cars already.

Of course if every car would be self driving we wouldn’t have crazy drivers, and accidents would diminish, but so would if we simply didn’t have crazy drivers. Neither is feasible in the near future, and in the short term, humans are much better at handling tricky situations (like.. not emergency braking at the sight of a plastic bag in the air)
Yes. What's the alternative answer? What proposed relationship do you identify between paying taxes on something and the ownership of that thing?
Companies bet on something like 2-5% of "breakage". That is the main profit motive behind gift cards. There are various claims of using them as marketing and a system to refund people without letting them out of your loop, but the major reason anyone pays what they do to a certain company to sell gift cards (almost nobody does it themselves anymore) is to get that breakage profit.

Gift cards are a subsidy from forgetful people to a business. Industry research also shows that people prefer to receive cash as a gift, but prefer to GIVE gift cards, because they are marketed as a "more thoughtful" gift, as if putting a brand name on some cash is thoughtful. Gift cards are an exclusively selfish gift.

Of course running below maximum output drives up cost. Are you disagreeing with basic math? Consumption of fuel is not the main cost of a nuclear power plant, and even if you shut it down completely, it still needs external power for the cooling.

Yes I believe so, which is the domain I used in examples and that the comment I replied to was about? While `+anything` is per RFC, it's not widely implemented either.
I think that's a big element of this. The sort of quality bar we see in StarCraft or WarCraft III would come across as kit-bashing or stylized low-budget indie today. Shipping a AAA-style game in a timely fashion needs a larger production process than earlier works.

The sort of issues around engineering and linked-lists[1] in the original StarCraft wouldn't really be an issue today. Teams are operating in a very different way.

It”s only mentioned at the end. If you use some regularization, you have many ways to fit the data (almost) perfectly, and you choose the one with the smallest coefficients, which is often one that generalizes well. And even without explicit regularization, some training methods implicitly apply sone form of regularization, when the number of parameters exceeds the number of data points.

I don't follow. That reasoning would mean that if you use a gmail account, for instance, that isn't a "personal" email address either. It seems to me a personal email address is an email address you use for personal communications as opposed to business communications.

Where that address is hosted, or what domain its on, isn't relevant to the question.

I think the title is confusing people. A more descriptive title might be, Supreme Court to decide if county can seize and sell $40k condo as penalty for $2k unpaid taxes, without giving back the excess value. It's not in question the government can penalize you for unpaid taxes by taking your property.
The balance is a liability. When some portion of that liability balance is deemed to be unlikely to ever be realized, you debit the liability account, and credit the revenue account.

Which subsidized startups are you referring to?
While I agree paying out based on time spent may incentivize games into poor behavior, I think there are ways to account for that (e.g. weeks of the month the game was played more than an hour or two total). Greatly reducing the up-front investment to try out a game allows for different types of games to find an audience.

If I have to pay $20 to try out some indie title, I might put it off a long time until it's on sale or never try it. If it's already included in a subscription I pay for, I might try it early or right after hearing some buzz about it. More people jumping in on that buzz can create a wave of enthusiasm that greatly increases the reach of the game that wouldn't happen if a similar number of sales trickled in over an extended period, which might increase players (and possibly sales on other platforms) more than otherwise.

It's been noted many times in the past, some of the big breaks for indie studios were when they got accepted into these programs or ones like it.
One thing not everyone realizes is how distributed and diverse the property tax systems and processes are. They arent national, they arent state-level, they might be city or county or township level. Some tax bills are paid by mortgage companies escrow services, some are not.

Sometimes, you dont get your property tax bill. Some times it gets lost. Some times you pay and the check gets lost. Some times they have working or non-working electronic payment systems. Bills change quarter to quarter, so you cannot necessarily push the payment, as the amount isnt consistent (though I've never seen it go down, only up.)

I've heard locals joke (cant verify) that modern-day "carpetbaggers" (outsiders who arent truly locals) might not get their bill and end up with a lien when they dont pay on time.
It sounds pretty clear it's not opt-in. They'd just say so if it was.
It is not doing that great really, it just sounds like it. Sales was up 7% last quarter, profit 9%, but inflation is 10% year-on-year. So Microsoft is effective losing value.
Running your own instance is not difficult. I recommend installing Yunohost.org on a $5/month VPS or some hardware you have laying around such as a single board computer. Installing apps from the Yunohost catalog is like installing from an app store. You can try different apps like Akkoma, Mastodon, Calckey, and others until you find the one you like. Then Yunohost makes maintenance and upgrade easy thank to the community of people maintaining the scripts that do everything behind the scenes.
I’ve been packed for Mars since 2021. Now the government won’t let me move there like Elon promised. Starship is ready to start taking colonists and some stupid federal agency screws it up.

I gotta say I disagree. I got the space change bit quickly (piece-wise linear space into frequency space). Complex plane's aren't a crutch, really they are the firm theoretical basis in which to express the detailed discussion properly.

You could always just switch to the Fourier sine and cosine forms, and avoid all of the other theoretical basis baggage. Sort of like physics for poets (I'm a computational theoretical physicist by training), leaving out the more detailed derivations and background, for a more straightforward approach.

Moreover, the DFT is not the FT. In the limit as your sampled points get very large, it will approach FT. There's a great book covering lots of these things in depth[1], with a pragmatic as well as theoretical approach. I think I gave my daughter this one (math phd student) last year.

FTs aren't merely a change of basis, there is quite a bit more to them than that. For DFT you can look at the process as a sequence of operator applications, but in the FT case this becomes a continuous sequence. Hence the space bits.

This isn't tenable for security, especially in light of computational complexity. Rather it is up to the party claiming "trust me" to show that they are trustworthy. One major way of doing this is to publish source code that is easier to audit than having to reverse engineer. There is a long history of proprietary companies claiming to be secure while actually being an absolute mess internally. In the face of that dynamic, it is reasonable to be suspect of proprietary systems a priori.

> Do you have evidence that Tesla is not honoring its privacy policy? If you want to change my mind, show me the data on how Tesla's systems are insecure/naive/user-hostile and I'm happy to continue the conversation.

The argument isn't that Tesla is not honoring its "privacy policy" or is currently abusing its backdoors today. Rather it's that the systems they have shipped can be easily abused tomorrow. I've used the words "insecure" and "naive" about the security of Tesla's cars versus Tesla as the attacker - a threat model that bug bounties generally don't address. I do agree that currently, Tesla is (seemingly) not doing much attacking of their customers. The point is that can change tomorrow and the software has been seemingly designed so there will be little the owners of cars can do to protect themselves.

I looked through your comment history to see where you're coming from. Surely as a Linux user you can appreciate that there is a stark difference between software that is widely expected to respect your own interests as the user (and has been decently scrutinized for this quality), and mostly opaque software that has been created by a company to chiefly serve that company's interests? Especially software that has Internet access, so that its behavior can change when the company's interests change?
I'd be equally delighted by a RISC-V with a bunch of efficient cores and a couple fast ones. Or s390x cores, POWER, MIPS... But until someone makes that kind of part in sufficient volumes, it won't be cheap.

Productivity is a very sticky feature. IMO there's no language that I know of which effectively competes with Ruby in this category.

> What's the alternative answer?

Property taxes, and hopefully all forms of wealth taxes, are unconstitutional and local towns / state must find an alternative method of funding themselves such as higher income tax, sales, VAT, etc.
> if you forced companies to advertise exact prices, everyone would go out of business

Sounds like many companies do not deserve to be in business then, if they cannot honestly charge what it costs to provide the goods or services they advertise and need to commit fraud to stay in business.
>> What gets missed in this discussion is that John Deere and other large machine manufacture[r]s offset the purchase price of these machines with the expected cost of maintenance for the lifetime of the machine. This lets business owners (in this case farmers) obtain financing for machines that might in other situations be difficult to obtain.

That would be fine and dandy if there were a *choice* to discount the price in exchange for the reduced degree of ownership. (And if they were decent folks, once equity had been fully paid off they would unlock everything).

The reality is nothing more than rent-seeking MBA bastards trying to improve their own bottom line.

It's dangerous when companies get into the financing business with their products and dictate the terms in user-hostile ways for which you have zero bargaining power. You wind up with problems like phones you can't transfer to another provider and cars that want to lock you out if you're late on a payment.

As consumers our best way to fight this bullshit is to just say NO, and stop buying products that are encumbered with such shenanigans.

It's one reason I never buy my phone from the same company that sells my service. I hold the unorthodox view they have no business being device resellers, and I wish they just stuck to selling me airtime and focused on being good at that (fast speeds, good coverage, network capacity, customer service, etc). Instead they load products up with bloatware, and over time poisoned the incentives of manufacturers to prioritize their interests over my own user experience. In any event I find better deals and truly unlocked units off eBay, usually from a region of the world where the model supports the ROM I prefer to use.

Unfortunately it's becoming harder in practice to locate alternative supply, and not everyone is in a position to make this principled choice. Some can't afford it, but most of us are ambivalent and just want to get a phone and get on with our lives.

A traditional financing outfit could care less about restricting what features you can use on your product or who you're allowed to pay to fix or upgrade it (as long as the repairs are competent, which is justifiable seeing as they are part-owners, and such conditions are all lifted once you buy them out). While I dislike government dictating relationships between businesses and consumers, I feel like there should be anti-compete laws to keep some degree of separation between corporations "product" and "financing" arms to avoid customer-harming conflicts of interest. Particularly when that corporation is the manufacturer. There's just too much temptation for them to degrade toward the direction I described above, and in practice not enough market diversity for consumers to fight back in other ways.
