The Emperor didn't really have all the power. The military was on the cusp of mutiny after the second bomb, fearing the Emperor would surrender. It is really unlikely that the emperor would surrender without one nuclear bomb. The generals wouldn't have it. So yes, maybe one bomb might have been enough, and the only reason anything changed after the second bomb was a change in the surrender conditions. Do you know for certain that they didn't discuss allowing the emperor to remain after the first bomb? Do you have any link I could read about this?
At this point I'd rather die in my house. So much of it is obviously crap and it's so inconvenient and expensive I'd rather avoid doctors altogether.
I understood that they want to profit. But people are stealing parts or painting over, so they either have to put security (50k per year) or sell it paying 200k for the removal. They really are asking potential buyers to pay the bill.

For what I read about VARA, it applies only if you paid the artist to paint the graffiti, and later you decide to destroy it, as the artist keeps some rights even if you own the art.
In the first example it seems obvious that that logic belongs in Item. But for the coupon stuff, that doesn't fell 100% right either. IMHO Coupon should be the one that knows how to calculate item costs, items should know nothing about coupons.
(The discount calculation seems to have a typo. It looks like it calculates the discount rather than the price after discount)
For a lot of Americans, unfortunately, the biggest exposure one gets to Southern Accents is from the fake, “dumb on purpose” caricature that defines country music stars and Larry The Cable Guy. I’m from Montana, and know several born-and-raised Montanans (and Oregonians, Washingtonians, even Californians) with completely inexplicable drawls (people decidedly not sharing any familial or otherwise relationship with the South) that lapse in and out of perceptibility based on circumstance.

It wasn’t until I had a research advisor who was verifiably not a dullard that I even had an option to consider anything to the contrary of the base American conception that a Southern accents indicates stupidity, laziness, pig-headedness, etc.

The death of the region accent really is a crying shame. Glad my folks still have their hokey Saskatchewanesque lilt.
we're not actually a very rules based society
For future people who mind find this in Google:

I have been searching for some time now without success, even ChatGPT tells me there is no such number, because many countries don't have the statistics, different taxation systems exist etc.

Some numbers I have found are around the 0.1% percentile for $300k yearly income compared to the world.

With both members of the household working at Meta/in the valley and and household income of 600k/y we get below 0.1%, because in many countries even households with high income do not have double-earners with that kind of income.
It's worth remembering that the US was neutral in the war until https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor happened.
I swear I've seen this somewhere...
That's why I said karmic justice.

I think it's a close book. The book details the decision process from both sides. Japan's plans to continue the war. The way the high command coped with the first atomic bomb, etc. It does not sway you into thinking any side was justified, but it expands one's perspective to help you understand the other's side.
Possibly an unpopular opinion, but I think this is a reasonable strategic move by Valve.

They're a game distributor, Nintendo is a massive game publisher. Distributing dolphin would piss Nintendo off.

As much as I'd like it as a user, it makes sense for Valve as a company.
> It's refreshing to say, "you're being an asshole" and have a friend go, "oh my bad, I do that sometimes."

Would the apology not be more effective if it didn't include the attempt at excusing one's behavior?

> Most young folks [...]

Would your argument not be more effective if you made an attempt to avoid unnecessarily painting a broad, diverse demographic with one brushstroke, especially given that your argument doesn't actually hinge on the people being young specifically?

> If they told me that, I'd piss my self laughing even if I just paid $70 for the haircut.

What about the things you don't realize you're sensitive about? Is it possible your friends are merely the same brand of insensitive as you, and therefore insensitive in a way that is acceptable to you? Is it possible that you're demanding that everyone around you have precisely the same flavor of insensitivity as yourself?

> Most of my friends who are brutally honest try to say the things they're thinking as much as possible.

Isn't this a really ineffective and imprecise way to communicate? Won't this lead to a pile of followup questions from folks who don't understand the implicit social cues you share with those you're close with?

Being honest doesn't have to mean being unfiltered and brash. Being an effective communicator means taking into account how your message might be received and tailoring it so it's not easily misunderstood.

And calling people "wusses" for merely not subscribing to your brand of communication is itself an ironically cowardly act, a running away from the responsibility you might have for the words you say. It is exactly the kind of thing someone who needs to believe certain things about themselves might say instead of growing up and treating others with respect.
Yeah, I didn't read far enough down the page before commenting. I must have been distracted by my tasty Coca Cola.
Are you in HR? If not you could be the literal person the parent is forgiving.

To their point, I have worked closely with HR in law firms and behind the scenes there are alot of those circumstances they describe which the general staff would not be privy to. There’s no way that is being automated away.

I'm concerned that if AI really lives up to the hype that retail investors are thinking, it's more of a civilization ending event than some sort of ascension to heaven.

Meanwhile the hedge funds and institutional investors are just trying to ride the momentum while it lasts, which could be for a while.

Slight tangent but that's an interesting example, because while healthcare and police have (at least in theory, not the point here) training/accountability requirements, there are many places with locally organised fire response units alongside of the gov organised ones. Especially in areas far away from larger towns, communities pick up a lot of organisation and responsibility for practical reasons. In extreme cases of very isolated farms, it's literally the individuals that deal with the problems unless it's likely to becomes a widespread issue.
For what it's worth, I don't think this would be protected in the US.

In the US, graffiti artists' rights have only been upheld under VARA if their work was permitted by the property owner. The artists suing the developers who painted over 5 Pointz were successful because their work was created with the consent of the property owners.

However, more recently a property management company in California was not held responsible for painting over murals on their building that were painted without the owner's consent:

"CCI concedes that the statutory provisions of the VARA “do[] not expressly state that the consent of the building owner is necessary.” Id. Instead, CCI argues that “common sense” implies a requirement that a plaintiff must plead consent of a building owner to establish standing and access the protections of the VARA. Id. The Court agrees with CCI, at least with regards to works of art that cannot be removed from a building without causing their destruction."

EDIT: -Chicago +California
I'm saddened that ordinary people still don't care enough about their digital privacy.
This title is misleading. The $250k is the cost to remove the brick walls its painted on if they want to sell the mural, not something that is being forced upon them.
It's not rocket science, that's for sure.
How do you train the model to differentiate "actual ergonomic furniture" from "we bought it at a high-fashion place so it's $1500, Scandinavian, and looks futuristic, but is somehow less comfortable than a $69 task chair?"
The book is excellent, but I also find that both adaptations drag a bit and can be a boring watch.
I think the phrase "feelings are valid" have ended up being... less than ideal for communicating the backing idea. When I talk to mental health professionals they tend to say "your feelings are valid" relates to two fairly incontrovertible things

1. You feel what you feel

2. It is not a moral failing to have a particular emotional reaction in the moment since these are not within our control (acting on the emotion is)

The word "valid" ends up granting connotations that the rationale a person applies to why they're feeling their feelings is somehow reasonable or correct. Many emotional reactions are not reasonable or justifiable and the most reasonable course of action may be figuring out how to repress that emotional reaction in the future - phobias are an excellent example here.

I think you're seeing that exact miscommunication here, others are reading "valid" in the normal use of the word while you're using it in this more colloquial fashion.
Which is still a full order of magnitude worse than the German numbers. Blaming nature for our shit infrastructure is only going to harm ourselves.
CDE on Sun was a daily driver for my working life through the late 90's / early 2000's. KDE under Linux could be configured to have more or less the same UI semantics.

That changed with KDE 4 and a lot of people rejected it. One would assume those people are the same ones who now use Trinity.
From this linked article: https://www.the-sun.com/news/8193316/huge-bansky-mural-plast...

It says:
>But after the Coutts’ were told by Suffolk council it would cost tens of thousands of pounds to maintain every year - they made the decision to have it removed.

Mr Coutts told The Times: “At first it was obviously incredible but as things have gone on it has become extremely stressful. I’m not sure Banksy realises the unintended consequences on homeowners. If we could turn back the clock, we would.

“We had the council get in touch to tell us that they could put a preservation order on the piece and we would be responsible for maintaining it at a cost of £40,000 a year.
It’s both true. Their maintenance was delayed for years because of that political decision to shut them down, which worsened the situation.

And for the record: I never claimed that the decision to shut them down wasn’t politically motivated, I just pointed out multiple reasons why it wasn’t completely bonkers. The way you phrased your point also makes it pretty transparent why misinformation campaigns work so well. You once heard one part of the story and now believe to understand a very multilayered situation.
That's crazy. I have small kids and the doctors never give antibiotics. They just say it's something viral and to give Tylenol / Ibuprofen to treat discomfort. The daycare doesn't have any rule like that either they just check for fevers and they have to stay out until no fever for 24 hours. When one was really sick with croup they gave him some steroids but that's it. We have even switched doctors 3x and always been the case.
This varies country by country. In Switzerland you need to beg for antibiotics if you think you need them.
Painting over it could be considered a work of performance art like when the KLF burned a million quid.
Valve and Nintendo have no working relationship. There is an approximately 0% chance that Nintendo, as a game publisher, will ever publish on Steam. This is a pessimistic move by the legal department, nothing more.
Dang. Now this makes me wonder if Annihilation is based on Stalker.
My personal recommendation for a Tarkovsky's first is his diploma film The Steamroller and the Violin (1960, 46 min, co-written with Andrei Konchalovsky).
It was surprisingly watchable [for me] and I wish I had watched it first myself before I was exposed to the Mirror when I was 16.

Its the "god made it" argument, to which the next question should be "who made god?" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_the_creator_of_Go...
I guess it just goes to show that even a juggernaut like Valve cowers in fear to appease Nintendo's lawyers.

I saw a few weeks ago some coverage of the first E3 where Nintendo's entire presentation was about the dangers of the internet and software piracy and it was really enlightening and hilarious.

Here's a video with some commentary: https://youtu.be/uMuJWADkMYY?t=1787
They're talking about the wall that the mural was painted upon.
You ignored the part about me saying this is a conservative estimate, you ignored the part about me saying some users need this a lot more & can make huge differences for them, and you ignore the idea that small time saved can aggregate into meaningful help.

Brow beating with phrases like "you need to brush up on" is more pointedly negative argumentation from a camp that is actively trying to disbelieve.
Over the pandemic and thereafter my family has had a lot of deaths in it. So, I've been forced to think about it a lot, to sit with others over it, and to just deal with a lot of the mundane parts of it too.

Death is horrible. It makes no sense. When people say they have had a 'loss', they're not kidding. You feel like that person should still be there, but like a kid at Disneyland, they are lost to you and you're searching for them. I'm dealing with a fair few relatives that just are not processing all these losses. Grief is a strange, personal, and unique thing too. It manifests personally and yet stereotypically for every individual.

That said, I think Death is the way.

The reasoning is complex and long. So, I'll try to sum it up for a simple comment, and I'll do that poorly, sorry.

The big reason stem from this article on Wikipedia. I think it's one of the best there is on the whole site:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_far_future

Say you were truly immortal. That timeline would be your future, as far as we currently understand physics. You get to spend a lot of time between universes if the last entry is to be believed. In fact, they don't even bother with giving the units. Nanoseconds or gigayears are pretty much the same st those timescales. Our time here on Earth is essentially as brief as the entire non-black-hole era to an immortal like that. Purgatory in the black void is more like what such an immortal would experience.

Or say you get to relive your life when you die. Poof, you're reborn to your folks and have all your memories again somehow. Repeat forever. You're doomed to live and die the same life, like 'Groundhog Day', but for ~80 years long and not just a day. Another purgatory after enough lives, I'd guess. Sisyphean.

Heaven, hell. An afterlife is our best hope. Somewhere we can't possibly understand with our minds right now. A total lack of understanding of the life hereafter is the only path where you retain something of you. Where you can grow and change, time can continue in, I dunno, 7 dimensions. I've not a clue, and I think that's great. If I did, right now I think you'd just end up in a form of purgatory given enough time.

But an endless dreamless night is just fine too. In no other way except an afterlife that I cannot possibly understand do we get to have 'happily ever after'. I think everyone would take that Socratic apology given enough time and I think they'd be right to do so.

I dunno, been sitting on this a while, and it's late for me and, again, sorry that this is a brief and jumbled comment.
Could, but haven't yet. Seems like they need to spray it with paint remover ASAP, preferably at night.
I mean, let's not throw the toddler (recording the freakout) out with the bathwater (posting it). They and family might enjoy the video as one of those "I was such an adorable little shit" kind of retrospective, privately of course.
We're coming at this a bit different - b/c you're leaning on explaining the current legal framework in the united states, while I'm trying to come to a holistic morally consistent set of rules that makes sense

> Being a user isn't what gives you rights under copyright law. Being a legal owner of a copy of a game is what matters.

This is meaningless legal/semantic gymnastics. If that's your definition of "owning a legal copy" then companies will simply not sell you a "legal copy" and instead will give you an "indefinite lease" or some other jargon they make up. Or make you sign an EULA.

The fact that "legal copies" are distributed is 99% of the time not because companies want to allow you to copy their games - it's simply a practical limitation on the means of distribution. In the system you describe (which might correspond to the current reality) a cloud streamed game just inherently will always have more legal protection that a physically distributed game. There is no way to transmit a person executable bits without "loosing control" of them.

The big cloud providers would love this reality! The end result is that everyone is compelled, by market forces in effect, to shift their distribution to a jankier alternative because the physical medium doesn't allowed the same level of IP control.

So in the end your societal objectives are not achieved. It's in fact severely hampered.

- People get a worse products - everything turns to online streamed garbage

- People loose complete access at the whim of the company - when they decide to shut down their servers.

- The IP never ever reaches the public domain b/c it's never "distributed"

The game is eventually probably lost to time as some intern wipes the last copy from some backupdisk

You also create a weird universe where linear media that's streamed and can be captured (eg. a movie or a book) can be copied b/c you necessarily received "every bit" while something nonlinear like games can't - b/c you never get all the bits to "rerun" it locally. The whole setup is just nonsensical
- I wouldn't want to cover it up also because I wouldn't want to deal with stress and controversy over such

Isn't graffiti art supposed to be ephemeral by nature? Banksy could have put that seagull on a wall of his own, or on a canvas.

100 liters of white latex, one afternoon, and all the troubles disappear. The art was up for a while, now it's gone, poignant moments were had by all and let's move on.

We have moved the goalpost for intelligence but not for self. There are also programs to model the units of the human brain but I am not aware of programs that model the self.

Lets assume you've found, or will find, all possible technical optimizations for your AI spend on ChatGPT.

You can:

* Ask for donations

* Accept a $50/day cost for X days as a market research budget to find a monetization plan

* Have some "first 5 questions are free, next are paid (or whatever)" to rate limit cost while maybe raising revenue

* Look for a common pattern of questions to see if there's some value / insight into your users that can be used as a source of revenue

* Find a cheaper LLM that supports your needs while being serviceable

* Pull the plug because its a joke, claim credit for it, and take the learnings onto the next thing

Maybe we should start with that to explain intersectionality in southern states. :)
> A cached POST response can be reused to satisfy a later GET or HEAD request. In contrast, a POST request cannot be satisfied by a cached POST response because POST is potentially unsafe; see Section 4 of [CACHING].

So if you are using POST to query, you can't cache the response. You have to resort to POST/GET. With QUERY, you have idempotent requests with cacheable responses you can directly return.
I remember blue checks were being given out for free mostly to celebrities, do you have a source on him doing so for gold ones?

As an aside I'm not a big fan of the lack of diligence in verifying orgs for the gold check, it's enabling a lot of bad actors who are willing to pay the thousand dollars for a quick crypto scam.

The emperor’s power didn’t matter as much as his central importance in their religion. He was like a god, and the Postdam Declaration didn’t make it clear that the emperor would be safe. Hence why it was rejected.

https://homework.study.com/explanation/why-did-japan-reject-...

I may have misremembered reading about this years ago. I don’t think the terms changed, but there’s an argument that if the US was more clear about the emperor’s position post-surrender, the Japanese would have surrendered much sooner.
The article reports (emphasis mine):

I'd note it would be helpful if the image crate weren't necessary as a direct dependency - the ability to render the image by Path would be helpful. Additionally, the charsets are all in main.rs, would be helpful to be factored into the library. Also termcolor as a dependency could be masked. I did however get my logo rendering and it looks sweet! How does it choose the characters?
