The distinction between locals in general, and librarians in particular, can be very important, in light of ideological litmus test librarians may have needed to pass on their way through academia:

It doesn't cost nearly as much as they charge though. Otherwise, private equity wouldn't be getting involved.
They are already having these conversations.

There is no state in the US that does not recognize a marriage by a judge or self-certified "minister" of no particular religious affiliation. There's also no requirement to be married in one's state of residence, or even country. It's absolutely trivial to arrange the legal status of marriage.
The difference is that in personal mortgages the house isn't expected to be cash flow positive.

The bank extending a residential mortgage is securing against default with the asset (house), but they're guaranteeing the income stream (mortgage payments) against the buyer's income.

With a leveraged buyout, you potentially impinge the company's ability to generate cash (with additional debt payments and dividends)... which gets back to the parent's point about borrowing someone else's money.
I wrote this because salary negotiation and interviewing is hard, and I thought that a way for a candidate and prospective employer to share their numbers privately would be useful.

Each party shares a range and at the end they can see if they have significant overlap (green), minimal (yellow) or none (red). This helps each side determine if they want to proceed, without either one having to share numbers.

I know having it run on an s3 bucket URL is not a long term solution, but wanted to get something running; I plan to put it behind a HTTPS cloudfront URL soon.

Note that in some locations, salary requirements must be shared, but I've seen quite wide ranges. This tool might also be helpful in sharing more precise ranges after an initial screen, for example.
If you have elderly parents, do what you can to be involved with their lives.

There are so many scammers! So many companies looking to milk the elderly for all they can. It's beyond disgusting, and it happens DAILY.

Simple things... man I don't even know, teach your elderly parents not to trust anyone. Only going to get harder with AI here.

I'm glad to hear that, even if it's not particularly relevant to this thread, but still worthwhile hearing about.

It doesn't clear up why you think a free market and regulations are opposites.
It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids, without the knowledge of the individual, certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.
No you won't. Pick any finite time you will check. It may not stop by then, yet may stop later. So ahead of time, even if the program will stop, you cannot make a plan to learn that in finite time. You're stuck letting run possibly forever, because at each finite time you still cannot answer yes or no. Only if you've waited long enough, which can be arbitrarily far out, and it stops, can you answer.
I typically travel with my family of 3-4 people. I also prefer to use a fresh towel if I shower after a workout or some other interval that doesn’t align with housekeeping.

And honestly, what’s the bfd? The marginal cost of washing a towel should easily be supported by my $350/night expense to stay at Hampton Inn or whatever.

The cheapness has moved beyond that now. I’ve encountered properties who refuse to refresh sheets now, or require a request to be made at a time like 3pm, when you arrive at 8pm.

You’re missing the distinction here between incompetence and malice. One member of leadership acted maliciously; the fact that they were successful indicates that leadership as a whole was missing some controls (formal or otherwise). The latter party is analogous to whichever engineer accidentally brought down prod, whom our post-mortems should not blame—but the former is not.

If some dirtbag got angry about being passed over for a promotion, got offers for a new gig, and then rage-deleted prod at 5pm on their last day, you get to blame that dude at the post-mortem.
The main factor could be that there is no other successful CMS + web server engine _at that scale_ out there. There's plenty of other options if you have the money or the skills, but both of theses are eternally in low supply.

Abusing a blog engine to make it run small EC sites becomes a cheap and half manageable route. Even for super simple things like a site with a presentation page and a contact form, a wordpress blog is faster to set up, cheaper and more manageable and ultimately more reputable than many solution out there (the "cheaper" part being of course the more critical aspect)
>There are many cultures in the US. They way you describe it seems very old fashioned, which is not that common these days.

I think single income households will make a comeback. Increasingly, domestic work, such as childcare, cooking, cleaning, etc., is so expensive that you'd need to make an above average wage just to afford it. A lot of the work is low "productivity" and does not lend itself to automation.
As an aside, your gums and tongue will absorb a lot - think about chewing tobacco, people putting cocaine on their gums, pills you leave under your tongue. This is also why resorts will tell you to brush your teeth with bottled water.

While it obviously absorbs less than eating any compound, it still absorbs quite a bit!
I wouldn't believe anything marketed as "perpetual" or "unlimited." The real limit is either written in the fine print, or you're just begging for the rug to be pulled out from under you later when they do change the fine print. These words are nonsense marketing-speak, and it's surprising people fall for them.
The Nevada Gaming Commission maintains the rules, but I'm pretty sure they aren't statutes and the NGC can change them without passing a law (and they have done this for slot machine randomness, by the way). In many states without a gaming commission, the rules of gambling games are defined by statute.
And what metric do you think they're measuring to capture marriage the christian sacrament?
Ah, I found the doctrinal/partisan language after following some links.

I don't see how pornographic bans wouldn't qualify as "doctrinal" though they are not particularly partisan.
Based on your post it doesn't seem to be working.

> de facto ban on those book

Are you implying these books are so unpopular that a good chunk of their influence and profitability is very much dependent on left-wing public school librarians subsidizing them by making sure they are included in the catalogues?

We should remember that a school library has limited space, so a decision is being made about what to include no matter what.

If you think ideology/doctrine doesn't already play a role in these decisions, I invite you to check if the library of your local high school has a physical copy of say "When Harry Became Sally", "The Bell Curve", or even "The Blank Slate".

In principle, my libertarian side would have agreed with you that imposing these choices in a centralized way is not a good idea. But those principles are only meaningful in a classical liberal context. Not when scourges of affirmative action, indoctrination, ideological subsidies [1] and pseudo-liberal bureaucratic processes are used to impose ludicrous ideas upon us.

There are oral probiotics available, which aim to do just this. I'm not sure if any clinical trials have investigated their efficacy, however.
I’m very much anti fluoride in drinking water. And did not buy fluoride tooth paste for my kids until they learned to spit.

But 1) kids brush teeth to form a healthy habit, and protect their gums. Kids who do not brush teeth often develop gum disease which can cause tooth loss in the future as adults.

2) residual fluoride isn’t anything to worry about. Just spit the toothpaste out. If you’re super worried about fluoride then look for calcium fluoride toothpaste which is not poisonous.

3) sloshing vodka or whiskey around doesn’t remove plague from your teeth and you will suffer tooth decay regardless.

I prefer it’s displaying abductive reasoning. It’s able to produce likely answers with limited information or confounding information. It’s a type of reasoning that falls between inductive and deductive reasoning, and is a type of reasoning AI has been before now poor at.

Note that reasoning isn’t itself accurate in that LLMs have no agency. But they display characteristics of abductive reasoning. By integrating LLMs into goal based agents and tying them together with inductive and deductive solvers, optimizers, and IR systems you can probably get very close to a system that can truly reason.
Ask HN: How accurate is flatkill.org now?
Over the many years whenever someone discusses Flatpak it was very common to have a link to [1] which lists issues with Flatpak. In the last few years the platform seems to have been improved and is now being used on a lot more systems out-of-the-box like the Steam Deck (with SteamOS) and Fedora also enabling it by default now.

So, do the claims on flatkill.org hold merit still?

Right, there is not shared meaning, so maybe that’s the point of my post. To me 19th century Lithuanians had a real book ban, as I as an American, think about them.

If a school decided to ban Twinkies from their lunch menu I wouldn’t say we have a food ban crisis that the state of Illinois would need to legislate. A parent could still buy Twinkies at home and enjoy them as often as they wanted.
There is no need to tweak the odds. Every machine is scheduled exactly to give a certain amount back while raking a profit. They're not there for you to profit, at least in the long term.

An example of this is the simple claw machines. One was full of teddy bears and I knew the operator. He told me point blank the machine will drop 16/17 times, "someone's got to pay for the teddies, and he ain't me!"

What bothers me about "hallucinates" is the removal of agency. When a human is hallucinating, something is happening to them that is essentially out of their control and they are suffering the effects of it, unable to tell truth from fiction, a dysfunction that they will recover from.

But that's not really what happens with ChatGPT. The model doesn't know truth from fiction in the first place, but the whole point of a useful LLM is that there is some level of control and consistency around the output.

I've been using "bullshitting", because I think that's really what ChatGPT is demonstrating -- not a disconnection from reality, but not letting truth get in the way of a good story.
> I'd never want to work with a company that doesn't trust me with a regular notebook.

The value proposition has nothing to do with trust.
Ascribing "hallucination" to an algorithm does reinforce anthropomorphizing however.
Haha, yes! I'm not successfully arbing this. I'm one of many taxpaying suckers who were originally suckered by the industry and are now suckered by private equity. Boot tastes the same.
Amen. :) You're preaching to the choir. Health and wellness blogs generally service the theater of the placebo and hivemind ignorance bordering on mysticism.
> refer widely, if not exclusively,

usually means

1. is usually exclusive
2. if not exclusive, then is the case in the majority of cases

The proposed case that "Book Bans" refer almost exclusively to school libraries is obviously false if you just take a look at a dictionary. It is evidently not "widely known to mean X" if common definitions do not explicitly state that.

All definitions state that it is an act of banning a book. But do not explicitly state that it is exclusive to some arbitrary bureaucratic level.

Either way, it is strange to just decide that a "Book Ban" must refer almost exclusively to a school.

And yes, this is semantics.
Lawyer. Keep them on a short leash, they can fuck it up. At the very least consult one and pay for it up front not in arrears to some subsequent drama. Possibly even use a disposable good lawyer to avoid being over amped. If they know there's no subsequent business they may be more dispassionate.

It may be impossible to remain amicable once you lawyer up. Using "I saw a lawyer" or "I am seeing a lawyer" as a weapon won't help you.

Have you thought about a formal external mediator? Doesn't have to be a lawyer, could be interesting to facilitate the difference between you.

People want different things in life. Sometimes the differences are irreconcilable.

Do you have VC funding who you could discuss this with? Do you have a mentor? You probably need somebody in the business space who can advise you f2f not randoms online.

Not me. I tried to help a friend (at his request) in a situation around IPR and I fucked it up, he isn't a friend any more and nor is the other party. Don't want to be that guy ever again.
My understanding is that some water sources naturally contain fluoride anyhow so this isn’t a great comparison. From the sources I read awhile ago they started fluoride additives because it was known that certain areas like Texas had bad teeth.

Uh... what's perplexing about the fact that the government wants banks to offer loans?
> Adults who are 21 are less likely than their predecessors four decades ago

It usually takes four years to graduate college, if you go at 18 that means you exit at age 22. Seems that people going to college more now than they did 40 years ago could have a huge impact on this result.

Using more words does not make you not misogynistic. ChatGPT can also spew endless pages of superficially coherent but intellectually devoid text, and is also entitled to the same amount of entertained debate.
> Cohabitation has become a popular alternative; living together is a less complicated relationship model that comes with an easy escape hatch (compared with marriage) if the relationship fails

This seems like a bit of a false promise... Once you commingle finances, own a house together, have children, and so on, there's no "easy escape hatch." Plus thinking of having an "easy escape hatch" probably does not do wonders for the relationship.

> There are two main types of geoengineering. The first is removing carbon from the environment to restore pre-Industrial levels. While carbon removal is necessary, it will take over a century to remove and sequester the carbon already present in the atmosphere and oceans.

We're on an engineering (among other things) forum, and it's surprising that technological solutions to the global climate problem aren't discussed enough. This statement illustrates another problem - "space" technologists assume that carbon cleaning would take "over a century", while some "carbon-cleaning" technologists assume space-related solutions will take too long. And in this thread there's also an opinion that, since we don't know much about global cooling, we should redouble our efforts elsewhere.

On the other hands, we seem to need all of that. We try political solutions, and they work - too bad so far, even though they do show some progress. We start talking about technological approaches - like, take a billionaire and a tech program, make an analysis (it's a sticky part) and then actually try to do something (aerosols? ocean seeding? pulverized minerals which react with CO2? space shadow? direct carbon capture from atmosphere?). We shouldn't tie our hands to the point of inaction, because inaction is also costly. And yes, we need more traditional approaches too - pressure on politicians, economical means of stick and carrot to get the intended results, green energy approaches - but in addition, not instead, since so far we're badly lagging.
I know Process and Reality is exceedingly popular among certain circles but I really struggled to make it through the book and I'm not sure I enough out of it to justify the effort trying to parse the text.

At some point, we will probably want to actively manage Earth’s climate via space-based solar radiation management. We might also consider doing the same for Mars if we ever decide to settle on it.

However, we’re going to need to draw down CO2 over the course of this century regardless, and we can probably use stratospheric aerosol injection at a tiny fraction of the cost and for a decade or two if necessary during the process of drawdown.

As such, it doesn’t seem like this kind of space-based shelter is justifiable as a response to the warming we are currently dealing with.
Censoring external link is also a pain. Web is dying.
The rejection, or at least non-acceptance, of The Narrow Bank's (TNB) application does seem to imply that there is some kind of controlled narrative being worked towards that TNB doesn't comply with.

The more that politics disconnects from working 'for the people', the more examples will come to the fore of logical solutions such as TNB being rejected or outlawed or regulated into an inability to function because the very fact that they're logical solutions means that they're working against political agendas that are incompatible with 'the reality on the ground'.
Ah, that makes sense. I sort of assumed it would be similar in distinction to something like a "Local Doctor". The doctor would still have local biases (sometimes pseudo-scientific) towards specific treatments or methodology.

My wife and I are both successful professionals and we’re just now buying our first place in Southern California at almost 40. Meanwhile, a single guy I work with is buying a house at double the price we bought ours for at the age of 25. How? Mommy and daddy helped out with a downpayment. It just is what it is. We’re proud we did it on our own.
My spouse of 10 years is the child of serially married and divorced boomers. After seeing one of the parental units go through marriage #3 as a teenager they have zero interest in the whole song and dance and I don't blame them. Anyways, married or not, the feelings are the same and we go on living life the way we want to. Who cares?

Also, if civil marriages didn't exist today and I tried to propose "hey, let's invent a system where you register who you're fucking with the government", you'd think i was insane. Rightly so.

The article specifically mentions this as a contributing factor.
I'm certain this vulnerability does bring value to some, especially people like the original commenter. However, consider that it's possible to gain something similar in value without certain risks? My wealth is not my most important part of my life but it is valuable. Why should I risk the ability to retire, to travel as well as the security of finances, when I find so much meaning in the world already? Why do I need marriage, of all things, to another person, when I already have so much to do and see?

From my perspective, it would be if i recommended to someone that wanted money to play roulette. Sure, you may win. But the odds don't seem to be in your favor and there are more dependable ways of achieving what you want, without relying on random factors outside of your control.

However, i won't denigrate your way of living if you won't denigrate mine. On the contrary, I'm happy that some have found happiness and meaning even in such risky and perhaps old-fashioned ways.
