Build a datacenter, also build X wind turbines. Carbon credits allow for a lot of diffusion of responsibility. Investing in concrete projects with easy to calculate effects seems much better.
There's more nuance, in that it's not just a one-way transfer, and education is not just subsidized by the country.

On the former, Phillipines are sailant example of sending people abroad to get goods and money back, but this happens at some scale for all other countries with a significant emigration. The money fed back in the original country is usually not something to sneeze at.

The other part is, education benefits everyone beyond the single individuals. Having a strong enough education programs that opens the door to move to other countries with strong requirements is an asset that also benefits the origin country. In most countries only a small portion will go abroad, so improving the overall level of students stays important, and the bigger the pool the more you have inter-student emulation + economy of scale effect.

Also the monney spent by the country into education is not just for single children and has a global societal effect.

All in all, IMHO it's not a black and white as "that kid wasted our tax dollars by going abroad"
Before Reddit, there were forums for every kind of interest. Reddit took care of the technical side of managing a forum, it was easier to stand up a subreddit for your fandom or hobby than purchasing a domain, setting up whatever PHP forum software, database and so on.

If all those things were easier - maybe dirt-cheap turnkey hosting for something federated like Lemmy or whatever - then perhaps the answer to "viable Reddit competitor" is no Reddit at all, but just each subreddit go off and do its own thing. Your stamp-collecting forum doesn't need Reddit scale, it just needs a donate button for a few bucks a month, and if it's connected to the Fediverse then people can use a single login or app to switch between all their forums like they do with subreddits with a single federated timeline/notifications to keep them posted.
Thinking what Apple sells is a GPU bundled with a large amount of VRAM and a free ARM CPU makes things easier to accept.

NVIDIA never sold a GPU with expandable memory, either.

Which one do you mean by “the denial argument”? (and why do you use that term instead of something unambiguous like “lab leak” or “zoonotic origin” hypotheses?)

As to which of the two hypotheses is more predicated on politics, I think there are more generally left-leaning people who are swayed by the lab leak (circumstantial) evidence, than there are right-leaning people who are swayed by the zoonotic origin (circumstantial) evidence. This perception may be mistaken, but assuming I’m correct, this would suggest that the zoonotic origin hypothesis is more likely to be predicated on politics.

Edit: typo
Be more clear about what, specifically, they think they are doing to compensate.

Not "we are offsetting our carbon" but "we know this is bad for the environment so we are trying to contribute to a better world by also investing in X".
This subject triggers generally mid-brow responses from people that have gotten far enough in the insight porn genre that they realize that the carbon offset / credit markets are not entirely well-managed and have decided that offsets are totally bogus.

If you're someone legitimately interested in the subject, I suggest you avoid this comment thread. Very few informed participants. Mostly blog post outrage candidates.

Huh..

China population is 1.4 billion, they managed to become a global power in record time, they are totally self reliant and self sufficient, they built their own industries from pharma, to tech, to agriculture, to defense, to space, they developed their own COVID vaccine, they built their own space station (the US still rely on a soviet made one), and they plan a manned moon mission in less than 7 years

Not even Germany can pretend having done that

I just think the possibility of war is the most important issue in the world right now. The less people who are aware of the danger or the more people willfully blind to how close the threshold is to being passed, the more likely we'll autopilot into war.
That's called "expressing an opinion." What world would we live in if the very fact we wanted to talk about something meant we couldn't?

You're welcome to write a rebuttal but you're attacking the messenger repeatedly instead.

Awesome. I've had a very similar idea for about as long, the main difference is you did something about it and I navel gazed. Awesome to see this idea of paying into this instead of users being the product.

No one's saying they're stupid for participating. If I was offered thousands of dollars for peeing in my pants in public for a video, I'd very probably take the offer and no one would think I was stupid for it; it would still be a demeaning and exploitative offer to make.

If so, congrats. I'll keep searching and be glad some rags to riches site came about in a time of multibillion dollar empires.

>these sites are for entertainment not elucidation and discovery.

put it this way. I've been on the internet for decades, and I know that to really find quality content you gotta either pay for it in money behind a paywall, or in a lot of time digging through the muck. I have done both.

I'm not going to pretend there won't be a lot of muck to dig through here, even with the idea of a paid subscription site. But the goal here is that there will be enough nuggets underneath to make it worth it. And currently, that line is pretty low given what I dig through reddit to find.
So your solution here is to lower ourselves at his level?

Not pedantic, but spot on! In the main US metro areas land is >70% of the value of property [0].

Which is why Land Value Taxes (LVT) are an important piece of the strategy. Heavily or entirely taxing the value of the land but not the buildings allows you to discourage speculation and recoups the value that is generated by the society while not burdening new development.

That said, AFAIK, Japan has been able to foment a market where houses do depreciate, even in Tokyo which has grown considerably. I don't think they have LVTs but the ability to just keep building and their willingness to tear down old (>30 yr) buildings helps a lot.

I think you sort of do it indirectly. You frame your counter-response in a way that is likely to garner the support and upvotes of the opposing camp (opposing to post you're arguing with). Battle lines having been drawn, the internet goes to war.
It’s never enough. This guy is throwing millions towards others and helping their lives, but because he’s not suffering enough to do it, or doing it out of your defined pure intentions, it’s hardly good at all? It’s clear you care more about the sacrificial theater of giving than you do about actual impact.

What good have you done for anyone but yourself in the last month? Do you even fulfill your own standards? Is any charity less than implementing your preferred political policies useless? It’s hard to even describe how childish and selfish your take is.
You nailed it, securities law doesn't make sense if you don't apply it to finance. Not sure that really advances the rest of the claims.
> Inter Partes Review process in ways that look very much like an abuse of the system

That's rich considering that IPRs were basically invented to give big companies the upper hand. For a while, they ran in parallel to actual district court litigations over the subject patents! Even now, they'll stay litigations! The same exact defendant, instituting a parallel challenge of the same exact patent, but in a pseudo court! IPRs are abuses of the system!

It is fascinating to see old friends fall into this trap. Things seem great for the first few months but eventually the same old issues arise with time.

There is a stereo type in Australia that the British complain about the country once here. A big part of this is believed to be that they leave their country to start over in a place that looks completely different, start a new job and meet new people only to find that they fall into all the same issues. Rather than realize the issues are just a part of the society, they can tend to blame the country instead.

That said I used to work with someone from Nigeria, very smart fella, they had a lot of issues with the country but also understood why they left their country. All they said was "Different country, similar poison. Just pick your flavor." They fundamentally got the issue at hand.
Great news but I'd like to know how does it compare with just using torchlib.

If this is faster than torchlib this optimizations should flow to torchlib as well

Love the idea of not having to deal with python, though; dependency management is just horrible, I'd much rather have ML projects written in cpp.

Nothing wrong with expressing an opinion, it's just sad to consistently see these highly biased and political opinions being upvoted on a website that's supposedly about rational thinking, not political incentives. I would expect upvoted articles here to strike a fair balance in presenting both sides of the argument, not just one.
Are you registered with DMCA at copyright.gov and do you check the hashes of uploaded images against any CSAM databases like PhotoDNA?
I think you may be mixing up some memories? tortoiseCVS was (is?) a Windows product and has nothing to do with BBEdit (which only runs on MacOS). I don't recall BBEdit ever imposing restrictions on CVS repositories (and I used it extensively with those for a decade, though only since about 1999).

I am also confused by what point you are trying to make regarding FTP? "Web devs wanted to upload files via FTP" sounds pretty normal for a website 15-20 years ago? Of course it also unclear when your story takes place...
To be fair there is dirt-cheap turnkey hosting of things like web forums. Remember those cPanel webhosts where you'd pay $5/month or something and then you'd be given a list of PHP programs you could host. Or there were those various free forum hosts that would only start charging over a certain margin of traffic. Some would even let you use your own domain name without paying for the hosting, but I think most kept use of your own domain name as a premium feature.

You could set up a phpBB forum or something like that almost for free on one of the cheap DIY webhosts like nearlyfreespeech, but you'd need to take the time to install. It would still be pretty easy though.

These things still exist. But people will switch to Discord instead because most subreddits seem to have discords already.
> Are you saying that poorly written patents should be litigated,

Why shouldn't they? Courts don't necessarily invalidate contracts just because one flaw might be present. The point of the system isn't to just invalidate patents because someone else wants to... it's to fairly adjudicate the boundaries of granted patents. You are starting from 2nd base!
This article is from 2019. Which, to be honest, was a completely different economic environment. I'd be very interested to see a chart today, post massive mega overhiring by all the tech companies. Would expect the math / physics / compsci bucket to have even higher numbers.
Huh. I would argue companies should also work to reduce their “scope 3” emissions by reducing unnecessary travel and maybe even reducing commutes of their employees.
There's absolutely nothing political about this. When did the technocapitalists become the snowflakes?

Again, we await your cutting dissection of, well, anything from this horrid bias-ridden article your peers saw fit to upvote.
It's interesting to think there is one valid answer here. Your answer is societally accepted as "correct", however I think the "I got enough to make ends meet (and then some) & my kids will have to also figure it out (maybe with a safety net from me if needed)" is also a consistent and valid reply.
If you want to correct false information by providing correct information neutrally, you're welcome to do so. But it's not ok to get triggered into posting a bunch of low-information objections. That kind of thing just contributes to general degeneration, and we're trying to avoid that here.
> A tiny, and some might argue irrelevant, part of the US fintech industry is moving offshore.

You'd better be very sure of its irrelevancy before sending it all to the UK, where they're embracing it with a clear regulatory framework. If you are right, the US pushes a small ("irrelevant") amount of crime offshore. But in the off chance you are wrong, the USA risks losing their position as the world's financial superpower. This is not a gamble you want to take if there's even a very small chance that this technology could catch on.

> Crypto to me feels like fusion, it's super relevant, and you just wait some time, you'll see! and then there is another year and another decade and it is still not relevant.

It gets discussed multiple times per week on Hacker News. It's talked about constantly in congress. It's beginning to polarize people so much that it creates single issue voters in both directions. The word "NFT" has been etched into the public's consciousness as a meme. Banks and central governments are issuing bonds and other paper on public blockchains. The US is itself planning a version of the US dollar with a design inspired by distributed ledger technology. More than 1 in 5 Americans own cryptocurrency now. I don't know what measure of "relevant" you are using, but it's obviously very different from mine.
I'm trying to put myself into spez's shoes. If I were him, I would sue. Sure... It's quite benign at surface level, but I'd definitely sue if this became popular.

Reddit is still a low-barriers-of-entry community for people who are often marginalized.

Lots of women-centered subreddits (like twoxchromosomes) didn't go dark because there's more at stake for the average woman than the most committed of Apollo users.

Imagine if reddit could get this kind of solidarity around something that will actually change the world for the better. It's as if no one taught us how collective action works.

Excals are not very high precision in my experience, and definitely not "one shot one kill."

So we should hum, listen to people who say poor people who become "banked" by buying bitcoin ? Crypto is a clown car, so it's hard to make a balanced point on it: either you want to sell your snake oil or you point out it's just snake oil.

This is such an odd take to me. I’m in a rural area, and I live in 15 acres.

We have pretty much every profession in the area. Teachers, lawyers, doctors, software engineers, etc. You’re probably out of luck if you’re, say, an actuary.

The real difference is you’re not going to reacher the professional peaks that you can in a city. You can be a lawyer, but you’re not going to be able to become some hotshot partner at a big, well known firm. You also might not be able to specialize in what you want. You can be a software engineer, but maybe not one that specializes in machine learning.

Of course, nowadays we have WFH and you very well might be able to have your cake and eat it too. That’s part of the reason I’m quitting my job as a wedding photographer and moving back into the SWE space this winter.
I remember Crockford's lectures at Yahoo in 2009, and they were inspiring, but in the hindsight, most his bold points turned out incorrect.

#1: The promise of high speed with event loop & JIT compiler. Crockford's idea was that if you make small functions that return quickly, JIT will boost their speed drammatically. Plus, fast yielding would make programs seem faster for the client.

By then, Google Chrome wrote impressively fast JS engine, but later the speed of JS didn't improve much. JIT-based languages and engines didn't match performance -- I myself tried Pypy, and it wasn't fast like C.

I must give him credit that his lectures made me finally get how the event loop works.

#2: That Promises and async would make async programming much easier. Promises do make code better than callback hell, but still are tedious. The side costs of async are well summarized in this post & presentation:
https://vorpus.org/blog/notes-on-structured-concurrency-or-g...

#3: Object construction with closure function. We tried that wholeheartedly at contemporary project, and it was awkward. I haven't seen any popular framework do this approach either.

#4: Decentralized web evangelism in mid-'10s. This is a bittorrent concept extrapolated to web hosting, later it got traction branded as Web3. It's clear by torrents that they work only when everyone cooperates, and carries some serious load, otherwise torrents die out. The decentralized web requires every user to host a good bit of data, and any document published puts this load on everyone in the system. As with Ted Nelson's concept, it makes sense only in small environment of cooperating users.

That being said, Crockford's lectures were interesting for history part, and he made a good point that one should looki into history and see what is logical and progressive, what we got just accidentally and it stays as legacy.
