This is misinformation. The definition hasn't changed for at least the past five years. [1] GPT-4 translation of the relevant paragraph:

"Our country's labor force survey also adopts the International Labour Organization's statistical standards for employment and unemployment. According to our country's laws, only those who are 16 years old and above can legally work. Hence, the employed population refers to people aged 16 and above who worked at least one hour during the reference period (usually one week) to earn labor compensation or business income. This includes employees who are on leave or temporarily not working. The unemployed population refers to those aged 16 and above who have no job but have actively sought work within the past three months and could start work within two weeks if suitable employment were available.

The use of international standards for the definitions of employment and unemployment ensures the comparability of our country's unemployment rate data with data from other countries. This is especially important today as our economy increasingly integrates into the international system. Furthermore, our labor force survey targets the permanent population aged 16 and above, regardless of whether they have registered as unemployed. It identifies employment and unemployment status according to international standards, enabling our country's unemployment rate data to reflect the actual state of the labor market more comprehensively."

Yep. I still want to go to HR, but my plan is to go along with several influential (and internally liked) SVPs, where one of them can be like, "This Foof guy has a presentation on something important the company should do" to better ensure it gets done. It won't benefit me at this point, but it'll likely benefit the HR employee, and benefit potentially a thousand other employees. Very little effort to functionally give employees extra long-term money.

Another optimization I did was taking advantage of having BOTH a Traditional IRA and Roth IRA. So the advantage here is bonds that aren't tax-exempt get extra benefit from being in a Roth. One major benefit of a Roth IRA is that virtually all income earned within its protective shell is free from taxation. There are no dividend taxes, no interest taxes, no rent taxes, and no capital gains taxes. So the optimization you make at the custodian is keeping as much of the taxable bonds as possible in the Roth IRA, while keeping the Traditional IRA equity heavy, while still keeping on track with your target asset allocation.

These small differences add up to meaningful numbers after decades. Granted, the most important thing is contributing as much as you are comfortable with as early as possible -- compounding over 40+ years is a huge difference over compounding over 30 years.
Sure, except that "at a minimum" assumes that exponential growth function continues and more than keeps pace with growth in total energy demand.

TRT forums are kind of fascinating because they're full of people who though (or, sadly, were convinced by TRT clinics) that TRT was going to be amazing, solve all of their problems, and make them feel like 20 year olds again.

Then the realities of getting your hormones from imperfect exogenous sources and dealing with all of the imperfect complications thereof set in. A lot of disappointed stories from people who feel marginally better but thought it was going to cure every struggle in their lives. Unfortunately, a lot of people with depression issues also end up in TRT clinics because hypogonadism is a more palatable diagnosis than mental health issues for many.

From that article,

> Analysts familiar with the workings of the Ecuadorean government said Correa’s claims that the decision was entirely Russia’s appeared to be at least partly disingenuous. They said they believed Correa’s administration at first intended to host Snowden, then started back-tracking this week when the possible consequences became clearer.

Nonetheless, thank you for the reminder. It's a fair point.

> if I was a parent and found out my kid's teacher was all "I don't know this topic so you guys just do whatever" I'd be a bit peeved as well.

That's certainly a bad situation, but the teacher's attitude can make a world of difference.

I heard a very interesting response from a student in one of those classes where the teacher didn't know much. Essentially, "This class was really interesting. I never would have learned any of this stuff without (the teacher) taking the risk." The student's other choices were band or study hall, not Advanced Swift with Chris Lattner.

I assume around here people understand that real SW devs easily make twice what a teacher makes, and there's just no way a school could afford someone who "really" knew what they were doing on a technical front. (Of course there are other factors, but suppose you found one cs teacher and they do great work. Now how do you find another? It seems like panning for gold.)

From what I've seen, the vast majority of high schools still hold the belief that CS in a branch of "business", and those in charge know neither pedagogy nor content.

This is either way too cynical or an obvious consequence of the free market economy.

I think things can be done differently, but there are some hard constraints in place.
For a text editor like this a base LLM would be more appropriate, one that does just autocomplete, without being instruction tuned. Unfortunately these base models are either unavailable (GPT-4), outdated (GPT-3/davinci) or otherwise restricted (GPT-3.5 aka code-davinci-002 is only available via Microsoft Azure and more expensive than the instruction tuned GPT-3.5-turbo model).
> "It's amazing when you think of it," said Adell. His broad face had lines of weariness in it, and he stirred his drink slowly with a glass rod, watching the cubes of ice slur clumsily about. "All the energy we can possibly ever use for free. Enough energy, if we wanted to draw on it, to melt all Earth into a big drop of impure liquid iron, and still never miss the energy so used. All the energy we could ever use, forever and forever and forever."

> Lupov cocked his head sideways. He had a trick of doing that when he wanted to be contrary, and he wanted to be contrary now, partly because he had had to carry the ice and glassware. "Not forever," he said.

> "Oh, hell, just about forever. Till the sun runs down, Bert."

> "That's not forever."

> "All right, then. Billions and billions of years. Ten billion, maybe. Are you satisfied?"

> Lupov put his fingers through his thinning hair as though to reassure himself that some was still left and sipped gently at his own drink. "Ten billion years isn't forever."

> "Well, it will last our time, won't it?"

> "So would the coal and uranium."

> "All right, but now we can hook up each individual spaceship to the Solar Station, and it can go to Pluto and back a million times without ever worrying about fuel. You can't do that on coal and uranium. Ask Multivac, if you don't believe me.

> "I don't have to ask Multivac. I know that."

> "Then stop running down what Multivac's done for us," said Adell, blazing up, "It did all right."

> "Who says it didn't? What I say is that a sun won't last forever. That's all I'm saying. We're safe for ten billion years, but then what?" Lupow pointed a slightly shaky finger at the other. "And don't say we'll switch to another sun."

> There was silence for a while. Adell put his glass to his lips only occasionally, and Lupov's eyes slowly closed. They rested.

While there are casinos, think: A farmer wants to get a fixed price for next years crop and insure against a bad harvest. Thats why you need these things.

Ok the farmer example is a trope apparently. Any business where you need to hedge financial risk. Lending too many mortgages to self employed people? Sell that risk / revenue stream on to someone else and buy something different to diversify.
But there are still significant upsides including reduced mortality rates in long term observational studies.

>Data should be a liability.

Exactly. Mandate financial compensation for any and all value derived from data that an individual creates, whether they opted in or not.

If YC ran banner ads and my comment is viewed on the same page as an ad, then I should receive some significant percentage of that ad revenue. If an ad is targeted to a customer on IG through an ad campaign, based on the user's data, then the user should get a significant percentage of that ad.

That should clear everything up.

>Oh defining a framework that defines incarceration is hard so we should just have slavery. Got it.

That is not my argument.

My argument is that incarceration is a subset of slavery. Accepting one specific subset of slavery doesn't mean bringing back chattel slavery or legalizing sexual slavery. You ideally want to prevent any loopholes and keep a very specific limit on what is allowed for prisoners to avoid horrible things we see in modern day prisons and in prisons for the past.

>Slavery means NO days off. If you are sick, you have to get up at 5:30am and go wait in line outside in the freezing snow for sick call (you also have to do this for 'pill line' if you have any meds, though you aren't charged the $5 a pop for that). Sick call costs $5 a visit. You make $5 a month. Then the doctor says 'drink water and take an aspirin' and clears you to go to work. Aspirin is only available from the commissary in large overprices bottles about to expire. You are REQUIRED to throw the bottle away when it is expired or you will get a shot for 'contraband'. You can not share aspirin with others. Hopefully you planned ahead and saved your $5 for 2 months to afford a bottle of aspirin in case you got sick, and it hasn't expired before you get sick. When you get to work, sick, no exception is made for your physical condition. If you work HVAC you're still climbing ladders in the snow to the roof.

Even if you banned any labor, you could still have prisons who have extremely unreasonable charges for goods and services due to the, quite literal, captive audience. Imagine your same situation, except there is no work to get paid. You either have to have an external source of money from before being put in prison, have someone sending you money, or this gets added to a bill that eventually the government will have you repay once you are out of prison. No labor for profit, but still all the problems you point out.

>Slavery means I was forced to shovel the compound with a shovel with a broken handle so exposed fiberglass that cut me up.

Conditions of tools provided in prison are also independent of any notion of labor from profit. You can have a prison where people are given horrible tools for their daily rehabilitation tasks even though there is no profitable labor occurring. If you have people running the prison seeking to torture prisoners, they can do so even in a situation where there is no labor for profit. These are obvious bad things as well, but I don't see how these things being bad relate to my question.

John Carmack probably hasn’t worked a full day in this century.

In the 1990s he was one of the most productive people doing what he loved best. And luckily, after only a few years, never had to have a “job”.

For everyone else, there are marginal returns and higher productivity for shorter working hours — even the burger flipper is more productive in a 4 hour shift than an 8 hour shift.

The extradition treaty between the USA and the UK prohibits political extraditions. Assange's extradition is plainly political. His lawyers argued this point in court. The judges explained that a treaty is not a law so it is irrelevant to an English court. In Britain you literally have no right to challenge an extradition for being contrary to the treaty that enables it.
I think the third one is that police will have no defense if they try to claim they feared for their life, not that they'll stop killing people in clearly not life threatening situations.

Because private insurers have incentive to accurately price risks. If they price them too low, they will go bankrupt. If they price them too high, the competition will steal their customers with lower rates for the same coverage.

The governments, on the other hand, don’t go bankrupt, so when they price the risks too low, the public will be forced to bail it out anyway, either through taxes or through inflation.

This very much is real and serious problem: consider, for example, National Flood Insurance Program, which is exactly the kind of publicly controlled insurance you asked for. It was $25B in the red by August 2017, and would have gone bankrupt if it was private. However, you (and other taxpayers) bailed it out in October 2017 to the tune of $16B. It continues to accumulate debt, and is more than $20B in debt right now. You will bail it out again, and keep subsidizing people who build their houses on flood prone areas, knowing that you will pay for their losses.

Exchanging certificates once a year is... kinda ridiculous in almost every scenario except the one Google envisions when it dictates the Internet, yes. ACME support is making it into enterprise technology, but it'll probably be another five to seven years until it's common. Literally all businesses just have to suffer bull---- processes to cave to "Google felt like doing this, and Google is a monopoly".

And of course, don't worry, Google is ruining ad blocking browser extensions too, for the 70% of users who use their web browser. (This is one of the reasons defenses for Google's behavior so rarely holds... they are attacking users through so many different avenues at once, the justification only holds if you ignore everything else they're currently doing.)

Nobody cares about what pmoriarty1 thinks of a word when the legal and political worlds have well-established meanings for those words; meanings that indicate the parent poster is correct in stating IP rights are not "natural" in genesis.

There is a recent movement trying to redefine them as such, led by moneyed interests that would obviously stand to profit from such arguments; but legal history is very clear: IP was never conceived on the grounds of being "natural" or "innate" in any way, but as a device to sustain certain economic sectors. IP is no more natural than subsidies for carmakers are natural.

My dad had three-ring binders for each member of the family with the info you listed plus some which others did, including obit info. He also created a list of things to do in order. The list and binder were both very helpful. I imagine if I hadn't been over it with him multiple times over the years that it would have been a lifesaver.

Ok so lets track

- Twitter kneecapping 3PAs with it's API changes

- Reddit doing the same

- Meta sending Cease & Desists to Whatsapp API alt OSS devs

- Youtube sending legal threats to Invidious OSS devs

Last two succeed because (shocker!) OSS devs don't have the resources to fight legal battles against $700bn megacorps.

Every age was defined by the rights we gained. Enlightenment, Suffrage, Post-World War, etc. all lead to new human rights. On the precipice of a digital age we need to start thinking about new human rights.

We all know the right to privacy (lol), I propose a few more:

- Right to Automate/Interoperability; A service must provide a programmatic interface with feature parity, or must allow users to create the tools to automate without any prior consent of the service.

- Right to 3PA; Users have the right to use and develop 3rd party apps without the consent of the service.

- Right of OSS dev defense; megacorps have to pay for the defense of the individual they are actively bullying.

These three will force services to either create a fully featured and open API or leave developers to create the tools to enable others to develop and use 3rd party applications or automation.

Without these three basic rights, we cannot realize the AI vision of a personal Jarvis for everyone.

Maybe we should also be thinking about a developer union that protects independant devs & advocates for coders rights. Also, maybe some sort of organization that acts as the digital-equivalent of the "public domain", which has ROFR for acquiring services which have become monopolies in their respective sectors (e.g Reddit, Whatsapp, Youtube, Twitter, etc.)

It's time to build..... the foundation for a digital utopia.
Not only do they stop crimes, is it really evil to arrest someone who continued sending money to (what he thought was) ISIS as an adult after the FBI had literally shown up to his house and told his parents that they needed to monitor their son’s internet access?

Hello, dbg31415. This is very good feedback and we work at eliminating and fixing, you are being helpful and all feedback is good.

I would like to hear from you if you have the time. Thanks, again, dbg31415. Richard
I just watch the show for fun. It’s crazy how they make up shit and then “given that we’ve proven this”, build theories on top of it.

I guess the appeal of the show is that is raises more questions than it answers. I’m sure there are scientific explanations about most stuff they attribute to aliens, but just asking “how did they build those pyramids?” or “what really happened in that part of the world?” are interesting to think about.
Which is incredibly quaint and myopic. The advanced world he lives in literally doesn't exist if people only work on passion projects.
this is 100% not what a distributed monolith is

a distributed monolith is an antipattern that's common to badly executed microservices -- it's essentially an epithet, in no sense a design goal

what's being described here is an _elegant_ monolith, which is entirely different, and definitely does not provide the property that independent libraries can be deployed and scaled independently
