That sequence is infinite. So, the next to fall most likely is D(10), then D(11), etc.

I added “most likely” because I cannot rule out some mathematical result that makes it easier to compute some values for larger n.
This is a harmful (to discourse) reduction of the situation.

Modern religious authorities/communities, despite some of their uneducated followers all too often not understanding the nuance either and generally being homophobic turds, are against extramarital sexual intercourse not because “God hates the gays” but actually because they believe [religious] marriage is covenant of procreation. Marriage is not needed to have sex, and having sex outside of a situation where you’re willing and able to accept children is not the society these people want to build.

There’s nothing inherently homophobic about that at all. Nobody (the bible included) says you can’t love someone of the same sex or even have two people of the same sex cohabitate and raise children. It’s actually quite the opposite if you look at history and the broader context. They’re just not “married” in the eyes of their church because they’re not popping out babies. Believe it or not, in the Catholic Church, even a heterosexual couple married but on birth control is looked down upon and considered to be in a state of sin.

Now you can still have a problem with a group of people considering extramarital sex sinful, I have no apropos argument there, but it’s not born of some grand scheme to discriminate against the gays or whatever. And it’s really uncharitable and harmful to thoughtful religious people to reduce their moral doctrine to charged falsehoods.

Nobody has time to stand in line for hours to vote. Not even retired people would do that!

> Someone working 3 jobs

According to the BLS[0], less than 5% of working-aged people hold more than one job, and presumably a fraction of that have three jobs. Surely society shouldn't optimize for a small minority of the population.

> doesn't have time to stand in line for hours

Data on this isn't great, but one source I found[1] puts a cursory total average across all states in 2020 at around 15 minutes, with the worst average wait time being Indiana at 42.1 minutes. It's confirmed by a 2020 academic paper[2] which puts the nationwide median at 14 minutes.

I can imagine that there are outliers who have to wait unpleasantly long, and that same paper referenced above indicates that people may have unequal voting wait times based on where they live. Ideally voting should be easy for all those eligible to vote.

> Execs are already rich. To risk jailtime, which fraud can lead to, you'd need to see something more existential than slightly increasing margins on used van sales.

This seems incredibly naive. You'd have to be willfully ignorant to think that a) rich people won't break the law to make a tiny bit more money, and b) fraud committed by large corporations often results in jail time.

I agree with you that this article isn't worth very much, but that's only because lawsuits in general shouldn't be trusted without corroborating evidence, not because a rich executive would never do this.

> I love hotel bars, and not just for the quiet.

I was out of town once with my wife, and we were in a hotel. We went down to the lounge, and it was a nice, serene space, with quiet little seating spaces. It had a great atmosphere and snack mix.

Later, I had to go back to the same area and, having had a good experience, I picked the same hotel hoping to use the lounge again.

But, alas, the hotel was overrun by a High School Jazz Band event.

Quiet was not on the menu this trip!

> You can use trusted sources

What is a trusted source? How can I find one? I think this is close to impossible. Of course, everyone reads what one consider "trusted" source, but I have doubt any of them is.

> So, for example I followed a Ukrainian youtuber who said he was leaving because of the invasion, that added considerably to my confidence. Also, meeting refugees arrive in the UK displaced from the Russian invasion made for near 100% confidence that it was actually happening (a video of a couple of tanks on a highway just looks like propaganda however, but the tanks were probably there, something happened [it wasn't impressive enough to be AI generated!]).

But does this prove anything at all? E.g. half of my family lives in Ukraine. You wouldn't believe and it's never mentioned in Western media, but large percent of Ukraine population is Russian. Actually, it's almost impossible to distinguish who's Russian and who's Ukrainian. What is the difference? My family is originally from Ukraine, but I consider myself Russian.

So, my relatives from Ukraine were always telling me completely different stories from official Western stories. E.g. about neo-nazi movement in Ukraine which became very active since 1991 according to my relatives.

> What is an example of a large lie that you see in Western media today, that you confirm to be untrue from direct personal experience?

I do not collect such stories (what would be the point?), but meanwhile I'm looking for some examples, I'll tell you that for several years I've browsed Western media and specifically searched for news from Russia on CNN, Washington Post, Bloomberg, and other prominent Western media websites.

One thing that is impossible to ignore is that all news from Russia are strictly negative. Even if they're true, this is clearly one sided presentation of situation to demonstrate to Western readers that "Everything is bad in Russia". I couldn't read anything positive about Russia in English for many years. It's always the same bingo bullshit composed out of "dictatorship", "bad Putin", "bad Russians", "Russian hackers", yadda, yadda.

I've just did a search `russia site:https://www.washingtonpost.com/`. While I cannot pinpoint an outright lie, because there're tons of results and I don't have much time now, you can easily see that there's a common theme in all the news articles: "Russia is bad", "Situation in Russia is awful", "Some unnamed source confirms that Putin is bad/afraid/eats babies for breakfast". Whatever year you put in the search: 2023, 2022, 2020, 2018, etc.

There was a prompt asking if I wanted to enable it, when I set up my phone/Mac. Same setup screen that asks if you want to enable location, Siri, etc.
I'm okay being prompted when I have more than one app of the same type.

I'm not okay being prompted to install an additional app when I already have one that can handle the link. This is advertisement spam and it's disingenuous to claim Google does that to give you choice.
Pulling/polling isn't suitable for high throughput (e.g. network flows, application profiling, any sub-second sampling frequency), but it's totally fine for 99% of observability use cases. In fact, I would argue pushed metrics are an anti-pattern for most environments, where the performance upsides are not worth the added complexity & reduced flexibility.

There is real value to the observability system being observable by default. It is so nice to be able to GET /metrics endpoint from curl and see real-time metrics in human-readable format.

Pull by default, and consciously upgrade to push if you need more throughput.
This tool is invaluable, I love it so much. I have 2 workspaces and I love just running the command (via Alfred) when I plug into my dock at either place that fixes all my monitors. I could script it so that as soon as my computer recognizes a monitor UUID it fires off the correct displayplacer command but I don't switch often enough to care (the 2 desks are 3.5+ hours apart).

When I was commuting daily displayplacer was even more indispensable but even for just unplugging my mac and using the internal screen vs my monitors I get a ton of value out of this tool.

What happens first is a lot of income restructuring to avoid paying those taxes: https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-nocera-tax-avoidance-...

I don't think it would really impact startup entrepreneurs much, tax rates at a billion dollars are basically not going to impact anyone: the impact would be on those in the ~100m+ range who will start trying to restructure their investments in a way to avoid the bill.

How exactly this would shake out would depend a lot on the exact specifics of what gets written down and are impossible to predict based on a high level description, e.g. few would have predicted an increased investment in oil wells due to the 91% marginal rate before.

If you need something more practical, but still challenging, try Slackware.

Use the advanced install feature and only select the packages you need. Build the other software yourself. You can choose your own difficulty this way. You can also follow the distro's way of packaging up software (build scripts), or build it the software developer's way. The main advantages of building software yourself are:

1. You are a developer who wants to customize the software.

2. You want to practice.

3. You want to contribute to a project.

4. You want to have a better understanding of what the code does.

Slackware 15 is a modern platform to build upon.
> "Plaintiff's argument is, in essence, that it has created a derivative work of the original lyrics in applying its own labor and resources to transcribe the lyrics, and thus, retains some ownership over and has rights in the transcriptions distinct from the exclusive rights of the copyright owners... Plaintiff likely makes this argument without explicitly referring to the lyrics transcriptions as derivative works because the case law is clear that only the original copyright owner has exclusive rights to authorize derivative works," Brodie wrote in the August 2020 ruling.

Curious how Genius ever saw this working out for them. They had the right to transcribe lyrics they didn’t own, but Google didn’t have that same right? I just don’t see how a ruling against Google wouldn’t have created an opportunity for songwriters to make the exact same case against Genius.
>I have doubts that we're getting an accurate story here,

Well that's the magic of the court system, the filing of the lawsuit is to either get them to settle/admit wrongdoing or to force this to discovery.

>I'm even surprised that these trucks have mechanical odometers.

Freightliner vans aren't fancy hi-tech vehicles, they are utility vehicles.

But there's no difference between mechanical and digital odometers here. If you swap a digital cluster, you end up swapping the odometer reading. Architecturally vehicles have seldom moved on from storing the reading in the cluster.

It really becomes a question of where do you store the reading? A engine computer is more likely to be replaced due to an accident than the odometer in the car even though on many vehicles it will still track the mileage.

>they are all digital, rarely fail and (I assume) would be harder to tamper with.

Actually, in most cars they are absolutely tamperable over CAN or physical access. If I remember right, the Honda digital cluster even up to my 2021 just has a standard SPI flash chip that you can tamper with to change the odometer value.

I have lived by these words for many years:

“Every time I’m wrong, I learn something new.”

I repeat this to myself. I look for reasons to be wrong. Everything I think I know how to do well, I assume someone has a better way of doing it, and I want to know that way.

I don’t even stop short when it comes to religion or politics. You believe in God, convince me, that sounds great. Your political views are right? Okay, show me the evidence, I’ll listen and explore the idea.

But I do stand by what I am pretty certain is a fact if there would be consequences otherwise. That being said, I have very little confidence that I know any actual “facts”.

Zuck cannot be removed as CEO even though he should be for the massive VR failure.

The phrase “corporations are people” is somewhat ambiguous. It does not mean that every corporation is a person, it means that corporations are _composed of_ people. (Think “soylent green is people”, if it helps you understand.) The people in a corporation have rights, and thus any action taken by a corporation may be an expression of those rights. A corporate press release has just as much protection from the first amendment as any other statement a person might make.

The people in a corporation can and do get sent to jail, even if the corporation itself does not.

Bluetooth is used to discover peers and to initiate communication. Thus handoff works even on a wifi network that blocks broadcasts.

Misrepresenting an odometer reading as true is a federal offense, and it seems clear that this happened in at least one of the cases in the article. I’ve never seen a car title that doesn’t have a field for noting an in accurate odometer. Federal rules also makes the seller sign an acknowledgement that the odometer reading is true, rolled over, or unknown.

Maybe there was no conspiracy involved, and the fleet mechanics were just swapping out defective gauge clusters (somehow always swapping in a lower mileage cluster).

So the best defense they have is that this was an accident of sloppy record keeping leading to a failure to make legally required disclosures… which is not a great defense.

Properly done, flirting with customers can be fine. But most men don't know how to properly flirt.

First, they confuse flirting with "hitting on". Those are two different things. But the main thing about flirting is that you sneak up on it. You start with interactions that are friendly and 99% innocent. The sort that will not offend or threaten anybody. If you get responses in kind, you gradually escalate. If you don't, or if they stop, then you stop as well.

In a way, flirting is more like a dance. If your partner isn't dancing with you, you need to stop doing it with them.
