Sounds like it'd be worth it to have a service where you can subscribe by address (/"lot description") and get notified if land goes on sale / is being sold. Sign up for your lots to make sure no scam artist sells them. It could pull info from the various MLSes, but to catch direct sales it'd have to also interface with... county treasurers? Escrow companies? "Recorder of deeds" on state level? Coverage is going to be a challenge.

Offer it as a "warning system only", to keep it cheaper than title insurance services. Target land owners, not buyers & sellers. Maybe sell B2B API access to title insurance companies.

Of course they have the resources. What they don't have is the incentives to do better. Just like every other big company that has a breach, they are not punished when they ignore basic security and they are not rewarded for paying attention to it. In fact they are punished by Wall Street for paying attention to it, because that costs money.

As long as all they have to do is say "Whoops! We're sorry" when a breach happens, we should expect breaches to be the norm for all big companies.
Probably depends on the biodegradable fiber? Organic cotton uses a _ton_ of water. I'm not sure about viscose/rayon/tencel but I imagine it's often less water-intensive but it can be pretty chemical-intensive.

I don't know how bad nylon is to produce, but the durability it adds to clothes is probably an overall net win for the environment; compared to other plastics we consume, it does a lot of work (I've worn some items for years).

Note Prana has recycled nylon in their Brion II line, but unfortunately the quality is way worse; it pills immediately. Environmentally, I'd much rather buy non-recycled plastics that last a lot longer, so I consume/waste less overall.

But the tldr is that I don't know :)

In case it wasn't obvious: the examples are firmly tounge-in-cheek.

The point is simply that markets are designed for maximizing incentives, and "ESG" as commonly defined isn't -- at least definitionally -- aligned with those incentives.

That point is pretty value neutral with respect to ESG goals; ie, believe what you want about how the world ought to be, but don't fool yourself into thinking that throwing you slogans at markets with different incentives will result in outcomes consistent with your sloganeering.

It seems like we just externalized our emissions though.

The U.S's production-based emissions starts dropping at the start of the millennium, and China's starts increasing at the inverse rate. And this is the same time that China is entering the global market and their trade with us starts increasing.

It seems like our appetite for "more" and "new" does not cease.

I'm afraid you're referring to yet another Mac Pro marketing push that came later (for the 2019 "Lattice" / cheese grater redux version).

I just looked up the dates & it lines up with my recollection and initial comment: the previous refresh (pre-trashcan) was in 2010. The Final Cut "Pro" X release that frustrated video professionals came out in 2011 and the trashcan itself was finally released in 2013. A lot of loyal video pros abandoned Apple for the Adobe/PC ecosystem in that era.

I haven't missed window snapping since going full Apple a couple years ago. Whenever I need to see another tab or window, like if writing code and wanting documentation at the same time, command + tab and browser tab shortcuts are really fast and responsive and seamless. I prefer the larger amount of screen real estate in use without snapping plus the keyboard shortcuts over reducing the screen real estate to multitask via snapped windows, because windows side by side affect my focus more than just tabbing when needed.
It demonstrates efficiency and ability to do something complicated and challenging under time pressure. Maybe it shouldn't be considered a big academic achievement, but it's definitely an impressive practical achievement.

Essentially the answer is “yes,” particularly when coupled with exercise. A quick Kagi can find a lot of research and background.

The flawed basic premise of this article assumes the person is a "going concern" so as to speak, will continue to earn constantly in order to fund this "smoothing" and whatever.

As someone who does not live on a stable paycheck, it does NOT make sense to take on debt when you are not sure if next month you'll get to earn anything let alone enough to service loans.

All the people in finance think "debt is cool" because they talk about theories "metcalfe life theory" like the article regarding going into debt to buy an air ticket to see an old friend. That's stupid as hell. Why not "save" money and go the next month? Sure you are an impusive debt addict but yeah, you can explain it off by theories.

I like the idea and can think of many who would benefit from it - I wonder where hosting and people are, as I wonder what the censorship resistance would be / what would get things blocked / banned / surveilled and all those things.

will upstream providers demand things like block all X and Y or else whatever.

payments are used to censor and weaponized in modern day chokepoints from gov to extreme whatevers on left and right.. and finding places that resist that would be okay, perhaps a profile by profile canary thing or proof of zero log stats - I don't know.

Of course you could just ban any onlyfans / patreon / instamodel and post that you provide access logs to all the surv capitalism portals who all share all the things and focus on college kids and roommates or what not.

What I like about this idea, as opposed to pure cash payment models, is that this allows the patient to remain in network, so that all payments are applied to their deductible (at least I think that’s what you are doing).
Pure cash models make little sense - depending on the severity or complexity of your condition, which you can’t always tell in advance, there may be no end to the amount you ultimately owe.

What concerns me however is the guarantee part of it. It’s a bold move that is fraught with risk, especially as you get into higher ticket items, such as various surgical procedures. It’s not clear to me how you spread this risk out (you take the downside risk, but what’s the upside - just the referral fees?)

No, I don't. I want it to be like pushing or dragging a virtual piece of paper. That's what it is and how it feels the most natural to me. That being said I'm pretty sure you can already configure this without an app, in the system preferences.

No way. I love the cmd + tab and pairing that with keyboard shortcuts for navigating browser tabs is super powerful and doesn't require compromising the beautiful giant amount of screen real estate by inducing multitasking with multiple windows open. It's okay if it comes as a configuration but I would hope the default behavior stays this way.

I think it's a fair question. I guess the answer is "because we have superconductors, and no material with 'very small resistance' instead".

Also note that while there is zero resistance you still have parasitic currents and general interaction with the rest of the environment. So no perpetual motion for us today!
I think a fairer analogy is worker protection laws. Workers understand how other workers can be coerced into accepting unsafe working conditions and think it’s okay to limit individual freedom to take that pressure off the table for all.

I believe the entire point of the ergodicity question here is "If you apply this process n times, with n approaching infinity, obviously the result may depend on what point in the n-times iterated distribution you sample, but if you choose a volume of vanishingly small measure to exclude, can you make a single concrete statement about what the process is doing without taking an expected value over the different outcomes"

And the answer is yes - with probability approaching 1 as n increases (ie excluding a portion of the distribution whose measure decreases to 0), the random process matches a deterministic process which is described by "you lose 5% each round".
> I thought I had a nice workaround by having USD to my USD account and only paying standard (high) fees, but, they now charge me a surcharge for this despite no Forex fees needed, and worse, the fees always link to the wrong transactions so I can't even reconcile properly.

I assume you are talking about this, perhaps: https://stripe.com/docs/payouts/alternative-currencies

It's a bit confusing as it seems to say there are fees if the bank account isn't domiciled in the country of the merchant but it's left vague whether the fee also applies to any alternative currency payout. The pricing page seems to support the latter theory: https://stripe.com/en-gb-de/pricing

> they now charge me a surcharge for this despite no Forex fees needed, and worse, the fees always link to the wrong transactions so I can't even reconcile properly.

The forex fees may not cost anything but the underlying cost is surely not free. Foreign currency transfers even (or in fact in particularly) domestically usually need to go through different rails, which often have fees associated. For US domiciled bank accounts they could potentially pay out from funds Stripe holds in the US already, but the need for balancing accounts internally later this isn't going to be free.

All that ignores the system and banking interconnectivity operating cost and their desire to recoup the engineering effort investment.

Bottom line is that there's a fee for this (which is service that I don't believe existed a few years back and is clearly a value added service) and if you're not happy with a fee it's your right to try and find another provider that is cheaper.

I understand that fees aren't something making customers happy but come on, your admitted workaround not working out as you planned doesn't make Stripe a nightmare. Seriously try to look into other PSPs and whether they support what you want to do better. If they don't or if another workaround there would be more cumbersome, perhaps Stripe isn't such a "nightmare" anymore in comparison.

Stuff just doesn't always end up working the way you might want to, and that means a market or product is perhaps ripe for disruption but Stripe charging for a service seems to be what bugs you the most. And I feel like you are underestimating the value/convenience they provide.

> the fees always link to the wrong transactions so I can't even reconcile properly.

That one does seem like a bug or a shortcoming in how they present fees, yes.

> On top of this, they force convert my CAD to GBP despite having a CAD bank account, and charge me so many fees on top.

Why would this happen if you used alternative currency payouts for that?

It is hard work, but relatively easy work proportional to the possible rewards, and has very few downsides:

1. An early preprint provides instant press coverage for the researchers, their lab and the entire university. Such opportunities are rare: I worked in academia full-time for decades, and never had an opportunity to do some fixed amount of well-understood work that guarantees an appearance in the national press. Such an appearance is very useful in inter-departmental politics, not to mention when dealing with government organizations staffed by non-researchers. E.g. if "biggest newspaper in country X" reported about your research, that by itself ensures that you won't have to apply for "shitty academic visitor visa to the UK", but can credibly apply for a "global talent, go straight to indefinite leave to remain" one instead. And if the effect turns out to be real, and you managed to reproduce the effect while lots of others tried and failed, that's going to look really good on the grant application where you have to explain why your lab is the best place to spend money earmarked for superconductor research. This is unlike other replication papers, which are not usually the "gets reported on national media kind, or even "many others tried and failed" kind, but usually the "nobody else cared" type.

2. The article will definitely garner some citations. Even if LK-99 does not pan out, there will be many many survey articles written about what's unfolding right now, and they will all definitely cite the earliest replications. Moreover, it doesn't matter if your first preprint has shit writing: you'll still be cited if the final version gets accepted 4 months from now, after many rewrites. This is unlike most random "reproduction" papers, which are unlikely to get published, much less cited. So reproducing LK-99 is in fact a good way to increase h-index.

3. As long as you don't do anything fraudulent, there's very little career risk involved with being fast-and-loose in a preprint. If LK-99 pans out you're definitely in the clear. If it doesn't, well, as every second comment here mentions, materials science is difficult, honest mistakes are easy to make, even reproducing results is incredibly finicky and hard. It's not like your lab was the only one making anomalous observations. Chances are nobody's going to care if you were involved in a false positive replication. In fact, probably nobody's going to read and scrutinize your whole publication list when hiring or promoting you, but they'll definitely care about your citation metrics. This is unlike most other reproduction papers, where you wouldn't get many citations even if you managed to publish, because nobody cared.

All in all, dropping everything else and working on this right now is a good strategy, even for investigators in prestigious labs that would otherwise not bother with reproduction papers.
