When open sourcing your work, look first into licensing and make sure to understand what each license offers and what implications it has.

Then you can chose to push it to github or similar, but please prepare a good readme.md file.
> Noncommercial use is not well established in copyright law, which is the law that actually matters.

No, for “NonCommercial”, what actually matters is the explicit definition in the license.
If “wage theft” is relevant, then so is time theft (employees getting paid for time they didn’t work)

* Time theft causes U.S. employers more than $400 billion per year lost in productivity.

* In a survey done in 2015, 43% of employees admitted to deliberately committing time theft. And, 25% of employees admitted to reporting more hours than they actually worked 75% to 100% of the time!

I think they're referring to California upping the cutoff for shoplifting being a misdemeanor to $950.
A quick search found this (right leaning) source that might have been the one they were reading.

Police tend to spend a lot less time on misdemeanors for obvious reasons, so makes sense why funding wouldn't impact that much.
The premise is flawed because that assumes the samples they are studying are identical.

Replication is difficult, and particularly difficult for novel processes where the important variables are not well understood. It could be that the methods were reported as accurately as possible but still leave out critical detail(s).
It will be a licensing nightmare, just like Llama1 was.

Most of us don't live in the state of Washington where the electricity flows like wine*. $0.07/kwh is a good bargain these days. The national average across all of the USA is $0.23/kwh

Financially speaking, charging at home in California is a losing proposition.

That has been my experience playing around with jailbroken GPT. That it will give you an answer, but then something else flags you.
Daugman's IrisCode is not a one-way hash. It's basically a topologically flattened, cropped, fourier transform. The biometrics industry has been claiming that templates are one-way hashes for decades, and they still aren't.

Converting an image to a template requires similar images to result in similar templates. That's usually the opposite of what you want from a hash. There is a concept of "biometric hashing" that would accomplish the one-way claim, but it's theoretically hard and as far as I know none have hit the accuracy levels to make the biometric part feasible for a large scale systems.[1]

The real claim biometrics vendors tend to make if you push them is that you can't reconstruct a photo-realistic image of the face / finger / iris from the template. Which is generally not a true claim either, but at least would require some work with generative tech. And a photorealistic image that generates the same template is likely to look a lot like the actual person.

Source - 10 years of consulting in biometrics for government, academia, and industry, including spoofing and vulnerability assessments. Most people in the industry don't know what they are talking about and just repeat marketing claims.

I think the tricky thing here is that unsafe blocks pit safety and performance against each other at the limit. There’s essentially two languages both called rust: one which prioritises performance over safety. (“Make it safe - but only when safety doesn’t negatively impact performance”) And another which prioritises safety over performance (“Raw pointers and unsafe code should only be used as a last resort”).

Cargo stores packages from both sub-communities and we fight over the heart of rust. - And sometimes to our collective detriment, like what happened to actix.
If I check a suitcase full of money on my flight, or if I pass it through TSA security, I must consent to being searched (without a warrant) in order to fly.

It's not like I have a suitcase of money in my trunk and I've been pulled over by the police without cause and I can refuse to give consent.

Therefore I don't think the 4 amendment applies.

Isn't the argument for CAF that the mere possession of the large sum of money is just cause to confiscate it? That's why a time limit would work. DUring that time period, they could try to get a warrant. The judge would not give a warrant if that is the only evidence. Then the assets would be returned.
PhDs and professors are paid a living wage (though less so over time as federal funding for higher institutions has dwindled).

Academia is a carefully constructed system whose incentive structure is based on highly visible explicitly measured citations and reputation.

People aren't generally just trying to maximize wealth. They're trying to maximize their sense of personal value, which tends to be a combination of wealth, autonomy, and social prestige. Academics (and some creative fields) tend to be biased towards those who prioritize prestige over wealth.
>But is your worry for the authors, for other platforms, or for customers?

Yes. Shitty practices from a market player with significant monopoly power are bad for all of them.
I don’t understand this at all. My understanding is that in New York State a healthcare provider cannot bill you over your insurance.

Once they agree to take your insurance you are liable for out of pocket or copays as per your agreement with your insurance company.

Unless you deliberately go to a doctor who doesn’t take insurance, which is generally only something very wealthy people do.

What situation is this attempting to address?

Edit: I’ve read the explanation in more detail above and I still don’t get it.

They currently don't allow individuals to e-file unless they either:

1. Acquire commercial software, or;
2. Hire a paid preparer to file it, or;
3. Use "Free File Fillable Forms" (but this isn't an option if you fall into one of the numerous special cases that it doesn't support)

So, basically, mailing in a paper return is the only free option for some people (myself included).

I genuinely don't understand why paid preparers can e-file directly with the IRS, but individuals can't. There's nothing in the linked article that says this will change, so if they go ahead and ban paper filing in a couple years, I'm not sure what options are left for people like me.

Yes, I can easily afford to shell out for software or a paid preparer if I really have to, but I'm very much against doing this on principle, since the whole tax prep industry in the US is a huge rent-seeking racket.

Thanks for those thoughts.

Our approach is that the sending system sends a numerical order for the messages.

We took this approach in healthcare and it helped for when reliability of queues needed to be 100%.

In that way we always knew if any message is missing in the queue.

Given how often developers need to process a stream of messages - and assure the order of processing is reliable - it seems like such a surprise that queues would not have that native functionality for reliability.
After reading the summary I linked to and browsing through the source PDF, I don't think these cost comparisons are fair or reasonable.

First, they amortize the cost of home charging infrastructure over 5 years, but personally, that's not how I think about those costs. When I'm comparing prices between cars, I'm considering the home charging as a one-time upfront cost. Once I've paid that cost it's not part of my ongoing costs to fuel the car.

You could argue that home charging infrastructure is a part of the cost of an electric car, sure, but if you're going to include that in the cost of the electric car, why not include the total cost of ownership for the ICE car as well (oil-changes, tuneups, emissions tests, etc.)? This article feels biased against EVs by only including additional costs of ownership for EVs and ignoring costs for ICs.

Also, high-voltage chargers for our home or commercial chargers on the road would be completely unnecessary for my family. We drive infrequently enough that an extension cord snaked to our driveway would be plenty of power.

Aye, there's the rub. No politician wants to be portrayed as "soft on crime". Until the problem becomes too large for the average person to ignore, the law isn't going to change. A smart police force stays just below that threshold.

I mean, for a kind of museum piece, to get the true experience of using the computer I’d agree for sure just use original OS. But if one wanted to be able to use it for most functional purposes, it’s sad how the complete lack of backcompat in MacOS makes using an old MacOS tough — which is sad because new Linux often can work surprisingly fine on the same hardware. Like, current Debian on a 2008 Core 2 Duo is a fine computer that you can browse the Web and do basic office tasks on. It was shocking to me!

Worldcoin is rich and the average Kenyan is poor - relative to one another. By your logic Worldcoin can't fairly engage with Kenyans - as I summarized your position above "You can't buy and sell from people who are too poor."

If you think that Worldcoin needs to pay some much larger amount, such that some richer population would be equally willing to sell their biometrics, then you are again just reiterating the same idea that it's wrong to do business with poor people. If Worldcoin had to pay what would make the average San Franciscan willing - why would Worldcoin travel all the way to Kenya? They would focus on closer and more familiar populations instead. In reality, they go to Kenya because it's better economics - they get more signups per dollar, and Kenyans are willing to sell biometrics at a lower price.

This line of thinking is a perverse insistence that poor people stay poor because you think their wages are too low. It is morally repellent - you insert yourself in the voluntary exchange of consenting adults in order to prevent them from doing what they want, and it is economically irrational.

I would sell a hash of my retinal scan to Worldcoin. I checked if there was an orb near me - alas, not. Please, tell me, why should I be allowed to make this trade but the average Kenyan should not? Or, tell me why you know better than I do what the hash of my retina scan is worth.

The talent pool just doesn't seem as deep anymore in the US despite us offering pretty good salaries.

At this point we were able to get US level engineering talent outside the US and I don't see us turning back, especially now that stsrtups like Wiz, Orca, etc are further enhancing the talent pool for our needs plus VMWare, Cisco, and Symantec/Broadcom's layoffs bringing us plenty of skilled engineers who returned back to the home country.

Your comment doesn't add anything to the discussion. That some people may opt into "hookup culture" does not mean it's good for them in the long-term. I'll still defend their right to make that decision for themselves though.
The whole ESG discussion is fraught with misinformation.

Different ESG scores mean different things depending on what scoring you’re looking at. So, for example, an environmentally focused organization may rate a company high in ESG because they have low emissions and/or push for green legislation.

However, the more well known ESG scores that we see in the news are often from the financial press and are intended for investors, and often reflect the ESG risk exposure for the companies in question.

This tends to have the ironic effect of making environmentally friendly companies have low ESG scores, and less environmentally friendly companies high scores.

So, for example, Elon Musk complained about getting a low ESG risk score from S&P, but that made complete sense because Tesla was heavily exposed to governmental green policies. Remove CA’s CARB credits, or various green credits and tax benefits, etc and Tesla’s business would suffer.

Exxon, OTOH, was unlikely to see any such impact leading to a lower ESG risk score.

The key thing to understand is that there is no single ESG score. Every company creates different scores based on different factors and intended for different purposes, and their customers decide which ones are effective for their intended purposes and those scores tend to last and do well.

The political backlash against ESG scores is so misplaced.

It’s the equivalent of a personal wealth guru who believes that credit cards are not good for most poor people because they perpetuate their poverty deciding that therefore credit ratings for companies are bad, because both have something to do with the borrowing and lending of money.
On a vacation I have my card (and can use PIN auth), the issue is usually online transactions ("card not present", ie. vPOS transactions).
This is in the U.S., where gas is insanely cheap compared to Europe. I'd be curious to see what the math looks like with, for example, Dutch gas prices, which are currently almost at €2 per liter, which is just over $8 per gallon at current exchange rates.

But my use of it predates the internet. I suspect this is a regionalism.
This doesn't actually compare marginal costs. It factors in fixed costs like the cost of the charger for the EV amortized over five years. It counts road taxes for both types of vehicles, but road taxes are marginal for gas vehicles and fixed for electric ones. It doesn't count the additional marginal costs of maintaining an ICE vehicle over an EV.

And all of the taxes come from Michigan, which is one of those states that charge EV and hybrid owners extra to register and have lower gas prices than the rest of the country. I'm almost certain this would give a different result closer to the coasts.

This overall study feels like statistical cherry-picking to eeek out a marginal result.
That's a hilarious book: "There was a jar which I had not noticed before containing potassium metal. I knew that potassium was a silvery metal, but this was one inch spheres, green with the oil in which they were immersed. I removed two for a collection of elements we were starting at Columbia High, scraped off the oil and put the marbles in my handkerchief which I added to a collection of miscellaneous glassware in my back pocket. "

Oops... I can see where that is headed.

Because the people below decks are still taking those jobs voluntarily, and so as bad as their situation is in those jobs, I figure they must still be worse off without them.

This makes no sense.

Nissan leaf is 33 kWH / 100 miles per EPA [1]. Average US kWH cost is $0.17. [2] On average this should cost you $5.61 / 100 miles.

The study [3] methodology [4] gives a figure of $12.62 / 100 miles because it says road taxes + cost of charger is $7 / 100 miles, most of which is the charger. Because bundling fixed costs into a variable cost calculation is logical. Lol.

Of course. My £100 saving on fuel offsets some of the £500 lease cost.

I also put £20k into my mortgage, freeing up another £200/month to offset.

The lease includes insurance, tyres and maintenance.

My last car was costing me ~£1200/year on maintenance so it had to go.

Fuel was always part of the equation.
I'm not a PG fanboy but I do respect his thinking, and he really nailed it when he said "make something people want".

That statement is a much more generalized statement about what the basis of a business must be, whether or not it solves a problem, for a business to succeed it must provide something that people want.

In writing this comment I suppose it could even go further and say "make something people want or need". For example insurance and legal compliance are not things people tend to want, but do need.
That's roughly around what I'm seeing as well as my electric is about the same rate. I'm in the midwest and gas is a little cheaper where I'm at, but it's still significantly cheaper to charge. Supercharging isn't too bad around me but I rarely ever use it. I did get to experience supercharging in California recently and it was probably as much or more than gas there which is probably why you see articles like this.

No one mentions oil either. I probably pay $100-150 a year to change the oil in my other ICE vehicle.

One part of web components is custom HTML elements which basically means HTML elements that mean nothing until javascript execution gives them meaning. You differentiate them from the normal HTML element naming by using hyphens in the names.

When I go to a website and all I see if a bunch of blank gray boxes that means they're using web components. It encourages developers to not put the text or images in the HTML and instead to load them externally after the page is loaded with javascript. That's slow, brittle, and stupid for most web documents. It's the opposite of progressive enhancement that fails gracefully. Web components just leave blank nothing that ruins accessibility for screen readers.
