This idealistic claptrap has zero relation to reality. The purpose of a great many corporations is to extract maximum rent with minimum (often negative) value added.

Businesses are not human: agreed. Businesses are a legal mechanism to execute on behalf of its owners, while shielding them from liabilities, tax included. This is enshrined in supreme court cases involving Hobby Lobby, Citizens United, etc: corporations enjoy a freedom of speech because otherwise the freedom of the corporations' controllers would be infringed. They have more rights than you and I, and in many regards, less responsibility. The corporations may not be selfish, but their controllers are selfish human beings.

Private jets are a great example. If you buy one, that's expensive! If you start a corporation, the corporation buys a jet, and you make a symbolic effort to rent it out to a friend once and a while, you can write down all of the expense as a loss. Those get deducted from capital gains made in other ventures. Voilá, instead of paying tax, your money goes to luxury expenses instead! And if you're not going to tax the actual profit-making companies, then you get zero taxes from the people extracting the most rent from society.

Free market capitalism has been infected with a mind virus that rents are awesome for society and regulation, liability, and tax are a detriment. You're entirely turned around.
Aaaah - gotcha.
Actually this is the point. I'm not that after money anymore. Would love to learn something new again. So would be happy to get far far less, but learn for example robotics. Really excited about it.

For sure if money would be the only metric, I should try to stick to trading. Even if my stuff doesn't work, I could try to join some prop trading shop. Could imagine doing so to be honest, but right now just want to try something new.

Russia is already winning in Ukraine.

That's exactly why Biden has been finding it so hard to keep sending weapons - the Republicans would be more or less happy to keep sending them if they were seeing positive results from the counteroffensive but nothing has been achieved.

If weapons deliveries wind down from hereon out then Kiev is toast.
Convince enough voting Americans that America isn't #1 at everything and can in fact learn from other nations and improve things by copying what they do.

For example, the low-end supermarket brand here in Berlin actually sells fresh fruit and vegetables, so we don't get the "food deserts" that the US suffers from (or if they do exist, nowhere near as severely): https://www.aldi-nord.de/sortiment/obst-und-gemuese.html

They also sell micro-PV systems for people renting apartments: https://www.aldi-onlineshop.de/p/plug--play-balkon-kraftwerk...

And a nation-wide (non-express) public transport pass costs €49/month.
I think #2 is a bit dated approach by now. Certainly there's a place for this approach, when you have a DBA who is acting as gatekeeper to a large DB and the application is stable and is probably a monolith, but this adds friction and comes at a cost. It also tends to encourage a style of design where more business logic goes into the DB instead of stateless services, which eventually bottlenecks your ability to scale.

> local governance is the most important impactful daily politics in most people’s lives, which is why having the democratic process involved at that level is so important

The US has an unusually large degree of local democracy by international standards. But, do people from other rich Western countries which have weaker local governments feel jealous of America over this? In my experience, largely no. Which calls into question how valuable it really is

> There are other examples of Australian police abuse too

Nobody claims Australian police are saints, but I think everyone would agree they have less of a problem with abuse and brutality than US police do. On a per capita basis, annual numbers of people killed by law enforcement in the US is over 20 times higher than Australia (28.54 per 10 million in 2020 versus 1.7 per 10 million in 2016-17 per [0])

2 informal excellent: Galway stormed to a famous victory.

Various types of pickles are in fact "famous":

- Mango pickle (not my favourite Indian pickle; right now that would be garlic pickle and my standby is lime pickle)

- New York deli half-sour pickled cucumbers (not a vinegar pickle, but a fermented pickle).

- Umeboshi (salt-pickled Japanese plums)

- Kimchi (Korean fermented cabbage and vegetables)

- Kapusta / Sauerkraut (Ukrainian and German fermented/pickled cabbage, respectively)

There are others, but the point has been made. When you consider that "famous" is often used to mean "beloved", your ignorance is showing.

The 1950s suburban experiment through cheap money (new suburbs brought in short term influx of cash for cities/counties), massive subsidies of highway infrastructure, subsidies for automobile industries, redlining housing policies, and “white flight” pushed people towards driving.

It can be reversed. Believe it out not, prior to the Industrial Revolution people got around just fine. Somehow the auto industry convinced people their dangerous machines in the hands of commoners was a good idea.

More constructively, I don't think anyone argues that there isn't (rudely speaking) a broad supply of fools waiting to be parted from their money.

> What is clear, however, is that you're better off with both systems existing in parallel because then you can use either one, rather than having the informal one prohibited by law so that you're forced into the other one whether it works for you or not.

Yes, but we've never had that: pubs don't do banking under normal circumstances because they're outcompeted by the banks.

> If you want a permissionless money transfer system that anybody can use and nobody can be refused, why shouldn't that exist too?

I don't have a big objection to a parallel informal payment system. OTOH, these kinds of systems tend to have the problems that all the reddit alternatives have: they capture the least attractive and most problematic business because they only end up employed by an unusual subset of people.

I guess the closest analog we have of what you describe at scale is hawala.

You've described exactly why my company moved from DigitalOcean to AWS a while ago.

Whilst AWS is more expensive and perhaps over-engineered for our use-case, it was absolutely essential to have some kind of ACLs.

Whilst true, there are distinct classes and types of assets, with differing characteristics.

Currency is exceptionally liquid (interchangeable) and nearly-universally accepted within a particular region.

Stocks, bonds, and other financialised instruments tend to be better inflation hedges, as currency will, does, and should inflate and deflate to meet actual transaction needs, and to dilute excessively burdensome debts.

Real estate is exceptionally durable, tends to hold value well (excepting speculative bubbles), and serves excellently as collateral for debt. Other long-term tangible property (e.g., industrial plant and equipment) can play a similar role.

Commodities tend to be intermediate between cash and other forms of financialised instruments, generally having inherent liquidity (that is, the commodity can be sold for use-value), as well as its investment role.

Collectables ranging from fine arts to wines to luxury automobiles tend to have hold value well (again, modulo speculative bubbles), and are both more readily stored and transported than real estate.

Cryptocurrencies tend to most strongly resemble the latter, in both their intrinsic durability (which is NOT the same as price stability), and their portability, which is to say that they serve as a highly effective way of moving financial wealth between jurisdictions, often without any external visibility, though of course blockchain transactions, like diamonds, are forever.
I wonder how hard it would be to capture this with some kind of aero device in the wheel wells of vehicles. Given what F1 teams can do with aero, it doesn’t seem like a huge stretch to be able to suck up these particles at the source and pass them through a filter bag like a household vacuum or something.

I'm not actually sure another 9/11 would have the same unifying effect it did in 2001. Today the information ecosystem is so much more fractured, there's way more material and reputational reward for being a "counter-consensus" voice, and polarization has increased to the point where it has totally undermined even the potential of national unity -- hop on Twitter and you can easily find tons of partisans declaring that they'd rather live under Chinese communist or Russian anti-liberal "trad" rule today, if that were an option.

My guess would be that if something like 9/11 happened again today, you'd see [tribe controlling the White House] try to use it as a unifying event, and this would immediately catalyze a furious reaction and counter-narrative from [tribe not controlling the White House] denouncing it as cynical grift, especially if it was used to try and justify a draft.

I was, but this approach makes it function as a single application, kinda. You're not exposing your underlying data storage directly to consumers.

The weird thing here is your interface is still SQL. Sometimes that's fine, but I think this API-schema approach really takes off when you use something like PostgREST, PostGraphile, or Hasura to automatically turn this API schema into a web API. Lots of nice benefits to those tools, and then you have a single service that is more what users might expect.

I actually discovered this API-schema approach from the docs of one of those tool...I just can't remember which one.

Yes, grid and flex can help to avoid some media queries, but for an actually responsive design this is far from enough. There are pages that don't need this much because they basically consist of one column with one main component (e.g. HN). And yes, you can have a responsive multi column layout without media queries, good point.

Still, almost all pages (at least most web applications) need media queries for their layout as well as for their individual components.

I think the author of this little 10LOC script is well aware of the style attribute so I fail to see what you want to say with your original comment.

Interestingly my great grandfather headed up research efforts on breeding fungal resistant rubber trees at a national research institute in now Sri Lanka. Man he'd be rolling in his grave at the thought of public opinion and cheap (and non-biodegradable) synthetics holding back natural rubber production.

Synthetic rubber being the largest microplastic source in the world is an incredibly stroke of irony. Reminds me of us discovering that adding tetra ethyl lead to fuel might not be a wonderful idea.
Honest question how does shear force proportional to torque not factor in? Coefficient of friction is shear over normal.
Mechanical properties are a function of temperature and quick startups assuredly contribute to wear. An extreme example is drag racing. Cars are highway driving in steady state cruising for more miles and time but in the US around town driving has stop lights.
Indeed - I used to use Spaces for a project but found not just the uptime but teh overall reliability and performance was, at the time at least, markedly worse than AWS.
First of all bankers on strike isn't a normal strike. It's like parents going on strike and leaving their kids to die.

Think about it... I steal all of someones money and promise to pay them back later and they're just going to be nice about it? If this happened to a person... likely he will hunt me down and "extract" the money out of me through any means available.

Why? because typically survival depends on a persons' ability to spend money.

I am not bloodthirsty. Theft in any society typically results in extreme measures of punishment including forcefully kidnapping people and confining them in inhumane conditions (it's called prison). Additionally, when the "theft" involves survival, getting violent is a normal thing. This is not just a "totalitarian" measure.

What's going on here seems to be a social phenomenon because theft and a sketchy promise of repayment is essentially what happened. The only reason why the system remained stable was because people still accepted checks.

I mean would you accept an IOU as payment if you know the issuer essentially stole the money and won't return it when asked for it? Typically no.

> Nevertheless, the company signed a power purchase agreement with Helion, a fusion startup founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman earlier this year, with the hopes of buying electricity from it as soon as 2028.

Except that's not actually true, Sam Altman had nothing to do with that company's founding though he did play a role in leading Series E funding in late 2021. I was a bit spooked by this because it sounded like a clear-cut case of corruption as there is no way Sam Altman's start-up would succeed where many others have failed... but now it's a bit more murky and less clear the level of funny business involved in that deal.
> This is one of the reasons why masks are so important and why they don't need to be 100% effective. Just reducing the amount of viral load could turn a serious infection into something you might barely notice.

It would be nice to have some numbers to back this up. Let's suppose the "viral load" to acquire a Covid infection is 18 particles, the same as norovirus detailed in the article. And let's say you're exposed to hundreds of thousands of viral particles every minute you spend near a sick person [1]. If a mask reduces your viral load by 50%, is that a worthwhile method of avoiding infection?

What would really be helpful here is adding information about how much inference you can do on a given GPU.

Since transformers & attention scale quadratically this is quite important.

Knowing that I can load X model on a given GPU is good, knowing that I can expect to be able to perform Y inference at N tok/sec on that GPU with however much concurrence.
FTA: In the April blog post, I mentioned I needed a way to write type and namespace aliases, and that because all Cpp2 declarations are of the form thing : type = value, I decided to try using the same syntax but with == to denote “always equal to.”

So, I think we have

// new type
foo = std::vector<int>;
// alias of existing type
bar == std::vector<int>;

I guess that could evolve to (or maybe already has evolved to?)

// variable with initial value
foo: int = 42;
// constant
bar: int == 42;

Does anyone have a link to the actual legal text? I would like to know what they exacly require here. Some parts look really concerning to me like this citation:

“Second, the CRTC is setting conditions for online streaming services to operate in Canada. These conditions take effect today and require certain online streaming services to provide the CRTC with information related to their content and subscribership.”

The part about information related to their subscribership concerns me. Do they mean a breakdown by country? Like how many people from canada actually subscribe? Do they want a breakdown by age and gender? Or do they actually want information like the names of the subscribers. This can go from completely innocuous to actually very authoritarian.
Of course the display ad placed with the article is one from PP's campaign saying "Stand up to the woke Liberal-NDP coalition". I truly despise how the Conservative party imports Republican talking points and strategy wholesale from the US.
Exactly. A high price does not necessarily promise that you have the technical solution ready to go. There is such a thing as building an understanding with the client (even if the contract text itself is more conservative). That leads to a "relationship" with some level of solid grounds for it. As opposed to a common practive of throwing a one-off contract over the wall and merely praying that this will go well.
