As a content company who owns ISPs, I would LOVE NATs.

Why? Keeps P2P like BitTorrent, soulseek, gnutella, and newer protocols crippled. And content creators don't want people consuming content other than through themselves.

And a NAT can also differentiate between "consumer household" and "business" - do you get a real IP or not?

It's also why companies like Comcast zero-rate their own content.

EDIT: for you -1'ers ; you DO realize that most mega-ISP-content companies want the push-style of the television back, right? And these companies will institute NAT, data caps, and "3 strikes" to boot people off.
I assume they are comparing it to its direct competitors. Target is the main one.
Okay -- so how do you respond to environmentalists who were completely and utterly wrong (e.g. Paul Erlich, The Club of Rome)?

What I'm offering is a theory of why they were wrong: they have an unconscious hostility torward humanity which they channel into irrational, incorrect beliefs about the environment. There's a lot of this going around right now.

Of course that doesn't mean that all environmentalism is similarly compromised. The desire to preserve ecosystems, to measure and limit the impact of industry on the environment is generally good.
It is not this developer's job to parent someone's kids. It is a parent's responsibility to make sure their child only gets access to the appropriate websites when they are young.
Back in the early 2000s my secondary DNS server was getting slammed with MX requests from some spammer. I set up a BIND view for just that requesting IP that returned the IP of the FBI mail server for every MX request. I then contacted the spammer’s ISP and told them what I had done. I’ve never seen an ISP take their customer down so quickly.
There's a great paper from Ryan Schmidt called "Interactive decal compositing with discrete exponential maps" which tackles this exact problem as well. A more modern variant can be found in the "Vector Heat Method" by the authors of geometry-central, Nicholas Sharp and Keenan Crane, which can compute very accurate "log maps".

It's really cool to see this running interactively in the web!! Super slick stuff :)
idk, I have been using youtube music and it doesn't seem way worse than spotify. Maybe we use it differently.

Anecdotally, I fit this description. I own a large SUV as my daily driver. It is fully paid off. I use it to get lunch and other errands for most trips. About once a month or so, I need to use the full capacity of the vehicle. This would run 50-100 bucks to rent an equally capable vehicle.

For me, it is absolutely worth saving 600-1200 bucks a year to not have to deal with the inconvenience of renting a vehicle to run an errand once a month. That price doesn’t include any insurance changes, getting to/from the rental place, and any additional costs I’m unaware of.

I think I'm missing something?

* Trust & Safety [1] seems to be about safeguarding PII and having a moderation

* Tech Ethics - I can't find a general definition but I think about new ethical situations caused by tech. eg if you train an generative AI on artist X is it ethical to have the AI create images that look like artist X

* risk management - I haven't follow the case closely, I think of the SBF case mainly being about fraud and less about their risk management.

So even if we count those 3 the other 9 reasons, including the first 7 Andreessen lists, are unrelated

> and their second-class ADU "owners" who live in the fancy shed behind their home

The primary home is not upper class; it’s the worse of the two units. It just becomes two houses without backyards. I’ve seen such houses for sale in Seattle. An old house with a big yard on a 5000 sqft lot turns into an old house + a new house, both without backyard. The new unit is not second-class; it is a nice house but just without backyard.

This could be you one day! https://gizmodo.com/the-humble-origins-of-the-html-blink-tag...

> At some point in the evening I mentioned that it was sad that Lynx was not going to be able to display many of the HTML extensions that we were proposing, I also pointed out that the only text style that Lynx could exploit given its environment was blinking text. We had a pretty good laugh at the thought of blinking text, and talked about blinking this and that and how absurd the whole thing would be. The evening progressed pretty normally from there, with a fair amount more drinking and me meeting the girl who would later become my first wife.

> Saturday morning rolled around and I headed into the office only to find what else but, blinking text. It was on the screen blinking in all its glory, and in the browser. How could this be, you might ask? It turns out that one of the engineers liked my idea so much that he left the bar sometime past midnight, returned to the office and implemented the blink tag overnight. He was still there in the morning and quite proud of it.

> In the perfect game, you should still be in with a shot of winning even if you’re not as practised as your opponent.

The article just casually drops this statement and then runs with it. I feel it should be examined, though. There should definitely be range in which a not as practiced player can beat a more experienced one, but to have that decided by luck makes the victory unearned. I believe a perfect game should be one with no luck, so if I win my opponent cannot dismiss my victory as "getting lucky".

Losing to an opponent who got lucky just feels bad, and for me personally, winning because I got lucky feels empty.
If a corporation donates heavily to anti-government think tanks, funds several union-busting operations, sponsors politicians that write laws that would exempt that corporation from having to pay tax.....then we're not criticizing the government, we're calling the corporation out for antisocial behavior.

If I run a company, make bank, and then use that money to engage in lobbying that would see public services cut significantly, I shouldn't get to whine that those same public services (which includes policing) should be protecting my private interests first and foremost.

Well - I myself think historical methods are perfectly reasonable for establishing historical facts - and the credibility of Christianity is primarily a question of historical fact. And Keener's books were what convinced me that miracles definitely still happen, a case I don't remember specifically because it's been a minute, but which I do remember being both meticulous and overwhelming.

But I am curious, if you are willing to condescend a little further - if historical evidence is out as an entire category (which seems already unreasonable to me, but let's go with it), what sort of "better" evidence are you looking for? I mean, it sounds like this is not a new argument to you, so I expect you'll know what I mean when I say, "I think the astrophysics stuff is really good." I mean, it's so insanely good that it makes people who want to reject God say insane-sounding things about unbelievable numbers of unverifiable parallel universes. At which point I think just believing in God is way simpler. Or, I think the origin of life stuff is really good - good enough to convert Anthony Flew and make Nobel Laureates start talking about panspermia. I have some personal stories that have historically been good enough to require telepathic space aliens as an alternative explanation, in discussions like this.

Just speculating on how the "understanding" may come about:

In the given images above, it may be clear from context (text? tags? exif info etc?) of images in its training data, that it's unusual for people to be dragged on a rope behind a horse, very unusual / dangerous for 747 sized airplanes to fly on their side, or houses to be lying on their side on a beach. And hence, describe such a view with "unusual", "dramatic", etc. Would it even need to understand a conceptual meaning of those words? Apply label, done.

Don't people work the same, in a way? Over the years we'll rarely see a house burning in person. We see news reports of such events mentioning people dead or severely burned. So after a while that 'training set' is enough to say: "person stumbling out of a burning house = something bad happened".

Yes, humans may then reflect on how they would feel if placed in unlucky person's shoes, and rush to alleviate that person's pain. Or cringe by the thought of it.

But in the end: maybe, just maybe, what human brains do isn't so special after all? Just training data, pattern match with external input & use results to self-reflect.

Everything you're saying resonates, though I'm in that "10 years" zone, ahead of you, in regards to parenting.

I'm here to talk about the problems of adolescent girls in this era, if you ever want to reach out. A horrible reality I've lived as a parent.

And I would like to build the online social world we wanted, back in the early 90s, rather than the one we eventually sold ourselves to, or were sold to.

... and to me that social tech we need is concrete rather than virtual. It's immanent rather than transcendent. Infra or "within", rather than meta and "without", or virtual. Its creative rather than passive-consumptive. And narrative-textual-descriptive rather than artificial-graphical. And to me the outline of that looks something like what was being grasped at in the early 90s with synchronous, live, shared creative social worlds like LambdaMOO -- if that isn't too obscure for you -- than what we ended up with the web, and then Facebook, Twitter, etc.

The peer to peer aspect is of less ... interest? ... to me? I'm not convinced that this aspect of it is as important as it is to refocus on control/ownership, intimacy, and moderation?

A technology being published does not mean that it is available, especially for technologies that require uptake by the general public. And, well, PGP and GPG have reputations for such awful usability that they _might as well not exist_ as far as the general public is concerned. As another comment here mentions, just look at its uptake numbers! There are probalby more people qualified to do open-head neurosurgery than there are people who are qualified to use PGP. It's no more "available" than the C64 demoscene, orbital rocketry, or quantum physics. Signal and Apple and Google aren't being credited for developing the core tech, they're being credited for refining it until they can wrap it up in a package that's so user-friendly and low-friction that _every single person on the planet_ can use it.

Ok, so I went and checked what are the taxes for detergent powder. It could be very wrong as I don't know the nuances of the sales tax.

There are the federal import duties + taxes, amounting to 29.4%. Note that this rate is specific for powdered dishwasher detergent.

Considering the standard São Paulo state sales tax of "18%" which is actually 21,95% as you don't simply multiply the good's price by the rate, but divide it by 1-rate, you end up with a 58,38% effective tax rate for importing and selling the detergent powder. Ah yes, the federal taxes compose the tax base as well, so you are paying taxes on the privilege of being taxed.

A good proxy for the right retail price would be just multiplying the US retail price - that already includes the profit - by the effective rate, which would land it at around $ 12. Consider that no sane business would be paying retail prices (and the import duties are applied to the bulk/transfer price), you can figure out that there's at least 169% of profit tacked on the package of detergent.

Every try to rent a truck for use as a truck? To haul rock for example? You will spend more than a day just finding a place that will allow that (everyone else will see the scratches and dents that does to the truck and charge you expensive damages). I've also called uhaul before and discovered they we sold out (uhaul doesn't allow rock type uses, but does cover some truck needs).

There are also times when you don't need a truck, just a larger car, renting that is $100/day. And again I've tried before and discovered the rental cars place was sold out when I needed one.

It's an absolute pain for even single direction communication, as most NATs are going to be stateful — they have to retain, somewhere, the mapping between internal IP/port & external port. And that mapping is in finite memory, and old mappings are usually timed out of it, killing the connection, if there is one.

(You can hack around this with keepalives, but it's just another PITA because of the original sin of breaking the end to end principle.)
> In other cases, everyone seems to agree that the renamings are acts of tribal identity politics.

Depends on the place. The British changed the names of many places because they could not pronounce them. A lot of those places will eventually go back to their old names.

> a woman named Droupadi Murmu is the (mostly ceremonial) president.

Presidents have just about enough power to be a major irritant to the three arms of government, if they so wish. They can sit on bills passed by parliament indefinitely (pocket veto). They are first in the order of precedence[1] which is a check on the vanity of politicians in the executive.

> the government, led by Manmohan Singh as Finance Minister, ended License Raj, reduced tariffs, and deregulated many aspects of the economy.

This would have been impossible without the political backstopping provided by Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao. The man managed to run a minority government to full term. I don't think the feat has been repeated at the center or state level since then.

Great discussion point.

I'm all for strong reactions. Heated debate, swift actions, deep self reflection. Yes, all welcome. For example, if OP had password protected his site I would applaud.

But my personal views are:

- strong reactions aren't "justification" to further escalate violence.

- intentionally using that specific image to inflict harm on people is definitely violence.

So, I'm going to take a moment to advocate for that perspective, Even though I may not sway anyone. After all, silence is acceptance.

1031 exchange by itself only defers taxes (which can be helpful for cash flow purposes). People combine it with the stepped up basis loophole to avoid taxes completely.

As for Proposition 13/58 inheritance, note that Proposition 19 (2020) restricted the inheritance benefit to only family homes and farms, so I don’t think inheritance is a widespread benefit anymore. Proposition 19 also made the property tax basis portable, so the increasing property tax is no longer an impediment to grandma moving.
