Business insurance is what prevents isolated disasters from killing off businesses.

Insurance takes on many useful forms.

For instance, you can hire a winter season snow removal service from companies that indemnify you from people slipping and falling on your property based on their having an insurance umbrella that covers all their customers.

May not be relevant to Omegle. It takes a healthy income to be able to afford serious coverage. And it wouldn't help with the policing work or the protests of pearl clutchers who don't care about precautions, effort and resources for victim support, and just can't handle any failure of any kind.
No, and this was evidence used in the trial I believe. Commissions in peer countries have gone way down since the introduction of the internet to the process. Not so in the US.

Yep. It's basically a cartel. You can do whatever you want technically. But you instantly lose the the market reach if you don't pay your realtor tax.

> Social media doesn’t just operate at the individual level. Because it is a communication tool used by groups of people, it impacts even those who don’t use it. If a teen girl decides not to use social media and tries get together with her friends more frequently – as if it’s 1988 again – she’s unlikely to be successful. The norm for social interaction changed even for the few teens who resisted social media or used it sparingly.

Interesting. I was helping a friend wire his small business with 10 Gbit fiber, and the fiber patch cables from 10gtek ("the cheapest thing on amazon") were surprisingly resilient - we were yanking them through the false ceiling, getting caught on things, etc, no worries at all.

The fiber coming in from the ISP, OTOH, felt like the most delicate thing on the planet.
My buy-side broker was phenomenal. But many aren’t. This should be negotiated, and the party to whom duty is owed should be paying the agent (and negotiating their fee).
fine, but let's not compare meal cost to a house. that 6% is very arbitrary. i never got how selling a home in a major metropolitan area would require 10 times as much work for a realtor than a house in the middle of nowhere midwest for 200k. the flat percent doesn't make sense.
Totally agree. Honestly reading through the comments they sound a lot like spectator comments: The naysayers don't really sound like they've really sold a house before or bought one either. There's even some commenters steering the conversation toward renting apartments.

Realtors really are awesome when you need to get from one house to another quickly and smoothly.
> the value of those jobs plummet as well, especially as robotics get better, we get better training via AI, etc.

There's presumably still R&D teams designing the robots. Service teams maintaining them.

I'm not suggesting it won't be significantly disruptive. But it won't wipe out all employment either.

Perhaps we can look at the industries disrupted by technological progress before. What happened to the audio and video arts when digital media hardware and software revolutionized over the previous ~2 decades or so? In my estimation there's many new jobs that never existed before to go with all the jobs that are no longer required. Who maintains the servers used for video production?

Jobs definitely come and go. Some of these came and went, some are the next to go, and some will be difficult to obsolete - stable hands, lamplighters, gas station attendants, car repair person, dog groomer, cell phone repairperson, personal shopper, teacher, nurse, physicist, politician, engineer, physician, tour guide, farmer, valet, groundskeeper, window washer, waiter, chef.
It’s possible to build mostly renewable grids today with existing technology without nuclear. For example Marin Clean Energy generates over 90% of its energy from carbon free sources [1].

Storage and batteries are the key. Although lithium ion has limitations in the use case of long term discharge and storage, new chemistries are becoming commercially available that are appropriate for grid scale power. Iron Air batteries are made out of cheap, common materials, can discharge for up to 100 hours and can store power for long periods of time. Form Energy is building a plant in West Virginia that will produce these batteries and will open in 2024 [2].

Renewables are getting increasingly cheaper. Storage is increasingly more available. The writing is on the wall. Renewables are going to win out and it’s going to happen much sooner than conventional wisdom says.

Great, now clean up that clause in HIPAA that exempts protection of your health data from intelligence agencies. They don't even need a warrant. Intelligence agencies just need to ask and any company with your 'protected' health information can hand it over without any penalty and with zero liability. They don't even have to tell you they've done so.

Maybe it's paranoid to worry about such a thing. But then.. why do they need warrantless (and therefore untraceable) access to health information to begin with?

If ANY agent or associated personnel can make these requests, out of band and without a paper trail, how do we know there are no bad actors who may abuse the access?

We don't know. All principles of security say to assume there WILL be bad actors. In that case.. Therapy notes are great for blackmail. Medical conditions are great for assassination or simply sidelining a person temporarily with health issues.

And if a bad actor is caught? Their actions will be relegated to a secret court and never brought to light.

This is what bad clauses in our privacy laws have enabled for decades. A system that can be abused, invisibly, with very little oversight or accountability.

It is notable that "Strongly support" is twice as high in the Gaza Strip, where the Israeli military has built a wall around it and has maintained an indefinite ongoing land, sea, and air blockade on since 2007.

There’s tons of energy out there. It’s not feasible to switch our infrastructure to using those forms of energy using them as effectively as cheaply as we do fossil fuels.

One of the benefits to carbon taxes is unironically rationing. We will run out of oil slower. We value keeping oil in the ground WAY too lowly, that basically
preserves it indefinitely for free, in a form that doesn’t result in environmental chaos. I don’t know why people don’t think of oil in the ground as a strategic reserve.
> I don’t find this to be depressing

We'd have to redefine depressing to exclude that post. Look at all the ways it advocates quitting; it's impressive in a way.

> That is the way the various media outlets portray it. And that is the rhetoric that has taken over politics.

Do you think that makes it true? That seems to support my claim that it's trendy, and people repeating these things because others say it are by definition following a trend.

I've seen many trends come and go, but this one - despair as a trend - is the dumbest.

Also, who is going to get anything done? We aren't children; our parents won't fix things if we don't do it. We'd better get to work, like prior generations who sacrificed and built so much. What will you tell your grandkids - 'well, I just quit; it was the fashionable thing to do.'

Have you considered this trend is encouraged by people who don't want you getting in their way? You are handing all your power to them.
Seems like when I was growing up, there was just a community of neighbors that watched all of the kids as if they were their own.

Get your weekly mileage up. If you are running 4+ times a week, and making your standard run 8 or 10ks if possible (or at least doing it more often), you will fly past 35 mins for a 5k without even trying in only a few weeks.

Again the pointless and frankly silly comparison to cars… they’re categorically unrelated product classes: Ford‘s cars didn’t intentionally, as a feature of the vehicle, randomly put you into head on collision situations with others, which is essentially what Omegle did by design, while also NOT (in any sense) being fruitfully comparable to a manufacturer of vehicles.

Same with the equally pointless comparison to Discord… Omegle wasn’t merely a video chat service, it made random matches that the user could narrow by identifying their own interests; an adult male user identifying as being deeply interested in things only children would be interested in could readily and easily (and obviously) weaponize the platform, and Omegle absolutely could have (and should have) used the many and obvious means available for profiling and identifying such incongruous users, which (sure) would include human moderators.

There’s an enormous ethical difference between not doing anything whatsoever to prevent abuse and perfectly preventing abuse, and you seem to think they had no obligation to prevent any because they couldn’t prevent all… they don’t exist any more (thankfully) because lawyers started to (correctly) point out that that isn’t how either ethics or tort law work.

I've used Extempore and GRACE, the cross-platform GUI for Common Music. I am a Lisper so these tick that box. I always wanted to use Opusmodus, and I think I will now. It has great tutorials and documentation and seems to have matured nicely. It has high-concept functions for composing compared with some of the others that require for you to build those functions. I'm not sure how it will compare with Extempore's live coding abilities.
That may be how you feel about it, but the court may see it differently. If someone's paycheck is mistakenly mailed to you, even in cash, you can't deposit it.
I just heard that from a 20-something a few weeks ago. Personally, I've never been very good although I do hike and even do winter stuff. Though rock climbing done properly isn't especially dangerous at sane levels. It also has the advantage of being doable at either climbing gyms (which I assume are quite safe) as well as on real rock walls.

Fundamentally you’re correct, but the much bigger incentive on BOTH sides is to close the deal quickly. If they spend twice the amount of time on the transaction, their earnings per hour get cut in half. That’s a much bigger impact then a few percentage points in price swings.

You could rephrase it as:

All functions that a consumer could reasonably expect a car to perform without an internet connection must be operable without an internet connection. All features related to driving the vehicle, including but not limited to steering, braking, using traffic signals, starting/stopping, toggling locks or lights, opening or closing doors or compartments, and other standard features of a non-connected car must not require a network connection.

I think it’s probably OK if automakers want to onboard and support network features like maps or outsourced computation/diagnostics, but bricking everything because the company wants to collect user data and they want to opt out is obviously unethical. It’s important for these regulations to include the fact that they cannot be worked around or stapled on by the auto company post-hoc via firmware upgrades or the like.

I would say seeing is nothing here. It will be a lot about vibrations and sounds. Now you could also use pickup mics for this, but I guess it is sometimes just more straightforward to listen with your ears and avoid another layer of indirection.

Unfortunately rerere only solves the tedium of this task. I'm much more annoyed by cases like this: Person1 modifies line of code A (commit 1). In the other branch, Person2 modifies that line (commit 2). Then, Person2 notices that the first person has made a change, and takes that into account by rewriting their own change (commit 3). When you try to rebase these two branches, you might have to resolve a conflict between Commits 1 and 2, which is pointless work because those were never intended to coexist.
So starting in 1983 that's roughly five conversions a year assuming the figure of 200 people in the article. So a 1,000 years to get through all 5k members according to bruceb's post. The man is a legend but it goes to show how difficult it is to deradicalise people who are deep in an ideology of hate. Something relevant to think about with things going on around the world right now.

Stopping people from going down the rabbit hole in the first place is really the only viable long-term solution - easier done with individuals than entire communities sharing that ideology as the norm.
Sure, on an individual level. But that sounds like a failure at the societal level to me. We shouldn’t want the only people sharing their expertise to be the most comfortable with publicity.

IMHO they're symbiotic. Generative AI destroys trust; crypto lets you function in a trust-less world.

The killer app for generative AI is going to be propaganda. This hasn't entered the discourse yet because nobody wants to advertise that they're running a propaganda mill. I suspect they already exist though - there've been a number of news articles I've read recently where I'm like "I'm pretty sure somebody fed a tweet or police blotter into GPT-4 instead of writing this."

This works now because people are accustomed to trusting what they read. Once the channel has been flooded and it becomes cheap to make it look like your views are echoed by 1000 mainstream news media outlets and millions of people online, people will just stop believing everything they read. Similarly once any idiot can have ChatGPT write a college-level term paper, the skill of writing at the college level won't be worth anything. When you can have ChatGPT write a recommendation letter with a 15-second prompt, it ceases to be a useful signal for how much you believe in the person you're recommending. When you have GMail expand your one-sentence e-mail into 4 paragraphs with generative AI and then the recipient summarizes the 4 paragraph e-mail back into one-sentence, maybe you should've just written the one sentence to begin with.

The value in blockchain technologies is in unforgeability, scarcity, and forced consensus. In a world where forgery is trivially easy, content is trivially abundant, and nobody believes anybody else, a technology that ensures that mutually-distrusting computer systems all represent the same data gets quite valuable.

I suppose it depends on your premise. Is your AGI like a GPT-20, something that takes human input and intention and completes the mental labor like having a team of 1000 expert humans? Or is it more like a superintelligence that has its own will and goals that are potentially beyond human capability to understand?

If you’re talking a superintelligence, then forget it. The human race will have been surpassed and if we are kept around it will be like pets.

If it’s human level AGI under firm human control, then the value of intellectual work will approach zero, but the value of humans will, direction and discernment will be multiplied many times over. At that point it would be time to head for the stars.
Humans definitely evolved from a branch of primates to be much more plains bipeds--and then to other things (but I can't debate if the subsequent change and diversification is really evolution or some less major adaptation). Humans have many of the biological features of apes consistent with being comfortable climbing trees although much less optimized at this point.

I probably got a 25% discount on my condo because the realtor had terrible photos.

1. It has an outdoor rooftop patio with a gas fireplace. This was not mentioned anywhere in the listing.

2. They poorly photoshopped furniture into all of the rooms at incorrect sizes. Whoever was doing the photoshopping assumed it was 8 foot ceilings when they were 10. Made everything look cramped and tiny.

3. Misreported the monthly HOA fees by about +30%.

4. It had been on the market for 4 months with almost zero showings, I happened to be touring another unit in the building when I decided on a whim to check out 'the penthouse' with my realtor. Price hadn't dropped at all in that time, even though the market was fairly quick.
I can see it being useful for sellers, but not buyers.

I do think you should have someone help broker a deal of this magnitude, but it shouldn’t be a realtor. It should be an attorney.

You can get a real estate attorney to do the same thing for like $1500 or less where I’m located (north east). That’s a lot cheaper than what the commission would be for a realtor.

Anyone can find their own houses on Zillow now, and the inspector is separate from the realtor, so from my perspective, all the buyer’s realtor really does is call the other agent to arrange a time for a showing. That’s all they did in my case and they took 3% of the total value of the house (or their agency did - they didn’t pocket all the $ directly themselves).
