Current interest rates are not high by historical standards. Zero interest rates were an abnormality that could not last indefinitely.

High interest rates will be tough on governments, private equity, and real estate. But employment is high and corporate profits are doing fine, so there's no need for a "stimulus".
Also, it is a field with a very low barrier to entry.

IANAA, but if the depreciated book value of a movie or show exceeds projected future revenue, shouldn't they be writing down the difference rather than writing off the asset?

Put another way, unless they physically destroy all copies of the movie or show or, for some other reason, are no longer able to distribute, license, or sell it, how can they plausibly argue that the fair market value of streaming rights to a reasonably popular movie or show is zero?
In addition, 430 million troy ounces (of Silver) were used for the Y-12 plant in Oak Ridge. But this was just on-loan from the US Treasury. According to this Wikipedia article, 0.036% was lost when all was returned to the treasury, some 155 thousand troy ounces.

I have seen a number of motorcycle delivery drivers in the city in which I live who have _two_ phones on holders on their scooters - one for the delivery app, one for tiktok. They jam up the traffic lights because they don't notice when the lights go green because they're literally glued to the tok. It's genuinely disturbing.

This is 100% true, and what’s worse is that in many cases, due to the flawed internal processes that got the customer to request the feature in the first place, it will most often be poorly considered, break all kinds of valid assumptions (ie, be hard to implement), and will often not be used. I don’t know how many features I shipped for UAT only to never get feedback, but it happened so often that I ended up making it part of my services contract that if they don’t UAT within a specific time then I get paid regardless.

And while you’re working on this useless feature, you’re distracted from your own road map, which is (hopefully) well considered and likely to lead to new clients. So it’s a triple whammy - tech debt, wasted time, restricted progress.

This is why I’m not interested in enterprise any more. I want to do quality work that helps my customers. That attitude alone makes it easier to sell to midrange clients.

It's usually blocky compression artifacts that show up at 720p and some 1080p encodes. They're most noticeable in dark or fast moving scenes.

On Netflix, The Sandman looked abysmally bad at 720p. The complex backgrounds became a garbled mess and the dark scenes were filled with banding.
Tbh I think ‘they’ can still be used to describe what you say. I don’t mean it as a far out thing, just an abstraction. AFAI figure, there’s lot of different people doing lots of different things for lots of different reasons. Rather than the dangerous narrative, is it ok to word it as more like: there are ways to control/direct society, a lot of them have been figured out, various people use them, to various effect. Is that kind of they ok?

For example, there exists people that use addictive strategies such as by casinos to hook people into their app. Leaving at that level of abstraction I feel as though that group can be a ‘they’. It just feels like an easy way to reference a group as long as I’m sincerely not trying to pull a fast one on anyone… which I hope I’m not :s

I would have liked to have taken home the broken escalator too, or the lifetimes of toner from the xerox-Kyocera change, but I worry about becoming a horder always thinking ‘well it’d be a waste to throw it away.’ Poverty trauma I heard it’s called.

I hope the straw thing wasn’t flawed, not as in ‘so why bother’, coz yeah it was a one off thing, more like the priority was to print off a bunch of advertising to get on the straw change goodwill bandwagon.

It does make a difference on some operating systems. Specifically DOS (and by extension, Windows, at least sometimes. As usual with Microsoft it gets complicated).

When enabling text mode transfers in these systems, newlines gets translated from LF to CRLF on the DOS side.

That's probably because your TV is seamlessly upscaling every signal it can receive to 4K. Newer TVs are very good at that.
Singular "pant" has recently-ish become accepted fashion industry jargon: "Our spring collection includes a khaki pant and a capri pant". I've started to see it creep from there into everyday language.
I'm a fairly calm person and not many things produce anger in me, but seeing someone on their phone while driving is one of the few things that make me rage.
(NB: I was originally discussing anger, as distinct from violence, but as long as we're here...)

The most famous example of non violence is the Independence of India. If I squint, I guess I can see the nascent US as having provided the credible threat in that case, but there was still a decade to go between independence and suez.

Edit: modulo a few exceptions, the fall of the Soviet Union was also a stunning success for non violence, and one where the credible threat wasn't explicitly invoked and isn't immediately clear. (as far as I can tell a generation came into power who decided "you know, how the System works and how we were told it worked when we were Young Pioneers have significant differences; why should we keep doing this?" and the rest is history)
I think this focus on their being an 'underlying issue' is problematic; many times there is no underlying issue, these are just normal humans with normal brains being totally normally affected by a product that's designed to be addictive. They don't need therapy because there's nothing wrong with them, in fact if there was something wrong with them they'd be less likely to become addicted. They just need to remove themselves from the influence of the addictive substance i.e. put the phone down, socialise normally and build strong bonds with their family and their local community.

People by and large don't need therapy and to pathologise and dwell on nonexistent issues, they really just need to hang out more with other people and realise that what they're seeing online isn't representative of reality.
> The use of the bomb ended the war...

Yes, although the situation is now understood quite differently. The atom bomb gave Japan's leaders a critically necessary (due to their culture) way to both save face and surrender.

Their need for a way out was desperate. Not particularly because of the US (& UK), whose invasion of southern Japan they felt well-prepared to fight. (Inch-by-inch, and to the death.) But because of the Soviets, who the Japanese had assumed would say neutral, per the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact (signed 13 April 1941, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet%E2%80%93Japanese_Neutra...).

Unfortunately, the Soviets declared war against Japan on 7 August 1945. Two days later, they invaded Japanese-held Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, northern Korea, etc. The Red Army, with 1.5 million men, quickly inflicted massive defeats on the Japanese army - and parts of the latter were retreating in panic. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Manchuria_Operation_map-e... for some sense of the speed and scale of this offensive.)

Hence Japan's decision, on 15 August, to surrender. Neither their ability to hold off the US in the south, nor their willingness to absorb hits from the new American bomb, would matter one bit if the Red Army quickly conquered Japan from the north and west.
I'm pretty sure you can deal with 2fa on Kai OS feature phones. They also include Gmail, Google maps, and WhatsApp access... on a tiny screen where you won't get sucked in for hours.

This is similar to not counting bank deposits as revenue and withdrawals as costs. Only when your money goes to pay fees is it booked as bank revenue. The same for money transmitters like Western Union.

And perhaps is more obvious when you consider what happens when there’s only players, eg, poker. The pot is held in trust, until the game ends and the losers forfeit their money to the winner. At no point does it belong to the casino.

That doesn’t change when the casino is also a player.
It's also likely to cause additional layoffs, since companies are forced to refinance with higher interest rates, and will need to cut cost to continue to post positive wall street results. (At proper time): https://youtu.be/ovXaIFPy-ks?t=632

They don't have all the data.

Your tax office wouldn't automatically know about self employment, investment earnings, your private business expenses, collected rent, profit from reselling things, etc, and they'd expect you to declare them via some form of self-assessment.

The US takes one step further by allowing a plethora of non-earning items to be declared as deductions on your return (mortgage interest, healthcare expenses, kids, etc) which the IRS needs to be told about.
Here's my "boring" workflow:

1. Start project (mkdir, git init),

2. Make virtualenv using virtualenvwrapper,

3. Write project.toml file for setuptools,

4. pip install -e .

5. To add deps, add them to pyproject.toml and repeat step 4. Do not pip install deps directly. Do not pin deps to any particular version, but if you have to you can add constraints like >=5 (I need a feature introduced in v5).

6. If you are writing a package to be pip installed by others then you're done. Read setuptools docs for how to build etc.

7. If you also want to build an environment to run your code (e.g. docker image for deployment or serverless deployment etc) use pip-tools to pin your dependencies. (This is the only reason you need requirements.txt).

8. For test dependencies (e.g. pytest) or dev dependencies (e.g. test server) leverage optional dependencies in the pyproject.toml file. This plays very nicely with tools like tox, which you should use. Use pre-commit for linting etc.

If you want to go to uni for tech go for physics, CE, ME, or EE. Machines will still exist in the future. Software development as we know it likely will not or the need for workers will be greatly reduced due to various forms of automation.

Always loved Anthony Bourdain. He used to come down to the Cayman Islands at least once a year with other A-list chefs for a culinary festival. He'd hang out at my local beach bar. Always hoped to run into him there, but I missed him every year. Wasn't enough of a stan to go looking for him. Just wish I'd bumped into him and shared a beer.

That may be true, but looking at just one miniscule facet of the computing world is pretty irrelevant. "Desktop usage" is one very tiny and decreasing niche market, in today's world.

If you look at TOTAL Linux usage, the argument is really pointless. I'd venture to guess (and merely a guess, mind you) that Linux usage is about 98%, with the number of Microsoft systems being merely rounding error. The items in my house alone that use Linux in some fashion would be about a dozen.*

There are A LOT of household appliances that use Linux 'under the bonnet' where it is hardly ever seen, and Linux computers are so cheap that anybody can dedicate a Linux computer to doing nothing but one single task. I have a headless Raspberry Pi which silently sits on the end of a cable and does nothing else at all but host a website.

* 'Non-computer stuff' off the top of my head: washing machine, satellite TV box, two smart TVs, fiber-to-the-house internet box and router, fridge, .... and I'm sure there's more. (Anything where a 'reset' takes 10 seconds or more is very probably Linux-based.)
To be more explicit: either one has the power to gain remedy via extralegal means or one does not. If one does, doing so angrily or not doesn't change much. If one does not, I claim that first gaining the necessary power ("sleep on brushwood and taste gall") is much more likely to be effective than rashly attempting something in the expectation anger should somehow magically augment one's initial lack of power.

(in fact the latter rash attempts are likely to be advantageous for one's adversary, hence the original "hollywood for proles" conspiracy theoretic hypothesis given above)
In another adjacent thread, people are talking about the implications of a neural network conforming to the training data with some error margin with regards to copyright.

Many textbooks on information theory already call out the content-addressable nature of such networks[1], and they’re even used in applications like compression due to this purpose[2][3], and therefore it’s no surprise that the NYT prompting OpenAI models with a few paragraphs of their articles reproduced them nearly verbatim.

It’s still jewelry. Like I said, it’s not just the bands, Apple changes the device finishes every time they release a new product.

And yes, I would argue that a smartphone case is jewelry. I would argue that the phones themselves are also jewelry!

The fact that Apple brought back people who had stopped wearing watches just shows that there was demand for that sort of thing, and it was being unmet by traditional watches. People still want to see the time quickly but they now demand more than that.

Yes, we segment out the luxury watch and commodity watch markets. Both of those markets are growing as a whole.

If you are interested in setting up your own non-profit org marketplace or know someone who does, I made an example one using free tools (https://donate.pcblues.com/) that costs me only about $10 USD per month to host the example because it is just a hosted linux VM and not Saas or software subscription based. I configured the VM myself and then "just" installed the software and configured it. It hasn't been down for ages. I only just remembered to check it. It does everything from merch and service websites to escrowed payment transactions, user reputation, etc.

Early DefCons were on the strip, and for reasons never officially made public, DefCon got banned from the strip. AFAIU, that's why it was in the Alexis Park for many years. I was actually surprised when I learned it was allowed back onto the strip. Given the high rate of incidents and the surface area for attack, I completely understand why Caesar's dropped them. What I don't get is how they allowed DefCon back onto the strip in the first place.

Netflix actively fights against these integrations - both on Apple TV and on Google/Android TV they refuse to integrate with the APIs that would give you this exact experience.

They also tend to refuse allowing their customers to watch on platforms they don't like - e.g. they actively blocked casting to Google smart displays and blocked Netflix app from working on Macs and Vision Pro so you can't download things.

Inflicting pain to create reflection? I don't think that's the best way to achieve what you propose.

It just creates a lot of wasted effort across the whole population, people can't decide to stop paying taxes like a subscription if they so want to, the only power they have is to vote some people in that might (or might not) change the taxation based on their platforms, that's basically powerless and you support creating friction and inflicting pain in those individuals every single year with a loft notion that people will stop and reflect about what they are paying.

They won't, they will just hate filing taxes, while being on the hook if they send the IRS the wrong figure (which they already know about), it's simply insane that the USA does not provide pre-filled tax forms like so many other developed economies.
I've only read a few pages around a couple of cited parts, just to make sure the citing author is not just making things up. It's too long otherwise.

Same problem with Netflix absolutely no local subtitles/dubs available.

Meanwhile one local streamer telecom has regional content + Disney for 7 Euros a month with dubs/subs.

Another local telecom streamer has regional content + HBO with subs/dubs for 6 Euros a month.

Not sure how they got HBO and Disney so cheap but these are multi-country regional streamers - half government / Scandinavian owned.

So Netflix had to go.

As others have pointed out alternatives, you can also just ask yourself whether the convenience of those things you listed in total are worth more than the drawbacks. If you constantly lose time by mindless scrolling, if you are unable to focus anymore, if you start suffering from FOMO all the time, if you social interactions and friendships suffer etc. the question is whether the comfort of those conveniences are worth the drawbacks. And some very obvious point about that: All of the things you mentioned, you didn't have 10 years ago. Was your life that bad (becaues of the lack of those things) at that time?
