It depends on how good you want to be the shaving while traveling.

During the years I have been using more than a dozen of different kinds of shaving devices, but eventually I have also returned to traditional double-edge safety razors, because all the many later inventions are actually inferior, while straight razors are too inconvenient. I also use Feather blades.

Nevertheless, for business trips I use a Philips Oneblade, which is small and convenient. My second choice would be single-blade Bic disposables, which are very cheap but I find them better than the much more expensive multi-blade disposables or cartridge razors from Gillette or any others.

However, with Bic or the like I would also have to carry with me shaving consumables, so for trips I prefer the minimal solution with Oneblade, even if it does not shave as well as what I am using at home.

In the past I have also used several variants of the other kinds of electric razors, i.e. with rotary blades (e.g. Philips) or with foil blades (e.g. Panasonic), but now I believe that using any of them cannot be justified, because their shaving quality can never match that of good traditional DE blades (even when buying a top model that costs more than the DE blades that would be consumed during a decade), while in comparison with Oneblade they are too big and too heavy, less versatile and more irritating to the skin.
Relational algebra IR is implemented in MonetDB and discussed in their paper. Definitely worth reading.

Not trying to be picky but pure relational algebra doesn't map to SQL and IMO it's not a good idea to attempt to do that due to the fact that relational algebra treats tuples as mathematical sets (ordering/uniqueness matters) while SQL does not(and has to deal with nullability).

GDP is a terrible metric to illustrate your point. People have less disposable income because living costs have increased far quicker than wages, it’s really that simple. The majority of adults know this through lived experience, it’s extremely obviously that people are poorer on average than in the 90’s. That you’re having to search for statistics to answer this question reveals something about your living situation.

> Your premise is that a person being investigated when they're innocent of the original crime is basically harmless because the investigation will come to naught.

Not at all. I would say that it's usually (not always!) small in the particulars but adds up in aggregate, and that we should be a lot more careful with how much surveillance we allow.

I just would also say that the kinds or amounts of harm being done there are manifestly not what Blackstone was talking about in his "formulation" as it leads immediately to absurd conclusions that go very well past the present case.

I will not here that "there is a concern here analogous to Blackstone's ratio" is a different thing than, paraphrasing what was up thread, "this is substantially more extreme than Blackstone's ratio should forbid".

And in case I haven't said it in thread anywhere, I share concerns about surveillance. I just think if we are enlisting support from historical figures, we should find a quote where they're talking about the question or acknowledge the distance, rather than pretending the quote means something it didn't - that will only turn off those who might be persuaded.
You're missing the bigger picture too. Silicon Valley Bank didn't collapse - it was bailed out with unlimited money from the bigger banks.

The only limitation the banking system faces is excuses to loan money (one of the reason long-standing wars that last for years are increasingly common - the banking system gets to fund both sides)
IMHO the problem here is really transparency. There IMHO can be situation in which it could be reasonable. But the concrete cases might be questionable as we are probably not talking about capital crime.

In Berlin there used to be a notification system if you were subjected to cell surveillance in Berlin. It was recently stopped [0]. IMHO we need the same for all IP assignment or account lookups. The problem IMHO is that we, individualy, and particularly vulnerable groups like journalists and activists, might be subject to far more of such activities than we know.

Trading firms with good documentation culture?
I work at a prop trading firm as a low latency C++ engineer in America.

A major frustration is that much of the tech stack is not documented. The general thought is that the code should be self documenting but in my opinion this shouldn't extend to things like, widely used datamodels where fields are not clearly defined. Or internal frameworks where the architecture is not documented at all, but critical to understand.

Are there any trading firms people can recommend where this is NOT the case? The industry is good to work in but I get the impression that this is fairly common at competitors. I would really like to work somewhere where documentation is valued and the developers time is valued, rather than just the software produced working.

Nothing about what he said disrespects women. Matehood is and has always been an economic enterprise.

It’s astonishing how gender politics has completely blinded people to the nature and history of their own species.

Enough is enough. Stop backing down when a power group sets out to intimidate you to get more than its share.

The reason some people are acting like this is misogyny is because it’s a convenient trope that motivates shallow women.

There is real misogyny, you know. This kind of reaction to someone saying “play in a different league if you want to win more games” just hurts the cause of dealing with real misogyny.
Hmm. Some of this is true but I never saw 1st class immigration. Possibly you get in line first, but often there's an A380 worth of economy passengers there from another flight that landed 30min prior.
I've seen this quoted multiple times now and I do not think it is the slam dunk people think it is. A literal monopoly is 100% market share, of course that is not required for antitrust law to apply. But the people who quote this intend to imply that 60% market share is sufficient to declare Apple a monopolist in violation of antitrust law, and that does not actually follow from a careful reading of this quote.

I will reply with a separate quote from the DOJ discussing what thresholds of market share are likely to be considered monopoly power:

> In determining whether a competitor possesses monopoly power in a relevant market, courts typically begin by looking at the firm's market share.(18) Although the courts "have not yet identified a precise level at which monopoly power will be inferred,"(19) they have demanded a dominant market share. Discussions of the requisite market share for monopoly power commonly begin with Judge Hand's statement in United States v. Aluminum Co. of America that a market share of ninety percent "is enough to constitute a monopoly; it is doubtful whether sixty or sixty-four percent would be enough; and certainly thirty-three per cent is not."(20) The Supreme Court quickly endorsed Judge Hand's approach in American Tobacco Co. v. United States.(21) Following Alcoa and American Tobacco, courts typically have required a dominant market share before inferring the existence of monopoly power. The Fifth Circuit observed that "monopolization is rarely found when the defendant's share of the relevant market is below 70%."(22) Similarly, the Tenth Circuit noted that to establish "monopoly power, lower courts generally require a minimum market share of between 70% and 80%."(23) Likewise, the Third Circuit stated that "a share significantly larger than 55% has been required to establish prima facie market power"(24) and held that a market share between seventy-five percent and eighty percent of sales is "more than adequate to establish a prima facie case of power."(25)

https://www.justice.gov/archives/atr/competition-and-monopol...

My reading of this is that below 50% is very unlikely to be considered monopoly power while above 70-80% is very likely. 60% appears to sit somewhere in between where it is possible but not likely. Historically, I have not seen any major cases where monopoly power was found at the market share level that Apple currently holds.

It is worth noting that the DOJ in their filing does not seem very confident in being able to prove that Apple's 60% of the smartphone market constitutes monopoly power either. They have instead opted to define a narrower market of "performance smartphones" where Apple apparently holds 70% market share, putting it above the thresholds quoted above. Whether this artificially narrowed market definition will be accepted by the courts will likely determine the outcome of this case.
> There are cases like the bombing in Madrid where the US agencies cast out a wide net over possible suspects using data about people who converted to Islam and then used a bad finger print match (which everyone told them was garbage) to terrorize one suspect for weeks.

Some hyperbole in your telling of the story and failure to mention that he was awarded restitution. According to Wikipedia:

Brandon Mayfield (born July 15, 1966) is a Muslim-American convert in Washington County, Oregon, who was wrongfully detained in connection with the 2004 Madrid train bombings on the basis of a faulty fingerprint match. On May 6, 2004, the FBI arrested Mayfield as a material witness in connection with the Madrid attacks, and held him for two weeks, before releasing him with a public apology following Spanish authorities identifying another suspect.[1] A United States DOJ internal review later acknowledged serious errors in the FBI investigation. Ensuing lawsuits resulted in a $2 million settlement.

What point are you trying to make with this example?
I can agree with that. It is like the frog in slowly boiling water, just the other way around, people don't realize and appreciate, in what wealth they live and that we all make it constantly better for everyone, consciously or unconsciously.

But people look at other people who are visibly better off, compare themselves against those and get tricked into believing, that it is no just. How he can have more? Must be evil! Stolen from the people! Typical divide and conquer, to play with ego and greed, that causes misery and anger among our fellows. It makes me sad to see the same scheme being played out everytime.
People aren't going to download some random app just to talk to you, nor will you be able to convince your whole family (who all use FaceTime/iMessage) to use something else just to include you.
Effectively no! It doesn't depend on pressure. Basically just temperature (Also composition, esp: water content and form).

That relies on assumptions (ideal gas, adiabatic compression) that might break down for supersonic jets, but it's pretty close for the speed of sound.
> This isn't any different. It's just different sets of photons and electrons.

And a dictator is just another set of cells and organic compounds? You can't break things down into this because then literally everything is the same. Literally everything you see is just a different set of photons and electrons. But those things have real effects. They aren't fungible. I don't care that my partner sees pictures of me naked, but I sure do care if cops or "the government" is, despite it being "just a different set of photons and electrons."

> The burden of proof will still be on the investigators and prosecution to find out and show beyond a shadow of a doubt who performed the swatting.

The burden of proof is step by step. I don't think I should have to cite the 4th Amendment but

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and ***no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.***

The setup was to treat the government as an adversary. Needing to understand positive rights vs negative rights[0]. Obviously rights are not infinite, but there should be friction. Doesn't matter if the thing is seemingly innocent or inconsequential, what matters is power. Perception shifts and creeps so this is why people take a stand at what might seem trivial. [1]

The major reason for a base inflation this: If there was zero inflation, then keeping cash in the bank is the safest thing to do. If everyone does this, money moves less, less investment, slower economy. Sure some will still invest, but the vast majority of people will just put money in the bank, or under their mattress.

With >0% inflation, you now need to do something with your money or else you lose money. If my great great grandparents buried their life savings and gave I received it now, I'd get a new laptop and that's about it.

So now everyone has to invest it. 401k's, other investments, etc. This makes the economy start moving, more activity, this is the 'velocity' of money they mentioned as being a key factor in the health of an economy.

> But why? Not asking to be difficult; I'm trying to understand why we should listen to either.

Because our thoughts and feelings are really all we have to go on, when it comes to understanding the world around us.

I don't mean that _every_ thought or feeling should be acted on necessarily, but that they should all be given consideration.

For example, I read somewhere that ~70% of atheists admit to praying in the last year (or something like that. I don't remember the source). I think it's fair to say that the urge or feeling of wanting to pray is common.

Many people would dismiss that feeling with their thoughts, i.e. rationalise why the feeling is really a result of something else etc.

Whereas my take (by listening to my feelings) is that perhaps there is a reason why the urge to pray is a common one, and it might be as simple as something/someone to pray to actually exists.
I think it was sqlpkg! Thank you. That was bothering me so much!
it had emperically shown to be effective for the economy.

in the end the economy as a whole is a setup for work and collaboration.

if the farmer does not want to work, i can't spend my earned money on their produce.

inflation has shown to be an effective tool to ensure that people partake in the workforce.

- lowering wages keeps people on the lookout for new skills and increases job mobility.

lastly, inflation does not. increase the wealth of bond holders. only when they miscalculated their rate such that interest is higher than inflation. This has certainly not been the case the pa's 6-7 years where bond holders have lost big time.

He's intentionally trying to make the superintelligences stay superintelligent by not describing them. I think it's pretty effective. He did the same thing in Across Realtime.

His first book Tatja Grimm's World was also about superintelligent people (or the whole rest of the planet except them was sub-intelligent, or something… it's not clear). That one is, hmm, not nearly as good as his later ones. So I think it's just as well he didn't try.

Disagree. A few weeks ago, I followed a step-by-step tutorial to diwnlad ollama, which in turn can download various models. On my not-soecisl laptop with a so-so graphics card, Mixtral runs just fine.

You can get registered DDR4 for ~$1/GB. A trillion parameter model in FP16 would need ~2TB. Servers that support that much are actually cheap (~$200), the main cost would be the ~$2000 in memory itself. That is going to be dog slow but you can certainly do it if you want to and it doesn't cost $50,000.

1. Upload a video to YouTube,
2. Make it non-public, but possible to view for people who have links,
3. Post it to some shady underground forum full of people who want to do bad things to you for money,
4. Build the net of connections and track people who did watch the non-public link, see who knows who in this degenerate world of extorsions and theft,
5. Send the message to criminals that if they want to continue what they're doing, then even YouTube isn't safe for them,
6. Profit.

Any one of those components, something like the 3D knitted headband, would have probably required Manhattan Project levels of resources to create 100 years ago.
