> I'm not big on police over-reach but to claim that the chain of responsibility for a crime ends at some arbitrary point is silly on its face.

It's not about an arbitrary point, it's about whether you're actively participating in the crime. So for example:

> Should either side of a hitman-for-hire arrangement not be penalized for participating in a crime?

Paying someone to commit murder is conspiracy to commit murder, not money laundering. It has nothing inherently to do with banks or KYC and is just as illegal if you pay the hitman in gold bullion or Monero.

> Turning off a criminal's money laundering spigot is a deterrent against committing that crime.

But that doesn't actually happen, because the rules only trap the unwary. Innocent people who don't know that doing something will get their account locked even though they've done nothing wrong.

Criminal organizations are repeat players with their own lawyers, so they know what not to do, and then they don't get caught because money is fungible. For example, if they're selling pot brownies and it's illegal to sell pot, they just put down on the form that they're selling ordinary brownies. Or cherry pie, or car washes, or it doesn't matter what because they just put a legal product on the form and then they only get caught if the government independently comes to investigate their criminal enterprise, which is the same way they get caught without any kind of bank reporting or KYC.

> Surely there must be data to back up this claim if it's so easily provable. How much stronger would the dollar be today? Source?

How would you even propose to measure this? If there was a source it would just be a paper someone published making the same case as the message board comment. To actually measure the effect you would need to get rid of the KYC laws and then measure the result, which hasn't happened, so the only thing you're going to get either way is reasoning for what would be expected to happen under the circumstances.

But how would you expect other countries to respond to the US leveraging the dollar in this way to infringe on their sovereignty and seize the assets of their citizens?

> Even a source for "countless small businesspeople being locked out of their bank accounts" would be interesting.

WhatsApp, Discord, and the Secret to Handling Concurrent Users
Another concern in many cases is the lack of reliability of overall power thanks to our provider.

Last year I bought a couple 'battery backups' because the day or two without power was causing spoilage/etc.

Not saying a NatGas furnace is easy to hook up in that case, but the overall 'usage' of a battery slew or generator is going to be far better if it's a winter outage.

Cause, let me tell you, DTE -sucks- and I know people who have gone up to a week without power with medical need for it in very populated areas. (oh bonus points there was a live wire at least once.)

-------

This truly is the biggest 'missing link' to adoption in my area. We all dealt with the Northeast blackout, we have the dumb stuff DTE does where even some gas stations have generators and walk state gouging lines, so until they can easily 'hook up a power source to their car to charge in an emergency' (i.e. to go up north to the cabin or on a mini-vacation till it all blows over) without it being a PITA and dependent on the state's power infrastructure working...

but I digress;

> Lastly (chicken-and-egg), the lack of a strong market meant that the available heat-pumps were niche products. There were fewer options, higher costs, and few installers who knew how to deploy them properly. There was also less clear reliability info for a consumer to decide whether it was a worthwhile choice, and FUD from early adopters who encountered those under-skilled installers.

Between the Influencer market, The 'SEO Optimized Marketing Video', and every other marketing technique, no player has found a way to just get some competent installer teams in a network? FFS based on my recent experience with furnace repair, it would be easy for them to try and vertical it.

As I mentioned in my original post there's a lot of parts of the US where people do even worse things than natural gas, due to the general lack of reliability of service lines, or abhorrent cost to install reliably. Those places still need heat when the power's cut in a nasty storm and they are days/weeks down on the roll.

-----

I wager the reliability of the US power network and maintenance SLAs thereof are the biggest hurdle to mass adoption of heat pumps vs natgas/etc.

At the same time I'll note that NatGas -heating- is, last I was aware, still more efficient than CGCC->Heat Pump in my area. Happy for alternative info as we may need to shop soon.

> 1. there are plenty of obese people in rural areas where they have all the walkable space they might desire

Rural areas are much less walkable since stuff are so far away, and thus are significantly fatter than walkable areas.

When it is easy to walk to places you need to go to people often walk, and such areas have much less obesity.
I think the opponent in the proposed use case for this tool is the gun you’re pointing at your foot, and this tool prevents you from pulling the trigger.
I still don't really get the overlapping tolerances, though, because each resistor is not a range, it's a single value that's somewhere in that tolerance.

He says about the cables:

> Each size of cable had a max/min rating that just overlapped it’s neighbor above and below, so every required value was covered by one or more cable.

So that means if you needed a "size 12" cable you could pick a size 10 OR a size 15, and they would both work.

But if you need a 12ohm resistor, it's possible that neither the 10 nor the 15 might work, because the 10 could be a 9 and the 15 could be a 17. So I don't really see how it connects.

To put it another way, what if we had 1000% error tolerances? Could we then get away with just a 1ohm. 1000ohm and 1Mohm resistors, because their tolerances overlap? Obviously not, so I don't see how it relates.

As an expert in this area, I can say that these comics highly resemble manhua for women. The story of the rich man 'buying' the plain but good looking girl is very popular in China. In fact in the title it says "Art: C.C. Chen" which is obviously a Chinese name. I have read a few dozen of these manhua. The general plotline is a rich and powerful man, the plain but good looking girl, and an assortment of competing mean girls who try to kill the feMC and abort her babies. I can tell this will be the general plotline just from the first few panels.

A note for this genre: there are only a handful of basic plotlines in this genre. It is more about the execution of the plotline than the uniqueness of the plot itslef. This is true of manhua in general: it is very formulaic but 1 out of each dozen or so will execute it well while the others will fail miserably. The three largest easily quantifiable factors in this formula are the speed that the story plays out, the way in which one character makes the other one fall for them (generally, the way in which the rich man makes the girl fall for him) and the likeability of the characters.
There are a lot of articles "debunking" it but I don't think that anyone who shared it would have thought that it was real - it was just used as a graphic, no different to if it was CGI or done as a poster. If anything, I would say that it looks more like CGI than a real picture.

And yet people will swear blind that Apple apps don't get special treatment. Whether things like this... or the earlier days of Safari where it had access to some APIs around power-saving...

Or the most nefarious, where Apple apps were able to bypass most of the TCP/IP stack tracking and send traffic directly, regardless of any on-device filtering or firewalling, like Little Snitch.

And then they claimed it was only "a temporary measure while they dealt with updating software", but they never did explain why an app like TextEdit would have ever needed a kernel network extension in the first place.

That to me was almost certainly a post-facto attempt at justification when they were caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

Heh, my college signals courses first taught continuous time systems then focused on discrete time in a follow-up course. They assumed you knew enough calculus at the start that Laplace transforms wouldn't be a huge hurdle, even if you hadn't seen them before. Discrete time / Z-transform was treated as more "advanced".

But I agree, I've done enough integrals for a lifetime!

Patients are often in a vulnerable position and we use laws to protect the vulnerable. Not only is the patient often impaired, but there is a massive information asymmetry naturally between an expert with years of post graduate education on a specific topic and a general member of the public. Many other fields that require similar amounts of training have strict codes of ethics regarding who they may take compensation from and how that is disclosed.

Each resistor in the design is a range. The designer picks the tolerance to use, some resistors will be fine with a 10% tolerance, others only with a 2% or 1% tolerance.

Also each resistor is a range, not a single value, since each resistor changes value with temperature & other environmental factors (though temperature is the biggest). That variation is (for normal resistors) less than the tolerance range.

I think I explained this poorly, and I appear to be mistaken about it being to save CPU cycles (though an entity such as AWS would absolutely be about saving minuscule CPU cycles that add up at scale).

I spent a lot of time researching this issue when I came across it years ago- I just remember that local file size and S3 file size was not matching up with anything and the takeaway was that S3 was calculating file size differently from Windows/Linux/macOS.

AWS uses base 2 (binary) for calculating file size, meaning 1MB is treated as 1,048,576 (2^20) bytes rather than 1,000,000 bytes (10^6).

And as you've said, one is MB while the other is technically MiB.

This is another example of how the FDA sucks: it sucks for terminal cancer patients like me (https://jakeseliger.com/2023/07/22/i-am-dying-of-squamous-ce...), who are denied potentially life-saving treatments due to the FDA's slowness and intransigence, and it sucks for the millions of mental health patients who are likely to be aided by psychedelic medicine. The FDA's paternalism is incredible. It's grossly inserting itself between clinicians and patients, and preventing the use of a drug that's been known for decades.

In "Is the FDA Too Conservative or Too Aggressive?: A Bayesian Decision Analysis of Clinical Trial Design," the authors find that:

Implicit in the drug-approval process is a host of decisions---target patient population, control group, primary endpoint, sample size, follow-up period, etc.---all of which determine the trade-off between Type I and Type II error. We explore the application of Bayesian decision analysis (BDA) to minimize the expected cost of drug approval, where the relative costs of the two types of errors are calibrated using U.S. Burden of Disease Study 2010 data. The results for conventional fixed-sample randomized clinical-trial designs suggest that for terminal illnesses with no existing therapies such as pancreatic cancer, the standard threshold of 2.5% is substantially more conservative than the BDA-optimal threshold of 23.9% to 27.8%. For relatively less deadly conditions such as prostate cancer, 2.5% is more risk-tolerant or aggressive than the BDA-optimal threshold of 1.2% to 1.5%. We compute BDA-optimal sizes for 25 of the most lethal diseases and show how a BDA-informed approval process can incorporate all stakeholders' views in a systematic, transparent, internally consistent, and repeatable manner.

PTSD is not generally fatal, apart from suicide risk, but denying treatment due to arbitrary hypothetical dreamed up by the committee members is a travesty.
