I'm sure there will be fraud, but does that matter?

So what if a small percent of old people (that presumably need the money so bad they they are willing to commit fraud)? Better that than gma stealing from local businesses.

The fraud should be a relatively small percent, as gparents should at least prove they have grandkids.

I make no value judgment on this policy, I’m just pointing out that systems have a natural outcome based on the incentive structure. Or, as Charlie Munger put it much more eloquently: “Show me the incentives and I will show you the outcome.”

I wish more people, including voters but especially lawmakers, would use this analysis technique more often as it would lead to laws that actually accomplish what they claim.
i love it. i know many grandparents who do at least 1 day of babysitting, and of course they love it and would never take money from their kids. in saying that, it's tiring work, especially depending on their age/mobility/condition. if this is what gets an extra parent working a couple more days, i love the idea of keeping the money in the family.

> Does the AG need Congressional approval every time he hires a secretary?

There is a legal distinction between an “officer of the United States” and an “employee of the United States”. An officer has the power to make significant legally binding decisions in the name of the United States government. A secretary is an employee: nobody is arguing the Attorney-General needs specific authorisation from Congress to hire a secretary (assuming their salary fits within the appropriated personnel budget, etc). But a special counsel is clearly not a mere employee, a special counsel is an officer - deciding to initiate and advance a federal criminal prosecution is a significant legal decision. Hence, the argument is that the special counsel, as an officer, needs to be authorised by Congress, either by statute, or as a Senate-confirmed appointment. Whether or not that argument is correct, the example you raise of hiring a secretary is irrelevant to it.

Alright so get this, some of the grandparents will be less encumbered by the frailties of advanced age, some more, but on average there will be enough childcare capacity to cover all of our forecasts. We can pool the grandparents into some kind of instrument, and if we pay a bunch of guys wearing Charvet ties in the City to price the risk correctly, we can sell a Babysitting Bond with a very compelling yield by securitizing this with favorable tax treatment…
These kind of incentives have definitely helped countering the declining birthrates in Denmark and Sweden.

I wonder why people like Elon Musk and JD Vance often bring up Orban's Hungary and Putin's Russia as examples of countries that are successfully increasing birthrates when Denmark, Sweden, and Czechia have higher (native born) birthrates than both Hungary and Russia.
I'm wondering if there's some doppler-shift assessment possible to detect (and possibly reject) spoofing/jamming? A fixed ground-based spoofer/jammer will be too consistent in its doppler-shift, unless it varies its frequency slightly, but that would only work well against specific targets, not broad areas.

> Radio waves experience Doppler shifts the same as sound waves do as objects move. The Doppler shifts for the real satellites will all be different as the object moves either towards or away from them depending on their position in the sky. However, the Doppler shift caused by the object’s motion due to a spoofer is the same for all the satellites signals because they are all arriving from the same direction. This uniformity of Doppler is another indication of spoofing. Again, only the most sophisticated spoofer can account for an object’s motion to adjust its Doppler shift for each individual satellite, and to do so requires tracking the object’s course.

Would it be better to have an op-out database, where you have to log in with a Google account, and prove that you own the device somehow using geolocation?

The system has to be resistant against bad actors taking someone else off the map who chooses to opt in.

It would be better if the syntax were simpler, like changing myhouse to __myhouse (double underscore == private identifier).

By setting SSID a certain way, you simultaneously show your intent to opt out and prove that you're the operator.

Is some of that just that people tend to refer to grandparents as "grandma" and "grandpa" and not their first names? And maiden names of grandmothers have long fallen into disuse by the time their grandchildren are born, if they didn't keep them?

I think I didn't really know my maternal grandparents' names until they died and I looked at a family tree. My paternal grandfather's name isn't even well-defined: it's been butchered after 4 civil wars & invasions, 2 emigrations, different dialects, repeated anglicizations, and a change in the orthography of his native language.
That could easily be a Mitch McConnell problem though. The president's job in that case is to make an appointment, Congress's job is to review and approve those in a timely manner. People may not like who Trump appointed, I don't personally know enough about them beyond news articles to have a strong opinion, but Mitch is the one who held up the appointment for nearly a year if I remember right.

> "Under Biden" is completely disingenuous, the cases were not brought by the Biden administration, and were ruled on largely by Trump and Bush appointees.

I don't think it's any less disingenuous than blaming it on whomever appointed the judges. Blame the judges if you want, but now you want to pull in Bush as though he would have known so long ago thdt Roe would finally get challenged and that Congress would continue to sit on its hands rather than codify Roe into law?

The White House is often quick to take credit for anything they like that comes out of the supreme court on their watch. Shouldn't they then also get blamed for what they don't like that happens under their watch? Or do they get the good without the bad?

Everyone is different- I absolutely love helping people. I could spend all day helping teammates and feel super energized by the end of the day.

Having said that, this advice is actually a bit problematic for me. I am over eager to help my teammates as well as those on other teams. I make a lot of connections that way, but the connections are almost always peer or lower on the ladder. They aren’t the connections that help as spoken of in other areas of this article. Also, with the time I’ve spent helping others, it’s less time I’m delivering something of value. I enjoy helping others, so I do it, but I try to keep it in moderation and keep in mind my priorities.
There's no need to push grievances over the "decline of marriage" when the reason that people in the US can't name all four grandparents is because they've spent their whole lives knowing them as "grandma" and "grandpa", and additionally because it's quite likely that at least one of their grandparents will have died before they've gotten old enough to form memories.
I never used their name when they were alive, they were morfar to me. I can pretty quickly find their name in Google but it doesn't stick in my brain.
A scale's cheap and if it's in a situation where accuracy matters, I use it if the measurements are given or consult a standard conversion.

Thank you for this AI slop. It's the right answer but incoherent reasoning. It could have equally reasonably said:

"The one that doesn't fit in is Socrates.

Richard Feynman and Bill Gates are primarily known for their contributions to science and philanthropy, respectively. Feynman was a renowned theoretical physicist, and Gates is a world-famous philanthropist.

Socrates, on the other hand, is primarily known for foundational contributions to philosophy. His primary domain is thus distinct from the scientific and philanthropic realms of Feynman and Gates."

This is not true. Cancer is wide, it's not "one thing" but lets talk real world.

Ozempic will cure millions of cancer if it works, which so far it seems to.

If we do as the article warns, be losers and pretend 'cancer' is a mysterious Satan and accept it's fate then we won't.
> It's not opt-in for the owner of the network, who should really have a say in the matter.

Why? It’s literally just a shortcut for asking for the password from someone who already has it and then having it read it out loud or texted. If the owner of the network doesn’t want that happening they need to explain that in either case.
> There's a reason Thomas's concurrence is separate from the majority opinion; even the other five conservative justices didn't support the theory.

You wrongly assume the only reason they didn’t concur with Thomas’ arguments is because they think they are incorrect. There is another possible explanation: whatever they may think of Thomas’ arguments, they may have thought it better to leave discussion of that issue out of the majority opinion, given it wasn’t part of the questions presented for them to decide in the immediate case, and it wasn’t fully ventilated in the briefs and arguments and the record below. It isn’t impossible, despite not joining him in his concurrence, some or all of them might end up agreeing with him if they were presented with a case directly on that topic (which may indeed now happen)

The shape is about right for the variance of the M/M/1 queue (what is an M/M/1/∞ queue??), but it's a little disingenuous since variance is a higher-order moment. Standard deviation is probably more sensible to think about here, since that brings it back down to the same scale as the queue length.

> Thus the average number of customers in the system is ρ/(1 − ρ) and the variance of number of customers in the system is ρ/(1 − ρ)². This result holds for any work conserving service regime, such as processor sharing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M/M/1_queue#Average_number_of_...

In the cited example, going from 75% utilization -> 95% utilization drags your standard deviation from a modest 3.5 items in the queue all the way up to 19.5 items. And, in both cases, that's not far off from your average queue length, either.

When I typed my phone number in the box on "Musk" "investment" website my landline rang instantly after entering the last digit. It was definitely an onkeydown event.

A friendly fast talking man in an extremely busy sounding (fake) call center asked me if I was $name_I_put_in_the_form. The voices in the background were people further down the sign up process.

I said yes, then asked how he got my number. He said I just filled out the form on the website. Then the form was replaced by a new page.

They did a good job confusing me, it was very impressive. I don't confuse easily.
Since we're all just speculating to the wind here, I can see multiple ways LLMs can be used. Maybe it'll help simplify TA triage, maybe it'll just be a Discord bot. Maybe a classifier will sample from multiple models.

It's a bit in line with what we've been through...
My kids come from 2 lines of unbroken homes and intact marriages. I moved to SV for a career, so my parents have seen their grandkids 3 times in 3 years. My kids spend the first week they are around avoiding them because they don’t know them, start to build up a relationship right about the time they are back on a plane.

My other grand parents come once a week to hang out with the kids, nanny is off that day. I beg them to take the kids to the zoo, the playground, the library, jumping jacks, a hike, a walk with the dogs. I am constantly disappointed by a grandpa on his phone and a grandma that can’t do all that herself, and I’m stuck working so I can’t do it.

I think “the decline of marriage” or “broken homes” is a symptom. If you’re an American who frequents this board, you’re in some of the roughest late stage capitalism effects on your personal relationships and community relationships that could exist until we see the Wall-e universe.

Not having a multi-generational family to help raise the kids in your neighborhood to help ameliorate the cost and stress of raising kids puts a huge strain on a marriage. Having to work 60-70 hours a week to make life possible to have those kids, with daycare and preschool and all the other costs… it’s a self fulfilling cycle.

The 60s youth barely had 1 parent at home, my generation had none, if the parents weren’t even home why should the grand parents feel any responsibility to help right?

Anyway, something to think about when you’re just blaming “decline” (it’s actually gotten better) of marriage. Some stats:

Currently, the divorce rate per 1000 married women is 16.9.

The divorce rate per 1000 married women is nearly double that of 1960, but down from the all-time high of 22.6 in the early 1980s.

The divorce rate for couples with children is as much as 40 percent lower than for those without children.

An annual income of over $50,000 can decrease the risk of divorce by as much as 30% versus those with an income of under $25k.

I think in my own head I categorize both the Zelda games and GTA as "adventure games", while Oblivion and Skyrim fit as "RPG" despite the basic playstyle being similar to the GTA series. I think it's something about the extensive character customization/progression making the division for me.
Yeah tough decision for me. My rent is $4500. Equivalent townhouse is now being advertised at $5300. I can easily see this go up to 6000-7000 in 3-4 years. If I lock in a condo at the same price ($6000-$7000) right now, provided no housing or economic crash, I'll be in a much better position down the line.

Many of my daughter’s (pre-teen) friends are raised entirely by their (GenX or Boomer) grandparents: their parents are either not in their lives at all, or are total neglectful deadbeats, or divorced/fighting to the point where the grandparents had to step in. For quite a few of them, grandparents are the only family they know.
Apple Maps has crowdsourcing features
Do you have any evidence at all for this claim?

Only anecdotal evidence. I’ve taught beginning algebra courses at a community college for 23 years. Students who don’t know fractions have a very hard time in algebra. Those who can’t understand that x + 5/3 x is 8/3 x have a hard time understanding that 2xy+ay is (2x + a)y.

Understanding rational functions helps to understand what vertical asymptotes are and as such are a fundamental source of examples when learning limits. They also aid in understanding why tan(x) has vertical asymptotes where cos is 0. Every complete algebra curriculum includes rational functions. I say complete because algebra is usually broken up into 3 courses (2 at the pre-college level).

Nobody is paying for trail apps just to see the trails. That’s not a paid feature, and the data is just scraped from OSM anyways - it doesn’t have value.

People are paying for access to the social data layer on top of that - the reviews, the ride logs, the recommended routes, the reports of trail conditions and closures. And apple can’t just take that, because that’s the data that takes years to build up.
Now add things like Diablo 2 or Elden Ring to the mix, both of which are officially categorized as action rpgs. But they are a completely different experience and genre.

Some people don't like the term, but at least with JRPGs you know pretty much exactly what they are. Any other RPG term is completely meaningless because it's way too broad.

Interesting. I would have never thought that trail making apps would be the lion's share of revenue of this group.

For password managers, however, I'm a big believer that those shouldn't be a required 3rd party purchase. Effective password management should be a built-in feature of every OS. (And for the love of God, every browser should use core OS password management so you can switch browsers and still easily log in to websites.)

I’ve always felt that writing apps for Apple devices is more like creating phone accessories than building products.

Apple cares about selling iPhones and other devices. If your idea can help them sell more, and they can do it better, they will.

I think that’s perfectly natural and OK - and what’s more, I think it’s on the app developers to understand this and to plan for it.

> "Indeed, the irony today is that the Russians, the French and other people in foreign countries possess Shakespeare to a much greater extent than we do, for the simple reason that unlike us, they get to enjoy Shakespeare in the language they speak."

This reminds me of a popular anecdote in philosophy, that German students grapping with Kant's Critique of Pure Reason often prefer Norman Kemp Smith's English translation over trying to deciper Kant's 18th-century German :)

That said, I'd argue that literary work (especially literary work with such linguistic significance) should be handled differently than theoretical/expository work. What modern students really need are not so much translations [1] as meticulously annotated editions where the annotations are (so to speak) written by linguists rather than literature professors (i.e. the focus should be on bridging the language gap & providing linguistic context, not on literary interpretation or tediously over-analyzing literary symbolism)
