There is an asymmetry in your reasoning that I don't doubt is in many court decisions due to sovereign immunity, but need not be universal. If the law is declared unconstitutional, then that law was unconstitutional the whole time. Therefore there was no legal basis for the people-who-happened-to-be-employed-by-the-government to do what they did. And I'm pretty sure the laws against false imprisonment and extortion weren't passed yesterday.
Sure but I learned that hard way when I got the sealed probable cause statement of my warrant, the detective claimed an unnamed officer claimed an unnamed dog alerted and that set off that intermediate standard.

So in practice there is nothing needed. Because it is impossible to challenge 3rd order interspecies anonymous hearsay.
This has been discussed extensively in the meteorological community for years. Quick background: I thought I would be a meteorologist. Although my career aspiration faded, my geekiness about the weather continued.

The Gulf Stream collapsing would have monumental effects on Europe and the East Coast of the US. Hurricanes and Winter Storms would be even more wildly unpredictable. Here's the problem for me...

I've never truly believed in global warming.

Are we truly arrogant enough as humans to think we can alter the climate and patterns of the planet with gases, etc.? Of course, we are. There are 8 billion or so of us and hundreds of thousands of factories, etc., but that still takes up an insignificant amount of the planet as a whole.

I believe that large cities in the US and worldwide have warmed for one very particular reason: asphalt. Think of all the asphalt in our major cities. They call it an urban heat island, and it can make a city 2C or 5F or more warmer than a suburb with less asphalt and more greenery like trees and bushes.

Concerning Greenland glaciers melting and places like Alaska warming at alarming rates, I firmly believe climate change happens constantly - warmer and colder. We are in a small snapshot of time with our weather record keeping (140 years or so of reliable records), and tree rings can only tell us so much.

The earth's climate will continue to behave as it does regardless of the 1996 Paris agreement. But, we should always strive to clean up the air and emit less carbon to help. The only good thing that the pandemic did was shut down most factories and clean the air in a way it had not been since the dawn of the industrial revolution.

Again, these are my opinions just based on life experience.
I've never had that when using Gentoo but I started in 2016 or so. The IRC was helpful in getting me started and I learned a lot in menuconfig.
Section 179 provides a sizable exemption. Roughly $1 million/yr (1.223 in 2023 apparently)
[https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/179].

Section 174 was updated this way yes - which is why we’re talking about it yes?

Previously it was classifiable as an R&D expense, and could be written off the same year it was taken. Which is much friendlier, cashflow wise.

Anyone manually depreciating computers over 3 years either already has a lot of capital expenses (> 1 million/yr), or should probably get a better accountant.

There are situations it needs to be more complicated - but for the vast majority of the situations anyone reading this is going to be in, it isn’t. And if they are in that situation, they should hire a professional to help them untangle it.

> the legal owner has to pay property taxes so why can’t they track it that way

...the legal owner would pay the property tax. The beneficial owner/controller would reimburse them.

> In the absence of rent control i can see landlords just forwarding the cost of taxes, but that’s where I’m a huge proponent of it. Discourage investing in homes unless you really have the capital

This reminds me of the effect of squatters' rights on rents. It discourages property owners becoming landlords.

You're increasing the cost of owning rental property while lowering its yield. What do you think will happen? Why not offer a tax deduction for landlords voluntarily submitting their properties to rent control, similar to conservation easements?
Not to get TOO far off topic, but you just reminded me of the 300+ line batch file I was using for my BBS back in the early 90s. Lots of errorlevel checks to handle door transitions, Fidonet, etc.

Sure, you're talking about legally what is, due to the concepts of sovereign immunity and more specifically qualified immunity. My point is that the concept of sovereign immunity itself needs to be drastically curtailed (to the point that qualified immunity would be moot).

I could be persuaded if the corn was grown using energy that was free or at least not portable, but given the corn is grown literally using petroleum though (fertilizers, fuel for machinery), can we just skip the pork for Iowa voters and just burn the petroleum as the fuel?

> textualist interpretation of the constitution would likely take a very dim view of the federal government trying to stretch its powers and get around the Fourth Amendment

Scalia was textualist. "Justices Antonin Scalia, Amy Coney Barrett, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch describe themselves as originalists in scholarly writings and public speeches" [1]. (In several cases, e.g. the application of Sarbanes-Oxley to the January 6th cases, they dismissed a textualist interpretation.)

Textualism would have trouble with this case because phones aren't mentioned in the Constitution. Originalism does better, which explains Riley.

Source? If so, that's a privacy boon for CarPlay and Android Auto.
Because most code is not running anywhere near saturation of the available resources, and the problem is only getting worse as cores get wider. I mean, look at the Zen5 block diagram - there are 6 ALUs and 4 AGUs on the integer side alone! That's almost two entire Zen1 cores worth of execution resources, which is pretty amazing. Very, very little real world code is going to be able to get anywhere near saturating that every cycle. SMT helps improve the utilization of the execution resources that have already been paid for in the core.

I'll give another example from my own experience. I write a lot of code in the computer graphics domain. Some of the more numeric-oriented routines are able to saturate the execution resources, and get approximately 0% speedup from SMT.

Importantly though, there are other routines that make heavy use of lookup tables. Even though the tables reside completely within L1 cache, there are some really long dependency chains where the 3/4 cycle wait for L1 chains and causes some really low utilization of ALUs. Or at least, that's my theory. :) Regardless in that code running SMT provides about a 30% speedup "for free" which is quite impressive.

I was uncertain of if SMT had a future for a while, but I think for x86 in general it provides some pretty significant gains, for a design complexity that has already been 'paid' for.

My perspective as an ex-Google SWE:

It is someone's quarterly performance review and OKR to improve SLO. One such SLO is average load time. If you set such metrics as a goal, and financially reward people to do it, it's easy to meet the goal: arbitrary prune out the long tail, especially if the distribution of saved locations per user follows an Pareto/power law distribution.

They've since rolled back that experiment of payload sized limit, and instead used this number based limit. I guess it makes more a cleaner explainaton and internal documentation from a product sense this way as opposed to an arbitrary engineering limit.

The issue is still apathy and laziness from the engineers... they can have this per-request limits, but cache previously loaded pinnned locations, then incrementally append more to the list on subsequent requests. Instead, they attempt to reload the source of truth from the server everytime. There is a specific behavior where I see this is the case: they will load 3,000, you add another location which is now 3,001 locally, but after a few minutes they reconcile with the server and your local machine is back to 3,000. This is especially ironically considering the Google interview's emphasis on Dynamic Programming and building up a larger solution from previous solutions...

On Desktop, you can still load all your locations. There is some weird and intuitive behavior here how they reconcile edits to existing pin. The caveat on Desktop is that they will entire to render entire regions when there is too much (somewhere in the vicinity above 3,000 but below 8,000). I've noticed in recent weeks they've rolled out a quadtree
implementation where in a given rectangular region, they'd limit and cap how much saved locations they attempt to render, versus before where it would be seemingly depth-first until they reach the 3,000 limit.

I'm posting this not because I disagree with you, but rather to just clarify one point you made;

>> Employers who make candidates jump through unnecessary hoops will filter out some of the unqualified people, sure, but they'll also filter out people who are qualified but have no interest in playing stupid games with their time.

It's worth noting that from an employer perspective missing some qualified people is not a problem (because they'll usually have plenty of qualified people applying for the post.) Whereas hiring an unqualified person is disastrous.

In other words given the choice of "reducing to a subset of all good" or "reducing to all good plus possibly a few bad" the goal is the former.

This can be galling if you are an "excluded good one", but its worth understanding this because being filtered out doesn't mean you're bad. (It might mean that, but not necessarily so.)

As to your main point, being compatible with your employer in terms of style (the interview works both ways) is important. Generally speaking the hiring process is often unrelated to the work process (for both sides of the table) so some discernment is necessary but I'm a big believer in "when someone shows you who there are, believe them".

I think a happier medium/compromise might be to have a way to parse command-line parameters for any tool you want to run, and let the GUI show explicit options you can turn on for any program. To me, having to know the parameters ahead of time is not far enough removed from the command-line experience to make a usable GUI.
You should have said "due to his alleged bad behavior".

The allegations have been made after his death, when he could not defend himself and even those allegations do not contain the slightest evidence of "bad behavior" of Minsky, but only of Epstein:

"Virginia Giuffre testified in a 2015 deposition in her defamation lawsuit against Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell that Maxwell "directed" her to have sex with Minsky among others. There has been no allegation that sex between them took place nor a lawsuit against Minsky's estate. Minsky's widow, Gloria Rudisch, says that he could not have had sex with any of the women at Epstein's residences, as they were always together during all of the visits to Epstein's residences."

I have no idea which is the truth about Minsky, but I find it disgusting that when R. M. Stallman has published a correctly argumented defense for his dead friend, there have been great attempts to cancel him, even if there were no grounds to criticize this action. Sadly, there is no difference between the American "cancel culture" and the hunt for the "enemies of the working people" that happened in the universities of the countries from Eastern Europe after those countries became controlled by the Russians after WWII. Also there, it was typical that some unproved allegations of even minor "bad behavior" would result in the accused losing their academic jobs and being permitted for the rest of their lives to do only some menial work, for their "reeducation". When any friend had attempted to defend them against the false accusations, they would have had the same fate, exactly like in the case of Stallman.
This was definitely expected. The argument that the voters couldn't enact legislation that the lawmakers can was a very strange argument.
This is fantastic. It gave me an idea about colors, perception, and gamut.

Put simply, imagine that there is a combination of wavelengths of light that causes you to perceive the smell of ripe cheese, and another that causes you to think that there is a bear behind you. Now your diagrams must be filled in not only with colored pixels but also include a small picture of a cheese and a bear at the points where those specific perceptions occur.

I think, in real life, this is what magenta is: a non spectral color that’s more of a feeling or sensation that, in order for our brains to not get too overwhelmed, we simply perceive as another color. This is also, I believe, close to describing a real phenomenon for those living with varying degress of synesthesia or, if you will forgive a play on words, those on the synesthesia spectrum.

> ROI is a standard metric for measuring MTT success. Pros are typically positive, recs are typically negative.
> Flipping the metric to EV after buy in strikes me as a straw man, but I will roll with it…

That, as you said, makes it trivially true that the pros are infinitely better than the recs. By that metric it doesn't even make sense to have the conversation. The original comment I responded to was: "their chance of winning is 1/10 instead of 1/1000". My thought experiment, far from being a straw man, simply extends that idea from "winning" to "amount made in cashes."

> I am fairly certain that I would take action on the results of a basket of 100 mtt pros being 100x greater than the results of a basket of 100 mtt recs in the wsop ME.

Very unlikely. To give a sense, based on payout structure this year if even a single rec makes the final table (at least one did) that alone puts the number to beat at a minimum of 100M (9th place prize = 1M)... and first is 10M.

> but that variance can be mitigated quite a bit via skill except in “short stack” MTTs that devolve into shovefests relatively early.

No, even deep stack tourneys are still really, really short compared with anything like a "long run" sample. Jonathan Little, the pro who own https://pokercoaching.com/ and has millions in tournament earnings, once went 50 tournaments without even cashing, let alone winning. Daniel Negreanu, arguably one of the best tournament players of all time, recently had a 2 million dollar losing year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu-QqzikpWU.

> I will be happy to negotiate terms and have a mutually agreed upon escrow-holder for a bet next year.

I will absolutely take that bet, but you'd need to define some way to select what counts as the pool of pros and the pool of recs. Alternatively -- this wouldn't be a bet but a way to test the theory -- look at the list of everyone who cashed this year and cross reference it with Hendon Mob db or something similar... and define a pro as someone who's had lifetime winners of 300K+ or something. You'd need to control for the number of pros among the entrants as well, but if you're right you'd see the pros represented at 100x their entry proportion in their cashes proportion (that's very rough and doesn't account for size of cash, but it should be an easy enough experiment to do if you want to see that I am correct).
What about automated predictive modeling pipelines? In other words, I want the best possible point estimates only on future data. I’d think, regardless of the model selection process, I want to reestimate the parameters on the entire dataset before I deploy it, so as not to “waste” data? I.e. I want to use the hold out test data in the final model. Is this valid?
