PayPal, for all its faults, is still a far more universal option, but that means very little if people keep making Stripe-only tools. It has become a habit of mine to immediately look for the FAQ to see if PayPal is supported.
Converting web pages to Markdown is a common requirement. I have found that turndown does a good job, but it cannot meet the needs of all dynamic web page content. As far as I know, if you need to process dynamic web pages, you need targeted adaptation, such as Google extensions such as Web2Markdown.
Usually, it's fair game to use all of the information presented in an exam-style question to derive your answer.

I don't use Facebook but for example KLM/AF at least 5-6 years ago pushed hard "means of contact" as "talk to us at whatsapp/facebook". And they weren't the only one. And the track of thinking was probably "If everyone/millions use it then let's move away from this old pesky email"...

There are groups/communities (real ones, for example building or school) that settled on WA/FB group so while you are not necessarily forced to if you don't there is a high chance that you will miss some crucial info…

because “income” means 3 different things to the IRS

there are income taxes

and then there are taxes on income, where income in this context is a category of earning types, which has subcategories passive income and earned income. but not to be confused with capital gains tax, which is under the umbrella of income taxes, after capital gains taxes have been computed.

it is very easy to reduce income taxes (are you still following) despite high passive or earned income. so yeah they should probably look into them

I’ve had 7 figures of earned income but had negative adjusted gross income, the President even sent me a stimulus check because my reported income was so low. I just blamed the White House and Congress for not differentiating and moved on.

That is what we need. That is not something «most consumers are not about to start»: it should be a drive to have a few serving the rest.

An easier and (on an important side, fail-safe resilience aside) better solution would be a society that would not have let the situation happen in the first place.
Look up the Dutch tax return scandal where the Dutch tax arm of the government (‘IRS’) used machine learning to identify fraud but it turned out to be very racially biased and it uprooted thousands of families with years of financial struggles and legal battles.

While you are correct, you are also not reading it correctly.

(d) refers to "obscene or child pornography".

While some pornography is obscene under US law, in general pornography is "indecent", not obscene.

See Sable Communications of California v. FCC, from when the US tried to regulate dial-a-porn, and the courts decided the original law was overly broad.

Only (b) refers to "indecent communication" (and only in the context of "commercial purposes"), and it specifically requires a telephone.

If I understand the history, that was from the 1989 amendment to the Communications Act of 1934, known as the Helms Amendment, and the courts decided that was sufficiently narrowly tailored to not affect 1st amendment rights (see the court judgement in Dial Information Services v. Thornburgh).

It appears, based on my shallow understanding of the history, that I can set up an automated recording such that if you call it, it plays back a recorded sex chat which is indecent but not obscene. And I can do that without requiring age identification from those who call.

I might have to inform the telephone company that I have done so, so they can let people who opt-out of being able to connect to such numbers from doing so, but otherwise it's my first amendment right.

Which circles us back to yet another analogy which seems more appropriate than your focus on the sale of pornography in physical stores.
I found the "Deep learning interviews" book to be much more engaging and value for time.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.00650

I did a cursory browse through on few sections of this current book (namely the CV module), and I think the questions are on the easier end for actual ML interviews/whiteboarding. Normally, I would face some more depth (and equivalently as a tech lead, similarly ask more than surface-level questions to potential hires).

tldr: If you have gone through an introductory ML course like Andrew Ng's CS229 or CS230, these question banks seem obvious & trivial to solve.
At the turn of the 20th, eg 1900s, most tax was paid by corporations and resouce taxation. At least it was in Canada. An example, a "temporary" personal income tax started in 1917 to fund WWI in Canada. Corporations were hit too, but my point is that tax revenue came from elsewhere. Resources.

Over the last 100+ years, slowly, primary taxation has shifted from corporations and resources to individuals. One can see why this makes sense, as policy with respect to trade has shifted as well. We've become more global, as eluded to, and the least up to this century the goal has been on "reducing trade barriers". So tax has shifted to "consumption tax" (gas tax, sales tax, sin tax), and personal income tax, as it is harder for people to be in multiple tax jurisdictions.

At least, this is how I see it. Your citizens live here, own property (your municipality gets income), have to eat/do things locally (consumption tax), and can't claim they live elsewhere easily, for the "average Joe" is just going to have a simple tax structure, and it's known where he hangs his hat.

Actually I'm not against the suburbs, I simply agree with the article (just a bit) that the classic suburb model have issues because you can't buy anything nearby and so you need long trips just to buy some milk, that's is. I'm definitively against the city model, because IMVHO there is no way to turn a city into a "better city"m a city is just "a tool" you can use and than dispose and rebuild another, witch is practically next to impossible and so costly that we can't do on scale.

BTW if peoples living in the suburbs like them there is no issues at all, I do not denigrate anyone of them. IF some would like to live still in single family homes BUT also with some shops around without being in the city than the solution it's easy in nature or adapting a suburb, that's because suburbs and empty space could be changed a small step at a time, while cities can't.

That's is. I'm definitively not pro-urban as the article author.
I think the author misdiagnoses the problem, and the proposed solution simply hides the centralization instead of removing it.

The reason AWS is expensive is not because of IPv4, or the datacenters. It's mostly in their software/managed offerings, and the ability to quickly add more servers. If you are a "serious company" and you don't want to pay AWS or a similar company, renting a rack and colocating your own servers (either within your premises or in a datacenter) is doable and done by lots of companies.

I disagree that certificates have caused centralization, and they're not something separating the haves and have-nots and are in no way comparable to having or not a mainframe. HTTPS becoming pseudo-mandatory didn't push people into having their own (sub)domains, which is nowadays the only requirement to obtain a certificate. It already happened out of convenience.

The other point of centralization mentioned is DNS, which tailscale doesn't avoid at all. MagicDNS still relies on the ICANN root, as does the tailscale control plane. And if all you wanted was a free subdomain, there are plenty of people offering that.

If you are behind CGNAT, tailnets aren't particularly less centralized, as traffic has to flow through the DERP servers. I doubt tailscale can keep providing these free of charge when the volume is in the tbps instead of the gbps.

I agree that tailscale (and similar solutions) help in the last remaining case, which is accessing your computer that is behind a NAT. I even think they could reach the dozens of millions of users. This is, in my opinion, not enough to claim the title of "the new internet".
Is there any data to support this approach?
"So they don't damage users' speakers, their hearing, or generally cause annoyance."

Damage speakers? Simply, not an issue unless they're one step removed from rubbish. Also, have you ever heard of output compression and clipping that would protect them? That approach is 101 electronics.

Hearing is not an issue as they're driven by flea power (they're not headphones). Even hearing these pissy little speakers when running flat out is difficult enough. And my hearing is fine.

And where are the regulations that specify a maximum sound level rating for laptops?

By comparison, my 4.5 x 2.5" palm-size Sony transistor radio type ICF-510MK2 (which I'm currently holding in my hand) not only has stacks and stacks of gain on very low level audio (I've never needed to turn the volume up past halfway), and it simply blows my expensive Lenovo laptop away when it comes to maximum output level (I've no trouble hearing it several rooms away). There are no regulations covering how loud it sounds. OK, I've now given everyone a reference device for comparison. I'd put it up against any laptop I've heard in recent times and it'd win hands down every time. BTW, I only paid $9 for it but that was a few years back.

You're right about the bits, it was a throwaway figurative comment to make a point.

I cannot understand why so many people come to the defence of poor ratshit design. My expensive Lenovo laptop, like my Dell laptop, are not fit for purpose when it comes to the audio subsystem. If I can't hear it on a nominal range of audio signals such as those mentioned from Google then, by definition, they're not fit for purpose.

The same nonsense has been wheeled out in recent days in defense of Microsoft's BSOD/crash. As I said on another post that Dark Ages Windows OS ought to be ditched or rewritten (once running, BSODs should never occur unless there's a hardware fault no matter what's loaded into the kernel). If it goes belly-up then it's bad design, QED.

Why defend the indefeasible? That people do and don't complain is why our lives are surrounded by so much shitty partially-functioning tech.
I'm honestly confused here, if anything, aren't your quotes literally confirming my point?

It's triggering an automation which fetches data. This is a crawl, even if the crawl has a very limited scope (it's also not limited to a single request, that's just the scope that's used by default.
But even if it was programmatically limited to only ever request a single resource, that'd still be a crawl, while recursion is the norm too build indexes, it's not necessary for all usecases that utilize crawlers.

Did you ever actually make anything that's utilizing them to gather information that you want? You might be surprised to know that adhoc triggering a singular resource fetch is actually pretty common to keep data up-to-date.

> If I issue a curl request from a server that I'm renting, is that a robot request? What about if I'm using Firefox on a remote desktop? What about if I self-host a client like Perplexity on a local server?

Interesting take. Though the thing is - the balance of power in this public, shared space is highly tilted (I have loads of money and therefore can dump crap everywhere). As seen everywhere people _DO_ prefer clean public space without noise and ads but pushing such laws is difficult... because of lobbyist with track loads of cash…

Actually most families with a decent income can afford that "television-depicted" house in most of the country. It's only in a handful of high-cost metro areas where that has become unrealistic. Spend some time driving around the Midwest and you'll see that reality.

I wonder how old they were, they are quite good!

I've often wondered if people back then were more skilled at music and art overall since there were fewer mindless leisure activities.

But, at the same time, I'm sure a guitar or ink and paper were comparatively expensive, so who knows.

Plus people could drink at 10 back then, so I'm sure they found plenty of mindless distraction.

All my sibling comments have lots of good info.

Clean anything before you scan, as best you can, while being careful. I used to do this professionally many years ago, but I don't remember the products. I had a bunch of different cleaning sprays, brushes and cloths. Different sprays melt different emulsions on photos and negatives, so always test in unimportant area before use.

I would also say to keep the unprocessed original scans, before any dust/scratch removal, color correction etc, since post-processing techniques are in a rapid state of flux lately.

I was lucky enough to use one of these $25K beasts:

https://www.filmscanner.info/en/HasselbladFlextightX5.html

The problem was the algorithms for removing dust and scratches in bulk. Look up what the latest tech is there. Always color correct old photos and negatives. They will have faded in some way. Use white point and black point tools to hint the software and you'll get 95% of the way there if you can find bright white and very dark spots in a photo. If you are properly serious, then make sure to use hardware to color calibrate your scanning tool and your editing monitor. Use something like an IT8 target:

Extra territoriality is well established in international law - if you provide services to, or extract data from the EU, you are subject to EU laws. US tech will simply have to comply or withdraw services.
So many reasons -

1. Financialization of the Economy - finance dominates all other sectors of the economy - people who already have cash make better returns via the stock market, real estate, insurance, lending it out etc. So Old rich people don't have to use their brains much to make cash.

2. All sectors are already monopolized by them. Even Amazon hasn't brought down Walmart which for 25 years everyone was claiming was about to happen. And you won't see Apple taking on Wall St or Google taking out AT&T or Spacex taking out Boeing or any new power ever making a pass at Exxon, Big Pharma or the MIL complex. Why new powers find it so hard?

3. Then there is the great US Dollar. IMF and World bank dont hand over "development" loans to the poors of the world in their local currency but in Dollars. Where are those people going to get dollars from? They either have to sell off their assets to the old monopolies above or forced to buy stuff from the old monopolies above. Keeps them fully dependent. It all ensures old power stays in power without having to compete on merit with new powers.

4. Then there is signalling or mass media messaging 24x7. Tell the world great stories about merit and the market and the elections, and behind the scenes rig the shit out of everything to hold on to your chair. All ambitious people do this young and old and in every country because its in their nature. But the oldies have been playing the game much longer. And their stories and tactics are much richer and deep. See Theory of the Leisure Class. Most of the younger people who are better than them, will constantly be seen PUBLICLY bowing and bending and thanking them for their existence. That doesn't happen by accident.

Thankfully old people die.
