There's a ton of money in it. The arbitrage is that one farmer can produce hundreds of pounds of product but cannot possibly warehouse and sell it all themselves. The resulting wholesale prices make setting up a shop that charges retail prices an incredibly reliable way to make money.

There is no mechanism, as there is in food, to support farmers or to control consumer prices. There is also no government funded free marijuana program. It seems like it would have analogs, but marijuana is truly a unique market.
I don't have code running on them, but I do have hardware designs aboard Pioneer 10 & 11. These were the first rocks we humans tossed high & fast enough from the Sun that they're never coming back. I'm a little proud of that.

Anybody with code circling Jupiter definitely has bragging rights and should be proud. If it were a just world, he/she wouldn't have to pay for a drink in a bar, ever.
> New Horizons ... still holds the record for the fastest thing ever launched from Earth.

To expand on this a bit, it's the fastest launch. The unqualified speed record goes to the Parker Solar Probe in 2018, and was previous held by Helios B way back in 1976.

The distinction here is that New Horizons has spent it's life traveling away from the Sun, and it costs energy and thus speed to do so. Meanwhile, solar probes gain speed during their fall towards the Sun.

My success rate was around 2/3. That after I finished they returned to excel is your unfounded assumption (also demonstratively ignorant of what it takes).

Anyway, if you advise your clients to build on excel, I wish them luck, and wish you, when they fail to grow or simply sustain, to be successful in explaining them that it’s alright and integrators bad and they must just continue. Cause clearly this strategy works for you somehow. Make it work for them with the same energy as here and it’s done.

Hi! I'm a generalist software engineer with 10 YOE working on many things: android, operating systems, internal tools, microservices, distributed systems, frontend/backend web dev, high scale storage and search. As you can see by my experience, I love learning. I'm looking for a product role that is backend-leaning in the SF area. I have experience at 20 person startups (Procore/Airtable) up to 15k+ engineers at Apple. I prefer a smaller company where I can wear more hats and have a larger impact on the product.
They are banning offices, not the actual app though
He waited a year after receiving the intel? He is being roasted for foriegn interference at the moment? He is about to call an election? Salt Typhoon just broke? And Trump is about to light things up on the Foriegn Affairs file?

I actually have no idea either.
This isn’t an interesting statement. I could pull any numbers out of a hat in (0, 1) as probabilities and regardless of the outcome could use the same excuse because there is only a single event to observe.
The squirrel died because it bit a cop and cops LOVE killing pets. Objectively they kill a lot of pets.
It’s hard to get clarity when you aren’t even willing to define the words you’re throwing around.

My refutation about the “donor class” stems from the fact that Trump raised relatively little money compared to his rivals in 2016 yet still won. If the donor class wielded all the power, that couldn’t happen. “Big money” actively supported his opponents in the primaries. I don’t know the stats for this year, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if a similar dynamic happened.
Yes, I am aware. M4 Max would need 4 LPCAMM2 modules, and a hypothetical M4 Ultra would need 8. This sounds unrealistic (especially 4 modules in a laptop), which is why I mentioned a proprietary connector instead. There is precedence for this type of thing in the Mac Studio where the SSD NAND chips are on proprietary removable modules.
Update: the voters in these towns have voted now, and they voted overwhelmingly for the party that wants to cut federal spending, so I think "let it burn" is absolutely the right thing to do now, and is likely what's going to happen.
It’s very unlikely that he would deliberately kneecap her. But I agree with you…that it was too late by the time he dropped out, the electorate had already made its mind.

In the end, I think his policies turned out to be great. But he didn’t have the skills to capitalize on the gains, to seize them and point to them as “wins”. Instead we often saw a somewhat slow, very old but good natured grandpa who was clearly not fully present all the time.

The policy on Gaza though, that made 0 sense. He had the power to bully Netanyahu into stepping back but consistently took no action. Solving that crisis would have been HUGE for reelection, keeping them festering only contributed to the feeling of chaos.
> Unsure what the general mood is that can lead to Keir Starmer dropping 30 points in approval months after winning in a landslide

The window to do your unpopular policies and announcements is the start of your government in the hope the reap the benefits just before the next election cycle. Not saying it’s the correct approach, but that’s the theory.
Likewise my home state, Michigan.

None of the articles I've read mention religion or race. Perhaps these omissions are due to political correctness, but both of these factors are known to be drivers of party affiliation in the US. This makes it really hard to guess what the ultimate dominant issue actually was, if anything.

I do agree that the Dems should be taking more credit (and giving credit to liberal democracy in general) for improving the quality of life, which is ultimately the subject matter of economics.
> Trump survived an assassination attempt, a series of questionably motivated legal challenges,

Sure, but he was plenty popular before all of that. The appeal, imho, is in the calculated appearance of sincerity and toughness... from a guy who is in reality embodies neither of those qualities. Both the assassination and legal challenges amplify the appearance of toughness. The "mean kids" comment is spot on.

> and then leaned into showing up for hostile interviews during the campaign.

Not sure what you're referring to here. Joe Rogan and Theo Von are pretty far from being hostile to Trump.
We worked together for a while, if you are the same M. Deeks I worked with. I think you even interviewed me for the internship job originally.

I agree that this looks like an accidental proxy of the API. Everything was so locked down back then, never thought I'd see the API exposed like this.

Who makes the argument that Democrats support illegal immigration as a way to win over Latino voters?
Republicans (mostly voters) have been openly saying "all democrats should be shot" to my face since at least the creation of Fox News.

Trump himself said Harris should be shot with 9 guns.

Somehow they still get elected.
Not a flaw - the old saw about all idols having feet of clay is, sadly, 99.9% true.
This seems pretty wild to me. Are you saying that I can submit instructions to the CPU and they will not be interleaved and the registers will not be swapped-out with instructions from other EC2 virtual server applications running on the same physical machine?

Targeted tariffs as part of a trade war is significantly different than the proposed universal tariffs to "eliminate taxes" that he's proposed.

AKA: we figured out how to pass a consumption tax which disproportionately hurts poor people without calling it that because we know it's universally unpopular. When billionaires effective tax rate drops to what will probably be 1%, the wheels are going to REALLY fall off.
The point is that from a disinformation dissemination perspective, it doesn't matter where the data was stored, but the government could have possibly had more control if the data was stored in Canada. Forcing the data to be removed from Canada doesn't seem to be accomplishing anything positive for the Canadian government or people.
If you're wondering how bad the situation is regarding young men perception of reality, take a look at genz reddit and at the hottest post of SubredditDrama (the one that talks about genz reddit). On one hand, we should do something at a societal level to prevent young guys go into the red pill rabbit hole. On the other hand, TikTok being banned is a big deal, and I can't say whether it will pay off or not, but sure as hell I hope it does

Edit

On a second read (it's been a long day) they're closing offices but not banning the app, my comment is worthless. But feel free to check out the genz subreddit and get appalled but what's being said there
Shout out to the 99pi.org podcast currently going through a "The Power Broker" run chapter by chapter. Anyone fascinated by roads, where the money goes, and how they can be/are abused is in for a treat.

Roads definitely have a wide impact on communities, and who pays for them is usually critical.
Instead of the laser focus on TikTok as a threat, it would be better for the US and Canada to have real data protection laws that would apply equally to TikTok, Meta, Google, Apple, and X. What the EU has done is far from perfect but it bans the worst practices. The Chinese can buy all of the information they want on Americans and Canadians from ad brokers, who will happily sell them everything they need to track individuals' locations.

Perhaps the way to get anti-regulation politicians on board with this is for someone to do what was done to Robert Bork and legally disclose lots of personal info on members of Congress/Parliament, obtained from data brokers and de-anonymized.
A lot of people are falling for the narrative that taxation has a coherent structure, and all taxes have good reasons, or go towards good causes. It doesn't work that way.

Taxes are just a wealth transfer item that can be used as bartering chip in the collective negotiations we call politics.

One group wants something (doesn't matter what it is) but let's say cannabis legalization. Another group might have no reason to care about that, but since the status quo is illegal, might as well extract some value from the first group. Never give up something for nothing. As such, cannabis taxes are included in all of the legalization bills.

This is the important part: the reasoning comes afterwards. Cannabis will make people unproductive, it will increase car accidents, the whole place will smell like pot, etc. Those are all reasons. There's data in some form to support all of them, but none of them are the real reason, which is that it's just good business to ask for something in return, and take as much as you can get away with.

How does EV trucking solve weight?

It doesn’t, batteries are heavy.

Not only that, tolls suck for privacy (de facto installation of ALPR cameras, database presumptively controlled by a private company selling the data to anyone with money), are a regressive tax on the poor, and are often used to implement "taxation without representation" by sticking the tolls near a state border to extract rents from people not eligible to vote against them.

New York has even taken to explicitly charging higher rates to out of state residents, which is of questionable constitutionality.
There is no censorship - the application is still available in Canada. The order is to close offices in Vancouver and Toronto.

In May of this year, the Canadian government ordered two drone detection companies (Pegauni and Bluvec) to shut down using almost the exact same wording.

For comparison (this is actually quite interesting), here is the ByteDance release:

https://www.canada.ca/en/innovation-science-economic-develop...

And here is the Bluvec/Pegauni release:

https://www.canada.ca/en/innovation-science-economic-develop...

So, there’s no censorship but the releases are extremely similar to drone detection companies.
Seems really simple to me: don't discuss literally everything BUT the concerns of poor white folks? Trump is full of shit but at least he lies TO the majority population. The Dems either ignore, talk down to or dismiss the majority of their constituents. When you make literally every talking point about marginalized groups or the Ukraine or whatever you have no chance of convincing someone to switch to your side because you underline that their concerns are not a priority or even on your radar.

If you spend a quarter of your time discussing transgender athletes or unisex bathrooms 99% of people don't have a personal stake in that. In other words, the Dems aren't doing the fundamental job of politicking, which is to engage with their constituents on the topics that matter to them directly.
China is a communist country, the US and Canada are liberal economies and benefit a lot from that. Should the US and Canada be allowed to behave like that, why would Europe, Asia and other countries of the Americas still allow US Big Tech to do as they please?
Caring about the environment and about not poisoning your customers isn't "hippie", it's being a good human.
Deflation isn't necessarily a problem. Prices for some things like computers and consumer electronics are constantly deflating. Compare the price of a large HDTV today versus 20 years ago. Or do the same with rechargeable batteries or solar panels, etc. Of course much of that deflation was driven by economies of scale in Asian manufacturing hubs and we can argue about whether that's a good thing, but the deflation itself was good.
I think that the idea is that once they ban the offices, then they might have stronger legal justification to ban the app.
That's precisely the logic that allows these atrocities to happen, and frankly anyone supporting this type of thinking is supporting genocide.

The idea that one particular party is owed my alliance no matter what atrocities they support is fundamentally authoritarian which in-itself is a principle I do not abide by.

Given your logic, all is permissible so long as we have one party we can point to and say "they're worse". Which is what leads to as situations where both parties continually move away from the interest of the people. I have far more respect for people who deny there is a genocide, as opposed to those that see it and actively choose to ignore it.

Also what is "would be"? Harris and Biden have been presiding over and supporting the current genocide. I have a hard time imagining it being truly worse during a Trump administration. At the very least mainstream Democrats can allow themselves to oppose genocide now that it no longer interferes with the aims of their party.

It continues to boggle my mind that liberal Democratic will endorse and support genocide without a moment's hesitation or reflection.
> all of our tax dollars to NATO

Total US spending on all defense, not just NATO, is ~$900 billion or ~13-14% of federal spending. NATO has a total annual budget of less than $4 billion and we cover something like 15% of that budget, less than 0.001% of military spending and some infinitesimal portion of overall spend.

> for nothing in return

The US gains incomparable wealth from controlling the global prime currency. Part of the enforcement of this primacy is 750 military bases in 80 countries, giving the US a force projection capability greater than any empire in human history. For the US, NATO is just a just an organizational tool to manage resources among it's allies.
I'm very confused; is there any emergent behavior in this paper, or it's just like "role-play" based on data about what humans do in the LLM. Like, wouldn't they create novel social structures if they had needs? That doesn't seem so hard to program (the needs part).

It is not about the data. It’s about a foreign government controlling the algorithm that decides what millions of people see, and their ability to shape public opinion through that.

Like imagine if China owned CNN and the New York Times and decided what stories they could publish.
I think — as a Remainer who remained so hard I responded by moving to Berlin — that "why" is "because it was a referendum and that's how those work".

It's not sufficient (or necessary) to be correct to win in a democracy, winning requires being convincing, which may be easier with the truth but is also much harder when insulting half the electorate.

Even when it's very tempting afterwards to say "we told you so".

As for how to be convincing… dunno. I'm much more comfortable with computers where I can google the errors.

> How can a chancellor expect voters in fresh elections to bolster their chancellorship, just right after losing a vote of confidence?

I'd say in general, because his party has gained in the polls since the original election that put him in office.

In Brandt's case, he probably indeed thought that voters would reward him for this "political flex" and selflessness for the benefit of the country. Asking for the vote and thereby risking his own career, but also resolving the stalemate in government after they had their majority dramatically reduced.

I'm guessing that Scholz has a similar idea, but with how much the SPD already lost in polls since the last election, I don't see it going well for them and him. In fact, a majority of people are very unhappy with the government and have been in favor of new elections for months now. His plan of getting "critical" bills passed before Christmas with this minority government won't work. Opposition parties would be suicidal to work with him. So I'd say, the longer Scholz waits, the worse the SPD results will be. He needs to ask for the vote immediately, not in 2 months.

So your answer to multiple specific examples is "nah, the other guys probably do it too, trust me bro"? Yes, Trump went beyond all recent presidents, in pretty much every way.

Sabotaging the FBI's background check is absolutely without comparison. It was corrupt and inexcusable.

While yes, all presidents will tend to appoint justices they agree with, you cannot in good faith say that there is any comparison between Jackson and Sotomayor on the one hand, and Kavanaugh and Barrett on the other, in terms of qualifications to sit on the bench. And that's just at the Supreme Court level - the whole affair in Florida with Aileen Cannon is another level of obscene.

The "official acts" decision is completely without legal historical merit, and was made up out of whole cloth to allow Trump's appointees to protect him from any consequences from the judicial branch (remember that whole idea of three co-equal branches of government?). No other president has dared make so bold a claim, both because the idea that the Court should be subservient to the president is clearly at odds with how the American government has worked for almost its entire history, and because they didn't have personal crimes to cover up.

I do have a vendetta against Trump, but you have the cause and effect backwards. I don't think he's a bad president because I hate him, I hate him because I think he's a bad president who is dangerous to me personally, to the United States as an institution, and to the continuation of the human race. But perhaps even more than that, I hate him because he has enabled and legitimized pathetically transparent bad-faith arguments like this.
The increase in real estate costs severely limits the opportunities for musicians to play live. I've seen some cover bands randomly at bars, but it's rough out there.

I also remember in my youth in Miami there were numerous clubs just for different genres of music for Hardcore, Ska, punk and everything in between where people would play local shows. It's all but dead now.
> And if the norms mean giving all of our tax dollars to NATO for nothing in return

All your tax dollars? How much do you think the US spends on defense without giving anything to NATO? Do you think that’ll somehow decrease if you leave NATO? It just means you’ll have to handle everything yourself. At least currently the US gets to charter about half of all their craft from various European allies.

I'm curious. Let's say Biden hadn't completely bombed the debate but continued to muddle along as he had been, and the DNC didn't try to force him out. Would he have won?
