Weird. You'd think they'd want to cast a wide net to get the very best applicants.
>I'm not convinced of the strategic importance of ethanol in the grand scheme; the US produces more of it because the subsidy creates that incentive.

Yes, that's the intent. Whenever you subsidize something, you get more of it. If you're looking for strategic rationale, the US relies much more on gasoline than, say, the EU. Couple that with the fact that US strategic oil reserves are at the lowest levels in 40 years, that only leaves about a month of fuel in the reserve at current usage. Meaning, there is a strategic need to have the infrastructure in place to supplement fuel supply if needed. Even if we don't need it now, the lead time for building out infrastructure is long enough that is makes sense to have slack capacity in place now.

>It's not abstracted away as healthy eating is concerned. Overconsumption is downstream.

Corn subsidies are abstracted away. They're related, but not directly considering the other uses of corn. Irrespective of that point, I think we may have lost the thread here. We don't seem to disagree on the central premise that overconsumption of calories is the root issue. The original claim was that a sugar tax would help remedy this issue. The counter-claim was that removing corn subsidies would be a better approach than a sugar tax.

My point is that the counter-claim is lacking nuance, and ignores all the second order effects. I'm not against removing subsidies, but I would want someone to acknowledge how they would mitigate the negative knock-on effects. What you've presented is a bit hand-wavy for my taste, implying we can just swap this crop for that and ignore concerns related to strategic fuel, agricultural stability, and costs. In the context of all those secondary and tertiary impacts, it seems like a direct tax (like a sugar tax) is preferential. I probably wouldn't limit it to just a sugar tax though, and would look to target other food that leads to overconsumption (including those that aren't disproportionately affecting lower socio-economic groups), and ideally making healthier choices less expensive if we're making the others more costly.
thanks! IMO, excel spreadsheet is like the compiler for finance folks, there is no better way to learning and practising finance on this interface.
There are thousands of other DNS servers out there, public and private. France (or whoever) isn't poisoning every random open DNS server in Kansas or whatever. I can even set up a new one right now on my VPS too for like 1 dollar a month.
I’d hazard a guess that this is using the Microsoft Trellis [0] open source project released last week. You can download the weights and the code right now, just need an Nvidia GPU with at least 16GB vram.

I saw people doing this manually on X last Friday, using FLUX diffusion model -> Trellis -> Blender

For context, legendary Magnus Carlsen was 23 when he first became world champion. Ding Liren, the other finalist and previous winner, is 32. The title holder before Magnus was Anand who first won the title at age 31 (or arguably 38, depending on your stance about the PCA). Kramnik before him was 31. Legendary Garry Kasparov was 22.

It's normal for the champion to get his first win in his early 30s. Getting it in your early 20s is how you become famous beyond the chess world. Doing it with 18 is seriously impressive.
Your posts in this thread have said exactly what I was thinking
Youtube and Reddit are the worst. I am pretty convinced the aggressive blocking is not because of abuse, but because VPNs actually have become a problem for tracking and data mining.

I have the suspicion the IP blocking is somewhat coordinated between Youtube and Reddit, to maximize annoyance and discourage VPN usage, since I frequently find exit server working for either one of them, but not both. Disrupting the ping pong of social media for VPN users, seems like an effective strategy to influence their behavior. And since they are natural monopolies respectively, they hardly risk alienating anyone doing so. Similar to how cookie banners are abused to modify people's sentiment on privacy regulations in favor of data mining. Even many tech people believe annoying cookie banners are the EU's fault, when common practice is either malicious compliance, unwarranted or straight illegal.

That said, it is actually fucking annoying. Then again, just a nuance in the greater enshittification and rapidly growing dissatisfaction with the web overall for me.
Algorithms for high performance terminal apps – Textual
The usage of "free" is almost always used when referring to something that can be obtained/used without exchanging money.

Google is not requiring you to pay for an account. Even if they were, you could still complain that this is not "free without an active internet subscription", or "free without owning a device that can connect to the internet", or "free without taking up 5 minutes of my time".

And intelligent enough to hold a grudge against familiar people. But I don’t think we’ve lost any hens under his watch.
The mobile spreadsheet problem is definitely a hurdle, I think finance quizzes would be great to have on the go as a supplemental education piece.

Breaking down the formulas that work in certain situations or how certain modeling strategies are implemented conceptually could also lend well to a mobile platform without also requiring a “mobile spreadsheet” approach, which in all honesty sounds like a nightmare development process.

Either way, love the platform and wishing you all the best!
Here’s a 2024 link from the FTC: https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act...

> Despite its name, the CAN-SPAM Act doesn’t apply just to bulk email. It covers all commercial messages, which the law defines as “any electronic mail message the primary purpose of which is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service,” including email that promotes content on commercial websites. The law makes no exception for business-to-business email. That means all email – for example, a message to former customers announcing a new product line – must comply with the law.

That doesn’t specifically mention spam, but it does indicate how strictly regulators define what they consider to be commercial email. And if it’s unsolicited commercial email, i.e. UCE… it’s spam.
It's quite surprising what the brain can do to people under stress.

Everybody, even chess amateurs knew that the rook trade was a blunder instantly, yet pressure can play such terrible jokes.
I thought it was a demo, but when I put in a prompt, it popped up with a hand asking for money first. I’m not paying without trying it out first.
Did you follow the whole thread, over to the back-and-forth on reddit? Somebody from Kiwix confirms they did in fact get the email warning.

You talked right past the actual point being made, to beat a straw man instead. Being downvoted or shunned for not actually engaging with a topic yet condemning it anyway is not equivalent to being canceled.

And as far as the overall culture war reprise dynamic, I don't see much difference in having to placate the egos of HR drones talking about diversity and the previous culture of having to placate the egos of traditional business bureaucrats waxing poetically about the virtues of mega golf or spending money on a boat. Either way you just smile, nod, and fit in, or you forge your own way outside of the pop culture power structure.
