That's not really most of the problem though.

It's more along the lines of, people hear "money laundering" and think this implies some kind of drug ring or terrorism, when it's really some laws so expansive and nebulous that ordinary people frequently do it without knowing, so now there are laws on the books that allow random normies to be charged with a felony at the discretion of the prosecutor.

And these laws tend to take a very specific form: They're laws against things adjacent to other crimes, instead of laws against the original crimes themselves. So this is like, the CFAA putting felony penalties on "unauthorized access" when the implication justifying the penalty is "unauthorized access in order to commit a crime like credit card fraud" and the solution is to put those penalties on the actual fraud. Or "money laundering" which implies an underlying crime to be laundering the proceeds of which implies that it's redundant and they should instead be charged with the underlying crime.

Because what those laws erroneously allow is for someone to be charged with the secondary offense without ever establishing the primary one, or substituting a minor primary offense even though the penalties for the secondary offense were set under the assumption it was a major one. Which is how ordinary people get ensnared.

But we don't need those laws at all because you can charge the actual criminals with their actual crimes, so they should just be repealed, or converted into minor misdemeanors with the heavy penalties instead being imposed on the associated serious crime and only when it actually exists.

I'm not saying this is a good rationalization, but it is a fairly rational one, as those things go.
Sure, if you're offering.

Otherwise they're a speculative investment that carries a ton of risk, so I won't be investing my own money.

Maybe in terms of being a word processor (i.e. supporting all the layout and editing/proofing features that Word has.)

But if, as the GP says, you want a program to “just let you write” (with some "writing-phase" accoutrements like change-tracking, word count, a dynamic Table of Contents, and so forth) — and you want a pleasant experience while writing, that takes advantage of the acceleration of native OS UI elements to keep that writing as smooth and jank-free as possible... then I’d assume Pages would be the clear winner, no?

(That, or just TextEdit. Though I’m not sure if TextEdit is optimized for novel-length texts the way word processors would tend to be.)

I don't. That's one of the weird things about ads, as grandparent comment demonstrates. Adults in the USA are expected to act like ads have zero influence, act like ads are isolated, with no context.

If I point out that ads are mostly lies, and even the meta commentary on ads (tight targeting) are lies, I often get your response. I'm not blaming you at all, I just find it all strange. Advertising clearly effects sales, and advertisers clearly influence ad supported media, we're just supposed to ignore those elephants in the room.

The story of XHTML is instructive to the field of software design. There are plenty of good resources on the web if you search why did XHTML fail?

HTML parsing at least is deterministic and fully specified, whereas XHTML, as an XML, leaves a number of syntax errors up to the parser and undefined.

Conforming software may detect and report an error and may recover from it.

While fatal errors should cause all parser to reject a document outright, this also leaves the end-user without any recovery of the information they care about. So XHTML leaves readers at a loss while failing to eliminating parsing ambiguity and undefined behavior.

Interestingly, it’s possible to encode an invalid DOM with XHTML while it’s impossible to do so in HTML. That means that XML/XHTML has given up the possibility of invalid syntax (by acting like it doesn’t exist) for the sake of inviting invalid semantics.
At the end of the day, it’s some bytes with no inherit value other than the memetic fomo of artificial scarcity. It’s only interesting or exciting (to me) because there are people who will buy it, so you can get rich “speculating” that if you hold, the price will go up so you can unload to a bigger fool. At least with Etherium there’s some intrinsic value in terms of distributed computation.

It doesn't need to be perceptible to cause a difference in a game.

Suppose two players notice each other at the same time (e.g. as would naturally happen when walking around a corner in a shooter), first to shoot wins, and their total latencies are identical Gaussians with a standard deviation of 100ms. Then a 6.5ms reduction in latency is worth an additional 2.5% chance of winning the trade. Maybe you won't notice this on a moment by moment basis, but take statistics and its impact should be measurable.

In ELO terms a 2.5% gain in win rate is around a 10 point increase (simplifying by assuming that single Gaussian is the entire game). That's small, but if you were a hardcore player and all it took to raise your ELO by 10 points was using a better monitor/mouse/OS... why not? Doing that is cheap compared to the time investment required to improve your ELO another 10 points with practice (unless you're just starting).

Also, I think you'd be surprised what people can perceive in a context where they are practiced. Speed runners hit frame perfect tricks in 60FPS games. That's not reaction time but it does intimately involve consistent control latency between practice and execution.

"We do have a lot of interest in blockchain, the technology behind cryptocurrencies. We believe its application to a number of other uses besides crypto will make capital markets more efficient, and we’ve been actively involved in research to use blockchain technology."

The exact opposite is true. Blockchain "technology" is useless beyond its ability to enable Bitcoin - a monetary innovation. Using it for anything other than that is simply trying to find a problem for a solution. Crypto beyond Bitcoin is also largely useless beyond serving as a democratized casino.

I feel like I misunderstand something. Why are fake signups happening automatically? And if they do, why isn't faking user activity automatic too?

Do you mean that "Active User" count is just based on login, so it's "fake" as in "the user isn't actually active just because they only logged in"? In contrast to the other number that is based on actual engagement?

You have some interesting thoughts. But:

> 0. COVID-19 was mostly harmless. Even more so than Douglas Adam's books.

At the beginning of the pandemic, I found out that my father and his partner had COVID. He lived, at the time, about 12 hours drive from me. Where he lived, his support network was thin (to say the least) - the little family he had nearby needed to keep away because they were responsible for caring for my cousin with a severely weakened immune system. His friends, sadly, also contracted COVID around the same time.

I called him twice a day, and each call he was worse than the last. I decided to rent an AirBnB nearby. My partner and I packed up the dog and everything we needed and drove overnight to get there.

We masked up, and got supplies at Walmart. We brought them to my Dad’s house and left them on the patio - retreated a safe distance - and my Dad came to retrieve them. He was in an awful condition, and his partner was worse.

For the next week I came to their porch every few hours, and called my dad, and we spoke with what little breath he had. He dictated his last will and testament to me. I delivered pedialyte, meal replacement shakes, pulse oximeters, anything to help them make it through. I forced them to get up and move around a little from time to time, and took notes on their condition. They wouldn’t let me in the house.

One day, before I arrived with supplies, my Dad told me they had called an ambulance for his partner. They took his partner to the local hospital… and the hospital turned him away because they had no beds. They essentially sent my Dad’s partner home to die.

By some miraculous turn of events, they survived. They have issues walking and breathing to this day, but they survived.

It’s one of the more agonizing, awful things I’ve ever had to watch. COVID-19 wasn’t harmless; it killed millions. I saw it up close. Especially early on, it was virulent and deadly, and very nearly took my parents from me. It did end up taking a lot of people in my extended social network. They died agonizing deaths.

How dare you paint it as “mostly harmless.”

the unpleasant truth is that the odious "bot marketing" you perceive is just the effect of influencers everywhere seizing upon the exciting topic du jour

if you go back a few weeks or months there was also hype about minimax, nvidia's "world models", dsv3, o3, hunyuan, flux, papers like those for titans or lcm rendering transformers completely irrelevant…

the fact that it makes for better "content" than usual (say for titans) is because of the competitive / political / "human interest" context — china vs the US, open weights vs not, little to no lip service paid to "safety" and "alignment" vs those being primary aspects of messaging and media strategy, export controls and allegedly low hardware resources vs tons of resources, election-related changes in how SV carries itself politically — and while that is to blame for the difference in sheer scale the underlying phenomenon is not at all different

I think someone else pointed this out as well, but if the business fail, they can most likely do a tax write-off.
The poverty rate above 50% of the population is something that happens when a country goes over several corrupt governments that steal everything the people have and put it in the hands of a handful of people that are always prepared to flee.

All those people failing to notice Argentina was poor before Milei got the presidency either have no idea what they are talking about or are malicious.

Now, yes, about worsening public services; Milei did the basic thing so the country can actually do something, the real test for his government is how he fixes those problems. (From the shit he talks, I would be in he not fixing anything, but if he actually acted like he talks he wouldn't have got inflation under control and would probably be already out of the presidency by now.)
75 years of Peronism?
As another Portlander, disagree with exceptions: surveillance footage made it harder to identify people from top down angles, and it meant that a lot of people had their charges dismissed because of that. (I will need to look it up.) The bigger risk to a protest movement, I would argue, is an opposing agent provocateurs trying to get people doxxed. That risk to more people outweighs getting minority of provocateurs shut down.

(On the other hand, you’re also right that agent provocateurs are old COINTELPRO-era tactics used by the state and right wingers against protest movements.)

When it comes to tactics to keep yourself safe when protesting, there aren’t ultimately too many hard beliefs to be had, especially when the right are perfectly happy to collaborate with the state.
Here's one from yesterday.

>A lot of people use Microsofts products out of old habit and because they are simply not aware of any alternatives.

This is an incomplete take. People use MS Office because everyone else uses it. In practice, that means if you try an alternative, then there's no assurance that your documents will render or function the same way on an MS Office installation.

I tried going all LibreOffice when I was a grad student. I had to write a tech report to submit to our funding agency, using a Word template they require. It looked great on my computer. But when my advisor reviewed my document on his MS Office installation, the formatting was all wrong and unusable. Ditto for spreadsheets and slide decks (I can't count the number of times Google Slides mangled my PPTX formatting after I accidentally opened the file in the browser and it auto-saved). That's the reality of doing non-trivial work with external stakeholders if you're not using MS Office.

The CPI time series you provided is monthly % change. Here's M2 in those same units: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1DcYJ

They look pretty similar to me. Chaotic in the short term, but averaging positive between 0-1%. In other words, slow but consistent exponential growth. I didn't say anything about a discontinuity in '08, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with that.

Edit: here they are both plotted side by side in those units: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1DcZr

There are two problems IMO with that stance: one, they're not that good yet, and two, we don't know if they actually surpass paces of human ability to consume and flush concepts down the drain.

Fully disagree. Tokenization enables better financial markets. Bitcoin is the useless asset since it's proven that productive assets (think stocks) are better store of values than unproductive ones (think gold). Ethereum in that sense is productive because you can stake it for a yield and collaterize it natively to borrow against it and you can tokenize anything on top of it.
Gold sucks as a backing for an economy (for similar reasons!), which is why everyone moved off it.
