I think a lot of the confusion here comes from a conflict between people talking in personal mode and societal modes. As an individual, you absolutely want minimum wage to be temporary, and if you are smart and lucky you can usually make this happen.

You're taking more a societal point of view. At this level, I think you're missing the point of minimum wage. It doesn't provide a family with a living wage; it's just a limit on the monetary abuse that an above board company can dish out, just like we have labor laws that limit other types of abuse (like excessive hours for example). Whether and how our society should be ensuring living wages is kind of another discussion, much more complex. As they currently stand, minimum wages are probably a net good.

When it comes to playing the game between friends outside official tournaments, you are basically correct (though some use cost as a power level limiter).

When it comes to trading, you don’t want to accidentally pay a premium for something you won’t be able to resell. Lots of players view trading as, more or less, leasing cards. Valuable cards typically have fairly stable prices (though there are notable exceptions). Buy for a dollar sell for somewhere between 0.75 and 1.25.
That's what's most valuable to me too. If I remember correctly, Ben Eater (8bit CPU from scratch guy) and Grant Sanderson (3b1b guy) tried to do a little experiment on education with this guided-yet-interactive learning material back in 2018 (!!). As someone working in EDU sector of tech, I'm constantly amazed by what people come up with in order to explain things to other people (or even themselves). Whatever the experiment was, I'd say it was a success, and I hope we get to see more such material on other topics in future.
This simply isn't how evolution works. There's no way to be "beyond" it. It's an inevitable facet of populations of living organisms.

If a population used genetic engineering to collectively ensure their genetics didn't change, no mutations, no other populations involved, then... I guess? Otherwise, there is this staggering multitude of influences.

Living longer and reproducing longer is a huge weight on the scales of evolution. Why does anyone need to die early for it to work?
Originally the rule was specifically for cards damaged during the tournament. If a card was in acceptable condition at the start of the tournament but became marked during play you'd be required to substitute it for a proxy, and then acquire a real replacement before the next tournament.
I agree, it's not at all perfectly random. For some the chances are better than 1 in 3 million, for others they are miniscule and improbable.
I suspect there are plenty of unmotivated people who got rich from rsus already, and this is early retirement offer for mutual benefit.
That's true, but are they checking out books? :-) I just mean that from what I've seen, young people use libraries as a study space at least as much as they use them to obtain books (either for on-premises readng or for checkout).

There are unsanctioned events that allow proxies but it can put a store's wpn status at risk. For most competitive tournaments you need real cards, but a lot of competition for legacy and vintage are on mtgo (the old online magic client) now which is much cheaper and has rental services.
Thanks!

Yeah, frustration with the existing solutions was one of the main reasons I started this project.

I was working in creating immersive audio, and I just found that none of the plugins allowed the level of placement that I wanted. It was all fiddly, and you couldn't easily move the listening position around, while also moving sound sources.

I came from an audio engineering background, not programming, so it took me a while to even learn how to make software! But now I made the tool I always needed.
TIL printer dots! Also curious if someone more familiar with this space/community could provide more backstory here. Reading some of the comments in the forum, it seems like 1) these "beta cards" surfaced a while ago and have been a contentious topic since, 2) a card authenticator business is involved. What's the scale of this scheme? What's the impact going forward/how much money is tied into this?

I don't think you are arguing for the same thing as Hartley. I strongly approve of some things he says: "people believe that just pouring ground on top and bottom lowers EMI... well it doesn't!" (6:04) or "there is no four layer stackup that's wonderfu... no 'gosh, isn't that great?' four-layer stackup, they just don't exist, it's four layers, you know, you can only do so much with it" (7:29). No mention of VDD noise or discussion of how a good, well-decoupled power plane is basically as good as a ground plane for AC return currents.

I believe you are trying to get a stackup that supports use of stripline for signals. That is a reasonable goal but it is only appropriate for very high speed digital designs. If you route stripline on a regular basis, you're either very experienced or clueless. No middle ground!

Really, for heavy-duty work, you need six. And you can argue with me, and say that by great skill you can get things into four layers, and that is true. But six-layer boards are cheap compared to what they used to be, so for anything not going into true high-volume manufacturing, just go for six or eight. In all other cases, the design cost hit will outweigh the parts cost savings.
Coming to a reasonable consensus on what constitutes good and bad would be a start.

We can’t even agree on that, in the US, at least.

I'm sorry, what?! Given the options between, opportunity for a promotion at some point, and not being injured by your job. You would prioritize maybe promoting people over preventing people from getting injured?

First, when given two options, and asked to decide, the first thing every engineer should do is ask, "why not both?". But also, Perhaps you should consider listening to fewer podcasts from Lord Farquaad?

Something to keep in mind trying to reason about appropriate responses and preparation:

The IC now has a century or so invested in perfecting the techniques whereby good people are led to do either nothing or bad thing, some of which are almost impossible to either detect or disrupt unless you are actively on guard—and that may well not save you.

One analogy is to image yourself the target of "pick up artist" strategies backed by state-level resources. Not just one person matching their manipulation—based on focused study on human motivation, belief steering, and behavior steering—but an institution.

Against the concerted efforts and craft of a committed IC you and I are utterly helpless...

...as individuals.

Systemic confrontation and disruption is IMO the only viable path to preventing this sort of abuse under people like Patel.

That can be selection bias too.

Maybe the counterfeits where there is nothing wrong with the registration of colours are just not recognised as counterfeits.

These stablecoin issuers are enormous buyers of US treasuries: "Tether Holdings owned $97.6 billion worth of US Treasuries in June 2024, a new high. Hence, Tether now owns more US Treasuries than the governments of Germany, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Australia. Hence, Tether is now the 18th largest holder of US Treasury bonds" (https://medium.com/coinmonks/tether-usdt-is-the-third-larges...)

Dollars are also more dominant as a reserve currency in stablecoins (~97%) than they are in real-world trade (https://digitalchamber.org/stablecoinreport/).

I.e., we see stablecoins as extending dollar dominance, not reducing it.

They keep saying that a "large" increase in minimum wage results in a 4.6% increase in case rate. But they don't [d̶e̶f̶i̶n̶e̶ ̶"̶l̶a̶r̶g̶e̶"̶ ̶(̶e̶s̶p̶e̶c̶i̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶v̶s̶.̶ ̶"̶s̶m̶a̶l̶l̶"̶,̶ ̶w̶h̶i̶c̶h̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶p̶o̶i̶n̶t̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶l̶e̶a̶d̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶l̶o̶w̶e̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶c̶a̶s̶e̶ ̶r̶a̶t̶e̶)̶,̶ ̶n̶o̶r̶ ̶d̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶] point out a margin of error or a noise floor early enough in the paper for a non-paying reader to see.

They also say that they "do not find evidence that capital-labor substitution could be behind the findings", but its again not within the scope of the free article to show how they were looking for such evidence, and what defined "capitol-labor substitution". Were they looking purely for "it costs $5k a year to provide everyone with safety glasses, but operating costs just increased by $50k on what used to net $60k of profit, so I guess we're not doing safety glasses anymore" or if the same reasoning was used on $600k of profit. The former is clearly capitol-labor substitution, the latter is being cheap out of spite.

Maybe these questions are being answered in a satisfactory manner, but the fact that they use a blend of wiggle words and hard numbers, with no clarifying context even in the abstract, suggests to me that this does not actually support the strawman everybody seems to be getting from it, which is "see, paying the person at McDonalds enough to actually make rent this month might get them killed! You don't want to pay them so much they might die, right?"
When I said lower stomach acid I meant in quantity, not acidity, you're right!
Big businesses are usually more efficient, even simply due to scale. They need fewer employees for the same amount of sales. Raising the minimum wage squeezes away the least-qualified employees, who are constrained in various ways (language, education, health, etc). The more qualified employees may and do of course benefit.

High minimum wages work well with a strong social security network, and higher taxes to support it. It's not what we have in the US though.

> If labor costs go up equally then a business isn't at a competitive disadvantage

The classic low wage job is flipping burgers. Everyone with a kitchen is a competitor to this business, and if restaurants all raise prices in lock step, it stands to reason at least some people will cook at home instead.

> if a business isn't creating jobs that provide a living wage then it shouldn't be allowed to exist ... I don't want to subsidize a business so that it can avoid paying its employees.

I doubt you meant it this way, but that's a fascinating argument against progressive taxation.

I'm just making an observation in the sense of "the purpose of system is what it does", not writing a treatise on the history of rhetoric around minimum wage. Maybe "intended" was a poor word choice on my part. Minimum wage can't easily feed and house 3 dependents in many places as it stands today.
EURion is a funny[1] kind of DRM, what caught the fake Pokemon cards is Xerox DocuColor[0], a watermarking technology.

The difference is that DRM is designed to prevent you from copying something, while watermarking is designed to make you dox yourself if you copy something. I've yet to see evidence that EURion et. all actually stop counterfeiting, but watermarking has been very effective at finding counterfeiters.

[0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots

[1] Most DRM is intended to enforce copyright; but the state is not asserting copyright over the image of a banknote. There are cases where it is legal and moral to completely reproduce a faithful image of a banknote, and those cases are much broader than the various exceptions to copyright that exist.
> explaining it.

I am not in the field, but my understanding is that ever since the PaLM paper, research has mostly been kept from the public. OpenAI's money making has been a catalyst for that right? Would love some more insight.
They have long term health consequences and reduce your stomach acid quantity enough that the acid doesn't make it's way back up the throat. So it's masking the root cause. The knock-on effect of taking PPIs or H2-blockers is that you end up with lower acidity which means worse food digestion which means being more prone to bugs and bacteria in food not being wiped out before it gets to the small intestine where it can cause bigger issues like SIBO.

Having the right amount of stomach acid and low PH is crucial to keep the whole digestive system, gut motility and more running properly.

Bridge tournaments don't require the players to bring their own royal court to hold. Everyone gets to use cards proxying the various kings, provided by the tournament.

MTG tournaments become a test of playing skill, deck building skill, and the skill to have enough money to buy important limited production cards. It is what it is, but sometimes it feels gross.

I have to somewhat disagree here.

Amazon purchased wholefoods in 2017 to bootstrap their own distribution system. One year after sears went under.

My point is that sears had room and time for years to pivot their business model into something more profitable. They had the land, warehouses, and distribution system bigger than what amazon paid $13 billion to acquire. Heck, for fairly little money, sears could have entered or expanded into the shipping industry to compete with FedEx and UPS. They could have partnered with Amazon to handle their shipping.

The free market failure here is that the management team did nothing wrong by shareholders which in turn killed the company. They didn't die because they were being out competed, they died because management valued the next quarters profits over the long term success of the business.

The fact that the free market doesn't really care if a business does that is where it fails. The negative social impacts of large companies failing is tremendous and another problem with the free market. While business failing is value neutral for the free market, it's economically and socially a disaster.
