My solution to this was to sell my home and leave San Francisco after living there 19 years. The moment I had a baby on the way, it no longer became tenable for me to deal with the lack of cleanliness or safety on the streets.

The irony is that I moved to Mexico City. It’s a far safer place than San Francisco.
Isn’t their job to perform the orders of their bosses (the administration), within the law? Being disloyal sounds a lot like a rebrand of not doing the job they’re being asked to do. I don’t know the specifics of this situation - I just mean that federal workers generally are the employees of the administration in a way.
Idk if there’s any meaningful metric which we can compare brain compute with digital compute.

Bc… we can do training and inference at the same time… while maintaining balance, operating machinery, or any number of tasks which are computationally expensive for digital computers. Maybe that implies we train and infer more efficiently, but it may just as well imply that our brains are more computationally powerful.

Maybe our conscious mind has less compute than H100s, but our entire brain maybe not.

It’s an apples to oranges comparison any which way.
Oh I don’t think of it like that - it was not a super serious competition and aside from some lighthearted ribbing there was certainly no suffering from any failure.
Your experience is unusual. Generators are expensive and require maintenance, and many stores (even larger chains) don’t have them. And, as anyone who’s worked with or in a data enter knows, sometimes they don’t work when needed.

Many grocery stores rely on short notice rental of refrigerated semi trailers rather than the ongoing maintenance / testing of generators.
Ok then email both Bookshop.org + the publisher citing the specific book. If they now have a bigger agreement that should not happen (for new books). For old/ second-hand, sure.
I wasn't planning on buying long-term bonds regardless; historically I have bought short-term treasury bills, usually 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the coupon rate, so I'm not too worried about the value on the secondary market. I'm much more concerned with the fed defaulting on paying me back.

I more or less came to the same conclusion that you listed; I don't really want to create a big taxable event, so I think right now I'm going to keep the stock I have, and in the shorter term keep future income in a savings account for awhile and suss out if there's going to be a crash or not.

Obviously you can't really "time" the market but it's a pretty low-risk experiment on my end.
Whatever the stupidity around this memecoin, it's hard to argue he isn't doing something to help the argentinian economy.

It turns out it doesn't take much to appear to be an economic genius - just stop spending money the government doesn't have and get rid of onerous market regulations (eg. rent controls).

I'm in support of social spending to support those in need, but it's clear Argentina was moving ever-further away from being able to sustain that kind of discretionary spending as a country. They need to get their house in order first.
Get more folks involved in local volunteering opportunities, especially ones with direct outreach to people in need.

I'm heavily involved with Austin Bicycle Meals [1]. When a homeless person already knows you are there to help, it creates an entirely different social dynamic than normal. You get opportunities to make conversation and connections, which humanizes how we view these issues.

That's a total reversal to how most people interact with the homeless: in an entirely avoidant manner either randomly on the street or through a car window. That's why so much of the general public is numb to their plight.

The change in mindset that happens is really powerful, can take only a couple of hours of volunteering to happen, and something I hope more people seek out.

Funny way to say you don't know what you're talking about. If you don't know what technologies are actually out there how can you say what is and is not possible?

> but what percentage of users of the broader internet are actually running a router that supports this?

Most who aren't running their own home rolled pf setup that can't be bothered to read about "the latest" (over a decade old) RFCs.

And yeah, last I ran a UniFi gateway it supported PMP. That was several years ago. If it's a recent model device with halfway decent IPv6 support it's practically a sure thing it's got PMP support. Maybe disabled, but it supports it. Same with UPnP, might be disabled, but probably supported.
It was an ironic twist of fate that we were preparing specifically for this type of challenge and, when presented with exactly what we had prepared for we failed to see the solution.
Understanding it isn’t hard.

Obviously you can use (just) IPv6, e.g. GitHub.
Just the other day I was trying to create a new Google account, and was surprised by how much PII it was asking from me. I have a handful of Google accounts, the newest one created I think almost of a decade ago? I don't remember I needed any PII to create them, no phone number, no credit card, etc.

So do completely "normal" people under 2 common circumstances.

1) People regularly break laws. This can be intentionally - j-walking, downloading copyrighted material, drugs, and so on endlessly. It can also be unintentional - for instance many places have laws against using a phone while driving, which could include something as simple as answering it or looking at a notification. Then there are the zillion weird laws let alone unenforced laws which remain laws nonetheless. Give me all your information and I'll turn you into a criminal.

2) Normal today is enemy of the state tomorrow. One of the main ways the Nazi government targeted Jews was by using a public census conducted years earlier. Without that census (and novel hardware to scan it, developed by IBM) their efforts would have been far less effective. This is a really disconcerting one today as politics becomes far more divisive and radical on all sides, all paired alongside surveillance dragnets that'd make the Stasi blush.
Most people searching for "elm" are researching elm trees, not the language - the highest search activity was in May 2010, before Elm existed.

Fair enough; store of value additionally requires restricted supply so that the value isn't debased. But in the context of this thread, that just strengthens the argument that 'Bitcoin is different'.

They didn't use computers in 1940 for it though. All this was stored on paper where using days since 1875 wouldn't have made much sense. That would lead to most of the beneficiaries having a negative number.

They didn't get their first computer until 1956 and by that point, the 1875 date would have made little sense.

It simply makes more sense there was data entry errors. Indeed, we know there are since the SSA makes records available for dead people. They show people supposedly born as early as 1800:

No, the information is associated with the payer of an account. I'm not sure the underlying data source (probably Experian and friends?), but there are a number of services providing that sort of phone/identify "verification". It's orthogonal to caller ID.

That’s pretty debatable and entirely depends on how you define safety. I live in cdmx btw.
> who have experienced little to no suffering in life

Money is basically coupons that let you tell someone else to do something instead of you doing it.

Is all suffering in life removable by telling other people to do things? I don’t think so. Certainly some things, but probably not even a majority, let alone all.

In fact I think a common pattern is where someone chases money for years, gets it, and then realizes it doesn’t actually solve most of their problems.
On the operation side of things,
requiring phone number greatly reduce throwaway accounts and spam. You can't kill all spam, but it is down to a manageable level.

Yes, some legitimate user can't sign up. Depends on what business you are in, and how much budget you put into spam/abuse prevention, this may or may not make sense.

Repeating secondhand information from someone who has spent a few days looking at an immensely complex system with which they have zero experience doesn’t give a lot of additional confidence.

Indeed, how can an outsider like Musk and his DOGE compatriots make any claim at all? I think it is far more likely that Elon was mistaken, or lied, than the SSA is paying out to multiple non-existent 150 year-olds. In fact, that there are so many plausible explanations that don't involve fraud, it really behooves us to be skeptical. Elon made the claim: he is responsible for supplying the evidence.

Note that the doge.gov website has a section called "savings," which originally said "Receipts coming by Valentine's Day." Now it says "Receipts coming over the weekend!", and seeing as it's 11:50pm on the East Coast of the US right now, that seems unlikely, too.

That's what the article was written for-- and it's one valid perspective on it.

To those whose lives have been irreparably harmed by the violent mentally ill people inhabiting SF's streets and parks while the police stand idle and billions of their tax dollars are spent annually failing to solve the problem-- it might hit a bit differently. That isn't the story here, but when you see people taking it differently than you it isn't necessarily because are in any way lacking in compassion.

The article paints the person in question as a harmless Garden Hermit ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_hermit ), perhaps he is but many of the support-resistant homeless are certainly not harmless.

And then you get in a car accident when driving a time you otherwise wouldn’t have been, wherein you maim the otherwise grandfather of a founder of the mega corporation temporally exploiting you — thereby eliminating the whole event.

Messing with your own history, given that most systems are chaotic, seems inherently risky. Even in warfare, you’d have a hard time predicting the outcome over more than a short interval.
I’ve edited my post above, before I saw your reply. I’m not making anything personal here, I’m debating you. If you don’t like that, then don’t state your disagreement with me and invite argument.

BTW, you lobbed an ad-hominem with “extremely ungenerous” which is why you got my retort that was edited out. Maybe you didn’t realize you were already making it personal yourself?

Personally, I think you’re confused about the difference between rules and ethics. Yes, we’re talking about different sets of rules. But we have not been talking about different sets of ethics. The difference between a speedrunner’s shortcut being good and a marathoner’s shortcut being bad is rules, not ethics.

Sorry to dissapoint you and the few other curious ones, this was some 10 years ago and such details such as name of the company have fell of from my overfilled brain long ago. While the person who told me the story is a reputable fellow I must admit they still are a secondhand source. Being a finn I tend to trust people and take their word on it and, hence, do not recall doing my research to factcheck.

Still, it _is_ a good story, and plausible based on what I saw to be the state of the industry back then. Your run of the mill last-mile courier services were really badly organized, from the mathematics and optimization side as simple as they get, and ability to build a robust optimization transportation management system would've given serious competitive edge.

Which would be true if it's the case.

> I'm not sure what they were hoping would happen. They forced me to create an account I didn't want and had no use for, and then they shut it down for fraud when I didn't use it. OK?

If that's all it was, then I'd just create throwaway accounts all day long.

But the writing is on the wall. Microsoft wants to associate the software you write with a Microsoft account. It builds "trust" and "legitimacy" when they can "verify" that the software being deployed into the Microsoft store (or elsewhere) was created with a specific developer with an associated Microsoft account. Data mine your git repository and associate your commit metadata (eg; name, email, etc) with other products just as they do already on GitHub. Give you extra benefits (free hosting! remove advertisements! gain extra visibility to recruiters!) if you write software that's popular, and especially if it's only available on Windows; or penalize you (you don't "qualify" for free hosting; it costs $ to remove advertisements from your app; your app has fewer enablements; your LinkedIn profile is less-visible to recruiters; etc) if you write software for other platforms (Linux, macOS, iOS, etc)...

I guess said much simpler: you see the Embrace part by Microsoft's actions. I see the Extend and Extinguish part being enabled by those actions.

But COBOL doesn't have a date type.

The advantage of OKLCH is not that it produces better colors, it's that you can vary a color reliably.

They sold HSL to us as a way to vary the hue easily in a way that's not possible with #000000 without manually computing it first. The reality is that the hue parameter in HSL also considerably changes the luminosity of the color.

The tool you linked only demonstrates that OKLCH can also display colors that rgb() can't, but most of them are the same.
It's like relying on a GPS to go everywhere you need. You will quickly find out you don't know to go anywhere by yourself.

> Which would suggest any solution with a positive time direction can have a negative time direction, just as easily. Is this widely assumed to be true, or at least physically meaningful?

It's widely assumed to be true and not at all physically meaningful. If you sub x -> -x then that's just as good a solution as well, i.e. just as you can count x as running from west to east or east to west and the results will be the same, you can also count time as increasing away from the big bang or as decreasing away from the big bang and all your calculations will be the same.
But of course the motivator wasn't actually to "finance private ventures", it was to rent seek and to speculate about making profit by being first to be in on the thing.
Colour blindness (to take a single issue) is commonly quoted at about 4.5% globally (exact percentage varies by ethnicity so it varies by country). Your "0.5%" figure wildly underestimates the issue IMO.

I agree that local settings should override. But lets start with something legible and override with finely-graduated pastels, not the other way around (as part of a wider push towards good UX defaults).

Your quote disproves you. That explanation does not address the point of who pays. It addresses what point 4 is actually about, multiple people sharing a number, which is not happening here.
