I lived in Manhattan in April 2020 and specifically know doctors who worked in the ER at Mt. Sinai. I think the vaccine mandates, to the limited extent there were any, were not paternalistic in a way that was unreasonable. I would not say s

> they don't care to step in and impose compassion, so they might as well not exist. Is this not what the store owners did?

One thing that's particularly frustrating about all this is that any conversation with the growing contingency of distrustful people has been made very difficult by what I would call poor, avoidable, and illiberal decisions made by the

Over-engineering and "abstraction hell" are very much not iconoclastic concepts

I stand corrected although using patch this way seems goofy to me.

Regardless of the implementation, claude causes concepts to enter my brain, so it is at least one-way communication. Human brains have mundane implementations as well: chemical signals firing across neural synapses. No magic special sauce,

HTTP can't ensure what happens in the application layer is safe or idempotent. It is up to the developer to ensure that the implications communicated by their api design are in fact true.

Yeah those servers need to be updated anyway to support the new standard Also, anyone using these servers is not currently putting params in GET body because doing so wouldn't work. Those that oversee evolving standards seem to take ex

Technically a put or a patch is also idempotent. The benefits are idempotent and safe (and semantically appropriate). Post (generally) communicates something is changing whereas a query doesn't

I think there are tradeoffs though, and this has been a thorn in my side during technical interviews where you are expected to think out loud because: 1. Sometimes you have a vague sense of the shape of the solution, and ime it can be helpf

The amazon shares weren't liquidated in the divorce. Are you saying the government will receive shares instead of cash?

The last time I looked into this, readium lcp drm wasn't something US publishers were comfortable distributing their titles with, although it seems like this may be changing, which is good insofar as readium is at least open source and

Sure thing. I've actually been working on the spoiler-free resource angle as well. I can book a call to talk. Distribution is the killer problem here though.

You can borrow 1T in cash? From whom?
79.
by nfw2 4mo ago
1. You think Amazon has the market of contractors that build houses locked down? 2. A $1T market cap is not $1T of spendable cash. This is exactly the point I was making that people don't understand the difference.

Revolutionaries often overestimate the appetite in the general populace for revolution. Also I'm not sure guillotines will be able to do much against the killer drones that palmer luckey is making

As someone who has spent a good deal of time trying to build ereader software, eventually I decided to try to deal with the devil and build on top of RMSDK. There is no way to get access to it. I don't mean the licensing cost is prohib

I agree these are partisan and bad developments. It is also unrelated to the question at hand about how to prevent people from gaining over 100m which people have been able to do under the heretofore non-partisan irs

None of these will prevent someone from gaining more than 100M. That is what is under discussion. I am not against more progressive taxes. Which party is the IRS partisan towards? What do you mean by partisan?

I think the deeper issue is a chronic misunderstanding of what wealth is. Most people engage with wealth in the form of usable goods and services. A banana is wealth. A house is wealth. A dollar in my bank account or a share I own is, at th

My question was how do you prevent anyone from having over 100M? No motte and baileys please.

Most things don't behave like pure commodities regardless of anything that can be considered monopolistic.
