I felt this when I, an avid chess player, surveyed friends and fewer than half knew who Bobby Fischer was.

“ Notably, it appears that the safe withdrawal rate does not decline further as the time horizon extends beyond 40-45 years (given the limited research available); the 3.5% effectively forms a safe withdrawal rate floor, at least given the (US) data we have available.”

Thank you!

Thank you!

Are there any resources summarizing the differences between…

- CalyxOS

- Purism, Librem

- microG

- /e/

- LineageOS

- LineageOS for microG

- GrapheneOS

And I’m sure many other Android open source/degooglers?

The link just says they can’t help with technical issues, not donation issues. You can also use a virtual card https://privacy.com/ that you can cancel when you want.

I don’t see where in the first quotation it says that the scanning takes place after iCloud upload. It just says monitoring.

The article uses the words legal tender and says “ The new law means every business must accept Bitcoin as legal tender for goods or services, unless it is unable to provide the technology needed to do the transaction.”

I feel there is room in the middle. While we should not leave ethics at the door, not every ethical issue is applicable to work (as I’m sure you would agree.)

So while it might be relevant to discuss “woke” issues like discrimination on group characteristics at work because that’s an issue that could manifest itself at work, I don’t think it’s relevant to call for a statement about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by Google, as is suggested in the article.

Open-minded to contrary opinions though.

That’s why I wish car manufacturers would affix big metal spikes to the front of cars for the aesthetic value. After all, they’d be blameless for any casualties.

As a counterpoint the Nikkei has not since surpassed its peak value in 1989.

That which is natural is good. N is natural. Therefore, N is good or right.

Premise 1 is lacking.

The vast majority of people don’t have neighbors who lovingly raise cattle for slaughter.

I think the analogy falls apart because clearly trying to appear secure isn’t deterring Russia/China from hacking US infrastructure.

Interested to hear you say KN95 masks are much worse than N95. Aren’t they the same specification? Assuming of course you can find a legitimate non-counterfeit one on the FDA/CDC list.

As someone who knows nothing about this space, is there a reason GPU manufacturers don’t increase their prices so they get the extra money that is now going to scalpers, and then reinvest that into manufacturing so they can increase supply and then lower prices back to current levels but with stock?

Agree, but substituting multi-account containers with temporary containers https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con...

I’m not sure that’s true: https://mobile.twitter.com/justinjm1/status/1347174957613199...

Reminds me of the crazy lightweight Richard Mille watches that are absurdly expensive but undeniably high-quality.

Awesome. If people are interested in this, I highly recommend checking out the nonprofit Good Food Institute at https://gfi.org/

There’s hope yet: “The reduction in child poverty would be larger still, from 13.7 percent to 3.6 percent. Only about a quarter as many children would remain in poverty after the policy package’s adoption.”

> The real question is not, "Is this allowed?" but "Is this good, right, and proper?”

I guess I’d say that the real question is kind of in-between those two. We need to permit somethings to be allowed, which are not good, right, and proper.

Yes, good point. The different services offered might have different implications.

I agree, I didn’t mean to give Twitter as a completely analogous example, there are definitely differences that arise from the different services offered

I think WordPress as a private company can refuse service to whomever they like. There’s a big difference between a company not selling you something versus the government censoring you.

The complicating issue is that we are ceding more and more control of our public spaces to private companies. So, on one hand, a place like Twitter should be able to ban whomever they want, while on the other hand, at what point does not having access to Twitter represent a de facto censorship of public speech? I don’t think we’re there yet (or really all that close), but we’re headed in that direction.
