You know, you can just do things. Like, laws don’t need to be applied unilaterally. You can, at the same time, tax a 100,000,000 dollar loan, and not tax a 1,000,000 dollar loan.
Kind of like how generally, low income people do not pay much or any income taxes, or how certain products are subject to additional sales taxes.
Don’t mail in voting concepts kind of contradict a lot of these points?
What? I’ve never heard of this. What are those questions?
Trash disposal isn’t free, yea the dog poop is probably a negligent amount, but most people have to explicitly pay for trash disposal, and so filling up other people’s trash cans can either cause an additional financial burden on them, or mean that they can’t effectively dispose of all of their trash.
It looks like in your case, each unit gets a can assigned to it, and service fees and replacements cost the individual directly, additionally, there are fines for trash violations, so having other people put unknown trash in your bins can result in a direct financial burden. I think it’s pretty reasonable to be relatively protective over your trash bin if you are the one that has to pay for service, replacements, and fees.
Reddit was like that 15 years ago.
Cli doesn’t make much sense to me either when the *arr suite has a well documented rest API already.
The bridge just creates imap/smtp servers, so you should be able to add it to thunderbird on Android.
Something to consider is that any given instance can be a bad actor and do whatever the hell they want.
Each person doesn’t need to host everything.
The Internet archive already has torrents that get automatically created, you can right now go and download/seed torrents for some items and you are immediately doing your part in decentralizing the Internet archive.
This article talks about how it’s ambiguous though and provides examples of things that are typically not normal clothing such as overalls and bibs not being deductible.
It’s really not as clear cut as ‘uniform’ and it really boils down to a case by case basis except in the most obvious of cases.
But that is them accepting it.
Why federated and not just regular p2p?
Internet archive already supports torrents.
Sorry 15 years 2010 midterm and forward.
Most states as far as I know, count votes upon receipt, only a few states have to wait until the last day that polls are open.
I’m not asking why the polls are open more than one day, moreso, why everything is consistently referred to as ‘early’ or in other words, why does the media in general encourage people to wait until the deadline?
I’ve voted 'early, in every election I’ve participated in. For as long as I’ve known, which is about to be 4 presidential and all of the elections in between, the polls have always been open for weeks.
That’s approaching 20 years, I don’t think it’s a new concept really at this point.
Right I get that.
But why is it marketed, for lack of a better term as early. Why wouldn’t it be, ‘the polls opens on October 20th, and you can vote late up to November 5th’
TPM isn’t inherently bad, it’s just a way to cryptographically store keys. TPM overall is great as it gives you a very secure way to store things like encryption keys.
You also don’t need TPM to lock down a system. Locked bootloaders have existed for decades and platforms have historically rolled their own encryption modules as they wanted, like your ipad example, or any video game console in the last 20 years, or most mobile phones, etc.
The ‘knows enough to be dangerous’ crowd has been fearmongering about tpm since it’s been introduced, it isn’t some magic bullet for vendor locking, since vendor locking is already achieved.
Building your own cabinets will be monumentally more expensive unless you are an experienced cabinet maker with a bunch of tools already.
2013 was over a decade ago we’ve went through both a housing crisis and record levels of inflation since then.
Well, a lot of stock trading isn’t as simple as just stock picking, buying and selling individual stocks.
Much of the market is made up of derivatives trading, such as options, where you aren’t trading the stock itself, instead you are trading the option to buy the stock.
The value of the option is derived from the value of the underlying asset, but it is not absolutely coupled to it (this is how a lot of the money is made, by finding market inefficiencies and capitalizing on things like slippage, where there is a mismatch in the value of the derivative and it’s underlying)
What the person above is saying is that, when it becomes no longer profitable to trade underlying assets directly, new derivative markets will be invented that trade around other underlying assets.
Think about unregulated Bitcoin trading for example, while contrived, imagine a crypto currency that is coupled with the price of another asset (these exist, like USDcoin) such as a stock, future, option, or something else.
I should add, typically the derivative kind of collapse into the underlying at some point, but in the case of an option, it might be traded 100 times before that happens, during each of those trades the actual asset (e.g. the underlying stock) doesn’t actually change possession, and a given side of the contract may or may not be changing possession. If you write a call option for a 100 shares of Ford you own, you aren’t selling the stock unless the actual call gets assigned and you are required to fulfill the contract, but the ‘buyer’ side of the contract could have been sold 100 times in the meantime.
All this to say, it’s complicated and there are lots of opportunities for shady shit to happen.
