Taxes Rule Everything Around Me

Schools are the place most people experience physical violence in their entire lives.

Most hardware shops don't understand that the software is also the product.

Any links to good third-party apps?

Are there any projects working on open protocols for digital audio distribution? Any chance manufacturers opt into open protocols?

The conflict is so intense because the stakes are so low.

This is the correct interpretation.

Only a true Texan can tell you the difference between "y'all" and "all y'all".

The quiet part is that you will not be able to spend on those necessities when your politics no longer align with the regime.

Total control over money is a guaranteed path to totalitarianism.

Who is "you"?

Protocols > platforms. Nostr will win long-term because it is a protocol.

The best solution to a societal gambling problem is genuine economic growth. Debt fueled "stimulus" mostly finds its way into the hands of the well-connected. Inflation hurts the poor the most, increasing the severity of an already desperate situation. Real economic growth, on the other hand, gives opportunity and hope to the lowest in society (who are more likely to be gambling what they can't afford).

The LLM never goes on strike.

Blame inflation.

If money maintained stable value over the long term, companies could honestly make promises about "lifetime" pricing. These promises were probably made during the "low 2%" inflation of the past, but basic economic understanding would point out that such a plan is doomed.

Better yet, in a deflationary monetary regime, a constant price would net the companies more profit over time. Users would probably clamor for lowered prices on these plans, and companies could advertise "Lifetime pricing plans are now cheaper! You get more for less!"

Marketplaces need a vendor rating and product ratings. When leaving a review, the form could have sections on shipping separate from the product.

Ah, the days when the Internet was fun.

No matter the situation, in America the lawyers always win.

Standard Oil had already lost a huge portion of its market share when the forced breakup finally happened.

Neural networks often have trigonometric functions internally, so it would be massively more computation than necessary.

If you have a few spare CPU cycles, a hybrid approximation could start with a sparse lookup table of values as the initial guess for a few rounds of a numerical approximation technique. Or you just store the first few coefficients of a polynomial approximation (as in the OP's work).

Now we're all part of the discovery :tada:

Have you checked out the L402[0] protocol?

It's basically using the HTTP 402: Payment Required status code and serving up a Lightning Network payment invoice.

Edit to add: it basically solves all of the caveat issues you identified.

Rest in peace to one of the true greats.

My favorite line from Downtown Abby: "What's a week end?"

Open source is a purely voluntary system. So it's not socialist, which requires state coercion to force people to "share."

If cash were invented today, it would be illegal.

Don't forget the internal data pipeline to the security state apparatus in the various FB operating jurisdictions.

figure out how to actually provide healthcare to people who meed it

But what if the proposed solution costs lots of people their jobs?

This is a broader sentiment that can be applied to just about any open source ecosystem. Sometimes the technical debt and legacy install base of an existing project is too great to overcome. Sometimes people want to build a library that duplicates existing work just to see if they can. Sometimes personalities involved just don't mesh.

Seems like Ireland should have to pay the EU
