so a company like Apple with billions of dollars doesn't owe 5% of their holdings to the state, just the less than 300 individual billionaires that live in the state.
I feel like I need to spell out the math.
300 * 1,000,000,000 = 300,000,000,000
300,000,000 * 5% = 15,000,000,000
That's all CA will get from the one time tax "from Apple". Just 15 Billion Dollars.
Agreed. My Dad was a surgeon too but one thing has become blatantly obvious just from the experiences of family members in 2 states in the U.S.. 1) Nurse practitioners tend to be the front line, not doctors, and 2) there is an extremely significant disparity between the diagnostic quality and offered outcomes when you compare one of the absolute top doctors in his field who handles a given type of surgery repeatedly, to basically anyone else.
If robots can in any way safely and reliably assist so that the knowledge and efforts of doctors with the best experience can be spread more widely that would have a massive impact. Also, surgical techniques have advanced massively in the past 20 years, and robots are here to stay in that area.
Ubiquiti's Firewall rules have a 'simple' interface and a more detailed interface.' The Simple Interface lets me select 1 or more "apps", from quite a long list, along with a search mechanism. I'm -guessing- that might be tied to ASN. The more detailed interface allows me to choose from "Any", "App", "IP", "Domain", "Region" and port ("Any", "Specific", "List"). Again, the same list of "App".
That strikes me as the appropriate level of abstraction for someone who is not a network guru, but who has basic understanding of IP addressing, etc.
That's -1-. Let me rephrase: How many commercial products support this? Does pfSense? I spent some time on my Dream Machine interface looking at the Firewall rules. Seems they use this in the background, but I don't see a way to explicitly use ASN. And a Dream Machine is not exactly a 'cheap home router'.
This strikes me is a great capability. But if you have to 'roll your own', it's not going to be suitable for The Masses. And of course, someone who can and would roll their own router would also probably know other ways to accomplish this.
Hmmm... How many (home) routers/firewalls support blocking by ASN This does strike me as a useful feature, now that I've looked at it a bit.
BUT Meta also tracks people who have never had an account with them, on the off chance "they might later opt-in". See https://cyberguy.com/security/...
So the original poster's question is legitimate, especially for those who have never opted-in to any Meta product.
I guess it's all subject to interpretation. But to me, a true knock-off is defined as a product trying to trick someone into thinking it's one made by a name-brand manufacturer -- doing its best to copy-cat the original.
What I see on Amazon constantly are Chinese-made products that have no real equivalent I can find with brand-name alternatives, but they all like to use those "gibberish" names made of random letters. And in most cases? The exact same product, or a very slightly altered variant, is sold under multiple "gibberish" names. Pretty sure a lot of these come from the same Chinese factory but they market it under various brands to improve visibility and to pump up sales numbers?
Just one recent example would be one of the "power bank" type charges for your mobile devices that has built-in cables to work with USB-C, Lightning, Micro USB and then standard USB: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CF...
Whoever VRURC is, I'm sure it's just another nonsense alphabetic name
I just have to chime in here. My drop-out paper - back around '91 - was titled "Shovels & Society". It was the final for my Computers and Society class - which I did not think much of. The TA was great, though.
After a few weeks in the class, the TA asked our group how many of us were in this because we enjoy programming. I raised my hand. I was it. I decided I was no longer in the right place.
Anyway, my brief argument was that computer/software advances were a lot like those of the shovel -> bulldozer, etc. Just like every other advance, ever. People would lose jobs like they always had, etc. It was supposed to be 15 pages - but I just wrote 3. I feel bad for my TA - she was so disappointed.
I've been happily programming ever since (and before). I'd learned everything I was gonna for compsci anyway.
But holy crap. AI. The shit I can get done now. I feel like there is no way I could get another programming job - between AI and Agism.
Nice. This is where in a nice fantasy world Slashdot could hire a journalist to actually find that guy and ask "so tell our technical audience about the AI part, sounds cool!". The followup can be a repost a few days later.. Maybe better to invite them to reddit.
against Sharia
Yeah. But is the legal system of the Kingdom of Morocco explicitly derived from/dependent on Sharia, and with whose interpretations of same?
My sense from visiting Morocco was that it was not a strict Sharia legal system, but I do not know their legal system.
They all worked for the police department in Casablanca, Morocco.... (With apologies to the current Casablanca Police Department...)
Thunderbird? Something else?
(And anyone out there still miss Eudora?)
According to a friend who understands the math, category theory is quite useful for dimensions. There is an interesting article that argues for a Standard Unit for value: https://www.iqiipi.com/the-eig... I don't know who this (anonymous) author is, but all of the essays on this website are VERY insightful. (I particularly like the one on Agile and the one on 'bugs'. The one on Ada has a few minor errors, but generally gets it very right.)
Too bad there's not a moderation category of "+1 both Insightful and Funny". But yeah, someone please mod parent up.
Thanks! Iâ(TM)m good at walking while reading so even without a aut and stand desk which is pretty expensive (my info is old though) I could see walking with a tablet indoors then.
Do you guys know what you're doing, or are you just hacking?
