I will listen to the piece.

Without saying I agree or disagree, if I take the position that racism in policing doesn't exist, and that the police are treating everyone equally:

America has in prison today almost 0.7% of its entire population. Right now. It is the world's leading jailer on a per-capita basis. [1] Two thirds of private prisons (which lets step back for a second is horrifying as a concept) include minimum occupancy clauses. [2] This is an utter failure of the state in its duty of care to its citizens. To call this a conflict of interest doesn't even begin to do it justice.

The incarceration rate among African Americans is almost 7X that of white folks in America. Criminality and race do not go hand in hand, therefore there exists a real and meaningful problem that is disproportionately affecting a racial group. A social and/or economic problem.

African Americans have way more interaction with police and policing, and even if you believe there's no racial disparity in the way those interactions go down - that instead they're killed and harassed at the same rate as white folks on a per-encounter basis - the fact is they have way, way more encounters per capita. This is likely a function of the society that America has built and fostered.

The reaction and the frustration and the protest is still justified even if you believe that race didn't play a factor in the specific instances, and even if you believe there's no systemic issue with policing.

Now, there's also evidence that there is a difference in how they are treated by police, but I think my argument holds even if you reject that premise.

Signal also writes the encryption that WhatsApp and Duo use.
Signal is owned by a non-profit which cannot be sold to a for-profit like Facebook, Google, or Apple. The WhatsApp founder learned the lessons from the Facebook acquisition and improved almost every aspect when developing Signal.
Rust is what distinguishes this competitor's product. I am not sure how Shitbowl ensures ownership of stored items.

A simple way would be to pick a strategy with a slightly different utility function from Kelly's (which implicitly uses log as the utility function).

The downside of this is that Kelly's utility function has some very nice properties. In particular the total utility of a sequence of bets will turn into a sum which means you can ignore dependencies between events. Note for instance that the argument in this article still holds even if you've got very strong dependencies between coin flips, it could repeat the pattern HTHTH forever and the Kelly criterion would still give the same optimal proportion, though obviously there are better strategies if you don't restrict yourself to blindly betting on heads.
I can assure you that the general population has no idea what half the nouns in that sentence mean, let alone how to do any of that.
The design is vastly different. DOM update logic is more straightforward. We realized that heavy diffing is not needed.

> But I think in economics a circular graph doesn't really make sense, does it?

Leontief functions are a list of what inputs and outputs each technology a country uses as inputs and yields as outputs. So farming a region might require 100 tractors (inputs), of which 95 will be in good condition at the year's end (outputs), and need 50 000 hours of labourer time (input) and yield 10 000 tons of corn (output).

Then a network of trade will usually give you circular graphs: Country A produces corn that is imported by country B to feed its workers. Country B produces iron that is imported by country C as an industrial raw material. Country C produces tractors that are imported by country A for farming.

I think Leontief functions are one of the cooler ideas in economics: they get very close to the empirical data and they allow you to leverage linear algebra effectively. They've been important in some fundamental debates in economics, particularly the Cambridge capital controversy.
If you are starting Haskell, there is a wonderful little function you can use called `interact`, which has a type `(String -> String) -> IO ()`. This takes a String to String function, and turns it into an IO type that reads from STDIN, runs the function, and writes to STDOUT, lazily. Thus, you can just write `main = interact myFunction` and get everything you need to build complex Unix pipeline utilities without needing to worry about any impurity or composition. I suggest you stick to this until you are comfortable with the basic syntax, types, lazyness, and typeclasses of Haskell.

The problem with learning about the monad typeclass first is that it is a very very high level abstraction, and abstractions are near impossible to understand without a working understanding of examples that they might abstract.
I'm not so sure this is a fair comparison. Anything that grows proportionally to its population will grow exponentially, math just says it will, and you can't avoid that. You can look at the bacteria itself and see that bacteria divide, and so, you expect this sort of growth, and so, it mathematically follows.

It just isn't that way for QM, nothing in nature says that systems have to evolve by a hermitian operator on a fock space, we just know that it gives us the right results.

I think part of the issue is that Physicists really care about why, not whether something fits the model.

I'm curious how often the lowest price is > 90% of Amazon's price. (And for that matter, > 80%, 65%, and 50%.)

There's a certain premium I'm willing to pay to have it all handled by one reliable company, as long as they're not charging too much.
Great post! I liked the space monkey banana joke 😂
Downloading 2 web pages at the same time without one blocking another from completing is true parallelism. The request is sent for one, while it is in progress (maybe server is slow), another one can go out and come back with data. This can happen for hundreds or thousands of them. These are executed in parallel. So we got concurrent units of work executed at the same time, I fail to see how that is not parallel.

Now this is IO concurrency but it is real concurrency. Adding CPU concurrency would be very nice. It might speed things up a bit, or it might not. It really depends.

As an example consider haproxy. The little proxy that could. It handles large amounts of concurrent connection in parallel and it is single threaded in its default configuration. I've heard of 100k connections. It deals with IO concurrency. Chances are, making it multi-threaded might not dramatically improve its performance (it might even slow it down).
> what happens to all the thousands we spent on dslr glass...

Well, if you don't wait too long, you can get a lot of it back. I sold my D700 + glass, and made $3300, which I used to buy a lovely OM-D system (12, 20, 25, 45, 75). I use my camera much more now.
That's really not true. Most HFT firms are running strategies which are completely unrelated to anything a day trader would do, and most of the time they're helping you by being market makers rather than competing with you.

If what you said was true, no bank or hedge fund would run a trading desk. HFT captures just a slice of overall trading profits.
It's usually possible to sidestep the python limitations with a bit of elbow-grease. The usual killer for performance is tf. py_function, which does indeed have to respect the GIL. If you can work out a nice way to handle your data without it, it should be able to stick to cpp in the backend and avoid the GIL. (So, data in a format that tf has a parser for, and write transformations using tf methods where you can.)
Diagnosis is helpful in solving the problem.

It's also not uncommon to ask questions purely out of intellectual curiosity.
The "find . -print | sed -e 's;[^/]*/;|____;g;s;____|; |;g'" is a bad joke. Heck, it's better to just tell them to `brew install mc` and use `mc` afterwards (or `exa` or whatever else). I usually just type `open .` and do the rest in Finder, although this admittedly breaks the command line workflow.

No matter how fast you can type, typing this clusterf*ck of a command isn't faster than using a better utility (command line or GUI). And I assume complete beginners (which the page seems to be for) don't know how to set up shell aliases just yet.
Trans women are subjected to sexual violence from men in the same way that cis women are. They need to be protected from male violence.

All women in prison are at risk of sexual violence. That comes from other prisoners (including cis women), and from officers.

Focussing attention on the small number of trans prisoners, and ignoring the risk from cis prisoners and from staff, means that women will continue to be at risk of sexual violence.
The first think you might need to fix is your sleep, second is your environment and your eating habits / patterns.

You can only tackle motivation issues when you're not feeling bad.

My trick is to imagine the end-result of what I am currently working on, it pushes me to get the reward of seeing it finished.

Of course it works only if I expect to be proud of the result.
There is something like Gooey [1] that you can put to your own applications. I think it is technically possible to use Gooey to wrap existing applications, but not sure about the automation.

we torture and kill so many more animals to eat meat and dairy, than we do to conduct science.

While I share your view, I think it's important to point out that this really isn't the best place to start if you want to reduce animal suffering.
Yep. In 2018 I tried to run Linux on a 2016 MacBook Pro, and it was a pain. The keyboard/touchpad weren't supported without an out-of-tree driver, and audio and suspend-to-RAM didn't work at all. I hear things are better with that model now (I gave up in 2019 and got a Dell XPS13): keyboard/touchpad driver has been upstreamed and I believe there are patches to get audio working, but I don't know about suspend.

> In terms of relational databases, Galera Cluster’s group replication is also imperfect, but closer to the ideal.

As a longtime Galera user, I have to admit this "closer to the ideal" has nothing in common with reality. It fails, it loses data, quorum kills healthy nodes, transactions add significant latency. The more nodes you have, the lower performance and fault tolerance. One mysql node could literally endure triple of load, which could be deadly for Galera cluster of 3 nodes. Also, it rollbacks transactions silently.
It is a pity that I don't have any karma, I would have downvoted this thing for sure...
That was the worry and it is indeed the case. However, as demonstrated in the video, the interference wasn't as bad as expected.
We are at SelfServeApps and it's awesome. Not only is ES5 a decent language but our stack is incredibly simple (great when you don't have a sysadmin). We install node on a frontend server and run our app, that's it. It talks to our backend (Riak) over http.

edit: We have a thick client using Cappuccino and we talk to our Node web service using JSON. The only templating on the server is for a few HTML emails, password reset page, and the email verification landing page.
you're wrong, they all rich! rich! richer than astronauts!!!
You can not blame all on United State. May somebody else behind this.
The only thing that comes to mind is its not immediately obvious when source diving when a piece of code has been refined or redefined.

IMO, this is the justified cost of flexibility provided by monkey-patching.
Well, although you didn't have any preconceptions, seems like you confronted them anyway.
If we re-framed this as "California Hall of Records selling property purchase records for an administrative fee" would folks have the same reaction?

Is the problem here that they are selling DMV records related to authorization to drive a car (public records) or that in order to exist you need an identification and therefore regardless of whether you own a car you have to deal with the DMV?

I would argue it is the latter. Defacto sale of one's identity that is required by the state to interact with it.

Outside of that record, I have no problem with public records being available to the public provided the fee structure is not causing corruption / capture (causing prices to inflate unreasonably) and data is being provided to everyone at the same rate.

There is a 20 MB per file limit, so it doesn't work for very large files. Also, if your bandwidth starts becoming a problem, I guess I'll have a chat with you? I can't really say at this point.
You'd think there would be money in that, too. Set 'em up at a Starbucks, or a bowling alley, and get kickbacks from the venue. I bet romantic restaurants would pay a pretty penny to get the attention of a man trying to impress a woman -- especially if he told the app that he was willing to spend $200 on a date.

Sounds like a pain in the ass to implement, and you'd get all kinds of accusations of corruption, but they get that anyway.
I'm not talking about that.

I just find it crazy that in the scenario where Uber pays someone poor $8/h while I pay them 0$/h, Uber is the bad guy, while I am completely blameless.

The only actor actually paying the poor person is somehow the problem!

It's hard for me to come up with a logical framework that supports that conclusion. So I think it's not actually a matter of logic.
feedback: overall i like what you're building.

I like that you've put personality into the marketing material, but i think you've pushed that a bit too far. It feels hostile towards other services. While i don't disagree with your logic I _also_ don't like tying myself to hostile feeling services, even if the hostility isn't directed at me.

To me the "because I'm a great guy" feels self aggrandizing and egotistical instead of funny.

[edit] and yup, i agree with another poster about the commentary on the money page being a total turn-off.

I'm VERY happy to pay for good services with a sustainable business model. The "personality" on this site has completely turned me off and made me not only not want to have anything to do with it, but also to be sure to not support future sites from the same creator.
In the long term "laws" won't work. What we see throughout history is that they never work and those who are elected to see to it that it works themselves are corrupt.

The best option is to code it in the technology. For example, we can make laws and regulation to see to it that governments don't take more debt or print more money than they should in order not to cause inflation and economic crisis, but what we've seen throughout history is that this never works in the long term.

The better solution was the one Satoshi came up with: program the fixed amount of currency into the Bitcoin technology with computational and mathematical checks. Now it's extremely difficult to do anything else unless you can somehow control or convince the majority of the nodes to accept it.

The same kind of solutions should be developed for the web.
Buying a house doesn't negatively impact your net worth, even if you owe money to the bank, unless your home value nose-dives for some reason (eg recession/depression).

Here's an example:

Let's say today you have $100,000 cash in your bank account and no other assets to your name.

Your net worth is $100,000.

--

Now let's say that you buy a house tomorrow for $500,000. You put 20% down ($100,000) and secure a loan from the bank for the final $400,000. Here's your new net worth:

Asset: House $500,000

Debt: Loan ($400,000)

--

Total: $100,000

You've probably got the technical skills to work for one of these firms - but have you thought about in what capacity? When you interview you'll need to be pretty clued-up about what you want to do. Trading? Quant? Research? Strategy? And in what asset class(es)? To be a successful applicant you'll need to demonstrate a genuine enthusiasm and knowledge for trading/markets/pricing/modelling/risk (delete as appropriate).

Getting in to these places is not easy, and working for them is harder. You can do well, but those that do spectacularly well really make a lot of money for their employer. You don't get paid a million bucks just for putting in your 60 hours a week. You need to make 10 or 20 times this for your employee - and it's not easy. In fact it's very, very hard.
Do you have a template that you start with?
Never said anything about abolishing money or supply and demand. Supply and demand would continue to exist.

Speaking about pretentious articles and misleading titles! I was expecting some sort of analysis on how the apps market is saturated and market entrance is hard but what I got is filler. Someone downloaded a few apps, used them, wrote cheesy reviews and published his experience on the nytimes of all places.

Well, great.
it seems like "terrorist" just means "bad"

That is scientific evidence for the existence of racism people.

To be real scientists, and rational, we must be willing to admit what the evidence says, even if it makes us uncomfortabl. Creationists think evolution means their religion is wrong, so they fight the evidence. People don't like to think they act racist, so fight the evidence.
Thank you. I read the article in some detail, I didn't read the author's name. The author's gender is not evident from the text of the item.

For what it's worth, I found your comment somewhat snarky.
>What's the problem with keeping the accent? Why do you think an accent hinders you?

In my experience, it does, in most social contexts, and also in job interviews, as some interviewers don't feel it would be as easy for me to integrate to the rest of the team, which is true to some extent. These may all be exceptions but it's a big indicator in my opinion.

>And which language and universal accent should the world switch to?

I think any language known to me would do. When the time comes and people feel ready to accept the idea of one language (looking at the replies I got, it's not gonna happen), we'll discuss it.
Well we are currently suffering a mini economic collapse. We've lost about 5% of GDP and counting.

There are food shortages (no brocoli, a lot of tropical fruit is gone) just not "we are hungry" shortages.

There are also shortages of other things. I had to wait 8 weeks for a stove because it was stuck in port. My housemates bike is 8 weeks and counting and no sign of that yet.

I don't know about the more far fetched predictions but I'd say the remain campaign is looking about 80% correct and the leave campaign -80% correct...

It should probably be noted as well that predictions of the UKs total collapse were always a small fringe of the remain campaign. Predictions of the EUs collapse were central and mainstream in the leave campaign. Its actually still being predicted now by them!?

> My simple policy will be stand against any usage of this language feature in any code I write or contribute to.

Dude, you're just like me! I have the same attitude towards f-strings ;-). Except I know that I will use them sooner or later. But I'm not in hurry. You maybe won't believe, but I found a use even for ":=" operator.

> So far this is the only time in all your posts in this thread that I've seen you give one reasonable argument.

Oh, you're so kind to me!

> You seem less interested in learning what people outside of python-list actually care about or want and more interested in explaining why python-list's position is right.

I'm a flexible guy. On Python lists, I'm argue against f-strings, assignment operators, and about deficiencies in proposed pattern matching. On interwebs with guys like you, I'm arguing trying to help them see the other side. And no worries, your opinion is very important to me.
Please read the article more carefully. The article assumes the reader knows what NaCL is and does not explain it, but it's easy to infer he doesn't talk about the Google native client technology, but about something else.

Haha this is the business model for every project I've ever worked on in Tech is.

Hire low paid developers to 'save money' at the start.

Low paid developers present working prototypes that aren't scalable or maintainable but the biz people don't know that ,they just see working demos.

Years later the app is a nightmare and the low paid devs have moved on and now they have to pay out the nose to get people to actually work on their stuff.

And so it goes.
It’s certainly true. Our oldest kid had a quite flat head when he was an infant, so we had to get him a special pillow and was advised to try to let him sleep on the side. But it’s nothing that you think about except when you put your hand on the back of his head, and most of it will allegedly disappear when the scull grows.
