Aside from primary home ownership, do wealthy individuals generally borrow money in order to invest it? My financial advisors have never suggested such a strategy.
Yes, we have all heard this before, many, many times. The connection not being made here is why it is that a newspaper is obliged to care about this.
I suspect it's mostly field manuals and exported references.

With older systems, it's easier to get hands on those as they've been exported to so many places around the world. I know DCS for example has had trouble getting their hands on manuals for current Russian equipment (there's explicit laws on it that's hampered a lot of their development there), but for older systems, there's a lot you can find outside the country of origin.
Complaining about grammar and using "their" instead of the correct "there"...

Yeah, I've got to know Nick Land from Mark Fisher, who was a student of his and jointly participated in the CCRU (Cybernetics Culture Research Unit). Mark Fisher was the one who later wrote his most well-known book "Capitalist Realism", which was my first thorough introduction to leftist politics. Fisher would later decry Land's neo-reactionary turn (perhaps most explicitly in his post "Terminator vs Avator: notes on accelerationism", https://markfisherreblog.tumblr.com/post/32522465887/termina...), but he still acknowledged Land's accelerationist influence on him in the earlier years.

Land's history is... very interesting. His earlier works (such as "Kant, Capital, and the Prohibition of Incest") shows his materialist roots, but over time he began to be influenced heavily by the CCRU (which cyberfeminist Sadie Plant created) and Deleuze and Guatarri's works on schizoanalysis, along with a heavy doze of amphetamines(!). In his most productive, drug-fueled form he wrote what he called "theory-fiction", Deleuzian theory combined with fiction (cyberpunk, horror), leading to writings such as "Circitries" and "Meltdown". Land might have been overappreciated in the creation of accelerationist philosophy, but I still think he was an incredible poet. Sadly, his overreliance on drugs literally "broke" him, and after some physical/mental health issues he moved to Shanghai and after that became the neo-reactionary we know today. I think it's a quite lame ending to his philosophy career, many of his collegues tried to persuade him to budge towards the left and failed, and Land himself says that he wants to leave behind his amphetamine-fueled past self.
Also, props to the primary developer Lucas, who directly replied to my questions within a day, twice
Are you claiming there's some wealthy Vegan lobby that's paying scientists blame meat for health problems? You really think that vegan food producers are more powerful than the meat and dairy industries?

Hi!

Author of NGS here. TL;DR about NGS:

* NGS is programming language first, as opposed to most (or all?) alternatives. A language designed specifically for Ops. In practice it means geared towards particular use cases - https://github.com/ngs-lang/ngs/wiki/Use-Cases .

* Your day-to-day pain factored out: how many times you are supposed to define warn(), die(), log(), retry() and what not?

* The language is in OK shape, we use it at work.

* The work on the shell (CLI) is just starting. The shell will be in NGS language itself.

... and you are all welcome to the NGS meetup (on Tuesday, May 4, 2021
6:30 PM to 8:00 PM GMT+3) - https://www.meetup.com/lifemichael/events/275961221/
Did you guys perhaps benchmark kdb vs. Vertica?
Another annoyance is seconds since epoch (traditional Unix) vs milliseconds since epoch (e.g. Java).

> And anyway, most of the time it's photons that escape, and they are not matter or anti matter.

If memory serves, a photon is its own anti-particle though, right?
So in other words the author isn't used to boost::bind and stl algorithms and complains that he doesn't understand code written with both?

First of all today you would rather use a lambda which is easier to understand.

The advantage of the second code is that it's generic and less error prone. You can't get the loop wrong. You can change the addition by any operation very easily, and the compiler will complain when you get things wrong.

fyi, the same code written with a lambda:

int Dice::total() const {
return std::accumulate(
dice.begin(),
dice.end(),
0,
[&](size_t v, const Die & d) -> size_t { return v + d.faceValue(); });
);
}

For more information about why the second version is better, I advise the book "Elements of programming".

ps: the spelling error introduced by the author prevents the code from compiling, so the argument doesn't hold
He makes that argument in several other blog posts, and the argument is that the cost of doctors and hospitals is so high that the entire thing could be allocated to other initiatives with better overall outcomes.

I think its actually a better argument than this one.
I am a happy RVM user. It's had a few quirks, but the maintainer is quick to fix things -- mainly before you even have a chance to file a bug. Definitely worth using even if you're just curious about alternate Ruby implementations like Rubinius, MacRuby, or IronRuby.

The reason that it comes up a lot is because it's not that small of a part.

Before I met her, my wife went to the hospital with severe pneumonia. She was there for over a week, partially due to a surgical error by the hospital. During this time she was fired because she ran out of sick days. This cancelled her insurance. The hospital then charged her $30,000 for a bunch of procedures that she never had the chance to see a price for on account of being unconscious most of the time. She went to the billing department and mentioned that she was now unemployed and without insurance. She offered to pay what she could, but they calculated that they could make more selling the debt to a collection agency, who is still asking us for the full $30k.

Now that I've calmed down a little, I want to say that you are right that 90% of healthcare spending can be handled in a reasonable way. Prescription drugs, birth control, check-ups, and routine treatments could certainly be handled better. However, the reason that the other scenario comes up so often is that the remaining 10% can be completely catastrophic.

Why land though? When you're talking this sort of money for the cargo, just drop the drugs and crash the thing, and write the airframe off as an expense.
Maybe I'm just neurotic and work is getting to me, but the tone of the article felt oddly erotic to me...
> Oh for goodness sake...

If you are using this expression to express frustration, exasperation, annoyance[1] - say so explicitly, I'll stop right here. My experience indicates that when people are frustrated at any point during a conversation involving strongly held personal beliefs, it is best to let sleeping dogs lie, as that is usually the best for both the parties.

>> SM is indeed that proof -- she is admirably surviving without fear, and being mostly happy at it as well.
> When a nuclear power plant nearly melts down, there are two possible reactions.
> One is to infer that the plant design is less safe that calculated, and reason accordingly.
> The other is to say, 'hey, the plant almost melted down but it didn't actually melt down!
> Nuclear power plants must be really safe! This is great!'
> Which do you think you are doing?

So that is your third attempt to counter? Be that as it may, SM admirably surviving those four incidents is nothing at all like your analogy; there is no nuclear plant to nearly melt down (she actually survived those four incidents). What I'm doing, then, is to point out that she actually survived (despite the lack of fear), and on top of that, I'm saying that fear is overrated. You are saying that fear is a gift, and I requested for those people you think actually needed fear to survive. Even if you could not provide citations, could you at least provide reasonable situations where a normal person would need the instinctual reaction of fear to survive in modern times?

> (In statistical terminology, we are dealing with heavily censored data: deaths are not recorded because of the rarity of the disorder, and we have a filtered distribution of only the datapoints/people still functional enough to have survived at all. If one of the uncensored datapoints, or the only datapoint, is an extreme outlier on a variable, such as experienced violence, that implies the whole distribution will be as or more extreme outliers.)

There are only 400 reported cases of the Urbach–Wiethe disease (what you refer to as the disorder). And only some of the 50–75% of thoses case affect the amygdala (which is associated with fear). Even that subset doesn't necessarily experience a complete a loss of fear as SM did. So it is not just about deaths not being recorded. It may very well be that SM is the only patient with complete loss of fear, out of all those patients with Urbach–Wiethe disease. Indeed many patients actually suffer mood, anxiety and psychotic disorders (hardly an indication of lack of fear). To summarize, it makes no sense to use the dataset -- censored or not -- of people with Urbach–Wiethe disease, as not all of them experience complete lack of fear. Even if there are patients other than SM with complete lack of fear, we do not know the cause of their death to make any conclusion as to their lack of fear being the cause of their death (such as to continue treating fear as a gift, appreciated or not).
The attacker would have to steal the password and SMSjack someone; that’s a fairly tall order (maybe feasible for targeted attacks, but it should be sufficient to thwart opportunistic attacks.)
The problem is that many sites allow password resets with the SMS, thus rendering it 1F, as GP said.

Not objectively true, as plants and even rocks grab CO2 out of the air pretty efficiently. From a thermodynamics standpoint, you can burn fossil fuels at 50-70% efficient (50% is not uncommon), and the actual theoretical lower bound of CO2 direct air capture is ~20 kJ/mol,[0] or about 1.7MJ/kg of elemental carbon, compared to 33MJ/kg for burning elemental carbon (same as high grade coal).

(Burning methane is even better as it releases much more energy per unit CO2 i.e. ~860kJ-per-mole-of-CO2 vs anthracite's ~400kJ.)

And as others have said, rocks actually are able to exothermally absorb CO2 permanently. It's possible to speed this up by grinding rocks to a powder, placing in water with a catalyst.

...none of this is to say I support relying on direct air capture and just go ahead and burn fossil fuels. We need to keep that in the ground and transfer the whole civilization to non-fossil fuels, otherwise if some populist jerks wer elected, they could just order the expensive direct air capture program to stop (can't do that if you're already transitioned to clean energy and all your wellheads and drills and coal mining equipment are rusted or melted down for scrap).

Wall street doesn't understand software

Could we stop with the vapid generalities? Obviously some people on Wall Street don't, but that doesn't mean it's universal.

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2008/09/six-year-old-st/

Hmm, a 5 year old story abut a trading mistake caused by human error, where someone didn't realize that an old story was no longer current because of a weakness in Google News's crawling procedure? This has nothing to do with software on wall Street and doesn't support your argument in the least. I think you should go back and reread it.
At the very least, their answer will likely involve a permanent extrajudicial no-fly status as punishment for being insufficiently patriotic.

This can happen as it stands with JS too, though.

While that's true, it's also true that just because the reference is mutable it doesn't mean the developer is stupid enough to pass mutable references between threads without mutexes to prevent the aforementioned race conditions from happening in the first place. Plus Go also has channels which are a thread safe way of message passing.

I'm not taking anything away from Rust but a great many of us have been writing multithreaded code for years before languages like Rust made it safe. These aren't new problem I had to solve. But I'm also not complacent about the risks of multithreaded code and in fact murex's test suite does check for race conditions.
I would love to be a test case on it, I am not in a position.

I'd be extremely interested for a company who doesn't operate in the EUs being brought to court and what other countries are willing to help the EU exercise those judgements if any.
I may, in less experienced earlier years, have bought a needlessly semi-expensive >$1000 mattress. Even then, after sleeping on it for almost 10 years now, it has amortized pretty well. $100 a year isn't really something to worry over much, and saving half of it makes less of a difference than reducing coffee consumption for example. The cost per year still keeps falling.

Even a $2000 mattress wouldn't be a giant expense compared to frequent & more expensive discretionary spending that people casually indulge in, such as new flagship smartphones or desktop CPUs/GPUs after 2-3 years, more than a single streaming video service or (God forbid) a car if bike+transit is a viable choice in your area.

Nowadays I'd go about mattresses a little different, but in the grand scheme of things? Not even a blip.
I wrote a fairly well-received article about my switch. Since I switched, I have been happy with Linode.
We're planning a potluck for July 4th. I tested out your app, and it is pretty much exactly what I needed. Just a few small suggestions:

It needs a date picker so I don't have to figure out what the Friday before July 4th is.

You should add a way to Tweet it or post on Facebook, etc., maybe using AddThis.

Also, is this app just for fun, or are you going to monetize it?
If you want to write an app that you can move between multiple providers or run yourself (ie, it's legitimately portable), and/or want to choose your own SIP carrier, feel free to use Cloudvox [1].

Every app gets a SIP URI that any carrier's phone numbers can route to [2]. Our prices are much lower for third-party SIP calls, since we don't have telecom costs. It's free to sign up, as are local SIP phone calls (like between your SIP phones and your apps).

Apps use PHP-AGI, Adhearsion, Asterisk-Java, or any other Asterisk-compatible client library [3], or there's a HTTP/JSON interface [4].

We're fundamentally a cloud-scale Asterisk hosting service, like Heroku for phone/SMS services, so we aren't trying to get people to marry our API. If we don't do our jobs, take your app with you.

Hi my father is a doctor and I sent him a link to this blog asking if he knew what might be wrong, here's his response:

He has classical chronic fatigue syndrome, on the same continuum as fibromyalgia and 'ME'. The best term is 'syndrome of central sensitisation'. "Gulf war syndrome, yuppie flu etc are all part of the same spectrum. It is akin to phantom limb pain.

The problem lies in the brain, in the area of the brain that processes incoming sensory information before it presents it to consciousness, which is where we all live. Our brains have the capacity to turn up sensation in the short term to help us respond appropriately to a threat: for example people report that in a road traffic accident everything becomes vivid, and time slows down. This normally turns down after the threat passes. If the threat is severe enough, the memory may keep coming back in flashbacks and nightmares, and the person suffers anxiety and panic attacks. This is post-traumatic stress disorder.

Some people develop the syndrome of central sensitisation after a major stress (I had a superfit tree surgeon, a felled tree landed on him but not a branch hurt him, but afterwards he developed severe generalised pain , couldn't sleep and was exhausted. He never worked again).

The more common group are people who have major childhood threats, such as early bereavement, parental violence, bullying , sexual abuse etc. It seems their brains become hard-wired in adolescence to be in a permanent state of this hyper-vigilence. All they need is a 'second hit' later in life, some emotional or physical problem, and the whole process is triggered: central sensitisation ensues as a permanent problem. It's like a radio with the volume turned up too loud: there's nothing wrong with the signal or the radio, but the noise it makes is intolerable.

In fact, sophisticated research tools have demonstrated chemical, electrical, blood flow changes and on functional MRI in sufferer's brains. In fact, there are physical changes to the brain in PTSD, with atrophy of the hippocampus.

Listening to these unfortunate people is fascinating, because it is clear their suffering is so great and real, and it gives us insight into the variety of experiences that human beings endure. A character in The Tempest remarked how beautiful the island was - it is so sweetly perfumed and the waves breaking on the shore make such sweet music - whereas his companion said ' It stinks like a fen.'

Treatment is far from satisfactory, especially for protracted severe cases.

They sell large-scale solutions -- and have invested heavily in *nix.

Off the top of my head I can think of POS systems, hand-held data acquisition devices (car rental, inventory control, etc.), shop-floor control panels, and more.

I think T.I.'s involvement is interesting. Maybe a new TI-100 running linux (IBM) with a beautiful color display (Samsung), and the ability to morph from data acquisition to calculator to communicator to set-top player (ARM based).

In the UK, you can use one of the challenger banks like Starling or Monzo. They not only show you "pretty graphs", but give you spending notifications and keep track of your direct debits, standing orders etc. So I don't see a reason to do this all manually yourself, which can also be error prone.
