Forever 23: The Rapid Rise and Sudden Disappearance of Velva Darling
Fundamentally, the problem with loan writers unloading the loans is that it decouples their incentives. You end up with a fundamentally unstable system, where the loan writers are incentivized to further increase the spread between what the loans say and what the collateral or debtor is capable of, while offloading their liability so that it's evenly spread among the entire financial system.

It doesn't matter that it makes loans more accessible (in fact to some degree that's part of the problem); it doesn't matter that it makes the market more efficient when the market is up. The decoupled incentives make the system prone to extremely painful crashes that are unfair to everyone.

Yep, society can do that. German society once said "kill all the Jews" and the rest of society said "No."

We, collectively, hold society accountable for it's actions. We're not always right, society is not always wrong. There are laws and rules that govern society, not all of them stated, and they can take a lifetime to learn.

Way I see it, Luckey just got a lesson in the rules. You probably shouldn't worry - he's a billionaire. That's more than most people have when they get a sudden, harsh schooling.

SQLite is quite possibly one of the most useful pieces of software ever created. It's small, relatively fast, and unbelivably solid. It's up there with bash, curl, grep, emacs, and nano: tools that are just so good at their job that we don't even notice how amazing they are.

I mean, really. SQLite is remarkable, impressive, and used everywhere, and we never talk about it. Emacs is a remarkably impressive piece of engineering, bash is the world's default shell for a reason, Nano is the newbie's text edior, and, well, just imagine for a second what would happen if grep or curl stopped working.

In Bing, it's used to score results for queries: "One of these FPGA nodes did the Bing search scoring for a 48-node server pod, and was linked to the nodes by four 10 Gb/sec Ethernet ports." http://www.enterprisetech.com/2014/09/03/microsoft-using-fpg...

Here's a paper about it: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/...

4.4, Feature Extraction: "The first stage of the scoring acceleration pipeline, Feature
Extraction (FE), calculates numeric scores for a variety of “features”
based on the query and document combination. There
are potentially thousands of unique features calculated for
each document, as each feature calculation produces a result
for every stream in the request—furthermore, some features
produce a result per query term as well. Our FPGA accelerator
offers a significant advantage over software because each of
the feature extraction engines can run in parallel, working on
the same input stream. This is effectively a form of Multiple
Instruction Single Data (MISD) computation."

I'm sure if you posted the EXPLAIN here, someone might be able to figure out why it did that. Were you able to test the exact same query on a different database?
> Do people agree with this?

I don't. I've corrupted SQLite DBs enough to not have warm and fuzzy feelings about it like I used to have.

I think it's only a good choice when you just need a database for your app that will barely be using it, and if you didn't use it you'd be writing to a file instead. And, that's basically what the SQLite docs say.

However, even then, I think it can be short-sighted. I've used webapps before that used SQLite and I thought to myself: if they'd only used MySQL or PostgreSQL and then provided access to it, I could have used it.

Be aware though, if you decide to use a scalable DB like PostgreSQL, it will require a port to be open for the DB, even if only locally. If you're trying to minimize how people can access your data, you don't want a port open/an extra port open, and you're not going to hit it very hard, SQLite's probably your best choice.

Google Car: Sense and Money Impasse
I'm 28 and have severe hypochondria, so this article was a terrifying read. Having a stroke is my #1 fear. But reading it makes me feel good about having shifted my attitude to work after I got married. I don't think I'll ever be the workaholic that I was in my early 20s, because my priorities have shifted so much after getting married and I've become especially frightened of the idea of stressing myself out to the point of suffering something like a stroke. The last thing I want in my life is to burden my wife with having to take care of a disabled me.

In fact, I don't think it's only work that can lead to bad health issues caused by stress. I have my whole routine designed to have a low stress life. I avoid bringing in anything into my life that might be a major source of stress. I keep everything as simple as possible.

On the symptoms side of things though, I now have to go to the doctor. Again. Reading about the buzzing in the right eye and the tingling was terrifying because I've been feeling something similar for the past few months. So onto my 4th brain scan in the past few years... Sigh. Hypochondria is a bitch.

Is getting the 2 day shipping a function of just price of the item or something else?

I wonder because the most direct competitor

https://www.amazon.com/HyperFido-K5-FIDO-U2F-Security/dp/B00...

gets the 2 day shipping and is only a few $'s more.

The difference between $8-10 is nothing really, if I was shopping for one of these and saw yours for the same price I would buy it because I like the exposed/no case design (and I think a lot of the "early adopter" people buying these tokens for personal use would be the same). So maybe you should bump the price up a bit.
>Altera strikes me as an odd choice though. I'd have thought Intel would buy out Xilinx, the industry leader, instead.

Intel had been fabbing (some of?) Altera's chips for a few years before the acquisition, so from this angle it makes more sense than Xilinx. As to why Altera had this partnership and not Xilinx, who knows. Perhaps being in second place motivates you to shake things up.
Yeah, I'd care about that octopus. I would want to study it and see what else it does.

Sure, I mean intelligent life is interesting to us because it's novel. If there is other intelligent life in the galaxy (universe), it probably implies that intelligent life is relatively common. So, more (less) intelligent life would be extremely inconsequential to them. Why waste resources studying something already well understood?
Unreal would be technically more efficient, as it's backend is closer to the metal than Unity. Unity is good, don't get me wrong, in fact I wrestled with whether to respond, but nevertheless Unreal's rendering is just plain faster, and therefore will make for a more transparent experience for your final product. I am friggin tired, so excuse my non reference laden post, but if you put in 10 minutes worth of ref work, you'll see I'm right.

Best of luck!
Traditionally, no human considers an octopus intelligent unless it can predict soccer results.

Paul aside, we've been ignoring evidence that animals are sentient for centuries now.

So yes - as a general principle, there's a term missing from the Drake equation to cover recognisable similarity, technological equivalence, and mutual interest.

Two civs probably need to be within half a millennium or so of technological development (human time) to have any possibility of communicating.

Considering how old the universe is, it's quite likely civs pass each other by all the time, because larger development differentials aren't visible - literally in one direction, and because of perceived triviality in the other.

Imagine an ant colony in a city, looking for other ant nests, while the city, all the other cities, and the rest of the civ that built the cities can't be imagined by the ants. So even though they're in the middle of a busy civilisation, it's invisible to them.

Definitely true on the web side of things. Bootstrap+React+Angular+jQuery+whatever else, minify, deploy on docker, done.
Of course, "large" is not about the data necessarily, but about the analysis of the data. It sounds like you presented sqlite with a query which would need more than the resources of your computer in order to execute as you specified. This can be really easy to do accidentally on any DB engine with something like a cartesian product.

It is true that sqlite doesn't have as good of a query plan optimizer as larger RDBMSes, and is a little lower-level, but the tradeoff of having the simplicity is that you must understand a little more of the internals to design more complex queries.
Thanks for the link. Yeah, it's as I remember: type affinities will convert to their type if possible, and if not... well, you get out what you put in.

The reason most people don't complain about this is that it's a far from common issue to totally miswrite your SQL statements so badly that you wind up mixing up columns. And when you do, it's usually detected pretty fast.
Google docs, Libreoffice and, VIM. I usually type everything in vim first; I use Ubuntu with I3 on second hand X220. With xterm + vim (and other terminal apps), I have 18 hours battery life. When a browser or Libre kicks in, the battery drops to < 7 immediately. But after that I copy it to docs or Libre and add images, styling etc. Then I usually export to PDF and send. But as doc works fine. When I get documents from others, Libre office works fine. Never had issues so far (and it's been quite a few years).

I'm not among the most people. I don't care about my desktop, and I've migrated away from all the focus on appearance to tiling window managers, currently awesome.

I almost never see my desktop, I just want my windows. I'm not a "the mouse is evil, twm's are efficient," I just got fed up with all the focus on the desktop. I don't care, I just want to do my work.

Polio: http://www.plosin.com/beatbegins/projects/sokol.html Mortality wasn't the big concern with polio, it was the debilitating life-long after effects, and the adverse effects of pervasive fear of it.

You want to believe things are worse in America, I can't change your mind. In my own lifetime things have gotten visibly better. My father lived into his 90s, and he'd recount how things have gotten quite a bit better. Sure that's anecdotal, but you can look up statistics, too.

A "bunch of neat stuff" does improve standard of living. I'm almost never bored, for example.
If each fisherman is willing to pay some trivial amount say $3 each year for some service that they find significant value out of than they are happy. Finance seems to often behave like programming where they do it at scale.

When there are 12.3 million fisherman you could argue that the fisherman are indeed being conned into paying for overpriced financial services. But then you get into a question of value. Perhaps it is actually worth $300/year to each fisherman for this service and that is where it started and was only driven down to $3 by competition (and yet still very profitable as it only actually costs say 30cents on average)

It's funny how corporate marketing works. For a long time I used to really love their products and their processes. Maybe it was when they got rid of "don't be evil" but at some point they started turning into just another corporation.

A corporation with a ton of resources and a ton of people's information. Anyway I don't want to go into a rant but lately everything they do even the open source stuff is just to further their agenda and seldom to help the community.
We still rely on stuff like this. For example, just recently GNU Emacs requires modules to export a symbol called PLUGIN_IS_GPL_COMPATIBLE in order to enforce the GPL. Code is law, it seems. You would have to do something like modify and ship Emacs without this requirement as well as your plugin and then try to argue that the combination doesn't violate the GPL, which lawyers like Eben Moglen currently believe would not be viewed favourably by a judge.

Not to contradict others messages here, but to add to them: the argument (made elsewhere) by RISC-V peeps is that Intel etc regularly introduce rather junky instructions that they can and do patent (the mechanism of), merely in order to continue to patent encumber the collective ISA, and so keep the network effect as their purely proprietary possession, long after the truly significant patents have lapsed; since compatibility would now require the new instructions, too. I'm not making that argument, although it may well be correct, I'm pointing to it.
Even as early as 1970, it was clear that like 1950's Russia everyone is the USA was to have a 'dossier', the brilliance of the USA system was that everyone was to type in his own dossier for the Government.

Gates & Balmer knew from day one that they wanted to rule the world, not just an industry. Windows 10 as the everywhere universal operating system. They'll give it away for free just like Android, the money is in information, as in getting the lemming's to type in their dossier, which is sold to governments worldwide.

Sadly I don't see much difference in Linux these days, these pre-bundled Distro's are no different than Windows, you have little control, or knowledge of what is being delivered. You can only 'trust', but what is trust Google from day one said "Don't be Evil", but Google is NSA, so what does it mean? When the devil himself say's Don't Be Evil? Perhaps Evil means Good?

In the context of 'Minority Report', tracking is all, anybody near a crime scene can be instantly marked as a suspect, any cop looking for an easy cash/gold confiscation can easily ID a person walking out of a bank with a large cash withdrawal ( asset forfeiture, aka highway men of the 1800's America ).

Information as always been power, spy's are the most valuable asset in War. Tracking a lemming and knowing his net worth has infinite value to Plutocrats who own and rule the globe.

The USA is a Kleptocracy, a Government owned and ruled by common criminals, having fleeced the USA citizenry to ruin, literally to the bone, they must now internationalize their criminal business to ID every MARK on the globe to be tracked and robbed, raped, murdered, and imprisoned.

These powers has made Bill Gates the richest man on earth, every evil doer on earth has 'invested' in Gates and his dream of domination of all.

We live in interesting times, should be interesting where this all goes.

The ultimate Orwellian society is where everyone plays without objection.

Sure some of you say, "You have nothing to fear, if your not a criminal", but the problem is that if you have an asset then you are somebody's MARK, lawyers make their money off tracking wealthy people, and once you know somebody has a net-worth, getting a judgement is easy.

Carnegie ( steel baron ) once said "Making money is easy, keeping it is hard", Tracking is all about knowing who has something to steal, all great fortunes were made by theft, including Microsoft, as DOS was stolen as well by Gates.
