It already seems to have some nice features, but for me the dream bookmark manager would be something really simple with two commands like:

$ bookmark add http://...

That will:

1. Download a static copy of the webpage in a single HTML file, with a PDF exported copy, that also take care of removing adds and unrelated content from the stored content.

2. Run something like http://smmry.com/ to create a summary of the page in few sentences and store it.

3. Use NLP techniques to extract the principle keywords and use them as tags

And another command like:

$ bookmark search "..."

That will:

* Not use regexp or complicated search pattern, but instead;

* Search in titles, tags, AND page content smartly and interactively, and;

* Sort/filter results smartly by relevance, number of matches, frecency, or anything else useful

Storing everything in a git repository or simple file structure for easy synchronization, bonus point for browsers integrations.
Six questions to ask a startup lawyer before you hire them
There are services like 33mail.com, which I've used for years, which do exactly that. You give a service an email like servicename@chatmasta.33mail.com (or a custom domain, if you're on a paid plan), and then you can block/unblock/track emails per username.
Disclaimer: I know nearly nothing about this stuff.

Almost none of the problems listed there seem to be deal breakers. Most of them seem to be a matter of small improvements that probably aren't the primary focus of research right now.

For example I'd imagine researchers have a fairly steady supply of tritium, they don't need to focus fairly hard on recovering it all, just enough to save on costs since it's pretty expensive. Why bother trying to recover 100% of tritium for a reaction that you can't even get energy positive yet? Trying to make it more efficient when you can't even make it work seems to be putting the cart before the horse.

And that seems to be the case with the fuel, too (at least how described in the article). Once we get the process working with the easy fuels it seems that the next target for research would be using fuels that might be better but harder to work with.

>Corrosion in the heat exchange system, or a breach in the reactor vacuum ducts could result in the release of radioactive tritium into the atmosphere or local water resources. Tritium exchanges with hydrogen to produce tritiated water, which is biologically hazardous.
> Most fission reactors contain trivial amounts of tritium (less than 1 gram) compared with the kilograms in putative fusion reactors. But the release of even tiny amounts of radioactive tritium from fission reactors into groundwater causes public consternation.

He seems to negate his own point by saying that the tritium output is less than a thousandth of what it is in fission. It might not be perfect but that sure sounds like an improvement to me. Even better once they start recovering larger amounts of it (he said himself that they need to recover at least 99% of it).

Also, from my (limited) knowledge of tritium it isn't that dangerous. It is in watches, weapon sights, emergency signs, and many other glow in the dark things. I've researched it before due to having several tritium containing products and it seems that in small amounts it simply vents into the atmosphere and becomes a non issue.

Anyway please correct me if I'm wrong on anything.

Ah, Ian Bogost. Yeah, I'm familiar with him. Professional critic, seems to turn just about everything he writes into the equivalent of literary criticism; full of vocabulary but lacking meaning and authenticity.

Also obsessed with 'games as art pieces or commentary' and not for fun and entertainment. Two examples: Cow Clicker, a commentary on human's instinctual responses to Skinner Box design, and A Slow Year, a game about 'observing' where one of the mini-games has you drink coffee while staring at a window, which how that won awards is beyond me.

It's working great for him, I wish I had half the success he's had, and I do read his work from time to time, but we definitely don't have the same approach to games. He spends most of his time thinking about academia and politics, while I prefer to spend my time thinking about interesting mechanics and making things fun.

I'd say both are important, and before he came around his side wasn't really out there at all, so I'm glad he's around, but it's not surprising we have different opinions on the matter.
Front running is something which only exists when you need to fill an order which is too large for one stock exchange's ledger at that price. For retail trader that should not be a common case.

My understanding is that if you trade through a platform like this, that's monetizing through order flow, you're getting screwed by HFTs. I.e. AFAIK Robinhood doesn't need to be selling the data to HFTs (which they don't do), for you to get screwed by them.

Anyone here in the space who can quantify the "hidden" cost you incur because of more sophisticated traders trading against you?

It feels like working with a broker who's explicitly charging you might actually be cheaper if you take this "cost" into account?
Flat earthers are derided now, but that wasn't always so. You might have been in that camp 500 years ago and been just as adamant then as you are now.

We knew this 500 years ago too, but even if we didn't it would not have been rational to pretend to know the shape of our entire world without having evidence to back it up. All we would know is that it appears to be flat from our limited vantage point, and we were free to investigate further using various methods.

500 years from now I have absolutely no doubt that there are things we absolutely believe to be truth to be proven wrong. (Maybe light isn't both a wave and a particle?)

500 years from now it will still be the case that light can behave like a particle and a wave depending on how you're measuring it. We may have better, more accurate models to explain the behavior of light in 500 years.

So I disagree with anti-vaxxers, based on current evidence. But I won't dismiss them and consider them less intelligent.

The reason that many people believe vaccines cause autism is because of a fraudulent study by Andrew Wakefield. Believing in a claim based an a proven fraud is not rational regardless of what is discovered in the future.

To put it generally, if you believe in claim X for bad reasons, and it later is discovered that X is true, it does not mean that you were retroactively acting rational for previously believing in claim X for bad reasons.

If tritium is released in its atomic form, it is only a hyper-local threat, both geographically and temporally. I wasn't able to confirm this with a quick Google, but I imagine tritium will just want to go up, up, up as fast as it can, where it will never bother anybody again. (It's heavier than hydrogen but still lighter per-atom than helium, which has the same behavior). It doesn't have the problem fission fuels have where they like to seep into ground water, and be both heavy metals and radioactive.

Plus, there won't necessarily be a lot of it in a plant. Even if you're accustomed to the surprisingly large energy density of fission fuels, you're still not used to the even larger power density of fusion fuels. We're not talking moving tritium around by the tons... we're talking by the kilogram, or tens of kilograms. Compared to the difficulty of building the fusion plant in the first place, handling a few pounds of tritium safely isn't challenging at all.
In neighborhoods near me we have gently sloping curbs. They are about a foot wider than the normal 90 degree curbs I see in more dense urban areas. It is easy to notice from the car if you pull partially up onto them. I suspect it also makes it slightly easier for cars to go of the road, but that hasn't been a real problem. Cars, bike and people seem to be at less risk from the curb directly.
Didi Said Near Deal to Raise Funding at $50 Bllion Valuation
You can run rails without active record, you use it in API mode as well.

Go is a language not an application framework. So that's not a fair comparison.

You get a lot of nice things right out of the box with Rails so it's a good choice for many projects.

Node isn't a framework or a language, it's a runtime environment. You'd still have to write a Javascript application.

With Rails you get rapid development speed and you can just use the pieces you want.

You could argue that writing this sort of app in Swift is a good choice as well.

As far as bloat.. what's the actual consequence? A slightly bigger deployment? It's negligible in terms of real world consequences and offset by the convenience of Rails conventions.
I don't think that's a very good way of putting it.

I'd say its more correct to say orders from retail investors are valuable because:

1) They tend to be a relatively equal number of buys and sells. This is figurative manna from heaven for market makers

2) They don't mind crossing the spread, also a gift for market makers.

3) They can't really move the spread

and probably least importantly......

4) they aren't trading based on some sort of knowledge most of the time, ie they are typically just buying because they buy a bit each month or selling because they need money or selling to re-balance,

ie they aren't trading due to market signals, but rather due to their own personal situations.
Pretty skeptical about the value here.

>A Gold subscription lets users borrow up to double the money in their account to trade on margin with leverage

Users pay money to be loaned money? How is this different than a microloan service?

>Robinhood also earns money from rebates its gets for directing its order flow to broker dealers

That means, presumably, the dealers are profiting in some way by handling trades from investors less informed than themselves.

At the end of the day, Robinhood may not have trading fees, but the underlying brokers it works with do. I don't see how a microloans service and some kickbacks are enough to compensate. Presumably they are hemorrhaging money right now and the VC money is subsidizing novice investor's trading fees.

Despite the name "Robinhood" like this is giving money to the poor, this service seems extremely predatory to its users, offering them cheap loans to gamble with on the stock market and taking kickbacks from the exact type of people Robin Hood was stealing from.

I understand that at this stage he needed another musician to pull the music out of him interactively. But before it got that bad, a simple analog recording would have done. A MIDI recording even better.

I've been composing all my life. I know how to write music notation, but absolutely can't stand the tedium. I don't write code in calligraphy, and for the same reason, I play my music into a MIDI keyboard. From there, I can fuss with either the raw data, or actual music notation if I like, in software.
Even if I'm an happy Ruby developer,

I feel that realizing a chatbot
- in a specific programming language,
- with a standard framework (Rails),
- for a specific channel (Messenger),
is an ERROR, in the log terms.

BTW, I realized naif, my personal micro framework just to build chatbots in Ruby (see slides: https://github.com/solyaris/naif),

Nevertheless, I decided to NOT publish the code and no more deepen that "hard-coded" way,
instead I suggest to use and support a chatbot scripting (meta)language.

"it's just pointless overhead to make the programmer worry about that"

You are incorrect, removing this distinction actually adds overhead of keeping a type in mind when reading and working with code. And overall selector operator in Go is pretty bad, no need to defend it, it forces you to always keep in mind some things, like not to collide with a namespace, because there is no :: operator for namespaces and always look around where the thing is defined, because it's not obvious whether it's a namespace, an interface, a struct or a pointer receiver.

For code between machines in real time, Git. Private repositories on Bitbucket because way back in 2013 Github did not provide free private repositories. Public repositories on Github. I've got a back burner project to run Gogs on an RPi, but it hasn't happened.

For ordinary files between Windows and Linux, FAT32 partitions/disks. This means I can drag and drop graphically or use command line tools. Often I will use an SD card or thumbdrive when the transfer is tens of GB because the asynchronous steps means not having to baby sit an end to end pipeline and fewer steps if something goes wrong.
True, but there are many engineering tradeoffs. Any of the listed reactions involving deuterium produce some neutrons, so those aren't desirable (plus deuterium and tritium are rare).

Of the other reactions, neither Li-6 or N-15 are readily available, plus lithium is highly chemically reactive. The proton-boron reaction requires the lowest input energy (temperature) of the desirable aneutronic reactions, so it's the hot ticket...so to speak.
> That is, drivers are cited and forced to pay a fine simply for increasing the odds of an accident happening. The accident need not actually have occurred

I don't know about the US, but in Germany there are many cases where you can be fined for decreasing safety, even if no accidents happened.

For example obstruction of escape ways, violations of fire safety rules, organizing large events without the required quota of paramedics present and so on.

Another category is the possession of weapons without permit, which is illegal even if you haven't shot anybody.

Looks the same as C pointers. Maybe the title is more clear if it would be: "Understand pointers, using Go". Then for a C programmer it's clear from the title that "pointers" is the same concept, and Go doesn't have a different type of "Go pointers".

Or instead of starting with:

"This post is for programmers coming to Go who are unfamiliar with the idea of pointers or a pointer type in Go."

It could start with:

"This post is for programmers coming to Go from a language without pointers or a pointer type."

Coal was dead long before Trump was elected. The fact that he and the majority of the GoP continue to lack the political will to tell their people the truth does not change this.

I’ve started avoiding the whole pretence of “tagging” or “organisation” like I tried to do with Pinboard. My bookmarks are now Safari .webarchive files. I have access to them offline, I can back them up the same way I back everything else up, and I just organise them in folders however I want. I even get search!

A “bookmark manager” doesn’t need to be an app or a service -- it can just be a bunch of files.

Edit: I should say that Buku looks like a good program for those who like that way of things, though!

Inertial fusion using Deuterum and Helium 3 would solve a lot of these problems. Of course, He3 is rare here on Earth.

I don't think mining the Moon for He3 makes much sense. It's just too rare in the lunar soil.

Instead, my favorite concept is mining it from Uranus (whose gravity at Earth-like pressures is actually slightly less than 1g...). There's vast amounts available at useful concentrations (in addition to deuterium). You'd need a reusable two-stage nuclear thermal rocket to get it back to orbit, but luckily there's lots of hydrogen for propellant in the atmosphere (unlike Earth where that hydrogen must be chemically split from water or methane) and we've built and tested nuclear thermal rockets before (with more recent NTR designs achieving sufficient performance for such a vehicle to close). I'm not a fan of NTR for Earth launch (a lot of cost, plus it actually requires a lot more energy since all the propellant is hydrogen, instead of a mix of methane and mostly oxygen), but it would be enabling for Uranus launch.

Here's a concept for mining Helium 3 in Uranus using floating hot-air balloon mining facilities: https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/docs/5.6_Reinert.pdf

> Then for a C programmer

Maybe that's not the target audience?

Tutorials targetted at C newbies have been about "C pointers" for eons; why would Go tutorials refer to a different programming language?

What that program is doing would not be well-defined in C; you cannot increment a pointer from the address of one local variable to point to another, without leaving behind the ISO C standard dialect. I haven't seen any compiler-specific document which "blesses" the practice.

If that is well-defined in Go, that would be an excellent reason why the article really is specifically about Go pointers and not C pointers.
I've spent a lot of time on this, working on Rust's docs, and the way I see it is that "pointer" is the most generic concept, with "reference" being a more restricted form. So all references are pointers but not all pointers are references.

Words are hard.
