Don't worry, it's a click-bait term for being invisible to low-frequency wavelengths, so not visible light.

The US military has been working on microwave-invisible materials for a while and they've gotten very close. But microwaves have wavelengths on the order of a few cm (10^-2), meanwhile visible light is on ther order of 100's on nm (10^-7).

As the wavelength gets shorter it gets much harder to make "negative-refractive-index" materials - the material that enables to bend light around an object.
If you ask me why manhole covers are round, how many Wawas are in SE PA, or if an airplane would take off on a runway, I'm through with your interview. I'd rather spit innocuous horseshit about how great all the previous places in which I've worked have been. At the end of the day, I feel like these people aren't actually listening to what I'm saying.

Why is HR at the front end of the process, and not the back? If all goes well on the technical side and the team approves, shouldn't I then be moved on to meet the Human Resources department so they can ask the usual? I get that they should be involved, but in what capacity really?
> Pardon me, but this is not a satisfying answer to the request "show me the proof". Unless I am missing something, the paragraphs you cite are conclusions made by some authority bodies - based on evidence, perhaps, but without any demonstration of the process how such conclusions have been arrived at or of the evidence itself. Which makes these statements not independently verifyable. They can not therefore be regarded as proof - merely as an opinion.

As you are a Russian, please provide me access to the GRU's classified intelligence and I'll happily enlighten you on what you want to know.

No?

Well, how delightfully odd that you cannot provide that information. It is almost as if intelligence gathering and the related evidence is frequently kept secret to protect methodology/sources while the end result of that intelligence is all that is made public for decades.

You're right, apologies, I was thinking of the Syntastic/Neomake plugin which both use "VimL" as an identifer, which I had just set up this past weekend and I mistook that as the Vim filetype identifier.

Regardless Wikipedia says:

> Vim script (also called vimscript or VimL) is the scripting language built into Vim.

https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Vim_(text_editor)#/Vim_script

It's also colloquially referred to VimL across the web.

For those looking for an answer, the 3rd result from googling "VimL" is a question on StackOverflow "Why does VimL suck?" which does a good job of answering my question:

Individual stocks, to me, is like gambling. With enough knowledge and foresight and luck you can really make a pretty penny.

I like the idea of also investing in funds. AI and professionals are already watching and picking these for you; it feels like investing as well, may have lower returns but typically much safer.

A mix of both seems very healthy and what a lot of able-bodies are doing right now.
Arbitrage transports price information between places, e.g if a stock is trading for 360 in Chicago and 370 in New York (after accounting for transportation ). Market making transports price information across time, i.e. I buy a sheep at 9am and sell it at Noon. Arbitrage is classically riskless while market making involves significant risk.
I agree with the "not necessarily" part, but one thing that concerns me is in seeing large, critical institutions, like large hospitals and universities, outsourcing critical infrastructure off-premises.

If you look at operational costs per se, and licensing fees in a scenario like that, you're missing a huge proportion of the most threatening costs. Consider hospitals, for example, and recent problems with ransoming electronic health system data.

What concerns me with SaaS is that the biggest costs are very catastrophic or serious risks (like lock-in dependencies, or hacking due to monocultures--by the way, is that a formal, modeled concept in computer security, like it is in agriculture? The vulnerability of a market to "infection" due to monocultures?) that are maybe high probability over a very long-term period, but very low over a short-term period, and hidden.

Rent is traditionally seen not so much as a cause of inefficiency, but the effect of inefficiency. Rent can almost be seen as wasted efficiency. It's the efficiency (or surplus) taken off the table by the monopolist.

But your point about further concentrating power and enabling further regulatory capture, and hence, more rents, is an important one.

I think you're right. To me, the sentence should either be "the wrong kinds of entrepreneurs flourish..." or "the wrong kind of entrepreneur flourishes..." But this is a common error, and most people probably don't notice it.

A related thing I've noticed is that in British English, they refer to companies as plural. For example: "Google are going to acquire company X", whereas in American English, you usually see: "Google is going to acquire company X."

I was expecting something different given the novelty of the term "asymmetric price discovery" to this former equity derivatives market maker.

Also, nitpick, a market maker has to actually trade for price discovery to have occurred. I can run around quoting "bid AAPL 2 at 10 billion" all day long, if nobody bites I didn't promote price discovery.

TL; DR You can't asymmetrically discover prices.
Relative to say scuba diving it's a cheap and low risk hobby. Relative to say writing CRUD apps it's a terrible job.

But, the thing is this is basically the same as starting a band. ~90% have fun and lose a little money. ~9.9% brake even and make something between beer money and poverty level earnings. And 0.1% go from reasonable salary to ridiculous money at 0.00001%. Except, you have the vastly better fallback option of writing crud apps.
Yeah I agree with this. It got lost somewhere in this shitshow, but I really was just looking for something to use C++ for : obviously I won't be contributing to a legacy codebase or applying for a job maintaining [insert critical software] built in C++ people have cited.

I think "is it arbitrage" is a major part of the issue.

Bancor is claiming to be a market maker offering a spread (basically, taking a cut for insuring liquidity). Sirer is suggesting that without being able to react to real-world changes, Bancor will burn reserves to offer up something like arbitrage whenever the market changes. Well, arbitrage or "just giving away money", depending on how you count it.

I'm hardly qualified to judge the question, but it's disturbing that Bancor basically dodged the main complaint in this response.

Because the monopolies have exerted pressure on public education, including universities, to churn out advocates for the corporations bottom line.

With no basis in reality, we've brainwashed people to believe the bottom lines of the elite are to be protected. That's the outcome sought of our educational system.

It fascinates me how, on the one hand, we complain about how lazy people are. How much inducement the proles need. "Oh they're just lazy. Push em harder."

If we need to push people that hard, perhaps "economy of effort" is built into the species. It's a weird cognitive dissonance.

"They want something for nothing! But I want to maintain my elite status built upon your efforts!"

But that challenges the basis of elite power. If we all quit producing for them, they lose. So we're "induced to produce" under the constraints they define: no food, shelter, healthcare.

Yeah - in theory Bancor is market making. In practice, I'm not so sure. They don't seem to have answer the 'market trailing' claim, and if they (for instance) trail during crashes, they offer arbitrage to everyone else, paid out of the reserve.

I hadn't heard of protobufs before now. But if I understand it correctly, I don't think it addresses (what I think is) the fundamental problem with static typing in a distributed system.

It's that the your static types that exist at development/compile time aren't really strongly related to the runtime data. Meaning, the strong guarantees that static types make aren't actually true.

Systems deal with this by recreating the relationship: they convert incoming data to instances of the static types. But you have to note, this code exists to satisfy the static type system. If you didn't have a static type system, you don't need that code: you don't have to write it, test it, maintain it, etc.

protobufs looks like one way to recreate the relationship between your runtime data and the static types. It looks pretty nice, but it has its own complexities -- another language to learn on top of anything else you're doing, another tool to install and learn with its own quirks (I notice the generated C++ code files have a .cc extension), a code generation step to integrate into your build, new versions of protobuf to be integrated to get new features). Stuff you don't need to deal with if you don't have a static type system.

But it's not just that its wasteful. It also encourages you to deal with changes to your data model early, in a generic way (because your inflexible static type system pervades the entire code base... you can't do anything with the data until you wrestle it into an instance of a static type). But that's often not the best place to do it because at that point, the system doesn't know what will be done with the data.

Not that static types don't have their place. They certainly have their uses, but I think it's in small, inner-boxes, not throughout a codebase. E.g., let's make it something you have to opt-in to on a case-by-case basis, not a pervasive assumed default. Sure, provide a mechanism for type hinting to drive helpful static code analysis, like auto-complete and refactoring tools.

Perhaps provide some kind of flexible dynamic-type/static-type bridge that helps you solve dynamic-type/static-type issues rather than encourage them. E.g., something that at run time keeps track of the difference between runtime data and the static type it is supposed to be according to the type hinting.

I loved art as a teen (I still do but time). I loved every piece of making a painting and even working at an Art store in town. I even sold some paints of mine up to $500. I then got an offer at 18 to work a full time job at a real design agency in NYC. I quit after a month and didn't touch it for 4 years.

Doing a hobby and doing it for a living were two totally different things.
Well, non-rent model would be you buy the software(forever, if you want you can pay for updates), and in a click of a button you get hosting+backups etc, with some very cheap monthly rent(which is a more realistic representation of that part of the work). And you own that bundle of software + data.
I don't buy it. Wouldn't those frameworks hugely benefit from having atomic DOM operations? It seems like it would not only increase performance (almost for free), but could also potentially cut down on the amount of work their engines have to do to reduce the number of DOM manipulations they do.
If someone has to violate the law to produce value, then it is likely that they haven't really "produced" any value. More likely they are simply stealing from the commons.

Congrats Snowflake, this is a nice feature that takes advantage of pure separation of storage and compute.

Google BigQuery has had this feature since 2012, and to see this in action take a look at Google's Public Datasets [0]. Only difference, you don't need to "stand up a BigQuery" cluster to leverage the data yourself since BigQuery is serverless. BigQuery also has a nice perpetual storage tier, 10GB of storage and 1TB of analysis for free.

Thats why we need space colonization. We as a species are programmed to expand. We have become stagnant in the last 100 years.
I think a large contributor to this trend is a side effect of JavaScript, which is to perform library inclusion at runtime inside the browser.

Think about it. If you include a gigantic library in a compiled language, but only use 3 of its features, the rest of the library doesn't make it into your final program. Only those three features that you used do, because that's the linker's job. It takes only the features of a given library that are actually used for space efficiency reasons, and removed anything unneeded.

This is possible for JavaScript, but common language usage patterns work against this goal. If you're going to use a clientside library that's fine, but you should ship only the small fraction of it that your code actually calls into, not the entire honking library, 90% of which goes untouched by the client for every user.

Point here is, I agree with you, but this is a difficult problem to solve. You're asking a large number of frankly inexperienced programmers to deviate heavily from most JavaScript tutorials, and worse, most example code included in the documentation of most large frameworks.

Oh and about designing for difficulty level — I think it's sort of reverse engineered from the fully solved state by continually removing numbers until it's more sparse / harder. I believe some of the apps do it by incubating puzzles then gathering aggregate statistics about how long it took people to solve then bucket < 5 min --> easy, 5-10 min --> medium, 10-15 --> hard, 15+ min --> evil, etc.
That's good for you, some people shouldn't have those kinds of commitments. It certainly doesn't mean they're being "young and dumb" though.

That "pool" of people "able" to "write" "extensions" is exactly the people you don't want touching your text editor, or any software for that matter. Anyone that has a psychological barrier to take a look at a language that they are not familiar with, let alone a framework or an ecosystem, is not someone that I want being anywhere near the software I use. In an ideal world, I wouldn't want them to be anywhere near the web I visit either, but that is a lost cause.
For messaging you'd have to use some sort of public key encryption to protect the message. When thinking of platforms like Status.im I wondered the same thing for messaging, but they also have an actual client, not just on the blockchain.

Because it is pooling some of societies wealth into the government to distribute as a good.
