> Is there some quantifiable financial thing that would regress to whatever terrible situation we were in back in 1990 before HFT was substantial?

Yes, trades would cost a lot more. Every time your money was put into a stock, some middle men would take more of it than they do now. Trades would take longer, you might not get the price you thought you were getting when said buy or sell because the price might change in the time it took some dude to go manually buy or sell the shares you requested. That directly affects everyone with a 401k or stock. HFT has eliminated a large swath of useless middle men who were gouging you for money: those middle men are pissed they've been obsoleted and lost access to easily profit and are the now pushing to regular HFT, so they can go back to the good old days of bigger profits and more room for middle men taking a bigger bit of the average mans investment money.

HFT saves every market participant money, except the old school traders whom they've largely obsoleted.
Your logic would be fine if manufacturers were required to replace expired pills with new ones. But they aren't, so early expiry dates impose enormous economic costs on consumers of drugs, while manufacturers get the massive benefits of selling drugs twice to same consumer.
This looks promising and fairly well done, but it's lacking a few critical features IMO. The first obvious one is a way to Diff a recipe and it's Forks (unless I missed that).

The harder and maybe more important one, is an issue that GitHub itself still hasn't figured out how to solve either. There should be a process for a fork of a recipe being able to explain why it is better than the original, and have the fork be able to be voted on so that the 'best' fork as voted by the most users becomes the canonical 'Chicken Noodle Soup' recipe, or at least display the forks on main recipe ranked by popularity.
Looks like it's no longer on App Store (not surprising or disappointing, though it was convenient when I moved to a new machine)
I think a lot of people end up mixing being alive with being conscious. Is a tree conscious? Is a self driving car conscious?

If we use the definition "Aware of its surroundings, responding and acting towards a certain goal" then a lot of things fit that definition.

When an AI plays the atari games, learns from it and plays at a human level, I would call it conscious. It's not a human level conscious agent but conscious nonetheless.
The article isn't about trade throughs. It's an unconvincing argument that rebates bad and that IEX is good because it does not use rebates (while failing to mention any other exchanges that don't pay rebates).
The idea is that each map is open for contributions so all maps can be improved with the help of the community. Right now new things can be added by adding things directly to the JSON code that generates these maps but soon we will have a visual editor to simply this process even further.

And we provide a fallback search to DuckDuckGo in cases where no map is found for what you are searching for. We are also thinking of releasing a browser extension that will do what you proposed. You collect links from outside and then come back to our search engine and help improve it.
That would be the trick in delegation. Giving others the authority to get things done.

I don't know the specifics of what your dealing with but it might be defining a common starting place like an API contract with some architectural/non-functional requirements on the implementation or more recurring things like coding style guides or other documentation.

What Internet Pioneer Vint Cerf Sees in San Diego (and Other Tech Hubs)
The article states with absolute certainty that no patient has ever been harmed by an expired drug. Not doubting your point about tetracycline, but how much would a patient need to ingest to be harmed? Then there's the argument that the reason no one's been harmed is because the policy is working.

Harm due to unavailability of drugs or higher costs are much harder to track, of course.

Yet another case of a balance being hard to reach due to the visibility of costs on one side versus the difficulty of measuring on the other. So easy for the general public to see the cost of strictly enforcing overly conservative expiration dates as close to zero.

/offtopic: these issues are the achilles heals of democracies. Not that there's a better system.
Pretty awesome that they've been building the "same" app for 20 years – since MacOS 9!

I wonder how many folks use linux virtual consoles for day-to-day work. I guess it's not practical for web developers given that you probably have to switch to X to check results with a graphical browser, no?
The problem with that idea is I'm pretty sure an incoming call with a +988 (or other) country code is much more likely to be screened by Americans. I'd be like "I don't know anyone in that country". Not sure but I suspect Europeans may screen calls if not within their set of known Euro country codes.

How are you doing volume to weight conversions? Do you have a big table of weights-by-volume for different ingredients?
Allowing drug makers to set expiry dates is a huge conflict of interest, they have massive incentives to expire their drugs as soon as possible. I'm surprised the FDA doesn't do the testing and set the dates itself.

The best solution is to require drug makers to replace expired drugs with new, for free. Given that manufacturing costs are typically a tiny fraction of sales price, this is not an expensive warranty. This will also give them incentive to make expiry dates as reasonable as possible.

Make Money: Don’t Raise Money
If you think everyone's happiness at work is dependent on money and raises that is just not the case. "As people earn more money, their day-to-day happiness rises. Until you hit $75,000. After that, it is just more stuff, with no gain in happiness."

Can't forget Runescape, especially since you mentioned putting a game in a web page anyone could play.
I was once sedated for a procedure, and heard the Doctor ask for a certain type of needle. The Nurse replied that they were out; she had just thrown them all away since they were expired. The Dr asked "how expired", and she said "2 weeks". He replied that that was fine, he wanted them anyway. And then I heard the lid on the trash can opening...

I found it quite humorous; I couldn't care less that their supplies were a bit 'expired,' nor that the sealed packages had sat in the trash can for a bit!
> And yes, Transmit still handles the classics — FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, and S3 — better than any. We make complex services drag-and-drop simple.

I love Transmit, but S3 has been broken for a long long time on Transmit 4 [1]. Is it now fixed in 5?

Yeah, it's on the list of things to do. Once there are enough recipes/users it will also be useful to see the history/ancestry of recipe. There are already a few that are forks of forks. All the recipe data is immutable and versioned, so that will happen at some point.

The main one was that having a single language was a win, compared to mixing 6 or 7 of them, and their associated cognitive overhead. Red expands this in both directions, with Red/System as the low level dialect and metaprogramming at the highest level.

No, in this case it is trained on all the games, but retains good scores on all of them. If you train basic AC3 in all the games, you'll get poor performance on all the games due to catastrophic forgetting

To put it concisely, “why is having a patent license until you commence litigation worse than not having one at all?” The answer is subtle.

Many corporate lawyers operate on the assumption that all open source licenses that do not mention patents (BSD, MIT etc) implicitly grant a patent license. Clarifying this ambiguity is seen by them as harmful — that’s why approval of CC0 at OSI was abandoned[1], for example. Including an explicit patent grant removes the possibility this could be argued in court and is seen as an escalation of the patent conflict by Facebook.

Given many voices at Apache are being quietly guided by corporate counsel, this seems the most likely underlying explanation for the antipathy that's been rationalised out into the open.

Someone Is Growing Weed Outside Vancouver City Hall
Great questions and discussions. I'm definitely passionate about versioning in the context of models and data science for both data and code. I work full time on the open source Pachyderm project (pachyderm.io), and we have users versioning their data and models in our system. Basically, you can output checkpoints, weights, etc. from your modeling and have that data versioned automatically in Pachyderm. Then if you utilize that persisted model in a data pipeline for inference, you can have total provenance over which versions of which models created which results (and which training data was used to create that version of the model, etc.).
20 year time frame that is around 2040 for AGI Artificial General Intelligence in the it's BASIC Form seems in line with many experts in this filed.

> I expect within 10 years there will be computer agents capable of communicating in simplified, but functional languages. Full human language capability will come after that. And within 20 years I expect artificial general intelligence to exist. At least in a basic form. That is my personal view. I am currently working on this.
neat idea!

A weird piece of feedback: Something about the UI gives me a substantial feeling of loneliness.
In positive news, it'll probably be only a couple of years until Google gets bored of being in that space and either shutters the product or spins it off to an independent company.
I am working on creating basic artificial general intelligence. My research is still early, and I don't want to give much details for now. For example, in my opinion it is wrong to feed a giant neural network with tons of text, and expect it to understand human language. That will never work. Language understanding requires a grasp of a world where the agent exist first. A general understanding of things. Then, on top of that, it can build basic communication. And then it can be hoped that this communication can become sophisticated enough, to reach human language level.

Another example: Feeding a neural network with millions of product reviews, and expect it to be capable to understand and write product reviews is hopelessly laughable. Not even with petabytes of data.

I started working on this, because I think that not enough focus is being put on AGI, or research is not creative enough. At least not that is being published. I am optimist with my work, and soon I will reveal more. But even if I don't reach my goals, I think that it is just a matter of persistence. At any moment, someone will solve the problem of AGI.

iTerm has support for tiling terminal panes within a single window. You can drag any tab to subdivide a pane as much as you like.

It's handy for keeping "tail" or "watch" commands or similar visible — the same reasons people use tmux, tiling window managers, so on.

The UX isn't perfect, but it's useful enough that I've stuck with iTerm despite the lower performance (and bugs — it's pretty buggy, and the main author rarely seems to address Gitlab issues).

iTerm has other nice features. It can run without a title bar (saves space), it does cmd-click-to-open-file, and it has a lot of customization options. I don't really use most of the features; the tiling aspect is the main feature I rely on.

You may need to do some work to boot your console into text mode. If your linux console is using graphics mode even on modern systems it can still be a dog, especially at 4K. Presumably this is a result of using ancient lowest-common-denominator interfaces since my system has the raw power to run a snappy text-mode only terminal.
It seems like you could use that same space for the QR code to just specify its toxicity.
Nice!

It is clear you put a lot of care into this, and I am sure there is a bucket full of features you want to get to, but I have a big request.

What I really want is one step beyond a place to store recipes. I want a meal planning site! I want to create a pool of recipes that we like, and plug in how often this week we will eat at home. Then outcomes a grocery list and a plan for each day. Maybe it even sees what we have liked, and suggested new recipes to add to the pool.

I am this close to pulling the trigger on PlateJoy, but my biggest hurdle is I can't add recipes I _know_ we like to their list of experimental (to us) meals.

Really, I don't mind/enjoy cooking, but never seem to carve the time out to plan an entire family of four's meals a week in advance.
I read this as Netflix and was very confused for a while.
I'm pretty sure for almost all drugs 20% doesn't matter. Think about it. I've never gotten an over the counter or prescription drug that was adjusted for my weight. The closest thing I can think of is painkillers (tylenol, etc) giving different dosages for children.

So if a 110lb wife gets the same dosage as a 200lb husband, how on earth would even a 20% difference in dosage amount make a big difference?

2% can only be done in fantasyland, like in a hospital you and the medicine are both closely weighed and administered.

Its not just that you are a prepaying with high risk, but that what is essentially a charity is somehow treated as a legitimate business enterprise. That the community fully accepts, and even expects the producer to continue selling the product after having the entire thing funded by whatever fans. For a physical good, this can be justified, but for software...

The benefit being some 33% proce reduction, or a special in-game kickstarter item, or a forum badge, or a little physical good related to the game and production costs vastly underestimated, or some other nonsense.

That people buy into this, I don't like at all. But the arrogance, stupidity and outright malicious of the devs that make use of it is infinitely more offensive. And thats just amongst the once-respectable developers..

Why limit yourself to self driving cars? A smart malicious actor would just throw oil out their window on a highway. Watch all the cars crash!!

I think these adversarial examples are near irrelevant issues for self driving cars. If someone does something bad, we prosecute them. Its the same whether you're throwing oil onto a highway, covering up stop signs with adversarial stop signs, or whatever you might want to do.

Now if there was an exploit that caused all self driving cars in the whole country to suddenly crash into walls, that would be one thing. But these image-based attacks are limited to a single intersection or road at time. And after a single car crashes, the intersection gets closed. So if you really want to kill a few people, why not just go and stab them in the neck?

I have been meaning to open source this for a while now, might try do it later this week...i don't see a better way to do it in PHP 7 as it stands today. My biggest holdback has been that it's just dangerous, essentially HTTP becomes the protocol for connecting to the DB, which means you need to ensure those requests are locked down and i suspect most people will mess that up and create a world of hurt for themselves.
