Is 10-minute ACH a kind of problem a lot of people face?

Seems like instant liquidity confirmation has been solved with credit cards or Paypal for trivial amounts (third party willing to act as an intermediary) or wire transfers for larger amounts (banks engaging their backchannel comfirmation protocols for a measly $25 fee).

There are also debit card payments, admittedly not as widespread, but impressively fast when used through Square Cash or Facebook Messenger.

None of the existing solutions are perfect, but all seem to be "good enough".
Hm I did a test with an coverage-instrumented Python binary, and you are right.

I counted the number of times lookdict_string in dictobject.c is called -- call that number D. And then I made N attribute accesses like 'p.x'.

Without slots, if N goes up, then D goes up. With slots, as N goes up, D stays constant.

Thanks for the information -- I'll look into this more.

(However, as mentioned, slots are not more than 20-30% faster on my machine, in this limited benchmark. I feel like this is a double mystery. Or maybe it's just that interpreter loop overhead or some other overhead is the bottleneck, and not dict access.)

This is what the "left/alt-left/whatever you want to call them" don't understand.

You may initially benefit from censorship because you are the initiators and the one's with the pull, but sooner or later, everyone else will start organizing.

When mormons/christian groups/conservatives/etc organize and start flagging atheist/lgbt youtubers/content and getting them taken down, are you going to celebrate censorship?

The beauty of free speech is that as long as everyone has it, you have it too. The problem with censorship is if you can censor, then so can others.

Fine. You don't like hateful racist speech. Ban it. But others don't like hateful atheist/lgbt/etc speech either.

I'd rather live in a free speech world with "hate" than a censored world without "hate".

In the United States most people did not come here already rich and they had to trade among each other to survive. Everywhere communism touches has problems. In Britain check peoples teeth they are a nice color yellow, in Canada you can wait for months for medical care, in Russia you need to bribe the doctor to get medical care, in Venezuela you need to travel to a neighboring country to get food, in Cuba you earn $25 a month, in Mexico no one can own guns except for the drug gangs that rule cities....

All so that people can be equal... equally screwed that is.

Nope. Modifying pre-1914 water rights in California would constitute a taking, and the state government would have to reimburse that. As for the sweetheart deals that Nestlé gets from the federal government, that's another matter entirely.
If people find getting started on a compiler to be a bit too intimidating, one good way to get your feet wet is implementing an interpreter for small subset of a language. Perhaps the basic arithmetic part of adding/multiplying/dividing integers.
Real time drone control from your browser could have a similar effect, and even help find people who are stranded: http://cape.com
Investment now saves money later in many cases. For example, climate change denying Florida will be halfway under water by the time the people give up on their state government and elect some people who will install pumps, barrier islands, etc. to mitigate the effects. The water is already noticeably higher in coastal areas.

Another good example is trains. They cost a ton upfront but they will shape entire communities for generations.

Not one bit. It's because people are losing their heads over it, it's got classic bubble written all over it, and you've got people who've made money and think they're all the wiser for it.

They arrogantly carry a sentiment that detractors are just jealous. Human nature to do that--I get it.

There's a saying I heard, something like "Sure, you made a lot of money buying the stocks of tobacco companies. So what? You're still an asshole."

In my mind, buying Bitcoin is like shorting the US financial system with the idea that it sucks and should to hell anyway. But, our system with all it's flaws works pretty damn well. It shouldn't be taken for granted and bet against.

>This argument breaks down in a couple of different ways but lets just look at one:

>Assuming there is no wealth redistribution then you had Joe and Jane have $19.128.28 and $69,330.20 respectively. Lets say they both die on the same day and leave all their wealth to Joe Junior ($19,128.28) and Jenny ($69,330.20).

I'd argue this is a categorically different case as it's taking wealth from a dead person. From economic perspective I agree there's less of an argument that this reduces growth.

>And of course the same is true without having to wait for the next generation. Just because person A made good use of their resources for 10 years is no indication that they will always continue to do so and so are going to generate the best return on those resources - and the opposite is also true. That said while past performance is no indicator of future success it is a whole lot better then nothing.

If past performance is some indicator of future success, then would it be fair to say that if a redistribution policy ignores this, and takes into account no other factors correlated with potential future returns in determining whom to redistribute to, then on average it will still result in transfer from better investors to worse investors? An opposed to e.g. redistribution in the form of scholarships to poor but well-performing students, which could increase overall growth.
Government action might be required to manage and regulate AI, but it's inconsequential in its development. AI will be developed by private American companies, and the lead they have over international competitors is staggering.

For more than half a century, the best and brightest minds in the world have come to America. Bret Stephens put it best:

>As for Nobelists, a report by George Mason’s Institute for Immigration Research found that Americans have won 40 percent of all Nobel Prizes ever awarded — and immigrants accounted for 35 percent of those winners. Last year, the only native-born American to win the prize was Bob Dylan, for literature. The rest of the American winners — economist Oliver Hart, physicist J. Michael Kosterlitz, chemist Fraser Stoddart — are immigrants.

>A common American conceit is that we attract brilliant foreigners because we have brilliant things: great universities, vast financial resources, a dynamic economy, high-tech. That gets things mostly backward. It’s because we have brilliant foreigners that we have those things in the first place. Google. Comcast. eBay. Kraft. Pfizer. AT&T. They all had immigrants as founders.

>Overall, a 2016 study by the Partnership for the New American Economy found that 40 percent of all Fortune 500 companies were founded or co-founded by immigrants or the children of immigrants. Taken together they employed 19 million people and had revenues of $4.8 trillion.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/01/opinion/daca-trump-dreame...

The United States will be the leader in all major technological advancements for the conceivable future, because there is more genius in the United States than there is in the rest of the world combined. There has never, in human history, been a nation so adept at attracting the best and brightest minds from the far reaches of the globe.

No other country comes close to possessing the capacity for invention and sheer brilliance that the US does.

I believe originally they thought they might make a fresh squeeze. This story is similar to Theranos - the founders/executives just did not want to accept the reality. Juicero founders eventually gave up - and devised some crazy compromise that let them pretend that it is a fresh juice - but it was quite deceiving and it did not work well.

Metacademy might be what you are looking for.

It's easy to find textbook recommendations just by searching "best textbook for x". It's true most people just recommend the books that are the most well known and they are familiar with. It's hard to side by side comparison two textbooks. But it does filter out the garbage which there is a lot of.

Best advice is to look at the table of contents and see what it covers and doesn't cover.

I was booking a place in Budapest this summer on Booking.com, and there was a specific area I wanted to be in. I searched for that area and found a place that was marked as having a certain location that was perfect for me. Upon arriving, it turns out this was just where their "main office" was, and the specific apartment I was renting was situated in a different area, several tram rides away. I tried to get my money back for this clear deception but to no avail.

Their excuse? The real address was available to me in my confirmation email, i.e. after I had already paid. If you can't trust their map, it serves no purpose whatsoever. A few weeks later I was trying to find the listing but it appears to have been removed.

I'd switch in an instant if someone built a useful alternative to Booking. Agoda is the same deal as far as I can tell, and it is owned by the same parent company.

EDIT: Airbnb is great - I use it a lot, more than Booking - but sometimes you just want a more professionally run hotel, hostel or apartment. In fact, after cancelling that place I ended up booking a studio with Airbnb at the last minute.

In California? Which entire communities? I lived there for 30 years and know of only a few very, very narrow definitions of community for which that is true.

The main thing keeping SF cool in the summer is a cold ocean due to the current coming from Alaska, high coastal ranges north and south of SF, and the large central valley to the east. The air in the central valley heats up and rises causing a strong flow of cool air to move from over the Pacific Ocean, across San Francisco and the Bay, into the central valley. This keeps the Bay area relatively cool in the summers. Sometimes this flow is interrupted for various reasons and things can heat up quite quickly. Especially if the wind starts bring in hot air from the east.

The Obscure Economist Silicon Valley Billionaires Should Dump Ayn Rand For
This is because China is not a democracy. In a democracy, someone who speaks well is likely to win - and lawyers by definition must be able to speak very well. In China there is a merit-based system which as every merit-based system, has a lot of flaws - so someone able to work through the top of it must be a real hacker. Engineers win hands down over lawyers.
Having done this a number of times with side projects, I can say I both agree and disagree. I've learned so much from delving down black holes: new languages, frameworks, design patterns, tools, etc.--stuff that stimulates my brain and helps me feel like I'm becoming a better engineer. ...but not realizing an idea in my head for a tool that I just want to use because I can't find it anywhere else is really annoying. I kinda hesitate to even start projects anymore because I fear I'll spend hours and hours, burn out, then end up with nothing I can use.
Agreed. I had the same thing writing the parser for my $SHELL. The output was never going to be machine code since the bulk of the code would consist of pipelining external processes and spawning subshells. So the output of "compiler" is an AST-like memory structure with an order of process and tokens for parameters. However I still found following tutorials about compiler design immensely helpful since the problems I faced were largely the same even though the output generated was vastly different.
You see it as enforced generosity. Others see it as general societal obligation to take care of its members when hit by forces not under their control. If you were hit by similar circumstances, I'm not sure you'd be as quick to denounce "forced" generosity, especially if there wasn't a sympathetic local billionaire around.

That said, I'm sympathetic to the general problem of government not utilizing resources efficiently.

@brownbat, I can't downvote you since you're replying to my comment. I would guess the downvotes are because your original comments are snarky and lack an argument germane to the OP.

I don't have raw data and am basing my conclusions on the stock market you mention, that luck is a big component of chinese culture, and that the Chinese operate the largest bitcoin mining pools.
