Prediction markets are the most efficient way to make societal decisions; they allow everyone to combine their information and predictions without having to directly coordinate with each other. There's academic literature arguing they'd be the best way to do politics etc. At the moment all we do with them is capital allocation, but that has real-world effects: ultimately the idea is to give more money to companies that can use it better (so that they then e.g. build more factories, hire more people, make relevant buyouts) and less money to companies that will make less good use of it.

Not sure what you mean. The USB stick gets mounted as read-only on boot, so while technically you could write to it, this does not happen. The key never gets written to the USB stick, and is only kept in memory, sent to the wired printer as an QR code, and of course the Yubikey. I then wipe the USB just because, but there is no real point in doing so.

The largest vulnerability here would be the printer having some kind of memory, since BadUSB is a myth.

Dear Indie Devs: ASO tips aren't enough
A long time ago on a crappy restricted internet I used this and jigdo at different times to download the Ubuntu ISO. Being able to do so for Ubuntu and not other distributions was another factor in my using Ubuntu back then.
If they used tables it was probably to account for a bunch of edge case and to fine tune the jumps to feel right and controllable. Counter-intuitively, plain inertial physics doesn't seem to feel very good in platform games. But inertial physics is pretty cheap to implement on the 6502 using fixed point arithmetics.

Yes! I use this and like that it's so simple, and that the latest version of the backup is easily available as plain files. (Any metadata that the filesystem doesn't support are stored separately in files, so it works across different type of filesystems and operating systems.) There is even a FUSE filesystem, "rdiff-backup-fs", for mounting the whole backup history, with each backup point in a subdirectory of its own, like it should be!

Unfortunately, it seems not to be developed any longer, and it has a few things that would need ironing out:

* You can't pause a backup and continue later.
* Some operations (notably recovery after an aborted backup run) is excruciatingly slow. It takes tens of hours for me with a backup of 40 GB or so (on a low-powered computer as server, though). I think rdiff-backup-fs is resource hungry as well, which is perhaps partly understandable, since it has to go through a series of reverse diffs to present old versions of a file.
* I tried it on Windows once, and it could apparently not handle paths longer than a few hundred characters (due to using that older Windows API, whatever it's called).
* You can't delete intermediate backups, only the oldest one.
I've noticed when looking at "democratic" restaurant rankings, they tend to be dominated by places that cater to some common denominator. Cafes with latte art, dessert shops, drinking spots. Those are what win, even in rankings nominally about food.

In many cities it becomes tricky to find an actual restaurant. The top ten spots might only contain one or two, plus everyone's favorite ice cream parlor.

I did a write up on my blog [1] that attempts to explain how prototypal inheritance works.

That said, whenever I teach OOP in JS I have found that a lot of developers do not understand the prototypal nature of JS.

Another source of confusion is the `this` keyword, how it works, and consequently how apply/call (which this article uses) affect `this' inside the function (or method).

This is not specifically only a reply to you, but it seems like the two camps of "detailed specification on paper/word processor" and "code on the fly, because the code is a document" are missing a third alternative, which is TDD (ie, the tests are the specification), and a fourth alternative, which is literate programming (the code and specification are written together).
Thanks, I'm looking forward to some inter-dimensional reading!
> ordinarily when you try to use your knowledge of psychological tendencies in the artful manipulation of someone whose trust you need, you will be making both a moral and prudential error. The moral error is obvious. The prudential error comes because many intelligent people, targeted for conscious manipulation are likely to figure out what you are trying to do and resent your action.

Seems to me then the obvious moral error extends to less intelligent (so regarded) individuals and to groups of individuals of all stripes. Which presumably means Mr Munger has never utilised the methods he has researched so digligently.

There are tools such as the K10 that go a way to making an objective assessment but I actually find the difference between MDD and "feeling down" pretty obvious. Like most of medicine, it's pattern recognition.

+50% means 50% slower

-50% means twice as fast

I feel it's kind of disingenuous to call it a "pub in the middle of nowhere" when it's a Michelen star rated restaurant that only offers a tasting menu. Also the article doesn't describe why it was named the World's Best Restaurant. It just says they used "an algorithm that takes into account the quantity and quality of millions of reviews".

Reviewers on Yelp/TripAdvisor/etc are generally really terrible and know nothing about food, so this accolade is probably not worth much in real value. However it's crazy how quickly it affected their publicity.
No. Affiliate sales is just a basic "every sale you send my way, you make some money" arrangement, different only from traditional commissioned sales in that the affiliates usually don't work "directly" for the company selling the product.

Multi level marketing (MLM) schemes are situations in which people make money, or are promised money, based on their ability to recruit additional affiliate salespeople. The typical MLM pitch is "if you sell product X, we'll give you a (typically huge) sum of money, and also if you convince someone else to enter into this same agreement, we'll give you a different (usually smaller) sum of money, and what's more you'll get money for every sale that recruit makes, any people they recruit, and any sales they make, recursively on down the tree."

The con is usually in the fact that product X is difficult née impossible to sell, and that entering into such an agreement in the first place requires payment into the scheme. Those factors result in the people towards the "root" of the tree making tons of money simply from the fact that more people are getting recruited and paying in at lower levels. They make money from the tree growing, even though the leaves are not making sales.

This is widely considered unethical (and illegal, in some cases) since its primary profit engine is recruitment under usually-false pretenses. MLM can be practiced ethically between a given two parties, but usually only makes money due to subsequent unethical practices (e.g. one seasoned affiliate marketeer agrees to be a recruit of another such seasoned salesperson in a multilevel scheme, knowing full well the behavior of the scheme; they then both go on to enrich themselves and each other by shilling unsuspecting rubes with the typical "you can work your own hours, get tons of money, and, if you grow your network big enough, rake in the cash while your recruits do all the hard work!" sell concealing the "...for a nominal [signup|monthly|etc] fee" hook).

There's also xdelta which is just an algorithm / program for calculating and applying binary diffs. I suppose the advantage of zsync is that you can always point "new" users to "/current.file", and use zsync to patch "up" to the latest version - with xdelta people would need to explicitly get "my..current.xdelta".

> They don't, because the purpose of capitalism is to exponentially increase profits.

The purpose of Capitalism is free-association based capital allocation for generating a profit, not to exponentially increase profit. There is no arbitrary outsized multiplication definition attached, nor is there an arbitrary small level of profit under which it's no longer considered Capitalism.

Costco and Walmart are blatantly Capitalist entities, they operate with minuscule 2-3% net income margins.
I mean, I don't see it being depicted in any way besides "hey here's what I experienced". A lot of people actually mention being caught off-guard and taking massive losses on the Monday itself. The "stock analyst", Paul Tudor Jones, is probably the most famous one who "saw it coming" but knowing something is coming doesn't necessarily mean you are able to profit from it.

Swarm has a very special role, because it's custom-built to integrate in the Docker platform. Because it's so specific, it has a smaller standalone community than Kubernetes, but it makes up for it in focus and speed. You should expect a lot of bleeding edge features to ship in Swarm first, and a generalized version to land in kubernetes later. That's already been the case in the past: Windows support, secrets, node identity & promotion - those all shipped in Swarm first, then made their way to Kubernetes. Not because Swarm developers are smarter, but because they can focus on a narrower, more integrated problem set.

Longer term, I think all orchestrators will converge to look more and more the same. Orchestration will become a commodity, and it will matter less and less which orchestrator you use, especially to developers. But this process will take a long time, and in the meantime enterprises (our primary customers) need to deal with the situation on the ground, which is a lot of Swarm and Kubernetes living side by side because of historical decisions made in 2015-17.

Keep in mind that the stock market is only one part of the financial markets. There’s treasury (Tbill),forex, bond, metals, and derivatives of all of these(futures/swaps etc) and then other instruments used for hedging. All of these markets directly affect the movement of money all around the world.

Also keep in mind that most trades are executed with a hedge in place to prevent losses. The market is rarely a case of bet a million on black trades. That said my knowledge is comes from knowing how energy and metals are traded.

Oha, you really seem to have hit a self-illusioning wound here.

And I'd say actually stock trading is the high stake gambling. If you increase the gambling sizes too high with card games etc, the public will believe it's unserious. But if you put it in a context of business, suits, and skyscrapers then it seems serious enough. That's why you cannot just make Casinos with bigger stakes and instead need to rely on that farce.

That's what people get wrong all of the time. Most of HFT is not about seeing a trend and acting on it. Most of that is front-running on data obtained from deals with brokerage firms and the likes.

I agree with you. I suppose what I should have said is that software engineering is becoming much more lateral than ever before. Though it seems like the verticalness is decreasing. Hmm, I wonder if the total "area" of "verticalness" times "lateralness" has stayed constant over time :) Perhaps it is a reflection of how much time an engineer can spend on learning things, and I would expect the "area" is different across the distribution of programmers. But maybe the average area has remained invariant.
No not most people. But, if you own 60% of a company it can take a long time to unwind without impacting the price. Further the transion is smooth as selling 1 million in most stocks in a second would change the price.

Anyway, my point is simply that trades are the mechanism that changes price. So, you can't expect to sell arbitrary amounts of stock at the current clearing price.
The first few paragraphs of this article put me off of the entire thing.

Because K8s adds large amount of potentially unnecessary complexity?

- Setting up Swarm is trivial, setting up Kubernetes is not so much (kubeadm is still not recommended for production, and there are valid reasons for this). I guess the only thing that's probably easier on K8s is (totally unsupported) multiarch cluster - it's somewhat messy with Swarm[1]. Although my experiments with multiarch K8s had failed (got issues with CNI stuff and postponed research for later).

- Compose file format is significantly simpler and concise. Less code to write is good.

- Debugging failing Swarm is significantly easier than debugging failing Kubernetes. Well, that's probably subjective and I haven't truly deeply debugged either, but at least I believe so - on occasions I was able to find my way through moby, swarmkit & libnetwork source, and K8s feels a very different beast.

____

Update[1]: I re-checked multiarch status for Swarm and found out that now `docker service create --name test --placement-pref 'spread=node.id' --replicas 2 --no-resolve-image ubuntu sh -c 'while true; do uname -a; sleep 1; done'` just works on a freshy set up mixed x86_64+armhf Swarm cluster (no multiarch alpine images yet, though - promised to come next week). Guess, Swarm had beaten K8s here.
For all the democratic aggregators, there seems to be a inflection point beyond which they stop being as useful.

In their earliest days, the primary user base is made of enthusiasts. They bring opinions and experiences not available through mainstream critics but with an eye for quality.

At some point, the places being reviewed realize how important the rankings are. They start building things specifically to improve their position on these rankings and you reach a trend-driven, inoffensive mid-market nothingness in the app and in the place itself.

The answer to this problem has always been the same
- find and follow a set of critics that you like
- keep an eye out for popular food trends and apply a negative bias towards restaurants nakedly following it
- start understanding the texture of neighborhoods and the chefs within them: if Alex Stupak opens a new place in Lower Manhattan for example, it would be an automatic stop for me.
