Yeah that's essentially right. The only modification I'd make is in your last step, what'd you need to do is buy back the magic bean coins (because you owe them to someone else). So you you wouldn't "sell 0.5 eth for 20 bean stalks", you'd buy 20 bean satlks for 0.5 ETH. You'd then pay back the loan, at which time your 1 ETH of collateral would be released back to you. Now you'd have 0.5 ETH in profit from selling magic bean coins high and buying low, as well as your original 1 ETH.

Regarding your parenthetical questions:
1) yes, you'd pay interest on this. you'd negotiate this interest rate with the person lending you the magic bean coins
2) yes, there are a couple scenarios where you'd forfeit your collateral: a) if you were wrong, and the price of magic bean coins appreciated beyond the value of your collateral; b) if even if you were right and the price depreciates you forget to pay back the loan
3) that's correct, Dharma is just the protocol for the creation of the loans, so the terms of the loan would be determined by the constituent parties (the borrower, lender, and underwriter)
I haven't seen his twitter feed, granted.

To your first point, to make that leap would be to conflate "is" and "ought". Yes, many people do make that error, but you can't accuse him of doing it when others do.

I've never felt so terrified and fascinated at the same time.
All the scientific evidence disagrees with you and so do many former employees and directors of intelligence agencies, so I'd like to see some citations.

You don't even have to go into physical torture: recent history is filled with cases where people confessed to crimes under police interrogation, only to have iron-clad evidence show up that they couldn't possibly be responsible.

The most effective technique is befriending the suspect, doing nice things for them, then allowing the natural human tendency to reciprocate (and a desire for positive social interactions) work for you. It takes time but gets you much more reliable information - and much more extensive information.
Rather, imagine if it were given by Tucker Carlson. I seriously doubt it would be quite like this. This is just totally unprofessional.

You mean “massively illegal, period.”

Cryptocurrencies are not magically immune to all of the financial regulation of the past few hundred years just because they’re not specifically called out in those regulations.

“Cryptocurrencies are unregulated” is not just a myth, it’s propaganda created by shady people trying to sell you something.

What's a "debootstrap upgrade"? Why couldn't you chroots and dist upgrade?

Any coin I can't personally see a use for is a shitcoin to me. Unless it does something innovative that excites me to write stuff for, I'm not interested. By that definition, most coins are shitcoins, but there's no objective shitcoin test anyway.

Not to mention that nobody really uses any coins right now because of all the hype, so it's not a great time for people who want cryptocurrency usage to eventually be widespread.
Here's the problem though - how do people determine that they're suitable judges of whether someone is marginalised or not?
I noticed that, too. I don't have time to read the entire article, but the numbers on the "Tech Leavers" link didn't fit the story. In fact, the numbers across genders were fairly equal. The "Women and STEM Occupations" link fit the story quite a bit better.
It's probably simple enough to implement both methods if available.
I think they'll find customers.

If I ran a company and I was losing good people because of a toxic culture, I wouldn't say "Oh well, I guess those people I lost will start their own companies and out-compete me, and everyone will be happy." I'd want to fix my toxic culture and keep the people and win.

I used to think (terribly naively) that a company having a particular type as a founder would ensure that all such people would feel welcome there. But I have seen that not be the case.
That's an interesting question I didn't see coming. I wouldn't want to recommend actually taking a job at ADP or Allstate! I'd be interested in hearing suggestions here too.
I just want to thank you for posting this over here, I've been looking for something like this. I need something where I can develop and understand code as I go, so not a completed system, but that also provides final code so I can have something that actually works. I tried following the OSDev pages to try an x86 kernel, but I gave up when I couldn't get interrupts to fire.
I've found a useful model is to think of your behavior as a selection-bias filter on the people you hang out with. I don't think it's reasonable to expect everybody to like what you're doing. People don't even agree with each other, so if nobody disapproves of what you're doing or how you conduct your life, chances are you're not doing anything important or actually having a life. A group where everybody agrees on everything is a cult, not a culture.

But if nobody likes you and wants to hang out with you, you have a problem. And if the people who like what you're doing are people that you yourself don't really like, you're probably not being true to yourself. You want to be in a situation where there's a core group of people you like and respect who also like and respect you. If you've got that, who cares what other people think?
The is/ought issue is one of the core philosophical issues under the surface here. It goes to the heart of what it means to be a liberal (broadly defined) or a conservative.

To be a conservative is to tend toward deriving "ought" from "is," or at least skepticism toward attempts to change the status quo.
You've changed the subject, sir.

No period (before 1914) is given by Friedman. This matters because, as my source is careful to say, a remarkably rigid system of international currency exchange rates had been formed before the WWI. This wasn't an accomplishment of the U.S., nor was it entirely safe, wise, or productive.

Of course, rather by definition, if multiple currencies are all convertible to gold (as they were pre-1914) they rise and fall in exact sync with each other with every whim of the gold market, every gold discovery, etc - until one falls off the cliff and has to renounce conversion - but that hardly means no whiplash!! In fact it means countries are less insulated from each other's economic troubles, more of a monoculture than a robust ecosystem - and, as stated, every country's economy is whipped about by anything that changes how easy it is to get gold out of the ground or increases or decreases consumption of it, including fashion and improvements in dental technology. Also, even the severest depression won't be reflected in the exchange rates. And it was those downturns, that were the topic.

Stable exchange rates have a trade-off; and they certainly don't prove economic stability or the absence of downturns at all. It's more like watching a team of acrobatic aircraft: they all maintain their wingtip distance strictly, and that's fine: but if one plane goes into the ground, they all do. Being in close formation isn't a proof you're not headed for a mountain or the ground; because it's not the kind of stability that has anything to do with that most important risk. Ditto rigid exchange rates.

What changed in 1914 was war. There was no intellectual decision that gold convertibility was unfashionable - war breeds inflation, necessity made conversion a hindrance to the war efforts. That international confusion (and therefore the resultant fluctuations in currency exchange rates worldwide) wasn't created by the American decision to have a central bank, for goodness sake. If anything the arrow of causation went the other way.

If Milton finds it hard to believe that the war-to-end-all-wars might have caused a wee bit of currency turbulence, so it had to be the U.S. finally creating a Federal Banking Institution that did that all over the world, he's rather isolated in that position. But of course, he's slyly leaving that leap into the abyss for the reader to make.
Simpler than regular expression to be honest; css or xpath queries are rather simple compared to regular expressions.
The device level images are a mix of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and visual microscope images.

A bunch of different ways. Depends on the material being measured but measuring sheet resistance (effectively, you can back calculate the thickness by measuring the resistance of a square of known size) and light scattering off the surface are the most common.
Equality of outcome can only be obtained through tyranny. Or perhaps at some point in the future by surrendering to a benevolent super AI.

Neither scenario is appealing.
> i tried out lots of operating systems: raspbian, ubuntu-mate, ubuntu core, windows iot, fedora, etc. i needed a lightweight x windows environment, a decent package manager, and modern linux kernel,

There are plenty of distros that are that. There are plenty of ARM, and embedded distros that are focused on being modular (you only pay for what you use) and maximize RAM. Your use case does not sound niche or unique.

That's a huge amount for small linux distros.

I read his memo, the Wired article explaining his poor interpretation of existing science, the Quora article explaining his poor interpretation of existing science, and the recent Gizmodo article about the lawsuit. I glanced at your twitter link; once I saw it was about his lawsuit I shifted gears to the root of the issue.

I thought Damore's comment in footnote 9, when discussing compensation in the workplace, that "Considering women spend more money than men" was particularly insightful ;) /s

"The problem is, the science in Damore’s memo is still very much in play, and his analysis of its implications is at best politically naive and at worst dangerous"

https://gizmodo.com/lets-be-very-clear-about-what-happened-t...

"But despite the legal gymnastics of Damore’s attorneys, getting fired for his memo wasn’t discrimination, and it certainly wasn’t censorship. As Google CEO Sundar Pichai said at the time of the memo’s circulation, it violated the company’s policies, perpetuating sexist ideologies. Damore disclosed to his non-male colleagues that he believes that they are predisposed to being worse at their jobs than males. Former Google engineer Yonatan Zunger sums it up nicely in this line from his blog post responding to Damore’s memo: “You have just created a textbook hostile workplace environment.” In a workplace, you can’t say whatever you’d like without consequences—violating a company’s code of conduct is grounds for firing."

"TL;DR: Yes, men and women are biologically different — which doesn’t mean what the author thinks it does. The article perniciously misrepresents the nature and significance of known sex differences to advance what appears to be a covert alt-right agenda."
This statement would hold water if the primary source of revenue wasn't EC2.
> If putting economists in charge somehow curtails monopolies, externalised costs, tragedies of the commons and boom and bust business cycles then someone really should sit down and get that news out there. Nothing I've heard suggests economists outperform a healthy democratic process.

You think those concepts came out of democracy popping a macroeconomics book out of a vote?
Ask HN: Remote work for my pregnant wife?
My wife quit her job to have a baby, but she'd like to do some part-time work 2-3 days a week. She used to run an online B2B store for a large tech company, and is familiar with databases and some scripting. She'd like to do something that isn't as mind-numbing as mechanical turk, but that she doesn't have to obsess over when she's done working. Also, she doesn't want to work for me :)

I know this is a long shot, but I figured HN might have some interesting ideas. Thanks!
OK... but I never claimed the US to be a "libertarian paradise", either. Neither the US nor Singapore could be, by any stretch of imagination, accurately deemed "libertarian paradises".
Then they should be honest, explain the situation and torture people at home with their own specialists immediately and not fly to them to some country with questionable torturing skills.

Reading and talking to people are generally the best ones. I've learned about conditions in other industries by talking to friends who work in them and also reading articles in more measured publications (I would take anything on e.g. huffpost with a big grain of salt, or a Vox blog for that matter, to say nothing of Fox News or other cable/radio sources :o).

So maybe step 0 is: find people who know about them, before you can do the talking and reading. The New Yorker is my general go-to for measured introductions to new domains: the authors biases are fairly simple to spot when relevant (leftish-intellectual-in-US-terms) and the level of detail is usually high.

Sadly, I don't have a ton more at hand, other than one rule that I'd highly recommend to use as a filter: if you get the feeling the person is trying to make you angry, find something else. Polemics are rarely the best way to be introduced to a topic.
Actually what would have been interesting to talk about is whether a company would be run better if agreeableness would be handled as a bias for the managers/salaries and thought about consciously. But this shouldn't be a male vs female thing.

Doesn't "issued" mean sold? Didn't they get $450M in dollars for them? Or did they just give the USDT to themselves or something?
How are the big players in cryptocurrency not pushing back on this? It has potential to take down the entire ecosystem.
What makes you think this would be a property of the crypto instrument itself, and not of the entire concept of entirely unregulated trading in purely speculative virtual currencies? The people starting cryptocurrency projects don't even need to be aware of manipulation, let alone desirous of it, to have the "shitcoin/buttcoin" property. Any set of traders in any instrument can manipulate it.
> Every material ultimately has a fatigue limit; there's nothing you can stress indefinitely without it eventually breaking.

That's not entirely true, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue_limit

"Ferrous alloys and titanium alloys have a distinct limit, an amplitude below which there appears to be no number of cycles that will cause failure."
Sure, but you can't accuse him of doing this unless he actually makes these arguments.

Doing so equates to the same fallacy that intelligent design adherents make, which is that since evolution yields ugly, selfish behavior, it must be wrong, or at least we should keep our mouths shut abou tit. Peterson is just pointing out how things are, not how we should design our policies.

I think he should probably be more responsible in qualifying his statements to prevent his simple minded followers from jumping to the wrong conclusions, but that's about as strong of an indictment as I think one could make against him, at least in this context.

Apart from the cloak-and-dagger tone, this either says something obvious—that HN is moderated—or says nothing.
This is not about profit but about being opaque and dishonest in their business practices.

parse_mappings is incorrect. It has the following line:

Vec::<usize>::from_raw_parts(capacity_ptr, size, capacity);

But size is wrong. size here is the number of bytes that JavaScript instructed Rust to allocate. It's not the size of the Vec::<usize>.

This should be harmless as the resulting Vec is immediately deallocated, so the only thing that size is used for is deinitializing values, and since the values are usize there's nothing to deinitialize. But it's still technically incorrect.

Hand Gesture controls bother me. I see all these fancy implementations enabling hand gestures such as the Google ATAP project called Soli [1], but none of these replace haptical feedback. One of the major aspects of any haptical human-to-machine interface is feedback and robustness. When you turn a high quality 30 indent encoder from Alps [2] or avionics grade Elma encoder [3]; you'll realize the value of haptic feedback. There is a reason why cockpits are full of knobs and dials, although unfortunately, that's changing due to highly integrated multi-function glass instruments.

Problem with hand gestures is robustness. Theramins (hand gesture based music instrument) are cool, but they take forever to master and I am not saying they are trying to replace pianos, but let's just say - iPad pianos are not fun precisely because of the lack of feedback.

I really think gesture based controls are inferior. They have no place in my living room, my car or anywhere in my life.

That said, I think the implementation of hand gesture based systems as pointed out in this article are truly interesting. It is a challenging problem.
