Suppose there is a new issue zero-coupon 10 year bond with par value of $1000. The price for that bond is roughly $750 which gives me a 6%/yr return at maturity.

I buy it, and the fed comes around 1 month later and decides they want to do QE. They decide the 10 year yield is what they want to target so they go on the market and start buying bonds. The price goes from $750 to $900 in a short time.

I can now take my bond I purchased for $750 and sell it for $900 if I desired — this is the same as returning my principal plus a few years of interest payments after having held the bond for just a few months.

The fed printed money and I directly benefited.

It doesn't have to be doing any of that. Just the time and money to have a lawyer review this letter and identify the actual obligations is already a significant burden. For example, notice that just replying with everything requested here would in itself potentially breach data protection law.

> Google pays 0% Australian tax (even though they profit from my country)

They don’t “profit from your country” - they have users who live in your country. Maybe it makes sense for those users to pay up to the government, but it’s crazy to say that you should have to pay taxes to a foreign government just because someone under that government uses your website.

In the long run, if this rhetoric you’re advocating is successful (that if you touch anything somehow related to a government over the internet then you owe them a cut and have to follow their local rules), you can say goodbye to the open, global internet. Companies will IP-restrict (or if that doesn’t convince the lawyers, government ID restrict) every single website.
The request themselfs are legit. E.g request 8 is aiming at the ISO 27001 which state that the information policy is to made public to stakeholders.

Request 9b is a bit tricky since the regulator have to be informed but not per se the data subject. Only if there is a risk for the data subject they have to be informed.

The letter is carefully worded itself. The parts the data subject does not have a direct right to know are friendly request (eg 4 vs 8b).

You can answer 8b just with one word: Yes. (Well or No)

The takeaway here:

If you give this letter to you technical personal you will get a detailed overview of the infrastructure they use.

If you give the same letter to your lawyer you would get a very polite letter with the bare minimum of information.

Example for 8b would be this: "We have technology in place which allows us with reasonable certainty to know whether or not you personal data has been disclosed"
Yes! The thing that ends up breaking in the squares and rectangles examples is mutability. Remember that math things are immutable by default. This thing is a square, and by definition also a rectangle, and since its properties and identity are immutable, that will always be true.

However, programming takes those immutable concepts and tends to make them mutable. So now we have a rectangle, and we can change its identity by, say, scaling its width. And it's obvious that scaling just the width of a square will make it no longer a square. So now a square cannot support the same operations that a rectangle can. So now a square is no longer Liskov-substitutable for a rectangle.

Just one point: there is no, “The US” as I’ve learned over time. The US is geographically vast, and full of hundreds of millions of people from wildly different backgrounds. Those poeple have politics ranging from Ghengis Khan, to Ghandi. They seem to agree, as a nation, on very little.

But then both are just a kind of polygon, with an arbitrary number of sides of arbitrary length.

At which point you really want a variable length list of Sides, each with a length property.

Or you want a series of points with relative coordinates, making the sides implicit.

Or or or...

What I take from it is that there is no one true object model, there is no universally "correct" way of solving the problem. An evolving understanding of the problem leads to an evolving solution that places different priorities on different attributes.

Is there any value provided to the system by making Square a specialisation of Rectangle? Is there value in being able to express a Square without a redundant attribute value? What is the tradeoff? And so on.

> Unless your program's goal is to ontologically categorize objects, #1 is a trap that will just bite you in the ass.

Strangely, ontological inheritance isn't even useful for that purpose. If you're organizing things ontologically, you certainly want to have runtime access to the relationships in your ontology, which means you should model things as data, not static class relationships (although reflection can turn static class relationships into data, it's a pretty hokey, indirect solution).
This. The overhead squat is the secret sauce. When I first started olympic weight lifting (I had already been hitting the gym for years) I had an olympic lifter teach me the move, b/c my squatting technique was so poor.

It should be the first thing anyone learns IMHO. It teaches flexibility, balance, a great range of motion, and to your point it feels really amazing. You almost never see anyone at the gym doing it though. Its definitely way underrated. My squat, vertical jump, and single leg strength went way up doing this. Not to mention it teaches great form for cleans and snatches.

> It's great if you are in debt.

Things are more complicated than this.

As the country acquires a history of inflation, all the debits become more expensive. Things get worse the longer and the more intense that history becomes.

Japan is spending some trust capital for forgiving their poorest people's debit. Once it is gone, they will have to pay "interest" on the lack of trust, and guess what parcel of the population pays for most of that "interest"?

Besides, most of the benefits from a high inflation don't go into that "debit pardoning" effect. They don't go into the government as a hidden tax either. At the same time, all the costs go into people that have to carry some non interest-paying money, that is, poor people and small business.
My brother-in-law was in the army in an Asian country, and whenever they had to wait (which was all the time) they would do so in a squatting position. You would see young civilian males (never females) doing it too while hanging around outside of a shop or at a bus stop. As they get older, it's harder, though.

Persons are always kind. It is people that do horrible things.

Our current education/career trajectories are completely incompatible with stable family creation. We’re going to need a serious re-arrangement of parenting responsibility if we want our population pyramid to stay upright.

One idea that might work is to give up on trying to get young people to use birth control. Everyone has a number of kids in their late teens/early 20s. Child-rearing would fall to the ((great) grand)parents, who are more financially/socially stable and potentially retired. This has a number of substantial benefits, including noticeably better medical outcomes for both mothers and children.

That's a new one. Immigration is "outsourced imperialism?" I don't see anyone, anywhere, espousing the rhetoric that Japan is primitive and morally repugnant and in dire need of civilizing through the import of foreign labor.

You do realize most immigrants to Japan are from the other Asian countries that it's been importing and exporting culture with for millennia, right? And that their "cultural distinctness" is the result of a great deal of Western influence already?

I suspect this is a proxy argument about European immigration because it always seems to be that when the issue of immigration into Japan comes up, the issue of "cultural distinctiveness" or ethnic purity is used to steer the conversation in that direction.

But Japan is under a far greater threat of becoming too "Chinese" than it will ever be of becoming too "European."
Given that your goal is to make toys, the tradeoffs of cryptocurrencies are unacceptable. The whole architecture of cryptocurrencies is based around extreme security and trust. Who needs that level of security for a toy? Why would I tolerate high fees, slow transactions, and a clunky user experience if the token isn't worth anything? Why would I use a globally-distributed power-guzzling network of thousands of GPUs to make something as silly as TallCoin? This has all the downside of cryptocurrencies with none of the upside.

Databases aren't trendy, but they'd solve the same problem better with less waste.
This subject reminds me of a funny moment in a trip a couple of years ago; I travelled to the Phillipines with a few friends; One of my friends (white) said "Asian squat" is not possible for white people. I shit myself laughing... he kept pointing out why and just sounded even more ridiculous! I did it and said "well surely black people can"; I asked him to try it (he's into sports and not sure how he can't do it) and he failed: "you see...It's difficult for me as a white man"; I kept laughing and he asked one of our Asian friends to do it and like me, she did easily. Suddenly another friend comes and asks what we are talking about; He's the whitest guy ever, english and not really much into sports as my white Mediterranean friend; He tries to do it first attempt and Baaam!

That was funny :)

Values should be immutable even in OO languages. A point’s x and y coordinates can’t be mutated because then it would be a different, just like a number’s value can’t be mutated. The question is then is a rectangle a value or an object? I would say no and then stack allocate it like any other value, recomputing it if a rect property ever changed.

The real world has both values and objects, any ideology that doesn’t acknowledge both is just fooling itself.

What keyboard issues? The symptoms described sound like a hardware problem.
> Doing a thread per connection is about the worst conceivable design for web acceleration.

A better statement here would be connections are serviced by a pool of workers. Event polling is used. A single worker can and does process tens of thousands of requests a second. Workers are used to get request parallelism across multiple cores. When a request blocks, that worker will work on another request. Varnish easily beats out pure event driven software in 99perc response times because of its worker pool designed. Very puzzling that you are claiming otherwise.

> going to be dropping performance on the floor vs other I/O models as you get into the 1000s of connections

I have done benchmarks with over 100,000 active connections a second, with a mix of blocked, slow, fast connections, cache hits, misses, and passes. Performance is great, ~100us response times, very low CPU utilization.

> So be prepared to do some deep systems work if you need high scalability out of Varnish.

Not at all. Once again, I did some benchmarks not too long ago and was able to get 100Gbit/sec using a stock Varnish + stock Linux. Response time was well under 1ms per request.

Hitting high levels of scale and performance is an IO problem, not really a CPU problem. A lot of the criticism here is misinformed and focused on CPU scheduling. Not a single mention about any of the IO optimizations used in Varnish and other competing products.

C - C is a portable assembler and it runs everywhere. Language semantics is relatively simple and easy to learn. It's the closest you get to hardware without learning asm for each architecture. If you want to get into systems programming or embedded programming learn it. You want to know basics of it's bastard offspring C++ too.

C, JS, Python and Java are very close to optimal. These four are very popular and together they cover almost every aspect in programming.

I agree with strong enforcement. Only then will people see the actual value of a parking spot and thus can it cover its own cost.

I don't understand the "there will never be enough" part. No one is saying there wont ever be any cases of double parking. But this discussion is about reducing its frequency to some acceptable threshold, something certainly possible. It will certainly cost, just like double parking does.

Something that changes over time is mutable. Time exists and we can’t escape it, even with time-indexed immutable data structures that implement explicit mutability. The only question is does the thing change internally (an object) or is it replaced with a new one (a value).
