I also work in the exchange space like you used to and my thinking is pretty much fully aligned with the way you pose the issue and I'm very excited about your intention behind Dharma. I also agree with your current thoughts on approaching KYC and AML (please see my post in response to this one's parent). I'll reach out to you via your website if you don't mind since HN doesn't have PMs, would love to figure out if there's a way I can contribute.

Try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renunciation_of_citizenship

TL;DR: You could renounce your US citizenship for free before 2010. Then it when up to $450. In 2014 the fee was raise to $2,350.

On top of the fee is the exit tax wherein you may be required to pay a tax on the entirety of any gains on your assets as if you had sold them all that day. And, further, if they think you are renouncing to avoid taxes they claim that you must continue to pay taxes for 10 years after you renounce.
The force from air resistance at a given velocity will be the same on the 1 cm lead ball and the 1 cm wood ball because they have the same shape and size. The acceleration from air resistance is the force divided by the mass, and so the 1 cm lead ball has much less acceleration from air resistance than does the 1 cm wood ball.

As you note, the acceleration due to gravity is the same on both balls.

The net acceleration, therefore, is larger for the 1 cm lead ball than for the 1 cm wood ball, and so the lead ball falls faster.

The difference in acceleration between the lead ball and the wood ball might not be large enough to easily see if you just drop them a couple meters.

Try a ping pong ball and a lead ball of the same diameter (4 cm). That lead ball would weigh 372 g. A ping pong ball is 2.7 g. At a given velocity, the acceleration from air resistance would be almost 140 times greater on the ping pong ball than on the lead ball. That should greatly reduce the height you need to drop from in order to see the difference.
It is at least science, in that sense that they've repeated the experiment faithfully and obtained results at least as useful as the original Eagleworks experiment.

Unsurprisingly and anticlimactically, they obtained the same results.

This simply underscores the need for high power testing.

Additionally, they need to also test in orbit/microgravity.

Same as anything else in software: I considered the pros and cons, and made a choice to go a particular route.

It will show up in the query, as noted in the documentation.

> What if you use positional indexing instead of column names in your application (it performs better in many systems) and the column order is changed?

Then you will have a bug. Don't use both at the same time.

Read the documentation. If order is not guaranteed, do not assume it will always be the same.

> Syntax like this is fine for ad hoc queries, but not in a query that's part of an application.

It's my money, I'll* decide what belongs in my application and what doesn't.

You are speculating.

It's really easy to see that lots of reasons that aren't directly due to the program could have caused the changes. It could have been as simple as an expectation change amongst the parents, upon joining the program; how their children will perform better and therefore they did or it could have been the parents in the neighborhood most engaged in their children having a better life and when the opportunity to join the program became available they joined.

Stuff like this is notoriously difficult to prove, but I'm hopeful and glad to see research is being done.

Only in the minds of children. Utopias never work because corruption, greed and ignorance bring tyranny, fear and misery.

Progress is also a populist myth to wish away human nature, and the forces of nature, like some flu that will subside. Technology, communication and economics can make it seem plausible by increasing accountability when people maybe watching,
however technological, technique and social “progress” are destroyed often, not just the Dark Ages: pyramid building, Antikythera device, Nepenthe, Silphium (extinct). Also, sometimes people forget about how good were features of something which came before but are now missing because the “new is supposed to always progres over the old,” even when it doesn’t. Finally, socialization and education cannot miracle away the possibility of one human murdering another for no discernible reason. People are mostly irrational,
unpredictable animals still stuck in antropocentric delusions of superiority.

If you want peace, prepare for war. is explainable because life is about gaining,
controlling and defending the most resources for the least risk. If one could invade a pacifist country containing a quadrillion dollars of value, every country would.

Unlike other vehicles, Tesla is uniquely positioned to address more corner cases over time through over-the-air software updates, and it continually does so to improve factors such as stopping distance,

I'm sorry, but that is complete bullshit. Emergency braking isn't "a corner case", it is one of the primary use-cases of a braking system. Such a statement shows a blatant disregard for the intelligence of their customers, it is shocking.
Fair market value is not defined uniquely in one off transactions. It's very possible that what happens in both nations is a fair market price. If this is true it then becomes natural to ask how we, the taxpayer, can get a better deal like they do in Europe.

I have made the experience that merely anything in life has shades of grey. It causes a lot of cognitive dissonance for me. For most people, including me, it is thus easier to simply stick to one particular world view. At least for a certain time.

So as a smart person, either you are some sort of “schizophrenic” or you ignore some facts and possible interpretations and stick firmly to one side of the coin. Both is difficult
Is Estonia the Suburb of Finland?
I'm not fear mongering at all. I was there for like 3-4 days and had upwards of 3 encounters with people attempting to separate and rob my group on the metro.

That is insane. I'm not like some country bumpkin either, I am from New Orleans and so was my entire group. We didn't get robbed because we had to become physically aggressive with these groups of people and get in shoving matches and shit. It was ridiculous.

I have never experienced so much rampant theft in my life and I am fairly well traveled.

There are beautiful sights in Barcelona, but I doubt I will ever go back because it is completely lawless.

I have had gun fights happen right outside my house in New Orleans, almost everyone I know was mugged at some point growing up, there was an attempted rape in my driveway once, but it still has nothing on the volume of crime I witnessed in Barcelona.

Just read Tacitus account of German women being equal to men. Bachofen did the studies on the history of the decline of the female power in the greek cultures, related to the downfall of the importance of agriculture.
Also Egypt and Carthage had a lot of female rulers and queens, which didn't happen in Greece or Rome.

This. Doing “physical” SSS means shooting rays stochastically into the medium (skin, milk, marble) and having them bounce around inside, emerging at a random location, but more likely close to where it entered.

Not being able to supply one's own arms doesn't mean one doesn't buy them, just that they cost more and that one's leverage in alliances is greatly reduced. This is the situation many countries have been in, vis-a-vis the US -- Germany and Britain and Egypt and so many others -- for decades.

There are other countries out there who've thought through this problem. It's unlikely Russia depends on anyone for arms. I'm sure Israel is able to supply much its own munitions -- perhaps the US will end up buying from them.

My bank send me a "Secure Cisco Message". That I think was In response to a web message support request. They didn't tell me in what form to accept the response.

It was a message with instructions to save the .html attachment to your hard drive and open it there. It included tons of obfuscated Javascript.

Without opening the message I replied back and told them "Nope. We're not going to communicate this way, this is irresponsible and dangerous."
One key thing that's always left out of these instructions is that you can't throw the same arc with both hands. This causes the balls to collide mid-air if your throws are too consistent. This was very frustrating for me when I was first learning. You have to move your hands side to side a little, throwing when your hand is closer to your center and catching when your hand is further from your center.

How would you create triggers if you didn't create an SQL file with the trigger code, and running that at some point? And since it's in a file, wouldn't you check that into version control?

Or are you actually typing in triggers manually in the Postgres command line?
This is awesome. Great learning exercise as well. I wonder if this could be somehow tweaked to sounds more aesthetically pleasing.

If you look at the historical fed funds rate, it seems like they have repeatedly raised rates until markets crashed and then cranked them back in a panic.

I don't understand why they don't set the rate to approximately the current target (or actual) inflation rate and stop fiddling with it constantly. The instability seems completely unnecessary, like a bus driver who can't stop pressing down and letting off the gas over and over.

> I don't understand this sentence. All RSS client software is called aggregator

I'm trying to distinguish between (1) people using software the directly downloads the RSS feed from my website to their device and (2) people who use services that download the RSS feed to a server which can then serve a cached copy of the posts to many users. If everyone used (2), then I would only have my RSS file downloaded as many times as there are separate services, which is not very many. So apparently many people are doing (1), and if my feed is short then they are limited in the blog history they can read to how long they've personally been subscribed (or less, if they need to clear their device and can't re-download my old posts).

> Not really. Many websites which are essentially blogs are transforming themselves into single-page web apps

That's why I specified "But sites that can have an RSS feed...". If you have an RSS feed with useful posts in the feed, then you must be delivering static pages. (If you're just delivering snippets with links to a dynamic page, then there is no way for any service to cache the page either.) So my question is: why isn't there software to scrape webpages of blogs that offer an RSS feed with complete posts? This would enable me to comveneiently read post history going back more than 10 posts.

> And I suggest you look at your logs, because some silly bots might be consuming your bandwith along with your normal traffic; there are some that like RSS feeds.

All the bots put together make up 27% of my bandwidth. It's a lot, but it's not the root cause.

Not necessarily - rasterisation can suffer from "overdraw", which raytracing doesn't (although it has its own issues with acceleration structure requirements, especially where moving objects in the scene is concerned, so it's not a complete win).

One of the reasons VFX has moved to raytracing/pathtracing is that it copes with complexity a lot better in general (we're talking scenes with 500 million uninstanced triangles).

It also allows you to do much more accurate camera projections like spherical / fisheye (which could be useful for VR). Doing things like omni-directional spherical 3D projection in rasterisation requires tricks or warping in 2D, whereas it's pretty trivial to trace rays from the camera and do it completely accurately with raytracing.

>When I try to implement this sort of thing functionally it feels like a retrofit, and never as elegant as the simple imperative "do this, then this, then that".

Not sure what you mean by elegance. I am not interested in elegance. I am interested in the code being readable, many weeks from now. I am interested in the guarantee that there are no hidden dependencies in the code am looking into. I am interested in the guarantee that the code/computation wouldn't end up being a mud ball comprising of a dozen mutable variables and their transient state, that can go arbitrarily wrong in a million ways involving half a dozen loops, that cannot be examined in isolation. Those are the things I use Haskell for.

Also, I think a reason for the kind of difficulty you describe might be that a lack of fluency in the vocabulary of FP, which is things like maps, folds, zips, filters etc. Known these functions is one thing. Being fluent in their use by combining them is different.

The frequently encountered "Haskell is not readable" mindset stems from the fact that there are so many people, still somewhat new to Haskell, who know these functions, but are not fluent in their use and common patterns (which is a fact that is oblivious to them), try to read code written by people who are fluent in the same...
That's not completely true - at least in the VFX industry we've been doing brute-force SSS (with multiple scattering) for more than two years now in some cases. Yeah, it can be slow depending on the MFP, but it's usable...

Cheats like Dipole/Dwivedi are still used when they can be, but they often have artefacts and aren't completely correct, so they're starting to be avoided now.
What a stupid article. People should really cut down on trying to turn every single thing (silly ones at times, such as this) into a fallacy and getting a dopamine hit out of it...
Yup. Also, we maybe so dopamine sound-, color- & effects-addicted that we’ll subconsciously make any excuse to keep the glowing box neck hunched over. Even street signs to watch for oblivious pedestrians on smartphones, as well as signal-lit crosswalks so pedestrians never have to look up.

Not the OP but I did use triggers as suggested in the past. IME the issue is that DDL like triggers are transactional, so when you deploy them executing queries could be using a mix of old and new.

Granted, this is an issue for any system comprised of distributed components. Though I think the pain is more acute when it's the source of truth.

One way around is downtime or going all in on stored procedures for all work, or at least all writes.

The other wrinkle is that the trigger has to be rolled back when reverting code. And some shops are not diligent about maintaining down procedures. There is also the possiblity of rolling back migrations out of the order they were run, so you might not get back to a consistent state.
> I started writing compilers in order to speed up my game Empire (www.classicempire.com). Compilers turned out to be more interesting :-)
