That's a lot if they're talking about truly naked shorts. The only way I can see a number like this and think it's not a complete disaster is that these aren't really naked shorts. I can certainly see a situation where the natural longs that TSLA employees have via options and RSUs can get hedged secretly though a bank, and that shows up as a short in the market.

You certainly see OPA replacing IB -- I personally know several examples, though some HPC vendors now seem to be making it difficult to buy. It has a fairly healthy showing at top500, considering it hasn't been widely available for long. I know the Mellanox propaganda, and have some experience of it, along with promises of help to make it work that evaporated.

I can't remember where to look for OPA's features to help MPI implementation, but someone else might be able to comment.

With regard to firing grad students:

I think it is quite rare to see grad students fired. Typically there are two strategies to get rid of a graduate student:

1) Just graduate them (either with a masters or with a undeserved PhD)

2) Make their lives miserable so they quit.

I don't think switching the source of funding for graduate to the department really prevents either of these from happening.
There are more constructive ways to make your point. You're right that men are part of the problem. That also makes them part of the solution. By using rhetoric that alienates men who can be swayed either way you perpetuate the problem you are trying to solve.

I think a good example of how to approach this issue constructively is found in the civil rights movement. The messaging in the civil rights movement wasn't: white people are doing bad things. It was: black people deserve the same treatment as everyone else. One of those messages alienates people, the other unites everyone in a common cause.

Similarly, a more constructive way of viewing the current sexual harassment issue would be something like: here are some things women experience in the workplace that we can all agree are wrong, and men have an important role to play in both not engaging in these actions and in dissuading their colleagues from engaging in them when they occur.

Obviously, nobody can predict the future, but the whole point of talking about what's likely to happen is to make reasoned guesses based on the best available data and economic models.

The nature of a hedge, in particular, is that you do it before a market downturn, not after. Once the market has dropped, you want to unwind that hedge, which in the case of gold or Bitcoin means selling. If you look at gold's performance during recessions since we unlinked it from the dollar, it's as likely to decline as rise. That makes it a poor hedge against recession.

In terms of supply and demand, it's true that supply is constrained, but that's only half the equation. Demand is extremely volatile, as there's no inherent "consumption" of crypto currencies (aside from lost wallets and other breakage), not is there any production occuring that requires btc to continue. The demand is entirely composed of people buying it with the expectation of a future sale at a higher price... that's speculative demand, and it's not a stable or dependable type of demand.
Well, sometimes it's going to be that little guy, but not always. You can also, for example, try to skim off the moves of big institutional players, whose activity frequently moves prices, by trying to get in there and be the one who reaps the benefit of that price shift. The ultimate seller maybe gets a little bit less than they might have, and the ultimate buyer maybe pays a little bit less, and there's maybe a small gap in between those prices that reflects the trader's take.

I do agree that there can be nooks and crannies with ample room for small players on the equity options market. I'm just not convinced that someone who thinks they have the skills (and guts) to reap a reliable reward in that space should be going straight to Robinhood without at least submitting an application to Citadel first.

Some of the Biologists I work with love R. I had one tell me that its like how they think, and they weren't a python fan.

I think R-Studio (an R based IDE that turns it kinda into a more excel like experience) where you can inspect the data in memory (including matrix data) and graph making is where it really helps bring people into the R language. And with a set of instructions anyone can go load the analysis packages and do their data analysis.

Compare this to python, where they have to go the unix shell set up the environment, load the libraries. When they come back reset everything and get back to where they started.

For sure!

And I think that a massive increase of storage will make transmission much easier, by allowing us to time-shift transmission—at the expense of efficiency.

1. generate solar power during the day in Nevada and store it nearby

2. trickle it cross-country at night—when the grid is under-utilized—to distributed storage facilities, where demand will be higher the next day

3. use it the next day, or store and forward again

That way, long-distance transmission won't need the same massive upgrades—high-temp superconductors! megatons of copper! 7-figure transformers!—as if we had to use the solar power right away.
> Ask your health insurance company for a list of covered providers.

This was going to be my advice. There's probably a directory on the website, for instance: https://www.aetna.com/dsepublic

Call a few of them, see if their specialties match your needs, ask if/when they have appointments available.

Do you also ascribe to “the climate is always changing?”

The rate of change, the billions of people who will be affected, and the incredible expense will make our impact a bit more painful.

At this point, I think the best solution is to get the federal government out of flood insurance, etc and let private citizens, and state governments deal with disaster relief.

Everyone can argue with their insurance companies about climate change, as their premiums increase every few years.

Second this. Pandas / Numpy / Numba until I hand off to ggplot, lmer, or whatever specialized R package.
I read a very detailed book around 2001 on climate change. The title escapes me now. The book laid out just how badly in the crap we are, and the main takeaway was that drastic changes to our lifestyles are the only hope for preventing climate change with disastrous consequences. No such change is evident yet. Even efforts like the Paris accord etc are like sticking our heads in the sand compared to the level of change that's required. Personally I'd advocate for population control, but it's deeply unfashionable politically to have something like a one child policy. So instead we give people the freedom to breed at will, and our ever growing population guarantees problems ahead. Still if humanity does disappear life will no doubt continue.
>>If I attempted to buy an ice cream cone with Bitcoin, will the money be transferred before the ice cream melts?

The transfer is instant. To get a guarantee of settlement takes 6 confirmation, or about one hour, which is much quicker than the 6 weeks it takes for a credit card transaction to become irreversible. Unless you're purchasing something like a house, you don't need the payment to settle to complete the purchase, with either cryptocurrency or credit card payments.

Ethereum's confirmations take 15 seconds, to Bitcoin's 10 minutes, and you need about 12 to have a virtual guarantee of irreversibility.

Only the large-cap cryptocurrencies can provide a high assurance of irreversible payments:

>>What costs more, the transaction fees or the ice cream cone?

In (small-block) Bitcoin, at any reasonable level of adoption, the transaction fee, which is why small transactions could only be economical using an off-chain protocol like the Lightning Network, which has been in development for several years and is still largely unproven as a full substitute for regular Bitcoin transactions.

Bitcoin (Cash) guarantees low fees into the future as a result of a high maximum block size. With Bitcoin Cash, there is a higher risk of settled transactions being reversed with a 51% attack, given it has only 10% of the hashrate of (small-block) Bitcoin.

Ethereum's transaction fees are currently much lower than the cost of an ice cream, but that wouldn't persist with higher levels of adoption. That could change once it implements sharding, with promises to increase maximum transaction throughput 100X, or has the sub-chain plasma protocol deployed, which potentially enables virtually infinite scaling.

Because it's harder to do it in a complicated formal way than simply do it in the most straightforward way. If a type of mistake happens only very rarely and is typically easy to detect, it's almost certainly not a good idea to worry about it. You pay each time you express something using the more complicated formalism, and each time you work on parts that somehow have to deal with the more complicated artifact, and only every Nth time there is a marginal gain from using it.

Data caps are not about quality of service. Data caps are about getting people who need more data to pay more money for it, so that the service provider doesn't have to increase the cost of every customer's data plan. Instead, only the customers who need more data will pay more. The increased cost is a cost of doing business, but they have to get the money somehow. They chose to only increase some people's costs versus increasing everyone's costs. This is what they mean by "fair pricing".
There's an infinite supply, but there's non-zero cost associated with accessing incremental units in that supply. (And some would say diamonds are an artificially constrained market anyway.) With crypto, there's arguably an unlimited supply at zero cost.

Yes a couple of years ago I did this project where I needed to get a ton of analysis done, typically with plots and tables as output. Did this in python and it was this huge mess with pandas and matplotlib. Re-did it in R with data.table and ggplot2 and it was just ridiculously easier, and I could expand upon the code much more easily, plus the output was much prettier.
I recently helped a techy friend with this and there were a number of pitfalls when dealing with the addresses and the long confirmation timed. The UTXOs abstraction is super unintuitive. Ethereum's account system is much simpler.

It was enormously effective. Forty years, in half a dozen countries. Forty years in which the rest of the world saw the Wirtschaftswunder from the ashes of Western Europe and Japan, decolonialization, the end of legally mandated racism in the US (on top of its own post-war economic and population boom). We got party meetings and retransmissions of Vremya on Friday nights. It still worked without anyone (statistically) going to the Kolyma, sunny or otherwise, without the voronki roaming the streets every night.

Even if we can't agree how or why, it's on us to always think about it in the hope it might in some small way prevent it from happening again. In the places that we left or the places we came to.
I don't think replacing politicians with scientists and engineers is really the solution here. We will always need the interpersonal skills that politicians bring to the table. However, these politicians should really employ more scientists and engineers as advisers. Most of the nitty gritty policy is currently handled by aides. These aides should have more training in evidence-based policy.

But you can't, without onboard video, anyway. Anybody wanting to steal or vandalize a scooter won't do so on one for which they are (or just were) an active renter.

by locking the devices the likelihood of them falling or being in the way is low

I don't get that at all. All locking does is prevents unpaid usage as a scooter; it doesn't prevent theft, vandalism, or bad acts with it (e.g. piling a bunch of them in the CEO's driveway as a protest).

What is needlessly complex about length, nrow, and dim and why would they ever give you the wrong thing? length always gives the length of an object, i.e. the number of elements in it[1]. nrow will always give the number of rows, and dim will always give the dimensions e.g. for a data.frame with 3 rows and 4 columns dim(df) is (3, 4).

Even that isn't quite it - this is not a case of people accidentally downloading and running malicious containers.

People are leaving kubernetes/docker/whatever open to the world, and attackers are instructing their servers to download and run these containers.

The complaint is that Docker Hub is hosting the attack code for the attackers. They could have hosted it on their own custom registry server if they wanted. (But why bother if you can just host it on Docker Hub.) In the same vein, they could use GitHub to host their attack code. Or they could put in in an S3 bucket...
