Does QE end when they stop buying or does it end when they have normalized their balance sheet?

They are nowhere close to doing the latter (~$5 trillion to go):

Returning the balance sheet to historically normal levels marks the end of the increased market participation, so I think it's the better definition.
> I'm not saying Beats are great, but they get picked on for reasons

The reasons are that anytime they're [rightfully] critisized in any way, a horde of obvious Beats purchasers comes and defends why it was reasonable for them to spend $350 on a pair of headphones with similar sound quality to a $50 pair from a different brand. They'll never admit they bought them for the name or the fashion appeal, they'll always claim that they "sound amazing," and pull up some irreverent review from Vice or similar saying that Beats are passable. If people just admitted that they don't give a shit about sound quality and want to look cool to their friends then I don't think it would have become such a meme.
Have you ever worked in a large corporation? Many of us who have, are convinced that without massive state interference on their behalf they couldn't survive at all. A corporation might be set up so that one sort of regularly-needed thing might happen quickly and efficiently, but every other sort of thing requires massive coordination among non-cooperative parties. Shit takes forever. Large firms are quite concerned with getting just the regulations they want, not no regulations at all. Fortunately for them we have a society in which they are well-placed to designate exactly those regulations they desire.

There is a term, "economy of scale", that makes a certain sense when applied to some factory-based manufacture of commodities. Rather than be restricted to that particular field in which it is valid, this term is a shibboleth used by Economist writers and their dupes to hamper any critical examination of anything a corporation might do.

Fuck react. I have tried so many times to pick it up and run with it - but every time it just gets more confusing and absurd. I have never come across a technology like this before, with such ridiculous & obscure surface area and changing implementation.

I mention this because to the casual observer (or hiring manager) it would appear as unwillingness. But the reality is: not everything can be learned equally. some people get react in a way they've never gotten anything else before. I get that, because that's what Rails is for me.

People have limits - React is one of mine. Which is unfortunate given its popularity.
Hi there,

Like many, I have stumbled on tons of articles on the blockchain. Some very good, some not so good.
But I never stumbled on some easy blockchain simulator where I could try things out.

So if you are like me, and you don't like being told things as much as you like coming to the conclusion yourself then you really need to give blockchaincalm a chance.

thanks,... and any feedback is good feedback
I went down the rabbit hole one day when discussing how certificates work. To me trust was a vague concept considering what was at stake. I ended up at Auditors but even then it feels odd that so much trust comes down to a few people.And even worse those auditors use computers that use certificates of companies they audit.

I used to work in a casino and Compliance/Regulator (a type of audit) would check the settings I input. After much employee churn it got to the point where the regulator was just a warm body with a clipboard. I'd enter a setting say jackpot limit $1,200, the auditor asked me to show him, they checked it off. But the regulator used my copy of the data so they were telling me what I had input was right but they were using the exact same data. The regulator should have used a separate source of data (they used to), what if my data was wrong? It's happened before many times.

Anyway that's what CA auditors reminded me of.

I agree that when people say "that's racist" there isn't much substance, if any. I also support this fund and am having trouble finding any real arguments against it in this whole thread - indeed, a lot of people just say "that's racist" and move on.

I applaud asking for actual arguments, I just really hate all the arguments that are about what the words racism, racist, sexism, sexist, etc. mean.
> I use SVN for most of my personal projects, because no one else is contributing. (Only one branch. In fact, I have never branched in SVN.)

Same here, I have used the SVN + Trac combination for my personal projects for almost 12 years now, it isn’t broken for me so why should I ever think of fixing it?
Thus is wrong: you can not commit locally means that the commit cannot be local to any checkout. You can perfectly have /some/directory on your computer be the CVSROOT.
It does produce dependence if taken often enough.

However, compared to the harm caused by illicit opioids (or even prescription opioids) doesn’t this seem like a low priority?

So someone is spending $100 or $200 per month on their kratom. They aren’t committing crimes to pay for it, they aren’t overdosing and dying in the street and they aren’t getting diseases by sharing needles.

It doesn’t seem like a major health cocern.

Kind of like tobacco without the second hand smoke or lung cancer. Sure it would be better if people didn’t do it, but that’s true of a lot of things.
My understanding was that kratom was more useful for harm reduction, rather than curing addiction, as it's still addictive but much less harmful than heroin.

It's similar to vaping or nicotine gum in that respect.
I haven no experience with TensorFlow.js. That said, using the RoboSat ONNX model exporter (rs export) you should be able to go from a trained PyTorch model to a portable ONNX protobuf, then from there to a TensorFlow model, and eventually to TensorFlow.js. At least that's how I would approach it. Keep me posted if you look into it and get it working, interesting use-case for sure.
So because some people are idiots others should have to suffer? Kratom literally saved my life. I was hopelessly addicted to opioids and went from shooting heroin to ingesting plant matter. I agree that the opiate naive shouldn't stupidly throw themselves into opiate addiction but the idea that because some people can't handle themselves I should have to suffer is ridiculous.
For me it was my personal projects that made me switch to git. I was tired of maintaining a SVN server just for myself.

With git you don't need a server at all, your full repository is locally stored and you can just back it up like you do everything else.

Justification makes sense when you can hyphenate words, that way you can pack more letters, otherwise the whole word would break into the next line.
Even if you don't apply for a change in status according to this:
Sam is a software engineer. His employer sponsors him for a green card—but is then acquired by another firm. USCIS denies the petition, saying there is insufficient proof the new employer can continue the sponsorship in the shoes of the old employer. Sam now faces deportation.

This administration's views is not merely that there are too many illegal immigrants, it's that there are too many legal immigrants. And there are not too many white immigrants, as the chief executive asked out loud why we don't have more Norwegians coming into the country. The policy trend is very clearly white nationalism. But this is completely consistent with someone who vocalized his racism for decades before running for president, and for five years accusing the man who would become his predecessor of being an immigrant and therefore an illegitimate president.

I owe it to intellectual curiosity as a lifelong learner, by accumulating skills and building upon them, and having time to think about problems. With the light speed innovation of business, finance and tech these days, the breaks actually gave me time to catch up. It was much harder to do this working heads down. I was an early user of Coursera and edX as well.

26, I was about your age when starting out full time. If you're feeling locked out locally you might consider moving if you can, I sent my resume to companies across the country until it finally landed somewhere decent which also helped with the search. Resulted in a move to Texas from California for a bit and was worth it.
Sounds like you have a cheap, low-quality monitor.
Yeah, and I do see that my comment ends up being yet another comment that's not about the article. I guess I could've focused less on the "using 'racism' incorrectly" and more on the "come on, what are the actual disadvantages to this fund".
> Of course there are a lot of legal addictives - like a whole range of mood altering drugs like Xanax, Prozac, etc. - which are far worse long term.

I’m not quite sure it’s fair to lump all those drugs under addictive... Xanax is a benzodiazepine, but Prozac is an SSRI. Both can cause withdrawal symptoms if you stop too quickly, but neither are really classified as addictive.

Some of these drugs also profoundly impact people’s lives for the positive as well as actually save lives from severe depression. The constant idea that these drugs are somehow dangerous does much more harm than good to those who need it.

For some reason people have no issue with drugs like Nexium for heartburn (which can also cause dependence) but if it’s a drug that effects your brain... it’s labeled as evil.

And to clarify, addictive substances are not defined simply as something that causes withdrawal. Lots of things cause withdrawal... Tylenol can cause rebound headaches, heartburn medicine can cause intensified heartburn, etc. True addictives on the other hand also cause reward and reinforcement behavior. The strong reward stimulus effects molecular transcription factors that result in reinforcement behavior, which drives the addiction (not fear of withdrawal)

It also makes me wonder about the interview questions they talk about in the article.

If they asked the kids, “Do you think you were hurting the robot?” I think most kids would interpret this as a leading question (especially after getting caught and taken aside).

I’d guess they’d answer yes because they think it’s the answer they’re supposed to say and they think they’re in trouble.

No it can potentially ensure integrity between the a client and the first TLS hop that’s about it.

You don’t know which client it actually came from and you can’t ensure integrity within the transaction flow of your app.

Say the request terminated at a LB proxy then passed through and API gateway into an MQ then goes through multiple servers you need some form of integrity checking for the request and OAUTH 2.0 doesn’t provide it.
Could you help me understand why it's a problem that your account data would be in the hands of the police?

I would have thought the reason for the raid was to collect physical evidence and that whatever the German equivalent to FinCEN[1] is could just pull anyone's financial records up anytime.

Is it simply fear of being targeted? It's not a crime to donate is it?

There's a neo-prohabitionist streak that most boomers (which most politicians are and also most voters) have. Consuming any mind altering substance that isn't culturally ingrained (i.e. alcohol or tobacco) is morally wrong, and therefore should be regulated and banned if possible.

A lot of them seem to be under the impression that if recreational drugs were legal, everybody would spend their waking hours high and no work would ever get done. My boss recently claimed that they shouldn't legalise recreational cannabis because everyone would be high all the time, yet somehow people manage to avoid being drunk all the time, or at least most of us do.
Off the top of my head:

1. slow to load the main screen

2. slow to resume a video

3. quality is very low, both streaming and downloaded

4. many videos cannot be downloaded

5. sometimes the playback won't start and I have to force stop the app.

6. the app cannot be minimized to a window

7. seeking is slow and buggy

8. many shows have only old series, for example, expanse

These comparisons are with youtube. All in all, it feels like a single sprint effort to me. Guess they are spending all their money on content.

I think the article is quite right, and David Graeber made a similar observation when he talks about bullshit jobs (companies would rather hire someone to tapeduct the system rather than redesign it).

But I feel part of the problem is that the companies want to rather hire a plumber (I mean, software engineer) than to buy an off-the-shelf solution. It seems to me that off-the-shelf solutions are very costly and many companies think they can do it cheaper if they build it themselves. Which to me sounds like that the market is not functioning properly, for whatever reason.
> 2) it verbally protested. Which is the big thing they were stressing in the episode.

I think this is key, kids tend to test where the limits go. They will push farther and farther until they are told they have passed the limit of acceptable behavior. I have kids and I know that just telling them 'no' may not always be enough, but it's a start.

I've used org-mode with inline code a few times now, and it is terribly expressive and useful when you want to show reports with "live" results in them, etc.

That said when it came to formatting my Emacs init file, with descriptions, and justifications, I chose to use markdown:

https://github.com/skx/dotfiles/blob/master/.emacs.d/init.md

Markdown allows text, and code, to be mixed, and while there is no inline expansion support or other neat features it is minimal enough that it was painless to write and process.

You're overthinking it. ArenaNet is a business. She was their employee. This relationship is voluntary on both sides.

If she behaves in a manner which undermines their interests, they have every right to terminate the relationship.

The person she blew up on is a streamer with significant exposure to their target market. If she wasn't mixing "work talk" into her personal account and the disagreement was not related to work, I think it would be a different story, but that isn't what happened.
I don't find the maintenance burdensome. I keep my software up to date, including Git, so this isn't an argument against SVN. And I run a weekly backup script that first checks the integrity of the repositories. (This check was motivated by a hard drive failure which caused a small amount of data loss. Git probably would have helped in this case, but now I think I'm good.) I haven't done much anything else specifically for SVN in the past 5 years.
They will take all their jobs!
It's not just another opioid - mitragynine doesn't recruit beta-arrestin, the pathway associated with tolerance build up and side effects like respiratory depression.

I'm certainly not convinced it does cause dependence, especially not to the same degree as most opioids. As a sample size of 1, I was always able to stop taking kratom without suffering any kind of withdrawal, and there are plenty of other similar anecdotes on reddit (to be fair, there are plenty that do talk of cold-like symptoms when stopping it)
The stance of the CSU has always been to be the right most party in Bavaria. The AfD is their enemy for fishing votes at the right end if the spectrum that the CSU regards as their own.

I think the key concept here is Moravec’s Paradox. People believing in the "AI is whatever hasn't been done yet" quip are moving the goalpost in the definition.

Consider speech recognition. Obviously an AI problem solved, right? Except, the AI problem and what the current solutions are solving are two different things. The AI problem is understanding and appropriately reacting to spoken words, as if a human was on the other end. Current implementations are glorified pattern matchers run over clever hashes of sound recordings. There is no understanding happening, there are no concepts forming within the machine (and the understanding is not back-fed into pattern matcher to correct the sensory input on the fly). The difficult parts, the ones that make speech an AI problem, have been entirely sidestepped with mathematical tricks. It sort of works, but its scope is nowhere near the original AI problem.

Similar analysis can be made for anything that is mentioned with the "no longer AI" quip. Can a DNN recognize a hot dog? Sort of, for some definition of "hot dog", only if input images are clear and similar enough to the training set. It's a cute trick, and you can make a business out of it if you control enough of the environment around the system, but it's still nowhere near what we mean when thinking about AI recognizing objects.
Closer to 2.5g-3g Fiber.

The major effect isn’t how much fiber, but that the sugar is trapped in a matrix of fiber and water. Your digestive system has to tear away the outer layers to get to the sugar, this slows the absorption of the sugar and reduces the glycemic index.

In juice the matrix has been mechanically separated so the glycemic effect is almost exactly the same as eating ten spoonfuls of white sugar.

As another longtime fan (with an apartment full of Squeezeboxen) I was reflecting on how Slim Devices's main competitors at the time, Sonos and Roku are still around whereas Slim is a ghost in the Logitech graveyard.

I've only used Squeezebox and Roku pivoted to video so I can't compare there, but was Sonos' unhackable yet easier to set up approach better, or could Slim have improved their product more to compete in some way?

To Logitech's credit they are continuing to keep the server updated, but it does seem like the big obstacles in the long run will be keeping it integrated with an evolving world of streaming and podcasts.

>Really, carrying 50 pounds most of the day or lifting 200 pounds off the ground and moving to is reasonable for most physically fit people.

What I try to get across is that this is not some army backpack and paraphernalia.

We're talking going in extreme heat (Egypt!), with sandals on your feet, and with 20+ people coordinating to pull a 2.5 ton rock (with some larger rocks going up to 6 tons). And then somehow pull it up, up to 400+ feet.

And even for the army, most of them having to carry 200 pounds for any extended period will end up royally fucked up after a few hours of this, much less entire years of working on such projects for hours every day...
