I like this format especially when starting a new project as it is fairly simple and easy to explain. Compared to other more sophisticated reporting concepts it isn't adding too much burden/overhead in the beginning when many things are still changing and goals+progress would be difficult to define and measure (OKRs).

I'm not super familiar with finance but this is a 'derivative' right? Is there a website where you can follow these types of large derivative investments? The type that gamble on market trends like this?

I'm curious what other types of things people are gambling large funds on. Or even large short positions...
Most CompSci programmes around the world are utterly bollocks and not worth the time investment from a learning perspective as you'll have to waste time on the tedious and unproductive coursework.

So the question really boils down to:

1. Do you want to work in academia? If so, get degrees.

2. Do you want a piece of paper showing you're a good cog in the machine? If so, get a degree.

3. Do you want to learn as much as possible? If so, skip the degrees and focus on learning.
You did not. You posted a poll asking "Hey, would you like to go shopping on sundays?", which for the huge majority of people is a different question from "Hey, would you like to work on sundays?".
"I drew an upward sloping curve and a downward sloping curve that meet in the middle, and therefore socialism cannot work."

The 2008 crash called for a massive reassessment of the political and cultural status of economics. It required honest economists to recognize their profession not as a neutral description of the world but as a tool for the powerful to exercise dominion over the rest of us. But "cognitive dissonance doesn't work like that", especially when doing so would mean giving up prestige, lucrative consulting opportunities, the ear of the government. For some reason, those other social sciences don't seem to get invited to nearly such lavish parties...

Of course, many people within and without the profession have been making this argument for decades, since way before 2008. But funny thing, the way power works is - those sort of people are never listened to. Why would that change now?

Edit: For a nice overview of these arguments I recommend the book "Economists and the Powerful" from 2012.
Modern embedded devices are more powerful that the computer I had on high school to play Defender of the Crown on the computer club.

Amstrad PCW 1512 vs ESP32.

If I could use high languages in MS-DOS when performance wasn't critical enough to warrant being written in Assembly, so can we in our modern embedded devices.

The exception being micro-controllers like PICs.
> How would you differentiate them from today's embedded devices? ;)

Intent and usage type. Minicomputers were still "general-purpose" computers, expected to run varying user code while embedded devices are more or less fixed-function.

From a more technical perspective, one difference is the expectation of (hard) real time control. While I have no doubt that some genius has put PDP-11 into industrial process control loop or something, generally UNIX (and C by extension) was not designed for real-time applications
I have and I don't give access to root to my software. Also on my linux computer I can patch the very same moment there is a vulnerability, on my phone I can only patch security fixes when the manufacturer wants and only usually for 1 or 2 years.

Also, have you really audited the code of xposed and xprivacy to see that there isn't any single security flaw that expose your whole phone?

Index funds are closer to 7% per year, I believe.
So... learning things brainwashes you to be liberal? Makes sense to me.
Safari still only runs as a low privileged user named “mobile”. Check out pwn2own and other previous full Safari to kernel exploits. It has always taken multiple bugs to get to the kernel for a number of reasons. This thing could be doing all of that, but bugs that legit exploit and crash the kernel are quite valuable and at a minimum jailbreak teams care a lot about bugs (sets of bugs, really) that do this! The author may have been fuzzing and found a true one bug DoS that has no utility beyond crashing Safari. They may not be aware of how cool what they found is, also. Regardless once it becomes public the hole is burned and Apple will fix it. Oh and th mobile user is sandboxes too. Apple has a thing called Seatbelt, check it out.
> In science you have the scientific method, control and experimental studies that can validate a hypothesis.

Astronomy, Cosmology, Epidemiology, Geology, Economics. You definitely can’t do experiments in cosmology and good luck with epidemiology or geology. Microeconomics is actually much, much more experimental than most of the rest of that list.
Since a year or two in entire EU using any electronic devices is completely allowed (except for a takeoff and landing but that's for security reasons in case of emergency) so I'm not sure where are you flying. I've been using my Momentums' without a single issue for few years now and I fly a lot.
Working at one of the top 5 members of that clearing house in Scandinavia, very few people I've spoken to about it at work earlier this week thinks he is actually bankrupt. He's filing for bankruptcy so that he won't have to cover his own loss.
It's probably worth noting that. CNET is part of CBS Interactive (CBS Corporation), and very much has a stableful of horses in this race.

A conflict of interest not noted in the article.
Carl Menger and Joseph Schumpeter! Two of them, and they didn’t utterly fuck up the foundations of their economic analysis by having a shitty labour theory of value.
We had/have a group like this in my city. It's kept to a minimum of interactions as it usually descends into war-story exchange quickly. It's a great way to open up some backchannels that might come in handy, but I didn't get anything more valuable out of it that reading some in-depth
blog articles wouldn't have given me.
I thought it’s the opposite. Idea isn’t the hard part. I’ve never seen ideas being said as the hard part.
Last week I attend a Meetup where the author of these benchmarks gave a talk about his experiments. While the goal is noble, the benchmark suffers from some serious problems:

- it's just a snapshot of the performance at one point in time

- the number of benchmarks is way too low to be statistically significant

- the benchmarks were invoked from a local PC, so the overhead tests did depend on the location of the author and the network he was connected to

- the benchmarks don't consider factors like AWS Lambda functions being powered by different types of EC2 instances

Because of these problems I wouldn't count on the results, but as the author himself points out, it might be a good starting point for constantly collecting benchmarks of Serverless providers:

> To improve quality and validity of this data, I want to create a service that continuously collects data by requesting serverless functions, every hour and every day and provide the recent data on a dedicated website. This will cause quiet some costs for the serverless requests, so if you or your company (talk to your boss!) wants to support me in collecting this data, I plan on setting up a Patreon or OpenCollective account for that. For now if you’re interested, just leave your mail here and I will contact you as soon as the project starts.
AIDS/HIV seems largely containable through PReP. I don’t know if long term pervasive but not universal use of PReP by those at risk would eventually lead to resistance to the medications used, though.

Malaria probably can be eliminated for single digit millions of dollars through gene drive against specific species of mosquitoes which carry it.

TB scares me, mainly due to high risk populations and XDR variants.
Yep. Hedonic treadmill. It’s a nice theory/observation to summarize this behavior. It is amusing to note despite having more, less, or almost zero dollars, it doesn’t seem to make folks much happier. Hmm.
The log suggests the device is doing everything correctly. The exploit webpage requires huge amounts of memory to render correctly. It is consuming all the available memory causing allocations for backboardd to fail. The kernel then starts killing off idle processes to free up memory.

I don't see a kernel panic there.
All the current and past iPad models come with 3.5mm headphone jack.

So I suppose Apple would just want you to buy an iPad as well! for your music production.

Future Developments in Operating Systems from a Cyber Forensics Investigator
So Good They Can't Ignore You
I’ve used my bluetooth headphones on all flights I’ve taken for the past few years, all of them in the EU.
I don’t hide it and I never had any trouble with it.
You know when I was young there was this whole profession of tv/radio repairmans. Swapping a headphone cable is exactly the sort of thing I imagine they would be perfectly fitted for doing.

But of course these days the whole concept of repairing things is completely bygone thing for most people, so yeah, maybe wireless headphones do make sense.
I charge my phone once a day. I have to charge my AirPods many times a day, and often have to play games where I take one out to charge it while relying on the other one, and then swap them later. (Note: I like them so much I tolerate this insanity gladly.)
It’s too late, but I found that the BLS has a decent histogram of pay: https://www.bls.gov/oes/2017/may/distribution.htm including broken out by industry.
I had to do a double-take. Satoshi and Peterson in the same sentence? One is famous for kickstarting decentralised currencies/markets/etc., and the other is famous for... Lobsters? Pronouns? [Saying that women shouldn't be allowed to wear makeup at work?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZrSrZpX5l8). Very strange that Cowen seems to think they're somehow comparable. [Unrelated](https://i.redd.it/w412971qqf011.png).
So, do you mean that the less wealthy people don't go for rent-seeking etc?

That's just bollocks. The system rewards innovation, not just that consistently and probably not that much. And people in all income classes behave the same way.
The thing that worries me about antiretroviral drugs is that they mess with mechanisms that are innate to the reproduction of cells.

Their effects can, e.g., be clearly seen in changes to the bone marrow, which IIRC has some of the fastest-reproducing cells in the human body.

We don't have long-term data yet on what this does to users of this drug.

My wife has to take such drugs as she has HIV, and I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up shaving a few years off her life expectancy. She's fine now, but who can predict the cumulative effects? Of course, since without the drugs her life expectancy would be drastically lower, she obviously takes them, and they are a godsend.

But I'm kinda waiting for the other shoe to drop.

What I'm saying is: it's great that we have this option, and it should be used where it makes sense. However don't think that this medication frees you from worry in the same way vaccinations typically do. The tradeoff is much different.
It's not linear. GCD haven't got traction (and billions of revenue) it might have now because of shutdown of some products like Reader. And that's oversimplified example actually.

People's minds are not linear, especially when they make decisions. The only market when you can do well with raw numbers only is cheapest 10%, when all competition is about price, and customers have zero loyalty whatsoever.
And more importantly it’s failures. Its a great book and has great commentary on the state of the industry at that time
You are describing a self regulating system. In your opinion the problem is that some people have too much money, so why do you see as a problem the fact that the system is actively working to transfer this money elsewhere?
Honestly I see it closer to civil disobedience, where people simply refuse to follow laws that they consider against their best interest. And I think it's hard to argue that it's working - like John Oliver said when 'talking' to the 90s, "we have stopped paying for our music, and we got away with it!".

I see your point though,and I'm slightly annoyed that you're downvoted for it.
Mostly Eurowings, Ryanair, TAP, Alitalia, Aegean, British Airways, Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, Iberia, Condor, Thomas Cook, Finnair.

I am yet to hear that I can turn Bluetooth on after the security debriefing and even though I fly regularly, so far just boarded like two flights where there was on-flight wlan available.
I didn't say all money, I said all government money.

People who wanted the training from universities would have to get regular bank loans to afford it, not subsidised student loans. This would mean only those who are likely to be able to pay the money back would be able to study at universities: doctors and architects would probably still go.
Rich people are a huge benefit of the system. Think of Elon Musk putting his wealth into SpaceX or Bill Gates into charity work. The fact that people who've demonstrated the ability to successfully manage capital investment and innovation get to control more resources is a positive feature.
> Needing to be alone after school or work is not quite the same as being alone 24/7 for months.

Yes that is a different kind of solitude, this is more of a distinction between people who are part of society but with minimal social interaction, and those who seek maximal interaction and have some kind of dysfunction without it (e.g depression).

I'm more part of the former group, I don't usually seek out social interaction but don't shun it either. I enjoy interesting conversations with people but I never feel lonely in their absence. I suspect this may have more to do with what else fills a persons life, rather than some deeper psychological difference (or some crude dichotomy such as introvert vs extrovert as many probably attribute it to).
Don't most security researchers wait until it is patched before posting the details of something like this?
How long did you assume you'd be living and how did you assume to store this value? Because if left on it's own, just 30 years from now these $2M will likely have much lower purchasing power (even if stored on savings account and even no black swan financial event happens during that time).
Will Apple ditch Lightning and switch to USB Type-C solve your problem?
And still, personal bankruptcy is waiting for him now. I'm curious what kind of impairment (none? or tilt or insomnia or worse?) lead him to be this reckless, that he could lose more than what he invested.
Rustcast #9 – Travis configuration for a Rust project: clippy and rustfmt
Never heard of Qwant before. How does it compare to duckduckgo and startpage?
Motion sickness is definitely strange.

I flew for the first time a few months ago (typical commercial flight) and when taking off while simultaneously making a turn, it felt like my stomach was in my shoes and really messed with me. Nothing was spinning but it felt very unpleasant and unsettling. It's now happened 3 times since then.

Laying way back in a dental chair also causes me to feel dizzy to the point where they always have to put me at a steeper angle, especially my neck / head.

When trying to fall asleep, I would say like 2% of the time I will get a weird feeling and I feel forced to sit up and find an object in the room to get oriented. That one is really crazy because it feels like things are spinning but it goes immediately away when I see anything in the room.

However, if I lay back on a floor I can deal with it for a few minutes, but I always feel dizzy when I get up. I also hate the feeling of having my head lower than my body too. Like laying half on a bed with my head near the floor. Doesn't make me dizzy but it feels like a massive amount of head rush pressure. I see people doing situps upside down, long handstands and being on those flip boards so I have to think what I feel is not normal. Not sure if it's all related.

I have no problems in cars, trains, boats, playing FPS games, bobbing cameras, etc.. I also enjoyed roller coasters but I haven't been on one in like 20 years so who knows now.
I don’t have numbers handy, but IIRC a startling number of Americans have never left the country. It’s prohibitively expensive and simply out of reach for many (most?) people.
The same advantages of you writing this post in English and not having to write it in Portuguese.
My opinion, state of things now:

1. Company registration - rules for company registration for all kinds of incentive zones keep changing monthly. That's insane.

2. Property protection: state has to give assurance that the 2009 style purge will not happen again

3. Personal safety - Shenzhen beats most cities in US on that, at the price of having a police post every 100m

4. Freedom of movement - you have to apply for 3 visas beforehand HK visa, China visa, Macau visa. APEC card works as a universal visa, but god know how one gets it. Last time I applied, the chamber of commerce said it is first time they heard of it.

5. Lifestyle - Shenzhen is one of world's most livable cities already, a head above of Silicon Valley

6. How much money you can make - not enough for somebody working in SV,or London already. A senior engineering cadre nets 25k-30k CNY per month. Cost of living, 7.5k CNY for a bachelor, even if you party hard. So, in the end you get around 3k usd to spare at current CNY price. I don't see much Americans, but for Eastern Europeans... 9 out 10 white people you see in factory districts speak Russian, or some other Slavic language. Lots of Indians, and Africans as well.
As I already said:

I refer back to what I wrote. You miss the point. Please, DO learn to not just read but also to comprehend what other people write, for everybody's benefit.

I wonder if anyone with a jackless iPhone compensates by carrying an iPod nano for listening to music with?
Clearly he couldn't. Not only that but the whole Nasdaq and other exchanges (mutual fund) struggled at doing that. Something is wrong.
MID$ still took a string as an argument, though, right?
1) Risk isn't black/white but a continuum.

2) Banks ARE in the business of risk, very much so. What are you talking about??? They make risky investments all the time! They just prefer 200 million over 100k because they've become too big to care about anything but mega-projects.
The point is that you want JavaScript to be seen as first class no matter what, because it fits the React Native story, even though it requires manually written FFI for the platform APIs.

Hey, by your definition even web pages are first class on mobile devices, as they don't require any form of external or third party runtime, maybe we can even call them native apps!

If JavaScript doesn't require any form of external or third party runtime, then why does React Native bundle JavaScriptCore?!?

Great for the long run, but they also have bad years. Global index funds also gave net 0% in the interval 2006 to 2012, since the financial crisis hit there.

Weighed up by good years giving far more than 7%, but one needs to have time.
It's like a car manufacturer removing the engine, because "they're striving for an EV future", they just don't know how to build an EV car yet, so now you get one with no engine at all. Shotgun gets a hand crank. Onwards, Mr. Flintstone.
Just a couple days ago, I was reading an article by David Brin called "Why Johnny Can't Code" (2016) [0] - where the author laments how difficult it was to find an accessible version of BASIC for his son to play with / learn on (they ended up buying a Commodore 64). Well, now the language runs on the web!

I wouldn't exaggerate the impact though. The financial impact to the derivative counterparties would be only by how much the market moved since their last collateral call. The impact of not being paid that movement on the ultimate consumers of these derivative shouldn't be huge. All it means is that they have a naked commodities, equity, interest rate or fx position when they were hedged before.

The systematic risk I assume must be more around the financial stability of the intermediaries who have large matched position but can't survive a large directional movement should there be a mismatch. I am thinking brokers, leveraged hedge funds or investment banks.
Interesting to know, as mentioned I never saw them being allowed.
I thought 20% time has been gone for years.
I'm not sure it's that simple.

E.g. with WiFi just throwing in more APs may actually make things worse. Better hardware is a way, but up to a certain extent, then you hit the ceiling and need a new technology. Like the only working solution for a noisy environment is to just forget about the 2.4GHz band and go to the wider and less busy 5GHz. My (uneducated) guess is this is somewhat similar for stuff like LTE, too.

I think there is a choice element around "free" as well. I think functional markets can be relatively free (and regulated) but they can also be not free (closed to certain actors, structured with elements of compulsion) and yet also be functional.

Efficient allocations are theoretical (in the sense of not computable within the lifetime of the universe on a real machine) when you move past a handful of actors and a handful of goods. Functional markets don't make efficient allocations - they make allocations that the actors can sustain.
