This is peanuts and the system worked as intended against single investors not able to clear. It's the systemic risk that causes large crashes.

Systemic risk comes from a instrument that creates instability and flies under the radar. You can't get solid statistics to estimate the risk for the system as a whole, but everybody is doing it. It's usuaully good idea in microlevel but when everybody does it for leverage, it becomes a systemic risk.

Today margin debt – investors borrow against their portfolios – creates liquidity out of nothing. Securities based loans (SBL's) aka "shadow margin" is the most likely suspect for the next market crash. Brokerage firms entered the leverage markets the same way insurance companies did in 2000's

When you have lots of assets, you can take a loan using them as collateral, typically 70-80 percent. That type leverage has provided massive profits in the last 10 years.

Property markets are also connected to shadow margin. Million dollar apartment in San Francisco allows investors to save their cake and eat it too. They bought property and invested in the markets at the same money.
When property values increase, there is more money to invest in stock markets. When the the value of stock portfolio increases, there is more money to invest in the stock market.

It goes up and up until there is perturbation that causes margin calls. Margin calls cause prices to drop and they lead to more margin calls and investors are forced to sell. Then enough people have to sell their properties to cause property values to drop and more margin calls follows.

When copyright was invented, there was no such thing as DRM and they still thought it was important to build in something called Fair Use rights. Those are totally out the window now. Nobody ever conceived that someone could distribute thousands of copies of a work to theater houses, and we'd all be walking around with portable recorders in our pockets.

I'd say that the law needs an update, but historically whenever that has happened, it has not gone at all in the direction I'd have liked.

The people who dreamed up Copyright laws never imagined that we'd come up with these ridiculous schemes where a content creator (copyright holder) can simultaneously distribute copies and not distribute them. They intended for it to be a limited protection, where copies would be permitted after some finite period of time, so that valuable cultural contributions would not be lost after 100 years when almost nobody cared anymore, except for a few librarians and some people who are yet to be born. But in 100 years, when Blu Ray discs are out of copyright, humans may not remember what a Blu Ray player was (or they could be centrally EOLed by fiat and you will not be able to play content from Blu Ray discs anymore, by some technical disabling) and still, without changes to the law as it currently stands, you will not be able to take a copy for preservation even if you had the technical means or wherewithal to know how to build it.

The law was never intended to be used to permanently restrict the sharing and flow of information.
I'm not knowledgeable about the engineering, but on the political side it's an attempt at integrating HK and Macau physically and make everybody understand it's now PRC land, quite overbearingly. There's been a crackdown on "disent" over there. The government also seems to be betting on pump money into giga-infrastructure (see Belt and Road Initiative) to keep slowing growth at bay.

Good lord, England is becoming like the US. I pity you.

I don’t think the world has reached your POV. Maybe it will. But hiring managers can weed through the crap. And for now hiring exgooglers is like the old saying that nobody gets fired for buying IBM. It’s a strong signal of capability because presumably google wouldn’t have employed you long if you weren’t hitting their objectives regardless of your role.
The original Ericsson Bluetooth development boards came with a CD full of documentation that included papers describing the effects of personal electronic equipment on avionics systems. They could have just asked you instead.
Not saying that this is a proper solution for everyone, but Bose does support listening to the same phone with two pairs of headphones. You would just have to pair them.

I agree that this would be useful to have at the OS level though!
Try designing a nonlinear filter ;)
It’s very convenient, but isn’t that scenario better covered by hibernating the os? That covers all app and doesn’t require any app to have special behaviour coded in
How much of this is due to media companies trying to eliminate analog audio and video outputs so as to better enforce DRM?
> Copyright includes the right to not distribute your work (IMO and under the law). Suppose person A takes an intimate digital photo of person B (with their consent). Person A does not offer to sell it to you. It’s still improper for you to take a digital copy.

That scenario has absolutely nothing to do with copyright law, and it is disingenuous of you to suggest otherwise.
Someone else mentioned"war stories" and I have definitely heard some. But I have found it to be stimulating and interesting conversation, with some different perspectives (for instance on hiring).

However, the best bang for the buck, in terms of strategic insight, is probably the email list.

I have a friend who took a job at a waiter at TGI Fridays and averaged $20 hr. He did that for 18 months part time and ended up raising a $11 Million seed round during that time.

According to him, he worked "20 hrs a week at TGI Fridays and 70 hours a week on my site".

He had the chance to work for another startup and he said he tried it as a contractor and it was the biggest mistake he ever made.

According to him - "getting away from working online is what made my ideas flourish. You have to take a break and get out in the world and somehow those little moments good ideas just start to happen".

That's one guys opinion - but he's a great guy that a great friend.

Living in Norway currently it is absolutely crazy to me so many electricity companies trading middlemen making money just by trading they don’t don’t produce or supply just pure middlemen. I heard of some scamming companies too. I just said no to a fixed price binding contract which would have been a disaster. Now I have the cheapest prices of the year so far! It is completely non Norwegian from my experience. Everything else is so monopolizes and controlled here.
One of the reasons that BASIC was such an effective beginners' language was that it often appeared at bootup, so all you needed to do was turn on your machine and type a couple of lines to run a program.

This isn't that, but withering comments from Dijkstra aside, BASIC is still a great introduction to programming, and this is a fantastic idea; it'll be great to run loads of old type-ins in the browser.

Could have done with a crisper font, though.

Actually this is why most of the hifi heads bought iPhones, 6s had the best DAC that you can buy for a reasonable price (less than 1000 USD). I have converted all my collection to ALAC just to be on the Apple platform and be able to listen to lossless on my phone. I also use a decent entry level hifi headphone (Focal Spark - wired) this is where my hearing still be able to identify differences. The entire setup was not too expensive and it had great performance. Now, if I try to have it with the recent iPhone offerings, it will be certainly more expensive and slightly shittier, and I can just convert my entire collection to mp3s because the system does not support it anyways. On the top of that, I was able to listen to my collection on my proper audio system at home before while right now I am not able to connect the phone to the amplifier anymore. So, to summarize, Apple offers my a way more expensive solution that makes me miss out on many aspects of listening lossless music. It is simply not worth it.
There of course isn't one global homosexual community, but SF public health and other targeted information is what I see the most of. It may be biased just because it's pretty well funded and relatively well executed, but as someone without particular interest in STDs, it's what I see the most information about.

Re: Hepatitis: https://www.cdc.gov/msmhealth/viral-hepatitis.htm

In general total number of infected persons is probably not as meaningful a metric in terms of transmission risk for a member of the population as rate per 100k or rate of new infections per year per 100k in a group. There are a lot more heterosexuals, non-IV-drug-users, and non-professional-sex-workers in the world. It's also possibly worth normalizing rates based on age cohort or number of sexual partners, relationship status, etc.; a monogamous gay couple of 20 years is essentially certainly of lower STD risk than a heterosexual with multiple new partners per year. But as a population, certain populations do tend to engage in a constellation of riskier behaviors, and have higher incidence of disease and of new infection.

Yes, the iPad Smart Connector offers a secure (wired) mobile keyboard, unlike Bluetooth.

You can also use wired Ethernet with iPad, the performance is unreal.
No, that's fine, and how things operated for years. Not sure how free lunch really helps attract more folks. However, that doesn't help with other infrastructure like the website, unless you want to ask organizers to pay out of their pocket.

You'd have to ask Miles (who commented above) why he made the switch to sponsorship.
Yes, but that's part of my point. You don't eat straight lecithin. Or high fructose corn syrup. You need a lot of other ingredients and a lot of processingto turn that corn into edible food products. That's one reason why it would be very challenging to double the number of calories we take in from corn — you would also need to double your production of all of that other stuff. I don't know all of the specifics, so I won't speculate on whether we could do that quickly, but if we were contemplating it we would need to make sure we had the infrastructure necessary to do all of that extra processing, and access to twice as many ingredients as we currently use.
This is obviously a long discussion, but in summary the world is changing and if one wants to have a say in that new world one can't pretend that it isn't happening. China is working on all fronts while the west is coming up with excuses why it doesn't matter.

Not to mention that with Ethernet (and wired power) the user is tethered to a fixed place, while with wired headphones on a cell phone the user can get up and move freely, since both ends of the wire are moving together.

So if I buy a DVD from Wal-Mart, should they also be forced to give me another copy of the DVD if mine gets scratched or lost? Or is it my responsibility to take care of the things I've purchased and keep them safe?
That looks really cool. Thanks for recommending it here!
Chrome performs similarly, if the flag enabling 'backdrop-filter' support is set.

The sequence of primes contains arithmetic progressions of any length

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green%E2%80%93Tao_theorem
From the abstract: "Our analysis leads to an algorithm that enables one to predict primes with high accuracy."

From my very, very basic understanding of/curiosity with primes, predicting primes with any sort of accuracy has been elusive. If this does, in fact, help to predict primes, it opens up all sorts of possibilities. That's my guess as to the importance of this article.
Exactly this. People don't realize that almost nobody needs better CPUs in the phones and almost everybody would benefit from higher capacity battery. If batteries were developing at the same pace as CPUs we would have batteries that last for years with a single charge. For me the ideal phone is iPhone 6s that does everything that I have ever wanted to do with a phone, and even more that I do not actually need. The only missing feature is a long lasting battery.
Cherry-picked details and facts can be intentionally misleading, and still be true. Facts can also easily be spun into almost any narrative, all the while still being technically true.
Airplane mode generally disables all wireless connections, including Bluetooth.

EDIT: researching it that could be just a "be safe" catch all though, and regulation might actually mean just cellular in some cases. No idea how a normal person is supposed to figure out what exactly applies to the current flight then.
Older iPhones with physical home button use that for restart.
No, not just because of the size. I’ve used that app on iOS (some time ago, on iOS 5-7), and as a user, I didn’t like the quality.

BTW I’ve wrote much more than 1 app in my life, I’ve been programming for living for 18 years already. Mostly desktop software, some mobile, videogames, and embedded. I haven’t developed web apps but I’ve interacted with many people who did, I think they have slightly different mindset, the areas are just too different.

What I think might have happened, FB hired people based on the criteria dictated by their main product, facebook.com web site, then told them to write that iOS app.
I think things are not that simply delineated, and the use of economics to justify existing political arrangements is well documented (eg in James Kwak's book Economism).
Oh man, I’ve been using my 6s all this time and forgot. Just when I was thinking about upgrading to the Xs, this thread is a reminder of why I’ve been holding off.

May do another year with the 6s.

This is the rub. With the removal of the jack, Apple is telling us that their phones are not [music/audio] creators' tools. Apparently it's their desire that creators use, what, iPad? Their ever-disappointing line of laptops? The outdated Mac Pro? I just don't know.

I do know that from the entire collection of screen sizes and hardware configuration options I'd like to choose my mode of creation, but Apple seems to think that telling me "iPhone is not a creation device" is Just Fine®.
It does. Your app will get killed. The OS will be fine.

My understanding is this bug uses up GPU memory/contexts, not normal system RAM, and that’s why it becomes an issue.
They are if you get them fresh. They are almost like coconut meat.
How did it happen that default funds of the clearing houses had to be accessed? Did the spread change in one day from normal spread to 17 times normal? Otherwise the margin should have depleted only his own money.

I worked at an airline two years ago on the rollout of inflight wifi and they advise customers to enable airplane mode and reenable wifi (if it's disabled). These days within aviation, "airplane mode" refers to disabling just of the cellular radios.

As for the discussion: I'd like to be able to enter a store, listening to music, with all my radios off. It is called airplane mode. Was removing 1 gbit ethernet from laptops a good idea?

I don't understand the appeal at all of headphones with no noise reduction. How does anyone use them in a noisy environment without setting the volume uncomfortably high?
This, I see people calling the removal of the headphone jack a colossal failure, but if phones are selling, then how can it be a failure?

People have a natural resistance to change, 20 years ago my city saw major protests when it wanted to close a road and open up to the river underneath it. It would be a colossal failure, naturally it wasn’t and today no one can imagine the town without the nice nature stuff.

I think the headphone jacks are in that category. They weren’t really great, and now that they are gone, only niches really miss them.

The AirPods are such a nice product. I mean, Apple basically made Bluetooth not suck. They are locked to the Apple ecosystem, but they connect seamlessly across your devices, and Apple has frankly once again embarrassed the rest of the tech sector by making age old technology actually useable for people who don’t want to fiddle around.

Now, if removing the headphone jack had been a failure, it would probably have come back, and everyone else, the one-plus included, probably wouldn’t be removing it.

I’m not for or against it by the way. The AirPods would’ve worked with the headphone jack. I just think calling it a failure or a fiasco is silly when it’s so obviously working out great.
interesting, I stand corrected. (see also edit above)

I decided last year to archive my old cassette recordings I made when I was younger, and those of local bands I havent seen elsewhere. The tape deck, pretty easy. A few thrift stores and I had a nice hifi model with dolby b, c, decent heads. Most had badly misaligned heads, deteriorated rollers, and broken drive belts at best. Even my better unit needed a full disassembly, cleaning, lube, 3 electrolytic capacitors replaced, and custom rollers made, and a 10 dollar belt kit. That is not even mentioning more routine maint like head cleaning, path demagnatisation, and media prep. Old tapes before 1980s often need to be baked or lubed to play properly without disintegrating in the works. And then you have Bias, NR, and Tape speeds to worry about. I found my old tascam ran at nearly 2x speed, and had unique head spacing, and 4 track simutanious recording, making it nessassary to repair it as well at signifigant cost.

It's not a scam, but you're correct that they don't produce anything physical. Their point is to mostly converge disparate markets. So if they notice a separation between day ahead and real time prices, they can make money off of that while helping to plug a hole in the market as that could be the result of bad data...etc. There is an on-going debate as to whether their involvement (most of the financial only players are banks) is really that helpful as it can cause other issues if they do a bad job and cause divergence.
