> Can you explain what part of it doesn't really work? It seems kind of odd to ask for evidence of something which is a mathematical formula.

Counterexample: It turns out that planes can't fly! This is easily demonstrated by reference to the standard formula for calculating buoyancy, F = V x (d1 - d2) x g, where F is the force lifting the plane into the air, V is the volume of the plane, d1 is the density of air, d2 is the density of the plane, and g is the force of gravity. A moment's research shows that a Boeing 747 is heavier than the equivalent volume of air, meaning F will always be smaller than 1.

QED, planes can't fly. The fact I can hear one flying overhead right now is, I admit, evidence I may have missed some other factor, but we don't need evidence to evaluate the truth of mathematical formulas, right? :)

In other words: Just because something is A factor doesn't mean it's a relevant factor, or isn't overwhelmed by other factors. And we have zero (literally, zero) evidence that short selling is a factor in the ability of firms to raise funds, or in their cost of funds, once we control for other factors. And we have plenty of examples of firms targeted by short sellers who have raised funds on favourable terms.

> If they're wrong they push the price the opposite of the way it should be going and when the news comes it snaps even harder the other way.

Right, but again, on balance, this effect ends up being drowned out by other effects. You've made a great stab at an explanation for something that isn't really happening, so doesn't really need an explanation.

See the second link I posted. Even the most basic 3 functionalities are bad designed. If X is your input space and Y your output space then fit should (after each call) return a function X->Y and not modify some internal state.

Have you ever tried looked at the pipeline cross validation, where you have to pass a dict of parameters to the function with underscore prefixes for each stage in the pipeline? Do this and you never call the API design amazing again.

There are examples for other bad design choices as well.

You are right, there is no alternative at the moment. Maybe julia lang will do better job, we will see.
Idk, I spend more time installing drivers on a windows install than the entire install and config of most linux boxes. Sure there are gotchas, but honestly i geat nearly as many in windows, but don't spend my time fixing the issue because I literally can't, and just have to live with the problem, or use crude workarounds.
Likely, men get low paying jobs very often too. I would argue that this is similar to some other attributes found in studies; there is a higher standard deviation due to higher risk taking on part of men, since the lower limit of income is 0, there is a natural plateau but there is no maximum income to level off on, so the average/median will be skewed towards risk-taking.

At least, that seems to be a fairly rational explanation of the data.

Men get into a lot of horrible low end paying jobs too but if 1 out of 100 makes 100 million per year, it averages to 1 million per year.

And this is an example of a meta-misunderstanding that the motives for labeling crypto as non-exportable with clamorous pleas for backdoors to get the public frightened and then finally reassuringly concede to overwhelming defeat with the eventuality of the practical vision held by academia, industry, and especially prescient revolutionary anarchist-libertarians for ironclad strength of a ubiquitous crypto primitive monoculture praised for its open standards detailing specifically its applicability for hierarchical control, designed by a completely unbiased select group of security researchers whose proposals are judged to consensus, tweaked to optimal security parameters for the benefit of all with lovingly chosen constants that couldn't possibly be related to undisclosed attacks the previous standards that were replaced suffered from requiring update once a few undesirables got wind, who rightly espouse a fundamental belief in the professional exclusivity of implementation and analysis while making sure to mentor the next generation in extensive confidence with complexity conjectures based on buried assumptions, gently redirecting their pupils towards the future away from the glaring history of churned systems, compromised research, and perverse financial/legal/social incentives of keeping the ball rolling gently, are not just two sides of the same coin.

As the question right uses the word 'manage' the stress, the key is to managing it. Removing stress from our lives is not possible; we can only 'manage' it. How well we manage it is what leads to meaningful and peaceful life.

In my case, i began to feel stressed out last year. There was a lot of anxiety and stress for the kind of work i was doing. What began to surprise me was that the same kind of work that i have been doing for years began to create stress for me.

I began to reflect upon the what was causing it. By careful analysis, i realized that it was my ambition to stuff my day with a lot of near-impossible goals that created this stress. This tendency was also because of the overall ambition to achieve in 2 years which would otherwise take 5.
Therefore, my first response was to become realistic, accept that there is only this much that i can humanly attempt and accomplish. I began to de-clutter my to-do list and place only the most important tasks. This would allow me to do my work without the unnecessary stress.

I also began to follow a healthy lifestyle. Working chained to a desk and sitting in front of a computer is not healthy by any standard. So i would go for long walks, tune out and tune into something entirely different like reading a book or watching a film. I began to stand up from my desk every hour or so and took a stroll.

I began to wake up early and go for a walk. Morning walks can take away a lot of noise that surrounds our heads. I also began to do something that i would love to do and spend time on other than my work. So i would paint a little, learn to play a musical instrument, do a bit of gardening and spend time with friends.

Stress is a result of the same kind of work, over-ambitious schedule, and little care for yourself.

I revamped my life style, removed the noise and clutter and added healthy things vital for my health and well-being.

I hope this helps.
Not sure if you read the article, but he's more than down to play with women in group settings or public events. It just happens that 1. you tend to banter and joke as you play together 2. due to his popularity, any innocent interaction is clipped and made into a scandalous clickbait for profit by people online.

My first guess would be that git is going to be faster since it won't be doing a huge number of stat() calls and similar to grab metadata about the files it's creating, instead git will have the data in a single data structure it can efficiently ask for it from. Of course the filesystem has this too, but git will have it in a single location and probably more compactly, leaving it able to do it all with fewer reads. Then it has the data in the files compressed so the read is faster too. All this should mean that git can get to writing the files faster than cp will.
Yeah I know right. Just like how the invention of cars put all those rickshaw driver, horse breeders, horseshoe makers, hayrollers, cart makers, wheelwrights etc. all out of work.

> What you're leaving out, is that "voluntary" transactions have effects on third parties who do not consent

Sure, those are called externalities. I was simply explaining where the idea that trade generates value comes from. So, given that, generally we presume that trade is beneficial, unless/until someone points out an externality. Which, I certainly wouldn't make the case that there aren't any here, there are. But the way you argue against this activity is by pointing to specific externalities.

> I feel like there is a third issue that I have difficulty articulating, relating to the fact that people are bound to round small probabilities to zero, which means that there is an economy of scale to exploitative behavior.

I don't think what you're getting at has so much to do with probability rounding as it does with 'coordination problems' (http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.201...)

I have a few posts about Flutter and app development in general, but they were mostly just to blow off steam (content-light) and aren't exactly well thought out: https://nikhiljha.com/blog

I do plan to write a better comparison about the whole development lifecycle, performance, etc. later though.

I'd also like to urge you to reconsider dart. It feels kind of like a Kotlin-Java hybrid language, and I mean that in the best way possible. It's definitely familiar to anyone who has programmed OOP before, so it was really easy for me to get started with zero experience.

> One thing though -- looping through 5MB of JSON doesn't seem like something you should be doing...

I agree. I should get to fixing that.
Hang on, are you saying that people who drop off of / don't participate in social media aren't taking a stance? It certainly seems like one to me...

I rather use Qt and Xamarin for that purpose.

More mature, may target desktop OSes and use languages that are actually relevant in the market during the last 20 years.
I'm definitely not wrong. The description I gave is completely accurate. It, however, may not be complete. The broken window parable does not actually in any way negate what I said - the purchase of the window still makes both parties better off.
I'm trying to be as objective as possible. I've never been to China, but I've been to other communist country and the truth is I saw a lot of happy citizens there. While we can sit here and criticize other countries all day, but does it really matter if their own people are living happily there? We can argue and fight all day for the best policies, best technologies, best business ideas, etc. but at the end of the day what everyone is really looking for is just happiness. You can have the most money in the world and still be miserable, our world is already full of those people.

> the company pays 1000 dividends, and investors receive 1001 dividends.

You missed out the last part of that, which is "and investors pay 1 dividend". Investors as a class receive 1000 dividends on net. It all just nets out.

> If the company goes bust, all 1001 shares have lost their value.

And the person who sold a borrowed share will have gained money. The net change across the economy is the value of 1000 shares, not 1001 shares.

> If there's a shareholder lawsuit with a payout, there will be 1001 claims

This usually doesn't happen, but when it does, it's a paperwork error, and an artifact of the fairly archaic way share ownership is recorded in the US. It's not inherent to the system, and it doesn't tell you anything about how short selling works in principle.
What It's Like to Fall in Love Inside a Video Game
Mercurial is much easier to understand and use than git, and for the most part has feature parity with it. The only drawback was the decision to implement it in Python, which makes it very slow for large codebases with gigabytes in binary files. However, I'm given to understand that core performance parts are being re-implemented in C.
ISTR the details of the exploit have been reported, and relied on a known vulnerability which they had failed to patch, despite ample opportunity. I could be wrong, though.
Yeah they get dupes but they encourage them because they aggregate the information so that new information from one report fleshes out the missing information from other reports.

There is also an effort to bring flutter on the desktop.

I dabbled (briefly) in it, got flutter app running on windows + linux, though certain integration factors (smooth window resizing, stability, mouse wheel support, etc.) were not there yet.

For some of them (mouse wheel, keyboard, tabbing) there might be more work needed (and maybe not seen as important), but it could bring a real "electron" killer, where my slack, teams or whatever else "electron" app does not spawn 5 processes, and take GB of memory (granted, flutter still takes a lot, compared to leaner Qt, and much much leaner write directly using Win32), but then there are some sensible limits, and going below these (for the sake of perfection) doesn't buy you much nowadays (I no longer have to run QuarterDeck QEMM to shuffle my 640kb DOS+EMS memory efficiently around :))
I'm glad I'm not the only one that found this project fascinating (see my http://weeklyrobotics.com/weekly-robotics-4).

Don't know about Mickey or how corps are taxed on their assets but I assume they are taxed on what they gain from their assets. So if Disney makes $2 Billion a year from Mickey they are taxed on that.

Also, when Eminem dies, IRS will value his estate (mainly image rights, songs and copyrights) and send a bill for close to half of the value.

Is Flutter using native controls here, or are they drawing a copy of them by hand? I didn’t see a scroll bar in that demo, so I’m not sure. The rest of the stuff looked pretty good, though of course I’d need to actually physically try it to give it a final opinion rather than just rely on a GIF of someone interacting with it.

Those exact same dynamics have existed since humanity started forming groups and civilizations. Thaddeus Stevens was considered an extremist due to his views on slavery and many revolutions have been fought due to the gulf between two portions of society having grown too large to bridge.

Social media just makes those divides more readily apparent because people now have instant access to those they harshly disagree with. There's also a large amount of issues stemming from rational ignorance due to the sheer amount of data people are being bombarded with, and it's easy to often slip things past people's various filters depending on how you target them and their education levels.

It's GitLab, not MercurialLab. Hope they realize this and refuse to merge. I really like shared tooling and knowledge, so if Git dominates everywhere, all you have to do is learn git and that's it. It's a significant overhead to learn yet another VCS just because it is a little nicer. I hate wasted efforts.

As an aside, you also just opened a can of worms here.

Things that can be so 'easily' attributed to a given state actor can also then be used to try to frame said actor. Look at all the evidence, now obviously completely fake, that magically appeared when we wanted to 'prove' Iraq had WMD, even though they did not. For that matter look at the list of United States involvement in regime change [1] which is gradually turning into a novel. We make no secret, or at least declassification makes no secret, of overthrowing democratically elected governments, falsifying evidence to hurt sovereign nations, complicity to support of assassination of 'innocent' individuals, and lots of other great stuff.

I think people don't understand that propaganda doesn't mean some crackly speaker in a third world nation spewing daily praise for the divine leader. It comes and all shapes and forms, and the US is actively involved in domestic propaganda that ensures we never really appreciate all the awful things we do. In a way we, as in our intelligence agencies, are probably protected by their own impudence. Many of the things I'm listing even I have trouble believing we'd do, yet declassified documents and open acknowledgement make it complete and crystal clear that we do.

The point of this is not to say whether any party or another was involved in whatever event, but rather that trying to gauge things as an outsider based on the filtering of a news media which hungers both for clicks and war is unlikely to yield anything remotely resembling an educated opinion. We can even look to the history of Pussy Riot or this case as further examples. The victim here is not a member of Pussy Riot. His ex wife was a member. And the band themselves were not arrested for anything they said, but their behavior. They decided to stage a 'guerilla concert' inside a cathedral obviously completely against the wishes of the church and without their permission. They were charged with 'holliganism motivated by religious hatred' and sentenced to 2 years. They were released early on amnesty from the Russian duma/congress after serving most of their sentence. [2] Quite amazing what a different picture was spun by the media when all this was happening.

Assuming artists could predict demand and supply (versus spending time creating music), if they become popular, with this simplified logic they should only play large venues (which Live Nation controls) on back-to-back nights in primarily big cities. And if they were mainly concerned about money (which some are) then they'd only play the largest cities every year. There are only so many tour days in a year, how would they split their time?

That's not a music culture I'd want to be part of.
> Uhhh, how do you draw that conclusion? There are lots of browsers and they take literally zero time to learn. Comparing a browser to programming language or framework is apples and oranges.

So, Google just released a new pineapple, but because they tend to kill the orange trees, I'd rather not bother with the pineapple. Google Chrome is a Google product. A general fear/hesitance of using Google products should apply similarly to Chrome. Otherwise you're only validating my point.

> Google has effectively abandoned it with the way they've managed the project.

Our opinions differ, which is fine. I'll leave it there.

> I wouldn't learn Go or Kotlin either, honestly, as there are arguably lots of languages that do the same with less separation anxiety.

That's fair, there's lots of languages that do a lot of things. I often learn new languages because of promises to solve some existing pain points. Separation anxiety differs from person to person, and one has to weigh costs and benefits.
It makes it quite difficult to identify the origin. For example, in Skripal's case, we still don't know from where the Novichok came[1] or the assassins were Russians or not[2][3].

If you have can find a post I'd like to see it. I don't quite follow.

In what I am describing, the two "worlds" don't really separate. It is possible that they can interact, theoretically. However, you can't construct an experiment to detect the different parts of the wavefunction interacting because of decoherence. You just can not make a coherent quantum system that invovles real people (to my knowledge). So in practice you can not do the experiment.In anything we observe, the two resulting observers (in a measurement with two choices) are effectively isolated.

In other words, decoherence is automatic. Also, it is inherently irreversible.

But, I am sure he (or whoever wrote that post) is saying something sensible so I would be interested in seeing it.

Java and C++ for my hobby coding on the platform.

Both skills much more useful on contexts outside Android development.

If I would need to write cross platform mobile apps production code, I would rather go C++ for business logic with native views, Qt, Xamarin or if performance requirements aren't tight, PWAs.

Dart makes it unattractive to learn Flutter, given its past history.

And Kotlin it remains to be seen how well it will faire in the actual Java world, outside Android, where we can make use of the latest versions slowly picking features from the alternative languages.
