"Opportunity zone" doesn't mean what you think it means.

E.g., there are census tracts in Cambridge/Somerville with six figure median incomes that are categorized as "opportunity zones". There are also a lot of census tracts in that area with much lower median incomes hiding an incredible amount of future earning potential (e.g. Harvard and MIT students, and esp. doctors doing their residencies at top hospitals).

Tax-free money flowing into those areas isn't going to help poor folk. It's going to fund the development of $3k/month luxury apartment buildings for housing young professionals who are priced out of buying anything, because billionaires are buying everything site-unseen in cash at $50k above asking. Don't believe me? Go on apartments.com and check out the rents/amenities of buildings that already exist in these "opportunity" zones.

And to be clear, I'm not super opposed to gentrification. However, I don't see any good reason why building luxury apartment buildings in some of the hottest rental markets in the country should be a tax-free activity.

If these were downtrodden areas starving for a cash infusion, this give-away of tax dollars might make more sense (although IMO is likely to do more harm than good). But you can be pretty damn sure that a sizable chunk of this money is going to flow into census tracts where not even a six figure salary can get you anywhere close to a down payment.

And even in areas that are legitimately run down, an influx of tax-free money competing with locals for housing stock is a good way to torpedo the sort of sustainable local wealth accumulation that happens when normal folk who live in the neighborhood are able to buy housing and storefronts.

So I'm very concerned for every area that is categorized as an opportunity zone, and pretty peeved that building luxury apartment buildings in fucking Cambridge is going to be a tax-free activity.

e: And I just looked around my home town in the midwest. There are big corn fields marked as opportunity zones, even though they're kind of out of the way and there are many other areas that would make a lot more sense to redevelop and where a capital infusion could actually create new opportunities. I happen to know the current owner of those tracts is a long-time supporter/donor to the current governor of that state. Unsurprisingly, turns out governors choose these "opportunity zones".

So, yeah, that's what this is: kickbacks to state-level political donors provided in the form of tax subsidies for billionaires (or at least millionaires).
s/price discrimination/market segmentation/

Price discrimination means posting a price, and then offering discounts/markups to different groups in the same timeframe to maximize profits (while also trying hard not destroying future profit potential - your customers need to not rebel).

Market segmentation is more around defining different products with different prices at different times. At any given time, the same people will pay the same price for the same product.

The book is good in general, I recommend it. Reading it and thinking it over lowered my background anxiety level by a noticeable amount.
The RWD LR model 3 was my go-to and the one I was considering.

With this change, they have now essentially replaced that model with one that has 50 mile less range.

Now the long range version looks so much less appealing as the price is now over $60k($5,000 more for entry LR) for an AWD upgrade I have absolute no use for.

What you say about them "winning" the trade is not accurate. If it were happening on an exchange, as in each of your three examples, the trade would show as being on that exchange, and I wouldn't know who the counterparty was. If the exchange is "Timber Hill", then IB chose to route the order there, which is internalization.
Eh, no. Genetic stuides show that South Asians are descendants of two major ancestral components, one restricted to South Asia (Ancestral South Indian) and the other component (Ancestral North Indian) more closely related to those in Central Asia, West Asia and Europe.

Sure, the Aryan Invasion/Migration theory is too simplistic but nevertheless, there is a clear dicotomy.

N.B. Ancestral South Indian and Ancestral North Indian are testing used in genetic studies to sidestep the use of loaded/controversial terms like Aryan and Dravidian.
A thing can be a design goal and minutiae at the same time. The design goal was to reduce accidental errors in code, particularly by the incautious and by learners. But for a practitioner who clearly understands the concept, the exact way in which you must accomplish an operation permitted by the concept is just "however the library wants you to do it" minutiae.
I suspect we'll see a correction. Often new technologies or interfaces get used for things that don't benefit from it or even make it worse. Then novelty wears off and over time we figure out what things work well and what things don't...

Touchscreens are better for some things, physical interfaces are better for others.
Why would you want to break them? A guy builds a company and then for some reason somebody who never helped build it thinks it's ok to break it into little parts?

I fully agree. Even though I don't own a touchbar MBP. I even choose to go with the older model because the touchbar could not be incorporated into my current workflow, even if it was great, as there is no separate keyboard with integrated touch bar (and frankly it would be to expensive if it was).
but that's one time transfer because there's nothing left to transfer. So, you really have to divide that by 20 or more years. so 500$ per head per year, really isn't that much.

Agreed. Systems and programs are basically the same thing, anyway. Anything you can say about a program, you can say about a system, and vice versa. The big difference is, you instrument a program, but you do not instrument a system. The system just exhibits the properties of the interaction of the programs, and expresses effects on them.

A comparison would be a computer system is like a biological ecosystem, whereas a program is like an individual biological entity. Much like biological systems, computer systems and programs are made up of small similar pieces that have defined functionality, and their interactions result in a system. Microbiology results in macrobiological systems, and macrobio results in ecosystems, etc. Program, system, whatever; it's turtles all the way down.

Also, this:

> we can also consider replacing the write-then-run program idea [..] with an incremental model where the programmer successively provides more detail about the desired behavior and a constraint solving system refines the behavior

So, like, test-driven Agile programming?

I am not invoking Godwin, but I happen to be reading a very interesting book on WWII that focuses largely on the industrial/logistical effort of the main actors. The coverage of Germany's industrial sectors, particularly the aeronautics companies like Messerschmitt, Junkers, etc. is a pretty good example. Looking deeper (read: other sources) shows a world where the political lean of the Order of the Day had massive influence on what products got made, which ideas were given attention and funding, and which people were either supported or blackballed. In 1930s Germany, the engineers and firms that maintained the proper signalling, or political tone, were given a wide berth in deciding what was relevant and irrelevant with little or no consideration for what worked and what did not. This is what sprang to mind when I read your comment.

This is literally a flag for "this thing is uncontroversial enough that we can display ads on it without the advertiser complaining". I don't see how this is a problem for a commercial enterprise that makes its money from advertising.

Reddit has already devolved into a forum for 15 year olds to post nonsense jokes. Those of us who knew how reddit used to be and still occasionally visit tend to stay away from the main subs and visit for very specific reasons.

We should make another forum-aggregator to replace reddit and it's terrible moderation system, but it probably just won't get big enough.

Where you are making a mistake is riskier investment have a risk premium. Further, you can offset capital gains with losses, and with a highly diversified portfolio the expected returns will be positive over time.

So, it's going to be rational with a 0 or 50% capital gains rate with some portion of your portfolio. Further, increasing capital gains makes it harder to keep up with inflation thus pushing people to make riskier investments.

PS: Try modeling a portfolio of bonds with different yields and risk premiums vs different tax rates including inflation.

I'm tired of the big tech alarmism. Nobody needs to break up any of these companies. Having power does not make a company evil.

You can ask legitimate questions about Amazon's treatment of employees. Boycott them if you're so inclined. Are they being paid fairly? Are they being exploited and over-worked? I think it's a conversation worth having. At least be sensible and call for regulations that address this in particular, not trying to break up Amazon entirely.

Google is guilty of what, exactly? Do you dislike how they treat you, the user, as the product? Change your Google privacy settings or better yet switch to Google alternatives (Protonmail, DuckDuckGo, Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, the like, YouTube is too useful to abandon).

All I see is a big push to vilify tech companies so politicians can look like they're for the little guy.

Take the recent Google internal vulnerability case. All of the sudden politicians come out of the woodwork, when public disclosure of this sort of thing was never an issue before. In reality, people doesn't seem to understand that enforced disclosure of internally discovered vulnerabilities will make more proactive actors look less secure than companies which aren't as rigorous (and have less to disclose).

If you very understandably don't trust Facebook with your data, simply get off it. Use Signal, SMS, email, Discord, Slack, anything else you want to talk to your friends and family.

I suppose telling people not to use Facebook, Instagram, or Google services doesn't have the same ring to it as tearing companies down though.

Edit: Changed nonsensical sentence about Google's vulnerability disclosure. Clarified.

Edit: Reclarified still nonsensical Google vulnerability disclosure paragraph.

Edit: Changed "more" to "less" in the disclosure paragraph. Third time's the charm.

Well they're already greatly offended by taxes and the idea that civilization requires money to run...

I think outside of being offended, you'd just have a hard to getting any agreements on what would qualify.
Sorry, to clarify the "(mandatory)" in the comment above, pg12 will be making CTEs optionally optimization fences, so people who want to hand-plan their query still can, but people who wish to use CTEs for organization and clarity will be able to do so without being forced to do so in a manner that matches performance needs.

I think being happy not having any query planner at all is a bit extreme, but there are times when queries need to be tuned to force early data culling or adherence to indexes, I find these times to ultimately be pretty rare and generally have to review all the instances of our manual optimization whenever we update postgres to see which ones the query planner can now do better. This change would still allow you to sidestep the query planner, but would also open up expressive CTEs to use in performance sensitive queries.

I took a graduate course on IoT development with a concentration on Bluetooth Mesh. My professor happened to be very enthusiastic and passionate about bluetooth. Apparently he started a meetup on IoT and IIoT. The meetup now has received alot of attention. Therefore, maybe take a class, attend a lecture, or search for a meetup. Perhaps reaching out to a university professor would be helpful in getting their perspective. Sounds like you need to grow your network.
Switching from Apple to Android Is Hard
Whitehouse is a civic platform available on iOS and Android that aims to become the primary solution to communicate with our elected officials in a near future. Typically, when people want to contact their local representatives, there are 3 steps :

1)Most people don't even know who are representing them, so they actually starting by searching on google.

2) Once they find some names they still need to collect their contact info.

3) And finally they are ready to send either an email or a postal mail (Yeah that still happens)

Whitehouse makes things simpler. It uses geolocation to accurately show you the elected officials serving near you. Just press a button to submit your question to one of them. A chat session will be created and you could both have a live conversation just like in Whatsapp.

Additionally, all discussions are publicly accessible ( third users have read access only) and an internal search engine is available to help users to discover if their concerns have already been discussed.

For those who live in California, Councilwoman Nancy Smith from Sunnyvale is one of the first elected officials that joined the Whitehouse community and will be happy to chat with residents about their issues. Another Councilwoman, Myra Maravilla from Hawaiian Gardens,CA is also available.

For those who live in Florida, Shevrin Jones, State Representative and Wayne Messam, Mayor of Miramar are available too.

But anyway, you just have to invite your local elected officials to join Whitehouse (they will need to register as Official by filling the in-app Form) and they could start to discuss with you in real time.

PS : Currently, only authentication via Twitter is supported. I am gonna add more auth options in the next versions. Voila.

Get Whitehouse for iOS : https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/whitehouse-for-iphone/id1414...

Get Whitehouse for Android : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whitehouse...

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or feedback.

This platform is ideal for activists and other political nerds that trying to make things change. So, no time to lose, make your voice heard !

There have been quite a number of recent studies into the use of light for medical/health purposes -- for example, using blue light for its antimicrobial effects[0], or various wavelengths of light for other healing effects[1,2]. Use of LED light for this purpose is often covered by insurance and has been developed & used by NASA[3].

Anecdotally, a family member of mine has one of those "led light therapy" systems[4]. Initially he was going to a local clinic to use one and ended up buying one of the packages for himself. I have seen person after person experience shockingly beneficial effects from using them (like people are saying "this is the first time I've slept without pain medication in years". From putting a pad covered in bright LEDs on them for 40 minutes. People are so skeptical, then suddenly their chronic pain issue is mitigated by simply sitting there.
