I think you're being unfair with your quotation there. The point they were making was that their system works over time, so whilst there can be temporary disjunctions on the long term the mechanism works, and therefore it's reasonable to expect parity to return which will help in the short term. If Basis were 95% of nominal value and you know that the algorithm ensures a return to 100% then actually you're incentivized to buy in, in the knowldge you can make profit lending liquidity. This may not be how it worked, but the idea that the predictable long term mechanism incentivizing short term behaviour isn't without merit.

I know nothing about Next Door but from reading the comments it seems like the problem is having this information in untrained hands.

I'd go with 'undisciplined' hands versus 'untrained' hands, while admitting I'm unsure of the best way to articulate the difference in a manner that is empathetic towards the desires of residents who just want to feel like they're safe on their block but also addresses a certain pragmatic reality of what happens when 'good intentions' results in a patrol car pulling up next to you in your own neighborhood.

The reasonable expectation of your neighbors would be to assume they're normal people like you, not necessarily that they be trained in surveillance, criminal profiling or tracking persons of interest but instead disciplined in their vigilance as thoughtful and watchful community members who act when there is something demonstrably out of the norm that could affect the neighborhood.

Again, not sure how I can best articulate that thought, or even what steps a community has to take to avoid everyone "narcing" on everyone else for boring, mundane behavior (say, like for instance, retreading your steps through the neighborhood after you lost your phone or some other item the night before) while still remaining active enough to do the right thing when you see someone you know isn't your neighbor picking up packages off someone's doorstep.
I’m sure that rule comes from the time when “void” didn’t exist, so functions were defined to return int, but nobody ever bothered to actually return anything.
And the important part about orbits is that wind resistance won't slow it down significantly. At a low orbit like the ISS it touches the atmosphere ever so slightly and needs a boost every now and then.
In a lot of these pictures, you could probably substitute a small paperback book. When I was growing up before cellphones, I knew a lot of people who would keep a small book with them that they would read in line or when at a a table.

That's not really the point the parent is making. The problem isn't using an unattended system performing the function of a security guard -- because nobody's arguing that security guards are a tantamount to a surveillance state. It's that a single company operating all of these autonomous security guards gives them, and anyone with power to compel them, a level of viability which simply didn't exist before.
> So it's ok for small companies to leak personal data?

The GDPR doesn't just require companies not to leak personal data, it's a huge complex regulatory framework designed to handle the megacorps it was passed to target and imposes unnecessarily high compliance costs, and those costs disproportionately affect smaller entities.

In particular, it is possible to have perfectly sound data protection practices that would never lead to leaking personal data, while still not being in compliance because they're not the specific ones required.

These specific unnecessarily complex rules or total anarchy is a false dichotomy.

As soon as the Windows installation menu requested to link a MS Live account to my Windows login, I thought "wtf, when did MS require having an online account to install Windows?", then I clicked whatever sub-link was there to create an offline user account instead.

It seems natural to me that they would try to log additional information about you and then store it "in the cloud" if you used an online account to login to Windows. Not only that but now they have a direct way to convert anonymous data into non-anonymous data through your MS Live details.
> Rather, the purpose is to surface relevant arguments so the committee can consider those arguments in their decisions.

And would you say that having one side flood the system with millions of fraudulent comments is conducive to this purpose? Before you object, yes it was overwhelmingly one side. FTA of the 14 organizations being investigated, 11 were anti-NN and only 3 are pro.

If what you say were true, all they should have had to do was submit their one comment with their best argument against net neutrality so that the committee could consider it. Surely their sound argument would be enough to win the day, right?

But that's not what they did, is it? Instead of submitting one argument, they tried to overload the system. It's almost as if they wanted to prevent the committee from considering the other side's argument, rather than presenting their own, isn't it? Does that sound like a healthy, functional democracy to you? Is that the sort of tactic that you would like to have deciding how our government is run?

I have some associated notes I've been thinking about for this. I haven't seen anyone articulate it, and I vaguely have an idea for a startup based on an opinionated guide to documentation, so I've held off on publishing until I know I'm ready to release it into the wild.

Making statements about immoral acts by the Chinese government is probably something that takes a little bit of secrecy, security and assurances in the modern era. I have to wonder if you understand the situation.
Sorry, I'm surprised how complacent everyone here is. Yes, the internet (and social networks in particular) have been able to democratize publishing and journalism like nothing comparable before - this is a good thing. BUT this advantage is being turned into a horrible disadvantage when that same publishing is causing people to lose touch with reality.

If the end result is that we'll get flooded with information, but most of it is meaningless noise then we will have less freedom than before because we cannot be sure the any information we perceive is trustworthy. You cannot seriously want this.
Bitcoin was cleverly set up as an deflationary currency to attract early adopters. Now, you and I (in line with mainstream economics) may think that a deflationary currency is a bad idea for a state, but there are a lot of people who don't, and it's not actually being used as a state currency anyway, so maybe it's OK.

Anyway, the point is that from the beginning bitcoin was set up to promise massive gains to early adopters, which helped gain traction. Your suggestion has nothing similar, so it's not clear why anyone would adopt it.

Really, it seems like you're promising hyper inflation (because of Moores law), which is something a lot of people flock to crypto to get away from, and nobody (even those who like a little inflation) thinks is a good idea.

Come'on I was taking a shot at dogmatic agile beliefs and Microsoft in one swing!

I mean to say that strict adherence to 'agile' without qualified engineers and management results in obvious features missing because the left hand isn't talking to the right hand. The jab at Microsoft is to imply they employ such a detrimental process because it's the only conceivable way to arrive at such a poor quality product.

I don't think Microsoft is engaging in what it believes is predatory behavior, I'm confident that someone in a suit somewhere is cooking up all these 'good ideas' about collecting 'metrics' and their underlings faithfully implement these 'good ideas.'

Their behavior is bad, I don't condone it. I also don't use Microsoft products (see username).

> That said, considering how widespread JavaScript is at this point, I think it is in their best interest to cater to more than one programming style.

No! Stop! Bolting 6 different programming paradigms into a language doesn’t make it easier to learn. It makes it harder, because every programmer who learns JavaScript needs to learn all of the tools of the language so they can read the code written by others.

More language features / paradigms make JS less accessible. It is a terrible idea if your goal is to help people learn JS.
> If it wasn't obvious, the explanation belongs in the project proper, where anyone who cares can see it

A lot of times, code comments may not be updated along with code changes, so they may not be accurate. A commit message is associated with a change at the time it was made.

> not tucked away in a commit message that may be hard to discover four or five years down the road.

The git blame command makes it pretty easy to see what commit introduced a line of code and it also makes it easy to see the context of the change (the rest of the diff).

> If it's a decision that impacts UI, the justification belongs in the project specs or docs, where people besides devs can find it

There's no reason that it can't be recorded in both places.

> If it's a strictly internal decision, like what algorithm you chose for a function's internals, you should explain why right there instead of hiding valuable knowledge in the commit message.

But let's say you want to make a change to the method and you have a comment explaining the change there. Now you make a change to the method and some other part of the code breaks. If you looked at the commit message instead, you can get an explanation and the context of the change (meaning the other parts of the code that relied on the original change you're looking at).
That's a nice idea but hard to make work, unless you know of some way to write automated tests and do regressions against docs.
You can't buy a naked call/put.

Naked, covered, and cash secured are terms used to describe how you are covering your downside when you are selling options.

When you buy an option, your downside is always the cash you spent on the option, so you don't have different types of purchases. When you buy you are just buying an option.

As for Robinhood, they don't allow for selling of naked options, only covered and cash secured.

That one is rather refreshing compared to the New Straitsville and Centralia fires, which were both directly attributable to some pretty blatant human stupidity. New Straitsville is attributed to arson by some strikers and Centralia was caused by an attempt at cleaning up a landfill situated in a former coal mine, an attempt that relied on methods worthy of Mr. Carlson from WKRP in Cincinnati.
The Russians are a good example.
I would say that. Most other tools have a "pull" dynamic where the user has made the decision to use them. Instead, while phones also have this dynamic, they also have a "push" dynamic where someone else, or even just an automated notification, can demand your attention.

The second noteworthy distinction is phones' ability to solve many different problems as well as provide many different willful distractions in a very accessible manner. A tool that can be both productive and entertaining requires a higher amount of willpower to use productively without succumbing to the desire to use it for entertainment.

Some of the most productive coding I've done has been in places where there was no internet to temp me with distractions.
My armchair / layperson issue with the subway infrastructure is that a lot of the issues around delays and especially the L train upgrades are related to antiquated signaling systems that seem to not at all acknowledge all of the updates to telecommunications that have been developed in the last 100 years.

This is one of those things that seems deep but really isn't, maybe a step above Banksy. I don't mean to imply that there aren't issues with our relationship with technology, but these photos are an awfully ham-fisted criticism. I read this article back when it was published and it's stuck with me because it provides a more nuanced and thoughtful view of our relationship with technology.

>Some people feel something is amiss in their relationships, and that technology is to blame. There's a move, cataloged in nearly every magazine, towards seeing the offline as authentic and the online as hollow, false, unreal. This may be a false distinction, digital dualism, as Nathan Jurgenson calls it, but it's a widespread reaction to the technologies at hand.

>The vision promises that if it weren't for all the damn new stuff (like watches), we'd all be sitting around sharing the parts of ourselves that we're ashamed of, supporting others in their most meaningful endeavors, and paying mind only to worthy causes and ideas.

>I refuse to accept that the only good response to an imperfect technology is to abandon it. We need more specific criticisms than the ever-present feeling that "'something's not right." What thing? Developing a political agenda to remake, improve, or forbid technologies requires some sort of rubric: how can I judge what I'm using? What are the deleterious impacts? How are they specific to these media and this time? Which effects are caused by the technologies and which are enabled by the technologies and which just happen to occur through the technologies? What are the ethics? What are the mechanics? What is the baseline?

I personally feel that the problem with most documentation is that it always focuses on the how/what. That will always decay and be wrong. The code is the only truth in the end.

The thing I suggest here is that if you are going to document the function, it should only be the WHY. The how can change and the documentation doesn't really decay. If you are making a new function you have to start with the why and if you can't then you shouldn't be adding a new interface. This also helps build a better picture of how the pieces interface together.

I wonder if there would be much of a market for the zero-G simulation plane experience, where they have faux-windows that are just ultra high-definition video of the Earth/space.

Though it would certainly lose the romantic notion of actually being in space.

Exactly. Prime Now is the Instacart killer with respect to Whole Foods, not Amazon Fresh.

In the SF store where they first rolled it out you could literally see them just set up shelves and fridges upstairs and duplicate Instacart's model. Except for two advantages:

(a) Free 2 hour delivery to Prime members / absolutely no fees apart from tip.

(b) Better inventory data. This is huge. It's directly integrated with WF's logistics backend. It radically lowers the missing item / substitution problem that is the source of the worst outcomes with Instacart.

Having said that, all the other grocers are freaking out about this so there may still be a growth opportunity for Instacart.

Okay, it seems like you don't understand the very basics.

A checking account holds 100% cash (dollars), not securities. That cash is insured by SIPC up to $250,000, just like the cash in your bank account is only insured up to $250,000.

Securities is things like stocks. Stocks are subject to significant gains, but also significant losses. That's the investment risk you have to take. There's no way around it. There can't be a government insurance against it. You can buy "insurance" against losses by purchasing options to sell at a specific price, or you can reduce risk by diversifying your portfolio.

I don't know the details of how securities are valued for recovery in the context of SIPC, but the point is that you will receive (parts of) your securities, not cash. Therefore, if for example you hold Microsoft stock at the time of bankruptcy of Robinhood, you are not entitled to be reimbursed any losses that may have occured as a result of Microsoft's stock price dropping in the meantime. Conversely, you do not owe any gains that the stock price may have made.

To seriously grow an industrial base in the US would require very open borders, a massive federal investment + subsidy and a complete elimination of tariffs.
