The RMS Empress of Ireland sinking on 29 May 1914, with over a thousand fatalities despite the changes made in response to the Titanic sinking, is almost forgotten. The day after the commission of inquiry concluded, Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated, and the events leading to WW1 began to dominate the news.

If the daily interest rate is 0.008 then the annualized rate is 2.92%, not 3%. The standard is to multiply by the number of periods, not to take compounding into the calculation.
> The reason was that USSR was years behind USA in cryogenic hydrogen-oxygen propulsion systems and simply could not create a compact and powerful enough engine that could be mounted on Buran.

Years are not that much. RD-0120 is a close cousin capabilities-wise to SSME. The size is also similar. No, Buran was separate from Energiya for other reasons - Glushko was eyeing a rocket useable for flights to the Moon and kept design decisions with that possible goal in mind.

> Basically, the whole Energia-Buran program was a good example of pointless wasting of enormous amount money and resources in USSR with no clear purpose just so that program managers and chief engineers could get state orders, privileges and money bonuses (the former two were worth more than any money in USSR).

That's a popular point of view. However, big as it is, Energiya-Buran project is still rather minor comparing to the whole size of the USSR state budget. The program also had side effect of developing technologies and advancing science. Many of results of that work survived and were used. I'd agree regarding lack of clear purpose, but disagree about having it as clear disadvantage. Sum of technologies has proven to have enabling effect - both in case of Energiya-Buran and in case of earlier space-related projects (e.g. project Suntan in USA).
I don't understand why public fields need the underscore prefix. Aren't all fields public by default? Why do you need to add a prefix to "hide" public fields?

Great summary @patio. I was just telling some friends about it..simple bank, offers 2% on checking with certain balances met, and I experienced similar to example above.
You'll know what it does if you're the author. But code is read much more often than it's written, and it's easier to spot bugs and understand what each line of code does without operator overloading. Operator overloading obscures what the actual code is doing. Because of this, it's is generally not used in kernels, virtual machines, etc.

As an example, if I give you this line of C++ code, and no other information (which would require further effort to determine, e.g. the types of identifiers), can you tell me if it's a function call, performs I/O, or does dynamic memory allocation?

auto C = A + B;
That's like saying "Apple is already the biggest company in the world, they have no motivation at all to keep making new, good products." Obviously they are under continuous threat of not being the marginal best.
Replace the pointer with a value type and now you'd see why the optional is necessary.

Similarly I'd probably substitute the optional with a variant that has the actual error code. Go nuts with whatever you want here.

This article is needlessly histrionic. Companies will patent anything they can just so they can have the patent and not somebody else. Jumping from that to "Amazon's plan to bring about a nightmarish dystopia" is a bit much.

Could this bring about a police state? Yes absolutely. But the technology is possible to build, so someone will build it, or at least patent it. There's no preventing the technology from existing.

We don't prevent a police state from happening by freaking out about the technology that enables it. We prevent it by voting for responsible leaders. So let's just assume that the technology for government oppression is going to exist and make sure we structure our government in such a way that it doesn't oppress us.
You'll probably run out of it's in the DHCP scope anyway.

In options maybe, not in equities. Bank of America doesn't, Vanguard doesn't, none of the firms I've worked at do. Bernie Madoff basically invented the "strategy" and most firms aren't exactly looking to emulate him.

The FSA (U.K. equivalent to the SEC) effectively banned the practice a few years ago (2010 maybe?) which curtailed the practice a lot. I'm not sure about other states but the Massachusetts AG's office started looking into it last year, too. Its essentially a kickback paid in exchange for information that allows the "smart money" institutional investors to front-run the "dumb money" retail investors.
Oh, I see; we're thinking of `Maybe a` as `a + ()`, and then identifying `(a + ()) + ()` with `a + (() + ())` and then `() + ()` with `Bool`. Thanks!
I was in the process of writing a reply that argued against this (mainly because it is not as readable as a class implementation), but I sort of agree with you as well.

This article implies for example that on a $10,000 trade that Robinhood would be compensated $0.80 (0.00008 per $1 of trade). That seems pretty modest.
They don't, that's just the example they chose. Prefixing variables / functions with the underscore has long been a signal for "this is private" in languages that don't provide the functionality.

Robinhood's will work out though since there's no cap.
Yes HFT buys trade flow from robin hood because they make more money executing against it but that's not actually to the detriment of the people on the robin hood app. The main way HFT firms make money is by making a market, they offer to buy and sell stocks cheaper than anyone else and get paid by people crossing the spread and sometimes exchange fees. The reason robinhood trade flow is valuable to HFT firms Isn't because they are trading against "dumb" millennials but because they know millennials aren't likely to move the market playing around on their smartphone. HFT firms can collect a small rent sitting in between millenials trading with one another without the risk of being on the wrong side of a trade that materially moves the price of a stock.

This sort of obvious misapplication of law can't be prevented by anything sort of making entirely pointless laws nobody will bother with.

These rankings are suspect. Mississippi is #6 in quality of life, yet they are near dead last in almost everything else (health care #50, education #46, economy #48, opportunity #49, infrastructure #49). How can someone have a high quality of life if they are poor, uneducated, and unhealthy?

The answer seems to be that US News defines quality of life in an extremely narrow manner. The measurement seems to place a high emphasis on community engagement (likely tied to religiosity) and natural environment (which seems to favor areas without large cities).
I think that's more of an economic incentives thing rather than any issue with this particular type of construction. You do a 1+5 building with soundproof doors, varied paint schemes for each unit, real wood flooring (not laminate), and so on. There's nothing about the building that prevents that. Developers have no incentive to do that stuff though because in most markets there's a big deficit in new construction and people will rent it, even if the doors are hollow and every wall is off-white.

I am not assuming you have an opinion or knowledge on this but you seem more informed than I am. If the Saudis are retreating to this story, what is the theory on what may have really happened? This back and forth, I thought, stemmed from the idea that the recording is or could have been faked (unclear by who, Turkey?), it sounds like, from what you said above, the tape doesn’t matter except that it caused Saudi Arabia to change its story. If it did, it sounds like it was a good thing since it made them retreat from as you said, a transparently false lie.

At this point I’m not sure what my point is any more. Sorry :)
Any I have seen allow you to set what you want as the default for your sales and also chose to use a different style on each sale. Default setting for accounts I have seen is selling high cost first (as that will result in the lowest taxes).

Selling high cost first is likely the best strategy but if say you had some that was long term versus short term capital gain that might lead you to make a different decision on a particular case. Also if you had a choice to sell something that is about to be a long term gain versus one that you bought much more recently you might want to sell the more recent purchase first (in the event you were going to sell again say in a month - which could let you claim a long term gain for the 2nd sale). So there are reasons to make different choices in individual cases.
I think the idea is to distinguish them from class getter functions? I don't really understand it either.

Stallman reccomends that if someone needs social media for publicity or business need, then you set up your own domains and only post "title, who, date, link" and get the useds off predatory platforms like Facebook or Instagram or Quora.

If you do that, you retain the meager control of your profile, and you don't ignore social media. 'Better' of both worlds.

Cool, then check the market price of an Nvidia video card rather than their stock price.
Of course not..

But .. What on earth does that have to do with what amounts to giving a quantity discount to large employers?

Yes, if they didn't give a discount, and somehow managed to keep the "sale" anyway, there would be more money in the register - great! However the reality is that without the discount, there is no sale, and no additional money in the register.

It may be that the discount is too great, that's entirely possible. I don't think we have the info to judge this.
Everyone uses semi-transparent caches of CPUs. If behavior is predictable - I don't see a problem.

I’m sure a lot of people might start out that way. But if you get free money for parking your cash there, why not use that money to dabble in some trading? Seems like there is little downside for the company, and potential for upside for the consumer. Pretty good acquisition strategy, in my opinion.

“Light in the Jail Cell” memoir sneak peek
Names..

Satya Nadella is directly responsible here. There has been no response from him on petitions about it. Google the various sources:

Ben Evans is responsible for enforcing the state of affairs on .Net core at least. https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/3093

Joey Ailleo, Powershell PM said this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18629942

"I'm a huge privacy advocate, but telemetry doesn't have to be a dirty word. With PowerShell Core, we went through an RFC process to define our telemetry goals and implementation[1], we publish our data to a public dashboard[2], and all of the telemetry source code is out there in the open[3]. Our telemetry enables to help drive prioritization and decisions around platform/OS usage, and disabling it as simple as setting an environment variable[4]."

That's basically MSFT policy:

1. Telemetry is good for you

2. We do X, Y, Z (but forget to mention the times they got it wrong like the environment variable didn't work on Debian packages they built for .net core).

3. Default is opt out, if you can (windows 10 pro has no opt out option).

4. Stick fingers in ears.

MSFT, you can go to hell at this point. This is just disrespecting and abusing your customers. I will ALWAYS put a privacy respecting vendor at the top of the list.
That sounds needlessly apocalyptic to me. If the British are lucky their financial industry will falter a little and the rest of the country will benefit from a reduction in the Dutch disease that has been plaguing their economy.

The first few are simple, photograph + DEM (digital elevation model) or DTM (digital terrain model) aka height map will give you a 3D landscape with photo-accurate texture. They add manual CAD modeling in the later images, and that gives them the extra detail they need for 3D buildings / structures.

For the interior, it's a lot more impressive. They're doing photogrammetry or SLAM equivalent, reconstructing depth from stereo photographs and stitching multiple pairs together to generate a scene. They're also adding CAD in that case, as you can see with the wireframe for the generator.

How is having the duck.com dns a trust issue? Google could just as easy create some purpose for it and ddg would have a hard time proving that a domain that does not have its product name to be inflicting monopoly.

Conversely, how does transferring the domain helps Google on court? If they are a monopoly, then surely it isn't because of naming.

(I do defy the affirmation that Google has a monopolity at all - Bing and ddg are likely alternatives that anyone can use - it's very different from, let's say, IBM mainframes... But I'm no expert in antitrust laws)
If C++ has advantages over C, then I don’t see a reason to limit yourself to C in libraries (unless those advantages aren’t helpful for libraries).

I do agree that writing libraries is fundamentally different (and fundamentally harder) than writing apps. I still don’t feel comfortable passing smart pointers across a C++ API (in or out), so I’m fine with a rule that the API should generally be C-friendly, but you give up a lot when you limit yourself to C, and some of what you give up would be very useful inside the library.
I kinda agree with others, it's probably a lot due to fond memories. I didn't like it, I still don't really, but I like what it brings back. It's also the cutesy and end of a computing era where things were plastic, slightly round, large, playful. Just before MacOS X / iPhone wiped that era off.

On the ergonomics and visual side I prefer simpler and leaner NT5 (which actually was in XP, just need to disable theming).

"The simplest answer to the question “Do elite colleges matter?” is: It depends on who you are. In the big picture, elite colleges don’t seem to do much extra for rich white guys. But if you’re not rich, not white, or not a guy, the elite-college effect is huge. It increases earnings for minorities and low-income students, and it encourages women to delay marriage and work more, even though it doesn’t raise their per-hour wages."

Serious question: Why is everyones reaction to put {executive} in jail?

People don't understand that corporations, and to a larger extent, governments, are Medusa. You can cut a snake off, but there are more, who were trained by {executive}. (And it doesn't actually stop the {bad_practice} from happening; the head wasn't cut off.) (And for those who really want the myth, the head still turned people to stone, IE 'we've always done it this way.')

Don't get me wrong; as a net-isizen, I want Pai to rot in hell for everything he's done, but what is the rational behind putting people in jail?

USA already has enough people incarcerated from tiny drug charges; what makes this any better? Throwing people in jail won't solve anything, so why is that the biggest reaction to stuff like this?

"It would appear that way" - that was my whole point, that the perception is presumably wrong here. There is no rejection, and nobody built anti-trans parameters into their ad server by intent. Sure, the OP feels that way - but feelings can be changed, in theory. They should be amendable by rational thought. Also I suspect it can become a habit to frame everything in terms of "rejection of my identity". I am not blaming that person, just pointing out that it may not be a healthy habit.

Maybe, to sum it up in a more friendly way, this quote is a good summary: "never attribute to malice what you can attribute to incompetence" (don't know who said it).

As for the miscarriage, I likewise wouldn't blame the algorithms or companies. However, I would think that most of them would be happy to learn and improve their algorithms. So pointing out such a flaw should hopefully be received well.

This is just not true. People don't usually sell their homes to cash in. Selling a house is a stressful, complicated process and it's also very expensive. You can't keep your home listed for long because people will see it hasn't sold. It also involves uprooting and relocating your family, moving all of your belongings and you still have to live somewhere.
