With passing values between hooks do you mean "Make one hook depend on the value of another hook?". Because that seems like the functor 'map', or applicative 'apply'.

Note, I don't really know what these springs are, but derived hooks could work like this:

class MyComp extends ReactishComponent {
fast = this.use(new Spring({ pos: [0, 0], config: "fast" })) // prim hook
slow = this.use(this.fast.map(spring => ({ pos: spring.pos, config: "slow" }))) // functor map
mid = this.use(combineTwoHooks((fast, slow) => computeMiddle(fast, slow), this.fast, this.slow)) // applicative

render() {
return (
<>
<Point pos={this.fast.get().pos} />
<Point pos={this.slow.get().pos} />
<Point pos={this.mid.get().pos} />
</>
)
}
}

The trick is functions that convert hooks into new hooks.

It's also a way they can secure their loans. It's the exact same reason Capital One has bank accounts along with their credit card business (and Amex doesn't). Getting credit on the open market is expensive, by getting you to sign up with your bank account, they can leverage it to get cheaper loans for buying stocks (i.e. margin accounts). Capital One targets lower income people, so it's riskier and more vulnerable to fluctuations in market conditions. Amex in contrast, targets higher income individuals so fluctuations impact then less. This they can get away not holding bank accounts and securing credit elsewhere.

This means if there's a downturn in the market, they won't go bankrupt due to all the outstanding margin accounts (or have to do margin calls).

I know about that being an option in Ubuntu MATE, at least. But AIUI that's about 'UI' as in the large-scale layout of the desktop environment, with the "Redmond" option giving you a 'traditional' taskbar and system notification tray. (You can definitely get the same thing going in Xfce, though it involves fiddling with the panels - and it's a default in Cinnamon and LXDE.) Widget style is its own thing, though.
Not so! One can indeed defend the claim that poor mathematical modeling of the statistical properties of collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) was the underlying cause of the bottom falling out of that market.

In brief, models were constructed of the complex behaviors of packages of loans - CDOs. These models, trained under benign market conditions, did not account adequately for correlations that might make all their component loans default at once.

You can elaborate the story with a lot of context and granular detail, but the core of the crisis did have a strong element of "bad mathematics" -- bad mathematical modeling.

> Prioritizing current news might be annoying, but it can't be a filter bubble

Never said a thing about filter bubbles, but in a way, it feels like a self-reinforcing loop:

0 An article gets clicked often

1 Google ranks it higher in the results based on those higher click counts

2 It gets clicked even more often due to being ranked higher in the results

3 goto 0

Behavior like that might be fine when one is looking for something obscure technical to surface more relevant results.

But when it's applied to news articles it creates the impression of a bias/funnel as the top results will regularly consist of the same, slightly altered, headlines and conclusions. Which in part is probably the result of a lot of news-outlets just copy&pasting AP releases.

Note: I'm not saying this is done on purpose, it might very well just be a manifestation of the increased use of AI/ML where the end results often can't be properly explained/reasoned as the ML has become sort of a blackbox optimizing towards a given goal, like giving results that are more likely to be clicked.
> Aren't all orders eventually public anyway?

no. most orders are not executed on the public exchanges, but by internal matching via your broker and a market maker. (also most exchanges only support trades in multiples of 100 shares.)
That's not true. When Robinhood (or any other retail broker) sends orders to a 3rd party to be filled, there is no way for that 3rd party to see who is sending the order other than it's coming from Robinhood. Robinhood maintains their own book customer orders; the FIX protocol that the orders are coded in doesn't even support that kind of granular info.

There are valid criticisms of payment for order flow but privacy isn't one of them.
I'm in my twenties too without a degree - I just gave a ton where I was asked and where I wasn't but I knew I could make a difference. I always strive to make both active and passive changes to better in my ecosystem (be it my city, work, tech community - by doing where I can and teaching or spreading ideas where I can't. And socialising too!
I used the wrong wording in my reply. The level of talent is good, it is the tech scene in general that is weak.

You understand that in order for it to be a gratuity, it has to be voluntary, right? I have tipped 15% for median-quality restaurant table service my entire life, and will continue to do so at that rate as long as tipping still exists. It has scaled up with the menu prices, because it is a percentage.

If "the tip rate is going up", that is entirely a problem of your own making. You chose to tip more. You can also choose to tip less, or not at all (by going to restaurants with counter service).

If you as a worker wish to represent 20% of the cost of my meal off the top, in addition to whatever portion you also may get from the menu list price, you are a growing cost, one that invites cutting. There are vending machines that make entire fresh, oven-baked pizzas now. The robot does not get a tip. The service worker just cleans the thing according to a schedule, and refills the ingredient hoppers. Even McDonald's is installing robotic cashiers.

It's easy to find tipping guides written by current or former service workers that self-servingly inflate percentages over the historic tipping rates. But those writing such guides are basically advertising that they are becoming less productive workers. That seems like a dangerous thing to do in a world of cutthroat cost-cutters.

> I could open multiple, but then every month I'd need to spend time transfering money to each to earn the interest.

This is a 30 second job setting up a free ongoing standing order, one to deposit then one to move the money elsewhere the day after every month automatically. This is sufficient to meet the pay-in requirements of all the banks.

> they might want to see a direct debit that is actually a salary

Salaries aren't paid by direct debit, that's something else - an agreement that allows a company to withdraw a variable amount from your account.
Some banks have a requirement that you have x direct debits setup (normally 1 or 2), you can work around that with something like https://littledebits.co.uk/Direct-Debits-and-Charity

Cash ISAs serve minimal purpose with the new personal savings allowances. If you're a higher rate tax payer you get £500 tax free, £1000 if you're a lower rate cash payer.

> It is really too bad we can't implement a revenue neutral carbon dioxide tax. Start at a low level and gradually ramp it up until we are carbon dioxide neutral or a bit negative.

As long as it's revenue neutral it doesn't even need to be ramped up, it can start at 100%. If you're suddenly paying an extra $500/month in carbon tax but at the same time you're getting the same $500/month back in lower taxes or higher EITC etc., nothing immediately changes unless you make different choices -- and then you pay less.

Then the "ramp up" is automatic, not because the amount of the tax increases over time, but because the amount of carbon being burned (and therefore taxed) goes down which makes "revenue neutral" result in a smaller "refund" payment. You buy an electric car and receive $500/month, but as more people buy electric cars, the amount you receive drops to $400/month, then $300 etc.

The amount relative to a traditional vehicle never changes -- by the time you're receiving $300 with an electric car while paying nothing, the person with a gasoline car is also receiving $300 but is still paying $500, so "stop burning oil" is always $500/month ahead of continuing the status quo, whether it's $0 vs. $500 or -$200 vs. $300.

Speaking from experience, as somebody who works in quantum computing.

* Theoretical physicists make hypotheses, and find abstract circuits to accomplish a goal; experimental physicists work closely to validate those circuits -- a cycle of experimentation, hypothesis testing, and lots of statistics (aka science).

* Circuit designers find concrete implementations of those circuits, and work closely with fab to produce them. Fab employs chemists and physicists to test, characterize, and refine their processes through experimentation, hypothesis testing, and lots of statistics (aka, science).

* When experiment-laden chips come back from fab, the circuit designers and theoretical physicists work with experimental physicists and lab technicians to characterize/validate the implementation through experimentation, hypothesis testing, and lots of statistics (aka, science).

* Individual devices are assembled into processors by an architect, who has a high-level understanding of the circuits, fab processes, and algorithms that use the processors -- coordinating a larger feedback loop with algorithm researchers involving experimentation, hypothesis testing, and lots of statistics (aka, science).

Scienceless design is a myth worthy of quashing. Our process isn't much different than those employed in the classical computing realm. I'd claim that quantum computing isn't even groundbreaking, in this regard: there's probably a billion person-hour trail of scientific studies that took us from the Antikythera device to the 7nm node (cough cough, or 10nm; who's counting?) and the architectures built thereupon.

If you're doing "design" without "science" as a subroutine; you're probably just following a recipe.
True. I use a credit card for almost every purchase I make in order to rack up the rewards points/dollars. My debit card only gets used at the ATM for times I need cash.

In the past year, I think I've used my debit card for one purchase at a local small business where my purchase amount was under $10 but I didn't have any cash on me. I wanted to ensure the business didn't lose money after the swipe fees, so I used my debit card and PIN.

I'm honestly not sure how to even begin explaining how unlikely it is that the entire service industry gets priced out of a wealthy area.

if a huge amount of restaurants close, there will be a sudden increase in demand for tables at the ones that remain. the remaining restaurants can then increase their prices a lot and afford to hire servers. if that doesn't happen and all the restaurants actually leave, it implies that the residents didn't value dining out very highly in the first place.

> geeks who believe they have outmathed a financial firm should ask themselves "Are financial firms likely to be bad at math?" and "Are financial firms incapable of hiring their own geeks?"

Moviepass was also bought by a financial firm... Come to think of it, they have many similarities. Both companies are basically handing out free money and it's unclear how they would make any profit. People speculate that both companies would make money by "selling data." Unless if Robinhood is doing something very illegal, there is no way that they could make enough money that way.

That said, I do think that Robinhood knows what they're doing. They're getting a lot of publicity right now. In the worst case scenario, Robinhood can cut costs by slashing interest rates and putting a cap on the number of free trades you can do. Their worth would plummet, but later investors would be the ones who pay that price. Overall, Robinhood would still be better off.

> Conclusion: GDPR was made to help monopolies grow even larger and prevent smaller companies/start-ups from ever growing more than just a little bit. Change my mind?

The conclusion you should be coming to is that if Microsoft is doing this they will be hauled over the coals in a really quite painful way. Not this month or next, because the GDPR enforcers are snowed under at the moment.

As for the “rules” small businesses have to follow to be compliant, for the most part I strongly believe that they just codify the things people should be doing anyway: Thinking about how you collect users data, why you need it; how long you keep it for; how you secure it; who you pass it to - how they use it.

Again, you're projecting malicious intent. What's the difference, in your opinion, between a lie and a mistake? If NameCheap is labelling those domains (again, according to your own screenshot) as coming from a third-party and they get a bad response from that third party, what should their case be? The ad wasn't a lie. A lie assumes that the intent is to defraud or fool you. This sounds more like a mistake that, ultimately, didn't harm you in any way whatsoever.

That being said... you do you. I have no horse in the race with NameCheap. I just think their service is great and the customer support is awesome. If you prefer another registrar, you live your best life there.

I'm not arguing for or against Iran sanctions. However, they exist, and the US has a history of enforcing such sanctions.
