Short term investment grade debt has a default rate of near-zero and pays more than 3%. See for yourself:

https://investor.vanguard.com/etf/profile/VCSH

It is entirely possible for them to safely promise a 3% account under these conditions. This is not at all like the financial crisis. It's just wrapping an investment grade bond fund in a bank account interface.

Determinism is compatible with a free will. Determinism simply mean that the future can be accurately predicted from the present. Its only implication on the subject of free will is that the same person in the same situation always will make the same choice, i.e. theres nothing inherently random about our decision making processes.
I did some quick research. Discover has a money market account for 1.9% APR that is FDIC insured and has a debit card.

Money market accounts have been around a while. Is Robinhood's account different because they are subsidizing it to hit 3% APR?
Nice work. This looks like it could add a lot of value to a DS's toolbox.

Exploratory data analysis of large (but not huge) datasets have always been a slow and frustrating experience.

In the enterprise, we have plenty of datasets that are 100s of millions to a few billion rows (and many columns), so big enough to make conventional tools sluggish but not quite big enough for distributed computing. It sounds like vaex can help with EDA of these types of datasets on a single machine. I'd be interested in exploring the out-of-core functionality, which I hope means it will continue chugging along without throwing "out of memory" errors.

Sometimes when I try it earlier in the day, I am able to get up if I keep my hips real low and give myself a good push against the snow behind me, then I can go from a low crouch to standing while the board starts to go in motion. But as soon as I get a bit fatigued, I just lose balance and fall as soon as my butt leaves the snow. I still have never managed it by myself with my heels properly dug in so that I don't slide around while standing.

That sounds extremely profitable, so long as you stay ahead of the law - just like Robin Hood, in fact. But in this case it's not taking money from the rich ...

Css is a write only language. There is no read mode.
This would be really useful if it can be run offline. Much easier to use than writing code, compiling it with -S to produce assembly, then trawling through the assembly to look for the code you're interested in.
>"The distinction I am going for is people who would donate if and only if their donation makes a difference to project completion. If you can save your 100$ and still get what you want then that’s different than your 100$ being what allows something to happen."

So you claim people won't voluntarily fund a project like a wastewater treatment plant since it doesn't make them feel rewarded or some other mental thing. Fine, doesn't matter why they won't do it. My point is that's the only time taxes are required to get a project done.

>"My 100$ is not going to cure cancer so I don’t donate to cancer research. But, if I knew it would make the difference between a cure and no cure, then I would very much donate 100$ to end cancer."

When I see the hoops people have to jump through to get basic privacy from Google, it makes me happy that my company's legal department prohibits us from using Google products for HIPAA reasons.
At least in this case, they are being more clear about what they are doing and not claiming their new license is Open Source or trying to poison an existing Open Source license, the way some other companies are doing things.

I agree that it is always sad to see a company closing its (future) source code like this, but such is their perogative.
I stand on my heels all the time, never thought this could be a burden to other people. Thank you for making me be grateful for things I did not know I was good at
Because it's part of the linking process. The linking process brings together dependencies to produce the final product ( an assembly in the .net world ). The .NET IL linker may "link" the bare minimum resources necessary, but it still links the bare minimum resources.

Also optimization, pruning, etc can happen in every stage of the building process. Preprocessing, compiling, assembly, linking, etc can have optimization. In .NET optimization and pruning can occur post build. The JIT can optimize, prune, etc. Even the native code can be optimized by the runtime. Even hardware like the CPU can perform optimization on your executable. So optimizer or pruner would be an even more confusing name.
Hey Google ... I know you're here, looking for how this is going to go over.

It seems like a nice idea. I'm not on board with any new Google platform unless I have some sort of assurance that you're just not going to kill this off in two years, or let it suffer a slow death of neglect and attrition.

Thanks, but you need to grow up a bit, Google.

I'm not sure how Ameritrade works, but the other brokers I've used (Fidelity, Schwab, and Vanguard) you either have an 'uninvested' position where your cash is parked (generally a federal money market fund) or bank sweep that is FDIC insured. They never actually hold cash for you it is either in a money market or a bank sweep.

Is there really no way to have a technical discussion without being hostile? You could, for example, reply with the actual things you disagree with.

I like how devs forget about non functional requirements.
I'm not sure what you mean by "way over" but 6-month t-bills are paying 2.5% right now. It's probably a loss leader but since they'll make money from merchant fees on debit cards, it might not be that much of a loss.
Speaking of defense-in-depth. I don't understand why do certificates released by public CAs not add an extension to the cert if the cert was given to a DNSSEC validated host.

As browsers are unwilling to validate DNSSEC directly it would allow browsers to just check the certificate. This could be complemented with a relevant HTTP header that forces the browser to only accept the certificate if it has been given out to DNSSEC validated host.
> "The type of food is often much more important. For example, eating organic beans or organic chicken is much better for the climate than to eat conventionally produced beef"

Note: Vaex has its own memory model. If you input Arrow, it converts to the Vaex data representation. Details here:

Is there any new software released with this for syncing/uploading all of your files to Google One?

Edit: looks like they only have a web app for desktop and only have an app for Android, no iPhone support yet: https://one.google.com/faq/google-one-app

Without syncing like MEGASync or Dropbox (even if it's only one way uploading) this is pretty useless as a central repository.
Yes. When I'd stay with family or friends that had AOL dialup the first thing I did was install Netscape. However, this was the late 90s; I'm not sure if the client created a proper TCP/IP stack in prior versions.
Honestly, no.

The private sector is generally very, very heavy on short-termism. Even when companies do have internal long-term research initiatives, there is often a strong aversion to pursuing research that could cannibalize high-margin products.
"I maintain that we’ve been sliding very rapidly from a capitalistic society to a neo-feudal one. "

I think it has been that way all over history. People start pretty equal, then some people get to the top because of merit, these people then shape the systems to solidify their rule so they stay in power independently of merit. At some point the people had enough of it, dethrone their overlords (often kill them) and the cycle starts new. Unfortunately this can take hundreds of years to finish.

In the past the feudalists often came from the warrior or religious groups, now it's business people, but the cycle is still the same.

"The closest structure I can identify is corporate hierarchies, but those are far too fluid compared to feudal nobility."

Feudal nobility also was fluid to some degree. There were always some peasants that somehow made it to the top because they were very smart.

When you buy a bond and the interest rate goes up, the nominal value of the debt goes down when the interest rate goes up, while with bank accounts they stay the same.

Ex: You buy a $100 bond at %3, then the prime rate goes up %1 so the typical market price of bonds of your class are now %4. Now your bond is worth less than $100 if you were to liquidate it.

Big difference.

I agree that $40k/hire cost is absurd. That being said, I hope you'll agree that actions matter more than words. Plenty of organizations make virtuous claims in public, and behave differently in private. Political slogans are no exception. I would encourage you to look at their political representatives' voting records and ask yourself if they are being consistent with their professed beliefs.

The absolutism of Libertarian theory doesn't translate well to politics and economics, as those require building relationships and cutting deals to make things happen.

There is no contradiction between being causal and non-deterministic. QM is both, for example.

So your argument fails at that point. Not that that helps much in determining whether or not we have free will, just that this isn't a good argument against it.
The submission title is misleading (“License Changes for Confluent Platform (Kafka)” at time of commenting) - the license changes do not apply to Kafka itself, as the article specifically states.
There are a few reasons, for example:

- You can eject (which gives you more control)

- There’s a lot less configuration involved

- It’s easier to integrate with the rest of the react ecosystem, as Navi is just a small library

- You can bolt this on to an existing create-react-app project

#1 on the list you forwarded is: "The certainty of being caught is a vastly more powerful deterrent than the punishment." #3 is "Police deter crime by increasing the perception that criminals will be caught and punished."

Stings run by police, generating stories of caught-criminals, and making it so that repeat offenders face a rapidly-escalating likelihood of being caught, would seem to deter, by the evidence at your link.
Behind the scenes, it is getting invested in a money market, tbills, or some other investment. So why wouldn't it be covered? Robinhood is only putting a checking account facade around this investment.
Without deposit insurance Robinhood would be extremely vulnerable to a bank run. In the event of even a slight market downturn I can't see why depositors wouldn't immediately withdraw their funds to an insured account (at the cost of only a slight reduction in interest) just to hedge their risk.
And as we've seen so far, consumers do not care in the slightest.

I don't think that distinction is particularly useful. 'Negative' rights can be reframed as positive rights, and often need a positive enforcement component to even be useful.

Consider your right for property ownership. Strictly defined as a negative right, others have an obligation not to infringe your property rights. Great if everyone is cooperative, but if somebody violates your rights you need somebody to assert a positive duty.

I'd like to think we've advanced, as a society, enough to consider more than just enforcing survival rights. Would you suggest people should have no rights to education either? This is also a positive right.

The first sentence of your blog post reads:

"We’re changing the license for some of the open source components of Confluent Platform from Apache 2.0 to the Confluent Community License."

This implies that the components are still open source. However, as you probably know from the open source definition: https://opensource.org/osd-annotated your new license does not qualify as "open source" by the most commonly understood definition because it violates article 6 "No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor." Specifically, you're not allowing your software to be used in a capacity similar to how you use it yourself.

Wouldn't it be less disingenuous to write "We’re changing the license for some of the previously open source components of Confluent Platform from Apache 2.0 to our own partially proprietary Confluent Community License." Or maybe instead of partially proprietary, shared source, or choose your own word for not really open source?

Edit: My original comment was based on the original blog post, which has now changed. Props to the author for being responsive to feedback.

However, in this case, won't it be more like a bond-fund, where the fund essentially has a ladder of bonds that are constantly expiring and getting reinvested (and also investing new investments from retail investors), and so the overall value of the fund may still remain close to $100.

because of what the web used to be

You make it sound like a bad thing.

The web is a lot of things for a lot of different use cases. There may be a use case for stuffing all JS into javascript, and base64 encoding all images inline, and maybe even for cramming web fonts into a page via JS, if that's possible. But that's not "the modern web." That's just hype.

The modern web is the right tools and strategies for the job.

Many of my sites are focused to low-education, low-ability, and marginalized people. That means accessibility, semantic coding, standards compliance, and clarity are paramount.

The "model breaks down" only when you're not organized, or fail to document properly.

Your sites may be games or whiz-bang SPA's, and JS is good at those things, and maybe shoveling everything into JS works for you.

But to say that "the only way" to do anything on the web is the height of hubris, and closed-mindedness. How will you know when the next great thing comes along, if you've already committed yourself to an "only way?"
