Matt Levine opined (tongue in cheek, as is his usual style) that Robinhood may have thought that “Robinhood Checking & savings” was distinguishable from a checking and savings bank account and so could be regulated differently because of the ampersand, in a previous “money stuff”

“””

There is a lot of confusion about what Robinhood’s thing is. Delightfully, it is called “Robinhood Checking & Savings,” apparently because calling it a “checking account” or a “savings account” would come too close to implying that it is a real bank account insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., while “checking & savings” is not a thing and so does not carry that implication. A magic ampersand!

You are correct, I did not mean to say that there are no more regulations on export of GPS receivers. Yes you still have to obtain an EAR license for a GPS receiver capable of tracking at > 600 m/s. But the specific CoCom limits are at least relaxed since they specified that the GPS receiver will stop functioning if velocity is > 1000 knots or the altitude is computed to be above 18,000 meters. The latter part was restricting operation of high altitude balloons which is why I believe there is only a restriction on the velocity and not altitude now.

Sorry for the mixed units, but that is the actual wording from original CoCom, for reference:
600 m/s = 1342 mph
1000 knots = 1150 mph

agreed -- not likely, and it assumes those gains every year which is not reasonable. More, it ignores one very important fact, the destructiveness of losses. A one-year loss can be devastating to a fund. which is why many favor "safety" over "gains".

It's not uncommon for aggressive growth funds to take a 20% tumble in a year. Downside is much, much more destructive than many understand especially when one must also account for fund management fees (typically .7%) which are collected whether the fund gains or loses!

But the simple fact is that a 50% loss requires a 100% gain just to get back to even, which is still a loss once inflation and operating costs are factored in.

Here's a simple question that most people fail:
Q: A mutual fund loses 50% in a year. In order to break even the next year, your fund must earn ?
1) inflation
2) 50% + inflation
3) 50% + your income tax rate
4) 100% + inflation
5) 100% + inflation + operating costs + 'it depends'

The correct answer is 5. The correct answer is nearly 106%- One must make up for actual loss (100%) PLUS operating expenses for both years (usually 0.7% per year: 1.5%), plus inflation for both years (2%/annum: 4%). Of course there are tax implication for gains/losses taken outside of a qualified retirement plan (401k,403b,etc.) and sheltering losses can complicate substantially, but hopefully this illustrates a point about the impact of losses.

> If the author's explanation of what family offices are is correct, they didn't create inequality. If you take your money from a deposit and decide to invest yourself you don't create inequality. You undertake higher risk and potentially receive higher award.

Inequality is a mathematical statement about the distribution of wealth. It has nothing to do with risk or fairness or "rewards". If you accumulate wealth in one place, then you very directly create inequality. That's exactly what inequality is. By definition.

The Clear-Site-Data Header
The creepy truth about where your information goes in a big data breach
Right now, the application I'm working on supports the following feature in terms of styling/colors. Baseline settings, per-deployment/client settings (app deployed to different clients with a differing configuration), app configuration post-deployment configurable settings application wide, and post-deployment configurable settings per user.

With CSS in JS, I just have to deepmerge some objects (from JSON), and poof, it all just works. Without this it's either a rube-goldberg contraption that builds from styling on demand either from sass, or monkey patching styling.

I've done large projects with JSS and CSS/SCSS. I'll take CSS in JS (JSS). Yes, the syntax is slightly more annoying, having to wrap selectors as strings, and wrap values as strings (mostly). Though, I can pass in values from both a theme (injected with the options above) as well as handle manipulation of values at the component (ex: padding: theme.spacing.unit * 2). It's got all of the advantages of SCSS and more. The difference is mostly syntax for keys. paddingLeft vs padding-left.

My - admittedly - very cynical, and slightly crackpot theory is that tumblr internally knew they had problems with their business model, and either constructed or took the opportunity of the app store failure to - very publicly - go through a transformation into a "family friendly" brand.

A transformation that could enable pitching investors about entering some new more conservative markets, maybe entice some potential buyer, or give the management team a plausible scapegoat if the site had to shutter - the "I was forced to do" defense.

Cynical as it is, the 180 degree shift from reportedly being very slow at child pornography takedowns to "family friendly" in this timeframe can not easily be explained without some amount of prior intent of some sort. Maybe it's only an opportunistic pivot, or last ditch effort, but it seems wholely too quick given their prior - at least perceived - slow rate of change.

On Having No Head: Cognition Throughout Biological Systems (2016)
My experience is that desired features always vastly outpaces the ability for software to keep up with it, resulting in the very triaging of issues you mention - closing them quickly. The flip side of this is that most ideas never get worked on, and a lot of them do stay relevant.

Sometimes the code that feature would operate on has changed significantly, sometimes the need for it has been mooted or enhanced by other changes, sometimes the change has been made significantly harder (or easier!) by other changes.

But often the idea on it's own is relatively unchanged, and closed is just another form of buried - still searchable, reopenable for the right reason.

Anything which might get some runtime artifacts from the compiler. For instance some compiler intrinsic called from your code might use some code the compiler injects instead of only translating your source to opcodes.
There are individuals out there who possess sufficient cognitive capabilities such that they do not require much in the way of cognitive load mitigation tooling even when working on very complex and technical tasks.

These individuals are uncommon.
There is another approach to bootstrap an incremental compiler frontend on top of a batch compiler, which I used to create a Java language server [1]. Batch compilers usually support incremental compilation at the file level, so you are already close to a solution: re-compile the active file every time the user edits. This works but is too slow. You can dramatically improve the speed by simply erasing all the code that isn’t relevant to the current edits, which usually means erasing all the method bodies. This simple trick allows you to build a fast incremental compiler on an existing batch compiler.

I just wonder how our ancestors did it. Not only did they survive without plastic bottles, but they even survived the last 99.99% of biological history without plumbing!

I drives me mad. We solved the problem over a century ago. The ancient Greeks and Romans even solved it in their time.

The problem was reinvented by marketing, and everyone fell for it, to the point that kids are told to take plastic water bottles to school (despite the existence of water taps there), and public announcements at train and tube stations warn people not to travel without a plastic bottle, in case they have to survive without a sip of water for an hour. It's like we're all living in the Sahara desert. It's insane.

From a marketing PoV it must be the single most successful campaign in history. And given its success, and massive profits, they should be the ones whom foot the bill for cleaning up the godawful mess they've created.

You can still inherit baseline styles via a common theme that gets injected... See material-ui[1] which uses react-jss[2] configured with appropriate plugins, being able to customize components using said theme is far easier than any SCSS setup I've used. It's really, really nice to use in practice. It's just a slightly different syntax, and if you REALLY want to, you can still put your styling config in a different file from your component rendering.

That's not a change, that's how it's supposed to work. You keep the policy that people like, and track down the people who are abusing it. When I worked retail in 2012-2013 we took the drivers license numbers of people who returned items so that we could identify suspicious activity.

Eh, I think you immediately run into one of the lawyer-earmarks of a scam in that case.

A lawyer can't really tell you what will happen in a novel situation. They can speak with great confidence about legal precedents and where the law is black and white, but once you start walking into the grey areas, where the law isn't clear and there is no precedent, the law isn't a computer program interpreted by machines. There's a whole layer of human judgement in deciding what happens in that case, you don't just overflow onto the stack and get to rewrite the legal code to suit your needs.

So when a lawyer says something like, "Ahh, but the law only talks about 'checking accounts' and 'savings accounts' not 'checking & savings accounts'", at best they are giving you a preview of the argument they will make to a judge or jury at your trial.

Then future lawyers will be able to refer back to the precedents set in your court case with more confidence.
