(1) is the best [i think] unbiased analysis I've seen on the subject that tries to look at it from many points of view.

It seems very complicated, and I don't really understand. But it seems like in either cases (legal or illegal) the people who benefits and those who suffers is going to change in every case. For the average investor, in some cases having more efficient stock prices would be a benefit, in other cases, the added information asymmetry would be a unfair.

Three points:

1 - Companies could still ban insider trading if that proved more efficient for them. If liquidity was low because insider trading was allowed, they could disallow it. The reverse is also true. So at least companies would have the choice (and investors would also have the choice of where to invest).

2 - While an insider could equally benefit from good and bad news, they are still incentivized towards positive results (salary, bonuses, keeping their job, reputation)

3 - My real problem with making insider trading illegal is that it's completely impossible to enforce consistently and fairly. This adds uncertainty (how much insider trading is going on in your current investments?) I think insider trading only applies to buying/selling, but what if someone has insider knowledge that causes them to NOT take an action. That seems as unfair but can't be enforced..

There's a just middle ground. If a service provides excellent unsubscribe flow and refund options, is it a good idea to reward them by accusing them of fraud?

Do it for the shitty services but at least do some basic homework first.

From an economic perspective, insider trading has plenty of nuances.

On one hand, you have the accountants/analysis that build the company numbers to be made public for investors to trade, and because they get the first peek at information that is not really theirs, if they buy/sell on that then they are definitely commiting this act.

On the other hand, you could have Elon musk reading information every day that could sway him to buy or sell at different prices, from the unique vantage point of his position: this is raw information that is better out there than repressed. (investors wuld know what the CEO thinks).

I have an amateurish devotion to economics and insider trading is one space where its all nuance.

The reasons are very clear, while I trust Apple so far, it’s both important and awesome that a bunch of nice peoples start building a real FOSS alternative in case they are actually screwing us.

Android can’t be trusted anymore unless major change of policy. By extension AOSP are better but still dubious since they can’t totally cut the cord from Google if needed (as far ad I understood).
Contemporary is a good word to use in discussions like these, because it's halfway to acknowledging that the choices of the moment may be as much fashion / aesthetics of a sort as they may reflect new heights of engineering quality.
> All you're doing is claiming the wall won't work as well as your solution

No, I'm claiming it won't work as well, costs more in direct public expenditures (free is hard to beat), and has greater adverse side effects than my method.

> There's zero reason to believe what you're saying would be effective.

There's zero reason to believe that removing the allocation rule that creates decade+ waits for legal immigration from a neighboring country with lots of people wanting to and legally qualified to immigrate would reduce illegal immigration? No, there's a lot more than zero reason to think that.

> Walls have worked for thousands of years...

The walls that have ever worked for even vaguely similar use cases weren't simple physical barriers but manned fortresses, usually where the “wall” was topped with an elevated fighting platform and roadway, often with two actual walls with the roadway/platform in between them, and the wall also featured periodic tower forts as components.

And even most of them didn't work all that well and were epic resource drains to build, maintain, and man.
> I'm pretty sure most people have a pretty intuitive understanding of how to perform a methodical search of a room.

I'm pretty sure most us techies have a pretty intuitive understanding of how to methodically build software yet we still see great benefits in breaking down projects into smaller tasks.

My point is the bigger picture often looks easy from the outset but in practice most people do benefit from dividing jobs up into smaller tasks or quadrants and focusing on each of those individually.
What does that have to do with how much an estate agent/relator charges
Disclaimer: I am one of the core developers of ArangoDB and I work for the company ArangoDB.

Yes, ArangoDB is young (6 years) in comparison to PostgreSQL (30 years).

Yes, PostgreSQL is a phantastic database with an amazing open source community and is not going away any time soon.

Yes, PostgreSQL is a good choice for a project in which you need a relational single server database.

However, ArangoDB actually has a different value proposition, so in a sense, it is not a direct competitor.

ArangoDB is native multi-model, which means it is a document store (JSON), a graph database and a key/value store, all in one engine and with a uniform query language which supports all three data models and allows to mix them, even in a single query.

Furthermore, ArangoDB is designed as a fault-tolerant distributed and scalable system.

In addition it is extensible with user defined JavaScript code running in a sandbox in the database server.

Finally, we do our best to make this distributed system devops friendly with good tooling and k8s integration.

Last but not least, ArangoDB is backed by a company which offers professional support.

Therefore any well informed decision for a project needs to look at the value propositions and capabilities and not only at the age and experience, which is of course a big argument, since people are - rightfully so - conservative with their databases.
This is actually a fairly accurate video (and it seems that it is worst than when i was there 15 years ago somehow, the ditch and the morrocan side fences are new). I don't like that some opinion were leaking through the depiction of facts (even if i have the same opinion) though, but i understand this is hard.

You can see this not a wall (because you can't see through walls obviously), and that this is not effective without border security agent. Do you know that even with a see-through fence and cncrete floor, people were still able to dig themselves in? They though about creating an artificial underground river alongside a the time (it is probably replaced by the ditch now).

They hired a team of engineer in the late 90s (or early 20s at least) to create a secure door system that won't force people from morocco who work there to wait unknown amount of time. If maquiladoras are still a thing, you might have to do the same.

I don't think a wall is a good idea, but maybe US should try it. Please be accurate though, if you want to have an efficient border "wall", it should never be a wall, but a fence, and you should actually have border agent monitoring the fence at all time.

Also thank you for the video, i'll binge watch this tonight.

I'd like to conjecture that even if we did develop interstellar travel, we will let them travel.

Now instead of collecting them, we will mostly build a mobile museum, to show the then humans, achievements of early humans, still moving through space.

Eventually we will get so advanced we wont really worry about collecting them at all, for the same reasons, the current humans don't go looking for the first wheel ever made.

I've been using it for personal projects and it's been quite fun !

The comments about Postgres and database XX vs ArangoDB are always the same, this is a choice depending on the use-case, if you have a vague scenario, ArangoDB has good performance on a wide array of use cases.

On a personal note, the main downside is not having any ORM for Golang for example, Node.js doesn't have any worth considering too.

Python seems to have arango-orm, which makes it simpler for small projects to integrate it.

Another improvement could be the graph visualization, simplifying the setup to use another solution would be nice.
Ethereum Classic's 51% Attack Wasn't Unexpected
Can't a well build device mitigate this by just using up the energy provided by the NLJD before it is re-transmitted by the semiconductors as a harmonic of the original signal? As far as I my knowledge goes of these, it can detect the created harmonics of the original signal.

But just yesterday somebody on a forum looked for information and mentioned a web site that apparently had that info at one point.. but had disappeared. Completely.

The channel capacities in Lightning are currently restricted by an arbitrary limit of 2^24 satoshis which was put there by the developers to prevent people from putting too much into what is effectively a beta test network currently. The limit is already scheduled to be removed in the 1.1 BOLT spec.

There are usually many possible paths for a payment, so the payment limit isn't the minimum of any possible node along the route, but the set of all possible routes from one node to another. However, even this is scheduled to be removed, because LN will get Atomic Multi-Path Payments, which will enable a payment to traverse multiple routes and only succeed if all of the routes are successful.

"Refilling" of Lightning channels does not require new on-chain payments - it can be done directly on the Lightning network by routing payments through paths which require balances moving in one direction or another. You can route payments to yourself to reduce your balance in one path and fill it in another path.

Putting aside large payments for a moment, you're completely ignoring the potential use-cases for small payments. Currently you can make thousands of transactions on the Lightning Network, with fees averaging hundredths of a cent. This was possible on Bitcoin in the early days, but clearly cannot scale because it costs money to store and propagate information on a broadcast network. Lightning doesn't broadcast any transactions, and doesn't need to store old transactions. The use cases are left up to your imagination.

If you wish to learn more I recommend reading the BOLT specifications and subscribing to the lightning-dev mailing list.
Thanks for the feedback! I think it's a good idea to clearly state what amount of money you're looking to raise and what for. But you should be also flexible enough to take into the account any critique on that point from VC's.
Braking to a stop is the best option (which is not always available, yes). Emergency braking to half the speed is the difference between "8 fatalities" and "hundreds of fatalities"; Ek=mv^2 - note that velocity squared*.

Case in point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Stud%C3%A9nka_train_wreck - train hits bridge at 90 kph instead of 135 kph; a 2/3 speed, but less than 1/2 the kinetic energy.

> I suppose "abrasive music" is still music

I recently read three distinct legal definitions of "art" have developed (in German courts at least). The details are interesting but the key notion is that in the strictest sense, art is an expression of emotions, so in some sense, this isn't music. Jaringly in this definition, the expression must be recognizable. Of course that's debatable and I don't mean to review the different philosophies. The only insight is that it depends and whether something elicites emotions or not is subjective. It's a useful attempt at a definition to differentiate intention and accident. Edit: Actually watching it now I have to say it's pretty cool and I wonder how much human input was given to control and curate the creation. NN synths over wavetables or granular synthesis are actual instruments one can play, for comparison. And I hold that whatever AI generates, it's still due to the authors.

If a minute of music is 1mb in mp3, then that's a whoopin n x 100 x 1'000'000 minutes. With n=1, that's over a million albums.

Even if the algorithm works with uncompressed pcm data, the ten times difference can be made up for by the n factor.

By definition it’s not an asteroid, it’s a celestial body but we don’t have a classification for it since we never seen one before.

It is also not a comet, so the null hypothesis is that it’s a rocky natural object but it doesn’t mean it’s an asteroid.

The best classification we might have for it is a distant detached object (DDO) but since it’s likely not part of our solar system it can’t be classified as a detached object by the current minor planetary object classification system we have either.

And it gets even better

Before paying a cent, all our users evaluate Migadu through our free, unlimited trial plan. The free plan supports one email domain, unlimited number of mailboxes, 1 Gigabyte of email storage and 10 outgoing messages per day which include a discreet signature "Sent via Migadu" at the bottom of each message.

If the limits of the free trial plan fit your needs and you do not mind the signature, you are welcome to stay on the free plan forever. There is no time limit. Upgrade only when ready and convinced.

I mean I rarely sent more than 10 email on my personal account. It is more of a receiving end. And this is awesome.

Australia uses what are called road trains, which essentially is 3 full sized semi-trailer loads pulled by a massive single cab travelling 90km/h. A good place to find them are the highways between Adelaide and Perth or Adelaide and Darwin. At night, their stopping distance is greater than their headlights can reach; if they see something, it is too late to stop and the choice is swerving and likely tipping or plowing on through. This is why they have bull bars on the front (you might know them as cow catchers), so when there is a herd of cows on the road staring you down the cab can plow straight through without slowing.

(or maybe tech has caught up in the last few decades and they detect obstructions from further away, but that would spoil the story)

Yes, all of those databases allocate query memory for queries at connection time, and consequently don't scale efficiently for large number of idle clients. That's not all databases. Some don't do that. Some don't even do connections period.

Connection pools are a necessary work around for a specific design decision with the system software. They can be helpful other problems as well, but they aren't necessarily a requirement.

Only loud-mouthed inexperienced middle managers tell their juniors to follow NIH and do everything in pure perl. It's pure fear to be broken by changed dependencies.

More experienced managers tell their devs to shell out to standard tools like sh, wget, curl, dig, mysqlclient and not use the builtin pure-perl libs. The tools are much better, the code is 10x smaller and faster, and you are getting updates for free (e.g. ssl).

So this is for the structure with the two columns

reference_id: '1234',
reference_table: 'posts'

reference_id: '4321',
reference_table: 'comments'

So let's say that this is the `likes` table that can like either `comments` or `posts`, here are some queries:

// Get comments and their respective likes
SELECT * from comments
JOIN likes ON comments.id = likes.reference_id;

// Get posts and their respective likes
SELECT * from posts
JOIN likes ON posts.id = likes.reference_id;

// Get likes and their referenced comments
SELECT * from likes
JOIN comments ON comments.id = likes.reference_id;

And so on.

I like the concept of Privacy.com, but dropped off after signing up because they require linking a bank account through Plaid, which requires you to hand over your online banking credentials, which makes you liable for any fraudulent charges to the account according to the policy of most banks, and gives them access to all the confidential financial information available from your banking dashboard.

A routing number + deposits verification system still gives push/pull access, but offers recourse in the case of fraud, and doesn't expose all of your financial history in the process. It's a tried and true system used by many other reputable online payments businesses. It amazes me that they still don't offer routing number based verification as an alternative, quite ironic considering that the company has the audacity to name themselves Privacy.

Final was a much better product in that regard, because it was a credit card, so you could pay from your bank's bill payment page in a push-only manner without giving away any access whatsoever to your bank. Plus the rewards were much better, and you get access to 30 days of float on your purchases by nature of it being a credit card.

I welcome Mastercard's move at the issue. If you do give your c/c number for free trials then this is probably most useful.

Aside from that, I don't think I've ever given my c/c number for any "trial period" offer. I've mostly ever used the usage of that scheme as a red flag to steer away from the business before even considering signing up for anything.

This is not merely because I'm lazy and I don't want to even think about remembering to cancel but because I probably wouldn't want to use such a service at all. The shabbiest businesses are heavily infested with this sort of trickery, but even some good businesses have followed. It doesn't bring any value to the user except one more place where you c/c details can leak away, one more thing to remember and potentially an extra charge that will just upset you.

Trial periods can be implemented without a credit card if you really want to.
