It's easy to sit in a developed western country, buying products from other countries, and then complain about their emissions. I'm glad that we're trying to be responsible. It may not be enough or not the right way to do it (some thoughts on this?), but it's something.

Cryptocurrency wallets are simple pieces of software. Housing the keys is the hardest part - what's on top of that is just a bit of code to derive addresses from that key, query for balances on a blockchain node, send/receive calls etc. If that part won't be added by Samsung themselves it'll certainly aid in development of full crypto wallet apps.

But that's not what index funds are at all. The S&P 500 re-balances every quarter and stocks are constantly being swapped out.

It's much more likely that if you chose some stock in 1940s and never sold that you would have lost money than made money.

The reason why the S&P 500 looks so good overtime is because the S&P 500 is actively managed. It is effectively crowd-sourced from the very best invest ideas of mutual funds and hedge funds.
That is hilarious! Excellent job :-)
When I read this article, I thought of growing up in the suburbs. The suburbs I grew up in are ideal for the adult who wants to have a large house and minimal contact with strangers, but they are something very different for the adolescent child who is craving experience and contact with the outside world.

It would be hyperbole to call the suburbs an example of a dystopia for teenagers created in an attempt to create a kind of utopia intended for parents. But I have to admit that was the first thing that popped in my head as I read the article.

I've used the Philips Bright Light HF 3304. It appears they don't sell it anymore, though. Philips light therapy lamps: https://www.usa.philips.com/c-m-pe/light-therapy

There may be good reasons for that.

First, there are two ways to value companies, depending on what kind of companies they are. The two extremes are on one side a consulting firm, where the value is worth only the present value of the future fees to be earned by the consultants. But the company itself has no asset, very little debt, and its balance sheet is pretty much irrelevant to its valuation. The other extreme is an investment fund, where the company is worth exactly the current market value of its assets, it has no other future revenues other than the expected incomes from these assets.

A bank is somewhere in the middle. It is kind of an investment fund in the sense that all its assets are financial assets that can be sold pretty much at their book value (unlike a factory where the book value may mean very little in term of how much the asset is really worth). But the book value may differ from the fair market value (that's often the case if there are bad loans). But part of the value will also be generated from profits that are unrelated to these assets: fees on payment processing, advisory fees, trading income, etc. So part of the value is also a PV of future revenues.

And these future revenues may be negative. If you look at the past 10 years, banks have experienced huge revenue volatility. From trading losses, fraud (Kerviel style), fines (like UBS here), bad loans (RBS and HBOS style), etc.

And then you can have all sort of weird technicalities. Like the book value may be increased for gains on own credit (if the company fair values part of its liabilities). That's a paper gain that the market is unlikely to give any credit for.

For node.js, I wrote a lib that can selectively parse JSON subtrees:

https://gitlab.com/philbooth/bfj

The specific function of interest here is `bfj.match`, which takes a readable stream and a selector as arguments:

https://gitlab.com/philbooth/bfj#how-do-i-selectively-parse-...

It still walks the full tree like a regular parser, but just avoids creating any data items unless the selector matches. Though there is an outstanding issue to support JSONPath in the selector, currently it only matches individual keys and values.

Looks like a great way to incitive developing countries to reduce their emissions. Although when the developing countries' tax payer start complaining, it's going to be hard to defend these expenditures.
I don't know the details of labeling laws, but I believe fish oil is most commonly sold as ethyl esters, and this is called "fish oil concentrate". Free fatty acids are considered a defect in edible oils. They taste rancid and make the oil decay faster. Triglycerides and ethyl esters both get digested in the small intestine by pancreatic lipase enzymes, releasing free fatty acids where you can't taste them. Both raise blood levels of free fatty acids, and the quantity of ethanol released from the ethyl esters is small enough that I think it's very unlikely to matter.

But as the article points out, phospolipids get digested differently, and phospolipids are converted to ethyl esters in the transesterification processing too. By focusing only on blood levels of fatty acids, people overlooked a potentially important difference between natural and processed fish oil.

Also "each country has a single format".

Totally ineffective and counterproductive.

Doing what you suggest would not necessarily have any impact on emissions (as they might just shift to another country) while ensuring that 1.3 billion people remain poor and that their country remains undeveloped.

Far better to impose strict requirements on production methods. But if that is more expensive there should also be financial help available to countries that may not afford it.
The Xi backend is already written in Rust, a relatively low-level language with a somewhat C-like FFI/ABI. The choice to use JSON in time-critical code, when more performant alternatives are available, seems to me like a mistake.
I started to learn programming (and C) by doing Harvard's CS50 course. It was only after couple of years had passed that a lot of the things I learned then - allocating memory, pointers, writing functions that in other languages would be abstracted away into a library - have begun to really seem of value to me.

I wonder whether it is better to start with Python or JavaScript so you feel productive and can see more immediate results from your programming, or to start with C so that very little of programming is "magic" to you. I still haven't arrived at an answer, but I agree that some exposure to writing C is something that I would highly recommend.
It's less beef, specifically. On a practical level cutting out meat entirely can actually increase emissions because you can raise farm animals off of human inedible parts of plants like stems and other marginal food (i.e. parts we don't get any nutrition from).

Beef however is one of the worst conversion methods in this regard, but animals like chickens and goats are quite efficient.
I remember reading that intro you wrote sometime after you wrote it.. . I was an algotrader at a big bank at the time.

The most effective thing is probably less carbon intensive transport (that means first and foremost flying). But less meat (or better no meat) is still among the more impactful things.

Eating less meat is pretty high on the list [1]. But I think that for many people it is easier to buy less crap they don't really need, or to fix things instead of replacing them. Buying used instead of new is also an option.

Samsung Knox was released in 2013. It is simply Samsung's branding of a small set of standard technologies, like ARM TrustZone, which also powers Apple's Secure Enclave and other similar technologies.

It's also important to remind people to not roll your own when battle-tested libraries exist.

I have the sort of opposite reaction - so many things are basically either bugs in implementation or bugs in specification that I find lots of things unusable.
If I interpret the homepage correctly clients/servers without extra COI enhancements will just receive the messages as emails. Not ideal, but in any client with threading (gmail, apple), it would work decently i guess.

I’d take this to mean that no, changes are not explicitly required; but without the changes COI functions the same as email, but in an IM interface.

"Last but not least, every COI client app can offer a variety of end to end encryption options to keep your communication absolutely private."

The fact I had to read quite so far down the page to find this snippet emphasises to me how unimportant the developers of this protocol see E2E encryption to be :( And leaving it to the client seems like a terrible idea, especially if there are options, as then surely it will depend on what E2E encryption options your and your recipient's clients supports?
Smart Elevators Market Size
They have a description of the client but I could not find a description of the optional server-side enhancements (besides that it should be advertised via CAPABILITY).
The service works as a layer on top of standard email. There will be optional IMAP extensions to reduce the overhead.
I think this could be a great solution, but consider going after Slack rather than Whatsapp to being with. Unusually I think enterprise customers will make better early adopters than consumers, as they don't care about network effects and their technological inertia actually aligns with your selling point - that it is a thin protocol on top of email.

Once people use this for their professional email address they may start to using it for their personal one too.

We have not reached consensus on the subject of whether bad images of children are bad because the child cannot have consented to the production/spreading of the image, or simply bad inherently in and of themselves - even within most jurisdictions, never mind across them; however, consensus is currently swaying towards the latter - more and more jurisdictions are leaning towards outlawing e.g. drawings of imaginary children.

In practice no politician will want to be on record as the cause of child safety ratchets being relaxed; and so there is no realistic path from the current environment to one in which a person may become free to act as they see fit with previously problematic images of themselves on reaching majority - the trend is towards such images being seen as problematic purely based on content, regardless of context.
