I see, it's a difficult road to progress.. In a way, I think there are parallels with other civil rights movements elsewhere in the world. People react to it so emotionally, and its connection with religion and politics makes the issue problematic to even talk about.

My hope is that there's a tide of history in the right direction, and although it's a struggle, progress will be achieved and humanity will be kinder to each other. I guess it's easier to be an optimist when I'm not personally involved, though..

For others who were wondering like me, I learned that "madhhab" is a religious school of thought, and different ones dominate in different parts of the world. Apparently, they're quite involved in Islamic legal institutions.

This style of auction moves the complexity away from the buyer.

In a traditional one-round sealed first price auction, you're trying to guess what everybody else is bidding and bid a penny more. It's incredibly difficult for a buyer to accurately predict that, it leads to bubbles and crashes disconnected from the sold item value since it barely accounts for anything in the reasoning, but it's easy to resolve.

With a second price auction, the buyer only need to know its true price for self, and bid that, which is actually a lot more simple, and allows to bid depending on the actual provided value of items, making sure the prices don't err too far away from the value.

So, it's actually very practical for one turn auctions, which in turn are very practical when you don't want to spend the time to run a multi turn auction with progressive bids.
Those are the weak connections I referred to. Last I looked, the volume of financial transactions was about two orders of magnitude larger than the volume of purchases of goods and services. So maybe a couple percent of futures transactions involve actual buyers and sellers of the commodity, while most trades are among financial system players.

I think it would be useful if you could apply these principles to one of the examples in the article. Assume we have a woman who has a mammogram that indicates malignancy. The question that the patient would like answered is "What is the chance that I have breast cancer?"

How does frequentist statistics answer this question? What's the null hypothesis that should be used here? Can this question be answered without assuming a prior on the likelihood that the individual had breast cancer before the test was performed?

Mob rule is not what you want. It's terrifying.

What you want is a slow projection of the will of the people onto the seats of power. That's why separation of powers is so brilliant.

Judges are completely insulated from the people, unelected with lifetime appointments.

The President - when chosen by a real electoral college rather than the funky thing the EC has actually evolved into - is more answerable to the will of the people, but still insulated enough to do the job without the daily whims of the mob plunging the ship of state into chaos. It takes time and slow calculated movements to steer the ship of state. We want an executive who can make those calculations without constant fear of political turmoil.

The Senate, as it was originally designed, is closer to the people but also insulated. Senators get six years to advocate for the interests of their state. Before the 17th amendment, they were chosen by the state legislatures to directly represent the interests of the state as a whole.

And the House is directly answerable to the people, with each member representing a portion of them - 700k or 70k or 7k. It's the most powerful part of the government and also the most distributed. It's the beating heart of democracy and the starting point for all discussion on what constitutes the rights of the citizens, as directed by the citizens. But it is just a starting point. How the will of the people filters its way into the senate and the executive and the judicial branch is the refining process of a representative republic, the best form of government yet implemented by humans.
Being a data analyst using Python, I would say that for an one of exploratory analysis in jupyter I can do without type hints. As soon as I switch to an IDE or even go over some complexity threshold, I am all in for type hints. Or if I need to reuse the notebook. Then type hints are a blessing.
Type inference isn't "going backwards."
Writing your own story is what every human does. Then we mediate our perceptions with others. It does get amusing that we apparently live in times where there is already an established hivemind perception people are expected to adhere to. I could have understood it in former USSR. I do not understand or accept it for US. I moved here by choice and I am stupid and naive enough to believe founding fathers dreams.

Snowden is still a hero to me. At least he shone light on it. Before that, Wyden tried to do it through official channels, but Clapper outright lied in public.

So what do you do? Collect paycheck, keep your head down, not make waves and listen to elected critters make statements you know to run counter to reality.

Alternatively, you can tell the truth and risk government wrath for telling how things really work.

Yeah. What a scumbag that Snowden is.
I agree Email is slow is an arguable statement, for email you need to add recipients sometimes CC and BCC carefully plus you need Hi/Hello/Thanks/Signature etc which makes it more formal for daily communication for getting things done. My Second issue with email is, in the above example let's say Bob and Alice have different questions about Lazarus's email and start typing their responses at the same time and send them. Now you have 2 different threads of the email and this can go on and on and in no time you have chains of emails flying around. Let's say John (one of the people copied on that email) is on vacation. He is going to have tough time trying to go through that mess and piece everything together.
It's not just about security related things. This is generally a danger of pulling a prank when you're not around to observe how it unfolds. You can't step in and stop it before it goes down some unexpected side track and involves too many people.
> Ghost kitchens may be scams but I know at least of one QSR in Manhattan that does them successfully. In some instances they are quite profitable if you generate the volume.

It is a temporary fluke. If Chinese take out operators that are able to do razor thin margins and nearly completely unpaid labor force cannot make them work then no one can make them work

> While true that base comm is 20-30, those numbers are always negotiated down. Grub/Seamless will take as low as 12 from high vol regional leaders while UberEats made some deals that are supposedly really low (McDonalds). I don’t have exact numbers but from my recollection they mentioned it in their S1.

It is a creative lie by omission. Same kind of lie that Grubhub had when it forgot about the $$ it charged restaurants for answering phones that Grubhub setup.

There are maybe a dozen chains (McDonalds/Burger King/Chipotle/Qdoba/Subway/White Castle, etc) that can negotiate $1 fee. Your pizza place, your taco place, your take out sushi joint don't have this ability. If they did then the VCs would not fund DoorDash or GrubHub.

All the love to you my friend. I have stage 4 colon cancer + it made its way into my liver. I've been alive for a year now and I have no idea how much longer I have.

I know what you are both going through. I know what myson & wife is going through, seeing me on my bad days during treatment. Knowing that one day I will leave them sooner than we had originally planned.

No matter how bad things are or appear to be I'm a firm believer that there's more after this life and unfortunately we have trek through the good and bad of this one to get to the end. Besides, where did we come from before we were born?

I only live for today, because this is all I have.

Be strong if you can. It's tough and hard. What we are experiencing is apart of life

"Luck favors the prepared" is one of my favorite expressions, and I feel like it applies to this. Chance encounters do create tons of opportunities , but you have to be prepared to take advantage of those opportunities.
Why not both (if the shortcut is available)?
Don't start a reply with "this is totally incorrect", when you're merely pointing out a simplification or approximation.

I was making a point about the business model of a proptrader marketmaker versus the business model of an algorithmically sophisticated broker and needed to establish some preliminaries and it would have served zero purpose to go into the particulars of the costs related to risk warehousing.

Having worked for an equities highfrequency marketmaking business myself: Mark-to-market at mid-price is the benchmark that those traders will use for figuring out, at the end of the day/week/month, whether it was a good or a bad day/week/month, and at the end of the year for negotiating their bonuses, even when they are left holding some positions with uncertain future. Everybody knows that it's a simplification/approximation, but, due to the efficient markets hypothesis, it's a very good one.

It's the kind of approximation where it's being taken for granted that people understand that it's not ACTUALLY the trader's profit. Because otherwise one would need to include in the discussion the fact that the receptionist at the proptrader marketmaker's office building is also a cost factor eating into their margins.

I didn't mention the risk warehousing for the same reason I didn't mention the receptionist. And I'm not going to go into a rebuttal about how it's definitely not necessary to hedge every single trade, for the same reason: because it's not the topic under discussion here.

It's called the "maxim of quantity" and it is a generally-accepted maxim of conversation. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_principle)

Maxim of quantity:
* Make your contribution as informative as is required (for the current purposes of the exchange).
* Do not make your contribution more informative than is required.

So, to conclude: Your conversational move in this language game was a pretty weak one. The sentence "this is totally incorrect" however sounds like someone trying to establish dominance. Weakness and trying to establish dominance is a bad combo.
> They are not. They are just a different model than a standard restaurant.

They are not. It is called commissary kitchen. Has been around forever. Those are the kitchens that support food trucks. Or the kitchens that support prepared food not made on premises in supermarkets. They don't work for a-la minute production even if a-la minute is just used to load it into driver's gear.

> What I have observed in my area (UK) is that instead of expanding by setting up a new branch in the costly centre of town, some chains work with Deliveroo to open a ghost kitchen in the industrial area

That simply means real estate has not adjusted to it. It will.

> As n gets really big, adding 100 or dividing by 2 has a decreasingly significant effect.

I was annoyed to see that comment about division, as of course dividing n by 2 has exactly the same effect regardless of the size of n. This is not the reason we ignore multiplicative constants in complexity analysis.

It reminded me of the joke that Earth's circumference is pretty much the same as its diameter, since the the size of pi is negligible at that scale.
Except PHP already has some of the nicer features of Scala (like traits) and is more flexible (you can write Java-like code, but don't have to).

> most of those interviews just test your knowledge of how quickly you can figure out the right data structure and algo for the question at hand

Not sure that's true. Just a few days ago someone was commenting here how they were a frontend developer with a few years of experience, yet they didn't know what a for loop was. These interviews aren't about how quickly you can figure out the right data structure, they're about separating developers from "developers".
You have never been in an organization that has used ldap or other user backends then.

Thou shalt not commit logical fallacies
To get our bachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering at NCSU a bunch of us looked at a continuous pyroprocess involving molten salt, molten cadmnium, EM pumps, and electroplating. The idea is to plate out the Uranium -- and only the uranium, satisfying nonproliferation concerns -- and precipitate out the minor actinides and plutonium together for HLW long term storage, or a different further recycling process.

This would close the loop and recycle uranium while still keeping the weapons grade plutonium out of people's hands. It doesn't transmute so it wouldn't solve the waste problem. It only solves the Uranium recycling problem.

The US Government is far more concerned about non-proliferation than it is about waste. Hence the lack of political will in fixing the long-known uranium recycling problem with methods like UREX/PUREX, which is not proliferation-resistant.

Was really fun, the tech looked promising, the maintenance looks awful, and the political will isn't there.

Edit to add: once we are able to recycle the Uranium, the theory is that the rest of the HLW can be used in a different kind of reactor (not a light water one) that would burn the waste as fuel, fully dealing with the waste problem. So there's multiple degrees with which we could recycle spent nuclear fuel.
It depends a bit, practically speaking carbon is irrelevant for all three.

> It isn't at all clear to me buying and selling at an auction even only once a day, let alone once a minute or second would make financial market end user worse off.

Go look at the history. Back before the 80s, trading was done by hand, sub-second anything was impossible. Guess what! Spreads were enormous, and the cost of doing business was huge. As a financial market end user (I have a pension), I want the smallest spreads possible.
Speaking for myself, I’ll put in time on contributing to a codebase when that codebase is something I use and like. I’ll include links to significant contributions when someone wants to see my OSS experience. If it helps in their decision process, great. If not, I still got what I wanted, which is to better understand something I use and, to a lesser degree, improve it.

"But energy from the sun man!"

At this point most of the arguments about nuclear power are philosophical in nature. They watched the Simpsons with the three eyed fish and evil Mr. Burns and took that as fact. It's the future, it's the way things will ultimately have to go, and future generations will be mad at modern day environmentalists holding up progress in the way that they are currently. Solar and wind is nice but it does not provide consistent enough generation for our purposes. Nuclear power is a drop in replacement for things that are much worse. Solar and wind require a new grid and new devices across the board to even get started. You want to wait a few decades for everyone to replace all of their appliances, heating and cooling mechanisms and for society to shift to this new model or do you want to make progress today?

One of the leading politicians of this generation once said "It's more important to be morally right than factually correct". Anti-nuclear folks really took that to heart.
Would you be happy if regulators mandated that airplane control systems can only sample their input at most every second?
