Great question! So, we actually maintain a 3rd party account that is only allowed to invest in short-term US treasury notes.

We track all the properties in our portfolio daily. Any on paper depreciation will result in us depositing funds into the 3rd party account. Whenever a property price moves above the original purchase price on paper, we will withdraw any previously deposited fund. This on-going process along with the hedging instruments are what allows us to guarantee the downside protection.

As a final layer of protection, we know exactly what our on going exposure is, so we know the maximum amount of contracts we can underwrite. We are very strict on this number and will never move above it. So, even if our company ceases operations, all of the downside protection will still be available to our customers.

Keep in mind, we also know exactly what our on going
Really? I think maybe you might be talking to quite a limited subset of photographers. Lots of landscape and architectural work is done fully manual for many reasons. Some of these are: 1) tilt-shift lenses are almost always manual only. 2) exposure/focus stacking. 3) panos. 4) long exposures with strong ND filters. 5) anything involving astro. 6) scenes with very large dynamic range.

There's a lot of other things too - your advice is really very over-simplistic and misses a whole lot of important things. There is no such thing as the perfect picture, artistic choices matter and there's more than one way to tell almost every story.
I think the issue is the erroneous claim that slavery was a product of capitalism. This is patently untrue, slavery predates capitalism by millennia.

Not only that, a strong argument can be made that capitalism ended slavery. The American South was an agrarian society, with an economy based on crops. The North was a capitalist society with industry forming a much larger portion of the economy. It was the industrialist, capitalist North that voted an abolitionist President into office and defeated the South's subsequent rebellion.

This pattern holds true across global history. Agrarian societies have almost always had some mechanism to lock large segments of the population into agricultural or manual labor: caste systems, serfdom, slavery all filled this role with some variation in their implementation. Abolition movements predominantly occurred in the time range from 1750 to 1900, and in the same time period many countries began to industrialize.
What is the reasoning behind "The trade war directionality favors the USA"?
I know almost no professionals who write their own sorting algorithms. Instead they use their language’s standard library.

However, I wouldn’t want to hire an engineer who can’t write pseudocode for sorting algorithms or explain space/time trade offs.

It is the same for photography. Many photographers never shoot full manual, but I wouldn’t want to hire a photographer who doesn’t understand what makes an exposure and wouldn’t be able to shoot manual if they really had to.

No of course not.

I'm saying that he might not be right all the time, not that he is definitely wrong all of the time. It is possible that his "democracy is fundamentally broken" beliefs are correct, but we shouldn't just say "ooh Aristotle was smart and believed this so its a reasonable claim" and move on.

I think he is wrong about democracy and I bring up other cases where he is wrong so people will think twice about his beliefs about democracy.

Dumb question: with the first example (twilight), wouldn't raising the exposure in post be functionally equivalent and have the same amount of noise? You are taking the same signal and boosting it to a desired gain, whether in camera or in post. right?

> We were inexperienced and didn't really know what to look for. Homes that required extensive rehab seemed too daunting and a turnkey property in a nice neighborhood was too expensive.

1. what in your experience are the top 3 things to look for especially for a market like Bay Area ?

2. Follow up to 1. longer term do you think the model will do well for markets outside of Bay Area like Phoenix, Vegas etc.

2. How did you overcome the cold start problem for your models ?

(A while ago there was a podcast (IIRC from NPR) where Zillow ran a contest to reduce the error % of their price prediction model and the team that won probably ended up also using factors like direction of the sunlight etc.)
3. Given your competitors use these kind of data points, will your model rely heavily on satellite imagery etc. to infer these kind of data points in the future ?
Yes they do have a native ISO. It's generally whichever ISO produces the greatest dynamic range.
Germany exports mostly industrial goods, such as machines (for manufacturing). As such, China is a far more important market than the US. The overlap of things both China and Germany manufacture is relatively small.

Or, in economists' terms: Germany's and China's goods are complementary more than competitive.
I also used to live mostly in A mode until I got dogs.

Nowadays, I find myself shooting in S mode a lot.

Having said that, I don't like shooting wide open on a fast lens except in certain circumstances, so like you, I sometimes prefer to set both the shutter and aperture and compensate with ISO. I guess this is a luxury with newer digital cameras than it is with the older ones that had a barely usable ISO 1600.

Are there any case studies you'd like to share, either here or on your site, or any other validation of your methodology? At the moment, it looks a bit like a "hot stock picks" newsletter.
Lambda Calculus (LC) versus LISP is not just about lexical scoping, but also about partial application (currying), which is cumbersome in LISP and natural in LC. In LC (where \ = lambda)

(\xy.x)M ==> \y.M

while in LISP

((lambda (x y) x) M) ==> undefined

because the lambda function expects two arguments. Of course

\xy.x is just an abbreviation for \x.\y.x, so the LISP counterpart would really be

((lambda (x) (lambda (y) x)) M) ==> (lambda (y) M)

but this only proves the point that currying is natural in LC and not in LISP, because LC provides syntactic sugar that allows to treat higher-order functions and functions of multiple variables in the same way.

Also, LC is not compatible with functions with a variable number of arguments, which is common in LISP. For instance,

(+ 1) ==> 1

in most LISPs, but given PLUS == \mnfx.mf(nfx) and 1 == \x.fx

PLUS 1 ==> \nfx.f(nfx) == SUCC

i.e., (PLUS 1) reduces to "SUCCessor", the function adding one to its argument.

In most LISP dialects, you can pass any number of arguments to a variable-argument function like +. So what does the syntax (F X) denote in general? The application of a unary function to one argument or the partial application of a binary function? Or a ternary one...?

In LC it does not matter, because multi-variable functions and higher-order functions are the same.

I have developed a LISPy language that uses currying instead of functions of multiple arguments in the book Compiling Lambda Calculus (https://www.t3x.org/clc/index.html).

You can download the code here: https://www.t3x.org/clc/lc1.html.
This oddly makes me feel less anxious about this issue. If everyone is ingesting microplastics all the time for a while now, it proves that at least in the short term there aren't any really bad effects. Otherwise we would've noticed it by now.
Classic must-read book IMO. I know that a ton of beginners want to jump straight into Deep Learning when they say they want to learn ML - don't do that.

Start with the fundamentals; this book will cover all your needs, before delving into more specialized topics (like DL).

I don't think that this is exactly what you're asking for, but you can explore most "standard" projections below (definitely try out the first link described below):

- Take a look at [0], click "Earth" in the lower left corner, then try other projections (they appear as the "A", "CE", "E", etc. list). Drag the map around to set the projection's "center". The real time projection calculations are pretty amazing..!

- Go to [1] and toggle all of the categories ("Wall Maps", "Maps of Hemispheres", etc.) by clicking them. The maps are not dynamic / cannot be dragged around (like [0]), but this is a more complete reference list (similar to Wikipedia's list of map projections [2]). The rest of the site is also absolutely incredible (I recommend taking ~1 hour to go through the whole list of projects one by one).

Good for you. What does it have to do with the story?
Bandwidth != Total data used.

The ISP needs to build infrastructure to support peak instantaneous load. If the current network is at 50% capacity and I turn on Netflix there's basically no cost to the ISP, even if I've already used my 1TB of data for the month. If they are at 95% capacity then things start to matter a lot more.

If the ISPs were interested in fair pricing, they should offer pricing like the power companies these days, charging more during the day/evening and less during the night when less people are generating traffic. You should be throttled during the afternoon when everyone else is on or pay for the "fast lane".

But they don't operate like that, because $, making them the bad guys.

Here's a start, it is from Project Veritas, a known bad actor. The Google employee in specific has a history of Q conspiracy theories and anti-semitism. Neither of them seem very trustworthy. If it isn't very trustworthy, is it really news?
I'm at least upset about it because few come close to how noncompetitive US ISP markets are, the FCC is totally complicit and run by board members of big telecos that want to operate an ISP cartel with regional monopolies, and no where else in the world is a physical line network connection metered because metering it makes no sense - the cost is in maintaining the lines and having the infrastructure to support peak throughput. Having people running their gigabit connection all night long seeding torrents doesn't impact the bottom line of the ISP at all, whereas everyone using a gigabit at the same hour ever evening does.

Because the pricing model isn't reflective of the real costs associated with the business its blatantly price gouging and exploitative and they can only get away with it because they have no competition because they bought out politicians to guarantee it so. Its a systemic disaster dumpster-fire mess than private citizens can't do jack about besides move to the ~2% of the country with competitive or public ISPs.
Until every competitor leap frogs them. Everyone's running up a down escalator.

If uber just keeps the lights on, they will not maintain their stronghold on ridesharing, let alone be the last to market for the next generation of mobility that will replace their current product. Even Facebook goes out of fashion - that's why they bought Instagram and WhatsApp.
Repackaged content a huge part of yt's bread and butter. I acknowledge there are excellent content creators at youtube making their own stuff. That's who I was talking about in the first sentence of my OP. They should go somewhere else.

It's the same thing with Uber and airbnb, etc. Big corporations are making billions while those doing the real work that is valuable to the consumer are making pennies.

Sharecropping. This is not a new concept. It wasn't ever an equitable model and yet, here we are right back in it.

It feels like a lot of big corporations are taking advantage of a lot of people who hope to change their lives. It's a fraud. It's not ... right.

I want it to be right. It takes hours of filming, lots of equipment, courage, etc.

Each one of the content creators -- those creating original content -- are taking as much risk as the founders of YouTube, even more really in the big scheme of things and yet they and now Google are making billions, while the people they make those billions off of are making pennies.

Why does it work this way? I don't know why it works this way.

I might be having a philosophical break down atm or something, idk, but it feels like there's a huge fraud being perpetrated out there in internet land and I don't like it one bit.
Satellite photos show Chinese armoured vehicles on border of Hong Kong
Your assumption that this is happening because those engineers are less skilled is completely wrong. I've worked at both private and govt. the problem in Govt is that resources just go towards the wrong projects. and things that could be fixed never do get fixed due to bureaucracy and regulations. engineers working for gov sometimes are forced to use the worst tools imaginable: often due to regulations (the tools/software used needs to be licensed or some other bs regulations).
The problem is not that lowering the interest rate has stopped increasing inflation, it's that central banks can't lower real rates enough. They are facing so called zero lower bound problem: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/z/zero-bound.asp This is called liquidity trap.

You can set the interest rate little bit below zero, but you can't go significantly below zeor or banks just start storing cash in vaults (it becomes economically viable to physically store vast amounts of cash). You can actually think these zero or negative rate mortgages as bank's way to store capital.

I don't think the root cause is financial or monetary policy. Developed countries are aging and their economic dynamics is fundamentally changing and they become prone to having secular stagnation. Japan led the way, Europe and the US will follow.
This is a pattern with every such environment I can think of. Most people are unlikely to stop at a random house on a street with a sign out front saying "Stuff for sale," and will instead meet that same seller with that same stuff at a flea market, because the flea market provides some small aura of respectability. But not a ton, so even more people will only shop at a "real store." The marginal cost of selling out of your house is essentially zero, but your market size is tiny. The flea market costs a little bit, but gives you a little bigger potential market. Getting into a retail store or a big online store like Amazon costs even more, but gives your a much bigger potential market. So as a seller, you do it, but of course all such outlets eventually try to maximize their own profits at the expense of the sellers, and so it continues.

> I still don't get why the government gave free money to companies to invest in their assets.

Because the sponsors of the bills and authors of the clauses used to work for the same ISPs and were functionally writing blank checks of taxpayer money to their old employers and present campaign donors.

Its why the FCC is almost wholly staffed by board members or C level management of big telecom.
Of course, a general audience of programmers prefers JavaScript and Python, because we want our languages to be both slow and incorrect.

More seriously, general programming always prefers performance over correctness, because correctnes is expensive and very few programs are rocket surgery where perfect correctness matters. We have languages decdicated to correctnes, like Ada and Coq. They are very niche because they are slow and they require a lot of work the programmer doesn't want to do to hold up their end of the bargain.

Lambda Papers (1975–1979)
Facebook's accumulation of a pattern of making major, surprise changes that are mostly about benefiting money-making, directly or indirectly. Super popular but seemingly more and more terrible as time goes on.
Misleading, but it's BuzzFeed, so what do you expect.

Facebook is essentially changing Groups so instead of 3 categories with inherent discoverability rules (Public (find via search), Private (find via search), Secret (can not find via search)), they're separating the concerns of "Can non-members view posts?" and "Can non-members find this group via search?"

So this is actually now more flexible!
Hacking USB / ANT+ to Cheat Zwift
Interesting, though note that when I say "trivial" I'm not referring to the amount of effort it takes on behalf of the programmer using the feature, but the amount of work that needs to be done (and hence CPU time that needs to be spent) when crossing the boundary from one to another and back again (which is often invisible in the source and implicitly inserted by the compiler/runtime). In Rust there is no cost to traversing this boundary (the only hypothetical cost being that inlining is more difficult (though still technically possible, miraculously) across language boundaries).
I think my comment is only at the top (for now, at least) because nothing in this thread is particularly upvoted. I certainly didn't mean to offend and I won't take issue if a moderator decides to remove my comment or "demote" it (for lack of a better word). I will say I don't think calling something "middlebrow" is actually a meaningful critique, and there's really nothing I can say in response to that.
If you put secret things in a military base. But then move them away and 5 years later the locks are broken there's nothing there anymore.

The physical world can't have all locks past, present and future broken simultaneously across the world, possibly without you knowing.

Knowingly and arbitrarily weakening encryption is risking those stakes for IMO not a good enough reason.

About the only things in common thinking about physical and digital security is the word security.
4K video too, which is only going to grow. And maybe cloud game streaming like xCloud/Stadia.
Check out https://xkcd.com/224/ . Many of us Lispers go through this phase where the universe appears to crystallize around Lisp concepts. Like Forth or APL and other languages built around a unifying theory there is a conceptual elegance which is mind-opening. Eventually most of us come back down to Earth but it is a fun ride.

There is also a mystique around the powers of Lisp. I do believe it is a massively expressive and powerful language in the hands of a master. But part of it is historical. During the heyday of Lisp it was the language of choice for the best hackers in the land and certainly was vastly more powerful for individuals/small groups than the existing alternatives. Today that talent base is just spread across so many other choices.

Obsessed? Or you just like it. I think obsession is a bit too strong in this context. I also pretty much like Lisp even though I cannot use it day to day because everybody else works in Java, Python, Go and most developers do not consider any of the Lisp languages production ready.

I understand the money part. My question is purely operational. Who is going to write me a check if Lofty AI, Inc. disappears? Do you have a contract with the 3rd party to do that?
Anybody who holds forth of syntactical matters (lambda calculus and LISP being two examples thereof) and commits the grammatical heresy of writing “I wasn’t going to go home” (emphasis mine) in lieu of “I wouldn’t be going home” has just neutered themselves, in my humble opinion at least.
With current digital sensors exposuring correctly doesn't even matter that much any more because of iso-invariance when under exposing photos. There's som uch information that wow. And yes, the auto exposure capabilities of the camera's are awesome if you have learnt how they work in different situations and how can you use them without fumbling.

Knowing the holy trinity (aperture, shutter speed and ISO) is still good to know and learning to use them in manual or in priority modes makes you understand the basic idea, how everything is related and what kind of settings are good for different situations.

I ended up being serious photography enthusiast. For me the currently most interesting thing to learn, is to try to make good photos with all-mechanical film Hasselblad without any automatics. That actually forces to think and plan a lot more about what you want before taking the photo. Also, really calculating holy trinity values in your head is fun (especially when you need to take into account additional nd filters and polarizers etc.

So if you photograph, try to shoot with different kind of gear and ways of photography. That teaches you a lot.
