NYC and Chicago do not seem to have the vast homeless issues that SF does.
What is the seasonality?

It looks like prices peak in the summer and bottom out in the winter. The difference in price isn't far off from what a Realtor would charge in commission (otherwise there would be arbitrage.)

Am I right about that?

Makes me think of the “diva dance” song from Fifth Element, which was thought couldn’t be sung.

Here it is sung by Dimash Kudaibergen, a 25 yo Kazakh:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=23HYymUjIHE&t=3m32s (at 3m30s)

He is university trained in classical as well as in contemporary music and is known for his wide vocal range of 6 octaves, from D2 to D8 (and 6 octaves and 5 semitones, from A1 to D8, with vocal fry). This spans from the bottom of the bass range beyond the top of the soprano range.

You can hear more typical range in the first half of that video.
Threads are bad for high concurrency. Specifically when you need to call out to another service that has some latency.

Say you have 1000 threads. To handle a request each one needs to make 50ms of external or DB calls. In one second, each thread can handle 20 calls. So you can handle 20k requests/second with 1000 threads. But Rust is so fast it can serve 500k requests a second. So with regular threads, you need ~25,000 threads. The OS isn't going to like that.

With async you can run a single thread per core, with no concurrency limits. So you get your 500k requests without overhead. With fibers you just run 20k fibers which is a little bit of overhead but easy to do.

This is the core reason everyone is pushing async and fibers in fast languages. When you can push a ton of requests/second but each one has latency you can't control, regular threads will kneecap performance.

In "slow" languages like Python, Ruby, etc, async/fibers don't really matter because you can't handle enough requests to saturate a huge thread pool anyways.

Thanks. I had heard about keyboard-api somewhere in Tridactyl issues page I think. Probably in the issue linked in that comment.

I'd love to see Mozilla helping a bit by enabling APIs that are necessary to make Tridactyl as immersive as Vimperator was.

I'm sure you already tried this, but did the Word app for Android work for the edited document? With Chrome OS support for Android apps, that might a solution for your acquaintance.
i guess you probably already forgot all the information leaked by Snowden and the PRISM project.

Should it? I don't like the trend of referring to companies/organisations/individuals as "those who made X thing". People aren't defined by one specific thing they did and also I think people would generally do well to be somewhat more aware of who actually makes the things they like anyways.
I know we're speaking broadly here and there's a lot of nuance to what constitutes right or wrong, but I think its pretty reasonable to say that if you're gaining money from being unethical, you are part of the problem - that's the issue.
The public perception of the carbon tax in Canada is just saddening. In a poll, 80% of Canadians responded that Canada's carbon tax had increased their cost of living. The poll took place two weeks before Canada's carbon tax was introduced.

Jack Snow was an absolutely brilliant illustrator -- he did every book after the first one, for a very, very long time. After L Frank Baum wrote the original 14, a few other authors picked up the mantle (Ruth Plumbly Thompson being the most prolific by far) and Jack Snow did all of those, until he authored a few books himself.

Sadly, none of the other authors quite captured the surrealism, magic, and originality of the original 14, but many of them were still fun to read.
Where can I get good quality forex data from?
I'm convinced RPC frameworks are the future of REST. It's too crufty without them. Most of the rails stack just isn't involved in those calls, so there's not much purpose using it.
> You believe in personal liberties over all,

I actually don't, so please don't make assumptions about what I believe. I do believe that people should not be ruled by autocrats for the benefit of the rulers, and that is inevitably what happens in autocratic systems. Democracy is the best system I know of for ensuring that governments work for the benefit of the people.

That doesn't mean the good of the individual trumps the good of society. Regular peaceful transfer of power is good for society and social harmony in the long run, because it's clear from history that the alternative is violent revolution or stagnation and collapse.

> I'd also like to point out that considering current world affairs, this is the worst time in decades to so confidently assert that democracy is the ideal form of government.

The Internet and other technological changes are disproportionately aiding autocrats and hurting democracies. I hope democracies will learn to cope with that, but whether they do or not, it doesn't make autocracy good.
They also have winter and humidity. The Bay Area climate is so average it’s a perfectly place to live outside. Try sleeping on a street in December in New York or Chicago. Similarly San Diego and Seattle have homeless populations.
> Is this author suggesting that you couldn't have made money by shorting Enron stocks milliseconds after the scandal was made public?

Enron's collapse was 18 years ago. I suspect if this happened today, with today's trading environment, the answer to your question would be "yes." The algos today will parse an article, enter & exit a trade faster, than a human can read the headline.

> So buying stocks in companies with good financial health is not profitable?

That alone, probably not. You need to have an edge. If everyone else knows it's financial health clearly, then the price is already "bought up."
A message broker works here when you want async behaviour but you are integrating with sync code. To use your REST example, you receive the call, send a message to DoSomething and then immediately return http 202, perhaps with some id the ui can poll on (if required). Meanwhile, the DoSomething message queue is serviced by a few threads.
Do you really want to burn a bridge with a16z/AH in the tech industry?

They may say "well played" in so many words, in public. Privately? They may be marshaling their bottomless war chest to unmake you.
The claim is that you can't do it consistently. Your sentiment detector has to more accurately capture the state of a randomly selected set of companies (not one selected with the benefit of hindsight, like Enron) based on news sentiment than the information already incorporated into the stock's price.
Amazon still runs a bunch of Perl in the back. Just because you're stuck with some design choice doesn't mean that framework has a solid future. People still write plenty of COBOL but you don't see any new applications using it
Just curious: how does WordPress with Rails admin work? What was lacking in the WordPress dashboard that required a Rails app as well?
They're internet points, they mean _nothing_. You are freaking out over a joke grandparent comment, and you're being downvoted here because of your overreaction. You wrote a paragraph to my simple comment of suggesting you disengage, but perhaps you really do just want this outrage. Good luck.
If you believe that "AI" is used differently in academia and in startups, then making it plain that you use the term in one or the other way could have helped clarify your meaning.

I agree that this thread is dragging on a bit, but it started with a very bold proclamation expressed in strident language criticising peoples' apparent ignorance of the subject- by yourself: "Good grief" and "When will people wake up" rather set the tone of your comment. If you choose to open a conversation like that, with a broadside against "peoples'" ill-informed views I would expect you are prepared to take a bit of criticism regarding the lack of depth of your own views. If not and my criticism has upset you, I apologise, but in that case, maybe you can try to be less provocative in how you express your views in the future, because provocativeness tends to elicit robust reactions.

Edit: In any case I just wanted to say: I get that you're annoyed by our conversation but I'd like to thank you for keeping it civil (if a bit tense) and not resorting to personal attacks. Cheers.
Canada doesn’t even have a President!

I believe in the US “Presidential alerts“ actually require approval from POTUS. What’s the intended protocol in Canada?
Who is to say they are not doing this? For all we know there is a shared database.
> That alone, probably not. You need to have an edge. If everyone else knows it's financial health clearly, then the price is already "bought up."

This is untrue. FAANG (all healtly companies) have been outperforming the S&P500 consistently. In fact, investing in FAANG is probably the "dumbest" smart play you can make. And, alas, you still come out on top.
Agreed, I'm an HKer who grew up there but am in the US now. There is a certain desperation that is palpable from talking to my friends back home.

They've been so let down by the HK govt that they've just given up all hope. Career sucks, family sucks, home sucks, can't marry cause houses are too expensive, rent is unaffordable so you can't move out, unless you're in the top 20% of your senior class, you can't go to college, it's grim. Most people I know are trying to move.

Unless the societal ills get solved, people will always find another proxy/reason to protest.
In the books of abstract algebra, try to read carefully without skimming. Skimming is a big temptation.

Use a lot of paper and pencil (and a trash bin) to copy the proofs and the solution of the solved problems. (Bonus points if you can think variants, and prove the variants or understand why the variants are false.)

Use more paper and pencil to solve the exercises.

For the research papers, the problem is that the style is too short. You must fill the blanks, and sometimes they are not obvious. In the first papers of a subject you may have to go very slowly, perhaps one page per hour or even slower. Copy the proof and fill all the blanks. [Note that the introductions and conclusions are sometimes too optimistic.]
I'm wary about git restore --staged. It seems backwards to have a destructive (worktree-modifying) command become non-destructive by adding a flag. To me, this appears more footgun-prone than git reset, which defaults to non-destructive behaviour and requires the ominous --hard flag in order to become destructive.

So I will probably avoid both git restore --staged and git reset --hard (and suggest to others to do the same). I hope git status will keep the hint to use git reset to unstage, even after git-restore becomes stable.
The contemporary homeless problem is vast, growing and almost exclusively along the West coast where climate permits year-round outdoor living.

As someone who owns a Tesla Model 3 and a BMW 528, the Tesla is waaaay more fun. If I had to buy another car today for some reason, there's no question it would be a Tesla.
And as far as build quality goes, are you kidding me? BMWs are notorious for super high maintenance costs.
La Costena is still around, it just moved further down Middlefield towards Sunnyvale, right before Ellis.

Sun had a similar app that would fax orders to Tony and Alba's pizza, though that closed a few years ago.
A detail of history connected to The Wizard of Oz that I particularly like, is that when the US Navy heard about 'Friends of Dorothy', they set up an investigation to try and catch Dorothy, to find out what she knew about gays in the military. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friend_of_Dorothy#Military_inv...
Which is exactly why liberal voters should move to Georgia. Georgia is purple, and it's close to going blue. It makes much more sense than concentrating these votes in California, which is as blue as it gets.

California votes are "useless", whereas Georgia votes "matter". (I don't mean to offend by this, but the swing states have an outsized impact.)

I voted out Karen Handel last election -- in a very close race -- which felt truly amazing.
China is different from those other countries and would face different challenges but the argument often made is that democracy is incompatible with Chinese culture or somehow otherwise inappropriate for Chinese people and that is simply not so.

Obviously democracy isn't traditional in Chinese culture, or just about any culture including "the West" if you look back more than few centuries, but that doesn't make it a bad idea.
It's nice to hear that there appears to be progress being made in making git's tooling nicer and more consistent. Git's model itself is pretty simple, but the command line tools for working with it aren't and I feel that this fuels most of the "Git is hard" complaints.
This looks very similar to products like Apache Nifi, Apache CDAP and Google Data Fusion. When would I pick prophecy.io over the others?
Exactly! We have a nation state budget for branding and marketing but nothing on business growth and we still can't write a statement about no employee ownership without coming across super condescending.

The comment you are replying to explicitly mentioned a "hostile state government", none of the ax-grindy stuff you're bringing up.
I believe there's a functionally equivalent system that comes from a group of people at DND who report directly to the PM's office and the privy council.

Possibly military/NORAD related, maybe at CFB North Bay, if they ever need to send an alert that is basically "ICBMs inbound, bend over and kiss your ass goodbye".
At the same time, wechat IS the most used app in China. So if you do want to keep up with Chinese mainlanders you're somewhat stuck (and I realize all the shit that comes with the app)...
Some people will want to have large families, but on average it seems that most people don't.
Conducting (some, specific/easy) trips with no action is easy. Even conducting most trips is likely doable within the near-ish future.

“Full autonomy” (at least to me) is being able to do any trip. Not just some or most. Because the key benefit is that the car can be empty, or the passenger drunk/blind/...

That’s what I think the crucial difference is between their marketed “full self driving” and true full autonomy.
Of course internet points mean nothing but you completely missed the part where I said that people are attacking my identity.

I didn't take the original comment very seriously but i did take the attacks on my identity very seriously.
Bookmarked this. Found that it displayed several stories I had not seen, at a glance. Will try adding it to my phone scroll-hole rotation.
CAPM, Fama French Three Factor, or five factor? Are you serious? They don’t work anymore but they did at one point. The foundation of modern finance is built on published Chicago school papers.
I've had multiple videos ContentIDed for years now, off and on, by certain 'copyright holders'.

The infringing 'works' are white noise.

Literally. I make open source software plugins and use Logic's signal generator sometimes to demonstrate the spectral content of these plugins. I'll get copyright strikes specifically for the purpose of hijacking the ad revenue of these videos, specifying that it's the noise (or filtered noise) content of the video.

They don't try to knock the video off YouTube, they are trying to mass claim all white noise on the platform to get whatever revenue they can until the real creator reassert their rights to their original content (at some risk: you are saying 'no, that is original content' to the YouTube machine and depending on the adversary to withdraw their claim in hopes of finding someone who is paying less attention)

This would directly affect those trolls, and those guys would indeed skulk away: it's what they do when you challenge them, because they want to operate without calling attention to themselves.
Where is anybody attacking your identity? What the hell does that even mean. After 24 hours, your comment can no longer be downvoted. There's only one other comment in a different thread capable of being downvoted, and it looks like you're being downvoted for a similar reason there too. You're participating in some fabricated outrage.

> Most productions use a recording of "room tone" to create a noise print, which is subtracted from the recorded audio to reduce noise. Software such as Adobe Audition have this built in.

Yes, this is what I used to do with REAPER (a digital audio workstation tool). It was even able to do this in soft real time (that's how I recorded my more recent courses) with only 10ms of delay.

But from my understanding it does this by dampening or removing (depending on how aggressive you have it configured) the frequencies of your room or whatever sound you're trying to remove.

A relatively low volume fan hum is pretty easy to remove without distorting the target audio, but if the frequencies start to overlap with varying degrees of volume the whole thing becomes a jumbled mess.

To put this into perspective, the video at the top of https://diveintodocker.com/ used REAPER's noise reduction plugin to remove a pretty loud tower and power supply fan. Even with studio grade headphones at max volume you probably won't notice a hint of hissing or white noise when I'm not speaking, but if you have a trained ear there's a subtle clamping down on the lower end of my voice's range. 99.9999% of people won't notice it, but this is also a best case scenario for removing frequencies (a constant low hum at relatively low volume) that rarely interweaves with my voice's frequency. The whole game changes with multiple instruments and volumes that cut across your range.
It definitely smells bad. For me it's not at all cold: it's very consistently nearly perfect weather for me. To me, Atlanta summers are comically, miserably hot.

My favorite thing about SF is that it is rarely hot and it's relatively close to incredible mountains. I'm certainly not here for the nightlife, food scene, or art/creative scene, but more power to those who are.
Yes, and Enron was incredibly healthy too. Netflix has recently seen a downturn. The "health" of companies is not a constant. Can you predict when it will sour? Or are you certain that these companies will never fail? If so, why?
It was a gamble, but we had a lot of leverage because we got major discounts with pre-tax money.
Any server is fast enough. If your web app is literally doing anything other than rendering empty pages the time a request spends in the web server will be an insignificant fraction of your total response time.

If all you needed from tokio was tokio::net, then async-std could work as a replacement for raw TCP stuff. If you needed the higher-level stuff from tokio like codecs then you'd not have those.

Also, anything from the tokio ecosystem like hyper would not work with async-std.

Edit: I originally had a first paragraph which was wrong. I mistakenly thought std::net::TcpListener is supposed to impl Read / Write.
Could Google have tried to play mediator with the media, by explaining like you just did, and encouraging a more enlightened and less sensational outcome?
He lived off selling his Google stock, where he worked before Netflix. :)
The important concept to understand about profitable investing is that you have to have a strategy that others are not also using.

Sure, investing in companies in good financial health is profitable. Unless everyone else does it too, and they drive up the price of the profitable companies, until all upside is gone (i.e., price is baked in). You're not better at finding profitable companies than anyone else.

Shorting stock on headlines? Sure, if you can beat everyone else. (You can't.)

The other is merely stating that, according to his analysis, apparently all these strategies did not bring an edge to the market.
>It's a good thing that async programming frameworks don't usually allow yielding from arbitrary places.

Someone said that I look down on people. I dont have the energy to look at people in any way, down or up. It's an attack on my character to say otherwise.
When a European preemptively tells an American that they're not the only ones on the Internet based on stereotypes about Americans, then yeah, that's kind of offensive. You've insulted Americans based on stereotypes, insulted web developers based on stereotypes, and when people point it out to you, you keep doubling down on it.

Let this Ugly American suggest to you that perhaps you should consider following the First Rules of Holes: when you're in one, stop digging.

I had the same result from most papers. My personal conclusion is that when people get a winning strategy they don’t publish. I personally put my money where my mouth was for a few years:

https://austingwalters.com/backtesting-our-100-yoy-profit-ge...

That being said, I try to be honest too. This can disappear any time and the model I use may only be good in this environment. I do not know. I think that’s the challenge with papers, you don’t honestly know when or if the strategy works. It clearly won’t forever regardless.

That’s why I don’t share my exact method. And after doing all the research myself AND trying to sell my algorithm. I honestly don’t think the industry knows what it’s doing either. People are worried about sharpe ratios and all this BS stuff. The reality is for these models you mitigate risk via temporary and ever changing methods. Can’t really publish on that.
I feel that teenagers aren't as different from adults are you think they are, although they might be more likely to consolidate their frustrations with something pithy like "bubble color".
