No, not particularly what I'm looking for, but it's probably to do with my own personality traits rather than any universal truth... You make a valid point.

But the thing about human desires is that, typically, you want to fulfill all of them, and you can easily satisfy the need for creativeness by working on a book solo for a couple of hours, then satisfy the need to socialize by helping your significant other out cooking a meal and raising a child.

To speculate a bit further: I would suppose that lack-of-creative-outlet is more likely to be unmet as a basic human desire in most people than lack-of-socializing, although I do grant that loneliness is on the rise.

And, last but not least, if the goal of writing the novel is to write a good novel, there's an argument to be made that creative endeavor is what it's actually about.

Pretty much as far as I can tell. My rule is that after finding more than one path where a company is generating metrics through a scheme where it is on both ends, I figure they are all in on the misrepresentation/fraud aspect.

You have to stop using interfaces to avoid boxing your value types. Go should monomorphize functions.
I generally agree with you, but not if you add escape routes for the money so that people of means can avoid said personal income tax. See capital gains rate, owner-operated business rate, all the non-taxed perks that businesses provide to execs (e.g. using corporate jet as private jet). You also have to staff the tax collector appropriately to enforce the boundary between corporate and personal income.
Ooh. I look forward to deploying this on Iron Arachne's stack.
Well the argument, if I correctly understand, is that the less liquid stocks in index funds are getting pumped up because investor demand for passive stocks is outweighing active price discovery. This would exhibit a cyclical pattern where as passive outperformed, more investors switch over which continues to pump bad stocks and so on. Then in a downturn, even if you hold, as investors get scared and pull their cash out of the index fund, those less liquid stocks will get hammered by the double factor of their being already overvalued and also thinly traded, dragging passive performance way down.

Not saying I agree but, if he's right it makes complete sense that passive would outperform active right now, just that in the next downturn it would dramatically underperform.
From the primitivetechnology guy I heard the same. He also gives another tip, similar to part of ritual from the article:

A lot of toxic plants can be washed with clean flowing water for a few days. Chop them up and put them with a net in a clean natural stream if available for three days or so. Test the end result for the same way you would do with other unknown edibles (armpit, lips, etc).

One could probably try all the mentioned ritual techniques.
What are the types of investors that will invest in WeWork after IPO? I can see that even on regular investment forums they think it’s a joke...

Will it be daytraders? Index funds? Or just “suckers” that have a fear of missing out?

Try before you buy, if you can. The A7III's auto focus is slower on adapted lenses than on the EF lenses. It's still impressive, but the Alpha + EF combination is compelling.
That's correct. Startups, freelancers, side-hustlers. In short, people that just want a nice logo, but don't have the budget and / or time to work with a professional design agency.

Regarding mathematics and aesthetics: whenever you generate something with an algorithm, you'll inevitably give up some kind of variation. An algorithm only works within a subset of all possibilities. So I don't think logo generators can do everything that a designer can.

But for a lot of people it's the perfect option. You'll get a good logo for a friendly price.
Is this bug exposed only on systems with 1 byte words? I'm struggling a bit to understand the exposed bug and, while I understand the whole point is that there are lots of issues of this kind that can hide in code pretty innocently it'd be nice to actually comprehend this one.
Yes, I understand that, and am well aware of Godel's position on its application. Hence my statement that I extrapolate it further than intended.

My extrapolation is influenced by the Curry-Howard isomorphism, equating computer programs and mathematical proofs. Extrapolation to "reality" and philosophy, to me, comes from my belief of computing as universal and that consciousness is not so separate from computing.
You can also see a massive jump leading up to 2012. Right now camera sales are still well above the basal rate established during the 70s, 80s, 90s.

The camera isn't dead, it's just not being purchased by people who don't want to learn how to use them.

Isn't UBI and negative income tax mathematically equivalent?

Let's say you have $1000 UBI and 20% income tax. Then the money you end up with after UBI and taxes is 0.8x+1000 dollars.

That's the same as paying 20% (signed) income tax above $5000 where you end up with x - (x-5000)*0.2 = 0.8x+1000 dollars.

As a thought experiment, let’s replace “really hot” with “poison”. Do you think it’s reasonable to blame the customer for inadvertently drinking poisonous coffee from a chain when all other chains sell poison-free coffee? What if it comes with instructions like “just wait 20 minutes and the poison will evaporate”—does this sufficiently clear the company in your view?

How is unusually hot temperature significantly different from poison in this situation?
You're being silly. All you have established is that cars and cameras are very different things governed by different laws.

The point others were making is much more simple: neither DSLRs or purpose-built sports cars are particularly convenient for casual utilitarian use. People who buy both of these things lean more towards the 'hobbyist' side of things.

You are absolutely right that there are many people who lug their DSLR everywhere. But I think you might be underestimating just how many people actually do go to racetracks.

Of course, some people own fancy things as status symbols. But also, hobbyists don't have to continually "exploit the capabilities" of their hobby to be legitimate hobbyists either.
I think the plan was to get high performance stuff into the browser, with languages like C/C++ and Rust and not to replace JS with Python, C# or Java.

But well, I guess people will do it anyway, let's see how this plays out in the long run.
A total market index fund is proportioned by market cap. As the large cap gets larger, it proportionally becomes a higher percent of the pie. If large cap is overvalued, youre owning less small cap than "true price market cap."
FIPS is a double-edged sword in my experience. On one hand it does set a standard to keep total snake oil crypto out of government. On the other hand it often has the side effect of mandating worse and older crypto and slowing update cycles when there's a bug. When SSL bugs are discovered vulnerable SSL libraries tend to sit around for a lot longer on FIPS-controlled hosts because they have to wait for a FIPS-validated update.

When I was a developer on some enterprise software, our pattern was that while features were developed against the newest codebase, bug-fixing was done against the oldest supported version that exhibited the bug, and then rolled forward from there to all other releases.

This avoided the cherry picking entirely.

> The amendment does not change the legal status of cannabis however, and must be renewed each fiscal year in order to remain in effect.

A step, but it's not legalized.
I do this the whole time, creating many small commits, fixing up, squashing etc but to keep things a bit orderly I also usually do the rebase -i fairly often in order not to end up with more fixup commits that are easy to fit on screen. But yes: this workflow seems to suit me particularily well and changed the way I work with git. And it tends to lead to a nicely crafted, clear and easy to follow history of all steps of adding a new feature and/or refactoring things and made me more productive and seems to cause less bugs/mess overall because I review pieces of code more often.

That's what Tung Chee-Hwa tried to do as the first beijing friendly chief executive. Beijing can't decide what the legco votes for (since the functional constituency is by definition allocated to the local oligarchy who prefer to keep the status quo of focusing on wealth management, private banking than building productive, middle-class-geared economies).
This short explanation put the reasoning behind this in the best context for me, but makes me wonder more about the dissimilarities.

Are there other factors like in the housing market of a decade+ ago? Is there a lot of risk for Joe Six-Pack? Are there people out there borrowing money from banks with poor underwriting practices getting into index funds when they should not be doing so?

I'd think if this is most peoples' 401k and surplus income at risk that there may be a huge market correction but it won't devastate the economy. If people take the long term view and if investors sit tight and wait for the cycle to move into recovery again they'll be OK. If however they need to live off returns on their investments in the present (like homeowners needed a place to live during the crash) then they're in trouble.
I guess I can't blame him for trying (okay, I can and do), but it is a very brazen example of self-dealing. I'd really like to collect my normal compensation at the same time that I use company resources to outsource my work to... myself... and pocket that as well.
Mainly because things might work differently in a WASM runtime than they would in native code. A chief example is filesystem access. The WebAssembly System Interface (https://wasi.dev) uses capability-based access to files, so WASM modules are unable to open or write to paths that are not explicitly passed to them, with appropriate permissions, by the WASM runtime.

So there's effectively another layer of sandboxing versus a native binary, and you might need to track down how your program behaves in that sandbox.

Similarly, if you're working with a program that imports several WebAssembly modules, you'll need a way to debug the combined system, versus any single module in isolation.
This, and also proper out-of-the-box IDE for refactoring, completion etc. Reason/OCaml do have the proper IDE, just not out-of-the-box.
Unit tests are hardly the only kind of testing needed. First, they're completely decontextualized (hopefully), so they don't show the code working in any sort of broader context. Second, they only show the code is consistent with itself, not consistent with requirements. More to the point, unit tests are tests by programmers for programmers, rather than by business for business.

For any mildly complex modern app, you need integration tests to show context, and behavioral/functional tests (Cucumber) to show the code actually does what it's supposed to do according to the customer.
I don't want to take a side in the dynamic vs static typing debate, specially since my favourite languages are Common Lisp and OCaml and it would be difficult for me to choose either, but I wouldn't say your argument of having to keep everything on the head holds if we consider the whole array of dynamic language offerings.

Compared to toys like Perl, Ruby, Python, etc., proper dynamic languages (Lisp, Smalltalk) have state of the art debuggers, browsing and discoverability tools and let you backtrack, experiment and tweak your program in an iterative fashion. They are indeed "little brain" friendly and the development experience matches or surpasses those of compilers and classical IDEs.

I am so much more productive in LispWorks than, say, IntelliJ+Java it isn't even funny.
This goes beyond Google. Data aggregators in general are greedy bastards and absolutely refuse to throw anything away.

Gotcha. My misunderstanding.
If you replace AWS with Heroku in your statement, I agree. Heroku abstracts the redundant AWS resources for you so you can just “run your app”. However, Heroku also had a huge outage. That is way more problematic as far as I am concerned.

I think the pretend/appearances work is necessary. If we look at Price's Law, it suggests that 50% of the work is done by the square root of the population doing that job. Really, all the work could get done by just having the top productivity percentile do work. The problem is, the top percentile isn't going to do work if everyone else is getting to not at least pretend to work. I know I wouldn't.
> Obviously people here don't value or respect my opinion for example.

While it may seem like that, people aren't valuing your opinion that involves beliefs or views that can inherinitly make groups of people feel discriminated against. A person that identifies as non-binary or gender-fluid would not feel comfortable being around your opinions.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions and beliefs, but when you say whatever you believe you have to understand the potential to be disliked because of that.

People constantly view your dongle jokes or whatever as being insane that you can't make them anymore, but the thing is even before it wasn't socially acceptable, people still were made uncomfortable by it.

> What practical consequences did Tiananmen Square have?

CCP is still grappling with it.

Quote "As foundational as the crackdown at Tiananmen may have been to the CCP’s current strength, it remains largely invisible to the people. Despite claiming the moral high ground against what it calls a “counter-revolutionary” rebellion, the Party is still sensitive to the fact that its slaughter of students and laborers put a stain on its legitimacy."

They may also look like separate events on the timeline, but still part of the same overall movement. Change doesn't happen overnight.
> The halting problem may have been mathematically disproven by finding one highly convoluted counter example, but it's more significant failing is that it is infinite and thus can not be implemented on a machine with finite limits.

I agree that would be a better way to teach it, but Turing machines have infinitely-long tapes -- the really unexpected result is that you couldn't solve the Halting Problem even if you had (countably) infinite tape and infinite time to do it. The same probably holds for uncountably-infinite tapes too (the "burrito" counterexample still breaks it), though you can't really address a tape that long for obvious reasons.
If UBI is to replace other social programs then why would you not pay it to children as well?
I think there are a few good points made by Burry. When comparing across different market segments, today's climate of popular-index-funds can cause bubbles in some segments. For example, everyone and their grandmother invests in the S&P 500, whereas much fewer people are investing in the MSCI EAFE. Because of this, VOO can become over-valued relative to VEA.

I agree with this point and have wondered about it myself. I highly encourage everyone to diversify across all market segments, including the S&P 500, mid-cap, small-cap, developed markets and emerging markets. That mitigates the potential S&P-500 bubble that Burry might be warning against.

But that said, I don't think it's fair to accuse index funds of causing specific stocks to become over-valued relative to other stocks within the same index. By design, market-weighted index funds maintain the relative prices of different stocks within the same index. Ie, if a whole bunch of people sell their houses tomorrow and invest in the S&P 500, all the stocks in the index will get an equal percentage lift, and pricing ratio of GOOG to MMM will still remain consistent.

Note however, that equal-weighted indexes do not have this property. Imagine if the US government decided tomorrow that it was going to invest $10T in the stock market, using equal-weighting. This would translate to ~$20B for every stock in the S&P 500. The biggest stocks like GOOG would see an incremental boost, because $20B is still only ~2% of their market cap. Whereas the smallest stocks in the index would see their share price skyrocket because $20B would more than double their market cap.
Power seems like the big wildcard in data center management. So tough to properly test your failover preparations, and so many different ways things can go wrong.

I know of a large company that had the data center emergency cutoff button next to the automatic doors on the way out. Sure enough, a contractor hit it one day thinking it was the way to open the doors.
So API gateways are becoming Services Meshes and Service Meshes are becoming API gateways. Have we reached critical mass on number of solutions? Will they start to consolidate?
Context Package Semantics in Go
Sign confusion: malloc takes size_t, so negative numbers are just really large numbers to malloc. A negative int passes the check after adding the cast, because we’re now comparing with signs and now a negative number is smaller than a positive one, so malloc will be called with the larger value. Since it gets multiplied you will also overflow and get pretty much any size. There’s a DoS opportunity at least.

The correct fix is to cast the input to unsigned, I think.
Iirc size_t is unsigned and int is signed, normally, but raw casting in c compares bits, so limit will always be very large. Take with a grain of of salt this info, I can't verify right now.

Edit: proper explanation above. I got some things wrong.

>anything I'd call democracy in 2019

Democracy was created in Ancient Greece, so it may or may not surprise you to learn Democracy itself isn't anything you'd call democracy in 2019 either, as they were a "slave state" also and not everyone actually had the right to vote (in fact women couldn't vote, own/inherit land)...so maybe post Revolutionary America was a lot closer to Democracy than you think...but either way its a Republican form of Government (at least according to the Constitution) not a democracy.
I'm a big fan of UBI as a replacement for all sorts of welfare bureaucracy and so I was looking forward to a well thought out argument.

This is the worst possible article one could write against UBI.

But the article is not written for fans, to convince them otherwise, it's to prevent people from becoming fans.

> Pocket IS Mozilla* and it seems like people would be more ok with the integration if they knew this.

I'm less forgiving. The Pocket service is proprietary - this technology couldn't fall into the right hands - and it directly competes against open web standards like RSS/Atom. I honestly don't know how they justify it against the Mozilla Manifesto.
