That is a very confusing headline.
Just look at how poorly all the various recommendation systems out there work and be comforted by the fact that any such algorithm will be easily approximated with a random number generator.
I really don't mean this as a knock on the work you do.. but what is the actual complexity of the operations you're describing? From what little I understand of it, all HFT operations are designed to be as simple as possible. Like.. I've read that the decision to the order engine could be as simple as a comparison between two numbers (some kind of arbitrage model), and the price adjustment could be just a simple addition/alpha adjustment. Basically, the offline/non-realtime stuff in HFT is way more complicated than the live/real-time stuff.
I agree with your thesis that facts don't matter when forming public opinion. Feelings and perceptions matter much more.

I do disagree about the mechanism. I don't find that humans are very generous to one another - public opinion very often assumes the worst and takes the least generous interpretation. People are more than happy to vilify a reckless driver who caused a death.

I think the mechanism here is media coverage. We are still seeing articles pushed out by media corporations about this one accident from a year ago. Meanwhile, human drivers kill thousands of people a day and you don't hear a peep about it. So naturally public opinion becomes scared of self driving cars and ignorant of the real issue.

All of that is really tangential to my point, though. My point is that "feelings over facts" is grossly immoral when ignoring facts causes tens of thousands of preventable deaths each year.
If the model is failing as you describe, then more competition is a good thing. Consumers will flock to whoever that provides better service for what it is they’re willing to pay.

I’m not sure how consumers suffer - if trained or untrained contractors fail at their jobs, consumers take their business elsewhere.

It sounds like you’re against Amazons delivery practices. Fine. But the more competition there is, the better. UPS or Fedex absolutely shouldn’t own the private delivery market.
Kinda.

It's true that monetary policy is pushing up asset prices, so that while there is little to no inflation in consumer goods and wages, the real costs of education and housing have increased.

This is kinda like a pincer movement on the well being of the millenial generation.

That being said, being part of a depression isn't that great for welfare either.

At the moment, there just aren't many credible alternatives to 'zero interest rates forever' monetary policy, and so the phenomena described in this article is likely to get worse before it gets better.
As an independent developer I really want to know what features of my app are actually being used (and what devices they're using it on, OS versions, etc). I try to talk to my users but you only hear from the loud annoying ones, not the silent majority and the conclusions are inevitably wrong.

I'd love a tool like differential privacy to gather statistics in a provably anonymous way. Without a tool like that, only companies with shedloads of money (like Google, Microsoft, Apple) can afford the market research (or the amount of spaghetti to throw at the wall) to compete.
Off-topic, but the number of times people misspell Colombia as Columbia is very high and I'm (more) disappointed in FB for letting it pass.
I introduced a thin process at my last job called "capacity setting". It's more abstract than just tech debt, but highly autonomous while still being aligned to the company's needs and goals - including making it clear on one page what the team is working on and why. It worked out reasonably well as Tech Leads were able to control capacities and the business was able to see justification of why we're working on various elements and how much of each.

Here's the brief. Will be glad to answer any questions.

This is veering wildly off topic but I'm curious: don't you think people in their early 20's would also be on a wildly "different clock"? I'm only slightly older than you are and through a weird series of event ended up frequenting a WhatsApp group populated mainly by people in their early 20s and the culture shock is pretty large.

People in their early 20's are generally students, they have different priorities, lower incomes, different cultural differences etc... It seems easier to find 40yo who share my interests and my lifestyle in my experience.
Yes, the user/client facing app is a separate website from the admin panel site.

They share much of the same underlying data access and business logic code, but the screens that let you see all the clients, change SKUs, monitor billing, impersonate a user, generate reports, etc. just would not exist on the public-facing site.

Underneath both sites/apps are talking to the same database(s).

Funny coincidence (?) naming the first batch Aspen, which was the code name for iPhone OS 1.0.
I recently joined GitLab to lead its all-remote initiatives. I've lived and worked remotely in a variety of settings (all-remote, remote-first, part-remote, etc.) and I'm building out pages within GitLab's publicly accessible All-Remote section to hopefully answer questions like these. The hub is here (as mentioned by langitbiru — thank you!): https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/

We're sharing what we've learned scaling the company to over 800 people across nearly 60 countries, 100% remote with no offices. The goal is to share this knowledge and see other organizations replicate, iterate, and evolve.

Just the fact that the author chose to call Michael Burry's well thought out premise "silly" - tells you most of what you need to know about what is being pitched in the article. I've never seen Burry say anything that qualified as silly, even when a premise of his doesn't play out as dramatically as predicted. Silly is entirely contrary to his personality and analysis, it's attempting to lead the reader and argue via ridicule (where did we see that before?).
Not easy to understand.
It’s not useful to me because it’s not accurate. I already knew everything it told me about myself and recognized the parts that weren’t accurate, but what can I do with that information? I can’t expect that its conclusions about anyone else or how to relate to them are any more accurate.
Depends who is speaking; I've heard the vowel sound in "muck" spoken as any of ʌ, ə, or u by native English speakers from different regions.
Wow, Googlers in full force today.

This isn't a market that needs to be powered. This is a market that needs to be shut down. Targeted advertising is inherently harmful to society.
Climate deniers have managed to ignore inconvenient, extensive data for decades. I doubt they see a need to perform an act of war to prevent a trickle of additional data.
Traffic cameras don't give anywhere near the detail that crowd sourcing from mobile phones do, and you're just trading off one form of tracking which actually can be secured via DP, with another -- government CCTV cameras -- which CAN identify you via license plate recognition, and indeed, often DO. (https://www.eff.org/pages/automated-license-plate-readers-al...)

Moreover, there are public safety reasons to use crowdsourcing. To give one very important example, early-warning earthquake detection for example, where seconds of warning are crucial. Millions of people are walking around with mobile seismometers, which in aggregate, could detect with high degree of accuracy, an earthquake as soon as it starts, and notify people within 1-5 seconds. It can only filter out false positives by sampling a vast number of motion sensors over a large area, and such a notification system can only work if it is virtually free of false positives (https://myshake.berkeley.edu/) This technology could save many lives, but needs differential privacy to be secure.

Differential privacy does not exist because of Google, was not invented by Google, and is part of the academic research of the crypto/security community.

I can't speak about my company in aggregate, but I can speak about myself, and I and many of my peers do care about privacy, with cryptographically strong guarantees. I've been doing this for more then 20 years, shipped one of the first anonymizing web proxy servers in 1996, worked on early forms of crypto-currency, remailer and onion networks, long before they hit the public consciousness. The people interested in these things work on them because they believe in them and are passionate. Not everything people work on is done because of ads. Chrome didn't need to ship RAPPOR in 2014, there's no business model for it. Likely, it was driven by people who felt deeply about the need to do it.

The other hyperbolic claims are not worth addressing.
For most people and organizations with effectively unlimited money, the answer to “What should we do?” is “Do something with least effort and just barely within the law to make even more money.”
This looks interesting, I am looking for a new way to plot my fitbit data exports (right now using Python with Pandas and Matplotlib), but I still need to find a good way to store all that data before plotting it!

Note that "cheaper labor markets" doesn't have to mean overseas. Mexico is only a few hundred miles from many US population centers. And US federal minimum wage is still only $7.25. "Cheaper labor market" for California city jobs could just be Nevada or Utah.

My imagined internal security review to this issue Hard "no", closing WONTFIX. This change would significantly increase the attack surface, risking a lot for very little upside. See "Epic 769 (Offline Support - roadmap Q3 2020)" for blocking & related issues

I hope people are aware that Google has filed patents for Batch Normalization and Dropout. Both methods are very broad.
As someone involved in computational geoscientific research, finding new ways to visualize and present data is a persistent challenge. We don't use Javascript much (read: ever) in day-to-day work, but I think there is enormous potential there for viz of post-processed data.

This article gives a great intro to D3.js, and I'll be looking into it more. A colleague also recently showed me Dash by Plotly [0] which may be of interest to folks in a similar situation.

"Always" seems like a stretch. I just selected a random month of the google.ai blog archive and 5 of 5 were written by non-PMs.
I don't buy the liquidity argument. Their mere existence creates liquidity. Two sides to every trade. Index fund "sell offs" will likely go to buyers of the same index fund shares but at a lower price.

Apple alone has $50 billion in cash that will flow into Vanguard if index funds hit a 50% plunge. Same with Buffet. Index funds may be bubble priced, but they don't suffer from a liquidity issue.

I'd be interested in your response to the criticism that MBPI assigns binary categories to things that are largely normally distributed?
The current US administrations tact is "the science is wrong" or "the science is being misinterpreted". Why go to the trouble of some cloak and dagger mission when you can simply ignore it.
I don't think they're associated, but they seem to have a similar function. secushare has a comparison page where they compare their project to others (including RetroShare) for various use cases, so you might want to take a look at that. (https://secushare.org/comparison)
No magic here. The gist of what he said was that they did a design that had 100% coverage but the company pulled back from doing that.
I don't follow the logic behind either of your statements. Could you please elaborate?

Only wish the frameworks were more open sourced.
> Facebook already has the largest issue for dating apps solved: the network chicken-and-egg problem. Dating apps are non-exclusive

wasn't the first feature on mobile dating apps to take in your facebook social graph?

Tinder had this 6 years ago? It would show you if you had mutual friends via your facebook social graph

maybe people didn't know that was because of their facebook connect?
Facebook can't resist the trove of data and traffic the dating app will deliver.

Those intelligent enough to understand must lead the sheep to safety.

Facebook should be boycotted by everyone who understands their corporate culture well enough to know that they are a predatory data company.
Can confirm it's still going; our first was an autumn baby and had his daytime naps by the open tenenment window. Sash and case barely keeps the cold out anyway when they're closed!
Ads don't always (and you could argue rarely) show their target demographic.

I see plenty of overweight people in ads for diabetes treatments. I see plenty of fit people in ads for workout machines. Right now I see an ad on the side of a bus encouraging people to get free STD testing, and it shows people dancing at a club.

There are aspirational ads, but the use of "rare" in your comment doesn't reflect reality.
> which isn't beneficial or desirable to consumers?

Why? They're paying moneys through conversions, which is a pretty significant commitment and proof of its usefulness. You can argue that there's no real incrementality here, but I can tell you that at least half of ad revenues in general very likely have causal relationships from my observation.
D3.js was surprisingly pleasant for me to work with. It made it pretty easy to implement x-splines.

https://jordi.platinum.edu.pl/xsplines/splines.html

Some day, I should try to work and get x-splines into more drawing programs; I really do find them a lot easier to work with than other kinds of splines.
They just don't care.
Requirement to sell across the board seems to be the unique issue.
> Burry made the unanswered point that in a sell-off large index funds will have to dump their smaller holdings at large discounts.

First, I think he didn't made that point very clearly. Second, why would they be sold at a larger discount than larger holdings? It is all in proportion - they own less and sell less of the smaller holdings.

(There are issues conceivable where you have a liquidity mismatch (bonds, real estate), but I haven't seen a solid elaboration of that point. It's the good old "people worry about bond market liquidity" meme that Mark Levine pokes fun at in his Bloomberg Column "Money Stuff".)
Anyone know articles on how to integrate d3 with virtual-dom libraries like ReactJs ?
Because people love ways to easily label themselves, feel a part of something/feel different and this is one such way. It also happens to be in a short, snappy four letter format.

Just look at the amount of Twitter bios that have Myers-Briggs personality types listed on them.
Do you know SQL? Storing it in a local PostgreSQL database and using PostgREST for D3 to access it would let you slice and dice in addition to graphing.
Well,

1) To track the actual index, index funds must continually rebalance their portfolio. In a liquidity pause they may not be able to do this, thereby becoming a non-index fund. Actively managed funds have the portfolio they have -- unless they're defrauding the public somehow. An index fund that becomes a non-index fund would fall in this latter category.

2) The index (not the funds) is assumed to reflect all the information that can be used to make some money by arbitrage. This process is referred as "price discovery". But in a liquidity pause, price discovery grinds to a halt. Actively managed funds have their own idea of what are the fundamental prices beyond what the public leaderboard says; their price discovery is not beholden to the existence of a liquidity market. Actually -- if the market goes for years with very low liquidity, it becomes more likely that people who, say, are shorting Herbalife for fundamental reasons, have more knowledge than the index. In this way the index is like an AI that can become starved for data.
All dating apps target millennials... because they are developed by millennials. When will SV get for once that they don't get their demographic as they have nothing in common with people 40+. For example, except Microsoft, no other SV company gets families. I was surprised by the idiotic family support Google offers in their ecosystem and especially Google One. Same with Spotify, Netflix, etc. Facebook with their "family" support of children less than 13 is totally idiotic as well (scrapbooks or whatever they call it) - and so is their "dating" app! They just don't innovate these days - they just copy competitors in sick hopes to make people come back.
Why the Marshall Islands Is Issuing Its Own Cryptocurrency
The good news is that tanking stocks don't actually hurt a company - except possibly if it's in dire and urgent need of more capital, but then the problem is that the company wasn't doing well to begin with.
Thanks very much! We're building out the all-remote section with new pages on a regular basis. Just added dedicated sections for people, jobs, meetings, compensation, hiring, etc.

Not really. The most popular index funds physically invest their capital in the stocks making up the index:

>To me, that seems like a cultural thing unique to Silicon Valley that the rest of the world does not necessarily want.

It makes a ton of sense from their business perspective, which is to sell highly personalized ads. If you have one single internet persona, it is far easier to tailor ads to you.
At least in the UK, the royal family is adamantly non-political.
Sure, but that social graph didn't instantly have Tinder. This is built into the Facebook app, you don't even need to install another app. Much easier to get a larger network faster.
Super detailed and interactive exploration of the whole D3.js API. Beautiful to click through, insightful to read!
What is up with Softbank? It seems to be throwing a lot of its money into overvalued late stage funding rounds for companies that don't really have growth potential left in them.
The idea that we've never had a market correction with passive holdings at current levels is accurate. It also was an accurate statement in 2008, and it also applies to foreigners and mutual funds now, both of which have increased their holdings of equities over time and both of which have substantially greater holdings than index funds.

I've gotten the React and RN books from FullStack. I reference them regularly because they're both great workbooks and reference books. I'm sure Wattenberger's D3.js book is similarly exceptional.
Did not work for my son. One problem: these are really thick and warm, so using them in a Houston summer night is murder.
I didn't want to use something like tmuxinator for annoyance at one more dependancy on random machines, and write bash scripts to make custom sessions as necessary.

This appears to way easier to do tricky things super fast than the wildly obscure language needed to write a small script, and its literally just a bash script itself, meaning it's as portable as almost anything. I love it.

Thank you OP! (Assuming you are the author of the tool given usernames here and github)
The reason I would upgrade from there is PCIe 3.0+, and thus support for fast NVME cards. They are almost as much a step up again from SATA SSD, as SATA SSD was from spinning rust IMHO

IIRC the sandy bridge generation could only do PCIe 2.0.
I highly recommend reading the Selenian Boondocks series on Venus ISRU. There's a lot of useful stuff there, it's relatively easy to extract in gas phase processing, but you're still missing a few things. Also, at the right altitude Venus is one of the more pleasant locations in the solar system. Like, wander around outside with goggles and a breathing mask pleasant.

But the Venusian surface is death and it really is very challenging to land a rover there. Better to deploy flying robots than rovers for now.

Technically, the S&P 500 isn't actually the largest 500 companies by market cap. S&P has a committee that decides to exclude some stocks.

That said, for all practical purposes it is basically the 500 largest companies.
