The map is not the territory.

Even Socrates was recognizing this, that you couldn't really know the topic of a writing without having been there, done that, yet writing could help recall.

And there are plenty of examples of 'book knowlege' being essentially ignorance, e.g., passing a certification exam is a far cry from being able to reliably sort out the issues in the field. So, we must not expect to rely on writing (& other media) exclusively.

That said, (good & valid) writing and other forms of stored information can of course both before encountering a situation to truly learn it more quickly, and afterwards to help recall detail.

Similarly, GPS can be used as a crutch to allow people to get anywhere without developing even so much as a clue as which direction is North, or can be used to enhance the precision and speed of expert navigators.

So, even though the Map is not the Territory, that does not mean that maps are useless, only that they need to be used properly, and with mindfulness of how you curate your own knowledge and skills.
As far as stock exchange companies go, they’re fairly well concentrated in the UK.

Meanwhile the NYSE is owned by ICE with tons of EU operations after buying Euronext (ie: Paris and Amsterdam to name 2).

Nasdaq owns a bunch of Baltic and Scandinavian exchanges.

The Boursa Italia isn’t exactly a juggernaut in EU/world terms.

And there’s lots of exchanges for Italian companies to list on if they want good access to their shares (e.g. Ferrari cross listed in NY).

When you say this what do you mean?

Here are some statements of my own, typed quickly on a phone before I head to work:

-Electrons do not in general have quantized energy; only bound electrons have a discrete energy spectrum

-Electrons do not necessarily have a single energy; although energy eigenstates form a basis that can describe all states, very often the electron won't be in a pure eigenstate

-Single electron models are simplifications; in general, atoms will have multielectron states that are very difficult to write down or reason about; it's deep and non-obvious why single electron models do so well at describing behavior of multielectron wavefunctions
I'm on the fence about whether adding the weasel word "virtually" is any better.

Using Clojure CLR would make the build process simple, at the cost of some complexity and likely a performance penalty in the deployed application.

On the other hand, my strategy makes the final deployed application dead simple and fast, but leads to a build process that's complex and messy.

It seems objectively true that the latter approach is going to be less risky, because if the final deployed game doesn't work well, the whole project is f###ed.

The only way to mitigate this risk and still stay with 100% Lisp is to create your own Lisp compiler, which is exactly what OP did... but that way lies insanity :)

If you think single-payer health insurance "necessarily would require" abolishing private insurance, then you simply have no idea what you're talking about. E.g., Canada, the UK, and France are three examples of single-payer systems where private health insurance still exists. So certainly single-payer does not "necessarily require" no private insurance.
I would be very surprised if you could find any sigle-payer system that does not also have a private health insurance market.

If you understand what single-payer health insurance is, then it actually veers close to irrationality to believe that having it would abolish private health insurance.
0.0051% of the study group, to be precise.

The more interesting trend, which isn't covered in the abstract, is that profitability is inversely correlated with how long you stay at it. It was 30% of people who day traded for one day and gave up on it, and steadily dropped down to 3% for people who kept at it for more than 300 days.

As a stats person, that struck me as a very evocative distribution. The paper put it nicely: "This peculiar pattern is similar to what we would fi􏰄nd, for instance, in the casino roulette."

The next thing I would want to know is, if you model the stock market as a machine that simply gives random payouts drawn from some distribution, what is the probability that a set of 1,551 groups of 300 random draws from that distribution would contain at least one set that averages more than $310? If the paper ran such a model, I didn't see it.

My fear is that what makes apple money is inherently an expensive, shitty phone for everyone. They are incentivized to keep us purchasing high dollar products, not to make quality products.

I’d stop complaining about the hardware so much if they allowed independent app stores with better curation. Together makes me look for alternatives (which also suck mostly for software reasons).

Jackie Chan once credited Buster Keaton as an influence on his own acting and film making, which, in my book, makes him a cultural-epochal appropriator. Late 20th century Hong Kong film actors must not be allowed to imitate or mock early 20th century Hollywood silent film actors.
In theory isn't it "just" a matter of agreeing a DHCP option number, then having the DHCP client (or vpn client or whatever) be responsible for passing it to applications that want it (including the system resolver, be that mDNSResponder, systemd, glibc, whatever windows uses)

Anyone who wants to can configure their dhcp client to ignore it, or use a different service, you could even have applications doing that too, but this would allow a network operator to tell people where the recommended resource is.

Likewise if you want to change your DNS provider yourself you would have a single location on your machine to do it for the entire OS, rather than having to change 50 different applications.

The problem with day trading, and stock trading in general, is that you can't predict the future. No one can. You can diversify your risk by buying the market (e.g. S&P 500 index fund) & hope the trend of going up N% per year continues, but even that isn't guaranteed. Essentially if you try to time/guess/predict the market, you're going gambling & the fees you pay on trading on the rake taken by the broker. Some gamblers do well. Most don't.

This is not correct.

If we consider a tech startup a single gamble, then living off trading is a continuous stream of independent gambles.

While individual gambles may turn out better than the average (even many in a row), repeated gambling will always see the total outcome return to the normal.

This is why the house always wins.

I always thought the problem with day trading is an absence of information: How does a single individual know enough about about all the various entities they are trading to really know when one is going up or down?

Seems like an institution with dedicated employees performing due diligence will know much more than an individual day trader, and thus will be able to make better decision about when to buy and sell?

Anyway, my bias has always been that day trading is really gambling.

This is just willful, boastful, ignorance, across the board.

This is very interesting.

So, if we interpret all matter to be different expressions of a fundamental frequency, it means us, the observers are also made up of the same, and to observe you would be basically sampling reality. Even if you consider measurement instruments to be an observer, they also sample other things that are made up of the same.

Then maybe there's a fundamental limit to what we can sample, hence observe. And that could explain why we only observe harmonics of the s orbital.

Microsoft Teams Can Be Used to Execute Arbitrary Payloads
I'm one of the founders of SimpleID. As a Web3 app developer, I have first hand experience hand holding users through the complicated on-boarding process. I built Graphite, a popular dApp, using traditional Web3 auth and I just recently cracked 10K users after 2 years...

The status quo today expects users to navigate pop-ups, install extensions, and of course manage their 12-word key phrase! What I've learned is that people don't really care about decentralization. They should, but they don't — at least not yet. What people do care about is protecting their data privacy and convenience.

Therefore, we built SimpleID, a suite of developer tools that lets you easily on-board users to Web3 apps. If your users are tech-savvy and want a 100% truly decentralized solution, you're probably not going to be very interested in SimpleID. And that's OK. We want the other 98% of people to actually use dApps, and have that "ah ha" moment about what data ownership truly means.

Our solution is all about choice — we don't force you into any specific blockchain, identity, or storage provider. At login, users automatically get wallets (Ethereum, Bitcoin), DID (ENS, Blockstack), and storage (IPFS, GAIA). We also plan on supporting other protocols, and more importantly hope to get rid of passwords all together!

With big enough equity and proper risk management, one can do so. Problem lies with low equity & high expectation which often leads to improper risk management and a sudden margin call. i.e. it's really easy to make $1 with $1 billion account size with risk nearing zero, but trying to make $1 with $100 is exponentially hard & risky. These so called day traders opt in for later b/c they are trained by the course & society & influences to do so.

> You think giving birth is free? There are usually 3 or 4 professionals present [...]

Of course it's not free. It's about who takes care of the costs. You should not see a bill from the hospital as your health care provider should fully take care of this.

Story time: When I was a little kid, I stumbled with a glass jar in my hand, fell into the shards and cut my right hand open. Half a centimeter more and I'd have lost three fingers of my right hand completly. Tendons and nerves were cut and the fingers were immobilized immediately.

Never did anyone worry about what it might cost to fix this. Not my family, not the hospital, possibly not even the health care insurance provider.

Instead I was taken to the best hospital for this kind of damage and several high trained professionals operated for 8 hours to fix it. After my hospital time I got movement therapy to get my hand fully working again.

This is a real indicator for a developed, first-world state: Whatever happens to you, professionals will take of you and you won't have to worry whether your family will go bankrupt because you stumbled as a kid or not. Because the society as a whole has build a net that will catch you when things like this happen.

Commodities are generally harder to trade compared to equities. The reason successful traders do it is because you get access to much greater leverage compared to equities.
The Euro didn't exist and the 70's started under the Bretton Wood's agreement. It wasn't until '76 that countries agreed to a floating currency. I don't think London's ability to influence a basket of mediocre pegged currency's gives us any insight into their ability to influence the Euro.

> And that solution is unlikely to have much impact on costs.

How do you reach that conclusion? National health insurers almost always pay less item-for-item than private plans, because they represent a large proportion of income for healthcare providers and thus have immense bargaining power. Medicare, for example, pays less for medications and procedures than almost anyone else. There's no reason to believe they wouldn't get an even better deal if more of the population was under their coverage.
> I wouldn’t be surprised too if the matching software was off the shelf

If there exists a business whose product is “scalable real-time order-book matching software” as licensed software or SaaS, I’d love to know about it! I’m in an adjacent space, and I’d love to strike up a partnership with such folks.

As far as I know, such a business doesn’t exist; all the big exchanges maintain their own core IP, much like all the big telcos in the 90s maintained their own core telecom-equipment IP. From what I know of the space, each player thinks that licensing the IP would just be either inviting a new player to the table, or more likely inviting enough new players to the table that other parts of the trading value chain would start to see value in abstracting-away and commoditizing their part of it.
