Dalio unquestionably has had success with investing. But his ideas are often called crazy. (i.e. the bond-heavy nature of his 'All Weather Portfolio'.)

He's also at odds with stalwarts like Warren Buffet, who point out that gold doesn't really have a reason to be a hedge against a crash. It doesn't do anything, it just looks pretty. Once people begin to figure that the emporer has no clothes, gold will just be cheap, pretty metal.

Dalio is worth listening to, but with a large grain of salt, IMHO.

>I challenge the notion that there was ever a time in history in which there was more equality between every segment of society in America than there is now. Can you name a single time? If there was once a time when white men were more circumstantially equal, then the distance in circumstances between men and women was further apart, or even further apart between whites and minorities.

There are different kinds of equality (equality between the sexes, races, economic, etc).

Economic inequality, which are talking about here, was less in decades past: "The Great Divergence is a term given to a period, starting in the late 1970s, during which income differences increased in the US and, to a lesser extent, in other countries":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Divergence_(inequality)

>I can’t think of a time in world history when some group of people wasn’t getting preferential treatment and some other group was getting the proverbial shaft.

Which is neither here nor there. Even at that, there have been periods and societies much better than 2019 US in almost all of those aspects.

The very concern of "white" vs else is a US one, due to its "melting pot" nature (and the very recent historical baggage of slavery, segregation, etc. Other European countries for example where done with that shit for centuries, not merely until the ...70s). And of course, in more homogeneous societies (all white, all asian, all black, etc) those things weren't a concern.
You don't want your family to use my setup. I breaks many things.

A person not in IT is probably just fine if you install ublock Origin.

Or you would have to train your family to use different browsers for different things and you want to have at least one "vanilla" browser on your system. Just recently my US CC website stopped working with my browser. For such things you want to have one major browser without any plug ins.

e.g.

1. Google Chrome (Vanilla, no plug ins). Used when needed (recently to pay my CC).
2. Chromium: Facebook, Gmail
3. Firefox: buying tickets etc.
3. Vivali Browsing the internet

Again my setup does not work so well against fingerprinting. My plug-in combination is so unique that I can be tracked via my plug ins.

What’s Wrong with the Monolith?
> Technology in cars can be rapid but seems to ignore those externalities

Many regulated risks in automobiles are not external, which is I think where they're out of bounds. I think a certain amount of regulation to ensure consumers are informed of the internal risks of an automobile is reasonable; but the government really oughtn't tell you how safe your car must be for you. Externalities, as you say, are the appropriate domain of regulation.

For some people, it may be preferable to have better fuel economy at a lower price (i.e. Honda can make the Honda Insight again) even if the operator risk is higher; but they should not be allowed to drive a vehicle without adequate stopping, acceleration, and speed, or one which poses excessive risk to fire and rescue workers, other motorists, or pedestrians, or has excessive emissions in their use case.

Right now, emissions regulations on automobiles focus on manufacturer fleet emissions (which is an unabashed pro-incumbent regulation), and emissions on a fixed test cycle; but this means you can pay for the privilege of being in the upper section of a fleet's emissions. Similar with the regulations on stopping speed, acceleration, and pedestrian safety: it seems to often depend on the class of vehicle, and so you can pay for the privilege of worse safety externalities.
The Overwatch 2 Leak Was Extremely Demoralising for the Development Team
I think OP might have meant that weaker regulation/government is a necessary condition, not necessarily a sufficient one.
I've yet to see a case getting a promised promotion in writing is reasonable for either side. On the employee side you're basically signing something that says you'll work <x> months at your current rate and not leave when the company has already chosen you anyways. On the company side you're just exposing yourself to risk for something already covered by the hiring process. Both sides should be extremely adverse to either case of exception and let the hiring process do what it's made to do: this.

Some things you want to get in writing, other things you don't want to plan for unless it's in writing.
> If productivity were going up because of automation to the point where mass unemployment is an issue, interest rates would be higher: the end. Anyone who disagrees doesn't understand how finance works.

Could you better explain the process by which you arrived at this conclusion? There's a lot of hand waving and little to no rigor in the proof that you provide.
Why does DNS cache expiration need to be in the critical path?

Instead of a browser doing

1. Local DNS lookup (resulting in expired entry)

2. DNS query

3. DNS response

4. HTTP request

why not do

1. Local DNS lookup (resulting in expired entry)

2.1. DNS query

2.2. HTTP request

3. DNS response

4. If DNS response changed and HTTP request failed, HTTP request again

Maybe use two expiration lengths, one that results in flow 2 and a much longer one that results in flow 1.
The attack could still work in some cases, and is as described in the linked post.

Your webmail provider has a search box, and the content that is returned is styled with Roboto. If the search finds nothing, then Roboto isn't loaded. The attacker forces Rotobo out of the cache with a specially formatted fetch() request, then loads an iframe of the search. Then the attacker checks if Roboto is in the cache or not. This allows the attacker to essentially read your email inbox.

You can get better fingerprints from WebGL because it provides information about your video card. Within a year I think I saw the site that really needed WebGL only once. It is almost useless feature that is suited only for fingerprinting. You better go to your Firefox settings and disable it right now to prevent tracking.

To prevent tracking using Canvas it would be good if there was a single drawing library for all browsers or at least they used only internal code and didn't rely on OS or hardware acceleration.

Regarding Audio API, it also would be nice if it provided less details about audio hardware or OS audio stack.
> but no plumbers. Or butchers, or morticians, or laborers

The market takes care of that problem quite nicely. Lines of work which are less comfortable or appealing should pay more in the first place.
Example: On Windows, a sin() call usually goes into msvcrt.dll, and can thus return different results on different machines for the same binary. To name one possible reason: Different vectorization (due to different SSE support).

Corollary: Don't link to the CRT sin/cos/etc. if you want your binary to give the same result on different machines.
That's an interesting thesis. Could you explain why?
It's all fun and games until it actually becomes law. Then it'd actually happen, and tech workers would be paid like everyone else.

> What's the harm of making fingerprinting illegal?

imagine if you were able to put a camera outside the entrance of the bathroom, and record who is going in and out.

This is recording a public space (the entrance), but it reveals who is in there, and for how long.

I m sure you can guess why people won't like being known to have gone to the bathroom for X minutes (vs X seconds). It's the same online, just slightly less obvious.

I do think the poster was conflating some aspects of climate change, but life has surprising effects on weather and local climate.

Desertification and dust storms are both possible outcomes of biodiversity loss.

There's also a growing body of evidence that precipitation is driven partially by bacteria. (See the following article from Nature: https://www.nature.com/news/2008/080228/full/news.2008.632.h...)
I think you'd also need to be careful about freshness of cached data. If you give stale data but delay it to give the illusion it was just loaded, an attacker might be able to infer it actually was from the cache after all by looking at the data and cross-checking that against what the current data looks like.

Consider, as an example, an HTTP resource that contains a text string representing the current time and which is updated once a minute. Its cache lifetime is set to 1 minute. A page fetches it at 9:01:30AM and gets the string "9:01AM". This goes into the cache. At 9:02:15AM (45 seconds later), an attacker loads it, you give the cached data which is still the string "9:01AM". To cross-check the data, the attacker hits another server (say, its own proxy that it runs, which fetches the resource and forwards it on), so it can tell that the data it should have gotten is "9:02AM".

In other words, if you give it stale data slowly, it might be able to detect the staleness instead of trying to detect the slow loading time.

Perhaps you could fix this by validating the freshness of the cache, using ETags or something. You'd hit the server, validate what's in your cache is fresh, and then still delay it, thus giving a more complete illusion to the attacker.

I'm not sure if HTTP allows a page to access the TTL of cached data, but if so, you might want to fake that too. If you give the real TTL numbers, then some of the time it's going to look like you just loaded it but it's about to expire.

Let's not forget that Postgres has first-class support for Python [0] (unlike JavaScript etc which are maintained, or not, by third parties).

Postgrest has the same "capabilities" as GraphQL so if one is not carefull and jsut (naively) exposes tables with millions of rows with just postgrest (and no propper indexes) it can get bad fast since the client could create queries that join and return a lot of data.

That's why one does not deploy postgrest alone but use it in a setting like this https://github.com/subzerocloud/postgrest-starter-kit

where you at the proxy level can say things like "return 400 if the client did not provide at least 2 filters for the table" or "allow filtering on column a and b because they have indexes but not on c"

But again, those are things to consider when you have datasets exceding hundreds of K or millions, you don't need to care about this when you have tables with 10s of Ks

it depends a lot on what you mean by "drink". let's assume I only drink 12oz beers at 5% ABV and 1.5oz shots of 80 proof, and I'm hanging out with friends for three hours before going home. if I, a 140lb male, have three drinks, starting the first one the moment I show up, I will be just under the legal limit when I leave. [0] if I get pulled over and the breathalyzer is off by even 0.01, I may well be spending the night in jail.

the bigger problem is that I rarely ever consume a "standard drink". the beers I typically drink are anywhere between 6% and 8% ABV, making my typical beer somewhere between 1.2 and 1.6 standard drinks. if I go to a bar and order my favorite cocktail, the manhattan, that one serving is around two standard drinks. I'm already close to the legal limit by the time I finish my first one! if I have a typical beer and cocktail and don't slam the first one immediately, I need to wait at least four hours before driving home.

as an aside: be very careful when you read BAC charts online. several of the top google hits for "BAC chart" take 1.25oz of 80 proof liquor to be a standard drink. I've never seen a shot glass under 1.5oz in my whole life.

Recital 26 says:

> The principles of data protection should therefore not apply to anonymous information, namely information which does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person or to personal data rendered anonymous in such a manner that the data subject is not OR NO LONGER identifiable.

So as long as the data becomes no longer identifiable, recital 26 seems to apply.
In [1] it's even worse that you have Gitlab's "VP of Legal" and "Director of Global Risk and Compliance" chasing after the CFO's comments telling him that's illegal.

Teaching yourself to code is a terrible idea, I speak from experience. There is really only one issue, one ends up asking why things are the way they are in stead of learning how to be a proper drone and dream of your own cubical. Basically, asking why things are the way they are sets you up for almost endless frustration. The frustration only ends when you find employment far far away from these people and their creations. Every generation of trained programmers is less familiar with the clean and proper ways we use to do things. Its great for them to learn to glue things together and meet with the deadlines etc. You will enjoy non of this if you teach yourselves.... its why this.... why that.... why am I using a 1000 line lib for something that is 2 lines of code? wwwwwhy?
