That's actually super smart.

If you ever get such ridiculous margin you should buy things that have high chances of very small profit, such as selling deep OTM options or credit spreads. Wait for expiration, unfold the scheme, collect your profits, disappear.

If you leverage up to $1M a small 2% profit with 95% chances of success is an easy thing to achieve by selling options, and would pay you $20k instantly. In the 5% outcome your margin will just totally blow up, like LTCM in 2000, or the whole idiotic concept of Value-at-Risk in 2008.
It's not the gravitational force that determines the relative passage of the time but the gravitational potential, which can be much higher despite not experiencing any force.
IANAL but I assume offering unlimited leverage to retail investors is also illegal or at least against SEC guidelines. Besides, if I was insuring RH right now I would be talking about increasing premiums.
Is there room for a company that provides managed services that take care of the compliance aspects (don't know how, but say if this were possible) and indemnifies their clients? Would that rekindle the creation of smaller firms that may aspire to compete with Google and ilk? Should, perhaps, the EU or such bodies take on the task of creating these services at running costs?

No. Someone raised the question of which cause should be the priority. In such a context, it is absolutely 100% fair game to talk about why someone would be more motivated to care about one cause than another.
One is arguing the term is generic:

Two points related:

One: Both platforms by providing a platform for public servants... cough-laugh politicians, there are good arguments to be made that in some cases they are public forums. I heard this argument put very well by a law podcast when discussing the "Trump can't block people on twitter" saga.

Two: Given the governments heavy involvement with these companies behind the scenes, I think there is also a compelling argument that that heavy involvement could change the view of the companies as purely private.

The cost of doing that is making the wallet largely useless for purchasing anything over 50$. The independent ability to send all your money to a recovery address is a new security risk. Further, you need to notice the issue which means you could be our far more than 50$ unless you happen to be checking how much is in the wallet constantly.

Yes, I've reported a bunch of these as well. Basically any sort of corporate action (split, reverse split, merger, etc) seems to completely screw up their "gain" calculations, which are prominently displayed throughout their app. This basically makes it impossible to determine your returns, unless you have a paper record somewhere.

The gravitational forces at the center do cancel out, but the important term for this effect is not the sum of forces but the gravitational potential, essentially the energy gained/lost by moving from deep space to the given location.

Force is the derivative of this potential, so the abscence of forces in the center indicates an extremum.
Continuing from this, as they push content on you that you don't want to see, you become used to it. It's the same as getting used to a new musical genre; at first it all sounds like noise, but after the 50th or so hour you can hear the important parts clearly. Repetition legitimizes.

Harnessing that, they (Facebook, other advertisers) can push what ideas they want you to think into your mind, almost without your even noticing if you're not paying attention, and work to convince you you're the outlier even if you reject what they're saying.

You're correct, and the more I think on it the creepier it gets.
Jim Simons Built the Best Hedge Fund Ever
(1) It's actually rather sensible, because C++ is famous for its backwards compatibility. So you can use C++14 or C++17 features in some new code while leaving the rest as-is - and gradually refactoring some of it with new features.

(2) This used to be the case with C++03 (or C++98), and it changed...

(3) I partially disagree and partially claim you're begging the question. You don't have poll results to suggest what people think of C++14. But - C++14 had a lot less changes compared to C++11 or C++17; this was natural considering how the cycle of debate of potential features progressed.

The thing is, the fact that C++14 wasn't that revolutionary in terms of features also means it is easier to adopt. If you want more novelty - try C++17; or - try a C++14-dependent library like Eric Niebler's ranges-v3.

(4) C++17 allows for writing less complex code in many cases. Specifically, you can significantly reduce the need for template metaprogramming - a particularly hairy part of the language - by using more constexpr functions and if-constexpr in regular functions. And there are other examples. Like Bjarne says: The C++ committee endeavors to "make simple things simple (to write)". So it's a trade-off.

(5) Some people switch languages because of workplace decisions or personal preferences, that's true; but people also adopt C++ because of what becomes possible, or easily-expressible, with newer versions of the language. For example, using the ranges library and with C++14 or later, functional programming with C++ has become quite reasonable, borderline pleasant even.

---

Bottom line: In my opinion, at this point C++11 has more inertia than momentum. And that's ok. People will progress over time.

Wow, this is amazing! I was learning more about ncurses and the various UI libraries built on top of them (e.g. Urwid). From going without Internet for a third of this year and using 1GB of mobile data per month, I've learned there aren't actually that many companies these days trying to serve customers with slow/intermittent Internet or optimize for data load. And that's an opportunity, because those customers are most likely sticky! I read that 3% of Americans still use dial-up internet, which amounted to 9.4 million people in 2016 (https://www.allconnect.com/blog/people-really-still-use-dial...). IIRC this is still better than the Internet connectivity in developing countries. If you got $1 from each of those people every year (less than 10 cents a month), you'd have $9.4m ARR, and it'd be sticky. Sticking to curses enables issuing API requests out to the world without having to build/download/install a GUI/XWindow server, and an entire browser on that GUI, and an entire webpage on that browser, which may drastically improve reach. Optimizing for legacy machines and empathizing with such a customer base is probably a big reason why WhatsApp looked so attractive to Facebook and why Facebook paid such a high premium to have the platform under its product ecosystem. I'm looking forward to seeing how this expands!

Well worth reading.
You raise a good point about newer compilers doing much deeper analysis of the code than older compilers. I have experienced the horror of compiling an old, nominally clean C++11 code base with the latest version of clang++ and seeing a small avalanche of errors and warnings that weren't picked up by the compiler when that code was written.

It creates a lot of work, and frequently the nature of the bugs are not material (i.e. in context they may not produce a runtime fault), but I do find it to be good hygiene. I used to do builds with two different compilers for the same purpose, though that found compiler bugs as often as it found issues in the code.
Crescent City?
Lasers spread just like a flash light with distance, the ones shined at the mirrors left on the moon by the Apollo missions for example were 6.5 kilometers wide by the time they reached the moon.

Personally I've seen cheap lasers without a good focussing mechanism get house sized at even a few hundred yars, I bought a 1w laser diodes years ago that had no optics to focus it and at a foot it was roughly the size of a dime and absurdly bright and at a few hundred yards the diameter was taller than a door and incredibly dim -we tested it by shining it across a pond at the apartments we were living at one night aiming where there were no windows and immediately turned it off due to the massive size of the dot.

I imagine they were just using what they had on hand to attempt to make a collimating lens/focusing Lens.

If you have a pair of binoculars, go shine a flashlight into them (from both ends) tonight and you'll see that even a cheap optic can drastically change a light source. It's actually a fun little hack for making a searchlight when you're camping, you'll get a considerably brighter spot of light.

I'm not a field expert; I didn't design Satellogic's satellites.

Satellogic's CubeBug design did use a TI Hercules TMS570 Cortex-R, and I think it's safe to say our experiences with chips like that were good — for the relatively restricted tasks they can perform. The automotive industry has a lot of lockstep chips available for it, because it's a mass market that demands reliability under harsh conditions.

I'd like to point out that what you're describing is pretty similar to Satellogic's original business plan.
I’ll be honest. I used to preserve everything and I also was surprised at a friend who’d reset his Twitter profile every so often.

> A big unknown is whether the system can produce electricity.

So what! In the winter, demand for energy goes up for heating. With current solar technology, it's impossible for someone to stockpile energy from rooftop solar for winter heating. (Net metering is a numbers game.)

If this works, and I could somehow put panels on my roof or exterior walls that allow me to stockpile energy throughout the year to use for winter heating, it would be "the solution" for me.

Edit: I should add, anyone who sells a "magic thing" that charges up throughout the year, and then provides free heat through the winter, will be extremely rich.

1. It's not obvious at all.

2. It's slightly disingenuous to call it "California's marginal tax rate" when 2/3 of that figure comes from federal taxes. It's like saying "Texas's marginal tax rate is 37%".

3. The SALT deduction changes have made it so that residents of states with high taxes are effectively double-taxed. California isn't responsible for this state of affairs.

I don't think REI moves as much ski/snowboard gear as a more local shop would, but they have seasonal sales on the same items you just mentioned every year, and their anniversary sale is usually pretty good. Not to mention their outlet store often has additional sales on items that haven't sold, plus the garage sale.

The best 'deal' I found at REI was a ENO DoubleNest hammock for $12 at the garage sale, perfect condition. A near second would be a Black Diamond Access (I think) insulated hoodie for about $100, lasting me more than 6 years as my insulated layer for climbing, snowboarding, all around and casual use.

The best results don't come from stagnant monopolies or ruinous price competition. They come from winners winning big but only as long as they continue to do good.

A major component of that is antitrust. AT&T gave us Bell Labs, but it's good they don't still own the internet. Microsoft commoditized PC hardware, but it's good that still don't own the internet. Apple and Google gave us modern smartphones, but they shouldn't be allowed to own the internet either.

But that's what you get from antitrust enforcement, not from FDA-style "entrench the incumbents forever" rules. The laws need to promote competition so that when, as is the rule with large bureaucracies, the incumbents stagnate, someone new can give them a kick in the butt and pick up the ball when it's necessary.

Hint, it's China. Last time I heard, the US doesn't have a Nazi-era concentration camp in 2019 enslaving 2,000,000 minorities, harvesting their organs, torturing them, erasing their culture, desecrating their graves, and forcing the women to marry into Han families. The irony is that you can only make these ignorant attacks on America because there is freedom of speech in the US while in China, you'd be silenced the moment you hit send.
Perhaps it is. However, interestingly to note, most religions, like traditional Christianity and Islam, would actually be okay with an income sharing system (especially if the share was redeemable and payments set up to accomplish this) as opposed to an interest based system. It is unclear that an income sharing system is any morally worse than an interest bearing one, and there are reasons to think it is better.

On the Pinebook Pro, the trackpad and keyboard aren’t great. I’m hesitant to say horrible, but it is a very cheap machine so you get what you pay for. I have one of the ISO keyboard “batch 2” machines. I got it last week and the keyboard issues have made it largely unusable for me.

Ignoring the trackpad, the keyboard will sometimes refuse to register keypresses or will repeat keys. This is particularly problematic when you type fast (like a password). On mine, the tab key also gets stuck rather often. The trackpad doesn’t have much control for fine movements, which makes resizing windows... interesting. And the trackpad frequently activates spontaneously which causes cursors to move around.

Aside from a small issue I had with a loose bezel, the rest of the machine is very nice. It is a good sized (14”), very sturdy design. The screen is pretty good too. Maybe if the keyboard and trackpad firmware gets fixed, then it could be a usable machine.
