I'd say if I was seek help I'd have some issues with depression and anxiety. I think most people have some low grade difficulties.

I've learnt that the following are important:

* Keep in contact with friends. Isolation is a killer to my mental health.
* Don't burn out. Long hours destroy my ability to focus then I get down about my ability to work. This leads to a depression like state that is hard to shake.
* Avoid behavious I disagree with. Everyone has a moral code they live by. I find if I do things that violate mine the internal conflict is very destructive to me mental health.
* Avoid addictions. Name your vice here. I have an addictive personality keeping away from addictions is key to staying sane.
* Never play the victim. I'm always able to improve my life somehow even if it's just developing a better internal view of my external circumstances. My happiness is my own doing.

> I worry that it creates a positive feedback loop where the government generates tax revenue off it’s population’s addictions.

Do you loose a lot of sleep over the fact that the government is doing this today with, for example, alcohol? Alcohol is an insanely destructive drug. It decimates families, relationships, careers, lives, etc. No one at all seems to say the government need to "stop profiting off the taxes". It frankly never comes up. Sure we talk a lot about how to help those who reach the stages of addiction, but there's never guilt over the tax revenue.

I'm asking you to honestly think why this is any different.
The definition of negligence is difficult in these cases. I would agree with an argument that some court cases overreach, but we have clear cases where bad line hardware directly caused fires (PG&E has even admitted such).

I'm not personally a fan of suing them because it comes out of customers' pockets and not executive compensation or dividends, but we need to do something. I'm happy to see state ownership considered as an alternative to the lawsuits.
Ya I'm with you, hence the scare quotes.

In any case, I'm not defending the MBA industrial complex, but it is an attractive, valuable, and stable system they've set up. I definitely got value from it, but fair it is not.

Silicon Valley/ VC-land has a seemingly more egalitarian system on the surface, but if you dig even an inch deep there's a lot of ugly stuff there too.
From the Wikipedia article,

> “Per passenger EAS subsidy in the 48 contiguous states plus Puerto Rico ranged from $10 to more than $977 per passenger in 2014.”

> “EAS subsidies have increased by more than 500% since 1997, not accounting for inflation”

> “According to a 2006 New York Times article on the program, the subsidy per passenger, averaged across the entire program excluding Alaska, is approximately $74, and much higher on some particularly poorly patronized flights[6] where subsidies are as high as $801 per passenger.”

> “Patronage on many flights is very low. The majority of EAS airplanes have fewer than 20 seats, and flights typically are less than half full.[8] However, the program is politically popular in the cities receiving the subsidized flights, many of which use an airport with scheduled service as a selling point to attract industry to their regions. Several subsidized airports are within an hour's drive from an unsubsidized airport.”

This sounds like a profoundly terrible service for everyone except ~10 people per flight getting $100 - $800 subsidies (sometimes even when commercial airports are an hour away).
Starting a business is a rewarding challenge to do something I believe is truly impactful and I actively choose to be very optimistic about it. However, there are many other personal things I can't ignore like relationships and bills plus past experiences that cast doubt over it all.

I manage it by maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, relatively clean diet, and most importantly, appreciating/enjoying what I do have right now.

I don't necessarily agree with the grandparent comment, but I think the mechanism at work is exchange rates. Because of the strong German economy (for example), if Germany still had a separate currency, that currency would be much more expensive than the Euro currently is thus making German exports more expensive. Conversely, the Italian Lira would be much cheaper making their exports relatively cheap. An argument can be made that the Euro therefore benefits the richer countries at the expense of the poorer ones.

There are other factors at play, of course, and I think that a complete analysis would defy any simplistic explanation. Compare to the US dollar: does New York benefit from a common currency at the expense of Louisiana?
This thread was originally about the social and technical issues of scams in the context of irreversible ledgers, not legal liability. As far as that goes I am in full agreement with you: Facebook and other Libra consortium members are likely to face quite a bit of legal heat from various jurisdictions desiring them to block or reverse transactions and willing to hold them accountable for others' actions on the network. In my opinion the only sane way to introduce something like Libra would have been to give up control entirely, along with the ties to fiat currencies, and make it a permissionless, decentralized system like Bitcoin. Exchanges in a decentralized system have various regulations applied to them but in the end they aren't inherently in the position of transmitting money on behalf of their users; nor are they strictly necessary for the network to function. Libra, on the other hand, will be seen as a payment system controlled by Facebook and the other consortium members, and Facebook itself as a money transmitter, not a mere buyer and seller of coins.

Personally I find it much more interesting and productive to debate what the law ought to be rather than what it is, but as a practical matter Facebook will obviously need to take the various injustices of the jurisdictions in which they intend to operate into account—and the centralized design of Libra doesn't seem very well suited to deal with that reality.

One consequence of the historic distinction I quite like is that traders in the UK (and possibly elsewhere, I don't know) still call 10^9 a "yard" (short for "milliards").
Besides the point that it wouldn't be a secure replacement for a password/PIN, I wonder if it would have support for multiple valid fingerprints.

Either that or the beginning of a new dot-com bubble.

Most of those smallsat companies are financially viable on the expectation that they capture a meaningful fraction of the smallsat market - like 1/5th or more. They can't all win - and that's assuming any of them win. SpaceX seems to be planning to own the rideshare market [0], and so unless a customer really cares about having a particular orbit that's going to be pretty tough competition.

I really don't care if people consume/purchase/make/sell drugs if the money isn't financing terrible things someplace in the world. I think the first step to making these kind of guarantees for consumers is legalizing the market for drugs.

In theory the company selling at a loss goes bankrupt and the people lending them money to burn lose all their money.

However post-2008 world is one where (1) the government will probably step in and rescue the people who were lending the money and (2) there are lunatic low-interest policies that encourage lending to anyone with a pulse over all forms of sane weighing up of risk.

So why not fund businesses that burn money? The problem in the story isn't antitrust, it is low interest rate policies that excessively favour borrow-and-spend tactics.

Really weird how the governments and tech companies always go after victimless crimes but in the instance of fraudulent tech support where there are real (mostly naive and tech-illiterate) victims they do nothing.
That goes both ways. They know they'll lose. I've been in this exact situation with an estranged CEO. They send their cease & desist and hope you take it down, but won't go further than that. Sure, you might have a psycho on your hands ready to lose all his time and money, but at that point, you shouldn't have ever taken the job, so moot point.
Fentanyl, cyanide, heroin, and meth should all be legal and over-the-counter.

I don't think the government should tell a woman what to do with her body, and I don't think the government has a right to tell you what to do with yours.

When you advocate for drug legalization from the perspective of safety, then you get into doublethink territory. Some people simultaneously want cannabis and hallucinogens to be legalized yet want the tobacco age increased to 21. Cannabis is not exactly safe. Methamphetamine has been prescribed for decades for legitimate medical use, and hallucinogens have caused permanent schizophrenia. If cannabis were suddenly proven to be extremely dangerous, would you reverse your position and become a prohibitionist? Do you really want to prioritize safety over freedom?

Basically the only substances that the government has grounds to prohibit are things like weapons-grade plutonium which actually (not rhetorically) could harm more than just one being.
Yes you can order on the clearnet from Indian pharmacies. I've ordered rifaximin this way. It's expensive, about 130$ for a 14 day supply. For my SIBO it, like all antibiotics, causes total symptom relief while I am on it and then the symptoms come right back once I go off. Good luck.
Sorry got busy in the interim.

Yes, I tried eMMC boot on every emmc capable OS that the Pine-fork of Etcher suggested. And I also tried openBSD as well on suggestion from freenode #pine64 user, to no avail.

I then was able to order a usb3->eMMC adapter, and was able to debug the USB and determine my assertions were correct: those eMMC chips ignored the first read operation.

I didn't have a jtag for the allwinner chips, but I also did have a serial console. I'd like to say I went above and beyond for testing what I'm defining as defective merchandise.

Now, the A64-LTS, the rtc batery holder, and the POE injecters are pretty darn good. I was just hoping for better overall performance with using eMMC.
Yeah no, I get that. I was just talking about my case. I’m mostly happy tbh, but I’m pretty lucky. I know some people’s mental health is actually tied to some biological reasons.
Once I accepted lowball offer without negotiation due to harsh conditions (long out of job, morgtage, bad market).
The company somewhat knew about my conditions and leveraged that.

While working there and making ends meet I kept calmly looking for job.
In 4 weeks I reciprocated - received much better offer and fired my boss. In addition I didn't have to stay 2 weeks because boss forgot to force me to sign employment agreement.
Being nice for their client I stayed for 2 days and then left for good.

So use to to your advantage. Keep looking for job and leverage their FAANG-y name to boost your market value.
Low earth orbit satellites decay very quickly. Without extra boost most satellites launched by these rockets will reenter within a year or two.

On a wider note, I find the dramatic pessimism of our times rather unfortunate. It seems every technical advance is now met with some prediction of doom. I miss when technical forums were optimistic.
It's nice for situations where you want to access a deeply nested prop, and you only care whether the whole path is there or not. Saves you having to add a seperate check for every level of the hierarchy.

e.g. You can do:

foo?.bar?.baz || "default";

Rather than:

(foo && foo.bar && foo.bar.baz) || "default";

Agree that developers can be careful about nullability (in fact I pulled someone up on this in a code review earlier today), but I don't think this feature makes that any worse.
My work place still has to support IE 11. We were working on a skinning project a few months ago, and used CSS vars for practically every browser, but had to fallback to plain old stylesheet overrides for IE 11. It was painful.
I think you have part of that backwards. I agree VCs don't care about creating sustainable businesses as long as they get fat exits. But I think the reason we don't have more non-VC startups is that VCs are willing to spend a lot of money to create monopoly or oligopoly players. E.g., Super Pumped makes it clear that Uber was very active in trying to strangle all competition in the cradle.

Tobacco taxes have been found to discourage smoking among certain populations [1].

Perhaps that's not a fair comparison because the way legalization has been going, at least in the U.S. looks like a cross between tobacco and gambling. Taxing tobacco feels like the more correct metaphor, but I'm not sure why.

Some APIs you can choose to use. Other APIs you have to use. The ones you have to use tend to not care much about the developer experience... Because why should they? No one's going to avoid Amazon because their API was annoying. People need to make money.

I think that has less to do with strange aerodynamics and more to do with the deadly whirling blades interacting poorly with the solid vertical surfaces if there happens to be, say, a gust of wind. A ducted-fan based system would be much safer, and could work in a constrained urban environment.

I am failing to see how these numbers add up. What is the explicit formula you are using?
How is your model fundamentally different from doc2vec though? The idea of swapping a vocab of words for a vocab of tokens, sentences, paragraphs, queries, articles, pages, etc., has been around and used in research and production virtually since the same time as word2vec itself.

One of the most common “off the shelf” search solutions is to train an embedding for X (where X is whatever you want to search) using some implicit similarity or triplet loss for examples that have natural positive labels (like due to proximity in the word2vec case) plus random negative sampling, and use the embedding in an exact or approximate nearest neighbor index.

In fact, it’s even very “off the shelf” to use Siamese networks for multi-modal embeddings, for example simultaneously learning embeddings that put semantically similar queries and food images into the same ANN vector space.

I think the blog post is very cool don’t get me wrong, but no part of this is novel (if that’s what you were going for, I can’t tell). This exact end to end pipeline has been used for image search, collaborative filtering (customer & product embeddings), various recommender systems where the unit of embedding is something like “pages” or “products” or “blog posts” or other product primitives for whatever type of business, in production across several different companies I’ve worked for.

Italy's problem was never the Euro.

Italy is the largest political mess of Europe, and the amount of structural problems is staggering.

Its industries kept it running, and China's growth as a manufacturing centre, together with the accession of countries with less structural problems have taken a toll on the Italian industry.

If there was no Euro, Italy would still be ruined anyway.
Wait until you hear how destructive lithium mines are. There are lots of towns in the western US polluted by the mining industry.
I am a big fan of markets and economic incentives, but they're pretty limited tools for a lot of important things. For example, if you apply them to voting or having children, you get results that are obviously absurd. Not everything should be commoditized.

> but you'd think you would save money by contributing to the grid.

You actually don't.

When you are generating most of your own power during renewable generation peaks, and drawing power from the grid, during renewable lulls/peak usage, you are in fact using the grid as a giant, personal battery. (One that would run you in the order of ~$50,000, if you were to build one out for yourself.)

Electricity is relatively cheap, especially during peak renewable generation times. Maintaining the grid is what's expensive.
You definitely can have a 'some' type property[0]. Computed properties work just like functions do. Stored properties just need a value assigned, like so:

Credit loss.

Brokerages are exposed to a lot less of it than e.g. credit cards, because it isn't baked into the model in the same way (and, indeed, the opposite is baked into the model), but it has been known to happen. See the Interactive Brokers 2018 annual report:

Over an extended period in 2018, a small number of the Company’s brokerage customers had taken relatively
large positions in a security listed on a major U.S. exchange. The Company extended margin loans against the
security at a conservatively high collateral requirement. In December 2018, within a very short timeframe, this
security lost a substantial amount of its value. The customer accounts were well margined and at December 31,
2018 they had incurred losses but had not fallen into any deficits. Margin shortfalls were met in a timely manner
by delivery of additional shares by the customers. Subsequent price declines in the stock have caused these
accounts to fall into deficits, despite the Company’s efforts to liquidate the customers’ positions. Through
February 27, 2019, the Company has recognized an aggregate loss of approximately $47 million. The maximum
aggregate loss, which would occur if the securities’ prices all fell to zero and none of the debts were collected,
would be approximately $59 million. The Company is currently evaluating pursuing the collection of the debts.

It seems like the best way to evade a similar risk is to get the heck away from Earth as fast as possible, like the top of this blog post describes. The fact that a not-small gold rush is developing to do just that is the most hopeful news I've heard in approximately ever.
