It's hard to speak about the infrastructure because:

1) it's complex and relies on a bunch of concepts that are niche/uncommon in tech field, so it's really hard to make a short answer that makes your point understandable without adding an essay-length explanation about why some assertion of fact is actually true, or how some aspect of the financial system works slightly differently than the common understanding and has serious implications that usually doesn't matter only because the system is carefully engineered to ensure that this never happens, but for a different system it would matter.

2) you can't have a purely technical discussion because pretty much every factor of infrastructure is part technical, part legal, part financial, and you can't really separate these aspects because they put serious constraints on each other.

3) it's a bit emotionally unpleasant because multiple important, relevant aspects have political connotations and invite passionate debate about things that I'd like to assume as axiomatic and offtopic to the main point. For example if we want to debate why technical payment systems are the way they are and what other technical payment systems are plausible in the short-term, aspects like the need for reversibility are pretty much an undisputable unavoidable constraint from the legal/economic side to the technical part; IMHO any productive technical debate is possible only about how to best design systems within these non-technical constraints (and what exactly are the actual constraints), but a lot of the discussion here is centered whether these constraints "should" be there - which is interesting but a completely different topic, to note the "is-vs-ought" distinction, debating whether reversibility (or, say, KYC/AML) ought to be a requirement has absolutely no relevance to the debate whether and when it is a requirement. But it's hard to make a technical description of how/why something works without getting sidetracked into a political discussion of whether some must-have requirement should have a right to exist.

There's not really an ethos of secrecy (at least for the main infrastructure side), all the technical and legal (but not financial) details are generally available to whoever is interested but they are large and details matter, and key details differ between countries. Seriously, when getting started in the industry when I had spent months reading on various details of e.g. card issuing/acquiring process, I thought I had a reasonable understanding.... and now I know how a bunch of that understanding was slightly but dangerously wrong.
isn't that exactly what throttling is...
I'm doing okay these days. A year ago I started taking anti-anxiety meds at a very low dose and seeing a counselor every month or so. I also broke up with a partner who didn't treat me very well and met someone who I see a future with. A year and a half ago the answer would have been something like "thinking about going to emergency so that I don't hurt myself". All the changes I made felt small and insignificant at the time but they added up.
Can a service ever offer unlimited data when there is a hard cap on the amount you could download 24/7?

Does it really matter if they change their branding to be unmetered rather than unlimited?
Honestly, pretty awful. I'm fresh out of college, making 155K in my first job, but I feel miserable because I can't sleep in NYC, the love of my life lives across the country and I feel like we're growing apart, and because I work so much I no longer have any hobbies.

I grew up poor and now I'm making more money than I ever imagined I could so I feel like I can't complain too much, but as soon as I hit the 1 year mark and am no longer obligated to pay back my signing/relocation bonus and fees associated with breaking my lease, I'm moving to be with my SO (if we make it to that point.) It's not worth it.
I'm supposed to use a document template my therapist emailed me, most likely I will search for an app that does the same (too paranoid about printing and filling a document about my mood) -- so I don't track it yet.

I was diagnosed 5 years ago with BPD, has gotten better over the years(mostly by just life exposure I guess), I still get huge situational flare-ups, stuff about work or family, but I no longer react like a cornered animal, even at my worst I realise "this thing sucks at an intensity of 8/10, most likely it will subside in a day or two if I go back on buspirone, and if not, I have benzodiazepines as backup, sleep aids and so on".
This affirmation of Zuckerberg's position based on the First Amendment makes no sense. The Zuckerberg position is that he chooses to censor everyone except politicians. Furthermore, it is he who gets to decide the veracity of everyone except politicians (and thus what to censor). He also gets to decide who is a politician.

He sure is powerful. It looks like he is mostly trying to maximize the amount of power he holds.
There are still risks. The money to pay for the 2008 recession was ultimately assembled from taxpayers and people who hold their savings in fixed income (like bonds) who have basically just lots purchasing power for a decade; especially relative to stocks.

Depending on the exact strategy it might go well or poorly.

I think the general trend has been an increasingly healthy stock market since around 09 correct? That was 10 years ago, how much longer can this balloon rise? Currently I am about 70/30 stocks/bonds perhaps I should just stay put considering I really don't know.
If you’re goal is to stop competition and keep prices higher, then yes we should stop Walmart.

I for one don’t want that.
Yes Node is a nightmare, however, you don't need to use public repositories, that much is a choice.

Similarly, Cargo in Rust is an absolute dream to work with, you just run `cargo new <project>` and then `cargo build`. That's it. If you want to add a dependency you can do so from the public crates.io repository or a sub-path or a git repository.

No language should be without this core feature, so it'd be great to see C++ get it too.

Bailing on that contract sounds to me like a very healthy action. May I offer a suggestion or two for what to do next?

First, keep (or reestablish) the routine you had while working. That is, get up at the time you used to, get ready for a workday as if you still worked there, and work.

You didn't really quit working, you just changed your job from whatever you did as a contractor to finding a replacement gig. So do that -- find another contract, find a permanent position, engage in skill-expanding or continuing education activities, and so forth. Anything that is a step in the direction you want to go.

Remember, the journey to success really is done one step at a time.

Who hasn’t got problems these days? Anxiety, stress, work pressure, financial problems, health issues and many more contribute in creating many mental health related issues that most of us take as granted in our modern lives :-(
I understand that for people diagnosed with a condition and on medication is more serious than the rest of us, but I think if affects all of us.
What I find working for me is keeping my mind occupied with stuff (technology, photography, music, books...) and talking to other people. Reading HN late at night really helps a lot.
Nonsense, clearly David Ollila has provided the example to follow in such a situation.

Depending on a random federal bureaucracy to act as you would prefer rather than how they are set up to act is unlikely to satisfy. Private equity executives are human, if only barely so; they also have ethical duties. This episode is a test of the people who purchase clothing and equipment for outdoor activities. If we pass the test, backcountry.com will either change their unethical policies or go out of business. If we fail, we'll be buying ever-shittier products from an ever-shittier retailer.
Who knows. Maybe their lawyers tell them to do it.
An artificial speed limit is, be definition, a data limit. If you have X time and Y bytes per time (artificial limit), then you cannot get more then Y/X bytes. Now obviously it's limited by the technology to some amount of Y bytes/time, but that's accepted. When it's limited by policy to lower than that, it's no longer unlimited data.
Is there something wrong with the way I jog? Because I don't find it to be making much of a difference. Same for cycling, walking, etc.
I haven't really dug into SwiftUI yet, but I'm not quite sure what you're describing. I'd love to see a concrete example of something you think you can't replicate with your own type.
It's a poorly worded and incisive line. However the sentiment that they were trying to express does have merit in discussing under more specific and civil terms.

I too have observed an apparent abundance of individuals that decry various forms of social support programs only to change their story when it's suddenly a program that more-obviously hands them support. (There is also a strong argument for social support programs as a method of minimizing the loss to society of productive labor as well as prevention for forcing individuals towards lives of crime so they can put food on the table.)
If you don't use FPGAs, you probably lost that game anyway.
People have the freedom to spend their money on groceries as they choose and businesses have the freedom to sell groceries as they choose.
Some chairs cut off circulation or physically block proper posture. When so much "ergonomic design" is counterproductive, as the article details, it's worth it to be selective w/r/t equipment.
For example, what ANN do you use in production, what are the reasons for using it. Another question is how much data does it take to make these models work, can they be primed effectively with little data if doing transfer learning from a more general model?
Features I wish C++20 had:

* An opinionated, modern packaging and dependency story (like go modules, Rust crates)

* built-in library support for logging, http, zip, gzip, json, yaml, template rendering, RFC3339 datetime reading/writing

* the dream: compliant compilers must be able to compile down to static binaries, cross compiling built-in.

Features C++20 actually has:

* new fancy spaceship operator that I'll now have to learn and never use...

If they actually have a proper portfolio pricing model (to compute the available margin), and they're just missing one use case, then that should be relatively simple to fix. A few days, or a few hours if they really put their heart into it.

If they're completely lacking an option pricing model... they're just not going to add one overnight. They'll have to add a standard model (most likely Black Scholes), come up with an estimation of volatility to feed into it (you can extract it from the market; implied volatility), and also solve the problem of linking derivatives to their underlying. In any case this is not a simple arithmetic accounting issue.
Since we're imagining things, how about a network of skybridges between the skyscrapers, perhaps combined with elevator-like automated people movers? To me, that sounds more viable than flying cars in a dense city.
Hence the policy to throttle users that consume (comparatively) a lot of data. Typical metered data plans are 2GiB and throttling kicks in somewhere between 20 and 50GiB depending on the network.

Not good enough?
Short version: Deflation benefits society by preventing malinvestment in ventures with a below-average (i.e., below-deflation) rate of return which would divert labor and materials from actually profitable investments.

To me this is exactly what splits apart the argument in favour of Facebook not banning lies from politicians.

Corporations like Facebook have a lot of power to filter the content on their platforms, and they do it all the time. How and when they do that filtering is down to incentives and power. There is no free speech principle being upheld on Facebook.

A great example of how power and incentives influences corporate filtering, Twitter has a ban on inciting violence but publicly elected officials may be exempted. Twitter doesn’t like violence, but it doesn’t hold non-violence as a principle, same as Facebook not liking lies but not really being interested in honesty as a principle. Corporations like money.

Heh, you're right. TIL.
Also, DigitalOcean. I'd used a prepaid debit card with them in the past, but they don't accept them anymore.
I was a manager with an employee who was actively trying to defraud the company with a tool <x> he had developed (claiming he had developed it before being hired) while moonlighting.

I instituted a strict butts-on-seats policy, planned to remove technology <x>, forced process to ensure source control, code review and deployment by other team members, etc.

Being a manager isn’t all glamour. There are many people who are trying to scheme, lie and cheat their way to fortune at your company’s expense, and if the manager lets them.... bad news for the manager.
D3 has many parts. d3-selection (https://github.com/d3/d3-selection) is the only part that deals with the DOM (I think). It wouldn't make much sense to use it with React, but the rest of D3 can easily be combined with React.

That's a good call for a great library.

It's often overkill for what I do, especially as it can't use the same compiler options as my tree normally does (they have to bend over backwards for back compatibility; I don't). I do use it some places. I certainly don't envy the hard work of library developers!

When I simply need a 2D or 3D resizable array it's often easier, as I mentioned, to simply spin one up. Having that support "native" will be great.
> If so why do these stores close?

Because for every one or two fantastically wealthy-beyond-all-belief-for-the-area technologist who moves in, five people who don't have a job like that leave the region in search of something that pays an income. A lot of these bucolic rural areas with a few thousand people in a county exist because of an industry that was present decades ago that has now collapsed. So, sure, the property is cheap and the town is relatively uncomplicated...but people who don't make six figures (and, thus, can pretty much choose to live wherever we want) are leaving because the opportunities are gone. One or two tech-paycheck-family households can't sustain a set of businesses that had 7,000 potential customers before.

I've watched this happen with where my parents grew up and in my grandparents' hometowns before them. Everyone I know in Seattle who isn't in tech didn't move to Seattle to get a tech job; they moved from Idaho and Utah and eastern Oregon and eastern Washington to find work because their sub-10,000-person towns are (in some cases literally) drying up and blowing away yet, even here, they're being pushed out because of salaries. Yes, I'm leading into wealth inequality and it having gotten so bad that people are squeezed on the starting end because the towns where they grew up are collapsing and squeezed on the destination end because trying to live where the jobs are increasingly doesn't result in the level of income required to actually live there.

But those of us in tech can simply decamp to our 5,000sqft houses on three acres of land and pull in Silicon Valley wages in a Montana property market and feel quite clever. I don't blame the individual who makes this decision but it still seems quite perverse.

But, hypothetically, if they monetized the debt, it wouldn't be debt anymore?
I started a new job in January and although it was all right at first, it wasn't until long when my boss and I started being at odds with one another. As early as three months in he said multiple times that I "should know how to X by know" and later on said that I "hadn't improved since I started."

I dreaded going into work everyday, primarily because of him. I started looking for a new job six months in and I'm still looking.

About a month ago I started working with a remote dev, and it's been like night and day. Not only is he incredibly patient with me, but we have a good rapport and I'm unafraid to ask him questions. While he does give me fair critiques (never harsh), he's also complimented my work which has been a huge bonus.

This new arrangement's supposed to be temporary, and I'm hoping I can work under the remote dev full-time. I'm dreading the possibility that I may work under my original boss again.

But for now, my mental health has improved ten-fold. My original boss still works in the same area as me, and although his presence still gives me some anxiety at least I don't have to converse with him.
The bit about the impossibility of doing good in public is from The Human Condition. She gets it from Machievelli, who dared to "teach men how not to be good".

I'd recommend a collection of three essays called Crises of the Republic. If you like that, then check out The Human Condition.

I'm manic-depressive (diagnosed about two years ago), and honestly I'm really glad I discovered services like Doctor On Demand and Teladoc.

Seeing a doctor in person is a really time-consuming (and expensive if you're in the US and don't have good insurance), but Doctor on Demand/Teladoc makes it relatively cheap and easy to see a therapist who can actually prescribe any help you out.
Why is this a problem? Visually, it's very clear what is and is not a quote.
unfortunately no, not at this time.
> The strength of the housing market has helped support the bonds for now. Home-price appreciation has slowed over the past year, but the average U.S. house value still rose more than 2% in August from a year earlier, according to S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller data....

It's odd when articles like this don't specify whether the increase they're reporting was inflation-adjusted or not. It makes a big difference. If not inflation adjusted, then 2% represents almost no increase given the trailing 12 month CPI change of about 1.7%.

They're both responsible, the difference is Robinhood has to settle the trade in a day, and then they have to try to collect from someone who likely doesn't have any assets to give them. And if they do, they will still likely have to take them to court. So it costs Robinhood time and money even if they get their money back, which is doubtful.

Mirrors my thoughts regarding all math textbooks and published papers.

I remember reading a famous scientist (newton maybe) published a really accessible book on a subject, which was read by lots of lay persons and opened him up to lots of unwanted public attention.

So publishing in a more inscrutable way might be a way of assuring peer-to-peer communication.

Either that, or it's a labor of love where cleaning things up would detract from the forward momentum.

That seems low given the amount of property they control and their international foothold, along with the amount of time they have had to acquire their wealth.
You can still do distributed builds with modules. You can't have cyclic dependencies anymore though. Your code has to be structured into logical modules that are meant to be built in parallel. It's not going to be free. You could have replicated modules with the old preprocessor style, but this way it is formalized and enforced by the compiler.

I'm not really sure what your point is. That we don't have to worry about global warming because countries are going to work together to stop it? I wish I had your optimism.
For the case of "A transaction can of course be reversed simply by making the inverse transfer." the equivalence is broken by the technical authorisation required - in most systems if I'm able to make a transfer, I'm not able to simply make the inverse transfer, that other person is able to make the inverse transfer. So the question of reversals essentially is whether the inverse transfer can be made (and if so, under what conditions) against the wishes of the original recipient.

And when there's a good answer to that, the next question is what are the exact consequences to reversals (or attempted reversals) of money that's "not there anymore" - e.g. there's a valid transfer from A to B; followed by a transfer from B to C; followed by a need/decision to reverse the A to B transaction (which is a very, very common scenario in e.g. scam resolution). For systems that treat money as the conceptual equivalent of "stuff" (e.g. Bitcoin) that's a very hard question; most of our financial infrastructure (probably for millenia) treats money as the conceptual equivalent of "debt relationship" i.e. a metric of who owes whom how much, and then it's a bit easier but still not trivial.
