Everyone is asking you for citations (good thing) but I have very little doubt you're right. These outrage pieces frequently leave out lots of details, particularly ones that go against the agenda of the article.

I suspect this part

"But he made a mistake in calculating the interest owed, resulting in another underpayment of $8.41.

A little more than a year later, in February 2014, Rafaeli's rental property was one of 11,000 properties put up for auction by Oakland County. It was sold for $24,500 in August of the same year—far less than what Rafaeli had paid for the property just three years earlier."

is glossing over a lot of pertinent details.
"Long AMD"

are you expecting a higher stock price? because their 90 PE TTM doesn't look like it's in line with the rest of the industry.

don't get me wrong, i was also long AMD, and still partly am, but i don't think the stock can go higher than 36-37, or even maintain that level long term, without some some mega quarters. which according to their own estimates will not be the case.
I agree. Just pointed out that it is patched now...or rather, should be.
Wrong question. Better question: why is the scale of inequality acceptable?

The study itself looks interesting, but this EdWeek summary is both incoherent and ungrammatical.

Also, the study itself never uses the word "inequity", etc.

So Tinder for parents is a terrible idea. (Full disclosure: my wife's a Peanut member. She's been meaning to uninstall it for a while.) Think about the key observations that made Tinder take over the dating space: people are basically superficial and judge who to go out with based on looks alone; people have spare time to flip through photos; people want to be casual and not invest too much in a date before getting to know them. These are the exact opposite qualities that you want in a mom-friend. When you're a new mom you're probably not looking your best, and putting up a profile picture isn't high on your list of things to do. You don't give a shit what your mom friends look like, and once you're reading through text it's more like "Facebook for moms". You have very little free time to swipe through profiles, and when you do, you want your mom-friend-relationships to count.

There's a lesson there for people who want to phrase their startup idea as "X for Y". You should ask how similar Y is to the userbase that originally made X popular, and whether you are capturing the qualities they have in common or just randomly cargo-culting a successful product. "Flickr for video" works because a photo-viewing community and video-viewing community are substantially similar: they both have similar casual interactions around shared multimedia, and they both benefit heavily from recommendations, discovery mechanisms, and social sharing. Similarly, "Google for China" works because people in China have information needs too yet actual Google has an antagonistic relationship with the CCP. "Uber for laundry" and "Uber for housecleaning" are both terrible ideas because Uber's value proposition is that you can get transportation on-demand and it can be done by unskilled people as long as they get you safely to your final destination, while both housecleaning and laundry are stuff you do once a week, on a planned basis, and you really want to trust the people who are doing it. "Uber for grocery delivery" (Instacart/UberEats/DoorDash/Postmates) is a decent idea, though, because grocery delivery is also something you want on-demand, do regularly, and can be done by basically anyone.

How is the text/data stored per cell? I tried building something similar to this based off cells in Jupyter notebooks, but one issue I encountered was with having a one-way binding from editor to render.

One problem with this is with to-do lists, where instead of having the user modifying the underlying text representation in the editor, I wanted the user to be able to check off an item via the rendered html. For this, it seems like I needed three components: an editor, a render, and a non-flat data model.
HPC is the use case in this thread, considering the topic is revolving around HPC benchmarks.
Anything that runs on the Windows desktop uses Win32 at some point in its stack. If you work on anything that is close to Win32 then you may also need to work with Win32 itself.

For example if you work on a game engine or toolset then you must know Win32 - especially if you work on the tools, even if you are using a wrapper like wxWidgets or Qt.

The only time where you can avoid Win32 is if you're using something that completely abstracts away the entire system, like Java Swing or a web browser.
>I was quite amazed when I first learned of the breadth of possible valuation methods IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) allows for.

Think that's a bit of a misunderstanding of what's going on. IFRS doesn't deal with valuation methods per se. It's a principles driven set of standards. In this case that's "fair value". The valuation method would be driven by something like IPEV

In my case, usually whichever one is closest. If I want good food I wouldn't be going for a sandwich.

Even in the case of good food, it's usually the closest one that meets a certain bar. You could serve identical food as a distant, good restaurant and I would go to yours if you were closer. You don't need to differentiate, especially if you are serving a standard, authentic rendition of some ethnic dish.
My understanding is they store everything in SQLite. Their business strategy is to charge for sync (although manual export is free)

Given that it is branded as a note taking application it makes sense both from a business and implementation point of view.

Bear also kinda uses its own rendering for some things. Like dashes turn into checkboxes rather than unordered lists. Again, for a note app, checkboxes are really neat!

I've had the luxury of a 36.5 hour work week, with no on call for about 18 years. It exists, but don't expect $300,000 salaries with it. You want to be rich, or do you want to live a rich life?
FWIW you can easily open up the text files in VS Code. Last time I was messing with it, I tried to find a way to integrate it more, and I think you can set it as the editor's default text editor.
Suppose you're in a situation where you have to resolve a bug under 15 minutes, or you'll get fired, or maybe your company will go bankrupt. If the codebase if FP based, it is certainly going to be more difficult to quickly find and fix the bug as compared to a codebase written in a simpler language. FP is good for experimenting and playing with, but IMO it is not suitable for anything serious. Rust is also not going to get too far for the same reason I believe.

Of course it is...it's a natural consequence of compound interest. One's ability to accumulate additional wealth scales exponentially with their level of existing wealth.
Absolutely - and that's a good thing. Those who produce more should earn more as well.
Are they all exactly the same? Target? Safeway? Food4Less? Do you see any differentiation between these? Would it be a reasonable assumption that conversations like, "I like to go to Target over Safeway because..." happens?

> The counter argument is: If a widowed elderly woman…

Proposition 13 does not target widowed elderly women; it only benefits property owners regardless of whether they are widowed elderly women. For example, widowed elderly renters are harmed instead of helped. If we wanted an entitlement for low-income and elderly people, we should have made one that targeted these groups instead of the one that only incidentally helps low-income people (https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/90-1912.ZD.html)
>Solar heating is on the order of 5000 times our current energy utilization.

Oh, wow, that's it!? We have MUCH greater energy utilization than I thought. That's impressive.
No. It's almost unexploitable in the real world. An insanely stupid overreaction that we're all being forced to pay for. Security theatre for the post-Web 2.0 age.
Nearly all [UK] councils hand user tracking data to marketing companies
Can scientists quantify how much of energy efficiency gains can be made from current hypothetically suboptimals tokamak geometry?
Actually, in the UK at least there are VC firms which invest solely in retail and food businesses. Usually they take an already existing restaurant with a single location and turn it into a chain. It is possible to create scalable value in the retail and restaurant businesses, mainly due to the power of brand recognition.
And the more technology we have, the more the differences in the ability to produce wealth in the first place will be magnified.
Oh boy, where do I begin?

Edit: Sorry, I should first ask with how you define "production". It seems to be a now dated and almost arbitrary term more suited for agrarian or industrial societies, which seems less telling in an information/service-driven economy.

If a police officer patrols for 8 hours, arresting no one, did he "produce" anything? Likewise, if he patrols for 8 hours, and arrests 2 people, did he "produce" more than in the other example? The term "production" as a metric seems woefully outdated in our society.

Encoding multiple video streams in real time simultaneously.
I presume that's the case in every U.S. state. Part of the bus stop protocol I got taught is that kids cross the street in front of the bus after they get out, and that we needed to walk forward far enough that the driver could see us.
I don't understand the obsession with async code. I can understand it with JavaScript: browser environment was crippled and node copied that instead of making proper threading available. But for most environments it's not a problem. Just use thread pool and enjoy sane sequential programming model. Yes, it might not work for Google scale. But it should work for the vast majority of projects and if you really need to think about scaling, you should think about scalable architecture to be able to scale to multiple machines.

It's like every programming language and framework today suddenly decides to introduce those async primitives and I've yet to find a single use-case for it in my projects.
The tyranny of the rocket equation mostly - parachutes are light in comparison. They could use a burn to handle the deorbit or a but that would add more mass which requires adding more mass.

The "more modern" alternatives would be heavier and depend upon more systems. Even if dealing with futuristic assumptions like say electromagnetic in atmosphere flight and battery density/reactors good enough to handle reentey braking for a reduction of net reaction mass a parachute would have a place as a backup plan.
Given that there will always be an influx of new people; and that most people will not be familiar with previous discussions, I'm not convinced that most forums are being assaulted by bad actors. This seems to be more of a Eternal September problem.

Of course bad actors can abuse this; though I've always felt it would be good for the derailing comments to be removed with a polite dm message explaining that the topic had been discussed previously with links to said discussion.
Their "low" forecast is significantly higher than the current price. I'm skeptical.

They are publishing statements of fact about a competitor. The onus is on them to check those facts, and companies should be held accountable for the things they say - even in advertising

It's true, media and cinema have changed. Though it's through him and other directors of his generation (Lucas, Spielberg, Coppalla), the "Movie Brats" that helped change it. The old model, which he is being nostalgic for was failing. The Movie Brats came along and changed that, revitalizing the movie industry. Out with the old, in with the new. (New, lighter better film cameras in the 70s helped.)

And now, studio execs are geared towards profit. A franchise, big budget film is more likely to make a profit than a small film. So studios are less likely to fund small films.

Also, in the further pursuit of profits, studios take bigger profits for theater rights to show a film. Which is easier for big theater chains to do, and much more difficult for independent to do.

At the moment, there are very few solutions to these problems. Making small films are expensive. Independent film makers rarely make a profit.
Ah, I just checked, and I have some referral credit that gives me a discount. Sorry to misadvertise the price!
Because capitalism and free enterprise are predicated on fair competition and equal access. In theory, the best and most innovative ideas thrive and lead to economic growth.

Extreme inequality undermines this by allowing those who already have significant wealth to put their finger on the scales (lobbying, anticompetitive practices, etc.)

> Why is paying taxes on your wealth considered unreasonable here?

If I buy a painting from a young, unknown artist for $100, for example, and 30 years later the artist is well known and that painting could be sold for $1 million, we don't make me pay taxes on the $999900 my wealth has increased due to owning the painting.

Instead, we keep track of what I paid for the painting, and when I eventually do sell it and so the wealth represented by the painting gets converted into money we tax me on the gain then.

Offhand, real estate is about the only thing I can think of where you can own something, and because someone else would be willing to buy it for a lot more than you paid, you have to pay taxes based on that much higher amount.

Why should real estate wealth be treated different than other forms of wealth?
>> 5.6 seconds before impact, it classified her as a vehicle. Then it changed its mind to “other,” then to vehicle again, back to “other,” then to bicycle, then to “other” again, and finally back to bicycle.

The system should have started applying brake at this point. If a 3500lb vehicle can't decide what it is about to impact, it needs to slow down (to a stop if necessary).

> That triggered what Uber called “action suppression,” in which the system held off braking for one second

This is borderline criminal negligence.

> with 0.2 seconds left before impact, the car sounded an audio alarm, and Vasquez took the steering wheel, disengaging the autonomous system. Nearly a full second after striking Herzberg, Vasquez hit the brakes.

Why were there no alarms going off at 5.6 seconds when the vehicle was confused!!!??

You wouldn't want to invest in a sandwich shop, and the reason is precisely why investors ask about differentiation.

Have there been any efforts to quantify what level of inequality is reasonable?

For instance, the GINI coefficient ranges between 0 and 1, where 0 means everyone has the same amount, and 1 means one person at the top has everything. Depending on how it's measured, the US is somewhere between 0.4 and 0.5.

You don't want to be at either extreme, so some level of inequality is desirable. Is there an appropriate amount of inequality that is generally accepted? Has anyone tried to identify the appropriate target level?
Except in terms of tech being the core of their product, which is what a tech company is. A hospital uses a network and banks make a ton of internal tools. This does not make them pure tech businesses.

Fraidycat – Toward Following People Instead of Platforms
Fraidycat (https://fraidyc.at/) is a delightful browser extension for following people on the interwebs. It's an easy-to-use yet hackable, FOSS, privacy-respecting, and experimental next-generation feed aggregator and reader. Not every platform offers RSS, so Fraidycat tries to build those bridges for you, scraping and packaging it up for you automagically. It aims to enable you to tailor your own feeds, priorities, and timelines from across the web in your browser.

Instead of being beholden to cycling through endless applications and platforms to follow people: use Fraidycat to simplify, defragment, and take ownership of your window into the lives of others on the web. Fraidycat is afraid of what the web has become (and is becoming), and it's savagely fighting back.

I want to bypass the treadmills and middlemen which aim to commodify my attention span and the pipelines between me and others. I don't want my browser to become just some surveilled thin-client dehumanizingly displaying a walled-garden web engineered by whatever an oligarchy of corporations chooses for me. Fraidycat allows me to more independently use my resources to track and represent people on the web for me. I'm convinced it gives the power of surfing and taking the pulse of the web back to the user.

You own the aggregation process with Fraidycat because it runs in your browser. Political and technological autonomy requires turnkey tooling for users to actively shape the algorithms which pick out what they find salient on their own terms and devices. We have to shape our own filter-bubbles and how we feed ourselves information. Fraidycat is the kind of a lens-crafting tool we need.

Take you, like, two minutes and try you one out: https://fraidyc.at/.
The biggest benefit I see with Async code is that a thread can go back to the thread pool while you as an example wait for a response from a HTTP request to an external service

The problem that arises when you define censorship broadly is that the opposite of censorship is censorship.

If no one can restrict what gets published in their venues then as soon as a venue starts discussing stuff I don't like, I can spin up a shill call center or a guy with a thousand accounts and a copy of GPT2 and flood that venue with so much divisive moronicism that the voices that threaten me will be almost completely drowned out.

Worse, large open venues being flooded with low quality communications already happens even without any intentional censorship-by-flooding attack. ... providing great cover for these attacks. Especially savvy attackers can leverage the pre-existing populations of well meaning fools by shaping their messages to motivate fools into carrying on the disruption on their own.

If you think about it-- the classical view of censorship where someone outright silences you is nearly impossible online today in most of the world. It is extraordinarily hard to completely stop the spread of information that people want to spread. But at the same time, censorship that works by flooding out an idea or discrediting it by association with abusive nutballs has never been easier or more effective.

When we worry too much about private parties shutting down conversations in their own venues we risk improving the situation around an outmoded and somewhat ineffectual model of censorship at the expense of making a modern and highly effective model much worse.

The best I think we can do is foster an internet structure where everyone can have their own venues which they can operate under whatever rules they think are best, and everyone is free to move among them at the lowest cost possible. That way, effective moderation can shut down flooding attacks and voting-with-your-feet can shut down overly censorious (or overly passive!) moderation.

Unfortunately, the highly centralized world created by the popularity and network effects of sites like facebook, twitter, and youtube are the opposite of this. Instead of people being empowered to self-regulate abuse and migration being easy, people are disempowered and migration costs are high.
> It's like every programming language and framework today suddenly decides to introduce those async primitives and I've yet to find a single use-case for it in my projects.

Consider that maybe this is because your projects are not the intended targets of async programming.

Async is super not new. Fibers and CSP and etc. are not new. A lot of the benefit of better concurrency is exactly for stuff that scales horizontally, but just because you can scale to hundreds of boxes does not mean you want each box to be bottlenecked on how many connections it can handle. For servers you absolutely want to be able to use your nodes to their fullest. Demand for this is almost certainly driving programming languages.

10 boxes handling 10000 connections > 100 boxes handling 1000 connections (edit: each)
