Are you sure you are not able to do your website performance analytics from your server logs? More often than not, user agent side analytics end up collecting lots of unnecessary sensitive data, and sharing it with third parties like Google.
Good comment. I sometimes describe borrowing as renting money, where interest is the rent. Its a mathematically interesting construct because, for one thing, the value of the thing you rented goes down with cumulative rent paid. It's kind of a degenerate money cycle if you loan money to someone who uses it to pay you interest on the loan. I suppose only taxes (serving as friction, removing energy) prevent this from being a kind of economic perpetual motion machine! I'd be stunned if this trick wasn't a) very old, and b) have about 1000 modern variations.
That's it!

Thank you so much.
I wonder how this relates to Cosmological Natural Selection theory - the idea is that the black hole 'bounces' into a child universe, which inherits some of the parent characteristics. Perhaps the information finds its way there.

>> "It is possible with the right mindset. In an investing group that I'm part of, my story is the norm - not the exception."

Two words: selection bias. That your path worked for you does not mean it's the only wise path for every circumstance. The path of most people around me is their savings get destroyed by surprise medical or repair bills because they were born into poverty and never get a chance to build meaningful savings. So it's better to spend it on something while you have it on things that can't be taken away in a bankruptcy.

Most people (in this context) make the mistake of spending it on drugs, worthless trinkets, junk food, etc. Most aren't encouraged to pursue skills that can pay the bills. Or they're actively discouraged. "Crabs in a bucket" is a real mentality. People I grew up around have it. I had to hide my interest in entrepreneurship just to protect it from sabotage.

I'm glad you were in a situation that enabled your path! It's great that you were able to thrive through early savings. I don't know when you came up, but cheap and functional cars are hard to come by in a post-Cash for Clunkers world and police are more aggressive with the homeless/car-homed. Your path is not as viable in the US in 2019.

This is basically what comes from a mindset increasingly common among ML practitioners of abdicating thinking and assuming "the machine will find what features are important". They throw a junkyard full of features at the algorithm (or even worse automated feature generation). These days at least once a fortnight I get the opportunity to show folks how if only they thought for 10-15 mins or simply charted their data in a few different cuts before modeling, how much better they could have done :-)
15 years ahead is a good rule of thumb for DoD / Aerospace. 3D printing and additive manufacturing used to carry monikers like Rapid Prototyping and Stereolithography but has been in use for decades.

And before S&P went from 400 to 7000 largely uninterrupted, and NASDAQ from 350 to 7100. But as those are compounding values (i.e. there is not a linear realationship between year n and year n+1, but an exponential one) one can gain more insights from comparisons of the annual returns - that is the reason why I linked those. The annual returns are not unusual, though. Please have a look at them!

If the prices of assets rise, that is appreciation. If stocks or houses appreciate, you can sell them and profit: Your purchasing power rises. If consumables experience inflation, you can not sell them for a profit: They are either immaterial, like services, or can rot, like food. This isn't pedantry, these are different concepts.
Because do-nothing is an acceptable outcome for a body like ICANN (whereas for example it's a huge problem for the US Senate) it would be fine IMNSHO if ICANN had been given to the relevant specialized agency of the United Nations, the ITU.

Next step in ad blocking is using local trained AI to figure out what is an ad and what is not based on the content that it shows (regardless of origin).

May be more of a challenge with trackers as they don't to show ads per se, but may be the same technique can be used with "randomly" generated URLs - train an AI to dynamically make a guess whether the sub-domain (even first party) is a tracker or not. There may not be a clear marker, but there is always a pattern...
Honestly during my last job search, I had a lot of recruiters try an contact me about jobs in Charlotte (was living in SC at the time and Charlotte was the closest 1 million+ metro) but ultimately decided not to pursue anything there. Primarily, it just seems like one of the dullest, most sterile city even when compared to other southern cities like Atlanta, Nashville, etc. It seems like a fine place if you're getting older and looking to settle down / have a family / buy a house, etc., but not for a young single guy. Ironically I ended up taking a job in a tiny city / large town in Florida which is likely worse, but I just wanted a break from the South-proper scene.

I'm kinda regretting it tbh, because at the least moving to Charlotte would have exposed me to the Finance industry which I could bounce off of to land myself in pretty high paying roles later in life, but I think my next job search I'm going to leave the south altogether.

My partner really picked up cooking in the last couple of years. We hardly ever go out anymore. Every time we get a craving she says "Yeah, we could go to a crowded restaurant... or I could make it better". Without fail, she does.

I think the secret is, one of the most important aspects of good food is time to table. When you make it at home, you can eat as soon as it's done or rested. Along with the anticipation factor of having worked on it yourself and having the smells fill your home for a while beforehand.

Plus, if you're an introvert who's already burnt out for the day, you don't have to wear pants. Huge points for not having to wear pants.

Let me know if I’m not understanding this right, but why does the origin of the ad software (scripts) matter to their undesirability?

Before:

Ad providers tell you to throw an external element in your page to display an ad.

After:

Ad providers tell you to add a library to your code directly that pulls down ads and serves them front the same place your site comes from.

This doesn’t magically make the website selling advertisement space aware of what code they’re running on your browser via those ads.

If you want to just get things done then this sort of complexity wouldn't impact you in the slightest using C++. You could just write code without needing to know this information. This is something for people really needing to squeeze performance out of systems.

If you are looking for performance though, other languages have similar but different pitfalls and bits of esoteric knowledge that you need. Constructs that you should use or avoid, the layout of data in memory, when to run or prevent running of a GC, etc.

The grammar here isn't standard. Usually you'd mark the subject doing the liking with は and the object being liked with が. Both generally function as topic markers in other circumstances, so context is important. You can even occasionally use は to mark the object being liked if you're pointing out one particularly liked thing. Using を to mark a subject of affection is pretty rare and regarded as incorrect/usually just a tongue slip.

Oftentimes in conversation, particles will be completely dropped in a 好き statement. So getting something like "俺、これ好き" (I, this like) isn't uncommon. In that situation, it's the pause marking the subject doing the liking. If the order is reverse, usually the object marker is used, though as in "これすき、俺は" (this like, I).

Japanese grammar is a complex mess. It uses particles and can be orderless, or it can drop many particles (sometimes all) and have everything marked by pauses and timing.

With the style of regulation preferred by the EU, I’m afraid the end result will be the death of independent websites and the establishment of a handful of de facto official websites that have the resources to follow all of the regulations, just like TV.

This may just be some inevitable fact about humanity. We’ve seen this sort of regulation and ultimate centralization of every single communications medium going back to the printing press.

Now it seems destined to be the opposite of those things: a centralized tool for polarization and control.
Until neuroscientists began researching meditation, the practice was coupled with various Asian cultural practices and beliefs, some from ancient times. It is reasonable to be doubtful of the efficacy of meditation when the evidence is effectively socio-cultural.

Exactly. Smacking down a rich billionaire who did something dirty is a political win you can present to the voters in NY and recovering money for other billionaires who got fleeced is a win you can present to the moneyed elite. Incentive alignments like that are fairly rare. There is nothing to lose here because even if you lose it can become a rallying cry for preventing it in the future.

Even if there were no legal basis for the investigation it would likely still happen because it is such a massive political win that even if the AG was too dumb to take it up on their own accord the AG's boss would strongly suggest an investigation be opened.

Just to be clean I'm not defending Neuman/WeWork definitely did wrong and I think the statutes around securities fraud are broad enough to nail them, just that the technical legality is a footnote compared to the other motivators here. It should be obvious why this kind of prosecution is a politician's wet dream (and make no mistake, a state AG is a politician, just not an elected one) regardless of whether there's clear law violation or not.

Government doesn't swing into action like this because it's morally right or whatever (it may be morally right, but that is tangential). It swings into action because there are stakeholders to please and it's rare to have two big stakeholder groups aligned like this.

Your observation of micro movements of the mouse causing issues is hitting the nail on the head. This movement comes from the wrist and should be avoided.

All pro gamers use a somewhat low sensitivity which forces the movement to come from the forearm instead of the wrist. Higher accuracy isn't the only reason, you'll get chronic wrist pain within a couple of months if the mouse movement comes from your wrist.

I'd recommend at least 20cm/360, better 25+. No accel.

I didn't say interest on a loan was a scam I think compound interest on mortgages is. A fixed price interest would make sense like you borrow £100 , you pay back £110. 10% interest. But my understanding on a compound interest mortgage is the bank says something like 2% interest. and they take the £100 and x by 1.02 and just spam ='s on the calculator until the actual interest percentage is like 180%.

You shouldn't have to spend an hour learning how the bank are gnna screw you.

For me it's less about "tracking" and more about tracking with aggregation. Self-hosted things like AWStat and Matomo (formerly Piwik) are fine in my book. It's bringing together those analytics across different sites which is problematic.

Wow, if I'd had a situation like this when I was in defense I might still be there. Instead, I had managers old enough to be my father, no upward path until I "put in my time", and an attitude that wanting to move around within the company was "disloyal" to my current management.

It need not be a subdomain. Analytics could be proxied from the main domain.
The themes are quite easy to tweak and all that tech stack upgrade mess is just not an issue. You can update the app itself just by downloading the new version. So it's nice for busy developers too.
You are right that there's a massive difference between populated and unpopulated areas. One is better because it doesn't have as many people. Just by breathing people create Co2. Just by existing people create waste. Not sure how that could be fixed.
Not to take anything away from your larger point, but TypeScript doesn't have not casting, it has type assertions. This matters because casting means "turn it into this type", which generates code. A type assertions only means "assume it's this type". It gets removed at compile time, plus any intermediate variables you might need to create to avoid the occasional type assertion monstrosity will be appropriately cleaned up by any minifier.

In short, I strongly doubt that the need for type assertions would meaningfully impact jQuery file size.
Sure, on an absolute basis, someone who started with more than me will end up with more. But why does that matter to me? I only have my current resources to consider.

We all have some resources at our disposal. Understanding that slowly growing them over time can really add up is helpful regardless of where you start. In fact, I'd argue that knowledge of compounding is more helpful for those with little. Wealthy people aren't in need of more wealth, so the concept is less useful for them.
Looking back at the comment, I see what you mean. Foiled again by posting before fully waking up.
For CAD work, something like a large macropad might be helpful -- giving additional keys, rather than taking some away.

On a keyboard like the one linked below, every key can be programmed arbitrarily, i.e. you can set a single key to do "Control X" or whatever. I don't know if this can do it, but things like having a single key do "Control X, 5, move mouse left 5 pixels, Control K" are possible on some of these mechanical keyboards, given some programming ability.

("Gaming" macropads are also an option, the flashy LEDs can usually be disabled.)
