For those who didn't get a blueprint to start (ie, we have a 50yo home - all that stuff wasn't available when we bought) - how do you recommend doing proper measurements?
Or would you outsource that?
"have one fewer child" is the most efficient way to decrease your carbon footprint (see https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/07/best-way-reduce-your... )

Easy, right? However, I am not sure it is correct. For instance, if you produce less than 2 kids (e.g., 0) AND it was your decision, would not it mean that all the carbon footprint went to adapt/improve your genetic material (including your grand-grand-parents) is a waste in some sense? You are the last one of your branch. Wasn't you fooled to believe you should have no kids? Makes a lot of sense for other branches to fool you and gain a greater ratio of the entire genetic material (this is basically the definition of fitness function in evolutionary biology - to have more offspring / a greater ratio of genetic material). Evolutionary processes at play.
Pricing a good out of someone's budget range seems entirely like removing them from the economy. What's more, your tax will hit the most economically vulnerable people in society the hardest. It's hard for me to believe people won't feel ashamed when the things they enjoy are suddenly beyond their reach.
I've experienced similar effects with intermittent fasting. I started cutting out the breakfast and after a while my mind was super clear in the morning. Eating lunch caused that to flip around drastically, though.
Embracing Nullable Reference Types
I always had questions about the liquidity on offer though seeing participants flee the market in black swan events. HFT liquidity could be illusionary - its only there when its not quite required similar to how the bank "only offers you a loan when you don't need one". Of course this is exactly the point when liquidity is required; normally there's sufficient liquidity in normal times from market participants. Its easy to offer liquidity in normal times; harder to do so when no one else wants to offer it.
After deciding to read the message at all after being put upon by an author who doesn't know me, I found the message to be a bit of a cliche nowadays. Who's his audience? Hungry consumers aren't busy reading and following commandments handed down by domain names.
Not quite yet. However, now that many people have adopted Julia, we've had an influx of people looking to fund projects for static compilation of binaries from Julia. This is leading to some efforts to fix this problem, like PackageCompilerX.jl
>Without having to shame people into removing themselves from the economy.

No, you'll just remove them from the economy without their consent, by introducing regulation to artificially lower supply. Everyone is against this: the companies who won't make as much profit and the consumers who won't be able to purchase the goods that they want. Good luck with that.

Certainly electric night at light are a waste, right?

Running lightbulbs in an average home for a year uses more resources than travel.

Lighting is 17% of global carbon emissions, I think [0]. And air travel is 2.5% or so.

Many people don’t even have the option not to travel, but everyone can choose not to use electric lights.

No. Docs have no clue about these sort of things. They are good for "leg broken, must fix leg". They suck at chronic and ambiguous illnesses. In the US, you can try the Mayo Clinic, they have specialists. Otherwise, help yourself.
You can get 'As-Builts' made, we did this recently in preparation for some remodel work - often people looking to break into home design will look to do them. I would check with home designers in your area and see if they have anyone they recommend.

Also check with your city - blueprints are on file going quite far back in many places.
Uhm... So they're tracking individual devices instead of accounts?
Just use a laser rangefinder. If you can't borrow one, they are really cheap and make room measurements a trivial task.
> Essentially, the market signals feed on themselves, converting to hard-to-fake status signals, expending great energy at producing nothing: not as a byproduct, but as a primary effect.

Since this is about status rather than the goods, it can flip on a dime to asceticism when that becomes a high status good. Monk habits, Mao suits and military uniforms are also status goods, and all broadcast the expenditure of great energy that often produces nothing, or less. Buying less can be a status symbol almost as easily as buying more.
Post seems above board, but as soon as i learned tiktok is chinese moderated, i deleted my account. Not interested.
Around these parts of the world (Eastern Europe) shaming has had its pretty good effects during the last 25-30 years. We used to litter a lot more just after communism fell, I remember that even I, as a kid, had no remorse at throwing some piece of paper or whatever at the side of the road. Nowadays I wouldn't even dream of doing that, and generally speaking people throw stuff by the roadside a lot less. The same discussion goes for smoking in public places, we even managed to have that outlawed a few years ago, a feat unimaginable a couple of decades ago when I used to have high-school teachers who were smoking in class.
It doesn't even mention the possibility of political motivations. Nor does it mention the concept of freedom of speech. I think it says all we need to know about the lack of values from this company.
If you try installing TikTok on a Samsung Android device inside Secure Folder, your account will get banned pretty quickly. Same for WeChat, too.

Hang on, that is conflating separate ideas.

The substance of your post is describing price discovery - price discovery isn't the issue here. The issue is that the price discovery is being done in milliseconds.

The substance of the complaint is the speed of the auction that discovers the price. The faster price discovery is being done, the fewer traders can participate. If a few milliseconds can change the value of a financial instrument then we have to accept that waiting a second or two will allow a lot more traders to reevaluate and offer a fair price.

The HF in HFT looks like a play to reduce the number of traders who can act on information, which means the buyer/seller is probably getting scalped. HFT traders are making money arbitraging the speed of information dissemination, which indicates that other traders would offer different (/better) prices if the market waited a half-second or so to let everyone gather all the relevant data.
Most of the times when people realize what you realized and go for a change of habits - less buying and doing the same with less/minimal lifestyle - the first step they take is to throw stuff away. I've done it myself. Now I really stress the reuse and the repurpose before throwing anything away. Otherwise sell. At the end of the day is one crap less that ends up in some landfill.

Aren’t charitable donations a form of buying? Lots of religions have penance as part of their tradition and most will encourage donating to fund church building and whatnot.

I’ve lived in rural America and if you want to help the poor, open a Walmart. Their prices were lower than the dime store and they hired people of all races and you could work there without being groped by the old owner. Of course it wasn’t perfect as there are flaws with Walmart too. But as far as utilitarian impact on the poor buying stuff can be very helpful.

Looks really similar to what you can get out of floorplanner.com which I’ve used for several personal home renovation projects (full basement finishing and master bathroom renovation).

well he talked about the AOT stuff. which is not on par as dotnet core's aot approach in 3.0, however default graalvm is quite fast (but still memory hungry)
This the same line of reasoning I've used in the past. I just wish more people would get on board, to be honest. It's a painfully hard battle to get people to adopt the mentality of minimal exposure, and to see the real value in it. It's always AFTER they get slammed by some unfortunate event that it becomes a priority.

People don't realize the real value of their own information, I suppose. It's probably the same reason there are so many people who say they don't mind being surveilled because "they have nothing to hide." It's only after they've seen their freedoms restricted that they realize they should have cared more.

"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."

> you would see much less demand/supply

Why? If the HFT firm was willing to offer me $X 2 milliseconds ago they are probably still willing to offer $X now. It isn't like there has been time for anything to change; there are going to be short periods of time where there is literally no new information.

And they are just as likely to be offering me more now than less as conditions change.

Raising prices does this but the side effect could be putting individuals that really need a product in hard spot. Creating laws on single use non-biodegradable material and/or the amount of it could be beneficial. This will increase prices slightly on those goods.

I just visited the website and have 3 suggestions:

- Update the website visuals/design, they seem a bit dated

- Put the download buttons on the front page to increase conversions

- Make a mobile version, especially for tablets. Most tablets nowadays seem powerful enough for your software, particularly the iPad. I'm sure you've thought of this before, and I have no idea what the competition is like. However, as a home owner, I can tell you interior design apps have 0% of my mind space. They should probably have more, especially considering that, combined with sites like Wayfair, IKEA, and Overstock.com, you can have a design --> purchase pipeline which is both convenient for consumers and beneficial for you via referral revenue.

Also, this isn't really a suggestion, but something I'd personally love: Machine learning interior design. AutoCAD already has ML structural design tools, and this would be simpler than that. Make it so that a consumer can enter their parameters (room layout, cost, visual style preferences) and your "artificial interior designer intelligence" generates 10 designs that the user can mix and match from. The designs would link to the cheapest seller of each piece of furniture. Alternatively, the user can manually select the main pieces of furniture, like the couch and TV console, enter their parameters, and the virtual assistant will suggest matching "in fill," things like couch pillows that people usually neglect or just purchase randomly whatever is on sale. Augmented reality viewing of the machine-generated designs would be the cherry on top and prepare you for mass market introduction of AR glasses.

> TikTok user posted a video that included the image of Osama bin Laden, resulting in an account ban in line with TikTok's policies against content that includes imagery related to terrorist figures.

The chinese government has started to classify protestors of Hong Kong as terrorists. What good are these policies where the core definition of the law itself is left for interpretation by the Chinese government?

The whole enterprise of China and their principles are just... absurd. The elephant in the room is complete authoritarian control by a uncontestable leader, but let's bikeshed about company policies. What company policies, if they only rest on the stilts built by the CCP?
Print to PDF. I print invoices and payment confirmations to PDF. In Chrome it is nice to get a preview and then to save without having to load a native PDF viewer. I also print coloring pages for my kids and being able to preview those before printing is helpful in cases of seeing how it looks in landscape or portrait and see if they would run over to a second page.
how reassuring!
Yeah... The CCP aren't really known for their tolerance.
You've gotta love the PR bullshit of it all. Someone intentionally chose to write the headline as:

> TikTok: An update on recent content and account questions

And not something more honest like:

> TikTok: An apology about a content moderation mishap

This is done to imply they did nothing wrong at the first glance, and then concede they did something wrong but will do better later on in the article.

It is also convenient that they first draw attention to the author of the video being associated with:

> (1) Terrorism or terrorist imagery, (2) Child exploitation, (3) Spam or similar malicious content.

And then immediately after concede that the video was removed because they messed up:

> Due to a human moderation error, the viral video from November 23 was removed. [...] it should not have been removed.

If companies want to know why they can't regain trust and aren't given the benefit of the doubt, it's because they cannot be honest in situations like this. PR in the 21st century is about communicating how you have in fact messed up because you are humans, not trying to gloss over it and distract from it like some corporate overlord.
That depends on whether "Everything" is finite or infinite.
Yes, adding delay generally lowers the economic value of markets. In addition to improving liquidity, as mentioned by others here, HFT also improves the relative pricing of related instruments. There is an enormous number of financial instruments traded for the purpose of prioritizing resources, transforming assets, and offsetting risk. Equities and cryptocurrencies are a small part of this connected financial universe. There are many trading entities with unique information and/or understanding about different parts of this constantly changing universe of prices. None of them has a complete view, but by communicating with each other through trading, their expertise is pooled. HFT speeds this communication network, which improves the dynamic consensus.
Yes, and that possibility is enough to make this fall under the GDPR.
At that point, they can simply charge their users a small fee. I remember reading once that Facebook makes something like $12/yr/user by exploiting their privacy.

I'd gladly pay $15/yr to use that service if I knew they weren't tracking my personal info and the service was ad-free. As it stands, I haven't been on the platform for nearly a decade now, and I'd return tomorrow if this were truly an option (and I actually knew I could trust them to honor the agreement).

IMO, that's how you strike a balance - use for free and we exploit your privacy, or pay a fee (preferably regulated to be similar to the average profit made on a user's private information) and no data will be collected or stored on you, except as is necessary to make the site work (for instance, setting times to your local timezone).
The Pegasus Startup: Flying over VCs on the Wings of Profits
Having hate is really unhealthy. Easier said than done...
I measured my flat in three steps:

1) I took a lot of photos - every space from multiple directions;

2) For each photo, I manually drew the "wireframe" of the space in Inkscape on a separate layer on top of the photo - wall/floor lines, doorways, windows, furniture;

3) I printed out the wireframe layers, grabbed a pencil and a measuring tape, and started to measure.

Step 2) could probably be semi-automated with some edge detection. Step 3) could probably be done if I had any recent experience doing photogrammetry. But fully manual solution wasn't that bad; I did my measurements over the course of a month, and finally made up a full floorplan in SweetHome3D with accurately sized furniture in one evening. This let my wife and me design a new furniture arrangement and buy appropriately sized movables in a single hour.

For people who, like me, lack the "mind's eye" and spatial imagination, having the flat digitized like this has immense value.
Someone off to the side who did not participate in that exchange benefits from it less than you and I did.

I'm not making a distinction of how valuable a particular piece of work is, just that work in general is valuable and should be valued such that whoever is employed by it should be able to be sustained by it.

If a person desires work but doesn't value it high enough to sustain a person whose time is wholly consumed by it, I would question the necessity of that piece of work. If it's not critical to your business maybe it shouldn't be done. If it is critical then it sounds like it's worth the compensation.

I spent the last year working fulltime on a system similar to the one described here.
I trade the top ~20 cryptos on binance. I use deep learning models (combination of temporal, causal convnets and RNNs) with heavy data augmentation. I built my own tooling for data collection, training, backtesting and live deployment. Having a data engineer background coming into this was hugely helpful: most of my time was spent manipulating data in some way (and not playing around with the models).
One of the most demanding parts was estimating spread/slippage costs and including it into the loss function.

Most of what the author talked about, I learned the hard way.

I'm now at the point where I ran some tests (trading small amounts) live on binance and the results are positive: I do manage to make small profits, but more importantly, the recorded live trades reflect very closely the backtest trades (for a given period). I'm currently scaling up my model and adding better monitoring / reporting / CI.

I'd be happy to chat with anyone having done similar projects or willing to exchange ideas.
