Taking multiple stops to cross the Pacific is still greatly lengthening your trip, and not just because of the pit-stop. See the other response here from JCharante about flying BOS-HAN; you can't do that with a 6500km range. And you can't stop in the middle, because there's no airports near the North Pole. So you'll have to do something like stop on the west coast, then stop again in Hawaii or Guam. Your total trip will be much greater. Why bother with this when you can do it non-stop in first-class with JAL or ANA? You'll have more comfort and better service than on your Citation too.
If I walk into a tech-related meeting and see somebody slickly dressed, I immediately think either "marketing droid" or PHB (clueless buzzword-filled Dilbert boss). The person who really knows what's going on from a tech perspective is probably rumpled and has a neck-beard or thick glasses. Those are the ones I try to sit next to.

I suspect like-finds-like because communication is quicker. Marketing people will seek to communicate with other marketing people, etc. because they speak the same lingo.

But the survey seems to measure only competence versus incompetence, not "who's good at X" which may be more useful in an actual business setting.

> The market cap for UNH isn't calculated using future cash flows.

Yes it is...

> The market cap for any security, by definition, is price-per-security number-of-securities.*

How do you think you get the price-per-security for a stock? If Apple has $100B in cash, why is their Market Cap $1.2T?

This is why people are skeptical of most things crypto... it really seems like there's hardly anyone in the community who understand fundamental financial concepts.

> You can argue that asset prices should be derived from future cash flows, and hence, both Bitcoin and gold should be almost worthless.

No - I'd just argue that it's completely misleading to try and assign a "market cap" to any asset other than a security and that people who rely on them are doing so to mislead rather to inform.

EVs may well get cheaper than ICE cars.

Battery capacity price in China is already below $100 per kwh.

EVs are simpler to engineer, have lesser parts, and supply chains for them are shorter.

At $5000-6000 per battery pack, the rest of the car will cost around $3000-4000 if you use super duper cheap Chinese steel.

More importantly, switch to electric will facilitate further physical downsizing of cars, and this will further increase the battery/payload mass ratio: EVs don't have to have engine compartment, nor structural tricks to contain heavy wobbly engine block, nor a need to provide a lot of rigidity for heavy mechanical components. A car with less "dead volumes" will of course be cheaper.

This way you may be getting 300km electric ranges even in reasonably cheap EVs in the future.
It doesn't matter that much whether the variable is global or local, but rather what the valid initializers are.

In C, all statics can only be initialized with compile-time constants. Thus, they can all be initialized before anything in the program starts running (indeed, there's no code initializing them in most implementations - they are just bytes in the data segment).

In C++, initializers can be arbitrary expressions, which means that an initializer for a global variable can spawn a thread, and that thread might still be running when another global is being initialized with a different expression that is not a compile-time constant. There are no thread safety guarantees wrt those kinds of conflicts, for either globals or locals. But for static locals with runtime initializers, the evaluation of initializer is deferred until execution actually reaches the definition of that variable - and thus C++ has a special provision for thread-safe synchronization if that happens on two different threads concurrently.
You should give up on the vegetable thing, by the way. Just don't let your kids drink lots of liquid calories and don't feed them hyperpalatable packaged food and they'll be fine.

Not really: spot and outright forwards are about $3tn of daily turnover in the OTC forex markets; with forex swaps amounting to about another $3.2tn.

There is about $100tn notional of OTC forex derivatives outstanding, but the actual total market value is only about $2.2tn. Exchange-traded forex futures and options have barely $170bn of daily average turnover of notional.

The two are related. The Wikipedia article I posted has appropriate links that explain the relationship. Note that I replied to someone who said “dataflow“ and not dataflow hardware or architecture.

I think this article misses two points more important than anything else mentioned.

1) B-trees are dynamic while hash tables are not. A B-tree grows gracefully across orders of magnitude, and shrinks just as easily. Most hash tables do not have this property. Extensible hashing, and linear hashing do grow and shrink gracefully, but I'm not sure how widely used they are.

2) In a database system, the concern was traditionally to minimize page accesses. CPU is not negligible, and now there are main memory databases, as well as RAM sizes much larger than they were in the 70s and 80s. However, a lot of the main ideas in traditional OLTP databases were developed a long time ago, and the resulting architecture is still very much in use. So how many page reads to do a key lookup in a hash table? One. End of story. How many page reads to do a key lookup in a B-tree? Or to be more precise, a B+-tree, which has a much higher branching factor? Probably one. The root, and most likely the second level of pages stay cached, so it's really one page access to get a 3rd-level page. And, of course, as mentioned in the article, B-trees give you sequential access in key order, for when that's important.

Posts without URLs get penalized, so you'd be better off posting this with a link, then adding your text as a first comment in the new thread. Good luck!

The community reacts better when your username represents you as a human. You don't have to use your real name, of course, just something to communicate that you're there as a person rather than as a brand.

This is clever, but I think you could get a similar result with fewer dedicated internal staff (better for a company with no US ops) by leasing or selling vehicles to e.g. ZipCar.

> I have a hard time believe its anything other than market makers providing the illusion of trades

Can you elaborate? I'm guessing you mean whales?

Also, how is this any better or different for that matter, for the most stock exchanges like NYSE when most of it is Algo based bit trading?

Bitcoin definitely suffers from volatility, how much you can attribute that to large holders (whales) is incredibly difficult; consider that the Japanese government, as were the US Marshalls, fill(ed) that role as they took over Mt. Gox and Silk Road respectively. Other local governments have also created large (relatively to a private individual) mining operations as job creator (Montana).

So, again, I'll first ask you to define what a Market is, and what exactly constitutes a Marker Maker, because what you're describing is not exactly clear nor is it intelligible given the context of what the aforementioned are and their roles in price discovery.
I like the term that Ben Thompson (who writes Stratechery) uses for this kind of thing: "strategy credit":

Yeah, I prefer unit tests over docs. Rather than writing a document saying "Make sure X does Y" Just write a spec checking that X does Y and if it ever stops doing that there will be a descriptive error in the CI.

Docs and comments go out of date and people don't know they exist/where to find them. Unit tests are always checked and always maintained.
Orwell is spinning in his grave at the phrase "a current source of truth"
At an Apple all-hands around 2005, an employee asked Steve why they made the iPod, and he said "because we love music." And the answer was so simple and so earnest, that you just knew it was true.

Apple, for better or for worse, makes products based on what its executives personally want to use. That's not the only consideration, but it's unusually salient compared to other companies.

My guess is that Apple works to limit ad tracking because its executives personally do not want to be tracked.

You're also confusing money with value. If we only go by market price, air pollution should be fine, since lots more people buy electrical power than die from coal plant particulates. But market price only captures a relatively narrow slice of value, and it's heavily biased in favor of people with money.

Constant-time arithmetic is realistic in most normal situations, like evaluating the performance of a hash table implementation. Perhaps your implementation uses 32 bits for the hash function, and can only scale to 4 billion slots. Maybe your implementation of a vector has the same limitation. In general, the reason you'll have trouble trying to store 2^trillion items is not because you chose a data structure with worse asymptotic performance than you expected, it's because you run out of space in the universe in which to store them.

So saying such a structure has O(1) asymptotic access time is not perfectly true in a mathematical sense, for unrealistic numbers. But it's certainly realistic.
I ran the test. What I did was run `tcpdump -i wlan0 -w /tmp/pcap` on my phone as root. I deliberately waited searching your username in the Keybase app until after starting the packet capture, so it couldn't have fetched your keys already. I also didn't add anyone else for at least a few weeks. After starting the capture, I searched your username, hit connect, and stopped the capture only once it was done connecting and it proudly claimed that this chat is end to end encrypted (this took a few seconds).

I looked at two things: DNS results in case there is a quick win (like a lookup for Twitter) using `tshark -e dns.qry.name -Tfields -r /tmp/pcap | sort -u`, and when there was no Twitter lookup to be found, I looked into IP traffic using `tshark -r /tmp/pcap -e ip.dst -e ip.src -Tfields | tr \\t \\n | sort -u`.

None of the IP addresses belong to Twitter in terms of reverse lookup or whois info. Since api.twitter.com (like *.twitter.com, as far as I can find) is hosted in its own IP range, that pretty much concludes the test already, but I dug into each IP address just in case they use some endpoint I don't know about.

The only IP which it talked to in the right time window and I couldn't attribute to a particular app was 52.216.100.45, which (SNI tells me) is AWS S3. Does Twitter uses AWS S3 and does Keybase connect to that directly without going through api.twitter.com? Seems strange.

The other IP addresses my phone talked to in the right time window are either pre-established connections (it would have to keep a permanent connection open to Twitter, and since I didn't add anyone for a while, that would mean it keeps a connection to Twitter open whenever I open the app... I would say we can rule that out) or attributable to other apps like Spotify (I am indeed playing music).

TL;DR it doesn't seem to check your Twitter proof.

It's pretty disappointing. The Vietnamese communist party defends the Doi Moi reforms as using capitalism controlled by the people's state as a phase to increase production in the economy. This is something understandable as socialism can't be built on an insufficient industrial base and capitalism provides individual incentives to jump start it and a door for foreign investment from capitalist countries. However, other leftists critique this as revisionist and a failure of existing Marxist-Leninist models* which do not appear to incorporate true worker control of the economy.

Once you introduce capitalism without proper checks on the bureaucracy, it takes on a life of its own as the newly created capitalist class begins to advocate for itself at the expense of the people and the bureaucrats begin to see themselves as the rightful heirs of private wealth. This is one analysis I read of what happened in China.

I'm not sure who to believe, but introducing elements of capitalism is on its face a dangerous move for the Vietnamese revolution. Honestly, I'm shocked that they've let it go so far they have a billionaire. I hope they have things actually under control because they fought and bled for decades to eject imperial influences from France and America and to ensure the people control their own fate.

I'm sure a politically active Vietnamese person would have a different take than me (and certainly a multitude of takes), given they understand their circumstances better than a dabbler foreigner like myself.

* I say existing because the Soviet Union briefly attained this, but the leadership shut down the workers councils (which many saw as a betrayal). So this idea isn't necessarily inimical to Marxism-Leninism, but in practice only a sparse number of examples have been realized.
> If I pay someone using lightning then that payment is as good as good.

Lightning is an I.O.U. that is not good until you settle on Bitcoin. If you are not using Bitcoin to settle transactions, then you there is zero guarantee of getting paid. Stop spreading these lies about the Lightning network.

Trading I.O.U.s on an obscure network is not a payment solution outside of sending money between your friends. For businesses and other untrusted parties, they will settle immediately on Bitcoin which is why Lightning is not being used seriously today. The same way businesses don't trade in third party checks today.

The money is spent either way, whether it's tax dollars in a "free college" system or tuition dollars in the system we have or anything in between. Every dollar spent on college is a dollar that didn't get spent on some other service.

Meanwhile, if university education really is mostly a vacation for wealthy young adults, then funding it is regressive, because no matter how directly accessible you make it financially, it's still tilted towards the wealthy because they have the means to forego 4 years of income to attend, and because they're better prepared to apply and take advantage of it in the first place.
Not everyone grew up in an as money-centered society as the US. A middle class Swedish lifestyle is plentiful and way beyond the reach of most people in most countries, including most Europeans.

When the landlord spends the funds, he is not spending equivalent to a third-party IOU.

Suppose you and your landlord share the A-B channel. When he wishes to spend the rent money he pays you back in the A-B channel in return for your paying the same amount in another channel to party C (who is likely a node).

For the record, this process is trustless in the sense of the word that no trust is required. Nobody can wander off with anyone's funds.

When party C (or party D, E, F, whoever receives it) actually gets the money he doesn't have to care about the state of things in in the original A-B channel. His money came from the other party is his channel and that's the only transaction he needs to watch. It's not like a third party IOU at all. And, of course because the Bitcoin network can enforce ownership, calling lightning an IOU does not really do it justice.
