>I think it was Inventing on Principle that got HN all wet in their knickers. Literally nothing of any practical value has come of it. (...) EDIT: For the downvoters (not that I care): Name a single thing that came of it. Seriously.

Swift Playgrounds is obviously inspired by it, parts of which later made it into XCode proper [1]. Criss Lattner: "Playgrounds were heavily influenced by Bret Victor's ideas, by Light Table and by many other interactive systems."

Now, I guess, to not admit defeat (which was previously premised on nothing of any practical value having come out of Inventing on Pricinple) your next step would be to belittle Swift Playgrounds as having no practical value.

Not to mention that "what came of it" is hardly the best criterium to judge an idea.

For one, our industry is not exactly the best at adopting things, or being driven by ideas and innovation. Corporate wise it's mostly about selling snake oil, reinventing BS and making 3Ghz/32GB computers feel slower than Pentiums with bloat...

Second, because inspiration can take many forms, aside from direct implementation of the original idea. E.g. while Lighttable and Swift Playgrounds/XCode Playgrounds are based heavily on the program shown in the presentation, the presentation has wider ideas that go beyond the exact program shown (which is just an example to make the point).

As such, it has already inspired many UI designers, and many UI choices, and many have admitted so - even if they don't make the same kind of programming environment.

>They failed. These ideas are not workable, sadly. (I really want a world where they are, but they aren't.)

Your comments don't make it like one who cares either way, they're mostly about putting down the "idea man" (how does one dare have ideas, and even worse non-practical ones? The gal! We should all be working on practical things, like the nth CRUD apps, some Electron UI, a Go/Rust rewrite of some backend service, etc).

Water supply is a natural monopoly which is pretty different straight away. The externalities are really nasty (say you extract water under your property, the water doesn't care about property lines so water will flow from other land and potentially cause subsidence, a big cost to somebody else) and water is actually part of a global cycle so while one person can get away with just taking their water from a well and dumping effluent into the lake if a million people do that a bunch of them are going to die.

And as a result of all this it's heavily regulated unlike printer ink.
Interesting opinion.

That's great for urban campuses. But what about suburban and rural ones?

Also: Great, you've got the students covered. What about the faculty and staff? They just have to pay "market rate" for the privilege of parking at their own damn jobs?

(Full disclosure: I work on a rural college campus, where there are chronic problems with parking, and an administration that cares far more about the campus being beautiful than about whether its staff can park within 20 minutes' walk of their job.)
I guarantee you this has already been invented many times over by intelligence agencies around the world.
I think there’s a bigger issue with passive inversing. Once an equity is in a cap weighted index like the S&P 500 with a high weighting, like Apple, can’t we end up in a situation where the individual company performance is irrelevant? Nobody will sell Apple because they just own it through their SP500 fund. As long as they are buying and holding the index fund, Apple remains at a high valuation. The only thing that differentiates individual stocks is active investors. And as they make up a smaller and smaller fraction of over investment, they become less relevant.

Ask HN: I've spent the better part of a year writing a market making crypto bot
And now I am essentially out of funds to get it running with which is extremely frustrating to say the least.

Basically when I started working on it a year ago, I had significant personal wealth in the form of various crypto currencies I had mined around 2010/2011.

I was dabbling around with perpetual contract trading on bitmex and ultimately losing my shirt due to human emotion.

I kept seeing profitable exit points regularly but held onto them longer than I should have for example.

Fool me once...

So I got to work on an algorithmic trading bot...

Re-wrote it what seems like 50 times so far over the past year...

And I am finally ready to let it loose on some live markets! Which is amazing! I am extremely happy with my work!

It's traded over $1m USD worth of contracts on the testnet bitmex platform over the past 24 hours with no errors and no liquidations and has the ability to absorb an extremely large market movement in an extremely short period of time without liquidating.

The only problem is that it needs about $10,000 or 1 BTC to really do it's best work... and I don't have that available to me anymore.

I have about $4,000 worth of crypto left in stable coins, and I could probably sell my car for about $3000 but I need it to get around.

I could ask my friends who actually have a few BTC left kicking around but I've always been told it's never wise to mix money and friendship.

There are platforms out there that allow you to sell "alphas"... essentially working algorithms... to richer buyers who can afford to use them... but I don't trust those platforms not to steal my code and pay me nothing for it.

What would you do in this situation?

Thanks for reading.

The goal is not necessarily to eliminate that choice, but to stop it falling disproportionately to women. By that measure, Sweden's high female labour participation suggests that it's policies are a roaring success.
I guess inflation and interest rates play a non-negligible role there.

This just isn't practical though. Apple/Google/Amazon/etc would have to be broken up for example.

Hedging shouldn't be illegal though. Let me buy both cows and chickens -- even though I don't know which people will want to eat later.

No because that is essential for hedging, and hedging is good.
It's definitely not hard to get eyes on an article, but you're probably underestimating the amount of views that Medium brings. It has excellent discovery, and based on anecdata from friends who have tried A/B testing this stuff, 90%+ easily come from Medium, especially in the 100,000+ view-range, unless you're intentionally going out of your way to spam the link to your personal site everywhere.

Also, a substantial amount of views come from search engine traffic with almost every bit of content on the internet, unless you're doing it wrong. Your most recent post is full of frequently-searched terms. It seems unlikely that little of it is coming from search engines, and almost impossible that most of that viewership is coming from something other than Medium's discovery.

Maybe try A/B testing with your next article? I think we'd all be interested in that.
The flip side is that top talent won’t want to put up with the BS so a lot of these companies end up shooting themselves in the foot to save a few bucks on recruiting.
It depends on what you are trying to do.

Most of these benchmarks are not done to predict performance in a target machine, but to find out which is faster.
Why is remembering materials from your undergrad degree the meter of "how smart am I?" What a strangely arbitrary scale.

> Do you ever feel “slow”?

Very often. I wake up, and feel as if I haven't slept at all. During those times, my memory literally fails me. The other day, I couldn't remember the term "thin provisioning," about which I was drilling a current coworker a few months ago at an interview. So though the concept is trivial to me, I just couldn't find the words to describe it.

And yet, even in that state, I sit down, and code, debug issues, write code... I still get my shit done. I spend less time in the kitchen talking to coworkers, though.

A better question is, why do you feel you shouldn't feel "slow"? What should make you feel "fast" that you've acquired during your couple years of studying?
We should link to each other's sites and form a sort of web ring.

Zettelkasten has to be the least explained concept I've discovered online. Sure, they'll explain the _technique_ of it, but I've almost never seen any solid examples of it in _use_. I was so excited when I first heard of it, but I'm a person that learns by seeing examples and I couldn't find any good ones anywhere.

Does anyone have any good examples they've seen?
The compressed Go program gets only 2.3% smaller post-gzip (13 bytes) if you remove the definition of the board: b=[[' ']*19 for x in range(19)]

I am guessing that previously they did not take the testing nearly as seriously.
There’s actually a Chrome plugin you can use to blacklist certain domains from search results!

One thing Medium isnt getting credit for, that at its time was a breath of fresh air, was limiting formatting options. Similar to Facebook vs Livejournal/xanga/myspace, Medium took away almost all your formatting options, except the basics, and made it easy to insert media. Articles always looked good, and consistent, and you had simple metrics to gauge performance.

IMHO, the product pretty much when downhill as soon as they started nagging readers. The entire benefit to a reader was simplicity, cleanness, and a lack of distractions. Now it pushes the app and login so aggressively, people feel like giving up and pressing back. Wordpress could do what medium did, but Wordpress was focused on freedom of design, not a standardized reading mode. Also the medium editor is basically the same interface as reading mode.

If you want a rough equivalent of the early medium experience, minus the metrics, see https://telegra.ph/
If you recall, this situation happen before with Barack Obama as president. Eventually he dropped it because something new and more important will come up a sure as sunrise. It seems to be bipartisan if you ask me. It boils down to do the ends justify the means and that doesn’t split among party lines.

I'm not surprised by this ridiculous and bold move by Spectrum. Where I live they have monopoly and my bill is going up 100% every year. I'm not kidding. Upon inquiry, they lie that you had limited contract with Brighthouse signed and now the promotion is over so they can be rising it up. The only way to stop that is to kill your cable for at least 90 days, then apply for the new one with their current discounts that supposedly doesn't expire. If you think I'm singled out, there has been lots of upset about how Spectrum conducts itself but without class-action lawsuit, nothing will happen.

Great point about using JMH. As of JDK 12, it’s included in the SDK: https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/230

If you want to deliver lots of packages without violating traffic laws, then rapid acceleration seems like obvious low-hanging fruit. If the vehicle is quiet and nobody's in the way, then what is the problem?
Jailing someone for refusing to reveal a secret doesn't cause that secret to be revealed.

What is the problem they're trying to solve? They claim to want a "reveal secrets" button, but for any determined person or for any secret of consequence, the button won't work.

Yes, jails will fill up, war-on-drugs style, but my argument is that filling up jails isn't a good goal given what they claim they wait. So my only conclusion is that they're either lying about what they want, or they're idiots. Both seem plausible.

Solutions to complex problems are rarely simple or obvious.
I absolutely agree. If you could only invest in one tech company, who would have invested in Apple/Amazon/Google instead of IBM? These are now large, successful companies that were able to succeed because investors were able to hedge and invest in an entire sector.
Sponsoring races might work, semi-major ones who have a magazine and you can suggest it to, but that's going to cost (I've no idea on your funding, and don't need to know).

The freeone would be an adverotial type approach in something like Runner's World. They're always desperate for content, so delivering it on a plate (happy for my example to be used) they would probably like. Always free to ask.

Then there is the manual option - hitting all the facebook groups that exist, and the twitter, sugges0ting for all races (likely half and full marathons). You are probably too late for Houson Marathon tomorrow, but that's a good one where people will be in the same position.

Ultimately you are relying on word of mouth, but it's how you get that initial buzz!
I literally just did a search for "Westinghouse radio hub" and other variations and this post was the first thing that came up, the rest was all about 1940s Westinghouse electric tubes and things like that. Westinghouse effectivly went out of business effectively in 1995 as they were bought by CBS, when the Gopher protocol had more users than the WWW. This just sounds like such an outdated argument or example it does not make any sense. Sure, network connectivity has disadvantages but refusing all connected products because of oulier examples is extreme paranoia.
You kind of expect the environment, ecology etc. shape the signal evolution. The reasons behind the signal evolution in diversification is difficult to pin-point.

One interesting thing from paper: "We show that origins of acoustic communication are significantly associated with nocturnal activity."

> Acoustic communication also appears to have been secondarily lost in several mammals and frogs (but not in birds)

For birds, they have their fitness closed tied to vocal communication.

We're studying song birds and perception of songs. It's really interesting how sensitive the perception of song is. Even slight change in frequency or note can change the response of bird.
Medium does NOT require you to sign in. It asks you to, but you don't have to be signed in to read the posts. You can just close the prompt or click outside of it.

Source: I have never signed up for Medium and. I have been able to read in full any article I click on up until today.

As much as you may dislike it, I don't think you should spread misinformation when you could simply have investigated this first.

I'm guessing Medium is burning money fast and hasn't found a way to generate revenue which is why they have become so aggressive now. I'm guessing they still have a couple of years before they run out of cash but I doubt they will be able to raise another series of funding.

The subscription thing will not work because 1) there is no guarantee you will get good content from Medium and 2) people want to support content creators not faceless platforms (with questionable practices).

Of course content creators should be able to monetize their content but Medium is certainly not the way to achieve that.
Police platform patrols create ‘phantom effect’ that cuts crime in Tube stations
AAPL and similar stocks do show their share price changing in response to financial announcements, sales numbers, etc.

This concern is valid but I believe it only prevents price movement once a much larger majority of the market is passively managed.

> The extremely simple and correct solution here is to not let index funds themselves vote. Only allow the votes to be cast directly by the index share holders. Problem solved, I don't know why people keep hand wringing about this and not suggesting the supremely obvious solution here.

> No, company would have to split itself (create separated business entity) so you would have to sell your competing part of the company.

How about categories that aren't cut and dry? Lets say the tech company develops an AI tool that banks could apply to track delinquent accounts. And a bank develops a regular tool to do the same? Is this something that warrants splitting your business? Do both split or just one of them? which one?

How do you police this? What about small companies? What about international companies? What about public funds that hold a bunch of companies?

I'm sorry but while there is clearly a problem to be solved, what you proposed is definitely not the solution.

It looks like it doesn't preserve bold face in the titles. Does it use the default <h2> or <h3> format?

Does it support accented characters like á, ñ, ¿?

Does it support weird encoding? IIRC if you compile a LaTeX file without OT1 the fonts don't use the ascii number, but a numeration that is off by one. [I got a few weird documents, when a reset at the wrong time confused my printer.]

There are a near infinite number of things that we could pass laws against but don't because it isn't currently an issue. We pass the law when it becomes an issue.

Should we bother passing a law saying it is illegal to teleport across international borders, thus evading immigration checkpoints? Should we set tax rates for the sale and import of time machines? Or does it make sense to wait until either is remotely possible?
