This is what a speculative bubble looks like. Enjoy popcorn on the sidelines until people start pricing in financial reality. Manias sometimes take a while to fizzle out. Year over year revenue growth is actually flat to slightly negative for the past 2 quarters. If top-line revenue growth continues to stall out, that's often a catalyst for corrections.
at higher and higher incomes, it makes more and more sense to try and deduct income via investment costs (such as interest on borrowing). So your optimized effective tax rate would be a lot lower.
>This comes with costs like running higher than you can actually charge for so you don't get outages, employing a lot of people for emergency response and storms, etc.

That's an interesting point. During/after the worst of the recent California drought years, some water companies had to raise their rates because people were so good at saving water. Because so many of the utility company's expenses are fixed costs, their savings from not distributing as much water weren't proportional with their reduction in revenue.

I tried Dino for a bit but returned to gajim straight away. Apparently Dino auto-accepts all omemo keys by default and while there is a way to globally disable it all of your current contacts will keep it on by default and I really did not feel like going through every single contact that I have and disabling it (as well as the keys that it accepted in the way).

It is actually a good idea to use https rather than your own protocol because then your network provider/government will not be able to (easily) find out that you aren't just making https requests using your browser. Useful for people living in oppressive governments as well as employees/students under restrictive firewalls. In addition to that this will get more efficient once we have http over quic.

I can see a future for pytonic interface to pandas. It would run pandas in the backend but would be just as easy as manipulating list, dicts, sets and tuples...we'd have a 5th type - tables.
These don't exclude each other, you can do both if you wanted.

I always wonder what unintended consequences measures like this will have. (I am not opposed to it)

I remember a long time ago Montana fought the 55 mph (and later higher ones) imposed by federal pressure. Their laws favored "reasonable and prudent" over absolute limits. (How wonderful to choose personal responsibility)

Then out-of-state drivers from car clubs started driving to Montana and doing high-speed drives across the state.

Maybe that was why Montana enacted actual limits and fines later on.

> The clever thing in MIDI is that a device which sends messages over MIDI to another device drives current pulses (not voltage). These current pulses activate an octo-coupling device in the receiver such as a phototransistor. There is no galvanic connection between the devices; they don't share any ground or anything.

I don’t understand why this matters at all. The engineers who made 1.0 had different sets of constraints that we no longer have.

Now days we shove gigabits a second over cheap twisted pair wire. MIDI could do a lot more on modern or even decade old hardware...
It's not that it's a private thing, it's that it's yours to control.

There aren't technical limitations to the use (just as there aren't technical limitations to copying and freely distributing all digital media), so we either institute legal limitations or accept that it's allowed. There are many negative aspects of allowing it, so we should probably make sure we take the time to look at the repercussions of both stances carefully (that is, more carefully than "I don't have a problem therefore allow it").
I wholeheartedly agree. In some ways, iOS and its spinoff iPadOS are the complete opposite of the vision that Apple pursued in the 1990s (before Steve Jobs' return) of scriptable, composable software through AppleScript and OpenDoc, which themselves were influenced by the everything-is-an-object world of Smalltalk. Sadly AppleScript isn't supported by all Mac applications and it seems to be rather deemphasized these days, and OpenDoc was killed in its infancy upon Steve Jobs' return.

The iPhone and iPad are fine platforms; I use them regularly for my work. However, they are a far cry from Alan Kay's Dynabook idea. A better base for developing on the Dynabook idea would be the Microsoft Surface line of tablets, which can run the full versions of Windows 10 Home or Pro and thus can run modern Smalltalk implementations such as Squeak or Pharo.

I wish there were more work done in the area of composable GUIs, where the core logic of applications is scriptable and where these elements can be combined in ways that could be even more expressive than Unix pipes are. Every now and then I have thoughts about taking a modern Smalltalk implementation and writing a suite of composable GUI apps as a demonstration of this idea.

This topic always takes me back to a Hacker News comment I read many years ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13573373) about composable software versus monolithic applications and how commercial software companies are predisposed to support the latter while the free software movement should have focused on the former. I still don't think it's too late, however, as long as there are some vendors selling hardware that users can install their own software on without needing to use a certified app store.

This is wrong. The people at Renaissance have a lot of their money invested in the other two funds. This is one of the main reasons they built the other two funds; they needed a way of managing money that didn't fit in Medallion.

Simons, for example, has a ~$21B fortune, and I doubt he gets more than 1/3rd of Medallion's $10B capacity. He's probably got more money in RIEF than in Medallion.

On the contrary, the iPad Pro with Apple Smart Keyboard is spectacular for typing all the things — anywhere you happen to be. Takes up half the depth of a laptop, or braces firmly on your lap. In fact, given the way it’s balanced, only takes about 2” of table ledge, the keyboard can hang in the air and still firm enough to type on.

It places writing first, whether with pencil or keyboard, no laptop does both as well.

I really hope the background compatibility is idiot-proof. Because it's really been great. My Roland EP-9 from the mid-90s is easily the oldest device I have that I can connect to my iPad and have it just work with modern software. (Granted, a dongle or two is involved...)

And it's worked with every computer I've cared to connect it to in years prior.

That strikes me as a sign of a standard well-done.

To respond just to this part: I don't think either of these things are true. With "past" you can look around the front page in 2007-8. I just did - not very different at all from today. Not many pg essays around - none on most days on the front page. The titles are a lot longer today, seems the main difference!
imo the mushroom feels far more like a psychadelic drug and lsd is more like a very very strong high. I get visuals with both, but only on mushrooms have these fractal 'breathing' visual patterns morphed into faces and symbols. LSD feels like a fog or a filter over everything; the visual effect is pretty much the same fractals and breathing no matter the object or surface I'm looking at.

The lengths of effect are different. For LSD it takes about 20 minutes to start feeling the effects, and not much longer after that you will be peaking for 2 hours. After that you will feel quite high for 4 hours and the visuals will begin to ease, and for the next couple hours you will just feel mildly stoned. It's nice to smoke weed while tripping too, makes the come down feel smoother. It feels like more of a recreational drug, in that as long as you can keep from making yourself laugh or acting too weird you would appear perfectly normal and functional in public. Frequently I would trip with friends at public events. You can also drink quite a bit while on LSD and not feel very drunk.

Mushrooms take about the same time to kick in, sometimes longer though. They last about 4 hours and the effects wear off much faster, although like I mentioned earlier, the trip seems to have more symbolism in the visual effects. Sometimes I end up burping a lot from the mushrooms and get an uncomfortable stomach cramp, but in these cases it's advisable to start smoking weed and stymie any nausea in the process. I wouldn't use mushrooms as recreationally as I do LSD. Preferred setting is among a close group of friends in a private home or near nature for me.

I've never taken more than two tabs (200mg) of LSD or 1/8oz of dry mushrooms, so I'm not sure about the effects with larger doses, although I've tripped probably 30 times so far. One way to ensure you have actual LSD is to swallow the blotter paper immediately. Other synthetic psychadelics won't yield an effect unless you hold the tab in your mouth and allow it to dissolve in your saliva. I'm sure others will chime in with their take, everyone reacts differently.
The "sucker funds" would have had to be among the largest in the industry, with lots of external investors to provide the capital. You really think something like that would remain completely secret?

Rosenbrock Function
so I have two main objections here. the first is that tax breaks for homeowners tend to benefit the middle class at the expense of those who are just below the threshold to qualify for a mortgage. unless you just give them the money or have the government guarantee their debt, this is going to be a problem. if your idea works really well and housing prices drop a lot, this could be a pretty small group, but it's still worth thinking about imo.

my second (and very self-interested) reason, is that I don't want to be propelled towards home ownership. if I really wanted to I could buy a home now (and probably break even; I live in a low price-to-rent area), but I like renting. I'm quite happy in a 700 sq ft apartment, and I don't want the work that comes with a larger dwelling. I'm not exactly hurting for money, but I just don't see a compelling reason why the alternate version of me who bought a house deserves a tax break. I'm not sure I'm convinced by your argument that this policy would also lower my rent, but I'm not an economist so I can't really say.

> At the same time there is a basic philosophy I espouse that all people have a right to a home and a piece of land, and unless absolutely necessary to society, they should not be renting from the government.

just wanted to say I can certainly respect this, but I have a very different philosophy. land, especially in cities, is one of the only truly scarce things in the world, and its value depends almost entirely on what other people are doing near you. in our era of prosperity, I can agree that people should be entitled to a place to live, but I don't believe they should get to control a specific plot indefinitely.

How would you even do it, as a nobody with no connections? You have two accounts and your broker isn't linking them up for you.

Making a sham trade at an arbitrary price with yourself is not what I was describing. My idea was the calls and the puts are as close to at the money as possible, and the counterparties are just random people with no pre-arrangement.

If you're going to simply do fraud, then the constraints don't seem interesting to me.

> yet the API is all over the place

Agreed. In particular one might have hoped that 1.0 would fix indexing. .ix (deprecated), .loc, .iloc and "[" is an example of what people mean by saying the API is (a) a mess and (b) "deeply unpythonic". Shouldn't "[" be removed entirely if .loc and .iloc are recommended, given the odd and unpredictable edge cases with "["?

> unless you use it regularly for a long period of time, it is almost impossible to get fluent with it.

Agreed.

I know a huge amount of valiant, voluntary, open source work has gone into it, but it is a shame that the primary data-frame library in the Python ecosystem lacks a clean, pythonic API. Having been negative I don't want to obscure the fact that it does have some great and powerful code behind its API.

It's sad that we don't have a very good self hosted chat solution.

Last time I checked around, XMPP didn't have a client that I could recommend to business clients that looked easy/simple to use, has no gotchas and looks native.

Currently I use Mattermost, which does basic things fine and things are stable but the formatting is just getting in the way making texts unnecessary big and bold when people never intend to (there is a per user setting to disable formatting but I can't tell everyone to turn it off), and reply and quoting interface is just wrong and I never use it, so most of the other people use another vendor service which is easy and does things in a saner way.

And video/voice is apparently not in their integrated goal and is thrown to some external paid service, so pretty much only simple text and file uploads.

I'm not looking for anything too special in my opinion but I find it there's no self hosted solution that has,

- Simple interface so I don't have to lecture people 10 minutes on how to use it.

- WYSIWYG formatting instead of automatically parsing symbols into bold texts etc

- File uploads

- Decent reply/quote feature

- Multiple people voice call

- Optionally multiple people video calls

- Native clients for desktop and clients and web Interface
I should have mentioned above, but I want to use pihole as well so ideally I’d route almost all my traffic through my home vpn.
Kotlin Census 2019
From what I see, anytime you have separate iOS and Android apps, they will rapidly diverge on features and UX to the point where it feels like different programs working with the same data set.

RN lets you have 1 team working on the same app, so the features are the same.

In theory, you could enforce that all features must be present in all apps, but in practice it never seems to happen.
