> A single outage at the wrong moment is enough to create enough of a reason for customers to lose all trust and immediately leave

I really wonder how bad the impact will actually be, since I would think the set of people losing trust and leaving because of this to be very close to that of people who would lose trust and leave because of RH making hundreds of millions from selling their trade data to HFT companies (hmm, why would the data be that valuable? What do the buyers of the data have to gain?).
I think a good start would be if average people were confident that they would take part in the long-term prosperity. Right now, that doesn't seem like such a good bet.

Its just basically impossible to get a consumer grade nat without an inbuilt stateful firewall.

He's correct that the NAT doesn't stop the connection, but the stateful firewall is another service on the same device so you will never really notice the difference

With the theoretical situation of a NAT without a firewall a connection is technically possible, as long as you are able to inspect any previously sent TCP packets and use the sender bits to route your new packets
We will not learn from this. The Fed knows they HAVE to keep the market going for 3 reasons: 1) big institutions pressure them to 2) They must keep pensions from tanking, or we have severe issues with retirement rate 3) Most importantly, it is easier to print money forever than to actually create jobs and real growth

Edit: on #2, it is 'cheaper' to print money to prop pensions up than to have millions of retirees eating dog food
Yes, I'm very well aware that this has been a thing since, like, forever.

A fine example was in the 2000 South Carolina primary when Karl Rove working for Bush, distributed door-to-door flyers just ahead of the primary that implied that John McCain had an illegitimate black baby from an affair. McCain had actually adopted a child from Bangladesh. McCain lost the primary.

Similarly with the HRC issue. It is one thing to have it in the news - or not, quite another to specifically harvest by 280 point tested psychological profiles the people who will be most receptive to changing their behavior by that argument, then silently targeting them in personalized advert campaigns that cannot even be discovered (FB doesn't make public the ads & targeting).

This is about scalability - just like speeding tickets have been a think since, like, forever, but the cops have to be there, or at least post a camera. This is more like if they started handing out tickets via tracking GPS, for every second you exceed the limit.

Same law/situation, scalable technology, entirely different implications.
> the more frequently used words (and phrases) tend to be proportionally shorter

It's interesting to think about how things can be swapped dynamically in this system. Consider the evolution of 'telephone.' In the 1980's, 'phone' referred to a land-line telephone. In the 2000's, it was ambiguous; for young people, it meant 'cell phone' most likely, or we started calling them 'house phones' for land lines. Now 'phone' is mostly used for a 'smart cellular telephone'.

Another interesting example is "Playstation". That always refers to the current generation, and we retroactively apply "PS1."

It will be an interesting period for history in the future to try and decode our present-day meanings since so many words are period specific.
It's pretty silly when you think about it. There's an underlying assumptions that you'll work with the data in the original format that you used to make the PDF.
There's no question that quarantines prevent the spread of disease: there is plenty of question as to whether the disease justifies it; including in the cases of SARS and MERS.

For example: most new flus come out of China due to their agricultural practices; building a wall around China until they change the practices and isolating people in the rest of the world population who get it would actually remove the flu from the human experience. I believe flu killed 60,000 people in America last year. Are we ready to do that? Should only take a couple of years!
> Unfortunately that mindset is bleeding into our governing system. Make the short-term numbers look good at the expense of long term prosperity.

Sure. But most other places (unsure about Apple) don't automatically ship those logs off to the maker of the OS for centralised bulk collection, analysis, and monetisation.
this is a good point. there is something deeply disturbing when the Fed manipulates on a scale that controls the pricing of the entire stock market
I'm actually surprised that PDF hasn't been superseded by some form of embedded HTML by now.
Brevity is a particularly false saving here if you factor in the time it takes to lookup documentation on something you don't use just often enough to have its command line options sit in your brains L1 cache.

But nobody gave them the money! Take eg Bezos - Amazon is textbook example of wealth creation, in the economic sense (lowered the prices, thus people could afford more). His wealth is not "given", it's created! How do you control the distribution of that wealth, other than tax, in a way that doesn't destroy the very mechanism that made it possible?

(honest question, it feels like you have an answer; I just don't see it)
That's a bit of a different scenario then I was thinking.

In your case, you're defining a domain entity, and a function which interacts on it.

Domain entities should definitely be modeled as maps, I agree there, and probably have an accompanying spec.

That said, still, I feel the function should make it clear what subset of the entity it actually needs to operate over. That can be a doc-string, though ideally I'd prefer it is either destructuring and not using the `:as` directive, or it is exposing a function spec with an input that specifies the exact keys it's using.

Also, I wouldn't want this function to pass down the entity further. Like if study needs keys a,b but it then calls pass-exam which also needs c and d. This gets confusing fast, and hard to refactor. Because now the scope of study grows ever larger, and you can't easily tell if it needs a student with key/value c and d to be present or not.

But still, I feel since it's called "study", it feels like a side-effecting function. And I don't like those operating over domain entities. So I personally would probably use positional args or named parameters and wouldn't actually take the entity as input. So if study needs a student-id and an age, I'd just have it take that as input.

For non side-effecting fns, I'd have them take the entity and return a modified entity.

That's just my personal preference. I like to limit entity coupling. So things that don't strictly transform an entity and nothing else I generally don't have them take the entity as input, but instead specify what values they need to do whatever else they are doing. This means when I modify the entity, I have very little code to refactor, since almost nothing depends on the shape and structure of the entity.

Because generally, if a disease spreads rapidly it means that the fatality rate is low. Because if it wasn't, the disease wouldn't spread rapidly. I don't think there's anything to do about it. Sooner or later the virus will spread and infect all parts of the world just like the flu.

This reply means absolutely nothing, except to drum up alarm.
The way I understand it: Dedicated video players can build around hardware acceleration. They display a video and UI they control. Web browsers have to show other people's UIs, which can be dynamically resized, overlaid and otherwise modified.

This makes it really hard to implement in current browser architectures without resorting to a solution that causes you to e.g. have to copy video frames from GPU memory to main memory, causing performance drops and stutter. With Wayland, it's "easier" to actually access the GPU's video frames directly (like on Windows and macOS), enabling this implementation.
Small towns. Can US quarantine entire Bay Area, or entire Santa Clara county? Maybe, but the cost to economy would be huge..
Partly, the emphasis on extreme short term gains, in turn accentuated by short term trading (options) and HFTs disincentivizes any management actions that try to optimize for the long term.

The CEO will be under tremendous pressure if he/she tries to optimize for a 1 year timeframe (for example) as opposed to quarter-by-quarter. I wish boards can come up with a compensation structure for execs which optimizes for long term.
I haven't read it as anti-stock :)

In theory the market should/will optimize, maximizing opportunities, which in turn basically turns everything into the same risk-weighted-yield-wise. (After all, if there's enough information, depth, participants, liquidity, low transaction costs, then people will go after whatever market niche they may find.)

So, yes, there's a limit of how much money should be in stocks, but my belief/theory is that the investing market is very good at figuring this out (in the grand scheme of things).
>the key issue when compared to Epyc is that this is mono-die,

This die cost metrics is way overblown and its narrative is too narrowly focused. Especially on ARM Server where unit cost dynamics with ARM IP along with much higher margin on server CPU lower the multi die BOM benefits. And the same definitely does not apply to Graviton, which Amazon owns the whole stack.
The sane way to do this would be to let everyone take a slight hit.

Some money has already been spent, so full refunds aren't possible nor are they reasonable -- doing so would leave the organizers in the lurch and torpedo any hopes of a future event when this all blows over. But keeping all the money for a non-event wouldn't be right either.

There should be an equitable way to figure out what percentage of the money can be refunded without anyone going bankrupt in the process.

The government's role could be to vet that math and declare that it's OK and if attendees get whatever percentage refund, they're done and have no further recourse. Cuz otherwise a cranky con-goer will suck the place dry with legal fees.
Software engineers are uniquely qualified to analyze supply chains and supply chain problems.

You’re going to have to qualify that. I’ve been doing this shit for thirty years, including writing logistics and other supply chain software. Do not prioritize my opinion just because I write software; prioritize the opinions of, oh I don’t know, maybe COOs? The buyer for electronic parts at my employer? Anyone, anyone but software engineers so arrogant that they think they have an opinion worthy of listening simply because... hell, I can’t even guess why a software engineer would think that.

I share your experience with books. The books from Daniel Tiger (3 minute stories and 5 minute stories) worked great for us. Also a series of "5 minute (theme) tales" we always find for $5 at Ross worked great too.

In my home country there are comic books for young kids (Turma da Mônica) and my 3y10m loves them. The ratio between text and drawings is amazing, because it's a comic book. I don't know which ones would be equivalent in English. I highly recommend you to try it.

I love writing. As I write a bit every day, it gets very easy to write, and to express my thoughts, or what's in my mind. One great benefit is that when I am emotional or tired it is not too difficult to write that down somewhere because I already have the habit, and it does get easier with practice. Afterwards when I'm at a better or more aware mood I come back to read what I had written, this helps to see what sort of things affect me in different states of mind. This has resulted in many revelations towards understanding myself and also others. It also produced some interesting creative results too.

A very important aspect that Parry and Murko uncovered is that _music_ was the thing that helped them memorize these incredibly long works. The guslari played a one string "gusle" (iirc) and recited the work along with a song.

Some of the guslari bards could not perform the recitation without their instrument.

And, fwiw, I recall that some assert that the guslari bards were all illiterate. It has been asserted (not by me) that literacy interferes with the guslari activity of memorizing and replaying enormous epics.

Check out Ted Goia "A Subversive History of Music" for an overview - but there is a lot of other scholarship on this.

That's just a race to the bottom, people will choose the cheaper seat / airline when they see the prices in a list. However, I think it would be different if they saw the leg room difference and amenities. Also, short flight flyers dominate the markets and they care less about being packed into a dirty shoebox with no amenities for two hours to pay $5 less on a ticket.
Wow, "user centered". It was a refreshing read. Something quite contrary to modern: it looks purty to me and if it is not functional the rest can go eff themselves.
> but applications are getting worse

So many people say this but I fundamentally disagree.

Applications are so much more complex today, supporting more combinations of OS and input method and data storage and accessibility and display modes and whatnot.

Applications are harder to use, yes, but because they do so much more. Your interface has to work and be responsive whether your file sits on a local disk or in the cloud, or maybe has to be synced. It needs to work with mouse and touch and a screenreader. And so on ad finitum.

Relative to their complexity, applications are doing just fine today I think. (Also don't forget there were so many terribly designed applications in the 90's. It's not like everybody was even remotely following established UX guidelines.)

The same kind of clear UX standards just don't exist anymore because there are so many different apps that do so many different things, and there's no obvious best answer.

But the good news is that applications do slowly converge on best practices. Think of how things like hamburger menus or swipe-to-refresh or pinch-to-zoom have become expected standards.
Born and raised in HK but don't live/work there, and obviously I can't speak for everyone, but we get brought up in a pretty top-down authoritarian system, with parents/teachers being very stern and unforgiving, so we end up using our smarts to cheat the system at any given opportunity. Autonomy isn't really ingrained into us. Working in the west, I feel that there is more assumed trust and less micromanagement.

Oh interesting, I've heard that repeated so many times by so many different people in different places in business including the worry that they might be going against their fiduciary responsibility to the company I kind of just took it as fact. Thanks!

I still think that baking the non financial responsibilities into the founding legal documents would go a long way towards preventing those goals from being eroded after the initial founders move on even more so after what you shared as people clearly make the personal decision to prioritize shareholder value above all else then, which is somewhat more disheartening.
> +0 tonnes is not equivalent to -1 tonne of C02 emission, because maths.

Right, but we're talking about -1 tonne (reducing emissions) vs -1 tonne (taking carbon out of the atmosphere) and last I checked, -1 tonne is equivalent to -1 tonne.

> Reducing current C02 levels is more difficult and expensive than just reducing C02 output, and has a greater impact on overall reduction

It makes sense to me that it's easier/cheaper to reduce C02 output (at least as long as there is lots of low-hanging fruit), but it doesn't make sense to me that one would have a greater impact than the other.

Home ownership has created wealth for two independent reasons:

1. In many markets in the US housing has been a good investment (for a bunch of reasons too long to discuss here).

2. Owning a home with a mortgage on it forces the owner to "put money in savings" each month as they pay down principal on the loan.

The rent v. own discussion is a complex financial decision. If you buy a house with 20% down you're using 5:1 leverage. Even in historically strong housing markets if you put the same amount of principal into a 5:1 levered SP500 you'd have made much more money buying stocks than you would that home. So if your rent = interest + maintenance and you could afford to invest the same in principal in equities you'd do much better. Now I don't know any investment advisor who would tell a client (and I'm not one at all so take my advice for what it is -- the thoughts of a business person) to go all in on a 5x leveraged equity portfolio.
Totally agreed on different strokes. If speed matters most, there's nothing like a market order.

I'm rarely using limit orders to shave pennies if I want quick execution. I use them to prevent the unexpected. Under normal market conditions, if the limit is set 10% beyond the expected clearing price, it provides me with free protection against a completely unexpected surprise. Something will have to have gone very wrong with my investment strategies if I'm desperate to buy/sell at any price.

In the long-game case, if I purchase a stock at $0.95 that I think can sell for $0.99, I'll immediately place the limit-order for sale as soon as I've made the purchase. No need to hide my hand -- I'll be happy if you want to buy it at that price (and I might get faster execution by being earlier in the order queue).
