> Monetary policy is about increasing or decreasing the money supply. The argument is that it cannot have long-term real effects because if it did we would all be incredibly rich

No, even if the acheivable aggregate real expansionary impact of monetary policy were unbounded (which no one argues it is) we wouldn't all be rich because monetary policy also has a distributional impact. But, more to the point, having bounded real impact isn't the same as zero real impact.

I have mixed feelings of sympathy about this whole RH thing.

Anyone who has used RH regularly should be well aware of how inept it is. Any spikes in volume or volatility, even on a single stock, bring it to it's knees pretty often. Like not just the last week, but even during calm periods. I've personally lost 20-30% on positions solely because RH was bugging out, thankfully I use RH just for "fun trades" usually <$100.

I cannot fathom having the balls to trade any real amount of money on the platform while being aware of these long term issues.

On the flipside I feel for new users and perhaps even generally inactive users who weren't aware of RH's incredible flakiness. I'd imagine (or hope to) the losses of most of those users were small, assuming they were new or casual and just testing the waters.

Even if one of my small plays hit it big on RH, the money would just go to my main account on TD (which has been smooth all week shy of a few hiccups Fri morning during record volume). It's been obvious for a long time that RH should not and cannot be trusted. If you're trading options with a $60K account on RH, well, I don't even have words for that level of ignorance.
I mean, that's my point. There's nothing to say it won't be very interesting. We just don't know yet.
Delta[0] applies syntax highlighting to the code sections of git and diff output, and uses background colors (instead of +/-) to indicate added / removed content. It's written in Rust, and uses the same syntax highlighting library as bat[1]. In fact, any bat configuration that you already have in place (environment variables, custom themes/language support) is automatically honored by delta. Delta also infers and highlights substrings that differ between lines (similar to Github, Gitlab and other diff viewers) and removes visual clutter from Git and diff output.

Yes, at the start of the film they’re folding pizza boxes as a kind of piecework and pleading with the person picking them up to let one of them have a job opening at one of the stores. They’re all unemployed.

Actually quite a bunch of 20 year or older Lisp software is developed in teams.

Cyc is developed by a team since the early 80s. Reduce since the mid 70s. The SBCL and CMUCL Lisp implementations come out of the early 80s. Maxima has its roots in the late 60s/early 70s. The commercial Lisp systems from Franz and LispWorks are developed since the mid/end 80s. ACL2 (a theorem prover used in the chip business) comes from the early 90s. ITA (now Google) started mid 90s. GNU Emacs is from the early 80s. Autocd/Autolisp comes from the early 80s. PTC's Lisp-based CAD system (with a few million lines of Lisp code) must have been originally 2000 or earlier...
> Predicting an emergency based on observed biometrics would be incredibly useful to many of them and these sorts of dismissals are exactly why the digital privacy movement has increasingly lost steam with regular people.

Nothing about predicting an emergency is incompatible with privacy. It could be done by your own device under your own control without disclosing the data to any third party. The only necessary third party communication would be the call for help, which itself would only happen in an emergency and not under normal conditions.

But that isn't how these things are implemented. Instead they typically upload your sensitive personal information to a corporation, which not only has no benefit to you, it commonly gets used against you as they use it to influence your behavior in ways that increase their profits (i.e. increase your costs).

Having a high resolution radio thing which is completely under your control can be an interesting feature. Having a high resolution radio thing which is in your living space but under someone else's control is an outrageous privacy violation that most people would strongly object to if they understood the implications. Which makes it little surprise that the purveyors prefer that people not understand the implications.

This is simply speculation and not credible.

In 6 months time, most (or all) western countries will look back and wish they had handled the virus as well as China.
It's pretty obviously not a personal attack.
It has some structure that allowed the Shuttle to capture it during repair missions. That could be enough.
Additionally Robinhood self clears options (or for some other reason?) and does not charge the Options Clearing Corp fee of $0.055/contract or the Options Regulatory Fee of $0.0388/contract which all other brokers charge (incl. ones with $0 or flat rate commissions/fees like WeBull, Gatsby, Tradier). All you pay is the FINRA and SEC fees on sells of about a penny each for small trades.

Actually, if anyone knows of another broker who _doesn't_ charge these, please let me know. If you're first for the broker I'll give you $20 for the tip.

Fascinating time capsule. I remember the TWA flight 800 coverage very well- I was scheduled to fly the same route and flight number the following week. I remember a bit of rampant speculation online back then as well ("eyewitnesses" seeing streaks headed towards the plane that might be SAMs) that I think leaked into TV news. Some things never change
Very strange article for several reasons, predominantly on the politics of it all.

The first problem I have with it is comparing CA manipulation to schizophrenic delusions. fact of the matter is that there was a conspiracy. CA really was hired by wealthy elites trying to shift politics by engaging in mass influencing campaigns. Whether it was technically effective is another matter, but the thing happened, that's not a delusional person talking to the radio.

The second big issue is the flat-out rejection that manipulation is possible, mocking 'mechanistic' views of individuals and politics. This is a very romanticized story of decision-making and arguably close to being debunked. Bartels and Achen in Democracy for Realists showcase how incoherent and flimsy political decision making is, behavioral research has shown the effectiveness of nudging in policy, Nick Chater in the mind is flat drawing on lots of research casts doubt on the narrative of 'deep beliefs' and so on.

The idea that we're inoculated against manipulation because we're all deeply complex people with coherent ideologies is not really tenable.

Overall much of the article really strikes me as a rant against 'centrism'. The author seems to think that the focus on CA is a product of people wanting to blame tech or shadowy organizations and builts up a strawman likening it to delusion, without offering a compelling reason to buy that argument.

You mean "Sign in with single sign-on"? Because right now the flow is

- Go to https://chat.mozilla.org/#/welcome

- Click on "Sign in"

- Options are "Sign in with single sign-on" or "Create account"

- "Create account" fails with "Registration has been disabled on this homeserver."

So if I "Sign in with single sign-on", I create an account, but if I "Create account" I can't?
How to make yourself into a learning machine
If the holder can afford to exercise, and I can assure you that most RH users cannot afford to exercise a single contract(at least on most commonly traded stocks).

Otherwise it's on the broker to sell it at close to someone who can afford to exercise. And who knows if RH pulled that off or not.
Which they did. The movie mentions an unsuccessful attempt to be a franchisee of a food chain that later turned out to be a scam. That ended up bankrupting the family.

If their systems are down, were they actually exercised or is that managed by another brokerage?
I feel like things like that are a bit of a moonshot.
The Chinese middle class is still in its first generation and mobility has stagnated for just a decade so it's still early. It'll be interesting to see whether tolerance for the government survives the upcoming economic slowdown.
Hi Kyle, Thanks for the appreciation. I would love to connect with you to talk more. Sending the PM.
>1. Weirdly irregular syntax.

Given that it isn't a version of common lisp that happens to target the jvm being more superficially similar while actually being substantially different wouldn't be a virtue. It would confuse more than it would illuminate.
This is a pretty common thing to do – even the FSF does this for GNU projects.

TL; DR: permanent Standard Time is the way to go.

> In summary, the scientific literature strongly argues against the switching between DST and Standard Time and even more so against adopting DST permanently. […]

> A solution to the problem is shown in Figure 2C, which contains a combination of obliterating DST (in favor of permanent Standard Time) and reassigning countries and regions to their actual sun-clock based time zones. Under such adjustment, social (local) clock time will match sun clock time and therefore body clock time most closely. Critics of such a solution might argue that this would scatter European social times, but there is no evidence that this would be detrimental. […]

> If DST should be abandoned, as we suggest as scientists, there are still many people who “like their long evenings.” But there is a solution to this problem: DST is simply a work-time arrangement, nothing more than a decision to go to school/work an hour earlier. As such, it is not a decision that should be made by the world, by unions of countries (e.g., the EU), or by individual countries, neither at the federal nor the state level. Work-time arrangements are decisions that a workforce could decide at the company level. Therefore, anyone who wants to spend more time at home in daylight after work should convince his/her company and co-workers to advance their start time during certain months of the year or even better: introduce flexibility for individual workers where possible to accommodate differences in personal biological and social requirements.

most brokerages don’t actually pay anything. With another cut it’s going to be <1% vs 0%. Hardly anything even with a six figure balance. That’s my point.
What would life be like for 4 people on median wage, though? Did they live in a slummy part of Seoul? Or were they in an expensive part in a crappy house?

If a family of four tried to live in Santa Monica on $59k -- they would only have $39k after taxes. You can't rent even a single shitty room for less than $1k per month. That leaves them $500 a month per person. Health care would take at least $58 (the fine if you don't have health care). That leaves you $440 ($14.50 a day) for everything else. It wouldn't be Parasite bad. But it would be awful.

If you just moved to Compton or San Bernardino, it would be fine.
Seems like a very apt comparison. The spread of Christianity and Islam, including denominational conversions, works much the same today. In fact, in some places it's far more crass--fancy cars and huge televisions replace grandiose public buildings and fine art as symbols and enticements of a more civilized and prosperous life awaiting converts.

I don't mean to demean religion, it's just the reality of how mass conversions often work. You get pulled in by the fancy cars, but you stay for the social networks and economic opportunities.
If you shift school an hour later and subsequently office schedules an hour later as well, aren't you reinventing standard time but calling it something else?
Exactly. All of them were qualified for the jobs they did. They did a good job too. The daughter is a bit of an exception.

The daughter is constantly depicted at someone who is exceptionally talented, although has no paper credentials for the job she does. The family makes multiple comments about good she is at things and how she belongs in the wealthy lifestyle. When everyone is wading through the sewage water (motif for poverty) she sits sort of dry on the toilet just barely above the others (incredible scene imo). She does an excellent job. I think it’s to make a point about the lack of meritocracy even within class or something.
Agreed and yes its good to state it more clearly.

One of the most interesting culture in South korea is that under treated low class people (dirt-spoon class) don't really try disrupt current society model. To elaborate, people put poverty on their own responsibility rather than complaining about structural inequality. The rage towards class inequality is emitted at competition for higher ranked university and the reward of being in a prestigious college.
Trust me, please trust me, you really really really want to be paying a competent broker when trading options.

If it's chump change you're trading, sure, use RH.

If it's serious money, the $0.65/contract or whatever pays for itself many times over. Even if it's just the ability to regularly get filled between the spread it pays for itself.
Ah, I see now, thank you very much for the detailed explanation.

Having used Excel for years as a barebones "logical framework" of sorts (before I knew better, in my teens, to solve various optimization problems in games notably like "best in slot" or "best resource distribution"), I've internalized a deep intuition for reactive programming. I had never realized this was an actual paradigm!

On optimization / O(n), models tend to (d)evolve into highly recursive 'traps' with this approach, in my experience. I learned the value of e.g. indexes, isolating concerns, generally larger but flatter surfaces indeed.

RE notebooks: I had no idea there was such a history of that. It's interesting that the approach only became somewhat popular recently.
Blaming this on social networks is overdue, in my point of view. What about TV, books, music, arts, ideologies, religions? Yes, they play a part as massive as the social networks and were used (and studied) as a media for contagion.

Then, it remains the question that what's different from an emotion that helps or harms people. Social networks acts in this way as a decentralised marketing tool, and totally vulnerable to non-organic manipulation.

Three is really young to even think STEM. That does not mean you can’t go there, but one-on-one involvement on your part is absolutely essential.

When my kids were that age, frankly, it was more about mommy than me.

Still, we built an awesome wooden train table (Thomas trains, tracks, etc.). I also gave them an old IBM keyboard, the kind with the keys that click. They loved sitting on the floor next to me while I was on the computer.

I also got them involved with any project I did in the shop (so long as it wasn’t dangerous). For example, I’d have them help build model airplanes (hand me tools, parts, hold things, etc.).

I also took them to the flying field and had them fly with me using a “buddy box” (two transmitters linked for teacher-student control of the same plane).

And fishing, even if it is using a lure without real hooks that looks like a little fish (after I clipped off the hooks). Definitely fishing, nothing compares to quality time fishing on a kayak on the lake.

The common thread is 100% personal involvement. That’s the only way it works, even if all you have are cardboard boxes (which should not be underestimated, BTW).
While I see your point, it should be noted that we are perfectly capable of killing everyone on Earth as well. The only reason this hasn't happened is because the whole world came together to be more sensible[1] about nuclear conflicts than we were about less destructive conflicts, and because of a good deal of dumb luck. And killing everyone on Earth will only ever get easier as technology advances. At least a distributed civilisation means one community self-destructing doesn't mean the end of humanity.

In my experience, people either truely care about the business domain, and are willing to be uncomfortable to delve into it, or not. Types and proofs seem to be orthogonal.

I've been using Jitsi and Google Hangouts for years, and in terms of reliability/quality, I can't really tell any difference. Haven't used Zoom much.

The nice thing about about Jitsi is it's the most simple process I've seen: just tell people to go to a simple vanity URL (URL you get to design) and that's all. I sometimes find Hangouts confusing with all the invitation, accepting, etc.

For people I videochat with often, I just say "jump on Jitsi?", then start typing in URL bar which autocompletes and boom, we're chatting
