The problem with single-threaded shared mutability
You think that everyone always obeys the law?

Please tell me how you expect to enforce such laws without intrusive surveillance on everyone's networks and storage that would entirely defeat the purpose of having them.

"Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead."

Even if Alice sends a file to Bob that is entirely safe from Eve while in transit, Alice has no recourse whatsoever from within the channel if Bob then turns around and just hands it over to Eve once he recovers the plaintext. Facebook is an untrustworthy recipient. Once you hand over any data, you lose your absolute control over them.

They have the capability to hand over your data to untrusted third parties, there are no safeguards in place to prevent them from doing so, no surveillance in place to detect when they have done so, and no effective recourse for any individual who feels that they may have been injured by it. We have sufficient evidence to believe that Facebook has done it in the past (Cambridge Analytica being just one well-publicized example), without even needing to know whether it was intentional, accidental, or paid business. I therefore conclude that they are still doing it now, and will continue doing it in the future.

Anything you say or do or remember in front of Facebook can and will be used against you in the court of commerce. The machines will process it all to squeeze the pennies out, and your privacy is an issue only insofar as it may impede the flow of data you willingly hand over to them in the future.
I think that this is an interisting idea and in general I welcome it that you shared this. However, based on the quick look I just had I doubt that you asked for permission to publish these from all the persons present in the pictures.

These kind of things can have real consequences.

Just to play devil's advocate, the world also rarely has an epidemic of this magnitude...

If you already own a home. Otherwise housing is just more expensive. Lower interest rates mean houses can be sold at higher prices for exactly the reason you gave.

" ... I'm still slightly bearish on the whole situation due to the combination of the virus' absurdly high infection rate[0] and its ridiculous ~25-30 day incubation period ..."

You're right to highlight those aspects of the virus and I find them noteworthy as well.

However, the statistics I am most interested in is mortality rate and rate of asymptomatic infections.

I note with interest that among the 700+ infected on the cruise ship, there were 6 deaths as of yesterday - and this is among a relatively geriatric population. So, perhaps we see a mortality rate of <1% among a greater risk population.
OP here. I assumed knowledge of how FreeBSD works and the ongoing efforts to move to clang. I can see how the title could be misleading for people who are not familiar.

As others have pointed out "FreeBSD has removed GCC from the. base system" would be a better title.
They're pretending that this is the case as a form of guerilla marketing for ad tech.

"See how influential these ads can be! Someone in the GRU can pick the president by spending 100k on facebook ads."

It's self-serving like everything else these companies do. So they're willing to go in front of congress and do kabuki theater about how serious their position to influence people is and make guidelines---which they will undoubtedly ignore.
The business cycle has been on the down turn for a few months now (though folks are just now beginning to notice it). Historically, Treasuries, long-term GOV'T bonds, and gold perform well during this part of the cycle. If you must have equities, utilities and REITs perform well but only in relation to other S&P stocks.
Convenience is surely why Spotify won over even the free mp3 downloads? Anything that involves user-managed files in any sense will never be convenient to the masses. It’s a concept more dead than vhs. You won’t find many that find moving and organizing files “convenient”.

"In his letter to Carney, dated Feb. 28, Hohn warned that British banks were “highly likely” to suffer losses on coal financing as the cost of renewables continued to fall and regulations on air pollution and carbon emissions tighten."

If that's the case then Hohn shouldn't even need to push this agenda at all. Coal usage would go down dramatically naturally based on market competition from renewables based on his own statement. Either he doesn't believe that, or he does and there's something else going on.
> given that fiscal policy can't really affect the real economy i.e. if the supply chain is indeed impacted due to COVID-19, no amount of fiscal stimulus can make up for the time / productivity losses

The fact that you don't know the difference between fiscal and monetary policy, FYI changing interest rates is monetary policy, makes me strongly doubt that you know what you're talking about.

I suspect it will nurture a massive structural problem few today would understand or care much about. It will be allowed to grow unabated because, frankly, there will be bigger fish to fry.

Maybe a little like subprime leading up to 2008. The problem was written off by just about everyone who bothered to look, until something snapped and it was the only thing that mattered.

We may be seeing the start of this in the repo market, which once again had a convulsion today. I doubt many care about it or really understand it, and that goes double for policy makers.
haven't seen anyone recommend this yet so I will toss in a link to PARA: https://fortelabs.co/blog/para/

You want a system simple enough to remember, as well as all these other properties (quoting Tiago here):

- universal, encompassing any conceivable kind of information from any source

- flexible, able to work with any project or activity you take on, now and in the future

- simple, not requiring any time-consuming maintenance, cataloguing, tagging, or reorganizing beyond a bare minimum

- actionable, integrating seamlessly with task management and project management methods

- cross-platform, able to be used with any application, now existing or yet to be developed

- outcome-oriented, structuring information in a way that supports the delivery of valuable work

- modular, allowing different levels of detail to be hidden or revealed, depending on the needs of the current task

- opportunistic, in the good sense, taking advantage of work already being performed, instead of requiring dedicated overhead time

So PARA breaks down to Projects — Areas — Resources — Archives:

- A Project is “a series of tasks linked to a goal, with a deadline.” Examples include: Complete app mockup; Develop project plan; Execute business development campaign; Write blog post; Finalize product specifications; Attend conference

- An Area of responsibility is “a sphere of activity with a standard to be maintained over time.” Examples include: Health; Finances, Professional Development; Travel; Hobbies; Friends; Apartment; Car; Productivity; Direct reports; Product Development; Writing

- A Resource is “a topic or theme of ongoing interest.” Examples include: habit formation; project management; transhumanism; coffee; music; gardening; online marketing; SEO; interior design; architecture; note-taking

- Archives include “inactive items from the other three categories.” Examples include: projects that have been completed or become inactive; areas that you are no longer committed to maintaining; resources that you are no longer interested in
It's starting to seem like they use some sort of message bus to tie everything together. If the servers actually processing messages can't handle the volume, the entire show comes grinding to a halt. I've seen similar things in other industries where the entire system looks like its perfectly healthy, and then before you know it 100% of your systems are down because you simply can't push peak message volume or because one participant is infinite-looping messages.
Actually, no thanks. "Sementic" structure is how we got responsive web soup of ugly websites with hamburger menus.

We need the opposite, we need a format that stays the same size, same proportions and is vectorized so you can zoom to any size - however, the relationship of space between elements remains constant.

PDF is an amazing format IMO. Think of it like Docker - the designer knows exactly how its going to appear on the user's device.

> inflation has arguably been far too low for far too long anyway...

Do you not need a roof over your head, health insurance, a car, college education, etc? Inflation has been rampant, it's just not apparent in manufactured goods because the actual cost of production dropped rapidly with offshoring and technological progress. Without significant inflation, we would have seen a steady march down of consumer prices, as happened in computing.
There was a discussion last night about this. Some of the more technically competent posters dismissed it because it's unbelievable that a financial platform would roll their own date-time implementation.

I find it ironic that the people who say "the government should just spend tons of money because the debt doesn't matter" and don't care about punting the problem to the next generation are the same ones who say how irresponsible the Baby Boomers are for punting the environment problem to the next generation.
Verbatim copying is shown to improve recall a lot too.
Right. And from what I understand, even if monetary policy does not directly solve virus or supply chain issues, it can make life easier for corporations loaded with debt (there are many) which might get into trouble as the economy deteriorates.

Systems grow in complexity and as a result you want to do more with them and for them, all while maintaining decades of backwards compatibility. Which is why all those basic tools presented in the article, that have existed over the past 4 decades still do the same and more. They have to cater to scenarios that didn't exist 4 decades ago but also to the ones that did.
>because old people that bitterly cling their views and (most importantly) their power eventually die off, freeing room for the new.

This is just wrong. My 80-year-old mother is far more progressive politically than many 20-35 year old men in this country. Remember the heavily armed Neo-Nazis in Charlottesville protesting the removal of Civil War statues? Those weren't elderly people.

An interesting typo experiment for the UK's main ccSLD co.uk
How many of you have typed goggle instead of Google?

I set out a little experiment on typos and what I found was quite astonishing. Information accidentally leaked through emails can be quite damaging. Originally I configured a catch all for typo's of co.uk where people accidentally typed ce instead of co, for example www.google.ce.uk or www.amazon.ce.uk. The experiment has been running for a number of months now and the domain receives around 300 unique human visitors a month, I also found that if the domain has the letters ce in it then there was a higher probability that a visitor would type ce.uk, for example ce-service.ce.uk, it's like the human fingers are on autopilot ce...ce.uk without really thinking about it. The ce.uk website also has a generic contact us page and there are a number of visitors that fill out the form believing that they are contacting the co.uk website company or owners. For the record an email was sent back informing them of the typo to assist with their message getting to its intended recipient.

Moving on from website typos, I wasn't satisfied that only websites would be incorrectly typed so I took my investigation to the next level, emails. Honestly I didn't know what to expect, millions of spam emails, maybe the odd incorrect website sign up. I went about and configured a catch everything@everything.ce.uk for example dave.smith@yahoo.ce.uk or sally.jones@mycompany.ce.uk and within the first day of setting this up I received a ratio of about 1 to 10 of legitimate emails vs spam. You could receive accounts, orders, CVs, references, even medical related information. Suffice to say if you were a scammer or a fraudster you would have literally just hit the jackpot. You would have information that only the sender and recipient may have intimate knowledge of so to make booking alterations or change bank details to pay money to an account you have control over would be a breeze.
What's the term for when the government owns all the industries?
This is not solving the problem which is 1) the US is drastically behind in testing the population 2) it will not fix disrupted international supply chains 3) it will not fix liquidity crises at health insurers, hospitals, and life insurers and 4) it will not fix demand if people do not want to go shopping at any price because of non-financial concerns.

I presume the Fed knows this, and what worse is this seems to be due to political pressure.

Finally, when this does not work, it will reduce peoples' faith in the Fed.

I am seeing this parroted everywhere this comes up and it is very unlikely to be the case. For one we have no idea what that API call is doing. The date parameter could be an upper bound, ie. it's just asking for all of the most recent data. In addition, Robinhood was up over the weekend, after the leap year occurred, and was even available early on Monday before the market opened.

In many cases, GCC and LLVM/Clang are the two alternatives.

But in this case, I believe we are talking about IBM's XL compilers. These are proprietary compilers written by IBM.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_XL_C/C%2B%2B_Compilers

IBM has been offering proprietary compilers for operating systems like AIX for quite a long time. Going back to the mid-90s in my personal experience, and probably going back further than that too.

Expanding other DNS record names isn't very helpful either. I know what a Canonical Name for something is, but CNAME seems clearer, Mail Exchanger definitely isn't a helpful way to think about what MX records are for...

PTR and TXT aren't initials they're just short for "pointer" and "text" neither of which is much help divining what they're actually used for, and presumably AAAA doesn't actually stand for anything at all (?) other than it's four times bigger than the A record.

Well that's on par for a small-ish metal tube full of hairless apes and lots of fancy space electronics. Whereas the article is talking about the lingering gas particles floating about the universe.
What makes primates special, among mammals, is that the number of neurons in our brains scales linearly with brain volume like birds instead of like the 3/4 power of volume like other mammals. See Suzana Herculano-Houzel's work on the topic.

What makes humans special among mammals, other than our big brains, is that we're very good at learning from each other. A 2 year old human isn't really much better at solving mechanical puzzles than a 2 year old monkey but that human is a positive genius at social learning compared to the monkey. And once that human learns a word like "or" they can start applying the disjunctive syllogism in ways a monkey will never match. A large plastic brain probably limits how smart a human can get but it's seemingly hardwired traits like an infants preferences for learning from people with accents similar to their mothers that kickstart humans. See Joseph Henrich's work.
I have no experience with it directly, but Robinhood is also widely regarded (in at least some circles) as having very poor execution. Meaning you're potentially not getting orders filled, or getting them filled at a sub-optimal price. They're also known for having "tech startup" level tech support if there _are_ issues, unlike more established brokers that allow you to talk to a real person almost instantly, allow you to trade over the phone if needed, etc.

They're also known for mispricing essentially _every_ morning, showing nonsensical pricing and account values for the first 30 minutes of trading. Overall, their software is clearly lagging behind something like Think or Swim from TDA.

Robinhood kind of made sense for low-value accounts that wanted to avoid commission. They've changed the game a bit in that most brokers offer low to no commission now. I'll echo the parent comment, I just don't see the point in using them given that most of the alternatives are better.
I mean, it's not like rates were high to begin with. It may make a little bit of a difference for each company, but they are certainly way more concerned about their ability to generate cash to pay their interest if you assume a significant drop in demand.

>On November 8th of 2016, half the country learned that everything they believed to be both true and obvious turned out to be wrong. The people who thought Trump had no chance of winning were under the impression they were smart people who understood their country, and politics, and how things work in general. When Trump won, they learned they were wrong. They were so very wrong that they reflexively (because this is how all brains work) rewrote the scripts they were seeing in their minds until it all made sense again. The wrong-about-everything crowd decided that the only way their world made sense, with their egos intact, is that either the Russians helped Trump win or there are far more racists in the country than they imagined, and he is their king. Those were the seeds of the two mass hysterias we witness today.

Air travel got way cheaper and more popular over the last two or three decades. Some of this is deregulation and technological innovation enabling lower fuel costs. Much more of this is because customers almost always choose the lowest cost airfare over all other choices. This is a constant pressure to reduce cost and features of the flight and reflects what the average coach customer actually wants. It is nothing to be mad about. Airlines are a low-margin industry, which in my mind trends towards nonexploitative.

If you look at proportions of revenue and costs, the premium seats of an airplane subsidize the cheap seats. And they get to the destination maybe 5 minutes earlier if they disembark first.
Just think of all of the panic news stories where the facts and the corresponding emotional impact evaporated within 48 hours.
