For a while, decent bike tires had tan sidewalls. We noticed that some people had weird streaks on their tires that looked a lot like SpinArt.

Someone somewhere figured out that WD-40 was causing that. And sure enough everybody with streaks said that they use WD-40 on their chains. The streaks were dirt sticking to oil. And if the oil is on your tire, it went past your rims to get there, which is very much not good.

Credit cards with complete billing info sell for what... 50 cents a piece? If you're rooting a payment processor, maybe a worthwhile target, although you could probably do much better than steal card numbers. A consumer device? Not so much.
It's almost always a prudent decision for a company to draw on loan facilities if they think things are going south. Draw while you still can and before you trip a covenant.

There's also a lot of controversy around Angular's treatment in the survey and an alleged pro-React bias. This shouldn't affect the Svelte numbers much.

They are worried about the image of Americans wearing masks on TV. When that congressman in Trump’s plane found out he had been exposed mid-flight, they didn’t put a mask on him (at least not when he exited the plane). So even in a national security critical situation (president is in 70s), image is way more important.

Robinhood makes money by tailgating your orders and selling your trade history to hedge funds et al. If they make too many risky moves, it's possible that they could run out of money very quickly. That, combined with the panic from the 3 days of outages sounds like a very bad recipe to me.

This has not been my experience. Trello is a good example. They have an enterprise tier that they basically starts at 100 users. Their business tier does not include SSO and I have a team of 60 people so the enterprise tier (which is about $250/person, by the way, compared to $12 a person for business) is out. Slack charges nearly double for their enterprise tier with SSO. I would not call not getting getting the tier down from the enterprise tiers a "dirty workaround" for most teams.

Sore throat is not a known common symptom to COVID-19. The standard list being propagated by public health organizations[1] is: fever (nothing about 101F specifically that I'm aware of), cough, and breathing trouble (e.g. shortness of breath, pneumonia, chest tightness). Upper respiratory symptoms like sore throat are significantly less common with COVID-19 than they are with most viral infections, though obviously the instance isn't going to be zero.

Obviously to some extent this is just pedantry, but at times like this it's really important that we get these things right consistently. If all you have is a sore throat you are very unlikely to have COVID-19 given what we know right now.

I find virtue-signaling tiresome myself, but in this case I don't think the author was virtue-signalling or being an SJW. There are some real concerns around xenophobic responses around the world and I think the author wrote those words sincerely. Plus I don't think she was referring to the U.S. specifically.

When people are fearful, their higher executive functions become impaired, and it is exactly these executive functions that are needed to weigh the facts and to avoid impulse blaming, which in this context manifests in xenophobic behaviors.

All of us need occasional reminders to help us realize that we can rise above our baser survival instincts. We all impulse-blame -- that's just human nature, I do it too. But we can do better than that.
I've had severe depression my whole adult life and this is what has worked for me:

1. Zero alcohol.
2. ICE cold showers.
3. Extreme cardio.
4. Meditation.
5. Breakfast with a friend.
6. Play with a big young dog.
7. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
7. Meds.
8. Get up at 5am.
9. Journal.

Feeling Good is one of the best books on depression from a scientific perspective.

SIPC insurance protects you from any brokerage insolvency, up to $500k I believe. (not to mention a pile of laws and regulations to prevent risks of insolvency)

I would suppose drawing on a credit line like that would have something to do with maintaining adequate funds in various accounts for settlement of funds transfers and stock transaction as well as the various margin products that brokerages have during a usage spike – without touching corporate accounts for raised funds and various other capital sources. I have no knowledge of the situation but it seems like they pulled in cash from a credit line created for this exact purpose to act as a buffer.

Under the hood of all of these banks and brokerages are a series of settlement periods and bank accounts shared at different firms. You end up needing buffer cash because nothing is instant, you want to keep that to a minimum, and during a usage spike you have to add to the buffer to make sure nothing goes negative. Just the underlying mechanics of banking which has nothing at all to do with the firms financial health.

Revolving credit lines are usually revocable. Depending on what Robinhood drew the cash for, and the degree to which they have liquidity-source redundancy, it could imply their having been closer to an edge than was apparent.
speaking as someone who served in the army national guard, this pandemic isnt nearly as devastating as a natural disaster. So long as there is still clean water, electricity, and communications systems online, you're okay.

A few tips on things that can be stocked (or should be checked) for general disaster preparedness:

0. bottles of clean water. Old milk jugs of tap h20 will do.
1. dry goods like beans and rice which are compatible with boil-water advisories. peanut butter is also good.

2. a fever reducer of some sort. even a few Acetaminophen or aspirin.

3. Cheap bar soap. dollar store or discount brand. The article is correct in that every emergency needs good hygiene. bar soap can be split up among family members.

This looks quite nice. But then S-Expressions and the soon to be there templates add quite a bit of unnecessary complexity IMHO.
>I think that's a vision of OO that not many OO programs that I've seen actually follow.

Maybe not, but it absolutely was part of the original vision. This is why Smalltalk 80 implements if/else statements and loops as methods, rather than keywords. A boolean in smalltalk is not just a value. It's a latent algorithm for choosing between two blocks of code at some later point in time. It's also a latent algorithm for operating on other booleans via binary logic methods. Until you start seeing objects this way, you will not be able to appreciate the elegance of object-oriented programming.

Here are some examples of how this can work in non-trivial scenarios:

> frontrunning your orders

That's a pretty serious criminal allegation, do you have any more info?

> and selling your trade history to hedge funds

I have not heard about this either, do you have more info?

The main way that I'm aware of that Robinhood makes money is payment for order flow. The idea is that HFT firms want make risk-free money by providing liquidity without taking a position (via the bid/ask spread). The problem in the larger market is that every once in awhile the price will move against the HFT firm because some other market participant knows something they don't, and so they get caught holding equities that they didn't want to hold. Instead, they pay Robinhood to send them order flow from retail customers who are unlikely to actually know anything and should have approximately even/random orders on either side of the bid/ask spread.

Orders still have to be executed at the best possible price though, they can't send your order to Citadel and have Citadel charge you $0.02/share more than what you could get from someone else.
The whole idea of colonizing other parts of the solar system just seems like a fool’s errand to me. Colonizing Antarctica or even the bottom of the oceans seems like a more practical endeavor to me.

As uninhabitable as Antarctica is, just think about the advantages it has over a place like Mars or Titan: a breathable Earth pressure atmosphere, 1G gravity, abundant water, not outrageously extreme temperatures, low radiation levels, close to civilization, etc.

Probably most importantly, you don’t have to escape Earth’s gravitational pull to get there. In fact, you can use one of humankind’s earliest inventions—a boat.

If we were really afraid of an extinction level event such as a nuclear war or extreme climate change, humanity could survive by doing the same sorts of things here that we would have to do on Mars—building large underground habitats. Except, we could survive in much larger numbers since it would be so so so much cheaper to build those habitats here.

FYI I work for UHG. They're currently spending tens of millions on infrastructure so that their entire workforce can be remote if this gets any worse. If people self-quarantine, they won't lose sick or vacation days and can work remotely.

Several states are proposing bills to protect people who are in hourly or contract roles where if they do self-quarantine, their jobs are covered and they will still be paid.

I feel like companies and the states are able to do more for their people than the government can. I've never been a huge fan of UHG, but they're putting their money where their mouth is this time and protecting their employees and working to contain the spread of the virus within the company.

It's not criminal in any way, it's actually pretty common for brokers to do this, particularly the free or low-cost ones. Call it market making if you want, but it's essentially the same mechanics.
But if the cost is higher than lithium battery cells, their better discharge rate, (perhaps) regen efficiency, and cycle advantage would justify the premium in hybrids.
It would cause disorganized resistance and economic breakdown, but not civil war, tbh.

Let's start with a self-sustainable colony at the South Pole. Or, for that matter, a self-sustainable colony in Death Valley.

"But even if we could, why would anyone want to?" you might ask...

And that's the point.

Nobody would want to as there is no economic reason to be there.

My two cents: we'll never colonize a moon or planet. There are, on the other hand, some economic perks to manufacturing in zero-g. Consequently, I'd put my money in massive orbiting space stations.
Nope, they're not, but you're right that they should be!
Framing it like this anticipates the silly but common fatalist argument "that everyone will be infected" or "there is little an individual can do". The more nuanced point is that it won't come to a dead stop. The curve graph also highlights the importance of individual action in taking strain of the healthcare system.

> React 16 is 2.2 KB or 34.8 KB if you include react-dom

Gzipped. Uncompressed React is 6.3KB and react-dom is 114.5KB (and of course you're going to include react-dom, how else would you use it?!)

Uncompressed matters because it takes a device longer to parse more code. Particularly in a world where low end Android devices are being shipped with slow CPUs and very little RAM.

The real killer combination is React plus a giant blob of state that has to be parsed, and then hydrated into individual elements. It's a giant, giant waste of CPU time that is acceptable on my iPhone XS, but when I plug in a Nokia 2 it's horrifying. VDOM itself is needlessly CPU intense in many ways.

Even if you don't want to use Svelte it baffles me that more people don't use Preact. 9.5KB uncompressed and it does 95% of what React does. But people just don't seem to care.

With amazon tech, in addition to manually monitored cameras, you add AI monitored cameras, and sensors on shelves to detect an item has been taken.

Without Amazon's tech stores rely on staff members witnessing the item being hidden.

With Amazon's tech, the item is taken and marked for payment as soon as it's removed.

The only reason for 3rd party authorization is that these 3rd party auth services are ubiquitous unlike Apple's one. How the hell Apple expects people to use a service with an Apple auth in Windows 10 Edge browser is beyond any reasonable explanation. And definitely no sane developer would require users to use Apple's auth outside Apple ecosystem.

So, what we see here is a dictatorship of a monopolist player to lock users into their own ecosystem. That's a weak move that shows how insecure Apple is as to users' churning. Shame.
