I think it's a wait and see on how much the retail index investor will pull out.

A lot of people have been conditioned to "buy and hold"... And the retail brokers have been pushing hard to prevent clients from selling.

My broker (Fidelity) went so far as to change the home page to exclude the very nasty graphs that show huge market declines.

> eating foods that aren't highly palatable.

The keto community has recently learned how to make good meals, it was pretty bad for awhile, but I'd like to note that nearly all Indian curry dishes are keto friendly.

And while ymmv, I consider them rather palatable.

Lots of Chinese dishes as well, obv. not noodle and rice dishes, but a large swath of Chinese cuisine is perfectly keto friendly.

Heck my local ramen shop now offers keto friendly noodles.

Android (the project) may release updates, but it's useless if the phone manufacturers don't distribute them.

The article says

> According to the Android security bulletin, there were no security patches issued for the Android system in 2019 for versions below 7.0

But this doesn't really matter. The only way the vast majority of Android users will get an update is if there's an "over the air" (OTA) update. Which most device manufacturers don't provide. I've seen Samsung phones from 2016 which are stuck on Android 6, no security updates. I don't actively use Android personally, but I suspect there are more recent phones in a similar situation.

This is the crux of Android's problems re security updates.

The only consumer-grade phone I'm aware of that does a decent job of security updates is Google's Pixel. Interestingly Samsung do provide security updates fairly promptly for some models -- possibly because they're widely used as corporate Android devices and their purchasers made security updates a requirement.
Sure, but when they "fix" things like ticket/issue response times, SLAs, responsibilities of both companies, it can later be very hard to prove what you've agreed on a video call with a CEO/CTO. Especially when that other company decides that you'll be the one taking the blame for their internal politics.
Or, put more simply: You have to keep running just to stay in the same place.

Be careful with how you as a non-attorney assess the intelligence of attorneys.

With a sufficiently big organization, it's common for some sort of higher precedence, non-negotiable appendix to render most of this stuff moot anyway. Corporate attorneys on the sell-side, even at surprisingly big companies frequently screw this up, often when making snide comments through the salespeople.

My buddy tells a story from when he was an SE many years ago and his company's attorneys were going to kill a deal over an NDA requirement. The customer ended up getting them to agree to "blah blah blah, subject to applicable law". One problem: the customer was a city, subject to freedom of information law in that state!

Experienced salespeople usually get it but eye-roll, as they have an incentive to STFU.
it is huge. that's the only reason people are motivated to implement QC- because in principle then we can break crypto, do QM much faster, solve intractable problems, etc.

Day-to-day, we're not really blocked on QC to get important work done.
I have DDG set up as the default search engine and it works quite well. I would think that I don't need to use g! about 75% of the time. When the result is from wikipedia or stack overflow or some similar popular site, DDG works alright but seems to miss specialized blogs. So if I don't find the answer on the mainstream sites I find myself doing g! more often.

75% is not bad at all and if you approach with that perspective then DDG works just great but if you think you should never have to use Google, then please wait - not sure how long.

I switched to ddg because google is acting politically and I no longer trust them to act as responsible stewards of information and search.

Your body is composed of many hierarchical control systems. Some of them have feedback loops that imply minimum adaptation times longer than days. For a dietary related one (keto), one such adaptation is liver efficiency to produce fewer ketones + kidney efficiency to filter out uric acid. People who never have had gout but go on a keto diet sometimes get gout flareups because of a uric acid spike from the diet change, and it takes a number of weeks for uric acid levels to subside: https://www.virtahealth.com/blog/keto-adapted
Instead of a short squeeze where asset prices rise and blow up people with naked/levered short positions on them, it's in effect, a long squeeze, where asset prices fall and then take a cascading fall as the result of leveraged (indebted) people trying to exit their positions.

2008 "underwater mortgages," where houses were worth less than the loans to pay for them cost was a Minsky moment.

But above, the forced sale (bankruptcy avoidance) vs. profit taking a better view.
I switched from Chrome/Google to Firefox/DDG three months ago, as part of a larger switch from macOS to laptop Ubuntu. There are things I don't like about DDG. DDG continually offers to play YouTube videos in its own window due to privacy concerns, and it's not clear to me when it redirects and when it offers its own window. Some searches don't work well; for example, "weather 22203" returns weather for Arlington, TX instead of Arlington, VA in the DDG modal, and for things like precipitation I still need to g! the query.

These minor concerns are all peanuts compared to the benefits though. I've found I'm very much a "live free or die" kind of guy, and I like how both Firefox and DDG care about the user. I also like how they work well without too much configuration out of the box :P

Kinda off topic but other side of the coin, befriending the asshole:

At my first job there was this grizzly old engineer who was known for being pretty surly, but knew the code base almost as if by memory, and the behavior of the code. He was bothered by anything and everything and really just wanted to run out the clock and go home and work in his wood shop.

I was in support and nobody wanted to go to him for help, but man you had to sometimes. I read something about guys like that being really particular about things so I just made a long list of what he was annoyed that people didn't bring him (information wise) and how they brought it to him when people or I did go to him.

Most importantly I'd make a point that he would see that I brought him information (about customer problems) based on his past feedback.

Eventually over the course of months he warmed to me and I could get his help bringing him virtually nothing and he wouldn't complain. Dude was still annoyed for not getting a mountain of information from other techs, but not so much me. People there for 10 years would get a "Have Mark look at it first." talk from him... I had been there for 9 months.

For him it was about getting to know people and trust that they would bother to get him what he needed, once you proved that, he didn't so much care.
> I think the bigger question is what is the difference between a Minsky moment and an inverse-short squeeze (a long squeeze?)?

Casually speaking, it’s the difference between a forced sale of an asset in order to repay debt after a long period of growth, and the incented but not mandatory sale of an asset which has increased substantially in price over a brief time, which is now abruptly declining, by owners hoping to salvage some of the gain.

I would not say the ratings are all positive. They are all between about 4.5 and 5 stars. So 4.5 is "worst", 4.75 is "medium" and 5 is "best".

The question is if there is a correlation of these and your preferences.

I have stayed in 13 AirBnBs last year and rated them in a spreadsheet. Putting them in one of 3 bins: good, ok or bad. The average AirBnB ratings for my bins are:

good: 4.78
ok : 4.78
bad : 4.92

So for now the correlation is negative. Not sure what to make of it.
Liveramp.

You literally upload any offline data (phone numbers, names, address, whatever you have) and they match it to online profiles. They take the data you give them and use it in their cross-device graph, which is the exact thing you said doesn’t exist. Any business can go license or use that cross device graph in a variety of ways. $RAMP, 2.2B market cap.

Same service is provided by oracle with their cdp and dmp, and a few other companies. If you want to do more research the terms to look for are identity graph, cross device graph, offline matching, and other variants of those. Fb, google, LinkedIn, etc all offer some version of this in their walled garden. In the blog post they talk more about offline conversions, but it’s the same idea.

That tells you how long before it's out of your system, not how long it takes to reset after.

Effect duration for a psychoactive is related to half-life, but they aren't identical, and 'reset time' varies widely, e.g. MDMA is over in about 4 hours but it takes at minimum of two weeks before one can get a comparable effect again.

Getting into AI
MY goal is to work with Artificial intelligence and machine learning, I'm at an intermediate level of programming using python (which is the only language I know) and am currently going through an algebra 1, and data science course. I know I need a concrete understanding of mathematics, algorithms, logic, data structures, as well as probability and statistics.

My question is: am I missing anything? are there courses/books you would recommend? also, which subjects should I start putting the most time into? are there any forums that you know of where I could go for tips, as well as ask questions, or maybe even makes some friends to help me stay motivated?
The part about the lack of an app is a great insight, I think people do have a lot of fatigue around apps right now, and a really well done responsive page will work for most users.

Most of the features enabled by making an app are ones users are tired of: push notifications, mic/camera access, etc.
Huh. Not bad. I've accidentally done this before, and it did indeed work quite well.
Reminds me of a problem I just had with Eclipse's debugger (which sadly seems to be one of the most capable GUI debuggers on Linux).

I set breakpoints and they were ignored.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4388192/eclipse-doesnt-s...

One time it was the top answer -- I had "skip all breakpoints" on. How it got on, I have no idea, since I did a fresh install of Eclipse pretty recently.

Yesterday it was still ignoring my breakpoints even though that was NOT on. Why? I have no idea.

So I still debug with gdb when the 'bt' command suffices. When I want to do more advanced stuff, I'll fire up Eclipse maybe, but I'm honestly loathe to do so.

Same for me. I caught my first cold a few weeks ago but I was at a funeral (the stress of the death I'm sure reduced my immune system) hugging a bunch of people I hadn't seen in years so it's no surprise that I did. The thing is, several times over the past two years since starting Keto I felt a cold coming on but the next day it was gone. It's the weirdest thing. So weird that I have trouble attributing it all to Keto but I don't know what else other than Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (which I started at the same time as Keto) to attribute it to. I do know that exercise does help improve immunity but I ran a lot before starting Keto and BJJ and still caught colds.

My doctor was also surprised at my results. At first he was skeptical about what I was eating until he looked at my numbers. The shock on his face visible. Then he said, "These look so good that I guess you should keep doing what you're doing."
I'm so glad I read your comment because it motivated me to actually click into the PDF and read further. It truly is an incredible resource. Really a tour de force.

I've had FreeNAS running on a 2U Supermicro box for a year and a half or so (I ran FreeBSD on it prior to that). My needs are pretty simple and I don't need 90% of the features either. I only use iSCSI (for the VMware servers in my lab) and NFS (for pretty much everything else); occasionally I'll rsync my workstation's files to it for an "extra" backup.

I've got automated ZFS snapshots set up and when I finally replaced a failing drive -- just two days ago, I think -- it was a fairly simple matter. I updated it to the latest version of FreeNAS and that was simple and straightforward too.

FWIW, this box isn't exposed to the Internet. In fact, it doesn't even have a default route; besides, my router / firewall filters outgoing traffic too -- not just incoming.

I could have just used FreeBSD and configured the pieces I need instead of using FreeNAS but it's been quite stable and reliable and has mostly been a "set it up and forget it" experience.
The LED bulbs often fail due to the driver electronics, not the LED parts themselves. At least with large PV installations the inverters are separate from the panels and can be replaced.
In my observation, that rarely goes well. People tend to view it as a bait-and-switch.

What I have seen companies do with good results is to put the free product into maintenance mode, then develop a new (and improved) product (even if it could be considered a "version 2" of the free product) and put a price tag on it from day 1.

But this is speaking from my observations, not from experience. I've never tried taking one of my free products and converting them to paid, personally.

>How do you measure productivity? And (asking again, since you didn’t answer) how do you measure social waste? Where is the evidence of your claims?

That's the entire point. We can't quantify if education actually makes people more productive and if it does, is that productivity applied to helping or hurting society. For example, an aspiring software dev could get educated in computer science which would increase their productivity (provided they actually learned something which is not a given). However, they could become a white or black hat hacker with differing effects on society. Another scenario is that a person doesn't know what they want to do and so they take a variety of courses until they find something they like. A lot of that education is wasted energy that doesn't help anyone if they can't use it.
I wouldn't rely on a manual mean, considering that there is a built-in API:

So if you follow the AirBnB host forums at all, anything less than a five star(absolute best possible) review is considered bad.

Hosts flip out all the time on 4-star reviews. They loose can "superhost" status and other such things after a couple non-5 star reviews. Giving a 1-star review is probably worse than causing $100+ in damage for some of a lot of these hosts.

Hosts will rarely rate guests < 5 stars, simply for fear of retaliation.

The problem here is that guests are never told that 5 stars = normal stay. This leads to problems. If AirBnB was more up front about expectations it would make their review system a lot better.
I think the prevailing theory will eventually be that a diet rich in monosaccharides is detrimental to health. It's been demonstrated that low carb, high meat diets are not the optimal diet, in that most adults will eat red meat or some type of processed meat and little fiber. Both add to the numerator when looking at myocardial infarction, stroke, and colorectal cancer. When one is in kidney failure it is recommended by the American Society of Nephrologists to attenuate protein derived from animal products.

Essentially, balance is what the current recommendations say, but also to stay completely away from sugar.

Two new ways to read a file quickly
You can't really blame developers for this. Most aren't integrating SDKs for no reason at all -- they're integrating them because users are asking for a feature the SDK provides.

For one app I worked on, we made a decision not to include Facebook or Google login and only support email/password login, specifically to avoid leaking information.

A subset of users was not pleased at all -- and they sure let us know about it. Maybe around a third of our support requests were asking for third-party sign-in. People often made privacy arguments in support of it: they'd say "why do I have to give you my email address to create an account?" (though usually much less politely). And they kind of had a point. You may trust yourself more than you trust Facebook, but most people are going to trust Facebook more than they trust [random developer].

Anyway, it takes a lot of effort to deal with these support requests, it sucks getting yelled at (even in text). Some of these users probably went on to give the app a 1-star rating, and just a small percentage of those will really drag down your overall score. Dealing with this was not fun. It would have been much easier to just add FB or Google login.
Gray swan. That's actually a good term for thinking about this.

2003 we had SARS, 2014 we had MERS. We had (and still have) Ebola. Weve had H5N1 and H7N1 outbreaks.

We dodged many of these bullets, but only by the luck of their lack of infectiousness.

It's been staring at us in the face and yet remained in our blindspot.

You have to be a part of the ecosystem. If you need any connectivity (internet or phone), you really have no choice. Unless you buy prepay cell phones with cash, change the number every few months, only use public WiFi, wipe your computer, change browsing habits, etc.

Even if you Adblock and never give away personal info, like op said, your cable, bank, insurance, dmv, internet, and phone provider will still collect and sell your data.
Exactly. My mother is a dedicated coupon-clipper on a fixed income, and she would be delighted if a grocery store offered her a couple customized chances to save money every time she walked in.

Also, let's not ignore that the headline is backwards: Apps can send ads via notifications right now, what Apple has done is made it a separate permission, so that users can turn off ads and keep other notifications.

This is a strict improvement.
