I've got a bit more hope in the median American than you I think. I don't expect racism to disappear entirely. It's an extension of a natural reaction to change or experience. It takes education, and good experiences to counter racism. Some people are just stupid, but even they aren't beyond help. Those who are should be imprisoned.

Anyways, if you care to know, I suspect that people etal have merely forgotten how much power to effect change we have when we unite towards a common goal. If every person claiming unemployment started protesting tomorrow for: [weekly stimulus money no delays no excuses, 100% free to consumer health care and treatment extended into single payer after covid19, and policies preventing repossession, evictions, foreclosures, and garnishment due to un/under-employment] then I would bet everything I own that you would see our politicians act with a swift decisiveness, to either effect a nationwide tianemin square or capitulate to the will of the people. I fully expect capitulation, but realize we have an absentee president.
And it still works in market niches that haven’t been discovered by the dropship brotherhood.
newline (formerly Fullstack.io) | Course author | Remote | Part Time | https://www.newline.co/write-with-us

7 out of our last 10 authors made $50k+ (each). We’re the authors of Fullstack React, ng-book, Fullstack Vue and we’re looking to work with authors like you to write a few new courses this year. Our books & courses sell very well because: - We go way beyond API docs and teach everything you need to know to build real apps. - We guarantee they're up-to-date. - We invest in marketing the books (and have an active email list of over 100k) - We love the topics we write about and aim to create something remarkable every time.

If you decided to self-publish, you may find the marketing is more than writing the course. We have an audience, and we know what they want to learn - so when your course is done, we already have people who want to buy it.

If you decide to go with a “traditional” publisher, you may be given a mediocre editor, write your book in MS Word (ha), and earn 5-15% in royalties. With us, our editors (me) are programmers first, our tooling is dev-friendly, and our royalties on profit are split 50/50. (For scale, the author of Fullstack Vue earned $20k on the opening weekend, Fullstack D3 even more.)

We’re looking to write the definitive guides on programming topics. Things like "The newline Guide to Authentication with React and Node in 2020" - But variations on that can be any major stack or task: Not only JavaScript, but also Rust, Go, Java, AWS, DevOps, Angular, React, ASP.NET Core, Serverless, Python, Elixir, Data Science etc.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, fill out the form linked below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Not quite like structs. From my understanding, Java's inline types are immutable.
As Taleb has said many times: Don't tell me your predictions, show me your portfolio.

What did you do with this "obvious" information?

Did you go all in beforehand to make a killing and set yourself up for life? Did you make smaller bets and build an awesome rainy day fund? Did you sit on the sidelines and call the plays afterwards?
But there are always sudden drops eventually.

Market crashes aren't "if" they're "when"

I did it in 2000 when it was harder to get setup but margins were great even on electronics like plasma TVs and projectors.

I hacked an oscommerce store and piped in inventory from my drop ship warehouses.

The side benefit was getting all my personal electronics at a discount.

Eventually dropshippers started going crazy low and disregarding MAP pricing so margins were super thin. Some distributers of mine even started direct to consumer sites and selling at the same or lower price as I could get from them.

I switched to selling products overseas to Italy that they couldn't get there. Also found some niche electronic products that had margins, manufacturer support (they dropshipped direct not via a distributor) and did well there. That was fun sourcing and marketing unique stuff I liked.

Outside of selling unique products, I did my best buying closeout or specials from my distributor in bulk and shipping orders overseas myself. Margins were very nice and fulfilling myself was easy.

If you have a business and a sellers permit then you can get setup with distributors. Petra was one I used back then. It's way easier to dropship nowadays, way more competition, terrible margins in general.
I know this sounds dramatic but these types have practically ruined staying in hostels for me. I used to love hostels because of the types of people you would meet, all of them vastly different in most ways but all united by a common desire to travel and see the sights of the place you're visiting. If someone were to talk about work, it would be to say that they are taking an extended vacation from it or working as a part-time bartender or travel guide, but they certainly wouldn't brag about it.

But the last couple of times I've gone backpacking in Southeast Asia, you can't go to any hostel common area without at least a handful of nomad-bros on their MacBook and a Chang bragging to anyone nearby about "yea I'm a digital nomad, I'm making so much money even while just chilling at this bar". A lot of them have somehow turned the travel aspect of the culture into "just part of the job", as if the only reason they are traveling is because "working and traveling is cool", rather than simply "travel is cool".
That being said, we have developed a combination of vaccines and ICU treatments to drastically reduce the mortality of the flu. This is not your '70 flu anymore.
I agree but it can go too far too. Last week I had the misfortune to be writing some Applescript. Never will I write a more readable program.

I never want to write in Applescript again though!
Looks like you're getting feedback on /r/embedded, so there ya go.

Personally I think you've created a hammer in search of a nail. Still, it's a nice piece of work.
Constructive criticism: I was about to send this to a friend who is new to programming, but the introduction is just too short. It would be great if the introduction included one or two motivational examples for the types of trouble you run into when you don't know regular expressions.
12 years is not even a full market cycle. How about 30 years. this method would have done very badly from 2000-2008 due to lack of sudden crashes combined with weak market performance. This incurs losses on both the equity part and the hedge.
The 80% number is from New York. It's not borne out by other regional data. And again, if ventilators don't help someone needs to explain why the death rate in Milan shot through the roof when they ran out of ventilators. We just don't know yet.

As for offense: I apologize again. But the "ventilators don't work" take is getting too much traction among people who do make that argument, and IMHO it needs to be shut down. It's not good science. Not yet. Let the doctors do their work.

Now they need to move on to the next problem: Leadership an governance that allowed this whole mess to happen in the first place. Without that, there's no reason the same players involved can't just pay lip service to concerns, come up with an equivalent proposal, and try this again.
The author seems to be starting with the premise that complexity is necessary.

I'm not sure I'd agree. Some complexity exists because the effort to simplify was too great. Either cost or skill prevented the refactor. As the saying goes, "sorry this letter is so long, I didn't have time to make it shorter."

I've repeatedly found that the first iteration of a solution tends to be more complex. One culprit is that sufficient abstractions were either not recognized or not implemented. Put those abstractions in, and you simplify the system.

So that refactoring step after an initial solution is created is crucial and unfortunately often just not done.

Common Wealth | Server Software Engineer (Java) | Toronto, ON, Canada | Full time | ONSITE (currently working from home) | https://cwretirement.com

Common Wealth’s mission is to improve people’s retirement by providing high-quality retirement plans through workplace communities like unions, associations, and groups of employers. We’re dedicated to helping to close the retirement security gap for the tens of millions of people who lack access to a good workplace retirement plan.

Our software helps members save better by putting their focus on income in retirement (rather than how much they’ve saved) and by encouraging change in their saving behaviours. It also helps members deploy their savings to their best advantage when they reach retirement. Our community-based plans offer better value for money via lower-cost investments and longevity risk-pooling for annuities, and are designed for portability when members change jobs.

Our founders have a long track record and have been working together for more than 10 years. We’re a small team but have signed big deals with enterprise organizations and have a solid balance sheet. We’re looking for backend engineers who can help us make the right technology decisions for our product; stack highlights are Java, ECS Fargate, Aurora.

If others reading this don't want to run their own mail server, other services offer the ability to generate suffixes (a la `+SignupPageFoo`) via other characters.

The one I use (purelymail.com) allows for underscores to serve this purpose, which will never be stripped. It's also super cheap (less than $1/month), though because of its low volume and AWS IP, my messages have a problem with getting marked as spam. The next comparable service I found that offered effectively infinite addresses was $50/year, so I fall back to gmail if I really need to send email.

The whole thing is technically interesting but legally not at all impressive or interesting. It’s almost like this was built by engineers that tried to solve a legal problem based on a view of the law informed by prime time legal television shows.
Is there some reason to think this has any kind of predictable outcome?

I'm all for good incentives but not if there is no apparent benefit.
That was quick! Happy to contribute with feedback :) Thanks for adding and congrats on an amazing product. Will definitely be using it in the future.

I'm getting really tired of these funds advertising these single event returns. Looking at their long term performance makes them look mediocre at best. There are seriously countless funds that have been betting on the next big disaster for the past 10 years and have been bleeding money out the nose and then they've made up a tiny fraction of their losses in the past month and are now like "Oh look we were right all along!"
Not sure what you're referring to. I'm saying a large percentage number in the headline is misleading. It looks cool but the reality of tail hedging is your paying up for insurance premiums.

So this 3600 percent return is based on the premium you paid? The denominator is probably small... On the order of a few million is my guess..

As someone who used to be a prosecutor, from society at large, I would have most appreciated the following.

a) Stop electing people whose platform is "tough on crime." These people come in with a mandate to do nothing but increase the number of cases on dockets and the numbers of years on sentences, both of which are extremely harmful to both the crim justice system and to society at large. This is why I would come into court every single day with an average of 6-8 trials scheduled (yes, every day), with some days bringing 14+. So what do you do with that? Well, you overcharge so you can plea them down. That's not justice. It's also why I was forced by the hand of the law to send a 20 year old with no priors to prison for 5 years after he was pressed into selling weed by the local gang and a gun was found in his room near the drugs. Someone wanted to appear tough on guns, so if a gun's found anywhere near drugs w/ intent to distribute, automatic 5 years. He was a good kid who made a mistake, his parents were crying and begging the court for mercy, his young sisters were in the back sobbing, and I had to stand there and be the representative of that law. One of the most shameful experiences of my life, and one of the things that directly led to me resigning.

b) Be okay with paying taxes. I can't even tell you the number of times every single week I would hear civilians in the courtroom complaining about how long they were stuck there. "This is where our tax dollars go??" Actually, this is where your tax dollars don't go, because there isn't enough of them to go around, so my office is stuck paying law school graduates with high loan burdens under $40k per year, and then burning them out in < 2 years because the case loads are so high.

I don't mean too sound harsh, but - the idea that other states should be funding another state's AG dept is frankly kind of ludicrous, it's not like it's a charity or nonprofit or something. The case volume they have is a direct result from the political forces at play in that state; that's true for any state. If they want more resources per case, they should lower the number of cases. That starts with the AG himself but includes the rest of the state-level government and the citizens making voting decisions.
Yes, mostly. Or put another way - the live system should be functional and show off the best parts of the "spin" so core packages should be similar.

I've never used LispWorks, but I think they have their own GUI, support, built-in logic programming (Prolog) for starters.

They also have IDE like tools that are probably ready to go outside the box. Emacs with Slime isn't for everyone (I find it to be a big initial hurdle). Although I'm sure this guy is an Uber emacs expert.

Perhaps we can summon u/lispm for an answer here. I think he possibly works for LispWorks and is usually one of the lisp users on HN & Reddit that can answer questions pretty quick.
It's not that simple. For one we don't have a formal definition of "simple" and secondly, even when we do have a definition of "simple" for certain contexts, we can never prove that something is at its' "simplest" state or not at its' "simplest" state.

For example, newtons laws of motion, seemingly is a simple solution to finding a formal method of describing motion. It seems to fit the problem but there is no way to verify that it is the simplest solution to the problem and we don't even really know what "simple" is.

We know through experimentation that relativity fits observations more accurately but even with relativity we don't know if it's the most "simple" solution or even if its' fully correct.

Because you cannot know or ever know whether a solution is at its' simplest form, there is ALWAYS an opportunity for a reduction to be discovered.

You absolutely cannot say that "The solution can be as simple as the problem but no simpler" because we don't know what "simple" is and we don't know whether or not a "simpler" solution may be discovered in the future.
His tweets have been a consistent style and sentiment for the past few days.
Exposure to the virus is how you get the virus. If there are other people at the beach, some of them might be infected, and you're being exposed by being in proximity. Maybe if you're Far Enough Away you can limit the exposure, but are people really Social Distancing on beaches and in restaurants? Evidence so far suggests the answer is no.

Incidentally there is also a lot of data out there suggesting that the virus can travel through the air a pretty reasonable distance, and it's likely to be breezy on the beach.

In any case, why would a bureaucrat want to go out of their way to close hospitals if there wasn't a good reason? Who benefits from that? Literally no one. It's only a reasonable idea because of the outbreak. The only people you see closing hospitals on purpose are vulture capitalists.

I don’t think TCO is an issue with bikes.

I would estimate the TCO of a bike to be somewhere between €15 and €50 a month†. That compares favourably to cars which would be somewhere up at €350 to €700 per month, so that’s an order of magnitude off.

If that payment can be an effective incentive to use the bike more that’s nice, I guess, but I’m not sure it can. Infrastructure would be the most important (and also most expensive) driver of bike usage if I had to guess. That’s not easily or quickly changed.

I mean, for us the cost factor definitely is relevant. We can save so much money by not having a car and there are so few situations where we would need one (if we really need one we can rent one once a year). So sure: Sometimes a car would be practical or nice to have but for that little tiny benefit it is too expensive. So, yeah, TCO does play a role – but I don’t think €50 per year change that calculus significantly if you have already decided that a car is worth it for you.

† Between €500 and €1,500 for the bike (used for five years), between €100 and €300 per year for repairs.

If the law where clear cut, yes. When the law is uncertain, it's not possible to either fully comply, or fully violate the law - avoiding "being caught" prevents legal action on an issue that may or may not be legal. That this is possible/necessary is due to the structure of the legal system.

What intensives have people to risk being a legal test case? It's clear to me those with influence over the law purposefully keep things ambiguous in order to have it both ways (threaten, without risk of being threatened) - maybe the opposing sides should be able to take advantage of the ambiguity just as much - after all, privacy is the right even of those with nothing to hide.
