> Is it really that difficult a concept? Comcast charging Netflix for access to Netflix's customers, when Netflix's customers are paying Comcast for Internet access, is bullshit.

I agree, that it's bullshit, but please consider:

A telephone company charges me to have a phone line and per minute to place and receive calls, and charges whoemever I'm conversing with to have a phone line, and to call me.

If Comcast wasn't large enough for Netflix to want peering, Netflix would probably use paid transit to get there (they might even use paid transit that Comcast would also have to pay for).

So, the reason it's bullshit can't be because Netflix has to pay for a service that Comcast is providing; because paying for network services is the norm. The reason also can't be because Comcast is charging both ends of the connection for the service it is providing to both, namely connecting the two parties; because both sides paying for connectivity is the norm in telecommunications.

There's some other reason it's bullshit. A big factor, of course, is that internet video services compete with the ISPs video services, and there's some implicit unfairness there. I would say it's because the residential customer is stuck with a very limited set of choices, and can't pick an ISP that distinguishes itself with open peering. It might be because the norm for internet peering is if there is a significant imbalance in traffic, the party sending the most pays; so the residential ISPs should be paying their residential customers; this one doesn't quite work, because it's not actually a peering relationship, and the norm is transit customers pay the transit provider for traffic in either direction.

> Sure, behind the scenes there are backbone providers and peering arrangements and BGP, but those are technical details. Network neutrality means as a consumer I pay an ISP and get connected to the Internet.

The problem here is there is no "the Internet" to connect to. An ISP needs to connect to substantially all of the other networks; and while a small ISP may simply use a single upstream ISP, where it would be easy for the small ISP to be neutral (bits in = bits out), a larger ISP is going to have a diversity of connections, and that's going to lead to defacto non-neutrality as some connections are bigger than others, and some connections are longer than others, and some connections are more expensive than others.

I fully understand the desire to restrain residential ISPs (and mobile ISPs) from anti-competitive behavior; I guess network neutrality might work for that.

But, when you apply it to other networks, it doesn't seem to make sense. In this case, you have a group of networks that would like to lower costs, both for themselves, and their customers, and they've agreed to settlement free peering, and to also not charge customers for bandwidth on the settlement free links. Network neutrality doesn't really speak towards the interconnection, but says that customers should be charged the same rate for all bandwidth, even when the underlying costs are different. I don't understand why that's a good thing in this case?
> Sales tax is different in every country, and in the US it is even different per state.

I use Paddle for https://www.checkbot.io/ and they handle all country specific tax for you. They take 5% + $0.50 per transaction which is relatively high but you need to weigh up your priorities.

Similarly, Fastspring and Gumroad are worth looking at.

I look down upon people who look down upon people for their technology choices and would never willingly work with such assholes. Your point is irrelevant because those are people I have no interest in working with. To look down upon others (rather than a language) indicates that one is a complete idiot, asshole, and someone I'd rather not meet. Better those people self select out of my life when they hear php because they would clearly be a detriment to me and to anyone who isn't a moron like them. Not to mention unprofessional, naive, and arrogant.

I don’t know a good option.

If I were to upgrade I’d reluctantly get a 16” 64G mbpro. I keep sacrificing on size in exchange for build quality and specs.

The China Hustle[1] is a great documentary about the systemic securities fraud committed by Chinese companies selling into the American markets in a way that allows them to avoid much of the disclosure and due diligence typically required. It follows investors from the Muddy Waters firm mentioned in the this article and was made by the same group who did documentary version of The Smartest Guys in the Room.

I believe the film is currently streaming on Hulu.

I have heard a number of people complain about the cross-compilation situation with the OS X/iOS ecosystem. The solution everyone wants is for Apple to support Windows or Linux (honestly that sounds like it would be a shorter put) as first class citizens in their tool chain.

But I could also see Apple providing hardware by the day or month in a data center. They would have to reintroduce the X server for that, though.

Rather than go full X Server, a little tweak to the Mac Pro would make it fit in a 6u rack slot on its side. It's millimeters too wide for that, and the cover is wrong. I wonder if a different skin could do it...

They're the only provider if you're not willing to spend several thousand per year. Beware that a lot of their info is scraped from other sources and does not have accuracy guarantees.

Random question but is this Tel from the east coast? (wont name the city to respect anonymity). Think we worked together before :)

Depends how new you are to it all, but assuming you just know basic trading stuff (what a bid/offer is, what options greeks are, etc..). Everything I do is stat arb type of trades. My path won't be the same as yours, but here's how I started.

What I did...

- read literally every link and topic under https://www.investopedia.com (the education tab -> investing trading section on the right)

- quantopian.com - look under the learning tab. I went through all the material - literally all of it. There's a series of Lectures that explains a ton

- quantconnect.com - I went through all their tutorials. Read through the existing strategies to get a feel for everything and gain insights - https://www.quantconnect.com/tutorials/strategy-library

- Absorbed almost everything Ernie Chan has written. This was the first book that got me interested in all this - https://www.amazon.com/Quantitative-Trading-Build-Algorithmi...

I read a _ton_ and played around with lots and lots of data to try and get my systems working. Still no where near where I'd like to be, but been profitable since the beginning (minus a giant loss on some gambles I took - I no longer trade discretionary because of this). The links I pasted above are what I'd consider the "easy" part of all this, anyone can read and learn. Learning the more in-depth stuff around specific topics is harder, but I have a bunch of books (willing to share some recommendations if you need).

Once you progress, you'll find specific areas you're interested in (equity options, commodity futures, spread trades, fixed income/bonds, etc.. ).
I love your setup. This was my setup at my first software job. I would never actually use the keyboard and mouse of the machine but I would remote into it and forward X to my Windows PC.
I did the consumer 3700X. The Asrock micro ATX x570 board worked w/o problems. Well, except for the fact I bought "registered memory" instead of ECC....wooops. But once corrected I haven't had any problems. Had to throw in a GeForce 1030 card for monitor support but has been running Ubuntu for admitted basic fileserver needs w/o a hitch.

I assume the more common consumer processors have been tested more than the thread ripper ones, being they are more common and out longer.
Right- with JS the developer has little insight into or control over what interpreter will be used to run the code, so with Ruby I think there are fewer advantages to portability.

My bigger issue is that this shifts control over the language from Matz and the community to the maintainers of this transpiler. Maybe they decide they want to support something like the ++ operator as a workaround to Matz's insistence that it should not be the language. Then what?

As an outsider that has done some reading, I believe the biggest thing it still needs is simulcast support, and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1210175 tracks that for H.264 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=simulcast is barebones, 1210175 is more interesting).

> Instead, we have a minority running roughshod over the majority.

No, we have government that is more limited in what it can do because of lack of consensus between different parts of it (the President, Senate, and House). Which is exactly what should happen if the country is closely divided.

> Trump was elected with 46.1% of the vote to Clinton's 48.2%.

Which indicates that neither side has a majority, let alone enough of a majority to justify running roughshod over everyone else (which IMO is a lot more of a majority than just 51%).

> The government has already shown it can't be trusted to care for us.

Insofar as socialist medicine is concerned, the US VA is quite good. I do not have the same confidence across the general population. I do believe there is evidence that the incompetence at the executive level has too much sway over something like a national medical plan for citizens and I would not be trusting by default.
Just because they are not doing their own hardware does not mean that they don't test their drivers/firmware.

> In 80% of known cases, COVID-19 causes mild to moderate illness, according to a report of a joint World Health Organization-China mission of 25 infectious disease experts held in China late last month.

> At a press conference on March 9, Maria Van Kerkhove, technical lead of the WHO Health Emergencies Program, said: "[A] mild infection starts normally with a fever, although it may take a couple of days to get a fever. You will have some respiratory symptoms; you have some aches and pains. You'll have a dry cough. This is what the majority of individuals will have."

It's not simply a function of the genre. I find that Hungarian investigative journalism articles tend to start with matter of fact things, like "we have uncovered the XYZ. As you may know, politician XYs connections came under scrutiny recently. We met an informer who..." While the German equivalem would start "we are sitting in a café just outside the Cathedral, as the cars wizz by on a rainy Tuesday. The documents are all prepared in a big red folder and Herr Schmidt looks at us perhaps a bit anxiously."

I'm not a writer, but that's the jist. They are often the same length, but German articles are much more pondering, feeling, moralizing, moody and focuses on personalities and making the reader be part of the story, like a novel.

In Hungary this is regarded more as beating around the bush. Just give us the facts and the actual story, like how the guy did his fraud etc, not the story of the journalist uncovering it etc. It's obviously not as extreme as I wrote above but strikingly noticeable.

I want to figure out who to talk to on both Firefox and Chrome sides to beg that they adopt a scheme like YYYY.MM.minor for their version numbering. I believe that would be superior for basically everyone—web developers, users, &c. (In the case of Firefox, it works especially well since they’re releasing approximately monthly now. I could imagine people on Chrome puzzling over why some month numbers got skipped—not that people actually look at those numbers often.)

"Soviet Union couldn't just print dollars like US can."

Any country can print more currency according to Modern Monetary Theory. Also, from Wikipedia:

"The production of Soviet rubles was the responsibility of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise, or Goznak, which was in charge of the printing of and materials production for banknotes and the minting of coins in Moscow and Leningrad. "

If you are trying to draw some sort of conclusion from the idea that the US is an international reserve currency - that has nothing to do with printing money. You can further read the "Economic role" section to understand that the USSR currency was not pegged to PMs or baskets of securities, making it easier to "just print".
