Everything about the comment above is totally incorrect when it comes to the law in the US. Just to give you a taste of how wrong this is: the case isn't even about an executive order by a governor! It's about the rulemaking of the Secretary of the Department of Health Services. Not only is the parent wrong, the opinion actually goes out of it's way in the first paragraph to say this! "This case is not about Governor Tony Evers' Emergency Order or the powers of the Governor."

> In the U.S. executive orders simply don't and can't have the force of law without the support of statutory law, not relative to civilians[0]. If you want a law, it needs to be passed as a statute by the appropriate legislature and must become law via all the usual mechanisms.

This isn't true for many reasons including: the federal government controls a lot of what happens in the country indirectly and executive orders can decide what the law means (even if that meaning goes against what the law intended). Executive orders can for example suspend immigration. That absolutely affects civilians in an extremely practical way. More fundamentally, this kind of statement totally ignores how the legal system in the US works practically. Yes, there are laws, but laws are vague and must be interpreted. The federal government makes rules that interpret laws. These rules are what the law "is" practically. There is wide disagreement about what rules a particular law allows or doesn't allow. Executive orders can and do change these rules.

> That has nothing to do with corruption or taxes, and everything to do with long-established, well-thought-out, constitutional law. Yes, we're talking about constitutional law based on past skepticism of government

This is completely and utterly false! You shouldn't say these things without reading the opinion. Neither side made this argument at all and the court narrowly ruled that the rulemaking process had not been followed correctly.

> Also, the U.S. Constitution's requirement that State governments be (small-r) republican

There is no such requirement. This was also not about federal constitutional law, it was about the constitution of Wisconsin.

> extends the constraints on the President's EO power to the States' Governors.

Absolutely not. Each state has its own constitution, the federal constitution says no such thing at all. Also this case was not about an executive order!

> the Court might well rule that the clause does mean that Governors cannot impose emergency rules without statutory support

Again, please read the opinion before you say such things. The main argument was that some details of the law had not been followed.

> This was a decision by a court, not a question of whether the people support their governments

Only in the narrowest sense. It was a decision by a party, not a court. Republicans put their judges in power and the Republican judges made a decision. In that sense the US is absolutely unlike any other democracy in the world.

This is really nice. I made my own as well, but 1/10th of yours (but free) at https://rzume.co
My personal experience was that neither Firefox’s pioneering alternative to what Chrome announces here (tab groups), nor tree style tab extension were convenient enough to use. With tab groups you obviously very quickly neglect trying to group newly created tabs and even if you, it’s not very helpful (except for sand boxing - that’s a nice thing to have). Tree style tabs were just a pain in the ass, it was constantly causing my tabs to jump around when I opened them, it seems like it was trying to reorder my tabs in the horizontal tab bar so that the ordering would mimic the tree leaves while the vertical tab bar was just useless to me, maybe simply because I could not get used this layout.
I ended up using stash tab extension, as I often have to concentrate on researching one specific thing and while I do that I don’t need any other unrelated tabs to be open, this allows me to retroactiavely group all opened tabs into different stacks and name each of them and then just stash them away like you’d do with git stash, they don’t take up any memory after that and I can return to the entire stash at some point by clicking a single button that will effectively do a git pop of the stash.
It's a bit obvious that some major cloud providers are very expensive when consumer hardware provided so much better performances compared to price for years.

But they can have such a pricing model. What they offer is good and valuable anyway. And you need to pay Jeff Bezos.

Was waiting for the first person to point out that what you get when you visit a url is not guaranteed to be the exact same on a subsequent visit.

Not seeing how url-based package management is safer when a package host can use a server that sends a special payload to certain requester ips, headers, cookies or referrer.

Until there are firm guarantees around what you get from a url, a trust-able third party is needed, even if just as an option.

I believe there's an error in your cagr function: I didn't look at how it's used too closely, but whenever you see 365 in financial code it's usually an error. It would be more appropriate to use 252, the average number of trading days for US equity exchanges, instead of 365.

I have some questions regarding the article: How are you hedging? What instrument are you hedging with?
Also, how much leverage are you taking on? If you're not selling out any original shares and shorting an equal amount of some other shares (see my first question), you're taking on 2x leverage. As such, you're not really comparing apples to apples.

Moreover, Puru Saxena is not really doing what your blog is describing. What he's doing (at least according to some Twitter posts I read), is holding a market neutral portfolio where the long side consists of specific stocks he likes and the short side an ETF to hedge the geography exposure. Because he's investing in high beta tech stocks, he can lower his beta and his geography exposure through shorting the appropriate ETF. This is a smart strategy, but is only going to work on high beta companies.

Anyways, in general, we do not want to look at returns when analyzing an investment strategy. Instead, we should look at the Sharpe ratio. While I don't have enough information to say whether your results are correct, honestly, they don't pass the smell test. I feel like the EMA window is overfit, your CAGR is being boosted by the use of 365 instead of 252, and I suspect that you are taking on leverage, which might be also boosting your returns.

Also looking at the code, it's needlessly complex because you're dealing with actual shares and such. A better method is to just deal with returns directly and represent your portfolio as a vector of weights, the sum of the absolute values should add up to zero with no leverage.

The type of hedging you describe in your example is equivalent to just selling the shares, but a little worse. You're paying interest on your shorts, so you're losing 2% annually from holding shares and shorting some other shares. There's literally no reason why you would want to hold both a long and short position on a stock.

It's no different than medieval monarchies giving Kings special protections.

If you're tasked with the public welfare you should get greater scrutiny, not be granted special privileges from it.

It's the classic case of those writing the law carving out an exception for themselves.

Someone's borrowing history at a public library has strong federal protections. Shouldn't someone's browsing history get the same treatment?
I have two kids (3 and 7) and we both work ... with multiple work meetings .. zoom based school ... homeworks ... managing fights between the kids ... and endless cooking and cleaning .. leaves me with very little time ... I told my team at work that I am at 10% of my productivity and they have been extremely supportive ...
I'm pretty certain that I'm not going to be using any new tab organization feature, if it requires me take explicit action to get the benefit. If I was reasonably capable of organizing my browsing, I wouldn't currently have 468 tabs open to start with...
It's as useful advice as:

"Should one use arms when swimming? NO! Because that can make you swim faster, and that's dangerous because you'll get to swim where you wouldn't with the arms bound on your back."

Explanation: if you haven't learned and understood enough of computer architecture, computer programming, how the operating systems work, how the libraries you use work etc, yes, please, don't use threads. Most with that background, who do simply lack the required knowledge to use them.

And if you have knowledge and experience and there is a real problem having a reasonable solution when threads are used, you don't need a site like above.

Moreover, one can acquire both knowledge and experience. But, that process, I'm quite sure, does not depend on clicking on a site having the content like the above and believing it.
> I wonder if the folks who dislike reCAPTCHA would be willing to choose to pay $1

Another commenter said that the market rate for reCAPTCHA solving is 1c each, so $1 is probably more than most would pay.
Good for you. Very impressive. Side note, I think your 2nd lesson heading has a typo:

"Not Others Asking For Help" looks like it was supposed to be, "Not Asking Others For Help."
I was wondering the same thing. Seeing his reaction to the pandemic and comparing it with Musk's would be insightful I guess.
Points #1 and #4 are evident in states who have already re-opened for business: Restaurants are seeing 80% reduction regarding in-room dining year over year, SIP orders being lifted be damned.

Point #1 was reinforced by looking at OpenTable data as well. de Blasio told people to go to restaurants, and on that same day he urged people to congregate in close quarters, reservations were down 34% year over year and had been trending down for 2 weeks.

People aren't stupid despite what the media reports, picking out groups of people to prove a point they want to push.

Furthermore, the lockdowns moved the Overton window for a lot of people, hammering it in their head that they need to practice social distancing. It's not likely going to get any stronger with government-mandated half-measure lockdowns continuing.

I see it as top comment, where is the echo chamber?

I think downvoting unhealthy positions doesn't necessarily cause an echo chamber. Is it really necessary to address every irrational, stupid, inciting, ... posting? Is really every opinion worth being respected? I don't find the op offensive but it's been repeated here many times over - does each copy need a rebuttal or response?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I don't believe in the mantra that everyone's opinion matters equally.

This works for Google because they want you to only use Chrome. That's how Google engineers work.

For the rest of us, it's a reminder of how increasingly troublesome it is that window managers are tied to the OS, and (on 2/3 of the major OSs) locked down so any third parties that want to innovate here are limited to doing it only for their own application.

This looks like just the sort of thing Dan Ingalls meant when he said "We in computer software insist on stepping on the toes of those who came before us instead of climbing on their shoulders".

Really fun, very polished! Stream of consciousness feedback:

After a few levels I found clusters of letters I was having trouble with building up over time (there was an “X” right in the middle, and like six “I”s clumped up). I found myself wishing there was some mechanic that could clear them out. Maybe that would make it too easy though.

I really love the animation when you make it to the next level, very satisfying.

A bit late to this thread but this is happening to my chrome extension right now. No idea why, I have 10,000+ users and the chrome support team just keeps emailing me the same statement with different items highlighted in bold, saying it doesn't work and the description isn't accruate.

a) It does work

b) The description is accurate

I have no idea what they want me to do and I don't have time to try and guess.

I don't get paid for my extension, so I'm just going to redirect everyone to the FireFox version now. The Chrome store will be poorer without it and that's on them.
>"Told the truth." LOL. Yep, the kind of truth that got him fired with cause so hard the NLRB wouldn't go to bat for him.

Correct, inconvenient truths. The NLRB actually agreed they were immutable facts, but stating them caused disruption; they were just making sure Google didn't break the law in firing him. Thanks for proving my point HAHAHAHAHA!!!

>Apparently, being a Harvard grad, MIT research scientist doesn't guarantee an understanding of how not to get fired.

Oh he understood, it's just higher order thinkers don't care about employment as much as being factual and correct. With his credentials he can always get another job. "It is the responsibility of intellectuals to speak the truth and expose lies." -Noam Chomsky

>Google can always replace him with another Harvard grad, MIT research scientist with a better ability to play well with others.

Another grad that's more willing to toe the line, and not speak their mind. A win for the corporatists, loss for the truth of course.

>That's the perk of being Google; you don't have to tolerate the semi-productive smart kid who alienates his co-workers with "facts" he thinks he understands but doesn't

They don't have to tolerate the exceptionally intelligent people who aren't afraid to speak the truth; they're willing to let go of those who speak the facts.

Not like you'd understand these concepts anyway, higher order thinkers don't need to toe the line to make a living :D

Serverless would work but my initial idea was more basic, simply a combination of something like:

A. DNS record (foo.example.com CNAME api.darksky.net)

B. TLS forward proxy (e.g. Cloudflare Full SSL https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/)

C. Host header rewrite (e.g. Cloudflare Page Rules https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/206652947-U...)

I'm a PhD student in CS at Caltech. The single biggest factor that determines whether you will get in is whether a well-known researcher writes a strong recommendation for you. I expect that it will be difficult to make the case to accept someone from a virtually unknown program like the University of Chile when there are so many qualified applicants from top American schools. Just to be clear, I'm not saying you are unqualified, only that you will have to compete with "safer bets" who look stronger on paper.
I miss that time too. The smartphone revolution has been the best thing the world has seen ever since the Internet. I wonder when the next big thing arrives.
What do you mean? Typescript by default assumes non-null, and if you specify that something can be null it'll force you to check that it isn't before attempting to access it.
Your resolver may not always permit this sort of thing, and that would just obfuscate what they're doing a step further which may come across as sneaky.

I doubt it is at all common in end user environments, but unbound for instance can be configured to prevent local IPs from being resolved in other domains. It's a good practice to follow in a datacenter environment if you're connecting out to hostnames you resolve from DNS you don't control.
