These days, using JavaScript outside of the browser sort of implies Node.js, in the same way that using Python implies that you're using CPython, unless you specify otherwise. In theory your distinction makes sense, but in practice, very few people are using anything but Node.js for backend JavaScript systems (at least for new projects).

> a lot more movies encouraging giving money to artists

Doesn't sound like a bad thing, IMHO.

> tipping large sums of money

This would kind of suck, given the stupidity of current North American tipping norms. But I'm not sure whether they could actually manage to communicate "the existing tipping system should be venerated" during an experience that directly involves exposure to/use of a different tipping paradigm. It'd be like watching a movie about monarchy, as the result of the audience holding a democratic vote on what movie to watch.

To be clear, it's a "different tipping paradigm" because of these properties:

• tipping would be entirely optional, in a selfish-pragmatist sense: there's no way in which a lack of tipping would get you blackballed from the theatre or even given a bad look, because the tips don't go to the theatre or its employees;

• you'd be tipping a collective of unseen workers far away who produced the experience a while ago, rather than tipping an individual close-by who did the work just now;

• there would be no possibility for tipping to get you individually a better quality of service, because your tip would be anonymized through the hub-and-spoke (studio-theatre-audience) delivery model. The studio would just see a pile of tip money, at best traced back to particular theatres.

Really, it's more equivalent to how film-festivals ask for donations; but they'd be asking for donations on behalf of the movie maker, rather than for themselves.

> targeted at rich people who have the money to give large tips

This is true, but 1. I'm not sure it's worse than whatever kind of targeting we have right now given the system's current inventives (which would be... cinematic populism?); and 2. this would put film in line with most of the arts, which generally run off of commissions/patronage.

Society doesn't generally outright reject the output of those fields of endeavor, despite their being mostly tuned to the tastes of their (rich) clients/patrons.

(Society does feel more "detached" from such works, though; there's a lot of "I don't get it" in art galleries, mainly because many works were created to be understood mostly by the patron and the social-milieu of people they showed it to, rather than by any passerby.)

What are these differences between social democratic capitalism and laissez-faire capitalism that are so fundamental that Marx would not recognize the former as capitalism? We still have class relations defined by how we participate in economic relations. If anything, the extensive financialization of modern capitalism really exaggerates just how subordinate _all_ of us are, proletariat and bourgeoisie alike, to the logic of concentrated capital which seeks to increase in its concentration.

And is it really fair to call the capitalism of Marx's time "laissez-faire" when the government coordinated very closely and heavy-handedly with the bourgeoisie to develop capitalism further (for example, land reform, imperialism)? I will take the position that laissez-faire is an ideological definition of capitalism that never described actually existing capitalism and could never for long. After all, all those prole revolts of Marx's time that were squashed were squashed by the state on behalf of the bourgeoisie. If they did not have a state to rely on, they would invent one. And if a state emerged that would oppose them, they would seek to destroy and replace it. So it goes.

But it would be impossible for me to defend such a position in the confines of a thread because I would have to scour the entire history of capitalism and show how involved the state was in creating and preserving a world suited for bourgeois hegemony. It would easily be thousands of pages and I would just be recapitulating dozens of scholarly works.

Intel actually failed at least twice at this. More recently with Larabee and the Xeon Phi saga that got us AVX-512, and maybe Intel Xe saves it.

But in the late 80s and early 90s they actually had the i860 and its variants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_i860

which contained a graphics processor! That wasn't a particular success but it landed us the MMX ISA on x86.

Surprisingly enough, Intel went then to make similar mistakes with Itanium, and then with Larabee. But both things landed us features on x86.

no, most strategies necessarily will be losers if not near the efficient frontier. trades average out to the market.

the parent, maybe mistakenly, stated any strategy will have average returns, but consider the naive strategy of putting all of your money in a small number of (often highly correlated) stocks. that trading strategy will underperform the market on average.

Your theory only works with a perfectly efficient market. In practice, even without commissions, there are many other sources of inefficiency in the market that act to reduce your returns every time you trade.

The bid/ask spread is an example of such an inefficiency. Take a hypothetical case where you just buy and sell the exact same stock over and over, but the price of the stock never changes. Every time you complete a bid or sell order, you would lose an amount equal to the gap between the bid and ask prices. Repeat the cycle enough times, and you will lose all your money, but the stock price will never have changed. What's the opposite of this strategy? To never trade at all?

The idea that you can just reverse a losing trading strategy to come up with a winning strategy is absurd, because it completely disregards the entropy inherent to an inefficient system.

What if you couldn't get into that elite law or business school for whatever reason? Your door to the elite law firm could be closed, permanently.

The lawyer probably doesn't have to refresh the fundamentals of law and grind legal cases constantly, but then again, the lawyer in the small unimpressive law firm likely has no chance, ever, to get into a top law firm.

My principle point was to make known that immediate layoffs without notice or compensation are not something all employees are required to immediately and unconditionally accept. Know and assert your rights.

Searching "warn notice layoffs bankruptcy" gives some additional information.

A bankrupt firm virtually always has assets. The question is how these are distributed amongst creditors. Inclusive of employees.
Two counterarguments:

1) Trading fees. If the house takes a cut of 0.1% on every transaction, then on average those who trade more lose more money.

2) Risk/reward tradeoff. If you buy deep out-of-the-money options, you might have a 5% chance of profitability, but expected return of $0 (neither positive nor negative). 95% of the time you lose $X, and 5% of the time you make $19X. If traders are pursuing riskier strategies, you'd expect most of them to lose money.

I was keeping tabs on the Python plugin for a couple of years (but stopped checking in about a year ago) and Python3 was advertised as "supported" the whole time, but no one was able to get it working. There were a number of open issues, none with any action on them.

And while Nix has an insane learning curve, figuring out how to extend Bazel (and consequently build one's own Python plugin) was a nightmare. The documentation was unhelpful/incomplete and the codebase was incomprehensible and poorly organized, with inheritance sprinkled on everything for its own sake (which is to say, par for the course for Java apps).

I know... "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth! / Don't complain about open source software!" Fair enough, but I don't have to use it, and I'm free to caution others not to as well.

This is not why the 90/50 contrast exists.

It exist due to "absorption barriers", due to the ergodicity of the process - betting too big and hitting "uncle points".

It's a bias present in most people, especially otherwise intelligent people: not understanding that there is a huge difference between expected value and ergodic properties. Between expected returns and risk. Just look up what VaR is, the concept is ridiculous, yet so widely used.

That's not a helpful way of looking at things since individuals do not trade the average strategy. They trade whatever theory they are seeking to validate, which is too often "their gut" or the latest technical analysis woo. These people are cannon fodder for algorithmic traders and market makers. The average of all retail trader strategies is definitely not the market.

Well that would be a start but I think it's pretty obvious you would want to base subscribers' voting power on duration of subscription, community involvement/contribution, their standing in the community and so on. This way you would avoid other communities subbing solely to influence the outcome of an election.

I think it would be pretty neat to include metadata in the calculation of the voting power metric as well. Such as how each subscriber votes in relation to other subscribers and assign a higher score to those who vote inline with the community. The goal being to optimize for those subscribers who embody the spirit of the community. Of course that brings up issues of echo chambers but other kinds of metadata could be factored in to offset that too. I would have to think on it for a while to come up with something I felt was as meritocratic as possible.

A company will pay as little as it can to any employee. Including Peter Norvig. Peter Norvig's minimum acceptable offer is just far higher than Average Joe/Jane Progammer's minimum.

Right now, LCoL area employees complain about getting paid less in absolute terms. If they get bumped up to HQ payscales, the HCoL-area employees will (rightly) complain that they're now being paid less in relative terms than the LCoL-area folks, despite producing the same value as them. So there's no winning, no "fair" answer.

This is a tool based on a FSM (Finite State Machine) that restricts the next input in the sequence in order to obey Japanese grammar. The state machine at the top of the screen changes highlighting to show which state one is currently in, with blue states the default and green states accepting. Even beginners can use such a tool to generate authentic Japanese because the FSM will block out a lot of bad input by how it works.
