The problem is that you'd have to create a copy of the internet from few years ago. Google algorithm might have become more scummy, but so has the content of the webpages and the adclick farms. I have a feeling that returning to the algorithm from years ago would make search even more useless than it is right now.

Need to add CPP (Canada Pension Plan) contributions to the taxes. That's another $2898 deducted in 2020.

Also, I threw $100k into the EY online tax calculator - https://www.eytaxcalculators.com/en/2020-personal-tax-calcul... - and it claims you'd have $77,410 left after federal and provincial taxes in BC (getting into RRSP contributions etc just makes things complicated).
The Fed buying bonds isn't pushing Tesla to the 14th largest market cap. It's currently trading $200 per share higher than any analyst recommendation that the WSJ or Yahoo has. Not to mention Hertz, a bankrupt company, has a market cap of 200 million.

Something very unusual is going on.
There is probably an interesting article to be written about how the pursuit of superficial qualities harms deep qualities. E.g. rock bands of the 70s tended to be quite ugly, but they made great music, while bands today look very good, but make terrible music.

Amusingly, Sir Ive is an example of both: back when he was a goofy mustachioed designer he came up with beautiful designs like the iMac, and then when he spent time at the gym and getting fancy T-shirts he produced … a bunch of metal-and-glass rectangles, and disaster of an HQ.

I think OPs question was if you can really collect "anonymous" analytics data from a client device without asking for consent, which you cannot really answer based on the GDPR alone. Yes, anonymous data is exempt from the GDPR, but the question is just if a HTTP request to a tracking service that contains the IP address and user agent of a persons' browser can be considered anonymous already (in most cases not). Some companies like Matomo (and Fathom, Simple Analytics, Plausible, ...) argue that you can collect tracking data without consent if you offer an opt-out to the user, I haven't been able to find a legal basis for this though. Even Microsoft asks you for consent before enabling their anonymous telemtry collection in Windows now.

I think this is eventually inevitable. After India (which is only marginally cheaper than China) Africa is the largest reservoir of potential cheap labor. When that's started to experience wage inflation there will be nowhere else to go except automation, and automation is generally oversold and is a lot harder than it seems. It's easy to automate the most repetitive 10-20% of an industrial process, but exponentially harder and/or lower margin as you move down the long tail. Most people aren't aware of just how much of the stuff they buy is still made by hand.

Then you concur that the market is being driven by FOMO and not low interest rates?
Again, this just seems like a confused perspective. Market indices measure the expected future performance of large companies, not current unemployment rates.
Why would China try these postures when the opposite country is neck deep in handling a pandemic and one which originated from its land. Is this any time for a bloody battle or power trips?. May be there is more to it than the reasoning you mentioned. Internal frictions are starting to get visible against premier due to the way he handled the covid and how much repair it has caused China globally. May be he is trying to do all this antics to shore up nationalism and create a new problem/diversion which makes covid related ones to take a back seat.

> India doesn't stand a chance in an actual conflict

If its a full blown war then may be yes. But two nuclear powers going all out and all alone will not happen so others will step in. It would complicate things for China. Ideally it should be conventional and a very short one. The rules for engagement can't be escalated, that means China has to work with severe geographic disadvantages.

I'm generally skeptical of any study of elephants because they're obviously a social species and they've been very badly mistreated for many generations. Even in cases where an individual elephant may receive a lot of attention and care from compassionate humans, that elephant may still be deprived of a healthy development by being deprived of other healthy elephants to live with. And even in cases where a group of wild elephants may have lived happily undisturbed for generations, those elephants would be inherently difficult to study in detail.

It's interesting - i very frequently recompile, running tests, etc - and i just don't have a problem with Rusts compile times. Maybe you want it more immediate than i do?

The project i'm working on now takes ~8s to compile. Perhaps too slow, but i guess it just doesn't bother me. Though i definitely want to see it improve for wider adoption, as it's clearly an issue for many people - I just have difficulty feeling the pain in this case, i guess.

edit: I imagine i compile once every 5 min of code writing. Varies by problem solving of course.
That's not open source in spirit... that's the opposite of everything open source stands for.
I work in an industry that always wants multi-source for everything. So it’s funny to me that there’s no market pressure to have a competitive 2nd source search engine.

This is a good example of how the modern philosophy of identity politics falls apart when you seriously examine it.

Think of all the ways that people are innately privileged (or not): intelligence, height, beauty, upbringing, parental wealth, personality profile.

Any combination of the above can have a vastly greater impact on a person's life outcomes than race, gender, sexuality etc.
Wait... they're using plastic bottles right now?!
The bottles I know are glass + metal top. perfect for recycling. Am I missing something?

I bought an expensive T-shirt a long time ago from a rather legit looking apparel company (nice website, LTD company/bank account).

Learned the right words on Reddit, hit up Instagram and started looking for and messaging people. Got a few replies, went with the one who had the most legit looking photos.

After a few questions on WhatsApp (yeah, really, lol) got directed to the website and bought the right item... via direct debit because their payment processor was "down".

Big risk on my part, I guess, my plan if popo called was to just say "hey I only ordered a t-shirt!"... I did not think it through very well.

Got it pretty fast (Royal Mail tracked and signed) and found a gift pack of "Revels" inside. How nice of them!

It seems rather risky for them, wouldn't it take just one guy to talk? Or maybe the seller was new to the business.

Tbf, setting up a company, bank account and shipping, all while staying anonymous is extremely easy (but not legal) in the UK compared to the rest of EU.
Added CPP. Thanks for pointing that out.
See my previous answer further up in this sub-thread. Neither Kafka nor BookKeeper require data repartitioning when adding new nodes. Instead, both require data rebalancing, which moves some data from existing nodes to the newly added nodes.

Think: repartitioning changes the logical layout of the data, which can impact app semantics depending on your application; whereas data (re)balancing just shuffles around stored bytes "as is" behind the scenes, without changing the data itself. The confusion stems probably from the two words sounding very similar.

For Kafka, you use tools like Confluent's Auto Data Balancer (https://docs.confluent.io/current/kafka/rebalancer/index.htm...) or LinkedIn's Cruise Control (https://github.com/linkedin/cruise-control) that automatically rebalance the data in your Kafka cluster in the background. Pulsar has its own toolset to achieve the same.
If you have a mandate to generate returns (institutional, pension funds), you have no choice but to participate. You can't sit in cash forever as returns race towards zero [1]. You may flail and fail looking for that Alpha (perhaps even making wild private equity bets), but that's what you're getting paid to suss out as an investment manager. “As long as the music is playing, you’ve got to get up and dance.”

For equities heavy strategies, there is even an acronym to describe this: TINA ("There Is No Alternative") [2]

[2] https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/tina-there-no-alternati... ("On the other hand, if bonds offer low yields. and illiquid assets such as private equity or real estate are also unattractive, investors may hold stocks despite their concerns rather than revert to cash. If enough participants are of the same mind, the market can experience a "Tina Effect," rising gradually despite an apparent lack of drivers since there are no other options for capital increase.")

My profs said it was whenever that last, most staunch hold out joins the market that the end of irrationality is near. Granted, that assumes exogenous demand is not ballooning the market. So I don’t know how or when this ends. What would trigger the fed to stop pouring liquid oxygen into the fire? A vaccine? A general election?

Edit-I also don’t think we’ve seen the full ramifications of the newly, long term unemployed begin to hit. Much of the current numbers assume people who were layed off for the shutdown are all coming back and paying their mortgages and other bills. Presumably there’s possibly a 3 month lag time due to earnings reports.
Lets check. I tolerate both versions, use workarounds in my .bash_profile and share them, actually tried to patch and have written article [0].

You shame software, half of it has workaround, see patching as impractical.

XDG Base Directory Specification [1] is not about your home folder. It is about default storage, separation of cache, user data and config, a way to provide another config, so one can:

* remove entire config when stuck with a problem

* remove cache, think /var/cache

* `ssh -F foo` would be `XDG_CONFIG_HOME=foo ssh`

Everyone has a pain point, everyone has a workflow, there is no One True Way. Please stop shaming authors, they quit, sometimes post it here about mob. Patching folder structure is the simplest thing. If you can't do that who is going to fix actual bugs?

Being ugly, middle aged woman is like invisibility cloak in certain work environments.

In one of my first jobs I worked with female electrical engineer like that. It took me few years to gradually discover how good she was. She had good ideas and solved problems but we somehow forgot where the idea came after we talked it over. It somehow became team effort. After someone was boasting how they had high scores in Mensa test, she just casually mentioned that she had scored 155.

I later started a company with her. The best decision I have ever made. Imagine working with Elon Musk who is enthusiastic about chess, crocheting and mushroom picking.

Expecting that you'll be able to trade gold for food is assuming that the state after the collapse will fall into a very narrow band of "collapsed enough that the financial system is gone" and "not so collapsed that the food supply is gone." You might even call it... the Goldilocks zone. ;)

My guess: the economic problem had an uncertain path to resolution. A pandemic is different. We are waiting for a vaccine; once that is available, it’s game on. I’m not saying this is the truth; however, it is a plausible way to think that investors are viewing the future.
It's not really the UFC's fault that multiple MMA promotions have also been attempted, and failed as businesses. No non-UFC promotion (Bellator, ONE, Rizin, KSW, Cage Warriors, LFA, etc.) has turned even a dime in profits in the last decade. And Bellator has signed multiple famous UFC fighters (former champs like Benson Henderson), including some (Phil Davis, Ryan Bader) at the height of their career. I don't think their ratings even budge a bit when these ex-UFC fighters are on.

I don't think the UFC should have been allowed to buy Strikeforce, and I think many of their restrictive contract provision should be struck down in court. But it's not the government's fault that none of the UFC's competitors are unable to turn a profit, and I don't really see a role for government there overall. If some business models don't work in practice, they don't work
Depends what we're talking about. A "true" memory leak (as in allocated memory that is not referenced) is not very likely.

A reference cycle with `Arc`s can happen though.

But if you're talking about Java and mediocre devs (I'm in the club- don't worry), I feel like there are no shortage of ways to make bugs with null, concurrency issues, etc, that Rust completely eliminates. You can make reference cycles in Rust, though.

Also, in Rust code you often don't have references to references to references the way you do in Java, so it's just not an issue that I'm aware of having had yet.
Hey I like it! But is it deno-only or also working on Node.js? The latter would be much much more useful for me.
> If we are using only 10% of our brains, that means a person would be fine if the other 90% of the brain got removed [...] There are instances in history when people were injured and got parts of their brain removed (although not as close as even 10%)

Actually you can do much better. There are people who had 50% of their brain removed and were fine. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemispherectomy]

And there are examples of people who lost up to 95% of their brain and still seem pretty normal. (Actually, some are claimed to be be smarter than average, leading to the suggestion that the rest of the brain is just cramping our style, but that's probably an exaggeration.)

We too found that the FT232R is unusable in bitbang mode. After much to-and-froing, FTDI support eventually acknowledged that even their later hardware revision "C" is still buggy, despite what the errata sheet implied.

I would say that most of the weirdness of Tcl is not caused by age, but because at its core it is nothing else than shell without all the tradional unix shell syntactic cruft. In the end Tcl is nothing else than shell with exactly two quoting mechanisms ("" and {}) and exactly two expansions ($variable and []), everything else is built as commands on top of this simple language.
If you have the time, and you are willing to learn, o suggest Arch Linux. It is great due to the full customization from the user, and complete control. The bad side is that you have to put in some serious time to get it up and running. It is worth it in my opinion.
I use GCP because it is the best. I believe a lot of people using Azure and GCloud because it ties in with their emails and office systems. It's the same user and auth systems.

Furthermore, most libraries make the stylistic decision of using generics and trait bounds instead of trait objects, which potentially generates faster code at the cost of slower compilation. This also has the consequence of requiring a recompilation of every dependant if that item: if you modify a root item that uses generics you will get a nice recompilation of your entire tree. Edit: working on dependency leaves though is mostly painless. If you don't work on fundamental libraries or frameworks of your system the experience becomes much better, although linking can take quite a while depending on your project.
They made it easy for the uneducated investor to invest in companies that see the spotlight on the news. You can invest in minutes and for free now, right from your phone. These people don't do any research on the company. They see news stories on the company all the time, and news stories that the stock went up XX% So when you have people casually buying stocks I feel like they get inflated past the point that makes any sense, and thus become incredibly overvalued. Seasoned investors would see this and stay far, far away from these businesses.

If the Whisky industry wants to cut down on waste, there's a really easy way to do it. Stop putting whisky into fancy cardboard/metal boxes (or at least offer a version of all your lines without the box).

Other spirits do just fine without the fancy box, it's just pure waste (apart from perhaps whisky bought for gifts)
Thanks for the clarification. Now it's clearer why you wrote the first comment.

1. I think you and I have different understanding of that myth. I was referring to the fact that people think 90% is not used at all. I might have done a poor job of emphasizing that thing, that's why we are discussing this now.

2. I haven't looked at it that way. It's an instance when the paragraph name interfered with some important concepts in the entire article... The point in "Size Does Not Matter" that I have envisioned is that being a such a small fraction of the body, the brain consumes unproportionately more energy.
