Well, this is where we really get to the "low effort/high impact" philosophy: The bots don't look for circles. That's too hard/I'm too lazy. So they do something much easier, and generally better: They look for a net change in heading equal to 4*360 degrees.

(defn curviness
"Computes the total curvature of a sequence of headings."

This is what allows the bots to find interesting activities I didn't think of ahead of time.
Epic is specifically arguing that Apple's policies violate the Sherman Act, the California Cartwright Act, and the Unfair Competition Law of California. For more information, refer to the complaint: https://cdn2.unrealengine.com/apple-complaint-734589783.pdf
Sure. The trading is done in lower volume assets like non S&P 500 and Options market. This is actually the orders where Robinhood gets most of its money. Say you put up trades and stop loss and trailing stop loss. These orders are sent to and purchased by Robinhoods customers (Citadel and Virtu). Citadel and Virtu act like dealers. They take the opposite side of your trade and also know where your stop losses are. Because these are lower volume stocks, they can push prices around, force you to sell at a loss and then prices go back to where they were a few moments ago.

This link describes what is going on.

This happens all the time in forex markets. During lower volume periods, they go after the stop losses. Only market where this doesn't really happen is futures because all trades occur on a centralized exchange.

My recommendation switch to a broker like Tradestation and route your trades through the IEX exchange to avoid getting duped.

This is insulting. Is there a specific part of the zero/one explanation that you found confusing?
I don't think there is consensus that decoherence = measurement. This is a sophisticated experiment that controls the level of position information being "radiated" to the environment. But Born's rule and the measurement postulate are still baked into the fact that you are then measuring the interference pattern.

One thing I never quite understood about the decoherence argument for resolving the measurement problem is that it forces the "collapse" to happen with local interactions. This of course makes sense since you want to think of a measurement as a "normal", unitary process. This means the environment has to "enact" the projection operator through interactions. If you have the most basic EPR pair, how can this happen? How can you decohere the wave function of the spacelike separated counterpart (B) by locally measuring the other spin (A) and then letting the environment project out the state of B through local interactions? In this experiment https://arxiv.org/pdf/1511.03190.pdf they have two detectors 60 meters apart in a subbasement of a castle. What are the interactions in those hallways that are carrying the correlation from the decoherence/measurement on one side of the experiment to the other, faster than light to maintain the correlations. This seems too basic of a question so I don't know if I'm just missing something obvious, but to me it seems like a pretty straightforward argument that the collapse cannot happen through decoherence. I've only dug out one random paper that mentioned this argument with very little subsequent referencing of it.
I took a sabbatical from work in 2017 and devoted that time to creating an open source project which I felt was important to exist in the world. I am not wealthy, nor was anyone else supporting me; I had saved up enough to take a year off, and instead of travelling or learning the saxophone, I spent my time developing software that I released under GPL.

I guess because I was not living hand-to-mouth, I didn't "need" the money? But I wound up nearly going into debt, because it took another year to get a job after that--turns out that maintaining an open-source project is not an asset for employers but a liability. I had an offer from a HugeCo for decent money, but I turned it down because it would basically have precluded me from working further on this project which is only now starting to walk on its own.

It's not my entire working life, by any stretch, but those 2 years were 5% of it, and I figure that cost me $200k+ in "lost" wages. And that does not count all the "free" time I've spent since, fixing bugs and helping people use it, because I love the thing and I want other people to love it too. I'm glad I created it, it's very useful to me and other people who do data exploration in the terminal, but now I have to accept that I probably won't ever recover any significant amount of that value, because...people don't pay for open-source software.
> Surely not a religious saint when religiosity is declining and sainthood is suspect.

Are you talking about the UK specifically? The world as a whole is more religious than ever: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/aug/27/religion-why-is...

> And while the religiously unaffiliated currently make up 16% of the global population, only about 10% of the world’s newborns were born to religiously unaffiliated mothers between 2010 and 2015.

> China has seen a huge religious revival in recent years and some predict it will have the world’s largest Christian population by 2030. The number of Chinese Protestants has grown by an average of 10 % annually since 1979, to between 93 million and 115 million, according to one estimate. There are reckoned to be another 10-12 million Catholics.

It's certainly bad for Monsanto's bottom line if people eat less monocropped processed food, and more pastured meat (note this isn't an attack on GMO).

There's no toxic fertilizer, no proprietary seeds or pesticides to sell. In fact, there's pretty much nothing that you need to raise pastured animals, other than trucks and fencing.

As a college student, sometimes I don't buy cheese, or I buy $3 gouda, or $6 gouda. arguably any money spent on cheese is an extravagence, one that could wait for my career. But, I spend money on things that are enjoyable, and I spend more when I have more. "lifestyle inflation" isn't something that everyone richer than you does in order to buy more yachts or useless shit, it's something that literally everyone does. There are people poorer than you who "waste" their money on things they enjoy. perhaps they should also pay higher taxes because some third party has decided that their spending is frivolous? Tax rates should consider the well being of the citizens in that bracket, and a serious consideration of well being will require good faith- not condemning discretionary spending as unnecessary.
This entire branch of physics is the equivalent of a geo-centric earth model.

Tesla based his entire electric theory on the Aether.

This theory was wrongly suppressed by results of a Michelson Morley experiment...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson%E2%80%93Morley_

...which failed to measure Aether-Drift because of the fact that it was done in a basement, and which was later contradicted by Dayton Miller when he repeated the experiment on a mountain top:

http://www.orgonelab.org/miller.htm

This scientific tragedy, likely done by powerful oligarchs, set the progression of physics back 100 years. We now have fraudulent branch of particle physics, which has a terrible track record with pretty much every prediction it has made, and which would be laughed out of the scientific community if it weren't for the sustained push by the mainstream media to hammer it into the minds of intellectuals.

We've been told that light has a set speed of propagation, yet time after time there are articles posted about light exceeding the speed of light for example gamma ray jets from quasars, which is explained by positing that the space-time fabric is moving and causing the reference frame containing the light wave to increase it's speed above the limit.

https://www.sciencealert.com/faster-than-light-speed-in-jets...

The media has become so twisted that we now accept completely broken interpretations such as virtual particles (used to balance equations), string theory (completely made up and didn't work), multiple universes, time travel and a smorgasbord of hilarious interpretations from a fundamentally broken model of physics.

This article is just yet another desperate attempt to patch up this hilariously outdated physics branch. Einstein physics is on it's way out. And when it comes crashing down we will replace it with the work of Tesla and we will move faster in one decade the entire previous 150 years.
The AGPL section 13 isn't about conveying the program itself, it's about making it available as a service for network interaction. It may be just a one paragraph difference, but that difference is what makes the AGPL into an EULA. It's a requirement on users. The GPLv3 has zero requirements on users, only on distributors.

You might think this is a valid clause to include, and like its effects, and that's fine (though a close reading of that AGPL clause reveals a myriad of problems; it's extremely poorly thought-out and I find it unlikely that it would survive in court if properly challenged, with many workarounds possible, or causing problems for normal usage, depending on interpretation). But it doesn't change the fact that, suddenly, it makes it into an EULA, since it imposes a condition on usage, not distribution.

The GPL and other Free Software licenses strictly give you rights. You have no right to copy software by default under copyright. Those licenses give you the right to do so, subject to certain conditions.

The AGPL removes rights. It removes the right to use (not distribute) the software as you wish if you do not follow certain conditions (that you don't modify it without making those modifications available to remote users who are otherwise not receiving a copy of the program anyway, and not invoking copyright).

Linux distributions should be including the AGPL as a click-through license when users request to install such software from the repositories. In the current status quo, users are required to abide by terms they haven't been required to read, and might accidentally violate the license by doing something that is otherwise legal, such as editing a script in /usr that is part of such an app and exposing it over the Internet.
The companies running it have their own stake in it as well - especially Apple since curation is part of their business model. There is no entitlement to a business model nor market - as tempting as a given juicy market may be.

> but Pages and Numbers seem to deviate from the traditional UI for word processors and spreadsheets

Good. Overloaded toolbars suck. Hundreds of undecipherable icons instead of text sucks. Excessive modal dialogues for things like advanced paragraph styling, bullet formatting, spacing, indentation, and page layout sucks.

The best thing iWork ever did was take all the things that were hidden and put them in plain sight without oodles of near-identical icons trying to represent abstract concepts, with good ol' plain text and hierarchisation in NeXTSTEP-style floating inspectors.

iWork's best UI was in '09 (and maybe a few versions before, though I don't remember them all that well) with the floating inspectors. They showed everything in a usable, vertical format, same as the current inspector panels, but easily movable. They still exist to in modern iWork, though I find it has too many top-level sections.

The pièce de résistance of iWork '09 was the context-sensitive toolbar beneath the customisable NSToolbar: depending on what you had clicked on, it would show different tools so that you didn't have to constantly click through the inspector's various sections. Best of all, it wasn't some weird floating palette that randomly seemed to fade in and out as in Microsoft Office; it was always there, glued to the top of the window. The hand knew exactly where to go.

You could do most of the basic formatting tasks using just the toolbar. I mourn its loss. Maybe one day Apple will bring it back.

The inspectors gave you what the ribbon tried to do, logically ordering all the myriad tools available; the context-sensitive toolbar filled the gap that the inspectors made, making it so you didn't have to constantly switch between inspector sections. To me, that was bliss. Current iWork is close but it was better as it was.
Oh god this is the same argument rolled out by opponents of socialised healthcare. If it's free then you are forcing the doctor to work for no pay!
Stop splitting hairs over the meaning of 'free' in this context. It is free to the end user, it is not free to the developer or maintainer.

I make christmas hampers for the poor, I call them free hampers. Of course they are not free, but to the end user they are.

And no, people are not going to start using the word libre, it is not an English word and it is not used widely enough outside of computing and it will probably not catch on.

The physical cards cost money to produce and the retail stores will insist upon a decent cut. And then the cards are often discounted by 10, 15 or even 20%.
Yes, you can. Vanguard is a brokerage, just like E-Trade, Schwab, Fidelity, etc. They provide all sorts products, such as IRAs.

A good reason to use Vanguard as a company is their mutual funds. (Though you can trade Vanguard mutual funds elsewhere, they'll usually come with transaction fees.) Mutual funds are arguably superior to ETFs for many investors, in a few ways.

* Mutual funds are fractional by nature — you can trade as little as $1. Right now, only a very small handful of brokers support fractional shares of ETFs.

* Since MFs aren't traded as whole units, you can set up automatic investing. Let a certain % of your paycheck go into the MF every month. Not possible with ETFs on most platforms, a notable exception being M1.

* Since MFs only settle their NAV once a day, you're discouraged from compulsively checking your portfolio every few hours. If the market is temporarily down, you won't see it reflected in real time. Some people consider the real-time aspect of ETFs superior, but for long-term investing, this lack of an instant dopamine rush means it's easier to just not think about it. Fewer emotional decisions.

* Mutual funds can be "funds of funds". Regulations prevent ETFs from doing the same thing. A good example of a FoF is Vanguard's target date retirement funds, which are nearly exactly equivalent to a Boglehead-style three-fund portfolio.

MFs have a reputation for being expensive, but Vanguard's have some of the lowest fees on the market. MFs also can be tax-inefficient, but Vanguard has patented a loophole that makes them as efficient as ETFs when held in a taxable account.

Vanguard is also a great company; easily my favourite investment company. Its ownership structure is inverted: The company is collectively owned by its funds, which means that you, as a MF shareholder, will own a part of Vanguard.

Note: The above points about MFs are largely moot with robo advisors like Betterment.

> No where close. POWER10 caps out at 60x SMT4, and only has 2x 128-bit SIMD units per SMT4. That's 480 FLOPs per clock cycle. At 4GHz, that's only 1.9 TFlops single-precision compute.

Too late for me to edit this: but POWER10 has a full 128-bit vector unit per slice now. So one more x2, for 3.8 TFlops single-precision on 30x SMT8 or 60x SMT4.

So I was off by a factor of 2x in my earlier calculation. Power10 has a dedicated matrix-multiplication unit, but I consider a full matrix-multiplication to be highly specialized (comparable to a TPU or Tensor-core), so its not really something to compare flop-per-flop except against other matrix-multiplication units.
Keynote was originally made for Steve Jobs to make his keynote presentations with. It became a shipping product later. I'm fairly sure it was the first product in the iWork line, from its time of conception, but don't quote me on that.

I'm on the other side of the planet in Northern Europe, and I feel the same. This summer has been very warm, it feels more like we are in some Mediterranean city (especially with all the outdoor seating due to COVID). We haven't had any record breaking highs, but the number of days when it has been 30c+ has been very unusual. Coupled with last winter which basically never came (usually we get -25c and frozen lakes; that never happened), we'll see what this year brings...
