You may be confusing HFT with algorithmic trading in general.

You also disregard my whole point about just how high the HF in HFT needs to be. One can easily imagine a market that operates in rounds of blind auctions, one auction per second or one per minute or something along those lines. This would take out a lot of the arms race, and it's implausible that spreads would be much higher in such a market in a way that would hurt other investors: after all, you'd still expect competition between participants in a way that drives their profits down.

> A big part of the reason why there's been an almost universal reduction in fund management fees, saving retirement savers an enormous amount of money over the last 10 years or so is this reduction in spreads.

That makes zero sense. A significant loss due to higher spreads wouldn't show up in fund management fees, it would just show up as lower returns of the fund before management fees.

> If anything, HFT is more productive per unit of labor, relative to other sectors of society - that's why the compensation is so high!

That's at least doubtful. I would argue that compensation in HFT is high because it sits adjacent to large streams of money. In practice, a lot of compensation is ultimately about siphoning small fractions away from the streams of money you're near to, and the size of that stream makes more of a difference than almost anything else, but that's really only a form and function of power -- it doesn't correlate with how productive you are to society. (I suppose if you just define productivity as compensation per hour worked, as economists often do, then what you say is strictly speaking true, but it's also kind of circular and therefore meaningless.)
Thanks for the shoes. They served me well.
Went a very sim route with Serverless and Terraform. Things we couldn't afford to lose went into Terraform(RDS instances, Kinesis, etc). AWS resources that were more coupled to the individual services and could be deleted and recreated went into the serverless configs.

A large reason for this was that we couldn't trust CloudFormation or Lambda to not require blasting away and recreating resources. At least at the time it was not uncommon for a stack to get "stuck" or a lambda function to stop having it's EINs properly configured(essentially stuck).
The job of a PhD advisor is to guide the student to become an independent researcher. That is: someone able to conceive of research-worthy ideas, separate the good from the bad, execute the research and write it all up in a paper.

I have seen very hands-off approaches and very structured approaches. Both have their merits and pitfalls: the first may leave a student stranded in the proverbial forest, while the second may turn into nothing more than a 4 year long series of related tasks to be executed, set at day one, with no input from the student.
On the other hand, I've also seen both approaches work well.

Basically, you want a daily supervisor that cares, and with whom you have a click.

Tell HN: AGI Will Be Underwhelming
When it happens, I think we'll get used to it pretty fast and we'll be like, "Oh, that's all it is."

Then everyone can order groceries and plan trips by voice conversation with a smart assistant that actually knows us.

And it will become productized and have tiers and specialities but AGI is not going to be any more "OMG my life is changed foreveaah" type watershed than, say, the iPhone.

Don't. Believe. The. Hype.

That's my take. What do you thinK?
An SPAC lets the company negotiate a firm, fixed price, whereas an IPO is (semi) exposed to the market. Of course that comes at a cost - the company accepts a lower average price in return for reducing its risk. You can understand why that has become a bit more appealing in the last few months.
At the same time, if you look at the police-involved deaths per capita, our neighbors are countries like Iraq and Mali. Other nations in the developed world (and even many who are not) have rates that are far, far lower. The US clearly has something tragically wrong with its policing system.

Also, if you think police can just beat people senseless because they feel challenged then you're just a short step away from text book fascism.
And the Kinect 2 launched in 2010 with a LIDAR.
What a bampot!
IvyMike says>The initial "hcq works" was also independent of any actual scientific research or result.<

No, there were Chinese, French and other reports and observational studies during the pandemic that supported use of HCQ:

>"Wuhan was the epicenter, and the Chinese physicians at the People’s Hospital of Wuhan University told their Western counterparts that they got the idea of using HCQ because none of the 178 patients they had admitted for COVID-19 had lupus—a surprise, since lupus is an immune disease, and some thought it might have made these patients especially vulnerable. They wondered why this might be, and whether HCQ, which these patients had been taking for this preexisting condition, might in some way be protecting them against COVID-19."<

Planning simplified by making recommendation system more useful for users
At XOKind (xokind.com), we want to make recommendation systems more useful and thoughtful to users, especially when it comes to making bigger decisions where users need high-quality recommendations the most. For example, travel planning happens infrequently with pretty dynamic context (who you travel with, for what purpose, what the destination has to offer, special considerations), where typical recommendation engines don't really surface high-quality and explainable recommendations. (Typical systems that recommends movies/music/news just don't get sufficient historical behavior data in these use cases.) As a result, everyone has to search online, go through zillions of links in order to find good options.

We would like to build a product that connects search and recommendation, where users can express their requirements naturally, the system can then retrieve and assemble relevant information, and help users understand why recommendations are offered so they can make informed decisions faster. And the system should be optimized to get the job done, not to maximize users' attention.

More details on our vision and progress in this blog (https://medium.com/xokind/3-ways-to-improve-recommendations-6c600e1a08c0).

How helpful do you think this system is in enabling you to do travel planning? What types of search queries would you like to use to plan trips and leisure activities? Please let us know here or at this link: https://xokind.com/find.html !

Question, why was DDT never tried in Africa if it was so successful in Florida and also in Italy after WW2? Why don’t we use DDT today? I’m curious to know the answers and have better understanding of the complexity of what makes eradicating malaria in Africa in the 21st century more complex than it was in the 1940’s and 50’s in other parts of the world.
Civil disobedience only works when there's civil reciprocity in a reasonable time frame. It's being abandoned as a tactic because it has been yielding diminishing returns, and radical folk are conscious that conditions keep worsening, in terms of both direct violence and funding of a repressive status quo.

Just as every single human being desires peace in the same way they desire happiness. The love of peace, therefore, is not a virtue. When those who are leading their nations sing the praise of peace they are sincere. They seek war to achieve their peace. Even violent criminals demand peace, if only for themselves. They do not love war; they aspire to an unjust peace.

St Augustine, The City of God
Never heard the slogan. The popular slogan is “defund the police” and is already been applied in the sense that some funding is being redirected to other services. SF has a police budget of $750mn and I think they are redirecting $40 mn to unarmed response to non violent mental health issues. Which is great IMO

>I mean, they buy all kinds of military surplus

If you are going to post an article to support your argument, you might want to make sure it actually supports your argument.

Police don't pay for surplus military gear, the DoD offers it for free. Police only have to pay for shipping. It has been this way since the program was created in 1988.
radEventListener: Client-side Framework Performance
Why is this flagged? This is great and, for better or worse, pretty on point.
I would regard them as prominent gentlemen scientists of their time, to say the least.

For every prominent man or woman of science, there have always been countless others having equal or better technology, whose recognition falls below an arbitrary media-determined threshold for eminence, whether or not eminence was on the agenda.

That much of it is a popularity contest.

There's rock stars and there's all the rest of the loud guitar players.

I accept a citizen scientist as toward the lesser end of academic credentials and lacking widespread recognition of their leadership or capability, but no shortage of talent or potential. And perhaps leveraging lesser resources or overcoming the same common limitations that otherwise encumber their equally ambitious peers, who do not become scientists at all even if they wanted to. By good fortune or not.

The citizen-scientist is an everyman of some kind.

Well, you gotta draw the line somewhere.

At the interface between citizen-scientists and citizen-not-quite-scientists, its a pretty fuzzy line and there's equal talent on both sides.

Similar talent but the more rarefied community has the actual accomplishments.

OTOH at the other end of the spectrum are the most prominent scientists and the fuzzy interface between the few of them and the next tier of equal talents having top credentials but insignificant recognition by comparison.

Similar accomplishments but the more rarefied community has the actual recognition.

It's much less common for the most prominent in the 21st century to be a gentleman scientist of our time anyway.

In between the top credentials and the lesser ones there's got to be an even more fuzzy line where the gentleman scientist and the citizen scientist can't tell which side of the line they're on their dang self.
I’ve never interacted with police in the context of having committed or having been suspected of a crime, other than traffic stops.

Traffic stops are the only pleasant interactions I’ve had with on-the-clock officers (but of course not all of those have been respectful).

Since fewer than 52% of Americans have been convicted of a crime, I assume this is a fairly common perspective.

You're lucky to get latency under a microsecond on PCIe to begin with. A buffer of 20 bits would be about 2 nanoseconds and completely negligible.

Though apparently retimers are allowed to spend up to 64 nanoseconds? What takes so long? Especially when the PCIe spec casually asserts the existence of <10ns retimers.
It's more of a no-pin limit. Payments above AUD100 can still be contactless, the POS terminal asks for the card's pin. I'm not sure if there's a hard limit at all to NFC payments. I've done some >$1000 transactions contactless.

The police execute public policy. I've seen a friend arrested for trying to simply delivery a letter to their representative calmly (amid a protest, but a calm one). Police can sometimes be individually bad, but often they are bad because they are part of a system that makes it so. If you are a "good" cop, you need to protect the bad cops or you get your ass handed to you and your career prospects cut. If you are a "good" cop and you are forced to kick people out of homes for being poor, lock up some dude forever for stealing a candy bar because of a three strikes law, or some such you're part of a system that values property and the safety of the well off over human dignity.

We do need some kind of forces for dealing with the occasional insane situation, but those happen rarely and public policy can be tailored to prevent many problems instead of being merely reactive and punitive. For example, poverty and lack of options cause social conflict, what if we did something about that instead of punishing people?
Can you perhaps think of a fairly common event which is frequently followed by protests and, increasingly, riots? Go on, just take a wild guess.

Starting with a lot of guns. Police don't have a lot of time to make decisions when situations escalate. It seems like shoot first and ask questions later in many cases.
> Every video in marricks's post started after things started happening;

If you really believe that pulling the "they did it first" card helps your case in any way, I'm sorry to break it to you but people only started to protest after the police was caught, again, doing pretty egregious stuff against innocent members of the public, including killing people in broad day light.

And I'm dumbfounded by your attempt at whitewashing police murders by spewing bullshit like "the guy was being a total fucking asshole".
I grew up making PB&B by mashing the banana and peanut butter together in a bowl, tuning the ratio to taste at that time, and then applying the mixture to the bread. I'm starting to think maybe this was not the usual way?
I'm not from the UK. The idea of someone becoming an actual PhD in 3 years is rather quaint to me. Perhaps it's just a different approach, or perhaps the PhD system I'm used to produces a level of results that UK PhDs typically only achieve after their first PostDoc.

Or, perhaps there is an initial period of a year or so where the student is not yet doing a PhD, but is trying to produce results nevertheless. Saw that in Surrey, but can't remember how long students had after defending their PhD proposal and being promoted to PhD student.
In my small town I use only NFC via my watch, phone or tapping my card. If every place accepts NFC payments in this little town I would assume it's more widespread than you think.

I think it's just not widely known about/common usage in the US even though the infrastructure seems to be widely there.
Perhaps I focused too much on one type of civil disobedience. The examples you cite are useful in illustrating that the disobedience has to be peaceful. Or perhaps it might be better to say that the moral authority or message of the protest is vastly strengthened by peaceful disobedience. The willingness to be arrested without resisting is also an important component as it communicates a concurrent belief in the rule of law while still protesting.

When the disobedience includes assault, vandalism, arson, looting, and so on, it is no longer a protest, it is a riot and it looses all its moral legitimacy as a protest in my mind.

Changing one abuse for another is barely an improvement.

Google is abusing its position and most users are not technical savvy enough to understand the implications.

Can we stick to nations that are at least likely to report real numbers? You can say China has fewer police shootings and it might be true or it might not. It's literally impossible to tell when it comes out of a nation with a freedom of speech that exists in their constitution and not in reality.

In the documentary "Iraq: No End in Sight" the original US team that did reconstruction said Baghdad had < 11 people in the morgue each year. After the 2003 invasion, it grew to over 11 per day.

If that's what the claim was I'd be inclined to agree but extension support was not deceptively and indefinitely dropped in Q3 2019 as the comment talked about. There was Fear extensions would be permanently removed imminently, Uncertainty with how the releases would be scheduled and feature roadmap, and Doubt they'd ever listen to feedback.

In reality partial extension support was already there + expansion of support on stable on full support on nightly on the near term timeline at release https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/14034, the switch on stable FF happened in Q3 2020, and they changed stance after all of the feedback.
This seems more like a UI bug that Apple needs to fix. If the UI doesn’t give any indication of how many digits are expected and _always_ allows me to input both numbers and alpha, then no one can guess these things.

Instead there are 4 separate UIs here: 4-digit, 6-digit, 7+ digits, alpha-numeric. Each of them gives an attacker lots of hints. Insecure by design.
That's a pretty weak set of evidence you have there for a claim as big as 'Snopes is ONE OF THE LEAST credible sources that you can find', emphasis mine.
