The low frequency noise is very bad for ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers. For example, seismic noise from ground motion, such as waves hitting the west coast for LIGO Hanford, or logging operations for LIGO Livingston; also the control noise is really bad at low frequencies. Generally most noises apart from the quantum noise scale inversely to the frequency.

The ground-based detectors are most sensitive at 100Hz, which is around the frequency of the binary black hole inspiral. Supermassive black holes are more like millihertz. We do not have any concrete way yet to measure the gravitational waves from supermassive black holes, but there are some ideas. For example we can look at the time dilation of frequencies of nearby pulsars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsar) as a kind of gravitational wave interferometer in space, however to get a signal-to-noise ratio greater than one many years (decades) of data is needed.

Yeah a tulip bulb has some basic real value. You put it into the ground and it grows into a beautiful plant. But is it worth as much as a house in downtown Amsterdam? Certainly not. Tesla is a valuable company, but the current price is totally unjustified.
I’ll not comment on the first part. However, it’s sad to think that somebody can “earn” right to piss in everyone else’s face.

Fwiw, I don’t believe that this is what happening, noone is happy about counterproductive behavior, regardless which country it comes from (the US, Russia, China, Turkey, etc). However, in some cases there is not much you can do about it. Sigh, I wish all nations listed above could work together toward making this world a better place.
For $7,625 invested at the opening offer price, you’d have a million dollars today.

This statement from the article is incorrect and doesn't account for the stock split. Had you invested that much at the opening price you'd actually have closer to $5mil today.
Is it common to give tips to taxi drivers?

In the US, yes.

People I regularly tip:
- wait staff
- barber
- delivery service (for oversized packages/furniture delivered into my home, not general UPS/FedEx deliveries that are left on the doorstep)
- taxi driver

It's a side effect of a low minimum wage. Most of the rest of the western world has the minimum set closer to a living wage.
P/E ratios relate to the ROI possible with other investments. It’s likely that as the world gains more wealth that wealth will face diminishing returns when generating more wealth.

The simplest model to demonstrate this an a fund that extracts 1% of it’s value per year. Eventually it’s total returns hits the global GDP growth rate plus inflation. Theoretically stocks should have a lower P/E due to associated risks but eventually a P/E of 20 is very possible.

I'm happy to take advice, but given how debatable everything is with programming I'm skeptical of anything labelled 'best practice' ... Over the decades, fads come and go, todays best practice is often tomorrows antipattern ...
You'd want to tweak it so you were picking the person in range who went the longest without a gig rather than a naive random pick. Lot more encouraging for the workers vs watching the guy who just got a gig receive yet another before them.

I quite like the model - either you pay for Youtube or you don't. If you do, you get a bunch of stuff, some of which you might not use; but the total is still cheap, so who cares. I'd hate it if all-you-can-eat restaurants would make you decide up front if you want access to the desert buffet, too.

It's interesting that GNU only gets a mention in the very last paragraph when a lot of the software described in the article was built with GNU tools (if not for other reason, because developer tools were horrendously expensive back then).

Also, it's interesting people don't think of user groups DECUS and SHARE as relevant precursors (that predate both Unix and the internet)
"As I clearly stated: problems with unions are widespread and there are even quite a handful of examples right on this thread."

We have something similar in the UK, originating in the Proceeds of Crime Act, but the big distinction is that confiscation orders are made by the Crown or High Courts. It can be quite an involved process and is largely done against those higher up. The Crown court handles those proceeding against convicted criminals while the High Court can make orders against unconvited individuals. In the latter case I think it's noramally the high-ups who have assets with no obvious legal origin who are targetted and it is a civil case where the burden of proof is lower but generally if you are innocent it should be easy enough to show you got your weatlth from somewhere legitimate.

It's not perfect, but the checks and balances are there.

The US asset forfiture system is a straight-up affront to the basic concepts of justice in a civilised, democratic country.
I think you are missing something. It isn't about seeing a picture. It is about a fantasy. It is a daydream. The more they "know" and view one person, the deeper that fantasy can become. People are able to delude themselves into a mindset of "if I keep interacting with her, what if she realized how cool I am and we actually got together" or similar.

This gets into what is real and the power of anticipation. There have been a lot of studies that show the biggest endorphin bump for a vacation is in the planning, not actually going and experiencing the locale. This is going to really change as VR matures. People will be having lots of experiences at home in a very immersive way. This includes front row at a concert, walking tours of a far off city or attraction, and obviously VR porn integrated with mechanicals. We have vivid dreams all the time and they are not "real", I think these things will feel even more real for the immersion.

So she lets someone else drive her car at felony reckless driving speeds while she sits in the passenger seat? I mean... this law sounds like it has some problems but I'm not sure this is the case that proves it.

Surely she bears some responsibility here? Additionally, the car was used in a crime. Should you get your gun back if you loan it out and it's used to shoot somebody?

Amazon is still seeing 20+% annual revenue growth rates. That’s not what a mature company looks like.

Amazon revenue for the twelve months ending June 30, 2020 was $321.782B, a 27.66% increase year-over-year.

Amazon annual revenue for 2019 was $280.522B, a 20.45% increase from 2018. Amazon annual revenue for 2018 was $232.887B, a 30.93% increase from 2017. Amazon annual revenue for 2017 was $177.866B, a 30.8% increase from 2016. https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AMZN/amazon/revenu...

By comparison Walmart’s revenue for 2018 was $500.343B and it hit $542.026B for the twelve months ending July 31, 2020. https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/WMT/walmart/revenu...

Boiling the oceans would indeed be bad, and I suspect we'll see deviation from long-term growth trends well before that point. But, again, for the third time, readily available fissionable fuels are much less abundant than is commonly understood (or you assert), with a supply very likely much below 200 years at best, and quite possibly only a few decades.

What's changed with regards to coal is not geology or geological knowledge, but consumption. Not mereely increases in existing uses but new applications of the fuel.

Breeders failed commercially for a number of reasons, fuel costs being only one factor:

The story of the fast breeder reactors is a story about a technology embraced by large enthusiasm, which never realized its expectations, at least in the expected time-frame. The reasons for this are many. Partly, it was technical problems, as those with cooling and safety. There were also economical difficulties since the price of uranium did not develop as expected. There were military implications: the problems of handling and transporting plutonium. Also, there were social or ideological complications, since public opposition rose against breeder reactors. The political consequences were that the financial support from the governments disappeared.

People were calling a Tesla a bubble ever since it was trading at $8/share in 2013. "Who is gonna spend $50k onan electric car?" "Tesla is dependent on subsidies and burning cash!" "GM, Ford, and Nissan have competitors such as the Leaf" etc. These predictions are meaningless, according to exhaustive empirical analysis. They said the same about Facebook in 2013 when it was trading at $33/share. "Buying Instagram for $1 billion was so stupid" "Mobile ads will never work!" "There will be a competitor!" "Just a fad!" etc. They said same about Amazon when it was at $400/share in 2014. "Losing too much money on Prime orders!" "Fake reviews" "Share price too high, not enough profit!" "Stealing from the state (in regard to taxes)" etc. The list goes on and on. For every correct prediction, they get many wrong. If if valuations are high, what these people ignore is that earnings are surging, so that high PE ratio will come falling really fast. For example, Facebook had a PE ratio of 100 in 2012. If I were going to try to predict which companies are most vulnerable to being bubbles, I would look for companies that are not a dominant as Amazon or Tesla, but are small and whose products can be easily substituted for cheaper alternatives. Retail is especially vulnerable to this. But then again, Nike bucked this trend. Bitcoin , unlike Tesla, cannot generate shareholder equity, so in the long-run Bitcoin will always lag equities, as commodities have always done. Bitcoin's price is just a function of supply and demand and has no intrinsic worth. Still long tesla and amazon. Ppl need to stop trying to call the tops of these things. Ain't gonna happen. Loser's game.
In broad strokes, this is similar to the strategy implemented by SVXY, an inverse volatility ETF. It is continuously short contracts of the front month and second month of VIX futures, weighted accordingly to give a 30-day effective maturity. The idea is that the VIX term structure is usually in contango (the market expects that volatility in the future will be higher, so you can short the longer-term contracts and buy them back closer to expiration). The fund was structured such that it attempted to give -1.0x the return of a VIX short-term futures index on any given day. That way, as long as the term structure stays in contango and there isn't a bulk increase in volatility across the curve, you will profit.

From early 2016 to early 2018, this strategy was extremely effective, returning over 700% from February 2016 to January 2018. Then "Volmageddon" happened[1] and the fund lost over 90% in one day. Several other similarly-structured inverse volatility funds closed after that day; from what I can tell, SVXY is the only one left, and ProShares later changed the target return factor of the fund to 0.5x to reduce the probability of a similar event in the future.

In more turbulent environments, where volatility is either in backwardation (the front month volatility is higher than later months, often during some kind of market shock), or if the whole volatility term curve just shifts upward (an overall increase in volatility across all expirations), this strategy will lose money. And, as always when trading futures, it can lose lots of money very quickly if you aren't careful.

It is not.

In a project I'm working on we encrypt our secrets with git secret before sending them to GitHub.

When we want to quickly share unencrypted secrets between us we drop them as files into a server we access over ssh. That should be OK.

The gist of it is that if a secret is in clear on a server outside our organization it's not secret anymore. And yet my customer trust their cloud provider (Google) with their data.
That isn't paying by merit, it is a leadership style with financial incentives. An obnoxious one in my opinion, but some people like it. Very common in sales.

If you were paid by "merit", you would be paid by your contribution to the revenue of the company. That is mostly restricted to owners.
I've moved past my bitter feelings about the failings of my sports education.

It feels like PE was 2-3 years of gymnastics followed by 6-7 years of "let's just play basketball/volleyball/soccer" with a semester of swimming here-and-there. Certainly no instructions or structure to any of it.

As a fat kid, I was always the happiest when sitting out entirely (or swimming, where it turns out natural buoyancy is actually helpful).

Always getting Ds and Fs and being chosen last for any team activity led to me spend my college years on the couch.

Only through getting back pain and posture problems I found out 5 years later that I enjoy jogging and yoga and weightlifting and isometric exercise - if properly instructed.

It feels like I missed out on the years in between simply because PE at school never had the goal of helping kids be healthy - just keeping them busy in any way possible.
The unique hardware and tricks of the Atari VCS/2600
I agree. That doesn't mention the actual product milestones and accomplishments either...

- 10-year lead on the EV market

- Undisputed best product in the EV market (not the cheapest).

- Proprietary charging stations rolled out globally that'd take years (even a decade?) for anyone to catch up with.

- Hands down best autonomous driving system

- Diversified into solar, upcoming diesel.

The audience of Tesla fans is, not my cup of tea. But I can't help but draw some parallels to the $30-40/share Apple days when it started growing and there were similar arguments against it. But in my head I thought, well, have you actually used the laptops? There was nothing close to them.

At some point Nvidia crippled their drivers if you didn't have a Quadro on Linux. Eg: No multi-monitor. Not sure how of that they do now.
So some guy resoldered some resistors on a GTX 690 (at the time the highest spec card they sold). To make it identify as the Quado with same specs.

Just to clarify: Of course a 65W CPU will still consume more power due to bursts and boosts but as far as I know AMD has a hard limit of about 90W for their 65W-rated CPUs, which is reassuring. I‘m glad I opted for the 3700X during my last upgrade - very efficient CPU indeed.
A decent chunk of new Go developers are former Java developers. (I'm not being disparaging here, I came over to Go from Java!) I think the idea of "accept interfaces, return structs" doesn't sink in very well and isn't as readily apparent as it could be.

When I have a function that takes a struct, and I need it to take a different struct for the same argument due to whatever, that to me screams "make an interface", but I hadn't been programming Java very long before my team started using Go - I've now been writing Go professionally longer than I have Java.

There's a recent (2017) English translation of the Odyssey by Emily Wilson. It's absolutely electric!

Robert Fagles is one of the most famous English translators of the Odyssey, but I find Wilson's to be more fun to read.

I think one reason why I enjoy Wilson's translation more is because she translates each line using iambic pentameter (like how Shakespeare wrote). The original is in six-footed lines (dactylic hexameters). This is an important style choice because dactylic hexameter was a great choice for poets in the ancient Greek language, but a poor choice in English. The translation into English using iambic pentameter gives the poem a natural flow in English.

What's most impressive is that Wilson's translation is the same length as the original, with exactly the same number of lines while changing the meter from dactylic hexameter to iambic pentameter!

I was boggling at how this could be tolerably efficient for someone, but I think I see it. My development workflow is terminal-centric, so copying out of the terminal to paste into a browser is extremely painful, whereas running 'diff', 'json_verify', etc. on local files or typing snippets into python/node/etc. from the shell is almost free. I suppose though if I were spending my day in VS Code or any kind of GUI IDE or similar, and if my workflow isn't optimized to pop open a unix shell with a keystroke for quick throwaway commands, it would be a lot easier just to C-a C-c alt-tab C-v from my GUI editor into a browser.
