What happens when too many people that owe money to the brokerage go bankrupt?
They won't get wiped out because the Fed's going to prop up the stock market at any sign of trouble.
First off, you're breaking the forum's rules by accusing people of being shills.

What sector was that company in, any why were they not able to set up a WFOE?

WFOE's have been the most common form of foreign business created in China for decades. The term "WFOE" is specifically a Chinese construct, so the idea that WFOEs are not allowed doesn't even make basic sense.

You talked earlier about reciprocity. For most of China's modern history, China hasn't had any capital that it could invest abroad, so any formal access it had to American markets made no difference. American companies invested in China under restrictive rules, while China didn't invest in the US at all. As China has developed, it has eased investment restrictions (for example, recently allowing WFOEs in the auto industry), and it has started investing abroad.

But in the last few years, it has become apparent that Chinese tech companies are de facto banned from the US. Not only that, but the US is pursuing major Chinese tech companies through sanctions, trying not only to keep them out of the US market, but to destroy them entirely.
There are more branches, but the branch predictor should be able to figure it out.

Someday we should push multiple return points, one for each enum variant of the return type, and then we avoid the branches too. (This approach is described in https://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/shivers/papers/mrlc-jfp.pdf ).
I’m not suggesting making this impossible - anyhow::Result has an optional second type parameter, after all. But not all code you write is “library code“, and for applications, simplified error handling is very often exactly what you want.
> Technology is part of the problem

I was more explicit: screens time is the problem. We interface with all manner of technology in our daily lives that I don't find myself attached to, including electronics. Everything we use, all our tools, is technology. Colloquially we use the term to refer to computers.

I can reframe the problem in other ways, e.g. what would allow me to achieve certain things without screens?

> You want to get away from the screen? Then get away. You want to go socialize with people in-person? Then just do it.

I already do this, as described. I spend more time on screens because more of what I actually want to do requires it.

There are types of interactions besides socializing for its own sake. Technology already bridges gaps with the likes of meetup websites. I think something conducive to collaborating on projects in person would be welcome.

> It doesn't have to deepen.

Well Luddites are not suddenly going to gain traction.

> Nor can it deepen, because the resource requirements for producing and powering higher technology come at an ever-increasing cost, subsidized by the environment and future generations.

Innovation by nature will ultimately reduce costs, though an increasing rate of adoption by the population could outpace it.

Every person has an environmental footprint, and it's greater in the West. Between transportation both public and private, a residence, food, gadgets, etc it adds up and were this something to be curbed, taking devices away would be woefully insufficient at making the difference. The population rate just needs to drop, which can be alleviated by eliminating global poverty. The popularized push for minimalism while watching the population explode is a race to the bottom.
I had doubts about your tool, then I tried it on my site:

Black as adjective, sure. Black as a noun, I should think not.
Black is fine, 'the blacks' or 'the whites' is not. If you are describing someone it is fine to denote their skin colour. It is not fine to encompass a whole group as 'blacks', does this include mixed race people, does it include all BAME groups?
The study from the title is indeed just a correlation, from the abstract:

"This study used a retrospective, observational analysis of deidentified tests performed at a national clinical laboratory."

Whenever you see a "retrospective, observational" related to anything having to do with medicine or biology, consider that the experts seldom see that as a proof of anything, but only a hint to a possible hypothesis that could be investigated in some other way (and then confirmed or rejected).

As another example that correlation doesn't mean causation, even if the paper is published about the correlation, see:

https://youtu.be/UHDi6tNMHyU?t=2780

That "bald men and Covid-19" study did not control for age (where the older people are more probable to be both more bald and have worse outcome, making correlation not saying much when that is not controlled for), this study seems didn't control for "staying inside most of the day" or even "inside with more people" etc. Good catch.
That all depends what j and h stand for.
> At its core, compilers offer a flag that lets you turn them off, same as Rust.

That is true and in embedded projects it is common that exceptions are forbidden, which shocks many young developers who are not used to write C++ without exceptions;-) In C++ it's nice when you have exceptions but without them you are very much on you're own, almost as you were writing C. Additionally every library does error handling slightly differently and you quickly end up in a world of pain.

The really nice thing about Rust, in that regard, is that there is no need for different error handling systems. No matter if you are writing very low level code (e.g. embedded systems) or high level (e.g. web apps) code the basic error handling primitives are the same. Since we have the question mark operator the ergonomics are not too different from exceptions in other languages. What is not so clear at the moment is, what the best practices are on how to combine these primitives. As far as I understand this is one of the major areas the Error Handling Group is to address.

Our Antigens, Our Selves
Actually higher kinded types are easier than "generic associated types".

All things associated type related play less nice with type inference, and in fact Haskell's associated types are seriously flawed and needs to overhauled.

I don't know why Rust doesn't got for HKTs. It would be relatively easy, and they have often have much nicer error messages than associated types.
My four year old daughter loves books. I have been buying her books since she was born about math and science and engineering. [1]
There are a lot of good children’s books now [2] that she enjoys hearing the story and they are just on the shelf with the other books. Someday it’s all princess books others it’s animal books. Recently I’ve found my How Things Work book and I’ve been reading a page or two of that in between the stories when she wants to read the whole Mickey and Friends anthology.
Another great resource has been my wife got us a RaddishKids [3] subscription for Christmas and we’ve really enjoyed making the recipes and they are very kid friendly and highly recommended. We’ve found quite a few new favorite recipes that we keep going back to.
I’m not an expert seeing as my Datapoints == 1, but I personally feel even an exposure to great many things helps breed interest in things. If you don’t know something exists how can you think about it? My ultimate goal is to help her become a self sufficient human not necessarily an Engineer or Scientist or Programmer. She has helped me change light switches and fix stripped screws for door hinges, she helps cook dinner when we’re not in a rush and sits on my wife’s lap when she’s using the sewing machine.

[1] Baby loves science books by Ruth Spiro
[2] Books by Andrea Beaty, Ada Twist scientist etc, Grace Hopper:Queen of computer Code that I bought from Adafruit, How things work and sorry I don’t have the authors name right on hand but he has some other great books on architecture ‘built to last’ I think was one that are beautifully illustrated and fun.

I dunno. I may know them but the next person may not. Where I work, there are plenty of people who primarily work w/ other langs and only dabble in bash once in a blue moon.

Case in point, when I was learning, I'd copy and paste snippets I found online without understanding what some flags did. At first I didn't even know how to look up docs, and googling for the meaning of shorthand isn't always fruitful, especially given the "don't know how to find docs" limitation.

I've even ran into cases where the next person is myself. For example at one point, I "knew" docker flags while it was fresh in my mind, but then forgot what they meant a few months later...

Wait NVidia actually get it? Neat!
I think you are forgetting that when somebody solves a problem and adds value, it cannot be disassociated from how it got there. That is where mastery of the language/technical details come in. Of course you don't need to know all dark corners but fluency in commonly used idioms/techniques are a must.

I have watched many of Thoughty2's videos on YouTube, and as a person of the mind, feel that they are quite good.

The man is a thinker; a fellow person of the mind, quite simply stated...
I find the flu argument pretty weak, but it ultimately boils down to a claim of demographic differences (that Sweden had more people at the beginning of the pandemic that were likely to die than neighbouring countries).

Belgium feels like a cherry picked example, having as it does a miserably poor record compared to its own neighbours, and being rather unlike the nordic countries in lots of other likely relevant ways - climate, population density, etc.

Perhaps a more likely demographic cause might be the age of the population in Sweden, which I believe does have a particularly old population.

The racial/skin colour angle is difficult to evaluate. There may be something to it, but there are so many potentially confounding factors - immigrant populations are unlike the native population in a number of ways. Some of the ways they are different are that they are overrepresented in high risk groups like front line medical workers or living in poorer quality accommodation or having more difficulty getting access to health care. If the primary cause that they are overrepresented in covid-19 deaths relates to any of those, then having a lower immigrant population may just redistribute the deaths rather than reduce them (the bottom socioeconomic 10% will likely be overrepresented in deaths, and that bottom 10% may feature more or fewer immigrants).
Great that you can opt out.

Still a shame that this we now have two competing conventions what I consider to be no discernable reason.
I'm 55 and I just finished writing a couple of books. I felt that I had done so much and seen so many cool things that before I check out I owed the world a "book report", whether anybody wanted to read it or not. So I wrote a couple.

I don't think I could have done that even ten years ago. There's a perspective you get, kind of a postmodernism, where you both understand the topics and the common ways of addressing them, then are able to move past that. I guess geniuses reach that point in their teens. It might take a bit longer for the rest of us :)

There's a thing I see with younger tech authors where they don't want to admit it, but they're for the most part chasing fame. That's a different kind of creativity. I never was good at that and it hasn't gotten much better, either. Perhaps you need a good foundation in order to "bloom" eventually?
There are high-intensity 6-month VFX training programs at art schools where you learn the full pipeline. I don't think most VFX people know much programming, but it can be helpful in certain situations.
I don't know if you're affiliated with them, but I gave a brief look all over the website and couldn't find any indication of "coming soon." The only thing that says "coming soon" is your comment.

Website design and marketing aren't my area of expertise, but I think they'll lose a lot of eyeballs by advertising a product and don't either tell people where to buy it or if the product isn't released yet. Right now the website looks like an elaborate prank or a fake product. It would be fine if gathering interest/customers weren't the point of the website, but if it were about gaining investors then I think it should have other information (cost of production, scalability, market size, etc.).
Considering the state of "linear Haskell", and the difficulties in working on GHC (which didn't have CI at the time), I don't really blame them.

I would actually like GHC be a Rust compiler too. I think that would force it to be more modular, and if it's more modular and has more incremental CI, we'll get a lot of productivity and such a thing would actually be practical. So just gotta find a way to unwind the causality loop they (probably modularity for modularity's sake.)
If I recall correctly the US passed Sweden in excess mortality sometime in June/July. So they have probably passed some of the other European countries already. I couldn't find a good up to date source, but Belgium seems to have lower excess than US. Comparing death statistics is not trivial.

Anyways, I don't think comparing the US to most countries in Europe really makes sense, considering the size and population differences.
Microsoft, IBM, and Sun were all profitable in 1999 too. It’s not the big tech companies that people were/are worried about, it’s the billion dollar startups who will collapse in a year or two. Uber and Palantir (et al) aren’t Hewlett-Packard, they’re Pets.com.

That’s not true. The reason they stopped live streaming is because sketchy channels were cutting clips mid stream and re-posting. Essentially pirating the content to make a bunch of cash before they had the opportunity to release the official clips.
Haskell has a managed runtime; Rust does not. Rust is suitable in places that Haskell is not, despite the "less advanced" type system.
As a mathematician-turned-programmer-later-turned-writer, writing after 40 seems to be fairly productive. The quality decline seems to start at about 60-65 years of age, and might be avoidable if you can keep your brain healthy. Every single writer or journalist I know whose output started to decline exhibited signs of creeping dementia.

Mathematics is a young people game, though. Very rare to push out significant results after forty.
while you're once again correct that i'm comparing oranges to apples, my point nonetheless stands. the world population before the industrialization was in the lower hundreds of thousands.

the usual town did house significantly less then a thousand people. compared to a usual town of today with >40k inhabitants.

Show HN: Lockdown Project – A Data Management Tool
This might be on the edge of being a bit early for a Show HN, but I thought I'd share what I've been doing with all of this unexpected free time:

An open source data management tool. See Github: https://github.com/rhinoman/odmp

I also wrote a blog post about the project here: https://jamesadam.me/2020/09/08/my-lock-down-project-a-data-...

I've used much more fully featured (not to mention expensive) tools in the past but wanted to try creating something that was easier for simple needs. And also, open source.

Does it work? Sorta. I've run some data through it, squishing a lot of early bugs in the process, but haven't seriously tried to stress it yet :)

I can't imagine that is true. And even if it is, acknowledging that is a success, good job! If everything seems to fail, we have to focus on the things we accomplish every day and just take for granted. Even if they're small accomplishments.
This is unsurprising, given how disconnected the market has been from the economy. "Growth" stocks have naturally taken the greater share of incoming money.

It won't last. There will be a correction, of one kind or another, more or less violent. That is how the "efficient market" works.
This sounds very cool, but how do they know that they are actual footprints and not just two holes that accidentally looks like footprints?
I think your project will not be taken seriously by the target audience if you imply that the AI isnt extremely biased, as any "pretty or not" judgement.

Providing a "what people might like better statistically" service is interesting, claiming you have a "the AI knows how the user will feel" algorithm is not a good strategy
I’ve tried it for calls with a few people and didn’t have a lot of connection related issues. If you’re able to, you could self-host a Jitsi Meet instance at any cloud service provider with a geographically closer presence to you. I’ve been thinking of doing that but haven’t tried it yet.

Jitsi Meet does eat up phone/tablet batteries a lot and also causes a lot of heating. I guess it could still be optimized further to handle these better (improvements to the client and platform have been pushed all these months too).
Is this actually a problem people find themselves in?
>would like to become a computer engineer.

If you deliberately chose the phrase "computer engineer" to ask this question, are you saying the teen is interested in designing computer hardware instead of just software programming?

Just to be on the same page with terminology, Zach Star has short videos comparing "computer engineering" vs "computer science":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avZTQgLs064

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGX_42qSofc

Therefore, if computer engineering is indeed the specialty, there are more detailed class videos such as hardware architecture from CMU:

Probably the most important tradeoff between nbd/nfs is that NFS by virtue of supporting shared mutation, means client-side caching is either non-existent or barely useful

With NBD you're giving a filesystem driver exclusive access to a block device, the kernel knows the underlying isn't expected to change, so for example no round-trips are required to read or revalidate some cached data, and something like "find /" while slow to run the first time around, will likely be served from cache on a subsequent pass, and thus lightning fast

> Is not the US people in any case, is their government.

This a million times. I'm speaking broadly as I'm not from the US, however this applies pretty much to every country: "People are not their government" should be always considered when criticizing any nation or being criticized by others because of government politics. Identifying people with their government choices is the 1st step towards building hatred that will be used to convince weak minded citizen to enroll and invade that country. Most wars happened because governments screwed their own people convincing them there were enemies ready to kill them, where in fact there was nobody.
Russians did not elect Trump. Americans did. It seems astonishing to me, how Facebook is credited with putting Trump in office, merely by being a means to communicate ads, like it's _supposed_ to be in the first place. If propaganda and ads targeted at swaying the voters one way or another are considered illegal, the whole of election campaigns, ads and party propaganda - because it's propaganda, from both parties - should be banned. Plus, American voters are implied to be, through these accusations, stupid kids that have no judgement on their own, and will fall off a cliff if an ad tells them to. What is true of all this? Can you, if you have first hand experience from the US, enlighten me?

This seems to fundamentally miss the reason why we forecast. To quote Eisenhower:

>Peace-time plans are of no particular value, but peace-time planning is indispensable.

The end result of these forecasts isn't particularly valuable, but the thinking used to develop the forecast can help us preempt, react, and respond. This is like criticizing climate scientists because they didn't get the exact amount of warming or sea level rise correct in their predictions. I'm not saying every (or any) consultant forecast is worth reading, but to dismiss the idea of forecasting because we are wrong is a fundamental misunderstanding of the value of forecasts.
