How much do you know of Social Media Marketing? The word has created fields and industries which are specialise in maximising the results from it.

Do you know that an average instagram user has 150 followers? That has been only growing with time as accounts get abandoned and new accounts get created.

Nano influencer is a blogger who has from 1 000 - 10 000 followers. Those are friends and real life connections. They are highly engaged with the account and read every word their friend says.
On the other hand, I've met a bunch of really average people who think saying no all the time makes them the next Steve Jobs. It's very annoying.

I have experience with Machine Learning research and have implemented SoTA architectures. I am comfortable with Python and various ML/DL libraries.
That's not how this works. Anybody can come up with some random theory, but if it doesn't have testable predictions that can validate the theory, then it doesn't mean we solved quantum gravity. This is the case with Wolfram.
Yeah, that's how reddit works too, but there are multiple layers of caching behind the CDN that would still hide certain types of outages.

> How much was lost by being unable to sell something today that you weren’t willing to sell yesterday?

Could be a lot. Markets are not disconnected. If only Japan existed, sure. Some orders would no longer exist, but nothing major, because noone else would be trading anyway.

But suppose this was during an economic downturn. You are trying to SELL SELL SELL because all countries worldwide are feeling some economic pressure and you can't because the exchange is down.

The next day, whatever assets you had are now worth a fraction of what they were one day before.

Oh, and there are some financial instruments that expire.
It's not arbitrary, I'm just sampling the most populous because that's typically where the increases have allegedly been the most dramatic. The intention behind choosing only the top 10 is to be as minimally charitable to my own point as possible.

In the top 20 most populous MSAs, only 7 experienced a substantial multiplier increase.

In the top 50, it's even less.

The further down the list you go, the less likely there has been a dramatic increase in home-price-to-income ratio.

There's a whole collection of "Fine, American cities" (https://twitter.com/jmhorp/status/1221828340656431105) where multipliers have either not increased, or decreased.
Given length and language (German), some positioning would help.

As it stands I doubt the piece works well here, though it might well be worthwhile on its own.
well, yes. My point was more or less that I haven't seen an adequate inflation index whenever I read about this topic (which is quite often). So just saying "no matter which index you use" isn't worth much if every usual index is going for the wrong measurements.
Nonetheless, there are articles which focus on the real inflation and it doesn't look good: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/02/great-affo...

Choice Quote:
"The price tags for tuition and fees at colleges and universities have risen twice as fast as wages, if not more, in recent years. Rental costs are outpacing wage gains by a percentage point or more a year. Health-care costs have grown twice as fast as workers’ wages. And child-care costs have exploded."

I totally get the sentiment and I agree.

I knew a girl once who really wanted to be a teacher. She had a hard time finding a job as a teacher though. I was discussing this situation with her and asked "What is it you want to do?" and she was like "Get a job as a teacher?" and so I probed further, "So you just want to get the job with title teacher, regardless of the duties?" And she was like "I dont care about the job and the title, I want to teach kids and see them grow" . To which i pondered with her, "so go volunteer as a tutor?" . Yes, she did want to earn an income, but her real goal and actualization was by doing the thing... She was able to do some tutoring in the meantime and it really really improved her outlook and was a great outcome for the kids too!

So often the things we want to do only have the barriers we've constructed/adopted.
Gold may have the appearance of property, but just like fiat money, this is still due to a complex set of social conventions and agreements.

Gold does not have much practical use for most of the things that people do in life, but a reality-based consensus that it is relatively rare and a human-psychology driven fascination with shiny and malleable materials has led us to agree to place value in it.

Even that took some effort, such as when gold-centric cultures and silver-centric cultures encountered each other.
Further, you can't expect to capture all or most of the upside unless you're also willing to risk the downside.

Maybe the A/B test would show no change. Maybe it would show a slight loss. Do you still expect to be paid your salary for the work that went into that? If you do, you shouldn't expect to capture all the upside.

Imagine 5 teams set out to run $100K experiments; 4 teams fail and 1 team creates a $1M gross win. On net, $500K of value was created. The company can't weather the losses from the 4 teams and pay out 100% of the upside ($900K) of the 5th experiment to the 5th team.

Sure, the go way:

"fmt"
"github.com/dimuska139/go-email-normalizer"
)

func main() {
fmt.Println(emailnormalizer.NewNormalizer().Normalize("x+1@gmail.com"))
}

Wait, how did I know to do "emailnormalizer.NewNormalizer()"? Well, that's the package name of the package at that url.

The package name is only the same as the last part of the URL in go by convention, and importing a package can put an arbitrary package identifier into your package scope.
No arguments from me. Or at least close the loopholes.
Wikipedia has a second layer of cache after that of the article html without user interface which is stored in memcache & db (in mediawiki speak this is referred to as the "parser cache"). However typically if the site is down,that layer would go down too, so only the varnish servers really have the potential to hide outages.

Yeah... isn't one benefit of a yubikey that a secret must be acquired by some very physical and intentional means? If my laptop/password is compromised, then they still can't log in because they need my secret token from the yubikey. Well, if having that secret token is just one curl call away if they're on the same network then its no longer a very physical and intentional safeguard.

I know... layers of unlikelihood.. but I'd probably opt for a physical "good button" gapped from my computer as sort of a closed electrical extension of my finger.
"Perhaps, but I’m awed with how much we do know and how quickly systems have come into place."

Unfortunately, there's a lot of unknown-unknownism going on in that stuff. I've had to watch painfully while people (even "experts") discover things like false-positive rates and PCR cycle count for the first time. It's a bit like living through years of undergraduate science education on fast-forward, but people only read the section headers and never fully grasp the details. Anyone who has actually done a lot of PCR could tell you, for example, that a cycle count in the high-30s is prone to noise, but somehow this became the broad standard we're using in the US.

It's relevant to your comment because a lot of these systems are shoddy (as you would expect), and the confidence in their performance is based more on a faith in shiny things than actual science. So we do things like set up large-scale PCR surveillance, and forget to validate the overall false-positive rate of the system before we start drawing huge extrapolations from the data. Years later, we'll find out that the conclusions were wrong, but nobody will be paying attention by then.

Those backup keys defeat the entire purpose of 2FA and are like storing passwords in plain text. It only takes 1, maybe 2 of those codes for an attacker to add another security key to your account for future unlimited access.

I think gfxgirl's point is that you can mentally model the gift money as added on the rent, and use that number when comparing apartments.

Ex. 50/mo + 240 gift money (for a 2 year lease) == 60/mo without gift money.
Yes, the idea is each ordering key is assigned to a single subscriber client, and all messages for that key are sent in order to that client. There is effectively a cursor which is advanced by acking. When we reassign the key to another client, we replay all messages starting from the cursor.

> the old Tibetan Buddhist story of a master who was able to fit a large animal (a yak maybe?) into his shoe, without the Yak getting smaller or his shoe getting bigger

This reminds me of something I once experienced on truffles (the kinds sold in Amsterdam smartshops), but I experienced only mentally. I had this vivid fractal "dream", if you will, of all of reality condensing into a point not dissimilar to the Mandelbrot fractal. When I looked at it, I realized the edges were the limits of human knowledge (or something like that).

But I could go further down or further up, and I realized that I was actually holding this entire fractal in my head, so I could explore any part of it, which meant I had access to all knowledge already.

I realized afterwards that Plato must have experienced the same, promoting his quote that "all learning is remembering".

I also had an experience on 5-MeO-MiPT, when I was tripping and went to get acupuncture. I went to the bathroom before the session started, and somehow I managed to fit into the bathroom despite being so large I could barely get in the door. Very similar to Alice in Wonderland.

I wonder how this size distortion happens, because when I experienced it, it felt so absolutely real.
What? The let way of variable bindings is standard just about everywhere. Why replace it with something that doesn't visually distinguish binding pairs? To my lispy eyes it is harder to navigate than

100% relate to this and I have joked to my wife that I need an assistant. My wife is an essential worker whose job stayed in-person and got busier with COVID. I’m the software engineer sitting at home. Within a month I’ve had car problems, appliance problems, mortgage problems, student loan problems, health insurance problems etc etc etc to the point I can’t even remember them all. Most of them not by my choosing. It feels like calling banks and contractors is my full time job and I check my work Slack as a hobby. It shows that the American way of life is pretty shitty even for the upper middle class. You either earn 7 figures or you struggle to some degree.

> too many people and too few jobs leads to all sorts of social issues from wealth inequality ...

You have causation exactly backwards.

If poor people had higher incomes they would spend them. (In the jargon: "marginal propensity to consume declines with income".) That spending would create jobs and sustain incomes for other people like them. I know in my own case, if I had more money I would hire a personal shopper to buy my clothes, a cleaner, a personal trainer,...

Wealth and income inequality lead to stagnant societies where nobody is happy and most people are miserable.

I agree as well, and this shouldn't be construed as boot-straps meritocracy argument, but I really really think that the combination of Open Source and the ability to spread ideas on email, this forum, chat, youtube, etc really puts at an exciting point in history where powerful ideas and transformation is within reach for billions of people. We have so many ways to give folks opportunities that don't have that.

How do we create structures and patterns that maximizes the opportunities that people have to differentiate themselves and have those choices?

I don’t have the statistics in front of me, but at one point I sourced them and was able to show that the risk of a child two years old or younger drowning in a bucket was significantly higher than being unintentionally killed with a firearm.

Following your logic here, if you have a toddler and a bucket at home, it would reduce your toddler’s overall risk profile if you bought a gun and shot holes in the bucket.

In other words, there’s a lot more that goes into using statistics to inform behavior than merely seeing what group you happen to be included in for a single breakdown.

German automakers have everything they need to beat Tesla and yet I keep watching them doing nothing year after year. Oh yeah, the people that really build these companies in the first place were squeezed out it seems.
https://thedailywtf.com/articles/the-robot-guys
In my limited experience with local economic development organizations: they are stocked with the minimally competent when it comes to starting a company. I was initially surprised by this, but then I thought: If they have the skills and knowledge to get a company running, why are they working there? Conceivably, many people who own successful businesses are making more than the people at the EcDev office. Therefore, it is unlikely that people who would be effective at helping launch a business are employed there. Their main function seems to be cutting tax deals for large out-of-(town, area, country) established businesses to bring a new (office, factory, call-center) to their area.

My suggestion is to not look to them in figuring out your business.

I've heard that in the USA, some of the government services are staffed by retired business owners who are volunteering for something to do. That makes sense that there could be a person in there who could be a helpful mentor. If they had a successful business, and have done well enough to be able to retire, they probably like doing business, and know what it takes. Retiring cuts a bunch of the stress out, and volunteering to work with new business owners lets them keep a hand in what they love to do. If you can find something like that, or find a retired former business owner to mentor you, that would likely put you far ahead of dealing with EcDev.
I can just imagine dying, only to have my alien friends ask me how the trip was.

Will URL imports actually solve the problem. Couldn’t a malicious actor simply register a similar name: e.g. `pip install code.lauchpad.net/beautifulsoup`?

I would also guess many packages would be hosted on github: `pip install popular-org.github.io/package` which could be typo-squatted by creating a similar sounding github user `pip install poplar-org.github.io/package`.

Ways they could solve their problem without significantly compromising security:

1. Plug the yubikey into the monitor

2. Use an extension cord (as they did)

3. Switch back to an otp app (eg Google authenticator or Duo)

4. Credit to conk [1] or agl [2]: extend the conductivity via conductive foil or other material, connect to ground to simulate touch

Ways you can improve convenience while reducing security:

1. This!

2. Disable 2fa (credit to another commenter)

If 2fa is required by your company, circumventing it by eliminating the security benefit should be severely reprimanded.

The point is to not have to depend on imports. Food is definitely something you want to have in surplus. "Two years" isn't a great length of time to be hungry.

That's not to say our subsidies are targeted well. Not only do we have surplus to export, we have surplus to cram into our own mouths, causing an obesity crisis. We'd be well advised to tune the subsidies to healthier foods. We would still have a wide surplus against a crisis, while eating better.

But unfortunately, long-term dependence on subsidies and some historical accidents of politics have given the existing beneficiaries a very heavy thumb on the scale of decision-making in agricultural policy.
