I've had very good success with ETFs that are more focused on specific industries - clean energy, tech, EVs etc. I recently designed my own fund with a focus on E-Commerce, and to assign the weights I used the Quality/Value Rank from Stockopedia (essentially they combine a set of financial ratios for you, to determine how profitable a company is as well as how much the stock price has already 'priced in' future earnings).

The results almost feel like magic, but I am wary the market is being propelled heavily upward at the moment, and even a trump tweet has and can derail it. But as the saying goes, 'make hay while the sun is shining'.

> I think the problem is more that certain influential technologists have failed to heed the warnings of dissenters in their own field.

Yes, this. Being in tech doesn't mean that you have to be ignorant of all other things.

We encourage and celebrate the "change the world" aspect of tech, but it's easier to change the world for the worse than for the better, and single-minded pursuit of such a goal often results in the pursuers putting on ethical blinders. The ends justify the means... until it turns out the ends weren't good anyway.

It’s not “supported on GitHub Pages” in any specific way. Both engines can work client-side by scanning your HTML for LaTeX code enclosed in $$…$$ or \(…\) or other configurable delimiters. You can just drop the appropriate JS/CSS into your default layout, and you don’t need any special support from Jekyll for this to work. Kramdown can be configured with a math backend, and the only thing it will do in MathJax mode is replace $$…$ with \(…\) and \[…\] depending on the environment, and not parse escapes and Markdown syntax in that snippet. The KaTeX mode of kramdown does stuff server-side, which might not be desirable on GitHub Pages — but this is fixable by just telling Kramdown you’re using MathJax, and including KaTeX with auto-render in your templates.

> There have been large bodies of work from technologists critical of the creeping technological panopticon ... since at least the 1980s

As someone who was active in AI research in the 1980s, I have to say that I didn't notice these large bodies of work. In contrast one of the specific concerns that I do remember was that the Japanese 5th generation project would leave the western computing industry in the dust, not that it would create a surveillance nightmare. I also remember concerns that the (then) approaches to AI (e.g. rule-based expert systems) would lead to brittle decision making, or that it couldn't scale to real-world problems.

Can you name some of the authors who were publishing panopticon concerns then, or the media they were publishing in?

I disagree that you have to put content out. I suppose the author is from South Asia, and there is a competition there that seemingly small things matter more. Bring in Hacktoberfest PR counts, GSoC gaming, and of course a stellar Medium.com content for the full picture.

I live 4 minutes walk from my office in the historic core of a European national capital and I’m staying put, even though I could get much higher speed Internet (and wifi!) in the countryside or a smaller city.

My life is here, friends in the neighbourhood, beautiful house, great restaurants and ethnic stores, fresh market around the corner, all of which remain awesome even during limited Corona lockdowns.

Younger people build contacts, friends for life and find romantic partners in cities.

So, if it’s your last professional role or you’ve got a unique work experience moving out from a major city might be a good idea. For many other people, it’s going to be a little self-limiting.

Nothing wrong perse, but talking about readability, we see the world in categories and we communicate abstractions in words, I didn't say flat data is wrong, but that word in particular being too long smells like a bit of structure is needed, just to add another dimension to consider, which is how we abstract things in the world and model them in software matters.
My point is, Python is no longer _trying_ to please scientific programming circles. It is developing, just not in these directions.

Human predation doesn't apply the same positive evolutionary pressures as apex predators. Typically predators eat the slowest, weakest, dumbest prey. Humans either target the biggest, strongest prey (if hunting individuals) or indiscriminately massacre a swathe of the ecosystem (eg. dragnet fishing).

This works a bit. But sometimes sharing memory is useful. Sometimes you may want to parallelise a local function, or a callable class instance - except you can't.

And when I say, "it works", that's clearly on Linux and Mac. On Windows multiprocessing is very severely stunted by lack of forking.

Meanwhile, probably even my watch supports threads.
Hello everyone!

I'm Anthony and I'm building Panelbear - https://panelbear.com

Super excited to announce that Panelbear is now open for business to all users!

It's been invite-only since early September, and thanks to the amazing feedback from the first 50 customers I've been able to focus on the most important features for the initial launch.

Happy to answer any questions here.

Cheers!
IV in my case. I'm not sure when they added it, but the HDMI port allows real-time output of what the camera is seeing. With an HDMI to USB capture converter it works perfectly as a camera device for any of my computers (limited to 1080p with my cheap converter, but that's more than enough for Zoom calls).
I know some game companies pay 250% hourly rate for weekend work or OT if crunch for release.

If that's the case most devs will actively want this.

That plus fact that after launch you're basically on paid vacation with lot less work and stress...

I'm ambivalent on the German tracing app and the prioritisation of privacy in this case.

On one hand, the app, its supporting infrastructure, and the open source process by which those have been developed and documented has been exemplary and could serve as a template for similar public projects.

The implementation and operating costs admittedly are quite excessive and there hasn't been a proper RFQ process but given the urgency of the matter I'm willing to file that under minor points of criticism.

However, there's been an excessive focus on privacy and almost privacy alone to the detriment of the app's actual purpose.

If privacy rules had been relaxed in order to, for example, allow health authorities to access personal information and additional location data that would've made tracing contacts much easier and much more effective.

It's absurd that while right now civil rights are restricted, sometimes severely so, and for the most part people seem to accept that, there's an almost religious adherence to dogma when it comes to privacy.

> Shark Allies, a nonprofit that advocates for the protection of sharks, projects that some 500,000 sharks could be killed if a coronavirus vaccine with shark squalene proves to be effective. Already, an estimated 2.7 million sharks are killed annually for their squalene to make cosmetics, according to the group.

So, why the hell not petition harder against more frivolous uses instead? This is like going after impoverished African villagers to reduce carbon emissions when Americans are driving around in big honking vehicles.

(Probably not the best analogy. No interest in debating the necessity of vehicle ownership.)
This is why this game is so dangerous. Also self reporting introduces bias too (biggest winners likely to report, everyone else not so much).

I think it is easier to reason about code if you cannot (accidentally) represent things that don’t exist in your model, which in my experience happens very easily with mutable state. I used a point as an example.
I appreciated this article because it was focused on what is going on in India, which was a welcome difference from the USA-focused articles I see more often. And yet, the needs of the children are the same. "Coding" is not the literacy we are teaching to children. We are teaching "computational thought". Logic, loops, algorithms. Everyone needs an understanding of what computing is, what it can do, how to approach it, and how to blend it into other subjects as a tool. Not everyone needs to be a coder or pursue technology for its own sake.

It’s funny you say our current system enables companies to “not die” in hard times. In reality, during hard times corporate socialism is used to ensure companies’ survival wherein the taxpayer bails our big companies. I see no reason why similar corporate socialism couldn’t be used in a different system.

It’s also interesting you think capitalism allocates capital effectively. I would argue the opposite, that it aims to concentrate wealth into the hands of the few. How many life saving startups die while Apple has hundreds of billions of dollars of cash? How many brilliant people are born into poverty and can’t enact their ideas, while Bezos buys his sixth house?
Intuitively I would expect that to work even with twisted-pair; each sensor needs to transmit for maybe a millisecond every 300 seconds, which would allow for 150,000 sensors while still using only half the available bandwidth. What am I missing?
Game reviews being bought by publishers is a long known fact, even from 90s. Maybe not direct money exchanging hands, but pages for early access and such. And everyone knows to laugh at IGN's and others' reviews. Knowing that they are just paid for hypemachines... Or at least don't dare to be truely critical for fear of not getting access next time. Still they do deliver marketing briefs in nice package so they kinda have a place.

What really triggered the gamergate was that writers directly attacked their audiences, with suspiciously similar articles from multiple-source at nearly same time. And that they care more about themselves and their buddies than their audience. And many don't even self-identify as hobbyist... Which really should be death knell for any hobbyist media.
High Gain Antennas and Apple's Exposure Notification System
I'd argue a fairer metric would probably be to compare gun deaths to car deaths; nearly twice as many people died to cars in 2019 [0] [1].

I definitely don't think Trump will be "Hitler 2.0". He probably won't even be in office after this election.

Again, however, my primary argument is normative and values-based. I'm not arguing that we only have gun rights because they don't kill x number of people. Even if a hundred thousand people were killed by mass shootings I wouldn't support gun restrictions. We don't restrict people's liberties because others break the law. The thing most gun grabbers miss and that most gun rights proponents won't say is that our primary value is liberty not saving more lives.

I can think of plenty of companies that failed simply because they were too ahead of their times. One cannot "time" the market. However, the playbook to survive in an early vs late scenarios are different. When you are entering a market late, you don't have to work hard to educate the market. For example, Apple literally created the touch screen mobile phone segment. Android phone makers only had to sell into that hype. However, when you are entering a crowded market, you need to have a really strong go-to-market strategy because you will have to find a way to break the strangelhold that your competitors have over the coversation.

On the other hand, when you enter the market too early, you might have the "novelty" factor but it's really difficult to stay under the radar: clones show up fairly fast. So unless you are able to stay underground and still grow fast (improbable but not impossible), your early-to-market advantage is really not that big of a deal.

Finally, the size of the addressable market also plays a big role. A large market can easily support new companies that can execute better.
I imagine the demand shock would be much greater given the urgency.

In any case, it’s perfectly valid to think through the implications of our actions and wonder about alternatives.

If it's really GPLv3, then that would be called "donationware", as free-as-in-freedom software is also free-as-in-beer, as the author acknowledges in the README.

The license seems ambiguous though because there's no LICENSE file in the repo and the website has copy about requiring a paid license to use the software; the only place GPLv3 is mentioned is in the README. I opened an issue requesting clarification.

You seem to imply that the use for the vaccine is something extra-objectable but the shark protection project objects to its use in general [0].

Regarding your other statements: catching 20% more sharks than before [1] sounds actually newsworthy. Furthermore you will have heard of a negligible number of all the things in existence before, no matter how well-read you are - so not having heard about something is hardly an argument for anything.

That was my thought, but it turns out cosmetics routinely kill 2-3 million sharks per year.

So instead the group is using coronavirus to bring attention to the issue. I find the ongoing cosmetics use much more disturbing, that’s a lot of sharks.
I never found that joke particularly clever because it misses the significance of having a base case. So it’s just about infinite loops. Is there a version of it that includes a base case?
This pretty much sums up humanity's stupidity and ignorance given the origin of this pandemic.
> Really?

A vaccine is not welcome. COVID-19 is the nexus of so many good things; shutting down businesses, making people stay home, giving the Powers That Be another wonderful thing to harangue and badger everyone with, mask shaming, a great campaign issue and so many others... The threat that all of these great things might eventually end with the arrival of a vaccine has turned the establishment and its fans into anti-vaxxers. Any downside to any hypothetical vaccine, no matter how tangential or far fetched, is echoed and amplified planet wide.

Startup Idea: Job Board with Minimum Salaries
It's an interesting story but the whole investigation seems rather slipshod.

> “The bulk of the evidence suggests that the Hum is not an acoustic sound.” He explained: “This is indicated by the simple fact that most people do not hear it.”

Surely it would be trivial to set up a sensitive microphone, record some samples when a "hum-hearer" says it's happening, and analyze the frequency spectrum? Instead they're just guessing that it's RF-related... but then the article goes on to discuss a bunch of sources of low frequency acoustic noise?

> For instance, multiple Hum hearers, if in the same room together, will match the Hum to different acoustic frequencies. “That never, ever happens with standard acoustic sources, of any frequency. It just simply never happens,” he says.

If only we had some kind of machine that could objectively measure acoustic frequencies...

If it were high pitched, we'd write it off as tinnitus. If there's no low-pitched equivalent (is there?) then it's probably just a sampling of people who live within a block or two of someone with a high-powered subwoofer on their stereo.
There is not yet any evidence that a vaccine using shark extracts will be successful.

We might be killed tens of thousands of sharks and more
for a notion that it may be beneficial and in the end we
killed them all for no reason.

Neither of the two vaccines that are being used on a large space now contain it.
Nice, I’ll have to look into diffwave, have not heard of that. You may have difficulty training on reverb effects due to the nature of the WaveNet model. It works well for distortion, but for effects that extend past around 50 milliseconds like reverb or delay, it might not be able to capture it properly.

Irrelevant. If your body extracts only 50Cal from a 100Cal cube of sugar, but you counted that 100Cal value against your daily limit, then you're still achieving your goal. The problem is often that people set too high a limit and overestimate how much they burn during exercise.
