I basically had to fill out a form along these lines to be able to do options trading.

"Do you know what an option is?", "Do you trade regular stocks now?", "Do you understand you may lose all your money with options?".

I suspect my brokerage doesn't even actually review the form, they just want to avoid people complaining that they YOLO'd on a Tesla call and lost everything. Given how easy it was, I am kind of in favor of it - it seems important to have a very obvious and plain disclaimer on high risk strategies like this.
steveklabnik is (of course) correct, but you also have to consider the performance cost of a dynamicaly sized slice versus a statically sized array.

A situation I've encountered several times already is implementing statically sized FIFOs. At the moment in Rust I can't implement a type "FIFO of depth N" where is a generic, static parameter. My only choices are implementing "FIFO of depth n" where n is provided dynamically at runtime (and implemented internally using something like a VecDeque) or a completely fixed depth FIFO type that I need to duplicate for every depth (FIFO32, FIFO16, FIFO10 etc...).

If you require very high performance a dynamically checked FIFO can incur a fairly large overhead when a well optimized static FIFO can implement most operations in a couple of opcodes at most.
I'm sure you could trade a handful of Patriot missiles and one or two F-35's to fund it several times over.

Back in the 1950s the US Government built a lot of space infrastructure in the South (Stennis, Redstone &c) to develop the backwards corners of the nation. There's no political will for that any longer, it seems.
You were right though - much better to use a heat pump ;)
Government doesn't have the resources to go after every fraud case so this would result in a lot of people losing their money forever.
No, it's a reflection of the state of US infrastructure.

Who's indignant? I'm just describing what will happen when DoH becomes the default.

I'll also note that Mozilla specifically says in their post:

> Our goal is that DoH becomes as ubiquitous for DNS as HTTPS is for web traffic

So their goal is to drive adoption of DoH. That will specifically interfere with people doing network-level DNS blocking.

Honestly, the defensiveness, here, is very odd...

It doesn't.

It comes down to this - Denmark completely rely on the international community, particularly the EU and US for defense.

If that fails, and let's say hypothetically, Germans attacked, what can Denmark do? Surrender in 4 hours is the preferred play.
No idea why you are being downvoted, is HN really a group of Apple shills? I have the Zephyrus G14 also and love it. I'm closely watching the M1 but I really don't think it can compete with a GTX 2060. That matters a lot to me.

It also has an AMD 4900HS which while not an M1 is a fantastic processor.
I'm far from being a communist but I disagree with you.

You have a third option in this case, block the ads.

If it's possible to block ads, it's a minor weakness in YouTube's business model - which, don't get me wrong, it's a pretty good model for generating revenue with a relative small team (given it generates 5bln$ in revenue).
If YouTube wouldn't allow users blocking ads it wouldn't be as popular.

In the same way I don't like copyright being enforced by governments (eg. DMCA, getting ISP to disclose data about their customers): if you sell your product so much that you can't find a way to understand and legally persecute which of your users is breaching your contract and redistribute your goods, that's the way of the market to tax the wealth you're making.

And I live off selling software (which gets copied and distributed on warez sites hosted where I can't touch them).

I'll pay that market tax happily, given I'm getting some marketing in return and stopping it would cost me more in legal fees than anything. What I don't like is paying for an inept government to steal my money, provide crappy service and threaten me with jail if I don't pay.

Ask HN: What's your opinion on Win32 API?
It is an old thing, yeah. Some interfaces are inconvenient to use and take a lot of options, most of which tend to be set to 0. There are plenty of macros and typedefs. String handling can be a bit of a pain with it's distinction of ASCII vs UTF-16.

Overall though it seems to be well documented and compared to other alreanatives more lightweight and performant. I heared it referred to as Windows world's POSIX.

Doing those things doesn't require moving to a new architecture. They can do those things perfectly fine on the current Intel systems. So your point is pure conspiracy theory.
Since this is referencing Tensorflow performance that implies Deep Learning models which are anything but small so I'm not sure I see your point.
It's not identical but no obvious reason why emitting ARM64 code from a compiler running on x86 hardware should be more onerous on ARM64 hardware.

Plus ARM64 is not really RISC in a meaningful way - it'll still be executing microcode under the hood.
This is not workable in Germany. There are huge fines for running YouTube businesses without putting business details at every location your video appears on the internet.

German State administrators have sent out such fines simply because videos made in Germany (even in English) which have advertising do not carry such additional business information.

These administrators will not know, nor care if you are in the YouTube Partner Program or not. They will simply send out the fines, which could bankrupt a small hobbyist.

This affects me directly, and I would have to remove my hobby channel from YouTube if they go ahead with this.

When I was 5 years old, I saw a pbs documentary about the Arecibo telescope. During a shot of a huge expanse of the telescope's metal, the narrator said something to the effect of "as one gets closer to the equator the sun's rays are stronger and the metal becomes too hot to touch". This, combined with the fact that I had a globe with a raised ridge around the equator, caused me to assume (for many years) that the equator was literally a metal ring that encircled the entire earth.

> I excelled at AP biology, but college biology was a total drag. Honestly, it's just the teachers, my high school teachers taught with passion in college it was a chore for my professors.

An AP biology teacher in high school is teaching a class with disproportionately the most predisposed-to-be-engaged students, and its the central part of their job, in which they are secure and focussed. A lower-division biology professor in a university is probably teaching a class with disproportionately the least predisposed-to-be-engaged students, and if they are a tenured or tenure-track professor at a research university, its also not the core of their job (if they aren't, its a core part of their job -- but one in which they are insecure, are more likely to be adjusting to, and which may be one of several jobs.)
That's not a supersonic propeller, that's a propeller with supersonic tip speeds. A supersonic propeller is a propeller that can work in a supersonic airstream. The XF-84H had a top theoretical speed of Mach 0.9, though in testing it was evaluated to be more like Mach 0.83, and even that's disputed, with another estimate being Mach 0.7. It never achieved these speeds.

The only plane to fly with a propeller at supersonic speeds was the XF-88B, though that was actually a jet aircraft that just had a propeller on the front for testing purposes - the vast majority of the thrust was still coming from the jet engines.

It's important to note that the financial regulation we have does not exist to regulate positive-EV games, it exists to regulate away outright scams. Not things where the principals are taking too many risks or where there are unknowables that sink the idea, but situations where the plan from the start is to attract investment, take it, and run away. (Elisabeth Holmes-style "fake it 'til you make it" is sort of in the middle here.)

The part that is hard is that it's really very hard to do prevent outright scams without a lot of collateral damage. In general, scam artists are better at understanding and applying any rules than the regulators or the police. Successful ones are also better at marketing their scams to ordinary people than non-scam-artists are at marketing their real business proposals. (After all, a successful scam artist only needs to have skills about marketing their proposal, but a team that is building something real has to have those skills and skills that are useful for building something real.)

Much like we know from history that bad money drives out the good, we also have overwhelming historical evidence that in a completely unregulated market, the scams and the amount of money they attract will massively overwhelm actual business. The regulations around the financial markets are "scam-driven", in the same way that FAA regulations are "funeral-driven". Every line of text exists because someone somewhere managed to steal so much money from so many people, that the victims managed to complain enough about how this shouldn't be possible that it became law. The natural progression of rules in both cases is towards less regulation, as everyone is perfectly aware that the regulation that exists is stifling and damaging, so over time the regulations are reduced and enforcement becomes more lax, until something like 737MAX or Madoff happens and regulations need to be tightened again.

There is no chance that anyone will ever strike all these regulations down with enough funding and "the right judges", simply because anyone who understands the space understands that while the regulation we have is bad, the alternative is so, so much worse.

We need to bring back the culture of small business charging for the software, and users paying for it. If your software is paid, your revenue generally scales with your user base, so you can go full time on the project, or even start hiring people to help you. Also, since your revenue comes directly from your users, you want to listen to their requests and align your software with them. You can't just release an overnight patch pissing most users off, because you will feel the monetary loss right away.

Except, these days, people expect consumer software to be free. So it's either the naive founder driving themselves to a burnout, or one of the big companies monetizing it indirectly (by charging for their cloud platform, or via ads). Maintainers lose, users lose, corporations win.

Yes, YouTube is an amateur outlet for sure, at least the majority of it, just see how many worthless information and popular advices there is in the platform.
I know where you are coming from but you are missing one big thing. Inherently in all observations coming from a newspaper, to a research paper and to an intelligence agency the reporting will be biased. What you have to do instead is to figure out what the bias is from that source of information and then combine the other sources to attempt to understand the outcome. The second thing is to remove your own inherent bias.

Not arguing with your point, because it has merit, but do want to add that part of the problem with math education (at least here in the US) is structural: for most students, to start with what they know when they enter and to graduate in 4 years with a engineering / science / math / CS degree that means something, there is just too much to "cover." So we tend to cover "methods and tools," e.g., calculus first, with the motivation (e.g., electrical circuits or statistical regression or what have you) later. This lack of context makes it very hard to see how things fit together. For my own part, I usually learned the material from one course when I needed to use it in a subsequent course -- it's in going back to review the material when I really learn it.

Edit: also want to add that providing context in early courses isn't always easy, because students are much more diverse now in their career plans. It used to be (this tells you how old I am) that many of the students taking calculus would also be taking (or have taken) a calculus-based physics course. Those days are long gone.

I used to frequent a relatively niche forum that I think was built on custom code. I don't know how common this is in the popular forum packages now, but it started publishing a list of top posters (by quantity of posts).

Gamifying engagement led to a subset of people competing for the top 10 positions and commenting on literally every thread. This was rewarding for a handful of people, but created a worse experience for everyone else. And from the outside, it looked like these people were suffering from serious addiction.

I suppose it's a universal truth that a small group can poison a large community when given a poorly (or excellently depending on your view) conceived incentive, but Facebook has shown how well this model scales in the digital world.

It could happen with this Biden presidency, although most likely with whoever comes after him. If you think about easy money and interest rates, with Obama the lowering of interest rates made sense, the country was coming out of a long protracted recession and the money was needed to grease the gears of the economy so to speak.

With the Trump presidency he made his north star be the stock market(and keeping it high) and its why he heavily pressured the Fed to keep interest rates extremely low to supercharge the economy(and make him look good).

If a vaccine comes quickly and is highly effective long term and covid is eradicated by late spring/summer I expect a big jump in the stock market and a red hot housing market, this would be a time to slowly increase the interest rates, wall street won't like it but at some point it will have to happen.
