Feinstein claims that she no longer has a CCW permit, but that she once did. So while Feinstein once probably had most or all of the CCW permits issued in SF county, that is no longer true.
Very reasonable! Thank you for the discussion :)
Yeah, I mean, I really doubt Edx has a particular vendetta against Iranians. It's a huge legal problem if it turns out that one or another Justice Department decides you're violating sanctions, in exchange for... no real gain.

(I suspect that accepting payment from Iran is another huge risk in itself)

I think you’re out of touch then. I see what perspective you are trying to make happen, its not very relevant. The answer was “yes”, three times now. You are trying to make this other Hallmark fanfiction happen thats just isn't the worth entertaining.

Edit: should clarify, was making a joke.
Apple has been using x86 for practically 15 years now. Your theory is this whole time they've been too lazy to bother to implement "god mode" ?

What about Windows and Linux on x86? Also too lazy?

It can be fun to put on the tin foil hat, but at least make sure the theory makes even a little bit of sense first.
> I actually think RoR is an utter garbage fire the second you have a team of 3+.

This isn't a a Rails issue, I have worked on teams with 30+ members with no problems. It is an organizational problem.

> The second you need to touch a config file, suddenly you have to know exactly what version of rails you're running (because they change config names CONSTANTLY), and what the asset pipeline was like in that version, and so and such forth.

I cannot remember the last time I needed to touch a Rails configuration truthfully. I prefer not to touch any configuration. This is a subjective opinion, but less I need to configure the app over time the more stable the configuration is. The configurations don't change that much, you expect them to change during major version releases. I don't know how often you change Rails versions.

> Of course, googling what you want links you to docs for Rails from 2 years ago, which no longer works.

Ok this one I am going to strongly disagree with. Rails has some really good documentation, and solutions are very easy to find for a lot of problems.

> Also, the older I get, the more I want type systems. I should try giving Sorbet a spin (ruby, but with types), Because RoR on a large team is a nightmare. Types would help a lot.

But Ruby is not a typed system out of the box, it is supposed to be duck typed. Now while I might have a leaning towards typed systems also myself, it is not a limitation of the language and layering types on top of duck typing erodes some of the flexibility.
Okay, but why cryptocurrencies specifically? If you find some infinite leverage exploit on coinbase, how are the effects different compared to one on robinhood? The gp commenter mentioned something involving "separation of ownership in a case of bankruptcy", but even then, I don't see how that's any different than finding a infinite leverage exploit on robinhood, finding a withdraw exploit, withdrawing to your bank account, then buying cryptocurrencies with it. At the end of the day as long you can find a infinite margin exploit + withdraw exploit on any margin platform, you can make wealth dissapear into the aether of cryptocurrencies.
Let's say your response rate for initial messages is 10%. Next is if a girl will engage beyond the initial response chances drop from 10% to something like 3%. Then they have to accept your call to action. We are down to even a lower percentage now.

With these kinds of numbers working against you you need scale on your side or your getting nowhere fast. But if you are able to contact 10k people what comes out of those small percentages are decent numbers.
I strongly disagree that this is some essential property of humankind. I think what you're describing is the learned helplessness [1] associated with trauma and abuse created by people like this. Is it common? Yes. Is it something we should shrug at? Fuck no.

Certain components cannot be scaled by just adding more machines. For example, scaling a matching engine is slightly more involved than that.
I sure hope so. In macOS 10.15, the fast path for a retain on a (non-tagged-pointer) Obj-C object does a C11 relaxed atomic load followed by a C11 relaxed compare-and-exchange. This seems pretty standard for retain-release and I'd expect Rust's Rc<> to be doing something similar. It's possible Apple added some other black magic to the runtime in 10.16 (and they haven't released the 10.16 objc sources yet) but it's hard to imagine what they'd do that makes more sense than just optimizing for relaxed atomic operations.
I don't get the anti-Linux comments here. I use Manjaro with XFCE as my daily driver and I haven't had to tinker with shit on it since I set it up. Has nobody tried this distro?

Everything I need to do on it runs like a dream. Installing software is easier than anything, especially since I just use the GUI for that. I've had more trouble with Mac and Windows.

Even other Linux distros that I've tried don't really stand up to Manjaro. Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives have you hunting down PPAs and using the terminal to add things - maybe that's the "tinkering" that annoys people? If so, I wholly recommend you try Manjaro or another Arch based distro.
The exact reason is out of my depth, but the original quote makes it clear that there is something. Memory bandwidth would be one possibility.
Those diagrams seem completely unreliable to me.

I know multiple founders who have 1gbit/s fiber lines to their homes in Berlin. Plus all 3 major providers (1&1, Telekom, O2) offer up to 250mbit/s there.

Also, you expect me to believe that the internet speeds in France and Germany magically went down from 2017 to 2018 and 2019?

BTW, my guess would be that most people stay at around 30mbit because it's good enough for 4K YouTube streaming and still affordable.

Messaging in Zigbee (i.e. sending data back and forth) is all about two things: addressing (endpoint, profile and cluster... kind of like port + URI for HTTP, where endpoint=port and profile+cluster=URI), and the payload itself. The Zigbee specification defines a variety of standard profiles that devices may choose to implement. Things like device temperature, on/off switch, metering, time, lighting, etc.

But nothing says that any given device, say a Zigbee light controller (on/off) from manufacturer X, MUST implement the standard on/off cluster for that. They could have their own manufacturer-specific profile+cluster for controlling the light, where a payload of 0x11 turns it on, 0x22 turns it off, and 0xF7 toggles the light. Or maybe you send the ASCII string "on".

Suppose that HA has implemented the functionality needed to interact with the standard on/off cluster. That functionality would work with devices that implement the standard cluster, but not with manufacturer X's device that needs the string "on". But then, HA could be updated to recognize such devices and implement the required functionality.

Assuming you're familiar with HTTP: just because two services both consume and produce JSON, doesn't mean the message bodies are interchangeable.
Yup! My apartment building was pre-wired for fiber and I can get WaveG, Century Link, or WebPass. I can also get Comcast if I wanted to torture myself.

That’s the most options I have ever had in my entire life for an ISP. We’re with WaveG and have no reason to switch but the fact that I have multiple fiber options if I need to makes me really happy.

In Brooklyn, I couldn’t get FiOS in my building even though the building across the street and next door could do it. Something with the zoning and no matter how hard we (and Verizon) tried, nada. The upshot was Cablevision was an exceptional ISP (let me run a server out of the apartment as part of the written TOS, which was incredible), but it was still slower than FiOS.

In Atlanta, my parents’ house was prewired for fiber and gigabit but they have been stuck with not even the fastest available cable because of ISP tie-ups. It’s painful and they have zero choice.
Web Dev Changes Thoughts on Mir
Didn't believe in mercury in retrograde until I became a web developer. Now all the packages I use break every six months.
I doubt Apple allows anyone with the knowledge to speak about it.
It's not plausible. They don't play a role in "covering orders" aside from providing settlement. That's the job of market makers, who will be less willing to participate after outages.

The outages aren't related to insufficient liquidity and only hurt Coinbase.
Is anyone actually making any money on day-trading Bitcoins? I bought a couple Bitcoins back in 2012 and have just sat on them the last 8 years. In general, the market for this stuff is so astronomically weird that it really doesn't make sense to try to trade in it at all..
Caps on Comcast are coming in January.
Do they actually produce something valuable for society, or is it just the trading profit they are after?
I'd actually written something very similar, without the rigour, a few years ago.

> I still have trouble picturing how this conspiracy would work.

Not saying that Coinbase does this, but incoming wires/ACH/whatever continue to roll in during an outage, but they can stop the initiation of any outgoing xfers, and then be slow with them claiming a backlog.

A big Canadian exchange, quadrigacx that blew up ~2 years ago was doing all sorts of tricks like this. Their bankruptcy is still ongoing, but somehow ~9 dollar in 10 went missing. The other 1 of 10 was frozen by a bank and eventually returned as $5m bank drafts that no bank would accept.

Kinda like "Your money is in Bill's house, and Fred's house", except Bill and Fred didn't have houses.

Those of us who are long enough in UI design know what is a result of attention to detail and professional GUI. We have all used Os X not only for UNIX like core (Darwin) but for consistent UX and UI libraries. In some point in time Apple was influencing our work in really meaningful way by setting the standard (remember Apple Human Interface Guidelines pre Yosemite).
For me personally Soundtrack Pro is most polished professional interface ever made. So in this context UI “innovation” trough emoji and implementation of white space for touch interaction (without touch interaction) is funny but not usable. Performance aside ( which is big accomplishment ) I miss the old approach with balance of contrast and natural flow and will stay on Catalina as long as I can. If Apple changes their stance on telemetry, bypassing things and fixes UI/UX design I have no problem to join again. What is lacking in Linux desktop is consistent approach to UI, but for some of us may be is time to revaluate and relearn things. My personal time investment is in Emacs, with time I have more and more respect for those ideas of freedom and consistency. The selling point for me with Apple was professional interface and high UI standards, sadly they are gone. But hey everyone of us is different and this is good, right?

I'm sorry but whats wrong with this?

It's exactly the job of the Australian intelligence agencies to protect for the countries interests and gain advantages where they can.

This case is even more reasonable as it's a country spying on a country so both parties have the opportunity do so.

The NSA has directly spied on corporations (Airbus) and passed the information to their own corporations (Boeing) in the past which seems less acceptable to me.
>But isn't prediction an inherent part of valuation?

Doesn't need to be. You have wealth you have to store somehwere because it is not being spent now. Can store it as equities, debt (including a bank account), Paper cash money under the mattress, gold bars, BTC, etc etc.

Let's say you have the list of potential places to store it and can get a price/value ratio but with a common term of "X" in the value

- A = 3.1/X
- B = 2.8/X
- C = 1.9/X
- D = 4.2/X

Gotta put it somewhere if you aren't spending it. In the above you'd Choose "C". Lowest price to value ratio even though you don't know what the actual value is.

Yes, this is a massive simplification as it ignores diversification benefits and so on but there's the basics of the usefulness of valuation where you don't and can't know the value.

"prediction of the market" here means "Do you think the S&P500 is going up or down this year?" Warren Buffet completely ignores this, takes no view on it. Timing the market is very hard. Assuming the market will reflect the economy and the economy will grow because people work hard, are smart, we invent new things and population increases, then picking the best of what's available is the normal value investors route, a la Buffet as the most famous practioner.

Burton Malkiel's "A Random Walk Down Wall St." is still, IMHO the best summary of all the theory and practise of investing - excluding the quant funds like Renaissance. Maybe he has an update for them? Maybe it's also worth reading if it exists or maybe not. Don't know.

No idea if renaissance time the market or what.

edit: punctuation and the Malkiel recommendation.

I think you can in 4.1 add --generateTrace and the output path. The result you can inspect in the browser.
Also there's -- extendedDiagnistics if I remember correctly that tells you which part of the compilation process takes what time
My personal feeling is that the compiler writers have gone overboard in their literal interpretation of "undefined behaviour". C on any real world machine has quite well defined (and expected) behaviour. In the real world we don't expect to have to support 6 bit or 18 bit CPUs today. Numbers are stored in binary, not trinary. The C spec should really be tightened up to define a lot of what was left undefined for these relics of history.

The worst example of undefined behaviour abuse by a compiler is when gcc developers decided it was a good idea to optimize away a NULL pointer check just because the pointer was dereferenced. Seriously? Sometimes I really wonder who comes up with the idea that removing code the developer wrote is OK, but I guess that's the primary goal of any optimizing compiler.

It looks like the largest IPO may have been Alibaba's, and they were valued at $230B at the time [0]

IPO sizes are about the amount raised, and I'm not sure what the typical ratios are between amount raised & total valuation, or how much variance there is. I would be curious to know what an amount raised might be expected for a $100B company.

When it comes to bitcoin exchanges, there really is no need for conspiracy theories - there have been multiple high profile stories of very large players engaged in fraud, embezzlement, and duplicitous price fixing, and they are completely unregulated.

Your confidence in coinbase, given they are unregulated in any meaningful way, is IMO misplaced.
This was downvoted but it's actually true. Most volume is speculation driven and every speculator prefers the less regulated high leverage derivative venues. Regulations have hurt Coinbase's volume in the exact same way that Japanese regulations almost killed Bitflyer. The biggest exchanges are now mostly Chinese - Huobi and Ok.
Rainbow tables don't make sense for a salted hash. So you're immediately narrowing down to only cases where an unsalted hash is used, like Microsoft's NTLM system or some older web systems that do MD5(password) or similar.

Building a rainbow tables is much more expensive (compute time, storage) than just breaking any individual hash. So unless you break hashes all day every day, you probably need to share that expense somehow, but then you can't customize. Maybe a large group of you want all of the old "NT hash" values, that's easy enough, but agreeing to do 5-7 alphanumerics for MD5() means the person attacking a site with an eight character minimum gets nothing out of it.

So aside from things like NT hash it has fallen out of favour.
This seems kind of pedantic, since the "NeXT Computer" and the "Cube" where both cubes. They needed to change the name after the slab (NeXTstation) was released.

In my opinion, the next custodial exchange to explode isn't a matter of if, but when, when, [...] and when.
Yikes. That's the same shenanigans that got them into trouble with the 68000. Everyone stuffed data into the top 8 bits of pointers because even though the 68000 had 32-bit addressing registers, it only had a 24-bit address bus and the top 8 bits were dontcare's. Then, the 6802x came out with more address lines and...

...and that's basically why x86_64 was specified to require a particular bit pattern in high-order bits - it was to stop applications and OS programmers from writing a bunch of software with tagged pointers which would tie Intel's and AMD's hands when adding address lines. I guess Apple is ok with tying their own hands.
Heh, I'm in the 2020 MBP group. But I still think these M1 Macs--as awesome as they undoubtedly are--are not quite yet ready for developers. Virtualization support still looks iffy, and while I really don't care much whether my container is Arm or x86, the ecosystems and tooling around those architectures are still at different levels of maturity.

The exciting (or depressing, for the 2020 crew) thing is that the fact that these M1 Macs are such a triumph probably does mean that these various rough edges will be smoothed out way faster than even I, a self admitted Apple fan, expected them to be.

I was thinking I'd be waiting until 2022 or 2023 before being ready as a developer to have my primary device be an Apple Silicon laptop. But with the overwhelming success of these chips, every developer wants to be on these things ASAP. I could easily see the ecosystem for Arm being radically improved over the next year.

And you could break it down recursively by task as well.
This is definitely not my field, but a sliding window requires N values to be stored (the window size, so you can subtract each element that ages out of the window from the running sum), while this appears to require only 1 value to be stored.
Didn’t you mean that the other way around? If Ruby ecosystem became what current JS ecosystem is now, it wouldn’t be Ruby anymore, at least the way people who love it love it. I’m not quite sure that it would benefit from dispersion of focus on itself onto flavour of the <insert your noun here> every <relatively frequent period of time>. It’s such a good language to write stuff in not least because indeed it keeps trying to move along the axis of that aspect of it.
How does this work? Isn't reference counting a lot of +1 and -1?
Yeah I was using Espurna on my lightbulbs that I replaced the firmware with (they were Tuya-based bulbs so I swapped them for Espurna). It was rock solid but I decided to move to Esphome as I liked the YAML based config, makes for a more "infra-as-code" style for IoT devices :)

Since then I'm using it on all kinds now, my own ESP32 dev board like I mentioned for the BLE sensors, and a variety of Shelly 1 devices and random brands of WiFi smart plugs from Amazon.
That's great to hear. Too often I get caught up in ideas for projects that fit my interests, but don't fit the rest of the world. This looked like that kind of project, but I'm glad it isn't.
I've also discovered that this type of bottom up approach is faster than the top down approach.

Starting with an example gives a more concrete frame of reference.

I don't think this is just a matter of personal preference either. I believe that the way you learn a new concept is the same way as how you learn to navigate a new physical environment. We don't have a GPS in our brain for mapping, we learn locations by reference to other locations.
Could you recommend more like that?
