Isn't the whole story of The Big Short summed up by "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent"? As I recall, he barely survived. Under slightly different circumstances, he wouldn't have.

Maybe he's right about Tesla, though Tesla seems to have a real innovation that's hard to price (and goes well beyond being a car maker). But even if he is, he's playing a very dangerous game. Shorts are an enormous risk, and getting it right once doesn't mean he can do it again.

It’s especially unnecessary when AWS has considerably more information available with the right questions to ask:

Presumably you can revert to a previous tag/label in source control and reload the previous procs/funcs to roll back versions.

The apps I have been working on are monoliths which run at about 2% CPU on the server, so there is no A/B comparison runs in production (e.g. on January 1, some law goes into effect and you WILL implement it). I would happily see ORM usage curb stomped.
Maybe they meant easy as "once you have this setup, capturing traffic from this point forward becomes easy".
"I'm confused. Are you trying to say that Stripe is violating their own policies by offering a clearing-house API to facilitate their customers getting loans from banks?"

I think your parent is expressing (among other things) frustration about the fact that Stripe is presenting this product as a very modern, very Internet-based, very progressive product that we expect will be governed by the same kind of opaque, sometimes capricious enforcement of ToS/AUP that google uses to unexpectedly lock people out of their gmail accounts or "de-monetize" their youtube accounts for no discernible reasons ...

... but at the same time, this isn't a free email account and it isn't a video service - it's serious, grownup business involving real money.

So the question becomes, what kind of people are manning the back end infrastructure and how much of it is driven by algorithms ? As your parent describes, he can go to an actual bank and sit down with a real employee and have a substantive conversation with nuance and understanding ... which you can't have with an algorithm.
The pause button is great. One thing that I find as more theaters have a bar out front where you can order a cocktail or a big 20oz draft beer is that I can't enjoy such things because I'll inevitably have to get up to hit the bathroom at some point during the movie.

At home, we can pause for bathroom breaks, snacks, etc. once or twice during a movie without too much interruption but with zero missing of scenes or annoying people as you squeeze back and forth down the rows when you need to get up.
If you are interested in checking a completely different approach, you can look at Secrez https://github.com/secrez/secrez. It is a CLI secret manager that supports git repo for distribution. Using other packages in the suite, Secrez allows direct communication between local desktop accounts using SSL tunneling.

Curious if one would even receive the notification emails prior to content deletion.

Once you hit the 15gb limit, you stop receiving emails within 24 hours. 2 years is plenty time versus "Hey. You are out of storage. In 24 hours, we're cutting off communication." [1]

illegality was never really about deterrence. deterrence is just a narrative and there is not a ton of evidence suggesting its efficacy.

ie: see statistics of vehicle crashes directly linked to speeding, texting and driving, or reckless driving which includes DUI. these are top of the chart causations that are illegal, where frequency has increased over the years, not gone down -- not to be conflated with a decrease in fatalities, which appears to be more a result of better structural/impact design of vehicle models, than because people are deterred from breaking the above classes of laws.

WV used to top the charts in vehicular fatalities as a result of DUI, despite illegality during that era of its history.

also, see deterrence and the argument for capital punishment. there's not a ton of evidence here but admittedly it's been a long time since i've studied ethics.

perhaps it is one of those common sense things we understand before we prove.

with that said, regardless, illegality as a concept was designed strictly as a means to enforce accountability in the context of a free society when there exists evidence of an action: you are free to act but may be held accountable (law).

in my opinion that is all illegality should ever be: a framework of accountability.

now, what is determined to be illegal is of course the debate and subject to collective agreement within a free society.

Nice.
I wouldn't read anything into that zero votes thing. Bills come up in the Senate for all sorts of reasons. Lobbyists run the bidding process. If they pork it up enough (like, say, CARES act) it will pass. In the end it may not have any of the horrible features that radio show has you worrying about. Besides there's nothing wrong with solar and wind power. They're less centralized than the competition, they're at least as economical, and they cause less pollution. Throwing a few subsidies their way (especially if they're focused on domestic manufacture) isn't going to seriously hurt anyone, although it might make Elon even more smug. Haven't you heard? Subsidies are free. We can print as many dollars as we need. That's how they fight all these ridiculous wars.

If I thought, as you seem to think, that we're going to get a "green dictatorship" I would be more worried. After all, as TFA has it, top-down control isn't required:

Meanwhile, during the same 20-year period, the United States reduced the share of fossil fuels in its primary energy consumption from 85.7 percent to 80 percent, cutting almost exactly as much as Germany did. The conclusion is as surprising as it is indisputable. Without anything like the expensive, target-mandated Energiewende, the United States has decarbonized at least as fast as Germany, the supposed poster child of emerging greenness.

(The "civil war" is going to come when Mike Pence gets a constitutional amendment passed about who is allowed in what public bathroom.)
> I think Deepmimd is (still) more representative of British ingenuity.

It’s kind of like the strategy in World War II: combine British ingenuity (DeepMind) with America. resources(Google).
They added Jeff's response later. I just read it. They thought the paper is missing important information and doesn't meet the bar. Fair point. That's why there's an internal review process. Her reaction was childish. She took it personally and emailed a rant to the Women list even though it has nothing to do with her being a woman, nor black. She also demanded to reveal the reviewers. (again it shows she is sure it was personal). All her public interactions so far show clearly what kind of person she is. She should join academia where she can publish whatever she wants. I'm sure she made a ton of money at Google and I wouldn't be surprised if she is going to milk more money from them via a lawsuit. She is a privileged woman.
I agree. Make sure it's not a framebuffer, because it also adds latency.
My reaction in a similar situation was to rather preserve his privacy. I don't know that mailboxes should be made available to relatives after one dies.
It is not for team, right now. But I can add features in that direction if there is interest from the community.
It's a pretty accurate cost estimate from those tracking Ax series costs. A chip AMD sells for $300 doesn't cost AMD $300 to make, but being a public company their gross margins tell us it costs roughly $150.
And they ignore the viability of producing the object at scale. Making one and making one billion are worlds apart.

I do not hope to imply that this is a unique problem on OSX. I just disagree a bit that you have to conform to a standardized way to use a platform. Perhaps you do, with OSX, and it is a unique problem there? Obviously due to market structure, Microsoft gears Windows to "everyone" without being the "best" for many people, although it tends to be the best for PC gaming.

What is holding me back from trying the M1, personally, is cost. I just paid $950 for a Ryzen 7 4800H with 16GB and GTX 1660 Ti. It can't hold a candle to an M1 Macbook in battery life, but I know I can run my programs and play my games and not think twice about it. My failsafe is an electrical outlet. I'm hoping I can end up trying an M1 (or successor) through an employer though! I spent the past year using a ~2014 Macbook Pro through work, and for work things, it was better than my Windows machines for working on projects where everyone else used bash on a Mac. As WSL improved, I was able to be equally productive on my Windows machines and tend to use them and not bother with the Macbook Pro.

That's all a lot of extra anecdote you didn't need, but to be sure, I'm not trying to single out OSX - the OP singled it out by saying, essentially, "you're using it wrong!"
I'm interested to see what Apple comes out with for the higher-end MacBook Pros, iMac Pro, and Mac Pro. I expect to see the M1 used in the iMacs, although ...

That could be a single higher-end chip, with possible multi-socket support for the Mac Pro? Or it could be two chips: one for the iMac and laptops, and a beefier one for the Pro desktops?

Either way, they absolutely need to compete with Zen3 on highly parallel loads. The co-processors (GPU, NPU, etc) are an advantage for general usage, but for many devs, basic CPU core counts and high I/O speeds are the winner.

I hope they come up with something that's equivalently good as the M1 is as a low-end laptop chip.
They wouldn't even share with her the feedback on her paper to give her the opportunity to fix it. They didn't have to say who the feedback was from, but they could've at least told her the substance of the feedback.
Seeing this kind of thing is why I keep putting "Be Nice!" into the MOTDs on all my machines.

I know I flip out at people on the internet sometimes but I hope I never become someone like that.
That makes a lot more sense. I always pictured it as dinner first, then the movie, or just the movie itself, which never made sense.

Still, how long could a conversation after the movie about the movie even last? "Yeah I liked it, it was funny when that side character said X, and it was cool when plot twist Y happened." 5 minutes later you're back where you were unless you're both film buffs and do a whole critique of it.

I prefer date activities where you can talk about them as you do them. Even bowling sounds more fun than a movie date, to me. But maybe that's just me.
In a weird way, it's kinda comforting that other people have felt this. I spent ten (!) years trying to recover my childhood e-mail address which got hacked when I was a kid (password was 1123456789, lol). It was only this year that I _finally_ got to a human support agent who could verify my ID and told me that the account was completely wiped.

It was a bittersweet moment, for sure.
Apple is absolutely leading on this front, starting in the phone space. That being said, I don't think their lead over other distributors is especially large. Apple has taken ARM seriously, and built performance chips in their mobile devices that if not for thermal constraints would handily compete with x86 systems. That being said, the same is true of a Snapdragon. Apple ARM, and certainly M1, is better than the competition, but that's because no one else has looked for performance from ARM. The chip designers haven't really been pushed yet. Now that M1 has demonstrated what can happen when the technology is freed from the phone, we'll see people catch up.
yeah, why not just use libsolv or something?

> Hopefully you can find a good babysitter and get back to the theater more too (when it's safe of course).

Ugh. We actually found the most amazing babysitter ever. She is a high school student and watched the kids during the day for us in summer until school started. We were so excited that we could finally go to movies again.

And then the pandemic kicked in. Sadly, by the time it's safe to go to movies again, she'll have graduated and left. :(
It's still so vastly different. In a movie theater you are forced to not play with your phone, etc while watching. Even though you are just sitting you are getting "out" of normal life for a while. You get better immersion and there is a shared experience that you simply can't get at home. I fear that movie theatres are soon going to be a "luxury" as small theaters are killed and they try to turn them all into the "dinner and a movie" thing for higher margins, which to me completely defeats the entire purpose. There is something awesome about walking out of a great movie, the lighting outside is so different than when you came in and it's a great surreal experience in and of itself.
It does depend on project scale, and what you're doing with it.

A full compile of my project on my 2950X (16 core threadripper gen 1) takes 4m20s.

If I'm messing around with a new GUI-visible feature, then yes, often it's 1 or 2 files to compile, then a link step (thank you, llc, for parallel linking). Anything can handle that, even if it is C++ :)

But if I'm doing a change to the core headers, it typically means multi-minute wait even on the threadripper. And that's something I've been doing for a couple of months now, working on basic architectural changes. The idea of doing such work on machine that took 50-100% longer to do a full build would be a serious problem.

I don't see anything on the horizon (yet) that uses Apple silicon that helps that kind of development process.
The code in the second one is explaining the code in the async book! So it sorta kinda is.
It took the original as well as your quote, but my hot-take is: FB loves to automate; FB wants to scale hiring; FB automates an annoying process. Oops, that step (done automatically) is technically illegal. However, it probably never really came up in review or was optimistically ignored.

I'm torn between the "FB should be allowed to scale!" side vs the protectionist "Forcing higher demand would materially impact my personal wages in this profession."

IANAL or a FB employee.
That's not clear to me, nor apparently to most people who are interpreting this situation.
Being critical is fine. Brad Fitzpatrick wasn't fired for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpsMkLaEiOY and Google still hosts that piece of (legitimate!) criticism.
I don't even know what to make of this.
I don't think it needs to be fully global, just a significant market. EU's mandate on USB-C chargers is one example where you lose a lot by opting out.
To build on your analogy, in some cultures people use exclusively one of their hands to eat, and the other to clean their butts. We could learn do the same with two phones, I guess.
Currency is just a vehicle for the transfer of value. What traits should a currency have?
Something fishy about submitting paper with 1 day notice before its deadline when internal review process takes 2 weeks - she must have known the drill as she published dosens of papers before at G. Approval sounds like somebody's mistake maybe, not awaiting for review feedback for submission and submitting - feels strange. Especially when followed by threat of leaving company if identities of people consulted in review process is not revealed, at the same time being involved in litigation against G while on G's payroll etc.

It's like you have good Silicon Valley espisode just from that, I'm not sure if I buy total innocence here.
No matter how much I read on the subject, I always feel like the true nature and complexity of money eludes me. I don’t mean to disparage your comments, but I believe they reflect a lack of appreciation for the magnitude of the subject.
Author here - totally fair. It is pretty high level. Distributing across AZs is mentioned in the fact it only accounts for HA, not DR.

The intent of this post was mainly to counter the arguments I was seeing online that dismissed multi-region setups as a way to guard against AWS outages because "it's too hard." I merely wanted to point out there is a way to do it without it being super complicated, or super expensive. There seems to be a trend to build super fancy architectures and as a whole, many people have neglected the simple "good enough" options.
Also a massive security hole. I needed to do a password reset on my old ebay account, but the hotmail account it was attached to was deleted, so I just created a new hotmail account with the same name, and reset my password. I've done this maybe three or four time, because I haven't used hotmail since high school, so they keep deleting it.

A lot of people also have password resets on gmail linked to their old hotmail accounts, so you can just re-create their old hotmail to hijack their current gmail.
This code is all about learning about how this stuff works at a deeper level. To use async Rust, you need to write none of this code.
Just because many bills don't pass doesn't mean that bills in progress shouldn't be discussed on forums such as this one.
First of all, Quake III was released in 1999 - that's way after the low-latency days already.

Secondly, not every PC in 1999 was capable of even running QIII (let alone at a high frame rate).

During the days of true low-latency gaming, actual game frame rates were in the low 20s and even consoles rarely achieved 50 or 60 fps.
After losing two hard drives in the same week, I now consider cloud backup to be more reliable. I did eventually (a couple of years later) manage to fix one of the drives by freezing it, but for a while I thought I'd lost several years worth of photos. The rule around having data in at least 3 places is definitely a sound one.
It matters because its not just adding electricity, its adding heat. Pretty clearly Apple can add a whole bunch of Firestorm cores to future M1 derivatives and still fit in smaller power/heat budgets that current generation Ryzen and Threadrippers operate in.
There was an iOS 9 glitch that disabled all animations, and it was so satisfying to open apps and have them show up immediately. Made the phone feel super fast
Gruber has also cited plenty of benchmarks in other posts. So he didn’t on this one. So what?
By "two wifi interfaces" do they mean "two physical wifi cards/chips/dongles"? Put differently, is an "interface" defined in terms of hardware or software?
Yeah and it could go both ways. You can try to get something out of it or also what if you're tied to their problems(eg. debt) that would suck. But yeah TL;DR I don't really remember my own father so would be nice to see more of what his life was like.
They weren't scare quotes. They were quotes because I have no idea what your name is. I always figured this was probably some kind of joke handle making fun of Sam Altman.

But I have removed the offensive quotation marks.

I don't know why some total stranger on the internet is calling me by my first name. I have no idea who in heck you are. We aren't friends.

What does that mean? I'm being talked down to like a five year old? Or I've finally achieved celebrity status in spite of still being dirt poor and unable to pay my bills?

I'm guessing it's not anything good given how poor I am and how little respect I get.

Edit in response to your edit:

This isn't true of THC, they simply aren't comparable in the way you're trying to compare them.

Yeah, I already conceded your point and tried to clarify my real point and conceded that I royally effed that up.
My point exactly. Btw, I'm one of those invisibly disabled people you mention. "Luckily", I also have massive scarring all over, so I don't have to explain myself to people as much.
> Even the wait for I-140 approval is unpredictable

Yes, but you have the option of premium processing for I-140 and I think the benefits far outweigh the cost in this case.
I too like the feeling of xrays shooting into my eyes point blank for 12 hrs every day.
This is a very dangerous stance to take. You are advocating for a purely authoritarian mode of management, applied universally without concern for context.
That's true, but there are many ways to "serve the nation". Note that a foreigner who comes to work in a country will also be a tax payer, the same way a US citizen is. In addition, given the barriers to entry, they might be more qualified than the equivalent "native" employee (since the company is willing to pull the extra effort). They might become citizens after some time as well. Also, if you make it hard to hire necessary talent from abroad (as is the case in the US, and to a lesser extent in Europe as well), you end up making your own companies weaker in the process.
Why not? Adults stream movies.
Yes, the problem with this power is the inevitable folly of short term fixes (through interest rates and government stimulus) by mortgaging future value. The pressures and short term thinking of believing you can fix your economy catches up to everyone eventually.

We are in an era where saving does not exist, where interest rates are negative.

No, that’s pretty much the number one reason someone would purchase equity in a company.

I don’t know where the concept of dividends dropping the value of a company came from, but from a transactional point of view it doesn’t make sense. Sure, there are more earnings that have not been retained for increasing future earnings, but the value does not drop correspondingly. That’s just not how companies are valued.

3% of earnings going to shareholders just does not at all mean the company drops by 3% in value. Companies are valued in a number of different ways, but not one of them is based on a 1:1 proportion of earnings. Earnings multiples, yes, but what you’re suggesting is companies drop equivalent to being valued at a P/E ratio of 1.

A company making 1 billion in earnings is not worth 1 billion dollars. Certainly not a majority of the time, at least.

I am well aware of this myth, but not from where it originates. Yes, certainly cash on hand drops which affects valuations, but not by as much as you’re suggesting.

I don’t understand your comment about stocks not producing cash flow. You’re buying part of a company. You’re not buying the certificate.
Thanks for pointing this out! I wasn't aware of that.
Any specific packages you recommend for setting up email?

I would think there is some docker container I can run in a VM and go about my business.
I don't understand this comment. The justice department alleges that Facebook went out of its way to hide jobs from Americans bc there is a power imbalance that favors the employer of an immigrant worker. This wasn't about hiring better talent, but about hiring talent that you can underpay while still retaining. As a side effect, qualified Americans were harmed.

These allegations may or may not be true but I fail to see how your framing addresses the complaint.

I agree that forcing higher pay for visa holders helps to align incentives.
