>There is a long list of papers from the right and left that say the same.

Each of your links appear to be left biased. From my observations, the right-wing love trickledown. Curious if you could provide me an example where right-wing are against this.

The reality is that the economy is very complex. At the same time as 'trickle down economics' you had hyperglobalization from china's free trade zones and adoption of capitalism. You had global egalitarianism greatly increasing the supply of labour. You also have the reality that trickle down economics never fully implemented.

How can a study control for all of these gigantic variables? If the study cannot, they cannot come to any conclusions.

Lets step back for a second and look at globalization alone. When china implemented capitalism and their free trade zones attracted heavy foreign investment whose goal was to obtain cheap labour in china. Every big corp moved there, remember nike and their slave child labour? Or for that matter all the others as well.

Factories dont exist in north america anymore except for costly transportation markets. In order to attract those jobs back, you must compete with the tax rates of those places with very low taxes. globalization means tax rates must reduce.

Source? I see this claim made in a few places, but I can't find any evidence beyond "Facebook was created the same day LifeLog was shut down" (February 4, 2004).

Not that I'm a fan of Facebook's data collection, but claiming it's a CIA operation is a substantial claim that would require substantial evidence beyond that date being shared, which very easily could be a coincidence. (Also, if it were really planned as a secret successor, why would they publicly do it on the same date?)

I'm pretty skeptical Zuckerberg was in contact with the CIA when he started Facebook in his dorm room if that's the only piece of evidence.

I think you can use whatever to do Lisp. I'd start with something simple like Scheme, and definitely by watching and doing the SICP lecture recordings from now 34 (!) years ago: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-compu...

Once you think you grok it, you can pick a Lisp that's closest to what other tools and frameworks you're used to. For me, I never actually did anything in Lisp for production use, but learned a lot from playing with various flavors of it.
I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME. Used to hate Gnome Shell, Unity was much better suited to my workflow (and wasted less screen real estate).

"One thing that the Free Towners did that encouraged the bears was unintentional, in that they just threw their waste out how they wanted. They didn’t want the government to tell them how to manage their potential bear attractants. The other way was intentional, in that some people just started feeding the bears just for the joy and pleasure of watching them eat.

As you can imagine, things got messy and there was no way for the town to deal with it. Some people were shooting the bears. Some people were feeding the bears. Some people were setting booby traps on their properties in an effort to deter the bears through pain. Others were throwing firecrackers at them. Others were putting cayenne pepper on their garbage so that when the bears sniffed their garbage, they would get a snout full of pepper.

It was an absolute mess."
That'd change the risks, sure.

I don't think that's the scenario @jrh206 was talking about, though. Most code written in Ruby doesn't have the sort of immediate risk to life or limb surgeries do.

It seems a personal initiative more than an state backed one. But Facebook will run with the false equivalency.

Facebook is trying to fight back regulations with missinformation and smear campaigns. This are signs of a company that thinks that is above the law.
They're close to a monopoly, more precisely an oligopoly where choice is basically an illusion and newcomers have almost no chance of gaining significant market share.

HFT firms make the market. That is they place orders in the market that form the bid/ask spread. So I'll be an HFT and market make quoting $90 bid, $100 ask for S&P500. This means if you were to buy 1 lot and sell 1 lot it'd cost you $10 (you bought at 100 and sold again at 90). The reason I have a spread between bid and ask is because I'm taking a risk that someone will take me up on the offer, the market will move against me and I'll lose money. Now, I install a much faster connection to the exchange, which means I can respond to market events faster, and so if the market moves against me I can move my position or cancel my orders or I can buy a hedge much quicker. So the risk of losing money is lower, so now I can quote $94 bid, $96 ask. By quoting tighter I can beat my competitors and more people will trade against me. So now you can buy 1 lot, sell 1 lot and it'll cost you $2.

So the better these HFT firms are, the less it costs you to get in and out of the positions you want.

Do you mean just evaluate the expressions with C-x C-e or C-M-x? If so, you are right that we don't need the SLIME REPL buffer to do so. That is useful for REPL-ing. But we still need SLIME, so that we can send the expressions we want to evaluate to the Common Lisp implementation (SBCL in this case) via SLIME.

Since the interactive development environment involves an SBCL process running the Swank TCP server which SLIME running in Emacs talks to, I believe SLIME (or something like it) is still required. For example, when we press C-x C-e, even if we are not using the SLIME REPL buffer, we still need SLIME to send the Lisp expression to Swank which would then evaluate it within the SBCL process and send the result back to SLIME, so that Emacs can show the result in its minibuffer.
Steve Jobs at Academy of Achievement (1982)
Switch from vim to use evil-mode in emacs, perhaps via the spacemacs or doom emacs emacs starter projects. These present the vim editing interface, but implemented in emacs.

Then you're using emacs. Play around with emacs lisp customizing it and writing utilities for yourself to do editing tasks and whatever else you can think of. The community of emacs lisp programmers has lots of common lisp programmers. It's a serious-enough lisp to get started with, with sophisticated macros and several features from common lisp.

Make sure you use paredit. It's basically essential when learning lisp to use an editor that automatically matches parens and keeps them balanced. Beginners who complain about the parens are making that mistake.
No one “announced it”. Why would they? If Data Pipeline meets your needs, it still works. But, if you keep track of AWS and where all of the new features are being added, it’s clear that Step Functions is getting all of the new and shiny and can do everything Data Pipeline can do.

>> taxes are subject to basic economics

Economics is a social science. It's stories we tell each other rather than a fundamental unassailable truth like gravity. That means that no matter how good the economic idea - it's also immeasurably a bit wrong. We can say behaviours and outcomes are extremely likely without ignoring they don't always hold true.

But what does that mean for your suggestion that the framing is wrong here? You've based an opinion based on something potentially untrue.

To make it more concrete, you cite the laffer curve. Where do communists exist on the laffer curve? Right where the curve suggests 0% income they're getting 100% income. What's exactly wrong or off by the full 100% - the laffer curve or that communists exist?

To give another concrete example, you said:

>> People adjust behavior based on the tax level

Irrational actors do exist. They can be irrational (in the economic sense) for more reasons than just a lack of information too.

I've become really concerned by the certainty i see expressed in some economic views, some of them are really persuasive, if you ignore that they're built on a metaphorical foundation of sand.
Any rational investor at this point should own some amount of bitcoin and / or ethereum. The asymmetric upside potential vs. going to zero makes a $1000 investment have very strong upside with limited downside.
Seeing through doors is fine in this game. The player can do it to using things like "ping" or taking control of cameras, so I don't mind if enemies can too. Trying to attack through doors isn't very smart though. However I also very much enjoy when AI has an enemy hiding away in some corner trying to hack my brain while I fight off a few others directly. Or when an enemy I'd tagged but lost track of visually has taken a path around me & come up from behind. So there's some problems, but in general it seems okay to me.

Shout out to Vercel (formerly Zeit) for their awesome Hyper terminal https://hyper.is/

I love Vercel - it runs several of my Gatsby sites and an Angular website for free. It also builds out my PRs so I can see how the website is changed. If ever I need to use their paid tier, I'll do it.
> For websites, above zoom functionality works fine, but I prefer to manually resize my browser, since nearly all websites today have responsive design

If you've already reached this milestone of enlightenment and you're already using a tiling window manager elsewhere, I'd recommend you not make an exception for web browsing.

I don't even use a tiling window manager, just Gnome's rudimentary support for resizing a window and placing it to take up the left half of the screen or the right half, and I do easily 98+% of my browsing this way, with two half-width browser windows. (The rest involves temporarily maximizing a window because the website's layout is busted.) So browsing, too, is also very compatible with tiling.
I had the same question. I’m an experienced developer and I could not figure out the substance of what this product offers from a glance at its front page.

It vaguely seemed like a replacement for react but it’s hard to believe you could raise $40M for that so something else must be going on. I generally was under the impression that the industry was moving away from client side rendering since it’s so slow. At least I browse the web with JavaScript off by default.
> I think you can use whatever to do Lisp.

I'm not sure about that. You need an editor that automatically matches parens and other paired delimiters and keeps them balanced, like paredit.
NumPy – Array from Existing Data
> even though the vast majority of programs are running on a processor that defines exactly what happens with integer overflow, and even sets a flag that can be tested for in a single jump

Widths matter. Platforms that do this don't overflow both 32 and 64 bit signed integers. So if you want to define signed integer overflow for all signed integer widths then for one (or both) of these widths you need to stick in runtime checks.
Specifically I meant the pixel-blue window borders on i3, coupled with the extremely bare-bones status bar. (Does it even allow for systray icons? That would be rather important for me.)

I think that you are right that the ad formats on Facebook are a lot more effective, but I'd also argue that they have orders of magnitude more data, and more opportunities to serve ads to anyone because of their scale. Most ad networks have a semi-random set of properties and limited ability to track and tailor when compared to what is possible when you are logged into an app and spending all of your time there.

Get your keyboard setup as close as you can with whatever tools seem comfortable (eg gnome settings) and then dump the layout to an XKB file.

KDE actually can be a really nice tiling window manager. I use a script called Krohnkite. You can even turn off window decorations if you don't want titlebars. There are several other window management scripts that implement different layouts.
But KDE allows all this _and_ allows windows to overlap. There are keyboard shortcuts for "take the left half of the screen" and "move focus to the window left of this one". How many windows does a typical i3 user have open anyway?

For tiling terminal apps, I just use the tiling feature of KDE's Konsole, and used to use Terminator.

UEFI doesn't much care what sort of storage medium something is on, so long as it is capable of reading it and it has a valid EFI partition. It is much less picky than BIOS, for which the El Torito standard had to be invented, and can be implemented easily on disks that use that format for dual-use. I haven't encountered UEFI implementations that don't support optical disks but I imagine it is possible there are some laptop vendors that might not have implemented optical drive support.

Some cost-effective alternatives off the top of my head
There is definitely a huge secondhand DVD market. Also your local library has a selection of DVDs. I was just at mine yesterday and I saw lots of titles that aren't available to stream on any of the big subscription platforms.

Plex doesn't even require an NAS. I run mine off an old laptop. 100gb of storage is plenty if you have a DVD or are willing to burn one, since you don't need to keep stuff you don't watch in your library if it's backed up to optical media.

Don't think that's possible after raising such amounts of money. Their way out is now either getting aquired for loads of cash or going public. Going public also means loosing parts or all of your control over the company. Those investors will want to see their money back some time in the future.

I know my comment will get downvoted.

But there's a lot of misconception about Facebook, and the other counter-arguments are worth mentioning too.

Facebook does not sell our data, in fact, they keep it very secure. Facebook merely allows advertisers to target you based on your interests (which it learns from your activities).

Advertisers cannot identify anyone, they just select categories for which they want their ad shown to (example categories might be: Between 18 and 25, into IT, servers, hacking, living in Vancouver > Show ad for Vancouver Hacking Conference).

I don't see anything immoral about this. I remember when ads were flashing red/blue and said "You won $1M, click here to claim your prize". If I must be shown ads, I prefer ads that are relevant to my interests.
Factorio wasn't particularly fun for me and I couldn't stop playing that. That game really stressed me out and I was very relieved when I could set it aside.
Sure, you can buy crypto options in a few places, but buying and holding crypto is far less risky in the ecosystem. There is not a robinhood for crypto options.
A reminder about statistical math:

If something is 23% more likely to happen, you have to look at the original probability to get a handle on whether that increase is serious.

For example, if something has a 5% chance of happening, and it’s now 23% more likely, that means it now has a 6.15% chance of happening.
