> I think the resistance to reparations comes from folks like me who don't see a reason we should pay anything.

I agree that individual Americans shouldn't have to pay anything. All former slaveowners are long dead. These claims are properly levied against the government and whatever other institutions still exist (universities and corporations come to mind).

> I also do not think direct reparations are the best approach to resolving the continuing racism in America.

You'll be relieved to learn that there are proposals for reparations that do not ask for payments to individuals.
I'm exactly the opposite. I hated playing MarioKart, SuperSmash Bros, etc. because the game felt pointless and un-winnable. These games were based on acting fast and building up reflexes. Since I was only borrowing my friends' game consoles and they could practice whenever they wanted, there was no way I could ever catch up.

I loved planning the most efficient/comprehensive path to achieve a goal in World of Warcraft or Knights of the Old Republic and then executing on the plan. I could think about what I wanted to do when I didn't have access to the game. Playing the game was really only an afterthought to test out the plan I'd come up with.

"That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it..." US Constitution

If a government has a standing army and becomes tyrannical, it could be hard to abolish that government if the government has the means to use force and the people don't. I'd say that still gives it utility.

Even if it doesn't give it utility, the proper way to remove any constitutional rights is to amend the constitution.
Quoting the conclusion:

“It is too early to say whether Black Lives Matter and other pandemic-inspired protests will result in significant political reforms. Perhaps the reason we are inclined to view pandemics and other crises as moral and political turning points is that we have been conditioned to view them through a medical-historical lens. History suggests it might be better to regard pandemics less as crises than as occasions for political ‘reckoning’ that may – or may not – see the resolution of long-standing social and economic grievances.”

Reads like a high-scoring paper from a critical theory class. Foucault, three examples, and flourishes of vocabulary to basically say “never let a crisis go to waste.”

My takeaway from this was that you can't have too many things you're judging a candidate on. If you over emphasise one trait you're going to screw yourself over in finding another. I was also happy to see that ignoring things that many companies over-value is a good strategy if you think you know what's over valued.

There's a lymph system in the brain that was so subtle that it went undiscovered until 2016. Lymph nodes are centralized pathogen collectors in the body's immune response system that allow the body to determine an appropriate immune response. There may be a connection between immune response and cognition, now that these nodes have been discovered in the brain. Not much else is known at this time.

It may be prevalent in niche industries. But it's largely not culturally apart of historically western culture. And would you apply that problem approach prior to becoming a physics expert, did they teach that in kindergarten?

Eg in school we learn as kids derivatives, rote routines to solve a type of problem, and we plug and chug, but we are not shown (necessarily) by govt education the underlying theories that may create a solution. This/my opinion is of course dependant on how expert an instructor is ...

This is a library of "investment modules" (as I prefer to call them) that I've accumulated and coded over the last several years, automated investment strategies from simple 3 portfolio rebalancing, crypto indices, trend followers, reddit sentiment analysis traders, and more.

I don't like the term algo-trader so much, because these aren't all speculative nor do any of them day or swing trade (like the name may imply or connote). They're more like investment strategies packaged in a box ready to run. They're years of my experience in quantitative finance condensed into runnable models, easily investable and distributable by anyone with or without the specialized financial knowledge or coding experience to do so on their own.
And also for silicon budget, probably: short distances require small interface transistors and thin wires compared to massive distances like 5cm.

The chip area can be re-used for compute-sized transistors and wires (much, much smaller than interface transistors and wires, so there can be many more of them).
Tough to give first time investment advice. You should invest for sure, but what to invest in is largely a matter of risk tolerance and expectations. Ark is much riskier than SPY (S&P 500 Index).

My advice would be to invest in SPY and see how you feel after a few months. If you're not losing sleep and are comfortable with the ups and down maybe move into a more niche basket of positions, Ark being one of them.
Glenn Greenwald: The Case for a Pardon of Edward Snowden by President Trump
As someone who is kicking himself every day for turning down a job with Roku a while back...

I think the impression is that Roku has built a durable brand and will continue to capitalize on it going forward. Roku has not generated much profit yet, but AFAICT their expenditures are low and they can scale quite well. They are part device mfg and part advertising company, and we all know the market loves ad companies(Facebook, Google, etc).

As a cynical embedded guy who has worked in settop boxes for the last 20 years, I see them as having easily replaceable tech and facing stiff competition from Amazon, Google and Apple(along with unforeseen foreign competitors) in the future. I specifically avoided them because I thought they were a flash in the pan(well, it was also a brogrammer shop and I wanted to avoid that).

I think they've proven themselves to have some staying power, but I think their current valuation, like a lot of the market, is just flat out silly.

Isn't that a shame, well at least we could then hold our heads high.

> But hey, at least you’ve taken responsibility for the actions of others.

The title is encumbered. For the same reason that laundering money doesn't make the original theft disappear, its not ethical or moral to benefit financially from atrocities then launder the money and pretend that nothing can be done.

Are you really so sure that once the ill-gotten gains are subtracted from this country's wealth there would be nothing left? In that case how could you ignore such widespread and lucrative immoral heritage?
> Can we? q is at a language level, possibly aliased with the write immediately above to (p+1)

It's not, because writing to a one-past-the-end pointer is UB.

> Indeed, there was originally a write to q, which we replaced with an aliased write to q, so it seems to me that on the whole, the various optimizations are assuming different things about aliasing.

That optimization pass doesn't know anything about aliasing, it just replaced an integer with another integer that's equal to the first.
Don't discount the energy cost of air infrastructure in this comparison though. Airports have a huge amount of tarmac that must be built and maintained, there's the jet fuel production/transportation infrastructure, and of course building the planes themselves. Rail may have the larger overhead, but air has some too.

Comparing pointers derived from entirely different objects (or arrays) isn't legit. See here: https://www.viva64.com/en/b/0576/

"Pointer arithmetic is only defined for pointers pointing into array objects or one past the last element. Comparing pointers for equality is defined if both pointers are derived from the same (multidimensional) array object. Thus, if two pointers point to different array objects, then these array objects must be subaggregates of the same multidimensional array object in order to compare them. Otherwise this leads to undefined behavior."

For the purpose of comparisons, C++ lets you partially work around this via std::less et al, which are nevertheless guaranteed to implemented in such a way as to give you a total ordering among all pointers. Even then, I don't think you can freely interchange pointers that compare "equal" in that sense; the same object may have pointers with different representations, all of which compare "equal" for ordering purposes but which don't have an identical representation. (See segmented memory models, for instance.) I also don't recall if C has a similar workaround (it might not).

I would argue the fact it was deemed legal in 17th century Britain and incorporated into the US early on doesn’t have any bearing on whether it’s a modern issue in a way that it wasn’t, or that it’s not a constitutional issue. Lots of things were legal and constitutional back then that would be a constitutional crisis now.

It’s a modern issue because of what’s changed. Now small police forces in on the cut shake people down in rural America like highway robber barons.

The institution of asset forfeiture is funky and stale IMO but, that notwithstanding, the modern constitutional crisis is that this literal highway robbery likely violates the due process clause of the 14th amendment.

If *.instagram.com keypair is the TLS certificate keypair, then they could MITM Instagram. They'd probably need to physically stalk some Instagram employees, but getting the TLS certificate key pair would be the difficult part.

On a related note, what do MS Windows/OSX/Android/iOS/Linux do when they see a WiFi AP with an SSID (and maybe even MAC) they recognize, with a WPA2 key they know, operating without encryption? Will they still auto-connect in the clear? In other words, if an attacker cloned the SSID of someone's work/home network, with a strong enough signal, could they trick devices into auto-connecting to an unencrypted AP?

Oh, if only life were so simple. It is short sighted to blame such a wide variety of regulatory deficiencies and differences of opinion on a single intentional goal. There is an eponymous law about not jumping to conspiracy theories when stupidity and incompetence are qualified explanations.
Yep and it’s even worse because the signing and encryption involves XML transforms to canonicalize the source prior to verifying them. So you force the recipient to not only validate a potentially transformed message, but they have to transform it again too!

The nonlocality can be eliminated by replacing the `guard {}` block with a `resolve;` statement to be placed at the end of a block containing multiple `defer`s. This also reduces nesting and solves the question of where the `defer` is executed and makes it easy to grep to the location where the `defer` statement will be executed. Of course, it would be a syntax error to use `defer` without a following `resolve;`.
I wonder if there could be any perverse incentives at play for the corporation.

As much as I despise social media and the effect it is having on the general population, after reading the (50-page) request and the dissent, this request by the FTC is completely bananas.

This is essentially how it reads:

"Foreach social media and streaming service, provide an audit of all electrons passing through or near the service. Account for the precise position & momentum of said particles, the method by which they are tracked, and the person or persons responsible for auditing bias of said electrons against members of the current political party. You have five days to complete the report."

> what's next? Does this settle the claim completely?

That would be the idea, yes.

> Do we consider the descendants of slaves, who get this settlement, to be made whole, and any further claims of the descendants of slaves are to be dismissed with prejudice?

It would depend on the specifics of the settlement, this is actually seriously discussed among reparations advocates. Its not all about writing checks to individuals. People want to put money in a fund that makes small business loans to qualified individuals.

> Are we supposed to no longer give any racial preferences and special treatment (beyond ensuring equal treatment that's a right of all American people regardless of their ancestry) to the descendants of slaves, given that any of their claims are settled in full?

That would do a lot to put an end to the racial animus in this country.

> And finally, what do we do if the settlement does not close the gap completely? Are we then allowed to throw up our hands in the air, and say that the United States has settled its claims, and is not obligated to entertain any new ones beyond ensuring that those of actual unequal treatment are properly litigated?

I'm not sure anyone is obligated to do anything but these questions will need to be addressed and conclusive answers may elude us but the existence of these questions doesn't invalidate the claim.

> My opinion here is that while settling the liability might look desirable from certain moral point of view, I sincerely doubt that it will bring a long term resolution of the problem attributed to the legacy of slavery. What I expect is that once settlement is paid up, everything about the issue will soon go back to exactly where it has been. This is not an argument against doing such settlement, but rather against high hopes for any positive long lasting change it is purported to bring about.

This is a good point and it may depend on the form of the settlement.

Also a lambda student, 100% agree. This was actually one of the biggest selling points for me, I dug up lots of old articles and reddit threads and weighed the criticism against his responses. I thought it was endearing and refreshing and a really good sign to see the CEO have these discussions in public. It still gets to me too, reading his responses in this thread, I still want to believe they will do well by their students, but their track record doesn't hold up. He is just a STELLAR marketer.

In Lambda slack, dissent is shut down immediately by "student success" staff directing you to DMs. Or an individual zoom chat, which is friendly and seemingly receptive to feedback, but ultimately pointless. A student-created poll with 90+ votes was posted after the changes went live, and it was taken down immediately, along with all feedback, to be replaced by their byzantine "More Transparent" survey system, conveniently delayed to be issued on a Friday evening, that could be twisted into yet another glowing report on the exciting new changes.

Lambda has plenty of real feedback and criticism (constructive and otherwise) and they have no interest in it. They make a very convincing show of listening and having meaningful discussions, but look at the form of the substantive changes. They've completely gutted their successful learning structure to replace it with something cheaper, and hide the damage in their reporting. But they're still "iterating" so we'll see, right?

My key criticisms:
1. Waves arms This, all of this. The dishonesty.
2. Removing TLs. The accountability and required meeting every day really made the difference between this and self-study. TLs were holding the program together.
3. Instituting self grading with no human evaluation, even for end-of-module tests. You can join "code review" group calls but it's voluntary, there's no one checking your work at the end of the section.
4. Cutting the curriculum (there is no python instruction) Opting into the "extended curriculum" just means you repeat the same thing twice.
