> Word of mouth doesn't work for super niche services/products

Nonsense.

See, there are (were?) lots of niche specific publications and communities. They'd actually know about a subject, and provide informed and largely unbiased advice, and carry advertisement, of course. Similarly, there were regional newspapers, carrying information and advertisement of regional interest.

TV and other broad media could not steal their advertisement dollars, because that was the only way to reach the niche or region.

What Facebook is doing is to usurp all of that and monopolise advertisement, driving smaller niche and regional publishers out of business. Their hypocrisy is astounding.

> there's a good chance no one who's recommendations you trust would be interested in the same type of service/product

I think the trust problem has gotten much worse. As I said, there used to be niche publishers supporting communities (by interest or region) that were interested in keeping these sustainable long term, and therefore would not be interested in scamming their audience. Now, these publishers have been bled dry, and you have to find your information on the world wild web, where any scammer and fly-by-night producer can target you and link farm and buy fake reviews etc.
Tory, Tim, and I crafted this app to fill a need in our own lives. Managing long-term fitness progress is difficult. We built Fitness Totals to emphasize weekly, monthly and yearly activity totals and make them available in beautiful, customizable widgets. It will help you stay active and motivated by comparing your progress to last week, last month and last year!

Fitness Totals calculates totals based on data from the Apple Health app.
Don't you still run into labor force participation rate issues due partly to wealth accumulation when shrinking the family size?

For example, if you receive your parents inheritance at age 50, you might be inclined to retire early. Even if you have to split it with one sibling, that could still be enough for early retirement depending on the specifics of the assets.
I encourage you to make your argument with numbers. Even if I end up not agreeing, it will be a much better argument. I agree that there are downstream effects of violence, and it's a good point. It's still going to be dwarfed by all the boring stuff (e.g. diabetes). The fact that you think that the "dominant culture" (which one is that? "White" isn't a culture) has a "moral obligation" is, I think, just a result of how you've evolved to think about interpersonal violence through a moral lens and diabetes through a public health lens. If your goals have to do with "saving lives", or increasing the number of hours lived, or preventing unexpected deaths, even among specifically Black Americans, gun violence isn't the road to go down.

Painting the picture of violence as being visited upon e.g. Black communities by the world, or Whites, or the "dominant culture" is incorrect. The vast majority of murders in the Black population are committed by Black people. A black man is ~15x more likely to murder than an American who is not a black man. You can do some contortions to locate the causality elsewhere (like through a vague cultural legacy of slavery), but the evidence is overwhelming that violence is endemic to Black cultures in the U.S.

The sooner we all admit that to ourselves and start working on actual solutions that address the real problem, rather than pretending the problem is things like "they're poor and oppressed", the sooner we will all be able to help them build a better world for themselves. There are many poor, and possibly oppressed (if you are poor can you not be oppressed?) communities that do not have this problem of endemic violence, which is great evidence that the problem isn't one of mere poverty. And it's important to remember, too, that no U.S. populations are poor on a world scale. We're so rich our poor are too fat.
There are many objective criteria: case rate and death rate are just the most obvious.

They definitely make press, but my opinion is that it is detrimental to public perception of risk.

Distributed systems are complicated beasts too, and have fascinating failure modes, but they get no press, because there are so many incidents and so many installations.

Centralized systems make a better scapegoat regardless of probabilities.

It reminds me of something Georges Charpak mentioned, paraphrasing: we can detect tiny particles, and now we are scared, but we cannot detect economic crashes, and we should be more scared of that.
> Having said that there might be some marginal benefit for FDA to have some data for which the FDA should incentivize users by asking them to give consent, offer discounts and promise anonymisation.

If the executive branch (which the FDA falls under) is so far beyond reigning in that we have to resort to disabling an important functionality of government instead of improving the check on power (which is where I believe the focus should be), then why would you assume that they're being honest when they promise you that they're anonymizing your data? You're arguing that the executive branch is out of control but you're willing to trust them if they promise to anonymize the data they collect? That makes no sense to me.

If you're going to use the "rogue administration" argument, then how exactly does FDA, which falls under the executive branch, not fall into the same rogue behavior category?

Eh. I started buying books when I was busted broke. I just ended up keeping them, and never ceasing. I read them to death and bought more as I discovered more. I had wine boxes packed full that I had to haul everywhere. It was worth it.

Not only is it probably too early to judge any country's response properly, I wonder how far his expertise, or even just his reasoning, enables him to make a judgement worth listening to.

It's worth keeping in mind that the BBC likes to play the journalistic game of "holding the government to account", which really means they will support a kind of response (lockdowns) tacitly while criticising the government for any piece of bad news (because they didn't lockdown / didn't lockdown fast enough / hard enough) while also engaging in the kind of general doom-mongering that does nothing to inform or educate. Like much of a UK media that shares its outlook, there's been nigh on 6 months of articles looking for any sign that Sweden's largely voluntary strategy will or has failed, as Spiked noted[0]… oh, 6 months ago in May, so it seems it's been longer than 6 months.

For a far more balanced view of Sweden's response, I recommend this article[1] in the Spectator. I suspect I'll have to wait another 6 months until the sun is back out for another of its ilk.

I remember /dev/payments back in Summer of 2009 when were were in YC with the Collisons I am curious if any of the APIs are actually 11 years old ;)

Let's face it, idea for using word "gimp" probably came before they figured out what it stands for. Even now when everyone understands what that means and what consequences are behind using that word, there is still a lot of debate around that name and instead of changing it to something more marketable they are stubborn and are sticking to it. They even allow for bigger market fragmentation (Glimpse fork of GIMP) just to not change that name, that's childish.
Power usage isn't necessarily huge. I worked on a SAR satellite a few years ago with a total RF power of <1kW.

It's pulsed as well - you send an RF "chirp" at a sub-1kHz pulse frequency. Depending on imaging mode the average power draw is probably in the 500W-1kW range.

That had a much larger resolution (6m rather than 50cm), but the resolution is a function of frequency and antenna design as much as power.

The SAR concept essentially creates an image by sending out a known RF chirp and then, for each pixel of the image, correlating the response with the expected signal from that pixel. That correlation means that even if the received signal is below the noise floor you can create an image.
AFAIK payment for order flow is legal, and most of the other brokers do it as well.
I believe they could still be sued for these damages

I have been incredibly impressed with Zstandard, and if you are not currently using I suggest giving it a try.

I'm a sysadmin so this has worked it's way into every corner of my servers, from backups, to log compression, and more. Most of my servers run FreeBSD, and with the merge of linux/FreeBSD ZFS I am looking forward to the integration of ZSTD into ZFS so I can use that for on-the-fly Zpool compression.

I can safely say that ZSTD has saved me TB of space over LZ4 & GZIP.

This seems like intentionally misunderstanding a technology in order to make an inflammatory headline. Docker images are versioned, just like any distribution mechanism. Go through indexes for any package mechanism and count how many of the old packages have vulnerabilities. It will be a lot, because old software has vulnerabilities. That's why you update your packages, and why you update your Docker images.

That's only half the gaming market by revenue. The other half is mobile gaming and those games are typically under $5.

If you count by player, then the mobile market is larger.
If you want to block SAR, just set up a big corner reflector near you. It'll completely blind the part of the image near you.

It would also draw a lot of attention to you... So maybe not the best approach if you're trying to hide.
The sad truth of this is that this is just three letter agencies doing as three letter agencies does. I don't think anyone at the SEC was looking after consumers here. If they were, they would similarly investigate other brokerages with the same practices (which is many).
I will tell you two things about RHCK compatibility.

First, Oracle's RHCK worked properly with the ZFS source code when I wrote this, and I'm assuming that it was built for Red Hat:

https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/zfs-linux

Second, it would likely be possible to run the CentOS kernel on Oracle Linux. My research for Btrfs ran the other way, but I was able to get both the latest Fedora and Oracle UEK kernels working on CentOS with various levels of Btrfs support.

https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/btrfs-centos-living-loo...

I don't think it's necessary to use an Oracle-supplied kernel package on Oracle linux; kernel packages from other distributions would likely work.
This is inaccurate. Some of the most successful startups in recent memory made their bankroll by skirting regulations. It eventually catches up to them, but by then they've made a decent sized war chest to comply and plow forward. Eventually the startup just becomes the next established player. Rinse and repeat.
I don't know the answer in this specific case, but often in the case of small rewards like this, it's because administering the return of the money would consume a large fraction of it.

The author of that article seems to be conflating GPU support somehow with GUI apps. GPU support is indeed coming to WSL2 and is available currently in Insider builds along with a special release of the Nvidia driver and some Linux support packages.

This, however has nothing to do with graphical applications or GPU acceleration of such. It’s entirely targeted to machine learning frameworks.

I do think Microsoft has said that GUI stuff is on the roadmap. I hope they can continue to force the hand of Nvidia on the ridiculous matter of not providing any kind of GPU virtualization on their consumer cards.
They don't actually care about the little people. It's more about keeping the company in check so it doesn't become a monopoly for retail thumb traders faster than the next closest competitors in that category can catch up (which would be Webull I guess?). It's also a reminder that, hey, there's a shitton of (old) money in this field, better not get cocky.

Possibly too cynical of a take, but I'll reiterate the SEC doesn't care about the people browsing WSB.

surely, you jest? A simple google search of AirBnB and illegal will more than satisfy your curiosity. And yes, a good portion of the laws broken are directly broken by the lessors, but many are also broken by AirBnB itself.
Why there is no lockdown in Sweden? One of the reasons is how legislation works in Sweden:

"Sweden cannot legally declare a full state of emergency to deal with corona, says an expert in constitutional law - and right now Sweden can't declare a lockdown and confine people to their homes either, as has been done in Britain, France, Spain and other countries.

Tormod Otter Johansen is a researcher in public law at Gothenburg University, he says, however, that legislation introducing the possibility of wider lockdowns could be introduced very quickly, as the government has shown over the past few weeks with other legislation to deal with the effect of the coronavirus."

https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/7454661

So, it is possible to change the legislation to enable the goverment to call for lockdowns, but it needs some more steps than in other countries.
