The natural balance of a system built on single member districts is two parties, which naturally has to oppose each other to the extreme in all topics. The final outcome is the US today.

See the radical shift when New Zeeland shifted to MMP, which although not perfect is better. [0] For party-list based systems some modification of the Webster/Sainte-Laguë method [1] is often used to have about perfect representation compared to the votes with the caveats you desire, e.g. lower thresholds and so on, while still allowing some choice in the actual person and not party representing you.

It is not that the economy collapsed due to Covid, as many wrongly predicted would happen, but rather it got shifted and re-organized to a more efficient state dominated by online firms, big retail, food delivery, etc. The pandemic had the effect of accelerating the US economy to a more efficient state. This is why you should generally be skeptical of media narrative of crisis. yes, in 2007-2008 the media was wright about a housing crisis, but they tend ot get it wrong more often than not. Even when there is crisis ,it tends to be short lived and many underestimate the v-shaped nature of recoveries. If you sell your stocks, waiting a few months may mean having to buy back at a higher price even if the crisis has not subsided. Covid is gonna be with us for years and many jobs and businesses will never returns, yet the market made new highs by July 2020.
At least in C, macros can change how the language works and have lots of gotcha semantics. I've written a decent amount of C, but also Java and Python, and I've never missed macros. You're better off with an inline function or not being clever.
That’s $7000 per infraction. High, but not unreasonable, especially after two warnings from the FAA. That’s not the sort of agency you should be playing games with, and you shouldn’t get a bulk discount for breaking the law.
And of course even the best possible functions introduce barriers to reading the code, which is often very expensive.

They are both abstractions that substitute an explicit operation with just a name; and thus both require that you expand your vocabulary when holding the program context in your head. Abstract at the wrong level, and you increase difficulty; abstract at the correct one, and you lower it.

Where I do think the main problem with macros is, is in debugging - because I know no macro system that maintains metadata on the written code to help explain the higher (macro) conceptual level once a stacktrace / condition / segfault / error arises.
That's interesting! Still, in the Bay Area, even those are not available, with month-long lead time for past two weeks. But it is possible to get them in other cities.
The missing state is 'resolved' between 'open' and 'closed' giving that time/space for interaction, or perhaps a closed disposition label 'resolved' as long as it is as easily surfaced.
Our one saving grace is our "Democratic Party" is branding for 1,000s of individual party organizations. Ditto Republicans.

For instance, in my state, official (legally recognized, meaning access to the ballot) parties are organized by legislative, county, and state wide. Depending on the whatifs, who's got the real power changes over time and context.

And the intraparty Democratic fighting is far worse than the interparty stuff. IMHO.

(Though I've attended Republican events, having never participated in their orgs, I can't compare. Though from popular press accounts, insurgents like the Tea Party, taking on their establishments, sounds comparable.)

Then we have all sorts of non partisan politics. Like interest groups, lobbyists, agencies, media, etc.

So while doupoly sucks, and PR would be so much better, our current system is not monolithic.
Now that the US Presidential election is over, all the various grievances which were political activism masquerading as social causes, have now run their course.

These various initiatives and concerned corporations will magically return during future elections.
Uh... Pretty sure they're actually doing this to avoid the reporting requirements of new privacy laws in Ireland, which is more onerous and costly than the taxes.

I agree with this. Even if a four people of our 22-member team resume WFO, the rest are screwed. Soon we all need to WFO.

Blocking issue for me , btw great idea !
But how often do institutional investors sell all their holdings of a security in one go? Sure there is rebalancing but that is nothing compared to a RH trader that liquidates his entire position at the end of the day.
Very much disagree, a speculator can be investor. See the definition of the term on Investopedia.

> Speculators are sophisticated investors or traders who purchase assets for short periods of time and employ strategies in order to profit from changes in its price.
> I think you are responding too literally to his comment, which is spot on.

Should I respond metaphorically?

> A macos app is running in a sandbox and runs in a conceptually similar way to docker.

A Mac App fundamentally has access to system libraries and leverages those. A Docker container is designed to ignore the system and builds its own environment.

If you run a Docker container on a Mac or Windows, you are now running 3 operating systems. The host OS, the VM, and the Docker image.

This is not the same as a Mac App. Literally, figuratively, or hypothetically.
When I'm on the phone for work, and no one is home, there is a rug in my living room with patters at various angles, just large enough to fit my feet, I tend to move around the rug like I'm following those numbered dance steps you see on the floor in dance classes.
In a biology book, you will just learn the basics that has been there 20 years ago. In genetics, 5 years old discoveries are already too old.

If you really want to learn genetics, look for a job in large genetics lab. They need developers. There you will learn all about finding mutations or explaining different phenotypes genetically in addition to many cool techniques and technologies being used and importantly, today's challenges
This is a really intriguing idea! You would of course run into the issue that that product would appear to have horrible returns right up until the rug gets pulled out, and liquidity might be an issue (margin for the short would have to be provided and presumably could not be directly provided by the long positions). But at the very least one could theoretically write something which could take in a portfolio of ETF positions and output "short this much ABC and XYZ to be net flat in those stocks."
1 is situational, there are good and there are bad macro systems, implicit variable declarations are terrible, but beyond forced typecasting on operators(which maybe be impossible to avoid) I don't think overloading operators for non-arithmetic types is so bad so long as you're in a language where the types are annotated/easily knowable. If redefining operators is fine in math, I think programmers can manage it too.

That's a very good article.

I actually believe in the "API" model (I call it the "Dependency" or "Modular" model).

Dependencies are how small teams do big stuff.

But dependencies are also where truly Jurassic-scale disasters are born.

I think that it is important to exercise moderation in our dependencies, and accept that using them is a major decision.
I agree that all these things will make a difference but I'd be really interested in your explanation as to how it makes such a difference in the summer but not in the winter, and also why it does not seem to make much difference on underground only networks compared to mixed under/overground networks?

Brave browser has made this integration where you can tip their token to people on GitHub (and Twitter, reddit and any site that people can verify domain ownership).

The most aggravating aspect of the Dunning-Kruger effect occurs in people who know about the Dunning-Kruger effect: often they believe there can be _no_ case where the bulk of a distribution is above average. The easy example is:
The average number of legs on a human is "1.98", the bulk of the population is indeed above average.

There was an attempt with https://saythanks.io/, however it doesn't offer a way to distinguish projects (so you get thank you notes but you don't know which project it's for) and they are not public. I'm sure something similar with more customization options would go a long way (even though the best you can hope for is that it dies when GitHub replaces it by a built-in option).
Many GitHubers have links to personal sites or include their e-mail address on their profile. You could reach out personally to give thanks.
There's always a workaround.

This is why I prefer thinking about root solutions rather than root causes. The answer to the question “how can we make sure something like this cannot happen again?” (for a reasonably wide definition of this). The nice thing is that there are usually many right answers, all of which can be implemented, while when looking for root causes there may not actually be one.

Once a crazy conspiracy theory now becomes reality: vaccine passports are coming
I've worked fully remote, fully in-office, and a blend (3 days in + 2 days WFH).

For me, I preferred blend. (Caveat: office ~25 minutes away, some on-site campus amenities including dining, and WFH included scheduling flexibility)

I could slot annoying business-hours-only chores into my WFH days, or shift work earlier and later if I needed to be there for a kid thing.

And 2 days of that a week felt about right. I got the facetime and meeting stuff done my other 3, and had quieter, individual progress time those 2.
MLM=Multi-Level Marketing (also known as pyramid selling).

"Turn on" here, meaning begin to oppose (I initially read it as "to begin using").
No trade is that far removed from gambling. There is always risk of some type. Trading at the professional level in virtually all underlying markets has become 'one way'. There are few, if any, market makers left. Everyone is now a prop trader, aka punter, though some will try to deny it saying they have 'models' or 'systems' and not just instinct.

Of course, many gamblers also have models and systems and it is not uncommon for professional traders to also be big casino/sports gamblers.

Less talked about is the ever shorter time horizon of what even still pass as investments. The shorter the holding period, the more likely the nature of the trade was more akin to a gamble than an investment.

To your other point, brokers don't "sell" options or other risky products to anyone anymore. The idea of someone calling you up on the phone and suggesting you buy 100 lots of OTM calls on TSLA is quaint at best. What brokers do do is make available products through their trading platforms that private 'investors' may trade after signing off on the appropriate paperwork (for instance, an options or futures agreement). Brokers are not going to check too hard to see if you lied about your knowledge of the prodcuts (and hence the 'suitability') as it is you, not them, who are going to make the trade/investment.

As to the financial aspect, brokers today have raced to the bottom with zero commisions on most products in exchange for selling order flow to other market participants. While it is certainly possible that in some cases the revenue from selling options trades is higher than equities, on the whole it is probably on a par. Robinhood averages $0.00026 per $1 of trade value for equities from Citadel. They average $0.50 per contract on the option side. So 1000 shares of a $50 stock gives $13 vs say 10 contracts giving $5. While 100 contracts might be more revenue, a 100 lot trade is probably a very cheap option with narrow(er) spread and not likely to get Robinhood $0.50/contract.
The issue here is if you are handling the hosting of these sites, you are the one to get and handle the DMCA mail when (and it's an inevitable when) your customers do something that runs afoul of the contemporary copyright process.

Not so strange after you experience it. Walk into a bank to open an account where to receive your salary. In no time after mentioning your US citizenship, you are shown the exit door. Try every bank until you eventually lie about it as the only way go on with your life.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't momentum a well-known and fairly tried-and-tested strategy, and hasn't it greatly outperformed value over the past decade or two? Doesn't mean it will keep working forever, of course.
Can somebody elaborate on what the last paragraph means? If I have a limit of count per page and I know which page I am based on URL I can always generate a prev/next page link. I guess it is pointing out that limit/offset needs be used in such a case. How did reddit do it in terms or pagination? Such a large website wouldn’t survive on limit/offset.
People are also more economically vulnerable as the middle class continues to shrink and major debts like education or medical debt in the US rise faster than incomes.
that is what people said in 2011-2013 after the S&P 500 had already doubled off the lows of the crisis, expecting the market to fall after what had been such a big rally. Instead the market would proceed to double again.
I don't see how section 230 has any relevance here.

Section 230 protects against liability for not removing user provided content. Removing user provided content was fine before 230 and 230 did not change that.

What section 230 did is make it so that for user provided content that appears on the site if someone has a beef with that content it is the user that provided it that bears responsibility, not the site that is hosting it for the user.

I’m not the OP, but when I think of “systemic thinking” I think the focus is more on looking at all of the factors involved as part of a holistic model rather than placing blame at the feet of a particular individual or process. You can still identify causes and try to remediate them, but most of the time the remediation shouldn’t be something like “let’s fire Bob for making a mistake/error”, but rather, “Let’s look at all of the events that led up to Bob making that mistake and figure out how we can help him avoid it in the future through a system, process, or people change, or a combination therein”.

That being said, if someone is negligent and consistently does negligent things they should probably be put into a position where their negligence won’t cause catastrophic system failures or loss of life. Sometimes that does mean firing someone.

Amusingly, cweb does maintain line numbers. My mind was best blown the first time I saw a step debugger work on cweb source.

That said, with the proliferation of distributed systems that are commonly executing where you can't connect a debugger, I've found many aren't even aware of what they are missing. Jrebel, I recall, was very popular in some circles. Today, I'm not even sure most of my colleagues have ever used a debugger in a professional context.
Not if you structure your org right.

Infra-office (ie in person) for the high bandwidth interfaces, usually the whole team is in the same office.

Inter-office for lower bandwidth interfaces, ie between teams and functions.

You definitely have some interactions that are effectively remote, say if your project involves working closely with $remote_team, but in general the highest-order terms in the equation should be in office, if you are doing a traditional WFO org.
Looking at a picture of a large container ship there's more of a challenge siting rotors. Up high they would be in the way of cranes loading containers and might require really strong (and large) towers to hold the rotors. Built only as high as the containers, it doesn't seem like they would see any wind.

How would you envision them working on a container ship?

Another example I see on HN - whenever a hiring thread comes up, people chime in how stupid whiteboard interviews are, and surely the poster would be a super-star at a FAANG if only they weren't gate-kept by these dumb interviews. Isn't it more likely that these super-successful companies use these interviews because they end up hiring the people they want to hire, and it's you, the poster, lacking a clue as to what that looks like?

Basically the heuristic is, if something/someone is successful and it seems stupid to you, start by assuming it's you who likely has something to learn.
Vaccination passport app by world economic forum and major airlines
On one hand, cases like this is why responsible pilots may become (and in some countries already are) unable to fly a drone without jumping through bureaucratic hoops. On the other hand, the About section of his channel is a poignant read.

In my eyes, DJI application’s UI is as much (if not more) to blame here. It puts way, way too little emphasis on FAA regulation violations; a small corner alert when entering a controlled airspace is IMO inexcusable (“Fly with caution” and then it disappears). Generally speaking, the app knows everything necessary—location, country, time of day, lighting conditions—to show a big “Only proceed if you are indoors, outdoor flight is subject to $xxxxx fine” warning before flight takes place.
Active investing is a full time job that people who do it full time often fail it. You often need multi millions in the bank for it to start outperforming your actual job income too, so it doesn't make sense outside of investment firms and banks most of the time.

Realize that part of active investing is you have to beat the returns of VTI + your current job / biz income.

> 3) We're witnessing one of the greatest wealth transfers in the history of our country, from the less fortunate to those with means,

Those without means are the ones mostly getting unemployment benefits and the other benefits, paid for by taxes, i.e., paid for by the most affluent. Then when they retire, they will get SS benefits, which again is progressive, i.e., a slight transfer of wealth from the richer to poorer.

Also the less fortunate benefit from a whole host of post-tax transfer programs to assist them, also paid for by the more/most fortunate.

Finally, both pre and post tax household income has grown for all quintiles for some time. So if the rich are somehow taking money from the poor and leaving the poor richer, it would be an amazing feat.

> The vast majority of voters on both sides viewed Trump's election as legitimate

In 2018, 66% of democrats believed it was “probably true” or “definitely true” that Russia “tampered with vote tallies” to help Trump win the election. That’s a majority of voters on one side.

Note this poll was taken a year and a half after the poll you cited. This emphasizes the point that the media drove this issue as a wedge through the populace and corrupted its viewers’ faith in the election.

EU Study Proposes New 'Anti-Piracy Act' to Effectively Tackle Online Piracy
It's simple.

You may think politicians don't give a shit about voters, but they give even less of a shit about non-voters. Just look at the treatment of illegal immigrants or Iraqi civilians.

Anyone giving up their citizenship will be unable to vote at the next election - making them a non-voter. As such, in the eyes of senators they're no more important than the people that Academi mercenaries kill with impunity. Charging them $2000 is nothing.
I once got a similar kind of thank-you issue from someone at Google who had used my project for a Cloud Next demo (with the link to the demo using my project!). It was probably the most gratifying and kind interaction I’ve had from open source. I would love it if GitHub had a separate feature for people to express their thanks. Makes me happy just thinking about it.
