It’s generally attributed to Óscar R. Benavides, the 45th and 49th president of Peru, (1913-1914, terminated by a coup, then 1933-1939) although I haven’t been able to find good references pointing at exactly when or in what context he used the line.

>Twitter and Facebook have been right about banning DJT and the "Stop The Steal" conspiracists

How so? You call them conspiracists and they might very well be. In fact, let's say they are 100% conspiracists.

If "real conspiracists" are OK to be banned, how would you discern conspiracists from realists that tell it like it is?

Just because Twitter and Facebook says so?

There has been no shortage of actual stolen elections and/or election fraud worldwide (and one would presume, in the US historically).

Would Twitter by OK to ban people complaining about stolen elections in some Latin American country (where we can all agree that they might very well be stolen)?

> You need a team who you can trust to execute without looking over their shoulder. They're loyal, brilliant and quick. Startups that we celebrate on this forum exude this from all their pores.

During a planning meeting, you decide that Bob should build new feature X. Bob says yes, and then never does it. Secretly, Bob only takes requests from Bill, because Bill hired him into the company and was also his fraternity brother.

You go on vacation and temporarily hand off your support responsibilities to your counterpart on another team. When you return, you find that your counterpart has jammed a half-finished feature into your code, making it unrecognizable.

Your skip lead leaves for another company. Within weeks, half of your division leaves to follow him. Your support burden triples and no one is left to tell you how undocumented legacy functionality was supposed to work.

If startups worked like corporate executives, there would never be a successful one. The entire MO of the executive class is zero attention span, zero focus, and zero memory.

Well, Facebook did jump to conclusions and even moved to action and banned people.

So "jumping to conclusions" is the least people can do in return...

That would still be at the mercy of FB, a bad precedent, and perhaps "testing the waters" to see how far they can take it atm.
Word of advice from a KDE user: if you go switch, you'll find yourself writing another article just like this one about KIO.

There seems to be a concerted plan to economically disenfranchise the poorest of us. Quantitative easing where the money goes to the rich does one thing and one thing only. It dilutes the value of the dollar which is fine if you wealth is in assets but if you minimal wealth is in cash or even non-existent it makes you poorer.

I think I understand the parent poster. This is just my opinion, and it's relatively limited. But I think the US gives you incredible mobility if you are exceptionally talented and hard-working. Not much for Europe, however, Europe is probably better for your average guy; while the US is ruthless for less capable people.

If you are hard-working and talented, this might skew your view about mobility in the US/EU.

Depends where you are. London is starting to get some good cycling lanes and some junctions are having traffic rerouted to make it safer for cyclists.

Lack of clarity on these actions doesn't do anyone any good. On issues of moderation judgment calls are almost always necessary, but in return they should be coupled with some transparency and clear rationale, else it looks arbitrary or even retributive.

Whether or not people agree with the decision, we know exactly why Trump and several others got blocked this past week. This on the other hand is a case where rationale is currently unclear, and in that information vacuum people will fill in the gaps with their own ideas which are almost always going to cause them to trust the brand less.
> for the same reason humans largely don't think about flies. What's to think about? They're just an annoyance, to be swatted aside.

We can choose to think of flies; to imagine they are as people, with their own (short) lives, wants and wishes and dreams; that there is fly art and fly culture equal to our own. We can so imbue those flies with our animism and ethics, and treat them the way we should (ethically) treat any other person.

If we can do that, I think there is a good chance our gods can do the same, but using their superintelligent-culture, and their superintelligent-art, and their superintelligent-ethics, but imagining as we can the fly who is human, they choose to imagine human who is god.

Maybe the point is our gods can be kind to us if we can find some way to convince ourselves to be kind to the fly.
> If you look at statistics, poor people in America tilt democrats. Lower middle class, middle class and higher tilt Trump.

If you look at 2020 exit polls, people making under $50k and $50k up to $100k lean Biden, people making $100k and up lean Trump.

“Class” is more complicated, because within a socioeconomic class, income varies considerably by age. And Biden won younger voters (depending on the categories mused, up through 30-44 or 40-49), while Trump won older voters.

If you look at education, (which also varies a bit by age, but is tied to class and less age variable than income), Biden won every education level except No college degree (and if you combine white/non-white with education level, he won every combination except whites with no college degree.)
>My last point is that there is a big problem with startups being acquired by US companies. Tim Hortons got bought out by BK, North got bought out by Google. When I first started, this notable design company behind Medium, Teehan+Lax got bought out by Facebook.

Basically this. US tech companies are sitting on such stacks of cash seeking for avenues to expand in line with the others that most Canadian or European companies that might make it big and join them just get bought out.
The alternative is not selling out and making that money in the long term which doesn't seem likely when instead of buying in that big company just forces itself into the market with it's cash and clout to destroy your margins.
Oh and then there's the success-stories that don't get bought out but just move to san francisco for the infrastructure or money and partnerships like gitlab, etc

As a Dutch person who lived in the UK for a year, yes. Bicycle lanes are nearly non-existent outside of London and the boroughs seem to be hostile to the idea in general. The few bicycle lanes you do find often end as abruptly as they start, there's nothing connecting them and there are no bicycle crossings when you meet a road.

However if you get a mountain bike and stick to the dirt roads along the rivers and hills, it is a great place to enjoy cycling through the countryside. One of the best bike trips I've done is cycling for 30 miles along the Thames river.

So the UK is great for scenic cycling, terrible for a cycling commute. And yes, any Dutch expat you meet is silently judging your country on the safety of its cycling infrastructure.
I havn't watched the entire video so I don't know if it is mentioned, but one important factor imho is our traffic law protecting pedestrians and cyclist from motorised traffic[0].

Which basically boils down to that any non motorized traffic participant will get benefit of the doubt when determining blame in collisions or other traffic accidents over a motorized participant.

Due to this, right of way laws work for cyclist/pedestrians, instead of them just being coerced by cars into giving up their right of way or place on the road.

Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Matt Gaetz, and John Kennedy, are among the most educated in Congress.

Try to stick to one topic at a time. We are attempting to discuss a very narrow claim about incitement of the Capitol Building riot.

I'm having difficulty understanding how your comment relates to mine. If you would like to debate the merits of Trump's persona, you'll have to find someone else. I'm absolutely not claiming that he is above criticism. However, that doesn't relate at all to the specifics of what I've said here.

You are more than correct if you confused wealth for income. Median is $65k and average is $432. That's actually more than 6 times. Given that the top percentile makes their money through the stock market and real-estate, the income might be less relevant.

So... you are correct?
I don't think the back catalog play works anymore. There are too many competing services with strong pipelines of compelling new content. The back catalog approach is very low value add, so you can't charge enough for it to make it viable these days.

This is precisely the jumping to conclusions. We don't know if it's related to the recent bans. FB was pretty open about the reasons for banning Trump and it got an announcement from Zuckerberg. There's lots of people banned every day for wrong reasons and lots not banned for wrong reasons. Of course they're all at the mercy of FB - that's not new.

Advent Of Code makes me a better programmer
That's just untrue and Paul Graham wrote a great essay on that(Python paradox, mentioned in another comment in this tree). I have been working with Elixir for last 5 years, so I guess I can give some first hand opinion.

1. When your company uses esoteric language, your job offers usually have "we can teach you the language" instead of "we require x years experience in language and y, z libraries)". That is a really great filter for people you want to work with, as they have to accept they will be learning from the start.

2. There is a smaller number of engineers qualified, but the number of companies they can apply to is even more reduced. I think all in all you're winning in this equation as a hiring manager.

3. Your hiring process get cheaper, since it moves from having to filter candidates heavily to focus on matching the right person for the team. People who are interested in non-mainstream languages already fit some of the criteria you have to select for otherwise.

4. As the number of people to hire easily is smaller and onboarding even a talented person without experience in tech takes time, you get much better with selecting problems you want to tackle and grow in more reasonable pace. That has great benefits for your organisation.

I know for sure that if I am ever starting my own startup, I will use no mainstream technology. If I want JVM, I will use Clojure instead of Java, if I want web, I will use Elixir instead of Rails/Django, if I go low level, it's Rust, no C++ etc.

It's counterintuitive, but it works better. People think about size of the whole market, but they should think about percentage of candidates applying being fit for the job.
You seem to assume that any process reasoning or thinking has to be scientific to be useful. A very dubious proposition.

Given your example, thinking about who is beautiful and who isn't (not "Scientific Study", just thinking) would be pointless is well, and in reality, in practical objective reality of a lot of people, isn't.

> quickly leading to reductions to the absurd such as here.

That is the whole point of the original thought experiment, it shows exactly that.

But it leads there by showing not that the question itself is wrong. But by showing that if you try to apply scientific thinking to everything, you end up with absurdity. That there are many areas of life where intuition is a much more suited, practical, and result-rich method of thinking.

I have a few burning questions for either you or beezle if either of you don't mind:

1) Are options market makers mostly long or short gamma, and does this tendency differ if we're talking about puts versus calls? I know this can all vary over time, but I'm wondering if there's any systematic tendencies here, especially pertaining to index options.

2) Do you think gamma hedging drives a significant percent of volume in index futures (say 5% or more), or is it just a trivial %?

3) What would be a good way to estimate/approximate the gamma exposure of options market makers if we wanted to predict gamma squeezes, and we've only got public market data (e.g. trades and open interest)? SqueezeMetrics advocates using open interest but I'm wondering if there's a better way to do this.

4) Compared to delta & gamma hedging, do any of the other greeks (e.g. vanna) drive a significant percentage of volume in in the underlying in certain contexts, or are they mostly a side show?
> You are using identity yourself all the time. You just mentioned philosophy, this TV series, gold, that ship and that plank, and on close inspection there would probably be a thousand more cases in your last post where you relied on identity.

And none of those are scientific inquiries where I proffer rigorous methodology.

> Identity is one of the most fundamental concepts, without it you would have a hard time splitting the universe into more than one distinct piece in order to reference and talk about them. You can only refer to this TV series because it is an entity with identity, equal to itself and not equal to any other thing in the universe.

Yet various exact scientific inquiries work very well without assuming it's existence or that there be a difference between same and different identity.

> And yes, it is a very hard problem, as Theseus illustrates one can not simply define identity using the atoms or some other kind of parts something is made of in the general case to define identity. But that just shows the difficulty of the problem, not that identity is a useless idea.

It is a very simple problem. The answer is: “identity is a pseudoscientific concept that is “not even wrong”.”.

It is so vague, so bereft of any definition that the claim of whether that two references share the same identity is “not even wrong”.

> I am not a philosopher but it seems to me that without an notion of identity or equality you can not have more than one distinct thing. Well, probably someone has spend his entire life thinking about that, so maybe there are alternatives to identity and equality?

And that is why the various models of exact sciences typically to not require that such arbitrary lines be drawn of what is and isn't a different “thing”.
