It was meant as a joke of course, but the subreddit actually helped me understand quite a few things about the stock market. I first got into options in February 2020 and made good gains with the help of WSB since as a beginner I really had no clue where the market was going next. Also it helps unearth some good tickers sometimes.

You just have to go through every post with a critical eye and do your own research. To this I would add that Fundamental analysis is only a part of stock trading, and being able to read the various technical analysis indicators is also important to get a good entry (and exit).

Some stocks go to the moon and some burrow into the earth but most just go up and down in a range.

On WSB I remember someone in March 2020 who bought Amazon $3000 01/15/2021 call options very cheap, when Amazon was around $2000. This person was sitting on an incredible gain in July/August 2020, Amazon was up around $3600. However if they hadn't exited they would have seen the option lose money until last Friday, when Amazon ended up around $3100.
I'd guess that they hired any programmer they could find to do some PoC work (who made a horrible choice) then the rest is sunken cost fallacy.
I have been running an experiment for the last year, and will also be interviewing professional developers, outside of my circles, as part of my research. Management and engineering cultures have been described as orthogonal, and the standard approach may be characterized as getting engineering to conform to management values.

Leadership has to be realist enough to understand that a) tech talent has other options b) managers have to commit to transparent dialogue and culture that is attractive to engineers, or pay talent higher than competitors.

With the fix-and-cheat in software fiascos such as Boeing 737 Max crashes and Volkswagen emission scandals,to name just two, this is a serious concern. With software eating the world, it will continue to grow in global magnitude.

Treating people with respect is not hard, it's just often not done in the corporate environment.

Right now I am consulting my university as to what would be appropriate to do the research anonymously, as close to truly as possible, to protect the sources, yet still have academic rigor.

My problem is that early on, I was interviewing engineers at a well-known San-Francisco company. That company had engaged in paranoid spy-craft, such as having developers followed, as well as the standard emails read, etc. My email was under continuous attacks and several trojans were sent to my personal phone (which I had not published online, nor had linked to my name in any records). So it looks like I have to protect my identity as well, to protect my sources. This is one of my current challenges.
I'm left wondering why this is being treated as a felony rather than a mental health issue. I'm wondering what else hasn't been reported in this case (or can't be reported).
Increase the block size limit was really just a 1 line change, a single variable within bitcoin core controlled it. Instead of changing this variable from a 1 to a 2 they chose the convoluted mess that was segwit. What was so wrong with increasing the block size limit the normal way?

It is all to do with practice and techniques. Get yourself a copy of Leith's How to Cook. Link I just googled: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Leiths-Cook-School-Food-Wine/dp/184...

A few things:

* It will show you how to cut and the correct techniques to use. Have a look at the Amazon 'look inside' to see how to cut onions, carrots and asparagus

* When cutting things like carrots, are you cutting one carrot or multiple? (the next point is important for this)

* Are your knives sharp? There should be almost no effort cutting through a carrot, for example.

Background to Leiths:

* They're a real cooking school that teaches professional chefs assuming very little knowledge

* It was set up by Prue Leith and Caroline Waldegrave. Prue Leith is one of the judges on the Great British Bakeoff.

* Leiths is well known in London for both their professional courses and for amateur ones too (e.g. a day to de-bone a chicken)
In Saudi Arabia, it is illegal to be an atheist, because of the hatred you are spreading for the state religion.

It seems obvious to you what is and isn’t hate speech, and it seems obvious we should be able to outlaw it as a result, but I suspect you’ll find your definition and that of 100 random people off the internet will differ substantially. There will be some common ground, but there will be some fuzzy bits around the edges. Who do we give the power to decide which of those fuzzy bits to enforce end which not?

Trump won’t be in power for much longer in the US, but someone like him will probably be in power again. Is that the kind of person you want defining what is and isn’t hate speech? Or perhaps is should be Jeff Bezos who decides what is and isn’t hate speech?

What happens when someone in power decides that talking about the wrong god or the wrong kind of sexuality or the wrong kind of people is “hate speech”? What checks and balances will be in place to prevent that from happening? We have some recourse against a US president in the form of the constitution, but we have none against Amazon. Do we just trust that the tech giants will always have our best interest at heart?

A lot of people?

There are more Mac users (and thus app buyers) today than ever were, several times more than in the 80s and 90s.

If people don't do it it's because they can make a quicker buck elsewhere (e.g. web SaaS and such), not because it's a worse market in absolute terms.

The standard FLRW metric[1] that's used to model the universe is "not necessarily simply connected," which means it allows for shapes such as toruses, multiple connected toruses, and so on. There's one proposal for something called the Poincaré dodecahedral space - see "Is the universe a dodecahedron?"[2]

But a sphere, or rather, a higher-dimensional hyperspherical equivalent, is the simplest possibility for that kind of scenario, and the FLRW metric allows that.

This article, "The Shapes of Space", has some nice explanations: http://www.ic.uff.br/~aconci/poincare.pdf

I share your outrage but if users overwhelmingly don't care you can't say consumers are hurting, so all this tracking and anti privacy is factually proven to be pro-consumer.

Even if you don't count yourself among those ignorant consumers, no one can force you to use Chrome and Google services.

To call on the government to force private businesses to make products and services the way we'd prefer them would make us even more ignorant than those ignorant users - at least some of them don't know what they are doing.
Math doesn't really justify the claim: we have plenty of math to justify classic mechanics, yet it's not how the nature works. At some point you need to stop calculating and start thinking.
It can also have an opposite effect.

For me, trying to make a tulpa 10 years ago ended up amplifying my loneliness, as well as placing it front-and-center, impossible to ignore.

In retrospect that was a good thing, since it prompted me into dealing with a lot of issues as well as discovering some i wasn't explicitly aware of. Trying to create an imaginary person you unconsciously wish you were born as could really sharpen and highlight everything that is different.

But it might as well have ended worse.
I've come to believe that the problem of 1) shows a basic mistake that capitalist theory makes about human behavior. Helping people is a show of dominance. It creates resentment from the people helped; "You think I need help? You think you can help me?" is about a millimeter away from "You think you're better than me?" It also often creates resentment in the helper if the helped person doesn't show proper submission (euphemistically called "gratitude" but evaluated through performance), or doesn't change their behavior "You wasted the money I gave you for food on beer?"

The idea that you accumulate wealth in order to give more away than anybody else, and through that gaining power, proving your superiority to the people you help e.g. "potlatch" culture, is completely left out of the capitalist theory of mind.

I've been reading Bataille lately, who was onto something like that with "The Accursed Share." His ideas surrounded by a lot of mystical trappings, though - he seemed to see himself as a sort of anarchist neocon - intentionally creating myths and rituals to get people to follow material goals.

edit: It's the gift that creates resentment, whether or not there's the boilerplate of a loan. Even repayment doesn't eliminate the resentment. Capitalists try to solve that with interest and an abstract time-value of money. Outside of capitalism it's solved through the person receiving the gift either 1) accumulating resources that could help the gift-giver, and watching them carefully to find the time when they could offer an equally effective reciprocal gift, or 2) helping others even weaker to show that they still have the ability to dominate.

I have personally adopted a "never loan, only give" policy since I was a teenager, which has often been a "I understand that you're definitely going to pay me back, so if you need to consider it a 0% loan with a balloon payment due at the heat death of the Universe, consider it that" or a "do a nice thing for someone else" (similar to you both.) I don't know that all of the verbiage made a difference.

edit2: I'm pretty sure we recognize the most dominant person as the person who has no possessions, but who everyone feels obligated and honored to host and to help. It's the fantasy of what people think the Dalai Lama is (rather than the title of the former heads of state of Tibet.)
In Europe kettles typically use around 2300W, since homes are typically wired with 16A breakers (and you don't want the kettle to pop the breaker as soon as you add another device). But US homes are wired similarly, typically with 15A breakers. So you get kettles that typically use 1500W, much less than the European equivalent.

Sure, you could use powerful kettles in the US on a 20W outlet, or on a 230V circuit, but nobody is going to do that. A typical kettle that you can just buy and plug in wherever is less powerful in the US just because you use halve the voltage but don't wire for double the current.
And at least one proper knife.
Could you explain how this is used to support statements like:

> How does it reconcile with it taking nearly 17 years for Germany to outlaw BND from wiretapping DE-CIX?

He said only that "is regulated". This is the same like "CIA/NSA/FBI must obey the law".
They actually do what they want. (Now the NSA is wiretapping DE-CIX and giving the info to BND)

Agreed, yes. Recruiters generally do want to place you and collect their fee, but few would have any qualms placing you at a terrible firm that pays well (=good fee) and keeps you doing the same shit for a year before going under, rather than a place that pays less but has great corporate culture and an engaging job with growth potential.

>If your extension works on both Firefox and Chrome, it really should work on Safari too. If it doesn't, that's Apple's fault for violating the standard, not yours for not testing on their broken platform.

Chrome is notorious for building this that are not standards and forcing them into standards bodies later. That's part of "but it works on Chrome" web issue.

So not working on Safari doensn't necessarily mean it's the fault of Safari for "violating the standard". Could very well be for upholding the standards over Chrome ad-hoc/de-facto "standard" additions...
Remove the non-mining nodes from the network and the node count goes down, but the network security stays the same. Non mining nodes do nothing for the security of the bitcoin network.

Having more non mining nodes to store and relay blocks is beneficial to decentralization, but they have no influence over which chain becomes the longest chain.
I highly recommend looking up basic cooking skills on youtube - just search for that phrase - there are basic knife skills that can help you chop an onion in under a minute.

For some reason those skills are not listed most cook books and I certainly didn't learn them in school.

But they still released the CLIP model which is the complement of DALL-E and used in the DALL-E pipeline as a final filter. There are collabs with CLIP floating around and even a web demo.
I'd not be surprised if they since switched to using a true spiral.
And the head count is one assembly per disk-surface for almost all devices. So 2 per disk for HDDs.

Yes, reallocated sectors aren't accounted for, but they should be so rare as to not matter outside of hard realtime applications, which shouldn't be using such corner-cutting devices anyways.

That spiral assumption is due to the servo tracks they need and that the inter-sector gap only has to be sized to account for how fast they can switch the write head from idle to spewing bits, so they have incentive to make it smaller than what they'd likely want the head to be able to jump when continuously streaming data.

Multiple platters would likely just mean that random writes with suitable alignment cost the same until you reach the effective platter count, as the sectors that fly by at the same time should be sequential.

SSDs on the other hand use some complicated LSM trees or similar datastructures.

>Even things like selecting text, or moving the cursor around are super non-standard and complicated

This doesn't even make sense. Those things in XCode are as bog standard as it gets, and I've also used vim, Eclipse, Idea, ST and nowadays VSCode.

I'd buy the UI setup (with connections between actions etc) being confusing in XCode (especially things like Storyboards), but text editing? Cant even understand what you could mean. Any concrete example?
Thanks for the first hand perspective!

My comment was based on watching this talk: https://archive.fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/kubernetesclu.... Kris Nova quotes Joe Beda saying they "rewrote Brendan's prototype (in Java), to go". And then goes on to discuss how this led to many of the patterns in Kubernetes.
True, but those are still exotic edge-cases. In terms of shortcut-ability VS Code plays in the top on par with emacs, vim and KDE. You are complaining about the missing 0.1%, not something like >50% of lacking features.

Also, your original complain was that the shortcuts are "arbitrary and don’t seem to be logically organised". This can be fixed by loaading which ever organisation-scheme you prefer. So your actual complain is, it does not match your habits out-of-the-box?

While on some level it feels 'wrong', I do agree that a GPT-3-based active listener might offer useful help in a variety of ways to a variety of people.

For example, I have had more than one schizophrenic friend, and my role in the conversation often boiled down to figuring out how to best respond to a usually disjointed and often incomprehensible message.

What the friend got out of it was someone who listened and enjoyed the company (which can be challenging for people suffering from schizophrenia).

What I got out of it was not just feeling good about being a rare and listening friend, though. I found that what my friend said, however difficult or impossible to comprehend, would often trigger interesting new thoughts or ideas in my own thinking that a more 'normal' friend would never have accomplished.

I could see how GPT-3 could perhaps help in playing both those roles. Listening as well as 'prompting' creativity.

The problem is that people to this day are still looking for the One True Solution. But that's a lot like looking for the One True Car. Motor vehicles have to perform in many different conditions, and these conditions greatly affect how different kinds of cars will perform. You wouldn't send a sedan over a logging road in Winter. You wouldn't race a Jeep in the F1. You wouldn't drive a Cobra in Vancouver 9 months of the year (when it's raining). You wouldn't haul a ton of gravel in a Civic.

The cowboys, the wizards, the preachers, the boffins... They all have valid points covering different aspects of the problems we have to solve in the real world. They all have their place, and the pragmatic engineer evaluates them without prejudice in order to find a reasonably good solution to the problem at hand while keeping things decently clean (or cleanable) for the future.

Like in everything else, there are best practices, and these best practices evolve over time because it's a complicated subject that none of the competing schools of thought have mastered completely within their domain.

I for one celebrate the cross-pollination.
I dunno, the further we get from the Capitol Hill riot, the harder I think it will be to sustain the argument that "I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th." can only be interpreted as "violently seize control of the American government".

Thanks for just saving me a few hours of trying to decrypt an old hard drive with a corrupted Bitlocker that doesn't take the password anymore.

The title indeed reads like it can break/bypass Bitlocker encryption, but it actually doesn't do that at all.

As far as I know Bitlocker encryption can still not be cracked/hacked/decrypted/bypassed without the proper credentials (password/PIN/USB key/48-digit recovery key).
