Most entities borrowing are borrowing crypto as part of their trading operations. For example, I could borrow crypto to provide margin for my HFT market making strategies.

A very popular use is to do rate/basis arb. So I borrow a crypto at say 10% interest and then use that to sell a future or swap that has a rate higher than 10%. So borrow at 10%, short a future with a annualized percent basis of 20%, and capture a risk free spread of 10%.

Very sophisticated and institutional players are doing a lot of these kind of basis arb plays nowadays. It's pretty much free money. You need to be able to borrow though, as without leverage these rate arb strats don't yield compelling enough returns.

If you're a crypto trading firm and not making at least 100% annualized, you're fucking up. It's not usual for sophisticated players to be making a 1-2% return a day in crypto.

The wealth generation from crypto trading in the last two years is truly astonishing.

Also want to note is that most of these obscenely high return strategies are delta neutral: they are unaffected by the price of crypto going up or down. There are some funds out there who's returns are derived from crypto exposure, but those are the shitty ones.
There are wrong answers.
It seems like even in base model cars, cellular connections are included and enabled for vehicle services. We recently bought a base model car, and without any sort of subscription, the car is connected to always-on cellular as such that the car can be started from a phone app.

Another manufacturer I bought a few years ago had similar capabilities, but only included a couple years of access to it before a subscription fee was involved.

My guess is car manufacturers can get a pretty special rate for cellular plans that are almost certainly IPv6 only and have extremely low/restricted usage for car telemetry.
It is heating. Forced air doesn't make any difference. Forced air is the most energy efficient (electric is slightly better, but much more expensive), so in cold places you get forced air and also the need for humdification
> There’s a growing tendency for newly diagnosed ADHD patients to try to explain all of their mental habits and preferences through the lens of ADHD.

I've noticed this a lot on the ADHD forums. Agreed, it's uncomfortable to read.

Personally, I'm very embarrassed and ashamed of my ADHD (hence the throwaway account here), so I try to minimise what I consider its scope as much as I can. When I was eventually diagnosed, even though I sought out being investigated for ADHD, I was disappointed! I said to the psychiatrist, I was hoping you'd tell me it's something else. But no, it was ADHD, and the medication does help.

Also if I am explaining it to someone for whatever reason, I'll make sure to point out that it might be a reason for some things, but not an excuse. I hate the thought of not taking responsibility. I mean, it's still my broken brain at fault, even if I didn't break it myself.
mpv also is opengl ain't it? I remember it always lit up the fans on my Mac, and I figured that was the reason. Since Mac OGL compatibility can be shaky.

Huh? They tell you the amounts. By these back pay numbers, there definitely was no gender pay gap. And then...

> And that there probably should be a lot of punitive damages here in addition to "back pay".

Why? The putative victims suffered a barely measurable injury. Why would that indicate huge punitive damages?
Ask HN: Can we get a Who is Hiring but for open source projects?
Given the number of open source foundations that many of us depend on, and how thinly stretched the resources are to maintain many of them, would such a monthly thread be a good idea? The thread would be open for anyone who is involved in a project to post details about the project, what areas are in need of volunteers at the moment (feature development, testing, documentation, project management, marketing, languages used...), and would be a great resource for people getting their feet wet in any of these areas. Also it can be an avenue for struggling projects to semi-promote themselves without feeling like they are spamming.
Postmodernism explored this in some capacity in the 20th century, because there are links between science, rationalism, and our ability to think rationally in practice: if we do irrational science and don't notice, the results are false but accepted as true - a phenomenon which has indeed occurred countless times, despite mechanisms intended to add rigor to the process. All that has to happen is for an emotional attachment to a concept to settle in, and our sense of causality goes out the window.

A lot of our material progress comes simply from selecting different benchmarks and methods of observation.
GamePass deals are fixed price, the "full production cost" is not an exact truth. For most indies the deal price represents an over shoot over costs, or just a large percent of cost. This is logical: no one ever shares their internal production costs. Like any business you treat business partners at arm's length.

> At what point does difficulty motivating yourself to do something unpleasant become an actual pathology?

For me it was when I actually could motivate myself to do it... and then still didn't because of shiny external stimuli and daydreams. And a lot of "I know you're really upset, so I promise I'll get my act together and next time that you expect me to... wait... what were we talking about?"
Sale was (and still is) cheering for a collapse? And yet he spent the time writing books. If the collapse had happened, he would have spent the time subsistence farming. I doubt that 25 years of that would make him happy that a collapse happened.

Be careful what you wish for. You may not like it as much as you think you will...
I see #tagging capabilities. When work requires time tracking, an entry usually corresponds to a reference ticket number and/or git hash. In a unix|pipe spirit, then posting this well formed data via curl to the usual suspects apis (jira, youtrack, ..). How nice indeed this would be.
Head units are extremely restricted in what they can do with CANBUS, generally it's a read-only arrangement so the head unit can lock out functions when the car is in motion, or show statistics. An example, in a modern car I recently purchased, there are settings in the head unit for a bunch of personalization aspects of the head unit...

To change settings on the ADAS behavior, you have to use buttons on the wheel to control a menu that appears directly above the steering wheel: The entertainment unit has no ability to control settings for vehicle motion-related behaviors, so you have to deal with a less friendly menu that isn't touch capable to set them.

This is also why Tesla is particularly unique (reckless?) in pushing OTA updates which can change the car's driving behavior. Nobody else would use OTAs that way, and most OTA-capable hardware in cars can't actually interact with driving behavior components.
I find it ironic that many "diversity and inclusion" pundits claim that Asians are overrepresented in companies like Google and actively advocate for hiring policies that disfavor Asians but in fact the DoL has found here that they were discriminated _against_.

The expectation that Solid is backed by a smart server that's intimately aware that it's hosting a Solid pod and what exactly it takes to do so is a critical failure in Solid's design. If Solid's protocols instead better accommodated "dead" formats that can be served by static web hosts, so your $USERNAME.github.io could be the front door to your data store—at least the parts of it that you already make available to the public, anyway—then we'd have passed the chicken-and-egg stage years ago and Solid would already be a runaway success.

At the end of the day, it's supposed to be about data, after all—linked data—and not about the endpoints/servers themselves. Compare to the ease of creating an RSS feed for your blog (you can get your static site generator to spit one out pretty easily) and contrast it to needing to provision and actively administer a Mastodon server, for example.
It depends. Because NAND flash storage relies on electron tunneling, you actually need high temps for the mechanism to work well. Too much cooling and you'd be increasing the wear levels prematurely.

Not sure if this thing is smart enough to know when to kick the fans on and when to keep the temps "high". That is something worth noting though.
They run linux and use Vulkan for rendering, so this is a potentially large port burden to force on devs.

That sounds wonderful (really). I was contracting for a BigCo where they materialised things all the time, and they would regularly end up running queries over multiple materialisations from different points in time, which invariably means that you always get wrong answers.
I very much wished to put a stop to use of any materilised views, but didn't have the buy-in to make the policy.

Highly recommended, I'm using a similar solution for years, and it couldn't be simpler. (Mine is a Perl script – as already mentioned, it's a few years old. Generally, I'm keeping a dedicated list per client, usually residing on top of a directory dedicated to this client, a job inbox of sorts. I might be adding the `-xx` format for subtracting breaks, which is a nice idea.)
Thank you for the kind response to my inaccurate post. You can tell my frustration on this.

And yes, I do love acronyms in acronyms. My first job was in the government, the US gov't truly loves their acronyms.
The problem I usually experience is a developer who is unable/unwilling to even imagine that there sometimes are better ways to do things than whatever is fashionable/popular at the moment. I realised that it usually reveals a deep lack of understanding of what we are trying to accomplish and/or not understanding the pros/cons of the technology that is currently fashionable.
I think the idea is that FastAPI does one thing and does it well. You can mix in other parts of what you need, in the same way FastAPI itself leans on great projects.

I don’t think I have ADHD but i want to take ADHD drugs to help with focusing. So I think I can be categorized as the Non-ADHD people.

I definitely feel an euphoric high when I take it, although it is less intense than MDMA, marijuana, or even alcohol.

You are correct to point out it doesn’t really help me focus more or improve performance. Its smart drug reputation is really misleading.

I found it less potent than coffee, which makes me very focused.

It’s most noticeable effectiveness is the suppression of my appetite and sleeplessness. When I am on it, I don’t feel hungry or sleepy at all.
My other point of view is the opposite will happen.

Men will find happiness in porn, paid sex and virtual sexual experiences and will find that women can't live up to those experiences and men will not be satified with regular women.

An average women's sexual peak is later in life and they will not be as satified with virtual sex in the same way.

There will be a need for younger men from an older women group that could bridge the divide.

If you are young and want casual sex go on courage life not tinder for better results.

Here was one of the predictions in the words of one of the participants in the bet:

>“The first [measurement] would be an economic collapse. The dollar would be worthless, the yen would be worthless, the mark would be worthless—the dislocation we saw in the Depression of 1930, magnified many times over.

The dollar is not worthless and not close to worthless. There's no reasonable interpretation of that outcome, or of reality, where the dollar becoming worthless was "close" to an accurate prediction. I truly, honestly don't know how to reason with someone who is going to dispute that.

Another prediction was that we would be in an active global military conflict between rich and poor nations. Also not close.

Another prediction was "Africa, from the Sahara to South Africa, becomes unlivable."

If words actually mean things, none of these were close.

"$1,232,000 in back pay and interest to 1,757 female and 1,219 Asian applicants for software engineering positions not hired."

How is "not hired" not a measurable injury? Google screwed their careers. And presumably these employees would be making six figure salaries... each. There's no way that the tiny amount of "back pay" here actually covers that or even close to it.
It sounds like your threshold to call something “safe” is zero risk. Is that right?

It sounds like other people have different ideas about acceptable risks and weigh them against the benefits. Is talking about their choices misinformation?
I find it fun how the author complains about all the time spent suffering with this ineffective humidifier - as if she had been saddled with it for all eternity. She could have tossed it and gotten a good working one much sooner. I guess the rant does make for some nice medium click bait though.
I believe, his calculation is roughly at $30 per week x 4 weeks per month x 12 months a year.

Anyway, the cost of a 3-meter resolution loaded with multispectral bands and metadata will be just about a dollar per sqkm or even less.
Agree. Some people simply refuse to acknowledge that all choices have pros/cons. The less experience the developer has, the more this seems to be true.

Interestingly, VLC is the only video player I have on my (Windows) computer that does not "just work". The default setting will have issues to convert TV range properly to PC range so the video is "washed out". I see no such issue with any other players like MPC-BE, MPC-CE, or MPV. If I remembered correctly I have to manually change the renderer mode or whatever it's called to make it work. To be fair, I didn't experiment much since I'm content with MPV.
Absolutely true. The less experience you have, the more following/copying what others have done makes sense.
I don't know if thats alway the case. People used to have liaisons, read books, play music together, go to church, play card games, garden, ride horses, and so on. Often surrounded by friend and family. Just seems like the quality of the average moment was better back then. The experience more authentic and often more social and more dangerous.

For example if you liked to go out and play poker in a local bar in the 1920s. It Required actual poker skills,
but also good banter, and had an element of danger to it. Seems like your brain neurones would be firing, just to keep up with the banter at the table while you downed whiskey trying not to lose too much money.

Now so many people stay at home, watch some TV or watch some porn, fall asleep and go to work the next day. And things are safe, virtual and fake.

Technology has made movies possible, I love movies. But I value the experience of reading a book differently. Its a much richer and deeper experience. And technology made it very cheap now with things like kindles. But still I think there's been a decline in the amount of people reading books. Even though I think society would be enriched from more people reading books. Its now the average person has easier lazier entertainment to occupy them.

Spent 2K on Glass when it came out. Horribly pissed at Google to this day. I thought I knew what I was getting except they literally turned features off after I got it (e.g. video hangouts). Their rational was dumbass that it drained too much battery .. the fix .. turn off the feature. Seriously?? They did not open up the SDK fully after they stopped dev/pivoted to enterprise .. maybe if some form of this tech takes off one day, I can sell it as a collector's item.
One of the reasons I wanted to start using them is I have over the years built too high of a tolerance and reliance on caffeine.

> However, the improved relevancy of individually-targeted advertisements is not offset by the social detriment of user tracking.

Spot on.

How good or relevant adverts doesn't matter if the way the information is collected is by unethical. If you went to a store and while you were shopping, an employee attached a tracking device to your car, it would clearly be a violation of your rights and you'd be rightly pissed. The equivalent of this happens all the time with software on your phone.

Yet here we have people defending Facebook and Google for trying to protect their spy-monopoly.
Interesting. Could you comment a little further? I can see the analogy here to advertising making their other products appear less competitive internally, but it sounds like you may have further thoughts.
You have to compare the pay with what they got instead. Most of them almost surely got hired at equivalent companies if they managed to clear the Google interviews.

I have a very sensitive nose as well, and have stopped using humidifiers completely since one caused mold issues in my home.

What I do instead is use a nose clip (the kind swimmers wear).[1]

It doesn't look great, but when I'm alone I don't care. The price is right (only $6), there's no maintenance, no noise, no energy costs, no risk of developing mold in you home from too high a humidity.

It works great. Whenever my nose gets too dry I put it on and in maybe an hour or even less it's fine again. I also sometimes sleep with it on, when the air is dry enough to cause my nose pain.

I'm still not over the fact we are all buying licences instead of copies.
Yep there are many solutions to the same problems out there. So thinking is required to choose the solutions that works best in your specific situation. Taking into account your business, team, customers, runtime environment etc. etc. Simply cargo copying somebody else without understanding the pros/cons is what crappy devs do.

I see this repeated often and I've never been able to find a source for it. I do not believe stimulant medications affect people with ADHD and without ADHD differently.

> Stimulant drugs do improve the ability (even without ADHD) to focus and pay attention. One function, which is reliably improved by stimulant medications, is sustained attention, or vigilance. Stimulants improve sustained, focused attention, but “selective attention” and “distractibility” may be worsened, possibly because of a drug induced increase in impulsivity. [1]
