If I had to guess, American investments took over as #1 in FDI in 1992. Japan was still 4th in 1991. You can thank wall street, republican congress, and bill clinton for that.

https://www.nytimes.com/1992/06/15/business/foreign-investor... "Last year (1991), the United States dropped to fifth, with less than a 5 percent share of foreign investment in China, behind Hong Kong, Germany, Taiwan and Japan." then the article talks about massive US investments.

I wonder if Khashoggi’s murder would have gotten a much attention if Trump hadn’t commented about it.
Could you add some instructions to the demo? Maybe it’s obvious and I missed it, but I can’t figure out how to rotate a piece. I’m using an iPhone.
A simple thing would be for Google to de-list slander-based sites like the ones described in the article. Or just personal name search for things like that.

At the same time, it's remarkable that people put credence in completely random sites that let anyone post anything.
OTA? With ads every 15 mins? I don't think so.

Netflix (and later amzn video and to a slightly lesser extent hulu) was the way out of that hellhole, and I don't see even boomers like me "going back".
I actually don't follow your example; I don't see why this is cyclic. In your example what exactly would CustomerService be responsible for that prevents it from functioning unless it has a reference to AccountService? AccountService is pretty obvious (add/remove money, link other accounts, close account, etc.) but I'm struggling to see what CustomerService would do on a per-customer basis that it would need a reference to AccountService for. The only thing I can imagine is a get/add/remove accounts operation, but (a) you need nothing but an account ID for that (not the actual AccountService class) and the caller can look up the actual accounts using the IDs if they want, and (b) you can (and I think perhaps should?) model this as a database table managed by the Account class where you're associating customer IDs with account IDs.

Another way to think about this is, how would you do this in C++? You have header files, and they shouldn't be cyclic. Who #includes who? Well in this case it seems to me AccountService.hpp should #include CustomerService.hpp, but not the reverse. Maybe CustomerService.hpp would #include AccountID.hpp? Whatever I imagine I just don't see why you'd need cyclic #includes.
Without some sort of feedback loop, its going to be difficult for Mapbox to cash in on my users data. It's not tied to an endpoint where they can sell advertising, nor is any of my use real-time.

It does allow offline use, so I should experiment with that. While offline use requires pre-loading tiles which reveals something about a person, it doesn't reveal more than a broad regional interest.

But in general, I agree. It's a murky situation. Any web request leaks information about the user.
This makes sense, and I think it would be hard to argue against.

For all the descriptions though, there is a key lack of how to easily describe it. It’s missing it’s catch phrase if you will.
Usually you’ll have an SFU between the users and the streamer that can limit the number of requests to one every X seconds.
I honestly just don't care, and I suspect most don't either.

I live in London, so probably not far from the GCP data centre, I have a 50mb connection (pretty average and affordable for London) and I don't see myself ever investing in a console or gaming PC again.

My gaming experience with Stadia is better than "good enough", and that's all that matters. If they can get the good titles, they have me as a customer.

I would settle for a lower quality service than I'm currently getting before I think about buying my own hardware again.
Insurance companies charge a significant premium for houses that still have fuses for a reason. We've learned a lot about electrical (fire) safety in the past few decades. cf knob and tube wiring.

Most likely you wouldn't have to rewire the branch circuits. A panel swap and new service entrance should run you about $3k (depending on location and inflation).
Towards the end of the article they state this is what Googles has started to do with sites that make it hard to get false info removed (like requiring a fee).
A brand new car might not but after 5 years or 100k miles the maintenance compounds significantly.

Are suggesting that people shouldn't keep cars beyond 5 years or 100k miles?

Are they trying to purposely commit app suicide?
That's incorrect. The EU is a presidential system where the head of the Commission (vDL) can and just did change laws at the stroke of a pen. She has far more power than Trump because Trump could be blocked by Congress and Congress can make its own laws to which Trump is subservient. The EU Commission is the ultimate source of all EU law, with the Parliament being not actually a parliament at all (it can't change the law!).

An example of the EU changing the law on a whim was the regulations just published on Friday that imposed a border on Northern Ireland, the thing they just spent the last 4 years claiming would be terrible and provoke terrorist violence which is why the UK would have to basically 'lose' NI as territory. It could happen without Ireland or the UK even being consulted exactly because the EU is constitutionally a dictatorship of the Commission.
They shot up earlier in the week of the publicity because it wasn't negative right then and they were the business of choice for the user of wsb. All meme stocks were being bought using this.

On Thursday and Friday was when the publicity turned negative.
In this case the concrete harm is easy to show as someone could just show the number of shares their account could have covered purchase at $200/share when buys were blocked. And multiply that by the gain they would have made selling Friday.

This is an easily quantifiable and concrete claim that might be brought up by every Robinhood user with cash in their account.

They would be safer if the stock had continued to drop.
Perhaps some sort of APFS thing?
Anthos is closer to openstack than the cloud on-prem.

The appeal of cloud is so much more than software and apis.
>If your landlord raises your rent by $500, are you not in the same position as you were before without the UBI?

If your landlord raises your rent then it will be more profitable to build housing which then allows construction companies to employ more workers. Of course, the problem with this is that some cities have banned new construction but that's a problem with the specific city, not with the idea itself.

Yes, it would drive inflation and moderate inflation drives jobs growth so everyone would benefit, except those whose net worth is invested in unproductive companies or assets.
You need to keep in mind that Hong Kong is there mostly as a proxy, and mostly for China's neighbours.
Needlessly snarky response. Write to the author about the Telsa claim. Yes, there are earlier examples in each case. I personally worked in digital video in 2000.

I was referring clearly to mass adoption (actual market penetration). Nothing matches China, period. Look at numbers for WeChat (video), WeChat/Alipay (mobile payment), Meituan/Eleme (delivery), etc.

So you loved True Detective then? Beginning, middle, end, all crystalized in the writer/producer's mind before they even began shooting?

I also don't like the season-after-season thing you're referring to, but I am encouraged that over the last 3 or 4 years we've seen a small increase in the number of stories being told with a defined story arc, and no sequels.
Yes, it doesn't seem to be urgent or important a concern. But, that's based on our limited observations. Hopefully, that turns out to be true, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are more unknown and domino effects that causes light pollution to be just as or nearly as deadly in the long term.
You have clearly never been to the USA. You sound utterly delusional.
It’s not hard to make up stories that sound plausible. That doesn’t make them true.
Sometimes you can wipe out medium cookies--or block them from be placed--and get through.
Stadia is free if you're happy with 1080p, and you purchase games on top. The pro subscription is around $10/month, but adds 4k res and a few new games every month.
Wayland surfaces (windows) have integer property, that says at what scale they are rendered. Compositor then suitably scales them for target displays. If a surface is at two different displays at two different resolutions, it will be scaled correctly on both (up or down; depending on the application; in practice downscaled on the lower resolution one).
from watchpoints import watch

a = []

HOW?! I demand an explanation.

How does the second trigger fire? Deterministically, without relying on GC tricks? It’s watching a variable name, somehow.

Does it hook into globals()? But how would it know it needs to?
PR is a weird topic to discuss on HN. It's basically two groups: one that's been around long enough to have read Paul Graham's Submarine article and one that thinks of PR as a conspiracy theory. To these people, when you talk about your PR agent placing you in articles, you might as well be talking about your CIA handler taking you to meet the grays.
The DoorDash plaintiffs had valid wage claims. Here, according to Reuters' analysis of the agreeement^1, RobinHood plaintiffs do not have a valid contract claim. There is no breach of contract because the agreement specifically allows for RH to silently refuse to execute orders. What can RH customers sue RH for? If there is no valid claim they can make, then there's no possibility of arbitration.

A Better “Do Not Disturb” Mode on Mac OS

This is the worst fucking take I've read in a while.

>How about... they drive a cheaper vehicle until they learn how to drive?

I have insurance against fire, theft, vandalism and parking lot damage. Please do tell me how your awesome driving skills prevent these sorts of damage.

I'd also very much like to know how you live your life if you have the money to pay for your car to be repaired out of pocket in case of fire, theft or having a moose come through your windshield.

This is uncompressed video.

Displayport isn't even available on displays or GPUs.

These services use hardware acceleration for encode and decode of the video to H.264 (perhaps HEVC as well)

Clearly the bandwidth requirement is lower.
Things that are deemed to be fuels emit way more energy than energy needed to heat air from ANY temperature. The fire would continue even if the air was liquid.
For the past few years, it seems that Trump was really the only thing standing in the way of Big Tech; but now that they've crushed him and the fringe extremists, the extremes have shifted and they are only going to wield their powers even more. The events of the past few months are certainly showing a pattern, and quite frankly, it's extremely scary to see what I thought would happen, actually happen. They have killed the canaries, and the frog is starting to boil.
Is there a method to calculate light needed in a room? Let’s say enough for reading.

I'd especially challenge that regulation must be a regresive tax, though yes, it often is.
My experience is that those are generally labelled with a list of varieties included and their contents. Some boxes are better or worse about describing the candies in a way that makes them identifiable, I guess, but usually you can have a pretty good idea of what to expect before putting one in your mouth.

Maybe this is a result of greater allergy awareness and wasn't true of the ... 80s? which kind of makes it a different simile...
Netflix had every movie when the production companies viewed streaming as a minor distraction.

Every movie.

Now that every corporate interest wants a streaming site of their own, bittorrent looks attractive again.
This is true. The entire value proposition of UBI lies in it's unconditional nature. The expectation that governments won't butcher it is highly unreasonable.

Using the airplane analogy, there's a good amount of turbulence in the market. Especially as you look at smaller scales, both in time and price changes. There's a decent amount of literature discussing evidence that low-latency trading has increased market turbulence for little efficiency gain.

I'm having trouble scrounging up links, but a lot of good research came out of the Santa Fe Institute and associated folks.
No, it's not, see my comment [1].

Wayland just punts on the issue by removing the compositor from any decision involving scaling. The "Wayland Way" is for the compoisitor to relay information (monitor-reported scale, etc) to the client, and have the client figure out how to scale itself correctly.

Unfortunately this means that these HiDPI bugs have to be fixed over and over in myriad apps and toolkits, and software (cough cough chromium) that is so complicated that it cannot use a toolkit.

Some compositors like sway will let you do in-compositor scaling, but this is admittedly a kludge: it produces blurry scaled-up output instead of rendering at the right resolution in the first place. The sway authors acknowledge this; the feature is only there as a "better than nothing" workaround.

Assuming the amount of tradable shares for each stock is proportional to the free float capitalization (which is not a particularly good assumption), each stock in the index should be pushed up by the same amount, since the weight of each stock in the index is proportional to the market cap of the stock. I don't think this is actually true (i.e the number of shares on the market is not proportional to the market cap), which would imply that some share prices would be affected more than other. Do higher weight stocks in spy get pushed up more? I don't know. But it is certainly possible.

With respect to the stocks just outside the index, I think you could argue that they are probably undervalued and thus should offer better returns. This is what an academic would say. However, the actual reality could be a lot different: if returns are dominated by flows instead of fundamentals (like they are now), maybe going with the crowd is the best investment strategy. Or maybe not, I haven't done the research.

One thing that every market professional is worried about right now is just how dysfunctional valuations and returns seem to be in the modern era. Stocks seem to go up for no reason and returns have been disconnected from both fundamental and quantitative risk premia.

What I can say for sure is that we are in a period of intense change in the financial system. No one knows what the future of finance will look like, 10 years, 20, or 30 years out. Will crypto defi take over? Will traditional finance be disrupted? No one knows, but it is certainly an exciting time to work in the capital markets!

Reminder that cloud providers like Scaleway and Hetzner are 4-6x cheaper than AWS, although not as feature-rich. And bandwidth is typically included to a certain extent, or free.
Eyewitness testimony is a personal experience that's been well proven to be poorly correlated with others' personal experience of the same event. You may be redefining "fact".
I haven't noticed any negative effects on my ultradian rhythms, but I do use the rhythmic effect to help me fall asleep or get some rest.

For example, if I feel like I'm bottoming out on a given cycle, I'll exaggerate my de-energizing response in order to bring the right momentum into the adjustment to the energy change. I might gently slump over in my chair, open my mouth, breathe deeply, and meditate for a few seconds before calmly deciding what to do--a bit of an overreact to help me model and effect the mental transition.

The opposite helps when I'm headed energy-upward on such a cycle.

In any case, if I'm feeling off (relative to the rhythm) I tend to set ultradian-style timers, e.g. building on the strengths of a 90-minute cycle effect by delaying important plans or decisions for 15 minutes to see if cycle position helps.

I hear you on the dosage. In case it helps, the brand I use are "Sundown" and the tablets are really inexpensive.
Wow, that's Beam as in Erlang's BEAM: a core component has been rewritten in Erlang as Ruby didn't provide good enough latency guarantees.

It still fails in many situations. For example switching between RDP session on standard and hidpi display will randomly get the desktop stuck in wrong mode, until you change resolution and or do one of actions that seem to trigger a refresh or that setting. I'm also having random switching when starting a Lenovo laptop. Occasionally it will think it's not hidpi at startup. At best I'd give windows "least broken" mark.
This is approximately one of the opening ideas in the Commonwealth Saga by Peter Hamilton. Highly recommended!
I am making an effort to also revert back to keeping physical notebooks. I have a mini library of notebooks that stop at 1996. That year I bought a power pc (for Java) and the record of my thoughts are spread over various boxes, legacy media, and buried deep in nested directories. It was a mistake, in retrospect.
Despite this being a "joke coin", actually very impressed with the integrity of the team.

The same article I linked discusses model X that had battery replaced under warranty at more than 300k km. The reason for the replacement was not battery degradation. Here's another article showing graph for up to 200k miles. Looks like Teslas holding capacity quite well even beyond 100k:

It's actually worse. The current generation of professors is completely out-of-touch with industry, due to them living during a huge academic shortage. Now you hear them say:

- "I never wrote a patent and I turned out great. Why should we bother giving an innovation course to our PhD students?"
- "This person had a 10-year break in their academic career. I can't evaluate them."

So it's not only that there is a lack of mobility between industry and academia, rather this gap is actively fueled.
You can make a stronger claim than that.

2 million people with $250, loosely coordinated vs. 2 hundred people with $2,500,000 pooled together with a full time manager.
It's mandatory if you finance the car. And car loan rates are pretty low, so it often makes sense to take one (including the insurance) even if you could buy in cash.
This has been shown again and again by current administration and ruling party in India that power and ideology of pure Hindu state is more important than lives and livelihood.

On a grand display in 2002 incident in a province in India [1], please read the whole NYT article, before commenting on it.

Later on at display in Kashmir. Subsequently during national register and citizenship act protests where religious riots were used again to suppress a year of peaceful protests.

Than again during university protests in New Delhi. Here again students were attacked inside the university, police beat and shot university students. Still even one person from ruling party who participated in violence or a cop who shot is to be prosecuted. On the other hand most of those opposing are being charged with terrorist charges.

India to really progress out of poverty needs to first learn to respect its diversity and be united. Current administrations and ruling party’s policy has taken India on a downhill path of economic disaster, lower HDI, more poverty and more hunger. United Nations data and research don’t lie, India constantly slipped compared to its neighbours like Bangladesh on this index. So probably it will be better instead of hardline approach things change in India, otherwise it will be too late for a divided country to progress forward. It might on the other hand will move towards authoritarian dictatorship very quickly. India needs to come out of tyranny of majority and authoritarian mindset of current government for a change.

I hope this same story and violence does not repeat in Bengal, where already violence is being promoted to unseat local government which does not believe in Hindu supremacy like the central government.

Years ago I worked for a guy from Honduras who had a strict hour long, exactly at noon lunch policy. He'd call his wife, eat his lunch, brush his teeth, then nap for the rest of lunch.

I could never do the nap thing, but I always appreciated the hour long break. The naps seemed necessary for him though. If there was times he couldn't have his nap he'd get kind of grumpy and such.
No doubt, but they also cause fewer deaths from reducing healthcare overload.
Thanks. I don't use Robinhood but I thought your buying fund there consisted of actually-deposited cash. In that case why can't they use a customer's money to cover the collateral? Is it a business practice or a requirement for some other reason?
What does "strong math background" mean in this context? Would the equivalent of an undergrad degree in math be sufficient, or are we talking about graduate level analysis and stats here?
