I was fortunate enough to order one at launch through Best Buy but I had an issue with all online PS5 retailers: Best Buy, GameStop, Newegg, Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc.

I don't know anything about how any of these companies operate logistically so I can't make any comments on this. It sounds like you'd like to put yourself on an infinitely long waiting list that fulfills PS5 orders on a first come first serve basis. My assumption is that something prevents companies from being able to do this because not a single one of them has this implemented.
Facebook has the same thing so that's not the deciding factor.

(1) She is qualified to be a professor at Harvard even if you exclude her work in public service.

(2) Her salary is in line with others in her position and is given in exchange for doing actual work.

(3) Harvard is not in a position to directly profit from potentially privileged information leaking out in her lectures to students

(4) Harvard is not in a position to directly benefit from Yellen influencing current government regulators/policy makers

(5) Harvard is not in a position to directly benefit from Yellen taking a subsequent regulatory/policy position in government
Say you've never used Twitter without saying you've never used Twitter.

When the article asks "Did slaves build the pyramids?", interpreting that question as "Was there a single slave among the people who built the pyramids?" is not a very meaningful or useful interpretation of the question.
The phrase ‘killed it’ could mean it was great or it was awful.
I've noticed that sometimes overconsumption of coffee affects me poorly as well. If it were just about the jitters, I'd be okay with it, but I think you're onto something, in that it might also affect how calm and stable your mind feels.

Strange that you mention task lists, but OP should listen. Offloading thoughts sounds like a good way to decrease anxiety.

> The errors are non-random.

Could you elaborate / give an example? Are the errors deterministic? Is it like ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference[1]) in signal processing, where some symbols interfere with the reception of the next symbol(s)? Are there short range errors (one letter) or long continuous errors?

> There are plenty of "Average people" that entered near the top, and since not everyone can sell simultaneously, that means a ton of people are losing the life savings they dumped into this out of excitement as it crashed back down.

Most of "average people" entered at or near the top. The ones that did not were so engaged in gambling that they did not sell when it did 20x return. Call it what it is: fear of missing out.

Even DeepFuckingValue, who sold at least some of this position and netted a lot of money after taxes was not smart enough to say that 20x return in a few months is a time to pack the toys and go home so he could fight another day, leaving millions on a table in a futile hope that it would do much, much better.
This would be so easy to do,

Apple could look at how many ratings someone gives, how long they have been customers, whether they have ever stepped foot in an actual Apple store, etc.

It would be trivial to make a ratings trust schema using such information
Lucky sons of gun. We are stuck with Xeons. Have to wait 3 hours for our 20M C/C++ on the 2x14cores Xeon machine after a pull/rebase. Ryzen/TR would probably be faster 2-3x times for the same money, yet it is a BigCo, so no such luck (and our product is certified only for Xeons, so our customers can't run AMD too - thus we're de-facto part of the Great Enterprise Wall blocking AMD from on-premise datacenter).
The subreddit surged from 1 to 8 mil redditors in less than two weeks. I think the mods couldn't have stopped the disinformation even if they tried, just due to sheer increase in volume of posts.

Signal-to-noise. I'd love having a knowledgeable consultant to help cut out the noise.

For instance, I'm kinda-sorta in the market for a new mechanical keyboard for my home office. (I got one for work years ago and might want something a little different.) The price point is enough that I want to have some confidence before an online order. The Internet has tons of data that are nowhere close to giving me the knowledge I need to make an informed decision about whether it will satisfy my desires.

Crucially, I also don't know exactly what questions to ask to winnow the universe of possibilities into something more manageable.

Being able to consult with someone in the absence of having access to a plethora of keyboards would be huge—the feedback is killer.

I suspect books are actually very similar in this regard. The world of books is huge, and having a guide to get you to what's helpful is really important. I don't have time to read everything to get to the Good Stuff.
I suspect they did. I had multiple friends buy GME and all of them are now in the red on that investment.

Is RSS really so obscure as the site suggests?

Every website I am interested in updates from provides a feed.

Apparently YouTube content creators receive more money if they have more subscribers, but I don't subscribe and simply use the RSS feed; it's easier.

Perhaps YouTube also factors in the number of RSS requæsts they receive.
"Another use-case I was surprised to develop was managing collaborative projects"

This is one of the biggest under appreciated things with RSS I think! I used to have issues with a project having out of date dependencies that included some critical security features. I added the GitHub releases to a folder in my RSS reader and now know almost instantly when there's a new release and whether it's security critical or not. That would have been lost in a disordered social media feed where it might get buried under tons of other contents and I can't mark things as important, filter them out into tags or folders, etc. Right now several of us can just all have that in our feeds and create an issue to upgrade, investigate, etc. when new releases of dependencies come out, but I've thought it might be fun to put that feed directly into an issue tracker at some point too so issues get made for any new dependency update to be investigated.

Email and RSS still manage to do better than anything else at keeping my messages organized and important stuff at the top, after all these years.

We remove far more pro-"meme stock" content than anti-"meme stock". Your anecdote is just that, a single data point. All you need to do is pull the data yourself and you would see that, but instead you are taking personal offence to your content being removed.

At this point, almost all content that is removed, is done automatically, either using Reddit's crowd control algorithm, or using our (countless) content flags.

We also revised posting requirements countless times. You may very well have been cleared to post yesterday, but not today.

If you are willing to post your username, I can look into it for you.
How are they not treated well? They get a much higher than minimum wage even though the work is entirely unskilled, and didn't I read once that Amazon pay for some of them to be educated? Seems like a pretty sweet deal to me.

Hedge funds weren't the real winners, but rather prop shops/market making firms. January was the best month in the history of the universe for all the major prop shops: Citadel, Jane St, IMC, etc.

The two "vols": volume and volatility are the corner stones of all market making performance. Bonuses are mighty fine this year, that is for sure.
Not as simple. With buy and hold of index funds, you limit your upside. There is close to zero chance to make 1,000% within a year. Stock picking has potentially a bigger downside, but also more upside.

This being a zero-sum game doesn’t matter, if you have either an edge or are simply lucky. So instead of saying it’s all bullshit, it probably makes more sense to put 90% in index funds but expose yourself to a bigger upside with stock picking.

Bayesian Optimization for a Better Dessert (2017)
It might feel like being "not as sharp", but perhaps it's more self-awareness.

As I grow older, I'm not any dumber or less wise, but I'm definitely far more aware of what I don't know.

Additionally, technology systems are getting more and more complex, which exacerbates the feeling. This is a big reason why I focus hard on and continually revisit the fundamentals. Being an expert on the fundamentals of systems will save you.
Sure it does. Communism empowers tyrants who abuse the people. Every time.
"Long buyers, who have an incentive to push positive propaganda about a company they are invested in (regardless of whether or not it is true), are good."

"Short sellers, who have an incentive to push negative propaganda about a company they are invested in (regardless of whether or not it is true), are bad."

This is self-evidently incoherent and is actually being too generous to Musk, who in real life is even stupider than my strawman[1]. And Elon Musk obviously has a creepy grudge against short sellers, as evidenced by his disgraceful comments in a 2018 analyst call[2]. The only thing approaching a principle that Musk has bothered to offer is that short sellers can hurt companies by artificially pushing the stock price down. But long buyers can hurt competitors by artificially pushing a stock price up! There's no "moral" difference. Musk just has absolutely no leg to stand on here - which is why he's myopically focused on Reddit and Twitter instead of people who are actually competent about finance.

The only reason Elon Musk is "morally" opposed to short sellers is that they are hurting his personal bank account, and he's not satisfied with being merely the richest person in the world. And the only reason you share his opinion is that you are caught up in his cult of personality. Looking at your comment history: read more news and less Reddit.

Isn't that 15% for first incoming $1M though?
Yes, but they did when Amazon was founded.
To claim all of this was based on foreign interference is revisionism without foundation, ignoring the agency of the Russian people and its tragically flawed and corrupt leadership/aristocracy. The Germans did not create or even influence the conditions that led to the Russian civil war or the various abortive revolutions prior to the one in 1917; beyond helping Lenin get back to Russia from Switzerland there is a shocking lack of evidence of any direct support (just in case you are trying to suggest the "Kaiser's gold" theory, there is no evidence of significant monetary support in either German or Russian records.) Considering the fact that Russia was a participant in WW1 at the time it is naive to assume they as disinterested or uninvolved, but the Germans did not create Lenin or any of the other committees and factions involved.

You cannot just sweep across decades of internal Russian conflict and paint it with such a broad and quite frankly misinformed brush. Every European nation was involved to some extent, but none had the influence you claim nor did any create any of the central characters in this story.

Perhaps at first. But if you browse through WSB right now, the prevailing narrative is that it wasn't achieved; the hedge funds are lying, they haven't stopped shorting, and you'd better keep buying and holding or the hedge funds will win.
Seems the daily thread grows so big so fast that it becomes dog slow to even browse.

But yeah, a lot of the comments are just one liner garbage memes: HODL! TO THE MOOOOOON! FISTS ON CHEST NO FEAR! TO VALHALLA! DIAMOND HANDS! As well as echo chamber "encouragement" to HODL! until $1000/$9000/the moon because Mark Cuban is on our side!

How to make a cargo cult project:

- Read the latest AGILE books and learn how to be a scrum master

- Choose the hottest languages and frameworks as the foundation of the project

- Hire a bunch of developers with experience in those languages/frameworks

- Get JIRA and setup a sprint board

- Do a daily standup

- Figure out how Kubernetes/blockchain/marketing buzz can fit into your project to help make it more successful

- (optional) Tell devs to upgrade to even hotter languages and frameworks as they come out so that your project always uses cutting edge tech

- Wait for the airplanes to land
Can't they let an independent party do it? Saves them the hassle and the blame.
A hash (especially a properly salted slowed hash) of a good password doesn't permit access to anything, because it's beyond cracking even with every dictionary and optimization you might have. A hash of a bad password does permit access. The law is going to have to wrap its head around that distinction somehow.

Unfortunately "good" passwords have other problems, like being hard to type and remember... so there are practically no good passwords out there...
Newsblur has a setting per-site which allows you to have it use either the feed body or attempt to pull in the full text. When I was commuting on the subway (prior to ubiquitous underground coverage) here in DC, I used that heavily. One nice thing is that downloading it on your client avoids the site having to get in the middle of the copyright concerns about replicating their servers.
Seeking Advice
Hey guys, I think you all are very intelligent people. I want your advice. I am a doctor, i have worked with python for data science and machine learning.

I’m trying to learn JavaScript right now so that I can work on some app ideas that i have in my head. Even if the apps are only just for me.

I’m following along a Udemy course and making good progress.

My question to you is; is this folly? People dedicate their lives to learning and mastering languages like JS or typescript or w.e. else.

I’m trying to pick it up as a hobby in order to work on passion projects.

Well yeah, blockchains are inherently doing what governments historically have done but in a safer, more scalable way. Anything that is just a public record that needs to be kept is a slam dunk for blockchains.
A failing type assertion that correctly fails because the input is not that type is good: it lets you divert to another path. E.g. if it's Type X do this, if it's Type Y do that. Or even just put up a vaguely-useful error to the user: "The third-party service didn't send the expected data" instead of throwing the obscure error `Cannot read property 'prop' of responseData` in the console and freezing.
I do not consider it because the discussion was about how much of your salary you get to keep, which implies income taxes.

Sales tax, gas tax, land tax, etc all come later. They can be significant, but aren't part of the discussion of take home salary.

I did work at Google, and their engineering architecture is insanely good. Their product design, not so much. Both aspects are visible when you use their site.

I acknowledge that Google is able to hire incredible people. They also got a lucky break in hiring Jeff Dean early. However it is my considered belief that when you call Google an exception, you're reversing cause and effect. When people who come up with the architecture have to write code, work with their system, and see from experience what is wrong with it, they produce better architectures.

It is not whether coding produces more value than architecture. It is that continuing to code informs their architectural decisions.

For a similar idea in a very different industry, when Robert Townsend was CEO of Avis back in the 1960s he turned the company around. He made it profitable, and made it grow.

One of the things he did that he says made a huge difference was to make it a rule that everyone worked the rental desk. Didn't matter whether you were the CEO, VP, big manager or whatever. One day a month you stood behind the rental desk and had to deal with live customers. And having that regular experience meant that problems in the organization that would otherwise go missed became instantly visible. Just like how actually having to code and debug things in your architecture makes architecture problems visible that otherwise you'd discount. It made Robert Townsend a better CEO. The corresponding exercise would make you a better architect.

See https://hbr.org/2010/02/make-the-change-be-an-undercov for more.
Good point. I don’t think this is the likely correlation, but I think that whatever is causing more murders is also causing fewer stops.

The author suggests it’s fewer police out and about policing. It might be that.

This is a really card situation to prove causation since it’s retrospective observational. But maybe more researchers can try to isolate variables and find controls, etc.

For me, it’s trying to find a reasonable story so I can stop wondering. I imagine that police waking and driving around arresting people doesn’t stop murders, but fewer police being around doing stuff might result in more violence.
The problem isn't bribes to former politicians, but rather bribes to future ones.

Also, Yellen isn't a former president, she is a former fed chair. It's not even remotely the same line of work.

That's a _very_ fair practice to attack, although to be honest once the rules have been written it would be kinda stupid not to play the game this way. But allowing cities to offer huge allowances and tax breaks is hugely unequal to other businesses in that area, and creates perverse incentives where the auction ends up with a likely negative value, just so some politician can brag that he brought X or Y or Z in his city.

To note that this is the opposite of free market: the crux of the problem is allowing politicians to write checks/tax deductions to businesses for purely political purposes.
You're right. This is a trust issue that's difficult to reason about. I'd like to encourage people to self-host as much as possible and I plan to be as open as possible about how I'll do hosting. Paid hosting means the revenue model is clear--there isn't a need to sell data to keep the lights on. I'm also using the same AWS deployment process for paid hosting as I make available in the open source repository--so every Haven gets its own dedicated EC2 instance, with a database installed right on that instance. This makes broad querying of everybody's data much harder.

I think my biggest fear is that that this idea takes off, but some competitor makes a free offering by selling data and including ad targeting and most users don't know the difference.
