This zero sum saying needs to die, it doesn't say anything useful. What you MEAN to say is that it is not zero sum when you look along the time variable (as in sum(t+1) != sum(t)), because total value is not constant over time as we value human creation in a system of human beings. However at any fixed t, the total value is a constant and the sum adds up, hence why it's called a sum in the first place.

Saying that the function isn't flat doesn't give us ANY useful information about the finer distribution of wealth, studies do. And those studies keep on pointing out a world where the inequality gaps are getting wider and deeper. This is exactly back to my first comment, and somehow that was populist to point that out to you.
Robinhood had a liquidity problem in the same way as ERCOT is having a power problem. That is, the corporate entity is Ok, and you have to deal with the problem.
I can imagine a use for this when looking for a quick answer without having to wait for SQL Server Management Studio to load up.
Yes, although you will only get waveforms as an output. There is a fully interactive GUI simulator (type "make gui-run" to build it and run it), and a command line simulator as well (just type "make run").
I live in Phoenix and had the same worry when moving here. I'm in the suburbs, and have a fairly long commute with my current job (well, we're still WFH, but it _was_ fairly long). Maybe I can shed some light on one way of living in such an area.

One key, in my suburb area there's reasonably sized community parks all over. Shortly I'll take a 30 minute after-lunch walk, at the park that's a few houses down and big enough for a 30-minute walking loop.

Commute times CAN be long, but don't have to be. I have no idea why motorcycles aren't more used, especially in areas where there's no real winter. In CA you can lane split and _really_ cut down commute times. Here in AZ motorcyclists can't yet split lanes, but we can use the HOV lane. Cuts my commute time in half.

Further, Phoenix doesn't have a great downtown area anyway. There's plenty of interesting restaurants and shops spread throughout the valley. I just don't have to go "across town" very often, so the sprawl isn't that big of a deal.

Lastly, I can be in downtown Scottsdale in 30 minutes if I want, but I can also be in alone in nature, with likely no one around me for miles, in about 45.
The issue will become obvious rather soon. It won't be the state that uses the surveillance like Stasi or Gestapo would have (although, it might come closer with excuses like IP or public health). Instead my bet is on online shopping.

Right now dynamic pricing is still asynchronous. If They do it, They have a model of you that fits some marketeers understanding of people. And this model suggests a price increase or maybe even a decrease.

But what will happen is real-time data exchange. Say you booked a nice hotel for your vacation and now search for flights. Wonder why your prices are 50% higher? Say your TV just broke, or your car didn't start this morning, or you mentioned on whatsapp how you need new sports equipment. Basically whenever you will need something, you will pay a Premium. No matter where the data comes from. That's the price of giving up privacy.

No, no they're not. A vocal, biased minority who are fed the narrative of "Tory bad" 'cause they don't read anything other than The Guardian are out in force.

Most Brits either don't know about this, don't care, or think it's cool and are getting on with their shit.

I am personally thrilled by the announcement. I hope it works out well and we make something of it.

In the science of addiction what people have found is that if you change your environment you can literally get rid of any addiction. The studies from this are from Vietnam.

Experts were expecting an unprecedented heroin epidemic from veterans returning from the Vietnam war as drug use among soldiers was rampant. Turned out these soldiers came back and were no longer addicted. Scientists are guessing the causal factor for the loss of addiction was a "change in environment." It is literally the same thing that happened to the European person who replied to your post. Your brain hard wires dependencies to certain drugs but when you change your environment it may trigger something in your brain to actually unconsciously eliminate these dependencies. This makes evolutionary sense.

No doubt about it, people think that the above description means that the addiction is some sort of conscious decision. It is not the case. Addition is real, but the tricks to get out of addiction may be simpler then most people think.

So the question to ask is, when you quit tobacco, were you in the process of moving? Were there big changes going on in your life that would change the environment around you?
You say "low-trust society" like it's a bad thing. And it probably is, at least the interpersonal trust that your reference cites. But it also makes the point that trust in government is much lower, which is much more deserved and less of a problem than interpersonal trust issues.

I wonder if there's any analogy to "zero-trust" in IT security[0] that seems to be all the rage now. Put another way, is it possible that the current situations could be a crucible that re-forms trust in a better way?
(Like building some sort of "trust but verify" culture, along with whatever technology and social institutions to facilitate.)

Sorry if that seems overly philosophical - just musing.

It's very possible:

- Prior failure, most likely the next venture will fail.

- Prior success, most likely the next venture will fail.

Basically, odds are that a venture will fail regardless of past performance, similar to how past lottery winning doesn't predict future lottery winning. Personally, I don't think it's necessarily true (successful founders will already have an existing audience and investors for their next product), but mathematically this could be one way it holds true.
Addiction is an incredibly fascinating endless hole to get into, including these outlier folks.

My wife for example has struggled to quit smoking for at least 10 years. As in very hardcore struggle.

When I was young my father managed to quit from a 3 pack a day habit to nothing cold turkey. But it was obviously pretty tough on him during the process and took a couple of years to really break out of.

My brother has a pretty bad pot addiction, a relatively harmless drug with almost no known chemical mechanism for addiction. Yet he can't shake it and it's haunted him his entire life.

I'm a bit like you w/r to tobacco. I occasionally smoke cigars and have played around with cigarettes from time to time. Once I lose interest I just stop and it's over. No urge or desire or anything else.

On the other hand, I have a bad day at work and all I want to do is shove shit food in my mouth.

I don't differentiate between PBMs and insurers. All the big insurers own their own PBMs, and I don't see how it's any different from any other part of the insurance company that negotiates pricing such as for healthcare procedures. So the important players are the owners of the drug, who have the power to decide what they want to sell at, the insurers (and governments), who try to negotiate what to pay for the drug, and the premium payers, who decide which insurer gets to negotiate on their behalf.

Everyone else is just middlemen that I don't see wielding much power. All the PBM and rebate nonsense is just price obfuscation, but I don't see it changing anything even if it was all removed. It would just be rebranded some other way, as the goal is price discrimination, and to get richer entities (or those lacking in time/money to negotiate or hire someone to negotiate aka pay insurance premiums) to pay for more medicine since they can afford to pay.

By pharmacy getting crushed, I mean the retail operations. I imagine independent pharmacies won't be around longer, or if they are, they'll be making whatever scraps the insurance companies offer to throw them. There's lots of independent pharmacy owners who complain about not even knowing if the medicine they are selling is earning them money or losing them money due to the ability for insurance companies (and governments) to take back money for various reasons after the sale.

This is all part of the squeezing of margins due to automation and pharmacy retail services becoming a low margin commodity. Or forced to become a low margin commodity.

CVS went vertical with their insurance company/in person retail business, but I'm not sure if that will be as profitable in the long run as they hope. I've never seen in person retail work out well for profit margins on a large scale, except for Apple stores.
It will take quite a lot more effort to rewrite something so that the (A)GPL doesn't stick. To do that you would need to rebuild it from its documentation and/or a clean-room reverse engineering, as opposed to a port of the source code.

That doesn’t make it okay to amplify that information.

I’ve got no sympathy for Citi and the litany of penny-pinching that created the situation. And I loathe that their first reaction was probably to require ANOTHER layer of bureaucratic approval. But I don’t find any value in embarrassing the people who pressed the buttons.

To give an example, I don't think anyone could have predicted that wearing masks would be politicized. I also don't think you could make any useful predictions such as would Biden or Trump win the election. And of course, no one could have predicted that we would even have COVID in 2020. Black swans and chaotic systems drive history, which is why you can't predict it.
What you say is true, but a little bit off base I think. A team designed and developed this software. So this isn't shopping around for specialists, this is basic engineering practice to do risk analysis (by whatever name you call it). Two possibilities 1) there was no such process, or 2) the process didn't evaluate UI and workflows well.

In the first case, the teams basic competence is definitely in question. In the second, hopefully this sort of thing causes an improvement in the approach. Point being, this isn't really one of the vast number of possible things that could be looked at, rather it is a fundamental part of the bread-and-butter work of the team that shipped this product.

That being said, a lot of E2E front end stuff is done really poorly because of the way that these systems are sold and serviced. Sometimes they end up in bucket 1 (team unable or not allowed to do a competent job) by design.
As a physician, you should know that using opioids to experience euphoria and pleasure is drastically different from using appropriate doses to combat the effects of pain. It's the euphoria and pleasure that triggers operant conditioning and the accumulation of ΔFosB that occurs in the vast majority of addictions[1]. Only after receptor downregulation does withdrawal avoidance become a factor, but once that occurs, it doubles the strength of the operant conditioning.

Use != Misuse, but use for pleasure is a direct precursor of misuse.

There's no need for that level of ambiguity.

You're dealing with large sums of money.

It's their fault.

FYI verticals of ERP are usually not that complex. And there are other reasons people don't compete, it's because of the inherent flexibility needed in these systems and their vast incumbency.

Radio was one of the most mass market products, wasn't it? Not trying to be mean with that but to say that audio-only can be big as well. Maybe talk radio declined precipitously with video on TV yet I think there's still quite a huge market for listening to people talk and/or joining the conversation.

Privacy does not mean stopping the flow of data; it means channeling it wisely and justly to serve societal ends and values and the individuals who are its subjects, particularly the vulnerable and the disadvantaged.

I found the conclusion to be very open ended. Who decides what it means to channel the flow of data wisely and justly, and to what ends?

The tri-color invariant is "obvious" in single-threaded stop-the-world mark and sweep algorithms. There's no need to track color in single-threaded stop-the-world.

----------

The reason why you need to formalize the tri-color invariant is because of __multithreading__ issues. If Thread#2 changes an object from "object.blah = object2", and "object" is black ("already processed" by the garbage collector), then you MUST set object2 to grey or black.

White-objects and grey-objects do NOT need to be processed in this manner. (ex: if "object" is white, then the GC will process object in the future. Ditto if object is grey)

----------

That's the real secret of tri-color mark and sweep. Your explicit color-tracking allows for parallel garbage collection on multicore systems.

Now the method to hold the tri-color invariant depends on a number of decisions: maybe there's a "read barrier", or maybe there's a "write barrier" (not a barrier in a multithreaded sense, but that's the terminology that garbage collector textbooks use).

------------

> There is one more nuance here. As of Ruby 3.0, if auto-compaction is enabled, compaction will actually happen as part of the sweeping phase. A more in depth explanation of how and why this happens will follow in a later post about compaction in this Garbage Collection Deep Dive Series.

That means this is not a Mark-and-Sweep algorithm, but instead a Mark-and-Compact algorithm.

Mark-and-Compact has more technical issues than Mark-and-Sweep. The devil is in the details, so to speak. If you're moving pointers around at the lowest level, you need to have either:

1. A level of indirection on all reads: because the GC may "move" and object while you weren't looking.

2. OR, a way for the GC to set all pointers in all registers, variables, and objects, to the "new correct location" while your code wasn't looking. (Aka: "Stop the world" methodology)

Compaction is great at reducing fragmentation (which makes future "malloc" more efficient... and also causes the code to use less memory). But it does take more effort to compact the heap.

Is my local ice cream shop DISCRIMINATING by not serving ice cream in Norway and Osaka Japan?

No, they're not discriminating. They just don't have the resources to serve those locations.

This isn't my field, so I should be clear that I'm making stuff up based on podcasts I've listened to :) The way I understand it is that things like MBS's and CDS's were the low-level details of that specific crisis, which we might not expect to happen again in exactly the same way. But the high-level picture was that the failure of major institutions had ripple effects that both 1) directly caused other institutions to fail and 2) indirectly created a lot of uncertainty about who might fail next. Importantly, (2) can cause more failures, by freezing up the markets that a lot of businesses depend on for everyday transactions. This cycle between (1) and (2) can be a general effect, that we might expect to see again in future crises, regardless of what specific low-level details set it off.
What alternatives are there to Google Maps? I haven't found anything that comes close to it in utility. Plus many third party apps/services rely on Google Maps under the hood too.

I like to use Apple Maps via CarPlay when navigating because the visuals and UX seem nicer, but push comes to shove, if I'm trying to navigate to somewhere new, hard to find, or worried about traffic, I find Google Maps is still the superior product by far.

Which news monopoly are you referring to, specifically?
Interesting. So is the goal of regulation to ensure it's easy for people to switch "towns"? What if Apple, Samsung and Google needed to make it simple and easy to switch between their respective platforms, to a best effort? For example, if they both had similar cloud photo storage they would automatically exchange those. In other words, if we can make switching mobile ecosystems as easy as switching stores then we shouldn't take issue with Apple or Samsung or any other mobile platform. Market forces alone can influence how each company runs their business.

I think OP is saying that trauma leads to addiction, not necessarily the act itself; ie, shopping addicts are addicted to shopping because of past trauma not necessarily because of the act of shopping itself. As a prior nicotine addict I don't necessarily agree with this, as I have felt firsthand what the addictiveness nicotine feels like and I don't believe it's psychological (and, it seems like heroin may be similar)
> I.e. the instrument of today's national currencies are entirely detached from what used to be considered money, which was what the concept of usury applied to.

True. Which is another core problem. We should go back to proper money, not what we have today.

Let's take a step back. Why did the governments decide to detach money from gold and other metals? It's because they want to be able to print money at will to cover their ever increasing debts, due to interest. What effect does this have on the average person? They work hard to save money, only to have their savings devalued because of someone else's greed and incompetence. This is not sustainable.
How are all the initial comments just about "killed by Google again"???

This is a product that was useful in partnership with Google's Tilt Brush (which has now been spun out as open source). If that product is no longer JUST owned by Google, there isn't a reason to keep up Poly (which is just a page to share drawings made with Tilt Brush)...

There is even an option to download and keep your collection (which you would have had anyway)

This seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to shut down
I think the point is HR counts your options 1 year in as part of year 1 comp, which it obviously isn’t.
> Older-than-40 here, I learned to type primarily on electric typewriters and old-school terminal keyboards

Each decade that passes, fewer people report knowing how to start an engine with a hand crank.

I've seen my uncle do it. He said you don't grip it with your hand, else you might break your arm should the motor jerk the crank away. Never did it myself.

Fewer people know how to use carbide lamps too.
Let's be careful here and not conflate options and RSUs, especially comparing between startups and public companies.

Options in a startup are extremely likely to be worth nothing, ever. Not only does the company need some sort of liquidity or exit event, but the valuation then also has to be higher than the strike price on your options. And options usually have punishing exercise-or-lose-them requirements if you leave the company before a liquidity event.

RSUs, once they vest, are yours without having to exercise them. If it's a public company you can turn around and sell them on the open market immediately if you desire and get cash for them. If the company's stock declines, your RSUs are still worth something since the "basis" is $0. If you leave the company, your vested RSUs are still yours.

Yes 1-year cliffs for vesting are common and do defer compensation, but 1 year is not a long time at all to be at a company especially a large public company. After the first year the regular vesting cadence sets in and it's just a slightly more complicated form of cash, with market risk.

Over the past few years that market risk has hugely benefitted most tech companies and RSU recipients. In 2020 my RSU comp was more than 50% of my total comp, basically doubling my (already high) base salary. ESPP further compounded that.
The description of your craving process is both fascinating and horrifying. Well, mostly horrifying. Is there a scientific name for this very process?

I'm not a drug addict either, but I can relate with some of it about my cigarette smoking habit (it's actually an addiction, I know).

As for the metaphor, "every weekend" looks already like an enormous amount of debt to me.
