I don’t know a whole lot about professional investing, but if watching The Big Short has taught me anything it’s that the pros will say one thing publicly but do the opposite in private until it’s to their advantage to do a 180 and make their private stance actually public.

Recently this was Jamie Dimon lambasting Bitcoin all the while a cryptocurrency trading desk was being set up at Chase.

The following exchange from The Big Short stuck with me. It’s Dr. Burry’s response to Goldman Sachs when they finally returned his numerous calls:

Deeb: Dr. Burry?
Burry: Yeah.
Deeb: Deeb Winston, Goldman Sachs. Listen, I've been reviewing your position. I wanted to discuss your marks and make sure they're fair.
Burry: Yeah, I think you mean that you've secured a net short position yourselves. So you're free to mark my swaps accurately for once because it's now in your interest to do so.
Deeb: I'm not sure what you want me to say.
Burry: I think that...I think that you've already said it.
Horses didn't have the vote. Unemployment is not a technological problem. It's a political problem, and in fact, one that shows the causal arrow runs the other way. Scarce labor spurs innovation, but when labor is cheap, businesses just sweat the workers instead of building new machines.
I look forward to trying it out. :)
The old product will get big fixes and some minor performance improvements (basically maintenance mode), but all the real R&D is happening on the new product.
Wouldn't it be weirder if he didn't have his own advice on his own books?
I recommend you check out Sam Harris’ “Waking Up” app. It contains a very gentle guided introduction to mediation, and has a ton of audio content which discusses meditation in its many forms and adjacent topics. If you are wary then listening to the introductory stuff should make you more informed.
This.

I spent so much time this week chasing magic buttons in that over engineered piece of stink.

I'd rather do raw HTTP servlets at this point.
Please don't use HN for this sort of ideological battle. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys the curious conversation that it is for.

Edit: it unfortunately looks like you've been using HN primarily if not exclusively for ideological battle for almost a whole year. We ban accounts that do this, regardless of which ideology they're battling for or against. The reason is what I just mentioned: it destroys what this site is supposed to be for.

If you'd please review the site guidelines and use HN as intended, we'd be grateful.
No, it's because since the search is more and more based on user tracking data run through some "AI" the results become garbage for people that don't use the same five sites on the net the whole time, and prevent Google's tracking as much as possible additionally.

I discovered awhile ago that so-called "junk bonds" are in fact very rewarding investments that are actually only risky by comparison to other bonds, and not by comparison to other popular asset classes like stocks. Been making $120/year off an $800 bond I bought that has grown in value to $950. Win!
I hope this is not the first step into a worrisome future.

It appears now that they are offering "read-only" access to existing data structured and packaged in a more convenient way.

How long before paying enterprises would like to be able to "update" content on a more efficient basis?

Perhaps Sony would like to add articles about movies that will be released soon, or as they are released? That is a pretty benign example.

Creating alerts that enterprises can subscribe to so that they will be informed if anyone adds any negative content would also be valuable.

These systems already exist in some manner, it would just make it more efficient and more common.
Ah, a simpler time that I have not experienced.. since 10.

Bravo. Salute.
They will still be produced for many years to come. Combustion engines are basically at the peak of their efficiency at this point, they are heavily dependent on computers and there is not much gain in developing it further.
I'm.going to say the most wrong answer for this ...just because I think not enough people know about this possibility - Use fossil-scm!

You an run it on a cheap server and get collaboration, wiki, tickets all packed into a single sqlite file. The single fossil executable has the server in it.

Sadly, integrations for workflows are another story yet to be written.
You could use Clojure of course and drop to Java for the few performance-supercritical functions if needed (most likely not for like 95%+ of codebases). The productivity and performance may be even better than Python or Ruby. Another positive is, quite a bit of the code can be taken 1:1 and used in ClojureScript if you do back-end and front-end at the same time. (Of course you can program in ClojureScript targeting not the browser but Node.JS e.g. using shadow-cljs which makes working with npm easy.) Also, I haven't spent much time on StackOverflow when programming in Clojure/ ClojureScript because the language is very clear and consistent and usually the documentation and maybe one or two examples there is enough. Or I just play with the function in the REPL for a bit, maybe do a quick (time (dotimes [_ 1e3] (some-function-under-bench))) and dirty benchmark for the more involved stuff.

Clojure is a superpower especially for large codebases because you can maintain your state and ship your adjustments from the editor to the REPL in development which is almost instantaneous. This works for production code also, if you need a very, very quick hot-fix or want to look at live data in the live database without copying possibly confidential data around. Of course, you have to be careful. With great power... and all that.
There are something like 1.4 billion vehicles in operation world wide and 80 million new vehicles are sold every year.

That is at most 17 years once new vehicle sales are effectively 100% electric which will probably happen around 2030. The value of used gas cars will deteriorate rapidly as the spare parts and repair networks disappear and electric vehicle costs become much cheaper pulling forward demand for the transition to electric.

> People used horses to do jobs.

If I order food delivered, I and the restaurant are using a human to do a job. If that job can be done by a drone instead, that human has to find something else to do for income. For better or worse, the labor market is a process for turning other humans into tools.

The fact that the horse is paid in oats and not wages is irrelevant: a socially useful niche is transferred from a biological creature to a machine. It's an open question whether the future will contain enough socially useful niches for every working-age human (at least, ones that can pay a subsistence wage).
But the Fed pays earnings back to the Treasury. And while the Fed is independent, it's certainly deeply intertwined with the US government. The Fed holding US government debt seems intuitively counterproductive to me.
I mean sort of. Just staying as long bonds and bills as possible has barely lost for a quarter in the last half century.

As the article mentions that paradigm is probably over.

Just off the top of my head:

- Siri, Alexa, Google assistant all use deep learning for both understanding your speech and creating artificial voices

- Automatic translation

- Anything where you search for images or with images

- Virtual lenses in Snapchat/Messenger/etc, portrait mode and artificial depth of field in cell phone cameras

- Any recommendation system like YouTube, Spotify, or Tik Tok

- Tesla autopilot

- Image upscaling in video games

- Facebook/Google/anyone targeting you in ads
If your development productivity is entirely reliant on how quickly you can reload your changes, then you're doing something wrong. Though I guess you'd have to write mounds of unit tests and constantly rerun them to prevent common issues that Java's type system solves for free.
Don't know if it's true or not, but saw a comment elsewhere that said Audi mostly uses engines designed by other VW groups. On the other hand VW is showing a heavy commitment to electric vehicle production.
Yeah, it's always a real shame when that happens. We have the internet, now, at least, hopefully lots can and will be made available once ICE falls further out of favor.

I'd read recently something similar about Colt. Not only did they 'lose' their bluing formula, but apparently never documented much about their smithing process, as they had trouble hand fitting revolvers due to a knowledge gap.

There is a predetermined amount of the Fed dividends which gets payed to the constituent banks, and the rest is given back to the treasury.

You’re right, considering the context. Looks like I’m the bigger fool.

> force people into economic activity

Try telling that to the pensions.
Bear in mind, with a lot of different types of medications, they're required to report severe reactions found during trials and use... even if those reactions were very specific to that individual (genetic predisposition, for example)... Eg, Stevens Johnson Syndrome (a really severe skin reaction) which has no real general consistency on who reacts to what class or type of drugs.

If one person experiences it in a trial of a group of, say, 60... That becomes a risk of 1.6% in the side effects profile.

Real world cases would be much, much, much lower to the point to where doctors in the ER wouldn't even know what they're looking at when it happens. Sometimes it gets diagnosed as a 'drug eruption' or an allergy, when it's more an immune hypersensitivity response.

I know anecdotal isn't what people want around here, but I had a reaction to Sulfa that was later diagnosed as Stevens Johnson Syndrome. The doctor who prescribed it to me never personally saw a case of it herself until I came along. Even then, she sent me to a dermatologist first.

https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-5530/bactrim-ds-oral/deta...

However, It's commonly listed at the top of the side effects list for this drug.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevens%E2%80%93Johnson_syndro...

Actual incidence of the syndrome?

> SJS is a rare condition, with a reported incidence of around 2.6[10] to 6.1[26] cases per million people per year. In the United States, about 300 new diagnoses are made each year. The condition is more common in adults than in children.

Up to 6 cases per million per year across ALL drugs and not just the one I mentioned here.

Even common over the counter medications like Ibuprofen is known to cause SJS. The odds, however, are vanishingly small.

The risk exists, yes, but the perspective needed is that when you see percentages reported... that's not a "1.5% chance", that is "1.5% of those in a particular group experienced this side effect while 98.5% did not."
ColdFusion - it's derided now, but in the mid-late 90s the productivity gains it gave you over other options was amazing.
GitHub doesn't have the granularity for repo write permissions needed. For ex, if you only need read permission but you need to write a repo webhook once you're forced to ask for full repo write permissions. I've emailed GH support multiple times about that.

Talk about burying the lede. I was on a low dose of Zoloft for only a few months, and the brain zaps* I experienced when I stopped were resoundingly unpleasant, and lasted for several weeks.

>>I'm wondering what Java is still used for.

A good part of AWS is written in Java. The Hadoop, Storm, Spark, Kafka etc major backend projects are written in Java.

In fact if you are writing anything even half serious. Java is what you chose to write it in.

>>Java is supposed to be able to "run anywhere," yet C++ is more portable because it doesn't require the JVM to run.

Manual garbage collection is long dead, and it won't be revived any time soon. Machines have gotten too fast and resourceful for most of the developer community to give it a serious selection choice for their projects.

Not saying C++ or Rust is dead. They have their place. But they are not going to be used for bulk of everyday projects. That ship sailed long back.
Using some abstract device that comes out of nowhere and can also injure the criminal, for negotiation, is an open invitation for escalation.

A big chunk of the issues you're writing that test suite for, and constantly rerunning, are solved, out of the box, by having a decent type system. The type system also gives you superior code completion (with proper IDE support), which already outweighs any potential reload time costs in Java vs Python/Ruby, for me personally.

I’ve been working on a space telescope constellation. No website or anything yet since marketing is the least of my concerns, there’s so much hardware stuff to work out the feasibility of first. It’s entirely COTS and I’m building the software stack on top of KubOS and Major Tom https://www.kubos.com, and using RPi and Pine64 hardware. LimeSDR hardware and getting the local jurisdiction RF permits to begin work on the communications stack are the next major step after I finish getting the OS built for the various boards it will need to run on.

You making a lot of assumptions that arent born out by current experience. Its not uncommon for 100 year old cars to be registered and driven on public roads today. I personally have registered “daily drivers” from the 1970s and 80s. I actually rebuilt my 1972 motorcycle using factory parts from the dealership. As cars get rare they tend to increase in value, which also increases the return on effort/money put in to them. The “last running ICE car” is going to be a prized gem in a collection, not scrap metal.
It's an interesting natural experiment, that will help us learn what is essential and what is merely incidental. A human sacrifice to gain wisdom..

There is one curve following Moore’s Law alarmingly accurately: global temperature record. Many say it is direct result of the other curves, industrialism, perhaps even capitalism in general. What about trying to fix this first?

> Britain has interests that are older and different than the interests of any of her people.

Well no, Britain's interests are literally and technically and metaphorically and whatever-ly not older than the interests of any of her people. Britain did not exist in any way, shape, or form before any of her people. The humans of Britain sent other humans of Britain to die for the sake of humans of Britain. Britain doesn't have territory, the rulers and leaders of Britain have territory. Someone always benefits.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of systems thinking. It can be useful to describe the collective interests of an organization as a whole system, but they're still human interests. Sending immune cells to kill themselves to fend off a disease is still in the interests of cells, just like the humans of Britain sending humans to die in a war is still in the interests of humans. And just like humans can't have interests without cells, organizations and economies can't have interests without humans.

I'm also not saying that humans are special or unique in the way that they can have interests, I'm saying that the capitalist economy we live in is defined by human interests and cannot somehow become non-human. Human interests will always be involved because that's how we define the system of capitalism & economy. Suggesting that our economy could somehow replace all humans makes as much sense to me as suggesting that a body of water could some day replace all of its H2O molecules.

I'm going to go ahead and say that of course increasing inequality caused by capitalism is a major concern for many humans which seems to be what you're getting at. This talk of Britain & capitalism functioning without humans is distractingly nonsensical. No, capitalism can't get rid of humans because a capitalist economy without humans is not a capitalist economy. No, the importance of horses is not comparable to the importance of humans to a system literally defined by interactions between humans.

> Who truly believes this is a likely scenario?

The United States is the only major power with a strong ideological belief in unrestricted capital flows. The EU and China have both implemented capital controls in the modern era, sometimes repeatedly. (U.K. currently stands out, too.) All it takes is a populist “the rich are fleeing with their capital” trope to take hold on the far left and/or the right, and the centre to crumble, for such policy to become politically palatable. At that point, there really isn’t anyone else defending free market capitalism.

Put another way, do you really think you couldn’t get a lot of people in e.g. San Francisco to sign onto a mandate that requires the rich to register outgoing capital flows?

> for apps is to verify periodically if a SAML session is still valid, if there’s a mechanism to do so.

In general, that seems equivalent to the SP having a short session and the IdP having a long session. Suppose it's 1 hour and 8 hours. At 1h0m1s the next request to the SP causes a redirect to the IdP, and if the IdP hasn't heard about a sign out request, it just redirects back to the SP with a valid assertion that gives you another hour on the SP. No prompt to re-auth until the 8 hour mark.
