> Maybe the people in your Discord group are really smarter than almost everyone else.

I think this is akin to the unintuitive finding that if you randomly chose someone from your friendlist, there is good chance that this person is more popular than almost everyone else. Just being in the friendlist is a positive factor to the capability of making friends.

The vast majority of day traders is not honing their skills and information sharing inside a dedicated Discord group. Especially in crypto, these groups, and not the big Wallstreet hedge funds, are the most sophisticated and skilled at profiting from smaller markets.

> If the smartest institutional traders with the best tools can't figure out the direction of SPY in the short run with any kind of certainty

This is misunderstanding trading. It is all about uncertainty and willing to take risks if EV+ situations arises. Extremely few are figuring out the short run with any kind of certainty, and these few risk being fined or charged with market manipulation. The average person can find profitable coin flips (56% accuracy), which, while far from certain, can be flipped many times. Sometimes such flips are not possible for the bigger smarter institutional traders, because their plays use way more money, and they focus on what they learned over 30 years. Anyone starting in 2010 is able to be more knowledable about crypto trading, than someone with a 50-year trading career (who pays someone a little-less-knowledgable than you, not in-the-know of Discord or Telegram, to write an analysis).
The problem is that if you tax it the government becomes incentivized to increase attention selling.

If the money isn't destroyed you will end up in smaller scale corruption. One example that comes to mind is HK zoning fees and the government's increasing dependency there of.
What i meant is that most distros use HFP instead of HSP.
> I thought it infers the name from the last part of the URL if it's not prefixed with an alias.

The name and the last part of the url are unrelated.

They're only usually the same by convention. For example:

import (
"fmt"
"github.com/dimuska139/go-email-normalizer"
)

func main() {
fmt.Println(emailnormalizer.NewNormalizer().Normalize("x+1@gmail.com"))
}

The reason that I use "go-email-normalizer" as "emailnormalizer" is entirely unrelated to the url it's at or the name of the repo it's in. The only reason you use "emailnormalizer" is because that's the package line in all the files in that package: https://github.com/dimuska139/go-email-normalizer/blob/0432b...

Importing a go package will add an arbitrary identifier to the file scope, and you can't know that identifier without reading the package statement of the package you imported.

The "things not to say" list is pretty good, but I strongly disagree with the "things to say" list.
I appreciate it when people say "let me know if I can help", but offering specific help or even worse "helping" without asking just drains my energy.
I've also noticed I like getting a postcard, but dislike getting a text message. A text message produces a desire to respond (which I often don't feel like) whereas a postcard can just be enjoyed without the need to reciprocate. Although I did send flowers to someone who sent me six postcards in as many months.

I mean, you could just stop using Chrome if this happened, if you haven’t already. All the other popular browsers would be unaffected, and I’m sure projects like ungoogled-chromium would patch a change like that out.
I was looking at a competitor's reviews just now, out of curiosity. They're so funny. The best one goes like this:

Pros: We love everything about this software! Especially A, B, C, D, E, F and G features!

Cons: It's always so difficult to wait for the next monthly patch! But it's so worth it!

I don’t have one as I rarely have the same problem twice. For example React is great but for simple problems vanilla JS is just fine and I prefer it to avoid a tool chain for example webpack etc.

Back end I’d go with nodejs but if I can get away with a paas maybe I’d use that.
> a state where you have wealth without participating in the economy

I wouldn’t call that artificial nor hard to maintain: it’s axiomatically impossible. You’re participating in the economy whenever you create or receive anything of value.

Even in a hypothetical scenario where you’re making absolutely everything you consume yourself from your own materials and giving it out (the complexity of which makes it impossible), there is an economy of action and resource distribution needed to make that happen. Any kind of decision making about the distribution of resources are economic decisions.

This is semantics, most people here understand this, and I realize you’re making a similar point, but I’m hearing more and more casual dismissal of economic concerns as somehow separate from human concerns. The extent to which the economy does or does not effectively balance the human concerns of those participating in it is a measurement of the effectiveness of that economy.

Any kind of “new economy” needs to recognized the complexity of allocating resources effectively and the hugely disparate and varied range of desires, concerns, abilities, and resources between people. The realization that free trade generally leads to greater wealth was essentially an enlightenment era realization that decentralizing decisions about resource allocation is more efficient than trying to manage all of that complexity centrally. A lot of discussion about “democratizing the economy” seems to veer towards centralized redistribution and control rather than actual decentralization and democratization.
Emails could be used to send users of up-coming shows ahead of time. I turn off notifications for everything (except SMS and alarms) as I frequently am not in a position to drop everything and do something just because I receive a notification. I just catch up on my messages every now and then and from my emails I can schedule any important alarms for times I need to do something or add things to my calendar so I know what's happening. Instant notification are a huge disruption to my workflow and rarely benefit me.
Sure it is. The money you put into it is placed for you. That's passive. The fund itself may algorithmically place it in various things, but that's outside your control.

Conversely, look at super undervalued companies like JKS and CSIQ. JKS is the largest and fastest growing solar company in the world BTW. Yet these companies sit mostly under foreign market ETFs which have never been very popular, and hence why they largely remain undervalued.
Yep! dbus has really really good auth support so that users can talk to the system bus without needing to be otherwise privileged. The nicest is implicit auth where the dbus can just ask the kernel for the clients uid and authorize based on that. Very easy to implement and manage.
While I have little doubt they're indeed broken in the way you describe, as long as the results are consistent they could still be useful to hire for diversity.

You would care more about your team members having a wide variety of results, rather than the qualitative interpretation of the results themselves.

This study appears to be specifically about people with Type 2 Diabetes. I wonder if the same holds true for healthy adults.
I suspect it will actually result in a big move up in the share price, just not explosively so.

The reasoning is basically this. Share price was $320 all time high preceding ANT IPO which ANT being valued approximately $300B.

ANT IPO cancellation dropped 10% off BABA market cap, followed by a further tumble on news Jack Ma appeared to be missing/lying low and culminating with a single day drop of 13% when the anti-trust probe was announced.

All in all we are talking about a drop of ~30%+ and 100B in market cap.

If we can assume that BABA no longer relies on Pick One of Two and it's elimination as a practice doesn't materially affect sales (this is consensus) then there is really only 2 major financial impacts associated with this remaining:
The reduction in the value of ANT following restructuring and elimination of it's credit products and the fine itself.

The fine isn't material, it's less than 10% free cash flow/5% net cash on hand.

ANT IPO was revalued recently at about $200B, so it lost 33% of it's value.

BABA holds a stake of 30% in ANT so it's investment value went from $100B to $66B, material but not drastic.

So material damage is about ~$70B. However that shouldn't be deducted directly from market cap because the company isn't valued on it's net cash - that would be insane for a growth company. Instead it's generally valued using a method called Discounted Cash Flow. Effectively you estimate future cash flows and discount it by cost of cash.

If you reduce net cash by $70B and run the numbers conservatively it still shows that BABA should be valued at $300-400 if trading at similar multiple to it's peers that face similar regulatory pressure, potential credit tightness and US trade relationship issues.

I think? the controversy/what TX is arguing is that it's not fair because google owns both sides. That using publisher bid data - that if they were an independent exchange they wouldn't have access to - to inform bids for buyers is anti-competitive.

I personally don't buy it, but maybe it's so complicated a jury might.
In this case it seems to just be data scraped from people’s public profiles, but would you say the same thing if their more private data, like phone number, was leaked?
This isn't a SCMP article, it's a syndicated piece from Reuters.
I understand the desire to investigate stuff like this, but for 90%+ of people, every inquiry in to "most optimal way to not be debilitating unhealthy" is just a waste of time.

If you're not in a special group (gout, hypertension, allergies, etc.) the answer is incredibly simple:

- your diet determines your size

- your activities (or lack thereof) determine your shape

I realize that type 2 diabetics (as being studied in this paper) might be considered one of those groups, but as far as I can tell, almost all of the war is in getting people wanting to improve, and very little of it is in the how to do it.

Maybe that's just me, but I feel like we're searching for our keys under streetlight here. These are easily studied problems, so there are papers/book written. Trying to understand the myriad psychological and societal (and possible environmental) processes is where the real gains will be made.
I think the use cases for running in background indefinitely are so few that it's better to build special purpose APIs rather than general processing on low power cores with caps. The settings page would help but I think it is too complex for the average user to think about. Mobile phones are not PCs and we shouldn't be striving to make them more PC like, even if we can do so under mobile power constraints.
Tough times ahead for academia. I fortunately work in a lot of "applied research" projects funded by industry.

You have to be a masochist to want to work in university research for your entire life. The pay is mediocre, the hours terrible, and some of your colleagues are outright psychopaths. Everyone works towards what the incentives are, and the incentives in American Universities (and South American) are to publish or perish.

With the decline of antitrust and corporate research centers, universities and institutions have had to take up the slack with govt. grants and the like. Not sure how all this plays out, but it's not looking pretty.
Yes, everyone hates the big boys in China. Alibaba tencent are the worst bully one can imagine worldwide in the corporate worlds. They were enjoying great monoply from bullying competitors and supply chain.

For instance, Tecent had 94% winning rate in its local court, while only around 50% in Beijing. [1] (unfortunately that's in Chinese)

Tencent is also well known for copying small competitors products. In fact, almost all major products from tencent are copies. And a lot of the original firms that pioneered those products were forced out of the market because of Tencent's strong hold through Qq and we chat [2]

Personally I believe it just took CCP some time to figure out how to deal with these uppity billionaires. They couldn't use their normal playbook on how they deal with political opposition, because he wasn't opposing the politics of CCP, or how they deal with the powerless, because he wasn't powerless.

Now that they do, heads will roll quickly. The smarter ones will come voluntarily hat in hand and offer tributes. The dumber ones will disappear for a month, and then offer tributes.

Agreed, I really hope this isn't the result of design by committee where each team adds a long list of tests because no one wants to be the one that didn't test something and lost the vehicle.

In software teams, I've seen this issue of too many tests really cripple teams and result in frequent false-positives and products that never make it out the door. Hopefully that's not the case here.
Another possible line of rebuttal might hinge on defining the appropriate era ;-)

I'm using Ungoogled Chromium. But let's don't kid ourselves, this is just a temporary solution. There will always be the point where it's impossible to maintain patches and keep up with the cat and mouse game upstream.

Also all the other popular Browsers are either based on Chromium or based on Gecko, an engine that has no developers anymore since last year.

When I wrote about sustainability, that's exactly what I was talking about.
We have been working on a practical solution for this for 10 years, and are giving away the platform as open source. Basically the goal is to make a Wordpress for Web 2.0 (communication) and Web 3.0 (transactions and smart contracts).

Long ago, we reached the same conclusions as the article and the comments. We are going to be using the platform to reinvent the News industry, Teaching, Social Networking and much more, by moving from systems based on profit motive and competition, to systems based on open source and collaboration.

How can small corps survive when Alibaba and Tencent bullying people around?

Why stability is conflicting with innovation? Are you saying that somehow the innovation has to be destabilizing the society? That's never the case in the human history. Any innovation make human more united and more understand and easier get across each other.
This isn't just pixel phones anymore, and it hasn't been for a while. You can also tell that it's not a person sometimes (specifically extended car warranty for me) if you have a cheap phone like mine, because you can hear the message on the other end start as soon as the line opens, before the phone shuts off the speaker and starts playing it's own message; once the assistant finishes talking, you can see the transcript start in the middle because the other end doesn't recognize Google assistant like it (probably) would an answering machine.

That was part of one of my best techniques. The boss thought I was crazy when she caught me trying it, but I would put on very dark sunglasses, fire up the site in Lynx, and then use a pencil in my teeth to get around. If that was too hard, I knew I had to rethink something.
Desktop Windows won't run there directly (but works just fine virtualized under qemu, I should add). It's a pretty typical all-in-one SoC, but with an x86 core:

Ok, sounds like (well, like you said) questions that speed up the getting to know each other process, in that one doesn't talk just about the weather and "what's your favorite language".

Seems like a useful tool, to me, if combined with more standard things like coding skill tests etc. Thanks for the idea.

>It has surprised me that the initial discussion on the Debian mailing list somehow managed to only address SysVinit, Upstart and systemd. Nobody took a serious look at runit or s6.

Was s6 even mature at the time? Runit has no reliable dependency or ordering features, so it is a poor substitute for startpar, upstart, or systemd.

OpenRC should have been considered, but at the time it had no supervision features. Which was something that people really wanted from a service manager and one of the primary reasons for moving away from sysvinit/startpar.

I think it’s more likely the companies will thrive, but that the CCP will keep them on a tight leash. Jack Ma will be marginalized and replaced with a CCP insider. The company will continue to be a monopoly with de facto support from the CCP. I think the only reason they’re even in the current predicament is that Ma publicly insulted other well-connected financial firms, and Xi started to believe that Ma was stepping out of line, and wanted to make an example of him. Alibaba itself is too important to China, but Ma is mostly expendable.

This is one of those areas where more companies need to realize they're not a FAANG. As Joel has pointed out in the past, you're not getting the cream of the crop as a normal company. Likewise you probably neither need nor even want the top. However what you do need is to plug a few holes here and there.

As a hiring manager I find it much better to think in terms of a skill mesh. I'm always looking to bring the collective whole forward. A candidate can do that by bringing new skills to the table, by being awesome at existing skills, or some mix of all of the above.

Assuming a process won't fail or a machine won't reboot for 3+ days is a bad idea on any OS, although it's certainly a worse idea on one that's targeted at the general public who only use Chrome and Office.

Writing the code in a way that can't be resumed is the person's second mistake.

Given this anecdote, I still prefer auto-updating Windows because it keeps everyone more safe. It's terrifying that there are millions of machines running Windows with access to my personal financial and medical data, and many of those may have 0-days on them. I don't know how we got by when those devices sometimes weren't fully updated for yeads.
This is not true. Plenty of innovations have destabilized the world. Look at all of WW1’s weaponry. Look at Facebook allowing mass brainwashing to rip the United States apart.

But more to the point, even if it were true, the CCP isn’t interested in the stability of humanity. They’re interested in the stability of their own power.
It was a maddening year. I lived in Quebec until October 2020, and there the public health director was an active source of disinformation. I believe he still argues against aerosols.

To have all the correct info available right from the getgo, and to have public health authorities actively spread wrong information. Maddening.

One of the things that has agonized people is not knowing what is safe. There’s been basically no documented outdoor transmission. You can see friends and family outside fairly safely. Just keep a little distance. If you hug, hold your breathe. Knowing the mechanisms you can gauge what is likely to spread and what isn’t.

I still know of people washing groceries and avoiding hugs but not so worried about removing masks to eat in a group indoor setting.
Why... not add these to the default tracking lists used in pihole and call it a day ?
Been using pihole on 1. Zero w and 2. 3b+ for over a year now at two places. Around 2 mil domains in the list and 70%-80% domains blocked like always.
Jack Ma had already stepped away from Alibaba. Which is also why the crackdown isn't that harsh on Alibaba itself but is rather focused on ANT which Ma is much more actively involved with. Additionally ANT is the point of contention as the CCP finds anything that muddles with credit or deposits to drastically undermine the iron fist on monetary policy.

I agree in broad strokes that tech firms will thrive now. This fine shows both the intent and the level of severity of policy now which were both previously unknowns. Market hates unknowns and often very pessimistically prices in risk.
This seems more like a scrape than a leak. I’m not sure companies can really be blamed for scrapes of public information.
