I don't. He is not a General. He was the head of the IRGC, which is a proscribed terrorist organization. The IRGC is the biggest terrorist organization in the world, which arguably makes Solameini the biggest terrorist in the world.

So, on the one side we have Iran killing it's own civilians, Iraqi civilians, Syrian civilians, Yemeni civilians etc on a large scale. The annihilation of the entire Israeli state is also on their wish list. Men, women and children. Driven into the sea.

On the other side, we have the United States, taking out a terrorist chief, and a handful of terrorist bodyguards with an airstrike.

It is hard for me to draw any sort of meaningful comparison between Iran's terrorism in the Middle East and the response of the United States to their threats. Somewhat similarly for Israel.
Yes, exactly.

For me, right to privacy declines with impact to others. What you're doing alone in your house? Don't care. Between consenting adults? I almost don't care, except when public health matters (e.g., STDs, or COVID contact tracing). but the more we move toward public impact, the more I think there's a public right to know.

Another way to look at it is that people have a right to privacy, but not secrecy. Me lending my brother some money is reasonably seen as private. Me giving the same amount of money to a legislator as a bribe is something I might want to keep secret, but given the public impact, can't really be called private.
Buy-side firms don’t use BS with the same assumptions as market makers. If you’re a fund manager, you are interested in objective estimates of the value. If you’re a market maker you want to show that you can perfectly replicate and thusly hedge your derivatives. Never mind that you have to recalibrate your model every 20 minutes.

For a model that is supposed to measure the objective value of an asset, that’s clear failure. BS is at this point just a vague market consensus which stinks more and more, the farther you stray away from vanilla European options.

I only somewhat agree with respect to canoes.

Grummans are great and they're still being made (though not by the original company).

However, for recreational/tripping/whitewater, Royalex-based canoes were better for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately the material is no longer being made because its intended use (Go Carts) didn't take off to the degree planned. The company continued to make it on a more or less breakeven basis but upon a change of ownership the new owner decided to scrap it. There have been one or two efforts to make something equivalent, but AFAIK they haven't panned out.

There are still plenty of well-made fiberglass/Kevlar boats being made but they're much more fragile.

Maven is great so long as there's a plugin to do what you need to do. If there isn't, it's quite possible that writing one will be simpler than trying to coax Maven into doing something unorthodox.

Sure, but wouldn't realistic intervals be more like x in [0.29999999999999996, 0.30000000000000004]?

I mean, intervals as large as whole numbers might make sense if your calculations are dealing with values in the trillions and beyond... but isn't the point of interval arithmetic to deal with the usually tiny errors that occur in FP representation?
> The U.S. has the world’s best designed and maintained rail infrastructure

I don’t think you can really compare the infrastructure freight trains use with high speed rail. Designing and maintaining a rail network where trains go at up to 350kph is a much tougher job.

So, I’d argue the US rail infrastructure isn’t even close to being one of the best.

Well, then carbon offsets raise in price as it becomes more expensive to offset a given quantity of CO2. This makes various schemes relying on purchasing offsets more and more expensive, until they become unfeasible or are spending so much that really radical advanced techniques can be developed or become realistic to implement.

0.299999999999999988897769753748434595763683319091796875 suggests 54 fractional digits of precision, which is misleading.

0.29999999999999998 or 0.29999999999999999 are less misleading but wasteful. Remember they are not only visible to users but can be serialized in decimal representations (thanks to, e.g. JSON).

In fact, most uses of FP are essentially lies, providing an illusion of real numbers with a limited storage. It is just a matter of choosing which lie to keep.

Honor just means doing the right thing, and it is also the respect you receive for doing so. The history of the word just means being a good person.

Honor in terms of death and politics is often a manipulated distortion of what is right.

Doing the right thing is often difficult, and this notion is used to manipulate people into killing each other.

There is honor in not selling your dignity for money, or in doing the right thing when it is unpopular or difficult.

There is no honor in killing people to enforce an oppressive power structure. It's about your personal choices, it's not inherently political.

If Iran got close to creating a Nuke wouldn't the US just bomb the site? Iran must surely know that it will not get away with building nukes either. So what are they doing?

Iran's bark is larger then it's bite. I think it just wants to use its nuclear activities as a bargaining chip for sanction relief.

So why should the US do anything at all regarding Iran? It can destroy those sites easily enough if it needs to.

Why doesn't it just refuse to negotiate and keep Iran poor?

Iran's military threat are, relatively, a mild annoyance, and calling their bluff and immediately escalating as trump did when he killed Soleimani seems to temper them as any escalation hurts them a lot more then it does the US.

I think when we treat Iran as a real threat, as we did with NK, it just gives them more legitimacy then they deserve.

> I don't want early abort. Don't know how else to say it. If I have 5 operations, each of which can fail, I want them to be 5 visually distinct stanzas in my source, and I want to be able to manipulate the errors from each independently.

Sure you do, in 95% of cases. That's why the whole

if res, err := fn(...); err != nil {
return nil, err
}

stanza exists in the first place. And if you don't want it (in Rust), Result being a first-class value means you don't have to early-abort. You just don't type `?` and you operate on the Result directly.

I have to say I'm pretty certain at this point that you haven't actually used Rust, because your points here just... aren't how things work in the language. `?` desugars to the golang error stanza almost verbatim, and if you don't want that you have plenty of other options for how to specifically handle your errors.

> I'm sorry, but I just don't agree. You call looping, bounds-checking, index, etc. minutia, but I don't see it that way.

Wild. It's incomprehensible to me that

foo
.filter(|v| v % 2 == 0 )
.map(|a| a + 1);

is somehow less clear to anyone, or that anyone could think there's less room for unintended bugs than

res := make([]int, len(items))
for _, v := range items {
if (v % 2 == 0) {
res = append(res, v + 1)
}
}

when literally 95% of that code is boilerplate. It's immediately clear in the first example that we're incrementing every even number. In the second example, you have to visually parse significantly more code to get the gist, you have to remember to allocate an slice of the right capacity to avoid multiple reallocations for large slices, and you even end up with a slice that's too large for the data it contains in the end.

There's no argument for the go loop being "better" than the Rust equivalent that doesn't also argue that the C version with the additional hassle of bounds-checking and manual incrementing is better still.

That seems extreme. Managers have to lead and make decisions. If they don't then you rapidly end up with chaos. That's how some firms end up with 10 different languages being used, where no engineer can work on anyone else's codebase because there's no consistency about anything, where progress is minimal because decisions don't get made due to some people disagreeing with each other and having no way to break the deadlock, etc.

I think it's become sort of fashionable to claim bosses are always clueless or shouldn't actually try to manage because their employees are always smarter than they are. The "servant manager" idea. That is dead wrong in my experience. Or rather, if the manager has no idea how to do the work their employees are doing and just sits out that part of their role, the team has much bigger problems.

Yup. Options market makers, the critical mass of dynamic hedgers, don’t blow up any more [1]. I left the business ten years ago, and was probably among the last well-paid people to do it. There isn’t much risk anymore which means there isn’t room for ingenuity—it’s execution, mechanical.

Between market circuit breakers limiting instantaneous price moves; the tremendous amount of liquidity in option-covered symbols; tail-risk estimating options models; and fully electronic options, equities and money markets, there simply isn’t empirical evidence for hidden risks in the model. Cash equities execution was once super complicated. It’s now commoditised. Same for options.

It sells books to claim otherwise. But you largely need to re-tell stories from the 90s, where LTCM bet on short-term Russian debt, or recount crisis-era structured products on illiquid mortgages to fill the pages.

It is definitely being sold at a loss, the Cyclone V SOC being used costs more than the entire development board.[0] I wonder if Intel will ever take notice due to MiSTer's growing popularity and quit subsidizing the board.

Edit: it was erroneous of me to state the board was being sold at a loss, rather I meant that the board was being definitely being subsidized by companies such as Intel and their partners such as Panasonic. My mistake.
I also wasn't meaning to convey that the consumer Digikey pricing was the same as the large volume manufacturers such as Terasic. Rather I meant to demonstrate and agree with the OP on the astounding situation that MiSTer currently exists in, owning to the lack of economic viability for someone to produce a low volume commercial FPGA emulation machine for a niche audience without any subsidization.

Outside of maybe some routes in UK/France/Netherlands/Belgium/(western) Germany basically flying will always be vastly, vastly quicker going between different European countries.
