How does any of that help though? All you have done is move the existing system to blockchain. But if creditors still want to pull FICO scores to determine if someone is suitable it will still be the same result. Also the ability for information to fall off your credit report over time or for hard inquiries to be grouped together is a feature not a bug. If you went with a blockchain approach that bankruptcy from 11 years ago will always be on your report but with the current system it isn’t there because it is no longer determined to be relevant.

I disagree. I'm currently building a live webapp, and all of my users want to receive notifications when shows are going to start, so they don't miss anything. Since WebPush is pretty much unusable (unsupported on iOS, useless on Android) I had to resort to sending SMS to each of my users, which is expensive and a worse experience.

Just because the API is often used for evil, it doesn't mean that the API itself is hostile. I can think of many usecases where a properly functioning web push notification API would be desirable - the unfortunate truth is that the current implementation makes it useless for most real world scenarios.

Odd that despite being right wing and wanting all those right wing things you mentioned, the vast majority of donations on a company-wide and down to the employee level go to Democrat/left-wing causes and politicians. That's not even counting the many many in-kind donations they regularly serve up to left-wing candidates and causes.

It's also interesting that despite being right wing, it is rare to witness a higher-up or decision maker at any FAANG espouse conservative views on social media.

Whereas it's not unusual for them to be calling for stuff so crazily left-wing it would even make AOC blush. And often in a trollish or provocative manner; they're not gonna deplatform and unperson themselves after all.

notice you're contradicting yourself: active traders don't only trade with other active traders, they also trade with those same passive funds that bet on continuous growth in fundamentals of companies and the hope that eventually that growth will be reflected in the stock price.

then consider just how much shares passive funds move all the time due to continuous rebalancing they do due to their self-imposed mandate. (reminder: etfs hold ~$5T worth of assets.)
This won’t work for many people who don’t know the language or its ecosystem, but I’ve started doing my ad-hoc scripting in Rust using rust-script [0]. I’ve got a template with lots of boilerplate for everything I might need and I just copy it and delete the parts I don’t want. Having argument parsing, dotenv init, toml configuration and such ready to go with just a few tweaks, simple user prompting with dialoguer [1] and easy delegation to other tools with cmd_lib [2] means I can often write the tool I’m envisioning in just a couple of minutes.

In many European countries, credit bureaus only report negative credit history. Most people have empty reports, which is the best possible result. Lenders may ask aggregate statistics about other debt (total debt €X, total payments €Y/month) directly from the person, but they have no right to more detailed reports.

Also, it's my impression that people in the US often overestimate the importance of the credit score, as opposed to the detailed credit report. Major lenders tend to use private scoring systems anyway. Far too many people know how credit scores work and how to game the system, making public credit scores less useful than secret scoring systems.

That's not what "active" or "passive" mean in the investing context.

Active investing refers to active equity or bond selection and investment with the goal of generating excess alpha (i.e. beating the market)

Buying a traditional, managed mutual fund is a form of active investing.

Passive investing involves buying a large, diversified portfolio of equities and bonds such that you hold a percentage of the whole market. This is "passive" because there's no attempt to select specific stocks. The goal is simply to match the market by owning a portfolio that's representative of the market.

Buying an S&P 500 index fund is a form of passive investing.

Both could be done in consultation with a financial advisor.
This is all false and misleading. Lisp is a language family, not any one language. There is no the Lisp, from which it follows that Lisp cannot be "THE language".

Less known but even more applicable to software is "Principles of Product Development Flow." I learned about that book from the talk "Architecture Without an End State" and it's one of the most thoughtful things I've read on the topic. It references "The Goal" but builds out its ideas even more, mixing in a bunch of queue theory and taking lessons from many other areas such as statistical economics.
I get this. I have a low spec phone by today's standards, and it has android 10, it is pretty useless practically. It is pretty much stock. And I would gladly go back some versions for speed hikes.
I disagree. Even if an SPA framework (or more likely a library add-on) does a good job of reinventing the wheels of traditional HTML requests (e.g. announcing the name of the new "page" when it loads and setting focus), there are always going to be more details that will be at least a little harder to implement on each site.

I'm not fundamentally opposed to JavaScript frameworks, even when used to make SPAs. I think their downsides can be worth using them anyway and issues like accessibility can be overcome. They are a paradigm that are chosen too often without enough thought about the downsides and are a bad choice as default.

I'm running counter-current here. I bought a vaccine maker last year, putting a quarter of my stock portfolio in it over time (several buys on dips). The vaccine maker was then approved, and is one of the biggest ones rolling out globally. This wasn't a one off, as I continued to follow the news and bought more blocks over several months. My portfolio is up a significant amount. On one year blocks, I'll start to sell since it'll be taxed as long-term capital gains. That's non retirement brokerage account. Now in my IRA, I buy and sell every few months on dips and peaks. It doesn't have to be perfectly timed, but it's going up. My portfolio is 70% cash and I've been beating the market the past 5 years.

Other winners include tech companies and a space company.

Someone explain to me why I'm an imbecile and why I should have been invested in Vanguard index funds, something I did for decades prior to thjs.
Interesting idea! It looks like the Git repo doesn't get many updates, at least not on the master branch. Is it "dead", or is it "stable"?

Edit: it looks like as of 2018, the author was taking time off of working in tech (https://github.com/evincarofautumn/kitten/issues/201#issueco...). Maybe lack of activity means they got another job, or maybe they left the programming/tech world entirely.

I have multiple models of both the Fire TV/Stick and the Chromecast, and I agree.

I really, really want someone to release a Chromecast-like device that isn't Amazon or Google, though.

The latest Chromecast with Google TV barely works without granting Google access to a whole bunch of your private data. For example, you need to enable Web & App Activity across your entire Google account to use normal Chromecast features.

I will pay good money for a device that uses the castv2 protocol and doesn't siphon my data to Google's servers just so I can watch videos on my TV.

nepotism is a problem for me if people below me do it against my interests. it's also a problem for my superiors if i do it against their interests, but it is in my control and my responsibility so if i mess that up i have to deal with it myself.

the best way to avoid bias is to get recommendations from people outside who do not benefit from my choice.

if i hire people like me then asking those same people who else to hire will not help to improve diversity. the only way to improve diversity is to explicitly select for it. asking the team won't make much difference here.

the only time where asking the team is useful is when i want to make a technical evaluation, but even there i need to be careful that the feedback does not allow team members to reject candidates who are better than them.

I am not trying to be adversarial here and I am not trying to imply that you are trying to harm people with your policy opinions, I just disagree with some of your reasoning. I think it is pretty clear you care about these things as much as I do or more, you have just come to different conclusions than me, and that's OK.

I never said roads are a bad investment, I just think they shouldn't be our only investment. Roads are critical and I wish ours were better maintained.

I don't think that saying there are ripple effects that improve people's lives from building new infrastructure is vaporware or controversial. It happened when we first build railroads, transcontinental roads, and airports. I think it is safe to assume that this trend will extend to HSR as well. Just because the effects of HSR will manifest in ways that arent clear right now, doesn't mean that they won't happen. You seem to think that these effects will have a negative impact on society but I disagree. When you give people more options, people will take advantage of them, resulting in economic growth, which will improve people's lives.

There are plenty of places in the US that are flat enough and have the right density for HSR. The central valley in california, the north east corridor, western texas, and Florida are all good examples. These systems don't necessarily have to be connected to make sense. At a certain distance, flying makes more sense, and that is okay, we don't have to drill tunnels through the rockies to have functional systems.

People don't just travel to commute, they also travel for work, pleasure, to access healthcare, etc. These things will be easier with HSR.

Your argument that it centralizes jobs doesn't really make sense because that is already how it works in the US right now anyway, which you acknowledged. Adding HSR will give people who live farther away more access to these jobs, which I think is a good thing.

Yes the fed doesn't literally print money, but that is effectively what happens, debt or no debt. The government is suggesting a 2 trillion dollar infrastructure investment, which many consider to be me moderate. The US has the credit to invest more, and I believe the investment is worth the debt.

> Only to those of us with other work to do, did it look like a flash crash out of nowhere.

The market crashed last year because of COVID. Nobody saw that coming.

Everyone has been predicting a major correction or recession every year for at least the past 6 years. Claiming that they predicted what was going to happen last year is pretty blatant confirmation bias.

People predict a recession every year, and then when one finally hits, they say "see, I was right! Ignore all the years where it didn't happen!"

There will be another correction in the future, we don't know when it will hit, and the same pattern will play out again.

Maybe I'm a bit of a skeptic but I've seen this sort of behavior repeat itself over and over again with crypto. Maybe the people in your Discord group are really smarter than almost everyone else, but at the end of the day the vast majority of day traders who think they are using sophisticated strategies are just gambling.

I'm not saying it's impossible to make money - I just doubt you can intuitively get a sense for the "feel" of the market for something as largely traded as SPY. SPY traded 61 million shares yesterday (at $400 per). 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, I don't see how an "average" person can. There is enough volume in the markets for institutions to turn around a pretty big freighter.
This is the style I've settled on lately, where all the major keywords are left-aligned and the clauses are consistently indented. It uses a bit more vertical space, but I find it easier to read than any other formatting style I've seen (in the wild or produced by formatters).

select
a.foo,
b.bar,
g.zed
from
alpha a
join
beta b
on b.alpha_id = a.id
left join
gamma g
on g.beta_id = b.id
where
a.val > 1
and b.col < 2
order by
a.foo

It's really easy, for me anyway, to get an overview of the query with this style compared to styles that are more cramped or that are inconsistently wrapped/indented.

For simpler queries, I think this is okay too, but only if the clauses easily fit on a single line:

select ...
from ...
join ...
where ...

I've read quite a bit about transgenderism as a requirement for my degree, and nothing about them renders them incapable of holding down legal jobs. In fact, they have significant legal protections.

I'd disagree. The new Chromecast with Google TV requires you to disable privacy settings in order to use basic features on the Chromecast. I had to make a new Google account and enable Web & App History on it just so I could use the device normally.
I believe this would be used to subjugate people in the worst way.

cash is concrete. People can count how much they have. They know how much they spend. They can give it to someone in the middle of nowhere away from computers. If we had cards, all kinds of tracking and tracing would be added. Civil forfeiture could happen while the cash card was in your pocket.

There is just so much society would lose for the business convenience you're asking for.

Who defines 'reasonable'? As the federal government can't involve itself (which is at the heart of this so-called obsession,) the participants in the discussion will have to determine that for themselves. And if they can't agree on what is 'reasonable'?

There are restrictions, a brief history of which can be found at Truth Initiative[0]. I wonder, though, if these restrictions remain in place because no one in Big Tobacco will challenge them? Especially if these same restrictions help to keep smaller players out of the market...

It’s not resurgence of active trading. It’s a new brand of highly levered trading. We’ve never seen anything like it before. This was highlighted at institution level with Softbank last year and recently with Bill Hwang and Archegos debacle. And you see retail trading weekly options in high volume. Is it gambling? When was investment not gambling? It was always “informed” gambling with positive expected avg return.

What’s the economic impact of this behavior though? I want to say it’s generally negative since it’s bound to grossly disrupt proper price discovery but was that even the case before this period of excess leverage? I doubt it.
