Uh yeah no. Renaissance Technologies LLC is a hedge fund. The Renaissance listed on his resume is related to gaming, not securities trading.
What kind of metric are you using that makes you conclude that bitcoin has fallen? The last few months have been a steady climb and the highest price ever was a week ago.
Their untenable economic fanstasies aside, the neo-socialists (Bernie, AOC and friends) who are rising in the democratic party are TONS better than the neoliberal old guard (Biden, Feinstein, etc. those kinds of dinosaurs) when it comes to showing restraint before throwing additional state law enforcement power at problems.

The republicans have made a similar shift in that the moralizing christian right has a lot less influence among the new ones.

I think things will be a lot better in 10-20yr as the dinosaurs from both parties drop dead.

Thalassophobia warning
I would encourage you not to post people's contact information publicly, specially in a thread as volatile as this one. Writing "He claims in his personal website" would bring the point across fine.

This being the internet, I'm sure the guy is getting plenty of hate mail as it is. No need to make it worse.
The RFC proposes to change the BGP finite-state machine, not the protocol.
I agree, but the argument holds --- in particular I'm thinking of Google's supremacy experiment, where they did do something that, taken as a generic process, would require resources beyond "the best available classical hardware and the best available classical algorithms of the time". However, people play catch-up, and end up coming up with classical approaches for that particular experiment. Of course, factoring is a special and very strong case that is less susceptible to this.
I think 5 here refers to 5 years of experience with Erlang, Elixir or any other BEAM language. :)
I have a strong aversion to buying ebook licenses because I worry that a capricious Amazon support person could make my entire library disappear in a moment with no recourse available.

I think a system where I could buy an ebook NFT and that would not only grant me a license to download the ebook, but also authorize third parties to transfer the data of the ebook to me (probably for a nominal fee in crypto) would be cool. Essentially, a legal platform-agnostic torrent system as file store.

I'd be much more interesting in building a digital library if it seemed like it could both have resale value and would serve as a durable mechanism for accessing that information throughout my lifetime and beyond. However, solving that issue requires building an amount of trust that will not come quickly - we are years away from this future at minimum.
They ran it by the IRB after publishing the paper, and the IRB issued a post-hoc exemption.

Disgusting.
> I've read that lots of foreign investors are buying homes in cash, over market rate, and then letting them sit vacant.

This is used to launder illegally acquired assets that are brought in the country. Then as a bootstrap toward acquiring western passports.

> If Canada's laws don't discourage this

It encourages it. Out of control immigration quotas as well as lax regulations regarding birth tourism and a liberal-party friendly immigrant base has made it a no brainer for the current party to keep the bubble expanding.
You certainly can - I’d guess that fewer people feel those drugs benefit them and/or society in the long term, but not zero (insert Paul Erdos anecdote here).
Thanks! If only I could teleport back in time and tell myself some things
This looks a very cynical attempt to leverage PC language to manipulate people. Basically a social engineering attack. They surely will try to present it as pentest, but IMHO it should be treated as an attack.
I'm using 25 G of ram (out of 32) right now and I only have one IDE open.

Precisely.

What you described is exactly what happened in China and Vietnam: one short strict lockdown while taking care of people's material necessities. Unsurprisingly, both countries have eliminated community transmission.
"too black and white when there is a lot of grey"

Actually, I tend to be the one advocating for the grey area solutions. I think in the West we have too much emphasis on one of two opposing solutions being the complete and correct answer, when the best option is probably some amalgamation of the best parts of both ideas.
ahh, so it does come back to cache line alignment. Reading aligned data doesn't give any benefit in and of itself[1]. At least not on modern hardware. I guess the performance improvement would make sense since SIMD instructions are sized to be a multiple of the cache line size.

I am a user of the Linux kernel which a publicly funded university using my tax dollars just attempted to subvert in order to jerk themselves off over a research paper.
The Georgist position is that capital is entitled to the returns on capital, labor is entitled to the returns on labor. Both of these are "legitimate" because labor would not give any gains to capital if they could produce more without it. Labor employs capital (or chooses to be employed by capitalists) because it increases the productivity of labor - it grows the pie even if they don't get the entirety of it while employing capital. Labor's legitimate claim to its own fruit is self-evident to most people.

The fruits of labor that are not accounted for in a quid pro quo transaction with capital are those that go to land, for which there can be no quid pro quo transaction because you must occupy (and labor upon) land. If there were infinite land available, labor could simply move to that land and produce what they themselves can produce from nature with no gains going to capital because they need not employ capital to survive. If there were infinite land available, the only people who would choose to employ capital (or be employed by a capitalist, same thing) are those who believe the bigger pie is worth the smaller slice.

However we do not live in a world of infinite land, and so that calculus happens^ but it is coerced by the necessity to live and work on land owned by neither labor nor capital. Given that capitalists don't work directly on land and are generally "more efficient" (this is why capital is valuable, aka this efficiency is what capital is), the world becomes separated into those above the "rent line" and those below the "rent line," and there are far more capitalists above than below and far more laborers below than above. This creates tension between labor and capital, but neither of them are getting what they produce, but that's not because capital is stealing from labor - rather land is stealing from both, just capital has greater capacity to be stolen from before descending into poverty.

In any case:

* Not every point of an ideology is mutually exclusive of every point of every competitive ideology.

* Georgism is not about socializing land nor centralizing control. It is explicitly not about that. It is about socializing the gains on land produced by external factors (nearby public and private investment, technological improvements, etc)

* You mention Georgism tends to be politically unstable. Could you point to some historical examples you have in mind?
I see, their long term goal is to make and sell an enterprise data access layer / tooling on to of databases and data sources, like those used inside big tech companies to mediate developer access to data.
Yes. Thank you for your work all those years.
The customer isn't the one who reads the smart contract or needs to understand it. The customer just pays for a product and receives it.

The smart contract is intended to enforce provisions between an author and a publisher, and one should expect an author to understand how their property will be protected.
I wonder if its possible to start a transaction at the beginning of each test and then rollback. That way we just need a db to run but it will never really be written to.

Or maybe just invest in this: https://github.com/oguimbal/pg-mem/issues/27 He has already put a lot of effort into it and I think with just a bit more support he can support Prisma
Your reasoning might hold for an average user but not for a billionaire like Musk. He'll obviously have very smart people research and design a cycle for him that mitigates the usual side effects. With calorie intake monitoring, vitamins and anything you can remotely think of. A guy like Musk will also react more controlled with regard to amphetamines.

Whether he actually uses amphetamines I have no idea. But I'd not be surprised to learn that he has his own RC lab.
"The ORM saves us time working, but they don't save us time learning." Paraphrasing Joel Spolsky. Also, I hate every single time he is right, which at this point is daily.
Thank you. I don't understand why people continue to post paywalled content on HN.
Out of curiosity, how do you make changes or opt out?
Why would it have to be an unknown entity? I imagine in at least some court cases there could be potential antagonists to pin the blame on.
If the area you’re looking at has land supply (I.e, empty lots and not all built up) I would wait - there is a new house supply crunch caused by inflated materials cost caused by drops in production during covid.

Those at least should level out at some point and supply in those areas increase.

All bets are off in built up metro areas. Be sure you won’t have regrets if you end up having to stay there 10+ years.
Yeah and horses trampled over kids all the time. Justification enough is that the kids should've known better
What do you suppose is the ratio of undetected bad actors / detected bad actors? If it is anything other than zero I think the original point holds.

> There is only one real question here: why is that 1916-1980 Fed stimulus would tend to raise wages, whereas since 2000 Fed stimulus has no effect on wages but instead becomes asset inflation?

Because recent Fed monetary policy occurs in a different fiscal policy environment, and fiscal policy has a lot more impact on distribution of returns than monetary policy.

> What is holding wages down?

4 decades of fiscal (both tax and benefit) policy starting with Republicans and then joined by Clintonian Third Way Democrats which has focussed on taking support away from the poor and working class and concentrating gains in the narrow, major investor class in the notional hope that those at the bottom will get trickled-down-upon by the wealthy (a hope which has been realized more in the form of golden showers than showers of gold.)
I read AGPL as "if you need to clone the Grafana Git repository, change code (even just one line), then you need to open source your changes". If you write code without having to modify Grafana's code itself, then you don't need to open source that.
I just write JavaScript? The concepts of Basecamp's Hotwire[0] are particularly simple and elegant enough for the 1% of stuff that isn't just a static page or can't be solved in a single JS function.

I've never been like "boy I really need a virtual DOM" so I guess I've never really seen the appeal of React. It just seems like a bundle of complexity, obfuscation and anti-patterns.

Oh, I thought this was about the people who spend thousands of dollars in games.

Ridiculous that these creatures are still being hunted. Just, why?
Sounds like Houston.

I’m surprised someone hasn’t bought a rail line with one end in a major metro and the other an hour away in empty land and just built a rail suburb.
> you would lock down and provide income/food/capabilities for people to live regardless of their social/economic status.

You are mistaking democracy with other virtues. income/food/capabilities do not come from thin air, it is eventually generated by people and under lockdowns when most economy is at a standstill this is incredibly difficult. So even the "redistribution" does not work that well. India is also a far poorer country so there is not much to distribute in first place.

> locking down isn't why poor people hurt, locking down and doing nothing to feed them does.

What we need is some humility that we do not fully understand what others need and the only way to find it out is by giving people freedom. Poor people in India right now do not want anyone's alms. They are more interested into going out, doing what they want to do rather than just get food clothing and shelter. The previous lockdown did ensure that everyone had food clothing and shelter through government and private charity efforts but people were in general pretty upset.

I think we should stop assigning blame to democracy just because realities don't match up our expectations, partly because we are not infinitely smart to understand what other people want.
Isn’t there just way too much money floating around and people have no productive uses for it? Looking at the stock market and the housing market this seems to be the most reasonable explanation.
Disgusting that these types of organizations are allowed tax exempt status.
total lie, they have both stack ranking and forced firing, and it's often passed down to specific managers on small teams. The reviews tend to be mostly political, it's completely corrupt.

I would be really nice if FeedBurner added support for things like inserting podcast namespace tags that are part of the Podcasting 2.0 initiative rather so I don't need to change podcast hosting providers in order to start adding things like the value tag.

No, "armed" means having a firearm on your person. You wouldn't get charged with "Armed Bank Robbery" if you walked into a bank wielding a flagpole.
The video [0] is great!

Years ago, buying a home seemed like something you can easily share and celebrate with acquaintances. Recently buying a home in the Bay Area, I felt that's passed and I try not to bring it up. I don't feel any satisfaction from celebrating or bringing up something that 20 people in a gathering have very dim prospects of ever affording, and questions about it make me feel uneasy about their possible uneasiness.

I'm in California so our similar law produced a similar result, but it's only once per website and (importantly) it's extremely clear and gives me a simple choice focused on my preferences, rather than those of the website operator.

Now if we could just do something about js popups...
You can claim that by having signal on your phone, it probably compromised the evidence gathering and you didn't know about it and you don't know how, so that evidence is not trustworthy. Kind of like police opening anti-tamper / anti-shoplifting seals which ruin the item they are trying to confiscate with a large amount of dye.

Wickard v. Filburn pretty much ended the idea of any real limitations in regards to calling something interstate commerce:

"An Ohio farmer, Roscoe Filburn, was growing wheat to feed animals on his own farm. The US government had established limits on wheat production, based on the acreage owned by a farmer, to stabilize wheat prices and supplies. Filburn grew more than was permitted and so was ordered to pay a penalty. In response, he said that because his wheat was not sold, it could not be regulated as commerce, let alone 'interstate" commerce'..."

Roscoe lost.

This indeed looks like a FUD statement, implying that they can have an infinite amount of potential vulnerabilities. Realistically though, writing parsers that do not yield control of your whole device is not that complex. The people exploiting iOS zero days can certainly do it.
I miss the old days where everything was transmitted from 1 camera in the nosebleed section. Switching the camera all the time is fatiguing.

With how much increase in bandwidth we have now days, they should just broadcast all of their different camera views. Sports bars would be much more interesting if you could look at different screens for different views.
Poland is currently circling the drain in toilet. The regime that gained power in 2015 did so with the help of Russia* and is covertly pro-Russian (watch their actions, not their words). It's no longer a democracy but an informational autocracy - like Venezuela, Russia, Ecuador, Peru, Malaysia, Hungary.

Not sure where you live - but I travel full time in an RV and have stayed and traveled through El Paso, Austin, Houston, San Antonio and everywhere in between in the last 3 months. Maybe some are still hiding at home, but from my experience the overwhelming majority of Texans seem to be out enjoying the sunshine and open businesses.
From the web page: "Application developers should care about data – not SQL"

That is fundamentally wrong - or at least - it is very limiting.

Think very hard about adopting a framework that tries to shield you from SQL.
Because at the end of the day, you will be looking at SELECTS and INSERTS in your logs because you are wondering why things are so slow or why your memory usage skyrockets.

It looks like Prisma allows you to go to raw SQL if you must, yet you won't have a good time using some of PostgreSQL more advanced features.

If your domain model is simple and will remain simple in the future, then - by all means - use a builder that creates queries from your domain model. Use a single-source-of-truth approach that is usable from the back-end and front-end.

In other cases, where your domain model changes over time, be very careful when choosing an ORM but extra double careful in picking the right data store.
I think its intentionally mixing messages. It combines sincere insight into the benefits of mindfulness. However, the world the narrator speaks in is clearly a fantasy world detached from reality. The video both makes a profound case for mindfulness while satirizing its own arguments.
it is hard to talk about an issue for which no solid data is available. To make a comparison, a decade ago, one would have needed to have started recording searches. Unfortunately, and this is why algorithms can be so insidous, collecting data to prove the decline of google is almost impossible.

So despite being blindingly obvious, it is difficult to make a mature discussion based on 'feelings', vague as they are.

A research that would work would be to show how irrelevant current results are. Certainly, that wouldn't be hard to prove, even without comparing it to external data.
No. I'm sure I could have, I didn't want a new phone number, and I guess I would have have run into much the same problem closing the old account anyway.

In Seattle, I know people who received the equivalent of $75k/year on unemployment from various government sources. That exceeds the median household income in the State, never mind individual income. This is on top of, in some cases, a generous severance.

That easily covered their mortgage and their lifestyle, even in this expensive city, and was in no way sustainable. They had no interest in looking for work while they were receiving those benefits, but now that the benefits are disappearing they've started looking for work again.

The common definition of greed would be the selfish desire of more than one needs, the "little guy" by definition that us taken by investment scams or mass Crypto pump and dump scams usually isn't seeking more than they need, but in such a desperate and dire financial and economic position they are usually just attempting to gain some footing to put them on level ground. At the end of the day the scams exist because they work, whether you blame it on their the greed of the victim or it is just an act of desperation is irrelevant, the conduct that can and should be regulated is that of the scammers.
This is so cool! and I love the name! Thank you for sharing.
Am I reading that correctly? The exponential spike represents approximately 1.5 deaths in a million?
Another major change is that for most people of moderate income the standard deduction is now so high that there’s no point in itemizing mortgage interest.
Prometheus is designed around metric centralization and running a scraper at some interval (every 15s). Netdata was originally focused on running on a single node and collecting at small intervals. Centralizing that data every second is a separate task, and you could avoid it with Netdata simply by viewing Netdata on the node in question. Netdata can also be configured to stream data to a central node.

The centralized pull architecture of Prometheus does not lend itself towards small interval updates or towards resiliency (you actually need to run 2 Prometheus and double scrape for that).
Any idea what this means? It is at the bottom of the article:
