I got very excited when I saw the description of the video "Conversion of game into C++ with cicoparser and IDA disassembler". I thought "neat, a new decompiler".

But then I understood what CicoParser is doing: it translates machine instructions into C-statements, i.e. when your binary contains an instruction like "mov 123,sp", the output will be a C source file with a statement "memory16(_ds,123)=_sp;". On the github page, they say it is not a CPU emulator, but I would rather say it is a CPU emulator with AOT compilation of the binary.

Actually a lot of people here hate crypto for various reasons. One big one is the disastrous environmental impact of the proof of work algorithm (yes we know Ethereum will try proof of stake soon since years).

1) innovation: a lot of people are already investing in startups. The main value of your idea is to do something existing, but with crypto. Which has most likely already been tried. It's not necessarily a bad idea. The execution is probably more important than the initial idea.

2) legal issues: why would using crypto avoid you the regulations ? I feel like it will make everything more difficult and confusing for everyone if you want to do it legally.

3) usability: you will most likely target a very small group of experts. crypto are not user-friendly.

Your startup idea may work. Some people are very much into crypto and you could target them. Personally I would consider the impact of my work to the society. The proof of work is a no-go for me, but you may not care.

Some people in Singapore may love their flats. Some of them might wish they could buy a house. People should be able to choose. People who love flats can live in flats, people who live detached homes can save up and buy or build one.

It is odd that we have simply accepted that the government has the right to tell everyone if they can live in a flat or a house.

I could think that arranged marriages are much better than choosing your relationship; but that doesn't mean I think that it should be a government policy and government should ban your own choice of relationship. You can have an arranged marriage if you want, even in the West. It works for some people, doesn't work for others.

Some people love flats and renting. Some like owning a flat, some like renting a house, some like owning a house, some like living in the woods off grid, and some like backpacking around the world without a house. Choice is great.
I wonder how much of that is due to living situation. If you live in a city with lots of traffic and they have to cross dangerous intersections to get to a park, I can see why you'd worry about them.

But even then, 11 years old sounds ridiculous. Almost every kid walks to school on their own at age 7 here in Austria, so I really don't understand how over-protective some parents are.

> "you're not allowed to like the NAT"

Well, the bigger question might be why do they like NAT?

If it's about having a single /128 address so they can do ACLs then that's easily fixed by just lowering the CIDR number. (unless you have an ancient version of fortigate on prem, which likely doesn't work with ipv6 anyway).

If it's about not having things poking at your servers through the NAT then the "NAT" really isn't helping anything, it's the stateful firewall doing _all_ the work there and those things are entirely independent systems. -- They're just sold to consumers as a single package.
Firefox and Chrome both don't on my machine ... so probably not!
I would definitely agree that it depends on the strength/weakness of the docs/SO for that ecosystem.

For example. MDN had terrific docs for JavaScript and web apis. Things are discreetly segmented and this easy to navigate. Terrific, up to date information about how to things, why as well as great information on the caveats of the API (what works where and what fails where).

The SO answers are often a hack on how to implement it in an outdated framework. And ten variations that are "faster".

But you might still end up there because you're not sure how to look it up directly in the docs. Maybe you do an SO layover.

.Net is similar, although the official documentation suffers from marketing speak pollution, where it's hard to find answers because Microsoft names their APIs by randomly permutating ASP, Entity, Core and Framework when making things.

Add to that all the trashy noob doc sites, codeproject, csharpcorner... that pollute search.

Both ecosystems suffer on SO because of SOs inability to stay up to date with a changing API. A great example is all the Python 2 answers.

Then you have ecosystems like Scala, which has terrific documentation in source code. As well as official docs that are reasonably easy to navigate. But it's not a huge ecosystem, so sometimes it's hard to find answers to questions that haven't been asked. Then SO provides a valuable platform to get those answers. Sometimes from the maintainers themselves.

All in all, SO often offers a good complement to official docs, ranging from excellent to subpar. Personally I wished it was better at providing up to date information.

Make sure to read the replies to this one, as the tweet you have linked to seems to massively misrepresent the sales in question (presenting them as proportions of these peoples total holdings, rather than the proportion of the shares they'd registered to sell)

Compared this, from the quoted tweet:

> On the same day #Coinbase CEO @brian_armstrong was on @CNBC publicly pumping COIN, he was privately dumping 71% of his shares.

with [1]:

> CEO Brian Armstrong sold 749,999 shares in three batches at prices ranging from $381 to $410.40 per for total proceeds of $291.8 million, according to one filing. While a Coinbase representative declined to comment due to the company being in a so-called “quiet period,” based on filings made before the listing, it would indicate Armstrong sold about 1.5% of his stake.

[EDIT: I'll note that both Taleb and the person he quoted have had their mistake pointed out to them and have just ignored it, which frankly is a pretty awful look]

Even 1252/100000... That means that straight up being an alcoholic elevates your risk from 0.94% to 1.25%. I would never have expected alcoholism to be so safe. I could totally see someone make the decision to accept a 0.3 percentage point increase in risk.
> Even now, with alcohol, a lot of the big companies are trying hard to make alcohol much less a part of business and corporate culture.

You mean going for a drink after work, right? Because I haven't heard of many places where alcohol is a part of corporate culture. During normal business meetings it's usually a taboo to have a drink during the day - unless, say, you're in Italy/France and drink wine to accompany the meal. But in many places of the world the smell of alcohol at work can have you fired immediately.
The biggest flaw in this report is that it doesn't say what classifies as a non-drinker!? It seems to imply that anyone who drinks 1 or more units of alcohol day is a drinker, so that was suggest anything less has no demonstratable negative effects.

These kinds of studies are usually based self-reporting via questionnaires, so the data is going to be wildly inaccurate. Any small correlation is in the data is probably meaningless. The other problem is that the risks of consuming alcohol are different for each person. Failing to take someone's diet into account also invalidates the results.
I consider that part of option 2.

What I find common is people conflate NAT with stateful firewalling, and believe that if you lose NAT you lose all forms of edge/perimeter network security. They don't understand that you can still filter and prevent unwanted packets from reaching hosts without NAT.
Yes, intervals are just ratios of numbers, corresponding to frequency ratios. 2:1 is an octave, 3:2 is a fifth, 4:3 a fourth and so on. I didn't even know this was controversial.

Of course a lot of other stuff in music and music theory is due to history and tradition. For example the names of the intervals (octave, fourth, fifth etc.) presumes a 7-note scale. Using 7 as reference is tradition, e.g. the pentatonic scale has 5 notes.
Otherwise; his monetary musings are kind of mess up. From points in a computer game (Roblux), over proof of work distributed cryptocurrencies, to international interbank settlement using swift, to daily mobile payments replacing cash or card.

It is not the same stuff.

What China is doing foremostly prudent. It is about controlling credit creation.

Not just limiting credit creation but also expanding it (or getting similar effects by using time limited money which obviously has faster velocity). If you give all your citizens an account at the central bank then your traditional bank disappears and with it the goes credit creation done by it.

China and Western states for that matter can already do all the surveillance they want (using your credit card transactions or your mobile phone).

As for payments between countries: This is not a technical problem but a problem of trust in currency and the credit extended.

> Let me rephrase: doesn't everyone want to win the game they choose to play? If you don't then maybe you picked the wrong game. If you choose to strive for a fulfilling relationship, and you succeed in achieving that then yes, you've won.

I find the combination of talking about "winning" and "game" in a sense of "having relationships" completely forced and odd. Those two really dont mix well. In the context of personal relationship, association with game and winning is typically related to toxic relationships.

That said..you don't go straight from not drinking to 8 drinks a day. The habit usually starts slow and builds up.

For me it was:

- One beer after work is OK. Some say even good for your health. I need to unwind.

- Hey, I worked very hard today. I deserve two today.

(fast forward ~2 years, drinking two beers on average every day)

- It's not drinking if you drink craft beers. It's being a beer connoisseur. And those can drink a lot, because, err, there's a lot of fancy IPAs to try. It's also not drinking if you "like" that beer on beeradvocate.

- There are also bourbon connoisseurs! Let's also try drinking bourboun! No need to cut down on the beer though.

(fast forward another ~2 years to drinking a bottle of bourboun a week and 4 beers a night..)

So to answer your question, it took me about ~4 years to go from what would some consider to be even good for your health to drinking like a pro. Without anyone noticing.

Working in tech also makes it easy to hide the habit. Nobody will bat an eye if you turn up for work at 11 as long as you deliver. You can also "WFH" if you have a particularly bad hangover.

I'm so glad I quit and the damage I did to my body seems mostly reversible. Shout out to the /r/stopdrinking subreddit.

Yup, COVID-19 shows me something that I have suspected all along - a LOT of parents are not comfortable to be with their OWN children.

Because schools are closed, parents have to be with their children all the time

A lot of them are really, really stressed out because of this.

Which begs the question - why the fuck did you bother to have kids then?

Children are blessings from heaven. If they can not see it that way, then they should free themselves from that and chose not to have kids instead

Mind blowing

Well let's not forget lobbying, corruption (more important than lobbying in some parts of the world, e.g. my country) and the plain and simple fact that politicians are usually quite rich (in many countries, not all) and so will own and rent houses, while having great influence on local laws.

The irony is that most educated people living in small towns want to get out

Doesn't seem like you know much about small towns. I grew up in one. The educated people are there because they want to be. That's sort of by definition, and follows from the fact that they're educated -- they have been somewhere else (you don't get "educated" in a small town, not in the way you mean), and they chose to go there.

The ones who want to leave are the uneducated ones, who would love to have an opportunity to get "educated" in that sense.

Your kids all else equal will be outsprinted by kids who live in more competitive cities

Not everyone wants to be part of this rat race you're talking about, nor do they want their children to be. Having ended up at FAANG (despite my small town upbringing), I talk with a lot of young people (interns, new hires) who are products of this rat race. By and large my impression is that:

1. They haven't lived much. They haven't done many things. They've been too busy in their competitive classes in competitive schools trying to get into competitive schools.

2. They don't seem very happy. They tend to be high strung. Nervous seeming. Scared of failure.

that decision will ripple through to future generations, e.g. your grandkids will be less educated.

How would you even know this? How do you know parental education status isn't the real factor?
The result they where considering was if 1 drink a day was 'healthier' than 0, and for that they found no evidence. That was the result they published, not that 1 drink was more 'dangerous' than zero but that the number of drinks pr day that minimizes health risk is 0.
Give me one example where not owning homes turned out to be better for the simple man, in surfdom Europe? in Communist countries? in housing commissions/estates/projects around the world? They just want to put their paws on our land so we will have nothing tangible and those people will be able to control your life exactly like in the examples I have mentioned before.

Also, what is it with skyscrappers? Did it solve the price problem in Manhatten? Each city has it's own character and dynamics, skyscrappers is not always the solution, only sometimes in some situations. Some countries are tiny and even skyscrappers don't solve anything.
In case of humans and health, the biggest variable is age. Biological aging is strongly connected to higher risk of serious diseases. (See Makeham-Gompertz law; this is the Gompertz component.) If you have groups of 100 000 people, but there are just a few slightly older people in the other group, the incidence of age-related diseases is expected to be higher.

Then there are subtle things such as "how many people in group A vs group B live next to a motorway or suffer from higher levels of ambient noise". Not to mention the cultural differences (religious fasting or absence thereof etc.)

Picking up huge groups of people that are perfectly equivalent is very, very hard.

But I am not a professional either. I studied algebra, not statistics, we only had a year-long course in the basics. Maybe I was too handwavy.

I personally have no issue with ML for finance books as long as they aren't just explaining rigid strategies, but more how to approach the topic of forecasting something as difficult as the financial markets. I think it's more about learning how to think when you're looking at these charts vs what is the one ML model that is going to bring me success for the rest of my life.

This editorialized title makes it easy to quickly arrive at a misunderstanding of the situation.
What the article says about Germany:

"Most important, in a few places the rate of home ownership is low and no one bats an eyelid. It is just 50% in Germany, which has a rental sector that encourages long-term tenancies and provides clear and enforceable rights for renters. With ample supply and few tax breaks or subsidies for owner-occupiers, home ownership is far less alluring and the political clout of nimbys is muted. Despite strong recent growth in some cities, Germany’s real house prices are, on average, no higher than they were in 1980."

Nowhere does the article say that speculators are the cause of high prices. Speculators are the result of a rapidly changing market, not the cause.

This. I'm from India, and the most important goal for any salaried person in India, is to own a piece of land. Maybe 150 - 200 square yards (decently sized to build a 3 bedroom house). And that land is not seen as an expense, but as an investment. An investment to be handed over to children.

And usually, families try to buy about 1 plot of land for each child typically.

I think that, no matter where you are in the world, land is an important asset. A place to live, a house to cover your head, reduces a lot of stress in life.

In India, there are three things considered first and foremost in life "Roti, Kapda Makaan".
