Some of this is changing - I've heard that Redfin agents (who are employees - they don't split commissions the way other brokerages do) get paid a bonus structure that's tiered based on list price. So at the time they show you the house, the bonus they get if you buy it is already set, regardless what you pay for it. They still do have an incentive to show you more expensive homes, but they don't have an incentive to jack up your bid during the negotiations so that they get 3% of a bigger sale price. They also get paid for a bunch of other activities (like giving tours, writing offers, typing up agent notes that you see on the website), so it's not a total loss for them if you don't end up winning the bid.
It was also popular in the 80s, 70s, 60s, and yes, the 50s. Everything old is new. The real question is, "Why did people switch to single stage amps in the 1990s and 2000s?" The answer is that a bunch of chips appeared on the market around that time which could do everything.
Immediately setup my iPadOS 15 iPad beside my macOS 12 M1 machine....and it didn't work. At the time there were a couple of brief articles saying just move the mouse off the edge of your screen.

They haven't released this technology yet, so we can't test it out. Just an FYI to anyone who looks to try it out.

As an aside, I have a Mac Mini beside a MBP in my normal setup. My BT keyboard and mouse are connected to the mini. I wish I could do this as easily to jump between machines.
Pretty much all the VR ones do this, as you have a spacial representation to work from, from what I've seen. And there have been some recent-ish things like https://gather.town/ that should be capable as well, though I'm not sure if they do. But yeah, Zoom doesn't.
Zuck: We need to collect even more information about our customers like their heart rate, body temperature, skin resistivity, perspiration coefficient, and all ambient sound and light around them. Ideally with a highly-accurate timestamp and fine-grained location so we can correlate their interactions with other customers even better than we can with smartphones.

FB Engineers: Here's an idea...
The cost of a Magic Keyboard cover for an iPad Pro becomes much more tolerable if it can serve as the main input for multiple devices.

Makes an iPad/Mac Mini combo pretty compelling.
I hope they appealed that ruling. Elected or appointed judge?
I used to be against the French protectionism of its language, or the fact that research papers in China was written in Chinese. 'Why not just all speak English?', I thought back then. But then I learned French. More importantly I learned that when you speak another language, at a certain level (close to fluent), you realise that language is not only about communication.
Language is also about thinking. You realise that thinking in another language actually is totally different. It gives you different perspectives, different ways to understand things and, I would argue, different thoughts altogether.

From that point on, I am now of the opinion that we need to protect, and use, more languages, not fewer. Not because of their cultural and historical value but because of their possibility to open up for completely seperate ways of thinking.
We aren't going to see major advancements like that. Lithium cells are pretty mature technology at this point. What you're going to see is tweaked chemistries and designs (c.f. the Tesla 4680 cell everyone likes to talk about) that make batteries a little cheaper or a little lighter here and there, but with some tradeoffs.

That said: Lithium cells are already good enough and cheap enough for ground transportation to be practical. And that is in some sense the "last frontier". Static applications are already as well served as they ever will be, and no, battery powered aviation just isn't going to be practical ever (carbon nerds need to look at synfuels there).

We had the amazing revolution in battery technology already, basically. And it enabled your EV and your phone. We won the game about 15 years ago.
Joking aside, it's a shame Esperanto didn't catch on. One of its features is that it's fairly easy to learn, unlike something like Latin.

how I understand it after reading the original article:

in plaintext http world, man-in-the-middle (MitM) can redirect your browser request for www.bank.com to their own evil server which will pretend being www.bank.com.

in https world this wouldn't work since evil server doesn't have a valid TLS certificate for www.bank.com and thus your browser will refuse to talk to it.

However, MitM might redirect your request for www.bank.com to this bank's ftp server ftp.bank.com. If this mail server uses wildcard certificate *.bank.com - then your browser will accept it and start talking HTTP to it.

this article analyzes how various (email and ftp) software reacts when sees a browser talking http to them. If an ftp server saves such request (in plaintext form) to a world-readable file - hacker can read it and we're in trouble.
It cuts both ways - if it wasn’t for FHA and very easy borrowing for first time home buyers, many many more people would still be renting and likely not building at least some wealth/equity.

By constraining the supply of loans, first and foremost you’d be cutting out those who need it most. Unfortunately, that’s how risk markets work - the riskiest (also usually the poorest) get cut first.

The interest rate argument isn’t actually very grounded in fact - in order to save from refinancing, the rates have to have declined from where they were before. If rates stay flat, there is no benefits in refi - whether they stay flat at 5%, 3% or 10%, as long as the rates stay flat. However, borrowing at a lower rate is better because you end up putting more into the equity. If you borrow at zero percent, everything you pay in goes to reduce the principle and so long as the property doesn’t decline, you are building wealth.

This is why arguing to reduce the loan supply to me is very counterproductive. What we need is better education and fewer predatory lending practices. Things like payday loans, etc, are currently predatory. Those could be reformed to serve the purpose they were originally intended for (emergency money), but until that happens, things like that create the actual problem, not the loan supply itself.
I’m the opposite. I prefer to separate domains of activities and often use separate tools for that.

My work notes are in OneNote. My personal notes are in Apple Notes. Long form writing is in Scrivener.

This helps me separate mind space as well as reduces the overhead of managing files and data within a domain.
DHS to block companies associated with human smuggling from obtaining insurance
FedNow is a digital cash system. It's not there yet, and it's still not international. As for Western Union et al, it's a bit like claiming the US has a digital cash system because Venmo exists -- it's someone else taking on the risk the funds won't settle in order to provide a better user experience. So the US is approaching a digital cash system, but it's not there.

If you download and run the program it will launch the web browser to https://playit.gg/manage. On that page you should be able to add a Custom TCP tunnel. I don't quite follow the features you're looking for but I think the custom TCP tunnel should cover a good bit.

As for banning IPs, public IPs are mapped to local IPs (for example 127.3.5.6) so in game banning should work. I have thought about creating a premium tier that lets you add firewall rules to the edge (our tunnel servers) so the traffic you filter never gets tunneled to you.
Investment and savings must always be in balance. If the savings rate of one person exceed the total investment rate then another person must save less than the investment rate. The non zero sum answer is to increase the investment rate and put the money to good use by employing people. The article is about how that is not happening.

i.e. companies have stopped borrowing money and instead fund themselves through issuing stock but strangely enough they do not sell the stock when they need it, they keep large portions in their own bank accounts. If companies and the rich are not borrowing, then either consumers or the government must borrow the money. Consumers take on mortgages to buy increasingly expensive houses but as 2008 has shown an overpriced house is a poor investment that drains productivity from the economy.

Please refrain from bashing the journalist. He is not making up his own economics, he's stating the obvious.
Maybe you’re thinking of borrowers? Lenders are the ones who give the loans and make money from interest.
Not only I have used it many times, I've even built a lightning network wallet (link in my profile).

This is a straw man. The super-rich don't have income taxes because they have little to no income. Bill Gates didn't become a billionaire by being paid hundreds of millions of dollars each year - he became a billionaire by building a company that is worth hundreds of billions of dollars and owning a large chunk of it. You have to sell that chunk in order to have income. He probably never has to sell a chunk again in his life.
Types of Sampling Methods
Well, it sounds like to me, that TE just did the hardware design, and PANIC is really the one making the decisions for the software/games side.

That being said, Teenage Engineering is one of those brands that has massively disappointed me over time. When the OP-1 came out it was a truly innovative, beautiful, and robust synthesizer... Despite that, everything they make now just seems over-hyped, over-priced, and homogeneous.

I mean their most recent "innovations" are, no-joke: a $600 portable AM/FM + BT radio, whose only real feature is a massive buffer so you can rewind or fast forward in real-time, and a robot that dances to music.

They're great at predictable, minimal design, there is no doubt there, but that's about it.
One is designed to be easy to learn, to be regular and logical and use roots familiar to European ears, the other is designed to sound alien.

I find this article incredibly frustrating because it basically proves my feeling that it is nearly impossible to have an opinion on this issue without taking a political side.

I agree with a substantial part of this article, but just like I roll my eyes when I read articles in favor of the lab leak hypothesis that are clearly trying hoist blame onto "liberals" for ignoring this last spring/summer, I had to roll my eyes when I read this: "If true, it would mean the 600,000 Americans who have died, mostly on Trump’s and the GOP’s watch, were victims of actions taken by a handful of researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology."

I have PLENTY of problems with how Trump and the GOP handled Covid, but trying to blame them for the deaths at this point is just plain stupid. I haven't seen any reasonable hypotheses how this could have been prevented, furthermore there are many many other states that have fared much worse, and hardly any that have similar demographics that have fared better that are not islands.

Honestly, even on HN which I find the place where flamewars are tapped down better than any other forum on the Internet, I find it impossible to have a discussion about this without the underlying motivation of "I'm trying to blame the other side" shining through.

Where is the "all the gestures" instruction manual from Apple?

They would be in the users' wastebaskets with all the other paper shipped with the product.

There were interactive onboarding tutorials during install or upgrade, but pretty much everyone clicked spastically at them until they went away without reading them.

No one reads manuals. I have shipped a (admittedly low volume) game where I have never detected a user reading the help pages I slaved over. The prominent help icon never gets touched. I made an introductory tutorial which animatedly draws prettily curved highlighter arrows and circles on the screen to explain the important user interface elements… click click click… the new users do everything they can to close it and get it off the screen without reading it.

Search: "ipad gestures site:apple.com"

Search: "macos gestures site:apple.com"

The top hits for both of your questions, as translated into google-ese, are the documents you want, with the exception of iPad multitasking, but that's a deliberate decision by Apple. Should be resolved in iOS 15 when they finally expect regular people to maybe use multitasking.
The article is not about scrum. This particular thread of discussion is about scrum, because that's what the comment that started it was about, and also your comment that I replied to.

I was merely framing the discussion in terms of what is written in the article, to illustrate what the problem with scrum (or capital-A agile in general) is.

You are now replying to my specific example, instead of my argument about the problems with scrum.
I guess my point is that you can only give the word "inclusive" any meaning if you accept that the authors of the RFC intend the validity times to be interpreted as intervals rather than instant, however unusual that is.

That's good usability-wise, but it still has the problem of central banks being able to create money (diluting your wealth for their benefit) and also being able to cancel you, or someone you want to pay, out of the system. It's a horribly powerful way to control people.
Well, Kelly is infinite horizon, so any derivation is going to depend on the exact payouts. If it is not infinite horizon, you can do dynamic programming to figure it out but you will have to be careful with myopic reasoning (betting it all in the last stage). In practice, just plug your changing payoff into the formula. The rationale being every bet is growth optimal in the long run even if you only bet it once.

No, all you need to do is fix the tax brackets, so that when someone liquidates five billion dollars worth of capital gains income, they are paying a higher effective rate than someone making 1/10000th that in regular income (not currently the case).

The solution is so trivial it hurts, but it makes it clear that no politician or "expert cabinet member" wants to solve the problem except where it might give them new political power, e.g. to track all private property to implement a wealth tax.

For example, some new federal income brackets might be 50% over 3 million, 55% over 15 million, 60% over 60 million, 65% over 250 million, 70% over 1 billion, 75% over 5 billion (at 2021 USD values). Maybe a 5% discount for long term capital gains instead of the separate mega-discounted bracket we have now. If the aforementioned were implemented 30 years ago, we wouldn't be having so many wealth inequality discussions.

The priciest neighborhood ($2MM+) in my city is low density and full of mansions for sports stars and execs for of all the local F500 companies. But the next tier in price ($1MM-$2MM) is actually pretty high density housing abutting downtown.

Once you get into the $500-$1MM range density falls again, as these are the McMansions in suburbia. Density keeps dropping as price goes down until you get into the slums territory, which are basically the pockets of urban blight that haven't been redeveloped yet.

In the US 30 year fixed rate mortgages are common (standard?). Rates have also bumped around record low territory for years.

I know people who refied into 15 year fixed, but the rates have typically been so close I didn't see the point. Just pay more each month on your own and avoid the costs of the refi.
Free will.

It isn't simple introspection. It is a rigorous scientific experiment, Descartes' evil demon thought experiment.

Additionally, you can only prove your own consciousness exists, not consciousness in general. But that's OK, classic materialism will suffice to determine that the world probably isn't an illusion and other beings like you probably experience similar phenomena.

Meditation is not a rigorous experiment, if someone can formulate a reproducible experiment like Descartes' thought experiments that produces this phenomenon then there's something. Further, there's no requirement that a voice be a singular one for the self or consciousness to exist. We can deduce that they exist, how they work or what exactly they are is not known.
While preventing abuse of migrants and others is very important, note a key point:

No trial, no conviction, just a amssive penalty.
Hoarding Bitcoin is deflationary. "Hoarding" USD in a bank account can be deflationary if there is not enough demand for loans or if the borrowed money never reaches the real economy.
It's not practical when the outcome is distributed in a very weird and unknown way and each bet isn't really iid.

Moreover you can find the same result with a simple grid search over bet sizes, obviating the need to estimate any parameters of the outcome distribution.

It would be more useful in professional gambling where outcome distributions are more knowable.

Do you believe that this trade imbalance makes it likely that a significant part of the US$500M Bezos reportedly spent on the boat will return to the US?

The trade numbers mean that the Netherlands spent about 4.5% of its GDP (US$1T) in trade with the US. That would imply that if the boat fits into those patterns, about 22M of the 500M cost might come back to the USA.

One possibility is that despite not having the boatyards in the US that could build such a vessel, the majority or even just a substantial fraction of the components that are used for the boat originate in the USA, and that in reality significantly more of the US$500m will flow back to the USA.

I don't know enough about the construction of contemporary mega-yachts to know if that's likely or not.

Why? Are you saying that countries should start adopting a crypto with a market cap of barely 1B$, that's been around for a less amount of time, that's significantly less battle tested and that never recovered to it's all time high value?

Do you think that the only thing that matters for crypto is speed and fees? You don't think trust/security/decentralization have any value?

Bitcoin chooses trust and security above everything else, as it should. Then you can have layers on top where you transact at the speed of network packets.
