Thanks, much appreciated! I'm glad you find it somewhat useful :)

Honestly, it was super simple to put together; I pull data from https://stocknewsapi.com, which I've found to be very high quality and reliable (I'm using their sentiment classifications as well, so not exactly sure what model is behind that).

The project isn't currently open source, but I'm definitely considering it. I built it with Elixir + Phoenix, with a couple main objectives:

- Familiarize myself with Tailwind
- Set up a really smooth developer experience
- Learn about deploying Elixir + Phoneix apps
- Build something of some use!

I'd love to see your project as well – happy to discuss more!
There's a lot of evidence monarchy, dictatorship, socialism , mercantilism, and fuedalism also aren't great at long-term thinking.

What's your solution? Be China during it's golden age of credit expansion? Why not be the US during it's golden age of credit expansion?

I don't think there's a governing/economic silver-bullet.
So if I turn the knob on my a/v receiver all the way up, my speakers won't blow out? I'm obviously not going to try it, but my understanding is that they would get damaged. To prevent this, I set a maximum volume on the receiver's settings to the loudest I'm practically interested in, given the size of the room and such. But that probably means I'm capping my volume a good bit below the guaranteed safe level, which only the speaker manufacturer is really in a position to know.
This doesn't really contradict the idea I expressed above. If you are the only to exist then everything else you observe also is you so you can't point to anything specific and say this is me.
I think in a school setting, you can't make allowances for the 1 kid who is stopping the rest from learning, so behaviour that might be tolerated by parents or in a 1;1 situation gets shut down. Just hypothesising, no direct experience.
I mean, the US Government just suggested a new taxation at the G7 to prevent this. The EU and US (and UK) are going to fix the issue. But it will probably take a few years.

I actually did that for my parents and in-laws and it went as you said. But there’s no alternative to Windows for a lot of professionals and gamers and that’s an issue. There’s no need for Windows to be better because they own that segment. Also, as much as Windows Desktop dominance sucks, Linux just isn’t there yet and I don’t want to see the walled garden dystopia that a majority of Mac desktops would bring us.
Alternatively we could amend jaywalking to only be an offense if the act directly impedes drivers. That is, always legal to cross when safe. It more reflects the spirit of the law, eliminates bad (cop) behavior, and still allows fining bad pedestrian behavior. It’s how cars are regulated after all — you can turn through a cross walk with it’s walk sign on as long as there’s no pedestrians. So maybe right if way yielding lawns would work equally well for pedestrians and cars.
Why is a single parent family alone a bad thing? I could see a case where a single caring parent could be much better than 2 negligent or abusive ones.
> This reads like a 'just so' story to me.

It was meant to. My intent was to stimulate thought, not to conclusively prove. There’s great disagreement among researchers studying fertility, income, life expectancy, and such. These are merely my conclusions, which differ from those of many others.

> Do people in America with one or two children really not have more because they think this is maximizing the expected number of grandchildren?

Yes, but my argument is that this is more instinctive than it is conscious thought. For example, women are increasingly having their first child after 30 because they know it is possible to do so successfully and it gives them more time to establish a career and find the best mate. This increases expected resources available per child and expected genetic fitness. In essence, they are instinctively trying to maximize their probability of having children that successfully reproduce, but it tends to lead to fewer children than optimal because our instinct is poorly calibrated to today’s environment.

> I think in American even the working poor commonly have children (often more than the wealthy).

Correct. They also have shorter life expectancy than the wealthy.
A global would also reduce the incentive. If it's the same all over, might as well stay home.

That's probably a good approach for random news sites and such, much less so when your internet banking and even online shopping sites require JS on.
Conclusions:

"Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers
progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally."
> We (the developers) finally figured out it was because it gave the business people work to do that was more interesting than what they were really supposed to be doing.

Did you get them to confirm this hypothesis? Or did you just figure it out by deduction and projection?

This is an honest question. I work on both sides - dev and design, and so am privy of the driving forces behind the projects.

Sometimes they could include personal agendas but are almost never limited to those.

And I have had cases where I had to ask questions in confidence to uncover the political forces.

Have you had the opportunity to ask such questions and confirm your suspicions?
One could argue that there could be a permanent structure (safety net) in place that sufficiently handles incidents, such as temporary mass unemployment, without the need to hastily scramble together and spin up stimulus programs like PPP and direct checks to everyone.
Honestly that doesn't seem _that_ bad to me. It's a reasonable way of saying "hey, you're going off the happy path for this product and doing so at your own risk". This is an interesting gray area of consumer/hacker technology where bad software can destroy your hardware; there's probably difficulties in supporting warranty related breaks. Is the alternative to just replace parts every time someone bricks their hardware regardless of any/all modifications they've made? Maybe that's what they should do, but I can appreciate that that's a pretty tall ask, especially when the industry is still in it's infancy.
power concentration borne of misplaced and distracted concern is the primary social challenge of our time, as well as throughout history. power distorts institutions of all sorts, redirecting resources toward self-serving aims and away from the collective good. it subverts governments, businesses, collectives, religions, tribes, and everything else. it requires constant vigilance and resistance--it's the one thing we're never safe from. yet, we allow the powerful to manufacture boogeymen like terrorists, drugs, wmd's, pedophiles, mass shootings, and pandemics as safety theater misdirections distracting us from this very central threat to our personal and collective freedoms.

we need human-scale and human-accountable institutions, not conglomerates amassing more and more power against the populace. when considered more deeply, no human endeavor really requires extra-human concentration and centralized control, no matter how much justification is put forth. there's no insurmountable reason a mars mission or pandemic response, for instance, can't be loosely coordinated among small and medium sized organizations, rather than a single, or a few, large institutions.

to get those kinds of human-scale and responsive institutions, we each have to actively work to keep organizations in check, each in our own little way. it's a literal sisyphean task, but one that we can't collectively shirk without dire consequences, as we've seen throughout history. it's an integral if inconvenient part of the human condition.
Alternatively we should ban public schools and force parents to send them to a private school, which if the money that would otherwise have gone to the public school gets sent along with them isn't very expensive (here in Denmark something like 80-90% of the money follows the student).

Then we would have a direct way for parents to improve the schools their kids attend.
Just in case you didn't visit the discussion above and only track responses to your comments: I did.
No, just people who don't like inconvenient facts.

TBH it's more of US interest to try to get China into hitting Taiwan instead of China's interest.
I once did some not very serious google-based statistics to look at the number of immigrants vs the number of restaurants of that type. I used Italy, where I lived at the time, because it was easy to get the immigration stats and because most immigration is pretty recent. There are, for instance, a lot of Filipinos living and working in Italy, but not many restaurants. There are a ton of "Japanese" restaurants, but not very many immigrants.

> The companies that make the exports pay taxes.

Except this thread is about doing away with those taxes because somehow "exports" make up for it.

> Their employees pay taxes.

Yes, they do. And this person suggests cutting corporate taxes by 5% for every 25% of the the employees located in the US. Do those additional employee dollars pay for the corporate tax cut?
What about Dan Schroeder?
Associated with Thailand, never been to Thailand, didn't travel for 2 years.
A zero corporate tax rate would highly disincentivise corporate reinvesting into things like capex for expansion or R&D. Right now if they don't plow money back into such things then they would have to book it as profit and pay taxes on it. Zero tax rates would remove that incentive. If there were no taxes on them at all then it would just sit there as people at the top find even more creative ways to give it to themselves while still avoiding a lot of personal taxes.

There's also the fact that corporations are only made possible in the first places because of the infrastructure and services provided by the government, and those must be paid for. If we moved to a model where companies were responsible to building and maintaining the proportion. Of infrastructure resources they used then indirect funding of such things via taxes would be required as much.
Your comment doesn't reply to anything in mine. I haven't written anything about hamburger menus, things looking lean, chrome or gestures.

The only thing my comment was about is the practice of imagining non-computer-expert people to be mindless zombies who don't know basic stuff. Cmd+C, Cmd+V, and Cmd+R are one of the most popular shortcuts in computers, known by people who aren't computer experts. Just because something is done with the keyboard, doesn't mean it's some l33t knowledge exclusive to "power users". But computer professionals often talk about "casual users" as stupid, probably to feel better about themselves, because they know all that oh-so-advanced-hard stuff.

So yes, just like a "copy" button would be a waste of space, when Cmd+C is so widespread, a "refresh" button is similar in that regard.

Apple would be the last company to optimize for power users.
Well, that'd be exhausting, but it didn't take long to find that since he became a celeb-investor in late 2015 (when the movie came out), he's made similar predictions including: a couple weeks after the movie's release (https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2015/12/big-short-genius-say...), in 2017 (https://www.lombardiletter.com/michael-burry-stock-market-cr...), in 2019 (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/04/the-big-shorts-michael-burry...), and now obviously in 2021.

Continually predicting the market is about to crash seems to be his thing.
Man mobile keyboards suck. Any idiot knows the word average doesn't work there (at minimum you'd have to preface it with the word "the"), so why can't my keyboard run an ML model that's not an idiot?

Do you know where I could learn about the unreliability and downsides of what I'm suggesting?

The observation is done by point of view of Swift developers.

The only reason why Swift has reference counting was historical.

Objective-C GC implementation failed, because it was very hard to mix frameworks compiled with and without GC enabled, alongside the usual issues of C memory semantics.

https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Co...

Check "Inapplicable Patterns" section.

So Apple did the right design decision, instead of trying to fix tracing GC in such environment, just like Microsoft does in COM, they looked into Cocoa [retain/release] pattern, automated that, and in a marketing swoop sold that solution as ARC.

Swift as Objective-C replacement, naturally had to build on top of ARC as means to keep compatibility with Objective-C runtime without additional overhead (check RCW/CCW for how .NET GC deals with COM).

Here is a paper about Swift performance,

http://iacoma.cs.uiuc.edu/iacoma-papers/pact18.pdf

> As shown in the figure, performing RC operations takes on average 42% of the execution time in client programs, and 15% in server programs. The average across all programs can be shown to be 32%. The Swift compiler does implement optimization techniques to reduce the number of RC operations similar to those described
in Section 2.2.2. Without them, the overhead would be higher. The RC overhead is lower in server programs than in client programs. This is because server programs spend relatively less time in Swift code and RC operations; they spend relatively more time in runtime functions for networking and I/O written in C++.

It makes technical sense that Swift uses reference counting, as explained above, but it isn't due to performance, it just sells better than explaining it was due to Objective-C inherited C memory model, which besides the memory corruption problems, it doesn't allow for anything better than a conservative garbage collector, with very bad performance.

> Introducing the direct dependency is exactly what you want to avoid

Why? It's a GUI application on Android. Everything that listens to this event bus is a direct dependency configured at build time. Every modern optimization, like ahead of time compilation and code stripping, benefits from direct dependencies. This is why I used the word toxic, and not stupid.

>U.S. government usually only fixes issues in a short term mindset

That's part of the problem - Representatives get elected every 2 years so they have a short term mindset.

But, the government isn't the only player here. U.S. Corporations hold some amount of responsibility for moving production overseas.

Corporations have even a shorter mindset - they need quarterly numbers to look good for Wall Street, so they don't think much past 3 months!
Looking around it seems to me these are failures of government and government policy (i.e. failures of the people - I can't even convince people to stop buying plastic bottles of water) . Capitalism and businesses operate within the context of the environment they're in.

China has lots of environmental problems and they have an autocracy. Maybe the less capitalistic you country is the less environmentally friendly your country is instead. One has to think that to the extent that resources aren't subjected to the tragedy of the commons, capitalists tend to be concerned with not killing the golden goose.

Look around and ask yourself which countries are at least on paper most concerned with the environment and then ask yourself what kind of economies they have.

Look at Europe: Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Belgium, etc... -> all highly concerned with the environment and all highly capitalist countries.
> As long as it's easier to develop on windows, it'll never happen.

It's not though. Windows is a pain in the ass to develop for, and the only thing keeping most developers from writing cross-platform titles is DirectX. Luckily, there's a DirectX-to-Vulkan translation layer that will run 80% of Steam's "legacy" Windows games, as well as any new exclusives. As the industry starts to shift to Vulkan, developers will have much less incentive to ship Windows exclusives.

The final nail in the coffin is probably sandboxing. Linux support for sandboxed applications is next-level, and projects like Flatpak and AppImage have made it possible to ship software that's more stable on Linux than it is on Windows. Valve's probably wants to combine this with their Proton project to create truly "immortal" Linux applications: imagine being able to download a file containing a compressed VM image with Diablo 2 perfectly configured like a Docker container.

> Maybe if there wasn't 100+ distros or whatever and people just focused on getting a couple at the level of XP, we could see a lot wider of adoption.

The only difference between distros is package management, and 99% of them will install Steam, Discord, Spotify, and any of your other "normal" apps the exact same way.
I don't believe that. When you are working with a group of people that you don't know very well, real face-to-face meetings work better. A lot of our communication is non-verbal. You lose that when you are using slack.
The Halo games do this as well under the guise of suit calibrations.

> Of course competent programmers ... And obviously any intelligent CPU architect

Interesting to see the future is so "obvious" to you. You are correct however, that this is not a problem at the present because no architecture uses more then 48-bits of address space in practice. And since this is such a common practice now, there will have to allowances made in the future for when the address space is expanded.
Reminder that Twitter/Facebook banned people for talking about Ivermectin as a Covid treatment. Youtube channels also got banned/demonetized.
You can turn macOS into Windows 3.1 reading a floppy by mounting an SMB share with a ton of small files and running an rclone sync between it and an external drive that has previously completed a sync. The stat() operations make the kernel go crazy. It’s the most appalling thing I’ve seen and has been broken like this since Catalina where it arrived as a massive performance regression.

Is Ivermectin used in Covid treatment protocols?
Different bit of Italy, but have you ever had Puzzone di Moena? Lives up to its name, which, for the non Italian speakers, translates to the "Big stinker from Moena", roughly.
I heard about Ivermectin for the first time this week and was shocked how much it seemed that I had stepped into conspiracy theory land. There seemed to be an overwhelming amount of evidence over the last year that this repurposed drug is effective at treating Covid during a variety of stages (preventative, first positive test, ICU admittance, and even long haul). But since there hadn't been a randomized trial the drug had, not only been dismissed, but heavily censored over social media. I still cannot believe how much the discussion has been silenced in the same way people discuss "covid vaxx causes magnetism". The fact the interview between Bret Weinstein and Pierre Kory was banned from youtube for non-WHO/CDC/NIH approved covid treatments is a tragedy. I truly hope in the coming years the censorship of this topic will be the catalyst for allowing free speech to prevail on social media.
