I think you're tugging a lot more. I don't think that most people can estimate anything beyond "this earnings call makes the price go up or down [a little/lot]". I'm not referencing some missed arbitrage opportunity, just that general stock movements can likely be predicted before earnings calls for well-reported companies.

People with insider trading knowledge don't seem able to accurately predict the exact price, but they know if its good/bad/great news and how wall street reacts to that .

There's been a strong effort to have binary compatibility between compilers. The initial effort was funded by Intel when they launched Itanium and the resulting C++ ABI is used for other processor targets as well. So gcc, clang, and Intel's proprietary compiler are binary compatible modulo bugs.

But modules are very new and I doubt if enough corner cases are nailed down yet.
Literally there are two characters required to create a csv. Anything that replaces it will necessarily be more complex. So let’s keep csv and create something better at the same time.

I don't think it's much worse than CSV, with it's inflexible structure, not allowing for any formatting to be inserted. As for weird schemas, that really is an implementation specific issue. This example was sketched up in minutes and already reads better than most spreadsheets I've seen over the years!

<transaction date="2021-08-19" description="Hello, world!">
<debit commodity="USD">100</debit>

Whinging a bit

There are plenty of formats available. CSV is useful. Not perfect.
can you please elaborate? this is quite the accusation
I can - and do - read a CSV by opening it in Notepad++ to view basic data. This isn't possible with a SQLite file.
Good luck getting this rolled out in even a fraction of the emergency vehicles on the roads.

There are literally tense of thousands of these emergency departments and even more when you consider other vehicles which may be stopped roadside.

Exposure to the whole virus also produces a bunch of immune disregulating components which help make this virus particularly nasty.

People get vaccinated to protect themselves and others around them - boosters will increase that protection. Proof of vaccination is about excluding those who haven't been vaccinated - it is they who are on the train, though they can get off it anytime they choose.
The problem is there are some reasonable features that cannot be implemented with the current ports system that _should_ fit into the expected design. Specifically, I feel you should be able to replicate the `Http` module using ports or some other available system. However, you cannot properly dispatch a task and then tie together the result with a curried `Msg`, as you might expect or hope [unless you store a complex state object in your model]. These types of issues are the frustrations that, I believe, cause some discontent in the community. I feel more people understand why you should not, per se, make random FFI calls in the middle of pure code (e.g. since it would break dead code elimination and require evaluation order guarantees), but other restrictions seem arbitrary.

Your unspecified taxes pay for teachers whose students get straight A's in the tests the teachers set.

What if you paid the teacher through the school principal?

What if the invoice for your school fees were on the bottom of your kid's annual report card?

And you had to pay it, with a bank cheque, in person, to the teacher, on the Tuesday before Christmas, after waiting in the queue with all the other parents.

With your kid and the principal looking on, all minds focussed and incentives painfully exposed?
Exactly. Excretion of a drug unchanged is actually pretty rare. Most drugs get metabolized to something else before excreted.
I had anticipated the overhead of XML being brought up, hence the other suggestions there, which is anything + jsonschema. jsonschema was used for illustrative purposes, it's a lot more powerful than most usecases call for, and it pays forward for that by making the syntax very verbose and longwinded. It'd certainly be an alternative with less overhead, though.

I've not benchmarked XML parsing times in a very long time, I'd be interested in seeing the numbers now.

Tabular data is barely data, honestly, hence my PS, I don't think spreadsheets in general are a very good way to store anything.

And yes, absolutely, overengineering is bound to happen, which is unfortunate, but I'm not sure if it really can be avoided while still keeping many of those upsides (especially the rigorous definitions)
Ah, such memories. MUDs were the first reason I almost flunked out of college. Especially when I started running my own. Gonna read this so much.

I think the word "allegedly" probably indicates SEC did not use the messaging app as the route to uncover this.

If I were a part of SEC, unless there is some regulatory hurdle, I'd use some other information (e.g., some gov documents? linkedin?), and use that to construct a giant watch list for insider trading even before trades are made.
Honestly with the schema thing I'd probably be fine with either/or!

A checksum would be crude and user-hostile, only being able to say "you did it wrong" but not really good at tell you what it means to do it right.

If I understand the concepts correctly then it seems like a shared ontology could potentially solve the problem in a non-hostile way.

Plus, it makes me happy because I feel like types are a real-world problem, so it is always nice if the type system could enforce that real-world-ness and all the messiness that comes along for the ride.

Switching System Revealed in Human Information Processing and Memory
> If Apple really didn’t care about privacy they’d end e2ee and scan on the server side like Google and Microsoft.

It's not black or white. Clearly Apple does care more about privacy than most other tech companies. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be critical of them when they make a mistake.

Also, Apple doesn't use e2ee now. AFAIK it's possible for them to decrypt the contents of your iCloud content, and they will do so and forward your data if legally required to.

> Most people don’t care. I’m giving you solutions and you’re taking about convenience how hard it is. Plugging in your phone is trivial.

I don't see what is so hard for you to understand about this - because of Apple's decision, I gain nothing and lose privacy. I shouldn't have to jump through extra hoops to avoid that, and it's reasonable to dislike Apple's position on this. In order to replicate the same functionality I would have to remember to sync my phone every night, and if I ever forgot and my phone died, I just lost data. Yours is an indefensible position when a MUCH easier solution exists today.

> I assume you’re going to stick with iCloud even despite this “privacy” issue? If not, what are you switching to?

That's a bold assumption. I haven't decided yet, for a couple reasons. One is that it's a pain in the ass to switch providers, so I'm going to wait and see if Apple actually follows through with it. Two is that it's possible that Apple is only implementing this so that they can in fact implement full e2ee and then tell law enforcement to kick rocks when they ask for user data (only allowing them to see the CSAM results before they are uploaded to the cloud). I might be willing to accept that compromise, but it's not clear that that is what their plan is.
The personal photo is unlikely to match a photo in the CSAM database though, or at least that's what is claimed by Apple with no way to verify if it's true or not.
Yeah, all the compilers will have different implementations and ABI and it'd be unrealistic expectation for them to be completely compatible. Instead, IIRC the current approach is to have a compatible format for specific common tasks. There has been some effort in SG15 to ensure consistency/interoperability across module implementations which led to https://wg21.link/P1688R0. This was mainly due to difficulty of scanning dependencies for build systems so there needs to be a standardized format to consume module information. One caveat: this group has been inactive for a while due to the pandemic, unfortunately.
Quaker Oats is one. (Not disputing your point; was just trying to think of any memorable 3D logos, and it came to mind.) They tried to go with a simpler, monochromatic logo and ended up switching back to the 3D drawing.
You've misunderstood the David Lynch quote. He's observing the fact that people have the instinctive ability to rationalize about the reality we observe, in order to maintain a consistent theory of our own existence in it... We can be surprised or shocked at what we witness, but we must somehow integrate it into our mental picture of reality. Often as not, our mental picture isn't particularly accurate... We have to fill in the gaps with our imagination.

Film & literary theory starts from an understanding of this phenomenon. It's the basis of willing suspension of disbelief. We don't have to try to fill in the gaps with our imagination, when we see/hear/read the corpus of a story... Our minds tend to start playing along, automatically, when prompted.

Plenty of people have proved perfectly willing to entertain the idea of getting wiped out by asteroid or plague... But also, plenty of people have proved willing to entertain the idea that we live in a constructed artificial reality, a la "The Matrix".

Our religious beliefs are just as nutty and varied as movie premises, and that's not a coincidence, because religious beliefs basically emerge from the same mental phenomenon as literature.

I mean, it makes no sense that an invisible Sky-Father supernaturally impregnated a Jewish teenage girl, two thousand years ago, and that the resulting child could reverse thermodynamic processes at will... But nearly 1/3 of the world says they believe it like that, more or less.

Good question. Same thing applies if you decide not to sell your company’s stock because you have confidence in the internal roadmap.

However, at most companies, there’s a segment of data that is kept more confidential, and those people with access have more guardrails on their trading. Netflix is an exception in that most of their workforce is “insider” and thus financial data such as what was shared within this indictment is more freely available.
If they are so good at potential, then why haven't they proven it yet? It's an overly simple question, but if there are many potential reasons, accept that you may be wrong about hypothetical potential.
I didn't downvote it, but I can understand why some people might have. Because while it's superficially true, it's disingenuous in practice. All security is, at its core, a network of trust between you and other entities. Open source isn't secure because it's open, it's secure because you trust Canonical, you trust Linus Torvalds, you trust GNU, etc. And those people trust other people—hence the "network" of trust.

Saying that you can inspect the source code is true in theory. But unless you've done the full audit yourself, you're personally as blind as you are with closed source code. You're choosing to trust whichever security researchers deeply understand the security implications of all the gobbledegook in all the USB drivers, and you're trusting that Canonical is shipping you the same version that security researchers have validated. For 99.9% of users, it all comes down to blind trust.

As Linus himself once said: "If you have ever done any security work and it didn't involve the concept of a network of trust, it was not a security work. It was masturbation."

Well, prior to CAT they had OATS, which has been around for a very long time, but was only "top level" messages (not a deep trace into the stack).

If you combine crosses with OATS you can still get some of the data you are looking for, just not as cleanly as with CAT.
I think the vast majority of metaphors are pointless and end up in most of the discussion being about how the metaphor doesn't make sense or how the magnitude doesn't make sense. They are very frequently used on topics which are quite simple to understand and need no metaphor at all.

The place where I find they make most sense is explaining certain incentive structures. Take for example the Prisoner's Dilemma, you could use this as a metaphor to explain a multitude of situations where people or companies are acting in a way that seems illogical from your perspective but when you simplify it down you can see how each actor has particular incentives.

For anyone who had trouble understanding the plot of The Big Sleep, I would really like to hear what the difficult points were for you.

Marconi developed a working telegraph first. On his own (well, with a couple collaborators). He strung up lines between rooms in the Capitol and demonstrated how it worked. Only then did Congress allocate funds to build a line between Washington and Baltimore. The line was built, and worked, but Congress showed no further interest, and there was no customer interest, either.

What worked was when Morse interested Amos Kendall, who helped set up the Magnetic Telegraph Company in 1845 with private funding. They set up a line between New York and Philadelphia, Boston, Buffalo, and on to the Mississippi.

This was profitable on its first day, and there was no stopping it after that.

Maybe someone else can chime in, but two questions:

* How do you know if the base silicon is N-doped or P-doped? (does it matter?)

* Why are the layouts of NPN and PNP so different? I’ve seen many die photos and you can (usually) easily tell which transistor is which.

* Lastly, are there any guides on learning how to decipher a die shot into a “schematic”? How do I know which colors mean what? (they vary between IC)

(if it’s not obvious, I’m still learning about this stuff)

The way you explain it, looks like if Slack acquired Screenhero in a whim, "just in case we need it", and afterwards they realized that integrating and maintaining foreign code is a hard to do. Like, I could have told them that piece of wisdom for free.

For a system like ES there is encryption in transit and encryption at rest.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticsearch-service/latest/dev... amazon elastic search gives you the option of encrypting the data at rest (meaning it is encrypted by amazon ES when stored persistently) - they use KMS for key management, so it should have a per record symmetric key that is encrypted by master symmetric key. It's notable that the amazon fork has added this functionality, this does not seem to be part of elastic search proper (please correct me if I am wrong)

Elastic search proper is only talking about encryption in transit https://www.elastic.co/what-is/elastic-stack-security?ultron... Here they say that they don't have encryption at rest https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-enterprise/current/ece...

Now you can possibly encrypt the records at the application level, but that makes them unsearchable; however the ability to search the stuff is arguably the point of having it in elasticserarch.

Is it my fault that I was born in an African poor country?
I want to share with you my story today, since my childhood I went through very difficult living conditions, and you know very well the low standard of living in African countries.
Back in 1999 we had a massive storm in France. It put large parts of the country in a blackout in the middle of winter because all the electricity infrastructure was above ground. Out neighbours in Germany, who buried everything, were fine. We had water, as it was already underground. Nowadays everything is systematically buried.

I'll take the odd risk of contamination and excavator-induced failure over fragile and inconsistent infrastructure every day.
Sure, they could probably push it through into any iOS, but all currently available documents claim it’s a iOS 15 feature and presumably there will be lot’s of new legalese like specifically for those new features.
That is super interesting. I will say the package manager (pkgsrc) seems to be very portable as well. It’s default on netbsd, smartos/illumos, and minix, but also available for macOS, Linux, and other operating systems. I use it routinely on smartos and it’s a breeze.
I'm surprised they got to you that quickly. Having worked in finance most of my career, some of which involved fielding SEC inquiries, my impression is they are way behind enforcement. Although, to be fair, usually the inquiries I was fielding were more to do with spoofing and manipulation, not insider trading.

The quote from Lynch makes it sound as though the obvious way to get people to accept an implausible story didn't occur to him.

Simply have some small print at the beginning that says "based on a true story". As I recall, that's what was done with the movie Fargo.

"Important point: just because it has happened in real life does not make it believable in a story. If a reader says she didn’t believe such a thing would happen, it is no defence for you to say, "Oh, but that did happen! In 1982 I was walking along..."
