Don't get hung up on the "Clubhouse" part of the headline. This is a good, albeit somewhat sparse, article about building an Android app on a rushed timeframe.

It's amazing to see how quickly a production-grade app can be produced by a team that arrives with the knowledge and experience for connecting the right frameworks and apps together. However, my experience matches the author's in that the hardest work often isn't the technical part:

> And like most engineering projects, the hardest part isn’t necessarily in the technical work! What I found most challenging was context switching into the many different hats I’ve needed to wear: from interviewing and onboarding other engineers to grow the team — talk about building the rocket ship while flying it — to communicating progress and blockers as we went along, and to adjusting to getting to know my new coworkers in a remote world.

It's relatively easy for developers to sit down and write greenfield apps in isolation. It's much harder to sit down and integrate with an existing platform and launch directly into a torrent of users with high expectations, all while navigating the requirements of a rapidly growing business.

As for timing: I'm sure the Clubhouse founders would have preferred to have an Android app ready to go during their initial popularity spike, but I don't think the lack of Android app is what caused their popularity to decline over time. They obviously made the right choice by launching what they could (an iOS app) as quickly as possible to seize the moment. Even though the popularity has declined, they now have a large war chest to figure out where to go next.
I'm no expert, but I think the missing bit is that the money 'created' is still backed by some asset, whether it's a coffee machine, a building, or a promise of future repayment (as with loans). I think that might be assumed for the audience of the blog, but it's not an obvious thing for us non-experts.

Compare with a loan. When loaning, the bank has a liability (balance in the receiver's account). That's the created money. It's balanced by the promise of payment later, plus interest.

It's not really that different to suggest that to buy a coffee machine, they're creating money as a liability (money in the coffee company's account) backed by the value of the coffee machine as a an asset.

So yes, something does change on the sheets[1] - JP now has another liability, and another asset. The limiting factor is that banks are required to have more assets than liabilities (capital) by proportion, because capital is what really gets used to pay for things like account withdrawals. The proportion JP actually has reduces as each purchase is made, which is why JP can't hold an unlimited number of coffee machines/buildings.[2]

[1] The article does actually mention this, buried in a sentence about a full analysis of JP's balance sheets.

[2] Without that requirement, if the accounts were all at JP, it could buy as many coffee machines/buildings as it wanted, but would collapse if/when the money created was withdrawn. Also see 2008.
Yeah. It's these low probability events that scare people away from fission. Fossil fuel pollution kills millions of people per year. Like more than 5 million. How many has nuclear power killed in 60 years? Probably less than 100,000 as a conservative estimate. Events like Chernobyl and Fukushima are sensational and radiation is a sexy topic. People dieing of lung cancer from air carcinogens produced by coal burning is not.
What you are describing is SV. SV doesn't have to be the tech industry and it isn't.
> if it could be rendered via a 2D SDF?

I don’t think so. For one, computing SDF is a computationally hard problem.

Another thing, SDF will result in round joins, look at these pictures for available options: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/d2d1/ne-d... That particular spec is for MS Direct2D, but the rest of them offer the same features. Vector graphic formats are old and very stable. Similar story with line caps, SDF will get you round caps but sometimes you need different ones: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/d2d1/ne-d...

> The trick is to not use slow hashmaps

Every JavaScript object has such a slow hashmap, for the properties of that object.

> and then your code is near the speed of C++

JavaScript can only approach the speed of C++ for I/O bound things. For crunching numbers on CPU, the difference is rather large. Here’s some benchmark across many programming languages: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/ The average difference between C++ and JavaScript is 4x, for some problems it’s almost an order of magnitude.

Two reasons.

1. It’s hard to produce fast code from dynamically typed languages. CPU instructions are typed, different data types need different instructions.

2. C++ compilers work offline. In release builds, C++ optimizer can spend more time optimizing code. JavaScript JIT simply doesn’t have time to do these optimizations.
People keep saying that, but the evidence seems to be largely the opposite: the most viral shares on twitter and Facebook are actually right leaning. Yes more right firebrands have been kicked off, but that’s after they essentially are sharing things that have to do with violence.

If you try to say revolution is a political viewpoint, I guess you could make that point, but it seems entirely reasonable that asking for select people to be killed is crossing a meaningful line. Especially in a democracy.
Houseparty shut down by Epic, 2 years after acquisition
Is the federal government going to provide employers with the same legal immunity granted to pharmaceutical vendors via the PREP act?

Does this mandate incorporate the Sept 2021 CDC definition of vaccine, https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/coronavirus/article25...

> Before the change, the definition for “vaccination” read, “the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.” Now, the word “immunity” has been switched to “protection.” The term “vaccine” also got a makeover. The CDC’s definition changed from “a product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease” to the current “a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.”

I'll just answer with another Satoshi quote:

"If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry."
> I'm the odd-man out to err on the side of "not-fear".

I'm not sure what this means. So you got the vaccine then because you're not afraid of it, right? Or you didn't get the vaccine because you're not afraid of COVID-19?

I am also not afraid really of COVID-19 but I got the vax because I'm also not afraid of that. Mostly I'm afraid I'd get it and then pass it to others where that could have been avoided by me just not being lazy for a second. I don't feel like an odd-man though.

Whose voice is getting quashed in the US? Everyone has a Facebook, Twitter, email, phones, a magazine, protests, their own news channels, subReddits.

What group doesn't have all those things? Whose voice is being quashed - exactly? Even straight up Nazis have websites, newsletters, gatherings, organized protest marches and Facebook pages. The fucking Taliban is on Twitter.

So...who is being quashed because of their beliefs, exactly?
Quotas are fine, as long as they are reasonable, and workers don't need to skip food and bathroom breaks in order to make them.

The problem seems to be that Amazon has ahead of time decided the level of "productivity" they want, as well as the amount of money they want to spend on labor, instead of actually measuring bad/average/good productivity on its own, and then setting quotas (and expectations of labor cost) based on that.
I like to think of the halting problem as similar to the inability to predict the future. In order to predict the future you'd need a model of the whole universe, including the model. Once you think of it like that you realize that you can't beat halting in the classical universe.
Or editing wikipedia, and arguing on talk pages.
No. Seat belt laws are put in place by car insurance industries. The states that do not have them have the insurance industry lean heavily on the legislature on how much money it will save each user. Then the commercials are run about how you do not want to see a person launched from their car and impaled on the power pole.

The populace is increasingly being treated as children and pretend adults in leadership. We will force you to wear a seat belt or else. Force you to take a vaccine, circumstances be damned. The ACLU prior to their destruction pre power grab warned us all about what is about to happen… more things will be forced upon us “for our own good.” We are about to have a purge of the government and never has a purge of a government gone well.
The manager who actually believes it, and lives it, will eventually be believed. The managers who parrot it will be ignored.
Most groups of people are susceptible to misinformation. I also wouldn't be surprised if there's a bias among nurses, who know enough to be in the medical field, but use that confidence to overestimate their ability to make medical decisions like getting the Covid vaccine.

96% of doctors have gotten the vaccine. Top medical researchers in the immunology recommend the vaccine. etc. etc. These people are less (but not completely) susceptible to misinformation because they are truly able to interpret research and findings.

We should be following doctors and immunology medical researchers. Not nurses.

(This isn't meant to be an inherent slight on nurses, by the way. I think it's just human nature.)
History always provides context. In the late 1700s, the "printing press" gave new freedoms to publishers never before seen in all of history. How did our lawmakers react?

Yes, they passed the 1st Amendment, protecting the right to free press. But just a few years later, they also passed...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_and_Sedition_Acts

> [The Sedition Act] criminalized making 'false statements' critical of the federal government

And an example of prosecution of people through the Sedition Act is Mr. David Brown. Here's his story:

> In November 1798, David Brown led a group in Dedham, Massachusetts, including Benjamin Fairbanks, in setting up a liberty pole with the words, "No Stamp Act, No Sedition Act, No Alien Bills, No Land Tax, downfall to the Tyrants of America; peace and retirement to the President; Long Live the Vice President."[17][19][20] Brown was arrested in Andover, Massachusetts, but because he could not afford the $4,000 bail, he was taken to Salem for trial.[19] Brown was tried in June 1799.[17] Brown pleaded guilty, but Justice Samuel Chase asked him to name others who had assisted him.[17] Brown refused, was fined $480 (equivalent to $7,300 in 2020),[19][21] and sentenced to eighteen months in prison, the most severe sentence imposed under the Sedition Act.[17][19]

Our 2rd President said at the time:

> “There has been more new error propagated by the press in the last ten years than in an hundred years before 1798”

EDIT: It should be noted that Ben Franklin himself engaged in the creation of literal fake news, as a propaganda / negotiation tactic against the English Monarchy. Ben Franklin created a false story about Native Americans "Scalping" US Citizens on behalf of orders from the English Crown.

Our founding fathers were no strangers to propaganda, fake-news, and other techniques to rile up populations and/or control the dialog. Indeed, they themselves took advantage of it to successfully launch the Revolution!

Why would employers need additional immunity? Do schools usually need legal immunity when they require vaccines?
Funny.

Certifying to not boycott something is hardly comparable to have something injected into your body.

While with the latter your livlyhood dangles on an administered injection of a substance into your body (and probably regular boosters) any pledge to not do something in private is virtually un-enforcable and thus just lipservice.

This could also be explained due to wealthy people inheriting property in affluent neighborhoods while wealthy families of color are still building their wealth.

To get a proper conclusion here, the study should look at the factors that contributed to the wealth of these families. Assuming housing discrimination is a factor just because of skin color is deceiving.
There is no such thing as "The entire Spartan state". There is (well, was) the city-state of Lacedaemon and the city of Sparta. The two are confused because Lacedaemon is often synechdochically called "Sparta" and the people of the city of Sparta are usually called "Lacedaemones" in ancient sources. But the people in Laconia and Messinia (not just Messinia) were "helots", not "Spartans", not "Lacedeaemones" and not anything else.

So if you want to say that the people who lived in Laconia and Messinia were the slaves of the Spartans, which we call the helots, and that there many more times more helots than there were Spartans, then you're welcome, because that is accurate. But to say that "Sparta was closer to 80% enslaved people" as the OP says, is false.
You're arguing that exceptions and rare occurrences in American slavery are equivalent to the norms in Rome and for some reason trying to make American slavery seem like it really wasn't all that bad.

Your style of responding also makes it seem like you're arguing the point that slavery wasn't all that bad in the US from a very specific view point
The fifth force is already a hypothetical. More precise measurements would make the hypothetical force weaker and weaker.
Thanks for this remark.

It is amusing to see this behavior, considering the comment is a question, to which responses seem to favor answer "no".

The only part of the comment, that is actually a statement about peer review in mathematics being as bad or even worse in terms of assessing correctness, than reviewing large code changes. And nobody argues against that.
This is way more interesting than I had anticipated. Some YouTube comment made the excellent observation that we don't know what kind of reality(es) we are looking at in this trailer:

"Anyone talking about color grading doesn’t realize they don’t know what this world/ Matrix is yet. That green was for THAT Matrix.“

If they really are using the premise of the franchise to keep us guessing about what exactly we are looking at, this might be its best possible continuation. Consider me intrigued for that alone.

However, as the trailer dialed up the schlocky action I was reminded of how right Roger Ebert was about the original:

"It's kind of a letdown when a movie begins by redefining the nature of reality, and ends with a shoot-out."
> In its 2020 fiscal year alone, Microsoft was responsible for the equivalent of 11,164,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide. Multiply that by $600, and Microsoft would face a bill of nearly $6.7 billion for just one year’s worth of pollution.

Microsoft's emissions are a fraction of the rounding error of global emissions. (Rounding error, not measurement error.)

Still, it would only be around $18T to capture all emissions: roughly 20% of global GDP. It's doable.
10mil, yes, but a lot of it probably went into the infra, bandwidth, and marketing (getting famous people and influencers into the rooms)
> They can drop their base wage for all employees to the minimum wage.

1: set of people willing to take a job with decent pay/benefits and then find out over the course of probably months that they are in a current day episode of Black Mirror where the job has been scientifically designed to burn them out.

2: set of people willing to take a job for minimum wage with the "freedom" to hit stretch goals and make their wildest dreams come true!

I claim that set 1 has more people in it.

I offer into evidence the fact that Amazon already chose #1 when choosing #2 would have been vastly more cost effective for them if the sets contained the same number of people.

There were many different facets to the political turmoil including those you mention, but the actual violence was encouraged by minority groups with suspicious ties to the US regime change apparatus. Student leader Chai Ling infamously quipped that "we are hoping for bloodshed" [1] yet abandoned the protests and was whisked out of China and landed in the USA with a full-ride to Princeton. She now runs what appears to be a business cult.

> and no "free speech" laws will protect you from that

You have a right to speak freely without the government stopping you. You have no right to have people listen to you. In fact the same guarantee that you have for speech also enshrines free assembly.

So everyone who disagrees with your bullshit is free to ignore you and convince others to ignore you. They're also free to boot you off or out of their property.

What do you think a model is?

There are phenomena explained by the particle model, and there are phenomena that are not. This is true of all models, and it's a a strong claim that we could eventually land on a "correct" model at all.

To be fair, a "particle" as the term is used in quantum field theory doesn't refer to a billiard ball, it's a perturbation in a "field" and encapsulates behaviour which could be described as wave or particle or neither.

... which is the ridiculous thing. As much as unions do have problems, I think a better fix to all of this would be a law that just said "all warehouse employees must be a member of an independent labor union". Amazon has fought tooth and nail to keep their warehouse workers out of unions.

(I don't love this sort of law, but it'll probably give these workers a better outcome than they have now, and likely a better outcome than the law that we're talking about here.)
Even creepier listening to it with no subtitles and a primary school level understanding of Chinese.

I can think of many professionals who would likely pay good money to have smart glasses.

- Mechanics who can see under the car and identify components and potential issues with those components.
- Logistics handlers who can look at a package and know where it goes next, or people who scan QR and barcode codes all day
- Construction workers who can measure distances, see wind speed, temperature, etc

In other words, there is good use for this tech while avoiding all together any privacy concerns, as you are looking and analysing objects, not people.

Said judge would be overturning 50 years of American corporate law, which gives LLCs extremely wide leeway in determining their bylaws.

Could some two bit local judge try it? Sure, but it would ultimately get taken to the Supreme Court. And given the current composition of SCOTUS it’s very unlikely they’d vote to weaken corporate property rights.

If you’re worried about legally recognized LLC DAOs losing their rights to residential property, than you should also be worried about private equity firms who are buying residential SFHs also having their property appropriated. Seems like a pretty big long shot to me. This is America, property rights are pretty sacrosanct.
I think properly reinforced concrete is an acceptable building structure for earthquake zones.

My real point is that buildings should be designed for the area they are in. So zones that have earthquake, flood, hurricane, fire, etc. risk should be designed against the risk they face. You do see that to some extent, but it's glaringly lacking a lot of places.
