You gave some suggestions yourself. The fed could invest in an independent fund for such a purpose, they could invest elsewhere in the world. This is not a difficult problem and it is already heavily enforced for smaller fish in the financial ecosystem - e.g. traders at financial institutions are highly regulated.

Anything would be better than buying the very assets they are meant to oversee.

You’re defending the indefensible here with sophistry about how hard it is to be honest and avoid double dealing. These fed presidents dealt in the very securities they had inside information on.
> I think this is not true. If it was this way, there would be no way to read data from an API.

Why do you think the only way to read from an API is with a function call? Have you not heard of monads?
The target was a different university, and when the scammers realized their mistake they handed over the encryption keys.

I wouldn't say morals play no role, since someone that is perfectly fine robbing a wealthy institution isn't automatically going to be OK with causing someone's death, but there absolutely is risk management at play since the hunt for someone that stole a few hundred thousand dollars is going to be much lower priority than a hunt for a killer.

No, because swaps are a thing. Ie a bank will buy a stock on your behalf in its name, write a derivative to you for the economics of the price return/loss on the side. This is very common today and has the effect of defeating disclosure requirements.

A week minimum?

This is such a frustrating space.

The bar for understanding this code and toy project code like this (in this space) is in-depth knowledge of either ML or Haskell (or some functional language with proper built-in functions but generally either ML or Haskell†) … this is key; all these type-theoretic "look at what I built" jaunts leverage these languages.

In this case PomPom says: "The only requisite is cabal and GHC" – which is nothing at all like saying that all you need is C and its standard library.

How long would it take you to write your dependently typed language PomPom in C with just its standard library? If the answer to this is far more than a day then I guess that Cabal (I would capitalise Cabal) and GHC are doing some pretty heavy lifting. I don't think this is me being petty. Why is Cabal needed. Because from looking at the code, at least the parser Parsec. Oh. Ok. Why not say Parsec is needed? It would be weird for me to say that a language I wrote only needed Ruby and Bundler/Rubygems … I mean what would that even mean?

Most everybody else writes "The only requisite is cabal and GHC" as I wrote PomPom in the GHC version of Haskell, you need at least version X.Y.Z of GHC and it relies on the following language features (a,b,c,…)‡ and the following external libraries (A,B,C,…).

So you've written a whole language and, get this, there are no comments in the code about the language syntax and the README jumps straight to "For example proving that inserting a element in any position in a list always returns a non-empty list can be encoded like :" I mean … No, here is the syntax of PomPom. Why? I can only conclude that the syntax does not matter. And isn't it an odd and strange language where the syntax is unimportant?

> Sorry but you cannot implement this in a day.

You're absolutely correct you can't. First of all you need a deep understanding off GHC and its ecosystem. Second of all you need a good grasp of type theory. Then you'd have to figure out the syntax off PomPom, then you'd have to reimplement all the important parsing and type checking bits.

Now say that you wanted to use the esoteric C or one of its super esoteric descendents (C#, Java, C++, Kotlin, Swift, etc.) or you wanted to use something exotic like Rust or Go or even one of those dynamic languages that nobody uses (Javascript, Python, Ruby, etc.) because you didn't feel like learning GHC and its ecosystem. What then?

What I'm trying to get at is that I would respond to the claims in this space that you can build language CoolTypes in X days with a roll of the eyes, or more charitably a raised eyebrow (would respond witth something going on round the ocular area is what I'm getting at).

† Not to mention Coq, or Idris, or LEAN, Agda, or god knows what else

‡ We all know that it's never just GHC, it's always at least version X.Y.Z of GHC with experimental(?) language features a and b and so on enabled.
A reboot is often required to integrate the session changes.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire

Your session environment might also need to be aware of how to interact with PipeWire, which by default is via pulsaudio compatibility interfaces.

Required (practically, probably pulled in with just pipewire):

pipewire pipewire-media-session pipewire-pulse

Recommended:

pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack lib32-pipewire lib32-pipewire-jack

You might also need to reconfigure your audio settings, but that is unfortunately desktop session specific. (E.G. KDE has it in one place, gnome desktops another, etc)
"...where Concorde failed?"

Hold on, when did Concorde "fail"? Concorde was profitable: https://simpleflying.com/did-british-airways-make-a-profit-f...

----

The reasons for Concorde's discontinuation are legion - I think even if it weren't for the 2000 Air France crash it would have been discontinued simply due to the age of the fleet, what other airlines are still running 50+ year-old airframes today? Let alone those with very inefficient engines by today's standards.
Sure. But to circle back to the current discussion: is that more important than clean water or human rights abuses?

It’s not that Facebook can’t do bad things, it’s just that there are reasons why you might be more worried about the government doing bad things and therefore talk about it more (like in the article).
Online discussions lack tone of voice, intonation, etc. and any form of non-verbal communication which makes it really hard to judge the intention of the other person.

And of course pure anonymity makes it possible to be an asshole without having to suffer the consequences.
You're thinking of cirrhosis, which is usually the result of continuously injuring the liver over a long period of time.

Lowering fever is not only comfort. High fever for a long time can be damaging.

Women are already told to avoid everything not strictly necessary during pregnancy. Oh, but they're also supposed to keep working, commuting, handling the modern world without 'modern comfort'. This is all without saying that pregnancies can be pretty painful and a shitty experience. How about we give them a break (if they want) or, barring that, a little empathy. And try to find something to help?

I'm not sure that's completely true at least for me. There's multiple instances of new technology I first tried as an adult that seemed amazing, I didn't get online till my mid twenties and that was an amazing experience. Switching from my 8MHz Atari ST to an 800MHz PC happened at the same time and suddenly getting access to all these new games and new software was magical, I marvelled at all the little graphical and audio details games suddenly had. I got my first camcorder and digital cameras as an adult and thought they were great.

The magic started to wear off later when technology started feeling hostile. Instead of me being in charge, my technology started doing things against my wishes and I had no power to stop it. There's been this increasing sense of technology constantly pushing and clawing at my boundaries, trying to spy on my and report back from me unless I check a dozen options and even then it may not be enough. Technology updating itself when its inconvenient, or breaking itself, or installing stuff I didn't ask for, want or consent to.

There's also the fact that this creepy boundary pushing technology is feeling more and more mandatory and a built in part of society, so its becoming harder to avoid and the sense that 90% of people have just shrugged given up.

But even now in my 40s I occasionally find a gadget or bit of software that seems magical, so I don't think for me its an age thing.

I'm sure lots of people disagree and have a very different experience, but for me that's a big part of why technology has lost its magic.
Because I openly criticize my own nation and people? Maybe... You forgot to copy the "of ours" part...

> to be fair though, it can be a hassle to get something on wikipedia - writing a well thought out addition to a page, only to have it immediately reversed out can be disheartening.

It indeed can take work, but that's also the reason why wikipedia's signal/noise ratio is high and often passed as the tertiary source.

Still, I feel that the bulk of the work lies in establishing notoriety. Sometimes people feel that very obscure topics that lack any acceptable source and fail to establish notoriety should be center stage. Sometimes the problem is half-assed nature of a contribution. Still, it's better to give it a try than to simply complain about no one having done any work.

Having a normal 2014 i7 4790k desktop + dedicated GPU that thread is hilarious.

Just buy/build a desktop PC and you can hook up everything. I have 3 1440p monitors with a 1070ti and its great. The fan turns off under 55C and it is under that for normal desktop usage.

I also have a Lenovo T490 from work. Using internal Intel GPU 2x 1440p monitors is fine. Dunno wtf Apple is doing.

Imagine not being able to hook up external monitors...

Pointing fans at the laptop!?

Recently we got a new leader of our "oil fund"[1] here in Norway. The new guy, Nicolai Tangen, had started a hedge fund which he managed and there was a big discussion regarding his personal finances, given the likelihood of conflict of interest.

It ended[2] up with him transferring his personal assets to a bank account and the ownership of the hedge fund to a charity foundation he had started long before this.

> But this would be achieved in part via more uniformity, standardization, and stability of food processes. Government managed food would end up with less variety and adaptation to individual circumstances and preferences, and this food would improve and innovate less over time.

Why would a public service for food have less diversity and innovation? A public service is operated by individuals, and doesn't have to be centralized or hierarchical.

I agree with the point that reducing competition (by enabling cooperation) can be very efficient. But i strongly disagree it has to lead to centralization and therefore less options. If anything, capitalism leads to less choices because you need big money to even exist in a certain consumer space. There is currently no avenue for "garage innovators" to innovate and spread their products... a public service could (if not operated USSR/USA style) foster cooperation and innovation across the board.

The keyboards they've been using since the flawed butterfly mechanism are imo quite good to type on (16" 2019 model here, the first one to reintroduce the scissor switches iirc). Sure, not as good as older MacBooks (or ThinkPads, etc), but totally acceptable among the modern laptops.

They can't invest elsewhere in the world, interest rates have a direct effect on currency values and therefore the value of their investments, conflict of interest.

Traders in financial institutions can invest in assets outside their job and likely those traders don't have the financial muscle to move the values of entire sectors the way the fed can.

Again, there is nowhere existing at present that a Fed chairman can invest that is outside his/her influence, nowhere there is no conflict of interest in the current financial system.

The only real solution is some kind of defined fed official only fund as you and I have both suggested. But while this would get rid of conflict of interest it enters into an issue of equality of why should fed officials get guaranteed safe investments when the public at large do not, which is why it's probably never been done.

It's interesting to read how tech people talk about industry in novel ways, but a lot of this material is well studied.

A) The word 'centralization' is consistently misapplied by the tech crowd, in almost all cases, the term is 'monopoly' (or oligarchy or monopsony) and these are well understood and studied concepts in economics.

B) The term 'Economies of Scale' is what he's inadvertently alluding to, but he's missing where most of the advantage of it comes from. Yes 'redundancy' is one artifact, but there are two bigger issues 1) specialization and 2) market power. When you're really big, you can start to afford to hire people to do things that competitors cannot, that might give you a big advantage. Most of real R&D falls into this category. So many applied 'AI' things are coming out of R&D divisions of big companies. 'Market Power' is a more abstract concept, but when you're large, you can make much stronger demands. Mondelez, P&G are big enough that they can plow through many competitors with all sorts of tactics: they get better prices and displays in-store, they have much bigger marketing budgets, they can sell at a loss in one corner to stifle a competitor, they can lean on buyers and distributors (i.e. buy them and you don't get our product) etc..You can think of Mondelez and P&G as 'owning' production and distribution. Apple is a 'Monopsony' for certain parts, and it has incredible leverage over it's supply chain and reaps most of the surplus profits from innovation in those supplying it.

C) Many firms simply do not benefit from economies of scale i.e. roofers, carpenters, most kinds of law etc. but most do, however, the US has relatively speaking, much more people employed in 'big companies' that not - and that's what makes it rich. In fact this is a defining feature of 'Rich Europe' aka Germany, UK, Netherlands vs. 'Less Rich Europe' aka Poland, Spain: 'Rich Europe' has many more people in mid to larger companies. In many industries, you have to be at a certain scale to compete effectively.

We generally don't like monopoly because the investors will tend to sit on an industry and extract rent as opposed to doing anything risky and actively block others from participating.
Tylenol/paracetamol/acetaminophen doesn't work as an analgesic, and should be avoided, regardless of pregnancy. If your doctor prescribes it, request that they research the Cochrane reviews of Tylenol, and other studies that show efficacy no better than placebo.

Tylenol is a marketing hack, not a painkiller.
When a woman becomes pregnant, everyone is only seeing a fragile infant that has to be protected from the environment.

That evolution already provides the infant with some very strong protection including two blood barriers to protect the developing brain is easily overseen.

The dosis makes the poison and there are numerous examples of addicted, underfed, stressed and overworked pregnant women giving birth to healthy intelligent childs, even in dirty and polluted environments.

Drinking a beer or taking medicine is not harming the child in any way, as long as it is done in moderation.

The paracetamol problem is an old one, because people tend to take to much of it, when feeling the slightest discomofort. Combined with coffein, aspirin and or alcohol it has a huge draw on liver and kidneys.
You have to diffentiate between taking a pill once a month and eating one package per week. Both would be inside the recommended dosage, but are clearly different.

For pregnant women it is a bit more difficult than 9 month from modern comforts, so some little remedy once in a while can go a long way.

Tbf, I learned "hacking" as the word for illegal (cyber) activity long before I've seen it used for "hacking stuff together".

How long have you been privy to Internet or programmer culture? 'Hacker' as a positive term has been around a lot longer than 'hacker' as a pejorative one.

Back in the '80s, a hacker utilised technology to interesting ends. A cracker (akin to a safe-cracker) broke into things and did damage.

Countries that tend towards people in larger corps tend to be much richer. You need economies of scale to do a lot of things, and to compete effectively.

There's a lot of profits in making cars, but Canada, Switzerland, Finland etc. even if they are relatively advanced countries, don't make cars. It's technically feasible, but really hard especially due to necessary scale and specialization.
