The author's thesis may be true: maybe people make this mistake all the time.

But, remember on the Tonight Show, where Jay Leno would go out on the street and ask a lot of people questions, then they'd edit together a segment that made it look like all of the interview subjects were idiots? It's not fair to characterize the entire sample from a curated selection.

In this case, Amazon probably gets hundreds of millions of searches a day, and it probably doesn't take many URLs being pasted in the search box to show up as automatic suggestions. One of the examples that pops up is "amzn.to/3tmosfj": how many people do we think searched for that url? A million people? Closer to a hundred people? Or was it one person, one time, out of a billion possible users?

I don't know the answer, but that's the point: nobody does. So, we can't draw conclusions from this example about how people use (or misuse) the search bar.

That explains a lot. I thought Sid was an unusual name for someone with that surname. But it makes business sense to use something more internationally pronounceable.
Django does include a pretty robust Form framework with advanced features such as custom widgets, validation, and integration with the ORM. But there are other similar libraries outside of Django.

So I'd say Django gives you some tools to implement large forms but don't necessarily is a big advantage compared to something you might find in node or ruby

I really like Gitlab, and I wanted to move my team onto their hosted offering, but earlier this year they changed the pricing so abruptly and drastically that it just killed it as an option.

It just feels like it does too much, and unless you want to commit to having everyone using it for _everything_ the pricing doesn't seem to make sense.
Not at all. Unless there are tons of people on that network who are using the same VPN as you, it would be trivial to figure out the endpoint.

Good Question..
Everyone reaches for the interesting explanation, but usually the actual explanation is much more mundane.

It just happens, and it's not that interesting.

>Plus store security is not allowed to actively interact with thieves

This is a common misunderstanding/misrepresentation. Yes, most stores have polices against physical force but those policies exist to control a minority of security guards. I've worked private retail security/loss prevention before and the attitude of most of us was a very valid "why would I risk my life and health over a toothbrush someone is walking out of the store with?" It makes zero sense. It's not my property, any paltry bonus I may get is in no way worth my safety and I'm not a cop so I don't have qualified immunity. The only guard that would tackle you at the exit is the kind of guard that has a propensity for violence and took the loss prevention job because the police and military already rejected them. Allowing your LP staff to use physical force is not going to solve retail theft.
I think that the fact newer versions of popular OSes (Windows, Android) try hard and harder to hide the filesystem from the users - probably because "they won't understand". But in the long run, hiding it makes the problem even worse.

> so you need to have more precise control over the versions of the runtime & sdk you have installed

Oh, this doesn't sound good at all.

One thing I positively hate about Java is always having to worry about which version of this and that (sdk, vm, headless, etc...) you run on top of. The claim of write once run anywhere has not really happened in my book.

Even C++ is better in that regard these days.

I am certainly hoping the .NET / F# environment didn't inherit that attribute from the Java ecosystem, that'd be a major downer.

My goal is only to learn F# / experiment with it, and I'm certainly hoping never to have to spend a second thinking about "versions of the runtime & sdk".

Ego4D: Around the World in 3k Hours of Egocentric Video
how much was the 409a valuation in 2017? $2-$3 a share? 15000 at $3 is $45K. assume all profit, lets say between federal and state he had to pay 40% on that (assuming its not long term capital gains, might very well be, and he's in a high tax state and has a high yearly income). so he would have to pay another 18k at most on top of the few thousand to excercise his options). though possibly less, as I said about long term gains.

18k isn't a small chunk of change, but it should be managable by most engineers. going from 4000 (.27*15k) to 20+K is a big jump, but it shoudn't be what scares you away.

>> that's going against the current

>What does that that mean in practice?

In practice, it means Javascript/Python programmers have more community knowledge/plugins in VSCode than VS2019.

Yes, even though VS2010 added Python language support 5 years before VSCode was released in 2015, they have very different ecosystems and communities.

VSCode is more popular with the Python community (especially in the open source landscape) than VS2019. E.g. virtually all Python/Jupyter data science tutorials use VSCode instead of VS2019.

Even though one code Python in VS2019, a lot of programmers realize they don't code "Python in a vacuum" and want the tech advancements made by the community (plugins, tutorials, etc). VSCode costing $0 also helps too.

That's the point I was trying to make with my parent comment: it's not really comparing Electron runtime vs native code; it's comparing core language ecosystems.

VS2019 is more prominent for companies compiling C++ native apps and C# corporate apps (ASP.NET and WPF projects). That VS2019 also has Javascript and Python support doesn't change the fact that the majority mindshare for js/py is over in VSCode.

Also, the latest dev surveys I saw reported that for Python coders, VSCode recently surpassed Jetbrains Pycharm in popularity.

Eh, who cares? Maybe the energy usage from machine learning overall is negligible - I haven't looked into it. But still, what's wrong with showing that a result also has a reduced carbon footprint compared to modern methods?
I think another interesting factor is that hardly anyone dies before a reasonably ripe age these days. We take for granted that we will have the full course of life.

When (e.g. in the 1800s) a typical person has at least one sibling die before adulthood, it throws the fundamental uncertainties into sharp relief.

Not saying that's a good thing, but it is different.

I'm paying close attention to the direction that (my native) India takes w.r.t. GM food crops, which have so far been illegal.

Background: India went from colonialism-induced massive serial famines to self-sufficiency and then some, while entirely eschewing GM foods. (NB: this doesn't mean there is no malnutrition in India, where inequalities are rife, but it means that the country as a whole is able to produce more than needed. The causes of hunger are non-intuitive; for e.g. the dumping of cheap foods is more likely to cause hunger than solve it, as hunger stems from poverty which stems from economic disablement - which is caused by dumping cheap foods.)

Now, the Green Revolution did result in a loss of biodiversity (among other problems) but without creating the kind of monocultures you see in the US. For example, there are still numerous varieties of rice in India, especially locally variated.

Despite this, the Indian government has been increasingly warming over recent years to introducing GM foods (which is largely a solution in search of a problem, in the Indian context). The threat from GM foods is almost always misunderstood. It is not about the individual health effects of eating GM foods; it is about the largescale replacement of a system where farmers own their biodiverse seed, with a top down monocultural approach that essentially makes farmers franchisees of a massive corporate behemoth and eliminates biodiversity, putting all eggs in one basket.

It's a fair point. One of the biggest pros in favor of unpopular freedom of speech is preventing revolution via the airing and discussion of suppressed views.

In a college environment is probably the most socially safe (i.e. distinct from propagandizing) and productive (i.e. more likely to be intellectually examined) environments for them.

So if they exist anywhere, and I subscribe to the idea that unpopular things need to be speakable somewhere, then college is a good place.
> I see the possibility of deflation as extremely small.

Which is good, deflationary pressure is devastating.

The low prices that occurred during a deflationary phase look appealing after-the-fact. But the cause of those low prices were the fact that nobody could afford anything close to market price for assets. Inflation slowly erodes purchasing power, but deflation completely erases it.

People who've lived through the GFC remember why houses, cars, and stocks where cheap: because your income could go to zero at any time. Even if you had the money now to buy something, that wasn't prudent. The phrase of the era was, "cash is king."
There are multiple options to approach the Clojure* ecosystem. But yes, it is more focused towards dedicated and experienced developers overall. I use IntelliJ Idea + Cursive for development and that seems quite comfortable. I have a very rough sketch of the environment setup for a real app here: https://www.orgpad.com/s/hfxYQYkcLYV We use a similar setup to develop OrgPad itself.

You can use Babashka https://github.com/babashka/babashka for a quick and dirty setup to get you up and running quickly. That is also useful for scripting some things. You might also try shadow-cljs + ClojureScript, if you are more at home in the Node.js/ Browser JavaScript ecosystem and want to do something with it. There is a new "(Not)Babashka" but built on ClojureScript: https://github.com/borkdude/nbb that might be interesting as well.

I have found this video by James Trunk: https://youtu.be/C-kF25fWTO8?t=848 to have a very nice live coding example.

Personally I am pulling back on the inflation claim. Im not sure that the claim that bitcoin is an inflation hedge is accurate. Or at least I haven't investigated it enough to continue advocating that claim.

I'm also not sure that bitcoin does shield wealth from government, at least in the US it doesn't. It certainly does a better job if your government is not the US. The other two claims I agree with.

To me the utility of btc is simple. It's the ability to opt into a different and codified monetary policy. That policy is collectively securitized. If I don't agree with the monetary policy of a or any government I can opt I to a system outside of that. Imo this serves as competition to centralized banking.

Eh, whatever. They did a soft launch, realized they didn't have product-market fit, and walked away. Most startups are utterly terrible ideas, just look at this year's YC batch.
I'm going a different way here since the important metric is that out of 5800 tenured faculy, only 1500 professors signed their petition (article did not specify tenured status of those who signed). As an academic, I have to say this is largely about preparing a way for new profs to reach tenure. With most departments having a set headcount, it has always been the case with aging profs to slow down their efforts and ride the train to emeritus status. That makes for frusterating roadblocks to one's career. In the sciences, these are becoming more far between as ambitious profs don't slow down as there is still ground to achieve more personally through accolades, industry and professional society awards, etc. Most of the aged profs I've worked with in the past 5 years are still cranking out PhD students and bringing in funding.

But correlation does not equal causation, and that is not at all the case in countries that have higher minimum wages right now. All the theoretical bloviating by uncompromising capitalists doesn't change that. We don't need quasi-slavery to function as a society in 2021. We just have it because we are addicted to it.

> What's always missing from stories like this is how the crooks get the money out. Considering that all Western governments have achieved total surveillance on our banking and made it impossible to have anonymous bank accounts, I'd like to see a detailed analysis about why they can't follow the money and see who gets it.

It's not really like this. Banks (and Western) governments are extremely meticulous about recording financial transactions, but have relatively few systems for actually retrieving that information for proactive law enforcement. There are large historical and technical barriers that prevent meaningful advances in the government's ability to surveil bank accounts in real time.

As just one example: interbank settlement over ACH is measured in days, not seconds or even hours. During settlement, anything can happen: the ODFI might try to claw the transaction back, either institution can go bankrupt, the destination account might close, etc. A human frequently intervenes to handle these cases. Banking is eventually consistent, but the fraudster is frequently long gone by that point.

Edit: it's also worth noting that "anonymous" (read: numbered) banking is also really only good for Doing Crime (and Having Crime Done to You). But plenty of countries, including the US, allow you to open bank accounts (and do debit transactions) without an official government ID.

That's sort of analogous to telling a firefighter "Don't worry about water supply, just focus on putting the fire out." It's basically an oxymoron.

Apple certainly was the winner of Huawei being pushed out of the USA market. Now they can continue slowly issuing premium features their competition had years ago, like the macro lens in the new iPhone 13.

IMO, if Huawei had remained, high-end hardware would have entered a race to the bottom, and Apple would have been the biggest loser, we can't have that.
