Cheating the market usually doesn't work. Selling before a downturn looks good on paper, but timing the market is extremely difficult and you usually still lose, even with insider information. If you include the risk of getting caught, it's an absolutely insane proposition. I'd guess that selling as an insider trader almost never works out financially.

That may influence the sentence or fines the judge chooses to levy, but it doesn't change whether or not it was a crime. And I don't think it changes the moral dimension, either.

Because they own 90% of the toys and I think we should be taxed more on our share of the toys as opposed to our annual take of toys or we are eventually heading for a nasty tragic unproductive violent revolution. But thank you for playing. If you can make the singularity happen instead and then end scarcity that'll work too, but good luck with that.

Also if you haven't figured out by now that the investor class has figured out how to shelter almost all of their income from taxation, you haven't been paying attention. Time to make them work for their tax dodging ways again IMO.

I am also aware of previously badly implemented wealth taxes that hit just about everyone because of their very low threshold. So have a high threshold this time, say 10 or 50 million $$$, problem solved.

Engineer who specializes in digital accessibility here.

I wanted to clear up a few misconceptions on this point:

"""There is no easy way to jump long distances in the interface: TAB key navigation obligates you to go through all elements between your starting point and the target point;"""

1. TAB key navigation obligates you to go through all elements

Tab actually should behave as the key to enter and exit widgets. Yes some widgets are a single item, like buttons and links, but for more complex widgets you should be using the Arrow keys to navigate.

For example:
Example: Tabs - https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/examples/tabs/tabs-...
Example: Dropdown Menu - https://www.w3.org/TR/2019/NOTE-wai-aria-practices-1.1-20190...

(Tip: Shift + Tab to move focus backwards on a page.)

Also pay attention to what happened when you move focus to the second tab and then move away from the Widget and then come back to it. You refocus to the previously active element, not the first on. This is called a "Roving Tabindex" a very common pattern.

This solves the problem of:

A. Having to press TAB a lot to move through a page

B. Making it clear when you enter and exit a widget

These specs/keyboard design patterns have existed for a long time, but most folks only focus on the WCAG which only talks about keyboard focus so folks think everything needs to be "tabable".

2. Tab is the only way to navigate with the keyboard

Nope. Most folks who use screen readers actually navigate by headings and page landmarks. Unfortunately that navigation isn't on by default but there does exist some extensions that can turn those on for everyone:

When people say 'learn Vim', are they talking about the core editing and commands, or the I'm'proved parts that make it Vim (over vi)?

To learn 'vi' I had an 8.5 x 11 tri-fold cheetsheet that I printed out, pinned to the wall of my cubicle (yeah, it was a while ago) and referred to in constantly. Even when I wasn't editing, I'd take it down and browse up and down the columns to see what I knew/used that I hadn't before and recognize more stuff that made sense now when I had to memorize it without reason. Eventually you see how all the patterns fit together and how small it all is, wondering how you couldn't see it all from the start.

As for the muscle memory. Just get over the hump. Another pro tip. If you were thinking about using a custom keyboard layout, sort that out, because vi(m) muscle memory has nothing to do with alphabetic letters. It would be more like a musical instrument with the scale keys shuffled nonsensically. Sadly I had shooting pains up the backs of my hands, switched layouts and typing words is back but my vim's still slow, rebuilding muscle memory, so I'm with you on that.

Qubes supports VM suspension so if you wanted to you could easily create a simple shell script to suspend and resume upon the Windows VM window becoming minimized and reopened. You could use `xprop -spy <window_id>` to check the window status without polling and `qvm-pause`/`qvm-unpause` to suspend/resume the VM.
AMA Recap – Saito Network X Sifchain
Yeah me too. Given that nearly all people eventually contract the virus anyway, it seems like it would not be a valuable bioweapon. Perhaps its incredible complexity and immune-evading capabilities make it a strong contender for an engineered supervirus.
Yeah same here. I bet the properties of the virus make it a potent biological weapon if engineered to deliver all manner of payloads.
If that's the best example you've got I'm writing your entire comment off as a steaming pile of FUD.
Very well said. I don't have any insider knowledge on the way "Science" happens, but I can say from personal experience that this is exactly how politics in the US seems to be trending. You're allowed a certain range of thought, and if you go outside that range, there's some level of social/communal ostracizing that happens. Dispiriting is a great description.

I feel like this leads to further separation of actual physical communities as well with subsequent separation of governance styles, further polarizing the country in a fly-wheel effect.
Agreed. Redis pub/sub is underrated.
Just curious, are you currently or have you been a Backblaze customer?
> they created a market

Yes they did, but they also reportedly have a 30%+ net margin. How is it surprising that other players who are in the position to do so, will attack them on price? While of course offering full API compatibility, which is what challengers have to do.

Do we need board game analogies to explain that some components of AWS are going to get commoditized?

Are you referring to Cloudflare's R2 storage? If so, I'm not sure that's completely comparable as Backblaze has a huge focus on backup systems, not just cloud storage.

[Edit: didn't realize Backblaze has cloud storage, I still think of them as the cloud backup company.]
The Air doesn't have a touch bar and costs less money. It's also a perfectly good -- no, sorry: an excellent laptop for most applications, including development.

I suspect the 13" M1 Pro was probably just something to cater for those who were skeptical about a fanless laptop since no one really knew back then how well these machines would perform. Now that the M1s have been out for a while and no one seems to be complaining about the Air, they can drop the M1 Pro.

Long time customer of their backup product, and I'm considering B2 for an upcoming project as a result. They seem to be good at doing what they do, which is always great to see :) Especially great to see an IPO from a company that isn't exploiting privacy, or gig workers, and instead simply providing a great service.
Well apparently superinfection is possible though I don't know what the odds are of reinfection on secondary exposure. Maybe there are small changes that can be made to the genome to guarantee reinfection.
A limitation of TypeSense, and a lot of alternatives, is that they don't really work on Windows. TypeSense looks good for embedded situations (ie. inside an app) except it won't run on Windows.

My understanding is that Apple's terms of service are incompatible with the GPL. If you hold the copyright yourself though, you have no need to abide by the license and can distribute it on the App Store under different terms.

I took a brief look at a few of those and it looked like they either only included code that they owned the copyright to or that was under a more permissive license than GPL.

Putting your own GPL code in your iOS app is fine. The issue with GPL on the iOS store arises when you put someone else's GPL code in your iOS app.

The problem is that that the terms of use that the user must agree to in order to use the store place restrictions on what the user can do with the software they obtain through the store. These restriction are at odds with the GPL requirement that you not place additional restrictions on GPL software you distribute.

For Apple to distribute GPLed software on the Apple store, the copyright holder has to give them permission to do so on terms other than GPL. In the case where the developer who places the GPL app on the store is the copyright holder to the entire app this is no problem. They have had to agree to Apple's terms for developers in order to be allowed to upload. I've forgotten what exactly is in those terms, but I'm almost certain there is something in there that requires the developer to give Apple permission to distribute.

That permission that a developer of a GPLed app (or an app under any other license) gives to Apple to make and distribute copies only applies to code owned by that developer. If they have included any third party GPL code from owners who have not granted Apple that permission, then the app as a whole will not be legal for Apple to distribute.

In summary, distributing on the Apple app store requires that you give Apple a license to make and distribute copies under Apple's terms, which are not GPL compatible. Apple does not care what license you give to anyone else, so it is fine to go with "GPL for everyone plus this special license for Apple".
Note superyesh was talking about 100 to 500 thousand requests per second. Your overall question stands, but the scale superyesh was talking about is very different and I am quite confident superyesh's scale is definitely in the minority.
The one at my gym had a dial to adjust resistance. It did something to change how the water inside moved around, I think.

I tried googling "water rower" to find the model, and I couldn't find it. I can say that it was different from most water rowers I'm finding though. Most of them have the water tank horizontal, while the one I used had it vertical. It looked very similar to this: https://sunnyhealthfitness.com/products/water-rowing-machine...

EDIT: Actually, it more closely resembled this one: https://firstdegreefitness.com/shop/fluidrower/vx-2/
Look into KDE Connect which has a similar feature. Not proximity based as far as I know, but it handles the hard part of unlocking the device.
I think the US is the outlier here. Not just Commonwealth governments but pretty much any non-US government will put a higher priority on safety and avoidance of harm than the US does in pretty much any domain of public life.

If the UK or Germany had the road or gun deaths of the US you'd see the same reaction, or Australia after Port Arthur.
I dont think every time a competitor launches it instantly eats all marketshare from the others. Backblaze seems to target different niches like small projects, also personal backup (cloudflare does not do this). Also cloudflare new storage seems like more "hot storage" cache-type service but backblaze seems like more "cold storage" and infrequent access. Also since backblaze is a member of bandwidth alliance the two might work well together and compliment instead of compete so much.
Backblaze offers "B2" storage, which is also API compatible with S3 (and cheaper, no ingress/egress, etc). I think their focus is more long term storage (slow, infrequent access but cheap per unit).
Minimum Wage and Firm Variety
So sure, mentioning deaths is inflammatory, but not without context. It was in reply to the parent comment's (and Chappelle's) narrative of 'the trans community has somehow been too successful'.

Additionally, a black trans death is precisely what Chappelle used to justify his own monologue.

Analyses like you just did do feel authoritative, but it is important to remember that HRC only began tracking these things in 2013, and given the state of play in the US, I wouldn't expect it to be a complete survey for quite some time.

Quoting from the nih article you cited about the difficulties collecting data:

*Research has shown that transgender individuals around the world and in the United States are exposed to widespread social stigma, discrimination, harassment, and physical and sexual abuse. Compared with the general population, a national survey conducted in the United States in 2008 found that transgender individuals were 4 times more likely to live in extreme poverty, had double the rate of unemployment, and had almost double the rate of being homeless. In terms of health, transgender individuals had 4 times the rate of being HIV-infected and 28% postponed medical care because of discrimination. Particularly alarming is that 41% of survey respondents reported at least 1 suicide attempt. A barrier to understanding social determinants and health disparities faced by transgender people is the under- or nonrepresentation in a range of demographic and health-monitoring activities,5 which may result from a lack of transgender-inclusive data collection with regard to gender identity.*

Additionally, your zooming analysis didn't account for victim gender disparity.

3,584 female victims in 2020 vs 14,194 males.

Given that the majority in the murdered trans population we are discussing are
black trans women, not factoring that in will give you your counterintuitive conclusion.

44/21570 (0.002) becomes 27/3584 (0.0075)

when viewed through the lens of gender.

I can't make that fbi website spit out better numbers, but the fact that the fbi doesn't even have an incentive to track this kind of thing is telling all by itself.
yes you can

Why not? It does sound micer that way and some customers may actually think they resell them just because of this...
Right... The one privacy-based search engine included in browser search engine lists. If the government wanted to make a secret deal with a company, it's not like they would make it known. Heck, they could even get cases redacted that mention it. People gotta make money.
For those looking at the risks, it might sound a little pessimistic, however when compared against other 'emergent growth' S-1's we've seen this year, it appears to be an otherwise normal filing with the normal amount of CYA. I hope they do well, and I hope they don't change too much in the pursuit of a profit. Not being profitable in the SaaS business is not necessarily the scarlet letter that it is in other fields, so I'm optimistic for their future.

Also, congrats Backblaze! The next adventure begins :)
How does the scattering affect the neutrons? When do we start the clock for their lifetime anyway? It sounds like they could absorb + reemit sometimes when being scattered.
Yes I agree. Anaconda is one of the worst pieces of software on earth. In fact I have never gotten it to work with anaconda. I use this nix-flake: https://github.com/marcus7070/cq-flake which is faaaaar easier to use and setup and includes the editor. But the README says it probably won't work on non-nixos systems so your mileage may vary.
Right so we have:

function find_user(person: string)

and also:

function find_user(person: Object)

how long before someone writes this:

find_user(person: { name: "dave" })

meanwhile, someone else, not suspecting that they'll be handed a weird half-formed `User` object adds `person.id` somewhere in the body of the Object version of `find_user` and now we have a weird edge-case where very rarely `find_user` panics because the user object we're handed doesn't have an id??? Great, I just lost an hour trying to dig that out of the logs, and the users are starting to think of the product as flakey because the bug has been in prod for over a month before we finally believed them enough to look into it.

Just. Use. Types. Multiple dispatch won't save you on its own. You NEED compile-time types.
Hey first of all thanks for the constructive replies, much appreciated!

"Attempts to understand this risk by looking at historical data are flawed" is a good summary of my main point, you got it. Basically I think we can't ignore the possibility of large incidents just because they haven't happened yet.

We can extrapolate from known small incidents, some of which are listed on wikipedia:

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

Some standouts:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goi%C3%A2nia_accident

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_San_Juan_de_Dios_radiothe...

Other incidents mentioned without separate stories include radioactive waste finding its way into road pavement, apartment building materials (hundreds of contaminated flats, nobody found out for years).

Incidents such as these have killed many people over several decades in many countries, and that's just through sheer negligence. What if someone adds malice to the mix?

That's actually my main concern about nuclear power, not the safety of the reactors.

But since you mentioned building them in a desert in order to be safe I feel the need to mention my perspective there too. First of all, Chernobyl had 4 reactors and only one exploded, thanks to heroic effort. (Meaning it could at the very least have been 4x worse than it was).

The event was actually discovered in the west by sensors in Sweden, which is very far away. Fallout from Chernobyl made certain grazing animals surpass legal radiation levels for over 30 years (and counting) in areas as remote as Lapland and Bavaria.

To put the distances in perspective if you are American, it means that a similar event as Chernobyl taking place in Florida would make pigs from Texas and Caribou from Ontario be unsuitable for human consumption, for many decades.

So distance does not really help. In order to be safe by putting power plants in a desert, the USA would basically need to put it's reactors in the Sahara.

The safest place for a reactor would be inside a very stable and peaceful country with a very high level of mental health in the entire population. Maybe Switzerland?

I'm not saying we shouldn't even consider it under any circumstance, but if there's any other option (which I believe) then that option is probably preferable.
Backblaze makes 73% of their revenue from computer backups. I do not see how the Cloudflare announcement will eat into that.

I would agree that B2 is their high growth area, but I do not think Cloudflare directly opposes B2.
