The point of the regulation is that it would stop an economist (or anyone) from trading with non-public information.

And it would be perfectly rational for an economist (or someone else) to trade a single stock if they had non-public information and there was no downside. Right now the downsides (it’s unethical / a gray area but depending on one’s position not always illegal) are not fully baking in the costs to society (e.g. a trader with non-public knowledge can get ahead of the broader market, impacting the ability to have a “fair” market and increasing costs for other investors).

I strongly believe that policy makers need to be indexed with broad exposure across, at a minimum, industry sectors but more preferably the US economy (or a state’s economy if they are a state representative). There is too much room for misaligned incentives (buy our depressed stock, pass this bill, make a couple million) that should be removed.
There's a part of me that wonders if this was roughly how people originally responded to EF Codd's 1970 paper.

You read it, and it all seems very abstract, and it's hard to understand why any of it would matter much to a programmer.

But look at things the other way around: assume you're a late 20th or early 21st century developer who grew up with the relational model, and now you have to work with some 1960s-era data modeling technology such as COBOL. You'd probably find that certain things that were easy in a relational database are suddenly really, really hard with this other tech stack. And probably, when you try to explain this to colleagues who'd never worked in anything but COBOL, they would respond with something like, "It's not hard, all you have to do is [really fiddly, error-prone, and difficult-to-maintain design pattern]." It can be difficult to distinguish between difficulty that's inherent to the problem, and difficulty that's only due to limitations of the tools that you know.

This is not by way of trying to imply that knowledge graphs are like the relational model in that they're definitely better than previous tech. But, assuming for the sake of argument that they do do some things better, perhaps they are like the relational model in that you need to spend a certain amount of hands-on time with them before their value becomes readily apparent.
Yup. All these arguments about wealth distribution are typically “solved” by just shifting that wealth to another select group. Of course entirely due to meritocracy - being an expert in Leninism require a certain lifestyle you understand.

I have no argument against policies which support those at the bottom end. But to pretend that an equitable outcome is possible in the long term ignore thousands of years of human experience.
> Sure, but ‘synthetic’ is a weird word.

Every word is weird if you think about it too long.

At least in the US, this is pretty simple, even if it offends the sensibilities of category pedants.

"Natural" fibers are cotton, wool, linen, etc. Processing is fine, so long as it isn't "too processed".

It is "Synthetic" if it ends in '-on', or feels like plastic or rubber.
No economy, please.

The current system created artificial scarcity which kept many people poor and a few people rich. We didn't actually need to consume until the planet was ruined, but we did. Now we are all screwed because real scarcity is returning and we still don't know how to share.
The difference seems to be that Ballmer definitely was an expert for all things commercial/enterprisey (he made MS quite a bit of money during his reign), but not an expert for consumer products.

Hey man, sorry about that. It was a high school answer to a question from someone who sounds like a high schooler.
This kind of back seat driving peer review isn’t helpful. “What she claims she can do is bs!” isn’t the story, because you’re really just disagreeing with marketing.

The problem is it took far too long for anyone to actually check the real mechanics of what was being done to see if it was faked, someone with almost no access saying it’s fake is not an authority.
I didn't change anything. I clarified my definition several times, then I asked you for a clarification of your definition and you didn't give any. Coercion usually means when someone is pressured to do something via threats, and in all the examples I gave (including when it's related to vaccines) there are no threats or pressure to do anything. We can discuss this but you're not giving me anything to work with.

For gene therapy I think typically the goal of that is the opposite of vaccines. Similar vectors can be used (in this case mRNA encased in lipids) but everything else is different. With vaccines you're intentionally trying to provoke an immune response, but one that's weak enough so it doesn't harm the patient. In gene therapy, you usually want to avoid generating an immune response at all, so the body doesn't start attacking the modified cells.

> I have a vivid memory about the first time I found out about Theranos and Holmes. It was in the business school setting, and the point the professor was making was about how cool it is that a young woman is disturbing an old industry. Not the science, not the business, but the age and gender of the protagonist.

And now her defense is that she was used, abused, and manipulated by men. Occam's razor says she was a fraud then and is a fraud now.
Someone else's mind just took a giant shit on my eyes.

My mum had a job making tea to this standard.

It was part of the quality control at the tea blending / packaging factory. It ensures repeatable consistency. It's not supposed to be the best taste, or follow some tradition or style.

It is the tea equivalent of checking the strength of cement, or measuring the brightness of a light bulb.
With Fido keys you are really supposed to be registering another key and using it to login and replace this key if it is lost or damaged. So they are probably going out of their way to block backups.

AFAIK, (though I haven't looked at newer protocol versions) if you somehow had an original backup of the token state, it would be all that you need for normal auth aside from setting a high enough counter value since the RP (website) should be providing the opaque key from the registration.

In situations where there are resident keys it would do no good to save them if the token context itself can not be backed up and is lost. I'm not sure that really matters though since this project seems to only work between browsers so I don't see how you could use this kind of virtual key with ssh, OS services, etc, that might not store the opaque key normally.
Metroid Dread is very good.

It's way shorter, somewhat easier, more straightforward, and more expensive than Hollow Knight. Depending on how much time you have, all but the last of these can be pros.
Yes. If, in the old days, e.g. 1980s, a telephone company would spy on its users to serve ads, this would be unthinkable. But somehow, here we are.

Time for consumers to get their rights back!
My friend just recently started a marketing company that provides websites too. But according to him most of the small businesses don’t care about having their own website. They mostly want someone to handle their social media accounts or marketing. In fact, he pushes people to use website builders for their own sites since small businesses cannot really pay for totally custom website.

That might be an angle you can try.
From a legal constraint point of view yes, but from a physical laws of the universe, a cop can do whatever he pleases in that room, alone, with you, and say anything he likes about what transpired.

Cameras? Malfunctioning, those buggers. Your lawyer? You waived that right, you said you were innocent and didn't need one. Phone? Well the officer explained very nicely the situation and you decided to do your best to help. Not sure why you're alleging misdeed now, when you handed your unlocked phone over without prompting...
Yep. My philosophy is to always cooperate (unless they ask for something super egregious) and show myself as friendly. This immediately reduces the alarms in their heads. I even say things like "sure guys, here are my docs, here are the contents of my backpack, hope you catch the guy you are after" and smile.

Very often the mere fact that you are not trouble makes them pay less attention and the whole thing ends really quickly.
Steve Ballmer was making sales projection claims. His biggest objection was cost of the phone, and apple overcame that with carrier financing. He never claimed that was Apple was trying was not physically possible according to our understanding of technology, just that it was too expensive and too different to be popular.

Professionals panning Theranos were not doing so because they thought it could not sell, or the cost, or other market-based concerns. They had "what you're saying is not possible based on my understanding of the physical world" concerns, and those questions were never answered at any point because it was a fraud and there was no answer.

Indeed. It's kind of surprising that this is the only comment mentioning Harvest Moon so far, since SV is so similar...

The requirements for memcpy, memmove, memset and memcmp stem from the fact that statements like "char arr[100] = {0};" or "struct somestruct some_a = some_b;" cause implicit memsets and memcpys, in cases where it can't be handled within less instructions.
These functions are required by the freestanding part of the C standard, too, anyway.

I'm in a very similar boat as you two (why does the barista at Starbucks care what my weekend plans are?), but I don't think it's always that people want to talk about themselves, I think they just want to talk to somebody, period. Humans are social creatures and have survived on our ability to form communities, so there is part of us that sometimes just want people to talk to, not necessarily about ourselves. For sure there are narcissists who do only want to talk about themselves, but I wouldn't say that's everyone.

It depends on how many would want to invest in those companies and how many wouldn't. If you have 10000 buyers but 100000 that wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole then those 10000 buyers are still contrarians.
(Partly) cashing out isn't by definition contrarian.
What alternatives to ads do you suggest? I don't see donations or paid services as a viable alternative (especially for people in emerging markets -- will companies still have any incentives to chase these markets?).

Yeah, there's a lot of crypto that's specifically tailored to minimizing the effect of mistakes like IV-reuse and it's not solved, the primitives can't do everything, so it's good to know these pitfalls. This book is more theoretical than that though and there's probably better sources idk.

Interesting information. Agreed that in an unbalanced pack deep discharge is really dangerous, but, and this is where that copper in solution comes back to bite: the bulk of the fires happen during charging, which is when the copper comes out of solution, I'm not quite sure what 'modern' means in this context but all of the batteries that I've seen so far (Samsung, LG, Sony) caution in their MSDS against deep discharge both from a functional risk as well as from a safety perspective and there are a number of pretty knowledgeable people online who are on the record with their reputations at stake cautioning against this. There is some distance between 'paper in nature' versus 'people building high capacity Li-Ion packs for industrial applications with currently available materials', I'd rather follow the latter than the former when it comes to safety!

Agreed that your setup is pretty safe though, especially if you have already cycled the pack many times and see no deviation between the cells.

I've figured out the layout, it - unfortunately - won't be possible to put the pack in the frame triangle, there are too many details that will become messy, space is constrained, mounting options are limited and wiring the pack would be a nightmare with a lot of odd groupings of cells which would have a lot of potential for mistakes, so I'm going with the 'boring' option of making a rear carrier based box that will house the battery. A port at the bottom will connect a cable with a custom made plug from an old pack to the port on the bike, which can then still do double duty to charge the pack.

From a center-of-gravity perspective it's not ideal, but it does allow boosting the pack to a full 200 cells in 10S20P configuration, which should be more than enough to do my runs and have room to spare. Can't wait to get it tested :)

A former colleague summarized this as "you can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride".

older and significantly more experienced (in terms of life and love)

i doubt that older people are more experienced.

being married for a decade or two does nothing to prepare you for an online relationship.

older people likely never had an online relationship before and also weren't switching partners as often when they were young as people nowadays tend to. if they were they should have less trouble finding a new partner.

they are falling for online relationships precisely because they don't know how to find a partner otherwise.

but that isn't even the issue.

i don't know if i could tell the difference between a genuine relationship and a well executed pretender. not meeting in person makes it really hard to verify the claims being made.

what is puzzling is why someone would give up their life savings for someone they haven't even meet yet in person.

some expensive gifts for a few thousand dollars, sure, but all i have? that's something i'd bring into a marriage and only use if it is really needed.
but then, i am a skeptic by nature.
