I'm describing a CDO scheme. Its important to remember the difference. Ponzi is a very, very different structure.

CDOs do well as long as the underlyings don't crash beyond a certain value. The "junior" guys have lots of risk (and they _WANT_ the risk and enjoy it). The "senior guys" think they're safe.

Indeed: senior/junior is roughly how we split up fiat dollars: banks do this with our money all the time (under tight regulations of course, to ensure that the banks are following the rules). Senior/junior can work, but in practice... someone out there will want to cheat the system. At that point, it all comes crashing down.

Regulating the heck out of banks to ensure that no one cheats is a big part of the solution.
You can see here how "journalism" runs to stuff that's not based on any data. 5 million + car accidents, and a probably total bogus retelling from someone probably not even sure what they were doing (ie, did she read manual?) will make it into a news article.
150% is the minimum amount of collateral. If the USD value of your locked eth falls below that 150% threshold relative to your DAI denominated debt, a liquidator will pay off your debt and take your collateral.

So, a conservatively managed Maker CDP's regularly are collateralized to the tune of 300% if not more.
Location: San Diego, Lopez Island

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No, but can do 3 days per week on site.

Technologies: Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Linux, AWS

Resume: I've been doing Rails professionally for over fifteen years now. The last four of those years spent at Apple. Before that I spent five years leading a large Rails app at Intuit. I've also worked as initial engineer on an app for startup that had a successful public acquisition in less than two years. I am honest, communicative, and reliable. I've experience with large monoliths, Rails at Scale™, MVPs/PoCs, maintenance mode retainers, 24/7 emergency downtime development work.

Notes: I'm only interested in up to three days a week of work. I'm fine being a salaried employee, but I would like full time benefits and 50% salary for three days a week. And of course I'm available in hourly, daily, and weekly capacities as well for contract work.

> Who would want tether if you can get government backed USD stable coins?

People who wanted to hold USD outside of the US's jurisdiction, for one. I suspect this is one reason that apparently “more legitimate” stablecoins haven't caused huge Tether outflows.
> There is zero chance we are going to all agree on climate change

I think if enough climate events happen to enough people around the country, a majority could develop that wants to take action. Unfortunately, I think getting people to make the necessary changes to have a meaningful impact is politically impossible.
What is wrong with feeling the changes of season, depending on your geographical location? Personally that arbitrary shifting 2 times a year always disturbed me. And why TEE EFF should we all get up together? Ever heard of chronobiology and different chronotypes? 'Night Owls vs. Larks', so to speak?
> I know that weight (fat) loss is often a goal for my exercise, and I think it's hard to do that while lifting

Agreed. Diet controls weight, exercise controls fitness. I've lost tons of weight while having varying levels of lifting/cardio, sometimes almost no exercise at all. Just eat fewer calories and more substance: cabbage, broccoli, things like that.
That's not how it works. You sue the driver, if they have insurance the insurance company steps in, after paying you out the insurance company can go after tesla.
My observation is that people seem to mean many different things by story in games and many of these threads are people talking across purposes. I would agree with the author that game stories are generally pretty crude.

I don't play much these days, but I've realised what I really want is not necessarily a AAA voice cast, gigabytes of lore, plot twists, or what hundreds of users might call a great story. I just want atmosphere: a coherent, impossible to explain sense of being. There are games with massive issues that have great atmosphere and vice versa.

I'd argue that games are much better positioned to offer this than story. It's actually their main strength and what makes much more sense to evaluate.
That was my thought as well, over here, if a car rear-ends you, both conductors stop, call their respective insurance companies, wait until a representative arrives and let them deal with the consequences.

As an individual we don´t have bargaining power vs stupid automotive choices. But insurance companies have in their best interests to make sure somebody else will pay.
For me the chicken comes out chewy and spongy if I don't cook it to 170 or so. I started having a chicken breast for almost every meal recently and I had to keep increasing the cook time to find the right doneness, and at that doneness it will read 170 or even a lot more in spots. 425 for 32 minutes for one ~10oz breast for reference.
I'd agree if you say "less profitable" instead of "more dangerous."
In general that's true, but in this particular case I'm not sure it follows. This is a very infrequent occurrence, which is why it made the news. From a societal perspective, further investment in security here is probably a net drag since all those security measures will also apply to every valid sale and there are vastly more of those. The pot of money that pays out to victims of fraud doesn't make those people whole, but it's enough to solve the problem well enough that it's probably reasonably close to a global minimum in terms of total cost across everyone in society. For those that are concerned about the personal risk, being able to do your own monitoring is a nice enhancement.

IMO “FUD” about Tether will never end, because it’s a fairly clear scam. The fear/uncertainty/doubt around it is not due to an easily remedied lack of transparency, the lack of transparency is just an attempt to disguise the scam.

I see Tether heading towards collapse, not legitimacy, and any actual increase in transparency would just hasten the collapse.
Risk is that a tether run causes all of crypto to collapse, not just USDT. How many actual dollars are in the system? Everything real has been exfiltrated through electricity bills, taxes and early adopters selling, the entire crypto economy is a hollow shell, leveraged on retail deposits.
This reminds of a similar problem: visit all nodes of a tree without using recursion or an explicit stack (or any extra storage). It's useful for marking live nodes during mark & sweep garbage collection with a guarantee that the mark process itself will complete and not cause you to run out of memory.

So this is my amended problem: convert the tree to a same-ordered doubly-linked list without using recursion or an explicit stack.
For networking allocating the frame is perfectly reasonable because you need to allocate some sort of control structure anyway and you can do it off a custom allocator. In fact i think that stackful coroutines are probably a better fit.

My issue is stackless coroutines would be perfect for generators but the required allocation kind of kills it :(.

Isn't that sort of already happening?

This year we've seen floods in Germany, huge wildfires in the US west, snow in Texas (and the Pacific Northwest), storms up the US east coast (wasn't there flooding in New England, too?), and I'm sure other stuff I've either forgotten or not heard about.

I think what's going to compound that is the push for "carbon neutrality", the idea that any emissions will be offset by... offsets (carbon capture, tree-planting, whatever). That tends to only be about the period of time from achieving carbon neutrality forward, but ignores the carbon emitted leading up to that milestone. I'm guessing that reaching carbon neutrality, for many industries, is not going to be a carbon-neutral mission. For example, if we want to move to electric vehicles prior to a carbon-neutral supply chain, then every EV build can have a significant carbon-footprint.
Realistically I don't have the power to put humans either above or below computers. That'll depend upon the independent choices of billions of humans and hundreds of billions of microprocessors.

I've found that having an accurate model of the world - one that can generate likely predictions - is very important for profit now and potentially for survival in the near future. Knowing that people are frequently blind to changes in the world that do not place them at the center of the universe, it's worth correcting for that bias in myself and envisioning a world where humans are not necessarily on top. What would that look like, and what's my best chance for survival in such a world, given that I am human?
This disregards the effect of inertia. Looking for a job is a lot of extra work that must be undertaken in the context of already having a job - working around schedules, interviewing etc. It is simply easier to continue working at the same job, so I don't think you can say "they would have obviously quit if there were better opportunities."

Which misinformation did I spread?

>Switzerland is 63.7% vaccinated.

Which I said I find it to be very low in comparison to countries like Spain and Portugal where the rate is nearly 100% so having only 64% points to a large number of anti-vaxers similar to Eastern Europe.

>In any case not getting the vaccine doesn't make someone uneducated.

No? Then what does it make the other 36% who refuse to get vaccinated? En-masse refusal of a potentially life saving vaccine that will help end the pandemic doesn't really scream intelligence and education, does it?

People could apply this same reasoning to folks who work for the US federal government. Or defense contractors. Or fossil fuel companies. Thing is, I think very few people would see "Chevron" on someone's resume and refuse to hire them (aside from maybe environmental organizations).
While English speakers on the internet don't seem to believe it, the same holds for English. Choosing your words precisely matters.

I am less certain that pure reading is the best way to get better at it. In general, using skills matters. If you just know the theory, you're already at a disadvantage. If you only know the basic ideas via indirect observation, it's worse.

All of these things - practice, theory, observation in the wild - reinforce each other.
But neither is going to go after Tesla, because insurance companies aren't about ferocious prosecution of potentially valid legal claims, or manifesting customer outrage, but getting things resolved in a final manner as quickly as possible with as little out of their pocket as possible.

To go after Tesla for defective FSD over any individual accident takes a litigant who is more concerned with making a point and/or harming Tesla than cost effectiveness.
No, instead, it's repeating the things the other person said that s/he thinks is important.

This statement could benefit from less certainty. According to Stoics, a non-virtuous life is not worth living. They would prefer to die rather than earning money in a non-virtuous manner.
What on earth are you talking about? You literally made up the 1.5 vs 3 degrees thing above, and now you're basing your argument on that being true, despite you having made it up moments ago.

Do you have a single source that says "Americans think climate change is only half as bad because of F vs C"?

Personally I doubt that a meaningful percent of Americans (or people anywhere) even know this "3" number to begin with, let alone the unit. This isn't something most people are focused on.

> The aim was to effectively keep a gun aimed at everyone

The aim was to make everyone believe there may be a gun pointed at them even if there wasn't. While that was relatively effective do you know what is even more effective? Actually having a gun pointed at everyone.

Having 500k Stasi informants and spies over its 50 years of existence is a far cry from being able to effectively spy on everyone all the time. And informants are notoriously unreliable due to a whole host of human failings, not least among them being that the people want to gain favor or at least not antagonize the state.

The modern surveillance state would make you inform on yourself via every device or communication channel you use, and at all times, with some human/AI combination making sure very little if anything is missed.
I'm sure they could ask for China's help with that. Maybe the US Gov could even get a copy of their Great Firewall? Good times.

I agree to a point. But ACID is part of the nomenclature for relational databases. I feel that if I ask a developer what ACID means, it doesn’t matter to me if they know the specific meaning of each letter in the acronym, but it does matter that they’ve heard of the term and can explain the implications of it.

The point of jargon is to allow concise communication between experts. Knowing the jargon is part of the job.
Rust has two macro systems. First it has declarative "by example" macros which I wouldn't give to an absolute beginner but they're very safe and give a flavour of meta-programming. A programmer with a good general knowledge of Rust, and a nagging feeling that there must be a better way to make these several almost-identical-but-not-quite new types they're working on can learn how to write "by example" macros and while learning probably won't set anything on fire. Rust even provides, out of the box, an easy way to see what the result was of your macro substitution.

Second, modern Rust has stable procedural macros. The procedural macros have essentially unlimited power, since they literally run inside the compiler processing the tokens of the program. Still, two kinds of proc macro, derive macros and attribute macros are fairly tame and, with due caution, merely competent programmers can experiment for themselves. It's really only the function-like proc macro that makes unlimited chaos likely and wants an expert. Stuff like whichever_compiles! (a macro which takes a series of code blocks and your program has the first one that compiled successfully...) is in this last category and is clearly toxic. Anybody who could write such things hopefully knows enough to do so only as an elaborate joke.
Interesting point,

Then why posit the existence of the immaterial?

What I'm getting at is I could use your reasoning to posit insane things that you would heartily disagree with, using your reasoning without twisting or bending it. Because your reasoning is baseless, or rather it rests on its own conclusion.

Even to just stick to the realm you're suggesting - why would anything about us need to be immaterial to have concepts like justice? I don't see the necessity of an unprovable, nebulous, unnecessary immaterial reality to explain anything.
+1 for RP. Very solid info, but I feel like their stuff is targeted to people who have been lifting for a bit already
impl Trait as the return type actually added quite a bit more than in argument position. In particular, it allows you to return a lambda without boxing since you cannot get the exact return type of a lambda (at least not yet). impl return types are sort of a special case of existential typing.
> I talked with the NTSB who said that they won't investigate because no one was killed.

So they must wait until lots of people get killed by autopilot / FSD in order for your incident (and many others) to be investigated?

The scary thing is that it is beta quality software on safety critical systems and not only the drivers know it, they use it as an excuse to cover them not paying attention on the road. Was driver monitoring even switched on at the time?

As I have said before, this software without proper driver monitoring and autopilot / FSD turned on puts the driver and many others on the road at risk.

At this point, this is more like Teslas on LSD rather than FSD judging from the bugs from many YouTube videos and social media posts of all of this.

Oh dear.
That of course would be a much better comment.

AFAICR: Hackers, the corporations they prey on, and the employees and consultants employed by the corporations.

One would think, also the clients paying the corporations for the stuff the employees/consultants produce, but I honestly can't recall; they probably featured very little in the plot, and it's been if not over then very close to thirty years since I read it.
Apple maybe made great products that just worked but honestly it isn’t that simple anymore. With the Apple Watch, multiple kinds of phones, iPads and Macs they definitely fragmented their lineup to a point where they seem to have trouble to maintain quality software-wise.

> Clicking a suspected phishing link is a failure, given the absolutely ridiculous amount of potential malware vectors such a site can have.

This is absolutely untrue and it is phishing-vendor propaganda.

If there are any "potential malware vectors" from visiting a website, there are so many other ways you are exposed to those "vectors". For instance, Hacker News is a website that features links to arbitrary user-submitted website. Any click on a website on Hacker News could expose you to all the same "vectors."

(Maybe that's why nobody here reads the article before commenting?)

If an attacker has a way to get malware to you based on your browser accessing some web page and rendering it, they have so many easier ways to do that. They can buy ads leading to the web page they control. They can make organic content that highly ranks a web page they control. They can even render custom iframes inside tweets (https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-for-websites/c...) and promote the tweet.

If you're concerned about browser zero-days - and you should be! - phishing is the least of your worries. Automatic browser and OS updates with very short remediation times and aggressive policies on BYOD devices staying up to date will get you a lot farther.

And these policies are actually genuinely compatible with the jobs of a lot of people who, well, have to click on links to do their jobs. If you fall for the phishing-vendor propaganda, you'll end up with people trained not to click on links that look like phishing links but who will happily click on links that don't (because their job requires them to), which defeats the point entirely. Hence my question about whether you're measuring results from the phishing vendor, who is incentivized to tell you that paying them is doing something worthwhile, or from actual phishers.

Finally, TFA was about spear-phishing and about convincing people to do things, not about distributing malware. A "don't click on links" security culture does nothing to protect against "don't trust emails that tell you to do wire transfers."

I have in fact spoken to my security team and convinced them to stop running phishing tests that mark clicking the website as a failure, based on exactly the above reasoning.
