For reference; this system is called Martingale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_(betting_system). It is used for a lot of years; there's even a refernece of it in the Dostoyefsky novel "The Gambler": https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/dostoevsky-in-conte....

Also beyond roulette I've heard of various martingale variations in different gambling games. For example, a common system here in Greece is play martingale on draws on a soccer league (like the World cup or the Euro Cup): Pick the first game and bet on draw (no matter what the teams are). If you win you'll get 3x (that's what the draw usually gives); if you lose, double it and bet draw at the next game. This is a good system if you can afford doubling. I remember a Euro some years ago where there were like 15 games without a draw ; consider that if you started with 1 euro you'd need to bet ~ 32 0000 euros in the 15nth game ...

I think it's generally understood that densities are per unit volume, and if you want to refer to gravimetric density, you would talk about the 'specific energy.' [0]

That said, you make a good point. The energy density advantage isn't huge when comparing to liquid H2, although it's more significant vs compressed H2.

First it's a one single still frame up until the full closure of wounds, may be it's the reason for a dream effect that you feel. It was shot on the same camera as other shots from the John's point of view in this scene, but processed differently, as it went trough film scanner and laser film recorder.
The minute tech gets involved it's also another thing to go wrong..

Personal anecdote time:
Recently went to a car park that had to pay by phone and no phone signal (in the UK if it's relevant).

This was obviously a common problem, so they provided an open WiFi network limited to just the parking website.

Unfortunately, I had to create an account to be able to pay to park, and the account creation was gated by a Google captcha that.. wouldn't load as it was blocked.

So no way to pay to park, and a crowd of confused tourists all trying to work out how the hell to park without getting a fine.

Any recommendations on this front?

From that article:

> Now of course I am oversimplifying. For one thing, the wholesalers don’t have to fill every order out of inventory; they will do that with some orders and pass others on to the exchange to execute. They do not provide price improvement on 100% of orders, though they do compete to provide price improvement and are evaluated by brokers based on how much they provide. They will often lay off risk on the public markets rather than trading exclusively with retail customers; often they will be in the business of market making on the exchanges too, and will manage that business and the retail business in some interacting way. Anyone who trades a lot of stock benefits from having information about order flow, and a wholesaler who sees a lot of retail orders will have some informational advantages in its public trading.

Or TL;DR: the NBBO benefit pointed to by OP isn't absolute, order flow is valuable information, and rather than being some kind of exchange utility wholesalers are actually trying to maximize their own profits.

I'm fine with this? I'm not fine with how OP characterizes them, which doesn't seem aligned.

I am not sure I read the same comment as you. I read it as a general observation that people compromise ideals for convenience.

You can't decide whether something is credible by looking for a tone of even-handedness. It's a misleading signal that rules out the possibility that all of the facts are on one side or another, and people who are trying to fool you will always adopt a tone of even-handedness.

if we do a naive inflation adjustment to 2021 dollars:

star wars ANH: $50 million

star wars ESB: $100 million

star wars RoTJ: $90 million

lawrence of arabia: $137 million

ben hur: $144 million

so yeah, the movies you mentioned had significantly larger budgets, but not massively so (at least compared to ESB and RoTJ). I'd argue the bigger difference is the subject matter. you can do a large 1930's battle without CGI just by throwing money at the problem. there isn't an amount of money you could spend in 1970 to do any of the prequel trilogy coruscant scenes. they probably could have done most of the naboo scenes, though.

I'm also not arguing that huge CGI renders are always a good thing. most stories are really just about the interactions between a few people. I do think it's a significant value add for the scifi genre especially, where the world itself is often a character.
The One Risk to Rule Them All
Even without using reserved instance pricing, ECS on EC2 is much cheaper, isn't it? At work we use Hasura, which is written in Haskell and cannot be (easily?) run as a Lambda. Our alternative solution is to run it as a container on ECS. Given that it's a permanently running service, with Fargate we'd pay just to have it sit idle for half of the time, and Fargate is not cheap.

Even when running non-reserved EC2 instances to make up our ECS cluster, it is cheaper than using Fargate.
That's incorrect, if you look into regenerative agriculture you'll see that soil carbon content can be increased from 1 to 8 percent in less than a decade. Carbon sequestration isn't just from biomass above the soil, it also occurs through carbohydrate transfer to microbes and as a result of the increase in microbial biomass in soils.

It's both. Basic things like submitting a command to the drive requires fewer round trips with NMVe than AHCI+SATA, allowing for lower latency and lower CPU overhead. But the raw throughput advantage of multiple lanes of PCIe each running at 8Gbps or higher compared to a single SATA link at 6Gbps is far more noticeable.

Huh? Do you have a reference for that?

This is what I remember from T2 director's cut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiBHj8Xs4sg (at 0:21).

When I saw the theatrical cut it always confused me how John could tell who was the T1000. And it also annoyed me that Arnie shot the frozen T1000, seemingly only speeding up his thawing.

In the director's cut you see that T1000 is actually damaged, but not damaged like a non-liquid robot would be. It's not losing mobility (control) of an arm, but instead losing control of its morphing functions.

It's complete genius that was (almost[1]) entirely cut from the theatrical cut. It's ridiculous that the edit it out.

[1] There's exactly one "flicker" of T1000 metalliness in the theatrical cut. A small remnant of a genius idea.

Inflation Is Up, but the Inflation Truthers Are Still Wrong
> If 10% of them grow 90% of the food then it's completely consistent.

The claim implied that the small farms get more of the subsidy, i.e. that they would be the ones wiped out without it.

> The reason should be pretty obvious, without the subsidies they would be no US farms.

Why would there be no US farms? Real estate in San Francisco is much more expensive than it is in Mexico City or the like, but farmland in Oklahoma is not uncompetitive with farmland outside of the US.

If this was the real reason then the subsidies wouldn't be suspiciously concentrated at the location of Iowa caucuses.
Exactly. And you can tell, is my point.

Same with other CGI scenes.

Amazing for 30 years ago, but very not possible to confuse with practical effects.
My experience with ECS is quite okay. You start a cluster, stick a container on it through a task and optionally a service + load balancer and it just works.

It doesn't seem any harder than EKS, and it's mostly cheaper.

I also find some comments on this article about vendor lock-in dubious, because in the end it's a bunch of containers created from Dockerfiles, which you can easily reuse elsewhere.
Of course it makes a difference. If you want to protest the parking scheme and you complain to Trader Joe’s you won’t get anywhere, because they have nothing to do with it. They’re only mentioned because they’re a popular store and will draw clicks. It’s a sleazy and dishonest tactic. Trader Joe’s isn’t responsible for the scheme, nor is it limited to that particular Trader Joe’s. It’s a service that’s used at many different garages. Why highlight that one specifically?

> do heterogenous lists make sense as a default?

Yes, because then the list object doesn't have to do any extra work to check the types of objects. If your application needs that extra checking, you can add it in your application's code; but there's no reason to burden the basic list object with extra code that not everyone needs.

> Especially since they are going to be way slower

Way slower than what? They're slower than Python arrays, of course, but Python arrays can only store numeric values (since the amount of space each value takes up is constant and known when the array is created).

For a container that needs to be able to store objects of any type (including instances of user-defined classes), a heterogeneous list is faster than a homogeneous one, because, as above, it doesn't have to do extra work to check the types of objects. All the other extra work is there because the size in memory of the objects isn't known in advance; and that will be true even if all of the objects are of the same type, since instances still won't necessarily all have the same in-memory size (for example, consider instances of user-defined classes with different attributes).

Related quote from op’s link:

“ That they’re delivering partial products intentionally and not informing buyers prior to payment nearly feels like fraud. I guess it is actually. All they need to do is inform buyers before the sign and make clear the mitigation strategy. But wouldn’t expect Tesla to do that unfortunately. They’re going to push on this until they get hit with a class action. They lied to my face about several issues when I bought my car as well. My wife was ready to walk when we found out. Ugh.”

I guess everyone is proposing they don’t defraud their customers.
Yep, unfortunately, this is where the culture of the world is going. More woke everyday.

I was pro-lockdown when they first started, but the mandates coming out now don't really make any sense. It seems like politicians are just imposing new restrictions because they need to be seen doing something.

In my (EU) country you need to be vaccinated to go into most shops, restaurants, bars, and beauty services. However you can freely go to your office and not wear a mask. Even the people working in places where as a customer you need to be vaccinated, do not themselves need to be vaccinated.

I'm fully vaccinated, but I have friends who are not. The people who do not want to be vaccinated have their reasons, and I doubt these restrictions which cause mild inconveniences at best (compared to lockdowns like last winter, where some stores were closed for 3 month and you couldn't leave your city) are really going to make them change their mind. If they really want everyone to be vaccinated, they should just come out and say that, then work to get it passed into law.

You, too, could have that piece of mind. There is a clear road from this rather dystopian reality, where a company can use and abuse your data at will, to solid protections with teeth. The first step is to believe it's possible and desirable.

The ruling party doubled down on a "strong borders" rhetoric, and ordered the military to block any attempts to aid the refugees.

Parking in the UK was a nightmare for me. I don’t remember the specifics, but either a 1 or an I is a valid character for a license plate, and the other isn’t valid. The app used standard iPhone fonts such that the one that will never exist in the UK looked exactly like the WRONG character on my phone.

I got a parking ticket from the first parking lot we parked in on that trip, within just a few moments of walking out of the lot.

I had screenshots and everything that showed that I paid, and the language the company used on its tickets and also appeals process was completely foreign to me, an American.

Total nightmare but after many rounds of back and forth I was able to successfully appeal, and then get them to explain to me in more plain language that it actually was successful.
