May I ask if this was before or after GLB (1999, for the kids following at home)? (My experience as a derivative market maker was post GLB and post crisis.)

Managing a flat book is less exciting than placing directional bets. It’s also less profitable, at least when the bets go well. Add to that the complexity of market making, particularly when derivatives enter the equation, and you get the two decades–following the advent of ECNs, turbocharged by GLB and ending in the financial crisis—in which market making desks were proprietary traders first and liquidity providers second.

Also, if you buy a swap and I simultaneously sell stock, there is both a simultaneous trade and liquidity being provisioned in a value-adding way.

What strange advise. I turned down a highly paid job in the US and immigrated to Australia instead. And that was the right choice for me.

It just used different words. "Sometimes they’re confused with another annoying but more useful hidden file: shadow files whose names start with ._ which are used to carry extended attribute data as part of the AppleDouble file format used on some FAT file systems."
Since Windows and MacOS don't seem interested in having mutually supported advanced filesystems, it would be nice if we just standardized on a flat file structure to implement portable features.

fat32 is very portable but has a 4GB limit and lacks entered attributes. exfat probably supports everything but until very recent open source drivers it lacked cross platform compatibility.

Plus too many devices are going to be limited to fat32 so we might as well just use that as a common denominator.

It would be nice if a DS_Store system could be used to associate split files (e.g. $NAME.1 $NAME.2, etc.) as a word around for the 4GB limit. User permission attributes and other extended attributes could be stored as well.

What's interesting is that Fat32 had this feature implemented on OS/2 and Win NT via files with the "␠EA.␠SF" suffix. Unfortunately looks like it was dropped in Windows 2000.

My comment originally only said that webm was not supported prior to iOS 15. But webm videos are not fully supported in iOS 15 either afaik, so I updated the comment to specify that they started adding support for parts of it. You may have seen an earlier version of my comment without that qualifier, in which case I apologize for any confusion.

Of course you can. This is the entire thesis with which HFT beat out old-school market makers in securities.
Yeah, I can understand that.

I had a lot of fun listening to music in winamp when I was younger with milkdrop. But I think my tastes have changed now to where I prefer visualizations with more concrete imagery and variety instead of the usual variations of abstract effects (they are still dope as hell though).

I tried to design this app with that in mind, but I definitely see why some people don't find them this style of visualization to be interesting. Maybe someday someone will put some serious effort into bringing the demoscene-style visualizations into the modern era?

When the fed is printing money, valuations don’t matter. Just for reference, Rivian is a $100B company with no revenue and potential orders for 50000 cars that they only plan to make until the end of 2024.

In most cases , investors only care about growth. As long as they continue to see double digit growth, the stock will continue to grow . E.g TSLA. It is only when the growth stops that the stocks starts to crash - e.g. Peloton and Zoom .
You have to understand the background of this law, it may very well possible but time consuming and based on current defamation laws that were written for print media. In a recent high court case it was ruled that an online content posted on a Facebook business page of a media company the publisher is the business and in Australia the publisher is liable for defamation, not Facebook. So it is easier to sue the business (including small businesses) than the actual poster. This law will override this judgement and make explicit that the online poster is the one liable for defamation. In that case you can apply for a court order to unmask the person behind the account. If the social media companies fails to do so then THEY will be liable for the defamation.

Australian government will also fund test cases as for a ordinary person to mount a federal court case against the likes of Facebook is very expensive

It is really quite easy: have someone you know provide a nonsense word. In needs to have no logical sense or connections to to anything - pure nonsense. Then, with that phrase held in your most present and loudest inner voice you repeat that phrase in your head. Repeat it over an over, forcefully to drive any other thoughts or thought fragments out of your mental conversation(s) (at all mental conversation levels, if you have more than one going at once). After a few minutes of forceful repeating, it echoes on it's own, and a few realization moments later 20-30 minutes have passed and it feels like waking from a refreshing dream. When in the "state", it really can't be described because it is whatever your imagination and recent experiences feedback froth back and forth. It's relaxing and refreshing, and a great way to clear one's head when working on difficult complex mental goals.
The whole industry is a farce. Nobody will do anything until after someone abuses it in a high profile case.
When is this political correctness(?) madness going to end? The scammers knew exactly what they were doing, and that's exactly what marketing does to us too. Yet why do some people try their hardest to ignore the elephant in the room and want to act like it's due to some other reason? Ignore the truth at your own peril... you are only helping the scammers that way.
Israel hardly is a bastion of respect towards women....
It should be noted that the fertility rate is sort of an abstraction of what people would intuitively think of from the name. Fertility rate is the average number of children a female would have if she experienced the exact current age-specific fertility rates for her entire lifetime. So add the current expectation value of kids at 18 + at 19 + at 20 ... The measure also assumes women all survive the entirety of their reproductive life. For a developed nation where mortality before old age is low and fertility rates have been reasonably constant for an extended period of time, total fertility rate should be close to the real average. Unfortunately, this measure breaks down in developing nations where mortality is non-trivial and reproductive behaviors are actively shifting. For example, if you have a large cohort that is delaying having kids until an older age, then in the short term the fertility rate at their current age range will sharply decrease, but the fertility rate of the older age range won't go up until they actually age into it, leading to a few years of fertility rates being inaccurately low, and then eventually a sudden increase. This is known as the Tempo Effect. It's also worth pointing out that the replacement level fertility depends on the mortality rate, 2.1 is a pretty good estimate for a developed nation, but it is often higher in developing nations.

India's fertility rate has been consistently dropping for some time, as is typical for developing nations, so it's not surprising that they're getting a lower value now than 5 years ago, but this may be less qualitatively meaningful than the headlines may imply.

This idea seems remarkably similar to an idea that was popular in Russia about 15 years ago - "reality transurfing" popularized by Vadim Zeland.

The same sort of shaky quantum physics justification is used for it.

It might be reaching but I'd say the Russians that grew up 90's were captivated by this idea perhaps because of the similar desire to escape a bad reality. That time was awful for a lot of them and covid restrictions have a similar sort of hopelessness and helplessness. When you do not feel you can have an affect on the world, it's best to focus on changing your perception of it.

The reality creation in Russia's version notably lacked the application of simply going to some commercialized fictional world. Instead it simply focused on creating your reality - whatever that may be.

> Some of these are successful entertainments but, nonetheless, ones that nobody asked for. I doubt that any child has ever watched the Wicked Witch of the West and thought, “Huh, what’s her story?”

Wicked wasn't aimed at children.

Nor is it even remotely intended as a friendly to the original explanation of backstory, it is a deliberate inversion that is based as much as anything on the insufficient demonstration that the “good” labelled characters in the original are good as anything else.

This whole piece reads as a messy collection of sloppy arguments directed at tendentious misreadings of art that are undergirded by boiling resentment that people dare explore alternatives to established cartoonishly simple good vs evil narratives.

It's so very hard to believe that it would be the notoriously unsophisticated Nigerians¹ pulling off high-end deepfakes. These guys weren't smart enough to use a proxy, but were supposedly smart enough to produce a good deepfake.

If this really happened, there must be some easy to use public tool they used. I'd really love to see the video.

¹ There's no way anyone else would log into a stolen account from a Nigerian IP.
Seems like the logical solution would be an objective academic study, where anonymous trained observers (e.g. present/former loss prevention types) count all the number of thefts. The stores would allow the observers to make the count by whatever means appropriate, e.g. whatever monitoring the stores currently use, additional hidden RF tags that wouldn’t be cost-effective otherwise, etc.. Then anonymize any stats for public release. No attempt would, or would be allowed to, be made by the observers to intervene. When the welfare of an entire City is at stake, it seems a worthwhile activity. For objectivity sake, the academics should be from out of state.

More direct and certified identification of actual theft than comparing units purchased in inventory v. actual purchases of said units. Should make it possible to then quantify thefts by employees v. shoplifters.

Arguing about data gets the City nowhere. Find out what’s actually going on. The sooner, the quicker.

> This is a powerful no-true-scotsman here.

The no-true-scotsman fallacy only applies when an existence proof is sufficient to falsify a statement, not when the question is the central tendency of some group. If you claim "no X is Y", it is sufficient to find an X which is Y, and special pleading when you say the X isn't a true X, implicitly acknowledging your interlocutor has found a counterexample. But when you are make a statement regarding a central tendency -- within Z standard deviations of the mean or some other definition of outlier there are no X which are Y -- then you can't claim the existence of a counterexample is proof of the falsity of the claim. Simply pulling the phrase "no true scotsman" out of your hat isn't a magical incantation that will win the day for you. And adding "powerful" to it doesn't improve its mojo.

As for the rest of it, I'm done.

i think the concept of followers shows that your premise isn't exactly true and people with more followers than just family, friends, and friends of friends is also another clue.

They can do that anyway. They could simply scan your signature, scan the document, and copy-paste your signature onto it before printing it out. With printers being so high resolution, odds are nobody would notice the difference (if they were even paying attention enough in the first place.)

As far as I know, that's actually how these 'high profile' takeovers work. You know someone at Insta and politely ask/silently pay to get your account "back" or take over an "inactive" account.
do these people just guess the passwords? how do instagram, fb, twitter, etc. accounts get hacked?
Aside from all the folks who can download the image one way or another, I'm pretty disappointed that the technique here is simply using a web-server that doesn't work like clients expect. People have broken links or incorrect redirects all the time, but we don't generally make a fuss over them.
> the first issue is that they have a huge backlog of other people they are assisting. so you need to find a way around that

If that is true, that is a deep cut against their account security.
Just made a screenshot
Having an audit log of access (both email and IP address) is extremely useful if someone asks "did this person actually perform the e-signature". You can then perform motions regarding whether their email has compromised and, if needed, go to their ISP for IP assignment records to see if their account (mobile or home internet) was assigned to that IP. Docusign being the source of authority for the validity of the original IP<->signature log completes the chain of trust and allows this sort of validity defense to work.
This needs to be compared to how much was (or was not) invested in bond and money markets compared to previous years.

With everyone expecting rates to rise and seeing the inflationary pressure, it makes sense people choose stocks over bonds or cash equivalents.

I'll take any chance to repost this:

https://testing.googleblog.com/2010/07/code-coverage-goal-80...

That said, it's very easy to write tests that produce high code coverage, but do not test much that is useful (do they assert the things we truly need to check for?). It's also a pointless exercise to try and cover every single branch (e.g. does every defensive error check need to be asserted on?)

It's a delicate balance and I'm sure some people will disagree with this, even.
I smiled a little bit when you say struggle for a whole 2 days. In one of those "get off my lawn" moments, I remember having to send in letter head printed requests via snail mail to take recourse. At the time, the small biz had never printed anything more formal than an invoice, so there really wasn't a letter head. Some of the work around procedures are just farcial when they are there, yet just down right infuriating when they are not.
Far more than just the cost of implementation and selling that, they're also selling the incredible savings of not having to track and sign documents manually.

For a company with a heavy legal, purchasing, or HR department, all of which are very document heavy, having everything automated and electronic saves a ridiculous amount of people-hours and effort.

Actual signed contracts need physically storing (securely), especially in regulated environments, they need passing around, they need to be discovered. Just searching for old contracts is a terrible waste of time and money.

Moving to an all electronic environment allows big savings in not needing a bureaucracy around that document management. Regular members of those departments can get docs distributed, signed, stored, and recalled trivially.

After a year of companies all working remotely, the savings alone of not physically mailing documents around must be a huge chunk of that estimate. If you've ever bought a house, gotten through immigration work with lawyers, signed corporate purchasing agreements, etc. you'll have seen the thick wads of paper that need over-nighting between companies at crazy expense.

Having looked at both DocuSign and HelloSign recently, DocuSign seems to have the better integrations into more corporate systems, and was preferred by our docs heavy departments.

Personally I use Preview on macOS and have never had anyone reject my signature for anything.
What the pol.is appears to do well is provide a topology of opposing viewpoints- identifying the main "teams", finding the contours of agreement and disagreement, "a technology for survey research."

The HN URL describes something more ambitious: a technology for "Large Scale Discussions." This requires iterative steps where representatives from opposing viewpoints ask clarifying / challenging questions of other viewpoints, and collapsing "consensus-achieved" points as summary discussions in a knowledge base.

I've long had `pol.is` as a tool to be used in a 21st century platform for discourse, so the HN title has me excited that you're taking steps in this direction already.

Where should I look to understand "what happens next" after that initial sorting of viewpoints has occurred?

There's an old adage: those who can do, those who can't teach.

There's no magic information you're going to come across to further your career in any sort of literature on software development, or indeed any sort of career in general. Any practical books are verbose versions of framework documentation, coaching books are common sense, others formalising experiential learnings - which are only realised from having that experience itself.

This makes sense; otherwise you could get any Joe Blogs to read a couple of books and become an expert immediately.
