I wanted to comment a little on the "choice" thing. I'm not sure that every person who is unvaccinated chose that. I had to try very hard to get my three doses. For the first series, I had to go to a faraway FEMA-run site. For the booster, I scheduled three appointments with CVS; the first two times, they canceled my appointment on the walk over (I made the first like 3 weeks in advance, and they canceled with 10 minutes notice -- "sorry, we ran out".) I did eventually get that third dose; but each signup took me about 15 minutes of typing in all of my medical information (`insert into form_responses (email, json_blob_that_is_passed_to_the_final_appointment_making_system) ...`?). I imagine some people just gave up after their first appointment was canceled.

I never saw anyone talking about this; the government websites are like "go to CVS, you can just walk in!" but in reality no CVS locations were accepting walk-ins if you asked. And even appointments were tenuous.

I feel like it's fair to place 90% of the blame on individuals, but I also think big companies are misrepresenting themselves to the government, or the government isn't asking if they actually have vaccines or not.

> A larger secondary market leads to more capital being available in the primary market that directly funds new construction that adds housing stock and renovation that prevents its depreciation.

I don’t buy this. The speculators who make-up the secondary market are not the ones who make money by tearing down and building new properties.

There’s no value added to these speculators and is akin to domain squatting.

It probably depends on what adjacent financial products they are selling and how good of a job they are doing at selling those to existing customers. Wealthfront is always suggesting different financial products, cards, etc. There is little money in managing your money since these are mostly served by large funds like Vanguard, but there is a lot of money in referrals selling you other products. It's possible Wealthsimple is doing much better?
I have to remember to do those few clicks, though.

Don't forget the worst gimmick - Krispy Kreme donuts - when we know the vast majority of deaths are in the overweight. These are tricks for monkeys. And a reminder how little they think of you. You know what would have worked? Maybe a little honesty. Maybe treating people as adults and not constantly lying to them, from masks, to virus origin, natural immunity, vaccine risks, and especially treatments. People aren't stupid. I know many who were open to the vaccine once who are digging in to protest now.
That's not the purpose of the census, though. That's a political and social concern, and people can debate the value of that data and who should collect it, but it's not part of the Constitutional mandate to count the number of people.

They love these stocks because they usually have a big short interest. The broker can lend them out and keep the profits for themself.

It’s hard work to do the mappings between cloud pricing web pages and terraform resource params. It took us a week to do it just for S3, which has 50+ cost components. We have a community who are adding the mappings, we’ve developed guidelines and automated tests for them too. We now cover over 200 resources.

Since then, we have partnered with Hashicorp to build out their Run Tasks feature. It's still in beta, but more info about it here: https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/terraform-cloud-run-tasks-bet...

I definitely need to show more examples with videos on the screens.

Currently there's not a great way to share accounts with multiple users other than to buy another account or share your email, but I do plan to add more team collaboration features down the road, especially once I allow people to save projects as templates to use again (soon!).

But if you'd like to change the email on the account to something easier to share we can make that happen, just shoot me an email or chat with the details.

(In the future I may also look at selling these accounts explicitly as limited to a certain number of seats, but for now it's all good if you want to share with your business partner, and you'd be grandfathered in if change things later).
There is. Logging into those accounts is a pain in the ass, and requires active effort to remember doing. Automating things like bill-pay, deposits, and other "set it and forget it" tech is the best thing since sliced bread.
>The difference is that you can opt out of various companies collecting data. Can you opt out of the census?

I'm going to assume that this isn't a rhetorical question.

Yes. Just don't fill out the form. And if the Census folks send folks to your house, you can pretend not to be home, politely ask them to leave, or in states that allow it, shoot such trespassers dead.

In fact, I'd prefer it if those who live in areas that consistently elect folks from $PARTY whose platform is more disagreeable to me do exactly that.

That way, when congressional districts are redrawn, the $PARTY that annoys me more will have a harder time getting elected. Redistricting is, after all, the primary purpose of the Census.

Edit: Less is more.
I mean there were public betas of Longhorn too, and I'd consider that failed internally as well.

I use Wealthfront. Performance vs SPY is comparable, but it can depend on your risk preferences. I like it because it abstracts away the underlying securities & I don’t have to worry about it. I also like their feature that lets you borrow against your portfolio at a fairly low rate (less than 4% for me), which is a painless way to tap into credit if you need to for pick a reason. I think it’s a great option for anyone looking to keep investing as simple as possible.

I don’t disagree but my point is that an uninformed investor would be better off financially with a straight index.

"Don't really work" - they do work, just with varying degrees of effectiveness.

Again, it looks like the vaccinations with booster do still provide some, limited protection against infection and may also reduce viral load reducing infection risks https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2788105
I don't know what are Wealthfront's fee, but not everyone wants to put all their eggs in SPY. Wealthfront (and other similar services) let you pick a risk score, and based on that invest in lots of different things. Most people have very diversified Wealthfront portfolios. They also claim to help with tax harvesting. Since SPY had an amazing run it performed better than your friends' accounts, but it doesn't mean it will keep outperforming in the future. It's a riskier investment.

Now, obviously you can also create a very diversified portfolio by yourself. That's totally fine if you know what you're doing and OK spending the time doing it.
I agree. When I got my first pair roughly two years ago (after years of using various versions bluetooth earbuds you could buy on Amazon for $20) they seemed like magic. Take them out, they automatically and nearly instantly connect, and almost never had any issues.

I just bought v3, and while the sound is noticeably better, the connections are all over the place. At least once a day, the connection simply dies. Multiple times a day it decides to connect to another device that I'm not using. If you answer a call and then put an airpod in your ear, it's got about a 50% chance of connecting, after a multi-second delay. Sometimes it says its connected, but it's not, so the iphone isn't emitting sound from its speakers and nothing is coming out of the airpods, leaving me sounding like an idiot repeating "can you hear me now?" until I manually kill the connection and use the built in speakers. Absolutely infuriating.
> That's a massively more complex implementation for no benefit.

It’s barely complex. It’s a standard dispatch on the accept header, all major web servers handle this out of the box. Also it has the significant benefit of working with existing browsers. On what basis were you making that statement?

> Also it's definitely not enough to set a HTTP header. Need to use a different schema so that the restraints on content can be expressed in the URL of a link.

You can accomplish the same URL transparency by using a file extension convention. E.g. “https://foo.com/my log.gemini”
> If you hate the ad-driven web, bypassing paywalls seems wildly backwards.

I don't think that's totally fair. I would love to be able to pay for a single day of the NY Times or Wall Street Journal, the same way I can buy a copy of the print edition on a given day. But, it's all or nothing with the paywalls - I have to buy a full annual subscription just so I can read half a dozen articles one or two days a week.

I don't think most people are opposed to paying for content - look at kindle sales. But that doesn't mean most people want to commit to an annual subscription that runs in the 100's of dollars.
I reckon it's quite difficult. A lot of the old stuff doesn't really have any money in it, which means no professionalized training, meaning no university textbooks.

My advice - try to break the law on the computer. Not anything super illegal, but try to download a movie or three, see what sort of technology you have to use to get it working good.

If you're just interested in self-hosting, look into sysadmin stuff. I don't think you need programming skills, but maybe some shell scripting etc. Luke Smith on YouTube has a bunch of good videos about that, setting up a website and so on.
This sort of vague "slippery slope" argument can be applied to argue against almost anything.

It is common and logical to regulate activities that could harm those around you. What cars are allowed on the road and who's allowed to drive them is carefully regulated because cars can kill or injure people. You can drive around your property with an unsafe vehicle but if you want to bring it on a public road, it needs to have working brakes and so on. Vaccine are similar because unvaccinated people are more likely to injure those around them.

Who decides? My city recently created a vaccine mandate to dine indoors at a restaurant. It was decided by the city council and the mayor, same as any other law. I think most citizens support it, but if they didn't they have all the usual ways to make that known or overturn it.
Have a look at the WHATWG specs then - this might be a lot like what you want. E.g. Fetch [1].

Effectively, most of the spec could be written in pseudocode, except they expanded each pseudocode line into a complete sentence and annotated the whole thing with markers, links and commentary. The result is the afromentioned "cookbook style".

I'm not sure if this is actually easier to read than pseudocode though.

b) it's a form of brand awareness advertisement targeted at developers, in the context of talent acquisition

c) some developers that work at these companies legitimately want to foster a community around some technical subject

d) for many of these developers it's a multi-purpose avenue of expression, e.g. working on interesting things, displaying technical prowess for potential employers, developing/sharpening skills, etc

e) in some companies, outwards impact is considered a criteria for promotions

As a software engineer I would rather do what your gf does than leetcode problems. I went to school already for six years and don't feel like hanging out on a website for the next six months solving CS problems.

I've always been of the opinion that a take home software engineering project that I can present in the interview would be preferable. Coding alone for a few hours and then being able to get all my ducks lined up.... Sounds like a practical and great interviewing process to me.
The tax savings I get from them is much more than the annual fee. I converted the portfolio to 100% US stocks btw. Sure I can harvest losses myself but that introduces emotion and watching the market carefully.
Would you really want to code on this tiny screen though? I guess some people would, but you'd probably be a lot more comfortable even on a 12" or 10" laptop/netbook.
I had frustrating issues where they would halfway connect, then disconnect, and only a reboot of the Mac would fix it. Finally trawled through system logs to realize that Spotify was preventing it from fully connecting. Apparently, an app can register callbacks of some sort that get called during the connect/handshake/sync process, and those can cause it to fail?

Also, hate how sometimes only one side will charge.
Microsoft didn't lose any lawsuit in the US for for tying its web browser to Windows; the prosecution realized how shaky the argumentation for that'd been and subsequently dropped that claim.
The comparison isn’t really performance. It’s more fee adjusted returns. Obviously Wealthfront likely has an index itself that it uses, but the fees are 10X (0.03 for Fidelity be around 0.3 for Wealthfront).
> Why the heck isnt JPMChase buying one of these platforms?!?]]

Broadly speaking, the retail market can be segmented on two axes: net worth and involvement.

Low net worth, high involvement are day traders: they are profitable through fees, PFOF, et cetera. High net worth, high involvement doesn’t tend to exist long enough to specialise in; they’re, professionals, have better things to do or lose their money.

Low net worth, low involvement is patient capital. Not super profitable per se. But the most likely to develop into the last category: high net worth, low involvement; the money maker.

Robo-advisers targeted the third category. They got more of the first. Those not only bolted to crypto and Robinhood. They also incurred higher costs to the firm while promising less development potential to the fourth category. The actual third category participants, to a large degree, don’t need much more than was available in 1993, or at least are savvy enough not to find themselves paying for it.

Calibre with DeDRM plugin can remove the encryption and DRM. Done this few years ago for my undergrad, it works well. Just import the PDF to Calibre and Calibre will handles it from there (as long you have the DeDRM plugin).

It depends on the encryption being used. If it is coming from Abode Digital Edition, then DeDRM plugin need your credential to decrypt it and convert the file without encryption. It needs your credential since ADE ties the encryption to your credential, so it need that to get the key to decrypt it.

First setup will be a while but once it is properly setup, it will takes seconds to decrypt the encrypted/DRMed PDFs. Even you can print the file without worrying if it will be in garbled mess.
They don't require you buy the device - they merely require apps that run on the device to do certain necessary things, such as drive a motor vehicle, enter certain buildings, use public transportation, etc.

The migration to "Oh we now have mobile enabled -- X" is already happening, with "X" being boarding pass, driver's license, building pass, payment method, etc.

First, it's a convenience, then it becomes a requirement.

At that point, we'll need two devices. One to act like a wallet does now, with all those various passes, permits, and payment methods. For those wealthy enough and who GAF about various issues, that would be a very cheap device and the second device would be your "real" one.

> It's a voluntarily assumed dependency.

No, there's nothing voluntary about it. Why would anyone accept a coal mining job in the 19th century voluntary?

> People being forced by nature to work in order to feed themselves

So what? If that required Capitalist property relations we wouldn't exist now. Indirectly forcing someone give up their freedom to work instead of other social structures is a political choice, to the benefit of the propertied, not some commandment by god or whatever.

> That doesn't give you a right to rob others of their property.

It might? It's not up to the propertied class alone to decide what's a right and what's not. They're obviously looking to protect their privileged position like any nobility or monarch of old times.

There are differences in the Mandarin pronunciations standardized on the Mainland and Taiwan. Most of them involve using the fifth tone or not, but there are a few more noticeable exceptions, like 和 hé ㄏㄢˋ (which would correspond to pinyin hàn) and 崖 yá ㄧㄞˊ (which would correspond to pinyin yái).

Stuff like that occasionally trips me up when switching between pinyin and zhuyin.

Isn't it more of a slippery slope? I want to be able run whatever I want on my system. If I get malicious code, who's fault is it?

Who is this real Unix Developer? The Linux Kernel has a stelar track record, just the towers of complexity built around it are growing like the weeds. The kernel isn't making it easy, hardware developers don't play nice, and every one wannabe expert wants it to be just working.

There's the actual "No True Scotsman", because capability based kernels exist for a long time now. Yet, users want something to work with, actual software that needs to be written, that doesn't even have to be in C.

The expressed sentiment is entirely independent of the domain. You simply need to know what you are doing or things won't move forward. It's only consequential that those whom rely on Unixoid systems for whichever reason do express this sentiment in terms of those systems.

The alternative are walled gardens, where criticizm is impossible. Because with secure boot and the like it would require breaking the system to take control.

I'm vaccinated and boostered by my own choice

Great! The problem is that vaccines don't protect society unless a critical-mass of people are vaccinated. The estimate for COVID-19 is that roughly 70% to 85% of the population will need to be vaccinated to reach the herd immunity threshold. USA is at about 63% fully vaccinated (76% had at least one dose).

where does it end?

It ends when the the threat subsides.

Why this mandate and not other mandates?

This mandate related to COVID-19 which has killed (at least) 870,837 people in America, and 5,614,744 people worldwide.

Who gets to decide that?

The people you elect to represent you (for those of us with a democracy-like government)
