I'm not so sure about this article. Yeah the modern web is a commercialized hellscape now, but there are pockets of resistance if you know where to look, and alternative search engines we can leverage to unearth gems. Think Qwant, Mojeek, Marginalia, hell even Tor has plenty of programming blogs/chans & search engines that remind me of the early Internet. The web is still a rabbithole to get lost in. You have to make the web work for you, and try to escape your comfort zone or bubble.

Truly amazing how well that worked out. I sat watching in disbelief while his returns in a week were more than mine over the last 2 years. Nevertheless I'm content with the steady path of passive investing + my algotrading models guiding my hedging decisions.

It's the best of both worlds to me, I don't have to pick stocks or worry about the markets because the models tell me when it's time to hedge. My strongest model (https://grizzlybulls.com/models/vix-ta-macro-mp-extreme) has returned > 70% ROI since April 2020, and 60% ROI longer term in the backtest with much lower volatility than the market as a whole.

GDPR encourages pseudonymization as a best practice, but also draws a sharp distinction between anonymous and pseudonymous data. Pseudonymous data is still personal data and subject to all other obligations under GDPR. Any data that's pseudonymous would still be subject to the deletion order.

You probably meant to write either "optED-out by default" or "opt-in default", right?

"Relatively" and "new" being very... Relative in this case :) I remember writing client-side web applications (SPAs before they were called SPAs) in 2008/2009 where we did this because tying loading resources based on the URL (compared to the opposite of loading a resource then manipulating the URL) was so obvious, wouldn't surprise me if the practice was older than that as well.

In terms of how fast the web moves forward, I'd say it's not very "new", but in terms of anything else, yeah I guess it is relatively new :)

No, and that's exactly my point. The opposite problem is something the Fed is concerned about!

Matt Levine wrote a great article explaining how stablecoins could actually be too safe, and that concerns the Fed, possibly to the point of action [0]:

> A less obvious risk of stablecoins is that they might be too stable. A stablecoin is, among other things, a substitute for putting money in a bank. Banks are generally very safe places to put money, but they are not perfectly safe. There can be runs on banks; banks can fail. For most U.S. retail bank accounts this is not a very salient problem, since they are backed by government deposit insurance, but many large institutional pools of money (corporate cash accounts, money-market funds, etc.) park their money in short-term bank instruments and are sensitive to risk. If a bank gets riskier, it will lose deposits. And if a stablecoin is so stable that it is safer than a bank, then banks generally will lose deposits.

> Why is this a risk? Well, banks do useful stuff. Classically, they take people’s deposits and lend them out to other people to start businesses and buy homes. The provision of credit by banks helps the economy grow. More to the point, the withdrawal of credit by banks hurts the economy, and the risk here is wrong-way. If people get nervous about banks and pull out all their money to put it in safer stablecoins, then (1) that will probably happen at a time when the economy is shaky and (2) that will definitely make the economy shakier. The bulk of the response to the 2008 financial crisis involved preventing runs on banks, because those would have made all of the problems of the crisis much worse.

The critics are asking for something that's a little ridiculous and not in line with a) how banking works or b) accurate according to what the definitions of "attestation" and "audit" means in accounting.

Full title: Historical Assessment of Nonpharmaceutical Disease Containment Strategies Employed by Selected U.S. Communities During the Second Wave of the 1918-1920 Influenza Pandemic

This was a detailed investigation of how various containment strategies played out in several particular US communities. If you are interested in the history of the Spanish Influenza pandemic, it is worth reading because they identified several inaccuracies in the standard accounts.

The Markel report was one of the most frequently cited documents in early 2020, when officials were debating how to respond to COVID-19. Some people believe that officials deliberately misled the public when they said there was no benefit to public mask-wearing, but they appear to have been honestly relating what they read.

From the executive summary of the report:

...we have reached two major conclusions:

(1) Protective sequestration (the shielding of a defined and still healthy group of people from the risk of infection from outsiders), if enacted early enough in the pandemic, crafted so as to encourage the compliance of the population involved without draconian enforcement measures, and continued for the lengthy period of time at which the area is at risk, stands the best chance of protection against infection...

(2) Available data from the second wave of the 1918-1920 influenza pandemic fail to show that any other NPI (apart from protective sequestration) was, or was not, effective in helping to contain the spread of the virus...Moreover, we could not locate any consistent, reliable data that would support the conclusion that face masks, as available and as worn during the 1918-1920 influenza pandemic, conferred any protection to the populations that wore them.

They also published a brief summary: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17326953/
Yes, it seems like it:

"We support two types of variables, one is Custom Variables which is defined by user and can be further divided into Environment Variables, File Variables and Request Variables, the other is System Variables which is a predefined set of variables out-of-box."

However, what I can't figure out is if it supports programmatic variable setting. I have an API where I need to retrieve a token from an endpoint before using it for every other endpoint, and I'm using Postman's test scripts to set that token as an environment variable before sending all the other requests so they can all use it. I don't see a way to replicate that with this extension.
Just by downloading recent data without any prior knowledge of your location (aside of maybe determining which continent you're on, which most of the time is already known because of which cellular network you're connected to), you can usually easily reduce that to around a minute with no WiFi, BT or cellular triangulation necessary - and that's on a cold start; hot start will be instantaneous anyway.

> the SEC investigated and even put out a report showing that the majority of that price movement was from non-short sellers (e.g. retail) and that as a proportion of volume, barely any of it was due to short sellers closing their positions.

That's talking about the longer lasting effects (i.e. the reason GME stayed at $100+)

but from p26:

> particularly during the earlier rise from January 22 to 27 the price of GME rose as the short interest decreased. Staff also observed discrete periods of sharp price increases during which accounts held by firms known to the staff to be covering short interest in GME were actively buying large volumes of GME shares, in some cases accounting for very significant portions of the net buying pressure during a period

The run up to $500 was almost certainly a short squeeze

A lot of people that go full-on cuckoo bananas conspiracy theorist start out with a realization like "big pharma is pushing opioids on the people, killing thousands, just to line their pockets", and then gradually slide towards things like "Bill Gates wants to microchip people so he can control their brains". It's not like they go from 0 to 100 in a single step.

The best metaphor I can come up with is the event horizon of a black hole. To an outside observer, it's a very sharp line indeed. But to somebody falling into a black hole, Wikipedia tells me, it is impossible to tell when they cross the event horizon. If you only observe specific points, there is a clear line between sane and crazy; but if you move between these points, you probably don't perceive that line as you approach and cross it.

And human beings have a strong tendency, once they accept some kind of belief, to interpret all evidence/observations so as to support that belief, even if it seems to prove the exact opposite to someone who doesn't share that belief.

If a bicyclist does something wrong, all cyclists are bad. If a driver does something stupid, that driver is stupid.

People complain daily about the bad drivers they face during their commute. But that's quickly forgotten. That one time a cyclist did something wrong, however, is etched into memory.

Drivers (not cars) kill an incredible amount of people every year, while cyclists virtually none. Cars pollute, make noise, destroys cities.

And still, people go out of their way to harass cyclists every chance they get. Weird how that works.

Don’t most national healthcare programs also add in collective bargaining?

I can’t imagine it’d be possible to support on state coffers alone without that.
Having the state double income tax and then using those funds to pay for healthcare does not suddenly make it “affordable”. We need to address the underlying costs of healthcare in the US, we are paying much more than other Western Nations. Do that, maybe there is a chance of affordability.
IME: For simple automations, HA UI is far easier. For complex ones, if you want a GUI, node-red, if you want to handwrite scripts, HA. If you don’t care it really depends, in some cases coding them is easier, in some cases node-red is easier.

But then this is about Node-Red integrated into HA.

Which is exactly how the code was intended to work. Firefox did not design their software to hang in the event of telementry losing internet access.

I don't know firefox's internal architecture or its development, what follows is pure conjecture.

Their intention seems to be to slowly migrate the codebase from C++ to Rust. That telemetry is the only function to so far rely on their new rust networking library viaduct (and thus trigger the bug) could be because they wanted use their least important fucntionality as a test bed. In which case, if there wasn't any telemetry, a different piece of code would have been migrated to rust first and triggered this same bug. Without the telemtry, it would have presumably taken them longer to realise that things had broken, let alone resolve it.

Sorry, but I'm not persuaded. Does some tech take a while to develop? Sure. But some tech never develops. If you're only including happy-path examples, that's a biased sample. If you're trying to do analysis and not propaganda, you have to look at both routes and see what the differentiators are.

If you want to suggest this time it's different, you have to explain why it's different. My point is pretty simple: Stereoscopic 3D is an attractive nuisance. There are many times historically people have confused its admitted novelty value with actual utility. There is every reason to think this is one of those times.

Facehugger VR is a marriage of two concepts: 3D virtual worlds and stereoscopic imaging. There is lots of proof that the first is hotly desired; anybody who has tried to pry a kid away from Minecraft or Roblox knows that, and I was the same way with Doom and Quake. But there is very little evidence that stereoscopic 3D has more than novelty value. And there's 150 years of evidence that people, even very smart people, confuse that novelty value with something that will last.

12, that included the semitones. Very easy to verify that on a piano, wouldn't you agree? I'm talking about conventional western music here. Also, changing the backing chords doesn't actually change the melody, just makes it sound different. I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think this kind of argument would fly in court. In fact there are historical precedents - like Huey Lewis vs Ghost Busters song.
Agreed. I'm not sure if you meant rose tinted glasses regarding the internet or search, but it's definitely both. People forget that google results felt amazing because they were so much better than other search... But also forgot how often they weren't great.
> there is no reason that Firefox cannot just keep an fd on the resource files open and use that instead of the updated files

If you check what processes you've running, you'll see that firefox has many of them. I'm not going to grep the sources but I believe the ones with the "-contentproc" flag are started with an exec call as needed, and I'm not aware of an exec that works with fds. It requires a path, it executes the binary at that path, and that binary in turn loads a bunch of files it needs. It's all going to blow up if your parent and child processes are running different versions of the program.

Keeping parts of a program compatible with arbitrary versions of other parts of the same program is virtually impossible. Go ahead, checkout 50% of your files from some random version of your project thousands of commits ago while keeping the rest at master, and see if it still compiles and runs correctly.
> New accounts producing viral livestreams are a hotbed for spam and scams

Which is why spammers & scammers compromise existing channels and stream there. It happened to one I'm subscribed to; they completely renamed the channel and started broadcasting what looked like a crypto newscast which I'm sure eventually pivoted to a promotion for some scam.
There's definitely some that are. I pet sitted the cat of a friend which had a feeder and the cat always tried to do the same technic of putting his paw into it and it never worked. The crazy thing is that it was clearly a cheap product as it was powered by USB and both side of the cable was USB A.
I thought this was a really elegant summary and powerful metaphor that helped me understand the perspective of people who believe it's a problem, even though it didn't change my position and attitude toward its applicability. The idea of "civilization" as a prison (babylon) is a very rich idea in rastafarian culture on whose shoulders dancehall stands.

If you know dancehall and even an outsiders view of rasta culture, I read the article as using a bit of trivia as an attempt at a kind of ideological castration of dancehall music by retelling its origins and attributing credit for it not to a black rastafarian man in Jamaica, but to an asian woman in Japan. Rastafarian masculinity is problematic for american black progressives, and the article seemed consitent with their cultural unmooring project.

While the objection to the metaphor a reasonable challenge - that the metaphor has underlying complexity doesn't diminish it for me.
