Is there any brokerage who’s terms of service or fraud liability protections aren’t entirely waived by using a service like this? Do end users provide the credentials for their brokerage accounts?

I can’t imagine any infosec officer or general counsel at a brokerage agreeing to screen scraped data collection. They already get enough legal threats for bad pricing / bad execution, this would be an entirely new can of worms.
There are at least two startups which are re-implementing something like zanzibar. In my experience, RBAC is too simplistic for even not so advanced apps. For example, with RBAC alone you can't express «User X can edit object Y», if object Y is one of many objects in a collection. Zanzibar – and any system building on top of tuples (subject, relation, object) – can express that quite intuitively.
You might like the book "Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony." It makes the case that there is a long history of differentiating sharps and flats in western music (flats are just a bit sharper than sharps), while arguing that in practice the whole tone was subdivided into nine parts, with the major and minor half steps respectively 5 or 4 of those nine parts. I don't think the precise tuning system described by the book really happened, but it does collect evidence that "enharmonic" used to mean "finesse your intonation to make this sharp be that flat."

In my own experimentation, the just intonation intervals are jarringly perfect, and I'd say that the 5:4 major third is too narrow. Has anyone checked that barbershop quartets are actually singing such narrow major thirds? My understand is that many studies have shown that string instrumentalists and singers, even when they claim to be using just intonation, play their major thirds somewhere between 5:4 and equal temperament.

It's also extraordinarly difficult to really tune basic harmony justly. The ii V I progression is a fun one... if you're not careful you shift the tonic by a syntonic comma.
I can't tell if this is sacarstic or not but I decided to do the math.

I think if we every have to worry about this it becomes more a question of where are we going? And do we have enough carbon to cycle for fuel to do this.
I feel like what most people consider "risk" is more "fear of unfamiliar outcomes". To a gambler, a "risky" bet in a card game doesn't feel like it because both outcomes, winning and losing, are familiar. However that same gambler might not want to risk a smaller amount of money, even if the odds were better, in an unfamiliar situation.

So my advice is find safe ways to become familiar with the outcomes. Put yourself in situations where you will fail, or most likely will, but the stakes are low enough that it doesn't matter.

If you're worried about risking your time and energy on a side project, do a weekend version of it first. Find contests, hackathons, challenges that provide a scaled down, structured version of whatever you want to do and do those. Immerse yourself in the space (don't pretend to be an expert, just learn all you can), help people on related projects, and soon enough it won't feel risky anymore, you'll have a realistic intuition of the outcomes.

Also, beware of letting FOMO and envy motivate you. Those evaporate quickly.
Yeah, just like Apple did.
It's been a long time for me too, but I went to a school with a well regarded MIS program and I interacted with a lot of MIS people.

I'm saying this wery lightheartedly - I felt like 80% of the people in MIS programs where people who needed (because society dictates you have to get a degree) to go to college and didn't care really care about tech or business, but they need a degree so why not both? 10% were people who should have majored in CS or Business, but for some reason didn't realize it early enough in their college journey and they didn't want to redo 1-2 years of coursework. The other 10% were destined to become the a$$hole VPs/SVPs who everybody hates, and the MIS degree was just another step to world domination and them self-justifying that they have a "technical" background.

>Companies typically treat it as equivalent to a CS degree.

I don't think this is true at all unless the company is one of those who hires SWEs who don't really do any actual software engineering.

We agree that the consequences from speaking freely are not always nice but, sometimes, when you want to make a political point, you expose yourself.

For the past couple years, I've been harassed by supporters of Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, who I consider an imbecile and a fascist who endangers the young democracy of the country I grew up. Happily, I live in a place with a functional police and none of the threats have resulted in any concrete action, but, still, it's annoying, specially since I still have family in Brazil.

Is it the same URL as what was saved in the login? If not, then this is intended behaviour to stop phishing attacks and has saved my butt several times. If the autofill doesn't work, either the website has changed the base URL, I've misconfigured it, or it is a phishing site

>It doesn't matter WHY nuclear is most expensive energy, it matters that it is and we have technology that is both cheaper and cleaner to replace it.

That is a absurd thing to say. If the reason is "because we intentionally made it that way" then of course it matters because we can address that reason with the (nearly free) stroke of a pen.
These are caused by this:

> Lack of experienced team members, across all disciplines (lack of knowledge?)

You learn to balance these things from being experienced enough to have shot yourself in the foot by each a few times, or having studied history enough and apprenticed under a expert who explained their decisions in detail.

Edit: except in the case where the problem stems from management not listening to the experienced experts, in that case nothing you can do but leave really.
If it is true (that it has little to do with genetics and childhood education - I kinda treat childhood education the same as genetics because you don't get to choose and are forced upon you), how does one do it? There must be some scientific research on it. Would love to see some long-term (5Y+) follow-up research.

I always found growing strong discipline from thin air similar to pulling one's hair to leave the ground.
In modify there are "brighten", "tint", and "lighten", and for uninitiated like me the difference seems pretty vague. I suppose they refer to some similar operations in different colorspaces, but the tool could be more intuitive here.

The nerd in me would wish that the tool would use primarily some top-tier colorspace like oklab, but I can understand why you didn't want to go down in that rabbithole.

But isn’t that extremely far from current reality? I mean is there really free energy? And even solar, wind and nuclear is not without environmental and economical impact. Shouldn’t we focus on trying to optimize our energy use and to try to do as much utility as possible with as little energy as possible?
python:

So your argument is that we should remove safety requirements for Nuclear until it kills as many per year as other energy sources?

Crazy requirements like being able to survive a 1-10000 earthquake and etc seem overly cumbersome until it happens. Sure a giant oil spill is not great but you were allowed to go to the Gulf of Mexico post-spill(s) and not so much for Chernobyl. So the DOE should keep its red tape so it can keep its (better than the military, see Spain) record with nuclear power.
Precisely!

Look at ~2001/02 -- ENRON...

My energy bill went from $100/mo to over $1,000/mo for NO REASON..

My power was shut off in february because my regular energy bill literally went up 10X during that period (no change in use) -- and I was ~25 and it was the first downturn, and while I owned my house - I had to borrow money from parents to pay the fucking power bill due to enron shenanigans... (san jose ca, so not even super cold/winter conditions)

--

Look at fuel prices right now - same fuckery about today: When the war started and fuel went to $90/barrel - the gas pump first time ever went to $3/gallon...

Look at fuel prices today $92/barrel --

$5.19 at the pump.

Yeah - FN BS.
> If you consider an alternative history where the US army invades main land Japan, you have been a massacre of epic proportions.

Ground invasion vs. atomic bombings is a false dichotomy.

Quoting the US strategic bombing survey:
"Based on a detailed investigation of all the facts, and supported by the testimony of the surviving Japanese leaders involved, it is the Survey's opinion that certainly prior to 31 December 1945, and in all probability prior to 1 November 1945, Japan would have surrendered even if the atomic bombs had not been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war, and even if no invasion had been planned or contemplated."

I think this is a distinction that only matters if your definition of rules is such that they can never be broken or played with. That's not typically the way I think of rules, and I don't think I'm alone in that. Even programmers understand that a lot of programming "rules" are actually just heuristics about how to produce good code.

As another example, I've spent a ton of time learning game design rules, and all of them are optional, but they're still useful. "Rules" in this context means, yes, communicative terminology, but communicative terminology about particularly effective ways to build commonly understood musical motifs/phrases that affect Western listeners in somewhat predictable ways.

Music theory is a language for talking about a language, music itself. It is partially social convention that leads us to have a 12 tone scale, and it is definitely social convention that leads us to call that a "scale". However, the average Western listener will respond to the notes of that scale in predictable ways, and there are "rules" that you can learn that will allow you to more easily and predictably manipulate that listener's emotions and communicate broader ideas through your music -- many of those underlying rules about tuning, ratios between notes, and so on are derivable from mathematical principles or at least describable in mathematical terms, even if ultimately the reason why listeners respond to some of those ratios is social and arbitrary.

Of course, the rules are not concrete or immutable, they can be broken and often are. But the majority of rules we learn in most subjects are not concrete.

Similarly, there are no concrete rules in writing, and the terminology we use to describe story structure is arbitrary and made up. However, learning the "rules" of writing will make you a better writer for typical audiences that live near you, and those rules are expressed through common set of terms and concepts that many professional/hobby writers have decided to use -- many of which can be partially derived or explained by talking about psychology or history or whatever.

Sure, these are not immutable, scientific principles baked into the heart of the universe, but:

A) the author goes out of her way to say that she isn't claiming that, and

B) breaking down rules and building them back up from different starting points or looking at them mathematically is still a reasonable thing to do with rules that have a social origin, and

C) even though a lot of why certain chords sound good is baked into culture rather than biology, it's also a kind of strong claim to say that all of it is purely social. But I don't think it would matter much even if it was purely social, people who do music theory for a living still talk about math sometimes.
There may be harm in diverting human resources from uses that are more productive in the long term. The best arguments I've heard for minimum wage run in a similar vein, and perhaps there's some parallels to the "resource curse".
Launching into the sun is a VERY difficult achievement. So far we've launched one solar probe, and dozens of other probes. It launched back in 2018, and still has 3.5 years before it will actually reach the sun.

>Do you think you could find even one?

China

>I'd buy this if there would be a stable totalitarian state that's doing well in terms of productivity and human rights.

China is still an example. Human rights is also a matter of perspective. You have to realize from Chinas' perspective what they are doing is correct. The western media sort of paints a one sided story here. Although I totally agree that China is overall wrong in their actions here, there is still an alternative perspective that needs to be considered if you want your opinion to be as unbiased as possible.

Consider this. Did you know that Chinas actions towards the Uyghurs were caused by domestic terror attacks? The US reaction of going into an all out 2 decade long war for a terrorist attack is not far off from Chinas reaction. China is definitely wrong to make re-education camps, though I will argue much more people were slaughtered as a result of armed conflict from the US reaction then the amount of people who died as the result of being placed in re-education camps.

Not justifying anything for China here. I disagree with them. But if you didn't know about what I told you above then it likely means your information source(s) is/are biased.

All in all, I still believe China is an example of a totalitarian government ruled by an imperfect person, but he is definitely not a psychopath.

Singapore is another example of a more totalitarian government. Less biased media coverage on them though because they're not really an economic rival to the united states.

Now I want to caveat what I wrote here with some perspective. Don't take sides. Don't have extreme opinions on anything. Politics is complicated and you should view the world through the lens of complexity rather then through a lens of they're right or they're wrong.

Well it would have a unit, call it parsecs or whatever, and individuals would configure their wallets to hold it at some percentage. If I'm a space nerd maybe I keep 50% of my wealth in parsecs, or if I think space exploration is a misallocation of resources maybe I keep 0% of it in parsecs.
The same goes for the piano keyboard. It's an absolutely terrible design for what it tries to do but it is so entrenched it will be there long after querty has died.
Once had a problem where customers complained about an app keep crashing and losing minutes or hours of work. Boiled down to a "null reference" in C++. Programmer responsible argued till blue in the face that his code could not have a bug because references (&) cannot be null. Of course they can.

Rust, at least, requires that this happens in unsafe code, but for sure, a bug in unsafe code can lead to null references. We are doing noobs a disservice if we claim otherwise.
> It’s very telling that you’re ignoring half of my questions in every response.

I've enjoyed this thread but I can only provide it so much time and effort. Hopefully, you will find other sources to help answer your questions.

> Who is forcing them to transition? Is it the government? Why did the government change currencies to crypto, without aiding their citizens?

Free markets & will-toward-freedom forces the change. In theory, governments could accumulate crypto now and airdrop it to citizens later.

> Again, you’ve ignored my question about supply and how to sustainably on-ramp the entire world populace into crypto.

There is no such God-like control over this transition. I've clearly stated that I don't believe it will be pretty and equitable. It will be messy and chaotic.
Are vaccine mandates defensible?
I never said that it was necessarily a smart way to think about it. But just as we don't reach the periodic table by taking children through every process and discovery that led to uncovering a new element, it's not necessary to teach this subject (whatever we call it) as a historical process either.

I certainly agree that historical context has always been central to the way music has developed. It's not for nothing that most of Europe refers to "the church modes" rather than using a more abstract term for a set of interval rotations. But that historical context is only absolutely necessary if you want to try to understand why music evolved in the way that it did. It's not necessary if your goal is to understand the way we understand, compose and perform music today.

Of course, I'm all for more understanding of music, so I'd favor historical context every time. It's just that it's not a necessary feature for understanding where we currently are.
Marketing people aren't free either. I'd rather have that money go towards browser development.
I did some back of the napkin math,
USA generates about 2000 tons of nuclear waste a year[1] and it costs DOE half a billion dollars to store it[2].

Instead as you said we could yeet it all into space with like 20 starship launches, taking the $100/kg price tag it would cost us 2 million dollars to send it to space. Starship electronics should be radiation hardened so the unique payload shouldn't affect it much.
The only risk is starship blowing up during launch. That would be a bummer.

There's already a paper discussing this[3].

I love the last line in the paper

'Both the technology and the need exist.
What does not yet exist is the will and support of
the engineering and political communities'

Mind you this came out in 1992, we have far better technology now.

I’ll add a “me too” comment as well as add that I’d expect to be able to have what is essentially a multi line password field where the contents are obscured.

Or a special feature to transform a set of OTP recovery codes into separate password fields so I can easily copy just one and then remove it without having to edit a multiline field to remove the one I just used.
Wait, are you saying that people were lying in all those cryptocurrency threads when they told us that “excess electricity” doesn’t exist?

Shocking.
It's only half revisionism. They really did "change the definition" in some sources, but we had all accepted antigen vaccines that only prevent symptoms already. No one was saying "according to the dictionary, the tetanus shot technically isn't a vaccine!", as far as I know.
Based on the public record, I don't think the original commenter's statement was unreasonable or mistaken. And they have provided extensive additional documentation on a separate comment supporting the assertion.

Based on Pichai being the senior executive at Google responsible for Chrome browser and search defaults, as a matter of public record he held corporate responsibility for getting google search as the default search engine on as many devices as possible.

You stated that the original commenter was mistaken with no supporting evidence and a high level of acrimony in your phrasing. I'd be interested to see supporting evidence for why you think the commenter was mistaken, in the context of the other resources they provided.

Why in the heck is Firefox trying to sell itself as something you use to "show your true colors"? That promotional video tells me nothing other than that Disney has another movie coming out. Is it referring to installing themes/skins? This just seems way out of touch, in which case Disney is the right company for Mozilla.
Depends on your definition of "best".
Programming for 128K takes massive skill. Having multiple gigabytes allows more people to participate, and to prioritize other attributes than "low memory", typically faster and cheaper. So you get say a better UX, with better error handling, for less money.

Which one is "best"? Well depends if you are skills & money rich, or skills and money poor. Clearly both are best, depending on what you are optimizing for.

Up to now launches have been highly optimized for weight. Optimizing for other priorities (like cost) will change the rules of the game.
For context, the Hanford reactor was built during ww2; around the same age as the presidential candidates from the 2020 USA election.

Its also an accounting misunderstanding. Nuclear power has huge fixed costs and negligible variable costs. If a station costs $1B/yr that's 3mil/day to keep running. If network power is cheap today and the plant will only make 2mil it is making a loss only if you distribute the fixed across evenly, its contribution margin still makes it worthwhile to run on those days as you aren't saving much money by turning it off.
It also would heavily advantage power plants that could turn on and off quickly to only produce power when the cost of that power is high.

Especially if these plants produced a lot of pollution that was also not accounted for.
I didn't account for the decreased gravity over time as you chip away at the planet. Woops!
