I occasionally come across this argument that there is no gravity on anything in space (orbit). Their reasoning is that the gravitational force is canceled out by centrifugal force.

You could say that the forces cancel out, if you consider pseudo-forces like centrifugal force or Coriolis force as real forces. However, that view sometimes lead to very misleading notions like 'there is no gravity in space'. It also makes explanation of other phenomena like tidal forces needlessly complicated. For this reason alone, I discourage people from analyzing in non-inertial frames. Inertial frames make life simpler and clearer by removing caveats on Newton's second law. You no longer need to invent imaginary forces.

A potential interesting alternative comes from the low-volatility anomaly. Stocks that demonstrate low volatility tend to over-perform over long stretches of time.

So if one was able to invest in low-volatility index funds, the article's author would theoretically be able to avoid the massive bubble swings while still potentially beating the market (albeit probably not by large margins).
After fifteen years of Rails cumulating with my dream job at Apple, I quit to build furniture with zero experience. Here’s what has helped me:

- Find the best people in your new industry and reach out to them. I’m spending four days with a master builder next month after reaching out on their contact us form.

- Join local trade associations, go to meetings, and offer to volunteer. Your unique background may offer a unique set of skills.

- Acknowledge that it will be difficult and possibly uncomfortable at times.

- Have twelve months living expenses in cash savings.

Good luck!

You can't look at a chart of an index price and simply say "it's down from the peak, I would have lost money". If you do that, you are forgetting that stocks pay dividends, and they aren't included in the index price.

Instead, you should be looking at index tracking fund / ETF prices, which will include the value of dividends (and also account for fees).
Are there any Speedometer benchmark results for the M1 Ultra yet? I've looked, but haven't found any.

I'm not a Ubuntu user anymore, but I still want to give my opinion: I hate staying behind on updates. I'd rather have it break a few days after release than postpone the trouble and wait until EOL. But that's just me. From my experience, the Ubuntu update process goes smoothly.

Take a glance at the changes[1] and see what you want to do. Either way, I'd recommend not postponing until EOL. I'd just recommend to wait a few weeks in order for the developers to iron out some of the bugs that usually come out on the first few days, and you're good to go.

That tilde combo thing is why I only use 60% and 65% keyboards that offer the layout option known as “split backspace” — that is, the backspace key is moved moved down to where the pipe/backslash key normally is, and in backspace’s normal position there’s two 1u keys: pipe/backslash and tilde/grave. This also makes backspace easier to reach for my small-medium sized hands, which I didn’t know was a problem until I tried a split backspace board for a while.

In a similar vein, I also find split right shift which carves 1u off the right end of the right shift key to add an Fn key nice for improving quality of life on 60/65% boards. For me that Fn positioning is much more natural, plus it puts that duty on my right hand which is typically much less loaded down with modifiers than my left hand is.

Both adverse and averse are used to indicate opposition. Adverse, usually applied to things, often means "harmful" or "unfavorable" and is used in instances like "adverse effects from the medication." Averse usually applies to people and means "having a feeling of distaste or dislike." It is often used with to or from to describe someone having an aversion to something specific, such as "he is averse to taking risks" or "he is risk averse."

There's something really insidious about tying 401ks and other retirement accounts to the stock market. People including myself end up with a large portion of our assets essentially gambled on the future success of US corporations.

> I thought being indistinguishable from true random is one of the requirements of a CSPRNG

It's still secure in a way that, for example a cipher that in theory gives you a security guarantee or margin of 160 bits (which means assuming no further reseeding you need around 2^160 bits before losing security guarantees) is reduced to around 128 bits (which means assuming no further reseeding you now only need around 2^128 bits before losing security guarantees). It shouldn't happen in practice (constant reseeding) but some symmetric ciphers paired with CTR_DRBG (Triple DES) makes reading its state a lot easier, especially on systems where they don't frequently reseed (note that this algorithm was invented in the late '90s, so practices now seen as obvious security blunders aren't being avoided).
> can only be exploited by people with massive resources

Not true. Unrealistic pegs paired with reams of floating-rate debt always break. See the Asian and Russian Financial Crises [1][2].

We discuss those as financial crises, not a man breaking a central bank, because they (a) don’t have a narratively-convenient antagonist and (b) aren’t Western central banks.

Extending Copper Interconnects to 2nm
I only read about a 1/3 of it, but I appreciated that the part I did read was not overly political.

I will note that the author like many making "freedom of speech" arguments fundamentally mistakes what that means, at least in the context of US law.

American "freedom of speech" is specifically not the right to say whatever you please with absolutely no ramification, that people (not the government) listening to your speech have no right to react to it and thus ironically depriving the audience of their freedom of speech.

This is of course the "free speech" some want. The ability to voice their views/truths/lies and silence countering views/truths/lies as some sort of censorship of their original speech.

To be clear, this is not what "freedom of speech" in the US is or has ever been. I feel like the anonymity of internet speech has confused some into believing that all speech is fair game and that no speech should have a negative consequence.

"Left Wing Cancel Culture" is at it's core is a free speech reaction to someone else's free speech. This is fundamentally no different than "Right Wing Dog Piling" or voting in elections for that matter.

People can (within some generous limits) say what they want to say without fear that the government is going to arrest them. This is a great American Freedom as many living under totalitarian systems will tell you. People who do say what they want must accept that speech is fundamentally persuasive and that people will react to it. In fact, that was likely the entire motivation for the speech in the first place.

No place and certainly not the US has ever held that all speech is good speech and must be embraced without any negative reaction.

K, but what I really meant to say was rather why do the bottle return thing at all, if you could have a few standard bottles which last decades, and fill them at the store, supermarket, etc. from kegs, canisters, and return only those, instead of single bottles?

Edit: where the kegs/canisters take the part of standardized liquid containers, as it is common in gastronomy already?

Just need to have a machine which can do the refills from store to longlife bottle quickly and clean at the store.

Editedit: Trying a braindump, from my impressions over the past decades, even long before "Grüner Punkt" and other return systems, just regarding bottles.

In larger supermarkets, and stores specializing in selling bottled stuff, there are always large areas for the returns, inside and outside. All for gathering and storing that stuff, to send it back to whereever and whenever. Sometimes with larger forklifts, stacking pallets/boxes 3 storeys high. (about 9 to 12 pallets, or boxes)

This is the cult of the bottle! Make work!

As for the origins, I don’t know; you can research it, but the appeal of buying an option is that downside is capped at the price of the option, with unlimited upside, at it lets you make leveraged bets on price movements either to make more money, or as a form of insurance.

For example, Mark Cuban famously used options to lock in his Yahoo stock value.

Market makers often sell the contracts (or buy them). An example of one is Citadel. Brokers route your orders to exchanges where this happens. Sometimes you might get your order matched with a retail counterparty, especially if you deliberately avoid crossing the spread.

> Apparently

> ethnic Russians were being killed in Ukraine

Far, far more ethnic Russians were not being killed in Ukraine.

Sure, some of the instigators, perpetrators, and fellow travellers of the armed insurrection in East Ukraine are (or were) ethnic Russians, but they:

A) Are being killed for being armed insurrectionists, not for being ethnic Russians.

B) Are (or were) themselves killing ethnic Ukrainians in the course of their armed insurrection.

C) Probably themselves killed quite a few ethnically Russian members of the Ukrainian armed forces.

> (or they have been the last 8 years,

Yeah, exactly: Since they started an armed insurrection.

> but more serious shelling started on February 17, 2022)

Oh, what a convenient date.

> and that is why Russia invaded.

Putler says that is why Russia invaded.

Oh: And so do you. Coincidence?
I’m using this shell daily, because it also works very well on Windows out of the box, without installing Cygwin or MSYS. (Yes, and I’m not using cmd because it’s frankly shit, and Powershell is just too weird to get accustomed to.)

The other option for Windows users for a sane, usable shell is busybox-w32 (https://frippery.org/busybox). But then you miss out on any of the fancy autocompletion or syntax highlighting, which is what I’m primarily using nu-shell for, I haven’t even tried their structural data stuff yet and it’s already good as a Windows shell!

The author uses Buffets essay to justify value investing over index funds, but Buffet is a strong proponent of index funds for non professional investors.

Instead of stock picking, Buffett suggested investing in a low-cost index fund. “I recommend the S&P 500 index fund,” Buffett said, which holds 500 of the largest companies in the U.S., “and have for a long, long time to people.”

He’s even putting 90% of his own estate into index funds.

> My whole life I was taught that trying to cure seasonal flu with vaccine is silly because the flu mutates too fast and it just leads to an endless loop of seasonal vaccines.

You've been taught wrong. First, the vaccines don't "cure" flu and nobody claims they do. Second, in many countries they are recommended yearly for people at risk, like elderly people.

It's true flu has newer strains each year and the vaccine must be changed, but the rest of what you were taught was not correct.
I suspect there's a lot at play, including cognitive biases.

For example, value stocks tend to be contrarian plays. The stock is a good value because the price is down, meaning the majority don't have faith in it. Fund managers don't want to be holding these stocks when others are crushing it because people will look at their holdings and have FOMO. When, say, tech is flying high, people want to see that their fund manager owns tech.

Another example is leverage limits may incentivize fund managers into high-beta stocks. These are the one's that are most likely to win (or lose) by a large margin compared to the market. Over-optimism bias makes fund managers think they can disproportionately pick the winners.
Should have taken this a bit further. I think that microwave showing you "I'm a teapot" error would be hilarious.
It shows you the command and allows you to copy it on the clipboard. It's never going to execute it. For me it is useful more like a refreshing your memory than doing the actual work, therefore you need to know what you're doing from previous knowledge.

On the other hand if you are doing something dangerous or risky or you don't understand the suggested command, maybe you shouldn't use this tool without searching more info first.
Poptrie: A Compressed Trie with Population Count for Fast and Scalable Routing [pdf]
I think the linked piece makes an important point, but I disagree that that point is relevant here. "Your argument pattern-matches to tu quoque" is probably an unhelpful thing to say, but what GP says is more like: "Your points about other people are not relevant to the discussion we were having out this one person, and therefore are unhelpful. This pattern of bad argument is sometimes known as tu quoque." Seems fine to me.

Edit to add: not sure if I am alone in this, but I also disagree with the author's characterization that the purpose of thinking about fallacies is to understand how people come to wrong conclusions. I think it has much more to do with the structure of an argument. It's not "you have come to this wrong conclusion by treating this fallacy as a good argument". It's more like "you believe this for whatever personal reasons you might have. You are trying to convince me to believe it as well, but you are failing to do so because your argument is not valid". I.e. it is more about the rhetoric than it is about coming to wrong beliefs in the first place.
You might even say forcing the prices of things to be accurate and exposing departures from reality is the purpose of financial markets and the thing an investor gets paid for.

(How well that works is questionable; my completely amateur impression is that this view would force us to legalize insider trading while declaring HFT completely useless, for example.)
Russia has a veto right only in the UN Security Council. For prosecution by the International Criminal Court (ICC) this is irrelevant. What matters is that Ukraine has accepted the ICC's jurisdiction over all alleged crimes committed on its territory since 20 February 2014.[1] The nationality of the perpetrator is irrelevant, and no one has immunity.

Actually you get very average bread in germany. In the last 20 years everybody switched to those bake in the store things so they taste the same everywhere and the quality is declining.

Unless you consider toast a bread.
That is what i remember from my year in the states. Toast is bread and that is it. But toast is not bread.

But if you find a rare hand made sourdough bread in germany.. it costs you ... but with a good olive oil and salt ... its the main course.
