Yes, that's another dimension in this complex problem.
As the other poster said, it's a special type of collateralized loan where since everything is known, it can be done automatically.

You can get approved for a margin account at TD Ameritrade right now, and then later decide to margin some shares for whatever reason. The bank doesn't need to check your collateral because it knows how much it is worth at any given moment when the market is open.

Mortgage loans are not nearly as formalized, and the bank will send out an appraiser to verify that the property is worth an amount that they're willing to loan against.

And once you get past that, it becomes very hand-wavy; banks making loans to governments, non-profits, private companies, etc will all have their internal departments that make decisions about how much the risk is and what premium they'd need to charge.

Ask HN: What's your web routine? which sites etc. do you frequent besides HN?
Every day, I'm rotating between a german blog (Fefe), HN and reddit. I can't stand twitter or instagram, but feel like I'm missing out on interesting content - other blogs, people worth following, maybe news outside of tech.

What's your web routine?
Some of that doesn't have to do with C even. Like, changing memory layout of variables, or the way you access data.

A simple example is if you have a 2D array, and you have the data from the individual rows consecutively in memory, but then you loop over the columns in your outer for-loop and over the rows in your inner for-loop. This means you access the first element from the first row, then the first element from the second row, then the first element from the third row, and so on. All these elements are far apart in memory, but every time you access one element, let's assume it's an uint32_t, the CPU fetches a whole cache lane of e.g. 64 bytes and puts it in the CPU cache in anticipation that you access data close to this in the near future. But you don't, so the CPU has to fetch another 64 bytes block for the first element of the second row, uses only 4 bytes from that, and so on. If your 2D array is large enough, by the time you finish the first iteration of the inner loop and start reading the second element of every row, the 64 byte cache lane that was fetched when you read the first element of the first row has already been evicted from the CPU cache again when you read the first element of row 2000, so the same 64 byte block has to be fetched from RAM again. This makes a huge performance difference, and is applicable to pretty much every programming language.
Thanks, understood. However file-backed pages such as executables and shared libs are not written to swap space as the pages are just dropped and read back in from the regular(non-swap) filesystem no? Not that causes any less disk I/O of course but they are not anonymous pages which is generally what is written to swap. When I think swap I think of "written to swap" but maybe you mean swap in the general sense of paged out?

Not really a valid argument. Plenty of similar products out there with more competitive prices. "Make this complex product yourself" is the equivalent argument as "if you don't like something with your country just leave." People can complain that something is expensive.
Can’t he borrow against his Tesla stock, and other assets including his ownership of SpaceX, and personal property, for cash to buy Twitter?

Depending on his banking relationships, and other assets that he can use as collateral for the loan, he might be able to borrow a fairly high percentage of the current value of those assets as cash (maybe 50 to 70 or 80% or more if the collateral assets are diversified or the bank simply has high confidence in his effective credit rating or ability to repay — and he may be doing other business with that bank incentivizing them to give him a favorable deal).

I’m not a billionaire but by establishing a strong relationship with a bank, have been able to establish a credit line with a limit that is a high percentage of my assets that are invested by the bank in a diversified portfolio, along with other assets, at a low interest rate (mortgage levels - a credit line at approx 2.5% interest of an amount almost equal to my total assets at the bank).

I also recently refinanced my house with this bank starting last winter and was able to achieve getting a 15 year fixed mortgage at a 2.125% interest rate - a huge reduction from my previous rate of 3.5% on a 30 year. I now pay less per month and will own my home much sooner, consequently paying considerably less in interest over the remainder of the loan, and building much more wealth in the process.

With some wealth and favorable banking relationships you can accomplish things that most ordinary people don’t know about and I myself didn’t know about until I started looking into the possibilities. I am sure a billionaire has access to even more options than I can conceive of.
> All of your comparisons assume that bikes and cars are the same, but they're not.

I think you're starting to get my point. They're not the same, and don't belong together on the same roadway. We can't ban cars, so we should ban bikes.

Cyclists sharing the road with cars is not the only option. Not biking at all is a very valid option.
where have I said that they have something "wrong"?
I firmly believe that anyone can get scammed if they're caught on a bad day and the scammers happen to get lucky with some details or approach that happens to match something the target is inclined to believe.

I don't believe scams are typically designed to maximize success rate per scam; they're designed to cast a very wide net and get lucky on a few targets.
It would be interesting to break this down by genre. Jazz likes to "borrow" notes to construct chords that aren't diatonic, and metal likes to add the flat II and V almost as a rule.

"Cities should build up instead of out. That means changing building codes and zoning laws to reduce restrictions on building heights."

I'll probably be hated for this, as usual... You also have to have people who want to live there. Personal preferences and overall population seem to be important factors overlooked (or conveniently ignored) by many during these conversations. It's more convenient to focus solely on zoning.

Yeah I think the standard is to sell some percentage of the RSU grant each time there is a distribution (to cover the taxes of getting it as income).

Unfortunately this is usually insufficient in most companies and one will likely still owe a big chunk of change to the IRS each year as a result.

One can ask for extra withholding, but it's a bit tricky to figure out until one has worked for a given company / comp level for a given year.
It has for a long time but it is still not ideal for editing subkeys and what not.
This has only been true during our surprisingly low interest rate environment over the last 20+ years.

It could change rapidly and people can get wiped out quite quickly when it does.
> For example, "Kitchen Girl" needs "A G" for the first half of the tune (confusingly called the "A part")

This is standard notation, especially in American folk music, that sections are labeled A, B and sometimes C. This makes it very convenient when playing with others who're not familiar with the tune (e.g. This is Kitchen Girl, key of A, two A parts, two B parts)
Not for fast forward merges.
There is ZUUL Gating[0] CI it is actually the perfect solution for this. It works with Github or Git based repository system.

It automatically tests the changes with a simulated merge on master together.
So it orders PR1 -> PR2 -> PR3 -> .... -> PR-100 by order of approval.
If PR1 -> PR2 (Fails) -> PR3 -> .... -> PR-100

It restarts -> PR3 -> .... -> PR-100 and Up after removing PR2. This behavior is even customizable.

> If he sells large amounts of tsla shares to buy twitter, this will be a negative signal

Not necessarily. It's conceivable that TSLA shareholders could interpret Elon Musk acquiring more political influence as good for TSLA. The question would be whether Musk can use control of twitter to actually influence politics in favor of his other companies. I don't know if that would actually work, but I think it's conceivable that many of those who own TSLA might believe it will work.

I don't think people think it's impossible but you need a source. The article in the headline does not prove this. Of course US security/war hawks want control over twitter but that doesn't make it true.

> Yes. Glidesort moves data back and forth between partially initialized buffers a lot, so unsafe code is unavoidable. I also need to concatenate slices that are adjacent in memory, which is impossible to do with safe slices (due to pointer provenance). Mixing pointers/slices in general is just a bad idea, so for the most part I simply use pointers.

Ah, that's frustrating, my tool Creusot is meant for the verification of safe code, though I also worked on unsafe code verification as part of the RustHornBelt project (upcoming PLDI paper).

The problem is that piracy isn't a technology problem, it's a people problem.

"Pirate" technology doesn't exist. Somewhere, somehow, you need to show information. At that point, anything you've used to convey that information can also make a copy of that information or allow access to someone who shouldn't have it.

Piracy is people using legitimate means to perform actions in a manner deemed unacceptable.

I started playing guitar in middle school and I hated learning complex chords so I'd do what this video suggested and just play the stripped down/simplified version of the chord.

But it's not just about open chords. If you strip down a Bm7b5 to a Bm and play the Bm on the second fret it still has half of the character of the Bm7b5 chord.

Only recently did I start gaining the patience to learn every suggested chord and it makes a tremendous difference.

That said, I prefer piano for accompanying because the piano's tone is somehow more forgiving with basic chords than guitar is.

And were those 10 bit per color in hardware ?

Also, all of this is about liquid crystals (and the electronics controlling them), but cathode ray tubes, plasmas, and light emitting diodes have quite different characteristics...

I would be surprised if nobody had made yet (professional ?) non-CRT PC monitors capable of more than 256 values discrimination ?! (Not even Apple ?!? Or at least some super-expensive, but still commercial (= non-experimental) displays ?)

Also, I guess a similar benefit might be achieved by using more than 3 primaries : who was it already that used a 4th "yellow" subpixel in their (IIRC) diode displays ?

(Though it's still not clear to me why more displays aren't using the standard (at least in Charge Coupled Devices) 2x2 Bayer Filter with double green, rather than a 3x1 one ? Too much reliance on Windows' ClearType hack working properly ? But why in TVs too ??)
That's cool. This type of thing just sparks something in my brain. I learned cursive because it was beat into me. As soon as I could abandon it I did, and for good reason too. My cursive was terrible and dyslexic, and block text was much easier to write and to read.

The other stuff I wrote is secondary to your post, and just a hot take. Thanks for the stimulating article though!

Tacking onto this question, does anyone have recommendations for US banks that have API access and allow personal use?

I've come across a couple companies such as Mercury but they're only for business use.
We have a lot of data sources. Basic financial data we got from paid APIs, all other alternative data sources are our robots/scrapers...

We have also our Analysts who choose which data to track for each company – it is really important to show only relevant data, so this is done manually.
In that category (of C/C++ alternatives) is also Vlang (https://vlang.io/). It would be closer to Odin, than Julia, Go, or Nim. Although Vlang and Odin have a strong Go influence.

I wonder if the world can support a conservative Twitter. I think the problem is that if you're going to spout offensive nonsense it's not as much fun if there is no one around to be offended by it. And while those who are offended will fight it when it's a percentage of their platform, there will be a wave as people abandon what they see as a toxic platform. I mean sure there are platforms like 4chan and The Donald but 4chan's traffic is a fraction of what reddit's is.

Given Elon's predilection for trolling it's odd he doesn't realize those people who are banned don't want to build anything, they just want to watch the world burn.
Dealing with UI jank in the JUCE framework
> Isn't the fact that twitter is NOT part of our democracy the crying call of the left? "It's not censorship because it's a private company and they can do what they want (as long as they only censor anything I don't agree with)!"

Lol, if you think the left is genuinely defending the rights of private corporations, I don't think you know much about the left...

Probably the defining ideological organizing principle of the left is social equality, which is the exact opposite organizing principle of corporations, that being profit over all. Corporations are organized as dictatorships; leftists prefer them to be organized as democracies of, by, and for workers. Corporations censor the free speech of their workers, restricting what they say and how they can organize themselves; leftists want to take away the power corporations have to do this.

Insofar you are hearing anyone you perceive to be on the left supporting the rights of corporations like twitter to do what they want, perhaps consider they are throwing the argument in the face of corporate friendly Democrats and Republicans who have created this situation themselves by granting corporations such power over our lives, and are now only complaining when it hurts them politically.

I'm waiting for the day when that's tackled honestly by those groups, because right now it seems to me that politicians want to force specific companies like Twitter to stop hurting them politically while still maintaining corporate power and the inflow of corporate cash into their reelection campaigns. Thy want to call Twitter a "town square" and a "public good", and carve out exceptions that would specifically limit its power while still maintaining the power of the corporations they prefer to wield it. Meanwhile they will argue vociferously that healthcare, education, housing, even roads and broadband aren't public goods and must be kept privatized or turned into private ventures.

Under our current system (not created by leftists), corporations are people too and have more rights and power than natural humans. Leftists will stop pointing out that corporations have this power as soon everyone else stops arguing that corporations should have this power.
Less than a month after it launched? Super embarrassing for someone...
That’s not the reason. Library developers aren’t changing code to annoy or educate their users.

The reason is that a hash table with a fixed hash function may be used for denial of service attacks. If an attacker knows how a hash map maps keys and can control the keys being inserted, they can insert thousands of keys that all map to the same hash, effectively turning the hash map into a list or vector that has to be searched linearly (on both lookups and insertions)

And that’s a real problem.
https://lwn.net/Articles/474912/ says:

“That's where web frameworks come into play. Those frameworks helpfully collect up all of the POST form data that gets sent to a particular web page into a dictionary that gets handed off to the application for processing. The amount of data that the frameworks will allow is typically rather large (e.g. 1MB), so an attacker can create tens of thousands of form entries in a single HTTP request. Because they all collide, those entries can take tens of seconds to a few minutes to process on an i7 core according to the advisory [PDF] released by Wälde and Klink.”

If you manage to insert 10,000 keys with identical hashes, that’s about 10,000²/2 key comparisons.
I agree it won't happen, but not because Musk isn't serious. This filing is dated April 20. It is a holy day for Musk — that's not a joke, only an exaggeration. I think we can take as a given that anything Elon Musk does on 4/20 which is serious on the face of it, is serious absolutely.
logical possibility? Sure. Logic conclusion, I don't think so.
A direct answer to your question, and depending on the cultures of where you live, you could say something like Hello, whom do I have the pleasure of speaking with? But that's very southern, so I could see many people not feeling that. I say Howdy, what may I do for you today?... Which I now recognize is also southern... But there's a lot of things you could say that distract from identifying yourself.

Along the topics others are replying with, I also don't answer calls usually, and have a call blocker so I'm only notified if someone from my contacts list is calling or if they are recognized by my network carrier as a verified business. Since businesses can also be spoofed, I still don't give any information and find out why they are calling, then politely hang up and call back myself, after first verifying the number in about to call is actually associated with the business.
That seems even worse then; it's effectively the board voting to steal shares from a major shareholder in order to increase their own relative stake in the company. How is that not illegal?
IMO: It's much better to understand how to construct chords and then play music and memorize them by trying to play both the melody and some kind of accompaniment. You end up getting stuck in situations where you need to rearrange the chord or learn a new one and you can build them up that way without drilling.
Big fan of alternate data. I appreciate:

-- the effort expended to go out and collect a lot of different types of (publicly available) alternate data

-- the look and feel of the interface

A few comments:

-- Who is the target audience?

The user has to convince themselves that this is useful data, and to do that they would have to run some backtests or statistics, and the data in its current form doesn't lend itself to that.

-- Confidence

The user also has to be confident that the data is accurate, and that it will stick around.

-- Exclusivity

The data will likely be useful to the extent that it is not widely shared. Decaying alpha is an age old problem so you don't have to have a solution but what are your thoughts around it?
Musk doesn't have enough money to literally control the society.
You still have to pay down principal at some point.

In this case explicitly I suspect it has more to do with the uncertainty of the deal going through AND not wanting to incur the tax penalty ALONG with the share penalty (liquidating $30 billion in TSLA would affect its price for sure). If you sold the shares to raise the cash, paid the tax, and then the deal didn't go through and bought the shares back, you'd be out the tax (with a stepped-up cost basis to be sure).

These all seem like problems we can solve via genetic engineering. Our bodies should produce immune system cells capable of fighting off any foreign organism, be that on our skin or in our mouths.
