You can put as many spaces as you want between words, or sentences, or paragraphs, and it might look weird but it still means the same thing.

No -- whitespace definitely has meaning in natural languages. It doesn't usually change the meaning much -- but it does affect it (where meaning of course includes tone and consideration for the reader's experience). Especially when it comes to the use of space between sentences and paragraphs.

As any good writer will tell you.
I had this debate last night. Where i'm undecided is if this works when a housing market is propped up by cash.

Eg both houses and land purchases (something i'm trying to do) are quite a difficult market due to cash offers being consistently present. Ie a new family won't have 500k in cash and their loan offer isn't as good as a cash offer. It happened to me several times when i was buying my home ~6 years ago, 250k cash offers, 300k cash offers, etc. And ironically it just happened to me 2 weeks ago on a land offer. A 310k land offer (loan) beaten out by a higher value and pure cash offer.

So my question is if prices will really dip that much when seemingly so much of the house and land market are propped up by cash rich buyers. Hypothetically they don't care about high interest rates right?

Perhaps high interest rates will mean the cash rich people can offer less due to less competition, but if cash rich people are also competing against other cash rich people then.. i'm not so sure.

Thoughts?

The idea is common in countries with low domestic interest rates, but you get unwanted exposure to FX rates as well: i.e. you can end up richer in INR but poorer in USD.

Japan is the classic example of this - lots of consumers who bought structured products like power-reverse dual coupon notes to get exposure to higher foreign interest rates got annihilated when JPY appreciated vs USD in the 2005-2010 time period.
8/9/18: Wanna invest in Tesla?

Tesla was trading at a split adjusted $70 per share back then. It's trading over $1000 today. Little larry could have made a killing if he invested then. But then again, he is worth over $100 billion so I doubt he's losing any sleep over it.
That almost sounds like an argument for why old school scammers are relatively ethical.

>So, as usual, the problem is solvable with a little diligence.

If you're going to potentially lose tens or hundreds of millions, you need a lot more than a little diligence. Formally proved code (something along the lines of Ada with Spark Pro) is the bare minimum for something with some much money on the line, and even then I'd still prefer a traditional contract and leave things to the courts.
To me this almost seems like an argument to insist on legal level protections for development of contractual code. As in, you need to have qualifications like a lawyer, liability coverage like a lawyer (or bank) and have to be approved in some fashion before you can publish a contract that deals with more than a certain amount of capital.

Theres no difference between a badly codes contract and a badly written one that doesn't do what one signer intended. Short of you can try to convince a judge to adjust it or handle it differently.

In this case. There is no judgment system to allow for reversal of badly coded or misunderstood contracts. Which means that the standard for the development should be far higher with considerably more insurance and coverage for risk.

Agreed the original post was a bit of a straw man but now we’re just weighing risks. If a court can make a stupid decision with someone’s assets then it flows both ways: a court can take as well as return. So yes crypto fails to be recoverable by a court - but that’s obviously offset by being difficult to be stolen by a court too. The fact that most western countries don’t wholesale steal from their citizens means it’s easy to discount this benefit in the face of this cost.

Yeah you’re right, there was no need for the last bit. I’m still struggling to see the relevance though, trying to get me to buy things is very different from trying to get me to use a feature you profit from (in my opinion). You also have to bare in mind that HN represents the more technical users, plenty of people probably do need the popups to discover these features. Saying that, a “no thanks, don’t remind me again” button would be a nice inclusion - perhaps with a secondary confirmation.

I’ve seen this sort of reactionary response in mathematics and music as well.

SYCL, not SYSCL.
The use as a pathfinding technique immediately stood out to me. If I'm understanding the way it works it results in variable speed, making it less useful for some game purposes. But this is super useful for animation. If you are trying to model crowd behavior your entities will seemingly speed up and slow down to allow others to pass but still arrive where you need them to at specific times.
What’s the alternative? You have some method like

def register_route(route): …

That gets called with all the types in that nested union but now the type checker can’t help you if GoogleRoute and Metaroute have different attribute names or that .append isn’t a method on sequences but is on lists.

Like that unwieldy nested union already exists in your code, adding the type just documents it and the type checker makes you handle all the cases.

Is there something specific about imports that don’t work with type alises?

I am going to have your comment bronzed. It's such a perfect example of how in the crypto world the US dollar value is hyped in the good news. But once the news is bad people get all, "What even is money, man?"
I can’t even get past the simple values syntax:

var value: i32 = 0;

This looks like you’re assigning the value 0 to i32, a type. It’s nonsensical. Also what is the purpose of the var keyword? Why not put the type there?

The array syntax makes even less sense!

I think what you’re missing in your examples is how the values are used after declaration. C syntax was designed so that declaration resembles use. The reason array subscript brackets come after the variable name is because that’s how you access elements of the array:

int arr[3] = { 12, 76, -42};
arr[1] += 4;
if (arr[2] < 0) { printf(“it’s negative!\n”); }
It's hard to do, but at least I can get fired and not worry about health insurance.
Well, yes, you're right. You can't make a category with a count of zero be the leading cause this way. I suspect you're living in a fairly small country, though.

More fundamentally, however, we don't really care how many children die of gunshot wounds. Other mechanisms of death are just as worrying. In particular, most gunshot deaths are suicides (for the general population, not sure about children 0-17 in the US). If guns are unavailable, at least many of these children will find some other way to commit suicide. Unless you're in a really small country, I doubt that there have been zero suicides of children 0-17 in recent years.

The graph in the paper linked from the article seems rather uninformative, actually. It shows lines for "Firearm-related injury" and for "Motor vehicle crash", both of which are a combination of accidents, suicides, and homicides. Surely to make any useful conclusions you have to look at what these underlying causes were (of which there is some mention in the paper, but not enough to really see what's happening).
Hmm... I might have to look into this more. But back in the day when I had an AT&T femtocell, it was still tied into my account, and I had to 'allow' phones to connect to it. And it looks kinda like the T-mobile CellSpot also has to tie to your account so that you can set up e911 addresses. But it does say that anybody within range can jump on it, so MVNO might work on it. Maybe the way around this is a cheap pre-paid t-mo hotspot plan or something just to get it set up. Thanks for the suggestion.

In reading this article on finance my mind drifts to the refrain on HN that search (Google) is broken and ready to be disrupted. Can consensus mechanisms on distributed systems help create a less spammy, more equitable search engine?

> a consensus mechanism can be considered as a shared system of standards and steps that allows a distributed system (a group of individuals or computers) to accurately, precisely, and reliably coordinate on shared problems.

> Consensus mechanisms (also known as consensus protocols or consensus algorithms) allow distributed systems (networks of computers) to work together and stay secure.

Have a diversified portfolio. Rational Reminder went over the data in "The Ultimate Inflation Hedge":

> Is it possible to hedge your investments against different levels of inflation? This is the question we ask in today's episode, as we run through a variety of different investment approaches and commodities. While the answer may not come as a huge surprise, it is definitely worth the walk-through and getting to grips with what the literature can tell us in each scenario. After rounding up some news and a few reviews relevant to our usual subject matter, we dive straight into this topic, tackling the performance of stocks and bonds, gold, international stocks, value stocks, and more! We also share some general thoughts and questions to ask during periods where inflation is high, before positing our view that there is no single successful hedge against inflation, but rather our usual position of an adjusted and diversified portfolio will serve you as well in this regard as in others. We finish off this episode with a few of our usual quick cards, and this week's disturbing bad advice! So tune in to hear all about what you should know about expected and unexpected inflation and a whole lot more!

It's only really popular because "The 8-Bit Guy" makes 45 minute videos painstakingly showing you this process, because he lacks the technical ability or background to tell you anything insightful about the computers he's working on---usually common 80s home computers that were poorly stored in someone's attic for decades.
Genocide and population increase doesn't work together. The ughyur population has increased during the "genocide".

Apologies for the implication you’re stupid, I didn’t really mean that and it was uncalled for at any rate.

I don’t disagree regards dark patterns, your example just felt a bit irrelevant to the specific topic being discussed (Amazon pushing a paid for product / cancelling a paid subscription).
Yeah, I'm not confused by C's syntax any more either. However, when I was learning it (about 30 years ago), things were very non-obvious.

And there are a lot of people who want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Go is the one that really amuses me here: They broke the "declaration follows usage", which I think is a nice idea, and they still have backwards pointer syntax that needs parentheses to get it right.

> Don't think I've ever constructed a more complicated [...]

Heh, I'm not sure this is a great argument. It's kind of like saying you don't care about the complexity/details in floating point because you've never needed more than integers. :-)

Your entire post is about inevitable centralization but that is not the oracle problem. The oracle problem is about providing access to real life data on the blockchain, but the issue is that you still need to trust someone to provide that data. Maybe I am misunderstanding you but I don't get how that by design leads to the total financial destruction of most participants?

>> Given a hypothetical world where the choice was language color and including groups different from your own experience you really picked the former?

The real choice being presented is between a world where language has many colors as used by many groups when talking within and between groups, and one where everything is supposed to be "inclusive"... an idea based on the feelings or hypothetical feelings of some person, somewhere. You think we should all adjust our language and it's worth removing any color to accommodate that hypothetical person's feelings, and I think that's not only insane, it's an attempt to use phoney virtue to dictate to and feel power over others.

You may as well ask whether I'd choose a world where everyone spoke English rather than one which excluded people by some groups speaking their own language. There are, in fact, linguistic supremacists who think like this, and can frame it as an argument for "inclusivity"... e.g. the Chinese government. What it really amounts to is cultural imperialism.
In the linked blog post to init7 (translated), it says this:
“Backhaul means the return of the data to the backbone, i.e. to the connecting area of the network. The backbone connects the various subnets. Each Fiber7 pop is newly connected with at least 100Gbit/sec backhaul capacity, which corresponds to 10 to 50 times over-provision”

Is that a normal over provisioning rate for an internet connection? It seems like each pop can only support four people at maximum speed before bandwidth would drop.

> So better to park money in TIPs or in Bills from your other comment?

The shortest term TIPs are sold in is 5 years. They can be sold earlier, but the price will depend on market conditions.

Series I bonds have a 30 year term, but they're redeemable with a penalty after 12 months and without a penalty after 5 years.

Bills have no inflation protection, but they're sold in terms as short as 4 weeks. They currently yield 50 bps, in line with Goldman Sachs' savings account, but lower than others in the market. (Savings accounts can change their rates on a whim; bills do not.)

AFAIK Hawking radiation has never been detected. It is hypothesized on the basis of current theories of quantum mechanics and gravity, and those assumptions imply a thermal distribution of energy. So, we have a reason to think that Hawking radiation occurs and has this property, while no-one so far has proposed a mechanism that would encode data on it.
Ah yes. When crypto works, even barely, it's the magic perfect future financial system. When it doesn't work, it's entirely the user's fault and they are stupid doo-doo heads who deserve the blame. Such a classic "heads I win, tails you lose," dynamic.
"In 2015, the University of Kentucky planned to release a TEDx talk by Price’s ex-wife Kristie Colón, in which she alleged Price punched, slapped, and waterboarded her. The university decided not to publish this footage after Price’s representatives reached out and said the footage was defamatory."
Known-(very-)naive question: how and why is the M1 so far beyond both the-rest-of-ARM and both Intel (236.7-(Rocket Lake=147.6)=89.1) and AMD? ((236.7-(Zen 3=163.4)=73.3)?

Of course the technically correct answer I'm not looking for is "because Apple optimized it better" :D, I'm looking more at the (obviously probably extrpolated/guessed) path they took to get there. For example perhaps the increased memory bandwidth contributed (ie $pc go brrrrt :P) but like... this is like the elephant in the room that Apple is basically The Best™ ARM shop in town right now, and I guess I'm trying to reason both about the engineering (how Apple got to where they are now) and the market reaction (how Apple and everyone else are going to go forward).
Except that if there is a way to do the experiment, it can only be found by doing theory. Push the symbols around until something new falls out.

Maybe it will. Maybe it won't. But it seems weird to dismiss it as fundamentally unsolvable.

I happen to agree that it's not likely to be solved, and even if it is won't be terribly useful. It gets funding only because it captures people's attention, for being "deep".

I'd love it if science funding were more rational, but that's hardly confined to fundamental physics. If it were up to me we'd fund theoretical physics AND a lot of other things, and stop funding a lot of expensive things I dislike. But plenty of people disagree, and the resulting process is inevitably irrational.

I see no value in shaking my tiny fists at one particular set of scientists over that.

That's only one piece of the puzzle. Economic hardship means investments stale or fail. All those real estate investors have fire sales, people lose jobs because of economic downturn and foreclosure, etc. It's all a domino effect, cash buyers are just another input to consider
