Water management in Florida regularly dumps a lot of fresh water into the Intercoastals, causing bacteria blooms and other damage to otherwise pristine ecosystems. If the West needs water, they should build a siphon-driven pipeline from Florida over the Rockies and clear out to the coast of California, serving everyone along the way. I think there is plenty of fresh water in Florida to go around, at least until Florida's population grows so large it depletes its aquifers, which I suppose is already happening, but they're still just dumping fresh water into the ocean.

Find me an investment strategy that isn't needlessly complicated. Everything you can do in the traditional world you need an army of lawyers to get right.

All you have to do is vet the handful of things you're interested in. I don't know everything about every crypto project out there, and I assume everything is a scam unless something piques my interest and so I dive in depth on it and determine it isn't. Most things that do pique my interest turn out to be scams within. 5 minutes of reading. Sometimes that means I miss out on money, it's a risk assessment.

I'm not invested in maker because it isn't a passive investment. You either buy a stablecoin, no gains on that, or you become a DAO member and have a role to play. But it is a very interesting tool that people can use that works really well. It does what it's designed to do, keep dai correlated highly with the dollar.

The algorithmic part itself I think is fine. It's similar to the mechanism ETFs use to stay close to the benchmark they want to track: if the ETF ever tracks above or below its benchmark, you can arbitrage by converting the component shares to ETF shares, or by redeeming the ETF for its components.

That all depends on liquidity though. The arbitrage mechanism is only compelling and effective if you can reliably take some asset you actually want (say, USD), put it into one side of that market, do the arbitrage, and get USD back out from the other side. If that route becomes risky then you're mixing the arbitrage mechanism up with significant asset pricing and/or counterparty risk.
Took 17 responses, but I think your second point answers my question. Thank you.
Some more respectable commentators suggest the current environment is the start of a second tech bust, and although that seems sensational, it might be fair given current trends of shrinking credit, de-globalization, explosive inflation and rapidly collapsing discretionary spending seen at present.

A reasonable starting point might be where it was prior to Covid QE and rate reductions (-61%), add one company-specific shock due to missed growth expectations (-30%), maybe +20% for real growth experienced over Covid in the meantime, and that already leaves us with $6bn, before accounting for the effect of the fed beginning to unwind their balance sheet (which starts in June, initially at around 1% per month)

Incrementally buying at $18-$25 would definitely feel tempting in that scenario, assuming the fed delivered its claimed targets, and only with the understanding the IPO price should not be considered a floor.

This is all before considering the reality their product isn't much more than a commoditized fly on the windshield of bigger vendors, and it's easily possible to imagine a Lightsail-like competitor appearing in the meantime.

My problem was that I was always around professional gear. I got into video production while still in high school. Once I got to college, I started working at a film lab/post house. Everything was the high end gear. I saw what the image looked like straight from the film negatives in the transfer suites while being recorded to digibeta. The images at that point looked amazing for SD. You'd then see the content you worked on in the edit bays at home on consumer TVs, and it'd look like total crap.

Colf: Unsupervised Discovery and Composition of Object Light Fields
My understanding of the GameStop situation is that the stock's value had already diverged from the underlying value of the company, and the meme stock crowd noticed that and took advantage of it. Specifically, they saw that there were more short positions than total shares of existing stock, so they bought shares, thus causing a short squeeze. (This is possible because there's a power imbalance between the people who short a stock and the people who are long.)

The meme stock crowd didn't create the value/price imbalance (it was created by the short sellers), they just saw that it was already off and took advantage of the situation, so then the value imbalance swung the other way. And in the end GameStop as a company survived and are now doing pretty well as far as I'm aware. GME is trading at about $100 a share, which is a lot better than about $4 a share a couple years ago. Maybe that's an artificially inflated price, but who cares? As far as I can tell that's just the normal market consequence of too many people shorting a stock and someone calling their bluff.

> grouping together things to reduce uncorrelated risks is not a recent innovation

Completely misjudging whether risks are correlated or not is not a recent innovation either.
The books in question almost certainly don’t all revolve around group identity, though some might. Some of them mention it in their short blurb because someone in the marketing department thought it would help sell more books. Others don’t mention it explicitly in their blurbs, but touch on related subjects and the top-level poster here is guessing the subject will be featured (before having read the books). The only way to make a solid claim about this is to actually carefully read the prizewinning books, which no one here has done.

People constantly worried they might be exposed to “identity” are even more annoying than those who won’t stop talking about the subject. I have seen several children’s novels where the characters tangentially discussed their ancestors’ origins or took part in cultural traditions, or the book incidentally featured a disabled character or a gay character or a homeless character, and then random Amazon reviewers with a chip on their shoulder will complain about how this is all too “woke” for them.

You could argue that, from a naive understanding of how it works. Of course, it's worse than even a useless speculative asset, because it was designed to scam people out of money. The mechanism is designed to prop up the value of LUNA while the creators accumulated BTC, not to maintain a pegged stablecoin, as stated.
I didn't downvote you. Postgres as a database server is operationally more complex when compared to Sqlite. Since Postgres is a network service, you have to deal with networking and security. Upgrading Postgres is a big task in and of itself. Backups has to happen over the network.

Number of network connections is another sore point. One of Postgres' biggest pain point is the low number of connections it supports. It is not uncommon to have to run a proxy in front of Postgres to increase the number of connections.

Sqlite gives you so much for free as long as you can work within its constraint, which is single writer (for the most part.)

I don't think what you are saying is controversial but it feels like you are being contentious for no reason. Your rebuttal doesn't even make sense - telling me I can pay someone to manage it for me, is not the same as it not needing management at all.

Whether I manage it, or someone else does; there is still an operational or financial cost.
I think preview on MacOS is great but when I'm on windows (and 95% of the time I'm on Mac) I open PDFs in Chrome (Firefox would probably work as well). Both have a built in sandboxed reader.

In fact pretty much the only time I open a PDF in preview is to merge 1 or more PDFs (show the thumbnails, copy and paste them from one to the other).

Otherwise I never use Preview for PDFs and I reference tons of PDF based specs.

On the other hand I use Preview to quickly crop or markup screenshots all the time.
Catalog of Elixir-specific code smells
Cloudflare doesn’t own anything significant in the form of data centers. Having small rented footprints at IXPs across the globe is not an asset, it’s just a cost. I’m not downplaying the difficulty of getting it setup but there is no intrinsic value in having it if demand for their product collapses.

I don't understand this point. If there's a risk that demand will collapse isn't it better not to own the data centers? By renting CF can reduce their costs quickly in the face of falling demand. That's a feature.

An AWS, Azure, or Google DDoS protection product could eat Cloudflare’s market in a hot minute. Cloudflare can’t escape being a “feature” of a cloud provider.

This is also true of any other software company though - at some point a bigger company might offer whatever product as a feature. It's just a risk of building a software company - what we build is largely straightforward to copy. That doesn't mean there's no value in software as a product though.
> The coming tightening of hiring will also inevitably mean the tightening of infrastructure budgets.

But cloudflare is also pretty cheap for many things, so that may bring in some more money from people downsizing from something like akamai, could it not?

I've looked. I've debated conservatives, read the things they quoted, and tried to fact check both sides.

The conservative arguments I've seen recently are either directly falsifiable (e.g., high vaccine death rates, voter fraud), or suffer from tranparent logical fallacies (most climate change denial).

I haven't seen a conservative outlet that cites reputable primary sources in a long, long time. Decades ago, it was easy to find conservative news outlets that didn't have these problems. I honestly don't know where they went.

Some sibling comments pointed at things to read. I'll check them out.

A tech company that makes large capital outlays expecting growth might do very well in an expanding economy but get destroyed in a recession.
As somebody who loves databases, I think the real issue that folks are meaning to critique isn’t actually using a “model.”

It’s using an ActiveRecord-style ORM (or any ORM) without grokking what lies beneath.

A database layer IS a model. It’s just not a class or an object.

ActiveRecord is a really nice trick when it works … but it can create some really performance-killing side effects.

Ruby’s Datawrapper ORM and its siblings in other languages requires understanding both sides (the object system and RDBMS) but can let you get your class/object semantics to play nicely with your database.

And just passing around database connections and arrays of hashes can get you awfully far.

But, if you want to not think about the database layer, ActiveRecord-style ORMs are a real win for developer ergonomics.

And that’s part of the win of Rails/Django/etc. You can live in a single mental model (classes/objects with references to each other) and ignore the database layer.

Except when you can’t.

One reason (not a criticism) that NoSQL can be such a win is that the semantics are closer to class/object semantics. So you’re not trying to manipulate data with an abstraction that doesn’t quite fit.

But most of our projects aren’t Twitter or FaceBook or Google or anything else functioning at galactic scale.
A 49 years old java programmer even complained that the test isn’t fair

And you had to mention their age ... why, exactly?

As opposed to "a left-handed Java programmer", or "a Java guy wearing a Slayer T-shirt"? No -- for some reason, with this candidate -- their age was especially relevant to you.

Why?

But then people try to overdo it and deal with UTF-8 before having the basic algo working.

Because of one too many experiences with live coding interviews, (on appearances) pretty much exactly like yours -- in which one gets flushed (or otherwise dinged) for failing to proactively treat such edge-case details as encoding gotchas, zettabyte-scale strings sharded across multiple time zones, etc.

I’m pulling my hair wondering what’s this parallel world I’m in, or whether I’m introducing a bias which makes everyone fail (2 interviewees per month for 5 months).

In fact, you are introducing just such a bias. There has recently been good, solid research done into the fact that performative (that is: on a whiteboard, in front of a group) "programming" tests are really basically high-pass anxiety filters. That is, implicitly designed not to measure programming ability, but the (studied) ability to ... successfully complete peformative rituals in front of random strangers you've never met.

If you aren't aware of this research (or your capacities for empathy aren't at a level where this is intuitively obvious to you) -- then you shouldn't be conducting these kinds of interviews in the first place. No matter how good you are at programming per se.
Well... There may have also been another major financial event during that time.....

So I'm actually in on PTON right now and feeling some pain, but what made it click for me was that the bike was completely unusable without a subscription.

At this point, returns and people just burning/destroying their Pelotons are the only risk.

In addition two things made me think about it:

- The kind of people who buy pelotons are usually not the people who worry about that amount of monthly charge and may keep it aspirationally

- The new game they put out (kind of guitar hero-y) actually doesn't look half bad, and the product itself is quite polished.

- In addition to buying the bike, people often buy one or two pairs of clip in cycling shoes -- Peloton could actually start becoming a go to for riding gear and have quite the audience to sell to from day one.
