Thanks for all the great input!

I don't mean to argue for \(...\) and \[...\] in Markdown; it was just a side note I had added to satisfy the LaTeX purists such as myself. :) I hope I've clarified this in the text now.

> And since all this parsing is happening at the parser level, the code-delimiter argument is invalid.

Well, you're right in that they have to modify their parser to protect the $-$$ blocks. The issue is that they don't do that yet, and the fact that they don't have that that ready at release date makes me think it's hard to do. A smart way around all these problems would be tp use codeblocks for math since you don't have to modify the parser for this at all. That's what GitLab does anyway.

Let's just hope they'll adapt the parser.

> The second fatal error is comparing MathJax to KaTeX by showing the commit freq. and claim that MathJax is dead.

Thanks also for this comment! Another user pointed it out to me as well, and I've adapted the text accordingly. Having worked extensively with both MathJax and KaTeX, I found KaTeX has many advantages still. Some of those stem from the fact that it's far younger and built upon younger design principles, leading to better modularity for example. Anyway, apart from load times this doesn't affect the user so ultimately it's GitHub's choice.

Thanks again for taking the time for such a thorough review.
It's what happens when you believe that tech can solve everything. Netflix thought they can automate makings shows with some predefined story templates. I mean it works for few shows but then people notice the pattern. Creativity should be organic.
Bitfinex seems like a very good business. I mean at least since 2016 - but 8 years is enough. It is possible that they still mismanaged it catastrophically - but fees are really good in crypto exchanges and margin loses are socialized - so they are not a risk factor for the exchange.
I dislike the title of this video. It doesn't describe the content, it only describes the surface of a conflict ('X is so bad [...]') in an emotional way, putting themselves on a high horse. The title is a prime example of what's wrong with the advertisement industry though. I find it rather ironic, given the content although one could say the same about my comment.

Could the company not just issue a hundred trillion dollars of it in a day and sink the currency if they wanted to (or were forced into it).

There's no built-in way to verify that minted Tether can be verified to be backed. If there were, firstly there'd be no questions about the backing at all, it's all public on the blockchain, and second, it would revolutionary and actually useful to have a smart contract that can track real assets and not let them vanish from under it.

This is probably a very real problem. Perhaps not biological IQ per se, but culturally Western populations have been dumbed down significantly over the past few decades.
This is actually my only objection to nuclear power: it requires a certain level of technical savvy in the populace to supply the engineers and technicians, which sadly our lawyer-ruled society does not appreciate.

Nobody knows how to reliably create "quality"--the definition of which will vary by person. Take a dozen of the top quality series on Netflix or streaming services generally and I'll probably be meh on at least half of them.

Add to that the fact that for many, TV, whether streaming or otherwise, is essentially background and they'll immediately cancel your service if all they have is a relative handful of prestige must-see TV.
Ask HN: Good nanotech companies/startups to invest to?

HBO is still the master of curation and talent scouting/development.

While Netflix throws tens of millions of dollars on brainless scripts and big stars, HBO diligently shepherds the material it likes to completion, with talent that is great but that will not break the bank. HBO does not use stars - it makes stars.

For all the talk of Netflix not being a family but a team, it sure does sound like their content division management is pretty "tight", regardless of results. Did they think they were going to coast on the House of Cards forever?
Awesome. Our company is considering moving scientific applications from Python to .NET (C# or F#), mostly for stability reasons and better backwards compatibility.

We need to wrap C libraries though. Does anyone have experience with or reliable benchmarks for the C interface?
I would imagine exchanges hold a lot of Tether.

All of them should be trying to limit their exposure as much as possible as fast as possible.

Zucc has 2% of all wealth owned by American Millennials. Singlehandedly. The other 98% is owned by everyone else in his generation.

1 percenter? Yeah technically he's in the 99th percentile, but technically he's in the 50th percentile as well....

Edit: Rossman, a successful business owner and YouTube personality, is clearly a 1 percenter as well. Just to further illustrate what a silly thing that is to say about the Zucc.
Murder, rape and abuse in Asia’s factories: the true price of fast fashion
Not for super early stage. Crypto projects cash out after a few months or so. That's pre-seed/seed startups.
You can get locked out of your bank account due to institutional incompetence (happened to a friend of mine in Spain) or due to being on the wrong side of a political argument (e.g. donating to the protesting truckers in Canada).

I think there's a lot of value in being slightly harder to oppress by the political classes or arse-covering and uncaring bank managers.
Air conditioners nowadays can and should be bought as reversible heat pumps. It adds nothing to the purchase price and it replaces gas heating as a much more efficient way to heat a building.

We should be installing heat pumps everywhere. Power consumption may go up in summer but would go way down in winter as efficiency is greatly increased. Unless your point is that poor people don’t deserve heating any more than they deserve cooling…

> And let's not discuss the fact that regulation affects many markets which work perfectly fine and when lifes depend on it they should be.

I'm unconvinced a sane person could look at the other most heavily regulated market, healthcare, and say it works "perfectly fine".

> The article goes through the calculations, it shows that even with deregulation LWRs would not be competitive.

The numbers given in the article of $53/MWh are currently less than half the current UK wholesale electricity price and renewables impose increasing costs as they become a larger share of your electricity mix (renewables are not even remotely competitive if you also had to pay for even a single day of electricity storage, which would cost at least $4000/kw[1]).

Deregulated nuclear would be much cheaper than wind&solar+storage.

I can't give you any benchmarks, but in my experience (from wrapping a big C++ game engine in generated C#), modern .NET interop overhead is basically unnoticeable.

.NET 7 finally also ships with NativeAOT which compiles your C# to native code that you can expose as a C library.

A great first line for a novel, but perhaps not really so.
According to Wikipedia the denuclearization process was canceled until Fukushima happened.

“ On 14 March 2011, in response to the renewed concern about the use of nuclear energy the Fukushima incident raised in the German public and in light of upcoming elections in three German states, Merkel declared a 3-month moratorium on the reactor lifespan extension passed in 2010.[29] On 15 March, the German government announced that it would temporarily shut down 8 of its 17 reactors, i.e. all reactors that went online before 1981.”

And this was described as “The decision to phase-out nuclear power has been called the swiftest change of political course since unification.”

So if a disaster was all it took for a swift change in politics then the current situation is certainly a disaster.

But now Germany is committed to stopping Russian coal imports in 3 months and oil, by the year's end, and a (less format and obligatory) statement of intent to quit Russian gas too, in the next two years.

None of your hypotheticals actually happened in this situation.

The hospital clerk wrote down that she was "in-network", gave her a quote and then after the procedure, the hospital discovered she was not, and upped the quote by $200k.

Hospitals do whatever dishonest stuff they feel like all time, and the worst consequence to them is that they don't get their $200k and consequentially ruin someone's life with debt collectors.

If every time hospitals tried to steal from someone - because that's what this is - one of their senior managers did a year in the penitentiary, such brazen dishonesty would cease overnight.
I mean you probably can, but art and engineering are more of a spectrum if anything. Even if the CCP seizes all of Apples assets in China can they create another iPhone? I don't think so. If part of that is getting people to pay 1000 bucks for it.
I'm also very puzzled by how the quality could degrade so much. I was sure that they had cracked the "formula" to create good content via big data analysis after House of Cards.

My guess, and I have nothing to back it up other than external empirical observation, is that they didn't like what the big data revealed. The output didn't fit The Message, or The Ideology. So they ignored it. They decided to use the good ol' twitter mobs to Gaughan the success of a show/concept instead.

Millions of electric cars are coming. What happens to all the dead batteries?
Germany kept on increasing their dependence on Russian gas imports by building Nord Stream 2 after the first invasion of Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea, instead of diversifying their gas supplies. This was an intentional and knowing decision on their part.
> it would have been quicker if Germany had kept nuclear online no question

This is a misconception.

Germany invested in renewables because we wanted to get rid of nuclear, not to save the climate. Germany has a population of about 80 million. That's a sufficiently large sample, so one cannot expect Germans to be psychologically or morally different to any other large population in the world. And none of those countries has managed to do something about the climate in any meaningful sense. Consequently, neither would have Germany.

Without a nuclear phase out, there would have been almost no investments in wind & solar from Germany. Consequently, neither wind nor solar would look as impressive as they do now because today's prices would have been reached only in a decade or so.

The level of coal power would have been mostly unaffected.

But you used a binary term "illiquid" rather than opting for something more open like "most illiquid". Just wanted to make a clarificaiton for other readers.

Are you aware that most crypto projects also opt into vesting patterns - and this is an increasing trend overall?

Another thing that might be interesting to you is that in most countries we have close to no public information if founders sell on secondaries. Your C-Suite might have maximized their secondaries in mutliple rounds and you wouldn't even know that incentives have changed.

In Crypto this is fully transparent and there are people bringing these to light on a consistent basis.

Some stuff to think about!
Sure as long as you're relying the market and not the government to give this to you.

I personally don't care one bit about replacing the battery in my cell phone. I don't want to be reliant on one single corporation, but as long as the parts are available to other professionals I can pay, I'm fine.

I do want the waterproofness and compactness that goes with this, particular for my watch which is also a phone for the record, so I consider this to go far beyond what is reasonable as a legal restriction.

In other words, I hope you're not one of those people who thinks Right to Repair gives you a vote as to how companies design their products. That's annoying.

Content is king. But so is IP. Disney competes based on its IP. Disney has multiple studios that can create series that people will automatically see based on their IP - Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, and Disney.

If i recall correctly from another news source on this topic they are refusing due yo the economics (as a result of the anti nuclear sentiment).
I think the word valued is hiding a lot.

With startups, the "value" comes from investors who are willing to buy stock at a certain price with certain conditions, one of which is that the rule of law prevents you from stealing company money. If that law were not there, or could not be relied upon, investors would not be willing to invest at that price, and the "value" would be much less.

Or at least, that is my theory of how things should work, because crypto valuations seem to have proved me wrong.
There are several. Not according to order.

1. Chopin prelude plays on a bluetooth speaker. The room is dark. My mechanical keyboard emanates light. I solve problems with code. Code that is efficient, ingenious, redable, and scalable.

2. Learning new things in general. Or when it fits already accumulated knowledge. Like a new node in an already existing tree. This is somewhat abstract, sorry.

3. Spending time with SO. Any kind of time. Even mundane tasks like grocery shopping. I love her, and everything about her!

4. Cuddling with the dog. He reciprocates with licks and funny sounds and tail-wagging. Especially if it happens in our mango grove when there is strong breeze and there is no sun.

5. Swimming alone in a pond or lake when there is strong breeze and no sun (overcast). Especially butterfly and swimming face-up with no movement at all, with my ears submerged.

6. Being surrounded by mom and dad and eating special preparation cooked by her with dad reminiscing from his childhood.

7. Sitting in dark on rooftop while there is strong breeze. And reading calm, serene books like The Little Schemer.

8. Learning new Math. Gaining new perspectives, solving new problems.

9. Reading poetry that might not be mainstream but really touches me and are literary masterpieces. Like Vaishnava Padavalis and poems by Michael MS Dutt, and Jibanananda.

10. Being with like minded friends and dipping my feet in a river stream.

11. Understanding a hard, involved topic, and then explaining it plainly to people and when they get it. Especially if there is a strong stigma around the subject/topic being hard.

12. Thinking with writing and gaining new perspectives that I would not have gained without writing. pg talks about thinking with writing often. Also, randomly gaining epiphanies while doing something else.

13. Reciting poetry, especially when somewhat drunk.

14. Climbing highs with elongated period of hard work. Especially highs that I want to climb.

15. Consuming very high quality media of any kind. Like The Wire, Don Quixote, John Coltrane's Jazz, Chopin's Nocturnes, etc.

16. Reading big fat novels that are decades old, in paperback format, idly lying in bed in natural daylight and spending 5-6 hours doing it. Especially if the weather is somewhat hot.

17. After having exercised in the day, and having done deep focused work for some hours, the sleep I go into at night.

18. When I can help people that matters and there is a minor cost to myself. Or I have to work hard to help.

19. When beautiful, mature women pay attention to me/stare at me.
> How does this happen again 15 years later?

It didn't stop. Lehmans were thrown under the bus and business continued like there's no tomorrow with more and more financial instruments created and investment bankers putting their clients money in crap positions.

> I don't get it. Crashing over and over doesn't seem good for anyone.

There's money to be made on crashes, too. And if someone got rich before, they can patiently wait. There'll be money to be made before next crash, too. I doubt the pattern bothers them. Have you heared how Buffet assigns blame[1]?

I think all your points are spot on. One thing to add is that we are in the golden age of content (it takes some volume to discover on good shows), and it is probably coming to end as cheap money goes away. At no point in history has so much money been spent on content creation.

At 17B/year Netflix alone spends ~$48/year for every single person in the US. Prime spends 13B, Apple 6B, Disney 33B, Warner (HBO, etc...) 18B. Or put another way ~$250/person in the US/year on content.

Even if accounting for world wide distribution, these numbers are just not sustainable from an investment standpoint.
It's usually on a syntactical level, to disable reassigning a value. For objects this means the reference is still mutable, value types are locked.

Js has const, C has const, Java final.

Imho it'd be awesome if mutability were not the default and we would have to mark mutability, but until then any variable that doesn't need it, is final. Which also helps skimming code

Even using your numbers, if you want to keep say only 3 months of data, we're talking about 1-2 PB already. Being able to query those data across different segments, aggregate into different dimensions is already quite far beyond what you can do w/ off the shelve postgresql or sqlite.

And in general, in companies the size of airbnb, you don't control all the data sources to be super efficient, because that's organizationally impossible. So instead the data will be de normalized, etc.

There is a reason most companies with those problems use systems like BQ, snowflake, and co. If it were possible to do with sqlite, a lot of them would do it.

And that's how they will be killed.

Dependent type systems don't deal well with non termination. In general you can't prove a program will or won't terminate. The solution is to disallow recursion except through a few eliminators which do recursion in a well founded way that is guaranteed to halt.

The reason they don't work well with recursion is you could have something like:
false :: _|_
false = false

Where false is a function we are defining of the uninhabited type.
