1) Accuracy - their accuracy is unmatched. Seriously, reliability is the #1 reason I value Bloomberg. I've used most of their competitors and I almost always have to double/triple check primary sources if I'm going to publish the data in a high profile report, but I can rely on Bloomberg.

2) Speed - they are extremely fast to publish market news. Their reporters are very good and have a lot of primary sources and scoops, especially for companies that may not be otherwise newsworthy.

3) Excel integration - their Excel plugin is huge, it's almost like it's own program. Many of our spreadsheets are built around them. You can pretty much export every data field in the exact format you want if you know what you're doing

4) Support - they have staff available to answer questions 24/7, and their staff is extremely knowledgeable. It's the most amazing customer service I've ever experienced. Imagine you're a new analyst at an investment bank, fresh out of school, it's 1am, you've been told to put together a model and you have no idea what you're doing. You type HELP HELP in a Bloomberg terminal and they'll not only help you, but they often will make the spreadsheet for you.

All that said, their user interface is terrible (though it has its fans, and it is extremely fast once you've learned the shortcuts) and accessibility is cumbersome, especially if you're working remotely or want something fast from your desktop. But I'm still a huge fan. I don't even use it for trading, I mostly focus on equities and mergers, though they would be the first place I'd check if I needed info on fixed income or derivatives too.
>Such contempt is not unique to "these days"

It certainly is among otherwise self-declared tolerant people. The Atlantic wrote a great piece a few years ago called 'The War on Stupid people', pointing out that in communities that have strict rules of conduct concerning just about any form of discrimination, you'll find people casually joking about 'darwin awards' when some stupid person dies a grueling death. Imagine you'd introduce one for obese people in a tolerant, young internet community.

Intelligence is increasingly conflated with human worth, and people who scoff at every form of inequality these days will gladly make an exception for intelligence, calling it meritocratic. The word itself is a good indicator of the change in attitude, given that Michael Young who coined it did so for satirical purposes, describing a future British society that is governed by an undemocratic elite selected through IQ tests.
I tried Gnome for the last year or so and finally got fed up with how opinionated it was, and switched to KDE. But KDE was too janky -- you can customize it to perfection but if things don't work it's not perfection. So I'm back to Cinnamon.

Completley agree with you. My reply was way too harsh/emotional. There are many companies that offer skill based pre-interview tests, tossing out resumes based on qualifications is not just silly but a liability and a sign of incompetence. The worst hiring managers are reductionists that act on instincts and prejudice.

Russia is selling to Europe, India and China

Apparently not having McD's in Russia is "punishment"?

Good work Joe
Thank you for giving these details. I feel like AI is the next step in some kind of implementation war after languages and then browsers.
I agree I don't want to do metaphorical gymnastics, and yet law and the interpretation of it can be exactly that. I mean often SCOTUS is trying to extrapolate meaning from 1-2 sentences in a Constitution written over 200 years ago, using many metaphors to do so.

I also don't feel very clear on what are the relevant trade offs, but maybe it's more clear to you. What do you see as the relevant tradeoffs?

right, but those "nodes" are basically proxy nodes which fan out to thousands of individual miners which are actually burning the hashes. since downtime is extremely costly, i expect that those operators to have multiple geographically distributed proxy pool leaders ready to be switched on at a moments notice.

for the purposes of an entity that can be attacked, yes, the pool leaders are such... but since the pools are just proxies and the actual miners have incentives to stay online, i imagine new pools would form pretty quickly.

finally, everyone focuses on the 51% attack as the end-all, be-all. the only net effect of a 51% attack is that someone might be able to double spend. the cost of running the attack would require that the double spend be pretty massive to make it worth it, and for any massive transaction anyone prudent would wait until said transaction was quite deep in the chain before considering it done (thus requiring even more hashpower to undo it).
It’s because they don’t know why the heart muscles died.
The existence and continued renewal of historical enclaves is not an indication that America does not integrate immigrants or that America has not been enriched by their presence. (It's almost absurd to say. America is far from being "little England", and the culture I grew up with was so clearly influenced by the various peoples who settled the area, I don't even know what you could possibly mean.)

America is currently home to almost 50 million immigrants, representing about 13% of our population. This is more than any country on Earth by number, and something like 8th by percentage. This number is just immigrants, not the American children of immigrants.

The population of Chinatown in SF is around 35,000. Only 80% of that is some kind of Asian. The Chinese-American population of San Francisco is around 175,000 (out of around 850,000; total Asian-American population is around 280,000). There are areas of concentration, but you've a great chance of having a Chinese-American neighbor or two wherever you live in the city. The population of Little Italy in Manhattan is just under half white, with less than 10% being ethnically Italian. Similar demographic changes for Little Russia in SF. With the exception of some religious enclaves (e.g. Hasidic Jews), this is probably the case for most enclaves in the US older than (say) 50 years.

Enclaves existed in Europe historically and still exist today. Both in the US and in Europe, enclaves formed both naturally as a thing immigrants did to survive in their new host country and as part of government plans.

Ethnically, in the US the lines are essentially gone. Almost no one cares if your grandmother was Irish or your cousin married a Greek. (There are some pockets where people do care, but they're usually associated with historical beef—or generalized racism—and they're by far the exception.) To the extent non-white people care about ethnicity, it is probably correlated with how recently their ancestors immigrated, with recent immigrants themselves most likely to hold such views. I doubt this is that different from Europe.

We do tend to divide more along racial lines; especially between certain groups—usually with outspoken people in BOTH groups having a problem with mixing. This is seen both socially and geographically; especially in some places. (Even this has changed significantly over my lifetime in places I thought it wouldn't.) I don't really know how this compares to Europe.
This is like solving homelessness by putting spikes on benches to keep people from sleeping there: It doesn't solve the problem, it just pushes it out of your jurisdiction.
GitHub allows you to opt your repos out if (and only if) you pay for Copilot.
It might be beautiful _for you_. Nobody's saying you can't find a lot of beautiful places and experiences in the US. But it's marred by a degree of neuroticism that explains why so many people I know in the US have friends with issues with drug dependency and overuse (prescribes and illegal), health issues, and vibe that goes between depressing and fake.
And the very next sentence after that one:

“Many elite private schools, meanwhile, avoided pandemic-related schooling loss almost entirely.”
I was always insecure about my intelligence and I remember coming away with this same idea from the book. Life is really just a series of experiences. You don't need to meet a certain standard or qualify yourself in order to have positive experiences or to have an impact. We often place so much emphasis on comparison and measuring our success/potential that we miss the whole process of living.
Try buckwheat and rye as well.
China has eradicated omicron. Shanghai had _zero_ cases of omicron reported on June 24th. A couple months ago they were seeing 25k+ cases a day. This is a city of 25 million people, the third largest and most dense city in the world. And yet somehow with a collective attitude and government support they beat back the virus and have fully reopened and returned to normal.

Contrast this with the United States where we have so far had over _one million deaths_ from COVID-19. In the same timespan China has seen just a few thousand deaths.

If China can do it, why can't the US?
This is exactly the same reason I didn't develop an addiction. Being forced to be disciplined about data seems to have had a knock-on effect of lowering my dependence on the phone in general.
This looks quite interesting. I had not heard of it, before.

At first blush, it seems to make sense. I'll review it, in my copious free time...
For single machine workloads, it's probably still largely true. Though so sensitive to details that it's not a particularly useful benchmark. SQLite is often literally unbelievably fast for many operations, and having it operating in the same process gives it a substantially lower minimum that separate dedicated processes can't compete with.

But it's not really designed to do things asynchronously (e.g. no background optimizing while idle), or as-efficiently for very large (or strange) operations. Simpler caches and indexes, more straightforward behavior, etc.

It has, and it doesn't.
It's not absurd. When I was in elementary in the US 20 years ago I was _astounded_ at how medicated children were and how many kids suffered from the most random allergies.

It's not poverty in the classical sense of a third-world country for sure. Doesn't make it any better.
This seems comparable to something like Benzinga Pro but seems to have less features.
Anyone here try switching to a flip phone?
For certain classes of crime, pushing the criminals out also increases the crime rate.

I recall reading about a study on this where pushing criminals out of a 'bad neighborhood' caused the crime rate in that area to drop, but the rate in two adjacent neighborhoods went up by 60% of the drop in the 'bad' one.
I just wish organizations would quit pushing two-factor authentication on people who don't want it. If I have a 30-character passphrase (inspired by "correct horse battery staple") that I'll never need to write down, then do I really need additional protection for my accounts? (…yeah, probably I do and I'm just being naive; maybe someone will look over my shoulder in a coffee shop.)

I miss the good old days when there weren't ads between posts on Instagram, and just having a password was enough, and websites forced cookies on you without asking permission, and the YouTube subscription button was yellow. And I'm only 24. I'll make a great crotchety old man someday.
TL;DR. Can someone summarize this for me?
Your frustration is at least understandable, but personal attacks because you disagree with someone's hiring process are not appropriate, not helpful, and just going to make it even harder for you to get hired if anyone in a decision making role sees them.

I'll also echo what others have said, in that certs are commonly used by people trying to compensate for a lack of actual skills. That's not always true, but it is often enough that the correlation is bound to stick in people's minds even if they don't explicitly exclude applicants because of it. If you do have both a lot of certs _and_ solid skills and experience, then kudos -- but you may want to consider tailoring resumes and other materials to the jobs you apply to based on their applicability and expected reception. (That's generally good advice for anything, but particularly for things like this that could have both positive or negative connotations in different circumstances.)

My first laptop was a Dell which I bought circa 2000 and cost about 4,000 in today's money. I thought they were the best. But later on the Quality Assurance Auditor for a company I once worked for told me that he did the following: After purchasing a Dell laptop with "Gold" support backup he could not get the support to fix his particular issue. Numerous attempts failed so he brought the laptop to the local Dell factory and smashed it to pieces using a sledgehammer in the carpark in front of the entrance. I am not making that up and I believe he really did it.
> even four 9's give 50 minutes a year to do maintenance work.

Just the security patching of the host OS will likely consume a bunch of those minutes.

Not sure what point you were trying to make apart from that. I am not advocating that people should leave system to rot.
Because they are the base that the republican party answers to. They are the Supreme Court justices who are members of the Federalist Society who have been playing the long game to overturn Roe and other decisions. I'm portraying those who have actually been doing the mechanisms of overturning Roe. This isn't some hypothetical debate, these are organized groups mobilizing to enact change.
The person who apparently has no pictures or video of the defective laptop in question and instead dug around google image search for their tweet missive?

Which, by the way, has multiple screenshots of correspondence with dell but not a single photo or video of this very defective laptop?
I think I'd recommend teaching Move semantics not Copy semantics from the outset, because Move semantics work fine everywhere in Rust and the Copy semantics are just an optimisation. As you've found, if you teach Copy then for types which aren't Copy you now need to teach Move.

Languages like Kotlin and Swift are doing a lot of lifting to deliver this behaviour for String, and of course they can't keep it up, so students who've done more than a little Kotlin or Swift will be aware of the idea of "reference semantics" in those languages where most of the objects they use do not have the behaviour they've seen in String which is instead pretending to be a value type like an integer.

Again, if you only teach Move, you're fine. After not very long a student will wonder how they can duplicate things (since they didn't know Copy), and you can show them Clone. Clone works everywhere. Is cloning a usize idiomatic Rust? No it is not. Does it work just fine anyway? Of course it does! And of course Clone is implemented for String, and for most types beginners will ever see.
If a public school has been delivering failing results for more than a decade, maybe shutting it down isn’t such a terrible idea. What’s the alternative? Continue to throw money and resources at teachers and administrators who have proven they can’t effectively educate students?
> I expect the warranty was voided

Like what the siblings said, the warranty is not voided.

In some cases (e.g. Lenovo) even if you change the NVMe SSD
or RAM (assuming non-soldered-on ones) your warranty is still there excluding the parts you touched.
Odd, was just having lunch with a friend and asked if he'd ever read this book -- low and behold, here it is on HN.

This is the short story version, but I've read the book several times. It's not Tolstoy level literature, but I find myself drawn into this beautiful story of life, death, and compassion again and again.
Will definitely check out "observation", sound interesting!

I feel like the next step after recognizing and slowing/stopping the problem is with filling that void with meaningful work. For this I recommend "Deep Work" by Cal Newport. I felt like that book gave me the tools I needed to not just stop the bad habit, but replace it with constructive ones
> we'd rather block access from the EU than do the right thing, that is, protecting your data by removing that junk

This phrasing is misleading. It's not "protecting our data" (implying they need to take extra precautions to prevent our data, defenseless on its own, from falling into the wrong hands).

It's refraining from actively spying on us. There's no "protection" needed - if they just do nothing, that would comply with the GDPR.
I appreciate that she draws the link between monoculture crops, land use, and the health of ecosystems upon which agriculture depends.

Organics are important not because GMOs are the enemy but rather because the land use change is inherently bad for all life in that area. GMOs don't have to lead to monoculture crops that span acres or rampant neonicotinoid insecticides, but they often do, and it's precisely at that point we can see drastic changes in a biome's stability and therefore the health of bees among many other pollinators. That's why we need to be talking about insect numbers at large and not only bees.

The study of biodiversity has an extremely difficult time modeling these kinds of changes, and that's probably why many scientists won't go to bat against this kind of land use change. A self-respecting scientist won't say that converting croplands to monocultures ready for insecticide use lead to biodiversity die-off because it's hard to actually track the fluctuations between species. It takes so much time to collect data to analyze before we even get an inkling of the interplay. We understand so little about the microscale interactions and how it fits into our larger understanding of agriculture and land development.

For those who think this is all overblown and alarmist, go sit on the grass -- if you can find a patch -- and stare at a spot until it comes alive. Things are moving around and teeming with a multitude of species of plants and insects. The reality you see escapes unnoticed until you stop to think about the ecological systems that underpin our fragile existence. Our health depends on a functional biosphere. If we cannot figure out how to share the earth with its other inhabitants, what the fuck are we doing going to Mars?
hm, guess they updated it. it used to keep a score for each peer in terms of misbehavior and then banlist the source ip address if a peer misbehaved too much.

overall the whole system operates under the assumption that peers are untrusted and unauthenticated, so it's more nuisance prevention than anything.
A large portion of the "FOSS" cherishes IP law and using it to enforce source availability of derivative works.
Rust strings are difficult for others coming from statically typed and low level languages as well.

It’s one of the types programmers will most often encounter, and yet it’s one of the most obtuse topics within rust.
Someone about ten years ago worked out that the snows of Kilimanjaro are fed by the vegetation upwind from the mountain. Whatever global warming is doing, deforestation is doing faster.
Thanks for this very well thought-out response. Will implement much of these thoughts
> I don't really care about the outcome of the war.

Which IMO is a comment that only a shitty person would make.
I went through what I'd consider my version of this with RSS blog feeds back in the 00s. It wasn't a problem with notifications distracting me, it was the constant feeling that I wasn't keeping up with the feed (and I wasn't). Took a while to notice the stress it was contributing to my life but eventually it dawned on me and I had to drop the RSS feeds all together to get rid of it (every feed was to important to cut). So I switched to a different medium (reddit + hn) where there wasn't that feeling of a feed to keep up with.
Tesla might be the best example of just such a company. And yeah, Elon didn’t want to be CEO. Even tried to get Diess on board. But there was no other choice. Good for the company, I guess, because no great technologist will actually want to be CEO.

>Substantial portion' is not interpreted by you, it is interpreted by courts and juries. How it is interpreted depends on jurisdiction and more[0]

Yes and like standard your cite says none of the interpretations would cover a snippet.

Github/MS aren't going for the 'safe bet'. They're going for the maximum that they can get away with.
Walkability and crime go hand in hand. If crime is high on a street, people will not want to walk on that street. Because of this, shops will close, and any reasonable walkability score will drastically go down. You cannot have high walkability and high crime. They are intrinsically linked.

If your goal is reducing crime, increasing walkability is an excellent way of achieving that. The more walkable areas are, the more regular people will be walking in that area. The more regular people that are walking in an area, the safer it is. Walkable areas are also much easier to police and keep safe since they are naturally much more dense and less spread out, so there is vastly less surface area to cover.
But some of types of things have in fact changed, sometimes for seemingly trivial reasons.

For example, the master/main branch shift. Everything broke when that change was made, but it happened and it wasn't a big deal.

I'm not seeing the difficulty here. It seems that a more reasonable interpretation is that git has the type of interface that is hard to learn, but intuitive once learned.
