Is it possible both things are true?

From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional-reserve_banking

Fractional-reserve banking is the system of banking operating in almost all countries worldwide,[1][2] under which banks may hold liquid assets representing only a portion of the deposits that they are liable to pay.[3] These liquid assets, known as reserves, may include cash in the bank or balances in the bank's account at the central bank. The country's central bank determines the minimum amount that banks must hold in liquid assets, called the "reserve requirement" or "reserve ratio". Most commercial banks hold more than this minimum amount as excess reserves.

The page does mention something similar to what the parent comment was saying:

When a loan is made by the commercial bank, the bank is keeping only a fraction of central bank money as reserves and the money supply expands by the size of the loan.[5] This process is called "deposit multiplication".
Ok but there was discussion about Haskell so I was sticking to that... of course if you can have functional as an extra without preventing imperative in the low level then you can apply the best of both worlds.

I think people forget what a huge success she was/is. I was too young to experience this first-hand but I'm glad I started listening in the last few years. Her music, particularly her voice, sounded odd to me at first, but I think it's brilliant now. I think you can particularly get a sense of what a great singer she is when you listen to the vocal part of covers of her songs -- she can't be matched IMO.
Nobody wants it. It would be great if we could just run an arbitrarily large RDBMS as one node.

Sadly, hardware has limits, especially if you use cheap(er) virtual hardware. OTOH you can see Stackoverflow pulling just this trick: a single colossal SQL server handles most of the load [1]. They, of course, run two DB servers because they need a hot spare.

Going through court will lead to even more dragged out speculation and hurt Twitter more than any other party. They can't be 100% sure that they will win the case, and will also have to work to run the company on the side in a continuing state of limbo with the acquisition litigation. In the end, even if they win, and Musk must buys the company at the deal price, by the time that goes through the markets may as well have rebounded to make the acquisition price reasonable again. Buying a company isn't like buying a piece of candy and eating it to the point of no return. The amount of money Elon has on paper won't be impacted, which a lot of people are not understanding. The winners at the end of the day would be the lawyers and millions of dollars dumped into fighting a case instead of settling.
Using entirely made up nunbers, I think the situation is something like:

* Firehose shows 800m accounts were active yesterday

* Using data from the firehose (user agents, IP addresses, behaviour analysis, etc.) you can flag 500m of those accounts as fake, spam, bots, etc., leaving 300m

* Twitter then uses their experience, intuition, business judgement, etc., to apply an additional adjustment to those numbers, reduces them by 25%, and announces a mDAU of 225m

* Musk calls foul, and says they should have used a bigger discount, because a lot of that 225m are still fake or spam accounts

* Twitter says no, they're pretty sure it's like 11m of that 225m at most

In this hypothetical, the firehose data isn't helpful, because it's just one of the inputs, and not the one that's in dispute. Musk isn't arguing about whether there were 800m (or whatever) total active accounts, or 300m seemingly real accounts, but over whether 25% was a good guess for how many fake accounts were hidden in that seemingly real accounts.

Hard to know for sure without herself saying so, but in Babooshka she used a CS-80 and you can hear some vibrato, but I don't know if she used aftertouch for that. You can however hear the CS-80 ribbon there very clearly in this song, mimicking the fretless bass. The ribbon was also used a lot in the Blade Runner soundtrack, btw.

It's also in the background of All We Ever Look For (backing a Fairlight sampling a whistle). There's clearly some amplitude control going on but then again it could be something else (clever envelope programming or even just getting lucky with compression).
There's an exception allowing you to record if you're in a car involved with something:

> The same exception extends to anyone recording while in a vehicle involved in a police stop.

>And if you were filming before and caught the cop doing something illegal, they are now incentivized to arrest you to make you stop.

Wouldn't they be incentivized the exact same amount before this law? I don't see how this law makes that worse.

>A bystander interfering with police has nothing to do with recording and is already illegal.

Many specific instances are debatable whether it's interference or not. What if the cameraperson is 1 foot from the cop? 2 feet? 5 feet? 10 feet? This law makes it clear what the distance is so people don't have to debate in the moment or in the courtroom.
Yes, I do. However, they are rarely worked on to the point of being read by an audience (of any size).

> A union is a monopoly on labor, which has all the downsides of monopolies on goods or production.

I appreciate your citation of those papers, but I feel that this is an unjust comparison -- unions raise wages for workers even outside of their industry, whereas industrial monopolies frequently depress wages and raise prices for the benefit of a privileged few (generally executives and large shareholders). Unions are, historically, a reaction to that power imbalance of industrial monopolies, and attempt to counter diminished bargaining power. Unions increase economic equality, while industrial monopolies decrease it.

This reminds me of the debate over universal healthcare -- critics asserted that it decreased labor force participation, and was therefore a failure, when others argued was that it was evidence of its success--as people who wanted or needed to quit their job, such as those also acting as a caretaker, but previously didn't yet qualify for medicare, could finally retire.

Abolishing slavery also increased unemployment, as do raising interest rates -- the youth unemployment rate is a single data point to be balanced with other economic indicators that at the end are simply tools to tell a story about the prosperity of a society. Unions density, low poverty rates, and high wages are correlated across not just states but the entire world.
I’ve been pitched ideas many times, some were good and some were not so good. What I liked to see was a clear presentation because that usually meant clear thinking behind the idea.
If you are the only debtor and they have the money (no need to sell anything) then it is actually really fast. The court just takes over the bank accounts and sends you the money.

The real slowness of the process kicks in when there are multiple parties claiming their money and there isn’t enough assets to pay everyone.
In that case I don't think this law made it any worse. It was probably already illegal to interfere with lawful police actions.

Also, because I had a sneaking suspicion - Strathdee was an HIV researcher. In fairness, most of infectious disease epidemiology is HIV research.

It's entirely reasonable she wouldn't have necessarily heard of a fairly niche therapy in another area - phage is basically a non-starter for global health (where her work was), and hospital epidemiology is a very niche field.
I have seen part-time/contract remote technical writing jobs on AngelList. Opportunities definitely exist.

But that doesn't necessarily free you from interviewing their SMEs, sitting in review meetings, and other typical TW activities. If, by "independent", you mean working by yourself with little dependency on or communication with others, then it's a bit of a toss-up because every company is different.
To be fair, that totally looks like a tourist attraction to me. Where I come from the only places painted in bright colours like that are theme parks or children's play grounds. No "real" housing would be painted like that, so the assumption may have been that these must be for tourists because why else would they look like that? Of course different cultures are different though (this is why we travel in the first place - to see and experience something different) and things will therefore be different than they are back home, so people should check their assumptions when traveling.

I guess what I am getting at is that people's cultural upbringing is different, and so their expectations are different. This is unconscious bias but for houses I guess. That is not to excuse people for entering someone's home without permission, but that does look like an attraction to me. Personally I would not just walk in unless it was obvious, but then everyone is different.

That’s a fascinating read. Thanks.
My theory is they can't build anything worthwhile themselves, so they find something popular but with problems, which allows their ego to divert attention away from their own inadequacies.
Yeah - this is something I discovered at UCSC in 1988, and for a few years I carried a mini tape recorder around everywhere with the sound of several dollars in quarters dropping into a payphone (recorded on to tape from the receiver of my phone in the dorm, as quarters were dropped into a payphone on campus). I was amazed when this actually worked (I had never heard of anything like this being done before), and, because it was the sound of the quarter dropping (the physical noise of it moving through the phone) plus the "beep beep beep beep beep", even if an operator was on the line this method could be used without being detected. My first international test was calling the Hard Rock Cafe in Helsinki (the operator was on the whole time as the "coins" were dropping).

Around 1992 I read about being able to replace the crystal in one of those little phone dialer things you could get at Radio Shack with one of a different megahertz to change the pitch of the DTMF sound so that pressing one of the numbers would make the nickel sound (I ordered this little part from Mouser Electronics). You would program the device to make five in a row to simulate the quarter. It was a bit more convenient than the little tape recorder (but, the downside of this technique is that if an operator was listening, it sounded obviously fake). A bit later I recorded the quarter sound from the tape to one of those little key fob recorders for even more convenience.

When I moved to Florida in 1993 this technique didn't work on most of the payphones around - I guess it was the start of payphone deregulation, and these phones had the mouthpiece disabled until the money was put in and the call was put through, so the sounds could not be played through it. There were a couple AT&T payphones around, and the technique did still work on those. I think around 1997 was the last time I successfully used this technique.

No, because the goal with sanctions is explicitly to cause this kind of economic damage by denying capital to the country under sanctions.

There’s a big leap from “some layperson might misuse this for medical advice” to “code generated by GPT-3, for any purpose, cannot be reviewed and fixed by expert human programmers,” which is where this thread started. I’m not sure what you’re arguing, or if you’re even trying to support that original point.
Didn't know about that. I'm using default shell shortcuts, which are different set of shortcuts. Like:

* Ctrl-u: clear line and start from the beginning
* Ctrl-a: go to the beginning of line
* Ctrl-e: go to the end of line
* Ctrl-b: move backwards
* Ctrl-f: move forwards
* Ctrl-c: leave the command as it is, just cancel the command and start with new line
* Ctrl-w: delete a word before cursor
* Ctrl-h: delete a character before before cursor
* Ctrl-d: delete a character after cursor
* Ctrl-t: swap last 2 characters (this is one of my favourites in terms of lulz, I actually trained myself to use it :D)
* ...

Pulled these out of my fingers, but there are more. Don't know the correct source to point to.

What's good about those is that they work by default and behind every computer.

In a block cipher you should be able to work with 256 bits at a time. You'd be typing 32 characters at a time (assuming ASCII) which get written out at once after you've somehow derived a secure key.

It's not like you can get much feedback from the system in its weird encryption mode either as it's typing out garbage, unless you teach yourself to decode the message from the top of your head (but at that point you don't need the machine to encrypt for you).

The sad truth, of course, is that the Russian ability to produce things that go boom in quantity and deliver it to the battlefield far outstrips the collective West's capacity.

And that goes back to the different approaches highlighted during the space race. While the US spent millions developing a pen that would work in space, the Russians just used a pencil.

I've had some good ability with reading laws thanks to programming experience. But I'd say law is more about reading and interpreting rules, while programming is about writing rules based off existing ones. I dislike reading code, so I'd probably not enjoy being a lawyer.

Philosophy is a nice parallel. Paul Graham is notable for being both philosopher and programmer.

I'm scroll on reddit, I see few interesting things, I click one, it wasn't as good as I thought but the other thing I read was looking good, I go back, it's nowhere now.

Where did you get the idea that I practice oop? I exclusively use FP, and I use hexagonal-ish fp design. But question. Suppose you discover you have a logic bug and you write a pure logic test for it. But perhaps the path through the business logic was written by someone else, who has since left the company. It's a tax rule so you have to navigate through several layers of abstractions that are sometimes specialized for different countries, sometimes generalized. Maybe they didn't write all the tests that you'd like to see. You have one hour to deploy a patch because 9-5 customers are entering their work hours on a different continent whose tax rules are what you need to fix. How do you introspect the data that are moving through the code?

> If 50% of fertilized eggs are naturally lost in the first week, how do you decide which should be investigated by the government? Should the government be examining women for IUDs?

Couldn't very early abortions like that be effectively stopped just by banning the pills that are meant to cause them, without having to investigate early miscarriages at all? And no, the government generally shouldn't be examining women for IUDs, since that would constitute an unreasonable search without probable cause.

No, she can give the baby up for adoption instead.

Java 8 has nullability plus some of the sexy functional programming stuff like map and filter.

I think Kotlin's real selling point is things like lambdas. You get stuff like Jetpack Compose, which become much more readable with it. Stuff like combine() mixed together with coroutines, which helps a lot with anything async (UI, local and remote DBs).

A practical example is combining multiple different sources into one LiveData or State variable. It's a way to asynchronously update stuff without a lot of mental overhead.
