I get that.

I guess I wound up toward the dawless end of the spectrum because I didn’t buy an iPad or another laptop…electronic music requires hardware either way I think.

Where I am at right now, it helps to remove software from the picture.

If the DAW solved audio and midi signal routing, then it would be a friction for friction trade off. But the daw doesn’t eliminate cables and configuration…VST’s excepted.

I have a Tascam DP 006 and the QX5 for recording. The QX will loop, transpose, and rechannel MIDI too.

Basically, I can do everything I think I want to do without a laptop.

That could easily change of course.

Dawless is an engineering design choice not an ideological hill I would die on.

My point is that there are a dozen factors that account for the difference in housing costs.

The median income, the population density relative to the housing inventory, the weather, the demand, etc.
Most of these pieces of evidence seem worrisome. If I transact with a vendor and they screw me on the second transaction, why should my using the same payment method count against my chargeback?

“Login credentials” and “proof of use” are obviously vague statements, but hopefully require something very specific. If someone acquires my credit card, sets up an account on a service, and uses that service, it doesn’t make it any less fraudulent.
I think we should split the difference.

Yes, Uber is close to break-even and they aren't going to just disappear. But there's still a big gap for them to close between "breaking even" and "profitable enough to justify a $50B valuation."

There's plenty of room for a moderate view in which Uber survives as a business but their investors are extremely unhappy.
Should be noted, Minecraft already allows Java server owners to take a surprisingly large piece of the pie. They've loosened the EULA to allow most forms of pay-to-win, you can pretty much sell whatever you want as long as it's not the specific narrow situation of items/commands that benefit a player's ability to PVP, used on a server that is almost exclusively dedicated towards competitive PVP. Other than that it's free reign and there's quite a lot of shady pay-to-win servers out there. (There are many ways to "win" in the game other than PVP, such as digging a massive hole -- no kidding, on our homely non-profit server we do competitive hole-digging and take it VERY seriously and would be pissed if someone was able to purchase an advantage.)

Great tool! Thanks for building this.

I noticed lack of below asset classes in the list:

1) US Small Cap Stocks (e.g. Russell 2000 Index)
2) International Large Cap Stocks (MSCI EAFE Index)
3) International Small Cap Stocks (MSCI EAFE Index)
4) Emerging Market Large Cap Stocks (MSCI Emerging Markets Index)

Adding these would greatly improve the optimizer.
That question doesn’t make much sense. If you have quorum then eventually repairs will kick in and will get replicated everywhere.

So it can tolerate up to N/2 failures just like other consensus system. Because this is basically Raft.
Visa are the ones framing this as "fraud." Personally I view a business placing a cardholder in a position where they NEED to do a chargeback as anti-consumer.

The chargeback process needs to evolve wherein consumers actually abusing it lose, and businesses abusing consumers lose. Regardless it shouldn't cost a business anything if they WIN.

There are numerous stories in this thread alone about businesses continuing to charge people after cancellation and other good-faith interventions. Visa as essentially saying they won't help in those cases since the business can prove a pre-existing relationship. That's not ok.

Heck, maybe we need a kind of "unsubscribe" mechanism from Visa's side. Something that isn't a chargeback (which they'd reserve for actual fraud) but a mechanism where a vendor just cannot charge that card anymore without getting a NEW agreement/contract.
You are looking at it from the wrong end, averages mask the issue.
Consider this: Romanian state employees generate multiple X less fraud than average Romanians. Bank serving them may lose cents per customer per year and make, say, $50 per year.
A neobank in the US engaged in predatory lending to gig workers may lose $60 per customer per year, but may make $200.

If you compare similar segments and similar business models, the difference can be 2-4 orders of magnitude, depending on segment.

I am not a cryptography expert, but doesn’t this requirement make it more difficult to have end-to-end encryption unless users take key exchange into their own hands?
uber's unit economics will easily work out if they stop expanding (which is where the expenses are).

Their backend services have a "fixed cost", if you assume they've designed it to be scalable, such that the marginal cost of a new user doesn't add more cost to hosting and compute. Then fire most engineers, and keep some skeleton crew maintaining the services.

The other cost is obviously the payment to drivers. I believe the unit economics will work here, since uber is not making capital investments into equipment, and is paid per-ride. Competition would drive the margins down, but thin margin is still a positive unit economics. Right now, the cost is subsidized by uber, but only as a marketing tactic to obtain marketshare and drive out competitors (unsuccessfully i might add). Uber can choose to stop the subsidizing, which can then make the unit economics positive.
They've clearly put thought and strategy into this, rather than just trying to recycle content. Maybe it'll pay off, but it feels kind of sad that serious journalists have to put on a song and dance to keep our attention.

> Consoles are computers, just as surely as an iPhone is.

I don’t think most people see it that way. Game consoles could be general purpose computers if you changed the operating system, but no one (except maybe PS3 customers) buys a game console expecting to use it for general computing.

Likewise, the computer in a Tesla is probably powerful enough to run a full desktop operating system, but it’s clearly not what it was designed for, not what anyone bought it for, and not what anyone reasonably expects it to be used for.

Smartphones are indisputably general purpose computing devices.
Can't use data due to privacy concern
Have people encountered scenarios where data could be useful but is not available due to privacy concern or regulatory reasons? I am trying to figure out where fully homomorphic encryption could be helpful. Thanks a lot for the help.
I spent too much time thinking about this today.

The slight of hand is that they confuse % change of portfolio or market and the % profit on the bet.

The game is positive EV and the only reason that figure 1 doesn't make money is they wager less every time they will win and more every time they will lose.

Having a reserve/bankroll to recapitalize is key to winning any +EV game.

This is what is demonstrated in their figures 3 and 4. If the bet was truly neutral, +/- 50% each time, there would be no gain.

It is obvious if you look at figure 3. Each $100 bet will make $50 or lose $33.

There is no strategy to make money on a neutral 50/50 bet, balance all you want.

The same is true for a stock with a 50/50 chance of going up or down equal amounts.

Otoh, if you knew it was oscillating around a mean, and not doing a random walk, you could always sell high and buy low

I mean if raising the prices made them more money they would have done it earlier. Usually prices in recessions are raised in response to supply issues, resulting in less quantity supplied to such an extent that there is less profit overall.

That's at least what a microeconomist would say. But it's clear that in this recession there's less startups, and thus less Slack customers, and so Slack's operating costs need to be distributed among fewer companies, resulting in higher per-unit costs.

My gut feeling is that "a higher salary will make me care more" is one of things that is such common sense that the silent majority doesn't even feel like it needs to be pointed out. I find it difficult to be convinced of the contrary every time someone thinks they have a survey that says otherwise.
The social nature of driving becomes clear when you see people in different countries/societies drive. The cues they give, their expectations, and the way people react is quite distinct - even when the formal road-rules are very similar across different countries.

When you're out next, consider how you can tell that someone ahead of you is thinking of changing lanes, or seems to be distracted or in a hurry. There's no indicator signal for these things, but they become second nature to experienced drivers.

I wonder how well antonymous vehicles will fit into traffic. We can make allowances for small numbers (like we do for learning-drivers) and for simple situations (highway driving) but should they become very common ...

I have few friends who bit the "the office job is death" thing hook, line, and sinker. Only... it didn't work out for them. They are in shittier careers barely making it work while I took the middle path and and quite comfortable. And my conclusion is: the 9-5 can be hard, but honestly I don't really mind it.

At this point I'm good enough at the career and landed a role I'm a good fit for, it's really more of a 12-4 job for me. Not counting meetings. I'm not... hustling. I'm not being ground down. I'm just gliding.

I have a good 401k. i make great money. I can work from home. I can take a break and read, and go for walks, and go running, and play guitar, and pet my cat, and cook lunch at home and get my dishes done.

I don't really want to travel Asia. Maybe for a week or so. As someone who HAS traveled extensively: Meh! It is tiring! I like my house with my mad-scientist-lab looking office and all of my experiments and guitar pedals and things.

Maybe it is perspective coming from a working class family. My father embalmed bodies and dug graves for a living. Very mediocre money, long hours, and not everyone's favorite job. What I do is easy compared to that.

Some companies offer unlimited PTO. The catch is the culture often discourages people from taking more than a few weeks off. It's been shown if the company just offers N weeks people take more time off than if it were unlimited, which seems ironic.

No, CNN, WebMD, etc. are fixated on the layperson because the general public is their target audience. And it is the general language of that audience that determines the proper usage of phrases like “100% effective”. You can’t unring that bell, or say after the fact that it was actually a bird song. It was journalistic malpractice.

If there actually was a confusion between the medical and common usage of the term (that I strongly doubt), the medical professionals that use “efficacy” in a different sense have the duty to correct the popular media when they misuse the language. The miscommunication lies either with the mass media itself, or jointly with the medical community. Not the audience. (And I doubt the medical community had anything to do with this. I don’t remember reading in BMJ, Lancet, NEJM, etc. anyone claiming “100% efficacy” of, well, anything ever.)

However, a more relevant linguistic issue arose within the medical community itself when using the word “case” in COVID reporting. Epidemiologists are fine with a “case” that shows no symptoms, whereas a clinician on the front lines expects to see a symptom or two before writing up a “case study”. An asymptomatic person is not a “case” to ER physicians, because there isn’t a medical symptom for which a person (at this point not a patient) has asked, or blatantly needs, diagnosis and treatment. Trolling for potential diseases a person might have (calling everyone a “case” for something) is frowned upon by medical ethics boards and insurance companies. (Pharmaceutical firms, on the other hand, just love that sort of behavior…hypochondria is quite profitable.)

I have lived on a street with a street car for the past 3 years and I disagree with your perspective. I live in a different city, so variables are probably very different in a lot of ways. I find large trucks and motorcycles as the largest disturbances in my daily life (I work from home mostly). The train absolutely makes noise and shakes the house, but it's predictable. I no longer set alarms and I can use it to run my errands. And it is way better for the air around me than cars.

They almost certainly do, by the measures they use for sticking.

The problem is that things that don't stick by their metrics are going to feel like they stuck to the people for whom it did work, so spray and pray strategy ends up with lots of individually-small, but large in aggregate, disappointed fandoms.
I find amusement in how the three big "knowledge for all" organizations are perfectly distributed along the D&D alignment 'law' axis (taken literally):

- Wikimedia (“a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge”): lawful – religious copyright law adherence, thorough fair use rationales; proactively removes Het Achterhuis from Wikisource over DMCA "actual knowledge" of it being copyrighted in the US through an obscure series of laws[1]

- Internet Archive (“Universal Access to All Knowledge”): neutral – gets archival exemption for bypassing copy protection added to the DMCA;[2][3] making archived items publicly available lies in a grey area

- Sci-Hub (“free and unrestricted access to all scientific knowledge”): chaotic – just pirate all the paywalled articles

LISP looks similar to what can be achieved with zero tier or tailscale today: with an overlay network you effectively separate the identity from the location and you can move your physical machine around while maintaining all the connections with the "internal" addresses intact.

According to a 2006 study of Federal district courts,

> Summary judgment motions are filed in fewer cases than the bench and bar might expect. They are filed in approximately 13.7% of cases, with this proportion varying between 9.7% and 22% depending on the district. Thus, summary judgment motions are not filed in every case in the federal courts, as it sometimes seems to judges and lawyers

PTO is usually at the discretion of the managers; they're more inclined to decline requests for time off when enough people are already taking off (to avoid the situation of someone on the skeleton crew getting sick and not enough people are available to handle an emergency).

It really depends on your customer's needs; slack going down for a day or two over the holidays is unfortunate but not the end of the world. Salesforce going down could, I imagine, easily cause massive financial losses.

I'd like to think it should be easy enough to put people on emergency call rather than forcing them to put 8 hours of butts in seats for no reason, but apparently that's not how Salesforce wants to roll.
