We had this conversation at work this morning because my current project is porting a feature from one system to another very similar system (ultimately forked from the same code.) The basic "implementation" is a cut-and-paste job but almost all the work is tracking down whatever problem turn up.

Even though the end result is a very showy feature visible to end users the actual work is a search-and-destroy mission for bugs.
Gold would be great but in the US, it's practically uninvestible unless you have a lot of money in a IRA (a tough feat given the yearly contribution limit). Gold is taxed as a collectible. your "gain" is taxed at 28%. But, gain isn't gain anymore. all that so called gain is just your principle when the dollar value goes from 50K to 1 million but your purchasing power is the same as before. so you'll loose 28% of your principle in the long run, if you hold it outside of an IRA.

Real estate also sounds promising. I'd love to own real estate over bitcoin. but, have you actually done it? i mean buy property as an investment. i have a real estate buddy that just told us an hour long horror story of all the stuff that can go wrong with buying and holding real estate, the renting issues truely are the stuff of horror stories are made of.

So, all that's left is equities and bitcoin. and I don't want everything to be in equities.
The solution: hire designers who can code. It will save you a lot of time and money. They can design and code with Webflow at the same time. The front-end of this project should’ve taken 80-100 hours at most — including custom illustrations & graphics.
P.S. I do that sort of thing if anyone’s interested.
Yeah, I was there in Berlin when all that ruckus started, and had kept bubbling up again and again every few years. Templehof is held in too much regard by Berliners to be auctioned off by lot, but that doesn't stop real estate developers from trying. I hope they never succeed.

But it's not a wild area, and it's probably as well looked after as most folks front lawns. What I can't see is places like Templehof being just closed off from any kind of access to allow re-wilding. Sort of like Pripyat after Chernobyl blew. It'd be cool, but I just can't see people keeping out and letting nature take over.
If you aren't familiar with vaccine research then citing a paper whilst contradicting its conclusion may look odd or malicious, but it's not. Vaccine papers are quite "special". The problem is that scientific journals simply will not publish any paper on vaccines that doesn't praise them, regardless of merit or data. This pattern is extremely consistent.

So when someone is making an argument that isn't 100% pro-vaccine, and they cite a paper, what they mean is ignore the commentary, look at the data. They may not bother spelling this out explicitly because you get used to it so fast and then can easily forget that many people won't actually read the paper, they'll just look at the abstract and assume it's honest.

In this case their argument for boosters is simply that effectiveness keeps dropping, so everyone should take boosters. There isn't anything deeper, and obviously such an argument is facile in the extreme.
This kind of hyperbole is standard marketing boilerplate for 'dIsRuPTiVe' startups. Behind the veil, it's not much different from other companies doing anything to make user numbers look good to a potential acquirer.
Could you elaborate a little?

I mean education is also a (potentially) exponential process, in the sense that e.g. one literate person can teach many others to read, who can then teach even more people.

Certainly some people will need resources as well as training to get started in their area, but we can afford to do that.
But it actually is though, "fiat" is just another one of those words that crypto promoters have redefined to mean something that it doesn't. The original definition was a currency that isn't backed by a commodity, its value is derived from some group (typically a government) declaring a fiat that it has a certain value they give it. That's why it's called "fiat currency". If bitcoin were a currency (it actually isn't) it would definitely be a fiat currency, because it also has no value from any commodity or consuming demand. The value is derived completely from whatever someone else is willing to pay for it. The idea that bitcoin represents some kind of "digital gold" is simply false.

> for the most part, when somebody hires somebody else to build a house, they get a house and it costs mostly what they were quoted up front and takes mostly as long as they were told it was going to take.

! Every single time I've hired a general-- I've had to fight scope creep; fight to get them to actually complete work; fight to get the actual quoted materials; fight to fix problematic subcontractor work; fight to avoid price increases.

You can get close to original scope and original pricing, but for me it's always involved the implied threat of litigation. Note this is the only sector of business life where I've had to be this confrontational.

(Work with individual trades has been not bad at all, but this has tended to be tightly scoped projects with relatively simple dependencies).

> software project was accurately quoted in advance are relatively trivial projects.

Even simple software projects tend to have much deeper interdependencies between work items, and bigger nonlinear combination of work impacts, than other domains. If someone changes something small on the fly in a normal construction project, and a pipe is in a slightly different place-- it's usually no big deal. It may involve a little bit of rework.
The Dell XPS Developer Edition ones have always worked well for me with Linux, I never used the stock Ubuntu, and the hardware works really well and they actually do deliver firmware updates through fwupd for many years - I won’t defend the landfill future of the hardware and lack of user upgrade/ replacement, but I’ve had great success with Elementary OS and Arch on them.

Also I have had to use a Mac more recently for work, and I miss my XPS running well with Docker, and I find it hilarious that with MacBooks you need the new M processor models to be able to run Docker workloads without the fans blasting!

I’d love to try a Framework too though.
trading on information asymmetry is usually referred to as fraud. insider trading is just a subcategory that is relatively easy to prosecute and prevent
> The major central banks of the world, The Federal Reserve, The European Central Bank, and the Bank of Japan all face the seemingly impossible task of trying to control inflation while simultaneously dealing with supply shortages and the downstream effects of sanctions against Russia.

Some of them might, because they have different mandates, but while all of them are going to be concerned with inflation, much of the rest of that is the responsibility of the entities responsible for fiscal, not monetary, policy; the whole purpose of having central banks is separating monetary policy from general government policy (most of which is still about the economy.)
It would be tricky in more densely populated areas, thanks to the ruling in Kelo vs. City of New London. "The local government thinks they'll get more economic activity from someone else" is a valid reason to exercise eminent domain powers for some reason. It works in more rural places because, frankly, it's generally not worth the trouble of litigation there.
By this same logic, fraud shouldn't be a crime. People will always find a way to profit by misleading people, and the most careful ones will reap the rewards and get away with it.

"The belief that destruction is good for the economy"

That's not at all what GP is saying. Government investment into industries have different return on investment. This is why governments heavily invest into healthcare. But, if we're talking investing in a military vs. university researchers, I think you have to be fairly elitist to say that adding 100,000 academics is better for society than providing a good life for 1M soldiers. At its core, military spending is the greatest experiment of UBI ever done. Now, downvotes from the left and right.

> Dirks v. SEC, 463 U.S. 646 (1983) was a pivotal U.S. Supreme Court decision regarding this type of insider trading. In Dirks, the Court held that a prosecutor could charge tip recipients with insider trading liability if the recipient had reason to believe that the information’s disclosure violated another’s fiduciary duty and if the recipient personally gained from acting upon the information. Dirks also created the constructive insider rule, which treats individuals working with a corporation on a professional basis as insiders if they come into contact with non-public information.

The 6502 uses "horizontal microcode", which, as you said, are the individual control lines. x86 uses "vertical microcode" which is a sort-of internal RISC architecture.
How to reach out?
This may sound like a dumb question, but as a foreigner, I have no idea what wire fraud actually means, but I hear it pretty often.

The explanation I found “Mail fraud and wire fraud are terms used to describe the use of a physical or electronic mail system to defraud another” doesn’t really help me further, other than it just being “fraud”.

What would be the difference between insider trading and fraud, in this specific case? Would it mean that someone basically enriched themselves with Coinbase without it being through trades (just to name an example, skimming rounding inaccuracies in your favor) ?

> Craigslist still thrives despite having no features and looking prehistoric, because it's so fast. Google.com homepage looks almost empty.

Craigslist and Google's site speed enhances their success, it isn't the cause of their success. Their content is what the user wants. Giving it to them fast is a huge bonus.

I don't want to see shit fast. I want to see good stuff fast. If I have to, I'll wait to see really good stuff.

Are tor hidden services fast enough yet to handle running an independent alternative to GD and would people be able to easily reach it? Do any browsers make it easy for the average worker to reach onion sites? Or perhaps a better question is, could there be a more distributed and decentralized alternative that is less prone to tampering by corporations, money and individual countries having overreach that the average person could still access? I'm thinking something like usenet but implemented in a way that doesn't get spammed to oblivion.
There's not a lot of practical benefit to looking at the stars beyond trying to understand the universe we live in.

However, many _many_ technologies have come out of the space race and other space related endeavors--you might be surprised.

And these are just concrete technologies. A lot of research done to reach the endpoint was, of course, used in many other areas of research. Even just manufacturing breakthroughs--taking something possible "in theory," and actually producing an instrument to do the thing involves a lot of research that bears fruit for basically anyone paying attention.
Something need to be done to give more power to the majority... But it isn't as simple as having a web app for having everyone vote on every topic even if you assume that the identity problem is solved.

It sounds like we're talking past each other. It appears to me (and I may be wrong here) that for you, writing code is an activity that you partake in for pleasure, or otherwise aesthetic or artistic reasons. For me, while there are elements of writing code that are pleasurable, I predominantly engage in it in a professional setting, to get business goals accomplished.

In the former case, I think that having a "distaste for it[Python]'s philosophy" where one's life is "richer without aspirations to be Pythonic" is pretty reasonable.

In the latter case, there isn't as much room for that. Instead, the more practical considerations I mentioned predominate: the question is how to get the most mileage out of language in a large organization to accomplish large, complex business goals with technology in a durable way.

It's not to say that one or the other is more important (I think there is plenty of space in this world for both), but I would say that the vast majority of ecosystem space around programming languages is and very likely always will be taken up by the latter use case. If you're curious about why things are the way they are (which you may not be, or which you may simply not care about, or which may simply not apply to you), then I think it's worth considering.
The point is that they can be caught and then prosecuted. It won't stop it but it makes it harder. People will always break the law. The point is to make that harder and have a punishment for doing so. We need better laws to prevent lawmakers from profiting as well.
I never really liked Thinkpads to begin with. The texture on their plastics makes my skin crawl. When I was working IT at the end of the '00s, I found Latitudes were a lot easier to repair and more durable.

> Your Warren Buffet example would absolutely be illegal.

My understanding is that it very much depends upon how the information was obtained. If I, as a third party, overhear Warren talking in a restaurant, that’s very different from hearing it during a Berkshire board meeting.

I doubt that Coinbase would want to arrest this person at their offices. I'm sure that the plan was to question the suspect with the FBI present. If the FBI asks a question, and you lie, it's a felony. If your employer asks you a question and you lie, it's legal.

Either way, this was a ruse to get WAHI to start talking. Likely they would execute a search warrant at his residence after he left to appear in-person.

As an FYI, people under investigation by federal authorities are added to a database that alerts agents to the purchase of any flight tickets (domestic or international). Unfortunately for the suspect this means he will undoubtedly be detained until his trial in several years.

You can have this, if you practice waterfall. Just wait a few months for a product manager and designer to determine every last detail.

I've experienced this, and it's not my ideal working condition.
Short answer: yes.

Long answer: you need to put in a bit more work than "just" buying it up.

In the UK, Ireland, and other countries with out of control deer/grazer populations and no large natural predators, this means enclosing the land with deer fencing (allows smaller animals to pass, but not large grazers) and probably doing some initial remedial work (scattering seeds of native species, planting a few native trees, etc) to kind of "get things going".

Usually after 5-6 years you can just let nature take over and go with traditional "ignore it" rewilding, once some kind of life is established. After maybe 10 years you can consider removing the fence.
If Joe Bloggs ran the autocue screen and got an advance copy of the speech, would it be illegal?

What if he overheard Buffet practicing his speech and bought it - would that be illegal?

If he were to tweet "I Joe Bloggs heard Buffett saying he is about to say something good about Microsoft" and then buy a few seconds later, would that be public information?

When does public information change from being private information to being public information nobody has noticed?

Yeah, that's one way to put pressure on Germany in order to obtain a political solution.

It talks volumes about the internal controls at CB that it took a tweet to expose this.

Given the speed with which they grew last two years I expect their financial and security processes to be next to nothing.

Hmmm, I know (C)PTSD can have issues that seem similar to ADHD, but then again, all these disorders are just a collection of symptoms slapped together. Is cyan a hue of blue or a hue of green -- does it even matter?

The only issue I have with emotional trauma-induced ADHD, is that it's very easy to be a chicken vs. egg issue. I have ADHD, and I experienced what I would consider emotional trauma to some degree (often because of ADHD), but which came first? It seems very cyclical to me.
Thank you so much for this!!

Deno 1.24 Release Notes
I see where you are going and may I suggest this thought experiment: let's say there is a team of 4 developers. AI automates 50% of their work, but there is still a lot of fine-tuning and certainly a lot of time in meetings with co-workers. But, this team has more free time so their company gives them more work. Great, so they are still working at capacity now. However, let's suppose AI gets to 80% automation, and there is no more additional work their company can offer them. That's when one or two, or more of them are at risk of losing their jobs.

The solution to the issues you identify, which are real, is to improve the equitabiliy of the US justice system and strengthen laws against insider trading.

> The least careful ones will just keep getting caught while the most careful reap the rewards and get away with it.

The clearance rate for homicide in the USA hovers somewhere between 50% and 70% most years, and the clearance rate for rape in the US is much lower at 32% in 2018.

> What insider trading really means is a middle class person profiting in a way the ruling class don't like. Apparently it's legal for Congress to insider trade. It's legal for CEOs to insider trade.

Wealth is probably also helpful if you want to get away with rape or murder.

Also, insider trading is bad.
Gee, if people will get away with crimes anyway, why bother making anything illegal?
Yeah, they can have decent prices especially if you're willing to move your eating choices around "what's on sale this week". Same with most expensive stores. I definitely do it with whole foods, sprouts, and central market. I love curb-side pickup :)
The accused was using their access within Coinbase to front run trades and announcements. That's not "middle class" trading under any reasonable definition and I can't imagine why you think it should be legal.

How would any market function if the market makers are allowed to cheat with impunity.
No, insider trading is clearly not 'a middle class person profiting in a way the ruling class don't like' - it's using information you have that most of the market doesn't in order to take money from them. The answer to wealthy people being able to get away with insider trading easier is not to throw the baby out with the bathwater and say that all insider trading is fine, it's to actually enforce insider trading laws. It's not some impossible task to do a better job enforcing those rules, it's just not popular with the people who (shocking) make money by exploiting this kind of information asymmetry. If we decided to make it a policy priority tomorrow, the problem would be much, much smaller.
