I had a sort of similar negative experience with Airbnb

Host ended up leaving me a bad review. I replied to the review with with a message that had a URL which was stripped. I created a page with the full message history between me and the host (personal details blurred out) and wanted anyone reading the review to come to their own conclusion.

Tried contacting support, tried contacting the "higher ups". Got no where. First and last time I used Airbnb. Cancelled my account shortly after.

I've never eaten bread as delicious as the "boring" baguettes available from virtually every bakery in France. Maybe it's the yeast they use or something? So I'm genuinely curious as to where you're coming from with that.

Edit: Oh. Pat yourself on the back for a pun well played. Whooshed straight over my head! Take my angry upvote ;)

This is a great article but the best part is an off hand link to a book review of A Square Meal: A Culinary History of the Great Depression [1] which includes choice quotes like

> The writer George Jean Nathan claimed that before the 1920s, there existed only eight basic sandwich types: Swiss cheese, ham, sardine, liverwurst, egg, corned beef, roast beef, and tongue (yes). But by 1926, he “claimed that he had counted 946 different sandwich varieties stuffed with fillings such as watermelon and pimento, peanut butter, fried oyster, Bermuda onion and parsley, fruit salad, aspic of foie gras, spaghetti, red snapper roe, salmi of duck, bacon and fried egg, lettuce and tomato, spiced beef, chow-chow, pickled herring, asparagus tips, deep sea scallops, and so on ad infinitum.”

I ordered it off Amazon right away only to immediately realize, to my horror, that the hardcover version I had chosen would not arrive until Saturday, a full fortnite after my aspic of foie gras, salmi of duck, and the $5 esp32-wroom dev kits that were part of the same order.

What is this, the 1930s? Civilization is seriously going down the drain.

Hi, this is super cool, congrats! I went through your documentation and it looks like your contributors have to manually edit files. My friend and I are currently working on an open source git-based translation editor and dev tools to ease contributing and managing translations.

I got to the anti section and literally did a spit take with the water I was drinking. This is gold.
That's just mostly debt, a hundred years ago it would have been a promise to pay you ~1/20 oz of gold. At the moment I think a $100 bill costs about 20 cents to produce, so it's 99.8% debt on the Fed's balance sheet.
Surely they'd just bill you in arrears, in the same way your carrier does if you make a long-distance call.

arguably the problem is the excessive use of the resource but that's kinda just the reality of it.
I'm not saying it's impossible to deal with it but it's no where near the point where I never have to think about it which is what I would consider truly "enough"
Heavy use of C++ and FPGAs really.

I know of one exchange that had a generic matching engine that used C++ meta programming to suit different markets.

No, fully debt, by your own words.

> a hundred years ago it would have been a promise to pay you ~1/20 oz of gold.

so 100 years ago, it represented a debt of 1/20 oz of gold.
That's a good question. Why do fusion people not pay attention to this issue?

The answer is some do. And those people tend to get frustrated and quit the field (or, if they are lucky, notice the problem early and never go into fusion at all.) Lidsky is a famous example; Pfirsch and Schmitter in Europe are others. Others bottle up their objections and only let them out as they retire.

The more common coping mechanism is just to assume someone else is going to solve it and not pay too much attention while working on other issues. It helps to focus on physics issues -- which are very interesting, after all -- and tell yourself that this problem is "just engineering" and can't be too hard to solve, in comparison, and that anyway telling yourself it's bad to think about it before the physics is nailed down (which is wrong, but lets you stop worrying that you've wasted your career.)

As for ITER specifically: ITER is costing > $20B for something that could produce maybe 400 MW gross fusion power (and isn't engineered to produce tritium, electrical power, or to survive more that a few weeks at full power). Industrial levels of denial are needed to tell oneself something like that is on a trajectory to relevance.

Perhaps an even better question is: why are people funding DT fusion? For governments, I think it's because in many cases the purpose of government research funding isn't to solve problems, it's to be seen working toward solutions in the distant future (and that perception can be achieved even if there is no actual chance of success, if the public is sufficiently unaware, which it is.) For venture capital I'm not clear what the explanation is. Spinoff technologies like high Tc superconducting magnets, maybe?
I have tried it (and done this more than once) -- it does work, but it's not quite that easy. You have to fashion the tack into various shapes to get into the crevices, and it has taken the better part of an hour to be satisfied with the result each time. Still worth it.
I mean, my Casio F-91W has 5 years of battery life. Also it can't do shit.

So my guess is their thinking is:

- Garmin has 10 times the battery life

- We have a 10 times better user experience

- Most "outdoorsy people" (or prosumers or, let's face it, lazy people who want to look cool) will prefer user experience over battery life

- So we prioritize on that
Looks like they also have a 5G device now: https://store.planetcom.co.uk/collections/devices

(Although they offer 24 internationalized keyboard options, I don't know how thoroughly the "Astro Slide" brand was researched for global markets: in the US, it's similar to a major brand of adult intimate products.)
Depends how deeply Taleb understands his own theories.

You build antifragile systems by creating networks where the failure of any one component is not just expected, but actively welcomed and designed for. Distributed systems engineers understand this intuitively; any highly reliable system is constantly failing internally, but the system is set up with multiple independent paths to success, such that failure just routes traffic to the non-failing components.

Silicon Valley as a whole is also set up according to this principle. Startups are supposed to fail; big companies are supposed to fail; individual municipalities are supposed to fail. The genius of Silicon Valley is in rapid experimentation and routing all the raw materials for these entities into new configurations that are succeeding. When a giant like Sun Microsystems or Western Digital goes under, the engineers all quit and work for Google. When Google goes under, they'll work for whatever the hot company of 2030 is. Same goes for capital (the early investors in Google have long since cashed out and are actively looking for the next big thing, while the bagholders will be retail investors in the rest of the country who don't know any better) and geography (the center of Silicon Valley has historically moved around between roughly Scotts Valley to San Francisco on a 5-10 year timescale).

And California laws & culture are setup to encourage this, with the ban on non-compete agreements, lax enforcement of trade secret laws, people always searching for the next big thing, customers willing to try the next big thing, lawyers/accountants/engineers willing to work for stock, etc.
I've almost only traveled for leisure (or digital nomadism) and as such I like to sleep in, and hotel breakfasts end at like 9:30 AM, then they want to get into your room to do cleaning etc. I'd prefer to roll out of bed at 11 AM and just have some toast in my room in my pajamas.

Hotels are just too "uptight" for me.
> your previous love was just a make-believe love, a childish imitation that you mistook for the real thing––an honest mistake, because you had never felt the real thing before?

I'll share a personal story: I was burned by a "stuck in your head" "love". It was unrequited and I suffered a lot.

I have since then read about infatuation, and am averse towards it.

I'd much rather have a stable partner I can have fun with but also communicate, rather than the intense stomach-churning variant.

The most important criterion I've found is that both partners in a relationship see the other as greater or equal to themselves.

Satisfy that, and you get a long-lasting relationship, and you can stop chasing for the impossible ideal.
Ask any dishwasher if they'd rather have tips or minimum wage (which is what I got as a dishwasher) and I assure you they'd pick tips. There's a lot of workers in the restaurant who aren't as fortunate as your server.

Not sure what the real point of this is but I wish people remembered that in the restaurant hierarchy servers are nowhere near the bottom.
Julia devs seem to work on improving precompilation times every version. That said if a project or workflow revolves around some packages, a way to skip this step is to create a sysimage, essentially a saved Julia session, that includes those packages. PackageCompiler significantly simplifies the process.

It's mostly a familly thing, I guess. I'm younger than you are but always ate frogs regularly.
Frog legs are eaten in many parts of Europe (except Germany apparently)
So much that some indigenous frog species have become endangered, and frog legs are more often imported from South-East Asia these days.

BTW. I had also expected the article to be about actual frogs: about how endangered some species are, or how the flesh may contain pollutants or diseases.
I know this, but whose responsibility it is to clean up this legacy construct that comes from prohibition time, has no good reason to exist today, and causes misery on both sides?

No.

Wow. Why would anyone subject to that?

I think we're very near the point where a system can change letters and numbers on a moving ID in a video, if we're not there already. (And if one is patient enough, and the video is short enough, it's not impossible to do it by hand.)
> Mostly negatively, as I feel education is currently completely unequipped to deal with the impacts of both.

Education is still barely equipped to deal with the impact of easy, always-on, access to internet.

I believe the concept of "Education" will need to change and AI can help. There's a big power in being able to curate/deliver content, problems, and evaluation, personalized to each student to propel themselves instead of having to slow down due to class variance or slow teaching.

Teachers will also change from what mostly seen as regurgitating information to explorer-guides to the wide knowledge of information and encouragement for students to experiment. I don't think teachers can be replaced with AI, but can be supercharged and helped by AI.
Honestly it seems pretty clear they want all reviews to be on their platform (not just you but also the OP). There's a lot of things to dislike about Airbnb but wanting reviews to be inside their platform is pretty reasonable (prevents doxxing, fraud, harassment etc).
I'm already subbed to it, but thanks on behalf of the others !
On my decade old laptop `using Plots` (precompilation) takes a couple of minutes. Not half an hour but it may feel like that if someone is used to Python (or R) where imports are instantaneous. Though I think GP meant takes that much due to OOMs which may result in frozen or slow system.
> Why the fuck would full employment be a goal of a central bank. Talk about paperclip optimization.

Agree it does not seem (at first glance) to be a reasonable policy goal for a bank, and further this mandate does not hold for all central banks. <edit> For example, the ECB does not have this mandate </edit>

However, some economists believe there is a relationship between % of population "employed" and inflation.

I don't disagree that support for open codecs should be more of a priority for Apple/Safari/WebKit. But you're missing the bigger picture. The web should be resilient to clients which don't support all of the latest features. It shouldn't be necessary to be using a bleeding edge version of Google Chrome (or its clones) in order to have a first class web browsing experience.

While one might complain about the inconvenience of supporting the few gaps in Safari on iOS, this complaint is actually of having to support people who don't (or can't) run the latest software because they (for example) haven't chosen to pay money to upgrade their computing device to something which supports Windows 10 or a recent release of MacOS.

The fact that Safari on iOS isn't bleeding edge is actually an under-appreciated gift to people who choose to/are forced to run older software. It's one of the last vectors forcing lazy web developers (i.e. most web developers) to continue taking browser diversity seriously.
The latest release (v0.12) of the Seaborn plotting library in python now also has a similar API.

This bit isn't correct.

"The bank must settle the transaction with the vendor’s bank using reserves held at the central bank. If the borrower never repays the loan, then the bank’s reserves will not be replenished, reducing its ability to lend further."

If a borrower never repays a loan, then the bank's capital is reduced (on the other side of the balance sheet from reserves) and the bank has to obtain more capital (by persuading those holding created deposits to swap them for bank bonds or shares) to maintain their risk capital ratios.

Reserves have absolutely nothing to do with settling transactions. They are an optimisation of the actual process - some other entity in the banking system must take the place of the depositor in the source bank if a cross bank payment is to be made.

International transactions via correspondent banking don't use reserves. They use direct bank to bank mirror transactions.

It would be far better if we forgot about reserves altogether [0]. They weren't even a thing in the UK until 2005.

The whole reason SV exploded was that people were doing things instead of waiting for the theory to show it can work.

That's how software has innovated for 30 years: by practice.

Huh, 27 years apart and it's almost verbatim. Is it taken from some existing text or was it some personal mantra (for lack of a better word) he created?
I strongly disagree with the author.

What brings me pleasure is playing strategic computer games. I was addicted to playing dota. I was playing 12-16 hours a day, which left no place for socializing, career, family, even basic self-maintenance suffered. Anything meaningful, art, self-improvement was cut.

The meaning of life is not the blind pursuit of pleasure. We are humans precisely because we follow higher purposes.

I find that while he makes good points, he also misrepresents the views and histories of the people he attacks. It is the standard "The common knowledge is wrong, trust me" tactic for establishing yourself as an expert on a topic.

For example, he got famous for picking on Black-Scholes. Claiming among other things that he was smarter because he was a trader before he became an academic. Conveniently not mentioning that Black and Scholes also spent time trading the markets both before and after their famous 1973 publication.
He really is full of himself, isn't he?

What do you mean by "all inputs"? Did you write your whole server from scratch? Did you verify the length of every single int that comes in your query? Fragment? Json? Header? Header part that may be parsed internally by python's standard libs? Chunk lengths? IP conversions? Every external library call? Variables that may turn numeric in future revisions? If that's true, how sure are you you haven't missed a single spot?

I have bad news for you. If everything you said is true, you've been working on some ideal code in a prefect team with no dependencies... But more likely you're going to have a bad collision with reality one day.

When Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett wrote Good Omens thirty years ago they already hit upon this idea when Crowley, a demon and one of the main characters, tries to explain to his fellow demons that nowadays it's all about optimizing micro-evils for the biggest net amount of evil. Sure, things like corrupting a church leader sounds more impressive, but if you cause the phone network to be down for an entire morning in London that ruins so many more people's day ever so slightly, leading to more sinful thoughts in total and pushing them to take it out on others, who then take that out on others, and so on.
