The correlation is very easy to explain.

It's the same reason the bubble in tech stocks crashed in the same general time frame that all of the crypto crashed, and the housing market began to freeze up.

It's risk off, as the Fed pushes up rates and investors and speculators grow increasingly fearful of more to come. The cost of debt and leverage also went up considerably.

Or as Warren Buffett likes to put it, you can think of interest rates as gravity as it pertains to asset prices and speculation.
Key text from the article:

Blood tests on the patients showed that their B cells recovered about four months after the treatment, but they no longer produced aberrant antibodies and the patients remained disease-free. Writing in the journal, the authors speculate that the therapy led to a “rebooting of the immune system”.

This is amazing if true.
Correct me if I have missed something but this elaborate fingerprinting exercise called "bot protection" cannot distinguish conclusively whether a person is giving commands to a computer in real-time or from if the computer is reading from a script of commands. It only serves to distinguish what OS, client, IP address, etc. It is collecting tracking data.

Of course, those trying to profit from online advertising services seek to collect the same (fingerprinting) data. Do Cloudflare terms of service/privacy policy allow Cloudflare to do anything they want with this data, or are there limits.
a lot of the seamlessness comes from (a) airpods being designed to work with iOS and, for the last few years, the H1/H2 chips. BT by itself is really troublesome and (b) apple being able to spend a lot of time and money on design. for most, headphones are extremely low margin; before the airpods, heaphones over $200 were also really low volume.

I wouldn't call it "corruption" primarily, but BART is very much run to profit the union and its members.

The union in turn gets it power by being able to paralyze the entire Bay Area with a strike. Last actual strike was in 2013:
https://www.cnbc.com/2013/10/18/bart-strike-throws-sf-commut...

Without this blackmail power over the region, BART'a costs would be considerably lower. Assuming 1/3 lower, we'd get 50% more BART for our money, and I think that would be much better than keeping a few thousand union members in nice lifestyles.

Yep great life lesson. Oh well I guess we need to make our own definition of success
Most of your comment is pretty bad misinformation. X11 was not designed to use Xrender. That was an optional extension that came later. And on many drivers, the drawing of XRender is still not actually GPU accelerated either. Remember that XRender was designed long before GPU drivers were in the state they are now, back in the era when people still thought 2D acceleration was going to be a thing. And, XRender is extremely limited to a small handful of primitives that were mainly used to implement the postscript drawing model used by cairo.

It is also not trivial to reduce the amount of roundtrips in an X11 program. If the program uses Xlib then it probably needs to have significant portions of it rewritten to use xcb, which is a lot more complicated than it seems because Xlib handles a lot of caching and logic that xcb simply does not. In some situations X11 roundtrips are simply unavoidable. Complaining about GTK or Qt will not change this. Even if it were possible to fix those, there are less and less contributors to those projects who are willing to spend time to maintain X11 support.
Another great example is the end of the third episode, start of the fourth. Arondir and the other elves make an escape attempt. They fail, Arondir is about to be killed, but for some reason he wasn't. They took him to their leader instead, who just lets him go with a "message".

- Why did the orc leader wait until the escape attempt to send someone with a message to the humans?

- Why would he believe an elf would relay his message, that humans could surrender and join him? Aren't the elves trying to prevent humans from being corrupted?

- Why did he give him back his weapons?

- Why are other orcs attacking him? Did Adar not even care if Arondir made back to the humans alive?

It makes more sense if you consider that the plot was written that Arondir would get captured, meet the bad guy, save the kid, and go back to the woman he's in love with to face the bad guy with the humans. Once that was decided they just threw together some scenes to fill in the blanks. No consideration was given as to whether the characters decisions made sense in the moment, only that they move the plot to where it was supposed to go.
Die space on a processor is definitely not cheap. Also memory takes energy to keep refreshed both die space and power are at a premium on mobile devices.

Shouid Apple also have kept PPC support in Macs forever? 68K support? OS 9 support? Why stop there, why not ship with Apple //e 65C02 support? I’m sure I lost some valuable AppleSoft basic programs over the years.

The trick with helmets is when the risk takers are wearing them. Then wearing a helmet can become a signal you ride hard.

I think that’s a good part of why helmets took over skiing in Colorado but not California. In Colorado, the extreme skiers wore them, and the rest followed.
Because net and annual are different measurements. It's entirely possible to have an added net production of half a million dollars from a college degree and be swimming in immediately due debt from that degree.
I’m personally not a fan of 230. I think if you exercise editorial control over the content of your site (and most web sites do) then you should be considered the publisher and endorser of that content. Can’t stomach that responsibility? Then don’t publish user-generated content.

What you permit, you promote.
I'm not an economics or historian but I think hyperinflation can only really happen paper currency which is relatively modern of an invention. But that doesn't mean we invented a new problem out of hubris. Hyperinflation is only a problem in that it can cause necessary goods to become unaffordable. Goods being unaffordable (or straight up unavailable) almost certainly happened more frequently prior to paper currency.

Everyone is all gangster about privacy and their hatred for ads until they realize they need to pay for the services they use.

I think everything is a “repeat” of something else, but the things that get big usually have something that really differentiates them and blows the competition out of the water.

I use figma and fig jam every day. Prior to figma I used sketch and some other apps. They all were missing two key features: ease of use and collaboration.

Not needing a mac, and being able to design in the browser with your whole team was a game changer. Throw plug ins into the mix, and a solid community.
I think TurboVNC had some extensions in that direction. But it’s been a while since I looked at it.
I suspect this is going to happen regardless of the outcome of the war and the next few winters in Europe are going to be a bitch for many lower income families.
>BART discovered cylindrical wheels in 2018.

... uhh, your own link says otherwise, emphasis mine...

>To answer the question, the original BART wheel profile, you can consider it like a cylindrical section of pipe. While the new profile is tapered, like a curved barrel, if you could imagine that the cylinder shape pipe rolling down a slight incline it really just wants to go straight. It doesn’t want to turn to the left, it doesn’t want to turn to the right, it just wants to go straight. That’s what our original BART wheel is like. Whenever it would come to a turn the wheel flange is what makes that wheel turn and go around the curve and that results in a lot of extra wear. The new wheel shape that we call the BT-3 Wheel Profile tends to want to self-center between the rails and it even steers in the turns so the result is much less wear and noticeably less noise.
I don’t have epilepsy, even though, that’s quite an intense flashing image.

This comes up over and over, where people clearly don't understand how foreign currency exchange works.

The name, of course, tells you, but people seem to think that "currency conversion" is some transformative process where rubles just become bitcoin.

Which is of course: false. To turn rubles into bitcoin, someone who wants to buy rubles has to be willing to buy them for bitcoin. This means someone local, who can transact in rubles, needs to have a supply of bitcoin.

Where are they getting it from? They can't buy it overseas because if you could exchange rubles with foreigners then you could also just buy USD. They could mine it, but that still means they need to be willing to accept rubles for their bitcoin, and yet the scenario presented suggests there's a path to exchange rubles for USD which is more favorable.

In fact at every step of the process, you have the problem that the only way to get Bitcoin from your stranded currency, is to buy it from another party locally.
I will go to my grave thinking that Putin would have never invaded Ukraine had he been able to host his monthly “kiss my ring” cerimonies/parties with his cronies. Instead he self isolated for 2+ years and he still mostly is.

That does seem to have some acceptance among people who (seem to) know what's going on. During the worst of the pandemic, nobody could meet with Putin without undergoing significant quarantine time first. Some reports say it was a matter of weeks.

As a result only the most hardcore of the hardcore yes-men were granted an audience with the Little Czar. Competence, economic and military knowledge, and sound judgement were complete non-factors.
I may be biased, but I cannot see how one can fully comprehend concepts in Dynamics, Solid Mechanics, and other core courses in an undergrad civil/mechanical engineering curriculum without ~six credits in calculus. Yes, you would never face those tricky limits they expect you to solve in high school, but I tend to see those as games that shape the students' frame of mind. Once you pass core engineering courses, you hardly ever have to calculate the forces, torques, and moments by analytical integration either, but having gone through the concepts is what prepares you for their application in practice.

The article advocates for teaching statistics in place of calculus. Surely any stat course has to go further than teaching the sample mean and standard deviation. I cannot see how the students would calculate CDF out of PDF without background in calculus.
Not everything is testable. That’s a modern reductionist approach to reality. Scientifically oriented people tend to think the opposite because scientists are strongly biased towards studying testable phenomena, providing a false impression of general testability.
I think neuromorphic stuff like Rain and others will speed past Nvidia so fast it won’t make a difference. AI screams for analog.

> YouTube: 20 billion USD profit in 2021 on 28 billion revenue

Alphabet does not break out YT's profits in their financial reports, just the revenue. So that $20 billion is just a total fabrication. Shame on you.

It's also not at all a credible number, because YouTube's split of the ad revenue is known to be 45%. It's literally impossible for them to have 70% margins like you claim.
> I'm not sure what the exact messaging your school told

It's been a long time, but if I recall correctly, funding and rankings were partially determined by the number of high school graduates continuing on to college. There was constant pressure to take the right classes and participate in the right activities to meet college admissions requirements. The messaging came from administrators, teachers and counselors.
Sure your point is a good one in general, but you're combining multiple profiles to create this narrative. Dylan didn't go to Stanford, he went to Brown University. Being an intern, you usually don't have a car, and it's not as easy to get from Sunnyvale (LinkedIn headquarters) to Palo Alto as the story sounds, especially pre-UberX. So the "dropping in" is not like they were living in the same city.
variants/sum types is not some earth-shattering concept but has been implemented using tagged unions in C from the beginning of time. At one point in my career i had an occasion to write a "spreadsheet-like data structure" (basically a linked list of linked lists) in three different ways one of which was using a tagged union for the data nodes. The point is that people trivially rolled their own when needed and did not clamour for language/library additions.

I have already pointed out in some of my other replies why it is wrong to consider a variant as a replacement for POD union.

Very. The premise you're floating is the size of a mountain and you're attempting to rest it on top of an egg.

A $25 trillion economy, a massive payments ecosystem, a large payments company in Stripe, and you're talking about isolated examples. Even if there are ten examples, it's ten in tens of thousands of counter examples where businesses aren't having that problem.

The obvious point being: all those other businesses aren't worried because your premise is so rare. And for the small number of businesses that end up in the negative scenario, they're not prominent enough to matter as a warning sign to everybody else.

You'd need a very big, very common problem to spur the kind of adoption premise you're suggesting. It doesn't exist at present. A big share of Stripe's customers (along with other processors) would need to be suffering like that example.
Working this industry my whole life, this brief article doesn't address scale. Embedded runs the gamut from sub kilobyte to multimegabyte, multi-dozen heterogenous architectures with het networks/interconnects. The level of arch described here is very nice to have but incompatible with program managers and customers in most - but not all - markets.

Most coding is done with HALs and platforms like STM32 make it easy with numerous portable APIs from libopencm3 and so on. So the chip shortage wasnt a disaster. 5-10 years ago was scarier but we have gleaned much info from general sw dev, from rev ctrl to sqa, security, unit tests, integration, regression, linting and my personal dislike: source formatting- no thanks for that one, guys! :)

Ofc im speaking mainly as a professional. There are still many prototypes on arduinos shipping....

Security tho is still a weakpoint, but blame short-term business needs for that 50%.

CI for embedded tho is still a huge opportunity. I see the wheel reinvented too often where a turnkey solution could win TTM and incr reliability.
A major factor here is that, especially historically, the vast majority of trading volume for coins apart from BTC/ETH is priced in either of those two. Unless you have aggressive arbitrators and liquid markets with thick and deep order books, this means that smaller-cap coins end up tracking the major ones.

It is only relatively recently that ETH significantly decoupled from BTC in this sense.

There are also infinite ways to construct and weight a price index. Go to different websites and you will notice significant discrepancies. One doesn't necessarily have to be more "accurate" or "better" than the other.

Right now everything seems to be tracking the NASDAQ, though...
> Me? I hate browser apps. But that’s just me.

Same. I wonder how many people have truly switched from Lightroom "Classic" to Lightroom ("Cloud). I still base my work in Classic, but I wonder how widespread that is.
Considering that two years ago the Supreme Court ended up having to hold that the use of the indefinite article "a" in the phrase "a notice to appear" means a singular document that fits the definition of said notice instead of multiple notices sent piecemeal, even clear legal language can somehow wind up being challenged all the way to the top. The opinion, which actually makes for some delightful grammar shade from Gorsuch to Kavanaugh that's both utterly thorough and gratuitous at the same time, is quite the read, although the Supreme Court having to definitively state that "a means a" is almost a parody of itself. I wish you the best of luck with a word that's 5 times longer and features a slightly more complex definition than the meaning of "a".

The opinion, btw: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/19-438_j4el.pdf
Show HN: My Tool Gives Every Domain a Score Based on Its Risk
GGP: How is it exploitative if the worker willfully enters into the contract?

GP: But indentured servants enter willfully into their contracts, and indentured servitude is exploitative. So how is the willful nature of gig work relevant to the question of whether it is exploitative?

You: GP has equated gig work with indentured servitude, and they are in no way comparable, because gig workers can quit whenever they choose.

Me: GP did not equate indentured servitude and gig work, they used indentured servitude as a tool to show the flawed reasoning of GGP.

You: Gig work is nothing like indentured servitude, because gig workers can quit whenever they want, and indentured servants can’t.

Do you see the problem here?

Other governments out there spend money on roads, hospitals, schools, and social welfare regardless of the amount of tax dollars they collect. It would be understandable for people under such a system to view their taxes as purely punitive.
Isn't Bart entirely grade-separated?

Yes, but portions run near/under/over/alongside/in the median of roadway traffic. If you read the tweet thread you can see that a driver on the road was ejected into the BART ROW and was hit by a train.
Like Butcher Ding:

When I first began cutting up oxen, all I could see was the ox itself. After three years, I no longer saw the ox as a whole. And now—now I meet it with my spirit and don’t look with my eyes. My senses and conscious awareness have shut down and my spiritual desires take me away. I follow the Heavenly pattern of the ox, thrusting into the big hollows, guiding the knife through the big openings, and adapting my motions to the fixed structure of the ox. In this way, I never touch the smallest ligament or tendon, much less a main joint.

In my view advertising can't end fast enough, but my worry is that our economy is so tied to advertising as a model that it would cause a deep depression - as spending would shift and slow down to a halt.

Psychopaths with money that want to trick people into doing what they want will always seek out the most targeted way to manipulate people.

If there's a system that allows advertising psychopaths more granularity in their attempts to burrow into your brain they will be all over it, until all the competitive advantage is burned out and then they will hop to whatever gives them even better advantage

My evil genius idea in 2016 was to eventually just inspect every piece of trash that people throw away (legally possible) to build the most personalized and predictive profile of a consumer possible without strapping a camera to them, which is the ultimate goal.

Sorry to be Captain Obvious but the solution for that is to update the official, permanently stored reference docs when a question is asked on slack, not keep the only source of tribal knowledge on a ephemeral chat app.

IMO Slack and chat apps are way overused in development teams. They’re there for questions like “when are we meeting for that team event tonight?” And “Hey, can you review this code before I submit?” And NOT “Can you describe, in massive detail, all the arguments that get passed to our FooBar function?”
