Trillions of dollars are stolen by government officials wastefully spending taxes they collect via mechanisms of force and by people who classify as "money laundering" activities they don't like -- such as people who grow weed and then sell it to a willing adult buyer and have the nerve to actually clean the cash so it can be spent on stuff like buying baby formula or the rent.

If the argument is bad stuff possible then your argument is to abolish government.

We cannot presuppose that breaking the law is necessarily bad or that following the law is not bad.

Why the redesign?

What problem does this new logo solve?

Isn't there anything better designers or PMs can spend their time and money on?

The old logo projects quality, heritage and looking at the symbol it resembles more of a library.

The new logo - doesn't fit the image of Oxford and looks like any other 'modern' Dribbble logo.

This is another case of redesigning for the sake of redesigning or to stroke someone's ego.

EDIT: the old logo belonged to a family of logos. Check the Oxford Uni logo. The new logo doesn't fit that theme anymore.
No, but I do rate it low.

Regardless, it will shift my consumption patterns.
The feedback is fair enough given my phrasing. Of course, IPv6 can't give you a fixed IP address everywhere you go; because that's determined by network topology and IP assignment.

All I'm saying is that there's better segregation of the traffic from each IP resulting in easier analysis without the cooperation of NATing layers.

Oh yes, THIS.

And "making easy money" by trading stocks / options / other securities is a far, far better story to tell than "I got lucky at the casino" - which helps lure even more players into the securities casino.

(And, at least in my social group, folks who win or lose at the casino seem to honestly speak of their net gain/loss. Vs. I've yet to hear a single story about making money in securities trading which even hinted at whether the teller's trades added up to a net gain or net loss for the (say) year.)
I don't believe this is exactly ground-breaking research... even hobbyists know that in a battery with identical cells, the individual cells exhibit different capacities over enough charge/discharge cycles due to unavoidable differences in manufacturing.

The "right" way to charge a battery of cells is with balance charging... but there are at least two ways to do it.

It turns out that the most common way to do balance charging is to charge the whole battery up to full capacity and monitor the individual cell voltage. The "weaker" cells that can't hold as much energy get charged faster, and so the balance charger applies a load to them to bleed off their "extra" charge while the stronger cells continue to take a charge. This is a very brute-force method of balance charging a battery, but it works well enough and is cheap to implement and therefore is how almost all consumer electronics do it.

The better way to do balance charging would be a separate charging and monitoring circuit for each individual cell, which is all this article is advocating. Problem is, it requires more components and is more expensive to implement.
It's fun to me to stock pick and I rather enjoy it fully aware of the risks. My solution is to set aside a small amount for this purpose and the rest, as you said, put away into index funds.

Some people view it as a form of entertainment, and most people view entertainment as something that is ok to pay money for. Keep it within your budget, and have fun. The exact same could be said for options trading.

I totally agree, btw, that you aren't likely to get rich options trading. But it certain can be a very fun way to test your skills at analysis and predictions.

Usually a logo/rebrand change keeps the name. So no real suprise.

That said, SGI had an iconic logo of a cube formed from a single periodic pipe before.
I was using SGIs daily at the time and I almost cried when they did the rebrand.

The rebrand replaced it with a contemporary (at the time, mind you) typography logo that would look outdated if the compamy still existed.

To their credit, the rebrand did include a typeface design for use with all their design, i.e. detached from the logo.

The resp. fonts would have the aforementioned issues though -- one variant was used for the logo which is kinda cheap.

But at least they had a tyepface designed and it was recognizable. That rarely happens. Commonly a rebrand will just swap the old typeface for something different but already existing.

The immune system seems to work in somewhat the opposite way that you suggest. There is growing evidence to support the hygiene hypothesis. Living in overly sterile environments can cause the immune system to go haywire and start attacking the body's own tissues (autoimmune disease). We co-evolved with germs, and need a constant exposure to some level of germs to stay healthy.

Meh, this is just a different form of an ad hominem... There are literally hundreds of pages of documents written about CPI justification and process, and several documents specifically showing how Shadowstats is garbage (e.g. https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2008/08/art1full.pdf).

It's more like it "got a break" because people were quarantines, so now you haven't had the flu for 3 years it will be less likely to handle it than if you had it last year. Flu spreads primarily via bodily fluids (door knobs, touchy kids, etc) and people are now more likely to get it and a huge swathe of the population hasn't had it in a while, hence this year will likely be a bad one, along with more people who haven't had flu in a while.
If you're interested in the history of why I wrote this article, then it originated from this Twitter thread: https://nitter.net/timdaub/status/1590731949433573377
I suspect a lot of these flus are Covid... I just got Covid recently, but I only felt ill for maybe two days. I only tested myself because I'm in a choir that requires testing for certain rehearsals, otherwise I would have figured it's "the flu" or something. The guy I sat next to this week said he had a similar illness a few weeks ago, but he didn't test himself and attributed it to a random cold (but was surprised he's had lingering symptoms).
The nonsense is that it's 'irrevocable', not that the lack of exposure leads to a debt. It's consistent with the headline.
This is a bit hyperbolic.

It's really not that bad of a rebrand. Brands are important. People care about them. They need to be updated with the times. Perhaps the author would care to show some alternative modernizations to illustrate a better way to do it.
Python asyncio is pretty awful. The libraries are of extremely poor quality, and the slightest mistake can lead to blocking the event loop. After a few years of dealing with it I refuse to continue and am just using threads.

Honestly the biggest assets you can have is

1) be willing to read a bunch of boring shit and make sense out of it. If you can read an sec filing and understand it and are willing to do so youre automatically in the top like 1% of retail. Most people are trading on social media tips and other bullshit like that. If you can figure out how to find and understand real no-bullshit information you're well on your way

2) having a small bank roll. Say under a few million. You now are able to take significant (significant as in, a significant portion of your net worth) positions in ultra small cap companies. Many Institutional traders cannot do this without legal implications they'd rather avoid and so you are competing with a much smaller pool of people, and those people are necessarily less advantaged (in terms of information and access to tools/resources) compared to you.

> they're living beings with emotions and impulses.

Isn't that all the more reason they should stop after they experience the emotions of their first loss?

If all they experienced were negative emotions + losses, they'd stop sooner/retail options trading wouldn't be "such an epidemic".

Therefore, something I feel the article author slightly missed discussing, they win sometimes.

That's the data I'm interested in.

How often does a retail investor, irregardless of predatory Wall Street + high commissions + fees + whatever, come out ahead on an options trade? Once a week? Once a month? Once a year?

If they win 50% of the time and lose 50% of the time, maybe it's not that evil?
A lot of the simplicity of this approach relies on the x86 registers being able to be directly mapped to arm registers. This seems to be possible for most x86 registers, even simd registers. Although, I think this falls over for avx512, which is supported on the Mac pro. Arm neon has 32 128 bit registers - avx512 supports 32 512 bit registers and dedicated predicate registers. What do they do? Back to jit mode?

Modern panels are about 22-24% efficient. Asphalt is about 0.1 albedo. So if you displace or export electricity. At least 12%.

I can't for the life of me find the albedo of solar panels of various types (people just assume it's zero which is patently untrue because it's much more visible than black paint at 0.05). A completely made up guess would be around 0.05-0.2 (they look lighter than asphalt except for topcon) so my guess would be 17-34% better (or ballpark same as greenery).

Noting also that frequent colds can lead to lifelong asthma conditions

Noting further that we really don't know the long-term effects of Covid on young people (both in the more frequent case of a speedy recovery and in the less frequent "long Covid").

Masks in school, and basic good hygiene (washing hands, having the school disinfect contact surfaces such as doorknobs multiple times per day, ...) go a long way to keeping everyone safe and healthy.
Not mentioned: The behavior is different between python 3.6 and 3.8. That was fun to debug.

Python is simply not the right language for asynchronous programming. Things that are easy in many other languages are hard and don't work as you'd expect. If you are in a python-only shop, brush up on your presentation skills and see if you can convince them to branch out.

Or write a shell script. You're better off with "./read_socket.sh &" than you are with any python library.
"There are low risk strategies like the wheel that basically guarantee you income for doing nothing but being patient."

I haven't found any. And every time an option trader tells me about their "low risk" strategy I see a disaster waiting to happen. The "low risk strategies" of option trading are usually strategies where you make a bet that will give you a low income if things go about the way they have been going about for the past couple of years, and massive disastrous losses if a very unlikely seeming market event happens.

The problem is that the market loves serving up unlikely and impossible seeming events. So really what you think is a low risk income strategy is actually you providing insurance to someone against an unlikely but an entirely possible event without you pricing in the risk of the event in your insurance fees. Because you have managed to convince yourself the event will not happen.

For example, a couple of years ago people were so used to low interest rates that they kind of started believing that interest rates would be low forever. And they came up with all kinds of options and derivative strategies which seemed to generate free money but in reality were bets that interest rates would stay low, or would not breach a certain impossibly high seeming level. Well interest rates went up and in some places (for example, the UK) they hit levels many people thought impossible. And boy were there blow - ups.

More specifically, to your point, "the wheel" strategy is basically a bet against volatility. It will work if the volatility of the primary market is lower than the implied volatility priced by the options market. If not, it will not work and you will lose money. Oh, and if there is one high volatility event, bad enough to wipe you out ... well then you are wiped out. Even if the average volatility was in your favor. So, no, the wheel is not a safe strategy.

If you think you can predict volatility go ahead. But some of the highest paid traders try to do that and get it wrong, so, good luck. But do not fool yourself that you are being safe.

It's just about how are you measuring the slope? Like, when you first learn derivatives and the math teacher draws a line between two points on a curve, then draws another from points closer together, then draws the tangent, then goes through how you get to a derivative function etc.

The yoy is just using two points very far apart. The mom is using two points closer together. It would be nice but practically impossible to measure it instantaneously, mom is about as good as we get.

> the Java ecosystem has become a security and maintenance nightmare that other ecosystems simply aren't.

What? NodeJS ecosystem with npm was a nightmare to every security team I've worked with. Java is much the opposite, you run a local Artifactory to cache your dependencies, you run security checks against the cached dependencies to guarantee everything your org is actually depending on doesn't have major holes, you can block dependencies from being pulled through your Artifactory proxy. Hell, your org can even provide a BOM/root POM describing exactly the supported versions for dependencies across the board.

I've been working as a SWE for almost 20 years, on my languages toolbelt for applications I've developed and maintained in production I have ASP 3.0, PHP, Ruby, Python, Go, JavaScript, Scala, Clojure and Java; from all of these ecosystems the one I've consistently been the most productive is the JVM and even Java itself I'd say.

I don't even like Java the language, I just think it's a great tool for a lot of jobs (even more if maintainability over the long-term is a must), but I sincerly can't see a single one of your points against Java materialised in my work experience...

As someone who knows people invited to tea with PRC police for wrong think as well as people, including myself who has problem with automated Google service bans, guess which one was easier to address? In comparison CCP seems downright pleasant to deal with, you typically get multiple warnings with human followup before even getting dragged into station to write insincere self criticism letter and then get on with your life. From article, looks like wechat is the same. Dealing with Google on the other hand has been nothing but and automated sisyphean void including the alleged "real human" TM support from paid Google One sub that still copy and pasted the same response about how they can't stop charging me for a service on an (actually two) account they banned. Like worse case scenario for losing wechat if one made Xi angry and being false-positived by Google AI shenanigans is getting new cell number and registering new account. Except in PRC, before getting to that point you might have chance to clear things up with a real live human, sometimes they even followup with you. I know I'm being flippant, but having dealt with CCP bureaucrats for years, and recently Google support, only mildly.
