SBF just made a tweet thread where he tried to apologize, while also distancing himself from FTX.US. Just more lies. Why anyone would believe him is beyond me. My guess, is he's desperately trying to avoid a run on FTX.US to keep the SEC from coming in like a bull in a china shop.

I feel bad for him, he's either going to jail for a very long time, or he'll have an "accident" after losing so many people so much money.
Exactly. Nothing makes sense in the end when you think about it.
wondering if it lets you account for that money separately. IIRC, 'tips' don't necessarily count as 'wages', and would be taxed differently. however, also, IIRC, automatic tips - like you described - aren't counted that way. so yeah, just raise your prices.
Okay, sure. But even if getting a cold is just a bandaid that you rip off once, wouldn't you rather rip it off ahead of the big cold season every year?

Tor is The Onion Router.
It is precisely "the onion" you're referring to. It is not a browser. A browser or any other TCP-using software can route packets through the Tor network.

If say 10% of the pool of internet users at the time could make an HTML page on Geocities, what % of today’s pool of internet users could do it? The pool has gotten much larger and much less tech savvy on average.
This is why I always try to tip in cash, even when paying with a credit card. Higher chance of the tip actually going to the worker(s) and not their managers.

Perfectly normal I'm afraid. My 3 year old managed to go the entire summer without a cold which was great progress. As soon as the weather changed, she got sick again.
At this point I'm not sure how good polling can be carried out, in terms of data collection methods:

Phone behavior is generationally defined, I'm not sure if the average gen Z'er talks via the phone function of...a phone. It would be much more reasonable to expect an app based communication.

Ask the captain of the SS Boaty McBoatface about polling via internet. It's all polls in an echo chamber and big targets for those that would wish to introduce bias.
I think it falls under the expression, "More money than sense."
There’s no right way. Octopus is a word created in modern scientific latin by nonnative (scientific) speakers out of greek parts brought into English. There are no real rules there.

It is not a loanword from Greek, it was meant to be a scientific latin origin word, but not native latin like other Latin words that have -us as endings for nouns.

It’s a mess, there’s no answer, pluralize as you like but don’t go telling anyone there’s a right way because there isn’t. It’s a greek, latin, and english word, but also none of them. No usage is standard or ultimately correct.
Nicely written piece highlighting the value of in-house expertise and capabilities, providing a lesson that translates very well imo to why government projects should have more in house expertise and not contract everything to the private sector.
Wow. Sincere thanks for taking time to write this elaborate answer. This is truly useful.

The one about price (and quality) disparity is very insightful. Didn't know it could vary that much.

The app I am trying to build is not a CRUD app. To give you some hint, it's about collecting data from various sources and putting them in a nice dashboard. The data in question is decently large and it comes from several dozens of sources. Most tech guys would talk it down like a trivial technical problem which can be solved in a hackathon but it does solve a non-trival and a very important problem for my potential customers.

You are right about the mockup since it would give me a great clarity myself as in what the end result would look like.

Again, many thanks for your detailed answer.
I read "The Simple Path to Wealth." But honestly, the TL;DR is pick a low-cost broker (like Vanguard) and put your money into something broad, such as VTI for the United States stock market. You could also mix in a world index and bonds, but the expected return on both are lower. All about your own risk tolerance.
Those studies you reference conflict with each other. The second isn't peer-reviewed.

From the first one, it actually says for men younger than 40, myocarditis is actually higher in vaccinated, whereas for women it's similar to infection:

"In men younger than 40 years old, the number of excess myocarditis events per million people was higher after a second dose of mRNA-1273 than after a positive SARS-CoV-2 test (97 [95% CI, 91–99] versus 16 [95% CI, 12–18]). In women younger than 40 years, the number of excess events per million was similar after a second dose of mRNA-1273 and a positive test (7 [95% CI, 1–9] versus 8 [95% CI, 6–8])."

That supports my belief that vaccination should be voluntary for everyone but especially young people.
I'd go for one screen with a queue of prioritized unlocking tasks which need to be completed successfully one after the other. These tasks could get the chance to hand over a fragment which the screen embeds and presents to the user, in order to properly modularize the tasks.
I live in the US and I HATE tipping.

Just multiply all the menu items by 1.15, 1.18, 1.20, or whatever you need to ensure your wait staff is happy, and re-print the menu.

Don't make ME have to bust out a calculator and do math after my meal, and then have to decide which of the above numbers I should use.

I read an interesting article blog post some time ago about "sanewashing" [1]

Sanewashing is the process by which radical policies get watered down - as a political movement becomes more mainstream, every new member wants to be able to explain the movement to their parents, and so chooses a slightly less radical, easier to understand interpretation. This happens over and over again until you reach the point where the watered down beliefs are the majority, and the movement finds people with the original radical beliefs are an embarrassment to be silenced.

"Defund The Police" isn't merely a confusing choice of name - the initial founders of the movement meant it literally, in the way an anarchist might. It's only as more people joined the movement that it's been sanewashed to mean "have more drug treatment, social workers and mental health crisis first responders, alongside the police"

You can’t make an in-joke when there is no in-group anymore. Software could be whimsical when computer users were a small number and could be expected to have been familiarised with a culture where this sort of funny aside could be understood.

No away everyone and their parents is using a computer. For most, it’s seen as something unavoidable but slightly baffling. You can’t expect these users to get it if you do something silly. It’s just going to create confusion.
Huh, my mistake. I guess I misremembered it
Vocaloid has the name brand from being old, and Hatsune Miku, but at this point Synthesizer V has completely blown it out of the water. SOLARIA[0] in particular came out in January and, to my ears, sounds significantly better than any of the demo tracks for V6. There's also been a number of AI voicebanks for SynthV like Natalie that came out in the past few months which have sounded way better than the V6 demo tracks.

Vocaloid was the only real competitor in vocal synths for so long they completely stopped innovating. Very IE6-esque.

Even for computers; for a critical system I'd rather plan some small incremental updates regularly to keep it healthy and under control rather than do nothing for a few years and suddenly go a mega-update of the whole kernel + shared lib + dependencies in one go, hoping that everything is going to be OK.
As someone who has written an application with sync and async Python components within the same process, it is all, nothing, or pain.

(If you really, really need to do this - triple check - use queues & worker threads to decouple the sync parts and keep them out of your event loop thread, as a sort of sync-async impedence match.)
I used to work shipping & receiving, where I got minimum wage, and didn't get a tip for anything. That's why I'm happy to let people working retail & food service jobs just do the work for their wage.

See how that works?
Yes, we should have open standards for content-types and dynamic fetching and updating of code from trusted locations on the network. Then the browser itself becomes little more than a container for executing rendering code, with plugins for every content-type under the sun. But we are on a different timeline.

With WASM, this may yet still happen.
To explain, I'll borrow the solution that I first saw in a Fog Creek presentation from ages ago ("DVCS University")...

Essentially, if you have more than one person making changes to the same piece of code, the method for resolving them is:

1) Pull - gets their changes

2) Merge - puts their changes together with yours and you can reorganize them at that point.

Note, this was done with Mercurial which doesn't have the concept of a stage, so Pull feels like it has a slightly different meaning when you look at it that way. One [suggestion][1] for Git if you want to achieve the same effect - getting a Fast-Forward at the end - is to Rebase, then Merge last.

Part of me knew this, I simply forgot and wanted to get out of this particular hole.

>new (or newly-conspicuous) PoS tipping

Increasingly, in the US, people don't carry cash/coins with them. I might have a "just in case" $20 or two but I mostly don't have currency to cash tip which is probably one reason you see it appearing more on PoS devices.
I think the article is correct here, actually - if you need to run a CPU-bound task, you’ll need a ProcessPoolExecutor.
This isn't about wait staff who make the tip minimum wage, though. This is about fast food workers who make the regular minimum wage and get the tips as a sort-of bonus. From what I can tell, they are almost always pooled together, even across shifts in a lot of cases (for good reasons).
Interesting.

Question, though, and coming back on topic: Did the rising interest rates trigger this (FXT)? There might be a path here, and it would not have the two-year delay of adjustable rate mortgages.
Yes, by definition one option trade for puts or calls with extrinsic value is zero-sum as with no other trades, the final settlement price zeros out the extrinsic value.

Many options trades are done in combination with other products, however, which allows for non-zero sum.
Yeah, I'm aware, this is just so extreme at this point it feels worth pointing out.
The way you describe it sounds like a micro trickle-down wealth redistribution rather than making sure someone has a fair wage.

Personally I find this really frustrating. You're not paid fairly for your labor. You only achieve a living wage through the generosity of those "happy to help boost" me. In my mind that reinforces a power dynamic between the "professionally successful" and those in the service industry. If I get a tip that raises my wage to something I can live off, now I must be profusely thankful to the person that donated their money to me.

I may be isolated in that opinion. I understand many service industry workers prefer tipping. For my personality though it's distressing.
The new V6 vocaloids even with the AI expressiveness still sound very much like vocaloids. There's a specific timbre to the way they pronounce certain vowels or do odd formant shifts that always comes through that I'm unsure of if it's intentional or not - on one hand it's very signature, on the other hand it doesn't sound quite as 'realistic'.

As far as the iconic characters go, they're moving to an entirely different engine (Piapro NT) anyways, so I wonder how future works created using them will sound.

Even more than that, the accounts we get claim that some of the people in the focus group said the 1/3 pound burger was smaller than the quarter pounder. Even if those claims are accurate, it's possible they were looking at the diameter, since the 1/3 pounder has two smaller patties stacked on top of each other, while the quarter pounder is one large patty.

Most places that report on this say that the third pounder was cheaper and that Americans preferred the taste, but they didn't buy it because of the name and their poor math skills. But its name was changed to "Papa Burger," and it still didn't become the quarter pounder killer it's portrayed as.

I will happily tip 20-30% at restaurants without thinking about it, when there is even decent service (free-refill drinks refilled, server not overtly rude or clearly wishing they were elsewhere, etc). But this isn't about servers, it's about tipping having become expected or at least overtly requested in areas where it never was before.

There's a Subway by my house that has the following options: 20%, 25%, 30%, custom, or skip. Before the advent of consumers swiping their own credit cards, no Subway employee received tips for anything.

I will gladly tip someone $20 on a $60 meal because they're making less than $3/hr. I'll also vigorously support legislation and politicians that want to pay them a livable wage. I'll be damned if I'm tipping the Subway employee making $18/hr an extra $5 for the sandwich that took them all of 4 minutes to make. It's ridiculous.

Seconded. I lived in Texas and learned to keep the peace and blow with the wind. Now, I'm in PNW, I'm similarly unsure how to proceed here. I'd fail any purity test administered.
Tipping is classism.
so freakin lame, trying so hard to be part of the cool kids since it worked for elon musk, create your own schtick but i guess thats too much to expect from people who just want to get rich quick off crypto and nfts.
Do not fully agree here. You can choose not to have a tech co-founder and still make a decently successful business. Customers care only if their problem is getting solved. Rarely they care about the how part.
100% agreement. I'd prefer to pay the true cost of my coffee, including reasonable living wage and benefits for the barista.

I neither need nor desire the additional mental load of worrying about tips.

And I don't love the implicit argument being made in the article... the wealthy should subsidize coffee consumption for the less-wealthy. If you can't afford the full cost of a carry-out latte, perhaps make your own coffee at home? Or, alternatively, maybe Ferrari should slash prices, ask the wealthy to donate money to make up the difference, and we can all drive super-cars?

> With an async api I like the fact that I can make very fast https replies to the browser while queing the resulting long running job and then responding back to the Vue based SPA client over a web socket connection. This gives the interface a really snappy feel.

How does this compare to doing the same with eg. Django Channels (or other ASGI-aware frameworks)?

I have yet to find a use case compelling enough to dive into async in Python (doesn't help that I also work in JS and Go so I just turn to them for in cases where I could maybe use asyncio). This is not to say it's useless, just that I'm still searching for a problem this is the best solution for.

What is "next gen" in this implementation? Chrome support?

IMO the hardest things in distributed crawling at scale are a good URL frontier, priorities, rate limiting and things like that, which are quite often overlooked.
I agree with your sentiment on tipping - I feel the same way. However I think the article did a pretty good job at answering your question of Why cant we just give employees dignity and a fair wage?. It's for economic reasons.

To make it work you'd have to collude on pricing with all the other coffee shops (which I think would be illegal but IANAL), or you'd have to use government force to ban tipping (which would without a doubt hurt many people in different areas). It's a hard problem, though I do hope we can figure it out because the status quo of expecting 20+% tip on an already expensive product is not good.
> The only reason I continue to tip is the knowledge that my food will be spat in / worse if I don't.

Nobody does this, even if you're a "horrible" customer and a poor tipper. If you're a bad regular at a restaurant, the front of house will probably grumble about you behind your back (maybe even give you a rude nickname) and give you curt service, though.

EDIT: They have probably dealt with much worse than you. You're not a church brunch group demanding 20 lemons and a jar of sugar packets that tips them in fake $100 Jesus bills.

AFAIK, but it could be wrong, it was basically racism. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/05/opinion/minimum-wage-raci...
That's true. Good Clinical Practice guidelines say that Institutional Review Boards must evaluate compensation is not too high otherwise it constitutes "undue influence".

...but I think that's a terrible idea. I understand that, to come up with a far-fetched example, high compensation could result in some weird edge cases where, for example, a Phase I trial with healthy volunteers and a non-preventive drug candidate (e.g. an antibiotic rather than a COVID vaccine), but you're confident that drug is going to kill 99% of the volunteers so you offer $10 million to each volunteer. A totally informed volunteer might view this as something akin to a life insurance policy that pays out to the family even upon suicide. I don't personally see an ethical problem with that so long as volunteers are really well-informed, but I could see how others and the law would be uncomfortable with the ethics of such a situation.

But aside from that far-fetched situation, it seems harmful to limit compensation... especially if it's true that patient compensation is a small part of overall cost. Perhaps if every trial doubled compensation to 10% of today's overall costs, absolute overall costs would decrease because less effort has to go into patient recruitment.

I do see one real-world issue with high compensation, but it has nothing to do with ethics. It has to do with statistical interpretation. If you start dangling too much money to participate in a trial, you may change the kind of people who participate in the trial. These individuals might not be representative of the actual users of the drug. The problem is similar to running a drug trial in the US versus Japan. The US has a pretty diverse population with respect to genetics. Japan, in contrast, is almost entirely ethnic Japanese. If you were to somehow succeed in using Japanese trial data to market an acne cream in the US, the same drug that cleared up Japanese faces might result in Venezuelans having their noses fall off!

However, I'm cautiously optimistic that higher compensation could make trials more representative. In my mind, I could see how African-Americans, who tend to participate in trials at a lower rate than their Caucasian fellow humans, would, if only for the shameful history of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, require greater compensation to take the risk of participating in a trial.
Not if you factor in risk aversion and declining utility. Most investors would happily give up some upside for downside protection. This is where option strategies are not zero sum
