When I see a construction crew fixing the road, I stop and shove a dollar in each of their pockets, and then I continue on my way.

Luckily, my employer’s clients also give me a few dollars each time I see them, so I do not have to to the bank that often to get change.

Weird comment. Are you Indian?

In my case I delivered pizzas, and a person's house is often (though importantly not always) an indicator.

My experience was that wealth doesn't seem to matter much for tipping. When I first started I always hoped for the order to the big houses, but as I gained experience I realized it really doesn't matter. Some wealthy people gave generously, as did many poorer people. One of my favorite customers was an illegal immigrant living in a trailer park. Every time I delivered it was a $5 tip (which in those days was a great tip). On a side note, when an order for this guy came up I always made sure the cooks did a great job, and I took his order first.
Why do companies over-hire when they are doing well?
Asyncio is not ment for CPU Bound Task but for IO Bound Tasks.
You should have used multiprocessing.
The problem you describe is exactly what asyncio is used for: saturate your bandwidth better.

maybe the right aproach would have been a Threadpool? Plus you don't have to refractor the task. Just let it run sync, but you can make it also async
It's odd that you think it's super important to tip a very specific amount.
Why couldn’t the team be tasked on something else while waiting?
From the Methods section of the Patone paper (your first link): "A self-controlled case series study of people ages 13 years or older vaccinated for COVID-19 in England between December 1, 2020, and December 15, 2021 [...]"

In other words, all of the participants received covid vaccines.

The second paper you've linked studied unvaccinated persons (mRNA-vax recipients were specifically excluded) and its claim of higher rates of myocarditis for covid infection is based other researchers' values of myocarditis incidence post-vax and, as alluded to in the Discussion section, skewed by relatively low 2nd-shot uptake among the American participants (myocarditis risk associated with mRNA shots goes up with each successive dose).

The Israeli paper looks at myocarditis in persons before the vaccines became available (March 2020) and then afterwards. In Israel, 2nd shot and further shot uptake was much higher than in many other places.

I would say they underestimated the impact of federal abortion ban had on women. I live in Wisconsin and seen it first hand. Women who are struggling financially wanting to vote Republican but they don't and they vote democrat because they have young girls at home and worried about their future and having options. It was a mistake on Republicans part to ban abortion at the federal level. Personally, I'm against abortion and I find it immoral but I also think government shouldn't interfere with women's healthcare.
It's pretty simple. In Democratic areas you don't speak out about being Republican and in Republican areas you don't speak out about being a Democrat. I'm from the South, lived in Oregon and New York for a while, and now live in the South again so I've seen the dynamics play both ways.

Social ostracism is more vicious from Democrats but I've known of Republicans to spread outrageous rumors about Democratic voters and in places like where I grew up, if you're a man, you'll be called gay/pedo and possibly beaten (usually not jumped, but aggressively taunted with slurs until a fight ensues from what I've seen IRL) unless you're well liked for some other reason like that you're well connected, have money, or are really masculine/served in the military.

Overall I'd say it's better to be a Republican in a Democratic area than the opposite since the looming threat of physical violence is worse than people just thinking you're a bad person.

The main reason why Republicans in Democratic areas would have to worry would be if they work in a creative industry where being known as a bigot of some kind would cause people to not like to collaborate with you but even then you're relatively safe as long is you're only bigoted against one of the less protected minority groups like trans people (probably why trans people are the culture war topic du jour).

Look at the bogleheads forum and wiki.

The idea is just: invest in an index fund, highly diversified, cheap. There are some variations, like using an equity and bond split, but you can just get a world all cap stock ETF and sit back.

That's all. It's hard to accept you don't need to know more than this, but it's what most people should be doing.
"This does mean to exploit this vulnerability the user needs to be
using Zsh in vi line editing mode (usually via $EDITOR having "vi" in
it). While somewhat obscure this is not a totally unknown
configuration."

I think by now, both users have adjusted their settings.
They didn't get it wrong - they were trying to understand if it was a better (or useful) model by carrying out an experiment by adding it to the other polling questions.

It turned out that the model developed from that question was a worse predictor, but that isn't wrong any more than carrying out an experiment that didn't match the expected results is wrong.

That they are coming back and looking at it again is good.

Note also that the people who are asking these questions (good questions, just asked wrong) come from an economic rather than polling background and getting the right wording for a question is very hard.
I think the book is worth a read if you haven't read anything similar (using index funds as a strategy) - "The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing"

else, the forums are where a ton of folks hang out and discuss the minutiae of being boring ;) - https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/index.php
That is an acceptable outcome. Take out the social aspect and just pay people.
Who is serious? A lot of that spam is snake oil salesman.
The researchers missed a great opportunity to make the app look like John Connor’s debit card and access card hacking tool in Terminator 2!
You give GitHub the right to use anything you upload to improve their service. What you're trying to say is after you create your GitHub account and agree to that, you're posting magic words(OSS License) that somehow binds GitHub which already has a more permissive license that you granted to them. It's articulated in the blog post.
Serious question: is xterm really entirely at fault here? Doesn't zsh get some of the blame?

> It so happens ^G is in Zsh when in vi line editing mode bound to "list-expand". Which can run commands as part of the expansion leading to command execution without pressing enter!
You're making the same mistake. If inflation is transient, the price _increase_ is transient, but the high prices remain. It would only go back to 2/gal if the high prices themselves were transient. Which I really hope is the case, but IDK.
Relevant to the common alive person. I'll be that person chosen at random; I don't understand the motto. How is it relevant to a school? Good riddance.
ZOHO Assist works well too. It might be worth considering if you are looking to switch from TeamViewer or another competitor.
Congrats to the team that built JWST!
But clearly people are spreading coronavirus while vaccinated?
Transient inflation means the $4 / gallon milk prices stick around and don’t go any higher. Going back down to $2 would be deflation.
I did, it's fully my fault, I just wanted to see what would happen.

Love the work, really great job!
I only ever heard concerns about it from Guix people who are hard on bootstrappability (they literally have a few hundred kb C-subset compiler which can compile a whole-C compiler written in that subset which will be able to compile a normal C compiler, etc). But most platforms are not made for easy bootstrappability and it is not a concern in itself.
True, only that Weiner was surprisingly endearing in that documentary. Despite at the time being a staunch republican, it's hard not to like the guy, and when the fall comes you're almost rooting for him.

But SBF? The last interview I saw him give was I think with Levine; it was shocking because SBF was describing whence crypto derives its value. And Levine remarked that SBF was describing a Ponzi scheme.

For me, that interview showed two things. First, that SBF quite obviously has no morals whatsoever. And second, he's not nearly as smart as he's portrayed to be.

His whole cred derives from his MIT degree combined with his experience at Jane Street. Jane Street is a great firm, but what they do is really specific, and not necessarily the "coolest" way to make money. It's a lot of tech and infrastructure, less finance and trading chops. (The real badasses are RenTech, for example.)

Anyway, I watched a few videos that he made while working at his crypto hedge fund, Alameda. He described the strategies, and they sounded like the typical market maker stuff - arbing exchange discrepancies yadda yadda. Not the most inspired stuff.
There's a critical difference between dynamic pricing and tipping: one is optional, the other is not. That makes a huge difference in the psychology.
Please explain how so.

If you buy the stock outright: you can lose everything if the company goes out of business.

If you use a simple wheel, you can still lose everything, but the blow is blunted by any premiums you collect.
I don’t know about the low-wage, high-tipping argument. Having worked at a chain coffee shop, I was paid minimum wage and would usually make less than $1/hr in tips by the time it was split across everyone else. So maybe it works better for like 3rd wave coffee shops
We could have a higher level language and tooling that transpiles everything to all known markdown flavors and bundles them all. But I guess one of these 31 flavors already does that.
This is one of the reasons downturns in markets are good. If the market would've just kept growing then SBF likely could've kept his ponzi scheme afloat without anyone noticing.

The 2008 recession is what really stopped Bernie Madoff.
I'm curious how you determined whether or not someone was "wealthy."

And yet solar radiation falling on just 1% of Spain, Italy, & Greece - even in the Winter - can power >50% of Europe (and >100% in the Summer).

Europe already gets ~12% of its energy from Nuclear, ~5% from hydro.

Solar energy will not be a problem in the future - neither will sourcing the remaining 33% of energy from other renewables, nuclear, and fossil fuels.
If there is no service then I am not going to add a tip. I think the most egregious one I've ever seen was at Panera Bread. The automatic machine where I didn't even talk to a person to enter my order asked me for a tip.

I'm not going to be guilted into this nonsense tipping scheme. If they need more money then they can raise their prices and I will evaluate whether or not that is worth it to me prior to purchase.
The interesting point is why tipping as wage evolved only (or almost only) in the USA and in the rest of the world is a way to say thank you the few times that service is worth a thank you. It's not that businesses all over the world don't compete on price with nearby businesses or that their wages are so high that their staff would leave the tip on the table.
Being slightly more cynical now, I'm wondering if this push is merely the payment processor realizing they could increase their cut by shaming the customer into paying more.

And I don't believe we can measure this purely financially, as simply not tipping in a coffeeshop with a tablet now comes with a bigger sentiment of shame, which is especially levied on the ones for which that extra 20% actually matters.
Tipping incentivizes good service. When I travel to countries without tips I always have to chase down someone for service..
Plus, good apples in the police force end up drummed out or worse. If you try and blow the whistle you might end up involuntarily committed and your buddies on the force will make challenge coins commemorating it.
The device I tested this on runs a moderately modified AOSP based os. I cannot specify the device model etc. I have also tested this on another LineageOS device and that is also affected. So I suppose any aosp-based rom that isn't heavily modified (like Samsung/MiUI) are affected.
_Life at the top_ by Nobel Laureate Angus Deaton:

"According to the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index daily poll of the US population, taller people live better lives, at least on average. They evaluate their lives more favorably, and they are more likely to report a range of positive emotions such as enjoyment and happiness. They are also less likely to report a range of negative experiences, like sadness, and physical pain, though they are more likely to experience stress and anger, and if they are women, to worry. These findings cannot be attributed to different demographic or ethnic characteristics of taller people, but are almost entirely explained by the positive association between height and both income and education, both of which are positively linked to better lives."

Seriously, that was complete torture watching that video. I thought for some stupid reason it might be interesting. Wrong.
It's interesting then to contemplate what kind of society we would have if we had developed our level of sentience but done so under water. Anybody know of any good sci-fi that explores that?
I googled "cactodes" and this comment was the 7th result on the first page.
I'm all for that - and then you can tip in addition when you have a request that is above and beyond.

(Many restaurants I'm seeing have "18% gratuity automatically added" and yet still have a tip line for those who don't read.)
The west coast states in the US have not had a lower tipped minimum wage for many years, and the social aspect still has not changed.
Markdown is a convenient but deeply limited markup language with only a small subset of html's features. And yes, limitations are good because we want documents not web apps, etc, etc, but I mean "images can't have captions" limited, "navigation bars don't exist" limited. Actual important features of html don't exist in markdown, which is why almost every markdown platform ends up adding extensions and shortcodes. Why use markdown at all? Just use html.

"But html isn't style-agnostic" yes it is. CSS isn't style-agnostic. Instead of a markdown browser, how about a browser with a fixed stylesheet and no js? You don't even need a browser for that, that could just be a userscript that gets plugged into an existing browser. It'd break non-compliant websites that require javascript or custom css, but so would a markdown browser. Most people wouldn't write content for it, but most people wouldn't write content for a markdown browser either.

"But html is cluttered" it doesn't have to be. This is a valid webpage:

<!doctype html>
<title>Page Title</title>
<h1>Page Title</h1>

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
Ut ac lorem ut massa euismod vestibulum.

<p>Nullam rutrum blandit eleifend. Aenean a varius diam.
Morbi sodales velit nunc, vel vestibulum lorem tempus sodales.

Personally, I prefer writing in markdown, but that's no reason to insert a markdown renderer into browsers. HTML can already be as sleek and readable as you want. If we added a new type of markup for anybody with a personal preference, we'd never stop.
Personally I've always preferred to muddy the waters by treating it as a fourth-declension noun, so that its plural would be octopūs.
Twitter is like everyone with an opinion standing in an open field shouting at each other. Its not a forum for debate, just for publicising yourself.
Interesting update yesterday:

>>UPDATE: Nov 9, 2022: Since this article was published, a liquidity crunch has created solvency risk for FTX and its future is uncertain. Many have been affected by this unexpected turn of events. For Sequoia, our fiduciary responsibility is to our LPs. To that end, we shared this letter with them today regarding our investment in FTX. For FTX, we believe its fiduciary responsibility is first to its customers, and second to its shareholders. As such, FTX is exploring all opportunities to ensure its customers are able to recover their funds as quickly as possible.
To be fair people in the waiting room aren't under the care/responsibility of the hospital. It's a public area.
Some live to five years. Long enough to get clever.
Considering it's probably the world's most used OS, it's laughable. They churn out new recommendations constantly only to deprecate it again and think of some new tedious convoluted approaches a short time later. I think it's a combination of poor judgment and Google's toxic internal incentives to design crazy new stuff.
I'd be a bit more careful to paint such a large region with such a broad brush, there's nuance within. I grew up in the PNW, but lived in Atlanta and East Cobb in my 20's from 2010-2016. I never minded being the person in the room with an opposing viewpoint (and, importantly, never felt like I couldn't/shouldn't be that person), and know plenty of people who vote D consistently.
I've heard this strategy referred to as "picking up pennies in front of a steamroller" - it works until the CEO is discovered to be a fraud, goes to jail, and stock loses 80% of its value in a week. Then you lose everything on a single position.

Market makers do this as a free way to cover delta risk in that direction. If you have +100 delta, selling 100 "units" (way out of the money options) is a nice way and doesn't carry any other greeks.

I've seen speculators do this, but they're playing with fire. I've seen an investor risk 9 digits to pick up $50k a minute before strike expiration, not realizing that the actual settlement is the next day (so adversarial events can still happen).
Is it? Sure, some basic code probably is. But there is much more magic happening in Python than in Java, even with Spring’s dynamic class creation and whatnot.
IM and SMS aren't public forums where people you don't know can barge in with their own take on what you just wrote, though. IRC can be, but it would be very difficult to have a grasp on every IRC conversation happening everywhere so you could respond to something you find incredulous.

Unlike Twitter, which incentivizes people carrying on infinite numbers of asynchronous conversations, and encourages people to find them by bringing up 'interesting' ones on the timeline.
I get this, but OTOH it is IMO best to distribute digital artifacts in the format that is most useful for editing or creating derivative works. This is the free software philosophy but also a societal good. Many of us learned HTML and web technologies by reading the source code of websites, and we've closed that door behind us with all of the build steps that turn our actual code into a computer-readable-only mess which we send out for consumption by normal users' browsers. It would be nice if "view source" showed you something like what the author actually wrote in their text editor.
Because it is thinly veiled as a customer-choice.

Again, not saying the outcome is different, but socially it won't be accepted, as it removes that veil.
I'm approaching 40th year on this planet, working professionally in software development for 15 years, another 10 years during my education, loved it during my uni time (non-CS faculty), loved it during my high school time. It always gave me a sense of exploration combined with feeling that I can build things I want. I still enjoy doing it :)

‘Economic Picture Ahead Is Dire,’ Elon Musk Tells Twitter Employees
I tried reverse engineering options trading and day-trading for a net $200K/year profit trading 4 days/week and 45 weeks/year. I think I determined you'd have to trade at least $60K/day and not lose. But I'm honestly not even sure I was right.
Republicans never banned abortion at the federal level.
Does cloudflare mention this anywhere?
> Alameda’s CEO is Caroline Ellison, a Stanford University graduate who like Mr. Bankman-Fried previously worked for quantitative trading firm Jane Street Capital. Alameda is based in Hong Kong, where FTX was headquartered before relocating to the Bahamas last year.

Are the folks at Jane Street making money because they are smart, or because they use that perception to perpetuate some scam?

I interact with a lot of Harvard kids. Some of them are from Long Island, they know dads who work at that Republican's hedge fund. They are smart kids. They have good cognitive gifts.

But not once - not from word of mouth, or directly from them, or someone, ever, anywhere - have I heard a common sense way these guys make money due to intelligence, instead of due to a scam or due to luck.

It is really frustrating. So much human potential wasted on chasing the dollar sign. They are in denial that it is scams.

It has always been scams. Why is this so hard to believe? Why in the absence of any positive evidence, like "oh here is our genius but nonetheless expired" trading strategy, which anyone could have furnished in the last two decades, they agree, oh it must be real?

The simple answer seems, because if you believe it to be real, you can be this specific kind of Harvard + New York + "X" kid - and seriously, they are all cut from the same jib, superficially and inside their character, it tarnishes the institution - and you can do this scam and pocket your change and eat dim sum with 20 people on the weekends and have a skinny girlfriend and buy a condo. You can do something pretty meaningless with your life in exchange for the burn out.

This scam life lets 20 year olds not hear from their horrible parents that burned them out and gave them no meaning. Eventually they turn 30 and hope that a decade went by without a crash, and then life decides for them to sell before the ponzi collapses. Like you have a baby with your skinny girlfriend and you buy the condo and great, you sell, and it happens to be well timed!

I fucking hate Jane Street, I have hated them since I've known the assholes who intern there, and I don't know why this Bankman-Fried guy got such a big pass for scamming literally millions of people, and why this Caroline girl isn't going to be sent to jail, and it's frustrating because you can actually tell! You can predict this from when these kids are 20!
Demand destruction is setting in.
Boaty McBoatface doesn't have a captain, it's a robotic autonomous underwater vehicle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boaty_McBoatface), one of three carried by the RSS Sir David Attenborough, that was initially supposed to get that name, but then... didn't.
The new logo reminds me of the Anaconda logo (https://anaconda.org/). The old logo was so much better, it displayed historical significance of the institution, it’s legacy, and the basic fact that it is related to education. The font had its own charm too. There was absolutely no need to change it. Wasteful expenditure of donations money.
