Not the OP, but... in the abstract, 10% in a high-risk investment seems pretty reasonable? Sounds like they're young. For someone with a multidecade investing horizion, 10% is a minor fluctuation; the S&P500 is down 17% YTD.

To the OP: Why is losing 10% of your investments a pretty big blow? Almost everyone's 401K plunged by more than that this year. If you're young this won't be the last time.
I understand the problem.

>Also note this important point from that page: "If you use -ss with -c:v copy, the resulting bitstream might end up being choppy, not playable, or out of sync with the audio stream, since ffmpeg is forced to only use/split on i-frames."

> This means you need to re-encode the video, even if you want to just copy it, or risk it being choppy and out of sync. You could try just -c copy first, but if the video sucks you'll need to re-do it.

From the link.

-----

edit: if it aids understanding, I think i-frame means "interpolated frame" i.e. frame that depends on the previous and next frames.

edit2: and "-c:v copy" means don't transcode (or "recode" as you say) the video, but simply copy it.
DCA makes mathematical sense anytime you have a long-term bullish thesis (otherwise, "do not invest" is a better strategy), but have a belief that there is a short-term noise function super-imposed over the long-term uptrend and where that short-term noise function is relatively large in amplitude as compared to the expected long-term growth over the period.

DCA makes psychological sense if the concern is a FOMO on the best possible entry price. It takes the psychological pressure of finding the absolute best off the table and replaces it with a smoothed average entry price.

I think it's a more powerful psychological device (and I do tend to invest pretty much all at once when I reach a decision), but it's not entirely pointless mathematically.

Whenever you start talking about averages, you have to be careful. The average nuclear family having 2.5 kids, for example.
Author here. Yep, it's all related. My hope is that temporal programming can provide both a simple practical framework (in the form of MetroC and whatever else spins off of it) and a simple theoretical framework for future research into time-centric programming languages.
And any structure is O(1), not O(n), because C structures are not parameterized.

There is something about NodeJS culture that you get very pragmatic and easy to use libraries come out of it. There is a lot of nonsense too, but it the closest ecosystem to lego. It might be the pain of making stuff interoperable on NPM/JS leads

I believe it's not possible for third-party developers to create their own items in Control Center. The widgets in Notification Center, though, can be third-party.

Incidentally the "now playing" section of Control Center does work with apps other than Apple Music, including Spotify and all major web browsers, just like the media keys.

Even so, using OneDrive as a backing store for user documents has been integrated into Windows for a while now, and every app that uses standard file save dialogs etc ends up automatically and transparently doing that, so why should Office be special?
i am watching 1899 on netflix and it drives me mad how dark every scene is.

All old movies and series had lighted silhouettes in the night or dark scenes. Everyone knew that it means its dark but you could see what is actually going on. Its a movie not a webcam capture. We already fill in the gaps when it comes to the story, we can manage 'unnaturally' lit dark scenes

Australian MP Introduces “Loot Box Bill” into the Parliament
> The federal MP for Clark has introduced to parliament a bill focused on 'loot boxes', a video game feature where players gamble to win virtual assets, often with real money. The bill would regulate game classification, requiring all games that feature 'loot boxes' be clearly labelled and carry an R classification – 'in line with the fact that you must be 18 to legally gamble' - Andrew Wilkie.

This bill may not have the highest level of acceptance currently. But I do wonder as it goes through the motions if it will target things like secondary and tertiary in-game currencies. Or methods of obfuscating loot box acquisition.
There was a huge scandal in France not so long ago, a private hospice group abused their residents, barely taking care of them while asking thousands per months for room

It works precisely the same in every huge superpower. Absolutely nothing about this situation is unique to China.
Complicated doesn't even begin to cover it. I'm in this situation now and it's basically ruining my life. Or maybe it's ruined already, because I see no possible way out -- not even just ending the friendship.

Not only is the friendship very close, but inextricably linked with far and away my favorite activity in the world. One that has brought by far the most joy to my life, and one that I have given up a lot to pursue.

I don't even know how I could have predicted or avoided it, either. At first glance, I never would have guessed I would end up feeling any attraction to her at all. In actual fact, what I ended up with are feelings I could have never even imagined I was capable of feeling for someone (I'm 40).

The only thing I could have done differently, I'm afraid, would have been to make damn sure to never get so close to any woman at all.
Just a coincidence that this gets rolled out 9 years after Airdrop debuted.
I haven't set that up yet, though I've watched the recemt developments with interest. Another option would be to launch everything (or just Firefox) in cgroups.

Harsh, even if true. Keep in mind though, F-Droid is a woefully under-funded effort. I mean, Play Store is funded by a megacorp that brings in $500M/day in revenues.
I've seen a lot about AVX-512 and didn't know those instructions existed until just now. They're not exactly generic vector instructions. And that's a nice improvement, but is AES-NI ever slow enough to matter? The numbers I found were inconsistent but all very fast.

Probably more important, there's a 256 bit version of that instruction. You can get half of that extreme throughput without AVX-512.
Author here. We just wanted to be consistent here with other GitHub-specific headers prefixed this way. We could have had different headers with different formats or tried to change the formats of the old headers, but we figured this was the sanest way.
Agreed. That said, more often than not, as mentioned in the comment above (COVID use case), we'd look for a higher recall value in the predictions - there, NERs, although helpful, wouldn't be our go-to solution.

I would guess if they can handle real actual meat, they can handle fat and nutrients which would seemingly be the easy part. If not would it be any different than today's vegetarians which just take supplements?

> letting a cow loose in a pasture to do what it does.

Are most cows pasture raised? I think most are raised on feed farms; I think antibiotics and hormones play a role in at least some, but perhaps most? They also emit C02 which we'll eventually have to pay for. And more generally animal farming is a (the?) primary source of new diseases already. I wouldn't expect "lab" grown meat to do any worse there, but perhaps better. Still, it is something new and new always carries some risk. But

Apple don't move to China to save money, they moved to China in order to meet high demand. There was simply nowhere else that could produce the volume. And technically, Foxconn is a Taiwanese company, but that's not an important detail. Point is, only Chinese/Taiwanese contract manufacturers could give Apple the volume they needed.

I really wish you could talk to some more manufacturing types -- there are many on this site. A lot of things at scale can't be done anywhere except in China.

Now, you can argue that's just about "saving money", because Apple should have built its own automated ports and infrastructure and commodity trading hubs and paid to relocate workers to create a bespoke manufacturing center somewhere else -- but subject to realistic constraints, there was China and no second option to produce iPhones at scale.
They have lots to fear as they get a 30% cut.
One "simply" needs to launch their own app store and save millions, and aggregate other companies on their store. I can think of Epic Games as a first thought, but I am sure the list is lengthy.

Edit: P.S. Amazon is the other obvious one.
Because only China has the means to effectively backdoor it.
Everyone's getting confused about the word "reach". If the execution of a program triggers UB at any point then its behavior is undefined at all points, even before the UB was triggered. But the compiler does have to respect and preserve the behavior of any completely UB-free execution of your program, even if other executions (say with different input) could trigger UB.

So we could say, unreachable UB is fine, but if you do reach it, then it doesn't matter when you reached it.
Okay, that confirms that the downvotes are out of denial because it’s undeniably and clearly relevant as a reply to the quoted major portion of the parent comment shown below

At the end, isn’t it one entity vs others’ opinion whether they like you or not?
Author here. From the Algol viewpoint, you can think of a temporal program as one enormous statement followed by a semicolon, embedded in a while(1) loop.

Semicolon is semicolon, but in Pascal/Java you have lots of tiny semicolons and in a temporal program you have one giant semicolon. The practical implications of that are more wide-ranging than you think, and quite interesting.
It wasn't until Apple (apparently) threatened to withdraw Twitter from the app store.
Author here. Unsurprisingly, we did have a lot of internet debate about how the version should be specified (header or path or query param) and we landed on using headers. But, to be completely honest, we didn’t find super strong arguments for any option, so it was just something where we had to be opinionated.

There's a difference here in that the menus are structured in a consistent way - you can explore everything easily just by opening submenus.

But you can't really "try out all the gestures", because the gestures themselves are largely ad hoc, and new ones get invented all the time. If you know in advance that e.g. three-finger swipe or swiping from beyond the edge of the screen are valid gestures, you can try them to see what they do; but how do you know that in advance, unless you have used (or at least heard of) a device utilizing some particular gesture?

No, it didn't work. SARS-CoV basically burned itself out. MERS is still around (carried by camels) and infects humans occasionally. In both of those, the public health measures had very little effect.
Yes, it's both. Thankfully I'm in a completely different timezone, so have reasonable grounds to not be in every meeting or available between specific big blocks of time. I have no interest though in trying to reduce my own motivation toward the work, so I simply said more this amount of meetings will reduce my productivity. I'm ok with how things are, but anything additional will displace other work from my day.
We need a bit if everything. Hedged bets. There is no world authority that can force every country to change unfortunately. The best bet is technology making it in countries interests to move to greener ways of producing power, and at a consumer level saving people money is usually a winner form changing habits.
Regarding low latency, one of the reasons FF OS failed it was laggy on 2014-era mobile web APIs and device hardware. That's definitely not the case today.

But it isn't. Or it shouldn't be. Apple is a corporation, and as long as the corporation is an American corporation, the corporation should be regulated for the benefit of the citizens of America. (insert laugh track here)
> Maybe you shouldn’t fight every battle, but he fights none.

All we know is what has been reported.

It would seem improbable what a multi trillion dollar company with it's manufacturing base in China wouldn't be dealing and negotiating with the Chinese authorities as part of day to day operations.

To say Tim Cook fights no battles seems unlikely. We cannot make that statement because the reality is that we just don't know what goes on behind closed doors!

Snapchat ushered in the era of undiscoverable UIs. There were other apps that did that, but Snapchat was the most prominent.

Snapchat introduced the idea that holding down the shutter button in photo capture mode should be capturing a video. Unlike any other camera apps on mobile where video capture is a separate mode readily seen in the UI, Snapchat made it undiscoverable.

Snapchat also pioneered the idea that double tapping the viewfinder should switch cameras at a time when almost all other camera apps had dedicated buttons for doing that. Again that's undiscoverable.
Fair - although all of my app store purchases are with large companies so im essentially still paying 40% more than what the company is receiving directly. I'm not a developer, just a consumer.

It is also my understanding the cut they insist on taking on e-books and audio and movies etc. makes it impossible to sell those at all in the app. I guess that strictly makes the in-app experiences on the iPhone more secure, though still pushes it out.
Yeah, this is pretty much what I'm hoping for on Mastodon. On Twitter I would occasionally turn on the "home screen" instead of the "latest" feed to see what's going on in a larger world. Including such a facility (or even multiple alternate implementations of such a facility) would be nice in mastodon.

The other part of the post - the abuse? That part is harder. Fundamentally, commercial social networks spend a crapload of money and traumatize working-class moderators all over the world trying to keep spammers, scammers, illegal pornography, hatespeech, and worse off their platforms. I don't know how sustainable it is for hobbyists to implement that.

Realistically, I'm expecting that if Mastodon truly takes off, it will gradually bifurcate:
1) Free instances that are hives of scum and villainy
2) Paid instances that are well-moderated and pleasant

Fortunately, Mastodon servers have the ability to federate with other servers in a "second class citizen" sort of way, so members of group 2 will be able to follow people on group 1, but the mayhem of free instances will be purely opt-in on a per-user basis.

I mean Mastodon has a lot of problems. Its tech stack is a nightmare to admin, and it is notoriously wastefully chatty when it comes to server-to-server messaging. But those faults can be fixed.

The social problem is much harder.
> There’s a profound amount of environmental impact beyond the gas pump, and most of it comes from building and shipping all the parts to assemble the automobile over and over again. The manufacturing process is profoundly environmentally destructive, so vehicles that have a longer service life (Land Cruiser is 2-2.5 times the average) have a role to play.

This isn't really true. The manufacturing is intensive but not nearly as intensive as setting fire to 1/4 gallon of gas every mile.

This impact is also significantly lower for gas cars than electric, which achieve parity around 15,000 driven miles.

There is an obvious inherent trade-off of a longer service life: you don't get efficiency improvements for 25 years.

[edit] Studies show an average gas car produces about 5.6t of CO2e in manufacture, an electric car about 8.8t of CO2e. For the gasoline car that's equivalent to burning ~600 gallons of gasoline and for the electric, ~1000 gallons.

An average car is driven 12500mi per year, and look if you're getting 10mpg, that's 6 months. How about the other 24 years 6 months? Buying a car that's 10% more efficient breaks even after what, a couple of years? [1]

If you care about the environment, take a train. Caltrain gets 100 passenger-miles per gallon average on their diesel engines and those train cars are older than I am. Once they move to electric, it should be 250-ish pax-mi/gal-equivalent based on Bart. Although I suspect probably a lot more due to the longer runs between stations.

>> The Gotham Gal and I buy and build a fair bit of real estate on the side

This is not Fred Wilson's fault, and I don't target Fred for it - it is the fault of society in general, but I hate it that people "buy and build a fair bit of real estate on the side".

I'm assuming he means residential.

Rich people have no idea how it feels to be a renter when you want to own, but prices have been driven out of th bounds of possibility by people who can afford to "buy and build a fair bit of real estate on the side ".

It's awful that society has divided into landlords and renters.

And landlords/rich people really have no empathy - they're in their own lives and feeling good about how many houses they own.

Government and society in general has completely failed by allowed housing to become a financial instrument instead of a modest/normal capitalist market as it was in the 1970s.

In any such discussion you'll notice those who attack this line of thinking are ALWAYS house owners .... ALWAYS. These are the people who feel that any regulated fairness in housing is communism - that's because they are on the happy side of the housing equation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Dream

"The Australian Dream or Great Australian Dream is, in its narrowest sense, a belief that in Australia, home ownership can lead to a better life and is an expression of success and security. The term is derived from the American Dream, which first described the same phenomenon in the United States, starting in the 1940s."

Owning a house used to be "the great Australian (American) dream". And now it's not. Now it's what rich people do many times over in a giant game of monopoly.
