Yes, the article expands on simplifications used in economics textbooks as an illustration of how leverage can works. But none of this is "new understanding" of the fractional reserve system operates in practice, least of all to the Bank of England that oversees its operation.

> Banks first decide how much to lend depending on the profitable lending opportunities available to them which is determined by time horizons and risk appetite much more than central bank interest rates

Hardly "much more", the delta between the rate the bank offers and the central bank rate is the bank's profit, adjusted over a timescale as a net present value calculation and reduced by expected losses. More importantly, it's also the cost of the loan to the person or company deciding on whether borrow or not, so when banks bump their loan rates up in response to a raise in the central bank rate, fewer people wish to borrow and so the bank has fewer profitable opportunities to lend. Time horizons and risk appetite just give banks and companies reason to turn down probably profitable/beneficial loans that are outside their comfort zone. And how does a central bank respond to the banks collectively reducing their risk appetites? It lowers the interest rates....

> Government lending (government as a VC) however has much longer time horizons

Ultimately I'd rather have market as VC (government can participate as well) than government as the only VC...
Disclaimer: I work at Stripe in Ireland.

This article is completely misleading.

In Ireland, if you leave your employment before the 2 year mark, you can lose your employers' contributions. Not the ones you have voluntarily put in.

This is pretty standard here (at least as far as tech companies go). It's literally written in the freaking contract.

It sucks, but we all read our contracts when we signed.

The reason I can see an employer doing this is to serve as a retention mechanism. But it obviously doesn't work when people get laid off.
With a third party client Twitter can’t (easily?) measure if an ad was actually seen by the end user (impression) or if it was just served by the API but never rendered on the users screen. A lot of ad measurement follows from there.
It is interesting since Beej's guide is probably the most famous C/Unix programming tutorial after K&R.
If you can download it from arxiv, it is published. Researchers don’t really care whether the paper went through formal peer review and publication process in some journal, because that process is of little value: they can figure out that the author meant rank instead of rand etc.
Whatever you decide to do, please don't screw over your actual paying customers with hostile and unfriendly DRM as a reaction. Nothing would make me drop a paid software quicker.
The more you dig into it too, the more it seems that treatments we have are actually far inferior to what common perceptions would imply. Chemotherapy certainly saves some people for example, but meta analyses of cancer treatments show that on average… They dramatically reduce quality of life for shockingly low extensions of life.

Again, chemotherapy really could save someone and extend their life by decades. In theory. But the average, not individual outcome is gut-wrenchingly dreary.

Coupled with how expensive these treatments are, it seems like our common perceptions should be much different. But this is very subjective and dependent on one’s wealth and interests.

Speed of light is a hard physical limit. Local storage will always have a major edge for this reason alone.

That said I'm now in this weird mid-life confusion about the fact that my new WAN (3gbps fiber connection) is now faster than any reasonable home LAN I can set up. Needed to move some movies from one machine to another the other day and it was way faster to just bittorrent them again from upstream than actually copy, since even USB removable media was slower than my WAN. So I think we might be at least temporarily in an awkward situation where cloud storage outcompetes LAN storage.

But truly local storage (nVME etc) has an extreme edge over anything networked, and always will.
Yikes, that seems pretty horrendous law. In the the UK the tax exempt status comes from the fact you're locking away the income for, say, decades; and you'll be liable to normal income tax at the point of withdrawal.

It's designed to encourage people to save money into their pensions, to make up for decades of the government underfunding social security pensions. It seems really shitty to make that tax break conditional on job security.
Yeah I guess you’re right here. It’s more like they both go beyond ignoring the real world and just say whatever nonsense they feel like. Then they have a bunch of simps who won’t even question it.
The reason we had a standardized 55 mph speed limit and 21 as the drinking age was via federal interstate highway funding being made contingent on those things.

It's the original, which is being compiled on our internal protobuf definitions in a different repository and then installed post compile as an npm module.

I spent a while trying to grok the TS error but started to suspect that it didn't make a lot of sense, so I rm -rf node_modules, reinstalled, and it went away.

It would be hard to figure out what was at fault, but it's probably a combination of the node module system, protobuf, ProtobufJS and TypeScript. I do sometimes get funny type errors and restarting TypeScript makes them go away, in this case I had to go a step further.

I'll let you know if I get this again, or figure out what happened.
Depending on how you define "detained under post 9/11 foreign policy", it could include people the US imprisoned in countries where there were wars like Iraq and Afghanistan, countries where the US worked with local authoritarian governments to lock up "religious fundamentalists", etc, and my guess is it's a lot higher than 50K.

When non-mathematicians ask me to tell them something interesting about math, I show them the lambda calculus. It's straightforward and there's a kind of narrative involved when talking about reduction. Then it's fun to blow their minds with how this simple rewriting process can be used to implement anything that a computer can do.
People never learn.
> If shuffling, look up a real algo (like Fisher-Yates for instance) and implement that. Or better yet, use a library implementation.

If using a library implementation, you do still need to validate that it's using a proper algorithm. And that it doesn't change to something else during an update. Which probably requires you to understand the algorithm, and looking at wikipedia, it's a handful of lines of code to do it right and know that it doesn't change because it's your code. Maybe not worth the time to inspect and reinspect from a library.
I think the idea was to avoid excavating all the ground in the middle. You just cut around the circumference of the piston and along the bottom. The thing I never could understand was how they’d seal the walls of the cylinder against the bore so that water doesn’t fill that space and gush right out the top!

I would tend to agree. The only people I saw really struggle with learning Fourier series and the Fourier transform were people who had struggled with more basic concepts and failed to internalize them. This kind of explanation might be helpful to build someone's intuition up a bit but is not a substitute for a proper education on the subject and definitely not some magic key to understanding.

But anyone this paranoid will obviously build from source? Most OSS users don't build from source because they don't care to look in their internet packets for viruses.

BTW, it is not that hard either. You can even have multiple Linux kernels installed at the same time. Same with Android ROMs, just checkout the code, build it and flash using ADB. It is about as difficult as dual booting Windows and Ubuntu.
Regrettably, due to USA's brand of capitalism, these days, the word pension means it's probably not a USA thing.
I wish my university courses had started with the intuition behind and utility of the functions we were about to learn. Be it linear algebra, differential equations or Fourier transforms.

No more hostile than real world, we are just finding out it is a reflection of our world, of course the difference being the global interconnectedness which magnifies the celebrities but also the crooks.
This seems like a fairly obvious move, reduce production cost through vertical integration. Hopefully it translates to better content, and opening up to new talent. Only a few years ago Netflix was notorious for being the place where new talent could get a production made, but increasingly they have moved to just churning out content made by their established partners.

I wander how long it will be until they open a theme park, "Netflix World"...

I think this is roughly where the lot is:

I caught Windows Defender "automatic sample submission" silently uploading places.sqlite out of my Firefox directory despite the assurance in the control panel that "We'll prompt you if the file we need is likely to contain personal information".

Well as the OP on this one, I contemplated changing the headline (which was too long in any case)... but in other circumstances we get in trouble with a community for changing a headline to opine.

This is normal in the USA as well. Most traditional (non-FAANG-adjacent) companies have 1-6 year vesting periods for employer contributions.
They do support OpenCL. You only need their closed source user space library libamdocl*.so and libamd_comgr.so to use it.
I agree. Way back when I learned the FT, I happened to be taking a signals and statistics class in the same semester and rationalizing the Fourier transform as the correlation between a function and a sinusoid was an incredibly natural mental leap and didn’t require me to hold much additional knowledge in my head
Disney's Sleeping Beauty (1959) was not for kids.

Sleeping Beauty is a cartoon adaptation of an opera. Its extremely boring for kids to watch, but its pretty great for adults. Arguably its "kid friendly", but only in the same way that the Nutcracker is kid-friendly. Its not really the kind of entertainment aimed at children though (like say, Peter Pan was).

---------

Fantasia is also for adults IMO, though kid-friendly (no excessive violence/gore/sex... but a relatively dry musical performance though highly imaginative)

---------

And Looney Tunes is also filled to the brim with opera / stage references that no child could possibly understand. It was clearly aimed at adults. It does leverage lowbrow humor just in case the audience doesn't "get" the musical / stage references... so I guess its more kid friendly than these other examples.

Amen to that. I've seen a lot of bad takes by people on here who support politicians on either side of the aisle.

To be fair, Pixels (and all modern Android phones by my understanding) use some kind of trusted execution environment. So if you have a Pixel 6 or later you're using Trusty to perform some trusted actions, which is not Linux and gets some of its own SoC die space.

> I would be surprised if there even is a mainstream ICE car available in 2035.

I'd be happy to bet on that!

There's no state in the US where electric cars are a majority of what are sold today, with the highest fraction being CA at 18%. [1]. Naive extrapolation gives you 57% of CA in 2030 and 30% of US. [2] The combination of "some people are going to still prefer gas cars" and "those people are concentrated in some states" means I'd expect many ICE options available in 2035.

I always wondered why people choose to make these "I no longer use X and now I am happier" kind of posts, where X could be a number of things including Twitter, as opposed to quietly fading away. For people who were happy with X, these posts just sound like sour grapes[1].

Hence why there is no need to throw more money into education. If there are better interventions, then simply have the educational institutions redirect the extra money we are already giving towards things that actually work.

That said, there has been much research on educational interventions, and little (if any) of it shows meaningful long term impact.

Let me rephrase it in words that I have more intuitive grasp of and see if the translation holds. A monad is a way to pick out the specific constraints of interest and define a class of computations that satisfy those constraints, and how computations within this class compose.

Are the constraints limited to return values or can there be other kinds of constraints?

I wonder if/how they’ll attract people to live there: Monmouth is very close to NYC (under 20 miles from lower Manhattan by boat), but the only transit is NJT. I’m not sure if there’s ever been plans to add ferry service to the area.

"Published" in this context is short for "published to a journal" or more completely for this thread "gone through the full edit cycle you would expect from a paper published to a journal".

For example, https://arxiv.org/help/jref says:

> When a article is published, the author may wish to indicate this in the abstract listing for the article. For this reason, the journal reference and DOI (Digital Object Identifier) fields are provided for articles.

This can only make sense if "public abstract on arxiv" is not the same as "published" in the way you mean.
