> A Lincolnshire farmer — and yes, I like the non-abstract solidly of the example — is not the optimal holder of the ‘risk’ that the Australian and Kansas wheat harvests are super-bountiful. Markets allow that risk to be transferred to a non-farmer better able to hold the risk.

Are you familiar with the arguments of (more popularly) Aaron Brown and (transitively) Jeffrey Williams?

Essentially, the idea that a farmer would be an active participant in a futures market is quaint, but the vast majority of activity is speculation. This is not a contradiction of your point, but an elaboration of a counter-intuitive part of it.

One might look at a futures market and see that well over 98 % of the activity is buying and selling by people who never have any reason to care about wheat other than for the possibility of its price going up or down. But this large-scale speculation is precisely the thing that makes it possible for a farmer to hedge (by providing liquidity and a motive for the counterpart of the hedge) or, as Williams' points out, perhaps more commonly "take out loans in commodities" for their convenience yield.

Essentially, the Lincolnshire farmer can lock in a price with a plain forward contract. However, that does take a double coincidence of demands (or whatever the phrase is) and the standardised nature of futures contracts help avoid that problem.

But! The most common use of futures contracts (aside from speculation) is not (or at least was not, when Williams wrote his book) hedging, but effectively borrowing and lending in commodities.

Every industry has cut rate companies. and every industry has high quality companies. It is battle. Sometimes the cut-rate companies are competing with other cut rate companies and it is a race to the bottom. Not sure where you are located but in my market it is just the opposite. Never give up. There is a way.Thanks for your comment.
ZFS is cow, so if it works for your load, cow doesn't seem to be the problem?

If you're willing to switch OSes, FreeBSD UFS is a more traditional filesystem, with optional snapshots (modifications to files in a snapshot have to be cow, of course)
You make the wrong assumption that managing the geological storage and all the operations around it will be irrelevant and give those 10+ generations no work.

> You can be ordered to take chemicals or medications which have not been FDA approved, and you can be put in jail for refusing.

It's sort of like that and not at the same time. Under the UCMJ, refusing a lawful order can put you in the brig, or a variety of punishments applied (NJP, loss of rank, loss of pay, etc.). Under most circumstances, forcing a service member to ingest an unknown drug is not a lawful order. Under official civilian authority you can be highly encouraged to take an untested vaccine or some such, and refusal, while not disobeying a lawful order, can end up with you receiving unpleasant treatment. (You are there under contract for a set period of time, after all, so a long period of time of unpleasant treatment can be motivation enough to do things you wouldn't normally want to do.)

I was able to avoid the anthrax vaccine around 2000 by refusing to sign a waiver. I ended up getting transferred to a new command shortly thereafter which was scheduled long before this anthrax vaccine situation, but I can't be certain that there were going to be any repercussions regardless of my decision because most of my fellow service members at that time were unwilling to be test subjects as well.

Sure. But not all venues go by the "all content that isn't illegal is acceptable" standard.

Also, how do I know content is being downvoted because it's spam and not simply unpopular.

For instance, when I say "COBOL is a better programming language than Python," or "I liked my Treo much more than any iPhone," what's to prevent people from downvoting it into oblivion?
> What is the correct tool to properly merge a large set of tar.gz files for which may have an enormous overlap of similar files, and some that have been altered just slightly?

Can you elaborate on this? My understanding is that they should all extract into the same target folder without issues because each archive's set of files is distinct. But maybe I'm just assuming wrongly?

What exactly is your goal, too? It sounds like you are trying to find and de-duplicate visually similar images? Like what do you mean by "enormous overlap" or "altered just slightly"?

Similar to self-driving cars, I think the last 1% of the way is going to be the near-insurmountable barrier that makes widespread implementation difficult or potentially impossible. For tasks where you can plausibly check the results with some kind of external software harness, or defer double-checking to a person, these models will make development quick (if resource-intensive). But any kind of fully-automated complex process where the consequences are important will be tough to hand over to black-box generators.
His point is that other technologies are not held to the same standard. And that is still true.

Even above ground nuclear storage is far better waste management then virtually anything else, including wind and solar.

The likely hood of people dying from old wind and solar projects is quite a bit higher then people dying from nuclear waste.

That assumes that you're blocked, not making progress every day. If a task typically involves a combination of data structuring, some business logic, and the UI for it, as well as any necessary API, integrations, migrations, and of course automated tests for all that, then it might take more than a couple days. Doesn't mean you're blocked. You say when you're blocked, the clock doesn't.

Once you have an NN model and you know you want to keep the model weight set, moving to an optical neural network can massively drop the energy use. Its not necessarily easy, and certain architectures may not be as amenable, but it can certainly be a path to reducing energy use.

> the vast majority of activity is speculation

Where do you draw the line between (useful) arbitrage and "pure speculation"?

Much of what is commonly known as speculation is actually an important mechanism for price quality or liquidity.

Obviously there are limits, and there are ample opportunities for making a one-sided profit without regulations, but people often seem to miss the value that arbitrageurs tangibly provide to them: Being able to exchange foreign currency at very tight spreads almost 24/7; being able to buy and sell even not commonly traded stocks etc. are often a function of that.

I didn't mean legal troubles as in from OSI,but legal troubles from a copyright holder if the source is treated as Open by a programmer.

Open software can be distributed freely. If a programmer is told it is Open, there is a chance they will unwittingly use it in a way that is not permissable under the actual license terms.

Even as an honest mistake, this can lead to serious copyright violations that some companies will not hesitate to demand payment for.

Not a US resident and certainly not a lawyer, but are armed vehicles legal in the first place? I thought weapon mounts on airplanes and drones are forbidden by FAA regulations, and BATFE rules on ground vehicles. Weapons that fire more than once per one depression of a fire button are also defined machine guns and are regulated.

Military branches including national guards are exempted from all above, but it’s generally illegal in a modern nation, even some dictatorships, for a military branch to be both an external facing defense force and an internal facing police organization at the same time by mission, as allowing it leads to unrests and coups. So handling of such vehicles and devices can’t be normally outsourced to military.

I think this is just another case of honest but uninformed people adding more and more ad-hoc and redundant laws without enforcement. Not that I oppose the spirit of this particular law though.
Sincere question from a non-scientist who struggles with the idea of how to make use of existing data without accidentally P-hacking:

Is it still P-hacking if you stumble upon a correlation in the historical record (after stumbling around for a while), call it a hypothesis, and then stick with it long though to gather a statistically significant amount of _new_ data to support it?

More broadly, are there ways to "go on a fishing expedition" that are still scientifically valid?

I like Discord well enough for the right purposes but it does make me truly sad to see so many niche communities go behind closed doors like Discord.

Discord isn't indexed or searchable by folks (or search engines) outside of the server, and even then, it's a real-time chat application that just doesn't lend itself to the type of content that makes reddit special. Discord also has investors who will want payback on their investment...so users on Discord may find themselves in the same boat some years down the line.

But people use it because the barrier to entry is so low. Even non-technical people can set up good looking and functional communities.
The big difference with the US is that there is a free press, independent judiciary, clear separation between government and corporations and democracy so there are frequent changes of government with different attitudes towards the issues you raise.

Homie's flat fee for sellers is dramatically higher than OP's, and the seller still pays a regular commission for the buyer agent (even if the buyer is using Homie as their buyer agent):

Sellers Pricing: https://homie.com/pricing#buy-sell-tabs-first

Buyers Pricing: https://homie.com/pricing#buy-sell-tabs-second

The higher fee means they can actually pay for all the costs they incur and still remain profitable. Including the buyer agent fee means that they're in a position to attract non-Homie buyer agents to the platform, so they're not trying to bootstrap a market from scratch. It also means they can give half of that portion of the fee back to the buyer as an incentive to choose Homie, whereas in OP's model there's no reason for buyers to choose them.

The first step might actually be a non-starter for most people. Notion is free, SharePoint is usually offered as a capability within a business or school's Office 365 subscription. I believe you can either subscribe yourself for $5.00 / month using this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/sharepoint/com..., or maybe you're lucky and already have an account with your school / work. If neither of these work for you, you can also sign up for the Microsoft Developer Program, which is actually pretty cool; here is a guide for setting up a SharePoint site through the developer program: https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2021/05/how-to-create-sharep...

I should take a moment to clarify that I'm not affiliated with Microsoft or any of the links I'm posting here in any way. I make a living building web sites and as mentioned above, many of them leverage SharePoint. I find it a pretty easy way to build intranet solutions for my customers.

Assuming you've got your SharePoint site created within SharePoint Online, creating a "List" is pretty simple. Here's an article from Microsoft explaining how to do so:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-list-0d3.... Think of a list as a database table. From there you can create various types of columns including "look-up" columns, which are basically joining to another table on the same site with a foreign key.

I think from there you could dive into the Power Platform, but there's so much out there, I think this would be a good start.

Germany did exactly the stupid thing they shouldn't have done. Instead of easily managing the waste above ground they threw it into a mine. You are literally making my point for me.

Burring low level nuclear waste in Asse II would have been fine. Managing the high level nuclear waste above ground would have been preferable. Germany would have saved a lot of money and trouble if they had simply managed their high level nuclear waste above ground.

PS: I'm sick of the argument that 'somebody did something stupid with nuclear waste 50 years ago therefore it disproves everything'. The reality is in terms of safety there were 1000s of things happening in the 70s that damaged far more people then some nuclear waste management. Even totally unattended Asse II death count would likely be 0 or very close to 0.

In all of nuclear history a almost vanishingly small amount of people have died from civilian nuclear waste, maybe its actually 0. And more people will actually die from building these big hole to dump nuclear waste in then would actually have died if this was was managed above ground.

Fair enough. If your license makes it "virtual Open Source" in their hands, then they can call it as such and use it as such.

And sure, while ELv2 is not an OSI open license, it's not exactly a proprietary license either. So the line here is very blurred.

Your position in this case makes sense.
>But I also sort of like the "aristocracy" term for mods. I've found roughly 50% of time I hit the front-page my posts are taken down by a mod for ulterior reasons. It can be infuriating. So I think some pushback might be warranted.

However, wouldn't that be on Reddit too? Reddit made the conscious choice to have unpaid non-employee moderators doing the frontline grunt work. Reddit could for instance have paid, trained employee mods with a standard of conduct where there would be consistency in what to expect on a Reddit sub. If some company cheaps out and looks toward getting free labor notwithstanding they're for-profit, it's not really the free labor's fault if they're not good, there's an inconsistent work product, etc as you get what you pay for, so if some company isn't even paying at all, well that's on the company for doing that...
If you track your pace hiking one thing you discover is that a non-trivial break almost never pays off (presuming you're past a certain baseline fitness level). Unless you get lost.

I recently discovered I spent days cranking out unpleasant repetitive code when I should have used a different data model that would have allowed me to write a trivial generic solution.

I suppose this is an area where no heuristic is anywhere as good as having the experience to know the right answer in your specific situation.

Does this valuation matter at all if no one actually invested at the stated value?
This is one of the more reasonable pieces I've read about this, something everyone monitoring the situation for whatever reason should be mindful of.

It never occurred to me before reading this but I probably fall into the category of examples: I almost never visited Digg, maybe a couple of times, but did regularly visit Reddit later.

The proportion of Reddit users who would even know about Digg is probably relatively small, and my sense over time is that it became increasingly part of the forgotten prehistory of Reddit for the typical user experience.

This brings up another issue, which is user age. My guess is Reddit use, if it fades, will follow some pattern where resentful or unhappy users go build something else, and that something else increasingly becomes filled with people who were too young to be part of what caused its genesis in the first place.
Is this true? I just don't know how to verify this information. What reliable sources can I read to lead to such a conclusion?
