I think the key here is that SolarWinds' C-staff deliberately downplayed the severity of the attack, and were very late in informing customers and regulatory agencies of the severity of the attack.

I.e. they are being prosecuted not because they were "incompetent and got hacked", but that they then "tried to cover it up", which is where the SEC comes in (illegal stock manipulation via false or incomplete release of public information).
"All the electronics of the Liberty Phone are made in our USA facility, and the entire phone is assembled at that same facility, using the same manufacturing process we used for the Librem 5 devkits in 2018 and Librem Key that has the Made in the USA label started in 2019."

Sometimes the numbers are staggering because society is deeply in denial.

Twitter has never been a great solution on its own. It could have contributed along with other channels of communication, so you should already have these.

I would have thought "first off" came from "first of all". I.e. of all the points I'm about to make, this is the first.
Yes but not with Go.

I read like 5 or so books about trading, mostly the classic ones, and tried to toy around with backtracking some self-made strategies using MetaTrader: https://www.metatrader4.com/en/trading-platform

First week was funny. I kept thinking I found goldmines with fine-tunned stochastic lagging indicators, only to realize that I overfitted and an algo that made me rich when tested against a certain period of time would make me go broke when applied to another period.

I tried applying some defense against local maximum, but to no avail.

Best I could do is tie after paying exchange fees. And that took me endless weekends toying around with code, reading books and articles.

My hunch is that algos that don't rely on external signals (i.e. news) need extreme technical edge like High Frequency Trading have with their ultra low latency and premium exchange data feeds.

And I wasn't ready to dive into news sentiment analysis and other external indicators.
In all honesty, I think you're hearing the wrong thing when you hear what the fat acceptance-people are saying.

Given the context that:

- Dieting, on a population level, has proven to be an ineffective means of curbing obesity (the only statistically effective method is bariatric surgery)

- The message that has, throughout the obesity epidemic, been pushed is that those that suffer from obesity are to blame for their own condition, and that they are essentially less valuable human beings for it in more than a few ways

- Obesity appears to be, according to the best research currently available, a disorder of the brain

Most of the fat acceptance people are merely trying to counteract the less valuable-part of how obese people are viewed in society. It's not a single-messaged group, and some of the things that some of them say is probably not a force for the better, but the message that obese people should not be scolded, chastised or in any other way treated negatively for their condition is actually a good message which any empathetic adult should follow.
"All the electronics of the Liberty Phone are made in our USA facility"

Wait, do they have a fab now?

No, seriously, I would never spend that money for a phone, not even if it was assembled by nude virgins and the nude virgins themselves were included in the package, but aside that, I totally would want to believe that claim (which would be huge if true) but I first want to see their fab.
lol this should be such an uncontroversial take but you are getting downvoted so hard. I only hope they are downvoting so much because they are bored by the take that everyone already understands and agrees with it.
> they'd be the ones liable for not taking a clear imminent threat to life seriously

Cops aren't liable for shit.

We have real evidence of cops doing fuck all to "save the lives of children" or take "a clear imminent threat to life seriously" just last year in response to a much more credible threat in Uvalde.
PDF spec itself give bit more context:

In PDF versions earlier than PDF 1.6, the size of the default user space
unit is fixed at 1 ⁄ 72 inch. In Acrobat viewers earlier than version 4.0, the
minimum allowed page size is 72 by 72 units in default user space (1 by 1
inch); the maximum is 3240 by 3240 units (45 by 45 inches). In Acrobat
versions 5.0 and later, the minimum allowed page size is 3 by 3 units (ap-
proximately 0.04 by 0.04 inch); the maximum is 14,400 by 14,400 units
(200 by 200 inches).

Beginning with PDF 1.6, the size of the default user space unit may be set
with the UserUnit entry of the page dictionary. Acrobat 7.0 supports a
maximum UserUnit value of 75,000, which gives a maximum page dimen-
sion of 15,000,000 inches (14,400 * 75,000 * 1 ⁄ 72). The minimum
UserUnit value is 1.0 (the default).

15 million inches happens to be exactly 381 km

There might be a couple sides to the story if one was to view from a less emotional perspective. People who genuinely enjoy reading the site, but value their privacy have a good argument because now they've been denied their rights. On the other hand, there's always been a serious problem with bots scraping the site, which drives up costs. Another consideration is that they're trying to make the company profitable and sign-ins is a measurable metric for advertising and possibly being able to weed out some bad actors. Whether that will work out the way they intend remains to be seen.
So is metric

If anything, nature is healing. I’ve noticed at least 1 community return to forums due to all of this (https://mholdschool.com/), and while unfortunately AFAIK there isn’t any good FLOSS software for it, it’s certainly a start.
I believe that biodiversity is worse off today than it was before and you don't have to prove that to me.

I reject the premise that biodiversity is something we require to successfully live on Earth.

> We're just as natural as everything else on the Earth and I think it's weird to place ourselves outside the scope of nature or what's natural because we're more intelligent than everything else.

In other words: if we killed everything we don't raise ourselves and we're the only living things in the world that have freedom it would still be natural and we will still be part of nature. Humans don't transcend nature or what's natural.
I’m a practitioner and no, the costs to retail traders is included and analyzed.

The most vocal critics of HFT are very often previously practitioners who are upset when their strategies and models becomes obsolete are are outwitted by even more efficient operators.

Give any example of where you are going?

I will say RegNMS and NBBO regulations are actually preventing even further efficiencies. Dark pools and off exchange matching or internalization are complex topic that are easy to misunderstand. There are absolutely bad actors to be found in the system. This is true in any system. But on aggregate the system is continuously reducing costs and improving efficiency.

Intermediation costs are a friction on the real economy and capital markets and they will always exist, but on aggregate they are dropping for all users, institutional and retail.

In regards to party line, it’s absurd, you can simply take the aggregate income, not profits, of all the top HFT operators, their income is their counterparties costs, and when attributed per market, this number is continuously dropping on aggregate. If you look at an individual firm, you can see it’s income growing, however that will come from 2 dimensions, either expanding their operations to other markets, or taking share from a competitor. However if you sum all profits across all HFT operators on a single market complex, say US equities, on longer economic timescales, this number is continuously dropping. Obviously during periods of market volatility this number can increase, but the trend over years, will be always downward.

HFT is a absolutely brutally competitive industry.

I’d be interested in what you saw working on such systems seem “wrong” or “unfair”. My guess is you don’t understand that all is fair in war and that includes HFT, as long as it is legal.

I can't wait for the verge articles waxing poetic about the untilled fields of pre-ai content.
This is true. And it's really not talked about enough.

And when you do talk about it, little beetles crawl out of the woodwork to tell you that ackshully, lots of people get help from SSRIs and you need to stop shaming them and scaring them.

So let's never mention the suicidal ideation, the tardive dyskinesia, the massive weight gain and metabolic destruction; because the psychiatrists "believe" in the SSRIs (though we don't even have a great theory how they work, or strong data that they do).

But oh, those scary mushrooms - don't you know you might have a bad trip and see stuff that isn't there; like in a dream or at a movie - oooh, spoooky.
HN doesn’t really have a business model so I’m not sure how much it can be corrupted. I guess if YCombinator ever gets tired of paying the bills , but I’d imagine having a majority(?) of startup/tech employees visit your site almost daily is quite good for them in indirect ways
I love 3Blue1Brown! So good!
Not really. Blue Sky is the most promising replacement I've seen, but it's just another for profit company, so it will follow the same pattern eventually. I think an official government Mastodon or similar would work, but it really needs to be something hosted by a competent IT dept (meaning federal, in the US), with strict and well considered policies (who gets an account on it?) and with massive buy-in at all levels of government. So... no. Not really.
A lot of local governments (public transit, police, fire department) use Twitter to provide service updates and even critical information when there's some kind of local emergency. I hope they're migrating off already but I kinda doubt it.
> but you can't create "zero trust" societies

Ofcourse you can, Russia is a zwr9 trust society. Thats why you cant organise even 3 people to protest without being afraid that someome will rat you outm

Although you could argue its not a society any more.

Android really shat on, set fire to and salted one of my favourite things about Linux in this regard. I.e, how few resources I can give it and still be productive. Hell, I'm gonna assert right now that if Android didn't waste such gobs of memory, I could still be doing the... oh, about 4 or 5 things a phone is actually useful for, on hardware equivalent to the SGS1.

I know, because I did all those things on the SGS1 and it worked fine.

Seriously, what the fuck happened?
Do you believe the study published by the ADL is a correct representation of reality?
Atom is not a magnitude more complex or strict. It has _two_ places where it requires something even slightly onerous, and that's in the summary and content elements, where, shockingly, it allows you to specify if the content is XHTML, HTML, or text, and for HTML, it's just a matter of escaping the contents or putting it in CDATA. That's it.

I don't know what you're doing that RSS 2.0 is somehow faster to parse than Atom. I've written parsers for both over the past twenty years with a negligible difference between the two besides the fact that the RSS feeds often need hacks. I've also wrote a whole bunch of blog and linkblog backends that produce Atom feeds, and have never and issue with any. Let's look at the required elements of an entry: updated, title, id. Nothing remotely onerous there. In fact, it's purposely minimal, more minimal than RSS. And in RSS 2.0, title is a required element (because if something it's explicitly noted as optional in the RSS 2.0 spec, it's assumed to be optional).

In my personal linklog, I use the title of the target page of the link as the title, because it's the sensible option. With tweets, you have half a point. Only half a point, because title is required, but Twitter also post-dates the early 2000s considerably. But here's the thing: 'title' is required in RSS and Atom, but there's nothing saying it can't be empty. I know, I've blown your mind!

And then there's JSONFeed, which, of course, can somehow gracefully cope with people dropping '"' in random parts of the file because people generate JSON files like that by hand, right?

Right?

Just like they write RSS and Atom feeds, right?

Right?
I just used what my (Linux) distribution packaged for me. I’d think it would be easy to build from source, on Linux at least.
I had JUST started using Nitter’s RSS feeds. And it was so comfy avoiding all of the “algorithm” too.

Where are these other communities? I can’t find them. And no, I don’t count Discord as an acceptable replacement. Googling for old-school forums has been pretty fruitless for me thus far as Google is basically useless without appending site:reddit.com these days (the supreme irony of that…)

LLVM is not a language, it’s a C++ library. There also happens to be a printer and parser for a textual representation of the IR, but it’s far from complete and doesn’t let you do many things the C++ allows.

The downside is that your frontend pretty much has to be written in C++ (or you maintain your own bridging wrapper library like Rust does).

For a hobby project, go with whatever is easiest. If you’re a C++ programmer and don’t mind writing your frontend in C++, take a look at LLVM. Writing an interpreter is also a valid choice. You can still learn a lot about compiler design by targeting a suitable bytecode format instead of a real CPU.

Production compilers these days either target the LLVM C++ API or have their own code generation backend.

I'm going to repeat myself with my response. If people want to democratically remove democracy, then they can. If they want to make murder not a crime, they can. If they want to remove everyone's rights, they can. There are democratic mechanisms that can achieve all these idiotic things if the people really want to achieve them. Revoking these rights is made difficult on purpose because, over a period of 50+ years, the majority of people have decided that we shouldn't revoke said rights if only 50.001% of people wish to do so over a timeframe of 1 day. They built mechanisms to make very sure that it really was the will of the people if said rights were to be permanently revoked.
The people who struggle to pay back student loans aren't the upper middle class borrowers, and there's plenty of middle class and even lower class students (trying to do that whole american dream thing) who are saddled with debt.

Yeah here's the breakdown, this is the mean amount of debt held per household by income percentile, with 25-40 years old broken out as an age category:

Income Percentile (%) All Households -Age 25-40 Households
0-9.9 $3,633.61 $9,656.34
10-19.9 $3,285.49 $8,245.48
20-29.9 $6,035.88 $11,804.46
30-39.9 $7,401.99 $12,059.02
40-49.9 $9,796.45 $20,744.43
50-59.9 $9,814.08 $16,905.26
60-69.9 $11,750.67 $28,708.72
70-79.9 $13,999.30 $27,615.90
80-89.9 $13,887.24 $27,382.43
90-94.9 $9,727.94 $18,273.48
95-98.9 $4,655.90 $11,178.10
99-100 $3,156.78 $62,532.52

Here's the breakdown of the percentage of households that have student loans:

Income Percentile (%) Percentage with Student Loans Percentage of 25-40 with Student Loans
0-9.9 14.0% 26.6%
10-19.9 13.7% 30.6%
20-29.9 17.4% 36.3%
30-39.9 19.8% 32.2%
40-49.9 24.8% 49.1%
50-59.9 25.7% 45.2%
60-69.9 24.0% 49.2%
70-79.9 29.9% 47.3%
80-89.9 27.0% 44.9%
90-94.9 24.5% 34.2%
95-98.9 10.7% 18.1%
99-100 8.2% 45.0%

I'd say those distributions show a pretty broadly "middle-class" millennial issue, with a lot of overlap.

Ya but I mean the potential of psychedelics today is their use in controlled therapeutic settings, so it’s not a shit take. Every aspect I pointed out from this article runs directly counter to the goals of establishing psychedelic therapies: that those therapies be guided, prepared, and dosed by body weight.

> merely raising awareness

This is so dumb it hurts, have we not been living in a war on drugs since the 1960’s, whose awareness is being raised, “drugs are bad mmkay”

And that pulls back around to my point. We’ve been living in an anti-drug context for so long, both the emerging markets and the mental health benefits are not served by anecdotal accounts of idiots not looking before they leap.
Because they are really only $300 after finding them on sale or as a carrier promotion to switch and a trade in.
Presumably because it is such an outlier. Similar in a sense to nuclear, where disasters are often either catastrophic or nonissues.
This is what really bothers me. That the state of the web is training people to put up with a new layer of imposition and rudeness in their lives. To see it as inevitable. We must vote with our feet.

Couple of side notes that are very interesting:

Palo Alto detected the SolarWinds problem early, but failed to notify the Cyber Threat Alliance which it spearheaded, significantly exacerbating the impact:

The PE firm that basically ran SolarWinds into the ground (Thoma Bravo) bought Proofpoint in 2021, not too long after the debacle became public.

The display in the Steam Deck supports VRR, and the in-game overlay lets you adjust the framerate cap on the fly. 40 FPS is a very popular compromise on it.

The problem with battery life is that any gains made by more efficient chips will be eaten up by more demanding games, especially as developers start dropping support for last gen consoles. But you can play plenty of older games for hours on end with current hardware.
I caught the algotrading bug recently and I've been wanting to backtest a couple of strategies involving ETFs. Right now I'm only looking at the open, close, daily high/low. The problem however is that you have to account for dividends and splits, which I'm not sure how to do (Admittedly, I haven't looked too deeply into it). Any advice on how to do that? Let's say I want to backtest some strategy involving UPRO; would I be fine just using yahoo finance historical prices as is, or would I have to manipulate it in some way? Also, what would be the ideal backtesting software/service to use?

They do a better job arguing about the threat of corporations than AIs. I agree there is a "race to the bottom" with news feeds, but that would happen regardless of any use of AI. Even manual curation would work. The companies that successfully addict consumers will presumably outcompete their peers in the marketplace.

People worried about the addictive nature of television previously, and if you look at the hours watched, it was a valid concern.

I still have a few accounts I glance at from time to time. Hockey, Game Devs, Artists, etc. who haven't migrated away despite everything, so this is kinda obnoxious.
I created some Redirector (https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/) rules to redirect Tweet and Twitter Profile URLs to their HTML embed equivalents.

Should be able to just import the rules and it seems to work alright with some caveats.

* I have no idea if this will continue to function.
* I've only tested some random links from my Discord and Slack groups.
* Profile links only show the most recent 20 tweets.
* Tweets will show quote-tweets, but no replies (though maybe that's a good thing).
* Obviously won't work for mobile.

Rules are at https://gist.github.com/robotblake/a0f020381c1a919cf9720f9ae...

No amount of financial cost is sufficient for these kinds of things if you wish to truly prevent them in the future. There needs to be associated criminal charges for the individuals responsible. We are all still suffering from the Equifax breach all these years later and it won't be long before another Enron shows itself and that is simply because there was never any real consequences for the people primarily responsible.
