Yes. Although you should never trade on TA alone, it should be a signal that you trade based on your risk analysis of the situation. TA of index etfs today is saying a buy or sell signal is imminent but risk is still weighted to the downside so I’m staying conservative until the market makes a decision.

That said back in 2018 there were no less than 3 cup and handle indicators on SPY at almost every timeframe. I yolo’d the biggest gain ever because the TA was saying heavy buy and the risk was very low (bought long dated ITM calls with a strict exit date)
I wish we could read exactly what was said. It might be something reasonable for a professional to say, or it might be way out of line.

Until we know, I don't think we can say if this is an attack on free speech or not.
Another thing that one can also be reasonably sure, is when when things stop working ( for the ones where it was working for a time, and they were talking about it), is that they are going to be very quite about it.
China will dump a bunch of money into this. The project wont be completed because of corruption. The original leaders responsible for signing the deal will disappear to live in their mansions. The countries will still owe China and one day it will collect in a big way, at the end of a gun called forced economic collapse. China is going to own Africa.
Memory is not cheap in the cloud nor is bandwidth, so optimizing for image/container size is quite cost effective.

Also every headache I've had with musl libc is because glibc is insane, not because there is a problem with musl. It should be trivial to swap out your standard library, as that is the entire point of dynamic loading. Yet you cannot actually swap out the dynamic library that nearly every program on your system will need, because it's not actually a library.
Internet connected devices absolutely need active maintenance. Especially so for a device which will be used by children.
That was my first reaction too, but on second thought it could be quite useful for spotting one's topics of interest on a page. I often do a cursory scan of the HN front page for discussions which might interest me, for example, and I bet I often miss stuff. It could make it less likely for me to miss comments of interest, too. If this is would be a plugin which could be turned on or off per site, I'd use it.
I don’t have a target audience. I’m just telling you the way it works. As far as I can tell the only place in the US that government is actually threatening private companies over their speech is Florida.
In cases like the one in TFA, its a little difficult to follow "innocent until proven guilty" because both parties are claiming the other is guilty of something actionable. If the accusations are mild or the consequences are minor, then just restraining orders etc. can do the trick. But if I'm claiming that my partner is endangering our kids or my life, and my partner is alleging the same, or even just that I'm lying, "innocent until proven guilty" is non-trivial to adopt.

Looking around on Google, I see that each child in Oakland has a cost of around >10k/year of education (https://educationdata.org/public-education-spending-statisti...). These Chromebooks cost $200, so $50/year with 4 year lifespan. This is <0.5% of yearly education costs. Definitely not the biggest source of waste.

It's a thermodynamic argument. Suppose you have a system of n bits each in an arbitrary state, so it has 2^n microstates. You set one bit to 0, regardless of what it was originally. It now has 2^(n-1) microstates. Finding entropy S for a given number of microstates N, S = k_b ln N, and so dS = k_b * (ln 2^(n-1) - ln 2^n) = k_b * ln 2 * (n - 1 - n) = -k_b ln 2, i.e. entropy has decreased by a constant amount. But by the second law of thermodynamics, entropy cannot decrease in a closed system, and the way it's dissipated is as heat. How much heat has been released? dE = T*dS, so dE >= k_b * ln 2 * T. Note the dependence on temperature: you can reduce how much heat is released by having it operate at a lower temperature. Even at room temperature, however, this is a billion times less than existing heat dissipation, so there's lots of room for improvement before we start hitting the Landauer limit.

This can be worked around by introducing ancilla bits to maintain the number of states in the system, but the instant you destroy the ancilla bits (e.g. by feeding them back to the power source), you dissipate energy. The exact mechanics of this would depend on the implementation of the device you're talking about, but you'd inevitably encounter it and be unable to overcome it.
Do you know if you can track which network (domain network like corporate network) the users are from. This was a cool feature which was in Google Analytics but in GA4 is gone and we're looking for alternatives.
Usenet as the principle locus of online group discussion phased out ... within a few years of the Eternal September. I'd argue that the shine was clearly off somewhere in the 1997--1999 timeline, which is roughly when the first discussion sites such as Slashdot emerged.

Transitions aren't instantaneous, and aren't always clearly visible at the time. (Look at, say, the present ... evolution ... of Birdsite, The Front Page of the Internet, and the StackExchange empire.) But in retrospect inflection points become more clear.

(This is pretty much a constant in all of history, with eras, transitions, and labeling of these coming years, occasionally centuries, after the events themselves.)

The Eternal September was one of a growing onslaught of insults to Usenet which it ultimately succumbed to. Not instantly, but in time, and inevitably.
So just cohering some thoughts here

Imagine I am Twitter / Instragram and want to be sure that User X is the human owner of the account and just posted a brilliant comment / photo. Or a bank wanting to be sure to move money to a new account.

I can use webauthn to sign a nonce so I can be sure the device sending the request has access to private key for the HSM / secure enclave.

Now if the device is compromised, the OS is under malicious control, does this still hold? Can We assume the secure enclave is proof of the OS fails? I know the secure enclave is basically sealed off and as it is what signs my nonce then yeah I think even in face of OS compromise the webauthn section works.

Yes the nonce I generated has been signed, so the user has the device, but has the user seen the same content / bank transfer details that I am seeing? The user thinks they are sending grandma ten bucks but actually they are transferring 5000 to dodgy account, think they are ordering a sweater on Amazon but actually sending 10 airpods to a new address.

Yeah secure enclaves and other HSM identity systems work and webauthn would greatly reduce the amount of authentication failures - that's a huge win.

And it leaves anti-fraud measures pretty much where they are now - how likely is it this guy wants 20 airpods sent to Alabama?

The thing this is solving is "can we make the entire device as trustworthy as the secure enclave?" And frankly the answer is no. And if you cannot all you are doing then is saying does this device look like a human eyeball which is adjacent to "you cannot browse the web with adblock on".

So I was wrong earlier. This is all about can we trust the user has seen what content the web server ha seen. And no we cannot unless we can verify the whole stack - hardware to OS to javascript. And we are a long way from that.

Maybe we can build a seperate device for that - but really if we could we can build the first one just as securely.

This is basically trusted computing and who gets to sign which binaries?

Webauthn exists and is great and should be used everywhere.

We are fairly sure that the secure enclave / external HSM is so hard to break we can trust webauthn works at all but APT levels.

Any issues over "is the content the webserver gets what the user saw (ie are they compromised) is an issue of fraud prevention.

I have a seperate device from my bank - i have to enter the contents of the transaction. The trust level then is through the roof. Both devices need it be compromised at same time. one has no internet access.

At this poknt it seems obvious who could act as trust providers for content - anyone able to get a simple HSM into my hands as a seperate device.

That doesn’t mean that government employers must allow employees to say whatever they want: https://www.acludc.org/en/know-your-rights/federal-employee-...

For public employee speech to be protected, you must be speaking:

> 1) as a private citizen,
> 2) about a matter of public concern, and
> 3) your speech does not interfere with your job

A government-employed lecturer speaking within the scope of her lecture isn’t speaking in a private capacity, hence it’s not a free speech issue.
True, my mistake.

dbt is a tool for defining and orchestrating in-database transformation jobs. Typically you write SQL statements to define the transformations (plus some template language to pull in additional context if needed).

PRQL is an alternative language for writing queries which compiles to SQL. There is a dbt plugin which presumably allows you to define the transformations in PRQL instead of SQL, while everything is still orchestrated by dbt.

> don't carry an addictive

So you acknowledge something is addictive (indeed, nicotine is one of the most addictive things there is, by some measures more addictive than most any other drug) -- but think that is a reason to penalize addicts?

If something is really bad for your health but you choose to do it anyway, that's one thing -- but if we know how very very addictive it is, how very hard it is to stop doing it -- that's a special reason we should penalize addicts by charging them higher premiums?

I still don't get it.

(Presumably we should charge other kinds of addicts higher premiums too? Alcoholic? Problem with opioids? Those things will surely correlate with higher health care costs -- higher premium!)

I’ve worked in this industry for a while and in the ‘faster, cheaper, better - pick two’ trade off, many will select faster and cheaper. That’s only speaking for corporate market research though, can’t say the same for academic researchers.

I don’t think you can have anonymity on LinkedIn to be honest since your employer or your company is there, but maybe more of a website userbase culture shift on how to engage, which is not easy, HN for example have their own way which is ok for the most part, other sites are also different where you might have some pseudo anonymity, others with no likes or upvotes.

Among "the alternatives" that rail has to be better than: Busses using the existing highways. They won't be as fast as high speed rail, but they will be (in most cases) faster than non-high-speed rail, and the infrastructure costs will be massively less. Also, we can implement the plan this year, not a decade or three from now.

Busses have a bad reputation, as being ugly, uncomfortable, and smelly. So do trains, but with high speed rail, you buy some really nice trainsets. Well, for much less than the cost of rail right of way, you could buy some really nice busses.

> It was supposed to bring us electricity too cheap to meter, but it's actually the most expensive form of generation that anyone bothers to build.

Hardly, coal is much more expensive if you price in the externalities. We just pretend they don't exist for coal, and we staple anything that moves to nuclear.

Coal kills 25 people per TWh generated, and the actuarial cost of a death is about $10M as used by the nuclear industry, not to mention the environmental costs. That means the all-in cost of coal is much much higher than the LCOE - about 16c/kWh according to the Government of Canada. [1] The 2019 US EIA LCOE for nuclear is about 7.7c/kWh. [2]

Nuclear is cheaper than coal and costs around the same as solar/wind + storage - less, depending on the desired level of equivalence between the two. It has high up-front capital costs and a long payback period so the cost depends primarily on cost of capital. Fuel costs are $0.015/kWh to $0.00015/kWh in uranium.

There are places that get lots of cheap, reliable no-carbon power from nuclear. For instance Ontario, at about $0.10CAD/kWh ($0.075USD/kWh), delivered. [3]

Of course the judges know this. In fact, ALL documents can be faked. The perpetrator here affirmed (probably) under OATH that the document was true and correct, and not faked. Additionally, he may have fabricated other evidence to support the texts. As such, he got away with it.

Now that this is out, however, not only can he suffer criminal, contempt, and civil charges. But he will forever be labeled as a forger and NO documents of his will be usable in court if the other side contests them.
It is literally carbon neutral. Methane and N2O do not increase the amount of carbon in the ecosystem and do not change the climate in the steady state, unlike fossil fuels. Putting them in the same category is disingenuous.

I don't understand your point about forests. "As long as that forest continues to grow and mature", surely that's still a one time event? There is no growing over what was previously a farm being reforested, and the "maturation" is effectively limited to soil generation (normally fractions of mms a year), which captures a tiny amount of carbon, the rest being cycled by scavenging (micro)organisms? It is, for all intents and purposes, a one time carbon capture event. The overall body mass of mice, foxes, and deer is absolutely ineffectual for carbon capture, and again more or less constant after the first few years.

"We should become vegan for a couple decades" then? I don't think it's a reasonable idea to sell to the public.
Inflation is most certainly not dropping. The rate that inflation is increasing is slowing. That's a huge difference.

Also the reported rate of inflation is very misleading considering it doesn't include housing, energy, or food costs, which just so happen to be sectors of the economy that experienced the most inflation.
Ask HN: Is PGP-based web-environment-integrity possible?
Recently, Google announced their new proposal for Web Environment Integrity in which "trusted" organizations may attest to the validity of a web request.

Now I'm not a cryptography expert by any means, but the more I read about it the more I feel like it is very similar to PGP's key-signing concept whereby individuals can attest to the trustworthiness of a PGP key by staking their own trustworthiness on-top of it which also carries the trustworthiness of those who signed their key, and so on.

In the end, wouldn't it be better to implement a similar system (if it must be implement at all) whereby the browser or OS signs the user's key and any other company or individual who has signed that OS or browser can attest to the trustworthiness of that browser?

Again, I don't have a full understanding of any of these concepts so if this is a dumb idea please tell me.

it doesn't have things that are required for a proper "enterprise" messaging. so you need to hack around it. multi-device users were fun. chats with no active users that somebody joins to - more fun. state synchronization between multiple servers that host same chat - very exciting. during all those exercises you start to take little by little from mls. so even while it's preserved in the core, stuff that is added around, makes it "less".

to be fair, i wasn't the one that was doing implementation, i was only reviewing it. it was done by in-house crypto team. so maybe something was lost between rfc to implementation to explanations to me about how it works/supposed to work. yet, mls function is secrecy and not enterprises.

can all be ranked on a single scale using a single metric of "General Intelligence" is ... manifestly wrong and unscientific! The absurdity is self-evident.
