Why would I listen to you on this topic when your demographic has a worse track record on this matter? Within my community people lead happy lifelong marriages. Why should I listen to your "wisdom" instead of theirs?

You can call me misogynistic, I don't care, but then so are all the women in my community. If we take a worldwide survey I would bet my views are more common than yours.

People who sleep around a lot are less capable of long term love. I believe that and it is backed by research on the matter as well. If you care you can read about sociosexuality.

That there is a relationship between attractivness and promiscuity amongst women is something I disagree with. But it would not make a difference either way.

Most breakups from a serious relationship do end up with the people being jaded.

Emotions are definitely notinfinite. Quite the opposite.

BTW to not mislead anyone I am an atheist and grew up as a mainstream Catholic from Germany.

> So you had to switch to C++ because Clojure / Java wasn't performant enough?

Clojure yes, java no. Many HFT firms build their systems in java and run on the jvm(specialized hardware aside), its plenty fast if you avoid memory allocations.

It is also possible Clojure is more than up to the task now and its also reasonable to believe that I wasn't a strong enough clojure developer to fix those issues at the time and a more competent developer could have made it work.

But like almost all things if you chose a very out of the mainstream language and start to have issues, most developers will point fingers at the language first.

Side note, its a miracle that Jane Street kept using OCaml after the first few years and points to how strong their core tech team was.

C++ was an external dependency brought on by other systems that needed to be integrated and is a far safer language to use. I'd imagine that if you say HFT to most developers, their first thought would be C++ even if they haven't worked in the domain before.

It's like choosing Julia for your machine learning platform and then switching to python.
>the freezing costs power, which damages our planet.

Many completely unnecessary things cost power, and quite a few of them cost much more of it than the freezing costs of cryogenics. If your moral benchmark for people doing or not doing strange but generally modest-in-scope things is a contrived moral argument connected to climate change and energy usage, you could start with much bigger misuses than this. And, unless you live one hell of a minimalist lifestyle, you could also pick many "frivolous" aspects of your own life that you'd have to eliminate by the same logic.

It's extremely short-sighted to dislike something that in practical terms does you no harm for personal reasons and then shoehorn de jure social/political issues around it as justifications for wanting the subject of your dislike to to go away.
When publications put out things like this it reminds me of why I can't trust them. They're writing this article for clicks and attention and to feed that side of society that constantly pulls us down about what's not possible while the publication makes money from taking the other side of a issue. It's plain corruption.

I have the feeling, FTC doesnt want to destroy business that has a theoretically valid model, rather it [FTC] is interested in the illegal behaviours exhibited.

fines should be of magnitude that discourages the behaviour, but should not be so large as to be an instant kill for what could be a legal business if not for the behaviour. there should be a negative reinforcement that provides a window of opportunity to learn and adapt, or else fold up.

Nature is just bitter imo because they passed on an article that the public was fascinated by because as the authors put it "trauma".

They are reacting just like all the publishers who passed on JK Rowling because no one wants to read a fantasy book a girl wrote.

This is like YouTube telling people not to watch Cobra Kai on Netflix because they passed on it.
Tax evasion is my biggest gripe against the existence of cash.

As a professional working for a company, I have little or no means of avoiding tax. Rich people can and do pay expensive lawyers and accountants to exploit loopholes in tax law, to minimize their tax liability.

People in cash-friendly occupations, like contracting, likewise have the ability to hide income through under-the-table cash transactions.

Which leaves poor saps like me to carry an unfair percentage of the tax burden, just so that a few people can feel like they are evading government supervision. (Hint: they are not).
I understand the sentiment, but I really want HN to stay as free as possible of this low-effort half-conscious meme way of speaking.

The other thing is that even if LK-99 is finally conclusively shown to be a room temp & ambient pressure SC, there will be lots of important challenges to work on surrounding LK-99, so not being the first to replicate is no tragedy:

- challenges in practical and reliable
manufacturing of LK-99
- challenges in engineering w/ LK-99
- challenges in finding better materials
than LK-99 using similar approaches

If I were in a position where I could devote funding and researcher and lab time into LK-99 research, I might well quietly let others to do the replication work while having my team quietly research practical manufacturing of LK-99 so that we could a) beat everyone else to the punch on practical and reliable manufacturing, b) get the patents for (a).

I don't know. I know that I despise Comcast, although my problem with them isn't the actual service itself. That's been great. My problem is dealing with them as a company.

If I had any other option, even one with worse service, I'd switch away in a heartbeat if the new company were easier to deal with.
>What other options were there for the Allies?

We know that what actually ended the war was invading the territory that was held, not strategic bombing. Not that it really matters, since the German state was so thoroughly interrogated for the war that they aren't going to complain, but the Allied bombing campaign bears much similarity to the Vietnam bombing campaign in that it was killing stuff for the stake of killing stuff with little tactical or strategic advantage.
Update (I'm unable to edit my comment); it appears I was wrong and Sweep is fully open-source. My apologies.

See the comment below:

The point is that modern war is an industrial process. The failure to recognize this led to the vulnerability of the US processes from Viet Nam through the 2000s' Iraq and Afghanistan.

The irony of this failure is that the US civil war was the first true economy-vs-economy conflict, with mechanized rail changing the scope and nature of conflict (while actual combat was still with napoleonic-class cannon, cavalry charge and the like). European powers mostly ignored this conflict, and so it took a while for them to understand what WWI was really about. Then the US took this lesson to heart, and didn't recognize that the only alternative for their adversaries was asymmetrical combat...a full circle as that was the approach the US had taken in its own war of liberation from a superpower.

The other, even more meaningful point about industrialized warfare is that it has its own Taylorist logic. For the European theatre, they built an enormous machine that assembled planes, filled them with fuel and tons of bombs, and then daily launched them eastward from the UK. Long after this machine could materially affect the course of the war it was still operating at full tilt, with the allies seemingly unable to switch it off. In small (pop < 50K ppl today) cities of Germany you can find plaques in the Marktplätze indicating that the city had been flattened, bombed for the first time, in late April 1945. The machine had been flattening cities in order of importance, and had run down the list to the point where they'd run out of anything worth bombing.

It's hard to argue that any of those bombings were individually "unethical" (assuming you can accept carpet bombing cities at all) because they were bureaucratic decisions with no real room for individual judgement any more. That is a critical lesson both for wartime and for peacetime. We don't really mind if a company makes a worthless product -- it merely goes out of business. But at the state/strategic level it can be tragic.
That's not true. Provo, as an example, spent 50 millions on their fiber before selling it to Google for $1.
Same exact market. I'm just not particular about whether the car is brand new or not, because I only need the following: Android auto, air conditioning, cruise control. Some of the other features like the rear camera are standard, and it's also got heated seats as a plus.

In 2020 I was involved in a rearend accident, but I didn't think much of it because my car was still drivable even though I couldn't use the back door. Insurance company said they were just gonna cut me a random check if I didn't bring the car in to the shop. Apparently there was frame damage at very rear driver side which totaled the vehicle.

So I was in a scramble to buy another car. I had multiple options, both new and used, but my rental was a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. Loved that car. Anyway, when I set out that morning to buy a new car, I was looking for a NEW car. Talked to a dealership about a $33K special edition SUV with all the bells and whistles. Special color, moon roof, etc. But along the way, I saw a used car dealership and pulled in when I saw they had a bunch of SUVs in the lot. They had the exact same make, model, and color as the car I was driving. I don't do a lot of driving. The car had every single feature I wanted and low miles. So when they told me the price, it was a no-brainer. Picked it up the very next day.

The first paragraph is written as if it only applies to blood, but chemical equilibria are of course more general, as acknowledged in the second paragraph starting with "Crucially, a similar buffer operates in the oceans."

Observe that the arrows for 1, 2 and 3 go both ways, and so represent reversible equilibrating reactions.

Is there a "company" behind this that could be sued? Aren't those calls mostly coming from countries that don't care?
The short answer is, you can, but it takes a lot of work. I’ve settled with several telemarketers who have called me (as a pro se litigant) and forwarded information that helped a large telecom company back in 2008 with their suit against one of the infamous auto warranty robocallers.

I’ve found that many people are fascinated by the stories but nobody that I know of has gone on to actually take these people to court themselves.
>Gold-backed reserve notes and even coins made of the metal(s) can still be debased

Well, yes, but it's harder to play games with, which makes it more stable. It's similar to making the argument that while Windows is less secure than Linux, Linux also has security issues, so we should just have everybody use Windows.

We have ample evidence that the caretakers of our money supply are, shall we say, less than diligent.

No currency system is going to be perfect. You have to balance a lot of things, and every single one is subject to corruption and other sorts of chicanery. There is always a "what-if" scenario.
The only mistake Sentry made was caving to peer pressure. OSI does not own the term "open source". They applied to the USPTO for the trademark and were denied [1]. They self-admit that they "must rely on market pressure" because they have no legal standing.

The OSI definition of open source is anti-labor and corporate friendly. There is no reason for them to exclude non-commercial use from their definition. Even the Creative Commons has a "non-commercial use" license. The economic downturn should be a wake-up call for labor to demand a more pro-worker definition.

The only "good" recognized alternative at this time is the FSF and their copyleft family of licenses. They are very much pro-user and anti-corporation. If anything, Sentry should have considered the AGPL instead of the BSL.

It’s simply because the US is the richest country on the planet[0]. A lot of money buys a lot of science. Many of those great discoveries are not made by Americans, if you look around at any of those American universities you’ll see people from all corners of the world.

So yes, the US is quite good at research, but it’s not due to some intrinsic quality of the country any more than a billionaire’s ability to attract beautiful women is down to their good looks. The US is simply punching at its (very heavy) weight.

[0] Why is the US the richest country? It has a lot of arable land to support a large population. Most of the original settlers came from the previous richest country, and it was never colonized (or more precisely it was never decolonized) meaning that the wealth was not diverted away from the people like it was in most of the worlds countries. The real story here is how China has completely mismanaged all the opportunities it’s had, you can thank Mao for that.
As I point out in a parallel comment - By 1943 the Germans had mostly successfully moved their production to small workshops, which were often in cities. Essentially providing a justification why any civilian population center was also a valid military target.
from all I've read this was yet another social media product insisting that if you used it, it had to be in their way (mobile only, no feed customisation, needed to be tied to an instagram account). not surprised no one was particularly interested in putting up with that after a brief initial try.

I don't know. Really depends.

Some of them are very independently-motivated and self-contained, but inexperience means they are still prone to rabbit holes. Others really will sit on their hands until explicitly told what to do, which doesn't mean they're bad or lazy, just that they require tight feedback loops.

In both cases, it seems like quicker feedback cycles do more good than harm.

Well...the way science is supposed to work is that everyone is an optimistic skeptic until something is known for certain. There is generally a correlation between higher PR effort and likelihood of falling short. This probably originates from incentive structures not aligning with being truthful and allowing work to speak for itself. So people have to drum up the excitement before it is warranted.
Individual lab heads might do this sua sponte. Think: while everyone else is busy playing replication games you can work on reliably making LK-99 and beat everyone else to the punch on the more valuable patents and engineering glory.

> Not a shut in, have a family

There's a chance that what you consider a shut in might be very different from what I consider a shut in. Not to mention my friends and I aren't married or with families (and in our 30-40s). I work with a lot of people that have families of course due to my age and we live vastly different lives. I have a lot of "friends" that have families but they're more like people I'll grab a beer with once every few months. They're busy with soccer practices and what not. Not the friends I see weekly.

I'm out around town almost every other day. I took an Uber to Oppenheimer last night, 2.1 mile Uber. I think it ran me something like $11-13 before tip. Then I took an Uber about another 2 miles in a different direction from home to meet a friend for a beer. Then I ubered home about 3 miles. All of these Ubers show up within 5 minutes so I'm not spending much time waiting and can almost immediately get place to place. I could take a scooter or bus and dodge cars or spend 30 minutes getting somewhere. But even using a scooter I'm "using an app."

On Wednesday I did basically the same thing to go see Barbie except switch up locations a bit.

Not using UberEats is smart. It's a complete waste of money and I'm paying for total convenience and the fact that I haven't bought groceries in awhile. I also don't enjoy cooking in the least. Being hungry is a total inconvenience to me and if I could take a pill and be sustained I'd be out of this world happy. I don't live anywhere near a grocery store, I'm in a food desert so getting groceries requires me to spend about 40 minutes driving back and forth and all the pleasures that are driving around a big downtown, lack of parking, meter maids, general traffic.

So when I do get groceries I use Instacart/Kroger app. It costs me typically something like a $15-20 tip, lets me sit at my desk and pick out meals/recipe ingredients, etc and shows up in a couple of hours. I don't have to pull my Jeep out of a parking garage and deal with a 40 minute stressful drive to save $15-20.

I'm not sure how you completely missed the app train over the last 8 years and have literally never used an app for food delivery. That is incredibly strange to me. You've never sat at home, had a craving for some special restaurant who doesn't do delivery and .... wanted it delivered? You've never had a hangover or felt sick and wanted Pho to show up in 15 minutes?

Using a dating app is just increasing your pool of options. You can, and I have, spent days and weeks going to bars or meetups and trivias etc meeting people and you have no idea on initial interaction who is single, nor whether or not they find you attractive at all. Dating apps make that easy. If someone swiped on you they at LEAST find you somewhat attractive, theoretically. I've spent hours having conversations with someone I'm attracted to and possibly interested in while out and about to find out they're partnered up or I'm not their type. Dating apps just kind of bypass that and put the options front and center saving everyone time.

We're just wired differently.

Can't say specifically for Zoom, but I do know that during the pandemic lockdowns, with me on Google Meet or BlueJeans, and my two kids on Teams for their school, our Xfinity 500Mbps service really struggled, and going to their Gigabit service was needed. ISTR that 500Mbps had 20Mbps up and gigabit had 30Mbps, but I might be off there.

Switched to city fiber as soon as it was available and that's been a blessing.
Complete tangent but this sent me down an interesting rabbit hole reading about the Celts. I had no idea they (probably) originated in central Europe, I'd assumed what we now call the Celtic nations were the origin.

> What if you hold a bunch of gold and then we find a better non-tarnishing conductor and switch to it, and the price plummets?

Or, for an example that actually happened with gold and silver, we find a previously unknown (to the society using it as currency) plentiful and cheap supply of the same metal?
True. This generalizes - when there isn't enough of something, only more of it can fix the problem. Rules for regulating what we have might be some small help, but not much, and they would become totally redundant if we had enough of the thing in question.
