> Related, but; "speculation" is defined as the expectation that the residual price of an asset will be higher than the cost of buying it.

That's a very impoverished definition. It leaves out speculating on falling prices by short-selling. Or speculating on (or against) volatility, instead of a specific price move.

Or speculating that certain correlations will stay relevant (or will cease being relevant).

> Bubble can be defined as when the general price level in a market is decided mainly by speculation.

Speculators try to guess at future conditions and benefit from anticipating them today. If they anticipate a lower price in the future, they might short sell. If they anticipate a higher price they might buy. Acting on the expectation tends to bring the anticipated future price into the present.

But there's no reason it should be particularly high or particularly low.

Financial markets are all about this kind of anticipation. Eg you buy a zero coupon bond, because you expect it to be more valuable in the future than today. That doesn't mean zero coupon bonds are always in some kind of bubble.

But modern Linux is only the kernel. Early unixes included the userland as well which creates a different balance in types of code.

In fact traditional unixes still do, like FreeBSD. Linux is the odd one out with this separation. I think it happened because GNU was not very successful with Hurd but they made great userland so "Linux" became kinda a combo. And for Linus the userland was never really in scope anyway.

Naaaah. Recently I used a great vending machine in Brussels station when heading towards Amsterdam by train, rather than dropping my drink straight down using the curly metal things, it has a little platform that the drink slid into and then it brought it to the slot, avoids it getting shook up.

I think the core issue is that vending machines outside of Japan lack variety...there's not much in them.

That said in Europe (not really the UK though) you can always find little vending machine "nooks" filled with machines containing alcohol, drinks, medicines, condoms etc. I think the negative perception is because of these - they seem to get left dirty and homeless/general public just mess up the spot.

But when you think about it, that's less vending machines and more Japan's culture of cleanliness and lack of public disorder. Outside of Japan, well, people don't really give a crap unless it's their own property...
Sorry, I have removed the list of awk replacements for other languages from that comment because I thought it wasn't the right place for it in the thread. I'll just post it here.

- Common Lisp: https://github.com/sharplispers/clawk

- Racket: https://gitlab.com/xgqt/racket-rawk

- Tcl: https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/owh+%2D+a+fileless+tclsh (disclosure: the page links to my fork)

One use for an awk replacement is emitting more structured data. I have used my fork of owh a few times to emit JSON after awk-style parsing. I know GNU Awk can generate JSON with https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/gawkextli..., but I haven't tried it.

strken gave examples of early detection being advantegeous. The article's about MRIs. So what's the radiation risk with MRIs? If there's no radiation risk, what's the problem?

What nobody has suggested is that "rich tech folks" are having lots of x-rays in a quest for early detection.

(This is poorly phrased on my part, btw - not trying to attack you, trying to show a chain of logical thought).

Asking why has to be done much earlier in processes than that. You need to interrogate the person or department that is asking for something to get to the thing that they actually need instead of merely what they think is the easiest thing for you to deliver.

I was often able to reduce the scope and cost of parts of projects by pestering the domain experts who wanted something to explain why they wanted it. I often discovered that they believed that what they really wanted was impossible or too difficult so they had pre-emptively asked for the second best. Once I understood what they really needed I could tell give them a proper estimate of the cost of solving the actual problem.

In some cases I was able to automate away the job that they had asked me to merely provide a better user interface for for and do that with less effort and cost.

The thing is that, as a reviewer, you only get the machine for hours to days. All you can talk about is what's in front of you, not maintenance, upgrading and so on.

RDRAM was a huge mistake for the computer hardware industry, but I ascribe this more to Hanlon's razor than anything else.
Github education is broken. They have automated it and it doesn’t work in edge cases. There is no manual intervention. I got denied because

- they have an alternate to upload some documents to prove otherwise. Whatever documents my non-US university has is declined by their ML. Also you cannot upload pdf docs. Need to take a picture of pdf to upload.

Based on what you said, you didn't actually look at HDMI protocol, only the protocol exposed to your HDMI encoder chip. You could have such a protocol on Thunderbolt 3 encoder chip.

FWIW, yes HDMI is still pretty simple, but not as simple as you describe it. Even though there are 3 pairs of data it's not one pair R, one pair G, one pair B (highest-bandwidth HDMI uses 4 pairs), it's just one data bus. The data pairs aren't only used for data colors, but also conveys audio, and info frames (which will include various stuff like HDR or VRR metadata). Of course there is the matter of DRM: the content will often be encrypted (but negotiation of that encryption happen separately, over I2C)

I love this sentence. I am pretty inarticulate in person, sometimes I fantasise myself delivering lines like this in a hastily erected mobile command centre.

"In English, please, professor?" growls a FBI agent. My acolyte pushes their glasses up "uh... uh... if you consider these petroglyphs as a correlate of an instability in the solid inner core of the lower segment of the auroral-" the FBI agent pinches his temples and rounds on the eager young researcher, "You better start making sense, pencil-neck!"

I have found high-quality pay-once apps with no advertising, and I've done it with minimal effort.

Unfortunately, it won't do any good to recommend them to you, or their developers, because none of them are games, and the apps are so niche that nearly nobody on HN will want to purchase them anyway.

But they do exist; they're on the Play Store, hidden in plain sight.

In that scenario, all you need to do is believe that the interests of the country are separate from the interests of a particular president.

No, you literally cannot in 2023. It's trivial to put together a very comprehensive profile on a person from all the data that has been leaked or is being sold with nothing but a name as a starting point.

> If you believe in something you sign your name to it

I do not see why that should ever be a requirement. You are free to take a project less seriously solely because you don't know the authors' legal names (although this makes literally no sense to me), but why should that be a rigid requirement?
You are absolutely right. Every HN thread about a consumer product that is paid is full of why it is bad, or why people would gladly pay if it had 10 more orthogonal features, or they have a better way to support the creator, or the product doesn't deserve payment for some random reason but it is OK to use it without compensating the creator.

The irony is a good % of HN is well paid due to information related jobs. And their work is valued only due to artificial scarcity of information.
you could - but you'd have to start defining other stuff like where physical DRAM starts, where other devices like timers, interrupt controllers etc live because they all get reported that way too

Yeah, if you're peeling onions and potatoes over the sink instead of a bio-waste container. Do it like Germans do (in fact, if you look up your community's Abfallsatzung you may be required to) and you won't need to clean that thing more often than once every few months.

That doesn’t include R&D & marketing costs which make them unprofitable overall.

even if I gave you the BOTD and assumed that the govt. simply gave every 18YO 80k to use as they see fit:

investing is an awful first thing to do unless you already have a job and stable life setup. Pretty much any sane financial planner will say

1. get your base costs covered
2. get an emergency savings
3. get a long term (3 months) savings
4. THEN you can invest

an 18YO trying to get their home situation put together will probably burn through a good portion just by renting out an apartment and getting the bare necessities. And ofc they need a few months to find what is probably a minimum wage job, which will probably not cover rent by itself.

If they can get over that huge hump, there won't be much left to invest (definitely not a 3 months savings).

Hot and cold is run totally separate in the UK, I still don't think this would do anything...
Wikipedia opens with 'An economic bubble (also called a speculative bubble or a financial bubble) is a period when current asset prices greatly exceed their intrinsic valuation, being the valuation that the underlying long-term fundamentals justify.'

I would add that for a definition of 'bubble' to make sense, it should be identifiable to a contemporary observer, and should reliably predict a coming drop in asset prices in that observers future. Reliably enough to (theoretically) trade on it.

The last part is important: a bubble call doesn't need to be 100% accurate; just needs to be right often enough to turn a profit.

But also: a predictable drop in asset prices by themselves does not indicate a bubble. For a simple counter example, have a look at far out-of-the-money call options. Most of them expire worthless in the future, but that doesn't mean that their proper price is 0. (Or for a more down to earth example: most of the time no accidents happen, but insurance is still worth more than zero a priori, even if it's worthless most of the time a posteriori. Insurance is not a bubble.)

Financial markets, especially financial markets that allow easy short selling, are almost never in a 'bubble'.
There is no good reason to. "Belief" is subjective and should not require normalizing an erosion of privacy.

I find it interesting that shutting down and saving files is also a thing of the past, when you use e.g. an iPad, a MacBook, or another notebook and Google Docs.

There is auto-saving and hibernation or suspend mode.
Same experience. Eventually I realized the data wasn’t providing me anything useful and it was just zapping the fun of being active. When I go outside the last thing I want to be thinking of are metrics and other such self improvement things.
It's unlikely this is a momentary phenomenon. It's hard to find data, but this over-representation is not new. Looking at a single, albeit important, political post, in the 53 years since 1970, the chair of the Federal Reserve has been Jewish for 38 of them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chair_of_the_Federal_Reserve

To not base conclusions on a single data point (maybe the Fed Chair is an outlier), US Jews also contributed 50% of all donations to the Democratic party, and 25% to the Republican party: https://www.jpost.com/US-Elections/US-Jews-contribute-half-o...
From my understanding it mostly effects large pieces of metal like copper lines but would be unlikely to create a significant charge in small electronics and wouldn't destroy solar panels or the vast majority of components. Any transformer pieces that are in a disassembled state prior to the event would be easy to put together and bootstrap any such event. Some locations like inside concrete buildings or under ground would remain insulated from the event as well. Also it's likely that at the equator no effect will be felt.
I was always the mentor from day one, since I started at 12. If you really want to self teach, the best way is to have a NEED/problem and solve it with software. Example: when I was 14 back before Python hit it big, I wrote an image web scraper with c++ and libcurl.

You might be a victim of “all the low hanging problems are solved” and “everything is so easy with modern languages”.

Next time you find yourself downloading a utility, try making it instead and you’ll learn a massive amount.

Also, the math you learn with a traditional degree is important for the real technical stuff like GFX, math programs, and optimization. Don’t forget to self teach that.

HackerRank and leetcode might help too
> but, sure, keep worrying about co2 levels

Yes, very sensible attitude. Similarly, when I'm crossing the road, I don't bother to look to see whether there's oncoming traffic, on the basis that I could be hit by a meteorite at any time...

Seriously, presumably you are aware that more than one thing can be a concern at the same time? CO2 levels are probably more of an immediate and addressable concern, in this particular case, but both should be a worry.
Ruby similarly has -n and -p that does much the same, and Ruby has many of the same `$` vars as Perl/Awk. But even so I often find myself reaching for awk for the simplest stuff because I know it'll be there on pretty much every machine.

Only for 1-2 liners, typically though, the moment something grows beyond that, I don't use Awk any more, so really I only use a tiny sliver of what it can do.

It is quite likely this would have been solved by a good automated deployment process. However, it is also quite likely that at some point a human error would creep into either the automated deployment process itself, or be 100% correctly deployed into production.

At that point, if the error is as serious, Knight would still gave gone bankrupt since they had no way to mitigate these failure conditions.

Being 100% free of bugs is just not a viable way to end up with safe systems.
In another sense it helps that you can tell exactly where they're coming from on most issues.

Qatar threw money at them "to be the best of the best" in global reporting .. pretty much because they can then point to Al Jaz's world class credentials when it comes to the void on bad reporting at home.

I can see a time in the future when they might start strongly bending their international reporting .. but for now at least they play with an even bat on most issues outside their own borders, they've hired a number of top tier global reporters away from prestige journals elsewhere.

I've been observing media across the world for decades .. all media has biases, it actually helps to know what those are.
