You're asking a couple different things here and it's not clear how or if they relate to the article posted.

The second question is does finance help business or society. As answered, yes, it definitely does. Your response to that answer was to say the person was dodging your question, but they didn't. They just only answered one, not both.

Your first question was is all this financial innovation merely amounting to highly developed parasitism? This question isn't near as clear. What is "all this financial innovation" you're referring to? To be fair, the article itself isn't super clear on all the factors that make the author think the US is so far outpacing Europe. But there are three things specifically named. First, offering low-fee passive investments like ETFs. Second, less banking system fragmentation because all of the United States speaks a common language and uses a single regulatory system, and obviously the one country in the union controls its own currency. Third, it mentions greater public sector investment. The US government has injected a lot more money into its economy and financial industries than Europeans governments have.

I would not think any of those things qualify as parasitism, so presumably you're referring to unrelated things to bring up a personal hobby horse that has nothing to do with this specific article or discussion. I'm guessing you mean broader financialization of all industry (i.e. automakers are more banks than automakers) and the development of increasingly sophisticated high-risk, high-yield derivatives and securitization of things that used to not be tradeable that has happened since the 1980s. If that's what you mean, it's reasonable to ask if those things are positive, but why here? Does every discussion need to turn into the same discussion?

I just finished reading it for the first time. Good timing! My takeaways:

- It looks an awful lot like Taoism if you squint. s/logos/tao/ and focus on mindfulness and living in the present, and there’s a lot in common.

- I’ve read a lot of mythology over the years, but never heard real people talk about praying to Zeus. That was neat reminder of how much beliefs can change over time.

- The emphasis on accepting what life has given you because that’s what logos/tao/gods have willed is a lot more palatable if you’re an emperor than his slaves. It’s great to accept what you can’t change. It’s not so great to accept the bad things you could change if someone hadn’t convinced you it was the way things were meant to be.

- I couldn’t go along with the how-tos on not enjoying yourself. “Here’s how you deaden yourself to music: …” Uh, no thanks.

- “Art these days is so shallow and silly, unlike back in the day.” Ok, great^100-grand-boomer.

There was a lot of good, practical advise, though.
But you don't have to publish that modified apk to Play Store. You can just sign it with your own key and install the apk manually, no root needed.

I know there are some apps that do its own cryptographic signature verification on their own, but most apps don't do that, so replacing a LGPL library in an APK is actually feasible in most cases. It is not hard to do so either.
Fortran is more alive today than it was 10 years ago. If you didn't notice, a lot of numpy libraries is Fortran code, and they are improving this all the time. It is more used for scientific and machine learning programming nowadays than it ever was.

For me, the nuisance is, that the gasket-driver is not upstreamed, distros do not ship it, so you have to build it yourself and fool around with Secure Boot signing keys.

On the lower end the 737 has competition from Embraer, Bombardier (and now Airbus through the CSeries/A220), ATR, etc. Turboprops in general (and thus ATR) are not popular in the US, but they are quite popular elsewhere.

But the specific example I had in mind is Air Tahiti Nui, and its grand total of four 787-9. It’s simply an airline specialized in bringing tourists to Tahiti from far, far away. Hence high density 787-9.

But even a very small airline like Air Senegal has a pretty diversified fleet, of 9 aircrafts…

As a retail and business customer of both Citi and Chase, there is no comparison. It would be illogical to use Citi given how great Chase's service is.

This is a big talking point against renewable energy. If you just look at a couple of those think-tanks that are firmly in the climate denial business, you'll see its a favorite (and effective) one.

The same line of reasoning is used against EV (needs cobalt! cobalt is evil!) and solar (all that non-recycled waste! using up precious farmlands!). Somehow in this discourse the alternatives are always either not realistic (nuclear will magically and cheaply solve our problems) or in some distant future, or even less realistic (bring down capitalism, stop consuming anything). That, conveniently, leaves use in apathy with our gasoline fueled status quo, which is precisely the goal.

FAANGs don't do leetcode. They may ask about data structures knowledge, but even their coding interviews are aimed at evaluating stuff like system design, write readable code, be coachable, and even soft skills.
Well said. I'm also perplexed and frustrated by all the ad-tech apologists I'm hearing lately both here and IRL. There's the soft "no alternatives!" version where ads and enshittification are some kind of obviously necessary force of nature that we should expect and just have to deal with, and the more extreme stance that it's actively good for us somehow.

Anyway like many other humans on the internet, I've been tracked for decades now and somehow the junk thrust on me is still not even close to relevant for my demographic, and it's usually like they don't even know my gender or age group within 20 years. Except of course surely FANG have figured that out, so are they just routinely defrauding people that buy "targeted" ads and throwing them at any random eyeballs they have access to? It sounds paranoid to think that a crime on that scale would exist since it seems hard to pull off or keep quiet, so I guess we just keep listening to self-reported statistics that every dollar spent on ads wins $8 in sales. But.. I'm glad it's not my dollar

I read it differently. For context, I am not triggered by people pointing out that every culture has its own biases and myopias, and just like a fish in water, sometimes they are unaware. Honestly, this seems like one of few absolute truths in the world: perspective is always incomplete.

Here's how I read it:

The quotes are from two archaeologist/anthropologists who specialize in the Amazon and ancient Amazonian culture. They are extremely familiar with the general level of knowledge of their audience regarding their specialties.

> "This is older than any other site we know in the Amazon. We have a Eurocentric view of civilisation, but this shows we have to change our idea about what is culture and civilisation," says Prof Stephen Rostain, director of investigation at the National Centre for Scientific Research in France, who led the research.

> "It changes the way we see Amazonian cultures. Most people picture small groups, probably naked, living in huts and clearing land - this shows ancient people lived in complicated urban societies," says co-author Antoine Dorison.

The use of "we" is the polite way of saying "most people who will be reading this article".

It's not moralizing. It's pointing out that what most readers learned in school a few decades ago (and still believe) is incomplete, and we keep learning new extents of its incompleteness -- and the missing parts of the story make everything much more interesting.

They are excited by this and want to share. This paper is a pretty big deal, and they should be excited. I'd love to know as much about Amazonian civilizations, architectures, societies, etc as I do Aztec, Maya, and Inca.

All the illustrations we see about galaxies are post-processed interpretations, they are not exactly photos per se. In this case, I think astronomers may be using the data sent by the Voyagers[1] as a ground truth for trying to interpolate the scanned one from distant galaxies.

It is not my field, but perhaps another probe should have been launched on a different axis as you indirectly suggest, although it should have been done at the same time. I'd bet someone at NASA thought on it and the budget stopped it.

Don’t know if you are actively avoiding Citi, but this tone rings a bell.

I have been boycotting PNC bank since 2006. They stole over $700 from me. They gave me $300 back to settle. I refuse to do business with them. I went to a Pirates game, saw it was PNC Park and noped out of there.

Their market cap has since doubled. Fucking over the little person is OK in our society.
Just to report back on this in case anyone finds this comment in the future... standalone mode almost worked.

On the UniFi U7 Pro, standalone mode was limited to 40MHz channel width on 5GHz and 160MHz channel width on 6GHz, which was a dealbreaker for me. The hardware is capable of 240MHz on 5GHz and 320MHz on 6GHz. So, I installed the controller on a local server and used that to configure the hardware to its fullest potential.
How far are we from creating a aircraft, like a glider that can maintain its altitude that can fly indefinitely.
What you have in mind for the Airbus crash is what the captain claimed, but it was not true. The engines responded normally and started to spool up to maximum power, but that takes time for older jet engines coming from idle.

The crew then pulled as far back as the stick would go, and the computer put the aircraft at it's maximum possible pitch-up. Unfortunately that wasn't enough to clear the trees they were flying into. More details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_296Q

A 737 in the same situation would have similar engine challenges. But the crew would have stalled it instead of the Airbus computer avoiding the stall. That would have most likely been a more severe crash than what happened here.
The Mobile plant is working heavily to serve the US market with A320s and A220s (on which production is starting to ramp up), so no, there is no place for layoffs while demand far outstrips supply.
Prosecuting directly meant there was no outside eyes on a lot of the cases, no questions about if it was actually in the public interest to prosecute, or external assessment of the evidence before pushing for plea deals.

It's not a foolproof system, but I think most of the cases you'd find about 'dodgy evidence' would also mention a 'overly close relationship between police and prosecutors' - because fully independent prosecutors should be rejecting cases with dodgy evidence. The police can get a bit grumpy with CPS for being quite strict at times - but it holds them to work their next case properly.

The PO clearly managed to convince the CPS in a number of cases, but had they had to do that for all there would have been a lot less cases prosecuted in total, and I think there would have been questions about their system a lot sooner.

It might not have avoided the problem, but it would have been much needed additional oversight into what they were doing.

Okay, lets take a simple example.

Indie app A, owned by a developer, Joe. Company B buys A outright, including employing Joe. They keep the brand around for name recognition.

How does the app store know this? None of this has to be public info if A & B aren't public. The company registration hasn't changed. At best, maybe the bank account number changed.

Help run the boulder ruby meetup and have for a few years.

I'll say that the energy is building and we're seeing more and more new faces at meetups. We're also able to do both in-person and online, which leads to some nice recordings: https://boulder-ruby.org/

I've been speaker wrangling for years and it's still pretty easy to get quality talks. Some local, some from folks zooming in.

We're lucky enough to have sponsored space and zoom subscription, but there are ongoing costs (primarily food) that we're trying to figure out. Used to be easier to get a company to kick in $50-100/month. Now, as you mention, there's less hiring, so there's less incentive to sponsor. I think something similar is happening with tech conferences in general, just from anecdotes.

It's hard for me to know what is general slowdown and what is specific to the ruby language, though. But I've definitely seen a number of other tech meetups stop meeting over the past few years. I get an automated message about wantint to take over the group.

I worked at JPM in investment banking. At least on the IBank side, it was an incredibly well run company. I’m not gonna say there’s no bureaucracy there, but for a company with 200k+ employees it ran very efficiently. And they have always been relatively conservative, not taking on the riskiest bets that some of their peers did, which puts them into a very strong position to take advantage of downturns.
To any Boeing execs reading this thread:

How is the clean sheet redesign of the 737 going?

J/K, everyone knows you wake up in the morning and think about how much stock to buy back and not much else. Do you even remember what Boeing used to do? Do you play parlor games where you try to guess? "Did we used to make books? Did we used to make soup?" "Ha ha! Who cares, I've got a meeting with analysts to discuss our buyback schedule" I bet it's an SNL skit every single day there.

Another question:

Why did you move HQ to Chicago? Was it really just to get far away from those pesky engineers that don't know a thing about hyperfinancialization?
