It's not even the whole Hong Kong stock exchange market (which has a market cap of HKD 28T ≈ USD 3.6T https://www.hkex.com.hk/Market-Data/Statistics/Consolidated-... ) just apparently the half of it that consists of Chinese companies.

My guess is that the author simply doesn't know that Chinese companies could also be listed on other exchanges.

Isn't the setup cost a key part of the total cost of analytics, especially when it comes to these MDS systems?

I encourage anyone in a position to make purchases or who has a say in what engineer labor focuses on is to get a copy of Horngren's Cost Accounting. It should make my position very clear!

FWIW, there is indeed capitalization occurring when an organization incorporates analytics, even the "measure all the things" approach, but the question is, once the total costs are discovered, does the return outweigh the expenditure?

These things cannot be considered in isolation, especially when using advanced approaches like Activity-Based Costing, something that is basically a requirement for a product or service that is fundamentally software in nature. There is too much complexity to treat managerial accounting in a software setting like a steel mill.

The reason why this doesn't happen is YOLO business management fueled by the casino that is VC backed companies. But we are in a rapidly maturing industry where margins are slimming and costs need to be reigned in, especially in publicly traded companies where investors will punish a company that makes wildly off target financial projections discovered when cash flows are reported in the following quarters.

I encourage everyone in all management positions to start thinking about and tracking actual costs. Not story points, not customer use patterns, but cold hard cash!

Making phones thinner, and hence more expensive is in some way pointless. Almost everyone gets a $20 plastic case and adds about 3-5mm to the thickness anyway. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just manufacture bulkier phones with more features like ports and which are sturdier so you don't need a case?
It depends a lot on the rooms you go too as well, it's a reflection of the various communities (in Europe mostly, although quite a few people come from overseas too).
I've found the same, although I still remain subscribed. For me, their episode last year "Born This Way" was a low point of their reporting, but there have been a lot of others that I feel really miss the mark on scientific reporting, including the one on Zoozve which instead of spending time exploring the different ways multi-body orbital dynamics can produce interesting and non-intuitive effects, spent half the episode distracted by what was effectively "bro, wouldn't it be hilarious if we officially named it Zoozve? lol"
Quite surprised no one mentioned this:

At least for maritime terminal many of them can use external GPS source, so it is very simple to spoof GPS. However, that would also mean the terminal would connect to the satellite on wrong frequency as it would think it is in a spot beam it is not and as such you would get crappy signal or no signal at all. That said, many geo-satellites spot beams are the size of Ukraine, so it doesn't matter that much if you just need to move your position a kilometer or two.

No worries there. Despite all the incredible technologies evolution we've got, smartphones are getting wider and thinner every year, to pack more and more.

I think thinnest smartphones era was around 2014-2016 when thin was touted as a feature. But then thin feature phones were hype in 2004, so maybe there is a 10 years cycle of going back to thin.
The possibility of it being thinner simply means you can maintain the current size and increase battery size.

I think phones are obviously too thin already as evidenced by the thick covers covering nearly every one of them.
In North America / Europe, you’re correct. In Japan, China, South Korea, they’re losing population, everyone knows they’re losing population, but self-correction mechanisms aren’t working or not working fast enough. Japan been trying to throw random stuff on the wall to see if anyone sticks, but the birth rate only keeps dropping. And well, young people really don’t want children.

It goes back further than that. "To be or not to be" is indeed THE question, or rather THE choice, especially if you have the type of personality that tends to lead to an existential crisis at some point in your life.

In the end, as far as I can tell, there is no obvious "meaning" in life beyond what we decide to attach meaning to. And "to be" is a prerequisite for most objectives we may attach it to.

Having offspring can be seen as an extension to this. It is to decide that "beeing" will go on even after you as an individual dies.

I’ve come to the opinion that the classic “make a product, sell it once, make the next product” model has always been kind of a lie. History is littered with companies who made a great product, sold it, then went out of business because the next product couldn’t make enough money fast enough to sustain them.

Especially in tech, every “evergreen” product needs to have at least basic security updates over it’s lifetime, and most likely needs code updates to continue to work across generations. I also think recurring payments can be done in a way that respects user rights and without the draconian licensing that we are rightfully cautious of.

As an example: I have paid for a parcel tracking app on iOS for a few years now. It’s solid and reliable and does not chase features or try to be something flashy. It just works. In order to keep it working they need to spend money on servers to run the interfaces with the delivery companies, dev time updating those interfaces when the delivery companies change their apis/websites, dev time to keep the app in line with Apple’s expectations for each iOS version, and the yearly Apple fee. I pay $3 per year and I’m happy to pay it. I feel confident that the money goes towards those costs while also providing the reliability necessary to let the dev(s) stay focused on making the best most effective product.
I mean, 20% is the difference between the current US fertility rate (1.64) and a rate above 2.

Obviously the 20% of the population more than 2 hours from their parents isn't abstaining from children absolutely, but it's the right order of magnitude to be a significant factor.
Books are going to be better than articles because you can dive deep into topics and you know it isn't written for SEO, clickbait, selling some silver bullet process or ad revenue. I'll recommend two to learn good practices from and then two that will help learn to recognize horrible practices. You're likely to run into horrible management at some point and its good to recognize dog shit before you step in it.

Why is there such offense taken to this ask? Is it because it's coming from Sam? Is it the amount? Or what it will be used for?
UCI has strict regulations on the geometry, weight and even ancillary equipment (think brakes, gear shifts) of bikes. I vaguely recall the minimum weight being something like 14.9 lbs, but this is likely incorrect. Point is, it's quite possible to make a bike that is lighter than this while still remaining safe for racing. I've heard of some using lead ballast to make weight. One advantage of this, though, is you can choose where to place the weight, such as in the bottom of the frame, near the crank, lowering center of gravity and helping stability a bit.

The regs do make for some funny situations though. Take a look at a pro peloton and look for the shortest rider, preferably someone close to 5 feet tall. Their bike will be comically oversized for them.

The UCI tends to be a fairly conservative organization that favors tradition over accepting the latest technology and design trends, especially with road racing. You're more likely to see new technology in non road disciplines such as cyclocross or mountain biking. Just see disc brakes only just getting into road racing in the past several years (I've not been following racing closely anymore, so not sure when).
Yep. I advise my clients to have a controlled, sandbox partition of prod. Call it the whiteboard or what have you, things can be erased or you can cache model version runs. Your data transforms can happen in dev but training should happen against real data. Synthetic data can be a compromise but that can sharply bias your model and, since it a harder lift, often multiplies data prep time

Check out the works of Eamonn Keogh. I think his methods are very up to date and applicable as most of his algorithms have implementations in sktime/tslearn/stumpy etc.
Without seeing the design in question, I think this still demonstrates the ambiguity the post is discussing. Is the icon what will happen, or what is currently happening? Is it the state, or is it the action? Maybe this particular design was unambiguous, but the description of it isn't.
Ah the name - you're not the first to mention it! Do you (or anyone lurking...) have any suggestions as to what it might better be called?

On what it does/why it exists, we've kept the README quite light to avoid duplication, with the main bits of the docs at https://pg-bulk-ingest.docs.trade.gov.uk/

But to try to answer the question here:

A set of insert statements - there are lots of cases where this would be fine, so pg-bulk-ingest (/its future name ;-) would be unnecessary, and so you might as well use insert statements.

But there are lots of things that pg-bulk-ingest does that a set of insert statements don't:

- It uses COPY, which in many cases is (much?) faster than INSERT

- It creates the table if it doesn't exist

- It migrates an existing table to match the definition if it does exist (pg-bulk-ingest can't handle all possible changes, but enough to make it useful to us)

- And it migrates without holding a long ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock on the table

- It offers a fairly structured way to do high-watermarked ingest - it stores and retrieves a high watermark so you can fetch the data "since" some previous ingest, with the exact meaning of "since" custom to each source you're ingesting from.

- And it (now) combines COPYs with multiple tables, without loading all incoming data into memory at once, and keeping the ingest within a single transaction, so other clients see all the data, or none of it.

(The high watermarking I think is maybe the least clear of these in the docs, while also one of the most important things. Would really like an example that is somehow standalone that also makes it clear what it does...)
Beside the UCI ruining everything for almost every cycling sport, you can't even do a superman these days, there's also the NJS in Japan who do the same for track cycling in Japan. Which is a massive sport and betting market.

Btw, Graeme Obree is/was one of the most innovative cyclists, he came up with ideas the UCI didn't like at all. But he's such an outstanding personality and inspiration.
With many US states restricting access to abortion this seems like a problematic argument.
> Exponentiation relies on super scripts to separate its arguments, making it extremely unambiguous at least which operations are part of the exponent and which the total.

The textual representation even for exponents is not enough if you don't already know that exponentiation has higher precedence than multiplication.

"1 - 3xy + 2xy²"

Both of us know that only the y term is squared in that expression. How do we know that?

I claim that we know that because we know the precedence rules and that someone never exposed to our system of algebra would not inherently and unambiguously know that it was 2·x·(y²) rather than (2·x·y)² or even 2·(x·y)² merely by visual inspection of the expression.

This (the meaning of the above expression, including the precedence/grouping) is something that has to be taught in Alegbra/Prealgebra courses, and is something that some students struggle with.

No way you’ll get business owners to “label things as more expensive”, even though that’s literally how much of the rest of the world does it.

Other than that, one big practical problem is that e.g. when shopping online, there is no way of knowing your tax rate before providing your ZIP code. Sure, retailers could eat the tax rate differences themselves like they do in the EU, but they won’t be happy about it.

What I do hope should be possible is a “no bullshit fee” law, though. What is a service charge anyway? I thought that’s what I’m paying a service provider for!

You can probably get a majority of people to agree on “no DST shifts anymore”, but you’ll lose a half of them again on the decision on whether that should mean “always standard time” or “always DST”.

How would solar be the same? That "reservoir" is emptying wether we hold silicon into the photon flow or not. Tides and wind aren't quite as far from just taking what is already disappearing, but even there: the natural drag of land and sea floor shapes is not only so many more orders of magnitude larger than anything we could ever build, there's also the nonlinearity of drag, if we slow down the natural flow a tiny little but the effect of natural drag will decrease accordingly and the total difference to natural flow will be much smaller than it would be if drag was linear to speed.
Ads are the ultimate goal for everything. The only way to avoid it is to nationalize advertising industry and ban private advert businesses. We did something bit similar with gambling.

It's misleading and many other outlets are repeating the same thing. The total joint market capitalization of listed domestic companies for China was about 12.5 trillion as of 2020 [0] and approximately 78.8 trillion yuan [1] (about 10.90 trillion USD) in 2022 from just looking at freely available data. I'm fairly sure the original source of this statement, Michael Hartnett (chief investment strategist at Bank of America), is well aware of that. It's a purposefully deceiving claim and outlets just repeat it without proper context.

I am surprised no one has yet tried to make a portable shell for the DE-10 Nano (Mister-FPGA's target platform). With a power usage of 10 watts, I think it should be quite feasible even with the addition of a small LCD panel. However, it would probably require re-engineering some of the standard addon boards for the form factor.
If regulations were dropped they would race with egg shaped bicycles, because of aerodynamics. They are very fast. Google that term, lots of funny pictures. On climbs, I don't know how they perform. On descents, I have no idea about their safety.

Even without going to those extremes, they need a tradeoff bike between going fast on level roads, climbing, descending, replacing flat tires, overall weight, etc. So something like those NDD bikes with maybe a switch to more extreme shapes on long flat courses.
Also worth noting that trying to extrapolate the effects of current technology at this timescale is pointless.

There will be tide changes in human’s technological capabilities long before there could be any reckoning for over-extraction of the Earth’s rotational energy.

For example, in our ability to bring mass into orbit. Add a couple orders of magnitude in that capability, and humans can start directly tuning the Earth’s total solar irradiance by shooting lunar dust into a Lagrange point, reducing the amount of sunlight hitting the Earth by fractions of a percentage.

The Lagrange point is not perfectly stable, so the dust naturally dissipates over a 10-20 year timescale. If you don’t keep sending more dust, the “planetary sun-shade” naturally dissipates, so there’s zero risk of overdoing it.

Basically, within the next ~50 years, I predict we will gain the ability to turn down the planet’s thermostat in a very safe and predictable fashion, without having to pollute our own stratosphere. Overheating the planet becomes a total non-issue.

The ISP isn’t taking the side of the record labels. They’re saying it shouldn’t be so easy to cut off service to accounts based on unverified third-party allegations of copyright infringement.

It’s easy to predict a subscriber gets their account axed because of DHCP lease-level details from a mistaken “third party” and the ISP wasn’t able or willing to explain DHCP in court. This case will decide how easy.

I suppose I’d argue that the ISP cannot determine from traffic patterns whether video streaming is being paid for with a stolen credit card.

I've said this before, but while a lot of the bugs are most easily triggered with `zfs send`, you can also trigger them other ways depending on which bug on which platform - illumos, for example, used to be able to reliably trigger a crash with the same trace as one of the "send/recv" bugs on ZoL/OpenZFS with just "zfs clone" (it might still, I haven't tried in a while).

Another one of them got what looks like a duplicate posted that triggered on pool creation in the test suite sometimes.

So I don't think it's accurate to say "it's safe if you don't use zfs send" - while some of the bugs might actually be exclusive to send/recv, it seems like a number of them are just most easily triggered that way.

It clearly works "fine" for some people - e.g. I believe the original authors of the feature still use it in production, last I knew, because their workflow doesn't hit any of these issues. But "using this feature adds a 1% chance of a lion eating your face" seems like something worth warning people about, if there was not a face-eating risk prior.

(Especially because a number of them seem to be races, so how much the problem comes up is really going to be hard to predict a priori...)
This nails it I think

The basic unit of humanity, the human, does not have consistent long term desires or goals.

In fact within the span of a lifetime the same individual is expected to have completely divergent goals and conception of reality when they are 20 versus 50 versus 80.

In effect this means that a consistent, coherent goal state for human action is not possible to define that would satisfy the self-reported desires of any individual.
I have been using an iPhone 14 Pro. It's thick, I think I got used to it?

Recently someone handed me an old Samsung Galaxy S7 to use for testing. It was a revelation: I wanted and dearly missed having a phone that thin. I really hope someone pushes for thinness again. I miss the iPhone 6 (Edit: a big part of this might be down to the weight, the squared off edges, and the enormous camera bump)

Same thing with laptops. I updated from a MacBook Air M1 to a MacBook Pro 14". The 14" is fast enough to justify its bulk — but barely. Every time I pick up the Air it feels effortlessly portable, when I grab the MacBook Pro it just does not feel thin and light enough
Except that consumption is exactly what capitalism drives - particularly manufacturing, where a relatively fixed amount of capital (factories & machinery) can drive higher overall profits if more products are made for people to consume - even if those people don't actually need the products.

Apparently (I can't find the source for this, but it stuck in my mind), faced with a glut of production after WW2, the US could either consume more, or work less. The choice was made to consume more, not least because the industrialists could cream off a larger slice of the pie that way.
Can you provide 3 obvious problems of how the parent post is incorrect? I am curious of your thoughts.
Ideal adjustments (full compensation) are more uncomfortable.

Thought to be so, because there's a mismatch been visual and inner ear inputs. That is: you can see you're going around a corner, but you don't feel it. Resulting in motion sickness. Since all people have different tolerances of motion sickness, it's impossible to have a "correct" amount.

Almost all systems compromise between zero and full compensation, but passenger comfort is just one of many factors, and not the most significant. The discomfort on German tilting trains is probably because they are too close to "ideal".
