That’s not the correct curve to use for pricing in general. You’d infer discount factors from overnight indexed swaps (OIS) instead as the overnight rate (ESTR, SOFR, SONIA, etc.) is what is used for collateralisation typically. To create such a discount curve you need OIS swap rates.
Modafinil has been the go to pill for the Air Force for quite some time. I don't know about nowadays, but in the mid 00s they handed it out like candy in the war zones. Same with Ambien. (source: I was there)
The animated show "Archer" (action/comedy TV series) season 9 episode 7 had this as a plot point. From the IMDB trivia section:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7576240/trivia/

"Pervitin was one of the first commercially available formulations of methamphetamine hydrochloride (salts); it also contained large doses of caffeine. It was used by Nazi soldiers, sometimes along with cocaine, to help them remain alert on night patrols, long marches and also to help increase aggression and stamina during battle. Pervitin was heavily used by Stuka (a German fighter plane) pilots to help keep them alert on long patrol flights, hence the nickname "Stuka tablets". By 1940 the German Army had started greatly reducing the number of tablets each solider was allowed to have due to the severe side effects. While the drug was in their system, it had the benefit of causing decreased fear and increased strength, stamina, aggression and gave them a high resistance to pain. However, after the drug wore off, soldiers often took several days to recover. They suffered from a form of amphetamine "hangover" and were pretty much useless for the next few days because they acted more like zombies than soldiers; this was mainly because of the long duration of methamphetamine's effects which would cause soldiers to be awake for a few days straight, so it would take several days for the body to recover. Pervitin use also was responsible for Nazi soldiers becoming too aggressive and attacking fellow soldiers and superior officers. It also caused some to commit war crimes by killing civilians and raping women and young girls as amphetamines often greatly increase libido and decrease inhibitions."

Huh? A busines becoming unsustainable or unprofitable is completely different than its products having been entirely unused. My comment even noted that they seem to be at or beyond some crossover point in viability.

They had as many as 42,000 kiosks. Tens of thousanda remain. They are used every day. Yet the future of the company looks bleak and the finances are in crisis. All those things can be true at once.

Rome2Rio seems to find an optimal route, and the problem discussed in this post is about finding an optimal flow.

Both are fascinating problems, but quite different. Finding shortest paths was typically solved with Dijkstra's algorithm [1], until someone discovered an amazing optimization scheme by precalculating some information that speeds up the search algorithm dramatically [2]. Thanks to this breakthrough, one can now interactively drag routes on Google Maps, for instance. And have Rome2Rio.

Caffeine is a very interesting drug that makes capitalism and just daily work bearable. It's interesting that this went all the way to 1800s for the US.

After reading Your Mind on Plants [1], I decided to do an experiment, and stop any caffeine intake for ~3 months. After ~1 month, I felt "normal". Only when you cannot rely on a drug, a clutch, you realize how many pressures you face every day. One might have a deadline, something doesn't work, some part of work is boring... Maybe you just slept badly. Coffee fixes all of those.

Nothing is free though, and soon, you'll discover your sleep is not the best pretty much every day of the week. That, in turn, forces you to consume more caffeine, and thus the addiction cycle begins.

Interestingly, after being 3 months caffeine free, I succumbed to the pressure and started drinking some amount of caffeine again (work needs to be done, caffeine makes it easier to concentrate -> it's really difficult to say no).

I would encourage everyone to examine their relationship with this particular drug. It's insane to me that the population in 1800s was already so addicted to the drug that the lack "plugs" threaten to lose the civil war.

I put in a description of Uber, then updated my prompt with the alternative suggestions over and over again. What I ended up with was this:

"An app to partner people with a mixture of private, non judgemental AI systems and certified financial coaches and mentors from the local community to teach a practical, personalized financial literacy wellness boosting course, with investment resources and the ability to track and automate the budgeting of their finances independently. One that doesn't give patronising or condescending advice like stop buying avocado toast. Maybe with gamification rewards when necessary."

The AI still roasted it's own idea, then put the same one as it's alternative suggestion.

I remember being obsessed with this system, too. It was more like a legend than a system. Everyone knew someone that knows someone with a Neo Geo. It was never within my reach to play one. A $600 system with $200 games in the 90s? But they were all arcade-level and only the richest kid (or kid whose parents were competing after a messy divorce) had one.

I've long been kind of fascinated by Ari Emanuel. If he were a video game character his stats would be like: high intelligence, high charisma, high work ethic, zero morality, zero ethics, zero empathy. I suspect the world at large is fortunate that he spent his life extracting billions from the entertainment industry rather than doing something more harmful like going into politics.

All that said, it's hilarious that he'd call someone else untrustworthy. Peak "pot calling the kettle black" moment here. Sam probably refused to pay him some massive fee or partner with him in a lucrative (for him) way, so now we'll get months of attack pieces.
I'm inclined to trust Raymond Chen and John Regehr on these matters, so if you assert that they're incorrect here then a source to back up your assertion would help your argument.
In the late 2010's, my startup built a messaging app with millions of daily users sending and receiving >1B messages a month, (somewhere north of 300 messages/sec, IIRC) with a trailing 12 month average uptime of our systems of 99.995%

When we were going through due diligence as part of being acquired by a large tech company, I had to answer a lot of questions about our infrastructure and to "prove" that our boring tech stack could actually achieve this.

That "stack" was 3 pods (2 in one AWS region, 1 in another) comprised of 4 Linux boxes and 3 Windows boxes.

In a stack, Linux boxes were 2 monitoring servers and 2 app servers running an OSS SW package, while the Windows boxes were two app servers running our .NET APIs, and a SQL server.

Fail over was handled by SQL cluster at DB level and ELB at the app level.

While the stack and code were boring, a lot of work went into performance, reliability, and observability.

After we were acquired, my new infra budget was based on their own modeling for scale, resulting in a monthly AWS budget that was 10X my previous annual budget.

The community was smaller back then, and the four freedoms were generally considered fundamental. That was absolutely the case with the founding of the OSI, which Peterson took active part in.

If Peterson has a different opinion, you should ask her and tell her own story. Making her the figurehead of your own crusade is not helpful.
1. "Project" sounds good too.

2. With a small change, I can make the frontend use the window.location URL if none is set. On the backend, the catch is emails. Emails with link use the APP_URL to build it.

3. I do not really think "backup" belongs to the UI, but there is a possibility. I plan to work on HTML and Markdown exports. We have what it takes already from the editor.

3. Latex and Comments do not use the Tiptap Pro extensions, so it's fine. Also, the comment extension is entirely different from Tiptap's own which depends on Tiptap Cloud to work.

Storage did become cheaper and more compact. Both flash drives and SD cards offer this functionality and showed significant improvements.

Whatever innovative use cases people could come up with to store TBs of data in physical portable format is served by these. And along the way the world has shifted to storing data more cheaply and conveniently on the cloud instead.

IPod being a special purpose device , with premium pricing (for average global consumer) and proprietary connectors and software would not have made a compelling economic case to over-spec it in hopes that some unforseen killer use case might emerge from the market.
Depends on the company. In many areas companies are required to not discriminate against disabled employees. Just like your physical space must be accessible, your digital tools must be too. Otherwise you would might, say, pass on a more experienced and knowledgeable blind candidate in favor of a less qualified sighted person, because your internal tools can’t be used independently by a blind person.

Lots of companies are technically exposed to the risks related to this kind of thing, could be legitimately sued. But they don’t always recognize this aspect of their exposure.

It seems natural to me that this sort of thing will become more important over time.

More interesting to me though is what prompted your question. Parent requested making things accessible because that’s something as individual they need and benefit from. It wasn’t about how important it might be to “companies”. Individual people need accessibility.
I don’t mind using more energy. Are there any other implications for spamming a beacon?
Please don't, commandline is like the one frontier where I don't have to yell at devs for doing that kind of thing and locking people out by accident too often. It'd be rather ironic to have braille of all things become an accessibility barrier :) Disclaimer: fully blind developer and accessibility expert.
I used to swipe, but I moved off it. Two thumbs are twice as fast as one for me, and SwiftKey, for all its faults, is magic in understanding what you meant to tap.

I literally just blindly tap around in the general vicinity of the key I want to press, and SwiftKey outputs the right word.

All I word is a keyboard that does that, without the bullshit. SwiftKey is extremely infuriating because it's 99% close to perfect, but it has some ridiculous things like always replacing "my" with "NY" and there is absolutely no way to make it forget the word "NY", no matter how many times you say "forget this word and never predict it".

How hard can it be to add word deletion from the dictionary?! It really annoys me how close it gets to perfection but shoots itself in the foot by word deletion not working.

FUTO, please, please make a SwiftKey that works. I'll pay you $20 for a lifetime license.

> Lawyers are pretty good at finding reasons to appeal against judgements.

Good ones sure are. But OP saying "Google should appeal" implies OP is aware of one solid such reason, a reason why the French court was wrong, and Google was wrong to comply. Instead they just mentioned precedents, lower courts, or that you're free to ignore a legal court order because there's no "DNS regulation".

I get that Google has a vested interest to find any way to make it work because it supports their business. But OP's statement sounded to me more like "I don't understand the law but don't like the result so it should be changed", with no solid reasoning of any kind at the time of the statement.
I really miss physical keyboards. This issue only occurs because we're poor at controlly which part of our big sausage fingers actually make contact with the screen.

> It may be that vitamins do improve all of those things and would improve mortality as a consequence but something else keeps mortality the same, for example heart disease and cancer.

Are you saying that vitamins have improved mortality over time but increasing heart disease and cancer rates have balanced that out over time? If so, that's not what's being talked about here. The study in the article is comparing people who take multivitamins with people who don't, not looking at the overall rate in multivitamin usage compared to mortality over time in the entire population.

Or are you saying that people who take vitamins are more likely to have heart disease and cancer? That can be an issue in this type of study but there's no reason to think that's true. If anything, I think there is a concern that the confounding factors go in the opposite direction, where people who take vitamins are more likely to do other things that improve their health like exercise more. However, the study in the article also controlled for various potential confounding factors like BMI and physical activity.

Well, per [1], it increases dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and other chemicals in the brain. It is highly unlikely that it has no effect on one's decision making (esp. when you take it when you are _not_ very tired). It's more likely that you don't notice the effects, but the effects would likely be measurable.

It's the same with caffeine. I'd wager a guess that most people don't think it influences their decision making... And yet it seems it does (e.g. [2]).

Williston's Law
Judges make absurd and abusive rulings all the time though too. It seems to just be a shift from a 3-letter agency to a random person who is even less accountable and certainly not knowledgeable about any particular area outside of the interpretation of the law, generally speaking.

As more power and authority moves to the judiciary and away from Congress, we’ll have more politically appointed judges installed specifically to issue rulings on cases to circumvent congress or its delegated agencies to enact legislation. I’m not sure why we think that fishermen being forced to pay for the government inspectors is any less likely to happen under this new system. A judge can just issue the same ruling based on their interpretation. Maybe it’s easier to impeach or recall a judge. Idk. It seems like a bad idea to turn the judiciary into a political football with all the instability and inefficiency that will cause.

Like so many things it’s like people have forgotten we have things pretty good and we shouldn’t change them without really good reason. A bit of a conservative idea there I know, but law and public policy don’t benefit from disruption like technology and business tend to.

But I’m open-minded here. I’d genuinely love to hear others thoughts and initial reactions to this. This was mine.

These feelings started for me in my early thirties too. It sounds like typical burnout. Working the corporate life is soul-sucking, so don't discount the influence of that on your mental wellbeing. The repetition, the bullshit (I'm looking at you Scrum), the competitiveness, the politics, and feelings of imposter syndrome, it all has the power to wear you down to a nub, and after a while you begin to question what it's all for. The bottomline is the pay check is the only reason you stay, because you need a livelihood. This causes you to feel trapped and joyless. And, in my case at least, and it sounds like possibly yours, we derived meaning and satisfaction from our work earlier in our careers and are struggling with the fact that this is no longer the case. I've come to realize that for me, part of this was due to my own naiveté in the beginning of my career and I'll probably never recapture those early days of starting a Monday with vim and vigor. I think the term for this is jaded.

I saw a video pop into my feed the other day which was timely, discussing this very subject. Maybe you'll find something useful in it, or at the very least find it relatable:

I don't know if this is useful to you. I haven't tried to install MIT Scheme directly on macOS. Instead, I'm using the sample project at [1] to run a linux VM with Fedora on macOS x86-64. I was able to install MIT Scheme and scmutils on the VM by following the instructions at [2][3][4][5] for CentOS. It appears to have succeeded but I haven't really worked with the system yet.

I haven't tried the instructions for ARM-based macOS at [6] because I'm still on Intel.

It's less convenient to run a VM than to run on macOS directly. But I prefer to sandbox "random" software that way, and some things support linux better than macOS.

Interestingly, the same guy also works on making 'theory-only' algorithms work well in practice [1]. But, it seems like that takes another 20 years -- [1] is building on a theory breakthrough from 2004 [2], but these algorithms are only starting to work in practice in 2024, IIUC. I guess that means there's hope for practical min-cost flow algorithms in 2044.
