What happens if the value of the underlying asset depreciates?

Here’s a hypothetical:

- I own $100 of stock in Company A.

- The First International Bank of efsavage decides to accept that $100 in stock as collateral on a loan. So I pay taxes assuming a value of $100.

- When I dispose of the stock, it is only worth $80.

Will that be a retroactive credit, meaning that I will have to amend my tax return in the year that I collateralized those assets? Would it be a forward tax credit, meaning that I could apply that credit to future years?

I worry about this both from a bookkeeping point of view (since this is potentially a lot of credits) but also worry the ways it could be manipulated.
It could go either way honestly. The "performance" governor tries to max out the CPU clock rate all the time but because of transient thermal capacity this is not always optimal. The CPU will rip as hard as possible even under powersave, and it might hit a higher transient peak because it starts out cold.

Just a note: Forget about it. When child is there, wife loses all interest in such activities. Been there, done that. I can aford holidays everywhere on earth ( ok maybe not Antarctis :) ), but no, missus stays home and asks that I just stay home ( we actually bought one ) with her and the kids. No holidays, just short trips outside city.
Being an old grey beard you probably know these... but for others:

> * Final punctuation within the quote at the end of sentence (Did you just say "what?") can be placed after the final quote if the quote is for a literal string (ie, The password is "123456".)

Prior to movable type printing presses, the British "logical quotation" system was the norm for English.

This changed, and is credited to american newspapers, because of movable type. I've heard different reasoning (from being less likely to break, or to looking cleaner), but both point to printers. Even the alternate name for this quotation style is "typesetters quotation." <== the period inside the quote to end that sentence!

Being a form of mass media, this meant that a lot of mass produced works now 'promoted' by proxy this typesetters quotation style.

> * Moving away from verbed nouns ("Google it") to multipart verbs ("search it up").

This is purely branding. In the US, if people say "Google it", it creates a synonym between "Google" and "Search", which hurts cases for Google in defending their brand... If it gets too weak, then you or I could make a "Google Booster" company, which focuses on improving search engine rankings in general -- not just Google, and with no direct business relation with Google

Surely, it is helpful to consider the achievement in terms of the contest setup to detect a Nobel-worthy breakthrough: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CASP

It moved the needle so much in terms of baseline capability. Let alone Nobel’s original request: positive impact to humanity; well deserved.

In biology/medicine it is still awed like coming from a different planet; tech before was obviously that lacking.
All things considered they were not necessarily superior for the tasks at hand.

I am just shocked at how different our experiences are. I wonder what leads to the vast gulf? Could your results be better due to what you are searching or is the algorithm producing different results for each of us, based on other Google cues?
If this was Go, instead of making a breaking change they would opt for a linter rule or a go vet directive.

This is the sensible approach IMO to handle a hazardous programming construct. Warn people about it and give them the choice to shoot their foot.

XDG is so bad. There was actually a working best practice before those people came around.

Not only did they fragment the ecosystem with their self-defined standards, their standard contains a whole search path with the priority hierarchy baggage, but unspecified enough that all software does it differently.

How can Amazon not be an obvious target? Many people say "it's just a website/store/marketplace". This is obviously wrong, but even if that was all they had I believe they use their monopoly position to crush any potential competition. Their model is essentially (the already monstrous) Walmart model at internet scale.

At some point in the future no one will be using x86 or any variation, and we will all be using a secure architecture. Same as with insecure languages, far enough in the future, every language in common use will be safe.

For a damn brain implant I don't see why they wouldn't.

From what I have seen, it is Discord's closed nature, their decision not to police their own communities very much, combined with the fact that it's a great product.

edit after 1 upvote: I should add that I believe that Discord has an immense amount of moderation-debt.

Due to its closed nature, there aren't external eyeballs on the communities so things can really fester. At some point, that can boil-over into IRL, like they appear to have just done in Turkey.
Fortunately the votes on the poll for this look to very much be against the PEP's proposal.

I don't mind Python being improved, but as we learned from the 2->3 transition it should not be changed in ways that break old code. All that will do is have people forever sitting on an old version of Python. That's a worse situation that having code with bare excepts.
I work on code that uses `pid` pervasively, and it would drive me crazy if someone insisted I write out `processId` every time. Same with `tx` or `rx` for channel endpoints, `i` for loop variables, `txId` or `tid` for transaction ID in databases, etc. If something is very common in the domain you're working in it's more annoying _not_ to abbreviate it.
Exactly this. I totally agree. It's incredible to think that some people still run python 2 scripts; something unpalatable to the point of being nauseating for a day-to-day python programmer, but totally understandable in the context of incidental usage by a scientist dealing with legacy systems.

If these things start happening to python 3 on a larger scale, might as well throw in the towel and go for python 4.

Thank you for this. I appreciate that this (classic) article lays bare the essence of FP without the usual pomp and "use Lisp/Scheme/Haskell already" rhetoric. My takeaway is that FP is mostly about using functions w/o side effects (pure), which can be achieved in any programming language provided you're diligent about it.
Even the biased Wikipedia article you cited calls it a protest.

> Protesters invade the National Congress of Brazil

There were plenty of reasons to doubt the results, and these judges made numerous contributions to those reasons with their actions. They resisted two attempts from our representatives to add an anonymous paper trail to the "unquestionable" voting machines. They disproportionately censored Bolsonaro and his supporters in the months leading up to the election, called everything they said "fake news". Then they rendered him ineligible due to his perfectly reasonable criticism of the voting machines, out of all the stupid things he said. Then they went to public events to show off about it and say they were personally responsible for defeating him. How do you expect people to accept this as legitimate?

As far as I'm concerned, these judges launched the real and successful coup all the way back in 2019 when they usurped power and created a secret tribunal to investigate, prosecute, judge, sentence and punish crimes against themselves. The constitution says that secret tribunals are prohibited, yet they get away with it because they're the highest court and there's no one who can override them. Politicians who can impeach these judges are no doubt corrupt and all it takes to intimidate them is the unearthing of some scandal they were no doubt part of. Thus our representatives do not matter, the laws they write do not matter, these unelected judges do whatever they want and police obeys them. Power does not emanate from us, it is concetrated in their pens.

Due to this context, I see those people as blameless protesters of an unjust system who went on to become political prisoners of these judges. Who are you supposed to turn to when you believe the supreme court is violating the constitution? These fools turned to the "heroic" brazilian military and begged them on their knees to sort this mess out. The rest is history.

Although I'm not deeply familiar with the specifics of this particular case, it raises broader questions about the industry that specializes in outsourcing, particularly to countries like India. If outsourcing is a core part of a company's business model, isn’t it inevitable that more jobs will continue to be funneled to countries like India, and, consequently, to Indian workers?

While I understand this particular case involves allegations of discrimination within U.S. offices, the larger trend seems unavoidable. As companies prioritize cost-efficiency, it may no longer make economic sense for citizens of HCOL countries, to seek employment with such firms. Similarly, these companies are likely incentivized to constantly try and minimize the number of high-cost employees—whether they are Indians on H1B visas or American citizens—on their payroll.

This raises a concern about whether the government should intervene to address this industry trend of outsourcing. However, if we look at what happened with manufacturing and China, one wonders if such intervention will ever come, or if the shift is already inevitable.
I think an important detail here is that Rosetta did something beyond traditional homology models- it basically shrank the size of the alignments to small (n=7 or so?) sequences and used just tiny fragments from the PDB, assembled together with other fragments. That's sort of fundamentally distinct from homology modelling which tends to focus on much larger sequences.
You and I seem to have interpreted the article differently.

I read it as static sites are simpler, but paradoxically less popular because the additional parts of hosting a website are hard (getting a domain, hosting, deploying).

> So once you have all the infrastructure in place to support that it's not really any more complicated to make your customers' webpages dynamic as well.

To me, this is the exact problem the article is pointing out, lol.

99% of website could be a simple static page, but instead waste resources with complex CMS, database, caching, heavy front end layer, etc.

It doesn't limit itself to markdown, nor to git (you can use darcs, hg, or even sqlite). A bit long in the tooth, though -- I stopped working on it once spam started to make self-hosted public wikis untenable.
And it is not just the US. In the UK from my limited experience visiting they use a mess of different units commonly. Certainly not all in on metric.
There is a similar solution in SurrealCMS[1], where the user will edit their website pages in complete WYSIWYG. It works perfectly for clients who are not programmers, and should replace WordPress for about 99% of websites (except for blogs of course).

There is no reason at all for WordPress, it just became popular because people online were recommending it to each other without a thought as to why. I myself was one of these small time web devs, thinking that user editable pages would require such complicated NASA back-ends that WordPress was the only solution. In the end WordPress has been a huge net-negative on the economy as a whole, for all time wasted.

I feel that most people instinctively assume that some institution, e.g. the government or the dictionary publishers are the authority on what constitutes "correct language". It's important to emphasize that language (included spelling) is something that develops organically and that the role of these institutions is just to capture the status quo.

At least that should be the case in free societies. Language is power - and controlling it is an important aspect of exercising control.
If it comes down to an old guy who loves trains and a younger west coast lawyer I think I'll stick with the trains. They're all politicians first though, so does it really make a difference?
> Most importantly, the culling of 300 line judges means fewer part-time opportunities for trained officials and it will affect the pathway of aspiring chair umpires. Many chair umpires started off as line officials.

Hope this new "joint strategy" works because it sounds like they're setting themselves up for poor chair officiating.
The case with Eliezer Masliah is nuts and it might have been on the front page a week ago or so. The guy had 800 papers over several decades. Now over a hundred of his papers are in question? So this basically casts doubt on all of his research. Where was the skepticism and review before? None of his colleagues or coauthors noticed? The guy should be in jail.

I agree wholeheartedly. Maybe we would get a comeback for text-oriented websites too.
Why did I imagine that this would be about two shapes that are merely topologically n-balls, each having part of their boundary be incident with one of the two hemi(n-1)-spheres of the boundary of an n-ball (and otherwise not intersecting it)? (So like, in 3D, if you took some ball and two lumps of clay of different colors, and smooshed each piece of clay over half of the surface of the ball, with each of the two lumps of clay remaining topologically a 3-ball.)

I don’t know that there would even be anything interesting to say about that.
Valid reasons for backwards incompatible changes to language syntax:

1. The language guarantees have become inconsistent, and the syntax breaks security boundaries or realtime guarantees that the language explicitly promises, and it is unfixable.

2. The universe of all written code is small enough that there are guarantees the syntax is unused, or we can change all instances of the syntax in an atomic manner.

Invalid reasons for backwards incompatible language changes:

1. Everything else.

Seems like splitting hairs to me. If the estate is put into an LLC or similar then the death of a member doesn't involve movement of money. If the estate is owned by an individual and then inherited by their beneficiary then money moved from the deceased to the living. The Family is not a legal unit; the beneficiary doesn't have direct benefit of ownership while the owner of the estate lives.

And work of the WP Engine developers would be directed by Wordpress.org, which is just Matt, not the foundation.

From https://automattic.com/2024/wp-engine-term-sheet.pdf:

Fee. In exchange for the License Grant, WP Engine shall do one of the following:

(a) Pay Automattic a royalty fee equal to 8% of its Gross Revenue on a monthly basis, within fifteen days
of the end of each month. "Gross Revenue" means all revenue generated by WP Engine from the
sale of its services, calculated without deductions for taxes, refunds, or other costs. WP Engine will
also provide Automattic a detailed monthly report of its Gross Revenue within fifteen days of the
close of each calendar month, including a product line breakdown of all revenues generated.
Automattic will have full audit rights.

(b) Commit 8% of its revenue in the form of salaries of WP Engine employees working on WordPress
core features and functionality to be directed by WordPress.org. WP Engine will provide Automattic
a detailed monthly report demonstrating its fulfillment of this commitment. WordPress.org and
Automattic will have full audit rights, including access to employee records and time-tracking.

(c) Some combination of the above two options.

People some how forgot the concept of accumulated value. It use to be my main argument against platforms. You dump your stuff onthere and then it vanishes into the memory hole entirely by design.

I agree that it’s not premature, for two reasons: First, it’s been 6 years since AlphaFold first won CASP in 2018. This is not far from the 8 years it took from CRISPR’s first paper in 2012 to its Nobel Prize in 2020. Second, AlphaFold is only half the prize. The other half is awarded for David Baker’s work since the 1990s on Rosetta and RoseTTAFold.
Estate tax valuations of assets should be made public, particularly the taxed value of professional sports franchises. We know that NFL teams are worth $6+ billion dollars, and seeing the billionaire owner families pay tax on 1/10th of that might infuriate voters enough to demand reform.
>> It's interesting that you mention Rust, since Rust takes backward compatibility quite seriously;

I mentioned Rust because the memory safety guarantees are a significant new thing for a language like that. I forgot about "managed" languages like C# because that's quite far from my mind, but that's another significant attempt at safety. This kind of little detail in the PIP is really insignificant by comparison, so I was speculating that it might be driven by some kind of "save everyone" mentality. If so, wondering if that's a trend lately and I hadn't noticed.

On a positive note, most AI-gen code will follow a style that is very "average" of everything it's seen. It will have its own preferred way of laying out the code that happens to look like how most people using that language (and sharing the code online publicly), use it.
I was thinking more of an equivalent of XOR-ing the image direct from the CCD then using a TPM to do the image processing (edge detection, or whatever). You could deobfuscate by inspecting an individual CCD, but all images passed around would be essentially white-noise?
