Also thinking about only the CO2 is such a narrow thing. We’ve disturbed natural ecosystems in so many ways- bees pollination, animal migration, natural predators and so on.
So the study says it increases activity. But it also says: “Effects for other physiological (blood pressure, cholesterol, and glycosylated haemoglobin) and psychosocial (quality of life and pain) outcomes were typically small and often non-significant.” so what’s the point of the extra activity?
Alignment of incentives is fine. But if the school goes insolvent on older debt someone else will take over repayment and current students will suffer even if new curriculum is better
The statement: “Fannie and Freddie ignore much of what borrowers owe, allowing them to qualify for huge mortgages.” I honestly don’t see anything wrong in that per se. If you have a large and sufficient source of income to service both debts why wouldn’t they?
This is already explained in the article- it shifts the burden on the honest consumer and in many cases is actually already illegal. In other words in no way is it a good development if I have to buy a service of questionable legality from some questionable 3rd party just to keep my browsing private like I want to.
If you don’t want to stop using CloudFlare or need a temporary solution ask your users from Egypt to use VPN- many already do as they come across similar problems for other services
To be precise this should be called one meeting day work week.
For many knowledge workers this should be the default too - 4 days of deep work and 1 day agreeing on the scope of the work etc
Sure sometimes you may need feedback in the middle but it can wait or maybe the person you are interrupting is a project manager etc
Because they are not. There’s no inherent value so classing them as securities makes a lot of sense- just like derivatives and other financial instruments
Well that was pretty shallow. Only a single pattern was included and even that performed worse than the index. If you were to include the transaction costs and the cost of time spent analysing that, the perf would be even worse.
So a shallow article with a wrong conclusion.
Since past returns are not a reliable indicator for future returns any back testing will only show if a thing would have worked in the past not in the future.
Further, as Kosovo is an extremely corrupt country, we are able to bribe both executive and judicative as well as getting information about court orders and raids before execution, enabling us to move servers out of the affected location, protecting our clients in any situation.
Probably the boomers are not liquidating their stock market assets until very last minute - after all it’s pretty liquid so personally I would only sell if I really needed the money or had an a idea of where else to put it for a better short term return.
Many boomers also have rental income from properties and other forms of savings.
Finally on average people of that generation tend to save more than they need and still have money leftover when dying.
So based on that I would say don’t expect heavy liquidation from the boomers ever.
On the specific point of XML being for everything it was not meant to be.
It was a document format and the extensible part meant you could have an island of SVG in your XHTML and it was all still a well formed XML.
But some people ran away with the idea and extended it to uses that should have never been done in XML such as streaming.
I was kind of waiting for the day where a touchscreen based app would be more productive than a traditional laptop with keyboard.
Yet, after many years all we got is fruit ninja and a concession from apple in the form of attachable keyboard for the iPad.
So I’m equally sceptical that the investment in headset based interface is actually worth it.
So looks like 30 people got hired from a decade of posting both threads every month ;)
As someone said here still a better Signal to Noise ratio than elsewhere
Also by the time US loses its privileged position it will already be too late to reinvest elsewhere without losses. So many funds are already moving money to China and elsewhere. Having said that China etc have their own economic and demographic problems so nowhere seems safe at the moment.
I’m pretty sure Apple wants to rule a new product category with better margins and no existing users.
With laptops and increasingly phones and tablets most potential customers already have a thing from that category so it’s becoming harder and harder to sell and the profit margins and volumes are becoming smaller.
So Apple is desperate to create a new category.
At least on AWS it is kind of hard to get 40 tiny VMs with sufficient speed on the infra side. Given that laptops get 40+ vCores these days, I think a single instances od anything should have some multi threading.
Another way to look at it is how much money can you set aside for any situation. Be it SV but living in a tiny apartment or elsewhere, make sure to save money no matter what so you can always have the freedom to move out of a bad situation
I work for a db vendor and Acid compliance (also implemented with MVCC) is a big selling point.
Yet, most use cases I later see don’t require such rigid controls on updates.
This means customers are paying for this as transactionally consistent updates are more expensive than eventually consistent ones.
