A 40:1 or 70:1 contention ratio doesn't sound unreasonable. Those under-utilising subsidize those over-utilising

Thankfully none of this is live...

One of the ones I hit was a Californian residential suburb and had filmed the neighbours drive and front door.

Most underpaid taxes are collected via a change in tax code for the following year.

It's not about the result. Most people who build these sets get satisfaction from the build process itself. It's a form of therapy.

In theory you could do this with 3rd party verification and zero knowledge proofs orchestrated by the users browser.

Mozilla Persona comes to mind.

This will never happen of course because the objective is to track your every move. The government want to know every pseudonym you use on every website.

Defined benefit pensions schemes ultimately need heavy regulation and a government backstop otherwise failure is inevitable.

That said, they can work great in tandem with the stock market.

The Kensington & Chelsea local government pension scheme in London, here in the UK, is an example.

The local authority (not central government) ultimately has the responsibility on paying out these liabilities, but it's one of the few councils that just dumped their pot in to global equities, and as a result they are 200% funded relative to their commitments and have stopped making further contributions.

The money that was flowing into the pension scheme can now flow in to local services.

I worked at a small firm once where an 18 year old joined and took full advantage of the "unlimited PTO".

He was taking roughly a third of his time off.

Fired inside 6 months, and amazed it took this long.

Index funds follow indices and often only rebalance quarterly

Most sports betting markets have a degree of unpredictability, and bookmakers will ban sharps (those falling outside the statistical norm or continually hitting lines just before the market moves).

Betting on a final score in most markets is fine.

When betting gets extremely narrow and specific e.g. "Player X will be subbed on for Player Y" it gets morally dubious.

There is a lot of overlap with insurance markets. The incentives have to be aligned (life insurance) with sensible guard rails against abuse (cooling off periods to be covered for suicide)

I just reply with "Is this AI? I'd rather you replied yourself"

I'm not sure how hitching a ride with another space agency is a huge achievement. For her personally yes, but it's hardly national pride stuff, is it?

That said, she had an OBE, so has been recognised.

"free-float adjusted" is the key term

€2M isn't "unfold amounts of money"

It's enough for a modest retirement.

Still blows my mind that Americans have to do this.

In the UK almost nobody needs to "file their takes" and if you do you just do it online without the need for software.

Heterogenous containers are a performance killer for all kinds of other reasons.

A vector of variants still wouldn't be optimal. Better to use something like

The big problem with virtual calls is it hinders inlining, but if you design your API correctly that can usually be optimised away by design (put loops inside the call, don't call inside a loop)

> everything is statically known unless you explicitly ask for it to be virtual.

This is true in C++ also...

It's still the most convenient way to implement type erasure, so no.

Qt made this pretty easy 10 years ago

Ironically the CGNAT at my ISP is so broken at peak times the only way I can actually use the internet is via a VPN (presumably because I then only occupy one connection tracking slot on the NAT)

I'm also stuck in a 2 year ISP contract

It is of course inconceivable that the NSA do not have the private keys for dozens of browser trusted certificate authorities

That nonetheless doesn't help them unless they are doing active MITM. In order to do that they'd have to have at least some physical presence at Cloudflare or on the path to Cloudflare.

The important thing is to raise the question and have the discussion. By asking the question, you're not precluding the experiment.

And then those areas become more expensive...

To do new things no number of humans can do

Constructors and destructors are also just function calls in C++

And you can't forget to type defer

That's significantly more challenging for an LLM (and a human)

"Fucking brilliant" = I'm so sick of this shit, fuck my life

"absolutely fantastic" also works

Thank you for buying their books

It's like an amplification attack.

Nothing you describe is recognisable to me. It just seems like you chose to work at bad places.
