Do you have any recommendations for wireguard providers? I'd love to try it out, but I don't want to host my own server.

I just about dumped PIA for the same reason. Downloaded their newest update, and it is soooo much better.

The most prominent programming languages designed specifically for mathematical purposes (Mathematica, MatLab, Julia, R, Fortran), all have 1-based indexing. That should be a sign to you that 1-based indexing has a legitimate mathematical r

Why? You've already come to the conclusion that anybody that disagrees with you is an idiot, and you think your argument is fully reasoned and covers all bases. Why should I believe that you would change your mind given new information

It sounds like you haven't considered any of the multiple reasons or situations where 1-based indexing works out better.

If your work defines who you are, then sure. I don't trade as a purpose for my life...I trade to make money, full stop.

It doesnt refute your theory, it's just that your theory applies very specifically to HFT. Alpha generation in HFT is incredibly simple, and HFT analysis typically relies on very basic math: linear regression and recursive filters. HFT

Is anybody else surprised that a 20 person company has the resources and prioritization to create something like this?

Hub and spoke models still dominate for all major carriers. True point to point routes, where neither the origin nor destination are hubs, are an extremely tiny minority of all routes flown. Some regional airlines (such as southwest) fly

Surprise, backroom sweetheart deals between businesses and politicians are wildly unpopular. And it was dumb for Amazon to seek out subsidies anyway. Amazon only needed one criteria to have a successful HQ2: A willingness to accommodate new

It's simple diminishing returns to size efficiency. There's a saying in aviation that goes something like "it takes a lot of fuel to fly a lot of fuel". Even over the course of a single flight, the fuel consumption rate

For an aircraft that is not yet flying, the 777-9 has pretty healthy demand from multiple airlines. Lufthansa, Etihad, Qatar, All Nippon, and Singapore have all placed orders. Iran Airlines as well, although nullified by trade embargoes. Th

Inevitably in comments about the demise of the 747 or A380, people refer to the proliferation of point to point routes. But while point to point routes have grown, hub and spoke routes have grown far more. There is an illusion of the prol

You were the one to make the comparison to other JVM developers. Not sure why you would make the comparison if your whole point was that you can use both. Of course that point is spurious at best. Clojure devs can use java libraries about

The big problem is the corporate tax itself. It's incredibly hard to tax corporations fairly and efficiently, and as a result the corporate tax code is way more complex than any practical citizen could ever understand. It's hard e

Clojure was my first JVM language. It indeed was a nightmare. The java underpinnings affect everything you touch. Trying to use a library that didn't have a stable wrapper was terrible...you have to essentially learn two languages at t

Why would it need to be Linux? I love linux, but mostly because it works well and is open source. I'd love for a big tech company to put their weight behind SEL4. That would go a long way for Microsoft: formally proven security, tiny f

The average daily volume of SPY is ~$15B. If Dell increased that by 1% so as to minimally affect the markets, he could cycle in and out of $27B over the course of a year. Diversified over several index funds, or even creating his own, he

Yes, you can make that argument against any public service. And it is worth discussing for any public service. All public services have benefits, and all of them are capable of being overprovisioned. In the context of schools, literally eve

The real question is not about whether mobility is valuable or not, it is about how valuable it is. When it comes to infrastructure development, we throw tons of other people's money at the problem, but if drivers were paying their ful

I also tend toward the thought that most truck drivers don't need trucks. But people don't buy vehicles based on their median driving behavior, they buy them based on their ability to handle common but not daily needs. I'd ve

It could also be that cleaning hard flooring and cleaning carpets have different levels of overhead. Carpet cleaners are nowhere near the mechanical simplicity of a spinning floor brush. The floor brush probably lasts 20+ years, needing onl

I'm well into the ~16% mentioned in this article, and you hit exactly on the reason why. Other countries may pay 10-20% more for their governments, but they are getting 100-200% more value from it. We pay 4-10x the price of comparable

The article implies through its journalistic voice that this is objectively bad for GB. The fact that capital has left the country does not have any implication towards the rationality of that move. Various questions to ponder: 1) If this i
