you can add the sailing frenchman -- great mix of caribean sailing, singlehanded racing, pretty down to earth:

I suppose it's time to share my dream excel functionality: Turbo F2.

F2 should enable the user to trace calculations back to the original data, not only the current calculation step.

In basis spreadsheet, this would yield a jumble of steps that are undocumented and hard to parse. But that's where the python, lambdas and custome functions come in: They enable legibility of turboF2.

The meritocracy trap, David markovits.

Super nice. A feature request: for each time zone, show the offset to sun time. Helps with the question: will 8am be like I expect it to be ?

Useful for outdoors activities.

I'll take this opportunity to ask for help: What's a good open source transcription and diarization app or work flow?

I looked at https://github.com/thomasmol/cog-whisper-diarization and https://about.transcribee.net/ (from the people behind Audapolis) but neither work that well -- crashes, etc.

Thank you!

Step 1 for all sailing outings. Super well integrated with most forecast providers… and for everyone else, better radar than the Weather app on IOS.

But the typical choice is between disability and unemployment benefits, not disability and work. How do they compare ?

The UK has an order of magnitude more people it considers disable than neighboring France, last I checked (15years ago).

When reading these stats, two useful things to do:

- ask yourself how people in similar situations would be categorized in other countries

- whether there are benefits to self selecting as economically disabled in the UK

92£/MWh in 2012 £, and indexed in inflation - on mobile and can’t adjust but we’re talking 120-130 now.

Looks like sampling on the dependent variable.

Aka the screwdriver’s turn policy.

I'm a glass half full kinda of kind, but for excel, the glass is Feb 1st. Please, types would really help. Maybe as a property of named ranges ?

I just set up zrepl yesterday and this was going to be my next task. Super glad to find this here. I already have a borg-enabled account with you: Is it possible for a single account to do both borg and zfs send?

Concurring with Tailscale's ease of use, though for mobile clients I found it was more reliable to have a wireguard accessible tailscale peer rather than rely on Tailscale's app.

How about adding a 'most favored nation' clause in all options contracts?

No new decisions to build nuclear 10 years prior to three mile island.

EDF's latest non-EPR design in France took over 10 years to build, in the 1990's. The safety requirements to protect against nuclear releases and the inherent complexity are the key factors.

In the 70s.

92.50 GBP in 2012 pounds -- it's higher now.

An interesting read and resource going forward, thank you.

Can you point us to official U.S. policy that leads to differentiated outcomes of immigration processing speed between nationalities?

are there any real use case?

Writing Bloomberg's "market wrap" articles.

I don't know enough - merely rephrasing a blog post here - but it sounds fair to say that this reduces the primary benefit of network effects of market activity, higher liquidity/lower spread, at the expense of the rest of the market.

Could we construct a reasonable scenario where the liquidity from segregated order flow would have displaced the core business of liquidity providers, because the volume is so large?

Let me see if I can rephrase.

Robinhood solves a collective action problem for its users. Unbeknownst to some people, they are unsophisticated and cheap to provide liquidity to: market makers can trade with them and reliably offload their positions, reducing the risk premium necessary to make market making profitable. Robinhood advertises in a fashion that enables self-selection of unsophisticated buyers. Once the platform is sufficiently large, they can auction off the liquidity business. By regulation, the users can never be worse off than they would have otherwise been, because liquidity providers must run their bid-ask spread within the larger market's spread.

So Robinhood earns the difference in risk premium between the larger market and that of its user base, minus operating costs and profits of the liquidity provider.

I suppose the question is: what is the mechanism by which that profit margin can be transferred to users?

"tighter spread" is a description of the benefit for the retail buyer/seller. Can you elaborate on the benefits to the buyer of order flows?

Are we so brainwashed that we barely can feel outrage at a title like this? How about privacy as a basic human right?

Jia Tolentino's pieces often resonate, in that particular way of things that are at the right distance to what they are talking about: close enough to understand them but far enough to show their place in time and space, culturally.

Should we talk about JFK being under water as well? see NY map.

How do we avoid them while sailing? Does it have AIS? Standard port/stardboard lights? Aft lights? the mast looks low for reliable light or radio signal.

Countries can unilaterally have taxes based on the share of total company profit generated in the country, rather than just profit in the country.
