Some folks seem to be able to switch and keep their old ability and some can't. I was able to switch back to Qwerty pretty easily, but it made my wrists contort in such odd ways that I never noticed before. So I…
I don't find myself to be any faster in Dvorak (70 wpm, like before) and from other users and people online, that seems to be typical. There are some possible gains at the high end, since from what I read most of the…
Seems like a pretty good analysis. I've been using Dvorak for 20+ years also. The keyboard shortcuts thing is annoying, though I hadn't heard about the wrist strain they cause. I didn't see this discussed, but I…
"Some special circumstances" can also mean where stock prices go down low enough to bring employees below their compensation target. It doesn't happen much lately at tech companies because the stocks are soaring, but it…
As mentioned in the article, it's because it's based off of Paul Ekman's facial recognition work (FACS), which infers a person's emotional state based on their facial expression. The only reliable markers Ekman found…
This article reads like a longform version of why statistical power/effect size is important but doesn't mention it by name, only alluding to it. I suspect there would be much less of a replication crisis if, instead of…
Just let me pay more for a non-ads version. Worked just fine for Amazon Kindle products.
Probably investment banking.
I always thought Hofstadter's argument (I see he's discussed elsewhere in this thread) was that consciousness was a convenient illusion, which is kind of like the idea that it's a feeling here. And that the key insight…
Another accidental method I found was leaving Javascript off by default. It's a bit more granular since websites experience different levels of breakage (if any) without JS. But it makes me similarly thoughtful. I can't…
You can also contact Customer Service about stuff like this and they'll handle it and that feedback often makes it back to the teams responsible. There's not a lot of CS contacts in Prime Video compared to retail but…
The training is quite heavy on the sales pitch, I agree (and expensive). There were some useful bits if you dig around though.
I appreciate the explanations, thanks. I don't have the trading context. Seems like tail risk or Black Swan events yet again. I hope they made enough money on these shorts that it wasn't "picking up pennies in front of…
Right, seems like a similar problem to banks and leverage. People can short more in aggregate than exists the same way the money multiplier exists for banks. But there are bank runs and it's built on trust, so that's…
So it seems the issue is that people have borrowing agreements that can be recalled early (seems like it functions like a margin call in a way). Call it half-naked shorting, I guess. Still seems risky. I feel like they…
Am I missing something in the Gamestop news that isn't "hedge fund gambles billions on naked shorts and loses"? That seems like a real blunder on their part. In other contexts we would just call this gambling, I think.…
I agree, the title is misleading. This doesn't have the traditional hallmarks of money laundering since the scheme is mostly transparent and fradulent. It's really just a scam.
I also use ReviewMeta and it does handle review hijacking. It's not a great experience as a customer, but if I combine ReviewMeta and Amazon reviews and search I still get pretty good products. My basic guidelines are…
I suspect that one day we're going to have to start logging into our TVs, and that will be a terrible day.
SARs are merely suspected illicit activity. The feds investigate and see if the claims have merit. They can also have varying degrees of severity which can affect account closure decisions.
If you have Spotify, you can also do this through offline syncing, but it's annoying to figure out. Less dodgy than this solution, though. https://support.spotify.com/us/article/Listen-to-local-files... Spotify has…
The UI isn't perfect, but the overall grade is fail even above the fold, which almost always means I won't buy the product.
I see people mentioning Fakespot, I also recommend ReviewMeta and use it often: https://reviewmeta.com/
You're of course right that it's hard to know (but not impossible to know) the permanent effects of a novel virus (because the damage could be like other diseases/conditions we've seen). Brain damage is just as…
It's not just about the death rate, the long-term/permanent damage being caused (lung damage, senses, brain damage) and the fact that immunity doesn't seem to help much (perhaps a year) are other factors to consider.…
