Crashed my machine. (Annoying as I was distraction browsing while waiting for a model training). Maybe that's a feature for Non-US people.

Nitpick or two. Holborn in London was a little earlier. Also neither was really a grid. That took another ~45 years. Maybe that's better for your argument - but I'm not quite sure that the analogy fully holds - as it's a different class of infrastructure problem.

Interactive brokers is real

> Fourth you must bet big.

No. You must bet right - and it depends on how right you are. Look up the Kelly criterion. Bet 1 - 2*probablity of losing of your current pot - will maximize expected return (but is a bit volatile for some tastes)

The only source for the "I refuse to see a pimp in the mirror in the morning when I shave." quote that I can find is Drucker hmself.

The German Ambassador didn't resign in 1906. Maybe it was a deputy or a different country, or it's just made up?

They're a (quite sour) eating apple. Bramleys are better cookers.

Nice try to bring in some EU bashing. But Switzerland isn't a part of it.

Obligatory counterexample, comedies. A quickfire screwball classic like "His Girl Friday" has lots of smart lines per minute where recent Hollywood ones will have two jokes in 90mins that they've had to put into the trailer, and slow build ups so that everybody can get the lame joke.

It's not so much the language as the horrible layout - with all the navigation at the left leaving the text so small.

The reported lower vitamin D levels in more severe RA are more likely to be consequence than cause. Our data do not support vitamin D supplementation as a direct therapeutic intervention to modify RA outcome,

Vaguely competent financial management is by no means assured. I suggest reading Tim Geithner's "Stress Test" to to see how hard he had to fight to get some basic things done.

Agreed if you're making a web page.

However there are lots of us writing applications which are delivered by browser. With that lens you're completely wrong. Then I do want to send json from the backend and have lots of behaviour in the frontend viewing that in different ways.

So basically it's the differences between web pages and applications.

Truth is that there aren't many other sensible ways to deliver applications any more. All big companies still have windows machines - but MS broke all of the ways of writing applications on windows so going to the browser makes sense and you get some cross platform ability - plus you get to move it to the cloud.

No. Every golang stdlib proxy I've tried to use is a toy. They very inefficiently copy the message body and the memory behaviour is just horrible. Try posting a 10MB message. (That's actually not a lot for modern technology) and it will grind to a halt.

Nice try millenials. But the boomers grew up in times of lower car ownership and general road traffic - so while there was leaded petrol - the exposure to lead wasn't necessarilly so high. What do we call the generation of around 1980? Late Gen-X? They're probably the ones at most risk.

Nice to see some love for wavelets. They're great for many more things. Robust volatility measurement, galerkin methods for numerical solutions to differential equations in finance. Just please don't use a Haar wavelet for anything other than teaching.

I'd really like some kind of architecture picture describing what runs where. Regardless of whether it's promoting the cloud service why would I want that to run a rPi service? A picture might explain that.
