Quant firms made more money then WSB did trading on the momentum I'm sure. Do you really think retail was the only one pumping?

I asked the optometrist. He was a little offended that I wasn't going to use the new measurements but I pleaded with him enough that he relented.

One very interesting thing that convinced me to start doing this: if you get measurements taken at night (vs early in the day), your prescriptions will be stronger as your eyes are already tired. So your new glasses may be too strong for you but your eyes will adapt to it and become worse.

Anecdote: I used to get new glasses/prescriptions every year. Every year my prescriptions would get stronger. Last couple of years I stopped renewing my glasses and whenever I absolutely need to get new glasses, I have the store use my old prescription. For whatever reason, my eye sight stopped getting worse. I think by wearing stronger prescriptions, your eyes adapt to it and you get more and more myopic.

I think it's calls + the app itself (Electron?) is slow. After a certain page size is reached, editing becomes unbearably slow which necessitates starting a new page.

It's based on a Fender Blues Jr according to the vid. It sounds pretty good for a free plugin, but as you said there's tons of free VSTs and cheap solid state amps that can do better.

I think it sounds good for a hobby project though!

You can route ALB to Lambda now without APIG. Much cheaper too as you're no longer paying per request.

Caesar died before the Roman empire was established. His adopted son Augustus recreated the republic into an empire and is the first emperor.

They're in a good position as a net creditor nation. While they have a large national debt and have been undergoing QE, they have a steady income stream from treasury bills.

This is brilliant.

I think this is the case. Japanese (and other East Asians) already have a pre-existing mask culture. Wearing a mask is normal over there and is encouraged. They also do not hug, shake hands and have body contact with does that are not family or close friends. Another big factor is that they tend to follow the rules unlike in Italy or America where social distancing suggestions were not taken seriously by a large chunk of the population.

Even with these explanation, I'm still perplexed as trains in Japan are always packed and it's impossible to stay 6-feet away from others when you're travelling in dense cities in Tokyo. You're also constantly touching poles/handles in the train or pushing elevator buttons.

Great write up and tool, can't wait to try it out in my projects. Enjoyed your last write up as well!

That's a brutally long time. My respect goes out to the Flickr engineers working 24/7 to bring it back up.

Very interesting!
