That assumes somebody is selling you the put, but options pricing assumes short selling is possible. Puts would be way more expensive if short positions weren't possible.
... which will have to occupy an extremely thin case.

I mean, extreme thinness is not really an important criteria for many, but everything seems to gets compromised to serve that goal.
You're making the assumption that users know YYYY-MM-DD is the date format and not YYYY-DD-MM. I bet if you asked non-developers the answers you would get would be pretty random, probably more errors than the locale on their machine.
This isn't a real criticism, because I understand what they are trying to say but....

"Demand exceeds supply by X%", often a labour related headline, always makes me make the Marge Simpson noise. The framing is a direct contradiction of the main supply & demand theories/concepts. Supply and demand (within theory) are curves not amounts. It grates my circa 2005 economics education.

That said... either definition of supply and demand are arbitrary. It is actually true that in many scenarios, the definition of supply and demand used here (demand is a number) is much more insightful and predictive of what happens in real life. Useful lesson that many/most abstractions and models are useful when they're useful, but we tend to get overly attached to them.

There's a babushka doll element to all this. Divergent economic perspectives defined this industry, and the difference between US policies from (eg) South Korea.

The Korean industrial policy is built on the "demand/supply is a number" concept. US industrial policy built on the "demand/supply is a curve" concept. South Korea subsidized the industry on the assumption that it's a massive growth industry. US policy of this era (circa 2000) expected declining US production as marginal profits declined. They also saw the process as natural and positive. Leading economies hand over cutting edge industries to the next tier economies, focusing on the new cutting edge industries. Next tier countries (ATT, south korea) can focus semiconductors, and offload their second tier industries. Textile manufacturing is at the bottom of this stack.

Both US and Korean policy makers were correct. Apple is a great example. The product design, software and other high ROI (because low/no capital cost) elements remained in the US. Apple's profits are great. Their jobs (except retail) are all high paying. The parts of Apple with high capital investment requirements, lower margins, lower ROI or lower paid jobs were outsourced. This is pretty much the future 1990s economists in the US wanted.

South Koreans were also right. The idea was that certain industries, like semiconductors are massive growth industries. A good place to establish a competitive lead. True. The also treated capital investment as a good thing, even though it lowers ROI by definition.

I think the US mistake, if it was a mistake, was considering manufacturing a dead end... or a terminal destination. The truth is there will be more things to manufacture in the future, and a cutting edge manufacturing industry is the way to get a lead on that. Pathe dependencies can be important.

It's an interesting story to pay attention to.. maybe a turnaround in some decades-dominant modes of thinking about industrial policy.

All this would be roughly 15 lines of code.
This exact same flaw exists for HTTPS. Well, SSL in general. It's not Tor specific.
You lived there for a couple of years and you haven't seen any blacks or asians in Helsinki?

Because every time I travel north I notice quite a lot of them compared to here in Tallinn where there's virtually nil of both.

There's certainly enough of them there that I keep hearing angry anti-immigrant sentiment from finns.

Not scientific, no. But many people self-identify by race and model their behavior on those who look like them. Not all. But many.
Which is unfortunate because parental education and income are in the dataset. I wish I had the time to sift through it.
Is there anything to stop people form just writing a macro beforehand that does each task? I'm guessing that's how the guy who 4 keystrokes on Simple Text Editing accomplished that.
Maybe "care" isn't the right word. Some of us just have a preference. It's not a moral choice, it's just a gadget.
Really wish the video wasn't so small and wasn't private on the vimeo site. Fullscreen buttons never play nicely with my tiling window manager.
Not really. A motorcycle can't ride a bicycle any more than a Ford pickup can play football.

Computer programs can play chess better than humans, following the same rules that humans do.
In the old days, apps simply used the system color scheme. That allowed one to globally choose what they wanted. Now everyone has to implement light and dark “skinz.” Color me not impressed.

The link that I posted was based on a fine grained analysis of actual spend by actual households.

It found that, indeed, the rich pay less for the same good than the poor. And that the gap is increasing over time.
Nailed it. It surprises me how few in this crowd has had first-hand experience.
OTOH, nowadays most displays are glary and dark mode in a non-dark environment lets these display act as a mirror. As a cynic I assume we live in a time of narcissistic personality disorder ;)

With the bright mode I can reduce the brightness of my screens and I can still read everything. I also never have the urge to put dark-mode code on presentation slides that are unreadable in all but perfect condition.
You do it because it's so easy :)

I say that as a Vim user that duplicates lines constantly. Vim definitely changes your coding patterns; for better or worse because it can be soo frictionless.
I'm older, my eyes are getting pretty bad, and I have to have dark mode. This is why data on this is important.
Thanks for the heads up. That's fascinating. Has anyone else ran into this before?
I`m a freelancer for 2 or so years already, so I`m used to self-planning. But, for the past few months, I realized that my work is suffering cause I can`t get enough rest before getting to it. So, I`m learning how to rest effectively (https://ivypanda.com/blog/how-to-rest-effectively/).
Huh, I missed that development !

Yeah, I guess that there's some (literally !) "golden middle", where the energies involved are high enough to eject some large fraction of the neutronium, while the masses involved aren't high enough to immediately result in a black hole ?
It would be an interesting conversation to try and understand why/how are they better. Is it the sensors? The software? The lenses? In which conditions?

In that specific case I think they probably had better ideas than Google?
It will also significantly tank the quality (HW encoders are horrible at quality-per-bit ratio) - libx264 at this bitrate will make a huge difference in how good the video will look.
Could you share a link for this docker containers as lxc? Thought that isn’t possible. Or is this only for ones following a specific pattern?
Here's an anecdote: sharing a single X11 display on my two-display setup works just fine with Microsoft Teams, I use it almost daily.

That Linux MS Teams client can only do read-only sharing (no giving control to remote party) is another matter, which bothers me a lot.

With a good forgery it will be. Even then, the fact that it's noise means that you won't ever be sure about this.
Here's the beaureu of labor statistics for "packers"

Warehousing and Storage Hourly mean wage -$16.05

Amazon just increased their minimum pay to $15 in 2018 after being pressured. They are the countries second largest employer. The pay is not the only issue. Being at the lowest legal possible amount of protection. Multiple investigative books and stories have come out right around 2018 which Amazon replied by graciously increasing the wages and starting a marketing campaign to fight against the public opinion on working conditions.

And before someone says it, I don't have a vendetta against Amazon specifically. I believe we should fight for worker protections and actual living wages for anyone who works full time. Amazon could be a shining beacon, but their quotas and cost-cutting at any cost leads us to a lowest common denominator society while Bezos gains another 10 billion dollars a year.

For a larger look at the implications, this author goes over a lot of the systemic problems in a podcast synopsis:

My running form improved greatly, and quickly, when I ran barefoot (or wear 5 finger shoes). Doesn't have to be far, could be a few hundred meters as a part of a warmup. If you're overstriding, slamming your forefeet or heels, it'll hurt. When it stops hurting, you're running with good form.
That said, does anyone know if it takes more electricity
to reheat water than to maintain it at a given temperature?

How long is a piece of string? It depends on how quickly your kettle loses heat, how warm the room is, and how long the interval between pours is. I have a generic Japanese thermos kettle, with vacuum insulated walls, so it holds heat fairly well.

It should be pretty easy to figure out precisely what the tradeoff point is with a datalogger and a thermocouple and some math, or a clamp ammeter and slightly less math.
Thanks for writing what I couldn't figure out how to put into words.

I'll add one more thing: there are enough cars sold that there is enough market to support developing lots of different cars.
A fellow Firefox user?

I was wondering the same thing. Then it hit me: maybe it's just yet another one of those sites that assume all browsers in the world are Chromium and that's why the layout is garbled up for me.

This is what it looks like with Chromium on my end: https://i.imgur.com/36Lacgd.png
Actually, the site is set in Equity, but there is an option at the bottom to set it to Valkyrie :)
The lower courts have been frankly awful about refusing to acknowledge the rulings that SCOTUS has been handing down about software and technology in general. For example Alice Corp v CLS Bank International basically put an end to the validity of "[generic idea or business method], but on a computer" patents and the lower courts have basically said "haha ok great but we're not doing it", continuing to rule on "on a computer" patents as if they were valid, and with the patent office continuing to issue such patents.

Obviously this is copyright vs patent law but it goes to establish that there's been a big problem with the lower courts on "computer laws". It's a nexus of the problem with jurisdiction-shopping (finding a lower court that wants to keep lots of cases coming in and is willing to pump out questionable decisions to do so) and just the legal system being about 30 years behind the times in general in terms of understanding computers and how innovative a particular idea may be.
Of course it would, the government is already taking taxes from employees by means of income tax. Double dipping by taking from the company means less money for the employees.
Do you do this under the assumption that no local store treats employees unfairly?
I think there's a difference between something being factually true (you will die) and something being imminently factual (you have cancer).

Those are really negatively-biased examples, sorry.
I suffer from depression for more than 20 years.
Here is what should be done to fight it effectively :

- take anti-depressants
- wake up every day early and at the same time (6 AM from Monday to Sunday)
- when there is not enough sun outside, sit 30 minutes in front of a full specter lamp
- eat healthy (vegetables & fish oil)
- have some physical activity (walking, standing desk)
- socialize

If I was able to effectively do the last 3 things I think depression would have no impact in my life.
This is just so completely wrong, it's hard to know where to start!

You could start by not being a panicky reactionary mess about it.

It is useful to be able to wipe a remote mobile device with access into a company computer system when it it is lost, compromised or in unfriendly hands.

From that follows that software developers made it possible and providers made it available and employers think it reasonable to use on any mobile device which agreed to access their servers, personal or not.

It isn't illegal with "horrific penalties" - why would it be?
I wonder how the biz started by Stanford Engr students compare with those started by Stanford Biz students? (Yes, Stanford's CS department is part of its Engineering school.)
Any HN'rs who live in China use Fastmail? Can you share your experience?

I'm thinking of switching over but my primary concern is whether Fastmail encounters similar problems to Gmail. (You might recommend using a VPN all the time, but that doesn't always work for me).
Their issue is otherwise that person would have generally brought the more expensive direct fair.
By `energy', do you mean the same thing physicists mean?

If yes, Russia has lots of oil, and China (and anyone else) can just build nuclear power plants. Problem solved.
Safari isn't the only viable web browser. Javascript is the only viable webscripting language in browsers.
Do you think the technological progress will take that long, or do we need the time for the regulation to catch up?
In simpler terms, it's textbook price discrimination. For any given route, there are potential customers willing to pay different prices for that route. If the airline offers the maximum price to everyone they lose lots of sales. If they offer the lowest price to everyone, they lose potential revenue from all those people who would have paid more.

I mean "agree". My point is that the hassle is a hassle -- the f2f problem solving sometimes makes it worth it. Not often enough to make the decision cut-and-dried.
libtool and autoconf are messy partial solutions to problems created by writing non-portable code. This is an aspect of the bazaar model, where reasonable standards (e.g. POSIX) are sometimes ignored in favor of novelty or minimal adequacy.

The bazaar model embraces the mess, believing that something spectacular will emerge. The cathedral model argues that coherence produces better results.

Both can point to successes. phk is arguing that the open source community has lost more than it has gained from accepting the bazaar as the one true way.

Even in the last ten years, where has the innovation in operating systems come from?

The CatB essay predates the book, and the idea predates UNIX.
I have been using Shadow for a couple of months from my fast and stable gigabit FTTH connection. My ping to their servers is about 20 ms, and I have to make a conscious effort to notice any input lag. Some of you may argue my brain is slow. I can assure you it is not.

On the other hand, I got Stadia a couple of days ago, and although graphics work very well, input lag is unbearable. Some streaming users will experience input lag because their Internet connections cannot handle it, but that is not my case.

It's sad because I live in Dublin. Google has servers here. Shadow's servers are in the Netherlands. I'm very disappointed at the level of incompetence that Google displayed on this release. They have enough data centres, money and quality network connections to pull this off properly, yet they didn't. Shadow, a small French company streaming remote Windows PCs, did a much better job running standard Windows games that are not purposefully made to be streamed.
This is unequivocally the best explanation of this I've ever heard, including from university professors. You are very good at this.
I simply observed the situation as it stands. It's curious that you feel affronted by this.
> He's an unequivocally political figure for a variety of reasons. I don't see anything intellectually interesting in the fact that he's died.

This is the most robotic response to a public figure's death I have ever seen. Well done.
That's one hell of an advantage on the other hand; not only can we move entire populations in a fairly short time-frame (by simply grabbing our things and walk/run there), we can also adapt to the new surroundings and find ways to thrive. It's easy too see how our ancestors and other hominids colonized the entire planet.
How do we account for selection bias though?

I think it's likely that nets are easy to catch. Floaty, big surface area, lots of anchor points.
I think that's a little unfair. I guess what they are doing is achieving the basics, but with a different interface. This is an important proof of concept.

Remember, Musk is all about scalable manufacturing and products. If this was other's tech from 20 years ago, where's the massive commercialization? They failed. Musk is focused on this aspect, and he will (given his past achievements) succeed.
This wasn't a safety issue because the aircraft was overloaded, article doesn't mention it being over max takeoff weight or even if it had enough fuel loaded, it was specifically the thrust settings on take off which doesn't really impact airline bottom line. Weighing the plane does seem like the answer.
A good idea is to split your time between product creation and product marketing / selling. I've seen people doing 1 week of each.

That said, if your target market is not easily reachable online / doesn't read blogs / doesn't search on Google, you're in for an uphill battle.

Selling door to door may be a solution but it's expensive and not necessarily effective.

I'd look into alternative ways to sell your product: does your target buy services from a class of other established companies (eg. They use web agencies to built websites)? If so you can try to get them to do the sales and agree on some revenue sharing / referrals.

It's hard to advise more without knowing the specifics, but you'll have to think outside the box.

Best of luck!
Ps: for the next product you may want to reach out to potential customers before, so that you'll have some market proof and a potential list of leads before investing time building.

I think the problem of food waste is a structural one and that it has to do with how capitalism operates as a mode of production.
A lot of people like to think that capitalism is the most rational mode of production and a lot of the criticism of that viewpoint tend to base itself on moral grounds as a mode of production that is unethical, as the "era where money is king" or on some sort of "paradise lost" like we lost touch with "nature" or something.
I don't agree with that and my problem with capitalism is that, although it is a system that is able to produce a massive amount of goods, it totally fails to adequately distribute them for the greater good. It leaves that to market forces and the problem with market forces is that you only know you have produced too much shit after you have already produced it. The consequence is quite a lot of instability and a massive source of waste. I guess if Karl Marx was alive today, the first sentence of Capital would be : "The wealth of those societies in which the capitalist mode of production prevails, presents itself as “an immense accumulation of WASTE"
It's not that they couldn't secure the capitol, it's because they didn't want to and are sympathetic to the rioters. The same way us devs look at requirements we know how to do but don't want to and instead say:

"Nope, can't do that, not enough timeslices on mutex semaphore of a monadic type for me to transpile that functionality of changing the color of the background"
> The US is not an Imperial power.

What about (checks notes), Hawaii, Samoa, Marianas Islands, Puerto Rico, Panama, Cuba, the Virgin Islands, the Philippines, and all the Native Americans we deprived of their land?

The US is far from the worst imperial offender, and our period of "let's take your land and screw your sovereignty to it" was for a comparatively short amount of time (unless you were Native American). But we are still just as guilty of those crimes as others are.
It's really a waste of time. These people don't care if the election was fair, don't care that Republican appointed officials responsible for implementing the voting systems in Republican run states verified everything. They don't care how audit-able the votes were. They don't even care that Trump and the Republican leadership have no interest in vote reform despite repudiating the results of the vote.

It's simply a flat out repudiation of democracy.
Actually coding something is the last resort.
Been there, done that.

I can state that it's a bit unrealistic to expect this kind of outcome.
Sex appeal. Peloton is built on sex appeal. The instructors lead workouts wearing makeup, jewelry and bikini tops (well, the female ones anyway). Vox has an article [1] looking at SoulCycle and it sounds similar: instructors were good looking and exhorted to be incredibly thin. That said, it's a great way to get a good 30 minute cardio workout in.

I would like to second that you should avoid Viber if possible. It's clunky and incredibly slow and astonishingly frustrating
Honestly at this point why even bother with banking apps? I've found that most of my banking needs can be done via their mobile-webpages.
I'm in Brazil as well.

Everybody uses Whatsapp. It is now so entrenched into society that it turned to be part of its popular culture. When people say "I'm part of a group of old car enthusiasts", they meant they are part of a Whatsapp group in which they discuss old cars.

Countless online services and apps were replaced by Whatsapp over the years, from the top of my head: all IMs, customer service apps, e-commerce (specially for SMBs), email and collaboration in general. I can't remember the last time I received a proposal or contract to be signed outside Whatsapp. My attorney asks me to send him all sorts of documentation, copies of IDs and legal evidence via Whatsapp because email is not as easy to use as the IM.

Well, it's lunch time. I got to order my Burguer King meal via their Whatsapp order taking bot. How convenient.
By the way, do you know if anyone in the gymnasticon community has cracked the meaning of the initialization packets sent at bootup? I have a partial decoding of the first two packets: the second includes bike ID and some other stuff, but no idea on the first.
Most of these paradoxes come from treating the community as if it were a person, which it isn't. It's a statistical cloud of millions of people (and hundreds of thousands of commenters) with a complete spectrum of views. People can contradict themselves, but a statistical cloud can't.
I think the term you wanted him to look up was 'free software'.

When the perceived worth of a piece of some 'internet action' was much higher, along with the 'barriers to entry' being perceived as much higher, of course IPOs did a lot better.

Now, it's easier to grab a tiny slice of pie, either through web-ads, or through selling a service based on cheap hardware, open software and sweat-equity, no IPO needed.
