Umm, I'm guessing you aren't in the industry as most of what you wrote here doesn't really make sense.

> Also, unless a stock has crazy liquidity, instruments like shorts and options are generally not available to individuals for a while after an IPO. A hedge fund may be willing to issue them, but they're set up for low volume/high value trading so they only deal with other large institutional funds.

How can a hedge fund issue options until options are legally able to trade? Short answer, they can't.

> Your average bank that would back options or shorts for an individual isn't willing to take on that kind of risk for a recently-IPOed stock.

Banks dont' "back" options, what ever that is supposed to mean. They are created when someone writes one, This is almost predominately, market makers and buy side funds, though the sell side will write some options.

And the bank takes on almost zero risk when they lend securities to short sellers. The sellers post collateral at the end of each day that is usually around 100% of the current short. What risk do you think banks are taking on when lending?

> I would expect to see Square drop precipitously over the next week/month as the professional investors can make money by pushing the valuation down, then it'll stabilize somewhere near the IPO price in 6-12 months.

Based on what? probably not history as I just went through all the IPO's over the past 3 years, guess how many are trading within 5% of their IPO price? About 5% of them

> Company fundamentals have very little to do with share price in the first year or two of an IPO; it's almost entirely psychological.

Again, based on what? I don't think you get to state this without some basic research. Why after 2 years do people start looking at fundamentals?
Ask HN: What tools do you use for workload planning?
Essentially I want a tool as described in this blog post: http://justindavis.co/2015/07/29/capacity-forecasting-for-freelancers/

I need something to manage the capacity I have from contractors and employees and the workload I had and I will have across projects. Something to manage my projects, not in a detailed way, but from a time budgeting standpoint.

I cannot be the only person with many medium sized projects that works with a network and has a need for a tool like this. How do you solve this issue?

Has anyone tried Reflex? Really interesting concept in Haskell + GHCJS
https://github.com/ryantrinkle/try-reflex

I liked Elm but I felt the language was a bit limited coming from Haskell, ex no type classes so you have List.map, Signal.map, Set.map, etc

Overall Elm is great in terms of tooling, setup, error messages, performance, js interop though

It's a good start, though I think reviewing their content ID system is far more important at this point. I've seen videos claimed or taken down based on everything from outright fraud (companies and individuals claiming to own songs and video footage they don't have the rights/exclusive rights to) to weird coincidences (like songs being 'claimed' because a song they used was a bit similar to a popular pop song, even if it had nothing to do with it).

It's nice to see them stand up for their users in at least some sense though.
If I'm not mistaken, "striim" neither is an open-source project nor an open-sourced product.
The HN guidelines ask submitters not to use the original title when it is misleading or linkbait, which this title arguably was, so the user who complained had a legit point. But it makes things easier when the complaint comes with a suggestion for an accurate, neutral title.

Why should one accept Peter Singer's argument?

> People also tend to throw out a lot clothing because they're bored with it, not because it gets worn out.

"Bored" is probably not the right word; getting rid of clothes that aren't worn out is driven, AFAICT, largely by changes in fit (because people change over time) and changes in fashion; the former doesn't tend to be planned/anticipated except for children or people engaging in deliberate programs (like planned diets), the latter also entails significant depreciation in the clothing (which occurs even if the reason the particular person gets rid of clothing is the first.)

There's obviously some opportunity for rental services (and several online rental services exist), but its not clear to me that its a "pretty big" opportunity, because for most people, the turn around times, even when they don't involve wear, are long enough that they involve significant depreciation.
Wow. The Internet service providers complain about network neutrality, while they pull stunts like this.
Shadow Defender 1.4.0.589 Crack and Keygen 32 Bit Download
I worked for a while for an IT services company. For our entry level tech support position, I put together a quick interview document that we emailed applicants, asking them 4 questions. They had to help someone fix their printer via email, fix their email client, write a powershell script to copy files from one directory to another, and solve FizzBuzz.

We honestly didn't care if they blatantly plagiarized the answers (especially on the last two), because the point was the right answer as much to see if they knew enough vocabulary to know how to Google the question.

Out of 30 responses, including recent college graduates with good GPAs, people claiming 20+ years of IT experience, owning their own IT consulting firm, etc, not one of them got all four right. Some even said, "I don't know how to solve this" on FizzBuzz.

The person who actually got them all correct? My wife, an ESL teacher who I gave the questions as a control, and told her to not spend more than 15 minutes on them.

Anyone who overthinks FizzBuzz is an automatic hire in my book. (yes, I know about http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2005/01/27.html )

We don't need scientific backing: it should be proven safe before using. Not proven a threat then removed from the market. Some of these things can be difficult to reverse.

I think it exactly is what Elon Musk was talking about. I disagree that AI can be dangerous, but in this case I completely agree, human judgement is better, because what employees you choose should be a human decision, not an algorithmic one.

Although I think AI should give suggestions AND be able to explain why such or such candidates is better. What I'm worried, is letting AI black boxes determine the best candidates and not letting HR understand why, based on previous statistics about hiring.

> Being an important liberty does not mean that it is necessarily a good idea.

Well it's how society have been working until today. Would you let science decide instead of people ? I would certainly not. I agree that politicians and people in general don't listen to enough science, but letting science drive us seems like an other extreme alternative.

I personally think AI is great, what I'm worried is if people use it without understanding it, and in history it has happened very often.

My physics professor showed me that exact proof 20 years ago. I remember being amazed. He used alpha instead of F as the scale factor :)

Antibiotics don't do anything for viruses or cancer.
Nomadic Code School announces first class will go April through June in Asia
So you're both [edit: all] saying that Congress is being paid (by who? UPS/Fedex?) to screw USPS over. Do you have any citations?

Why wasn't this mentioned in the article if it's such a well-known scheme?
The industrial era is nothing more than subsidised costs by means of fossil fuels and the destruction of our environment, with all progress being made tending to be zero sum. Oh so we discovered antibiotics? Great, but now we have to deal with increasing rates of diabetes, cancer, heart and immunodeficiency diseases. And even though some people would like to make us think that our life expectancy has gone up, that's only true for the average because of increased expectancy at birth. Plus we are not measuring quality of life. You know, the only real progress we've made is in terms of education and individual rights.

I'm actually starting to think that the Industrial Age is the worst thing that could have happened to human kind. Even this antibiotics apocalypse, along with outbreaks of potentially deadly viruses, like the mad cow disease or the aviary flu, are caused by industrial farming practices, which are also guilty of polluting the soil they stand on and the nearby water streams, damaging the area and the people living nearby,

A post-industrial age is long overdue.

I don't understand what kind of thinking you're saying you hate.

I'm not trying to deflect blame or avoid responsibility. I'm simply saying that this "madness" comes from individual people making completely rational choices. Widespread antibiotic use on farms is both awful and completely sensible for the individuals involved.

That doesn't mean there is no responsibility or that we're helpless. It just informs the remedies. It means that attempts to get people to act rationally will fail, because they already are. If you want to change things, then you need to make it so that the rational choice for the individual is also the best choice for society as a whole. And that's typically where the laws come in.
Does investing at the idea stage work?
I also fail to see how this service could possibly work. Based on my observation it is not like women walk into a store and know exactly what will look good on them just by looking at some dress hanging on the rack. The more fancy the dress the more fussy the whole process.

I have often wondered if a book-of-the-month type model would work with dresses. Lots of women have no real interest in following fashion, but they still want to look good. Just ship a new dress you know will fit and suit the women once a month (or week) and they keep it or ship it back.
How to tell if an article about the USPS is hackery: check and see if it mentions that Congress requires the Postal Service to fund its pension obligations for 75 years.
I think it's the opposite: any org (private or public) should be required to pre-fund infinite years of benefits. That is, if you're compensating the employee with benefit X, you should book (the ROR-discounted present value of) that full liability now, irrespective of when you would have to eventually pay it. That one extra month of employee work earned them $100, 80 years from now? Great, that should be $0.71 less you have to spend. No 75-year cutoff. (Or 50, or 40, or 25).

Any other arrangement is forcing the employee to become an investor, in which case the usual protections should attach.

No company should be able to play the game of "oh, man, we totally thought we'd be making bank 40 years on, bummer we can't pay the rest of our worker's employment compensation, tough s---." And then you have situations like GM, Bethlehem Steel, etc.

Why is anyone cool with "don't worry, we'll be profitable later" when it comes to worker's wages? Why do people like gambling with workers' promised benefits?

Making the USPS pay for the accrued retirement benefits of it's workers isn't onerous.

It totally makes sense for a shrinking business that likely will never grow into new markets. If the USPS cannot afford the pensions they are promising now, how can it ever hope to afford it later.

Unfunded pensions have been a huge disaster at the local level. It's leading Chicago and Illinois into bankruptcy. It's easy for government to promise great retirement benefits if they don't actually have to pay to provide them.

All government should have to fund any accrued benefit for employees.

And for businesses, any sort of accrued benefit goes on their books as a liability. While they don't have to pre-fund it, if they company doesn't, it could make the company insolvent if the amount goes too high.

There seems to be more to irony than just being unexpected. If I'm playing poker and get dealt a straight flush, I wouldn't describe that as ironic unless something about the context made that particular hand notable as well as unexpected. For example, if we'd just been discussing hand odds. The bit in the song about the guy who avoided flying his whole life to have his plane crash seems like irony to me, though.

One of the reasons it doesn't work is there are congressional rules and laws limiting it to only "not working". Things like - requiring full pre-funding of all benefits, limits to what it can carry that come from congress, etc. Many of these rules seem to exist only to make the post office look bad.
All these "back to the dark ages" worst case scenarios seem to assume that we'll wake up one day and realize that every single one of our antibiotics has stopped working on anything. That's not how it's going to happen. It only takes a few years for most strains of bacteria to lose their resistant traits, and we're going to have years of undeniable warning signs. (As opposed to the deniable warning signs we have now.)

What's actually going to happen: We're going to have an epidemic of some sort of drug-resistant bacteria in the Western world--maybe that incurable TB that's going around, maybe something else. A few thousand Westerners are going to die--people the Western world actually cares about, as opposed to them poor people in them third world countries that are always dropping like flies anyway.

There'll be a media hysteria similar to the Ebola crisis. People will suddenly realize that antibiotic resistance isn't just a problem affecting poor people in third world countries, but that it is now a problem threatening them and their children.

The resulting media blitz will educate even the average idiot about the importance of taking the full course of antibiotics even if you feel much better already. Antibiotic use on lifestock will be banned. Western governments will pressure China and India into stopping the unrestricted sale of antibiotic. Western doctors are finally going to realize that prescribing antibiotics like candy just to shut a patient up is a mistake even if the patient is yelling really loudly. Developing a new antibiotic is sudenly going to be a lucrative or at least PR-relevant strategy for Big Pharma, instead of a likely fincancial loss. Hospitals are going to be forced to actually deal with the problem of MRSA. (Right now, many patients that should be tested and isolated aren't tested because there's no room to isolate them in case of a positive result.)

Within a few years, drug resistance will taper off sharply, without antibiotics ever losing their use except in the case of a few rare resistant diseases, which will be tested for and isolated. Problem solved.

These are all things we could do right now, if we wanted to, we just don't care about the problem enough. The moment it becomes big enough to interest the majority of the population, we know how to solve this.

From a comment on the article, http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/2015/11/a-step-toward...

"… a far more effective change would be to remove the immediate monetary reward for a false claim. As it stands now, the instant a claim is made, all ad money is diverted to the claimant and is never recoverable by the creator. This is further compounded by the fact appeals go to the claimant, not a 3rd party, for review and along with the conflict of interest can take weeks to a month to be addressed during which time the claimant is still monetizing the creator's work.

A simple change would be once a claim is made against a video to hold (escrow) all revenue until the dispute is resolved or one party fails to respond in the given time. After there is a resolution, the revenue is released to the correct party."
