I could drop the market cap of Google down to $3.4M right now. All I have to do is sell one of my shares for $0.01. The thing is, it would pop right back up again to $483B within a few milliseconds, and I'd just be out $690, so there's kinda no point to it.

(Pedantic note, since I know there's gonna be someone in the financial industry that corrects me: no, I couldn't, technically. When I put in a sell order, it goes into the order book, and buyers are required by law to take the best offer, which is probably more than mine. I'd have to place my order at a time when there are no outstanding limit offers. This has actually happened during flash crashes and technical glitches, but is not a normal occurrence.)

Privately traded companies are similar, but because there's less liquidity, the price doesn't necessarily correct on any reasonably time scale.
I'm highly skeptical that matters this time around. The Republican candidates are so bad that this would practically be a free ride for Sanders. Can you imagine Sanders losing to Trump, if Trump gets the Repub. nomination? Losing to Cruz? If he runs against Kasich, or even Rubio, he might have a problem, but against the rest it's practically a free win for whomever the Dems want to nominate.

Sanders does excellently with independent voters, Trump does terribly outside of his 35% subset of committed Republicans. This is possibly the single best chance to get a guy like Sanders into the presidency that will happen for a long, long time. If the party does override a popular vote for Sanders, I think it will almost certainly be to protect the interests of donors to incumbent Democrats, many of whom will be superdelegates, rather than any honest concern about "electability."
Will this turn into a tradition ?

I got one saying my experience with Go would "be a good fit" with a company.

My Go codebase at the time, on that account, consisted largely of hacky products, no tests, no web-server stuff, high coupling and complexity, and below average documentation. If that indicates experience with a language, I'm almost afraid to ask what WOULDN'T be a good fit.

That, and their stated "real-time" requirements for said company's product made me laugh.

Oh, I see it now. It's in OpenSecret's "Total Spent by All Outside Organizations Targeting Sanders". $1,881,017 spent on Bernie, mostly from the nurses.

On Hillary's page it says outside money spent $2,921,391 for Hillary and $4,413,617 against. So NYTime's reporting is probably out of date since it was before the Iowa vote.

Spending is a bad metric this early anyway since most PACs are just starting to ramp up their spending. Looking at spending + warchests, the Nurses have a couple million to play with while Bush, Clinton, Rubio, etc have 10s of millions. https://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/summ.php?chrt=V&...

Does this project count as "public procurement?" If so the chances of corruption would seem higher:

How "temporary" are we talking?

In my experience, one someone starts living somewhere, they're not in a hurry to leave.
But here is the thing: it's the same 8-14 working hours. If your product/company has the potential, why spend those same hours targeting $x million, when you could target 100x. You could be shorting yourself and your team out of several millions.
Any required costs, yes:

http://www.ybs.co.uk/mortgages/mortgage-glossary.html

> Overall cost for comparison

> APR (Annual Percentage Rate) - This is a figure which all lenders must quote when referring to mortgages. It is designed to show the total yearly cost of a mortgage stated as a percentage of the loan. It includes items such as the interest rate payable at the start of the mortgage and after the initial rate period has ended, Mortgage Application Processing Fee, Product Fee, Valuation Fee and Mortgage Fee. It is the overall cost for comparison purposes. This figure is intended to help customers to compare the overall cost of different loans.

I'm not sure what mortgage and title insurance are, perhaps they're more US specific things.

External costs (solicitors, taxes like stamp duty, etc) are not included in the figure.
I think we're in two different realities here. You've misinterpreted what I've said. I've raised VC. We really seem to be missing each other. I don't agree with much of the way you see the world.
While true, if Sanders decides to run as an Independent, Republicans would win the election. This has happened before recently, with Nader. So it is in the Democratic party's best interest to support Sanders if he wins the popular vote. I suspect the superdelegates know this, too.
How the heck are you getting 5K equity from a 5K mortgage payment? The loan would have to be at zero interest. But your point stands otherwise.

You take... 500mg of melatonin? Do you mean mcg? Or is the pill itself like 10mg of melatonin and 490mg of filler?

If you're seriously taking 500mg of melatonin, please see a doctor for advice on the right dosage. The proper dosage is between 0.2mg and 20.0mg according to WebMD. I have never seen a melatonin pill higher than like 6mg.
Yahoo had around ~11,700, they did follow through the cuts of %10 last week. That is 1100 right out the gate. Yahoo is huge as far as local employee count. Google probably wont bother doing cuts. Facebook wont bother. Apple maybe a few low level poeple. HP will cut to the bone [1]. There are 800k people stuffed in sf. For the cuts in SF (not all SV) to matter, I would estimate 20% job cuts would be required. That is 160k jobs. We wont get to 160k job loses. Not even close.

Thanks for this. Although it makes some important points, it reads as if the author is annoyed that backblaze's data from tens of thousands of drives is getting so much press, compared to the rather useless single drive reviews published by sites like tweak town.

It's also a bit disingenuous to criticize back blaze's methodology when you know that a 'comprehensive study' under more controlled conditions will NEVER actually happen with the necessary sample size to draw conclusions.

Stress testing is a valid methodology for determining reliability - eg car makers crash their cars into walls at high speed to make sure they are safe, or use a robot to push the brake pedal a million times to see when it fails - so they hardly deserve criticism for pushing the drives hard. More information for the consumer is a good thing.
Well, to answer your question: Post your resume on a job board (dice, ziprecruiter, monster, whatever), make sure the text is machine readable, and your contact info is included. If you do that, the recruiters will come.

But as everyone else has mentioned, you probably don't wanna do that. The best feedback comes directly from hiring managers themselves, not recruiters. Recruiters aren't necessarily incentivized to paint you an accurate picture.

> Outside of similarly exceedingly high throughput situations, CPUs are normally more than fast enough, especially if the application in any way brushes up against people and thus falls into "human time" scales, in which case you'd typically be hard pressed to make things slow enough for someone to notice.

This has simply not been my experience. (In a previous job I had reasonably optimized numerical python code sitting on the back end of an api and it was incredibly easy to go over our time budget).
Possibly. Not sure which is more out of date; the numbers from the FEC didn't jive with OpenSecrets the day the article was published either.

It's just as easy to believe that OpenSecrets has a reporting delay as it is to believe that the FEC is using some legacy software that doesn't update quickly.
I agree with what you're saying but think you haven't considered the correct counterfactual.

Right now we live in a world where candidates raise oodles of cash. Why? Mostly to pay for marketing and media pushes. Money gets you TV ads, radio spots, etc.

Let's say we wave our magic Citizens United wand and heavily restrict campaign financing in some way. Restrict how much they can raise. Restrict how much they can spend. Restrict where they can get money. Doesn't matter, just imagine that the end result is that candidates raise a few million instead of a few billion.

What happens now? You hit the nail ont he head right there

> Overall this is not a problem in the USA alone if you have the media/papers on your side the chance of winning an elections grows exponential.

The media is biased. It's biased because it's ultimately run by humans and humans aren't robots. Media owners have politicians they favour. Media employees have political leanings.

Right now, in a world with essentially unlimited campaign spending, this media bias largely doesn't matter, because they are more than happy to take any politician's money in exchange for ad space

This changes in a world where politicians can't spend enough money to buy ad space. In this world, who gets the TV spots? The people with connections. The candidates leverage personal friendships and ideological biases to get "heavily discounted" airtime while the less well connected, or less institutionally popular candidates get nothing.

We all look at campaign financing and see the bad parts, but consider the alternative. In this world, Sanders can still run TV spots because he can crowdsource money from grassroots sources and pay what ads cost. In a world with that door closed to him, all he can do is fall back on connections and hope for the best. And for someone for whom being an outsider is so core to his branding, I wouldn't count on those connections to amount to much
> How "temporary" are we talking?

Again, reading the post with the proposal, the government's authority to rent the property out exists only within the geographic and temporal extent of a "housing crisis".

So, again, the concrete definition of the crisis would be critical.
It doesn't have to be one or the other; include a small switch at the bottom of the screen that alternates between the two representations.
I find this very interesting, as it is more or less directly opposed to the traditional (sic) framing of marriage as for better and for worse; and it explicitly foreground self interest where traditional marriage is/was often a contract at least as much about family, business, or social interests, as personal benefit.

Restated, this view asserts that marriage, or, the partner, are of value only in as much as they remain beneficial on a limited horizon extended by limited extrapolation to future goods.

That sounds to me like precisely the same sort of short-term-results focus that is increasingly being criticized for producing non-desirable behaviors by public corporations beholden to hit their numbers, regardless of long term costs, externalities, etc. etc.

I am NOT being critical, btw. This is a total valid and rational formulation, and it has refreshing clarity.

That said at a personal, anecdotal, level, I can report after 15 years of marriage (and 25 together) with a partner, that there seem to be good reasons for the traditional formulations to have evolved as they have.

E.g. that there is great value when the market is down (e.g. under the decade-long stress of parenting young children) is knowing that your partner has committed (is stuck) to you, even when you don't have the resources to give them your best self.

We all err; disaster strikes; forgiveness takes time; sometimes it will take more than a day to heal.

But YMMV :)

Yes. Moreover, although interest rates fluctuate, that is all they do. Mostly they stay in the single digits. Whereas rent just rises absolutely with time. If you're near the end of, say, a very long 30 year mortgage, chances are that the payments you're making are ridiculously small compared to what people are paying in rent in the same area.
Why Does Art Happen in Pairs?
Paying $1 extra for a better apple is worth it if you value the better flavor by at least that much. It shouldn't matter whether the choice is between $4 and $5 or between $10 and $11 - how did that dollar become less valuable, or the apple tastier?

"Humans act like money is proportionate when it's actually linear," is the crux of a wide variety of "surprising" microeconomic facts. People are more likely to drive across town to save money on a fancy pen that could cost $4 or $8 than they are to drive across town to save money on a suit that could cost $320 or $324.

(Yes, there are cases where there are good arguments that the utility of money isn't linear, but these are not those cases.)

I was at the national press club on Thursday morning when they announced - but was there for a different event. I literally had to barge my way through a herd of physicists and press to get to where I was going. It was really cool to see the excitement in the room. We heard the applause from across the hall when they announced.
Yeah, it's really not easy to get there. But once you have all the options in your head it's really the fastest way to get what you want as it is. If you don't want to choose just take what they have chosen as the default option and base your Uber experience on that. Different cities offer different of these options and I found that without special requirements the default option is usually the most reasonable one for "getting there fast, cheap and not too uncomfortably"

> flexibility of renting seems a lot bigger advantage than the small advantages of owning a house

Want to paint a wall? Own a pet? Add a garage? Replace your grass with desert cactus? Build an extension? Knock a hole in the ceiling so you can hang upside down like a bat from the rafters? Build a dirt bike track in your backyard?

Owning is nothing if not flexible.

At the very least, you should agree that describing "flexibility" as a characteristic of renting alone is a incomplete summary of the situation.

Don't think about today. Think about 30 years from now. Markets swing up and down. In 30 years you can own your property or you can keep renting somebody else's property and paying their mortgage for them.

If you rent, you're likely paying all those additional fees in addition to a share of the mortgage for the owner. Property owners aren't charities and are under no obligation to take on those costs when they can get somebody else to take them on for them.

It really is as clear cut as that.
It's horrible for the reader and for exactly that reason it's probably making more money.
Sanders deciding to sabotage the election of a left-leaning President would completely undermine his stated intentions for the office. Sanders needs the Democratic Party and its infrastructure. The Democratic Party does not need Sanders and has no reason to fear him.

Well, the original comment was "10% of earners" and I'd bet that smartphone penetration is higher among earners (eg 20% of Americans are under 14, 0% of them are earners and ??~10% of them have a smartphone). So you could perhaps push it up to more like 1/3 earners use iOS, which is starting to be a healthy potential market share.
Roger Bacon and Robert Grosseteste kind of invented the scientific method in the 1200s.... The religious wars and black death put a lot of dampers on Western Science during the high middle ages, and but science was not exactly deliberately repressed.
Agree 100%.

It’s frowned upon to talk about this as a generational thing, but it very much is. Debt is the instrument to have now and pay later, and the debt burden is rampant everywhere. Modern economics has essentially disregarded the role of debt in the economy.[1] All our government institutions seem hell bent on maintaining asset prices at any cost.[2] There’s no sensible plan to even remotely reign in government debt. The world’s stuck at zero percent interest rates, handing out money to the politically connected, and growth is still anemic. Even at low rates people can hardly afford to buy anything since asset prices are so inflated.

I would like to believe we can deal with this in a reasonable fashion, but am skeptical. As can already be seen by the U.S. elections and elsewhere, populism is rearing it’s head on both the left and the right. It feels like a storm is on the horizon and I only hope it doesn’t devolve into war.

What flexibility of renting?

Let's talk moves. Every month, renters play a stressful game of "musical homes": they have to move in a single day. Those that are lucky happen to be moving to a place that has been vacant for some time, and can negotiate a head start to start moving there before their official move-in date.

Owners negotiate possession dates, giving themselves comfortable time zones for moving gradually, and can write clauses into contracts like "we will buy this place, pending the sale of our current place".

Payments. Many people who own have a mortage. But you can shop around for a mortgage independently of the property you're moving into. Mortgages have flexibility. They can be moved to a new property ("portability"). How many landlords offer "skip a payment" feature in the rent?
