Our legal system has created limited liability corporations to improve economic efficiency, and then a network of regulations to keep corporations from doing bad things that liability might dissuade a normal person from doing. We lurch between economically damaging regulations after something really bad happens, to regulatory capture after industry lobbying gets the attention of politicians.

It seems to me that the whole thing is a mess that doesn't work very well.

Here is my alternate proposal. Corporations who engage in risky long-term behavior should have to purchase long-term insurance to cover liability for what they are doing. These insurance contracts would be on terms set by insurers.

Behind the scenes insurers could cover these contracts by putting money into index funds. The fund would cover liability, the cost ensuring compliance with insurance terms, and after the period was up, would pay off investors.

These funds would therefore trade at a discount to regular index funds that represents market estimates of the present value of future liability. Therefore the insurance costs to companies would be a free market estimate of the cost to others of what you are doing.

And voila! Very little regulation. No regulatory capture. And people will get compensation. (And LLCs can remain limited liability.)
This is a pretty horrible deal. I'm glad I don't have to work in that industry, it's basically a strip mine that's leaching off toxic waste into the environment now.

HDF5 is supported by many languages including C, C++, R, and Python. It has compression built in. It can read slices easily. It is battle-tested, stable, and used in production for many years by thousands of people. Pandas even has integrated support for DataFrames stored in HDF5.

What's the advantage of Feather over HDF5? Couldn't the Feather libraries be written with the same API but HDF5 as the storage format, if the Feather API is preferable?

> especially as apps migrate to relying on the closed/proprietary Google Play Services framework rather than vanilla Android.

Blame the manufacturers, Google started moving more and more functionality into the services instead of the base OS partially because manufacturers were being so horrible about updating their phones. With functionality in the Services instead of the base OS they can update functions without manufactures deciding that it's not worth their time and holding things back.
> As I understand it shale formations holding petroleum are often 500 to 1000 feet down.

So I just recently left a job doing downhole tool design and everything I was hearing was high temperature, high pressure, high shock & vibe. I saw plenty of well plans that were 10k feet down and then 15k feet sideways, and little else.

I'm not saying that other things can't exist, but the cookie-cutter wells that drillers were doing as of a year or two ago were largely down deep and long sideways.

Ah, that's fine in theory then - I use a dkms package on Arch too since I use a non standard kernel with VFIO patches for PCI passthrough. Interestingly I see people have reported getting PCI passthrough working with the standard SUSE kernel too, so I'll have to give that a try.

As far as I can see the x11-video-nvidia package in the page you linked has quite an old nvidia driver version for Tumbleweed - https://software.opensuse.org/package/x11-video-nvidia

Again I might be missing something, and in practice it might be easy to install the latest drivers, but this is a bit off putting. I don't know the details of how your build system works or why it keeping up with Nvidia drivers complicated, but this seems like it'd be quite a fundamental thing for a lot of users. The vast majority of people who play games on Linux are going to want recent proprietary Nvidia drivers, so having that as a footnote at the bottom of an article that says it's not recommended/supported doesn't inspire confidence.

Still, I'm intrigued enough to give it a try.

The value seems OK if there is a good IPO (>10 billion) in the near future. I think the issue is now Spotify largely HAVE to IPO quickly and successfully. This is a big risk as with the current bear market that could easily deteriorate further creating a situation where the business would be better waiting for for a few years. And they are now cornered into not taking an IPO, or not taking it at great cost.

And I wouldn't put it past Goldman to use background influence to delay the expected listing to get themselves ever favorable terms by adding a few years to the process. I'd be interested to know the cap on the share price discount that goes up 2.5% every extra six months. And what would happen in a private buyout? Is this deal a poison pill against not listing from management? Possibly management want to ensure this listing happens largely no-matter what markets do.

Maybe I'm a skeptical person but it seems there could be rationale to this deal we dont see. I know Spotify are struggling to compete on the growth of paid subscribers. Maybe this is managements way to get a profitable exit before the struggling financials really show and markets get more rational on unicorns.
I'd say that's a fair assessment :)

This might have been because your VGA card didn't use dual ported RAM. I don't think all cards used it since it was more expensive. The safest way to ensure you don't get snow across a wide variety of cards is to wait for the vertical retrace period before updating the palette registers. This way you update while the CRT beam is returning to the top of the screen, instead of while it is drawing in some random part of the screen and potentially reading from the palette while you are in the middle of updating it.

Also it's possible that the vertical retrace period isn't long enough to update the entire palette (i.e. you're still updating it and vertical retrace has finished, and the video card has already started redrawing the screen). This kind of depends on a number of factors - VLB/ISA/CPU speed/video card speed. You can work around it by updating smaller sections of the palette at a time (e.g. 32 colours at a time).

In addition, Yarvin may be wrong, but he's also wrong in (at least to me) a unique way.

Ironically, what little I read of his when he was linked to by Scott Alexander at Slater Star Codex awhile back made me appreciate the US bureaucracy a lot more than I had prior to reading him. If anything, I went away feeling much more comfortable with how the current US government operates day to day and far less troubled by how little effect "democracy" actually has in this country.

I doubt that's what Yarvin intended, of course, but if I had just heard "racist" and "bigot" and shunned him entirely, as many people seem to think I should have, I'd be less informed today and substantially less positive about our government. I'm glad I didn't.

I willingly took the best deal I could get, and I would make the same deal with the information I have today. At the same time, a system that arbitrarily indebts some students and gives others a free ride is unfair and needs to change. Also, I think calling my position whining is a pretty low level of discourse.
Jesus Christ, that's not clickbait, those really are devilish terms. It's debt, they lose $200MM of shares at the time of IPO, and they very well could end up paying 15% interest yearly on this. And when the IPO happens, if it follows the general IPO trend and tanks at first, it's very possible TPG and Dragoneer will want to get out -- dumping 1.2 billion of Spotify onto the market and absolutely destroying the share price three months before employees can sell.

Let's say they have a $8.5 billion IPO and they decide to sell: suddenly, 15% of their company was just dumped onto the market. There's no way they could survive that.

This is exactly what politically empowered people and lawyers are good at figuring out. Let the law and motivated individuals sort it out in institutions that society has designated. What we are seeing now are the consequences of conflicting unilateral actions.

The goal of Npm should be to insure that any software built using their tools enjoys uninterrupted historical continuity and progress. The technical challenge is as serious as the political complexity--exactly as it should be! Rash and sudden movements (yanking version, letting squatters snap up names) are undesirable because they do not honor the spirit of necessity:

Move only when necessary, and then move decisively, and always fight to ensure the historical continuity of the software. If people are confused, illustrate the precept in your actions and instruct the people!
Right. In fact, last year at least, many companies were able to profit on their subleases, as the long-term (4+ year) lease was at a lower rate than the going price.

Another common situation is landlords happy to terminate a couple-year-old lease, because they know they can easily get a higher rate on the open market.

At this scale, debt is always bad option. There are not many company in the world which can repay more than 1billion$ with interest. The demand of debt at this level is so low, that either they should be doing it at pretty low interest rates or not at all.

> As a PhD student [..]. The hiring process we mentioned completely ignores teaching skills [...]

As a PhD student myself, I have observed the hiring process at my department many times. Here teaching experience counts, and teaching skills are evaluated: the candidate has to give a talk, which is used to evaluate how well the person can teach. I'm pretty sure it's the same in other universities.

Also, if you're interviewing for a teaching professor position, then you have to give a mock lecture with actual students in attendance.

I sympathize with your ideals about how things should be, but at some point one needs to accept the reality. There's no way to magically find time in professors' time for a review of papers "out of the left field". There aren't any incentives for that, and I don't imagine any universities investing extra money into that. I mean, most professors aren't formally paid for administrative tasks, unless they hold some kind of official title (Department Director, Dean etc.). What they're paid for is research and teaching.

One relatively easy way to fix that would be to publish reviews along with the papers. While you and I would both agree that many reviews are rubbish, many others still are quite insightful and can serve a more expressive indicator of quality than journal/conference ranking and citation count.
My line there was intentionally facetious. That being said, there are people who can legitimately afford to pay $100K in tuition. I was not one of them. I am doubtful that universities are able to distinguish between the two, but currently they pretend they can.

Some of those people are still alive today.
Ask HN: Circumstances for disclosing current salary in negotiation process?
Almost everything I have read regarding salary negotiation is to not disclose your current salary and let the company come up with the initial number so you can start negotiating from that amount.
I have also seen some discussion suggesting to disclose your salary if you are in the upper bounds of compensation. The argument was to not waste time with the interview process if the company doesn't want to pay that much. I feel like I am in that upper bound based on the salary dumps posted here a couple weeks ago.

Some details about my salary: 170K base, 16K Bonus, and 31K in RSUs that will vest this year.

Total Salary = 217K

I'm a full stack developer with an engineering background and 4 years experience. I'm applying to the big companies such as Amazon, Apple, Google, and Uber so I know they can pay this much but not sure how best to go about it in terms of negotiation. To me, it seems like it might be better to disclose my current salary so they don't throw me a low initial offer.

My second question is what I should state as my desired salary since I'm in the upper bound. If I again follow the recommendations from negotiation tactics, it would be 10-20% over current salary (239K to 260K). I feel that 260K is an unreasonable ask for my job level and experience.
A/B Testing Our Way to Product Success (Or How I Got Over Myself)
For years I only used distributions based on Debian, Slackware was my first distro but it's such a burden to get Wi-Fi going. I gave SUSE a shot and have not looked back, anything I need to install is available. I think my only issue with openSUSE was getting DMD (D language compiler) to cooperate for some reason. I'll likely just use Vagrant with Ubuntu as a work around. My only issue is the fact I can't have it on DigitalOcean as a one click install. :)
