I have seen only 3 Teslas on the road in my lifetime, besides some promo by the Tesla store. 2 of them just last weekend on the Autobahn and they where slow as a turtle with about 120 km/h. I was going by with about 180 km/h.

The Land Registry registers land, not companies. Companies house registers directors, but not owners. There is no general register of company ownership, and to create one would obliterate the bearer share (which may well be a good idea) and impose registration transaction costs.

I'd favour a more direct approach of simply banning UK nationals from having anything to do with companies in tax havens at all, from Panama to the Isle of Man. No loopholes, no registers to dig through, confiscation if found.

This is something I have thought about often, living in Norway. Seemed like there must have been some period in the 50s-60s when building the most mind-crushing office buildings / hospitals / apartment blocks was the goal. Maybe the psychological effect of buildings vary over years? I.e. in the 50s-60s boring, 'efficient' buildings were seen as modern and progressive, and thus, gave a morale boost?

GS has $11BB in oil sector exposure. MS is $4.8BB. BofA and Citi are around $20BB. JPM is around $15BB. These are fractions of total loans outstanding (MS is 5%, all the rest are much smaller). Each of these banks has more in reserves than oil loan exposure. Does that sound scary to you?

For 26:

- Changed the order to have 1 at the end, aligned it at the bottom, then set its width to 100%. Then, for the parent container, click "Wrap children", so that 1 gets its own line. 1 should now be done.
- Next, click the parent container. For the row layout, align them the right end. This gets 2 and 3 properly aligned on the right side.
- Finally, click 3, and click "Align Self: End". This gets 3 properly positioned vertically.

The key insight for me was to realize the easiest way is to get it to work with the row layout. If 1 is at the beginning there's no magic mix of widths that will work, which means 1 needs its own line & therefore must be at the end position-wise. Haven't done 27 and 28 yet :).

I would appreciate any comments about Beamium and ideas about alternatives which are as easy to use and user-friendly.
The unfortunate problem with this is that while piping directly into bash can be exploited, it remains as one of the easiest ways to install programs.

Taking RVM for example. Their instructions are to run this: `curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable`. The script that is executed is 887 lines long. The installation is "complex", requiring a lot of different stages. Now, the solution to this is "Use a package manager". Sure, that works in a lot of cases. However, when you have something like RVM which is used across several major operating systems, and hundreds of different flavours, each with their own quirks and package managers it suddenly gets difficult to manage each of these.

The problem we face is, how can we make it easy to install something, while still being safe and maintainable?

Breaking this down further, there are 2 issues to solve. The first is "How do we ensure what we download is what the maintainer says that we should download?". I.e. How do we make sure there are no malicious injections. That one is simple. Use SSL.

The second issue is, "I want to install this thing but I don't know if I can trust the installer". Are you crazy!? This isn't an issue. If you don't trust the installer, you sure as hell can't trust the product. If you don't trust either of them, then you automatically don't trust the other and shouldn't be installing it.

The result is that, yes, people can maliciously serve up code when you pipe the output of curl through bash without you realising. However, this is no different than blindly trusting and installing a script.

>meaning companies can still take on debt to buy back their stock

Please explain the problem here. You're acting like there's some big deception imposed on the public due to companies choosing to return capital to shareholders via one specific mechanism. As if somehow they're buying back stock and "fooling" people into thinking they're making more money or something, and stock prices are irrationally rising. The buybacks, earnings, financials are all open for everyone to read. It's evident by some of your commentary that you can't be bothered.

If you don't agree with the price that other people are willing to sell for shares in this market, you are more than welcome to take the other side of that trade and sell into every buyer on the planet. I'm sure you're not doing that.

> However, when you have something like RVM which is used across several major operating systems, and hundreds of different flavours, each with their own quirks and package managers it suddenly gets difficult to manage each of these.

I'm not sure that really changes with an install script. You've got several major operating systems, hundreds of flavours with all kinds of quirks. And you don't even know what shell you're really running on. How do you know your install script will work in any reasonable way?

For example, all reasonable package managers will make sure existing files aren't overwritten, existing configs are not modified, all ownership/modes are reasonable by default. Sure, you can override that in post-install script, but it will stand out that you're doing something non-standard, because there's a post-install script.

> how can we make it easy to install something, while still being safe and maintainable?

Have you seen FPM? (https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm) It provides a nice, simple(ish) abstraction over all the packaging craziness.

> Are you crazy!? This isn't an issue. If you don't trust the installer, you sure as hell can't trust the product.

I do not trust either the installer or the app. If I have a simple package to deploy, I can: 1) check that there are no post/pre-install scripts 2) install the files on the system 3) contain/sandbox them using selinux / grsec / apparmor / chroot / separate user. I cannot easily do the same thing with an installer script, which by definition wants to merge foreign files into my running system.

Even better, it's in the interest of app creator to care about this and provide sandboxing by default, even if they trust the app.

My current understanding is that... "it depends". I like that you identified ground rules/preconditions for aggressive force-pushing.

Imagine a scenario for a large team (think kernel). Chat logs of a team developing some feature look something like:

A: Ok, I have finished with issue1, check out commit abcd1
B: Hm, does not work for me. Looks like race condition in foo.c, fixed in abce2. Going to sleep.
C: You broke init_foo(), reverted in qwer3
A: Ok, modified init_bar() works on my machine, check dvor4
C: LGTM

Yet release branch contains all those commits squashed into abcd1. Now person B (or anyone else) has no idea whether which versions of init_foo() and init_bar() work on their machine and what to fix.

We sometimes tend to forget (and tools like github/gitlab help with that) that not only git, but the whole workflow might be distributed and changing history in one place might desync it with other places. I think that unless all that history is absolutely unnecessary, e.g. done by a single developer, is extremely well tested, contains loads of "oops" commits, history should not be messed with. That's why all the warnings: git cannot manage all the references to history

For me personally, the security aspect isn't even the reason I dislike curl | bash installers. There's no standard behaviour for curl|sh, and it re-introduces many problems that were solved by package managers decades ago.

Each time I'm about to run `curl https://install.newhotness.io|sudo sh` I'm left with the following questions:

* Will it work? I'm on Arch Linux. This installer was probably tested on OSX and Ubuntu and deemed "portable". I've seen curl|sudo sh installers trying to apt-get installing dependencies.

* Where does it place files? I've got a ~/.meteor folder that's 784MB. Why would you install software libraries and binaries to $HOME? I now have to tell my backup tool to ignore it when backing up my home partition, great. The FHS was established for a reason, people.

* Correlary to the previous question: How do I uninstall it? Maybe all files were installed to a hidden folder in ~/, maybe there's some stuff in /opt, or /usr/local, or who knows where else. If the installer doesn't implement uninstall functionality itself, I now have to go hunt for the stuff it placed in my filesystem.

I understand the need to be able to distribute your software without having to implement native packaging for OSX/Debian/Ubuntu/Red Hat/Fedora/Arch/...

Docker solved this problem. If you're feeling lazy when it comes to distributing your app, just ship a Docker container and be done with it.

I disagree. TheyMadeThat may have a ton of weaknesses, but being too similar to LinkedIn is not one of them. The fundamental difference between TheyMadeThat and LinkedIn is that we focus on the actual work being produced and not mainly on tenure.

If you live in the Bay Area,

1) How much do you spend on housing, food (do you cook?), car/commute, child care, or other major budget posts? Total expenses is also helpful if you don't care to break it down.

2) In what area do you live? What type of housing?

3) What's your household? Single? Couple? Children? Friends?

Why do I ask?

I'm considering a post-doc at Stanford that would include relocating my family (wife + 2yr old) from Sweden. We're obviously not in it for the money, but we need to know how much to ask to make ends meet.

The base offer is ~$60k/year + medical insurance + one or two trips to visit home. My feeling is that I need additional funding, or my wife (also engineer, biotech) needs a job. Judging from Craigs List about $40k/year goes directly to rent for a small family.

Your answers help us form a realistic view on what we can expect, and what income we need to live near Stanford for a year or two. Hopefully it helps someone else, too.

Any comments welcome. My mail is in my profile for anything off-topic.
I disagree. With all their failures in mobile, you mention it yourself: consumers do know the brand. One of the reasons Intel keeps dominating the PC space is that even at its peak, AMD simply could not get get past the assumption that "chips must be from Intel" in many quarters, be them OEM or consumers. That's real brand power. In fact, their complete dominance is what undermines their own branding: people now assume what they buy will be Intel and don't even check. I bet the Best Buy sales guys studiously avoid mentioning AMD, because it would kill the sale. That's real brand power. Obviously it's not easy, being a component supplier rather than a direct b2c vendor, but I think that Intel punches well above its weight in brand power. It might not be as big as Apple or Nike yet, but it's definitely in another league from competitors.
