Assuming the price doesn't open at 109, maybe. The deal might still fail for a variety of reasons and then you are stuck with the stock and may or may not have to take a loss. If you are new to trading, I would say step away from event driven trading strategies. Understand trading first before playing this approach.

I had similar feelings about Upwork. I am closing my account very soon as well.
I don't like that theory. Sounds a lot like the current era.
Of course, but those kind of reports do not make the difference between at least theoretically preventable events and those are related either to basic physiology or to dying people for whom the choice is between dying a little bit faster due to their disease, or lingering as long as they can, and dying due to a "medical error" all while taking 50 different medications concurrently.

I am especially irked by the constant airplane analogies. Healthcare is not comparable to an assembly line nor modern aviation. The checklists/verifications/pathways only work when you take pretty healthy people and you submit them to a standardized, elective, safe procedure. In those cases, errors are obvious, and the efficacy of any quality improvement method is easy to assess.

Unfortunately, in most cases, healthcare works like a completely chaotic, black box kind of system, in which the output can hardly be predicted with any kind of certainty. It is easy to get excited by "quality initiatives" which may improve the one tiny and unimportant outcome that we measure, all while not realizing the severe side effects it causes on other outcomes.
Musk is basically undertaking a moon shot: either a huge success or crash and burn. There's not much point keeping reserves.
What I learned from this is not to ignore the warning signs of a psychopath client. Because you can easily get sucked in to a bad situation regardless of your good intentions, and you can't rely on the marketplace to resolve these disputes in your favor. This scenario can also play out on other freelancing sites, and it can also happen if you solicit clients directly and they turn out to be well-connected.
Totally agree with the article, and I am more than certain that such acts and extortionate behaviour are widespread on the platform.

It seems it is part of their business model to allow clients in developed countries to find people in developing countries (all with weak legal systems and corruption) to commit illegal acts (both violations of public and private law). Just look at how many jobs involve rewriting, scraping, penetration testing (really a guise for hacking others sites) modifying existing copyrighted content to circumvent laws.

Upwork as middleman profits -- and takes a blind eye to all this corruption - since cross border police investigations are so difficult to manage when dealing with corrupt countries.

In my case, I had my competitors procuring hackers off Upwork to take down my site. We found out because one person who was contacted on Upwork to bring my site down actually contacted me via my site and provided screenshots and other evidence. There was literally a job posted requesting contractors to take my site down.

We raised this with Upwork. They did nothing.

Guess what they said?

Their customer support asked if I had proof that my site had been hacked by the specific person who posted the job on Upwork and that if had suffered financial loss as a result of the hacking! It wasn't merely enough for their client to procure contractors on the platform to commit an illegal act. They wanted proof that I suffered financial loss!!

However, I can say that we are considering a civil suit against them. It would be interesting to see how this impacts their brand.

> There's also the issue of self-censorship, where users will refrain from posting their opinion in case they get downvotes and negative karma.

This is the price for shadow-banning which some blogs use to censor freedom of speech. The hosters may consider it super smart to silence unwelcome messengers. Actually they just expose their own intolerance.

> The things people post here are fascinating, but the comments, in my honest opinion, aren't.

Truth can be inconvenient and offending, causing downvotes. People often try to silence offenders as "hate speakers" these days just because of (justified) criticism. It is evidence of increasing intolerance.
Totally agree with the article.

I think you mean "use-span", not life-span. I can imagine an electric car doing 1M KM easily, and surpass 2M by manual driving. Furthermore, if we enter the robocar age, this may go up dramatically as computers may be able to drive much safer and therefore drivup the "use-span" even more.

Four Tips for Setting Up a Server Room for Your Company
A person's background is what forms their perspective on the world. That background and perspective affects the content of their posts. You can't separate the two things so easily.
Probably because they're worried about keeping two providers in sync throughout the entire world, or they don't have a DNS wizard on staff.

I don't see why sync would be a huge problem; these days moving services usually involves slowly draining active connections from the old addresses while new connections go to the new address. If it takes a day for all the clients to move to the new address then fine, the migration just takes longer.
IIRC Google is uses amp favorably when computing search rankings.

I think AMP and Facebook's Instant Articles are terrible for the web. They enforce "good behavior" in web deign by using a straight jacket, which gives Google or Facebook even more control over what types of web components and behaviors are viewed as "standard". And, as you said, it traps the reader in the Google or Facebook ecosystem.
Yes, because (as I just said), encrypting files mitigates systems problems outside the scope of the secure channel problem. A secure channel doesn't help you if the bag of bits you send down it ends up persisted on an exported, unencrypted filesystem.

That doesn't mean that redundant clientside encryption of files is a sensible feature for a secure channel to have.
Plus the current model is really fragile. Come up with a way to disrupt 4-5 pacific ports at the right time and the world would plunge into depression due to the supply chain disruption.
> Eich's support for Prop 8 was relatively insignificant.

So you will personally fail to condemn a disagreeable action as long as you judge it to be ineffective?

In other words, effective support for immoral ideas (in your view) is the objectionable thing?
It's worth noting that many developed world's medical systems have a problem with the acute-chronic gap. Remember that pretty much all systems grew out of acute care - as a result, nearly all of them are quite good at it. But one of the problems with increasingly good acute care, as well as general increase in public health is the rise of chronic care issues.

The sheer inefficiency and ineffectiveness of America's chronic care is not alone. Here in Canada, it's pretty clear that our system strains when put up against chronic care.

There's certainly a lot to fix, but as you've pointed out, doctors are a huge component in the current system that has the change. This points to the fact that somehow we need to engage and get buy in from them.

One of the things that I'm always wary about when reports like this come out is that while they present a wonderful opening into engaging with current stakeholders, it's also very easy to put current stakeholders on the defensive, and have them quickly adopt a us-vs-them mentality, something that certainly is not conducive to change.
But he said 'Any'. I'm looking for a counterexanple.
For reference, I wasn't able to access any of the affected sites until around 5pm on the day of the attack, and I don't even live in a big city, though I do live on the east coast.

If you look at HN comments from posts about the attack while it was ongoing you can see plenty of people who were also affected by the attack (for example, people looking for name servers that cached longer than allowed, or opendns' smartcache). I understand why you think "the media" sensationalizes things, but in fact it is absolutely not complicit in saying things that are not true, even for the sake of embellishment (i.e. look at what happened to Brian Williams).
I like that it isn't directed at any specific language but can be taken for whichever language the reader wants. Mostly good advice!

The vote counts weren't removed to make the comments more comprehensible or the threads easier to mentally rank. Their removal may very well have made those tasks harder.

Vote counts were struck because they were causing fights.

Paul Graham decided to risk sacrificing a little bit of comprehensibility in exchange for some extra civility. I think the tradeoff has worked very well --- especially because incivility crowds out comprehensibility anyways, so that almost anything you do to make a thread more civil will have the knock-on benefit of making it easier to read.

This. In Australia, half of the doctors do a 6 year undergraduate degree in medicine straight out of highschool while half do it as a 4 year postgraduate degree. Those that do the postgraduate degree don't need a PhD level GPA (they just need to do well in a test). Residency is not some sort of hazing ritual.

Everyone is much happier, and it fixes the supply vs demand problem.
Buying an 8 year old car means buying a used car, no? In that case you are comparing the polluting factory to no factory at all.

Fleets of self driving cars are called public transport or taxis (depends on your preference), and have been around for a while. The environmental benefit of exchanging the bus driver with a more efficient steering method is probably offset by the idea that the inefficiencies of cars compared to buses for mass transit. Probably a net win for taxis though, but nothing revolutionary.

> working those extra 3 to 4 hours per day might mean you're making enough money to retire in your early 40s.

The only way you could retire in your 40s as a doctor these days is if you were already independently wealthy before becoming a doctor.

If you go into medical school today, you're looking at finishing off your student loan payments in your 40s (depending of course on which school you go to, where you do your residency, whether you do a fellowship, and what specialty you choose).

The pre-tax, pre-insurance, pre-expenses, gross pay looks high on paper, but the lifetime ROI on going into medicine is nowhere near as good as what you describe, no matter how many hours you work.
I think their first point was the massive amount of money NSA uses is to make weaknesses in the internet infrastructure. While this likely isn't an example of a specific NSA hack being exploited, with all that time, money, and expertise it's likely one they could have fixed.

We've had some pretty nasty hacks in recent years, and with the National Security Agency that takes the public's money and actively makes our systems less secure, they're sure not helping our problems...
I think that the freelance marketplace is not good for the freelance economy as a whole. A lot of the time, it creates a race to the bottom as far as pricing, and you have to compete with workers overseas undercutting you at every corner.

When I first got started freelancing, I used eLance (which is now UpWork). I had a similar experience with a client, they suspended my account for 2+ months, and I won the dispute at the end. If I didn't have my own clients outside of eLance, I would have been screwed and not even able to pay my rent. After that, I stopped using the service and haven't looked back 4 years later.

I have a friend who actually does know someone on the executive leadership team at UpWork, I just emailed him with your article - hopefully something positive can come of that. I really hate it when all around bad human beings go around and try to make people's lives harder.

Dan and Scott recently added a "favorites" feature that you can see if you click the timestamp for a comment. Saving a comment to your favorites publishes it in a list of favorites on your profile.

I think they're not especially happy with how this feature is working out.

But I also think they're very close to a version of the feature that would work quite well:

* The "lists" page on the site should include a list of users that have "favorite" comments (at least until the site has so many users with favorites that the list is too long to make sense) with links to their "favorite" pages. This seems trivially easy, and would help bootstrap the feature.

* There should be a master list, linked perhaps on the top of the page (maybe replacing the useless "comments" link) to a list of the most-favorited comments.
The problem with /bestcomments is that it's based on votes, and thus does not in fact track the best comments.
> With respect to concerns about the list price of CDV, past price actions enabled the provision of consistent supply of a product with high carrying costs and very limited purchase volume of 200-300 units per year. The list price of CDV does not reflect the actual cost of the product to hospitals that purchase it, after rebates and other adjustments. Because CDV has a relatively limited shelf life and the minimum CDV purchase requirement for Valeant is roughly 3-5 times higher than recent annual sales volume, we have written down at our own expense approximately half of purchased quantities in the past few years. The company does not generate material revenue from this product, which represents less than 0.01% of our total revenue.

A pharmaceutical that is being produced in such low volumes, irrespective of how mundane and cheap the raw chemical may be, cannot be produced cheaply.
Because I have to pause my train of thought to type. And the longer I have to pause, the more likely I am to lose some vital part of the mental model I am juggling. Therefore, being able to type quickly and get back to thinking sooner is a good thing.

I mean, going only by lines of code written per day, one would think I would be content with being able to type only at maybe 8 words per minute, and that's on a good day! But it is obvious to anyone why being able to type only 8 words per minute can be detrimental to a programmer.

Anyone in decent health and with moderate intelligence can achieve most things (s)he wants in life.

People love finding excuses, but in the end, there's literally an opportunity to make money around every corner. Often it's just a matter of being willing to act on that opportunity. I don't really come from a privileged family and I haven't done too bad for myself at a (relatively) young age. I know plenty of others that have as well.

Half of the problem of poverty is the mindset; some people have been let down so many times that they just don't care anymore. And yet, it takes a change of mindset to get out of poverty.

Never, ever give a price break without a scope change. Apart from the obvious $/hr benefits, it's great way to figure out if the person on the other end of the line is an abusive psychopath. A professional will understand that you're trying to help them achieve a realistic value for their budget. A psychopath will take it as a personal affront and become transparently manipulative and/or abusive. This is a great time to cut off contact before it escalates to the level shown here.

Except now there's another competing standard in the JavaScript world. How long until a feature is added to Yarn and not NPM or vice versa, and a package only works in one of them?

I don't mean to be rude, but your last paragraph comes across a bit strange, it sounds like you have a sense of entitlement to having NPM work the way you want. The project is open source, you can fix it, send a pull request, and the whole community will benefit. I wonder if it would have been better if the Yarn developers would had done the same.
The problem is in PayPal's case, 2FA has been terrible for years. I've even been locked out of the account for a whole week because of their shitty SMS sending service. This prompted me to disable 2FA on Paypal, because weirdly enough that makes me feel "safer" (as in safer from losing my money due to Paypal's stupidity by being locked out of the account).

So in this case I'm certainly not one to say "hey, mistakes were made - let's give them another chance." They've been getting reports about their 2FA system for years. So there's no excuse at this point.

About half word of mouth and referrals. I work through an agency now and get customers through them. Once in a while I get a lead/customer from articles on my blog.

Every business has a backlog of bugs and enhancements they don't have resources for, so it's not so much a matter of finding them as it is persuading them you can help. Listening and understanding their business problems is the key.

Despite this, I consider it very likely in probably the next month or two that were going to see ISPs blocking people for this. All the objections as to why it's hard are true, but ISPs can't do nothing, either... a DDoSed internet generates angry customers and support calls too, along with everybody else being angry. And nobody else can do anything about it either; it's the best, if not the only, choice in the set of bad choices we now face.

I'd be surprised if they aren't working on it right now.
It's made worse in short term this way, yes. But the car production happens and will happen anyway - Musk is only a small fraction of that now. Tesla is aiming to convince everyone to switch to eco-friendly cars, which means that besides adding its own production, it's basically trying to force everyone else's production to switch to making electric cars.

So you can't look just at this year's increase in numbers of cars manufactured vs. environmental savings of those cars when in use. You want to look at how car manufacturing and use will evolve over the years. Tesla is trying to change the trajectory of the entire industry, and so far it seems to be succeeding.
Fachhochschule is a college, somewhere between postsecondary vocational training and a bachelor degree. You might call the degrees you get there "applied bachelors", and yes, they're "less" than "academic bachelors".

It's like high school diploma < postsecondary vocational training < applied bachelor < academic bachelor < master < phd < postdoc < special professor < normal professor.

Pretty much every level is looked down upon by those above it.

That's still using the past to predict the future. There's nothing inherent about coke and Pepsi being 10% apart - so they may have that ratio, until they don't.
Yes, v-for is not a for loop in the sense of looping and building up data. It's a pure repeater presenting already existing arrays of data.

Then you get into the gray zone with filters and v-if but somewhere you have to do switching and for many things, having the code where it is actually used makes most sense.

The data should decide what will show up and the template should decide how. Eg: if data.ok img.url=ok.png else img.url=error.png

The if there is totally okay to have in your template because it's deciding how the data should be presented. The data model should not need to know which images are being used, or even care that you are using images at all.
