He says that, but the way he explains it, it sounds like they just didn't have an overdraft limit on his account. To me, there isn't much difference in doing what he did and grabbing a handful of money out of an open cash register because no one is watching it.

Now if he got a letter in the mail saying they had extended him a huge loan, that would be different.

Sounds to me like this guy never really took responsibility for his actions.
> a well functioning finance industry

I'm fully prepared to argue we don't have that, though. Traders are throwing many millions of dollars at projects without even a pretense of improving market accuracy, or adding meaningful liquidity.

Algorithmic trading hasn't been especially good for accuracy - we suddenly have flash crashes with markets dropping 30% and recovering, based on no change in fundamentals. High speed trading hasn't been much good for it - paying to move your trading servers slightly closer to a T1 backbone doesn't improve liquidity meaningfully, or accuracy at all. And we already have serious, systematic fraud: was the money Goldman Sachs spent buying insider leaks from the Fed really good for the industry?

I take your point, and I don't begrudge finance its enormous economic role. But suggesting that the industry's growth in the last ~decade is about improving accuracy seems pretty questionable.
I'm glad they released it for the sake of Go awareness. I love webstorm.

But the Go experience inside Atom is already exceptional. Navigate to definition, auto formatting, auto manage imports, debugging and breakpoints, automatic running of tests, and near-PERFECT code completion.

If Gogland offers anything over that, it'd have to be pretty awesome for me to switch, because JetBrains tools tend to be heavy.

Wouldn't better advice be to switch providers? I think Yahoo has proven that they don't take security seriously. Between bypassing their own security team to backdoor for the NSA, and taking multiple years(!) to disclose hacks. They just have a terrible track record. They don't even know how the last 1 billion accounts were hacked. They're probably still vulnerable.

It's a two party situation if both parties are aware of it. I didn't read any implication in the article that the bank knew about this, it was a mistake either human or software that led to him having the credit line.

so only one party was aware of it, the customer, therefore their responsibility for the borrowing.
There are some instructions that are not privileged but may leak information about the host environment to the VM. Such instructions are referred to as sensitive instructions. To prevent sensitive instructions from being misused inside the VM, they are emulated.

Another explanation is that some older x86 processors may not have full hardware virtualization support, so Xen emulates the instructions to support a wider number of host configurations.

I may be completely wrong though.

I've been out with my fair share of brokers and salespeople, and Goldman's guys always stick out.

They're always incredibly nosey about what your firm is up to, what your opinion on the market is, what you're thinking in general.

All other brokers are happy to just eat an expensive meal and be pals.

GS guys act like they've all been personally told to get some useful information from the client.

I've noticed the difference when a guy moves away from GS, they stop being so focused on getting info.
>then associativity of integer multiplication, then some (probably builtin) rule that `n%n` is always 0.

Is this quite right? It's not true in general that (a * b) % c = a * (b % c). E.g. it's not true for 2,3,4. The relevant generalization is that (a * b) % b = 0, which has nothing to do with associativity.

That is closer to the core human nature for a lot of people. Many people want to live and enjoy life (more than enjoying the good perks of being honest). Playing by the rules is just a mean to an end not a purpose in itself.

I will never, ever move to NorCal.

I find the Silicon Valley tech industry degenerate, and I honestly have no desire to be part of it. I'd rather work a corporate job at a traditional company than have anything to do with SV. I'm not fond of the general non-tech atmosphere in NorCal either... the lack of quality Mexican food puts me off in a big way.

On top of that, NorCal is the most expensive part of the US. Even SoCal is considerably cheaper (and I'm honestly considering moving to SoCal when I have to flee Texas next year).
In fairness, the reports from this update are that they actually solved the battery issues.
I've switched from ruby-vim-linux back to java-ide-windows 2 years ago, while of course being a `downgrade` in a certain sense, having Intellij was A BLESSING, the VIM mode is very good and although of course I had to change some stuff in my workflow, I was surprised by how good and smooth the tool is and that I didn't feel "held back". I would consider using Intellij IDEs for other languages even if they're not "IDE oriented", there's no comparison between it and any other IDE I've used before(I make sure to point out to colleagues on Eclipse that they're cavemen to me and that my tool is like the sharpest fancy-Cook-knife and theirs is an old-blind-bread-knife and it's a piece of trash). Seriously, I consider it one of the best pieces of software I've seen and I plan on studying it's program design and code someday.

Answering your question, well, that's what they do, they have a lot skin in the `editor` and `developer tool` game and also a lot of stuff to build on top, so it's not a surprise they want to 'serve' a lot of languages. I don't know about Go specifically but I'd guess even if not 'filling a need' I'd think possible that they are capable of discovering ways of smoothing out the experience or something, which is valuable.
I was listening to a podcast on Dot Net Rocks where they were talking about Haskell and how it doesn't have nulls and has option types (Some/None) instead. The thing is, that isn't much different from nulls, you have to check if there is a Some or a None just like you have to check for nulls. Now, the program may not blow up but it isn't like Some/None save you any time.

How do Some/None fit into the scheme of declare objects, typically on the heap? Null means no value indicating that the object has not been initialized yet (I'm using C# as my basis for this) so what should it be, None(type)? I don't think NULLS are necessarily bad but just like the "evil" goto it has to be handled correctly in order to not be a problem

I think schadenfreude and Utopian promises (especially from a leader they already support) have a strong grip on people. At this point though the pro-demonetization rhetoric in India is running out of steam. First it was going to be a 'surgical strike on black money' that would end corruption and terrorism, so you had to stand in bank queues for your country the way soldiers stand at the border; then it was about 'going cashless' and digital payments; by now it's clear that the main thing that's needed is to print new notes as quickly as possible.

Almost everyone who was rich and corrupt on 7 November 2016 will still be rich and corrupt an year later.
I know exactly what you mean. I got interested in programming because I wanted to build cool things. I just dived right in trying to learn whatever was necessary to help me build games. Unfortunately, plenty people aren't coming to programming with that exploratory and playful mindset.

I also agree with you that math, CS and science education is really messed up, especially in my country.

I didn't see any indication in the article that the bank knew, and as there is no way this loan would pass their audit checks, I really doubt anyone got commission for it.

My guess would be a mistake in a system and a line of credit got attached to the wrong account. Should they have better checks in place, sure, but there's nothing in the article to suggest they knowingly lent him the cash.

> Lots of people take loans without precisely knowing where they'll find money to pay them back.

Hell, i'd say in almost all cases that is true. How am i going to know if i'll be at my current job long enough to pay back that car loan? Hypothetically i will have a job, and will pay it back, but in reality i have no idea how i'll pay it back.

At best, i can accurately predict X months of payments. After that, it's all just educated guesses.
I agree with this and your point brings up some other implications. I especially agree that there are a lot of companies with very questionable business models. Ironically, Goldman is helping many of these companies make money and be perceived in the market as "valuable" regardless of common sense, evidence, or more thorough financial models.

Most financial and economic theory seems to indicate that even moving all the Goldman employees to some other company will just result in other companies taking its place.

If we put in place rules to prevent another Goldman forming, another company will find a loophole at some point or even be far worse. I'm certainly not justifying their existence, actions, or anything else. Rather, I am pointing out that the market will just swallow brain power and redistribute it some other way that isn't ostensibly any different or "better."

If there is a problem that needs to be solved, it is not redistributing tech people from Goldman somewhere else, but rather fixing whatever societal, financial, economic, legal, and political conditions among other factors created the perceived evil entity swallowing the universe. If we chastise the tech people for working there or the situation itself, we should also instruct all the other people there to stop wasting their brains and apply them somewhere else.
It does say he "mistakenly" had this line of credit. At least in the US if $2 million "mistakenly" shows up in your bank account, and you know it's not yours and you spend it anyway, that's a crime.

The actual science surrounding cannabis is difficult to sift through. There's decades of pseudoscience and downright fallacies that have been perpetuated by supporters on both sides of this debate.

The reality is, we're only now really starting to do real research on cannabis and it's various effects (short term, and long term). It's foolish to believe we understand everything about it - because up until recently, it was illegal in most places to even conduct research.

Here's my attempt, please revise:

1. Our own attraction of our partners is modulated by our internal reward machinery.

2. This reward machinery doesn't depend on external signals very much. That means it's hard for our partners to manipulate.

3. Future work: Investigating how our intrinsic confidence signals are shaped by our partner's messages

4. More future work: Investigating these effects in larger groups

5. Takeaway: Mutual understanding is an important factor in interpersonal interaction

6. Takeaway: We should research a vocabulary to describe neural states; this will help researchers express interpersonal factors more precisely
