They credit Nadella with increasing the stock price... but MSFT performance is basically the same as the overall NASDAQ composite (of course I'm sure MSFT itself is a large portion of that index) as well as the larger S&P 500 index.

Sure, it's in your interest for your wages to be as high as possible, but does this maximize overall welfare?

By banning competition, the H-1B person's wage and the employer's profits go down and the product price increases.

How much depends on the relative elasticities.

Isn't this richer people banning much poorer people (immigrants) from competing with them?
This is definitely not unique only to AWS but also GCP in my own experience. We sometimes had Sentry error alerts due to DB connection error coming from the web app hundreds of times in a short window of 5 minutes and GCP dashboard would still shows green the entire time. Disclaimer: I have worked with GCP for 2 years and AWS for 8+ years.
Sorry typo, it should be the second blank is the empty space where the user input goes.

I just tried your solution with cleaned_data["formfield1"] instead of cleaned_data("formfield1","") and it didn't work for me, it came back with the following error message when I submitted the form:

>'builtin_function_or_method' object is not subscriptable

I think you have to have the empty quotes after the form field and I think that's what's capturing the user input

so here "form.cleaned_data("formfield1","") seems to be telling django the form name and then the second field is where the associated user input goes which is then passed to the model.
Also to further amend my comment, the BGP communities (990 20912 21001) instruct routers to:

990 - Do not send route to BGP customers, or peers.
20912 - <Undocumented, presumably internal to Cogent>
21001 - Route is NA internal or customer route.

Yes, "flash crashes" exist, and normally because of liquidity disappearing. Yes, algos are basically sheep that all bail at the same time. But overall, the net effect is massively beneficial to everyone except lazy traders (which include fund managers who miss the days of getting lots of steak dinners from their favorite brokers).
You can call functions and methods in templates, and you can use if else, they actually have all the tools you need to do things like provide helper functions and produce a full html select with something like:

{{ select "Order" "form_name" .value .options }}

Granted those helper functions don't exist in the base templates, but the tools are there to build them.

How to start?

2. Wake up at 5am and work 2 hours daily.

1. But most important, just create a landing page to see if there are any signups before you spend a year working on it.

3. If there's any interest, work on a minimal paying version that has a positive cash flow from day one.

4. Sales and marketing. Invest in a good ad campaign, word of mouth, and some user research if you can.

5. Fail fast, try more than one marketing idea.

It's not in this image[0] which, judging from the PIA number, is either the same or a very close one (temporaly).

My guess: since the one I linked has other colouring artifacts (because Juno rotates, and the camera is a luminance sensor with filter wheels for colours), the thing you spotted is probably an artifact that ocurred when trying to better align the colour channels.

The issue isn't how much one unit of currency is worth, but how its value degrades over time and where newly-created money introduced into the economy.

The first concern - it's lower-middle class people that want to save in simple currency, because the transaction and management fees are relatively larger. And so inflation represents a direct drag not on their month-to-month budget, but on their ability to save up economic bargaining power for the future.

The second concern - when creating new money, we would expect areas where that new money is spent to inflate quicker than areas where it is not (conversely, if we printed a new $10T and dropped it in a deep sea trench, we would see zero price inflation). Newly created money is seen by consumers for things that can be financialized - housing, cars, education, healthcare. This has the effect of replacing capital assets with monthly rents - the banks don't actually give out newly printed money, but merely lend it. This discourages these expenses from ever being paid off, leading to decreased economic power due to higher burn rates.

Good question. Don't know whether it's a reaction to US FATCA and other governments and supranational bodies cracking down on tax havens (which HK does not want to be seen as), but the fact remains that while 10 years ago you could stroll into any bank and open an account, in the last couple of years you need to provide very compelling reasons and documentation. (Note that the banks tend to not comment on their policies and decision criteria - so they might well tell you that they'll open an account, but when you walk in they will (in good old Chinese fashion) decline for some mysterious reason and recommend that you try "maybe tomorrow".)

FWIW, my old 20k-student university (a few years back) had tons of printers sitting wide open on IPv4. The university had a full /16 that was used a lot for misc. computers and other equipment (no firewalls).

Used to be very convenient that I could send off a few documents to print before I left home at morning, and have them waiting at the printer when I arrived at campus.

Even after they added "swipe your card to print" to reduce waste, using plain old lpr to the printer IP still worked (it even cut in front of the queue, to much grumbling from the chemistry students we shared computer labs with).
> I sometimes wonder if BIG is counterintuitively more popular with libertarians than with liberals/socialists.

It's really not - and the only reason it might even seem like it is is that most discussions really only talk about the theory, not specific policy details.

As a concrete example: let's say that everyone agrees on some fixed amount that should be guaranteed - perhaps $5,000/month. The actual figure doesn't really matter, so you can replace it with whatever you personally think the right value is[0]. The only important thing is that (a) it is a fixed amount (each individual knows exactly what they will receive ahead-of-time), and (b) every person somehow agrees that it is the "right" amount.

Now, that money is cash, so everyone's free to spend it how they want. But invariably, there will be some person for whom that $5,000 isn't enough. Maybe they have an accident that leaves them with a career-ending disability. Maybe they decided to go to Vegas and bet it all on red. Maybe they made a bad investment. Maybe they gave it to a family member who absconded with it.

There are all sorts of situations that you cannot rule out occurring unless you also restrict people from having the agency to do what they want with their money[1]. No matter what that fixed amount is, there will always be someone who ends up needing a bit more in order to put food on the table, whether that comes from bad luck or bad decision-making or both.

The problem is that the libertarians are only on board with giving the $5,000/month on the presumption that it replace the vast array of other government-provide welfare and social services that cost money. So if you say, "well, at that point, it falls to the state to pick up the bill", then you've already turned off libertarians, because they're only on board with the idea because it allows them to dismantle the existing state welfare system.

But on the other hand, if you say "well, tough luck - they had the money, and they still couldn't manage, so it's their responsibility to figure it out" - well, that's not really going to work politically. So, the only way that you could have this (politically, not economically) is to retain some form of a welfare state, at which point libertarians have long since lost interest.

[0] You can even replace it with a linear scale if you'd prefer - again, as long as each person is only entitled to a specific amount.

[1] And if you argue in favor of that, fine, but you're arguing for a fundamentally different system altogether, not a guaranteed income. (And libertarians would hate that system even more than the status quo).

IANAL but unless you are actually competing with your employer, you are fine.

I have worked in major companies and heard far too many developers whining about their non-competes and not taking actions.

Then I know a few who never ever complained about non-compete or any other such non-sense. They are the ones who actually started companies. I am also one of them. Most of my ex-coworkers did their best to scare me and make me quit my sidebusiness but luckily I didn't listen to them.

Just be smart, respect your employer, don't steal their ideas, code, or time. Also don't brag about your sidebusiness. Your boss will have to file paperwork if they hears about your sidebusiness. Don't complicate life for them.

> PHP is otherwise a mess, insecure, and should be pretty much avoided

That doesn't ring true to me. Personally, I think a lot of the perception is just that PHP appeals to a broad audience, so there's a lot of unskilled people producing code.

There are some language inconsistencies so "messy" might be justified. I don't see it, though, as inherently less secure than other popular languages.

If you mean, for example, SQL injection, php does provide the correct path, and it's in their documentation. Sure, it's possible to use aribtrary strings in SQL, but it's also possible in Python, Ruby, Perl, and so forth. Similar for traps like eval().

I'm not sure if you've ever tried this, but years ago, I was part of a group that operated like this:

a.) Meet in a meeting room for a talk about some topic.
b.) After the talk, anyone interested would walk over to a pub for some drinks and conversations.

We noticed roughly the same thing that you noticed - we'd lose roughly 90% of our attendees between step a and b. So, we decided to switch things up a little bit and started meeting in a pub. A local watering hole had a private room that they'd make available to us once a month. Then, we'd arrange for some delicious smelling appetizers to be delivered right when the educational portion of the evening was ending...

Between delivering appetizers and staying in the same venue, we managed to change things around and we ended up having a majority of people stick around for at least a cup of coffee and some food after.
Ah, nice. I'll need to look into setting this up. Thanks!
I wish there were better UI based ditros but the value is kinda limited since people doing the really advanced stuff know Linux specific networking like qdisks and iptables.

You pretty much learn the commands while reading about how the stuff works. I've seen a ton of horribly configured psfense boxes because it exposes all this functionality to people that honestly shouldn't have it and don't know what they're doing.

It's like regedit for networking. If you know enough about the registry to be fooling with it you don't really need a UI but it's nice to have

It has nothing to do with "better". It has to do with policy.

We've had a lot of success with pfSense. BGP works, IPSEC works, most things work quite well with no headaches. My previous employer used a Watchguard firewall and to be honest pfSense was a much better experience all around.

Except for cloud VOIP. Neither 8x8 nor Shoretel worked worth a darn through this firewall. We even paid for the gold support and opened more than one support case with no luck. It appeared to be a RTSP issue, SIP didn't have any trouble. And it was intermittent. Most of the time it would work, occasionally it would not. Eventually we replaced pfSense with a Cisco router for our phones and it worked fine.
Turns out an excellent way to improve your skill is to actually implement things.
Wow, do I ever disagree with you. I'm not a market fundamentalist, but supply and demand are still relevant concepts here. The market would demand far more developers at $50,000 than the market would supply. It would be the opposite at $250,000 (maybe... there would still be a lot of demand at that level). If corporations can't hire on there terms and conditions they offer, they need to sweeten the pot. If I try to hire a top lawyer at 50k a year and a large open office, people will say "uh, you need to offer more money and a better office." They don't say "oh, there's a shortage of lawyers, so clearly you need to have the power to bestow US residency and worker rights, and remain in control of them, to coerce an immigrant into taking that job"!

As for the company's perspective, honestly, I couldn't care one whit. If you can't offer competitive wages and working conditions, that means the worker has found a higher value role somewhere else. Why on early would I, or anyone really, have any interest in helping a corporation force an individual to remain in a lower value job? It's a basic human rights issue as far as I'm concerned, but you know, there's a reason human freedom and generally free markets often go together. No, I'm not a market fundamentalist, but the freedom choose where and how you will work seems pretty basic to me.
In case anybody else is wondering - these details are public. Any time you see a story about a UK company, and this one is no exception, you can get some information about it from the company registry at Companies House: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/

1. type in company name or part thereof

2. select it from the list

3. click the "people" tab and see if you recognise any names from the article or whatever (this can be helpful if there were several likely-looking results)

4. click "filing history" and download the accounts and annual return (with list of shareholders)

Most of the time this isn't actually very interesting, but if you're being nosey, there's no reason not to. (The reduced accounts you have for small companies (turnover < £15m, something like that...) are usually particularly unilluminating, though some of the figures can be suggestive and the shareholders list may be interesting.)
Thank you for taking my response in the right way and responding thoughtfully. I do think we have a difference of opinion, but I respect the level of thought you've put into your stance. I've mentored at "Ladies learning code" events before and wasn't told to leave, they also have the occasional male participant, so I think this varies per organizer or organization.

What I don't understand is how people can support Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac/Sallie Mae loan guarantee programs and not UBI-style welfare programs.

They're almost the same thing. The government is essentially providing a subsidy, and middlemen suck up most of the value, leaving the presumptively intended beneficiaries with almost nothing.

Government encourages mortgages with loan guarantees. Home prices rise. Existing builders, owners, and lending institutions benefit, and the new buyers are less able to afford the higher prices and debt loads.

Government encourages student loans with loan guarantees. Tuition prices rise. Universities and lending institutions benefit, and the students are less able to afford the higher prices and debt loads.

UBI encourages purchase of lifestyle necessities with monthly checks. Rent, gas, and grocery costs rise. Landlords and business owners benefit, and people still have to work in addition to the monthly check they are now utterly dependent on.

You can't move the supply curve by fiddling around with prices or demand. You can't provide everyone with their lifestyle necessities independent of work or trade just by sending out checks.

If you want to make home ownership increase, you have to build more affordable (and more-affordable) homes. If you want higher education to expand, you have to build more universities and hire more professors. If you want more unemployed people to not starve and not be homeless, you have to acquire and distribute more food and beds. Why do people persist in thinking you can solve problems by just printing/taxing more money and transferring it to certain groups?

Right, and some open source CMS systems try to provide similar capabilities--widgetized themes in WordPress or Panelizer in Drupal, for example.

But the UIs are complex, and getting good performance is a challenge because of all the layout info stored in the database. They are not something a capable dev team would want to build a product on top of. Fine for empowering content authors though.
If you think that's what happened, why don't you make that argument? What is that thing unrelated to test scores which still has value?

(Similarly, what is the hidden thing in transit costs, in health care, etc?)

"Maybe there's a hidden thing this guy missed, and I can't stand people like him" isn't really a counterargument.
