hyper-nationalistic, filled with bravado, lauding yet reserved, sense of authenticity, extremely humble, it's austere, category of conversation in many other contexts, optimism from a source that does not appear to use it as an instrument of control

Sorry English is not my first language and it is not easy for me to understand such advanced writing.

Is it that you like the sort of pride that quantifies the material wealth of the nation and attributes it to a market based economy and furthermore there are other sorts of pride that do you not like?
I have never heard of spaces before. But it's a decent concept. Had I known about this earlier I would have given it a try.

I am guesssing this does not belong in a separate app by itself for google. It does not have the kind of high volume addictive app idea that google cares about. This is only used when you plan something and after that you don't ever touch it until the next time. So I see why they are killing it, but why did they launch it at all?
And the next fifteen years of Moore's Law will take that down to, what, 1 GPU month even without further algorithmic improvements? Which are anticipated?

I still see things that use 2-digit years, twenty years after the last millennium bug should have been fixed.
Using a throwaway for obvious reasons.

>This seems to be Uber's modus operandi every single time they're in trouble and it almost always seems to backfire on them, PR wise.

From attending all hands meetings I get the sense TK has a victim mentality and sees himself doing no wrong or Uber doing no wrong.

Since we're clearly not wrong, it has to be the critic, right? /S

To be fair, we do get some BS scandals related to surge (they turned off surge for natural disasters! They're profiting off us! They left it on, they're profiting off our misery!) but almost all of our scandals are self inflicted.

>I'm curious though, what tipped her off?

I'd wager an employee.

Employees are very angry now at leadership, and in our last few all hands / CTO speaking to everyone (something they put together just for this week I think) people questioned publicly what's been questioned in the shadows for a while.

For instance, Uber has a list of stupid "cultural values" that include values like "always be hustling" (yes, it's a direct quote) and I've been in private conversations with people who find these values obnoxious and poorly written. Never raised to management though.

But this all hands people threw these bullshit values at TK and Thuan and pointed out how bad they are, including this specific "always be hustling" value. The questioner even referenced Zootopia ("It's called a hustle, sweetheart") to skewer it.

Also it was pointed out how our perf review process doesn't reward collaboration between teams at all (hence the politicking).

Felt almost like a press conference with ace reporters fighting against an unprepared, incompetent politician. Our CTO even cried, which was a little dramatic for me.

Happy to see I'm not the only angry employee.
Yes, but then the program would never terminate, because that's what happens at the end of main. If main returns, it's saying that the rest of the code in main has executed.
>But that doesn't change the fundamental relationship between taxing profit and investment.

There is no fundamental relationship between taxing profit and investment. If a company makes 20 million a year after tax it is not going to drop everything and stop making a profit at all if it starts making 15 million a year after tax.

There is a fundamental relationship between demand and investment, which is why raising "profit taxes" (corp tax, dividend tax) and spending the money will lead to increased investment (to service increased demand).

>reduces the incentive for individuals to invest in corporations, since all investment decisions are based on ROI projections

Reducing profit across the entire economy reduces the ROI projection at the same time as reducing alternative opportunities which the investor can switch to.

>Moreover, sometimes it is more effective to sit on profits

For the company. The economy as a whole suffers immensely when the corporate sector does this.
Market dynamics should not be allowed to jeopardize people by not respecting standard safety procedures.

Stupid people would do a lot of stupid things to themselves or others willingly.
Some would gladly sell their children into slavery. That doesn't mean this market dynamic should be allowed.

Point is, there is some lower limit that should not be crossed and crossing it should be universally considered bad.

Also I don't think you will always the more expensive option for an undetermined amount of more comfort.
I am sure someone out there will willingly design your own custom one of a kind record size airplane. I doubt you will be willing to pay for it.
To be honest, so is every successful country. That is why they are successful, because they once had or still have power over others.

I'm not an American, but if you feel quilty because of the past, I'm more than welcome to get a little financial contribution to my life. I'm from small and poor country, no great history or privilege.
That quote was a delightful and relevant response, which even extended the criticism to all philosophy.
> Why not also remove DDoS sites?

Because that hurts their business model. They offer commercial protection against DDoS and as such it is not in their business interest.

(Pretty sure you already knew that, just spelling out the obvious)
You forgot the most important data point of all, the theft of IP from the British.

Funny how that's not accounted for much these days, but America's historic success as a direct result of African slavery and Native Indian genocide, is.
This seems to be a showcase of ShelfJoy’s functionality on the example of “Bowie’s 100 books” list, which apparently was supplied by his archivist for an exhibition David Bowie Is from a few years ago.
No, he isn't reading it incorrectly. Buffett is claiming that on aggregate, because of the fees, the passive investors will be better off than the active investors.

From page 23:

A lot of very smart people set out to do better than average in securities markets. Call them active investors.

Their opposites, passive investors, will by definition do about average. In aggregate their
positions will more or less approximate those of an index fund. Therefore, the balance of
the universe—the active investors—must do about average as well. However, these
investors will incur far greater costs. So, on balance, their aggregate results after these costs
will be worse than those of the passive investors.
Is there anyone as good as him? He has become a household name, but maybe there are other Buffets out there that we don't talk about?
Nietzche fails to provide any insight here for two reasons:

1. It's tempting to read this as Nietzche disproving the naturalist fallacy, but if you read this carefully, that's not what Nietzche says. On the contrary, Nietzche is using the naturalist fallacy to claim stoics are wrong because stoicism isn't natural. This completely misses the fact that "natural" does not imply "right" and "unnatural" does not imply "wrong".

2. Early stoics did use the naturalist fallacy to justify their positions, but I haven't come across this frequently when reading modern writers. Indeed the article you are responding to did not make this argument. As such, posting this here is basically a straw man argument: the passage you're quoting attacks a statement that was never stated.

This passage was fallacious when it was written, and it's irrelevant to the contemporary conversation on stoicism.

I'd hazard that all of the prepared food one's come from the vendor having multiples.

I like the party line analogy, and for once the spectre of anonymous trolls isn't used as a catch all.

Twitter definitely jumped the shark a while ago. The hashtags got hijacked by brands and activists for hollow signaling and marketing. Retweeting and quoting got repurposed to shame and bully. Forced brevity got redirected into hot takes and memes. It was the core community who did it all first.

I suspect Twitter has been pushed aside by many for more private and granular services like Discord and Slack. Discovery there is a problem though, a million chat rooms of 10 people each make for a poor community. In some ways it's like the living rooms of Iran: most know public discourse is messed up and broken beyond repair, so they only speak openly behind closed doors.

If Twitter could admit that and shift gears, there might still be some hope and a future in it. As it stands, all they're doing is giving people better shovels to dig themselves deeper into the hole of their own making.
Pardon the dullness of my mind, but I have quite a bit of difficulty 'getting the point' that Nietzche is making (against?) Stoics. Could someone explain it in simple terms? I always read such texts with a lot attention and am often not able to make perfect sense of it. Pardon my asking.
How Lego Built a Social Network for Kids That’s Not Creepy
In the U.S., about a dozen people have serious injuries each year due to turbulence in airplanes. It's quite a while since the last fatality, but a majority of injuries incurred while flying are due to turbulence.

The injuries are so rare precisely because people are instructed to keep their seat belt fastened whenever seated. I don't fly very much, but have been twice in a turbulence where I surely would have hit the ceiling and latest on the downward trajectory, would have hurt myself and others - if I hadn't been buckled up.
Postmodern error handling would probably be treating any error as a successful result.

You are probably getting downvoted because it seems unlikely that a multiple of GDP had to anything to do with Mr. Buffets analysis of American Wealth.

Okay, so when I object and say "cronyism" you hear "let's hire idiots just because they're women". It doesn't have to be either of these.

A simple thing you can do is publicly state, "we encourage women and other minorities to apply". And that's all. You encourage them. You don't have to give them any preferential treatment to pad your numbers (and I don't think anyone ever really does that, but a lot of people seem to be afraid that it happens). You just have to explicitly direct your invitation to them. That's enough to increase your hiring pool and give your company culture a nudge in the right direction. If you object to the alleged benefits of having a diverse staff, I can't imagine you would object to attracting more people to apply who otherwise wouldn't.

A further point I want to emphasise: what is merit? Who decides what is merit? If you think being nice to others has no merit (or is not "good performance"), then you may end up hiring toxic employees like Fowler's sexual harasser and then keep him around because of your merit metric. This will end up costing you good employees like Fowler.
All his examples use log(x) as the natural logarithm of x. I fail to see the confusion.

I haven't dug deep into stoicism, but it appears to have a lot of overlap with buddhist philosophy. Is that a fair comparison?
Aside from the other concerns raised that I see here, weight/balance would be off if the passenger count was off.

The pilots use weight/balance to calculate things like range, takeoff speed, altitude ceiling, stall characteristics, and so forth. If the plane is heavier than they think, that's not good.
While I think it's important to remember these atrocities, I think that for economic understanding it's important to note that these were not the major drivers of growth.

Remember that atrocities like that happened in many places that did not grow into giant economies. Stealing land and enslaving people may have given a head start, but clearly something else delivered the big gains.

If you look at the history and the economic charts, the big boost was started by the industrial revolution.
Just tried the demos on this website.

I tried to extract text from a pdf that already has searchable text, which can be copy-pasted. This should be the easiest task of all but it made mistakes in every second word.

Then I asked the website to make a pdf into a word-file. It just inserted the whole pdf as a picture in word.
Yeah, I made the "capitalist hajj" to Omaha in 2005. It was fun, though I didn't really learn anything I didn't already know by reading his stuff. Like he says, buy Vanguard mutual funds.
> Wouldn't we then expect homicide rates in religious USA and Pakistan to be much lower than in secular Sweden?

If you were able to control for all other conditions, possibly but not necessarily. Thus I don't think comparing homicide rates in the USA, Pakistan and Sweden proves or disproves anything.
Yeah, particularly because the specific HTML that causes the problem is known.

If you have perfect information about what resources were requested when, you can look for a spike in queries for vulnerable resources. Once you see that, you know there was an intentional exploit and can start to look at who drove that spike, what was leaked, etc.

The problem is that we're talking about l huge amounts of data. I'm skeptical that CF has lots of sufficient length and detail to conduct this analysis, but have no real knowledge about their forensic capabilities.
That is what generics are for. When you want some code to be applicable to any type of input it can be applied to.
I'm doing this right now with an Elixer/Phoenix backend and a VueJS frontend. I use Phoenix socket client and register events that commit mutations to a Vuex store. It feels super snappy. It's still naive though. It doesn't promise anything, so if the channel stops sending for some reason ... well that hasn't happened yet.
In your example you'd just have two different types with no subtraction operation defined between them. That has nothing to do with type hints.

What you probably meant: This is where being strongly typed helps. Python is and always has been strongly typed.

I had a similar thought, but actually prefer this way.

People who understand things well enough will know what first collision means, so can moderate their response.

Others who are less familiar with the ridiculous levels of subtlety around this sort of thing are better off being given the simple message that sha1 is now legacy in all cases. Helps to avoid mistakes.
Hah. There's also Log vs log. Capital L Log is the set of solutions to C=exp(z), so is defined up to i2pi*n where n is an integer
No argument was made. Just a statement of belief in a general belief.
I'm not the author, but I think they were alluding to the type of pride that results in negative forms of nationalism, especially when it's tied into ideas about ethnic states. Various nationalist parties (e.g. the British National Party in my country) are actually thinly veiled parties for racial supremacy, and the Nazi regime was born out of a myth of German natural supremacy. Not to say that all nationalism is like this, but there is a certain strain of national identity that cares much more about race or religion than culture or values.
It works also with empty cells in the middle.
Of the average 86 year old male, you mean. I think he wouldn't bat an eye on getting the best personal health care on the face of the planet (it's also an important long-term goal for him.) He wouldn't overpay for it, either.
I upvoted you, I guess most people downvoted you for the use of "son of a bitch", since most people like Warren Buffet.

Regarding the 90 trillion, I disagree with him. I see a country as a pearl: there's a tiny nugget, a bit of dust or some other small thing that starts the process of creating the pearl inside the shell of they oyster. Then over time more and more mother of pearl is deposited until the pearl is created.

The US mainland hasn't seen a war since 1865. Even the Civil War never touched many parts of the mainland, such as New York or Chicago.

And you've been depositing "nacre" for over 2 centuries at a rate that in the past decade has been around 10 trillion per year. I know that a lot of that wealth doesn't actually come back to the US, a lot of it is immaterial, that there's also a lot of destruction and regeneration even without war, but there's no way I'd evaluate the current wealth of the US at only 90 trillion.

It's got to be at least 10x the current GDP, if not more, in my opinion.
I think the same is true for Christianity too. The golden rule is an excellent way to be an awesome human being. I think that's a better motive than a good afterlife.

I haven't studied other religions to much but I am dead sure there are timeless pieces of advice.

My opinion, and I stress opinion, is that much of the world's religions offered a way of life that attempted to reduce violence, illness and suffering.

Even kosher and halal, thinking about it, could have been a recognition that these foods can lead to death, especially in a time when germ theory and proper cooking and hygiene methods were not developed. Since disease was associated with evil, it makes sense that "God declares these unclean".

Plus, what would you speculate if you didn't have the knowledge of how the universe, the planets and life, including us, developed? In that case, a creator provides the fewest assumptions.
The average banker has no idea how to hedge any serious amount of money, nor does the average banker understand what kind of hedging strategy is appropriate for a business. Nothing about hedging with futures or options is easy. Also, hedge funds don't charge 2/20 anymore like in the good old days.
An interesting thought, is GDP really the correct figure to be looking at though? Really what we would want is the 'national earnings' in a net sense.

0.64% MER is much higher than what you can get with Vanguard. Mutual funds are about 4x less expensive, some ETFs are 10x less expensive.
Slavery was a boat anchor on America, not a source of strength. Most of the dynamism and power that was built in the US took off not coincidentally after the wane of slavery.

And until very recently the former slave owning states were and in some ways remain sleepy backwaters dependent on the largess of the military and welfare to remain viable.

PGP email sent over TLS would be an example of nested encryption that people take for granted. So would E2E encrypted chat systems like iMessage, Signal, and WhatsApp, which encrypt each message on the machine, then use TLS to communicate with servers.
For what it's worth - he has been this transparent about mistakes since the very beginning of taking on Berkshire management in the late 1960s (when he was in his 30s) - He makes fairly prudent predictions and plans in each yearly shareholder letter, and is quite fairly critical of himself when those predictions do not pan out.

Used to have all sorts of discomforts. Got a high-quality mesh chair (make sure the sitting part is a mesh too) and I swear I never had any ever since! Easily spend 14h on it everyday.

I also almost always sit in a lotus-like position[0]. Not sure if I have before, so perhaps that's a factor too.

[0] I'm sharing that as trivia but my other fav way is to fold one leg under my backside so that you're literally sitting on your foot, while the second leg is crossed over the other. The point is I'm pretty creative with my sitting position haha.
Yes, but Buffett is not claiming that active investing (as opposed to passive index investing) is negative-sum in aggregate! That would be ludicrous, because Buffett is an active investor himself and the Buffett Annual Report is a long form sales letter to persuade people to buy more Berkshire shares.
I am going to give Buffett the benefit of the doubt in terms of what he meant. Not that it was a completely clean slate and no one was here beforehand, but that the economic productive output that existed here before (beyond bare resource value) was not assimilated and did not contribute much to present day economic output. For all intents and purposes, it was "starting from scratch". Contrast this with, say, the Roman conquest of the Greeks, which was almost a kind of cultural conquest of the losers over the winners.

This is not to minimize the genocide of the Native Americans that occurred, or the horrors of slavery. But in an economic report looking at compounded returns over the history of the US, starting from scratch is a fairly reasonable assessment.
