I mean downwards towards the floor of the plane of course, not the center of the earth. mikeash has already explained much better than I could why you can't keep 1G from the point of view of the passenger and do a normal barrel roll from/to level flight. It seems easy to have a path that does it if you allow it to finish in descending flight.

That the stock market is an efficient mechanism in allocating capital to the right businesses is a myth.

For one, the stock price of a company has no direct bearing on its capital. Only at IPO time or when a company is raising additional capital is the stock price relevant for the capital. E.g. Google's stock price has increased 15x since their IPO, but that has had no effect on their capital. Any other time besides the IPO and when raising additional capital, it is just money changing hands between stockholders, the company doesn't see any of that. Of course, the initial investors often only invest in the capital with the understanding that they will be able to easily sell their shares later. And there are some secondary concerns: employees might have stock or stock options, stockholders can influence the board and hence management, and too low a stock price might engender a hostile take-over.

Secondly, the market is frequently very wrong about pricing stocks. It was happily 'allocating capital' to internet stocks during the dot-com bubble, to financial stocks up to 2008,... A metaphor created by Benjamin Graham, and often repeated by Warren Buffett, is that of Mr. Market [1]: a manic-depressive fellow who has periods when he pays way too much for stocks at certain points and sells stocks at way too low prices at others.

That said, it mostly works. To a company it doesn't really matter all that much that the stock market undervalues your stock by 20-30% or more at some times (a good opportunity for share buybacks!), and overvalues it at other times (a good time to raise additional capital, or use your stock for takeover bids of undervalued companies). Of course, companies often do exactly the opposite: share buybacks when their stock is overvalued and takeovers overvalued companies when their own stock is undervalued...

Etleap Is Hiring Java Engineers to Build Next-Gen ETL
Come build the infrastructure that modern data teams depend on to create and operate their data warehouse! It shouldn't take a CS degree to use big data effectively, and abstracting away the difficult parts is our mission.

You will:

- Be part of the team that is building the next generation of ETL software.

- Work on challenging technical problems, and also have frequent and direct interaction with customers - we put our customers first.

- Come up with novel ideas on how to make complex technology user-friendly, and then turn those ideas into robust software.

About you:

- You love data engineering.

- You build robust and scalable data systems three times as fast as other developers.

- Coding in Java is second nature to you.

- You have a passion for improving data analytics.

- You’re living in or willing to move to San Francisco.

Even better if you also:

- Have experience with Cascading, Docker, and AWS.

- Know the ins and outs of current big data frameworks like Hadoop, Spark, or Flink, but this is not an absolute requirement - you're a quick learner!

- Have startup experience.

About us: We founded Etleap after getting frustrated with the difficulty of building robust ETL infrastructure for analytics. Our small team loves data but think current ETL tools suck. The position is onsite in SOMA, San Francisco.

I think this is what D does as well. This means you have to be mindful of what you're doing and if you want few pauses then you need to perform all your allocations ahead of time or disable it entirely in certain sections.

In it, there are several copies of Italian masterpieces.

I've often wondered why museums and universities don't do this more often. Make up a list of the 50-100 most important works of art in the western canon, make really great copies of all of them and distribute them to museums around the world so that more people can actually experience these works for themselves. The only option today is to either look at tiny photos of the works (which is a terrible way to study and appreciate art) or to spend a massive amount of time and money traveling the world (which is totally unrealistic for most people).
Many thanks jorgeleo ! I wasn't clear on how FP handles complexity management and the unknown. You've beautifully connected the dots and helped me shift my thinking, this is all clear now.

In particular your demonstration was very convincing from a DDD perspective. I can see that FP is not less natural than OOP for domain modelling while it approaches things from a very different angle. However FP brings to the table rich domain semantics, high correctness guarantees, and I feel productivity gains too. And with the mindset you've presented, it is also clear that the unknown seems to be accounted for in FP too. As an architect, this last point was the grey area and the deal breaker for me. However now I see no reason not to invest in heavily leveraging FP moving forward. Thanks again jorgeleo.

Well I've known Vanguard for about 30 years and am a fan as it's saved the investing public many billions over that time, certainly if you compare them to normal fund management companies even if just buying and holding shares directly is probably cheaper still.

But I was just pointing out they offer a rather dull, value for money service and are not going to collapse Enron style. They could decline Sears style however.

I know cold starts are an issue when services have a lull in usage, and that you can work around it. But I'm curious whether cold starts also happen when there's a surge in demand and AWS needs to spin up more containers or whatever it uses to host Lambdas.

The title of the press release is misleading, there was no non-trivial machine learning/AI involved. "Computers Create Recipe for" translates to: the researchers picked a class of materials, ran DFT simulations (the usual way to simulate this sort of thing) for all combinations of elements in that class and fabricated the ones that were predicted to have interesting properties.

The regression mentioned in the press release was only used to predict one property (the Curie temperature) of the materials based on experimental data for similar materials.

It's still a really impressive piece of work, just nothing to do with AI.

You also have the situation that index funds must buy or must sell a stock if it enters or leaves an index. This creates an opportunity for active traders.
Might have as well been filmed in front of a projection of that plane landing - it looks that way in the beginning anyway.
Not necessarily. You might just be extra patient, or not use many plugins, or only use well behaved ones that down slow down startup that much. I remember years ago when I used Vim I had pretty slow start up time for a while but narrowed the problem down to one plugin I decided I could live without (can't remember which one it was, though).
Index funds buy or sell blindly, at whatever the prevailing best price is. Naturally, if there were only index funds in the market, the price would vary randomly.

That being said, consider what would happen if stock prices did start to vary randomly - if you had actual research suggesting the price was too high or too low, you could trade accordingly. This would net you a profit, and also help push the price in the opposite direction, towards whatever a reasonable price is.

The larger the deviation from the "correct" price, the larger the potential profits are to be had. So if the problem ever starts to be significant (i.e. a few cents of deviation caused by index funds), this means a very large potential profit for any active funds or traders out there. And so we would expect the system to reach an equilibrium - where there are just enough active funds and traders to snatch up the profits that arise from tiny price errors and distortions caused by index funds. In effect, the index funds are paying those remaining active funds and traders a tiny "management fee" (in the form of exploitable trading behavior) to figure out the appropriate price of stocks for them!
You're missing the point. HTML wasn't XML because XML didn't exist then. SGML did. XML is a "an SGML dialect that's not actual SGML," not the other way around. The people who designed XML knew the SGML spec, as they wrote XML as a subset of it, and they knew what was in HTML. They could have written XML so that HTML conformed. They chose not to. But the HTML spec at the time was absolutely conformant SGML.

This may sound snarky, but it's not meant to be. When I've worked in large corporations I was astounded by the amount of... shall we say "irregular" stock activity. For a while I've been struck with the thought that you could probably make a pretty good living simply buying long stock the day before executive stock options are issued and then selling them again when executives are selling theirs (either through planned trades or when blackouts are lifted).

Interestingly (for me, anyway) the very large places I've worked at often let the peons listen to the analysts meetings over the phone system. Again, I was shocked by the complete lack of knowledge that analysts at big investment houses have in the companies they were analysing. They would be completely unaware of large acquisitions, law suits and any number of things that even the casual observer would know about. I really got the impression that their job was literally to attend the meeting and report the company's projections. The company's could get away with murder because nobody was paying attention to what they were doing.

Not sure if things have tightened up since that time in my life. I haven't worked for a big company since the early 2000's, but somehow I get the impression that there are probably plenty of ways to ride on the coattails of less than scrupulous executive compensation.

This is the Google approach to scaling to thousands of developers: build rock-solid infrastructure so none of the code can go too badly, and you can worry a lot less about the quality of most of the code.

Sorry but it's big business writing the rules. It's not American programmers that have seats in congress. So let me just correct you:

"H1B will not be killed. It will be changed. The loophole will be fixed so that Indian outsourcing body shops will be able to completely flood the market without any restrictions at all. Currently, not all of the H1B visas are hoarded by Indian outsourcing companies such as Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, Wipro etc, for the purposes of depressing wages in the US.

The real threats to low wages, such as US-educated PhD graduates must never be allowed a visa, unless they sign in blood a contract to work for bread, water and a single bed for at least a decade, after which they'll be required to leave the US. Companies will be allowed to provide bonuses such as a weekly slice of cheese or a bed sheet for software developers, or those who put in more than the customary 252 hours of work per week. The new system hopefully will keep wage depressing suckers and prevent those "educated" upstarts from claiming more of congress' profits".
The 100 Best Books About Middle East History
I came to the US on an H1-B. I work in embedded security (think silicon, PCB level attacks, bootloaders, kernels) which is a field that has, by my best guess, less than a 1000 individuals in it. For whatever reason they are largely European and while there are some that hold PhDs (mostly on the silicon side, some of the attacks there require lots of math) most while barely have finished a bachelors degree (Yours truly included). The US desperately needs these people to secure all the devices you use on a day-to-day basis. They likely do not qualify for O-1's, as their research isn't done in the context of academia and largely done under assumed names for fear of prosecution.

Do we simply not bring these talented people to the US?
The President isn't everything. There's Congress, with members voted in by their district.
Why doesn't Germany have the same problem with their 'blue card' which is even more generous than the H1B visa?

For an IT graduate, a German blue card only requires a minimum salary of €39,624. Workers can switch jobs easily and there is no lottery - if you have a degree and a job you are pretty much guaranteed a blue card.

There is a language barrier, but my guess is that's not a big problem. There should be plenty of Indian graduates willing to learn German for a year if it leads to a 500% increase in salary.
