> when you have frequent energy exchanges, you end up with a system that is in energy equipartition

Could you support this claim with some explanation? This can be proven for the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of velocities, which is valid for gas in thermodynamic equilibrium, but probably not so valid for stars as these interact via long range forces, not through collisions like molecules do.

EDIT
Also, the stars that move too fast will escape the system so the equipartition cannot be sustained for stars whose mass is lower than some value corresponding to average quadratic speed being equal to escape speed.

The caricature of investors as "the wealthy" is not connected to reality. If you are interested in having a retirement, you have a stake in the game - even if your entire plan is to rely on social security, someone has to make the money that will be taken and given to you. If you have an interest in a high standard of living or low cost of living, efficient investment decisions are vital to you.

When you hire someone, whether to mow your lawn or run your fortune 500 company, you want their work effort to be aligned with you objectives. Ideally, every employee you hire is aligned with your interest, but that is impossible. This is a hard problem with a huge body of research behind it. If you would like to learn more, look up the "agency problem".

With regard to the ability to easily change investments - that is simply not true for the massive companies you are talking about. As an individual investor, you can shift capital around easily because your decisions have a negligible impact on the market as a whole. However, over 70% of the stock market is held by institutional investors, whose decisions significantly impact market prices.

Stock prices reflect the long term prospects of a company. Shareholders are merciless in punishing companies that optimize for the short term over the long term.
when writing code, I like the idea 'fail fast, fail hard'. i.e. my IDE helps me fail fast by showing me bad code. my program crashes and burns with a verbose stack trace when I commit some runtime heinousness

javascript doesn't do that, and the first time they walk into a coding landmine they'll be scratching their heads for hours debugging it
I grew up in an era where if I somehow forgot the option for recursive for the rm command I reflexively typed "man rm" and "/recursive" and maybe "/" a couple times. It seems younger people will context switch from the console to the web browser, pull up a google window, search for "unix.stackexchange rm recurse" and slowly scroll thru "About 43,700 results (0.97 seconds)" for perhaps hours, opening multiple tabs. Perhaps they'll very sloooooly use a touch screen phone, or even worse scream across an open office interrupting 100 people who were in flow mode, but hey it saved them five seconds with the "man" command.

The other problem is I removed my training wheels in the 80s or 90s, and my problems are almost purely subjective, like "what is the best virtualization system running on FreeBSD" Google search of stackoverflow finds no question asked. Thanks stackoverflow you're really helpful when I forget what command copies files on linux (kidding), but not for the important stuff.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14966014/whats-the-best-...

OK thanks stackoverflow for having the same question but for linux perhaps I can work off that ... wait, whats that, "asked 4 years, 2 months ago" Well I can't work with data that old, may as well not even be on line... And whats this... "As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance." Well, stackoverflow can just go F itself. It certainly doesn't answer any question I need answered.

My examples above were pretty staged, but across real topics, SO does boil down to a medium-to-slow speed way of answering relatively low level questions. Old timers work too quick, and they've already learned too much to ask the kind of question SO can answer.
There's another way for glob() implementations to mitigate these sort of patterns that Russ doesn't discuss, but can be inferred from a careful reading of the different examples in this new glob() article & the 2007 regex article.

In the regex article he notes that e.g. perl is subject to pathological behavior when you match a?^na^n against an a^n:

$ time perl -wE 'my $l = shift; my $str = "a" x $l; my $rx = "a?" x $l . $str; $str =~ /${rx}/' 28
real 0m13.278s

However changing the pattern to /${rx}b/ makes it execute almost instantly. This is because the matcher will look ahead for fixed non-pattern strings found in the pattern, and deduce that whatever globbing we're trying to match now it can't possibly matter if the string doesn't have a "b" in it.

I wonder if any globbing implementations take advantage of that class of optimization, and if there's any cases where Russ's suggested solution of not backtracking produces different results than you'd get by backtracking, in particular with some of the extended non-POSIX glob syntax out there.

You're justifying writing "The ugly and frightening truth about vigilantism is that it works" by including a link to an article written by a NRA spokesman that basically says "The ugly and frightening truth about vigilantism is that it works", without backing it up.

There's no reason for it to be as ugly and huge as an aircraft emergency exit -- it's certainly possible to make a beautiful door handle that can detect if that the regular/electronic door opening system isn't working and then activate an alternate system to open the door.

As detailed in this comment, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14188425 , the problem isn't the visibility of the handle, it's that speaker-grill Bowden cable release was, afaict, never meant as an emergency mechanism, it was simply meant for service/maintenance tasks.

No corporation with a good tax team pays anything more than 20% of taxes. This idea that 15% is going to really be THE thing that spurns business, well, it might work initially, but the reality is, it will just create more federal debt (think Bush tax cuts of 2003). Also, the current tax codes (loop holes) are too favorable for corps. With the proposed lower corp. base tax rate it will just make it easier for corporations to not pay ANYTHING. Wonderful, if it wasn't hard enough to fund schools and roads, now we'll make it even harder. How about simply closing OFF the tax loopholes, give corporations "kickers" to earn tax credits on hiring in the US and other things that could help. Giving them 15% right off the top -- that's so Trump, it's insulting.
I was referring to the best way to model associations on client/server code and how that maps to the database schema. For some reason, I find that younger devs want to invent a new way to do relationships every time they have to implement a new one.

The evidence is that US corporations are stashing ~$2 trillion dollars offshore. I'm not saying cutting taxes will fix the problem, but it is very apparent that the current tax rate is determining their behavior. Unfortunately it can become a race to the bottom for countries trying to capture the taxes on that income.
Sorry that's just not how it works for card not present (all online purchases).

Once the buyer files a chargeback indicating the purchase was fraudulent, there's no practical chance of escaping it.[1] The merchant ends up holding the bag (whatever was shipped lost, whatever was paid lost + chargeback fee), and the bank loses nothing...they, in fact, gain a chargeback fee.

[1]Maybe some tiny chance, in the sole case that the card wasn't actually stolen, and that the buyer was trying to trick everyone. That doesn't happen much, and you would still need compelling evidence. The entity that decides is the end customer's card issuer. They don't care about merchants. They care about customers.

We let them bring it back for 5% in 2004 and the result was a net loss to the taxpayer, if I remember correctly.

Well, 5% is probably too low. And I think they will bring it back for 15%. It costs money to maintain all these tax-minimization schemes globally. And America is still Apple's biggest market by far. Being able to leverage all that cash here could make a big difference to their bottom line.

Wouldn't apply to S-corps, as pass-through taxation from the company is applied at the owners' personal tax rate(s).

But, indirectly, the biggest incentive that I can see would be with regard to retained earnings and reinvestment. For an S-corp, shareholders pay tax on profits according to their ownership percentage, irrespective of whether they even receive a distribution from those profits.

And, if on Jan 1, the company invests all of its profit in a new project (essentially wiping out the profit), it doesn't matter. Prior year taxes are still due from shareholders at the full rate. This can generally lead to forced distributions to shareholders just so they can cover taxes.

So, that's painful, especially for a business that's in growth/re-investment mode. Problem is, moving to a C-corp and being doubly-taxed at a 35% corporate rate, and again at a ~30% marginal personal rate is usually even more painful.

So, yeah, a much reduced corporate rate might allow for a different calculus there that incentivizes me to organize as a C Corp vs. S Corp. Let the company take the 15% corporate tax hit and keep the 20% balance vs the old rate. Plus minimize dividends to keep the max amount of money in the company to re-invest.

The benefit of S-corps is to pass through taxation to the owner's personal tax return in order to avoid double taxation. There is no added benefit with lower corporate taxes because they are effectively 0% at the corporate level.
> This focus has a devastating impact on the lives of CEOs... Leaders deserve to be happy too... solving the problems starts with communication... we need to wage war on this picture

A whole article about how hard CEOs have it, and not a single mention of CEO pay or the ongoing efforts to even get reporting of CEO pay ratios?

I mean I agree that CEOs get a ridiculous amount of stress and an unfair share of credit and blame, but if we want to fix it, I wouldn't start with platitudes like 'why don't we talk more', I'd start by paying CEOs less.

> The result is that a startling 100% of CEOs report that they suffer from stress and, according to research by Apollo Life, one in four say they struggle with insomnia.

Yeah, 100% of the population suffers from stress too. And I just googled it: 30% of the population suffers from insomnia. LOL.

Friend solved her power issues with a Samsung S6 (not Edge) by purchasing a battery case. One of the good ones -- support-wise, at least; her case happened to go wanky, and their lifetime warranty replaced it. Don't remember the name of it: Mo... something or other?

She's on her phone all the time -- the cause of her needing more juice.

I looked for such a case for my Nexus 5x; none to be had. A consideration, the next time I buy a new phone. Wonder whether, with its attempt to be more mainstream, there are such battery cases for the Pixel (and upcoming Pixel2).
An issue I've had with my Macbook is that after charging from a non-Apple USB-C power source, the battery life on the system drops through the floor, especially when the system is in sleep state.

Before charging with a non-Apple USB-C source? Starting with a full battery, the system can sleep for at least a week without running the battery completely down.

After charging with a non-Apple USB-C source? Starting with a full battery, the system makes it for 1-2 days sleeping before the battery is totally discharged.

I can restore this to the original state with a PRAM + SMC reset, but that's a pretty big annoyance. And I've tested with a completely clean system without any 3rd party software at all in order to validate this pattern. Something is definitely screwy about charging a Macbook with a non-OEM USB-C power source.
It will lead to a generalized and obnoxious "IR35" problem, which says that "you are NOT a real company", because you just incorporated your activity as an employee to pay a much lower corporate tax instead of the higher personal income tax and other contributions that you should be paying. Paying the lower corporate tax is reserved for TRUE capitalists and not for smaller entities such as yourself, who are in fact meant to be treated as substantially higher-taxed wage slaves.
> Or for that matter for a 60-year-old artist or craftsperson to "still" pursue their craft.

I still find it rare for 50 or 60-something designers to still be actively hands-on designing purely as a designer. At a certain point, a lot of the ones I know of migrate into creative direction and ideation, delegating the hands-on work to younger designers. It actually scares me a tad because I like being hands-on and generally dislike focusing my time on managerial activities, but it's always going to be hard to just limit oneself in that role as the younger generation will always be a little bit faster and more talented.
> One would think you Trump voters would have gotten a clue by now.

How do you know GP voted for Trump? Why jump to that conclusion and why is that relevant in this case? Gary Johnson had just as a "liberal" gun control agenda as Trump perhaps...

That's the interesting thing there. I mentioned the other day about how irrationality is getting out of hand. It seems like people try too hard, go overboard and then hurt their own cause. "Everyone I don't like is a Trump supporter" is not a great way to win arguments or advance your agenda. It seems cathartic, and that's nice, but that's about it. After that is just discredits your argument.
I don't understand the line you're drawing. Isn't fake news also an unfortunate side-effect of free speech? Aren't education and public reputation existing mechanisms for regulating it?

Your argument that fake news is more dangerous makes sense, but it's not hard to argue the other way. Hate speech causes suicides, while fake news only causes temporary misinformation. Hate speech makes people withdraw from society and public life, driving them out of democratic institutions. Fake news usually just lets people hear what they want to hear, confirming beliefs they already had. The "victims" of fake news are actively seeking it out, while the victims of hate speech are being attacked.

Maybe that's not completely convincing, but hopefully you see what I mean. We already have lots of controls on free speech, are there any intrinsic reasons you think hate speech and fake news are categorically different?

Corporate taxes are on profits - it's very easy for a company, especially a startup, to not make a profit - ever - if they reinvest the earnings before the end of the tax year or the shareholders make drawings. I don't see how low corporate tax rates will spur new startups - but I do see it as incentivizing the repatriation of foreign-earned income by large multinationals.

On the contrary, I think a higher and progressive corporate tax rate would spur startups because it would serve as a governor to prevent large corporations (of the faceless variety) becoming large conglomerates - which generally have a depressive effect on the economy - thus giving smaller and more nimble startups an opportunity to compete.

> There is no other big market with such a low corporate tax.

Ireland's corporate tax rate is 12.5% ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporation_tax_in_the_Republi... ) and as Ireland is in the EU it has full access to the largest single market in the world - but I'll concede the EU's market is fragmented by localization issues and less demand for high-technology compared to North America.

Android's computer requirements are more modest, but if you're a serious Android developer you'll need to have at least one of the flagship phones from every major vendor to be sure your stuff runs properly.
