The valuation is almost completely unrelated to "Yahoo" the core business. Yahoo the publicly traded company owns ~$40 billion worth of marketable securities (Alibaba and Yahoo Japan mainly).

Imagine if you owned a convenience store that had a vault with $40 billion in gold bars inside. Your business would be worth $40 billion, despite being a convenience store.

I love the idea of Soylent, but this has happened so many times now. It's not just the mold and the lead and the manufacturing defects, but the fact that often these were the result of decisions-- like not putting a foil cap on a liquid food product-- that people with experience in the food industry would never have made. I hate to give in to stereotypes, especially of my own industry, but Soylent really gives the impression that they're a bunch of Valley brogrammers just barging into an industry to "disrupt" everything, but without knowing how to do so without killing people.

Does anyone know if there's a product that's "Soylent, but by people who know what the hell they're doing"? That's what I want to buy.

A dependent is somebody who relies on somebody else for financial support[1]. So no, if the dependents aren't actually dependents, they won't be destitute.

I must say you're conflating my conversations, and misinterpreting my words. I don't think it needs explaining, but if you disagree, I am willing to say (and repeat) exactly where and how.

Instead, here I will just point out that you're now equating talking about sin to bullying. This is harmful because it puts reconciliation with God out of sight and out of mind, but also because it tells bullies they are "no different" than those fighting sin: With blowing things out of proportion like this, you are doing an additional disservice to those sinners you're purporting to support. Note that I was generalizing because your argument allows it - at least to, say, pre-marital sex. And while there is a difference in subject sensitivity, I am not being a bully by simply countering the world when it claims either of these things are acceptable. One's cross is much greater another's, but so is the reward. No surrender, try again.

I've always been incredibly curious about all the life around me but at the age of 35 it finally started to bug me that I had no idea what, for example, the dozens of types of birds around me were called. For the past few months I've started making it a point to identify every single bird that I see around the yard, to spend a few minutes locating a photo of it and listening to its call and reading information about it on Wikipedia. Just in the past few months I've identified over two dozen birds that I grew up seeing and hearing and now I finally know what they're called.

What I'm realizing is that it takes active participation and interest in indentifying things to really learn their names and their histories, not just a passing interest.

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has a site [1] and an app that is amazing for identifying birds. My favorite feature is how it also lists birds that are similar, which makes it a lot easier to find the specific bird you're looking for. I then compare visual information with the auditory information of the birds calls to make a concrete identification.

How badly do you have to fail in this industry to not get a payday?
I've been in the bay area for a few decades. I've gone from my salary paying for my family to have a nice rental house in Cupertino to renting rooms from friends so we have a place to live. And I make double what I did back then. It's fucking awful.
Serious question: why is cost such a common argument made here against emerging tech? This argument seems to come up every time some new expensive technology is transitioning closer to consumers' hands, and the current price, which is obviously expected to go down at scale as it does for nearly all widely useful technology, is used as evidence nobody will be able to afford it. I've seen this argument made for technology that is still in the R&D phase, for goodness sake!

Obviously, the assumption of all those involved is that the price will plummet as the technology becomes more adopted, so the goal is to get to a price point where the earliest adopters will be willing to pay. For self driving cars, talking about plumbers not buying this at the current price point is a bizarre argument.
What is the point were you can start shooting?

I know that where I live, Nebraska, the rare instance when someone breaks into a home and gets shot the homeowner is in the clear.

I also don't know if the breaking into a home is the important part or if someone on your lawn waving a gun or knife around could be shot with legal blessing.

> a data set is not completely worthless if it showed a null result

As the other commenters have pointed out, the fact that it showed a null result is not really relevant to future utility.

A better way of phrasing it might be "A data set is not completely worthless after it has been used to the test the hypotheses for which it was gathered."

As to how it is useful, I think a sound summary would be "a data set is _only_ useful for validating (or invalidating) those hypotheses for which it is gathered, but it may be useful for deriving new hypotheses for which new data can be gathered to validate."

Or more negatively as "a data set is not useful for validating or invalidating hypotheses invented after the data set is seen, but it may be useful for deriving those hypotheses and leading to further research."

To some very limited extent, if a mechanism of action is established (which is to say there is an external reason to infer a correlation) then cross-validation with an existing data set may be able to derive the parameters of that correlation.
Science is a hell of a thing.
I find it laughable that people think that $1500 a year (ballpark) is 'cutting costs' when annual tuition is on the order of $50,000. That is an order of magnitude of difference. Maybe students care about it because it is the only cost they really feel, but come on, these efforts are marginal at best. I thinking open textbooks are an incredibly important initiative, but they don't make a meaningful dent in college costs.

I'm also aware of Pol Pot, but to be honest, I have to admit I don't really know a lot about his rise to power and the genocide of ethnic groups in Cambodia. I would bet money most people don't know who Pol Pot is. I don't remember covering it.

The US stance on the Native American genocide(s) is basically denial that it happened, or at minimum, failure to admit it.
> There's only four zip codes in Denmark that have a higher average income per household, and Denmark is a pretty expensive place to live.

In Denmark the following costs are cheaper or entirely nonexistent: Paying for health insurance (for every member of the family), saving for retirement, saving for sending kids to college, kids daycare, kids school fees, and also rent or cost of buying a house is cheaper than in the Bay Area.
I believe this is a stupid idea but it's come up on the Reddit thread for this article quite frequently: Can you use a GPS/2.4GHz jammer to interfere with a drone flying over your property?

The FCC is quite clear on the legality and penalties for doing so (https://transition.fcc.gov/eb/jammerenforcement/jamfaq.pdf) but what I'm not clear on is whether the FCC can practically enforce those laws. How can someone (not the FCC) determine a jammer is being employed and would the FCC actually do anything about it?

I think you're making a bit of a strawman here that people usually do with respect to utilitarianism. The utilitarian answer with 5 people on an island, where 1 is a doctor, 3 need organs, the remaining person has available organs, and the 3 are necessary to keep the group alive -- is to kill the one person and take their organs.

However, in a society where people can observe the actions of others and form motivations in response to policies, etc, you'll find that because society reacts fairly poorly to organ harvesting, because organ harvesting is implausible to do at scale without extra bad things happenning, etc, the utilitarian solution is actually not to go about doing it.

Only a naive utilitarian wouldn't try to also remain consistent with something like a Kantian imperative of global self-coherence.

Now, as for cars and testing self-driving on real folks, well, this may be something where the water is pretty murky. I think that society will react poorly enough to early bad events in self-driving that a measured approach is actually the best for saving lives in the long term.

The critique here shouldn't be that "well, utilitarianism sure looks good from afar, but would you murder your neighbor?" It should be "The problem is too difficult to address with utilitarianism because it involves complex societal factors and responses."

She took the stock price from the mid teens to close to $50 today.

I know we all expect a "Great" CEO to lead the company to world domination, but Yahoo was a sinking ship before she got there, and she was was able to turn that around enough to create an acquisition. By every measure that her employers where using to judge her performance, she was a tremendous success.

Modern day feudalism except the shareholders collectively represents the master controlling the workers through the CEO.

It makes sense why a massive payout would be valuable in contrast to the billions of dollars in unlimited upside rewards a share price uplift would bring.

Marissa Mayer spends $1.1 billion and makes ~0.2 billion. It almost seems like her bonus is tied to how much she spent on acquisitions.
I'm shocked at how bad Yahoo is. I've mostly ignored them for years, but yesterday I had a reason to log in - a small manufacturer uses a yahoo group for support. I've had an account for a decade or so, but didn't know the password. The backup email account looked oddly like my real email with a "2" appended on the end of the user name.

Thinking there is no way this would work, I signed up for a new account with that email address and used it to recover the password for my old account! I must have made up an address when they pestered me about a backup email.

Here is what shocked me:
1) Forgot your password page hung several times. It sat there for minutes and I had refresh and go at it again.
2) New account - verify phone with a code. The page to submit the code would spin and time out after a few minutes. After a few failed attempts they wouldn't let me try anymore - but they still let me log in. Did I really verify my phone or skip it? I don't know or care.
3) I found the group I needed to use. I couldn't find a button to post or join the group. I googled. I had to log in on my phone to get a Join button - there isn't on on a PC.

Yahoo is falling apart. I knew nobody cared about yahoo, but I didn't know until yesterday that the people at yahoo don't care about yahoo.

That's not a particularly fair presentation of the events of 1958.

There was indeed a coup but De Gaulle became prime minister and was given emergency power for six months by the national assembly all according to the Constitution of the fourth republic.

The coup of 1958 didn't happen in metropolitan France. It was lead by generals in Algeria. It certainly helped the decision of calling De Gaulle back to power but "through a coup" is stretching it.

The new constitution was then enacted by a referendum, new election called and De Gaulle was elected again.

By the way, it's hardly not taught. That's part of the official curriculum for the class of première (at least for L and ES).

As a side note, Mitterrand used to call the fifth republic constitution "the permanent coup". That didn't stop him from using the large power it gives to the executive when he became president.

She's the CEO. You can explain it away but she is as subject to good fortune as much as she is bad.

EDIT: Haters out in force I see. The share price was $16 when she started. It's now $48. It's irrelevant what she did or didn't do to get that. That's the fact, and that's what matters to her employers, the shareholders.

Why shouldn't she be compensated for a 200% increase? The company's long term survival is a goal that may have never been shared by the actual owners.
