I think that's kind of an abuse of the term "invest". If you read their prospectus it's clear that they are looking for foreign currency arbitrage opportunities:

Re: MacOS High Sierra Root Vulnerability
I came across someone a post with a link to a forum where this was presented as a solution if you lose access to admin accounts on your Mac.

I actually think it might be the former. There's a famous study where parents put on a completely flat face for a few minutes and denied their infants any attention. The babies reacted extremely poorly. I wish I could remember the name of the effect & the study so I could link it but the name totally escapes me

Anyway, point being, they did the same study but with parents using smartphones, and babies reacted in exactly the same fashion (distress)

I sort of think that's an abuse of the term "invest". Sure you're investing in some kind of instrument that is highly affected by the value of the USD, but you're not really investing in USD. You're not long USD by holding that investment. By that metric people who short Bitcoin or Bitcoin exchanges are also "investing" in bitcoin.

Notes: Understanding Pure JavaScript Arrays
It's not cherry picked, and the S&P prices have been adjusted for dividends. I'm pretty sure that if you pick two other intervals, both assets will perform equally well.

Edit: yes, there is some selection bias in my intervals:

1970s: gold beats SP500 by a mile

1980s: gold stagnates, SP500 soars

1990s: same as 80s

2000s: see 1970s

2010s: so far, SP500 is ahead.

Conclusion: you need a VERY long investment horizon to compare these two assets.

The thing is, one can only be on one side. Then the other side has nothing valuable to say to you, all their advice is misplaced.

If you check anyone else that was livetweeting, it's clear that csaid mistyped the second tweet. Alsup addressed those comments at Uber's lawyers.
I guess I am, but it's more than a belief that 'active programmer ==> familiarity with responsible disclosure'.

First, he is an active developer - his resume cites big shops such as ebay and Sony (many years). It's possible that most of his bug reports at those places come through tweets, but it's more likely he's had some exposure to formal disclosure processes.

Second, he follows some thousand people on twitter, has been active in IT for nearly two decades, is a founder of a couple of tech / dev groups. As I say, it's possible he's unaware that there are mechanisms to advise vendors of major security holes beyond tweeting to the world.

Third, I wonder what he was thinking when he did post that on twitter. As in, even being unaware of generic, or Apple-specific, responsible disclosure mechanisms, what does one imagine will happen when you discover a massive hole in a popular platform and decide to just tell the world. I'm disturbed that someone with this level of IT experience and credentials didn't consider consequences here.

Fourth, a corollary to that last one, if you do spend a brief moment contemplating the consequences, it should be a fairly short process to then wonder if there's a better mechanism, and that mechanism is pretty easy to discover.

It's because we think in 3D, so we only really see three steps of exponential growth.

If we thought in 100D, we might have a better sense for it, because we'd be able to see a hundred of them.

Hypervolume grows exponentially.

One way to get a really rough idea is to try and control each and every joint individually.

Close your eyes and try to imagine that each joint, each muscle is a dimension along which you can move (by moving it), and your posture at any given moment is a point in that space. When you move, you make a line through it. Don't picture it, just feel it.

What is the shape of that space?

You can get an idea of what exponential growth is like by exploring how the shape of that space changes as you add more and more things you're controlling.

I'm a programmer. My mother is a programmer.

Out of the factors listed in the article that influenced my occupation, this one is one of the important ones:

“[The parent] had a studio next to our house, so it was something that we always grew up with,” she said. “[The parent's] philosophy was just make it part of everyday life and make materials readily available.”

I've had an access to a computer with a programming environment when I was growing up, which was not a common thing in the early 90's Ukraine. Of course, I only used it to play games when I was a kid, but even that was an advantage: liking to use computers and software makes you want to write your own at some point. That machine was under-specced to run many games, so one had to be a bit creative (from fiddling with CONFIG.SYS back in DOS days to running UT with 2MB of video memory, it was fun at times).

And when I did want to play with programming, moving on from scripting in Excel, I already had the tools to play with and a mental image of what programming looks like in general.

On a different note, I love cooking and try to avoid eating out unless it's for a reason (socializing, experiencing food I haven't had before, etc). And that is something I got from my father, who cooks a lot - even though I never cooked while I was living with my parents. But that's the part of the culture that I inherited from him anyway.

Would I be programming if my mother weren't a programmer? Quite likely, as many of my peers did (I went to grad school for mathematics and haven't abandoned the academic world completely). But perhaps I wouldn't have it as a hobby.

On the other hand, my parents didn't travel when I was a kid, so I didn't have a knack for traveling until I grew up. It wasn't that I disliked it, it just wasn't on my radar of interests.

The take-away for me is the following: it's important for kids to see other people - in particular, their parents - do things, and have an option to play and participate. Even if they don't, the effect stays for a long time. If you are a parent - do things. Travel. Learn a different language. Paint. Make music. And if your work is fun, bring it home and bring your kids to work. As the article indicates, all of that expands their palette of things to try, and makes entry into some activity easier.

The kids that didn't follow in their parents' footsteps probably got something - culture, work ethic, philosophy - if not skills or education - that affected their occupation.

I didn't inherit a business or any connections from my parents. But I still have that Hayes Optima 33.6 voice modem that I used to uppload an app I wrote to Freeware.ru back when programs weren't called apps yet.
This is true not just from a kid's perspective too :)
I don't think I'd ever do an embargo in a cold pitch. My experience is that cooperation is best assured with an incentive structure, and you don't really have the power in a cold email to assure any kind of incentive structure. Unless there's a compelling follow-up story or they fear the wrath of somebody you are associated with, the reporter has zero reason to care what you think or ask for. Being too aggressive in demanding an embargo can come across as an idle threat, which is somewhere between a turn-off and dangerous.

My solution to this is to pitch stories that don't require embargos. "We exist, and we are great" is generally not a tactic I have had much success with anyway. Your affiliations and successes serve as credibility the week of your funding/launch just as well as they do on the day of your funding/launch. The only thing you're gambling on is the time-sensitivity.

I solve this by focusing on the angle. If you tie yourself into an existing popular media narrative/topic/event with a short lifespan, they have to cover you promptly. You also increase your chances of being covered because now you're offering an educated hot take on something everybody is already scrambling to cover. This also boosts social engagement, if you're going for that.

I have a 50" Sharp (well, made by Hisense) TV I got for C$469.

but that wouldn't matter because they'd last for 100k cycles.

That's precisely the sort of thing that most manufacturers don't want, because a battery designed to last effectively forever means less recurring revenue on replacements.

"100% recyclable" is good for them (and "biodegradable" even better), because they can act "green" while continuously making products that don't last and have to be recycled, expending even more energy and creating profit in the process.

That, and I'm kind of disappointed everyone has drunk the RISC kool-aid.

Agree completely. One only has to look at the prominence (or lack thereof) of MIPS, the other "pure RISC" architecture, to see that it's not known for being anything other than cheap. Plenty of low-end Chinese routers, phones, tablets, and various Android-running devices use MIPS; and their performance (or once again, lack thereof) is notable. ARMs are, internally, much closer to x86 than MIPS or RISC-V.

That said, there's always a place for cheaper and simpler 32-bit cores in applications like HDD controllers, where high performance and efficiency is not a primary goal.

If you had a language/compiler that took better advantage of a stack architecture, or even a CISC architecture, the performance would probably be just as good if not better.

Stack architectures are pretty easy to generate code for and have a (slight) advantage with code density, but their memory access patterns are hard to optimise for, and they are even harder to make superscalar.

On the other hand, I think a "CISC-V" could become an interesting and possibly quite competitive alternative to x86.
