This. It’s not uncommon to price the common shares differently in tender offers. Facebook did almost the same thing in 2009: DST bought preferred share at $10B valuation and then tender offer at 6.5B [1]

If the valuation didn't change, and the common stock is fairly priced, then we should stop calling the valuation $70B. Under that model, Uber was never worth $70B.
I don't think so. Leverage has a precise concrete meaning in this article. We shouldn't avoid a descriptive accurate term just because it's for an abstract higher-order concept.

Oh look another flag that has several caveats and corner cases and works only half the times you think it works, while increasing compiler complexity

Here's a better idea, if you really need a compile time value in your program you calculate it yourself (or just run it at program startup and cache the value).

Yes, that's the meaning of Michelin stars:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelin_Guide#Stars

1 Michelin star: "A very good restaurant in its category"
2 Michelin stars: "Excellent cooking, worth a detour"
3 Michelin stars: "Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey"

But OP is abour one-star restaurant, which means it is only recommended for people who are already in the neighborhood or passing by.

I think this is a great article, but the example with Lisa doesn't work via text. You lose all the inflection, and style of how she voiced her fears. It's hard to interpret how unprofessionally she expressed these concerns, and it only slightly delves into how these fears were expressed personally, instead of professionally.

In my opinion this detracts from the point - "Be a professional, especially at/around work", but that point is definitely worth taking to heart.
What are you thinking of as a cheap Michelin starred restaurant in France? It's important to be specific to the country; standards are different in different places. The French Michelin stars are still very hidebound by things like quality of flowers and number of extra service on the floor.
> typical undertone on HN of "regulation is bad by definition"

This is pure ancap, "Austrian school" ideology. They define regulation as bad by definition, because supposedly it goes against "freedom". This works as a clutch so that if you say anything bad against capitalism they will retort "it is regulation", even thought nobody ever saw (and never will see) an economic system without laws and regulations.
You would have to actively rebalance to keep equal weighting, so it is not as passive as typical market cap weighting.

I am getting the sense that you're saying that New York City is primarily a city of smart people who value cosmopolitanism and not of people who value high social trust and strong social identity. That might be the stereotype of certain parts of Manhattan (especially of people who - and I admit I'm one of them - have voluntarily moved to the city for work), but that's not the majority of New York City at all. Come and visit Harlem or Crown Heights or Flushing. Come and walk through the parts of Brooklyn with storefront signage in Hebrew and not English. Come and take a taxi and talk to the driver about social trust or social identity. Come and talk to people who have had family living here for generations.

The evidence, as far as I can tell, is that multiculturalism is a perfectly stable approach, and people who say that we need cultural isolation are only saying that because of belief and not evidence. Of course the continent is big enough to support giving people what they want, whether or not they're rational to want it. But to the original topic of how to prevent the strong from taking advantage of the weak, I don't think there's any reason to believe that dividing people by race to force an alliance of each race's strong and weak is going to be successful, or that avoiding multiculturalism is going to be necessary.

My family always "smuggled in" popcorn and snacks. Especially the candy. We'd have bought it at the theatre for a small markup, but the prices were just insane.

Or just thank the newspaper for the former free stuff and stop loading the web this time as they politely ask you; as a sign of respect towards the journalist.
That'd be missing much of the benefit, though. If you don't restructure the business as a co-op, then the consumer or worker is not likely to see the same benefits. The structure of the co-op gives its small-time shareholders a similar level of acknowledgement/voice that big-time shareholders would have in a conventional business (and similar to what a union does for workers, except without the large amount of friction and unnecessary antipathy between management and the workers). Simply tokenizing ownership would not have this benefit.
I suspect we will reach an equilibrium where most people are indexing and a few very good active managers are in play, while most of the less competent managers have been booted out. There might be a few swings towards either side on the way to that steady state.
Didi isn’t in South, Central, or North America yet, so talking about how successful they are doing there isn’t very meaningful.

> it surely must lose it's efficacy because it is no longer efficient, will indexing then not underperform

Well, it's just a question of competitive advantages. In a world where so many people are trying to outperform the market, it's really hard to outperform the market and index funds essentially piggy-back to the aggregated wisdom of the best investors. In a world when the majority of investment and trading (the price is set by the marginal investor, not by the average investor) is index funds, outperforming the market will be easier. In reality, you get a sensible balance.
You still have to rebalance market cap weighted funds, just much less so. Market cap weighted is indeed more efficient, but that's only assuming most stocks don't do things like pay dividends.

Apple does not want consumers to have a choice, or at least only the barely tolerable amount of choice. The more they control and have as uniform as possible the more profit they make.
This will sound sarcastic, but it’s not.

Stop visiting HN more than once a day. Repeat this for every “news”/“feed” site and app that you use. It sounds completely nuts, but it forces you to stop slicing up “read the news” (a focused activity) into “read the news distractedly” (a timesliced activity).

Shut off push notifications for anything that is not money/shipping related or a direct IM with individuals. Email notifications off, news and feed notifications off, social site notifications off, Twitter “favorited” notifications off.

Turn off notification sounds for everything that’s left except direct messages from human beings or e.g. Pagerduty.

Aside from direct IMs — I got a total of 10 pushes yesterday. None made a sound. None required a response. None required interrupting my focus.

Do this for a month, on desktops, laptops, mobile. Your focus will improve dramatically, simply for having not wasted all your brain’s dopamine on “new email alert sounds”.

EDIT: Meditation is far more challenging when your brain is constantly looking out for the next “new notification” ding. It took me nearly a month to overcome the Pavlov ding response when I first implemented this approach in 2005. You’re going to hear a lot of phantom dings for a long time.

EDIT2: If you haven’t already done this muting approach, set your push notification sound to the red alert klaxon from BSG (three repetitions) – or any red alert sound from any sci-fi show. If ever there was a way to amplify the visceral effects of notification sounds to your conscious thought level for evaluation and consideration, that’ll do it.

EDIT3: If you’re autism spectrum, you may have “executive dysfunction”, which is a willpower disorder of sorts. Focus is willpower-related. There’s no magic fix, but awareness is half the battle, and it may offer steps you can take to reduce your life’s “willpower” drain so that you can have more of it for “focus” instead of whatever.
I don't think shorting would be a very good strategy for passive, long term investors due to the associated costs (margin, dividend payments) and the unlimited risk.
What you want is an equal risk weighted SPY ETF - where each component is weighted such that the contribution to total volatility is equalized. This can be done using some off the shelf risk models from firms like MSCI. There was such an ETF (ERW), but it never really took off, and it no longer trades. Unfortunately these methods will just remain available to only more sophisticated market participants.
> I know I certainly wasn't very well-equipped to handle tension or to have hard conversations about fair distribution of work.

I guess my point is more that primary school really should've prepared you for this: Group dynamics and how to handle these "group tensions" is more of a basic learning skill that we should be developing very early on.

I'm not arguing that this is a useless skill to teach, more that it's far more expensive and much less effective for MIT to be teaching you these skills and not MyTown elementary/middle/high school.
In the OP, $130 is for a full Prix Fixe meal on New YEars Eve.

> $130 meal is a once in a lifetime type celebration (e.g. 50th wedding anniversary,

Most "traditional" weddings (like you see in TV shows) cost $130 per guest for meal and alcohol. Many people attend many of these in a lifetime.

> making partner in a company you've worked for for a decade

People in that situation would tend to do a $130 email to celebrate their annual bonus, not just the one time they get up to the $500k+/yr income band.

It must be an awful workplace if it's led by people who run for the hills at a conversation over doubts. Vulnerability is not a terminal illness. A lot of people never learn how to deal with it, so their rejection of others for it is largely a reflection of their own insecurities.
No, humans are pretty terrible at approximating e.g. TSP or max-cut.

IIRC to even buy that you have to have a home theater. They come to your house and inspect to make sure it meets their standards. So yeah, it's not just the price, it's essentially a status product; meant only for the super-rich to show off that they have a home theater.
100% agree with this. I can't figure out what they even think the yearly releases schedule is buying for them (particularly on the macOS side) when it's obvious it's costing them on the QC front.

The best strategy seems to be to treat the current release as a beta, and hang back at least one release. If you upgrade to 10.(n-1) just before 10.n is released, you're on a release that's had about two years to mature. Though I skipped Yosemite entirely.

There's still a lot of opportunity for new types of passive index funds, using methods like you suggest. Maybe someone will start an up.
"Leverage" has real meaning. Another word for it that you might be more familiar with from software is "reuse".

Reuse is leverage. If a piece of software (function, class, module, service, tool, whatever) is used for 1 task, it's not leveraged. If it's used for 10 tasks, that means the creation of the reused thing had 10x leverage: working on that reused thing created 10 times more value than working on something that's only used once.

It's not quite that straightforward as everyone knows, there are costs to reuse (abstractions (both lowest common denominator and leakage), more dependencies, higher maintenance costs owing to risk of breakage of multiple clients, etc.). But the leverage is very often real.
We are a mac-first company. About 350+ machines. We experienced all of these issues while testing High Sierra. Multiple machines, some upgrades, some clean builds. They seemed to be isolated to touchbar models, because we had no such issues on any of our older models, nor the Macbook Esc.

Thankfully, 10.13.2 has fixed all of these issues for me. Before I would get a lock up almost about half the time I tried to awake from sleep. Now I have gone 2 weeks without a reboot.

New macOS releases have been plagued with sleep/wake issues for years, but this one was worse than normal.

I'm curious that gifting seems to be considered a main method of avoidance.

At face value from keeping it from the government, yes. However, it also distributes the money out of a single controller. This is actually huge, as it more quickly loves the money out of any sort of dynastic entity. Even removes some incentive from families for having to operate as a single unit.

> Crabs are self conscious too because they act with a purpose of self preservation, which requires knowledge of what is them and what is not them.

It's a bit more complicated. Self consciousness is the ability to contemplate mental states, some philosophers say. Crabs do not contemplate their own mental states, they simply act and feel.
There isn't unlimited risk because the exposure to tech is hedged out by the opposing long/short positions (as are the dividend payments). Agreed that this isn't practical for the average investor though.

Er, not really. From the article:

"Impact Produced" has a precise, concrete meaning?

No, that's not how that works. The preferred share and common share prices converge towards a liquidity event, like an IPO, when preferred shares are converted to common shares.

It's expected that common shares are worth less than preferred shares. After all, the preferred shares could be paid out at value in, e.g. in the event that the company is sold for far less than the current valuation, and the common shares would be worthless.
You have heard correctly. MoviePass requires you to be physically present at the theater before "checking in" to the movie for which you intend to purchase a ticket. Only then can you use the MoviePass Mastercard to buy your ticket.

So you can pre-book and reserve seats, but only in person. If you live very close to a theater, you could pre-book at lunchtime and come back that evening to watch the movie, for example.

It definitely requires you to be physically present, though. There is no online ticket-buying with MoviePass.

I like his approach since it has a more modern appeal and his writing is very approachable for those new to meditation (at least to me).

Ask HN: Who wants to start a startup?
I'm wondering how many people on HN want to start a startup, but don't know where to start? Maybe you don't know what idea to start it around, or you have an idea but aren't sure if it's any good and don't know how to validate it.

Maybe you feel like you need a cofounder to have a better chance at success but don't know anyone who is interested.

This all describes me. I'm wondering who else out there this describes?

From those who have had these same feelings and started successful startups, how did you get around these problems?

There are a few paid compilers but they are mainly targeted at niches. One example at the top of my mind is Xojo [1], which is basically a cross platform visual basic clone (although not as good, IMO, but that is mainly because it doesn't seem to understand the strengths of VB [2]) and i see it being mentioned more often lately than at the past (it used to be known as REALbasic but they changed the name because the "basic" part wasn't very marketable anymore).

Also Common Lisp and Smalltalk have several high quality commercial compilers. Generally you'll find that most commercial compilers tend to go after niche markets with less popular languages that still have some sort of demand and don't mind paying for software.
