Congratulations to the buddybuild team. I've used buddybuild since 2015 and it has streamlined a lot of problems with building, signing, and distributing dozens of iOS apps I've worked on over that time.

It will be interesting to see how (and when) Apple integrates this into Xcode, iTunes Connect, TestFlight, and the rest of their development portal. I don't really see Apple running a hosted continuous integration system, but maybe they plan on investing more effort in Xcode Server[1] to sell some new Mac Pros, whenever they're ready.

Akira Nishitani / Katsuhiro Harada Interview
I'm curious if the lab-grown meat will truly be ethical, which I suppose depends on your definition of ethics with regard to preserving life.

What exactly are the processes by which animal meat is grown and what kind of resources are required? I assume whatever sauce they're grown in is both a trade secret and also not just sugar water with some protein powder mixed in...

If the process of growing meat in a vat requires vast amounts of amino acids that need to be either extracted from another natural source (or else needs to be synthesized in a precursor process) then how much is known about the negative impact of that resource extraction and/or synthesis?

Will a pound of lab-grown meat use less water than a pound of comparable nature-grown meat? And if not, is it more ethical to prevent the killing of farm animals or prevent the continued waste of our most precious natural resource?

I'm well aware of the negative impact of factory farming, but you already have options for spending more on meat for non-factory farmed meats (at least we do in the NW of USA) and I somehow doubt the economics will scale to where McD is gonna be able to sell $2 double-cheeseburgers using lab grown meat. Is this really going to move the needle, or just make some rich people to feel better about themselves?

I know vegans who have no qualms eating tofu despite the damage that the soy industry has done to entire species[0]... is reducing the suffering of farm animals actually more ethical than preserving the overall biodiversity of our planet?

So how do the lab-grown meats actually measure up in that context? That's really my main question here.

I, obviously, have my doubts that it measures well and have been advocating for an increase in entomophagy (eating crickets, mealworms, soldier fly larvae, etc) which provide comparable protein/nutrient profiles to farm meats while requiring a fraction of the inputs (notably water and land) and a massive decrease in the sentient suffering of the protein source (most are just put into hibernation and don't wake up). I haven't made one yet, but I think a 50/50 ethical-beef/mealworm burger will probably be great with the right seasoning and would be cheaper to make (at scale), more ethical and still provide comparable nutrition.

> It's indeed a flawed comparison but marketcap is still the best we have now.

I disagree. Many exchanges have public order books, so you can see exactly how much the price would slip if you sold, e.g., $1m worth of a coin. This is what is relevant for something functioning like money, not the last traded price multiplied by number of coins in existence.
I used to hold this opinion, but this Stack Exchange post https://dba.stackexchange.com/a/165923/34006 changed my mind. In short, HTML5 defines its own specification of an email address here [2], and notes:

> This requirement is a willful violation of RFC 5322, which defines a syntax for e-mail addresses that is simultaneously too strict (before the "@" character), too vague (after the "@" character), and too lax (allowing comments, whitespace characters, and quoted strings in manners unfamiliar to most users) to be of practical use here.

> The following JavaScript- and Perl-compatible regular expression is an implementation of the above definition.

> /^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?)$/

To quote the DBA Stack Exchange post, "if it's good enough for HTML5, it's probably good enough for you". And if you're using inputs with `type="email"` in HTML5, you already are constraining your emails to that format.

(That said, it sounds like the regular expression you were asked to use was not a good one)

The CEO is allowed to do as he does, but actions have consequences.

He knows what it means to cut down to bare minimum, and this could be considered a signal that he feels he could get more than the forecasted % elsewhere, and that he doesn't feel holding on to the stock is worth the negative backlash that is sure to happen with such a move.
It's worth pointing out, the reason why data breach notification laws exist is because one time the relative of a California state congressman had their identity stolen because of a data breach.
Sure, there are exceptions. The other side goes the same way: If it's not a static resource, don't make it a global...

> arrays, hash tables, file descriptors

Most arrays / hashtables in my own use are actually static resources as well...

File descriptors, same thing. They are (or correspond to) a process-wide resource managed by the OS. Most maintainable way is to manage them in a global pool.
Thank you for the idea! I'll look into try it. No promises though.

There's also two other groups here: employees are very likely to value long-term value creation, since it would provide job security, an incentive to invest in employees, and a better chance of bonuses and raises. Second, communities where these companies are located: handing out tax incentives and cheap loans make more sense if the company isn't going to leave the community high and dry in a couple years. The advantages of long-term value creation aren't just fear-oriented: it's possible such a company will be able to hire people and rent office space more cheaply because it has that label.

If that ends up being the case, boards could easily start looking for CEOs willing to make the commitment to qualifying as a long-term company.
"and superior to web-hybrid options like Electron"

Superior exactly in what way? Electron allows access to an enormous audience of developers and the web ecosystem. You really can't compete with that and would be silly to try at this point.
In prior cruises in the Atlantic, the firm has, according to Josh Broussard, its technical director, managed to scan 890 square kilometres a day using six autonomous submarines. With eight, Mr Broussard thinks that the new mission will be able to manage 1,200 a day—enough to have covered the original search area in just 100 days.

Seems up to the job, and while 8 may not be a swarm of bees, I think for deep sea subs it works as a term.
It depends on how much faith you put in the CEO. If you want to see him with a lot of skin in the game, then you'll probably want to sell your shares now. If you're basing ownership off some other values (projected growth, P/E ratio, whatever), then maybe it's fine to hold on to your shares.
That would also significantly narrow the scope of the question to something that's actually answerable. "but why gradle?" is basically impossible to decide between "are there advantages to using gradle here", "gradle is abjectly terrible, why are you even using it", "gradle isn't available when compiling on an android device, why don't you use something with better platform support" or any number of more/less extreme/trollish questions/"questions".

My friends from India have been waiting 8 years, paid hundreds of thousands in US taxes and are still years away from getting their GC. So I can say with complete certainty that this figure is incorrect. I wish it weren't. But we have an obligation to understand the law and the situation as it exists rather than as we wish it did. These are real people with families, houses, etc. who are afraid every day that by the whim of their employer they'd have to pack up their whole lives and leave at the drop of a hat. No one deserves that.

Also, using the word "war" to address waste, poverty, terrorism, "drugs" and so on normalizes the idea that war is a good and necessary thing.

In most other cultures people don't use the word war metaphorically because it's seen as a terrible thing.
Sure... but the drugs in this case are illegal. The key words here are 'illegal drugs'. I believe it is still a crime (I'm guessing a felony) to distribute drugs at any party, sex or otherwise.

No, trading volume is not a measure of liquidity. It doesn’t matter how many times per second some coin — deposited at an exchange — changes owner (according to that exchange’s database) if selling $1m worth of the coin crashes the price to zero.

A trader can easily inflate volume by creating two accounts and trading back and forth with himself, thus making his two deposits count many times over in the trading volume of that exchange. But in the order book his deposits can only count once.

Does anyone have more context on why Ireland's loophole will take so long to close? I suspect they're worried about externalities and retooling costs for entities obeying the spirit of tax law but it seems like they could put monetary thresholds that lower yearly rather than an all or nothing in 2020.

e.g. Why not say "new tax code applies to any company doing >$1B worth of business in 2018, >$500M in 2019, and all companies in 2020?"

Just curious if there's well-thought out reasons that this doesn't work.

> What I'd say is that the US is pretty terrible at both and that's sad.

Right, inefficiency tends to harm both equitability and value/cost(loose efficiency definition), but the US market is not what it is because it is efficient or because it is equitable, which is a classic dichotomy of microeconomics.

> Some evidence that shows that mostly private healthcare systems generally function better than mostly public ones or some evidence that healthcare regulation in the US has led to worse outcomes and not better ones would at least give me a jumping point.

I see. So the challenge here is that we can only compare apples to oranges over and over again: we could try to see east germand and west germany, but for other reasons the economics were different. We can compare same country public and private like Germany and Argentina, and get to different conclusions (in germany, private is for the rich, in argentina, public is for the poor). We can compare England to the US, but how do you adjust for cultural and income differences?

For example, healthcare in the US was relatively very cheap 50 years ago, where it was still private. What happened in the middle?

Instead of looking so broadly at private vs public, its better i think to focus on why its expensive. And I can assure you that the top 5 reasons why healthcare in the us is expensive is due to government irresponsibilities. If the government cant even fix its own mistakes, how is it going to handle a much larger responsibility?

> But I'd also ask you to answer your own question here.

And not being from the US, I think you're ignoring the reality of how large a problem "preventing the police from murdering any innocent person" actually is here. It shouldn't be, but it is, and we have to work in the world we live in, not the one we wish for.

In the current reality in the US, calling the police about a violent crime underway will provoke a violent response. The caller certainly knows this. We should absolutely be working very hard to change that, but until it changes, trying to hand wave it away by saying, "it shouldn't be that way," ignores reality.

If people on minimum wage can not make ends meet any way then why have the job? It's being subsidised by the government already via food stamps and other welfare so why not cut out the middle man?

Additionally if the unemployment is 4% then raising it slightly isn't a problem. 0% unemployment is bad for an economy and the US has safely hovered between 4-6% which is needed to let businesses be able to hire when more workers are needed

Homelessness is not the only form of poverty. I would argue that long-term homelessness is only a small slice of the pie.

Is it simply part of a regular sales plan? When I was at Intel, any execs that were classified as insiders had such narrow windows when sales were legal, and were under such scrutiny, that they often set up a stock sales calendar to allow sane divestiture of their option-based compensation. There is no meaning to be read into a fixed schedule.
