if the premise is that you can't make money as a day trader, no matter who you are, because the stock market is essentially efficient, then they aren't making dumb trades with less information, because all information is reflected in the price. What they are doing is accumulating more risk, giving them higher odds of fluctuating out, but the expected value is the same as holding mutual funds, maybe even a little higher, since mutual funds have administrative fees, and robinhood is free.

If that is not the premise, then it's not good general advice to tell people to avoid day trading as they won't learn anything. If the market is not efficient, then return on investment is correlated with your amount of information, and they will absolutely learn things of actual value, or at least their experience with trading will contain information about the strength of their hypotheses, regardless of whether they infer that information.

I am sure there are people out there renting their spare bedroom, but they aren't the problem. The problem are the "pseudo-hoteliers", who purchase multiple condos and homes and rent them exclusively on Airbnb. I want Airbnb to get away from those users, those are the vacancies that cause problems; entire condo floors empty for weeks at a time, meanwhile, there's nothing but run-down apartments and basements listed for long-term rental.

The regulation question is huge. Airbnb can't survive thousands of cities implementing different kinds of regulations.

There is no confusion between pass by reference" and "pass by value".

They are clearly defined terms in Computer Science.
a) All change is incremental, it doesn't have to be revolutionary all at once to be meaningful

b) There is no question that these taxi/delivery apps have reduced costs. Not to mention his vision for the future of food delivery has hardly been implemented.

Apps are merely being tacked on to existing business models. This isn't the world Steve's getting excited about... it's the first baby steps.

But once businesses are designed from the beginning with apps, decentralized delivery, automation, etc in mind - just as he mentioned his sister in law did with her Vietnamese food service (by just getting a commercial kitchen with no retail front-end besides the app).

Nor has the true power of Uber-style delivery/driving apps been close to being reached yet. There is tons of potential for change still to be done, which will further reduce costs.

c) Yegge himself said this goes beyond food/transport

> Here’s the thing, though: Transport and food are only scratching the surface. Same-day food delivery can be generalized to same-day anything delivery, for instance. We’re going to see major disruptors happening yearly (if not faster) for many years to come. Payments and financial services are up next, and they’re a staggeringly huge opportunity.

The terms mean the same thing in every language. Some people (as shown in the article and this thread) don't understand what "pass-by-reference" means and incorrectly use it to apply to javascript.

The pass-reference-by-value behavior is shared by a lot of languages, I'm not sure why you want to avoid comparison with them.

> I'd imagine you could make a request for inspection on the grounds of independently (and confidentially) assessing the fair market value of your remaining options to determine if you want to purchase them.

I think you need to be careful to make the purpose to assess the fair value of your current holdings, as the purpose has to be "a purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a stockholder". Assessing the value of your unexercised options isn't in the interest of your current holdings. If they push back on this, "why do you want to know the value, you're not planning to sell are you?, etc", then say you need it for estate planning, which is reasonable enough.

Not according to the comment that I am replying to:

> A reference is basically a pointer that the language prevents you from doing pointer arithmetic on, and in many languages such as PHP, is simply automatically dereferenced for you.

Also, the implicit is usually pass-by-value.

function foo(a) { a++; }
function bar(ref a) { a++; }
b = 1;
foo(b); // Pass by value, implicit.
assert(b == 1);
bar(ref b); // Pass by reference.
assert(b == 2);

Heap vs. stack values are not the same thing as pass-by-reference and pass-by-value.

I don't really see how replication/HA is an issue in this setup beyond normal file system replication/HA (which seems to be a solved "spend money on NAS" problem in the enterprise world). If your filesystem isn't reliable / delivering what's needed then you're gonna have a bad time no matter the storage approach; I doubt some unusual option is involved though it would be cool to be proven wrong.

The only time the filesystem could even potentially have read/write conflicts (assuming 1-to-1 correlation between devices writing to files) is when querying. I did wind up muddling the terminology in the interest of jumping to the actual problem.

When they're asking for some ability to perform searches and collect evidence, that's not necessarily counter to the US constitution. Quite the opposite in fact.

You seem to be arguing against a strawman created by a limitation of our current technology. We don't have a way to give them limited access. Right now, we can give them everything, or we can give them nothing. But they're not asking for everything. So we should find a way to allow truly (technologically) limited access, and to make sure that those limits are tight.
How did people do that before there were cell phones?
Well for one, cryptocurrencies (at their current prices) can be divided much greater than simply "1 share". I'm saying that the price that Robinhood sets is dependent on orderbook price which they control.

Example: you buy $20 USD worth of BTC on Robinhood. They give you 0.001750 BTC.

But on other exchanges, you would have received 0.001812 BTC instead. The differing price of BTC between exchanges gives them their "commission/fee".

The lack of transparency in pricing gives them the advantage in exchange for retail consumer confusion over "zero fees".

I'm also hoping the A&B Acoustic II video is similar to the Acoustic I video; the first Acoustic concert video also drew me to go in person.

Side note, Lane 8 experimented with phone-less concerts that went well enough that he does that for his tours now, even naming his new record label "This Never Happened". My friends and I joke that it started with a Mixmag set where a crowd member in the front kept recording video and flash photos, whereas Lane 8 is usually very much enveloped in the music he's playing (https://youtu.be/sWa7GdYiYUQ?t=15m2s).

I've enjoyed his phone-less concerts a lot - it's just tape over the camera, so you can send/receive a quick message if needed, and step off to the back or side if you need to use it longer.

You can do that, it's just stressful. Big company analogy: it's like what if instead of getting headcount allocated just once a year, you had to re-argue about how much headcount your team deserved constantly. ;-)
Who decides what's "metadata". Even with TLS you can still workout what site someone's visiting because the hostname is exposed by SNI (and if it's not SNI, then it's a single IP per hostname so you can just check it).

The hostname tells you when someone's visiting a rape counselling forum or a STI website or a whistleblowing site. It tells you what their political perspective is, their media landscape.

If I were to crash my car today and have to buy a new car... I'd probably get the Volt actually. I feel like the design tradeoffs on the Volt are a bit better for "mass market". The Bolt is still a good design though.

Of course, I'm not planning on getting a car for another 7 years. So its a bit of a hypothetical. My statement about the Model3 is more about the overall optimism and poor predictions in general. I guess the Bolt is a surprise however: that GM could ramp up a pure electric vehicle so quickly.

Its hard to say. 7 years is a long time. But the general rule of Science Fiction remains true: 90% of everything will remain the same. Only 10% of the world really changes per decade.

Bitcoin provides a service though - a service that has demonstrable economic utility. Specifically: international value transfer. There are existing mechanisms for this (western union, swift) and they have costs. The sum of those costs is a reasonable way to think about Bitcoin's theoretical value by substitution, because it costs bitcoin to move bitcoin. And therefore if Bitcoin were to replace all other intl. value transfer mechanisms, the sum of those two sets of costs should be comparable.

Alternative paraphrase: Here is a spec based on our experiences building federated social networks, here are several implementations of it working together, if you want to join your users to this existing network you can implement it or adapt on of the existing solutions.

Melanated people (aka Africans, which is a European term) were the first Hebrews and Arabs.

> But here's a proposal: raise the gas tax, but refund the increase in costs on a means-tested basis. Poof, there goes the concern trolling, but the middle class is still on the hook and they really don't like it, because it might mean that they have to make different decisions about their lifestyle and location and habits

The theory is sound, but the devil is in the implementation here. Some of the largest metropolitan areas in the US (and by extension the entire world) were built around the car, not public transit. The cost to implement effective transit in such suburban sprawls is exorbitant when compared with densely packed urban areas such as NYC or Vancouver for example. There's just too much pre-existing residential area to cover effectively. I don't think it can actually be done in such an area in a way that wouldn't be exponentially less convenient than a car.

Additionally, due to the size of these cities and the number of people living in them, you're talking about completely upending the lives of quite literally tens of millions of people.

If gas is $8 a gallon, should I move closer to where my office is? What if I get a different job? In Los Angeles for instance, there's not one central business district where I can generally expect to find work. The difference between Downtown and Santa Monica in Los Angeles is over an hour during rush hour.

What about my spouse, if I have one? What if their job is in the opposite direction? Should we split the difference? What if there's no suitable housing in between the two locations? Are we going to move every time one of us changes jobs (every 3-5 years on average)? What if we have children? Do we put them in a different school every time we move? What if the schools in the area we're moving to are worse then where we are now? What about after-school activities? These are all very real issues for most lower to upper middle class Americans.

And again, you need to multiply these problems by literally tens of millions of people. It's just not feasible to price people out of their own vehicles without giving them a reasonable alternative. The demographic we're discussing here usually votes, and there's no way they'd sit still for that. I know I wouldn't, simply because Los Angeles would become unlivable overnight.

I made it very clear in my original comment. A sustainable model existed 10 years ago—when Firefox was consequently an effective instrument for actually advancing the mission, and the way the project was managed was an example of the right way to run a project. And that model still exists. Since then, though, Mozilla has thrown the mission and principles half out the window while simultaneously asserting a defense that they need to make money.

Hearing this plea after what Mozilla has done is like going to a burger joint you really like and being told that they had to raise prices because all burgers now come with a special ingredient, and the special ingredient is spit.
