Most companies mobilize their excess reserves. There is no point in holding cash doing nothing. But I don't think many companies come close to the 30% figure of Airbnb.

And hence the question - what happens when markets start go down? If they keep pumping money to the hedge fund they might have a contagion risk on their hands like, as pointed out by paganel in this thread, GE Capital almost taking down GE.

This is what SO had to offer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36339533/how-to-generate..., and a quick check of new C++17 features didn't show any that would obviously improve on that.

There's nothing implicitly stopping you from doing some macro magic to implement it, but its not there naturally.
Not at all. Price dumping (also loss leading) is a tactic to build a monopoly or a dominant position on the market. Once competition is driven out, raise prices and barriers to entry to cement the advantages.

Those rich VCs get their money from somewhere. Usually us poor suckers who do not get paid the proper wage. Even a free taxi does not offset it.

One observation about diversity discussions: improved outcomes from diversity are credited to diversity. But worsened outcomes from diversity aren't blamed on diversity.

If you're going to tout problems in stereotypical male/male interactions as evidence in favor of more gender parity, I think you should be prepared to accept problems in stereotypical male/female interactions as evidence against more gender parity.

You didn't say anything about problems in stereotypical male/female interactions at all, so this objection technically doesn't apply to you. But I don't imagine that, had the interaction been a bad one between a male and a female in some stereotypical way, you would count it as an example of the drawbacks of more gender parity.

I am glad that tech is becoming a more welcoming place for women, and everyone benefits when men (or anyone) improve their communication and conflict resolution skills. But I find most discussions about the benefits of diversity to be disingenuous, because diversity is praised for desirable outcomes but escapes blame for undesirable outcomes.

Among the criticisms you could level here (and I agree this exchange warrants plenty of criticism) "waste of time" doesn't ring true to me. The participants resolved the dispute rapidly.
That's their job when the situation warrants it. It's not their job to practice on every Tom Dick and Harry just for the fun of it.

Remarkable got huge potential, but needs better integration with ebook stores (e.g. Amazon), OCR and Apps. Price is excusable for 1st gen, but probably too high for mass market.
I remember the thrift stores in the US are full of second hand clothing that might as well have been all new or maybe worn once. And as a Dutch person I was amazed how much perfectly fine clothing was disposed of. Especially since I usually wear things till they break in some manner.

Actually there was a lot more well fitting clothing (mainly shirts) in the thrift places than in the actual clothing stores. Not to mention pants... for a Dutch person looking for pants in a US store is a no go apparently, it's all far to tiny...

> requires charging thru the ipad's port ...wtf?

i don't get the problem with that fact. At first i was also like "This looks stupid and somehow dangerous for the device/port, and why do i need this adapter??". But after using the Pencil i never even though about the port, or the adapter, or anything like that, since i can charge the pencil for like 60 seconds and directly with my ipad. Without searching my charger. And these 60 seconds will be enough for the day.

With these fast charging / long using times i really dont have a problem with this concept.
Do you think RDP's latency on Windows is okay?

Keep in mind that the latency is only for changes to the mouse cursor and some window operations. Most of the time you will actually use the content of the window which has the same latency as ssh -X forwarding.

In general, my understanding is that the danger has increased in Boy Scouts in the seventies we basically just filled up from a stream. That said, even if the danger has objectively increased in many areas due to population growth etc., like seat belts, we’ve also moved toward trying to mitigate more a$more risks where we can.
Python's little tin god really likes his CPython implementation being the One True Python. Python does the things that are easy to do in an interpreter where everything is a dictionary, and avoids things which are hard to do in that environment. In Python, you can store into any variable in any thread from any other thread. You can replace code being executed in another thread. Even Javascript doesn't let you do that. This functionality is very rarely used, and makes it really hard to optimize Python.

(And no, calling C whenever you need to go fast is not a solution. Calling C from Python is risky; you have to maintain all the invariants of the Python system, manually incrementing and decrementing reference counts, and be very careful about not assuming things don't change in the data structures you're looking at. This is not trivial.)

A generation ago, Pascal had the same problem. Wirth had an elegant recursive-descent compiler that didn't optimize. He insisted it be the One True Compiler, and managed to get the ISO standard for Pascal to reflect that. The decline of Pascal followed, although Turbo Pascal for DOS, a much more powerful dialect, had a good run, and Delphi still lives on.

Nice. I'd like to see e-ink continue to develop.

What I want is an e-ink laptop with simple but good word processing, coding, text-mostly browsing, emails and such.

I like my reader. It doesn't feel like "device" and I'm much more relaxed using it. Im on my third one and all three were on airplane mode since the day I bought them. Reading on tablet/phone triggers my hyperactive "device mode". Checking emails, hn, tinder, contol-tab, notifications, Twitter, youtube... Not good before bed. e-ink just lends to relaxed focus, for me. The battery life also helps me forget it's a device.

An e-ink laptop built for working on stuff with fewer distractions, 20+ hrs battery life, decent text editing and word processing, emails... I want.
The word you're looking for is probably “lag”, not “lack”.
It's a suit that they're sending out for free to anyone (individual customers) who asks, so I imagine they're pretty confident about the confidence in sizing leading to increased sales.

Maybe I just live in a weird place. But I see a lot less branding when I walk around town compared to 20 years ago. My sister has 17 year old twin girls and they pretty much refuse to wear anything that makes them a "walking billboard".

I live close to the university of Oregon and when I was in high school it was all Nike clothes all over campus. Now I still see some but not nearly as much. It is like "Likes" instead of logos is what makes the kids cool now.
I feel the same. Let someone else pay for the development of this technology and I'll use it once it's stable.

It was the quick succession of more than a few rapid edits over the course of several minutes that made me feel that you're over-reacting to the comment.

- Its weird everywhere else in the world to sell firearms in the same store as kids toys, milk and cheese. Weird.

- Gallon cups have indeed existed in promotions at various fast food outlets in the US, maybe not McDonalds I suppose.

- It's extremely rare to have people pull away from a bowser without checking the hose has been put away when you aren't pre-paying for fuel (i.e. many places around the world). However almost every image and video of it posted to car forums etc are from the United States.

- The US government is perceived as corrupt to many people in many nations, and the current office is making that perception greater. That is why people can accept that this level of corruption in Baltimore has happened.

But these were just lighthearted examples, and I digress.

Depends on who needs to work with the code; but sometimes, it might be nice to have an obviously correct (but slow) pure python version, that can share apis and tests with the convoluted "fast enough" version.
PyPy achieves huge performance gains in most long-running code. I don't know what you mean by modest. The main hurdle is slightly longer start-up times while the JIT warms up (comparable to Java).

Why startups aren't really about the tech
European here: when visiting my company HQ I was surprised how casual Americans dress for work. I am not saying devs should wear suit and tie, nothing like that, but even my bosses boss* was wearing what looked like a rumpled sweater with worn out jeans. And I don't mean like fashion statement rumpled and worn out, more like the "great depression" crumpled and worn out. Jules and Vincent in their new t-shirts would fit in perfectly. Another thing I noticed was the absolute lack of color and variation in the outdoor clothing, at least in the morning at Manhattan, almost everyone - men and women - was wearing dark blue or black, no exceptions.

Is this currently my best option for reading black and white PDFs that are formatted for 8.5"x11" paper?
No, the quote specifically says "the reMarkable tablet", meaning the one under review right now. jonnybgood notes that this particular version doesn't have the potential to replace paper because it is too expensive, and I happen to agree.
Quite the opposite - I'm really happy that now it's individuals taking over what used to be government monopoly.
I want the opposite. No cloud dependencies.

Always-connected is a plague on modern computing that has ruined the experience for anyone with slow computers and/or unreliable networks. If you proposed a 3MB web page with 300ms API calls for every action and called that a replacement for an app for anyone with an unreliable/heavily metered connection you would be laughed out of the room. Yet that's the status quo of 'modern stacks'.

It's eye-opening how useless a $1000 smartphone is in the middle of the outback, in the Yukon, etc. We've regressed to dumb terminals with the cost of decentralized computers.
I wish any of my friends would use snapchat, I would be so happy! Instead they use instagram stories, but I can't open instagram without being bombarded by tons of spam and irrelevant ads anymore, I just can't use it.
Distracting from what? Are you just looking at the colors and nothing else as soon as there are any? I think colors are a great way to enhance output, as it is like a third dimension to formatting. Needless to say there might be tools that use them in silly ways, but for example having errors in red immediately can signal something bad happened.
Most of the time, you'd just make eye contact if that. granted, i'm talking about small bumps and things that Americans apologize for daily, but are a normal part of life. Things change a little if you actually get someone to lose balance or fall down. "unnskyld meg" - a form of "excuse me" - same thing someone says if they want me to move. More importantly, make sure the other person is OK. Help them pick up stuff if dropped. Mostly, it just more seems like that sort of thing isn't as big of a deal here because it is part of life, especially on crowded buses.

Don't get me wrong, I find society really nice on the whole. If I fall down on the ice, folks make sure to ask if I'm OK. People help children (and children stop random folks to talk... they are on public buses at school age by themselves). Most people have been really patient with the language barrier - more so than I saw in the US - and people are happy I try instead of being upset that I have an accent. And granted, I was taught some of this from my Norwegian spouse and through language/civics classes required for my immigration.

I honestly hear apologies and the like more from other immigrants, and Americans seem overly polite and fake happy/apologetic in comparison.
Is there an international effort to document and preserve human knowledge so if/when disaster strikes, we can get back on our feet sooner rather than later? In this case the simpler technologies need to be documented with more importance because they will be far easier to reconstruct than more advanced ones.

This might seem like a frivolous effort, but this, along with documenting and conserving the planet's biodiversity are honestly two of the most valuable things humanity can do. We musn't recklessly rush ahead without even planning fallback scenarios or preserving valuable buffers that will cushion the impact of potential setbacks.

For me, its focus on text and deep hierarchical breakdown, in combination with tagging is potent. You may need to figure out your own way to adapt to your PM style though. For example, some common tags I use are "#next", "#someday", "#2018-02-08" and such.
tbh you'll find a similar culture of casual dress in the UK too, depending on what industry you are in. Corporate IT and finance companies can mostly be "business casual", but venture into the media/creative industries, along with the usual tech companies and startups, it's mostly wear whatever you want.

Most assets do both because most assets, most of the time, aren't really/severely* under- or over-valued. But in general, a moving average can help in determining when they were under/over valued.

As a counter-example, an example of "extremely overvalued" in my mind would be Enron before the fall.

This is true, but using a Distributed system like Spark itself adds a ton of complexity in having to understand and manage it. If one can do something with a set of stateless processes, even if it's more performant, I feel it's a bad idea to use a distributed system instead. Not always, but a good majority of cases that I've seen. I've seen projects where Celery would be enough but instead they chose to use Spark/Storm and never delivered.

Aha, you are correct. I got caught by the use of the term "vegan" as a label for food suitable for vegans (to which I normally react as if the label had read "contains concentrated plutonium").

To dig into your question, one first has to answer what the definition of vegan is in the context. Is it just a diet, or is it a belief? While a pet wolf fed only vegan food would probably die from malnutrition, it is fair to assume that a cow left to its own devices would eat food that, while indigestible to human vegans, would be vegan in nature.

But, does that make the cow "vegan", as the cause of this choice is merely a biological one? I do not think it would hesitate to enjoy honey if presented, nor worry if meat was its primary food source.
The neon ski jacket colors seem to have some amount of popularity with tech types.

I do think that there's some deeper truth to your "great depression" comment. As an older millennial, the last major recession left some scars. Most of the outfits I wear cost well under 0.10% of my annual income and I rarely replace anything unless it literally has holes in it.
I had a CrossPad twenty years ago. And it feels like this device has improved extremely little from it. The CrossPad was recording what you wrote in a notepad placed on top of it, it had a little radio in the pen, and later you could download what you did, if I remember, in a vector format so it was better than a scanner. The ReMarkable on the other hand, records what you are writing on a screen and later you can download what you did because it seems the device is not capable of doing a thing with it.

In twenty years, we got... nowhere. Now you can wipe the writing surface with a button press instead of turning a page. Twenty. years.
Extremely simple, and also wrong. Whether stdout is a pipe or a tty makes differences to programs, sometimes huge differences. For example, when connected to a tty, `git log` will use a pager when the output length exceeds the terminal height. With piping, it cannot do that.
To be fair, they already had my resume from earlier-on in the application process.

My Experience with Polymer 1.x at Enterprise Scale – Introduction
Paper is just one of those things where everyone thinks they know what they want to use instead, but who really knows! Maybe what we all want is smart glasses to record and transcribe everything we write onto physical paper / surfaces. I can also see the appeal of a device that facilitates both writing and reading, but the issue is that computers (desktops / laptops) are already so damn good at this.
tl;dr: They buy less in quantity and value expensive brands less.

This is in line with the "spend money on experiences not stuff" trend we're watching rise in popularity, particularly in the younger generation. People aren't flocking as quickly to flaunt their status via possessions, particularly in clothing. The right $20 shirt can look great and last you forever.

I found a $8 t-shirt and $20 pair of pants that I like. I have a handful of them. They last a while and a topic-specific t-shirt drifts in here and there. I replace socks/underwear every couple years. I already have a suit from past experiences in case I need one. I replace my daily shoes ~annually. I wear the same thing to work and at home. (Disclaimer: I'm a software guy with no interest in fashion.)

Per the stereotype: I'm pretty sure I spend more on streaming services per year than clothes. (Even if you don't count a slice of Prime for the video streaming).
