The company was intentionally keeping him in the dark about the matters, and he put things together. Is that really insider trading?
The title of the article is

"So this is why Siri is way behind the Google Assistant and Alexa".

The submission title should be changed.
Those 10,000 years have involved very, very little in the way of free speech for most people - I don't think going back to the days of lèse-majesté and the Inquisition is what you had in mind, even though those institutions certainly provided stability in a sense.
You can probably point to a lot of quality failings at Apple as starting with Steve Job's death. Apparently he failed to teach and instill a culture of high quality and instead just focused on micro-managing everything himself. Steve Jobs may go down as both the best and worst CEO Apple ever had.
I gave up "fizzy drinks" ( I think it's called soda in the US?) And I've noticed a marked improvement in my mental and physical health. I feel less jittery and my concentration is better.

If insider trading laws didn't exist, would we have known that something was wrong more quickly? Are high-volume trades from executives public? It seems to me that insider trading laws mean people take every step to keep bad things about a company secret, which is not good for consumers.
its pretty objective if you measure it in terms of infrastructure.

- rate of new miles of roads
- rate of increase/decrease in potholes per 10 miles
- number of bridges that need fixing
- number of people on government assistance
- percentage of population in jail
- peoples test scores on standardized international tests

its not like things are unmeasureable... just that politics awards those who ignore these things
The system can be crowded, but not as crowded as Tokyo or even London IME (very limited experience of course)
>: assuming that all politicians are corrupt anyway,

Why would the politician need money. After the change insider trading where congress cannot be investigated, all you need to do it tip them off before major news and they can make their own 'cash envelope'.
Entrepreneurs engage in self-sabotage because they are people, and people engage in self-sabotage.
It is a thing. I don't think any online course can beat a good teacher in a small classroom, but online courses can take you a long way, and are wonderful for the broad variety of courses available. YouTube recordings of university lectures are also very useful - MIT has excellent courses available for watching. Self-learning is not suitable for everyone, but if you have discipline and the ability to understand how things fit together in a subject, it can really work.

It's probably more accurate to say that, at the time he became a whistleblower, he had reasonable idea to believe that it could wreck his life. From the WSJ article:

http://archive.is/wO4B0#selection-955.0-958.0

> He says he was told by his parents that Ms. Holmes called the elder Mr. Shultz in the summer of 2015 to complain that their son was being unreasonable. Tyler Shultz says he also got a tip that private investigators were watching him.

> In a conversation in his parents’ kitchen, they pleaded with him to agree to whatever Theranos wanted, he says. Even though his heart sank when they discussed selling their house to cover the costs of defending him against a potential Theranos lawsuit, Mr. Shultz didn’t make a deal with the company.

> His parents said in a statement: “Tyler has acted exactly like the man we raised him to be, and we are extraordinarily proud of him.”

"His parents said in a statement" -- I remember when reading this story when it was originally published (2016) thinking how odd it was that his parents didn't agree to be interviewed in person. Or at least were worried about speaking out of turn at that point in time.
Insider trading requires inside _knowledge_. Deducing it oneself is not a defense. Just like classified information, it doesn't matter how you got it, it matters what you do with it.

If you guessed that your employer may be in trouble and then sold stock, is that considered insider trading?

Let's say, you are in charge of security. The CEO is never interested in your work. One day, you got an invitation to meet with the CEO. You sold all your stock before you go to the meeting (based on a guess that something bad might have happened). Is that illegal? Is the meeting invite considered material non public information?
Well, Mr. Bezos' own nightmare is Alibaba for obvious reasons - when most of what he does is reselling stuff from China, how he is gonna compete if he has to sell Chinese stuff cheaper than Chinese do themselves?

>While that does seem unfair, how airtight would that case have to be?

And therein lies the issue. If you are rich the state has to spend huge amounts of money to prove the case 'beyond a reasonable doubt', unfortunately for the poor it seems 'the preponderance of evidence' seems to be more than enough to get a criminal conviction.

> I happened to have a series of genetic alleles, "warrior genes," that had to do with serotonin and were thought to be at risk for aggression, violence, and low emotional and interpersonal empathy-if you're raised in an abusive environment.

I worry that violence breeds violence, literally. What will happen to kids growing up in Syria today, where effectively mass abuse takes place (unless different kinds of abuse have different effects)? What will happen to kids growing up in the U.S. and Europe today, where they experience the constant bombardment of hate, either by observation, participation, or as victims of it?

EDIT: How many extra abusers are we creating in the next generation, who can pass it down to their kids, etc. ... On the hopeful side, violence has decreased in the world over time; we can make make progress if we want to.
On the other hand, we simply accept insider trading as one of the perks of Congress.

Oh interesting, I didn't know that. I guess I'll leave my comment for the next person that has the same inclination as myself.
constant angular velocity is not the same as constant linear velocity. One of them, things move faster or slower against a fixed reference point depending on where you are on the disc.

So I'm a bit confused about what 'all' and 'rotate once every billion years' means here. If they all have the same angular velocity, thats pretty bizarre. If the net effect of scale is that on average, for a given frame of reference, stars in the disc move at much the same rate no matter what size the disc is, depending on how close to the core, thats different, and possibly just about ytivarg, the thing which makes centipede force work

It's always bothered me how complex of an operation people seem to think this is.

errno = pthread_mutex_lock(&m);
if (errno == 0) {
do_something();
pthread_mutex_unlock(&m);
}

Short of a segfault or 'do_something' doing something really, unusually stupid, you can't avoid freeing the mutex.
To say what cheald said in a more concrete way: "now we know why Siri was so dumb for so long" is definitely the title that I am currently seeing. The entire concept that there is a single title that somehow should match across sites is a weird concept made up by Hacker News that doesn't exist in the real world and probably causes more harm than it does good.
A couple more suggestions:

- Find company's with products you like, track down the product people at those company's, and then dig up their blogs/twitters/whatever (pro tip: focus on companies with a product/environment similar to the environment in which you intend to be around product management)

- Reddit can be an amazing resource, too: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Areddit.com+product+ma...

I should be more precise... This wipes out her Theranos stock. Who knows what she paid herself. Her VC was a family friend, so I suspect she has family money, and may stand to inherit Palo Alto real estate.

This is an interesting introduction to writing your own neural network models from scratch in PyTorch.

I don't think it's a great way to learn it though - almost no one writes their own models from scratch.

Almost all the time you want to be using one of the pre-written RNN models, since they are optimized, debugged and do things like use CuDNN where available.
I was a tween when LP hit. I remember my TV shooting out of of an 8 foot tall entertainment cabinet and taking the whole thing down with it inside. Outside, I watched our 3 acres of squared off of ranch fencing visibly ripple and distort as the waves passed through.

More than one window shattered, and our well (I lived in a remote area) actually was stressed so that it collapsed. We were lucky we only lost power for a week. People further up in the mountains didn't have it for over a month.

Saying it's "obvious and rational" that we want to deter people from committing fraud is not a good defense of those involved with Theranos. I say this, not as someone who will ever invest in private companies, but as someone who occasionally gets blood tests.

I think it's extremely misguided to regard fairness to criminals or defending them as victims as the goal here - the important thing is, as you seem to sort of agree, to deter bad actors and encourage good ones.

Only if you want to hang out with a group of people with no particular shared interests.

It's easier if you take part in some hobby / special interest group. In my experience, a shared interest can really bring people together and lay the groundwork for great social interaction that does not need to be related to said interest.

Do conversations under influence of alcohol really feel meaningful to you? (Honest question, not judging, if you like and it's safe why not.)
At what point does the deducing it yourself become allowable(if ever)? If I work at Amazon, and see Bezos in a conference room banging his hands on a desk and raging(which is not his normal behavior at all), I sell AMZN based on that, and then it turns out they had a massive data breach that tanks the stock price, is that insider trading?

It's more common than people like to acknowledge.

Note that they've forbidden judicial review. The disclosure merely has to be promised by Trump's subordinates that it doesn't violate your constitutional rights and the Judicial Branch is banned from reviewing it? Unconstitutional attempt to remove the Judicial branch from reviewing illegal acts of Congress and illegal acts by the Executive branch and thus an illegal law.

Are the "executive agreements" actually treaties and can Congress abandon its Constitutional duty to review and approve treaties? I say yes and no, thus Unconstitutional and thus an illegal law.

Not true at all. Look up the story of Apple University. Jobs can't run Apple from his grave. He tried his best to leave Apple with the right culture and leadership in his view. And for the most part, Apple has done really well since he passed. No one is going to get 100% of things right 100% of the time, and Jobs is no different; things would have inevitably gone wrong under his leadership, too.

Reddit tries to be just a platform, but it fails in two ways:

1) Namespace of subreddits. The subreddit which snags the most obvious name for a topic has a much better chance of becoming canonical for that topic that competitors with worse names.

2) Cross-subreddit identity and supporting tooling. For example, i can easily search for all recent posts made by a particular user, but i can't easily search for all posts made by a particular user within one specific subreddit. This sort of thing promotes "cultural leakage" across reddits and makes people think of all of Reddit as one community with one culture.

Related: see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16573842 which summarizes a study that finds cultural leakage across subreddits.

The idea of reputation taking prime importance in society... do people not realize how starkly terrifying that is? It's not like it's unheard of. It's how Stalin's purges were run. It's how Pol Pots killing fields were fed. It's how the ghettos in Nazi Germany were stocked.

You do not want a world in which the personal support of those in power are your ticket to a nice life. A psychopath will see that position as alluring, and a psychopath gets in whatever position they care to have. Upon doing so, they will commit atrocities just to see what happens.
I've worked at three publicly traded companies. I don't recall insider trading being mentioned at the first one, but I was in a pretty lowly support role and a former CEO was fined for insider trading. The other two I recall insider trading being mentioned during orientation and in periodic reminders, usually around stock events (such as at least the closed trading window for employees around earnings announcements)

I use mine in all the ways that other people might use a fitbit. It tracks my level of activity (which is somewhere between "horrific" and "terrible"), it tracks my sleep ("excellent") and it gives my my heart rate. It snarkily reminds me when I'm being even lazier than usual, which I probably need.

I also use it to control my music on my commute, or when I'm playing music while doing something around the house, and if I have to head into my bedroom, where the blinds are always down, I can tell it to turn on the corner lamp for me.

It's massively handy to have Siri on my wrist while cooking: What's half a pound in grams? Also, start a timer for fifteen minutes.

Where did I leave my phone? I'll ping it from my watch. Where did I leave my keys? I'll ping my tile from my watch.

I think you are confusing the idea of tea leaves having more caffeine than coffee beans with the final brewed product, as brewed tea almost always has significantly less caffeine than brewed coffee.
It's not uncommon for the intent component of laws to be substantially different than the effects of the actual text. Sometimes because writing laws about complex topics like computer access is difficult, sometimes because the law has some effects Congress would rather not publicly announce. And since the text of the law takes precedence over this sort of statement in court, it doesn't necessarily offer any information as to what changes might actually happen.

Notably, laws like this almost always end up applying far beyond their envisioned scope simply because the landscape changes so fast. The intent of the DMCA or CFAA is substantially irrelevant when major legal cases end up hanging on technicalities in their wording.
