Some care about ideology / politics more, some care about money, some care about sex or some other social capital; I think if one wants to relate facts, books are much more efficient. My favorite documentary maker is probably Werner Herzog and he opens his Aguirre with a complete lie that it was based on something written by missionaries. On the commentary track he doesn't really have a justification other than it looked nice.
That list is a bit weird though (looking at the top 10 overall)
i'd be very interested in knowing that as well. doesn't seem like it'd be material information
I think “the Earth is huge” is one of those things that makes intuitive sense to us, but that fails to take in to account the scale with which we operate. A desalination plant must put a lot of excess salt into the ocean somewhere. Whenever you’re dumping high quantities of something into the ocean, there’s always going to be some effect. The question is just “how significant” is the effect. I assume the local animal population could perhaps be greatly affected. And depending on the region there could be effects on migrating populations as well. Everything we do has an impact.

>That being said, I think it's generally a positive thing. Teen Boss isn't replacing kids reading the WSJ, it's replacing tweens swooning over boy band photos in Tiger Beat.

Being into boy bands is a perfectly harmless (and normal) use of a teenager's time. Being obsessed with emulating their YouTube idols on the path to riches, is insidious, demoralising when you realise most of it is luck, which you will not have, it's perverted and unhealthy.

Yes and no.

>After Rule 10b5-1 was enacted, the SEC staff publicly took the position that canceling a planned trade made under the safe harbor does not constitute insider trading, even if the person was aware of the inside information when canceling the trade. The SEC stated that, despite the fact that 10b5-1(c) requires trades to be irrevocable, there can be no liability for insider trading under Rule 10b-5 without an actual securities transaction, based on the U.S. Supreme Court's holding in Blue Chip Stamps v. Manor Drug Stores, 421 U.S. 723 (1975).[0]

Without knowing the 10b5-1 schedule you can't say if insider knowledge was used when executing the plan. The simplest and dumbest version of this would be unique individual sale plans for each share you own for every day of the year. You just cancel the ones you don't want to sell, until you do, and everything is legal.

I'm 34 and I've never had photos developed. When I was old enough (14-15?) to care about taking pictures of things I had one of those Sony Mavica floppy disk cameras that could hold something like, I dunno, 30-50 pictures.

But, on the flip side, every time I goto Walgreens there's people getting photos developed.

The only extreme thing with this, is collecting this useless information.
It's always amazed me that the SEC standard is proving insider trading willfully took place. Which is a pretty high bar. How about...

If we can prove you knew about it, we convict you.

If we can't prove you knew about it, but your transactions appear to be insider trading to a jury, then you have to zero out the transactions (either by repurchasing equivalent stock or some other method).

You don't get charged, but there's no "getting away with it" either.

I just listened to a podcast today about insider trading... and apparently, there’s not actually a law against insider trading itself. Technically what you get prosecuted for is stealing information, or something like that. Obviously there is tons of case law to support the illegality of insider trading, but you can’t find an actual law that says “you will go to jail if you do insider trading”.

For the longest time you couldn’t get most console dev kits without a business address and very strict guidelines on a separate lockable space for the hardware.

This won’t do much good for the automakers either. They want to sell one version of a platform to all states. Dividing the standards makes things more expensive - they would absolutely have to do something about California’s waiver, which I doubt will happen while Trump is still in office. I don’t get their agenda.

Am I not right here, or is it supposed to be "a usual caveat"?

Edit: Or alternatively, "an unusual caveat."
i think so too.

if Trump is still around in Nov 2020, he's overwhelmingly likely to lose. his opposition is extremely motivated and overflowing with a prurient desire to defeat him, while Trump's remaining voters, who have been repeatedly embarrassed and disappointed, have as much motivation to show up at the polls as a child has to show up at a vaccination clinic.

Matt Levine, always interesting.

Not related, but required to fully underarms how different this case is. Defendant wasnt given insider information, and prosecution accepts this as true. He kept being told he was doing a project for another company, but he slowly figured out that was fabricated story and correctly deduced it was for his own, Equifax.

This is such a borderline and interesting case. I would definitely have preferred a not guilty verdict since this decision unbound what can be considered as insider information. It has the potential to make it very difficult for employees to trade their stock even when not told insider info, but then just being smart.

This thread is getting pretty stale at this point, but I talked to my father in law about winters on a small farm and figured I’d relay the information here.

He said that winters are definitely less work than summers, but that means that work days are more like 10 hours instead of 14. He said they still have to tend to the animals (milk cows, feed chickens, feed and cleanup after cows, horses and pigs), gather firewood, pump water from the well, clear snow, etc. Plus they do stuff that they simply don’t have time for in the summer. Repair things, spin wool and hemp, pluck geese for down, etc.

That being said, when he was growing up in Eastern Poland, 7 years of school were mandatory and he said basically all families adhered to this requirement. This indicates that there was some level of surplus generated by this lifestyle, because children become pretty useful by 5-6 years old, so having them spend 7 years being non-productive at school is a big deal.
Glib answer: You can't hot patch paint

More serious answer: I think its fair to say the concern isn't the miss of an individual deadline or even multiple deadlines. Its the attitude and the process and the communication that surround those misses. There is no seemingly justifiable cause for continued misses beyond Tesla not having the internal knowledge or controls to make this happen. That, the process concern, is more of what you are seeing than a concern over a late project. When the response to missing a project deadline seems rooted in CEO ego I get concerned.
That's one crucial aspect of the problem. My fingers can navigate across physical controls, simply using my sense of touch, without triggering any of them until I exert sufficient pressure. Could this be emulated in theory with haptic feedback? possibly, but nobody is offering such flat-screen UIs at the moment.

It feels like everything Walmart does is in part a response to Bezos. And given Buffett's exit last year, maybe him too.

It's not a totally crazy response, though. Even considering Berkshire and Amazon haven't announced any real details and could basically just be self-insuring their workers through a nonprofit they fund to reduce administrative costs and taxes.

But it's like corporate Go. You so much as signal interest in a corner and the other side has to reposition itself so it could defend the possibility.
They could split the conference into an US and an EU branch, run simultaneously by streaming, so researchers could make their presentations and attendees watch from both countries.

A) all radome materials have some degree of loss. Ideally you want no loss at all. The path loss in higher than 10GHz frequencies to LEO is already extreme.

B) not just up but to the sides and toward the horizon as well. This will be a non moving phased array antenna that can talk to two LEO satellites moving across the sky at the same time. I predict that any reasonable amount of blockage to the sides will not be a good idea for their network architecture.

C) all Tx have some sort of sidelobes and nothing has a perfect f/b ratio. Will still be detectable by spectrum analyzers from the side.
This is actually the reason I quit FB. Nobody was saying anything, but being on FB seemed to replace normal modes of checking in with distant friends and family.

Yeah, many of the gamer/maker youtubers provide a lot of insight into the work involved in creating a successful youtube channel. For every successful youtuber there are many aspiring ones, mostly kids, who are putting a lot of work into it on both the creation and marketing ends. They already know or learn quickly that it is not a get rich quick scheme, and young people, in comparison to adults, seem to have a better handle on social influence and how important it is for monetization as well as how tenuous and meaningless it is from an actual social viewpoint.

>Held. (Rehnquist, J.) No. We embrace the holding of the Second Circuit in the 1952 Birnbaum case, 193 F2.d 461 (2d Cir. 1952). That rule demands that a plaintiff must be either a seller or a buyer to seek a remedy under 10b-5 and we reinforce this rule both through contemplation of legislative history and by policy deliberations. The SEC had attempted to get Congress to amend 10b-5 to contain “any attempt to purchase or sell a security”, but Congress had declined to do this. Congress desired to restrict 10b-5 to cases of “actual damage”, and without Birnbaum, evidence of damage would be too theoretical. Regarding policy considerations,the Birnbaum rulemay incite the offerees, knowing that they would not be subject to summary judgment would sue to push the corporate defendant to settle out of court,would lead to “strike suits”. The evidence presented by an offeree at trial would be too subjective, seeing as no objective criteria could assistin measuring plaintiff’s dependence on the prospectus. In conclusion, Manor Drugs has no contractual right to a Birnbaum rule. Manor Drugs was a member of a limited class, but permitting them to utilize the rule would lead to a breakdown of the Birnbaum rule. Reversed.

And of course you can see Congress adding loopholes they can themselves use.

How to Convert UHD Blu-Rays to 4K MKV
When people talk about California regulations driving away business it's always an immediate sign to me that they either watch too much Fox News or they're simply talking the book.

First off, $800 is probably too low. It's in California's interest to drive away low margin businesses. If your business really struggles to pay $800 then you should move to Texas or Wyoming. $800 is unlikely to get you even a parking space.

Second, all actual data, actual evidence, not handwavy whining about regulations, indicate California is still far and away the most dynamic economy in the US with the best business growth [1]. Now you might argue California's growth would be even more extraordinary with less regulations (though again, if people ever bother to open a book and learn from the past they'd see most deregulation efforts eg electricity have done more harm than good) but this is a far cry from what may be the most dynamic economy in the world hosting a "small business assassination program."
