Other than some English or Russian Lit classes, does anyone read his works these days? I imagine they are like those of other Russian writers, dense prose, too many characters, one thousand page door stops.
The question is whether that can justify a valuation 30 times as large.
I was curious if this was true, and asked. The answer I got was http://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/2018-April/013510.html and it appears that this isn't true.

Specifically the original man page (http://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V1/man/man1/rm....), dated November, 1971, shows Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson as the original authors.
OP_RETURN is standard. So all of them.
Also it’s a constitutional issue in Canada. The foundation of Canada was by mainly two groups: the English settlers in the French settlers. The confederation of Canada therefore gave both languages equal status.
Quite the opposite. The songs is about them selling drugs: “Catchin' keys from 'cross seas, Rollin' in MPV's, Every week we made forty G's”

The basic premise is money rules everything so if I want power/influence/success I have to either play the game or accept defeat.

“Method Man is not glorifying money and excess; rather, he’s saying that money holds power, and is a factor of major decisions made in the world he lives in. Those who have it, have power and those who don’t, won’t get up anywhere; sort of a way of saying “Money is the root of all evil”, if you will.”
The degree might be in anything, but there are many pre-reqs before you can apply, such as organic chemistry.
When I lived in California, Mexican food was cheap and almost always delicious. Where I currently live (somewhere in Europe), Mexican food is always expensive, sometimes good, but most often mediocre. I am yet to have an amazing and cheap Mexican meal over here.

A while ago, I built a prototype that did something somewhat similar with IPFS instead of blockchain. It also pinned the IPFS object automatically. It saved the entire tweet minus all mutable attributes (user info, retweet count, etc).

I didn’t think of using a twitter bot for archiving, that’s clever.
The problem is that the rev/user isn't constant. If they get more users, they earn more from each user. And conversely, if they lose users, they earn less from everyone. So even if a small percentage of their users opted to pay monthly, that would have a negative impact on facebook's earnings on the remaining population.

I would wager quite a bit (I wager my career on things like this daily), but based on the ability for you to communicate effectively and based on facts thus far, I'm not entirely convinced that when you end up being wrong, you'd accept it, understand it, and pay up.

The ball's in your court man. Posturing around a wager is just you flailing around, empty handed.
I actually don't think that's a counterargument at all. If someone like Ive is able to run unchecked and produce the failure that is the MBP keyboard, then that's a problem outside of Ive.
I downvoted you for simply quoting a fictional TV character as your reply.

That's more appropriate for other Internet forums, as HN seems to value substantive discussions rather than pop-culture references and one-liners.
You're describing a different problem. Killcord solves the Insurance Policy problem:

Suppose you're a whistleblower, who exfiltrated gigabytes of unredacted data from the NSA. So far you've leaked only redacted excerpts, but the NSA might kill you to stop your leaking.

However, the NSA really doesn't want the whole archive leaked, or it would blow their agents' covers.

So, you put the whole archive up on the net, encrypted, and set up Killcord to decrypt unless you keep checking in. This keeps you alive, since the NSA knows it'll leak if you're dead.
The US has a bit of an oddity in the law:

"The federal government controls the nation’s time zones, as well as the start and end dates of daylight saving time. States can choose to exempt themselves from daylight saving time — Arizona and Hawaii do — but nothing in federal law allows them to exempt themselves from standard time."

all of the theaters in chicago near me basically only offer VIP experiences; Decent prices only exist at university-run theaters, or 30min/1hr drive out of the city.

I'm a student, and now I'm essentially banned from watching any recently released movie except as a significant luxury. And I liked watching movies; I've been gentrified right out of the theater.

And probably in the future, 10 years from now, with large disposable income, having lost all habit in watching in theaters, and the prices knocked up another $10 per movie, I'm still not going to watch movies in theaters.

The market is trying as hard as it can to make sure I find a suitable alternative before then; I don't know what my kind did, but clearly the theaters are fed up with it
Divulging that is probably too much detail.
This refers to sedans and coupes, excluding crossovers, trucks, SUVs, and commercial vehicles. But it does appear they will create new "silhouettes" between cars and crossovers. From the Press Release [1]:

> Building a winning portfolio and focusing on products and markets where Ford can win. For example, by 2020, almost
90 percent of the Ford portfolio in North America will be trucks, utilities and commercial vehicles. Given declining consumer
demand and product profitability, the company will not invest in next generations of traditional Ford sedans for North America.
Over the next few years, the Ford car portfolio in North America will transition to two vehicles – the best-selling Mustang and the
all-new Focus Active crossover coming out next year. The company is also exploring new “white space” vehicle silhouettes that
combine the best attributes of cars and utilities, such as higher ride height, space and versatility.

[1] https://media.ford.com/content/dam/fordmedia/North%20America...

EDIT: The press release from which all this interest is coming may only refer to Ford North America's development goals. Ford Europe is almost a different company and is responsible for most (all?) of the Focus and Fiesta's development. Perhaps Ford NA will stop bringing new sedans/coupes to market (excepting Mustang and Active) and simply import the smaller vehicles.
The article doesn't address this, but one way to renew older industrial cities would be to connect these cities to more vibrant cities through better public transportation.

For instance, both Lowell and Worcester in MA are each less than 50 miles from Boston, when measuring city center to city center. Both cities fell on hard times in the 20th century, but reliable rail with 20-30 minute travel times is technical feasible and would do wonders for both cites, not to mention help relieve the severe housing shortage around Boston.
Have you also considered that the users who would love the option to switch for $100 may be worth much more to them?

Re: “let”

"Volatility" in the term "Volatility Trading" does not mean the stock's movements, it is a way of measuring the excess value in an option beyond what the parameters of the option would imply. That excess value is usually referred to as the market's assumption about the future volatility of the stock, but really its just an error term influenced by market participants based on supply and demand. Low volatility means "pretty close to its theoretical value assuming no volatility" or to put it another way: "cheap" i.e. good for buyers and bad for sellers.

Sort of like how different companies with the same cash flows can trade at different multiples, otherwise identical options in two companies (or different expirations/strikes in the same company) can trade at different prices because of the opinions of market participants. Volatility traders act when the different prices/error terms are too far apart, counting on the prices/error terms to converge a.l.a. pairs trading.

Since they are trading the error term directly, they attempt to construct positions that remain relatively flat in value as the stock moves around, but are designed to only change in value when the error term changes. That is how they can make money "both ways", because they can profit if the stock goes up, down, or stays the same, as long as the error term moves in the correct direction.

The reason you only see sophisticated people doing this kind of trading is because you need a large and complex position with many hundreds of options to be in a truly market-neutral environment. You can't take advantage of mispricing without such a large position because buying/selling single options involves a tremendous amount of risk, so you need to do that as a part of a larger portfolio to spread that risk. Retail traders tend to spread the risk by doing 2 transactions (the mispriced option and a well-priced but mirrored hedge option), but that is a) much more expensive from a commissions standpoint and b) really limits the range of market-neutrality forcing you to adjust more frequently to stay market-neutral, again, with commission costs.
I'm not sure if it's relevant, but my mind keeps coming back to it, which means it's probably throwing other people for a loop, too. I doubt the confusion would stop anyone from hiring you, but I can't help but wonder:

What were the two offenses? I see the one that's cited. I'm not clear on whether that's the first one, or the second one. Or were they both the exact same offense? Was the cited one the 'worst' of the two? Was the first one just shoplifting some gum? Again, I don't really know if it's relevant, but I kept re-reading the statement trying to parse it, and couldn't.

Having dug through the OpenBSD source code - it looks like backlight control on x86 will only work if you have either:

1) Working generic ACPI backlight control
2) A Thinkpad
3) A Toshiba
4) An Intel GPU

Further, in the case where your machine satisfies more than one of these, you'll end up using whichever one attached last with no way for userland to override it. So, yeah, easier to use but failing to solve a bunch of the complexity as a result.

I really don't think changing the script while keeping the language is all that difficult. At least as long it has a somewhat similar glyph count. In my teens I learned about runes and was able to write my native language in runes within half an hour and fluently within 3, including reading of course. Also as a Computer Science major I have a somewhat okayish knowledge of the Greek letters and when visiting Greece I could with a bit of effort figure out the street signs without problem. Sure people will be less fluent in the one they don't use as often but I doubt it's a make hindrance

He's right. I did it. But, why does the author think Macs are more profitable?

The market is smaller. As it's smaller, it's less differentiated providing fewer niche markets.

I'm not saying the author is wrong, but I would like to know the author's thinking.
I can't tell whether you're talking about how you think things should work or making claims about how they actually do work. If the latter: no. DV certificate checks don't use HTTPS to validate ownership. The point of DV certificate checks is to provision HTTPS in the first place.

If you control BGP, you can thwart DV checks and get a certificate issued. You can do that without touching the DNS at all.

Interestingly Ethereum has hit in a sweet spot: tech crowd that learns EVM quickly and enjoys playing with it (like a new raspbery pi) & has sizable spare cash to invest in ether/erc20. Bitcoin is nowhere as fun to learn, the VM is quite boring. I wonder if any other blockchain can hit into this sweet spot.
I proposed something like that for Python in 2010.[1] Immutable objects could be shared. Mutable objects had to either be unshared, or a subclass of an object that enforced synchronization.

Python's Little Tin God didn't like it. Mostly because I proposed to freeze the code of the program once the second thread started. That takes away much of the dynamism he insists on.

Might be worth looking at again. The separation of data into immutable, unshared, or synchronized is mainstream now.

I feel that what he's saying is that it's hard to tell if somebody actually has a working strategy or it's just gambling, they can be nearly indistinguishable, and (given the number of people) someone showing a streak of successes is really not much evidence that it's something beyond luck.

They may have something, but since you can't determine if it's so and there is a lot of just gambling, then most likely it's that.

Yup.

Although they're rolling out a half-ton diesel F150 which will help a bit. Still I'd wager that most people who buy one rarely put it to use. The number of commuters in the city I see with F150s/1500s/etc is pretty staggering.
> Some of us are adult... We don't need to be treated like children.

Why do you think planning and management is treating people like children?

How do you know what needs to be done? Are you sure you know what needs to be done?

I said stuff like this when I was young just starting out writing software in the film industry. There were dailies and rounds, progress updates twice a day, and I fought them. I was wrong, and it took time for me to understand why.

In my experience since then as both an engineer and a manager, it's clear that knowing what needs to be done at all times is very difficult, and unless you're a one person shop or in research, it involves talking to other people frequently.

If we knew what needed to be done, businesses would never fail, over-engineering wouldn't exist, no deadlines would ever be missed, and no budgets would ever over-run. I've seen a lot of people who think they know what needs to be done. I've never met someone who actually knows what needs to be done most of the time. If you do, you should manage instead of writing code.

FWIW, I don't know if this will help you or irritate you, but as a manager, your response sounds to me (ironically) quite immature. if I got this response from someone on my team, it would be a huge red flag.
It's part of the standard, but atypical and consumes block space. So there would be less incentive to include such transactions.
"Let the statistic t_0 be the inf of all these t-statistics. Let T be the event that t_0 is at least as big as the observed value." Oops, I meant the inf of their absolute values, and T is the event that t_0 is at least as big in absolute value as the observed value.
People don't understand how much wealthier the US is than most of the Western World. I realize, and please don't harp on, the fact that healthcare and college aren't free here, but the median German makes the less money than the median income in all but 9 states, and it becomes substantially more unequal when you look at PPP.

Now, if you want to talk about Quality of Life, instead of per capita income, I think there's probably a lot more going for the EU - much lower crime, better infrastructure, less absurd politics, more vacation. I'd definitely live in Nice over Minnesota, and I love Minnesota.

Since that time, the gas mileage on an f-150 has gone from around 15-16mpg up to as high as 22 mpg. So they have that going for them.
That's just not true. The 1996 web already had news, porn, and forums — the same things people use it for today.

Those things were a bit slow to access over dial-up (porn in particular), but millions of people were using the web daily by the time Netscape IPO'ed.

There's no similar moment in sight for Ethereum's hypothetical "Web 3.0".

> It's more that people are concerned that they will have to be closeted in polite society. I think there's anecdotal evidence to support that concern. See the recent New Yorker piece about Chic-Fil-A "infiltrating" NYC. Infiltrating it with what? Sandwiches? No, it's about the conservative Christian owners setting up shop in NYC.

> On June 16, 2012, while on the syndicated radio talk show, The Ken Coleman Show, Chick-fil-A president and chief operating officer (COO) Dan Cathy stated:

>I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, "We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage". I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about.[1]

You use the word "closeted" for having to keep mum about your (not you specifically) belief that people (based on their sexuality) should be allowed less rights than you. I frankly find that remarkably bold.

Sure, Chic-fil-A stopped funding most of those organizations after the "incident", and I'm sure people like their food, but I also don't think an editorial about it is out of order.

If that is indeed "conservative Christianity", then as a Christian: I'll just say that it's some times old testament, when it fits, and very rarely if ever, new testament.

Clickbait? Taurus is their full size sedan. The PDF linked in the story points out that the Fiesta which their subcompact, the Fusion which is their midsize, and Taurus, are not getting refreshes. Now when the model cycle runs out I did not find.

If anything it represents the legacy of their prior CEO's failure to keep Ford competitive in that segment. 2017 they sold over 200k of the Fusion and 150k of the Focus. the profit margin on SUV and trucks has always been higher. They sold over 300k Escapes which is a small SUV and over 270k Explorers which is fairly large.

Maybe after all the years under Fields they decided they needed something radical to move the company forward. Like about every other manufacturer they plan on more EVs by 2020 but the big rollouts are not till 2022
A 2018 F-150 with EcoBoost will essentially get the same MPG as a 2018 Ford Taurus. I suspect the Focus Active will be their high efficiency vehicle and they'll continue to increase the MPG on SUVs and certain trucks.

I'm in the market for an SUV or crew cab truck for weekend road trips (I walk to work) and have been impressed with the 2015+ F-150s. If I actually did commute every day I could just buy a 10 year old Honda or Toyota and have the best of both worlds.

There's ambiguity in the current title with the idea of the earnings sliding (which they didn't).
They'll still be selling their cars in Europe. The latest gen Focus and Fiestas all came from their European divisions, if problems occur they could theoretically reintroduce them quickly - although they would have lost all their brand momentum in the small car market.
Title is misleading and borderline clickbait -- they use 'car' to mean sedan. Ford will still sell SUVs and trucks.
