The issue, of course, is that there's no such database, nor does the idea of one even make much sense. There's too many complex ways you can structure a transaction so that you gain an economic benefit when a company does well, but you haven't personally made an outright purchase of that company's equity. (Most obviously: You can tip an acquaintance and agree to split the profits, but that's just the start.)

Since we can't get a categorical list of "transactions top executives at company X have made, or caused to be made, or otherwise may benefit from", traditionally enforcement has revolved around looking for super suspicious transactions, and then working backwards to figure out if they were made by someone who shouldn't have been making them. And since normal stock trades basically always look unsuspicious, that generally means looking for people, eg, buying short-dated out of the money call options[1]. It's not proof of wrong-doing, but it's a bit like finding someone who's won three lotteries in the past month: It's probably worth checking to see if they've got an uncle who works for the lottery commission. :)

But the flip side of that is that it's generally been assumed that if you don't do something blatantly dumb like buying short-dated out of the money call options, you won't show up on anyone's radar, and you'll get away with it. But maybe not any longer!

[1]: Hacker News's favourite financial journalist, Matt Levine, talks about this a lot, and with good reason. The vast bulk of SEC enforcement actions for insider trading involve people that seem to be almost trying to be caught.
I'm implying that non-official consumers of the Twitter API are slowly being relegated to second class citizens.

Not knocking it, it makes sense from a platform integrity perspective. It is what it is.
Facebook Expanding in Chicago
I appreciate this feedback. The home page is definitely something I've been trying to, somewhat clumsily, put together for awhile now.

The workflow is similar to Heroku's except it's all Docker based: 1. Write code, 2. Git push (your code is containerized), 3. Create your app/services via the CLI/UI. 4. Running in the cloud

I'll set some time aside to work on improving the home page and adding a features page -- thanks again!
Your mental model of how this works within Google is completely foreign to me. I think you've made an unfounded assumption somewhere.

> Given the size of a monrepo, is it possible to run the entire test suite in one's development environment, or do they have another endpoint to push to to run tests on a dedicated server?

Eventually you hit a point where you need systems to run the tests for you. Making this work is part of the investment in infrastructure and tooling you need to do as a big serious company.
> "A U.S. Coast Guard investigation concurred, warning that enclosed duck boats presented a basic safety problem involving life preservers: If passengers put on life preservers while inside a sinking duck boat, they might float upward and drown after getting trapped beneath the canopy; but if passengers escape the duck boat without life preservers, they might drown in open water."

https://www.macleans.ca/sinking-of-leviathan-ii/

> "In the days after the accident, Jamie Bray and other operators tried to defend the practice of not requiring passengers to wear lifejackets by explaining they make escape harder in an enclosed boat. That’s nonsense, says Giesbrecht. He’s conducted a study where people wearing flotation coats are plunged into water: “The assumption is this will hinder their ability to escape the sinking car.” It “really doesn’t.” "

Work may kill us, but I've also seen enough people die shortly after retirement to be a bit suspicious. It really depends on how much your career is a part of your identity.
For deep learning applications, not general HPC (at least, from what I understand).

This sounds cool and all but it’s not worthy of the name until you can flip windows over and write on the back of them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Looking_Glass
Agreed. I think the thing is that GitHub basically supports the separate repo approach fairly well out of the box. Using only a single repo requires more thought around your strategy, especially if you have multiple teams.
Does intermittent fasting make its health benefit claims based on any of this? Because this sounds like fasting windows.
If true, then it is yet another example of anti-competitive behavior from Google. Reminds me of Firefox support in Hangouts.
Duck boats are generally considered a bad idea. They actually didn't work all that well during WW2 in the first place.
I don't know what your perception of my original sentiment is, so let me elaborate.

People generally assume, likely because of the astronomical rate of quality of life expansion due to technology and engineering in the 1900s, that things keep "going forward" at some rate. Often they think this rate is exponential. I see people citing AI implementation engineering as their primary examples of this. It's frustrating because it's not true. AI is old. That's fine and good and wholesome. But there is no real progress in AI theory, it's all practical engineering. Unfortunately, theory and engineering are often conflated with "technological progress" without realizing the former limits the latter with a very hard ceiling.
I should hope that it can at least explain your brain, which is a computer.
The NTSB really should have put an end to this industry in 1999.

They did everything they could legally do, which is to say that they issued many strongly worded recommendations. Unfortunately they don’t have the legal authority to actually force anyone to do anything.
Things to Consider When Launching a Food Truck Business
My previous had a monorepo for the website and backend (but not the mobile apps) which was insane to work with (as a coder I had a dedicated 128 core box to work on, some engineers had more than one, less intense engineers shared one) and a substantial amount of my time was spent just finding code. I guess most engineers just end up working in some nook and so that searching code constantly becomes less of an issue (it never did for me) but the code / debug cycle was dreadful.

I should add that a huge amount was invested in tooling. We had an in-house IDE with debug tools that could step through serverside code. We had a highly optimized code search tool. We had modified a major version control system so it could handle our codebase. (Indeed we picked our version control system because we needed to fork it and the other major version control system was less amenable to our PRs.)

My current job we have a micro service architecture and lots of small, focused repos. Each repo is self-documented. Anyone can checkout and build anything. We don’t need obscene dev servers. We have not hugely invested in tools or workflow.

Client apps are unavoidably larger repos than the services apps.

Based on my personal experience, I think monorepos are nuts.
The "Professional Engineer" designation is super limited and grants some statutory privileges for signing off on public projects, but not much else. The vast majority of engineers behind airplanes and cars are not PEs.
> If the topic of the book isn't something you know well, how well do you think you can judge the coherence of the argument?

Hopefully by the time you have read the book, you have picked up a set of ideas from the field under the discussion and have an understanding of how they relate to one another. So I'm referring to coherence within that set of ideas and relations (which I'll refer to as a 'framework'). To be more specific I'd define 'coherence' as mutual support and lack of contradiction ('mutual support' is like... one point gains strength because of the content of other points.

The probability that the framework is strongly coherent while also in reality being false decreases with the size of the framework. In other words, if the author has made a large number of claims, which are all coherent with one another, the probability that they are true (in the sense of corresponding to something in objective reality) is relatively high. The alternative is that the author went through enormous efforts to create a large, coherent framework which doesn't correspond to something in objective reality. It's just not easy to do that (requires lots of imagination and lots of attention to detail), and it's fairly easy to detect. So either the framework matches something in reality, or the author is a very imaginative and meticulous con artist.

I think the main risk is that the authors trick themselves too, not that it's a fully intentional scam. So it seems like a decent heuristic.
Milwaukee does this, you get on the bus by when an app says it's gonna arrive around there. They also put express buses[1] on the busy routes which don't make the exact same stops. Two ways to split the difference on bunching I guess.

If you check out their site[2] you can click on the Route Map button and see the buses run in real time.

There are US flotation standards for small boats.[1] That requires big blocks of foam that floats. But amphibious vehicles are excepted. This is a problem.

Can I Buy a Franchise for an E-2 Visa?
You seem to have missed the "coupled" in "Lowest unemployment rate since 1969 coupled with negative real wage growth". Neither low unemployment or declining wages alone are indicators that anything is broken. The former just implies that the supply of labor is low while demand is high, the latter implies that the price of labor is shrinking.

But the combination means that there's a problem, because in a free market you would expect the opposite: in times of low unemployment, companies would need to increase wages to attract employees. That this is not happening is a blow against the justification of the current "low taxes, limited regulation" ideology (that it creates free markets), because the labor market doesn't behave like a free market.

I may be mistaken but believe William Gibson had a similar concept in one of his novels where prostitutes would work while in such a state. They could do disturbing work and be free of the consequences of those memories.

I also believe that if such a drug were available it would find first use in the military by certain specialist units.
Instrumental convergence and basic AI drives
I have never used Heroku in production but I always did all the setup work using a hoster like Digital Ocean, the amount of time wasted to set everything up is indeed a pain in the ass. That's why these PaaS are always a good solution for indiehackers/small businesses. I believe tho the homepage can convey the message better, sure I understand what the service offered does, but as a developer who usually has to handle everything by himself, I want to know exactly WHAT is going on behind the curtain, even before a big "TRY IT FREE" button appears on my screen.
Hopefully that's enough feedback from my perspective! Maybe there are other devs like me out there who dont just click red buttons, maybe not :shrug:
Coming home from work yesterday I observed what is supposedly an identically designed boat on the Charles River in Boston. On flat water, the bow is maybe 2 feet from the water. I know nothing about maritime design but as a recreational boater I can tell these things aren’t safe. At the same time, I’m seeing local officials and news outlets in Boston saying that it’s different here, for some reason.
Does it? The demo videos only move the camera side-to-side. I can't find anything detailing whether the image is holographic in the Y dimension.
They are both still non-compilable.
> some of the best software I have ever used

That's some hefty praise, do you mind explaining why it's so great?
It is 0/0 that is undefined. For 1/0 the standard is either infinity (easily checkable in a language like JavaScript or C) or you get the usual talk that you can't mix infinity with numbers and the operation would be meaningless, etc.
Do you remember if the image varies in the vertical plane as well as the horizontal? The demo videos only move the camera horizontally.
Since they're typically boarded on land, it's kind of a bait and switch, isn't it? On land, one wouldn't notice the insufficient freeboard. One might be less likely to notice how enclosed the passenger compartment is, because at that point it feels more like a bus than a boat. Once the thing plunges down the ramp, one might start getting some bad feelings, but at that point it's pretty much too late. Demanding a return to shore would make one appear wimpy, and would inconvenience one's fellow passengers. The same impulse might have prevented passengers from demanding, once the storm got bad, an immediate shore landing rather than a long cruise to the home ramp. The thing is on wheels, so that would have saved all lives.

This firm does seem to target tourists, who would be less likely than locals to have boating experience.

Note way upthread:

> since I had moved back to original state by then

In NY if you leave the state and come back, legally your domicile never changed. Change of voter registration and driver's license are explicitly called out as not being relevant to the question of domicile.

If your domicile is in NY, you have to follow a much stricter test to avoid residency status in those years you were gone. Its a complicated set of rules, but at minimum you have to prove you spent fewer than 90 days in a 1.5 year period or 30 days in a 1 year period in NY state. This is when the proof of where you physically were each day is relevant.
It's a bit harsh to want to end the whole industry, no?

By all means let's get some proper safety standards for these things, but banning them outright seems excessive.
It is not evident that the [lack of] credentials of the person who designed the vessel contributed to its capsizing. This CNN article goes on to discuss the conditions during the day of the incident[0]

The town was under a severe thunderstorm warning issued about half an hour before the boat capsized.

There were numerous reports of damage throughout the county, including trees down and structural damage, said CNN meteorologist Taylor Ward.

The highest wind gust reported in the area was 63 mph.

"I believe it was caused by weather, yes," said Stone County Sheriff Doug Rader.

Any time you are traveling in a motorized vehicle there is a chance that things turn deadly. Let's allow the investigation to continue before rushing to judgement.

If you're looking for sophisticated but understated dinner music you could do a lot worse than Lenny Breau's "Guitar Sounds". You probably have to torrent to get it but it's worth the effort.
All the transactions detailed in the SEC order are outright sales of stock (not options). He was both selling stock he already owned to avoid losses and selling short to generate additional profit. Before it was acquired, AFOP never had a very substantial market cap so it’s possible AFOP didn’t actually have listed options, or that it did but they weren’t liquid.

I suspect that AFOP was probably a typical low volume small cap and that Li’s selling while not large in nominal terms was probably still pretty significant relative to the average daily traded volume. Large enough to be picked up by a pretty simple screen anyway.
Buses can also pass each other or not stop at every stop. If two of the same line's buses hit a stop at once, maybe the second rolls on by to the next stop unless they have passengers to drop off? The example is a little too simplistic but does illustrate how rapidly the issue can appear.
DUKWs performed well enough to stay in US inventory into the Korean war, and France didn't retire theirs until the 80's. Gen Eisenhower called them "one of the most valuable pieces of equipment produced by the United States during the war."
Not GP, but hell yes, worth continuing.
It may be limited but it's not just public projects. When I worked in the offshore drilling business, senior engineers had PEs so they could sign off on drawings submitted to the ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) and perhaps others.
They seem equally unsafe on land.
As a private user, I just use either Clonezilla Live or an old version of Norton Ghost, and burn that to media (DVD-RW lately, it used to be CD-RW until that became unfeasible, and before that floppies). I prefer the RWs because that means I can use the discs from 2 or 3 images ago and recycle them.

I pay Apple to use iOS, so I want them to maintain 100% control over iOS as a platform. If I wanted a balkanized platform, I would buy an Android. I don’t say that to disparage Android, btw. I think the desire you expressed is completely valid. It is just very much not what I want.
The exhaust location is really troubling, they are quite low and on the front of the boat. If you watch video from the storm, I can't imagine the exhaust is venting correctly. I also read If the engine goes, the bilge pump doesn't have a backup, so it wouldn't be functioning, and the front was already under water.... Interestingly the DOT says the exhaust should be at the back or above the passenger compartment but The U.S. Coast Guard regulations do not have this rule, so it's not enforced. Looks like this: http://john.je/tCXb // http://john.je/tCU4 // http://john.je/tBdi
Google has a CI infrastructure which runs most of the affected tests for each commit (which they call "CL") on thousand of machines in parallel. Though even for Google, running the entire test suite every time is prohibitively expensive so they have a way to merge and run multiple CLs in a single batch run every 3 hours, which is useful for testing a CL that may affect hundreds of thousands of build/test targets. If you're interested, this paper may give you an idea how Google is doing test.

An interview with Ilya Varivchenko – a photographer who uses free software
Do they have a claim? Maybe. But they do have a moral claim? This is the interesting area. From my perspective, they have no more claim over your use of any ideas that you may have picked up from your time with them as you can claim from them picking up your ideas from your time with them.

All interactions are multi-way. No one person or group can really claim the high ground in these interactions as all parties are part of the interaction and in some way or another contribute to the idea generation process.
I actually read this book after seeing a glowing recommendation here, probably from you TBH. And I must say I was disappointed. Most self-help and business books have the same structure:

1. Convincing you to accept the import of a problem.

2. Convincing you that the author has the solution to the problem.

3. Outlining the steps to implement this solution.

4. Listing IRL examples to convince you again of the effectiveness of the author's solution.

I read about 25% of Why We Sleep and skimmed the rest, it's all just the first step. I think sleeping is a lot like exercising: Most people agree that they need to do more of it. The problem is that we don't actually do it. So, the most important book on sleeping should be about teaching you how to sleep better and longer, which tend to include:

1. Make sure your bedroom is only for sleeping (and related), not "watching TV room" or "internet browsing before sleeping room".

2. Make your bedroom as dark as possible. Not even one single LED light.

3. If you actually wonder whether you need a short afternoon nap, yes you do.

4. Track your sleep with a device. Remember, the point is to sleep better, not just longer. You can sleep for 8 hours but the tracking will show that you may turn a lot while sleeping resulting in very short REM sleeps.

5. Collect and analyze the tracking data. Everyone is different. Thanks to tracking, I know that I always sleep better if I do some light walking or running prior in the evening.

> My point is that people in the other 49 states are harmed

I know that's your point. But your point is without merit. You aren't being harmed because you aren't showing harm. California isn't vetoing diesels. They are regulating their environment and businesses are responding by not producing vehicles that meet the smog requirements.

You keep talking about efficiency, it's not about that. It's about pollution. You aren't being harmed, even had you been more informed about the 328d.
