I think it depends. I think long-term investors should still look at short interest and read short thesis to understand counter-arguments. Regarding manipulation and herding, I think it depends. Someone could short Apple on merits of valuation. In this instance, due to the company's strong balance sheet, its a matter of debate and opinion among longs/shorts as a short report will not death spiral the company. In situations where a company has a significant among of debt or a cash flow issue or is a financial company, the company generally has to access capital markets at some point in the near future. This is the danger of leverage, or even proving a business model as a public company.

In the middle ground, you have a company like NFLX where some investors like Bill Nygren are long and advocate the position due to his belief the company has room to raise prices in the future from say $12/month to $15/month, shifting the PE ratio from 150 to 20. My assumption would be that a short thesis would have much less impact on scaring the market to instigate a death spiral for NFLX.

So with Telsa, it is in a vulnerable position due to being in a highly capital-intensive business, negative cash flow, and significant liabilities. But, it also is the only car company ever to presell hundreds of thousands of cars and a CEO who has delivered on big visions and promises before.

I have no personal investment in Tesla, but I hope Elon succeeds as I appreciate his ambition.
I think the next step is to try and examine causation vs correlation via known already bad patients. If say psychiatric inpatients within hospitals start adding in more exercise programs would they have improved patient results? The setting is also important for ethics - if it may worsen patient outcomes one should be ready to prevent further harm.

Or it could theoretically be like trying to treat muscular dystrophy via 100 lb bench presses - the system is too far gone for it to help.
'Like everything in software development, it's about evaluating the right methodologies for the problems rather than hitting every screw with the same hammer."

Very true.
How long you stay on a site or focus on the page with the ad visible can determine this somewhat. If you quickly scroll by once the ad becomes visible and this behaviour is consistent with other pages with the same ad, then you're probably not showing a good ad.

Additionally advertisers do have surveys where users are asked about this (usually not many but sufficient to get a first guess).

On youtube the example would be the ratio of people clicking the ad, people letting the ad play out and people skipping it (and then likely also measuring how long it takes for them to click skip once it's available).
> Just freakin learn perl or python!

For calculations? Sure; but that's not really what bash is for.

Shells are excellent at invoking and managing subprocesses and piping. Python (not sure about Perl, I've not really used it) is terrible at those things.

Take a simple, very common piece of bash code like `foo | bar`. How might we do this in Python? Maybe we reach for the builtin `subprocess` module:

import subprocess
foo_output = subprocess.check_call(['foo'])
bar = subprocess.Popen(['bar'], stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
bar.communicate(foo_output)

Except that this isn't a pipe: it will run `foo` to completion, storing all of the output in memory, then call `bar` on this data, e.g. `foo_output=$(foo); echo "$foo_output" | bar`. This is unsuitable for long-lived processes (e.g. if `foo` is long lived and `bar` is meant to be logging its output), or if there is a lot of data (e.g. `foo` is generating GBs of text and `bar` is summarising it, like `wc -l`).

OK, maybe instead of `check_call` (which is blocking) we make `foo` asynchronous. Note that we can't use `foo.communicate` to get its output, since that would also block. What if we just shuttle data between the two manually, line by line (urgh)?

import subprocess
foo = subprocess.Popen(['foo'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
bar = subprocess.Popen(['bar'], stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
while foo.poll() is None:
bar.stdin.write(foo.stdout.readline())
bar.stdin.close()
bar.wait()

This appears to work, especially when testing with small amounts of data. Yet it's actually a timebomb, since it will deadlock when the subprocesses' pipe buffers fill up (this is why the documentation tells us to use `communicate`, except that we can't since that's blocking https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/subprocess.html ).

It's at this point that we move the data shuttling into a separate thread:

import subprocess
import threading
foo = subprocess.Popen(['foo'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
bar = subprocess.Popen(['bar'], stdin=subprocess.PIPE)

def shuttle():
while foo.poll() is not None:
bar.stdin.write(foo.stdout.readline())
foo.stdout.close()
bar.stdin.close()

thread = threading.Thread(target=shuttle)
thread.daemon = True
thread.start()
thread.join()
bar.wait()

Now we've got a pile of code mixing multiprocessing with multithreading, in a domain known to have deadlocks, with hand-written hard-coded line buffering.

At this point, I'd say just freakin learn bash!
Personally I sync my git repos with git, everything else with OneDrive - that said dotfile support could be added to the client at least in theory…
In the context of the article and other footnotes, it seems like the implication is, “someone is always going to be offended therefore we can’t label some things legitimately offensive and others not”. It’s a form of linguistic nihilism that comes up a lot during discussions about how “PC” things have become.

The racism comment is an example and not necessarily directly targeted at the article, but more at what’s implied given the context (e.g. the comment about The NY Times article having the race changed from “white” to “black”).
Isn't that part of how the UK managed not to starve in the early 1940s? Seems like it was a good idea for them.
If you're going to tell a story to make a point, make sure the story is in sync with the point you are trying to tell. And definitely don't mess it up with a bad story. If you cannot construct a good narrative, just state the point outright.

Yes, even just the "10K steps a day" idea is vastly better than nothing...
If these studies were not behind paywalls people might better understand what they mean.

They did not establish causality in the study and they also said that inactivity might be a symptom of poor mental health. The people who had less mental health days might not be physically ill, but rather, socially ill. If you read the full study and some of the interesting demographics you will see what I mean.

It really tells us nothing but puts more stigma on people who are ill making it seem like it is their fault they are sick.

Honestly, this talk of Twitter “shadowbanning” strikes me as full on conspiracy theory. “I’m shadowbanned! No one can see my tweets!” gets retweeted 10k times. I don’t even follow these people, and it shows up in my TL.

I think this is performance.
There's an air of "I am very smart" about the guy who claims to have memorized the entirety of CSS in a weekend.
They already do .. badly. There was an excellent thread on twitter the other day along the lines of "I went to my doctor saying I was suicidal and got sent away with this worksheet" - a whole collection of completely inadequate responses to acute mental health issues.
You're uttering mindless platitudes without anything to back it up. Look at how Trump, or Uber got their way. It certainly wasn't by taking the advice of people who disagree with them. And sure, they're hated, but they've proven that their tolerance for hate has more endurance than the hate people have to dish out on them. The 'extremist' cyclists paved the way for the more casual cyclists by not giving up.
Self-hosted Nextcloud instance + AWS for storage puts you somewhere around $10 to $20 per month depending on how much space you need. Just throwing it out there.

The sync client has worked flawelessly for me so far. Plus you get CalDAV/CardDAV right out of the box.

It’s a form of linguistic nihilism that comes up a lot during discussions about how “PC” things have become.

And so your first response to engage this is to immediately play political-word-association and tie this service up with the worst elements of the "PC" divide, because of how some other groups, not even involved in the discussion right now, deploy bad-faith debate tactics?

That doesn't seem at all any more helpful than whatever it is you're portending to have an issue with, at the core of a service like this.
What I am confused by is what they think will happen to revenue.

Step 1: "You can now use dropbox in fewer scenarios than before"
Step 2: ???
Step 3: More customers paying more money

Dropbox is paid for and used in various places I work and personally because of the Linux support. (Their competitors ignore Linux for some reason.) In my case step 2 is going to be them losing at least $1,000 in annual revenue. And they won't have that the next year either (ie recurring revenue). Nor will they be part of future options for work or personal.
Yep, I'm technically overweight even when I have a 6pack. 185 lbs at 6ft.

Ive been lifting for 6 years, and my lowest weight I get is 183lbs, after this I begin to starve and overeat due to how skinny I am.

I dont know the solution, but my doctor looked at me and knew I was healthy even though I was technically overweight.
It's a pretty good chunk of equity, but....

1k business users in 12 months seems pretty difficult - besides a good product you'll need marketing $$ or sales people to get you there - are they giving you any capital to get there?

You said they would be covering "initial expenses", but this sounds like you need to get your expenditures approved by the parent company, which seems not great.

If you're a technical person, this equity setup seems weird since you only have pretty indirect control of how well you can sell the product.

Given you're branching off from an existing startup and I assume taking their source code, will they be providing engineering support to help get people up to speed on the codebase, is there any expectation they will be kept in sync, will the new entity owe any royalties?

In the end, I think the question is: do you think the product/company is good? 5% of a great company is great, 5% of a shitty company is shitty. It sounds like the parent company basically doesn't know if this will work out or not and doesn't know the target country well, so it hoping you do.
I got from the post that one could, and probably should, perform the test using a real project, ideally the project for which one wants to hire the person being interviewed. Or, that one could use a plausible (and related) project or sub-project to similarly gauge the interviewee's response.
I've solved this very problem without reading the answer. If you understand dynamic programming, this is simply testing your skills in it (although I'd agree it may be too much for a short session).

Continuity? I mean, does Keybase have a business model yet? Or is it still "$bigshot_vc who is friends with the CEO believes a few crypto/security gambles are in order"?

Not meant critically, I love that they exist and found funding. It's just, as long as the model is "once the privacy shit hits the fan in some widely published scandal, we'll be the one that's ahead" there's only two outcomes: 1. It doesn't happen soon enough and Keybase runs out of runway, or 2. It happens, one of the many Keybase products becomes wildly popular because of it, and Keybase will ditch the others because "yada yada focus core business".
I am not sure what you mean by feral free market but what we have in US and EU doesn't look like that. There are tons of subsidies and regulations making a lot of things unprofitable to grow (cause you get cash for free when you grow junk food) and a lot of things unpractical (hard to have small simple farm when you have to comply with tons of laws just to ask eggs from a few hens you have).
This seems like a nice (and non aws-only) replacement for cloudcraft, thank you.

I wonder why both services limit their assets to only architecture-level components and provide people a generic library with assets for uml or other diagrams. I'd definitely be interested in a 3d alternative to eg lucidcharts.
I think there is another factor too- there are a lot more double income households than there have been in the past, which leaves less time for cooking, so people just eat out. People are also under a lot of stress due to lack of job security, more part time or gig work, weekend and evening work, etc, which leads to stress eating. Communities are fragmenting as people have to move every couple years to find new work, or as they substitute online relationships for real ones (who has the time?), which again leads to stress eating. No doubt everything in the article is a factor too, but we are undergoing wider cultural changes that you have to take into effect.

By the way, when I talk about "double income households" I'm not saying that women shouldn't be equal in the workforce, I'm saying that maybe men and women should both be working somewhat shorter hours so that they have time for their home lives.
A lot of people say they don't like Ryanair, but a lot of those people will use it again when the price is less than a quarter of that of other airlines.

It's actually a really interesting piece of psychology. Ryanair's service is so much worse in so many ways that I'm sure it's not better value for money. But even if you have to wake up at 4am to make it to an airport in the middle of nowhere to take a Ryanair flight to an airport 50 miles away from where you are actually going, it's still really tempting to pick the cheapest flight.
Yes noted. -- I commented first, then read the article, sorry!
And, worst, they use the 451 status when it's them who don't want to comply with a privacy protection law.

No, you'd want to bootstrap the process with some kind of machine learning to categorize humor and non-humor. It would have poor accuracy, no doubt, but it would be better than random generation.

I agree that it would be less efficient than in humans but with learning it might be able to converge on a set of strategies, possibly "cheats" that are likely to produce laughs.

C'mon, no shaming the 100 lbs bench press - I absolutely encourage someone whose benching 100 lbs to bench, because if they work hard pretty quickly it won't be 100 lbs any more.

And you raise an excellent point - is exercising the thing boosting the mood, or is the exercising the result of a mood boost.

Does anyone else find the jittery multicolored icon suspicious? It seems like it's begging to be used as a fingerprint to identify from which phone a video was recorded. It basically hides surveillance in plain site, and the fingerprint survives sharing/re-encoding.
And I think we should get rid of those counting machines as well.

Humans are perfectly capable of counting, and they don't mistake a half-filled bubble for "no vote", and aren't susceptible to changing 1% of votes at random or at the final tally. And it's not nearly as possible to trick or force hundreds or thousands of humans to help rig an election, compared to a handful of people at the final assembly line of that counting machine factory.

What the Heck, Google – Hackernoon
I personally find that exercise only contributes to good mental health outcomes when it is part of a system that monitors and directly, daily, addresses issues of physical exhaustion. Experiencing exhaustion and a desire to push through it was my personal #1 link to depression and anxiety. I found that just laying in bed and relaxing has a much higher likelihood of vanquishing my depression and anxiety than exercise ever did, and exercise, even a simple walk, can actually make the symptoms worse by contributing to the exhaustion.

This is _my own analysis and experience_, of course, so YMMV. There are additional important approaches to anxiety, like identifying stressors that need to be addressed (situations, goals, relationships, etc.) and attending to various facets that contribute to a feeling of purpose and promise. But after learning to look at my symptoms through the lens of "exhaustion" (whether it be productivity exhaustion or fitness-induced) I no longer suffer from chronic severe anxiety and depression, and my psychiatrist long ago pronounced me cured. Some people here may benefit so I share this in case it helps.

This is old vegetable-vs-animal proteins issue. Non-animal proteins don't contain all aminoacids for the human body to be able to absorb it. Only meat & diary products naturally do.

What you can do, and vegetarians/vegans have been doing, is to pair it with another plant product that is also non-complete, but has a different composition of these amino acids. Mixed together, they end up providing some sort of complete protein (meaning you have to know what to mix with what, in what ratio). Or just mix it with some animal protein.

That's why broccoli is dense with protein, but most if not all just goes through your body, depending what you consume it with.

This is my fitness-guy understanding, please correct me if it's incorrect.

Americans are fat because 1. Poor diet and eating too much 2. lack of exercise driven by car-dependence and sprawled out unwalkable car-centric cities. Commuting in a car 1 hour per day and sitting in an office for 8 hours doesn't exactly foster a healthy lifestyle unless one goes out of their way to be active (eg. gym), sacrificing their already sparse free time. This is part of the reason obesity is much lower in cities like NYC where people walk/bike to get around.
AFS works fine over a WAN. Sometimes a little slow on metadata operations.
Good point. The value in this one is the large size of the data set, but mental illness is hardly a uniform phenomenon, so if you fit the "mental illness" category it doesn't say much about how many people in their data set really overlap with you. And it can make a difference. High intensity exercise still can help many people with depression, but is often counterproductive for anxiety, where low-moderate intensity can be helpful.

Then why mention the 1st amendment?

In order to disseminate ideas widely authors have always been at the mercy of editors, publishers and distributors.

It's an impossible situation because if you force someone to publish something they find objectionable then you've stripped them of their own rights just so some arsehole can write shit about Jews/Muslims/Gays/Blacks/insert minority here.
No service is "unlimited". Its a marketing lie.

Why? Because there's always exceptions for 'abuse of service' and other exemptions.

The only time something is unlimited is if you do it yourself. Then you only have yourself to lean on.
