The term carry trade, without further modification, refers to currency carry trade: investors borrow low-yielding currencies and lend (invest in) high-yielding currencies. It is thought to correlate with global financial and exchange rate stability and retracts in use during global liquidity shortages,[3] but the carry trade is often blamed for rapid currency value collapse and appreciation.

The problem of running TCP over Anycast addressing tends to be overblown. Cloudflare, for example, does all of their client-facing HTTP traffic over Anycast and so you can consider that as existence proof for it being a viable strategy. Routes simply don't seem to shift all that frequently in practice.
unfortunately it also trips up my bullshit sensor.

Deriving meaning from what others deem meaningless could be profound in itself?
Notably, it's unusually hard in that actual practice on humans is still a necessity since there aren't good enough training analogues to substitute for real cases, so even if you managed to scale the basic training it's still an unsolved problem to scale up the number of doctors rapidly in safe way.

E.g. you can't just educate 10x as many heart surgeons without actually having 10x as many cases for them to scrub in on that you have experienced heart surgeons to lead on unless you're prepared to kill a lot of people in the process.
> lean heavily toward group collaboration as a sort of security blanket

This happens and fosters groupthink and prevents critical thinking and creativity.

When a whole team (or company) comes up with a poorly designed product this is often the reason.

You can fight this by talking about the problem, encouraging constructive criticism, engaging with communities and other social groups, gathering anonymous feedback from other teams.

> Despite bullshit-receptivity and profoundness-receptivity being positively correlated with each other, logistic regression analyses showed that profoundness-receptivity had a positive association whereas bullshit-receptivity had a negative association with both types of prosocial behavior.

Not surprising. People incapable of differentiating objectivity from self-satisfying statements are less likely predict anything objectively.

Whereas...

> The results suggest that people who are better at distinguishing the pseudo-profound from the actually profound are more prosocial.

People who are objective are better able to analyze social contexts.

I further suspect objective people are already aware of this and self-satisfying people are not aware there is any difference.

Ask HN: I cutted short an informal Google interview. Feedback wanted
I have just been contacted by a Google recruiter for a position in the generic software engineering track of Google Zurich offices. At my current company I am a manager with a strong technical background. I am covering a role that is something in between a product manager and a technical architect. I still contribute code but only on the most challenging parts of the applications and mostly to kick-off and train the team on things they are less knowledgeable about. My resume is very clear about this and I made it clear even during the interview. The position in Google is for an individual contributor and when I told the recruiter that I would be willing to go back to an individual contributor role only in the case of something that was "outstanding" and that would allow me to grow and learn new things the recruiter probably interpreted this as a way of cutting short the interview. The interview ended two minutes later. I am in conflict because Google is Google and because probably the salary would have been between 2/3 times what I am earning now. At the same time I believe that going back to a mere role of "anonymous" individual contributor would have been a great step back. Did I do the right thing in your opinion? Please only constructive and honest feedback.
P.S: I am 40-something.

Diesel is dying in Europe because you can’t enter a lot of cities in an older diesel car. In a few years it’ll be any diesel car.

Green tech is a universal political point in Europe, at least north, Western Europe, and car companies aren’t stupid. It takes time to alter production, but they are getting there, as demands keep increasing.

In Norway half the cars sold are electric. I personally own a petrol car, but I doubt I’ll replace it with a fossil.
Thats one beauty of a proper electric truck: you can operate all the power equipment off the electric.

You don't run untrusted code at all? I'd be very interested in hearing how you establish trust in all the code running on your system, as that seems quite a difficult task for most modern Operating system/application stacks.
Well, they are now an established business, the growth of US startups has dwindled. So what do you expect?

I dont really need the study. I stay here and experience this on a daily basis. There is nothing in the study which contradicts what I said.

If everyone who comes up with the same translation ends up with the same answer, then presumably that mening was actually there.

I would only write unit tests for very complex classes whose logic cannot be simplified into something readable.
Personally, I rarely introduce bugs at the unit level, almost 100% of my bugs are related to how classes/functions interact with each other - I find that bugs at the unit level are easy to track down (and often they will be caught by integration tests anyway).
I prefer integration tests because they traverse more code paths and don't need to be updated so often.
The main complaints I hear about integration tests is that they're slow and brittle but this is only the case if they rely on external microservices (or external data stores) and if test cases aren't properly isolated from each other. I use integration test cases as part of my development flow.

In my experience it is rarely enough to just "lead" more thoughtfully, which seems to be what the author here is promoting. Software development does not just require servant leaders in the helping sense, but in the working sense. The best leaders in software and technical domains are also those who can write (either code or ideas) better than anyone else. They have the power to move the project forward on their own, and working with them lightens the effort for everyone. Those who also adopt the ideas in this essay do foster the sensation among those they lead that they were never led at all, and rather achieved their common objectives together.

I don't find that to be true. It's a good way of keeping code quality in check, which has an indirectly positive effect on catching defects (as well as a number of other positive effects), but it's not a good way of catching defects itself.

Are you reading them in their original language, or a translation?
I just read the plaintiff's complaint, here's my summary (IANAL):

- Match gave Tinder founders Tinder stock options, ~20% of Tinder's total worth.

- Since Tinder is private, Tinder founders could only sell options to Match. Match would then have to pay 20% of Tinder's 'Worth' to the founders.

- The founders could only sell at specific points in time, called "scheduled puts".

- Since Tinder is private, 'Worth' is not easy to objectively determine. They have to bring in an external party, give the party information on how the company is doing, and the external party then gives an estimate of valuation.

Obviously, Match has an incentive for valuation to be as low as possible. Tinder founders have the opposite incentive. thus,

- Valuation was agreed to be supervised by Tinder, to prevent Match interfering.

So Tinder founders alledge:

- Match removed some Tinder higher-ups and replaced them with their own loyal people.

- They then had the loyal higher-ups systematically devalue the company (give pessimistic outlooks, earning forcasts, etc) right before a Scheduled put, to influence the third party into estimating as low a valuation as possible

- Once the third party estimated a value of $3 billion, they merged Tinder into match. Since Tinder didn't exist anymore, the Tinder options transformed into $3 billion's worth of Match options.

At this point, any crazy future growth in Tinder would not directly translate into crazy growth in the payout Match has to give to the Founders if the cash out.

Essentially, beforehand the founders were holding on to X billion dollars of options, set to increase proportionally to Tinder's value. After Match's 'scheming' they found themselves holding on to $3 billion of Match options, no longer set to increase proportionally to Tinder's value, but to Match's value.

The founders argue that X > 3, and Tinder's value is set to increase much more than Match in the future, that Match also knows this and cheated for that purpose.

-----

Extra details are included, such as the fact that Match stood behind one if it's 'infiltrated' loyalists when he was accused of sexual misconduct, just long enough for him to execute the low valuation, then had him fired with a golden parachute. The defendants claim this is further proof that there was intentional foul play at hand.
I love working at a startup, there is simply no cap on number of hours i can work.

I can meet any other employee without any appointment.

I can try my hands on accounting and legals. Go meet customers and give them the demo when i don't feel like working.

I can collect cash from customers, take a photo of the cash and send it to boss where he sends me a thumbs up emoji.

I often bring kids of my boss or colleagues from their school or drop their wifes to hospital when they are sick or if their want to go to shopping when her guy is debugging the server.

I don't have any family of my own other than a girlfriend. Doing all these things for others give me peace and makes me feel as if i am part of their family.

For an orphan kid, this is all i wanted.

I've helped my collegues mop whole floor when it's their turn in their apartment building.

I don't know if i can get all this in a big company.

After this i got 10% equality in a small company. Post sale where i made 15 million and gave 10 to my girlfriend for her support. I still work there and enjoy everyday.

You need to see where i started when i had nothing, zero saving..... No family.

Today, I've everything and I can't complain.
