This is ridiculous at face value. Selling requires a buyer, but it is also true that buying requires a seller! Neither the seller nor the buyer has any kind of special power to affect market value that the other party lacks, in some symmetrical way. This should be pretty obvious if you're thinking about currency transactions (which we are) because in currency transactions neither party can really be identified as a "buyer" or "seller". Am I selling BTC? Or am I buying USD? Either statement is equally true.

> In the same way if all the buyer wants to pay is 50% of what the seller is quoting, and there are no other buyers around or they too want it for a 50% discount, 50% discounted price is what the price is.

Let's say I want to sell for $10 but you're the only "buyer" and you only want to pay $5.

You are saying that the actual price is $5... this is not true. There is no actual price, because there is no transaction. I am not a seller, because I haven't sold anything (I've only offered to sell). You're not a buyer, because you haven't bought anything (you've only offered to buy). The "bid price" is $5 and the "ask price" is $10. The "actual price" does not exist until there is an actual transaction.
You need more surface area not less.

I suppose a long tube might work, but that'd be a weird shape to work with.
> Sure, literaly it is a homophogic connocation, but in practice it is used just to show animosity to the goalkeeper. It does not mean that 5000 people believe the male goalkeeper preffers to have sexual relationships with other men... they don't care.

I don't understand how you can say that "puto" has a homophobic connotation but then say it's not homophobic. Your argument is the same as a child who thinks calling things they don't like "fucking gay" isn't really homophobic. Yes the thing they are calling "gay" may not have anything actually to do with homosexuality, but the practice of associating the word "gay" with negative things is homophobia.
Highway driving is indeed the easy case. But even if autonomous vehicles only ever worked on the highway, that would still be a world changing technology.

Irony, but thanks.
You're kidding, right? Two years ago I visited Germany and was able to find and buy train tickets with options including various connections of long-distance trains, local transit, and walking (with statable preferences on how much walking and waiting was allowable), which included connections in random cities as short as five minutes (but which worked!), store it all on my phone, and show it to a conductor, who took it all in stride. (Although some apologetically asked to see the credit card I'd used to buy it because the shitty US credit system hadn't caught up with European state of the art.)

It was a substantially better experience than I could get in most of the US at the time, although Amtrak has gotten better about not looking surprised when my ticket is on my phone, and some cities have moved in good directions there too.
There are other considerations beyond a simple cost per minute average here:

* Uptime guarantees - AWS goes down. Running your own hardware locally, you at least have a recourse.

* Storage and bandwidth - some of these datasets are huge and not amenable to streaming onto a temporary rental.

* Security - the ever-present bogeyman of cloud services. It might be harder to lock down your own machines, but it's the only way to fulfill some contractual requirements.

For commodity processing that doesn't involve these specialties, sure, fire away. That's what it's good at, and what most people need most of the time. But there's always a final TCO number and arriving at it requires accounting for all the risks.
Why doesn't the mechanic who fixes my Volvo have a vote in my choice on whether to replace the clutch or where to drive it this weekend? Because it's my Volvo, and my money I'm spending on it not his. He can choose to work for me or not, but can't reach in my wallet or choose a destination. Certainly he is a stakeholder in such decisions. But that doesn't make it his choice.

If a law is passed that gives my mechanic a vote on such things it would partially transfer the car's ownership from me to him, a redistribution of wealth. Whether you consider that to be justice or theft or both or neither, it isn't a great incentive for me to own a car or hire someone to fix it.
I am conflicted about the use of racism in this context. Accent varies by ethnicity and ethnicity is a proxy for race, so they are disadvantaged by their race. But if a student had a ta of the same race but no accent it would be fine. Or if the ta was white but had a bad accent the complaining would continue but it wouldn't be considered racism.
Braintree was acquired years before you started using them, so the PayPal-interference angle doesn't really play. The only thing surprising is that you're in the business of facilitating event ticket sales and weren't expecting and prepared for this. Pre-selling anything is very high risk for the underwriting bank, especially events: if the event is poorly planned or doesn't get put on, and the organizers have spent the money or disappeared, they can end up on the hook for hundreds to thousands of chargebacks. One failed event can take down a small payment processor, as their chargeback ratio will be decimated. It's pretty much guaranteed to take you out if you're letting them sell through you. The fact that you had other customers with events that went successfully in the past doesn't reduce the risk for the next guy's event. This situation was inevitable, and that will be the case no matter what processor you work with, as they're virtually all underwritten by the same dozen or fewer banks in the end... often the same two banks that underwrite PayPal's card processing. My advice: unless you can get to Eventbrite scale, vet event organizers well, and limit the size of events you sell tickets for, don't be an intermediary for event ticket sales. Make them bring their own payment accounts for any event where 100% of sales getting charged back would be more than 1% of your monthly volume.
Most of my projects now use babel indirectly and its been removed from all backend projects at work, sometimes replaced with typescript or vanilla es6.

Ex: anyone using facebook's jest, vue-cli, etc will get v7 whenever those packages upgrade.

The typescript support seems interesting for people with large babel pipelines, but I'm not sure what the other use cases are since it doesn't do any of the typechecking tsc does. Would be interested in hearing what people plan to use it for.

While I'm not going to condone those kinds of comments in the workforce or elsewhere, I'm not quite sure what the general justification is for putting "rape analogies" on such a pedestal compared to other major crimes.

Murder - "That went so badly, we just got slaughtered in that meeting"

Rape - "If we aren't careful the competition's going to rape us"

Theft - "We need to put in a plan to steal their customers ASAP"

What throws me is all of those are Big Bad Things, especially murder, but I don't feel like there would be anywhere nearly the same kind of pushback to anything except making a rape analogy. Maybe a slavery analogy would do it as well? People have gone through terrible experiences where someone they love has been murdered etc, so I'm not sure it's just about the level of trauma it can induce.
I like pandoc. I've been using Typora [1] for all of my writing, and it's decent, but a little slow.

That is actually precisely what we're aiming to solve! Give those who don't have the technical skills, a means to get the best result they can get, while letting them focus on the part that is important to them: the music selection.
Just like with any "crowdsourced" review site, I find value in the reviews, even if I don't, strictly, trust them.

Of particular value are multiple reviews that corroborate certain details, especially in the absence of reviews providing contradictory details.

At the very least, with something like "ghosting" during the interview process, it can help set expectations and inform behavior such as follow-up. For example, if interview reports complain of ghosting, I might still apply, but I wouldn't exert as much (if any) effort in soliciting a post-interview reply.
If you don't want to install Haskell and other dependencies, several folks have developed Docker images for using pandoc:

There isn't really any benefit to incorporating in both places. If you incorporate in the US and in EU, you will have to pay taxes in both places. Unless you are raising a round and a VC insists on incorporating in the US, it will not make sense to register in both places.

There are lots of benefits to registering in DE compared to some other states in the US, but I'm unsure of any benefits compared to incorporating in the region you are based out of.

I'd suggest talking to an attorney and learning more about this before incorporating. Jared Stark (http://starkbusinesslaw.com/) helped us incorporate and is really helpful

Given two people otherwise capable of doing the job, one you can easily communicate with, and one you cannot, which would you choose?
> labor organizers represent labor.

Unions claim to represent labor, but due to a confluence of laws, there's no guarantee that they actually do, as pointed out above. Even within a union, politics exists, and those who are influential and important are able to extract resources away from those who are viewed as dispensible.
Thoughts on focusing on sliding-scale financing instead of UBI? That is, the disadvantaged can finance businesses and arbitrage at cheaper rates than you and I can? Think of the successes of micro-finance. The point being that sliding financing incentivizes but does not eliminate risk. Because, no risk never reward.
I'd like to request a request for comments.
No. Any data exhibits random patterns, especially if you try too hard.

If you check for 10 patterns, each at the 95% significance level (p<0.05), there's a 40% chance of getting at least one false positive. Look for 20 patterns and that goes up to 60%.

That's why science requires you to formulate a hypothesis before running the experiment. And why finding a pattern through data analysis does not warrant a witch hunt.

The author posted up all his design files and has extensive documentation and instructions.

Resources for Entrepreneurs
I think that's pretty common. At least, I hope it is. I have been that person, and completely flamed out. Probably came across like I knew exactly nothing. I do well under routine job stress, tight deadlines, etc, and I have a great track record producing real results, but something about the interview process puts me on edge and stresses me in unique ways.

Fortunately I don't find myself in that style of interview anymore. The guy interviewing me already knows I can code, so all we are really trying to see if there is a culture fit. My preferred interview location is over beer.
And Sullivan was wrong. Take a read of the “Veracity” section of that article.
I've had projects where I've been able to understand everyone just fine, but the non-native speakers who were from different countries couldn't understand each other. Luckily, it was a minor inconvenience that all of us could easily handle, but I could see this being a valid reason in some circumstances (e.g. jobs that require a lot of time spent on the phone)
Would you say the same thing if it were the N-word? Of course not. Because you have misogynistic biases that make you more accepting of rape jokes. That doesn't mean rape jokes are better, it just means they are more tolerated.
Yeah I don't really buy the retail argument for IOT, but for large organizations it can make a ton of sense. I previously worked for a company [0] that did remote sensors for water meters - they saved a fortune on sending out technicians to read the meter, and avoided all the problems with usage estimations.

Cyrillic is the writing system Russian uses, English is one of the many using the Latin system.

I'm not seeing an anti-Russian slant here. The criticism is tame for an article on nuclear power, and they'd likely have the same concerns if this was a US project.

This is objectively not true, because the median American worker has a higher disposable income than the median worker in most of Europe, including Germany.

This means that, even after paying for health insurance and out of pocket expenses, etc., Americans have higher purchasing power. The gap is even larger when you look at tech workers, because they're paid particularly well in the US compared to the general public.
Fish and oh-my-fish is also great. I like it more than oh-my-zsh because it requires less configuration
Engineers will move around. You can't lock up knowledge that's in people's heads, and the basic concepts will get implemented everywhere even if they have to find different specific approaches to avoid encroaching on patents.
Then my goal, ostensibly, is to find a large company with interviewer(s) that are like and sound like me. Instead of trying to blend in, I will try the other approach. Try to find my "soul company" within the major big companies, so I don't need to artificialize myself. There are many big companies to choose from so it's very likely I just haven't found one who has a lot of people like me.
Is Moore's Law DOA?
Most compilers use not one internal IR, but rather a successive series of IRs. LLVM itself has its normal IR layer, plus a machine IR layer for actually generating code for targets. Plus another layer (two actually, you can pick which one you want) for going between LLVM IR to machine IR. Most programming language frontends have their own IR (or two) that they use in between the AST and something like LLVM IR.

The genius of LLVM is that it's a stable, well-defined IR layer in the middle of the compilation stack that lets you switch out either the frontend or the backend without having to do the entire messy, boring, critical implementation of the other piece. And you can support pretty wacky frontend languages or pretty wacky backends (people compile LLVM to C source or FPGAs, for example).
Powering up the full AVX-512 datapath supposedly takes something like 500 microseconds, and then slows the clock speed for something like 2000 microseconds. If so, you could literally just make every AVX-512 instruction fault when the units are powered down, let the operating system (after an appropriate fence) explicitly authorize powering up the AVX-512 datapath, and have no noticeable performance degradation relative to these enormous costs. And once the units are powered up, there is no side channel problem.
I think that individuals might have more likely personally survived the trauma of rape. So it more likely going to be an asshole thing to say.

It'd be like, "We're gonna smash the competition so hard they have PTSD." to room where 30% are Iraqi war vets likely insulting to some of them.
"After leveling for a bit, you'd eventually drop down to gaining half of the experience that you'd normally gain. Players absolutely hated it. So Pardo flipped it around. The early, enhanced leveling was framed as the player gaining bonus experience, while the non-rested state was framed as normal, making players were much happier."

Love it.
Do Word’s native diff features not work for you?
I wouldn't, personally, characterize those comments as "discussing" how the NSA is doing those things, so much as their authors throwing up their hands, and being all, "WELP!" about that behavior. "Nothing can be done! They're EEEEEVIL! If you think otherwise, then you're dumb too."

What kind of discussion is a comment like that likely to engender? Generally not very substantive, in my experience, and I've been (IMO rightly) asked by the moderators not to engage in that style of shallow discourse, despite one of my comments to that effect being among my highest-voted ever.

Popularity and/or accuracy don't entail depth, and there's a pretty clear bias on HN towards encouraging the latter.
Wouldn't that rely on the workers having enough money in the first place to do that? Ignoring the issue of non-public companies.
> have collectively agreed not to support parts of the C++ standard.

Those parts were ripped out of the standard. (The big one is export templates, where the expert compiler implementers when asked for feedback about how to implement it said "don't").
> My theory of why tech salaries are higher in the US: the US, public and private, borrows trillions of dollars. It consumes more than it produces. Wages are higher. And so are imports and immigration. It's all a consequence of the borrowing. If the US stopped borrowing so much and stopped inflating bubbles and re-inflating them after they collapse, consumption, wages, imports and immigration would fall.

Just so everyone is clear, this is a heterodox (fringe) theory that is not accepted by economists, mostly because it flies in the face of both macroeconomic theory and empirical research.
I said "not speculatively executing AVX-512 instructions _when the units are powered down_".
I applied for a job at Riot Games a few years back, after I came out of hospital following my appendix bursting. I was still in pretty bad shape, and my initial phone interview went poorly, mostly due to the fact that I couldn't breathe properly as a result of a partially collapsed lung. The hiring guy was particularly pushy, and didn't really take no for an answer, encouraging me to take the phone interview anyway. That's when I decided not to bother. Probably blacklisted from ever working there in future, but having read this article, I know I definitely won't be wanting to anyway.
I've never played anything by Riot Games, but based on this article, I think I'm going to start.
For the same reason you shouldn't casually joke about the Holocaust, it's a HIGHLY emotional/sensitive topic. It's easy for guys to joke about it, but for women it's an all too real threat they have to constantly worry about.
> This is the worst sort of ageism. In my professional experience there is no correlation between youth and fresh ideas.

Look into politics, no matter the country, or any big corporation - it is usually an old-white-men club (exceptions confirm the rule). And they are hell-bent on keeping the situation so that they benefit, and the younger generations suffer for it.

The social contract was that at reaching ~65 (here in Germany) years, you retire, and someone younger rises to your position. The current situation with people working way past their 80s, either due to stubbornness (rich old white men) or due to economic need (poor old people, PoC), breaks that contract, and young people are locked into lower-paying positions because they cannot rise up.

To provide my claims with data: average age of DAX company boardmembers is 61, with some companies at 70 (!!) [1], only 7% of CxO posts are held by women [2]. In addition, the government commission "Deutscher Corporate Governance Kodex" actually has literally asked for "fresh blood" in boards [1].

You can use OPT, but would suggest not to so so because it will have implications on how long you can stay in the US after graduating. CPT is another option if your college allows you to use it. Post-graduation, OPT, H1-B, B1/B2 and O1 are all viable options of varying difficulty
Yep. Getting full performance out of LRB meant you couldn’t be messing about with long scalar sequences—you had to interleave them with the vector unit. We had a fearsome time convincing the ICC bros that their backend was starving the vector core by refusing to interleave scalar & vector ops. We ended up writing our own backend.
