That is a very simple variation of pump and dump scheme. Basically, the same old pump and dump, but the "pump" and "dump" are split, and are done in different countries:

1. A rich guy in China goes and makes a back room deal with a new wiz kid on the block with a promise to prop up his hot startup, thus initiating a "pump" part in a pump and dump. Usually the capital is injected through legal shells and one day funds to obscure the origin.

2. PR companies are hired to hype up the co as the next big thing since sliced bread

3. More back room deals are made with institutional players, to have them add more seemed legitimacy to the operation: investment funds, big name underwriters, 3rd tier American VCs, all kinds of other big name boys.

4. Then, a complex shell structure - VIE is built around the company in an offshore heaven country. That is to give the co. a material constitution outside of China's legal reach.

5. The co. goes for IPO in USA

6. The original Chinese rich guy dumps his stock of a VIE in USA, cash gets sent to his US account, completing the "dump" part of the scheme. Whatever happens next with the company, does no longer matter.

It's absurd to cast defaulting on one's mortgage as a moral failure. A mortgage is a business contract; a non-recourse mortgage is essentially a put option on a house. Mailing in your keys if the mortgage is underwater is no more of a moral failure than exercising a put opinion is.

Amusingly, such morality fables often get pushed by business leaders who understand the concept of strategic default perfectly well in their own dealings. You don't see former Lehmann executives working night shifts at McDonalds to make THEIR creditors whole.

The comment is wrong for C, but could be right for C++. The data structures in STL are all implemented as red-black trees. They can't be rewritten as B-trees because of some iterator/synchronization/backwards compatibility mess.

I once did a similar benchmark to the one in the article and found that Rust outperformed C++ because the C++ code was using the builtin std::map. But for reeeeeeally big datasets PostgreSQL beats them both so who cares. :p

> None of the modifications done through the dataset api would reflect in the DOM and be readable by CSS unless you were to convert the list to a space separated string and explicitly set the attribute.

I'm really not sure what you mean by this. If you set the data attribute any of these ways, it can be targeted in CSS with [data-demo="example"]:

el.dataset.demo = 'example'
el.dataset['demo'] = 'example'
el.setAttribute('demo', 'example')

CSS doesn't require a space separated anything. When you use an attribute selector in CSS it treats the entire value as a string, spaces included. But it's not classes versus attribute selectors, as class is an attribute, and therefore also something you can select with attribute selectors.

Also, think about the asymmetry between CSS and HTML when considering saving characters, one CSS selector targets ∞ tags, so I'd rather write slightly longer selector one time, than need to use a much longer 'namespaced' value on each element where I want the style to apply. That's leveraging what CSS does best!

Take a look at Knewton Alta[1] as an alternative to MyMathLab. It uses OER content and is aimed at being very affordable - $44 for 2 year access or $9.95 a month (cancel anytime, which is great for those 6 week summer classes).

We have courses available in Math, Econ, Chemistry, and more on the way.

The biggest change Knewton champions is mastery based learning by using adaptivity and just-in-time remediation. By encouraging students to reach mastery throughout the course, they learn more and do better on tests and assessments. We offer comprehensive analytics for instructors and administrators to identify struggling students for offline intervention.

Many students love it for homework because they can get questions wrong, get remediation in the assignment, learn the material and still get a 100% on their homework.

Disclaimer: I work for Knewton.

You are correct, but in this world I'm choosing a SINGLE third party to host ALL of my data. There's no distribution of risk, my data portfolio is undiversified, etc. They get hit, its all over.

In fairness, I guess I could have a bunch of pods like financial, social, pictures... or even a pod for each service: facebook_pod, bank1_pod, etc...and host them all with different third parties to try to minimize risk. But this gets incredibly cumbersome.
As others have noted, yes.

You may want to install the VMware add-ons via HaikuDepot after installation:

1. Applications > HaikuDepot

2. Tools > Refresh repositories

3. uncheck "Show only featured packages"

4. search for or scroll down to "VMware add-ons"

For access to shared folders, use christiaan's suggestion found in the Ratings tab (instead of the instructions found in the About tab):

-> mkdir /boot/home/VMware
-> mount -t vmwfs -o localhost/Volumes/VMware /boot/home/VMware
0. Look at a few simple sql queries (at most one join) and the corresponding schema. Internalise what the queries do and a rough idea as to the syntax

1. Have a database to query (or think of some project that is basically a frontend on a database and which you can give a reasonable amount of data)

2. Come up with questions for the database you want to answer

3. Look at the SQLite documentation. They have fantastic diagrams for the syntax of a sql query.

4. Write down the sql for your query (or work out what you can’t express and see if you can search on the internet to find out how to express it)

5. Look into relational algebra and try to work out how it corresponds to sql databases.

6. Repeat steps 2-4

7. Understand what different types of joins there are

8. Repeat steps 2-4

9. Read about more exotic things like nested queries, window functions, recursive queries, and so on (just look at the features of your database of choice and see what you can learn about). These might come in handy for future questions

10. Repeat steps 2-4 (repeatedly)

If you don’t know which database to use then start with SQLite. It’s basically fine for anything simple and manything complicated.
The environment has changed significantly, yes. However, I don't agree that it has changed in ways that make pro-social behavior maladaptive.
let me start with sharing a link to my instagram where I've been recording and sharing some penmanship study notes. It's a little nerdy, but I think there oughta be lots more video resources :)
https://www.instagram.com/theksop

As for good books, oh so many. Please dont discount the value of a book because it's in public domain or because they've been written a while ago.My taste generally favors american penmanship derivations and as such prefer engrosser's script over styles grouped under copperplate. Copperplate are styles that derive from English Round hand. Engrosser's script evolved from copperplate but did so in a time of the steel nib which allowed more nuanced curves. Engrosser's script has a very definitive guide from the Zanerian college that is clear, concise and has great exemplars. So my recommendation is - The Zanerian Manual. There is a copy in archive.org but David Grimes recently scanned a high def version of it on his website https://masgrimes.com/archive . Beauty of a book. I refer to very often.

You didn't ask but some good material suggestions with KISS in mind - get a good (not speedball) oblique holder, McCaffery's Iron gall Ink, a rhodia book and a bunch of Leonardt Principal nibs because you'll go through them a lot. Just like programming, once you get the fundamentals right, you can handle anything that whimsies you.

I have a particular fondness for the Spencerian family and as such regard the "New Spencerian Compendium" as a definite recommendation. It was done by Papa Spencer's sons(including a genius penman Lyman Spencer) and has some well written teaching material and theory on styles that have spring from the Spencerian family. While on this topic, I'd like to recommend a book from the Zanerian college about one of my favorite penmen - Louis Madarasz. It's called - The secret of the skill of Louie Madarasz.

All of these books are freely available as pdfs on archive.org . Also you should visit iampeth.org at some point - an organization that has spent lots of resources to dig up and preserve the beauty that was the golden age of American Penmanship. So many good helpful notes on that website.

I wouldn't mind offering personalized advice or more book recommendations. Feel free to DM me on instagram.

They tried buying BeOS, but the BeOS people absolutely refused to sell out to a company like Apple. NeXT was their second choice, and they succeeded in buying it (NeXTSTEP became Mac OS X).
It seems like a bad example, though. Most of the neighborhoods around here with that sort of pricing for that size house didn’t drop much, if any, during the real estate crash. It felt like a very distant problem here.

I lived in a similarly-priced neighborhood less than 30 minutes away during that time period. Houses continued to sell normally throughout, though sometimes they were on the market a little longer than they would’ve been previously. Prices continued to go up.

My point isn’t to say Swift is bad. I personally don’t like it, but that isn’t the point. In my original comment, I wanted to say that rewriting software just because of a new language is probably a bad idea.

Apple could have continued using the existing software, rather than just throw away stable code for the sake of new devs to use a new language.
I have degrees in Math (PhD), CS(MS), and Engineering(BS). I find wonderful interactions between all three.

My career is a bit mixed up: Taught Math at a college (part time on and off for 10 years), Meteorologist (only 2 years), Nuclear Engineer (only 2 years), Systems Engineering (7 years), Hedge Funds (15 years). I did a lot of ML/AI (20 years) mostly for Trading Stocks, Poker, Torpedos, and Satellites. I wrote about 100,000 lines of C++ and about 10,000 lines for each of the following: BASIC, Mathematica, Matlab, and Haskell.

Math is an integral a part of my life and my thinking. :)

Learning how to smile. I would spend time in front of the mirror practicing my smile for different situations.

During interviews I would force myself to smile. It helped get rid of some nervousness. When I get stuck on a problem I would smile stupidly and usually the interviewer would help me out.

When I feel like conversations are getting heated I would take a step back and smile, it helps me direct the conversion to a more positive place.

Sometimes when stuff happens outside my control and life just sucks I'll force myself to smile and handle things to the best of my ability
The way to determine this is by measuring actual performance.

With more information, like why or how they got an MS, the probability distribution changes. My impression is, there's a set of dimwits from a dimwit part of the industry that decide they should get a Master's in order to better their career. As opposed to, say, getting one right after school because you didn't want to enter the real world, or because a 5-year MS seemed like a good idea, or being brainwashed in general about the value of formal schooling.

I don't think I would have found these articles with googling, since I didn't recall the term "predatory pricing." They don't really support your original claim, either -- "It's illegal to lowball prices to cost or below."

From the first:

> Predatory pricing, also known as undercutting, is a pricing strategy in which a product or service is set at a very low price with the intention to achieve new customers (Loss leader), or driving competitors out of the market or to create barriers to entry for potential new competitors.

> ...

> However, it can be difficult to prove that prices dropped because of deliberate predatory pricing, rather than legitimate price competition.

I wonder how often predatory pricing has been prosecuted?

> Predatory pricing practices may result in antitrust claims of monopolization or attempts to monopolize. Businesses with dominant or substantial market shares are more vulnerable to antitrust claims. However, because the antitrust laws are ultimately intended to benefit consumers, and discounting results in at least short-term net benefit to consumers, the U.S. Supreme Court has set high hurdles to antitrust claims based on a predatory pricing theory.

> ...

> In addition, the Court established that for prices to be predatory, they must be below the seller's cost.

I.e., below cost pricing is necessary, but not sufficient.

The second is just a generic article and doesn't mention low prices in particular or US law in any way.

Here's a better source: https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/competition-guidance/guide-a...

> Can prices ever be "too low?" The short answer is yes, but not very often.

Personally, I like the gentle introduction given on W3Schools. It shows you what you have and what you aim to get out of it in terms of data, and removes the need to bother with a local setup, letting you focus on the actual queries instead.

I like the spirit of this, but expecting average internet users to buy fancy hard-drives to store their data for apps that don't exist yet, simply to be free of the cloud, is way optimistic.

Also, having a Solid pod does not prevent the worst kinds of personal data abuse, such as identity tracking and brokering of tracked data. I don't care that Facebook stores my photos, but I do care that they've built a profile around the contents of them.
> You’ll need vastly expanded radar coverage to detect drones flying too high to be detected by camera.

I’d actually argue it’s not possible with current radar tech. The radar signature of most consumer drones is so small that if you had radar tuned to that size, you’d be getting false positives all the time. Even in the bigger drones, there’s still a very small radar signature too. I’ve not tested it, but even my 6’ wide dual octocopter likely wouldn’t even be identified on radar.

In Rust the compiler tells you if you are doing it wrong. I see lots of complaints about this "complexity" but it's always identifying actual problems. It's also an order of magnitude less complex than C++.
C#'s implementation is much more impressive, through the reflection libraries, doesn't require unsafe code, is not a hidden implementation deal, and has a much cleaner interface. Also look into expressions and the awesome things you can do with the framework. Yeah yeah blah blah Microsoft, but that was the company of the past. New leadership has been focused on better things, open sourcing the Roslyn compiler and dotnet core. The c# of 2018 is a brand new beast
The reason the Go developers cited is fast compile times, as well as the belief that LLVM is "too big". I don't agree with these: LLVM compile times are fine for ahead-of-time compilation, and LLVM is big because it does important things.

I do have mixed feelings about LLVM for safe GC'd languages, though. LLVM is full of undefined behavior, and its support for precise moving tracing GC is not widely used. So I can definitely sympathize with not wanting to use LLVM for Go, but not for the reasons they cited.

Mebendazole didn't use to be so expensive in the US. This is another Martin Shkreli type situation.

In the United States a single dose was about 18 USD in 2015.[3] In 2016 the price increased to 440.00 USD per dose in the U.S. as Amedra Pharmaceuticals acquired the rights from Teva in 2013.[8] In 2010, Amedra also bought the U.S. Marketing rights to the only other interchangeable anti-parasitic medication, albendazole, from GSK. The result of these acquisitions created a monopoly these medications and the price increased dramatically.[18]

Ask HN: Does anyone else keep their own knowledge wiki?
I've been extending and improving [my personal wiki](https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge) for 1 year now and it has been one of the best things I've done. I found writing blog posts was too high friction and very often didn't finish things because there is so much you can talk about in any given article. But a wiki is just a living document containing your notes and thoughts on things. I also use it as my public bookmark manager as I collect interesting to me links under each topic.

For my wiki, I [render everything to the web](https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz) first with GitBook. And I have a macro I run that automatically commits any changes I've made with Sublime Text on the mac and Ulysses on the phone so everything is super easy to edit and publish.

Does anyone else keep their own wiki here? Or you think a blog is enough for you?
I don't get it...

What is a pod and what's so great about it? Something about controlling your data... Storage space... Secure USB stick for the web? So I can mount it and add/remove files from it? Like dropbox or something?

I clicked "Get a solid pod" and it asked me to register, which I did, after which it dumped me into some kind of "home page". Clicking "get started with solid and data browser" brings up instructions for creating notes and calendars and text files in a very primitive interface. There's no link to get back to the "home page" and the back button doesn't work because it's force-forwarding from an interim url.

So is it like a primitive owncloud? What's it supposed to do that's valuable? What am I even looking at?
> I’ve found a few open textbooks in math that are very well done.

Do you have links?
> I am constantly frustrated by Google straight up ignoring my most important search terms.

However, on Google you do get an identifier next to the result that shows whether your term is missing from the page or not which allows for weeding out "unrelated" results relatively quickly. It also has the "must include" link so that you can narrow your searches without having to retype the query.

Doing the same search on DDG just shows some results but it's not clear whether my specific terms are on the page or not.
