One of the biggest misconceptions about markets is that the most recent trade price is the current value. But that's not actually true – it's approximately true in heavily traded markets (like S&P 500 stocks). But for a much less frequently traded market (like brownstones in Park Slope, Brooklyn or apartments in downtown Minneapolis) where there are only a handful of transactions each week, the price doesn't actually reflect value. It reflects the most recent price paid – and if there aren't a lot of buyers, then the actual value is lower than that price.

Most people who have done a lot of options trading have seen this in practice: if you're trying to sell a really thinly traded option RIGHT NOW, most of the time the latest price is a higher than the price you'll get. That's because there was only one buyer at the time, and someone else got that person's bid. So now you'll have to go to the next-most-interested buyer, and you'll probably need to lower your asking price a bit because otherwise he or she would have been the most recent buyer.

All of this is masked in heavily traded markets. But it's a lot more apparent in housing. However, that's complicated by the fact that people REALLY HATE lowering their asking price, so instead of seeing prices drop, housing markets typically just see volume go down. And recent lower transaction prices are often dismissed by sellers ("That person was just desperate to sell, I'm going to wait for someone to pay what my house is worth").

Do you have any kind of a feel (from direct observations, or hearing through the grapevine) for how much more effective going in with an explicit, conscious intent to meditate on a particular topic or problem is, versus going in with no specific intent but rather to just "catch a glimpse into the delightful madness that is beyond self"?

Of course, there's no way of doing a direct comparison, but curious if you have a feel or opinion on it, or might know of anyone who writes on that topic.

Well, for P/E ratio, we have a century or more of solid data. We also have a plausible reason why it might be a measure of how overvalued stocks are. For napkins in the company cafeteria, not so much (by either measure).

The case against the P/E ratio boils down to "this time it's different". That can in fact be true... once in a while. Not nearly as often as it's claimed, though.

That doesn't mean that P/E is absolutely correct - just that it's somewhat better than random noise.
I believe Anker is American, though obviously manufactured in Asia (which is true about most American brands).

I think part of the issue is that one of the consequences of killing tons of trees is creating a lot of dry, dead, flamable wood. So the weakest trees get killed off by the beatles, but then all the nearby trees are killed in the resulting forest fire, which hurts the evolution argument a little.

On the other hand, part of the reason that this kind of thing is so bad is that we fight forest fires so aggressively. In the historic past, as trees are killed off en-masse by the beatles, a forest fire would ravage the area, decimating the beatles population. Because these fires aren't allowed to go unchecked anymore, the beetle population can continue to grow.
> The ABA actually endorsed him

All I can find on the ABA's position on Kavanaugh is that they called for an investigation, and that they're reevaluating their position on him given his temperament.

> I'm not a democrat or a republican by the way

I got that, and neither am I. But that's neither here nor there. What matters is what type of media you allow in your day to day life. You seem to have allowed some pretty wonky stuff in, if you're calling this "a democrat hatchet job from the day he was nominated". There was little pushback on him until the allegations came up, other than the usual political card "hey, midterms soon, we should wait".

It's .. the way you talk. It's unsettling. Cultish. I don't know how to phrase this without sounding condescending, sorry... just imagine the way you feel when someone tells you about how great their cult is, and how everyone else has it wrong. Think like, Multi Level Marketing sort of unsettling.

It's not only Twitter or politics. I've been playing some Heroes of the Storm as team building with my company and when we are not a full team the toxicity can get intense, with some people going far beyond just in match flaming to harassing with death and rape threats in direct messages long after the match is over.

Mind you this in a no-stakes free to play game and the phenomenon seems common. Sometimes I think our culture is not ready for a substantial part of our communication not to be face to face.
People being “reassigned” sex at birth is unfortunately far more common than it should be. People are born with “ambiguous genitalia” or a penis that is “too small” or a clitoris that is “too big”, an operation is performed without their consent or later knowledge, and then they suffer for the rest of their lives because doctors thought (secretly and deceptively!) upholding a strictly normative sex binary is their job and not letting people live their lives happily as they are.
The fact that cursory examination finds the attack is not only entirely feasible, and completely undefended against, but that the hardware shown in the Bloomberg animation is precisely the hardware which would be required to pull off the attack is quite astonishing.

Whose “law” is it that the closer you are to an event the more you can see that the reporting on the event is desperately flawed? This has almost always been my own personal experience.

To have the article hit the nail on the head with a entirely plausible attack means one of two things;

1) This is exactly what happened

2) A nation state wanted us to think this is exactly what happened.

Either way the NSA is involved. The people on the ground who knew it happened would have to be NSL’d from telling their superiors that it happened, so they leaked it.

Perhaps the denials from above are entirely sincere because the people who discovered it can’t pass it up the chain.

The only thing I’m having trouble with is that would have required either a low-level plant to have discovered it and someone else at a low-level found out and was sworn to secrecy, or a middle-manager plant intercepted the message as it went up the line.

The alternative, that this is a false flag, is pretty fascinating in its own right. TAO would have had to conceptualize the attack vector, and then someone planted the story.

Perhaps this is equally likely. In fact, this is actually an attack I assume TAO is using in the field, which would burn this attack vector presumably because they have an even better one.

Even more interesting, the idea TAO was actively using this attack vector, saw evidence in the field their attack was discovered (devices going dark) and so preemptively planted a story to blame the opposition before they accused the US of the same thing.
Depending on what you did, you can go to jail for cheating on your taxes in the US too. Which is as it should be -- if the penalty is just that you have to pay what you owed then the expected value of fraud is positive and it's only logical to just always cheat and then only pay when you get caught.

Hello, HN!

We've been working on OneBar since spring, and ran it for about three months in a few companies. We're now ready to show it to the broader world! (it's still in beta though ;) )

A few things OneBar can do for your team:

- Store Q&As (just like Quora or StackOverflow)

- Search the KB right from Slack (via a bot)

- Source questions from Slack, and assign them to team members

- Save Slack threads as Q&A

- Automatically cross-link content

Here's one particular thing that worked well during the test: https://blog.onebar.io/crowdsource-your-companys-glossary-in...

We would highly appreciate HNs feedback on OneBar. Thanks in advance for checking it out!

Not just tiny – any place where you don't want work to be rate-limited by the time it takes to get a body in front of a server. The only scale where it's not a big win is when you're so large that you have rock-solid auto-recovery in your software stack and hardware failures are handled by disabling a server and leaving it in the rack until it's periodically reaped at a regular interval.

Most businesses are in that gap – definitely not tiny, but definitely not able to just ignore remote management – especially if they have lots of physical locations and it's not practical to have 24x7 IT staffing at every branch office.

You conveniently left out the part just after what you quoted that said: "If the CEO wants to change anything because of that is entirely up to him/her [...]"

I didn't say—nor did I mean to imply—that anyone should "change their way of life", "dictate what religion some one[sic] should practice" or "wanting to control other people's life". I said, and I very literally meant, "they should be free to ask about it and voice their opinions". That's how we discuss things and gain insight into how other people think and feel about stuff.

If my boss does something that goes against every moral fiber in my body (especially if he does it in his capacity as a public face of the company) I think it's fair that I voice my opinion—even more so in companies where employees are told that "we are the company"—and if he wants to listen and have a dialog about it, cool, and if not, well... If it's bad enough, maybe I'll have to start looking for another job, or I'll just have to learn to live with it.

Saying that no one is allowed to challenge someone else's opinion is both counter-productive and dangerous.
The only thing that tells you what prices should be is an active market place where transactions (proportional to the number of market participants) are happening. If sellers and buyers are in agreement about the price of something, then the only other way I could see one defining overvalued (and undervalued) is over a certain time period, but then you would also have to classify what class of assets and level of risk you are comparing it to.

But in most cases, "overvalued" and "undervalued" are meaningless terms for when someone can't afford something, or someone doesn't want to sell something at a lower price.

Twitter is the collective thoughts of humanity when we're on our boring train commute, at home in our underwear at 2:00 am alone in our apartments, trying to waste time at work, in line at the supermarket, and in myriad other situations that put us at our most misanthropic, isolated, bitter, and sad. Twitter generally is a toxic cesspit, and the only reason to go on there is because whatever is going on in your life is worse than that.
In the last Off-Broadway show I saw here in NYC (I Was Most Alive With You), they had sign-language interpreters signing for their respective actors on an elevated platform. It was a cool effect that suited the subject matter (it was a play about deafness whose main character is deaf), but obviously not practical for every play.

In another (Light Shining in Buckinghamshire) there were subtitles projected at the front of the room. You could get used to it, but it was somewhat distracting and not ideal. This approach seems much better!

Both plays were incredible, btw. Light Shining in Buckinghamshire blew my mind and I highly recommend picking up a copy if you haven't read/seen it.
Ask HN: Getting a job in data science as a graduate?
I'm a recent graduate in a relevant field, but it seems like most positions require at least 3 years of experience. How did other HNers make their first move into the space?
I fully agree. There's tons of stuff moving fast when you look on the inside. Everyone aware of what the cutting edge is in their field and working to implement that within their own little niche of responsibility. From the outside it's like watching a large military cargo plane. It's so big that it looks slow no matter how fast it's going.

That said, GM (or any other BigCo) realizes when it doesn't have a capability and either decides to not pursue it, spin it up themselves internally (like in the case of EVs), license it, or buy someone who has it (e.g. Cruise).

Privacy issues aren't my number one priority. I have lost count of the number of times people misunderstand me thanks to not knowing I am deaf or believing it, or me misunderstanding them.

No hardware manufacturer should partner with Alphabet unless they have exclusivity contract or equity in tech, otherwise Alphabet would just use to subsidize proof of concept first production relationship to sign up more manufacturers.
I played a little fast and loose to convey the basic idea. To elaborate since you asked, introduce typed tuples/records as first-class entities, then "tables" are just a sequence of records declared with a particular lifetime.

Relations are functions over these sequences. The embedded relation is then a stored function over a set of nested sequences. So to add the concrete types:

var firstQuery = select Id, Name, Payment from Foo where ...
var compositeQuery = select Id, Name, Total from firstQuery where ...

create table StoredQuery(id int not null primary key, query relation{Id int, Name Text, Payment decimal})
insert into StoredQuery values (0, firstQuery)

Again eliding a few details, but hopefully you get the basic idea.
I've heard that too. I think I have some of the China batteries. I haven't really been able to tell the difference. They still last 2x as long as the crappy bulk hardware store batteries I used to buy.
This does bring to the light potential issues, like whether a person has any or many coping mechanisms that are part of their routine - such as perhaps certain types of entertainment, certain routine of walking places, certain comfort from their regular environment(s) or physical/material goods. For someone in a severe state and need of coping mechanisms/strategies (whether they realize it or not, whether they have any support or people helping them), it could be extremely harsh for them — so therefore, it’s relative to everyone as to what impact, or how easy it would be. For myself, if I had enough food that didn’t hurt or bother me to eat, clean water, pen and paper, place to sleep properly, then 3 weeks would be good time for deep reflection and meditation. For someone else it could be torment. And it’s not hard to assume that someone who blatantly uploads a copyright video publicly to Facebook may not have the best critical thinking skills, and therefore not the best self-care or self-awareness, awareness overall.

All of the auto companies have watched the mobile phone market going from a situation where the companies that build mobile phones (Nokia, LG, Ericsson) etc. had high margins to a situation where almost the entire market has been commodified by Android (Google). They don't want the situation to repeat itself with cars, so they are heavily investing in software and technology development to prevent it.

I think that one was run on AC, but it was a while back so I can't be 100% sure. I keep meaning to re-run it to make sure, but haven't gotten to it yet.

I also have benchmarks of Haswell-era hardware which the XS is also very competitive against-- including my personal desktop, which the XS beats in single-core and matches for multi-core. But that one's probably not an entirely fair comparison, given that it's older hardware and the machine wasn't intended to be particularly high-end when I built it.

I'd like to see some more comprehensive benchmarking against Intel... I'd be inclined to do some myself, but I don't have a good benchmarking suite that isn't Geekbench. If only the SPEC benchmarks weren't so stinking expensive...

Android is not "given away for free". AOSP is, but that's pretty unusable / unsalable as is, outside of China. Google Play Services and the google apps cost real money, and include a license to the "Android" name and logo. A phone that just has AOSP cannot be called an Android phone.

All $29.99. A couple years ago I was buying a lot of these in ones and twos. I was also also having a lot of trouble with Amazon Logistics messing things up (and Amazon refusing to allow me to "deprioritize" them, so I could get my package through another carrier with fewer issues). That struggle lead me to take another look at local retail, and removed my illusions about Amazon's automatic superiority. The local stores have most of the same items, for the same price, and available more quickly without shipping delays. They also don't have the fake-review fueled counterfeit problems that Amazon has.

As I've learned more about shopping at local stores, my Amazon use has been reduced to items that are only available on it or that I don't know where to find elsewhere.
