Why wouldn't being banned from serving as CEO or Chairman of any publicly traded company for some certain amount of time be enough? Why wouldn't increasing the fine be enough? Say it were $40m, $80m, $100m.

You can punish someone without throwing them into a box. I don't see how that benefits Musk or society in any way. If he's unlikely to do anything like this again, he had power taken away from him, and investors recooped losses, what possible gain is there?
It's much more bizarre than that. Vanguard is organized upside-down from most funds companies. Instead of a company that owns mutual funds, Vanguard funds own the management services company (and investors in turn own the funds). This aligns the incentives of Vanguard with its investors --- which is exactly what you want from a fund manager.

Vanguard is in trouble for "charging" the funds below-market rate on the services provided by the management company. But the only reason there are charges to pay attention to at all is that Vanguard deliberately organized itself to return as much money as possible to investors.
Right! He settles for twenty (420) million and then goes on to mock the agency he settled with afterwards. People also seem to quickly overlook this and his other bizarre tweets:

Here's my own attempt at implementing a somewhat readable copying GC in C - https://github.com/matp/tiny-lisp/blob/master/tiny-lisp.c#L1...
Very interesting if true.

So much earth day. So many recycling drives. If my entire countries is not even 1% of the waste, it seems like a total waste.
Any response I could write to this would just be repeating things I said previously.
I couldn't make it past the third paragraph. So poorly written that it literally made me mad.
Cans are lighter, but glass bottles are far better for recycling. They can be simply washed out and reused many many times before you need to melt them down.
Cross-platform rich content over SMS is a bit of a mixed bag. You’re never sure the other party is going to be able to read it properly.

Also SMS doesn’t do group messenging very well.

iMessage would be a great alternative to WA were it cross platform.

> In C, there are no (user-defined) generics

C has had generics since C11. I’ve got a clone of “the good parts” of the std C++ template library (vector, unordered_map, ...) laying around somewhere.
These are all consumer tech companies. The article takes this into account.
I don't see where the 50/50 split is. I didn't imply that the feedback rejected any change to error handling.

Re 'check', more than half of the counter-proposals suggest various ways to select a named handler, which check cannot do.
It's more free of consequences in a very low margin business though - if they drive a couple of customers away with the ads, they were only making a few pennies from them anyway.

In a higher margin business, the cost of losing customers is higher so the ad revenue would have to be very high to offset that, so you're less likely to see intrusive advertising.
Netflix already runs (skippable but autoplaying) ads for its own original content between episodes of other things on its service.
As long as it's a small channel that knows what you're doing. Comic chat drops a lot of gibberish into your conversation for users on other clients.

On an unrelated anecdote, I used comic chat for years in the late 90s before I knew what IRC was. I just thought everyone else used the same client, like ICQ.
I'm nobody. The point of a protocol is for others to use it. Also,there are 'ok' alternatives for messaging like signal and wire. But yeah,i don't want to spend all my time working on something no one will use :-)
For sure, I'd rather keep the money. But it makes comparisons a bit less straightforward, if you saved $200 on a laptop but could have gotten $300 more back on a Mac at the end, was it really cheaper?

I haven't kept track of Thinkpads (had a brief foray into Surface Pro land, then went back to an iPad + Mac for Apple's better stylus when they finally supported one), but I've been told the drains aren't a standard thing anymore? Some models have it, but Thinkpad doesn't list them in the specs so it's hard to even tell which.

For instance, the T480 does, but I think the T480s (slim) does not. And the T480's webpage doesn't mention it: https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-t-ser...
Programming means telling a computer what to do, such that it does what you tell it. You can do this. One of the reasons there are a ka-jillion frameworks popping up is that programmers know how to program, but not what to program. My advice is to learn something you find meaningful, and use computer programming to help people do that - in my case, this was the open source curve and surface fitting web site zunzun.com - I had to learn curve and surface fitting first, and then after having proficiency at that I was able to program the core fitting library and web site code.
Someone started at work recently. They were born in 2000. They were harping on about getting a film from BitTorrent

I told them I was using bitchx to dcc tv episodes down a 10m line before they were born.

Nokias are about as Chinese made as Apple phones are. Both are made by Foxconn.

HMD is a Finnish company with headquarters at the Nokia Campus in Karaportti, Espoo, Finland, opposite Nokia Corporation's headquarters.
No. I've not had much luck with Ubuntu Core and use Arch generally, Alpine for Docker, and have had better luck with other distros for embedded Linux.
Yes, but everything inside is still ruined and has to be torn out, often including the wall. Any home filled with water has to be completely gutted.

You're also talking about a very serious wall. Fast moving water is extremely powerful and heavy - and it can also wash out the earth beneath you. And it's carrying all manner of debris. It can drop concrete bridge pilings on your house, for example.

I cleaned up after Katrina. There's really nothing we can practically build for these types of situations. Most houses will survive the winds, unless they're hit by a tornado, a tree falls on them, they're especially unlucky, or have unusually poor construction. A lot of people on HN seem to have this idea that we just need better building codes. That is not my experience.
That can be achieved with a much simpler <a rel="noreferrer" ...>
Thanks I hadn't laughed hard enough today.
At this point these companies are really just an amalgamation of hundreds of companies that all have created value. So the big ones may have younger founders, but they are also composed of many smaller companies that had older founders.
Do the letters nytimes bother you for some reason? HN lists the domain next to each link which makes actually visiting the site easy to avoid. Some people here find it interesting to read.
So I grew up in fly-over land. That part of the USA where in Daniel Boone's time "A squirrel could go from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River without ever touching the ground.", but today is horizon-to-horizon corn and soybeans.

Today, we make price-support payments to farmers if grain prices drop below the support trigger. We require corn-derived ethanol in gasoline even though the energy economics of it make no sense. It's mildly nuts.

Let's just put some of that land back to trees. I mean really, instead of paying people to grow an over-abundance of feed grains, pay them to grow organic carbon sequestration units.
Why not just dose continually until death occurs?
I agree; my point was just that the "goodness" of an engineer doesn't necessarily relate to their impact on revenue.

In the particular situation I was thinking about above, it actually could've been better from a business perspective had I not been as "good" of an engineer. I took over a project that was simply not working at a technical level - it was a DSP-based thing, and the chosen DSP appeared not to have enough oomph. I managed to optimise the electronics and firmware enough to make it go, so it went on to production and AFAIK (I'm no longer at that company) has been a money pit ever since. The other possibility was a redesign with a burlier DSP, but I'd bet that the project would've been cancelled instead.

lol. something fried because google hardware is notoriously bad, not "because you installed linux". Hardware is not supposed to fry because the software told it to.

> Consider an alternative scenario: you're a business person and you present an alcoholic beverage to someone you know is an alcoholic because you are paid to do so

I'm sure there's a good counter example to the notion of 'ad targeting is terrible', but this is not it. If one goes by this example, you'd need companies to know that you are an alcoholic in order to avoid advertising to them, which seems to be an extremely personal piece of data. Surely your point is not that this is an acceptable compromise in order to avoid alcoholics ever seeing an ad for alcohol?
Crostini is now in stable and works well there.
No. A visit to any decent wax museum will show why.
> I don't see where the 50/50 split is.

There are 3 articles under "In support" and 3 articles under "Against". A pretty literal 50/50 split.
While there have recently been some issues with some elections in the US, we definitely don't have an "election integrity" issue.

There is very little evidence that any elections in the US have been affected by fraud by any significant amount.

>> A pretty good quality of life metric is how many Christmas cards you get (and send).
Funny you would say that. When I first got married my wife was in an absolute stress about making sure we sent Christmas cards to everybody who had come to our wedding. The fact I didn't have addresses for some of them was a source of much frustration.

After rationalising our card list to the 5 to 10 people we are actually friends with, Christmas is a lot more calm. I'm sure some of the people we used to send cards to are a lot happier too, as they now no longer feel obligated to send us cards in return.\

I suppose my point is that in my experience most people only have 10 to 20 people (if that) they would consider friends. It's only since Facebook and the like that we have considered great numbers of followers our "friends".
"realized I was way behind the times. I was a C/C++ bit twiddler."

Say what? We pay good money for that. The other stuff is of almost no value to us.

Heck, I almost never touch C++. It's plain C, assembly, or raw opcodes expressed in hexadecimal. This is where the fun is.

FWIW, we hire people much older than 40. We have people old enough to have worked with paper tape. (like a cross between punch cards and magnetic tape) If somebody wants to twiddle bits with us all day every day, have a go at it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17912861
I mean, I just email and text my family. They are on Facebook, but I removed myself. Sure, I may miss some rant about some politics or a photo, but I still know when the family events are occurring and attend.
Our bodies don't need to die; some of our parents' minds don't need to die; and our children certainly don't need to grow old.

Ask questions. Learn things. Experiment on boosting your own body's processes. Work together with other people who're also worried, when you meet them. Tell people now and then how you just don't want to die, and that's why you know about the things you "geek out" about. etc.
I have a the i7 pixelbook for dev work and I love it. I use both a cloud ide (CoCalc) and Crostini for local Linux and Docker dev work. This is an awesome machine. Very ergonomic, fast, etc. and 2.4 pounds weight. I use the stable channel also and do not use crouton. I don't have trouble with sound.
You also aware of the following?

For more, albeit more peripherally related, see also here:

https://arxiv.org/abs/0806.3972 Short note on additive sequences and on recursive processes;

from where I'll quote:

"It seems obvious that any ‘grammar’ that would engender the words – and only the words – of the above described recursive sequence has infinitely many rules (even if we can express them all in a finite number of English words) and as such does not belong to ‘formal’ grammars. Of course, the use of these new rules at every step of the process is limited, because it depends of the steps themselves. Nevertheless, it seems that the set of the generated words is not included in the outcome vocabulary of any formal grammar. Therefore it doesn’t correspond to any Turing Machine. Inasmuch it seems to be, in some sense, calculable and recursively enumerable, one can ask: how to build an automaton able to recognize them? How about the celebrated Church-Turing Thesis and the way it is understood or misunderstood?"

[

For EVEN MORE misunderstandings about Turing completeness, see also this Scala-related paper:

http://drops.dagstuhl.de/opus/volltexte/2017/7276/pdf/LIPIcs...

Which points out that one can do certain forms of recursion, specifically, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounded_quantification#F-bound..., via recursive self-types, without turing completeness.

It's not even age difference though. I don't think powwow had that much penetration (after all it was 'just' ytalk for Windows, plus that weird shared browsing mode, and I think it had a shared whiteboard too?). There were so many things back then that 'everyone' used, except they had like 10% of the market, it was just your sphere of friends that used it. (After all, who would be friends with someone who used msn messenger instead of [your favorite])
Well in my experience golang

No, he can't read arbitrary emails in Zendesk. What he did is simple yet difficult to explain. He covers it in "METHOD #2 — THE SUPPORT DESK"

He signed up to a target company's Zendesk as feedback@slack.com. This is the email address Slack sends email from. He could do this because Zendesk doesn't require email verification.

Then he signed up to Slack using support@target-company.com. This is the email address the target company uses to open cases in Zendesk.

ASo since Slack send the account confirmation links from feedback@slack.com to support@target-company.com, he could see them and login to the target company's Slack.
The breaks were anywhere from one month to a year. I never had the next job lined up before hand.

One of the criticisms of exception handling is that it spends cycles assembling a stack trace before it knows that it's needed.

Go generates a stack-trace for panic() or via runtime/debug.PrintStack(); I recommend the latter before log.Fatal().
Email them. If it’s interesting they’ll amplify it. These people make their living be being “in the know” on all the great new stuff.
I hope all these downvotes came from people who are more successful than me.
100% of the funds for those come from taxes... Meaning, Capital One would likely make more money if those customers weren’t using those welfare services.

Think for an instances, where their hospital bills would go?

More than that, there’s the loss value due to the overhead of redistribution. Imo again if we are just looking at my salary, I’d be better off without the payroll taxes from both angles.

Lyrics
I done suffer no be small /
Upon say I get sense /
Poverty no good at all, no /
Na im make I join this business /
419 no be thief, it's just a game /
Everybody dey play em /
if anybody fall mugu, /
ha! my brother I go chop em /
National Airport na me get em /
National Stadium na me build em /
President na my sister brother /
You be the mugu, I be the master /
Oyinbo man I go chop your dollar, /
I go take your money and disappear /
419 is just a game, you are the loser I am the winner /
The refinery na me get em, /
The contract, na you I go give em /
But you go pay me small money make I bring em /
you be the mugu, I be the master… /
na me be the master ooo!!!! /
When Oyinbo play wayo, /
dey go say na new style /
When country man do him own, /
them go dey shout: bring em, kill em, die! /
That Oyinbo people greedy, I say them greedy /
I don't see them tire /
That's why when they fall into my trap o! /
I dey show them fire"

Translated by Azuka Nzegwu and Adeolu Ademoyo.

I am suffering greatly /
and I get this idea (or wise) /
poverty is not good at all /
and I decide to join this business (scam) /

419 is not a criminal act but a game /
Everybody will play /
but if you are fool /
I will chop your money /

Chorus:

I own the National Airport /
I built the National Stadium /
The president is my sister's brother /
You are the fool and I am the master /

White man, I will eat your dollar /
I will take your money and disappear /
419 is just a game, you are the loser and I am the winner /

I own the refinery /
I will give you the contract /
But you will have to pay me a small fee before I bring them /
You are the fool, I am the master /
I am the master!!!! /

When whites scam /
it is said that it is a new style /
But when the country man does the same /
White people shout: bring them, kill them, die! /

White people are greedy, I say they are greedy /
I have seen through them deeply (or very well) /
So, when they fall into my trap /
I will show them fire (or showing someone who is the real boss by treating them harshly)
That’s not what Rust looks like normally, though; usually you’d use “use” and the T is inferred.

The :: and <> are also not particularly unusual syntax for their respective features either.
Sorry I don't know more about you, I hope something I write will be of some use.

You want to be better than others. You are "scared" you will "end up as another human being". Sounds like you've spent your life being scared. Why do you feel superior to those around you? Why do you think You are so special? It sounds like you don't like people. I guess you don't like yourself. How is it that you've never achieved anything? So you "could" do something, but somehow you never have. Get over yourself. What you write sounds so pathetically egotistical. Sounds like you've never loved or been loved. It sounds like you want the ego recognition more than you actually want to help other people. I guess that works to motivate some people. Sounds like you need to learn to love yourself. Then to care about others.

I hope as you get older you realize that you aren't so great, you aren't so bad, that being a decent human being that does more good than harm in this world, is no small achievement. Start small. Good luck.
Living in Vietnam, I concur. It is literally the culture to throw stuff everywhere and not care about it. Someone else will pick it up. Except someone else doesn't and there is no way deal with that since there is so much trash.

Outside my apartment, there is a river. It used to be more of an open sewer. Eventually the government started sending a barge with two guys on it down the river multiple times a day to pick up the trash. The barge gets maybe about 5% of the trash it passes since the river is much wider than the barge. Because there is a daily tide, all the water in the river flows out to the larger Saigon river... which heads to the oceans.

I wish I could post pictures here easily... I have lots of them. It is everywhere in this country. It is sad.

sure, housing costs are extremely inflated in SV, definitely a reality

i'm talking about inflation and marginal propensity to consume at the national level. not sure what inflation looks like in SV - how much does your average fast food meal run you in mountain view?

i think it's also worth noting the effect of the internet on who owns property and where they are able to own and effectively maintain it. as well as the rate of return on real estate vs. market interest rates of "safe" investments and why the two have diverged so drastically
But “Buzz Feed” does indeed have a terrible rep for peddling the most cynical mindless clickbait type of content the web has to offer, and it is literally 2/3 of the “Buzz Feed News” brand for better or (obviously) worse.
This was the most powerful hurricane to hit the Florida panhandle in recorded history. The base has withstood previous hurricanes and storms. So yeah, the structures were inadequate to protect some of the planes from the storm of the century (or two?) but should we expect or desire the base to withstand that? Of the dozen planes left behind so far only four are suspected to have been destroyed and even that isn't actually known yet. It is still possible the base did protect the planes at least in part from this extreme outlier event.

The lifespan of the planes is only ~30 years. Losing a few of them to a total freak storm doesn't seem as outrageous as you are making it out to be, especially when much more of the fleet was evacuated than should be expected based on typical readiness.

You're acting like the USAF had no hurricane plan at all when in reality they obviously did. Not all the F-22s were lost and a bunch of the other assets made it out too.
Ah, indeed :-) But many of the counter-proposals offer very different solutions than check/handle, so I'd count them as variations of "against".

Yes. “One study by International Coastal Cleanups and used at Clemson University indicates that about 5% (10 instances in 443) of trapped wildlife was entangled in plastic six rings.”

Those rings are vastly less than 5% of plastic production.

PS: Recycling streams are not really relevant for wildlife as a trash dump is also generally effective. The issue is they are often used outdoors and the plastic fails to enter the trash stream.
Same. I know it’s a bad cognitive habit to let it get to me, but the asinine content on those “PumpTV” feeds just makes me angry. I’ve never once learned anything new from it, so I mute the speaker with my wallet while imagining it’s playing the voiceover from the PumpTV Superego sketch [1]:
