> This is not a investment. It is a tool for leverage. The goal is not to grow the company it's to get as many contracts as they can and lower the ebita. Once they don't his they will take out huge loans for the next company to destroy.

All investments are buying cashflow or value appreciation, that is the end goal, regardless of the method. As long as the PE firm involved gets more cash out then they put in, it was a successful investment.

I address how both companies and customers can protect themselves in my comment you replied to. If someone buys a private company, the majority shareholders were willing participants. Better ownership and stakeholder models protect against these outcomes.

No one is going to buy Let's Encrypt. Consider if that model would work for CICD as a service. Start a non-profit, round up the talent, fire up the infrastructure, provision a Stripe account, and build something better. Let's Encrypt secures the web for $3 million/year. Crunchbase and Glassdoor mention Travis CI had ~$1-1.5 million/year in revenue.
The Cash App is made by Square and they probably pay him a lot. And you'd be surprised how much money pseudo-pharmaceuticals like Alpha Brain can make. They usually put tiny amounts of different compounds (legitimate compounds, but below their effectiveness thresholds) into each capsule. Their marginal cost is very low, and they sell at extreme markup.
- He had received an offer at a start-up, and he would have loved to take it, but it paid half as much, and he felt locked into a lifestyle that made this pay cut impossible. “My wife laughed when I told her about it,” he said. Sounds like a good wife to me, and this "pay cut" is making 500k-600k instead of 1.2 million, what world are these people living in that you can't give up a job that you hate because you can't afford to live on 500-600k.
How do you propose to change your password after a breach?
My first attempt did no backtracking at all. It would guess randomly, propagate constraints and continue. If it got stuck, it would just start again. The most it ever took to solve a puzzle was 2100 attempts. Sure it wasn't guaranteed to solve a puzzle in finite time, but it worked well enough for something written during one of those endless big-corp conference calls.

is it capitalism or the fundamental emptiness of life?
There are recent alternatives that seem pretty ambitious (I'll just mention https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb38-1/tb118cozens.pdf as a proof of existence). That I can see, though, any system capable enough to do as much is just as complex. Would be interested in being proved wrong, though.

As other people have mentioned, the LuaTeX folks have got a real good thing going. It is climbing the adoption curve but it makes reasonable some things that in the past have not really been reasonable to program (at least for me).
This is definitely something I was thinking about a lot of as I compiled these notes. To be fair, each lecture was a standalone by a different speaker, with different backgrounds, experiences and skills. I'm not surprised that there are some contradictions. Like other commenters have pointed out, YMMV depending on a gazillion unknown factors.

How many Russians were effectively living in slavery under Stalin? Or Cambodians under Pol Pot? All of them? Certainly a very high proportion.

1/3 of the world’s Jewish population was wiped out in a decade. At least 1/10th of the population of Ukraine starved in the two year Holodomor. Double-digit percentages of the entire populations of the Soviet Union, Poland, Greece, and Yugoslavia perished in the Second World War as did about 8% of all Germans. 1/4 of Cambodians died at the hands of the Khmer Rouge. All within brief periods of time.
The podcast "The Dropout" does a great job of telling the story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos: http://abcradio.com/podcasts/the-dropout/

I get the feeling that she is a lot like Steve Jobs 'pre-getting fired from Apple'. Mercurial, unrelenting, quick to lie, charming.

The "greatness" we remember of Steve Jobs comes after a decade long process of humbling and nearly losing everything at Pixar. Even then I wouldn't have wanted to be around him.

(This comment brought to you via my 2015 Macbook Pro. Thanks Steve).
Life isn't fundamentally empty. It's the philosophical underpinnings of profit-worship that make life seem empty.
I think this is a quintessentially American slash Protestant-work-ethicy sentence. Why is anyone surprised that people who work so much that they don't have a life, meaningful relationships to other people or a vibrant social circle are depressed?

If you optimize for making lots of money, that's (hopefully? probably?) what you will achieve. But it's very misguided to think that having a lot of money is how you become happy. If you want to be happy, make time for your friends, family, people important to you, and spend time on yourself and what you like doing. It's not complicated.
Meaning can absolutely be found in life, one way cited throughout history across many cultures and religions is directly helping others (charity, teaching, medicine).
So just now the NYTimes is finding out that money can't outright buy happiness?
I've always felt the key is to focus on how much you spend not on how much you make. I want to make a lot of money, but I'm always careful to never spend too much. It's consumption that ruins things.
The malware just waits until you use one of these passwords? The threat model of "I have these crazy essential passwords that I literally never use" is worthless. It costs the malware author nothing to wait.

If this is your thesis you’ll have to explain how e.g. Communism totally did not have this problem.
Its's always super strange from the UK reader on the BBC hearing the host stop then do an add break live themselves.
We use Athena for all our robotics data, which we ETL into JSON. It's fantastic for queries that are simple time-slice queries, as most are because sensor data is inherently time-series. When more complicated joins are necessary, the performance is there across terabytes, and the cost is very very low, $5 per terabyte scanned (storage costs are another thing).
Really? Bullshit titles (which are already not taken seriously in tech circles) are the reason? This seems to be a bit of an asinine assumption given their success and track-record.

How long have you been doing this though? I started to listen to more podcasts in 2014 when Serial was first released. At that time I did not have unlimited data (I still don't) and I suspect very few people did. I think for the vast majority of listeners at that time, storage was a much bigger factor to ease of listening than generous mobile data caps.
>This passenger had gotten a series of "driving without a license" tickets, and now owes $10,000+ in fines. Because of the outstanding balance, the state issues him an identification card that expires every 3 or 6 months. People who don't have balances with the state get identification cards without an expiration date.

the state behaves just like a petulant cruel child, so typical of GOP and their puritanical mentality.

If ID is required by state to access basic rights, then having such an ID is a right not a privilege. In this case, beside everything else, AZ by de-facto denying ID to those people effectively strips them of their right to vote for example.
For tech, Kara Swisher's Recode Decode is excellent.

I've yet to find any good History podcasts that serves good to great episodes on a regular basis either. The BBC's history podcast stood out as vaguely better. But I was always left craving for something more in-depth, like some of the better History lectures you can find on YouTube. That being said, there are a few great shows from time to time, like Slate's Slow Burn (on Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton) and Standoff (on the Ruby Ridge incident) or MSNBC's Bag Man (on Spiro Agnew).

In my experience that is not true. The few printers I've had to set up on a Linux device required me to go find PPDs.
I personally like to listen to podcasts to relax, zone out, or have some background noise on while I'm working (I work from home). If I were consuming them for informational/educational content, I think this would make sense, but I kind of like them being slower-paced and chill.

Structuring Legal Documents with Deep Learning
1) Ah, the "the rich will leave!" card. The rich won't leave if you fight the problem under an international flag, and all their businesses will be accounted for. Even if all the rich want to live solely in the Bahama's or Cayman Islands, let them be. If large countries plot together its not like you can't boycott such small countries. Just like almost the entire world has copyright laws. See also #3.

2) The problem is that large companies such as Amazon don't pay tax which by itself is unfair. On top of that, the side effect is that small and medium businesses [on a worldwide scale] cannot compete with them, leading to less competition which is bad for the customer and bad for the economy. And it isn't just Amazon. It is also for example Starbucks, who pay no tax whatsoever whilst local coffee shops diminish.

3) Not addressing the topic of tax avoidance is political unwillingness kept intact by the rich world elite who give breadcrumbs to servants such as Tucker Carlson.

4) Given the conference was visited by billionaire philanthropists who avoid taxes, it was a highly insightful and appropriate comment.

> it was just more hand waving and blaming the ones who have been pillars of industry, creating jobs, products, and economic prosperity.

If you give me billions of USD I can also promise you I will be a pillar of industry, creating jobs, products, and economic prosperity. The lack of these is caused by the inequality. If people wouldn't live in poverty, their happiness would increase, and they'd be more productive in society; not less. Instead, they're being squeezed out.

This is where things get really complicated. The output data of these tests are typically for a specialist to interpret, I'm not aware of "consumer" tests that break down things like "here's here you flipped over to your side" and "this is when you woke up". Specialists can interpret this, and can read past how you might adjust results yourself.

What gets covered by insurance and what doesn't is specific to your situation (what state/country you live in, etc). I just requested it with my primary care physician, who set up the consultation with a sleep center. Because my case isn't considered "problematic", it really helped to have a specialist request the CPAP, because otherwise, I'm pretty sure insurance wouldn't foot the bill. (I might add this is insane, because I'm sure I've added years to my life with the improved sleep. That's healthcare in the US for you.)

My impression is that the kind of tests is up to the sleep specialist to kind of figure out. The take home thing is much cheaper so I think they'll probably go that route first. I do note that they deal with a wide array of problems, like narcolepsy, sleep walking, night terrors, etc., and that's where I think you'll end up in a monitored hotel room.

I think the idea was that blood testing could be done on a significantly larger scale and that somehow would pay dividends health and otherwise wise. You'd be doing blood testing for almost anything then. You can insert what you feel that might be. You're not wrong as the questions start to mount there.

Still significantly more tests, with less blood, at way cheaper prices could earn them a ton of money, of course they couldn't actually do any of that.
Not sure what you are even exactly complaining about. Is it the UI?

I agree that most podcast players just lack features. They're built for "dummies": you can subscribe and click play, that's mostly it.

I'm a power-user. Podcast Addict on Android is the best player I have used, it has a ton of features and extreme customizability. Still, I am now using PocketCasts which is inferior by a wide margin, but it has sync capability, which ends up making my life a lot easier since I don't listen to podcasts on just a single device.

I think ultimately there is still space for another podcast player that is not built for dummies and offers a wide range of features on multiple platforms. Nothing like that exists, as far as I know.
Life is fundamentally empty. Unless you're religious: you live for a while then you die. Maybe you successfully procreated, and your descendants live until something gets them too.

Eventually climate change, or asteroids or supernova gets everyone left.

The rich are depressed, the middle-class is shrinking and fearful, the poor are hopeless. I'm gonna take a leap here and say maybe people need some religion in their lives to give direction and meaning.

I found it interesting that a person in the article who made $1.2M a year was still depressed in thinking they were wasting their lives and it was all meaningless. I ask myself, does this person have children? a family to leave wealth to? or children to teach values to? I'm sorry but we have become so weak in our desire to satisfy only our own goals. That person's duty is to his family, and children (if he has any). His duty to society is to raise children with values that are compatible with the society. Religion instills this virtue and gives framework of how our actions on earth and our ability to reason and create is an imitation of "god" aka creation of existence.
Sounds pretty fun !
The way I read this part is that his wife laughed at how ridiculous the idea of taking a 50% pay cut was. I think that she was the one who couldn't imagine living with 600k instead of a million.
The article seems to be omitting an important piece of data: Are people who make more money less happy/equally happy/more happy than people who make less?

It implies by its framing that they're less happy, but that's not actually supported by any actual data in the piece (though to be fair, on cursory googling I wasn't able to find any evidence one way or another).
Offtopic, but do you know of any good German fiction podcasts? I'm looking for something like LeVar Burton Reads in German. I'm somewhere around B1/B2 and trying to improve a little.

> No, I think they actually believed what they were saying. They believed the rising tide lifts all boats, and none of them would get swamped.

I do too. I think their primary motive was selfish and short-signed motivated reasoning about the effects of their ideas. They ignored how those ideas could harm others because they were so captivated by how they could help themselves.

Algae, and the fish that live on it, don't provide omega-3 oils. They provide the fully formed end products, DHA and EPA, so the metabolic bottleneck is avoided.
Podcasts are very good for interviews and conversations, which of course can be cleaned up and transcribed but may suffer for it.

There are also audio dramas, audiobooks, documentaries, and so on, that are all tightly scripted and can work very well. Some of them may work just as well as longform text and I guess that's what GP prefers. I enjoy audio documentaries a lot though.
I've been reducing my intake as well, after more than a decade of listening to 4+ hours a day worth of podcasts (and still having to skip episodes because I was subscribed to so many).

Podcasts nowadays tend to have way more advertising, long digressions, long intros and credit sequences, more re-runs and crossover episodes. That hasn't happened in a vaccum - the content and production values have gotten a lot more ambitious. A lot of the heavy hitters of modern podcasting have entire staffs dedicated to production, to investigation and research... they have caught up and surpassed radio shows of old, and now are more comparable in scope to a lot of documentary TV shows. Paying for all that has required a very different model of revenue, one that I'm not nearly as interested in consuming.

...but could they even support themselves with a paid subscription model? What's frustrating is that cross-promotion is very effective at increasing subscriber count.

At least in my country (Argentina) I think that at a personal level (indoor) we are all OK, the problem is at a social level (outdoor).

I can think of several projects that would make me happy and 100% sure that they would improve my community as well. But I don't have time or wealth or mechanisms to deal with it. We are lacking community level organization, because it is really hard to do it well, without messing with corruption or ineptitude.
As I understand, Spotify podcasts still contain ads. It's not clear from the article that they intend to provide ad free podcasts for a monthly subscription either.

I work for Altinity, which offers commercial support for ClickHouse. We like benchmarks. :)

We use the DTC airline on time performance dataset (https://www.transtats.bts.gov/tables.asp?DB_ID=120) and Yellow Taxi trip data from NYC Open Data (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/browse?q=yellow%20taxi%20data&...) for benchmarking real-time query performance on ClickHouse. I'm working on publishing both datasets in a form that makes it easy to load them quickly. Queries are an exercise for the reader but see Mark Litwintschik's blog for good examples of queries: https://tech.marksblogg.com/billion-nyc-taxi-clickhouse.html.

We've also done head-to-head comparisons on time series using the TSBS benchmark developed by the Timescale team. See https://www.altinity.com/blog/clickhouse-timeseries-scalabil... for a description of our tests as well as a link to the TSBS Github project.
I don't see how that follows but I'll answer anyway. One main difference is that the economic gains in a hypothetical alternate economic system could be distributed to you, your peers, and the needy in a more humane fashion instead of the majority of the gains concentrating to the elite.

I consume these types of media in order of consumption volume

1. Podcasts
2. The Economist (text and audio)
3. Youtube

Podcast listening dominates. I had started listening to podcasts when I was having trouble sleeping and wanted to stop using drugs (Trazodone) to help me sleep. I still use podcasts for that purpose, but I also now listen to them any time that I am able - like driving or doing chores or yardwork. It's just amazing to have some well-spoken, interesting person or persons in my head while I do something that doesn't require the higher cognitive centers.

My rule for podcasts is quality over quantity - meaning quantity of channels in my app, not quantity of hours consumed. My "binge podcasts" are those by Mike Duncan - "The History of Rome" and "Revolutions". Other favorites are "In our Time". If anyone know of other podcasts of the same quality as those by Mike Duncan, please do share.
