> Imagine you have a private company. Somebody comes to you with a big fat acquisition offer and you get excited, but it's obviously not anywhere near inked yet. You send a celebratory e-mail to your investors and your option-holding employees that basically boils down to "we gonna get some bling bling!" Then the deal just totally vaporizes.

A couple of major points:

One, Tesla is not a private company. They are a public company with an actively traded stock. The price of the stock moved significantly based on this information being revealed, and people who were short might have been subjected to margin calls causing them to close out their position, and new longs might have invested in the stock on the assumption that an acquisition at $420 a share would take place. This people have real harm due to Musk's irresponsibility, and they are exactly the kind of people the SEC exists to protect.

Two, you say that is probably what happened very confidently here without any evidence. There isn't a single investor that has come forward and said that they were the one planning to facilitate this transaction, which is surprising, because the universe of institutions that can fund a $50 billion buyout is incredibly small. Most likely whatever Musk might have been referring to in his infamous "funding secured" tweet was even less material than you describe.

Three, I would also describe this as irresponsible and unethical in a private company as well. If you started telling your employees that their shares are worth $420 a share and will soon be as good as cash, then one of them decides to buy a house on the knowledge that his net worth can take the added mortgage relatively easily, you should feel bad about misleading them.

> BTW I am not totally letting him off the hook, just saying that maybe staying away from environments like the public stock markets is a good idea if you don't want a bureaucratic culture.

There have been plenty of innovative CEOs who have existed in public companies. I don't think "don't tweet out securities fraud" is really too high a hurdle for someone to meet that it will impede the innovation at their company.
Same here, I sleep less when I eat little. But I don't feel any downsides to sleeping less that way, so I suspect it's normal.

Or head towards 72 DPI and get document quality resolution over a square mile.
In code, enforcing a max character count per line is debatable and has some merit.

In prose (i.e. documentation written in Markdown), I'd say that enforcing a max count is definitely counterproductive. Prose is meant to start a new line whenever it's needed. What you write in Markdown is not necessarily how it'll get formatted on a web page (i.e. even if your input is capped at 80 characters per line, the output might not necessarily be capped at 80 characters per line) since display fonts typically aren't monospaced. Consequently, the text in one line in your .md file will not necessarily show up as one line in the webpage (in fact, it probably won't).
How to override default routes, then ?
You can run it either way. Those are single-core results
Most CEOs bullshit by talking in broadly general terms so as not to get pinned down on any particular issue. Musk seems to make stuff up on a whim just to see what the Twitter feedback would be. Shocking to think that this is coming from a nearly 50-year old man.
Yeah, named timers are A+ and also having basic math functions at hand is great. We have a couple different tasks that need to be started at a certain time each day, so we also have reminders that go off at said time.
Either client or server can break secrecy. Server compromise isn't a threat model the client can defend against. For example, the server could simply forward a copy of the whole communication in cleartext to someone, and the client can't know this.

In this case, the server is using a predictable number instead of a random one for part of the protocol. Possibly a client could detect this by doing multiple transactions and seeing if a number gets reused, but that seems outside the scope of TLS.
No, you're misreading the data. Comparing GDP, household incomes, real wages, total compensation, and household incomes is a non-trivial activity - it's easy to compare two numbers which are not actually directly comparable. Plus you have long-term factors such as an aging population, changing workforce participation, a shift from employers increasing wages to increasing benefits, and a larger share of wages going to the top 1% at the expense of everyone else. Combine that with increases in living costs which are typically not included in the measure of inflation, e.g. housing, and you've got a complex piece of data analysis to grapple with.

If you want to do a simple but meaningful ballpark comparison, compare total compensation with GDP [1]. It decreased by 4.5% from 1970 to 2016, meaning that workers are taking home a slightly smaller share of the "real" economy. Now recall that many costs have increased above the rate of inflation, e.g. housing, medical, education, so that money doesn't go as far as it used to.

Small correction: the CD sample rate is 44.1 kHz.

A perfectly recorded metal tape (I believe metal tapes are no longer manufactured) in a very high-end deck can maybe reach 20 kHz under optimal conditions. For normal cheap-o ferric tape you're looking at maybe 12-16 kHz. Add in faster than real-time factory dubbing, tape wear, and substandard playback equipment and you're probably usually not even getting 12.
It's HGH.

Django is a decent start. I suggest keeping it as simple as possible, and providing easy export of data to CSV’s or spreadsheets, so she can do reporting and analysis in a more free-form fashion (and you don’t have to build a reporting system).

I'm talking about real life, not arguing on the Internet. Of course if you seek out arguments on the Internet, then you will find them.

Also, I'm sure our definition of reasonable differs.
It is even more shocking considering the fact that exposing the BMC directly to the internet is not only often recommended by vendor but in many cases (eg. collocation) actually only way to use it.
Your loss.

(Also, Org Mode beats the crap out of Anaconda/Jupyter notebooks. You can still code Python, but the interface is actually ergonomic.)
Per capita income doesn’t tell you about what went to generic “workers”. Nearly all of the income increase has gone to the top, and a higher percentage of adults are working now (most women have formal work now).
Anyone, including yourself can do that.
Engineering is all about making trade-offs (“perfect is the enemy of the good and all”) and security engineering is no different. The same logic could be used to say that you don't need an edge firewall because each client should have one but it's much easier to simplify the baseline.

If nothing else, it would make the remaining traffic stand out more since you wouldn't be spending time auditing normal apps which decode cleanly and it's highly likely that someone trying to circumvent such a system would be required to do things which stand out more than routine usage.

As a simple example, an organization which does that kind of monitoring is unlikely to allow users to install arbitrary applications or visit any site on the web. With a standard setup, someone trying to exfiltrate data could just hit a popular site like Github, Gmail, Dropbox, etc. but if they need to use some custom encryption or steganography code they're either forced to install it somewhere far less common (i.e. more likely to stand out) or installing something locally where client monitoring can report an unusual browser extension or application.

And it also causes compromises in the design of the English language version.

For example in https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20030929-02/?p=... Raymond Chen talks about how when a taskbar is docked vertically, the "Start" text disappears because while you can rotate English text to appear vertically, other languages are more problematic. In the same post, he also states that internationalization is why you have "1 folder(s)" "2 folder(s)" instead of "1 folder" and "2 folders".
The judge can punish the company severely for breaking the law.
The rulings I am referring to still stand...

Several of the courts hearing DACA cases upheld the law, in at least one instance solely because of Trump's tweets established a racial motivation rather than a policy motivation for terminating the program.

The Muslim ban was heavily modified after courts repeatedly struck it down based on Trump's anti-Muslim tweets. The final version was designed to address the issues raised in the original rulings. It is limited to countries like Iran and Syria which are openly hostile to the US, and countries like Yemen and Somalia which have contributed a large portion of the membership of terrorist groups like Al Queada and ISIS. Two of the countries were added to that list Venezuela and North Korea) solely because they aren't Muslim. Persons on this list are feasibly national security concerns, which is just enough of a justification to uphold the travel ban on legal grounds.
I just tried to do a 48-hour fast and only made it to 24 before I had to eat. I felt dizzy, irritable and couldn't concentrate on anything other than my hunger.

I am curious about fasting as well, and have been considering trying it. Can you point me to some practical advice on how to get started on fasting that worked for you and some research to back up the claims.
Does this mean that if you were screaming from the rooftops "I'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG" every day leading up to the gag order and then you stop screaming from the rooftops that you'll be in contempt of court?

Can the court compel you to continue with behaviour to cover something up?

Would that be akin to conspiracy to commit fraud or wire fraud if electronic? Wouldn't that make the court and thus the judge complicit in conspiracy to commit wire fraud?

I have a feeling a judge is not about to risk being disbarred for such behaviour.

Of course, I'm not a lawyer and this is purely conjecture on my part.

Contempt of court matters, but it is also a high bar. It remains to be seen if the court will determine that a fellow saying "I love the courts, I'm sorry about the things that I said outside of trading hours" is in contempt.

My guess is that the SEC's definition and the court's definition will not agree.

Before disagreeing with this, go back and read the terms of the original settlement. A lot of people are talking smack (on both sides) about things that aren't even in that agreement.
My record is 12 days. I start intensely craving things for their electrolyte content late in the week, and like you, I'll eat a sofa cushion on day 3, but after, it's smooth sailing and the brain sort of gives up being manic about food.

I'll crave things like pickle juice. Clearly the body wants its salts. It's amazing how good it is as signaling the things it needs, when it needs them.

My wife will make some really appalling beverage for me, containing pickle juice, apple cider vinegar, lite salt, and I think lemon juice. It terrifies me to think about. On a fast, though? I'll literally drink it by the quart and want more.
Well, is there a psychological factor that makes people disregard observable reality and seek fake safety in numbers?

The census data don't show anything of the kind of "doubling" for the average american.

The table is "per capita". And even at that, it doesn't take into account the cost of college, house, services, etc. relative to 1970s.

It will sound almost confrontational, but you literally have to force yourself not to eat. I'm not going to pretend it's easy, but that's the way to do it. The feeling will go away once you get past that stage of not being able to think of anything else but food.
Okay, what about the 1%? And how do you find out which 1% apply to you?
It is a tough pill for someone like Musk to swallow. Having seeing your companies grow to such heights in part because of hard work you made and the brand value that your name has created.

It will be interesting to see the compromise he might be willing to take
Agreed. On the last product I worked on we had a custom UI with no translation/internationalization support and we ended up spending a total of 2 or 3 person-months adding the capability. But then there was also a huge amount of time we had to spend also giving the translators sufficient context to translate the UI because we kept getting inconsistent translations. And there were conflicting regulatory requirements for labeling and units in some places that we had to handle by displaying different assets.

We came to the conclusion that we could have spent a month implementing a tool for the translators and probably saved 2 or 3 months of back-and-forth and screenshotting.

While it's technically practical to architect for translation and internationalization, it's frequently out of scope for a first version of most products. If you're selling something for the US market, it's difficult to justify bumping your time-to-market to add support for something that you won't need for your first release. And that's not getting in to the additional complexity that it adds to the software system to have that support.

It's difficult for me to take someone seriously when they're making statements about internationalization not requiring any additional resources. It just tells me that they have no experience in any of the fields where it does require additional resources. And reading the article, I can see that the "experts" are all from web development companies where there's a framework that exists and you don't have to worry about justifying your use of Software of Unknown Pedigree to an auditor. Or where it doesn't really matter if your translation or internationalization framework doesn't work 100% of the time because it's unlikely to kill someone if a control on your UI is labeled incorrectly.

Nah I didn't TDD. I think you're right.
Yeah. Lots of hand waving in the piece because it was a choice between something I could write in a morning for a general audience or, frankly, not bothering to write anything at all.

A bakery formula is an acyclic directed graph running from top level “product” nodes (a loaf of bread, say) through one or more intermediate formulae until you reach basic ingredients. For a given set of orders, you need to work out how much of which ingredient to mix at each step in the process. If I were only working in, say six loaf batches, it’d probably be easier to use a ready reckoner approach, but it’s a tiny bakery and I’d rather not deal with the wastage so I only bake what’s ordered.

After about the third time I fucked up the pencil and paper calculations, I decided to automate (then at least the bad calculations were repeatable, and only needed fixing once).
Expecting a student to learn how to code at all, not to mention code well, from an academic/bootcamp setting, is an expensive fool's errand for anyone that hires them.

Programming is not academic. It has more in common with plumbing and carpentry and electrician work: you learn only by doing, and you learn how to do it well by doing with critical supervision from a mentor.
The solution I favor is the one that Musk agreed to in his legal settlement with the SEC: have a human review his tweets before he hits the post button. No additional software required. If Tesla wants, they can overengineer a solution like they did with the Alien Dreadnought, but there's a zero-cost solution already available to them.
I think the point is that this is almost encouraged in the node ecosystem, while in most other language ecosystems I know of it wouldn't be.

While you are correct that perception of time is subjective, I'm not referencing that phenomenon at all.

I'm talking about measuring reaction time or brain imaging studies.

For top athletes autopilot kicks in and reacts to the situation, then issues commands to our subconscious body control processes, which then issues nerve impulses to begin movement, all before the pilot (prefrontal cortex?) has even perceived the situation, let alone made any decisions. The autopilot knows how to do this via repeated trailing guided by the pilot function.

You can also observe this in brain imaging studies which can show the body reacting before any thought took place. If pressed people will invent a rational justification for their behavior but the brain images prove this is entirely post-hoc most of the time.

My theory is this is due to conscious thought being so much slower, but I don't have any proof.
> And self-defense?

Good point, being under threat is a third knob. Still very simple.

> or any of the dozens of other shades (car accidents?)?

Again, car "accidents" are always due to negligence somewhere, either mechanical failures making the manufacturer liable, or distraction on the part of a driver, or inebriation, etc. These are all very simple considerations that everyone understands.

> So two people getting in a fight in a bar and one unintentionally kills the other should receive the same sentence as car accident victim?

Killing someone in a bar fight is third degree murder, so I've already covered that. If your "car accident victim" had intent to cause harm with his vehicle, that's murder too.
I've gone as far as 20 days. It gets a little bit more difficult at 14+ days, but it's not terribly uncomfortable.

According to my observations, IQ correlates very well with the person being "smart" in a usual, common sense way.

100 would be an IQ of an average person.

130 is a rather smart person. Remember that guy in your class who could solve the problem in his head before it was written on the blackboard? That's probably him.

IQ of 85 is the lower limits for getting into the US army.

IQ of 70 is the official definition of being mentally retarded.

Does being smart correlate with economic success? Yes, up to some extent. Being too smart? Well, there's a chance most people around simply won't understand you, which is rarely good for career advancement.
#1 strongest correlation with lifetime earnings is IQ
#2 strongest correlation with lifetime earnings is conscientiousness (which is roughly half orderliness, and half industriousness --- also contains traits of dependability, my word is my bond)

I can't find a reference right this moment. Jordan Peterson talks about this a lot so it should be in 1 of his videos on Youtube.
Exactly!

It often takes more time to assess whether your system is truly vulnerable to a given public exploit than it takes to just grab a newer version of the component.

Also worth considering: getting pwned because of a 0day is no fun, but getting pwned because of an unpatched CVE in your system - priceless.
You get in a group.

If everybody around you feels as miserable, but they are not worried, it's way reassuring :) Bonus if you are in an isolated place making temptations hard.

Another thing is that you should avoid hard things in your first fast, such as working, reading complex material, filling administrative papers, etc. Take the time to rest, watch movies, listen to music, etc. The first two fasts I kept my job, and I didn't benefit as much as the next where I decided to take it easy.

Surprisingly, walking 2 to 3h a day helps a lot to feel less shitty, although you should not do it alone the first time you fast.

Once you are used to it, it does not necessarily because less shitty the next time. But you know what's up, and so it's easier.

One thing though, is that fat people and people with bad food habits will have a harder time.
So the app would need write permissions to its own folder. That's obviously a bad idea in a production deployment. I guess I was thinking that the dependencies would be installed during a privileged one-time "deployment run" so you wouldn't need the permissions after. Maybe I'm giving the thing too much credit.
