Entire textbooks have been written about the corporate treasury or cash management function. Briefly, large companies try to keep as little money as possible in deposit accounts at banks; the rest goes into investments, selected for risk, return, and liquidity consistent with the company’s forecast of its cash requirements.

This may not have much to do with the article you read, however. When it’s said that a company has put an amount of money aside, it often means that the company has recorded a liability in that amount on its balance sheet, or that it plans to spend that amount in the future. Nothing about where the company is keeping the money, if it even has the money, may have changed.

Ironically, the details of companies’ cash management systems are revealed in bankruptcy filings, since the debtor company has to ask for court permission to keep using its existing bank accounts. For example, here’s a motion from PG&E Corporation, the large California utility holding company, with diagrams of its bank accounts and a copy of its investment policy:

Their host is non-responsive and is apparently based in the Netherlands. The people behind the site itself are anonymous, but I highly doubt they're in the US. In order to even attempt to find them we would need a court order against either Namecheap or Quasinetworks, and I expect all we would find is that they paid in Bitcoin and gave fake info.

We could report to the AGs in states where their known targets reside though; perhaps that would be another avenue to potentially get Namecheap to take down the domain.

Edit: also to clarify, it's not that they're stealing our name to run a competing business. They're using our name to straight up steal money from people. Not something we want to try and out-compete them at!

Inflation takes wealth from savers and people on fixed annuities (such as pensions) and transfers it to spendthrifts and fools who took on loans they're not able to pay. This proposal is quite asinine, so it must be rather popular.

The project’s been going for a while now, and I haven’t heard of anyone confusing License Zero, or one of the public licenses it stewards, for CC0.

I think there is something to the notion that there should be schools which are inclusive to students who would struggle under teachers like this.

I just don't see why that school should be Duke University. I don't understand why the most elite schools seem to be among the most likely to decide that their students need protection from harm. Polarizing teachers seem like they should be right in an elite universities wheelhouse.
To be fair, they tried to raise money mostly to fund BFR development, which is a questionable economic investment for people expecting a decent ROI (although it's a fantastic overall future investment for humanity as a whole). If they tried to raise money specifically for micro satellite internet, on the other hand, I think investors would be more favorable.

asus vivobook s15 is awesome. very light weight laptop with high end spec. I am using it over a year without a single issue. dual boot with windows and linux. put both os and important work in ssd. new ubuntu/mint boots almost in 3-4 seconds.

also if you switch between OSs, make sure to shut down windows machines properly using something like 'shutdown /s /f /t 0'. During installation, you need to tweak some bios settings to stop windows hibernating.

in modern ultra-slim laptops, battery is soldered. If you want removable battery, size and weight will be increased.
asus laptop builds are not completely sturdy. you need to be a little careful but overall it is indeed a very good machine in given price.

Green New Deal: How much does fixing climate change cost the US?
Saul Griffith: "what, then, is a reasonable and defensible cost estimate for a GND that focuses specifically on solving climate change and decarbonizing the economy? ... the price tag for complete decarbonization is reasonable, and doesn’t rely on a miracle cure. It is doable starting now, and most likely will not cost us money but in fact, save us money. We’ll see it is a capital cost challenge in the short term with a long-term payback as we won’t have to supply expensive fossil fuels to the system in the future."

Agreed. The Economist has a bias towards free markets and free press but they are clear on those points. They do a lot of things to stay as unbiased as possible, like avoiding attaching a single name to a byline for a story.

Even Karl Marx read The Economist, for what it’s worth.
I doubt that will happen. The paradigm shift for a “smart” car vs just a car is nothing like a flip phone vs a smart phone.

Besides being able to drive you home when you’re drunk, what can you smart car do for you that you couldn’t already do with a regular car? Cruise for parking? These are just minor conveniences and for large swathes of the population, they’re likely not welcome either.
I don't mind phrases like 'that being said', aside from the general critique of cliche-repetition.

To me it carries connotations of the first clause having validity while the second apparently contrasting point also has validity. Its specific purpose is to allow a connection between points, without explicitly eliminating or contradicting any of the clauses.

Using 'however' or 'but' lacks this contextualisation, and that's without getting into the criticisms of their use is popular speech and writing (i.e. when someone says two clauses of the form 'A, but B.' what they usually mean is 'B').

Yes, of course that is true. It doesn't change the fact that it is considered a common courtesy, and a sign of quality writing, to define any unusual terms like this when you first mention them.

It's the same principle as writing readable, self explanatory code. You write your article once, but you hope that many thousands of of people, with all different levels of experience, will read it. If you can take a few minutes to save thousands of readers a minute or two each, that is a big win.

If you really want to do it right, you can link to those Wikipedia articles when you introduce the terms. After all, your reader may be on a mobile device on the bus, where it is easier to tap a link than to copy and paste or retype the term to find out what it means.
> Often these errors stem from systematic biases in our society ...

Depending on the what the appropriate quantification of 'often' is, that might make sense. Do we have enough reason to believe it would take on a high enough value to merit the usage of a term that refers only to it?

The other problem with what you're describing is that all we actually know is that the model is reflecting the current state of things. Your statement attributes particular causes to the current state of things, and implies a certain valuation of the current state of things (which I don't personally disagree with, necessarily—but I don't think my personal views should be reflected in scientific/engineering jargon).

So given the uncertain value of 'often,' and the unsettled nature of the causes behind various aspects of the 'current state of things,' it seems to be solidly jumping the gun to frame the entire general problem with a term that refers to this partial and fraught aspect of it.
That's nice. The OP is right.

We can also agree that your suggestion that non-Africans and The West aren't guilty as hell for raping Africa for centuries is either outright racism, or outright stupidity.

They're not conflicting because they refer to different senses of quality, in my estimation. Tesla's models can be said to lack in quality by design (materials, luxury features) compared to German and especially Japanese cars at a similar price point. The German cars generally lack in quality in terms of longevity and robustness, statistically and anecdotally.

Instead of going through great expenses to try to do surveillance on individual phones, they should just focus on how to get that data from these American companies that already have them.

I can't fathom insurance companies seriously and sincerely wanting to offer insurance policies for infosec. I know they do. But it doesn't make sense to me.

1. The attack surface for any organization is so hard to defend that insurance companies would probably have to pay out a lot more than for other types of insurance policies.

2. In an age that is increasingly tech and data-driven, the value of data becomes larger and larger. Hence, the payout starts to get really expensive. I find it difficult to imagine what kind of insurance premiums could be charged to customers that are both affordable to the customer and also properly covers the risk the insurer is taking on.

3. Insurance companies are going to have to become infosec experts in order to properly assess the risk of their clients. Are they up for that? There's such a shortage of infosec workers already, or am I being fed a load of crap by HN? Where would they find capable infosec experts to do these assessments before quoting the client for an insurance policy? War for talent isn't easy.

I think this would all end up making insurance policies extremely expensive and unprofitable for the insurance firms. Yes, I hope that this makes organizations more serious about infosec, but I honestly don't see that happening so long as the average joe is not outraged whenever a service they use gets breached.
I think that React is like 90% of the way there and you would just need to mess around with the VDOM a bit for this.

To be honest, given that web render output is a tree instead of flat "render to screen" stuff, writing a nice immediate mode GUI is not obvious.

If you're... very clever you could take React and the State stuff, at least conceptually, and get what you want here.
Short list...

1) Stop making ridiculous promises about self-driving capabilities.

2) Stop giving out timelines that everyone knows aren't going to be hit for every single model.

3) Get production quality under control. Seriously, a stupid percentage of Model 3s are getting handed to customers with defects that would keep them from even making it out of the factory at any other OEM.

4) Get aftermarket logistics figured out so people aren't waiting months for their cars to get repaired.

5) Stop flip-flopping on sales models. Is Tesla selling via brick and mortar stores or not? Is it using low pressure guidance-oriented sales or calling up customers with pre-orders trying to pressure them into upgrading to a more expensive configuration? Is their pricing fixed or going to drop another $1,000 next month?

6) Stop treating employees like churnable garbage. I work in the auto industry and the number of ex-Tesla employees floating around who got burned out or sick of political bullshit in record time is astounding in comparison to every other OEM.

7) Stop treating driver safety as a suggestion. I mean that in the broad sense, not in the mechanical engineering sense. Ex. autopilot should never have been released in any capacity that allowed drivers to take a nap or read a book while the car happily plowed into a semi-truck or median.
People have been predicting failure for Tesla since the beginning.

At each stage saying they’d fail and not be able to execute. Every time so far they’ve been wrong.

I like my model 3 a lot so I’d recommend one - I don’t think the people speculating on Tesla are particularly good at it.

This wasn't reported much, but Tesla also expanded their ABL (Asset Based Lending) credit agreement by $500M in March 2019: https://ir.tesla.com/node/19561/html

Without that, they would have $500M less cash on hand. They shipped half of their cars in the final 10 days of Q1. Finances must have been pretty tight at the start of March. That was around the time they announced they are closing all stores, firing sales personnel, and in general tightening the belt significantly. They also had the Model Y reveal in the middle of March, presumably to raise capital via deposits. Cutting prices multiple times towards the end of March must have helped to move a lot of metal, at the expense of gross margin.

Speaking of the Model Y, I also found it suspicious that on the conference call Elon Musk wouldn't divulge the number of deposits. When the Model 3 deposits were skyrocketing he talked about the reservation count frequently. I can only suspect that the number of Model Y deposits isn't so impressive.
