Musk has done amazing things but his amazing ability to take risk and leverage is something that prevents me from investing into his business. The tech he is business develops is here to stay but investors may not get the return they want. There is endless stream of new ideas while not delivering fully on the old ideas (for the investors).

Tesla bet it's financial future into being able to mass produce Model 3 profitably in large quantities. The amount of debt Tesla has prevents them from retreating into smaller scale luxury cars. When Model 3 is in trouble, lets move to the taxi-scheme.

They have to dilute the stocks again and again and current owners see less of the (possible) future profits.

There will be some kind of economic slowdown or correction in the next few years. Tesla has maybe one more financing round left until the music stops.

Quite, and I'm sure that many actually inquisitive students are shot down enough to beat the inquisitiveness out of them, on the errant assumption they are a smartass.

I'm also sure that a student who is one day asking a genuine question, is the next day beign a smart ass. I certainly used to do that.

You do realize that there are black people who do not live in the ghetto and whites who do, right? Being poor is not a problem exclusive to any given race.

At the same time, rural Appalachian whites have faced comparable socioeconomic exploitation. The historical mechanics of exploitation may differ, but the affect and outcome is the same.
Stalinism's typical name for itself is Marxism-Leninism, though. I don't think the etymologies make any sense, but when someone calls themselves a Marxist-Leninist, that is what they mean.

Every single time I've seen a public call for a code of tech ethics, the call is justified by discussing professional standards, but quickly switches to calling for legal entrenchment of the author's personal ethics.

On the blogs of notable programmers, best practices for security sit next to demands for closed-shop union membership. In comments sections (like this one), avoiding malicious dark patterns comes alongside demands that no programmer work for the US military. In the news, respecting user data is paired with enormously controversial positions on censorship and encryption.

This is far from the only reason codes of tech ethics have yet to gather major attention, but I think it would suffice even if the others disappear. Professional codes like the ACM's are valuable, but attempts to popularize and enforce them are derailed by attempts to add in specific personal ethics.

SLC's Olympics (at least, on the organizational side and after Romney took over from the previous organizers) were modeled after the LA 84 Olympics run by Peter Ueberroth. Prior to Romney's coup, the SLC Olympics were hemorrhaging money and deeply in the red.

Atlanta also used its Olympics to modernize the city, and much of that infrastructure still remains.

Surprisingly, LA in the past did not use the Olympics to modernize the city. Its bids were submitted on the basis of largely not building anything for the Games, because every time LA's bid on the Olympics, the Games have been out of favor due to the enormous costs of hosting. (For the 1932 games, LA was unopposed.) LA's success in hosting profitable Olympics without much building is, quite ironically, one of the biggest factors in other cities thinking that they could also host the Games.

I think that's the GP's point. It adds nothing relevant to the article but the author still mentions it for reasons which the GP is speculating about.
I'm lucky enough to have parents that both work in the medical industry. I had a pretty routine ear checkup in which the doctor decided to use an endoscope to confirm my sinuses weren't inflamed. I got a surprise ~$400 bill for that particular part of the procedure, the majority of which was not covered by my insurance. My parents both advised me to literally just ask for a break and see if it would work — allegedly it's successful more often than not. It's extremely upsetting to think of that sort of knowledge being required to navigate healthcare.
Something I've been thinking about lately, which is partially related to this subject, is which tech companies (not involved in direct weapons development) are responsible for the most employee deaths?

Apple - known for their involvement in Foxconn suicides (not direct involvement however).

Amazon - known for several deaths of warehouse employees and at least one person who jumped off a corporate building.

Facebook - Their users have used the platform to commit mass shootings and suicides but I don't think they have caused the death of any of their own employees.

Google - I don't think I'd point fault at them for the Youtube shooter, but it is something to note.

Uber - they've had a few employee suicides linked to their work life

Microsoft - also linked to several suicides.

I'm sure there's a lot more and this is only something I've briefly looked at recently while working on some other things. The biggest takeaway so far, is that Amazon appears to be the leader in killing their employees.

So much like how good Product Managers / Architects "spec-out" the system.

Because he wasn't? Bismark united Germany by waging wars against Austria, Denmark, and France. Once he gained the territory he wanted, he was careful not to punish these nations. He could have pulled a Napolean and taken over all of Europe.

He made it clear he was just trying to unite his people, not take over the world, and under Wilhelm I, this system was stable.

All of the major western nations were undergoing industrial militarization at this point, particularly with naval technology.

When Wilhelm II came into power, he removed Bismark whose sole goal at this point was managing peace in Europe.

At this point all of the tension was in the Balkans, Wilhelm was eyeing new conquests, the Serbians murdered the Austrian heir to the throne, and every major power thought they were God's chosen people. They also thought any new conflict would be short and sweet just as the recent Prussian wars had been. No one understood how new technology and tactics would change the dynamic of war.

Bismarck was chancellor until 1890 and died about 10 years later. WWI didn't start until about 25 years after he was no longer running the show. People had moved on from his notions of European peace and wanted to play with their new toys.

Additionally, the chancellor was elected by the nobility. It was not as if he could have handed the role down to a successor. He would have had to find someone that appeased the new king, a younger nobility, and the public at large who were quibbling over democracy vs a semi constitutional monarchy.

Bismarck's talent was uniting people and keeping them happy, even when not everyone got what they want. He was respected by his enemies because he illustrated that he was just trying to unify the remains of the Holy Roman Empire, a gelatinous blob of bickering principalities that had been central to European conflicts for hundreds of years. Unification finally stopped the bleeding, and Bismarck made it clear that he was after global stability, not conquest.

If you want to blame someone for WWI, there's not really one person you can point to. However Wilhelm II would fit that mold much better than Bismarck. If he had been alive and in power, he would not have wanted to start a massive war of attrition.
My theory is that it's going to work in the style of Zipcar, rather than Uber. The cars won't move without anyone in them, but you'll be able to reserve one, get in the drivers seat, and then it will drive you to your destination, presumably with human assistance should the autopilot disengage.
Yes of course you're correct. Any system of that kind is concurrent across its architecture. But the current context being considered is that of concurrency as a programming paradigm, which was established by the OP's observations on python's lack of concurrency which sparked the exchange. In the comment you quoted above the statement "none of the processes are concurrent" was meant to make the context clearer.
The irony is not lost on me ;)
You're saying the people that participated in the Unite the Right rally, who conspired to commit violence and escalate an already violent event and who were members of what is essentially a terrorist group were just defending themselves?

No, they weren't attacked. They were the aggressors. They have a history of being aggressors. They openly admit to being violent and aggressive.
Some evidence seems to suggest that it could negatively affect brain health. (See deficiencies in B12, Iron and Zinc.) I've even read anecdotes of people that have gotten diabetes going all wholefoods vegetarian.

My belief is that our biology is complex and specific to each individual to the point where we can't all share the same diet and expect the same effects on our bodies.

This is a New Yorker article, so it has a literary bent in terms of details and descriptions typical of long-form publication. That is what New Yorker subscribers want. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-form_journalism

For straight-to-the-science, Wikipedia or other publications are better.

There is a publication for most major preferences. I used to love the detail of The New Yorker when i was single and had lots of time (former paper subscriber here, and current consumer via Audm.)
Inspired by RGE and since pricingpages.xyz is dead, I felt this could be a fun project to build and an useful one.

Article: "Watching the footage of Neil Armstrong’s first steps, it takes a moment for one’s eyes to make sense of the low-resolution image"

As I understand it, the problem wasn't the video feed, it was the re-transmission for the global TV audience. The original video was then lost. Quoting from https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1200161/Apol... :

> Nasa believed they might contain electronic information that was down linked to a radio telescope in Australia from the moon and which could be converted into much sharper pictures of the landing than those broadcast on the day.

> 'The question is why didn’t someone see these 45 tapes as something special. Boy, do we wish they’d done that,' Nafzger said.

> The grainy images that the world saw in 1969 came from a TV camera pointed at a giant wall monitor at mission control, of a live feed from pictures sent by satellite from Australia to California and relayed by landline to Houston.

Article: "Mahoney believes that, because the space industry was a government-sanctioned monopoly for decades, there was no room for risk, or for competition; the fear of failure dominated."

How true is that, really? That is, how many astronauts will (eg.) SpaceX kill by accepting a higher risk level than NASA? Because NASA certainly had room for risk.
> You can't send a corporation to jail, but you can disband it entirely, or prevent it from operating

Just "disbanding" a corporation would be pointless. The shareholders (most likely, someone in senior management) could just purchase back (or replicate) the assets and keep going.

The proper ways to "kill" companies include revoking their licenses (see Arthur Anderson), fining them into bankruptcy and possibly liquidation and sanctioning them (for foreign SOEs). None seems to apply in this case, where a prohibition on federal contracting and securing an admission of guilt, which lets other customers who were harmed seek redress through the courts, seem to cover all bases.
This reminds me of propaganda from the environmentalism movement of the 70s, which sought to shift the blame for litter (increased use of disposable packaging) from corporations onto consumers. Yes individuals can take responsibility for their own actions by "voting with their wallet" etc. - not denying that. But in a democracy, if you'd rather fight for greater regulations on Big Ag than give up meat in your diet, that should be your choice and don't feel ashamed about it.
Trends and Opportunities in the News Industry
Agreed. In fact, I think it's impossible to get useful evidence for any causal relationships between the founding team and success of a company, because there are feedback loops and confounds everywhere.

Here's an example of feedback loops. Suppose investors are biased against young founders. When you look at outcomes, you'll see a higher success rate from the young founders that do get funded because they had a higher bar to overcome the bias. And, of course, investor biases are (mostly) the result of historical outcomes. So eventually investors will become biased in favor of young founders, and the bar for funding will be lower, and you'll have a lower success rate. The system creates a time-delayed (by a decade or so) negative feedback loop that maintains a rough homeostasis of success rate for every kind of company.

Economists realized long ago that you can't predict stock market movements by looking at fundamentals, because all the other investors are looking at the same fundamentals, so the consensus is already priced in. This seems study has the same problem, in addition to a data set several orders of magnitude smaller. Don't change your plan based on any such study.

Respectfully disagree. I think vim's help documentation is quite good. The inbuilt reference is extensive and with examples as well.

Perhaps it's navigating the :help window you find cumbersome?
In this instance it might be because there are is no penalty for running afoul of the obligations:

> Updated laws on clinical trials that are not expected to become legally binding until 2020 specify that there should be penalties for institutions that don’t comply with the rules.

If following the rules was a mandatory requirement for further funding for the same institution, I am sure they would update their internal policies in an eyeblink.
