The price would collapse from excessive supply before the mining costs could be recouped.

Though there are companies seriously considering mining asteroids, they're supposedly cheaper than the Moon because they have no appreciable gravity.
I have to say that format-patch and am workflow is really handy, even when working alone. (Say you want to test a commit on multiple dev machines but you're not sure if you're ready to push to a remote, as an example.) The flexibility to store or transmit a commit in patch form apart from .git or the remote, then seamlessly add it to the history, is a good thing.
It's the business of the shareholders first and foremost. The board of directors and CEO have ZERO reason to think anything related to executive compensation won't be made public.

If the company is public, then the company has the obligation to truthfully and accurately represent itself to prospective shareholders (who can be anyone, i.e. "the public").

CEO is a very different role than athlete or actor, from responsibility to elasticity of demand for their labor and I think comparing the two is a false-dichotomy.

Edit: What you're bringing up is actually one of the cruxes of our problems here in America, management no longer owns any significant portion of the company they manage. There is almost zero incentive to behave in a way that promotes long-term success; instead, it's better to optimize for quarterly returns so you hit your bonuses and eventually move on leaving all the shit to the next person.

When ownership of a business has no power over its management, bad things happen.
Dividends and buybacks both indicate that the company is willing to return cash to shareholders. One big difference is that dividends are typically a long-term commitment to returning cash (unless it's a "special dividend"), whereas buybacks are more ad-hoc. The other difference is that buybacks imply an opinion that the stock is undervalued, whereas dividends are agnostic about valuation. In most cases, buybacks seem to be motivated by the former difference more than the latter. However, some companies like Berkshire are more principled about valuation driving buyback decisions.

I would disagree with your point about stock issuance suggesting belief in the company. Issuing stock is usually a negative signal that not only is your company struggling with cash flow, but it can't issue debt at a reasonable cost. (Startups issue equity because it is difficult to borrow at such a risky stage of the company, but more established companies like Tesla issuing equity is usually a sign of difficulties with cash flow.) Read up on cost of equity vs cost of debt for more info.
If “zuckerberg is a socialist” counts as a good complaint I shudder to think of what you would consider a bad one.
Good to hear it works for you. I'm honestly surprised, though. I tried something like this on myself 10 years ago, during my university years - but I quickly discovered that not having Internet at home makes it hard to to get anything done (computer science studies, though) and keep up-to-date with university matters. It also disconnected me socially from other students. I abandoned this after ~a year, because the only thing it did was a) making me almost live on the campus by necessity, b) making life slightly more annoying for other people in the house.

That was 10 years ago. I suppose today the social disconnection would be even more pronounced. So I have to ask: do you live in a small town or a large one? Are your kids pre-school/primary school aged? Are your and your spouse's professions outside of the technical or Internet-requiring fields?
Hate*, not here :)

You can't compare stories that way because it's not nearly just about vote/time. In any case, the previous story tripped the overheated discussion detector which we've just turned off so it's on the second page now.
Is there any reason we aren't taxing capital gains at the same rate as income?
This sounds very sustainable and rational.

Are most Americans cutting the cord on landlines?
> which in many ways makes me think about the fact that a lot of it is not far from privatized basic income.

Research grants also fit that description quite nicely.
Absolute equality of outcome is definitely not a good idea.

But workers should have some sort of compensation for success of the company. If the company releases a new product and it triples the value of the company, the workers should see some sort of bonus for the value they created. Leadership is a tough job, and CEOs take on risk, but without the grunt workers the company has nothing.

To be clear, I'm not expecting equality, but the wealth gap shouldn't be as gaping as it is.
That's content marketing 101: You write about a general trend and you give a few well-known examples plus your own product. It's very common on Medium and LinkedIn.

"25% of Americans simply make no money and are going to starve" is the reading the press wants us to make to make us click. The truth is probably closer to what you say.
This is a great summary of why we shouldn't be reading news. If it's not credible, it's just entertainment. But if we forget that it's entertainment, and we usually do, then we are by definition taking it seriously again.
How the buttons that are always there cumbersome?

I personally don't like gestures. You have to remember and get used to them. Then suddenly in a major update they will change everything to new "cooler" gesture, re-learn and get used to it again. Year after year that happens.

Compare that to buttons. You can always see them, so no need to remember anything. Older people also able to use them.

Of course new shiny mobile os have mixed both together and now we are guinea pigs of modern UI.
Softbank going all in on ARM at this late stage of the game seemed a little on the goofy side. I didn't know they were into real estate. Isn't it kind of a bad idea to buy real estate, but not be structured like a REIT since you'd lose tax advantages? Then again, I don't know how it works in Japan. I just know I've been suspicious of Softbank ever since they put a ton of money into Yahoo, and I haven't seen any evidence countering this admitted bias.

Ok - so you have just made the claim that most people could do a startup.

That’s much better than PG, and doesn’t fall into the category error because instead of a yes/no, you are talking about a continuum and you have made a claim about one of the bounds.

Your claim is that at least 50% of people are above the level of poverty required to succeed at a startup.

If true this would be very informative guidance.

So - can you justify your claim with any data at all?
This.

Advice that is the equivalent to "wait and see" can be thought of as, not only wrong, but actively working against the candidate.

So you do all that upfront legwork, jump through a bunch fo hoops and only for offer is well below expectations. If you knew this number at the start you would have politely declined but now you find yourself in a sunk cost conundrum and say yes when you really should be saying no.
I see your point. I alluded to a similar idea in an older draft which suggests that bazaar/cathedral style is a spectrum, with most projects not falling entirely within either camp, but clearly having more elements of one model than others.

I think that GitHub actively encourages the cathedral model, though. It is possible to use either style on either platform, but the fork/PR model seems to me to be explicitly designed to strongly favor the cathedral model - to the benefit of GitHub's centralization goals, even if obliquely.
"Restriction on the programmer"

as in "it is the programmer's job to make sure this doesn't happen". That's an anti-feature, aka "bug".
"Plant foods are vastly more nutritious than animal sources."

Well, the question I responded to was about inexpensive nutrient-dense foods. Based on this organ meats, eggs and fish/shellfish beats plant foods all to hell.

"Where is the fiber..."

Fiber is nutrient-dense? Nope, it's not. It's not even digestible by the body. Why start out a criticism by leading with your worst card? Let's move on to the rest of your hand...

"Or the vast array of phytochemicals, polyphenols/flavonoids"

What value do these supply? Serious question. I know there is a lot of interest in them as an area of study, but they sound like the hope/hype behind anti-oxidants, for which the science has not panned-out favorably.

"the WHO has recently pointed out that processed/red meat is carcinogenic."

Their recommendation is based on epidemiological surveys, not randomized control trials. I could just as easily point to studies showing higher cancer rates of vegetarians [0] versus meat eaters. But it doesn't matter, because virtually all nutrition studies are based on questionnaires where they ask "How much steak did you eat last week?" or "What percentage of your total diet was leafy greens last month?" which is about as reliable as you might expect. It is extremely difficult to arrive at meaningful conclusions from epidemiological studies, because there are so many built-in confounders and biases. Even then, the associations are extremely weak (For comparison, the p-value of relative risk for smoking causing lung cancer is: 8.96. The p-value of meat causing cancer is... 1.5. [1] Values under 2.0 are typically considered tenuous/weak.). It's fairly ridiculous to believe that animal flesh, something that has been a major component of our diet since pre-human times (2 million years +) is detrimental to our health. By contrast, humans incorporated more plants and grains in the last 12k years-- relatively recent, about 350 generations ago from an evolutionary perspective.

"I don't think you understand what "nutrient density" means."

Sure I do. I _also_ bothered to read the definition put forward by the poster I was responding to [2]. Thanks for the link to your preferred nutrition expert, Dr. Furhman, but I'll pass-- by all appearances the guy is an alt-science (veggies cure cancer!!) anti-vaxx detoxification quack [3].

Look, I replied to a post about cheap (but healthy) nutrient-dense foods. I wasn't trying to trigger the plant-based religious fanatics. I never told anyone not to eat plants, and I think everyone should experiment and keep pushing to find what works for their personal health. Over the last 6-8 years I've done mediterranean (DASH), vegetarian, keto, and paleo/carnivore.

I'm happy to continue the conversation but I think you're the one who could benefit from a bit more homework, particularly on the specific question I was replying to.

Maybe in the context of this article, but that's not what it logically means.
Good to see some wholesome content
It would be awesome if this problem was solved under Microsoft's ownership, it seems like the kind of challenge that could benefit from the resources of a giant firm, and of course promote Azure somehow. Code exactly duplicated from the parent repository could be excluded, so when you're searching Github you'd really be searching all of Github.
There should definitely be limits to what advertising is allowed to do and what spaces its allowed to use.

Advertising, however, survives only because it finds the people interested in the products. When the government does it, it survives on people that pay for it at the risk of going to jail. The standard of what government can do is infinitely higher, because it can do something against everyone and do it forever.
Encryption will only become more important as information systems flood the world with (meta)-data. We need dynamic P2P architectures and open standards to prevent the extraction of personal information for profit and surveillance.

“Spend other people’s money” is a really weird way to put it IMO - people chose to invest in the company because they thought it was a good investment. Investors would rather have the stock than the cash they paid for it. When the company does a buyback, the shareholder investment in the company becomes more concentrated. Each share represents more stock and less cash, making it possible to construct a higher-equity lower-cash portfolio. This more purely fulfills the investor’s revealed preference of owning the stock. If they change their mind, they can always sell.
If your dashboards have so many panels that lazy loading is important, you need to reconsider your dashboard design. Endlessly scrolling to find the panel you're interested in makes for a painful user experience, and it makes it harder to compare series across panels.

I aim to keep dashboards no larger than what can be displayed in a single window on a desktop, with perhaps some supplementary plots below, often in a collapsed row. I make heavy use of "drill-down" links, preferably from tables or single-stats (or more often the "status panel" for denser displays [1]), or in panel notes otherwise, to dive further into the data.

When designing a dashboard, I ask myself "what story is this dashboard going to tell?", and as with a good novel I try to keep from straying too far from that narrative, branching side-plots out into new dashboards as needed.

Except that as a vegan you will need to take supplements in order to fill many of the nutrient gaps in the diet.

Very noble diet/ethos for many reasons, but it is not optimized for nutrition, it's optimized for other goals.

If you are the type of worker who can enable a company to triple it's value you likely are well compensated already, if you aren't paid well I'd suggest checking with your employers competitors to see if they too would like to triple their value and just how much it's worth to them.

If after that search you find no one willing to pay you more perhaps consider if you really are so pivotal to the companies success.
Sadly this is not just limited to news.You dont need to go very far , here in HN I have experienced plenty of times. There are still very valid comments, and thanks God for that, but I think they are a much smaller proportion of what most of us suppose.
Wasn't there that Michigan Supreme Court decision that states that was precisely the purpose of a company -- to maximize shareholder value?
We've been doing OKRs at my employer for a while. It's always really difficult for the development team to come up with ideas because we know that there's a higher than average chance that we'll get pulled to work on something that's unrelated to the OKRs we've come up with; and while everyone says we're not being judged on our OKRs, _someone_ is keeping track, otherwise they're not really useful.

I'll be reading and re-reading this article for a while.
When I was in junior school, a goat (named Billy, of course) used to stay in a part of a garden which was really steep. One day I happened to stroll in, and before I knew it, there was Billy between me and the gate. He had the beadiest little yellow eyes and he proceeded to lower his head and aim is horns at me, as he accelerated toward me on a narrow ledge. I ran out of fear and before I knew what was happening, I found I was flying down the steep slope, landing at the very bottom. I have no idea how nothing happened to me, but that day I learned first hand about how fear lends you wings. I've never forgotten Billy (it's now part of our family lore and I even took my daughters to my old school and the very place all this happened) though I never bore a grudge against Billy or goats in general.
It is true. The company is owned by its shareholders, collectively.

There's no problem with returning capital to shareholders. There is a problem when shareholders just plow it back into index funds. Does Apple have a better use of money than shareholders? Well, there are investments available to Apple that aren't even available to shareholders, so on the face of it, how could they not?

Therefore the issue isn't so much Apple not being able to find better opportunities than shareholders, but that it can't find better opportunities than Apple -- making those actually good investments would look bad for Apple because of how absurdly profitable it is. That's not a good reason to return capital, if you think about it carefully.
Exactly. A truly intelligent species doesn't put all its eggs in one basket. Plus, a truly intelligent species knows that expansion (in population) is good for the survival of the species and civilization, and the way to get more resources and space is to go to space and acquire resources there and also learn to live there.

The dinosaurs are a good example of a group of species that weren't far-sighted enough to invest in a serious space exploration and settlement program.
Credit is having the ability to obtain debt. Once you use the credit, you have debt, regardless of when or if you pay it off.
As all the comments in the article suggest, there is nothing to see here.

A single legislator proposing an idea that will never get support isn't really the equivalent of "germany talking" in my book.

Politicians in every country submit crazy legislation that never goes anywhere.

This is just clickbait.
There a lot of asset packs available for adobe illustrator. It would surprise me if there weren’t biomedical asset packs available. In fact in all likelihood this piece of software probably uses assets created in illustrator. I agree that this is targeted to a different audience, I just think that the price is off.
I think "covering up gangrene" works well with the band-aid analogy
We have them all over the place in Michigan. I specifically asked my friend who's a civil engineer with the county road commision when some were being installed just down the road from my house why they were being added. I was personally concerned at the prospect of red light cameras, which are currently banned in the state.

The explanation was that they were updating the stoplight controls. One of the inductive sensors in the road had failed, and it was cheaper to have a guy in a bucket truck stick a couple cameras on the pole than to rip up the road.
The cameras are used to see the volume of vehicles in each lane and dynamically adjust light timings. And since I drive through the intersection multiple times a day, I have noticed an improvement. They skip the left turn sequence if no one is waiting, and rarely have a big backup when volume is high in one direction for the commute. Also, the left turn timer used to be very short (like 2 cars making it through on green, one on yellow, and the 4th car often took control and went on red), which was nice when there was only one car and you wanted to go straight, but annoying when you were one of 6 or 7 cars in line and an extra five seconds would let everyone make the turn but instead you had to wait through multiple light cycles. Now it seems to often hold the turn cycle long enough to let the whole line empty out.

But I totally agree that the idea of a soft update to either issue red light tickets or track license plate activity is extremely concerning. Might end up with a stray paintball from my backyard accidentally hitting the lens if they make that a policy change.
Why Digital Marketing Is So Important to Reach the Audience You Want
> Facebook is acting in the service of food and beverage industry interests by deleting the accounts of communities that have identified the corrupted nutritional science responsible for unchecked global chronic disease. In this, it follows the practices of Wikipedia and other private platforms that host public content but retain the ability to remove or silence—without the opportunity for real debate or appeal—information and perspectives outside a narrow scope of belief or thought. In this case, the approved perspective has resulted in the deaths of millions through preventable diseases. Facebook is thus complicit in the global chronic disease crisis.

If people can believe this about Facebook, why can they not believe it in the context, of say, CNN or Fox News?

Similarly, our education system preaches how great Democracy is. Is Democracy great? Why must young children be taught the tenets of our civilization, and who stands to gain the most from this indoctrination?

Honestly, I can't recommend the GBASP enough. It's small, it has a lot of power for a handheld of that era (enough to pull off texture-mapped polygonal graphics at an acceptable frame rate) and the addressable ROM size is practically limitless, going all the way to 64 MB.
