I understand how all that works, but the reality is that the number of transactions that actually involve a company giving someone shares in exchange for cash is vanishingly small compared to the total number of stock trades that happen. Some quick Googling indicates that in the first quarter of 2019, startups raised about $30b. Also according to some quick Googling, in 2013, the NYSE did about $170b per DAY of trading. Obviously that $30b number isn't close to all the capital raised by companies in that time period, but neither is the NYSE the only place where stocks are trading hands. The vast, vast majority of transactions do not involve a company raising money.

And just a minor quibble, a more accurate stock price doesn't always lower the cost to a particular company of raising money. It makes the market more efficient over all, for sure, but often companies would prefer a less accurate (ie, higher) stock price for the purposes of raising money.

Needless to say, I'm not convinced that this kind of volume is necessary to get most of the benefit of the stock market as a price discovery mechanism. I'm not saying anything needs to change, I'm just not sure it's such a huge public good.
On most items, I am offered either $1 off a digital product or $5 off a PrimePantry order (Amazon's choice which to offer on the page). I often take the digital offer, rarely the Pantry offer.

Tip: If you are ordering multiple things, you can often order N-1 of them with the delayed shipping offer and then order the last one with 2-day shipping and you'll often get the orders all picked and shipped together. (It's far from guaranteed, but seems to happen about 50% of the time, so you get the discounted digital offer and still get the items shipped efficiently and quickly.)
Maybe GP meant that jq can do selection as well, i.e. that grepping is redundant after jq. But jq is much more complicated to learn and grep works on all inputs (not just json), so it makes a lot more sense to learn and use grep properly.
I don't think that leading period is redundant. It indicates that the top-level value is an object, as opposed to an array or some basic value.
Nobody is talking about Citizens United (other than the people dragging it into the conversation just to point out that Citizens United is irrelevant).

Corporations already have the rights of people, because when corporations do crimes, the corporation, and not the people who constitute the corporation, is held legally responsible. What we are objecting to is that corporations are exempt from forms of punishment that are applied to natural persons. Either figure out how to make the punishment apply to corporations, remove that form of punishment from consideration for natural persons, or ignore the corporation for legal purposes and punish the humans behind the abstraction layer. It's pretty straightforward.
> js seems to already have a bytecode for their JIT runtime

This is kind of a nonsensical statement. JS itself doesn't have a bytecode, it's just a specification of the language you write scripts in.

Each implementation has its own intermediate representations, including bytecode formats.

WASM is a vendor-neutral standard that is designed as a compilation target and designed with safety in mind.

SpiderMonkey/JSC/V8 internal bytecode formats are just that, compiler internals.
That might help, but it's not quite the same as a nice summer breeze flowing through your house.

Using classes at all is unnecessary for most R users. R is really, to the extent that paradigms matter to the average R user at all (which is: not much) a functional-first language. The idiomatic way to deal with the things you would use classes for is to use functions and closures. There are people who need objects in R, which is why R has object systems available, but it is of no help to a beginner to know them -- it doesn't help them to interact with the code they are going to see, and they don't have the background to understand why you would use classes instead of functions.

I think this is a Ruby thing more than a dynamic languages thing. (Not exclusively a Ruby thing mind; Javascript code is also always full of weird edge cases and gotchas.)

I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, but I have written 500-line Python programs without executing/testing any functions along the way, that “just worked” the first time I ran them with no serious bugs. And not because I am especially clever or have an amazing memory or unusual attention to detail, but just because the code is easy to make clear and straightforward.

(But this was just with basic data types and a few standard library modules; dealing with other people’s poorly documented / confusing APIs makes this gets a lot harder.)
You might even luck out with those heuristics. Simulated annealing often results in the shortest/best/lowest-energy-state solution by accident.
I think the slope helps a lot. If you look at a lot of homes in areas that get a lot of snow, they’re sloped so the snow slides off. Glass would probably help this too.

My parents owned a flat roof home briefly and had to shovel it.
jq seems very powerful. I don't deal with json all that often and my most common use case (by far) is `jq '.' -C` and it took a few tries for me to remember that syntax.

The idea of flattening, grepping, then reverting sounds very appealing and sounds like a better fit for me.

There are plenty of video interviews where Musk himself shows using auto pilot with his hands off the wheel.
My impression is that most non-pilots think that autopilot is a lot more sophisticated than it really is.

People hear things like "planes can basically land themselves" which is sort-of-true, and they think the planes can actually land themselves when the reality is that the pilots need to set up ILS properly, make sure the engine thrust is at a reasonable level, do the proper communication with Air Traffic Control, and only then (maybe) can the plane land itself.

Note: I'm not actually a pilot, so my details on landing with ILS might be a bit off.

I always carry little notebooks that are for songwriting, general notes, grocery lists, and anything else that comes to mind.

Drawing notebooks, books full of notes on non-fiction books and videos, clipboards with graph+plain paper, voice memos, and a huge amount of random note apps and websites.

For collaborative projects I usually write a markdown file while I'm doing something worth documenting. Easier distribution to team members.

Interested to try a physical notebook for a personal project though. A progress dairy of sorts.

So I take it it's NOT okay to take your hands off the wheel with Tesla Autopilot? I am not familiar with the technology.

The Tesla page on it (https://www.tesla.com/autopilot) takes a while to get to describing what it does, but then says, among other things:

> Autopilot enables your car to steer, accelerate and brake automatically within its lane.

And:

> With the new Tesla Vision cameras, sensors and computing power, your Tesla will navigate tighter, more complex roads.

So it's steering... but you're supposed to leave your hands on the wheel anyway? But not actually steering, just resting there just in case? I'm not sure how realistic this is in terms of human behavior. To their credit, the page, at least as of this moment, also says:

> Current Autopilot features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous.

Reading just the web page, if you asked me "So, do you need to leave your hands on the wheel when autopilot is engaged on the freeway", I'd be unsure. Does "active driver supervision" mean "hands on the wheel"?

In general, it is very hard for humans to keep paying close attention to something they aren't involved in actually actively controlling, "just in case." I'm not sure if there's a way for this technology to be safe, if that's what it depends on to be safe. (not unique to Tesla).

This is a phenomenon known as “journalism”.
The CEO of NPM, a startup that provides a crucial service for 11 million developers, told employees that it’s secured a deal that removes ‘the threat of running out of money’ until early 2020

On June 7, NPM CEO Bryan Bogensberger told employees in an internal Slack message that the company had reached a deal with its board of directors to provide enough funding to take it through at least the first quarter of 2020.
He also implied that NPM had faced the possibility of running out of money, saying: “This is absolutely the best of both worlds because we can run a proper raise process without the threat of running out of money and with the full support of the board.”
NPM is a small company with about 50 employees, but nonetheless provides a crucial JavaScript programming tool to some 11 million developers.
This look into NPM’s financial situation comes about a month after 17 employees wrote an internal letter demanding better working conditions and criticizing management’s lack of financial transparency, in the wake of a controversial layoff at the company.

NPM, a company that provides an important JavaScript tool to 11 million developers, has secured a commitment from its board of directors for enough funding to take it through the first quarter of 2020, CEO Bryan Bogensberger announced to employees.

Bogensberger told employees in an internal Slack message on June 7 that the company has until the end of July to take the offer. In the interim, he said, NPM leadership is being encouraged by the board to continue the fundraising process with outside investors. He also implied that NPM had faced risks of running out of money.

“This is absolutely the best of both worlds because we can run a proper raise process without the threat of running out of money and with the full support of the board,” Bogensberger wrote to employees.

That is definitely true for me. I have pretty much stopped going to theaters. At least if I watch a movie at home I can take a break whenever I want. Which might be turning it off and finishing it several days later. Streaming TV just makes this even easier and feel more natural by providing predefined breaks.

I'm horribly amused by this article. You constantly see C programmers working around that mess of a language like this and so constantly see these glaring flaws appear as if from the ether, almost as if it's a natural consequence of programming.

Meanwhile, Ada has Interfaces.Fortran for actually interfacing with the language and doing it correctly. Fools will tell you C is the backbone of civilization and everything interfaces with it, but this is yet another example of how they're wrong.

It might be interesting. And maybe a common theme would emerge why those four fictional books got never published. It might be a bit like "Cloud Atlas" where the different stories are connected in a way that becomes apparent only in the end.

This is entirely a defeatist mentality. I don't think there is any evidence to show that neurochemistry causes determinism, which is essentially what you are suggesting.

But let's assume it is true (which I don't think it is). Is it mentally healthy to go around saying "well fuck it, I'm just this way because I was born this way".

I do believe you can change yourself. Neurochemistry definitely plays a role in your ability to (luck). But having this defeatist mentality means you'll never attempt it. I would even argue that this comment should hint at some evolutionary benefit of getting down trodden.

I agree about the ergonomics.

Another aspect of that which I have noticed is that so many fans of dynamic languages refuse to use IDEs. They'll even state it simply as "I don't want to use a language that makes me use an IDE". For me, the IDE is like a second part of my brain. I use Eclipse which does incremental compile at every keystroke and I see errors, warnings, autocompletes, hints etc in real time. This removes a huge amount of the ergonomic barrier they are talking about (having to save your file, run a compiler, only then see the errors, then find that line in the file, etc ...). But they are stuck at "I don't want to use an IDE" ....

You're still in a car-centric mindset. What I have in mind are non-car transit alternatives, like walking, biking, e-biking, e-scooters, light rail, heavy rail, etc.

Even if the cars are fully electric, they're still dangerous as you point out (until the time they become fully self-driving). So it's best to eliminate as many of them as possible. And a simple tool to do so is to increase taxes on all for-hire vehicle rides, thus targeting taxis and rideshares equally.
> Taiwan situation is way different than Hong Kong

It is. But re-integration remains a goal for Beijing. If not realistically, then at least politically.

The more aggressive Xi has been with Hong Kong, the more Taiwan has stiffened. Rolling tanks into Hong Kong would give Taiwan legitimate cover for being supplied weapons. For a variety of reasons, China doesn’t want that. That, in turn, gives the protesters leverage.
