I don't believe that the stock market is efficient in the way you are suggesting.

For one thing, there are lots of companies I can buy into that Warren Buffet can't, because he can't take a meaningful (to him) position, because he would end up owning the entire company. And even that may not be enough to be meaningful to him.

I suspect this phenomenon also exists for firms and institutions much smaller than Buffet. It may not be that they would own the whole company, but simply that they would own too much of it and/or move the price on their own.

For another thing, lots of investors are irrational. They follow fads. There are certainly opportunities for contrarians.

Value stocks have underperformed in the last 12 yrs, but these things tend to follow cycles, so I'm guessing they will have a comeback. Here is an article about that: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-agony-of-hope-postponed-by-...

That is precisely not useful in terms of efficient price discovery, though it may be "useful" to the individual investor who has better things to do with his or her time. That is one kind of behavior that causes inefficient markets that careful investors can then exploit.

Venmo are cunts, they banned me for life and refused to explain and basically treated me like a terrorist. All I did was send money to various people once in awhile to be nice to them. That was it. I hadn’t even used Venmo for 3 months when they banned me out of the blue with a menacing email about how my activity set off red flags. Like they really went out of their way to be dicks for no reason, it was astonishing. If anyone from Venmo is reading this, go fuck yourselves.

This quote might be relevant:
“I divide my officers into four groups. There are clever, diligent, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and diligent — their place is the General Staff. The next lot are stupid and lazy — they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the intellectual clarity and the composure necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is stupid and diligent — he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always cause only mischief.”

You're confused – heat isn't being converted into anything. The article conflates the words "heat" and "infrared radiation", which are not at all the same thing.

As a rule, everything around you glows – in other words, it emits photons. Some infrared ones, some visible ones, some ultraviolet (or even higher-frequency) ones. How much of each depends on the temperature of the material. Most things (e.g. you) are too cold to be visibly glowing, but they still emit plenty of infrared radiation.

Now, standard solar cells convert visible photons into electricity. Any incoming infrared photons, however, aren't strong enough to kick any electrons loose, so they go to waste. Here, the researchers used carbon nanotubes to absorb the wasted infrared photons. This heats up the nanotubes, which then emit visible photons, which then increase electricity generation.

There is no way to convert heat to electricity directly, unfortunately. However, you can get small amounts of electricity out of temperature differences: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_effect

How many people are in a position to make a purchase decision, buy a ticket, and make the flight when the price drops 33 minutes before departure (13 minutes before boarding ends)?

In June, I was literally in CVG airport (inside of security) when my Delta flight was delayed. I decided not to book a ticket on United that was leaving in ~35 minutes because I wasn't sure that I could get over to the other terminal before boarding closed. (It also wasn't 100% clear that the United flight was going to make the connection in DC because of weather that was also screwing up Delta.)

I always felt that the paper 'Twisting The Triad' laid out the case for Model-View-Presenter (and evolutionary step away from MVC) was a strong, well reasoned paper against your traditional MVC style of programming.

Not specifically to reduce the temperature but to reduce the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, therefore reducing warming, therefore net reducing temperature, yes.

All the IPCC reports, in this case SR-1.5, have built in assumptions for Carbon Dioxide Removal ("CDR") tech, of which BECCS is the only one that's more than an entrepreneurs dream or a "science blog" post.

See here:
https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/sites/2/2019/02/SPM3...

Depending on the model BECCS is expected to capture 151 to 1191 Gigatons of co2 between ~2050 and 2100. Its the yellow section of the graph.

To put that in perspective, we have put about 550 Gt into the air from everything we've burnt since the steam engine was invented. Currently we put about 39Gt/year up.

Effectively, every time you hear someone say "scientists say we have X years left do cut emissions" they are really saying "after which we'll grow and burn and bury gigatons of biomass for 50 years".

We really have zero years left.

This organization’s plan to do carbon capture with olivine sounded impressive to me.
I don't know, but if I were doing this, I'd find out. Call your residential waste management company and ask them who handles commercial hazmat in the area, if you can't think of any other way to start.

Hot things glow. Medium hot things (like you) emit lots of infrared light. Really hot things (like lightbulbs) emit infrared and visible light. Ridiculously hot things (like the sun) emit infrared, visible light, and higher-energy radiation (UV etc.).

I had the same experience. I ended up bookmarking the site, thinking that I could reference it the next time I wanted to formulate an argument about the problems with MVC.

>You won't get lasting improvement without changing the mindset of the powers that be.

I'm confused: Do you believe that whining about it on HN will accomplish that?

>You're saying service developers can put in the work to support both desktop and mobile BankID. I'm saying most of them are lazy and don't bother. Those two statements are not incompatible.

I am, am I? I thought I was saying that you're being assumptive because that's actually what I was saying: You're equating a potential to an emphatic and it doesn't work that way.

>Similar and compatible are very different things.

Now you're just being obtuse and ignoring the entire premise that they're the same - much less have you decidedly chosen whether it matters or not.

>Then again, this whole subdiscussion is irrelevant anyway...

Then why are you replying to it? I think she doth protest too much!

>If BankID had spent more than two seconds designing their API boundaries then the app developers wouldn't have had to care about supporting both in the first place.

According to you, they did design their API boundaries because they're "different APIs". As a byproduct, they must've spent more than two-second designing it to accomplish that, yeah?

The mental gymnastics you're performing must be tiring. I feel for you, I really do.

I do have to concede that you are correct in one point: The whole sub-discussion is irrelevant, namely because your opinion is obviously in the minority and you can't maintain a static viewpoint on anything so far - except to say "bankid sucks"; which isn't substantive.

If you ever change your mind about fixing your problem, I believe this might help in that endeavour:

Tickets are generally non-transferable and cheap ones are non-refundable. So unless google can predict the name of the future buyer it’ll be out of luck.
Oh, thank you for summarizing these points for us! These are very good points to make, indeed.
> What is your point?

It's not a simple problem. It's unlikely Google has it remotely solved.

> Google does have a tremendous advantage if it controls the _flow_( sending traffic/customers to airlines) versus the airline's having control of the book

Google is one of many online travel agents for airlines. It doesn't control the flow.

"Controlling the book" means airlines know who has booked how many tickets and at what price. They control how many tickets are left. They control whether and when a flight flies. They control prices.

Reselling tickets is a distribution problem. Guaranteeing prices is a trading problem. Google has a pitch with the former. It holds few cards with the latter. The only stick it holds to dissuade aggressive behavior from airlines is cutting them off from its distribution.
Some differences between then and now are also different idioms such as CSS naming conventions.

See GetBEM.com - for Block, Element, Modifier naming.

For instance, current conventions are to put a class name on far more HTML elements than years earlier, and avoid using hierarchical specifiers. (Yes, I know, at first it may seem to defeat the cascading within "CSS" without the hierarchy, but it's more nuanced than first glance.) It's especially useful when hiring front-end/UI developers to maintain the project after your initial build, as many will have learned BEM at various coding bootcamps.

In the other thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19984428

you state that asking for sources is, and I quote: "a rather unsubstantive contribution".

You are now telling me I should be citing a source.

If I were being snarky I would ask if you would mind raising your signal/noise ratio as you did with the other poster.

I mean, which is it? Is asking to source the claim unsubstantive or not? Is it only unsubstantive if there's a claim against you personally?

As for allowing others to make up their mind, that would be what the poster in the other thread was presumably trying to do, and you shut him down. And that's really the point.

> You need an argument for "what can we do with Adorno that we could not do without Adorno?"

This is an interesting idea. It reduces all human knowledge to things that help you achieve some goal, knowledge is something you 'do things' with.

It's a really common position. It's how schools teach. It's how we define 'hard' knowledge as opposed to soft, wishy-washy stuff. It also is really convenient if you need a culture of employees - they don't need to think why they do things, or what they should do. The boss tells them, and the market tells the boss.

So that's how you end up with the kind of headless monster capitalism that's cooking the world in CO2. Nobody's trained to think about the whys and whats. They can only think about the hows, and sometimes, problems simply aren't purely technical in nature.

PS: that was a bit of a tangent, but I think philosophy isn't probably the best place to look for goal-oriented rationality.

This is also the overall story arc of my favorite show ever, HBO's Deadwood: a bunch of people, who were all attracted for various reasons to a place specifically because it had no law (the town of Deadwood stood on land that had been ceded by treaty to the Sioux, and was therefore outside the jurisdiction of U.S. law), slowly discover over three seasons all the reasons they actually need law after all.
I get the maybes and the caveats, the misleading title but the direction seems clear - solar efficiency is a tractable materials science problem - and "we" should see this as a penicillin moment - invest hugely into the research and development until we find the right processes and approach to make cheap ubiquitous solar.

If you've never been to such a conference I guess this can tell you a few things about it. Otherwise, there's nothing of value in the article anyway.

Even this:

> Over the course of the conference, there were 84,875 “network events,” or activities suspicious enough to make the team want to take a look.

If you know about IDS and SIEM then you know that such a number is meaningless. Because if its badly configured, you are going to get a plethora of false positives. Its just meant to impress the clueless reader.

An event like this can be a goldmine for blue teaming though. The pressure, the sheer amount of data, fine-tuning your rulesets, etc. But that part the article doesn't explain. Cause it doesn't sound as sexy as some high number.

TL;DR if you haven't read the article, you're not missing out. Move along, move along.

That many people feel what the townspeople did here was wrong is fascinating to me. It seems many people believe in certain ideals, as dogma, to the extent that they expect other people to suffer or even die upholding those ideals. The rule of law is important, yes. But why does anyone expect a town to let themselves be maimed and murdered to maintain the rule of law? This is an insane expectation. The people defended themselves. Nobody can criticize them for that. Yes of course it would better if law enforcement was fixed, but people often have no ability to fix that in any reasonable time frame. Meanwhile people are getting murdered.
