Most comments here are "remote work is great, but"... That's ignoring the inevitability of technologies. This time it's different. Working from home was the norm for centuries, then the industrial revolution happened, and then the internet happened. Nowadays, way too many people don't work from home, for no good reason. As software keeps on eating everything, remote work will cause major disruptions in the way we live, the places we live and our lifestyles. For those of us that learned to work remotely, it is an irreversible change (and polls show that too). Lifestyle adapts to work, not the other way around. As such, we should be thinking about ways in which societies and lifestyles will switch from the 9-5/mon-fri, to something that is very asynchronous yet vibrant and fulfilling. Going back to the office just a dumb desperate solution, considering you are adding back commute time, office politics, useless distractions etc etc. Communication tools are already too good to be ignored. (Also, remote work is an onramp to freelancing/consulting/whatever. Because, if you can work remotely for one employer, why not work for another?)

Most of the complaints such as isolation and disconnection are because society has not adapted to remote working rather than the merits of RW itself. Imagine a world where everyone whose job allows it works remotely. That 's basically the majority of workers[1]. Imagine the change in the pace of life and thousands of people feeling as lonely as you. The precipitous fall of real estate prices as commercial properties become vacant. The empty roads that don't need more than one lane. PEople reconnecting with their neighbors by spending a lot more time in physical proximity. Preschools and even schools becoming obsolete and replaced with home/small group schooling. Our current lifestyles are hostile to remote work. We don't want to return to the closed societies of small villages, but we also want to make working at home humane. We should be able to work on this problem and i look forward to the things that people will invent in the next few years. Changes like this have happened before

I could live with the locking or the corrupted repos if it was half decent at just sharing code, but daily we had problems where someone would check in code, VSS would say it was checked in but the person updating would get stale versions. Sometimes if you looked at the server version it be be correct but not what you would receive on a fresh checkout.

It was literally less functional than copying to a shared drive. Of course management and other developers refused to believe that OSS solutions were better, MS ecosystem developers were an extremely insular group.

It's worth noting that committing a crime doesn't necessarily equal harm having occurred to people yet. For example, brandishing a knife is grounds for immediate arrest, before someone is stabbed. Communication across state lines to plan many types of offenses is illegal, and grounds for arrest before the actual offense occurs.
The Class of 1982 was special in graduating at the very inception of what has become a nearly 40-year bull market in credit, which is mostly a story of monetary and regulatory policy.

When the books are written 100 years from now, they will explain this period as a hyperinflation that our HBS-trained leaders in government and finance managed to trap mostly in financial assets, all the while counter-intuitively justifying their money-creation activities based on a theoretical potential to leak gradually out to the broader economy. Hyperinflation here to maybe generate useful inflation there, but really useful primarily in creating robber-barrons and oligarchs, who perpetuate the system through 'soft bribery' and 'reputation laundering' described in the article.

This article and the speeches etc. discussed in it should be a clarion call for folks to accelerate imagining what will come next, which may well go beyond increasingly cosmopolitan admissions and instruction at HBS.
The existence of said arrangements may be of some interest to the SEC as well.

So from my understanding of what happened this investigation was initially self funded with the aim of getting paid through the SEC whistleblower program, not sure how the hedge fund got involved though.

That's like saying no one would consent to surgery because it involves being sedated and cut open. There is a reason for that treatment. Whether it should be done without consent is another issue.

Although one shouldn't assume, the Abwehr was so totally outgunned in WW2 that they did not successfully insert any agents into Britain. All who landed were either converted to double agents (Some just volunteered without being asked) or captured (and presumably some "dealt with")
Many of Enron people also believed in their own malarkey.

Systemic fraud usually doesn't have a foundation of calculating rational actors but instead irrational exuberance and magical thinking; as if economic fundamentals need not apply.

Look at the dotcom bubble, bitcoin bubble, or the housing crash. The biggest offenders were also the biggest devotees to the dream.

I say this being a shareholder in GE. I honestly hope I'm wrong and things turn around but insiders doubling down in hope of a brighter tomorrow is a poor investment indicator signal. It doesn't mean much.
It's just strange that Chrome allows you to change the new tab page but Edge doesn't.
That's the most cynical way to look at it. Another way is, a guy discovered a huge fraud and planned to make it public. A hedge fund offered to pay him a pile of money for advance information about it.
There are efforts in improving that in 3rd party libs such as django-sorcery [1] which attempts to add Django-like ORM experience but with SQLAlchemy and django-rest-witchcraft [2] which is adding DRF integration to SQLAlchemy models. Not everything Django ORM does is supported however a lot of useful functionality works as expected. For example nested resource updates in serializers in DRF works out of the box without needing to write custom logic unlike in vanilla Django ORM DRF. Whats surprising is that the libs dont do too much magic to make it all work and most of it fairly simply plugs into Django so its not as troublesome as people might want to believe to integrate other things in Django. Its actually a pretty nice framework. Anyways for full disclosure Im a contributor to the mentioned libraries so I could be a bit biased here :D

"Lama" is a word, it's a Tibeten Buddhist Priest; the most well known of which would be the Dalai Lama

"The one-L lama, he's a priest. The two-L llama, he's a beast. And I will bet a silk pajama: there isn't any three-L lllama!" ~Ogden Nash

Nash later appended the footnote "The author's attention has been called to a type of conflagration [fire] known as a three-alarmer. Pooh."
The idea that “gold is valuable” is just as hand-wavy, but requires us to relinquish control of the supply to whomever happened to find themselves sitting on top of a gold mine.

Perhaps fiat isn’t your ideal, but it’s almost certainly better than pegging to a rare earth metal.

I didn’t know it was under active development, but I use this reference a lot. Thank you!

What are you adding these days?

You know what’s on my wish list? A simplified uniform B-spline treatment specific to cubic & quadratic curves. Everywhere I look online, the B-spline explanations are crazy long and complicated with recursive summation diagrams and math about knots and non-uniformity and N-degree evaluation all at once. An open uniform cubic B-spline, though, is really simple, and that’s probably all I’d ever use in CG in practice. But it’s difficult to distill from what’s online right now. Converting a cubic B-spline to Bezier, for example, is a simple 4x4 matrix, and recently I needed it and went looking... it took a while to find.
That is an interesting idea, playing on people's confusion as to where to install from. And someone is going to put the super terse `npm i -g mytool` on their README.md page (because it's all about the easy installs isn't it!) and forget to say "change your registry to github" and boom!
sounds like they paid to acquire "material non-public information".
For MSVC, the debug checks are fairly customizable through judicious use of appropriate debug macros. One can also enabled optimizations with debug symbols, but the debugging experience can be jarring.

I'm not a game developer, but have spent a decade doing C++ on Windows, and at former employer, we had several different debugging profiles depending on the severity/difficulty of reproducing/debugging an issue. Our "normal" debug profile had all of the debug checks in the std lib disabled, and we could only effectively debug our own code. Not sure if games dont do this, or if its still not performing enough.
I've always just read the site and never posted. But what is wrong with you? You are clearly a disturbed individual with some serious moral failings. By the time you retire hopefully you've grown up enough to not give into your childish impulses.

Quick rundown:

- Private equity firms invest in businesses that are not publicly traded. For example, they invest in startups that are seeking to grow and eventually IPO.

- Investment banks help existing firms undertake financial transactions such as issuing new debt or new shares, and serve as brokers for e.g. sales of small businesses to new owners.

- Hedge funds make speculative bets on existing financial assets they believe are over- or under-priced.
Obviously they’re not very worried about that since they made the above public disclosure
Examples of where it’s not, in comparison to other similar companies?
It seems like this is missing the point of public data? When you make an edit to Wikipedia, anyone in the world can read it. You don't benefit when they read an article, but it doesn't cost you anything either.

"Anyone" includes researchers. That's part of the deal. Yes, they benefit, but you aren't harmed. That's zero-sum thinking.
This is nascent technology. Just wait for this to become ubiquitous.

There are so many fantastic uses for this technology. I'm excited about 3D capturing environments and never needing to film on set again. Imagine having a database of locations at your disposal.

Since C++11, you can use template traits to determine if a type is trivially copyable, and even add static_asserts to your code to ensure future changes dont break expectations.
"Lukas Walton owned 21% as of the start of the year"

Are you sure about that? Do you have an authoritative source?

I get zero hits for Lukas among Wal-Mart shareholder disclosures on sec.gov. Jim Walton, by contrast, does show up.

Also, Wal-Mart is trading for about $320B, so $1.5B is more like half a percent than twenty percent.
The Walton family owns a lot of other things as well, but the mention of solar was clearly to suggest a conflict of interest.
If it's popular enough to get through the House and Senate, it would have to be drawing widespread public support across the political spectrum.

At that point, there would be a lot of pressure on state legislatures to ratify an amendment. Anyone who voted against it would be putting a target on their back in the next election.
Well that's bad. Thanks for clarifying and you were right from the start.

Their SEC filings. In a nutshell, the overwhelming majority of Tesla's debt is Solar City's debt.
Update: I was indeed missing something.

I think I've figured out roughly what the author intended, code below [0].

First, it looks like he's relying implicitly on data stored in std::vector. Namely vectors have both a capacity and a size. The capacity is total number of allocated elements. The size is the total number of elements stored actually stored.

Second, vector::resize won't reallocate until it runs out of capacity, but it will give you access to extra elements if you need them. So this is used to lazily re allocate while bumping up the size of the vector.

Both of these effectively make it "do the right thing" by leaning on the vector storing both size and capacity.

If you hand manage those values yourself you can get a pretty compact C implementation without a lot of code.

One last thing: Using a union here for the item_t is pretty much guaranteed to get you a segfault. The whole thing should really be a struct. This also allows for setting next to sentinel value if necessary.

Specifically, a couple key things we did differently:

Nuclino is a block-based editor that can be more cumbersome to use. You’re also always stuck in edit mode, which makes content harder to read, and requires a lot more clicks for tasks like visiting links or even editing a link (try editing an internal link), or opening images in an image gallery, etc. We took a different tack — clean, uncluttered view mode when you’re navigating the wiki. Straightforward, centralized editing tools when it’s time to make changes.

More broadly:

Nuclino can be a great option for some teams, but we found that it (and other similar platforms like Slab) didn’t do the best job of making wikis accessible to everyone.

Some of our early adopters include teachers, emergency room nurse practitioners, nonprofit boards, non-tech startups, friend groups planning a group vacation, individual entrepreneurs and co-founders — i.e., folks who benefit from building and sharing wikis, but are a square peg in the round hole of existing products that are mainly geared to mid-sized tech company teams.

Also shoutout for ProseMirror, I don't think this would have been possible with any other editor!

When you don't have hedge funds on speed dial you have to try to take the risk with your own money yourself.

Wow congratulations you got a 20% gain on the $1,000 to your name.

When you make a big row about it, you protect yourself from having these disclaimers. It protects you from private litigation from people that copy your "not-advice", and it protects you from the SEC who will simply say you didn't disclose it.

The SEC is funny because they will write a line by line statement of how bad you are and how you did all these insidious things, and you ask them what you were supposed to do, and they'll say "oh, just write a three sentence disclaimer next time and those exact same actions are state sanctioned"

It is a slam dunk case. If you read all the articles for the wealth tax, they argue it isn't a direct tax simply because nobody knows what a direct tax is. Or that the tax actually taxes income. Both of those are wrong. Wealth tax is a direct tax, since it is paid by an individual on their possessions, rather than any transaction. The constitution only allows a direct tax on INCOME, not possessions. If I have 100 million dollars in cash, do not make any money, I would still owe 1 million dollars under the wealth tax. Is that an income tax? No.

This article, for the wealth tax, basically makes the argument that the justices should stay true to their 'originalist' principles and uphold it, rather than actually examining the law.

I think this is the best precedent for something like this: When the court ruled that a federal tax on property was unconstitutional, which is similar to what Warren is trying to do. The court has ruled on this in the past.

Kept on, because I was "doing good work for society" and because people depended on my work (though they were unaware of that). Ignored signals of health and sanity and life impact until it was no longer possible to do so. Took about 10 years to go from from "this isn't fun anymore" to "i cannot physically do this anymore"

My advice: don't do that. do something to change the situation. you might make it worse but you won't be gently boiling yourself without noticing.

In this case it was speed. Git respected the time of it's users and hg respected the time of it's developers more, it's in no way surprising that users picked git.

IME the only people that struggle with git are people that refuse to learn it, properly learn it and not "pick it up as you go". It's such a small time investment that pays off for any professional.
It sounds like perhaps you aren't familiar with the meaning of "material non-public information". I've found a lot of stuff by Matt Levine on the topic interesting.

Ex: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-10-15/inside...
Everything is smoke and mirrors. The price of a thing is completely determined by the perception of value and what people are willing to pay or sell at.

The problem with the glut of cheap credit is that it created the means to leverage capital on a scale that essentially embed rent seekers into every facet of life to the detriment of those without.

Those already with property were able to become landlords on a massive scale because credit was cheap, pushing up demand and pricing out those seeking their first home.

Fund managers were able to borrow massive amounts to buy into every business possible to the detriment of other business stakeholders and often the business itself. The economy as a whole suffered as generating quarterly returns and accumulating wealth trumped business growth and production. Because this occurred on a global level the social compact was broken.

I can only see two ways out of this:

A tax on wealth (70%+) might be the means to creating a "spend it or lose it" attitude and force the promised "trickle down" promised when the laws were changed to allow this aberration.

Or we need a multi-trillion dollar debt forgiveness program to reset the economy back to a place people are not so burdened by debt (from putting a roof over their heads, getting an education or requiring healthcare) that they can't afford anything.
