Or, based on what I read in financial statements, "cash" and "short term securities" kind of blur together.

Cash is more of a general category of things that are suitable to use for similar purposes, than one specific thing.

> You misundertood.

Quoting you:

> Actually discussing the leaders doesn't do anyone any good.

So: No, I didn't.

> Changes cannot be achieved by simple talking.

Yes, they can. And are. Constantly.

> You have to complain and do things if it doesn't work.

No. For one, many things can be changed by talking, and talking only. But also, there is absolutely nothing wrong if someone only talks about things being bad where action besides talking is required to change things. It's neither morally wrong, nor is it useless, if your talking is what enables others to implement the changes.

What actually is completely useless is complaining about people only talking about a problem. Absolutely nothing useful can possibly come from that. But it's a common fallacy used by authoritarians and parroted by their followers, nothing particularly special to China. Which is the general impression I get from a lot of your arguments in this discussion: Tons of typical authoritarian fallacies the likes of which you would also hear from right-wing nationalists in "western countries".
Low-population states seceding from the union would fuck themselves over hard, since they are overwhelmingly the beneficiaries of federal aid. In fact, I suspect many of them would cease to be viable entities altogether.

Most people can't reliably read a bus timetable, calculate a 10% tip, or multiply 537 by 12. A concept like SVM is absolute voodoo to the overwhelming majority of the population and always will be, no matter how you try and explain it.

For a start, they get massive transfers of money from more productive states: three dollars for every one that they pay in taxes.
You're howling at the wind. People on this forum, and in much of the rest of the world, have zero ability to empathize with someone that basically isn't their carbon copy. So you will never convince the person that you're responding to that being a middle class 16 year old girl and being paid for sex by a 55 year old billionaire, is not the most fun thing in the world, because that person is not (and probably never has been) a middle class 16 year old girl.
Something needs to be done about the poor assimilation of Chinese students on American campuses. We had a particularly bad incident at Penn State where the Chinese student association held a banquet, and performed a rap saying that “all Americans will soon call China daddy”.

This [1] is population/EC vote rather than EC vote/population, and it's slightly out of order, but it's a steady slope. There's nothing like a normal distribution for people/EC vote ratio. There's just a large range between the power of a California voter and the power of a Wyoming voter. I think this graph shows just how ridiculous this is, Rhode Island voters being inexplicably much less powerful than Connecticut voters, when arguably they're all the same metro with either Boston or NYC, and would thus count as getting just as many "visits" if candidates only visited big population hubs.

A party has to know they were wronged to file a lawsuit, if the cap table isn't presented as information related to the contract then the employee has no basis to understand whether they got their rightful share or not. Many companies don't disclose the total shares outstanding either, so it would be unlikely the employee could check for other forms of dilution.

Without sounding too conspiratorial, as long as the payouts pay everyone with enough information to figure out that the company was restructured prior to the sale then there really isn't anyone with reason or evidence to sue.
On the contrary, you've just put words in my mouth because you've done some logical leaps in your head that just took you away from reality.

In reality, if you want to make an assertion and have other people convinced of your argument, then your obligation is to provide all the facts. Given that, you cannot simply take the inverse hypothetical situation where election fraud is just assumed and use that to form your argument. We still have yet to establish that fraud is happening. So why would we want to suppress votes to prevent something that doesn't happen?

Ive long held the view that there’s zero reason for them to be valued any higher than a REIT. Of course Reits typically generate a dividend and I don’t see we work doing that.... ever? Ps, I’ve also held the view since at least 2010 that Netflix shouldn’t be any higher valued than Lionsgate or hbo if it were its own entity. So you see where holding these views have gotten me. Ps, Spacex is a tech company.
To quantify that "very close", in 2016, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 3 million votes, which is 1.5% of the voting population. I would not call that very close. It isn't a difference of some 1000 votes. It's an election of a minority leader.
Wikipedia has a list of the specific banks, and most of the recent ones have been quite small.

Although pitch inflation is referring to changes about as large as a concert A changing from 440 Hz to 442 Hz, a change of around a tenth of a semitone. The pitch difference between Barry White and Frankie Valli is more like a few octaves.
> One problem with using different debug macros in your debug build is that any libraries you link in must also be using the same flags.

They don't have to be, but it certainly makes this world's easier. If the flags are not the same, for sure you have to be very careful about passing objects between DLL boundaries.

At the companies I've done C++ work at, we've always had the source for all non C libs and compiled any C++ libs our selves (except for Windows libs, bit they also provide checked debug libs), so we could control the flags.

That’s the aws of 2008. If you think that’s still what they do I would suggest revisiting your view. It’s not a very good comparison. I’d prefer to think of wework in the same ways that some might of thought of Enron.
Thanks for the link! My take from that is the bubble is even worse than I thought. I didn’t realize the capital appreciation part and how sensitive long term notes are to rate changes. It seems to more or less work on the greater fool theory between central banks and investors. The intrinsic value held within the bonds is not there and where is the stopping point on the negative side? There’s a discrepancy between Central banks lower rates and bid up bonds through QE so bonds rates are continually on the decline and investors use that rate lowering for returns when bonds appreciating in value.

The amount of compounding leverage here between all parties would mean the system would implode if bonds went the other way for a longer duration. Maybe this threat of implosion only further accelerates lowering of rates as there is no alternative and even systemic deflation risk.
I didn't have the credit score to qualify for a mortgage 5 years ago, and the house we were renting was being sold. We found a private lender and paid $150k for a nice little home in the Austin suburbs - $20k down and 7.9%.. I know, it's a crazy high rate but I'm so grateful that the guy trusted us. My credit score is now > 760 and we're closing this week on a 10-year refinance at 3.5%.

The point of the policy isn’t to ID voter fraud (extremely rare) it’s to restrict voter access so the republicans pushing voter ID laws aren’t going to implement things to fix the ID availability problem.

My core argument is that libraries usually do need breaking changes, and including them into std turns them into zombies that can never be removed. I think python has issues with this. And the syn example that I pointed out above shows that Rust isn't immune from this either.

An interesting character in the Galaxy fold was science columnist (1952 on) Willy Ley. He'd been a co-founder of the German amateur rocketry society in 1927. He and illustrater Chesley Bonestell created some visionary publications in that period .. like 'The Conquest of Space' (1949).

Addiction has two components: chemical(i.e. nicotine) and psychological (i.e. the habit of the ritual).

My mom recently switched to e-cigarettes, and she said that she still occasionally gets the urge to smoke a real cigarette. But she said the urge is a lot weaker than when she used to go prolonged periods without smoking cigarettes, such as after a long plane ride.
I certainly am conservative but the things I said are not false. The USA government is not merely a representative democracy, it's more formally a republic.

Consider this: the purpose behind the bicameral legislature is that in order for the federal government to act, it requires the consent of both the majority of the population and the majority of the states subject to it. If the population and the states can't agree, then we shouldn't do it at the federal level. It's foundational to the structure, and it's a process of slowing down the system against them whims of both the elite and the masses.

If you disagree with this, that's perfectly fine. I don't know a conservative that isn't in favor of CA and NY seceding. After all, most of the wealthy people live there anyway. Conduct the Marxist cleansing behind the border wall, but don't bring the rest of us into the shit. Let CA burn itself to the ground, we don't have a problem with that. Don't bring the rest of us down with you. We shouldn't have to support the insanity.

Hah seems pretty spot on to me. Was raised RC and always marveled at certain family members’ ability to become irate over small differences like these.

It’s a satire illustrating the phenomenon of people getting into the most acrimonious fights with the people ideologically closest to them. It’s likely specifically directed at American liberals and their tendency to viciously claw at each other over whether Bernie’s record on race is ideologically pure enough or Hillary is too “establishment,” weakening the pursuit of their common interests against opponents who are a million times farther from them than the gap between them.
Ya but see, you can post that and we can talk about it.

That's the difference.
Yeah something tells me this is a deep change related to how they manage identity. GitLab has the same issue.
By this argument, Google and Facebook aren't tech companies, since they make the vast majority of their revenues by selling advertising. Is that technology? The way in which they do their advertising perhaps is, but advertising itself is not really technology in the way a phone or copy of some software is.

I would argue that a tech company is a company which derives most of its real value through technology. And that it's a spectrum, not binary - companies that sell hardware and software licenses are more "tech" than companies that heavily leverage uniquely valuable technology to sell old-school goods and services. But those companies with uniquely valuable tech to sell old-school goods and services, like Google/FB (ads), Amazon (catalog retailer), Netflix (entertainment like cable) still derive most of their value from doing technological things, and I think that makes them tech companies, even though they don't directly sell tech

But still, WeWork is not really a tech company because their value isn't in their tech

> In this family, we want to maximize the overall quantity AND the quality of individual happiness (like John Stuart Mill).

I can't see that sentience and the quality of individual happiness are necessarily related. It may be that some other species is capable of sustaining a higher quality of happiness. If, for example, that species turns out to be a kind of duck, are John Stuart Mill utilitarians obligated to maximize the quantity of very happy ducks over happy humans?

There’s a helpful framework for this conversation created by Salim Ismail called exponential organizations. Instead of trying to bucket companies as tech or non tech, he recommends you look at their attributes to determine whether or not they are capable of exponential growth. For example, I think their case study of github indicated it was one of the few companies that had all of the possible attributes for exponential growth nailed. Anyway I don’t want to spend a bunch of time regurgitating the idea here but it might be helpful to take a look at it.

Yeah, pretty much. They would be a fleet management company at that point. They might be more high-tech than most fleet management businesses, but their core business would be fleet management, not tech.
I think a more straightforward reading is that it is satire directed at religious people.
Swift takes this approach: monomorphisation is an implementation detail/optimisation.

In languages like Rust and Swift where values don't have a uniform representation (that is, not always a pointer), this takes a lot of infastructure, and a lot of performance/optimiser work to get reasonable performance for common code: the Swift compiler has quite a bit of code devoted to making generically-types values behave mostly like statically-typed ones, with minimal performance cliffs.

Rust's approach is that this sort of vtable-/dictionary-passing has to be done explicitly (with a trait object), and such values have restrictions.
Does this also apply to a locally installed version? It didn't in the past.

"On Demand" is IIRC the cloud kdb+, which is thus much less predictable and easy to misrepresent.

Of course that’s the more straightforward reading. An even more straightforward reading is the literal one. Different readers choose different levels of indirection.
One very quick comment in support of a strong first party library: it’s proven to be much simpler, and much more common, for third party libraries to be compromised and everything from intentional security holes to full on malware to be bundled into the distributed packages.

I could pin every dependency, and monitor CVEs for all my dependencies, and monitor the ownership/code changes for all my dependencies, and hope for updates in a timely manner should there be CVEs... or I can use the standard library and move on with my life.

Personal opinion of course. Some people enjoy monitoring CVE lists. :)
Note that the feature set on this is limited. Specifically it is missing GPG (and thus SSH) support. It may be added via a software update if the somu campaign goes very well. But frankly that is a long shot.

Recycling bins at my office are always particularly effective at demonstrating this. Single stream recycling makes things easy!.. Or so I thought, before witnessing an endless stream of banana peels in the recycling bins and plastic bags in the compost bins.
The reason that it isn't silly is that people keep saying these larger sizes are necessary when anyone with some perspective and history in computers knows that it's ridiculous.

You can say users don't care about bloat and speed, but when they have an alternative that is clearly not the case. uTorrent destroyed the market share of other torrent clients by being lightning fast and tiny. Chrome captured market share off of being fast. IE originally killed Netscape because it 'loaded' much faster. Winamp won because it was fast and tiny. Google won because it loaded fast and the searches were fast. Google maps won because it was full screen and still faster than MapQuest. People hate the Reddit redesign because it is slow and bloated. People like hacker news' interface because it is fast. People upgrade their phones to see dramatic speed differences. A major advantage of apple is their faster CPUs.

When users have no choice, they put up with whatever bloated nonsense they have to. When they have a choice, they do actually go with interactivity and less latency.

You can be patronizing and pretend that it's archaic to care about well made software that doesn't take up 100x the resources it should need, but when someone wants software that gets out of their way, scales well, or runs on a low power platform, that 300 MB chat client isn't going to cut it.
At least nobody said Uber is a "data" company like they used to. Five years of Uber telling me the driver is "5 minutes away" for 20 minutes straight when I request a pickup at LAX tells me they don't even look at their data!
It’s also a moonshot bet that when autonomous vehicles become a reality, Uber will wind up on top. I don’t know about that at all.

IBM owned everything in sight in computing, amd when PCs cam along, it improbably wound up owning them for a short while too...

Then MS took over. They owned everything in sight, but stumbled when the Internet came around, and then again in mobile. They’ve roared back, but they don’t own everything in sight.

Uber’s valuation doesn’t leave room for stumbles and settling for roaring profitability. It’s a bet that when the inflection point comes, they will own everything and keep owning everything.

It could happen, but it takes more than just autonomous vehicles becoming a reality for their valuation to become real.
That’s not an entirely terrible idea.

Biased reporting that selectively misrepresents Chinese perspectives and in this case, deliberate omissions to dismiss the publication as purveyor of fake news is crux to many Chinese complaints against western MSM. See all the Huawei 5G hit pieces from a nominally free 5th estate that somehow manages to replicate the manufactured consent of state propaganda. IMO people who lived under propaganda, especially journalists, editors or other media professionals are also equipped to identify it.

>The editor claimed that during their talks, he explained to Zhang how much effort the publication put into fact-checking and confirming references. But none of these went into the final piece.

> “In the profile, there is no mention of all the insight, knowledge, experience, and stories that I shared with her about the new-media industry. Instead, it made up some lies and criticized Chinese publications like ours for producing fake news.
> we compete for mates in relatively tight geographic locations and you're probably 95th percentile height/wealth/prestige in Mexico by merely showing up with an average US height and household income, easily 99th percentile with software engineering type income. so you arbitraged your attributes by moving to a place with more favorable comparisons to the local population to meet more women.

You're not wrong. I took largely the same approach as the parent commenter and ended up married to a Mexicana.

My funnel ended up being relatively similar ratio to his, spread out over multiple countries over two years. I looked at it as probabilities game and just optimized my odds by looking in areas that:

1. What we call traditional gender/marriage roles, they just call normal.

2. I was a luxury/exotic good instead of another face in the crowd.

> would say, a Hispanic looking person have the same success even if born in US? seems doubtful, so can't be purely location, but must include other factors.

If that Hispanic person had the same 99th percentile software engineer income and a firm command of the Spanish language: I would say they would be in a weaker starting position in the funnel, but their success ratio after initial match would be significantly higher than the gringo with middling at best Spanish (me).
It’s a shame most of these comments are debating the merits of the Electoral College, skipping right past the much more interesting & relevant argument of whether the NPV compact is constitutional.

I agree with you that it’s not. States can indeed choose electors with any constitutional method they wish, but if they hold a statewide election, it has to be a fair election or it will run afoul of the 14th Amendment.
Those details matter a lot, you're right. However, pictures help a lot imho, and I bet my parents could get the jist of this:
