At any given point in time, it's possible to calculate how much value a stock has already given to its bearer via dividends, and adjust those values for the changing purchasing power over of currency over time.

Once a company dissolves, we have enough information to do this calculation over the entire lifetime of the stock issue. At that point, we can determine what real value that stock had at any point in the past for the bearer.

This explains how value investors interpret stock value, but most traders are speculators that expect to make their profit by selling the shares on to someone else. They will only buy a share of stock if they believe that a future investor will buy it off of them at a higher price. This future investor will either be a value investor that expects to get the dividend returns or another speculator that is making the same calculation. Thus, even if a share of stock will pass through many hands before it lands in the portfolio of a value investor, that value investor is the only real price anchor, and the entire chain of speculators are ultimately trying to sell to him/her.
Man. This is a wonderful little niche product. How did you stumble upon the website to buy?
I'm a freelance developer, so I get many interviews for possible engagements.

My favorite recent question was (badly paraphrased): Some developers overdesign, i.e. they design for possible future features. Some developers underdesign, i.e. they solve the current problem without too much design at all. Where are you on that spectrum?

My answer: Hard to really answer this neutrally about yourself, but I try not to prevent future changes by making things overly clever or specific.

Another one was: The project has a non-negotiable deadline and feature list and it looks like it's going to be late. What do you do?

My answer: overtime doesn't work for highly intellectual work, so I'll see which features have the worst effort to usefulness ratio and cut them. They didn't like that. Good riddance to that project.
Apple wasn't eager to protect the device of a terrorist. They were eager to protect everyone's devices. Opening up access to "the terrorist's" device would open up that access to every device. I, personally, think they made absolutely the right call.
They weren't referring to the networks themselves. Carriers release (or work with manufacturers to release) versions of phones with a bunch of custom stuff added onto a vanilla Android OS. When Google releases a new OS or an important security fix to Android, carriers need to merge this stuff in with all of their custom stuff, assuming that they still care to do so and support that device. As a result, phones running Android can fall years behind on patches.

The phones sold by Apple don't have this problem. The phones sold by Google also don't have this problem. But the phones sold by carriers but running Google's OS have this problem. Phones sold by carriers but running Apple's OS would also have this problem, but Apple doesn't let anyone else sell phones with their OS.

The difference between your computer's patches and your phone's patches is that you are allowed to update your computer's operating system, but your phone has probably been carefully locked down by your carrier to prevent you being able to do this, which is very upsetting but that's a different matter.
That's precisely the benefit of requiring a multitude of CA signatures -- no single compromise is capable of having a catastrophic impact.

But by switching over to the Model 3 powertrain, Tesla will lose their 0-60 crown. The 3 might have better cooling motors, batteries, and efficiency, but the S launches faster despite being much heavier.

So Tesla gets to pick whether they want a Model S that doesn't overheat, or a Model S that's slower to 60 than a Taycan.
I purposely checkout with human cashiers despite the fact that self-checkout is almost always faster.

Sometimes technology provides so much benefit that it's a no-brainer to adopt. I don't think that's the case for self-checkout stations. They're marginally better but come at a cost that I don't believe is worth it.

A single self-checkout station probably replaces 2 cashiers. Not to mention they take up less space. It makes a lot of sense for the store owners but I don't think it makes much sense for the community.
This is beyond ridiculous. It's on par with disallowing barcodes so checkers can input them by hand.
this story is dumb...
In my experience it’s often just “different” rather than “more” but in some cases, yes, it might be a little more. It depends on where you’re at in a project. Very early on, it’s usually more. In a more established project where these patterns are already in use it’s usually not. Definitely an important thing to consider - it’s not a one size fits all solution.

Your premise is based on the intersection of "most users" and "programmers". I don't really buy that. Do you know any programmers who are hopeless with tool configuration?
> And that there are vulnerabilities of 2 years worth of iOS versions is pretty reasonable evidence that this has been a 2 year project.

My thought was that they could be to target old versions, even if the site is new, but if the new exploits work on old versions that seems unlikely (though it could be to limit the exposure of the new zero-day - fingerprint an old version, present an old exploit - but if the exploits are new, that seems like a lot of work for next-to-no benefit).

If you don't watch your users struggling with your product then you can tell yourself all sorts of delicious lies about how awesome you are.

If you have no empathy then you can watch them and dismiss it as user stupidity. Which is never an attractive look.
> Are you somehow supporting the hospitals separately from the taxes that everyone else pays?

Yes. The cost of my health insurance is based off of the cost to hospitals; hospitals need to charge paying customers more if they have to write off their non-paying customers.

> All of our stupid pointless wars cost me money, as well as being deeply evil, but that argument hasn't stopped them yet...

Our stupid pointless wars are indeed one of the biggest breakdowns in democracy. Bush promised to stay out of foreign entanglements and Obama promised to leave Iraq and Afghanistan. As CiC, the president does not need any help from congress to withdraw (or refrain from sending) troops, so these are much easier promises to follow through on those that require congressional approval.

If you're going to wait for politicians to act with high standards of ethics before they pass any regulations, you are, for all practical purposes, arguing for anarcho-libertarianism.
Ericsson has a similar response program in place for disasters around the world. They call it "Ericsson Response".

The goal is to setup GSM-based emergency networks from scratch very quickly in severe disaster areas where infrastructure is disrupted by natural or other kinds of disasters.

For example: Nepal after the devastating earthquake in 2015.

They're flying in containers of GSM network equipment, diesel generators, fuel, along with technical people to get things going. Then they'll hand out SIMs/phones to emergency workers ASAP in order to empower logistics in a disaster zone.

It's manned by (obviously still paid) volunteers out of their normal working force.

This is based from Sweden mostly, I think. I'd expect the usual foreign travel insurance thing, perhaps with an additional hostage negotiation insurance for particular regions.

Presumably neither of these would be needed for Waffle House employees from the US who travel to another US state?

For well-run companies these kinds of things are a win-win thing. The company gets more loyalty, the employees get more motivation and the "end-users" get help. Perhaps the Waffle House is just a well-run company?

South Carolina, in an unexpected bit of rationality, repealed their mini-bottle law a few years ago. The law originally came about because the Southern Baptists in the state felt that limiting hard liquor to being sold in small 1.7 oz (50 ml) bottles was the way to prevent the sin of drunkenness. A peculiarity in the law meant that the bottle had to be opened in front of you, and the entire contents used to make your drink (to prevent bootlegging and watered-down drinks). So if you wanted a drink that had 2 or 3 ingredients, you were getting a pretty stiff drink.

https://charleston.eater.com/2015/10/16/9553903/mini-bottles...

Someone eventually pointed out that they were the last state in the Union serving drinks this way (other than the airlines) and all those tiny glass bottles ended up in the landfill. So in 2010 the state went free-pour.
Nah, in target you are an easy... target! (yada yada yada, bring the downvotes you very serious people)
In some states the industry of state government loses because distilled beverages are sold only through state owned stores. I live in VA and in 2018 sales at state ABC stores were $1 billion dollars. This generated $196.7 million dollars in net profit. In addition the state generated another $302 million in taxes on sales at these stores.

VA has quite a few distilleries you can visit. You can purchase bottles at these distilleries but the distillery is acting as an agent for the state. Bottles are sold at the same price state stores sell them at, the distillery deposits all sales in a state bank account each night and the distillery is later paid by the state their negotiated wholesale price.
Still, is there a difference? If there is a bug in the parser, trip it and what was once non-executable might be executable.
Yes it does -- the cashiers will not be permanently unemployed but will find other, more productive work.
Same folks that won’t let you pump your own gas. At least motorcycles are exempt from that silliness now.
While I agree with that completely, the coinciding problem that I've run into time and time again is the temptation to accept statistical significance but ignore the size of the effect.

You might see p=0.00001 but if the size of the effect irrelevant, then the statistical significance of the relationship is still not something I care about. Great, orange juice shrinks tumors by 0.000001%. I'm still going with chemo, thanks.

> The paradigm of lxd is much more foreign to me than docker.

The paradigm of lxd is pretty much exactly the same as the paradigm of a regular distribution installed on bare metal or inside a VM. If you can operate a regularly installed distribution, then you can operate inside a lxd container. The commands to create and destroy lxd containers are trivial ("lxc launch ubuntu:bionic" for example).

> Kernel minutiae is not and the technical skill requirements is much higher.

I'm not sure why you think you need to know kernel minutiae, cgroups or kernel namespaces. Operating lxd needs none of that.

> I am pretty familiar with my application and the distro of the container in a user perspective.

That's all you need.

Iraq and Afghanistan seem pretty criticized to me.
HN is not for generic discussions about grandiose topics that always get people riled up. Those discussions are not driven by intellectual curiosity, which is the organizing value of this site. They turn into ideological battles and tangents, which produce mediocre comments. It's a clear win for HN not to host such arguments, so you should look elsewhere for that variety of 'fun'.

I know it always feels like the mods are biased against you, but I've scolded plenty of anti-religious zealots for breaking the HN guidelines over the years, including at least one in this thread.
Almost all spacecraft carry propulsion and can change their orbit. There are even known cases of spysats deliberately shadowing comsats.

You are only delaying the inevitable. You are also tying someone to a job that provides no value other than a paycheck. I would rather go with Andrew Yang’s plan.
In chrome, if you open the dev tools and go to Sources, you can see the files and modify them right there. If they are executed once at page load time, you need to set a breakpoint and refresh, edit, save, then press Run again.

Often times when I'm fixing sites, there's an actual error thrown in the console, which will take you to the line in the code where the exception happens (or any line along the stack trace), so you can set a breakpoint right there and fix the code. If the code is minified, there's also a button near the bottom of the code section to reformat it./

The only tricky part is if the JS is embedded inside the html, then Chrome doesn't let you edit it, but often then, it's in the global Window namespace, so you can literally override the function by typing in the console. Hope this helps!

As a hands-on example, you can open hn.js on this page, add `alert('hello')` to vote(){}, save, then try upvoting my comment :)

if you accelerate quickly to the legal limit and others take it as an invitation to drive recklessly, that sounds an awful lot like their own problem.

I agree with your other comments about driving in traffic. avoiding large speed differentials when you are surrounded by other cars is very much your responsibility.
I just read the article I linked a bit more closely, and it's worse than I thought: pretty much everything in it is wrong.

> The details of the exploits are being kept a secret

They are not.

> Four out of the six bugs can trigger a malicious code on an iOS device, and a user doesn’t even need to do anything. Simply sending the message to the phone will execute the code once a person opens and looks at the message.

No.

The article also fails to mention that the the bugs targeted previous versions of iOS and have been fixed by Apple. And finally, the title makes it clear that "1B Apple users could be hacked", which is categorically false and much closer in meaning to my headline than yours.
The kind of activities we were approaching about were for integrations, conferences, blog posts and webinars - great methods to get leads and remain in the zeitgeist.

Building a “Simple” Distributed System – The What
I suspect the most distracted, hormonally frenzied squirrel is more aware of his environment and present in his moment than the majority of humans can achieve with concentrated effort.

Go sit in a forest clearing and be still and quiet long enough for everything to decide you're staying and work around you. That place on that day will have a story of more detail, drama and character than any soap opera could hope to get. Tomorrow there'll be another epic there. The next clearing over has a different show.
I do it quite often, but it really depends on location I think.

In more rural locations you'll commonly have a 90 degree turn onto a 60-70mph road.

I probably wouldn't if it were 3s 0-60 though.
> this is a true measure of technological advancement of a nation

That's an interesting point and worth further analysis. But, just to probe a little, that would imply that US and USSR were technically equally advanced in the 60s.

Is that true?

Moreover, what about nations that have not invested much in space at all, but otherwise are probably doing well from technical advancement standpoint.

This is certainly a measure, but is it the measure?

Modi is definitely investing in space, with the manned mission in a couple of years. I just hope this doesn't impact that.
Unfortunately people are very resistant to the concept that a better, freer Rhodesia would have been a better place than Zimbabwe.

Similarly, people will tend to accuse you of liking apartheid if you criticize the ANC.

Dead men don't raise crops, nor does cropland without productive farmers produce food.
I prefer the term incubation.

But a study of students may not directly relate to the general population. Coursework is very specific and intended to be rigorous to finish within a semester.

I cant count the number of non-school projects that have pivoted where I’ve benefited from incubating or wished I’d incubated more - frustrating to throw away work.

It’s why incubating is better. Solve the easy, generic problems first on a schedule and leave the hard parts for last. Tends to help clarity and focus.
I wonder how this law would interact with a fully automated store like Amazon Go: technically there are no checkout stations, human or otherwise.
Speculation, since I’m not an expert:

The battery is big, so it has high thermal mass and lots of area for cooling. The motor is small. Motors can also easily be thermally limited. A permanent magnet motor that overheats will demagnetize and be destroyed. Induction motors and other non-permanent-magnet motors are less sensitive, but resistance goes up and metals and glues soften at higher temperature.

I'm not convinced it is that easy for someone working as a cashier to find another job. Especially if low skill work is being replaced by robots.

Also given that cashiers are already at or near the poverty level they're likely going to be more impacted by job interruption.

Your response makes sense in theory but does not take into account the fact that these are real people with families and rent to pay who likely don't have many options or much financial padding.
I've never bothered with the App store on macOS, why do people use it? All the software I need I can buy, download and run. For now. I can see a future where Apple turns their laptops into iPads with keyboard, and a mandatory app store. That will certainly be the day I drop Apple hardware and software forever.
I think rayiner was speaking of the "many" Americans who complain about America constantly, but know nothing else well enough to really compare.
I have obtained permanent residency in Australia, close to obtaining one in Canada and now a GC in US. I know friends in NZ. Aus, Canada, NZ are great countries for skilled immigration. They generally have a fair and open process. Cana da is the most impressive. Honestly if US didn't pay so much more than Canada & Aus, I'd have stayed there.
But isn't learning how to get up in the morning a part of growing up...? (Same with going to bed on time) Couldn't it be taught just like cooking their own food and grooming themselves? I learned pretty quickly the consequences of tardiness by getting detention, lower grades, etc. Now - if they don't care one damn about school then I think that's a separate problem and them avoiding school by sleeping in is just highlighting a separate problem. If they have a really hard time getting up every morning and can't sleep at night then they could have insomnia and do well with at least some acknowledgement of it. I suffered with insomnia for over a decade. It was due to horrible amounts of stress.

Back to you: If they're always expecting their parents to wake them up every morning - how are they going to fare when (if?) they move out?
Wget2 has been in development for a few years now. It is meant to be a drop in replacement for Wget with nearly full backward compatibility with all the old switches. In most cases you can replace wget with wget2 and not really realize the difference. For the known differences, please refer to the documentation in the gitlab repo.

There's still a few rough edges though. And we very much welcome any criticisms / bug reports about the same.
1 mg melatonin is actually more than triple the recommended dose (0.3 mg). Most people should be able to take that indefinitely.
No, it says they might be trying to influence market prices. Another researcher quoted in the article confirms that the market price for an exploit of a high end Android device is 30% more than an equivalent iOS exploit and gives Safari's poor security as the reason. Despite Safari having such a large attack surface, iOS cannot update it without a reboot, which only exacerbates the problem.
I’m actually surprised someone at Google hasn’t switched to BigInt yet in JS if the browser supports it? Googlers, front page OKR time! :)
It wasn't a pot shot. Gum and patches have abysmal success rates, oral fixation or not. For someone to suggest those as a simple alternative to vaping obviously isn't and never was a smoker. And it is a bit personal; others like to tell me what to do and why it's easy. Vaping is about to be regulated out of existence by people who don't give a shit about the ramifications.
Not the full experience, you couldn't select/fork/interact with the code. In Twitch/YouTube the watching experience is linear (you watch a video from start to the end). In GD the code defines what part of the video to be played.
