Friendship also requires the consent of two. I don't stop thinking at "consent" and "into it", and I don't have to justify that to you, either. I could elaborate, but you're not really asking, or respecting my opinion at all -- me just "being into" certain people as friends apparently isn't enough for you.

> This agist view towards sex that you are prescribing

You're actually trying to prescribe to something to me, and about my reasoning and "view" you know nothing, because you prefer your own straw man.

> is certainly no better than someone who would stop being friends with someone because they found out that their friend is gay.

Aaaand here comes the payoff, where being against taking advantage of someone is "the" bad thing, and dirty old men don't exist, just an "agist view". A lot of variations can be seen in that other thread, too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20990583
They're not the same thing financially: with dividends, it is much easier for shareholders to invest the money in some other company that is better managed. Stock buybacks give the illusion of profit growth, when in fact the profits per share are engineered by company executives. The biggest winners in this arrangement are without question the executives, who practically guarantee share growth and, therefore, large bonuses.
Mostly it's the name. Sex with minor would be a good enough name but no, let's up the ante by always calling it rape.

This allows the use of name rape for additionally making cases harsher when abuse or coercion was present.

And in Poland, there's also modifier "with extreme cruelty" on top, generally involving physical violence.
Doesn't this avoid the core point of decarbonising the economy? Rather than getting Chevron to limit emissions, we need them to cease emissions. Which for an oil company means find an entirely new line of business - hopefully something like renewables - or cease to exist. Allow a tiny few to continue for the purposes of creating plastics we can't easily substitute by something else. Yes, that expects and requires far-reaching regulation.

Continuing to exist, and emit, just a bit slower is only delaying climate impact, and by a tiny amount.
For revenue resulting from violation of the agreement. Seems like a reasonable stipulation. If you want to know the secrets, you can only use them for the purposes for which they were given to you. You cannot make profits by selling them or using them for your own advantage.

You would like me to pay you to perform a service. I would like to pay you to perform the service, but I have to share my secrets. You have to agree to use the information I give you only for performing the service we agree to. If you do anything else with my secrets, I can sue you for the revenue you made from that. You will also probably go to jail if you do that.

Charge appropriately for the service and do not expect to get additional benefits from the classified information.

There is no assignment of royalties for anything you created independently.
So they have a rape kit and they know who the driver was, can't they at least see if the DNA matches?

Also if the driver took a very different route to what she requested on her phone that alone seems suspicious.
I agree with Bill that divestment is probably less impactful than many people think, and certainly not worth all of the effort people go through protesting trying to get Fund X to divest from Objectionable Investment Y.

However I think there are two obvious ways it has > zero impact. Let's take an oil company as an example:

1) If fewer influential investors/funds are invested in oil, there will be fewer people angry if a third party proposes a law or regulation that will hurt oil profits. As said in the article, it makes change easier.
2) The money divested will not go under a mattress. It will be invested in something slightly better (or less worse). Over time this moves money in the right direction.
Hair on a Deal
The decline of Shifty Jelly (Pocket Casts going offshore to a boring anonymous US outfit, then Pocket Weather being dumped) is one of the sadder little stories on the Aus tech scene. I'm not blaming them for moving on -- nothing stays the same and there's no reason why it should -- but it's still a bit sad. Everything about Shifty Jelly used to be great.
Something being insulting to someone is not the same as them being offended. I am saying, you are insulting those people, disrespecting them, because they are not irrational. Have a good day and hopefully improve your awareness of other people's faculties.
FWIW I've been pleasantly surprised by Walmart's sub-$10 Bluetooth headphones, made by Onn. Particularly impressive is their bass response, easily beating much more expensive earbuds I have had. Obviously Bluetooth buds aren't for audiophiles but these are very impressive for the price!
I don't think I understand your point. Did I ever claim that expected dividend returns are the only factor in stock price?

> for any company undergoing a divestment campaign, this will shift.

Since you don't specify, I will presume that you are implying that the "shift" would be an decrease in the portion of the value of the stock that is derived from expectations of future resale value. High dividend companies will thus be less susceptible to divestment campaigns as their stock's value is less dependent on that future resale value.

If divestment happens gradually enough, it is potentially feasible for stock buybacks to somewhat compensate. With companies (such as BP) that do both buybacks and dividends (and aren't thus aren't raising capital by selling stocks), the lower stock price directly helps the company buy back more stocks which then reduces the costs of dividends and makes the company financially stronger. As long as enough of their remaining shareholders don't make waves (because they like the idea of a stronger company that will be more likely to continue paying dividends) divestment is actually beneficial to that company.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I think coordinated, contingent and relatively quick divestment has the greatest potential for motivating share holders to demand changes from the company to protect stock price. This sort of control is ONLY possible if you haven't already gradually divested your stock. This sort of shareholder activism does have great potential, but it is rarely done out of concern for morality or society rather than profit.

So it seems to me that if environmental activists want to influence the behavior of oil companies, they would be better served by buying and holding oil company stock and becoming activist investors. (I agree with Bill Gates the best result for the planet is served by taking that money and investing it into green tech companies.)

Note that companies (such as BP) are only as invulnerable to divestment as they are because of they don't need to raise money by selling stocks. In a situation such as South Africa in the 1980s, their need to raise money by selling stocks made the country much more vulnerable to a divestment campaign. (It also helped that South Africa in the 1980 had a GDP of ~250MM after inflation and that is ~1/1000th of BP's current gross revenue)

The really interesting part is that the elevator would not be in a true geostationary orbit traveling at ~3000m/s. instead it would be traveling at 100m/s at the same height.

The delta-V to reach GEO without the radial velocity to maintain it is closer to 10 km/s if you use the partial escape velocity equation. This is pretty huge as mass required to achieve delta-V is nonlinear.
given that germany is the country where this custom is common, and adding that especially in germany any non-german can easily be recognized by their name alone, giving racism as the reason for that custom to develop is almost absurd.
Most software that is slammed together in JS doesn't need the kind of performance and correctness that Rust can bring to the table.
In large teams it's worth the reduction in 'code velocity' to have engineers document what they are building.

I specifically make efforts, and encourage others to do the same, to keep most documentation outside of slack. Do you have a question about a ticket? Ask it in a comment not slack. Do you have a question about how our system works? Ask it in the private Stack Overflow. Want to advertise a cool new internal service we can use? Great tell everyone in slack, but also add it to swaggerhub.
There's no real age where you can put a cutoff. The prosecution though is allowed no discretion.
Judge is neither.

Juries are supposed to use the very harsh letter of the law, no exceptions.

These laws are bad and should be reformulated to handle real life, which has corner cases (e.g. interstate romance between minors, what about it?) and where prosecution could cause more damage than it helps.

Listennotes which was featured in a thread here recently has transcribe support. I don't know what services it uses for computer speech to text. Maybe Amazon speech to text?

You can investigate their transcribe section near the bottom here, the example has timestamped transcription which generates useful chapter skip links. The price quote is generated from episode length I think.

I mean, homebrew is completely inapplicable to what Google makes its money off of, so it's not particularly surprising. I would not be surprised if I wasn't able to be hired in anything but a junior role at a very niche medical technology company for example. Or a java desktop app shop (I have no java experience). For some reason people are under the impression that Google makes its money from 'doing computer science', and mistakenly think that anyone good at something that qualifies as computer science ought to be able to work there. Aside from the obvious (and oft-repeated) critique of rampant Google fetishism, it's important to note that Google does actually operate several businesses, and its goal when hiring engineering talent is to find talent that will help its business. Homebrew, a package manager for OS X (I don't think Google uses OS X for anything but consumer apps), is completely orthogonal to most of their business.
in the same vein i disagree with people who complain about freeloaders who use Free Software and don't seem to give anything back. in reality we do not know how they give back to society. they might be doing many of those things that you mention that i as the developer of the software can not see.

I wonder, why Stallman just won't sue Vice for the hatchet job they did? Defamation suits are a thing, and it would be a high profile one.

you dont even need a smelter/forger if you want to build a massive space colony at the L1 lagrange point (which the moon elevator would pass through). Just pack the raw lunar regolith into prefab plastic sheeting similar. this is similar in concept to inflatable space habitats with the added benefit of radiation protection and thermal insulation.

This is ridiculous. She’s suing Lyft because Lyft has money, not because they’re responsible. If a McDonald’s employee rapes me in the McDonald’s bathroom, McDonalds’s isn’t at fault.

And what on Earth was going on that she “reported the rape” to Lyft before the police? It’s a crime, not some terms of service violation. If it happened the way she described, the driver should be in jail, not just kicked off the app.
Have you heard of groupies? Plenty of young women will throw themselves at rich/powerful/famous people, it's been happening forever. Plenty of young men will too for that matter, but historically there's been far less rich/powerful/famous men.

Software engineering is not one field.

> My assertion is that having those open source software projects is not materially impacting the careers most writers of open source software because of that software's existence

If you define 'open source project' as something that exists on GitHub, then the vast majority of open-source software is completely useless and unhelpful to a resume. On the other hand, if you have a popular piece of software, a community around it, and a demonstrated ability to manage tickets, contributors, etc, then you are going to have great chances of working in an environment where that skill is used.

There is a key business trick of renting the buildings in the name of smaller companies. Then if one building cannot be rented out, the small company declares bankruptcy and the rest of WeWork is unaffected/profits. I'm pretty sure this is what's going on and I don't think it should be legal.
Well, although this is not financial advice - there does exist an index fund that does just that (SPYX). It holds the S&P 500 less any company which "holds fossil fuel reserves". Still some "fossil fuel" companies in there, but for retail investors with the context of an index fund its probably as close as you're gonna get at least today.
Snowden is a fugitive who betrayed his country and has open criminal felony indictments against him, hides in Russia, and refuses to return home to America to face justice.

Capone was a mafia boss who was immune to direct criminal prosecution, hence the tax evasion charges.

It's unlikely the CIA is "butt hurt" about Snowden.
It's not free, it's now a subscription for people who already paid. Tapatalk did the same thing recently. It is a trend that once "Premium" paid apps plateau in users they go subscription ("free"). No doubt we will start seeing ads etc.

The alternative is apps being sold to shady outfits that inject spyware. For example Cheetah Mobile bought QuickPic and when Chinafire sold SuperSU to a American-based shell company.

If app stores allowed paid version upgrades this trend might not have happened.

He did a shit job at that.

I'm in a group he had been fine towards, but I've never found him someone I'd like to follow.

His bad behavior is not new, it's been going on for a very long time, why does he need more time to change? His statement on why he left makes it pretty clear he feels like he didn't say anything problematic.
I've up-voted this because I agree with you that the election of prosecutors (and judges) is a bad idea. I suspect you are getting down-voted mostly due to your poor choice of terminology.
It's important to note that the amount of money you accept for that paper need not be what's written on it. I.e., you could sell a bond saying you'll pay back $1000 + interest and get only $981 for it, say, or maybe $1017 dollars for it, or any other number.

If the bond sells for more than its nominal value, then the effective interest rate you pay to borrow will be lower than the nominal interest rate, and if the bond sells for less, then your effective interest rate will be higher than the nominal interest rate.

It's just mind boggling how universal these concepts are and how they show up in surprising ways. As a recent example, I've been learning the basics of composing music in Haskell with Euterpea[1] and wanted to make a function which played several notes over a list of octaves to make chords. It turns out the applicative operator was exactly the function I need to do this! It would be hard to go into the details in just a little blurb here... but here is a piece I made with with it[2]. And here's the line of code with the applicative operator:

notePlayer notes octs dur = musicSeq $ (uncurry <$> notes) <*> ((, dur) <$> octs)

Won't make much sense without context, but it's there!

You should visit China just to see the scale. 20 cities larger then NYC. Just one example, Tokyo's bullet train station has 4 tracks Shanghai's has 24. Also make sure to visit the country side and see how many people need to be helped out of poverty.
The DOJ pushing their case against Snowden's potential book profits nicely reminds everyone about the US government's illegal surveillance programs and simultaneously helps promote the book.

If I were Macmillan I'd consider not having any profits from it by simply donating all the proceeds from Snowden's book to the Freedom of the Press Foundation, a non-profit organization.

Kinda like when they demanded the cryptokeys to Lavabit but found instead it had gone out of business.
Good site and design. My honest reservation about using drastically different resume formats is - resume parsers. Most recruiting agencies, large companies using some form resume parsing to aid in filtering out candidates. Not sure if your formats will get parsed correctly.
Thanks for building Clockwise. Our entire team uses it, and it's quite useful for blocking off chunks of time.

The one part where we run into trouble is: we give our Calendly links a ton to external folks to schedule meetings.

Now either we mark our Clockwise blocks as "busy" in which case it's very difficult to schedule a meeting with us via Calendly, or "free" in which case people can schedule meetings with us at any point during the block in which case the block usually gets broken up.

Something that would be great is the ability to allow meetings in eg the first 45m or last 45m of a Clockwise block >2hrs long.

Whether you accomplish this by fragmenting blocks (45m free / 1 hr busy / 45m free), or some deeper integration w/ Calendly is immaterial, but this sort of thing would be immensely helpful!
You can't give someone paid leave if they don't work regular hours. I know everyone likes to mock them for calling them "contractors", but in some ways it makes sense - they're employees doing work on a per-contract basis. There's no magic number you can use to accommodate that, especially if something like this could cause them to lose other jobs and need the income.

Looks like some taxi companies suspend without pay over a lot less though, so do we just call that fair enough? I dunno. Doesn't seem ideal really.
Venture (and venture-like) investing has a less than 30-year horizon but it's a single investment decision followed by essentially no other decisions, except what to do with the returned capital.

A lot of large tech stocks, beloved consumer companies (cost, dis, sbux, mcd, ko, tgt...), a few pharmas, banks have been around for a long time, and will still be around in another decade. I'm happy to keep them in my portfolio for the foreseeable future.

Some types of real estate fit the bill (farms and timber. residential and commercial in some locations).

There are places where the world changed and I probably should've bailed a little sooner, but I really don't know how anybody can look at the cost curves for renewables or energy storage and walk away thinking that fossil fuels are a solid long-term investment. They don't spark joy. Thank them for their service, and hit the fucking bid.
