This is all true. But it is worth noting that the Fed has increasingly tried to apply untraditional monetary policies. For instance with operation twist, the Fed was trying to control long term rate with bond buying. Also I believe they also keep an eye on repos, not the least because it will be the basis for SOFR, the replacement of LIBOR.

It occurs as part of a fundraising process in which an investor invests money at a valuation that's double the previous one. As part of that there are forms filed that effectively say: "yeah just double it" but you don't file this forms outside of a fundraising process.
Okay, if that's the case, then say "investing in sustainable companies" rather than "divesting from fossil fuel companies" because doing the latter does not imply that you are also doing the former.

And by the same logic I mentioned, you'd still have to be buying the stock from the company itself, not from someone else, to ensure that you're actually helping them. If a company isn't selling their stock, it's not at all clear that buying their stock from someone else helps the company.

> Seeing as an awful lot of people on this very thread were outraged by [Eich's] behaviour

I can't speak for everyone, but while I strongly disagree with his (implicit) views on gay marriage (I even protested against Prop 8 leading up to it passing, though I unfortunately wasn't quite old enough to vote against it at the time), I also was - and still am - pretty harshly critical of him being pressured to resign from the organization he co-founded solely because of his political leanings. He was the right leader for Mozilla, despite his politics; while it's possible that maybe he was some raging egotist bringing down Mozilla and running counter to its mission, I've yet to see a whole lot of evidence for that.

Meanwhile, Stallman is well-documented to be abrasive, uncooperative, and egotistical even to the people who supported him, and while this specific incident was rather benign, I can understand it as a "straw that broke the camel's back" situation. His dogmatic views - while sometimes absolutely spot-on - were also often at the detriment of the free software movement (e.g. the hard stance against OpenBSD's "blobs", and the hard-line stances against non-FOSS programs on FOSS operating systems despite multiple GNU subprojects releasing supported builds for Windows).

Stallman, in other words, was to the FSF as Ballmer was to Microsoft in the sense of being both passionate about their organizations and also being the reasons why their organizations were hemorrhaging influence. Ballmer's departure allowed Microsoft to regain its footing, shake off some of its more toxic dogmas, and become actually decent(-ish; shoving ads down the throats of paying Windows users is pretty scummy, but other parts of Microsoft have actually started to be better members of the broader tech ecosystem). Hopefully Stallman's departure will have a similar effect for the FSF.
Hopefully at some point in the near future the authors will see that their work is nothing more than algorithmic masturbation.

You're presenting a very naive and romanticized version of the story.

It's not sealed, he was indicted in 2013.
Yes, I think you can.

If you think you can produce business value with domain specific knowledge there is a good chance you can.

That said your code will not be great. There is so much to learn about production quality code that you're not going to know. But I've seen very successful systems operate on terrible code.

You do have to understand you will incur a lot of technical debt but businesses often need to take on debt to get off the ground so it might make sense.

You may want to think about how you're going to scale if your business takes off. That's when you'll want to think about paying down that debt if you want to grow and be able to move fast.

At the growth point you're going to be able to afford experienced developers to clean things up. Be warned they're not going to be happy working on poorly architected code and that might be a difficult experience. If you've worked hard and someone criticizes that work it might hurt. But if you're expecting it, it doesn't need to.
>We all have second-hand stories of how, when Stallman came to our cities (in my case Paris) for a conference, he acted like the worst fucking person on earth towards his volunteering hosts.

No we don't. Your vague unspecified second-hand stories aren't any kind of evidence or argument. Come with specifics or this is just slander.
It's "morally absurd" for different jurisdictions to self-govern?

I think this is a great idea and I'm biased because I came up with the same idea when brainstorming Slack new features in a job interview. One thing that concerns me about it is the amount of confidential information that people bandy about on their corporate Slack that could accidentally be leaked to a shared channel. Is that something that comes in practice?

Categorization is very possible without human curation, particularly if you're ingesting structured data (as would be likely in the case of a Shopify site aggregator/search engine).

And yet, people are concluding from that quote that he "loves rape", which is so wildly different from what he is actually saying that I have to wonder if people even read his words.

It seems to me the problem isn't that he's tone deaf but that other people have terrible reading comprehension.
For anything I'd put on Git*b, it's largely unnecessary, as they'd just be tiny pet projects that only I would ever update. I'm surprised when I even get someone looking at my repos, let alone contributing to them.

Gitlab is great! Most major downside from my perspective is that the diffing functionality is much worse than Github's. Super slow + resource intensive.

It's an overnight transaction, it should go away very quickly.

The Fed has been surprisingly consistent in its reduction of QE [1]. There is no way QE will be drained by the next recession but what is interesting is that they keep draining even though they are considering lowering rates. I am surprised it doesn't have a bigger impact on the market given how large of an impact QE had on the way up.

Is the alternate interpretation not plausible? After all, there's a reason why in such cases it's called "statutory rape" rather than just "rape".

Again, not sure how that supports your original comment. He says he's skeptical whether it's harmful. It's reasonable interpret that as him disapproving of such laws, on the basis that there isn't enough evidence. However, I'm not sure how that supports the claim he thinks such laws are "morally absurd".
Github-type companies become repositories of functions, and programmers pick the function they want and just do functional composition.

Perhaps because his resignation/removal didn't happen as a direct result of the combined history of transgressions, but only after someone took a fresh, minor offense and blew it out of proportion, so that it ended up in mass media. There's a difference between resigning (or being forced to) because of a pattern of bad behavior, and that plus having your name in the Forbes under a headline that contains a lie.

I wonder if this is a fake job posting to satisfy a Labor Certification [0] for a US Visa application.

For some types of Visas, the company has to prove that there are no qualified US workers to take the position. One way of proving this is to post a job posting and provide evidence that there are no qualified workers that have applied.

There is of course a perverse incentive to make the job posting extraordinarily specific such that only the intended Visa recipient could be considered qualified.

> You should write as much code as possible, run into as many problems as possible, and solve them. This is how you actually learn how to program. Feel free to play with and adapt other people's code along the way though.

Agree, but as much as possible should be limited by reading other code. If one spends 95% living in his own bubble, he will likely progress slower.

> Sure, there may be "excellent code" out there by some standard, but nobody can agree on what "good code" is.

The exact semantics of "excellent code" don't matter here. For all practical purposes, "excellent code" is what a "hey I am a python beginner please tell me your three favourite codebase to learn from thank you" thread on reddit yields.

On the other hand, it is stupid to ignore advice by experts. It is also stupid to not become able to recognize experts. This is a very important step in becoming good in any field - recognizing people who are better than oneself.

Other support chat tools have solved this for quite some time with a queue and display of estimated waiting time. You may not get an initial response immediately, but once an agent becomes available they're assigned the chat and do communicate synchronously.

In comparison, Slack has no way to indicate that an agent is already working with someone else in another channel, nor any good way to assign a specific owner--customer questions are dumped into a channel with X support agents as members, one of whom will hopefully respond.
What an asinine way to begin a comment attempting to explain your position. I think it’s safe to say that nobody wishes another human “high on some substance” has the ability to disrupt the control of their vehicle. Where did you even pull that from?

That being said, the people who “should resist more” are the ones don’t find it “trivial” to not rely on cloud service providers. They grab IoT products like a Ring doorbell off the shelf and install it one and done.
The adjusted vs. unadjusted income numbers aren't actually all that helpful. What I want to know is the dollar number left over after standard expenses in each metro (i.e. basically discretionary income). Housing in a tech hub can eat up half your income, but if you've still got 20K more left over at the end of the year than you would in a smaller city with cheaper housing you're better off in the tech hub. Teasing that out of the presented tables in not straightforward.

See Disposable Income in [1] for a better take on this. Or even the older numbers from Citylab's own analysis [2].

What exactly is going well? 3 years ago the economy was growing - jobs where increasing rapidly - farmers where selling soybeans - the military was building new housing and schools for troop's families which translates into local jobs. The debt was large from fighting a major recession but flattening. Now - our debt is accelerating (tax cuts), yields keep inverting (10yr at a higher percentage than 30 yr). The stock market has been a roller coaster since 2018 as changes in gov't policy started to take hold. Job creation flat and will most likely turn negative. Don't listen to the media - learn to read the numbers yourself.

For a while I've wondered if the math might work out such that the most cost effective way to fight greenhouse gas emissions is simply to buy up and horde oil on the open market.

The oil has carbon already trapped in an efficiently storable form, it's absurdly dense, it's quite inexpensive... and buying it up would have a secondary effect of driving up the price, which would incentivize efficiencies and alternatives.

Bonus, as a government program it would be more appealing to climate change deniers than alternatives because at the end of the day you'd have oil, which could later be used if we figure out some better solution (or that the problem didn't exist in the first place).

Divestment is a practical prerequisite for effective regulation of fossil fuel companies.

Right now tough regulations will directly hurt pensioners with pensions invested in fossil fuel companies. After divestment will not hurt those people in the same direct way.

So:

Step 1) - Divest

Step 2) - Regulate to fully compensate for externalities caused by fossil fuel companies without worry of collateral damage
They were purchased by a private equity company. Which does not usually mean any continued development. At it's best, it means keep the thing running well and continue to wring revenue out of it.

As a rates trader, your positions are denominated in the millions of dollars. Some back of the envelope math:

1mm of 10y treasuries (repo'd at EOD) is roughly $1k of risk (dv01 -- if rates move by 1bp, your pnl fluctuates by $1k). To finance that position, you're paying $236 at 9% vs $27 at 1%.

Now say you've got 1mm of 2y treasuries. That's roughly $0.2k dv01. Unless 2y rates move 1.25bp overnight, you're losing money just financing the position.

In short, there's a massive difference between paying 2.3bps and paying 0.27bps.

Only Shaffer himself has offered this version of events, which are not in keeping with Department of Defense policies on the public release of sensitive information in print.
