Traffic circles and roundabouts don't exist. Those things are all called rotaries. The tiny ones are inherently defective, especially for large vehicles. The larger rotaries can be nice, especially when installed above a freeway that intersects with low-volume roads, but they are too costly unless the land is very cheap.

A decent use of a rotary is in Massachusetts where Drum Hill Road and Old Westford Road meet US 4 (North Road) right over top of Interstate 3. It's a 6-way intersection, with the elevated rotary helping to deal with the high speed of Interstate 3. The intersection used to be even nicer, free of traffic lights and with a smooth elliptical shape, prior to Interstate 3 being widened.
I guess my major point is that Amazon didn’t need to consistently find new capital in order to keep the business afloat. Musk does. That’s partyly the distinction between cash flow and profit
It's actually more nuanced than that. Interest isn't banned outright. Interests on things that carried risk was fine so interest on foreign exchange was fine. This was how the banking families of Italy like the Medici made so much money. The ban on usury is only on non-secured loans or loans secured by the person. For example, mortgage is actually OK because the debtor can default and walk away. However, loans that are secured by the person who must pay cannot collect interest. This, IIRC, comes from St. Thomas Aquinas.
Isn't Booking a US corporation and Yandex is a Russian one. Generally when people say "Europe" in this context they are mostly referring to the EU and the "satellites".

Regardless, the EU alone has 50% more population than the US, while the population is about as educated, yet it's only a small fraction of the US on this list.

What does this even mean though?

Say I'm getting a loan from a bank. It's in my best interest to get that loan for 0%. But it's obviously not in the bank's best interest.
They should try correlating hormone ratios with a total lack of interest in either outcome.

Well, technically, people vote to guide the electoral college on who they should vote for.
I won't tell tales about my current employer, but I'll tell the one about my previous one (without naming them).

I left because the code base for their main product was incredibly bad. Brittle, opaque, undocumented, buggy, and virtually unmaintainable.

That alone wouldn't have been a dealbreaker as long as the company saw the problem and we were working to fix the situation. That wasn't what was happening, though, because the Big Boss didn't agree that there was a problem at all, even though literally every dev was telling him so. He saw any effort to improve the code quality as a waste of time and money.

So, I had to leave in part because it was a terrible working condition, and in part because I didn't want my personal professional reputation to be damaged by being associated with that project.
As experienced on earth, as in during the day vs during the night? (I don’t know which side is facing galactic center but I’m sure it’s almost half the day one way and almost half the day the other way.)
So basically make corporations banks and eliminate banking as as a function?

How does the FED determine the value to give each corporation relative to other services provided to the market?

It's an interesting idea if that's what you're thinking, though I foresee a lot more government overhead.

Correct me if I'm misinterpeting. I think I might be.
I was a happy customer for a long time until they broke their web interface to the point I couldn't use it anymore. I tried everything. Finally I tracked down the bug to a particular line of javascript, emailed customer support with exact instructions how to fix it.

They did nothing. Never fixed it, so I had to move to another broker that had working software.
I was trying to be more diplomatic, but I totally agree :-)

Sure, you can get by without one, just like you can speed without getting a ticket. But that doesn't mean it's the type of situation that normally occurs. For example, if nobody in your company knows how GDPR works, how would you know that you're complying with it? The same goes for tax laws.

Agree, with enough dedication we can remove our reliance on anything. Coffee, tv, internet, phones, straws, bananas...

Still doesn't mean it is a good idea or that it will solve anything.

More in specific, we can remove straws from our life (you can also claim that all the noise about it raised public awareness), but when Starbucks solution is to use even more plastic in their lids, McDonald's solution are paper straws that cannot be recicled and raise a huge controversy for focusing on something silly I am not sure it was a net ecological win.

If you're doing anything other than passively buying index funds, you're probably screwing yourself, but your choice of broker is irrelevant.

As a small-time, retail investor, you are statistically guaranteed to make random, uninformed trades, and it is profitable for market makers to process them, in much the same way that it's profitable for a grocery store to sell you groceries. And much like the grocery store selling you potato chips, they make their money on volume, not on gouging you on the cost of staples.

Whether you should be buying those chips (or day trading AAPL) is a question for you and your dietician and/or investment advisor, but you don't need to worry about the price.
Can you vote with these RSUs? Or does the bank holding them get that right?

Because last I checked with mine, they really belong to the bank, and are used to fill in my balance sheet. No voting allowed.
Well with the Niken it’s the fact that it’s got two wheels up front but can still lean. That’s as opposed to the Can-Am Spyder which is an old school trike.
I'd want it to be invariant to the time of day, so I guess as experienced by Earth's center? Or the sun's center. Just wanted a vague ballpark number, which someone already mentioned.
My local recycling center (in the SF Bay Area) accepts styrofoam blocks (though the machine is down right now). Unfortunately, storing and transporting bulky styrofoam is cumbersome for individuals, so it's not very scalable.

You're not. Market makers really like filling orders for small-time investors because it's really unlikely that a small-time investor knows more then the market maker. They don't like filling orders for big institutional investors because those guys might know more than the market makers, and the market makers might accidentally give them too good of a deal.

I'm not too familiar with fistfights or helmets but I would've thought being able to strike them in the face without much risk to your own face would be an advantage in such a case. It would be like grabbing a collar or someone's ears, which can work, but you've tied up at least one of your hands doing that.
We used to define this using heuristics like limiting loans to amounts that can be serviced on ⅓ of the primary household income.

We could go back to using those rules, the catch is that people desperate for finance will shop around to find a less principled lender, so FOMO leads to acquiring customers who are one bad week away from defaulting.
The incumbent government is usually popular because it's a totalitarian regime where the people aren't given a choice.
This is why I prefer spear fishing (free diving style especially), yes it’s harder work, yes there are dangers; But it’s not only visually attractive but you can be much more selective about the fish you take and there is almost never anything left behind, unless you had to drop a weight belt in an emergency or something, which I’ve never actually needed to do though it happens.

Often I actually take tack home I find and dispose of it properly.

Everyone is trying driving cars and fully doing so is impossible. Supersonic flight already been done with Concorde. Custom microorganisms are potentially interesting but also seem to lack killer app, except killer bugs.
Because the amount of goods and labor required to build a house (that can be lived in for decades) is typically a lot more than what an individual can save up for in any reasonable amount of time.

You're missing the forrest for the trees with all your handwaving about the money supply.

Houses are big and expensive and sit on land that is in finite supply (especially in high demand areas). People are generally a lot better off if they can pay this purchase off over time while living in it rather than saving up to pay for the whole thing all at once while also paying to live somewhere else.

So we could see Adam optimization with hyper-parameter tuning by Adam? But IIRC this is never guaranteed to always find the global minima/maxima, so why would it in this scenario? Or is this just finding a way to let your optimizer self optimize?
I was a little confused what they called an "indie hacker" and how they dedicated an entire website to such people. It's not conflating "hacker" with "startup founder". It's defining "indie" as "small startup founder" and "hacker" as "person who works in the software industry".

As the exact target audience, it's kind of neat to me.
Well, I'll be sure to tell that to the next guy who sends me an 'online assessment'.
If you still like what you are doing and can cover all your expenses including savings then I would say continue.

But if it's a drag and you don't see it changing then it's time to try something else. Keep in mind that once you get a job you'll have to do what others want you to do. That can be hard for someone that has been his own boss for 8 years.
What would handling it “well” mean?
What?

Every anabolic/androgenic steroid has some degree of androgenic effects. Researchers and pharma tried for decades to create a steroid that has no androgenic effects, to no avail. Even a 5mg dose of Anavar, one of the softest steroids that were actively prescribed for women, had androgenic effects.

Testosterone has a 100/100 anabolic/androgenic ratio. It's definitely androgenic. It will literally put hair on your chest. I don't know what point you're trying to make here.
Florida Boomer Caught on Video Cutting Brake Lines of Public E-Scooters
They absolutely will not be exported from China. They will sell every single TM3 they can make in GF3 in China locally, taking advantage of all the cost savings, tax savings, and incentives along the way.

But GF3 is what will push them from 8,500/wk ultimately to above 10,000/wk, and depending on exactly how quickly that ramp happens in Q4 will determine whether they end the year with 360k, or 380k cars sold.

They will head into 2020 at or close to an annualized production rate of 500k, which is what Elon predicted back in February. [1]

Assuming no further increases at Fremont, this requires GF3 to be producing at a rate of ~2,250/wk. Tesla has stated they expect to be producing between 1,000 - 2,000 cars per week at GF3 by the end of the year, rising to 3,000/wk in 2020. So more likely there are still some gains to be made in Fremont before the end up the year in order to hit 500k annualized.

By comparison Fremont was making 2,250/wk roughly 1 year after the first TM3 was produced (July 2017 - July 2018). This goes to show how much faster the production ramp can be the second time around. Unlike the first time when Tesla had never mass produced s vehicle before and was expecting “production hell”.

Why is Amazon blocking Iranians from its services?
Just an FYI, your infrastructure and machine learning engineering positions are dead links.
If you have no idea what you're talking about, why even comment?

They don't sell the data, they sell the orders, and the people that buy the orders and execute them aren't front-running them either. You can only front-run an informed trade, and the entire reason they're buying the orders is because they're uniformed.

Nobody is front running some guy day trading AAPL on their lunch break. Not just because it's illegal and easy to catch (although it is both of those), but because it's mathmatically not even possible. If your trade is not, on its own, meaningfully moving the share price, you can't be front run.
I think the previous round of breakthroughs produced a collective brain drain that is making the next round more difficult to come by.
I always get downvoted for saying this, but many diseases with "unknown" causes are psychological in origin. I get the feeling this is one of them. Read The Mindbody Prescription - hope it gives you your life back like it did with me.
Depends on my strategy. For instance a superoptimizer tries all possible options and selects the best one.
To you and any other developers that feel this way, there are plenty of companies out there, big and small that need your skills. FWIW, developers that know how to buckle down and do work are so important to a lot of un-sexy businesses, but especially on a project basis. Ever thought of working as a consultant? Or just doing part time technology work/advisory for several small businesses? It's riskier than a salary, but the work is much more deterministic than it is novel.

edit: clarity
Inflation is not a net change in pay. If real wages grew at say 1% compounded annually, over the last 2,000 years salaries would have increased by over 400,000,000x.

In the end, wage increases are far from geometric growth.
Let's also bear in mind that if we want to think of teaching as a high-skill profession equivalent to doctor, lawyer, software engineer, etc, then we should be looking at the upper end of professional salaries when evaluating teacher salaries, not the median.

Considering the outcome a good teacher can have on the life a child (even though it may be hard to measure that) I think it makes sense to imagine teaching as such.

Not trying to be a naysayer; I just wanted to make a rough estimate of just how many trees would be involved in this method. We already have the ability to plant and cut millions of acres of trees for lumber, so this is an entirely possible future. Whether it's more or less efficient than other methods of carbon capture is the real question.
You are naive if you think your sacrifice will be enough, you need to convince others to join in, this is why so much of the funding focuses on reaching market viability.

If India and China will not join you every sacrifice you did was essentially worthless
> Sick of people in this industry making you feel you're not smart enough

I just want to mention that this isn't an industry-wide problem. It is a cultural problem that tends to be concentrated in a few geographic areas and a few specific sectors of the industry.

You might benefit from taking a step back and considering a substantial change without leaving the industry entirely -- to a new geographic area, or a new sector of the industry.

Also, there is quite a lot of very interesting and well-paying dev work in businesses that aren't IT-related. They often have difficulty finding top notch talent, and as a result will pay well and be thrilled to have you.
But Maliki was America’s choice while also being clearly pro-Shia. Or are you talking about the transitional government?
That's an amazing story. My father has his own experiences with a CEO who has a habit of screwing up, but it's not nearly as entertaining as yours.

CTO at 29 with that salary is the midwest? That's rather amazing. You should be proud of what you accomplished. Do you still have that ucler, or was that just a joke?

I wrote about my experience at my current job a few weeks ago [1]. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all your support. I recently got an offer for the field I've always wanted to be in, with around a $25k pay raise too. It's such a huge weight off my shoulders to finally see a way out and I feel so much better, basic things like my appetite are back and I don't dread waking up. I already have so much more free time now that I'm not searching for jobs 2 hours a day after work. I gave my two-weeks notice this week and I'll have around 3 weeks off to decompress before starting - I'm planning on visiting Seattle, anyone have any recs?

So you... have invented a ZBA with an automatic sweep to a money market/bond fund? A treasury management of every single regional and above bank can do it on balances above $10k. They can probably do it for less but the transaction costs are a killer (and if you tell me that you don't have those transaction costs I'm going to look at you really funny)

I mean the ultimate job of a CFO of a company with a pile of cash is to make sure that the pile of cash at the fed close is nearly the same (preferably exactly the same) at the fed open the next day, which is why treasury management is not popular below companies of a certain size with gigantic finance departments. One can make a respectable amount of money collecting customer's cash investing it for 10-30-90 days before redistributing it to some other customers a-la AirBnB but that requires people that otherwise would be working for Goldman to be on a payroll, and their total compensation makes all non-FAANG engineers cry.

So if my startup has $800k split between four banks because I know about coverage limits, what are you doing that's better?
So sad I can only give you one upvote per comment.

That was one hell of a ride.

Have you tried to defuse your dangerous CEO by giving him a harmless hobby?
For an unsophisticated rube investor (not trader) like myself, who wants to put a little bit of every paycheck into equities, RH is a superior product.I can wake up the morning my paycheck posts, transfer funds, and buy a couple of shares in seconds using my phone/tablet while I am in bed. Clean, simple, easy.

I looked into other products, but felt that none of them addressed my particular use case. Felt like they were designed for someone very different than myself. Anyway, if there is some good alternative I don't know about (which is extremely likely), please suggest.

"Presumed" is the key point. e.g. Ethiopian Jews have no genetic relationship with other Israeli Jewish subgroups, people in Eastern Germany have just as much in common genetically with Poles as with Western Germans, etc. And when these things are brought up, many ethnic nationalists will shrug their shoulders and say "so what".

Yeah, that was my intention when I saw what I had to work with. But it was also specifically prohibited.
We could recover the energy.

mgh = 0.5mvv

Cancel out the mass, round g to 10 m/s/s, assume a velocity of 30 m/s, and solve for h:

h = 45

We thus need a rotary that is elevated 45 meters above the road. That is about 150 feet. This could work for a highway, especially if it is in a road cut.
Why are you still there? You could easily leverage your accomplishments to get another job. With your experience you could probably be an overpriced consultant.
I heard a story on the radio the other day about the debate of whether or not we should allow robots to kill people.

I wonder if ever in history there was a time when we needed to kill people faster and set our engineering minds to solve that problem. Would there be any lessons to learn we could apply to our current problem of automated human life destruction.

I just can't believe there are human beings who would actually write that code!

Edit: Clarification, Yes, robots that kill automatically with no human intervention. Programmed to seek and kill the enemy.
I love these kinds of projects, and jumped on the pixelstick kickstarter several years ago when it released. Here is one of my favorite images from messing around with it

Brutally shit yourself and scream “game over, I win, motherfuckers” and moonwalk out.
If I understand what they are looking at, they are looking at problems that are simple in the sense of having no local optima, but complex in the sense of having very high dimension.

ie. It's not a problem for the class of problems they are optimizing.

I've been out of that domain for awhile... but when I did a lot of optimizing / fitting in a high dimensional space with a function that had lots of local optima... I found the downhill simplex method with simulated annealing was most effective / robust.
"We're women because we say we are - and that's really all there is to say about it."

It doesn't make any sense for someone else to tell you who you are. How could they know? Of course, if you were autistic or schizophrenic, that would be different...

Anyway, I remember reading an evocative description by a trans man of how testosterone made him feel like a sex crazed monster. Nobody can know for sure if they have the same experience, just like we don't know if the color blue is the same for us.

But it seemed to me that implied one of two things - either he was experiencing what cis males consider normal, and it was horrifying, in which case it was evidence against him being "really" male, or else he was not experiencing what being a cis male is like, in which case it was evidence that administering male hormones may not produce the effect of natural ones.
As I already mentioned even if it is just the installer that alone sets the tone for a poor support story.

Additionally what of the various bugs that are filed and comments about missing or broken functionality.

This is not something that most professionals want to dick with.
