I only know of a handful of prenups that didn't work, and in every case where the prenup was pierced, it was due to one of the parties not satisfying the conditions required for a valid prenup.

The number one failure? Not properly disclosing premarital assets. Disclose everything, and let the lawyer decide if it's immaterial (and as a side benefit, if they strike something from disclosure which is later found to be material in a divorce proceeding that results in the prenup being pierced, then generally your lawyer's malpractice insurance will make you whole).

How should stock be disclosed? If it's publicly traded, you disclose the stock, type of shares, stock owned, and value at the time the disclosure was compiled. If it's not publicly traded, you list the type of stock restrictions on trading/owning if any, and estimated valuation based on the most recent one conducted by the company. If you're a C-suite officer of a VC-funded company, you generally also need to get an updated valuation, and if the company won't do one you may need a third-party valuation. (If you're not an executive, or it's a privately-owned traditionally financed company, no additional valuation needed.)

If I drop out of college in a given quarter, I only owe tuition for that quarter. This is like dropping out my first quarter in college and owing my university 5 quarters of tuition.

No I don’t really like ISAs and personally would never do one myself.
>From a practical standpoint, this research may ultimately lead to insights about how to improve people’s psychological and physical well-being.

Late Dr. Oliver Sacks, a famous neurologist, became a neurologist because his brother had schizophrenia. Many of his books contains cases of people with extraordinary abilities, but with mental disorders.
The data is consistent with most other bootcamps, though. There is a standard for reporting student outcomes here: https://cirr.org/data

Hack Reactor, now Galvanize, was one of the founding organizations of the CIRR, circa 2014: https://www.hackreactor.com/blog/tag/student+outcomes
Most were small sites that had a few videos about a specific topic, and whose videos were not optimized for search engines or anything other than the topic at hand.

Why do you hear the words "hey guys" or "you guys" in virtually every YouTube video today? Because it's an approved (and extremely boring, meaningless, and effortless) way to address your audience in a non-specific manner.

Internet videos had a lot more character before they were a source of income.

Of course that same income potential produces a lot of garbage 20 minute videos about the latest Nintendo Switch rumor, for example, and they also allow truly passionate people to make money creating the videos they would not have time to create without that income, so it's a mixed bag.

The internet in general 20 years ago had a lot more character overall before people figured out how to make it profitable.
This is why people have religion. Regardless of your personal views on the fact, it's a darn good way to avoid getting depressed by this sort of nihilism. You believe the universe will go on; you'll see your family one day and spend eternity in paradise. You may think it's BS, but have to admit it doesn't really matter for most people, it still does the job.
> To answer your question directly: in this case study, I see no evidence that a reasonable amount of regulation on pharmaceutical pricing in the United States would have had any discouraging effect whatsoever on the development of this drug

With the benefit of hindsight? I suspect you are correct. But pharma portfolios operate on the lognormal success model of VCs. Without the blockbusters, you can’t fund “development” of the failures that could lead to another blockbuster. (Of course, much if large pharma R&D is by way of strategic partnership and acquisition.)

As to your pricing of the Humira acquisition: I personally would have included some consideration to the existing market exclusivity of the drug. The transaction price is unlikely to be just the “replacement cost”.
I'd suspect that purely financially motivated folks are better at making money, though.

I think we'd be better off with a system that promotes free flow of information, but local production of goods and services. Products shouldn't be available without full specifications and fabrication methods. Web services shouldn't exist without interoperability protocols and source code. I think this would be a hackers' paradise, and this is "Hacker News", after all.

That’s an ingenious usage of WASM. I hope more projects figure out how to utilize WASM in unexpected ways.
> Why is this even a thing?

Do you think that this point was never raised with them? It was, look at w3c lists, look at mozilla bugzilla, look at chrome bug tracker and long lists of WONTFIX bugs asking to let user disable those sensors. It goes almost like this "I do not need the website know how I hold the phone, — No, you really have no reason to disable sensors," after them being asked for the tenth time. HOW DO YOU REASON WITH SUCH PEOPLE?

Whomever ever came first with this idea must be found and fired, and people should make sure that no contributions to web standards to be accepted from that person. Whomever followed, allowed, and collaborated on that process should also be fired along.

People who got to write web standards today are unqualified for this role in their prime majority. Some of those "software engineers" speak in more lawyery, MBA-like manner than real lawyers do. They are really hired as lobbyist, to push, push, push their client's proposals to approval in any way possible, no matter how much they have to break the browser to do that. People can't work with them. They are toxic.

It should be a default presumption that people hired to write standards should be highly professional in their demeanour, experienced, trusted, and give no favours to one vendor or another, be direct, and above all be helpful. There should be no second thought about that.

Now, how many of people involved with WhatWG will meet these criteria?
You'd think someone would make a custom-sized film for this purpose.

NASA is horrible at keeping astronauts alive. Worse than the Soviets/Russians, as far as I know.

>Does YT have a quantifiable monopoly it abuses in an economic sense?

I really don't see how YouTube could be seen as anything but anticompetitive in many of its practices. Primarily, the fact that they have used and continue to use revenue driven by search from Google to maintain the tremendous infrastructure necessary to run YouTube. This means that anyone who wishes to compete with YouTube needs to be able to find investors (or pay themselves, but the number of people or organizations that could do that can be counted on one hand) willing to foot the bill to build billion-dollar infrastructure and then expect to run it at a profound loss, burning hundreds of millions of dollars a year for potentially a decade or more. Google is probably making some money on YouTube now, but they ran it at a mountainous loss for years and years for no reason other than suppressing the possibility of competition being developed. There also other smaller things, like the US government deciding to host all of their video content on YouTube without even considering following the legally-required bidding process - because there was no realistic competitor. That's pretty telling.
You have to appreciate that a system which increases your overall safety but that comes with so much overbearing annoyance that users refuse to use it is itself useless.

If NHTSA mandates driver attention management systems in all cars then this calculus changes. If the driver attention management system is only required while AutoPilot is on, then the requirement is actually counter-productive to overall safety, e.g. results in increased deaths.
I gave a talk on this at the PyBay conference this summer, and more recently at the ChiPy meetup in Chicago last week.

It covers assignment expressions in some depth, as well as highlights elsewhere.
I can definitely speak to that (having done multiple go-lives for third-party ERPs and WMSes and such for my current employer). There are definitely tradeoffs between going with something off-the-shelf v. developing in-house v. something in-between (e.g. a system that's ostensibly "off-the-shelf" but expected to be heavily customized), and the vast majority of the time you're gonna be best served by something closer to the "off-the-shelf" end of that spectrum, no matter how much you think your "special" business needs warrant it.

That said, a lot of these sorts of systems are notorious for being pretty awful, too. Yes, there are many millions of man-hours poured into them, but that doesn't mean they're good; those man-hours could very well be spent on trying to implement every bell and whistle under the sun while entirely neglecting bug fixes, for example (and - speaking from experience - that is a disturbingly-common example). Also, having a bad UX can (and often is) a fatal problem for such a system (sometimes even in a tragically-literal sense, e.g. with EMR/EHR systems and other medical software); the whole point of business software is to optimize user productivity, so the last thing you want is to make the user's life harder.

So yeah, tradeoffs. If you're gonna fall into the DIY trap, the key would be to not try to replace the entire ERP or entire WMS in one go, but rather to build smaller tools that optimize specific business processes, and make sure those tools stay small and maintainable; any expansion of features should happen through interoperability between tools rather than trying to build a giant bloated tool. If you're thinking "wow, that sounds like the Unix philosophy" and/or "wow, that sounds like microservices", that thought ain't exactly a coincidence.

The kind of people that join a club to prove they are high IQ are likely insecure and feel the need to peacock. No wonder there's a higher incidence.

Most high IQ people I know think Mensa is stupid and just want to have normal lives and hate talking about intelligence and think it's irrelevant and a cringe-worthy topic.
Jobs and companies are designed to die when they are no longer competitive. Corporate legal structures do not ask as deep questions of the individual participating as a marriage does.

Child producing relationships work better with two consistent parents. Divorced parents still frequently share custody and are forced to deal with each other. The idea that you can be truly divorced with kids is a strange one.

Couples without marriage cannot truly divulge the deepest secrets, go into the deepest of exiled places with someone else without a binding relationship. Not that marriage seems to mean that anymore, with the societal expectation that both sides will leave when it doesn't work for them anymore.
> However, most people are unwilling to participate in the cultural institution of marriage without also having a legal marriage.

I don't think it's a lack of willingness, I think it's social pressure. If someone told me they were "married", but hadn't actually been legally married, I would find that odd.

I'm ambivalent on the whole thing; I tire of people gossiping about how so-and-so are "finally" getting married (if they're together and are both happy, that's enough), and I would be fine being in a long-term, unmarried relationship, but I don't feel so strongly anti-legal-marriage that I would make it a showstopper for a relationship of my own.
For those who have never heard of "sexual encroachment" and are wondering how it differs from "sexual harassment", Wikipedia covers it [1].

Briefly, she did not feel harassed or traumatized or victimized by it, but rather that her education was corrupted. She says: "Sexual encroachment in an educational context or a workplace is, most seriously, a corruption of meritocracy; it is in this sense parallel to bribery. I was not traumatized personally, but my educational experience was corrupted. If we rephrase sexual transgression in school and work as a civil-rights and civil-society issue, everything becomes less emotional, less personal. If we see this as a systemic corruption issue, then when people bring allegations, the focus will be on whether the institution has been damaged in its larger mission".

This 1000%. I am an agnostic, yet I accepted to have a church wedding for respect for my future wife. And the whole wedding day has been one of, if not the most amazing day of my life. That caught me utterly by surprise.

And same could be said about many other aspects of life together. It made things better between us when I didn't expect they would, not just like that. It brings people closer. I couldn't care less about financial risks, I won't be taking money to the grave and life is damn short. There are far more important things in my life than zealously watching out and calculating cost/benefits.
Depression can be due to situational factors or biological factors. If you are smart and your depression is situational, yeah, problem solving can do wonders.

But fixing biologically-based depression is much harder and, even if you try to do it, it's not guaranteed to work. We don't have a solid enough understanding of the biology of biologically-based depression.
Which is different than the standard adopted `std::futures`?
Yup, C and many other languages also have it:

It's not undefined because the thread doing the reading is the same one that wrote the value in the first place, meaning there is no cross-thread behavior at the moment and therefore the memory model collapses down to the single-threaded model (where all atomic accesses are irrelevant).

> I've noticed that eating a big lunch makes the following hour extremely unproductive

I used to work with investment company boards and so I spent a lot of time in all-day meetings with a bunch of old men. I called the hour after lunch "nap time" because at least one of them would always fall asleep.
I work for one of the organizations cited in the article and worked on this investigation. There were several arrests in 2016 and things have mostly been back to normal.

You're right about jamming. I'm aware of several thefts in which covert cargo tracking or driver cell phone tracking was employed. At the end of the day they jam the signal, search the trailer, and discard the device or in the case of driver tracking..just turn it off. Tracking isn't the way.

There is very little the shippers can do to prevent it as well. It's up to the shipment broker to vet and identify identity theft of the trucking carrier when the load is being booked. Very few of them have any sort of security practices. The industry is woefully susceptible to even basic social engineering attacks.
Funny how the recent minsky affair made me biased. I watched this video thinking 'knew it, stallman was evil all along' whenever it just examplifies how history is denser than it seems.
China managed to quite quickly absorb the technology transfer from Alstom/Siemens to build high-speed trains. Now their trains are better than anyone else's and they have more high-speed rails than any other country. They even managed to beat competitors and export their trains to Turkey and Argentina...

I have no doubt their airplane will ultimately be successful.
> Rust’s approach is to include the interface to make a task (futures and async/await) into the language and standard library, but lets you import whatever runtime you’d like.

Why is this better than having one official, standardized, optionally importable runtime?
Maybe sports teams are a horrible way to think about it.
In a nation of 300+ million people and a 50% divorce rate, that statistic speaks more to how few divorcing couples have such an income disparity (or longevity of union) that alimony is even appropriate.

And if you think about it: generally when you have income disparity between wealthy spouses, its because the woman gave up her career to raise the kids (or more rarely these days, did not have a career at all).

I've been rewriting one of my hobby projects. I'm going from vanilla javascript to react as a newbie in react. The project isn't even close to being finished when I started the task of rewriting a month ago and the main thing I've noticed is improvement in code structure.

I think someone would have a better time getting their head around the code now and without me guiding them than before. Although the project was already well organized. I make directory structure and naming conventions a high priority/OCD obsession. I think thats mainly why my hobby projects never see an end.

Unlike the author I haven't went with Redux and I've been just using react context with hooks for passing data. I'm really pleased with react context because now things are even more organized than without using context. The only downside with react that I've encountered is trying for the least amount of re-rendering when context changes. I've been reading a lot of optimizing react blogs online. I'm trying to make the app realtime focused with websockets and I don't want to face a difficult situation later on where many users blows up the app to a crawl. Anyway I just wanted to express context is really useful so far.
High financial agency in no way makes someone immune from family, peer, or even societal pressure.
The reason why assignment expressions initially were not allowed in Python and why they had to introduce "walrus" was because in languages that used single equal sign for assignment enable to easily make bugs by typing "=" instead of "==".
Everything you mention requires lots of research. "Eat well" is meaningless, for example. Depending on who you ask that might mean anything from paleo to its near polar opposite, vegan. The scientific consensus is not in. Hell, it's not even clear if eating whole eggs is good or bad for you, the recommendations keep seesawing.

Similarly ... How much exercise and what kinds? There's plenty of people who hurt or even kill themselves by doing the wrong kind of exercise, or overdoing it. Serious long distance runners, for example, die younger than more moderate exercisers, and they have terrible knee, foot, and hip problems past middle age.
>... curtail the social, political and human rights of anybody, anywhere on Earth.

FTFY. CCP’s objective here isn’t limited to enemies only.
I don't think they can increase service fee much more. The endgame will be to have enough users and drivers that they don't need to increase prices and can make their share from volume, ads and deals with restaurants. Economy of scale + Winner takes all.
As someone who has been on both sides of that belief, I can agree that it generally has a stabilizing effect on people's mental state. However, once you lose that belief, it is very difficult to make yourself believe it again. And probably even harder for people that never believed in the first place.
I wonder what percentage of the world's trees have been carbon dated. I'd bet that effectively 0% of the world's trees have been carbon dated and that there remain older ones out there.
If there IS A SERVICE. Releasing new version of software is not really service, Netflix is. If new version is compelling enough I'll upgrade, if not then it is vendor's problem. As a customer I could care less what suits better for Vendor. I am not paying $5-10 or even more/month 100 times. That is insanity.
> As a developer who has primarily developed applications in Python for his entire professional career, I can't say I'm especially excited about any of the "headlining" features of 3.8.

Python is a fairly old, mature language.

What features would you have been especially excited about?
>> "Therefore if someone says their pronouns are all Apache Attack Helicopter (and someone will), and you are aware of it, you are obligated to say things like "I think Apache Attack Helicopter made a good point".

This would be obvious trolling. No one sincerely identifies as an Apache Attack Helicopter. No one doing this is making a worthwhile contribution, so there would be nothing worth engaging with. Report and move on.
I find where redux shines is when you move past the trivial app (which TODO mvc style apps are). Especially if you're sharing various portions of state between components at different levels and routes.

You have hooks for redux too, the following is at the top of pretty much all my main components.

import { useSelector } from 'react-redux';
import useActions from './ComponentActions';

In my *Actions file, I export a wrapper for the actions individually, which makes using actions pretty straight forward...

import { bindActionCreators } from 'redux';
import { useDispatch } from 'react-redux';
import { useMemo } from 'react';
...
export default deps => {
const dispatch = useDispatch();
return useMemo(
() =>
bindActionCreators(
{
someAction,
anotherAction,
...
},
dispatch
),
deps ? [dispatch, ...deps] : [dispatch]
);
};

I also rely pretty heavily on redux-thunk, which lets me do simple workflows for async...

export const someAction = (input1, input2) => async (dispatch, getState) => {
try {
dispatch(someActionStart());
const result = await api.area.someCall(input1, input2);
dispatch(someActionComplete(getState(), result));
} catch(error) {
dispatch(someActionError(getState(), error);
}
}

I'd probably use saga if I ever needed anything much more complicated, which is rarely the case.

In general, I tend to feel that following a few consistent patterns with Redux tends to let you avoid a lot of problem cases dealing with state compared to other options. Also, I tend to inject an intercept into my root reducer, this way I can force dispatch a starting state for purposes of integrated browser testing (gets deep-merged with current state).

beforeEach(async () => {
base = await page.evaluate(() => {
// set store to a different initial state
__STORE__.dispatch({ type: '__TEST_OVERRIDE__', payload: startingState });
...
return __BASE__; // <-- injected configuration via server
});
...

As a "gifted child" of the 80's, this is obvious to anyone who was identified as one or had friends who were. Depression, OCD, anxiety, etc. are all very common in that crowd.
