Exactly, thats the point. There's nothing that would justify spending on such a ring with that price other than purposefully making the Buffet-owned jewellery business $370M richer:

> Buffett met them at the airport and escorted them to Borsheims, a jewellery business he bought four years earlier.

Probably a no-brainer for Gates to decline this ludicrous price tag.
I heard this story from a local startup as well - an investor ended up losing ~$100k because the investor's email account was compromised and a lookalike domain was used to impersonate the startup.

I've been calling people out-of-band for verification using phone numbers from past communications, even if I'm working on transactions that don't seem out of the ordinary. Not that SIM card fraud doesn't happen, but at least that adds another layer of security.
Never work for free.

I had a guy contact me and con me into developing a feature for him and then disappear.

The other way to put this is, get paid upfront. Estimate your price, triple it, then demand 1/3 upfront before you start to code. That way if the client flakes out on the rest you're at least covered. (Heh... I wrote this from just the headline, before reading the blurb. Your friend who "refuses to take on a project without at least 30% advance" is spot on.)

Which brings me to the next gem: Charge more. The A-#1 mistake most people in every business make is to charge too little. (Flip it over: don't compete on price. Not as a freelancer/consultant.)

What else? Don't work for liars or incompetents.

Also, just because a client has money and is willing to give it to you doesn't mean that you should take it.

Sometimes the right thing to do is sit Gil down and tell him: your project is the Winchester Mystery House and I have better things to do with my time.

(Ah, Gil... what a client. He would come in to discuss the project, and we'd say, "Well, there's A, B, or C?" and he would say, "What about D? And E? Could it also F and G?" and the PM would smile and say, "Sure Gil! We can do all that!". It was the only project I ever worked on that had 100% code coverage. No, really, 100%. Every line. Every single line. Because Gil wanted it. :-)

So yeah, charge more, and brook no bullshit. It helps if you're good at what you do, or at least dedicated.
That's a misunderstanding of the article, it says that the issue is due to the leaky blood brain barrier. The chemicals for inflammation in the body aren't inherently bad, they're just not designed to be in the brain. Decreasing the source of that inflammation could help but it's not the issue being discussed here.

FWIW, I pay way less than that for health insurance an an annual basis. Even if two members of my family faced catastrophic health issues, my maximum out of pockets is less that 15% of my income. I am a reasonably high earner, though nowhere near the 1%. Lower income Americans have extremely generous subsidies on health insurance and medical providers often have programs to reduce or completely write off medical expenses of people who can not afford them.

> If you can't create a 200 person per year startup incubator that focuses on true learning instead of process hacking, then how could someone do it for a 20,000 person university?

As a university professor, I can at least try. Not at scale -- certainly not for my entire university -- but for my own classes as an individual.

There are several constraints, of course. I have to give grades, and students care about grades, a lot. These grades should measure (to some extent) how prepared students are to proceed to whatever is next. Students have a number of conflicting priorities, and it is natural to concentrate on whatever is most urgent. And students come with wildly differing backgrounds and interest levels (and amounts of available time), and I have to be consistent and fair to everyone.

But, when I grade, I have a lot of leeway to decide what I believe is worth measuring, and measure that. My aim -- which I hope I at least partially realize -- is to ensure that the best way to "hack" my classes is to learn what I hope the students will learn.
And no gloves. Gloves can get caught.

IF his forte is operations, more Ballmer and Cook to a visionary, it makes sense. Put a new visionary in charge of Google, and start focusing on turning the other bets into self sustaining companies. Maybe split google up a bit too, make CGP its own bet. You could even make the case for Youtube, Nest/Pixel, Doubleclick, maybe Android. Refocus google on being an information sorting and calling tool, whether that be search, shopping, maps, gmail, photos.

Google could benefit a bit from the Bezos API memo AND a bit from the Jobsesque "singular vision not kitchen sink of requested features" refinement. Paring google down and giving sects more singular visions, while encouraging cohesiveness might need a Bain Capital type chopman, but after that is said and done, Alphabet Chief should be more important than Google Chief.

Pichai's job should be demarcing responsibility and org chart, giving focus.
If what we’re seeing was 13.8B light years away 13.8B years ago and are now 46B light years away, wouldn’t that mean that those things traveled ~32.2B light years in 13.8B years. Wouldn’t that thus mean they travelled faster than the speed of light?

Maybe I’m misunderstanding though.

EDIT: I guess you also have to take into account the expansion of the fabric of space as well and not just the movement of the galaxies. Still a bit difficult to grasp because I still intuitively want to say that those galaxies are traveling faster than the speed of light with the assistance of space expansion like the old Hollywood trick of actors running on a moving rug to fake superhuman speed. They’re still moving faster, just not on their own. I guess the key difference is that an actor on a sliding rug is moving through space faster even if their legs are moving at the same speed, but in the case of the galaxies, space itself is moving thus they’re not technically FTL because the speed of light is relative to its movement through space.
"You’re mixing two things:"

Haskell vs. OCaml
It is. Nothing can move through space faster than the speed of light. That's not what's happening with the expansion of the universe. Space itself is expanding.

Silly ananlogy that absolutely should not be taken too far: imagine somehow shimming an extra micron into every metre here on Earth every second. Or an extra nanometre into every millimetre. Locally, nothing much changes at a scale you can observe, but Los Angeles is moving away from New York City at about 4m/s. And getting faster because we're still shimming extra length into "old metres"; the metre itself hasn't changed, but now there are more of them. If there were something a thousand times farther away from New York than LA, it would be moving at 4km/s and accelerating. A million times farther and it's 4000km/s. A hundred million times farther, and you're at 400,000km/s - but light can't go that fast, so you can't see it as the light can never reach you. Nothing is "moving" (other than the light in this case), but the distances between things is getting bigger nonetheless.

I think many Europeans don’t really understand how much less centralized and cohesive the US is than any given European country. That plays a big role in why our system of health care is so disjointed.

The value of high paying jobs in finance doesn't come from activities that can be automated, but from stuff that can't like connections(which university you attended, who your parents are, who you play golf with and also insider trading) and soft skills(charisma, drive, looks, personality, ability to influence people, lying to them or throwing them under the bus).

For example, people like Elon Musk and Steve Jobs could pick up the phone and convince some very wealthy people to part with their cash on some investments that ML algos would consider stupidly risky.

No, in the context of the conversation, it's an argument for a higher valuation of the entity.

Since Tim has taken charge, they’ve become much more diversified. The watch and the AirPod business is larger and will probably be longer lasting than the iPod business, the iPad is much more than a big iPhone, and they are in services.

Compare this chart to Google’s

The iPhone was a once in a lifetime thing. Even in 2007 there were 1 billion phones a year being sold (Apple said they wanted to capture 1% of the market by selling 10 million in its first year).

By definition, what electronic market can be much larger than one that has a 80%+ penetration?

It's a great advice. If my job,as a consultant,is to consult them,their job is to make sure payments do happen and they happen on time.

Many people will qualify for COBRA and simply don't realize that they have the option of keeping their insurance.

It's expensive, but that isn't a good excuse in this situation.

I don't understand the full implication of it. What exactly is the problem when a sealed used core starts to have some small quantities of UF6?
Huh? Why do you bring the law into it? No one ever said anything about that.
I didn't read the article but I suspect the reason is that space is expanding.

If space wouldn't have expanded sufficiently fast in the beginning of time, all matter would be still clumped together as in a giant black hole. The fact that space expanded "faster" than the speed of light allowed this black hole to become free matter.

Dress code is a weird one for me. I wish society, and businesses in general wouldn't make such a big deal about how you show up to work. Honestly as long as its appropriate wear, it should be fine. My manager wears slacks and tucks in his shirt, and I'm walking around in a hoodie or t-shirts.
Money isn't always the reason. In Chicago there are dev companies that are so toxic or imploding that they're well known.
T-bill returns shoot way up when interest rates are dropped, because now your T-bill is throwing off more money than a new T-bill. This is how a given T-bill mutual fund might go up 50% YoY. The reverse happens when interest rates rise. Even though the Fed is independent in theory, Congress surely has some influence and perhaps insider knowledge.
> As you can see it becomes not that clean quickly.

This is my biggest gripe with my fellow developers. Why they see the need of abstracting everything?

I don't see any problem in this code:

```
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
const [name, setName] = useState('')
const [school, setSchool] = useState('')
const [weight, setWeight] = useState(0)
const [height, setHeight] = useState(0)
```

but i see them in the proposed alternative:

```
function useFormState(initial) {
const [fields, setFields] = useState(initial)
const _setFields = (name, value) => {
if (name in fields) {
setFields({ ...fields, [name]: value })
}
}
return [ fields, _setFields ]
}
```

this kind of hooks likely are going to be extended in the future, supporting edge-cases, new features and so. But are these kind of abstraction necessary? Userland pushes them to the extreme with big packages.

All because the developer initially was seeing a "repeating pattern" in the code that was readable and testable.
The HASH write up sounds awful like multi-agent simulation. I've recently had to return to looking at these things and in a "oh my god I need to do some MAS work" type panic I was relieved and gratified to find the the GAMA platform - so far I'm impressed.

It's hardly suprising that opponents like yourself dont even bother to read up on the issue being discussed.

The article does not say significant number of prisoners finds love that way. It says literally: "It does occur - but as Cavendish points out, these instances are rare; [...] In short, the fantasy of these type situations rarely match the reality."

Article says the service exists and also that many those who write letters dont seek partner. (And also, I know about program where males write with prisoners and it is not about them being gay).

Quoting article: For those who instigate and sustain a relationship with a man imprisoned for a lengthy period of time, physical contact is obviously limited. They often never progress beyond the courting stage.
> i.e. rather tasty!

Most people don't find refined foods tasty. In blind taste tests, people vastly prefer the old McDonalds fries back when they used actual potatoes and fried them in lard. Then the American Government said it was illegal to use lard for "health reasons" and they need to use vegetable oil instead. As it turns out, vegetable oils are considerably more pro-inflammatory than lard and, as a result, are extremely unhealthy compared to lard.

> OK, but only in the sense that a car crash is a mechanical problem (there may be repairs to make).

You're making a category error. Self-stimulating activities and inflammation are orthogonal. Mechanical problems don't always cause accidents and accidents aren't always the result of mechanical problems. Similarly, not all self-stimulating activities contribute to chronic inflammation. Eating better will absolutely help decrease chronic inflammation, but smoking pot is anti-inflammatory.

I’m still trying to square the concept of “zero trust” here. The private keys never leave my devices, but the TailScale service is responsible for distributing public keys (which is what makes network access possible between my new system and another system).

If I’m understanding correctly: I open the TailScale app on my device, and auth to the TailScale platform using SSO. My device makes a private key, and sends my public key to TailScale. In the default mode, the TailScale platform gives me back the pub keys for other devices in my network, and gives my pub key to those devices. In the optional mode, an admin has to go into the TailScale platform UI and approve my device.

If that’s correct, in both modes, TailScale could compromise my traffic by making their own keypair and doing the pub key sharing process. Because it’s TailScale that’s responsible for validating my SSO before accepting my pubkey, and it’s the TailScale platform admin interface that’s responsible for deciding that an admin approved my device (if that feature is enabled), TailScale can just inject their own pubkey into my network. Am I missing something? Because that would be the opposite of “zero trust”.
Clinical trials are complicated beasts. The simplest answer is likely that the CRO running the trials - at least I hope its a CRO - isn't set up to target the kind of patients/doctors needed for approval or they don't have funding immediately available to speed that process up at the necessary scale.
Excuse my ignorance, but why are you rewarding Github and Twitter, which have enterprise/private business models not entirely based on ads ?

In essence, it's 'okay' for things to be FTL due to expansion of the medium. Imagine an ant crawling across a balloon as we stretch it. The ant could get some pretty fantastic apparent speeds relative to another ant because the medium is expanding, but step by step its moving at regular ant speed.

Or which parts of this process are executed by Whatsapps Software and which by the operating system iOS, for which Apple is responsible, not Facebook, but the manufacturer Apple.

Not sure what exactly that changes. It's still a relatively basic vulnerability and they still school the reporter after changing ("clarifying") their policy [0]. I realize it's worded to not come across as a threat but I'm not sure why that was necessary either. It might have been out of scope according to some H1 guideline the reporter wasn't aware of but what the reporter did wasn't really out of the ordinary.
