"A simple object is perfect if no events are needed."

To my understanding calling an objects <any_method> can be interpreted as the object receives the message named <any_method> (with additional args).

From that point of view there is nothing but messages: method calls are also messages, so that part "no events are needed" does not hold, because if methods are needed then virtually events are needed.

"so use them only when you expect/require updates":
To me, it turned out I always expect/require update. The only question is in what form of. Via method calls consecutive or via "explicit" events. My intuition says that using Observables won't change the problems inherent complexity in any direction. << That's the real, deep question I think.

So if there are useful transformation functions to use with observables I don't know why not to use them in every case.

And yes, that is my point about how to account for it (and that both $120B and $120B x n are bad ways to express the loan significance, for opposite reasons).

Here I was addressing the narrower, quoted point, that they're loans "with short expiry built in". No, when the intent from the beginning is to keep rolling them over, that should no longer count as a loan with "quick expiry built in".

Being cognizant of unconscious bias doesn't make someone a bad interviewer, in fact, it makes for the opposite.

It sounds like you've had some combative interviews in the past (it sucks - I've had them too) but that's not the same as being aware of biases.
That's not true. The company would have plenty of damages to their reputation that a lawsuit would be perfectly reasonable. Not to mention the fact that lost market cap also damages the companies ability to hire and retain talent.

I don't know if I've been doing something wrong now. For my personal web apps, I've always just installed Nginx, Let's Encrypt, and then a docker image of my application/DB. Spinning this up on a fresh Ubuntu Server install takes less than a half hour if I had to guess. Nginx to force TLS and proxy pass to my docket image.

I'm not trying to be rude, just genuinely curious if I'm missing something complex that could be making my services less secure.

Yeah, there's no reason to saturate the control channel with high bandwidth data.
The exact opposite thing is true. If the article is bad, it needs to not be on the site. What's important are reliable articles, not how many articles there are. It's perfectly fine for a topic we know will be more obviously notable in the coming years to stall for an article until a decent one can be written.

This has been the ethos of the project practically since its inception. It's always startling to see people questioning Wikipedia's premises, since it seems pretty clearly to be one of the most successful volunteer projects in the entire history of the Internet.
For context, some other companies contributing to it are in the GPU space, so orthogonal to CPU-centric Dremio: Nvidia, Blazing SQL, and Graphistry (us). Likewise, the pydata big guns intersect a bit here: conda, pandas, ... . This effort got a BOSSIE award for GPU dataframes this year and is taking off now that it is becoming usable for more than just framework devs. The reason we all really on it is because a standardized columnar IO streaming format is an awesome idea for compositional HPC.

It does sounds like maybe Dremio's CMO wrote the original articles and it came off centered on them? (Did not have a chance to read.)

So the problem you've raised is with the government here, not businesses.

Perhaps government should not have so much power that people have an economic incentive to corrupt it?

As I see it, the founders did a good job with checks and balances relative to other countries, but if anything, they didn't go far enough.

There should have been a check on allowing anyone to favor any tax changes that they are not equally hurt by or that don't equally help everyone but themselves. One of the largest corrupting forces is that congresspeople and individuals can support taxes that others pay but not themselves. If you think something is worth being paid for, they you should also be among those that are paying for it. Anything less than that invites corruption.

> affirmations that you are doing the "right thing."

I'm not really looking for approbations--I'm happy to play this business game with a speed optimized team and see how my strategy fairs on merits against competitors maintaining two apps to my one. I'll make that bet all day long.

I'd say hold up and question your assumption that there is a "right thing" at all.

In terms of the perception of what is the "right thing", and the startup bias of this place, that could be true. I'd add though, that there's a reason houses are not made of rebar reinforced concrete. It's too expensive to work and rework. From that, I'd generalize that certain architectural patterns work better in some cases, and in others they are overkill. Wood works fine, and it is faster and cheaper to build with. And if you have to knock it down, you can rebuild the next one for cheap too. Neither is "right."

One thing I’ve had help melt the pressure on both sides of the table is a laugh. I’m fortunate enough to be able to sort of slice through tension and get a rise out of most people.

Stressing exactly what you’re looking for, that you’re not perfect either, that there’s no one solution, and letting them know things can be collaborative has been helpful too.

Let’s ping pong off each other and see where we get, I mean that’s what we’d be doing in the day to day right?

To this end I’ve sat down and added new questions to the interview guides at my previous position because I was concerned that any person asking the same question over and over again would really start to be biased towards some sort of “ideal” solution.

But there’s really nothing like a good laugh to put people at ease.

After one interview I mentioned that I felt I did a good job of interviewing because I could usually help relax the tensions which generally gets the best out of people and someone said that they didn’t think they’d ever gotten a laugh out of someone during an interview.

That’s a bit too serious for me.
Tell me about it. It is even worse when they are protected by the founder, who is either non-technical and considers the bozo a "rockstar" or is technical and brought the bozo in because of past relationships (friend, coworker, etc).

The bozo gets protected by the founders and all future developers have no career path, no say in the technology, and get to swim in the sea of an opinionated hot garbage codebase.

People who leave big companies for startups to escape the politics eventually get a rude awakening. Startups, especially very small startups, have a whole different set of frustrating politics. Not even sure which is worse to be honest.

They're subsidizing risk in a cumulative manner. When you hold things on your books you're subject to overnight risk (i.e. a big move can happen when there is no liquidity to move something because markets are closed). This can be managed by position sizing, hedging, repo ops, etc. If you have ~~unlimited~~ consistently increasing/available, government provided repo money available, you get to take more risks and don't need to buy other forms of insurance.

So there is some cumulative impact to argue the point, but like you said it's not the sum of the loans. That said, I don't think this bodes well if you're in the camp that thinks the bigger the bubble the bigger the pop.
Each time I've quit for an extended period of time it's taken me about three weeks to feel normal. During those weeks I definitely feel more grumpy and irritable. I'm also curious as to whether THC or other chemicals in the smoke have any effect on the body's thermoregulation, because each time I've quit I've also woken up drenched in sweat every night for about the first week or so. Crazy dreams as well.

This is bad advice. If you have a really good idea and a company in the same space with the money and resources to beat you to market sees it, it's very possible they will bring it to market before you.

Large companies like Google and Facebook will regularly feign interest in someone's app or idea (that they might want to purchase), only to roll it out themselves.

I have a music degree but have also engaged in a lot of self-study, so hopefully I can still make good recommendations for someone interested in learning on their own. The general approach I'd recommend is trampolining between on-paper theory and ear training, with the specific goal at each stage being the ability to identify by listening the structures that you're learning about on paper. The text I'd recommend is Aldwell's Harmony and Voice Leading, which is very focussed on the techniques of classical Western concert music but is still, along with its exercises, the best bet I can think of for building a solid foundation of knowledge that you can bring to other musical styles.

The most important thing I can recommend while starting out is to focus your ear training on hearing scale degrees (e.g., if I play a C major chord and then play a random note from the C major scale, you should be able to identify which note that is out of C, D, E, F, G, A or B). A lot of naive ear training resources recommend learning to hear intervals (e.g. a perfect 5th, which is the interval between C and G or E and B), but intervals only really have meaning in the context of a key, and so understanding them in that context is much more important. A good app for training with this on iOS is Politonus: it'll play a few chords to establish a key, and then it'll play a random note from the key and prompt you to guess which one it was. As you improve with this, you can have it play multiple notes at a time, or even notes outside of the key.

Recent Discord Instability and What’s Next
I looked into Zume a bit more and as far as I can tell it actually makes sense. They're not reinventing the wheel. It's odd that people are jeering at them.

Their initial focus was on incrementally improving the way pizza delivery works. The classic pizza delivery model was that the pizza was prepared somewhere (maybe a pizzeria, maybe some centralized kitchen), baked in a pizzeria near where it was ordered, then loaded onto a car for delivery. Zume combined the baking and delivery: the uncooked pizza would be prepared as usual, then loaded onto delivery trucks with automated ovens. Routes would be calculated, and pizzas would be cooked en route so that they arrived fresh out of the oven. Because the baking happens during delivery they don't need to pay for a fixed number of physical locations; instead they can predict pizza demand and scale capacity up and down by adjusting the number of trucks active in each area at each time of day. The intended result (at scale) is fresher pizza, delivered faster, at lower cost.

Obviously this can apply beyond pizza. There are plenty of other businesses in the food industry that operate the same way as classic pizza delivery. If Zume can provide them with scalable, low-fixed-cost delivery and final cooking, that's potentially worth a lot of money.
Honestly, after all the reshuffling and shenanigans around Reach, sharenow, etc, this seems pretty predictable. They never seemed to have a real strategy or goal beyond hoping to ride some PR wave.

Man, this reminds me of the story about the person that gets a position at a new company and it turns out they have a ridiculous tech stack where it's a custom language. The new person comes in and adds comments which breaks everything and somehow files have like a version history which affects how they run? Anyone have the link to that? There's some individual that developed all of it and gets the new person fired for breaking everything in production (because of course it all runs from head) and was portrayed very negatively.

Thanks, I'm reading it now.
My understanding based on arguments with a friend of mine who is a 23andMe executive, is that they argue that DNA data is not medical information, even when sold to medical companies for medical purposes. Their argument is not that the data disclosure was authorized by the patient for a specific medical purpose. I disagree with him that DNA information is not medical data. But if it's simply not medical or even personal data at all then he's right, they can do with it as they please.

I really think this needs to be adjudicated because people believe judges even when the facts are obvious and the arguments on one side are entirely economically self-serving and absurd (as 23andMe's claims about this are IMO).

Also in my personal experience with medical providers, they provide me with "privacy agreements" they require I consent to before they provide services and these agreements typically say I consent to their giving my private medical data to third parties for unknown purposes unrelated to my treatment. I have been point-blank denied treatment from hospitals, emergency clinics, and specialists, several times because I have refused to consent to these. Coerced consent, given under threat of actual death, is not true consent. Courts don't recognize that and med-tech denounces my position. Massive legislation putting an end to this is necessary and I have zero hope that will happen since Congress is in the back pocket of the misnamed "health care" industry.

Yes; Wikipedia's expectation is that authors have researched the topic about which they are writing, and therefore they are in the best position to provide the sources from which they got their information. The editors' job is to ensure that Wikipedia's standards are met, not to re-do the research that the author should already have performed.

If the case is that no research was performed because the author is already an expert in the area, they are still expected to provide citations so that the same standard can be applied to all authors.

Ask HN: Weird property of x^2+1=0 in modular rings
In a modular ring (the integers modulo p), there can be real (not imaginary) solutions to x^2+1=0. If p is a prime greater than two, then x^2+1=0 has two solutions if p=4n+1 (for some integer n), and zero solutions if p=4n+3.

I can prove that x^2+1=0 has solutions in pairs. (If x^2+1 = 0, mod p, then (p-x)^2+1 = p^2-2px+x^2+1 = x^2+1 = 0, mod p.)

I can even prove that x^2+1=0 has either zero or two solutions. (x and y can't both solve it for y != p-x, if p is prime, because if y=x+k, then (x+k)^2+1 = x^2+2kx+k^2+1 = 0 mod p. But x^2+1=0, so 2kx+k^2 = 0 mod p. That is, k(k+2x) = 0 mod p. But p is prime, so either k = 0 mod p, or k+2x = 0 mod p. If k = 0, then y = x (because y=x+k). If k+2x = 0 mod p, then k+2x = p, so x+(x+k) = p, so x+y=p, so y = p-x. Therefore there are never more than two solutions.)

Can anyone explain why there are always two solutions if p=4n+1, and always zero if p=4n+3?
I have a couple of questions for you:

1. Was your Rails app solely an API or did it also serve HTML/CSS on first load?

2. Did you build a reusable component framework for your Ember app?

3. Did you follow something like JSON API[0] and use EmberData to hook into it?

I've found that Ember apps with a Rails backend API actually fit together pretty nicely. Don't get me wrong, I like simple. I don't even have a single line of JS on my personal site nor do I use any libraries to generate it (I wrote my own static site compiler), but I've seen JQuery in practice and it makes me unhappy as the app grows because so often things get inconsistent in terms of UI. Plus there seems to be less overall structure of the frontend.

Like a sibling of my original comment, human morality is optimized for small tribes. In my opinion the point of the slogan is to instill some anarchy into the listener... some weariness of top-heavy hierarchies. In my experience, it seems that the existence of a top-heavy hierarchy is necessary for, and too often sufficient to ensure, widespread exploitation. It's relatively easy for one desperate person to rob their neighbor. But a hierarchy will allow you to convince normal people to participate in the robbing of everyone two towns over, or in protecting a powerful studio executive, or dehumanizing detainees, or...
