A few weeks ago I read Naomi Klein's "This Changes Everything." She specifically mentions how the bailout - after the 2008 crash - was a missed opportunity; that WS' behavior could been nudged or more. Given what was at risk, it's difficult to disagree.

I must just live in a good area because I don’t understand why people still rally around this. In the past 10 years my home internet speed has gone from 15mb to 200mb with Charter/Spectrum without me paying another dime. They keep sending me free modem upgrades and there’s no fee attached. The service is good enough that I can stream 4 HD shows at the same time without an issue and internet based TV services are a viable option for people around the country. And I can do this without any noticeable drop off in work usage.

What is the expected gain from Net Neutrality at this point?
Oh, that happens all the time. The real test is when the official app gets approved and stays on the App Store.

True, but all such limitations serve to give an upper bound on the iteration count (which may not be a single constant but depend on the input). It can be demonstrated that if you don't have an upper bound then the language is Turing complete.

I'll chime in with my anecdata on US health insurance:

My SO has a condition that requires a pill to help out with. My SO has some trouble working regular hours due to this condition and takes one pill per day. Depending on the insurance, we have paid between $1 and $5 per pill in the past. This particular chemical is a part of horse feed. Like, how we just put Vitamin D in Milk, or Iodine in Salt; they put this chemical in horse feed. It does not change the cost of the horse feed appreciably, just like with human additives.

I was once offered a job. When we dug into the insurance that the job had, it would have cost us ~$100 per pill, or ~$3k/mo. It was an otherwise dream job, perfect for me. But a ~$36k/year increase in our yearly cost of living. We had to turn the job down, of course.

For a substance that they put in horse feed for basically free.

The last time that I posted this issue on HN, a VERY kind person pointed me to a way to buy this chemical online and in bulk. It comes to your door in volumes of about ~$100 per CUBIC METER. They ship by volume, not weight.

US Healthcare is totally, completely, utterly, broken.
>One immediate upside was that I only took a ~35% paycut due to being in a different tax bracket.

Are you in the US? If so, you can't save money on taxes by making less; it's a progressive system.
The source of the confusion is because a lot of assemblers will let you write [EBP+reg] or even just [EBP] (and disassemblers may correspondingly show those forms) but that's not how it's actually encoded; since the days of the 8086 (and BP, 16 bits) it was intended that BP would always be used with an offset to access memory in a stack frame (hence it uses the SS: segment by default), and thus the position in the encoding for BP without an offset was instead used for absolute addressing. This tradition continued in the 32-bit and now 64-bit (where R13 is the "high REX" of RBP), thus if you write [EBP+ECX], it actually gets encoded as [EBP+ECX+0].

There's the third operand --- it's just "hidden". Hence the somewhat misleading wording of that advice.

I wouldn't be seen dead using Google's GApps on my mobile. Before even inserting a SIM card for the first time on a new phone, I disable or remove all of Google's GApps. (If they can't all be fully disabled, then the phone is rooted and they're just uninstalled/removed completely).

I find it ironic and rather quite delightful that the US Government is in some small way aiding and abetting what many of us would love to see happen which is for the public to reclaim its public telephone system back from Big Tech, Google et al who usurped and monopolized it without our or anyone's permission.

That Huawei is the reason is all the better. Huawei won't take this lying down, and having seen how capable the company is and what it's done to date, it'll almost certainly find a solution/be successful. When Huawei is seen to be successful sans Google this hopefully may inspire others to do the same (or encourage new startups not already encumbered by Google's contracts/terms of service which make it difficult for current players—which, incidentally, is a monopolistic, restrictive trade practice).

As Governments have consistently failed to protect both us and the internet from these damn monopolies then perhaps this unusual form leverage is the only chance we'll get. Thus, we should take full advantage of the situation whilst it lasts.

Why won't the opponents of net neutrality do the same thing they did last time and just buy comments from ad-tech companies? Most comments last time (even the ones obviously programmatically added) were legit.

Shell companies were created, those companies would buy "leads" from ad-tech companies. Those "leads" were names/emails of people who checked a box saying "I'm okay if you use my name and email to comment on the net neutrality issue." There is no real way to tell where these leads come from. Theoretically the ad-tech companies will place ads on publisher websites which contain a checkbox allowing a user to "opt-in". Once the leads make it back to the shell companies, they can add those leads to the comments section because the person willingly (in theory) gave them their info for this exact purpose. In reality the ad-tech industry is rife with grey-hat SEO techniques at best, and outright fraud at worst.
It baffles me why someone banned 49 times would want to participate the 50th time. This is like being kicked out of someone's house and coming in a different disguise each time.

Also, very few are open source (Mixpanel, Segment, Snowplow, and Amplitude's tracking libraries are open source, Heap's mobile library is open source, but the backends and visualization platforms are closed and the primary value of the product).
TLDR: Offer RSAs and education!

From my other comment:

"I think the biggest gap that this guide and every one I've seen like it that they undersell the positive value for employees of the Restricted Stock Award (RSA). RSAs can be significantly better than ISOs in many situations.

There is no actual reason why companies can only offer RSAs to founders and super early employees. The taxes get trickier once the strike price gets high enough, but employees should have the choice to maximize their equity value!

From the very beginning of founding my company and still 5 years later, we offer our employees the choice to take their stock as RSAs, options, or a combination of the two. We also teach a mandatory "Stock 101" course every quarter for new employees that is a 1.5hr version of this guide.

Too many employees' (engineers in particular in my experience), don't actually understand how their equity compensation works and I think it's the responsibility of the company to educate them -- both for their current role and possible future job offers."

Only LEAs which use both BP and the index registers at the same time (or the three operand LEA variants)

The insight here is that LEAs which "use both BP[sic] and the index registers at the same time" is the same as "three operand LEA variants", because the instruction encoding does not allow using BP as a base without an offset. The offset is there, it's just encoded as 0; but the hardware does not bother to check for a 0 offset and emits a uop to add it anyway.
Indeed. A national ID card with a driving endorsement would be far superior, and is the direction we’re headed. Your driver’s license is already a national ID technically with REAL ID requirements, and if you’re a truck driver with a hazmat endorsement, you’re going through DHS anyway.

Traditionally, following Harry Frankfurt, volitions can be separated into two camps: first-order and second-order. First order volitions are things you just want (such as food). Second order volitions are things you want to want. Someone who only has first-order desires can be said to have no free will. Addiction (and especially brainwashing) are a detriment to second-order desires in that they limit your self-control and take over the second-order desires.

Not all addictions are the same, and the fact that some people are able to stop their addictions attests to that. But they are definitely in a "meta" category of desire which childhood experiences and genetics are not.

>Consider first the unwilling addict, who is someone that has both a first-order desire to take the drug, and a first-order desire not to take the drug. Crucially, however, the unwilling addict also has a second-order volition that her first-order desire to take the drug not be her will. This is the basis for her unwillingness. Regrettably, her irresistible addictive desire to take the drug constitutes her will. Next, consider the case of the willing addict. The willing addict, like the unwilling addict, has conflicting first-order desires as regards taking the drug to which she is addicted. But the willing addict, by way of a second-order volition, embraces her addictive first-order desire to take the drug. She wants to be as she is and act as she does.

>It is now easy to illustrate Frankfurt’s hierarchical theory of free will. The unwilling addict does not take the drug of her own free will since her will conflicts at a higher level with what she wishes it to be. The willing addict, however, takes the drug of her own free will since her will meshes with what she wishes it to be.
It also assumes that you are trying to learn thousands of new words in a foreign language, which requires less effort per card than almost any other exercise. Humans are natural language learners, after all. The OP was struggling to deal with 20 new cards a day on music theory and computer science.

It's also why 3 operands with LEA is slower than 2 --- the microarchitectures thus far have no 3-input ALU, so it gets cracked into two (dependent) uops.

The standards that have us thinking about this in terms of % ownership of the company is part of the problem IMO. Future rounds and other factors can quickly make this calculus impossible or with 1000% error margin.

IMO, the correct way to approach this is keep everything in terms of $$ values. There is available research online that can allow you to aggregate data for comparable companies on things like:

"if the preferred shares price was worth $X per share at the series A, what was the that same share worth at IPO/acquisition?" It's still not easy to answer as the data is sparse and widely varying, but thinking in these terms normalizes the conversation around dollars and gets rid of the "what dilution might happen" part of the equation.

For example, my company is in the open source data infra space. So while its hard to get very many data points, trying to get info about the preferred and common share prices at each round and all the up to IPO of companies like MongoDB, Hortonworks, Elastic, Cloudera, etc -- even though they all raised totally different number of rounds and IPOed at different valuations -- in aggregate you can start to build an insightful picture.

Seems like The Economist has strengthened their paywall in 2020!
Amusingly, assuming the example company's pricing remained the same throughout rather than cutting prices each year, the client base ends up fixed, the clients get 5x better service by the 5th year, while accounting shows a decline in performance.

External perception of business health (5x better service!) unintuitively is masking the the accounting reality here (worsening returns).

(Now look at all these cloud services giving better services and pricing every year, seemingly very healthy...) :)
Not only that, but even after years of gym going and explicitly trying to find my most efficient workflow, the shower, changing to/from workout gear and driving to/from gym, makes each workout take 2 hours (1 hour training + 1 hour logistics overhead). 2.5 hours if I talk to my gym buddies or use the sauna/hot tub.
Architecting for Multicluster Kubernetes
Good question. Their libraries are robust and certainly useful if you want to develop real applications. I'm not sure but I'd say no because I think they add an extra level of complexity of a newbie. They are also quite opinionated which some people may dislike.

I talked about "confusion" because I suppose a newbie may quickly be confronted with this question, for intance if they want to follow "Real World OCaml" which is based on Jane Street libraries.

The tooling around OCaml has really improved a lot these last few years (opam, dune, core/async, merlin, ppx...). The downside is that it raises the bar for newcomers.

> Of course, people like money, so Amazon is rolling in it while most people don't even know that they can sell their camera to B&H.

But people don't like risk, either. To choose one of very many examples: consumers will often pay more for "safe" brands they're sure will be good than take a risk on something new that's significantly cheaper.

Obviously, Amazon is doing better than B&H, but there's other explanations for that, and it's not like B&H is doing poorly.

I'd assume that this has a similar scope to team discussions[0] released a few years ago. At the moment most larger projects have communities elsewhere, and smaller projects use issues for this king of discussion.

Superb. Many open source projects still bounce you to Google Groups for discussion, which is archaic at this point. Even requires Google login just to read threads.

Also it's often unclear what the policy is on raising questions in the issues tracker (smaller projects are usually fine with it, bigger projects get overwhelmed and don't want it). This will make it a much nicer separation for everyone and keep the issues tracker minimal.
