> Shareholder lawsuits against executives would be a better way of policing fraud, but they are uncommon, likely because they are not as lucrative for lawyers.

There is an interesting case where they were lucrative for lawyers. The government wanted to discourage "short swing" trading by executives and other insiders. That's a series of trades that includes both buying and selling.

The way they did this was the brilliant rule 16(b). That rule says that officers, directors, and people who own more than 10% of the shares in a company must turn over to the company any profits from short swing trading of the company's stock that occurs within a 6 month period.

So if Bob the CEO buys company stock at $100/share and a month later sells it at $120/share, Bob owes the company $20/share.

What makes it brilliant is:

1. If the company doesn't act and ask Bob to cough up that $20/share, and shareholder can sue Bob to make him do so,

2. If Bob loses, Bob will have to pay the attorney fees of that shareholder,

3. The shareholder did not have to be a shareholder at the time of Bob's trades. They only need to be a shareholder when they file the suit.

The people that 16(b) applies to are the same set of people who are required to publicly report their trades. There were law firms that would get those public reports in machine readable form, have a program go through them looking for people who profited from short swing trades, buy one share in those companies, and then sue. They easily would win, and Bob would have to pay his profits to the company, and the lawyers got to collect their fees from Bob.

And that's not even the worst of it for poor Bob. Suppose Bob had bought at $100, then sold at $90. If that's all he did, no problem because he had a loss, not a profit. But suppose that Bob then bought at $80 and sold at $70. Bob has suffered a loss of $20. No profit, so at least no 16(b) problem, right?

Not so fast. Suppose all four of those transactions took place inside of 6 months. The short swing profit calculation doesn't really care about timing. It just looks for the highest sale price and lowest purchase purchase price in the window and matches as many shares up at those prices as it can. Then do the same thing for the remaining shares, and so on, until as many shares as possible have been matched up.

Bob's buy $100/sell $90, buy $80/sell $70, which is a $20 loss according to Bob's bank account, would be seen as a $10 profit--the buy $80 would be matched with the sell $70. Bob ends up coughing up $10 to the company, on top of the $20 he actually lost, and whatever he has to pay the lawyers who sue him if it comes to that.

This turned out to be so effective at stopping officers, directors, and 10% shareholders from making money off of these short swing trades (or even from breaking even) that they largely stopped even trying--and with no enforcement cost to the SEC. Those people, if they want to trade in their own company's stock, have to pick a direction (buy or sell) and stick with that. If they want to change direction, they need to wait more than 6 months.
Judging an outdated format (DSLR) with an outdated website perhaps isn't the best way to go about it. Instagram would be a better data set.

> Have people complaining about this ever really given good bluetooth headphones a chance?

I have bluetooth headphones, but I still rely on my wired earbuds if I go running, or if I want to travel light, or for phone calls. And I also have regular non-bluetooth good quality headphones that I like to use (especially when the bluetooth ones run out of battery). For me, it's not only a matter of sound quality, but I find it convenient to be able to plug any headphones without bothering with bluetooth.

I've experienced this too. I had a tumor removed from my head. It was pretty serious. I'm not sure if it's due to the anesthesia, physical stress of the operation, changes to brain blood flow or radiation that my brain was hit with.

Either way my memory has not been great since. My wife is disappointed when I forget meaningful conversions from a week ago. I struggle at times to notice trivial errors, really struggle. I can look over the same email and miss several mistakes. Other days I'm clear, I don't make many mistakes and I can spot them easily.

I still managed to get an Engineering degree and hold down regular employment as a software developer. But there are periods of time where my focus and productivity are just not there. I suspect this will hold me back in my career. But I'm thankful I can function as well as I can and have survived to this point.

Agree, nix itself is actually fairly simple. What it is hard though is functional programming, an that's the biggest road block for developers that are used to imperative programming.

Places that use functional language for their code base don't have problems picking it up. It is especially big in Haskell community, because Haskell is also lazily evaluated.

People might wonder why not use language that more people are familiar? The reason for it is that purely functional and lazily evaluated language is basically behind Nix's biggest strengths. Purely functional means for the same inputs(architecture + source code + dependencies + configuration options + etc) you should get the same output, there's no mutable state the languages always starts the evaluations from a known state.

Why lazily evaluated? That makes the Nix only evaluate things that are necessary to obtain given derivation.

I think when people talk about Nix being confusing they really mean NixPkgs. Which is like a stdlib of Nix. The thing is that Nixpkgs in a constant flux people who work on it work on different components somewhat independently. Also often they realize better ways of doing things, and often the documentation doesn't keep with it. I think that Nix needs some kind of mechanism for literate programming where documentation would live together with the code and would be updated at the same time. There are some effort for example like the NixOS options page is generated from the source, but that's just just small part of Nix and only applies to NixOS.

I also would love if nix would standardize on how to pin nixpkgs. I recently discovered Niv[1] and it makes reproducible builds so much easier. I think Nix also needs some opinionated tooling to create dev environment for each supported languages, currently people need to do it themselves, and it takes a lot of research.

I think Niv + lorri + direnv make dev experience extremely enjoyable. For example a python project set up that way. Once you enter the directory, you have the exact version of Python installed that has all the dependencies (of course with locked versions) and all extra development tooling that developers need with exact same versions. All you need is just run the application and it just works every time. If somebody broke something you can easily use git bisect to find when and why it broke.

Nix fails to document though how a new user get to that point, and desperately needs help there.

I second this. People who have been using emacs a really long time forget how hard it is to get started. Especially when coming from a full featured editor like VSC. Spacemacs made that transistion so painless for me and showed me what emacs was capable of.
I use my iPhone XS on Fi.

You don't get carrier switching (T-Mobile only) and visual voicemail is done through the Fi app instead of the native phone app. Also no WiFi calling/SMS.

Other than that it works fairly well and costs a lot less than a standard plan at the other carriers.
We're headed towards a collapse either way, with many, many millions dying. Very possibly billions over the course of this century. Either it's a major society upheaval leading towards positive change, or it's just general societal breakdown as civilization as we know it becomes impossible. Our current political-economic system is simply not up to the challenge, so not having upheaval is not an option.

A comparatively mild collapse sooner is better than later. This really is an existential threat like we have never experienced.
I'm a journeyman in this space, and don't know emacs well. Can you help me unpack your comment here? You write python in the database directly?
And I hope you'll take this exchange as a wake-up call to how your sensitivity on the topic is affecting your ability to think about it clearly. I'm not criticizing anyone. I'm stating a fact. Someone in the position I described is looking for charity. How you feel about the situation doesn't affect that.

>Expecting someone to stay at the same job (on the same insurance) for the rest of their life after learning about some illness, and calling anyone who isn't able to do this a charity-seeker, is asshole behavior.

Suggesting that needing charity due to circumstances outside of your control is shameful seems like the real "asshole behavior", which, if you think about it, is exactly what you are doing. I'm not criticizing anyone for needing charity. I'm pointing out that's what it is.

I'm pointing it out to demonstrate that health insurance companies are acting like charitable foundations and filling their pockets while doing so, and their customers are getting robbed to pay for it.
In point of fact, they're pretty much the same thing. A population being ravaged by an unchecked pandemic is, needless to say, not likely to continue packing restaurants and theaters every weekend.

Social isolation happens to have been (responsibly!) instituted as a matter of public policy, but it was going to happen via fear at some point anyway. The economics doesn't care, really.
The stock price is based on the company's activity and future potential, not the other way around.

If Tesla continues to work towards a fossil fuel-minimized economy (and to my part, I hope they do), then their stock price will demonstrate this.

If you think investors will lose confidence and back out of Tesla because "the shorts", then they're demonstrating their faith (or lack of it) in the market, not the company.

Either way, a lot of this sounds like "we don't like the way _they_ play the game". Sucks to be a (regulated) free market, huh?

Is there any word on the screen material? I have a Pixel 3a that for the most part I really like, but one of the ways I think they got the price down was by using a glass that was much less scratch-resistant. My original Pixel never scratched, the 3a is scuff up badly after just 6 months. My iPhone 7 is a couple of years old and also has no scratches, so I'm hoping for a similarly scratch-resistant screen.

Indeed. There is some satisfaction in customizing things in order to get things done more easily, but there is more satisfaction, hopefully, in shipping code.

I used TECO to get grades back in the day, on a DEC-10. People used to write BASIC interpreters in TECO for fun. Then I went into the wilderness, where every system I used was uncustomizable. And then DOS, where Turbo C and Brief were kings. Eventually the system I used was Windows, and MS Developer Studio (before Visual Studio) had some macro recording capability. Then I joined a company where everything was just more convenient if you put Linux on your desktop, and for my limited Windows work, one of the Windows ports of Emacs was adequate, and a couple of our brightest were always using Emacs. These were the guys I wanted to emulate so I started using Emacs. But then I branched off and started using Eclipse, because I couldn't get ctags to work well enough with all the C++ code I was working with. Eclipse's remote solution seems to be dead so now I'm using Code.

I don't miss TECO.
yea not you're not willing "hacked" ventilator on yourselves then don't expect someone's grandparents to use it.
Every elected official has to care about economic outcomes. Because the electorate cares. Hell, some political scientists think that this is the most prominent issue people vote on. And that's assuming elected officials actually don't care about their responsibilities to their constituents, which may well be true for some, but it's wrong to assume as a blanket motivation (and I'd go farther: it actively aids corruption to cast all politicians in the same mold, because to do so is to lazily shrug off the responsibility of making case-by-case judgments, which is itself what enables uncaring leadership to operate without pushback).

The only thing that might matter more broadly than prosperity/poverty is life and health.

> Our grocery chain has been buying rice and flour in bulk from restaurant supply houses and repackaging them in 1lb bags. Pretty agile if you ask me.

I haven't seen that yet, but at least one grocery chain in my area was offering 25 lb bags of flour for sale about a month ago (or maybe they were 40-50 lb bags).

Haven't been back since to that store since to see if they're still doing it (been slowly rotating through the four we visit regularly), but flour has been available in 5lb bags so long as you're not too picky about the brand or type
I do not think this argument is relevant to estimating effect sizes, rather than binary outcomes as the Less Wrong post does.

If the claim had been "no patients treated hydroxychloroquine recover", and the study found no patients that recovered, the argument would apply: there's no evidence that patients recover, which starts to suggest that indeed, patients do not recover.

But here we are interested in estimating the size of the effect, which can take any continuous value. The statistical result is that the relative risk of death is, with 95% confidence, somewhere between 0.13 and 2.89. You can't interpret that as evidence relative risk is exactly 1 (equal risk with or without the drug) -- if you could, you could also take it as evidence the relative risk is 1.2, or 2.7, or 0.75.
You may have a parsing issue. I don't think it was "calling (us people) (cutters)". Instead, I think it parses as "calling (us) (people cutters)". I presume it refers to the murder (and cutting into pieces) of a journalist inside a Saudi embassy, presumably with very high level approval from the Saudi government.
Which is perhaps why the iPhone 12 rumors point to four new models, one of which is smaller than the iPhone 8 and one of which is larger than the current Max phones.

If that's true there will be 5 distinct iPhone models released in one year, which I think is a new record for iPhone model diversity.
Being minimalist is about what works specifically for that person. What seems to work for you doesn't mean it works for me. I have spent effort at intentionally designing my life and environment. Not having a tablet at that time was an intentional decision on my part.

Rather than using a tablet, I was using a Kindle Paperwhite so that I can take my library with me. I don't use it to browse the web.

I have quite a bit I use my SE, including Evernotes, my meditation timer, my Go client, etc. I don't actually need a tablet.

I have a tablet now. More because my wife and the T-mobile guy convinced me that I can use it as a backup 2FA device with Krypton. There are some use-cases that I am looking to incorporate things with... but again, I don't actually need it. I probably won't take it with me when I travel.

That seems like the perfect solution to the problem of newer Android devices losing USB mass storage support because the internal data filesystem is no longer FAT32 and they combined the partitions together into a Linux-format one. Unfortunately a quick Google suggests no one has tried to take that file/concept and implement it so the Android device could present a virtual USB drive using that with a directory on the "host", but I guess that just makes it an idea for anyone else who has some time and would like an interesting challenge...

In this case it really is not evidence of an absence of an effect. In fact it should increase your belief that the treatment has an effect (e.g. if you did a Bayesian analysis), since the treated group did have lower death and ICU usage than the untreated. However this evidence does not rise to the 1% or 5% that we traditionally use, so it's fair to conclude that we don't know if the drug works or not.

This experiment is so small that it had virtually no chance of ever being able to detect an effect on the probability of death (what statisticians call the "statistical power" of the experiment is only 10% whereas a well designed study should aim for power above 80%). Even if the drug cured 100% of people it was given to, a study this small would not be able to statistically conclude whether the drug works. Since the baseline death rate is only 4%, it takes fairly large samples to be able to detect any change. A 200 person experiment has basically no hope of being able to detect a difference in the death endpoint (there is a bit more hope for the more common ICU endpoint).

Shareholder lawsuits make sense, because the shareholder is seeking redress from a specific harm to them caused by the company. The long-term effect this may have on the company is irrelevant to the suit, especially for publicly-traded companies where individual shareholder ownership is so small as to be immaterial at a per-shareholder level.

Imagine that I accidentally hammer my thumb and sue my hammer for the injury. I find it guilty and have it destroyed. How did my situation improve? All that happened is that I'm down a hammer.

Your hammer is literally just an extension of you so you are just suing yourself. A company is not just an extension of its shareholders. In fact, the whole point of the corporate form is that the business is separate from its shareholders legally, financially, and for all purposes (except for some reason First Amendment rights).

As you mentioned you're comfortable with vi, Spacemacs probably should be a good start although I think it kind of overloaded. Doom emacs should be a better/lighter option to start with till you ready to create your own edition.

I suggest don't go full inside but start slowly incorporating emacs into your workflow.

If you write code then using emacs only for git via magit for the first couple of weeks should be a good start (while reading some emacs related book in parallel).

Then try to experiment with the org mode, this thing alone might get you on the hook to be productive with the tool.

If you like the experience then I suggest you to consider buying ergonomic keyboard like ergodox/maltron/kinesis advantage to improve your typing.
