Genuinely asking, I don't understand the distinction you're making. Weren't these folks shareholders?

Is the idea that if you're no longer a shareholder, this makes you bad?
I'm 99th percentile, 6'6". If I had to pick a height it would be 6'4".

There are certainly benefits, but most people ignore the drawbacks when discussing height. I like to put it in perspective for shorter men who feel unlucky as well.

The argument about attraction makes no sense to me either. People reporting they like tall people also care about other traits. If you find a partner who fetishises you just for your height you really haven't gained anything, it's still just as hard to find actual love.

Let's not even get into the advanced math required to find positions that work with an average sized partner.
Personally I like black's style in function argument formatting better than PEP8, assuming the example given is representative of both styles; I find black's to be much more readable.

But that's of course a bikeshed.

At any rate, if black's formatting does break PEP8 (as a downthread commenter rebuts), I would think it's weird that black doesn't have a --pep8-correct flag or something for people who do want PEP-compliant stuff. Certainly black can go its own way, but if people are going to consider it "the blessed python code formatter", it should have a mode that actually conforms to the python standard for formatting.

But hey, ultimately it's the black maintainer's choice.

Sadly, people who get it right are frequently remembered as "lucky" after the fact or even sometimes get maligned in some manner.

When I took archery in college, I was the only one in class who could consistently hit the bullseye. I also practiced up to two hours a day.

A classmate who didn't practice, who had terrible form and was holding the bow all wrong and who couldn't manage to hit the target at all snidely informed me one day that it was all luck. He completely dismissed the idea that either proper form or practice made any difference whatsoever.

I know that in complicated situations, it can be quite hard to determine what actually worked and why. This is why humanity has practices like deferring to experts with a solid track record of success as evidence that they know whereof they speak, even if it basically looks like stuff and nonsense to most of the rest of us because we don't all have a PhD in that subject and a zillion years of experience like them.
It's different in the cities. Especially large ones with reasonable immigrant communities. In Toronto, for example, a very sizeable portion of our grocery retail is via small grocers. The prices are cheaper (they source from small farms that supermarkets can't logistically coordinate with) and the quality (especially flavour, but often shelf life too) is almost always better. There are also clusters of small grocers like Kensington Market where rare foods are available that you just can't get at a supermarket. Rare spices, cheeses, or even a real thick, old fashion greek yogurt (perfect for home made tzatziki). The one thing that the small grocers skimp on is presentation though. The fruits and veggies are less shiny or less washed.

But in smaller towns in North America it's getting rarer and rarer to see even an independent butchery, let alone veggie market or bakery.
The last TV I bought had a multipage EULA before it would even boot. If you declined to agree the TV turned itself off. I wouldn't be surprised if new cars had the same thing.

Yes. I can think of a few examples of this.

I assume no more iOS updates are coming for the SE. Pretty soon your apps won't upgrade, and won't talk to the app servers, and you can't install new apps.

So you don't have a compelling reason to switch now... but in a year or so you unfortunately will. It's what happened to me with my iPhone 5. :(

> "This blog looks specifically at performance, however there is a section at the end of this blog that also outlines other key differences."

Memcached is not a part of this comparison, only Redis and forks.

It's hard to summarize much more in a single blog post and is really up to the dev to do the research before picking a solution.
I'm still amazed that companies like Zume were getting funded in the first place. Not that there was anything inherently wrong with what they were trying to do, but just... was it even appropriate for a startup to be taking on these tasks.

With Zume specifically, they were working on compostable packaging. Great... though most people aren't going to be able to actually do composting. If this packaging does perform as good or better than conventional plastic packaging, why does Zume need to do that? Is it really central to their mission?
Want to build software products? You no longer need to be extremely technical
There are already "Name Spaces" in C and modules are actually object files or libraries.

You can spread components in as many object files or libraries as you wish.

IMHO it's not a C related problem but a code design one.

Write libraries (with headers) only if you need to share the code but if you're not sure about that just include it for your specific program.

There is no shame to include local files containing declarations and definitions.

I think it is a misconception from C programmers to write headers for local purpose.
Fair enough but screwing speculators in favor of die hard fans is not enough reason to hold off.

> So while people like me prioritize the 4-inch screen smaller form-factor, Apple chose to embrace the SE as a "budget iPhone" brand that makes all the other "budget" competition look like really outdated and lame ducks.

In fairness, 4.7 inches is now a very small phone. So small in fact that you have basically no options that small in the Android line, and no recent iPhones that small either, if I'm not mistaken.

As a lifelong Android user, I'm very grateful that this exists. I detest just about everything about the Apple ecosystem and dislike the design of most of their products I've tried, but I will be getting an SE next time I have to get a new phone unless Android has responded, simply because that's the only way to get a quality phone that small. Even if it means giving up Firefox, for example.
I think that maybe a worse (or at least more widespread) part of this is that these are the people least likely to have good or any health insurance, and if they get sick enough to get hospitalized, they're probably facing a $20K bill. There's a lot of media lip service about non-medical essential personnel (a lot of horrid "thank you for your service" to people who have no choice in the matter but to starve) but no state effort in the US to (at a minimum) cover their bills or (additionally) to supplement their pay for risking their and their families' health. While we're ignoring them, we're passing stimulus bills to help bail out stockholders.
Store brand flour though is only $0.40 / lb (5 lb bag @ $2) so this really only makes sense of you can't obtain flour another way. Once you add in labor of splitting it up and billing everyone it seems like too much effort. Fwiw, it seems like the bread supply recovered very quickly.
Filing a lawsuit does not mean you will win.

Yes, you can tactically become a shareholder and file suits as some people do all the time. You miss earning you get hit by a shareholder lawsuit every time. This is not a rare thing, but also does not necessarily imply they have any reasonable claim to any damages. Could be just leeching.

The distinction between this and the SEC matter that was settled is that SEC is supposed to care about the integrity of the market at large, not just Tesla, Inc. shareholders doing well at the cost of other players in the market that were misled. That's a much stronger basis to argue for damages.
(sorry for the late response, I try to avoid social media of any form...)

I love F#. F# is by far my favorite programming language when it comes to writing enterprise software.

The problem with the F# job was that many on the sales team, and in upper management overall, were just bad people. They were a bad influence on my boss, the CTO and an otherwise good person. I ended up resigning over an ethics dispute.
Yes! I didn't need a case with my iphone 7 since it had a metal back that created friction in my pocket. My iphone x is glass and slips out of my pocket constantly so i had to start casing it.

The FDD Methodology
Wikipedia says 1,200 deaths so far in Sweden. Sure that might be ten times more than in Finland and Norway but given the dire predictions of two months ago, and even more dire predictions of a month ago, you'd expect this number to be ten times higher than it is now, or a hundred times. What about exponential growth and stuff? In a country with no lockdowns this disease should go rampant, right?

1,200 people dead of 10.3 mln is 0.012% of the populace. Not good but not scary either, for the Worst Pandemic Of Our Lifetime.

Theranos was never fine because the tech they wanted to develop simply wasn't possible. Had they not lied, they would have crashed and burned anyway.

> Many try to pivot.

Theranos did. Originally they wanted the machines in every home, then they changed tack and tried to make more conventional testing equipment with fewer capabilities. Even then, what they wanted to do wasn't possible. Theranos was lead by a college dropout. The chance of them ever doing anything productive in the biomed industry was nil. They turned to fraud because everything else they tried failed.

Fertilizer startup Nitricity wins BASES 100K challenge – The Stanford Daily
A lot of this situation reminds me of Y2K planning, but your comment is really spot on. Thank you.

Y2K is going to be a big deal if we don't do anything about it. We do something about it. People complain Y2K wasn't a big deal.

That, like this, means we're doing things right. Maybe we're going a little extreme, but the alternative is likely worse, and there is never a magic dial to spend just the right amount of effort/money/time.

I think hardwork generally does lead to promotion up to a certain point. My company will allow you to go from a 1 to a 2 on good contributions alone and time. Going from 2 to Senior takes additional time, but is more than just technical. It's about how well you can train other members of the team, work on special projects of difficulty, work without direct guidance, give regular feedback to management, work across department barriers, deal with customers...etc. It also helps if you're persistent.
Ask HN: How is Covid-19 affecting digital ads revenue at Google/Facebook
LA times just decides to "decided to furlough a number of employees" because "our advertising revenue has nearly been eliminated"[1]. Just wonder if the same thing is gonna happen at digital ads.

It's a fat joke.
I had to go to Spacemacs[1] for a few reasons:

- Using the spacebar to invoke functionality is a massive physical boon to usage. Stock emacs wrecks me from fingers to neck for an real amounts of usage. This is a purely subjective weakness.

- Spacemacs vi emulation. I drank the modal Kook-aid. Especially if one has to SSH into headless instances in the cloud. vi is part of the POSIX standard, so you know it's there and it's robust.

- Spacemacs engineering. Great package integration in the form of layers.

I wouldn't expect a given prophylaxis case to take more than ~2 weeks to assess (the recommended quarantine time), and I would expect there to be significantly more eligible participants for that arm than the others. Am I missing something?
Maybe I'm being unclear. I'm wondering why we shouldn't care about damages to day traders. Is the suggestion that those types of investors are doing something bad? I don't know anything about investing, but wouldn't they just be people who do quick trades?
While I’m at it, I’ll just mention that I see a ton more C code in the repository than it used to have.
As A san francisco resident, I got take out a couple times but I would not have considered eating sit down in the couple weeks prior to the formal orders. I was, however, marveling at how many people were still eating sit down.

They would have nearly all vanished once the hospitals started filling up had there been no formal order. And then it would have lasted longer.
Theranos was more like enron. They really didn't have a working product. It was all fraud.
If this were a class-action lawsuit by people who were shorting Tesla stock, or owned some option on it, I would agree that it would be serve the purposes of class-action lawsuits (aside from lawyer-enrichment). But it isn't.
I'm a longtime Mac & iOS developer (15+ years) and I still have an iPhone SE. The only thing I care about is the size. Won't be upgrading.
While I agree with you, I'll play devils advocate: The information in the documents is so bad, the damage it would cause would be worse than 9/11 itself.

What other logical reason is there for keeping it secret for this long?
We might yet have a vaccine in 6 months (optimistically) [0] though 12 to 18 months is much more realistic. Different categories of vaccines have different manufacturing and safety profiles [1] depending on which we a vaccine candidate might be approved sooner than expected, especially since 3 novel, previously untested platforms have made it to clinical trials, already.

[0] Even if shortcuts ... can be found, it is unlikely that a vaccine would be available earlier than 6 months after the initiation of clinical trials. Realistically, SARS-CoV-2 vaccines will not be available for another 12–18 months. From: https://www.cell.com/immunity/fulltext/S1074-7613(20)30120-5...

Judge smacks down copyright suit over Instagram embedding
"We" should, and "we" do, through SEC and other regulators or criminal investigation against the executives. That matter, however, is already settled, for better or worse. The suit at hand is on the basis of Tesla, Inc.'s fiduciary duties to its shareholders and it is hard to imagine Tesla did not do well by its shareholders at least taking a ~one-year lens.
You could double up on gains on a smaller phone by reducing the screen resolution, which reduces the power demand on the chip managing the display, and so on. Back when I had the Nexus 4, at 720p, I never felt it was pixelated or annoying. Then again, I don't watch movies on my phone either.

There are many jobs where a lack of attention to detail (i.e. spelling) on your resume will get you tossed aside from consideration. It's not unreasonable to request a Director of Engineering be held to a similar standard on a public-facing document like this.
Spacemacs is getting decent press here. How recently have you tried it?
Okay, damage to whom? The American people or individuals with compromised interests? I am unconvinced it's not the latter and that's a shame akin to the reality that we have to find of squaring with that it took a comedian pleading with tears in his eyes to convince Congress to do the right thing and even authorize funds for first responder's families.

Next question: More damaging than 9/11? Does that preclude the loss of life the morning of? To say nothing of the lives lost during the resulting military actions and regional fallout?

Let me end this by asking this: does this of all things really need a devil's advocate? The devil seems to be doing just fine pro se.

I'll be run out of town on a rail for this due to the Alex Jones association but what about the dancing Israelis? The limited amount of government documents released do genuinely seem to point to Israeli Mossad having some fore-knowledge of the attack.
Yikes, I was afraid there was a new tweet, but this is still the infamous 2018 one.

Still, I'm a bit confused -- as much as I think he deserved to be fined/punished for it, the $20 million SEC fine did that.

It seems like he should be subject to an SEC fine or a shareholder lawsuit, but not both -- isn't it redundant? I would assume that the SEC fine was calculated as an "appropriate" punitive amount -- not a punitive amount minus what they expected a shareholder lawsuit would also result in?

With these dedicated devices the engineers often were able to cut corners or use custom hardware.

This probably wasn't the case with DVD players (because the effort wouldn't have been worth it for a mass market consumer product) but 1980s Amiga home computers for example in some regard still outperformed mid-1990s PCs, which nominally were several orders of magnitude faster.

They were able to pull this off by clever hardware tricks and due to custom chips that were highly optimised for very specific use cases.

Run-of-the-mill PCs on the other hand were standardised and designed to perform good on average in most situations, not just very specific ones.
Ha! Posted this randomly 2 hrs ago, came back to see it #2 behind Apple iPhone SE announcement. We are all bored, aren't we? :)
That seems the problem in itself. We should, as a society, figure out how to do that more cheaply and without the incentive of profit. Too much chance of someone telling a bunch of lies or misrepresenting in order to make a buck.
The WW-II era USS Clamagore is on display in Charleston South Carolina, and I went through it while I was talking to the local Navy recruiter about going Nuke. I hit my head on just about everything bolted to the overhead, and banged my shins on all the hatch coamings. Even though the modern boats are much roomier, that was enough for me to stop talking with the Navy and switch to the Air Force.

Where are all the unused planes?
There are limited residency spots for med school graduates and if you don't get one you can't become an actual licensed doctor. The MD schools try to keep their admissions in line with the number of spots because that would be a raw deal to just pump out people with degrees in $500k in debt who will never get licensed. The residency spots are not controlled by the medical associations or the schools.

Subsidized in what way? Cities still have to have roads for buses and delivery trucks and the vast majority of road wear comes from semi-trucks so it isn't the roads themselves. Are you saying the visits are subsidized on the basis of the increased traffic costing the city more money than it receives from the tourist dollars spent by the visitors?
