They would? Are you sure about this? Can you cite an authority on it? I don't know either way, except that I know from years of reading Matt Levine that the laws on insider trading are a lot more complicated than you'd assume.
I’d report that to the manufacturer and your local attorney general. It should at least be filed under price gouging laws.
What happened with Clojure and Coast? ;)
> So do the same thing with the good solution. Make it a UBI but call it a negative income tax and tell everybody you're giving them a huge tax cut (which for the majority of people you actually are).

I think this might well be doable. I'm definitely on board with smooth social security over square-wave social security (what we have now).

> But that's the same thing. Instead of purposely delaying the construction, just finish it on time and then go back and say "look how inexpensive we can build things now, let's build all the things" and get a hundred more construction projects.

I'd say the origination costs angle kills this. There is high pressure to keep the tender process high-bureaucracy from all sides, so you can scale single projects into many dollars but you can't start many projects.

This particular issue has not caused any "silly typo disease" problems that I'm aware of in D. In fact, pretty much nobody notices it, it just works the way people expect it to.

(There are some other things in D that are designed to discourage trying to overload arithmetic operators for non-arithmetic purposes. For example, < <= > >= cannot be overloaded individually, only as a group.)

Can you add links to the sources for these stats? They just sound unreal and I'd like to understand better how the cost of maintaining contact becomes so high.
I find these “total compensation” member-measurement rankings very misleading because much of these reported sums is actually in stock.

Someone who was hired by Lyft in 2019 got RSUs at double today’s stock price. A quarter or more of their total compensation has vanished.

Going the other way, someone who joined Amazon in 2017 got stock at 1/3rd of today’s price. Their total compensation has probably doubled as a result.

I guess sites such as Levels.fyi like to report total compensation numbers without context because most of their viewers come there to gawk tabloid-style rather than for actual information.
I'm really, really hoping that Elon actually asked a securities attorney and found out that if he is not short any Tesla shares, that he can just tweet that without repercussions.

I mostly hope this because I'd really like the option to die on Mars (by which I mean, of extreme old age in a comfortable bed in a luxuriously scenic habitat). Thus, I choose to believe that Elon's occasional manic episodes are just stress and sleep deprivation from obsessive overwork.
No I have not. Going on 3 years now?
Can the Library of Alexandria Tragedy Happen Again?
The problem with large websites is that there's a dozen layers of abstractions leading to large and inefficient code. But when it comes to just raw speed (iterating over a huge array of numbers in a tight loop, like drawing this chart), then it's blazing fast especially with JIT. That's specifically where a lot of people underestimate JS. I've seen a lot of people do things in the backend when they can just send all the data and do all the filtering/sorting locally leading to much faster UX.
I don't think those things. If you're curious about what I meant, I'd of course be happy to share. But this comment and your others are making me feel like that might not be a good idea to try right now.
I think I have to agree. I understand the impulse to say that it's implicit, and certainly the desire to build a quality product usually is. But in reality, to actually verify quality before you ship often requires a lot of costly infrastructure and time-consuming work. So in practice, it really is a lever that often gets sacrificed---usually at the alter of the timeline. You could argue that a feature that is broken isn't a feature, but there are many subtle degrees of broken-ness. A bug that happens 1 in 1000 times might be acceptable, or it might not.
Gotcha. Should've read more closely.
People need internship experience to get fulltime jobs. Cancelling internships is a terrible move for the future workforce.
I love Matt's views on the subject. At its core, as I understand it, the issue is who owns the information, and is Twitter licensed to distribute it as they see fit.

This is bad analysis. It's not even close to absolute.

He's not accounting for the volatility of the stock. That's the reason that premiums on tsla options have been and are so incredibly high.

He didn't even mention that the SPY is much less volatile over its entire history than TSLA individual stock considering it's an index of 500 large/mid cap stocks. Of course it's going to be less volatile.

Did he tank it? Maybe, but every tech stock had a dip around 11am. If he tanked it then the sentiment analysis bots tracking his tweets need to be tweaked a bit.
Mr. David Tango of Syfy's Ghost Hunters, is that you?
I agree that a citation is needed ;)

But in this case I think the case history points to OP being right, though you'd likely have to have a pretty egregious and clear pattern of such activity, and it would have to be deemed material information:

Somebody in my organization got very interested in Dgraph in its 0.7 or 0.8 days. The version was marked as "production ready", but it was an absolute trainwreck.

We were modelling individuals and contacts between them, and the cluster would constantly break with dataset sizes that should have been easily managed. There was clearly something wrong in the storage engine, because we saw insane disk space usage. Dgraph consumed 10s of TB for something that should have taken < 100 GB.

We were one of the largest installations at the time, and were working with the core development team, but they were never able to resolve the issues.

We eventually had to tell management that there was no way we'd be able to operate the thing given its disk space consumption rate, so we had to delay project delivery to rip out Dgraph and replace it with Postgres.

Surely it's better today, but I'll never use it again by choice.
And this is why so many Lisps fail. Lisp creators do not give a damn about "gimmicks" like a pretty landing page.
Thanks for the sympathy, I don't blame Lyft. They always seem to try and do right by the employees (at least compared to their major competitor). But the financial hit is hard. And if they are squeezing the intern program like this, it really worries me about the future of the company (esp. full time and new grad roles).
This is, in fact, the exact opposite of insider trading.

No one working at Twitter is also working at Tesla. Ergo, no insiders.

Anything that Elon sends to Twitter is instantly considered public knowledge and its data belongs to Twitter. If they delay his tweets to make trades that's well within their rights.
The proof is in the fact that a once in 100 year event has caused some stress? Of course it has!

"are you implying that real wages have grown significantly enough to protect the regular house hold?"

The alternative appears at this point to have been contraction.. so growth is better than contraction! I agree that it is not enough, but wage stagnation only started to finally reverse course after years of low rates.

Citing "profit loss" is beyond parody, profit loss! Not even citing actual losses! Like, they are still profitable? ROTFL!

5% is a small amount, and it is not as if there is a scenario where air travel is a robust business right now! There are not, at this point, widespread bankruptcies of large companies. I rest my case.

The vast majority of viruses that cause the common cold are rhinoviruses.

The problem in C is more than just the `*`. Consider arrays, where C uses `int xs[];` instead of `int[] xs;`. There is no way to use define to declare an int_array type like you did with int_ptr. (Function types also exibit a similar problem)
> The difference between Python, C++, Haskell, Common Lisp, Prolog, and SQL isn’t syntax

Ok, let's try: Do SQL without the SQL syntax.

P.D: I don't think we are that in disagreement ("The syntax just needs to be a decent enough interface to the semantics"), is that the claim of "syntax don't matter" make it look is just an irrelevant aspect of the language. Can be argued how much relevant, but after years on this trade, go to the C++ community (for example) and tell them to change the syntax to lisp syntax and see how much it will succeed.

Syntax is 100% tied to paradigms, idioms, and such. Is intrinsic to the language we use.
From where do you get that strings are mutable?
You could just as easily say that you agree on the feature set beforehand, and you deliver that feature set, not more, not less (you deliver sooner if you finish the features early).

"The quality level you agreed beforehand" is meaningless without some infrastructure and processes in place to verify it. And in practice, those infrastructure and processes are compromised at least as often as the feature set, the budget, or the timeline.
How true is this outside SoCal?

If he doesn't like Elon or Tesla's board of directors, that is fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

But it is like buying a utility stock and then complaining that they are boring and slow to innovate. It may be valid criticism, but what did you think you were buying.
Yes, I agree, but your correction also doesn't make that much of a difference, even after realizing this, we're still far.

On the other hand there is just maybe a page of explanation needed for a somewhat educated layperson to understand the construction of Graham's number.

So on one hand it's unexplicably big to the point where it's even unexplicable how unexplicably big it is etc, on the other hand it can be compactly described. It's an example of the power of thought and reason and deliberate design, making so much of so little.
Elective medical procedures have been canceled, so medical spending is down across the board. Most plans that are ACA-compliant will probably be reimbursing customers some of the premiums this year, similar to auto insurance.

I've heard Fin-tech firms have been cutting lots of fat in the last 4 weeks, although I've also seen some large banks still hiring contractors.
While I also agree this is true there are weekly threads there that imply people over 35 (or 40) cannot get a job in software. All Gen-Xers are over 35, so only one or the other reflects reality.
In the pure sense I agree. I'd much rather be able to get apps from anywhere or anyone. Trying to give friends iOS games I'm working on is a major pain. At least with Android I can upload an APK somewhere.

The original purpose behind giving anyone a copy was advertising and distribution, which is done differently nowadays. Rarely does anyone I know give someone a thumbdrive or equivalent of a piece of software, instead a website or app store link is shared.
Yes, this was my interpretation too (should probably be made more clear). Most JS dev tools are written in JS (Webpack, Babel, VSCode) so there's a large use-case for a fast JS-native parser. It could also, theoretically, be run in-browser for a macro system or something.
If the prices go up, consumers will do it less. Especially after seeing how much cheaper it was not to go to restaurants for months.
Our company is in a counter cyclical industry, one of the ones referenced in the article. We were looking to raise money this quarter, regardless of this pandemic, because we had maybe a year and a half of safe runway left.

The interesting thing is that this downturn has simultaneously raised our revenue (since we’re counter cyclical), but dramatically decreased the likelihood of us getting another round with reasonable terms this quarter/year, because cash is no longer cheap for our would-be investors.

As such, even though our quarterly financials are going to be abnormally high, they decided to cut some perks and let go of 5% of employees (among other things) to reduce our burn rate.

It’s an interesting outcome: it doesn’t matter how counter cyclical your business is, if you have a runway and it’s less than two years, you’re impacted.

In the aftermath of all this, I wonder if more entrepreneurs of wannabe hyper growth companies will seek out positive cash flow more sincerely than they do today, after going through this trauma.
It looks like the guy who tweeted that is, by his own profile picture, clearly a man.

The USA PATRIOT acts 4-year term was far too long, and the US senate voted to extend it after that lapsed.

What you're taking issue with is your representation, not abuse by the executive branch or some shadow gov't.

All I've said here is elect and advocate for programmes like this Draganfly to have very small windows, and require extension by elected officials. I don't think this is something you or grandparent comment are opposed to, is it?

NixOS and GuixSD being the next generation of distributions and people are calling it "neat project with some unique features, but it is more fun as an intellectual curiosity than as something practical" while arguing if a distribution should use Systemd or not...
This doesn't actually prove anything, right?

Isn't this a textbook case of how a confounding variable could explain the effect?[1]

It's also a bit disingenuous to claim "before the tweet, Tesla stock prices are well-predicted by the S&P 500" -- anyone can take a quick glance at 1 or 5 year charts of SP500 vs TSLA and disabuse themselves of that notion quite quickly.

The IT industry benefits from fashionable UIs (dark or bright, angular or rounded, 2D or 3D, etc.) and architectures (server centric, client centric, etc.) quite similarly to the fashion industry benefiting from rising and falling hemlines and wide vs skinny ties.

I didn't care about football, I cared about computers. My entire school district didn't have a hint of CS more advanced than learning how to use Microsoft Office. Additionally, there are ways to play football outside of a school team, I played soccer for many years outside of school and enjoyed myself well enough.
I don't think this is true. In my experience, those who are seem to have a constraint they don't mention, like knowing an older language that isn't in vogue (I spent a lot of time in the ColdFusion ecosystem, and there were many who really didn't know another language), and who haven't expanded their skillset as the industry has changed (front-end frameworks, Docker, cloud, git workflows, etc)

(I'm not on the market now, but I'm 43, my coworker is 41 or 42 I think, and virtually every programmer friend/cohort I know of that's 40+ is still gainfully employed)
Are your products open source so volunteers can contribute?
1) Finding suitable first bugs in open source projects is actually a lot of work. I've joined several OS communities over the years and spent a long time doing this. Often times they can have a complex or unique process to get a merge committed (Openstack & K8s) and there's also a lot of competition to find said bugs - especially on projects people are paid to work on.

2) Given the above, people have day jobs, families and lives - and a limited amount of time for the unpaid games you invent for them.

3) As someone else mentioned, many company make OS work against policy - even on your own time. Might not get caught, also might not be worth it.
Agreed, great analogy.

That's one reason I avoid Indonesia. Everyone there is just toxic in terms of tourists.

Japan and Philippines are much more rewarding and much less "digital nomads." It used to be fun, but if you're part of any of the online groups on facebook it's a toxic sub culture.
Any recommendation for similar resources for computer science?
Good salespeople help customers by thoroughly understanding their needs, matching what the company sells to the customer, and explaining why the thing being sold is the best in terms the customer cares about.

Don't hate salespeople. Hate the fact that certain companies insist on employing armies of minimally-trained, low-skill, low-dollar lackeys running around who offer little benefit to anyone, especially high-information buyers, which you seem to be (which, keep in mind, not everyone will be).

FWIW I love good salespeople but also hate "being sold" in the way OP describes.

It's an imperfect measurement but I'm not sure there's a better alternative. Some people like to include stock appreciation when discussing compensation, which seems even more misleading since that isn't what was written on the offer.

Recipients have to play investor to price in the risk and volatility of the stock (ie. if Lyft and Google both gave the same offer, Google's is far less risky but with potentially lower returns).
