I'm trying to understand what the company stock performance has to do with the company performance. Sure, if the company is mismanaged and fails to operate the stock might become worthless and if the company is very successful and has piles of cash can buy stocks back at higher prices but besides that I am not under the impression that people are putting their money in stocks for the dividends.

Yes, if everybody thinks that good performance should increase the stock prices then the performance matters but this is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Celebrity CEO smoking weed and being cool should be able to beat any technical indicator IMHO. A large number of people might simply act irrationally just to be a part of a movement.

Maybe the best thing Boeing can do for its the stock price is to install a really cool CEO who is good with memes, close down the factories and concentrate on the brand. Is there anything to compel them to produce planes?

I'm fortunate that I live with my two adult sons whom I raised and homeschooled. When I'm seriously suicidal and not just whining about how my life sucks and I hate it so much, I can let them know that I'm not right today and can't be left alone and they will arrange to babysit me. The fact that they do that helps touch one of the roots of my problem -- that I feel like no one cares -- and helps kill it off and I've gotten less suicidal over the years in part because of the evidence that they actually do care.

President Lincoln was prone to bouts of darkness and suicidal fits and his friends would babysit him at such times. So I'm not the only one who has found that to be an effective policy.

Suicide usually occurs when you are alone. Simply not being alone can be a deterrent.

It's been a while since I've had to tell my sons "I'm just not right today and can't be left alone." One root cause of my suicidal tendencies is an incurable medical condition. I used to be in agony all the time and I'm not anymore. My improved physical health means I'm much less prone to being seriously intent on wanting out of this life right now, thanks, though I still have other problems that make me somewhat often wonder "What is the fucking point??!!"

Anyway, a side effect of my medical condition is that sometimes I'm just not rational when I'm extremely sick and my sons have learned to feed me, hydrate me, make sure I'm adequately warm and their policy is "Don't engage Teh Crazeh" at such times because it doesn't help to engage me in discussion when I'm not rational. All it does is amplify my focus on negative feelings and there's nothing therapeutic about talking with me at such times.

Very often, I'm irrational because I'm at the end of my physical rope. Over the years, we've learned that when I'm a serious whack job, tending to my physical health -- feed me, hydrate me, make sure I'm warm -- often results in me falling asleep. When I wake up, I'm fine, mentally.

My experiences have convinced me that a lot of mental health issues have a strong component of physical health issues and have given me renewed appreciation for the biblical thing of feeding people as an act of love, caring and promoting the peace. Life is chemistry and food has powerful chemical impacts that tend to go somewhat unrecognized by most people, most of the time.

My sons basically nursed me back to health after doctors wrote me off for dead. Helping me actually solve my "unsolvable" problems has proven to be the best antidote to my suicidal tendencies.

I think people who are suicidal typically have intractable personal problems and one of the best antidotes to suicidal tendencies is to help people solve their intractable problems, which is part of why I blog and try to create informational resources for people with serious personal problems. I think being suicidal is often shorthand for "My life just doesn't work and can't be made to work and it's torture." So I try to help people make their lives work.

We don't need educational languages; people should use real production languages from day one.

Scheme implementations are that now, and maybe even standard Scheme is that now, but historically it has not been.

1998 was almost a quarter century after Scheme started. That year, R5RS came out, yet it defined no way to decompose a program into separately compiled files, and didn't specify what is an error (beyond saying that it's something that can happen that an implementation should diagnose) or how to recover from one. Even BASIC for 8 bit microcomputers had ON ERR GOTO.

(Good thing R5RS specified hygienic macros, because unwanted capture is a the real threat to your all-in-one-file program with no error handling.)

You can only avoid dark corners as a writer. As a reader, you may have to peer into dark corners.

Most of the issues given on the linked-to page are not simple issues of readability; they are real pitfalls. A lot of the examples are actually readable. You will not easily avoid every single one of those pitfalls if you're coding in Python, even if you lint the code.
Saying there's "no business value" in tools coming out of this space/building on IPFS is nonsense. Sure, the vast majority of people won't care about using a tool because it's decentralized in and of itself, but they _will_ choose tools that give them features they care about - like working better offline, having faster downloads/uploads, being more reliable and trustworthy, preserving their agency and control, etc. These implications from building a distributed system (ex able to collaborate when disconnected from central servers) are strong business reasons for folks to use one service over another, but that isn't clear from saying "it's decentralized". Look at Netflix using IPFS for faster container image distribution (business value: more productive developers - https://blog.ipfs.io/2020-02-14-improved-bitswap-for-contain...), Audius & Matters.news using IPFS to give content creators more ownership over their own data, Berty & OpenBazaar using IPFS for private messaging/marketplaces -- clearly there is business value in removing middle-men/central points of failure & control in these applications.

You absolutely can incentivize others to pin content. Check out Infura (infura.io), Pinata (pinata.cloud), Temporal (temporal.cloud), and Eternum (eternum.io) - these are all services you can pay to host your IPFS data with reasonable uptime. They have an incentive to keep your content around because you pay them to. Filecoin is a distributed solution to that (and making active progress - they have a testnet out with over 5PB of proven storage: https://filecoin.io/blog/roadmap-update-april-2020/), but you don't have to wait for that to land.

In the mid-90's, I worked at an early ISP that had most of its network and dialup equipment in a small retail / office plaza. It was in the basement of a unit that they had rented to someone else.

There were about 100 individual phone lines coming off the wall, each going to its own modem. Basically, a river of phone cables. Each modem had its own power supply and serial cable. "Power distribution" consisted of power strips chained 2 or 3 layers deep.

There was no cooling to speak of. I remember going down there in July or August and it felt like the place was going to melt down. Some modems, quite literally, had melted: the plastic was warped and discolored.

If you consider voluntary association and compensation for labor exploitative, then I'm not sure what to say to you.

By your standard, anyone who participates in the economy is making money off the backs of others. My mother is now happily retired on the savings she accumulated working as a nurse. She couldn't have done that without all the people working at drug manufacturers, EMR companies, or health insurance providers. Did she make money off the backs of the hospital lab techs? Did she exploit the ER security guards? After all without those people, she wouldn't have made it.
It's a respectable offer for a company outside the tech space, especially considering that many other companies simply laid off workers without providing severance or post-termination health care. It's not a great offer, but considering their change in fortunes over the past 1.5 years, its better than most people would have expected them to offer.

Generally, in the US buyouts are always better than layoff severance.

Bottom line, jails are "in kernel" primitives. Containers are not (or at least they werent when I last checked).
As Matt Easton says: "Context!"

I think "5 Whys" might be a useful exercise here.

Why was building X as a microservice faster? [reason]? Well, why was that?

My general rules for this are to always start in a monolith and break things out as they start to fail or break other parts of the codebase, and don't go all in just because you now have one microservice that works well by itself

I like this. A key tactic is to always do things, such that one can change one's mind!
Firefox containers are amazing! Being able to have a work set of tabs that open all the google services correctly, and a set of personal tabs that open google services correctly is the best thing ever. Not to mention containing all the sites that try to track you into their own little playground.
> Who cares about the quarter after that, where production will have to be impacted by reduced workforce.

You were being sarcastic but you're kind of right. In the same way that this quarter isn't the be all-end all, neither is next quarter. Over, say, a 10 year time horizon, the next couple quarters will just be a blip.

Plus, Boeing doesn't exist in a vacuum. The US Govt is going to let anything happen to them due to national security reasons and they've shown that they aren't willing to wipe out shareholders as part of a bailout.

Frankly I'd be much more worried about the culture that allowed the 787MAX to happen than I would be about short-term COVID-19 reductions.
Funding the military is, irrationally, politically untouchable in America. Both parties have let the military-industrial complex deeply embed itself into the political process and need to toe the line when it comes to the very powerful defense lobbying groups. That said society at large generally approves to good pay and equipment for troops while being less enthusiastic for military research and stock purchases - this is a bit contradictory since folks want troops in a war to have good stocks but don't approve of spending money on maintaining equipment during peacetime.

The sort of TL;DR here is that America being the world police isn't something the public approves of and I think it'd be more efficient to pursue addressing this point then hanging your hopes on billionaires. The utter fascination and praise of billionaires is an extremely toxic[1] spin off from general American Exceptionalism which has done quite a lot of damage to... well... Americans actually being exceptional.

1. In my opinion - how you view the effect of this on society is entirely an opinion thing.

> When you are young spend at least 6 months to one year living as poor as you can, owning as little as you possibly can, eating beans and rice in a tiny room or tent, to experience what your “worst” lifestyle might be. That way any time you have to risk something in the future you won’t be afraid of the worst case scenario.

Done it around my 24, I lived 2 years without spending any money, except for my room rent (I was paying by cheques, since you don't really need a credit-card anymore in my case). I ate from student restaurants bread leftovers, markets ends (lots of fruits/vegs), and sometimes supermarket bins with other persons

You change dramatically after that, it's like a new life, with new values, minimalism, endurance, you know much more yourself. Why I did so? I don't know, I started for a few days, a week, then I didn't stop, there was some intent to save money, but the benefit was of course different, you actually risk to lose money, by losing your job, luckily it didn't happen, but I wasn't very productive
> This. The only stuff that needs to be nationalized is some fraction of certain industries that are critical for the nation (eg infrastructure, shipping, defense, energy, etc...).

Boeing is a big defense contractor:

https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/01/30/boeing-earnings-th...:

> In addition to being the world's biggest producer of commercial airplanes, Boeing is also one of the world's biggest defense businesses -- and this is key to understanding Boeing stock. Commercial Airplanes may provide 69% of Boeing's revenue, but according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, Commercial Airplanes contributes only 54% of the company's profits. The bulk of Boeing's remaining business comes from its big Defense, Space & Security division, which comprises three parts: Military Aircraft, Network & Space Systems, and Global Services & Support.
I'd argue the other way - the camera on modern phones is a massive selling point, I know many people that choose their phone based on it. It therefore makes sense that the out of the box should include manual controls somewhere as an option.

I know Apple like to push the whole "shot on an iPhone" thing, and they want to make sure the default app is giving the "best" quality. So maybe that's the reason they don't include them?

And to take your analogy further - I have a Polaroid 195, it has full manual controls. Of course, it was aimed at pro photographers who wanted those controls, and sold at a premium.
