> Facebook is, in general, an unethical company. And this has been known for a long time. If you didn't leave yet you won't leave over this either.

You might be right. But you might be wrong. And the way you're framing it, it's either a) someone agrees with you, and has already left FB (meaning you were right), or b) someone has stayed at FB, therefore ethics is unimportant to them.

Your dichotomy leaves no space for the idea that you might be wrong, or that the people who work at FB might not agree with you that it is unethical.
That still doesn't explain the large gap between debt and market cap mentioned in the article. If the debt was all tied up in car assets those would balance out or even lead to a positive market cap difference assuming they can generate profits from renting the cars.

I'm guessing they probably get very good deals on the debt to begin with, (even a consumer can often get 0% on a single car) but bankruptcy will definitely restructure that debt at a minimum.
Absolutely. Many people provide negative productivity.

It does work in some cases. I need some bleach to help clean out the condensation line in my AC unit. I looked and Amazon's lowest price that I could get in a short amount of time was around $30/gallon. I pretty quickly decided that hot water was working well enough for the moment.

It also doesn't really prevent gouging, it just moves it to a private market. I'm fairly confident I could get toilet paper at any time on eBay if I needed it and was willing to pay the prices.

The same people who cannot afford the gouged prices likely do not have a schedule flexible enough to constantly check whether the grocery store has toilet paper in stock. Meanwhile, those of us with cushy tech jobs can check out for 15 minutes to go check if there's toilet paper in the store.

I think the unfortunate reality is that nothing short of rationing adequately addresses the problem. Rationing has it's own set of issues.
The article literally says not to do this.
Technically qualified immunity does not shield officers from prosecution it only stops them from being sued.

So a pretty reasonable question you'd ask in the rest of the world is: Why aren't these cops prosecuted for excessive violence? The use of civil rights lawsuits in the US was a workaround for an already broken legal system that doesn't punish wrong doing by certain people.
Not sure if this answers your question, but if it really bothers you, you could change the CSS rules that your browser applies to a specific site. If you are using firefox, the file to edit is `chrome/userContent.css`.

I know it doesn't help others, but in my experience people using such software actually like this retro look (and I agree it does have some appeal to it - function before form).

Often libraries put limits on the number of times you can do this, but also since IA is currently not restricting the number of copies of a book it loans out that must make a difference no?

I think this is an underappreciated aspect of rapid growth. Hiring competent people retards growth. If you grow organically, you can afford to spend the time hiring and keeping competent people. If you need to field 200-people office next month, you'll have to drop the bar.

I mean, I (and most people on this thread...) agree with you, I believe it is almost always "nicer" to be consistent and have minimal ISRs. But her/his point (as I interpret it, at least) was that in some situations a somewhat larger ISR may make sense.
I've been playing around with your library for the last hour and so far it's excellent, pretty what I had hoped for after working with React for a while. The performance of individual renders is one area of improvement but I think the main contribution is the clarity the update model provides.

React works well until you try to avoid re-rendering and then it really falls appart. For example, updating a context re-renders the whole component chain from producer to consumer, and trying to block useless re-renders with shouldComponentUpdate easily leads to mistakes where children don't update when they should. Since React rendering use lazy evaluation of JSX expressions, tracking who exactly updates and when is much harder than what it might seem initially (akin to tracking mutations in a language with lazy evaluation). As this library actually tracks dependencies and only re-renders what you want, all of this bloat is avoided. One aspect that impresses me in particular is that JSX expressions actually return real DOM nodes, making it easy to keep references to them for imperative operations (not a big deal but so much nicer than React refs).

I'm wondering why you opted for the setState API rather than a nicer imperative API like Mobx. From what I can gather, state changes are tracked by diffing? Why not just return a proxy?

> get a smaller office.

Unfortunately not compatible with American excess and someone giving you a nice chunk of cash to "invest". If you don't buy a new fancy office and fill it with 30% people who do work and 70% of people who make it harder to get work done, you're "not doing startups right". Yeah, I'm bitter.
You are free to give away whatever you want so long as it's yours to give away. For example, the ACM has opened up their pubs during this health emergency which is a nice move on their part. Do I think it would have been preferable for the publishers and IA to reach some sort of agreement? Of course. But, much as I'm a fan of the IA, they shouldn't IMO be doing this unilaterally.

So I run Linux mint on my personal laptop, but boot a mainline kernel built from source (so more stable userspace, but cutting edge kernel, as I do a fair amount of kernel development). I think that sounds like they setup your asking about?

Building and installing your own kernel isn't too bad. If you want to give it a shot:

1. download mainline, ie torvalds/linux
2. make -j localmodconfig olddefconfig
3. make -j
4. make -j modules_install install

and reboot.

I really like the simple yet useful flowchart to estimate the origins of a given spaceship (figure 4.10 in the PDF).
Essentially: it's rare, we shouldn't worry about it?

I don't think that's a valid argument. A driver may not have a lot of time to ponder the consequences of his actions (but you can create a hypothetical that would give him a few seconds, of course, but hypothetical situations are an issue in this thread), but that doesn't mean the AV that's not as limited in recognition and calculations shouldn't calculate probable outcomes and make a decision, even if it's rare. And once you agree that it should if it can, there's no sense in saying "but we shouldn't talk about what it should optimize for".

And of course, we can generally expect that if it is possible, that it will be done and Mercedes will ask: who's paying us, the person in the car or the person outside the car, so they will gravitate towards saving their customer. At that point you have made the decision, but you've avoided having a debate over ethics.
"It's just facts" is the defense most beloved of trolls, but it's a fallacy. I recently wrote about this in a comment about something else (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23284949). Here's the relevant bit:

Ditto for the oldie-but-goodie, "It's a fact. What problem can you possibly have with facts?" - as if a fact were a fish that catches itself and serves itself for dinner. There are infinitely many facts and they don't select themselves, as I often tell HN users who make this argument: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu.... Sure it's a fact—and language has multiple levels of meaning. It's common to attack on one level and then switch to another level to defend. It's never just a fact. What the fact is being used for, and what other facts are left out, are just as relevant.
We used to have media that tried to be objective. They produced an Overton Window that was pretty centrist.

Those days are gone. Now we have Fox with a clear bias or slant, CNN with a clear bias to the other side, and NBC somewhat more centrist but still not objective. (If you want relatively unbiased US news, try Reuters.)

That's bad enough. But people don't just get "news" that way; they get it from Facebook and Twitter. The "news media" is now the people that you subscribe to, whether or not they know what they're talking about. If they feel like the system is failing, the narrative you see will be that the system is failing, whether or not it actually is.

Then you have people trying to manipulate that feed. Start with the two political parties. They try to get the feed to say "You have to elect us!" One way to do that is to manipulate the feed so that it indicates that the system is failing because of the other party. There are also far-right and far-left activists, who want to manipulate the feed so that people think that the system is failing due to both parties, so that people will turn to the extremists as the only hope.

And then you have foreign disinformation campaigns, deliberately trying to destabilize the US. "Your country is failing" is a great narrative for them to foster in order to destroy peoples' faith in the viability of institutions.

Look, the system isn't in great shape. The imperial presidency was a thing clear back with Nixon. It got beat back with Watergate, but it's been growing again. Competence in government has also been... let's be charitable and say "not always as evident as we would prefer". But it seems to me that there is a media narrative (or mostly "meta-media", if you want to use that term for Facebook and Twitter) that is far stronger than the circumstances warrant.
Thanks for clarifying, I wasn't aware this is a recent change.
Leadership isn't the source for all bills that are passed, though. Maybe as a 3rd party member, the bill would garner bipartisan support?

I do agree with you that the leadership should be offering some sort of legislative solutions. All we have seen so far is deflection.

The interests of investors are actually not aligned with the company. They are just misaligned in a different way from management.

To give a classic and well-known example, consider the type of investor known as "venture capital". Their interests are to make sure that the founders don't run off with their money, and to have the company "swing for the fences" to have a shot at outsized returns. If all of their companies do this, the ones that succeed pay for the majority that failed.

But it is typically in the company's interests to be more conservative. To take guaranteed growth over a lottery ticket for stellar growth.

Now consider this case. Ichan has an incentive to fix management fraud (this aligns with the company), to increase volatility to increase the odds of a good payout (loading the company with debt does this), and to have the company do business with his other businesses.

About 1.5 of these incentives align with the company's interests. (The first and half of the third.) The others do not. And the second in particular is close to the misalignment that venture capital has with startups.

If this were true you could make a killing betting against activist investors. I doubt you would succeed.
Police are people too and when you escalate to violence and destruction you might get answered with force. Making this an us vs them and not having any proper form of discourse between the parties is causing the explosive reactions on both sides.
Those are literally equivalent though, anything you can install using yarn you can install using npm. They connect to the same registry and use the same package.json format.
Also, pip is relatively recent. Before that, it was a mix of setuptools, easy_install and various manual procedures.

Nice! I have some suggestions.

- Allow search games by name, description and tags.

- Filter by game genre would be nice.

- Add a section to show paid games that are being sold by 0 money. Like the free games of the week from Epic Games. When the game is no more free, it can be removed from the site.

- Allow users to suggest games (this can even help you).

I like this idea of a transparent democracy. It seems that if we are to be surveilled and held accountable by inscrutable decisions. Then we should have the right to surveil back. Heck, maybe to be elected one has to wear a body cam in all non-top secret non-personal decision making sessions of legislating. Might end lobbying pretty quick.
Agreed.

The two articles I read pointed these out:

1) When Hertz bought Dollar Thrifty their due diligence failed to realize that most of their cars were well past their prime which required another sizable investment to replace all of Dollar Thrifty cars.

2) Frissora tried to hold onto their cars longer past the depreciation period, trying to keep them until 50K miles, way past the industry norm of 30K miles. He also then took these older cars and sent them to their other budget rental companies Dollar Thrifty and Firefly

3) When Tague entered after Frissora left, he started updating a majority of the fleet with sedans, right in the middle of height of the popularity of the SUV. His other blunder was trying to increase prices, thinking the rest of the industry would follow suit. Instead, they kept their pricing lower and started taking big chunks of the Hertz market.

All of three of these gross miscalculations caused their debt to increase too fast and ultimately was their undoing.

Almost none of these private companies are worth $35bn. I saw this in raise after raise...same VC funds that invested in previous rounds and needed to mark their book higher so they could get juicy bonuses. It is amazing anyone buys this nonsense.

The reason you need public markets is because if you are actually worth $35bn, you can't get liquidity anywhere else...$35bn is an oddly specific number but it is far larger than most people in tech understand (just for scale, Koch Industries is probably the most valuable private company in the US...it is valued at what ~$75bn, Mars is another one...that is is around ~$50bn...if you have a tech company at $35bn, some VC somewhere has just lost a fuck ton of money).

The reason a private company that is "worth $35bn" doesn't come to market is obvious...it isn't worth $35bn.

Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, Oracle...need I go on?
