> These short sellers were trading on publicly available information.

We're talking about positions that were opened right before the FT article was published. The FT article included allegations by an insider, it wasn't only public information.

Granted, there was also publicly available circumstantial evidence that things were fishy at Wirecard.

Either way, these short sellers weren't convicted, that doesn't mean they shouldn't have been investigated.
I've observed that grumpiness in a business setting is often a learned behavior of individuals who are too frequently distracted from their work by colleagues.

Constantly responding to questions with a gruff demeanor eventually decreases the number of interruptions and becomes self-reinforcing.

Don’t forget `display: contents` in which the element is instructed not to generate a box at all (neither inline nor block; I guess like `display: none` without hiding the content).

But I think the spec maintainers are aware of this and CSS Display Module 3[1] allows multi-keywords so you can do stuff like:

display: block grid;

or:

display: run-in ruby;

or even:

display: inline flow-root list-item;

Your geospatial decision-making largely depends on what set of boundaries you choose for your analysis . An ideal area for analysis should have an ideal shape and size.Clustering all locations based on proximity to each other to find dense clusters is a good way to find the boundaries for areas on which you want to run your analysis
I completely relate. Other things I learnt "formally":

- regexps (this is a big one, being able to write a complex regexp without thinking about it is amazing)

- Git

- basic JS when it was mainly used to add snow on your page

Taking the time to properly learn things is extremely valuable.

The philosophy of this is interesting. As we start to understand more about genetics and psychology, we'll probably be able to more closely pinpoint why people do what they do. But that doesn't mean people shouldn't be held accountable. (Affluenza)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affluenza] may be a real "condition"? that impacts people, but even if we eventually discover the genetic and neurological reasons behind it, it still shouldn't excuse behavior.

I've had similar experiences where I "lose control" because I'm angry, or excited, or "emotional", but I think it's my responsibility to work to make that better. I don't know what this means in terms of consequences, but I know it shouldn't mean letting cops off the hook for brutality.
Can you give some examples of the mindset of construction and manufacturing businesses? It would be interesting to me, and I think to other people here too.

Which doesn't cover the cost of video hosting, transcoding and streaming. Or the cost of other software development of YouTube.

If you'd ever work on anything close to video streaming industry you'd find out that the costs of delivering video to the world is massive. And paying for those services is how you make them sustainable (and add competition).

The problem is huge, but not quite as grim as this. I think that you may be confusing primary (thermal) energy in coal with electricity supplied by coal. In 2018, coal was used to generate about 10,000 TWh of electricity:

https://www.iea.org/reports/world-energy-outlook-2019/electr...

Renewable generators only need to displace the electrical output of combustion based power plants, not the greater thermal energy contained in source fuels. A highly electrified, renewables-dominated world would consume less primary energy at the same level of energy service consumption. There's a lot less energy going toward production of useless waste heat when renewable electricity displaces fossil combustion electricity.

The average American coal plant turns only 37.4% of coal's thermal energy into electrical energy:

https://processbarron.com/u-s-coal-power-plant-efficiency-st...

In 2019 the United States lost 2/3 of all primary energy as waste heat:

Copyright applies to the literary work as a whole, and protects derivative works based on it[1].

In this case it's true the derivative work (the recipe) wouldn't be copyrightable, but that doesn't absolve it from being considered a copyright violation of the original work.

If you can show you independently created that recipe, then you're protected from the above assertion that it was a derivative of that copyrighted work. But if you're compiling a database of normalized recipes via scraping recipe content online, it'd be pretty easy for a copyright holder to establish this argument doesn't hold water.

Rather than collate yoga videos with differing levels of accuracy relative to search (the search I just did was pretty inaccurate), why not have some gifs of poses and generate the practice by linking these poses together to mix something based on the user’s chosen level of difficulty, style, and goals?

For my example, I chose “Advanced” and two of the three videos were labelled “Beginner”. The third I did a quick view of and it also looked like a beginner practice. This is an issue generally with yoga videos online - they are predominantly for beginners with somewhat limited Intermediate videos and very rarely Advanced videos. But you could solve this with gifs of different poses linked together on the fly, and generate the exact desired length of practice!

Web components to me represent the architecture I’d like to have. I think a good arch could be:

1. Build a rails/django type site, make everything work vanilla http+html etc.

2. Create standalone web components for the places you need some more interactivity, like type-ahead search box, “click to add” type thing, or a datatable

So most of your performance stuff could be handled/improved on the server, focus on aggressive caching etc. and most of the complexity would be on the server with small stand-alone parts on the client (ideally without a lot of interconnection, i.e. without a big client side state manager). This would not allow full-spa but I am not convinced SPA is the answer in many/most of the cases it’s used.
There's no git usage, they're just storing a snapshot of each repo's current HEAD in a TAR file (and then compressed and QR-encoded).

> The snapshot will consist of the HEAD of the default branch of each repository, minus any binaries larger than 100KB in size—depending on available space, repos with more stars may retain binaries. Each repository will be packaged as a single TAR file.

> Unless you're considering any advertisement manipulation.

Any advertisement is manipulation. Think about it: the purpose of an ad is to influence your decisions primarily for the benefit the self-interest of the party that paid for the ad (otherwise they wouldn't have paid for it). Any benefit you derive from your decision is secondary, and doesn't typically factor into the decision to take out the ad. That's pretty clearly manipulation.

However, there are definitely differences in how manipulative an ad can be. An ad for a plumber in the yellow pages is not very manipulative, but a targeted political ad meant to make you angry that's been interjected into your Facebook feed is very manipulative.

> Shareholders have ultimate control of companies, and their incentives are aligned all wrong (to the short term).

This is actually not true of individual shareholders; most individual shareholders are investing for the long term, because most individual shareholders are investing for a long-term goal, like retirement.

The problem is that most shares in most companies are no longer owned by individual shareholders, but mutual funds, and from the standpoint of an individual stock, a mutual fund does have short-term incentives, since if the stock's performance goes down the fund will just sell it and buy something else. The individual investors whose assets are held by the mutual fund, and who have a longer time horizon (most mutual fund accounts are retirement accounts), don't care about which individual stocks the fund holds or how often it trades them. So the longer time horizon of the actual individual investors is masked and only the short term incentives are visible to the individual companies.

> No one had heard of brands like SodaStream, Fitbit, OtterBox, PopSockets, S’well, Bombas, SimpliSafe and Mrs. Meyers when we embraced and launched them.

I'm a little confused, it sounds like they're taking credit for SodaStream, a company that's more than 100 years old and has been in homes for decades [0]? And Fitbit was only a success because of these people?

Or am I just misunderstanding what they're trying to say here?

[0] Aside: SodaStream is surely ripe for disruption. Home fizzy water is great. Their margin on a tiny bit of CO2 gas must be enormous, surely they're laughing all the way to the bank. How have they maintained their virtual monopoly for so long?
Thank you for the detailed responses.

But please consider:

At the one extreme, someone says "31 confirmed death by Covid19 on children under 14 years." As though death is the only possible negative consequence, and since 31 is a very small number, that should put to rest any concerns.

At the other extreme end, we're worried about the teachers, the staff, and the families of the students. We're worried about children who get sick, don't die, and develop chronic conditions.

The real danger level is probably in-between those two extremes, is it not?
I hadn't heard that Walmart story before, but it fits with my experience. I'm a Brit, and Brits are nowhere near the US's level of fake positivity, but the German retail culture was still a surprise to me. It's not that Germans are rude, just not in the habit of pretending.

One of my favourite anecdotes from living over there was from a friend who'd become a regular customer of a particular takeout place. On one occasion he phoned up to place an order only to be greeted with "Oh, it's you again. Why don't you learn to cook?"

Has there been much traction in building RISC-V application processors? Something like a RISC-V Raspberry Pi style SBC would be interesting to see, but the only thing like that I am aware of was enormously expensive (the HiFive Unleashed @ $999). I think the semi-open, high-volume, competitive ARM SoC market is going to make it very hard for RISC-V to find a niche in higher performing devices.
> Do the math on the US with an IFR of .3% and an HIT of 25%. That’s what a likely scenario looks like. It means a few hundred thousand dead.

Let’s be precise. That’s a quarter of a million dead Americans. I’d consider that number to be deep in the “catastrophic failure” territory.

I also find the idea that the IFR would stay at 0.3% to be absurdly optimistic. We know that fatality rates scale with hospital load, any minor change to IFR could result in tens or hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths.

> BTW you should also consider the risk that lockdown puts the body into a state where it is more susceptible to bad COVID-19 outcomes, due to vitamin d deficiency, lack of nitric oxide, lack of exercise, reduced sleep, social isolation, unemployment, and an unprecedented environment of widespread fear&hysteria. Also consider the lives we have already lost when calculating the delta between containment versus not practicing containment.

Prove it.

> IMO containment is a foolish and infantile strategy which makes us perpetually at risk of an outbreak.

It’s worked elsewhere.

I'm very excited about web components. One thing that I don't understand yet is how server side pre rendering works in these situations. Basically the elements need to be downloaded before the browser can render anything, which will delay the page in it time. I guess if everyone was using the CDN then these components would be cached for multiple applications. But they would still need to be initialized and render themselves on each page load,which could take long for complex components.

I think the Economist is pretty much the definition of neoliberal (in the old sense, before it acquired all the negative connotations). "Liberal goals, conservative means" is my over-simplified definition.

A leftist would have the government build housing for the poor. A conservative would let the poor fend for themselves or rely on charity. A neo-liberal would tweak the rules so that market builds housing for the poor.
> I’ll get this code deployed by the end of the day.

> Are you late on the commitment you made? If you are late, are you honest about why you were late? Do you accept responsibility? How will you course-correct in the future?

So there are a few things I don’t understand about accountability:

1) How does someone develop enough certainty in how fast they can develop software that they are able to actually commit to getting something finished and deployed by eob?

2) when something does go wrong but you know you’d be fired if you spent your time focusing on fixing its underlying causes, what does it _mean_ to take responsibility for it?

What does it mean to take responsibility for a failure that you know will happen again?

This thesis is developed by Cal Newport in his book “So Good They Can’t Ignore You” (https://www.calnewport.com/books/so-good/).

As an introduction example, he mentions Steve Jobs who said to graduating students (during a speech made viral), that they should follow their passion in their (professional) life. But when Newport digs a little, turns out it was actually not at all what Jobs did in his career. Yet, no one would say that he wasn’t passionate about his work.
>I work as a data scientist and sometimes find the hype so off-putting that I think that I should look for a role that's related to...

I'm Data Scientist and the hype is making me really jaded about the whole thing. I work in a customer facing role and it's just painful to see how many sensible and solvable problems with ML/Deep Learning get buried and destroyed under the pile of hype of solving unrealistic "sexy" problems with "AI." It was okay when Machine Learning was the hot thing, it's been awful since "AI" became the hot thing.
Yeah I totally understand that. I think it's important to remember that people are social creatures generally speaking. So what one may view as schmoozing, others may see as simply being social and relating to each other. People enjoy feeling good and liked.

I was never proposing datalist as a solution, far less a general one (it’s definitely not!), just pointing out its existence and potential suitability for some cases, and as a point of interest.

You can typically get a really long way with just plain text boxes, and then if they produce an invalid or probably-incorrect value, prompt them “did you mean such-and-such?” (and either force them to select a correct value or allow them to say “no, I really meant what I typed”). In fact this would sometimes be better than the types of combo boxes or autocompleting dropdowns people often use, which often have poorly-implemented failure flows (e.g. if you have to choose a valid value and it’s fetching valid values from the backend, and it makes you wait a second until the response comes back, ever time, or else it’ll forget you typed anything). And it can combine with live JS-powered validation if desired, or not.

Especially for addresses, I find the approach of allowing almost freeform text entry and then proposing ways of massaging it into shape to be excellent. Either one totally freeform field, or a series of text boxes depending on the country—and isn’t it an issue that we often put the country field last even when it can affect the understanding of earlier fields! But it’s technically more difficult to do this and requires extra functionality probably on the backend or via some external API to do well (to say nothing of countries with, shall we say, massage-resistant addresses), so software developers tend to do things the technically-trivial way rather than the more adventurous way that, if done well, will be better for users. (And perhaps it’s just as well, because if done badly it would be much worse.)

But really, most of what I’m talking about is just thinking about the no-JS behaviour, particularly when designing things from scratch. When you have an existing system that already doesn’t want to work that way you’re kinda stuck, but greenfield developments are a good time to lay down the right foundations.
The DRM will get broken if there's enough effort dedicated to it just like every latest movie or TV show somehow ends up on torrent sites despite pretty advanced DRM.
Yes, it was the recent failures in CA that I am seeing living here as evidence that the rest of the country, and large chunks of the world, are also doomed to head down the same path. CA had all the right initial steps catching it early, and had every chance to move forward, but could not execute. I imagine Canada, NY and even Europe may end up following, although I really really really hope I am wrong.
Great to see progress, even if it is incremental and not where we need to be yet. We're really seeing the death knell in coal these days, with the power sector leading the way.

I'm from SF and spent a lot of time in Berlin.

My observation was that when you go into a shop in SF, you'll get greeted to a lesser degree, but more cheerfully.

In Berlin, you were greeted almost every single time, but more perfunctorily.

In that regard, I preferred the Berlin approach, even though it required me to respond more often. But I could simple acknowledge the greeting and keep going. It was more intrusive, but less demanding.
