Giving a CEO options isn’t really insider trading. CEOs constantly receive stock and stock price based bonuses.

I'm also coming from Django. I've found Keystone to fit my brain a lot better than most alternatives. Tried strapi and it looks good for basic stuff but the documentation is just absolutely terrible, and once you get out of the really basic stuff you're on your own digging into their source code to understand how to do anything. Nonetheless, ok it looks promising and maybe in a few years it could be something more interesting (to me at least).
You have both the right and possibility to install whatever software you want on an iPhone and Apple can’t stop you. Many tinkeres play around with this. But that’s not what your actually talking about, you feel that Apple should be forced to make that easy and to support it to the point where it’s as easy as staying in their managed ecosystem, which is something entirely different.

It’s like people complaining that you can’t change the battery in a iPhone and saying that it infringes on their rights, but of cause you can actually replace it, it’s just difficult, not impossible. But Apple will void warranty on diy repairs, but is that really such a bad thing? Why should they psi if I screw up my repair of the product?
Sure, they use Chrome or Chromium based browsers instead, the dominant browser/browser engine unfortunately.
New York Times Front Page with Abstract Art, August 14, 2020
Yeah, some variation of page rank is still the number one signal. That's why subdomain/subdirectory leasing at media companies is such a hot deal right now: you take completely unrelated content (e.g. coupons with affiliate links), throw them on a subdomain of a news site (e.g. CNN) and then just watch your content rank that would have never ranked on a "normal" domain.

That "buying links" is the only deadly sin next to cloaking is more strong evidence for Google primarily relying on it. You don't get penalized for abusing Microdata, stuffing Emjois into your Title + Description or writing barely readable keyword-stuffed SEO texts, but get links from a well-known link-selling-site and watch your -100 penalty wreck your traffic.
The World Bank's Groundswell Report [0] from 2018 may be a useful resource for you:
"Internal climate migrants are rapidly becoming the human face of climate change. According to the new World Bank report "Groundswell - Preparing for Internal Climate Migration", without urgent global and national climate action, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America could see more than 140 million people move within their countries’ borders by 2050."

[0] https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/infographic/2018/03/19/gro...
Given that one of the 10 biggest countries in the world has virtually no elevation and is already having drinking water problems (Bangladesh), a migrant crisis is certain.

Where are these places? How does the (pre-pandemic) quality of life compare to that of a metropolitan area?

At one point I joked that I could buy an entire block of houses in Detroit. It doesn't matter if there is nothing for me to do there, no schools for my family, or preferred entertainment options/venues.

A bit of perspective. After four surprisingly good months, you’re having a bit more trouble is probably down to normal variation because that’s about the only direction you could go from a local optimum. It takes a little time to refill an empty tank. Nothing unusual or unnatural or unexpected about it. And these are crazy stressful days despite starting to feel normal. It’s ok to give yourself credit for what you did and be kind enough to yourself to let off the gas some. Good luck.
They certainly CAN monitor all of this.. but a lot of them don’t. I don’t think it really matters if the mouse or something is yours, it’s really about the computer itself. The policies and practices vary between companies. Are you suggesting there might be an issue because they are ‘using your resources’ to do this?

Would be interesting to see the liability a company opens themselves up to by monitoring an unaware employee with a webcam while they work from home though!
Oh, and by the way, the reason I'm not using keystone either is because it doesn't support sqlite (for real).
> CEOs and anyone who has close contact with them have to register what they are about to do a few days before they make any trades of shares in the company.

That is already the case, top executives trading is publically reported. This is why insider trading often catches relatives of the person in the know. Like the CEO would ask his cousin to make the trades for him.
That's because the optimizer symbolically executes the program according to the C memory model, not x86 memory model

It's not necessarily cheaper. Only budget hi-ten steel models are cheap. You'd want a quality steel frame if you have skinny wheels and value ride quality or if you're a tourer and want a bike that has many attachment points as is weldable in any shop or if you're a BMX-er and throw your bike around all day long or if you're a bike messenger or a fixie type and want a long lasting serviceable bike or if you simply like the looks of skinny tubes.
In the UK, we had a maintenance book where you could report things that were broken (even things as trivial as a light bulb - you were told _not_ to replace them on your own), porters who you could give you a spare key if you lost yours and were responsible for external security, catered meals three times a day that were cheap enough that cooking for yourself was fairly pointless from a financial standpoint unless it was something very basic, subsidised rents (which also covered utilities), and an onsite bar. It wasn't exactly a step into the real world - you had a _lot_ done for you.

Personally, I wouldn't change it for the world. Student loans covered the expenses (which as you only pay as a small percentage of your wage above a certain amount and are written off after 30 years if you haven't paid them aren't worth worry about too much), and it had both academic and social benefits. Supervisions often started after 18:00 and occasionally ran on til 23:00, and you could have lectures at 9:00 the next morning, which would be a pain with a commute, and you had easier access to resources (libraries, computing facilities).

I threw myself into the social side, having been fairly reclusive during secondary school - I felt much more comfortable doing so living on site, and I got involved in extra curricular activities I wouldn't have done if I had a commute. I had close friends studying law, natural sciences, economics, engineering, medicine, English, anthropology, and music (I studied computer science), and developed a better understanding of and appreciation for these subjects as a result (I remember discussing Roman law somehow becoming a bizarrely frequent subject in first year). I'm still in almost daily contact with the friendship group I formed there, even ten years on. I did a Master's afterwards, and lived at home, and I never felt as connected to either my studies or my peer group.

Still, I certainly wouldn't call anyone who doesn't do that a coward, and think you could get a similar or better experience living off campus at home. It just turned out to be the right step for me[1] - it pushed me enough out of my comfort zone to grow without leaving me feeling lost - and gave me a much better university experience as a result.

[1] And it was effectively required by my university - you have to live within three miles of the city centre, required permission to live outside of college, and you weren't allowed to keep a car within ten miles of the city centre without permission (https://www.proctors.cam.ac.uk/motor-control)
> Yes, the planet is becoming less hospitable

No scientific arguments exist that would support this claim. Some land area might be lost, but other areas will become accessible through warming (think Siberia, Greenland, Canada).

On the contrary, we should expect the planet to become more hospitable, with higher crop yields, more plants and better average climate for human life on land mass.

The human population increase is the real problem.
> whether they still believe he hasn't absorbed Taleb's critique.

No. Taleb's an idiot, he just does psychobabble. Silver knows that.

I can't find the data but I think 3 months ago Trump would have won going off polls. So clearly in 3 months he could win again.

We are in a period of huge variability.

For instance Biden gets the coronavirus is a 10% chance he'll die. 10% chance he can't run in the election. Biden can't keep away from people, it'll could drain the polling numbers, he'll have to mix. CNN hinted the VP is very important this election.

Silver also knows he stuffed up last time, from everyone commenting. 30% is be a good face saving estimate at this point in time, he easily can up or lower it as the election comes closer.

Nothing to do with Taleb.

[edit]
> "The explanation is given that the election is in the future, and therefore there is future uncertainty.

This is well known and always accounted for, along with known polling and mail-in biases etc. What's less well know is how to do this accurately, knowing Taleb I'd guess he's pretends to know this with a vague statement. I'm not sure what he actually said?

Levels.fyi is good, but it's still polluted with TC's from multiple regions in the US (California + NYC have higher base and higher TC by 15% due to taxes). In addition, promos always happen at the low-band and aren't negotiated. There's very likely some intersection between high-band L4 and low-band L5, and I'd be there when/if I promo. The only way to get out of the band is to get a high raise during evaluation season, but this maxes out at 10% or so for "top tier" performance evaluated only once a year.

*The net effect is "pay for performance" isn't really a thing.

The only way for me to do a significant compensation bump is to do what's called a "dive and save", but this is very rarely done for L5's and is significantly more common for L6's. I got an offer for about $200k a year ago at a hedge fund, but that wasn't eligible for dive and save because of my level and I'm (clearly) too mentally defective to pass a Facebook or Google loop.

You are thinking just software , Hardware tech is very different for wireless. The benefits from beam forming, MIMO or any of the advancements in 3G/4G/5G only benefit wireless. There has been similar technical improvements in wired which only benefit that medium, they keep cramming more signal on the same size cable every generation.

Even in software at L3-7 the encoding tech is probably same of course, however protocols L0-2 is very medium dependent. The loss , noise, signal strength patterns all change depending on the medium so does

Even at L4 and above UDP based stacks benefit in wireless compared TCP based transport, if your application can handle it of course. The next gen HTTP is getting designed around UDP in some part to reflect the changing way people access the internet , a lot more traffic is mobile and wireless today so designing around wireless makes sense.

Personally even as app developer who works only with L7(HTTP) and L6 (SDP) I have specifically developed non trivial optimizations, workflows and APIs for mobile clients which were not needed or used by web clients due to different connection parameters of wired/ WiFi as opposed to wireless 2G/3G .

So yes there is lot of difference and most people working at any layer cannot ignore the medium.
> Insider trading is one of those crimes where it is a bit ambiguous as to what the crime is (at least to me)

Before someone is quick to say "how can you not know?!," there are some pretty ambiguous cases around trading on material, non-public information.

- Counting cars in parking lots as a proxy for sales.

- Your employer sees a drop in sales and is able to directly attribute it to a competitor. Can you buy shares in the competitor?

- You're at a bar in NYC and a drunk i-banker is trying to impress a girl and runs his mouth and talks about a pending acquisition.
I don't think hes the type of person to offer the next religion that people should crowd into… maybe less focus on working for companies that filter on "formal college education" above all else, even if they are "his" companies (its debatable the level of control an owner has over the day to day operation of companies esp if you own a lot of companies [principle-agent issues]).

"Atomic" is probably the wrong term at this level. For a CPU, all loads and stores are atomic (assuming aligned and <= word size).

On an out-of-order CPU, loads and stores go into a buffer which may process its entries in a different order. Fences like LDA and STL prevent certain reorderings.
