Anyone have a full list of who they are counting as either the 8 or 13 in that quote? According to Wikipedia, the number of people who have been charged under the espionage act is much higher than 13. For example, there are 52 pages of people convicted under the act.[1] I guess it depends on your definition of "leaking". The relevant dictionary definition of leak is "to give out (information) surreptitiously".[2] Giving information to a foreign government should seemingly be classified as leaking so I'm not sure we should necessarily link it to either journalistic endeavors or whistleblowing.

You're being intentionally misleading. The eight prosecuted are not journalists themselves but government employees who leaked sensitive documents to journalists.

It could have been worse. I know of one studio that sent a debug version to the duplication factory by accident. It killed the company.
A more cynical view would be that it is to foster resentment from potential buyers against the regulatory authorities, "see what they made us do"
I was kind of tempted to buy an Oculus headset because a friend of mine had good things to say about it. But the coupling requirement has made buying it impossible, as I don't have, never had, and will never have a Facebook account. One less gadget to worry about.
It’s true that Obama was pretty agressive about prosecuting whistleblowers, but it also true that no president in modern times before the Donald has called the press ‘the enemy of the people’ and calls every criticism of him ‘fake news’.
My guess would be they have more access and control of you on the app. They can prevent you from blocking ads, for example.
Wow, back when I visited ZH I would always be in this cognitively dissonant place where I was getting a lot of value out of the market-related articles and cringing at all the conspiratorial political stuff. I can't believe I never considered the idea that it's sponsored by the Kremlin.
I don’t have direct experience using this app called Breaker [1], but it’s designed to have some social features for podcasts so you can connect with friends or check other recommendations.

The fact that podcasts are distributed as RSS feeds to the podcast directories, such as Apple, Google, Spotify, etc., means that some centralized platform would be required for comments and other interactions. Many podcast authors have their own podcast websites where they may allow comments, but other listeners may not know of those sites or care to comment there when they have a ready interface to comment on Apple or Google or Spotify from their favorite podcast player.

I really love Ben Awad on YouTube. Really funny smart guy. The content is always basic but it goes deep.

One video is about best practices. He mentions that some people use best practices because they are scared their code will be bad if they don't. To which he responds: "The first law of programming is that in order to write good code, first you must write bad code. You need to stop skipping steps!"

Context Free is my favourite YouTube channel right now. Most recently, he did an interview with the creator of Zig. He often contrasts multiple languages in his videos, which I find very interesting. Can't recommend context free enough.

Options are crucial for price discovery. naturally their value goes up in the face of uncertainty. As a mm you don’t have to buy the underlying to cover short calls, you can also buy less far out calls, as long as the black scholes price for the spread is favorable.

Yea, I'm very curious to hear more about this.

I've loved it at my company. It seems like development best practices + sanity enforcement outside of it and it's fairly flexible too (we use kanban instead of scrum).

It's done wonders for putting the planning of how things should be implemented into the hands of developers themselves and then essentially gets out of the way.

for my money I trust niche sites more than reddit. I know subreddits are "niche" but they tend to attract neophytes interested in a topic. For example, hn is better for programming, paceline is better for bike stuff, erowid is better for ... erowid stuff. As far as product reviews, has there ever been a reliable source? Either find an expert reviewer you trust, or a niche retailer (not Amazon).

But yeah it's a good question, why can't Google do a better job surfacing these higher quality sources. Business opportunity!
It would come down to intent. If the intent of buying a lot of options is, "I want a big position," or, "I want to hedge a big position," sure, that's probably fine. If the intent is, "I want to influence the market in some way," not so much.

This is so sad. Masayoshi Son is an ego investor trying to prove himself with the likes of Warren Buffett by making massive bets in an industry he doesn't understand. Coming off the WeWork debacle, he's gambling the money of others' for the sake of his own reputation. Unlike Buffett, he's largely unproven and using a far greater percentage of O.P.M. (Other peoples' money) than his own.
Coaxial rotor helicopters can be built without tail rotors, but my general impression is these are considered less reliable than conventional helicopters due to the added mechanical complexity of a coaxial system. But if tail rotor failure are that common, maybe coaxial rotor helicopters are worth the added complexity after all? They certainly seem more practical than rocket-helicopters.
If this were true wouldn't the size and scope of governments decline over time? I'm quite confident that there are more governmental organizations in the US than I could name, and each one of them have numerous programs. Indeed there have been entire agencies created in my lifetime, but despite the calls to defund or abolish some, I can't think of one that's closed.

(caveat: you said "things" which I took to mean something like "governmental products" which tend to have a high amount of inertia; if you had something else in mind this may not apply)
>It's hard to imagine that buying them and doing nothing other than buying them could be considered illegal.

In the purest sense, sure.

I bet there will be more to this story, and I think if insiders or associated holding companies are found to be doing so, it's at least a grey area.
Indeed, gamma squeezes can produce lots of volatility near OpEx. And call rolling can just push the gamma further out for another squeeze come the next OpEx.
Effects of Resistance Exercise Training on Anxiety: Meta-Analysis of RCT (2017)
So that would imply that for Softbank, high gamma stocks are desirable for this scheme? As in they want the maximum 'reaction' from each purchase they make?

Also, this works in reverse right? So Softbank is literally just creating a stock market bubble since the price rises are not built on anything fundamental?
Nah, a bit dramatic I would say. Anyway to the extent people see Facebook, Bannon, Trump, and the like powerful I think is because they do so in a power vacuum. Congress both in its institutional action and a lot of inaction over the last six or so administrations has left so many problems to grow and grow putrid.

As I am writing my code, I try to make sure that when I need to make a change, I can make part of the change and the type checker will surface everything that needs to change in tandem (not always in a single run). The todo list is then simply the list of remaining errors, and I can usually jump right to exactly where the fix is needed.

This sometimes works out really impressively well. There was a time I was working on a project that required really low latency at low-to-moderate throughput. It was greenfield C development, fairly experimental. I made a habit of tagging functions with an argument describing which of the statically defined threads the function needed to live on, tagging data with which thread it should be accessed from, and checking agreement between them (without runtime overhead).

This couldn't be rigorously enforced by the type system - C has way too many escape hatches - but it was easy to build a little bit of infrastructure such that doing it right was significantly easier than doing it wrong, and doing it wrong was obvious.

When (as is inevitable) we discovered that we wanted to do significantly more work somewhere and so wanted to move it out of the hot path, or discovered that some new thing we wanted to do unavoidably had to now live in the hot path, &c, I could move code between functions and the compiler would tell me everywhere I was doing something that didn't belong in the new thread.

This is a great question!

From reading the NRC submission, the support structure for the modules is Seismic Category 1 (rated for design basis earthquake). This includes the entire Reactor Building, its foundation, and requirements for the site on which it is built. The reactor building is also designed to withstand an impact from a large commercial aircraft. Note that conjecture that the modules are top-heavy appears to be unfounded given the configuration described in the NRC submission.

Elsewhere in the probabilistic risk assessment, they address a module tipping over if it is dropped in the operating area-- the most probable scenario for a horizontal module.

In the case where the drop causes the containment to be breached and does not permit inflow of water from the pool (ostensibly due to pressure difference) the result is core damage and a release of radioactive contamination to the pool.

I encourage interested readers to look at Chapter 19 of the NRC submission. Much of the document is at a level where a lay engineer can understand it. NB: I am not affiliated with NuScale or the NRC.
On another part of his homepage it says he went to MIT around the same time he did YC. As someone who interviewed for YC myself while attending MIT, I am not even going to pretend I got the interview entirely independent of my background and the opportunities it gave me - and indirectly, my ability and decision to finance a very expensive education, even after financial aid.

Now, he obviously had talent to even get into a top engineering school at that age, so there is some correlation as well as causation here. Still, unless he wasn’t admitted yet or actively hid the fact from YC, it seems highly unlikely it didn’t carry some weight - especially at that age, with so much less track record to look at.
Impossible to follow since the article doesn't tell you what libraries to load.
Since we live in a somewhat closed ecosystem, you're exchanging freedom now with freedom later with the costs we will pay from the excesses of material luxury. Until we open up the ecosystem, ie, get off earth or really learn to decrease waste, this "freedom" you speak will eventually come around to imprison us if we're not careful.
But are their influence really more than retail investors ? Especially the ones from wallstreetbets / robinhood who came after / during the pandemic. At the end of the day all these people only bought options, nothing special.
The sheer magnitude of it is what makes it seem like a pump and dump, however. The mechanics are broadly similar: send a signal that should cause people to bid up securities you own, then drop the bottom out by selling when the price goes up enough.

I’m not saying it’s illegal per se, but financial misdeeds don’t tend to get punished in the US, unless the victims are wealthy enough. See, for instance, the global financial crisis of 2008 vs Bernie Madoff.
Age has authenticated encryption so it is slightly more convenient for stuff like encrypting backups that you think might undergo some sort of known plain text attack. To prevent that with gpg you have to also sign the backup.

This recent security thing makes it seem that GPG has also gained authenticated encryption. Dunno how I feel about that. OpenPGP stuff gets its security and reliability from simplicity. Adding stuff takes away from that. This security thing kind of supports that.
Agreed. Pretty much every point needs to be followed up by "... if you're a white man."

- No one cares about your background ... if you're a white man.
- You don't need a lot of experience ... if you're a white man.
My guess, which is just a guess, is that the founders got tired of Google Search and advertising and Android and mobile hardware and privacy issues and regulatory issues so much that the “don’t be evil” motto was glaring at their faces and made them uncomfortable enough to step aside and let others run the show (or run things into the ground). This must have allowed them to enjoy their riches in relative peace.

Sometimes the things you create grow way beyond your capacity to handle and become soul crushing endeavors that bear little resemblance to the early years of adventure, fulfillment and satisfaction in serving others, and the wise thing to do would be to step aside and preserve your sanity and peace of mind.

I think it's funny how on iOS (at least for me) whenever I come across a reddit link it'll ask me whether I want to continue to view in whatever webView it's using or switch to the app. I usually prefer the app, so I click on it and 9 times out of 10 it'll take me to the app store for the default reddit app WHICH I ALREADY HAVE INSTALLED AND REGULARLY USE and it won't open in the app no mater what I try. Like this should be pretty basic functionality, especially if they're trying to drive users to their app, but nope.

The git UI is absolutely horribly designed, as demonstrated by the mercurial or darcs UIs which, while completely different, were significantly easier to discover, intuit and remember.

> If it's the latter than that's normalisation.

I'm very clumsily trying to say that if:

width / maxWidth = normalWidth

then:

normalWidth * maxWidth = width.

And so, even though we aren't necessary calculating the normal in the second equation, we can still name our variable a 'normal' as rearranging proves that is indeed what the value is.

I've come to the conclusion that it's safer for the cats and for the fauna to keep the cats indoors. It also means they don't get fleas. However, I do take them outside in the backyard on a leash and they do seem to enjoy that. This gives them some outside time without the risks (there are coyotes in the area, for example, as well as a nearby busy street). Another option is a catio.
>Buying shares also raises the price of shares

No it doesn't.

Shares prices are falling today. People are selling. That means people are also buying. Every transaction has a buyer and a seller. Yet prices still fall.
Said the poster who mostly likely never served a day in the military or read one word from S&S.

I've done both. More than once, actually. Both the Military Times and S&S suffer from the same bias as MSM. One down, potentially, and one to go in my mind.

I also don't think taxpayer money should be going to VOA or PBS or NPR for the very same reasons. And don't think most of the military doesn't feel the same way. Most people that serve are conservative leaning and can see right through the bs.

But orange man bad, I get it.

In one sense it’s sort of a moot point, as companies that hire this type of executive will in the long term be driven out of business by those who don’t.

But I don’t think you can properly incentivize people to avoid this class of mistake (short-term thinking) unless top leadership are themselves long-term owners.

Long-term owners would be very interested in avoiding this mistake, though. But it does present a bit of a tax on e.g. public companies with fragmented ownership.
This is very cool, and gives me a thought, what if you did it without "cheating"? That is, what if the whole game including its rules were in the picture? Something like Conway's game of Life but less shape-dependent, maybe utilizing the color to generate behaviors.
In my humble opinion, younger engineers are not well served by the notion that compilers, operating systems, network stacks and low level code are “solved” problems.

I’d argue this from two angles. First, are people still complaining about problems with operating systems and languages? Second, is innovation still occurring? I’d argue that the answer to both questions is a resounding yes.

Even in something as simple as network stacks, the relatively recent explosion of mobile devices and the IOT has driven change. How about low level languages? Rust has just shown up on the scene showing that low level programming wasn’t “solved” by C/C++. And I think we can all still think of big problems with our favorite operating system.

Last, consider a far older technology - the automobile. Are exciting things still happening with cars? Sure, innovation has greatly slowed down, but the electric car has the promise of reinventing the entire industry - and that’s innovating the most fundamental mechanical components like the drive train and energy source.

I think computing technology, being way younger than the automobile, still has room for big improvements at all levels of the stack.
Argh yes, scp -P vs ssh -p. I get bitten by this regularly as we have something running on a non-standard port.
I feel like if it was mission critical, they would find a way to make it work. Fund a print publisher through the black-ops budget, launch some wireless satellites or something.

I also feel like they can do without, all else being equal. Not being able to read a magazine isn't the end of the world.
> but it's likely that the unixification of computing has contributed to this divide.

It took a long time until a meaningful part of humanity got access to computers. The fraction that had access to timeshared machines via serial terminals was tiny.

In the age of the PET, the Apple II, the C64, it was usual to boot up your home computer and be greeted by a BASIC prompt (REPL, if you allow me). It was an immediate introduction to programming - a language was there, built into the computer's firmware, and you could just start writing code one second after powering the thing up. You could write programs that looked comparable to what you could buy at a store or type in from a magazine.

CP/M and then MS/DOS were a bit different. You were dropped into an OS shell rather than a programming environment. In order to program, you needed to explicitly start an interpreter or a text editor. You still could write programs that looked like professional apps on the platform, but you had to get a language, which was not usually provided.

Then the GUIs came. Now, in order to write programs for Windows, or the Mac (oh boy!), or anything else graphical, you needed to get developer tools. Microsoft's came in a crate. A Hello World app would be hundreds of lines. In order to make something useful that looked decent, you'd need to learn a lot. By then, most timeshared system users were left behind, as terminals couldn't cope with user expectations.

What was once a small crack is now a vast chasm.
Presumably not, because "I don't have, never had, and will never have a Facebook account" covers all things which need a Facebook account, which you know those things do or you wouldn't be mentioning them trying to "gotcha". And if you know it, someone who opposes Facebook that strongly surely also knows it.

"That FT article (following
@zerohedge
) on Softbank suggests the fail whale bought "billions" of call options.

The real story is that Softbank is dwarfed by retail traders, who spent $34 BILLION in call premiums in a month.

Unless Softbank cuts its orders into 10-lots, that is."
I don't think that's a common definition of corporatist. It might well be a useful concept, but it probably deserves a different label. Do you see it as distinct from "corporate capitalism"?
Good maxims, but I find that Ben's videos lack depth -- don't get me wrong, but you're just not gonna get the expert domain knowledge in any particular area watching his videos. It's also primarily for those with less experience. I still watch them as they're entertaining from time to time.
Let me rephrase: Buying a huge volume of shares equivalent to SoftBanks option delta exposure would raise the share price of whatever underlying the options were for.
This attitude is why I never finished Thimbleweed Park, it’s full of “hey remember when it was the late eighties/early nineties, wasn’t it better then” jokes and it just wore the whole thing thin for me.
