WhatsApp doesn't actually require a facebook account, just a phone number. Or at least it used to be that way?

Personally I (unfortunately) do use WhatsApp while avoiding all other Facebook products. At least WhatsApp doesn't try to manipulate you and has some form of e2e encryption.
Part of the difference here is that BH is legally obligated to disclose when they buy shares of companies. At least, they are under certain circumstances, which I can’t remember off the top of my head. You can’t punish someone for something they’re legally obligated to do, because one can’t be legally obligated to commit a crime.
Good work. This is called management - performance reviews are a sop to try and make up for poor management but are utterly useless and often counter productive (there’s no better incentive to start job hunting than having to prepare for a performance review)

Competent managers don’t need to do performance reviews and bad managers are not helped by them

I feel the opposite. US politicians across both parties have an incentive to keep the market indices going up and to the right. And so it will since politicians have control of the money supply.

> One thing to note is that checks and resyncs of the proposed setup are significantly prolonged (by a factor of 3 to 4) compared to an mdraid without the integrity-layer underneath. The investigation so far has so far not revealed the underlying cause. It is not CPU-bound, indicating that the read-performance is not held back by checksumming, the latency figures above do not imply an increase in latency significant enough to cause a factor 3-4 prolonged check-time, disabling the journal did not change this either (as one would expect, as the journal is unrelated to read, which should be the only relevant mode for a raid-check).

> ZFS was roughly on par with mdraid without the integrity-layer underneath with regard to raid-check time.

> If anyone has an idea of the root cause of this behavior, feel encouraged to contact me, I’d be intrigued to know.

note that by default ZFS is tuned to prioritize online transactions at the expense of scrub/resilver speed, as this is a sensible choice for its intended use-case of business storage appliances. Businesses can't stop the world for a resilver.

For your average home NAS, you can tune ZFS to scrub/resilver faster, not really a big deal as you are not really hammering it anyway.

A particular MM might lay off the call risk by purchasing a call, but all they're doing is passing the risk on to a different MM.

There aren't that many natural vol sellers (hedge funds, mostly? and implicitly the Fed), so MMs as a group have the function of converting implied vol into realized vol via their delta hedging activities.
The vibe I'm getting from the FT and the WSJ is that SoftBank and Masayoshi Son are colossal idiots. That was the case since the WeWork IPO and even earlier (when the story about SoftBank funding competing startups came out). Does this mean that SoftBank is much worse than the rest of the finance industry? Or is it simply because they're based in Tokyo and don't have a PR team in New York and London that's as strong as their competitors?

In my code, rather than use a generic term to describe the number, I try to name what it actually represents in context. For example, if I'm scoring items so I can rank them, and I need to normalize some number to do that, I'll call it a "score" or a "rank".

Calling it a "proportion" or "ratio" or "normalized" is like calling a variable "myinteger" or "myfloat". Your naming convention should be related to a variable's purpose, not its data type.

I get what you're saying but I would say that's kinda how it is, but just a question of how much it looks like gambling from moment to moment... and how much you know / is reality.
Among the comments:

The link "off-topic" in the notice eventually takes you to the help center which states:

> But please, don’t ask any questions about the following topics. They are out of scope for this site.

> * Naming, including naming programming variables/classes

The question was edited, but the original version was about how to name a variable.

That said, the reason why they're not allowed is not as apparent to me as it is to the mod that made the comment quoted above.

Sounds like you witnessed federal contract fraud, which is a felony.

Unfortunately there is no longer any good way to report this crime. Official whistleblower channels are compromised or ineffective, and going directly to the public... well, there are plenty of cautionary examples of how poorly that tends to go.

I think that YouTube is great for culture. It includes programming culture. Basically telling you that things exist.

However if you really want to do something, you need practice, and YouTube is not ideal for that.

For programming, what you need is a computer, a development environment (preferably something well integrated if you are beginning) and a project (if you are a beginner, the simpler the better). Text documentation you can refer to at any time is I think the best. Paper books vs online articles and manuals is debatable but they are all better than video for practicing.
I'm not arguing, that number just seemed shockingly high to me so I suspected it was overstated. It was. That's all.
My favorite insight:

> “[...] tenancy conditions tended to be more favorable in rice-farming areas than in wheat-farming ones, with a lower portion of the total harvest going to the landlord. Thus the irony that precisely because labor was so abundant, rice farming tended towards labor-intensive methods and solutions, which in turn improved returns to labor (compared to returns to capital), putting the small farmers, despite their abundance, in a marginally better bargaining position.”
I believe on my last Android I had to disable some system apps to prevent it from installing an update I didn't want. It was a Motorola. My iPhone will allow me to defer it a couple times but always lets me know what date and time in the future it'll install the update, just like Windows 10 does.
It's a good list, but, sigh, "key innovation, a circuitry trick called address multiplexing" -- for anyone "skilled in the art", this isn't innovation. It's an OBVIOUS way to deal with the pin limitation.

You're solution is the ideal one and safest, although in the interest of maximum flexibility since the goal here seems more documentative than prescriptive, it could also be as simple as creating a type alias. In C for example a simple `#define UnitInterval float`, and then actual usage would be `function FuncName(UnitInterval accuracy)`. That accomplishes conveying both the meaning of the value (it represents accuracy) and the valid value range (assuming of course that UnitInterval is understood to be a float in the range of 0 to 1).

Having proper compile time (or runtime if compile time isn't feasible) checks is of course the better solution, but not always practical either because of lack of support in the desired language, or rarely because of performance considerations.

In all honesty it doesn't even have to be large, it suffices to be powerful. Like the President. If you're the president, you don't really need the 535 people from congress to act with you. You only need them to not act, which they can be relied on to do more often than not. (In fact, I believe you don't even need all 535 of them to not act, only some of them can take the action of "no action" and you can do what you wish.)
That’s ridiculous. It doesn’t take an attempt to learn about heart surgery techniques to recognize that you can’t perform or have any meaningful opinions about heart surgery.
I'm not involved with either, but I've looked at both for other projects[1]. The Rust implementation's CLI mirrors that of the reference (Go) implementation, and I haven't had stability issues with either. I found the Rust implementation's source code readable and decently documented.

Free speech is a two-way street. Journalists are allowed to criticize politicians, but for the same reason politicians are allowed to criticize journalists. The government prosecuting journalists concerns me more than the government criticizing journalists, though both are concerning. Thankfully Trump is too impotent to make good on most of his juvenile threats, or we'd definitely be in trouble. More than Trump, I fear a hypothetical future president who's competent enough to do more than spout hot air.
Out of curiosity, do you think that taxpayer money should go towards campaign events for the President?

I think this is addressed here:

"For there’s the real rub with digital isolation — the problem those billionaires identified when we were gaming out their bunker strategies. The people and things we’d be leaving behind are still out there. And the more we ask them to service our bubbles, the more oppressed and angry they’re going to get."
I think it's more likely that it's an attempt to steer the conversation away from the usual reaction (which was discussed to death two weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24208958).

> why does it seem like it's so much easier to dismantle things than to create them in the first place?

it's because it's incredibly difficult to get anything passed, the US legislative system has too many checks and balances. Every "check and balance" is another group that has to reach consensus for a proposed action and another point for an adversarial opponent to grind everything to a halt.

I contend that it is better to have a government that can reach consensus easily and act, and that is easy to change if they no longer reflect public consensus, than to have "checks and balances" where absolutely 100% of the government needs to be in consensus to do anything. Gridlock should not be a design feature of a government but that's how the system was engineered (deliberately - it dates from a time when states didn't view themselves as federal subjects but independent states, and this was supposed to help get everyone on board that "no, really, we're just going to do the things that absolutely everyone agrees on", there were many groups who were afraid of being steamrollered without their own special little body and checks on other authorities).

Unicameral parliamentary systems are better - one house to pass legislation, one PM who is a member of the majority in parliament, so everyone is on the same page. Snap elections if they do something that nobody likes, if they don't want to listen to the public then the queen can dissolve parliament and call for new elections.

(the queen actually is a very interesting role in the UK, she is kind of an "oracle" that decides deadlocks between the public and the parliament. When the two are in disagreement about whether to call elections she can resolve the stalemate. She really doesn't do much normally but in times of constitutional crisis can serve as a trusted independent authority - a very interesting safety mechanism that evolved almost by accident.)
When I was growing up my brother and I used to spend a week each summer at our cousins' house. They had a copy of Monkey Island and each summer we would tell ourselves, "This is the year we're going to beat Monkey Island." Each year we never made it much further than the first Island. Eventually our cousins lent us the game and we beat it over the course of a few months.

Interestingly, I think about Monkey Island a lot because I often tell people (only half jokingly) that the way that I think about learning conversational skills is by using the same mechanics as the sword fighting challenge in The Three Trials. As you gain experience sword fighting, you pick up new phrases and you eventually learn the situations in which you yourself can apply those phrases appropriately to defeat the other swords[wo]men. Similarly, I've found it quite effective to watch how other people use techniques to illicit specific reactions from people. After a while of seeing the same technique applied by different people for slightly different reasons, you can start using it yourself. Eventually you have a big bucket of techniques you can use whenever!

For native apps, I've had success using:

wxWidgets (C++) / wxPython (Python)
Qt (C++) / PyQT (Python)

Mike Driscoll has a recent ebook on wxPython that is a good jumpstart if you are familiar with Python. There are a host of other resources for Qt/PyQt available via Google.

You can, of course, use any of the NodeJS frameworks as well. In the absence of any clear requirements, any of these will work.
