This would add a level of indirection to stockholders trying to influence the company though, right? You have to make the fund managers put pressure on the company to give you short term gains, rather than pressuring the company directly.

I've actually had the opposite experience.

After 'scraping' some forums via their APIs for weeks, I ended up realising that the data and metadata given to me by the API was so restricted (e.g. providing 'recent comments' instead of all comments) that a pure vanilla web scraping approach became the preferred option.

I agree with all the points you mention about the shortcomings though and your argument is sound. This is my opinion in the other direction, APIs come with an element of trust.
$8000 to dig a 1m hole sounds very high - that's months of someone's salary. Surely the best drilling machines can beat the cost of paying someone with a shovel for a month?

But mostly they won't be digging the holes, they will be using shafts left over from earlier mining operations.
> This also means that people are still paying a higher price for it, but that price is just mixed in with the rest of their taxes.

Given that Norway has extremely successful oil and gas investments that doesn't seem right. This is money that the average person would never see anyways. It's not money coming from their taxes back into their pockets.
In context of Pakistan, a cantonment is still is what is defined by the 1924 Cantonment Act, and not just a geographical connotation. As I understand, in India, a place may well be called a cantonment for historical reasons only, while being a regular town/city/district for administrative purposes.

And that law is defining it very, very poorly, and it is where the trouble with them comes from. Per the Act, a cantonment is “any place … in which any part of the regular forces or the regular air force of Pakistan is quartered … or is required for the service of such forces…”

Now decide on the boundary of the “any place,” which has never been historically defined, and delineations of jurisdictions with non cantoned off area.

Some cantonments never had defined boundaries, and grew to size of cities. Some, on other hand, began to envelop more and more of its host cities' area as definitions of their boundaries were reinterpreted.

Another matter is whether garbage removal, or provision of other utilities in a cantonment a duty of its own cantonal authority, or a region/county/city hosting it?

People who wrote that law wrote it before even electricity was a thing, and never though of such things.
Its not complicated, which makes it easy to generate. No reason not to make things easier to work with if you can.
This tale does not reflect reality when you look at the numbers. Housing prices have more-or-less always gone up, especially on time scales long enough to spread out market corrections. If housing prices 2-3 years ago "seem like a steal" (they don't), and the same has been true every 2-3 year cycle (it hasn't), an FHA/USDA mortgage with 3.5-5% in basically every market other than San Francisco and NYC makes sense, and if you're making software developer salaries it should take less than a year to save up 3.5% of a home you can afford (again, other than NYC and SF which are outliers).
Bezos was an investment banker.

Before he had the track record of long term development (only born from long term efforts) he knew how to speak Wall Street and had a track record on Wall Street.

Most CEO’s will never be capitalized like him for long term empire building so it’s hard to say there couldn’t be more Amazon sized successes out there if Capital was more accessible for longer term visions.

As far as I understand the Composition API is purely opt-in and aimed at cases where you want to trade simplicity for power/control.

The Options API is still the default and remained pretty much the same.

I mean for one how can you trust him not practicing subversion himself.

It feels like he is proposing a state that is concretely tied down to whatever current stable that state is in and staying there forever.

Any change can be considered a foreign subversive action.

Another point of criticism is that is USSR taught those lessons to its people then how come they literally fell into that trap, resulting in break up of USSR.

The first line of this comment is your opinion, which can't be false, as it's just an opinion, but the other four lines are all completely false.

1. IT professionals absolutely do use such systems. In droves. It's true that we are more likely to be wary of them, but a large number of IT pros I know and work with do use Alexa/Siri/etc. for home automation and all kinds of other things. And no: smart speakers are not "inferior to any type of input mode", at least not in a wide variety of circumstances. I can turn my air conditioner on or adjust its temperature while lying in bed, without getting up, and without even waking up all the way. Try that with another "type of input mode". I can turn on lights while I am stumbling to the bathroom in the middle of the night, but I can easily use only 10% brightness so as to not wake up my wife. Try that with another input mode. I could go on for pages, but I trust the point is made.

2. There are at least 300 million smart speakers out there already, and the number is growing exponentially. Amazon alone already had 100 million sold by the beginning of 2019. I don't know the exact number right now, but it's a very big number.

3. See #2. 300 million units is not a "niche".

4. Brand loyalty, in fact, gives substantial benefits to the consumer, contrary to your assertion. Greater integration of devices and ease of use is the most obvious one.
How does it compare to liquified air storage? It might have a sweetspot somewhere but liquid air uses a lot of off-the-shelf technology.

The position is that information not physical matter is ontologically primary and that substrate independent integrated information processing is identical to consciousness.

A hello world program and a rock are not integrated information processing systems. The former is an automata which can be contained in an integrated information processing systems and the latter is a more arbitrary construct which does very little information processing at all (much less integrated).
Anecdotally, it seemed like every open source project I looked at had some sort of banner showing support for BLM.

The Django, React Router and React docs all definitely had BLM stuff.
Unfortunately with WASM we don't have so many other ways to migrate a desktop GUI application at the moment. If I have to redesign the whole existing GUI application to run on WASM, the technology is not really attractive.

I think you're just misunderstanding what wasm is. Writing browser applications in any language was never a "core benefit proposition", it was just something that you could do with the tooling. The value has always been in the library/platform layer. Objectively pure wasm is faster than pure javascript, subjectively the additional type safety from writing in Rust (which is practically speaking what most people shipping wasm write their source code in) makes people more confident that their complex code works.

Outside of a few hobbyists, nobody is writing entire web applications in wasm. We already have great frameworks for dealing with UI/DOM stuff.
For me the killer app for voice assistants is in the kitchen 100%. Being able to juggle a bunch of timers, control the AC and fans, dictate to multiple lists, play music, control the TV, and respond to texts while my hands are covered in food is easily worth the like $40 the thing cost.

I'm not super impressed with any of the assistants "smart" features but in terms of being able to shout canned commands at it in a noisy environment it's top notch.

> It obviously benefits buyers in non-hot markets. It's pretty nice to put $7500 down in the mid-west for a house.

Unfortunately banks won't loan what they see as small mortgages like that. This leaves the lower priced homes only available to landlords buying cash. I live in a home like this myself - all the banks would happily loan me $215,000 with $35k down, but no bank would loan me $15,000 to buy a $50k house. There's many people renting in my city that have decent credit that could easily afford one of these lower cost homes, but instead the houses stay empty or get turned in to rentals.
> It's hard to move somewhere for cheap housing where you literally wouldn't know a single person, though. Social life is important.

And this is fine, but it seems very disingenuous to say that it's a crime that you can't afford to buy a home when you refuse to move out of arguably one of the most expensive cities in the country. It's equivalent to crying about not being in the 1% when you're in the top 1.5%, and you could move if you wanted to.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to live in San Francisco, but expecting to buy a home a few years after graduating from college is ridiculous in my opinion.

No, even Sweden's epidemiologists say that up to 30% of their population could be immune.[1] They tried to shoot the moon but missed. They are in a similar place to nearby countries now but got there with a much higher death toll

US treasuries mostly in late march. Demand for dollars skyrocketed due to covid-19 and people were selling their treasuries to get dollars causing treasury yields to spike so the FED started buying $75 billion in Treasury securities per day to supply liquidity to the Treasury market and ended up buying over $1 trillion in Treasury securities within a short 3-week window.

It can be worse than zero: your tape drive get hit with lots of small file requests, running much slower than it would be to stream a restore of a large batch containing all of the files you need, and causing increased failure rates on the hardware and media because tape drives are designed to stream, not seek. I’ve had to explain this to multiple HSM admin teams who were trying to save a few bucks on staging HDD capacity and surprised to see it taking over a month to restore a terabyte of data (not joking - and that was with multiple drives!) and hardware failing at like 5x the manufacturer’s estimates.

What you’re trying to do is akin to saying you can write an interface layer to make a railroad look like Uber: at some point the fundamental differences between the architectures are too much to paper over. The situation has improved now that the major operating systems have offline file support so you can make it more obvious that some files are not instantly available but you still need all of your client software to handle that gracefully.
I would look to England for answers to those questions.
Authentic Marketing Wins
Is the hardware what's stopping you? Let's suppose you really want to do this and it's exciting. Go buy the damn hardware yourself. They pay you great money, spend $5,000 buy/build a beefed up desktop with GPU and start training. Submit an expense report. If they deny, no problem, it's your hardware. At the end, you end up working/producing, having fun doing what you want to do, end up with valuable experience.

The dividend is not based on their cashflow. So if Apple is paying 1% dividend on a $100 stock price, but their cashflows increase every year, they're still paying you $1 every year.

What I'm suggesting is an exchange where the dividend is a fixed % of their cashflows. Let's say it's 1%. If their cashflow is 1 billion, then 1% of it goes to their shareholders. If it doubles the next year, then 1% of that 2 billion goes to the shareholders.

Combine this with a minimum holding period (ie 1 year), and you've basically now made the stock price equate to its fundamentals. ie how much cashflow it's generating in the future. If investors think it'll go up, they'll bid the price up. not because they want to sell it to a greater fool.
This seems sensible. If you want the goodwill from your investors to make a long term bet like Amazon did, you need to explain it to them in terms they can understand. It's a language anyone can learn with sufficient training and experience.
5000 tons at 1500m is ~20MWh [1], assuming 100% efficiency (frictionless free fall).

That means that the theoretical maximum is 50x (!) less than 1 nuclear reactor can do in 1 hour (1000 MW for 18 months or 13 140 000 MWh). Put it differently, you'd need to dig 50 of these to output the equivalent of 1 nuclear reactor (and nuclear plants have 2 or more reactors) for one hour.

That's also assuming digging a hole this deep in a stable manner.

Northgard requires Galaxy for single-player content. It's not subtle about it.

Your response says more about what you can tell with a quick google search than anything else.

I'm fascinated that I've been complaining about this here on HN for months, and the only response I ever get -- which comes up every time -- is "what are you talking about, that's not true". This isn't a matter of opinion. It's not even difficult to check. And yet, there are so many people whose worldview apparently rests on the opposite of the facts.

> (100 ton) * (80 meter) * (9.81 (m / (s^2))) = 21.8 kilowatt hours

Nah.

In exchange for nearly doubling the weight of the average 3MW tower, adding enormous complexity, you'd be able to boost power output to 3.02 MW for one hour.

That gets us back to the fundamental problem with gravity storage - it's all mgh. You want to store a lot of energy, you better have a shit-ton of either m, g, or h, and one of those numbers is already tough to change :)

I'm not limiting myself to the BBC, I'm saying any of the newspapers, any half decent news source.

>In the article his solicitor seems to be referring to a lack of ability to prepare and doesnt seem to have been pulled up on any specifcs not being true?

Let me be more specific then, in the Guardian reporting we don't only hear from the defence lawyer - we hear the judge's response:

>But Baraitser refused the defence request, saying she had previously offered Assange’s lawyers an opportunity to adjourn the hearing to give them more time to deal with the new US indictment. That had been declined.

So actually that's not quite as clear cut as we were meant to beleive, they'd been previously offered more time and had refused.

>And why max security and solitary confinement?

Again, because there's not great reporting, I don't know a certain answer to this, but it has been mentioned that he was put in solitary because there were fears over his safety in general population. He has since been moved out of solitary.

>I would have thought house arrest would probably have done it, yes survailance wpuld cost but how kuch does solitary confinment cost?

Oh come on now, he's got a history of absconding.

>he did actually go along with the police requests in sweden and volunteered repeatedly to give a statement or be interviewed but was denied it.

See, this is another of those one-sided stories you hear from Assange's defenders. It's more complicated than that, Sweden wanted him to return so they can interview him (and possibly charge him) and he refused, instead saying he would be willing to let them come to the UK to question him. Suspects in crimes don't get to make those demands.

>The lack of cooperation apparently came when he got wind of the US wanting to extrodite him, and had sweden agreed not to extrodite him he would have returned for the interviews.

The law doesn't work like that, Sweden can't just discard their international extradition treaties because Assange wants them to. By making that demand he has basically said there is no possibility of him complying. It's interesting though because there is literally no reason to think that Sweden would be more willing to extradite Assange than the UK.

It all makes sense if you believe in an information is universal idea where it should all be freely available.

Though, you you get cases like celebritynetworth.com (no affiliation to me) that was featured on HN where Google wanted to APIize the data and when that was not available they decided to scrape it. It effectively killed the business.

I think if a company decides to offer an API or other structured data then fine, they've decided that their data can be shared in a way that makes it OK to collect en masse.

I wouldn't say we should "learn to love" scraping when there are sites that put a lot of man hours into the data that's seen on public html pages only for someone else to spend a few hours scraping it and repurpose it.

Now, if the major traffic drivers like search engines and social networks were able to differentiate who the true authoritative source is, that'd be great. But they don't.

>it's not clear you will be able to write a fast kernel (emphasis on fast) without having as much GPU/CUDA knowledge as what's required to write the same fast kernel in CUDA. I might be wrong, and if so that would be great.

What I showed was the the essentially no-knowledge pure Julia code gets to ~60% of the optimized CUDA kernel that libraries tend to wrap. Take that as you will for whether that means that means that a user requires to write a "fast kernel": it's a data point and if you define that as fast enough then Julia does it, or if you require 100% as fast as the fastest CUDA kernel ever found :shrug: it doesn't get there quite yet because there's a lot of people working on getting it there.
