> If this is your argument

I was not providing an argument, I was attempting to save time by rebutting the argument I thought you would make.

Why do you find this trend "ridiculous" and "disturbing"? Deeper in this thread you state this is somehow worse UX, and makes the text less readable. I... don't see how it's any less readable, could you elaborate?

I had thought you might say that this style is distracting, because it is so unusual you're involuntarily pulled from the content and made to focus on the form. I was trying to say, this effect is real, but it is at worst a temporary one. As you note this is a real trend and I expect soon we'll all be used to it. I'm already pretty used to it.

It's also a little ironic that you're rebelling against a new capitalization scheme but you're happy to use "BTW". Can you find a dictionary from 10 years ago which includes "BTW"? You're clearly okay with some form of language evolution, why draw the line here?

Been buying records pretty much non-stop since 97. Aside from a few pictures, photos and gig ticket stubs, they're pretty much the only physical form of reference to my cultural interests I have from the last 25 years.

This is probably anecdotal, but I can recall a huge amount of my collection pretty much instantly when someone asks me which records I have by artist X, or which records did I buy in 2019. I have the complete opposite for books I read on my Kindle - if someone asks me which books I read last year or who the author of the last book I read was then I find it a challenge to recall.

The tangibility of physical media just seems to give me a better connection to the album, artist, label and songs.

How delightfully unsatisfactory but a neat way to resolve it. If these things did get into history books, a consensus likely would have been reached in the collective minds by then.
Which means to hire you a company doesn't need to compete with FAANG on salary. This doesn't refute my original point that startups don't really need to compete with FAANG salaries for talent.
I think it's true though. The opposition to GMO foods is typically reflexive and unthinking. It's not grounded in logic or science. That's not to say throw all caution to the wind, but I've yet to hear anyone make a sound argument in this case. And there are at least good arguments to be made on both sides referencing the existing literature.

How often is the strike price the fair market value of the employee equity pool? Most VCs carry preference stacks to either 1x or 2x of the current valuation, Leaving the options structurally underwater unless the company increases in value by 3x. To take home the strike price equivalent per option could require up to a 6x increase in valuation.

This is a non-obvious way that employees are often screwed on options.

Randomized controlled trials: when the gold standard leaves you with fool’s gold
The point of the comment is it’s not run of the mill stupidity, contrary to what the author implies.

Those advantages are specific to digital audio, not CDs. You get the same features if you have a FLAC collection on a flash drive.

What you said is true when compared to analog mediums like vinyl. Even the dust that's sitting on top of the record can color the audio and that's before we even consider the quality of the turntable hardware. People actually perceive vinyl as the better medium because of this.

Having done this also, one point of care to take: Make sure your salary is right-sized post-acquisition. The buying company will likely have operating capital requirements based on existing PNL. Assuming you stay on, which key employees will likely have to, your low-salary position could be directly imported into the new position at the new company.

Hence my qualification with 'binding'.

In most of the world, most of the time retail prices for bread are allowed to vary, and a bakery can offer a loaf of bread for 50 dollars or for 10 cents without issue.

You are right that there's lots of regulations and subsidies and taxes in the whole production chain of bread.

So if you want a more sophisticated version of my toy argument, then let's argue based on sliding scales, not binary distinctions:

There's lots of different products in different industries in different countries, and larger amounts of regulation don't seem to correlate with lower prices or better quality. If anything, it's just the opposite.

See especially black markets that are by definition at most lightly regulated and spring up every time the regulations on the formal markets go awry. (I don't want to so 'every time regulations become too much' because it's not about quantity so much as it is about sensible rules.)
> One issue with PGO is you are optimizing for the particular subset of use cases which are profiled, on the exact machine you profile on.

The exact machine part is not true. There's nothing about this particular optimization that's machine specific - e.g. as the original post explains, this optimization gives performance boost on Intel and AMD, on Intel due to reduction in iTLB misses, and on AMD due to reduction in L1 and L2 icache misses. i.e. this kind of "working-set" reduction translates to any platform.

> In fact, you may often be taking that 2% or more away from other use cases.

In general, it is correct that profile-guided optimization can theoretically reduce performance, as some of the aggressive optimizations are only done with profile because of inherent trade-off the optimization has (e.g. aggressive inlining which can be detrimental for the performance if hot functions are entirely different).

However, empirically this is not true in most cases, unless you picked really bad training input, and your code has extremely different behavior under different input. Moreover, nowadays with sampled profile, which you can collect from the real, production runs, it's extremely unlikely for this to happen.
This is how I learned to code. Ot was excellent. Its been very hard over the course of my career to learn other non basic languages, and I attribute it largely to those help files being so good that it became my first and main language.

> A $1.5m is barely enough to invest in one early stage startup these days.

I just raised a $1.5m seed round for my startup and can tell you this isn't true. We've published all the numbers on our raise so you can take a look for yourself[0]. The average check an angel wrote was $22k and we even had a check as low as $5k. In fact, the largest check in our round was only $200k.

I rarely downvote. I downvoted this because it’s factually incorrect. I see deals with angels placing $50k every week, up and down the west coast.

I’ve never done the FAANG -> Angel thing, but I see nothing about it that isn’t viable for even a generally friendly and interested FAANG employee on the west coast.
Getting infuriated by something as shallow as a "brand name" inevitably leads to shallow comments.

Perhaps I'm overreacting to one word there, but fury doesn't make for curious conversation.
The trap is in the title. "Let employees". As long as you're just an employee you're at the mercy of these absurd mechanics. Opt out.
That makes it confusing when there isn't a difference (I think map and collect?).
You're technically right, but there's something to be said for doing right by your employees, and word gets around.

But because Git was initially a toolkit for a version control system rather than a full user-friendly VCS, it has a number of subcommands that do low-level work and were designed to be chained together UNIX-style or called from scripts. These commands are generally referred to as Git’s “plumbing” commands, while the more user-friendly commands are called “porcelain” commands.

Ah, I definitely worked in a place where that distinction in terminology was used, but maybe it isn't widespread. In any case, whatever you call either one of them, sampling from production processes can have benefits over sampling from synthetic workloads.

You're assuming that all languages have a "System.Guid" type that the configuration value can be parsed into.

If you want a strongly type configuration that works across many languages, you'll need to also provide the per-language implementation of those types to fill the gaps.

You'll notice that JSON, YAML, INI, and XML also do not have IP address nor GUID types.

What configuration format does meet your approval?

When I connect my laptop via copper cable to our fibre modem, I get just shy of the Gigabit.

Only a few handsets can achieve the Gigabit LTE. I don't think any iPhone is amongst them. (It is after all predominately an American device. And what good would that capability do you in the US?)

The Gigabit LTE is useful in practice not so much for any sustained Gigabit speeds, but because it allows your phones to 'race to idle'. Most traffic is bursty, and higher peak speeds mean your phone transmits for a smaller proportion of time. Leaving more time for other phones on the network, and perhaps helping with battery conservation?

The remastering for CD would be from the original recording which were usually 24 IPS (or was it 39?) AMPEX tape. Those tapes held massive amounts of sonic data so remastering for CD was really a step down. Since the target medium was one where you didn’t have such strict dynamic limits in the last ten minutes of a side (eg: you weren’t going to make the needle jump out of the groove of the dynamics exceeded the limits of vinyl) you can get a fuller sound all the way through the album. This attention to detail of the constraints was something that was in the minds of the songwriter, composer, the performers, and the engineers. These day... “record at 96khz and we’ll fix it in post” but no amount of post-production can fix an inferior composition.

I think it’s a bit funny how some discussion in this thread has veered into denigrating Musk — who is at times one of the ten richest people in the entire world, and who ships products that millions of people have bought or aspire to purchasing, and who is predominately responsible for ushering in this entire era of the electronic car.

Don’t forget that “Hindenburg Research” (seriously?!) stands to make many tens or hundreds of millions of dollars based on whether they can convince a significant number of shareholders that what they are claiming is true. And also that if they are successful in doing so that it also becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I have no reason to believe or disbelieve any claims being made in TFA, so the only thing I can say for sure is that that this “report” is in no way altruistic.

One of the very precarious notions around short selling is the financial incentive it provides to ruinously slander a company, and the very meager legal protections a company has against defamatory claims that short sellers make — in the name of “analysis” — against a company that they stand to make a fortune from if it fails.

Without knowing anything one way or another about Nikola, the only thing I can say for certain is that if Nikola misstates a material fact to investors they can go to jail, whereas if “Hindenburg” gets their facts entirely wrong they face no repercussions. They have no duty to the shareholders of Nikola stock, and the legal peril of being even willfully wrong in their analysis is minuscule compared to what Nikola officers could face from the SEC.

That’s just the grain of salt I would carefully consider before reading anything that Hindenburg puts out.

But you don't really have a straight line. You have an instantaneous step change.

Of course, when you're zoomed in that much the concept of 'price' becomes a lot more complex. You need to distinguish between bid, ask, and last transaction price. So the whole mental model kind of falls apart.
That reminds me of reading the original Tarzan from 1912, in which Burroughs writes of how a boy raised in the jungle with only animals for company came to be able to read (and only later speak) English, all on his own.

Quoting for memory, after Tarzan finds some books and newspapers as a result of someone’s previous tragedy in the jungle: “Tarzan, being of superior intellect by virtue of being born to English parents, was able to figure out the meaning of the symbols he found in the books and realized they were forming words and sentences,” from which he not only learned to read English but also devoured the books (textbooks?) and their content.

I read John Carreyrou's book on the Theranos debacle, and I know someone who worked there. At risk of violating the Goldwater Rule, I'd say Ms. Holmes has some serious psychological issues that make her incompetent, primarily her capacity for self-delusion. And not just the "I'll skip my workout today and run extra tomorrow" type of self-delusion that so many of us are capable of, I mean a truly bizarre distortion of reality as she sees it.

I also read an article about her childhood and family life. It was sad, overwrought with anxiety, and a formula for the exact kind of pathology she appears to have had at Theranos. Even if she had lost my investment capital instead of other people's, I'd still feel sorry for her rather than angry.
