> Investor invests in building. Lightning burns it down.

False example. The owner of a warehouse (clearly what you mean even though you fail to specify) would in general not have been held liable for the value of others' goods that were lost. As no less than Rothbard pointed out, contracts alone could have excluded that liability, with no need for a corporate structure. Or the owner and/or investors could have purchased insurance, which also predates corporate structure by centuries. The introduction of a new legal entity, which has since been expanded to be equal (or superior to) natural persons under law, was unnecessary to secure the benefits of investment.

> Before limited liability, unlimited liability was the norm. If a merchant invested some of his profits in a ship, and the ship sank, then those with cargo on the ship could sue the merchant for all the merchant was worth, far surpassing the value the cargo was worth.

You just happened to pick an example that has been used to show why the corporate form was unnecessary.

"The corporate form emerged from economic arrangements that mirrored the concept of limited liability offered by modern corporations. One such arrangement was the commenda, a system developed in Eleventh Century Italy ... This arrangement allowed the passive partner to limit his or her liability of their investment"
Robert W. Hillman, Limited Liability in Historical Perspective

People were already investing, without corporations, in the eleventh century. As I said before, your claim was untrue.

> If I'm possibly liable for $1,000,000, I'm not likely to ever invest that $100.

That's why you would write a limitation into any contracts related to that investment, and/or buy insurance. Either could be overridden by acts of gross negligence (an illegal clause in a contract is void and insurance contracts have similar exceptions). If you're negligent or malicious, or authorize others to be negligent or malicious on your behalf, you damn well should be liable for a proportional share of damages which could exceed the value of investments. Hint: don't do things that harm other people and you'll have nothing to worry about. Did you look up "moral hazard" yet?

Depending on the teacher and school, everything from kids coming to school hungry or without supplies to obesity to discipline problems to cheating to bullying/cyberbullying to child abuse to uninvolved parents to mental health problems to anxiety to drugs to deficiencies in the curriculum to achievement gaps between genders, classes and races to lack of good role models to gang culture.

That's not to say every teacher works to address all those things at once - at some schools they might not contend with any at all! But I've seen people call on the education system to do almost everything you'd otherwise expect parents to do.
Spending a lot of money helps less than you might think. You can definitely get well qualified people, but ‘qualified’ is only a proxy for what you want. For example if people leave after 2-3 years you lose out on massive amounts of institutional knowledge. But, more importantly you select for people that are very good at hacking your processes rather than your problems.

Which I suspect is why their search for example has gotten so bad. Google is doing a great many things that look good internally that make search less useful.

Simscape Multibody looks very cool and I can see how it and MockMechanics could complement each other: create something super fast without any real physics considerations on MockMechanics just to brainstorm an idea, then once you have narrowed it down, model it properly with Simscape Multibody.

Imagine all politicians have at least a bit of dirt in secret, documented in some email, text, or photo, on a computer somewhere. Also suppose each politician has varying degrees of dirt, from minor mistakes, not in bad faith, to full on treason.
Then suppose there's an adversary capable of hacking any of the politicians' aforementioned secret media. This adversary can now pick and choose which politician they release damaging evidence of. They don't need to release all of it, implicating the politician with the most severe grievances. Just the one the adversary decides they disfavor.
In this case, your argument is saying "let's focus on this small mistake, because that's all the info we have."

I'm not advocating that in the real world, the bigger story is about who's releasing the info, rather than the info itself. However, there are issues when not taking both into account.

My grandmother was in good health but my mother didn't want to assist her (Medicare-provided) caretaker anymore and wanted her assets. She and my stepfather manufactured a scenario in which she took a fall, then stuck her in a nursing home and she died within a year. My mother knew the rules and got what she wanted without any repercussions (beyond losing contact with her only son).
Funny story about this. A few years ago, someone wrote an @channel, something like “SF office be careful which printer you select, several items from your office have ended up printed in Boston”

To which I replied “this sounds impossible” and started trying to figure out how this person could be so confused about printing that documents might magically make their way across the country from office to office!

At which point I discovered, to my great embarrassment, that Cloud Print existed, and that it was necessary to set up printers this way because of Chromebooks. Oops.

Not sure yet whether I am happy that it’s gone, or sad that other old-school techs like me won’t be able to have similar experiences going forward :)
For a long time I experienced excessive pain with both threads and task parallelism. It took a good year or two to realize the problem was that I didn't have a good instinct for figuring out which technology is more appropriate for a given situation.

I agree with you about that specific downside you mentioned.

Plus there's some other downsides such as likelihood that you might have to mix small amounts of Javascript as a second language into a WASM heavy solution based on another language.

However those are tradeoffs, and depending on the situation those tradeoffs can be very acceptable. A lot of enterprise software for instance isn't particularly concerned with those issues, and benefits strongly from the other very very significant benefits that can come from the other side of the tradeoff of avoiding the javascript ecosystem (not just language, but culture, tooling, churn and etc). Those benefits can include a range of things but I will just point out one theme which is increased stability and maintainability .. expressed in thing like type safety and refactoring tools, longer release cycles, less reliance on packages in favour of batteries included comprehensive language libraries, less pain with package upgrades, less pain with the canoninical way to use your framework de jour changing each year, less pain with prior art patterns being (gradually) rediscovered (and renamed) , and generally a culture that prioritises reliability and maintainability over the new hotness (or hotmess, depending on perspective!).

There's other situations, such as building the absolute fastest load time for a customer page, that tradeoff might not be appropriate. However to be fair there are other techniques for managing that, such as server side rendering and client hydrating of SPAs. Or gasp server rendered sites hehe with just a sprinkling of client interactivity if needed.

(Actually I think SPAs are usually not great at fast time to responsiveness, but that's really another discussion and lets not get sidetracked. The main point is the drawbacks are tradeoffs, and for many systems they are appropriate tradeoffs.)
This is a fair counterexample I had forgotten about.

Any resources on how to get started?

I tought about using Rust instead of JavaScript for frontend for some time.

On the one hand, Rust is a step back, because there is quite some things you have to do more than with JavaScript.

On the other hand, Rust has an interesting type system that could save you in the long run and things like pattern-matching and expressions everywhere is even a direct usability improvement over JavaScript.

So it's not, Rust is more low-level than JavaScript, that's why it's bad for frontend, but more, Rust is different from JavaScript some parts are harder, some are easier.
That’s so disingenuous.

It’s a knowledge base. It’s well designed documentation. Something that many folks in IT lack at times. Showing people you can properly document knowledge in a collaborative way helps you get hired.
My favourite bit of gawk (ok, an extended version of awk but it's probably what you are running) is the network support, which in the manual includes writing simple HTTP servers with it. I kid you not.

Exactly. Maybe I wasn't clear in my comment above. My point is that most resources on intermittent fasting allow (and actually encourage) drinking a lot of water, and rightfully so. At the same time a lot of the research is done on subjects who observe Ramadan fasting and do not drink water. This difference has to influence the results in some way.

I certainly wouldn't give the PS4 version as an example of how weak AAA titles are regarding bugs.

Mailchimp to Deactivate Accounts for 'False, Inaccurate, or Misleading' Emails
I’m sure I’m not the only one wondering, but why would someone want to write web code in Rust.

To be fair, as a web developer by day, I still haven’t gotten around to trying to write any Rust in my free time. I am curious though. But after browsing the docs of actix-web and rocket, it seems a bit of a reach to say you could use these solutions in place of monolithic frameworks Django or Rails.

Maybe if they had said they could take the place of an Express/ Slim / Flask app I wouldn’t have rolled my eyes as hard. Wouldn’t these battle tested ‘micro’ frameworks be a better comparison?

Anyway, since I really know next to nothing about Rust, what would be the benefits for me to pick say, Actix-web over Slim to start a new project?

I get the feeling the best reason would be I’m already an experienced Rust developer and want to leverage that domain knowledge. Or maybe a team that already writes a lot of Rust wants to keep consistency over their repos.
Google seems to suggest this is it:

GNU Awk has lots of extensions and is a relatively big language, but I definitely think you can learn most of the original Awk in two weeks - and you can certainly learn enough to be useful in two hours. It's been a decade now, but my recollection is that when I spent a day or two idly reading the Awk book, and was able to immediately employ it in simple shell pipelines after reading not that many pages. I think Awk is useful once you've learned just a bit about it, and I don't think learning a lot about Awk is very useful - there are languages that are better suited for complex tasks.
Just because a story can rock the boat doesn't mean it passes the journalistic bar to be published.

My take based on all parties' responses is that Glenn threw a tantrum because his editors were doing their job (stopping unsubstantiated lies from being published).
Can't believe this is allowed on the road.
The "media" isn't optimizing for clicks or engagement. The media is optimizing for advancing the democratic political party. It blocks stories that cover topics where the political right may be correct.

Proof: Stories like the one they are hiding can drive a lot of traffic. They are hidden to advance one political party over another. The stories aren't killed because they want traffic.

2040: Google sunsets users
I have used awk a lot on csv files. I basically agree with your comments, for me the use case is preliminary exploration, not really much more. There is also the issue of one liners not really ending themselves to good coding practice generally, but it sure is great to dive into a file quickly.

What I came here to say is that when I have a csv file I'm looking at with awk, thos first thing I do is a `wc -l`, then get NF (number of fields) for the first row of the csv (here e.g. 80), followed by `awk -F, 'NF==80'` | wc -l`. If the numbers don't match, then I know it's not parsing properly.

The most common issue of course is commas in quotes strings. I have a small script that removes these, so I can still use awk easily. Anything more complex like newlines in quotes strings and maybe it's time to question if awk is still worth it.
I don't know why you got downvoted, this is pretty much on spot without any counter indications.

This was typical elite-orientated journalism that articulated ideas to spread election talking points for Clinton. It was certainly no journalism, it was probably for rubbing some friends in Washington.
That observation doesn't really contribute to a comparison of dedicated threads and async/await, though, because the same is true of async routines.
As an Altair fan, I'm interested in your plans for future versions, if you're free to discuss those.

While composing this question I was about to ask if you support VS Code, but I see[0] that you do now.

I was also about to ask if you support disabling the 5,000-row limit, but I see[1] that you do that now, too.

So, clearly, you're doing great things with Altair.

You could say the same thing about bank accounts! People are just leasing the space for free (&c) but the law recognizes an ownership interest in the material in the account, a right to the returns, &c. Banks do have certain rights with regards to the account, as well -- that's how they make any money at all -- but it's much more granular than the situation we presently have with online accounts.

They aren’t even solving the same problem. Threads exist to use multiple CPUs while async/await are here not to waste time waiting on I/O.

I felt it was pretty accurate. The founders unfamiliar with how to raise capital ended up selling 82% of the company to a couple of Scientologists. A few years later, that ownership ended up being 100% Scientologist after the founders sold their shares off to pursue other projects.

Then they had to endure requests to join Scientology (I'm assuming because they now had enough money to donate to Scientology).
Kind of dead thread but... If the company says to you: "you can work whatever hours you want!" And then turns around and says, "oh, but if you work those unprofitable hours, we'll fire you.." then how exactly is that not restricting the hours that you work? You can't have both.
You’re right, I read it too fast as 9M units not 9B in revenue. I’m sure Apples margins on Macs are much higher than the rest of the PC industry but they’re almost certainly making less margin on them than on iPhones.

That being said, I don’t think missing on iPhones for this quarter that includes the time period right before a major release is particularly damning. If they miss NEXT quarter that would be a big problem.
Very good cherry picking. Right in your paragraph it says the standard for 'medium confidence' is that it is 'plausible'. That's the best you could do? Notice, the claim put out by the NY Times was much much stronger. It actually linked a SPECIFIC American soldier death, to a GRU bounty. Where is the evidence for that?

Perhaps as a side project, something useful just for yourself. Lots of developers scratch itches they can't scratch at their day job that way; new tech, greenfield ideas instead of maintaining someone else's garbage, etc.

And sometimes those devs go into business for themselves and realize that they don't get to spend all their time building product -- now they've got to build the marketing page and write a bunch of copy and take a ton of screenshots (of features they know they're going to change), and figure out how sales funnels work, and all the other things that go into running a business.

Building and running your own company is the fastest way to get out of pure product development I've ever seen.
Fair, but keep in mind that it's orders of magnitude we're taking about.

2 - Point it at your mail provider, say fastmail.

3 - Tell gmail to forward all your mail to your new address.

4 - Ask your friends to use your new address. Make sure your mail client uses it as the from address.

4 - <wait a little while and then>: Put a rule in your mail client to highlight (flag or colour or whatever) all messages that were forwarded from gmail. This will help you figure update people, companies, mailing lists etc.

I'm imagining a discrete system here, like a tile-based map. I haven't actually played Factorio, so I'm just assuming that's how it works (seems like it from the link a sibling post gave). As such, I'm not sure physics engine share much in common here.
In fairness, all those things are the expected outcomes of hugely profligate spending and have been seen in other economies that adopted the same policies. It's surely a bit of an open question why the USA, and to some extent other western countries, have been able to sustain such huge deficits for so long apparently in defiance of financial gravity. I think you're implying the WSJ's interest in the topic was entirely political in nature, but it's also possible they just noticed that their predictions kept not coming true and dropped it for that reason. After all, Trump promised big spending with tax decreases, with correspondingly huge deficits, and there doesn't seem to have been any negative effect of that (yet).
