Contrary to popular belief, many growth stocks begin their periods of greatest growth at a time when they have reached an all-time high . This was true of TSLA in April, 2013 and NVDA in April, 2016 (No claim on the significance of April is implied) This observation, along with other technical AND fundamental screening techniques may at least be used to generate a short-list of candidated securities deemed more likely to succeed as investments than others. Yet, none of this negates the responsibility to follow sound portfolio management practices.

> That doesn't indicate success.

Of course it does not, but it certainly is not a good argument for failure either.
Gekokujō doesn't refer to Japanese corporate culture at all, but rather the attempted coups and going rogue by junior officers in the Japanese military of the 1920s and 1930s (for example, conquering Manchuria against orders of the senior officers).
Sorry, the previous reply suggested it was on row_id, time I thought, anyway. I think the question is why should row_id be unique? What looks it up by row_id? And can they look it up by user_id/time instead? It may be impossible. On the other hand, if row_id is really what you're searching by, not by time, then just use our partitioning on row_id, assuming it's a bigint or something like that, you can just partition on that...
L1 jobs explicitly don't need to be advertised because there is no requirement to show that no Americans were able to be hired. This lawsuit doesn't target you.
Good question. I'd be fine if that account stopped storing mail as long as the forwarding kept working.
You really really should use if COMMAND logic, in the event that all you care about is zero or non-zero result. I find it easier to follow for shell control flow.

It also works for shell functions.
The extra expenses in Energiewiende were likely because of hiring 3x more consultants.
When you see one of those "behind the scenes" comparisons of a modern superhero movie with what's shot "live" and what's composited in later, you realize how much of it really is a fancy "cartoon". So much of what you see is animated in some fashion that the main difference between that and something billed as "animation" is the art style and toolset.
Drugs have been illegal in the US for a long time. They are still here and, as you noted, usage is going up for some things. The "war on drugs" is over. Drugs won.

Other countries practice "harm reduction" while the US is still trying to punish people for their "moral failings".
I'm very privileged to have gotten 12 months paternity leave, even in Sweden that is a bit unusual but not unheard of. I had 7 months at 70% pay financed from the goverment, so I had to pay a lot and it was a bit risky. In the end my girl got a better job because of the time I spent with my daughter, and I had a wonderfull time.

So for me personally getting those 12 weeks alone with the child would be worth every penny, and can be very liberating for your wife, but the first two months were hard on me. Good luck, what ever you decide.

I've watched what ten years of meth can do to a person, it's terrible, he graduated college, built and sold his first company, now he's independently wealthy, bought a house, and is starting a second company.

And I don't mean Adderall I mean meth, he has a Desoxyn prescription and it's pure meth, not the most common prescription for ADHD but perhaps it should be.

So do you think legalizing amphetamines would improve outcomes or not? I know which side of the fence I'm on.
Is this a serious comment? First, skimming Linkedin is hardly an accurate way to see the racial makeup of a company. Second, Facebook has offices all over the world. Third, and most importantly, you know Chinese Americans exist, right?

Maybe his take is after the USA didn't manage to contain an epidemic, used its power to steal medical equipment from other countries, developed a marvelous vaccine that will sell at a high price for other countries after vaccinating itself.

That's not correct. If you delete things they are actually deleted, though it does take a few months to be gone from everywhere. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19965615, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12980863, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19809320, etc)

Set a reminder every 3 or 6 months to use Google Takeout. Download a full copy of your data to a hard drive in your local possession.

If you’re really paranoid, download a 2nd copy and put it on a hard drive that you then leave unplugged from all computers and the internet until the next time.

Simple solution for anyone with broadband, and then if you ever lost your cloud data due to subscription lapsing or inactivity you have 1-2 local copies for you or your family.
I've always told my relatives to get a huge hard drive, backblaze for backup, and stick all their photos on their own computer. If they want to use the cloud for convenience that's fine, but if the service decides to cancel your account you should always have another place with your data.

My wife currently has a 2TB nvme ssd in her Thinkpad laptop. Around 1TB of that is pictures and photos.
> Compilation is an embarrassingly parallel task: if you've got N cores, you can use N cores and get a linear speedup for every expansion in N you are offered.

Somebody should let the Javascript world know that. Both Webpack and TypeScript are single threaded by default and it's a pain in the ass to get them to use more threads. So my 12 core CPU mostly sits around twiddling it's thumbs while I compile code for work.
Would normal maintenance have prevented this? My understanding from the initial reports is that they were unable to identify any flaw or anomaly in the steel cable that snapped that would have indicated the problem ahead of time, and that it simply wasn't designed to tolerate a failure of that nature. Sounds like a freak accident to me.
Did anybody tell FAST?
I would say it's more to assert or, if you are skeptical, present, in good faith that your business model or strategy isn't H1-B employee arbitrage. I.e. for the purpose of this scenario, in a holistic sense, Facebook doesn't avoid hiring Americans.

So like, the government says facebook had a bunch of PERM positions that they sandbagged recruiting for to Americans. But then,
> while comparable positions at Facebook that were advertised on its careers website during a similar time period typically attracted 100 or more applicants each.

Are these...the same positions? How does facebook's hiring process work?
Is there actually any discrete limit to the 'slots' on the careers website? Do they have 2500 listings for software engineers, or just like, everyone applies, we are looking to hire ~2000 people this year.

I can see where the government is probably right in saying "you did it wrong".
But if you are facebook, and the hiring strategy is honestly:

* Hiring for the 'American' positions is only limited by the company finding the applicant skilled enough. There is no numerical cap.

* Only foreign applicants apply to a discrete, government-limited pool of PERM positions. This way you don't waste the PERM positions on Americans, who can apply to you nigh-unlimited pool of 'American' positions.

* Starting salary for everyone is the same ($156k)

I could certainly see that the government's way of interpreting your 'insidious hiring program' is flat-footed to the point of being wrong.
I see, thanks!

Yeah if you see my comment below I think really it should always be explicit both about whether you used the fewest components and (separately) about whether you used the fewest NAND gates. Currently it seems like you sometimes only get told about one or the other...
I definitely plan to get out if A) by next year I'm not at least making $180k or B) find more interesting work here. Unfortunately, a lot of the work in Austin / other parts of the country seems sort of bland. In NYC you can work for AI companies, urban automated farming companies, fintech and much more. If taxes go up more, I'll get tired of it and do something else.
That has to be why they call it office 365.
Congratulations! As a long time fan of PostgREST I love seeing a well thought out product take flight and support their community at the same time by openly hiring key open source members who have done great work.
I think the fact that she had a huge salary is why she feels comfortable doing this. The average person needs their job to pay the bills so they don't want to rock the boat. She's already set for life so she doesn't care who she offends because getting fired is not a big deal for her.
Yes, It sucks big time.

I still don't understand why is it so hard to have some real time conversation in comment section in medium.

I guess many of the content is still good. I would occasionally use if I land on article from google search.
1) start a fresh SBCL

2) LOAD your code

3) specify a toplevel function (aka 'entry point') and let it be executable -> SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE

Result: a standalone executables which starts up with the toplevel function you have specified
There are plenty of doctors on H1Bs. The Midwest is full of them and they command high salaries. At any rate, different job categories can have different requirements. I know soccer coaches that are H1Bs. These are coaches who train elite junior teams for example. Musicians, theatre all works the same way.
Agreed, shill isn't the right word to use. Fan, cultist, or zealot would be more in line (depending on the desired impact and tone of the expression)
I disagree.

I compile a lot. Every day. Almost daily in Java, Objective C, and C++ (Yes, I work actively on all three languages these months).

90% of the time I compile one file (the one I just changed) and then I link. Linking is not parallel and it takes about 4-15 seconds (dep. on the project/lang.).

I use an i9 with 8 cores, but I suspect that a CPU with fewer cores, that go really fast for seconds before throttling would be quite good for most of what I do during the day. Including testing+debugging the executable.

Recompiling everything takes minutes. It happens maybe once per hour, and I often combine the recompile with a coffee-break. So since it happens rarely it doesn't matter if that takes 0.5-5 minutes (dep. on project).

I don't mind waiting for the recompile, but I hate changing a few lines, compiling, waiting for 20 seconds, and then testing. I find that hose medium length waits destroy flow and creativity during the day.

I would definitely prefer fast single-file compilation + linking + testing, over fast full project recompiles.

In summary, I think these M1 devices will actually be great for developers using compiled languages.
And that it seems absurd for places like Facebook to say that when they reject so many applications from talented developers.

It isn't absurd at all. Facebook is one of the companies doing this the right way. Facebook interviews H1-B candidates in exactly the same way it interviews American citizens, and they pay the same to H1-Bs and American citizens in the same role. When they reject an American candidate, it's because they don't think that candidate is sufficiently skilled, not because they want to hire a foreigner with the same skills for cheaper.
Kind of challenging to focus with the whole screen flipping; maybe I'll get used to it!

> ignoring dividends

Well, this is a bit of an unfair premise :) the whole point of equity is that it is a claim on a company's future profits, and companies return profits either via directly via dividends or indirectly via buybacks (which push up the value of existing stockowner's holdings). It's easy to forget this in startup land, where most companies are unprofitable and thus have no profits to distribute.
While I would normally agree with you, Google has advertised unlimited, free storage forever for things like photos and email. They should not have made that promise and I understand why they are breaking the promise now, but if you break a promise it seems reasonable for people to be irate about it.
It would be unbearable to watch Bad Boys for Life in low quality streaming 4K. You need the fidelity of 4K Blu-Ray to really appreciate the fine nuances of the cinematography and acting.
So it's a faulty and discriminatory service then.
If you just want the photos printed, a printing service will be much cheaper. You're paying a lot for the privilege of being able to print high quality photos in your own home.
FTA:

"The complaint also alleges that Facebook sought to channel jobs to temporary visa holders at the expense of U.S. workers by failing to advertise those vacancies on its careers website, requiring applicants to apply by physical mail only, and refusing to consider any U.S. workers who applied for those positions."
Obligatory: https://xkcd.com/1150/
But why would they choose this incredibly specific set of numbers? If you can influence the draw, why influence it in the only way that riles up every human looking at the result? Why not just have it pick something that looks random?
Such a silly argument. An M1 Mac embarrasses no one but prior Macbooks, as it only runs OS X. There is no useful comparison to Windows or Linux. It's as asinine as comparing a mobile phone performance to a desktop PC.
Meaning is in the eye of beholder.
Usage of surface mount and fewer but more integrated ICs are isn't what I would consider modern. Modern designs use those things, sure, but the technology and practice is not modern. It's actually pretty dated. Maybe not as-dated as a through-hole and discrete component design, but certainly not exclusive to recent (read: modern) designs.
Unironically, thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I like to collect anecdotes about the ineffectiveness of central planning compared to markets. Not a free market fundamentalist, but what they do well, they do very well.
If 32 bit devs wrote off the platform, good riddance to them.
It seems like waking up all the dormant virus at once could cause some serious problems, especially if ART isn't 100% effective. Is this an actual concern, does it not happen, or is it just not an issue in practice?
I wouldn't necessarily put them on equal footing. One likely had the editorial review of many eyes, while the other was a more personal, empathetic message.
That is correct, there are a lot of things as well as incomplete features in the first versions of bitcoin that were deprecated by the open source community, some of it while in ongoing communication with Satoshi Nakamoto. One of the strengths of this asset class is that it has no static limitations, while any improvements to its core concept must reach overwhelming consensus otherwise it debilitates the entire system.

The amendment ratification process has a long lead time, even when it is not politicized. The current Taproot and Schnoor amendments actually improve the "electronic cash" feature set, and has signaling consensus already but they must signal for I think 6-12 months before the nodes start updating their software. Hopefully wallets and exchanges use this time to implement the technology as default for the users (but they won't, human nature)
Yeah, "market forces". Because they don't all just charge $125 right now per flight and not give a fuck.
Thank you very much! I don't see the feedback as negative, as what I've seen so far has been 95% overwhelmingly positive. My thesis has proven true - this tool is helping people. While HN might not be the most appropriate audience, I'm still grateful for the comments made here. Always good to see things from different perspective.

As for your points:

1) Trading is a game of probabilities and risk management. None of the best traders I know are trying to predict anything. They are merely reacting to situations where they have calculated advantage. They know their edge, they know their odds, and they are placing their bets when it's skewed in their favor.

2) For most retail trading styles and portfolio sizes, real trades will have an impact, but not significant enough for it to worry about too much. Unless asset your're trading is really illiquid.

You don't buy stocks because the company "makes money" you buy stocks because the expectation is that they will make more money in the future than they are now.

Also, stocks don't really produce cash flow either - A dividend drops the price of each stock by the equivelent amount. So if you get a 3% dividend a year, the stock price is dropping by the same amount.

I will say, it is easier to quantify that Apple/Google/other company is in an industry and makes things, and has revenue/expense to look at and thats why they are worth xyz today. I can't explain why bitcoin goes up or down. (other than whale buys a bunch, so the sheep follow)
I chose FastMail + domain (standard plan, one user) after spending way too long weighing all the provider options this year; so far it's been great for me (email only, files/data went elsewhere).

The hardest part is dealing with all the websites who (a) don't let you change your email, (b) require you to contact Support to change your email, or (c) break when you try to change your email. FastMail migrated everything (contacts too) from GMail with one click and set up an IMAP poller against it while you work on the long road to convert. $0.02

Edit: just to cover my bases, a 10-year registration of the domain was < $100 USD at Namesilo.
I'm not really buying that. You can limit ram access but even at a single core i7 you're going to have better JS performance than some i3 from 10 years ago.

Hypervisor / virtualization tech should mean you get very close to actual host OS performance. Otherwise this whole container thing wouldn't work so hot?
It's interesting to consider the counterfactual of what would have happened if Germany had gone for more nuclear power rather than on renewables.

It's been examined here :

https://environmentalprogress.org/big-news/2018/9/11/califor...

Quotes of notes:

In 2017, Germany generated 37 percent of its electricity from non-carbon sources.[1] In pursuing the Energiewende, Germany will have invested $580 billion in renewable energy and storage by 2025.

If Germany had invested in nuclear instead, it could have built 46 1.6 GW EPR reactors at the $12.5 billion per reactor cost of the U.K.’s Hinkley Point C. German companies assisted with the design of the EPR and the reactor was explicitly planned to meet the strictest European regulations.

With 46 EPRs operating at 90 percent capacity factor, Germany could first eliminate all coal, gas, and biomass electricity, then make up for today’s 150 terawatt-hours per year of wind and solar from its renewables investment, all while exporting 100 terawatt-hours of electricity to its neighbors (double 2017’s actual exports). Finally, with the remaining 133 terawatt-hours, Germany could decarbonize its entire light vehicle fleet including all 45 million of its passenger vehicles.[2]
This is speculation, but I wonder if this is not the outcome of legal compliance efforts with respect to defined data retention periods in various pieces of consumer privacy legislation over the last few years.

From Recital 39 of the GDPR:

"This requires, in particular, ensuring that the period for which the personal data are stored is limited to a strict minimum. Personal data should be processed only if the purpose of the processing could not reasonably be fulfilled by other means. In order to ensure that the personal data are not kept longer than necessary, time limits should be established by the controller for erasure or for a periodic review."

In the context of F500, I've seen compliance efforts around this that have mandated deletion in the case of inactivity for consumer applications that most people would have reasonably assumed would have been kept around even if they didn't log in.

This is hinted at in the article "...to better align with common practices across the industry, the company said on Wednesday." And if we're going to take a cynical view, wouldn't it be that Google would never delete user data (the source of their revenue) unless they absolutely had to?
They promised 1GB, had a counter that slowly increased and thens settled at 15GB, as I remember.
I've had same desire for a lightweight, fanless laptop for many years, also had (and still have and use) an Asus ux305, which I used for Linux development.

My main use machine now and for last couple years has been a Google Pixelbook. Lightweight (2.4 lbs) and fanless, solid 8+ hours on a charge, great for general use on chromeos, okay for Linux with built-in Crostini container.

I've had an iPad, but have never had any other Apple product. I've been pretty much anti-Apple since 1979, when as a 15-year-old I bought a Radio Shack TRS-80 over the much more expensive and glitzier Apple IIe.

I now have a Macbook Air M1 on order. We'll see how it goes. I'm sensitive to weight, prefer very light laptops. At 2.9 lbs it will be a noticeable step back from the ux305 (2.6 lbs) and Pixelbook (2.4 lbs). If I end up not bonding with the Macbook I plan to sell it; Apple's generally high resale value is a factor in giving the M1 a try.

@cutemonster

Yes, they could do that, and of course, in that case, my eyes would be on it and they would only be able to ask for things pertinent to the case, which likely means all corporate accounts, not dig through personal accounts.

Them being unable to take the actual device means that they'd have to play by the rules.
I have seen large database heavy apps. They are the cleanest I've ever worked with. I've had no trouble composing SQL. I can't think of one example where this has been an issue. You need to rely on views, functions and tables to store your business rules and look up the rules.

The big down side I see is the learning curve. Writing business logic in the database is not easy and not easy to maintain. It can take half a day to grow a large function. Even longer to debug sometimes. But you learn to structure things well.
I disagree. In one thread she responds with tweets such as: "“I’m sick of this framing. Tired of it. ", "Again. UNBELIEVABLE. , "tell your fanboys to stop trolling me". Basically she was telling Lecun he's an idiot of not agreeing with her. And pretty much everyone else who is not agreeing with her.

Did you see Jeff Dean's email they just added to the article? Not surprisingly, she is doing the same thing. The reviewers are not agreeing with her and she is shocked how someone dares to reject her paper. She starts making demands to reveal who that was and sends an email to the Women AI list like it's some racist attack against her because she is a woman and black researcher. That's a toxic behavior of a very arrogant researcher. She clearly expects to get some preferential treatment because she is a big shot researcher or she just thinks she is smarter than everyone else. The irony.
I think you're just misunderstanding the terminology. An org chart is a diagram that shows the connection between each manager and the people they directly manage. When you don't know who someone's direct manager will be, they don't have a "place on the org chart" yet.
