I want:

- enough wealth to be retired in 5 years/buy a house/whatever

- a C-suite job with high status

- a job with a large degree of autonomy and responsibility

- to gain experience growing an engineering organization

- to gain experience shipping a great service/product

But DEFINITELY NOT revenge. Selfishly speaking, I want all the above but to do it myself and go through the journey myself. Bringing the experienced person onboard will not give me the front seat of the journey which might be selfish. But what do we live for if not to live our lives and make decisions and risks and to be accountable for them? On the VC side of course they will pick the safest route to a successful exit and return. I just think it's unfair but justifiable.
“Problematic”?
Actually, that’s why I said it!

Mebibyte comes from pedants (like myself) that say that the Mega prefix in SI means 10^6, but in computing we often take it to mean 2^20. Mebibyte is unambiguous, and if everybody used it (unlikely. I don't think either MacOs or Windows use it), then Mega would also be. Right now, when you see mega in a computing context you're not sure if it means 10^6 or 2^20, although a lot of times it doesn't even matter.
New Zealand is a state of Australia according to the Australian constitution. It's just that New Zealand thought that was a bit silly and never paid it any attention, and Australia thought that was fair enough.
Leyen failing upwards is a pretty accurate description of her political career in Germany.

She was never popular, one of her first "big ideas", as the head of the ministry for families, was to introduce DNS Internet-censorship against child pornography, which ultimately failed due to the public backlash.

Like many other German career politicians, her doctors dissertation was found to be partly plagiarized.

Her changes to the family allowances were across the board unpopular: High income couples profited the most from these changes, while middle and lower income classes lost out.

There's even an active committee of inquiry still going on into her habit of hiring external, private, consultants to do the work for her at ministries. As a response to that she had the data on her mobile phone deleted, official files illegally redacted, and other data, that could be used as evidence, straight up deleted.

For many Germans she's the definition of what's wrong with German politics because she didn't get where she is out of her own abilities, but rather as a consequence of her family having had that kind of influence in Germany for generations [0]

I found it surprising that if you have window space slightly smaller than this image, it will get scaled and get banding back on the dithered side, but only in Firefox. Chromium scaling doesn't have the same effect.
The Federal answer to states complaining that they didn't have funds to get programs running was "figure it out".

Maybe you shouldn't live in a notoriously failed state when it comes to COVID-19 management (Michigan, which outlawed the sale of garden seeds!, Vermont is the only other state to go that far), we seem to have arrived at the gravamen of your issue with not enough money being spent. My home state is doing just fine in distributing it, spent months planning and is not making excuses about not having enough money. It is calling up the National Guard now that targets of the vaccine are changing, but that was part of the plan all along. And as I previously noted, Pfizer/BioNTech approved Friday, vaccine in hand in my small city Monday morning, first front line healthcare workers vaccinated that day using one vial. Then things really got into gear.

I had the same thought (both my initial misreading, and the idea of making the joke).

I went to primary/secondary school in the United States. I feel like this joke is the sort of thing that an English teacher would say to me in response to me writing something like this (which I'm sure I did). I think part of the humor (for me, at least) is the refrain of that particular (and common) criticism :)
They could have wanted to pay that much but that does not mean that the vaccines would have been there in that quantity. Much easier to fill Israel's order at that price than Europe's at the same price or even a higher one.

You don't need to gain control of the assets. You just sell some of the stock for a profit as it rises (and only getting capital gains tax rates). This can be repeated ad infinitum assuming the underlying asset value grows indefinitely and the stock keeps splitting.

Not sure I understand your second sentence, it might be saying what I am about to write. From reading several articles on the issue, the EU seems to demand that the slow-down in production be shared equally across orders. This puts AZ in a pickle: it would then mean they are not only breach of contract with the EU but also UK. Hence, they publicly reiterate the "first come first serve" argument which resonates well in the UK media and rallies support (I think AZ is pitting EU against UK in all of this). I do not believe the "first come first serve" principle is how supply chains like this usually work though. Totally not my field of expertise, but hearsay from some friends working in supply chain management.
No, they haven't. Johnson and Johnson hasn't applied for emergency authorization yet. Assuming they do next week and all goes well it will likely be available by March.
> Windows unless I needed the C#/.Net toolchain

Unless you're working on a legacy .NET Framework application, .NET Core will happily work on Linux.
Why would you want to dev on a Windows machine though? Unless you're writing Windows code, I see no reason.
The original Macintosh was developed in 1983 and was released in 1984 with 128KB of RAM and 64 KB of ROM. In that, they packed a full windowing interface (menus, overlapping windows, multiple fonts, text edit fields, buttons, radio & check boxes, etc). Also a 2D graphics engine (including bitblit with modes), a file manager, a resource manager, a printer drivers, network support, etc, etc. All for the price of a higher end PC of the day. Most of what we consider a "real GUI" was included in the Mac's OS if a bit rudimentary.

To give you an idea how tight that is, 64KB (code in ROM) is just 12 paper pages (60 lines of 80 columns) of text. Yes, some of the code had to be stored on a boot floppy disk, but still. To say it was an amazing piece of software engineering is, IMO, an understatement.

When I saw my first Mac at the university store it was like seeing the future. That so many of my peers denigrated it as a "toy" left me mystified. Instead of buying a car with the money I saved up, I bought myself a Mac.
Plenty of people still use ETC lol. That's crypto for ya, though.

This is such a great example, because it's an obvious case of "trustless for you but none for me thanks" -- if Vitalik believed that "code is law" was better than having the ability to amend the transaction, he'd just be on ETC dealing with the mess.

If grandma's life savings gets stolen, well sucks for grandma. When it's Vitalik, well, it's time to fork the blockchain.

If you want to call that margin, it's margin with 100% collateral. It's not margin in any meaningful sense. It's like if you handed your broker a check and said you wanted to make buy a stock for the value of the check. Would the trade clear before the check? Sure. Is that margin? I really struggle to see how.

U.2 form factor drives (also NVMe protocol) can achieve higher IOPS (particularly writes) still over M.2 form factor (especially M.2 2280), with higher durability, but you'll need your own controllers which are sparse on the market for the moment. Throughput (MB/sec, not IOPS) will be about the same, but the U.2 drives can do it for longer.

U.2 means more NAND to parallelize over, more spare area (and higher overall durability), potentially larger DRAM caches, and a far larger area to dissipate heat. Plus it has all the fancy bleeding-edge features you aren't going to see on consumer-grade drives.

-- -----

The big issue with U.2 for "end user" applications like workstations is you can't get drivers from Samsung for things like the PM1733 or PM9A3 (which blow the doors off the 980 Pro, especially for writes and $/GB, plus other neat features like Fail-In-Place) unless you're an SI, in which you also co-developed the firmware. The same goes for SanDisk, KIOXIA and other makers of enterprise SSDs.

The kicker is enterprise U.2 drives are about the same $/GB as SATA drives, but being NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4. blow the doors off about everything. There's also the EDSFF, NF1 and now E.1L form factors, but U.2 is very prevalent. Enterprise SSDs are attractive as that's where the huge volume is (hence the low $/GB), but end-user support is really limited. You can use "generic drivers", but you won't see anywhere near the peak performance of the drives.

The good news is both Micron and Intel have great support for end-users, where you can get optimized drivers and updated firmware. Intel has the D7-P5510 probably hitting VARs and some retail sellers (maybe NewEgg) within about 60 days. Similar throughput to the Samsung drives, far more write IOPS (especially sustained), lower latencies, FAR more durability (with a big warranty), far more capacity, and not too bad a price (looking like ~$800USD for 3.84TB with ~7.2PB of warrantied writes over 5 years).

-- -----

My plan once Genesis Peak (Threadripper 5XXX) hits is four 3.84TB Intel D7-P5510s in RAID10, connected to a HighPoint SSD7580 PCIe 4.0 x16 controller. Figure ~$4,000 for a storage setup of ~7.3TB usable space after formatting, 26GB/sec peak writes, ~8GB/sec peak reads, with 2.8M 4K read iops, 700K 4K write iops, and ~14.3PB of warrantied write durability.
The problem is that lisp APIs tend to treat paired sequences as equal citizens, whereas PHP treats paired arrays as a special case and they're effectively a different data type. This is the same problem with how Erlang/BEAM languages treat strings as a list of character data. It's the same until it's not, and then it's decidedly not.
It’s interesting to look at the cut that these stores take. Some people seem to be under the impression that competition will drive App Store cuts to single figure percentages, but I doubt it.

I think you made the wrong correction in the article:

> Update: Thanks to gus_massa and wiml @ HackerNews for pointing out I had used associative instead of commutative.... This means that floating point arithmetic is noncommutative [i]n that A + B != B + A.

Floating-point arithmetic is commutative, but not associative. So for floating-point numbers,

A + B = B + A always, but

A + (B + C) != (A + B) + C in many cases.

The problem comes about from significant digits and rounding - A + B might round up to 1, but B + C might round down to zero, etc. The point remains that the order in which you do things actually does matter in floating-point arithmetic, but it's the order you compute the "inner parentheses," not the actual order of numbers in (e.g.) the FPU registers.

> Do you have significant equity which you retain even after your ouster?

Yes.

> In which case, I say negotiate as hard as you can for the best possible severance deal, preferably cash in hand and not equity, and then move on to your next thing. Wish them luck if you feel like it.

Interesting. I will probably negotiate a severance deal but not sure I have leverage at this moment. I'm imagining they would just laugh at it and just fire me vs giving me a good severance deal.

> In the end, remember that you are not defined by someone else's judgment of your merit and abilities. The only that matters is your view. Go start something new, and kick ass. Laugh at those guys when you roll past them on the street in your Aston Martin Victor.

Thanks for this! This is definitely my plan. And will probably roll in an Aston Martin Vantage than a Victor :)
The mac did that with a 68000 CPU and a fairly large amount of ROM, there were 8 bitters that got to roughly the same level of functionality on half that much ram & rom, with 640x256.
There's a more practical but relevant cooking problem that I haven't seen discussed - when extracting recipes from websites it's tricky to parse the actual ingredients and quantities.

For example, "1/2 cup of diced tomatoes or a can of tomatoes (preferably san marzano)". This sort of freeform text doesn't suit regex very well but also lacks substantial context clues. You'd most likely use named entity recognition which could recognize that "1/2" is a quantity, "cup" is the unit, etc. but I haven't gotten very good results yet.

Maybe I'll write up a post when I land on a solution.
> if a stock market crash triggered by this is realistic

Honestly, I don't think it is and there would be more media attention if it was. The firms that are shorting GME only have something like $50 billion AUM. Lehman Bros was around $600 billion and was a lot more integral to the markets. The only real issue would be a lack of liquidity, which isn't going to cause a crash alone.
> What’s your new position and can you negotiate better pay/equity?

I'm kind of in a weird place now with regards to my position so still trying to figure it out. Negotiate a better pay/equity is my current plan.

Every dollar you make in interest from your savings account at your credit union is $30 that someone had to pay the credit union in interest on their mortgage.

My intent with that part of the comment was that the mindset of the people in charge at the Federal level was not one of urgency. There's not big issues with administration here, there's just not vaccines available.

I'm not sure who makes the allocation decision, but the slowest part of the administration here is the Federal partnership with CSV/Walgreens for long term care facilities (the state has allocated 430,000 doses, the programs have administered 100,000). Outside of the LTCF program, ~90% of doses have been administered.

There was a 2 week period where some Walmart decided they needed to close an aisle, no one got fined, no one went to jail, blah blah blah. (Garden stores were ordered closed for a time, but that's not outlawing the sale of seeds).

The EU did not pay as much as the US — and signed the contracts much later. Pfizer is doing the rational actor thing and, given a shortage, prioritizing their highest paying clients.

There might also be verbiage in the US contract to this effect. Also, Pfizer is an American company.
It's becoming more and more clear that there's a problem with these corporately-controlled "free markets" that are neither free nor are they markets. It's time for Congress to do more than just write strongly-worded letters to large tech conglomerates hoping that these kinds of anti-consumer practices stop. It's funny (or sad) that the meme du jour is "build your own app store, bro." We need: (1) transparency and (2) accountability.

First of all, we can't have stuff getting arbitrarily censored or kicked off stores, because even though it may start with alt-right QAnon nonsense, it will lead to things like Hey, Epic, Fortnite, Robinhood ratings being scrubbed, WSB being banned, or now Element. The slippery slope is not hypothetical. It's here.

Secondly, we can't just have AAPL, GOOG, FB, etc. merely say "oops, our bad" when the shit hits the fan. People get mad, they say "oops" -- even though the app may have lost thousands of customers and reputation -- and everyone forgets the snafu ever happened. This is not okay, and as consumers we should not be okay with it. I promise you Google will release a statement saying "certain groups" on Element "used some poopoo language" and the apologists will, yet again, be totally cool with it.

(I don't feel my comment is particularly controversial, yet I'm being mass downvoted with no counter-arguments.. weird.)

If the only way for you to comply with regulations is to violate other regulations (market manipulation), you must shut down your company.

It's really quite simple.

Robinhood is like some guy driving without a license who gets pulled over by a cop and says "but I'm ineligible for a driver's license, so obtaining one would be illegal fraud, so I didn't do that". Guess what buddy, you don't get to drive.
> I still don’t understand why EU did not consider the Chinese and Russian vaccines.

Politics, that's pretty much it.

For months now people have been indoctrinated that nothing good could ever come out of China or Russia.

A lot of that facilitated by misleading headlines about how their vaccines were supposedly "rushed" and somehow disregarding approval processes, as if that wasn't happening pretty much everywhere.

A narrative that solely rests on embezzling the fact that there is no global authority on pharma approval, every country sets up their own rules.

Throw in some really sensationalized and misleading headlines about how they supposedly force people to be guinea pigs for their vaccines, and both of these vaccines have become so toxic, publicity wise, that even considering them would be a political death sentence in many Western countries.
Well sure CTO has different responsibilities. My point is that if you really care about the company you'd do whatever you can to contribute to its overall success.

It sounds like you care more about what you do specifically. If you're not getting that with a new CTO it might be best to just leave.

Greta Thunberg?
I think the parent is talking about an ideal situation in which saving accounts do actually pay off a nice interest that beats the inflation and sprinkle some extra profit on top. Not a lot but it is risk free. Isn’t the idea that banks make the money flow by circulating it around a good one? A saver who doesn’t need it now can park it in a bank and when their time to retire comes they get their actualized money plus some profit. And since the interest compounds, with a nice rate it could be both safe and profitable.

I agree that this is not feasible now but that is only becaus of the low interest. That dynamic would change if the interest is dialed up.
I think there's also some opportunity for a community of synergistic biotech entrepreneurs to thrive overall under each different company's business plans where the workers from the ventures that do not have financial success will still have their talents be known quantities to the ventures that do take off, so without failure they could jump right in and become entrepreneurial contributors at a time when good people who can hit the ground running are needed most and hard to find.
