Not really. Wayback machine has been sued for copyright infringement and according to lexisnexis: In its response to the lawsuit, the Internet Archive denies it has violated copyright laws and says its CDL program is fundamentally the same as traditional library lending and is protected by U.S. copyright law's fair use doctrine because it serves the public interest in preservation, access and research.

I would agree with Wayback's statement and what textise is doing is arguably in the public interest; maybe.

Sometimes there isn’t a dog available. Sometimes the police have to leave on a higher priority call. Sometimes the dog doesn’t alert. Sometimes your lawyer can get the dog alerting thrown out based on other factors.

What’s the risk of just letting them search? Sometimes you can be held for 90 days because the cops mistake donut frosting for meth.

This is amazing, have you thought about making the code open ? I think we all have a million questions about NLS and sentiment analysis.
This is pointless. We can see the input and output:

http://doc.replicated.cc/%5EWiki/strictmark.sm?@text

http://doc.replicated.cc/%5EWiki/strictmark.sm

So obviously an implementation was made, but whoever wrote the article didnt bother to share the implementation.
The original link to it is broken.

The original article is at https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/greed-an.... I don't know whether I read it before, but I just skimmed it now.

The takedown was at http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/2012/09/04/greed-debt-and-mat... but has moved to https://fortune.com/2012/09/04/greed-debt-and-matt-taibbi/. It is behind a paywall and I didn't read it. However I can go off your cheatsheet for a sample.

Taibbi's response to the takedown is at https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/bain-and....

Point by point.

1. Taibbi never claimed that PE firms were behind the 2008 crisis. In fact his article doesn't mention the 2008 crisis. And appropriately not since Romney exited Bain in 2000 and that crisis is not the subject of the article.

2. Taibbi's follow-up acknowledges that "Democrat-leaning" was a poor phrasing, and also his description was specifically of the Blackstone Group in the early 1990s. (The original phrasing did make that clear - read it for yourself.) And he has a point that they supported Bill Clinton in 1992, following which their chairmanm Roger Altman, left to be Clinton's Deputy Treasury Secretary.

3. When you talk about returns from PE LBOs you have to be clear about returns for whom. He enumerated multiple cases where the returns for Romney and Bain came regardless of whether the companies succeed. Whether they came for the PE funds that people invest in is a different story. And the examples that he gave are NOT downside protection.

4. Taibbi DID NOT claim that Bain Capital did LBOs in the tech sector. Go read what he wrote and verify that. Any impression to the contrary shows a lack of reading comprehension. What he DID say is that tech bubbles bring easy money, some of that money gets invested in PE companies, and with that "dry powder" they get to go shopping. But they don't go shopping for tech companies. Instead they do things like shop for toy companies and donut shops.

If you're interested in where he talks about PE firms doing LBOs of unprofitable 2-year-old tech companies, I strongly suggest that you pull out quotes of him saying that they do. You may have trouble though. He nowhere says that.

Your comment about a "poor track record of reliably saying things that are true" appears to be more appropriately applied to the criticisms of Taibbi than to Taibbi himself.
"Over leveraged" typically means you traded too much on credit in proportion to how much collateral you have, not that the trade is risky. A very large short position is reasonable for a company that is likely to go out of business.
Most of my googling is just for API and SDK references. So, yes, with something like Dash or another offline reference.
To be fair, despite the heavy criticisms, it's not clear whether the EU objectively made any major mistake. The countries ahead of them in the vaccination effort did so by writing a blank check to the pharma companies - definitely not an ideal outcome either.

EU diversified their vaccine contracts, negotiated fair prices, generously funded the manufacturing rollout, avoided vaccine nationalism between member states, equitably distributed the vaccines amongst their members and the key point - holds the manufacturers liable for possible damages.

All of those points are entirely reasonable. One could argue that EU should have paid more, but there are two counterarguments:
Firstly, it doesn't really move a needle, as both US and UK have home-front-first clauses, leaving only Israel and Arab oil producers skipping the queue. Secondly, said countries could just amend their contracts, bid up the price, and everyone is back at square one.

Date of contract signing doesn't really matter either - a credible commitment to massive orders has been there from the very beginning.

European Medical Agency gets a lot of undeserved flak for being slow and bureaucratic. Pfizer was approved mere 10 days later than in the US, Moderna got approved earlier than in the UK, and now AstraZeneca earlier than in the US. Allegedly, even those slippages were caused by the companies simply prioritizing their US/UK approvals.

Partially, EU got unlucky - Sanofi vaccine flopped, AZ plant has technical problems, Curevac got delayed. In a world where Pfizer and AZ wouldn't underdeliver by an order of magnitude, EU plan would be praised and touted as a gold standard.
Partially, EU was always fighting an uphill battle - the corporations that cleared the approvals simply care more about their image in the US/UK, don't like to face competent regulators, and really dislike being liable. Afaik, they face no liability in US and Israel.

That being said, absent the EU policy, I'm quite confident that small countries like Latvia, Slovenia or Finland would end up with the short end of the stick.
Yes definitely, it would have been a total shitstorm.

I think that shitstorm is preferable to allowing brokers to manipulate asset prices to protect themselves.
The meaning of and technology needed to build a “basic web app” is in a continual state of evolution. Therefore, googling is not so much required due to a lack of knowledge but rather due to that this knowledge needs to be continually kept up to date.
Yes, but that’s not more ponzi than e.g. Snapchat which expected to never make money in its filing. When you buy it, you expect to sell it to a bigger fool, or for a miracle. GameStop is the same; they are both doomed, and will be worth 0 sooner or later unless a miracle happens.

The only reasonable valuation for either is (assets-liabilities), or liquidation value. All other value is based on a belief something will happen. In GameStop, it’s the belief that there are buyers of last resort who would pay almost any price - which is likely true for some of the shorts. Whether it is 1% or 10% or 100% is what these people are betting on.

And the call from industry to pause trading to regroup against Reddit indicates it’s likely a lot more than 1%
SWE interviews (at FAANGs at least) don’t care about library specifics though. As long as you know the syntax and how to write algos/data structures, you can make it through.

There is a strong argument that being good at that isn’t required for most SWEs (including at FAANG), but it is something that having library/framework references doesn’t really help with.
It's certainly not uncoordinated - the coordinated squeeze attempt is literally the whole advertised point!

I'm just amused that the motives of the folks making huge money off of this are going largely unexamined. If you wanted to talk me into buying Gamestop now, you'd have to convince me that it's not just a way of cashing yourself out.

(I also think it's a little dirty, at best, for any experienced investor to be talking newcomers in to buying this shit at this point.)
That makes sense, but it looks like another annoying decision, like the cookie banners.
No one needs to be perfect at a skill before they can enable others. Often, it's just about sharing how you got to the place you are now, patience, and exploring new ways to learn emotional intelligence together.
Right??? This morning GME was ahead, AMC overtook GME in the afternoon.
It's very tempting to deal with interest that's for sure, but we have to sacrifice for the greater good. We already see around us what's happening due to parasitic economic practices.
A week ago WSB had 2M subscribers (https://subredditstats.com/r/wallstreetbets), whereas today they have 6M subscribers. The large majority of the people involved here haven't been WSB types for more than a few days, and it seems safe to assume they're new to the financial scene.
With respect, those are all half a century ago. Corporate pharmaceutical companies are treating out hundreds of new solutions a year. Again, I feel that system is fairly corrupt and mismanaged. I’m not trying to defend it. But practically speaking it seems to be doing an immensely better job these days than government sectors.
Now do mentions per minute (or most granular interval possible) correlated with price :)
That's a lot of very specific claims with no corroborating details, to the point I wondered whether it's real at all.

Many thanks, kind and helpful mods.
> Also, in science there are federal grants, such as SBIR, which can be for even more (1M), are non-dilutive, and are very gettable.

Yeah, this was my initial reaction: but tech transfer $$ is stupid easy to get, especially as a follow-up to a previously funded grant.... who's the market?

Not that I really care, since it's not my money and I'm far from an expert on such things, but "SBIRs and University innovation offices with preferential terms get all the good ideas and leave us with the bottom barrel shit" seems like a pretty big source of risk for this fellowship :/

I'm guessing the network provided by this program is way more effective than what you'd get from a typical university's innovation/tech transfer office, so maybe I'm wrong. But in some sense my evaluation of this program would be that I'm trading a decent sized chunk of the company for access to investors and advisors. Which, I guess, isn't necessarily a bad trade. But I figure this is how most people with access to grant money will think about it.
> How does one actually _get_ a lawyer on the scene?

General advice for the US here, as provided by a lawyer friend after a beer or two pre-Covid.

First, you have to know if you are in custody. This is not as easy as you may think[1].

You say: "Am I being detained? Am I free to go?"

If yes, leave, and find a lawyer. If the answer is no (or non-committal), you are under custody of the police. You will likely be forced to disclose your name but that and maybe your address should be what you disclose[2].

Now you need to make it clear that you are invoking your right to remain silent. Current jurisprudence around Miranda[3] makes it clear that is something you must actively invoke. It is not enough to remain silent, that will not stop an interrogation.

You say: "I will not answer any questions until I have a lawyer present".

Those two statements + your name are all you say. That is it.

As far as getting a lawyer, you'll have an opportunity to contact one after the interview has been stopped. If you need a public defender you can ask for one at that time but you'll likely be better off contacting your state bar association and asking for a referral.

Yes I can and I did after the enyojs framework went completely bye-bye and replaced with an entirely different framework called enact based not on enyo but on react! It reminded me of the time Qualcomm decided to one day purge all brew documents from their website. Google is fickle. The truth is in the source code of whatever you’re working with.
Novelty is overrated due to a selection bias - it implicitly tends to mean "novel and at least good for a change of pace".

Adding in a feature that say previous winners become the new boss and losers get a bonus inheritance from their prior run could be hailed as novel and doing good things for pace.

Having to randomly roll 10 dice x 365.25x days x 18 years for events to create your starting character would be very novel. Especially if it is a commom occurance that all four players to die before turn zero due to childhood disasters resulting in the winner being the one who lived the longest at eight years old before dying of cancer would be terrible to actually play.
Based on their examples:

* Consistent UI performance under load. Not the same as "goes faster", just "doesn't slow down".

* More efficient resource/CPU utilization.

* Smarter loading of resources (kind of a sub point of 1)

I think they're trying to say it's "consistently not-slow and efficient with resources". Does "fast" express that well? To grandma, sure. To a technical audience, no.

"Don't talk to the police" is a bit of a slogan, rather than really saying zero word when you can help.

I'll be happy to provide the police with any information as long as I'm under the advisement of a lawyer.

I'll willingly testify in a court.

The problem is talking to the police directly by myself, as the police naturally see all related people as suspects. You are a witness in your own eyes; you are a suspect in theirs.
I noticed that I had a typo in my command.

You're not talking to the cops. So either, nothing happens, or they arrest you.

If they arrest you, you inform them you request counsel. That's the Sixth Amendment. Invoking the Fifth doesn't get you a lawyer, but saying you request a public defender will speed things up.
Vast majority of documentation and even the websites promoting most web related libraries are autogenerated from git. Run a bash script with a bunch of `git clone` on an Earth based server and and ship the disk image, latency be damned.

MUST asset management unloaded a billion dollar long position in GME this week. It was roughly 3 million shares. GME has been trading over 25x that volume daily all week.

If someone is telling you that Melvin is still in their position critically ask why. One explanation is that they are ignorant another is they gain in some way from that narrative.

You are mischaracterized the situation to make your point. Facebook's infrastructure is all private and not at all unique. The interconnections are the Internet. Anyone can compete with Facebook. You can't create your own telephone poles or run your own railways but you can certainly do everything that Facebook is doing.

As for the businesses that rely on it -- they choose to use that platform, for free, knowing exactly what they're getting into. There are thousands of times more businesses that do not rely on Facebook than those that do. Facebook is not some key infrastructure; if it all went away tomorrow it's a minor inconvenience at worst.
I'm sorry you feel that way -- we did discuss this when deciding what to call it, but ultimately decided that what the community we aim to create is much closer to a fellowship and peer group of scientists than a VC fund.

We're optimizing how we run things to build a community of scientists over maximizing our financial returns. We care most about about inspiring scientists to pursue translational research with greater resources and team coordination than they may find in a more traditional pathway.
I don't see procurement as the main issue. The EU ordered around 2.3 billion doses, for 450 million inhabitants. Quantity wise, that's more than enough.

They did screw up distrbution so, royaly. And with distribution being the responsbility of the member states, well go figure. This contract has its defiencies, I really hate it that there are n consequences when delivery schedules aren't met. And how delivery schedules will be defined.

But it seems they changed the domain
My point is that a less general compiler can yield better SIMD code for a particular domain, and be easier to use for a particular domain. And I gave a concrete illustration (NN-512) to support that claim

Consider NN-512 (less general) versus Halide (more general). Imagine how hard it would be to make Halide generate the programs that NN-512 generates. It would be a very challenging problem
oneAPI uses DPC++ (Data-Parallel C++), which is pretty much just SYCL, which itself is a C++ library on top of OpenCL.

From my understanding, the Khronos group realized OpenCL 2.x was much too complicated so vendors just weren’t implementing it, or only implementing parts of it, so they came up with OpenCL 3.0 which is slimmed-down and much more modular. It’s hard to say how much adoption it’ll get, but with Intel focused on DPC++ and oneAPI now, there will definitely be more numerical software coming out in the next few years that compiles down to and runs on OpenCL.

For example, Intel engineers are building a numpy clone on top of DPC++, so unlike regular numpy it’ll take advantage of multiple CPU cores: https://github.com/IntelPython/dpnp
Working Better with an Online Whiteboard
I'd reckon because a private company is getting paid to manufacture and sell the vaccines, at "Cost of Goods" initially, then at a profit after an agreed period, in exchange for funding and, eventually more profits. These are pre-orders for a vaccine, and the contract has a section on how it will be funded. AstraZeneca is under no obligation to not do business with anyone else (provided they can meet their contractual obligations).

If the both the UK and the EU wanted a million doses each and AZ has the capacity to manufacture 5 million, then nothing stops them from entering into other agreements with countries in Africa, South America, or Oceania.

They probably overestimated their capacity and are now pushing back on deadlines. I don't have much to criticise AZ for on that since we've all been there, but you can't tell a paying customer that you have other customers that paid you first, when you signed a contract agreeing to meeting certain deadlines. It simply does not matter. Did AstraZeneca lie in their negotiations regarding their capacity? Let's also remember that this was likely brought up when discussing the funding for manufacturing sites in Europe and the UK.

That you can imagine some convoluted scenario where a skill could be employed does not mean it is an efficient use of your time to develop that skill, particularly when that scenario is easily avoidable.
This narrative that GameStop is actually a good company and it's turning around despite all the short interest is pure bologna. Worse, it's intentionally misleading and often espoused by people who have a financial interest in the company. It's crazy to see people in this forum, who are typically tech forward, hype up the business model of selling physical copies of video games.
"public out on the street or with my lawyer present."

Isn't a large reason why one shouldn't talk to the police because they may intentionally misconstrue what you say? Being in public won't solve that, hence the lawyer bit.

It's a good point, I take it to mean search for how to use or do something, even as google is becoming worse at finding things, it's still often waaay better than the search functionality available on the websites of many libraries and utilities.

So yeah, I guess I take it to also mean searching through local documentation, but I know that's maybe not what was meant.
It obviously doesn't matter that much if you can or can't. We all google all day long.

But through my career at various times I've been able to say yes, usually after spending multiple years on a project and the platform/tech its built with.

Speaks to the really enjoyable side effect of productivity and unencumbered expressiveness that comes with being immersed in a platform or technology for a longer period or time.
The problem with a conscience is that it gives you a tell, that others without one can use against you when they're in need of a scapegoat.

As someone once told me when I lamented that I don't talk to a certain person more often, they stopped me and pointed out that the phone system works in both directions. There are two people not talking to each other, not just me.

Dick participated, he could have blown the whistle, and he didn't, so he deserves a share of the guilt. He is not innocent. But if you didn't build the house of cards, then it's not your fault, it's the group's fault. If you colluded to remove people who would have said something, then you get more of a share of the blame. Anyone could have blown the whistle, not just you. Even if it's obvious that you are the most likely whistleblower, there could have been others. (And if you were the most obvious, you can't anonymously tip someone off because everyone will know it's you, so you're doubly screwed.)

One of the things slimeballs have intuited for millenia is that if you really believe something crazy, nobody is going to pick up that you're lying because you believe it. You've lied to yourself, and then fastidiously avoided looking at the lie so that you can maintain your innocence, and your profit stream. You're guilty as sin, with extra sins piled on top.
Yeah solved with the real killer still out there.
