Another word for blame is 'responsibility'.

In a political organization, it's good to take responsibility for something, but bad to blame. A generous interpretation of that is that the person/group who made the decision should raise their own hand, and that it's a faux pas for others to point them out.

In a healthy one, you can recognize it's the same thing, and the important thing is how you respond to it (i.e., it's important to understand the responsible party so you can understand the reasons/motivations for the action, and accept them or address them).
We have a project at UC Berkeley for CS 61B (undergrad data structures) called "Gitlet", where we need to make a git implementation in Java. Was super fun!

> One thing I'd have HN consider though is that the peer review process was never intended as a sufficiently strong filter to ensure that bad science was never published in the first place.

In addition, in most fields of science, refereeing is also not meant to guarantee correctness -- even good research can turn out to be wrong, and conversely some mistakes are very instructive. I think it's generally more accurate to view published journal articles as part of an on-going conversation, rather than as a lasting record of scientific truth [0]. This is not to say that scientists should not do the best they can to ascertain correctness, nor that they should not look for alternate explanations. But one should look at published work as what it is -- the best one can conclude after X years of work (whatever X is).

[0] Unfortunately, it's often hard for outsiders to jump into these conversations, i part because journal papers are almost invariably aimed at others who are already know the context. But that's a discussion for another time.
What is Polymarket doing in the insurance space? Didn't see anything along those lines on their site. I've previously encountered https://etherisc.com in passing, but it's not clear that they have a plan to address the hard parts, particularly leverage/capitalization. I'll also mention/disclose that my current employer, https://ledgerinvesting.com, is doing some cool stuff in the direction of decentralized insurance.

This is not so unusual, having successful capitalist economies under dictaorships. Chile under Pinochet, Iran under Ayatollahs, Russia under Putin and more than a few others past and present. China's government isn't so much communist as it is dynastic, just as Russia' s government it Czarist.

> It doesn't work like this because deceiving people is good for business.

I think it is a bit more nuanced than that. Business isn’t purely about making money, it is about exchange of value.

It doesn’t work like that because people don’t think Adobe products provide the value Adobe wants to charge for.

If adobe credibly believed that their annual plan for their products was worth what they’re charging, they would not hide the pricing.

So “it doesn’t work like this because deceiving people is good for” _accumulating capital_.

This is happening a lot.

The Burning Man organization used a dark pattern to attempt to withhold ticket refunds last year.

The burning man org made refunds something you had to request, then sign in, and opt out again in or lose all of it.

They increased the minimum amount you could donate during the refund period and said the money was to “save” the event.

Then they turned around and applied for the max PPP loans. [1] https://www.burn.life/blog/interview-with-the-ceo-of-burning...

WinRed, a political organization in support of the former president, used a series of increasingly deceptive interface patterns that have provably awful publicly disclosed refund rates. They also used increasingly deceptive interface methods and emotional statements to sell the idea. [2] https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/03/us/politics/trump-donatio...

If anything Adobe should be regarded for only using deceptive financial practices and not trying to sell some sad story if we don’t give it to them.
Q42020 wasnt great, but for the year only two of their segments were down in revenue, the IOT group and the PSG group (looks like FPGA type stuff). Those were also two of the three smallest groups.

I dont think Intel is necessarily going to have an easy next few years, but they are still a massive company who is growing every year.

An event like this, or anything else with a significant impact on food production is something many people should be absolutely prepared for.

Tesla with a 2% market share in the US, is valued more than Toyota, Volkswagen, Daimler, General Motors, and BMW combined (40% of the domestic market).

Toyota makes about $2,500 profit for every car sold. Tesla would need to make $50,000 per unit sold on average, or basically 100% profit on a Model 3, to justify the market cap.

Ok, I re-read your command, and realized you’re doing ‘checkout’ minus minus period (to be explicit).

Honestly it had never even occurred to me to use the period there, but it does work :) I always used it for single files.

As we said in other comments, that’s why they introduced ‘restore’.

But, if you’re looking to reset all changes, in every file back to the state of the HEAD, then I believe ’git reset —hard’ would be the appropriate tool!
Legally, companies can do things like this. But I think it's a sure way to spread negative image, and never got those users again.

They should think and act as building services to help the users, rather than extracting money. Even though part of a business is extracting money.

> if a debt goes to collections that ends up on your credit report. It's not like you can just ignore it forever.

I obviously don't endorse this, but in the US you absolutely can ignore it forever as long as it isn't student loan debt. Anything else large enough to sue for can be discharged through bankruptcy (which is comically simple in some states), and debts below that[1] will fall off your report after 7 years.

Your credit will tank for a bit, of course, but otherwise there are no real consequences.

1. I think FICO even has a minimum amount for negative items and doesn't consider medical debt at all, but don't quote me on that.
No billionaire is hiding his cash under a mattress. Investment assets typically compound at 4% above inflation with zero effort by the investor.

Pg completely ignores the zero effort compounding of wealth and pretends that the investors wealth will be "reduced" by 45% and that too over 60 years!

He forgets to state by how much the zero effort investors assets inflate exponentially in 60 years! If he thought he was making a case against wealth tax, he failed hard!

Also, its really silly of you to assume I don't understand algebra! I thought that pgs article was obviously ridiculous on its face. Clearly, it wasn't obvious to everyone.

Very interesting seeing this here, I see this on Twitter mainly from a specific account.
Why not? I've done it. It's perfectly legal. And mostly clear in terms of repercussions (other than old debts being resurrected far longer than they're supposed to). I walked away with no medical debt from when I was young and desperately poor. And I'm glad I did.
Well, the 0$/dyno pricing on Heroku for free projects beats that easily. When Redhat OpenShift threw us out, Heroku was the best place left for free perl hosting. Lots of good places for static hosting, mostly GitHub Pages, but dynamic Heroku is still the place to go.

That is the wrong price.

The annual prepaid amount is different from the annual, paid monthly price.
That doesn't really explain it. I signed a 1-year lease with my landlord because it lets him amortize the expense and work of getting a new tenant. But this is cloud-based software. The "annual basis" thing is arbitrary, just a way of extracting money from people even when they aren't using the software.

Would you have put Google and Facebook in this group when they weren't profitable? You are missing something - many companies have great long term economics even if they are losing money right now. Slack (if still independent) could easily be profitable - they just have to spend less growth (ie, largely they could cut their sales and marketing dramatically, along with other items). Snapchat the same, Pinterest the same. Some of the others I believe you might by and large correct. The general statement that lots of companies are giving away dollar bills for $0.80 isn't right.

They already have a version of Net Neutrality for brokers: reg NMS.

HSBC are well within their rights to refuse to accept bad orders. HSBC are exposed to specific regulatory risk not shared by US banks. Having a ton of customers go bust because a regulatory change nuked some meme stocks seems undesirable to me. If you don't like it you can always find another broker.
It's only clear in 1 of the pictures I shared. That is on the "Plans and Details" page.

It's "clear enough" in the other. That is on the Buy Now page. The price is listed as annualized and the REAL monthly price is hidden from view under a drop-down. This is an acceptably deceptive UX practice for pricing. I can give some room for shitty tactics, this is it.

However - it's not clear at all in the first picture I shared. This is the first page and the main page people will see when deciding which product to purchase. This is the main one I have a problem with. If they said it was an annual price, that would be acceptable. But they don't.

They lie.

Or, Patreon. You pay creators on an ongoing basis to produce content at a rate you find acceptable for the amount you pay them. Patronage does away with the illogic of artificial scarcity and subjects artistic work to the same standards as any other work. That is, ongoing payment entails ongoing labor. People pay you to write songs, to travel and perform songs, instead of paying you to have once written a song at some indeterminate point in the past. Songs that are already made have no scarcity and hence no inherent value, but your labor to perform them and to write new songs does, so that's what you should logically be paid for.

The degree of silliness to artificial scarcity becomes apparent when you try to apply it to any other labor. If an investigative reporter uncovers corruption at city hall, does he deserve a royalty every time you tell someone and hence copy the fruits of his labor? Does a meteorologist when you freely share his forecast? Should the doctor who invents a new surgical technique get a percentage every time it's used to save someone's life?
It does, because it sounded like he was concerned with the complexity of explaining the broadness of uses for git checkout.

Now we can treat git restore like it is a separate thing.

Personally, I'm with you, I just don't see how Tesla's valuation is justified. Their cars have QC issues and they have very formidable competitors. If I had to buy a car, I'd pick the Porsche Taycan over any Tesla any time of the day (except maybe the Roadster, but it's not out yet).

That said, I have a few friends who bought it's shares and their rationale is that it's a "clean energy play", far bigger than cars and that their brand is going to be as valuable as Apple. Only time will tell I guess, everyone can put their money where their mouth is and shorting Tesla has been a pretty bad proposition so far.
