What about profit sharing? The first time I ever got stock options I discounted them as being worth $0. This was small private company.

But the company paid out profit sharing based on all the outstanding shares including unvested ones.

So if we made a profit everyone got a profit bonus early in the next year. We were all stakeholders.

Not really, because naming is 98% convention when it's done right.

The challenge is establishing all the conventions for a project, and then sticking to them.

If there are really good conventions in place, well known, then naming is considerably easier.

In fact, even if the conventions are not super good - they can be powerful when they are very well adhered to.

Example: recently broke a rule and decided to use a known naming anti-pattern by suffixing variable names with the system type. This is normally not good. But within this module, the meta typing was ambiguous - by adding the suffix, the code was magically more clear. That little convention, very easy to apply, solved a clarity problem far more so than any issues around what functions should be called. So we used it for the module and that module only.

Apple has some pretty hardcore naming conventions that I don't really like, but what's more important then whether they are good or not, is that they are very consistently applied - in other words - a lot less to think about.

It's becoming clear that their values are completely different from the west. Unfortunately the problem is that consumers here love low prices, but they also love employment rights, social security, free healthcare and other signs of an advanced civilisation - which costs money. The hypocrisy of the society is that they don't care if the product they buy was made in a country that don't respect human rights and was probably made by forced labour or children. As long as they don't see the exploitation, then it does not bother them.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to create a campaign that would show consumers how they are condoning human rights abuse by buying these products, because big corporations would have to lose a big stream of money.

I would love to see the law changed, so that companies would have to print country of origin of the product, and additional information kind of when you buy eggs, you can see if it is from free range hens or caged. So it should be mandatory to write if product was made using forced labour, children or low paid workers.

Next step, I would like to see mandatory filters in online stores, where you could filter out products made in countries that abuse human rights. If you want to buy something on Amazon, that is not coming from China it is extremely time consuming - it should be easy.
Finally, products coming from such countries should have a levy, so that the cost of making product in China would be similar as if it was done locally.

If we are going to continue supporting China, all the things that they do, will become appealing to sociopathic politicians here and eventually they'll be copying it.

> As I stated, feel free to place your counter-point in your resume next time you're looking at next steps. We are unlikely to cross paths in the professional world, but I would be happy to hear about your positive success in the job market with these statements prominently displayed.

Which statements ? like saying on your resume "I quit my job because i didnt get the bonus i felt entitled to" ?

This is hardly a good metric. Most people when reading a piece of information would have the tendency to assign blame to the party they do not identify with. The way to look at it, if you were to ask the employer to add to the job description "The last guy who this job quit he didn't get the bonus he felt entitled to" would equally deter job applicants.

I've done this before. No, I'm not going to share my sources because a) I haven't saved the exact ones I found before and b) whatever I include, you're always going to criticize me for not including yet more calculations in my side of the ledger. But the answer is going to come out the same anyways: Bitcoin uses orders of magnitude energy more than traditional currency.

Take a simple thought experiment. Someone makes a transaction with VISA. That requires updating the seller's bank's ledger, the buyer's bank's ledger, and VISA's computer. Let's round that up to a dozen computers who need to know about that transaction. Now consider Bitcoin. Those same three computers need to know about that transaction... and so does everybody else who runs a full node. We haven't considered a picojoule of energy consumed by proof-of-work yet, and Bitcoin has already consumed far more energy than VISA.

So how about that proof-of-work? Well, let's compare a bank's energy consumption. Go to their financial statements, and pick out the line item that includes energy costs. If you're not sure which line item that is, add all of the plausible ones together (and round up, because what's the harm in overestimating here?). I don't know how much they pay for energy, so let's say it's 1¢ per kWh because what's the harm in rounding up? Crunch the numbers, and banks still use far less energy than Bitcoin's proof-of-work, even by our wastrel overestimation numbers. Oops, I forgot to account for the different volumes. Doesn't matter--banks are moving more money on less energy than Bitcoin.

Much of the ancillary functions you want to include to make Bitcoin's energy consumption seem less embarrassing would still exist even if the world magically switched from USD to BTC overnight. The loan officer evaluating how much interest to offer on a mortgage to a first-time home buyer would still be doing exactly the same thing. The loan shark driving to bust someone's kneecaps for not paying back loans on time would still be doing exactly the same thing.

This hasn't led to a decrease in trafficking in the countries that have tried it though. Many of them in Europe have become trafficking destinations for women from other countries. There's lots and lots of studies out there that show that decriminalizing prostitution does not lead to lower trafficking or better outcomes for prostitutes.

Also the rhetoric we use here (defeatist, people are going to solicit sex and break the law so let's make it easier for them, etc.) is in stark contrast to how we talk about problems we actually want to fight in our societies like obesity, racism, worker mistreatment by employers, etc. In those situations we never say that people are going to do such things anyways and criminalizing it just makes those who do those crimes more unlikely to change, more unlikely to get back into society, more distrustful of the system, etc. In those situations we spend tons and tons of money at the corporate and the government level trying to teach people these behaviors are wrong and to not engage in them.

Why can't we do that with people who solicit prostitutes?
It’s interesting and a little surprising to me that people selling almost $8 billion in BTC found ready buyers such that the market clearing price only dropped 10%. That’s a lot of money to move, and implies that a lot of other people saw this as a chance to buy a dip.

The regulatory framework is an issue, sure, but in a good system you can set up translation in a bunch of different ways so that the USD values are saved per-transaction. In OneStream you'd set the main currency in, say, USD, then force entries in BTC and translate either with average rate, periodic rate, or spot rate as you prefer. You can then report as necessary.

> Yet we have to be ready for "Russian speaking Ukrainians" from nearby Russian cities

Yes this is an important point. Russia's official position to this day is that they have not invaded Donbass, and that the conflict there is a civil war. That's transparently false propaganda, and extensive evidence exists of specific identifiable Russian military units operating in Ukraine, but it's nonetheless the Russian narrative. If they escalate further it would not surprise me if it were "Russian speaking Ukrainians" again; Russian operatives furthering Russian interests using Russian equipment and Russian resources, but officially deniable by Russia.

Another favored narrative is that they are protecting Russian-speaking peoples from oppression, and that these oppressed peoples want to be under Russian rule. That worked to some extent in 2014, and I knew many educated and prosperous Ukrainians who believed that propaganda. It will be a harder sell today, as it's very obvious that seven years of "freedom" in Donbass has destroyed the region and made life worse for the Ukrainians who still live there. But, again, I don't think Putin cares if the rest of the world believe that propaganda; the target audience is the Russian people.

This is the reality of leveraged trading.

If you've put up your crypto as collateral on a loan, which you used to buy more crypto (defi), and the price of the asset backing your loan drops below threshold it gets auto liquidated by the holder and your loan is cancelled out. It is automated in all cases with triggers and varying thresholds.

Majority of these are 75-85% ratio which means if btc dips 15-25%, all of those providers liquidate the asset to cover.

Btc has also been holding at 60k for a while while alts are enjoying a rally as they tend to do when everyone leverages their btc gains via the aforementioned to buy into alts.

I'm surprised it didn't crash further but I guess the defi bubble wasn't as big.

This is sort of the system versus goal issue applied to exercise. If you have to go out of your way (to a gym, to a trail) to get the exercise in then it's harder to maintain (for most people, and even for people who find it "easy" the habit can be broken by one bad week). Whereas if you convert a portion of your transportation to walking/cycling, you can create a more sustainable system around the activity.

Even doing little things like parking at the back of the parking lot and taking the stairs to the third or fourth floor office can add a decent chunk of walking to the day without creating a major hurdle (unless you're chronically late, the extra 5 minutes of walking to and from the parked car won't be bothersome).
I'm glad to know that my condition system book is of some really concrete use; an independent implementation of CL-style conditions and control flow in Clojure is probably the best example I can imagine for that.

It's an interesting look past the mystification of how
capitalism is claimed to work. Behind the curtain it is unable
or unwilling to find a way to sustain the existences of the
producers of goods that the public desires. Instead it relies
on disposability. Burn a part out (and many do; it's
particularly a problem among romance writers -- and on through
Hollywood, the porn industry, et cetera) and replace. Rinse
and repeat.

The question becomes: is it a system instated by humans and
controlled by humans, or a system that has come to control
humans, a meta system, global capital as a type of planet-wide
intelligence analogous to an ant colony or the cells in
an individual body, bent on its perpetuation at the necessary
cost of any of those individual components.

It's an interesting system to discuss in the hypothetical. The
genre, however, changes when or if one realizes the part you
are in such a system as it exits. Of course, we all think
we're special. There's always a war going on around us, but
there isn't a bullet out there with my name on it; those
shells rip others to pieces, not me.

Which, circling back, is why we need 'content creators'. We
need Lovecrafts to distract us from the cosmic horror of
ourselves and what we label reality.

> may have some internal checks that could eventually call something like updateDate

This sounds like exactly the kind of pre-mature optimization that leads to overly-abstract function names throughout the codebase. Your point is a good one, once the function does something more than `updateDate()`. But until then, just call it `updateDate()`. As a bonus, this way any time you do choose to use `handleClick()`, the name is conspicuous enough that you pause to see what side effects it might have.
Very well written article. I'll add that there are tricks to manage that behavior.

The dataflow is a diamond:

transactions ----> credits
\ \
----> debits -----JOIN----> balance ---> total

In Flink the SQL query planner may instantiate two different consumers groups on transactions; that topic might be read twice. These can progress at different rates, which is partly why some inconsistencies could appear.

Now, the trick: converting transactions to datastream then back to SQL will introduce a materializing barrier, and you will benefit from high temporal locality. There might be some inconsistencies left though, as the JOIN requires some shuffling and that can introduce some processing skew. For example the Netflix account will be the target of many individual accounts; the instance responsible for Netflix might be a hot spot and process things differently (probably by backpressuring a little, making the data arrive in larger micro batches).

Anyway when processing financial data you might want to make the transaction IDs tag along the processing; maybe pair them back together in tumbling event-time windows at the total. Like he said: 'One thing to note is that this query does not window any of its inputs, putting it firmly on the low temporal locality side of the map where consistency is more difficult to maintain.'. Also, windowing would have introduced some end-to-end Latency.

This makes me think: Streaming systems introduce a new letter in the CAP trade-off?

I humbly propose: The CLAP trade-off, with L for Latency.
