https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/05/google-tracking-cred... -- that's from a quick Google search. Even though the article says "secretly" etc...there is really no conspiracy theory-like secret to this and it's well-known that everyone sells data to whomever they can make money from. It's more like what user jonahbenton has explained in another comment. The makers of Voltaren are able to broadly advertise to anyone who might be interested in Voltaren -- they don't know specific users. But Google (or any other advertising provider) has access to info on who might be interested in Voltaren at present -- which might be decided based on various factors including your credit-card purchase data. If Google does wants to dig down, they probably can use various info to drill down to you specifically and that is what makes people rightly uncomfortable, but what I am trying to say is that in general they are not specifically targeting you for the ad -- but a broad category/bucket of "people who might be interested in Voltaren at present". One might say it is the same thing...

C is an an abstraction over assembly that is an abstraction over microcode and so on and on.

So C programmers must agree that some abstraction is good and it is at least plausible that C is not the best abstraction layer for evry single application.

Interesting. I've seen the apostrophe for acronyms which involve periods: e.g. "C.D.'s" (NYT has an article about this being their preferred style)

I've seen it for one-letter words where you don't want to switch case: e.g. "dot your i's and cross your t's"

But I haven't seen it in upper-cased abbreviations followed by a lower case plural 's'. Or if I have, I've assumed it's wrong. Would love it if you can refer me to a modern style guide which doesn't recommend dropping the `'` in this usage, as my own background has drilled into me that "IDs" is preferred for clarity.

> couldn't fathom how people would play Through The Fire And The Flames

Either the game is slow enough to reason about in real time (certainly, a sweep like 4-3-2-1-2-3-4 as seen in the video wouldn't trip up any seasoned player) or the player resorts to memorizing finger positions (2+3 [2nd button held down at the same time as 3rd], 3+4, 1+4, etc) as well as sequences (1,1,1, 2+3, 1,1,1, 2+3). Hopefully one can pause at a certain segment and redo it as much as needed (like with real instruments), instead of starting from the beginning of the song each time.
> what good is that if I have to pay capital gains tax

You would (almost) never pay cap gains on cash even if the law required it, because cash goes down in value over time. Everyone knows this, so no one holds cash, they buy stocks, bonds and realestate. When it comes time for the Tesla, they have to sell those assets, pay cap gains, then buy it, just like BTC. If you wanted to avoid cap gains, your only choice is to hold cash, in which case you would have less overall money at the end.

tl;dr: all appreciating assets are encumbered with cap gains, the only way to avoid it is to buy non-appreciating assets, which is worse

Not even that: directors are required to act in the interests of the company.

Acting in the interests of shareholders is problematic, as different shareholders have different interests (especially minority vs majority).

And by keeping the duty to act in the interests of the company, directors are not required to focus on short-term profitability and shareholder dividends; decisions can be justified as being in the long-term interests of the company, and better for the company's reputation and culture, even if they don't deliver shareholders the maximum short-term gains.

Yes... in a way, that witch hunting will help Stallman get a job he's bad at by drowning out the criticism that he's bad at the job, and so he will again be ina position to help push the GPL into the margins. (Which may be where it should be, but personally speaking I'd rather see the FSF win or lose by its merits, rather than by hobbling itself with a president like Stallman.)

Walking will help your heart and is a good way to improve base fitness, but generally speaking not a way to lose weight. Fundamentally, walking burns very few calories. To lose 50 pounds walking, you need to walk hours per day which isn't very practical.

That said, it can still work because ritualizing fitness also brings more awareness to other aspects of your life. When you are regularly working out (walking or otherwise), it can make you conscious of mealtime choices. You also are fundamentally not eating when you are out walking.

If you want to lose weight, you either need much more intense exercise or to figure out how to stop eating. Walking or other activity is still important, but it's not a "Weight loss" solution.
We're both correct. They support and ignore operands.

"cats and dogs": Results for exact term "cats and dogs". If no results are found, we'll try to show related results.

The entire point of using quotes (or + back in the day) is to limit the results to the search term. Fluffling up the results with stuff we aren't asking for forces us to consider and disregard each one of those unasked-for results - until we get frustrated and go to Google.

Agreed that decriminalizing prostitution is not a fix to sex trafficking, or the other attendant problems of sex work.

However, we know very well that making prostitution illegal has no effect on those either. All else equal, it's more expensive to fight something you can't stop or even really slow down very much, which is why I think less money should be spent on enforcement than, say, treatment of the inevitable consequences.

(Or better yet, trying to address the underlying factors that drive demand, though we almost never try that)

I think there are legitimately different classes of problems, and some are better addressed through regulation, and others are just made worse.

Racism (read: systematic racism at an organizational or policy level) and worker mistreatment are likely in the former: problems that are possible to at least noticeably mitigate through legislative changes, incentives, and punishments.

Alcohol and drug prohibition I would put into the latter class: things people will continuing doing no matter how illegal they are.

Prostitution seems like it clearly belongs with drugs and alcohol, though I would love to hear the reasons you disagree.

By the way, I have no idea why your comment got downvoted. I disagree with it so far, but it's a coherent argument and not particularly nasty. It's hard to have discussions on HN when dissenting opinions just get buried.

I'm not an expert on this, but I suspect merchants supporting level 3 data send it to the processor for all transactions, not just for corporate cards (if they even know it's a corporate card), but they only get the fee discount if it's a corporate card. Your credit card statement might not expose the data (or even get it), but the network can still sell it.

Your manager is likely to care (not always in my observations), but there can be various reasons for that (affected deliverables (compensation); bad experience of delivering the news, etc.). His manager may care. Next level manager is much less likely to care, and so on. And the decisions are usually made on the level where I doubt people care much. People on that level may not like that they have to lay off people and have some sympathy for those affected, but they will lay them off as soon as they think it is necessary for one reason or another. It's their job to keep _the company_ going, not to keep _you_ employed.
Well, FLoC is implemented on Chrome, you don't disable it, you opt out with a Header.

I had a similar program and there was also incentives based on year end leveling.

We met all of our goals, but because I was 11 months in they cut it in half.

Then I was supposed to receive the top performance award. However, they gave it to another coworker because I had only been there not quite a year. This of course reduced my bonus by half, but again the monetary award was further reduced again. In the end, even though I was leading all the projects and getting things done I received a quarter of what I should have gotten. The full top grant was given to someone who did basically nothing and came to work maybe three days a week. He was also drunk those three days.

I quit two weeks later. Mostly because a friend called because they had reqs open and they were offering me a 25% increase in pay. That wouldn’t have been as competitive if they hadn’t played so many games.

I heard all on my in progress projects stopped because no one knew what they were doing.
Not GP, but the answer is no if you pay the balance in full every month. The issuer anyway makes money from the MDR (merchant discount rate) charged to the seller. But they would love customers who pay a partial balance regularly (at or above the minimum due) and charge them hefty interests like 20% per annum or 36% per annum or even higher, depending on a few different factors. Once you carry over balances from month to month, then every transaction attracts interest until the entire balance with interest is paid off.
Sure. As long as you're able to deal with nobody else sharing that pride, expressing gratitude, offer a reward or even notice your feat. Then you're set. If not - you're up for a rude awakening many years later realizing that all those things you were proud of didn't make any actual difference - not even for yourself.
By "they lose their shares/options if they quit" do you mean vesting? Because if you do, then you are not losing shares that you have already earned. And founders also have vesting.
Water, in general, isn't specific enough. Hot water definitely won't help. It's low temperature, high thermal capacity / high latent heat of vaporization extinguishants that are best. The FAA has a whole protocol and training materials on how to put out Li-ion fires.

Most car fires do not actually involve the entire gasoline tank catching alight; as the gas tank is well-protected and not particularly near sources of ignition. An engine bay fire is much more common.

If gasoline is spilled, foam works well to extinguish it and keep it from igniting.

Once a gasoline fire is out and cool, it is going to stay that way,

Lithium-ion battery fires are self-sustaining thermal runaways. You cannot put out such a battery fire by smothering it; it does not need oxygen from the air. All you can do is try to keep it cool by running water on it.

Even after such a fire seems cool, it can reignite unexpectedly.

The actual gross volume of energy is not necessarily what makes fighting a fire dangerous or not; it's the unpredictability. Firefighters may be more worried about compressed gas-strut explosions (from hatches, hoods etc) than they are about the gas tank exploding.

The time series data is stored as arrays of two-item arrays: [UTC-timestamp-in-ms, value].

We have some aggregated and calculated displays by day/week/month/etc, and these are updated/cached when new data is uploaded, which normally only takes a few seconds or less for each view.

Data is shown to end-users in the timezone where the monitoring site is located, which normally is moot as the user looking at the data is located in the same timezone, but where they are not, the timezone is clearly identified on the graph/table.
