It used to be T+3. We switched to T+2 about 4 years ago. That amount of time gives firms the opportunity to borrow in the overnight market to get cash for purchases, and also allows short sellers a bit of time to secure borrow so that they can deliver shares.

Even on T+2, hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of GME stock failed to deliver. Thus, I thumb my nose at the suggestion that T+1 (which is what we use in the options market) would have resolved the issue.

In actuality, Vlad is correct that faster settlement would have liberated some of his firm's cash, but it's not a real solution considering that other parts of the settlement process would break. It's easier for him to point fingers than to admit "We were writing checks that our firm couldn't cash."
You can use lean Java persistence frameworks with lesser dependencies if you wish. I think mybatis only has 4/5 dependencies and 2 of them are the the standard slf4/logback dependencies.

There are many modern java libraries that are very lean and mean out there and package into small-sized redistributable assemblies.

Do you have a source for your claims? I mean its obvious that renewables are dependent on the weather, but that's no issue since a neighbour can always produce & Germany is building up power storage capacity. Including a fat line to Norway where Germany sends wind power and receives renewables power when there is a need.

Additional the German power grid is super stable, black- or brownouts simply don't happen.

> This causes the electricity price to routinely go negative because our neighboring countries don’t want to have it either.

This has and probably will always happen. For example Aluminum smelters are getting paid to burn electricity almost since the beginning of the industrialization, otherwise this industry wouldn't exist.

> What a failure. And what a failure that people still fall for that exportweltmeister lie

So building up massive renewable capacity while starting to sell more and more of it is a failure to you? Either your expectations are crazy high or very low...
In reality I saw employee #1 switch to a different project and take 3 months off. Seems reasonable.

I was happy taking a Friday off here and there when I needed and taking weeks off when I moved. This was in addition to my regular vacations prior to the pandemic.

Everyone anti-unlimited PTO seems to be completely missing the forest for the trees. It’s nice to be respected and trusted to do your work. It’s also nice to fuck off whenever you want.

The argument here is that of course you can’t take a year off and reasonably do your job. Well; we all knew that already.

Genuine Unlimited time off creates an environment of respect between the employee and the employer. If I do my job; I can take some time off. You can’t really do your job if you’re never there, so I don’t get your point.

By “vendoring” dependencies, I’m guessing you are talking about pulling them out of node_modules (into a js/vendor dir), and checking them into your repo, repeating the process every time you want to update. I will make an offering to Cthulhu if it’ll ensure we won't be using webpack and node 10 years from now in order to build those old snapshots without considerable effort.
This resonates with something I've thought about as a surfer, which is that humans have a really perverse tendency to overvalue scarcity and undervalue what is good but common and easily accessible. In the surfing context, humans cluster very densely on waves that are deemed "good," and then complain about crowds, while endless miles of coastline with different waves go totally unridden. We all want that "rare" wave, and have trouble being happy with the sort of waves that are commonplace.
>For example, if someone wants to leave, but the bonus or vesting is coming up, they will stay, and you don't want people on a project who don't want to be there.

People shouldn't stay at a company based on money? Isn't money one of the main factors causing people to stay at a company?

Or are you more saying they're staying only for a few months then quitting? Yeah, I see that. But maybe the answer isn't to get rid of bonuses and equity, but rather to spread them out over a long time. Don't have yearly stock vests, instead have monthly ones spread out over a year or more.

That’s a really smart breach target, since reading their security notice it sounds like it works by you downloading and executing their code in your CI environment. So their code has access to your code and all the secrets you inject into your CI environment. There’s probably a lot of pipelines with deploy credentials available to other jobs. As an example I’m most familiar with, Gitlab provides all environment variables to all jobs so if you’re using them for deploy tokens then any job like code coverage can access them. They do document this and offer an alternative in something like Hashicorp Vault, but it’s a big target regardless.
Feel free to name any category of professional where working over 40 hours a week isn’t quite normal. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, professors. It sure looks like people who work more than 40 hours a week on average do better than those who don’t. This is not a claim about what I wish was true, but about what actually seems to be true.

The actual research on this is scarce to the point of non-existence. It may actually be non-existent for knowledge workers, at least published work.

Considering how rich the Bengali language is, it was a match made in heaven. I found a nice pdf of 16 Russian folk tales for my daughter - each quite detailed - she loves them.

Seriously, though, you just described my experience of the coin collecting community pretty well, too. You've got the people who have full collections of mint state Buffalo nickels, and you've got the people who collect coins with animals on them. A full boat of high grade Buffalo nickels can run you well over $50k, while you might not even have to put $50 into your animal collection to have a hundred nice pieces.

About the only thing the coin community goes hard on generally speaking is cleaning or artificially toning coins (using chemicals to apply fake patinas or color). Those are no-nos, and you won't get any respect by doing them. The exception is ancient coins, which, since they're hundreds or thousands of years old, and frequently come out of the ground, usually need some cleaning to be presentable.

The best description of the OEIS I've heard is by Donald Knuth in this fun talk (https://youtu.be/BxQw4CdxLr8) where at 19:50 he says how it lets you "compute your way into the literature":

> For the last 30 years or more, there has been a wonderful tool for all kinds of problems of this form and it's been online for a long time: we have the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. And this is just the nicest thing since sliced bread for mathematics because you can compute your way into the literature. [audience laughter] If you want to know if anybody else has ever studied a problem, all you have to do is evaluate the first few cases of it and then you look it up and there it is. The hit rate is incredible, and all kinds of mathematicians have discovered each other through the OEIS. […] I donate to Wikipedia and the Internet Archive and the OEIS.

(Aside: A good blog post about that lecture: https://thenewstack.io/donald-knuths-christmas-tree-lecture-...)

Indeed I've used it this way many times; the most recent example is that I became curious about how many polynomial functions there are mod n (after posting this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26482028), and by computing the answers for n up to 10, I was able to look up up those numbers in the OEIS and find the general formula, and also the relevant papers. (Asked a question about it here: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/4070051/how-many-di... but ended up answering it myself…) I don't think I'd have even known where to look (as I'm not a professional mathematician), if not for the OEIS. And this happens again and again.
Agreed. It's very much dependent on managers shaping corporate culture to foster effective communication habits, but once established, it very much helps productivity. I work with several teams in any given week and I find myself most productive when we use a private channel for dedicated discussion (which I can scan through later very quickly as a form of documentation), while the few meetings I have are dragged out, ineffective, and extremely inefficient since they bottleneck communication to a single speaker at any given time, preventing parallel discussion in separate threads. Also in a meeting I can't just turn off my ears and look up something to check and if needed ask questions, I have to keep my attention on the speaker, which harms feedback and discussion even more.

Which is a shame, because this is more a sign of manager/lead incompetence on how to measure productivity than anything else. When your most important metric is measuring how long an ass keeps a seat warm, you should think real hard about why that's a serious issue.
There is an established consensus that cigarettes are bad for kids. Sure, parents should keep parenting, but it’s acceptable to create messaging that Instagram is bad for children. It’s a public health issue.

No one is creating messaging that bicycles are bad for kids. There are safety guidelines for using bicycles.

There is no need for safety guidelines for cigarettes or Instagram for children, because there’s no benefit for children to use those things.
>The rich were meant to have the most leisure time. The working poor were meant to have the least. The opposite is happening. Why?

For one thing this very premise is plain wrong. Nobody's supposed to be meant to have anything.

Could maybe be better restated as "Why do people who work more than average sometimes end up more financially prosperous than average?"

OK, a few follow-up questions;

1. Why would a content creator want to create something that is easily traded?

2. As a buyer, how do I know the token works before I buy it? Can't someone just remove its access to the content after I buy it? The content is not on-chain, so it's still centralized somewhere.

3. If I can rent/sell the access to make a profit, wouldn't it make more sense for me to just make a DRM-free copy and sell that at the same price multiple times instead of once?

I guess I want to know a specific use-case that blockchain enables in this context. So far it sounds exactly like DRM that has a different transfer mechanism.

This is why you build continent-sized electric grids. It’s always sunny somewhere.

Making a nation-sized renewable-based electric grid is very hard to stabilize, because you’re not working at the right scale. It’s the same with other large infrastructure like freeways: they’re only worth the investment if you connect vast areas.
An appraisal company has no financial incentive to "optimize" outcomes for either the seller or the buyer -- their fee isn't a percentage of the sale (or asking) price, but is a flat fee, depending on the kind of appraisal being done.

The "algorithm" here is based on "comparables": look for homes in the same or nearby neighborhoods that have sold recently and are as similar to the current home as possible and record what they sold for, making adjustments based on differences between the homes (e.g., if the comparable home is bigger, has another bedroom, comes with newer appliances, etc., adjust its price down; if the home being appraised is the one that's bigger or has the spiffy kitchen or pool or what have you, adjust its price up).
One of the reasons I'm bearish on Bitcoin in the long term is there are systemic risks like this around miners.
Also a good time to point out that there are energy efficient blockchains that work differently from bitcoin -- not all crypto is as power hungry (some use disk space, or memory, or even just the tokens themselves to replace bitcoin's proof of work model).
Call me a cynic, but annual expected-not-guaranteed bonuses are mostly just retention tools right? You get paid a bonus and suddenly you’re much happier and less inclined to change jobs. If that inclination comes back later then you have to weigh the loss of the proportion of your bonus earned so far in the downsides of leaving, since the bonus is never paid in part if you leave during the year.
The company still does it.

This is how employees should treat their relationships with their employers as well. Do what's right for you and your family, and don't act on some misguided sense of loyalty to your employer.
Seems intuitive because estate agents make bank on a small percentage of the sale, so number of sales is more important that pushing the price by, from their cut's pov, a couple of 100 GBP/USD

The algorithms probably price houses based on comps, to increase the likelihood of the bank giving the buyer a loan for the house.

I expect that launching in the SF area will be easy for two reasons:

1. The area has a lot of people with extra money who already use dating apps.

2. A lot of people in the area like to try new apps.

I'm saving SF until the app is more polished. I don't want to tarnish the brand here.
Yes you can get better price if you can wait longer and look for best opportunity but for a real estate agent, each sale happening increases probability of future sales, so it's in their best interest to make market as lively as possible to increase sellers and buyers trust and to prevent backlog.

Plus, relying too much on one sale is not a good business, for some people whole point of getting into business is to reduce their dependence on one particular customer.
I am not surprised, I reported a security issue years ago and I was completely ignored by them. Unfortunately I cannot find the ticket anymore but the issue was that I could see coverage results for a different account.

Well we have a good explanation of the drop: the power outages. Also with 25% hash power you're going to have a hard time doing a 51% attack.
I think you're drawing conclusions on a very biased sample. It's easy for me to write examples of bonuses causing all the wrong problems:

1. Introduce a huge amount of technical debt to get it under schedule.

2. Working really hard to get the bonus and either not getting it or getting much less than you expected/deserved. This is probably 5-10x more common than your scenario - you can even find comments on this submission with examples. Working 60-80 hour weeks to get a tiny bonus is very effective in inducing poor morale.

> In fact, I've noticed that people often add a net-negative value to many projects - their urge to add their 2 cents and make their impact felt, results in goalposts getting constantly shifted and launches getting continually delayed.

It's amusing you write this as an example of not having skin in the game, given that I often see this behavior from people who want to appear as if they have skin in the game, so they can claim a portion of the bonus. Almost every major initiative that is introduced in the company ends up with this.
You're thinking too small on the impact--China doesn't need to double spend bitcoins. What they could do is cause a loss of confidence in Bitcoin overnight and collapse the price.
This behavior is often due to the difficulty of evicting a tenant. In Berlin, the process can take 3-9 months and can be easily contested.

There's no easy solution. Everyone puts the blame on the landlord saying they should be careful who they rent to, but that's difficult to do without doing some kind of background check on tenants and can also lead to discrimination.

That has nothing to do with rolling back or 51% attacks. A racing attack and a 51% attack are different things.
I strongly disagree it's the right graph. I wonder if you're just trolling at this point. Comparing growth rates of countries by looking at absolute values of dollars from countries of different sizes is madness.

I've given you 5 different framings at this point:

* Real GDP PPP % change over 30, 20, and 10 years to the most recent fully reported year.
* Share of high-income country GDP over last 20 years
* Per capita PPP GDP over 30 years, where it slid from parity with Germany in 2005 to about 80% of Germany's.

But they're all bad in favor of looking at a linear scale graph, where starting from a higher value in the green series obscures that the percentage of growth is low compared to most of the members of the set.

If you're determined to believe a specific conclusion, there's not much point in discussion.
That's tight. Here's a document from Network Rail on the practical problems of trying to increase the loading gauge in the UK so containers can fit on electrified lines.[1] That's just to make room for single height containers. In the UK, the catenary clearance is sometimes reduced to get under historic bridges, but that requires slowing trains way down.
Sometimes the rail bed is lowered, but that creates drainage problems. Raising historic masonry bridges is even harder. This document has good pictures of all the problems.

> But there's another truth to it that the article also describes--if you agreed to work for a wage and then receive that wage, can it really be called unfair?

You define what's fair based on what information you have. If new information reveals that trade was not only unfair but a blatant rip off you are within your rights to feel something about it.

Still, I think one should accept the past trade. But there's no reason for that, combined to the new information to guarantee a continuous relation.

In other words, renegotiation based on new information that substantially change the deal is moral.
