So selling = dumping?

Edit: ok so dumping=selling the whole lot

I guess that makes sense. I think this post explained it better https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27633163
Great to see this list. I started reading Origin of Wealth last week and wish I had encountered the book earlier.

Dunno how close it is to being ready for production, but it lets you use Cypher in PostgreSQL, which is a pretty damn nice language for doing many of the things you'd use recursive CTEs for. I don't much care for Neo4j (the "home" database for the Cypher language) but Cypher is good.
Tig welding. I think being able to craft with metal will open up a nice chunk of the technology tree for me.
I disagree. If it's a rewarding experience, then it's not a punishment. The difference is between making prison break levels, and actually implementing a prison system as a player punishment. The goals are conflicting. In general forcing a player to do content they don't want to do is not good.
The key is just a bunch of words which one need to write down with pen and paper and store in a safe place nobody can access.
One can imagine better schemes of course, to hide or share the secrets.
Dumping is slang financial word for selling your entire inventory of certain type of thing. Usually this has underpinning that the item is some kind of hot potato that they want to get rid of. That is because, usually, selling a huge amount of stock like that causes the price to drop while you are selling it so it means you are accepting some additional losses for selling everything quickly.

When Amazon sells me something they are not dumping it, because I buy just one item and it is not important for their financial situation.
I signed my wife and I up for Hey as soon as they offered a business plan, and although it's kind of expensive we've been very happy with it. But it's good to know that someone has tried the off-ramp.

Besides the simple routing, I just like the Hey app interface across macOS/iOS/web. The Gmail app never played nice with sending from my custom domain, and I will never subject myself to Apple's buggy mail app again. So I'm curious if there are other mail apps Fastmail users like on iOS/macOS.
A bit off-topic, but does anybody have any examples of websites which use this dark pattern? I am interested in trying to disable this "feature" client-side for the sake of privacy.

Corporate Memphis strikes again!
China's idea of cooperation is the Chinese-Pakistani relationship in which the PM of Pakistan won't even speak up about human rights of Uighurs. As per Document No. 9, the existence of free liberal societies is an existential threat to the CCP and they will act to export their totalitarianism to extinguish them. The only way you give up rivalry with a revisionist expansionist ethnostate is by surrendering. No thanks.
> Tesla is easily 10-15 years ahead of all other manufacturers.

The Mercedes EQS is getting pretty good reviews and the specs look good, so I'm not sure about that. It looks like a direct competitor to the Model S.
It's a sensible default assumption for interacting with the police.

The concentration of cell free DNA in blood plasma is generally in the nanograms/mL range, meaning most cfDNA assays will require at least a ~mL of plasma input for sufficient sensitivity / reproducibility. We aren’t quite at the capillary blood level of sensitivity yet.

I vote for IPv5 protocol, which will allow to cal any IPv4 host via IPv5-IPv4 NAT transparently at nearest bridge.

WHY I cannot do `ping6 127.0.0.1`? WTF? Is IPv6 is too small for whole IPv4 address space?
If you're talking about visa-free travels around the world than I have to break it to you: European passports are stronger than US. Just FYI.

I don't think recipes lie, I think most people don't understand what caramelizing is versus softening. Caramelizing is great for onion focused recipes like French Onion Soup and creates a rich flavor profile. But for everyday recipes using Mirepoix-like flavor base, 10 minutes is enough to cook out the water, lessen the Sulfur flavors, and soften the onions. A stock concentrate can help boost the flavor profile without needing an hour. Softening is enough for most people, and recipes are starting to use that term over Caramelizing.
It's also very in-character for them to push for safer languages. They have quite successfully pushed C# over C++ for Windows software development, and pushed more and more static analysis into (c/c++) Windows driver development.

That’s rather cynical.

Great question - thanks for posting! Looks like most of use are blowing past the scope you introduce at the end :)

Creative Focus: Since the beginning of the pandemic, I’ve been reducing the number of projects I take on to the ones that bring me the most joy. I manage an engineering org during the day and compose music by night, and have often felt I needed to —be- all aspects of each world. I felt I couldn’t lead my team without being fluent in every language, framework, ideology that they employ. In music, I felt like I needed to run multiple bands reflecting my range as a player, book those, publish a podcast on a regular cadence, make noise about what I’m doing every 2 weeks on the socials,etc. Now I practice, work on the projects I love, and invest time in my next learning area:

Teaching my team Conscious Self-leadership: I’m responsible for amplifying the superpowers of the humans on my team in an org that has a lot of 'old-world' patterns - expecting a parent to come in and solve your problems, expecting one person to issue an edict on technical direction without collaboration, expecting articulation of a goal to be enough, etc. I'm sure there are jargon words you can point me to for the patterns I'm seeing - I'm still on my first cup of coffee. In a remote-first world, people of all personality stripes need space to lead themselves where their most energized/joyful, and making that space can feel byzantine, but I don't think it has to. So: I'm sharpening patterns and techniques that I'm seeing work.

Villa-Lobos Etudes: I've been a guitarist for just about 40 years (yikes) and finally dug into these last year. I feel I'll be exploring them for the rest of my life, finding new things to work through every week.

Music Engraving: I'm publishing some pieces of mine (including https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmvI6H64SPI and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M7vOIHOeeU) and am learning a ton about how to make a beautiful page of music for guitarists with my mentor John Stropes.
The language in this article highlights how important "financial professionals" view themselves and their peers...

"Extinction-level events" to describe the potential collapse of their hedge fund, when engaged in behavior designed to destroy companies (short selling), that ultimately results in thousands of lost jobs for the workers of said companies if the shorting of a stock is utterly successful. The arrogance is staggering. No wonder WallStreetBets are taking the fight to these short sellers.
Let me reduce it to a simple example:

Two companies buy tires from the same tire manufacturer. The tire manufacturer owns a significant amount of stock in company A and none for company B. If company A does well, the stock value increases. This could be worth billions.

Company B has a legitimate concern here. Is company A getting any preferential treatment? Lower pricing? Preferential deliveries? Better access to resources? Etc.

While two companies can buy exactly the same product from a manufacturer, the nature of the relationship and the advantages one receives over the other can be massively different.

The easiest way to understand this, of course, would be volume. If a company buys a million units a year it will have preferential treatment and access over another only buying 10K/year.

My point is that owning billions of dollars of Tesla opens the door to a set of questions. This door is closed permanently the minute Panasonic got rid of all the stock.
Chemistry. I was never really interested in it, but recently discovered that it's one of the best (and enjoyable) ways to learn more about the workings of the physical world, purely for curiosity's sake. Doing the MIT 5.111 course on OCW and the MIT 3.091 course on EdX.

Also re-learning modern JavaScript, and TypeScript too - I've been using JavaScript professionally since 2003, but always begrudgingly. And spending some time picking up Flutter (and Dart). We're doing more and more work on the front-end and on our mobile app, and as a technical founder it's good to have some idea of what's going on even if you're not writing the code yourself.

Learning to be a better manager too, one mistake at a time, as I've been doing for the past few years.
> Yes - because where does it end? China, which has surveillance on anything and everything?

The anti-Chinese rhetoric on HN is starting to grate.

You don't live in the DPRC. How do you know what China does with surveillance if any?
This can also backfire - no one updates Go because of breaking changes and now you've created more problems. Simply miss one or two upgrades and it cascades into an uphill battle. Code base is stuck at N-8 and while version N's popularity plummets, libraries are in disarray.

I know with C, I can rely on it for 45 years. There is something to be said about this and the peace of mind that comes with it.

Obviously, this is a spectrum with extremities and many ways to go about it. We should not discount "Move slowly, and not break things".
“Dumping” is kind of a provocative term, but when you cash out an investment that usually means you no longer expect the asset to continue appreciating. (Or at least that you expect a better return elsewhere)

Nobody would cash out a position if you expected further gains.
Article by Derek Lowe (clearly written as usual) why we should not waste money on test with drugs that have a very low probability of success.
Their product is so popular production of their Model Y is essentially sold out for the 3rd quarter with 2 weeks to go in the second quarter. They are in a business that has massive efficiency advantages as it scales. There is a good chance Tesla will be the largest company in the world in 10 years. It isn’t a coincidence that you hear all these rumors about Apple trying to get into the automotive business.
I seriously wish I could never hear the word the "privilege" again. Its an extremely spiteful mechanism to tear people down.
They will not be told they have cancer. They will be told they probably should check something out. Everybody already knows they might have cancer, having a negative blood test would be a huge relief.
I was at a local hacker space for a photo-op visit by the mayor. One of the things she talked about was the city's new smart power grid. Several members were upset about the fact that they were required to have these meters on their house, mostly because of how insecure they were. If I remember correctly, they were not password protected, and they had just turned off SSID broadcasting. One of the members couldn't help himself and showed her how trivial it was to access the meter's mesh network, which he demonstrated by pinging the meter at the mayors mansion. It was an awkward evening.
yeah and that's what is behind the idea that some "different" dinosaur species (aka birds) are actually juvanile / adult versions of the same species

totally amazing that insects basically rearrange themselves on near celular level though at certain points in their lifespan
> Like, AOC should be, (with no disrespect) basically a nobody in politics, she is a 1.2 term representative. But republicans wanted a villain and boy did they make one

It’s mutually beneficial for them both, in the same way that rappers spend so much time beefing with each other. Controversy drives popularity, especially when each side’s followers made up their minds long ago about which side they’re on.
> Don’t you think that now that you’re not struggling to make ends meet you have more time and have the freedom to think about these things?

I don't disagree with this point. In a way, it is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

Now that I am re-reading your original post, maybe I misunderstood you initially. Sticking with Maslow's theme, I suppose you are saying that someone declaring "burnout is real" is same as someone who has never been hungry, experiences their first hunger and then declares that "hunger is real". Yes it sounds silly.

And yes there are billions of people who do same mind numbing boring jobs all their lives, and they probably are suffering from burnout too. They just don't go out and say it.

But how can we improve their lives if no one talks about it. Some of lower needs have immediate consequences, and no one needs convincing that it is real. Now that majority of humans don't need to worry about food and shelter, we probably should start discussing next needs in hierarchy.
Given how amazon has eroded trust with things like Sidewalk, why would I give them free time to improve CodeGuru and fix bugs?

Amazon has been openly adversarial to businesses, including software companies, so what goodwill are they banking on?

No it is not. Stop trolling or go learn financial slang. It is not hard, you can google it.

> Dismissing people who have a valid criticism...

I'm not inclined to assume "BLM is communism!" as valid criticism. Bad faith actors work really hard to derail conversations about racism and police reform; at a certain point, you have to dismiss the same age-old arguments that've been made and debunked at every step along the way.

See also: All the anti-miscegenation arguments that turned into anti-gay marriage arguments that turned into anti-trans ones, with basically just a find/replace for the term used.

Returning to the point at hand, I believe I've sufficiently demonstrated that MLK's sterling reputation is a more recent phenomenon, and at the time of his actual actions he was being treated and discussed similarly to how many activists are today.
Book design - really just the interior parts for now. I have a (private) website for writing branching fiction (kinda like CYOA but not in second-person present tense), and my friends and I have been using it to write a novel over the last year or so. So far it's about 250 chapters out of a projected 350, it should end up just under 1000 pages so I'll probably have to break it into two volumes.

Ideally I'd like to press a button on the site and have it generate a manuscript - so far I've been looking at a combination of markdown, pandoc, and LaTeX for the formatted form. From what I understand that's frowned upon for Real Publishers, but works well for the DIY process (amazon, book baby, Ingram). I'm playing around with LaTeX templates now, and have a subsection of the book laid out manually now, using various guidelines I can find for font, font size, margins, etc.

I'm also writing a separate book more having to do with how people can respectfully share reasoned conclusions with each other - for that, I'm also using a LaTeX book template and am just writing it in LaTeX, since it's kind of fun to see an approximation of what the actual book would look like as I write it.

There's a long way to go on learning this though and I haven't found a lot of good resources, so I'm definitely open to suggestions for folks who have written good technical dynamic pipelines for book publishing - particularly anything that can be wired into a web backend that starts with markdown data.
this sounds really interesting. i am personally very passionate about this space (reducing the impacts of factory farming due to unethical treatment of animals), but as a systems engineer (with degree in mechanical/electrical/software) i don’t really have the Bio background to get more involved.

did you find that to be a hindrance for yourself?
> boggles my mind that the average voter is ok(or at least ok enough not to make an issue out of it) with the status quo of how police departments operate

I don't think we are. But the alternatives are quite awful, particularly when people are scared by elevated violent crime numbers.

We're voting in New York on this issue. A common refrain is we don't want to become San Francisco. Given "defund the police" led Minneapolis to actually start working towards dismantling its police department [1], and given some extremists literally want to do that in New York, the moderate lane for police reform has been--hopefully temporarily--pinched in.

My guess is we'll need to see a policy framework worked out in smaller cities before they can be applied to New York. This happened with cameras. It happened with disciplinary record disclosure laws. It's starting to happen with moving mental health and addiction calls to specialists.

The issue is that pay hasn't kept up with productivity. As things become more efficient employers are having to pay far less for the same amount of work.
CNN is particularly guilty of this. Every other headline on their site is politician slams rival politician. Reporter slams rival reporter, etc.
1. This is happening in Europe is, which is the place where they are already losing market share

2. If they agree to open their network in some markets, the rest of the world will soon demand the same.
Your comment reminds of me of this. If in the future medicines/technologies are invented to get rid of people's impulses to hurt one another (as in Stanislaw Lem's Return from the Stars), but in doing so, people also lost the impulse to take risks, would you be for or against such technology? Neither side is wrong.

Anyhow, I think it's a well-known fact that Tesla's rise is due to their innovation in both hardware and software (Technology). Their Supercharger network (Infrastructure) surely is also ahead of their competitors by a wide margin.
> 1. Do you expect the opt-in nature of these studies to impact their findings?

The Rally participant population is not representative of the U.S. population—these are users who run Firefox (other browsers coming soon), choose to join Rally, and choose to join a study. In research jargon, there's significant sampling bias.

For some studies, that's OK, because the research doesn't depend on a representative sample. For other studies, researchers can approximate U.S. population demographics. When a user joins Rally, they can optionally provide demographic information. Researchers can then use the demographics with reweighting, matching, subsampling, and similar methods to approximate a representative population. Those methods already appear throughout social science; whether they're sufficient also depends on the study.

> 2. To compensate for the voluntary nature of the studies, do you think researchers in general will still be incentivized to find data sources that are less respectful of people's privacy and don't require an opt-in to the study?

Rally is designed to provide a new research capability that didn't exist before. I don't expect a substitution effect like that.
But I found it :-)
I think it has to do with a battery tech/manufacturing agreement between tesla and Panasonic.
Why would you completely exit a winning trade that you have more insight into than most people since you’re the sole supplier of the primary component in the thing if you thought it was going to have a higher ROI than other investments?

… you wouldn’t.
In reply to the other comment accusing me of “blatent falsehoods”, I already showed my claim was supported and that a quick google would show that. Your comment came about half and hour after I provided that support.

Please do not attack users and ignore their replies that already show that the attacks are unjustified.
Thanks, I'll check that out! I'm starting to transition from Babylonian astronomy to Greek astronomy, but my plan after that is to go through the astronomy of non-Western cultures: Indian, Chinese, Mayan, Aboriginal Australian, among others. That looks like a really helpful resource for those cultures.
It started out used seriously on right-wing YouTube and forums, but it probably is the case that right-wing use of it is now self-consciously imitating the parodic use of it by the left, so by now it's irony all the way down.

[EDIT] downvoters: is this wrong? My perception was that "own" was originally (in a political context—its roots are in gaming, of course) used as a fairly ordinary headline/title intensifier to get more clicks, mostly on the right (for that particular word—everyone plays with language to get more clicks, of course), that parodic use on the left followed, and I'm guessing that its continued use on the right is with some awareness of the way it's been mocked on the left, so has likely changed the intent with which it's employed.
I'd love to learn this but get sleep paralysis for 30-60 seconds at a time for like an hour (i have no way of knowing how long the intervals are but that's what it feels like) every time I do - has anyone overcome this?
Hi, I'm bagira/phanes. The only networks I've ever been banned from are OFTC and Freenode, most of which is recent.

I admire your courage, anonymous liar on the internet.
Thanks for posting this. I had initially wondered how, if not through this process, you were supposed to fix minor stuff like comments and error messages.

>I'm not saying cleanup is not important, in fact we have routinely cleanups of typos/grammar for btrfs. (And I guess mostly caused by myself?)

>Please at least merge all those small fixes into a larger patchset, and with a good cover letter to explain the reason (and auto-tool to do the change if possible) for all the involved maintainers, so that all of us are on the same page.
Just finished a Udemy course on Rust, and now I'm going through the rust book.

Just taking it slower this time, doing ALL the examples and trying stuff for myself.

It's going way better than my first attempt about a year ago.
I should say, if you know ex ante that certain results are not worth acting on, then when you actually get those results ex post, you should ignore them just the same. So actually running a test cannot formally be the problem.
On desktop, meanwhile, it apparently assumes that you're using one maximized browser window. If you aren't, eg, if you're using half of a 16:10 screen, it pops up an enormous modal overlay warning you that you're on a mobile device and should visit the site on a desktop. Apparently, the only detection mechanism it uses is browser width.
From my understanding, commercial grows all use LEDs. You can roll your own and buy 50w+ LED modules, old CPU coolers and constant current inverters to get as high-end as you want.

A lot of the all-in-one “grow lights” aren’t well evaluated, but I’m sure some out there get the job done.
