I'd be fine with politicians being paid more if it was completely illegal (with prison time) for them or their partners to do this.

Seems like the system is built in a way that encourages them to insider trade and throw kickbacks around to maximize their wealth while in power and after.
I'm sure it's primarily because caffeine and theanine are culturally accepted and available cheaply over-the-counter. Modafinil is prescription-only (at least in the US), and speed/amphetamines are likewise illegal.

Instead of asking your doctor for psychoactive drugs or delving through the dark corners of the internet or dark corners of downtown alleys, you can get caffeine at Walgreens or Starbucks.
I disagree entirely. Markets are more effecient when these high information actors are allowed to interact with it.
That said, it should be far more transparent.
> leave those acquisition alone and let them do their work

Exactly the fate every casual commenter is hoping for with every acquisition of a decent company. Specifically in gaming. The companies keep calming the public down by promising they'll let the bought company work as before, which of course never happens—otherwise there'd be no reason for the acquisition.

(Waiting for Codemasters to turn into regular EA trash, here.)

If Salesforce found a way to make this very model work, that's great. Personally I've become too jaded to expect anything good from any acquisition.
Thank you for your reply- I know what you mean by "nowhere"- and actually that's a good way to put it. I was having a hard time articulating that myself but I agree- often my mind is "nowhere" instead of "elsewhere".

I'd suggest that Jeff Bezos is unlikely to pay a meaningful amount in taxes (in this case, meaning "relative to the action" rather than "relative to his overall wealth"), regardless of what he does.

I think they should be able to own an investment portfolio, but while they are in office (and perhaps after, if they engage in lobbying) it should be in a blind trust.
For as long as I can remember, the instructions from the official docs leads you into a REPL where you can start learning. Not sure what this "official tutorial" you are talking about, but as long as you get a REPL running, you should be able to get started.
There aren't really any absolute freedoms.

I can't decide my religion's core tenet is murder, nor can I artistically express myself via a mass shooting.

Similarly, I can't libel people as free speech, nor use a megaphone outside your house at 3am in most places. I can't demand a strip club accommodate a requirement I wear modest clothing as a dancer. etc. etc. etc.
Exactly, i find mental work close to impossible a few days after quitting caffeine. I can do social stuff to an extend and get manual labor stuff done, but not anything requiring initiative and self discipline.
I’d be interested in talking with you about a project I’m working on (forestry-related, not caffeine-related), if you’re open to it.

Recognize? Probably. But it's easy for courts to come procedure bound and even feel like they're doing you a favor, e.g. "I gotta do this by the book so its not overturned on appeal."
> Mindfulness and such are spiritual practices stripped of their philosophical roots

Mindfulness is only stripped of it's "philosophical" (read: spiritual) roots, if you strip them. Perhaps you are confusing commercialised "mindfulness" with mindfulness.
Because we’ve seen so many times that there are no consequences for this. Some people might get a bit mad, but it’s not like there are huge protests demanding change or cohorts voting out politicians who partake. If all politicians across the political spectrum also support it, what choice do people have at the polls?
Is the wire protocol copyrightable? If not, then this license only affects the _document_ itself, not downstream implementations that may _use_ the document.

And if there is a differently-licenses _implementation_ of the protocol, one would assume that it is possible to implement (or just use directly) that implementation without any reliance on this specific specification document.

In other words: IANAL but I don't think this will accomplish what they want (which is Amazon re-implementing a wire-compatible-with-MongoDB database)

As an example: I (probably) can't scan and redistribute an entire cookbook, but I can bake cookies from a recipe in the cookbook and sell them.
The old slogan used to be "Slick as Ruby, Fast as C" but I'm guessing that just invites people to constantly compare runtimes to C and be like "look! it's 50% slower when blahblahblah" when comparing 10ns to 15ns.

That said, I do think they should put the "why" in clear text. Ruby made no apologies for being a language "for the programer" while Crystal is meant to be a language "nice for the programmer with slick syntax and a modern type system AND compiles to very efficient bytecode that's comparable with C (at the cost of more time spent compiling to reach those goals)"

Sure, there are lots but I think it should be doable. Will probably try sometime. Easiest is to make a model that fixes the lengths of the words, and just run it for different word lengths.

It's pretty simple, they're humans, not mascots.

Do you think Comanches felt honored that eplanit in their summer camp won the hot-dog eating contest 'for' the Comanches?

Do you think a single Native will bat an eye if eplanit no longer wears an 'Apaches are strong' T-Shirt?

You want to honor the Natives? Do something that helps them legislatively, e.g. change the boundary conditions that would allow for houses to be bought and generational wealth be accumulated in Reservations.

And frankly, what people want their mascots to be is hardly the imperative here. It stops at the point when they choose real life human beings without consent and likely against their will. I don't understand what's so complicated about it.
Options are probably the most common mechanism for a person to leverage themselves. An out-of-the-money option will yield far more than simply buying a single share. That said, it's a lot more risky.
Because software developers selling software are (1) incentivized to offer lots of features, because different individuals and businesses have different needs, but also (2) not very strongly incentivized to either (a) make the program particularly easy to use/integrating those features well with each other (which is one thing you might be thinking of when you say "bloatware") or (b) make the program particularly performant (which is another thing you might be thinking of).

Open-source tools, while they might not always limit feature scope (e.g. Blender, Firefox, Emacs, Audacity, Krita) (although this isn't necessarily a bad thing), seem to be better at delivering good performance even for applications with larger feature-sets, partially because their developers are incentivized to optimize for performance due to their own pride.
Yes, they learn, and others might appreciate reading the papers too. But I'd rather steer creative students to solve real-world problems or build serious science, and they will learn more about what matters.
50 years of the index fund
My friend who worked at Skype at the time tells me the rebuild was because of the rise of mobile devices, and the limitations of mobile internet at the time. Skype's original architecture used peer to peer routing, ie network quality relied on there being always-on nodes in between the calling parties. Demand for mobile Skype grew, but no one wanted to use their expensive, limited bandwidth mobile internet to be a router in the Skype network. Not to mention, those mobile connections weren't stable enough to be useful for nodes anyway.

Hence the redesign around a client-server model, where MS could guarantee call quality a lot better, and which allowed for mobile to thrive.

None of which excuses the UI of course, or problems with the back end. Or lync, or any of the other problems. But it does give some context.
What do you mean by ‘artificially faster’?
> Later I discovered CoreWar [2] and enjoyed that until I learned all of the main classes of algorithms/bots had been identified.

The evolvers sometimes break the bomber-scanner-paper stereotype. They just don't scale well to normal sized cores.

I wonder if one could make a better ML system than genetic programming for creating CoreWar warriors. Perhaps a neural net connected to a differentiable SAT solver?
My understanding is that this is the scientific consensus as the main contribution with climate change as an exaserbating effect. Most media coverage focuses on the latter for more clicks.

The mismanagement in this context is a century long policy of extinguishing natural fires and not letting nature 'run its course'.

The policy was briefly lifted in the 60s or 70s do to overwhelming scientific opposition, but reinstated due to public outcry after a few iconic locations burned.

The wikipedia below has some basic starting information, but generally whitewashes history, suggest that policy was corrected in the 80's. IF you dig deeper, around 100,000 acres were allowed to burn per year on federal land in the 90's and 2000's, which is far too low.

You, see, that's a culture problem right there...

Someone shared modafinil with me once. The effect is crazy.

> I don't think anyone has a solution as to what to do with online publications

Subsidize it, and even not necessarily by the government. Think of it as a non-profit run/owned by someone who makes money on something else, it's not like every single human activity has to be organized from the commercial motivation for it to be decently performed.

Getting to the moon and Mars won't save the human race, Earth is where life can be sustained. Humans cannot reproduce in space, on the moon or on Mars because gravity has a strong and vital role in gestation in mammals. Beyond that, these other locations are quite inhospitable (radiation, temperature, pressure, etc), more inhospitable than pretty much anywhere on Earth.

If we can't make it work here and end up destroying the ecology of Earth, upon which we depend, there's no reason to think we'll survive on the moon or Mars.
Yup. I have come to realize that not seeing any dissenting opinions is scary and terrifying. So thanks for being charitable in this pursuit. There are a lot of ideas on HN that get no pushback and mob mentality that I want to challenge and contest. I don't think tax filing process is that bad but it is magnetizing to say "I filed my taxes while on a bus on a vacation" than to dig into the deeper implications of what that means.

To be honest, I objectively like Dutch system for simple taxes similar to 1040EZ form in USA. I philosophically and ideologically oppose it. And, furthermore, I have no faith in our government and its ability to run efficiently.
Currently the worst offenders are video chat services using old non-standard WebRTC implementation. But this should be resolved this year with its deprecation and most services hopefully moving to standard WebRTC implementation. As for other non-working websites, you can report those directly to Firefox, that way they might be able to fix those.
I'm not saying their way of government is superior in all aspects. I feel disheartened because it feels like the US has lost the ability to actually execute its goals successfully.
In my defense, I would usually only do five or ten pennies in one fare, and not on a busy route where it would back things up.

I did use snack machines to turn dimes and nickles into quarters at college though. Insert 25 cents, press coin return, get a quarter. Maybe go to 50 cents, but be sure to not put in enough to buy anything, or you'll have to. Snack machines took all worthwhile coins, but laundry machines were quarters only.
I remember Hillary Clinton doing that in 2016 with a single sabre-rattling tweet about the pharma industry.

The point of suicide is to end suffering, not commit to a happy predictable retirement. If you ever have a moment in your life that causes you to contemplate it, you'll understand. Otherwise, I personally don't believe people like you should be making decisions for those people who do. You have no understanding of what it feels like to consider that as actually being a rational thought.
It's the timing, not that they are popular stocks.
Great, actually. I've worked my ass off, paid-off my student loans and live in a great city. By no means making crazy developer money either.
Perhaps their regret is a significant contributor to their survival though.
> Right here is another argument in favor of string privacy protection. Even if NSO was a righteous and holy actor (spoiler: it's not), they can be hacked any time and now that data is public.

This doesn't show that we need strong privacy protection, this show that asking for privacy protection isn't enough and goes way beyond privacy protection. Even if you got GDPR in every first world country, NSO will still exist, intelligence gathering will still exist.

Zerodium exist for god sake, it's a public facing company to buy zero days. Even if you got both them and NSO shut down, believe me, others companies will do the exact same, they'll just do it more secretly.

Nah, if you click through a username, you can see where else they commented if they're logged in. And the chances of her leaving comments with that login at Breitbart / Drudge Report but not Gateway Pundit are so vanishingly small to not even consider.

But yeah, most of her really off-the-rails stuff was at properties the Nieman Labs guy didn't control so he couldn't delete, it seems like she wrote dumb nonsense on his page partially identifying herself and then he just clicked through to read the rest of her garbage she was writing all over the internet about every silly right-wing conspiracy theory du jour.

Matrix is open federation, like Email. IRC is closed federation, more like a database cluster or some other distributed service where all components are run by a single team.
Oh and looking more closely, this methodology is super poor (though I’m sympathetic to the challenge with the disclosure format).

Basically, by assuming that all the trades were the maximum of the range (and per trade), it’s overweighting the PayPal and Crowdstrike performance and downweighting the MSFT and GOOG “under performance” (they bought GOOG near the top?).

I don’t follow why most of the Feb 20 options aren’t being valued either. Those were the “scandalous” trades. And they were all (IIRC), 1-year out LEAPs or something. Seemed a reasonable thing at the time! (“People are panicking, buy now and assume it’s back to normal in a year”).

Has someone done a more careful analysis? (At the very least, I strongly doubt that the positions would be the same between the crowd strike and MSFT shares, and that the MSFT shares were purchased alongside the MSFT options as a hedge).

Edit: And umm, all the options trades are listed explicitly as the number of contracts purchased. So people can easily look up the VWAP or similar for the purchase date and get a real number...
All of CP, SAT, and ILP are much more advanced than guess and check, although there are never any guarantees.

> I'm really happy this stuff exists and is being enhanced, but the flexibility kinda adds a barrier to getting started

Clojure (seems to me at least) has always preferred to cater to professionals who want to learn languages, tools and concepts deeply rather than being quick to learn. So naturally, the ecosystem tends to lean towards simple tools you use as building blocks rather than one-size-fits-them-all ala Ruby on Rails. This does make it harder to get started with Clojure, but once you've taken the time you to learn everything, it really pays off.

On the Standard plan we don't take on any liability; but keep in mind that it's all git-based workflow with rollback to any state possible. And TF is mature enough to make glitches extremely unlikely. And we enforce least-privilege principle.

On the Enterprise plan we are more flexible, and you get things like PCI-DSS, SOC2 etc. We could also act as an "automated DevOps consultancy" with a legal arrangement similar to that of an agency (with liabilities on) but without actually providing services beyond enterprise-level support.
Yeah I'm specifically talking about the commercialised form.
But the reality is that competition really does drive innovation.

In the past few years we've seen SpaceX get reusable boosters working, a mission to the ISS, etc. Though people like to diminish blue origin's accomplishments due to not hitting orbit they were able to land their reusable booster on the first try too.

In a short amount of time we've seen tremendous progress in bringing down the costs of launching. It's frankly inconceivable NASA would do the same.

I have a few friends that have spent years at JPL and the amount of bureaucracy, waste, and red tape they had to deal with all went away when they started working at SpaceX and then Blue Origin.
