No. The shares you’ll receive after exercising almost always have transfer restrictions. To sell or otherwise transfer them, you’ll almost always need the company’s permission.

Some companies are okay with it, others aren’t, others decide on a case-by-case basis or have specific requirements (like not increasing the size of the cap table). Read the options agreement and then ask the company, all before exercising (and potentially incurring a taxable gain). If possible, do all of this well before leaving.

(What you’re describing is closer to publicly-traded securities, which you mostly can “do as you please with” in terms of dispensation.)

> Their advertising sends people to dedicated landing pages where they can be tracked through the site and measured if they convert.

But how much of this is selection bias and how much of it is really having an impact? This reminds me of
https://thecorrespondent.com/100/the-new-dot-com-bubble-is-h...

>Economists at Facebook conducted 15 experiments that showed the enormous impact of selection effects.
A large retailer launched a Facebook campaign. Initially it was assumed that the retailer’s ad would only have to be shown 1,490 times before one person actually bought something. But the experiment revealed that many of those people would have shopped there anyway; only one in 14,300 found the webshop because of the ad. In other words, the selection effects were almost 10 times stronger than the advertising effect alone!

Sure you can measure clicks and how many convert, but that does not necessarily measure the effect of the ad. I think most of the time the true effect of an advertisement is usually unknown (what is the difference in outcome of using the ad vs not using the ad?) and I suspect that in a large number of cases the impact of advertising is significantly overestimated. Perhaps people won't find out until they are forced to cut back on ad spending then they might realize that it isn't as important as they thought.

> exactly the other way around when it comes to work and I wonder why.

Telework isn't ideal, but it offers us a chance to break the big city real estate hyperinflation trap. If all good jobs must be concentrated in SF, NYC, LA, and Seattle, then the choice is "no jobs or unaffordable real estate, pick one." Either way you lose. Everyone loses except property owners in those cities (who bought before the inflation).

Long term my hope is that telework and diaspora lead to re-nucleation of talent centers in lots of places all over the country, a reversal of the geographic consolidation trend of the past 20-30 years.

Of all industries, this is the one we would expect to be at the forefront of geographic de-consolidation. We could, you know, actually use this Internet thing we built.

I like this idea. I don't think it would be jarring if the read-ahead buffer was a minimal number of lines, i.e. looking like distinct pages. The default could be at least the line height of the terminal, or some multiple.

There could be an option to redisplay the header row for resized "pages".

There could be a CLI switch giving the user control, i.e. make everyone happy.
If you’re interested in this sort of thing you might want to look at Dolt (for sharing databases in a git-like way) and Pijul, which records diffs explicitly, rather than calculating them on the fly.

I’m aware of the arguments against Popper’s ideas, but I don’t see how that connects to the malign activities the article’s author tries to make it responsible for. The argument takes a leap from Popper was wrong to neoliberals suck without sufficiently connecting the two. Would neoliberalism never have happened without Popper? Seems unlikely. Would all those malign consequences be fine if falsificationism was, in fact, correct? Why should we prefer a more socialist approach to science instead of say, a Christian approach that would also foreground ethics. Plus, Popper was hardly the first person to argue that science is value neutral. Thinkers have been saying that since the enlightenment.
Admittedly the United States' rollout wasn't optimally efficient, and they prioritized American lives early on (before we knew exactly how mass vaccination would play out, mind you--much of your criticism benefits from hindsight). But it's unfair to criticize the US for prioritizing American lives over foreign lives when it's doing far more than all other countries combined to minimize the loss of foreign lives. I could spin that into a divisive shot at Canada or the EU as you've done with America (and I think I could make a much more compelling case), but I don't see the point in being divisive when we have nothing to gain and everything to lose from it.

Yes, the early days of COVID vaccination were predictably rocky. What's the excuse today for not working together to vaccinate the world?

This is not just a scrum problem. Any agile process eventually reports to a layer of management that doesn't think in agile terms, and wants their PERT charts or whatever. The impedance mismatch at that boundary is one of the biggest difficulties with implementing agile.

I think there's this expectation that online/computer based education would reduce/eliminate teachers and allow for mostly unsupervised learning, and I just don't see how that would work for reading and especially writing.

Maybe reading, a bit, because a lot of people will get most of the way there with learn by example and a couple check ins. And then lots of practice.

Writing seems difficult to computerize. And having a classroom full of students doing roughly the same thing seems a lot less labor intensive than each student at their own pace with a teacher available with enough context to appropriately critique and encourage and provide useful resources.

The arithmetic portions of elementary mathematics seem a lot more amenable to computerization. The computer can easily judge the answers, and while it takes a lot of time and practice to master some of the skills, the breadth of skills is really not that deep, so there's not a whole lot of context that needs to be considered when help is needed. I don't know that this still holds at higher level math, but there's parts that might. On the other hand, group instruction can allow for peer assistance with tricky things which may help both parties understand the material more.
> the weekly fuel consumed is exactly the same

That assumes people fill up every week. Not everyone does, it really depends on the amount of driving they do and size of their tank.

> Of course a nation of half-full cars suddenly filling them to the brim demands much more fuel during the (short) period of time over which they make that transition, but that shouldn't create an expectation of drastically increased future _consumption_ of fuel.

Isn't that what's being stated? That there's no actual industry shortage, just a short term shortage and demand spiked unexpectedly for a day or two but to such a degree that the normal per-station reserves and delivery cycle was unable to cope? The expected result would be that the following days or even weeks (to a lesser degree) would see reduced demand, since it's less an increase or decrease in demand overall but really just a shift of some future demand to the present.
So, one of Ozy's top two executives impersonated a senior YouTube executive, apparently using voice-modification technology, to answer questions in a due diligence phone call initiated by Goldman Sachs, who was considering investing $40M in the company.

First of all, wow. That takes a lot -- a lot -- of chutzpah. And a lot of arrogance too.

Second, Ozy's board of directors described this reckless con as a "mistake." Apparently the impersonator is still at Ozy. (Wait... What?)

Third, I'm reminded of the later stages of the residential mortgage market bubble, in which the zeitgeist was captured by the phrase "extend and pretend." The zeitgeist now may be best described as "fake it and pretend."

Again, wow.

Because both of these things impact them in different ways.

Remote learning means they are responsible for the upkeep of their children during the day. There are more demands on their time and resources.

Remote work means they are less beholden to their employers. There are fewer demands on their time and resources.

So "remote learning bad" and "remote work good" aren't opposing opinions if you realize that their opinion isn't about the nature of "remote" but about the demands on their time and resources.

And let's not forget that all day primary school is a relatively modern invention. All the talk about socialization and whatever, somehow children got that before the invention of school.

People who complain about "the politicization" of a topic are themselves engaging in politicization of the same. But trying to use the accusation as a cudgel to get their way. It's almost as if they've defined "politicization" as "not getting my way". I've hardly met anyone who seriously used a politicization argument in a good faith manner. Not to mention, it's not a good argument either. Whether or not something is contentious is hardly ever a factor in whether or not it should or should not be done.

I mean, there are other things in his post that are telling, but he's got a certain worldview and he's going to interpret whatever data that comes through, mix it with some personal anecdotes, and spice it up with what he intuits to be correct so that his predetermined conclusion is reached.

And about whether or not teachers enjoyed remote teaching, it was a challenge. I'm sure some enjoyed it, but it would vary by grade level and socio-economic factors.

So while there are plenty of children who probably lost a year of education (although depending on the grade level, catching up isn't much of an issue), with over 700,000 dead and counting even with the precautions we did take (among those who took them, of course), it's hard to say what the effect of putting all of these kids in school along with the attendant support staff would have been. Because there's way more opportunity for cross-contamination when you do that. Especially with families with members working in public-facing essential jobs. Anyone arguing otherwise is just playing hypothetical hindsight games.
Google does this so they have click tracking data. But they don't need to mangle URLs in Chrome because it supports the `ping` attribute on <a> tags [0].

The ping attribute basically adds click tracking as a native browser feature so you don't need to do URL redirects. It also makes these analytics much easier for the site and mysterious to the user. Looks like most vendors besides Firefox support it. (They were pretty opposed I recall)

If you're a Chrome user, there's some extensions that disable ping requests/link auditing [1]. (EDIT: a commenter noted that uBlock Origin already blocks these! So I recommend that over this obscure extension)

We really need to change the landscape at Alameda Naval Base, which is defunct and has a lot of opportunity for innovation to be created there. A lot of open space which could easily be used for vertical farming, Talapia Farming and Tiny Home Communities.

Years ago I was working with the city council to address zoning laws for plots of 'single-family' home zones - which required only one dwelling (as defined by one common main entrance) on a ~2500 SF lot. Upon which you could easily put more than one not-so-tiny-home.

But the city would not go back on their zoning requirements, just as they wouldn't go back on their decision to give full rights and authority over all broad band to comcast and outlawed municipal networks.

> You neeed to know what to simulate and what to ignore.

And often the fastest and most economical way to find out is to try doing it.

Also simulations need not be perfect to be useful. I spent a large fraction of my life writing object oriented simulations of transformers. We simplified everything (reduced detail, reduced number of dimensions, rules of thumb where there was no analytical formula) but still succeeded in designing better transformers than before.

The next generation will be more precise and even more useful but you can't always get there in one jump.

No, it is not true. You're misunderstanding how this works.

The document you link is using ssh as a transport protocol as opposed to the rsync protocol. The rsync binary must be installed on both systems for this to work.

When you run something like:

rsync file user@rhost:/dest/path

The local rsync binary invokes ssh, and then executes the rsync binary on the remote system and from there the two instances of rsync effectuate the transfer.

If you do not have rsync available in your path on the remote system you will not be able to copy files over ssh. This is documented in the manpage.

Try it.

How did I start it when you were the one who made a blanket statement that managers don't do "real work"?

I know we've been going on for a while, but surely you remember making that hyperbolic statement at the start?

I took the time to itemize the things that a manager actually does, more time than you spent just making a throwaway offhand comment about a whole profession.

I never took any shots at you, I only reacted to the words you wrote and gave you a different viewpoint, but you come back with shots at my skills, my experience, my career path, etc... you made it personal for no good reason.

A few years back...

Someone bought me a Sirius XM handheld unit for XMas. I hated it, used it for a few hours, cancelled the service, and returned the unit.

2 years later I get a several hundred dollar charge on a CC for another year or two of service of Sirius. I call up the CC company, and they say before I can file a dispute I have to call Sirius and try to straighten it out.

I call up Sirius, explain, I only owned the unit for a few hours and that I had cancelled. And the customer-service agent said, "I understand. We don't care, we're billing you anyways." and hung up.

I called the credit card company back, and they (probably) didn't believe me, but the agent said, "look, I'll put us on a 3-way call with Sirius, try and cancel your service again and I will listen and we will see what happens."

So I went through the same process again, and again Sirius literally said, "We understand you cancelled, there's nothing you can do."

After the call, the CC company agent (I think Discover) said, "These people are crazy, I will take care of this."

> 100 gallons of gas convert to a ton of CO2

Gasoline is about 87% carbon and 13% hydrogen by weight. And its density is around 700 kg/m^3. 100 gallons is 378.5 liters, which is 265.0 kg. That is 230.5 kg of carbon. C is 12.011 per atom, O is 15.999, thus that converts to 844.6kg, not a ton. Rounding up by >15% to make numbers more impressive is not nice when we are taking science

While this might solve the problem for the Google search engine it is but a patch to a bigger problem. Instead of applying this patch on each and every device you happen to use it is much more effective to refrain from using these search engines directly by using a meta-search engine like Searx [1]. This not only solves these obnoxious attempts at leaching a bit more data from you, it has an even bigger advantage: it shows search results from multiple engines, ranked in the way those engines present the results to an anonymous user. This often reveals interesting patterns by showing just how those who run these search engines either promote or demote relevant results for a given search. Google clearly prefers to show results from corporate media and established actors (e.g. Wikipedia) above those from non-affiliated sites, DuckDuckGo gives far more 'organic' results.
