MBA here. Does not sound like hate but statement of fact. In my experience the US MBA and general management management teaching is very dollar-based in stark contrast to, say European management education. This will lead to extreme efficiencies and the M&A boom of the past few decades is probably linked to it as well. And it does not have to be the CEO: most practical daily decisions cutting all buffers for maximum efficiency are made by mid to upper management.
I don't see how the ruling helps.

1. The copyright holder can include a dummy clause in the contract that prohibits decompilation, except if there is a written permission from the copyright holder, or in cases where existing local laws permit it. This is sufficient to turn down the part of the law that applies only where there is no such clause.

2. The copyright holder can always claim that decompilation is never necessary for the user to have the errors in the program corrected, or to achieve interoperability. "Indeed, all the user had to do is to pay $1000000000 for UltraPremium support".

P.S. I am not a lawyer.
> The biggest differences are generally between rural and urban districts.

Huh. I would characterize this more like "suburban vs. everything else, with some urban exceptions".

City schools have extreme bifurcations depending on their inputs; Boston Latins and Lane Techs exist but are notable precisely because they're exceptions to the general rule that city school systems aren't great.

Suburban schools are generally OK. Never nearly as good as the local population seems to think, but whatever.

Rural schools are uniformly horrible (but at least not as bad as the bad side of the bifurcated urban schools).

At least, that's my understanding.
> I think it will be hard to applaud The United States for anything until they stop systematically oppressing their african-american population and quit terrorizing places like The Middle East for no reason.

I'm certainly not trying to advocate an anti-US or anti-China stance here, but your comment can easily be turned around by the CCP for the same reasons when it comes to criticism of their internal affairs.
Money disappearing from a bank account is a "comparatively minor failure"? Sorry, I stopped reading at that point.
I think (fear) you may be right about a lot of this. My worry is that if enough houses get bought up by large corporations there won't be the political will to let them fail or impose restrictions on them. The time to act seems to be now, and lord knows we don't do much of anything until the crisis point has already passed.
Your statement shows lack of understanding of how the modern corporation works.

The COO may have been there 30 years, and may lack an MBA, but increasingly it is this type of CxO that has been reyling upon MBAs and other consultants (operations research) to restructure the organization into an optimized-but-fragile state.

There’s a whole lot of suspicion that these kinds of zoning laws that are upheld by leftists are cynical—they really just want to protect their property prices. But I think the left really believe what they are doing in blocking liberalization is good for communities. They’ve gotten into this mode of thinking that markets can’t solve problems of resource scarcity. Markets aren’t perfect, but one thing they surely can do (if not impeded) is to efficiently match supply with demand.

If we wanted, homelessness could easily be ended with freer housing markets. Yes, some people would be living in very small, ugly, somewhat unsafe (though far safer than the streets), and fairly uncomfortable spaces, but it would certainly be better for everyone if it were legal to build those kinds of spaces.
Last month I was able to get some 4x8 sheets of 15/32 sanded plywood for $33/ea, went back to get more today from the same Home Depot, $45/ea. Prices are still out of wack.
It is true to some extent, but not all instructors at some universities are that good. You are probably experiencing a two-sided selection bias, since they (1) wouldn't upload a bad video and (2) you wouldn't follow something you are not interested in.

The main advantage of elite universities is the club effect. It makes such universities attractive for students, professors, and industry -- a nice circle.
Decades-old does not mean duct-taped. It means every edge case has been hit, it's rock solid, and it works. There are many patches on top of patches, and the system is hard to comprehend for someone new. But it's a heck of a lot more stable that something redesigned.

The real issue here, is during bad weather and understaffed ATC, for some reason the airforce decided to do some training in airspace used by commercial flights. This military training part in the article is mentioned quickly, then completely ignored.

This was the US Military causing delays, cancellations, and people getting stuck overnight at airports. This was the US Military causing huge operational and financial issues for one of the most customer-friendly airlines out there. And the did this while eating up millions of dollars that are taken out of our paychecks - that they used to screw us. Time for congress to remove the funds that allowed them to conduct this training at a time when it caused problems for the general population paying their salaries.
The discussion completely ignores basically all the potential confounding factors. Two huge ones are lockdown measures and level of testing.

Even in a largely vaccinated population, if you do widespread community testing you will find a lot of asymptomatic cases. If you don't do widespread community testing you won't. So you can have wildly different caseloads in two highly-vaccinated populations, yet no meaningful medical difference in the outcomes (since, as we know, vaccination is an effective prevention against serious illness and death).
Nutanix is strong contender for this use case. We see lot of workloads moving from Cloud to onprem on nutanix stack.

> It was never slow. The event loop is very performant compared to a language with a GIL and a culture of synchronous IO (looking at you, python and ruby), and V8 is amazing.

Having written a lot of code in both Python and JavaScript I disagree here. It's not really the GIL slows down Python compared to JavaScript, that's more down to the lack of a comparable JIT. Yes there's PyPy but it has received a fraction of the investment of V8 and Python is a more complex language to create a good JIT for. Support for multithreading (albeit without parallelism) may be one of a number of factors those complicating factors.

JavaScript doesn't need a GIL because it doesn't support multithreading. WebWorkers are more akin to Python's multiprocessing since objects are not shared between threads.

You have to be careful doing anything compute intensive (e.g. JSON.parse of a large blob of JSON) when using cooperative (async) rather than preemptive (threads) concurrency since you may inadvertently block the event loop, substantially increasing latency for other tasks. Handing off such tasks to a thread pool is harder in JS than Python since you can't easily deferToThread as you can in an async Python program.

Cooperative multitasking has its advantages too of course. An event loop provides a clear boundary for efficiently batching calls which can be awkward with synchronous code. Folks have been writing network servers and in Python using asynchronous techniques for decades now. Twisted is almost 20 years at this point and asyncore was added to the standard library even earlier.

This is only “a failure” if the loss from this is worse than all of the money they have saved over the years by running so lean.

This type of event is the obvious possible downside that is well known when you structure a company this way. It’s not that events like this aren’t expected, it’s that prepping for them costs more than the loss from not being able to absorb them.
Definitely agree with this. Sadly, it's become political suicide. Doing so would evaporate the housing market, and by extension, the Blackrocks and Berkshires.
In fairness, the new things tend to build on top of each other. You can get off and on the treadmill but it comes with a cost.

The website is still up and points to a fork on GitHub:

There are quite a few moving parts. I think I got stuck around just comprehending the networking bits.
This assumes that COVID-19 deaths are equally distributed across the entire population, regardless of obesity. Without evidence, it is not accurate to assume this equal distribution.
Got back from a weeklong trip to an EU nation and airline troubles are overblown. Only the mediocre airlines are having troubles adapting.
You might even say that without classes python would be a simpler language, while keeping almost all its power :)
I hear you and often I have a similar reaction—why does this person feel X when Y happens because I feel Z when Y happens, so it makes no sense for them to feel X.

So for you, those stressors may seem meaningless. However, to that person, those stressors may feel devastating. Likewise, some things that deeply impact you may seem trivial to them.

I, like you, would imagine that the "am I making payroll this month" would be a larger stressor on a CEO (I've never been one so I haven't been in that situation) than the volume of email I'd receive, and yet I can also imagine the payroll stress is relatively infrequent where the email stress may be a nagging drag, bringing with it incessant uncertainty of 1) whether what I say in an email will be posted to Twitter or used against me in 10 years, 2) news that rockets the company or tanks it, or even 3) an email that notifies me I won't make payroll this month.

I dunno. I say this to you as much as to myself to remind me that while we might all feel very similar emotions, sometimes we attribute very different causes to those emotions.

*edit: and remembering this and actually accepting that other people have different emotional responses to the same stimuli than I do is one of the things that confuses and frustrates me the most.
Groups of chimpanzees are often led by the strongest one. They are also often not led by the strongest one - you can take over the group by forming a coalition to depose the current leader.

I don't have kids, but I do pay property taxes, which largely contribute to schools. I also pay federal taxes that contribute to child tax credits, etc. So, my contributions are not offset by costs of children I do not have. I do not complain. If you've brought kids into the world, then you have a responsibility. I help pay some of those costs even though I don't have kids. I don't think that is unfair and I don't begrudge, because it helps raise a healthy society. But please don't cast my life choices as selfish just because I made a different choice.
This is a lot of words that say absolutely nothing.

I was thinking more about client/interactive software.

For server applications handling many requests in parallel anyways, it's a different story.
And then when the childless people stop doing all of that they are dependant on the children of others (or immigrants!)

Only in the rarest of cases is an amount of individual effort going to out value the benefit of bringing another productive person online.

We really need some sort of immigration platform for sponsorships etc, like why cant I import a few domestic helpers and just feed/clothe/house them.

Basically the only legal way to do that is by having children.
Even in a location with a high vaccination rate, I know that a lot of local stores are having issues not just finding staffing but 'COVID' cases are apparently very high.

There seems to be a lot of reluctance to get the vaccine among the young, at-will employed despite the downside of being out of work if they test positive.
Not sure there are any conclusions to draw from this information tidbit. Nordics halted Moderna, true, but Pfizer is offered instead of Moderna.
> The price is determined by the intersection of supply and demand. With a bull market in real estate, demand is greater than supply.

These two sentences cannot simultaneously use the same meanings of the words "supply" and "demand". In the sense of supply and demand required by the first sentence, the second is gibberish.

> In the extreme, market prices converge to the maximum loan as GP described.

What is the maximum loan? Prices cannot converge to "the maximum loan" because there is no such value. Different people can obtain different quantities of financing.

You are in a golden age, everything is exciting. Pick an object and look how it's changed since the internet.

Just the other day I was talking farming gate latches. 30 years ago they were all unique. Now they are all the same.... Sure that's sad in a lot of ways. But also it's exciting we are hitting peak everything. It's a bad example because there was a lot of art in a gate latch.

But I think war drones are exciting.

They will kill a lot of people but now small states and groups can have a lot of power. The world will fragment a lot. Which is interesting.

There is currently a major outage at a major part of the infrastructure of our nation, and nobody believes anybody about why.

The airline is saying it's something to do with weather, but somehow they're the only airline effected.

Everybody online seems to the think it's some sort of labor strike, but the union denies this and nobody can find anywhere where people are planning this.

And yet thousands of people are stuck in airports all over the country right now.

It just seems like something is going on, and that everybody is lying about it. Can't say I've ever really seen anything like this, and it genuinely freaks me out.

And it's the same here. Where 12oz of coffe at walmart can cost you $3-20, hamburger buns can cost you $3-20 depending on brand and price, and chocolate can be had for under a dollar, what the OP states tells us literally nothing.

My toothpaste at walmart is $1 for a 6.5oz tube. My old shampoo is currently 88c for 12oz. The one I switched to - nioxin, is $20 for 16oz.

Things at the grocery store are dirt cheap in the US compared to any country in Europe. And the salaries are more. Unless we're talking Ukraine and friends, where carrots and potatoes are pretty much free (while meat is of lower quality and higher price). But they're definitely much, much cheaper than where you are. Hand-trimmed chicken breast, without the rib meat, is $2/lb. Electronics - your price number in EUR is our number. But in USD.

The median sales price. But this doesn't mean home values went up that much, and if you look at home value measures, they went up less. Median sales prices went up more because of a shift of which homes were actually moving on the market.

It's not really a judgement it's just reality. Life / functional society at it's core is a pyramid scheme. If you don't have a downline your contributions are almost always dwarfed by your withdrawals. Parents pay all the same fees as you do now and in the future their children will pay them too, whereas at some point childless contributions stop.
My wife went to the hospital with a mild case. She’s pregnant and had a monoclonal antibody infusion. We went home and she immediately developed a fever/chills/shakes when she hadn’t had any before.

So back to the hospital we went, just in case it was a reaction. They gave her some IV fluids and sent us home after 2 hours.

So there’s one. I bet a good portion of them are people freaking out once they realize they have it as a considerable portion of the population thinks the survival rate is ridiculously low.
English is much more widely spoken (as a second language) around the world than Chinese, and people are exposed to plenty of positive media about the US (e.g., Hollywood movies, TV shows). Even in China, people are exposed to a ton of positive media about the US. Until Trump, I would even say the US was widely admired within China.
Oh yeah, my chromatic tuner is set to 440 hz. My guitar stays in pretty good tune to my ears at least but I would retune it with the tuner if playing with other instruments for sure or if it were to get out of tune (never seems to). When I change strings I do check my intonation too. Pretty easy to set on stratocasters. I think a lot of guitars especially are not set up well and intonation is probably off even if the open strings are in tune.
This would be illegal. You have credibly expressed an intention to murder someone. However, if during your trial you could somehow prove that you had planned not to actually harm anyone, that would certainly reduce the severity of the crime.

Expressing a credible threat of violence is a crime in most countries, I believe.
Except that it is not that simple and that a lot of things that people are taught in ECON101 is wrong, oversimplified to a fault, or biased by an ideology or another.

Assuming that printing money automatically leads to inflation is assuming a lot of things such as all actors constantly making decisions based on the total supply of money, factories running at 100% of their capacity, the money being reinjected into the real economy and a ton of other over simplifications.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no serious work proving the existence of a direct cause-effect relationship between money printing and inflation in the real world. (Using historical data instead of an oversimplified model)

Actually, the euro zone increased its money supply by 5 since the 2000s, prices have only been multiplied by 1,4.

Hyperinflation is a different story, but those things are not caused by printing a few trillions.
