Shorting requires a liquid market and a way to obtain shares (my understanding is that a common way is to 'borrow' shares from, say, investment funds, and to pay interests on this loan).

Pre-IPO startups, like all private companies, are not traded on any markets. They are private companies with shareholders and shares transactions are thus done 'manually' so to speak (you need to go out there and find a buyer, negotiate face to face, then handle the paperwork and payment).
"The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by 'God' one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity."

This topic certainly does bring out the shittiest commentary on this site, both in tone and content.

Congrats on making an income I could have only dreamed of as a college kid.

I've made very little money and FAANG-like money in my career. It has nothing to do with the difficulty of the work, the impact, or the hiring process. It's purely how badly the company wants "top" talent and the extent to which they want to / have to use money as a magnet.
Yep, that could definitely be: especially since i started work as a student, before getting either my Bachelor's or Master's. I guess i can only say that the wisdom of needing to job hop every X years is certainly based in reality, at least when it comes to the majority of companies and earning potential.
I've documented a few of the alternatives, including Carbon, on my website if you're interested.

Well the message basically is ; this is bad and should be illegal.
I assume the republicans have money as well so they could do the same if they so wish. Saying no one should do it, therefore sounds reasonable.

And as for the source, reading from Europe I must say I don't really see that much unbiased news/articles anymore not here and certainly not in the U.S. Everything political seems to have a leaning to it - left or right so there is from my pov no good unbiased sources.

Or maybe you could point me in the direction of the list over approved sites? :)
> And aerospace engineers are dirt cheap.

I suspect you're letting your software world experience dictate your expectations of what engineering is all about, and what it takes to actually get work done.

Software development is a rare field where the only relevant resource is man hours. In other fields, including aerospace engineering, trained meat bags tend to have a negligible cost to the point where replacing a whole engineering team might be a minor inconvenience. However, crashing a prototype is a project killer due to cost alone.
>especially as a friend at Oculus suspected people’s video is uploaded as part of data sets for training the tracking algorithms

How would this even be useful as part of a dataset? The official story is that Oculus created the dataset for Oculus Insight by also using OptiTrack to also track the HMD and controllers to create a ground truth of what be the actual location should be. For robustness certain Oculus employees took this setup home to capture data in various environments. Being able to test changes to your tracking algorithm and see how close you get to what it should be is clearly useful. Recording videos from random people seems much less useful.

The park variant doesn't really care about team sizes and it scales nicely from 3 people per side up to ridiculous number of people per side.

Plus it's a sport that combines well with alcoholic lubricants and Summer days.

I know it's older (1500s!) so doesn't seem to be as modern as something like Baseball, but it's OSS (everyone in the park applies their own rules) and scales nicely.
Never heard about Steve Ballmer saying this but I always believed this was (or became at some point) the plan. 100% of SOHO users pirated MS DOS, Windows and Office in Eastern Europe before broadband Internet became widely available. Then legal pressure on small business started so they began buying licenses as Windows and Office have already became the standard.

What I never understood though is why did Microsoft (or anybody else) invest in all this activation bullshit anyway. The only things working always were reasonably affordable pricing of legal copies, legal enforcement risk coming from the local police and the value of commercial support. All the software mechanisms of licensing enforcement have always been cracked and stopped no one. If I were to release commercial software I would only put a simple (no actual anti-crack protection at all) offline serial check to stop the most stupid and unmotivated people, everyone else will get a crack (which will inevitably emerge if the app actually is of any value) anyway.
Father, Mother and Son are occult terms with standard meaning: father means spirit, the immutable and unreal principle behind reality; mother means undifferentiated matter in its most prototypical form; son is the mix of the two, i.e. the spirit causes that proto-matter to assume meaningful forms, all those atoms, etc. Also, the "Word" is a particular way that process is initiated. The bible has lots of mysterious gems that are difficult to decipher even if you know the terminology, but that's certainly not one of those.

Damn. I know you don't know me, but this is unnecessarily condescending and off the mark. I'm very well aware of everything you mentioned. Maybe I was unclear. My confusion is about the extent of misunderstanding and willful misrepresentation of the idea, not about the resulting outrage.

Your explanation is a great example -- if you want to look at the idea exclusively in those terms, that sure sounds problematic. But do you really think that's the only way it could have played out? Keep in mind, we are living in a system that causes massive aggregate harm to underrepresented people on a daily basis. And I'm just referring to the tech industry and particularly its hiring practices, let alone society as a whole.

Killing a new idea just because you can conceive of scenarios where it might be harmful (though I would argue not even that much more harmful than the status quo in this case) is probably unwise in general, but is almost certainly so in a space where the status quo is already so fraught. I work in this space, we need more/better ideas (among many other things), and I think this idea actually had a plausible chance of putting a dent in some of the problems at the core of these systemic issues. Sure, it's a small chance, but to just throw it away? That bums me out.

Edit just to be clear: I have no idea who the people behind this site are and had never heard of it before day. I just work on some of the same problems and would love to see the system improve more quickly.

This can only happen on a browser where you haven't visited Google before, right?

I know what you are trying to say, but for many people outside the US, Facebook is a foreign tech company. What makes US nationals any better in safeguarding sensitive data/access about the companies customers than people from UK or Canada or Germany or Norway or Australia or New Zealand etc?

Should a tech company silo its data and operations so each country has its own independent unit? No, too infeasible and defeats the purpose for a lot of their services.

No, Emre gets to do what they like.

The fundamental problem here is people and companies have got used to the idea they can get huge amounts of software for free, and expect it to be high quality and well maintained.
There are multiple plugins that do each of those things. There's no need to build it into the core product.

I'm not a big fan of wordpress but am running it anyway for our corporate website (I'm the CTO) because it hits the good enough mark and it is just not worth my time trying to come up with something better.

The big advantage of the current setup: I don't have to micromanage it beyond making sure we have backups and the site stays up and running. Our sales and marketing people manage the content and I don't have to babysit them. Win, win for me because I have more interesting things to do then maintaining a website.

The downside: it's PHP and security vulnerabilities are a constant risk and worry with that. I just checked we are up to date and don't have this caching plugin installed. However, we have a constant stream of opportunistic bot traffic trying to exploit pretty much every vulnerability ever for wordpress, php, and php related tooling that we aren't even running. So, I'm more than a bit paranoid about any hypothetical way in.

Your comment boils down to a false dilemma fallacy between "FAA blindly trusts manufacturers" and "FAA conducts their own testing and validation." Clearly they could have been more actively reviewing stuff coming from Boeing, or engaging in some level of auditing.

If the FAA had paid attention they would have seen a company desperate to compete modifying numerous basic characteristics of an airplane to the point of making it aerodynamically unstable, using a flight control system as a bandaid to fix this.

Not to mention being such massively cheap assholes that they literally didn't install warning lights in the cockpit to tell the pilots when the sensor their flight computer would use to override control inputs, had failed.

I appreciate your attempt to move the goal post and gaslight, but it's already readily apparent that you're very confident in your misunderstanding and misconceptions, and very resilient to their clarifications and corrections. You're free to learn about the basics of design patterns if you'd like but until then I see no point in continuing this discussion.
It seems like a statement like this cannot be made without first giving a definition of God. Clearly, people have different ideas of what God is.

So either you are saying there is no evidence for one particular definition of God, but you are not giving us the definition or you are saying there is no evidence for any of the different definitions of God that might exist. The latter is a difficult argument to make in my estimation, because any one person is probably ignorant about a sizeable portion of definitions.
It's a tradeoff. Switch to Python and watch your serialization code become at least 10x slower at runtime.
In my experience, something else happens - someone moves abroad to set up foreign office, then jumps ship to a competitor to set up a foreign office for them too.
> If you're a European developer and underpaid, are you going to start your own company to do the same work but sell it yourself and take all the margin?

It depends on the country and the government there, i'd say, as well as how technologically advanced they are. Here in Latvia, it's actually not too hard - you just need to fill out a couple of forms, take care of the starting capital and payments and then you'll be registered as a company. In addition, there are various types of companies, to support small startups as well: https://www.ur.gov.lv/en/register/

That said, i believe that taxes and such are a tad overcomplicated in most countries, though there probably are a few good arguments against making most of the bureaucracy a bunch of online forms with prepopulated data, with which i may or may not agree.

Of course, for many, other aspects of actually running a company are what cause difficulty - everything from doing sales to marketing, as opposed to just writing code and architecting technical solutions.

I Getting Pemament banned from Reddit because of learning disabilities
I am not sure why I was permanently banned from reddit and the subreddit R/relationship advice and I keep getting hate comments every time I post about my issues with dating and being single. I even received hateful messages because I do not want to date a single dad. In addition, I tried to reach out to the mods, but they did nothing but banned me again from another account. They made an excuse and I asked why I was banned from subreddit and reddit. I deleted the accounts. Despite the fact that I did nothing wrong, they kept banning my account. I make a lot of questions and I always delete them. How is this not spam?

> In my opinion, code is nicest when it is written communication. When it is almost the same as teaching someone about a problem domain.

In a way, code is "teaching" the computer how to do some specific task in some specific problem domain. Fortunately, we know how to do that; it's what we do all day. It's just that the computer is a very dumb pupil, so it needs everything explained to it in detail. OK, no problem, so we explain in detail. We know how to do that too; that's still what we do all day.

The next thing is, the computer is very literal-minded, has an excellent memory, and no imagination or sense of "the whole picture". It has absolutely no problem with us calling everything "i, j, k..." and "x, y, z..." But people do; in that sense we're pretty much the opposite of the computer. If only we could remember to call everything something more precise than "i, j, k..." and "x, y, z," the same "explanation" -- our code -- would be much more comprehensible to humans, too, and work as communication not just with the computer but with other people, including ourselves at some later time. (Albeit a rather tedious and detailed explanation, since most humans aren't as dumb as the computer.)

That's (probably, IMO, at least in large part) why "Naming things is the most important problem in computing".

Given that the engines were moved forward changing the Centre of Mass I would expect an Aerospace Engineer to be aware and concerned that this is an issue that would require an automated intervention to correct for that, and that would need to be extremely robust.

In hindsight that’s easy for me to say, and the FAA had gone to relying on Boeing engineers, but as mentioned if there was huge pressure for Boeing to compete things could get overlooked.

> For the record (just to clarify the overall context), the traditional conception of God, in the Catholic view, is not anthropomorphic. From metaphysical analysis, God is the Ipsum Esse Subsistens, the Subsistent Act of Existing Itself[0].

You may say that God is the Ipsum Esse Subsistens but if you then say that Ipsum Esse Subsistens is jealous, merciful, leader of heavenly armies... which is the traditional conception of God in the Catholic view then we most certainly are talking about an anthropomorphic conception of God.

Oh sorry I didn't mean it at all like that; not condoning doing shady things at all! Slightly more ethical !== the other one doing shady/bad things. What I wanted to point out is that, people normally overestimate the impact they can have in a social cause and underestimate the impact some $ well situated can have.

To put an example with Open Source, Amazon is pretty bad considered, while e.g. Red Hat is "one of the best".

But I don't mean those extremes, I mean more mundane companies. Let's compare say Apple (neutral-ish?) and Stripe (neutral-to-slightly positive) (note: about Open Source!!). What do you think would have better impact in the OSS ecosystem, to work at Apple for $300k and donating $125k to open source projects, or to work at Stripe getting paid $175k and not donate anything?

Start with some thinking, designing and specifying, then start implementing from that -- but remember to take the time for some more thinking, designing and specifying throughout the process going forward.

We did do all of the things that "real" baseball requires, and guess what – it's just mind-numbingly tedious and boring to play. You tend to spend a lot more time obsessing over what exact equipment and dimensions to use, when your competitors are having fun and getting exercise by just running around the park.

(Since all of the other comments seem to be about sports or writing [1], I should point out that this seems to be an analogy about not doing "real" Agile by one of the authors of the Agile Manifesto.)

Blender is an absolute massive collection of interrelated functionality. It's mental that they managed to make it all work so well.
