Well, I think the point is that issuing more stock already shows up in the earnings per share data so there is not a good reason to double count it.

A company that issues stock to employees is not losing money, what it's doing is transferring some wealth from one group of shareholders to a different group of shareholders.

This hurts the bottom line of the first group and helps the bottom line of the second, but it does not hurt the balance sheet of the company.

Likewise if a company votes to give a special dividend to a preferred stock and reduce the dividend to common stock by the same amount, then this hurts one group of shareholders over another, but it does not cause the company to incur a loss.

And as the company's balance sheet is unchanged. its income statement should not be changed either.

The flipside is to believe that the balance sheet should be changed because the liability increases by the amount of new stock. This is false because the liability has to be valued at market value and shareholder issuance only dilutes the value of an individual stock, it does not increase the shareholder equity.

This treatment where GAAP rules misvalue the change to liability from share issuance rears its head when valuing share buybacks. Here too, they are valued at the purchase price, which creates all sorts of misvaluation problems for firms and creates the opportunity for mismanaging of corporate funds by purchasing shares high and selling them low, which really should result in a loss for the company, but according to the GAAP rules there is no loss because the equity is valued by the purchase price/price at grant and does not take into account the market price.

So from this one bad rule comes other misvaluations that distort the balance sheet of a company and impede financial analysis. And all of this stems from a desire to discourage corporate behavior in share issuance rather than from a desire to accurately value the company.

So I'll go by the non-GAAP figures.
I'm interested why you expect that. I suppose you expect that of anyone and not just juniors? I suspect that you don't work at $BIG_CO and rather something more startup-y?

If a company expects me to spend my free time doing investigative social engineering work to cut through layers of indirection from a job advert to the interviewer, it's an auto-reject for me. The company should at least care enough about hiring someone to understand that they're selling their team and company "culture" (for lack of a better word) to me as much as I am selling my labour to them.

I guess I would totally not have been hired by you :)
you're right. I think I should have clarified, waking up in a pitch black environment is the real issue, not necessarily the absence of natural light. I still think you want ambient light from outside as opposed to switching a lamp on in the inside of the room. This was my personal experience though so I could be wrong.

I feel pretty strongly that data would back up my anecdotal experience though... not willing to take the time to look it up though so i'll stay out of the conversation from now on.
Regarding the joystick !ouse control the way GPD did it was a bit different from your typical "joystick cursor with acceleration" it was more limited linear speed and if you wanted to go faster you held a certain shoulder button. The l and r main shoulder buttons were left and right click and the remaining shoulder button was middle click (or something like this). In that way you had access to do all of the things you would do on a mouse and the speed control was very reactive rather than hoping you hit enough strength on the right portion of an acceleration curve or anything like that.

The touchpad isn't bad but it's much more difficult to do certain normal desktop mouse related things like most small track pads are. Particularly when it comes to actions combined with wide motion such as click and drag select then right click.
Space-adjacent seems like a subcategory that will eventually fall under the "space" umbrella as well. There's a massive amount of terrestrial infrastructure (digital and physical) that will be needed to facilitate all the upcoming orbital activity. Services like constellation management, procurement, pad construction, material handling, etc., will all likely count startups among their ranks in large numbers. All that to say nothing of "actual" space tech.

There are certain bottlenecks that have developed based on our use of space in the last half century as well. I'm definitely biased here (working on such a problem), but abstracting some of our space-based capabilities to other existing and established formats will free up some much needed room and support bigger endeavors. It is and will continue to be a very complementary industry IMO.
That’s true for most adjustments. Buffett also suggests investors ignore income statement effects of marking securities to market.

“I must first tell you about a new accounting rule – a generally accepted accounting principle (GAAP) – that in future quarterly and annual reports will severely distort Berkshire’s net income figures and very often mislead commentators and investors.
The new rule says that the net change in unrealized investment gains and losses in stocks we hold must be included in all net income figures we report to you. That requirement will produce some truly wild and capricious swings in our GAAP bottom-line.”

I've seen this pattern from BootCamp/self-taught candidates.

If you end-up interviewing candidates from the same bootcamp "batch" they'll all have the exact same portfolio project (and if you diff them there's going to be little to no difference between the different ones!) because they all followed the same tutorial to do it.

So yeah, unsurprisingly, none of them could answer why use a POST vs GET operation.

Seeing the comments in this thread makes me think about only one place in not so distant history : puritan England.
I'm on the fence here: there's precedent for this kind of thing from when companies tried to offshore people in the 90's. It never took off to the degree that people expected. So, I'm wondering what makes this time different - is remote work becoming a norm due to covid enough on its own to really cause a substantial shift? Are any other factors "different this time" so that a nontrivial amount of white collar work will move offshore? I haven't heard any compelling ones yet, and I haven't found Cowen's piece convincing because it didn't directly address this.

I'm very willing to change my mind if I see some compelling mechanisms for why its "different this time" compared to the 90s, but I just don't quite see it yet.

A WTO-esque moment for white collar workers would indeed be a big deal if it happened.
Two random thoughts:

So as somebody whos probably pretty close to left-wing anarchism, I think markets are the more dangerous shackle when compared to the state.

We need the state to abolish markets, only then can we abolish the state.

Doing it the other way round will just result in all of us being slaves to Jeff Bezos.
Intel have a different process that used to documetned and marketed as 7nm. That process since has been renamed to Intel 4.

Regardless of discussions about actual density and the meaningless, it's important to make the discussions between Intel 7 and 7nm (now Intel 4) to prevent confusion. Otherwise people might mistakenly think Alder Lake is on the process previously known as Intel 7nm.

Fortunately, once we get to Intel 4, it becomes unambitious again.
> The latter part of that workflow is where we are focused now, i.e. now that we can plan and recommend B-tree indexes for individual queries, how do we utilize this to recommend a set of indexes for a whole database

what I've ended up doing is trying to approximate the number of rows, create dummy data that has a similar spread of data, and create indexes and query until I have a good understanding of exactly how each index behaves with the amount of data. It ends up being a lot of work, but sometimes getting a 50% performance increase is worth that amount of work overall.

But what if we made it...wireless?

Maybe we could call it a "wand," to prime people to cast Imperio with it?

> Closed-loop neuromodulation systems aim to treat a variety of neurological conditions by dynamically delivering and adjusting therapeutic electrical stimulation in response to a patient's neural state, recorded in real-time. Existing systems are limited by low channel counts, lack of algorithmic flexibility, and distortion of recorded signals from large, persistent stimulation artifacts.
Here, we describe a device that enables new research applications requiring high-throughput data streaming, low-latency biosignal processing, and truly simultaneous sensing and stimulation.

The Wireless Artifact-free Neuromodulation Device (WAND) is a miniaturized, wireless neural interface capable of recording and stimulating on 128 channels with on-board processing to fully cancel stimulation artifacts, detect neural biomarkers, and automatically adjust stimulation parameters in a closed-loop fashion. It combines custom application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), an on-board FPGA, and a low-power bidirectional radio. We validate wireless, long-term recordings of local field potentials (LFP) and real-time cancellation of stimulation artifacts in a behaving nonhuman primate (NHP). We use WAND to demonstrate a closed-loop stimulation paradigm to disrupt movement preparatory activity during a delayed-reach task in a NHP in vivo.

This wireless device, leveraging custom ASICs for both neural recording and electrical stimulation modalities, makes possible a neural interface platform technology to significantly advance both neuroscientific discovery and preclinical investigations of stimulation-based therapeutic interventions.

> Quite a few people were born since then, and still live there

And if you go to any western university campus, you'll meet many of them, born after the revolution, who worked hard to make it to the west and who are trying to sponsor their families to join them.

The opposite (westerners trying to do the same in Iran) is virtually unheard of.
AFAIK Mozilla uses Google services for some telemetry. But that's exactly the kind of thing that warrants detailed consideration and not just "there's traffic touching a Google IP, THEY ARE FEEDING DATA TO GOOGLE!" and random scripts from the internet that disable IPv6 "against tracking"
Seems like one solution would be to require users uploading images to remove metadata themselves before uploading. The website could reject images that contain matadata.

Was Gitlab was extracting the metadata and using it for some purpose. If not, what is the reason to accept images with metadata. Perhaps they assume their customers prefer less "security" and more "convenience", instead of vice versa (less "convenience", more "security").
It's still possible to find awesome sites.

For example - I searched for some obscure detail about Korg DW6000 synthesiser and I came across site of Legowelt - an techno producer and naive painter. Very oldskool looking site full of texts about obscure synths, free drum samples to download, paintings, 90s style webzines and general 90s aesthetics.

When I was a kid in the '80s, we had a Magnavox TV with built-in Pong. The game mode button was at the top of the side panel with the VHF and UHF knobs. Blue and Red controllers plugged into the back of the set, each with a rotary encoder and trigger.

What have I not understood ? Please enlighten me.
I actually think this might be a good thing!? When I was taught about the gunpowder plot it was presented as a serious of facts rather than a judgment like "this person was evil and got what they deserved" it was "this is what happened, this is why they did it, these were the consequences" a judgement on whether there was virtue in the actions or not was not really a part of it. That's probably a good way to present history?

I do remember as a child having a lot of sympathy for Fawkes and the others!

To me it is a commemoration rather than a celebration. Though I've always enjoyed the spectacle of it all since well before I knew any of the history.

>There's a natural right to undermine the nation state - or any other actor - when said actor itself undermines natural rights. Whether you believe that freely exchanging goods and services is a natural right or not is another question.

This resolves to "there is a right to undermine anyone or anything for undermining your beliefs," because what is and isn't considered a "natural right" is entirely subjective.
it affects cooling. gpu dies are way bigger than cpu dies. a cpu that draws almost as much power as a high end gpu is way more difficult to cool. I don't really care about price/performance that much, but I don't want my pc to sound like a jet engine at load.
And for what's to come:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_far_future
To be honest, at this point whether some policy is "partisan" or not rarely has anything to do with its merits, and more about where it originates from, and how it's packaged. Just look at those studies when people were asked about "Obamacare" vs "ACA: (the latter has a lot more support, even on the right!).

So those razor-thin margins? They're not necessarily because the bill in question is not good. Indeed, the very politicians who vote against it might concede that it's good - in private. But they have elections to win, and voters to rile up to win them.

Not to mention that Congress, by design, is not really a good representation of public opinion. In fact, Senate is skewed so badly at this point that it's possible to pass and ratify a constitutional amendment through votes of politicians representing less than 1/4 of the country's population, so long as they're concentrated in the right states.

> GitLab Workhorse could check if the file is a valid TIFF of JPEG before passing it to ExifTool

This approach doesn't work in general. An attacker could craft a polyglot file - and in that case it's a matter of which format is tried first. Valid tiff's could potentially be processed as something entirely different.
One could even say there is no such thing as "natural rights".

If it's not codified in law, it's not a right, it's a feeling.
>Gotcha. I'll file a Jira ticket to see if we can easily and quickly raise it to 200 characters (round number). I think we can handle that easily and safely.

Thanks so much for the reply, and yeah that's done-forever territory. Even "just" tripling to 150 as you earlier suggested would almost certainly be plenty, into pathologic edge cases.

>I'll run the idea by a few groups and see what people say. For feature requests NOT related to security, traditionally it's kind of a customer voting system. If enough customers want a certain feature it sorts to the top of the priority list and gets done sooner.

>For security things it is obviously different, like if a big exploit like Heartbleed is released in the world we drop everything else and focus on that.

Sensible way to do it. And yeah I agree this is kind of a hybrid of both. It's not a flaw per se, but it's more than a feature enhancement as there are genuine security implications. If you haven't looked into it, there have been cases of SMS hijacking for example, you can find plenty of discussions on HN alone with a quick "sms hijack" search. It's better than nothing but SMS infra just is fundamentally not very secure. One time tokens with a seed are better, but less convenient or secure then a blackbox that can enforce operator presence requirements or at least completely sequester keys.

Even a couple of years ago it would have been more annoying to integrate but the standards are progressing well enough now that it's probably worth another look. Adoption of hardware keys in business also finally seems to be hitting critical mass, though if we're in an S-curve at last this time around it's well before the steep slope.

Anyway, thanks again and best of luck with everything! As it happens plan to link up a new TrueNAS installation with B2 starting tonight :).

>I genuinely don't see how you think it's more difficult to debug class="bg-blue flex items-center" versus class="SpecialBuggyComponent" and then having to cross-reference and dig through a bunch of styles in a css file.

Because it's never just 'class="bg-blue flex items-center"'. It always becomes 'class="bg-blue flex items-center text-base font-sans font-medium rounded-lg bg-gray-100 text-black py-3 text-center cursor-pointer"'

That is the normal state of ultra endurance athletes during long runs[0]. A lot of training stimulus is fat adaptation. Coaches will tell you that you begin to exhaust your glycogen stores beyond the 90 minute mark, and I can tell you subjectively that the body switches over around then. I have done fasted runs up to 3 hours before. Runs of that duration are physically impossible without burning fat as fuel.

Swoop, Inc. | Remote/Onsite (US only) | Los Angeles, CA | Seed - $3.2M |

Senior/Staff Roles: Software Engineering, Front End, Back End, Full Stack (https://jobs.lever.co/swoopapp/3ffa200d-aad5-4fb6-9128-f21fd...)

Tech: Frontend: React, Typescript, MUI, GraphQL Apollo; Backend: GraphQL Relay, Node, Express; Storage: PostgreSQL, S3; Dev-Ops: AWS (EC2, RDS, Route53, etc), Firebase Auth.

Swoop is fundamentally changing the private transportation industry. Amir, our CEO, watched his parents struggle to run their transportation business and found it mind-boggling to see the extreme lack of technology facing this $74B industry.

We built Moovs, the SaaS platform to help transportation operators run their small business, and Swoop, the marketplace where people book private transportation (shuttles, buses, vans, etc).

We’re looking for engineers to join, lead, and help shape the team as we solve real-world problems (embedded fintech, communication platforms, etc). We’re growing fast, are about to close our Series A, and now is a great time to join us as we solve problems that have been overlooked for decades.

I'd even argue Tailwind is challenging and obtuse if you aren't already quite comfortable with css.
I agree with you that we can let people decide what trade offs they value; however, there is an issue where the university could find out that this is harmful to mental health or simply that students aren't willing to make this trade off. Now you have this giant building that isn't being optimally used and it could be expensive/difficult to repurpose it.

Also, I sleep with blackout curtains too! It's a much different experience than waking up in a pitch black room.

Small slivers of light make it through the edges of the curtains and that makes a HUGE difference in my own experience. Even in the winter when it's dark in the morning is a different experience than the pure pitch black. I know what I'm describing sounds silly and ridiculous but it's hard to explain how unsettling it is to wake up in a room like that.

> Please learn CSS

This is the problem.

Writing good CSS is hard, and is it’s own skill that needs to be learned and developed. Abstracting that out so the non css experts can create consistent interfaces without having to ‘learn css’ is the goal.
> But there is much noise to filter through in the many tools we juggle these days, especially if an organization prefers to self-host.

If an organization is too overloaded to patch for six months, maybe they should re-evaluate if self-hosting is the best course of action. Seems like this is a foot-gun of your own creation.

Neither. It’s just “Fireworks Night” or November 5th. Everyone knows about Guy Fawkes trying to blow up Parliament and then getting tortured etc. And if you’re actually ask people how they feel about that story, sure you’ll get a range of different answers, and it will probably seem to correlate with people’s political proclivities and you’ll make some spurious inferences. But honestly, as a Brit who has experienced 35 Fireworks Nights, no one is discussing or concerned with the Guy Fawkes story any more than they are discussing or concerned with the morality of elves at Christmas. It’s purely about fireworks and large, public night time gatherings (fun).
Zero runtime css-in-js feels like the natural progression. It combines the best of both worlds and is very flexible, bring your own design system instead of relying on your css implementation to decide on one for you ala tailwind.
If you can't remember the word, you must have nevertheless have learned it at some point in the past (and then forget). By learning it, you've imprinted the concept in your mind. Afterwards you just lost the identifier. But still, language was how you were able to acquire the idea to begin with. Remembering a person is different, but a person isn't an abstract entity.
