They're required to disclose the trades, but usually have like 2 months to do it and the fines for not disclosing or improperly disclosing are minimal to none. It's a joke.

They should be held accountable like most people that have a conflict of interest. I work for a publicly traded company, and even though I don't have anything to do with the financial side of things, I'm forbidden from trading for most of the year to avoid any potential conflict of interest.

Just like banning trading, this will be circumvented by family/business proxies doing the trades. Including potential family proxies, in the public accounting, would probably be the most effective move to motivate ethical behavior. At least put some risk in the form of the relationship to the business partners, given the vast amounts of money flowing.
I remember a thread on this a few months back, and the problem is that most of these trades happen at the small windows in time where members of congress have information the public doesn't. While trades by members of congress have to be made public, there is a delay. If you buy/sell after the delay (up to 45 days), the performance isn't really going to correlate with what they're getting.
There are also many other possible outcomes.

Even if it's less likely that the manager would side with OP, it doesn't mean "approaches 0", as you stated previously.

Additionally, even if the manager doesn't address it, it could end up being a positive. Instead of "which is more likely", what really matters is the value of the outcome. I'm the kind of person that I would rather know whether my manager cares at all, so even the worst case outcome (getting fired) would be beneficial because I don't want to work with a group of people who can't rely on each other.

Today I was having lunch with a friend of mine, and he mentioned that he had invested some money into bitcoin mining, because they largely track Bitcoin (because they have a lot of bitcoin on hand), and you can get to them via the stock market. I was kind of blown away, I hadn't even imagined one would want to invest in a bitcoin mining company.

Aside: This friend made a lot of money over the years investing money in bitcoin, on my advice. I told my daughter this, and she asked why I didn't follow my own advice. I reminded her that she has basically made a career out of not listening to my advice.
Why does this autoplay cause the ball to seemingly "jump/skip"?
ASN.1 struggles because the word "ASN.1" can name a lot of different implementations with different nuances, and a "complete" ASN.1 implementation is a massive and hazardous undertaking which has left many with a sour taste. Meanwhile, ProtoBufs and Thrift work off of more constrained and well-versioned interfaces.

Honestly, ASN.1 with semantic versioning at the protocol level would probably have been as robust and useful as Protobufs. If ASN.1 had been forked into "ASN.1 3.0 without 10 hazardous and awful 1980s text encodings," it could even be fairly palatable today. Whether the overly expansive nature of ASN.1 is a product of the committee / standards organization design or the timeframe in which it originated is certainly an interesting philosophical question.

1. Most NFT marketplaces, on which the vast majority of NFTs are sold, provide a default IP license and/or allow custom IP licenses: https://www.natlawreview.com/article/nft-license-breakdown-e...

There are some growing pains to be sure, but by and large, NFTs come with an IP license, despite your belief to the contrary.

Your argument is akin to someone ranting, after the development of photographic prints, that a print is a malicious lie and you do not own anything in any legal or moral sense.

2. Increasingly, most savvy NFT projects provide, and savvy buyers demand, even greater IP rights. For example, here are the IP terms for Bored Ape Yacht Club (one of the top NFT projects in the space): https://boredapeyachtclub.com/#/terms

Note that BAYC grants the NFT holder not only a license to use and re-sell the NFT, but the right to commercially exploit and create derivatives of the image itself.

I don't think that's what the parent comment is talking about. It's talking about selling non-defaulted invoices as, essentially, a form of secured financing for the vendor company. The invoices are highly likely to get paid in the ordinary course and usually the company selling them even continues to "service" them, ie, to liaise with the underlying customer and receive payment. It's a very different business to debt collection.
Older people command higher wages. If you have the age, but not the experience it creates a disconnect that is a bit awkward. That is probably why you had the unfortunate "why not hire a younger junior" question.

it's the film equivalent of midcentury-Scandinavian design in architecture really. Explosive colors, maximalism and so on have been out of fashion for quite a while, and TV shows and movies opt for a more serious, colder, functional look. Funnily enough I think also inspired by a lot of Scandinavian media. The Bridge which was quite popular internationally is a very muted, grey show as is a lot of British television, Luther comes to mind, which has a lot of success internationally.

I don't really think one needs to go for technical explanations at all because that modernist aesthetic of black and white colors is pretty much everywhere. Inside Apple Stores, in the clothing you see in offices or even at fashion events. If you see something extremely colorful or extravagant today it almost automatically stands out.
The headline can be interpreted as "Members of Congress should not themselves be day trading" or as "Congress should enact legislation to prevent everyone from day trading". The article is clearly the first one, but the headline could be read either way.
I understand the sentiment: he comes across as one of those "hype guys" who's always talking about get-rich-quick schemes, but he's honestly incredibly knowledgeable about rocketry. He toured Starbase with Elon and asked questions that belayed a deep understanding of the mechanics involved.
I've got a slight improvement to your idea. Instead of publishing the trades after, or as they make them, instead publish them before they make them.

Require any congress-person who wishes to trade a stock to write a plan saying "I will buy/sell roughly this many dollars worth of these shares on this date", and require the plan to be published a week before the trade is executed.

We already require CEOs and company officers at large companies to do similar plans (though they do not have to publish them publicly ahead of time), and requiring our government officials to act as sorta officers of the entire economy seems kinda fair. They have material information on many different things.

Making them decide on trades weeks or months in advance seems like it should prevent day trading, while still letting them invest in reasonable portfolios if they want.
I'm really honored and flattered. People don't usually favorite my stuff and you just made my day. Thanks a lot.

I’m glad you like them. I came across the books by accident a few years ago when searching for old travel books at the Internet Archive. I wrote about that on the IA’s blog:

> What’s so great about ASN.1 and it’s encoding rules is that anyone writing type-length-value serialization for networking purposes, for example[1], is basically independently reinventing ASN.1 because it’s so fundamentally optimal.

The challenge arises if you have very large values: by nature, TLVs require that the V be encoded before you can plug in the L. If you use definite-length encodings (as required by DER), you may end up having to hold and encode a pretty large piece of data in memory. You can work around this, of course, but it can be a challenge.

Tags in ASN.1 as noted in another comment can also be pretty complicated: there are four tagging classes, and tags can be applied implicitly, explicitly, or automatically depending on the specification. This can make life a bit uncomfortable at times.

On the balance, I can understand why people find ASN.1 such a pain, especially if you're not inclined to fork over money to have someone else deal with the encodings. For medium- to large-sized companies, though, it's probably not a bad deal: get a support contract from one of the commercial vendors, get training, and save yourself six man-months on writing pretty bullet-proof serialization code without the headache of worrying about standards incompatibilities. If you happen to work in telecommunications or security, you're going to deal with ASN.1 at some point anyway, so having something that can talk to multiple parts of your stack can be helpful, too.
>As I've said before, publish the trades of politicians and Fed officials online every evening. If they make hundreds of millions trading on information the public is unaware of, disseminate that information quickly.

PWM is only a problem if the frequency is low. If the frequency is higher than the frequency response of the light sensitive molecules in your retina, it is no different from DC from a biological point of view. Claiming otherwise would be on the same level as audiophiles claiming to hear ultrasound.

Please don't try to paint entire classes of technology as unhealthy just because some low quality implementations are. PWM is a fundamental technique in electronics and displays and there is nothing wrong with it at that level. Nobody gets migraines from > 1kHz PWM. If your backlight is doing 60Hz PWM then you might want to get a better display.
"Home taping is killing record industry profits! We left this side blank so you can help." - The front of a Dead Kennedy's tape released in the 80s. The recording industry's been beating the same drum since before I was born.

I don't care about the longevity of the record industry. Music is alive and well, with liberal distribution on the Internet making discovery and independent distribution so much easier. There's more music than ever, and much of it goes straight to YouTube (or Nico Nico).
> the starving artist

The "starving" or small time artist is an excuse that is useful for corporations when they want to manipulate public opinion. No music label cares even the slightest bit about individual artists or their fair payment, they care about megahits and big sellers.

If you want to support your favourite artist that isn't already a millionaire or multi-millionare paying for spotify isn't it.

To actually support "starving artists" visit their shows, buy some merch (however even this isn't the case anymore for some) or look for independent artists on bandcamp (bandcamp takes 15% of a sold album).

If all you do is pay for spotify or something like that you are not supporting a "starving artist" any more than someone downloading the songs, maybe even less because sharing the music on the right filesharing forums might at least lead to some of the sales (merch/concert) above.

For anyone interested have a look at https://informationisbeautiful.net/2010/how-much-do-music-ar...

To add to that: Big labels hurt small time artists immensely. If you are an artist on youtube getting hit with a (false) copyright claim by a large label is a constant threat to you. It even happens to people with songs with millions of views [1]. We have reached a point where using certain chords or chord progression can get you stomped by music labels.

Music labels are not in any way friends or allys to "starving artists", only to millionaire artists.

Not sure about this one, but there are questionable actions taken by informant insiders that many might consider entrapment. We've seen this with terrorist cases and more recently with the kidnapping the governor case. Would these people have gone as far as they did without the encouragement and material support of the agencies and informants? Who knows

Not sure it's more informants, but they do seem to use more than one
I refuse to read this post because I'm enjoying this slow, daily, little game. I'm convinced over-thinking this would spoil the game.
Based on experience interviewing many job candidates over the past 5 years, college degrees are no longer an indicator or knowledge, abilities or intelligence. It seems like a four year degree today means almost nothing, I'm not sure what they are teaching these days beyond woke activism, but it's not working. On average I'd rather hire someone that received high school diploma in the 1990s and has a little experience than recent collage graduates.
I'd be ok with them having to declare it months ahead of time, or better yet, banning individual stock ownership for members of congress who have the most privileged information.
They are most likely referring to `tensorman` https://support.system76.com/articles/tensorman/ which is regrettably premised on the notion that you have any intention of using Tensorflow in the first place.

Unfortunately, the `tensorman` article shows up first (after several complaint/support threads) in a google search result for the subject https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=nvidia%20docker%20pop%...

In all actuality, the correct article to reference is https://support.system76.com/articles/cuda/ but alas, this is presently broken on PopOS 21.04 unless you pin nvidia's repo's as you've suggested.

At the very least, an unpleasant experience. Probably some blame to be shared by system76 and nvidia.

> I am assuming that many positions that require the candidate to (eventually) relocate to the Bay Area are not getting a lot of traction. A fried of mine refused to interview for position like that despite being very junior! She decided the cost of living is not worth it.

Cost of living is high, but for a junior engineer I think it might be possible for a good case to be made that it is worth it assuming that the junior engineer has a fairly recent bachelor's degree from a good college.

One of the lessons you should have learned incidentally while getting your degree is that if your rent and utilities and much of your food are covered and you are busy enough that you don't have a ton of free time you can get by for at least 4 years without having much extra money.

The median household income in San Francisco is $112k per year. The average household size is 2.26 persons.

This means that half the households in San Francisco are getting by on less than $112k per year. That's for everything--rent/mortgage, food, utilities, insurance, transportation, clothes, entertainment.

I'd consider if I was a junior engineer taking the San Francisco job if it paid significantly more than $112k, and then for the next few years live like I lived in college. Live in the kind of housing that the people who are making under the median household income live in, and everything you make that doesn't go to living in that housing with a lifestyle similar to a college student put in in your 401k or other investments.

You already know from college that you can live this way for 4 years and come out OK. If you can just do that for a few more years, you can have some nice savings built up. Then you can figure out if you want to stay in San Francisco but upgrade your lifestyle, or move to someplace cheaper, but with a nice fat portfolio of savings and investments that will serve you very well later.
A big point is: (1) As an employee X, the employer knows how much X is making and will try to keep that down, while (2) a person X who owns their own business that happens to be a good business can just rake in the money with nearly no one else the wiser who can stop or slow X.

E.g., while I was growing up, a guy in the neighborhood was doing really well. He was in the peanut vending business, you remember, put in a coin, turn a crank, and get out some peanuts. So the customer, how do they know how much money the peanut vendor is making?
Especially since the recording industry has never been a friend to artists. They used to pay musicians a one off fee to come down to the studio and make some recordings, and didn't pay royalties, in the old days. Now they pay pennies on the dollar.

Meanwhile, independent music is thriving thanks to the Internet. Let it burn.
> because I am concerned that knowing their trades ahead of time publicly might introduce unwanted side effects.

Unwanted side effects like them not buying small volatile stocks that are perfect for insider trading, and instead buying large index funds that are difficult to manipulate?

Frankly, anyone who's buying small named stocks that the market can move is either 1) a gambling addict, 2) a professional daytrader, 3) an idiot, 4) breaking the law, or 5) all of the above.

I would personally prefer that we do not hire day-traders to represent us in government (or if we do, that they stop daytrading for the duration), so I'm fine if this just has the side-effect of no congress-people daytrading.
I loved HPMOR for what it is, but I would suggest The Glass Bead Game ("Das Glasperlenspiel") by Hermann Hesse. I read it around the same time as HPMOR and it works its way back into my thoughts more frequently.

If you like novels of ideas, consider this endorsement of it from the 1946 Nobel Prize committee:

In Hesse’s more recent work the vast novel Das Glasperlenspiel (1943) occupies a special position. It is a fantasy about a mysterious intellectual order, on the same heroic and ascetic level as that of the Jesuits, based on the exercise of meditation as a kind of therapy. The novel has an imperious structure in which the concept of the game and its role in civilization has surprising parallels with the ingenious study Homo ludens by the Dutch scholar Huizinga. Hesse’s attitude is ambiguous. In a period of collapse it is a precious task to preserve the cultural tradition. But civilization cannot be permanently kept alive by turning it into a cult for the few. If it is possible to reduce the variety of knowledge to an abstract system of formulas, we have on the one hand proof that civilization rests on an organic system; on the other, this high knowledge cannot be considered permanent. It is as fragile and destructible as the glass pearls themselves, and the child that finds the glittering pearls in the rubble no longer knows their meaning. A philosophical novel of this kind easily runs the risk of being called recondite, but Hesse defended his with a few gentle lines in the motto of the book, «…then in certain cases and for irresponsible men it may be that non-existent things can be described more easily and with less responsibility in words than the existent, and therefore the reverse applies for pious and scholarly historians; for nothing destroys description so much as words, and yet there is nothing more necessary than to place before the eyes of men certain things the existence of which is neither provable nor probable, but which, for this very reason, pious and scholarly men treat to a certain extent as existent in order that they may be led a step further toward their being and their becoming.»

I am not sure I agree with all the other posters saying it isn't your business and say nothing. Most of the posters here are actively working to automate millions of people out of work and disrupt industries to non-existence. Disrupt your office and automate your coworker to the unemployment line.

In your story there is a potential for you to make more money. In that sense: it is your business to do something.

Meddle away, play politics and try to come out ahead. In one scenario, nothing changes. In another, you might even be able to take this other person's job, grab a promotion. Play it another way maybe you work a lot less and get more money. There are a lot of angles where you come out ahead.

If your conscience bothers you, think about it this way. When you apply for a job and get hired, you took that job away the next best option. The fact that this coworker of yours has the job doesn't change the calculus, you have as much right to their job and pay as they do. So take it from them by outcompeting them. We live in a capitalist society. The fact that this person has a job is no safety net. Go take it from them.
>Yeah you don't usually get a shiny new car and an unnecessarily large house having kids at 21, but the life you're talking about is a negative for humanity.

This is so far from what I’m talking about that it’s closer to what I’m arguing against than for it. I am not talking about materialistic things. I am talking about experiences, relationships, and outlook-defining memories.

> What does it matter when you're happy and have everything you need to survive and provide anyways? That's what a "win" is.

Eating buttered potatoes for the rest of my life isn’t a win to me even if it will technically sustain me.

> I was confused about how it does sum up all transactions to get the balance so quickly, like we in accounting usually do

For what it's worth, in a system design context, this is called event sourcing (in more general terms it's just a fold, though the idea of event sourcing doesn't preclude caching). I worked at a bank for a few years and this was how we calculated balances too.

> And instead it does this:

I don't quite follow you here. It does something distinct from either a fold or caching the current total? (Do you mean that each transaction encodes the resultant balance?)
