> even the Fed itself and its members were involved in trades that could only be explained by insider knowledge

What's your source for this? We've seen questionably-timed broad-market transactions that yielded a few points. (The officials were fired and the Fed revised its rules.) But nothing that looks like insider trading.

The simple answer may be more mundane. Anyone who has spent time on Wall Street or in rule making knows how effective the SEC's systems are at catching insider trades ex post facto. The only seeming way around it is to avoid letting your trades get too profitable. At which point the risk-reward ratio becomes unattractive for anyone with much to lose.
i've always believed: avoid doing work on computers, use computers to do work instead.

my father's generation called this: work smarter, not harder.

My understanding of Flexport’s journey is the same as this. Ryan had insight into the fact that shipping stuff across the globe is difficult from his previous businesses. He created a landing page offering to import shipments into the U.S., first shipment free, and had a couple major signups. He had someone build him a prototype and he continued to validate his idea while he waited for an import license. Flexport did all 4 MVP steps listed above, but they also identified and established a moat early on.
i think there's also a fallacy there that you can't work on billion dollar cases while also pursuing million dollar ones

Case of Pelosi comes so often but she is a very weak example. Came from $300,000,000 family fortune "her" stock picks (she obviously doesn't pick herself but has financial firm representing and making moves on her behalf) did merely $6,000,000 in last 10 years, according to her tax statements. I don't get why her "inside trading" and her fridge full of ice-cream triggers so many people; people who clearly haven't done a basic research.

"We find weak evidence of informed trading for the pre-Congress period, suggesting that informed traders are not being selected into office. When combined with our finding that the portfolios of members serving on powerful committees outperform the market during their second term in office, this provides additional evidence that serving on influential committees is the mechanism by which members of Congress earn abnormal returns."

From a few years ago, but pertinent to the topic at hand.

MBA: Mostly bloody awful

Something happened to management culture decades ago and now being a Master of Business Administration, especially from Harvard, is rather on the nose. MBA, it's being said, can also stand for 'Mediocre but Arrogant', or 'Management by Accident'.

The SQLite project is much like SQLite itself, i.e. simple and as self contained as possible. Naturally this means they have to deal with the overhead of developing and maintaining a large portion of their toolchain. On the other hand they avoid the litany of problems that comes with using 3rd party tools, and those tools can be optimized for their particular needs.

The notion of a “well rounded student” who does music, art, and extra curricular activities, is a legacy of blue blood WASP culture.

That is not to say that I think only test scores should matter. But the kinds of extracurriculars colleges value—in particular that they don’t value having a job or working in the farm—smacks of old money ideals.
It's important in relating these horror stories to include whether or not he was applying to Computer Science and/or Engineering. The growth in demand for CS has outpaced any schools ability to handle the students. My daughter's college counselor had different sets of target schools depending on the major (in her case she was thinking about biomedical engineering, one of the most sought after).

> If insider trading is legal, fewer people will participate in the market because they will lose out due to information asymmetry and this will lead to pricing inefficiencies.

This only makes sense in a world where regulators can effectively prevent insider trading, that’s not the world we live in though.
what is one such example of a trade. I can only find examples of congresspeople making stock trades, not trades based off of specific pieces of insider information in a manner similar to this SEC report. Do you mean trades initiated before legislation?
I appreciate that you acknowledge the negotiating power required to make that kind of a move.

That sounds like a great move for you, and I'm really curious about your experience. Do you find that you're more "out of the loop"? Naively, I would expect you to become a lot more of a satellite employee, less involved in any decisionmaking. How has that gone?
Of course, the last thing you want is to discover that you underestimated the hazard, now you’re screwed because it’s all over the place. We’re getting along just fine without the satellites now.

It will be a fitting irony if humankind lowers its IQ below the point where it can remediate its mistakes.
At USD$199 I think this could be a steal. Combine this with the new low-cost Intel CPU and they could be a game changer especially at the edge and data center environment [1].

Please check out this Kamuee software router and it has the performance of 100 Gbps without using SmartNIC based open soure Quagga/FRR open source routing suite although it's proprietary technology by NTT [2]. Perhaps it's not coincident that the original Zebra open source routing suite pre-cursor to the Quagga/FRR is also written by a Japanese.

Another related and promising software router technology from the startup Netris using SmartNIC [3],[4]. It aspires to provide automatic network operations platform that turns the physical network into a service like a cloud.

> enforcement is impossible without subjecting anybody trading stocks and everybody they know to a completely unprecedented level of surveillance

Why? Just look for a pattern of abnormal returns. (Hint: the SEC does this.) It's much easier to check for insider information after the fact than it is to profitably trade on it.
They literally wrote again, it's a multiple factor process. Why is there this concept "test vs no test"? No one expects meritless acceptance to anything.

> Maybe. I'm just more than a little skeptical given that GP has a scant post history, and spends his other posts railing on about CRT being marxism.

I do think the comments about CRT were a bit off-topic from this discussion.

However, I do agree that CRT is Marxist and I doubt the original formulators of CRT would object to that characterization. The people I've seen most vigorously object to that characterization have been classic Marxists who object that CRT rejects the materialism of Marxism. From just about every other perspective, there is a great deal of overlap.

> There's a lot of people pedaling this kind of IQ stuff to justify blatant racism, so you'll forgive me for wanting to see the data and not just letting statements like that fly by unchallenged.

Fair enough. However, most of the misinformation about IQ is coming from the skeptics of IQ[1].

I'm aware that IQ research is sometimes used by racists, but that's only possible because certain political interests have done their level best to make IQ as radioactive as possible. It makes it hard for anyone not already on the fringes of society to engage in the research.

I think actually the middle way is the best. This is when you have a central platform that is operated by a Platform Team that App Teams can use to deploy their workloads -- but that the App Teams are expected to observe and monitor their own app to make sure it is healthy.

This way each individual App Team doesn't have to become a PhD at Kubernetes and the Platform Team (aka "Ops") doesn't have to become a PhD at 50 different apps.

Congress may outperform in the aggregate, but this is not enough to prove that they illegally traded. There are other possible explanations.
> Wealth inequality is universally a very bad thing.

This is a moral absolutist take. We clearly don't agree on "bad" vs. "good" because some of the best (from my perspective) things were/are done in capitalist countries, such as the creation of NASA, rollercoasters, the Internet, innovative surgeries, and life-saving medical treatments for chronic conditions.

> Wealth is distributed unfairly with people who contribute the most to GDP not getting the most wealth.

Measuring contributions is not a trivial task, even philosophically. How much does my CEO contribute versus the work of us workers? That isn't something that can be measured, so any conception of the answer to that is going to be a matter of opinion. So I'm going to say "[citation needed]" on that one, and arguably there's a "[philosophical justification needed]" as well.

> every employee under a capitalist system is getting fucked over

First, that definitely is not true, especially if you believe that a portion of people in the system are overpaid. But secondly, if you are getting "fucked over," you should leave and join a different company that does not fuck you over. If enough people do this, either the economy will grind to a halt (forcing companies to raise wages) or the wages will be raised without grinding the economy to a halt. There is absolutely nothing in capitalism that prohibits this. In fact, the prospect of higher wages means it is encouraged.

> The people who get the most wealth are owners of capital, not the people who generate or increase capital.

You are again stating this as though it's supposed to be taken as a given that it's bad. Acquiring capital and growing capital are two totally different roles and it's impossible to compare their true value to society. We need both, and it's not clear that acquiring capital (providing it) is less valuable.
You can be as efficient as you want, but there's no way to compete in things like manufacturing when foreign labor is literally pennies on the dollar.
What is the point of discussing MBAs on a website like this? The discussion only ever goes in one direction.
>Russia could have just carpet bombed the entire Ukraine like it did with Mariupul recently. Why it didn't do it, we can only guess.

Russia wasn't looking for territory but to annex a population and possibly create a puppet state justified with the idea of ethnic strife between ukranian-speaking and russian-speaking peoples and "saving" the historically aligned russian population. I.e. to keep hearts and minds of a population on their side. You can't do that if you carpet bomb cities and a lot of the positive Russian sentiment in Ukraine is obviously gone with how the war has progressed.

Russia is now a bit stuck because Putin's power is largely based on image and support of older generations which remember a strong Soviet Union, just a reset to before this happened would be a serious blow to him and possibly the stability of Russia so they're ramping up the aggression and still not finding the easy success they expected.
The MBA title is useful to me as a signal of who I do not want to work with. Seriously, wouldn't life be much easier if more people declared themselves accurately?
In order to evaluate these two approaches to controlling spread we would have to have accurate infection, hospitalization and death data from China. I could be wrong on this.

You would think so but no.
If Apple can do it, will VMWare / Parallels eventually be able to achieve similar levels of performance or is there something physically stopping it from emulating a whole OS's required processor features?
No, I was considering them as happening to potentially different people at potentially different times. It's definitely true that if you somehow know you have scored 1510+ then finding out that you scored 1600 only gives you an extra 5.6 bits of information, and if you know that you scored 1600 then the fact that you scored 1510+ gives you 0 additional bits of information. And the correlation with being valedictorian is also pretty strong.

Scoring 1600 intersection being valedictorian definitely does not give you 22 bits of information. Maybe 13.

Also being valedictorian gives you less information than 10 bits about your relative countrywide or worldwide standing.

As a general rule, I always look at more subjective measures like extra curriculars and “well-roundedness” with a huge amount of skepticism. Such subjective standards are phenomenal places to hide discrimination and favoratism.
A long time ago, there used to be standardized tests for all sorts of things. These allowed people of all backgrounds to pursue career paths in many industries, without requiring the time and money involved in getting a college degree.

They were sued into oblivion because of what we now call equity. The pernicious idea that if equality of outcome is not observed, then it must be due to racism.

The industries that used these ended up de-risking by just requiring college degrees.

Guess who suffered the most?
If sharing this won't get you in trouble, I'm curious about why you believed that the ChromeVox screen reader wasn't a good fit for Home Hub. Was the Home Hub UI not HTML-based?

Thanks.
>Over here in the EU any cellular device should contain a SIM card which must be registered to someone or some company...

This isn't true for all of the EU. For example, in the Netherlands, you can buy and activate a prepaid SIM without any identification requirements. This prepaid SIM, once activated in the Netherlands, can then be used in other parts of the EU without subsequent registration.
But that's kind of the whole point - just as the parent poster implies, I very much like content from people who are not "creators", for whom that project is a side hobby and their primary identity is not as the creator of these things, where they're doing it for themselves and not for an audience or me. If some or most of them can't commit to that as a profession, that's fine, there's far too much content anyway, and if most of the content-makers quit and only the "hardcore hobbyists" remain, those who would do that even if they had to pay for it, that's an okay outcome which still leaves more than enough content, and the good stuff does not get drowned out by fake garbage manufactured by those who want "random content creation" to be a profession. We have far too many independent creators who are motivated by money as that money pushes the "market" towards bullshit, so we need fewer of them and need to push some of them out. Less money flowing for views of that content is a way to achieve that.

It does seem pretty screwed up. I don't see how working couldn't have a negative impact on time for extracurricular activities. Or say someone wasn't even officially a worker, like providing care for elderly relatives living at home.
I'm pretty sure it's just a feature of humans. Designing an RPG (and especially a competitive MMO) to be fun is really hard when min-maxers are involved. Once everything gets theorycrafted, everything is either optimal or trash, and anything optimal is an obligation. There's no such thing as a lucky drop, just a soul-sucking mandatory grind. Any choice (skill selection etc.) either affects the performance metric being optimized (and therefore the better-performing choice is mandatory) or it doesn't (and therefore it's pointless and why did the devs even bother).
Assuming I could also pay off my student and car loans? Absolutely.

Unless that salary was already at market rate, in which case you're then exposed to higher turnover along with the hits to productivity (and profitability) which that entails.

If we were going to try to be scientific about it, we'd look to see what kind of people make genuinely outstanding managers and executives by analysing successful outlier organisations and looking at the composition of their management, board, etc.

Sure, there is a difference of intent, and a difference in motivating incentives, but the line is fuzzier than we like to think (eg. industries providing no-strings-attached funding to study everything but the area that has issues they wish to crowd out).
Countries don't suffer or experience pain, people (and other living things) do.

The notion that individual suffering can be added up for some total of inhumanity is somewhat dubious, as are comparisons of individual deaths: is it the number of casualties that matters, does it suffering experienced before death factor in, and does it make a difference if it was caused intentionally and without good cause, accidentally, naturally, etc.?

But yeah, it's rather gruesome. Syria is very similar, for some reason.
