You’d be staking out the ground first as ‘your fight’ - so in general maybe.

In this case for instance, if NATO had moved in before Russia into Ukraine however, that would be really, really bad.

A big factor behind this war already is Russian insecurity about NATO strength and being frozen out of traditionally Russian territory.

It would be a bit like Russia occupying some of the Aleutians all the sudden. Not likely to go well. Sudden double flashes not well.

Going back to the ‘classics’ is frequently is a disaster in science and math.

Post 1900 or so you often find a seminal paper (e.g. Einstein) explains something better than newer papers because the seminal paper has to explain the concept well because it is new and unfamiliar and faces opposition. (Once people start reviewing it and the idea is established the reader is likely to blame themselves instead of the concept or a poorly written review if they struggle.)

You read old books that talk about Euclid or Newton and Liebnitz on the calculus but people have a hard enough time learning and teaching calculus that going back to the old texts is just downright cruel.

Contrast that to Ars Amatorus, Nicomanchean Ethics, or The symposium which on a good day are a breeze to read and come across as completely fresh.
Just want to emphasize this. If you don't buy it, it's just going to end up hosting some form of spam. May as well put it to good use. That seems like a much more respectful transition.
They adopted a poison oil that they can use to discourage a hostile takeover while they consider the offer. The poison pill doesn't necessarily mean the offer will be rejected as it can also put them in a better bargaining position to try and negotiate a higher price.
Are you thinking a tender offer somehow overcomes the poison pill?

After encountering everything from a taxi driver in NYC who didn’t know where Grand Central Station was, to a recently hired physics professor with a PhD (Univ. Cal. Davis) who didn’t know what a partial derivative was, someone having a particular job title means zero to me. It just means that someone, for some reason, is paying the person to do <job title>. But this guy didn’t do too badly, after all.
Elon has a lot of equity in ownership of tsla, spacex, etc, no doubt plenty of other things. Instead of selling for cash and buying Twitter with cash, he’s taking out loans based on assets he owns.

On top of that there will probably be “imaginary money” where a bank will give him money to buy Twitter with Twitter as collateral, but not the whole thing, just part. I.e. loans against his personal capital will provide a kind of down payment for loans against the value of Twitter.

In this scale it’s called leverage, banks loaning you a multiple of assets you’re willing to risk.

It is quite common for people with extreme net worth to take loans out against assets instead of selling them.
> Yeah, one group of "protestors" can take over a small section of a city, push the authorities out, loot and riot.

If you read my prior comment, you'll note a distinct lack of discussion regarding this unrelated topic.

> But another "protest" gets a little out of hand and it's an attempt to overthrow the government.

Correct. The mob that actually performed the violent protest may not have come to the Capitol that day to overthrow the government, but the people spurring them on had other designs. Calling for the murder of the government official performing their duty is a key tell for that; to my understanding there is further evidence beyond incendiary and violent rhetoric.

But please, let's stay on topic instead of deflecting to the ills of Antifa and her counter-agitators. That conversation just reinforces the backfire effect since the trivial triggering conversation challenges deeply held worldviews.[0]

Please read and learn from http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html. As is, we have to guess at what you know and don’t know.

My knowledge/memory may be a bit rusty, but let’s try to do that (basically rephrasing Wikipedia, leaving out some details, but that sometimes helps). I’ll assume you know what triangles are ;-), what a triangular mesh is and what shading is.

With Gouraud shading, you compute the shading at each visible vertex of your model and interpolate the shading of all other points in each visible polygon from the shading of each of its vertices.

Computing shading involves computing a surface normal and, then, using a reflection model to compute what a given point looks like.

With Phong shading, you compute the surface normal at each visible vertex of your model, interpolate the surface normal of of all other points in each visible polygon from the surface normal of each of its vertices, and then compute the shading of each point using that surface normal.

That’s more work (you have to interpolate vectors, and, more importantly, have to apply your reflection model at each point, rather than only at each vertex), but gives better results.

If you spend time working in a field that requires a CISSP (like most info sec roles in the US government), you will meet plenty of people who crammed for a test but are otherwise completely incompetent.

I would not recommend viewing the CISSP as anything other than an attestation that someone can memorize a few concepts for a test.
what does “shake things up” mean?

whenever something like this happens you have to ask yourself why now and what’s in it for Musk (let’s be real: nobody spends this much without an agenda). My fear is that Musk’s endgame is to reinstate a specific account that was banned after some specific events around a specific election. If this is what’s happening he can frack off.
I think it would make me more cynical about teaching if teachers all agreed. Teachers have different opinions that evolve over time because they're trying to figure out the best way to teach. Static unanimity could would only happen if it was pursued for its own sake, to make the profession more comfortable and to avoid questions of skill and credibility.

I have ditched cursive for block printing, but it is an annoyance because I'm much slower that way. Even though I sit at a keyboard ten hours a day, better handwriting ability would be a noticeable asset for me. Still, I can't blame the teachers who taught me in elementary school, because none of them could make the individual choice to teach me a different cursive system, just like I can't make the individual choice to start writing code in a different language at my company.

> Every three years, the public could submit petitions proposing new mandates for anti-piracy technology.

Why stop at websites, when OSes and browsers could do the filtering for you? And why stop at piracy, when there are all sorts of other illegal files (and "legal but harmful" content) out there?

(For the avoidance of doubt, I think that these are all terrible ideas, and I fear that once the government starts mandating blackboxes for one purpose, it will become harder to prevent laws mandating blackboxes for other purposes).
Ask HN: Some startups go viral even if the founder's network is zero, why?
Some startups or products go viral even if the founder is an introvert who just sits and code and doesn't want to talk to anyone. Is that pure luck?
In part the optimum algorithm changes as hardware changes. In the 1980s for instance the CPU was about as fast as a ram access. Today the CPU is on the order of 200 times quicker than a RAM access, which means algorithms need to be designed to work well with CPU caches to perform well. There is also much MORE memory available, so in some cases it makes much more sense now to consume more memory to get more speed. Computers often have many cores now as well, also changing the equation at times.

>The problem with the US and the west is not freedom of speech or the free market, it's our debt-based monetary system which is now based on soft money. The decline started in 1971 when USD became detached from the gold standard.

You have it backwards. We didn't end Bretton Woods because the government wanted to print money. The government was printing money, so they had to end Bretton Woods or else hyperinflation would occur. Right after WWII, Europe and Japan were desperate for capital to rebuild, so they were willing to exchange physical gold with made up paper, so it was free money while it lasted. If there were any real interest in maintaining a fiscal responsibility, they would have allowed investors to buy gold at the same price.
> The whole idea of today's currencies is for the financially illiterate people to get robbed of their savings.

No it isn’t, the financially illiterate don’t tend to have much savings anyway. The point of controlled inflation is to prevent the financially literate from hoarding cash as an appreciating asset and provide tooling to alleviate economic crisis. Considering your quote I’d question just how financially literate you yourself is.
If you watch youtube videos about switching power supply teardowns, like "diodegonewild" you'll see that no-name switching power supplies from China generally have fake electrolytic capacitors now a days. If your circuit needs a 400 V 5 uF cap, just desolder and peel off the label on literally "any" capacitor then put a shrink sleeve label saying 400V 5uF and call it good. If it handles 400V that's great for everyone, if it doesn't, then just blame the customer for misuse or make it too hard to return a $2 no-name phone charger. Put a well regarded label on the fake cap, I suspect China ships more caps with ChemiCon labels, than ChemiCon themselves actually manufacture, LOL.
does bors limit the commit frequency / PR merge frequency to one merge every test runtime (5 minutes in OP), or does it do something more complex and speculate / run some stuff in parallel?

OP’s numbers are 120 commits per hour and 5 minute test run, I’m wondering if adopting bors would necessarily reduce that to 12 commits per hour.

Way more people than Musk can do this. You just need a bank that trusts your ability to pay and who thinks the size of the transaction is worth their time.
No, this time he has actual written warranties from banks.

MAD still applies, disincentivizing a direct war between the US and Russia. US nuclear policy is unspecified, Russian policy explicitly calls for the use of nuclear weapons if the survival of the Russian state is on the line. Direct war with the US could very easily lead to the Russian state fearing for its future.

Cloud services are competitively priced. I'd honestly like to see some examples of people who invested the time to build cloud agnostic get actual ROE on that in terms of pricing concessions by negotiating with AWS/GCP/Azure over and beyond the additional developer time to build said platform.
As far as I know it has never been done in practice but is sure seems like it would have a huge amount of fallout for existing shareholders. Would the board actually pull the trigger knowing this? On the other hand poison pills are widely used and have generally been considered a credible defense.

I use "hello". It's pretty rude compared to how I was raised, but it's also the only way to not give scam calls the ammo they need to mess with me. So I can live with rude.
You're not making a case for this being fraud. Why would this be fraud rather than a sharp-elbow business tactic? "Fraud" has a concrete meaning; for this to be a fraud, one would need to be able to identify precisely of what Musk has been defrauded.
I am younger than your grandparents but I have children that range for 14-31 and I can tell you that I could afford to go to college based on what I made as a short order cook but my kids would not have been able to earn enough to even pay for school much less have enough left over for life.

It sure feels like schools have taken advantage of the student loan programs to increase fees and tuition while at the same time lowering the admission standards to put even more asses in seats.
Generally there are contractors employed in some fashion at all times on a broad enough contract who would be available to jump on something like this. Whether pen or they’d get the approval to ship it quickly is another story.

The problem is definitely still the security of banks. They regularly call YOU and tell you that you have to verify yourself. It’s an incredibly stupid system.
This is very true. Placebo effect is extremely powerful.
I feel bad for Twitter employees or potential employees right now.

You KNOW Musk has no intention on converting unvested RSUs to cash. He'll either get rid of them completely while giving everyone a 10% raise (common Twitter TC is 50% cash 50% RSU) or keep everyones cash the same, and tell them their RSUs are now amazing options that will be worth soooo much when Twitter gets relisted in the future
Thank you, I have said the same thing but you said it better than me!
> To our great surprise, we've found that our codebases have a lot more declarations than assignments, so it makes sense to require the extra keyword on assignments because they're rarer.

> It’s been accepted that as long as troops from one of the side are not directly shooting at uniformed troops from the other side

During the Korean and Vietnam Wars, Soviet pilots engaged in dogfights with Americans, which makes the amount of handwringing over just sending weaponry being a escalation laughable.
Basically, if you know a scale, for example the D major scale you can play anything.
Not being aware of it and not admitting being uninformed does make you 'very stupid' though.
To be fair early 90s branch prediction was garbage. Back then it seemed like every new processor release was accompanied by a note on how branch prediction was improved by 80-90% compared to its predecessor.
The last new PC that I have seen, and which still had legacy BIOS booting support, was a Dell laptop purchased in Q2 2021.

However, it was a model launched in the second half of 2020. It is indeed possible that the models introduced since 2021 might omit the legacy BIOS booting support.

We already covered this, but advice distilled from earlier comments
bears repeating;

One special class of vulnerable targets is security experts, and
top ranks. I remind my students that "pride comes before a fall" and
nobody is immune. While doing some training for <BIG INTERNATIONAL
BANK> someone told me they call it the "cocks problem". It's the
handful of 7 figure salary high flyers that get regularly pwned and
cause grief for everybody else, because they are "too cocky". Lowly
secretaries and desk staff are much harder marks. The more training
you give to people who think they're above it the worse they get. It
has to be pitched as participatory advice, as an invitation to
co-create a secure practice.

We saw this cavalier attitude just the other day with Boris Johnson
[0]. I bet Johnson was told time and again to use equipment that had
been checked by his security detail. And I still cringe thinking of
this one [1].

I suggest there's no correlation between domain knowledge and
behavioural invulnerability. Good security posture is a mind-set. I
also think it's a very strange combination of contradictory qualities
(or attitudes you can be trained to adopt) that are hard to describe,
such as high conscientiousness and humility mixed with utterly cynical
disrespect for "authority", high openness but brutally meticulous
self-checking and introspection. And definitely, never call yourself
an 'expert'.

The big difference is the lending terms will surely require the borrower to do something such as sell assets or deposit more money if the value of the collateral (and/or the asset being purchased) falls below a certain amount.
To quote my CS professor, “You will notice that most of the algorithms we will cover, and most of those on the white book, are so short and simple that they fit on a single page and usually less. The real world code is longer, but there is a world out there of algorithms which probably aren’t this short and simple but we don’t know them yet.” (1995 or thereabouts)

If anything I think he missed a key component which is that algorithmic improvement is actually only interesting in a few very specific places.

I think pdqsort actually shows this to be true - it uses added complexity to improve on things that really do fit in a few lines of pseudocode.
I'm not sure managing mental health while running a start-up is a topic we want VC blogs to be the experts on. VCs are a substantial part of the problem here with their decisions to use a power imbalance to get founders to take little to no salary for as long as possible to extend the runway of the company. A lot of pressure on founders is financial as their personal finances are often a mess even as their company is taking off. Many VCs have a long history of making this problem worse.

Data shows that founders over 50 are the most successful age group yet VCs continue to focus on 20 somethings because few founders over 50 are able to handle the financial terms the VCs want on things like founder salary. I'm convinced we lose a lot of potentially good start-ups by requiring founders to take vows of poverty.

We need a coherent approach to mental health for founders. We need a coherent approach to mental health for early start-up employees. VCs are part of the problem and accepting their recommended solutions will make things worse not better.
I don’t understand how “Twitter is controlled by the government” is the simplest explanation. Do you actually use Twitter?

I feel like Twitter had an outsized representation along social media giants. It’s one of the smallest by MAU; and has a history of management problems. Isn’t occans razor here that is just a poorly run company?
Yep. In the US, you are not liable for any fraudulent transactions reported within 60 days. You can easily wait until you get your next statement.
No, I didn't move the goal posts - you did.

I highlight the fact that you did that - which validated my position that 'interviewees won't know specifically what to ask'.

You jumped into the ad hominem.

I have 'hired for startups' in fact several of them, including two Unicorns, and I'm an adviser to others, and I've helped set up a VC fund.

But that's besides the point.

You don't seem to understand the material being presented, but maybe worse, lack the self awareness to recognize that, and possibly have thin skin, all of which are not good attributes for dynamic environments like startups.
That's why I said they used to be well-known for it, I don't really know much about them today. But either way, Whirlpool is American, not German-Italian.
