Well if his only goal was to get Trump back on the platform, perhaps it's better he loses 1bn and fail instead of 42b and Trump back on? - and even if he loses the billion, Trump might still get back on.

Also 10 years ago you'd have employed IT staff to run an Exchange server and AD; now it's all in an Office 365 subscription (for better or worse). 2 years ago same for VPN; now Tailscale/Cloudflare are picking that up.
Maybe. In any case, it seemed to be much more about extracting profit through facades rather than funding real products.
That's selection bias at work though.

Getting funding isn't a lottery, in which everyone's odds are the same. The funding you receive and the terms of that funding are related to the current market and how good your business/idea is.

When times are tough, VCs are still investing, but they're only investing in better ideas, more likely successes. Why take a chance on your long shot when a government bond is a sure thing at a reasonable percentage?

We should expect that those companies that got funding during a downtime are better companies based on the fact that they got funding at all.
I don't think we need the latest Cloud/AI/ML/Crypto/Web3.0 bullshit to spin up fuckedcompany.com again.

I remember thinking in ~2015 going to conferences that this shit was never going to last. Then around 2018 driving (sitting) on 101 listening to advertisements for "C3 IoT AI" on NPR thinking, could a company jam more meaningless buzzwords into a single company name? For shits, looked up their stock just and its down 85%[1] since it's IPO. ofc.

To anyone who hasn't lived through a .com explosion, hold on to your butts.

That’s essentially just a race to the bottom in most cases. There aren’t too many cases where you can realistically lower your price below your competitor’s cost AND have your competitor be unable to make the necessary changes to match you.
I worked at Booz Allen on this project for some time actually before moving onto other projects during my time at the company. If I recall correctly, the site was made in React and used the internal government cloud.
Very nice. One pain point I've noticed with AutoLayout is that once a layout is set, it's very difficult to "just shift something around", which is what's so nice about a visual editing tool to begin with. The benefit of an automated layout inference tool is that it could theoretically let you toggle the layout off, do your quick and easy shifting, then turn it back on and let the tool infer the changes you made.

It's really hard to come up with good performance metrics. Ideally, you want execs to make good long term decisions for developing sustainable growth and competitive advantage. To do this, they need some room to maneuver and freedom to operate to make these decisions. Imagine trying to tie dev comp to performance metrics like number of commits or bugs squashed.

If you tie comp to share price or EPS, they'll try to juice it with buybacks.

If you tie it to revenue, they'll try to grow too quickly and become unsustainable. They'll start doing anti-consumer things like denying refunds.

If you tie it to profits, they'll cut the business down to barebones and whittle away at resiliency and R&D in order to squeeze a bit more margin out each quarter.

Like Warren Buffett's co-ceo Charlie Munger once quipped, "show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcome".
Note that I was describing communities and not individuals. Some properties get fuzzy when you scale down.

But, also, I have faith that most women have a very good intuition about which strange awkward men are harmless and which are not. If you're not a women or haven't talked to many of them about this, it's hard to really internalize how profoundly important it is for women to be able to make those calls correctly many many times throughout their lives.
They’ve got plenty of cash, and they’re still the strong leader in the server space. AMD is eating away at their consumer grade cpus I concede.

It's fascinating to trace the genesis of present crash to Fed's policies post 2008 crisis. The interest rates were kept artificially low to prevent another Great Depression. 2010s saw an unprecedented rally of tech/growth stocks, fuelled by cheap capital. Growth at all cost was the mantra, hoping companies will turn profitable at some point á la Amazon. Uber's CEO hit the nail on the head when he wrote "The average employee at Uber is barely over 30, which means you've spent your career in a long and unprecedented bull run".

There were signs of rate hike in 2019 but COVID forced Fed to create trillions of $$. Which only added fuel to the fire; equities, housing, crypto saw unbelievable growth.

However the signs of inflation were clear in early-mid 2021 they were hoping it to be transitory. But when the inflation data came in late 2021 it turned out to be multi-decade high leaving Fed with no choice but to raise interest rates for the first time in more than a decade.

Which brings us back to growth companies. As Uber's CEO candidly stated "Channeling Jerry Maguire, we need to show them the money". 2020s will be all about cash flow and efficiency.

On the other hand expect to see cool innovations as it requires genuine scarcity to look for out of the box solutions. While Amazon's stock soared in 2010s their core tech was being built in 2000s while they were relentlessly driving for efficiency.
The first image of a black hole is cool to everyone, an image of a black hole in the center of the Galaxy is cool to a vastly smaller group I’d imagine.
Details of the Sentry outage on May 6th, 2022
I almost got offer from DoorDash, with obviously RSU as one of the compensation. Eventually didn't get the offer because they said I didn't pass leadership interview. Apparently I was interviewing at one level above I thought I was interviewing (the recruiter messed up).

Anyway, I accepted an offer from a hedge fund, comparatively similar, but all cash.

Now I feel that I am glad I accepted the hedge fund offer.

I don't have a property, not looking to get one due to HCOL high property prices and high interest rate.

My assets are mostly crypto and total stock market index. I think I'm good with my crypto investment for now (already filled my goals) so I am thinking to get more stocks.

As someone with just cash compensation, what can I do in this downturn to make a lot of money in the stock market? Maybe I just stick with the old boring Apple.

It's under-discussed as with any discussion of an empirical study of ML systems, ie., treating them as targets of analysis.

As soon as you do this, they're revealed to exploit only statistical coincidences and highly fragile heuristics embedded within the data provided. And likewise, pretty universally discriminatory when human data is inovlved
Well, they produce JSON though. I understand that there is much more context related to the user interface but you can extend JSON Schema to be able to tie more information to it. It's an incredibly flexible & collaborative way to define the schemas. The backend people are also familiar with it and can validate the data & collaborate with frontend people over a JSON Schema probably much easier compared to a frontend libraries DSL.

For example; React has a library to generate forms via JSON Schema and you can use uiSchema feature for the use-case that you mentioned:

I currently post ranges because we're now large enough. But when we were smaller, I wouldn't include ranges because our job posts didn't filter by seniority, and at least part of the comp was the potential for a healthy options grant. So the effective cash comp range was so large as to be meaningless on a single job post. "$0 to $1m DOE" (for example) doesn't help anyone make any decisions and is so distracting that its better to leave it off.

Also as a hiring manager, you'll also find that if you post the range, it just so happens that almost everyone's very firm minimum acceptable comp is the top of your published range.
What's your project? $100k seems like an odd amount of money to ask for, to me. You can't staff up very much with that, but it seems like a lot of money to pay for AWS/hosting-type bills when you're just starting out ($10-30k should be more than enough). It only makes sense (again, to me) if what you really want is access to the VC and their network. But again, I don't know shit about VC and angel investing.
Yes you can. Core.async already supports using normal threads with the `thread` macro instead of using the `go` macro.

All code looks exactly the same otherwise.
It has been a long-standing complaint for awhile. In partricular, there appears to be a core group of editors that have displayed a blatant bias against Israel. Huge ommissions of information that only inflame anti-semitic passions and hinder real dialogue from occuring. There are other issues, but this one shows the limitations of wikipedia and how a narrow mindset can comandeer a few pages. Again, I like wikipedia, but it's only reliable for mundane issues.

> That's why you buy wired headphones with replaceable cables.

Headphones with replaceable cables don't make sense from a price or size point of view for the most people on the move, incl me.

Getting 10+ years of life from any equipment is generally acceptable esp. when both RHA and Sennheiser systems' size and the abuse they go through is considered.

Using such sets for desktop and studio settings changes the requirements drastically, and both price and size are justifiable in that case.
- My professor was completely against the idea of using proprietary software. Also, we were supposed to use APL, not other languages.

- I see that support has improved. I didn't find any keyboard support for Windows at the time. Still, dealing with a different keyboard layout was a total pain.

- I wouldn't call the APL community "big". The're are around 2K users combining all of those platforms. Now include the language barrier (I'm from Argentina) and go back a couple of years and you can see the issue.

- The APL version we were using had dynamic scoping. TIL that there are multiple variations of the same language with totally different semantics!

- Yes, that level of terseness involves hacky code which is hard to understand, review and mantain. This is 100% my opinion.

Overall I wouldn't recommend APL or derivatives at all for any serious project.
Intel has to do next 4 years what it failed to do for the past 8 years and the complexity of execution in the space is getting harder and hander. Also, they are fighting on multiple fronts, upstarts in GPU, write-offs on AI hardware, Losing share of x86 with ARM et al. Losing share in x86 to AMD, having to rely on TSMC for advanced chips. Also, some bright spots where, they are opening up their foundries for design firms etc.

Over all, Intel has to do perfect execution and we did not fully talk about Apple, Amazon, Microsoft designing their own chips and using Intel's competition for fabbing them. They are in a tough spot, but if any company can come out of it winning, its Intel. They have done it before.

It also comes from feeling financially secure enough to be comfortable asking those questions. Early in my career I wouldn't have, but at this point I have enough money that I can afford to be more discerning.
If you consider VCs as brokers rather than investors, it makes sense. There's a lot more dumb money looking to invest in crypto.
Alyssa's writing style steps you through a technical mystery in a way that remains compelling even if you lack the domain knowledge to solve the mystery yourself.
Agreed and not only that but he needs to take into consideration forward look P/E whereas he’s looking at trailing P/E.

If interest rates go up, everyone is surmising that tech stocks that benefit from lower interest rates will not be as profitable.

If it bothers you that much the solution is a belt drive, which is still more efficient than a generator.
That's a key insight.

On an average wikipedia page (or even topic), you will only encounter a small number of participants at a time. A lot of the time you can forget that the rest of the community even exists. You're likely to be fine even if you Ignore All the Rules [1][2]. As long as you mean well, good-faith interactions between individuals (if any!) will typically set you right. This is where Wikipedia is strong.

On highly popular pages, the number of participants can rise well above the actual empirical value of Dunbar's number for that page. At that point it becomes very hard to maintain order, and things can get very bureaucratic over even a single punctuation mark. This is where Wikipedia is weak.

Which is very interested because now there's a "demand" for crypto currencies that are fixed to ... SPY say, or VTI.

I wonder how long it would take the Germans to work that trick out and come down hard.

I also wonder how tiny a crypto currency could be ...
Or perhaps at that point we won't need the definition anymore. It becomes a bit arbitrary and market-y at that point. Assuming that we don't end up with a single vendor.

We probably should never have had level 5, but split L4 into a couple levels: heavily geofenced/restricted vs. relatively unlimited applicability with some restrictions.

I can't imagine any state, where this "deal" was anything other than a "I'm a bigger man than you" kind of thing. Probably fueled by some mind altering substances. All fine and dandy as long as its like a billionaire throwing a $100 bill at a bum, but when it turns out that it could sink his ship, or at least put him in serious financial trouble and threaten things he actually cares about, then he needs to find a way to get out of it.

I've been sorta a musk fan because he was willing to risk everything to pull off things that no one else was willing to take a risk on. OTOH, its patently obvious that he isn't some kind of genius, more like a gambler who managed a winning streak and somehow thinks its because they have a lucky charm. Maybe his biggest strength is that he is such a fine bullshitter he can detect it in others a mile away.

My gut says you are right, but why is 30 years a better baseline timeframe than 5 years or 100 years?
You nailed it! It's the same "excessive dumb money" phenomenon as with the dotcom bubble back in 2000.
I've worked on several projects that used "Black Chamber" development.

That is, local LAN only, with no access to the internet, and no internet-capable "personal electronic devices" or cellular phones permitted in the development area.

You had whatever paper documentation you brought yourself, what was in your head, and whatever was in the /documents directory for that project.

It's a different work mindset. I've since moved to a sysadmin position, running a closed network. When programmers decided they couldn't hack being cut off from the net, they'd quit. Dealing with vendors who signed a contract swearing their product didn't need internet access to install or function, when it won't even complete the install without internet access, is more awkward. Particularly when we call the lawyers in. Because that's why we tediously explained the while "no internet" thing in the contract. That they signed. No, not even for just a few minutes. And by the way, can you explain why your installer times out trying to contact servers in three different countries? Our network admin is curious...

> However one neat trick the EU has (and I promise I'm not trying to spin this as pro-EU, as it's only in one place): is that the direct votes are split proportionally. This means that lesser represented groups get a voice in the EU parliament.

That's pretty cool. There are a lot of voting systems that make a ton more sense than first past the post.

One of my favorites on the topic is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7tWHJfhiyo

CGP Grey's video uses animals and whatnot. It's cute, but then he talks about alternatives and it's clear anything would be better than first past the post.

In the US, this is one of many reasons why I'm cynical about the federal government. Everyone knows our voting system is useless--none more than the politicians in the system. But, once they're in the system, they're taking advantage of it and never bother with voting system reforms.

I also still mostly disagree with governments in general. A group of people shouldn't be allowed the rights a single person doesn't have. No matter the system, there are people in it that never agreed to be a part of it. That said, from a pragmatic standpoint it doesn't really matter. As you've mentioned, it's dog-eat-dog out there.

I've been fairly busy these past few days, but I'll make it a point to watch the videos you've linked today (not to exceed 1hr of viewing--I haven't checked the length, lol).

In the United States there is very little leftism. If you think there is, point to any major party etc that is advocating to dismantle the existing power hierarchy and transfer ownership of the means of production to workers. The most "radical" mainstream advocacy we typically see is around reform, which really isn't radical at all.

It's true that there are pockets of leftist activism here and there, but said activists have very little power or influence. There's no communist bogeyman waiting round the corner to redistribute your wealth (or whatever else it is that people imagine communism to be).

It's important to reiterate that liberal and progressive are not synonyms for leftism. Advocating for social change in and of itself is not leftism. More Black people on TV isn't leftism, and the notion is quite absurd, especially since it's far from true that everyone on TV is Black now.

The reason this is so important IMO is that we can't have productive discussions about social and political issues if we don't understand the basic terms and concepts under discussion.

As to Musk, I don't know what to think. He's certainly made some good business decisions, but he also goes off the deep end on occasion. I don't think calling him liberal really makes much sense. When you're one of the richest people in the world, your world view is undoubtedly much different than that of an average person.

And just in general the labels "liberal" and "conservative" aren't very meaningful, especially in that most people could be considered either depending on which issue you're looking at. And when you look at how people actually live and what they prioritize, the lines become even blurrier.
What good online communities are out there now?
> I wonder which came first, the military idea of 3:1 attacker ratio or the boardgame Risk 3:1 attacker dice ratio.

The 3:1 force ratio concept is far older than Risk, Risk doesn't have a fixed 3:1 dice ratio (3:1 is the maximum dice ratio the attacker can have, and requires 3 or more attacking armies and only one defending army), and to reflect the force ratio concept achieving a 1:1 dice ratio should require a 3:1 (or slightly lower, since in Risk ties go to defender, so even dice isn't exactly even) force ratio rather than getting a dice ratio between 1:1 and 3:2 for an equal force ratio, as Risk currently does.
