The problem is that what Gawker did to Thiel, while not nice, was legal.

If you do something perfectly legal that someone does not like, and that person has sufficient money and/or power, they can simply go hunting for something illegal you've done (there's always something) and aggressively bankroll actions against you.

Thiel used Hogan and his case as a proxy to settle a personal beef.

This is not dissimilar from the cops tailing activists around in their daily lives, hoping they can find something, anything, to charge them with.
Trucker with a CS degree here. I'm very skeptical of the feasibility of autonomous highway trucks that can drive outside very tightly defined parameters or ideal situations. That being said, it just occurred to me, how will these trucks react to or let alone detect tire blowouts or break failures/fires on the trailers?

Edit: I know from experience that getting a project to what we think is 95% there is relatively easy compared to the last 5% that make the product/project 100% viable. The real life testing will kill you if the edge cases don't. (I don't mean that literally, although...)
I’m not an economist. A number of respected economists believed a year ago that inflation was mostly supply chain issues and was transient. Now, with new information, opinions are changing. I believe the monetary stimulus mostly occurred the first year of the pandemic but maybe it’s continuing. I don’t know. Since inflation is a global phenomenon it seems reasonable to conclude that fiscal stimulus in the U.S. is not the cause.

I believe the statements regarding the Ukraine war were that it was going to increase inflation and not that the current level of inflation was due to the war. The statements I recall were of the form, “due to the war inflation will be exacerbated.”
I was specifically responding to the question of whether or not "if you can't tolerate a loss of 3k, isn't your business practically doomed?"

To which the answer is "It depends on the business." These things also don't happen in isolation; most small businesses will be able to survive $3k frozen for a quarter on a good day, but even well-run small businesses have bad days.
Well I guess we disagree then. As always with these things, it’s more nuanced. The timing of that question was the part that I think was pretty poorly thought out. That wasn’t even the point of my post though. I was expressing sympathy for the poster. Poor guys probably having a rough go with all the media attention. Sucks.

Fwiw. I’m seeing other comments saying that it was pre recorded which if true means the timing wasn’t even “Gary’s” fault.
Thanks, awesome! So what do molecular biologists do with these 3D representations once they have them? Do they literally just see how they fit to other proteins?
> Apple took resizable overlapping windows from Xerox; in return, Xerox got shares in Apple

This is sort of backwards. Xerox already had taken a stake in Apple before any of the demonstrations (and, in part, this is why the demonstrations happened at all). It was the Lisa team that came for the second of the legendary demos, including the engineer -- formerly of the LRG team at PARC -- who would go on to invent the Finder.
Not CS per se, but computers as a system. I couldn't care less about implementing a red-black tree, nor proving an algorithm's correctness by induction.

I start doing ops-y stuff around age 12, installing every flavor of Linux under the sun, breaking it, fixing it, and repeating. I figured out (and documented) how to get bizarrely specific pieces of hardware working in Gentoo, like an HP Photosmart PSC 2610 printer, or a Chaintech AV-710 sound card. I liked the challenge of tediously working through problems, reading system logs, overcoming the issues, and documenting a HOWTO.

I taught myself Python to automate annoying tasks at a job much later in life, and then discovered that automating things was a career field. Fast-forward a few years, I got an M.S. in SWE to kick-start my career shift, taught myself Docker, built a homelab, landed an SRE role, and was off to the races.

Yeah, car is one step simpler, steering wheel sets the derivative of direction (turn rate).

Fighter jets definitley have that same double-integration, although they can handle super fast control inputs, roll speeds etc. Not as familiar but I think helicopters too - the cyclic stick controls bank angle and pitch, which you'd use along with the pedals during turns in moving flight. But while hovering in place you could rotate with just the pedals (tail rotor) more like steering a car.

Related to the previous post and to this one (and agreeing with parts of both), I think it's worth mentioning an important aspect a little more explicitly: the conclusion of an argument that contains a fallacy is not necessarily false.

The conclusion isn't proven true, but the fallacious reasoning doesn't render it false either. Naming the fallacy can help refute, but it's likely that one needs to go further with their explanation of a differing conclusion (or a more sound reasoning of why the other's conclusion is, in fact, false).

Tom is the oldest in that he’s Tolkien’s oldest fictional creation. Tolkien made him up one day for his children’s bed time story. In this context, it explains why Tom feels so off from Middle Earth. Personally, I like the character and I’m surprised to hear that a lot of people didn’t like him.

>> The product should not be commoditized.

Your service is already being commoditized, with ScrapingBee, OxyLabs, Bright Data and others already offering similar services.

Being commoditized isn't something to avoided IMO. I think most products created by bootstrapped eventually will be commoditized. Sometimes, you can just be first in the market, or market your product better than your competitors. Or fulfill a need so niche that nobody wants to even consider it.
you recall incorrectly, but its a very easy mistake to make as every thread on the topic will be riddled with that false talking point.

the gay editor of gawker published the gay writer from valleywag's essay about how peter thiel was ALREADY 'out' and that everyone in silicon valley acting like it was a shameful secret that could not be mentioned was in-effect trying to put a gay man who was not in the closet back in it because of their discomfort with the topic.

like everything else on the internet once the facts got rung through the social media process the conventional wisdom became the perfect inverse of the actual truth.

its worth noting that thiel himself has never claimed that his 'outing' (which did not happen) was his motivation. he has however on many occasions explained his reasoning and justification as essentially viewing journalists/journalism/critical-reporting as haters that hold us all back and should be forcibly shut up. note that i'm using the word 'haters' but he actually used the word 'terrorists'.

I feel you've got the thrust of it. I see our manufacturing and boom of middle class ownership starting off with wild color choices only to then find out that it makes resale harder. Every house resold in my neighborhood paints the brick house white.

Also color fades more noticeably adding to upkeep cost. This is my two cents.
What? Biden and other world government officials placed massive sanctions on Russia exports of oil. They seized hundreds of billions of dollars of their deposits at the federal reserve. Forget about the fact that his administration had already been driving up the price of fuel, this had a huge effect on the futures prices, driving them up to where they are now.

Their actions do have effects and sometimes a corrupt group of lifetime government grifters make bad decisions that have bad effects. The Orwellian framing is that nothing these people do could ever be wrong.

Open your eyes. The sanctions have done nothing to stop Russia, have driven up the cost of fuel (which benefits them, an energy exporter), and have dramatically heightened geopolitical tensions all over the world. We went from a situation where Russia was going to end up with a land bridge to Crimea, to a situation where Russia is likely going to end up controlling all of Ukraine, is substantially richer, and has driven a wedge between the US and India.

100% agree with you. Tom was my favorite character and an essential one in my opinion. I was one of those people that was deeply disappointed by his absence.

Tom is entirely beyond caring about "good" or "evil". His peace is such a vital contrast to every other character and has stuck with me over time.
Wouldn't saying "we're actually profitable" be better? a) you still get into news (though for a different reason), b) gives prospective employees sense of stability, c) being profitable seems like good progress in my book, and d) no dilution for existing employees, not even a little.
Performance bonuses the way they are commonly done doesn't work in finance and sales either -- they're just so in-grained in the culture that it's impossible to hire a finance or sales person without offering bonuses the common way.

The problem is that individual performance is a much smaller factor of outcome than commonly believed. Organisational structure, luck, social standing in the organisation, etc play a much bigger role. So in the end, performance bonuses usually reward random variation more than individual prowess (as much as the recipients would like to think otherwise.)

This one-armed bandit type compensation, when disguised as a performance bonus, creates confusion, weird incentives, limits creativity and experimentation, and breeds bad blood.

> The truck then drives itself on the highway to another hub near its destination where another human driver completes the trip. This works in multiple ways - it allows human drivers to deal with the hard part of automation while also avoiding the terrible away from home lifestyle, and it allows you to have dedicated autonomous trucks for on-highway separate from your human-driven fleet (you can swap the trailers instead of using the same cab). You'll see these hubs start cropping up in a couple years.

That makes sense, but just sounds like a worse version of freight trains to me.

No you can't, there is a specific error for that. You can try it:

It gives the error:

We're not seeing a decline in employment or spending. The really bad symptoms of a bad economy aren't there yet.

Which direct actions? And frankly, gasoline prices do not amount to a signficant amount of spending by American families. Food and housing costs are also up and wages down (adjusted for inflation) which account for a lot more money that people actually spend than energy. However gasoline prices are also way down from a month ago, yet food/rent are still up.

China, India, Africa, etc. are happily buying it up. Oil's a fungible commodity.

There’s no official definition. It’s like saying you’re sick, you can be sick even if doctors can’t point to what’s wrong with you, and you aren’t necessarily sick even if you have a condition. The two quarters thing is just a really widely recognized rule of thumb. The idea that there’s some sort of official definition every economist agrees on is incorrect. The idea that there’s an organization that owns the word recession is also wrong.
In 1987 there was a pop-science book called “Chaos” by James Gleick that was, naturally, about chaos theory. At one point it described things like Mandelbrot/Julia sets and their ilk. There was one page that had a footnote at the bottom that described the algorithm used to generate a Mandelbrot set.

I had a PCjr, which was an 8088. Very slow, EGA graphics. 256k RAM. I did have a 20Mb hard drive, though.

I wanted to verify that algorithm, though. So I bought some books on how to program in C from Waldenbooks. After not too long I managed write a program to draw a Mandelbrot set on my PCjr. It was incredibly slow: I watched it paint each pixel, and let it run for many hours before I would get a complete set. But after much trial and error, it worked.

I was 16 years old. It was the first thing I had ever done that I was really proud of.
good idea, but it's stupid to put it in the standard library

I'm liberal and don't want central planning. It terrifies me that we are headed down that road at all; even seeing trial balloons for price controls. It always ends very, very badly and there's no reason to think this time would be different.
I don't get why people are getting all riled up by this. Of course the White House will try to put a positive spin on things, the same would have been done by the Republican party (or any other political party in the world). As noted above the President can't technically change the definition of a recession anyway, it's another agency that does that. So much ado about nothing...

Does your explanation for inflation have zero impact from general social sentiment? i.e. - Purely due to the levers of monetary and labour policies?

If so, what is the explanation for inflation occurring in countries all over the globe, even those without monetary injections or business closures?

If not, and there is some level of impact from individuals thinking "it feels like there's about to be inflation, so I'm going to act like there's inflation now", wouldn't there be a net benefit to that kind of messaging?
