Thanks! From the added context:

7. Pirrani's suit relied on Section 11 of the Securities Act. This alleges that the company lied in its registration document.

8. In an IPO, all shares are covered by the registration document. In a direct listing, the current shareholders of the company just start trading their shares on the market one day.

9. Notably, a direct listing makes it unclear which shares are registered (covered by the registration document) and which are unregistered. According to SCOTUS, Pirrani can't tell, so he can't prove standing under Section 11.

10. He should have sued the company under Section 10 of the Securities Act instead. This is the same mechanism used against "mature" companies. Lawyers don't like to sue under Section 10 because of reasons.

Some stuff which is still unclear to me:

1. People speak of owning n shares of a company. I always thought this was simply shorthand for something like: "I own shares #1034852, #1092647, and #2986246".

2. People sometimes own 0.25 shares of a company, but I thought that this was a convenience invented by stock brokers like Fidelity and Robinhood.

3. If each share is associated with a share number, and people only hold whole shares in principle, then isn't the provenance of that share clear? Whether it is registered or not should simply be a matter of following it back in time?

I’m not sure I agree, but I think it’s an interesting point.

Since management people seem to like construction analogies, I’ve started to compare software projects with tunnel projects. I understand that tunnels are notoriously late, because you really can’t tell what you’re going to be digging through - until you’re digging.

Of course, you could estimate more accurately by digging, say, a 1 meter pilot tunnel before you start the full size tunnel.

But now you’re digging two tunnels. And you still won’t be able to estimate the first one…

My point is that Hofstadter's law will apply to estimating, just as it will to the main project.
If Bolsonaro were still in charge I'd be concerned but Lula is an advocate of indigenous communities so I'm not as worried. There is still plenty of corruption and schemers who will poach land but they won't have a bright green light like they would have before Lula was elected.

It's not "playing well". The experiment is set up so as to reinforce (through LTP) its dynamics when it performs correct rather than wrong. This ends up "wobbling the paddle around" with a statistically significant better performance than untrained .

In the next sentence, by saying that minorities etc. are more significantly impacted the author is implying that average internet users are justified in not worrying about privacy. This is what GP is arguing against.
As a matter of fact I do, if you read my comments in other threads, before jumping to conclusions without knowing me.

Regardless, I flagged your comment since it really doesn’t follow HN etiquette on respectful arguments.

If they found that out using a street poll, then they probably missed a lot of homeless who don’t appear homeless, are higher functioning, maybe they are crashing in their car and taking showers at a gym.

We know little about this problem, and most of our information depends on unreliable self reporting.
> This idea of worrying about who gets what for free before actually solving the problem, is a major blocker in solving the homelessness problem.

For me, it’s not about “getting something for free” so much as it is about being efficient or inefficient.

Housing people in San Francisco instead of cheaper locations is like solving the carlessness problem by only buying teslas instead of hondas.

And then complaining that you don’t have enough money to buy everyone Teslas.

The plan is dumb. It won’t work. It’s stupid to fund such a plan. It’s not “never give free stuff to people” and “don’t give expensive stuff to people when cheap stuff does just as well, and especially if by doing so you incentivize more people to come and ask.”

I don’t think they want to solve the problem. I think they want to generate funds for consultants and NGOs that pay lots of people.

I apologize for being glib but… your response sounds more like it was written by Marx than anything I could have written. It’s exactly his premise. Capitalism was a prerequisite for Marxist socialism precisely because of its productive qualities. Marxist Socialism was specifically conceived to address the way that disproportionately benefits a class of owners versus the class of workers who implement capitalism’s efficiencies.
Wheat prices fluctuate according to USD/BRL rates and this is one of the reasons Brazilian inflation gets significantly affected by exchange rates -- which is expected, considering how many basic products, like bread, depend on wheat. The prices will still fluctuate like you said, but a local production can give the country some autonomy to design policies and attenuate the impact.
Large corporations do not buy much real estate. Look how many homes Black Rock owns versus the total housing stock. Many people incorporate to limit liability. It is also very cheap to spin up new corporations. So there is nothing stopping a person from being part of unlimited corporations that own your capped number of homes.

The real issue is lack of supply and your enemy there are single family home owners. They do not want density near them.

The people and corporations who subdivide their land up for renters are generally very happy to build more units because they like money. Your proposal, if it worked, would make the situation worse.
In many cases the drugs came before the homelessness.

For India, yes, the MGNREGA [1] is very "neoliberal", we all know how neoliberals care about social security, social equity, guaranteed wage employment, environment protection, women empowerment, and so on.

For China: "When the poverty headcount dropped below 10 percent of the rural
population, targeted poverty alleviation and social protection systems started playing a more important role." [2], how neoliberal of them.

Meanwhile, "more than 800 million Amazon trees felled in six years to meet beef demand" [3], who needs oxygen anyway.

This is huge. No matter how desperate you are, it’s highly likely you’ve established some relationships. You know which of the homeless around you you can trust to watch your things. You know what business owners are more tolerant of a nap.

This sounds amazing, but at the same time, I am concerned about the rain forest. Obviously more economically useful crops would accelerate repurposing the rain forest. Maybe the world would need to subsidize Brazil more to keep the rain forest? And could Brazil be expecting more subsidy with this development?
Conservatives and Progressives alike (but not all of either) block new housing from being built.

With no data to back it up, I suspect it's really older folks who don't want the housing to be built. And I think the psychology of it might be preserving things the way the are or used to be. I'd be interested to see some data that supports/refutes this speculation.

Canada has exceptional control of its borders thanks to a big USA absorbing low-skill labor shocks. The Canadian immigration system is based on points, which also means that they can easily control what kind of immigrants that are able to move here.

Lastly, Canada has a worse housing crisis than the US right now and its healthcare system woes are well documented. I question your claim of Canada's welfare state stability and its housing affordability.

That being said:

You are right on that.
In love with Bodrum, looking for real estate
I am sure that it has happened to someone here who has gone to a country on vacation thinking that they would only want to stay there for 2 weeks but then once you are there you wonder why not live here? You feel so good, so happy, so close to the whole context that surrounds you, the same thing has happened to me in Bodrum, that's why I'm totally decided to live there, but I don't want to risk so much money buying a property in any company with the possibility of being scammed, so I ask you for help, I need you to recommend a trustworthy real estate agency that can sell me a property in Bodrum. Which one can you recommend?
With port knocking or a simple as having SSH on a non-standard port, the connection request stops before even opening the TCP connection. That's less load on the system, less logs, less writing to storage, etc. Less of what you don't want must surely be preferable.
The article says there “certain categories of internet users who may be more significantly impacted by this”.

I think that’s probably true. And regardless of whether or not everyone is impacted at some level, I think it’s reasonable to point out that some may be impacted more significantly. Regardless of which version of “impacted” you mean.
Unfortunately, that kills all the humans.

The best we can do is prune it when it’s getting out of control.
The point is that just because something is enabled at some point doesn't mean it can't be disabled at a later point. The original poster didn't seem to think ME is really disabled just because at some point it was enabled.

1 seems like the only acceptable answer.

For all intents and purposes, a user will count it as one character. Truncating the string without including the whole cluster would change the meaning of it, and is not an operation anyone would do as a general purpose thing any more than someone would want to randomly replace the last character with random letters.

It looks like one character. I'd rather APIs let us continue pretending it is one character.

There are different studies proposing 2 or 3 layer network for representing the input-firing curve of neurons (Usually hippocampal). Of course, neural networks are abritrary approximators so the size of the network determines the fidelity of the reproduction. But it 's not clear what the firing does and what amount of complexity in the firing code is reduntant or useful for making AI systems
Without providing the underlying reason that supposedly exists this just feels condescending.

I recently switched jobs, and with the change switched from Ubuntu to Mac for my work computer. I've started to develop severe repetitive stress in my right hand from too much magic mouse usage because there are so many things that just don't have keyboard shortcuts.

So, for the benefit of all of us ex-PC users, what is the underlying reason for this extreme dearth of keyboard shortcuts? How am I meant to be using these Mac OS tools in a way that doesn't kill my hand?

Still, "within a percent" is misleading in this context. The number is within one percentage point, however, the entire range of the dataset since 1970 has been within 60 to 67%. Therefore, "a percent" difference is 14% of the range. For 2 decades between 1988 and 2008 the entire range was steady between 65.8 and 67.2 or so. The ensuing "great recession" only dropped the rate by about 3 percentage points.

The difference between a reliable cloud service with 99.9% uptime and one with 99% uptime is also "within a percent" -- but the less reliable service has 10x more interruptions.
> I think California also has a lot more homeless than Finland ever did.

Finland had a massive homelessness problem after WW2. Many homes were destroyed in the war, and many people from lost territories had to be resettled. Most working age men were veterans, and mental issues were common.

The problem persisted even after the "deserving" homeless had been housed due to popular attitudes. Vagrancy laws were still in force, making homelessness effectively a crime if you didn't behave. It wasn't until the 80s that the society started seeing homelessness as a problem that should be solved.
I don't understand what you're arguing. The legacy admits' SAT scores were higher than non-legacy. The Asians suing Harvard argued the legacy admissions were used as a backdoor for white people specifically. It has nothing to do with equity.
Duh? Neither party is interested in reining in spending when in charge, the debt ceiling is only ever threatened to try to extract concessions from the party that holds the White House. The very same Republicans screaming about the national debt today were all too happy to raise the debt ceiling three times under Trump and will eagerly continue to raise it the moment a Republican is back in the White House.

This is somewhat off topic, but does anyone know why they haven't tried putting SSD in a GPU like chip for inference? My understanding is that SSDs have a different access pattern for reading that adds latency vs RAM, but I don't otherwise know why it couldn't serve as a high bandwidth source for reads (ignoring write latencies and durability concerns).
> Most homeless where I am have severe mental health problems, drug addictions, or both

If drug addicts don't have to pay rent, then they do drug addict stuff within the premises of their house. It doesn't solve the mental health crisis, but it does solve tents in public areas.

Secondly, it controls for for gateway drug scenarios. Eventually, a large percent chronically homeless & mentally ill people turn into addicts. But, if they have a roof over they shoulders, they aren't pushed into that life as hard as if they were living in a tent.
You don't seem to have countered any aspect of my argument, so I'll rephrase it for enhanced clarity.

Current laws about minimum sizes (WRT size alone) already sufficiently allow small sizes (as far as interior size of the unit is concerned).

Commonly it is __other_laws__ such as access to two fire escapes which cause larger sizes than some might desire. An example addressed in my reply's following lines 'Fireproof Buildings' which some localities allow to relax such rules.
Not talking to you, just on the topic of DRY fundamentalism

RE #2, the main political issue in SF at the moment is that the homeless advocacy non profits want permanent supportive housing as the only solution, they advocate against shelters temporary group and sober housing, and they also advocate against any compulsory programs. To them, the housing provided must be good enough that the meth addicts willingly chose housing over street life. This isn’t workable.
I like the idea, but I don't know if a place like SF has the capacity to test that experiment with, even if they did some lottery system for it.

I'm sure established families wouldn't actually go through with that plan, but they are also older and more likely to vote against those programs. the youth would take the most advantage of it and may even put up with it due to alternatives for housing being 2K/month into their college loans and the idea that it's a temporary discomfort. And we all know that the 18-29 demographic doesn't turnover nearly as much as that 50+ bracket.
Cloud cost rate optimization vs. usage optimization
What's the problem with Section 10?
Or that government interference:

1. is costly

2. encumbers competition which increases pricing power

In any case, if the government is intervening to reduce pricing power, it clearly is failing spectacularly at that.

Weirdly, the government accused Microsoft of having a monopoly because it gave Explorer away for free. How is that pricing power?

Yes. When I’m trying to make money from something I want someone to blame when the open source software inevitably craps out temporarily :)

I generally don’t care if something is open source or not. Though it can help my decision to choose one thing over another when weighing the risk of getting locked in. I would also pay someone else to pay developers to maintain it so that I can focus on paying for and maintaining my own software.
These sorts of ordeals (not that there have been many of them) truly fascinate me - especially with regard to the decisions on 'appropriate' retributive justice. As a student growing up in South Africa we were often asked to compare the objectives and results of the Nuremburg trials alongside the Truth and Reconciliation Comission at the fall of Apartheid. The TRC allowed those accused (on both sides), to come forward and provide an honest recounting of their crimes to the court and family of the victim, and receive amnesty in return.

Especially given that I'm of a generation born near the end of Apartheid, we grew up with the "badge of honour" mentality around the TRC. But almost 30 years later, many of the victims of these crimes are left feeling like the perpetrators got off scott-free, for an often half-recounting of the event and not much more. It's not uncommon to hear references to Nuremburg when discussing the more henoius crimes described - for example, a doctor performing the sorts of acts those at Nuremburg were tried for, who was recently discovered to be a family GP in one of the Nation's capitals, quietly continuing his life. However, it's not an opinion I would say is particularly strong in those who have it, nor too commonly discussed - but it's an interesting weighing up of "an appropriate justice which would please all participants was difficult, or impossible to decide", versus "it's incredible that the participants and organisers were able to come to a decision that did what it said on the box, mostly".

I was particularly interested to see suggestions of a TRC (based on South Africa's own) introduced to deal with the after-effects of the 'Troubles' in Ireland, England and Northern Ireland - and it appeared to be a strong "NO" from all sides, which I found fascinating as it did not seem driven only by a need for appropriate retributive justice, but rather (in my opinon) seemed driven by the belief that we have the ability to draw finer lines as a group, and need not polarize our decisions between harsh, message-sending retribution and amnesty for participation.

All that being said I couldn't tell you which pick given the choice, but it certainly feels hopeful reflecting on just how much care in group decision making and inclusive participation has been displayed in the past in such events.
