> that doesn't measure that they are doing what we want them to do. That measures how effectively they can convince us that the other candidate would be worse

If we are convinced, then they are doing what we want them to do--because they convinced us that there is no point in wanting anything else.

> On most topics, there is NO candidate who is for doing things outside of the current Overton window.

Yes, but what is the Overton window? It's the range of policies that most people will accept. So by definition only policies within the Overton window can possibly be what the people (or at least a majority of us) want.
> No dynamic allocation unless it can't be avoided (and performance/optimization is not a valid excuse).

Eliminating dynamic allocation is a performance optimisation, I’d have thought?
MISRA is there as a standard for safety-critical code. Some contracts, some customers, some regulatory regimes will require compliance with MISRA, or perhaps another embedded coding standard, like AUTOSAR.

Generally, your customer/regulator will allow you to deviate from the standard; you just need to document and explain the deviations.

A static analysis tool like Helix QAC or Klocwork (bias: my company Perforce sells them) will capture your compilation and scan your code in detail to find deviations from the standard. You can then fix those deviations, or use the tool to document and explain them.

> The intravenous PDD treatment Zulresso, also made by Sage, costs $34,000 a year.

So, by some definition, this $16k pill course is a bargain.
Thing is, if you’re laundering money, you’re probably doing something incredibly profitable (importing kilos of something that cost you $2k and then selling for $20k, or just straight up stolen funds with no cost basis).

These groups have no issue with the few percent cost of added transaction friction.

But it really costs people running low-margin businesses or unsophisticated honest people just trying to move overseas, remit funds to family or buy a home overseas.

And the knock-on effects of the bypasses becoming things like “buy a front-business and care less about the legitimate competitors that can’t compete with someone unworried about profit” or “buy a house and let it sit empty”.
> The idea was supposedly that everyones ideas were valid and hierarchy didn't matter and that everyone should challenge anything no matter who they were in the organisation.

Treating all ideas as valid is fine if that means all ideas get evaluated. For hierarchy you need somebody who can be the decision maker when a consensus cannot be reached otherwise the most stubborn opinionated people become the de facto decision makers. I experienced that situation before and resulted in some very bad implementations and massive tech debt and the people who stuck us with those bad decisions got to avoid responsibility and leave other people cleaning up the mess they created.
> She wrote a paper that provides a new legal basis for antitrust enforcement in the U.S. that allows for different theories from the currently prevailing "consumer harm" doctrine.

That is my point. This is nearly purely all academic experience. No experience in managing such a large system like the FTC. How is she supposed to manage people?

> Her paper on antitrust was a huge deal in the legal world. It would be more accurate to ask, "who knew her?" and the answer would be pretty much everybody in the legal community.

From what I understand talking to Columbia Law school grads in anti trust, it was just riding a populist wave. I don't know too much so I will take your word for it.

> The FTC hasn't had a successful major antitrust case in decades...

No, but they have done deals, something Lina Khan said she should consider more when she was getting roasted at that congressional hearing.

On the other points:
I don't know enough about this space to talk on the other points which is why I was asking those questions.
While I admire the valor in trying to get it undone under the privacy umbrella, Youtube can easily state that it is not a matter of privacy but a matter of DMCA (anti-circumvention mechanism) and at that point it a whole can of worm.

I genuinely believe this game of whack-a-mole would end if Youtube stopped being greedy and offered a simple plan, than offered ONLY no ads. No stuffing of other products like Youtube Premium or whatever the case may be. You can keep static ads like they used to be, but let me pay 6 or 7€ per month and just not have intrusive video ads.
Comparatively speaking, I would expect SG DC staff to be lower cost than western countries.

Power is the killer, and it's doubly bad. Not only is it expensive, you're using a lot of power to keep things cool given ambient temp fluctuates typically between 24-33C, 60%-90%Rh 24/7.

There was a moratorium on new DC builds in Singapore, so there's also a huge demand/premium on rack space in SG.

Too late to edit: I should also point out that Rust has the same issue with joining a thread: It doesn't give you the result of the function; unlike awaiting on a promise.

Someone with at least a decade of experience in non-academic law. Or at least 5....

> This is an artifact of the districting system.

Which in no way contradicts what I said. The fact that what the people want (or at least a voting majority of us) actually screws over the general public does not mean the people don't want it. It just means that what the people want is not actually good for all of us in the long run. Welcome to reality.
If a type doesn't exist in your toolchain, your compile will fail an you will know why.

Not mentioning something Vs. putting it on blast online are two ends of a spectrum of common sense when you have access to privileged information that others are willing to kill, in extreme cases, to obtain.

Yeah, so what they do is they don't use free and malloc, but use a bunch of buffers they free. Tadaa! We don't have dynamic allocation, just buffers, see? I've seen it, I can count in AUTOSAR systems like... 20 different hand spun allocators, 10 ques and 50 special little hierarchical state machines.

> while the Fed continues to do various things behind the scenes to make sure that the Treasury can plausibly claim that the debt is legally issued

What are you hinting at? The Fed doesn't decide on whether debt is legally issued. It also cannot overrule Treasury absent a court order. It's saying that, absent court advice, if the Treasury issues debt it will treat it like any other. There is nothing behind the scenes they need to do beyond announcing they'll treat them equivalently.

Can't all the social media companies put comments through a sentiment analyzer before they post, and determine if the poster is writing something anti-social? "Get back in the kitchen" should easily be analyzable through sentiment analysis, and the poster should just get banned. Stuff like this should be low-hanging fruit in my opinion, given what AI can do these days.

There were many forms of bailout for Citibank (and others). Some were (extremely favorably termed) loans, some government backing of their bad assets and some were buying stock that the market didn't want to touch.

May or may not be technically free money, but for sure Citibank doesn't hand out loans to bankrupt customers on such terms.

The gov could have e.g. let Citibank go bankrupt and just take it for free. Like banks do to their customers.
That's not really my experience and I used to walk around in a lot of datacenters. Nobody gives a crap about photos because there is nothing sensitive to actually see. Most of it is just really boring. Rows and rows of computers and other blinkylight stuff. In fact it's a lot more fascinating with the lights off.

The hot and cold aisles are super annoying. Either freezing your ass off or sweating profusely. So are the double floors which people might have left open to become death traps. The noise is deafening. The air smells acrid. They're a terrible place for people.

What was a lot cooler to visit were the old pulse-dialling relay-operated phone exchange buildings. In the dark it was like being stuck in a dark forest surrounded by a horde of angry killer crickets slowly inching closer to you. Especially because that stuff wasn't very heat-sensitive so it was eerily silent besides all the clicking. That's the kind of history I miss more than the datacenter. It was shit cool, especially when you would open the door and be in the middle of a bustling city. And nobody knew that magical forest was there.

And the half-floors (intermediate half-height floors to route all the thick bundles of copper cables thick as sewer pipes). Really mysterious buildings.
Whoops, yes, sorry
The whole WiFi story on Macs is beyond silly. I recently did this on a recent model Macbook Air after installing Linux on it and ended up with a dock and an ethernet cable because I needed the files that were present on the box before installing linux because there are so many variations that this is the only failsafe way to get WiFi that actually works.
Real question: what's your exit strategy for your startup?

If the exit strategy is to get acquired, don't worry about it. You will make money and get to leave before the mess begins.

If your goal is to go public, it's almost guaranteed that you will end up in this situation eventually. Most of the corporate insanity is driven by public company antics and having to show growth every quarter.

The two examples I think of when I try to come up with "companies that don't suck" are Patagonia and REI. Both are private. In the case of Patagonia, the founder has spoken out against the quest for growth as it's a driver of so many bad things. I don't know much about REI but I'm sure if they went public quality would go downhill as well.

You are either serving people or serving Wall St - in my experience it's not possible to serve both.
A silver-coated umbrella is very effective at protecting the face as well as some of the upper body (or the whole body, if the sun is directly overhead or the umbrella is huge), except for UV reflected from elsewhere which I think is usually not significant.

It depends on x86 addressing modes, but tldr lookup tables:

You load 1 address if eax is 0 and a different on if it’s 1. There’s also a jump instruction so you can implement a conditional jump through mov.

I've never worked at a place that could reasonably be broad-brushed as a meritocracy. Every company employs humans, and humans bring their humanness to their jobs.

Some places are closer to a real meritocracy than others, but ones that think they are tend to be further from it than ones that don't.

iPhone, knowledge, skill, another half million in fancy equipment, and you are good to go!

Seriously though, there was an astounding amount of cool gear in the behind the scenes. If it was just a guy shooting handheld iPhone using his skill and knowledge, that's one thing. It seems to be a different value proposition to take all the equipment, and crew, from a multi million dollar production company, and just swap the camera for an iPhone. It is extremely impressive quality demonstration, but not clearly accessible to the typical iPhone purchaser.
There's a lot of space between $100 and $16,000, a lot.

> I don't think anyone would argue that it's safe to drive 10 mph over the speed limit on a redesigned street

Speed limits are set for many reasons. In good conditions, such as very light traffic, good visibility, dry road, limited access, reasonable maintenance of vehicle and road, it's not unreasonable for the safe speed to be 20 mph or more over the posted limit, depending on what went into setting the posted limit.
It's almost certainly less. Keep in mind though that your treatment isn't 100% effective either, particularly considering the hormonal changes involved.
That was an excellent explanation of doing a pro video shoot/post-prod.

As they noted, the camera, itself, was almost irrelevant (except for that ProRes Log thing).

It shows how much work goes into video/movie production.

The formula I heard from a video editor, was that every second of final, is about a half hour of post.
What WeWork's bankruptcy means for Boston's struggling office market
I've heard a lot about Bridgewater and frankly don't understand how they hire anyone. If you're smart enough to get offers at top-tier funds surely you'd rank BW last because of this (very public) insanity.

I'm a long-time T-Mobile customer, and I believe, 100%, they're worse since the merger and it's probably at least in some measure related. The merger definitely didn't help me. Once I needed to make a change to my plan (and therefore could no longer remain grandfathered into my old plan) I was paying more for service that has not been as good.

We've also got AT&T in our house, and it's far worse, even after the degradation of T-Mobile.

I think if the premise behind this lawsuit is that the consolidation did the damage, though, the plaintiffs have quite a row to hoe. Sprint was circling the drain prior to the merger. Can they argue that Sprint just going away and having their assets (like spectrum licenses) sold off to satisfy creditors after they went bankrupt was healthier for competition? That seems highly speculative.

I'm not sure what the solution is, and I don't think the merger was good, but I don't see that disallowing it would've improved this particular market.
I've just linked to the current reality - large operators (eg: people that meet the global steel demand by delivering ~ one billion tonne of iron ore per year via operating large fleets of diggers, trucks, trains, etc 24/7/365) have already built and are building out more green hydrogen infrastructure and investing serious money into better electrolysers, etc.

With an excess of sunlight hydrogen can be used to generate electricity at night to recharge mobile equipment batteries and cable powered semi mobile equipment, with conversion of hydrogen to ammonia it can be bulk shipped to large scale generation plants elsewhere.

> Consider looking at the disastrous situation in California for people with hydrogen powered cars.

Not especially relevant here to the current reality of large scale green hydrogen generation for direct industrial application to reduce greenhouse gas emmissions though, is it?

Californians struggling with small cars doesn't negate what else is happening in our current reality.

Why are you comparing default behavior of macOS with Linux after “a bit of theming”. You can easily install a tiling window manager on macOS if that’s your thing.
There can be control flow. MOV an address into the right spot in the interrupt vector table then do a MOV that causes a fault that calls the right interrupt (such as a page fault).
Sure, write a personal check then and expect a lengthy hold. Or something else on the risk vs. PITA vs. cost framework.

Point is, wires are cheap for what they do. They aren't your only option, but all options have tradeoffs.

Could you elaborate? I just moved to Germany and was thinking if not going to NL was a mistake.
MISRA C is total nonsense. If you need that then you should not be using C. Either you can just write the thing in straight assembler while observing the same set of rules and the result will be more readable (or well, COBOL which is more or less an equivalent to C with MISRA C rules) or you should use some high level language intended for that kind of application where the compiler can check for the issues that this ruleset tries to handle, which means Ada (or another application-specific weird Pascal/Modula dialect like CHILL or whatever).
As with the last time, the side by side comparison with GCC, especially the control flow, is hilarious.
I'm sorry, but you've clearly just skimmed this and haven't worked with, nor understood, the purpose of MISRA C. For starters, unless it's changed substantially since I worked with it, MISRA C forbids use of functions like malloc which rules it out for an enormous number of applications. Plus it's a little bit fuzzy in how some of the rules should be interpreted. Like there was one where it says there shouldn't be commented-out fragments of code (our response was to try to parse the lines of each comment, if they succeeded raise a MISRA-specific compile error). There were a few more weird things with MISRA C, but these were a couple that stuck with me.

It's not a "sane" subset of C you can just pick up and run with. It's a narrow subset of C for a very specific use case.
Forgive my lack of exposure to safety-critical C, but without dynamic allocation how does a program handle large state with indeterminate lifetimes? Or when you need a temporary buffer that’s too big to live on the stack?
I assume no air conditioning. Maybe heat. No radio.

> In C, you have to be really careful with your flow control and memory allocations

I was going to ask if an early return could still be called "early" if there were resources to free, but I would say error checking after locking an object would still qualify (releasing the lock being necessary).

I don't understand what you're trying to say here. Most of the actually important housing policy isn't decided by direct vote, it's handled by an unelected committee which uses in-person feedback provided during open sessions to make decisions. A quick review of The Discourse turns up plenty of evidence that these types of arrangements often result in uneven participation in local planning decisions across demographics. If we want house policy to be "democratic" we need to consider how to plausibly canvas the local community and balance their interests against the well-being of the wider region.
