An even more radical proposal:

There's no restrictions on insider trading, except that the disclosure requirement is immediate (upon trade execution) and non-anonymous. AKA, the price of a stock is reflective of the information available - and any insider that tries to take advantage of such information will necessarily reveal it the nano-second they make the trade.
Huh, looks like my other comment disappeared, anyways that seems remarkably unlikely, at least compared to random 'bashers'.
I encounter inappropriate `overflow: scroll` that should have been `overflow: auto` very frequently (in the scheme of things), probably averaging over once a month.

Your use case sounds like it might be better handled by `scrollbar-gutter: stable`, though I might adjust my judgement on seeing it.

Sep 17 2001 (1000684800) is a special date from git-format-patch. Its significance is lost to time.
Of course.

I was just saying that a lot of the time hashmaps don't get very many entries.

There is serialization and deserialization where Cap'n Proto, Flatbuffers, and Protocol Buffers have a savings over JSON by not repeating key names of a list of maps.

Regardless of the issue here, I just want to say that I'm glad we put up such high standards for allowing people with skills into this country.

Because if we didn't, we'd have random people just crossing the border at will and living in the country with no repercussions whatsoever.

Oh wait, huh. So, why do we make skilled people prove with mountains of paperwork and credentials that they should be allowed to enter the country?
If you have $100,000 in cash, you have privilege. I don't know what part you can't see.

> There are actually people that aren't self interested in public service, they do exist.

relying on altruism is not what i would call scalable nor stable.

The rules of the system should be such that the optimal/desirable behaviour is also the selfish behaviour. If something selfish or damaging is beneficial to the individual at the expense of someone else, then the rules must be changed to even it back out.
It's the English translation. They've also written the date backwards, "November 10", showing this is an American English translation.
>Improve the current state of accessibility

I sure hope they use some of this money to fix the longstanding gtk3 and now gtk4 bug where pasting a file path into a gtk file->open dialog will result in an error. Keyboard input isn't a priority for GNOME desktop environment but Gtk as infrastructure needs keyboard-first support (even if it's not a default) for accessibility. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/5872

One of the reasons for byzantine regulations and procedures in the first place is exactly to extract extraneous informal payments to those in position to smooth over the roadbumps which their kind created to begin with.

You can work, but you can't get paid for said work unless it's during a school break. At least that was ABA rules around ten years ago, and followed assiduously by everyone from private practitioners to the federal government. Nobody will hire you when you study for the bar (although if you apply outside of the legal field, you can. I worked in a kitchen when I studied for the bar). Although you'll have to have a body of work in order to get someone to pay you anyway, so if you're not the type who'd go from law review to big law or teaching, you can rack up a lot more hours if you're willing to do the unpaid busywork that comes with, say, the Public Defender's office, or the Prosecutor's Office. Internship + externship + paid work added together with a summer's head start I managed to cram in almost 3000 hours before I took the bar and had a job waiting for me right away, but please don't do that, because you'll get burned out really quickly and possibly become very jaded about the work. I spent one spring doing only juvenile cases and it totally fucked me up. And this was after I had worked on two capital cases (neither got the death penalty, thankfully), and in the early days of Facebook I scraped the personal details of residents of two counties for peremptory challenges during voir dire (hung jury, both murder cases). I don't think anyone in my class came even close to how much work I put in. I practiced for 6 years and then quit.
Oh wow; I could swear I saw Iowa at the top of a bunch of “states by state of renewable energy” lists, usually followed by south dakota. I feel like there must be some difference in how these lists are measuring things that I’m missing.

EB2 requirements: BS or equivalent + 5 years of progressive experience. Or, alternatively, a very light version of EB-1 "exceptional ability" checklist. The fees are couple grand and the major expense is in interviewing and rejecting enough candidates to justify the need. You seem to be confusing it with EB-1.

While it's true these people already work there etc. etc. EB2, just like EB3, requires the DOL certification that "there are not sufficient U.S. workers able, willing, qualified and available to accept the job opportunity in the area of intended employment". [1]

This sucks for firms like Apple because there are quite enough U.S. workers able, willing, qualified and available to take a whole bunch of jobs that are being held by a BS with 5 years of experience... Imagine you are an officer of the U.S. government and a lawyer from Apple sends you an application for a, for example, front end developer. Will you honestly believe that there are literally no U.S. workers able, willing, qualified and available to take such a job? At Apple no less. It's not "some folks won't take a job at Apple/FB/Google/etc for political reasons, so there!". It's literally a claim that there are no US citizens or LPRs who could do that job. How credible you'd think such a claim is?

>Did you end up getting a CS degree and then compare the intellectual satisfaction?

No, but we could always flip the question since we know you didn't do EE. ;) I did however slap on a math minor and find out I'm way better at abstract algebra than I have any reason to be.

I'll sum it up as "I'm just more of a frog than a bird", but I don't really think that's it. I think relevancy selection is just an inherently hard philosophical problem and it's really hard to actually grok the internal or aesthetic kicks smart people get at different things.

Dynamical systems tickle my fancy, so do group actions and finite fields and generating functions, the incompleteness theorems don't, go figure - at least not present day me, a depressed teenager me looking for philosophical solutions in all the wrong places ate that stuff up.

Care to elaborate?

Focusing a light, while still leaving the falloff ""spherical"", makes it so the center of the sphere is not at the light source, it's a virtual point significantly behind it. With a narrow beam, being 1 meter from the light and 10 meters from the light might only be 2x different in brightness, or even less.

And for lights with significant width, you drift away from spherical falloff the closer you are and the wider they are. As you get quite close, and the light fills a lot of your field of view, you approach the situation of an infinite wall of light and that has linear falloff.

These lights are huge and wide and can have tight beam angles.

> For example, I am an EU citizen living in Canada. GDPR does not apply to any company interacting with me.

Weirdly enough that is not true. The sheer fact that you are an EU citizen covers you under GDPR. Now, you may not have recorse as the company you're dealing with does not have an entity in Europe that you could sue.
I loved the bit where Fisheries and Wildlife refused to provide the shark density information because they didn't trust their own department with it!

Apparently SpaceX must wait patiently to take humanity to the stars because sharkfin poachers have infiltrated spies into a wildly unrelated government agency.

I feel like SpaceX should just launch the damned rocket and then if anyone from the government takes issue just demand a public explanation. As in, literally, get the busybody bureaucrat from Fisheries and Wildlife to stand up behind a podium and explain themselves on live, national television.

"Err... you see, Mr Musk was clearly in the wrong here because... umm... we couldn't... umm... share information internally to complete the appropriate paperwork, so... umm..."

I agree with you that https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38222537 invoked Emerson as a cliché, which was neither interesting nor helpful.

Do you know why this is? This seems to be true across a variety of products, including way more interesting fast food offerings.
I worked partway through this book called "Building Git" by James Coglan, a few years ago, which beautifully expanded on the internal structure of git. Anyone interested should definitely check it out. It is definitely much more accessible than suffering through the official Git documentation which must have been written by a bunch of robot bureaucrats. No offense, but its terrible.
Gotta burn the candle at both ends a bit to make it big. Spend some time off in the far vistas of emerging tech - some just looking at how ordinary people live their lives, and thinking about how to improve that.

There's a huge difference between the occasional company getting the occasional boost when some individual lawmaker or a small group of them can finagle something good for a company compared to every single lawmaker being aligned and wanting certain companies that they all agree on to succeed over others purely because it's beneficial for them and not necessarily because the market views them as better or the general public benefits.

A free market is a system that's based on emergent behavior. As we see time and time again, even the best and most useful and narrowly focused regulations that are beneficial when first implemented need constant review to make sure they aren't later doing more harm than good. Carving out a big chunk of the market as likely to get special behavior regardless of the normal inputs and outputs could outright be disastrous, IMO.
That's a compliment in my opinion.
Hmm, so 730k * 30 = 21.9M... with $21M and $12M figures in play, there may have been a digit transposition mistake somewhere, plus maybe truncation instead of rounding... Not that those are lesser mistakes, of course.

I think the issue is that business surplus concentrates power to a greater degree than consumer surplus. Concentrated power, be it a business, a government, etc is typically bad because it can be used to distort the market in its favor (i.e. corruption). So it makes sense to me why even folks who favor efficient markets don't want to shrink consumer surplus, at least not faster than business surplus.

In the case of a single restaurant like here, I don't see a huge issue though.
Because they don’t want to give you money for a counterfeit, then have you disappear?
I suppose e's connection to hyperbolic geometry might suggest a relationship with the implicit formula x^2 - y^2 = 1. And I guess log2's behavior would be very much connected to that since it only differs from the natural log by a constant factor.

Given that most material needed for renewables can be recycled, has substitutes and that there is no need for a combustible there is quite a debate there.

They also centralize all the risk. Operating a “pay me $X/month” service is really complicated legally, ethically, etc.

In a way, OF is valuable to platforms like Twitter and Instagram, because it has monopolized a lot of the riskiest cash flow that those companies would prefer to avoid / explicitly disallow in their ToS for a “subscribe to this influencer” service.

If OF had their own discovery platform, they’d have to deal with the thorny editorial problem of ranking. In the current setup, they can totally sidestep it. It would probably cost them more to operate discovery than it’s worth.

why shouldn't surplus be destroyed?

Capitalism is a tool, not a law of nature. Perhaps we quite simply do not want to eliminate all surplus, because we like the result of a system with surplus.
Transferring goods from those "with lower willingness to pay to those with higher willingness to pay" does not increase economic efficiency, it changes the allocative efficiency. But at scale, in many situations, scalping merely becomes rent seeking. Rent seeking reduces allocative efficiency. How much the rent-seeking of scalpers offsets the allocative efficiency is up for debate.

But all of this is sideways to when and whether scalping is moral or, at least, preferable in society. Not all actions which increase allocative efficiency are things we actually want in society.

Otherwise, kidnapping and ransoming children back to their parents would be a boon industry.

If only that was the bar exam. Now it's all UBE so what you end up with is 2/3 multiple choice questions that bear little relationship to actual law you'll be practicing, and 1/3 are answers to absurd hypotheticals that you'd answer in a formulaic fashion, situations that you will pretty much never see IRL and certainly will never be in a position where you can't look up the law, except this one time.

Oh, and the software that's used to conduct the test is practically malware in the way it operates. At the NY State Bar exam I took there were about 100 people who didn't finish because the crappy software crashed and you had to handwrite the whole thing from the first question on. If it crashes your computer, you might as well leave since you won't have time to finish.

Really, the bar exam has virtually nothing in common with the actual practice of law. It's a separate skill, like taking the SATs. Although, there are so many legal niches that it's unlikely that testing real law would really resemble how legal practicecs work today anyway. It's pretty much an arbitrary test that might fry your computer. Hopefully they at least they should have released a newer version of the software in the intervening years.

My three-year-old had a 4-inch teratoma removed from (well, with) one ovary earlier this year. Without having any idea about the prevalence of teratomas in humans historically, I wonder: is it scarier to have symptoms and not know what it is, or to know what it is and not have the means to treat it. The fact that it's real and not just a tearout from a Junji Ito story is frightening enough in modern times.
