I've noticed this in a lot of fields. The people best at making money are often those who have no emotional attachment to it, and treat it just like a number to be maximized. Oftentimes the best surgeons are the ones who don't really care about patients as people (witness the Dr. House trope, or McDreamy on Grey's Anatomy) but rather as bodies to be patched up.

Personally I think my big-company employer is deeply dysfunctional, but I (unfortunately) seem to be relatively good at operating within it, wracking up launches and promos for myself and my team. I suspect this is because I don't try to pretend it's something that it's not: I know that I'm in a fucked up system and nothing I do has any meaning long-term and don't pretend otherwise, which lets me look at things as they actually are and determine my best course of action rationally. A lot of other people are blinded by the halo effect and try to operate within the company as they think it should be, which is self-defeating because that's not reality.

It might be the same for Americans trying to navigate the American political system. We're so blinded by the myths and propaganda that we've been fed since childhood that we can't see how the system actually operates.
Why is it difficult (geometric operations)? Do you have any suggestions on how to learn more about it?
That's not the order things occurred. When Israel left Gaza it left it to the Palestinian authority and it wasn't blockaded (there was some partial blockade but it was practically open). The present walls and barriers around Gaza were put in place after the disengagement as a response to specific attacks coming out of Gaza.

The previous restrictions on Gaza were also a result of attacks coming out of Gaza on Israeli civilians.

If the population was starving while Hamas, the government of Gaza, managed to smuggle in RPGs, assault rifles, lathes, trucks, rockets, mortars, sniper rifles, heavy machine guns etc. then clearly the issue is a matter of their priorities, not Israel. Hamas stole concrete to make tunnels, used water pipes to make rockets, was the elected government, and is completely responsible if its population is starving (which I don't think was true anyways). You're also somehow conveniently leaving Egypt out of the picture. Why should Israel feed its enemies (and allow them to work in Israel, and give them water and power). Egypt could have done all that. But Hamas didn't only pick a fight with Israel- they also collaborated with ISIS in Sinai and picked a fight with Egypt.

They "randomly attacked Israel one day" because they are consumed by hate and religious fanaticism. Just listen to what they say. If they chose peace, they'd get peace, Israel has no interest in randomly attacking them.

Sure you can spend thousands on racks of servers and UPS/generators but you can also spend less than $500.

Personally I rent a unit in a quadplex and have:

Old 42" rack - $50 from old employer
10 year old HP Microserver G7 for storage - $250 new
repurposed old desktop virtual machines - Free
Cheap dumb switch - $50
I don't think there is much of a contradiction, as deontologists do not claim perfect knowledge.

Discovering new facts that throw new light on the circumstances of old actions doesn't mean e.g. an evil action became good, but that it was revealed as having been such all along.
Without a doubt, they have one hell of an engineering team.

After a life on windows and some periods on linux, apple managed to refine their os and hardware to the point where I can say, it doesn’t get in the way and it “just works”, which, I think, is what most professionals want.
The analogy is more like if the government of China decided which books should go on display in our libraries. Only, American teens are on TikTok way more than they visit the library. You might have trouble finding books about the Tiananmen Square protests, too.

Data cleaning, studying data, looking for patterns, trying to figure out why the A/B test failed despite promising results offline. Finding / debugging annoying bugs that caused that failure. Working with infra to operationalize some new way of doing inference in production. Wondering why certain features take so long to compute. Trying to scale up to dozens, hundreds, thousands of requests per second. Studying p99.

Oh and occasionally you train a model on that data. But usually that's not the hard part. That's just the tip of a very very large pyramid with lots of underpinnings.
The workplace is better when people avoid conversations about religion and politics. It's more friendly for a wider variety of people.
A friend is a vet and frequently rolls their eyes when I mention that I'm going into a doctor's office to review lab results. But in that meatspace discussion, we talked about dietary changes, upcoming medications and potential interactions, how my primary should get some records from another doctor, and I was able to ask about if an elective medical procedure was advisable, given my medical history. It was easily 20 minutes of relaxed discussion about an actual medical plan.

If it was three minutes of "these are your lab results; you should/shouldn't come in for a follow-up," I'd agree that it should be a phone call that's covered under the cost of the original appointment. But given that vet friend is constantly pressed for time and doesn't get to bill separately for those callbacks, I can't imagine why my primary doctor would want to do the same.

I don't want medical professionals responsible for my care to squeeze things in when they have time. Insurance is likely to be even more of a pain in the ass, and cramming in tasks because they're unpaid means lower quality of care.

Looks like the marketing worked on some.
Externalities are damages. But that's not what these kinds of laws are trying to address.

The market is willing to provide car service to people in wheelchairs, for a particular price. A lot of people in wheelchairs can't afford that price. The law is trying to create a subsidy.

In principle the people who want the subsidy should be the ones paying for it. If you think subsidizing this is a good idea then you give your money to a charity, they use the money to subsidize the service, and then the market provides the service because somebody is paying for it.

You can also decide you don't want to be a libertarian and instead you want the government to subsidize the service out of tax revenue. Libertarians don't like this, because now you're taking money from the people who didn't agree to subsidize it without their consent. But also, politicians don't like this, because it's spending tax money and they'd prefer to spend that on their cronies in some government-adjacent industry.

So what politicians do instead is pass it as an unfunded mandate on whatever industry. This is still a tax, but now it's not a tax on e.g. rich people, it's a tax on other ride sharing customers and drivers. Who tend not to be rich people, because rich people have their own cars or private limousines or planes. Then we get a covert tax on the poor so that the overt tax money can go to defense contractors and other politically-connected corporations. It's at this point that you start to wonder if the libertarians might have been onto something.
It's not like it cannot be done - all London taxis are required to be wheelchair accessible. But it does require political will.

The C++ world is keenly interested in having a package manager. I believe there are a few competing ones now.

All I've seen in practice is "vendoring", which amounts to copy the source into your tree with some degree of review or patching, and then go on as before. After being initially indignant that we didn't use libboost from the OS that approach has really grown on me.

Dependency management is a horrendous mess. Moving the logic into package managers hides that mess from the day to day development which is very nice. However, following a debugger into the binaries that came from apt install is not a great time. Patching the source to behave differently while trying to work out what is going wrong is rather harder too.

If you do the vendored thing, you also get the interesting feature where you can checkout the source tree as it was eight months ago to correspond with whatever a customer is asking about and it builds and runs, instead of telling you that the dependencies no longer exist.

I'm now heading further in that direction. All the libraries should be built from source in the same repo, but preferably by tools that are also in that repo. I'm going to end up with a C compiler checked in as well, much like the embedded toolchain people are prone to doing.
It's not a monopoly though. My point is that there is a relevant technical difference, and we should be accurate in the words that we use.

In Canada the major issue is that zoning bylaws are generally 30 years old and so no one can do anything “as of right” which means that everyone has to go through a very long public engagement process and negotiation / shake down from the municipality to fund whatever the latest political desire is. So 6 months is, unfortunately, very very optimistic. Most of my developer friends spend 2-3 years and then still have to fight through the tribunals to get to build anything, even things ostensibly in line with what the city says it wants (like density around new rapid transit).
Apple is finding out they do not have more power than government. Apple isn't flailing at all, their competition limiting decisions are forcing government to regulate them.

Vercel hosts the front-end, but the back-end is whats down right now. I thought I could rely on my Always Free Oracle cloud instance but I guess not.

The problem with making a static site is that there are over 800,000 SEC filers, so it would be impossible to query all of them and store it.

I hadn't expected so much traffic, so I really have no clue how to handle this without excessive cloud charges. The best I've done so far is to look into free hosting for open-source projeccts and add a donation link to the homepage.

i don't think the build system is overkill. but it's the same phenomenon as docker: if you grew up with it then it's easy to use and solves all your problems easily and you've probably forgotten that it was ever difficult. but if not, then it's this arcane monolith that you've no hope of actually understanding. this applies to every general-purpose build system.
Most virtues aren't really suitable for self-experimentation, because the effects take a lifetime to accumulate. Consider loyalty, a key virtue in Tolkien's books. You can't just A/B test different levels of loyalty so see which has better consequences for you. Loyalty is established over many years, and the benefits come back to you over many decades, so it's not something you can experiment with in your own lifetime.

It's like long-term health. You can't determine whether cigarettes are good or bad for your longevity by any self-experiment. You can only look at historical data on others.

Likewise, deontologists look at other people's lives to decide which virtues seem worth adopting. It's very time-consuming, because people don't reliably self-report their own virtues. The only way to know if someone is loyal or not is by observing, over a big chunk of their life, how they treat people around them. You have to know a lot of people quite well for a long time to make reliable observations on how virtues affect people's lives.

Since you have to adopt virtues fairly young to get the benefit of them, you don't have time for all this observation. The best you can do is to read the books of wise elders and adopt the virtues they agree on.

Very interesting project, I like the overview. I also really like that you took the finance industry as a theme for your project.

>> Every company in the United States

Sorry for being so fussy but I highly recommended changing the word 'company' / not using it in the future, as the title is quite misleading. No private company in the US has to register with the SEC or has to file with the SEC. 'Investment advisors', who also go by other aliases like 'asset manager', have to file a 13F filing only if they a) are registered with the SEC due to fund marketing purposes and b) if they have, as you already mentioned, over $100 million dollars under management (not 'in holdings'). This is also why large family offices (.e.g. Bayshore Global Management of Sergey Brin) won't show up in any SEC records as they meet the second but not the first criteria - same goes pretty much for any non asset-management company (e.g. McDonald's) as they do not raise money for fund vehicles. However, you have take this into account on your website, and further below you wrote "money manager" which is correct in finance jargon.

I hope this gives you a better understanding, keep up the great work.

I pivoted from C# to Elixir after a former manager (and now friend and co-founder) put me onto it as part of a project we were doing for a high volume eCommerce solution. I did another C# job after and then when the opportunity struck, I dove head first into full time Elixir development. I have no regrets. It feels like any problem I have can be solved with a bit of elbow grease and some proper thinking. Phoenix is a bit too opinionated for my liking, but I can't deny just how much more productive it is for me vs C#/.NET. All 'round, my career is the better for working with Erlang/Elixir.

Your take is the bizarre one. Who is 'the board'? Who is 'they' and why should they wait for the lawyers? There's at least 2 factions on the temporary board, an unknown successor board, and the old board had at least 2 factions with people moving between it over 2023 as well as leaving the board, with 1 person (Adam D'Angelo) still on it.

The “whatever people want, where very they want” part is where there is massive disagreement and everything gets bogged down. It takes leadership and our politicians are too busy talking about ArriveCAN or some other waste of air to show any form of leadership.

At risk of being accused of whataboutism, why is HN so preoccupied with disinformation and political interference from China when Russia has essentially bought off a large chunk of the GOP and has been super effective at sowing division and radicalizing the views of US citizens for a decade now?

China sucks balls at propaganda in the US. They're terrible at it. You can tell because so many here hate and are terrified of China. Whatever the CCP is trying to do, it isn't working. Yet, on HN, this is all I hear about.

Meanwhile, Putin, as it turns out, isn't really such a bad guy after all.

I'm slightly ashamed to admit that until Israel's propaganda and genocidal response to the Al Aqsa Flood attack, I believed Israel were basically The Good Guys doing their best against terrorist neighbours. I feel like most people in the UK thought like that, and I rarely saw any negatively portrayals of Israel in the MSM.

From what I've learned since, I've been... horrified - and like you said, by their actions going way back.
The plural of anecdote is not data! Looking around at the people surrounding you, you could also easily conclude that everyone has the same skin tone. If you've only ever lived in, say, Scotland, you could erroneously conclude that, on top of everyone having two eyes, every one is also white. It's not until you look past the fact that you're in Scotland biases your dataset to being exclusively white people,
that you see there are other kinds of people out there.

Living in Scotland and sampling your data there, concludes that all humans are white, along with having two eyes.
