Dude gets off the phone after learning the information, and immediately calls the brokerage to write puts that expire 11 days later (strike 1).

He nails the strike price (keeping below 70; strike 2), and when the brokerage calls later he openly admits on the call that he traded on a nonpublic rumor (strike 3).

Absolutely zero subterfuge. He either has a blatant disregard for the law, or is an extremely high-functioning idiot, or both.

You mean like how our law enforcement works currently? Should the government all put trackers on our vehicles instead? It will consistently prevent things much worse than some students skipping class to go to the bathroom, like hit-and-runs.

> Nevertheless, Hamas’s devastating attack on October 7 caught Shin Bet and the rest of Israel’s multibillion-dollar defense system entirely by surprise. The intelligence disaster was even more striking considering Hamas carried out much of its preparations in plain sight, including practice assaults on mock-ups of the border fence and Israeli settlements—activities that were openly reported. Hamas-led militant groups even posted videos of their training online. Israelis living close to the border observed and publicized these exercises with mounting alarm, but were ignored in favor of intelligence bureaucracies’ analyses and, by extension, the software that had informed them. Israeli conscripts, mostly young women, monitoring developments through the ubiquitous surveillance cameras along the Gaza border, composed and presented a detailed report on Hamas’s preparations to breach the fence and take hostages, only to have their findings dismissed as “an imaginary scenario.” The Israeli intelligence apparatus had for more than a year been in possession of a Hamas document that detailed the group’s plan for an attack.

> Well aware of Israel’s intelligence methods, Hamas members fed their enemy the data that they wanted to hear, using informants they knew would report to the Israelis. They signaled that the ruling group inside Gaza was concentrating on improving the local economy by gaining access to the Israeli job market, and that Hamas had been deterred from action by Israel’s overwhelming military might. Such reports confirmed that Israel’s intelligence system had rigid assumptions of Hamas behavior, overlaid with a racial arrogance that considered Palestinians incapable of such a large-scale operation. AI, it turned out, knew everything about the terrorist except what he was thinking.

That sounds a lot like a company that's implementing data-driven "best practices" from some expensive management consultants.

Rarity of water is a problem for nuclear. Note Palo Verde NPP in Arizona is "... the only large nuclear power plant in the world that is not located near a large body of water" because it runs on wastewater. China is certainly interested in HTGR and MSR as something that can be deployed in inland areas.

It seems possible that some kind of combustion with carbon capture could work but it is one of those technologies (like the fast breeder) which gets talked about endlessly but so far has had very little real deployment. The dominant amine stripper systems on gas turbines than run on demand don't look as good as they do on coal burning power plants, but they've struggled. Oxy-fuel combustion and Chemical Looping Combustion look like they could run around some of those problems on paper but after all these years there seems to be one large carbon capture facility that is still running

I think it's particularly bad in the US. When I was looking to get a PhD here, I emailed a ton of professors asking if it was possible to do the PhD part time so I could keep my job, and most of them just didn't get back to me, and the ones that did acted like what I suggested was a completely ridiculous proposition.

On the other hand, when I looked at UK universities, every professor I emailed got back to me, and while not all of them were amenable to part time remote PhDs, all of them did know someone who was and was happy to forward my request over and they actually did!

I'm not 100% sure why the UK seems to be a little less horrible on this front, because eventually I was able to get into a a PhD program with the express understanding that it's part time, and I have a regular job.

One of the (maybe more) obvious downside being the increase in mutations this brings, in the order of 1 full generation of mutations for every decade the fathers are older for instance.

Came back to answer but the comment got flagged, but I think I remember it being that he chose not to publish RNC info received at roughly the same time as the DNC emails.

That said, I just fact-checked myself and found that the RNC stuff was already public and that was Assange's reason for not publishing. So I'm not sure anything in the comment I was replying to can be substantiated.
It's not just great grandparents, but the family calculus on grandparents changes significantly as well. If my parents were 35 when I was born, and I don't have children until 35, my parents are 70. With a life expectancy of 80, my children never really get a chance to know my parents. Whereas if each generation is having children at age 25, my children will likely be able to know their grandparents for 30 years.

I have no idea if it's good or bad, but it's interesting to think about. I do have to wonder if it affects how younger people perceive the past, since they have less of a direct connection to the past.

I keep wondering where we would be now if we had not spent a decade or two eagerly running down that lane, before reassessing the be all end all solution nature OOP promised encapsulation to be. Perhaps not as far as we are after doing the meandering that we did, I think OOP has contributed a lot to the post-OOP world we live in now. It's not gone, it has just been demoted from ideology to tool.
No argument here ;)
How do you manage to convince employers of such language choices? (Do you need to convince?) And what kind of jobs or positions are that? I would love to use my skills like that, instead of building CRUD in Python, not really being able to apply my skillset, but employers are not ready to make the smallest leap it seems.
Posting this here, because it was advice given to me by one of the founders we all look up to on HN when I had my first child (on our 4th now).

"If you are going to have kids and run a company, you all need to sleep." and then he introdued me to a sleep trainer/coach.

"No way, we are not sleep training" was my thought, but I quickly realized that there is a difference between sleep normalization and what we know as sleep training.

The sleep coach gave us a completely customized regime for 2 weeks. Once the baby is 6 months or so, you can start. (up until 6 months, I just slept with the kids in my arms every night. Oh my god I miss those nights now. It makes me cry to think about how wonderful it felt.)

We've done it 4 times now and all our children gladly sleep from 7pm to 6:30am every single night. (The older ones now go to sleep more like 9pm). Everyone in the house is rested every day and it makes a big difference. Those two weeks are a lot of work for one of the parents (it is specified that one person should be focused on it) but in our experience it works by the 3rd night or so.

The main takeaway from the aproach is to disassociate eating and interaction from the act of sleeping. It created buffers between feeding times and play times and when you finally put them down in their crib to sleep. If they do wake up during the night they don't think "oh, if I cry I will get to eat right away." and they self-soothe and go back to sleep. If they do wake up hungry, it's a failure of the parent to have ensured they've eaten properly. You adjust as they grow. (A hungry cry is totally different from a discomfort or bored cry. You learn them pretty quickly.)

When I put my 10 month old in his crib to sleep now he looks back at me briefly and then turns over and gets in his sleeping position and he's asleep before I leave the room. It's such a relief knowing that no matter how badly a day goes, you can sleep that night.

I've had a lot of friends think this isn't for them, but 100% of the ones I have convinced to do it (and in some cases have just paid for) have been successful.

I'll also add that 2 of our kids were "colicky" and were very unfcomfortable during the day for their first year. Even still we were able to have them sleeping the entire night most nights after 6 months.

Again, there is no "cry it out". In fact, the baby almost never cries at all in this process in my experience.
I think, in a sense, that part is already over. Entities that encompass both ends of the spectrum exist and any remaining gaps are filled by public/private partnership ( and hailed as a great thing just about anywhere ).

The scenario of a private corporate entity wielding that power has already come to fruition if you look at what Google or Facebook has available on its users.

I think that is the main reason why I am not as.. restrictive on use of LLMs and AI, because I see it as a form evening out the playing field at least a little bit.

I think they're just saying it's a slippery slope. It starts out with good intentions we all agree on, but then continues to slide and more and more of our freedoms erode as they crank up the boiling pot ever so slowly.

During my junior year at high school, someone wrote a bomb threat as a joke on the stall. Suddenly every building entry had a backpack checking station you had to go through. Every bathroom break was scrutinized and logged, and only one person was allowed in the bathroom at a time. Small school (my class had 36 kids or so) but it's a great example of one person ruining everything for everybody.
I looked it up: 44%. That's more than is common for governing parties in many political systems (the rest coming from coalition partners for a parliamentary majority), so it's entirely fair to say that NSDAP had people's mandate.
Research confirms a narrowing of families with fewer children and fewer cousins, but it also notes it's more likely for people to know their ancestors:

In their analysis, Alburez-Gutierrez and his colleagues made three major predictions about family structures, also called kinship networks. First, extended family size will likely decrease over time. Second, the composition of families will narrow: Alburez-Gutierrez explains that people will have fewer close-aged relatives in their own generation, such as siblings and cousins, and more ancestors, such as grandparents and great-grandparents. Third, age gaps between generations will grow as people increasingly have children later in life.

Another thing to keep in mind: there is a lot of variability depending on the community and social standards. People in Utah will have a different experience than folks in the Bay Area. In rural northern New York and Ohio, the Amish population has exploded with couples marrying in their early 20s and families typically having at least 5 or 6 kids, sometimes more than 10.

My spouse had our kids in her late 30s, but they have no first cousins on either of the side of the family (of the 6 people in our generation, we're the only two who had kids). Of all of our kids' dozens of friends growing up, only one had more than two siblings and they were an immigrant family.

OTOH, my wife works with people who had kids in their late teens and early 20s and are grandparents by the age of 40, and that's typical in the community.
There's a lot of grey here. What does "hanging out" mean? If my weird uncle is (unknown to me) in ISIS does spending thanksgiving with him count as "hanging out"? ISIS is at least pretty specific, but what counts as a White Nationalist Militia? Both of these can be redefined to capture more and more of the population if desired.
ummmmmmm I mean I guess you could at least try not caring how often a kid is relieving themselves.... you could absolutely make basic bodily functions into a "beat the clock" with a side of a consequences if you'd like though.

Wow, that paper was super useful. Thanks for sharing. Page 2 is where it shows the breakdown of all of the data sources, including % of dataset and the total disk sizes.
"Number of kids you have" is a strange place to focus on environmental impact, don't you think? A modest household with 6 kids, even one that lives to developed-world standards, has much less of an environmental impact than a single billionaire with a private jet. Like, orders of magnitudes less. If the family has one car and doesn't eat a lot of beef they probably have less of an impact than a family with 2 kids and 2 cars that goes to McDonald's a few times a week.

Basically, the environmental impact of having more kids is sort of drowned out by various consumer choices, which are in turn drowned out by societal choices that no one family can impact at all.
I don't understand the problem this solves. It appears this is for a business to track project expenses? Don't businesses use actual accounting software to track expenses, etc.? How does this reflect or compete with that?

My spreadsheet is pretty accurate. If i look back my month end reconciliation is usually within 10% of what I budgeted, plus or minus.

For me, my projections are more accurate than YNAB beceause my expenses are not static. My home heating will drop off now its spring and my AC bill will start going up in July. I copy expenses from previous years over and adjust as I go.

For example last week

So then later when I project the next month I go and look at budget versus actuals and so forth.

My use case is really cash flow management not savings goals, I have that as an expense that sends it into a separate bucket.

The kids who agree with their closed-minded parents probably aren't going online to rant about it.
