What a psychopath.

To anyone who may be in this kind of situation, trust your instincts and leave. It will not get better. You will find other, better opportunities elsewhere. Best lesson I ever learned was from a high level exec that had just started at the company where I worked. He quit in 2 weeks. Impressively, he did it without drama or really even causing bad will - he just told the CEO it wasn't a match, and that the longer he stayed the more detrimental it would be to both himself and the company. I wish I had followed his lead - I was too worried about what it would look like to leave a company so soon after joining.

I'd never considered a technique to strengthen your argument. Put in that light -- it makes it more plausible.

> If we as a society want long liquid trading markets, then we need people like Jane Street to provide that liquidity. If we don't want long liquid trading markets, we can eliminate them and force buyers and sellers to meet all at a given point in time. One is not necessarily better than the other, it's a trade-off.

This is categorically false. Long electronic trading hours are simply a better solution, a more fair solution, a more competitive solution, a more efficient solution, and what the market is demanding. There is no trade off, especially as most liquidity is supplied by automated systems that can operated 24/7/365 if needed.

When you compress transactions into specific time frames it isn't about forcing buyers and sellers to meet, you actually will reduce the numbers of buyers and sellers overall, you will lower the value of the asset, because assets are given liquidity premiums. The more you restrict transactions and reduce liquidity the less utility an asset has. This is one of the often overlooked reasons Bitcoin has more intrinsic value than is assumed at first by observers.

When a primary issuer creates new securities this is very different situation and why an auction is needed, for example for new treasury bonds or any other initial offering. In that situation there is only 1 seller, the issuer, and the question is what is the starting fair price at which buyers appear.

In a secondary market there are many current owners of the asset and many potential sellers. They don't decide to sell or buy independently and then meet. That is simply not what occurs. Instead think that every current owner is a potential seller and every participant who follows that market is a potential buyer. Sellers attract buyers, buyers attract sellers, both when they push the prices around via the market makers. By extending the time period for this dynamic to occur to continuous central limit order books (CLOBs) it make the most efficient process, periodic auctions have been proven to be very poor ideas and results in choice paralysis of participants, CLOBs incentivize higher rates of decision making and healthier dynamics. All properly operated CLOBs will also have a circuit breaker to auctions should time be need to digest rapidly changing information and the continuous book can't be created within some limits.

By having extended market hours you widen the pool of buyers and sellers who can participate. You also allow markets to instantly digest new information as quickly as possible, this is most fair to all participants equally.

Extended trading hours are strictly better than restricted trading hours.
And what do they even mean by "sudden illness"??
Yeah, this may just indicate there are lots of whistleblowers.
Now I'm having flashbacks to Heat Legend memes. Time has flown.
There's a whole mythology about John Barnett, the previous Boeing whistleblower who died. But Barnett's whistleblower case against Boeing had been wrapped up years prior, and his outstanding litigation, over defamation, was insignificant to Boeing's bottom line. Boeing simply didn't have a reasonable motive to be involved in his death; to argue that Boeing had a hand in it, you need to be arguing that Boeing is something more than ruthless.

Barnett's case sparked a lot of interest because it was a suicide. Here, Dean died of an illness, so to pursue a conspiracy-theoretic angle to this story, you again need to suggest that Boeing is more than ruthless (for Barnett, that "more" is "irrational"; for Dean, it's "Bond-villain theatrical").
Corporations also conspire, especially those deeply embedded in the military industrial complex.
It uses Acorn's own ADFS filesystem from the BBC Micro, which was released in 1981 if I remember correctly. MS-DOS and the IBM PC were new that year and not any kind of standard yet. The Acorn MOS and PC DOS are contemporaries. It would be a decade before Linux 0.01 existed, 14 years before FAT32.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Disc_Filing_System

It may look esoteric to you now, but it was a solid pragmatic choice in 1987 when this OS shipped, the same year as OS/2 1.0 and thus rather before HPFS which trailed OS/2 itself by several years as I recall.
I wasn't being sarcastic. I honestly think it would be tough and weird to be a Boeing Employee today.

Imagine being a good honest engineer on the good honest team in a media cycle painting you and your company as incompetent or evil. Imagine reading news articles insinuating that your leadership team is hiring assassins to sneak into hospitals and kill with whistleblowers.

Everything today is just hyperbalized and emotionally cranked up to 10.

Why not signup for a cloud storage provider, and store the encrypted password there? Then shorten the link and printout both versions for you to use (the longer is if the shortened version no longer work).
An actual arrest seems wildly disproportionate for this. Simple administrative fines should have been enough
> are a dead-end genetically

Is this on purpose or a technical limitation?

Can we create a new plant that (1) tastes good (2) is not a genetic dead end (3) is easily spread to other farms by squirrels and birds (4) low maintainence, and put an end to this DRM?

I mean it would be kind of nice if there existed a forest full of food that nobody had to maintain.

> they are paying to support the continued cultivation of those varieties

The plants are living beings, if they are allowed to behave like living beings without being crippled, perhaps the varieties will continue to exist naturally without said support.

> In the grand scheme of things, expecting your name and email address to really stay private is not all that reasonable.

In the grand scheme of things, nothing matters and we’re all going to die. It’s been a while since I read the GDPR, but I don’t remember a section titled “personal data which is OK to leak because it doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things *shrug emoji*”.

> You probably gave them to the person who then used Dropbox Sign to send you a document. If you were really worried you could have used a throwaway account.

Yes, you probably did. And that’s irrelevant. That data should’ve been deleted once it was no longer relevant. Almost no one goes around giving throwaway email accounts to acquaintances. Do you also suggest people have a throwaway phone number they give to friends and family, for when they upload it to a service like WhatsApp?
Basically, this is what college should be teaching you - how to research. What good does are useless facts? I don't want to walk around cluttered with a dictionary - I want to know where to look in that dictionary. Obviously in the sciences there are facts that you should know, but even with math, its more about how to derive the formula, than actually memorizing it. I mean, their called "Research Papers" right?
Valuing "completely obsessed" employees is a great way to build a company with toxic burnout culture. Some people want lives outside of work and are still good at their jobs.

The Playdate Story: What Was It Like to Make Handheld Video Game System Hardware
90s Java did not have multiple inheritance (nor does today's Java). It did have multiple interfaces, but they only carried a spec of the interface and no implementation details beyond that. C++ was the one with multiple inheritance, if you are trying to reference a popular 90s OO language.
At least they aren't falling out of windows
Why the diatribe?

> Maybe there's some reason why warrant owner matters.

It's a well understood fact by anyone in the startup world that it does matter, because future investors or acquirers care deeply about the structure of your cap table. Furthermore, the article gives an explicit example of this:

> She had lined up a grant from a bank to help fund her offer, but it ultimately told her no because it was too risky for them to be involved with an unknown warrant holder on her cap table.
No, C++ is useful if you want to work in HFT (where you're paid $$$ if you're a programmer).

For quants (progression towards a trader / portfolio manager), Python / Matlab / R is enough.

Good luck getting people to recognize that much of their frustration with computers is deliberate, and a consequence of software patents and the monopolistic games played by megacorps in order to suppress competition and ensure dependency. It's easier for people to learn to cope and put up with the small annoyances than to deal with a big disruption that pays off later, and Microsoft knows exactly where the limits are, and will push people for every tiny percent of exploitable territory that won't cause them to leave.

Unless IP laws get overhauled, this is the way things will be - total surveillance, the user is the product, the customer is the megacorporations positioned to exploit adtech at scale. Infinite growth and endless passive income for the rich, everyone else gets to be frogs in some dystopian eternally-approaching-but-not-quite-boiling pot. Consumer rights and corporate limits in the context of modern technology bounded by fundamental civil liberties are the way to sanity. A lot of very wealthy people and their cadres of very influential cronies would lose wealth and influence if the system were to be repaired.

So yeah, it's easier to just cope and let things more or less suck.
If you have an object that's !Unpin, then Miri will not apply uniqueness rules to anything containing it [0], including boxes and &mut references. (In the example code, replacing the PhantomPinned with a () will make Miri complain again.) This is considered a temporary (if long-lived) measure to allow async executors to manipulate pinned futures without invalidating all their internal borrows. Thus, it might be seen as undetected UB, in lieu of a permanent solution.

Hey!

We’re Emergence Engineering, a small-ish dev shop from the EU. Part of our team is looking for work, we’ve been working for US & UK based startups for a while now. Our team is:

- React / Node / Embedded senior dev ( me )

- Scala / React / Node / Blockchain / GPT / Kubernetes / DevOps senior dev

- Scala / React / Node senior dev

- Two devs with deep React / Node knowledge between mid and senior level

- Two very good junior-medior devs with React knowledge

We look for a place where we can make a difference and do interesting work with a lot of responsibility, the team is well balanced meaning that we have exploring / figuring out and executing types.

Add TechStars to the list of accelerators to be avoided at all costs. They make an investment in your company on terms they can claw back the money at any time. Most of these accelerators provide little to no value, in my experience. Unless you need to know what “product market fit” means. Hilarious.
Skimmed the article, didn't see this important bit mentioned: I'm pretty sure the OS is available through rpi-imager, meaning it's trivial to set up on an RPi and presumably has some notion of official endorsement from RPi org.
To be pedantic though, refusing to comply with a recently-passed law is not whistleblowing; it is civil disobedience.

Because to have music you have to get a license from rights holders, and pay for it.

Because to have lyrics you have to get a license from rights holders, and pay for it.

Because to have videos you have to get a license from rights holders, and pay for it.

Because to have your app working on some surfaces (think desktop vs phone vs speakers vs TVs vs cars vs...) you have to get a different license from rights holders, and pay for it.

Because if you want to synchronize or show together some, or all, of the audio/video/lyrics/subtitles/etc. you have to get a different license from rights holders, and pay for it.

Disclaimer: I work at Spotify, and it annoys me to no end that these questions are never directed at the people who actually demand all this money: the rights holders.
yeah, voluntarily felt odd being used in that manner
These search companies should have hired moderators to manually browse results and tag them based on keywords instead of leaving tagging up to content and info creators. The entire results game became fixated on trending topics and SEO spam that it became a game of insider trick trading, that's what makes results everywhere so terrible now.

In a bid for attention, only the fraudsters are winning, well, the platforms are winning lots of money from selling advertising, I guess that's why they're perfectly fine with not fixing results and ranking for many years now. I'm not sure there is a way back to real relevance now, there's no incentive for these large companies to fix things, and the public has already become used to the gamified system to go back to behaving themselves.
Don't misrepresent this - you used your own AI-powered product to do "research"

> So across the ~50 or so prominent whistleblower cases against big co's that I researched with futuresearch.ai, retaliation is common, harassment is rare but does happen, but murder is not. And given the details of Joshua Dean and John Barnett's death, it's simply much too plausible that this is a fluke of timing.

I wonder what would be achieved first: genetic synthesis or matter replication.
Clicky.com is good and lightweight, with an old-school UI. You only get stats 28 days back if you don't pay for pro, but that is all you need in all of the cases.

BeamAnalytics is another option with a good free tier and unlimited days to look back.

But do you actually need analytics? If you use promo codes with your advertising you will get 100% accurate and correct data to show you which advertising actually works. Relying on what Google or Meta tells you is relying on the most brazen scammers on the planet.
> But you're right, if you narrow it down to the specifics of the deaths, you can absolutely reduce the probability to ridiculously low percentages. Like throw in the day of the week that they died, the hour of the day, the use of a gun, the specific gun used, etc. Does that really reduce the chances that they died though?

The chance they died is 100%. The question we're asking is what are the odds we'd be talking about their death. If it had been a different day of the week or a different model of gun, that would not have an influence. If the cause of death were different, it would. No one would be talking about foul play had he died of say a long term chronic condition, or cancer, or a natural disaster. The odds of dying under suspicious circumstances are inherently less than the odds of just dying in general.
Well luckily the mortality rate for 45-55 in the US is well-documented at 0.5%.

Plugging that in the binomial calculator, P(X>=2) at 32 trials is... 0.09%!! Astronomically low odds.

And you are right, their deaths are certainly not independent :)
If its Boeing, I'm not Blowing!
This is a good point. People here seem to be assuming that Boeing is competent at carrying out hits, which I highly doubt. We should consider whether they have actually tried it on a bunch of people.
The point still stands. There ought to be some level of statistical analysis to tell you how likely an event this is rather than immediately reaching for the conspiracy theory lever.
Yup, you're right. From the link:

I recall seeing a Macromedia Director player but never heard of a DirectX port. In any case the lack of hardware floating point in most of their machines was looking like a big mistake by the mid 90s. Their compilers were also way off the pace and that was getting to be a problem.

Tbh I think I am slightly bitter about having stuck with Acorn a bit too much, and should have jumped away sooner. It is clear Acorn knew they were toast even before the Risc PC. A lot of these very impressive developments were consequently glorious wastes of time, which is kind of tragic too.
This. I'm sure there are lots of things I don't like about Singapore, but the fact that doing and especially dealing drugs is kinda hard and may have death penalty level consequences is a non-issue for me. Cultures that promote drug usage are disgusting and once the drugs comes into your neighborhood there is no way to just ignore it if you care about your safety. I wouldn't care too much if it was just some guys using drugs for fun and that was the end of it, but drugs destroy whole communities and I hate it.
Hah, try getting them to sit through refinement meetings, and I bet it'll take a lot longer!
Though this guy seemed really sick so him taking his own life doesn’t seem insane. Does boeing have the ability to infect people with MRSA?
How many would have to die under these circumstances for you to consider they're not natural deaths?

Influenza and MRSA — allegedly the MRSA was contracted before hospitalization, which is odd. Though MRSA would also be an odd way to try to intentionally kill someone.
Are you trying to make my argument for me? Because that's my argument.
You'd think they'd just put him on a plane, they're much better at killing people using planes.
Thanks for taking the time to tackle this research.

I think you should mention that „I looked” was done with help of your AI project. That does not spark much confidence given current state of LLMs and their „research”.

Aleksandr Dugin's earlier writings (in Russian) [0] are instructive in regards to his philosophy, but his prescription for world order in "Foundations of Geopolitics" [1] (and that it had "significant influence within the Russian military, police, and foreign policy elites") are unsettling, to say the least.

I wrote a long comment, but didn't want to start a flame war on a sensitive subject. Instead, I'll just point out that using nominal GDP to compare the relative strength of a country outside the Atlanticist bloc to one within it is going to give flawed results.

Dataset was 20x times larger than available RAM in that case, so it makes sense that OS cashing was useless and only induced overhead..

Another potential issue was that they compared their mmap code to fio O_DIRECT code, which kinda not clean experiment, fio could be just much more optimized itself..
