The time between something being posted on twitter significant enough to move the market and the market finding out that thing is not true would be small enough that the number of people who had been able to take advantage of such a price m

Weapons system officer. F-15E is a two seat cockpit so you have someone dedicated to the weapons systems and someone dedicated to flying the aircraft at all times. I generally share the above commenter’s enthusiasm for the F-15 over the mod

From this link: “A study done by IBM found that Rust and WebAssembly could be 15x (15,000%) faster than compiled languages, such as Scala, which is traditionally considerred a high performance language.” This calculation is off by an order

This is interesting but it is a little unexpected (for me) that for a service like this the first (preferred) user action is to click a button that prompts them to create an account. I would like to know a little more about the service firs

Are you saying the upper management of SUSE is boring or the upper management of Rancher is boring? It’s unclear from the wording.

This is quite literally true given the amount of money and jobs the defense base (not just direct contractors but the entire supply chain) injects into local economies. Most of American manufacturing has been off-shored. Regulations prevent

It’s the phrasing of the notes. The “triplet” ending song goes da, da, da da da, da da da. The “doublet” ending song goes da, da, da da, da da, da da. Disclaimer: I am not a music theory wizard, but I do play drums.

The transition from PowerPC to Intel occurred at 10.4.4. Think this is probably an homage to Jobs (who famously said that OS X would last two decades).

I don’t know if this explains the entirety of the phenomenon but I do think this post helped me understand at least a portion of the pervasive mention of rust in almost any programming conversation on HN, which makes the fact that happens s

No, it would not. There is nothing preventing Facebook from paying employees of certain levels the same salary range regardless of location. The only reason Zuckerberg even has to clarify that they will be checking to make sure employees ar

The largest holder of US debt is the US federal government. The debt is owed by us to ourselves. It is just numbers in accounts. The conception of federal debt as some giant anvil hanging over our heads is not correct. Foreign holdings only

Not to be too glib, but 15 U.S.C. § 78a, which created the SEC and invested in it broad power to regulate financial markets.

Most US domestic airlines are just providing travel credit with no cancellation or change fees. I had to cancel a month of business travel just now on several airlines and incurred no cost—I just have to use the credit in the next year whic

Well, first of all, SDI is not taxed by the feds or by California except when used as a replacement for unemployment insurance (it is paid for by taxes and you just accrue a benefit when you make a claim—it is not taxed again) so there’s a

If you’re able to perfectly predict your preferences for every given moment of the period you’re on a cruise or in the air in advance, then you could. I find I am unable to do so.

It matters a lot to your board, your creditors and investors, the government. If you’re publicly held, it matters to a significantly larger number of investors and changes your legal obligations somewhat. If you’ve ever heard someone talkin

Racism is present in Japan, the comment that spawned this subthread appeared to be dismissing it as something that had absolutely no explanatory power in this phenomenon and further seemed surprised by Japanese racism as a concept. Here’s t

There is a Chinese science fiction movie that is about this (although instead of slightly shifting the earth’s orbit, they make earth a spaceship itself) called The Wandering Earth. I believe it is on Netflix. The subtitles for the theatric
