I am none of those things you mentioned (employee, shareholder, other vested interest), and I also find it annoying. It’s something Zuck said when he was much younger. If his views haven’t changed since that age then he is an unusual person

I’d love to see a category like “productively salty” which would do something like an h index ranking. Your score is the highest number n such that you have n salty comments with at least n net score.

Good advice. Within Google, they have backups that depend on no production infrastructure. Something as simple as an IRC server that is always running on prem can be invaluable.

I didn’t see anything about this in the article, so I ask here in the hopes that someone more knowledgeable can comment: how are they controlling for selection bias? Is there any way to select into or out of this school, or is it purely the

If you work at Facebook these days, people don’t like you very much at the bar, the wedding or on the train. That you earn a lot doesn’t really help you when everyone dislikes you. “You’re an asshole.” “No, I’m right, I earn more than you.

Before I have seen the musings of a fund manager posted, predicting the next downturn. Apparently he’s been doing this since before the last downturn. His fund is barely above flat since inception in the early 2000s, even though the S&P

Heck, they probably saved more than that over the years just by failing to implement the compliance program. I can’t imagine such a program would cost less than 250k to implement over three years. So they broke even on this deal before you

I think this problem is best solved by requiring that the state make amends for arrests which turn out to be incorrect. You lose your job? State funds two months of severance (more if there’s an economic downturn and it’s harder to find a j

Military drone operators will be found on military bases in military uniform. They will be easily identified as soldiers if captured.

I don’t really get what makes this an amazing IPO. Afaict they left 33% of the money on the table. How is that a good thing for the company or the shareholders?

Doesn’t this depend on the person’s combatant status? I do suspect that enemy combatants in uniform are afforded the protections you mention, but I don’t think Assange can reasonably be assigned to that class.

Tl;dr: definitely yes, although two philosophers disagree in their prognostications about whether anyone will actually build it. One thinks it’s too dangerous and expensive. The other thinks the incentives to try are too powerful to avoid i

If Google were that smart, it would be pretty impressive. But I doubt we are.

I wonder if people making this comparison will appreciate the irony if someday it proves that the same situation applies here (I.e. user error).

Even if they hadn’t, the PS2 is one of the greatest consoles of all time. It would have been a difficult competitor to go against.

If the retail investors don’t like the price, they are not obligated to buy. Caveat emptor. They wanted to make a quick buck, and I guess that’s fine. It’s nice to want things. I feel precisely zero pity for them.

> It serves as an important reminder that amid all the hoopla around trading debuts, small investors wind up taking a lot of the risk. Speculators take on a lot of the risk, whether they be small or large.

Well, maybe. Or it shows that they hired people who were relatively comp insensitive, possibly due to being unable to command higher wages elsewhere. Hard to know.

I suspect this is just stale data. I can’t think why the most recent version of a browser would put me at one in a thousand.

Does it really provide that much entropy? Maybe back in the days when browsers didn’t auto-update, but intuitively it should only provide about four bits at most (os: Android iOS macOS windows, browser: chrome safari edge ie ff) except for

I like the original more without your embellishment. The addition sounds like every attempt at follow up humor on reddit.

You say “however”, but doesn’t this just reflect the same problem? There are a lot of people with phds who want these jobs, so they are willing to accept these adjunct positions. In the past, when there were fewer excess phds, nobody would

Sadly, those kinds of misreportings are common in other countries and places too. My own home of New York City has been hit by a number of underreporting scandals. I have no reason to believe they are less common elsewhere than Japan. So I

On one’s own property, it should be the default that one may draw the line where one pleases. Or delegate one’s authority to agents — employees — who will handle the question. As far as your personal interests go, again the presumption shou
