$28,538.81 per organization, per day. :)

thanks - corrected

thats an average of 10,416,666.67, or $10.41 Million per organization

Can confirm - i've retweeted some of the recent "hang mike pence" related tweets.

The great thing, that this title doesn't clarify, is that a lot of the trending tweets (at least of recent, and what i RT) are not promoting the hanging of pence, but speaking out against it and the people who say it.

I've never liked mike pence, we have opposing perspectives - but man, i have never even thought about hanging him. But these rioters, who in theory are part of his party, were there and ready to hang him because he didn't do what they wanted, just did his job. Something I have to give him credit for.

Jquery is great for manipulation, and https://stimulus.hotwire.dev/ is a great way of structuring javascript and helps prevent spaghetti of Jquery & JS.

> Every problem jQuery solved has been standardized into native javascript

Some problems, sure. Every problem? I think that's a stretch. Jquery still has it's applicability and can in some cases lead to simpler code.

I'd agree regarding the $1000 monitor stand not being targeted - but they're wireless headphones - Apple sells consumer electronics. of course they're targeted, at least for desirability (not so much price point)

And my reply was mainly to highlight the parent comment of > The world is getting wealthier. Money is getting cheaper. We've just printed trillions of dollars this year to keep the good times rolling baby

does not actually reflect the reality of most workers; who's purchase power has only decreased.

meanwhile the last time the federal minimum wage was raised was in 2009, to $7.25 an hour. At that rate, you'd need to work ~76 hours to afford these headphones.

From a company that priced a monitor stand at $1000, this is at least more functional. But for most people, a pair of $30 headphones will be just as good, albeit without the status symbol element.

While I don't think Vitamin D is a covid cure - I think it's appalling that Youtube has banned anything that discusses vitamin D and covid. Especially when there is so much science behind it, and so much more that we need to do to understand it and covid better. I know there is rampant misinformation out there, but I fail to see how this censorship serves the public interest - and wonder what benefits google has to gain from this. People are dying from covid - we need to be firing on all cylinders, not trying to make a buck off a disaster.

Is there an upper limit to the number of classes you can train it to detect?

wow that's so clever and simple! Love it.

I felt like everything was at least tolerable up until I read this:

> In a particularly memorable example, a few years ago the Samoan islands wanted to be on the other side of the international date line to get the same weekends as their Australian trading partners. So on midnight Dec 29th, they changed their UTC offset from -11 to +13 UTC, skipping Dec 30th and going straight to Dec 31st.

How you could program your way out of that, and plan around that as a possibility in scheduling/calendars, is a bit mind bendy. "Turns out this day won't exist for you" is never something I'd have considered a possibility.

Do you just eat a plate of supplements? That seems like a lot to take every day.

I'd love to see some facts to backup these claims around "not allowed to", otherwise this is just armchair speculation. I get the premises of why these could be denied by regulating bodies, but as I'm writing a book relevant to the subject I'd like to see some sources.

Interesting read. I've seen a component based rails architecture work wonders for cleaning up a codebase and allowing for the benefits of a SOA encapsulation while still keeping everything under a monolithic architecture (and avoiding the networking nasties). Not such a fan of sorbet though, but hopefully something better comes along.

This is something I've wanted for years, for numerous uses like collaboration, Method of loci, and documentation. Overlaying our built-in spatial awareness with focused data is an area of information architecture with a lot of untapped potential.

there is also this which allows multiple windows within unity (there's a demo you can try): https://zenfulcrum.com/browser

why do i need to login to simply see the syllabus? I'm not opposed to eventually signing up, but forcing me to before i'm sold on the platform seems premature.

i've found downvotes are routers of (un)clear signals sent from noisy thinkers. They are a terrible guide for influencing your approach, argument or reasoning. Conversely, having someone comment and agree/disagree provides much more meaningful signal to grow and improve from.

this is what i use:

  news.ycombinator.com##html .pagetop:style(color: rgba(0,0,0,0) !important;)
  news.ycombinator.com##html .score
  news.ycombinator.com##html .default .commtext:style(color: black !important)

i use ublock rules to hide scores and disable downvoted comment fading, but i haven't blocked comment count. HN has been much better for me since making these changes.

Well said. It really is baffling how apple has become a tale of two cities

Workarea is a rails engine you can host yourself, I do integration work for retailers but the core of it is OSS. Lots of plugins, and they're easy to create.

that's entirely wrong though. Because it's not about cutting the calories of your meals in half - it's about having longer gaps between your caloric intake times, so your body goes into ketosis.

Apple ditching intel could lead to some great improvements in hardware, but I would be much happier if they made no changes to the hardware and actually started investing in OSX again. Catalina is a disaster. I've been using macs since OS 7 and I cannot believe how bad Catalina is.

First off, I don't like titles telling me what to do. You're not my real mom.

Second, this was more incoherent babble than useful. While I am an investing nerd, this article could be about 1/3rd as long. The rest was trash writing and ego.

Third, there is some worthwhile content in that 1/3rd that's good. But it's nothing groundbreaking or new, and detached from the EMH topic. His perspective on Warren Buffet was worthwhile, though, and the idea that once a tactic goes public the collective abosrbes it and the edge is lost is worth pondering over, and the comparison of using a stone-age axe against a fighter jet is meaningful too. There's no real discussion around the lifetime of tools, techniques, and perspectives. That might be the most worthwhile takeaway for me.

Forthly, equating market action to coin tossing is intellectual laziness. I would agree with this on an intraday trading level, but in long term investing that's just not the behavior equities exhibit.

Lastly, my portfolio has beat the S&P500 by significant margin (>3-8x) for 5 years. I'm still waiting to get humbled so i can investing in the S&P500/bonds and call it a day. If history is any indicator, it should be an eventuality. But given the perspective that stone-age axes don't work against fighter jets, I wonder how that could come to pass.

Sounds like not-invented-here syndrome. Not all frameworks are the same, but frameworks (like Rails) are what allow me to walk into any company or project using them and be effective within hours or days. Without frameworks, you end up with spaghetti that takes months to understand. While great for job security, its terrible for maintainability, on-boarding, security, performance and longevity, and represents a looming liability for the companies that rely on the code.

To me, that's a foolish trade off all for warm fuzzies to validate how smart you are.
