It is free money until Lambda School actually gets it back. It's up to Lambda School to decide the if money and/or the precedent are worth the public relations cost of fighting about it.

Piling in on the buy side because of a fear of missing out counts as panicking.

I get the impression that the people running Robinhood actually don't understand how difficult it is to implement what they want to offer, both on the reliability side (outages) and on the logical side (infinite margin).

Just because it is common doesn't mean it's not shady. And depending on what the "pseudo-activist role" entails, that could be a massive conflict of interest. If a person at Company A is steering business toward Company

You're right. I'd correct my original post if I could. I stand by my point but I chose a terrible example.

My point is not that I'm better at it than some specific library, it's that choosing a library would take more effort than writing some straightforward code. EDITED TO ADD: In fact getting LAPACK into the build if it's not a

To be precise, the author isn't simply saying "Do what you love", he's saying "Do what you love in your leisure time ". I think that's an important distinction. He's not giving diligent work short s

I don't know why everyone is eliding the gunfire here, to me that's the most important aspect of the story. If he was merely a shoplifter, there would be little harm in just issuing a warrant and looking for him later. But once

The piece does contain one bit of advice, "young healthy people should try to avoid getting Covid-19 for as long as possible."

I don't think the two situations are comparable at all. In the ATV case, it was the police who escalated, inappropriately, in pursuit of someone who was mainly a danger to himself. In the destroyed home case, it was the suspect who e

Waiting out a suspect who has already shot at the police is dangerous. Any mistake that left a person exposed to be shot at could be fatal. Protecting life is a higher priority than protecting property.

by throwsprtsdy 7y ago
So if a shooter sets up in a sufficiently expensive property, the police have to sit there passively and risk being shot because they don't have the money to pay for the damage caused by going in? That makes no sense. I'm general

> Thing is, nobody ever said ad supported sites have to be viable. That's true, but if a site is not ad-supported, and "paywall" is almost an epithet (and circumvented to boot), how is any site supposed to remain viable?

I wish there was simply a way where ad-supported sites I visit could collect their revenue without having me submit to advertiser surveillance. I don't mind seeing ads. I hate being tracked.
