> Before "somebody" lost their job and sold their stock, there were X people holding Y dollars. Afterwards, there are still X people holding Y dollars

Maybe it's better to think of it as X-1 people holding Y+1 dollars :P

But really, I think the above poster answered your question with this bit:

> This adds downward pressure on the market since people must sell

Prices go up when you bid higher than the current price for something, and conversely they go down when you bid lower than the current price.

When someone sells in these situations, it means the current average price has dropped.

Also sometimes, when people are desperate to sell, they can really lowball the value of something causing its overall value to depreciate significantly.

This is a bit of an aside, but how do you like that filter? I've been using Pur for a couple of years.

The author states as much:

> Theatre has always been an important part of the workplace.

They're expounding that it's gotten worse during the pandemic, which I think most of us would agree with.

I'd argue that HotBot is a lot more catchy since 1) it rhymes, 2) it's shorter in length.

AskJeeves would also be abbreviated in conversation to just "Jeeves", which is definitely as the original creators intended. "DuckDuckGo" doesn't have these features going for it.

In full, he said "trying to get rid of cigarettes and it worked", implying that it was a completed effort, imo.

Hey thanks for the answer. I can be too literal, so at the time I wasn't sure if that's what he was implying, or if there was some other special property about helium in a balloon in an X-ray machine that I didn't know of.

Although I was very tired when I originally posted this around 2:30 AM, I think my train of thought was that if they got it from outside of the machine in the conveyor belt --> inside of the machine in the conveyor belt --> it's the same mechanism which will get it to pop out of the other end.

But I suppose I was giving too much benefit of the doubt :)

Why does the balloon being filled with helium mean it wouldn’t move through the machine on the conveyor belt? Just curious.

Could you elaborate on this/provide a source?

Well put.

I’d like to know as well

Trello | SRE | NYC / Remote | Full-time | https://www.atlassian.com/company/careers/detail/6e2f6f54-03...

As a Site Reliability Engineer at Trello, you’ll work on keeping everything running efficiently as we scale our infrastructure from supporting over 35 million Trello users today towards our goal of 100 million users and maintaining our target of 99.99% uptime.

Our engineers and designers run the show with management existing to support, not dictate. We hire creative people and give them the autonomy to do great work. We're strongly against separations of responsibility and throwing work "over the wall." Our SRE team shares on-call responsibilities with our backend developers.

Trello is entirely hosted in AWS and is built using Node.js, MongoDB, Kafka, Redis, and ElasticSearch. We use Ubuntu, Puppet, Terraform, Nagios, Python, and Fabric to tie it all together.

I'm really curious, do you feel that your (assuming they were) bans #1-49 were unjustified? If so, could you expand on why that's the case?

For my understanding, do you mean that cash flow would show $100 profit each year on the 5th year, whereas in the first year it would show $900 profit? Thanks.

That's interesting how publicly traded companies are not required to release these numbers. I wonder if that's always been the case?

Have you been learning Vietnamese (what’s the difficulty level compared to say Japanese)? What’s the cost of living like in Saigon? I’ve never been to Asia at all, but would like to this year.

I have this favorited/bookmarked for the foreseeable future. Thank you for working on this (I hope it's still an active project if readers point out discrepancies)

> is it really reasonable for a games company to fire a director for a game that may not live up to hype yet meets sales goals and gets named game of the year?

I'm curious; even if someone's last game was a bit of a dud sales-wise, is it really reasonable to vehemently punish someone that has a proven stellar track record that you've depended on for years?

Example: Hironobu Sakaguchi

Sakaguchi is the father of Final Fantasy; but after the movie "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" was a complete flop, his career at Square-Enix (then Squaresoft) was over, and he was relegated to the back office. The last FF he created was FF9, and you can see how things progress from there.

It would be much more logical to have said "ok Sakaguchi, we have learned from this mistake. Let's try and do better on the next one", and continue onwards. But maybe I have the benefit of hindsight shrug

Perhaps because information was leaked that Konami was planning on removing his name entirely from the game; fans revolted, so they put it back - in excess. The excess part is my hypothesis.

Latin for "Who will guard the guards themselves?".

Could you elaborate on this?

How did office hours between the two batches go? That was left out of the blog post.

Similar to when you're in the lunch round during a job interview are told "oh don't worry, lunch is not an interview, just relax", I imagine attending office hours after you got rejected last time is in the same boat - it's another hidden interview. It's possible that there were indicators during that time period that indicated how the next batch might go for you guys :/.

Best of luck regardless

Would you mind providing a source for this leak?

You didn't mention taxes. Doesn't Apple offshore their earnings as well?

I don't trade at all, but I am curious if there are any prominent indices/securities whose values are tied to the U.S. debt/GDP/etc. ?

This is a bit off-topic, but one aspect (among many others) of HN that I really appreciate is that there aren't any snide remarks pointing out how this is a repost (I'm not suggesting that's what you're doing); no one here cares. If you've seen it before, great, perhaps you could contribute to the conversation in this current thread based off your learnings the last time around. If you haven't seen it before, here you go. I hope it always stays this way.

This is a wonderful idea! But I can't help but wonder... is this legal? Seems like a litigation nightmare.

I find it interesting that you consider an LRU Cache an 'algorithm' rather than a 'Data Structure'. I was just curious if you could explain that?

Great stuff though!

Forgive my ignorance, but does any of this have to do with insurance (I assume you're in the U.S.)? Those prices are absurd, so I'm wondering how is it possible for the average American household to afford to pay for that? I imagine one argument being "that's the thing, they can't afford it"; but.. isn't that what hundreds of thousands of Americans are doing per year?
