> Ms. Pao, it emerged in testimony, compiled a “resentment” chart of colleagues who, she believed, wronged her.

Wow. How petty. There's so many things that came from this case that make me question how much of the testimony from her is real and how much of it is in her head.

Another example, from a recent re/code article:

> Ellen Pao said she filed her gender discrimination lawsuit against Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers partly because of three female administrative assistants who had been discriminated against because of their gender

> There is only one problem: No one in the courtroom seems to know where these admins are. No one seems to know the details of their grievances. No one in court, including Pao, even knows all their names.

And then:

> Pao also said she was told by Kleiner Perkins talent partner Juliet de Baubigny that Nazre was a “sex addict.” To her, that pointed to a larger unspoken history. “I thought she must have additional information and maybe about the administrative assistants,” Pao said.

> Asked on the stand today whether she ever called Nazre a “sex addict,” de Baubigny replied, “No, that is completely ridiculous.”
We worked on your suggestions and uploaded a new version today. Thanks again!
Here’s a 15 min clip about her record deal [1]. TL;DR: She didn’t take a big advance even though she was broke and ended up making a lot more money from residuals.

Things get really interesting when she talks about how her mom stole all her money and now she’s basically starting over (in the original link).

I'm a writer. I write because I must.

It doesn't adequately pay my bills. I'm still trying to sort that piece out which is complicated because wherever you go, there you are. So while people can do studies showing that in the aggregate, X trait is associated with Y outcome, I can't readily take my own self or life apart in that manner to sort cause and effect.
I'm having the same problem around dc. Change dns to use google: 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.8.4 . Problem solved.
> For instance, priority targets in New York City are likely to include Bayonne/Port Elizabeth and Red Hook in Brooklyn instead of Manhattan, as Moscow cares more about New York as a place where armies can sail for Europe than as a place where investment bankers live.

This person is delusional.

The financial hub of the world is definitely a much higher value target than another port in an armageddon type scenario.
In my opinion, and experience from my own startup journey, a 'product-market fit' is simply being profitable from revenue that's growing quarter on quarter for at-least an year or two.

why Spotify? If you want one streaming service that has all the artists you complain about not working with Spotify, well, Google Play All Access already exists. And I suspect the same is true of iTunes Radio.
Meanwhile Netflix's catalog has gotten weaker outside of their original content, as more content owners have setup their own streaming services.
The "innovation tokens" concept expands even past technology.

Want to innovate in the way your board is structured or remove standard protections from the term sheet? Or even set up your Twitter account in this never-before-seen way? Want to remove the idea of management, or rethink the way offices work? You lose an innovation token.
The killer feature of Periscope is real time communication and its massive distribution channel, which Meerkat lacks. If broadcasters don't see more than a few viewers, they lose interest immediately.
Indeed. It appears Force's fatal flaw was trusting an IRS Agent to help him out of a situation.

Lots of people love living in suburbs and visiting shopping malls. You'll have to define "advancing society."
To me, OOP is, first and foremost, about messages. Everything else is negotiable.
You clearly didn't read the article. The success the U.S. has had in being innovating in STEM fields is due to our cultural tradition of comprehensive education rooted in the liberal arts. A focus only on STEM is what gets you modern-day China, Korea, and Japan, where there are many technically skilled workers but a lower inclination to be innovative.
Carmack is not only at the top of my list but is an awesome communicator at the same time.
I found it recently and thought it's a great resource for booking govt. recreational properties in US. I wish something like this exist for our country.
The case from 2010 would surely make for a fascinating retrospective today. I'd wager it hasn't aged well.
I think the argument still holds that people should not be paying differential data rates based on a social construct. Rates for internet should either be based on total underlying infrastructure costs (the utility model), on local infrastructure costs (the competitive market model) or on how much the market will bear (the monopoly model).
Have you tried sway? It's about as close to a drop-in replacement to i3 as we'll get, I think, and my experience with it has been pretty positive.

https://swaywm.org/

it wasn't exactly a drop-in replacement for me, but with a bit of modification I was overall pretty pleased with it, and subjectively it did feel faster.
Unsure if you've seen it before, but I've been using sway [0] as a Wayland-based replacement for i3. Switching the configs took about 15 minutes (and could probably be replaced by a few sed commands). It's been very nice to use all around--snappy, no major issues even with multiple monitors, etc.

My hypothesis was that a lot of folks (myself included) have started going hiking/etc on Black Friday instead of participating in the commercial aspects of the day? Anyways, I upvoted. Our parks/wilderness are one of the really great things about America.
If we agree on what you mean by "framing" [1]:

> To make up evidence or contrive events so as to

> incriminate (a person) falsely.

I disagree that calling CloudFlare Nazis is framing them, as the purpose (assumedly) is not to incriminate. Criticizing them by likening their behaviour to that of Nazis or suggesting that the company is filled with fascists may be in reality false, but a valid criticism regardless.

Thanks for bringing HTTPS up, that's another good use-case for Showoff. If you're developing a web app that needs to be tested with HTTPS and don't want to mess with creating a self-signed cert, Showoff can help you out.

It's also really nice for testing web hooks or API callback URLs against a local web server (e.g. ecommerce sites with IPN, &c). If you sign up for an unlimited account, you can choose a permanent URL to use for your tunnel (e.g. "my-name.showoff.io").
If you chose to be inflamed ...

It's simple really, many people believe that privacy relevant data shouldn't be collected without the users consent. There is nothing at all wrong with collecting location data if the user has agreed to it, that changes if said consent is missing. Just as with sex.
Thanks for this one, and the "heel and toe" explanation in the other comment.

I'm a big fan of Subtle Tea on Madison and 30th: http://subtleteastore.com/

But there are a ton of them around I don't know by name. Usually smaller places frown on non-customers using it, or using it on busy nights (Friday/Saturday after 9pm or so), but I haven't had an issue readily finding wifi to work during the day.
Yes, the military grid reference system looks ugly. Icosahedron based coordinates should be much nicer and more symmetrical.

There's an interesting observation about normal distributions that may prove helpful--especially if you find a way to use randomness to generate a coordinate system.

If you have n pairwise independent identically normal distributed random variables X_i, and normalize them to the unit sphere
Z := X * 1/length(X)
then Z will be distributed equally on the surface of the unit sphere (in the sense that the distribution is symmetric under any rotation around the origin).

If you add some ideas from arithmetic coding and/or the theory for de-randomization of algorithms, you might be able to get a working coordinate system out of this.
Would be slower than this.
I used to know several people who subscribed to HBO/Showtime/Cinemax/etc. and had built up enormous VHS tape libraries off those networks. Naturally, the DRM necessary to stop this hadn't been invented yet. And yet all of those companies have survived...

Not to mention the many, many years http://www.emusic.com/ operated on a subscription model.
I'm not going to speak for him, but I sense that he does "believe" in natural monopolies. He also probably feels like there's nothing /wrong/ with natural monopolies, and I'd have to agree.

A natural monopoly can and ought to be defined as an entity with monopolistic market share achieved WITHOUT government regulation, subsidies, and the like, AND WITHOUT the illegal use of physical violence.
I was somewhat amused to see that most other implementations take around 30 - 60 lines of code, except Java : 372.

But the comparison may not be fair, as the Java author may have tweaked the algorithm or added new features
I don't think you want an event loop per core, that's back into the realm of concurrent madness, and I don't think that's how Erlang works (Erlang folk: correct me if I'm wrong on that).

It's not a bad thing that data has to be copied to be shared between Erlang-style processes. That is part of the reason why things "just work" when you move that process to another machine, or data centre. If the implementation can be smart and "cheat" by sharing data in the same process that's fine, but it is an implementation detail and not a property of the system.

The way Erlang works is that you have a single event loop and threads are spawned to handle i/o and such (the n:m threading model, N green threads are mapped onto M OS threads). When a process blocks its execution is suspended.

Node employs an n:m threading model as well except "processes" in node are just functions. One big difference is that if you make a blocking call in node the whole process is blocked. There's only an event loop, no scheduler or anything that OS-like involved. The Erlang model is clearly superior imo, but Node is far more accessible (for better and worse).
Anyone know a way to use any of these on OS X? e.g. in Photoshop?

I googled but only found the .exe for hq3x
That's the image they portray. However, it's simply not true in this case.
Why are you mischaracterizing problems due to a Texas state law as "The American Way (TM)"?

> I don't know why we don't do this more often, most c++ codebases seem to have large sections that would benefit from such a style.

Because you will sacrifice performance over Java's GC. For maximum performance you really want precise garbage collection on both stack and heap, with generational concurrent operation and a two space copying collector in the nursery. Boehm can't provide this, because the language is not designed for GC.
Nice. I hadn't come across box-shadow before - useful to know. One issue I noticed is that the border-bottom:2em isn't working - there is zero border in chrome, safari and ff. Perhaps you need "bottom:2em" or something? Sometimes css drives me insane fiddling about trying to fix shit like this :)
Totally agree. C++11 was a huge disappointment to me - rather than taking to opportunity to make changes that would help attract new C++ programmers, the committee decided to allow the "C++ nerds" to pile on even more complexity to their already overwrought libraries (cough boost cough).
Where, "relatively recently" means 5 years ago.
This is one of those articles that really resonated with me although I feel a little uncomfortable admitting it. I think C++ is a great language but what Becker says rings true to me. Of course I've always been of the "safe-subset" mindset, e.g. the project and team should dictate how fancy your C++ should be allowed to get.
I think a key point they hint at but never actually come out and say is that such a cup likely existed for the purpose of detecting poisons.
I find it interesting, now that the App Store is an established brand and venue, that Apple could add this "enable installation from anywhere" option. If this had been present at the time the App Store had launched, developers would have tried to sell their apps from their own websites, and used grunkly stuff in the system they shouldn't have been touching. Can you imagine Adobe releasing Acrobat Reader for iPhone that used some kind of Adobe installer and updater?

But now that everyone knows to go to the App Store by default, and developers are climbing over each other to get stuff in there and meet Apple's requirements, I think it's a safer move to allow third-party stuff. The people who are serious and want to make money or spread their brand will still be targeting the App Store, and the people doing things on the margins get the choice put whatever they want on their phone.
>I don't understand why so many people in startups feel the need to rip on MBA's

It's because we've worked at startups where MBAs were brought in on the middle management layer and wasted our time polishing nuts and bolts in order to reduce drag when what we should have been doing was upgrading the suspension from a Watt's linkage to MacPherson struts.
If Apple had been more open -- truly inclusive, not just for show -- about getting software onto their ultraportables, the bogus perception that Apple is a fully walled garden wouldn't exist.

Instead, they pissed off enough internet loudmouths to shout down an air raid siren, dicking around and flipping and flopping and never giving a clue as to what the fuck is actually going on behind the curtain.

If the result is misinformation hurting their bottom line, good. Maybe then they'll listen.
Hey, I'm in the middle of an MBA program and think I'm doing just fine with my little start ups. Cute blanket statement though.

Before there was either Eric Reis or Jeffry Timmons there was John Boyd.

Quite true; ultimately, open vs. closed is a complex spectrum, not a binary true/false. Apple has earned a reputation of being completely closed, to the point that I still hear people express surprise at, say, Macs opening Word docs from a PC.
Great post, you've taken something that I've always thought of as random prospecting and applied a methodology to it. I am quite envious of your critical thinking skills.
The one (listed under other problems) which always struck me since the first time I heard it:
"How does the quantum description of reality, which includes elements such as the superposition of states and wavefunction collapse or quantum decoherence, give rise to the reality we perceive? "

I still vividly remember the first time I heard the "collapse of the wavefunction" and openly challenged our poor Solid-state electronics professor - it led to a looong discussion at the end of which he got flustered enough that after shifting thru entanglement, decoherence, Measurement problems, many worlds interpretation, Bohm, time travelling interactions, philosophy, etc he pretty much kicked me out of his office.

I think I might have partly contributed to him seeking a transfer to another dept. the next year...

Copyright is about ensuring authors are paid for copies of their work being disseminated.

You don't disseminate film. Copyright would cover negatives produced under an authors direction in order to distribute his or her image.

Photographers "own" the film as property. It is a different legal standard.
When you say "Github" do you mean it as a synecdoche to include the other well-known site hosts like Bitbucket, Gitorius and the venerable Sourceforge?

Or, to reference an old magazine cover, is it more of a "View of the World from 9th Avenue" thing? FWIW, all of my code is on Bitbucket.
I'd never hire Lebron, simply because he's an pompous dickhead. Don't care if he wins championships(and he doesn't on his own. proof = Cleveland) I wouldn't want to work/interact with a prima-donna like that.
Well, no - you assuming it's rhetorical when I clearly stated it's not is snarky....

As I said, there were two scenarios that I outlined which were unlikely - Google/Github posting my text editor usage publicly on their website, linked to my name, and employees of those companies individually trawling through.

The scenario of them mining for trends in the data, in order to improve the software, I'm perfectly fine with.

The scenario of the government being involved - I agree that's bad - however, we haven't seen any indications that is true for the wide public.

Can you actually come up with any other scenarios that are both 1. probably and 2. worrying?
> Otherwise you've wandered into an area of philosophy where nothing is a fact.

Or, rather, the area of philosophy where only the class of facts which can be certainly described as such are the facts of having particular present sensations (whether the kind that present as sense-data or the kind that present as memories) is a fact, and all other ideas about the world are either axioms or conclusions supported on the basis of either axioms, sensations, or a combination of the two.

Of course, when you leave that area of philosophy, you are in the area of fuzzy and imprecise thinking, so its not a bad area of philosophy to be in.

> I hated the time I spent with Angular 1.x and the whole thing strikes me a as a complex and painful way to build applications.

This comment baffles me. Not your cup of tea, sure, that I can understand, but complex and painful? Angular, Ember, Backbone, React, etc. are all so vastly superior to hacking together jQuery spaghetti code with imperative DOM manipulation I can't understand how anybody wouldn't be elated with the productivity gains they get from any of the modern frameworks, regardless of their syntax preferences.
Having been formerly labeled a gifted child, I'm not sure they really exist. I'm not sure the child has something different -- rather s/he does something different.

I was definitely very intelligent by IQ tests, but it seems to me that what I really had as a child was focus. Arbitrary tasks -- ones that I set for myself, as well as the ones the world does -- were met with the total commitment that adults usually reserve for wartime. So of course I advanced more quickly.

As for why I had such focus, that's complicated and probably varies from person to person. But did anyone else feel that way?
Aren't unpaid internships illegal? http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/03/business/03intern.html
I'm pretty sure you don't need to incorporate to take deductions on self-employment expenses. Self-employed income isn't just a free ride to a kick in the balls - if you're paying that extra 15%, you get to take expenses as deductions. If it's low-level income that is just covering expenses, you're not going to owe the IRS a dime.
Since Google also does a browser I'd imagine it's a cut-down version of Chrome's renderer.
Whether or not it works, this seems like the right approach for FB. I definitely have had the experience of not knowing how to contact people (friends, parents, younger siblings.) People often talk about building something that solves a common problem and this does that. I think it will catch on.
Hmm,

It's not a good sign if the main thing people take away from a presentation is "This is not X".

It doesn't sound like it's as terrible an idea as "Wave" but since messaging is much more core to Facebook, a confused and barely successful product could hurt Facebook more than Wave hurt Google. But perhaps I'm letting my biases creep in.

Aggregating electronic communication protocols is great - it is going to come. But I don't that a single aggregation process is going to do for everyone any more than a single messaging system would work for everyone (disclaimer: I'm working on a protocol aggregating project myself). Like computer to computer protocols, person to protocols vary in their speed, their richness, their reliability and their latency. And appropriately so. Tying them together into a meta-protocols is great but any effort to create a single meta-protocol which "solves" all the speed, richness, reliability and latency problems results in a "monstrosity" which solves none of the problems.
