From your snippet:

> We may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or until we are no longer an emerging growth company, whichever is earlier.

The definition of "emerging growth company", from https://www.sec.gov/smallbusiness/goingpublic/EGC

> A company qualifies as an emerging growth company if it has total annual gross revenues of less than $1.07 billion during its most recently completed fiscal year and, as of December 8, 2011, had not sold common equity securities under a registration statement. A company continues to be an emerging growth company for the first five fiscal years after it completes an IPO, unless one of the following occurs:

> - its total annual gross revenues are $1.07 billion or more

> - it has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in the past three years or

> - it becomes a “large accelerated filer,” as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2

2020's gross revenue was 318m growing at 50-60m yoy from prior years. So, unless that growth is somehow compounding, the 5 years post-IPO is the most likely outcome.

The biggest implications are relaxed requirements around explaining executive compensation, and that financial control auditing (SOX-compliance) is not required.

It's not necessarily a bad thing for investors, but a trade-off. It means the company can focus more on growth and less elsewhere.
I don't get why I should believe this one guy's numbers versus an experienced governments' bureau's calculations. Because it's all a conspiracy?
Founder in sister thread explicitly says they aren’t planning on charging a premium for longevity. Besides, even at Apple level prices, a perpetually upgradable system essentially pays for itself eventually.
When Teen Vogue calls someone a "billionaire vampire", is that a compliment, or are vampires out again?
You can move them to the DRS (https://ibkr.info/article/2192) but then it while take a while to move it back to your broker if you want to trade.
Toast,I am pretty decent at graphic/web design, but have trouble finding consulting work in order to make this work. Mind if I ask where do you look? Craigslist seems saturated, and elance seems too much of a hassle with outsourcing companies and others with years reputation on the site.
My experience has usually been that lunch with coworkers is awkward. Most people just sit on their iphones and no one really talks. The conversations seem forced. Maybe I have worked at the wrong places but this is my experience at the places I have been.
In a world where it was understood that everyone ran free wifi, the courts would stop accepting that illegal activity from your IP was a reason for the cops to break down your door. Just as it's obvious today that illegal activity from a Starbucks open wifi isn't a reason for the cops to break into Starbucks.

I'm not saying it's easy to get there from here, but a solution is clearly not inherently impossible.
These changes will come into effect on May 10th, so signups before then will still have the less-restrictive old limits and existing accounts will have these limits honoured after the changeover. Move your domains now if you haven't already done so!
Highly voted comments don't always stand up when the discussion gets into deep threads. I remember seeing a few threads with 20+ comments and one really insightful response in the middle changing the flow of the discussion.

I feel it is now difficult to have an idea of this kind of "flow" at a glance.

I'd love an option too show or hide the count. Or perhaps show the count when hovering or touching a link for a few seconds.
What is the general consensus in the HN community on the business model of 99designs especially in light of the protests against "spec" work from the design community at large. There's obviously a market for what they're doing but would your company consider using 99designs?
I feel the opposite - I'm learning more, because if I'm spending the time to read something, I have to think critically about it and do research sometimes in order to have a good interpretation. It takes more time, but it's real learning, instead of echo-chamber reading.
I think you either need an upvote count or the ability to collapse comment threads.
You're not drinking coffee though, you're, I'm laughing here because I keep having to reiterate this...

You're not consuming coffee because you like coffee. That's obvious. You like the buzz. You like the stimulant effect of the drug caffeine. I am comparing in the motions of a junkie... I know caffeine addicts that are bigger caffeine junkies than some hard drug users I know. It's neither here nor there, but I could care less if you shoot heroin, let alone drink coffee or take caffeine pills. If it helps you do your job and it doesn't ruin your life, fine. Lord knows I'm sick this week during a week that I simply can not be sick, I'm using Aleve and Mountain Dew like they're going out of style.

I just wanted to point out that plenty of people are very productive without caffeine. Seeing as caffeine doesn't give you abnormal abilities... it seems to be that it would be better to not be dependent on it, or not use it as a crutch, or whatever it is that you're using it for.
> Cancel culture is not a "medieval mob" - because there is no physical enforcement

The specific tactics of cancel culture are a DDoS. Oftentimes, when an individual is targeted by the mob, their employer doesn't particularly care about the views, beliefs, or words of the target outside the workplace. Sometimes, sure, but usually, if it doesn't impact the business, it would usually not result in career-ending consequences.

What currently happens, however, is thousands of angry mob members effectively DDoSing the employer's phone system, customer service and HR representatives, inboxes, etc. Regardless of how little the employer cares about their employee's outside-work views or activities, they end up with no choice but to pay the ransom to make the problem go away. And the ransom is the economic devastation of the target.

It is a DDoS, and conducting one ought to carry approximately the same legal consequences as renting a botnet and extorting a ransom.
I do very similarly, except I avoid installing jupyter lab for each project, instead installing `ipykernel` as a dev dependency. I install jupyter lab system-wide with pipx [1], and for each project issue a command like

pipenv run python -m ipykernel install --user --name=this_directory

Then if I open Jupyter Lab I see "this_directory" as a listed kernel to create a notebook from.

This allows me to manage Jupyter settings and plugins in one place rather than in each env, have multiple project's notebooks open in the same Jupyter Lab instance, etc.

Switzerland also has the highest level of household debt (which includes mortgages) in the world. Lending volume and price usually have a fairly linear correlation.
I first saw that in person on a pinball machine like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64e7TQ5uj8g

The effect is fantastic.
If I were you I'd go have a talk with your union rep, especially as this is impacting multiple teams. They can then raise this higher up the management chain.
Now that just comes off as being written by someone who feels very entitled to the hard work of others.

If you feel so strongly about it, why don't you fork the project and continue integrating upstream features and fixes for those on pre 7.x devices? Or would that take too much of your own time to do?
With the RT, yes it was indeed locked as the market pattern and target at the time (with iPad and Android tablets) have been to lock the system at the benefit of better curation and more integrated experience (well some will point out and argue that this was more of a lock-in, but obviously a Windows without malware was a goal also). The newer ARM attempt however were a complete reversal: Microsoft had dropped the focus on phone and (to an extent) tablet markets and even recent first-party Surface have unlockable boot systems, something that was impossible with Surface RT devices.
The application was submitted on November 22 and the review meeting was not scheduled until December 10. The UK, not exactly a country known for taking reckless medical risks, approved the Pfizer vaccine eight days earlier than the US despite receiving the application at the same time.

While nearly ten thousand Americans died, I guess the FDA was “catching up on its sleep”. Eight long days of glorious sleep!
I once went onsite for a week-long trial. I learned their codebase, discussed infrastructure, wrote an app, and demoed it, explaining how it might improve their workflow. At the end of the week I got rejected for "not being a 100% cultural fit."

Either companies should have the balls to tell you that you suck, or you don't suck, and they should stop hiring off narratives. All the more so after they take up your time.
I'm not sure. But you can try to find a friend who is already donating and give them the money to donate for you.

Or if you trust random internet stranger, you can Venmo/Zelle/PayPal me the money and I'll donate for you . I'm already on their list.
They take a long time if you have to rebuild the indexes, which is what you have to do if you only have a text dump.

For MySQL, using the standard format (MyISAM), you can just do a file copy if you bothered to do a proper backup of the binary files.
It sounds ridiculous on the surface, but at least consider cost of living. You can't compare salaries without knowing where the people are. Assuming they are mostly in DC, how expensive is that compared to other parts of the country?
Is he volunteering to go on this mission?
Thanks.

FWIW I am not a developer. I am a pointy-haired boss. My long-forgotten background is in aerospace engineering.
For what it's worth, I'm moving from Europe to a very car-dependent city (San Diego) and desperately trying to find a neighborhood where I and my wife will at least not need _two_ cars, and ideally none. It's a hell of a sprawling city. Bankers Hill or Little Italy seem like good choices but the jets are damned loud.

A suburb with good train/trolley service would be fairly appealing. I won't pretend to like National City or El Cajon (I don't), but at least Mission Hills is an option. However, Mission Hills hates bicyclists and opposes bike lines, so I'm trying to avoid that area out of principle.
Yeah, sure. The guys who do consumer PC repairs. Let that sink in.
As a young(-er) millennial, i'm conflicted. I grew up in a town where drivers ed was free through highschool--everyone had a car. everyone. public transit isn't good enough except for those legitimately, objectively poor (most highschool kids have jobs and virtually no expenses though, so this is not them).

When I moved to a big city for the first time, I brought my car with me. The second time I moved to a big city, I left it behind. Cars are nice when the weather or lame, or when you need to go somewhere not serviced by transit, or need to transport something large, or want to go on a road trip somewhere. However, these uses constitute a VERY small portion of trips.

Whenever I dish out $6/hr for parking, or $X00 - $XX00 dollars for maintenance, it frustrates me and reminds me that cars are more expensive than I prefer. Transit means I don't have to pay attention to the road when going places and don't worry about all of the expenses/car headaches.

That said, there are some times when car ownership is nice, and I love driving... but I drive stick, so if people can get around with public transit just fine, I see little reason for people to be eager car owners. Car ownership is quickly becoming a relic for people who care to live close to everything, and can do without cars.
A fellow Walcott fan!

"The time will come

when, with elation

What I find most interesting in this pushback against cars and suburbs is just how temporary the criticisms of them are.

We are on the verge of having self driving electric cars and most of the complaints about suburb life will seem silly.
Eliot is amazing; folks who love his work do themselves a disservice, however, if they aren't also reading Ezra Pound ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_Pound ) for a very different perspective on most of the same inspirations that made Eliot's early work so powerful.
For one thing, the entire Maryland hitman case collapses if you can't use anything Force touched, because he ran it from start to finish as Nob.
The article has no information about how this is supposed to be used.

Can you inject this into the bloodstream to clear an MRSA infection?

If not, then it's only useful as a topical antiseptic, which isn't newsworthy, since bleach, Lysol and various alcohols also kill MRSA.
> 200 years ago, there was no need for such things. Monarchy was considered a perfectly legitimate form of government. Voting was considered dangerous, and people often argued that democracy would be "mob rule" or "tyranny of the masses".

By 1815, even many monarchies had elections of some form.

> Consider the words of (19th century general) Santa Anna: "[The Mexican people] do not know what [liberty] is, unenlightened as they are, and under the influence of a Catholic clergy, a despotism is the proper government for them, but there is no reason why it should not be a wise and virtuous one."

Yeah, but Santa Anna said that to justify his actions at replacing an federal representative system (which he himself had also been instrumental in creating) with a centralized dictatorship, an act which provoked much of the country to revolt with three breakaway republics declared, and a massive civil war.

So, in context, its not really support for the idea that people even at that time didn't see elections and democracy as important. Indeed, arguably, the results of things like Santa Anna's efforts are why later authoritarians often prefer at least an illusion of democratic accountability.
Not really. There isn't a cultural significance to owning a $100 Monster cable (other than signalling you are probably not tech savvy).
> Instead of saving the time in UTC along with the time zone, developers can save what the user expects us to save: the wall time. Ie. what the clock on the wall will say.

That's not at all foolproof, although it works for the case the author describes and probably works for most people most of the time. It wouldn't work if, for some reason, I'm entering a calendar event for something I know will happen exactly n hours from now.
Thanks for the correction. I don't have the iPad version myself, so I was going off of comments made by other users. It sounds like people who did pay for Pro when they did offer it in the iPad version are upset, then.
> The problem is that turning actions which cause no harm (injury, loss, or damage to another) or threat of harm into crimes is perversion of law

Drug use does harm. It harms users and it harms their families. The harms do not cease to be harms just because they're self-inflicted. Nor do they cease to be harms just because some countries have responded with legal regimes that are arguably worse than the problem.
That's a heck of a stretch of history. They wanted gov powers "limited" as opposed to "unlimited", but the concept that the US was set up with almost no government is a (false) Libertarian talking point.

Different supply/demand scenarios in summer/winter.

Currently the wind turbines are down over 50%, due to icing.

Solar is out during snow/fog and night time.

Winter peak demand is night/morning (solar supply is out/minimum), versus summer peak demand is afternoon (solar supply is at a maximum).
Yeah, that’s been the thinking at least since Lippmann’s time.

If you only vote on local issues, you don’t need media to inform you since you can see it first hand. But as soon as the average citizen is expected to keep up with state, national, intl politics you need a media capable of informing them.
I guess. I take issue with the use of the word "likely" here though.
You're not supposed to do something special to govern.

You're supposed to do what the voters voted you in for.
I don't know the exact list, but pricespy (prisjakt) is in a lot of countries. I have used .no/.se/.co.uk previously and they all seem to be at about the same level for their respective countries.
In a different perspective, was wondering if this approach gives any goodness to eyes for the kids since they don't do GUI much. Any thoughts, skypeople (just watched avatar) :)
I'd imagine traffic variation increases drastically with higher population densities. It's really not much of a problem in rural areas or smaller cities.

They say that. 20 years ahead is way too hard to predict with any meaningful features. (Does Spartan ship with JavaScript events for brain interfaces?) Really it just boils down to the fact they're starting a big browser project with a fresh slate from today.

The most a browser can really do is make the architecture sufficiently modular and extensible based on a layered architecture. The web stack has always done pretty well at that anyway and even more so with the newer low-level standards like fetch and service workers.
As a keyboard player I'd love to try it out, it's hard to know the difference from just a recording without feeling the vibrations.
> Any idea what the quoted carriage return does?

From creating vi (nvi, on NetBSD) macros, I'm used to thinking in terms of competely replicating the keystrokes that one would do interactively... so I tried it both ways (with and without ^M). The way I published is the one that works. Why the ^M ? Because if you're working interactively the search-pattern isn't submitted until you press Enter. nvi(1) (what NetBSD (and Free and OpenBSD) uses) will accept "-c" "command" arguments which are similar to the less(1) "+"... so, you can:

$ vi -c 123 ./myfile

and start editing "./myfile" at line 123. Nice for edit/compile/edit/compile dance that might happen if you're developing software. Play with that (and try your imagination with other ideas).

Have fun, happy exploring.
Another possible misunderstanding is that "wala" in Filipino means to be missing/absent.

I was confused for a moment before I thought of "voila".
While I totally agree that you should try to save up as much as you can, playing it too safe will inhibit your professional growth.

When I decided to get into freelancing, five days after giving my employer notice I had a 12 months consulting contract lined up paying a lot more money for a lot less (but much more interesting) work. If I was worrying too much about financial runways, I'd probably still be at my old job, "playing it safe".
Manitu is great, they're cheap and provide excellent support, for urgent stuff like dead disks even free in the night...
Hi back, and thank you for sharing your personal story. This confirms that some doctoral school directors actually enforce this verification of financial situation.

De Normalien à Normalien, bravo pour Ulm, moi j'étais même pas admissible ;-)
Why? Even now, you can just forward the guest port to the host and expose it to give people access.

Vagrant share makes the process of doing this super easy which is great, because you don't need to do any of that manual trickery.
Ahh yes, before it adopted GPL. I should have spotted that because it’s very typical of Apple hehe
It's not crazy: You've just summarised filmmaking.

Costumes, sets, special effects, props, etc. all are like that. Specialised and skilled people spending a lot of time and effort for things that may or may not get a lot of screen time.

But even a short screen time can be very important for the film and have a lasting effect. Example: That very program.
Right! And despite that, it loads in seconds. Traction would be very different if people had to install facebook on their computers to try it out!

"Oh yeah its this cool social network.. just download - no, not the portable executable version... yeah, its 300 megs... Then you need to click it to install it"
Not seeing it here. My slack profiles across several workspaces have the correct time zones.
Is not the money that is the problem, they hold bonds because they specifically do not want US dollars and are waiting for the time when the US (or the world) has something other than US dollars to offer them.

They don't want dollars doesn't matter who prints them.
Also, see Jake Wharton's Docker GPhotos Sync [0] for a containerized version of this tool. Unfortunately, this method seems to be the easiest way to automate a backup at full quality.

cpu usage on each client is also an issue. Architecturally, WebRTC connections are always peer-to-peer, in the sense that each transport carrying media is negotiated individually and does its own bandwidth shaping.

This has some really nice properties. Doing the bandwidth shaping individually for each transport maximizes video quality for each track, but it also means that in an N-way call you have to encode your outgoing video N-1 times. Even with a perfect network connection, you run out of cpu to do the encoding at some point.

Today, on a pretty new-ish laptop the limit for how many outgoing videos you can encode (<waves hands about codecs and settings>) is ~10. On an older Android phone that limit is ~1.

It's possible to imagine changing how WebRTC works so that separate transports can reuse encoded streams. And hopefully that will become possible at some point (https://www.w3.org/TR/webrtc-nv-use-cases/). But not anytime soon. :-(
That completely misses the point that there are users for whom location sharing is a strict no-go. Having the feature exist to pose a risk of accidental enabling or default enabling could result in death.
An invite would be nice, if anyone is willing.

They do....

I worked for them for 4.5 years as the architect with their Innovations & Ventures team. Very cool place to work.
I developing desktop QT app currently.

I'd love to get a phone that supports QT just to start looking at a mobile port. My current provider, Sprint, doesn't seem to have any and I can't see any other providers who do.

There's talk of a port of Qt to Android port but I haven't gotten any details (obviously Java versus C++ is an issue).
Yes, the question is not merely one of penetration, nor of avoiding arcane usage, but rather whether the word is standard English. There's no easy way to define that, which is why NYT employs someone to decide for its writers. Three criteria important for Corbett are mentioned in his missive: "Except for special effect, we try to avoid colloquialisms, neologisms and jargon. And “tweet” — as a noun or a verb, referring to messages on Twitter — is all three." Each criterion seems reasonable to me. Lots of words start off life as neologisms or colloquialisms and become standard. Corbett is just saying that 'tweet' in non-ornithological contexts isn't there yet. I think the argument is indefectible (one of my favorite standard English words, though it's not in the spell-check dictionary).

It's sarcasm. "I interviewed all three women who attended" as in: there were hardly any there.
Fair enough. "Disdain" was a poor word choice I made, so I stand corrected.
