Without going into whether this belief is well founded (personally I don't think it is), its a combination of two factors: an assumption that there is a pool of potential business owners already in the state who are deterred by higher taxes, and a desire to be like Delaware (or internationally, Ireland), where low taxes and favorable regulatory structure are such that many large, inter-state or multinational corporations headquarter themselves there.

The first point, as you suggested, is pretty questionable. As you pointed out, it's worth noting that the current wave of entrepreneurship has headquartered itself in California, New York, and Massachusetts, some of the highest tax areas in the country.
The idea is that the exceptional people now need to become more exceptional later.

I'm not really a conservative, more of a centrist, and I'm totally happy with my taxes going to what you mentioned.

The reality though is that our taxes increasingly go to paying for retirement for state workers (19% - California), welfare (10%), and health care (35%). In other words, a total of 64% of our budget goes to things I will never see a benefit from.

This is what I think the conservatives are railing against - 64% of benefits going to ~10% of the state's citizens.

(I'm not a fiscal conservative, but) Do more taxes pay for more and better civilization? Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.

The question should usually be about the right level of taxes. The problem is that the feedback cycle is often really long. So we are still coasting off of the large investments and projects of the past like the interstate system, dams and waterways, electric grids, etc.

In the short term, we could ignore them (and mostly have), and lower expenditures, and everyone wins! Until it all starts falling apart (which is starting to happen) and we must make huge and costly investments all at once to fix them.

Charlatans are selling short term snake-oil and leaving out the last bit.

Eventually it would be nice for everyone to realize there is a cost to the level of civilization we enjoy. We do however need to be sure we are getting our tax dollars' worth.

The big question is whether our electoral system/voting population can be convinced to elect realists.

So let me get this straight ...

They were able to plug in a laptop into the car and gain control. In fact, physical access is necessary.

Tesla used the cloud connected features to update the software, removing the physical vulnerability.

Yes, the connected nature of the car is an attack vector. But it seems there are other attack vectors which are far worse and the connected nature can be used to protect the vehicle.

Actually, Windows 10 - so if I understand it correctly this is about universal apps and as such would mean that if you port your app succesfully it would immediately run on all phones/desktops/tablets/whatever running Windows 10? If so it seems like this could be a major thing given the amount of complaints I read about the lack of apps for windows phones, i.e. in the long run if this works out then it's goodbye Android/iOS-only apps and welcome Android/iOS/Windows apps?

But the satellite is at the L1 Lagrange point which is between the earth and the sun. So if you see the moon pass in front of the earth from L1 shouldn't the moon then also be directly between the earth and the sun?
And as someone in another post noted: you can see the suns reflection in the ocean. And the moon passes directly over this spot.
> The question should usually be about the right level of taxes.

No, it should really be about the right distribution of taxes (which includes not just "how much" but "from whom" / "on what activity".)

Texas provides almost no services to its citizens, unless you only need roads. I would not use them as a shining example:

"Despite having the highest birth rate, Texas has the worst rate of women with health insurance, and the worst rate of pregnant women receiving prenatal care in the first trimester, according to the report commissioned by the Legislative Study Group, a liberal-leaning research caucus in the Texas House. While Texas has the second-highest public school enrollment, the state ranks last in the percentage of people 25 and older with a high school diploma. And though Texas has the highest percent of its population without health insurance, the state is 49th in per capita spending on Medicaid, and dead last in per capita spending on mental health, according to the report. "

The truth is that many medical and dental offices offer horrible customer service, and patients aren't likely to leave a positive review for a medical or dental office on Yelp.

A couple of my family members have put their medical and dental offices through the Scheduling Institute[1]'s on-site consulting. The day starts with an institute trainer picking up the phone book, and calling several competing practices in the area to try and make an appointment.

Invariably, the receptionists are brisk, and often outright hostile. They get long hold times, and very poor customer service. And that of course doesn't end once the patient actually makes it to the practice.

There are reasons behind this (overworked providers and office staff, a limited marketplace, poor customer service training), but the result is even if the actual provider gives great care, the overall patient experience can be pretty shitty.

The other challenge I've experienced with my wife's medical practice (which puts an emphasis on customer service) is that patients don't really think about reviewing their doctor on yelp for a "good" experience. We do patient satisfaction surveys, and while the vast majority of patient's who respond to the surveys are very happy with their care, very few will leave a Yelp review about it.

We do just about everything we can without outright asking for Yelp reviews (check-in offers, prominently linking to Yelp from our site etc.), and still only 0.2% of her patients have left a review on Yelp, and only about 25% of those reviews have made it through Yelp's filtering process to actually post.

The other contributing factor is that older people use healthcare more than younger people, and older people aren't as likely to use Yelp. When I have a positive experience at a local business, I'll leave them a review on Yelp as a way of saying "thank you." If my wife could trade every jar of jam, or tray of cookies she got from a grateful patient for a positive Yelp review, she'd have hundreds of 5* reviews and I'd probably be a few lbs thinner.

Not a lawyer but I'm obligated to be at least partially conversant with this by dint of once being a consultant and now being an employer:

The driver is clearly not an employee of the passenger. A driver given the instruction that they must comply with the passenger's preferences (as opposed to exercising their judgement as an independent business) may well become an employee of the entity enforcing that instruction.

It will probably be remarked upon in litigation over Uber that Uber will terminate their relationship with drivers who fall below a particular cutoff, specifically tells drivers this, and often specifically instructs them in ways to ensure this doesn't happen to them. These do not feel like insignificant facts to me.

I'd ask Grellas to handicap Uber's risk of being reclassified prior to asking me to do it, since he is an expert on this subject and I am not, but even from my lay view of the situation it looks like some of the Uber for Xs are at markedly more risk than others. Uber feels markedly less risky than firms which e.g. develop in-app checklists for heading off particular ops problems.
With reasonable abstractions. Someone else mentioned DB transaction logs, but you can also look at Kafka and GetEventStore for additional reference points.

That said, you don't necessarily want/need to apply ES to every single entity in your model. Typically, you want to apply it to those entities that have complex lifecycles or that are highly dynamic and might involve a lot of complexity.

ES actually often makes it much easier to reason about complex lifecycles because you can isolate the transition logic into discrete units of code. So, it's actually tool for managing complexity.

In terms of performance overhead, ES usually results in significant write-side performance improvements because you can either remove or dramatically simplify your transaction coordination overhead (increase concurrency, reduced latency).

To address read-side performance, people generally use a cached or materialized view that is lazily updated or implemented with the events as the "write-behind" log for the cached view. This read-side detail is why ES is most often associated with CQRS or lambda-style architectures.

As an example, in banking scenarios, you would determine "current balance" by adding up all of the past transactions on an account. Rather than doing this computation every single time you want the current balance, you typically settle the account in a nightly job and store the "nightly balance" and then compute the "current balance" by only considering new transactions for the day.
I do not define culture as "Hollywood movies and pop music," and do not appreciate the personal attack. You should learn how to read properly. My cultural horizons are broad enough, thank you.

Science literate people: looks at the past X hundreds years of data, and the past 30 years mean to assume trends.

You can blame the markets for a lot of things, but they conduct larger analysis than you do at the grocery store and try to understand all the variable leading to a situation, thus, having a deeper global overlook on things.
Not everyone can do that. Some people also have to actually plant the corn for your food, fix the plumbing, etc. Imagine them all creating their own opportunities instead. Thanks to industrialization and automation it surely would be possible for them to work half their current hours and get more sleep (with more people required to work in those kind of jobs), but somehow this isn't what's happening.

The single minded focus on taxes to recruit businesses strikes me as severely misguided. Sure, found a business here in Kansas where you save on paying high taxes on your business. Pay it all back when your child makes the mistake of enrolling in the University of Kansas system. Perhaps this isn't the specific case in Kansas, maybe the Kansas system has lowered costs, but I have a feeling you pay it back in some form when you finally, in some way start to imbibe on a now underfunded public entity.
> The fact that Denver, Kansas City, MO and Omaha all flank the state and contain more developed business centers also makes company development unlikely.

These are related. Between Chicago and Seattle, for major metro areas, there's basically just Minneapolis.

If they were in a Delaware situation, wouldn't they not get many of the secondary and tertiary benefits of the business? Ie, there would be a shell company there, but not many jobs, and therefore not many people's commerce adding to the state's prosperity?

My understanding was that these benefits were what made this sort of thinking work.
Thank you very much for your feedback and insight.

Comp has never been an issue, but I usually don't get that far. I definitely do have some base requirements in terms of what stage the startup is in from a maturity/funding standpoint, because things like benefits are a deal breaker for me. My comp/equity expectations are definitely adjusted for the fact that I am not a founder nor likely employee 1-5 or 10, and if numbers are ever discussed, we're always in the ballpark.

Your first point about being overqualified is a good one; I don't know how I can demonstrate that I'm not expecting a 'process' or an 'environment' in which to sell; those are both horrible at my current company, so I wouldn't want them if even given the option.

I don't know how I square your circle of staying relevant in terms of technology unless it's my day job; that's what I'm trying to do! I'd love to get my 'geek fix' at work and not after hours.

I've also been using it for about a year and am generally happy with it. One caveat is that it does sometimes end up breaking site functionality when it blocks a script from loading, occasionally in confusing ways. Usually you can fix this by overriding a few of the blocked things in the dropdown list, but it takes a little bit of technical savvy to figure out what needs to be allowed. I had to disable it on my parents' computer because they got frustrated by sites breaking.

This is mostly with an earlier version; I just upgraded to 1.0 today.
There might be a problem with this. They are currently using ObjFW, an old implementation of the ObjC runtime, but Swift needs some ugly hacks in the ObjC runtime to support the Swift "additions" and "extensions". Will be interesting to see the MS runtime expand as well.

"Embrace and extend" - Microsoft's long-standing strategy for overtaking & destroying the ahead-of-the-game competition. Provide high-quality tools cheap, seduce developers off the canonical platform and onto MS's highly compatible equivalents, then slowly fork the standard, leaving customers with the choice of abandoning their deeply-vested stake in MS toolsets etc or going all-in with MS.

AFAIK we ended up with C# because MS created a very nice Java IDE, started to fork it, developers vested in that IDE got mad at Sun Microsystems (developers & owners of Java standard), Sun sued MS, MS was told to cut it out, MS mutated Java into C#.

Let's hope this doesn't turn into MS trying to rip iOS developers/users away from Apple as done many times before.
As far as I know, none of the UK macro operators support Voice Over LTE yet, so yes, if you receive a phone call on 4G you get a paging message telling you to fall back to 2/3G circuit switched and answer the damn thing.

I'm assuming this is my stock S5 won't let me choose 4G only (calls become impossible), where as I can lock it to _just_ 3G.

I don't feel this fully addresses the original statement of "no 4G, hacked", though. If the downgrade-to-2G attack is the worry then 3G & 4G should be perfectly fine.

edit: grammar: supported->support.
