Any bill that is that important and that uncontroversial has got a lot of political potential energy. And that means that politicians can take some of that lack-of-opposition, add some pork, and wind up with a personal benefit and a slightly-less-unopposed bill.

The end-point of this process is that most bills will barely pass, unless they're so hot politically that it's easy to attack someone over messing with it (think some of the post-9/11 terrorism related votes).

I can't speak for Chrome, but the Mac version of Firefox is a fat binary: it has both a 32-bit and 64-bit version. The 32-bit one is needed mostly for running some plug-ins that will only run 32-bit. On iOS obviously the whole fat binary thing isn't needed.

That's a good point, domain registrars like GoDaddy generally don't make much on domains alone and focus on selling additional services like hosting packets (and SSL), where they probably make most of their money.

However, most browser vendors are already making plans to phase out HTTP without TLS by only providing new features/APIs to HTTPS sites (and eventually by displaying http:// as insecure in the UI).

I think in the end this will force shared hosting providers to include domain-validated certificates (from e.g. letsencrypt) in their base packages for free. Instead, they would probably push OV and EV certs to make up for any revenue loss.

This is obviously not true for the majority of jobs. You can't work harder to make up for your vacation when the job requires your presence (eg waiter, policeman, etc...).

Even for people who could work harder to make up for lost time, I don't agree with the assumption that they would. Remember, everyone has that vacation time, and is required to take it. There's no need to work harder to make up for it.

The one missing part of your understanding: grants are generally reviewed by researcher-peers, not really "funding institutions". Your proposal is read by other researches, scores are given to the grant and then a cutoff score is determined. All grants above that score are funded, those below are not.

This doesn't really change your conclusion, that grant writing is an important skill for acquiring funding but it's not about impressing the funding institution, it's about impressing fellow scientists.

One thing I read that isn't often mentioned is how liquidation preference for late rounds can drive a lot of these insane valuations.

For example, let's say you raise $250MM in a series E at a 10B post money. As a company/founder, this makes you look awesome on paper and super valuable as a company. Meanwhile, the series E investors usually have the top priority for liquidation, meaning the risk is actually pretty small, since the sale/IPO value would have to go below 250MM before you lose money.

The real people getting screwed by these paper unicorns though are the late stage employees being sold options as compensation.

I meant could work, as in the place where it actually did work. I wouldn't yet argue that mass exclusion is necessary so that it can work.

Whether sortition can work in a large, inclusive, and diverse society is an interesting question. Democracy can only work in a high-trust environment where people don't expect their political rivals to say, have them murdered or nationalize major industries. The expansion of enfranchisement in the U.S. (at least) has also coincided with the marginalization of very extreme political movements, like Communism.

Say you have an electorate with a very radical far-left or far-right minority that is anathema to the rest of the citizenry? In an electoral democracy, the minority would be excluded in elections (in a first-past-the-post system) or by inclusion as a clear minority (in proportional representation). In a sortitive democracy, it seems like they would have to be excluded from citizenship, or the government would have to have to be large and diffuse enough that the damage of insane or dangerous people could be constrained by the rest of society.

When people are introduced to the idea of sortition, mostly they are shocked by the idea. Because what if you randomly choose a schizophrenic or Hitler to put in charge of the nuclear weapons? I think you have to encourage this tactic at a more familiar level—rather than a group of friends voting on a restaurant, allowing one person to pick after drawing straws. Which, surely, is not at all like giving them a professional military.

I agree, but it would probably only be an antitrust issue if they refused to deal with DoorDash specifcally; if they maintained a clearing house for blocking everyone who resold their goods without permission, that would probably be okay, right?

> That being said, there's nothing stopping DoorDash from buying food from In-N-Out and delivering it to people. They just can't use the logo.

If DoorDash is buying food and selling it to customers, then there are two areas where I can see problems, aside from the trademark issue:

(1) Storing, transporting, and selling food to customers is fairly regulated and requires inspection and permits. Does DoorDash have these?

(2) Even if DoorDash was legally permitted to sell food at retail, the places DoorDash is getting food from are themselves in the retail food trade but not generally in the wholesale trade; if DoorDash is a reseller, then selling to DoorDash is wholesale food trade, which is regulated differently, and by different agencies. The places DoorDash is buying food are, one would expect, generally not properly permitted to sell to resellers.

(IIRC, normal restaurant delivery services are contracted with the restaurants, which not only handles trademark issues, but also structures the transaction as a sale by the restaurant to the consumer -- where the delivery service may act as a contracted payment intermediary -- with the delivery service then being paid by the restaurant for delivering the food to the customer.)
I actually have "research software engineer" on my resume and you're right, it doesn't do much. In fact I don't think this is uncommon, at least in the US. Myself and former colleagues indeed have no trouble working in industry positions.

However one thing to note is that many cases, research programming has specialized requirements that are rare for most industry positions and domain scientists. For example, numerical analysis to ensure stability of models, distributed computing to scale massive simulations or analytics, algorthims and visualizations to explore datasets, NLP, ML, etc. Some of these skills domain scientists develop but for the most part these are likely going to require someone with a CS background.
> On the other hand, retailers also probably have explicit permission from vendors to resell the good, which DoorDash doesn't.

That's the biggest reason I see. In your case, Kellogg is "allowing" Walmart to resell its products.

"However, I imagine these people just hire programmers to do the work in the same way they might hire lab assistants."

From what I know (decades ago, and from a very low-N and non-representative (biology, psychology) sample), "in the same way" = not.

The typical lab assistants are students or Ph.D. students; the researchers cannot do software engineering, so they write programs.

Things likely are different in medicine and hard physics. When people are used to spending huge sums on hardware, they tend to accept that spending money on a professional is worth it. Similarly, in the humanities, people probably are more likely to realize/accept that paying a professional is worth it.

And the career track should be different from a normal one in the sense that one has more control over what one does, how one does it and when one does it, has higher job security, and works on things that are more fun and/or more fulfilling, all at the expense of lower financial reward.

The internet I like isn't the internet that the greater population likes. I liked when Twitter was just text. I like Twitter because when I follow an entity, I see everything they publish - and if I don't like what they're publishing, I unfollow them, or block them. It's easier to get to the source of information via Twitter. For a while, with third party software, I was able to even more selectively block what was coming down my feed - I think MetroTweet at one point might have allowed regular expression filters. I stick to the web interface & the iOS app, but I would probably pay money again for a third party Twitter app that allows regex filters.

Other people think 140 characters isn't enough for their audience, and write 20 tweets in a row, or post an image with a bunch of text in it.

I keep Facebook fairly reasonable by blocking and unfollowing, but there's so much of the presentation that's just out of my control. I appreciate how I can keep in touch with people I don't get to hang out with often, but I feel like I'm swimming in the deep end of the marketing pool just to wave hi every now and then. With a text feed, I can dream of something like a regex filter - and probably write something to make that happen. With Facebook, there's no way I'll ever be able to tell it "Hide all posts that contain images with caps-lock, block lettering"

Anyhow, that's all to say that I like Twitter more than Facebook, and I'm enjoying whatever it is while it lasts.
Thank you. I was not aware of that!
So by publicly devaluing a portfolio company, Fidelity increases that company's hiring costs. How is that in Fidelity's best interest? Sure, they're devaluing the company, but they still have a stake in it... why be so public about the devaluation?
Something of a bait-and-switch. It's not that transit projects are not still required to prepare enormous reports that take years to complete if there is any possible "negative impact" -- it's just that worsening traffic is no longer considered a "negative impact." The immense bureaucratic snarl still exists, it's just being pointed in a slightly different direction that fits the new anti-car political winds.
> Both PostgreSQL and Cassandra have mature replication frameworks

Speaking of Postgres - master/slave replication is fairly easy and seems to work well. But trying to implement master/master replication is painful. There are some external solutions like Bucardo, which is basically a Perl-based service that handles replication outside of PG (yikes!); there's BDR which is integrated with the main PG daemon, but it's not production ready. And this is only asynchronous replication.

Any suggestions for sane, reliable master/master replication with PG that simply works?

Another reason against copy-pasting from the web is using unicode characters that look like ASCII ones. This was on HN a week or so ago, but it doesn't hurt to repeat.

Example shell command:

eⅽho 'hello world'

Copy-pasting the above command will fail with the message `eⅽho: command not found`. The reason? 'ⅽ' in 'eⅽho' is a unicode character "SMALL ROMAN NUMERAL ONE HUNDRED" that looks identical to regular ascii 'c'.

The above can also be mis-used for any programming language, not just shell commands.

Is it undesirable, though? Maybe I am misunderstanding what Fidelity is doing, but it seems to be a careful reconsideration of the very high valuations placed on these startups. This kind of re-adjustment is exactly what would be necessary to keep the market stable and avoid a runaway bubble, right?
Thanks! Few clarifications:

If you clone a chip, then first you have to buy each chip you wish to clone (so why bother counterfeiting?)

Your maybe do not want to sell a lot of chips but only one chip to one specific buyer and also add some additional payload.

Sexual selection is culturally relative and most people who want to reproduce get to reproduce in most societies, i.e. there is very little sexual selection. Human appearances are very diverse, especially sexual characteristics. It is hard to come up with a characteristic of human appearance that doesn't have a large diversity of phenotypes and from this observation we can reasonably infer that appearance is not strongly selected for.
I think you have it backwards.

If all jobs got roughly the same remuneration, most people would take the easy fun job, as much as they claim otherwise.

Speaking from Washington State so far, the best analogy is "microbreweries." When the product is consistent and labeled by strain, people learn quite quickly about getting the effects or taste they want. But still a boutique entertainment, ultimately.

Of course, many of the microbreweries were bought by Anheuser-Busch, so microbreweries were/are opportunities. But that's "latest trendy foodstuff" big, not "whole-internet" big.

> I'm not aware of any law that could prevent someone from going to a restaurant, buying food, and delivering it to whomever they wish.

DoorDash isn't just delivering the food it buys, it is selling it (unlike a normal third-party restauarant delivery service, where the customer purchases food from the restaurant -- possibly with an extra delivery service charge -- and the restauarant hires the delivery company to delivery it to the customer.)

Selling food to customers is regulated and requires various permits, and selling food to resellers is separately regulated from selling to consumers (and the restaurants DoorDash is buying from may well not be properly permitted to sell to resellers.)

Sure, I can buy food at In-N-Out, drive it to someone, and give it to them, but if I start a business of reselling food from In-N-Out or other restaurants, there are a host of legal issues involved (and not just trademark issues of trading on those restaurants' brands and logos.)
