True, but people fear terrorism because it's something they can't control. Police are also something people can't control, so comparing police deaths to terrorism deaths is a great comparison.
I doubt it. You'll wind up with people who studied engineering because their parents made them do it and because it pays well, not because they enjoy it or they're particularly good at it.
Sure you could.

I lived in Boston for a long time, > 8 years. I actually just left there over the summer b/c the job market was so poor. I interviewed top to bottom. I worked in a finance company there after I finished grad school there, and I left and worked remotely (from Cambridge) for a Python-focused start-up, then left that to do functional programming for an ed tech company. I couldn't deal with how little professional engineering actually happened in these jobs, and I searched and searched for jobs in the area, but found nothing reasonable.

I'm still actively looking in Boston, and would enjoy living at least in New England (my dream job would be something about functional programming but located in Burlington VT (I know... dream on...)).

But I will say I was very disappointed with the Boston job market. It superficially seems like there's a lot there, but so much of it is open-plan office marketing fluff crammed into Agile-heavy incubator spaces, which I don't consider to be real jobs. Sigh.
Clannish and wasteful, not stupid.
Say, I claim Prophethood today, and therefore there is n+1 religions meeting the said 'objective standard' now. Well, that number is not quite correct 'now' that you are reading it though; it has to be n+k given other potential claims made in the meanwhile, and k remains effectively indeterminate due to the impossibility of a distributed synchronization.
> China has near clones of the F-35 Lightning, the Comanche stealth helicopter, the best of Russia's newest generation of tanks, etc.

So they say. There's no way I'm taking China at their word. They're only slightly less full of it than North Korea.

And according to the wikipedia page on the Shenyang J-31, it (at best) matches up with 4th generation fighters. Not the F35. They tried to copy it but their copy is only (maybe) as good as the previous 4th generation. Which is of little to no concern.

Which is kinda that point. Their knock-offs are just that. Knock-offs. And none of those IP theft acquisitions have been recent. Their F35 theft supposedly happened nearly a decade ago.
It's Time for Sean Rad to Leave Tinder. For Good
this is equivalent to asking math students to provide their answer but not show their work. I interview people to figure out how they think and learn how they solve problems. I don't actually care about the answer they give to the technical question nearly as much as how they got there. No way in hell I'd do this, nevermind pay for it.
I don't know if it counts as a 'source' but tech companies in NYC/Seattle/SF pay $75,000/yr+ to 19-20 year old interns with almost no experience. And not as a rare occurrence, I had 10 offers at the same time any given term and so did most of my classmates.

Hardly sounds like they're being exploited and suffering due to a glut in supply. Either that or "exploitation" rates in the US are double the market rate in Canada/EU.
as a father of three, I totally agree.

Unicorn idea: As soon as you feel you have too much stuff/outgrown it, you give it to my startup that takes your hand-me-UPs! and cleans them and sorts them and then posts them to our tinder-like UI where you can browse based on categories and your "discovery prefs" are your kids age... you then look through a range of various baby hand-me-ups and swipe right to add to cart and have shipped to you.

you can return them later and if they are in good enough condition, you get a restock credit (think CrossRoads in SF (your lady friend may know this store)....

Put more simply. If the terrorist wants to stay safe they would exploit any loophole. If conversation is backdoored but banking is not, they could use online banking and code word type messages in transaction descriptions that move trivial amounts of money back and forth between multiple accounts.
Well said! The grass is(and looked) always greener on the other side of the fence.

I decided to become a musician when I was 15 and wasted 6 years pursuing the unrealistic dream. I somehow managed to gave up the dream and became interested in computing in college. I sometimes wish I had become interested in programming instead of drums in junior high, but those 6 years of hustles taught me a lot about team management, entrepreneurship, and how to learn new things. So I don't think I wasted 6 years. As Paul Graham says, you should explore when you are young.

I've been really disappointed with Lyft, even as I've used it for over 100 rides. The driver quality has been getting worse and worse. I got an email months ago telling me that I had gotten enough rides to be in the top 10% and be a part of "Lyft Nation", and then never heard about that again. And today they tried to get me to buy Justin Bieber music of all things, right from the app.

So I downloaded Uber today. I really wanted to like you Lyft, but your problems are of your own doing.
But I don't want to include a header just to use bool. I'm willing to include a header for big things (like strcmp), but bool is such a small convenience that it should be available without an include, because otherwise it's less work to just use an int than to go to the top of the file and add an include.

Plus, I think the idea of putting each keyword behind an include gets annoying if you do this for a significant fraction of your keywords. (It's neat that you can, but... should you?) For instance, imagine if throw, class, and protected were all behind separate includes?
Angular Crash Course – Learning Path

That linked tread is surreal. Some things thieves use:

"Cops found shattered pieces from my U-lock and told me the thief used liquid nitrogen."

"The thief used a portable plasma cutter in broad daylight."

And a comment that's hard to disagree with:

"We used to hang horse theives no reason not to hang bike theives."
I'll answer what I can:
First, you're correct on the valuation. If they are exercised and cashed out at the IPO price, the employee would earn $80k pre-tax. However, historically most IPOs are priced to get a "bounce" on opening day also there are usually restrictive covenants around the number of insider shares that can be cashed on IPO day. (This is meant to give investors warm fuzzy feelings about the stock.) In all likelihood the employee will have to wait some more time and will probably cash out closer to $10/share.

The Pricing and Valuation implies 300M shares. However there can be many classes of stock, both common and preferred that grant different rights and ownership. If they have different classes they could have a different number of shares, but the different share types are valued differently.

Shares are just objects granting different rights around the company within certain legal limits. (Ownership, Governance, Profit share, etc.) If you have agreement from the controlling body you can instantiate, remove, or restructure shares at any time. The point is that they could have decided with their bankers that 300M was a good number of shares to have at an IPO and decided to split or reverse split as part of the transaction. It has no bearing on the number of shares today or a year ago.
This is anecdotal, of course, but there are frequent TV news stories here in the SF Bay Area showing surveillance video of burglaries and home invasions; three a the typical crew size.

One thing we don't know is how many small-take thefts just go unreported now, as break-ins (of autos, especially) have become epidemic. My city doesn't even send a response for property crimes now. The victim just files a report on their website for insurance purposes. A friend in Berkeley had two petty burglaries in the past year-plus and didn't report for that reason.

You could try telling them that police kill more people than terrorist do https://reason.com/blog/2014/12/09/more-than-1000-people-hav...
Effectively, yes. If an employee has 10,000 options with a $1 strike that means they can purchase 10,000 shares for $1 each. Since the shares are worth $9 the employee can then sell those shares immediately for an $8 profit, or $80,000.

As far as how many shares Square has, it's much more than 300k. That's just what they're offering to the public. That percentage is listed in their S1 filing somewhere

How many shares they started with. Who knows. Doesn't really matter.

Uber is even worse. And they pay their drivers worse and seem to be a worse company to work for.

But I do agree - I've used it over 200 times in the last year and I've been giving a lot more non-5 star ratings lately. Drivers who are dangerous.. Drivers who don't pay attention to their GPS.. Drivers who fiddle with their phone while driving.. Drivers who plain miss me and cancel the ride.

I started using Lyft because I didn't want my drivers to drive like cabbies (as Uber drivers often felt like).. maybe that's simply something you can't expect in this market for very long.

You're working, gaining experience and making money. Since the job market is great, an H-1B isn't really something that would keep you back from negotiating your salary or anything else.

I'd personally recommend it (having been on L-1B and H-1B).

I remember it very differently.

It's particularly interesting that you start with 1995, since that's the year of Bill Gates's "Tidal Wave" memo. A large chunk of MS suddenly devoted itself to getting Really Good At The Internet, and within a few months produced the best web browser on the market (IE 3, the first mainstream browser to implement CSS) and the best JVM (far faster than Sun's own at the time). IE continued to be the best browser until Firefox came out. (Yes, you can argue for Seamonkey, but it took years for it to be usably stable.) Every version of IE up to and including 6.0 was more standards-compliant than the equivalent Netscape release.

I was doing all kinds of web development on both Linux and Windows NT back then. I never got used to Windows for web hosting, but I far preferred developing against MS SQL Server than any other DB, due to its features and documentation.
I'm seeing reports that Khosla led a Series A round of $10 million at $0.22/share (http://www.cnbc.com/2015/11/09/square-ipo-will-net-big-win-f...). At a $40M valuation.

$40M/$0.22 = ~182 million shares at that point? So they've almost doubled the number of shares they started with if they're IPOing at 300 million shares. Does that sound like a reasonable bit of math?

Not sure whether this adds up in case of burglary, but you can sell iPhones and iPads for spare parts. I think the hardware of a new iPhone would be worth something north of $100 in Shenzhen. Probably even more in the western repair shop, where they compete only with producer's parts that have huge markup.

Why would they go back? That strategy seemed promising in the beginning but clearly it caused massive damage to their reputation and simply doesn't work in the long term.
Let me start by saying that I agree that desktop electronics manufacturing will be the "next big thing" in the maker movement, and I am a huge fan.

However, this article does not mention two very important issues. In order to make a circuit board of any interesting complexity (i.e. more than an Arduino and a few LEDs), you need more than 2 copper layers to route your traces on. And, you need VIAs (Vertical Interconnect Access), which are columns of copper that make electrical connections between the layers.

I have used a PCB mill and while it is very useful for making extremely simple circuits, it only lets you mill 2-layer boards, and it does not let you make VIAs (instead you have to manually drill a hole through the board and solder a pin into the hole, and this approach has a much much larger diameter than a real via).

In order to be interesting for "maker" goals such as Linux machines, IoT, and robotics, there needs to be a desktop fab solution that can at the very least make 4-layer boards, with VIAs.
This is a fairly typical Nanex piece: start with loaded language before you've made your case, be "data-centric" yet leave out important details, intentionally exclude obvious details. By now this is all explained publicly many times over and Nanex are definitely aware of it.

In the follow-up they admit that by not being stupid you get the fill you want. Hence not rigged or stolen, just that naive execution is a poor choice: same as in unfragmented markets, same as before HFT.

I guess what I'm getting at is something like this:

If you're given 1% of the company in the form of stock options as an employee, how can one get a grip on what that's worth should a company IPO? Like, if I came in as a high-level hire at Square. Early in the game. Jack gave me 1% of the company in the form of employee stock options. Now I'm vested. What would that mean to me now, after an IPO? How does one even begin to pick that apart if shares can be created or destroyed whenever?

Maybe I'm asking stupid questions. I'm just trying to understand since in my I'm constantly hearing numbers thrown around and, as a non-finance person, it can be hard to know what's really going on. (Which makes it easy to feel like I'm being taken advantage of.)

Pretty much. You say it's all mathematics, I'll say it's a simulation. Or maybe it's a dream. Or a the manifestation of another being's will. Or something completely incomprehensible.

Why should anyone care that it's mathematics? It's certainly not like any mathematics that we know; we can't do it some other way if we don't understand it. It's too big to fit in a brain, and too complex to simplify accurately. Since we don't understand its axioms, how do we know they form a mathematical structure?
Ah yes, the good old 'if only they could all be treated like Saudi royalty, they wouldn't blow themselves up in the middle of a marketplace' argument!

Standard of living is a continuous curve which has absolutely nothing to do with mass murder. There is a binary switch which occurs separately from any experience which is measured in terms of 'standard of living'. Now maybe there are some experiences which can drive a person to commit terrorism, but I think more likely, this terrorism is not a consequence of some action, but rather, these are a group of people who use terrorism as a tool to wage war. Why are they at war with the West? It's not because of standard of living, I'm pretty sure it's because they hate everything the West stands for and wants it to burn.
"Just because something isn't necessary doesn't mean we shouldn't do it."

So you're saying we should have committed mass murder and armed terror groups throughout the Middle East in the name of stealing resources or manipulating politics? Did you do any research to back this or are you writing up some far-fetched, sophist comment since you can't counter my points?

"And I really don't see how people committing acts of terrorism are making good decisions that we should support by giving them what they want for doing so."

Last I checked, the U.S. was still trying to screw with and control much of the Middle East instead of support them. The regions where we have the most meddling are among the least stable. Doing good over there instead of evil might actually accomplish something. Further, areas with groups like ISIS aren't terrorism vs Some Good Government rather than a group of competing evil groups all set on controlling and oppressing the area. So, fighting one isn't fighting terrorism so much as fighting one group while putting another into power.

You won't see the U.S. truly fight oppression over there because it's not in power-players financial and political interests. There's benefits to be had from continued partnerships with dictators and theocracies. Just ask Saudi Arabia.

Why expect more from Muslims than those of other religious faiths?

Let's get this straight: all faith leads to backwardness and death. The more consistently a faith is practiced, the more pronounced this becomes.

In the Islamic world, people tend to defer to religion more on most crucial moral issues than they do in the West. (Although with the rise of the religious right, this too is changing, and will destroy our nation if it progresses much further.) This is because the West is still riding off of the embers of the Enlightenment, whose main contribution to mankind was to muzzle religion.

I do not hold Islam to a higher standard than Christianity - they are equally poisonous to life, liberty and the intellect. We have only a short time - 20 to 40 years, maybe - before a return to Christianity puts us down a path to where we are as enslaved and impoverished as the Islamic world is today.
