I had one of these paper-plane conversion kits a year or so back: it lasted exactly 15 seconds before breaking in the hands of my kids. The push-prop configuration simply doesn't provide enough power and stability for the kinds of planes that get made.

So I think this is a better investment, personally, for anyone wanting to get into small/light FPV flying:

While you can easily replace a paper-airplane with new parts/designs, etc. the Vapor will simply fly better.

> "Proof-of-work is essentially one-CPU-one-vote." - Nakamoto

Yes this is one of the things that Satoshi got wrong. "1 CPU = 1 vote" is wrong. Turns out that Proof-of-Work is unrelated to the physical quantity of CPUs, rather it's more about computation and hashrate. Also it's a stretch to call Proof-of-Work a vote ..... it's not an election, it's more like a random lottery or something.
I'm surprised that more folks haven't just gone to 8,192-bit keys, out of an abundance of caution.
When I watched Tomorrowland, this is the idea that struck me: that it had been a long time since I've seen anyone who was so determined to be optimistic.

There's a really great quote I came across in a comic [0]:

Max: Fear is easy. Fear is cheap.
Instead of fear, we're going to give the people hope.
Sam: Fear vs. Hope. Hardly an even match.
Max: That's because you think of hope as something light
and fragile. My version of hope has calluses and dirt
under the fingernails and isn't past bringing brass
knuckles to a fight.

I like to think there's a sort of grinding optimisim that really gets things done. Where people slog through the hard work, slowly and gradually dragging us to a slightly better future. You can knock a lot down with some FUD conflagration, but there's some stuff that will be lasting. And this article highlights stuff that will - at least - last a couple decades.

Think of turning on language extensions as importing a library. Lots and lots of language extensions are pretty much as benign as importing a standard library. Moving them into the language proper is an aesthetic issue that has minimal effect on writing production code.

If you were not working actively on this project for last 4 years because the timing was wrong then don't talk about it. Just don't.

Inactive projects don't matter while talking about it can give an impression that you were struggling for way too long didn't get far with it.

Sidenote: please clearly explain what you're doing on top of the page (above "the fold"). Each section should be explained in writing, not just a video.

Including "for investors" section also looks incredibly weird to me...
the article isn't exaggerating; I take out two hundred kronor (not from an atm, but from the cashier at a supermarket when I pay for my groceries) and then it sits in my wallet 'just in case' for months. I carry a 10 Kr coin too, in case I need to use an old public toilet or borrow a shopping trolley.

Swish is really taking off too. Even market stalls take Swish.

The part of the story that shows its Americanism though is the intro - churches in Sweden are basically empty :)
Other posters are giving good advice. I agree with finding a better place to work. However, reading between the lines, I have some more general advice which you can follow or not, as you see fit.

As one of the other posters mentioned, you seem to be young. I say that not because you say anything in particular that gives it away, but that most of us old guys have gone through what you're going through many times before. Team lead is usually as much a political position as it is a technical position. Knowing how to deal with these issues and how to surf the chaos that can happen at the programmer/manager interface is a big part of the job.

I don't want to kick you while you're down, but it's important to realize that you have not succeeded in the political side of your job. It may very well be the case that you could not succeed, no matter what you did. That happens. However, you need to be quicker on the draw to either solve the problem or get out. It's way too late now (which is why the advice here is uniformly telling you to get out). In fact, understanding when not to take a team lead position is very important for your career.

When you have a failed project like this (and from your description, you can feel free to mentally label this project with a big red "failed" stamp), it is quite important to reflect upon what you could have done to save it. It's easy to say, "It was K's fault" or "Nobody listened to me", but if you were to save the project, it is entirely possible that it will require you to influence K in a certain way. Or perhaps you need to get more influence with people higher up in the project. The fact that your performance report was downgraded indicates a certain souring of the relationship with those above you. Rather than worrying about whether they can do this, you should be wondering, "Where did I screw up that relationship?"

My advice to you is to find a position with a very strong lead developer. When interviewing for a new position, make sure to seek out the lead you will be working for and choose a group where you will learn the skills that will enable you to be successful the next time you are in that role. I would advise you to avoid another lead position until you find that strong mentor (unless you are hard headed and don't mind the trial and error approach -- which is fine, but a bit taxing stress-wise ;-) ).

Good luck!

I'm not against altruism. That's not the point I was trying to make at all.

But whereas altruistic solutions to problems require continual interest from the donor class (which is subject the same fads as the rest of our culture), or government coercion (which eventually gets co-opted by political considerations), market solutions are robust because people are profiting from them. We'd all love to feed the starving people of the world, but sending ships full of free food isn't the solution (and can actually be harmful). It's much much more effective to set in motion the market forces that will create a stable food supply year after year.

Why do you think Virtu's performance is impossible without "front-running"? Do you not think you would see similar results for any firm with statistically positive EV that makes a large number of trades every day?
There may be some truth in this, but I think it's overstated. The OP did speak up about major issues with the project, even suggesting moving people from the front end team to the back end team, which was done.

I don't think there's much one can do about an co-worker at one's own level, who is successfully blaming everyone else for the project's problems, accumulating influence, and driving away competent subordinates. You just have to get out. Eventually management may figure out the real problem, but if they don't get it yet, you can't wait around for them to get a clue.
True enough; I edited my comment to indicate that I mean all those features at once.

Agreed. However, I mentioned the aside because over the years I've been in the business, I've consistently seen techies look down their noses at sales and marketing staff, bringing their at-home policy over cold calls to work, and taking out their frustrations over their own sales and marketing staff against all vendor sales and marketing staff they meet, especially those who cold call. Your own organization's sales and marketing staff could genuinely suck rocks, but that doesn't mean all outside sales and marketing staff have no value on offer, but by and large technical staff don't recognize that.

That unfortunately perpetuates a vicious cycle, because with only minimal effort, technical staff can easily get a respected seat at the gatekeepers' table, and vastly mitigate the "management picking vendors' technical solution" issue. That very characterization of which illustrates the depth to which technical staff misunderstand what is really going on, because it really should be called "management picking the ROI and solutions to business' challenges, in the absence of proactive solutions put up by technical staff for consideration".
I'm pretty sure it isn't, but this question could be a trap.
For anyone interested in playing around with constraint logic programming I can highly recommend Eclipse (not to be confused with the IDE): http://eclipseclp.org/

Nasa is different. As a wing of the US government many of their innovations were shared. From a public perspective, all the photos and such taken during Apollo were public domain. Earthrise, arguably the most well-known image on earth, went strait to public domain. (This might explain some of the lack of coverage given that all the media feeds were SpaceX-owned and it wasn't clear how they were to be shared.)

Engineers who worked at Apollo-era Nasa also went on to all sorts of things, carrying lots of knowhow with them. Even those working for contractors operated under a different regime than today. But the similar knowhow at SpaceX is today proprietary. We won't see any SpaceX engineers walking over to boeing to replicate the technology, not without lawsuits every which way.

I don't mean to criticize, just to illustrate that today's space-fairing corporations are not interchangeable with Nasa.

My concern is that LN puts a premium on unpredictable transaction behavior, and private transactions are unpredictable by nature. Thus, LN trades privacy for efficiency.

It's odd considering the struggle to keep the blocksize near 1MB for the purpose of keeping bitcoin decentralized. LN could centralize by making private transactions very expensive.
There are a few problems, but mainly, it just doesn't meet the requirements for rapid reuse. The goal is to reach the aviation operations model. Land it, inspect it, load it, gas it, go. A turn around measured in hours, not days or weeks. Fishing rockets out of the ocean 200 miles off the coast could never be rapid.

Then there is the technical problem, we're talking about 14tons falling from space at speeds up to 5000mph. Desiging a parachute for that job is anything but simple.

Lastly, it just doesn't scale. Consider that they are designing a rocket for moving huge payloads to Mars. This landing method should scale up to a Saturn V class booster just fine, parachutes just keep getting harder as the weight goes up.
I'll keep that in mind. i certainly wouldn't mind working in a smaller indie outfit.

It is intimidating indeed. The unfortunate fact today is that you must understand and use several language extensions to write real production Haskell code. On the plus side, perhaps the right way to get started is to write everything out longhand and then when you find yourself asking "Man I wish the compiler could do all of this for me" then you'll know what extension to enable. :)

Many extensions (ExistentialQuantification, Rank2Types, RankNTypes, ScopedTypeVariables, TemplateHaskell) are necessary for writing certain types of code in Haskell. I would not be surprised at all to see them folded into the next official version of the Haskell language.

Others are very convenient but relatively benign syntax sugar (RecordWildCards, TupleSections, OverloadedStrings, LambdaCase, DeriveFoldable, DeriveFunctor, DeriveGeneric, DeriveTraversable). These extensions can obliterate huge amounts of boilerplate that you'd need to write otherwise.

Others are more experimental and will remain as extensions for a while.

I believe I heard that the Haskell Prime effort is going to start again, and a new version of the language will integrate the most important and mature extensions, but I'm not following very closely. https://prime.haskell.org/
The problem with bitcoin is very similar to credit. It is extremely difficult for a small business to liquidate.

There is also the added problem of protection. With credit and banking, you are ensured and regulated. Without, you are left to your own ability.

But those aren't the biggest problems. The problem is how do you pay taxes with bitcoin? Their market value at acquisition? Does the market fluctuation between collections and taxes count as interest/losses? Do you have to pay taxes on money lost for changing bitcoin to local currency?

These are all very large problems for a business owner.
Reminder that capitalism required driving people from their land and ability to provide for themselves so that there's a permanent cheap labor force willing to work for practically nothing to survive.

Watergate involved wrongdoing by republican staffers. Bengazi (allegedly) involved wrongdoing by democrats. So there is little debate as to which descriptor a democrat would adopt to attack a fellow democrat.

But the use of "gate" does show the age of the candidates. I'd bet most under 30s in the US do not link 'gate' with watergate.

Is the author seriously suggesting to view deliberate terror attacks against civilians the same as military strikes (drones or planes — I don't see a difference) performed against enemy combatants, by people who are trying to minimize civilian casualties as far as they can?

Yes, it's horrible that sometimes your only choice to kill a high-ranking terrorist is by taking innocent lives with him. But granted how many innocent lives you can save by it, it's more horrible not to do it.

There's never been a war where a victory didn't cost civilian lives, regardless how just was the cost. I really wish western governments would talk about this openly and have a serious discussion about these issues though, instead of awkwardly trying to hush it.
I live in Stockholm, Sweden, I don't think I've had cash in my wallet at any point this year.

Parking? Paid with an app (that charge my credit card).

Paying a friend or my kids for something? Done via the Swift app (instant bank to bank account transfer).

Buying veggies at the outdoor market? That guy will accept credit cards via a regular terminal or a phone with something like iZettle. Or perhaps even accept a Swift transfer to his phone.

Regular shopping, credit cards. At the corner tobacconist you may find an old and slow dialup-based terminal, but they are rare. Most terminals are online and operate at decent speed.

I'm sure there are cash-only businesses, but I'm not in the market for illegal drugs or no-receipt-handymans. :)
It probably has been solved. Generally speaking, minimums are against the agreements the stores have with credit card processors. But the stores use minimums anyway.

Yeah, well, the OP might have screwed it up, or K might have successfully backstabbed the OP.

Offering the back end team one's own team members is a selfless act. I'll wager it's not the only way that the OP has demonstrated a commitment to the success of the project. A healthy organization recognizes such a commitment and rewards it with increased influence at the very least (ideally, with increased compensation as well).

This is not a healthy organization, and the OP can't fix it. It's time to leave.

I think if you want to become a CEO you have to first (critically!) a) figure out what makes a successful culture and then b) become a person who enjoys and thrives in that kind of culture.

I don’t know if I see this as much value add. Finding out what makes a successful culture doesn’t seem trivial, much less easily repeatable. Different cultures can succeed in different circumstances and many different types of cultures can succeed. I also believe cultures evolve more than they are created. To me your argument sounds like saying “to succeed in starting a business you need to figure out what it takes to make a successful business and become a person who thrives doing that.” Working at Google is no more likely to teach you how to start a business than to create a culture. Sure you can learn things that worked there, but only some will work for you and some will likely work against you. The best I’d say you can do is recognize culture is important, try to learn what decisions leadership can make that affect culture, and understand how those decisions impact the business both short and long term. There’s no magic formula for business or for culture.
The problem is our politicians have a nasty habit of overplaying their hand on every. single. "scandal." It starts to sound like the boy who cried wolf. Every time a new one pops up, it's hard to tell whether it is of substance or just another game of political football. It makes sense that after two decades of attacks on their name, the public is a little more hesitant to be riled up.
