Of course, this is just "a couple minutes of google research"--I am not a subject matter expert, as someone on HN kindly pointed out last time I posted these here. Also, they are based on self-reported surveys and don't include sellable equity, so take it with a grain of salt. I don't know where better data would be published. I'm intuitively not too surprised by these figures--I think the HN demographic is probably pretty skewed towards the higher end, judging by all those threads where people toss around $150K and $200K salaries as "normal".

I use preprocessor macros for what I guess I'll call "hyper-local extraction" in an attempt to be as DRY as possible. I don't know how modern C++ would handle this better. It looks a bit like this:

#define a_ frob(-1,0,0); grob("a"); blah(...);
#define b_ frob(1,0,0); grob("b"); blah(...);
#define c_ frob(0,-1,0); grob("c"); blah(...);
#define d_ frob(0,-1,1); grob("d"); blah(...);
#define e_ frob(0,0,-1); grob("e"); blah(...);
#define f_ frob(0,1,1); grob("f"); blah(...);

if (normal_order) {
a_ b_ c_ d_ e_ f_;
c_ b_ a_ f_ e_ d_;
} else if (special_order_1) {
b_ c_ d_ e_ a_;
d_ e_ c_ b_ a_ f_;
} else if (...) {
// ... and so on ...

So I'm looking at the StankWag article, which was one of the articles you tried to delete, and I'm 100% sure the internet is a better place for it existing. What is the problem? It's well research and meticulously linked (no doubt to defend it against deletionists like yourself). Who is being misled or confused by bad info?

> People really want to have Wikipedia articles about themselves and their companies.

What is so bad about people wanting to have a wikipedia page filled with true facts about themselves?

>I think you're wrong about the asymmetry, by the way. Just go to the AfD debate logs: you'll get more now-deleted non-notable subjects than you can possibly read in night, or several nights.

First, I have no doubt the info is recorded somewhere, but it's not easily accessible. But more importantly, as I hinted, the bigger problem is the articles that were never written because folk know they would be deleted.

> I leave you with this thought: it is possible that Wikipedia has more words of coverage for "StankDawg" than it does for the chinese remainder theorem.

I don't get the connection. People who are prevented from editing StankDawg won't decide to edit the chinese remainder theorem. Likewise, the fact that reality TV is more popular than Shakespeare may be a sad indicator for the world, but the solution isn't to ban reality TV.

Sorry for the psychoanalysis, but I'm listening to your tone and reading your wiki page...and I think it just irks you that these people get recognition. But we don't need wikipedia to tell us who and what is important in the world. It's just a source of information.

If I told you that there was magical AI software that now automatically patrolled articles and got rid of wrong info reliably, would you suddenly change your stance on deletionism?
Don't buy cheap crap off ebay or amazon and plug into your laptop if you care about it. It was always so for chargers, now it's cables as well.

You had no internet access in the park, I assume. And even then, a large part of that effort was the executive decision to go to the park and stay there.

The point of this app, from what I can tell, is to take away the need to exert executive function to remain typing. The computer focuses for you, by operant-conditioning you to focus.

If you have enough executive function to get you over the initial hump of getting-into-flow by just pre-emptively taking away distractions, then by all means, do whatever you like to write. Take a notebook to a cafe. Use a typewriter in your garage. Take a tablet and a bluetooth keyboard on a long flight.

But if you viscerally resist the idea of starting, whether due to a lack of motivation or a strong feeling of perfectionistic anxiety or whatever else—this app (and other similar apps) can help you overcome that. Especially if you set it up in advance so it opens up at a scheduled time with your work from last time already loaded into it. You've got to start, or you'll lose something important. Once you've started, and you're in flow, the app's "game mechanic" isn't all that important—but the point is to use something, anything, to get you over that hump when you can't do it yourself.
Your wild speculation started earlier than your last line.

> Financial incentives — including stock options, restricted stock and pensions — are other ways that companies have tried to tie employees to their firms.

I've found vesting periods to be prohibitive enough that I don't even consider these things when negotiating employment.

Also, I'd add that job-hopping (what I'd define as working somewhere less than 12-24 months) seems to have been de-stigmatized – at least in larger tech hubs.
This modification would require having iOS source to modify, which certainly the FBI does not have.

And even if they did, it would take them months from receiving the source code to be even remotely prepared to do a custom iOS build to present to Apple to be signed. Domain expertise, familiarity with a code base, and just "simple" stuff like build/release engineering and QA aren't things you put together overnight.

I worked with a waitress , whom died from a bad tooth . She wasn't able to receive care due to being working poor. I was thinking just today our system of health care is a regressive tax on the poor. a single payer system would be progressive taxation for the wealthy , if they needed extra value medical services , big deal they could afford it . They could afford to go to walled gardens ; for exclusive care. I shouldn't be to harsh , after all they support the Luxury economy !

You're doing it wrong if you read scientific debates as a question of just deciding who to root for.

In this case most on either side of this debate are going to be on the side of climate science. The question isn't where our climate is going in the 21st century. It is what methods we use to determine what climate was probably like 5 million years ago. And in particular whether a particular closed and poorly audited data set is acceptable to use to produce answers.

I was a little surprised by it too. The new "smart" power meters that are starting to be installed by power companies deliver hourly power use data to the power company for a variety of reasons.

Parts of California US has a moratorium on these smart meters for "health and privacy" reasons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_meter#California

I though you could write a good mystery that could be solved using a power monitoring system... But alas I am not a writer.

Completely agree. Though there was one situation where I found everyone had stopped on the freeway and I kept going to an exit. Had I known why they had stopped, I probably would have stopped and gotten out of my car, too. Driving through a massive thunderstorm beside dozens of semi trucks, and all of them suddenly stop all at the same time. I keep going and get to a gas station because being trapped between all these completely stopped trucks made me very nervous. When I got to the gas station, I heard the attendant say that Amtrak had stopped too because of all the tornados blowing through the immediate area.

Yikes.

Nitpick: The bus is more dangerous because it has more momentum (m • v), not necessarily more force.
Awesome, thank you! Yeah, the Deepness series isn't near future really, but it's one of my favorites and ends up being referenced all the time on HN.
I don't think they were saying it introduced "foreignness" but rather the sci fi/political concepts it covers. It feels slow and clunky because none of those concepts need introducing any more, they could just go unmentioned and be assumed - that is, I think, the Seinfeld effect.

> Benson Leung, a Google engineer, and Dieter Bohn, executive editor at The Verge, wound up frying their notebooks after plugging in USB cables they bought at Amazon. Leung's laptop, a Chromebook Pixel, wouldn't boot afterward. Bohn told me his notebook, a MacBook Air, no longer has working USB ports.
Yeah, and who needs USB on a MacBook?

Seriously though, why would you assume this? The article doesn't state it - it gives examples of both devices being damaged in different ways, but cites only Dell as actually designing their hardware to tolerate bad cabling.

Perhaps Apple has built in some mechanism to protect the rest of the circuitry from a USB failure, but without further information it's more reasonable to assume that the MacBook owner just got (comparatively) lucky here.

Years ago, I shorted out a USB port on a desktop PC, with the same results - system booted and worked just fine, except the USB port was dead. Upon opening the box, I found a popped cap and some scorching on the motherboard; I'd be... reluctant to call this a well-designed failure mode.

Even if you ignore the fact that your capital is at risk (or do you think house prices never drop?) you also forget the opportunity cost of all that money sunk into the down payment.

I own property and only a fraction of what I pay each month goes to reduce loan principal. By this logic everything else I pay is "lit on fire". This is ridiculous logic. It buys me a place to live.

It also turns out that when I buy and eat a pizza, I built no equity either. Did I just light money on fire?
> Are there any added protections here against high turnover in infancy-stage startups?

It is already the case that employee option agreements don't start dispersing options until at least one year. Two for some.

This isn't about changing who deserves to get options, it's about making sure those who get them are likely to get actual the value from them.
While I'd love to throw poop at Microsoft, I think this is correct. If someone had to create an operating system that accepted GNU/Linux binaries without the benefit of looking at internal communication or the source code, I bet it would take many years as well.

Best quote from the ruling:

"As far as I can discern from the record, Feng did not at any time 'rent, lend, lease, sell, redistribute or sublicense' Apple's software; what he did 'sell' or 'redistribute' was methamphetamine - a course of conduct in which Apple was not involved."
It may show that the process "works" (never mind how much it sucked for the actual humans threatened by the law while it was in place), but it still weakens the argument about the intent of the founding fathers.

I agree with all your points. Maybe Thomas' "repeat yourself" suggestion makes Twitter more like 24-hour news. If you don't have the interest or resources to run your own brand channel, just follow as you watch TV? If you do, go for it.
The thing is that location 'signatures' can be created from many types of sensors, as long as they're able to record an environmental factor that is discriminable on a position. It's not important that the signature is very accurate in itself, only that enough independent signatures can be combined together to make one accurate estimate.
That's rough. $1B sure feels like a point where a company has graduated from infancy/childhood to being able to handle some turnover. Having said that, valuations a year ago were pretty crazy so maybe they really weren't.

I have to say that's a heck of a lot of dilution, too. 200x growth in valuation vs. only 25x in your stake? What's that, over 85% dilution?? Sounds like that juicy unicorn valuation was only achieved by a lot of fundraising rounds under presumably not awesome terms. Not that that makes you feel any better.

I'm thinking there should be some kind of extra incentive for early stage teams to stick together, but with a more explicit maturity point. It used to be IPO/acquisition. Now that IPO is often farther off there should probably be some other metrics. What are they? Valuation? Number of employees? Length of employment? Revenues? Some combination?
Filtering packets that don't match a criteria (such as a destination port) is done by a firewall, in addition to the NAT. These are typically used together, such as in the "full-cone" situation you described.

Yes, I'm making a pedantic argument about terminology, but it's an important one because IPv6 means we can remove just the NAT part - all of the other filtering/etc features can remain. The goal is to make all devices addressable globally[1], which some people assume is a change in security. That isn't a correct assumption, as an IPv6 router (with a stateful firewall) should drop the same types of packets as their current IPv4-with-NAT router.

[1] NAT badly damages the network by imposing an imprimatur[2] on the hosts behind the NAT.

Ugh. I am not an aggressive driver by any means, but I hate passive drivers. Near my house there is a grocery store with a three way intersection. Entering traffic has right of way to turn left or right without stopping (there literally is no stop sign). Traffic going straight through has to stop.

All the time I'm sitting there at a stop when someone pulls up and stops with no stop sign, then honks and waves at me to go on. No. I have a stop sign. You don't. I am not going. The last thing I need is to get half way through the intersection and you plow into me and claim I ran a stop sign.

No. Follow the damn law. If you stop first, you go first. If I have a stop sign and you don't, you go. If we stop at the same time, the person on the right goes first. It's the fucking law. If you can't figure it out, go back to driving school. Don't wave me on, because the cop and the insurance company don't take much stock in "waves". They expect people to follow the damn law.

It's not defensive driving. It's dangerous.

Hey Chris, thanks for checking it out.

The way I see it, the fact that our programming tools operate on huge character sequences is historical accident. Rather than coming up with a particular editor, I'm trying to think of what a more 'correct' structure for representing programs in general would be, as a replacement for character sequences.

Of course this is essentially suggesting a paradigm shift, and as you say (approximately), the current paradigm has lots of momentum.

It feels like this might be closer to describing planetary orbits with the more natural ellipses rather than circles—but maybe I'm just suggesting triangles or something :)
That is a bold promise that they will have to break at some point. Everything is ephemeral in this world, especially applications on internet.

There is one thing they could have done: commit an amount on money in an official bank account, or with a contract, etc... that will serve as the back up plan to keep the content online if only they were to shut down.

Keeping static text online is actually pretty cheap.

But then if you want your content down one day you would have to have some sort of dynamic back end, maybe even a support if a bug comes around, etc... Another problem.
Considering that people have been complaining about Windows lock-in for 2 decades, I can't really see the point. Chasing Windows compatibility is not the answer. Getting software to run on other platforms and reducing Windows dominance is more important. Make it easy for people to switch platforms so companies need to listen to consumers.

The X-macro pattern comes to mind:

#define LIST_ERROR_TYPES(X) \
X(OK, "") \
X(ERR_OOM, "out of memory") \
X(ERR_BAD_STRING_ENCODING, "string was invalid utf-8") \
...

#define DEF_ENUM(ident,_) ident,
typedef enum { LIST_ERROR_TYPES(DEF_ENUM) } err_t;

const char *get_err_msg(err_t err) {
#define IDENT2MSG(ident,msg) case ident: return msg;
switch (err) {
LIST_ERROR_TYPES(IDENT2MSG)
default: return "unknown error";
}
}

Which turns out to be useful for more than just error messages (which is still useful in C++ if you're avoiding exceptions). Recently, for example, I did something like that to map a small fixed set of object properties to database columns.

The first film was directed by Mamoru Oshii. If you watch more of the films he's worked on, it stops seeming out of place in the GitS canon and starts feeling like another Oshii film.

>Oshii has stated his approach to directing is in direct contrast to what he perceives to be the Hollywood formula, i.e. he regards the visuals as the most important aspect, followed by the story and the characters come last. He also notes that his main motivation in making films is to "create worlds different from our own."

>Mamoru Oshii's films typically open with an action sequence. Thereafter, the film usually follows a much slower rhythm punctuated by several sequences of fast action...

>Oshii is especially noted for how he significantly strays from the source material his films are based on, notably in his adaptations of Urusei Yatsura, Patlabor, and Ghost in the Shell. In their original manga versions, these three titles exhibited a mood that was more along the lines of frantic slapstick comedy (Urusei Yatsura) or convivial dramedy (Patlabor, Ghost in the Shell). Oshii, in adapting the works created a slower, more dark atmosphere especially noticeable in Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer and Patlabor 2: The Movie. For the Ghost in the Shell movie, Oshii elected to leave out the humor and character banter of Masamune Shirow's original manga.
