Retro on the Julia Programming Language
i just mean that in larger companies, sometimes the negotation/etc will happen through a sourcer/recruiter in their HR department rather than directly w the hiring manager. in such cases, the recruiter will act as the messenger between you and the hiring manager basically.

this is the way things usually go (curious to know how much this jives with other people's experience):

- first step is they decide they'd like to hire you. ie, the "we'd like to go ahead and bring you on board / make you an offer." this is verbal, or sometimes via email. it is typical for them give a specific number at this time (edit: actually, i'd say this is pretty much what a 'job offer' is). you might or might not have discussed salary prior to this, but when they want to hire you, they will almost always start out with an explicit figure (it will be lower than you want 99% of the time).

- then, the salary negotation begins. eventually, after some back-and-forth (which can happen either in a single phone call, or can stretch out over weeks), both parties finally agree on a specific number for the salary, along with other aspects of the comp package including signing bonus, RSU payout/schedule, and other things like time off, etc etc. this all happens verbally normally.

- only when a salary/comp is agreed upon, would they send you a written offer letter -- this is usually done as a PDF emailed to you. until this happens, keep up the job hunt.

decide where you are in the above flow (if at all). if they have not uttered a specific, singular figure (and i suggest you let them do that first, no matter the circumstance -- but that's a different discussion), then the interview process is still going imo, and it might be worth a follow-up at some point, use your best judgment.
URGENT: Further Fate of PlatformIO Project… Part II
Thank you! I didn't know there was a sequel. I really enjoyed the first book.
I do wonder if having two garbage-collected runtimes in the same address space will lead to pathological performance and/or memory usage. But I don't have any solid data on that. Of course, if that is a problem, then it also applies to React Native on Android, but there, it's unavoidable.
That particular statistic is used for effect, and the article admits it's not the biggest problem:

> While big paychecks for those in UC's senior management group — including the president, the chancellors and other top administrators — attract the most attention, they comprise less than 1% of the $27-billion budget, officials say.

> It is the next layer of well-paid administrators that has grown most significantly over the last two decades. From 2004 to 2014, the management and senior professionals ranks swelled by 60%, to about 10,000, UC data show.

There are indirectly related tidbits all over the article and I couldn't find what I'd really like to see: a histogram of administration salaries and another of faculty salaries.

Anyway, here's another unrelated but interesting tidbit from that article:

> Efficiency experts brought in to assess the UC Berkeley bureaucracy a few years ago concluded it was top-heavy. Bain & Co. consultants tallied 11 layers of management between the chancellor and front-line employees, suggesting that the organization had too many bosses. More than half of all managers — about 1,000 — had three or fewer direct reports, and 471 were in charge of exactly one person each.

Isn't it funny that they had to hire top-dollar big-name consultants to find out they have way too many middle managers ... some of these managers should have the time to figure out how many layers of management there are and how silly some of them are. But then again, of course they didn't: more managers results in more politics results in less effective management.
"mortgage interest deductions have a similarly terrible effect on housing...

No.

Scarcity caused by NIMBY land use policy is driving up housing costs. The fix is aggressive upzoning.

Source: Help friends who work on affordable housing policy. This is common knowledge."

Genuine question - do you mean for this to apply to municipalities that are not San Fransisco? While downtowns are getting more dense across the U.S., not every city is quite so opposed to new construction. San Fransisco is a weird corner-case in terms of housing.
Sounds like someone at NASA read The Martian...
Well, if they voted out Erdogan that would help.
The whole point of the canary sub-population, though is that 1) It's not your whole population. 2) You want to find out empirically if something's wrong.
> I don't see any particular reason why workers in the US are more entitled to good jobs than workers in other countries.

They aren't. But the primary concern of U.S. government policy should be the well-being of U.S. citizens. Otherwise why have a country?

In the same vein: citizens of other countries are just as entitled to health care as U.S. citizens. That doesn't mean the U.S. government should expand Medicaid/Medicare to non-citizens.

Definitely recommend externalizing your strings into one of the standard localization file formats (.po, .strings, XLIFF etc.) as mtmail suggested.

Once your content is in a file, you'll be able to use a platform like Transifex (disclosure: I work there) to manage and automate your localization process. You'll be able to invite your translators, track the progress of work, and communicate directly with them. Once the translations are done, you can get the translated files via the web UI, API, or command-line tool and use them in your apps.

Most of our customers are software companies and use Transifex to make localization manageable even with daily or weekly releases. We have a case study of Eventbrite on our site at https://www.transifex.com/customers/casestudies/eventbrite/. Disqus also talked about how they use Transifex at a conference a few years back: http://confreaks.tv/videos/kodio_2014-continuous-translation....

Hope that helps!
Though I agree with you that IPv6 will be a boon to P2P networking, your statement is mostly incorrect. STUN can penetrate the most common types of NAT including full-cone, restricted-cone and port-restricted-cone[1]. As the other comments note, TURN can almost always get the job done with other NAT configurations.

The WebRTC API is actually surprisingly robust. It was built with these limitations in mind, so client code can supply a list of STUN and TURN servers, which the ICE framework underpinning WebRTC uses in the order they were supplied. So if setup correctly, WebRTC clients can use TURN as a backup when STUN isn't enough.

tl;dr: That article is severely misrepresenting various realities.

German here:

The dude didn't do satire. He straight-up went on a tirade of insults against Erdogan in a way that contained literally zero satire (i.e. criticism by exaggeration), and was found funny by approximately nobody.

He even declared he knew that what he was doing is illegal but he isn't actually doing it and only reading the "poem" as an "example".

It is obvious to basically everyone here that what he did was roughly equivalent to saying:

"I know it is illegal to call for all people with black skin to be murdered, for example with a speech that would roughly go like this: <insert 5 minutes of hate speech calling for the aforementioned> But what i did is different, see, since this is only an example!"

There are very few germans who're actually opposed to having Böhmermann be hit with the full legal force, since:

Our very first law states that the human dignity shall be inviolable. This means insulting someone without actually engaging in satire can be countered with a law suit, usually punishable with fines. Insulting a high-ranking foreigner representing their nation elevates the punishment to possibly a few years of jail, since suddenly that person is playing with the fate of the rest of Germany while also violating a person's dignity.
LLCs in particular are a creature of state statute, and are disregarded at both state and federal levels for tax purposes. In other words, they provide the liability protection of a separate entity without paying their own taxes; the underlying tax personality(ies) of an LLC is (are) their owner(s).

All this to say, an LLC is in no way required in order to deduct lunch with one's friends. :-) One can do that with a sole proprietorship that has no registered entity or other formal dimensions, effectively immediately. Business expenses can be deducted on the 1040 Schedule C, and anyone who considers themselves to have expenses related to self-employment may avail themselves of that.

Obviously, it would be wise to ensure that your business is a legitimate going concern and is in pursuit of revenue and profit. The IRS is not fond of businesses, LLC or not, whose sole raison d'être is to serve as a vehicle for business deductions. :-)
"Just some of their tests, not all of them"

As of now, the -only- test they are allowed to perform is for HPV, by traditional methods.

The FDA has "concerns" about every other test they offer or have offered.
A stroke or heart attack while driving has (possibly) nationwide or worldwide reach? I somehow don't think you understand what I'm getting at.

A "Perfect Storm" of bugs could cause a systemic failure that has the possibility to affect all cars everywhere (well, probably limited to a single car-maker / model / etc). This has the possibility to affect millions. Claiming that a stroke or heart attack while driving has the possibility of a similar scope / reach doesn't make sense.
They hijacked the way you open files now and from what I can see reading through release notes and commits there's no way of opening a file permanently without double clicking.

With preview mode enabled I have to dbl click the tab and with it disabled I have to dbl click the file name. It would be nice if opening a file had regular single click functionality when preview mode was disabled. Or maybe another setting for this in the config.cson file.

It seems like a trivial thing to complain about but it's usually the small things like this that are the most annoying (for me at least).
By low interest rates, do you mean Federal Funds, or the bond market?

My impression is that mortgage rates tend to track the 10 year bond rate, given most people refi/sell before then. These and long term rates have been on a multi-decade decline. I'm not sure how much influence recent policy has had.
>having contributed essentially some whiteboarding and finding an office

reminded about that story of a guy painting a wall at a startup here around 10 years ago. Though the equity in that case was done in writing.

In the case of Cruise, without even going into detailed merits of the case - there are lawyers and judges for that after all - i think Cruise has simple question - go for less than 100% of $1B or go for the whole 100% of nothing. Do they honestly think that their half-baked system - at best practically equivalent to the system of an average Grand Challenge team 10 years ago - is really worth $1B? They got lucky that GM is that stupid, desperate and rich. Greed can scare easily that luck away.
It's interesting that this is from 2009 -- even in 2009 it was trivial to sit at public wifi points or plugged into corporate networks and grab credentials as they went over the air/wire unencrypted -- even more so then since at the time the public hadn't yet caught on and SSL was more rare on sites/services than it is today, and since not everyone yet had a smartphone in their pocket with highspeed net access.

In my opinion, implementing SSL is really more about preventing mass capturing (and later forging) user identities/credentials than it is about trying to create either perfect security or preventing an attack on a server.
It might have been wise for Sam just to sit and wait for other people to play this situation out.

He's a young guy and whilst I am sure very clever, probably has wisdom to gain.

One of the hardest things to learn is "how to do nothing".

I'm guessing the lesson for him coming out of this will be to not risk his reputation for wise leadership trying to intervene in someone else's battle. If you suspect something is going to get legal then it really makes sense to sit on your hands even though it is tempting to speak out.

Rallying support for a participant in a fight..... well it just doesn't look good.

It would be easy to read this post and think "Rich young influential Silicon Valley powerbroker wielding his power to force someone to give up their claim, so that he may cash in on a deal." I'm guessing that's not the way Sam wants to be seen.

Being caught up with the prerequisites is a huge issue. If someone is weak in arithmetic, they'll struggle with algebra. If weak in algebra, they'll struggle in calculus.

If they learned by "guess and try," they'll simply hit a wall when problems cease to have a number as an answer.

Hitler Uses Docker [Must Watch VIDEO]
The Curse of Insecurities
This has the potential to derail the merger, not just delay it, and would explain Jeremy's position.

The reason is that any acquirer will ask for the consent of a very high threshold of shareholders for an acquisition. We're talking sometimes as high as 95% of shareholders. Note that this is not people with options, but those who are actual shareholders. In practice, this isn't a problem because usually you have the shareholders generally lined up before you start the process of sale. And you also have drag-along provisions in the various stock agreements where the stock holder agrees to vote with the majority of holders of that class of stock, so large holders can pretty much make a merger happen if they wish.

In this case, Jeremy can claim that he is owed a huge percentage of the equity. Because there are no written agreements where his rights to the equity lapse, regardless of how long he worked, that putative equity is his. And in that case, more than enough for him to veto the merger.

Tough spot for Kyle to be in, but I'm shocked with his prior startup experience that he didn't get this resolved earlier. It would have been easy to have something be written up and signed for next to nothing right as Jeremy left.

I sympathize with Sam and Kyle over this, but unfortunately the legal world is an alternative universe, and they need Jeremy to close the deal.
VR and AR is overhyped.
Out of curiosity, do you know if they've changed how they distribute their keys?

This seems like a perfect candidate for something like CloudFlare's Keyless SSL, but I'm not aware of any ircds having support for something like that.
I'm a cofounder of a YC company. This June will be the sixth anniversary of when we did YC, and our company isn't exactly a billion-dollar darling (to put it mildly). Nor do we have any interest in going public or being acquired, so the odds of YC seeing any sort of financial return from us are slim.

Nevertheless, we commonly get email responses from YC partners (including Sam) inside of five minutes, and I've met and gotten helpful advice when we needed help from six partners (including Sam) in just the past year or so.

YC doesn't only help the huge successes: They also do a tremendous amount to help tiny companies, and even if they're still tiny many years after YC.

Browsers also used to allow you to simply override invalid SSL certificates. Over time, it became more difficult and finally it is not even possible anymore when the server sent HSTS headers before.

The current draft for IRCv3.3 of the IRCv3 working group already has a draft for Strict Transport Security, see http://ircv3.net/specs/core/sts-3.3.html

We need the same culture shift in IRC clients that took place in browsers. Every IRC client should take certificate validation serious and do it properly. For that to happen, we need more SSL-enabled IRC servers and users that want to use it.
Ok so this is completely wrong. Both FreeBSD and the entire Family of OpenSolaris derivatives offer:

- Superior "container" support to Linux (more secure, better tested, better designed, not a hacky bolted on thing like Cgroups.)

- Their source code, they are Open Source

Or did you actually just mean to say "Only Linux has Docker"?

Unless you tell someone your OS and hardware, it's really not helpful for people to decide, or even address the problems.

Does Atom use a lot of ram or cpu? I've got a 2 year old Mac Book Pro with 16 GB RAM and an SSD. I downloaded Atom 1.6 after the announcement and leave it open to maintain my notes and I haven't noticed any performance problems with a couple dozen files. I might try to use it for another project once I evaluate the plugins.
Bonus points for spotting mechanisms of avoidance of these controls - e.g. the use of subcontractors and relocated companies.
you are saying that a large collection of self-reported anecdotes more correctly describes a population than a study; we say "you're wrong," and there is plenty of statistical evidence that proves you are wrong, but of course you don't believe in statistical evidence, instead you'll tell me that you can think of ways you could be right and you can remember some times when you were right and some times when your family members were right.

I'm exaggerating of course, but I think that sums up the discussion here?
Google Chrome Has Dropped Support for Windows XP, Vista, and Mac OS X 10.6-10.8
> Visual Studio Professional and Visual Studio Enterprise

I'd argue this is more akin to WiFi vs 3G models. They're the exact same product with different featuresets. If you were to go for the VS analogy, a new Kindle product is more akin to VS Code vs VS; they're literally different products under the same umbrella brand.

> EA brings us FIFA 2016

This is quite literally the newest generation Paperwhite vs the older Paperwhites; that is, a new version of the same product. In the EA analogy, the difference between the two is like the difference between FIFA 2016 and NHL 16. They're both "EA Sports" games, but they're clearly different from eachother, with different target audiences.

Another analogy is that this is an iPad Mini, which is very clearly distinct from the iPad Air or the iPad Pro. They're all different products, none of them are successors to the others, they're all priced differently, and they're meant for different audiences. Nobody would honestly stand up and say that they're the same, or an "incremental improvement" because it's clear they're not. This is pretty much the exact same thing.

I don't understand how you don't see these as different products. They're literally (http://i.imgur.com/hnV8E0x.png) being sold as different products side by side. If you were to argue it's a successor, then the existing Paperwhite would surely not be there, having been replaced with the Oasis (along with the other products, by your line of reasoning), and it would surely not be sold for almost 200 dollars more than the Paperwhite, either.
It would appear so. It was dead earlier, but I imagine some mod or something revived him :)
What are you talking about 'hypotheticals'?

I'm asking that data be consulted to test whether the assumptions and assertions being made are accurate.

As to the rest of your comment, they're words, grammatically correct. But they make zero sense, both in context of this discussion, and in the sequence you've presented them.

The "sun rising" isn't real, it's an artifact of the rotation of the earth.

And the 'what if' of it not occurring isn't 'real' because all historical evidence shows that your hypothetical of the sun 'not rising' on April 14, 2016 has virtually zero chance of occurring.
