> It's a lot more than the VCs do? By giving you the millions to hire a staff, get an office, etc for years?

Yes. Writing a check and occasionally shooting off an introductory email has its uses but it shouldn't be compared to actually building a billion-dollar product. Many founders need VC money and VCs certainly deserve some type of compensation. It's quite dubious, however, that VCs deserve double-digit equity (and often 50% of the company or more) just because they had money at a time when someone else didn't, and allowed themselves to be talked into giving that money to someone who was able to do something good with it (which, in VC, is essentially an accident; they are throwing money at college kids and seeing what, if anything, ends up sticking).

>Working on something for a month absolutely doesn't entitle you to a share of the proceeds two or three years down the road, if there was no written or verbal agreement.

If you leave the equity split undefined, it's undefined, not 0.

We don't know what was done in that 1 month time frame. It's possible that Jeremy laid out an entire roadmap from concept to acquisition that Cruise followed meticulously. If this is the case, he is certainly entitled to a significant amount of equity.

Perhaps in that one month, Jeremy did nothing but take up space in the office and perhaps he was dismissed for his uselessness. Under such circumstances, supposing there is reasonable documentation of this, he's probably entitled to little or no equity. The judiciary will have to consider the evidence and make a ruling as to what is equitable.

>Even if he had options, he would have had to exercise them years ago at most companies.

Obviously I can't say much as most is hearsay (though I do believe what I've heard), but the one part of this story that irks me the most is that this all started when Jeremy (allegedly) drunk at a party, bragged to Cruise's counsel that he could stall the GM deal if he really wanted to. Can't believe its actually come to this.

I feel for the engineers there. All their hard work, and likely they will have to lose a large portion of their shares due to indemnity clawbacks when the deal goes through.

I will defer to other people's judgments on your clarified question -- I am extremely biased towards Austin (I have lived there before and have very fond memories of the city).

I will, however, reframe the question and provide a related answer. Visit each place, and figure out which one you enjoy spending time in. Specifically, which place has people you really like to spend time with. As I suggested above, I'm an Austin fan, and it's not even close. YMMV.

Once you've narrowed down a place, then you can focus on a job. "Project management" is a very broad category, so finding something that fits it shouldn't be that difficult.

That said, if you're implying something (e.g., you want to be a PM for BigCorp or BigBank with job attributes X, Y, and Z), then maybe the place will matter. Personally, I think that's at best premature optimization or at worst the wrong focus.

Best of luck... please keep us updated.

I don't know about UC, but it's my understanding that in many universities, the football programs pay for themselves and then some.

As for the investment officers, someone has to manage the universities' endowments. Certainly, they could just liquidate their endowments and spend it immediately on, say, urgent needs and tuition reduction. But then when they need to, e.g., renovate a dorm, they will lack the money to do so.

Payoneer:Best International Online Payment Processor -Review – InfoTechSite
Generics are not "all the things". Last i checked there was still no object inheritance (in a subtype sense for interface implementations), no operator overloading, no bytecode/vm/jit, no inline asm, no macros, no pluggable gc, no call/cc, no (idiomatic) exceptions, no currying, no weak typing or implicit conversions, no way of enforcing referential transparency, no STM, no laziness, no assertions, no contracts, no untagged unions, no algebraic data types, no covariant return types, no pattern matching, no method overloading, no simd, no decorations/annotations.... I am sure i missed a lot.

EDIT: of course this is good; such a language would be beyond nightmarish. By which i mean c++ or scala.

No real confusion about the Torah, I was also only referring to the pentateuch as well. The talmud does however discuss who wrote each of the later texts.

> the cohesive narrative of Moses authoring the pentateuch
There is a disagreement in the Talmud about this point.

When you say you read talmud, have you ever studied it in a Yeshiva, while learning the commentary, or just read an english translation of part of it?

I think the point that seems to be lost in this discussion is the following.
Picture a conversation on reddit like this...
redditor1: my opinion is the truth.
redditor2: source?
redditor1: here is the link
redditor2: but three years ago you said this competing theory.
redditor3: those opinions are consistent because of differing circumstances...
redditor4: what this other thing he said that is the same circumstances as the old post but supports the new one.
redditor3: I guess i was wrong. I am stumped.
redditor4: it makes sense because if you look at the sentence structure, they are really the same thing said in two different ways.

Now imagine a conversation like that trying to determine the veracity of every single word in the Torah, every single law and theory mentioned in the talmud and mishna, etc...

Studying the talmud is not some text some guy wrote down. It is an intense and deep analysis that considers math, physics, science,logic, language analysis, etc... all with the goal of finding the truth about the torah and mishna...not to support a theory about G-d giving over the Torah to Moses who than transcribed most of it.

What I am trying to say is that while I don't know the relevant discussions around the pentateuch authorship other than the link I shared earlier from Ohr.com ... These scholars who analyzed the text to determine if there were multiple authors, etc... really need to look at the explanations in the talmud for why one sentence is written one way and another is written another way...

It seems intellectually dishonest to me to analyze these things without consulting the talmudic experts who have studying the relevant sections...As there might be discussion and context that is very relevant.

From the post:

> As Russ pointed out, generics are a trade off between programmer time, compilation time, and execution time

This misses the most important metric: quality. Lack of generics forces copying and pasting of code which inevitably lowers quality and increases defects. It's amazing to me that with the all the expense that crappy software causes, we're more focused on compilation and execution time. Last time I checked Golang's performance numbers, the supposed benefits of this focus were not present while the downsides of being a language that forces programmers to do the wrong thing were present as well.

> It's also at odds with hard-learned lessons of the rest of the software industry, like don't repeat yourself.

There is nothing wrong with repeating things. It's important to NOT repeat many things but everything? No way. DRY is a great suggestion but shouldn't be looked at as any type of hard rule.

For instance I've been on projects where DRY was taken to such an extreme that even the function decorators (plus their COMMENTS) were abstracted away because a few words or, at least, a single line could be duplicated. This would require looking through multiple files and figuring out the abstraction code just so I would know where the REST endpoints where.

So I'm not the biggest fan of GO but I see zero reason why it's going to be relearning this specific lesson.
Professors already make less in academia than they would typically make in the industry. I don't think the best of them would stick around if they were handed a 20% pay cut.

Similarly for administrators and coaches, meaningful pay cuts would just push many of them out the door to greener pastures.

The cure for high tuition is unlikely to come just from cutting salaries.
but you would still have to be executing the file as code before knowing what it will require

But it often does not. Even in your example, your family hasn't actually stopped eating chicken. So it really only proves my point. People continue to cling to their dissonance.

I actually have neighbors who treat their chickens like pets for several years then give them to someone to slaughter. They don't eat them but they're fine with other people eating them and they're fine with eating other chickens.

Product Hunt should be named Project Hunt
I have been following product hunt from the last few months actively. I see a lot of products which are not worthy of being called a product. Majority of them are a side projects that people can work on or a company can work on.
I dont understand why people claim a side project as a product. ProductHunt in my mind is no more than a ProjectHunt.
I think a few visits to a therapist may help you discover more about yourself. (Though I do think some people associate 'going to therapy' as 'having problems', I see it also just as a resource for guiding introspection. There probably is not any "problem" you need to "fix"... it can just be a way to discover yourself.)

In your case, topics like emotional attachment style come to mind. Some people just grow up learning to condition their emotions become more numb... though in some cases it also becomes harder to become excited about things.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attachment_theory#Anxious-avoi...

This is not to say that this is how you are... since it's not like I actually know you or your childhood, etc. But this is certainly a topic that I'm reminded of when I hear your example, and something like therapy can be an interesting way to dive into this.
And you'll never experience what it's like to infodump about a special interest to someone who shares it, or the joys of stimming. Oh, and if you're lucky like I am, a reading speed of 1,000-2,500 words per minute easy, and sometimes a lot more. Social situations can be navigated by conscious training, as can emotion recognition and acting sympathetically.

My life isn't worse, just different. I meet friends online, including lovers. I like being who I am, and don't want to be someone else. Granted, I'm the good outcome: there are a lot of bad outcomes associated with autism at the severe end, and everyone would like to see those stop happening. But the big problems for a lot of people are social acceptance and low expectations.

> DRY is a great suggestion but shouldn't be looked at as any type of hard rule

Agree that nothing should be a hard and fast rule. But the significance of DRY is that it increases quality. Not even having the option to "stay DRY" for many problems implemented in Golang will increase bugs. That's just how it is.

Given the tradeoff between the supposed complexity of generics and the very real cost of bugs that will happen from maintaining duplicated code, I'm not sure there's much of a debate to be had.

Oculus appears to be behind in hardware (room scale), software (fewer real VR games), and shipping date.

I don't think they will disappear because VR is obviously part of the future. But I wonder when they will be able to turn a profit. Vive and Valve have the upper hand and it seems like exclusivity agreements would only hurt Oculus at this point.

What innovations could the Rift make that give it some edge over future versions of the Vive?
I don't see why you'd choose Go instead of a JVM language like Java, you get the language simplicity (plus features like Generics) and the performance upside too.
For me one of the factors that separates burnout from other forms is the "burn" part.

It was the fact that I had worked so hard only to see it fail anyway and people I worked with not caring rather still buy tools while they had already IIRC started looting the place.

Another thing: That job was way beyond stressful. At some points two big blokes, one coworker I had though of as a friend together with a friend of him came to "take" me whatever that meant and the way I got away was running for the kitchen, grabbing a knife and place myself in the doorway so nobody could get behind me. Eventually they gave up.
We were using docker up to about a year ago, and ripped it out for just this reason - we didn't have the time available to keep coding the workarounds. Great if you have the time, not so great if you don't.
Note this is designed to fool facial detection, not recognition. Detection generally uses much simpler algorithms because in most cases it needs to be orders of magnitude faster.

I was working on a project with OpenCV a few years ago. After a few embarrassing incidents I had to add a kludge whereby if it detected a small face directly above a big face, it was to discard the big one.

It turns out that the torsos of portly women with large breasts make ideal face candidates.
That's not the sentience we're talking about. From the article:

'a' defacto standard, not 'the' defacto standard.
but having all those things go would become another C++ with a different syntax.

I like the direction Go is going of "there are no options to choose", like unconfigurable fmt, or the fact that there is no way to create "exotic" implementations.

However, generics would be my number #1 on the list of "maybe let's add that". Would be nice to have less "interface {}" in reusable libraries.

Exceptions would be probably second, but that would come with some sort of runtime cost. With them Go would start to drift towards "generic programming language".
I agree with the author's request, I'm just not convinced he proposes a design. I mean I recognize see the need for some sort of generic programming, but the big question is how not why, right?

Most of those tweets are from a few months ago. I've had similar things happen to me as well. In the last couple of months, I haven't come across any bugs, so I'm pretty sure they are putting more effort into making Sketch more stable.

As a rule of thumb, wait 2 or 3 weeks before upgrading to any major update(I know lots of Sketch users do the same). Usually, in 3.x.1 updates they seem to weed out a lot of bugs.

I've been slowly moving all my work over to Sketch in the last year, and now about 90% of it is all done in Sketch!
