There is a number of things from her past interviews (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwKs-eoPM-Y) that leave a lot of questions. For example she says that she sleeps for 4 hours , and that she 's a big fan of the 10000 hours rule, and a bunch of stuff for how she really is committed to what she does, but very little on why she believes she can pull it through. For comparison, another female health entrepreneur, Woljisky of 23andme usually gives much more down-to-earth and concrete motives for her company.

And there is the turtleneck thing that, in retrospect, looks ridiculous.

No. Transferring teams should have no bearing on compensation for the year. I would not be concerned in your case. Changing managers more frequently than once per year is a concern. At those rates your managers will be challenged to provide career planning or relevant reviews due to lack of continuity.

PS: The two of you, and others reading this thread, TALK TO YOUR MANAGEMENT or senior individual contributors. These questions are all very reasonable and should be part of your ongoing conversation.
Looks like a great piece of tool! Very often you want to throw something together and the development grind to a complete halt because having to fiddle with the UI integration. Problem solved!

You know you're probably right. I haven't pushed my own boundaries. Part of the big reason has been that I've enjoyed starting things but have been terrible at finishing them and it has always bothered me. Even upset me to great extent. But I agree, having the ability and taking action are two different things and there is serious lacking on the "taking action" department for me.
that font though.
Arguing that you broke the law in a very deliberate and public way doesn't sound like a very good defense. Neither does accusing the state attorneys of being malevolent, incompetents or crooks.
> it is as if the person that supplies the paints has copyright of the painting

This is a great characterization of the problem, though it's not entirely clear where the issue lies.

A production company gets together a ton of money to build a film or game. Because of that they own the profits on most of the produced work.

What's really tough to understand is that they can choose to stop making profit from it, and in so doing, stop others from using it altogether.

All of these cloud-centric services suffer the same fate -- as soon as the remote part of the product disappears, the entire thing becomes unusable. If that WoW license, for example, didn't come with a "right" to run the game against an independent server, does the production company have to leave itself open to lawsuits, for example, originating through players of the game and weird things happening on even a "vanilla" independent server?

I just don't think "I paid $40 so it's mine" can cut it any more when we're really not buying many of the core or important bits of the game itself.

10 Best Practices for Mobile UX Design
I as well am perpetually concerned about video game preservation, but WoW is a poor example. Issues of copyright aside, MMOs in general just aren't the sort of games that can be capably experienced in a historical capacity. To use the obvious example, Nostalrius existed not out of historical curiosity, but out of nostalgic sentiment which is only going to continue waning. Even with access to the source, someone fifty years from now is going to have a hard time pulling together forty people (or eighty, if you want to do PVP) and convincing them to play a game together for months on end solely in order to experience a meagre facsimile of what WoW was like at its peak. (Though I'm amused at the prospect of a professional video game historian offering work-study jobs to history students that consist solely of playing a sixty year-old video game).

This sort of thing has implications for game design as well. If you care about your game being experienced half a century from now (which, to be fair, you probably don't), then you should attempt to provide an "offline mode"--even for games with online multiplayer--that makes a best-effort attempt to convey the spirit of the game. Dark Souls does an excellent job at this: even though much of the fun of the game is in playing online (seeing the hints that others have left on the ground, summoning allies for boss battles, fighting off invading players, seeing the ghosts of other players running around the level and the bloodstains they leave when they die), it also goes to great lengths to cater to offline players: there exists a spell that will cause developer-written messages to appear, there are summonable NPC allies and NPC invaders, all PVP reward items can technically (and laboriously) be farmed from enemy drops, etc.

Profits are important for the market you are in. Market share can be important for dominating markets you are currently not in. That is the base of all antitrust probes: A dominant market share is not illegal. Using that dominant market share to boost your position in other markets is illegal.

So, the central question is: Does Google use the dominant market share of Android and its position to further their position in other markets, e.g. the browser market (Chrome), the mail application market (GMail App), news market (Google News) and so on. If yes, there is a problem with european antitrust law.
The EU/US make the rules.
> Well, no. Google did not in fact purchase a copy of the book they're making money on.

The books they scanned weren't purchased? Google broke into the publishers' offices and stole them?

> So you do think Google should make billions from the minds of others without compensation.

That is the business model of every advertising company in existence. Also mapmakers, phone companies, movie critics, etc.
Consumerism! lol.. But honestly though, I seem to be in an eternal state of confusion on this one. But I do seem to enjoy writing a lot and I'd probably end up writing more! :)
You make a very good point and I certainly don't think that IE being tightly coupled to the underlying OS would be good for browser competition. At the same time couldn't I argue that a company such as Apple having so much power over their suppliers due to their market position, and profitability, is also not good for overall competition?

It's certainly going to be difficult if not impossible for a new entrant in the smartphone world to out compete an incumbent like Apple when negotiating contracts with Foxconn.

As I said in my other comment in this thread, I'm having a hard time understanding why certain behaviors get labeled anticompetitive while other behaviors, that ultimately may be just as detrimental to competition, don't.

I admittedly don't have a very deep understanding of these issues and I am perfectly willing to admit I might be completely wrong but I would love to hear your and other readers' thoughts.
Your example is a bit exaggerated, though I agree with you directionally. There aren't quite 100+ levels (more like 50-60 including the Mines and the Quest), and you don't have to do all those things: I rarely genocide sea monsters; my magical breathing is usually just a ring of levitation, which you need in other parts; you can easily get by without rustproofing your armor; the means of removing confusion and the speed boots are both things that you want/need earlier in the game too (vs a special preparation just for the Planes).

Once you've beaten it a few times and have a generally strong command on all the game mechanics and interactions, I think the fun part tends to be figuring out just which things are really necessary and which aren't, and generally optimizing your plan along some dimension or another (conducts, time, minimizing tedium, going for a streak, etc).

> Then when countries like India try to subsidize the domestic solar energy market, WTO accuses them of illegally supporting domestic over international solar producers.

Doesn't EU do the same (i.e. tax Chinese solar panels to support local producers)?!
> Apple obviously has enormous power due to its profitability that gives it a competitive advantage.

The law doesn't care about competitive advantage. It cares about making sure that your competitive dominance doesn't translate into dominating other markets.

For instance, Microsoft dominating personal OS market and making sure that their product stays on top is OK. Microsoft using their domination of that market to drive competition out of other markets is not.
Sort of.

It's an npm package with a lot of extra responsibility.

- May have some boilerplate/gluecode (that yeoman would typically put inside your own project)

- Some settings exposed that can be used to easily affect the behaviour of the package.

- Some commands that do a specific job. For example building the bundles or starting development mode with Redux devtools++.

Roc itself is not coupled with any tech like React or Redux, it's just one of the potential use cases.
Would be cool if you could add an image of the table with average measured times by country for the selection of european countries. (Marked with double asterisk in the post)

Intellectual territorialism is nonsensical.
How has it been validated? Vox did an article on how it is based on unproven theories [1]. A proper validation in my impression would be if people are misattributed their personalities, will their psychological reaction to the result be different? Frankly, I don't think anyone should be excited by any test that says something positive about you. The big test is when it says negative things. For me, seeing all the personalities description, I can vaguely relate to all of them - a perfect showcase of Barnum effect [2].

When I first started working with them there was an agile failure underway - teams dedicating multiple hours every day to the supposedly 'agile' process and getting nothing done. Nothing had been delivered for a year at that point.

Management must have got sick of it because they fired tens of people overnight. Also they then switched direction to their low-friction payment app, which was a solution looking for a problem (IMHO).

Didn't interact with management much. The 80+ inch tv, liquor cabinet and leather sofas on the upper floor tells me it wasn't always much about work..m
So just radical changes to pricing then? And cutting of features of course.

Cancelling flights is pretty expensive. I would not be terribly surprised if the total cost in foregone revenue (both from the flights not flown and from the opportunity cost of the decreased inventory on the flight passengers are rebooked onto), aircraft parking fees, couriering lost luggage and in compensation/accommodation provided (whatever little that is) is in the thousands of dollars per flight.

In other words, all other things being equal, you can probably train a decent number of pilots from savings from not cancelling flights, without plucking tax payers or raising ticket prices.

It's nice that after all these years racing sports still come up with innovations that can help "regular" people.

There is some other interesting economics at play. Solar is more suitable for local, small scale production for a few reasons including relative costs and the way those costs are distributed (capital cost vs variable cost).

That in itself is interesting for all sorts of reasons, many of them applying to countries like India with infrastructure difficulties.

About 7 years ago I visited Cow Bay, north of Cairns, Australia and past the end of the grid (it ends at the Daintree river, I think). All the B&Bs, houses, hotels and such were running on Diesel generators. Smelly, noisy... People turn them off at night. I wonder if solar has replaced much of this yet.

If local solar reduces the need for power infrastructure in areas where marginal costs are highest, I wonder if the economics of grids changes in some sort of useful way generally. Maybe the cost savings in marginal infrastructure reduce overall costs meaningfully. If governments (or the quasi independent private energy players) are too broke or disfunctional to provide good central power, there's an alternative. When telcom infrastructure was simplified by mobile, that had a big impact in places that never had wired infrastructure in the first place but got mobile phones.
Top Travel Tips from a Travel Expert
Since we're talking life and pseudo science, here's my pseudo scientific take on life:
Everything everyone does in life is aimed at getting two things, love in all its degenerate cases, and knowledge. Love from ourselves to ourselves, love from others, and love, now or in some future, from our deities. That, and knowing what this whole life and universe thing is all about.
Standing on pedals is actually less efficient than remaining on the saddle. You break out of the optimum cadence.

However it does shift the work to different muscles which is why some riders stand for particular stretches of hill prior to a seated sprint.
I've got it running on OS X with some modifications:

- In the Makefile, use

- In the main.c file of the project, change headers to use <OpenGL/gl.h> and <OpenGL/glu.h>

- In the shader code, change "#version 300 es" to "#version 400" for both the vertex and fragment shader.

Despite all the things I consume getting radically more expensive (food gas shelter) and a huge expansion of the money supply the official inflation numbers are extremely low! I bought PHN650 inflation linked bond fund when QE started thinking that it must result in inflation; I was wrong. However inflation is calculated they are leaving the goods I consume out of their basket. The economist should get a new Big Mac index, maybe an organic meal index.

You need a politically strong somewhat lefty government to ram it through against the vested interests who are rich from the present system. Single payer was opposed similarly in the UK but we had a landslide left wing government after WW2 who got it done. A shift in the US towards say Sanders could do it but it doesn't look like that's happening this time around.
> Whatever the realities of the cost of solar, I tend to worry about a future in which we cover vast swaths of areas with solar panels and the impact such a thing will have on the environment.

The post is joking, but its actually good advice to not do things if you don't "feel" enough for them. There is an epidemic of middle class neurotic fear of "missing out". E.g. the author has a very varied bio, but i've never heard of him, probably because he does none of those things excellently.
I am sorry but there is no reason to believe how a particular trait which troubles almost everyone can be based on a certain personality type. There are lots of take-an-interest-in-everything people out there who can't decide what they want to do, even though being particularly good at lots of things. I am not denying why this question might trouble you, it has troubled me for a long time myself but being a so called INTJ-type, I can't say if the personality-bucketing is the reason you should nail it down to.
> I just don't think "I paid $40 so it's mine" can cut it any more when we're really not buying many of the core or important bits of the game itself.

Yes. But I paid $40 USD and I am entitled to the profits of the art I create with it is sensible stuff. MS cannot prevent you from profiting from the word documents you create. But Bethesda can claim that video of my speed play trough of Doom II infringes their copyright (the case was with Nintendo and some of their games I think). Blizzard can claim that modifying a bits in my RAM memory infringes their copyright and so on.
It's like the word mensch was created for him.

There's this standard advice about making time for relationships, and not being such a bloody workaholic.
