That always makes for a depressing work day, even if you're not affected and everything else is going fine.
This is a proposed 3:1 stock split which would take the per-share price for Facebook down to the $30s and also give Zuck the ability to donate 2/3rds of his resulting shares without any change to his percentage control of the company.
I've been using it on a production project. Life hasn't been smooth, but once Its totally functional.
I'm actually a little surprised they're that small. That's not all that far out of the typical small and medium business (SMB) definition which tops out at 1,000 employees or so and they're a widely recognized brand--albeit within a fairly narrow niche.

(By contrast Proctor and Gamble has about 110,000 employees.)

The Green 500 is more than a concern for global warming. It is also a measure of scalability due to heat dissipation and power supply concerns. The difficulty of achieving a human-brain sized supercomputer will be more about energy efficiency than actual computational ability.
Very true. I love watching the live stream videos which show teams celebrating after successful launches/landings, because it's easy to see just how rewarding the job is for them.
Nothing he does is short-sighted. I believe it was even mentioned in the original announcement that they were working on a plan to enable doing this while maintaining ownership.
It means it's not implemented in most SMTP clients/SMTP servers. The randos have a huge impact.

That's missing the point. Everyone knows the middle class has been gutted to benefit the one percent. The problem now is: how does a national political campaign appeal to the vast population without referring to them as the middle class, or as something realistic but depressing, or with some sort of hollow and transparent euphemism like "everyday Americans"?

Microsoft Reduces Free OneDrive Storage from 15 GB to 5 GB

There's something I always wondered about the gamestate rewind thing:

Is it correct that the gamestate rewind only works for hitscan weapons (instant hit bullet)? What about slow moving projectiles or physically accurate bullets? Can the server spawn the projectile 200ms in the past at the time you pressed the button? But then other clients would receive the information about 400ms later after the initial keypress, which does not seem right...
I built a website that just went live a few days ago (still crazy ugly). It is .NET core on Ubuntu using various Azure Services (nothing fancy, just standard ecommerce... but still):

http://savorylane.com

The biggest hurdle has been dependencies, but support has been improving a lot every month. Getting deployed was initially a pain, but I've found a way to make it smooth. I think soon i'll be writing up how I deal with it. I deploy about 3 times a day without interruption on my single server behind an nginix reverse proxy.
A general remark: A year ago, working at one of the The Big Four companies, I was taught one important lesson:

"Great disruption" - in short: business has to be prepared that within a year or two there will be 10 new global competitors, selling the same or better product for a better price. In order to survive you have to provide excellent customer service and support, automate your internal processes to lower the margin costs, focus on comoditization of services (that is: people love Coke, it's cheap, you open it with your finger, you drink, you go - this is how we want to use insurance, mortgages, cars and credit cards and municipal administration), compete by improving quality not by lowering price, carefully listen to your clinet, do a lot of personal tailoring.

Ask for recommendations.
Even if you do, you still should never trust the client. Who knows when you might lose control of one end?

That sounds very much like [API Blueprints](https://apiblueprint.org/), which [Apiary](https://apiary.io/) back. I tried to get the organisation I work for to standardise on them (being able to run tests from a versioned API specification seemed like a fantastic way to hit two birds with one stone), but sadly, couldn't convince enough people.

In general I buy Anker stuff - decent pricing and solid stability/quality/safety.
They could, but they can't falsify the game seed - the server determined order for what gems spawn when. This way I can send actions (whether real or hacked) that would be executed in the server against the "real game". If the client's move did not result in a score then no score is recorded, even if the client thinks it should.
Yeah, that's assuming you know what the RNG algo is.

There's a sibling comment below that mentions this. Most RTS games checksum the game state and send an out of sync when the checksums fail. If you generated different random values you'd definitely hit this.

Always sucked when it happens about 1 hour into a game of Homeworld.
I saw a talk where a guy was showing how to cheat at some games. A lot of games will detect and crash you out if they detect a debugger attached to them.

Things like Punk Buster, et. al. are more like anti-virus software: they try to find the signatures of known chat clients.

So it's best to write you own...and rename your debugging process to "Google Chrome." He got pretty far with his auto-walker in some MMOs. He had limiters so his runs wouldn't be too fast and would go up/downhill correctly...or so he though. He forgot to multiple by -1 somewhere and the server banned him for attempting to fly of into space.

I agree and had said so before [1]: it's in the same spirit as "if you make this much, you're doing fine and don't need the overtime laws" or "if you make this much, you can invest in shadier stuff since you have the resources to do your own diligence first".

But that's not to say that unions are favoring the exemption for this more noble reason, and we have to be on guard against abuses of it e.g. a consultant who charges a fee to get your workers classified as being in a worthless, token union so you can pay them less but without giving them enough bargaining power to ensure that the lower amount is still a good deal.

Yes! With the size of MicroSD cards these days it would seem straightforward to build a sim/sd card combo.
Charter schools' biggest failure is that they do not have the restrictions on religious indoctrination that public schools have. A lot of them are just public-subsidized religious schools, something that can be considered undemocratic, since the principals of American democracy are rooted in secularism.

That being said, if you believe that the American academic paradigm is broken, and you have a lot of money, what are you supposed to do?

Would you say alcoholics get a subsidy as well due to the damage they cause to their health? It certainly adds to the cost of the healthcare.

Your argument seems a little silly.
You should be pleasantly surprised, then! All of the functionality you included in your complicated case exists directly on the event creation page. "Select a time that works for everyone" was the last one missing, and this update is of course just that.
Well how about that. I guess my cursory Google search was too cursory.
I'm going to guess that this only works if you're meeting with people who all have Google calendars. Within this limitation, the web interface has been capable of this for quite some time ("Find a Time" tab or "Suggested Times" when creating an event).

Of course, not everybody uses Google as their calendar provider, but that would be a harder (if more interesting) problem to solve.

But when regulations are absent, amon the things that happen, more bad things happen. So if removing regulation increase the amount (or value) of things that happen, but it also increases the cost of the things that happen, then - depending on the balance of cost and value, removing that regulation may be a net negative.
Thanks! Something like a site wide license? Any suggestions on a price point for this? I'm decent at development, but I'm a complete noob at marketing and business.

The hubris in this response is unbelievably high! Have you ever considered that YOU can also be systemically decimated in an interview designed around your weaknesses?

Umm, A-10s have flown for a long time with FLIR. They don't have it natively, but they always use their targeting pods. See SNIPER or LITENING pod. My pilots did night missions all the damn time. The trouble with the A-10s isn't just the engines, its the airframes themselves are getting old. They are heavily stressed through years of use, their hydraulic systems are a nightmare to maintain, and so on.

If you're a business which experiences cashflow issues, I'm suspect it works out cheaper than a revolving credit facility or a series of regular loans, but like any flexible credit facility, it's a lot cheaper if you don't need to use it at all.
If they pay less for healthcare than they receive in services, what else would you call it other than a subsidy?

Re: the last transaction, what if I sell someone a couple shares of Microsoft stock for $1? That obviously wouldn't affect the stock. Is there some mathematical expression of amount of stock that has to be sold to impact the price? Or is it a question of the sale being done by certain authorized entities?

BTW, if you don't see "reply" under this comment like I don't for yours, you can go to my profile page and "comments" and then you will see the "reply" link.
First, it is too bad that you spent weeks and probably didn't find the "right" solution (because it doesn't seem to exist).

Second, I like your enthusiasm for specs from code ... the problem (opportunity?) today is that the specifications intertwine human readable descriptions / summaries with the actual endpoint / payload information.

I would hate for my devops pipeline to kick-off because somebody fixed a typo in some human focused in-line documentation. I personally don't think it belongs in the code but absolutely agree with the spirit of your comment (if you keep them separate it is more work and they will get out of sync!).

The best luck I have is working within the specification (i.e. Swagger) and avoiding doing things that don't model well. This seems backwards, but for most of the development I've been involved with to date it has served the projects well.

Interested if others have had luck embedding API specs into code.

What you just described is absolutely insane process and especially for a front-end developer.

Having worked in Germany, UK, Finland and Sweden (iOS developer, backend developer, embedded software engineer) longest interview I ever faced was following:

1h culture/attitude interview aka getting to know you etc.
(...week after...)
1.5h tech interview (face-2-face at the office, no disrespectful phone screening bullshit) where I answer basic question about iOS platform, show some apps I have created, some basic server/backend questions (push notifications, parse)
(...1 day after...)
Homework (REST API which does some math equation things)

And that was a LONG one. Usually it's like this: 1h getting to know you + 1h tech => hired/not hired and sure as hell no whiteboard coding algorithms that you'll never use.

The kind of interviews you went through might be given for people applying for positions such as Lead Software Architect, Senior Algorithm Developer, CPU Instruction Set Engineer etc.
10 way to be mehdiocre
This is entirely possible and its why things like Punk Buster, etc. exist. For a lot of single player games it'd be hard to verify that an actual human physically executed the plays vs. a bot. I'm ok with accepting a high score from someone that went through that level of effort to falsify replays to get on a leader board. If a puzzle game is truly interesting that kind of cheating isn't necessarily optimal anyway.
To put it simply, the price is chosen to allow the biggest number of transactions or, alternatively, the biggest turnover at any given moment.

Example:

Price Buy Sell

124 € 130 pcs 50 pcs

125 € 120 pcs 90 pcs

126 € 70 pcs 90 pcs

127 € 30 pcs 100 pcs

In this case, the price would be 125 €. 90 transactions can happen at this price; there is no other price which allows more transactions to happen because of the supply and demand constraints.
Its been a while

I liked the records in ada. You could control the position and size of each field (which was really usefully for dealing with in binary messages) We had a ton of constrained types.

If I remember we has assert 'size on some of the records to make sure type changes didn't cause some records to become unexpected sized in case the types that made up the record changed.

variant records were fun, but when you start trying to do much (array of variant records?) it fell down.

The string handling left a little to be desired though..
Yeah, totally fair point. Similarly there's a lot of code that pretty definitely isn't being depended on in life or death situations.
The projectile issue actually is much better.

Since as a player you're trying to shoot the projectile to "predict" where it will intersect you're actually playing to the strength of latency and dead reckoning(that's the SubSpace case above).

You want to segregate your action into twitch(reactionary: hitscan, parry, etc) and predictive(slow projectile, > 250ms ttl, etc) and only rewind/replay for the twitch case.

There's also the case that when you rewind and do confirm a gamestate change you need to gracefully handle resolving it on all clients. That's why you'd see people warp back around corners when shot in Counter-Strike. Their player movement speed slowed after being hit and the server reconciles it and then the clients interpolate the result.
This reminds me a lot of Facebook (and other social media), where people put up a fake persona, only show their best side etc. The effect that this must have on people growing up with social media as a major part of their lives while they develop intuition about the world and other people will have very interesting results I think.

I know that life before social media wasn't much different, in that people still gossiped, bragged about their accomplishments and so on. But social media amplifies these traits enormously and presents them to you daily in a concise list of why everyone is doing better than you.
The only people who prefer shorthand are those who want people to evaluate the number without context and just see a small number. $1.3tn is just a small number to many people, regardless of the unit which comes after it.
I'm not so sure that Tim was investing for reasons other than those for which he normally invests.

Remember that venture capitalists need good opportunities as much as good opportunities need capital. If Theranos had worked out, would everyone have said that Holmes should have given other investors a chance and not just given her next door neighbor an early in?

If you want to have guys like Tim giving smart young people a chance, you can't have it both ways. Either:

A) He can invest in whatever good opportunities come along without making them jump through a lot of hoops, and whoever comes after with big money should do their own diligence
OR
B) He should take responsibility for the actions of other people seeing his investment as a proxy for due diligence, and thus have the same standards for seed funding as he would have for a later round.

I think there is fault in the SV system, but shouldn't it be laid at the feet of those who put in the $XXX million without DD, not the guy who put in $500k? YC takes similar chances on people, and that's a good thing. The problem is when the prestige attached to being chosen gets out of hand, and other people think Draper or YC have done their job for them.

Full disclosure: I was a founder who worked with Tim for 6 years. I know nothing about the Theranos situation, and I'd never heard of them before the recent press storm. That said, having known Tim, I could totally see him investing based only upon her being smart and making a good case to him. He does really seem to want to invest in smart young people. I say this based on my own interactions with him, having once been a young person who thought I was pretty smart.
Does their editorial line include cutting the implicit subsidy of allowing people to pollute without paying for the costs, or do they consider that to be in the "not a subsidy" category?
Pretty incredible revenue growth on just Facebook and Instagram. Makes you wonder how big Facebook can get when they begin to really monetize Messenger, WhatsApp, and VR.

As a Norwegian, I think sending a text is a little too much work. Here, silence is a confirmation in itself. That said, if you have foreign bank accounts or own foreign shares then you still have to do your taxes here too. I think they should get an information sharing agreement with other governments in place to get rid of that. Should be doable within the EU at least.

Last time I checked Microsoft was still threatening Android OEM's with their prior art ridden / pile of junk patents (M-CAM analysis). I don't believe Google has ever used patents for offensive purposes, but Microsoft continues to collect quite a bit of money from shaking down Android OEM's.
Because of prop 13, each new house costs the EXISTING homeowners money. That's because the taxes on the new house will never pay for the additional public infrastructure (roads, schools, public safety, etc) to support its residents. So, at some point, there will be "parcel taxes" for a new wing on the school, a new library, and a new fire house, and then "sales surtaxes" for a new overpass, a Bart extension, etc ......

Thinking back to the fellow who gave all of his employees a raise to $70K, parts of that ended up going badly for him.

As a thought experiment, I wonder what might go well or poorly in this case?

The publicity is great. Employee loyalty from gratitude and vesting. It may afford a near-term competitive advantage from capabilities like increased willingness to work overtime or rallying together during an opportunity/crisis. Real information may flow more freely as employees feel a safety/pride of ownership and connection to management.

How will new employees feel about working alongside someone with much greater compensation? Existing employees may immediately face this - since shares were dolled out by tenure, employees with several years' tenure may see themselves as rich vs. newer folks and vice versa.

As vesting completes, experienced employees may depart as they become financially independent. Or perhaps the windfall will inspire lifetime loyalty.

Will there be problems at competitors, whose employees are marginally less satisfied, knowing their counterparts at Chobani are treated so well?

Overall an inspiring and kind program. I'm excited to see it play out.
This "crap" is a stack overflow. The "correct" way of handling this crap is to terminate the process on a stack overflow (Rust does this for most stack overflows anyway). The current incorrect way causes a segfault instead, which also terminates the process -- not much of a difference for a production user; it crashes either way.

This can lead to bad memory reads if you try really hard to write code that leads to it, and that too it will happen a small fraction of the time -- all the other times it will segfault-crash (and would be caught in testing or in deployment without being exploited).
If the companies are creating products that do health/environmental damage that the taxpayers have to fix, how is it silly? Say a given Toyota does $500 worth of environmental damage in its lifetime, and the government pays to repair it. Is that not a $500 subsidy, a fee handled by taxpayers which the responsible party (Toyota) is somehow permitted to ignore?
