Site-wide or per-seat, I'm not really sure which would be better. For the companies I work with, which are by-and-large pretty small, I think a per-seat license would be better (several of them only have 2-3 production analysts). You could do ~$600/head including support+updates for a year (might want to cap hours of support, however) pretty easily I think.

I'm not any better at marketing, I just know a lot of people that would use this if it were pitched at them correctly. Unfortunately, most of sales involving enterprisey companies is in the pitch and not actually in the product....

Alternatively you could just get bought by Microsoft like that other guy mentioned.

Best of luck!

Nope. He'll donate the shares. Charities are tax-advantaged. It's generally better[1] for them to take the shares and sell them than to sell the shares and donate the proceeds.

[1] better in the sense that more money goes to the charity and less to the government, and better in the sense than the charity can hold the shares and sell at an advantageous time.

Edit: I just remembered, I think that Bill Gates is doing it in the opposite way, by liquidating and donating cash, so there may be some legitimate cases when donating cash instead of stock is preferable.
"Donating" his shares to his own charity that he fully controls and his children will inherit. It's little more than a smart tax shelter.
is he donating his shares to a trust that he controls?
Whenever "everyone knows" something so complicated, you can be certain it's a religious belief, not a fact
Do anyone that's so much against opt-in is aware of closed source tools that tracks you and use it anyway?

And..

Do you use any third party web service like gmail or any other?

I can only answer for myself, and it's no to both, with caveats. I do have a hotmail account, but I only use it for subscriptions to public mailing lists. I've had it for over 20 years, and stopped using it for private correspondence around 2005. I also have an Android phone, but it's not activated (as in, I never gave it any credentials to log in to any Google services, and I do not have a mobile data plan). Any application I need is sideloaded, or installed with F-Droid.

The rest of my networked machines are running Debian, OpenWRT or NetBSD. I do have a Windows (8.1) VM on my work laptop, but that VM is switched off unless I get paid to use it.

It's true it's not directly related to the functioning of the software, but it improves it in anyway, then there's a connection with it.

It's not a given to any specific user that sharing their data will improve the software in areas that the user cares about. Nor is it a certainty that not sharing leads to the software not improving in those areas.

There definitely is a case to be made that more accurate metrics will allow the developers to make more focused decisions, and I don't think anyone is arguing against that. That's not what the argument is about. The question is whether the developers' need for data is sufficient justification to hand over their users' data to the biggest aggregator of personal data on the planet, and whether it is justifiable to do so without the user's knowledge (the primary reason for opt-in is because it's the easiest way to unambiguously ascertain consent).
"tough on crime" == "soft on justice"

I think voters fall for that slogan because we hate crime and injustice (unfairness) in general. Even though we need to be critical of both sides of the law ("we the people"), it's far easier to focus on/attack the unfairness we see rather than promote the everyday fairness that we take for granted. And we need closure in a lot of cases, so just pin it on that seedy looking character over there if there's hardly any evidence. A mob mentality is born out of our natural desire for "law & order".
UO had rubberbanding rampant - that is, you'd move on the client, then warp back to an old position after the server said you actually didnt move there.

It was terrible.

Most all MMOs with WSDA movement trust the client to set the player's position and it mostly works. Cheating through warping or speed is easily detectable through other means of post-verification and banning players that fail that verification. It makes the game feel more fluid to the player while still not really allowing cheating.

Everything else is generally handled serverside which is fine because it mostly doesn't need as high a reaction time as movement to feel natural.

If speed/warp hacks are a problem, it's not because the developers that use client-set-movement aren't able to fix it, it's because they don't care.

I wish I were hiring! I just doubled the team though so I'm not bringing anyone new on for the next ~6mo probably. Sorry!
This is part of the problem though--because the housing market takes such huge swings, people can't plan for their future.

Do you take the gamble that you'll be able to save up and buy a home somewhat near employment one day if the market comes down? Or do you just live your life with the assumption of never buying, and if luck strikes and prices plummet, buy then?
Well you may be onto something.

Pushing for hyper growth above all else can lead to cutting corners. It's also a common mistake for inexperienced entrepreneurs to make.

Any way cheers!
Interested people should see this team-up by anthropologist David Graeber and archaeologist David Wengrow: https://vimeo.com/145285143

They're writing a book on the topic of the origins of inequality. One interesting thing is how seasonal it was. (After all, for maybe 75k years, humans could theorize about society as well as any of us.) Fairly recently, we made temporary structures of hierarchy permanent.
Good thing they spelled it with a "K" on the end, or people might confuse it with the ARTIC cards.

Pick a different example if you'd like; plenty of "foundations" exist only to let some oligarch's kids play philanthropist.
True, but can you even imagine being a software dev in 1970? Where TDD, unit testing, or testing even in general isn't even a thing thought of? It just seems so foreign.

Even now, someone in college and spend all of their free time reading blogs and books for best practice development and can generally fit in pretty good with any development group once graduated. I don't think people had those luxuries in the 70's.
As a washingtonian who has been strongly in support of charter schools for years without any knowledge of Gates' involvement, this story seems to be choosing a very strange case-study for criticizing billionaire philanthropists. Perhaps it has not occurred to the author that many people support charter schools because they're actually a good idea?

The fundamental problem with saying that this money should go to the public school system in order to make it better is that we don't know how to make the school system better. It doesn't matter how much money is thrown at anyone in education because everyone is doing it wrong. Throwing more money at the public educational system will simply result in schools that are exceedingly good at cranking out students that excel at taking tests and memorizing useless facts instead of actually being good at something.

Every argument against Charter schools that I heard during the debate was focused almost universally on money. It was always about money. Teachers seem convinced that in order to make our school system work, they just need more money, when in fact the entire public educational system has already driven off a cliff.

Charter schools won't be better than public schools because of money, they'll be better than public schools because they try fundamentally different ways of teaching kids. Nobody can fix the educational system until we find better ways to educate children. Until we can find a way to instill creative problem solving and encourage innovative thinking instead of violently shoving children's brains into boxes, nothing is going to change, no matter how much money is thrown at the problem.

In a world where computers are better at following instructions than any human being ever will be, creativity is the one single advantage we have, and the regulations hovering over the public school system are doing their best to utterly destroy any creative spirit our children might have had. Our society is being shaped not by the kind of intelligence that is measured by a test, but by the innovative spirit of people who think outside the box. It's time the educational system started thinking outside the box, too.

tl;dr. The success of Unity can't be used as an indicator that cross-platform frameworks are good for productivity/utility apps.

Xamarin and Unity don't have anything in common, other than the fact that Unity uses C# for scripting (on an ancient runtime).

Cross-platform app development frameworks are generally awful because they don't tightly integrate with the native look and feel of every platform. Video games don't even try to achieve native looks on any platforms. They're always full screen works of art, without any hint of a UIButton (iOS) or TextView (Android).
Exactly. The EU already fought it back then, so it makes sense they’ll fight it here again.

The other EU antitrust case – the one about the Google Search – also was often misrepresented, but one of the major concerns was that Google took reviews from Yelp!, displayed them in Google Maps and Google Search, did not link back to Yelp!, and when Yelp! requested Google to stop doing so, Google threatened to blacklist Yelp! from the search completely.

These cases are not just hot air, although it seems like a lot of people try to misrepresent them, be it for misguided corporate loyalty or personal incentive.

I personally hope the EU can improve the situation for us users soon.

A Kindle device from HTC would be nice, and the ability to use DuckDuckGo from the recents menu, not just the Launcher.

Being able to use non-Google push notification services would also reduce my own costs – I’m a student working on FLOSS apps – by about 15$ a month – I’d finally be able to get 3G speeds on my phone, currently I can only afford 64kbps unlimited internet.
Have you tried NativeScript on Windows?
Or you could tell everyone to treat times as c.t. (cum tempora). Then you got your academic quarter of travel time.

broken vs different
I don't think anyone is arguing that machine readable specs should take the place of human readable documentation. Specs are helpful for testing, integrations, and generating HTML docs.

I agree the API provider's primary concern should be Developer Experience, and understand why creating a spec often takes a back seat. But I suspect that soon it will be seen as critical for any production grade API to have a machine readable spec.

I view specs as analogous to unit tests - it doesn't get you closer to a deliverable product, but it makes the development lifecycle much less painful.
That's pretty strange. You'd only get liquidity unrelated to selling the shares from the company being bought or liquidated or in share buybacks. I guess it's more likely that a company of facebook's size can't really die, just sliced apart until nothing at the core remains. Some of those cuts will be profitable and some unprofitable...

1,3trln is joint air-force budget for next 80 years (since F-35 is intended to cover 90% of all air-force/navy/marines air tasks), includes not only 2500 highly sophisticated vehicles them-self, but maintenance, and probably training and weapons, and covers 50% of national security problems in modern world.
I think 1.3trln is moderate price for that.

From knowing these guys for so long, they try their absolute best not to hide it and go pretty far to show it off in a way that's not really in your face. Gotta hand it to them for sticking up for their interests considering how much negativity the crowd receives. That said, the friends I mentioned really, really dislike most other bronies for being consistently over the top.

Your market assumption is that the place appreciates at a rate where you have that much equity. But if the market appreciates at that rate, aren't homes that are now $750k comparable to the homes that were once $400k? Or am I missing something there in how that works?
Unrelated parties are not required to charge interest on loans. (However, interest generally will be imputed on loans between related persons.)
Not uncommon, and if you have a visionary founder/CEO, investors are generally quite amenable to the idea.
The problem is you can exit silicon valley, but you can’t exit the silicon valley mindset. Where can you go work where you can believe that your employer has your best interests at heart, where you don’t have to worry about them outsourcing your job to increase profits by a couple percent. In the quest for ‘shareholder value’, business leaders have taken an overly cut-throat and self-centered approach to employees and their obligations to the country. Politics is the only way to reign this in and that is exactly what’s happening.
You're aware that Tesla has driven the cost of batteries below $200/kwh 5 years ahead of schedule? Batteries than can go in light vehicles, heavy vehicles, any sorts of vehicles. They will only continue to get cheaper.
Hopefully they wouldn't, when you look at the end result of their contribution to the project.

I stand potentially corrected.
No but I have noticed that when the state reduces its funding contribution, that tuition rises to compensate.
If there is no mode, take the median for any numeric or otherwise orderable values. For non-orderable values, let the AIs pass around a single "I'm correct this time" token. Multiple simultaneous faults aren't going to be common enough to think up fancy recovery modes for them.
i feel like they did this and the community barked, MS walked it back; now they are doing it again. Perhaps it was another service, idk, just fuzzy memory.
I don't think this is a victory. They wanted to backdoor every future IPhone. They did not get that. If they had to pay 1M+ to break an iphone, it means it is not cheap to break an IPhone which is the whole point of encryption.
Why not? The Facebook platform doesn't have a blogging component, so they have to use a CMS, or a custom written solution, or just public static HTML.

Why would it cause a crash?

In function createObject(), the `this` reference is bound to the local scope of the node file. You assign a global `obj` handle to that reference when it is returned from the invocation of `createObject`. You then compare (not write!) 3 with a nonexistent property (undefined) on that reference.

Why would that cause a crash?

Git gud, as the kids say these days.

Maybe do some reading:

EDIT:

Node and Javascript have all kinds of other problems, but if you take a second to learn about how things like `this` are handled in the language, you won't be nearly as surprised later.

I suspect that this is a much smarter way of rewarding employees than the minimum $70k salary.

Profit sharing and employee ownership aren't really new concepts. Lots of different companies have been providing such opportunities for a long time, especially for senior employees, so it's unlikely to be controversial.
I went through the interview process, and it went really well. I got the tour, met some interesting people, had a solid interview, but I didn't get an offer. I like to think I didn't get an offer because I asked about work-life balance with wife & kids one too many times. :) It might have been a good thing to not get that job.
Here's an O(N) solution to the `findSum` problem in Ruby:

def findSum(array1, array2, sum)
complements = array1.map{|x| sum - x}.reverse

i = complements.count - 1
j = array2.count - 1

while i >= 0 && j >= 0
return true if complements[i] == array2[j]

if complements[i] > array2[j]
i -= 1
else
j -= 1
end
end

There's been no detailed presentation of the whole Mars architecture; Musk has promised to present at least an overview this September at the International Astronautical Conference.

In the meantime, it's known that there's a high-performance methane-fueled engine in development as part of the project ("Raptor"), with some component tests already underway at test facilities, and several dropped hints about components (including rockets substantially more powerful than the Saturn V used for Apollo lunar missions), but not enough publicly released to determine much about how operations would work.

You can't make the leap between "has subsidy" and "would likely perform more poorly without subsidy".

In nearly all cases charter schools outperform public schools. It may be that this is partially or entirely explained by the factors that you mentioned, but to my knowledge, there is no actual evidence of that.

You're going to see a drop in auto sales regardless with autopilot and ridesharing services reducing the need to own a car. Note GM investing in Lyfy (smart; they see the writing on the wall).

Auto jobs are going away, but that's an argument for basic income for another day.

Retooling factories can be done quickly. It only took Tesla ~10-14 days of downtime to retool from Model S-only production to Model S and Model X. Electric vehicles are so so much easier to produce than an internal combustion vehicle, as its only a battery and electric motor for a drivetrain.

Charging infrastructure? Every home with at least 100amp/220V service is a charging station. Not to mention every Tesla destination and Supercharger station.
It's great to see a founder CEO (Hamdi Ulukaya) making a bold ethical move like this to support his employees. It's not flashy or earth shaking, but it's very real and it will definitely change many lives for the better.

This story reminds me tangentially of the time when Hewlett and Packard, when faced with a downturn at HP, decided to cut pay across the board so the company could avoid layoffs. Once HP recovered, I'm assuming they reinstated previous salary levels and then some. HP then benefited from a highly committed and skilled workforce who deeply respected their leaders and company.

Unfortunately, these stories reflect the (very rare) exception and not the rule. Today, we're much more likely to see CEOs and executive teams earning (multiple) millions in salary and options, all the while they are outsourcing jobs, implementing layoffs, converting full-time jobs to contract and part-time jobs, and so on. These CEOs are extracting as much wealth as they can, at the expense of their employees.

We desperately need more ethical, bold leaders like Ulukaya, Hewlett, and Packard who are going to shape the future of business; a future that is kinder, compassionate, and community-minded.

Your impression unfortunately turns out to not be the case. You can move pointers forward and backward within an array using pointer +/- integer arithmetic or (equivalently) the prefix and postfix ++/-- operators, and it's well-defined so long as you don't back up over the beginning of the array or go more than one element past the end.

See section 6.5.6, paragraph 8, of the ISO C standard, if you want the legalese. But this is pretty basic C that dates back to the beginning of the language.

Dear Keyless.io co-founder and ex-CEO: You're a liar and a fraud.

Soon enough everyone else will know about this swindle because I plan on telling people about you, basically every startup that your involved in and how character-less you are.
I look forward to the bad karma this brings your way for twelve grand after you had bankrupt the company. The only thing that sets you apart from people like Bernie Madoff and Christopher Skase is that you are talentless.

You’ve done the hard part, now just own up to it.

Let me leave you with this, I will enjoy telling everyone I speak with in the industry that you're a soul-less, greedy, lazy no-hoper that doesn’t deserve anyone's money or mercy. It’s a small world mate. Also, we work in a senior position for a global company that takes me everywhere you want to be.

You can try and have a nice life always watching over your shoulder ASSHOLE. It may not be me, but someone will kneecap you one day. I just enjoy the thought of it and your crying in pain begging for help, you dodgy fuck!

Once again I re-iterate. You’re the lowest form of scum.
