For people who are currently looking, they should be thankful for this post. This guy really was a master negotiator and provides lots of hard numbers. The key is to get some initial leverage (at least one offer from anywhere) and then keep cranking. If you can get a Google offer, then you can really squeeze out every last drop.

I think him publicly posting this will cause a lot of resentment at his company. I wouldn't be surprised if there are PhD's with multiple years of experience at AirBnB making less in total comp than this guy.
So uber is recreating the taxi system with all its warts. I can't wait for stage 3 where they lobby for local regulations and licensing limiting competition.
Their comp is obviously top. I was impressed at how large AirBnB's offer is in every aspect--its base was already higher than the total comp of many of his other (initial) offers.

Externality.

Plastic bags cost $0. Cleaning up plastic bags costs more than $0. If you can't grasp this basic concept, then that's your own fault at this point.

An externality is a basic market failure. Very basic economics here.
What a weird article. It says nobody knows where deuterium comes from ("One idea is that much of the heavy water formed in the interstellar cloud and then traveled across the solar system."), and abruptly ends. They could've at least tried exploring or explaining the subject a little - right now it reads like half an abstract.
Geelong, at least ten years ago, has some super smart and friendly tech people at Deakin University. Could be worth checking out.

That might be, however languages usually evolve on their own.

Simply inventing a new word and expecting that suddenly everyone understands it feels arrogant and leads to discussion derailments like this one.

Well I'm sure profiles are a part of it. It got bad enough that I completely removed all profile and plugin data, and clean reinstalled. Firefox remains the worst performing browser I have on this system by very large measure.

Five amazon tabs are enough to basically grind it to a halt. Chrome, IE, Opera and Palemoon (a fork of an older firefox) don't do that.

So I've reached a point where I can't do much more to make it usable without a debugger. I've no doubt others are fine, or find Chrome the slow one. If everyone had the issues I currently have it'd be the single highest priority bugfix in the project.

I'd maybe migrate to palemoon but I don't trust it on a security front.
Exactly. I have a friend currently commuting daily between Melbourne and Ballarat.

It's a 2 hour door-to-door commute each way, but it means he's working in IT in Melbourne rather than a fruit shop in Ballarat (what he was doing until he found this job).

He's planning to move to Melbourne as soon as feasible.

To the author of the article, try finding remote work based in the US. The timezone isn't so bad if you find work on the West Coast - you get a few hours overlap in the Melbourne morning, Californian afternoon, which basically means you can wake up, have a meeting to discuss work for the day, work while your clients are asleep, provide an update to clients at the end of the day, which they get at the beginning of their day and which gives them time to provide feedback while you're sleeping, all ready for when you start the next day. It actually works out quite well.

I linked a computerphile video explaining how HTML ended up as a loose defined language, meaning browsers will often struggle to render something.

I think it's part of the whole thing, HTML is too permissive, and it also will make rendering slower. If HTML was better defined from the ground up, rendering would also be faster. The sites I visited were not really JS intensive. JS is also a problem for webpages.

Anyway I hate HTML/CSS/JS in general for all those reasons. Parsing text is already painful, why do it each time you visit a webpage?
Why?

> I am stealing this.

You shouldn't. I have seen this ideology come up on HN a lot (strangely almost never anywhere else), as an argument against human life extension. If this is your ideology, it's of course not productive to argue against it, but if your mind isn't made up yet, allow me to very briefly present some bullet point-like counter arguments:

Returning a couple of kilograms of mostly-carbon to the environmental cycle isn't critically important to nature. In the grand scheme of things, never breaking the old legos is probably not a net loss in a universe filled to the brim with more lego bricks. It's hard to make a compelling argument that our mental or cultural landscape would improve if this specific person was removed. Individual minds do have an intrinsic value that is lost when death happens, with little-to-no balancing benefit on the other side.

If your primary motivation for a "death is good" paradigm comes from the perception that it's the only antidote to overpopulation, there is even more to talk about than would be prudent in this thread, but suffice it to say that over-procreation is due to a faulty feedback loop, and not an inevitable fact of human existence.

Of course, you may - and probably do - disagree with this opinion, but it's at least something to consider.

Dell XPS 13 developer edition really ready for use?
Hi all, I got a new Dell XPS 13 and found that the software is not ready yet. I am using the linux version that comes from the factory and I ran into a bunch of issues.

My latest adventure has been to plug an external monitor to the thing. I have found at least 4 bugs in the intel driver:

It's a security risk, some sites relying on this will be affected by malicious content on sites they link to, so at the very least they'll now have to add one of the 2 limiting rel attributes on links that do not require the misbehavior to function.

Thanks to the bright and sensible handful of people who add extra cruft to HTML after a brief exchange on a mailing list 3 years after a problem was reported, the other 99.9% of the websites will have to be modified too.

So the female rate increased more then?

> I absolutely agree with that and the fact that fighting death is so low on social priorities is something that boggles my mind.

Really? Because the amount of money put into researching how to cure life-threatening diseases, as well as prevent and vaccinate against them, seems pretty high.

Pharmaceutical companies spend billions trying to research drugs to cure diseases, and so do governments, universities, private research funders, and charities.

There are people who dedicate huge portions of their lives to raising money and resources for charities trying to research cures for diseases that kill millions of people.

And we've had some success. Just the other day, there was an article published about the men who thought they were going to die of AIDS in the 80s, but whose lives are now in their 60s and approaching retirement age because of the provision of highly active anti-retroviral therapy. (And now they face issues because they never thought they'd survive and so didn't plan to have a career or a retirement etc.)

http://projects.sfchronicle.com/2016/living-with-aids/story/

I just don't see how anyone can claim that society isn't "doing serious focused R&D" on life-threatening diseases.
> In any case, you might argue it isn't a mathematical monad, but it can still be a Haskell monad as long as it implements the typeclass.

This attitude is unacceptable, because it undermines the meaning of abstractions, on which much of the Haskell ecosystem critically depends. It is also a potential turnoff for those who want to learn Haskell but find the learning curve too steep: "What use is investing so much time and effort learning abstractions that people will routinely break anyway?"
No. The female rate (per 100,000) increased by 1.0 while the male rate increased by 1.1.

1.1 (the male rate increase) is greater than 1.0 (the female rate increase).

Irresponsible reporting however, made it seem otherwise.

Wow. It's not often you find a situation where straight-up capitalism is morally superior to Jesus. You do charity for recognition and your own ego? Awesome. Rock on, dude.

The important thing is that the charity gets done.
Previously drivers were not permitted to accept tips and this was mandatory. I dont know if the new tipping arrangement is going to be foisted on the passenger if not I think it is only fair for drivers to be able accept a tip from anyone who generously feels the need to do so
Most of the vulnerabilities you mention are actually kernel vulnerabilities. While they affect Docker, they more accurately affect everything that uses "Linux containers". Although, Docker did have a bad history of security bugs with symlinks.

But given the fact that Linux doesn't have real containers, I feel very conflicted about opening that up to the internet.
When being accused of bigotry, it's never a good sign to use "social serfdom number" in your post mortem.
I agree. Tipping is a terrible practice. Also, Uber drivers receive ratings. I can already see that drivers asking for tips would probably get lower ratings. That's not going to end well.
Medicare is actually relatively efficient compared to private insurance companies, and administers a very large amount of healthcare reimbursement.

Insurance is one of the things that a government can be very good at. It's not an area of great innovation, so the benefit of having it be a free market is relatively limited, and negotiation leverage is very important, so size is very beneficial. The natural tendency of the private insurers has been to consolidate and to look more and more like Medicare in terms of size. Except they also have a profit mandate, whereas Medicare doesn't, so they take a percentage of all spending and suck it out of the system. That portion isn't helpful to the users of the system.
Why do you think the price per share is relevant?

I know C++, used to know Perl, and know JavaScript pretty well. The fact that you actually name WebSockets as a technology sort of sums up the issue we are discussing here. WebSockets is not something that can be compared to C++ or even Node. It's a dumb hack which justifies its existence primarily by allowing web apps to circumvent corporate firewall policies.

The web is a joke of an app platform. Those of us who have wider experience of different kinds of programmings see some web devs struggling with this concept and conclude, I think quite reasonably, that the only plausible explanation is lack of experience. This is not due to "outdated skills" - I daresay everyone criticising the web as a platform in this thread has, in fact, written web apps. It's the opposite problem. It's to do with developers who haven't got the experience of older technologies having nothing to compare it too, so "web 2.2" gets compared to compared to "web 2.0" and it looks like progress.

And in case you're tempted to dismiss me too, I recently tried to write an app using Polymer. It sucked. The entire experience was godawful from beginning to end. Luckily the app in question didn't have to be a web app, so I started over with a real widget toolkit and got results that were significantly better in half the time.
Fucking hell. I wish video games paid that well. God damn.
$7 PER MONTH.

Nope.
It's 50%. The share price is irrelevant. Be it $2 to $3 or $100 to $150, the market cap increases the same.

Android has declarative UI, JIT compiled app logic and a way to link apps together (via intents). It is definitely not the web though.

I think people confuse ideas with implementations. The web is a pretty reasonable implementation of the idea "let's build a hypertext platform". It is not at all a reasonable implementation of the idea "let's build an app platform" which is why in the markets where reasonable distribution platforms exist (mobile) HTML5 got its ass kicked by professionally designed platforms like iOS and Android.
Ha ha. Here I am thinking arranged marriages are too difficult and I should have born in a different culture.
Wouldn't that explanation only work if their load is high enough that they frequently hit the limit on how much can be shipped per day, but they rarely hit the limit on how much can be shipped per 5 days?

If the load is lower than this, then deferral of non-Prime orders would rarely be needed. If the load is higher than this, deferral would rarely help.

If their load is in that window where deferral can help with load, the amount of deferral for a given warehouse should vary from order to order all the way from no delay to several days.

My recollection from before I got Prime was that almost all my free shipping 5 day orders shipped the same day, and then over a very short time that changed to them almost all being delayed by an amount that depended on how far the warehouse was from me. I lived in the same city as their biggest warehouse, for instance, and orders served from there were almost always delayed 4 days and then overnighted. That indicates that the deferral was not based on load.
I wasn't looking for double quotes, I was looking for printing an integer :) Actually I was going for print 2+2 but i couldn't get + to enter. I assumed there was nothing going on since print 2 didn't produce any output at all in immediate mode (no line numbers) :)
OT: Seriously, I cannot read the seekingalpha article without installing their app? No way!

Ad-blocking-related or is this the same for everyone?
If you are driving 13 miles a day on electric then you might as well be cycling those 13 miles. So long as you are not physically disabled it does not take that long to get enough health together to cycle ten miles or so each way. Within this range it is hard to find a quicker door to door solution to one's transport needs, rarely does public transport beat a bicycle over a ten mile range in a built up area. By the time you walk to the train/bus and wait to get onboard, you are half way there already going the two wheeled way.
The problem with the web is not one specific missing feature, or even performance. Man-centuries of effort by browser makers have been able to make performance not-quite-competitive instead of just hopelessly uncompetitive.

The problem with the web is that the developer experience is nightmarish. The fact that native apps don't suffer XSS should be a hint about where to start looking, but it's really just a house of horrors in there.
yes, its surprising that amd has been so undervalued for so long
But there is no global public policy funded by global taxation and based on global democracy.

On a national level, I would agree with you that outsized influence of charity vs public policy is a bad sign, even if the results may not be so bad at some point in time.

But on a global level, things are very different. Those who distribute public development funds cannot be voted out of office by those who receive or don't receive those funds. So charity is all we have. Even public development spending is basically charity as it's not based on rights or on democratic participation.

At least $200 million or so from my Government, the result of straight-up corruption. From here http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/20/technology/us-said-to-look...:

> The Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission have both opened preliminary investigations into bribery accusations involving Microsoft in China, Italy and Romania, according to the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the inquiry is a confidential legal matter.

The article is 3-year old and of course nothing came out of it, but based on the very happy coincidence that our Government signed a big contract with MS just days after Ballmer had paid a quick visit to our God-forsaken country back in 2004 and that the PM at the time was a corrupt guy (who later on went to prison for other stuff) I'm 100% sure that MS (and Gates) actually took that money out of our pockets.
its the same here without adblocking
Yeah, except breaking 99% of the modern Web.

NoScript has its place, for example in the Tor browser or in other high-security applications, but it's too much of a burden for everyday use.
The API part is just great. It opens a lot of possibilities.
A $4 share price is comparable to other company share prices relative to market capitalisation. eg. Alphabet at 950B ~ $720 per share.

I don't see tipping as universally a terrible practice. Sure, if a driver goes above and beyond in some way, I'll put in a bit extra. But as a routine?

It's not hard for me to see this developing into conversations along the following:

"Um, tips aren't included you know."

"I don't have any change."

"Here let me make you some."

"I really don't."

'Tips are really expected."

"Fine, here's $2."

"That all?"

"Yes"

You: Rate 2 out of 5.
Ah, thanks for the update.
Um, Word has pretty much always started in a second or two even on computers from the year 2000. You're picking on the wrong app there: Microsoft was notorious for caring about startup time of their Office suite and going to tremendous lengths to improve it.

Meanwhile, how fast Google Docs loads depends entirely on the speed of my internet connection at the time. Good luck even opening it at all if your connection is crappy, flaky, if any of the ISPs between you and Google have congestion issues, or if there's a transient latency problem in one of the dozens of server pools that makes up an app like Docs.
Report this as a bug and it will get routed to Alec and promptly fixed. The issue here is that constructing the page requires pullling from different places (cdn, etc) and sometimes someone changes the way things are set up internally to deliver this and the person making the changes is not aware of the mods needed to deal with the .onion support.

I did read the article. I have now read the article again. Nowhere does it answer my question.

I can think of a number of natural mechanisms that would create water e.g. fire but none that could create the massive amounts of water to fill half of the oceans.

Was it life? If it was formed on Earth then where did all the hydrogen (and oxygen) come from?

If you look at the Wikipedia page about it it mostly dodges the question:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_water_on_Earth

So, in case anyone here is more knowledgeable about the subject I'd be fascinated (and grateful) to here what the current theory is.
