> For each outstanding Class A and Class B share held by our stockholders, Facebook intends to issue two new Class C shares as a one-time stock dividend. The Class C shares will have the same economic rights as the existing Class A and Class B shares. The primary difference is that the Class C shares are non-voting.

Functionally, it sounds sort of like a split to allow Zuckerberg to sell off part of his holdings without losing control of the company?
That's what it looks like based on the latest post from:
http://newsroom.fb.com/news/2016/04/marknote/

It's interesting that FB will be initiating dividends - I am no expert when companies usually start offering dividends but I was under the impression it's usually further in time when companies have been in business for a while. FB is still growing a lot so I am surprised - but again no expert in that.
But would they sell to Apple? If they do, they'd lose out on sales to other governments. Apple would probably have to pay far more than other governments who would sit on the exploit privately.
Me too - my Anker car charger delivers 1800 mAh as measured by an Android app called Ampere - I can charge my phone only during commute and use it for 24 hours. A cable I have from them is also high quality.

OTOH some Ebay cables might drop it down to 500 mAh. It was a shock to me because for years I exclusively bought Ebay chargers and cables (around 1/5 of the price of Anker) thinking they would work as specified (or not at all)...
The government has been dramatically scaling back direct funding of higher education which has to then be made up with higher tuition. Often times, yes, the tuition is then paid for with government-backed loans but the cost-per-student in most areas hasn't budged in 30 years.

Hiring interviews often contain shibboleths that serve as cultural markers. It's a way to exclude people who are different while claiming that hiring is a meritocracy.
Maybe they don't want to sell it to apple because, assuming Apple hasn't already fixed it and it is found in further generation phones, they could sell this exploit once to Apple or to quite a few big companies, governments and other entities. Please keep in mind that we still don't know how they did that. They could have just dumped the flash memory And flashed it again if 10 passcodes failed (my guess), or they might have exploited a software bug.
The point of agile is for a team to achieve the maximum possible sustainable velocity. If you're building a custom line-of-business application, a web SaaS, or shrink-wrapped productivity software then you typically want to manage it as an ongoing program with multiple releases spread over many years. So a rational manager won't burn the team out on the current release because she needs to keep the team intact to work on the next release. Whereas with most games there's very little maintenance and enhancement work after the initial release, so it might be economically rational to overwork the team in the short term even if that pace is unsustainable.
Sigh! tbh the wsj comments on this particular issue are mostly accurate, though the other issues are debatable.

1. Tsla is quite volatile.
2. If it drops significantly by some Y%, Musk's shares which are used as collateral would be called.
3. When that margin call gets triggered he'd be forced to sell X shares to meet it.
4. X is very large.
5. Since X is large, you have a ton of tsla on the market with no demand. Price will drop like a rock, by some Z%.
6. Say I and you hold Tsla shares. Obviously we are OK with a price drop of Y%, because we know the damn thing us volatile, yet we chose to buy into it because we believe in its upside.
7. But just because we are OK with Y% drop due to some macro event doesn't mean we are OK with this Z% additional drop due to the way Musk structured his personal investments.

In other words, ordinary investors could end up losing a ton of money (y + z) for no fault of their own, than if they had just lost y% which they had signed up for. Depending on what numbers you attach to y and z, you can make the case this is unfair or very unfair.
For his part, Musk claims the probability of the above is low, though definitely nonzero in today's uncertain market conditions.
Well, even if they're buying, that doesn't mean someone is selling.

If I owned an apple tree and merchants were willing to give me $5 per piece of fruit, why would I sell the tree to a farmer for $10? That's assuming that I even want the farmer to know how I grew the tree.

NEW: 24/7 Unlimited Private Language Lessons
This is a scary precedent.

From the bits I've seen of it, the Vulnerabilities Equities Process is a really great bit of government transparency, run by a group of people who understand that the best interests of different parts of the government and the citizens of the country often end up at odds. The process allows for vulnerabilities to be periodically reviewed so that the costs and benefits of not disclosing can be weighed over time, and by an at-least-somewhat independent group.

Just skipping it altogether because "we paid a contractor" completely subverts the process. What's stopping all the TLAs from simply routing all their vulns through a private third party and bypassing the VEP altogether?

I don't think the general public has this perception at all. Many of the non-tech (and tech) people I talk to hold off on updating iOS because they think it's always more buggy.

Years ago, when I saw my company had The Blue Man Group on the books as a client and they employed ~400 people I was quite surprised. Then I got to thinking about the operation, the numerous business avenues of rights management, the touring, and then it started to make sense. Personally I'd rather work for a company that can afford to expand along with demand and maintain quality rather than siphon off cash and stuff it in an investor's pocket based on short-term mentalities.

Giving up 50 cents an hour to get employee provided health care that would, if you had bought it yourself, cost way more then you'd have made seems like a reasonable choice.

This might be great for the FBI right up until they actually try to use the evidence in court. The defense attorney can claim (rightly so) that unless they can examine the unlock method to verify it doesn't tamper with any of the data on the phone, the evidence is inadmissible.

The only way the FBI will be able to use this data in court is if they turn the process over to the defense so they can have the process independently verified. Since the article states that they don't have access to the "technical details" of the hack, they have no way to prove the method doesn't manipulate the data on the device.
Yeah, it was simple enough to change and VS was already open, so I figured why not change it right away... Thanks for the kind words!
Spidler, what you show is nice, to the point documentation for human consumption. The API specification mentioned is related to things like OpenAPI Specification (http://swagger.io/specification/) or RAML (http://raml.org) which are used to model APIs in a machine readable way and then lend to automating things like documentation, SDKs or mock test servers.

This is an orthogonal issue to whether or not the API itself is publicly accessible.

For a market to exist, it must facilitate trading of things that have value. When value is lost and a market no longer possible due to the environment, is that really a restriction?

In other words, if the state placed restrictions on capital accumulation, then there wouldn't be a need to restrict the "financial industry" as such a thing would cease to exist. Just like how a fish market wouldn't be possible without any fish left on earth.

> How much value has America created since it was a colony?

The comparison to America is terrible, if you ask me. If the american continent was looking anything like Mars, people would have never settled there and the value you're talking about would be very close to zero.

If seems dishonest to me to compare mars with the American continent, especially considering that if we want to compare mars with the discovery of a whole continent, there is one that looks much more like mars : Antarctica. There is no record whatsoever of any long-term human occupation there. That has to prove that humans tend to dislike living in cold deserts.

By comparison, the american continent has been inhabited for thousands of years, and its discovery by Europeans has brought many extremely appreciated plants and animals.

What is there to bring from mars that there is not on Earth already? Apart from vast areas of rusted rocks and dust, not much, except perhaps for the possibility of fulfilling the fantasy of people who have read or watched too much science-fiction.

I mean, a settlement on mars can have value, but it will only be the value that you'll bring there. For instance if you build an hotel or casino there (as I personally believe tourism is one of the very few business models that make sense for mars), then the fact that it is on mars will not bring much more value than the intrinsic value of your hotel or casino itself.

There is a very important bit of strict aliasing that your statement misses. Yes, char* and unsigned char* can be used to access any lvalue. However, only signed/unsigned char* can be used to access a signed/unsigned char array. (Strict aliasing is defined via the dynamic type of an object, not which alias pairs are necessarily must-not-alias. Symmetry is not inherent, and in the case of char*, it is indeed not present).

They are structuring it as a dividend because they have to somehow compensate every stockholder for the change to their current shares.

I'm assuming that the details of the "capital" shares would include them receiving dividends, but this doesn't mean that Facebook would necessarily start paying a dividend, it's just a right that has at least some value.
Regulations are great for handling tragedy of the commons scenarios. Eg, it's in a single business's best interest to dump chemicals in our shared water supply, but it is in the common people's interest to have clean water. So we regulate polluting the water.

However, most regulations I encounter are more of the Baptists and Bootleggers variety. They both want highly regulated liquor for totally different reasons. Just like many large businesses are fine with extra regulations that well intentioned Do-Gooders suggest because the big businesses know it will block small innovative competitors from entering their market.

It's so frustrating to see the anti-Corporate crowd cheer for more regulations. They're just cementing their place in society.

I understand and at the same time there's one little thing I'm missing which has always mystified me about stocks:

Who sets "the price"?

I understand that if a large amount of shares appear on the market with no demand, the entity selling them will lower the price in an effort to sell them. But how does that factor into "the price" that the stock is worth across the market from any/all sellers? How is that calculated? Is it just whatever the stock last sold for?

The problem with the charter school movement is that its effectiveness is questionable. Often the charter schools attract the self-motivated or only accept certain candidates while turning others away. So the student population of these schools is generally predisposed towards educational performance.

Some of the supposedly "successful" charter schools are run at a loss, subsidized by some outside institution or special interest. Without that subsidy, their students would likely perform more poorly.

I think if you compared excellent charter schools to excellent public schools, you wouldn't see much difference between the two.

Love when people call something undemocratic just because they are against the goals of a group.

Wealthy individuals and groups have power to publish advertisements and arguments for their ideas/proposals to try to change the mind of the voters. Attempting to convince the voters your right is not undemocratic, it's the core of democracy.

Additionally, anyone who believes that the plutocracy has more power in America now than ever before is entirely ignorant of even general American history. It wasn't that long ago where there was so little regulation on business, political and police bribes so common, that the wealthy could ignore any law they wanted without any fear of reprisal.
> the first is that in order to be licensed nurses, like doctors and lawyers, have to pass an intensive test known as "boards."

Board certification is not a legal requirement in any jurisdiction I am aware of. The licensure tests and board certifications are separate, and the former is generally taken very close to when the doctor, lawyer, or nurse graduates from their program and completes their internship period.

> The second is that licensing, certification, and recertification are functions of state government, not voluntary industry guidelines.

Yes and no. State governments decide what they will recognize, but industry provides the training. Some of the shit that counts as "continuing education" for the medical profession is little better than what you get at DeVry for programmers.

That said, at least these professions have strong professional associations that birddog state licensing boards to keep the bullshit out. My original comment, in fact, was motivated by IEEE and ACM's attempts to do the same for software engineers and the way the industry seems to be laughing at their efforts.

The thing that drives me bonkers about OC and most California suburbs is the lack of town centers.

On the East Coast home buyers have started to discover that all these previously neglected walkable little colonial & 19th century towns and denser suburbs, often adjacent to rail lines, have a lot of value. The smarter municipalities have been taking the hint and zoning in denser development to grow out the town center naturally as it was intended. The east coast can start to regrow a lot of the character that was lost in the 20th century tract housing boom, and begin to resemble the old world in that way.

On the West Coast, most of the small suburban cities never had a town center to begin with. They were designed by real estate developers using standardized high-profit low-density building plans, entirely focused on cars over walking anywhere. (God forbid you live somewhere that you can walk to buy groceries!)

So you end up with these awkward community layouts where there are zero denser centers to grow out of naturally and permanently zoned that way. Nobody wants to take the plunge in having their house re-zoned and experiment with the costly home investment they're sitting on. Mixed use is still a dirty word. So no change occurs.

All that seems to be getting done lately is locking down neighborhood zoning and building fancier and fancier shopping centers. Something in this is going to change eventually, but unless people voluntarily bulldoze their houses to make room for new town plans, I can't imagine what form it will take.
Or do they get a lot of people padding their resume, then jumping ship to somewhere that compensates more fairly with work/life balance?

It's probably like any other successful company of its size... a few really hardcore people pull a lot of weight, in terms of both getting things done and defining the company's reputation, while some others just hang on for the ride.

Good management consists largely of identifying those few supercontributors and making very certain that they remain very happy.
Looks like it is Windows only. Is it likely that there will be a Mac version in the nearish future?
