I'm not 100% familiar with it yet, but there is some code where anyone on the losing side of a majority vote can opt to fork the DAO and retain their original tokens with all investments, instead of going along with the group (similar idea to a Bitcoin hard fork). This prevents someone with 51% ownership voting to send 100% of the assets to themselves.

The very short article had a link to a large BPO company as an 'in association with' at the side of the page.

But the page didn't load well, so re-loaded.

The same article had a link another large BPO company (competitor to the first), also as a 'in association with' at the side of the page.

If working for a consultancy in a BPO role, it is very likely late 20s is the worst time of your life. Graduate, join a big name, and then pin-holed into a tiny-tiny role doing a repetitive job in an extremely hierarchical organisation where career progression is slow not for anyone, but everyone, as verticals in the organisation prevent diversification.

To quote Adam Smith, often quoted regarding the brilliance of pin-production and need for specialisation, but having far greater insight into the consequences of such production methods, now done by ERP and email:

> The man whose whole life is spent in performing a few simple operations generally becomes as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human creature to become. The torpor of his mind renders him not only incapable of relishing or bearing a part in any rational conversation, but of conceiving any generous, nobdle, or tender tentiment, and consequently of forming any just judgement concerning many even of the orginary duties of private life.

> The rude state of husbandry which preceeds the improvement of manufactures, and the extention of foreign commerce. In such societies, the varied occupations of evey man oblige evey man to exert his capacity, and to invent expendients for removing difficulties which are continually occurring.

Stephen Schwarzman and Blackstone: Wall Street's Unstoppable Force
The study may have flaws (as all do), but it's a whole lot more conclusive than a claim such as "Stoned drivers are a lot safer than drunk ones, new federal data show", a statement obviously trying to imply that marijuana is somehow safe for drivers, when it's obviously not.

One could compare marijuana-related accidents to any number of other dangerous activities and make it look safe in comparison.

Why try and encourage something that is clearly dangerous and irresponsible? This article (especially the headline) is incredibly dangerous and misleading, as it's apparently trying to get people to respond with something like "see, marijuana doesn't harm anyone," when in reality, it does.
I'd like to feel like people would be ethically and morally motivated to make efforts to do the right thing rather than expect to be rewarded for doing the right thing. Perhaps it is how I was raised, but it seems weird to me that I would turn in a lost wallet with expectation to get something back out of it. This so-called "custom" is not my custom. It actually seems very childish, where one is still in the phase of learning the importance of taking care of their neighbor.

Amazon is one of the most frugal companies I know, penny-pinching is built into their DNA and one of the reasons IMO they're not a pleasant place to work. Amazon actively chooses to invest every cent they make into expansion (with great results) instead of hoarding profit.

That's a huge difference to most companies mentioned in the article that essentially sell $10 bills on the street corner for $9: "Oh, another flyer for a free meal delivery service, why thank you VC-man for paying for my lunch once again. No, I will not ever pay for your service."

You want to hear an insane story about why we need teachers' unions?

This neighbor of mine was a teacher for 45 years, starting back in the 1940's. She found her first job in a little town and found a nice apartment for $45/month. The school superintendent heard about it. He called her and told her she had to rent an attic with another new teacher because there's a widow in town whose only source of income was renting to teachers. If she refused to live there, they'd fire her. The attic cost $100/month ($50 each) even though it was smaller than the apartment.

The headline is simply a lie. The study basically showed that you cannot measure whether someone is stoned by testing their blood for THC. The blood test only proves they were stoned at some point in the past few weeks.

The study did not show that it's safe to drive while stoned, and if you read the entire article they're fairly clear about that.
Comparing to past theoretical entry points to buying Apple is irrelevant. I'm not sure why all of us didn't invest in Apple 10 years ago! Oh, it's because it's easier to predict the last 10 years than the next ten years. Just because investing 10 years ago would have been great, it doesn't mean that in 10 years time a 2016 investment in Apple won't also look great.

Because it's many times faster (~4x faster with small files, ~20x faster with large files), very easy to set up, and tiny (which has a significant impact on CI – it's very quick to install). It also generates leaner code, and doesn't rewrite the parts that don't need to be transpiled, so your style/formatting is preserved.

"Just over 3 percent of U.S. doctors said they have written a prescription for life-ending medication, according to an anonymous survey published in The New England Journal of Medicine in 1998. Almost 5 percent of doctors reported giving a patient a lethal injection."

That seemed really high, given that most physicians aren't in relevant specialties. Clicking through to the article, it actually says: "The sample was drawn from 10 specialties, selected on the basis of previous surveys as those in which physicians are likely to receive requests from patients for assistance in hastening death." Further, it was clear that there were self-selection biases in the responses.

For multiple domains, you have to validate each one separately via the webroot method unless they are all getting served from the same webroot.

If it is all the same webroot, then yes, add them all to the domains variable.

If different webroots you might need to use the command line, which lets you run

--w /x/y/z -d example1.com --w /a/b/c -d example2.com

in one command. I'm not sure how to make that work in the configuration file, though I'm sure there's a way.

Expect the same fate for many more tech companies.

Although not many people realize, tech is a _mature_ sector of the U.S. economy now - it grows at about 3% a year, pretty much in line with GDP. But the perception is different - just ask your friends - and the reason for this is that there are highly visible _pockets of growth_, like Uber/SpaceX/name-your-favorite-unicorn, and people often extrapolate their growth to the rest of the industry.

Now what happens with many tech companies is that they often have a product with exceptional margins and double-digit growth rate, and it makes sense to invest all the available resources into it - better from ROIC perspective - ignoring all the alternatives which either lack volume or high margin to look attractive. This inevitably leads to problems once your exceptional product stops growing, and you realize you have barely invested in anything else.

Just much like Intel with x86 and ARM chips, or Qualcomm, or EMC, or RIM, ... - the list goes on and on.

Even when you look at Google, most of their resources are invested into search/ad business, so when that's stops growing - or, rather, they got all the share from the TV and start growing at a GDP rate - they will be in the same boat.

Edit: typos.
Yeah, the whole type-c thing is a mess.

It feels like there was too many cooks involved this time round, trying to make the USB spec go in multiple directions at once.

Where before port and speeds were joined in one spec, now you have no less than 3 specs that can be mixed as the device OEM sees fit.

First is the 3.1 data spec, that can work on both A and C plugs.

then you have the C plug spec, that as you point out do not require 3.1 data.

Then there is the Power Delivery spec, that is all about turning USB into a generic power delivery cable. And that again can be used with both A and C plugs, and with any and all data speeds.

My point is: They're getting this data by doing drug tests of drivers in fatal car crashes after the crash has occurred. Previously, 8% of those drivers had cannabis detected. Now, 17% have it detected.

What evidence is there that the increased cannabis use is causing these crashes, considering you have to control for the fact that more people in general are using cannabis, so in almost any population (drivers in fatal car crashes; fast food employees; school teachers; whatever) you could expect to see an increase in use.
It is much harder for investors to do their homework on private companies, because (as described in TFA) many private companies selectively disclose metrics that paint them in a positive light. And there are no requirements or standardized metrics of disclosure.

I think this is why regulators are concerned about the steep drop in "startups" going public. You have these huge companies with enormous valuations, and they arent subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements that regulators have designed for public companies...

The most ridiculous recent example was Morgan Stanley marketing Uber to high net worth individuals. [0] Potential investors were not even allowed to see the financials! You just had to take Morgan Stanley's word for it that the valuation was "reasonable".

Then I realized that a driving mistake has the best odds of causing such a thing. It's crazy how many don't take such a high-responsibility task seriously, texting, drinking, smoking while driving.
The existing ARM fabrication market is very balkanized. Presumably if Intel had dived in with both feet, they would have been able to dominate it using their incredible aptitude for iterating process technology.

There is certainly that third path though, where Intel embraced fabrication, then regretted it.

Easy to call it idiotic today, after twenty years of evolution, but it's a little silly to do so. The windows API was written in C, and as such they needed some way to accommodate multiple dispatch in the message loop using statically typed parameters. That same entry point handled literally hundreds of different message types for every operation in the system. From my perspective it was pretty well designed for its time.

I found this quote to be one of particular interest.

“I couldn’t see it. It wasn’t one of these things you can make up on volume. And in hindsight, the forecasted cost was wrong and the volume was 100x what anyone thought.”

…and, perhaps more importantly:

“The lesson I took away from that was, while we like to speak with data around here, so many times in my career I’ve ended up making decisions with my gut, and I should have followed my gut. My gut told me to say yes.”

I personally love data,facts,hard science, but I find too often many can ignore gut feelings. I almost always follow my gut instinct, It has proven itself to me over and over again even while taking what is often perceived as long shots but somehow my gut tells me "you got this".

In particular I would say gather your own data on how often or not your gut instinct is correct and use that as a data point in addition to the hard science, facts etc.

Instinct evolved to keep you alive, it is often wise to not ignore it.

How Should Deadlines Be Used in Software Engineering?
Many are focussing on the 12,000 number. Many forget Intel has acquired a whole bunch of companies over the past few years including McAfee, Altera etc. Now mix in a change in strategy, you find yourself with a bunch of people you no longer need. Redundancy of services like HR, IT, test, design, management etc along with another class of engineers whose skill set you no longer need in your new direction.

Organizations continue to evolve and change direction. I am not saying leadership has not failed spectacularly in mobile, but some of the 12,000 jobs are a natural progression of acquisitions.
It seems to really be the strategy that was discussed early on for Google+ which was hampered by the existence of a special G+ app and, moreso, the need for an "enhanced" G+ account: the social layer is tying together existing Google accounts and products, with added social functionality both in the individual products and in new products which tie them together in new ways.

Even FB has given up the "one app to rule them all" approach to social, and Google was never very good at that.
Institutional investment managers are required to disclose their investments. In this case it's called a 13F.

WhatsApp stops you from getting caught in dragnets and requires someone to explicitly target you, with an actual cost for the attacker - when the malicious app is detected, the vulnerabilities it uses will be patched, requiring new ones to be found or bought. The more people targeted, the greater the odds of detection. So, while every single person is pretty much as vulnerable as ever, as a population this is still a big improvement.
