They aren't legally required to provide any particular set of information to an investor. (They are, though, forbidden from mis-representation and fraud).

The investors ask for it, and if management wants the investor's money, they provide it.

Employees could easily drive the same bargain.

What about periodic updates? Investors are often board members as well as shareholders. Certain amounts of disclosure may be made to the first (depends on the by laws) and must be made to the second.

On might say that the employee is working for stock, but they really aren't: stock would be taxable income with no cash with which to pay the tax. They're really working for stock options, which are not stock. Which means the employee isn't a shareholder. So they don't get the same shareholder disclosure. This is easily fixed: exercise an option for one share. You even then have "your board member" to represent you! Or course, that's probably one of the founders (common stock), so your day-to-day experience may not change much.

In my (limited) experience with founding a company, raising angel investments, restarting it with the person who would then be CEO (the old investors were made whole) and then raising equity from outside investors in multiple rounds... the biggest problem with employee disclosure is that they are financially functionally illiterate. It's a bit burden! We chose to be fully transparent (for good or bad) where the entire sales pipeline was printed and posted every Friday, together with the balance sheet and the income statement. We summarized this with a one-weekly-tick-update on a large (and maybe grim?) "days-to-death" chart. In short -- just everybody "knew the deal". Not everybody "understood the deal", but whaddyagonna do?

As the number grew lower, people would (rationally) become concerned. Sometimes (not often) I had a line outside my door from people wanting a private session to discuss "what should I do?". And although the real answer was "Leave me alone and let me work on closing this deal", I never said that! :-)

As a person being asked to work for free ("just until we get funding!"), I can't remember the last time I was refused a chance to glance over the cap table and balance sheet.

Maybe the answer is: Just ask. If they say "no", that may be all you need to know.

the observation that "the markets are too short term focused" is not a useful starting point for a moneymaking strategy because it can be shown with a simple explanation to a layperson that it isn't even an observation, it's a myth... is where I started and where I'm going.

I don't think using terms such as convexity explains anything to anybody, but if it indicates to you that the market is too short term focused, you should just print money with a derivative security that prefers companies that lose money in the short term because that will with no effort uncover all the long term strategies...
I think paid providers can survive, but not ad backed ones. Skype has a paid offering for example and has a business platform, Hangouts has a business platform integration. Hard to do that with something like SnapChat, if you ask me. Eventually if everyone is collecting data, that data is going to become less valuable per user, so using that for valuation becomes nonsensical.
We had a similar issue – we wanted non-product people to be able to view milestones, issues, report issues, etc and the solution suggested was to create a separate repository for issues.
> Even 'cash on deposit' is invested in that the bank loans it out.

If you combine this with the fact that banks work on fractional reserves, then there'd end up being infinite money... but there isn't because it's not true. Of course banks _do_ give out loans, but they're not at 100%. And there are capital limits and the like...

Look at Japan. Why do you think the central bank is at negative interest rates is because banks aren't loaning out money. Or they are but companies aren't spending the money, which basically comes out to the same thing, minus a credit subsidy.

I think if you dig deeper into this problem, you'll find both that there's a decent inflow into banks that don't have corresponding outflow.
I don't cry often. But a common types of cry I have is in narratives when someone achieves something.

The intercooler.js example seems to be iterating over the results, building up a string of <tr> items, and then appending the string to the DOM?

Yeah, React is for stuff where you never want to do that... it's for when you write your table rendering stuff once, and then just change/update the data.

React also holds the entire UI state as data, things like: what information is typed in the text box, when to clear the text box, whether the checkbox is checked. The intercooler.js example seems to have a technique for showing a processing indicator based on an ID, so their approach to this kinda thing seems to be more 'implicit'. React doesn't have any UI-level abstractions like that, so you do have to implement things like that yourself. (Edit: I looked at the intercooler homepage and it's a specialized AJAX library, which explains what's going on in their example.)

Even if I accept what you write that I misunderstand type theory...you do understand the difference between theory and practice, right? And that I didn't write about type theory, but about empirical effects that are independent of the theory.

Let me explain it to you: if I claim that I have a new car that goes 200mph, and you measure the speed and it only does 20mph max, then it really isn't relevant whether you understand the theory behind your engine or not, it's simply not as fast as claimed.

Or do you mean that anyone who doesn't accept claims about benefits at face value "doesn't understand". That sounds more like a religion than anything having to do with science and engineering. Which is, sadly, my experience with this particular cult.

This is interesting, but it seems like it would appeal to a different demographic than HN. If you're younger and have highly desired skills in the market, the numbers just don't add up for this. However if you're older and concerned that a layoff might leave you out of work for multiple months, it could make sense.

Just playing with some numbers, if you work in "Information" in California and make $100k, you're looking at just over $100/month in payments according to their calculator. Say you get laid off two years from now, you would have paid $2,400 for the insurance. Payments don't kick in for two weeks, and only add $511/week over what normal unemployment would give you, so you would have to remain out of work for 7ish weeks to break even.

After that, the performance overhead was pretty small on all benchmarks and websites I tested: Kraken and Octane are less than 1% slower with W^X enabled. On (ancient) SunSpider the overhead is bigger, because most tests finish in a few milliseconds, so any compile-time overhead is measurable. Still, it's less than 3% on Windows and Linux. On OS X it's less than 4% because mprotect is slower there.
The further breakdown is more revealing:

What's the FSF's position on this, I wonder. The whole premise of the GPL as opposed to the LGPL is that even dynamic linking creates a derived work.

If someone creates a completely drop-in replacement for readline (I don't know if libedit and kin are drop-in or not) and releases it under a BSD license, there's no way to distinguish my app linking against one vs the other, I'm simply making use of the API in the abstract.

This isn't exactly the same as the Java case, but the copyright status of APIs per-se sure seems to have implication for the GPL's teeth.
I'm not a fan of lock-in at all but if Oculus don't make money selling the hardware and can't expect a high chance of sales from their store then how are they suppose to make money? Is their whole business model based on purchases from the Oculus store?

I think this is an oversimplification. "Code is data" means several things:

1. Both use the same ASCII representation to humans (homoiconity)

2. Lisp Macros operate using data traversal functions

3. You can load and eval code on the fly

Really only #3 is invalidated under Arduino constraints. #1 is the source at rest and #2 is compile-time.

I finished my ruby 'bootcamp' in 2014 and the two < 6 month Rails API jobs I've held have been rather shitty. So I don't feel this invincibility. For me, it's more been a process of realizing the bootcamp ads are, well ... ads. And I'd bet that Rubyists are probably majority bootcamp grads. I'll groan and admit a defeated sigh.
I've worked at both FB (monorepo) and Amazon (massively federated repo where you only check out tiny slices at a time; a huge package dependency system pulls things together), and I can testify that monorepo is great, and federated repo with dependencies-via-packaging is awful. It's slower to work with, harder to coordinate wide scale changes, slower to work with, the cognitive load is much higher, and it's slower to work with. Did I mention it's higher friction and slower to work with?
That neighbor's tumor type could still well be incurable, but palliative care and pain management have improved significantly since then.
It effectively is a fine, but it's not a criminal penalty, so it's kind of like an opt-out fee that's significantly cheaper than most of the supposedly affordable plans. (Which are extremely expensive even at the low-end where they're completely useless with $10,000 deductibles.)
The amount of surface area you would need to have underground to expose the air to would be tremendous. The reason heat exchangers work is because they substantially concentrate the heat (or the 'cold'), reducing the surface area needed.

No, let's skip technical details and your opinion about frameworks as code sharing primitive and get back to your words. You literally claimed that while Wil made money "leaning heavily on some of the most well-designed frameworks in the industry", he said "frameworks are bullshit".

This isn't true: he said that people shouldn't use a specific way of sharing code in OS X, not that "frameworks are bullshit". He even said that "Apple's shared frameworks are very useful for sharing executable code and its associated resources among multiple applications". He also praises Cocoa, the framework, and many other frameworks created by Apple.

So, yes, you did misrepresent Wil's opinion, and you should take your words back.
Yes, but you're not stack ranking in only teams of 10. You're stack-ranking 10 teams of ten. Out of 100 people, I can probably find 10% who are duds vs. their peers, but they might you might have teams with 2+ low performers.

Surprised to see so much negative feedback. I agree that clear responsibility is important, and that adding multiple assignees when those people share similar responsibilities could lead to the bystander effect.

I'm really excited about this feature. I feel like "If only GitHub Issues allowed multiple assignees" comes up in conversations with colleagues at least a couple times a month.

For context, the design (and development) team I work with uses GitHub Issues religiously. Right now all issues that need design work are explicitly assigned to a designer, and we use a label based workflow combined with Codetree to help organize weekly sprints. Having multiple assignees will allow us to explicitly assign a product manager to each of these issues w/o having to take it out of each designer's sprint, which will help make sure all design tasks receive feedback and move forward in a timely manner.
Naked mole rats aren't even rats, per se - they are the only species in its genus and the only known eusocial mammal. (I wonder if E. O. Wilson studied them?)
While that might be true purely from a legal standpoint, it just doesn't make much sense logically. Let's compare it to something like a gas stove. If you turn the stove on with a bunch of combustible stuff around it and then walk away for ten minutes and your house burns down as a result, that's pretty obviously your own fault. However, if you turn the stove on with just a normal pot of water on top, walk away for ten minutes, and it self destructs and burns your house down, what would you think? Is it your fault for not standing there with a giant fire extinguisher, or is it the stove company's fault for making a poorly QA'd product? I think Tesla's Autopilot feature is a lot more like the latter example than the former.

bullshit.

Fancier models and the like might get you a 20% relative reduction in errors, but no one is hiding under their hat research that gets them 75% relative reduction in errors. (which may not sound like a huge difference, but a good rule of thumb is that every 10% relative reduction will be equally hard, so, 75% relative reduction is ~ 13 times as much work as 10% relative reduction)

Let's make the question as hard as possible: The child dies a lingering, painful death and the child despairs.

The annoying bit is that the Christian answer to this question sucks from a rational viewpoint - we humans cry out for our own justice against this God that allows such suffering.

Just be mindful before you assume that Christians are completely crazy, that for from our viewpoint God suffers as well - not only does he love this child, but he also died for this child - in order that all of us could be drawn to him.

The Christian term for this suffering is his "passion" - in that he longs to be with each and every one of us as an individual.
