My above comment is incomplete when it comes to this point; that implication is not actually the case here.

Normally this is in fact not the case, because the acquirer has some sort of strategic reason behind their purchase that they believe will boost the value of the asset aside from simply operating the company as it had planned on doing prior to the acquisition. For instance, Silverlake/Dell is in the process of buying EMC - Dell/Silverlake believe that strategically, a combined Dell/EMC (or "Dell Technologies") is worth more than both companies on their own - but it's Silverlake/Dell/bond holder's cash that will make this happen. Therefor it's not realistic for current EMC shareholders to simply claim the value of EMC should be higher on its own because the purchase relies on operating synergies between Dell and EMC.

The Dell buyout by Silverlake is completely different, because throughout the sales process, it was clear that Michael Dell and Silverlake were not going to do anything to alter Dell's operational plan - that is, everything that Michael Dell and Silverlake were going to do to the company while private is pretty much exactly what the plan was had Dell remained public. So the judge decided to rule that Silverlake must have valued Dell at approximately what he ruled them to be. The case would be very different if Michael Dell/Silverlake were taking the company private and making major strategic changes to its businesses (shareholders could still sue, but the line of reasoning from the judge would be different).

It's not difficult, it's actually impossible. And any system relying on the reliability of that would be broken by design.

> let alone string that into a distributed system that must make CAP tradeoffs

No. Distributed systems and "CAP tradeoffs" actually exist to solve the problem above with predictable certainty.
This came up in the wherein discussion. Should it be legal for 50%+ to see over the rest? Should minority owners have any other recourse?

I get that this isn't a democratic government where we have to guarantee full protection under the law for an individual but what I'd the 51% decides the sale price should be 1picodollar per share and then the new owner awards the 51% with shares effectively giving back their ownership? I imagine this won't happen in real life but just as a thought experiment... should it be OK?

Hi Jesse! We got an audit from you last year (I was the one who pushed to get you to specifically look at our PaaS containerization). As a result I spent a while wrangling with Ubuntu LXC unprivileged containers, and now I know more about cgmanager than I wanted to.

Glad to see you've added a lot of detail to your research. It's very necessary!
That's a justifiable sentiment when people are complaining about missing features or mundane bugs, but security vulnerabilities are a whole different matter. That's causing harm, not just failing to provide value. You're still allowed to complain about a mugging you didn't pay for, after all.

The largest users of anti-depressants are socialist style nations like Iceland, Australia, and Portugal. These countries are run almost the opposite of the US. So there's more than the usual liberal criticisms of how the US is too competitive/not competitive enough or has too easy access to drugs/not enough or whatever applies here.

>North Americans to find pseudo-biological justification about everything.

Yet the above nations are nowhere near N America. Perhaps this issue is a lot complex than you care to understand. I guess if you want ad-impresions then you must cater to people's ignorance and biases and leave any facts, science, or statistics out of it.
"It’s not that theory should be as simple as possible. But it is true that we can often make a lot more progress than you’d think when we simplify things in slightly absurd ways."

Sociologists insisting on greater nuance in new theories is analogous to archaeologists demanding that more detritus be thrown on the artifacts they are carefully attempting to reveal.

In any area of thought, premature nuance is the root of all evil. First find the simplest thing that works. You will get all the nuance you could wish for as your original clear idea inevitably branches out into a combinatorial explosion of edge cases and qualifications. Eventually, some vivid idea may unify all of this complication, but this will only come about if you value simplicity in the first place. Certainly complexity is a distinctive characteristic of any mature area of thought, but this comes about as an emergent side effect of exploring it. If you are content to wallow in complexity, even to the point of seeing it as desirable and a sign of sophistication, then you will neither search for nor find that unifying idea.
Building infrastructure isn't unskilled labor so can't be used as a basic job.

Let's take some mothers who need to provide for their children and give them jobs digging ditches and filling them back in, then pay some strangers to watch their children while they're doing it. Might it be better to allow mothers to be paid when they take care of their own children?

Or, lets have one mother watch 4 children - her own and those of 3 strangers. This is a common arrangement in most of the world. Are Americans just somehow less capable than Indians, Mexicans, Peruvians and South Africans?

Please specify what part of the calculations you find unrealistic.

That's wild, I didn't expect any security-centric website in 2016 to be HTTP-only! The reasoning for not doing it is weird too, they could at the very least move the update logic over to a separate SSL endpoint.

Programming is a craft, game programming even more so. Passion runs high; people will work longer and harder for less money than at other jobs. The competition in the workplace and in the market is intense.

Willful moderation can never be applied systemically in this industry. There are two ways out: 1) six sigma industrial engineering type management of your processes, and 2) lucking into a clever idea that's not hard to implement. 1) leads to a safe, if well-loved, game. 2)is great of course, like in the way that hoping you'll win the lottery is great.

Might be tempted to add a 3) de-risking by middleware, but all that does is raise the bar for everyone. Good for consumers, not helpful for devs.

My opinions are based on working in the game industry for ~6 years, with months of 100 hour weeks under my belt. Stressed to the point of bleeding out of random parts of my body.

Agreed.

There's a recurring theme with drugs that mixing X and alcohol is dangerous.

Don't get me wrong, I like good wine, craft beer, and liquor. But the common link is generally the "and alcohol" part. It seems pretty clear alcohol is a remarkably dangerous drug, just normalized by social use.
Pivotal | Software Engineer, Distributed Systems | Portland, OR | onsite

Pivotal is looking for a few great engineers to join our GemFire/Apache Geode engineering team. Apache Geode (currently in incubation) is a distributed, in-memory, and transactional datastore designed to provide very high throughput with predictable latency. GemFire is built on Apache Geode and is deployed throughout the world by demanding customers serving mission-critical applications in financial, telecommunications, retail, and transportation industries.

You have a passion for large distributed systems to manage data on a massive scale. You love building highly concurrent systems that are also fault tolerant and extremely reliable. You follow current trends in topics such as stream processing and in-memory computing. You’d really like to believe there’s a way to defy the CAP theorem and get consistency, availability, and partition tolerance all in the same system (even if no one else has managed to do that yet). Above all, you love shipping software as a member of a collaborative team.

At Pivotal, our mission is to enable customers to build a new class of applications, leveraging big and fast data, and do all of this with the power of cloud-independence. Pivotal’s offering includes the Big Data Suite, the most complete approach to enterprise data lakes and advanced analytics; Pivotal Cloud Foundry, the industry leading Platform as a Service product; and world leading ultra-agile application development through Pivotal Labs. Open source is an important part of our strategy. Many of our products are already open source; those that are not will be soon.

The GemFire/Apache Geode engineering team at Pivotal tackles challenges that come with massively parallel distributed systems operating at extreme scale to achieve incredibly low latency transactions. We delve into areas like stream processing, query optimization, parallel function execution, scalable distributed data structures, fault-tolerance paradigms, and peer-to-peer messaging. Here at Pivotal you'll be working on hard problems with a collaborative team, accelerating your growth as an engineer.

"Received response from Dominik Reichl: The vulnerability will not be fixed. The indirect costs of switching to HTTPS (like lost advertisement revenue) make it a inviable solution."

Well the indirect costs of not fixing it just got a lot bigger. Now a lot of people will realize that their passwords are not as safe as KeePass claims they are and will switch to a different product. So this way they loose both their money and their users' trust. Not a very good business decision.
It supports that kind of error handling too,

let (result, err) = something()

Uber seeks ML Enggs|Southbay|Full Time
https://www.uber.com/careers/list/15108/

We’re presently seeking people with these qualities to join Uber's Map Automation subteam, a team that uses our extensive imagery and trace data for mapping applications to build data pipelines that extract valuable bits of information from imagery and GPS data in order to optimize and augment maps. This will have a direct impact on both riders and drivers by helping them connect faster and more efficiently. We are looking for a seasoned software engineer who has a solid grasp of machine learning theory and statistical inference - someone who is able to whiteboard some theory while at the same time is able to roll up his/her sleeves and get coding. We expect the person to be able to read and understand research papers and be able to translate the ideas into efficient code. We also expect the person to be data oriented - i.e. be able to set up experiments to measure things that will in turn drive decisions.

Successful candidates should have:

Strong programming skills in either Java, C++, or Python
Experience with developing big-data processing pipelines over Hadoop or similar technologies.
Experience with developing systems for detection, recognition, classification, entity-matching, etc.
Experience with machine learning/statistical inferencing technologies such as random forests, deep nets., Bayesian nets, etc.
Experience in mapping, or computational geometry is a plus.
A Ph.D. in a quantitative field preferred but not required.

Passive voice is merely a form of speech. It’s not blanket-wrong. It serves to diminish the actor, which can be a legitimate choice.

“He was diagnosed with flu” is passive voice, and appropriate, because the diagnoser is not important. We care more about the flu than the doctor.

“Mistakes were made” is evasive and serves to obscure, and should be avoided.
