> At what point does the addition of parameters and particles break through from "yet another particle we expected" to "this is completely unexpected and we need to seriously modify our understanding".

I don't think a shift like this is precipitated by exceeding some limit on free parameters. It's precipitated by a new discovery not fitting with current models. When the Higgs was discovered, it was just a confirmation of what the SM already predicted; it filled in another free parameter in the SM (the Higgs mass, which had only been roughly estimated before), but it didn't point the way to any new, more fundamental model. This new evidence, if it pans out, does point the way to some new, hopefully more fundamental model, because it's something that isn't included in our current models. That is true even if it has no effect at all on the number of free parameters in our theories.

(Btw, the 26 free parameters in the SM sounds like a lot, but since it includes all of the fundamental interactions except gravity, those 26 are really just a collection of all the free parameters from previous theories of those same interactions. For example, the mass and charge of the electron were already free parameters in electrodynamics, so the SM didn't add them on out of nowhere.)

Also, as I've commented already, the SM has been understood to be incomplete for several decades. Everybody already expects that there will have to be a significant shift in our understanding when we go to the next level down. We just don't know what that shift will be, because up to now we've had no experimental data on the question. Now we might finally be getting some.
> it will negatively affect the co-workers who have previously worked for low wage and equity.

No. The CEO's actions negatively affected your co-workers, not yours. Do you suppose if you don't report this that life will become wonderful for them, that they'll suddenly get millions of dollars from their equity in a company that can't pay its employees? That seems very, very unlikely to me. And if the situation is this precarious, than any nudge could break the company.

Definitely get a lawyer. Ethically, though, you have no reason at all to feel bad about reporting them. You'd be doing the right thing.
No, I did not count my labor. It is true that capex and opex of mining gear is well-known and can be calculated so as to be profitable in and of itself. However knowing how to manage all the other costs (labor + capex on the DC itself) is what distinguish good mining companies from bad ones. IMHO these areas is where KnCMiner made the biggest mistakes. Just compare a picture of a KnCMiner DC vs. a Chinese DC and you will see KnCMiner did not try hard to build cheap DCs...

Ask HN: React and Node tutorial?
I'm trying to learn web development with Node and React, but I'm lost.

Being a beginner, I can't seem to find a tutorial that I can follow. There's always mention of things like Grunt, Gulp, Webpack, Bower, Browserify, ES6, JSX, Babel... all of which I don't know much about.

So my question is: do you have any tips on where to start, something like a roadmap?

>The collection doesn't do you any harm

This kind of thinking sickens me. So you would be fine with me rampaging through your room and your house looking over your stuff, making a catalog of the things you own, the things you buy, what you do with them, at what hours, and how often, watching you eat, work, play, sleep, be with your friends, taking notes on who you speak to, at what hours, and about what...

Since, as you say, this doesn't do you any harm?
I think you're off by an order of magnitude.

10TB == 10,000GB == 10,000,000MB

10Mbit == 1.25MB

10000000/(1.25 * 60 * 60 * 24) = 92.6 days

Time to upload is probably not a problem, you gradually add to it over time. Time to download all the data in the event of a disaster is the bigger issue. There aren't a lot of use cases where you'd need all the data back ASAP but if you have such a case, don't rent this storage.

Assuming your premises are true (Microsoft is done, LinkedIn is done), this isn't evidence for a bubble. The stock of these two companies could be priced perfectly right for their current and potential profits, and yet they might also be doomed. This might indicate (again, given your premises) that Microsoft is looking to find new sources of revenue, which would result in raising their stock price.

By saying this indicates a bubble means you think LinkedIn and Microsoft are overvalued in some way. Whether or not that's true, this particular move isn't evidence of being overvalued.

What a shitty article. First of all, the excesses presented in December are more noteworthy because they demonstrated how much information flows between the supposedly "independent" general experiments. In December the global CMS excess (the one that matters) was 1.2 sigma, but heyoo a little bird told us ATLAS sees a 2 sigma global excess at the same place so into the slides it goes! So much for independence...

Since then there was an update in march where ATLAS still sees a global significance of 2 sigma and CMS is down below 1. Local significances are up though CMS has pushed their 2.6 to 2.8, and ATLAS has gotten their 3.6 sigma into 3.9 (Both have also added a new model for interpreting this, I'm just giving the largest sigma values reported). The reason improvement is so modest is because there hasn't been any new data on account of the LHC being set in the "off" position.

Anyway, the reason the OP article is such crap is that it doesn't mention any details about the rumour it is so clearly based on. Perusing more technical rumourmongers I find a mention of a 4.7 sigma excess in an ATLAS analysis that wasn't approved in time for the big conference in March. So if the article is based on that rumour, it is about three months old by now. But we can't tell, since the author wusses out on even saying what detector will "CRACK PARTICLE PHYSICS WIDE OPEN"... -_-

Well, you can always not upgrade, or purchase a phone that has a 3.5mm jack. If enough people feel the same, manufacturers will continue to produce compatible products.

Haskell is non-standard and significantly different from everything else. Even if you ignore subjective qualities of the language, it takes some amount of initiative and self-selection to pick Haskell up at all, while lots of people are funneled into languages like Java, JavaScript, C#, Python by default. For example, relatively few universities (and presumably no bootcamps!) teach it at all, while it's hard to avoid programs that strongly feature Java and Python.

More generally, it makes sense for the sort of people who make non-mainstream choices to be qualitatively different from many who do go with the mainstream.

The continued availability of DRM-free music (just as we had before they first tried to introduce DRM) might be viewed as a temporary setback – I don't think they gave up their DRM push because they were suddenly convinced by the philosophical arguments, but rather because there was too much market resistance.

I've just bought one of the new iPhone SE models specifically because it still has a 3.5mm jack as well as 20% better battery life than the large iPhone 6 models it shares its internals with.

I used MPlayer and VLC as an example of good development. You then say that if they had been developed the way I describe, they would not exist. But they were in fact developed the way I described. And they are not imaginary. And there is no free software monopoly on video players (not coincidentally because free software was designed to kill monopolies in the first place). If you can somehow re-state this incredibly convoluted argument maybe we can re-address it, but i'm pretty sure you only reinforced my point.
I agree that this is a problem, I don't think this will solve it. Of the three reforms, the first one is basically "Force your company to be organized this way" which is not a real reform, just a filter in terms of what companies will be listed on the exchange. The 2nd reform: if companies share more information on expenditures (especially on R&D) it's just going to make public money more anxious. The third reform: Maybe, but it's hardly different than how companies like Google and FB are set up to ensure their founders never lose control so why bother?
As you mentioned lack of depth is the larger one, but also the rate at which they add new content is not exactly great. Lastly they tend to reuse the same author's for certain subjects which creates a lack of diversity in the teaching. These last two are common to both Lynda and Pluaralsight. At $25.00 and $30.00/month this is one of the highest priced subscription services on the internet and as such you would expect much more from them.
Good! I can't abide foley. Nature documentaries are ruined by it. A tiny ant eating a leaf, accompanied by horrible sounds of plastic-wrap being twisted.

Research and Applied AI Conference in London: Playfair AI Summit 2016
To put it even more straightforwardly, there's no economically sound reason to believe a firm which chooses to write its corporate governance rules in a certain way wouldn't perform at least as well on the NASDAQ as on a special exchange designed for the purpose.[1]

If enough funds believe that shorter term traders are undervaluing a particular NASDAQ stock because they've become so caught up in profit warnings they've missed the long term potential of its R&D, they pile in and pump the price back up again. If there aren't enough investors that believe a particular firm's long term strategy more than justifies conservative short term forecasts and a profit warning due to unanticipated increases in the research budget on NASDAQ, they won't be found on a LTSE either. It's not like the public markets are niche arenas that contrarian investors don't get involved with

[1]There's one possible non-economic reason. If existing exchanges' [but not SEC] rules prevent firms from issuing extra information pertaining to their long term research and development or restrict executive bonuses, then there is a point to doing this; afaik they don't.

No, but it can be a valid method of signaling acceptance where the other requirements for a valid contract exists.

As I said, the absence of specificity on salary may be problematic to the existence of the contract (or not; whether the salary conditions agreed to as described are specific enough in the circumstances is potentially a tricky question even with a known jurisdiction, and there's been no specification of where this agreement occurred and what law it would be governed by), and the absence of payment of wages is quite likely a breach if a contract exists (but probably immaterial to whether a contract exists in the first place.)

An MBA doesn't really confer any skills that couldn't be acquired from 6 months of actually working/managing at your target company - it's seen as more of a networking tool, and a way for someone to hit the reset button and shift into a different field, or to get a raise within a traditional consulting/corporate migration path.

So I have to agree with DelaneyM that the crux of the issue is demand-side: where is the need for specific managerial jobs that require a baseline technical understanding (to estimate timelines, speak intelligently about the product with clients, etc.) as well as basic business skills (negotiation, project management, strong network for potential clients) that is worth the salary that an individual who just invested $200k and 2 years worth of time will be asking?
