The apparent liberalness of Scotland is largely just rhetorical opposition to the rest of the UK's policies. On actual policy issues (e.g. appropriate level of welfare) Scotland polls much like the rest of the UK. Of course they to some extent would prefer European masters to English ones. However they also spent a long time convincing themselves of the feasability of a much deeper divorce, so they probably did not buy into the economic doom stories.

Apparently the low oil price has banished the prospect of Scottish independence for now at least.

> The very public example of zach holman and other articles creates chilling effects on startup hiring.

fwiw, this post has really bothered me a lot too. I keep track of companies with >90 day windows, and I just added a note about a16z portfolio companies on it: https://github.com/holman/extended-exercise-windows#vcs

This may be good for a16z's bottom line, but I think it's important for those of us actually doing the work that we talk about how this has that chilling effect on hiring. We're still early in the process — not many startup workers really understand this yet — but I think we're moving in the right direction.
That Remain pulled ahead is somewhat irrelevant though. That seems to be mostly due to London reporting in, which was always expected to vote Remain. What's relevant (for this model at least) is whether the results are higher or lower than predicted per area.
They are incredibly similar movements. I think we're confronting the leading edge of disgruntlement as the working class is displaced by technology, globalization, and cheap immigrant labor. Immigrants become the scapegoat when it's really more complex than that. But the defenders of remaining an open society have a hard time explaining how they would fix these. Tech and urban elites have generally done well in this new world.

In the Netherlands and Germany I've seen traffic jams develop due to drivers slowing down to observe an accident on the other lane. I know this is illegal to do in both countries, but it doesn't keep anyone doing so. I've never been able to not slow down myself because the laws of physics didn't allow me to pass through the observers. Stricter and more expensive ticketing might help.
There's a lot of odd insinuations and expectations in this piece. I found particularly strange the part where he talks about his joy in talking communist politics in Berkeley and then immediately muses about how to make these skills 'marketable' and about his resentment that he might not be rewarded with a comfortable bourgeois middle-class existence. Feels like there are a lot of unstated assumptions and arguments behind his opinions and actions which he never makes explicit or considers.

I stand corrected - that wasn't a Monnet quote but a summary of his position by a contemporary.

Monnet actually said:

"Via money Europe could become political in five years" and "… the current communities should be completed by a Finance Common Market which would lead us to European economic unity. Only then would … the mutual commitments make it fairly easy to produce the political union which is the goal."

From [0]:
"I typically discourage companies from allowing option exercises by means of a promissory note. Promissory notes can provide employees a means of exercising options and starting their capital gains holding periods without coming up with cash. However, the promissory notes must be substantially full recourse to start the capital gains holding period, which creates a real obligation for the employee even if the stock eventually becomes worthless. A bankruptcy trustee might attempt to collect on a full recourse note in the event the company goes bankrupt. Full recourse means that the note is a general obligation of the employee, as opposed to recourse being limited to the stock purchased in the event of default."

Commissions don't align interests very well (real estate, cars, etc.) because you have a much greater incentive to increase your turnover and number of clients than to get a slightly higher price for one sale.

Investment banks often have to make guarantees about selling all of the shares, and the worst thing that can happen for them is to have a broken IPO (shares close below the open price). The investment bank that led Facebook's IPO had to buy back shares immediately to prevent that from happening.

Also, many of the initial shares are bought from the investment bank's book of contacts that they reached out to on their roadshow. If you lose money for your fund manager buddies, they won't invest in your next IPO.
I am being quite ridiculous and ignorant probably, but to me options just seems a way to trick people into buying a lottery ticket, except it has very complicated rules how to cash it and you don't even know if you've won or not sometimes.

Why not just grant people stock / ownership. Wouldn't most people like to get a smaller guaranteed amount of ownership percentage than some mythical huge number of options which get diluted or become beyond the reach due to AMT? Why don't startups say "here is a low salary, but you get 0.25% of ownership after working for 2-3 years", write a contract and put in it that this person owns 0.25% of the company. They might not be able to sell or cash shares until the exit or the IPO or whatever. But if they leave, they leave, they keep the share, if they stay and work company gets better and bigger they get a bigger piece of the pie and so on.

I am probably missing very obvious things here, but that seems a bit simpler than the complicated scheme with options.
Is it actually possible to downvote postings on HN?

If the model is being updated based on results as they come in, and the results coming in are not randomly distributed, then the updates will be of questionable value. In particular, this update came when a large number of predicted pro-leave results had come in, and no results from predicted strong pro-remain results had come in, so I'm not sure it has much value as a prediction.
> So you see, Google took advantage of that image, and it worked out great for them. The problem is as soon as they went that way it became a high risk game, because from then on they will be judged according to that standard.

Among people who are aware of that standard, I agree with you. On the other, sadder hand, I think that, to most people, Google really is Just Another Company. And we expect companies--except maybe Apple, except actually really Apple too--to be heartless, soulless optimizing machines.

That we tolerate that behavior out of social constructed created expressly to help society...well, whether they're doing that, and whether we should do something about the ones that aren't, is a deeply political matter, but tangential.

They see things differently than Americans. Unlike Americans, Europeans countries do not see the value and importance of guns, even after they got conquered or have to fight off invaders.

>The small-minded fears of a minority of this country are inflicting greater fear and damage on the rest of us.

The same thing could be said about anti-gun people. These people fear guns, and because of that irrational fear, they're trying to infringe other people's fundemental right to self-defense.

You don't want a gun. Cool. But I want a gun. I am not forcing you to own a gun, so why are you forcing me to not own a gun?

How about we let each person decides what he wants to do instead? You don't buy a gun. And I buy a gun. It's call Freedom.
I need some advise about honesty
I live in a state where recreational marijuana is legal and I have just graduated from college with a degree in computer science.

While I was completing my degree I used marijuana to relax and and help with my anxiety. I quit for good at the end of the term. My thinking was that it would take me a month or two to find a job in the field, and that there was going to be enough time for any evidence to leave my system. To my surprise I was given an offer in less than a week.

I'm truly excited about the company, the work they do, and the people that I will be working with. During the pre-interview contact with the manager I got a really good vibe and we seemed to hit it off. When I went to the office for and interview I got along great with everyone and it just felt right being there.

They made a great offer, but now I'm terrified because I will need to submit to a drug screen that I will not pass. I will not cheat the screen because I feel like that is unethical, but I don't know how to handle this situation. I want to be up-front and honest about my past use and the fact the I quit for good after I graduated, but I'm scared that the offer will be reneged.

How should I handle this situation? Should I come clean about my past use? Should I take the test, not say anything and wait to see what happens? Thank you in advance for any advice the community here might have.

> I'm reliably informed that there's no way to cook squirrels so they are appetizing to anyone who isn't desperate

Misinformed. Squirrels are pretty tasty. Need a few, though.

More to the point of the article, I appreciate that Fowler calls out stored procedures as something often misused but secretly pretty awesome. If you are working in an environment where you can handle a SQL database as a canonical datastore--and of course there are literally kajillions of opportunities for that--then sprocs can do a lot to isolate business logic at a level lower than the application. I wouldn't use them in every case, but I've had good success using them in many cases.
Take the test. If they deny based on it, try an appeal.

It might be a good legal overview (I wouldn't know), but the scientific merit is overwhelmingly in Doudna's favor. The actual novelty and value of the method is the ability to edit nucleotides, not whether it can be done in prokaryotes vs. eukaryotes.

In the case where this was a known technique that had significant difficulties in translating to eukaryotic work, then the Broad Institute's work would be significant. That was not, however, the case. Very little needed to change, and the technique has been widely applicable.

Just a quick look though Doudna's publications shows that this is an issue with a great deal of background work behind it, years of effort that fortuitously resulted in an incredible invention. Then, someone comes along, copies your work in some different bugs, and claims ownership. It's really no more complicated than that.
Obviously this whole thing is a reaction to the Let's Encrypt threat, which is that basically all simple certs (which are probably the vast majority of the market) are going to $0 cost.

What I don't get is what they hope to achieve? At best, if they were to win, there are two possible outcomes:

1: Let's Encrypt renames itself to something else, and continues issuing certificates.

2: Let's Encrypt folds, and a dozen clones pop up to take its place.

Either way, the simple certificate market still goes to $0.

Whether they win or not, they've managed to piss off the tech community (as in the people that obtain and install SSL certificates). We see this petty and futile move for what it is, and now on top of that, their CEO has shown they are basically at GoDaddy levels of sleazy, and has only reinforced to anyone paying attention to this that they do not want to be doing business with this company.

> Why not organize around a sane leader

Because there aren't any. Although I would not use the word "sane" here, I would use the word "capable", as in capable of running a political unit the size of a country. The inconvenient truth that nobody wants to acknowledge is that there are no human beings capable of doing that. Countries are simply too big and too complicated. (This is actually true IMO for units much smaller than countries, but countries is the current level of discussion.) The problem is not to find someone who can govern a country sanely; the problem is to figure out how to organize ourselves and coexist given that nobody is capable of governing a country sanely.
Neither of those links/graphs show that inequality had decreased. His argument is based on the false assumption that one-hump is more equal than two.

Here are some graphs that argue the other way: http://www.newyorker.com/news/john-cassidy/pikettys-inequali.... Note that the decrease in inequality after WW2 is due to the New Deal and other massive social welfare programs that redistributed wealth. The moment we stopped doing that inequality started growing again.

The only way to counter the Matthew Effect is to change the feedback loop. The post-WW2 programs and post-civil rights movement Affirmative Action programs (coincidentally affirmed by SCOTUS today) are examples of doing just that. I'll not make an argument for the merits of desegregating society here, but the Parable of the Polygons (http://ncase.me/polygons) is another example of how deliberate counteractions are the only way to change the "natural" course of things. Human culture (including evolving social mores, laws and science) is a prime example of changing the natural course of things. Laissez-faire doesn't always work.

How do such decisions cause the Matthew Effect? In so many ways! But here's one to get you started: Black Americans are clearly less advantaged than white Americans. That translates to white Americans growing up in a safer environment, being better educated, having more connections to other advantaged people, not being constantly violated (I highly recommend you read Ta-Nehisi Coates's Between the World and Me) the way blacks are -- I could go on and on. So of course whites will more often be "better hires" from a pure business perspective. So more whites get hired for better jobs. So guess whose children get to live in better neighborhoods, get to go to better schools, and all the other advantages I listed earlier? That is the Matthew Effect.
HN, reddit and other places where people're being upset over this is a tiny portion of the "tech community" and people who're obtaining SSL certificates. You would be surprised how little a lot of people working in the industry care about news like this.
Assuming that you think Trump would somehow be a disastrous clown - or at least more of a disastrous clown than Hillary.
