Well then, that sounds like a dumb business decision by the author. Who spends 4 years working on something they only intend on selling, without ever checking if their market wants to buy it?
If you really want to keep your employees stuck, the key is to over-pay them. The vast majority of people immediately scale up their obligations to maximize the entire breadth of their paycheck (or at the very least, they become accustomed to having a large amount of disposable income). If they'd have to take a 30%+ pay cut to get employed by another company, most employees literally can't leave without risking financial ruination, and it's certainly not a pleasant prospect in any case.

Over my career, the saddest, most stuck employees have been those whose salaries outstrip anything they could get if they go back on the market. It's wise to think carefully before accepting a salary that is much higher than normal, because it's likely that you'll have a very difficult time leaving.

I would be very hesitant to assume you will be 'out in three'. Unless you are actively discussing graduation, 3 years might as well be \infty, in graduate school-land.
You can, it's an actual market. The price is just high, because the chance to get them is low. If you could buy them for what I assume you expect to be a lower amount, they would not sell nearly as many chests, or no one would want the item anymore because it's no longer rare.

Thank you for your answer. I think you made my point actually. By commenting, you gave me the opportunity to discuss with you and we now can both learn from it. For me it became more than a downvote, it became positive.

Included near the bottom of the article is a link to a Spanish outlet's interview with Margaret Hamilton (the lead flight software engineer) that I had only recently discovered:

https://medium.com/@verne/margaret-hamilton-the-engineer-who...

She gives some general insight to how the code works, but the biggest highlight for me was how she apparently coined the term "software engineering":

> Software during the early days of this project was treated like a stepchild and not taken as seriously as other engineering disciplines, such as hardware engineering; and it was regarded as an art and as magic, not a science. I had always believed that both art and science were involved in its creation, but at that time most thought otherwise. Knowing this, I fought to bring the software legitimacy so that it (and those building it) would be given its due respect and thus I began to use the term “software engineering” to distinguish it from hardware and other kinds of engineering; yet, treat each type of engineering as part of the overall systems engineering process. When I first started using this phrase, it was considered to be quite amusing. It was an ongoing joke for a long time. They liked to kid me about my radical ideas. Software eventually and necessarily gained the same respect as any other discipline.

Apparently, she's kept off of the social network grid, but would love if someone could convince her to do an AMA.
Hum... That looks odd because it is. Things do not work this way.

Actually, the reproducibility applies to the hypothesis (conclusion), not to the experiment. It's only that, since the observer is irrelevant, people simplify and call it "reproducing the experiment".

If your experiment depends on the observer, and you get to know that, that dependence will go on the conclusion, and the people reproducing your experiment will expect to see the result your hypothesis say they would, not the same one you got. If you have a correct predicting model, everybody will conclude it's correct.
List of open source iOS apps
Elixir and Erlang actually map remarkably well to the _web development_ use case. When every request gets it's own process and shared services are abstracted away, the mental model is quite simple. Use Elixir/ Erlang and you also get to use server push architectures with ease. Want server state to write your own device-sync? Need to write web-hooks? Want to count requests? Need to guarantee uniqueness of a combination of variables in a distributed environment? Want to do server some requests requiring heavy-lifting while also serving short-lived requests with low latency? Choose Elixir / Erlang for web development and as your needs evolve (and they will), you're likely to be surprised and delighted by how much you can achieve before you need to move to a polygot or micro-service-based architecture.

It’s Not the economy, stupid: Brexit as a story of personal values
I've read, similarly, that the CEO is not bound legally to protect shareholder's best interests ahead of everything else, article linked here [1].

Quoting: "If you review any of the numerous guides prepared for directors of corporations prepared by law firms and other experts, you won’t find a stipulation for them to maximize shareholder value on the list of things they are supposed to do. It’s not a legal requirement. And there is a good reason for that.

Directors and officers, broadly speaking, have a duty of care and duty of loyalty to the corporation. From that flow more specific obligations under Federal and state law. But notice: those responsibilities are to the corporation, not to shareholders in particular."

In the UK a director's responsibilities are set out in the Companies Act:

A director of a company must act in the way he considers, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole, and in doing so have regard (amongst other matters) to—

(a)the likely consequences of any decision in the long term,
(b)the interests of the company's employees,
(c)the need to foster the company's business relationships with suppliers, customers and others,
(d)the impact of the company's operations on the community and the environment,
(e)the desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct, and
(f)the need to act fairly as between members of the company.

And that's pretty much it. This gives directors massive wide ranging latitude to act. Delaware's duties are similar, they give the directors huge latitude - companies are not legally mandated to e amoral profit machines.
Not a farmer - but the wife does a fair bit of reading on animal welfare and organic produce.

We've quite often thought of sourcing our meat & poultry from the neighborhood farm as opposed to the stock "organic" that you get at the supermarkets. This article and several I read probably just helps me make that decision faster. I generally use whole foods today - level 4 rating on the chicken & 100% grass fed on my meat.

The farm, while being more expensive, invites you to see how they treat and feed the animals. This is as opposed to hidden practices in the organic & dairy industry where they are so tied to not giving the animals antibiotics that they will rather kill the animals as opposed to treating them for fear of losing their "organic" status.

To your point, my neighborhood farm does not have "organic" certification. They don't want to go through the paperwork. They treat their animals humanely and invite you to view their operation if you so wish. I believe eatwild.com has a list of farms as well.

One major drawback of (if you wish to call it that) is the meat is typically seasonal (as it should be). In the sense - there are specific harvest times when you need to order. You can't just walk in and get a steak or chicken for the evening. That means you need to plan 6 months to an year ahead and invest in a freezer with battery backup.
Have you?

"...The historians of ethnic food Peter and Colleen Grove discuss various origin-claims of chicken tikka masala, concluding that the dish "was most certainly invented in Britain, probably by a Bangladeshi chef".[14] They suggest that "the shape of things to come may have been a recipe for Shahi Chicken Masala in Mrs Balbir Singh’s Indian Cookery published in 1961".[14]..."
If I had a time machine one of the things I'd do is go three thousand years into the future and laugh at the archeologists who speculate about our culture's obsession with astronomy because we built this "religious monument" that aligns with the sun on a particular day of the year.
Got it! Thanks for the response. I wasn't sure whether that was a comment on RT's strategy (i.e. implying something else going on) or on the industry as a whole.

It'd be an interesting short white paper/post to see what a technical take on DD would be in a fund of funds/institutional investing scenario. I guess that would take away some of the value of the rise in the "consultants" we're getting calls from every day.
Japan’s First VR Porn Festival Shut Down for Being Too Popular
That's just not true; it's a variant of thinking that "Janitors at a $10B market cap company should make 10x more than those at a $1B company".

Just because they were attached to a more valuable project doesn't mean that their specific value contribution was greater.

In the case of the janitor, we can clearly see why it's wrong: if you pay 10x much, your applicant pool will be flooded, and you will not be able to sell the resultant product[1] for more than you paid.

Likewise, when a $10 million property is sold, more value is created than with a $1M. But it doesn't mean the 10x difference was due to the agent; usually, the same price can be achieved without paying 10x as much, but various factors keep the market out of equilibrium.

[1] You have to be careful in defining the relevant market here. In this case, the "buyer" is the worker, who pays in the size of the "compensating differential" they accept. (You will have to pay a lot to get employees at disgusting, unmaintained office.) You know that you're paying too much for the janitor when their cost is higher than the induced reduction in compensating differential.

Edit: To be sure, REAs for big properties do legitimately contribute more value because of all the other ways that they can eke out a higher sales price, and janitors at prestigious offices can contribute more value than those at Walmart stores; it's just that the value contribution is not, as you implied, and was being contested by the GP, proportional to the value of the attached capital.

The result of selection (lower education, etc.) will necessarily lag behind the selection pressure. Only the most extreme selection (immediate 100% death for non-selected variant) will show up immediately. Milder selection takes time. You can tell that it is happening if you look at millions of people, but it won't be easy to notice without some number crunching.

Suppose the difference is that one group averages 1.7 kids per woman, with typical generation-to-generation time of 35 years, while the other group has 2.1 kids per woman, with typical generation-to-generation time of 20 years. You probably can't notice, especially if those averages are blurred by lots of random variation.

It will take many generations to severely reduce the genetic predisposition toward learning. As it happens, it will be difficult to recognize. People learn less, but why? Many alternate explanations will be offered. There may in fact be multiple factors that each partially explain the result. Some of these factors may be taboo. We might explain away the situation by saying that the economy just doesn't support education, or that the culture has changed.
I couldn't disagree more. With that kind of attitude, paying employees more than minimum wage would be "detrimental to the interests of the shareholders."

Hell, the exorbitant executive salaries are "detrimental to the interests of the shareholders". Where are the lawsuits against those companies?

For what it's worth, here in New York City, the community interaction takes place IRL. There are literally hordes of people roaming the parks. Some people set out lures, and then sit on benches, striking up conversations with other players who walk over to try and catch some Pokemon.

You should try to find a new advisor. Try seeking out other potential advisors in the department for advice on your work. Work through some task with them and if you have a good rapport, schedule another meeting with them and explain the situation. Maybe you can pivot your work in a direction that suits their expertise better.

It might be that you don't need a new advisor as much as a mentor or co-advisor from your department. That might be an easier solution politically.

Universities deal with lots of problems all the time. Figure out who the right person is to reach out to and seek them out.
Bah, you know what, you're right. Still, 100 coins a day from defending 10 gyms (not hard to do if you are in an urban area) is enough to pick up any item in the store (minus the storage upgrades), at least. Lures are really nice considering they benefit everyone in the area, so if you are nearby a group of players lure trading can be a pretty good deal.

I think it's one of the problems of UBI: it can only exist in addition to all other social benefits, because it can't solve every situation appropriately.

Disabled people will need more help than a fit 22yo guy for instance. Social benefits are individualized: UBI can't be the same for everyone and erase existing social benefits.

Also, governments HATE destroying public jobs ;-)
What boggles my mind is that this is just one of many cases of provable long-term return. It's trickier for HR type investments (measuring the ROI on increases wages, or putting a pool table in the break room), but another example is most governments' refusal to believe that education has a massive ROI. Despite the fact that we have economic scientists repeatedly demonstrating with overwhelming evidence that these types of long-term investments have massive ROI, people can't overcome their natural short sightedness.

If you paid employees all of the companies earnings you wouldn't make any money. If you paid employees nothing, you wouldn't be making any money as they would stop working. If you pay somewhere in the middle, you would likely make money. So there exists a point where paying workers more will result in less money.
