Disclaimer: I don't really have much of a stake in ethereum, although I made some money off of it during the craziness last month (I cashed out when early warnings about the DAO hit hn, and bough back in when it was at the bottom, and cashed out again)

> I'm not sure how anyone could have any confidence in this system after that.

I think the situation is the opposite. After the DAO there were broad calls criticising the lack of leadership, criticism about decentralized/consensus decisionmaking, and comparisons with the broader economy and how the Fed can orchestrate a bailout (and why that's better - in the eyes of the critics). In a way, through consensus with this hard fork the Ethereum stakeholders squared the circle - orchestrating a bailout with majority assent (and if anyone didn't like it they were free to leave). I'm not going to pass judgement on whether or not that is a good precedent to set (or whether a turing complete blockchain - or the EVM implementation in particular - is a good idea in the long-term), but if anything the decisiveness of action should give more confidence in the short-term.
I disagree. Discarding the core is unnatural. The only part of an apple that I discard is the stem.

I also ensure that I do not crush all of the seeds with my teeth, thus honoring "the deal" between fruit-bearing plants and animals (even though sewage treatment plants may be involved after the fact).

I draw the line at plums, though. Those are pretty much the largest fruit seeds that I will swallow whole. Peaches, you're out of luck.

But when you put toilets and sewers in the equation, tossing the seed-bearing portion of a fruit to another animal is probably the most natural thing you can do. The animal receiving the food has no cause to object. The plant that bore the fruit has no cause to object (unless it is seedless). And the only reason a human might object is if it somehow upsets the environmental equilibrium, such as if 10000 humans are all throwing their uneaten apple cores in the same place.

...like tourists at a national park.

When you're in a "natural" area that somehow gets a lot of human activity anyway, you're actually better off burning your garbage, and either packing out the ash if local soil is basic, or spreading it and peeing on it if the local soil is acidic.
> Erdogan always had strong support from Turkish expatriates. I had always heard this explained as fundamentalists leaving Turkey because its secular laws were more restrictive

Wanting to practice your religion in it's most basic form makes one a fundamentalist?
This sort of analysis has already been done in the last century, but it seems like it's recently been drowned out by misinformation.

Suffice to say, a modern democracy is supposed to have strong safeguards for minorities; take filibustering, for example, or the various human-rights courts and treaties. Modern democracy is not just "one head, one vote", or there would be no safeguards against a new Holocaust.
> All sorts of minorities, for instance, may be protected in flowery words, but it isn't worth the paper it's written on unless the majority (of power, sadly, not of individuals) actually care about it. A constitutional safeguard that doesn't have the support of actual power is worked around, it's just a question of lawyer rhetoric. In the end, the only check that can exist on us is ourselves.

Flowery words are actually better than nothing, and at least the US constitution tried to set up institutions that made sure that law complie(d/s) with that supreme law of the land. Radical democrats would do well to look at the kinds of Jim Crow laws that appeared after the Civil War which were completely unconstitutional and were judged so and overturned against popular demand by judges given the power to strike down laws.

I really don't have faith in the mob. It's clear the framers of the Constitution didn't either, and there are plenty of examples of the tyranny of the majority that should give us pause.
If Gitlab EE was open source, they would have seen broad adoption in a lot of free software communities because the quality is much higher than the existing infrastructure (think Gnome, KDE, Freedesktop.org, Apache, maybe even smaller projects like Document Foundation and VideoLAN). However, they made crucial functionality all these projects depend on, like LDAP support, proprietary. So we are still in this situation where most open source ecosystems are running horrible old or outdated infrastructure with random bug trackers and mediawiki on the side, or much less intuitive systems for multi-project ecosystems like Phabricator (which is what KDE is switching to).

I wouldn't call that goodwill. Some people might be able to personally use the community edition, but no open source project of scale could fathom it with how much groupware functionality is locked behind the proprietary version.
Red hat sells updates to their software + packaging. Horton also does this. They also sell apps on top of their platform.

My point is: their model isn't just consulting.

Cloudera is open core for their hadoop distro.

Mesosphere tried closed source with DC/OS and it didn't quite work for them, but they also don't sell consulting.

Docker as a business is also trying to monetize via NON consulting ways.

These companies' goals are all to scale bigger though.

Something to keep in mind though - red hat is a rounding error compared to say: microsoft. A lot of open source investors are looking for an open core model now.

As I described there's different ways to go about it. We chose open core for ourselves though.

I guess it would depend on how your users consume services. With Twilio it's easy because it's by transactional events like SMS or minutes. So you could load your account with $20 and Twilio would just take from that based on the transactions that occurred. And if you ran to $0 then yes, they suspended your account.
I'm intrigued, can you elaborate?
It is bizarre. The first time I saw it I thought it was just some crazy people.

What happens in the fall and winter is that they roost in mass in large trees in large numbers -- I'm talking tens of thousands of birds.

We tend to get them in our trees in the morning for some reason, and they aren't as active, so it isn't that big of a deal. But a few blocks away they land in the evening and make a lot of noise -- it's almost like car horns.

With the fireworks, they don't aim at them, but almost set them up in a "box" to agitate them. I think the objective is to get them broken up into smaller groups and move off to a less populated area. The freaky thing is the distressed crow noises coming from a PA in the back of the truck.
Yes, I consider it an _excellent_ participation rate. A 5.5% sample size is orders of magnitude larger than that of nearly any sociological study (usually below 0.01%).

How does telemetry affect that? I can see that you would maybe prioritize work on improving different features depending on what gets used most or what crashes most, but how should telemetry help you decide what features to include?

Lots of people start blogs, publish a ton of articles, don't get the traction off the bat that they are expecting, and it slowly/quickly dies. Start small. Consistently publish (whatever you can handle in terms of pace, but 1-2 articles a week published at 9am is a good start). Specializing in a niche is huge; it keeps your blog focused, and if you do a good job, people will look to you as an influencer in that space.

Getting out there on Twitter/Reddit and building a following go without saying.

This is from my experience (I run a successful sports blog, and currently launching two other ones with the same model).

Good luck!

Edit: added 'Good luck!'
It comes down to user experience. There's a categorical difference between having to do regular transitions and full-page reloads, and no page transitions and hot reloading. The latter is more overhead from an initial bandwidth and processing perspective, but results in zero-latency interactions, which can be important.

Is a JS framework the best way to achieve that? Maybe, maybe not. There are many factors to consider. I just don't think it's a matter of "this isn't a problem that needs solving."
In general, I think that telling relatively early employees in a startup their fully-diluted ownership percentage has become the norm.

I assume that this is the 0.75% worth of shares at the current valuation they promised you. You should confirm that this represents your share of the fully-diluted, as-converted shares of the company.

Here is more detail on what fully-diluted, as converted means: https://www.capshare.com/blog/how-many-shares-are-on-my-cap-....

If you confirm that this represents your share of fully-diluted, as-converted shares, then you can calculate the total number of shares on the cap table by simply dividing the number of shares you receive by 0.75%.

Regarding your other questions, every startup has a different approach to levels of transparency about equity.

Most companies do not grant full access to the cap table to employees beyond the founder group.

Many companies will give employees, especially key employees, a sense of their ownership percentage after future rounds.

Companies will typically provide less information to former employees who have left the company.

Exceptions to all of these generalities are somewhat common.

I wrote an article on this subject based on our experience with the 5,000+ companies and cap tables we manage on Capshare: https://www.capshare.com/blog/will-cap-table-transparency-he....

I created a very basic react static site generator called rovr [0]. It was an experiment I started about a year ago to learn more about react... and I also wanted to create something similar to how Jekyll works. You can mix html, markdown, and react components to create pages and layouts.

Anyway, I don't plan on supporting it... just an experiment. I should probably update the readme to state that.

While developing rovr, I was also learning ES6 at the same time. If you have any opinions on the code, please let me know!

I have checked out Gatsby before though, and it looks like a great project with many more features than rovr. Although I'm happy with Jekyll, I may try this out again in the future.

I love this part:

Another project involves working on the Global Positioning System. Lynch still can’t believe that he can work on something that cool while serving his country. “I didn’t even know that we ran GPS, right?” he says. “That’s crazy shit.”
I would structure your resume to focus on your projects, giving them detailed descriptions, in which you can describe the languages, libraries, etc... that you used to implement them. That way, you put the technology in the context of the solutions you were delivering. For example (making this up...):

Selected Project Experience:

Consumer Finance Protection Reporting Database (2014) - Backend Developer. Developed the platform to support a consumer finance protection website that allows users to put a lock on their credit account without navigating customer service telephone lines. Built the backend with Django (Python) and Postgres and implemented a robust API with the Django REST Framework.

Etc...
You could modify it if you wanted, but the best way is to submit a Merge Request on GitLab.com, otherwise you will need to maintain a fork of GitLab (which might be a trouble to maintain depending on the changes).
I am surprised how so many seem to think this is a bad thing. Ethereum is very nascent, and this was how the community wanted to fix this issue. It was not just about returning DTH, it was about the implications of the allocation of the DTH in the hands of one individual when Ethereum moves to PoS.

Obviously the HF isn't ideal, but not forking was potentially much worse. This settles the issue, and allows people to get back to work.

Hard forks will become less viable as a solution the larger the network gets, and as more interests are involved. However, blockchains are consensus mechanisms. Anyone can propose a hard fork update at any time.

Here is something to consider: as more than 80% of Bitcoin's hash power is in the hands of a few Chinese companies, the CCP could very realistically enforce a Bitcoin hard fork.

>Those who really need security and privacy, know not to use Skype.

Everyone needs security, and privacy. If you're a company, you need security and privacy, and most will just assume that Skype provides it. And for the most part Skype provides them with the security they need. Most of the users of Skype just needs protection from snooping competitors and Skype provides that to a sufficient extend.

Honestly no one will care the slightest that Skype has become less secure, because in their eyes it hasn't.

But yes, most users for Skype are pretty naive, about security at least.
Heh. Of course, never that.

All systems at that scale are flawed, and even the founders knew this. Thus they biased decisions toward conservatism (in the classic sense--resisting change) but actually _did_ amend the Constitution, right away, with a Bill of Rights to make it even clear the construction of the document was to protect people from their government. The process is difficult, but it's happened _27 times_ (the first 10 times in bulk).

And, you're being a bit paranoid, I do work at Typeform and I can ensure you that we have no "hidden ways" like this, where the purpose is to spread Typeform :) It's simply someone using Typeform to build the form itself.
This is great.

A lot of these use cases are achievable using Object.defineProperty/Properties. In most cases I think defineProperty even provides a nicer API because it's per-property instead of per-trap. The 'has' trap can't be achieved completely with defineProperty (although you can make a property non-enumerable, which achieves the same goal in some cases).

Sometimes you get a job ad, and you submit your CV. There, if the ad is good, you can tailor.

Sometimes a recruiter asks for your CV, without a specific position in mind. Sometimes you just publish your CV somewhere. What should you tailor, and how?
It's also gotten extremely buggy. Can't get reliably through firewalls anymore, constantly orders messages wrong or doesn't show messages that were sent by a different client (even though they were received by the other party correctly), has much worse voice quality than Whatsapp, can't handover between networks, takes ages to load on older iPhones, the list goes on. I'd move away to Whatsapp in a heartbeat if they offered group calls and paid calls to phone numbers.
Love those ideas.
Just to give some perspective: These are the confidential ID numbers and health records, including for example psychiatric information, of more than 90 percent of the Danish population.

It's not legal, but many organisations still trust you are, who you say you are, if you provide name and the ID number. You can still call some banks in Denmark and get information on the account balance if you state name, account number and the ID number. Same with the tax authorities and some public authorities.

The health records are likely to include information that can be used to blackmail our politicians, business people etc. since just about everybody in Denmark uses the public health care system.
Could you cite any other example(s)?

If not, that Red Hat is the outlier (1 company in 20 years) seems to strengthen the prior commenter's point.
This matches the anecdata I have collected. So yeah, I'm not an industry analyst at all, not even close. But this article matches what I've seen:

- iPhone 6, 6+, 6S are popular

- iPhone 7, 7+, 7 Pro looks like they will be meh, not much of an upgrade

- Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is outselling iPhone 6S in the US [1]

- The 2017 iPhone (10th year anniversary iPhone) will have the wall-to-wall display like the S7 Edge and might even do away with the home button (put the fingerprint sensor right into the touchscreen). Apple is putting out the iPhone 7 as a meh upgrade so that there will be pent-up demand for the 2017 iPhone.

- Google will probably release a phone built entirely in-house to compete with Apple

tl;dr Apple plans to have a meh 2016, then come back really strong in 2017

Actually I always thought that is what "fundamentalist" meant. But I never thought of fundemantalism as a bad thing in itself. (Actual bad things are along the lines "militant" and beyond).
>I do not see how his support of ISIS is necessarily harmful

Wow. You dont see how video taping beheadings, raping tens of thousands of women, killing millions, selling stolen oil, and suicide bombings are 'necessarily harmful'

I dont know that ive ever encountered someone with such a mispointed moral compass, absolutely amazing what people can justify in their heads.
The chain with the most proof-of-work wins.

I was indeed referring to a republic where majority of modern democracies operate. I assumed given the context of the discussion this was obvious. Turns out, that it is not.
> curated grouped single list view that isn't available anywhere else

Yes it is. Via the search box in Control Panel. Microsoft calls it "All Tasks" and it is literally just that, all Control Panel tasks as a list.

> The hidden feature is available since WinNT 6 (Vista).

Coincidentally when they added the search box to Control Panel...

> The Win10 DevMode doesn't give you anything that isn't already available from the control panels too.

Incorrect. Developer Mode enables sideload apps, debugging apps, remote debugging, and remote debug discovery. There is nowhere else (aside from the registry) to enable these development settings.

> Don't downplay my comment.

The so called "Godmode" trick is useless, it shouldn't be shared. People can already open Control Panel and search, same thing.

Once you start handling money, you lose the "beta" cop-out. If they had succeeded in redefining what a business is and proving out the success of smart contracts, would they say, "but we're just in beta" or would they be trumpeting it as a success and a revolution?
This belief that Wall Street is always correct is exactly what caused the previous economic crash. Speculators don't care about a correct investment decision is about riding the trends. If people are buying, it doesn't matter if you don't agree .. you have to buy as well it works as a hedge.

btw, don't say " for the non-finance people " -> it's very arrogant and bankers are already hated as it is.
Fair enough. For clarity:

The proof of work threshold for a block (aka the difficulty) was the same when the fork started. The function that adjusts the difficulty (a function of time-between-blocks) is the same across both forks. It would take considerable time for the non-fork chain's difficulty to adjust to where it can make blocks at pace with the fork chain again. And even if it did, the fork would represent less work due to a lower difficulty.
I dunno...

Reloading 10K of (likely cached in memory and compressed by server) HTML to load a new page of HTML when a user clicks a link, with a browser that respects caching headers and so doesn't bother reloading content supporting images/UI element sprite sheets/CSS/JavaScript is never the wrong thing to do with "static" sites. In many cases, it's the most right.
I've updated the requirements in the README. Thanks for pointing that out!
> These entities cannot continue to operate as both buyer and seller. There is an inherent conflict of interest when the entity that consults on how to solve a problem then also offers to sell you the solution. The government outlawed such arrangements for contractors, so they should not be permitted to create such a dynamic internally.

That's a very strong accusation from Hodgkins (linked blog post in the article).
Agreed, and I meant to include that in my comment. Your practical advice is absolutely fine.

Just wanted to clarify that it applies to all cases, not just passing recruiter/software review filters.
