A causal mechanism that seems likely to propogate to the future.

Winning the lottery can lead to present success. Having one once, in a fair game (and that's a valid condition to check) is exceptionally unlikely to lead to future success.

OTOH, pursing a line of work in which you haven't yet succeeded, but others have, may be an area in which lack of present success doesn't preclude future success.

I tend to look to process with more emphasis than outcome.

That is a real problem, yes, but the fair solution is right of first refusal, not vetoing a sale.
> "How does phishing like this scale?"

I assume that the thief which actually steals the phone isn't the same guy which puts this kind of scam on. And if you're the one which buys the stolen phones at larger scale (e.g. by running a used-phone-shop) this kind of scam scales very well I would think.
That makes sense.

If all you need is someone with a few years' experience, the younger candidates are probably going to be willing to work longer hours, for less money, than the older candidates.

In other words, why pay a 20+ year veteran a lot of money to do Rails programming when a recent college grad knows enough to do a decent job, and can be paid an entry-level salary? Not every engineer on a team needs to be senior.

I suspect this is also good career advice: if you don't want to compete with entry-level programmers for jobs, specialize in an area where more experience makes you a more desirable job candidate.
> The growth rate measured in the atmosphere does not match the negative growth rate the political process is claiming.

The political process is claiming a negative growth rate in emissions (ie, the second derivative of the atmospheric levels, or the first derivative of the change in the atmospheric levels).

In other words, the growth of the growth in atmospheric CO2 levels is decreasing.

What are the phases in this study? There's no explanation of the phases in the abstract:

"Phase 1 results showed a difference between phenylephrine and placebo that was 64% of the difference between pseudoephedrine and placebo, substantially greater than the 17% difference observed for all phases. "

Edit: Phase 1 may mean "Testing of drug on healthy volunteers for dose-ranging", from wikipedia:

In the case @tyre mentioned above, the number of owners on the cap table would have actually been reduced during the sale, not increased.

The problem is not with the spirit under which that clause was added to the company's bylaws--the problem is the knee-jerk reaction by which they halted any discussion of sales (and didn't try to find a solution that worked), whether or not the proposed sale actually had a material effect on the cap table. Not to mention that ROFRs exist to eliminate cap table problems altogether.

Employees are unaware of these "veto" clauses, and continuing to hide them is acting in bad faith. But of course companies don't want employees to be aware of these clauses--it would become crystal clear how absolutely worthless equity is for the vast majority of employees at startups (even at Valley darlings like Gusto).
That's great, but we shouldn't judge the state of education in our country based on outliers.
Go out and learn about what happens in mental hospitals. My ex was schizo-affective, and I've spent some time in some of the hospital wards and the system and stuff. If a child or adult was there because of something like ADHD, it wasn't the sort of thing you are describing. Folks there are generally dealing with things that the rest of us couldn't imagine going through properly - as attested by your attitude. Severe depression, anxiety, bipolar, severe addiction, and other such things needing actual medical oversight.

Are there horrible people practicing? Sure, but that is society at large. Most of the folks helping others want to help. Like everything else, we hear these stories because they are outliers. Some things Are subjective because we don't have the medical tests yet and we have to go by what the patient is willing to describe... but yet, if you give the wrong sort of medicine, it reacts badly. This still happens in "regular" medicine as well when we don't have proper diagnostic tools available. When we know more and have definitive tests widely available, we can do these things you describe.
The drive transistors turn on and off at high speed to chop up the DC. You can think of these pulses as AC; they provide the changing magnetic field the transformer needs. Since this charger is a resonant converter, it's a bit more complex than most; the inductor-capacitor circuit resonates and the pulses turn into sinusoids.
This should also serve as a reminder to use a password vault (like 1Password or LastPass or your browser's built-in functionality). If you use a password vault, it's immediately obvious when you're at a phishing site because the vault won't fill it in.

Precisely--this is the exact reason that ROFRs exist. They make sure that a company has the option of keeping its cap table clean in the event of a sale by an employee.

What these companies want is to have their cake and eat it too: prohibit sales of stock to outsiders without having to pay for the privilege.

The cynic in me says that this is because companies of this kind are far less likely to be in the position to exercise ROFRs and pay for it via profits simply because they are not yet profitable. And I'm sure investors don't like the idea of their capital being used to buy back shares of vested stock from employees.
That's a pretty scary story. Kudos to Kiminki for recognising it in time. For once, I have to admit this is one I might have fallen for (if I had an iPhone, that is).

I think you are probably right, the CFTC is not going to mandate a specific technical approach. Still, an exchange could very well make a poor choice in an attempt to comply with regs whose intent is focused on something very different from the risks of wallet theft.
Do you let your base stations sleep? I have mine set to (yay moving parts with limited lifespans), and I agree that there's a noticeable delay between when I click the VR button and when I'm ready to put my headset on.

I did not know the IPD trick. I'm tempted to go try that right now. Which kind of aligns me to cven714's point - mine sits there. I have fun when I play, but I just got up off my couch after deciding not to want to go through the full dance of starting VR up. I know I have fun, but I need something enthralling to make me want to play.
The best and most interesting part of this was about how they trained:

"The six student team is then brought together prior to the IMO for a three-and-one-half-week training program at Carnegie Mellon University, which is also organized by the MAA.... This year we also included ten international students — students on IMO teams from other countries. We paid for their airfare, hotel, food and teaching.... bringing in the international students gives the top US students peers. They always tell you — if you’re the smartest guy in the room, you’re in the wrong room. So we bring in these peers, who are actually at the same level as these top six. Of course that increases the level."

"Tamed" as in "probability of catastrophic failure reduced somewhat", yes. "Tamed" as in "returned to its classical function as a service function for industry and individuals", no.

Real taming would mean brokerages who aren't allowed to trade for their own account. Real taming would mean no more "hedge funds"; all funds must be organized as SEC-registered mutual funds. Real taming would mean a Tobin tax (0.01% on every financial transaction) to discourage high-frequency or excessive trading. Real taming would mean not treating interest as a deductible business expense, which would kill the leveraged buyout/private equity industry and end equity to debt conversions.

Since at one time all of those restrictions were in effect, or something else with the same effect was, this is the conservative approach. We know this works.

But Lite Engine is running on AWS! For your react example, for Lite Engine, to deploy a react/webpack frontend application, you'd build it, zip it, and upload it. There are lots of static file hosting soluttions around now (github pages, bit balloon, etc) so I'm not sure what you have in mind there.

I think ultimately, the message I'd like to convey is, 'it' doesn't have to be that hard to deploy a single page app. This is heresy to many :)

Thanks again for the feedback I really do appreciate it!

It's interesting to see so many comments on an imprecise wording of a sentence.

As humans, people can parse this sentence and infer the thinking and meaning behind it.

The related part of the problem with this the difficulty in finding a position is that computers and compilers cannot infer meaning - the statement must be exact (not precise, not accurate, exact). And for a programmer, making such logical gaffes is detrimental to speed and quality of a particular piece of work.

Could be unfair in assessing one as such, but a line of reasoning here does exist that I believe to be testable and valid. And life isn't fair.

Perhaps a piece to help you in finding a position better is to form the idea first, then reword it for the right audience (for programmers, be exacting, don't leave room for interpretation).
We do this and we measure the use of the feature and health with a metrics library such as codahale.

High standard human rights existed in the west, they just weren't equally applied. In China, human rights are equally applied, just at a very low standard.

So the west only had to apply what human rights already existed universally to "develop," and there was already moral pressure to do so from unfairness. China already has "fairness", but no where to go after that; there is definitely no moral pressure from within to do better.
Indeed; the length of a political term and the length of the consequences of some of the decisions being made during that term are at odds. Is there a better solution?
This is a place where a regulatory response is probably needed.

I would like to see a law that says that if a company blocks a sale, the employee can auction their shares off to current investors and the company has the last chance to bid. It may change control if the company doesn't want to buy the shares, but it does not change investor relations or any material work the founder/team would need to do to stay in compliance.

Conscription is legal under the 13th Amendment. (As is apparently being pressed into building roadways.) If you can be compelled to fight in a war, it doesn't seem unreasonable that you can be compelled to serve as a public defender.

The thirteenth amendment was never intended to remove any power to enslave by the state.

As a preface, I'm as employee friendly as it comes for options and I've been through the ringer on this whole option process.

I don't think it is fair for an employee of a private company to be upset that they can't sell their shares whenever they want. There are more than just issues of the cap table. If one person wants to sell shares then isn't it only fair that everybody get the opportunity? So now it becomes a process. If the company endorses the process, then it can potentially affect the 409A valuation in addition to being a pretty big distraction and time sink.

So you can't just say because Employee X wants to sell shares and has a buyer lined up, the company shouldn't get in the way. The most fair thing for everybody might be to block the sale.

As a caveat to this, I believe that if founders sell shares then they should also give employees a right to sell shares, and not doing so is reason to get upset. However, if the founders aren't selling shares then I don't think it is wrong for them to make everybody wait for an IPO, acquisition or a other structured stock sale.
Good question. I recently had a brief look at a site a friend hosts with wordpress.com - and after that my "old" recommendation of going with a standard wordpress.com-hosted wordpress without extra plugins is pretty much out: it looks like with their move to a javscript/api/spa-based admin they've managed to alienate quite a bit of the theme-developers and/or left them behind -- so now there are two admin-pages (the javascript spa and wp-admin.php) -- and neither work perfectly for legacy installations...

I was already a bit sceptical of wordpress.com hosting due to the limitation on custom themes, and the hurdles needed to hop through to make a new theme that can be used with a wordpress.com hosted site...

All that said, plain wordpress along with a modern php-version and the wordpress-cli still looks like it's an option. The major caveat is that as soon as you get a "wordpress hacker" to "enhance" the site - security appears to go out the window (feels like a third of the traffic on the full-disclosure list is still wordpress plugins. Rarely wordpress core, though).

With that dismal news out of the way, ghost.org + ghost.io hosting does look quite reasonable for a blog (basically what you get with "plain wordpress" anyway). It looks rather unsuited for anything that's not just a blog, including a full image gallery (there are plugin/themes, but ghost is explicitly not a content management system, and doesn't really have any real media management to manage uploaded images in galleries etc. Perhaps ghost.io + something like 500px.com is a possible fix).

Other than that, I have a good impression of netlifly -- but being focused on static sites, it might be a though sell for someone that would really just want "a simple wordpress that works and looks beautiful". I'm not sure, I've only toyed a bit with it, and enjoyed their various excellent "using netlifly with X" blogpost (a really shining example of corporate marketing if you ask me - I don't think any other startup/kickstarter/company mailings manage to reach near the nice quality that netlifly seem to reach effortlessly (a typical indication that a lot of effort is put in, btw :-).

It doesn't matter whether the cost is incurred on profits or otherwise, they just don't want to pay. Vetoing sales is unfair, but rational on the part of the company, so long as their recruits and employees don't understand the implications of these contracts, and therefore aren't choosing other employers on that basis.

Including this constraint in the bylaws of the company rather than the Option Agreement is particular devious, and I've actually never heard of such a trick. I'm surprised it's legal.
>But I haven't played a really compelling game

I've liked a lot of VR games, but Out of Ammo was the first that really hooked me. The "sandbox" style -- not sandbox in the sense of Minecraft, but in the sense I felt like a kid again in my sandbox placing little army soldier toys around me and making little barricades and walls defending from imaginary threats -- was great. It's a shame that the game is a bit short and buggy right now. I think that style of gameplay is somewhere the Vive (VR+motion controllers) really shines and has a lot of untapped potential.

During heavy rain, road conditions are not good and visibility is poor. Hence, the probability of getting into accidents is higher. (Think car and health insurance.)
