It's a misconception that work in Excel can't be documented or reviewed. We have the seed data he uses and the resulting Excel files (with the formulas he used still in them). This is the equivalent to version control for programming. The results are also reviewed against 1-2 appropriate sources (invoices, historical data, multiple other reports built by IT) for accuracy.
To your very legitimate point that he's the only one doing this work, if he left, long-term we would probably need 3-4 people to take over his work. Short-term, the company would probably need to put together a triage team of 5-6 people to take over his existing processes. We actually moved some of the hedging to a different team last year and we had to hire two business analysts and implement a industry-specific system to do so.
Two interesting documents produced with Scribe were the 1985 editions of Adobe’s red and blue books, the PostScript Language Reference Manual and PostScript Language Tutorial and Cookbook, published by Addison-Wesley. The colophon in the blue book explains the publishing workflow:

Camera-ready copy for this book was created entirely with
PostScript and printed on a Linotron 101 at Adobe Systems
Incorporated. The book was created with the aid of the Scribe
Document Production System (a product of Unilogic, Ltd.) as a
Scribe document definition. The illustrations were PostScript
program segments which Scribe integrated and placed on the
pages along with the formatted text portions.

Successive drafts of the book were processed with Scribe, each
time generating a single PostScript print file. The book was
proofed when needed by printing the file on an Apple
LaserWriter PostScript printer. The final version was printed
without modification on a Linotype Linotron 101 typesetter and
delivered to Addison-Wesley. No manual paste-up of any kind
was required.
Thanks! This is very much appreciated.
This is a great answer. Trust is intangible, so maybe it's easy to overlook or forget.

Some of the other signals could just as easily reflect management's reading habits. It doesn't mean the other comments are wrong, but if you are looking for "early signals," be honest with yourself and hone your trust-dar.
To add to confusion, Subaru sells several very different systems and calls all of them the same "all time all-wheel drive". There is viscous coupling center differential that goes with manual transmissions and nearly always splits torque 50/50 between front and rear, computer-controlled limited-slip clutch pack that comes with most automatics and changes torque split with speed, and some newer systems that do even more.
Well I have a simple GeoJSON point object with lat/long coordinates. The document also stores a score of sorts and what I plan to do is limit the results to a certain number say 20 (although still not quite sure) and then sort by the score. This way people will only view the most interesting locations no matter if they are looking at a street level view or on a national level.

The way rethinkDB advises is to query by intersections of circles. So on the client I calculate the center of the map, and then the radius based on the edges of the screen. Then I send that to construct the circle and get all points within the circle. I am just unsure how I can organize these results and cache them within Redis (or a better alternative) for ease of retrieval.
A type system was actually the original solution to Russell's paradox [1]. Today, we have type theories such as Martin-Löf type theory and Homotopy type theory, which can be used as a basis for constructive mathematics (i.e. mathematics, where law of the excluded middle, ∀(p : Proposition).p ∨ ¬p, doesn't generally hold — more or less).

> Most people just prefer slacking off to working their butts off.

Representing the individual desire to work for "most people" isn't your job or your right any more than it's my right to say your internal view of the world is totally fucked up if you think that way.

It's all well and fine to mention there are sociopaths in the industry, but colluding them with narcissists is unreasonable. Narcissism is simply the ability to externalize one's internal viewpoints in a way that tend to spread that same viewpoint to other's internal views, often at times without empathy for those who it infects. If that benefits the company, whose function is to make everyone there more money, then narcissism may a required trait of the company's leader. If someone can't accept that for themselves, then they should leave the company or never join to begin with.

The whole sociopath matter is another thing entirely. Sociopaths can be untrustworthy, which makes dealing with them problematic.

Wow, no.

Of course a company will buy its shares if it sees it irrationally going down. Especially in terms of a vuln which could impact its rep. Finally you want to discourage hackers from profiting off,of,this nonsense.

Blackmailing a company directly is near impossible. Secret deals with a hedge fund are hard to track.
It's a bit confusing to say that about the Completeness theorem without noting that it only applies to first order logic. It's not generally true.

A typical 4WD without locking diffs will still spin wheels. You have to have differentials at each end to go around corners on pavement.

An AWD car has _3_ diffs, one in the middle that splits power F/R, and then one at each axle that splits it L/R.

Highend 4wd setups can lock the diffs so all wheels spin at the same speed all the time - essentially on slippery ground, but very counterproductive when you actually have traction.
It perfectly matches up with a 30 minute talk that I gave yesterday. It's meant to be read sequentially not as a reference. It's helped a lot of people already, and this format has worked in the past: the super tiny compiler has been turned into interactive tutorials and even recommended by professors. People love the format and I think it connects with people better.

But then again I don't know why you thought your opinion mattered if you didn't even read it. I guess that is the quality feedback I do expect from Hacker News commentors though.

I can't imagine the Greeks are too worried about what happens with the German banks, it seems far more likely they just don't trust their own government to run a fiscally sound monetary policy.
When you're working with people who are good with Excel, they will notice. If you're only ok with excel and just use vlookups, then you're probably going to have problems, especially since those people don't tend to keep a versioned history of their files. Really the main difference is that version control has become an ingrained habit in software development whereas with Excel it's rare
That lying to people in order to make your film feel more realistic is a bad thing to do, even if minor in the grand scheme.
That's my point. You should invest your life in something where the value is higher. VCs would rather take a much lower chance at a higher payoff because they spread their risk around more, you cannot do so.

My numbers are hypothetical, but they are not tautological. That's my point- the VCs will take the lower expected payout, whether this is because they are bad at estimating risk or not I cannot say. I can say this is how they operate, because I've seen it, in every single startup that took VC investment.
Until being open sourced, this was basically a one-man project, and the Nexus 5 was the only phone supported because it's what the guy had.

Theoretically it may get support for more phones in the future as more people contribute towards it and try to get it working on their specific phones.

Not sure I understand how that is possible. How would you implement a boolean "and" with only "mov"? If you can only move stuff around, how do you read and compare things?
"Any issue that china faces - they seem to figure out how to overcome it."

Apart from running a democratic and open society.
I don't follow this line of thinking at all. What's the argument here? That Chinese can't learn how to manage certain things? That they can't improve their educational system? Does anyone seriously think this is true?

And then to end with, well even if they do, we can just import their robots. Ok.. then wouldn't they "own next-generation manufacturing" if they are the ones making the tools, pushing what machines are capable of, etc. I mean, does the writer really think we can dominate next-gen manufacturing if we don't even make the tools? What's our competitive advantage then?
A minimal first step would be to split CAs out into "per-tld" CAs.

It would be a relatively easy change for browsers and ssl libraries to switch to saying "these Chinese authorities are only valid for .cn domains", or "these government CAs are only valid for .gov domains".

That wouldn't be as good as something closer to what you suggest, but it would be a lot easier to implement and would help a decent bit.

There are of course CAs that would remain global, and this wouldn't help if that's the large majority (Verisign, Digitrust, Comodo would be the obvious global ones)... but I believe there's a super longtail of CAs that honestly shouldn't be able to issue for most country TLDs.
Well we can't really compare subjective experiences. Driving backroads on dark stormy night can be fun regardless.

If you're driving in weather, acceleration should be a low priority (barring edge cases, like steep driveways). Contrary to Fast and Furious movies, accidents aren't generally avoided via acceleration. I'd rather be reminded that traction is spotty when attempting to accelerate on two wheels than abruptly finding out when I need to brake on all four.
tl;dr—don't use rollup with large untested dependencies

I've had projects that got really strange error messages when using rollup that completely went away when I switched back to Babel.

One "issue" with rollup is that it is not 100% semantically correct. Neither is Babel in all cases, but the creator argues that if you're not following exact semantics now, you're relying on your tests to ensure proper behavior, so use something that is at least more minimal and keeps your bundle size down.

So when you're writing code and bundling with rollup, you can pretty much ensure everything works fine, but as soon as you pull in an extensive third-party library you have no assurances that it has been tested with rollup and will work correctly in all cases. In the worst case, it will seem to work fine but in weird situations will actually error out. This was my experience with rollup.
They have resources, land and an interest in local manufacturing. Chinese software engineers are good enough for Baidu (and have big names like Ng to help them get up to speed).

Even in America, we recognize that Chinese (and other asian cultures) are often better at a wide variety of academic subjects.

Their great firewall and isolationism forced them to build their own software and it appears to work well.

I'm convinced that some percentage of their enormous population can work in engineering as well or better than our engineers.

Don't underestimate China.
Why out of curiosity? Just personal preference?
Good article, but I think the author understates a bit how hard it is for ANY foreign tech company to do well in Japan. You can almost always take your American business, apply it as-is (with some decent translation/localization) to major European markets, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, even South America, and so pretty well in most cases. Try the same in Japan, though, and you'll generally fail.

It's a wildly different culture in so many different ways, and there are tonnes of local competitors who are likely in your niche, but specifically targeting Japan, with an intimate knowledge of Japanese culture. The few foreign tech companies that have done well in Japan basically have a separate business and product just for Japan, like Yahoo Japan.

If you're thinking about investing significantly into entering Japan as an American tech company, you probably shouldn't, unless you're willing to invest HUGE resources into it (and even then, it's a massive gamble).
>China has made it a national priority to provide better standard of living to their people then the West.

this is patently false. the official Chinese government line is that the current western standard of living is not scalable. their reasons include that it is ecologically unsustainable to generate the kind of consumption and waste that the west does. this is not due to their strong sense of ecological stewardship but because they know it will be difficult for them to reach the US' GDP per capita, and they are trying to manage the expectations of their citizens.
There are absolutely political reasons for it. Both the dividing founders reason you mentioned, plus the fact that single founders are more likely to be technical while when two people found one of them is likely to be a business founder. VCs feel they can control the business founder (or replace him if needed) much easier than the engineer, because VCs are not engineers. (and they are not entrepreneurs in my experience either, though they seem to think they are and are happy to trot out the "exits" they were vaguely involved in, usually via friends and family equity.)

I agree with your priority- a pair of fully dedicated good founders is ideal.
You have it backwards - they see "a democratic and open society" as a problem they have overcome.
Is it? It's long been an article of faith among security pundits that short positions will (or even are, routinely) being used to liquidate security knowledge. But there aren't that many verticals in which vulnerability disclosures are really material to a company's underlying business.

How many fewer iPhones would Apple sell if someone found a way to "jailbreak" the SEP? The difference would be a rounding error.

How many fewer Jeeps will get sold if a new remote OTA car-crasher is discovered? What if Fiat Chrysler needs to do a product recall? Guess what: they already have to do those, all the time. Software vulnerabilities, however, can usually themselves be fixed OTA.

Companies deployed hundreds of thousands of RF and GSM-connected smart meters. Almost all of them had massive OTA vulnerabilities. How likely were any of them to mess with smart meter deployment? Pretty much not at all.

What we see with St. Jude is two cases in which vulnerability discoveries seemingly can have a material impact:

* In medical devices, where the markets are already tuned into and ready to vigorously punish product recalls.

* In M&A situations in regulated industries --- but then, that case is situational: you have to time your disclosure with an acquisition, and the flaw(s) you've found have to be so serious that they might delay the acquisition.

I'm generally kind of skeptical that hack-and-short is going to be all that lucrative.
I think the point of short selling is an activist way of saying "Have a fair price or see your stock price plummet when we do it the other way."
This is very interesting question and answer is not so simple.

First, if a company is a startup which is not yet profitable and burning investors money you should assume that the company is failing. Yes - you might be wrong (i.e., the company is AirBnB, Dropbox, etc.) not but in 95% of cases the company will eventually fail. In this case, just ask CEO/CFO/your manager about what is runaway, cash on hand, etc.

Second, if a company is already established (out of startup mode) then you can see signs:

- senior management leave (they have access to more informations than you)

- rapid flip-flopping on features and priorities (maybe caused by above)

- TPS reports become a norm
Do you happen to have a link to the article?
Well they aren't wrong.
I don't think its preferable to find a cofounder in an area that complements you. I think that this can be great, but what's most preferable is the right co-founder relationship. If the right co-founder is also an engineer, then that's fine. One of you should be CEO anyway, you can always hire business guys.

I think the classic mistake startups make is the duo where ones "business" and ones "technical" and the engineer ends up spending all this time building the product and the business while the business guy takes the CEO spot and controls something he doesn't understand. (assuming it's a technical business, if it's a non-technical business like a sport drink then a business guy for CEO makes sense, as sales are step key operational effort)
They are working on that too, albeit much slower, but they recently started opening up all the historical archives from previously censored eras.
Why would it be?

It's not like trying to coordinate rowers in crew; you have full, absolute, instantaneously-responding control over the motors, as well as information on exactly how fast they're going, how much force they're applying, how fast each individual wheel is turning, what the steering angle is, etc. And then what's controlling it is a computer, not a human.

Stability control, which already exists in every car, deals with all of those variables and is able to correct for driving with judicious braking (or release of the brake) on individual wheels, even when some or all may be slipping or locked up, the car going sideways, on varied surfaces.

Adding more things for a computer to control makes it easier, if anything.

You, like South Park, reverse the arrow of influence in service of punching-down.

It's not "I want to be like all the different-people," it's that aesthetics derive from the values of a cohort, and that subcultures exist in opposition to the mainstream by definition.

You want to be a hippie and stick it to the man.

People don't wake up one day and say "I want to be a hippie," they realize that they share the values of hippies (to whatever degree, never 100%), values which include aesthetic sensibilities. Note that we don't say people who listen to Maroon 5 are just trying to be game show panel members, or that people who wear suits are attempting to convince people they're CEOs or national leaders. Perhaps suits are an unconscious fashion statement?

That the mainstream attempts to victimize itself in response, where the only thing stopping a person from being goth or a monster truck person is a choice to acquire the appearance of the subculture, speaks to the vindictiveness of squares against anybody who would reject mainstream values. You yourself say that a person's looks qualifies as "sticking it to the man," illustrating perfectly a representation of subcultures as a threat. Alternatively, implying a mechanistic relationship between hippiedom and political upheaval (or even lawlessness) speaks to a kind of paranoia where the most extreme interpretation appears to be the most reasonable one.

Not only that, but "an attempt to fit in by dressing like your peers" is a normative interpretation that asserts that everybody is only ever trying to join whatever mainstream will accept them, which is about the least charitable interpretation of subcultural dynamics possible. The stereotypes you hold people to, using their appearance as the only signal, is as much a political act as signaling membership in a subculture via aesthetic choices. The problem is that only one of those acts has a positive connotation.
It does not seem like an issue to them. At least, not for their industry. Englandof 1700s was not an open and democratic society either, but it lead the industrial revolution.
