Dude, do you think this is a football game? That scoring a point against your opponent negates points scored against you?

I suspect a big chunk of the people complaining about this would have complained even harder when Bush did it (if what you say is true), if they had been old enough to be aware what was going on, and had social media like we do now.

So, what is your point? How does Bush doing it matter literally at all to whether Clinton should get in trouble?
And continuing to miss the point, your comment stands as a shining example. You did not like it. Others do. You are not the defining opinion on how people should live.

Fourier analysis indicates there is a huge space of timbre, but not necessarily a rich one. In my experience while timbres can be annoying, they aren't wrong like a an arbitrary harmonic progression is. Harmony being such a minefield is what makes its space so rich.

I am getting even unhappier with the democratic national committee ranking members who did what they could to sabotage Sander's run for the nomination. Just my opinion, but as a democrat I think Sanders would have such an easier time winning the general election. I would like to see a major magazine do a "public shaming" article on the leading DNC actors who acted unfairly and non-ethically. I would like history to trash these people because they deserve it.
Same thing that will happen with Trump although whatever that is isn't very clear. Though, I think it's a long shot that you indite clinton over this. She should be insulated. Trump, on the other hand, has been indited for TrumpU

I was getting ready to point out that Hillary really has a large lead, even if the day-to-day talking heads insist on making this and every race/issue seem as if it is 50/50 split. Then I checked 538.com [1]: they have her at 60% chance of winning -- pretty strong lead and hardly a normal time to throw someone under the bus -- but those graphs should be terrifying team Hillary.

Most startups use double trigger acceleration for vesting. The first trigger was the acquisition and the second was the termination (not offered a position). So they would vest their entire equity grant.

Of course that implies that the equity is worth anything. Most acquihires are at low multiples so the VCs tend to take the entire price, leaving founders and employees with nothing.
Funny.

I wonder if corporate media will bring up this story.

> When there's 8 houses on the street, there aren't many cars.

You'd think, right? I've found this strongly depends on the neighborhood. In my experience, the richer the neighborhood, the fewer cars you see, either parked on the street or driving about. In richer neighborhoods (of co-workers I visit for example), there's nary a car present. Few people driving in, out, and through, and all the homeowners' cars are parked nicely in their garages. In the neighborhoods I've live in, it's like Joe's Used Car Lot. Probably 3 cars to every house, all packed in together parked on the street, in the driveways, on the grass, cars everywhere, some functional. People driving through the neighborhood at all hours, sometimes speeding, sometimes gridlocked. Garages are all full of old stuff/junk and/or in-laws, not cars. Cul-de-sac or not doesn't seem to affect the environment as much as socio-economic class.

I think if you're so concerned about how you look on paper you should not be launching startups. Although some might argue that starting a startup has become a semi-established career path in itself, which I have mixed feelings about, and I suppose in that case it could be thought of in terms of typical career moves.

Also, a few hundred k/year in gross can get you a lot of very expensive ramen. That's probably more than most devs make at FB or Twitter.

If I ever decide to do something nefarious, I'll create a new username.

We definitively had problems with validators early on (I co-founded the company that pivoted into the .name registry; not been involved in it for over a decade - and it was sold to Verisign years ago), but we spent a lot of time harassing site owners with stupid validation, so most of the high profile ones were fixed very quickly. It helped that there were a number of other longer TLD's launched at the same time, like .info (there were a few that used lists of valid TLDs, as well, but mostly people just assumed the TLD couldn't be longer than three characters).

".name" was a pivot from offering an e-mail service (Nameplanet) were we let people register <something>@<lastname>.<various tlds> - we negotiated bulk deals with a range of TLD operators and so had 50k-60k domains or something like that.

Problem with giving people a ".name", I think, is that people often don't get right away that you mean it literally. Especially if you have an unusual firstname/lastname that they know, and you try to avoid spelling out the e-mail address by going "my firstname at my lastname dot name".

I've since gone back to just using my .com - discussing our respective <lastname>.<tld> and how there must be more people who'd like that was actually how it started.

>. Each party has its own protocol for this scenario, but in neither case does the running mate automatically take over the ticket. If John McCain were to die before the election, the rules of the Republican Party authorize the Republican National Committee to fill the vacancy, either by reconvening a national convention or by having RNC state representatives vote. The new nominee must receive a majority vote to officially become the party candidate. If Barack Obama were to die before the election, the Democratic Party's charter and bylaws state that responsibility for filling that vacancy would fall to the Democratic National Committee, but the rules do not specify how exactly the DNC would go about doing that. (Congress could also pass a special statute and push back Election Day, giving the dead candidate's party time to regroup.)

Don't use that site for any insight. Nate Silver had Trump at a "1%" chance of winning the GOP primaries. He then admitted that he got the call wrong because he really didn't have any models and was just spitballing with friends. His accuracy in the previous general election was based on the fact that he had visibility into private polling (WAY more accurate) and other forecasters didn't.
As a Gary Johnson supporter myself, I freely admit that he has some extreme policies that can turn off a lot of voters. But what really frustrates me is how many people I've heard from that do prefer him but are afraid to vote for him because of the spoiler effect.

I keep (wishful thinking) envisioning a scenario where he gets just enough votes that all of a sudden everyone on the fence realizes that maybe he could win and joins in, and then he launches ahead

Wishful thinking and politics aside: there's a term for that phenomenon on the tip of my tongue, but I can't quite place it. Can anyone think of one? Where there's a slow growth until you get just enough of something and then it takes off?
It might be kind of silly, but I think that the US government has to do a lot of shady things to ensure that we have a high standard of living and more of our share of natural resources.

Look up the origin of the term "banana republic" if you don't believe me. Or just look through how many things we did in South/Central America due to the doctrine of manifest destiny.

So if we have to do something bad to ensure a steady supply of oil at a reasonable price, sure. I can accept that.

But we should be discerning enough to figure out who to hire, and how to GET AWAY WITH IT to avoid repercussions. If you're the president, there's a lot more at stake here than your campaign - we're talking about full blown war.

I happen to believe that facts are important in a Presidential race.

Essentially your response is repeating talking points of the Trump campaign... which is OK, 1st amendment and all that but to pretend like you're making a constructive addition to the discussion / debate is folly.

Right now America has a choice between Trump, a racist, mysoginist demagogue who has never held a public office and Hillary Clinton. Hillary may have issues but she is also possibly the most experienced presidential candidate of the last couple of decades.

I think you are confusing gross and net, either that or you think employees and data centers are free. Or maybe not.. There certainly was enough left over to eat, but it ends up being dramatically less than what a real company around here pays.

Perhaps it is valid to call me out for complaining about a salary that is pretty normal for most us households, but I suppose I don't really know how to respond.

I mentioned gross rather than net or my own take home because it speaks to the size of the company, which is important, I think, in the context of getting the next job.

I was following the .family domain, set up a calendar date for the public release, etc.

Ended up learning a lot about these new private TLDs. They are controlled by a company, essentially, who can sell them for whatever they want and even raise prices on specific domains. ie. you can buy randomblah.family for the default $30, but for smith.family you're going to have to pay $5000 or whatever they set it at. My family name was set at $1300/year.

I emailed the holders of the TLD and complained to them, seeing as it's not my fault I was born with a semi-common last name. Eventually, after the domain didn't sell, they emailed me offering to sell it at a one-time $1300 price but the renewal would be $30/year, forever. Not bad, but I'm still not paying $1300. So I'm sticking with the crappy domain I currently have.
Take a look at the changelog for breaking changes - they even timestamp it.

That is true about the deprecation, although some of the earmarked breaking changes have been quite painful too.

Nice try.

Of course they're human, and shame on your for trying to use shame tactics to derail the discussion.

We can talk about group-level generalities while allowing for individuals that don't correspond to said generalities. Racism is not synonymous with "speaking in generalities", as you know damn well.

Here's another thing you know damn well: groups of people sometimes do bad things. Sometimes they even do these things systematically, save for a few outliers.

>As for "denying the problem exists" far from it, i instead want to see it change rather continuing with another decade of this hate.

Bullshit, as evidenced by your vitriolic accusations of "hate" and "racism" that follow from my description of the very problem you claim to recognize.

On the whole, as a group, Roma are violent, larcenous and fraudulent. This is not racism in the same way that "White people are responsible for slavery and segregation" is not racist. You know this and I know you know this. We see what you're doing, and it's shameful and disgusting.

Returning to the point at hand, it is evident that you've never had a Roma camp in your back yard (and if so, the implications for you are even worse). This attitude is exactly why the far-right is rising in the EU. You refuse to engage in a thoughtful discussion about a problem. Because of people like you, otherwise reasonable people end up saying "fine, call me racist if you want, but this phenomenon exists, I'm worried, and I want to talk about it". So what do they do? They run to the nearest group of people who will hear them out, which in the EU happens to be the far-right. The reason the far-right has this monopoly is because people like you have made the subject radioactive in mainstream politics. You have censored debate. You have stifled democracy. You have blamed victims time and time again. You discredit the grievances of upstanding people based on the color of their skin. You are regression and anti-intellectualism masquerading as progress and tolerance.

If you're European, I blame people like you for Berlusconi, Le Penn and Johnson.

If you're American, you embody the stereotype of the ignorant, arrogant American.

Either way, your impulsive accusations of racism trivialize the real thing, and do more to perpetuate far-right ideology than anything I've ever done, intentionally or otherwise.

For the love of what you claim to cherish: please stop.

I think so too, and that's a distinction that I tried in our debate to bring up. Broadly, my entire argument was around the use of social media, or at least the existence of social media bringing many new points of reference when looking at historical events in ways we didn't have before, and that if one wanted to, they could go and mine tweets, shares, likes, reddit posts from a fixed point in time and look at sentiment.

Well, because some sentiments were wrong (in his opinion because people like Kim Kardashian are allowed to tweet), the whole notion needed to be thrown out.

So I agree, it's an important distinction-though that distinction is inherently part of the "riddle" so-to-speak.

The reason I'm worried is that it's becoming increasingly clear why the GOP was so enthusiastic about blocking Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland to SCOTUS. That never made any sense, except in a bizarro world where they were very sure they weren't going to lose the Presidency.

Nate Silver has been wrong at every single juncture, as have the rest of the polls. We're off the beaten path and down the rabbit hole, and now we're staring at a trap door in a dark sub-basement that even the rabbit didn't know was there.

This is excellent! Thanks for building this. The onboarding is awesome, I was compelled to sign up after the walkthrough.
I was part of setting up .name - I'm named in the ICANN application - and I kinda agree with you. I've gone back to using my .com, because I had my <lastname>.com for years before we started .name and it's just simpler to get people to understand.

But I think .com is being undermined quite effectively simply by it being "impossible" to find good names. I get .com's when I can find something reasonable, but otherwise look at other alternatives. It will just take a lot of time. I also think this is more apparent outside of the US, where we're used to using ccTLDs a lot more often, and where ".com" in many cases implies "foreign, like US" which may or may not be what a company would like.

What's interesting to me is what "works" and doesn't as alternatives to .com.

E.g. I hardly ever seem to visit ".info" or ".biz" (who launched at the same time as .name) sites, even though at the time (I have no idea what the relative counts are like today) they were vastly more successful than .name. I don't see that many ".name"'s either, but still far more than many of the other early new TLDs. While many of the ccTLDs have managed to build some level of popularity (e.g. ".io") and others seems to have faded into obscurity (".cx" used to be quite popular in tech circles, but I rarely see it any more).
