They are willing to serve my general-purpose computer a stream of data over the wire. What I do with that stream of data is none of their business. It's as simple as that. If they want me to view that data only if some conditions are met, it's their right - but they have to enforce it before sending the data, and not retroactively complaining afterwards. There's no moral issue here, except publishers trying to guilt-trip people into viewing ads, because they're too scared of actually asking for money[0]. They want to have their cake and eat it too.

It's actually pretty hard to create convincing email headers across thousands of emails.

Many of these highly eyebrow raising emails are CC'd to gmail accounts, for example. If it was fake, you could ask Google for the logs to prove at least it wasn't received.

And if there are DKIM headers, then that's certainly strong evidence that the header and body are legit.
it's not about specifying a type system, just letting users specify a tag for a type and then register a constructor for that tag, then inside it you can have whatever type system thing you like, the serialization format doesn't care, for example {"#Some:myOption": "s:value"}, the decoder will call the constructor registered for Some passing the value and not care about your type system.

You can bet your bottom dollar their is someone that's sitting in that CEO chair, even if only on paper so the owner(s) can hold someone accountable.

What start-up do you work for now?
Yes, and I wrote a short informal introductory email along with my resume. If you don't understand the problem from the perspective of the person doing the hiring you don't come across as a good problem solver. Hiring is a social human transaction.
Are you truly managing email through a command line interface? Or are you using something like Pine? Isn't Pine just a GUI created out of characters instead of graphics? True GUI interfaces compared to ncurses type solutions offer way more fidelity and power.

Waiting for it. Because I predict that with ads gone, the content that will be gone is the worthless kind. People are fine with sharing stuff for free out of the goodness of their heart, and they're also fine with asking for money for their services.

The problem with ads is that ad-driven sites serve content created only to support their ad-driven business model.
Economy 101
I almost got hired.

I had a very good phone interview and then an interesting set of coding questions with Silicon Valley Bank. Unfortunately, before we could meet in person and possibly have an offer - I got an offer from a startup I really liked but they wanted me to respond within the next few days. Given that my start date was less than three weeks out, I accepted the offer and had to quit the process but nonetheless it was quite a positive experience.
Sure it is. Greece is still a very safe country with excellent climate. Avoid athens, the overcrowded center and heavily-hit by the crisis. You will find the cost of living is very cheap for a european country (provided that you have your own source of income as you said- don't rely on finding a job here)

I think the answer to your first question is "if you put it up at public auction tomorrow, that would be totally illegal."

There are huge legal barriers to property sales, including requirements for energy audits and certification that the construction is wholly legal - which is probably isn't. Just like in the US, a great many safe and livable Greek properties violate zoning laws. Real assets are salable, but in this case the government has crippled the market's ability to clear.

All of which just reinforces your last point; the existing legal structure pretty much guarantees perpetual economic crisis.
Then why not leave?

If you are really producing the effort that makes the company successful I'm sure you could easily get a job somewhere else that'll pay you better and give you better support from up top...

I'm an engineer. I'm not saying only sales people should be rewarded. I agree that is asinine.

This is what I'm saying:
If a founder builds a business over many months and then hires an employee who can take over 20% of the founder's current workload, that does not mean the employee deserves 20% of the company, IMO. It does not mean that employee is "delivering 20% of the revenue." It merely means the employee is doing 20% of the founder's current work.

Equating percent of current work to percent of equity completely disregards the risks and effort involved in building a sustainable business. Developers tend to overvalue the software assets and undervalue the business relationships and other revenue-producing activities.

Hence my question about how the OP is arriving at their figure.

Could that just be fun to say, though? Why not extend the category to intoxicants? For example, the steam engine coming from refinements to distillation.

My point being that you can see technological innovation from the perspective of pursuing 'base' desires or as an outgrowth of intellectual curiosity or basic research, and make a good argument either way depending on what other points you want to make.

Your friend the chemist might seem to enjoy explosions a lot, but also be systematic and detail-oriented.
It's really nice that you feel that way, but I hope to hell I don't need to use software you designed. "Look and feel" and "Aesthetics" are core components of usable computer software, and consistency is the way you enable users to consistently use your software.

Setting aside the purely utilitarian aspect of being required to use a piece of software to do a task or as part of a job, consistency increases efficiency by reducing the amount of time spent understanding the deviations from expectation in the user interface.

Hypothesis driven data science is over the head of too many people.
Ad blockers are a thing on mobile, too.
WHATWG HTML and W3C HTML both define a valid syntax for content, as well as parsing rules that cover everything, even error cases. Postel's Law states: "Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others.". Modern HTML standards codify this rule in a serious and detailed way. I think Jon Postel knows more about real standards than you do.

People with your attitude are a big part of why the W3C HTML Working Group failed. It's easy to expound on what Real True Standards should be when you have no real skin in the game. Those with a real stake in the result care about what actually works instead, and have no time for this kind of philosophizing.
Give the article another look.

There are huge legal barriers to property sales, including requirements for energy audits and certification that the construction is wholly legal - which is probably isn't. Just like in the US, a great many safe and livable Greek properties violate zoning laws.

Real assets are salable, but in this case the government has crippled the market's ability to clear. If your market can't clear, you can easily end up with a high value asset which is totally impossible to sell. That's the Greek situation, where the requirement to pay tax on a house doesn't mean it's actually possible to sell it for value.
That last time I used Photoshop (a couple of versions ago perhaps) it was exactly the same on each platform and Adobe even used their own GUI widgets so the look and feel was consistent as well. Screenshots of CC 2016 that I can find lead me to believe that's still the case. What was the difference you found in terms of usability?
From what libraries/infrastructure they claim they're using, it seems like Flatpak would be the obvious choice for sandboxing.
Maybe Apple is using something like the Big Mac inflation index to determine their costs/pricing.

From January 2013 to July 2016, the price of the Big Mac went from to $4.37 to $5.04.

This works out about the same percentage increase for the $200 price bump.

I'm a teacher: the canteen staff know a surprising amount about students and can spot changes in mood/attitude very quickly. Its uncanny. Caretakers basically run the building. Advanced warning of furniture moving needs, and any special setups and a quick word of thanks afterwards, ensures smooth running. Good reception staff know where everyone is.

I agree, and if it successfully handles 80% or more of use cases then it's a win. I just don't have the expectation that it should handle the other 20% and if I had a use case in that 20% I probably wouldn't start addressing my problem by creating yet another JSON extension.

You have no way to challenge the assessor? Here (U.S.) you could put together a book of 50-100 similar houses and their sale prices. Take that to court and have the house reassessed.

The US isn't corruption free, but in my limited experience, it's hard to have an assessment wildly out of line with reality, 3x would be hard to justify.
>No they are not. They are willing to serve you pages with ads. Not pages without ads.

This is an out-and-out lie. They are willing to serve me pages without ads, because they do it every time I browse there with an ad-blocker. I make an HTTP request, their site responds. The HTML code asks me to download an ad, and I, through my ad-blocker, decline. That doesn't stop their server from sending me the content.

If they don't like that, they're perfectly free to design their site to force me to download ads in order to view the content. They have every right to, for instance, show me a video ad, and then have me take a quiz to demonstrate that I viewed the ad and remember it, before continuing on to the rest of the site. If they don't want to do this, that's their problem, not mine.

>No ads = they don't exist = no content.

It's not my job to worry about their business model.

>My bet is that companies just find a way around ad-blocking

Well, they could just embed the ads into the page, such as by serving them from the same domain and making it non-obvious which images are ads and which are not. People have been proposing this for ages. But the ad companies don't like it because they don't trust their own clients to accurately report ad-servings. Again, not my problem. They need to fix their own business model. If they can't do that, and go out of business, that's their problem. They should have done a better job coming up with a viable business model.

This may sound greedy to you, but for you to have the absolute gall of telling people that they need to expose their computers to malware is purely asinine.
I think this is why I am finding these models so expensive.

They don't really look different to laptops 2-4 years ago. That used to be a huge amount of time performance-wise.
Why is it that these people are nice and kind when they finance your government spending for decades but turn into facist greedy bastards when they come asking for their money back? That's what it boils down to.

Why is that that everybody else starting from EC and ECB and ending with corrupt polititians (who, it would seem, have magically appeared from amongst non-greek) is to blame but I'm yet to see any citizen taking responsibility. "Yes, it felt good voting for populists and enjoying massive social benefits from the state and not really having to pay taxes but now I have a hangover". That's democracy for you. Your right to vote comes with a responsibility for the consequences.

> You sell the house

This is a way bigger hurdle than anyone is making it out to be.

There are huge legal barriers to property sales, including requirements for energy audits and certification that the construction is wholly legal - which is probably isn't. Just like in the US, a great many safe and livable Greek properties violate zoning laws.

Why on earth are we assuming that Greece has smooth-running property markets that allow people to sell houses for their nominal (or any) value?

> Just Don't. Leave it the fuck alone.

Reminds me of a passage from "Working Effectively With Legacy Code" by Michael Feathers. The book is about dealing with those times when you absolutely must make changes to that old system.

This is from the end of Chapter 1:

It's tempting to think that we can minimize software problems
by avoiding them, but, unfortunately, it always catches up with
us...In poorly structured code, the move from figuring things
out to making changes feels like jumping off a cliff to avoid a
tiger. You hesitate and hesitate. "Am I ready to do it? Well,
I guess I have to."
I'd say 'trustless' applies more to the users and community than the technology itself.

Any specific resources you'd recommend on data cleaning, verification, etcetera? I've just started reading this: https://www.amazon.com/Accuracy-Economic-Observations-Oskar-... . I've seen a few other books on the subject which I'm planning to get into, but I'd be interested if anyone has specific recommendations.
I won't agree with you just because you are presenting "some" numbers.

I know for a fact that my parents that live in Greece, and do not rent and own 3 flats and 1 house all of them divided equally to a different person within the family including me have to pay an "emergency" taxation on the electrical bill which is a lot of money. (A LOT OF MONEY!)

Atm my parents are pensioniers and they don't rent neither have any money in the bank. They are called out to pay 4000 euros / 2 months tax on the property they own. Eventually they will have to sell their property in order to be able to afford to live. Issue is that the market has crushed and the money they gonna make if they sell their property that has been with them from grandgrand parents and more which means sentimental value as well, is gonna be sold for pennies.

The problem is that people around the world don't understand that middle class Greeks are suffering for what "RICH" Greeks and politics have caused. Sure its middle class people that voted those politicians in and didnt hang them up including rich people but meh...

Seriously Rich people in Greece pay no tax and they don't care as well.

Dictatorship has been governing Greece for a very long time including now.

Btw sorry for coming strong on you, its just that your facts are literally off.
This is old news. We've known since 1830 that a man named Nephi built a boat, and his father Lehi was given a golden compass ball called the Liahona that directed them from the Arabian Peninsula to South America where they built a massive civilization. After 400-500 years a curious man named Hagoth built another boat and settled Polynesia. It's all documented in the historical tome called the Book of Mormon. [Source: Former Mormon :)]

> Well, that's confusing too. If you show a shipping cost on the item, your average consumer would expect that they could buy just that item for that shipping price.

Displaying it as "If you add this item to your current order, it would increase the order's shipping cost by an estimated $0.00" ought to allay any such confusion.

> If you have multiple warehouses this gets even more complex, you essentially have an NP-complete optimization problem. That may not even be possible to do in real time, let alone on every page load.

The shipping cost of the items in the cart could be calculated once whenever the contents of the cart changes, and the number cached. So you'd be doing one shipping calculation per page load, for the contents in the cart plus the item being viewed. And NPC or not, I don't think that would be prohibitively computationally expensive in most cases. After all, people don't typically order thousands of different products, that might ship from any of hundreds of different warehouses, in a single online order. If it made someone more likely to click the "Add to Cart" button on a given item, it might be worth it. And you could have some threshold (number of different products on the order, for example) above which the marginal shipping cost is not calculated and displayed.
