So the touchbar has a setting where it behaves precisely like the current MBP? Esc, row of 12 keys, which are either f1-f12 or media with a setting, and are toggled between with fn? That's strictly worse if I only ever use it like that because it's the same but with soft keys, but sure that's basically the same.

I said that the climate change debate should be about how much effort to put into fighting it. "Zero" is a perfectly acceptable answer to that question (albeit one I disagree with).

The problem isn't that people are arguing that "zero" is the correct answer to the question. The problem is that we lack a shared basis of facts, to the extent that about half of the electorate will say that the question itself is based on false assumptions.
GStreamer is highly modular, so it makes totally sense to ship a set of plugins with subpar code, unclear patent/licensing, barely maintained in a dedicated package. They called it "bad", what do you expect?

I don't think the number of people matters much. The key to upholding the liability protection (and not "piercing the corporate veil" - google it) is to treat the company as a separate entity, not your personal slush fund. That means only pay business expenses from the corporate bank account (have a separate corporate bank account), no personal expenses from the business account, and no business expenses from the personal account . If you must use the personal account for business expenses, have the company reimburse you, but try not to make many transfers back and forth.

The other most common pitfall (and there are many) is undercapitalization. Make sure your company has enough assets to do business. I would put in at least $10k to start, and then add $5k when you get low. $1k would be the minimum if you are on a budget, I think. Only pull out cash when necessary.

Conform to corporate formalities, ie keep your taxes and fees paid, and file annual information statements, or whatever your state requires.

When do you incorporate? It's a judgment call. I have a side project I have been working on for 3 years and I haven't incorporated. I would think when you start having significant public contact and sales, and you think it will become a permanent business, it might become worth the expense. The other is if you think it has significant value and/or there are multiple founders. You could also start with a contract and then incorporate down the road. There are lots of ways to go and plenty of material on this subject.

Expected Salary for Financial Analyst Role in NYC
First time poster.

I'm wondering what I can expect for a financial analyst type role for a fintech start-up in NYC that seems to be doing well. Raised 10M and is about 30-40 people at the moment. I'm a fresh grad and decided to forgo investment banking for hopefully a thriving start up. My long term goal is to learn as much as possible and eventually start my own start-up. A few people who are in the same role have 1.5-2 years of experience in finance in roles like Ibanking and asset management.

Just wondering what I should expect for salary and how I should think about any equity?
A lot of news site are completely missing the fact that one of the biggest reasons it was announced right now was to give BJP (modi's party) an upper hand in upcoming Uttar pradesh elections.

Not many people know this but it quite common for political parties to distribute huge amounts of cash to voters beforehand elections to buy their votes (think trucks literally filled with 500 rs notes). Last time before UP elections there was a huge drive and a lot of cash was seized while crossing the Delhi-UP border just before the elections. This time it was a masterstroke by Modi and now wonder both the biggest parties in UP are worst hit and complaining the most about it (i.e.Mayawati and Mulayam singh).

Well, all of the money that moves into the bank accounts will be taxed. Won't the hit on that tax affect the poor more than the rich? Sure the rich might take a larger hit in absolute terms or even relative to the size of the money taxed, but the poor take a larger hit in that the money being taxed may be a life's savings pool (i.e. relative to their overall wealth / net worth).

Lots of people don't see the value of bitcoin when they pay for their coffee with their credit card and go about their day.

There are many uses but just to begin, bitcoin has already outlasted several countries' currencies (Venezuela, Zimbabwe) and it has no boundaries. It can't be controlled by a government (India, Cypress) and it's inflation will slow and stop (unlike Russia, Argentina, Japan).

Some ideas are big picture ideas. They don't help people take selfies, find a restaurant or communicate with celebrities, but their impact will be massive over a longer timeline.

Quote: "At the moment you can exchange up to 4,000 (£48) of the old rupees every day in cash for new 500 (£6) and 2,000 (£24) rupee notes."

Quote: "There is no limit to the amount that can be deposited in bank accounts until the end of December, but the government has warned that the tax authorities will be investigating any deposits above 250,000 rupees (£2,962)."

So, if you have a safe full of 1000 rupee notes, you have to deposit them. You just can't exchange them, because the rules make it impractical.

Visual Studio for Mac is a re-brand of Xamarin Studio. However, perhaps more importantly than the software itself, opening the Visual Studio brand to the mac environment signals Microsoft's commitment, yet again, to meeting developers in their chosen environment. Xamarin Studio is also based on MonoDevelop, so maybe this could accelerate a VS linux port, if they're so inclined.

Someone is flagged & dead in this thread for daring to suggest that Meliana Trump might end up as first lady. Another (also flagged/dead) response called them a "poll truther" for that comment.

A lot of people want to blame "bad polling" for this, but they were biased towards Obama turnout numbers, which didn't happen, and ignored the fact that Trump was filling rallies and Hillary wasn't. Or how being viewed as a Trump supporter can be completely unsafe: See also:

If you're talking about the pollsters, which are not necessarily academics (bias much?), it seems like a stretch to say that making a prediction of a complicated future event based on statistical techniques is due to a lack of critical thinking. Their prediction models will have to be adjusted, sure. But all the people that were "proven" right because their intuition happened to match the outcome are using a much worse critical thinking technique.

Also, Clinton won women 54% to 42%.

The Trump campaign exposed some serious problems with traditional newspaper reporting, which tries to be even-handed. This is based on the assumption that presidential candidates will generally be honest, and will generally base their arguments on facts. Trump broke that convention by basing his political career (starting with Birtherism) on lies, which led to "false equivalence" in the coverage.

In other words, serious reporting (as opposed to opinion pieces) treated lies as though they were truths. This could only be considered harmful.

There has been quite a lot of discussion around this. See, for example:

OK, suppose I have some software which is well written, works straight out of the box, and doesn't require any support. I'm quite happy for people to use it, but would like a share of any revenue commercial users gain through its use. With FOSS, if I give it away, I won't get any. If I sell it, there's nothing to stop the purchaser from giving it away, so I get paid once before seeing my work being given away.
Some tax forms don't have much for software options either, so you end up doing a lot of manual calculations. I've never come across anything for OS X that will do 1065 (the equivalent of 1040 for LLCs, general partnerships, and a few others).

I understand the smallest denomination, 0.00000001 (did I get the right number of zeros?) is called a satoshi, after the creator of Bitcoin. Correct me if I'm wrong here, with 21 millions coins and 8 decimal places, you have about 2 quadrillion [1] satoshis, which does seems to be quite a bit to last for a while. I'm guessing we hit the 2038 problem [2] first.

Of note, the US money supply, even including 2 decimal places, creates a space of 331 trillion units [3], as of 2016 [4].

I think the 1.5% margins would be a problem though. Plus I image the big supermarket chains have the benefit of large economies of scale taht the small individual stores don't have.
Additionally, I think you could do the job with much cheaper tools. For one thing, I definitely don't need a dissection scope to solder JTAG pins, nor do I need a hot-air reflow gun. I don't know enough about the particular JTAG bits and bobs he is using, but I've had success using the $5 JTAG programmers from Aliexpress. You need to know the pinout to use them though, which seems like one of the huge benefits of the options he listed. The solder fume extractor is pretty uneccessary as well.

I think if you went with the bare minimum required to tinker with JTAG on phones, you'd probably be looking at $100 (inexpensive soldering iron, cheapo JTAG, salvaged wall wart for power, kester solder/flux) to $250 (upgrade to temperature controlled iron, cheap bench supply)
We need a better funding model for Open Source than a relatively small number of tech companies effectively paying everybody else's bills, but I don't think that this is it.

Other people have talked about the developer side, but not-quite Open Source doesn't necessarily work for users, either. Open Source is often less about money than convenience: the difference between totally free and $1 is sometimes all the difference. If Product A is FOSS under a OSI-approved license you can use it everywhere: you can try it out at home and on personal projects, install it on your machines at work, perhaps try and get your company to standardize on it, and work with third-party services that use exactly the same software. Once there's a form or a fee then there's meetings, and paperwork, and hassle.
Although it makes the XCode interface design even more baffling.
Better software would not have helped in this situation. Most employees in non-technical organizations are (guess what?) non-technical. Most want to do duties reflective of their job title, and by and large, view computers and software as tools, and not things to be known or studied.

There's gotta be a good way to do the risk calculation. Take the the drop in salary most people take to join a startup subtract the payoff from a startups' exit event (usually more than big co's) multiply by the risk of a payoff while controlling for the stage you join (a 30 person company is much less likely to fail than a 5 person company etc.)

If you want to join the marines, you'll be screamed at, verbally abused, and generally pushed to your limits. It has to be that way, they are training 18 year olds to run to the sound of gunfire and perform under fire and the threat of death. You must put up with it or you do not belong in that group.

At the other extreme, if you want to join your local flying club, you can expect to be treated courteously. If anyone treats you like an asshole, the problem is with them rather than you. It can be that way, because the group is not trying to achieve anything extreme, its just for enjoyment and largely social.

If you want to join in the white hot stream of activity surrounding one of the world's most important pieces of software, its not going to be like your flying club.

Its not quite the marines either, but it is a place where very complex stuff has to get done, urgently, absolutely correctly, in the face of hundreds or thousands of interjections and "what about" from more or less well-meaning contributors who just don't have or get the big picture in the same way the core of the group does. (Talking about Linus here, not Trump :)

Sometimes, such an environment functions better with a culture of abruptness and "take no shit" is built.

Its very unfortunate for anyone who aspires to join such a group that they have to put up with that. But sometimes we have to acknowledge that that "terrible behaviour" is part of what makes the group work. Not all clubs are suitable for all people.

08/09 were terrible for startups - I had one that folded up in mid-08, and I was early. Most of the Web 2.0 generation called it quits over the next 2 years. Sept 2008 was the last time you could get easy funding until about 2010 - it was when Twitter did its big raise, then Sequoia's "RIP Good Times" presentation came out in October.

The current technology cycle started in '08, and most of the really big players today were either in search mode then (AirBnB, Uber, Instagram, Whatsapp, Kickstarter, Pinterest) or were in the early phases of growth (DropBox, Heroku, YC). A lot of them didn't raise Series A until late 2010 or early 2011. I think it's fair to call that the restart of the startup market.

Not a Lawyer, but my understanding is that a single person LLC is a waste of time. When something happened and you were going to be sued they would sue you as a person and you as a business. Protection really starts once you have an employee or cofounder.

As a hypothetical: A domino's pizza driver causes a wreck, the victim sues the driver, and domino's pizza. The only entity protected in that case is the uninvolved individual domino's share holder. As the only actor you would never be the uninvolved share holder, you would always be the delivery driver directly involved in the accident. Therefore you always have direct culpability that can't be hidden by the LLC.
