> changing the MiFiD II rules that aren't even implemented yet

Do you have a link to details? My understanding was that the passporting rule just makes licenses for banking valid in the entire EU (instead of only the host country) and that there are provisions to include countries with rules similar rules to MiFiD outside the EU, and the UK is currently still working implementing MiFiD to make this easy (also they will possibly still be a member state when the rules trigger)

(I admittedly don't really follow Brexit-news, since to me it seems 95% of it is utter speculation. If banks really thought there was unavoidable trouble coming, they'd be moving and not just talking?)
It's in the Worse is Better essay. Strange enough, the essay series the author drew on advised the opposite strategy because it wins in the market. Here's a simpler one from someone who developed a product in high-assurance security then worked to turn Microsoft security around:

https://blogs.microsoft.com/microsoftsecure/2007/08/23/the-e...

He details why they put marketing and shipping first with constant improvements on correctness or security. On top of this, I advise just embedding the benefits into the product & designing it for easy change so components can be replaced once big revenue comes in. As development pace slows, QA pace can increase on components stabilizing.
It would behoove everyone to learn the basics of the terms you are getting stock. I have been through it and know. It will take you a couple afternoons of casual reading to nail it down. But to save you some time let me give you a template for the type of stock option deal you want and you don't want.

Don’t want
1)	409A valuation price is already in the multiple dollar range.
a.	Why : You can’t afford to exercise do to tax burden
2)	No acceleration – e.g. in the event of sale or IPO your unvested shares DON’T fully vest.
a.	Why: You should be rewarded for taking the risk position. Negotiate acceleration or what is known as ratcheting if you are a very early employee.
3)	Stock buyback rights – The company has the right to buy back all your shares if you leave the company before a liquidity event
a.	Why: This is a prison sentence and a total gamble as you really own nothing until an event.
4)	The company is past its 3nd round of funding. In all but rare cases your percentage ownership will be so low at this point it is not worth it.

WANT
1)	409A valuation price is in cents and the stock option plan has an early exercise option.
a.	Why: You can file an 83b election with the IRS and pre exercise all your stock for a few hundred dollars. Because the strike price is the same as the value you will owe 0 tax. In addition you start the clock on long term capital gains as soon as the stock does vest according to the vesting schedule. This is how all the big boys make their money. As they vest you actually own them and are free to leave the company at any time with what has vested.
2)	Acceleration or ratcheting – In situations like the company gets bought, IPO or management wants you gone and you have unvested shares they must accelerate your vesting schedule. You own them and can go anywhere you want.
3)	The company is in seed or series A and you own at least 0.5%+ of the company.
a.	The company’s founders do not want to take series C unless they absolutely have to. Ask them!

In short, you will only be rewarded by taking the risk of wasting your TIME in an early stage that has potential with a good founding team. And never forget the freaking 83b election!
Don't spend the money before you have it in your account. It's easy to get lured into the idea that the paper money is real ("worst case, it's worth 25% of that and it's still millions!"). There are still so very many things that can wipe that out, if not to zero, to something that isn't even close to life-changing money.

Easier said than done, but really the best thing to do is focus on your current work / life. Keep saving, keep working hard, enjoy yourself the same way you have. Don't get a fancy new car that you normally wouldn't get because "soon it won't matter". Don't drain savings, don't live a lifestyle you think you'll be able to afford soon, don't shop for houses, etc.

That you describe mindfulness meditation as "new-age" suggests to me that you aren't familiar with it, and are dismissing it out of hand rather than thoughtfully. The new-age movement has a spiritual element to it, mindfulness meditation does not. The complete, entire point of mindfulness meditation is learning to be present and aware of the workings of your mind. Real-time self awareness is not "new-age fake hipster", it's a valuable skill, particularly for depressed people. Having this improved self awareness can include recognizing when you become relatively more or less sad, which can lead you towards or away from various situations and behaviors.

I think you're reacting negatively because of the commenter's association with LSD. That's not representative of the mindfulness practice in general, so if that feels a bit too "Berkeley" for you then don't throw away the baby with the bath water. Personally, I've never tried LSD, and although I'm a bit curious about it, I've read accounts of people being mentally crippled for years by a bad trip - not worth the risk.
Tim Cook has performed well for share holders. He has led Apple to record shattering profits, huge cash surpluses, and even in years like this where they came in under target, they still dominated in profits relative to their peers.

For share holders, the pressure on Tim Cook is not for him to step down. The pressure on Tim Cook by many share holders is to focus only on iPhone and for him to abandon the Mac, Apple TV, and other things that are not considered material to the profits of the company.

We saw this before during the iPod domination years. Vocal share holders wanted Steve Jobs to ditch the Mac and focus only on iPod.

What is your suggestion? Should the EU change all their rules so the UK can leave but keeps all the advantages? Like the Brexit clowns promised before the referendum?
I think one cause of the problems is that what is good at Google scale is not necessarily relevant for a team of ten people.

I think the lesson here is be critical of "best practices" and think about what will work in YOUR context.
During my new grad interview there I was made privy to some very questionable security decisions that they mentioned linked to PCI-DSS, but nothing on this level.

Edit: PCI compliance rules out plaintext storage so it seems unlikely.

It's worth noting that plaintext storage might not be the case if they store the fourth and only the fourth character separately at encryption time.
Interesting, I wasn't aware of that thanks. I just did some reading up.

However it looks like to be eligible the UK would have to effectively rubber stamp all the EU's financial services regulations into UK law, but of course without any of our current influence as a member over drafting it. So much for winning back Parliamentary sovereignty!

> nobody sabotages all of humanity's major triumphs this way

It may be "humanity's triumph" for you and me, but there are people who couldn't care less about that - people, for whom the only relevant thing is its impact on their political and economical standing. Such people are the ones who tend to find their way to positions of power.
Probably many: the processor has to be made by millions (per model, not in total) to become reasonably priced, and it will still be slower and/or hotter than an offering from Intel who have spend untold man-years honing their architecture. Think Talos and IBM Power8, IBM being a serious force behind the Power architecture, with companies like Google among its customers.

RISC-V should have a key advantage and exploit it. IDK if the advantage of openness would be key for general-purpose laptops. Special laptops would probably be available but pricey; compare to other niche laptops, like highly-protected ones.
All of that, plus tax software companies, such as Intuit lobbying against simplifying the tax code.

https://techcrunch.com/2013/03/27/turbotax-maker-funnels-mil...

And once again we reach the conclusion that corporate lobbying and donations are the "root of all evil" in American politics, and everything is broken because of it. Larry Lessig has been right all along when he said this needs to be fixed before anything else [1]. Because once this is fixed, everything else should be a lot easier and a lot more in tune with what the People want [2].

It's just so easy and so cheap for corporations to buy votes right now. Why wouldn't they do it, when the upside is billions of dollars and there's no penalty for it? They can literally buy a vote with a few thousand dollars "donation". Set a limit of $200 (maybe $500 for presidential candidates) political donation per year per person and imprison (6-36 months) anyone who dares to do it any other way, fast and furious, no matter who he is, wealthy billionaire or former president. It's the only way to escape this corruption in the system.

Also, I think the U.S. would need a special agency whose sole mission is to look for this type of corruption. In this case, "mission creep" and the purpose of maintaining their jobs would work in the People's favor. The more the agency would do (catch corrupt donors or politicians), the more it could justify its existence. Similar agencies have seen a lot of success in Europe, trying to catch corrupt politicians.

Also, it's not a purely gender thing. My mother, of hispanic upbringing, finds that she cannot banter the same way around American-raised women as she can with other hispanic women. It turns out that getting easily offended and trying to ruin people's careers over it is not innate to women, but has for some reason arisen out of American culture and also afflicts many men.
Yes, we are; no, it's not just you. Next question.
No, you could think up 20 different plausible "common mistakes", add fixes for those and roll out to some subset of users, and then just count the improvement rate of each fix to get the best four.
I mostly agree with everything you say, just pointing out that it is a religious viewpoint to take some claims of the supernatural at face value and reject others.

History shows us many accounts of the supernatural, but we cannot believe them all, since they are contradictory. E.g. Paul claiming he saw Jesus in a vision, Mohammad claiming God told him that Jesus was not killed, legends that Alexander was the son of Zeus and so on. At least some of these accounts of the supernatural must be unreliable. It is purely an act of faith to decide to believe some and not others, since there is no scientific way to validate the claims.

I think we need to coin a new term like: "early employee valley of death" [1]

Post founding, there's this time period where the early employees are expected to work pretty much like founders (long hours, wildly high expectations), but with a greatly reduced salary and the promise of large option grants.

This unfortunately places the employee in a really bad negotiating position with respect to salary increases, etc. as their starting point was so bad. I've been in this spot and a couple years on had to _fight_ just to get a market rate.

Well, Avro embeds the schema with the messages, and deserializing the message will default to using that schema.

TinfoLeak – Full Information About a Twitter User Activity -
I've had some contact with a big client e-mail filter, (30k+ users) and we chose to expose a soft SPF in the external DNS and a hard SPF in an internal DNS used as a cache by the mailfilter.

This was a workaround because the big org had countless 3rd party suppliers of services who many times wanted to mail as @big.corp. And this was fine when mailing to big corp as we could whitelist their senders in the SPF service config, but when mailing to the rest of the internet like gmail, yahoo and hotmail we needed a soft SPF fail instead of having to add those countless servers in our DNS record.
Well that hasn't worked out well for other sites so that is why I was curious as to how you will handle this differently.
There are many. One really useful one is that final variables will be pulled out along with their dead code branches. Say I have a library which allows different "sizes" of a list. The fastest way to sort that list depends on the number of max entries.

With JIT you can set the size when you create the object, and if JVM knows that value can't change it will pull out all the branches for different sizes and run only the one for selected size.

There's no way to know which sizes will be selected at compile time if the lists can be dynamically created, so a static compiler can never pull out all the checks the list size.

This is a simple example but the JIT is very smart and makes a big speed difference in practice. It's the main reason Java is faster than C in some benchmarks
3 Indian Banks Are Under Cyber Attack -
Yeah, most of the time, there is an expectation that employees will be employed at a market salary and remain content with that. There are not many ways around this. If you don't want to be a wage slave, it's hard to wage slave your way out of it. Just have to save until you can start something on your own, rinse and repeat until you strike it big.

The systems are always going to be biased to the people who have the most money. You may realize you're getting a terrible deal, and their deal is much better. That's not an accident, and asking them to fix it is just going to cause suspicion and anger, especially if you blow past their facially spurious justifications for this ("I'm taking a lot of risk here!!!"). The real answer is "I have more money than you, so I can set the terms to favor myself".

I'm not necessarily saying there's anything wrong with that per se. Consider the flip side. You've promised an employee that he will make 10% of what you make that year, even if it means you're tithing that to him directly. You make $10M. Your employee makes $1M. Is your employee going to stay employed, or is he going to leave immediately and use that $1M to start something that will make him $10M next year, or even just to buy a fancy house on the beach and invest from home without having to pull a 9-5 every day? Making your employees too prosperous can really hurt your company, because everyone will quit when there is no longer a financial imperative to work together.
Start working fewer hours or even take some time off if you can. If the management at your workplace is not completely broken they will understand that you can't continue this way - a broken employee is of no value to the company. If you don't stop, it most likely won't get better, fixing yourself must have the highest priority now above all else.

You might feel that it's impossible right now, but that's not true. Once you break the loop, things will look completely different.

I wish you the best.

I read through the study about which this article reports.

The first two experiments are not very robust. They present a _plausible_ association between cursing and honesty, but it's not especially convincing.

There is so much potential for confounding variables and sampling defects (e.g. self-reported data from Mechanical Turk users, a group who may not represent the population at large) that you could drive a truck through it.

There are likely many other plausible explanations for the results that don't actually depend on an association between cursing and honesty.

For instance, in the first experiment, participants were asked question such as "Are all your habits good and desirable ones?" If they answered, "Yes," it was considered a lie. But it might alternatively indicate several other things, such as poor reading comprehension, paranoia about how the answers might be used, poor self-inventory skills, etc.

As for the third state-level experiment, it's just silly. It's the sort of thing you might see on Buzzfeed or my own site, Correlated.org. Don't take it seriously.
Don't have a good answer but I believe drug abuse is on the rise so if drug abuse is rising (and not due to increased desire to self-harm) then this statistic would increase as well, and the phenomena would be conflated.

Given there's so much ink being spilled about the drug abuse increase in America, OPs statement makes sense to me and unless they are separated (again we are talking about under 200 data points) I think it's tough to say self-harm is explicitly on the rise.
But I think the smart share holders are very weary of Apple moving into the Ballmer era. MS was in the same boat, hugely profitable but drifting into a technical no mans land where people lost interest in the platform and do not care to give them a second chance once viable other options are available. Apple is absolutely still a money printing machine, but they are skating on thin ice with product quality and innovation. With a new CEO Apple will still be a money printing machine, but maybe get some of its mojo back.

I haven't played around with it much, but look at the layers of the network. First layer is the inputs which is pretty much one for each input square. If you want to be fairly optimal figure you need to look at 5 lanes total and at least 10 squares ahead (and maybe a few behind if you need to get out of a jam) so that's 50 inputs per frame but it is taking inputs from 4 frames so that's 200+ inputs in the first layer (plus 15 for the actions for the last 3 frames).

The output actions are 5 so that is the size of the output layer.

You can change the number of nodes in the middle layer but you can also cut-and-past that code to add additional layers.

I think you probably need at least two layers, the first to determine which lanes are clear and the second for figuring out how to maneuver into the desired lane.

With such a large network, training will take longer so stick with the default iterations until you feel like you need more fine tuning.
Then, respectfully, you don't remember 10.0.
