Apple understands that the experience of using the hardware is incredibly important, particularly when they want to be able to command premium prices. This drives their control over software. The software is in service of selling the hardware. You could argue that they're selling the overall experience, but that similarly supports their relatively tight control over software.

Side note: services ≠ software

I am sorry about that and thanks for correcting me.
It looks like the acquisition price was about ~$14 or so. From the S1, it looks like the following:

2014 employees had strike prices of $1.70-$2.43
2015 employees had strike prices of $4.48-$7.02
2016 employees had strike prices of $8.10-$12.94

For the employees who didn't exercise and hold the shares for over a year, this exit might have been worse than an IPO. In the IPO scenario, they would have the option to hold the shares for more than a year which would make them eligible for long term capital gains. In this case, the employees with options will probably be taxed ordinary income tax which can be over 50% in some cases.

While they will still have a great exit, such a high tax rate is still painful. Sometimes for a company as solid as AppDynamics, it is worth it to exercise early.

If you don't have money to exercise early, companies like the Employee Stock Option Fund exist to help cover the costs of exercise and potential taxes.

How do you know this?
- Gas is $2.50 A gallon (in Atlanta, the average commute is 33 miles in traffic, so a weekly fill up in relatively ordinary, this is not a uber compatible number)

- Synthetic Oil parts cost $26 for 6 quarts + $10 for a premium filter.

- A Car Wash Once a month is $20

(I didn't list any surprises, alternator, cooling system, ac, blower, emissions, brakes, suspension, oil leaks, wheels, etc - and I can assure you that plenty of people spend over $1000 on many of those when they go to designer car shops or dealers.

I definitely forgot that I was talking within the context of trips that are your typical uber trips.

Do people find it worth the time to read books on productivity like Getting Things Done, Eat that Frog, etc.? And learning more about things like Org mode?

I know robots.txt is all about respect in the first place, but is it really expected that obtained-via-robot mirrors will be made inaccessible to humans during periods of time when the upstream prohibits robotic fetching following that original fetch? It seems much more reasonable that the mirror would merely prohibit robots, not humans, from fetching its copy during periods of time when the upstream prohibits robots.

The app collates your phonebook/Facebook contacts and you can create your own groups! You can create groups for people who are good friends, besties or acquaintances. So when you're making a plan to do something, you can send out an invite to whichever group you choose. At that point, invites are sent out randomly (you can also choose instead to handpick who you invite) to those in that group. It's kind of like social potluck. Let serendipity choose who you end up hanging out with.
None of those steps are unreasonable if you're using EC2. An ops person wouldn't _want_ any of those things taken away.

I use Codeship [1] for personal (private) project and Travis CI [2] for open source ones. I had also use AppVeyor [3] for one of my Windows web app project.

I chose Codeship since it was the only one (at the time) that had BitBucket integration. The free tier (100 builds / mo) was more than enough for my side projects. In addition, it supports a lot of deployment targets (e.g. ElasticBeanstalk and Heroku).

I use Travis CI for open source projects initially since it is what everyone uses :) However, one feature that I find really useful is the test matrix. I used it to test my project against different Java version and Cassandra distribution versions [4].

I use AppVeyor on one of my side project (which lies dormant now) since needing to test against both *nix and Windows build (a .NET / Mono web application).

Having backups is obviously always a good idea but that aside, how likely is it, that mirroring this data is actually necessary? There are obviously at least some people believing that it is necessary but then there are always people convinced that the most silly things are necessary. I am really unable to tell whether this is more of an overreaction or an urgent necessity, especially as someone not living in the US. Is the future just [perceived as] so unpredictable, that better safe than sorry is the right mindset?
Awesome. Is there the same thing but for all public datasets? I saw recently someone showed a federal site had put up a (hastily hacked in) link to download all data on the day of the inauguration. I bet there are a lot of federal employees who would like a well-resourced site to upload to.

I have BS in EE, went into software development and got an MBA after becoming a software manager. The two most impactful subjects that really changed the way I think were Queuing Theory and Real Options Valuations.

You don't need an MBA to learn about these yourself, but without an MBA I probably would have come across Queuing Theory (in the form of Kan Ban), but likely never Real Options Valuations.

So if anybody here is considering an MBA, look into both subjects and see if another half a dozen or so similar and related topics might be interesting to you.
While that is true and the mysql query cache definitely became a scaling issue as machines got bigger with lock contention etc., postgres doesn't even have a similar feature period.

Suppose you have a query that is doing a group by on a low cardinality field (eg. state) on a hundred million row table. Large amount of data in, small amount out. postgres has to actually look at all the rows to re-run the query. The mysql query cache only has to pull the tiny number of results out of the cache for that specific query.

This is a dangerous feature because there is a super slippery slope as traffic increases... any change to any of the tables invalidates the cache when you need caching most, and hits all queries against those tables at the same time. But if used well in an environment with many copies of the data (replicated or otherwise) where you could manage when updates happened, it can be a lifesaver.

InnoDB also has its own buffer pool that caches rows and is in general terms similar to the postgres buffer cache.

It is fair to say that mysql has a lot more features like this that are "sometimes life-saving hacks that can bite you hard if you don't understand them" and postgres is much more restrained in ensuring the features are a little more general and thought through.
Skuuddle is an app that aims to expand your active social circle. The app does it by mining your phonebook/Facebook contacts. You can categorize people into groups depending on how well you know them.

When you're making a plan to do something (throw a party, go see a movie or gig, for example), you can send out an invite to whichever group you choose. At that point, invites are sent out randomly (you can also choose instead to handpick who you invite) to those in that group. It's kind of like social potluck. Let serendipity choose who you end up hanging out with.
I'm sincerely dismayed that this is necessary.

Open it up and hot-glue some fishing weights inside.

I know exactly what you mean about feeling cheap and lacking heft, but it's usually about sheer weight, not materials or build quality. A lot of cheap, poorly-made products are lightweight because they shave material to save money, so our brains associate "lightweight" with "poor quality".
I am a nationally registered paramedic and EMT in the United States.

I have a reasonable understanding of the rules and training in both the US and in Canada (because I've worked with many Canadians).

>Who's going to vote for Progressive Republicans? No Republican.

You used a capitalized P so I assume by "Progressive", you just mean Democrats, in which case you are probably right. However, if you get your mind out of the two party system long enough for critical thought, you might find that you can have socially progressive and fiscally conservative people. Or socially progressive and states rights people. Or socially progressive and small government people.

>Data shows over and over that it's Democratic Presidents that provide the most stable and fiscally responsible administrations.

How much did the debt grow under the Obama administration?

>Your arguments are full of holes

That's not an argument.

>You're talking about a handful across a political party of thousands of virulent anti-choice, anti-gay, anti-science elective officials.

That was the result of a two second search to show refute a false claim. Don't shift the goal posts.

> I think it's more, not Nerd, don't care what peers think and do what really matters, instead of what appears to matter.

Hmm, no this shows the same kind of condescension (which I totally agree isn't intended) as in the article, characterized by the quote While the nerds were being trained to get the right answers, the popular kids were being trained to please.

Do you think teenage nerds do what they do because they think it's the thing that really matters?

Or perhaps just because it satisfies their urges? Is there much difference from the motivation of those who work to become popular? For me the only difference is the particular urge: For nerds it's maybe curiosity and intellectual stimulation, for others it may instead be social acceptance/validation, wanting to be influential, perfectionism in craft or sport, etc. The fact that curiosity doesn't breed social aptitude is coincidental.

> .. the answer to your "trap of condescension"

I admit I didn't fully follow you here. Although I'm not a fan of Carnegie, I agree the ability to see other's point of view is important, and think that it comes late to must people. Often long after the insecurity of teenage fades away. But it's not a very difficult problem, let alone the most.

A job is just a job, they come and go. We trick ourselves into making them seem far more important than they really are, but ultimately it's just a means to an end. It's so easy to lose sight of that when life gets busy.

Even I love G+ on principle, but that's the point, in principle. The problem with G+ goes deep, first of all, they just assumed that a network gets traction because of beautiful UI, it is not the case, if you look at facebook's growth, it started as a way to talk and later as a dev platform, because of farmville and games like that they get a lot of traffic, so essentially facebook means different things to different people.

When fb came into existence there wasn't much of a competitor to it, so they focused on making it easy to use and stuff, later, when g+ was being created they misread the entire picture. At that point fb had become a platform or was becoming a platform. Currently, FB has different users, some use it as a buy sell group, some for messenger, some for playing games (APIs) etc

g+ didn't focus on good things, just beautiful UI doesn't mean you win, you have to differentiate yourself, they should have gone this way, start a private beta, build a terrific API for developers, so devs will flock to your platform and build apps on it, plus the circles stuff, it is great for geeks like us, but not so much for my grandma, who doesn't even know what google means. Plus, g+ takes an awfully large amount of time to load on slow network. Overall. Plus they don't have an end vision.

Medical advice doesn't in fact change every few years. It's pretty steady actually.

Your analogy fails to make it's point in a comparison between nutrition science and medical science nutrition science comes out way way behind. If medical science did change as often as nutrition science and had as adverse an effect overall as nutrition science has had we'd probably all still be going to our local shaman instead.

I keep hearing this about Glocks. While kind-of true (if you're not prepared to shoot something, why is your finger in the trigger guard?) I also believe in safety-in-depth, so my first pistol was a revolver (very heavy trigger pull, hard to make a mistake), and my second was an HK USP with a positive safety.

Don't get me wrong. I love the Glock 19 and 26, they're great. But I wouldn't recommend them as first pistols. There's a hell of a lot going on in an autoloader, and another level of "this thing won't go off" is pretty reassuring in the beginning.

Can you focus on one problem at a time? First, just go buy an ice cream. Take you kids in a car ride, to the playground - and eat ice cream. Listen to them laugh. Play with them. See you in them. Take time off work, go to that place in town that makes your heart smile. For me, it's the mtn bike track - what is it for you? GO see a movie, talk to someone in line. Ask them about their day. Have pancakes. Now call someone - anyone - and just say "can we have lunch"? Small, controllable wins are your way out. Your kids are your way out. The "mind-fuck" will go away.

It's so hard to realize that our self-worth isn't in the things that we owe. I've struggled with it myself many times. How can I be so good at so many things and yet be an absolute moron when it comes to money?

It seems so simple. Just don't spend it.

It's like my Mom's voice calling out to us as I ran out the door in high school.

"Don't sin!"

She had long given up trying to lay out a long list of things we shouldn't do and distilled everything into the most essential kernal.

"Sure mom, I'll get right on that"

For a month I can be really, really good. And then there's a closeout on new Canon lenses at B&H and it's all over.

Soon enough, it all adds up and like Dennis, you have a couple of medical bills or a job go south and the ship just sinks around you.

Nobody cares and there's nothing you can do.

But it's obvious to me after reading this thread that our community DOES CARE and will reach out desperately to help.

Our self worth is far greater than some crappy shack.

The lives we touch and the memories we make mean so much more than the possessions we have.

The pain I feel inside for Dennis is touched only by the willingness of this team to reach out and help him.

I hope we can assist his family in some way.
Spend more time than allocated on complex cases, then run late and short on others. More typical of specialists, but GPs do it too. Beyond that, incrementally, 1 appointment/billing code and a new test/intervention at a time. Until the patient gets better, worse or gives up.

Are you in US? Is double consult something insurance/government pays for twice for you? Or are you are talking about a different billing code? Or self-pay?
It's also important to note the difference in how text is consumed online vs in a book.

I am a native English speaker and I was confused on the first pass when reading quickly and ignoring punctuation.

Reading slower and taking pauses at the commas allowed me to understand.

One angle to make housing affordable is to outlaw mortgage products beyond 15 years (along with ARMs), require 20% down, and eliminate the tax deduction on interest - of course you can't do this overnight.

Housing is a basic necessity and we need to get the rampant speculation and financialization out - we're all stuck in this game of musical houses waiting for the music to stop.
I think you must be taking boss to mean something differently from me.
