It's the last quarter's numbers annualized to a year so if there's been a spike in the last quarter that isn't seen in prior financials that's a point for negotiating the price. And it's also based on discretionary income so that "profit" is not necessarily the actual profit the business took in. A lot of expenses are considered discretionary but probably have a positive ROI.

So while 3-4x is normal (really 3-5x depending on the industry) the numbers on FEI tend to be a tad high but not unreasonably so.
ITT people complaining that the underlying library is written in C.

Who cares? The author wrote the C code and Python bindings for his library so we can _all_ benefit from handling more requests per second just by writing Python code and using his framework.

"Zero owner involvement" is generally a big selling point, particularly if the prospective buyer does have the time and can presumably speed up growth. Best of luck selling!
Nice to see. Uber, Lyft, et al have always seemed like exactly the wrong solution here. The availability of the vehicle and the demand for it are inherently local phenomnena, so why should some arbitrary company who knows where be the major broker for dealing with this issue worldwide? I understand network effects, etc., but it seems that localized brokerage would serve all parties the best.
It honestly doesn't seem to me that consumption in Italy is that different from other western countries (it is lower than neighboring Austria or Switzerland, for instance)

In addition is forbidden to smoke in public enclosed spaces (which is not a given in many countries), and it is forbidden to advertise cigarettes and tobacco.

There is in general less stigma associated to smoking than in the US, for this reason people might feel more "free" to openly smoke in places where it is not forbidden.
In less terse terms, one person could be noise or they could be speaking truth. You can't know yet.

I recommend you call 30 more, because after 30 pitches you should get a sense of whether your hit rate is “low” or “about right” or “good” … also, it’s important to look at this from the long view. A business isn’t built on a single client (usually) so if you focus on your pace (how many pitches/week) and your hit rate, that can make the first few seem much less “do or die”

This is a fallacy inherent to the modern mentality of obsessing over your child's safety that is likely counterproductive on average.

Children of school age DO NOT need babysitting. When I was a kid, everyone's mom worked and we kids just stayed at home or played together and were perfectly fine. There were zero kids who had a babysitter when they were 7 years old. Zero. Never heard of it. This was the late 80s / early 90s during the breakup of socialism. There was even a war going on for a few of those years.

I can't even imagine the level of ridicule a child would have endured if their friends had found out they had a babysitter.

Children don't just randomly burst into flames if they're left alone.

And I seriously doubt 30:1 is a significant part of the problem. Look at countries with successful school systems. Ours also used to be, but slowly got worse with time as we adopted western attitudes towards children and parenting. The schools themselves didn't change significantly, yet the outcomes became worse.
Yeah, I reacted to that too, that speed is ridiculous.
The project is very interesting but the benchmark results must be completely wrong.

On my machine, using https://github.com/rakyll/hey to test:

1 concurrent request: node.js does ~8000 req/second, go does ~9000, japronto does ~10000

10 concurrent requests: node.js does ~24000 req/second, go does ~45000, japronto does ~55000

Nowhere near a million. That's without pipelining though. Can pipelining really add SO MUCH performance?

UPDATE: tried wrk with pipelining. japronto does 700000, golang 150000, node 35000. Holy shit, pipelining is epic.

But the benchmark is not fair when only one server supports pipelining.

There are some huge assumptions and obvious bias in this statement...

I agree that both sides would benefit from learning about what the other side values beyond the sound bites but part of the reason "liberals" are pushing back is because of the outrageous behavior of the Trump administration in regards to blatant lies and an apparent policy of reform through dismantlement (c.f. some of his cabinet picks and their lack of qualifications/pedigree for the position).

If conservatives want better understanding then they should act more moderately. There is a massive double standard by conservatives/Trump supporters in regards to issues like executive orders, presidential vacations, adultery by politicians, conflicts of interest, nepotism, and congressional investigations. If you want more understanding then stop pushing a divide and conquer agenda.

People giving negative votes, do you have an objective reason for that, or you just don't like someone bashing Apple for their hyperbole?
Yes, of course. But that's moving the goalposts a bit. When I originally made my point, it was to another commenter here who is presumably a self-taught software engineer without an undergraduate degree, not an "art major."

For other commenters reading this thread down the line: my point here is that yes, while it's an exception, it isn't exactly stunningly difficult to get admitted to a good CS graduate program without an undergraduate degree. You don't need to be a prodigy who is so inarguably talented that you're just skipping the bachelor's. You'd be shocked what you can bypass by convincing a real human with decision making ability that you can do the work, instead of relying on every rote admissions page.

Admissions pages for graduate degrees are like job posts - almost all say they want an undergraduate degree at minimum, but when you open the kimono many are willing to silently drop that requirement without advertising it to others.

Filesystem snapshots and rsync are between the PostgreSQL backup best practices. Not really for logs, but for stored data. (For logs you don't really need snapshots.)

The other good alternative is atomic backups (like with pg_dump), but that does put some extra load on your database that may be unacceptable.

Yes, you will want something different for your git repositories. There is no backup procedure that is best for all cases.
Ooohh something similar happened in our company some time ago:

We had a MongoDB server (with a read-replica) in our production environment (this was an ec2 instance with MongoDB).

One day, a dev accidentally deleted the main collection in the DB during a night coding session. Next morning, when we realized that, we went straight to the daily backups that we have been doing. It happened that for some reason the backup of the previous 2 or 3 days did not work.

We had to get into Mongo-OpLog (which was on only because of the read-replica) and reconstruct the missing 3 days from it.

That was fucking scary.

> > And this is why people vote Trump.
> Irrelevant and nonsensical comment is irrelevant and nonsensical.

No I find this totally on topic.

We are specifically talking about smoking practices that do not harm others being banned in Australia.

Yet people are continuously bringing up passive smoking, something that does harm so totally off topic, but this is their argument.

A classic method of the Left, diffuse and confuse.

We also know smokers cost the tax payers less. This has been shown in numerous studies, yet once again people pull out it cost tax payers money argument. Basically a lie, but they will not accept the facts. It's impossible to bring in logic.

For any non-Australians, Australian basically stopped anything related to passive smoking many years ago, legislation now is all about smoking that causes noone else harm. (The article even mentions talk of banning people born after a certain date!)

Australians care little about fundamental rights, it part of their culture of being apathetic.

But they hate to know this, hence the kick back, plus they get to bully a minority with immunity, also an Australian trait.
Not that I can see but I could be wrong. I think the Apple one is just perfectly even because it's not mechanical, which I prefer.

Why do you think that? Which land is better owned by the government and which is better owned by private citizens? The reason in this case is "it's sitting around and not being used for much except random public access once every few weeks or months, and we could make some money selling it." What benefit do you personally get from having some desert scrub available to access? Take into account there are plenty of beautiful parks out there, more than you could ever visit, while this land is simply nondescript and empty.
I'm very suspicious of their benchmarks - all of the tests they list are largely network-bound (including build, as the Dockerfile they are presumably using to do the build is mostly apt-get/wget instructions), and there's zero discussion of how they eliminated network variance. Using docker pull/wget/etc to benchmark a filesystem gives me very little faith that they really understand what they're doing.

Furthermore the install script is troubling: "sudo curl ... | bash" -- in this curl runs as root, but bash runs as the user, which is definitely not what you want to do. Either they should both run as the user, or curl should run as the user and bash as root. But not this.

The setup script also looks like it wants to nuke /var/lib/docker, which may be an unpleasant surprise to people wanting to try this.

Honestly, the more I look at this, the more I can't help but shake the feeling that this really isn't everything it claims to be.

They aren't dictating that you have to leave this piece behind.

My comment was aimed more for someone without a CS background entirely. If you have sufficient CS preparation, then of course you can be admitted to a MS program (assuming you satisfy whatever other departmental admission requirements). I'm sure there are exceptions out there/programs that accept non-traditional students. Even if you lack a CS background (assuming you already have an undergraduate degree), you can make it up in postbac programs and the like.

Sure, sure, that's the great thinking of the day: billionaires can do anything they want, enter your country, become citizens, even pay reduced taxes, while rich countries (read US and UK for the time being) are closing the borders to people in real need.

So that either those people will not get at all help, or a reduced amount of countries (and maybe even poor countries) will be forced to bear the burden of helping them.

You get richer by getting trickle down economics of wealthy individuals[1], and the rest get poorer.

[1] The more plausible outcome is that, as one sibling comment mentions, you will not get that much from those wealthy individuals. They will come with their millions, squander your resources, workforce and capital, and move to the next bidder in a couple of years.

Indeed, the article even mentions it in passing:

The same thing happens in Guadalajara, Mexico.

One interesting thing an Uber driver told me is that, depending on the area of the city, the majority of people pay with cash or with card. So when he needs cash he drives to a certain area to catch a service.
I don't quite believe I'm hearing somebody say "aside from one of the 3 Presidential candidates who were all in the news constantly, nobody said this so nobody has EVER advocated for it".

The fact that the corporatist extremists ("moderates" like Obama and Clinton) squeeze this kind of idea from the public discourse is exactly what led to declining incomes which in turn is what made people furious enough to vote for Trump.

> Same can be said for any dangerous activity. Like bicycling? As long as I pay for health care, I'm not going to allow you to do it.

Exactly like bicycling. However, bicycling has positive benefits - it gets people places (as does driving), it provides excercise etc.
So a reasonable compromise might be requiring a helmet while cycling, which lots of countries does. That reduces the costs of injuries to a point where it's likely to be outweighed by the positives.

> Only the rich can use roads, we're putting on a driving tax.

Cars do have very expensive side effects (injuries in car accidents, pollution, lack of excercise, ...). I pay a 25% VAT on a car. Then I pay a yearly car tax of $100 year and around $2/mile in fuel taxes. That still is probably not enough for cars to "pay for themselves".

Farewell, timeION. Lessons from an in-house product development fail
I've followed the reporting on both Trump's campaign and presidency, and have attempted to follow both sides of the aisle. While Trump has lied or exaggerated, the extent to which the left media has also lied and exaggerated has been astronomical. I think the most overt example I can show you, that you can't argue against whatever your political position may be, is this clip of Chris Cuomo of CNN claiming that it is illegal for viewers to read the Clinton emails themselves and that all opinions must be pre-approved by the media: https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/787749893649600512?ref_...

this is but one of many, many overt lies and untruths that the media has told over the last year to attempt to construct a narrative about who Trump is and what he stands for.

Reform through dismantlement was a key plank of Trump's campaign so I don't know why you think that him implementing sweeping changes is either a surprise or a bad thing in the eyes of his supporters. The election between Clinton and Trump in part boiled down to a choice between "business as usual, corruption and all" or "tear it down and rebuild it in the image of business". Trump's election is an intentional attack on bureaucracy, politics, and government expansionism by the working and middle classes.

For posterity's sake, do you mind telling us which university it was? Or at least what "tier" university it was?

In my experience I've found (ironically), that it's generally the more reputable universities that are actually willing to do this, because "celebrity" (and I use that word very loosely) professors can talk a promising graduate student in over admissions department's veto at those institutions.
Those situations certainly happen; whether it's contra-productive depends on the overall effects, not just whether some cases exists.

That said, some of these are just a result of incompetence by the legislators and/or courts. It's been a few years, but I've seen organizations in my country trying that "self-employed" and the Labour Court straightened them pretty quickly when they tried to fire someone. If you have a boss, fixed place of work, working hours, etc, you won't fool anyone.

The six-month probationary period is mostly fixed by not allowing it to be constantly renewed. Replacing all your workflow twice a year (even if gradually) is a heavy tax.
