There's a big list of proofs on MathOverflow [1]. Not a lot of pictures in it but there are many to be drawn.

My favorite is probably top answer: a polynomial f(z) gives you a map from the Riemann sphere ℙ^1 to itself. Topology tells you it's closed and analysis tells you it's open because locally a holomorphic map always looks like z^n. It follows that the map is surjective.

Thanks for making good points. The VCs are pretty solid, they are some of the most respected VCs in Sand Hill Rd. Do you think they would push for an exit (IPO/Sale) and that would make it worth staying?

The revenue is 60M with cash flow positive (6M) this year, so I think all other expenses were less than 54M (including marketing).

Can you elaborate a bit about "healthy customer-focused anxiety"? I think a lot of customers go into our service thinking it might prove useful without seeing any value first. We have a good marketing and sales team, but I think (and it's my thought) that now they are finding that they are not getting that much value from this service.

Now, I believe the management is solid and they are working to really re-focus on creating more customer value which really makes me happy. Yet, I still think there are several small sized competitors that could provide what we do at a lesser price.

I am hoping that this year's quarterly results will help me calm down. Because, I think if the company is not increasing it's return or on it's path to a successful IPO, then it's better I seek a higher paying job.

> The beauty of a union is there doesn't have to be an objective definition. A union gives you a democratic voice to advocate for what you think is fair. Without organized labor power, your voice is completely ignorable.

This is silly; non-union employees have a democratic voice and the ability to advocate for "what they think is fair", and their voices aren't completely ignorable or else everyone would make minimum wage.

Perhaps there is some gross advantage to collective bargaining, but unions (in the U.S. at least) seem to discourage productivity, competition, and common sense while fostering corruption. These costs drive employers toward automation or outsourcing, thereby eliminating the very jobs they purport to protect. In my view, the cost of unionizing is too high for all but the most extreme circumstances.

> This is a completely naive understanding of what finding a job is like. Leaving a job can be a strike against a person in the hiring process, not to mention it consumes a lot of time, leaves someone uncompensated and without benefits during the process, etc. This also assumes engineer competency is something we can effectively gauge in the hiring process or otherwise (just search "hiring" on hacker news to get the general sentiment among engineers about how good we are at this).

You're conflating efficiency with fairness. Also, there's no need for an employee to quit before beginning to look for another job.

> Imagine if this was the suggestion given to factory workers and coal miners and the early 20th century (not that I think the worker conditions are comparable, but its illustrative of how naive it is to believe that market forces are sufficient for providing fair compensation). This is a marginalist's definition of "fair" that doesn't jive with any real human person's.

See my previous statement about exceptional circumstances, and take care not to confuse a depressed economy with unfair allocation of resources (although both a shrunken economy and anti-competitive practices contributed to poor conditions during the Great Depression). Maybe market forces alone aren't enough to guarantee fair distribution, but your analogy doesn't demonstrate as much.

> The real question is why you are so fervantly against having a democratic voice in the workplace.

This isn't my position, so I'm not sure how to answer your question... It sounds like you're conflating unionization with "having a democratic voice in the workplace"?
> Like we ALL don't know what working at Uber is like.

That's circular reasoning. The reason that working at Uber is bad is because we all know that working at Uber is bad.

That's the sort of logic that starts witch trials and Communist hunting. "Well, she's a witch because we all know she's a witch."

How about "Well, she's a slut because we all know she's a slut?" That's about the same level of logic as your statement.
In order to confirm the plugin is in control of your computer, enough to prevent you from copying the precious bits, how sandboxed do you really think the DRM is? It has to have its claws like a rootkit into your machine in order to be "secure". How sandboxed can it be then?
What're your thoughts on this idea: internet access is a right and should be treated like a utility. Operators like you and others create supply and then are guaranteed a price or rate as (probably) negotiated by the consortium of suppliers like yourself and others and the local government. And then in return businesses and consumers can rely on (fiber based) internet for a reasonable cost. I personally don't care for this because given a guaranteed stream of income I think incubanants would have little incentive to innovate. I'd rather there be an open and fair market for people like you to come into an underserved market and turn things on its head and lead to innovations like wireless gigabit and other tech. Curious on your thoughts though.

Edible Soft Robotics
Confessions of an Ex-Prosecutor (2016)
Well, Chalmers is a philosopher, and what philosophy does is it clarifies problems (which often creates more problems to clarify) rather than solves them... Whatever the exact definition, consciousness is a function of a living brain, a function required for the survival of an individual as a part of a group, and since the environment in which an individual operates is characterized by the high degree of uncerainty as to both its present state and especially its future, making decisions must involve probabilistic methods, and so must learning (because we all learn from our mistakes). The process of learning has a physical manifestation due to changes in the brain, which could be "measured," and if we assume the primacy of matter over function, we have to expect that the material substrate also must behave probabilistically. Which probability model is the best one in describing that behavior, remains an open question.

One of the KUM sharpeners from here. Using 2 stage blades helps:

Ah, no no. The expectations are not low.

People are paying for a service, and they expect it to work.

I once (another country, another ISP) dealt with a query/complaint of "it doesn't work!" which turned out to be due to a snowstorm taking out _the entire area_. Which people knew about! And still complained!

The expectation for the service is really much of the same.

Almost ironically, the first marker that people phone about is "my email doesn't work!"

Love this mouse. Exactly the right weight and size, and well thought out moulding.
For the "fasters" above who feel like sharing info, a couple of questions:
1. When you fast what food (if any) and drinks do you consume? Coffee, tea? etc
2. How long can you go on the above while fasting?
3. How old are you?
4. Do you exercise? If so what's the frequency and intensity?
5. What's your BMI, if you don't know, would you classify yourself as lean, normal or overweight?
5. Why do you do it? To lose weight? To "cleanse"? To feel better physically and/or mentally?

I'm asking all the above to figure out whether my profile (33yrs old, running every second day with ~30km weekly + basic work out of pushups, pullups, situps, etc, BMI 24) is anything like the profiles of "fasters". A year ago I've noticed I started putting up on weight and decided to switch to a low-carb diet, cut down on beer/wine and exercise regularly. I lost about 6kg of excess fat within 2 months (down to 12% overall fat). Now I have largely reverted back to my standard diet though I avoid sweets/candy, white bread/pasta/rice/potatoes in larger quantities and "processed" food in general. I seem be able to maintain my fat and muscle levels and sustain high energy levels through out the day.

I tried to work while fasting, but while I feel good and am perfectly able to have conversations, my brain doesn't work nearly as well when I try to think focused or solve hard problems.

So I stopped doing that.
Only in the court of public opinion does "Cmon man--you know it's true" hold any value. On the whole it's not looking very good for Uber, but it's hard to say with any certainty until facts materialize.

The bumpy to polished surface is more of an aesthetic and ergonomic thing than a stick thing.

That is the bumpiness of a lodge eventually goes away and the initial bumps really have little correlation on the stickiness.

Think of it this way... Sticky tires for race cars are actually extremely smooth.

What people don't like is the sound a spatula makes on the new lodge pan compared to polish pans but in my experience the lodge pans are in most ways less prone to stick than older pans because the heat is more even (this is perhaps because they are heavier).

In some ways the bumpiness might actually improve slip because it creates pockets of fat but again the bumpiness goes away pretty quick regardless. Some even say the additional bumpiness also aids in adding additional seasoning.

You absolutely have to cook with fat on cast iron pan (either the food has the fat or you add it). Cast iron pans are not even remotely comparable to teflon nonstick when it comes to sticking (and by the way most teflon pans are bumpy as well so.. again bumpiness has little correlation to stick).

There is an incredibly amount of bullshit and false information about cast iron pans on the internet (like comparing it to teflon and how older pans distribute heat better) with very little actual experiments done.

If people really want smooth milled surfaces than a carbon steel pan is far superior as well as distributes heat more evenly (albeit I prefer cast iron for baking).
As a mini-followup: due to this kind of scenario, we ended up having to replace UPS battery packs in about 8 months (1/3 of their minimum intended lifecycle) due to how heavily they got load-rushed over the months.

Thanks, that is a really good point.
No, this isn't. If that was your worry you especially wouldn't use proprietary software where the issue is much more prevalent. As others point out, you could pay FOSS maintainers if you wanted to.

Instead, people who don't use X make up excuses as to why not, rather than simply saying they like Y. If you like AutoCAD, use it.

In taking customer feedback it's important to only ask potential customers, not people who'd never use your product anyways. Even if their feedback is honest it won't help with what you're doing.
Seconded. I spent a lot of time in my teenage years just reading plaintext HOWTOs and RFCs (metered dialup sucks).
I think that's a fair interpretation but that we can make others. It was just the nicest looking of the graphs I found on google images for 'cancer mortality over time' or some query like that.

The central point I'm trying to make, which was a surprise to me as much as others, is that there hasn't been some dramatic decline in cancer like I expected. If you look at graphs for other things we see amazing gains in prevention and treatment that don't particularly occur in cancer. To pick one at random, the pancreatic cancer line on the graph above is basically flat.

And so, if it isn't changing a whole lot, why is that? The standard theory is that cancer is really complicated and it's DNA. The alternative theory is that it's the mitochondria(l DNA).

I'm not in some crusade against medicine, it just seems to make more sense to me and explains the lack of progress.

As Feynman said, the easiest person to fool is yourself, so who knows, maybe I'm wrong. But then I also worry about the story of the doctor who invented washing hands between procedures, and the story of the doctor who discovered the cause of stomach ulcers.

> money is literally leaving their pocket and going into those of part-time drivers who ferry my and others' butt around

I think its really just your pocket - the passenger. I think Uber has "democratized" the process of becoming a taxi driver. But I doubt it's made things better for taxi drivers. Maybe one could have argued that it had in the early years of Uber - 2 or 3 years ago. But I think the driver's are feeling the pinch now. There's an oversupply in busy areas. Uber also gets new drivers "hooked" by sending them a lot of fares early on after they signup.

It is indeed hard to maintain Twitter accounts via Tor. Establishing accounts via Tor, using burner phones for verification, isn't hard. And there's no problem reading feeds via Tor. But tweeting via Tor, in my experience, is indeed a crap shoot. So is tweeting via commercial VPN services.

What seems to work is tweeting via private VPNs, running on anonymously-leased VPS. To route that VPN through Tor, you just run the VPN server (in TCP mode) on the VPS as an onion service.

But there's still the risk of cellphone re-verification. So for long-term accounts, you need a persistent number. One solution is to have trusted friends in other jurisdictions, who can activate the number for you when needed.

If you were asked to solve the 'fake news' problem, how would you solve it?
I am working on a new idea Shrimp ( domain shri.mp), and our mission is to fix the fake news problem.

We have nailed down the user experience in three directions. I would love your thoughts on these three ideas -
1)Build a secure browser so that it can work across the web and mobile devices which will automatically sync up with an online database of all the fake news articles, so whenever someone clicks on a link, he will be alerted. We initially built a Chrome extension and decided to scale it up using Firefox source code.

2)Develop a software like an antivirus which scans every link that you receive through social media especially via messengers such as WhatsApp and Fb where they spread the fake news. There is also a synergy that I see using existing networks such as Reddit or Jelly user's to vote down the new articles which are fake and not just sending out patches or updates.

3)Build a rating system for journalists where we can rate the authenticity of articles based on that like NY times will embed our code just like how they do for like button - it will act like a trust score.

Do let me know your thoughts :)

The fundamental principle of the American justice system is that we should be skeptical of all claims of wrong-doing. The appropriate response to these claims is to ask for evidence and in its absence potentially educate the claimant on how to properly collect evidence. I'm sure there's a lot of legitimate claims out there, and most of them will not result in justice. However, rampant speculation based on Twitter anecdotes is never going to be helpful.
