I'm curious what your thoughts are on implementing this via a reverse proxy in front of your services. In terms of implementation it appears to me much simpler. But it obviously comes at the cost of maintaining the proxy if you are, say, already using ELBs.
It's tough on the negotiation because your current package is virtual no matter how good the startup is doing. They're offering you real money, big difference. All you have to do with your $300K cash is to stay their for 4 years to get the full (variable) amount guaranteed. Also, something you need to know is that these big companies (I worked there myself) will easily give you another $50-$100K each year (on another 4 year plan) after your annual review. Depends if you perform well. From your offer I'm pretty confident you'll be one of these employees who will get well rewarded every year. So 300K is just the first year. It will pile up pretty quickly my friend. Stay their for 4 years and you'll see your W2 jumping through the roof ;)

[180k + 75k + 15-20K (bonus)] x 4 = $1 million cash.

Add up your extra RSU's each year + salary raise then you could potentially reach $1.5 in 4 years. It's money pretty much guaranteed minus the global stock market.

I'm surprised they've increased their original offer by %50, which is huge. Put it this way - at a public company there's no risk at all, they've absorbed all the risks a while back when they were a small startup. This is when they were offering a big piece of the pie to their early employees. Their stocks got split multiple times so it doubled or even quadrupled while the startup was still growing. They needed more shares for upcoming employees.

You can't come at the end as a software engineer and ask for $1 million in RSU's it just doesn't make sense. You are riding the wave at your current startup, which is pretty good for you! You can't apply the same principal everywhere else. They're stock is traded publicly so they have to justify each and every penny they spend.

The google thingy is a myth. Only a handful of people make a lot of money, either from acquisitions or some sort of AI guru. Maybe you are? I don't know.
The Hero and the Crocodile: Flawed historical figures and who can claim them
> I'm not OP, but this is an interesting moment to ask: would you not consider the "I worked harder than others, therefore I'm more successful" sentiment self evident?

No - I consider the sentiment very unscientific. I suspect that a significant percentage of people who think they put in above average effort fall below the average. That's assuming we can agree on a common definition of "hard work" - is physically toiling, clocking in hours, mental anguish, perseverance or a combination of the above?
>Successful C compilation rarely means _that only_ higher-level semantics not encoded into type system is now violated.

I didn't make that claim that UB goes away with a successful compilation and therefore "only" the higher-level semantics are worth studying. Since nobody in this thread said that, I'm puzzled why you'd think I'd have such a naive position.

>these higher level things and getting them right were _the only_ problem in C development,

But I'm not arguing they are "the only" problem. Again, poster mikulas_florek suggested a code technique that claims to address a problem but does not work. That's the limited scope of my demo code.

I don't know how theoretically fixing that tiny snippet got elevated to be the "savior to all C problems". I made no such grand claim.

>, that sort of thing is rarely any sort of obstacle to real work; it's a fluff concern.

Whether it is or isn't in relation to actual millions of lines of real-world code that may or may benefit from it is not relevant. Curl is an example of real working C Language software that may have zero code requiring type-checked units-of-measure. That's still not relevant to the previous poster mikulas_florek mis-educating C programmers.

Btw, the units-of-measure is just one variation of the "type check" issue. Many times a programmer will have a function definition such as (customer_id x, action_code y). If the programmer accidentally reverses the 2 typedefs, the compiler won't catch that. Example: http://ideone.com/2dyT9n

That type of human error happens all the time and I disagree that would be a "fluff concern".

So, getting to hyper-focused on specific type failure examples such as units-of-measure instead of considering the more generalized higher-level errors not caught by C compiler is missing the point of what the thread is about.
sure, just like there is nothing "wrong" with calling it a bribe. They wanted something outside of their official process.
I would say the majority of the degree is in its signaling effect. In general I would say thats true of most degrees, its a heuristic that indicates something about a candidate.

Luckily, in terms of actual skills, some MBA programs are offering more quantitative classes in big data and product management/application development which I think is catching the degree up to modern times.
>It doesn't matter. It can all be recycled

It can be, it isn't happening currently: "As of 2017, the recycling of Li-Ion batteries generally does not extract lithium since the many different types of Li-Ion batteries require a different extraction process.[6] Another reason why it isn't being done is because the extraction of lithium from old batteries is 5x more expensive as mined lithium"

Even so when recycled it still creates toxic waste in large quantities. What shall we do with that?

If i remember correctly they ACTUALLY enacted that a long while ago. Just ... you could only access it via the mobile twitter clients. What changed today is that they updated the website itself to act like that.
Yes. It's almost like hotel regulations happened for a reason and not because "the man is out to get entrepreneurs".
Except that it does matter how you do it. There is pretty much no human alive who has the willpower to eat exactly their daily caloric requirement in chips and soda and then stop every day.
I've definitely been ignoring that point. Thanks for the reminder.

You said mid generously so I think it was fair to say lower middle.

No need to get competitive about who has the highest score - sounds like this guy dodged a bullet from having to work with you anyway. You seem like you would be a nightmare to work for.
For me, reading code, and then trying to implement my own version while resisting the urge to look at it again is the best way. I actually learn by doing, but reading other people's code, either in a blog or at work is a good place to figure out what I want to learn.

Funnily enough, 10 years ago as a required entry step before being able to do a thesis I scribbled something[0] about distributed components with probes (some automatic, some with user feedback exactly as suggested here) and knobs driven by some fuzzy logic feedback loop, to be e.g applied to codecs and buffer size in an A/V streaming scenario† (possibly bidirectional). Concluded by saying you could get better, self-improving results by using genetic algorithms and/or AI such as NN. Was basically laughed at during defense and dismissed as being way too sci-fi. Got sick of such constant condescending attitudes and dumped research, pursuing my career as a software engineer. Had I pursued I could have been the author on such a paper you're looking for! Pretty sure I could have patented the shit out of this anyway but that's not how I roll regarding software patents. Now I lost the LaTeX source and Java code as well as the resulting PDF, and can't even download the thing as a memento since it's behind some stupid paywall.

† turned out MS launched instant play adaptative 1080p streaming some years later on Xbox 360, which was exactly that.

Very few people have the stamina, energy, and brain and emotional chemistry to perform on three out of three for very long.
Okay sure, that's a fair point, but are you really not finding this story to be fairly incredible? I just find it astounding that a group of partiers could possibly even lock themselves in a home they're being kicked out of and the police wouldn't be able to dislodge them, and then on top of that none of the partiers would be charged or held responsible in any way.

I guess I'd rely on my government to protect me at this point, to some degree.

Why is synced storage such a hard thing to disrupt with an open source app? Like nextCloud?

And before you say "open source is only for geeks to install" consider this: Firefox is open source, and it was beating IE.

So my question is, what's really so hard about making an open source app that will sync to ARBITRARY servers AND encrypt everything, and those servers all run nextCloud?

180ms is what I got on WirePlay. The number is burnt into my brain. If the machine wasn't co-located, I can envisage it being a lot higher.
I see you're getting downvoted, but you're right. This whole thread is filled with utter lunacy. Just look at the top post. It's some middle-man explaining how his company is innovative because they've figured out how to take a cut of the massive economic rents, and everyone seems to just be nodding along sagely.

What really gets me is this idiot notion that the US is somehow subsidising everyone else's healthcare. In actual fact, pharmaceutical / medical device companies will simply charge whatever the market will bear, and it just so happens the US market will bear almost any price. If some market won't bear a profit making price, pharma companies simply won't sell into it.

It makes utterly no sense to sell at a loss and then cross subsidise using the massive rents extracted from US markets, yet that is exactly what most people here seem to believe is happening. Then again, maybe basic economics somehow doesn't apply to these super exceptional markets in the super exceptional USA.

Perhaps the CPU scheduler is working to your disadvantage with multiple commands running separately.

Another thought is maybe data is in a faster state of cache in the combined command, but in separate commands is getting dumped to something slower.

It is up to the person that wants to Airbnb her/his place to make sure the people who are taking residence in her/his property are decent. It is not Airbnb who attracts the jerks and freeloaders.

With that said, their handling of this scenario (assuming everything that has been said in the article linked is true) was not good.

"Many" is such a relative term in this context, your comment basically has no meaning. I doubt we'll ever be able to quantify the damage, one way or another, that this story has caused AirBnB.

Perhaps in a vain effort to get someone else to give me a sanity check, is this story not incredible for some additional reasons beyond the terrible AirBnB response? I feel like everyone's just taking for granted the things the guest did in the rental space, but how the hell does someone get away with behaving like that, ever?

Shouldn't the guest and his fellow partygoers all be in jail? They ignored/disobeyed the orders of police officers, refused to vacate a private residence after clearly breaching contract (IANAL, I don't know the precise terms here), violating what i assume to be plenty of noise statues... Shouldn't the owner of the rental space also be going after the person/people responsible for trashing his home (responsible being defined here as the literal people who did the damage)?

What this is telling me is that there's simply no way for an AirBnB host to ever come after me for doing anything in their home. That can't be true...

I've been buying albuterol inhalers from Mexico for a several years now. Most of my life these inhalers cost a few bucks, but a few years back (2010?) they started costing me $50 for just the copay.

It turns out the pharma lobby was able to get congress to ban CFCs from inhalers (even though the amount of CFCs in these is trivial). Because of that they were able to re-patent them and start charging more. Now I go to Mexico every couple years and buy a bunch of them for less than $1 each. It's the same medication I've always used, now with spanish on the package.

EDIT

Surprisingly tricky being something around two or three dozen lines of C for filling a triangle (with some constraints), after it's been transformed appropriately.

But that is not the only way. You can iterate over a plane and test whether the coordinates are within a triangle. It ends up being very similar to the code you'd have for ray tracing a triangle.
I could see that. I'm _only_ using it for personal so I haven't really run into the issues that you're talking about.

I think for Dropbox to operate in a pure filesystem-native-first experience they're probably approaching it from the 1 computer = 1 person standpoint (or one logged in user on the computer at least).

I would assume that the host/Observer only found out about the professional sound system after the party! Not exactly something a shady guest would inform the host about up front.

I am also puzzled why the guest isn't being pursued for the damages, though. Surely AirBnB can pull up the guest's reservation information and pass it to the authorities? This would seem a fair response given that the police were called so many times.
Does this mean you can now reply to an unbounded number of people? i.e. one enormous reply chain where new people hit reply on the latest reply to add their own handle to the list. Possible?

No app wil ever accomplish consistent good voice quality over the internet. Ever. For that it's too much of an unreliable network. You may try some calls over Signal, think Hey! This works well! until you hit a moment where the route between endpoints is flaky, attribute it to Signal while using another app for that same call at that particular point in time would have given the same result.

Only when QoS will be honored by all internet routers will we reach something that is consistently reliable.
The question on the survey was an either/or question. Do people pick mastery over money when faced with this question because they don't want to admit that money matters more? I picked mastery because I've already been in what I considered a high-paying dead-end job. I was miserable, but making money still matters a lot to me. I would (already have) picked a lower-paying job that was more rewarding in other ways. Never regretted it.
Your second paragraph flies directly in the face of everything that is right about capitalism. As a simple example, long distance call rates dropped by 40-50% after the breakup with no difference in quality.

But yeah, I might be missing something too, but by and large I've lived through a lot of code that depends on a specific database schema, rather than a domain model or some other abstraction. Even when database changes don't break things, there is so. much. regression. testing. before anyone is confident.
Multiple data frames are interleaved and transmitted together. Good for error tolerance, since bursty noise doesn't wipe out a complete frame, but small parts of multiple ones, which then can individually be fixed by their Reed-Solomon error correction codes. But it adds latency, since the sender has to collect data from multiple frames to combine, and the receiver has to receive the entire block before it can be decoded, instead of transmitting each frame as it arrives.
No, you really cannot build a smartphone. I'd really like to see you make an ARM CPU by hand, just using a silicon wafer. Or solder a modern BGA package reliably without a reflow oven.

That's not allowed. The requirement was for something "hand made". 3D printing is robotic, so you can't do that. You have to make the case by hand from a block of plastic with unpowered hand tools.

Except that this is an opaque issue that the general public often does not understand. Most people probably couldn't not explain what happens when you visit a webpage, let alone what data exists around that and what can be done with it. I would also assume most Democrats don't completely understand either, but they didn't vote for the majority of people who passed this measure.

>they may consider themselves to be qualitatively different from their political opponents and therefore wish for different treatment for themselves and for others.

Of course, but what they wish and what is reality is not always the same. The will not be treated differently.

Republicans tend to be opposed to government intrusion into their lives and privacy. In this case it is not the government doing the intruding directly, but it's not a far cry. Lastly, rural Republicans usually don't have much love for giant corporations weaseling their way into their lives to begin with.
I think if people were immortal this would solve the problem, because you don't have the "this only pays off after I die anyway" mentality.

>When I say success I mean having a clear goal of where you want to go and achieving it.

I strongly disagree with this. Goals - insofar as they exist at all - should always be small, fluid, and constantly shifting based on how you evolve and grow as a person. Who you are in five years should be completely different and better than the person you are today. That only happens by establishing systems of behavior that meet higher order ideals of what is good and virtuous, not embedding your entire understanding of success into a single end point. It's far more effective to measure the hours of each day by the quality of your habits than the years of your life spent fighting for some arbitrary accomplishment that may never come.
