There are two stages to most American IPOs: registration and the initial public offering. Registration means your shares can be sold without relying on a Securities Act exemption [1], e.g. the rule which lets one sell private shares to accredited investors [2].

When you register, you have to start disclosing certain information, e.g. your financials, to the public. This is a hassle and expense most companies delay for as long as possible. Companies must register before an IPO; this is why registration and public offering are commonly conflated.

"IPO" specifically refers to the process by which an underwriting bank buys shares from the company (including, potentially, current investors) at a certain price and then sells those shares to the public at a different--hopefully higher--price [3]. Some companies cut out the underwriters by directly offering their shares to the public [4]; this is less common.

Spotify appears to be contemplating registering its shares but not issuing any new ones to the public. I presume this is to stop the bleeding from their TPG notes, which penalize them for not going public [5]. This would let existing investors more easily sell their shares. It would not raise new money for Spotify. Depending on the jurisdiction it chooses, reporting requirements may be lighter than the United States'.

> Nope, most people are "social justice warriors" because they actually care about other people. We're not all secretly harboring boiling resentment on the basis of race / creed / gender / etc. that we're suppressing for pragmatic reasons.

No. Most people are apathetic and/or do not want to get involved in others issues. I've seen it, but you need not trust what I say. Go look up bystander effect.

Some people, especially on the extreme left, have developed this victim attitude where everything affronts them, no matter what. It's something I've coined, but it reminds me of the "Victim of the Week", similar to how some tv shows have "monster of the week". Certain causes are 'cooler' than others. And the worst part is if you don't keep up with what you should be affronted to, then the rest of the group will disavow and oust you as "racist, homophobic, sexist, ...."

The extreme right did learn one thing: no matter how different many are (blue dog all the way to tea partier), they don't oust you for having different beliefs within their continuum.

ObOnTopic: Well, they did indeed give a reason. "Asian". Yeah, it's pretty damn offensive. I certainly wouldn't do that. But I'm sitting between "Well, racism sucks. Fuck em", and "It's their right as householder to decide who comes in and who doesn't, regardless the reason."

And sometimes, it's nicer to know if they are a racist. Perhaps AirBNB should put that field in there, and allow people to show their true colors. A bit of sunshine usually helps disinfect problems like that.
Does that really have an e-ink display? Their specs page says "sunlight-visible, transflective memory-in-pixel (MIP)" which seems to be a type of LCD that has characteristics like e-ink.

This reminds me of the story of dying wish of the billionaire(?) Edward Reichmann:

He died in Jerusalem after a long illness at the age of 80 years old. He was a real estate tycoon who had become a billionaire. When he passed away, he left a vast fortune worth billions of dollars. He left 2 wills directing that one be opened immediately and that the other one to be opened 30 days later. Among the instructions left in his first will was the request that he be buried with a certain pair of socks he owned. The Reichmann children immediately brought the socks to the (religious) burial group, requesting that their father be buried in them. Of course the group refused, reminding the family that it is against Jewish law. They pleaded explaining that their father was a very pious and learned man, and he obviously had a very good reason to make this request, but the group remained firm in their refusal.

The family frantically summoned the burial group to the religious courts where the great Rabbi explained to them "Although your father left that request when he was in this world, now that he is in the world of truth, he surely understands that it is in his best interests to be buried without the socks."

Mr. Reichmann was buried without his socks.

30 days later, the second will was opened and it read something like this: "My dear children, by now you must have buried me without my socks. I wanted you to truly understand that a man can have a billion dollars, but in the end, he can't even take along one pair of socks!"

I don't endorse racism by any means, but there's an overarching concept that a persons home is their castle, and you have broad discretion to control who and what goes on in your home. In most jurisdictions, you have a broad legal right as a person renting out your downstairs or a room to turn down tenants for any reason.

Airbnb wants to have it both ways. They demonstrate their contempt for the law by pushing accountability for illegal renting to their "hosts", but where they have a messy situation where there is bad PR for them, all of the sudden they care about how "hosts" follow rules about discrimination that may or may not even apply to them.

This is yet another example of why AirBnb is a ridiculous business that shouldn't operate as it does. Dealing with the issue in a way that would be compliant with the law would require that they acknowledge that many "hosts" are really running as hoc hotels, so they roll over the individual homeowners or tenants subletting their homes.

No. You choose to use Windows. You choose to use shitty hardware that doesn't work with free software. You choose to use Visual Studio (protip: dev on Linux is better than on Windows even without VS). You choose, and you have chosen wrong.
Fully agreed.

Two huge bottlenecks for PEVA (personal electric VTOL aircraft) remain, in my view:

* specific energy of the battery. I hope progress is being made there.

* regulation, as you allude to. A VTOL aircraft in VFR with fairly short total flight time could probably reasonably be allowed to fly with lower reserves. Airmen licensing is another huge area - it would be absurd to require a helicopter CPL or even ATPL for shuttling a pax around in this.

As I have said before - the second there is even a rumor that Adobe would allow (license wise) for their products to run outside Win/Mac, the correct business decision for apple would be to buy Adobe and ensure that hole is closed very quickly.

I just did a fresh install of the latest stable version (1703, no insider build). Full is the default.

Although the change from previous versions is that you get the "Full-Basic" switch on the initial setup screen.

Good. They have been so out of touch with what their users want, it's time they wake up.

Examples:

- Redesigning the client multiple times

- moving from native clients to essentially a bundled browser

- removal of lyrics feature

- can only store 3333 songs offline on a device
- 10000 songs is the limit for the library

- Still no Hi-Fi option

- Can't add third party songs to the cloud library

And the competition is definitly rising: For example, Apple Music offers lyrics, a song limit of 100000, can store all of those songs offline, play back on 10 different devices at the same time and store all those songs offline. Also, you can drag and drop the songs that are unavailable into your library, which makes them available on all of your devices.

Once Apple Music releases a web player (or a client for Linux), I'm done with Spotify. For the moment, I need it for my desktop, which runs Linux.

> The best thing that Canonical can do, and indeed what we are doing now, is to provide stable platform for Adobe to target and the tools to make it as easy as possible for them to do that.

There's one more thing which you guys can perhaps do that the rest of us cannot:

Canonical is well-enough known that you may be able to get a meeting with someone at Adobe, to find out what they think would convince them to pilot a Ubuntu-compatible release of CS (or at least Photoshop and Lightroom).

I assume that it's some combination of projected sales revenue, and ease porting / maintenance / support.

If someone (perhaps Canonical) can get Adobe to throw out a number regarding how much sales revenue they'd need for a port, we could use something like Kickstarter to line up the first round of purchasers as well as demonstrate the amount of (pent up) demand.
Terminology question: wouldn't arbitrage imply absence of risk?

you can watermark the images to help with that. And you can use professional beta testers to limit the worry during that stage. Over and above that I would probably ask an intellectual property attorney about what other protections are available because without protection you may have no basis for a suit.
Clearly they are using advanced financial and political engineering. I'd bet that the tax burden is very low too.
I would, if I had made such claim. I already explained there is no strict 'can't do that' because given enough time there's always a way.
Notable programmers in the history of software
Learn about yourself - what motivates you, what are your limits etc. This way you'll know if some goals are realistic or just pipe dreams.

To expand on that, let's say that you want to become an uber-programmer, like John Carmack. In his own words (paraphrasing), "everyone can do it, all resources are available online, you just need sit and do it". While this is technically true, the reality is that he seems to be extremely gifted when it comes to sustaining focus when working on abstract/technical tasks (while your average developer starts checking out after 4-5 hours). If you're like that and read about people like him, the conclusion is that you're like a short person trying to compete in NBA - technically feasible, but the odds are against you.

They're probably using fusion neutrons to kick off fission reactions. People have talked about this idea for years but I don't think anyone's attempted it until now.

By adding uranium you don't need to get net power from fusion alone, which is really hard.

The extremely high-energy neutrons from D-T fusion can fission U238, not just the scarce U235, which means you don't need enrichment and you get very little long-term waste.

By having the fusion reactor as a neutron source, you can use subcritical amounts of uranium, so there's no chance of a runaway reaction. If something goes wrong with the fusion reactor it just stops, and without the fusion neutrons the fission shuts down too.

Incidentally, California state law allows people to collect signatures and get their message out (as long as they don't disturb the peace) in any public place, and includes grocery stores in "public place."

I remember seeing people collecting signatures at the mall when I was a teenager. The mall always posted a professionally printed sign saying, essentially, "these people have a right to do this, but we don't agree with them and we ask you to ignore them."
I believe you are correct as I understand it the crime is in the distribution not the possession.

Stock valuation is an incredibly bad way to measure company performance.
All good points from swtf: especially on C++ and masters level maths. I'd add Python too; hopefully you've already had some contact with that as a web dev. Back in 2007 I was building automated rates market making systems in Python. Another big factor is market timing. Businesses that earn their revenue from trading financial instruments tend to have volatile earnings. Compare the year by year earnings of the investment bank at JP Morgan Chase vs the retail bank, credit card biz etc. So trading businesses have volatile earnings, but they also have high costs, and the main cost component is staff compensation. Which accounts for the hire and fire nature of the business. Times are tough currently, with HFT firms consolidating in the face of falling returns, and many large banks struggling too in the face of low interest rates and returns. There's a reason so much cash has crowded into VC; because there are few returns elsewhere. The last real hiring upswing was 2010, when the QE cash hit. In the big banks regulation and compliance are the only growth areas. Very boring work! So I suggest building your C++, Python, maths skillsbase, and waiting for the next hiring upswing. Trump & Brexit are bringing market volatility back, interest rates look likely to go up, maybe that will help trading businesses and we'll get a new growth cycle in financial markets.

I'm surprisingly okay with this. We all know the IoT hype has given rise to many, many incredibly insecure, often non-GPL compliant slapped together Linux SoC's hooked up to whatever IO a regular appliance could have.
The manufacturers and developers have not given any consideration for real security because they haven't had a reason to yet. Sure, every other week a security researcher pwns another device and leaves a random manufacturer I've never heard of with egg on its face but unfortunately that doesn't seem to stop the global trend. This might.

Bringing Xamarin into the Enduro Scene
On the contrary, I believe the out-of-the-box experience is where SBT shines. Even for a relatively simple project with a few sub-modules, the amount of boilerplate is simply insane with Maven.
I am using riot.js too and am pretty happy so far. Actually, I never tried react, but as riot is smaller, I like the tag syntax much better and I do not feel like I miss anything, I do not know why I should try it (anybody here prefers react over riot? why?).

Before riot, I tried Backbone, Ember and Angular. While Backbone did a fine job it didn't help to structure the app and everything had to be done manually.

Ember was too opinionated for me. Yes, they have some nice concepts and bring a lot of functionality right out of the box, but when you still have problems doing basic stuff after the third project, you know it's time to move on. The only thing I sometimes miss is ember-data.

Angular looked better to me, but they lost me with the Angular2 migration. I hate it when libs break backward-compatibility and in my eyes, there were enough good alternatives so that I did not have to risk facing the same story again with some future angular version.

The beauty in riot.js is that you can easily build small html components and stack them together afterward and reuse them later. It really feels like a lib which you can plug into something else. So I am able to develop an app using riot.js with framework7 and formatjs at the moment.
