I'm not sure the free market has much to do with it.

For example, in a lot of areas, the issue was simply local regulations and getting approvals from the local governments. It's hard to build a large metro ring when 1 of the 5 towns you need to go through won't approve the easement expansions necessary.

Or, as another example, should you continue to plow ahead with your fiber to the curb strategy when market forecasts are showing internet connected phone usage growing by multiple thousands of percent within the next 10 years?
What is the difference between matching and just giving you more salary, which you could put into your 401k? Does it enable you to put even more into your 401k tax free?
Worse than that is the fixed promo bar at the bottom.

As with most such bars, it breaks scrolling one screen at a time using Space or Page Down. So I get to read:

"Now, I’m not saying that small typography is bad. An 18px font is perfectly legible"

[press Space]

"captions, cards and other UI elements, but there’s good reason to increase it a few more notches for body text."

Fixing this is entirely doable - nytimes.com has a fixed navbar but Space still scrolls <1 screen at a time. I would expect better from a screed like this which proclaims "Scrolling is a natural, established pattern on the web - people expect to have to scroll."
Where is Firefox on Windows Store? I don't see it.

Indeed. But dramatically less so than, say, Lyon Puerto Rico.
It seems like every protocol centralizes to be mainly hosted by corporations anyway. Bitcoin and email are examples where they are supposed to be some beautiful distributed thing but most of the servers are owned by a few corporations. Are there any products that normal users use that don't rely on a centralized provider?
That abstract looks completely consistent with the submitted title. I don't see any reason to change it.
Climate Skeptics Always Assume the Risks Are Overhyped View
There are no proper natural keys, natural keys are a bad solution to the real world problem of running and managing an application. The correct solution is to use a constraint to enforce the uniqueness of your supposedly "natural key", and use an artificial key to actually join and code against because quite frankly natural keys suck and are commonly multi-column keys that require updating and joining against all of which make them poor choices for programming against.

Surrogate keys don't break your app and code when business rules change or you finally figure out your natural key isn't so natural and has exceptions that forces you to make it not a key. If you think natural keys are a good solution, you've not lived outside of the database where real $$ is on the line.

Those who live in a SQL ivory tower where breaking changes don't matter like natural keys; those who actually write applications that use databases and have to deal with the constant churn and change of business rules know how foolish natural keys are and being pragmatic and understanding how to correctly use a pointer to avoid the need to cascade updates and make the schema immune to business rule changes have long ago chosen surrogate keys which are the vastly superior engineering solution.
Yeah, certainly removing child porn from TOR reduces the amount of background noise in traffic. But there should still be vast quantities of people using TOR for file-sharing to provide significant noise...

In the case of GNO, we're talking a "pre-order" where less than 4.2% of the product was sold, with the dev team retaining the remaining 95.8% at a current valuation of about $900M. These assets can be sold at any time at market price (bringing the price down and diluting the market, but that's a risk I'm betting most GNO holders don't see.)

And when we are talking about pre-selling functionality, we aren't talking about pre-selling a fixed amount of functionality. It's a speculative amount of functionality where you may be able to bet on a prediction market to the tune of $100, or you may be able to bet to the tune of $10,000, and you don't know until you see how successful the platform is.

Your expected return curve there is very closely related to the expected return if you held equity, except a lot worse because you don't even have a claim to any non-Gnosis products that the team builds.
For my current project I'm pulling the cross compiler from Debian and the libraries from Debian:armel. This doesn't work for every project, but it sure is easy when it does. I sure don't miss the days of building my own compiler and carefully crafting my root filesystem, but I know I can always fall back on that if I have to.
TLDR;

Chinatown sources from local small producers and are able to get big discounts. They also reduce cost by skimping on things like good furniture, printed labels, credit cards etc and keep their margins to 10-12% over wholesale.

Exactly. Low fertility rates is something that most rich countries struggle with, so to me it does seem like a good idea to invest in good childcare policies.
The problem is that you usually don't know in which direction that flexibility will be required.

I can't count the number of times I've "trivially extrapolated a bit", showed my boss or VP, and then gotten back "actually, we don't want to put any more effort into X. I appreciate how you went above-and-beyond, but priorities have changed, and it turns out we really want Y instead," followed by much handwringing when I go back to the code and find out that the flexibility and modularity that I built into the system expecting we'd do more of X next actually impedes progress in making it do Y.

Lest you think this is just bad management - I work for myself now, on a startup, and I have the same problem (or would had I not beaten this habit out of myself). Very often, I'll think "Woah, there's a much more elegant approach that will let me do Y and Z much better at relatively low engineering cost", and then I'll finish X, and put it in front of potential users, and they'll say "Actually, we don't care about Y and Z at all...why would we want them? We want to do A and B instead", where A and B take the product in a completely different direction from Y and Z.

There is a place for planning a little bit ahead, but that place is to plan to reach the next milestone as quickly as possible. You should never try to guess what the milestone beyond that is without checking in with users or management.
You are not alone!

Family leave policy isn't the only difference between the Nordic tech employment market and the US's.
That's what ought to be correct, but the recent decision against Facebook on VR cut directly against this view - as I understand it unavoidable mathematical and logical similarities were treated as if patented procedures. Similarity was the only thing considered. Which might force companies to the immense expense of "clean-rooming" almost everything they create to avoid problems. And that might not be a guarantee; patent law is very badly messed up by now, and Congress has refused to get involved in many issues, such as patent misuse (since the current confusion favors large companies/political campaign contributors who can best afford large legal teams and long trials.)
Kbutler is joking. HomeGrocer and WebVan were early companies that attempted to sell groceries on the Internet. They both collapsed in the dot-com crash.

I am not sure why they failed but more recent attempts seem to be succeeding. My two current theories are:
1. They were ahead of their time. There weren't enough people shopping on the Internet to sustain them back then.
2. They were killed by structural obstacles that may also kill the new versions.
After your AD Profile is downloaded to the laptop which can take several minutes, and often the profile will remain on the machine after you return it to the cart. Plus software/settings might vary from machine to machine even from the same laptop cart.

The thing about Chromebooks is that the state is always consistent and your settings follow you. That's much harder to attain with Windows laptops (not impossible mind you, there is software that will revert a Windows machine back to a set state, but that isn't common/standard).

O365 is a great package for organisations (e.g. Planner, Teams, OneNote Online, Lync, etc) but in that situation you're giving employees laptops to keep as their own. In schools you want the machines to be disposable, in that situation Chromebooks are special.

I agree about Jan. I do admire what he and his small team did with Whatsapp and the sheer mind boggling scale they achieved.

But this is also success bias. If he didn't succeed the same points would be used against him. Winners make their own rules and hindsight is a bad teacher.

These same points he avoided for instance partnerships and press may have worked for other successful founders.

Alloy | San Francisco, CA and Vancouver, BC | Full-time, Onsite | https://alloy.ai

Over $20 trillion worth of goods are manufactured, transported, and sold each year - the things we use, wear and eat every day. The global supply chain is one the world's largest economic engines.

The manufacturers, distributors, brands, and retailers that make up this complex network struggle to track and respond to supply and demand as their products travel from production to consumer. Those who try rely on 40-year-old data standards, lots of manual Excel work, and hordes of human middleware.

Alloy is an end-to-end supply chain visibility platform that provides the first comprehensive, low-latency view of demand and inventory across all distribution channels. Our platform connects manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and retailers, allowing businesses to track their products down to the store shelf and better respond to end-consumer demand. We tie all of this information together with smart notifications that help get products to the right place at the right time.

We are post-revenue, well funded by leading VCs, and growing rapidly, with large contracts from some of the world's most recognisable brands. Our small team has diverse backgrounds and experience in analytics, large-scale enterprise SaaS, and retail and financial technology. Culture really matters to us: we value diversity in all forms and strive to foster integrity, respect, and open communication.

We use Google Cloud Platform, Postgres, Redis, Python, modern Java, and React, all wrapped in beautiful design.

== About You ==

You thrive in a small team where you can build technology from the ground up. You love to pick up new tech, master it quickly, and do something creative with it.

You don’t shy away from even the most challenging problems and are relentless in always looking for better solutions. You are self-motivated and enjoy working with others towards a common objective. Building software is the means to an end: you want to change the way an entire industry operates.

As an engineer at Alloy, you’ll do any or all of the following:

* Model parts of the supply chain and develop features that bring them together

* Automate the collection, parsing, and storage of huge volumes of data

* Design a flexible but blazing-fast analytics framework that powers instant insights

* Build beautiful, easy-to-use applications that our customers love to use

* Dive into server provisioning, deployment, automation, and monitoring

We would love to hear from you - send me a note at evan@alloy.ai
At least when a startup fails the creditors get to auction off the Aeron chairs and Mac Book Pros.
Text size is easy enough to deal with by zooming. It's the extremely skinny fonts in light gray which is far more common and hurts to read.
These trends come and go. When they annoy me, I really am glad for "reader" views that ditch all the fancy, unreadable flourish (and social media nag-bits that just don't fucking die).

One of these days, "retro" websites might seem cool again. Just gotta wait.

This is not true for any non-trivial database. I had to learn this. Business logic still has to be understood, there is still lot's of domain knowlege how this is indented to be used and how not, and in my case there was still lot's of ambigous, poorly documented VBA-Code to be understood. I'm not aware of a database without a frontend of some kind.
Social media gives a lot of people the platform to do this and some use it quite heavily. It would be interesting to see the correlation between something like "ferocity" on Facebook and real life actions.
I believe blocking it is an option. Can't do developer mode if you're enrolled and they can force enrollment on a device so if you try to wipe it and access developer mode it refuses and forces you back to enrollment.

It's not the trailer itself that is proof of poverty. I know people who live in trailers on their own very large lots (dozens or hundreds of acres). Many of those folks are not poor, especially the ones who live within 30-45 minutes of a major metropolis.

But, the folks I'm speaking of don't own the land their house is parked on, even if they own the house itself. It's a difference of degree rather than kind, I guess, but a pretty big one nonetheless.

> but the ETH platform is a huge force multiplier in terms of decentralized scaling engineering that you don't have to do

Well, we will see about that. To date, eth has been a security nightmare, and most of the experts in the Bitcoin system do not think eth has any chance of achieving decentralized scalability.

That's all fairly tangent though. What venture capital investor would grant a $1B valuation to a company with a team of 10 with no product, with a well funded competitor that has better tech (by my appraisal) and a larger general userbase, and itself only a valuation of $140M?

Ethereum itself is only worth $8B. Seems like a stretch to me to suggest that Gnosis is worth 1/8th of that, and in fact if you assume that the average speculator is not considering dilution, you end up at a much more reasonable valuation of $50M or so.

I mostly disagree with every valuation that the market has currently ascribed to any token with massive inflation or massive dev-ownership.

People say this, and they make career decisions that box them into a certain career path, and then they assume that because that's the only career path available to them, that's the only career path. Meanwhile, other people make career decisions on the assumption that they will get to do the work they really want, and they usually have to work a lot harder to make it happen and face some nerve-wracking moments, but a good many of them actually do end up getting to do what they want.
Typically this is not true. When public companies buy their own stock, this is considered a very positive signal. Apple could do most anything they want (including buying most any company) with their cash hoard.

I will try to simplify; it doesn't make any more sense, I give up.

First argument: If your token generator or private keys are on a device connected to a network, they will eventually get compromised, given enough time and resources. The more attack vectors there are, the more likely a compromise is. Phones have more attack vectors than non-phone computers, so they are more likely to get compromised.

Second argument: Of the computing devices available today, phones tend to have at least as bad a security track record as modern non-phone computers. The average user can generally harden a non-phone computer's security* and pick more secure hardware, to improve their security position. But the user cannot generally do the same with a phone.* *

Summary:

Non-phone computers are not only more secure due to having less attack vectors, but their ability to be secured more than a phone makes them even more trustworthy. If you had to pick a place to keep keys, a non-phone device is more secure than a phone.

* by extending existing os security features or using 3rd party software

* * or at least, I'm not aware of comparable methods for phones; there may be some software hardening tools out there for phones, but the hardware is much more limited

Thanks! Very kind of you!

Well, I would like to include more, in fact I would include Ligthsail for sure if they offered a datacenter in Europe. But to start something like this you have to start small, or the costs will bury you pretty son. As a pet and personal project, the way to limit the cost was setting a clear seat of boundaries, like plans under $5 and available in Europe. And being one-man band to make this affordable in terms of time and effort I had to keep it small at the beginning. I worked on this in my spare time for more than two months. If I find a way to sustain the costs, or the providers itself offer me a way to test their machines, I have no problem to expand the comparison. But in the meantime, I share the tools because I knew from the beginning that I only have limited resources. And after all, reproducibility, independence and transparency are the keys IMHO to have a trustful comparison.
Back when I was doing a lot of brochure sites I often thought that there was a correlation between the quality of content and the amount of filler -- big text sizes, lots of graphics.

If I have a lot of meaningful content, say essays of 5,000 - 10,000 words or novella-length fiction, a 20px+ is going to make the page-length ridiculous. But sure, if you can only be bothered to churn out 100 words of copy and you want your page to not look like a content-desert then 20px+ font and giant margins are your friend.
The proprietary charger is magnetic and makes me less concerned about someone tripping over it. Plugging it in and unplugging it is also much easier imo. This is one of the few occasions where I hope they stick with their proprietary charger, similar to Apple with magsafe.
