It probably depends on how subjectively "suspicious" you seem, which is to say, how non-white you sound or look.

Is this culture of working weekends and having no vacation time really the norm though?

I mean it seems to be in Silicon Valley and where startups are concerned, sure. But the average American likely doesn't work in that sort of company, with the kinds they work at (retailers, large corporations, etc) trending more towards a normal working week with more reasonable vacation options.

The two are strongly related. Large cash transfers are an indicator of some quid pro quo in the other direction. If it's a legitimate transaction, it can be reported on. For one thing, that'll help ensure that the correct taxes get paid, whether now or in the future in an audit. Without reporting, it's deeply suspicious; the other half of the trade is probably illegitimate, or someone is evading tax, which is an attack on the state and its people.

EDIT: Not sure why this is being downvoted. Analysis of the mass market pizza industry as a race to the bottom, in terms of ingredient quality, is an old idea. Couldn't the secrecy, fake differentiation of leading megacorps, and low quality cheese be connected? Are we supposed to be impressed at this way of making money?

IMHO the activist shareholders were the key decision makers in this story. The key I believe was the following.

"The surging value of those investments [Alibaba and Yahoo Japan] — not any brilliant business moves by Ms. Mayer — is why Yahoo’s shares went up....managing those investments was a key reason that Yahoo’s board hired Ms. Mayer...Ms. Mayer delegated the Alibaba issue, hiring an experienced dealmaker, Jacqueline Reses, to be the company’s principal liaison to Alibaba and its leaders, Jack Ma and Joseph Tsai. Ms. Reses helped the Chinese company navigate its initial public offering. She also renegotiated an agreement, struck just before Ms. Mayer arrived, that would have forced Yahoo to sell an additional 122 million shares in the offering. Those extra shares are now worth $15 billion."

Those two acts---knowing how to find Reses, and knowing how to delegate to Reses---combined with finding a buyer, were what made Mayer's compensation palatable to those activist shareholders. Those shareholders considered Mayer an enablement platform like a smartphone app store, and for the value "unlocked" enabling the shareholders to cash out, they were willing to pay the enablement fee. For a fee far lower than 30% of what they unlocked, they probably considered it well worth paying.

That unlocking the value meant effectively dismantling Yahoo was incidental for the decision makers.

I think the moral of the story for me personally is if I ever find myself within a company where activist shareholders successfully get on the BOD to "increase shareholder value" in any manner that smells of selling off all or the most profitable/highly-valued parts of the company, then I will send out my resume (always maintained and updated) and update my availability status.

I'd like to hear contrary viewpoints, though.
I also think we need to be much tougher on white collar crime. There needs to be far more custodial sentences, and not merely fines. People need to go to prison. White collar crime is such a parasitic attack on the complexity of the modern economy that I think it should be dealt with more harshly than petty street crime. Sentences need to be risk adjusted take into account the low probability of getting caught, not just for the specific crime being convicted.

Here's an idea: what if we had undercover police units actively setting up shell companies to try and bribe politicians, and convict them for life if they are susceptible. It's something I wouldn't be unsupportive of, but it would be very hard to get politicians to vote for.

IAC's market cap is about $8B. Yahoo's cap is 6x that at $48B.

It's hard to imagine Yahoo just transforming itself into the same kind of company as IAC, only 6 times bigger. But it could be said that it is making that kind of transformation, only more suited to its circumstances, by selling off its consumer brands to Verizon and retaining just the more valuable Asian investments in its current entity.

The whole problem for Mayer was that its key products had started losing relevance long before she joined, and its brand/reputation was already a joke among the types of people it needed to appeal to - i.e. early adopter consumers and top engineering/design talent - if it was going to make a turnaround.

Unlike Apple in 1996, it didn't still have loyal, true-believer devotees ready to enthusiastically embrace it once it started producing good products again. The people still using Yahoo products have mostly been people too indifferent about tech to switch their email platform or their browser's default page - i.e., people at the opposite end of the spectrum to Apple's true believers.

So all she could do was carve up the assets and distribute them in a way that is most lucrative, which is precisely what she's done.

The same question exists for Uber/Lyft drivers. I talk to them nearly every time I ride and for the most part, the drivers understand their costs in a rough sense. (I don't buy the "people are blind idiots" narrative that suggests that a commercial entity has all the power and we must protect people from corporations at every turn.) Only one driver (out of 40+ such conversations) struck me as the type who believed that his Uber earnings were straight profit into his pocket.

"Hey, there's $10 in it for you if you drop off a package on your way home." Let the employee decide if it's worth it or not.

It already has in NYC. Look up hotel room rates tonight for Manhattan, they're in the $150s even for full service hotels. In my experience, for a sunny summer Saturday night in Manhattan, a lot of hotels used to have minimum 2 night stay restrictions, and only Sat nights would be $300+ per night. There were tons of more rooms built, but still, demand was not expected to drop this quickly this much.

>The new questions are reportedly voluntary, but the form says that failure to provide the information may delay or prevent the processing of an individual visa application.

What I suspect will happen is that if you are European with typical European name, probably no delay if you don't report. If you are from a Muslim country, visa is denied.

This kind of thing is typical for autocratic governments. You make lots of rules and regulations that are typically not enforced. Their sole purpose is to cause difficulties for people rulers don't like. "We just follow the regulations."

I think you would need to start taxing equity grants for that to have the effect you want. Otherwise, executives just won't sell more equity than $3m a year. And when they found new companies and non-profits, they'll just grant the equity directly and never have paid any personal taxes on it.

For me, money is just the lubricant which then allows re-investment to make the product, processes better and hire better people to them improve on those further and become the market leader.

My motivation was that I was extremely dissatisfied with the status quo of my respective industry. I knew full well that to achieve my own vision so to speak, would be really complex, time consuming and hard to pull off. When I realised this, the challenge was graciously accepted.

I could so easily start a venture to become an also-ran in a crowded market. There are many competitors of differing niches in my industry that I could immediately jump into. Do know, it's perfectly fine for someone to start a company based on a niche and then try to be the best. I'm not knocking sentiment. But for me that's not sexy, not what keeps me up at night. I want to be a monopoly, one that changes how people perceive things and what they do.

But ultimately, what I crave is the satisfaction that I started something, which blew up massively and then really affected peoples lives.

N3 in a nutshell is:

-----------------------------------

1) an object has an id and some types. Both are prepended with a ':'

+

an object definition ends with a '.'

For example:

:teacher1 a :Teacher.

2) an object has property values. Each property name is prepended with a ':'. A property value of type string is surrounded with '"""'. A property value of type integer is as-is. Several values for the same property are separated by ','. Properties are separated by ";"

For example:

:teacher1 :firstNames """John""","""Michael""";

:lastName """Doe""".

3) Objects properties are properties whose value is another object. Such an object property value is simply the id of the referenced object.

For example:

:teacher1 :studiedAt :Yale, :Stanford, :Miskatonic.

4) Your object definitions may be split into multiple parts.

For example:

:teacher1 a :Teacher.

:teacher1 :firstNames """John""","""Michael""";

:lastName """Doe""".

:teacher1 :studiedAt :Yale, :Stanford, :Miskatonic.

:Miskatonic a :University.

:Miskatonic :locatedIn :Arkham;

:name """Miskatonic University""".

:Arkham a :City.

:Arkham :famousTeacher :teacher1.

-----------------------------------

Nothing especially difficult, in my humble opinion.

The great benefit of N3 (and the Semantic Web in general) is that the object definitions can come from separate datasets and be merged into a single graph, because all UUIDs are aligned in the Semantic Web.

What makes you think most people wouldn't voluntarily give over the social media accounts? It's really only people on HN that cares about that kind of privacy.

If anything, you'll get stuck with the annoying people who are proud of their social media accounts.
If the 250 million stat looks impressive, it's not. There is no malware named Fireball, so don't go checking for IOCs and reports. This is just the name Check Point has taken upon itself to giving to a collective of adware families created by the Chinese company named in the report.

You'll find that Fireball consists of adware variants like Youdoo, Trotux, Startpageing123, Luckysearch123, Hohosearch, Yessearches, and others.
Ask HN: “Employees are actually adult-kids”
An industry employer self published a book on leadership, success, and profitability. In the preface of his book, there is this quote, "employees are actually adult-kids," and I wanted to hear HN's take on this.
I'm pretty sure they don't want you to lie. Arresting you and deporting you would be expensive and doesn't seem like much of a gain over just rejecting you at the border.
That wasn't my point - my point was that the policing issue (cash seizures with incentives because it goes to department revenue, and costly recovery measures for citizens) are a very different problem to the question of whether or not we should have the reporting standards we do - which we absolutely should, for the reasons you note.

Yes. It's part of ESTA. I did not fill my social media accounts in - because I don't have any - when made an application, and to my surprise it was approved. Still a question of whether I get to enter the US next week, though.
> we need bitcoin is to circumvent these unjust and immoral laws

What about fighting tax evasion is unjust or immoral?
This was already "optional" information requested in the ESTA application since at least last year, so what's changed since? That it states more explicit that a failure to enter the information could prevent you from getting approved?
"Consular officials can now request all prior passport numbers, five years of social media handles, email addresses and phone numbers from applicants, as well as addresses, employment and travel history stretching back 15 years"

Heck, I don't even keep records of my old passport numbers and much less travel history stretching back 15 years. As I travel weekly or bi-weekly, the list is not easily remembered or reconstructed. Does travel include ferry, boat, car or bike rides or is it just air travel?
This is an excellent programming book, even if you don't intend to make games. Highly recommend

Would love to know where the heck you pulled the quoted "enable" from, because it certainly wasn't from my post.

> Sometimes I wonder why this is not said directly, probably because Semantic Web and RDF are passe now.

It seems to me that on one hand JSON-LD wanted to bootstrap the network effects by bringing along people who were doing RDF both technically (the JSON-LD spec says "JSON-LD is a concrete RDF syntax as described in [RDF11-CONCEPTS].") and socially (published by the RDF WG), but on the other hand the negative brand equity of RDF is recognized as an obstacle for bringing along even more people, hence the OP professing "Hate the Semantic Web" and "Kick RDF in the Nuts".

It's kinda weird how mentioning the RDF connection of JSON-LD in the sense of past experiences with RDF having any bearing on JSON-LD is treated as a social no-no. Despite the above-quoted bit from the spec saying "JSON-LD is a concrete RDF syntax as described in [RDF11-CONCEPTS].", we are supposed to play along with JSON-LD totally having nothing to do with RDF.
Is it just me or does the headline fail to parse? "requires applicants for..."???
Initially, the strict limits it placed on its own software and third-party apps. The first iPhone had pretty meagre hardware but still managed smooth 60fps scrolling, one-to-one interaction with your touches, and hitting the home button immediately stopped whatever you were doing and took you home.

Those things didn't come around by accident. It's because the OS was ruthless in cutting off applications from hardware resources, because its compositor was designed for basically moving a textured quad around the screen with very little latency on a mobile GPU, and because its main animation system ran in a high priority thread way above your applications.

All these little things are what made it feel "magical" to use the first iPhone, to have your finger perfectly tracked when pinching and panning on a mobile computer in the palm of your hand. It can't be overstated how important it is for a human to get an instant visual response to their touch, and how highly iOS prioritised this exact thing.

Cash comes with costs too, often paid to middlemen. Large businesses need vaults, secured trucks, extra time wasted counting and verifying it, etc. Even small business will often need extra insurance, plus the risk of getting their employees harmed on the way to the bank.

From the intro:
"Prototyping — slapping together code that’s just barely functional enough to answer a design question — is a perfectly legitimate programming practice. There is a very large caveat, though. If you write throwaway code, you must ensure you’re able to throw it away."

Prototyping — coding without architecture in mind? I dont find it relevant to his book.
I work in the space, and while I can't conclusively state that it isn't, industry reports indicated a downturn in demand or increase in supply mostly towards the end of last year (via reduced occupancy percentages and average daily rate). Airbnb has been around for a while in NYC, and if anything, per news reports, I would expect their listings to actually be fewer or holding steady based on the local governments restrictions. Even if it was increased supply, there seems to be a more sudden drop in average daily rate in the past 6 to 9 months than before.
If you are European you're probably part of the visa waiver program anyway.

Hey, here is my idea for you to consider: stock trading, for me it is the ultimate lifestyle business with no customers, no employees and no investors...

You only need some python (and pandas) knowledge, a Linux server and some historical stock market data - please check my older posts for a source (I would love to post the source here, but there is a forum bully stalking all my posts – a failed day trader who will crap all over your post).

The barrier for entry is very low, you can program your trading strategies in your spare time and run the tests while sleeping without loosing a single cent and once you find what works for you can automate it and it’ll run on autopilot...

Just my 2 cents, hope whatever you do works for you in the end, I was in a situation like yours and this is what is working for me...
I think it is a confluence of factors, and the continued strength of the USD compared to other currencies could certainly be playing a role in it, however, it's also true that the current federal government does not portray an inviting image to foreigners, especially of a certain demographic.
