Which shareholders exactly, though? Asset managers like vanguard, blackrock and others control a large block of shares in many large companies, and don't really have skin in the game in the same way small investors do.

Blackrock in particular have changed their tune recently, but in 2016 they voted in favour of 99% of all executive pay packages:

I read it and still have no clue what is it about, what"ICO" stands for. Never explained
cool but that design... fire the torpedoes!

edit: also that approach is faster than overlaying something on top of camera playback right? I mean obviously
> and leads to languages that cease to value other things like simplicity

Simplicity is subjective. Some people think that TypeScript is overly complex compared to simply using JavaScript. Other people feel like Scala's type system doesn't go far enough.

I'd say that in a type system, what is "simple" is what you're used to and understand, and what's "complicated" is what you don't.

Now, friction is another story, and some type systems are very friction heavy (Hello Java!), while some very sound type systems are not (Elm). While Flow has issues/bugs and an extreme lack of proper tooling, the type system itself arguably has less friction than TS. If the implementation was on par (that is, you changed nothing to the type system at all, but just improved documentation, tooling and stability), I'd be able to get my programs in a better state faster, with less typing and catching more bugs.

Unfortunately that isn't the case, and in the last couple of releases, TypeScript at least got decent enough to use.
>The investors who bought your token, like public market investors, may be gone tomorrow, next month, or next year, having moved on to the next big thing, leaving you with little to show for it other than the money you raised.

Oh boy...

>VCs, at leas the best ones, are there for your company in good times and bad. There is a difference, trust me.

This part made me laugh so bad, my entire body hurts. Now, I know pretty well who he is, thus why he may not realize how much bad VCs hurt the industry, especially when a vast number does exactly what he said: leaving as soon as there are any signs of trouble. And I know that from experience.

Now, do I always agree with ICOs? Not really, selling promises that particular way is bound to lead up to some disappointment from one side or the other. But they are perfectly valid to fund yourself if your service, your core business model can be compartmentalized that way. As he said: "The token that you sell in your ICO is the atomic unit of your business model."
Not sure I understand your comment.

Symbian had 60fps one-to-one correspondence with your touch on a multi-touch surface in a handheld computer? It had a high priority animation thread that continued to run even if your application crashed? I was never a Symbian developer, but I don't recall any pre-iPhone Symbian devices performing in this way.

The examples I gave were all about driving the physics-based movement of an OpenGL based UI compositor on a very rudimentary mobile GPU. It's putting your finger on the screen and getting an instant response from the underlying visuals, and having that response tracked perfectly across the surface of the screen.

The innovations in iOS (e.g., resuming an app by showing a screenshot of it's last use while it came to the foreground) were all in favour of increased perception of responsiveness and actual increased responsiveness. Not just about maintaining battery efficiency.

Hey, we could sell equity in our company for money....or we could give out gift certificates (tokens) and keep all the equity. Sure, as soon as we've got all the dummies money, the incentives will massively shift for us so that we're better off doing a new ICO than building anything, but they won't notice. Who cares if distributed systems are an overhead and not an efficiency, we can all get rich!
It's done everywhere in India. But it's far from truth that government doesn't provide waste disposal service. Nevertheless, you might not like to see huge government waste grounds.
Even if they enable it, it might be through a switch like strict nulls (which was a huge mistake to implement so late).

That's not great.

Initial Coin Offering. Like an IPO but not quite, you're not selling securities after all, and they may not pay any dividends, you're simply selling a token you can trade with others that may be exchanged for a service by the company that provided them later on. I expect them to raise a lot of uncomfortable questions in a near future.
You would just use Guile. That's the magic of the Lisp family.

Edit: downvotes are because you're sort of insulting Lisp (which is older than you and all your "best practices") with an ignorant complaint.
For me, at least, it is the extreme belief in oneself to accomplish something. Whether it becomes the next billion dollar startup is second. I am doing it because it is a challenge and not everyone can do it. Its much better than working for someone else and being assigned to do the same tasks over and over again.

The closest mentality to a founder I have seen are those of extreme sports. Especially sports that requires laborious hours and determination to get done. Like those that choose to climb Everest. Its tough and chances of injury is high. But you keep climbing because you believe you can make it to the top. You can't imagine going back down to the mundane life below.
Initial coin offering. Like IPO, minus the regulations, plus the hype.
In additional to the national income tax Japanese residents pay about 10% of income (after deductions) as local city tax. However the Furusato Nozei programme lets you redirect this money to various rural areas. The rural areas then kindly sends you a 'gift' to thank you -

sorry to say it but it sounds like you are the "other startup" with their hands on the confidential info of your competitors / the applicants. Looking to get feedback on your intended possible course to sue, under the guise of capturing mood of this or possible counters of your defendants-to-be.

My advice is: don't do it. You weren't supposed to use the information in the review process for this purpose. If it got out about this conflict of interest, it would tar both the government department responsible for the innovation grants, and your own company's reputation. You won't really win about this.

If you want to use the info, then use it, but do so through your own business and products, rather than through the courts in this case. But just by using their confidential info in this way, you open yourselves to actions by them.
yes... voluntary exploitation. the whole point of capitalism is that any transaction requires both parties to enter voluntarily.

it's not always pretty (and needs regulation to prevent monopoly formation, which the US currently lacks) but the alternative systems with involuntary transactions are demonstrably worse.

I've been doing an eval for a new environmental auditing tool at work, and I've found that most of the pre-built solutions out there (e.g. Ansible Tower, Chef Server, some tools that we have written internally) will mostly meet our needs with some coercion, but I decided we should write our own anyway because it gives us the flexibility to only use and maintain the features we're actually going to use.

It's very possible (likely, even) that the Reddit guys looked at fabric or capistrano, and decided either:

1) the tool didn't map to their model of deployments, or
2) the tool did too much and would require more maintenance than a dead-simple solution they wrote themselves.

It's all a matter of perspective.

I know model airplanes are toys but I loved designing/building/piloting them. Making videos... requires money, transportation, property, hardware... but it's great. Open field, blue sky, green grass...

That's one of those things where for me I'm not wondering what content/how to produce it. That would just flow out of passion. Before the problem was I couldn't build websites now I'm a "full stack pretender" so... I just gotta wait for my life to align... (quit being a peasant).

Also just building stuff in general, tinkering... build a vertical wind turbine with a telephone pole that would be neat like a spinning inverted helical onion profile. Don't know if it would be a good design but it would be neat.

Interesting ... I remember only trying it as a search engine alongside AltaVista and a couple others. I guess I never realized it was human-curated. I didn't (and still don't) use portal sites - I use pinboard for bookmarks and have my on-line life organized through links and tags.

(1) I'm not sure I understand point. JS has long been without alternative, that's why JS has seen such a massive uptake. Moreover all JS alternatives, from TypeScript to Scala.js to Elm to Flow are adding types.

Anyway JS's popularity is orthogonal to questions about efficient compilation. Types drastically simplify those, for you can work out at compile time how much memory needs to be allocated for each sub-expression of the program under execution. If you don't have types, you can only do that at run-time, and need extremely complicated JIT compiler technology to make this moderately performant.

(2) Sure. Still extremely helpful, all the more so, the bigger the software. If you don't have types to do this, you will have to find those bugs by testing -- much more labour intensive.

(3) Detached, maybe, but still true. To paraphrase Sutton's law: I'm detached from the toils of contemporary bread/butter programmers and look at verification because that's where the interesting open problems are.
Not every great inventor is also a great businessman.

Actually, this is rather rare.

What is going on here? She was given a salary that made her preposterously rich no matter what she does, an unlimited checkbook to buy and do whatever she feels right, control over a huge enterprise with plenty of talent and capabilities in place.. and the best of all, two magic money making boxes that take no effort whatsoever but basically guarantee there is zero short term pressure from shareholders.

And here we are joining a mad apologist chorus of "oh, but nobody could have done differently". That is crazy. If you believe that, you might as well stay in bed for the next month because apparently whatever happens has been predetermined a long long time ago.
"Q" = Quantizer, "EC" = Entropy Coding, etc. It's definitely similar if you look closer.
Sure it does: it may have been the only way to attract and retain enough top engineering and design talent to keep the consumer brands valuable enough to sell at a good price.

Xobni, in particular, would fit that justification, given how key email has been to Yahoo's user retention.

Tumblr on the other hand was more of a product/brand/audience acquisition than an acquihire, but it could well have made the suite of consumer brands more attractive to buyers.
The Permanent Ascendance of the Status Quo
The M:N problem in Go is that you cannot control which thread runs which code. So yes, you could wish the OS exposed different APIs, but presently you can manage this situation in languages that let you manage threads.
I've ran into this problem before. IMO this issue has nothing to do with go and the solution is straightforward.
Simply create a sub-process whenever entering a new namespace because the operation isn't concurrency safe within a process.

Note that you'd run into this bug within any multithreaded process, whether the code was written in go, Java, c, or whatever.

It goes earlier than that. Here's a bit from a presentation that Tony Williams (considered the "co-creator of COM") gave once about the Registry: http://i.imgur.com/52YiK2Y.gifv

Essentially, the Registry was a stop-gap to store configuration information about COM in Windows 3.1 until Cairo came along (which never did). Then the Windows 95 guys came around and decided to use it as the replacement for .ini files. And the rest is history.
N95 was the first mobile with an hardware GPU, until then OpenGL ES was software emulated.

The Series 90 was the very first touch driven device with hardware GPU, one year earlier than iOS got released to the world.

It's Scheme s-expressions. Parsers for it have existed for it longer than C or Unix have existed (Scheme came out in 1970, First Edition Unix in 1971), let alone Lisp parsers which have existed for even longer.

EDIT: Complaining about downvotes and then going on a tirade about how Lisp users are cave-dwellers is not constructive. Personally I think your argument was a valid concern (and I just went to try to find a Scheme parser in Python to help you), but you're not helping your case.

Also, like it or not, but both of the most widely-used editors (emacs and vim) both have turing-complete "configuration" languages. By your statements, that would make the majority of programmers academic cave-dwellers (oh wait... :P).
That's a really neat solution, and avoids the cognitive overhead of having to remember yet another password (or the security risk of re-using passwords). I particularly like the way you tie the log-in token to a particular browser session so that it can't be hijacked!

Plus by merging all of the log-in paths (registration, 'forgot password', and normal login), you have one thing to design and secure rather than three. That seems like a huge advantage from a security perspective.

Err, voting didn't create that law. Voting simply elected the person as the Governor. If the Governor didn't already want to institute the law (regardless of campaign promises), the most voting could do is replace them with someone the voters hope will do what they want (but probably won't).

So, voting didn't enact the law, all it did was indirectly create the conditions where the law could come into being.

Rust's usage of single quotes comes from CS language theory (lifetimes are denoted using quotes) which I believe comes from the normal usage of quotes in possessive words (James', Amanda's). I don't think LISP's usage comes from the same place (it means something very different semantically).

Awesome - I actually saw this idea posed on Reddit recently:

">So there are factory methods in each cellphoe where you can get the tower ID and RSSI and other data from the tower... what is needed is an app that actively logs ALL that data with the GPS location of the phone regularly and pushes it to a DB in AWS - and you keep capturing all that data, and you compare geo-loc from al the phones and the towers they see/connect to when within that cells signal domain - the app should be able, after time, to "know" which tower it should be connected to based on GPS as it moves into and out f each cell... you get an alert if the phone connects to the non-predicted cell signature.

Simple."
And in that case, the polite response would be to explain why the pattern is used, rather than attacking the OP as being off-topic. Reading and asking questions when things are not understood, as the OP did, is how one gains understanding. Saying that someone should not even ask questions unless one has experience, as you did, is how one discourages people from learning.
I'd be interested to know how to do that. Go's Chdir() calls SYS_CHDIR on Darwin, and Posix requires that chdir affects the whole process.

In Linux you can unset CLONE_FS when creating a thread, but the Go runtime does not do this.

I note the Windows docs[1] say "Multithreaded applications and shared library code should not use the SetCurrentDirectory function" (which Go's Chdir() calls)

It's doubtful that this was never actually presented to the public - at most the public raised concerns about drug runners using their ill-gotten gains too freely, so the elected (and appointed) officials decided to implement a solution this way. It's also equally possible that the public had no input whatsoever in the process.
