That's not correct. The founders already have stock before any round. They typically don't get any of the ESOP. In early rounds the ESOP is essentially carved out of the founders stock, it doesn't make sense to give some of it to them (just negotiate a smaller ESOP). Also, founders are not considered investors in the sense you mention (different stock classes).

Secondly "by the time you exit" isn't relevant. Your stock is setup by when you join. If you join a company with 100 people, sure you get less. But 0.01% for Seed/A isn't even close. If that's what you get offered, don't take it.
It should say This is also why address reuse in Bitcoin is "discouraged" as to sign a transaction you need to reveal your public key. If you don't reuse an address after sending a transaction from the address, you don't need worry about the "public key" of that address being exposed

The reason being without revealing public key, with only the bitcoin address the attacker first need to guess the public key from the address, then guess the private key from there. So just breaking one of the hash algorithm or ecdsa algorithm is not enough to steal funds. at least that's in theory, in reality if either algorithm is broken we have a much bigger problem.
Apple updates entire MacBook line with new Intel processors – The Verge
An update operation is one part of a solution. Are passwords versioned? You will eventually get into a state on some client where you have changed the pwd N times since last talking to a particular server. Does that client have to keep around N passwords to be able to update it? That defeats the purpose of rotation, which is to fully retire an old key.

As for your example, you can do exactly the same thing with OAuth client assertions: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7521

OAuth implementations being buggy is a valid point, but why wouldn't the same apply to SL or any authz protocol?
Apple Introduces ‘Metal for VR’ in MacOS High Sierra

Well then don't iterate quickly. Ideally they would introduce some automation that removes human error.

I see what you're saying, but couldn't these same regulations be applied to private industry?

You don't necessarily need 0 governmental oversight for it to be private.
There are many of us with bots sweeping weak keys. Some of us give the coins back to a safe address, some people just keep it. It's like finding money on the sidewalk.
I’m disappointed they chose “pretty” over a “functional” metal box like the old Mac Pros. They ran into thermal issues with the fancy design of the trash can, despite their promises of cutting edge thermal design. These iMac Pros are probably going to be soldered-CPU, soldered-RAM beasts with low repairability.

It's a bit of a small victory that they support external GPUs, but I think they are missing the boat here.
BBC Radiophonic Workshop: A Journey Through Time
I find the proposal suspect, but this seems like fear-mongering. Planes are already built and operated by private companies, yet I don't see them "iterating quickly and breaking shit". Of course the FARs have much to do with that, but it's not like they'll stop existing.
Apple is so lost. Who in the world needs that much processing power? 18 core xeon processor ? Really? 4999 for the entry level 8 core xeon processor? Apple who exactly are you targeting? You say you want users who want to do cutting edge stuff with your hardware but are they really going to shell out 5 grande for this, when a custom made pc priced at half that will do the job? Come on here.

With the economy in the tank and wages being stagnant, this is simply unacceptable.

They're really pushing this Disney partnership in our faces here... Mickey, Toy Story, and that Star Wars VR thing.

Edit: They just did a Pirates of the Caribbean demo on the iPad...
Wholeheartedly agreed. I'm in Southern California and we're just spoiled for choice here. I've personally brewed and helped friends brew. Although I vastly prefer some of our brews, the amount of time/effort required is not for me (and my smallish apartment).

Things like homemade bitters are in the more feasible range for most people.
I think there is a pretty good justification for state enforced monopolies to be treated as an arm of the state. However, cell providers certainly don't qualify. They aren't a monopoly--there are at least four of them--and they aren't really government sanctioned.
Doesn't look like the MacBook Pro is at all.
Also can't remember Steve Jobs looking at the "teleprompter" that much.
The Kauffman foundation published a study about venture capital a few years ago; we read it in my Tech Entrepreneurship class. They reached similar conclusions:

http://www.kauffman.org/-/media/kauffman_org/research-report...

> Venture capital (VC) has delivered poor returns for more than a decade. VC returns haven’t significantly outperformed the public market since the late 1990s, and, since 1997, less cash has been returned to investors than has been invested in VC. Speculation among industry insiders is that the VC model is broken, despite occasional
high-profile successes like Groupon, Zynga, LinkedIn, and Facebook in recent years.

EDIT: This is actually linked from the article but I thought it was worth calling out nonetheless.
I'd argue that it's closer to five steps forward than one, on a ten step scale.

CRISPR is a gigantic leap forward in simplifying and expediting gene editing across the board. It has also significantly reduced the cost. The tools, such as SHERLOCK from Broad, that are already cropping up around CRISPR are well beyond what was previously possible.

China as one example has found it so easy and inexpensive to work with, they're likely to rapidly leap ahead of the West in gene editing due to their willingness to allow for higher rates of risk. They'll have perhaps dozens of human trials under way by the end of 2017 / mid 2018. Just on the back of CRISPR they're going to go from lagging far behind in biotech, to being a global leader within two decades. Technologically they're going to skip the decades of traditional pharma / biotech build-up, as with jumping to cellphones and bypassing landlines.

Sure, but that means you are talking voluntary self insurance, not the compulsory third party liability one.

To me, European, statement "AAA claims Tesla owners should pay more" means they want to bump price of compulsory insurance for Tesla owners - insurance that covers damage done to other cars, not the expensive Teslas. No one is stopping you from charging more for voluntary coverage.
While I would have liked to find a source other than the Cato institute for it (https://www.cato.org/blog/trump-pursues-air-traffic-control-...):

The airlines are for it, the key labor union is for it, aviation experts are for it, and the second-largest nation on earth did it. Canada privatized its system in 1996, and today the nonprofit Nav Canada is on the leading edge of ATC efficiency and innovation.
I wonder how Venmo is going to react after the WWDC announcement of native iOS person-to-person payments via Apple Pay. Native functionality is tough to beat unless Venmo and other p2p payment apps have large enough networks to fight the momentum.

From what pro users wanted - this makes it worse, not better.
Yeah, everyone's making a big deal out of the name. Is "Sierra" some sort of stoner reference I don't understand, or is it really just the fact that they put the word "High" in there? Is that really how grade-school we've all gotten?

I'm watching this iMac announcement and .. hm, I still find it underwhelming. The top-spec'd iMac will be less powerful (when it comes to CPU) in Jan/2018 than my current desktop I bought in mid-2015. We'll see the actual pricing though.

I don't think that forcing high-perf components into a small desktop chassis makes a lot of sense, but it might me only me.

I just can't believe they chose the 18-core 2018 Intel vaporware chip [1] over this year's 16-core AMD Threadripper. Very strange decision on Apple's part. Not to mention they could've sold the iMac Pro for like $1,000 less.

Nice, clear statement of the fundamental theorem of VC funds: ...the only realistic way for a fund to get acceptable returns is to try to find only the companies that could be the next Ubers, Facebooks and Airbnbs. Under these rules, it doesn’t make sense for VCs to invest in anyone that can’t get to unicorn stage. There’s just no place for “average” companies...
No mention of Vulkan? Is Apple determined to avoid supporting it?
Why Perks Just Don’t Cut It Anymore in Tech
>Invest in more startups/less cash in each. The assumption today is that VCs want to own 20-25 percent equity of any startup in which they invest, assuming they have cash to follow up. The reasoning being, if there actually is a realization event (exit/IPO), they want to score big.

This isn't the reasoning behind it. The actual reasoning is more like constraints in number of worthwhile investment opportunities.

If the fund has $100M to invest and a hundred startups that meet their criteria, the fund has to average $1M per investment in order to invest all the money that they want to. If they have $200M, the average investment has to go up to $2M.

VCs are already talking to as many companies as they can. Investing in more opportunities means lowering their standards. Assuming that VCs are rational about their standards, this is a poor choice.

Agreed. Pretty is not everything. Many of us just need a practical and flexible machine to work with.
I ordered 5 bags of Joylent to test it. After three days I'm having weird "bowel movements" (weird sounds coming from my stomach) is this normal? Does it become more stable as I get accustomed to it?
> Competition only exists in Capitalism, if there's no competition, then there's little benefit to improve

That's both insane and inane. There's a simple incentive to improve aviation safety that has nothing to do with capitalist competition: people don't want to die in plane crashes. Airlines, otoh, would be happy to be able to cut corners and save billions at the slight cost of a few dozen more customer fatalities per year. Putting Airline is control of ATC by proxy will ensure the latter outcome.
On the other hand it's fairly easy to not break Python's memory model if you don't unlock the GIL :)

Edit: Ah that kind of bug can be ... tricky.
The lead-violence correlation is very, very interesting. What always makes me wonder is how much historical effect environmental factors like this must have had. Lead used to be ubiquitous, between paint, pipes, roofing, glass, solder - the Romans even cooked in lead vessels at times.

There's probably no way of ever teasing out all the different factors, but when you read accounts of what daily life was like in, say 18th century London, and a.) violence was quite common-place, and b.) virtually everyone kept themselves inebriated enough to fail a breathalyzer at all times. Probably b.) contributed a good deal to a.), but if everybody is also suffering from low-level chronic lead poisoning...

It is interesting that they have gone this direction, since Pros were clearly asking for something more akin to the cheese gater. The price for the entry-level model is also pretty bad.

It's also a shame that the Mac Mini seems to be dead (at least no updates in the keynote).

At least the MacBook and iMac line got nice bumps.
This is the stopgap. They said there'll be a real Pro in 2018.

I recommend you explain what benefit a transfer to private administration would offer, because the article doesn't actually make any statement about what would improve.

According to the article, which does not cite any study or even interview a single official or anyone from the airlines, there are two obstacles posed by the current "inefficient" system:

1) Antiquated technology, and 2) insufficient staffing levels.

To remedy these issues, we would need to look at solutions for the existing system and compare them with the new one.

I actually don't disagree that a private organization might be better; if the limits on staffing and equipment procurement are imposed by Congress, then it might be better for a private organization to simply raise rates on airlines to account for the increased costs.

This is Apple's answer to their negligence to the Pro market, and it's hugely disappointing.

The iMac was already supposed to be a Pro machine. And then they "New Coke"'d it by making it too thin and susceptible to overheating. Performance suffered and now they're compensating with this machine.

At $5000 the iMac Pro falls just short of a ~$2000 Hackintosh. It's still locked into the thin form factor that can't be upgraded and does not vent heat well enough. I'm sure this works for big companies like Disney where machines are replaced every few years. However as a developer, a Pro user, I've never felt more validated in my choice to switch away from Apple's hardware.
And most importantly, outside the Bay Area.
Nope. At least there's a $5k iMac!

IIRC this is because they need LPDDR to reduce power needs, but no one is near making LPDDR4 in sizes like that yet.

I think it's half funny because of the 'high' and half funny because it's just a really lazy naming scheme.
Simply counting that up seems a bit disingenuous... The word "gender" appears once, yes. But literally all the specific examples given are gender - adding a woman to a team of 4 versus 20, the gender imbalance of tech, not needing more "strong alpha males", and having 100% male conference lineups.

The line under discussion directly contrasts "males" with role diversity. It doesn't explicitly label the other roles as feminine, but it was certainly the impression I got when reading "not more strong alpha males but people that are good in de-escalating arguments".

None of this contradicts your understanding of what you meant with your writing, obviously. And the Unicode point is a good example of how a shortage of how other developer diversity (e.g. in languages spoken) can motivate more useful products.

But for whatever it's worth, I had to read this comment to find out that you weren't writing the entire piece with gender in mind, and writing that diversity of roles line specifically to state what women would bring to the table.

Comma Separated Vulnerabilities
Without having multiple competing private orgs, what incentive do they have to be more efficient instead of sitting on their butts as usual?

(I'm not saying that privatization alone has no potential or that it is not necessary; I merely question whether it is sufficient.)
Atleast it's a relatively powerful all apple option. Earlier we'd have to go for a hackintosh, which is a no go in many professional environments.

Still not good enough tho - it's not upgradeable.
Why do you assume that heat ventilation will be an issue with the iMac Pro?
Thunderbolt.
sad - just kaby lake but no 32GB ram options.
The article's argument is that the current U.S. ATC system is understaffed and has antiquated equipment. It doesn't actually help explain what privatization would accomplish.
Well, atleast it has a VESA mount?
I think religions can lead to self-esteem in the way you're suggesting, though they may not provide a clear path to it, since many people don't "get it" even though they practice the religion. Religions also tend to require faith in a whole lot of things, which I think gets harder to do as the number of things to believe in grows.

That's why I'm working on a sort of abstract framework of being that includes a religion with a minimal number of prescribed things to believe in with a goal of self-development. Cultivating love, humility, self-esteem, etc. are all decoupled within the framework/religion to allow people to pick & choose only the parts they need.

UK election: Why we need to change our method of voting
(vouched)

On #1, having just stumbled across a deserializer that can be commanded to allocate a 2^63 byte buffer, I agree 110%.

On #2, the problem is that the standard says things like "walking off the end of an array is undefined behavior" and "use after free is undefined behavior" yet we don't seem to have any programmers who can be trusted to reliably avoid these problems with zero runtime checking.
Even with such a low volume product like the iMac pro - they could buy out all the EPYC or Threadripper chips from AMD for the next mac. But I bet Intel is likely selling their CPUs to Apple for a loss just to maintain that relationship.
Doesn't the FCC grant them monopolistic use of certain frequency / power-level / location combinations?
I don't think so. The other way to look at this is Amazon Video is now accessible on all platforms except Chromecast/Android TV – it's not about winning so much as making sure Google loses IMO.
If it's an 8-core Xeon, it's gotta be an E5. So the CPU alone could run $2,000 (pricing for E5 2667 v4, this probably uses an equivalent Skylake Xeon which isn't out yet).
Gee, this guy is slightly over-selling:

> "It will be the space equivalent of the four-minute mile. I think we're going to redefine the possible," MoonEx co-founder and CEO Bob Richards tells Popular Mechanics. "We've seen this throughout history—everybody thinks something is impossible until they see it done."

I'm skeptical there are many people left in the space industry that think a private moon landing is impossible. It's expensive and difficult. It's also a question of time at this point; as whether it's a company like SpaceX or Blue Origin that does it, it's going to happen relatively soon.
> This is Apple's answer to their negligence to the Pro market,

Nah, this is the stopgap they talked about when they had their "Come to Jesus" meeting with bloggers.

A real big boxy Mac Pro is supposed to come after 2017. Pre-announced, which Apple never does.

Not referencing a whole field dedicated to this. Just sharing an anecdote. My father works for a government mining company. His job is that of a translator.

Thanks for the feedback!

I think most of the loading time is in the images, gifs and web fonts used (the svg a bit, but not so much). These days I don't see much of value in optimizing the slides for after-the-fact consumption (video is much better for that), and I just put them online so people that have actually seen the talk can go back to some of the code, links and references. And in this way I justify my lazyness for not optimizing the load time a little bit :)
18 core Xeon chips have been available for 3+ years. There is nothing particularly odd about Apple's choice -- AMD has not been a serious competitor in the workstation market for years, and even with their newest entrant are only nipping at the very bottom of the market.
I believe that OSX is optimized for Intel's brand of x86 - might have been too much effort to switch vendors when it comes to future kernel support.
