Apple, like Tesla, share the same valley space in Southern San Fran. Elon Musk has eluded to this as well, as a reality in the very near future. To be perfectly frank, it's a natural fit for these two to be on the same vector and with the OS developer cycles with Apple after iterations with Darwin / Unix - which oh ya BTW runs some of the NASA space junk we have floating around - is the natural fit for Tesla. Maybe .. just maybe we see the Apple OS running Tesla cars in this fashion. I mean, it's almost obvious that these two are dating. I think the rest of the world maybe ignores it, but to me .. it's damn near obvious what the collaboration is, possibly already.

So then who's responsible for making the changes at a company that result in investors paying more for a piece of the company? Investors are willing to pay more for companies with cleaner toilets?

DON'T TAKE THE DEAL. The only reason some company would want to acquire you is because it must have accretion value. Why don't you see if you can turn them into your biggest customer?? Stick with it, don't quit, you are three feet from gold.

Yep, we are using arrow functions and other ES2015+ goodies, but they don't help with event handlers. In fact, I believe class property syntax helps with that, but we only figured it out after we built these few pages and components necessary for the web app part.

Yes. I'm waiting for Apple magic track pad 2 support in Linux before I switch. It's by far the best track pad I've ever used. Unfortunately Linux track pad support is shit as you point out. I'm hopeful it won't be in a few years. And people still wonder why Linux on the desktop will never happen. This is why.

Core Yahoo was actually worth a negative amount when comparing its market cap to the market cap of the Alibaba assets.
That depends on how you calculate profit. Amazon has growing assets which is profit even if they don't pay taxes on their profit.

This is not limited to physical assets, if you do R&D and produce a valuable drug patent then you don't need to pay taxes on that value yet, but actual value was created.

Stock is at best a proxy for what you actually care about.
One note: From what I've read, using arrow functions as props in a render method of a component will create new functions each render, so you might end up with a good bit more GC than normal. There are some nice little mix-ins that will autobind to remove the need to remember to .bind everything.

I don't see how it's Uber's fault if someone finds out your password.

I think it's nice of Uber that they refunded OP's trips even though it wasn't their fault that OP's account was compromised. And it makes sense that they just suggested using a strong password. What else could they do?
maybe it's because over her watch a legendary company died? and at the same time she got paid a lot. not that it's completely her fault. i think reactions would be the same regardless of gender. if anything, people are more scared to question her for fear of being labeled sexist

I disagree, I think you are assuming far more.

My description is, from my limited understanding, just describing General Relativity, which is a totally accepted and highly verified by observation and experiment.

Where you say it is incompatible with quantization, you are assuming that gravity has any quantization to begin with, which has never been observed. You are literally 'begging the question' here, assuming that gravity quantization needs to be explained by gravitons, when neither quantization of gravity nor gravitons have ever been observed.

I have not really found a viable plain text version to Excel that normal users can use. I have done some Excel like tasks with R, Python (pandas, and various other python sci libraries) and even SQL (postgres) but it seems its either a programming language (R, python) or a data format (csv).

I have been meaning to look into what alternatives are out there.
So by your argument, we should allow private citizens to own surface-to-air missiles, artillery cannons, landmines, chemical weapons, biological weapons, and nuclear weapons, because abstinence from weapon ownership doesn't work?

Or is it more complicated than "abstinence"?

(I'd argue that it is. There is no biological drive to own a gun, just a socially constructed one. It's a different category of activity.)

> Are you insinuating that they can't do both?

Well they certainly aren't doing both at the moment. All of the Mac hardware updates have been so heavily "form over function" that they aren't very appealing to people that just need to get shit done. My 3 year old Macbook Pro is still very fast, and since I use most of the ports on a regular basis it's arguably more useful than the new Macbook Pro.
I don't know. I think for instance that Steve Jobs was really underpaid. His work (even surrounded by smart minds) and his leadership with his vision were a real launch pad for Apple. I can see a few CEOs like that who seem to be overpaid but I think are underpaid compared to their value they bring for their company.

Look at Satya Nadella. His new vision for Microsoft and all the key decisions he made are really what you see in its stocks. From +12 years of nothing to twice its valuation.
Came here to say this. The Steyr Triangle front sight/Trapezoid rear sight is a really great improvement. Actually, the weapon itself is pretty much a work of art. I've had the 9mm and the .40 S&W versions, and they are my favorite shooting pistols of all time. Very low bore axis helps with aiming and recoil. It's technically a double action firing mechanism, but the trigger is crisp with a travel almost as short as a single action. Not at all spongy like cough some other striker fired polymer handguns.un-cough

I know this discussion is really about sites, but after all the off-tpoic-ness we've had so far, I don't really feel bad derailing a little to talk about how much better this handgun is than pretty much any other. For reasons including the sights.

If you owned a share of the company, why would you sell to another investor for less than Verizon agreed to pay? Share prices rose 8.5% directly as a result of the price she negotiated with Verizon.
I would presume the tradeoff here is slower acquisition - if you're not on target, it likely requires more brainpower to _get_ on target. With goalpost sights, it's far easier to be misaligned, but you can't "lose" the target. (disclaimer - I've never used a peephole sight, so this is all speculation on my part!)
May I share a related vignette?

I have a kid in middle school, and he has a tablet. These things are often pushed as "educational". Pop quiz: you walk by, and you need to determine, within a couple of seconds, if what he's doing is actually educational. Here's what you see:

lots of graphics, whizzing around the screen

-or-

black alphanumeric characters against a white background

Now, you don't actually know, but generally speaking, the second is a better indicator than the first.

I realized this applies to my own work as well. There are parts of my job that I consider extremely useful to the world, and parts that I really gotta wonder about.

If I'm looking at green or white alphanumeric characters against a black background (easier on the eyes), I'm probably at a UNIX prompt, writing code that is doing something very analytical, or writing SQL. If I'm looking at graphics whizzing by, I'm either trying to figure out how to get a drop down to repopulate with the right thing pre-selected in the latest javascript framework, or, worse, I'm so irritated with javascript frameworks that I've decided to browse the web.

Again, it's not a guarantee, but I'm starting to consider a very general guideline: if you are looking at symbols and alphanumeric characters, the odds that you are building something of lasting value is much higher than if you are looking at things with elaborate UI elements.

It's not 100%. My kid could be watching Citizen Kane and developing an interesting critical point of view. He could be reading 101 fart jokes. It's not a perfect match. There are worthy and unworthy things on both sides.

But as a general rule, for culture and career - if you're looking at plain text, that's a good sign.
Couldn't disagree more. The macOS it its current iteration is a platform. With that platform you have a stack. Within that stack you support unward / downward functions depending on what you want. Just take a look at what Tridium does with their Niagara AX automation platform and the world of IoT and energy and you'll see what Apple most likely is iterating towards. https://www.tridium.com/en/products-services/building-automa...

I've done weeks like that myself, for a few weeks at a time. My comment was addressed at people who do 80 hours routinely. I've never met someone world class who was doing that. I have met some world class people, but they kept to a reasonable schedule.

I'm sure these 80 hour continuous productivity guru's exist. I'm just saying they are so exceedingly rare to effectively be unicorns.
For example, the first-line paragraph indent - which evolved over centuries to guide the eye, ergonomically and aesthetically - is missing from the modern Web.

> If you're not willing to go all the way restricted, as in most EU countries, I think the Swiss model is the best.

You're not from country living. That statement you made up top seems like virtue signaling to make your seem friendly to everyone.

> Certainly I think it's much more important to manage the access to ammunition. After all, a gun is only actually dangerous when it's loaded. Sure, a gun that isn't loaded can still be used to threaten people (because even then it demands attention and the utmost respect) or even pistol-whip them. But it is very unlikely to be used to kill anyone or anything.

Gun control has historically not stopped violent crime. I'll give it to you, it restricts ACCIDENTAL shootings committed by guns. But the other side of that story is that criminals still have guns, and will still kill you with them. Baby, meet bathwater.

> Personally, I think guns belong on shooting ranges, and nowhere else, unless used for a practical purpose, such as hunting.

Again you're not a country kid. I'm from the west and my CCW is one of my most important possessions and a statement that I can and will defend the lives of my family and myself.

> I live in Denmark. Firearm ownership is very restricted, you have to have a very good justification to own anything that isn't a hunting rifle

How do you defend yourself during a robbery? Home invasion? These things aren't uniquely American. Wackos are everywhere.

> Another example could be Switzerland. You can own guns and buy ammo, but there are much tighter background checks in place compared to the US.

Background checks put unnecessary strain on honest citizens. Criminals don't need background checks - why do I?

> they have a much more developed culture for gun safety and respect for firearms, so their rates of gun violence are extremely low.

They have a culture around mandatory service in the armed forces. Their people are conditioned to see guns and aren't afraid of them - similar to pre-1970 America. It used to be that "only bad guys hid their guns" and now I have to own a CCW to defend myself because snowflakes might get offended.

> as in most EU countries

Yeah and things seem to be going SO WELL over there, right?
LinkedIn is probably the most direct. I don't like stack overflow although you get contacted for available jobs, no recruiter spends more than 10secs to watch you profile and see if you remotely match the position. 8 out of 10 that contacted me were about positions that were simply bad the requirements were an total mess ( like that doesn't happen everywhere, but whatever ) and lets just don't get started on the startup culture of every company with an profile on that site.
Credit card(s) are good to have unless they give you an impulse to spend. They have many other benefits too such as [depending on the card] purchase protection, price protection, free roadside assistance, extended warranty, rental car insurance, concierge service, cash back, points, miles, etc., etc., etc.

I've personally used price protection, roadside assistance, extended warranty, and concierge service. Plus many thousands of dollars worth of cash back, points, and miles (probably close to $10,000 total).
This actually seemed way worse than the monetary details. Uber offered TFA via SMS, and then apparently failed to require it. That's really bad, and sparks concern about all of their other security practices.

Assuming this is accurate, I guess it's time to assume there's an unexplained failure in Uber's security/login rules?
> progressives rail against "abstinence only" sex ed and then turn around and promote the same thing for firearms.

Yes! This is a great point, that hadn't occurred to me before.

The current proliferation of firearms in the US makes education the responsible​ choice. If nothing else, you should know how to render a firearm safe.

Another thing I would like to bring up is the fact that in the United States the Police have no legal obligation to protect you from danger or harm[0] so the only reliable option is to defend yourself in the most efficient method available.

Bitcoin Bubble
I'd like to propose my own evidence of a bitcoin bubble: at this level of inter-day fluctuations, bitcoin is completely unusable as a currency. I've recently been wanting to use it for transactions, but I have been holding off for weeks now as the possibility of a +- 25% swing between obtaining and spending bitcoins is too real. If you want to actually USE bitcoins right now, you can't. Use being the primary/only sustainable value growth mechanism, how can this be anything other than a bubble if the segment that actually wants to use it to transact, can't.
Fun fact!

Microsoft Office has two internal math formats, one of them is Ecma Math[0], the other the other is the "Unicode Nearly Plain-Text Encoding of Mathematics"[1], it is a Unicode standard and uses only Unicode standard characters. It has the unfortunate property of being hard to type on its own (the integral character isn't on most people's keyboards), but it is pretty easy to read as just plain text. If you copy an equation out of Word you'll get something like this: ∫(x^2/2)

The wonderful thing about 10x developers is that you can keep redefining what 10x means to make your point. The 10x developer is a mythical beast that changes with every retelling. There's only one definition with any experimental weight behind it—10x the worst and 2.5x average—which isn't quite terrifying enough to keep telling stories about 'round the campfire.
> Take away Marissa Mayer from this story, and replace her with a generic CEO, and I'm not sure we'd see the same mood in either comment section.

That may be true, but it doesn't make the comments about her being overpaid any less valid; or analysis of what happened with Yahoo any less interesting.

I think the special outrage over Mayer has an element of misogyny (how can it not?), but I honestly think it's mostly fueled by the fact that most of her public decisions (ending remote work, etc.) seem like changing uniforms on the staff of the Titanic as it sinks.

When someone does a terrible job I don't think they should get paid more money than most people will ever see in their lifetime. I think a lot of people feel that way. Mayer is not unique in this, there's plenty of terrible executives who are wealthy, she was just a really visible one.
So a single sexist slur is enough to make you sick? Wow.
Congrats on taking the time and effort to build something both functional (fills a need) and can work as an example of your work (demonstration) at the same time!

As a fellow job seeker frustrated by the "Look at all these great tools for Employers to make Candidates jump through hoops" slant in SaaS, your contribution is quite welcome. I'll admit I have a Candidate Assist SaaS type program in mind as well, definitely different from yours in approach and execution, so feel very good about encouraging your success. Maybe even the scales a little!
fundamental <--- not true. It's becoming an enabler, yes. Fundamental, no. Plus AI is terribly subjective, unfortunately. It's neither thought producing or augmentative to the process - but that's my OWN 2c on it. However, it _is_ important from an enabler for technology to be more "natural" to the way we interact with our technology.

Mary Barra made $22.6 million, more than all the male auto CEOs. I haven't really ever seen much bashing of her personally.

Elizabeth Holmes was a media love story until it all came crashing down, although she was a founder/CEO.

Agree about the cesspools though.

Without meaning to be glib, this is exactly the reason I would not recommend a machete to my grandmother for personal defense, but I would recommend her a Ruger LCR, or a Smith & Wesson M&P.

The fact that she is physically disadvantaged against almost anyone would do her harm is a use case that the firearm solves quite nicely.

Because when she was brought in to lead Yahoo, it gave a huge hope the same way people hoped when Jack came back to Twitter. But there's also a conspiracy theory I like that she was primarily brought in to be made the scapegoat and being criticised while Jack still being admired as a visionary (While I'd argue DC is a better one to do lead Twitter, but he faced the same fate as MM)

In the article, it looks like the code via SMS was never required. Uber sent it out, then allowed a login without it. I've seen something like this before, where companies over two factor auth via SMS, but also allow SMS as a password reset channel - which means it's not two factor anymore.'

But in general, you're right. The problem with SMS as a second factor isn't that it's not two-factor, it's the ease of compromising both factors at once. Hijacking phone numbers is disturbingly easy, and smartphones mean that you can steal one physical token and get both email access (for password reset) and SMS access (for the code).
Maybe because HN readers are slightly more tuned to the relationship between numbers (in terms of magnitude)? In other words they feel instinctively her pay is a numerical irrelevance given the context?
