Which other coins? Coinbase doesn't support many types of coins (only BTC, ETH, LTC), so I'm not surprised they are ignoring smaller coins. I just assumed they were not worth the hassle?

Ironically, Coinbase holding onto the Bitcoin Cash (by not supporting it, and hence not letting their users sell it) is probably helping it, since Coinbase users cannot dump their BCC for a quick buck. As you say, it's kind of a giveaway..

Yes. You get free segwit bitcoins. The bitcoin cash resembles the original bitcoin as described in whitepaper the most.

If you sell your bitcoin segwit today for bitcoin cash at an exchange, the rates are around 0.08-0.12, it is like inflation.
What I Hear When You Tell Me Your Company Doesn’t Do Meetings
Nope.. thats bullshit. If a company dissolves, creditors are first in line and stockholders are last in line. The nuts and bolts or even cash holdings, are often not even factored into stock price. If you did that with apple, its value should be much, much higher. What you buy, when you buy a stock, is earnings (sometimes paid out in dividends) and voting rights.
Good rulemaking, but any thought as to why it isn't retroactive?
They already do. You just need high enough volume.
Firefox is as fast and lighter, and has been for a while (the exception being Googles own webapps that are heavily Chrome optimized). This is stuff they are testing out in TestPilot, so it's for people who want to go add the TestPilot add on and then selectively enable these features.

So your complaint really makes zero sense.
Unless they have a rule like: Each commit must reduce the number of lines/size of code or at least keep it exactly the same. What is going to prevent this from becoming the next bootstrap if the project becomes successful?

I"m an early career Electrical Engineer with a variety of experience, from digital hardware design to firmware, electronics design, and a little in power converters (< 5kW). Most recently I've been working on battery monitoring/management/charging, doing prototype work and embedded electronics bringup. I'm interested in developing new skills in any of a variety of areas, such as pcb design (have done schematics, currently working on layout), RF, motor control and robotics, high-speed digital, DSP, sensor systems, and more.
Ask HN: How does the “ten years a junior” find better work?
Breaking out of the loop of the inability to improve is difficult in certain jobs.

This is a serious problem with some employees, in particular in the software development world where on-boarding and mentoring is more of a crapshoot or even non-existent.

I think the following major factors put people in this situation:

- "greedy" path of needing to take the first job offered (because beggars can't be choosers)

- Poor opportunities to follow relevant industry trends that are greater in demand

- The stigma that a weak career implies weak competency

These people get little sympathy in the job market. With sufficient bad luck, they're often ineligible for jobs at their expected level of competency, and have to apply for jobs below that. But no one wants to hire them as "overqualified".

These things don't happen on a dime. It happens slowly over the course of years. With the inability to get more appropriate job opportunities, they have to usually pick the first (and therefore only) offer that comes along. Provided that you are aware of the situation and have an interest in getting out, what do you do?
G Suite is the new name for Google Apps. I believe the person they are referring to is storing everything in Google Drive.
The Python devs I worked with always envied me for npm. I asked them if they don't have something similar with pip, but seems like npm is a whole different level.

Cargo should even be better than npm.

On the other hand I always asked myself if they couldn't simply use Nix?

That's hardly specific.

There's a reason I specifically excluded loose analogies.

> the rules are very clear about who is entitled to the proceeds.

And the specific rules that specifically apply to a fork of a cryptocurrnecy and a firm providing wallet services like Coinbase are...what, precisely?

Perhaps general securities laws are written in a way which encompasses this scenario, but I'm asking about the specific applicable laws that cover the situation at hand.
> terrorists do harm because they are harmed. Stop harming them and they will leave you alone.

That is a huge oversimplification.

Terrorists do harm because they see a political value in harming others. For proof, look no further than the domestic terrorists who have bombed abortion clinics and shot doctors who worked there, or who have threatened to do same. All while being backed by religious organizations, who are just as culpable for the results.

Sure, these people might not be called terrorists, because the FBI has to abide by laws of free speech, etc., but they are just as much a terrorist as any person looking to wage jihad.

I do not think you worked in Enterprise. Getting new tech approved is difficult, provisioning a VM takes weeks. Most enterprise lag at least 2 years behind everyone else.

Enterprise apps are slow because developers lack shiny new tech. You are forced to build yet another Spring App that takes minutes to start and gigabytes of memory. You also need to use MQ to interface with other systems and log/audit almost everything.

To your edit:

I'm not sure how Package Control handles removals of packages but if they are left installed in sublime then this was probably the best move.

If the package was left "orphaned" in the editor the telemetry would remain but I'm pretty sure PC updates packeges automatically by default so pushing an update without it makes sure the code is removed for most users.
That's what's Bandcamp did. And they're profitable.
Why don't you just buy SNAP directly? S&P 500 is just an index, like a phonebook. They can list or not list whatever they want, and ETF's can follow or not follow those indexes.
It genuinely feels like the automakers are within a few years of their innovator's dilemma moment, and I'm curious how each will react. Even with self-driving cars, it's likely that the volume of new car sales falls as utilization improves.

I reckon they could branch out to other areas where they can take advantage of their self-driving car experience and manufacturing and supply chain logistics. I reckon now is the time to pour R&D into modular chassis, different form factors (like 1 and 2 person pods) and possibly even acquiring earth moving equipment and farm robotics innovators. There's tons of opportunity in the space for autonomous wheeled vehicles besides passengers, and I'm curious if the automakers will capitalize on that opportunity.
So there's going to be a time where Snap gets snatched up for real - I don't care about the current promises from the founders, reality has a way of making itself happen.

The real problem is to get in a bit before the snatch up because there's usually a stock boost then. It'd be a quick, low-yield safe return.

The risk there is sometimes the captains do go down with the ship and you're going to just have to write things off when things get bought for peanuts (aka my SUN holdings) so I don't know if it's a farm-betting strategy.

And finally, this strategy has some weird consequences, like when I bought Apple stock in the late 90s after Jobs publicly said they had a couple month runway. I thought Compaq or Gateway would come by and get them (and no, I sold it off at a reasonable double digit percentage profit and am damn happy about not being greedy). Crystal balls are very cloudy.

This is not financial advice.

Even the README you linked to (probably not seen by many users) seems intentionally misleading, as it is careful not to state to whom the metrics are sent, leaving the reader with the impression that they are being sent to the project maintainer and not to Kite, Inc.

This is an important point, and it's one I overlooked. I've never used SideBarEnhancement. I assumed users knew it was related to Kite. If `urlopen('http://52.52.168.91/status', json_body)` is the only indication where the data is sent, then that's unacceptably vague.

I suppose it's best for Sublime to force plugins to be opt-in for data collection, but as someone who wishes devtools were better, it's unfortunate a few groups with terrible PR skills are ruining it for everyone. It didn't need to turn out this way. They just needed to be open about what they were doing. They weren't even collecting anything to warrant being sneaky.

> Meat's probably never going away

This is actually something I've been willing to bet on with the right odds (although it's not really practical). I think that there's a good chance that all fast-food chains will be meatless within my lifetime.

It would take one really serious mad-cow-ish health scare across a few major national chains to really reduce people's faith in fast food meat. It's unlikely, but not THAT unlikely, in my opinion.
I disagree with that article almost wholly.

> The truth is the Model 3 costs $40,000 if you want a standard version with autopilot

You don't need autopilot

> If you want a different color, add $1,000.

Yeah possibly, I can see this as something a lot of people would want

> And if you want a longer range ($9,000) to get over 300 miles per charge instead of 220

This is possibly worth the money, but 220 miles is still a damn excellent range. If you're prepared to accept the range limitation with buying a car 220 instead of 310 miles is fine for everything except long trips.

So it's not $50,000 it at most is $36,000 for a damn excellent car. I'll take it in Black, pretend I'm Michael Knight and blow the $1,000 on a leather jacket.

That's not before you get the incentives. In California that can take you down to $26,000 and in Belgium where I am, they still ridiculously allow all company cars to have 50% tax rebates, for electric cars its a 120% rebate. The UK has similar incentives (100% first year deduction and £4.5k grant [0])

Then you have to take into account the running costs of electric with something like 2-3 times the 'electric' miles per gallon vs a BMW 3-series and the cheaper prices of electricity.

Edit: Quote from MSDN over running costs:

> Tesla hasn’t yet released a cost calculator for the Model 3, but keeping Tesla’s current cheapest car, the Model S, juiced up costs approximately $601.50 a year in home energy costs if you drive 15,000 miles, according to Tesla’s own calculator. Fueling a gas-powered car that gets 30 miles to the gallon will cost you almost twice as much money — $1,105 — even at the current 12-year low of $2.21 per gallon. [1]

In Europe petrol prices are at least double that. So you're saving ~$1,600 per year in the UK on fuel costs.

So you're really not comparing it to even a BMW 3 series.

Ok, then the rest of that article:

> If you purchase a standard Tesla Model 3, the seats must be manually adjusted, as will the steering column. The side mirrors aren’t powered or heated, and there’s no auto dimming.

I've never understood the love for electric seat adjustment. The back I almost never adjust and moving the seat back or forwards is done much faster manually.

> There are no LED fog lamps

FOG lamps. That's FOG lamps it's whining about.

> If you’re looking for what you’ve seen in the Model S — a premium interior, autopilot, and around 300 miles of range in a color of your choosing — in a smaller form factor, well you’re not getting out without paying at least $55,000.

No that's not what I'm looking for, because then I'd buy a Model S. But saying that, for $35,000 you get almost all the cool factor of having a Model S. It still looks beautiful unlike say the BMW i8 vs the i3.

> The Tesla Model 3 isn’t a luxury car, it’s a midsized car masquerading as one.

No it's not, it's a midsized car masquerading as a midsized car. It just happens to look nicer, go faster, run cheaper and pollute less than all the midsized cars out there.

Similar but not the same. You are obligated by law to accept US dollar bills (any denomination) for the satisfaction of debt. Whereas you're not obligated to do so in the case of these non-voting shares. In a certain sense, by buying these shares, you are assuming there will exist other people who want them too (a market) whereas US securities guarantee a market (300 mil + US citizens).
ESXi is most definitely free if you can live without the enterprise features.

For example, in many setups a max of 8 cores per VM is sufficient, and IIRC there are no longer memory or storage limits for the free tier.

The web admin (which replaces phased out vCenter admin interface) is pretty decent. Between that and the cli you're sorted for most non-enterprise use cases.

But yeah, if you need vMotion and all the other orchestration features, the licensing is...far from free.
> Nope.. thats bullshit.

No, it's the fundamental meaning of stock.

> If a company dissolves, creditors are first in line and stockholders are last in line.

Yes, that priority is accurate, and part of what sets (and limits) the value of stock, as is the priority between different classes of stock, where they exist.

> What you buy, when you buy a stock, is earnings (sometimes paid out in dividends) and voting rights.

Earnings are just increase in dissolution value, and dividends are just a partial dissolution.
But they ALSO replaced the Air 2 with a really nice device at $330 instead of $500. I'd expect that's far more responsible for the increase than the 10.5" and should continue for a while at least.

Edit: according to MacStories iPad revenue is only up 2%. That would fit with a lower profit device being a big part of sales.
People have a right to voice their opinion, even if they are wrong. This is draconian and goes against principles of free speech. You have the right to say something you think, even if it turns out later that you were mistaken. These people just wanted their photos, and this lady wouldn't give them up without an extra $125 payment. Sure maybe she wrote it in the contract, but that doesn't mean they can't say they didn't realize what was in the contract and that the lady didn't tell them about this before.

I think people just felt sorry for the photographer so they violated the first amendment. Very sad

Ask HN: Handling an internship where you didn't really learn anything?
I took an SWE internship with a company that seemed to be a good culture fit and seemed to have a lot of interesting things going on for its interns.

Unfortunately, neither of those things turned out to be true, and the work was mostly dev-ops tasks that didn't require writing any code (mostly config management). I'm concerned about what will happen if I put this on my resume.

Is it better to leave these sorts of internships off of your resume so that future employers don't get the wrong idea about what you're capable of, or is there a good reason to put them on there?
You have any numbers to support that profitability claim? YouTube wasn't profitable when Google acquired them, and it wouldn't surprise me if they still were not profitable now. I'm sure they make substantial ad revenue, and it's entirely possible they are profitable. But running servers and content creators getting paid are not proof of that - Google has more than enough money to subsidize the endeavor.

That is really a trollish comparison. The US military is under the under the control of a democratically elected government. Even considering that there have been abuses, There is a categorical ethical difference.

The ISIS videos are often calls to violence, showing beheadings and encouraging beheadings. Consider which group intentionally targets civilians, which groups condone vs punish rape, which groups answers to people vs outdated books.

Either way its not my choice, its Google's choice. Oh and the law has some say, calls incite to violence are not protected under even the first amendment. Google has to remove at least some of these because they are illegally asking for violence and people. This law has just been selectively enforced because that is how strong the First Amendment is. It is so strong it protects even more speech in more places than was intended.
I have a probably naive question. I just learned about the concept of non-voting stock today. Is there typically some contractual obligation for companies that, if they do a stock buyback, some fraction of the shares bought must be non-voting shares?

If not, what is the value of a non-voting share? Particularly for a company that doesn't pay dividends and doesn't have substantial material assets to sell in the event of liquidation (my impression is that this describes many or even most modern publicly traded companies)?

Thanks for your reply.

To be clear, to have a talk that makes an impact there should be general lessons that can be extracted from the specific experiences you went through. The title of your talk should address the general lessons rather than the specifics.

Based on what you've shared so far it sounds like a potential title for your talk is 'Coordinating Modular Development'. Is that the general idea behind the talk you had in mind?
