It'd be awesome if someone manufactured DIY friendly, through-hole memristors. All these big companies are focused on making memristors for integrated circuits, but it really makes sense to have some human-friendly memristors available for makers and tinkerers.

I imagine that this could be a viable business for some smart, creative folks who understood the potential for simple, useful applications of these things.

No. XT and Classic were code forks, not blockchain forks. If certain runtime conditions had been met, they would have become blockchain forks, but those conditions were never met.
I don't think that this line of reasoning is very solid, because (a) men running companies definitely have some variation among them and (b) sports teams are small groups and not really representative of the problems facing larger organizations. One difference is that lots of people really want to play sports -- there will always be a huge surplus of eager applicants. In a situation like that, you can be discriminatory and still manage to get together a team, and even a moderately good one (but not the best).

Large companies, on the other hand, have to hire thousands of people a year; and for jobs that are not much fun and which often require considerable training. The effect often has been to reduce discrimination. To take examples from an earlier era -- many immigrant populations in the US found their way into one or another industry this way.

Notably they did not find their way into every industry equally; and some minorities have benefitted less from this effect; but it did happen. The comparable effect would be that we should see some industries adapting to the lower cost of women's labor in something -- though probably not the most elite (posh and desirable) industries.
Prison population per 100k isn't the same as criminal record per 100k. It could be that other countries enforce laws differently. Eg if the US has longer sentences on average and let's fewer people out on parole or out early then their prison population will be much higher even if the crime rates are identical.
I think that's a great analogy for each of us thinking about our own ethical intuition. But if you're literally asking what would actually happen, I'm guessing the answer is...there would probably be a lawsuit and the courts would figure it out. Which is probably exactly what will happen here, if Coinbase continues to not support the Bitcoin fork and its value holds long enough.
No, in a deposition you are open to having to answer questions about pretty much anything. Your attorney can't do much to object or stop a line of questioning without a court order limiting scope.

Some attorney's will ask about totally irrelevant things just to annoy you or hoping to catch you off guard when they come back to the topic later. Or in some cases, they simply want to get you frustrated so that they get under your skin when they are asking their important questions. Depositions are just another part of discovery.

All the attorney has to do is catch you in one lie or to get you to make a misstatement that conflicts with some document they know they have and they will pound it into the ground in court. This is where the ammunition for the "were you lying then or are you lying now?" crap comes from.

You wrote: "They offer pass-through taxation, which may be more tax efficient in some circumstances". Can you give an example of when it is more tax efficient to be an LLC?

Why not start as LLC (for tax benefits), and change to C-Corp when we raise $100,000 from investors?
Are you serious..? That's pretty bad.
But the "ridiculous fees, excessive bureaucratic friction, and many mandatory middlemen" are what buy you the protection. The fees from necessary middleman seem ridiculous when nothing goes wrong, but that is how Visa pays for a chargebacks or fraud protection. The governments bureaucratic friction might seem excessive, but that is how they ensure people are paying their taxes which goes to fund the court systems that help mediate disputed contracts.

Canada has an independent organization draw its districts, which means there is effectively no gerrymandering. Under that system, a hypothetical US Parliament would be majority Democrat, and Clinton's popularity among elected officials in her party would have made her a shoo-in in the hypothetical PM election.

I was always confused by this response:

> pg: "Yes, investors with preferred stock usually get their money back first. Sometimes they get a multiple, but that's considered overreaching nowadays and the more promising startups never have to agree to that. I suppose that is implicitly a target valuation in a sense. But no one views it as a target, because it only matters if things go badly." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6896833

Of course it only matters if things go badly..
> Honeybees survive in the wild in North America despite beekeeper activities, not because of them.

Do we want honeybees to survive in the wild in North America? They are, after all, an invasive species. I'm not sure if they have any particularly destructive ecological effects, but certainly the ecosystem would work just fine without honeybees as it has for millennia? I'm not sure why making it easier for feral bee colonies to form should be considered a priority.
> And the other other half are undervalued then.

You must be responding to the current HN title and not anything from the actual paper? This comment doesn't make any sense otherwise.

The paper literally has an entire section titled "All unicorns are overvalued" (section 4.2) and figure 3 shows the distribution of overvaluations given their methodology.
My guess is that if they viewed him as important they can try to establish that they should have known he was doing what he was doing, instead of going behind Google's back and doing this without their knowledge. If he was that important to the company (by virtue of his pay), then it's easier to try to establish that Google was somewhat negligently not paying attention to a "top employee"
The point is to focus on the right thing: if pay within roles is more or less equal, then focusing on negotiation tactics, salary disparity and so forth is not going to accomplish much.
Agreed. Call it "minimal threat surface," not airgapped. Air gapped means you as the user have total control over providing it data.

Cryptoble is looking for a Co-founder/CTO
Hi,

I'm a Product Owner/Co-founder at Cryptoble. Cryptoble is an early stage startup that provides a cryptocoin/token-based crowdfunding and crowdsourcing platform for startups / existing businesses that’s SEC compliant. We’re based out of NY and are looking to hire a Co-founder/CTO. Please DM me for details if you’re interested.
To get it on record who you are for evidentiary reasoned also to lull the exponent into a false sense of ease or comfort. The attorney's try to be friendly, even chatty, so you will expound on your answers, correct them if they ask something wrong, etc.

They will also ask quite frequently if you are on any medication that impairs your ability to participate in the deposition or that could affect your ability to recall events, etc. This prevents you from being able to later say, "oh well I did not say that correctly. I had taken a pain pill for my back that morning, etc. ". The point is to avoid future surprises if the case goes to court.

This was a very close call. Initial reports indicated it was like an ordinary go-around. No. "The incident pilots advanced the thrust levers when the airplane was about 85 feet above ground level. Flight data recorder data indicate the airplane was over the taxiway at this time. About 2.5 seconds after advancing the thrust levers, the minimum altitude recorded on the FDR was 59 feet above ground level."

They overflew an Airbus A340 on the taxiway, tail height 55 feet.
I agree with that too. Communities are experiencing different ripple effects as a result of Airbnb, some are good and some are definitely not.
There is nothing antiquated about PDF. It's an incredibly widely supported standardized format that can cleanly handle everything from a Word document to a scan of a prisoner's hand written pro se brief to a printed document that someone has scribbled on. It preserves formatting information, which is incredibly important because court filings are regularly printed on paper. Not because there is no electronic workflow (the entire workflow is electronic at least in federal court), but because it's a pain in the ass to read and annotate things on a computer versus putting tabs in a binder.

As to the line/page format, it's used because sentences or even words within depositions are quoted in briefs with citations to exactly where they appear. And frankly, if your software can't even grok a simple 2D format it's probably not intelligent enough to do any useful processing of the document.

I'm always on the lookout for good legal technology. But legal technology purveyors are like those people who think programming IDEs should all be visual environments where you program by dragging and dropping connectors between blocks. It's like, no.

The difference is at that point Mark had something worth that much money and had already spent several years building it. If he decided in 1 year he was done he could have probably found another buyer at a valuation high enough to retire unless he royally screwed up the company.

Could you be clearer which part of what I said is "absolutely not true"? It's interesting that there are isolated colonies of feral honey bees that have evolved Varroa defenses, but my point is just that Varroa mites devastated the feral honey bee population in the US.
I mean, he was a software engineer to start off.

Facetiousness aside, the deposition went on for 5 hours. It's quite a stressful endeavor that makes it more difficult to control any linguistic idiosyncrasies one might have.
That's how I feel about it as an employee. If the startup doesn't do well my equity is worthless anyway, so I don't really care if it is a clean round or lots of tricks to get the valuation/share price up like that by promising investors more preference when it doesn't do well.

I'm not opposed to proxies, I just think "anti-synthetic" is a particularly bad one. Synthetics are so frequently protective that avoiding them is more likely to do harm than good.

A better heuristic might be:

Humans worry too much.

Or:

Don't invent heuristics that scientists working in the relevant field think are unnecessary.

Toxicology is full of smart people learning things on our behalf. They have models and simulations and labs to scrutinize new chemicals for us, or even just to avoid massive class action lawsuits.

Among their findings is the fact that we can't seem to make anything nearly as toxic as nature can. Even when we try we come up short by a factor of like a freaking million:

https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/natural-vs-s...

If you want simple guidelines to save time with groceries: avoid lunchmeats to reduce your risk of (natural) listeria, cook your chicken to avoid (natural) salmonella, don't can your own food to avoid (natural) botulism, and call it a day.

Or maybe don't worry about toxins at all, because they kill statistically almost no one, and instead: work out, eat some leafy greens, avoid obesity, smoking, drinking, guns, and unnecessary car trips.

At that point you're so far in the lead that if you die from a random chemical, just shake your fist at the gods and die knowing you did far more than most people. If you do die from a chemical, you didn't die from not being smart, you died from not being lucky, and could have easily been crushed by a meteor.

Since there is some confusion about why investors would support the TSLA stock price, I thought I would pull a couple of sell-side analysts reports to see what industry watchers were saying. (I happen to currently have a business role running a P&L, and I have access to sell-side research as one of my resources.)

I'm not an auto guy, and while I read Elon's biography, I'm looking at this for the first time.

It seems that the simple way the sell-side analysts are looking at it is by going out a few years, let's say 2020, and then projecting the possible EPS in 2020 then assigning a multiple.

One guy said that they could get to an EPS of $6, and gave it a 30 multiple or roughly a $180 price, and said the stock is way too high.

Another guy said they could get to an EPS of $20, and gave it a 32 multiple (but then discounts the value to today in 2017) for roughly a $400 stock price.

The difficultly is predicting what the EPS is going to be in 3-4 years. The bulls are confident that Elon has a battery and innovation edge such as the auto-pilot (or Warren Buffet moat or competitive advantage). The bears say that the tech is too easy to copy.

I understand concern over "how big can they get?" However to counter this, the absolutely auto market is massive (somewhere around or over $1.5T). The problem is that the market is fractured into a lot of small guys. I suppose there is an argument that Tesla could sell tech to a vast majority of these guys, and unite them under a common battery/OS platform (think IOS or MS-Windows).

Mind you, I am not investing in Tesla at all, but there is a valid path to a high stock price. You just have to accept multiple things need to happen. Right now, I'm not investing, so this is a passing point of interest.

Time to look at this page in 2020.

Distributed trust isn't better than centralized trust. In fact, it'll fail more often. It's just that the failures have varying degrees of severity.

Same principle as saying, "I will make my website more reliable by adding more servers." In fact you make it less reliable by doing so, you just change the severity of the problems.

And we've seen economic mechanisms compromise signed star-shaped trust graphs. E.g., all these atom plugins with features/spyware circulating because a small handful of companies think it's a business model. That's literally just buying the property from folks and ruining it. That's a very powerful attack against a web of trust and often cheaper than the fake cert attack, which is actually something you can guard against if you feel inclined to do so.
>In the survey, a hive loss was attributed to colony collapse if varroa or other mites were ruled out as a cause; few dead bees were found in a hive, a sign that they fled; a queen bee and food reserves were both seemingly normal pre-collapse; and food reserves were left alone after fleeing.

It's the beginning of a kernel. It may expand in the future, but to me, calling it an OS is like building a door and calling it a house.

You could sell it to plaintiffs lawyers and the increasing universe of firms that do fixed fee or capped arrangements. Plaintiffs lawyers have huge incentives to minimize per-case investment, but they don't use much legal tech. Which is pretty great evidence of how well it works.

Also you can obviously search PDFs. People read every line of deposition transcripts because they're looking for admissions (places where the deponent slips up and reveals useful information).
-The CEO of Alphabet did not take part in approving a $120m bonus to an employee.

-He does not remember how Project Chauffeur was started.

What is he responsible for in Alphabet then?
Is there some cultural component in the (non-) reaction of the Asian Airbnb "branches" (maybe a rape=dishonor=never admit it) or is it just a plain PR-disaster avoidance scheme?
Exactly. Large cases often produce box after box of documents and frequently supply documents not related that were not requested. It is a game of burying them in paper because if there is a smoking gun (document that is critical to their side) they may not see it or when they find it, they have paid tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees for the attorneys to find it in the many boxes of documents.

Often times one litigant can starve the less funded litigant out. Successfully starving a litigant out results in favorable settlements for the offending litigant.

Communication with remote workers needs to be just as good as it is for onsite. If its lacking, there is little chance they can succeed at all. In some ways, it sometimes has to be better -- often very good written online skills are key.

Whether there is a person literally sitting in a particular chair all day for a manager to randomly come by at any time is not a determining factor. If people need to be available sort of on call for feedback or meetings during the day (which for most of these jobs is not actually necessary) they can stay logged into text/video/audio chat.

I'm confused in that, it's true, I've seen the macro system abused. But for working with things like memory mapped registers and interrupts you don't _need_ to abuse it. It actually looks really nice with with memory-mapped structures that ply on the register structure. Maybe I'm just missing something.
