> By the way, it is vital to remember that the money you raise IS NOT your money.

But it isn't the investors money either. It is yours to allocate as you see fit but keep in mind that you should always do it to benefit the company and the shareholders.

Beware of backseat driving shareholders or suppliers of convertible notes and other instruments of lending that then want to tell you how to spend their investment/loan (or even with whom), and never agree to spend all or part of an investment with a company allied with one of your investors. You are in charge, you decide.

And beyond that, keep a good eye on your shareholders agreement which could very well place limits on the kind of things you can do with the money you raise, many of those have clauses which can severely constrain your ability to run your business such as being forbidden to move the company (even just to larger offices), hiring of C-level execs and other bits like that. So make sure you fully realize the consequences of entering into a shareholders agreement and do not fold too easily on 'standard clauses' that you feel will cramp your ability to run the company as you see fit.
I think it's funny the author referred to Sears' "everything store" was a "genius marketing move." Back in the day, they used to call those "general stores."

Second this question. This is the only place "007" or "formidable" shows up in the article. Also, no reference to James Bond in the article. Is need this a reference to needing to add it to the article or a statement that you absolutely must have it?
So, after the Dust Bowl, there were all kinds of things promoted by the Federal Gov't like crop rotation, contour farming, and planting wind breaks to keep the soil from blowing away. When did we forget that lesson?

And I looked up what I think is an actual rule regarding Crop Rotation when it comes to the FCIC[0]:

>(B) ASSIGNED YIELD.—If the producer does not provide
satisfactory evidence of the yield of a commodity under
subparagraph (A), the producer shall be assigned—
(i) a yield that is not less than 65 percent of the
transitional yield of the producer (adjusted to reflect
actual production reflected in the records acceptable to
the Corporation for continuous years), as specified in
regulations issued by the Corporation based on production
history requirements;
(ii) a yield determined by the Corporation, in the
case of—
(I) a producer that has not had a share of the
production of the insured crop for more than two
crop years, as determined by the Secretary;
(II) a producer that produces an agricultural
commodity on land that has not been farmed by
the producer; or
(III) a producer that rotates a crop produced
on a farm to a crop that has not been produced on
the farm;

Just search the doc for "rotate". It is only mentioned once. I think the FCIC only applies to wheat and some other grains.

I'm not an expert, grain of salt, etc.

But to me, this is the responsibility of different funnels. Have your most generic marketing info- your landing page, etc- apply to just about anyone, but make your resources that reach out to the accessibility community target them exclusively. They won't be offended/disturbed when they see that you can be used more generically, and if it's truly solving a need for them they'll sign up generally based on your targeted outreach anyway.

How Not to Fail a Blockchain Startup: 4 Practical Tips
I tend to agree, but I think it's pretty deeply rooted, and it's not a new thing by any stretch. I reject the idea that this is somehow a particularly modern dysfunction.

As children and young adults people are taught to "pursue their dreams" and "find their passion" and many other aspirational platitudes.

Then, adult life comes along and most of us become decidedly average because, well, that's statistics for you.

But many are then left with this feeling that they've somehow failed. That if they'd taken that other road that diverged in that wood a ways back, maybe they'd be living that fantasy life that they were sold.

What we're not taught is how to be happy in the present. Aspiring to change is vital to improve ourselves and the world around us. But equally valuing and appreciating what we already have is every bit as important.

What a waste. Why not just have a standard latch design on your clothes and let the user connect and disconnect their devices? It would allow for upgrade without having to discard everything.

Do you really want to buy a new jacket every time you upgrade your touch gizmo or vice-versa? Do you want vendor-locked clothes? It's very user-hostile IMO.
Two points of difference.

Trump didn't do this, Kushner did. It was Hillary herself using a private email server.

Second, Hillary sent thousands of clearly official communications in a clear attempt to operate off the record. With Kushner, it appears he was using this casually and it wasnt an attempt to back channel.
Interacting with your clothing is more convenient than interacting with a smart watch in many situations. If one day it costs $0.50 to add, why not add it to every jacket that is made?
Sure I can use a tiny fish-eye lens and some algorithms to create something that looks good, but if the goal is to start with an accurate representation of reality, then the algorithm does not necessarily help.

Some of the landscape photos and portraits shown are difficult shots that professionals can achieve after understanding lighting. Using a filter to simulate this is fine. I don't judge it. I am not a professional photographer and use filters some of the time.

The issue is calling it a review of a "camera" when it is really a review of filters. Debating over which company's fake bokeh is better is like debating whose animated kitten ear filter is more lifelike.

Custom setlists were most definitely not a big part of the intended use case, as they were hacked in after release by modders.

"it seems that every journey only covers 41% of the costs involved in making it."

This statistic is dumb.

There is a distinction between marginal and average cost. Uber's marginal costs are negligible, except for the new markets and products where they pay the driver's fare rather than collect a portion. The "costs involved in making" a trip are born only by the driver. Uber's marginal costs are only the probability they have to refund the fare for whatever reason, or get sued or something.

This might seem academic, but recognizing it belies the idea Uber will one day have to raise fares by 41%. The 41% statistic is derived from Uber's total losses. But this involves the significant fixed costs of running Uber...some of which are investments in IP and infrastructure...and which scale much less-than-linearly with demand. If Uber's demand grew enough they would be profitable even with today's fares.

I do not know if Uber will one day be profitable or raise fares, but tying total losses to the price of an individual trip is sloppy.
The compiler doesn't know the pointer isn't set, only the linker may know that. So you'd have to put a whole lot more smarts into multiple tools to get that warning.

We are actually in the process of redesigning our website (currently a single page) to have a generic landing page and three silos.

The problem is _not_ collecting telemetry on users is a business disadvantage, in todays world. Whether you're a webapp or an OS.

I would be willing to send MS that information, but only as an opt-in.
The default exists because not everyone has the same reaction to the telemetry as you. For those who do, they have some means of bypassing that (for now).
From High Sierra page on apple.com:

> Automatically use Safari Reader for every web article that supports it, so you can view websites without ads, navigation, and other distractions.

This will come in handy since I hit the reader mode on articles as soon as the page loads and the reader option is enabled. On a side note, I like Firefox too because it has a reader mode built in. While Chrome has plugins to make this happen, having this feature as a first class citizen makes a difference. Of course Chrome has other strengths and I spend a lot of time in it, but I end up using Safari or Firefox for reading on the web.

I don't read it as a defense, its a necessary prerequisite question to ask to put this situation in its proper context.

Every sexual assault is horrific - but what if we look closer and discover that the rate of sexual assaults per ride from Uber is less than that from established cab services?

That completely inverts the situation and we would need to ask "What is Uber doing right, and how can the other services emulate their success?"

What if we discover they are about the same? Well, then Uber isn't anything exceptional and we have an industry-wide problem that needs addressing at all levels.

Either way, we don't even know where the real problem is if we don't start with those kinds of questions.
The colonies that fell apart we're ones where there wasn't much organization and what organization existed was for resource extraction.

The Dominions were built for settlement, so they were sustainable states. India and other Asian colonies already had their own very established cultures and civilizations, and hence fared much better.

Pretty remarkable India hasn't exploded into separatism due to resource pressure, but I don't know how sustainable that is given that the population is still increasing
A lot of their "cybersecurity" revenue does indeed stem from advisory and risk assessment oriented work. They still have technical teams of varying quality that perform "penetration testing", though. Often the follow up and methodology for any risk assessment is to leave an executive with strategic recommendations. Many of these recommendations are the actual technical work. No way a Big 4 sends technical, even heavily technical, work to some other firm. They just say, "yes, we do that".

It is the same with any assessment or consulting. We always try to leave recommendations, strategic and tactical, which advise them on next steps. Often, those next steps involve us helping them with more assessment work, directed at the most security sensitive areas to maximize usage of often limited security budgets. What will get them hacked next, basically.

Smaller firms with more technical staff definitely shy away from risk assessment and compliance work because it is, honestly, repetitive and boring. But, it also drives a tremendous amount of hard technical work into any firm because if you can't sell someone a pen test or technical assessment after doing advisory work you aren't very good at things.

Sorry if that sounds cynical or like "everyone needs more of our services and pen testing", but that is the model. It is also why boutiques exist. We don't just give brain dead "yep, you need pentesting, and it is going to be expensive" recommendations. We tailor it and focus on what the customer actually wants/needs. Whereas, a big4 tends to rotate consultants and lose knowledge unless it is staff aug. The relationship and understanding engineer teams really matters when you want to do the most interesting assessment work AND provide value to the customer and not just "sell them pen tests" :)
I found the documentation link on VanillaJS on the bottom of the page. It seems VanillaJS is a project of Mozilla, or adopted by them. Very nice for a browser maker to spend time documenting a library so thoroughly. I would say the docs are almost better than jQuery's docs.

On the other hand, I like jQuery more for the support community :)
1. The definitions are the boundary -- these are what are used to make the interior. The analogy is to definitions (used to be called axioms) in math. Simple for math (because it is only about itself). Difficult for science because we can't just make up the definitions, we have to try to find ones that have some mappings to "out there".

A boundary for chemistry is the physics standard model. Within physics the model is pretty accurate but unsatisfying as far as knowledge. They would like to have a better boundary, and get the standard model (and the key constants) from it. But it makes a good boundary for chemistry to make excellent chemical models.

Similarly (oversimplifying here) chemistry makes a good boundary of definitions for molecular biology.

Note that in this scheme of thinking, the "knowledge and meanings" exist inside the boundary, but don't include the boundary.

One of the issues addressed in this approach is how to make progress in "knowing" without infinite regresses. Philosophically, it is a kind of pragmatism.

As I mentioned elsewhere, science is a negotiation between two different kinds of things not a set of truths. It has many things in common with mapping (and making good maps is a branch of science, and one of the real starts of real science).

2. We are predisposed to believe things. Bacon's notion of why we needed to invent a "new science" is to create a set of processes and heuristics that would help us deal with and get around to some extent "what's wrong with our brains".

As a young scientist, I got the warning that is given to most young scientists "Beware, you always find what you are looking for!"

Some of the interesting examples of good science turning into belief revolve around Newton and both Maxwell's Equations and the orbit of Mercury (neither are "Newtonian"). And if you look at the history you'll see that Newton was a lot less Newtonian than many of his followers.

And yes, we also seem to have some things that are easier to imagine than others -- gods, demons, witches, etc seem easy, but future floods etc seem hard.

3. Sure. E.g. if you think things have to be circles, then this will be part of your implicit context for thinking about orbits. Geocentric used circular orbits and then epicycles to correct them and save the theory (and some great metaphors there for lots of human thinking). But it's important to realize that Copernicus also used circular orbits, and they also used epicycles to save that theory. Kepler worked with Brahe and admired him, so decided to trust his measurements. This led to a different model. The planets themselves didn't care about any of the models.

The definitions are still not -true- and the neighborhood is still not the phenomena. It's just better. You only get Newton from Kepler, not Maxwell or the orbit of Mercury and then Einstein for both.
Yea, let's bury jQuery again and make more "helpers.js" [1]

export function extend(src) {
var obj, args = arguments

for (let i = 1; i < args.length; ++i) {
if (obj = args[i]) {
for (let key in obj) {
// check if this property of the source object could be overridden
if (isWritable(src, key))
src[key] = obj[key]
}
}
}
}

or just add super-unique stuff to our classes [2]

DragSelect.prototype.removeClass = function( element, classname ) {
var cn = element.className;
var rxp = new RegExp( classname + \'\\b\', \'g\' );
cn = cn.replace( rxp, \'\' );
element.className = cn;
return element;
};

DragSelect.prototype.hasClass = function( element, classname ) {
var cn = element.className;
if( cn.indexOf( classname ) > -1 ) { return true; }
else { return false; }
};

or write tons of boilerplate code like

if (typeof element === 'string') {
owner.element = document.querySelector(element);
} else {
owner.element = ((typeof element.length !== 'undefined') && element.length > 0) ? element[0] : element;
}

(mmm, it's so vanilla)

Many men are understanding that marriage is a no win situation. You find yourself working your entire life to support your wife and family only to have a high percentage of ending in divorce. Your assets will be taken from you and you will be lucky if you get 50% custody.

If you do not wand children there is no point in getting married.
