The discussion of the analogy has been very interesting!

I'm not sure I'm convinced that overqualified candidates either higher maintenance or more likely to quit. That hasn't been been my experience and I know my experience is limited, the HBR article cited however seems to back up my personal experience for what that is worth.

The variables around why someone works somewhere and whether or not they quit has, again in my experience, been more very strongly correlated with how well they like their job. And it is the factors that they "like" or "dislike" about there job rarely relate to how experienced they are or are not, and are much more likely to be based on whether or not they feel they are respected for their work, if they like or dislike their peers, like or dislike the day to day of their job, and like or dislike their office configuration (environment). That is the basis for my belief if "over qualified" is the single factor left over then it doesn't seem to correlate how successful they will be in the job.

All that said, and specifically addressing the analogy, the things that I find make for 'high maintenance' employees are an inability to hear constructive criticism (so poor self awareness), a lack of curiosity (so unable to see the questions that need to be asked), and a lack of respect for their work (so they aren't really trying to improve at all).

Does that make them Ferraris or Jaguars ? :-) Sometimes the more expensive car (like the Model S) has a lower total cost of ownership, sometimes it doesn't. But it has been really interesting thinking about the "maintenance" cost of employees from that perspective.

Firefox and Chromium will never support full keybinding-driven navigation. WebExtensions severely limits when keys can be captured, so there are many cases where they cannot be used: when the addressbar is focused, while pages are loading, etc.

Qutebrowser keybindings essentially have full control over the page at all times.

I somewhat agree, but wouldn't it create a better environment funding 10 or 100 smaller startups? I know you can argue that "this is just how much it takes to do this". But in my opinion it's more likely that you could reach your goal funding 20 companies with 100MUSD (which is still a huge amount of money, even if you're doing custom silicon).

Absolutely this. Some people think silos are bad, but it absolutely works brilliantly in terms of team cohesion. No stepping on toes. Few arguments because everyone is responsible for their own stuff. No nitpicking over irrelevant style preferences. Pride in ownership, self accountability, thoughtful decision making (mostly). All this leads to good working relationships that come in handy when cross-realm issues arise.

Every place that had a great team did it this way.

> At the same time Russian information warriors were posting voluminous fake news, such as the infamous “crucified boy” false report that was first put out by Russian propaganda TV on 12 July 2014. Using huge numbers of “sock puppet” accounts, the Russians amplified fake news to put it at the top of “most viewed right now” lists on social media and news aggregators. The Russian troll army also worked in large numbers to suppress or ban pro-Ukrainian accounts. En masse, they would report to Facebook any posting critical of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as being either “nudity/pornography” or “hate speech” against an identifiable group. It turns out the category of the complaint didn’t matter, as the algorithm used by Facebook responded to the volume of complaints, not the substance of them. Ukrainian accounts accurately reporting the war were punished with banishment, and Russian accounts spreading fake news were rewarded with prominence.

I know this is a late reply, but after the 2016 election, I told myself that I wish I was born in the 1920s.

I think a timeline similar to the life of Shirley Temple would be perfect. You'd get to see all sorts of societal and technological advances and then pass away at a ripe old age before things get really bad.
>"Tsukiji is the most exalted fish market on earth, the sort of humbling place that causes the likes of globally worshipped god-chef René Redzepi to deem it one of the “seven culinary wonders of the world.”

What a cringe-worthy sentence that is. Also what a load of crap that sentence is. I'm guessing the writer has never actually been. Tsukiji is a wholesale fish market. Its smelly, cold and wet with lots of flash frozen fish sitting on warehouse pallets. Just like what you would expect a wholesale fish market to be. It just happens to be in Tokyo.
Unfortunately it seems that in WebExtensions, or at least Firefox and Chromium's current implementations of it, keybindings can only be captured by a plugin while a page is finished loading, and while the address bar is focused. There is also no way to do things like focus/defocus the addressbar, autohide the addressbar, autohide the tab bar, and many other small details that Qutebrowser effortlessly achieves.
They don't want people abusing the system to get free EU citizenship. It's about attracting talent to NL.
This is a flawed analogy. Software projects usually have a "central" repository which serves as the ground truth, and copies are made bit-perfect. Any difference is a result of someone's conscious choice.

Languages are learned individually by each child, depending on the environment that includes family, friends, and the whole town. No two kids can have exactly the same upbringing.

So, having multiple dialects is pretty much the natural state of any living, thriving language. To artificially unify them is a conscious choice that needs to be justified.

https://github.com/google/xi-editor uses many similar ideas to implement concurrent editing by plugins and other devices. In fact nathansobo, the author of this post, wrote a summary of some of the work Raph Levien (Xi's primary author) has done on CRDTs, so this is probably not a coincidence.

Xi also keeps track of changes using a data structure like Patch. It doesn't use a tree to do so, although we may eventually switch some to use Xi's generic Rope tree data structure. One interesting difference is that Xi always creates another "layer" for every edit and never modifies anything. This leads to lots of layers, but instead of working forwards from a "base text" we work backwards from the current text. So accessing the current text is very fast, and accessing a past snapshot may require mapping in reverse past a small number of edits.

They both solve the same problems though, although Xi's approach of layers for every edit also enables seamless multi-device concurrent editing via a full CRDT merge implementation.

If you're interested in reading in detail about the approach Xi uses, I wrote a big document about it near the end of my internship working on Xi's CRDT: https://github.com/google/xi-editor/blob/master/doc/crdt-det...
> When you truly accept that we today are not smarter nor necessarily more 'enlightened' than the people that came before us

We're not necessarily smarter (native intellect) but we are a shitload more enlightened (educated, experienced). In Plato's time, only the absolute social elite could converse in this manner, whereas now we have much broader and deeper knowledge available (and discussed) on pretty much every aspect of life that is common between our times.

Don't fall into the trap of deifying past thinkers; they were humans too. Yes, we can learn lessons from them, but our populace as a whole is more enlightened than the populace as a whole in Plato's time. One simple example is egalitarianism; while not perfect now, Greek democracies were only democratic for elite men. Sucks to be you if you're a slave or a woman because... um... that's just the way it is? If you're going to be making theory, you should work from solid foundations - the ancient Greeks had some really wrong ideas about the role of the physical heart and brain of a human, and no-one today would talk about the left ventricle being the source of human heat, for example.

Well, i work with startups a lot, and had helped hundreds of them launch their products and get funded, or generate sales, this is my advice to you:

1- You need a video commercial something simple, entertaining and youthful, something that would generate interest in your product, and people will be intrigued by
2- Create a good landing page or a website for your startup if you don't already have one and add the commercial to it. You need a great website, something that screams professional and clean, especially since your product is cybersecurity, and attach free trials along to your website.
3- Now for the next step, you need to spread your website far and wide on social media and web magazines, and try to have the biggest number of people visit and try it, and make sure you collect their reviews.
4- Once you have a big number of people who tried and loved your product, you can approach investors again, but this time with a product that has been tested and widely accepted in the market.

I probably have a few more good ideas, hit me up and lets chat about it more.
It's hard to find real numbers on this but it certainly seems like most of the money is coming from speculators. Of course Bitcoin is also used in actual sales transactions sometimes and in black markets etc but it's mostly speculation.

I've heard people refer to them as performance drugs, good for short term gain, but possible side effects.

They can challenge authority. They can get work done twice as fast, and you'd get a good deal if they show up only 80% of the time. The star players can also be divas, challenge bosses. Some cultures have more difficulty dealing with it and sometimes it comes with drama.

They tend to be a little stubborn. I met one senior with almost 10 years experience who refused to use source control or log into Trello. Project management for that project fell apart because the key members were not on it.
> If you discount the quality of a degree from a well-regarded university just because it’s in a foreign country, it’s racist (or xenophobic or something roughly equivalent).

i don't see how it can be 'racist', because countries aren't races. it might be in some sense 'xenophobic', as it seems more a case of people being more comfortable with people similar to them.
I agree XACML has lot of complexities. But if you look at the recent developments, you can now have both XACML request and response JSON based - and the communication between the PEP and PDP in a RESTful manner. Also - there is a standard coming up to have a JSON representation of XACML policies. BTW, this blog only presents an architectural model - it can be any policy language. Recently I found Netflix uses the same model for policy distribution but instead of XACML, uses PADME. For me more than the language, the issue XACML having is maintainability, auditability and governance. There are tools around to support that. Even PADME does not solve these problems.
So here's an odd thing. I made a puzzle game for Android where I use Euler, and some of the puzzles require the divergance to work. It has caused a curious phenomenon where some people think the game is wrong, yet the game at no stage mentions what the rules of motion are.

I have seen people talk about the puzzles in terms of planets, gravity, massless bodies etc. when in-fact they are just circles that move towards or away from other circles. Theoretically people who can identifiy the Euler intergrator should be able to go "aha! I know what to do now" but so many get hung up on the idea that it is wrong.

Well, if you're familiar with sums, then the "shortcut" isn't all that much faster; it's mostly a function of how quickly you can grok the salient points:

The fly travels 3/2 times the speed of a train, so every bounce the fly travels 3/5 of the remaining track and leaves 1/2 * 2/5 = 1/5 track to travel, so we just compute the geometric sum

3/5 * \sum 1/5^r = 3/5 * 1/(1 - 1/5)
= 3/5 * 1/(4/5)
= 3/5 * 5/4
= 3/4.

One nice thing about this sum is that it encodes a bit more insight about the fly's flight path than the shortcut method.
Nothing quite screams b2b tech like, better sales beating better product.

Vendors spend a lot of money on marketing and sales and id argue its a much tougher nut to crack that putting together some great tech. IT sr managers and up are constantly harassed by vendors for a piece.

Security however, sounds like you picked a good space to be in. I’d focus on getting an installed base by whatever means necessary. Your prospects are going to want to see you are out there in production at real companies. Ive heard stories of very small startups getting in that way.
> There is nothing that would make it impossible for a job or a school system to be as engaging as a video game

You mention "public school" in the previous sentence, which is important, because many private school do successfully address the engagement issue by having a much more rich and unstructured environment with better teacher to student ratios and passionate teachers that more freedom to innovate. That doesn't mean that there aren't great teachers at public schools, but that the standardization and lack of resources really hobbles them.
Most definitely not.
I didn't say they are basically they same.

Highly unlikely.

Branson's Virgin Group owns only 20% of Virgin Atlantic (don't let yourself be mislead by the Virgin name appearing all over the place - Virgin tends to start businesses, sell all or part of them when the opportunities are right, but continue to lease the name out to the buyers; the Virgin brand appears on dozens of companies with little to no Virgin Group ownership).

In 2016, Virgin Atlantic's revenue was less than 3bn GBP, with Virgin Group's "share" of that, just 600 million GBP (yes, I know it doesn't make sense to count it that directly; if looking at operating income instead, Virgin Atlantic's operating income in 2016 was ca. 150mn GBP), while Virgin Group's revenue was 20 billion pounds. So Branson's airline interests are relatively minor in the grand scheme of things.

And Virgin Atlantic would not face much competition from high speed rail (the clue is in the name - Virgin Atlantic might in fact very well benefit from a high speed rail network if it meant the ability to offer customers faster/easier access to more of the US with fewer US destinations which would make it easier for them to compete with airlines with more comprehensive route networks).

Virgin Group also wholly owns a UK train operator - if they saw "regular" high speed rail as a good business opportunity in the US, odds are higher they'd invest in it than try to stop it.
If it's publicly tradable equity in a stable company it's worth SOMETHING, but only as much you as a hypothetical buy and hold investor would give it over the cliff period. It obviously also comes with some risk so I'd give a public equity offer with a future vesting date a considerable discount vs cash now.
> A college friend of mine gave me the best advise for starting a new job. The first task they give you, make sure you bust your ass to get it done fast and well. That will set the tone.

Underrated advice.
That's good to hear. Carly Fiorina worked her way up from Admin to CEO. Though, that is a bad example because it didn't work work out too well for HP.

I don't think being a barista is much different than my example, though. Maybe they should make them internal hires.
I remember talking with a friend of mine in the 90's about this and he thought we would have a revolution in this country if things didn't change vis a vis inequality. What's happening so far is the rats at the bottom of the ship are blaming the slightly different rats in the same situation for making the problem worse.
> who are you to say they will be "bored" or "twiddling their thumbs all day" ?

But that's not the real reason. The reason is they are afraid because the experienced person can see through bullshit better. They are harder to fool and brainwash to work for free. With stuff like "There won't be a paycheck next month, but don't worry we are turning corner, once we exit you'll all drive Ferraris!", "We are changing the world, just need to finalize this feature by next week, so let's all work a little harder (and by all I mean you all)". Someone with experience will say something "Thanks but no thanks, I've heard this before" a new college graduate will say "Yay! Let's do it, I'll impress everyone with how little sleep I can get each night".

And I am not being too hyperbolic here. I've heard from owners before confessing that hey love hiring college grads because they can drive them hard, they are full of enthusiasm and are not "tainted" by other corporations.

Another friend from another startup, confessed that they like those take-home interview problems. Stuff like "Implement a distributed database over the weekend and show us the code on Monday during the interview". The reason is because they can get the really desperate and dedicated people willing to invest that much time into projects. As when crunch time comes, they'll need those "skills".
Because people would turn off WiFi from Control Center and then forget about it, resulting in expensive cellular overages. (This cost me about $30, for example.)

Believe It or Not, the $20 Spinner Phone Is a Real Thing
Everyone has been chuckling about electric cars and private rockets until recently, and that was by experts in the respective fields. Chuckle all you want.
some of those places are still pretty expensive although their stuff is better or least graded better. exurban areas near where you live are likely to have reclaimed lumber, which is dirt cheap and may have added character. steel just got a lot cheaper - $10 for 20ft of 1/8 wall 1/2 x 1" cold roll welded tube. $6 for 1/2 x 1/2. building supply recyclers near where i live still have solid core doors piled up.

i think the appeal of Ikea as stock is that its already cut down and comes with fasteners/brackets/etc. but you can come out ahead and have considerably more design flexibility if you know how to shop.

i built maybe 60' in shelving for my bedroom. light steel frame, inset reclaimed pine flooring. the whole thing was probably $50 in materials. and when i leave it on the street when i move out, someone is likely going to want to take it its not going to look like an old cardboard box.
This is a really great point and something that I keep in mind when considering my current job and future offers. Its really easy in a big org, to stick around for a long time, feel valued and wanted (intra-company professional network, regular raises and promotions etc.) and think that that is it, that its a good enough life. I see a LOT of people like that and I've always wondered if they could possibly move to another company and be as happy as they are in their current position.

I'm still figuring out ways to not get into a rut like that...
Makes sense.

1) Read "Beautiful Racket".
2) Implement it.

My argument? I wasn't making an argument about the iPhone, merely commenting on the hypocrisy of those making these claims and how they were used before to bolster Apple.

You can't hold both to be true at the same time. Either Apple was wrong with it's Maps release, or Microsoft was fine when not competing. You can't say Apple was right and Microsoft was wrong. It's illogical.
I think I phrased that wrongly - for individual people, having laws may or may not actually help you. (If I'm understanding you right, the law could have helped you, had you been advised correctly about it, but you weren't.) But for society as a whole, having the law means some people are going to be helped by it. Many aren't. But a social change always starts small.
Here is an article that shares the opinion and gives an overview of key ideas.

It seems like in the late 80s and early 90s this topic was very hot, then became a fad. You can find many books and papers that all have basically the same content (Lorenz/Henon attractors, logistic map, Mandelbrot set). I think it underwent a name change to "complexity science" during the 90s and 00s. I'm not in academia, but I do try to follow the topic because it is truly fascinating and IMO more accessible than quantum or relativity physics because many of the systems involved can be easily programmed/visualized with basic computers.
