On one of the images, they advise the moderators to demonetize controversial content, and then make exceptions for certian controversies (which Google does not feel it would be right to suppress). This is obviously bias; it's the definition of bias. It just doesn't feel like bias to us because if we were made autocrats and instructed to rule as undemocratically as possible, we would enforce the same bias.

Many states have passed laws that prevent local governments from creating municipal Internet services. Since Internet service is textbook inter-state commerce, the federal government would have authority to override those laws.

Where did you get your email list? Were those entered by the users themselves, but with typos? It seems like a pretty high percentage to be caused only by that.
I think there is a problem with so many people using cdn's when often they aren't needed, because they are adding another layer of centralization on top of an already too centralized platform (dns). There are other ways to prevent ddos other than just a cdn, which is the main reason I hear other techs say they use cdns.

Thats not really a comment on the issue at hand, but I can see how potentially questionable moves in such centralized gatekeepers could cause others to worry about precedent being set and followed by others.
Many web mail clients (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) don't render images by default, and you opt to download each email's images with a button. HTML mail renders without images pretty cleanly if the alt text is included.
IMO, this should be the default for all email clients, and the lack of that feature on mobile devices shows the immature state of mobile development compared to desktop.

Not growth, but revenues.

All asset appreciation is predicated on increases in demand for an asset. Asset appreciation isn’t a pyramid.

You ask good questions and you are not alone.

Often in the Software field, people who are titled "Manager" often describe their job as "protecting the technical team from the chaos upstairs." In some cases the manager would not be able to pass a whiteboard interview for the coding job. Compare that to a supermarket where the store manager might take a few minutes to show a teenaged employee the right way to mop a really big floor.

In the military there is the concept of a "Staff Sergeant" who is an enlisted person who has gotten into a leadership position over time and brings experience in soldiering to support and supplement the junior officer (fresh out of school.)

Roles such as the one you seek exist and are necessary, but it is not a career path that happens without a lot of effort on your part! Consider a role as a tech evangelist.

It seems that widely deploying TLS 1.3 and DOH can provide an effective technical end-around the dismantling of net neutrality. So we should be promoting and trying to deploy them as widely as possible.

Of course, they can still block or throttle by IP, so the next step is to increase deployment of content-centric networking systems.

Aren’t ICOs covered under Reg CF of the JOBS Act though? That was the whole point of the JOBS act: to provide access to capital that an entrepreneur normally wouldn’t be able to obtain.

You're right. The adoption advantage used to be my go-to argument about why Bitcoin is better, but what good is that if it is unusable for transactions it was meant for?

Lightning network looks like it can do something, but the slow progress even with the current situation makes me question the future of Bitcoin.
Can someone tell me what the rules are from companies who are already listed on NASDAQ and trading publicly?

For example say if I join company X today (where X could be Intel or Cisco or a similar company) and I have 40 RSUs vesting over 4 years. After 2 years I decide to leave X. 20 RSUs would have been vested.

I clearly understand that I am going to lose the 20 unvested RSUs completely. My question is about the 20 vested RSUs. Is there a maximum time limit before which I must sell these 20 vested RSUs? Or can I keep these vested RSUs with me for life and choose to sell them whenever I wish?

If it is indeed true that I can keep these vested RSUs with me for life, how exactly would I be selling these RSUs, say after 20 years? I mean, the company does not give me these RSUs directly on printed paper. The RSUs are held in an account in a website of a finance company such as UBS. I log into my UBS account to access my RSU details and sell them. What if UBS goes out of business in 20 years?
Simple or not, it's a subjective. As you said it:

> > it introduces additional considerations, requires a deeper understanding of git for effective use and is a dangerous tool in the hands of people who do not understand what it is doing

I am taught git with rebase (though merge when I use hg) so I am already too used to it. Branching then rebase is not that difficult if you keep your workflow consistent and quick iteration. You should be up to date whenever possible. Amending and rewriting history/comment also requires using rebase.

YMMV.

The real problem with humans is subjectivity.

It'd be an entertaining piece of journalism to try a modern recreation of Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I can't imagine how you could get away with any of it today. And yet, I'm often amazed at what some people can get away with.
To be clear, your first quote ("devolop and trial") is what they (the lab as a whole) do, what the potential hire will do is listed lower:

You will:
- Assist in the design and development of wargames,
translating customer requirements into practicable
designs based on credible overarching scenarios and
vignettes.

They're wanting a wargamer to do wargaming and aid in the development of the technology, but not actually be the developer (programmer, systems engineer, tester, etc.). This is even clearer when you get down to the qualifications where they say they're open to people with history degrees amongst other options.

They want experts in simulations, which can be computerized or not.
nix user going on 25 years here. I use WinSCP and PuTTY to all the time and they work just fine.

This argument seems a bit contrived. Is this honestly something you're concerned with on a daily basis? I doubt it.

> Try doing a port forward, and you'll need to dig around instead of just typing it into a terminal.

No, you don't just type "it" into a terminal. First, you have to lookup the command syntax if you haven't used it in a while. Then you have to type it in correctly and if your syntax is off by even one character, things don't work.

> Also aesthetically, PuTTy has nothing on Terminal.app or iTerm2 etc.

Aesthetics are nice but do you even have a tool like WinSCP? It graphically displays the remote filesystem over your SSH connection and then lets you open a terminal to the path you were looking at. I don't even have to type my password when I open a new terminal from WinSCP.
A price in line with what it costs them to provide that service. If they price it lower than that it is illegal dumping.

Maybe, but if they exhausted their hot wallet supply it would make sense to still allow customers to sell.

Agreed, for someone with a relatively small amount invested in the crypto market (<1k) I find myself impersonating Gordon Gecko an awful lot. The only thing I can compare it to is my brief obsession with football stats when I used to play fantasy football.

Limit free speech to score brownie points? "Good" and "evil" are subjective and mutable, and that's why defending free speech is a good idea -- it's the best process we have to arrive at better definitions of those things.

For example, letting even Nazis have their own site gives everyone rational a glimpse into how "evil" and bankrupt their ideology truly is. Banning them from all platforms, on the other hand, makes them dangerous and mystical, robbing us of data.
Yup, that's all cryptocurrencies investments are right now, a game.

Mabye in the future it can be more than a speculation, but right now it's a game.

Headset unlocks phone unlocks laptop: Dread Pirate Roberts didn't stand a chance
My Bose QC35II headphones are set as a Trusted Device and so automatically unlock my android over bluetooth when I'm in range, and my phone is a trusted device to my Google Chromebook Pixel. Dread Pirate Roberts wouldn't have stood a chance.

To maintain security you really need a backup phone on you at all times that you can use to log out your other devices that isn't part of this chain. You additionally need someone else that you trust who has permission to do this, but that's just yet another attack vector.

Truth is, if someone wants to get at you they can and you can't stop them without being incredibly paranoid. So Bluetooth-based chain of trust, here we go.
President, in US academic nomenclature, equals “chief salesman for soliciting donations from rich alumni.”

"Now that Windows has this, switching back is something that I'm giving serious consideration to."

It's not clear to me that Windows has this ...

I, like you, adopted the MacOS ecosystem because it was UNIX underneath ... but there's a big difference between underneath and alongside.

Although it is not commonly done, you can control and interact with your OSX system with UNIX commands ... there's one single filesystem namespace and you can interact with it from the command prompt as well as kill GUI apps or set preferences or ifconfig, etc.

It's my understanding that the Ubuntu subsystem in recent windows is sort of a parallel environment ... but is not meant to control the system directly or as an alternate path of interaction with Windows, correct ?
> To qualify for the tender offer, participants must have at least 10,000 Uber shares and be “accredited investors,” an SEC designation (pdf) for wealthy individuals.

From the SEC link:

> An accredited investor, in the context of a natural person, includes anyone who:

> earned income that exceeded $200,000 (or $300,000 together with a spouse) in each of the prior two years, and reasonably expects the same for the current year, OR

> has a net worth over $1 million, either alone or together with a spouse (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence)

Wow. There are actually laws in place that say the rich are able to do things that poor people can't.

If you're a former Uber employee who moved somewhere with lower incomes and cost of living, you probably no longer meet the criteria needed to sell these stocks.
How would it be different? Google is subject to what is comfortable for the advertisers and putting these rules in place which seem fair.

That's a lot of assertions without any backup. Here's one thing bitcoin has that no altcoin has: the legitimacy of its network buy-in from being first to market. And since any technology another chain has can be adopted via sidechain, extension block, or soft fork, why not standardize on the one currency that has achieved the most adoption?

I think the really difficult part might be figuring out when to take it off the table. For example, let's say bitcoin goes up 10x. Then do you decide to sell, because it might crash back down the next week? But what if you miss out on another huge increase by selling?
I'd say it's more like a ponzi because the market volume is so far from accurate due to the chameleon hoardsters. They will dumptruck eventually, so anything gleaned from looking at current market stats is really just a facade. Wait till the whales start selling...And no disrespect to Satoshi who is most likely Finney but if he or his children ever decide to dump their share that most appraisers tend to consider "missing for good," you can bet the price will take a monstrous hit. Thats why I consider BTC a ponzi. The current dynamics are an ill reflection of the actual level of buyers and sellers. And there is no real way to assess number of hoarders due to not knowing how many BTC are lost or simply forgot about.
Shorting futures does not necessarily mean there's negative sentiment. There's a large arbitrage opportunity right now. Futures are going for about $1,000 more than BTC itself right now and you can make risk-free* (assuming you know how to securely store your private key) profit. Doing so requires selling a future.

Another detail that's not well-known unless you know someone who's gone through it: buying your shares comes with a huge tax bill.

As I understand it, you have to pay tax on the difference between the option price and the value at the time you buy them. So if you have a bunch of options to buy at $10 per share, and the company grows to $90 per share by the time you quit/have to buy your shares, you're taxed on $80 a share. Remember, stock in a private company is worthless until you find a buyer, which is one of the reasons the people referenced in the article had to go into debt to exercise their options.

30% of a large amount of imaginary money ends up causing a gigantic tax bill, paid in actual money.
Hard-forked? Never. But you don't need to hard-fork to secure the network. Bitcoin HAS soft-forked several times to close of critical zero-day vulnerabilities, although to be fair this was in the early days of the network. (There was multiple ways in which any random participant could spend anyone's funds in the early days. They were all honorably disclosed and fixed without being exploited.)
All your granted shares go to your brokerage account. Those are insured by SIPC insured up to a limit. You can sell your shares whenever you want except for certain blackout dates around earnings if you are still employed by that company.
1. Interfaces allow swapping out objects.

2. Mocking is a bad idea even in languages that support it well.

A better approach, when you do need to deal with fakes, is verified fakes: write two versions of an interface, and a test suite for that interface to ensure the fake acts the same as the real thing.

This is a good point, thanks. I don't think Soylent has ongoing problems, and while I had the mold in mind Rhinehart seems to have done well with that.

My thought was less that Soylent had a consumer confidence problem, and more that Rosa Labs may have a board confidence problem. Meaning the 12 month old issues still floating around, but also meaning that Rhinehart has magnets in his fingertips and is generally a "weird futuristic tech dude" stereotype. That was great for getting Soylent going, and I expect Rhinehart will keep coming up with fascinating new stuff. But if the board is looking for mainstream appeal and enormous returns, they'd do better with a "nutrition on the go" image than a "posthuman meal replacement" image. And part of that would be moving Rhinehart to product, where he'll shine regardless, and out of the spotlight, where he might be image-incompatible.

It's the same move as something like Good Day Chocolate; they're basically a bog-standard nootropics company, but they put the stuff in chocolate instead of pills and packaged it for the Whole Foods checkout line. I'm not sure that's the goal with Soylent, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was an attempt.
Depends what timescale you mean.

Does one cryptocurrency increase 20x in a month? Then yes, it's a bubble, and it will likely crash pretty hard in another month or two (but probably not as much as it rose).

Does it increase 20x in a few years? Not necessarily a bubble because its value may simply be related to its adoption and potential.

The thing about cryptocurrencies is they have rather limited supply once they are launched on the market. So if their userbase/number of adopters increases by 10x overnight, and most of them intend to keep those coins, then it doesn't really qualify as a bubble, even if the value explodes.
The principle applies to all traffic. Current rules are far from perfect on their own and have loopholes already. Instead of repealing them, they should be extended, including outright banning anti-competitive data caps which is a pure rip off.
Except that hitler video is now making money from the pepsi ad. And its not far fetched to say that pepsi is giving money to creators of that video and when pepsi exec find out that that is a thing, they will want to shut it down asap.
