Susan Fowler is a great person but this reeks of a clickbait agenda.

She is important but Xi, Bezos,and Musk are radically changing the face of the world in a much much greater capacity.

EDIT:

Musk has the hyperloop, tesla, spacex. These are what I consider revolutionary technologies that could change the face of our global civilization.

Bezos is eating the world with amazon, whole foods, and washington post. Amazon is leading so many new industries drone deliveries, cloud, and so many are cities are competing for hq2. What isn't amazon doing lately ?

Xi is changing the face of silicon valley by making SV more like china which has huge global implications.

I think Fowler is great, but she isn't on the same level.
> But that's not why the large investors get to sell their stock of Uber. They get to sell because they negotiated the right to sell, which may have included the right to use an SPV to hold their Uver stock.

Lots of preferred stock does not carry the right to be transferred (or to be transferred free of other restrictions, e.g. a right of first refusal). SPV transfers are a convenient, if mutually-overlooked, workaround. Their existence is rarely explicitly negotiated.

Another case, more directly tying power and economics: Some companies require Board approval for transfers. Guess who tends to get Board approval.

As others have mentioned, the problem is that people don't know what presidents do.

Academic decisions are made by provost, the second in command.

A president's job is basically only fundraising from mega donors and being at events mega donors are. If they are excellent at that, any president is worth more than $1 million a year. All the rest is peripheral.
Sorry to break it to you, this is not "new" money pouring in. This is a very well orchestrated and calibrated pump.
The line of thinking here seems to be that, to get to $1M, you probably have learned a lot more than someone making only $50-60k a year. So not only would you have the capital, you'd also have the common sense not to make a poor investment.

I hope they've done their testing well. Casinos don't get a lot of slack from the public. One single mom with a pacemaker and this could end badly.

If someone really wants to shoot someone else in said casino it's probably because they want to shoot their former boss or whoever got them fired. Being a former employee puts them in a great position to know via the grapevine what the edge cases for the system are. This system is mostly to reassure the overly-worried.
History is only "cleaner" because Git in its default configuration only throws the raw version graph at you and fails to visualize it in a readable fashion. With a properly structured visualization, such as Bazaar's hierarchical logs, merging is not just as clean, it actually carries more information.

In hierarchical logs, a merge commit stands for the series of commits that are being merged. You can then unfold such commits and view the series of commits as a nested list of commits (which may again contain merge commits).

Think of a merge commit as the equivalent of a procedure call where the procedure body is the series of commits being merged.

(Note that there are other ways to visualize version graphs with merge commits; this is just the simplest way to do it and could actually be easily added on top of Git.)

Rebasing has two problems. It discards the original version structure and it can create commits that never build or don't pass tests (because they never existed as such).

Frequent use of rebasing is almost always an indication that a VCS is lacking important functionality.

Don’t want to be cynical. Why don’t the top 5 CS program online undergrad or masters degrees?

The cynical view is the De Beers conjecture. Artificial scarcity is used to maintain prestige, brand equity for the university (http://aei.org/publication/on-the-economics-of-diamonds-the-...).

The generous view is that they are just trying to find a way to ensure a high bar of quality and experience, and as soon as that’s possible they’ll all have options.

I believed MIT has come closest - you can in principal enter a program without a 99% percentile GRE score (or any GRE score) if you can do the work. You have to spend some time on campus, but in the end it’s an MIT degree without an asterisk. For some reason they’ve not picked Computer Science as one of the first programs.

Berkeley’s data science programs do not offer computer science degrees, and unfortunately are not even in the college of engineering. It’s a shame because a lot of the math/work there is a starting foundation for machine learning.
I think crucially British soldiers do not get the funded university education that US soldiers do when they leave.

But that's because the UK does not have the same culture of young men going into the Army for a few years before going to college. In the UK if you wanted to go to college you'd do that before you joined the Army, and there are bursaries for that.
Manga have done this but many manga are created by folks with obsessive traits and a history and culture of depiction of great detail in the backgrounds. I can buy an argument that this wasn't the case for anime for a long time, perhaps because of time or budgetary reasons.

After the Time person of the year thing there was a bit of an online spat about who did and didn't get featured on the cover and who was most deserving of the credit.

Probably the most obvious theme of Evangelion is the subjugation of nature to humans (while constantly being contrasted with the futility of doing so). I think it's the very first episode where they get in a car on a hot day and a character turns on the AC while literally commenting on how air conditioning is a crowning achievement of mankind's domination over nature.

Then the wires are shown to be the fragile extensions of people's ability to project power over nature (e.g. the titular giant Mecha only work for a limited time when not tethered to power).

A suitable analogy might be with the police. Both are employed by the state and face risks of daily violence in their jobs.

Sure, against a complete stranger the web server might be more vulnerable, but sometimes the attackers are already in our LANs :)

I was thinking more about employees, or students at universities, or such. I believe I've seen tools that ARP-spoof and then automatically detect downloads of ELF or PE files and trojanize them, all without requiring almost any knowledge from the attacker. I don't know if any of these tools detect Putty and fix its signature too, but it wouldn't be hard to do.
On the other hand, someone with $150K income and $800K net worth can easily afford a $5K investment, and is probably sophisticated enough to not be completely stupid about it. It makes more sense to use percentages rather than a fixed cutoff (and in fact that's what the JOBS Act does).
I would not be shocked if Google was not at 100% ad fill, especially considering how much I see their own products being advertised.
TFS is great if everything in your codebase is a Visual Studio project. If you are trying to use it for other things, there are better version control systems out there.

My ranking is Perforce > Git > TFS > SVN. I haven't used Mercurial. I like Perforce the best because of its clean UI, its explicit checkout mechanism (all files are read-only by default, and you have to check out anything before you can edit), the integration tool GUI, and the ability to cloud-save work without submitting it. TFS is nice because it has built-in code review, but the UI isn't nearly as clean as Perforce.

Damn. Very impressive.
A pure payment system within an app. Say that someone builds a social network that lets you easily get in touch with people who have need of skills that you possess. They then introduce a token system - call it "karma", maybe - that you can grant to people who perform good deeds for you, and then if your karma is positive, you can grant it to others in exchange for favors or services. Since you only receive karma for actions you perform and it doesn't rise in value based on the efforts of the social network, it's not a security. It is a currency, however, and could fall afoul of laws governing currencies.

BTW, a number of games successfully have things like this, eg. Linden dollars in Second Life, gold in WoW, or tokens in FarmVille.

It's not putty. It is every single terminal application out there.
One of the questions I have is why is that a requirement? Why does one network need to support the entire global populations? I mean if it's to be used as fiat currency then I only need it to pay for things roughly in my extended community. Why aren't there seperate networks developing in distinct geographic areas?

Because people, who are the important factor here and not your burnt CPU cycles, live in those localities and have generally agreed to live in this thing called "society" where regulations are made within that society's jurisdiction.

When I heard power lines, for some reason one scene from Patlabor came to mind.

It's the quintessential Tokyo city view from the window, and the quintessential view inside a window from the city. Outside there are power lines. You cannot avoid them. And looking in, you see the tatami flooring and dudes in their underwear.

I thought it might have been Patlabor 2, but it was the original movie. So that's 1989. Both movies are staples of Japanese anime.

But power lines can also be found in episode 1 of the TV series.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFTs97NpnUo

So my short answer would be Patlabor, but that's just from my own memory.

I think the commonality here is that the power lines are used to portray a sense of scale for the robots. A kid growing up in Tokyo knows exactly how high those lines are.

> The history of North American and Western European economies after going off the gold standard, and asian and Eastern Europe economies more recently all show these same correlations.

So what you're saying is that it's all based on one data point, the second world-war. Gold existed for thousands of years, why is this incredibly bizarre period of history used as a proof of anything about the gold-standard?

Even worse, the gold standard wouldn't have collapsed if it weren't for the widespread use of fractional reserves banking, along with many government policies at the time that significantly worsened the situation.

The 40's, 50's and 60's were a period of unprecedented growth for the US, which was on the gold standard during that whole period, but no one tries to claim that the gold standard was responsible for that.
Skyrim VR vs. Fallout 4 VR – Which Is the Better Port?
I think GoPro did this. Offered up stock and had an insane valuation that is useless since the tax is worth more than the stock.
I'd argue that working at crappy companies is the problem and stock comp pain is just one symptom -- I find various forms of crappiness tend to correlate. At places with solid cultural values (Pinterest, Dropbox, Asana, Coinbase to name drop a few), employees are treating reasonably fairly on all dimensions.

There's just a few ground rules:

1. Is the company giving options? They better have a 7 year exercise window (https://triplebyte.com/blog/fixing-the-inequity-of-startup-e... ); if not, don't work there.

2. Is the company giving RSUs? Great; just realize you'll be paying nearly 50% taxes when they convert to shares. (and make sure that the company will actually pay your taxes by buying back shares when they do convert!)

3. Is the company super early stage? Your options are probably worth nothing and probably will amount to nothing. But if it costs almost nothing to exercise (strike + taxes), you might as exercise them now.
> It seems like everybody assumes you're on a big fat broadband pipe now and nobody else matters.

This is intentional. The powers that be have an interest in moving everyone to faster networks, and they effectively control all new web standards, and so build their protocols to force the apps to require faster, bigger pipes. This way they are never to blame for the new requirements, yet they get the intended benefits of fatter pipes: the ability to shove more crap down your throat.

It's possible to cache static binary assets using encrypted connections, but I am not aware of a single RFC that seriously suggests its adoption. It is also to the advantage of the powers that be (who have the financial means to do this) to simply move content distribution closer to the users. As the powers that be don't provide internet services over satellite or microwave, they do not consider them when defining the standards.
I think the so-called carousel attack would apply.

> I don't think any of these people themselves are jostling for the position of most heroic person of 2017

I'm curious about the phenomenon. We had mass acceptance of horrifying behaviour. Switches flipped and what was dirty but tolerable became unacceptable. If we wish to replicate this process in other domains, it would be helpful to understand what happened.
> If I eat one meal per day after that meal I will feel lazy and quite tired.

It takes some days/weeks (dependending on the individual) for your body to switch from carbs-only to carbs & fat burning so when you feel lazy and tired it is because your body is not properly burning fat to supply you with the energy required thus asks for food always that it depletes carbs of easy access.

> If I finally eat any later than 6pm I will start getting weak/shaky beyond 6pm.

Yup! I feel the same. I eat 8-9pm and around 11pm I sleep like a baby. Win-win.

> This isn't a result of lack of acclimation.

Now this is a point difficult to prove.
You might not given that provider plans and bundles do change over time. Sometimes there are still restrictions and drawbacks (e.g. throttling) since providers are opaque about their services. There could be new plans that include tethering but cost more or have bandwidth caps.
This is just depressing. Sure, sell us out to big corporations by not implementing proper features in protocols like HTTP/2 so we can get tracked for decades to come. Yet, represent freedom by yet another cool way to "fool" governments. When historians look back at what happened to the Internet, or even society, they are going to find that organizations like the IETF was to busy with romantic dreams of their own greatness to serve the public. It's like people leaned nothing from Snowden.
> Spammers, etc. all want a cheap easy payday, that's the entire point (money for minimal time).

I'm under the impression that spamming isn't as easy as it once was, and a fair amount of effort needs to be devoted to bypassing spam/abuse detection and blocks, which is exactly what a shadowban is.

> Once the system became unreliable for them, they just moved on to something else.

I would imagine that would depend on if there are equivalent services that the spammer could more easily migrate to. It sounds like they didn't move on from spamming, just from your service. Switching to drop in replacement would definitely be easier than writing a shadowban detector.

I'm just disputing that shadowbanning is a more effective solution than straight bans. It's just not that much harder to detect.

Options have value, but the value comes with a large variance and serious risk.

From a financial perspective, what you want isn't $1,000 worth of options, but a _risk-adjusted_ $1,000 worth of options. Which means in all likelyhood, more like $100,000 worth of options.

> I really can't believe somebody ever bought a MacBook because they found installing putty too much of hassle.

It's not that installing Putty is a hassle, but my choice to buy a MacBook was very heavily driven by the fact that macOS is Unix based. My time spent between Windows 10 and macOS is pretty even, but it is a much more enjoyable experience to develop in macOS partly because of the Unix-based shell.
