"Planning for potential acquisition exits also includes having bonus pools for key employees (which include founders and current executives) that align their incentives with company stakeholders to achieve value upon an exit."

That has too be a joke right? They are arguing that the terms that will lead to only the executives and founders getting a cash out are necessary in order to align their incentives to achieve value for stakeholders.... who will receive nothing in the sale?

Seems like the only thing this bonus structure is incentivising is their orchestration of a quick and dirty last minute exist so they can get their bonuses while the rest of the company burns down. Hopefully it will get voted to hell, and a new structure will be put in place where the key employees don't make a dime until the ensure that all stakeholders make money.
Exactly! All I wanted to point out that it's a personal decision, not an absolute one.
Citizen Developers Driving Digital World
Totally agree. If the company has enough traction and I have a decent shares/options package with a clear exit strategy in sight then I'd stay even if my boss was a wild baboon and my job mostly involved shoveling monkey shit.

If you're a manager in a high traction company and you're losing employees regularly, you should seriously consider finding another career.
>If reviewer suspects there is a bug, reviewer should check for it instead of having reviewee explain him or defend every detail.

It is not a matter of if the reviewer "suspects there is a bug", but rather a matter of if the reviewer is convinced that there is not a bug.

If the reviewer needs to have someone explain why every minor code change is correct, they are either lazy or incompetent (or the code is badly written). Further, it is generally a bad idea to go to the person who wrote the code to explain why it is correct, as you are then much more likely to make the same mistake the original author made. However, being "okay" often goes beyond correctness, and into business decisions. Often times, these business are not documented (or if they are documented, it is in some management document that is not linked to from the code), so in order to review it, the reviewer has to ask the author what the bussiness consideration that led to the change was.
Not a single link on the first page relates to actual business getting destroyed.

Also, amount of google searches does not mean much. You should know better.
What I am afraid of is that these people payments are being subsidised by VC money, when that money runs out and they have to compete truly based on market self-regulated prices I fear the workers will be getting paid less and less to make up for the costs, it's good for a while but people are becoming dependent on something that is still very unstable.
I'd love some options to let me use this for my office. Different icon, "guest wifi" instead of "house rules", etc.
Ok, just wondering, why would I get down-voted for this? I must have misunderstood the idea about down-voting, to me it looks like people are just expressing disagreement, I thought it was about discouraging impolite discussion?

> Kind of a tangent, but does anyone know why glibc’s allocator loses to jemalloc on common workloads?

Jemalloc implements more complex strategies (per-thread caches learned from tcmalloc, preallocated arenas, …).

It tends to have a somewhat higher memory use than simpler allocators, but have faster throughput and less fragmentation (the latter is why Firefox switched to jemalloc by default IIRC).

> I would expect that would be something worth rectifying unless other requirements tie their hands.

Why? If they consider ptmalloc good enough for their purpose, replacing it would be very low priority, and they may value e.g. code simplicity higher.

Incidentally, there was talk at one point to replace glibc's ptmalloc: https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-10/msg00419.html
Reddit ads are at fixed positions on the page and don't have sound or motion. They generally provide no distraction, unless the content actually catches my attention because it is something I'm actually interested in. Their ad targeting is good enough that I actually am interested in a fair number of them.

Unless it turns out that the high CPU usage is the fault of the ads (which I've not been able to prove), Reddit's ad system is the kind of ad system we should be encouraging, so I don't block them.

Every time I see a ranking like this, I think: wow, what a crap ranking.

Innovation has relatively little to do with nation-states. It has quite a lot to do with city-regions, however: those, much more than nation-states, are what produce the social and economic dynamism that fuels innovation.

What the Bloomberg and other similar metrics do is take real indicators of innovation and then averages them across randomly-sized buckets, making it genuinely useless for comparative purposes. Singapore fares very well because it's a city-state. China fares very poorly because it has three-quarters of a billion people who aren't doing anything particularly from an innovation perspective. America has the same "problem" on a smaller scale. But innovative places like Shenzhen or the SF Bay Area can approach Singaporean levels of innovation, while China and America's innovation output as a whole certainly outdo Singapore's.

So this ranking is showing neither the total innovation output of a country, nor the "innovation density" of places where innovators actually congregate. So what is it showing? Basically nothing.

(This is not to dispute the thesis that America, as a whole, is having national-scale problems with how it fosters innovation. Personally I agree with that, but would not use this garbage metric to try to support that thesis.)

You might perhaps have a setup where trusted users are running trusted code, can guarantee* a lack of malicious intent, and primarily want the user-and-process-segregation system to prevent a single failure of a single process from affecting anyone else.

You might conceivably have this in a corporate environment (I do).

For the vast majority of systems that do run untrusted code, including web browsers, this mitigation is probably appropriate.

Perhaps the word “might” here could be upgraded to “probably”?

*for some arbitrary value of “guarantee”

The only way to stop labor practices that involve abusing workers, not paying a living wage or for healthcare, is to say (as a customer and voter) that you will not tolerate this type of business existing.

In other words, if company X can only deliver your low price pizza and Diet Coke via abuse of its workers, then that business should not exist. It's a hard leap to make for many people, but a necessary one.
> I think it's fair to say that men drive more powerful, larger cars(on average) than women do

I know you're sorta spitballing here, but at least in my experience that's a bit backwards. Around here, I'd guess women drive SUVs more than men do. Growing up, fathers would buy their daughters SUVs because they were safer. Now, husbands have their wives drive the family SUV for the same reason. Plus, moms and minivans, etc. That might just be a thing in the area I grew up, though. It's probably different in downtown Seattle.

> So....they get into more accidents because the cars they drive are objectively more difficult to drive.

I'd bet the testosterone doesn't help much, either :-)
I first read “The Dispossessed” in a hospital delivery room while waiting for my first child to be born. The way Le Guin paints an entire life’s dreams and hopes and their external bounds left an indelible impression. There is a birth scene in the book that I remember with as much emotion as the actual birth the same night.

On a more general level, “The Dispossessed” is a good example of the paradigm shift that Le Guin (and some other writers of her generation) introduced to science fiction writing, because the book compares so directly to Heinlein’s “The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress” written less than ten years earlier. Both are about experimental societies on a moon, but there’s a huge difference in approach.

Heinlein’s book is basically the last hurrah of the pulpy, swashbuckling post-war style of sci-fi novels. It’s an enormously entertaining book, but the characters have practically negative depth — they just do whatever the plot requires at any given point — and the future society is a charmingly naïve macho fantasy of a resourceless American West where nobody has anything, yet everybody behaves their best because that’s just what people do (and when a couple of black thugs show up, they get thrown out of the airlock — crime problem solved forever).

Although it’s easy to misread “The Dispossessed” as singing the praises of a particular style of anarchic communism, Le Guin avoids Heinlein’s stilted political prescriptiveness by focusing on people — they get mistreated by the system as often as they get lifted up by it. In the end she makes the explicit point that this is just one possible way of organizing human societies among a nearly infinite set of possibilities. Le Guin’s sci-fi is almost as soft as it gets, and the genre has been so much better for it.

Don't take a pay cut unless you love the work.

In other words, assume the stock will always be worth zero, and then make your decision to work there based on that assumption. Will you be happy doing what they want you to do for the salary they are offering if you know the stock will be worth nothing?

The answer isn't always no. Sometimes you'll get to work with amazing people, or on a really hard problem, or get a lot of responsibility you couldn't get at a big company. All of these intangibles might be worth the pay cut.
Maybe in a long time. But currently it seems drugs are being more socially accepted, see marijuana legalization.
Bitcoin Cash is not Bitcoin. It did not create new Bitcoin. It created another currency called Bitcoin Cash. Not sure what is so hard to understand from this.

Let me break it up to you again:

1. Bitcoin (In it's current form) has a limited supply. If nothing changes, there will be a time when new Bitcoin cannot be mined anymore.

2. Forking Bitcoin does not mean new Bitcoin is created. You are confusing value and supply. Forking creates an alternative currency (which can be called anything you want) that uses the former ledger of Bitcoin to distribute its initial wealth.

3. It is not a guarantee that addresses with lost secrets will be lost forever. Like you said, SHA256 exploits, or maybe quantum computing would be able to recover them.

Interesting idea, but I think there's a variable you're missing, which is the light by which the physical object is illuminated by. The colour temperature and spectral power distribution of the light makes a difference. If you used a custom white balance in your camera you should be able to get the colour temperature close to right (depending on how neutral the camera is), but to calibrate colours you'll need a high quality light source (real daylight is quite good, but varies a lot). At this point, a cheap calibrator is probably easier and far more accurate.
Here in Sweden the cost in the cities is usually around $3-$10 with most around $4. The government is also considering to impose some regulars since the drivers only get a portion of the profits and the average earnings turns out to be smaller than minimum wage.

>I'm not sure why a large operation would throw their profits away to applying glyphosate for, in this context, absolutely no reason.

It's not for no reason, it appears that it can increase yield.

>Do you have a particular business in mind that I may have missed?

Nope, I am doing educated guessing, as I have mentioned a number of times.

>Increase yield at the end of harvest?

Go do some research, the answer is "yes". Extra wheat berries/bulbs/seeds (?) are grown at the end of the season.

>Did your friend's problem just start recently when it was previously not an issue?

She's had issues for a while, but not her whole life. I'd have to ask. But people who are weaker in general would be affected by lower doses of poison than stronger people. I'd consider her a canary for the rest of us.

>Higher yields alone does not necessarily make it worthwhile...

I am not an accountant, so I can't argue for or against this. But if there is no financial incentive, why would this _ever_ be done? Yet, we know it is being done, it's not a "maybe", it's an absolute.

All we are arguing over is how common this practice is. Which is a fact, something you can't debate, we just need the data.

>Also, you didn't answer if your friend's problem was limited to durham wheat or not. You originally suggested that might be the case, but haven't elaborated since. It's fine to look at roundup as a potential reason, but why not discuss all of the potential variables?

I don't know which specific foods (or which specific wheat types) affect her. I will have to ask her.

>As such, it is quite possible for some to slip through.

The post from Bob's Red Mill was clear, some of his suppliers use it. So nothing is "slipping through".

Also, the yield improvements from hermosis were based on a far smaller amounts than I thought possible. But how much added poison is just fine with anyone?

Why is this said in every discussion of high-dpi displays? I've been using high-dpi displays on Windows for longer than Retina was a thing and it's totally fine with only the extremely rare app/dialog not supporting it.

Most apps are built properly and Windows now even supports fringe features like multi-monitor setups with different scaling ratios (a feature I was eagerly awaiting).

It's not perfect and I'll occasionally come across some old utility that was built 10 years ago and renders poorly, but never a commonly used or modern one. The level of inconvenience doesn't even register.

And other times, reviewer is doing that to look detail oriented and responsible. He can do that so everybody sees how great and attentive he is. It is opposite of laziness in such case, but still unfair to reviewee.

It is similar with being petty in code review - sometimes people do it because they think it makes them look like better coders.

As for checking business case, yes sometimes you have to do it. But there is also such a thing as doing it too often and second guessing every requirement that you see during code review. This has tricle down effect on analysts/managers/or even customers (he got pissed after a while of this - true story) who then have to litigate and defend every detail and solve programmers conflicts over insignificant details.

This is a coordination problem, i.e. of the same general class as how to maintain a cartel or avoid a race to the bottom to the cost of producers and benefit of consumers in an oligopolistic market. To summarise; it can’t be done unless the cartel can make and enforce legal contracts divining the market or with more than three market participants. Same reason the bidders for Amazon HQ2 can’t collude; cooperation is really, really hard. You need an enforcement mechanism.
Maybe it's different in US, but over here in UK with everyone I know the ratio I see is a man with an SUV/large powerful sedan, woman with a small city car to get to work and back. Moms in minivans isn't as much of a stereotype because kids just walk to school or take the bus/metro. I suspect it's more common in rural areas but in my experience taking kids to school by car is still not the primary way of getting to school. But obviously that's just my experience, my perspective.

I'd love to see actual data on this , especially power and size of cars grouped by gender.
