What you saying is one side of speculation/explanation. The article particularly mentions that when babies are in the womb, they feel content and that's what the smiling is, but we don't know if it is for sure. (i.e. it can be just a reflex, or actual display of being "content").

Smiling, however, cannot be interpreted as preparation for birth but may be a reflex, Prof Campbell said.

He added: "What's behind the smile, of course, I can't say, but the corners turn up and the cheeks bulge ... I think it must be some indication of contentment in a stress-free environment."

in any way, so socialization is a big part of it. We know most humans are born with the ability of speech, but if they are not taught/socialized at early age, then they will never be able to speak later (apart from uttering primitive sounds), but they still can utter sounds.

It could be the same with smiling. All humans are born with the ability of a 'primitive smile' which can be further developed and refined socially, but ability is innate.

The studies that mention that all smiling is socialized is yet another wave of bunk science that tries to attribute "socializing" and indoctrination to every human behavior, where there are clear indication that it is not true.

The at least theoretical problem I face is that there are potentially conflicting laws. Sure, that's why courts exist, but courts are expensive. That's why patent trolls try for "settlements" of less than $50k - it's cheaper than defending a case.

Theoretical case: 5-doctor pediatric practice running an on-site EMR. Backups include fairly short-duration full images for ease and speed of disaster recovery, plus longer-term file and database backups such that basically no scanned document or received fax will ever be lost from the backups and end-of-month database backups will be retained indefinitely. Beyond a year or two it will be possible for incremental changes to be lost if multiple changes happen within a single month.

The practice is required by US law to retain some of that data for years (7, 10, until age 18, 7 years after 18, whatever) or indefinitely (e.g. vaccination records) even if/when the patient leaves the practice. With paper charts that meant that inactive charts went into long-term storage, then eventually were shredded after the expiration of that time period. I'm not sure how vaccination records were kept, but I suspect there were either copies both in the chart and in a separate vaccination-only list or that they were pulled from the charts either before storage or before shredding. There were no backups.

With EMRs, there's no good way to pull a single "chart" out of those backups. There are also not separate systems for tracking things depending on how long they have to be retained. In the case of a pediatrician's office then the answer to "how long do you keep the records" is "until the practice closes, and at that point they must be passed along to another practice."

As for the case of destroying invoices, it's not that simple. The "invoice" would be the bill sent to the insurance company or patient including diagnostic and procedure codes, but the insurance companies may come back even years later for "chart review" on charges they've paid and in that case they're not looking for the codes they're looking for the supporting documentation in the patient chart.

Finally, regarding "enterprising" attorneys wasn't there a whole situation some years back where third party attorneys in Germany were going after alleged copyright infringers "on behalf of" companies that had never heard of them? My Google-fu failed me on this, but I didn't spend a huge amount of time looking. Is there a comparable risk here? I'm not worried about someone actually getting hit with a 10 million Euro fine, I'm more worried about that annoyance-factor "Remove my client's data from the data that you are required by law to keep, come to Europe to defend your failure to do so, or pay my client to abandon this action."

This post is disingenuous. What percentage of hedge fund managers would beat an index fund? What percentage of people have access to said hedge funds?

And even if you can beat the market, how much time, money and energy are you going to use to beat it? Taking into account the margins by which you may beat it by, is it worth it? Probably not for a single individual even thinking about this question.

Common now.
Your comments in this thread are fascinating and I'd love to hear your take on something. In the upper middle class, largely liberal society that I'm part of, I sometimes get an uncomfortable feeling from how people talk about racism. They believe in racial equality and tolerance, which is great. But something uglier seems mixed in too. To me it feels like a class prejudice that wants to see the poor as beneath them, and racism is the perfect ground to stake that claim on because it's so objectively vicious. So on the one hand there's a sincere wish to be tolerant and accepting, but on the other hand there's this dark side: we want to see the poor as bad (racist), because if they're bad then we're good, they deserve to be poor and we deserve to be rich. Upper classes have always seen themselves as more virtuous in this way. They just define their virtue differently now. The new definition is arguably better because racism really is bad, but it's also convenient, and since there's not much wish to look at other things that are also bad, it doesn't seem to me to come out of a true feeling for equality. It is more like a reshuffling of the social pecking order (not the top layers, of course, just the bottom ones). When I hear people talk about uncouth racists, it's easy to imagine that in past times they would have been talking about how bad the poor smell and how crude their manners were. It feels like the distinction is still on that level, only the language has shifted. I'm sensitive to this because I grew up poor, and when I hear the unempathetic and even brutal way that many seemingly nice people talk about their inferiors, I shrink away internally. It's easy to imagine that they're talking about me too, even though I belong to their class now.
> No, hang on, I get what the OP says and it's a reasonalbe assumption.

It's definitely an assumption, which is a problem to begin with, and it's not a reasonable one. Interviewers often go through training to avoid pre-judging candidates, and candidates would be wise to do the same.

An interview candidate gets to talk to a couple of recruiters and have at most 2 conversations with 3-6 engineers at most. I would be pretty suspicious if any of those conversations were about the interviewer in any significant way to begin with, let alone about what they drive, where they're going on vacation, or what they make.

So I get what you're saying, and there's certainly people like that anywhere that pays their people exceptionally well, but making assumptions about the character of your future-coworkers before you've actually gotten to know them is a recipe for a bad time.

Thank you again for your really insightful comment and answer. This is the sort of stuff that should be front and centre in "Building A Startup 101". Co-Founder relationships often get pushed to the bottom of the list, when it should be a major factor in deciding if a business will be viable and healthy moving forward.

That's exactly right. You might be able to beat the market if you put a lot of time into your stock picking research, but can you beat the market and pay yourself more than minimum wage for your time? Almost certainly not.

And unfortunately, doing it as a hobby for the fun of it, isn't a workable compromise, precisely b/c beating the market requires so much work.
I see your point, but I've worked with systems which have quotas like "one read per minute" or "one network request per second". They exist, their quotas are set based on real limits, and we need to be honest about overload on our shared common resources.

Most index return comes from a few stocks that generate extreme returns. By picking a single or a few companies, you're likely to miss out on those outsized returns. Buy the whole market and you can't miss.

(Sidenote: clearly, VCs have done the same or very similar calculus with startups.)
s/investors/board... it doesn't really matter. It still doesn't make your approach any more valid.

Note that the original post is from a VC, and the context of this thread is a discussion of someone talking to a board member without the knowledge of the founders. Also note that the article itself mentioned specific contexts in which this should be done:

"The team underneath the founders should feel like they have the right, and the responsibility, to talk to the Board and investor group when founder dysfunction gets really bad. In general the idea of the team going around the leaders to the Board is a big “no no” in startup land, but there are a few places where that needs to happen, like outing illegal or dishonest actions, or harassment. Likewise, if the co-founder relationship is so bad that the company is being seriously harmed, the team should feel a responsibility to come to the Board with that information."

This all seems valid to me. It also seems like situations in which it is reasonable to step "into conversations in which you have no context and no skin in the game".

FWIW, I don't drink the VC kool-aid, and I discourage others from doing so unless they have a very specific business context that is appropriate for VCs (most folks don't). That said, I am a fan of people in a wide range of fields to develop their fundamental skills in leadership and management, and I get the sense based on your comments that your fundamentals are lacking.

If you think otherwise, please step out from behind your throwaway and let us know about you and your company. I am sure that your posts here will reap huge benefits in recruiting and retention.
Is it an exception or do we mix racism with classicism? No I don't believe that racism is dead but do believe classicism is worse. Studies show that minorities have a harder time getting jobs, apartments, and are stopped more often by the police.

But studies have also shown that income mobility regardless of race is statistically rare.

I've heard a lot of classist comments from both White people (calling people "red necks" and "trailer trash") and upper income black people ("I don't want to live in a majority Black neighborhood around "them people")
> So you think it’s a good idea for employees to go to the board with a position out of sync with management and bypass the management chain?

The article says very specifically:

"The team underneath the founders should feel like they have the right, and the responsibility, to talk to the Board and investor group when founder dysfunction gets really bad. In general the idea of the team going around the leaders to the Board is a big “no no” in startup land, but there are a few places where that needs to happen, like outing illegal or dishonest actions, or harassment. Likewise, if the co-founder relationship is so bad that the company is being seriously harmed, the team should feel a responsibility to come to the Board with that information."

I stand by this.
Sounds like your consultants were not sold on docker/containers as you already supported them. They wanted to lock you into a managed service so that you keep using them.

If they really cared about containers they would have helped you continue using nomad/consul as thats a fine combination

> "now that they have to bolt it on with runtime type checking."

I think that's definitely in the eye of the beholder. The overwhelming opinion I've heard from those in the community is that they greatly prefer having the option, but wouldn't want it required. And that's exactly what spec provides. The language isn't perfect (and honestly, what language is, for every purpose?) but calling it a failure is quite hyperbolic.

I can’t wait for the obsession with “Blockchain Technology” to final fizzle out for the few realistic non-groundbreaking applications to emerge.

Every “out of touch with tech except when some crazy new dangled “stuff” seems to be printing money” is coming out of the woodwork to get a slice... except they’re the exactly people being fleeced to print this new money.

They don’t understand the the reason adding blockchain to your name gives you a 100% bump in stock isn’t because blockchain technology is revolutionary, it’s because of people just as clueless as they are and just as scared of missing out.

I'm not sure whether the arbitration covered all of the crimes that Levandowski allegedly committed; from the article,

That article describes the arbitration being about poaching/non-compete agreement violations.

If they didn't raise the trade secret theft allegations, are they allowed to come back for another try? Or did they miss their opportunity?

Yeah I initially gathered it was a list of links but was sort of curious if there was meetups / community events / hackathons described somewhere that would be interesting to look at the output of someday! e.g. The Bay Area Lisp group posts videos of talks their members give, the Lisp game jams, and so on are very interesting for someone trying to squeeze in more CL learning... But since others mentioned a Telegram link (and now that I look at it a bit more carefully I see the IRC link right below too) I hope such things will become a reality in the future. :)

I have no idea what the relationship between Brazil and Portugal is like these days but I wonder if it'd be possible to get members/resources/support/tips from SISCOG?

Containers are not OS configuration scripts.. they still need a host to run on. They still need networking managed.. im not sure how you figure that one out.

Chef experts likely deploy your underlying hosts, setup other required services (eg load balancers, state)

while you can provide a generic "container" that will run whatever you want and provide consistent ingress/egress points so the "chef experts" can run it without caring what it is they are running

At RunKit we back code executions not only with Docker (which “freeze dries” the filesystem), but with CRIU, an awesome open source project that “freeze dries” the state of the memory as well.

If you are lucky! Docker makes no guarantees about this. I'm betting most data science dockerfiles start with "RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y -q \ && ... ". How much do you stick in numerous run commands following that? Docker images are not deterministic by default.

Diversification is obviously not the only possible way to make money, but it helps minimize risk, and I think your tone is a little unnecessarily mean

However, you are right that the /r/personalfinance mantra of "S&P index or bust" is not actually good. In particular, as index funds become more popular in aggregate, they become worse investments, because they put continuous "buy pressure" on a select few stocks. Furthermore, the S&P isn't really diversified in that it only contains big cap stocks, afaik has no foreign stocks either (although of course many S&P businesses are global enterprises), and only has low exposure to industries like biotech.

Also /r/pf does a poor job talking about non-stock investments. Sometimes a better investment might be to start your own business, purchase real estate, or bonds. If you have time you can research growth stocks (e.g. pharmaceutical companies undergoing FDA trials) and pick the promising ones. Even learning a skill is often the best investment possible for most people - /r/pf constantly says that you can use about 4% of your wealth as yearly income, so you'd think there would be more people trying to get better jobs, since that makes a $20,000/year raise approx. equivalent to $500,000.

"still working on prototype, no sales or funding yet"

If you want to join as an employee, then they need to pay you a decent salary. Even if a bit lower than market, you could consider if you really like the idea which could totally fail. But do not join as an employee but no salary (it could even be illegal in the United States but I am not sure which country you are in).

If they cannot afford to pay you a salary right now, then you must be a co-founder because they are still in prototyping stage. You need to get a significant chunk of equity (I would argue it should be closer to equal share).

Remember in either case, this product could go nowhere and you could end up with nothing. But if the risk is worth it to you, then make sure you are protecting yourself properly.

I'm not sure if this can really help users protect their data. Tons of personal data is already out there, and companies that want it can buy it fairly readily and cheaply.

It is mostly for corporations; middle-class citizens will also see a reduction in their taxes. Until the market meltdown last week, the new tax plan was widely praised even by very liberal business leaders such as Tim Cook. US corporate taxes were absurdly high and tax reform has been positive in terms of the slew of bonuses offered to employees (not executives), raising of corporate profits, and helping repatriate huge amounts of capital back to the US.
