In investment banking, the career path is generally:

Analyst (college graduate - 3 years)
Associate (3 - ~6 years)
Vice President (~6 - 8+)
Executive Director
Managing Director

There are exceptions at every level, but generally speaking, you automatically get promoted to vice president after 6 years if you stick around.

Note that the managing director has many levels. When I worked as an analyst at an investment bank, I reported to a managing director who had 3 other managing directors between him and the CEO of the investment bank (who himself reported to the CEO of the bank as a whole).

A VP at an investment bank may have a few low level analysts reporting to them, but generally it's no where near what you would call an "executive" position, although pay can still be quite high.
> if he's able to show he really thought funding could have been secured but fell through

"Funding secured" and "funding to be secured" are materially different terms. The point of "secured" is it's been bindingly, definitively agreed upon in a way that makes falling through very, very difficult.

His best defense is, absurdly, arguing a seasoned CEO doesn't understand what "funding secured" means. He might be about to inject enough doubt into a jury to avoid criminal charges, but I don't think that will outweigh the preponderance of evidence which is required for a civil judgement.
I am not a lawyer, but GDPR explicitly covers the plugin pipelines - they're "processors". The requirements for processors are basically that you can only use processors that are compliant with GDPR themselves. Any well designed regulation disallows skirting liability by subcontracting out functionality. Is that really unreasonable? It describes pretty clearly how to be a compliant processor, and it's basically saying that you have to have a contract with the "controller" that requires you to fulfill the same responsibilities that the controller would have under GDPR if they were doing the work in house.

Our eventual goal is to replace Gmail for any work/transactional emails. We're taking the approach of doing that one integration at a time, and providing a richer experience.

We do think that there's a world in which both of them are useful though. The problem as we see it right now with Gmail is you may receive a notification about a pull request or whatever, but you can't do anything with it and the data gets stale. Monolist will keep it in sync, and let you approve/merge/comment on it inline so you don't have to switch between 10 apps.

Cyclists really don't belong on the road. It's such an odd collective viewpoint that a vehicle which virtually always travels far below the speed limit should be allowed alongside vehicles that travel at the speed limit. I think this is because we conflate the benefits of cycling and the value of making our public infrastructure amenable to cycling with the opinion that cyclists should share highways with cars. It's simply not safe and no amount of "Share the road" stickers and driver education will compensate for that. Cyclists need their own infrastructure, bike lanes on the highways at a minimum. They don't belong mixed in with cars.
I wonder what that terrible experience was and how it could be so bad. After all I've had bad experiences with apps written in C, C++ and Python but I'd still use these tools when necessary. To write off something as huge as the JVM and its ecosystem because of one bad experience seems iffy.

I think the reality is there are a lot of people for whom hatred of anything Java is a fashion statement, a strange geek form of virtue signalling. Oracle is not significantly different to Microsoft or Apple after all - they are all companies that like money and have sued Android related companies over IP rights to obtain lots more of it. If anything Oracle's moral case is a lot stronger as Java represents a much greater investment than FAT32 or rounded rectangles or the other stuff these firms demanded ridiculous sums for. Yet hackers are just A-OK with praising and promoting VS Code, macOS, Swift, etc.

I don't personally mind. The more people who ignore the Java ecosystem for fashion related reasons, the more my competitors reduce their strength and relevance. If your senior dev friend is off writing code in Elixir and struggling with low performance VMs and tiny library ecosystems, I'll be outpacing them with better VMs, better tools and a huge ecosystem of open source libraries. No problem!

To add to this good explanation, that's also why slander and libel are not protected forms of speech (but they do have high standards of evidence).

You can call a person a million names to their face, but if you publish an article or book saying you think that person's a thief, and that person's life was ruined because nobody would hire them anymore, then yes you're potentially opening yourself up to legal action.
Ah but thats the beauty of liberty, your opinion as a private citizen ought not silence another citizen.

Some more info on the Canal & River Trust:

These waterways are accessible upon payment of a licence fee, ranging from a few pounds to over £1200, for use by boats, canoeists, paddleboarders and other craft. Walkers and cyclists can use the extensive network of 'Public Rights of Way' that run alongside the canals and rivers without payment of a fee, which were previously permissive towpaths.

Do you need a license to just float down the river on an inflatable? Also, if I drop something into the water, is it now property of the trust? What a ridiculous governing body. The UK really loves licensing the shit out of everything.

"Oi, you got a license for that license, mate?"
Thanks for the concise scope analysis. This should be a mandatory subsection on
the first page of future Internet regulations.
Although that is definitely an oversimplification (there are plenty of limitations to freedom of expression), why is your description particularly odd or difficult to understand? If an executive at a public company makes misleading public statements with the intention to cause certain transactions (which may or may not be the case here), that's a pretty clear financial crime with clear victims. I don't see why jail time would be out of the question.

If you just make "outrageous" comments on twitter, why is it weird that "USA culture" wouldn't generally prescribe jail time? I'm from the USA, granted, but that sure seems like a reasonable protection of freedom of expression.

Racist comments are of course a trickier example, but I think it's perfectly reasonable for there to be a legal distinction between (protected) tasteless/offensive/insensitive statements about race/ethnicity and (not protected) statements that defame or incite violence.

That's a huge issue. If he made his misstatements with the intent of hurting short sellers, that's criminal fraud. If he just made a material misstatement, with no intent to harm anyone, it's a civil case.

This is "natural" in a legal context not a biological context. What this generally amounts to meaning is that you met the requirements of being a citizen when you were born. This doesn't specify a method of birth (cesarean or otherwise), but instead that you're either born to existing citizen parents, on us soil, or on otherwise recognized us territory (Puerto Rico, military bases, embassy grounds in a foreign country I think also can count) and I believe I've heard that an exception to this is that you're not being born to diplomats on official foreign government business, because not all countries recognize dual citizenship and forcefully giving the newborn US citizenship could cause diplomatic issues with the other country.

In my view, in Europe there is a bigger pressure to value people/individuals over company/corporate interest and that's seems like the crux of the difference.

I think it’s more about two different definitions of freedom. The U.S. defines it as the freedom to choose, where harmful outcomes are an accident of letting people freely choose. The E.U. sees it more as the freedom to live, where choices that harm quality of life need to be restrained.
But Tesla is not profitable, SpaceX claims to be but the veracity of the claim is untested. They're constantly at risk of collapse (due to bad management), and they don't seem to be self-sustaining - Tesla in particular needs infusions of cash constantly to function, and is essentially on life support. They do make good (or at least novel and fascinating) products, but the cost of doing so is extremely high.

Why does "big" == successful? I'm not saying money is the only thing we should ever optimize for, but I'm skeptical that growth is a viable alternative.

Edit: I've edited the first paragraph substantially because I did not accurately understand SpaceX's profitability vs Tesla's.
The linked post is dated September 16, I think it was the source of a lot of the 'all over the net' you saw yesterday.
And I'm perfectly OK with being allowed to hit physical limits. Unless you're arguing that 100GB of traffic is a physical limit of the network. Or that a software limiting the speed to something decided by management is also a physical limit. I'd love to see someone try to make that case.

As per the links posted above:

> Santa Clara Fire paid Verizon for "unlimited" data but suffered from heavy throttling until the department paid Verizon more.

I'm an engineer so maybe I have a different definition for what an artificial limitation means. If you can pay for it and instantly get it then maybe it was there all along, just artificially limited. Physical limitations don't get removed with when your payment is cleared. And I'm paying for access to a network which has some intrinsic parameters. One of them is the number of towers, not the potential number of towers. I care about the actual physical speed and capacity describing the actual network.

We also seem to have different definitions of what "misleading" means since you obviously believe saying nothing about the limitations or their true nature while selling an untouchable maximum and even a patently false claim of "unlimited" is in line with "not resorting to dictionary definitions and ignoring context and history". Your explanation above is nonsensical. Nothing else gets judged by 1997 standards. VW should get a free pass for pollution in the context of "this was clean in 1997". EVs can claim they have unlimited range. Can't ignore that history. Maybe you also accept to be paid in 1997 dollars so when you charge a customer $80.000 they can just give you $50.000 and call it even. And some day you might even buy a 50TB HDD that will only have 50GB and some lawyer on the internet will tell you that in '97 people were happy with 5GB and you can remove that "physical limitation" with a paid FW upgrade.

The reason "unlimited" takes different meanings in these cases is that some countries are actually lead by lobbyists and when they say "jump" you ask "how high?". Not because you can ever reasonably argue "unlimited" means 20 hours because 1997. The proof? In many civilized countries such claims are illegal.

And I will say it again: actually reading the article would help you make some important distinctions.

Actually, shortly after I learned that Google switched to neural networks for search results, I noticed an old style of spam making a huge comeback: Either markov chain or neural network generated text, taking from related websites (I suspect they look at the top 10 websites for certain valuable terms).

This gibberish actually outranks legit content which refers to my content, sometimes even my own articles, especially when it is turned into a PDF.

Seems like it is easy to block ~250k webpages like:

but I guess Google keeps them there to keep the spammers in the dark? I hope so, else their new ranking signals allow for easier spam.
I want to say that developers and smaller Saas companies might have played a role in this. Smaller businesses are not as big on ensuring everything works across browsers. Most developers use Chrome, so the likelihood of an issue popping up in Chrome is less than other browsers. When an issue does come up with someone using IE and the customer just wants it to work, the easiest solution is to just get them to download Chrome. Many of these customers don't really care what browser they're using and will gladly listen to whatever instructions customer support tells them.

Yeah, this kind of thing is really disappointing, but unfortunately predictable. There's a real chicken/egg situation. Few people will bike until there's safe support for it; until lots of people are biking, all the infrastructure just takes space away from the people using cars.
No, but they might be able to remain big, successful corporations by preventing consumers from buying anything else.

Unfortunately, this only works for relatively recent migrants. Any documents before 1900 or so are hit-or-miss. I have a very, very unique last name (in the US) and the documents on the country of origin for my ancestors vary between Russia, Prussia, Germania, and Poland depending on who filled out the forms. Then there's the issue of misspellings.

I think a heavy hand with China is absolutely needed. Trade and manufacturing from cheap, and some say abusive, labor practices have done nothing to improve human rights for China, but it's done wonders to prop up the current regime. It seems the only thing China will respond to is losing money. Who would've thought communists would've made such great capitalists.

Stocks prices are based off of two things really - current earning and perception of potential earnings in the future.

Tech stocks are infamously based largely on the second more than the first. Many do go reinvestment heavy like Amazon did for years before they started to post more profits.

Given the feedback loop impact things get weirdly circular in potential for success based upon others. Not in a something from nothing sense but in a giving what it takes to succeed sense.
I hear you, and appreciate your honesty. Not many founders talk a lot about the technical challenges of building the app itself. A lot of startup stories I read take this as a given, whereas I'm sure it's one of the biggest factors if not the biggest that causes many startups to fail.

Be careful about assuming too much consistency in the US populace. I'm born-and-raised US, and our attitudes can be very hard to describe. We'll hate "Obamacare" but actually support all the individual parts. We'll complain about govt spending then complain when the govt doesn't function. We'll complain that people don't trust science about global warming but avoid vaccines and expect GMOs to actually mutate us. We'll complain about "participation trophies" but want benefits for seniority without regard to performance. We'll celebrate a rancher facing off against the govt and then rail against someone else "taking the law into their own hands".

Then we'll reverse any of these positions at the drop of a hat. I'm not saying we're RANDOM, I'm saying it can look so. There might be dozens of upcoming responses to this comment, each suggesting a different "simple" solution ("It's about self-interest" "It's about freedom" "it's about personal responsibility") but they will all either fail to reconcile, or give you a simple explanation that is nonetheless hard to extrapolate how the public will respond to a given topic.

My personal opinion is that neither the EU nor the US has an optimal economic outlook, but it may not be possible to have one - it's hard to combine the benefits of rugged individualism with the benefits of communal cohesion. Hard to mix diversity with unity.
