It could be related to the number of shares you allocated to your corporation when you incorporated. I can't speak more about it, as I'm no expert... but I've heard similar horror stories of Delaware companies... where its critical to pay attention to the number of shares, else you might find yourself screwed.

So like everyone else said.... get a lawyer.

OK so you should not worry about this. Delaware uses Authorized Share Method to calculate franchise tax. With 10 million shares this ends up being a hefty sum. Instead, you could pay using Assumed Par Value Method and your tax will go down to something like $250/year including penalty.

You can select preferred method while paying this tax online. See https://www.cooleygo.com/so-you-owe-thousands-in-delaware-fr... for example.

I recognize that is sort of a semantic argument, but my claim is that people who are actually uninformed or grossly misinformed would vote basically randomly at scale but the kind of people who use the term uninformed voters typically mean 'people who vote for reasons or have priorities that I think are wrong' or 'my nonexistent group of straw-men that I use to cope with election results I don't understand because I'm so deep in my social bubble.'
The announcement is a little misleading — they're announcing two different things, not one:

* Scylla 3.0, which adds secondary indexes and materialized views; and

* OLTP and OLAP features, which are not ready.

I'm struggling to find any clear information on what's implied by OLTP, but from the roadmap [1], it looks like they're just adding Cassandra's LWTs, not ACID transactions. Last I heard, you couldn't build ACID on top of Cassandra/Scylla, since row updates across multiple keys cannot be done atomically. Calling this OLTP seems a little misleading.

So 2015 and 2018 are going to have mutually incompatible features at some point in the future?

If 2015 is the only one that won't be generally feature-frozen, it really should have had a different-looking name.

Edit: That blog post says "We’ll continue to add features to Rust 2018 after its release, just like we continued to add features to Rust after the Rust 1.0 release."

Is it being feature frozen or not? I'm confused.

We are developing an app that allows employers to identify and collect all the good ideas that lie hidden among the depths of day-to-day stress and workloads.

Everybody has great ideas. But you need the right tool to find them and make them heard. Our machine learning algorithms analyse and classify conversations, allowing you gain a quick oversight of your company’s vibe. You will be able to listen to everybody – regardless of rank, position or title. Our smart app filters good ideas and buries bad ones!

Giving your employees the freedom and security to voice their thoughts freely allows you to pluck the the good ideas growing in the garden of knowledge.

Our solution is still very much work in progress, but myself and a partner have begun addressing this issue by developing SpeakFreely (http://speakfreely.hr). Now that we have a working Beta of the app, we would love to hear people’s ideas. You can try the app for free.

Any thoughts? Criticisms?

> How in the fuck is it remotely fair to tax corporations with no employees, no revenue, no investments, no capital, nada, zil, zip!

Having a corporation is a privilege, and many US jurisdictions apply a minimum fee or tax to it (usually, a fee hundred USD annually.)

That's not what you are dealing with, though, which seems likely to be a non-compliance penalty from a state or local taxing authority; you generally do need to file tax paperwork annually, probably both federal and state, for a US-based corporation.

Not sure how Stripe Atlas works, by the actual taxing authority should have sent a very specific documentation of the charges; they should be able to provide you with that documentation if they are set up to accept that on behalf of the corp.
I don't think "monopoly" is best judged by "current market share", but by whether a) it's easy for users to switch, and b) whether having that market share is self-reinforcing in a way that prevents competitors from entering.

The parent's point was that a) is not true for Google as a search engine.

b) doesn't seem to be true either; while money and experience can make you provide better search results, you don't get an advantage just from a high current percentage of searches.

In a trivial sense you can "SilasX has a monopoly on SilasX's labor" or "Joe Schmoe has a monopoly on hot dogs sold at Elm & Main St". That's not the monopoly anyone cares about. What matters is whether it's difficult to bring online the alternatives to employing my labor or buying a hot dog in that vicinity. In that respect, Google's monopoly on search is not the worrisome kind of thing we associate with monopolies.

Tesla using fake MDs at its on-site health clinic
This is really fun to watch. AMD is giving people EXACTLY what they want (again), and intel is having to fight dirty (again).

My point is that an important scientific principle is that claims that are put forward without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. The burden is upon the claimant. (See Russell's Teapot).

Adopting this scientific principle basically undermines all religious thought. Why am I bringing this up? Because it underscores a deep epistemological and methodological differences between religion and science.
Intel wanted to do a number of ambitious things with their 10nm node such as putting contacts over gates and using cobalt for wiring. These were gambles of the sort they had made before but this time the advances just didn't work out. Now they're trying to do a 10nm process without CoG and I hope it works out this time.

Thanks for pointing to the Burlington election, that's a remarkable data set showing the theoretical worst case of IRV actually occurring in real life!

The problem, though, is one of correctness, not complexity -- I would maintain that almost anyone could look at that election summary and understand why the conclusion that was reached was reached. And if they had had a traditional non-instant runoff election, the result would likely have been the same. It's hard to even explain why the outcome was "wrong" because the tabulation of the results is so intuitive.

> I seriously doubt that anyone would get a headache over "if people had given that losing candidate higher scores, they would have won". I don't even see how you can honestly claim that to be anything but completely intuitive to everyone.

The question for the intuition is "how many stars to I give this candidate". What does it mean to give them one more star? One person's four-star vote carries exactly as much weight as four people's one-star vote, which seems incredibly odd. An Amazon product with a hundred one star reviews is intuitively worse than one with 10 five star reviews.
Who said this was a self-help article? The title is what it says. It's an interesting story that people found inspirational / fun to read.

Not sure where your preconception that this must be a self-help article is coming from.

I like pointing people to https://modernballots.com/ for all those "where should we eat lunch?" type questions. People usually seem quite surprised how well the Schulze method generally works.

I implemented the Schulze method in a hobby project once, and the math is a rather simple digraph algorithm, which also gave me a lot of confidence that it's a well thought out voting method.
I've asked this question many times in many different formats and have never gotten a satisfactory response that's grounded in fundamentals.

I think it ultimately comes down to people trusting history to repeat itself.

Semiaccurate actually has some pretty detailed dives into exactly what is going wrong with Intel's 10nm but it's all subscriber only. They've also done some reporting on leadership problems inside Intel that I think make the execution failures more understandable.

There has been a lot of talk (and speculation) in the past regarding Softbank being 1. the avenue for Saudi Investment of their (est.) $Trillion++ as the hedge against oil's future and 2. The apac version of HSBC/DeutscheBank laundering schemes.

Anyone have any speculation on the veracity of these rumors?

Basically, WRT the debt risks that Softbank is taking, it suggests that they don't care about the risks, because they need to launder+invest the monies they can regardless as quickly and with as much volume as possible to legitimize and profit...
Are you aware that "the government" changes every ~5 years and the majority of recent French Presidents and their parliaments have been on different political spectrums? There is no "they". So what Sarkozy's government was doing was radically different than what Hollande tried to do in the first part of his mandate (he rolled back quickly when he saw it's not making anything better), and it's also different than what Macron is doing. At least the last one is actively trying to improve on tons of things, including what you're bitching about - regulations.
Increasing the vector width to 256 bits (assuming no crazy thermal throttling) is a pretty big deal and would get me to move off Intel, unless Intel can figure out 512 bit widths without massive throttling.
The dimensions aren't really a selling point for me at all. Both laptops are thin enough and light enough for me to carry them to and from work comfortably.

Performance is better across the board (6-core i9 vs 4-core i7, 32GB vs 16GB, faster SSD). It has a larger, pressure-sensitive track pad. The display is better.

I have a slight preference for the old keyboard, but I don't dislike the new one. I could take or leave the TouchBar. I was never a big user of the F keys and IntelliJ, where I spend a lot of my time, has good TouchBar support. I like having Touch ID. I'd prefer to have a real escape key, but the button is still in the same place so I haven't had to retrain my fingers to hit it.

USB-C with a Thunderbolt 3 hub is marginally more convenient than a Thunderbolt 2 hub plus a MagSafe power cord. I do miss MagSafe though.

> Yeah I guess I’m just not really invigorated by fears of “difficulty of tabulation” and “bad behavior on edge cases”.

Difficulty in tabulation affects speed of, certainty of, and confidence in results, as well as cost of implementation.

Nope, especially on neglecting pragmatics like tabulation; that's practically a hallmark of voting system enthusiasts.
I've observed that in pursuing the 1% unicorn candidate, many people step in unicorn shit and hire smart people who are bad employees.

My goal is to not hire the bottom 50% of the workforce in a given discipline. IMO, you're better off building teams that make the average+ person more productive.
If you think the S&P consistently returns ~9.7% per year every year, you are mistaken.
'very little risk' - I think standard deviation of return on S&P is something like 15%-20%...I wouldn't define a strategy with a buffer of 2.7% very little risk when the standard deviation is that high...

Meh… the things I'm looking to do require some fancy outboard and don't ask all that much of the host computer. I've been looking at getting a fairly spiffy newer iMac or medium-old Mac Pro to hook the fancy outboard to (things like video production gear that'll take SDI inputs, external hardware x264 encoding, my MOTU 16A multichannel interface).

It's looking very much like all that can be done just as well off the back of this tiny computer that's less than $1000. I was expecting the computer side to have to be more than $2000 to properly handle the fancy outboard. What with the Mini doing certain single-core processing tasks faster than ANY other Mac, and even having some RAM upgradeability (?!?) there is no question that it'd be able to work with the gear I mean.

I don't need my host computer to be a quarter the cost of all the outboard gear that plugs into it. It'll be roughly the same cost as each of the pieces of outboard gear. That doesn't seem too expensive at all.
Wow, you really don't know what you're talking about... Stop reading Ayn Rand, it won't help.
Spying has always seemed like something nations do because they think they’re supposed to, rather than because of actual benefits it produces.

General Michael Flynn was really big on a kind of OSINT approach which devalued the current crop of experts in Washington, before he got railroaded out of the National Security Establishment in 2014-2015 (no comment on his later political antics). Basically he said for any information produced by a spy, you could have found the exact same info in some tiny circulation magazine or journal available for free, if only someone had been there to read it in whatever language to read / report it.

How much meat is acceptable? I could be flexitarian, eating 200g meat 5 days a week, or a meatitarian eating 100g meat every day.

I might have a petrol car, but only use it once a month, or an electric car that I commute in 3 hrs a day.

Everything seems to be presented it terms of doing something 'less' or 'more'. I'm doing those things but I don't really have a good idea if I'm doing my bit, more than my bit or just making myself feel better.

The mini has a 65w tdp cpu, vs the mbp’s 45w cpu. That means more heat to dump from a smaller surface area. I’m not surprised they couldn’t fit a warmer gpu in the thermal profile.
Yes, this was what I meant. I'm not sure what two departments talking would look like, but I do know what people hanging around after a tech talk discussing the subject at hand and brainstorming interesting collaboration ideas looks like.

I'll grant you that the technology Blekko brought to IBM (the crawler) was something that a lot of people who were inside the company were interested in, so there were inbound contacts as well when someone said, "Hey we're doing X and wondering if you can do Y?" And that often lead to a discussion about what crawlers could and couldn't do legally :-) But it also lead to lots of great collaborations on various data sets and projects.

"Companies" are filled with people who talk. The only place I've heard where this is a huge issue (from former and current employees) is Apple where secrecy is pretty rampant. And while every company seems to have some "special" projects that aren't discussed, general conversations seem to be fine.

At IBM there are a lot of really really smart people who have done really cutting edge research which for me, was kind of like being a kid in a candy store :-).
But the interviewee is just a cog in the machine. Maybe it's unreasonable to require these people too are top notch at their game.

Eh, I don't disagree with everything you said, but the essay links to a fascinating article by an anthropologist who spent 18 months with a group of physicists using and developing a modeling system called Fluidity [0] that presents a different picture. The article is thoughtful and well-balanced on the problems associated with what the author calls the "piecemeal" growth of an application as its user/developers add more and more features with insufficient "bureaucratic" regard for software engineering quality control practices.

A lot could be said about it, but in any case, it's certainly not a management layer responsible for the degradation of the system.

Edit: forgot to include the link.

> Compounding the problem of enterprise software is customization.

That's kind of the same-but-opposite of my experience.

When software tries to control how it's going to be used, it fails spectacularly more often than not, ime. The best software that I've used always leans into the problem: They let me access it via a dump. Then I can manipulate it as I need, then upload it back in.

But when those that don't understand the workflow try to tell developers how to design software, it usually ends up in a big mess of workarounds just to get the basic use-case to work correctly.
