These are very nice and detailed feature figures, but I do not see that intel has any advantage from them (possibly my reading comprehension is failing here...). Can you cite a source that clearly shows intel is manufacturing and selling something better than the competing fabs?
The USA has created a political currency - each vote in Congress, (both houses) is a visible and countable action. This means it can be monetized, and it has been by bags of cash, trips to foreign shores and by many other ways thought up by creative lobbyists - such as wire transfers to Swiss banks.
This is the unforeseen consequence of allowing the voter to hold his representative accountable to him/her.
Sadly, it has brought the USA the worst of all abuse.

Why not allow the vote to be private? Just give each representative a button and this goes to a simple counter that accumulates the total votes cast. It will be unhackable - a self contained system without connection to any network, and includes a 'vote once' latch to stop voting twice.
We need to remove the representatives from all forms of bribery by this simple demonetization.

Modern furnaces only pull air in from outside to burn, run through the heat exchangers, then it's blown back out - the air that's moved around inside the house is simply recirculated. Where would the air from the pilings be pulled? We would need a huge reservoir of air to prevent carbon monoxide combustion issues.

While I work on what HN lovingly refers to as "Enterprise" applications (very legacy, very slow, very 1970s... and yes, very Oracle - PeopleSoft, Weblogic, Tuxedo, Oracle 12g:), there are parts of IBM that are shockingly agile, and have completely embraced open source both internally and as offerings.

I'm trying this with VSCode and C#. It's quite neat, though no doubt it'd be even better with a dynamic language.

My main issue is when I type a '.', the C# extension gives me an accurate list of members, but TabNine intersperses its own guesses, which are often wrong.

Possible fixes or mitigations (VSCode API permitting):

- After a '.', discard the TabNine completions whose prefix doesn't match one of the C# completions.

- After a '.', discard all one-word TabNine completions.

- Give all TabNine completions a different icon and maybe sort them all at the top or bottom.

I don't think that's as unreasonable as you make it sound. Laws should not be the knee-jerk reaction to every problem; there are many who think they should be effectively be a last-resort measure (when there truly is no other alternative). Obviously, there is large political disagreement on this issue (viz: conservatives vs. liberals, to use American jargon).
Thanks very much for this comment. I'm glad I looked back on my threads page and saw it!

First, I should make clear that I did not set out to write the very best NDA possible. Rather, I set out to write the NDA that I thought companies and their counsel would find the quickest and easiest to approve. In other words, to reflect current practice, which we might both to agree falls well short of optimum.

Alas, my experience from prior projects is that better terms don't provide enough incentive to standardize. Everybody likes their NDA, and the difference between OK and better isn't compelling. But my hope is that if we standardize otherwise, through CT's self-propagating mechanism, that standard can then become a platform for better terms.

Now to your points on employees and confidentiality.

The covenant to sign NDAs with employees is essentially a commitment to best practice. The parties are confirming that NDAs, or more likely CIIAAs, are part of the hiring packets for both sides. Note the exception for professionals under non-contractual confidentiality obligations, like lawyers. That tracks reality, in my experience.

You are correct that absent express language, and without privity, disclosers could end up without direct claims against breaching employees. That's an absolutely fair point, though I'd hasten to add that the company, rather than its employee, is usually the deep pocket, and an injunction to the company is usually what's needed to stop any bleeding.

The terms addressing employer responsibility are in section 4(m) of version 1.1.0:

> (m) Compliance and Oversight.
>
> (i) Receiving Party shall ensure that its Advisers abide by the confidentiality obligations of Receiving Party under this agreement. If Receiving Party is a legal entity, Receiving Party shall also ensure that its Personnel abide by the confidentiality obligations of Receiving Party under this agreement. Breach of Receiving Party obligations by Receiving Party Personnel or Receiving Party Advisers will be deemed breach of this agreement by Receiving Party itself.
>
> (ii) If Receiving Party is a legal entity, Receiving Party shall provide Disclosing Party copies of confidentiality agreements with Personnel who receive Confidential Information on Disclosing Party request.

Again, thank you very much. Writing what you did took time, I know.

I see. However I disagree that they have a moral obligation to do something about it. You're setting up a bit of a false scenario. You said "if you don't believe we are a democracy, then I want to see your plan for turning us into one." That assumes those people all want some sort of change into a democracy and that it would be morally irresponsible for them to want something other than democracy, such as for example the status quo. Also not everyone thinks democracy is the proper end goal.

You're also assuming that because someone does not vote they are also not doing anything they believe will better their situation in regards to the government they live under. They very well may be doing _exactly_ what they think will help improve their governmental situation.

Most mobile developers have no idea how web-centric non-mobile devs are. I've recently started working in a web-centric company, and am the only mobile dev. It's mind boggling, freaking unbelievable how less open minded web developers really are. I had no idea.

I don't know what is the cause of this, but this article is pretty common to the crowd who were trying to convince everyone that Phonegap was a viable solution 5 years ago. All I know is that the web community need to get this kind of hyperbole under control because they're losing credibility.

I've almost reached the point where I don't take anything they say seriously anymore, especially when it comes to platforms that they've never spent a single project developing on.
Depending on how you define a "serious economic downturn". The one thing funds that invest in private companies has it that they can mark-to-model rather than mark-to-market. If it's not a prolonged downturn, private funds can much more easily ride out downturns than funds that invest in public securities and have to actually mark things in a realistic manner. Given the longer lockups of most PE funds, investors are also along for the ride.
> Do you also believe that an ambulance lacks trained medical personnel and equipment compared to a lyft

It depends on the case. The problem is that people has a stereotyped vision of what is an ambulance. One vision that is typically urban and adapted to their country. The truth is that there are at least three types of ambulances and they are very different when in isolated areas or in big cities.

> how common do you think severed fingers are, to think that victims constitute a serious threat to the supply of ambulances on any given day?

Emergencies happen in clusters much more often than you could think.
Another aspect of social signaling is that going to a boot camp signals that you can fit in with a larger organization and eat your meals on schedule, show up on time, etc. This was part of the purpose of public school -- to teach children to do things in a group when the bell rang in order to prepare them for factory work. This was as important or more important than the actual lessons on writing, math, etc.

Tutors are for very wealthy individuals, not corporate employees. People who are used to getting special one-on-one instruction of that sort probably can't actually play well with your organization. They can be assumed to be high maintenance, unable to fit in etc.

So, if you want to write an app yourself and become one of these people who founds something as a solo founder, like the guy who wrote Plenty of Fish, a tutor may get you everything you want out of the experience. But it may fail to teach you some of the social organization you need to know in order to get a standard job.

If you already know all that other stuff, maybe some tutoring will further your goals. But a lot of people need both.

How the information is conveyed teaches you certain things that are important to connecting effectively with others and fitting into an organization of a certain size. Large organizations need that second piece at least as much as they need you to have certain knowledge and skills per se. (And I realize that not all programming jobs are at large corporations, but I'm failing to find a better way to phrase that.)

Right. And I'm saying that political positions don't have to fall on a single line either.

How many axes can you chart a poltician's positions on?

Authoritarian<>Libertarian

Traditional Values <> Social Relational Values

Survival Values<>Self Expression Values

Interventionalist <> isolationist

That's just a few from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_spectrum

Say in the US 2016 election Sanders had run as a 3rd party. He was a liberal populist. He might well have been the second choice of both the Trump and Clinton voters, despite not being positioned between the two. He'd still have been the compromise candidate.
RE: #3, how exactly is this an anti-trust case? Here's a refutation of that notion I found elsewhere (part of the conversation around Google being find by the EU):

> Anti-competitive practices aren’t illegal - it’s called “business”. For that matter, monopolies aren’t illegal (not that Apple even comes close to being considered one). You can even use monopoly power in an anti-competive way and be on solid legal footing. It’s not an anti-trust issue until you either collude or use monopoly power to leverage other company products or services in an anti-competive way (as Google did). That’s 3 criteria that must all be present and Apple is nowhere close on 2 of them.

I remember when I was at RealNetworks a long time ago and Microsoft and Real were competing over the future of multimedia languages (SMIL vs HTML+Time). I was on some of the standardization committees and remember being surprised when some of my colleagues suggested that standardization was used by companies like MS to slow down the innovation process (and catch up to faster starts like RealNetworks had made). I wonder how often open source foundations serve the same purpose, or if these are truly embraced by companies like Facebook? Is there a reason internally Facebook would have fought something like this? Is it all roses?
if 100% of the engineers are operating at say Staff Engineer level, do they all end up with that title? Or does the Staff Engineer title really come down to some sort of percentile in a stack ranking?

If you actually have 100% of engineers operating at the Staff Engineer level, then it is what it is. However, the only case I can think of when that should ever be true is when you can count your developers on one hand. Once you grow any bigger, it's just not an efficient use of your money or the engineers' time to have that much experience concentration (as opposed to talent concentration, since more junior people can be talented too).

The real fear is that one person makes it out of the area and into another part of the world, similar to what happened in Dallas. The more people are infected in that area the more the odds of escape go up. Any place in the world can wind up with an outbreak within a short time. Given the response of the hospital in Dallas, it's very likely most medical facilities would not recognize Ebola before transmission had already occurred.

> Then we give the Irish exactly the same amount they're currently receiving

Please don't take this the wrong way but: There's a whole body of tax-literature and tax-philosophy that renders such a statement naive.

How do you figure e.g., how the current money Ireland makes is linked to the increase or decrease of tax-rates? How is it linked to other factors making Ireland worthwhile to invest? How much was Ireland accumulating on those other factors, because it has been a tech tax haven so long? How much future growth of these factors is taken from Ireland because of your proposed regime? And how do you deal with a decrease in overall EU tech tax income (per country) because of your proposed regime? Would you e.g. go so far as to pay Ireland its current income even if the overall EU tech tax income would be lower? Would you otherwise grow Ireland's pay with an increased overall EU tech tax income, beyond Ireland's current income, and if so what would be Ireland's fair share?

And while those questions can have multiple correct answers, those questions have to be answered in a consistent way, because rule of law. And that consistency alone is often enough a problem, because other countries have other consistencies their taxing has to apply to, again because rule of law. And those laws are usually not just paper, but codifications of hundreds of years of cultural norms and customs.

I would be angry because you used what should be private information to contact me. I would also be angry that you framed this spamming as helping democracy.

I don't know what you tell people but if it turned out the person who spammed me was actually affiliated with one party or another, then I would associate that party with sleazy tactics and be further angered.
