I bet it's much less than 12.5% now (since 2016). Also, individual user revenue is revenue that public investors value less than revenue from businesses, because there is perceived to be a much bigger overall market (and therefore more future potential growth) in selling to businesses rather than individuals. And growth is what matters for the stock price.

Anker has been fine in terms of quality in my opinion, never had an issue with any of their products. Although i must say there are better on the market. especially in terms of powerbanks.
> Electric cars are working pretty well

They could work better, be cheaper, be safer, charge faster, have better range, and have longer cycle life for the battery, don't you think?

Better batteries are needed. Solid-state batteries have the potential to outperform conventional batteries. We'll see who commercializes them first.

ICE cars are still more practical than EVs today. ICE cars are cheaper to buy with better range and faster refuelling. If I want the most car for the least dollars then I'm buying a sensible Toyota, not a Tesla.

We're at the beginning of the end of the ICE car. EVs with fast charging, energy dense, highly durable solid-state batteries represent the genuine end of ICE cars.

Side by side if I knew nothing about either I'd be hard pressed to tell which was the 800 quid phone and which was the 200 quid phone.

Throw in AndroidOne and recent Android and the experience is largely similar, I mean sure the processor in hers would murder mine in a benchmark but in real world use do I ever care about it, they feel equally fast on a human time scale (and I have a better adblocker).

There was a time that putting an iphone next to a 200 quid phone would have been a laughable comparison not so much anymore.
And really, only a) offers a meaningful shot at “getting rich”. A late stage growth company is not going to 100X its equity value in 5 years. No rank and file employees are getting f-you money there.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned after two decades in the industry it’s if you care about earning good money, you can either 1) gamble on the 0.01% chance that you picked the right startup or 2) get on to the Senior Executive track as early as possible. Then it doesn’t matter what company you join because they all pay their executives f-you money.

Hi! I work at GitHub.

Private repositories on free accounts are limited to three collaborators per repository, not including the owner.

So, in your example, if you have 10 private repos, you can have 30 collaborators, without counting you - the owner. (3 collaborators * 10 repos)

France, like the US, has ample experience with operating power reactors but retains little institutional knowledge of how to build them. It also appears that early cost-and-schedule claims about building the French EPR and American AP1000 designs were extremely optimistic. These reactors are finished years late even when built in China, which currently has the world's most active nuclear construction program.

State the problem (and convince the audience it matters) before rushing to present a solution.

Exactly. A presentation that is about a "what" or "how" often should start with the "why". The audience needs to care about what is being presented, and often the best way to do that is to remind them why they should care.

I use BitBucket for my solo private repositories specifically because it was free. They are a trivial load to the provider in both storage and transactions.

Repositories which I make public I put on GitHub since that seems to be where people will find them and are more likely to contribute.

Had this policy been in place when I started using git I never would have found and used Bitbucket, but I don't feel anything is gained by moving my private BitBuckets to GitHub.

Update: I see another reply talking about the web interfaces. If I used them that might be a factor, but for my private stuff the only web functions I use are for creating the repositories, and both platforms get that done easily enough.
There's no other option, though. If you aren't integrated into the distros' builds, then you have no way of getting your binary updated when a dependency makes an ABI-incompatible change -- much less shipping a single binary that works across all distros. The only reasonable option is to determine a subset of your dependencies which offer long-term stable ABIs, dynamically link those, statically link the rest, and hope for the best.
Nvidia is sticking to the strategy of releasing the same GPU with RTX bolted on under a lower number and charging the same price for it... 2060 ($350) is very close to 1070 ($300), 2070 to 1080, 2080 ($800) to 1080 ti ($750). Edit: not the same same obviusly, but very similar in terms of benchmarks.

Doesn't seem like progress to me. With RTX being underpowered on current gen cards there's no real benefit in being an early adopter by buying this generation of graphics cards if you at all count the money you spend. Just find a used 1080 Ti, I say.

I think, Nvidia tries to pull an Apple and move the "premium" price tier up 500 points while curiously nobody in the press is calling them out on it.

That is not true. You keep whatever you vest (i.e. typically stay at a company at least 1 year). That is the same for stock options.

Typically companies that offer RSUs have achieved scale (your Ubers and Stripes of the world), so yes the upside is lower, but the "pros" are that it's more obvious to you what the value of the grants are and you don't have any cost to exercise them like with options. These companies know that because they are less liquid vs public cos that candidates are right to discount them, which is why they usually offer more than what you'd otherwise receive from a Google or FB.

>Is a store allowed to refuse service to customers because of their skin color?

In the US, no. Title III of the 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination based on race (among other things).

>Are tech companies allowed ban users because they disagree with their politics?

Yes. Political ideology is not a protected class the US. The government can't tell you what you can and can't say, but private businesses are completely free to moderate content hosted on their platforms.

But again, if you don't like the rules of Facebook/GoDaddy/Twitter/etc, of these private non-governmental for-profit businesses, you're free to start your own. You're making it sound like a global conspiracy when in reality it's more likely that Daily Stormer's talk of white supremacy and genocide is so distasteful across the board that major tech companies independently and simultaneously decided that these people were not welcome.
I don’t share your view of this.

First off, you can disregard any statements made by Leave campaigners during the referendum campaign. The same people who are now advocating a “cut all ties” approach were the ones who were saying things like “nobody is talking about leaving the single market”. Looking for ideological consistency is a dead end.

Second, the UK and campaigners should have been well aware of what would be required if the UK wished to retain single-market membership. Those are foundational principles of the EU. There’s no ambiguity there. Anybody who advocated a position that wasn’t reconcilable with those principles was either ignorant or lying.

Third, you are deliberately misrepresenting the nature and state of the EU and it’s negotiating position. There are a clear number of different forms the UK’s relationship with the EU could take. The UK could end up in an EEA-style relationship, being single market participants but with more freedom in some areas. Or the UK could have a more distant relationship and remain within the European customs union. Or a border could have been instituted in the Irish Sea. Or a generally more distant relationship could have been negotiated in good faith. These scenarios were obvious and known, made clear by the EU, and it’s a monumental failure of governance that the UK failed to understand their negotiating position.

The EU has little incentive to change its underlying principles to reflect the demands of the UK, and expecting them to do so is obviously fantasy mismanagement.

I’ll tell you what the actual problem is - Brexit is a project with no real shape or form, into which people can pour their own fantasies. It is totally legitimate for a country to decide it no longer wishes to be a member, but to disentangle a close relationship like that requires clarity about what you want to achieve and why you want to do it, as well as honesty about what is possible and what it will cost. Honesty and clarity are both in short supply.
Fair point. I've only been to a few BitBucket repos in the past year or two and I never really enjoyed the experience.
This will be my last comment on this thread as you've repeatedly failed to keep it topical, but I'm loathe to stop commenting and let your points appear persuasive by default. (the trap of the internet)

The issue is not that I trust the government, it's that I trust companies less. Governments have done a lot of bad things, and have done a lot of deception, but ultimately I trust their model of accountability more than I do companies. I'm not against being persuaded...but I don't see a lot of (any?) real world examples of this free-market utopia you describe, nor signs that it would come about. Instead, whenever govt reduces regulation too far, companies form monopolies, perform deceptive trade practices, and break the fundamental concepts of capitalism. That govt can over-regulate does not mean that (1) it must, nor (2) that it is.

All of which is irrelevant (again) to this article, which is stating that people are unhappy with the results. They aren't demanding tax cuts, they want the results. The primary obstacle to results in recent decades has not been the govt being bad at it's job, but people demanding the govt stop doing these things and cutting their funding to do so, then complaining about the govt's inability to fix things. These are the same people demanding bigger military funding and focus on oil, so the govt seems to be doing a decent job of doing what it's asked...it's just not what I and many others are asking for.

But public company RSUs are as good as cash because you usually can sell them the day they vest. Rule of thumb I think is to favor options from private companies and RSUs from public companies.

> the only other gecko product, FirefoxOS.

Thunderbird still has more users than FirefoxOS ever did.

At a technological failure, the more-or-less passive decision to abandon any embedding story for Gecko is probably Mozilla's single biggest fault. (I say more-or-less passive because the transition to Gecko 2.0 necessitated adjusting embedding hooks, and the original intent was that it would be temporary until a new embedding story could be worked out. The direct embedding was then abandoned in favor XULRunner, itself abandoned in favor of webapprt, itself abandoned in favor of... nothing, so far as I know).
Very nice points here. I've always been struck at how the JavaScript community never really adopted the Rails ideas of convention over configuration and optimizing for developer happiness. While it's easy to roll one's eyes at the marketing lingo, these principles do truly make Rails a charm to use. Right now, even setting up the most simple Webpack-Babel-Node config requires writing a whole lot of config and set up for very little gain.

Generally my experience with Anker in the past 5 years has been solid products. Then again I don't buy their cheapest stuff and they are being compared to some truly garbage competitors. I have like 5 of their charging hubs, 3 of their batteries, and one of their car chargers and I've never had a problem with any of them.

Every time I buy non-Anker USB charging stuff I end up regretting it. Although I have had problems with their USB cables, the micro-USB ends always get loose after a year or so. But this is kind of a microUSB thing anyways.

Either your explanation is unclear, or you do not understand RSUs.

> RSUs [...] evaporate if you leave or are fired from the company. You can not purchase them like stock options.

RSUs do not evaporate. Vested RSUs are yours outright. You cannot purchase them because they are already "purchased".

> So you have to stick around until the company becomes public.

In both cases, the RSU or the stock underlying an option, it is equally worthless until there is a liquidity event.

> Oh they also expire in five years

Companies don't even offer RSUs until they are close to being public. Once you reach a certain threshold of stockholders, you have to report financials. Since this is typically undesirable for private companies, they don't want to jump the gun on issuing RSUs instead of options. If the 5 years does pass without IPO, companies re-issue new grants. (Please: name one company that has actually expired RSUs and what happened)

OTOH most stock option grants expire in 90 days upon termination. This is a real expiry, and actual money out of your pocket (and tax liability) to exercies them, and usually a difficult decision. There are some places doing 10-year expiry but those are still the exception.

> The odds of stock options working out is low, but for RSU's they are much, much lower.

It's the opposite. For a private company, RSUs are much much closer to money in the bank than are options.
> My suspicion is that GTX 11x0 cards (1160, 1150) are not yet showing, because Nvidia hasn't figured out a way to show a performance per watt improvement yet.

My guess is slightly different - they know that the RTX technology isn't really there yet, and models that were just faster version of the current generation would probably kill any RTX sales.

Putting RTX on a 2060 is odd to me. The 2080 can't really run ray tracing at usable performance levels, I don't even want to know what it would look like on a 2060. There might be some more rounds of improvements coming to software, but are those enough to make it playable two tiers down?
