Precisely.

A decent new watch isn't going to have a defect. The parent referred to a theoretical $500 watch. Let's take something like a Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic. Decent watch, very handsome, and usually comes in around $500 (or less).

Hamilton is a Swatch Group company and gets the very, very popular ETA 2824-2 movement. This is the same movement that can be found in watches costing thousands and some times tens of thousands.

The quality and the internal components are the same. More expensive watches sometimes get nicer finishes on the movement and occasionally get a COSC certification, but by and large, there's little difference.

ETA has been making the 2824 since 1961. It is the workhorse of the watch industry. I've literally never heard of a defective one that wasn't a clone.

So, I'll personally guarantee that your $500 ETA 2824 will run for five years without defects at which point it'll probably need servicing, i.e. cleaning and re-lubrication. That's going to cost $200-300 from any Swatch Group authorized service center regardless of whether the watch has a warranty or is grey market.

Anything much cheaper than $500 is either going to be a Miyota or Hattori movement or a clone of a Swiss movement. I'd consider those watches to have a finite life span of a few years. Likely they'll not be worth servicing when the time comes, though there are definitely exceptions.
You have very unusual experiences. Employment contracts are very rare in the US. Offer letters are not contracts. Under certain situations they may be construed as contracts, but most companies go to great lengths to avoid this situation. See https://corporate.findlaw.com/human-resources/offer-letters.... for some guidance on how to avoid writing an offer letter that could be construed as a contract.
I think DP/DR is the opposite... "i.e. I can't control reality at all, or even myself or my choices"

It was an image conversion program that computed designs for various crafts from uploaded photos.
That's kind of cheating though, because you're still de facto raising real estate costs (higher interest rate -> higher mortgage payment on the same loan principal).

Changing other components of real estate costs doesn't destroy the proportionality with prices, it only changes the ratio. The same is true of property tax -- raise the tax rate and sale prices decline while rents increase, because rents are also proportional to every other component of overall housing costs, not just the initial principal amount.

It's like saying retail prices aren't proportional to wholesale prices because if you raise commercial rents then the ratio changes. They're still proportional. If you raise rents then retail prices may increase because the retailer has higher costs. If you then raise wholesale prices, the retail prices don't stay the same just because they've already increased, they increase even more.

This 1000% percent.

The way the law looks at signatures is about the signaling of intent. The way engineers/tech look at signatures is more about trust and identity. There is some overlap of course, but if the agreement to be signed is of any real importance, nobody is going to take the chance that the identity is false or that there were no witnesses or a mis-understanding of what is in the agreement, so signing is done with wet ink.

Sure, but once you stray from blanket rules, it's harder to state categorically that 300 is an imperative to fix, and harder to prevent it occurring.

e.g. a blanket rule that a header file isn't allowed to include another header file is trivial to enforce, one which says it can't be more than n deep, is subject to boundary pushing.

From what I remember the biggest criticism was that they uploaded your code to the cloud, but if you read this, they say that it's now done entirely locally. So honest question, what would the risks be at this point?
tl;dr Kite hired a developer for an Atom plugin and promoted themselves in this plugin. Kite acquired an autocomplete plugin and switched the engine to use their own.

IMO, the devs have the freedom to do whatever they want with the code they maintain. If the users don't like it someone can fork and maintain their own version.

You are misrepresenting the concept of undecidable. If the compiler can say if the program compiles or not, then it is most certainly decidable. What you want to say is that it cannot be determined without full parsing, so no preprocessing is possible.

If it's essentially a growth round labelled as an A you can normally negotiate the vesting schedule, but if you're at a standard Series A point, then it's unlikely you'll be able to change it unless you're a super hot deal.

It'll likely take 7+ years from a Series A to an exit, if a founder leaves straight after funding and keeps all their equity, that's hugely demoralizing to the rest of the founders. They'll have to do the work to generate the value of the business over the next decade and end up with exactly the same rewards as the founder who left. It's the kind of thing that kills businesses.

From an investor perspective, an investor is unlikely to want to invest if the founders aren't committing to stick with the business.

Ah, I get what you are saying. Certainly not a good situation either. I guess the UK is a bit ahead of its time on this front. I still think there is a bit of difference though. In earlier recessions there at least seemed to be some recourse. Certainly harder to e.g. study in the UK I would imagine. But when the market turned you could get a chance.

In Sweden we had had high youth unemployment for 15 years (it's "low" now at 16%), but as people study or get a bit older they get work. Today though, it almost doesn't matter what you do. You either have to take a 100 year mortgage, or pay some significant rent, to live in e.g. Stockholm. And if you don't you are looking at declining job markets. It just seems like getting screwed has become ingrained in the system. Heads they win, tails you lose. Things are going well, you pay a lot. Things go bad, you are paid nothing. Maybe that was always the case and it is just easier to be informed now.

I feel that none of the commentators actually runs a company. If you are a remote worker working from home is great.

> Are you under the impression that government corruption and injustice are things of the past?

Oh, come now.

> Except that we live in a world of deepfakes, astroturfing, and a dozen other reasons not to trust what is posted on the internet by any random person.

And professional journalists are going to be immune to these things? A lot of the time, journalists actually repost what they see on Twitter and YouTube. I suppose that in an ideal world journalists would wise up in the face of deep fakes and trust their various sources a lot less, but caution != profit.

> And building on my comment above, Random Joe isn't going to spend tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars investigating illegal arms sales, contract fraud, or hundreds of other things that big journalism companies do routinely.

I don't agree that you need Big Journalism for that job to be done. Individuals in the press who are outside Big Journalism, as you put it, can do the same job independently and for a fraction of the cost.

> Member-supported radio doesn't cover 1/1000th of what local newspapers do.

Sure, local newspapers have an edge over public radio, but you can also use that same argument against Big Journalism, which despite its resources can't do the same job that local newspapers do.

> I think you may not understand the value of professional journalism, past and present, perhaps because you haven't been exposed to it, or its consequences.

That's not a fair assessment at all.

Javascript is my strongest, and I have enough Python to be comfortable - I had a lot of Perl back in the day but that knowledge is fairly rusty (though Parse::RecDescent was my first exposure to parsers). I did Java for a few years, but I refer to those as my Dark Times and wouldn't want to venture back there. (Experienced Perl dev doing Java is NOT a good time for either the dev or the code)

I can't argue about the broad applicability of compilers, but the main reason I've avoided such tutorials is that I'm looking for something I can get the basics of in hours/days rather than a weeks/months.
As someone who buys and enjoys the Costco Parmiagiano-Reggiano (PR) and who has eaten both it and the green can version in the last couple of weeks, I think it's a shame that people would be misled into thinking the green can version is anything like Parmesan cheese. PR has rich umami flavor that as someone who grew up on the green can kind, I can only feel a bit ripped off by what I was missing all those years.

PDO can be problematic, especially when there is terroir which can only be used by a limited number of companies who are granted the mark. It's still a mark I look for, now that I know better. In many ways it acts the same as trademark, ensuring that the purchaser gets the real article. There's no reason to believe that the best example of a product comes with a PDO, but it is at least a very high minimum standard.

It's also possible that Israel took the laptop because they knew where this person worked as a software engineer. Since processes like these enjoy opacity the outside is left to speculate.
It's also a huge win if you need multiple people to sign a document.

Without a tool like HelloSign you need to email the document to each person one by one to get everyone to sign on the same "paper". It's a mess and takes up a lot of time and coordination.

With HelloSign (and other similar tools), you can just send out an email with a link to everyone at once. They can sign the document asynchronously in whichever order they want, and when everyone has done that, you get a notification.
Right. I'm just saying why not rip it out now? Why bother fuzzing parsers if the parsers themselves aren't really adding value anymore? The ability to edit your configs in a text editor is pretty valuable isn't it?

to me it seems more of an issue with the environment than the individual. if everyone on a regular basis admitted that the answer to a particular problem isn't coming to them right away - we could avoid the wasted months where a new developer or one thats simply new to this organization spends their life flinching in fear of reprisal.
You can do this.

The best way to see signatures, in my IANAL opinion, is as layers of protection. The goal is that the person who signs the agreement has total understanding of what they are signing, and there is a paper trail of intent to abide by the agreement.

To that degree, if the agreement is important and you have a lot on the line if the counterparty decides to re-neg on the agreement, you should probably not do the above. But going in the opposite direction and insisting on notaries and wet ink might go too far in respect to how much effort is required.
My townhouse complex switched from having us hand-sign paper leases to using DocuSign last year, and it's been wonderful.

Being able to just click-sign through a lease that requires almost every other page to be signed is a godsend. My hand genuinely got tired before, and quite frankly, I've lived here over 11 years, and there's not going to be anything in the lease I don't already know, so I don't really give a shit about going slowly through the damn thing.

In my case, it's better for consistency too. My signature is just a random scribble, so at least with DocuSign it'll now look identical on every page whereas it's different every time if I write by hand. The only thing I really care about is my initials, because I insist on writing my initials as a three-way ligature, and DocuSign is great about that, too. DocuSign will let you either pick one of many fonts or let you mouse-draw it, and you can make that decision separately for your signature and your initials. So I just pick one of their stock fonts for my signature and then mouse-draw my initials.
Ok, which ones? Give me examples.
My primary experience is with Intellij, though most of their IDE's behave similarly.

Im not sure what advantage I'd get with kite.

Often I'd start using a class in the code, and then ask intelliJ to import it, rather than going to the top, and use the autocomplete tool. It can do patterns as well, even custom defined ones, with default values (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/using-live-templates.htm...)
Requires a SD card containing an updated bootrom on Pi 2.
Pi 3 has the update bootrom but needs a bit flipped in OTP to enable the feature.

Kite aside, I think both of these things will happen as developers adopt these technologies. We're seeing similar effects with autocorrect on your phone and self driving cars (i.e. there will still be accidents, and they tend to drive more slowly), but on balance these technologies are positive.
> There would be incrementally more proceeds for the founders and employees in an exit that is flat or below the postmoney valuation of the Series A round

I do agree that we need raw data. Sadly, we're not getting enough of it, and part of the cause is the speed of the news cycle; it's far more expedient for someone to write prose than spend the time gathering raw data, making sense of it, and distilling that data into graphs.
This is not different from a situation where C++ compilation has a binary dependency on other modules. The best know situation is a static library (.a file). In this case, the project cannot be built if there is a static library missing. With modules, one cannot compile the project with missing modules, so the build system will have to provide this information.
We send people that link all the time to help them understand option pools. The main point of that post is to make it clear to founders that when an investor is saying they'll invest $X to get 20%, the dilution is more than 20% because of the impact of the pool.

I think if the pool is not part of the premoney, investors just adjust the valuation to compensate.

Just focus on the final output. Take the term sheet and work with your lawyer to model out how much you own after the round is closed. Is that a good deal or not? If you don't like it, there are multiple ways to increase your post-closing ownership. Moving the option pool into the post-money is one of the hardest ways to accomplish that because you are trying to move the investor up on both valuation and convention.
IMHO you're often best off with writing a simple recursive descent parser by hand. For lexing you can often get away with splitting the input string at word boundaries.

For slightly more advanced needs, parser combinator libraries make parsing and lexing quite straightforward. I honestly wouldn't use a parser generator.
