I don't believe the "or" part of this statement is right. I think you still need to hold for 1 year after exercise AND two years after the grant for long term to kick in.

If one needs an intro, this video should be watched before watching the press release..
There are two types of people consuming these projections. I'll call them the sportsbook type and the newspaper reader. The sportsbook consumers want to know what the probabilities are for the actual event, when it occurs (election day). The newspaper consumers want to know what is going on currently and the country's political temperature.

538's forecasts, especially far from election day, are for the newspaper consumer. They provide insight into current political dynamics, and a quantitative look at how people view policy, the economy, where current fundraising is at, etc. in a single concise number that can serve as the basis for further discussion and analysis. They however aren't useful for the sportsbook consumer, because they don't account for the practically innumerable "unknown unknowns" that will occur between now and election day (scandals, terrorist attacks, fluctuations in the economy, flubs on the campaign trail, external activist efforts gaining traction). If they did account for all that uncertainty, then the predictions consistently be near 50-50 for the majority of the race, which not only is still uninteresting for the sportsbook types, but also means you no longer are providing value to the newspaper types.

Its important to point out that, over time, the predictions become applicable to both readers. As election day nears, the number of "unknown unknowns" decreases, and a prediction for "what would happen if an election were held today" and "what will happen on election day" converges. So up until the few months and weeks leading up to election day, the predictions should be taken more as commentary, and then perceived as serious indications of what will occur closer to election day.
This really connects for me. I'm a library maintainer, and it's very satisfying to me to know that my team's work leads to visible, measurable improvements in the apps that our users make, even if it's not tangible objects; it's still a bit of a "text on a screen" outcome, but at least I get to write changelings and release notes that detail what we accomplished and why it made things better (usually).

I also suspect this is why so many people I know in the industry (myself included) have hard-physical-object hobbies like baking, brewing, cycling, robotics... we need to fulfill a drive to create.
It becomes an accessibility problem, because the contrast is too low, and not all eyeballs are the same. Low contrast combined with a thin font makes it very difficult to read.
'Sleep Should Be Prescribed': What Those Late Nights Out Could Be Costing You
In his original documentation for Markdown, Gruber acknowledges an number of influences. Mostly common plaintext email conventions of the time, but also Setext, reStructuredText, and more by name.

He did not include reference to org-mode, so he probably did not know of it at the time. (Although maybe Aaron Swartz was familiar with org-mode, and provided cross-pollination?)

Most likely as you mentioned, md and org both evolved independently from similar ancestors

The fact that so many people seem to believe that any businesses would decide to pay their workers above market value, in hopes that some percentage of that would come back in the form of higher sales, speaks to the marketing success of the Ford Motor Company.

Ford had the idea of a new way to manufacture things, and paid what he needed to in order to get workers who could learn this system and deliver value to him and the shareholders. It also helped that his heyday was in the 1920s, when the US economy was strong, which also colors people's memory. He likely also considered that it's sometimes better to overpay a little to assure you have the workers you need, rather than risk delaying a shipment.

It's the same with tech companies like Google, they're paying what they need to pay to attract the talent they want.

Have you driven a motorcycle or a high horsepower car with a stiff clutch in stop and go traffic? I developed leg problems from my Cobra a decade ago. Sitting in traffic was absolutely miserable. Same with bikes, except there you're also covered in sweat the entire time so it's even less pleasant.

My DCT BMW was also annoying in stop and go traffic and I didn't even have to manipulate the gears.

I still find shifting to be fun, I mostly drove my BMW in manual DCT mode (dual clutch). But in traffic? I don't want to go near a manual.
Seriously, it's nice to hear you're concerned about the site guidelines.

The main concern behind my comments is that in the dismissals of Mayer (the original one I replied to and the two of yours) we've had comments that are uncivil and against the guidelines, by (1) likening her to an alleged criminal, (2) ignoring/diminishing her science/engineering qualifications/experience, (3) dismissing the entirety of her career achievements as being due to her being a woman and/or dating the boss, and (4) pinning all blame on her for the failure of Yahoo and indeed dismissing her tenure there as a outright failure.

Fair enough, (4) is worthy of discussion.

Everything else is sexist and/or disrespectful.

As for being personally insulting, I took care to criticise your actions, not you as a person.

These comments you've written are offensive and of poor quality, and I do encourage you to do some soul-searching about what motivates you to make them.

(Edited to clarify that not all civility breaches were in all of the comments upthread).

Amazon had a giant internal wiki that they used for team information, playbooks, design docs, etc. Formatting was kind of ugly, but the barrier to making an edit was super low, and having everything in one searchable place was super useful. From experience, I think any system that requires more than a few minutes to make an edit ends up not being updated and going stale pretty quickly.

One reason I do is to avoid the mileage I put on a vacation car. I could travel 1,500 miles across several states while on a vacation trip. That’s 1-2 months of normal driving that I instead put on rental car for about $150.
Tesla’s price is $35k but your country adds hefty taxes. I was in Germany last year talking about a 5 series rental my coworker upgraded to. I was pretty shocked when they said it was over €100k. I pulled up the same car for about $60k at my local dealer in the states and that price is before bargaining. Pick it up in Munich and you can save 5%.

Companies in the US don’t post prices including taxes in almost all cases.
Ah, I see what you mean: that's referring to users on the customer's side, not Google's. You also can adjust the number & role of users on the fly, so you can create another production support user if somebody else needs to file a ticket urgently.

From what I've seen, the stories about people having trouble tend to be from Android app developers getting blocked from the Play Store, not GCP users.
Because they're very small, very dark, and very distant, compared to visible objects like planets in our solar system, stars in our galaxy, and other galaxies.
This is talking about requirements for resolvers that will be included by default:

Presumably you can still configure your machine to use whichever resolver(s) you want.
It's worth noting that Russia does have the .рф TLD ("RF" for Russian Federation) in addition to .ru.

Considering how ubiquitous Latin keyboards are I'm OK with countries with non-Latin character sets getting a Latin equivalent as it makes those domains much more accessible to a large part of the world.
Big innovations are certainly occasionally profitable. But looking at most of the tech success stories of the past couple of decades, there seems to be a lot more money in incremental improvements and applying existing technology to new business domains.
Before I would mainly get this one where the File > New Window menu item would simply crash the running instance of vscode 1/5th of the time.
The issue comes from network operators wanting to control DNS from being a middleman in the connection, but there is no way to ensure the people acting as middlemen in the connection are authorized to be in the middle or authorized to change those DNS requests.

If a network operator can change DNS, then the ISP, network hops, or a malicious twin AP can as well.

Well, one problem solved, but likely creating (or restoring) others. Their non-dischargable status helps keep rates low(er) and allow folks who'd never qualify for a $100k loan otherwise get a degree.

If we're gonna require a bachelors degree to work at McDonalds, it's probably time to treat undergraduate education like K-12; as an entirely publicly funded endeavour.
> I dont understand why they are doing this.

They want people to fear the desktop since they have no control over it nor way to monetize it and move them to the web where the only way to monetize software is through ads and subscriptions and they provide solutions for both (as well as the hosting/infrastructure for implementing those applications).

Estimated tax has to be filed by anyone with non withheld income. This is readily available knowledge on the irs website. Its not your money once uncle Sam taxes it. It is the irs's money the moment you earn it. Out of courtesy, they loan it to you for a quarter but it is certainly not 'your money'. We shouldnt brag about not paying the same tax everyone else pays.

If this makes you mad, perhaps you'd be interested in lobbying for lower taxes
Not really, that's just the level of detail available.
And/or a way to "offer more value" without the extra cost.

Same reason you get more trade-in credit for a giftcard then cash, hosting is "virtually" free, and kindles only cost production + shipping cost.

Not defending them, this is a useless offer, just offering another reason they'd have.
People can repeat that the shoal is nearer the Philippines and I can repeat that, using the same examples I already have and others, it is quite irrelevant.

The borders in the area where decided by Westerners, China was shortchanged and is now using the Western approach: Land, claim, defend.

The reality on the ground is that China (and that really does include both the PRC and Taiwan) claims this area and that it physically occupies it. Unless the Philippines and others propose to start a war the area is therefore de facto Chinese.
Amazon is a generic commonly used word? What are some generic examples of things commonly referred to as amazon?
I think the idea is that you use the superchargers as part of a meal stop that you would make with an ordinary car anyway. If you stop every X km with a regular car for breaks, and Tesla's network ensures you can always find a supercharger in these steps, you can stop, eat / refresh yourself and by the time you're done your car will be ready to make the next leg.
Well my experience above was with Costco optical and Kirkland branded frames, a Luxottica brand frame through a small independent optician, and Warby Parker. Maybe they were just blowing smoke to drive sales of new frames? I dunno. The one time I did get new lenses, they didn’t fit quite right and always looked a little “off”.
In a residential building with no central authority on how AP are distributed, it seems to be a impossible task. I don't see myself explaining this kind of technical stuff to my neighbors and going door by door configuring each of their AP.

But this is a very good reminder for people who set up wireless network at events, schools, ...

My school had huge thick concrete wall that basically killed any Wi-Fi signal. But for some reason, instead of having more cheap AP distributed more evenly, the guys handling it insisted on putting 1-2 big expensive AP in each building, which meant that the Wi-Fi was unusable in most of the classroom. Not really cleaver when most of your classes require you to be connected to the internet.

I wonder why each of the three major BSDs ended up with their own hypervisor implementation instead of sharing their code. There is now bhyve on FreeBSD, vmm on OpenBSD and now also NVMM on NetBSD. Is this kind of diversity a good thing?
Interestingly, the non-BSD illumos has imported FreeBSD's bhyve (and their bootloader). I assumed that these smaller OS-communities would be more inclined to share the work among each other but for some reason this did not happen with their home-grown hypervisors.
You can change your withholding at any time by filing a w 9 with your employer. Certainly for life events like a child, this is possible.

How about this?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A220

Bombardier made a "clean sheet" plane (composite materials, geared turbofan, fly-by-wire, ...) that competes with the 1967-era 737. This plane would be cheaper to operate over the long term than the 737, be much quieter around the airport, use less fuel, generate less pollution, etc. Boeing offered a 70% discount to airlines to stay with the obsolete 737.

Long term passengers will suffer on a less comfortable plane and pay for increased operating costs with higher ticket prices.

In the end the plane got bought by Airbus because Airbus has the marketing power to not get bullied by Boeing.
Why? Do they have to buy electric cars in Switzerland (aka: gasoline cars are banned)? Or maybe everyone just have that extra money to blow? Or maybe they get large incentives from the Government? In the US it would take something like 15 years to pay for the difference between a Honda Civic and a Tesla Model-3 (both cars are about the same size)
ISO 3166 is the standard though, I'm not sure why the consistency of the standard matters as you will need to consistently refer to the standard in order to reliably determine any country's 2 letter code.
A big problem is that it's so difficult (and expensive) to get a code signing certificate that's valid under Windows that many developers just don't bother:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/da...

Here's hoping that something like LetsEncrypt comes along for code signing or EV certificates, or that Microsoft makes the process easier somehow.
Very interesting work.

One unintended side effect of this is that tracking becomes incredibly precise.

Well, to be fair wifi tracking was already fairly precise but soon cellular tracking will have similar granularity:

The binary they (microsoft) provide is under a different, proprietary license and contains code that we cannot see that is not open source. When pressed on the issue, they say it is for "patent concerns" which is laughable for obvious reasons. The deeper you dig on this, the sketchier Microsoft's stance seems.

There were a lot of pissed off people on their github about a year ago basically demanding that they fix this discrepancy, but they did not bow to the pressure whereas in other cases (i.e. being urged by the OSS community to rename GVFS) they do bow to such pressure, which raises the question why is this so important to them when the entire point of vscode is to have good PR in the OSS and developer communities.

Long story short, whatever they are putting in that binary that isn't in the OSS version, they really, really don't want to take out. But I bet at the end of the day it's for some boring beuracratic reason rather than something sinister.
Not to my knowledge, no. I don't even think that you could do that with the most basic checksum algorithm.

The addition of the . at the end has indeterminable effects on the resulting hash. Unless the protocol is defined such that the blob is hashed in blocks of known size and that's what's being checked against (as opposed to the full-blob hash), I don't think it's solvable.

Someone with more street cred on this matter, please correct me if I'm wrong!

The issue of poverty worldwide is more related to distribution/ownership, and not caused by a lack of food. I think if these robots were owned collectively, it would benefit people. But that's not what's happening - like any other technology, these robots will probably be owned by a handful of people.
That says why it isn't .su, not why it is .fi. They could have come up with some other two letter code based on their name in their native tongue, just like all the US states beginning with "Mi" that aren't Michigan.

If you want to learn the function y = f(x), but present x and y as encrypted data x' and y', the problem becomes finding g such that g(x') = y' = encrypt(y) = encrypt(f(x)) = encrypt(f(decrypt(x'))), so the model doesn't just have to learn f, it also has to solve for the decryption and encryption routines.
Companies should either:

- award RSUs that have a liquidity event as the final vesting requirement and don’t expire (so you are not taxed until you can sell, and don’t risk losing what you already earned), or

- pay annual cash bonuses that are “grossed up” so that the after-tax amount of the bonus is enough to cover the taxes levied against the employee’s value of actual stock or vested RSUs, etc., and ensure the company bears that tax burden.

I’d be more forgiving to fully bootstrapped companies, which are often fairer to employees anyway.

Not willing to compromise at all for VC-backed companies, period. They also should be paying full market wages and the equity portion is solely meant to be competitive with the equity compensation or bonuses at public companies.
Because that sort of target is based on the context the ad is appearing in, not on any data gathered about you specifically.
I think Marx talks about this. The problem in his view was mostly the assembly line disassociating your work from the end product. He valued individual tradesmen perfecting a craft and moving any repetitive work to machines.

But I don't think it's quite right. Take a look at the joy in mission control when they achieve their goal. No one is responsible for physically making any part of that rover, shuttle, etc. but the joy of accomplishment is still real.

I'd imagine the joy of launching a highly successful digital product is just as real.

I think the disassociating comes from not feeling like you played a part in the product. I think authority over a product's idea/vision is just as satisfying as authority over it's physical shape.
You will wait forever dude. Don't take advice from someone who won the lottery. Try taking action if you can and put yourself in areas (or companies) where the chance to encounter good ideas and possibly build upon them yourself is greater. It is incrediblely different to work with motivated people who love what they do vs folks who just clock in and clock out.

I figured since you'd never experienced it, I'd try to explain what it's like to you. For reasons I don't exactly understand, you keep trying to tell me what it's like instead! To compare it to a hallucination is a bad analogy, to compare it to an imaginary friend is an even worse one.

You have abstract thoughts, they just seem to lack a conscious visual component, but that's all the "mind's eye" is, thoughts. There's a distinct difference between your thinking and your physical experience.
