The value of whatever stock you hold is likely to become severely diluted upon an acquisition. So unless you are holding like 20%+ of stock it might not be worth that much down the track. If I were in your situation I would get an expert assessment of how much your stock might be worth down the track, i.e. like best case and worst case.
Then you will know whether that is enough money for you to grit your teeth and hang in there.

I presume from details that the company is profitable and will continue to be so.

BTW are the founders assholes to the customers as well? If so, then there could be cancellations coming along.
If customers are by subscription or some annual renewable basis then you will need to monitor the new customers vs the lost customers ratio. It is not unusual for companies to do well initially and then start bleeding customers when poor support and aggressive tactics come into play.

I have lots of Tradfri Ikea products. They are officially designed to work offline.

Otherwise zigbee and z-wave products mostly work completely offline.

Some Xiaomi products (you need to be careful, as not all work offline) work offline and can be connected to local servers.

For shutters I use products by Rademacher. Its yet another base station (by now I have 4...), but they can be connected over http locally.
Right. For every single person, yes.

But there are many people to make an organisation work.

There, experts provide their expertise, managers make calls (hopefully for everyone - that's also part of their job, informed calls).

If the call was wrong, you can question & identify if it is either the manager's judgement that was debatable, or the piece of expertise provided, or both. And then decide what to do: change the methods, change the role, change the teams, move the people.

If you have a single person being the expert and making the calls, all you have is a bus number of 1.

What you're referring to is a 'pure' monopoly, which are relatively rare (but still common enough).

The wider use of definition in economics is a company that dominates a market to the extent that is has control over the market. For example, when suppliers have little actual choice in dealing with the company.

Higher prices are not necessarily a product of a monopoly and are not needed to define one.
Wow that is another level. Now in the event of a crash there are issue related to contamination, and also personal medical information leakage.

Besides crashes, another issue with autonomous vehicles traveling without passengers is going to be hijacking for payload and parts. Maybe not in Switzerland, but in the US there are already people stealing packages right on other people's properties, now they can do the same in the middle of nowhere, plus grab a large drone in the process and resell parts. Capture, cut power, disassemble, deactivate the GPS if it has its own power source, done.
I'll be moving within Germany at some point in the next 12 months, and one of my top considerations will be what broadband options already exist in the area, because of the reasons you mention. If you move to an area with slow/no broadband, you'll be stuck in that situation for years.

GMOs for human consumption are not necessary. Enormous amounts of plant biomass are grown to feed livestock.

GMOs also have an issue of exposing the once very inert system to black swan events, health or environmental issues.

Similar thing happened with pesticides. Before GMOs can be used we should at least test them rigorously for a couple of generations. But yeah, that stuff did not happen with pesticides, cars or anything else that now has huge externalities.

> The fact that it was like that for the last two decades don’t mean that the TB isn’t needed.

That's exactly what it means if you start to think about what laptop interfaces really are. On a form factor that already has one touch surface and plenty of display area -- and where the overwhelming form of interaction that isn't through the keyboard is manipulating on-display objects using the traditional touch surface -- the specific value of adding additional touch surface with additional display is necessarily going to be marginal. Occupying the same space is mildly novel, but it's never going to be the same value-add that bringing touch surface to a mobile device was. There's literally nothing that can be done with it that can't be done without it.

Now, maybe there's some specific marginal utility gains, but notably, you didn't even pick one to put up against living w/o the touchbar, so it appears you can't even make your own argument. Whether you use it every day is no more a point in its favor than the fact that people use/used escape, function, and utility keys every day.

> There are lots of people that believe the lighter weight is worth the unswappable SSD/RAM.

There aren't even lots of people that can reliably distinguish the a difference of 4 ounces between two ~4lb objects by feel. I'd bet there aren't even that many people who know what that weight difference is. Which makes idea that the prospective market actually thought through that and concluded "oh, yeah, this is a fair tradeoff" is pretty tenuous.

If you want a semi-plausible argument, go for the idea that expandability/maintenance isn't something the "target market" thinks about. That's still odd for a pro model, but it's plausible for prosumer/luxury consumers.

Again, none of which you listed.

Stats? Because there's enough anecdotal evidence to suggest it's not entirely fixed.

And the idea that people complaining about the recent features is an audience of people who just hate apple is provably false, as evidenced by the fact that many of those complaining loudest prefer earlier Apple models.
Doesn’t matter, it should and if it doesn’t it’s not your fault. Never blame the user ;)
The reason none of the reviewers are talking about how the CPU performs thermally is that Intel didn't allow them to. See page one of the Anandtech review for instance: https://www.anandtech.com/show/14664/testing-intel-ice-lake-... Not that they could have got terribly meaningful results anyway, since this was a fairly large and thermally unconstrained test system with the fan locked at 100%. (Since the kinds of systems this CPU would be used in are very thermally limited, this means the performance figures may not be terribly representative of the real world either.)

In the photovoltaics market it doesn't count as something ready for production use unless it's scaled up, and intercompatible with other industry standard stuff.

I can take out my Visa card right now, or send a purchase order and get a pallet of twenty, 72-cell 370W panels delivered to my doorstep or loading dock. They're really nice panels made from 156mm mono Si cells.

Their specs are well known, and they confirm to standard dimensions with their aluminum frame (1.99 x 0.99 meters), so I can mount them on a dozen different vendors' aluminum rails or other mounting systems.

I don't need any special weird connectors to wire them up in various possible configurations of series and parallel.

I can buy competing 360 to 370W panels made by ten different companies.

My skepticism of the solar tiles comes from the concept that they're very labor intensive to install, available only as a proprietary solution from one vendor, I've never seen detailed schematics of them showing exactly how they mount and interconnect, etc. If you've ever seen a consumer electronics device that is glued shut at the factory and ifixit gives it a 1 out of 10 repairability score, this is the same thing.

10-15 workers and two weeks? In a normal residential roof pv install, something has gone very wrong if three workers can't get all of the mounting and panels installed and wired in one to two days.

$100,000? I really hope that's a translation error or something, or a misunderstanding on the part of the person who wrote the article. Because I could build a truly ridiculously sized ground mount pv system for $100,000.
The title should read "How are" not "How is" because the subject ("roof tiles") is a plural.

One thing that Intel has that AMD doesn't is graphics integrated into nearly all their chips and virtual GPU for KVM. If AMD can add something similar then Intel will be decimated, especially if AMD really starts to take over laptops. Unfortunately I don't even think Ryzen 3rd gen laptops exist right now.

The problem with stopping people from talking is that they have no choice but to get violent. In my opinion it's the politicians have ignored the public for so long on issues such as immigration which are fueling this.

Checks? France loves checks and use them more than Americans.

No public health care? That isn’t true either. Medicaid and Medicare are public health care.

Another legitimate peculiarity of Americans is the vastly higher disposable income compared to most other countries. Even with all of the “free” stuff, the French have lower wages and far less disposable income than Americans.

IMO providers like cell phone, internet and all should be forced not to cut off service based on speech. Thanks to the same Amendment they have the right to choose who they associate with, and 8Chan has the right to broadcast abhorrent (but legal, at least in USA) views. If we allow them to ban 8chan next they'll move to ban even less controversial views as time goes by.

A middle ground would be to kinda force them not to ban sites based on content that is legal but controversial. If internet providers ban you for your views, do you exist? Internet providers are as essential as electricity these days. Can PSEG cut power to KKK's headquarters? I doubt it and no one would say that PSEG agrees with their views because they provide electricity to them in exchange for money. Freedom from slaves and women voting was controversial at one point...
Public transport is not just metro. It's also trains, trams, busses, etc. Especially trains are good for getting a bit of work done, or whatever. Someone I know commutes from Rotterdam to Amsterdam and uses it as a chance to get through TV shows.

> As have been pointed out by multiple people, kids are perfectly capable of taking public transit themselves.

This is another difference that intersects with other issues in America. In a car, your child is under your control. Moreover, adding to your following point of a child under ten being unaccompanied in public, no American parent would dream of letting their children go out alone and recently, this includes even children in their early teens. Especially in the previous decades, helicopter parenting has reached a new peak in the US, this seems somewhat coincident with a general infantalization of young adults.

A hundred thousand dollars to be a beta tester. Indeed why wouldn't you let form follow function and just get regular panels?
Yes, this is very true. That is how European cities from US cities. In Europe cities are built for pedestrians, in US for cars. All these US suburbs areas with one-store buildings are making transportation ineffective because the US city is often more spread. However, there are some positive things happening, like walkability studies in US cities. Hopefully, that will help in the near future.

Its actually now standard in anti-trust law now that you actually have to show significant consumer harm. Richard Posner writting has this made the standard in Anti-Trust.

In the past it was just politics and any big company could get hit with anti-trust. Presidents routinly used anti-trust to go after their political enemies.

And if you don't use this 'pure' definition you are essentially just saying 'this is a big company'. Every single large company would be a 'monopoly' by those definition.

Lifehacker: Tarek Loubani on 3D-Printing in Gaza
Yes, this is exactly the cause. The pager hammers the disc to read clean pages, because they don't count as swap.

And I agree that a small amount of swap can actually reduce the paging that occurs, if you assume that the amount of RAM required is independent of the amount of RAM available. However, as we all know, stuff grows to fill the available space, and if you do configure swap you just delay the inevitable, not prevent it.

Having said that, having swap available means that when memory pressure occurs, you have a more graceful degradation in service, because the first you know about it is when the kernel starts swapping out an idle process to free memory for the new memory hog that you are interacting with. This slows down your interactive session, but not as much as if you have no swap available - in that case, the system suddenly and drastically reduces in performance because it is trying to swap in your interactive process. The more graceful degradation of having some swap available gives you a chance to realise that you are doing more than your computer can cope with, and stop.

As far as I see it, there are three solutions:

1. Disable overcommit. This tends to not play very nicely with things that allocate loads of virtual memory and not use it, like Java. And if you do have a load of processes that actually use all the memory they allocated, then you can still have the same problem occur. The solution to that one is to get the kernel to say no early, before the system actually runs out of RAM.

2. Get the OOM killer to kill things much earlier, before the system starts throwing away clean pages that are actually being used. On my system with 384GB RAM, I have installed earlyoom, and instructed it to trigger the OOM killer if the free RAM falls below 10% (and remember that stuff you are actually using, but happens to be clean, counts as free RAM). This is the easiest and quickest solution right now. If your main objection to this is that you are inviting the system to kill things that might be important, remember that the kernel already does this, and if you don't like it you should use option 1 above (and really hope that all your software handles malloc failure correctly).

3. Introduce a new system in the kernel to mark pages that are actually being regularly used but are clean as "important", and no longer count as free RAM for the purposes of calculating memory pressure. This could either be as a new madvise (but it would be impractical to get all software developers to start using this), or by marking all binary text by default (which would neglect the large read-only databases that some programs hammer), or by some heuristics. This would then trigger the OOM killer (or the allocator to say no, depending on overcommit) when actual free RAM is low.

That seems to be a different problem.

It seems some of the trouble and cost is with the size (miniaturization, electronic component duplication for each tile...).

Why not simply create larger "tiles", a la sheeted roofs? If aesthetics is the only goal, you can take a bit more hit on efficiency and have different patterns on them that are not necessarily energy-producing (eg. you take a current-tech solar panel and paint and perhaps even sculpt anything on parts of it to make it look better).

Since the efficiency hit is generally pretty big (your roof is unlikely to be inclined and pointed in a way to get the most of sun rays in your area), they need to be much cheaper than traditional panels per unit of coverage to be even cost-comparable.

FWIW, I like this and would gladly install them on my roof. I've actually searched for "solar roof tiles" long before this was announced (didn't come up with anything :)).

But perhaps this project needs a stepping stone to regular-looking tiles first (as I said, larger, sheeting-like solar panels for installation on commercial roofs, if designed in a nice way, perhaps even for residential use).
I sympathize with this argument, but it has several problems: Rights and wrongs are inherently social constructs. The is no (currently) discovered moral potential in the laws of the universe, nor is there a well defined, clearly bounded, definition of life.

I would argue that relativism is in fact the fundamental construct, and that societies only arise in the unstable balances between extremes.

That's not to say that fundamental rights cannot be instrumental in strengthening society, but since they arise from within society, they will need to be updated as society inevitably changes in time.

Can confirm for Switzerland. Primary school was walking with friends for 2-3km, bikes were also allowed for older kids.

Middle and high schools are usually farther away. So public bus it is. In the morning there are extra buses for students, but they just stop at the normal stops of the line.

Keras (a python deep learning library) provides APIs that I find quite elegant:

from keras.layers import Input, Dense
from keras.models import Model

# This returns a tensor
inputs = Input(shape=(784,))

# a layer instance is callable on a tensor, and returns a tensor
x = Dense(64, activation='relu')(inputs)
x = Dense(64, activation='relu')(x)
predictions = Dense(10, activation='softmax')(x)

# This creates a model that includes
# the Input layer and three Dense layers
model = Model(inputs=inputs, outputs=predictions)
model.compile(optimizer='rmsprop',
loss='categorical_crossentropy',
metrics=['accuracy'])
model.fit(data, labels) # starts training
