I wonder how that would work. Suppose the UK generates a unicorn with a billion pounds of profit per year. Suppose that unicorn employs 10k employees. Presumably, everyone gets an equal stake in the employee share. So each employee is entitled to

1B pounds * 1/10 * 1/10000 = 10k pounds

of profit. For folks earning the minimum wage at the company, that would be huge, since that profit sharing effectively increases the wage floor. For everyone else, I imagine the company would just pay reduced wages on the order of the amount of profit sharing, since it would not need to pay more to attract the requisite talent.

Of course, that's only if the company offers a dividend. I wonder how buybacks are modeled in this case? Since the employee share isn't marketable, the employee doesn't derive any immediate benefit from a buy-back. I guess you'd have to increase the employee share beyond the 10% limit at that point. In theory, the company could over time buy back all the non-employee shares, then it would be employee-owned in its entirety. And if the company offers more shares? Do the employees get diluted? I guess not. That seems weird too.
Personally, I'm a fan of scripts for this type of work... Node, Python, Perl, etc. That's just me though. I know a lot of people that live and breath SSIS packages and similar.

Redis can be configured as `appendonly yes; appendfsync always`, which the Redis docs say is “very very slow”, but really would just make Redis work the way Postgres does with its WAL, with probably equivalent performance (or still slightly better, since there’s no checkpointing going on.)
My experience with Ada is you have legacy code bases and yes, forking these will continue for the next 30 years for similar products. But would anyone in 2019 really choose Ada for a design start in a DoD/aerospace realtime embedded system or cybersecurity application? I doubt it. It's hard enough to find developers in "common" languages.

I think its very telling that real-world JOVIAL code bases are being converted to C, not Ada. Ada was supposed to replace JOVIAL.
http://www.semdesigns.com/Products/MigrationTools/JOVIAL2C.h...

There are also tools to convert Ada to C/C++/Java:
https://www.mapusoft.com/ada-to-c-changer/

I'd start any new embedded system in C or C++ with an appropriate coding standard, static analysis checks, and perhaps run-time ones. No way I would consider Ada. Maybe someday Rust will penetrate more, but it has a ways to go.
He went from nothing to $600M in 5 years. It isn't "technically" overnight but 5 years is not that long.

And the 7-10 grind was probably only true of year 0-1. RxBar got a lot of traction well before they were sold, and so to believe he was grinding for the entire 5 years in the same way he was in the basement when they first started is a bit naive.

Boeing isn't just saying that they "think" there are illegal subsidies. They're pointing to the WTO's rulings. I guess I could've looked up those particular cases and cited them directly. However, I reckon if they were lying about what the WTO was saying, that wouldn't be difficult for you to find and point to yourself. In fact, we need look no further than the article that started this discussion to verify. Let's look at the actual content of the argument instead of relying on circumstantial ad hominem.
That's incorrect. Essentially all decent paying jobs in the US take care of most or all of the healthcare cost you're referring to. That is especially true for eg software developers who earn six figures at the median.

To balance a proper comparison if you're going to include the EU taxes re healthcare, you would have to inflate US wages even higher to account for the benefit that employees receive (money that otherwise would be available for labor competition in the form of salary), which is often a large sum of money given the cost of US healthcare.

US healthcare per capita is typically 100% (double) more expensive than in Western Europe. It's about 130% more expensive versus Britain. It's 200%+ more expensive versus Italy.

A software developer earning $125,000 - $150,000 per year is receiving a minimum of an additional 10% equivalent of their salary in the form of healthcare coverage. More likely 15-20% these days. The cost to put a small family on a good health plan will easily run you $20,000+ per year.

Not asbestos and haven't been for decades. They actually have something like "contain no asbestos" on the box (or maybe it's on a piece of paper in the box, it's been awhile).
It could have done the same with 1 larger screen. But the DS is a foldable device. It's not a gimmick, it's part of the operation of the device. I use dual screens at work, because they are smaller lower resolution screens. At home I have 1 huge high resolution screen. Not having a physical separation is amazing.
Ford was shipping cars with asbestos brakes in 1993. Asbestos brakes are still readily available on the aftermarket.

Brake pads since 2015 sold in California and Washington must have less than 0.1% asbestos by weight (it's unclear to me if that's asbestos alone, or asbestos and other heavy metals like cadmium or mercury). Since the ban was put into place in 2015, you can reasonably infer a) that there were brake pads above that limit in 2014 and b) there are brake pads slightly under that limit today.

The Zero Fee Reckoning – What $0 trading means for consumer investing startups
I've never been more happy with a desktop environment than when I used i3.

What's Going on with GKE and Anthos?
(DISCLAIMER: I am hoping we can discuss this from a purely intellectual perspective and not bring ideology into it)

I have always postulated that the increase of estrogenic compounds may have some impact on what seems to be an utter surge of reported cases of gender dysphoria amongst others other disorders that typically arise when you mess with hormonal/endocrine systems. Has there been any scientific research done on this topic or is just viewed as an untouchable subject due to fear of backlash (which would be a shame if so)? It's no secret by now that we have been consuming large amounts of estrogenic compounds now in large amounts, whether it is indirectly through plastics and other industrial compounds, hormone-filled meats and dairy, other animal by-products, prescription of hormones, or more directly through the over-prescription and overuse of hormones and other drugs that have a pseudo-hormonal effect on our brains such as steroids (there is even hormones in our drinking water!) I just wonder if we are barking up a tree we have so little understanding of.

As an anecdote, I as a male suffered from gynecomastia. I did a lot of research. I learned what once used to be almost always guaranteed to be denied by insurance because it was considered purely cosmetic, is now so common insurances felt the need to cover it. So the insurance companies seem to have even caught whiff of something being "in the water" so to speak.

I wonder if we will look back in 50 years, just like some of us can point back and say about our grandparents and great grandparents generation and say "oh yeah it was all that lead you were exposed to which caused all those adverse effects (health-wise, personality-wise, and IQ wise)" if we will point back and say "oh yeah it was all those hormones or hormone disruptors you pumped into everything"
For members of the privacy community that oppose efforts like this, we probably should probably be more careful with the phrasing around "your" data. What a lot of us meant was, "data that is generated by actions you take, or that applies to your life." What (increasingly), people interpret it as meaning is "your data" in the same way that you would say, "your boots."

The EU often falls back to referring to this stuff as Personally Identifying Information, which is at least a more logically coherent term -- it focuses more on de-anonymization and the risk to the individual, rather than on this idea that I somehow have a morally granted monopoly over a fact.

I'm trying to be more careful about how I phrase stuff like this in the future (PII, or 'facts about you' instead of 'your data'), to try and make it more obvious that the privacy community isn't monolithic and that there is no singular view even among privacy advocates about what data is or how it can be controlled.
Agree! Will somebody please make this!

I want to simply have a keyboard and screen that "looks like a laptop" but the brains is actually in the phone in my pocket!

And then when I have a proper dock, I just get a larger monitor(s) and larger desktop keyboard.

But the brains are still in the phone!

The key benefit (of the dumb laptop, especially) is I still want a laptop on the go, but..

1. Why manage data flow across two separate devices. My phone becomes truth, always.

2. My phone already has always-on data. Why worry about data for two devices. (To 4/5-g subscriptions, etc.) Searching for wi-fi.

3. Better power consumption for my "dumb laptop" device. (Less processing power in the laptop, hopefully space for a bigger battery)

I would buy this in a heartbeat!
List of defunct social networking websites
I tried to write my comment such that I wasn't making a judgement call on it, just listing it as a recent event that is most likely on the minds of people thinking about this topic.

> It always surprises me to see fairly smart people throw this out there like it's obviously silly.

I don't think it's silly, but I do feel the media's coverage of it was irresponsible / clickbaity. The ADL website itself mentions that most uses are "entirely innocuous and harmless" but CNN's headline was "'OK' is now a hate symbol", which stigmatizes the gesture and feels like cultural vandalism. I understand your point about language usage, but far more people use the gesture in an innocuous way. It's not surpising to me that people would be upset when told it's a hate symobol (when it's not in most cases - documenting that it is in some cases is fine, but generalizing it as a hate symbol is what most people disagree with).
They should probably kick it off this way from the beginning; stay quiet, do it in some 3rd world country, expand slowly from there to the least resistant countries; at some point it would fail or would be too big to stop by big countries
Those comparisons aren't very enlightening if you don't compare the quality of services provided.
Approaching this issue from the perspective of management quality is interesting. I'm curious what metrics/outcomes you are using to make your case. What specific benefits accrue to US corporations due to their advantageous managerial environment?

Is it something along the axes of innovation, efficiency, or profitability?

Keeping in mind that the article we're discussing already frames the discussion as (paraphrasing): US management and boards are great at their job, but are the assumptions behind corporate governance/stakeholding correct?

> The end result will be additional tariffs imposed in both directions, making consumers pay more

Consumers will pay more, roughly in proportion to their consumption of a product that is at once a luxury good and environmentally unfriendly. The money mostly won't be destroyed - it will go to governments who can increase social spending or cut other taxes instead.

Sounds like a very progressive change to the tax regime. Who's complaining about this again?

This wouldn't be a red flag in my mind. You are clearly capable of sticking with a job, but this one just didn't work out. It happens. Move on, and in a few years, this job will barely be a blip in your memory.
Agreed. I also grew up poor and now live comfortably. Having my own place with no roommates (or mentally ill family members screaming at me) brings me a lot of peace. Being able to just uber somewhere when I have an appointment but feel too tired to take public transit for 45 minutes makes my life easier. There are a lot of problems in life that you can make disappear (or simplify a lot) by throwing a little money at them. You can remove a lot of stress factors. Money gives you more freedom to choose what you want your life to be like.

The flipside is that I know very well that, if I'm in an anxious mindset, my brain will find things to worry and be unhappy about. I know being a multi-millionaire wouldn't bring me bliss, but... Being able to work on my own projects, as much as I want, whenever I want. That would be fucking awesome.
Sounds like you’re just a little older than me :-)
Windows multi-display functionality has regressed with packet based display protocols. Turning Display Port monitors off with their power button is a nightmare. All of your windows get squished down to so tiny size and moved over to one monitor. They won't fix it, because they consider it a power user use case that should be solved by leaving everything on or turning the entire computer off. There is an entire after market of hardware hacks built just to trick Windows into thinking the monitor is still connected.

You need to control to know if the new treatment works, generally.

That's my dispute. We know X will kill you in a certain time frame. We have thousands if not millions of data points. I fail to see how the control group is really telling you anything you do not already know. Ignoring what we already know is unethical.

It is just is insane that we set people up for false hope and watch them die in droves. I guess it looks better on the marketing material to doctors. I wonder how many actual studies are halted because of die off in the control group. It sure seemed like that wasn't going to be an option.

>One reason some are opposed to going to a government paid system is the fact that we spend so much on that where if the costs were simply doubled it'd be a rediculous expense.

Or maybe people would realize a County like Germany is able to cover the entire County (2x as many people as Medicare) while spending half the Medicare budget. Then, questions of waste and fraud might pop up, which no one involved wants to happen.
