Yes, it does seem to be per engineer. I think it's because it's tracking the git metrics on each engineer.

I'm pretty surprised that the price goes up per engineer as the team grows larger, especially as you're getting serious economies of scale -- all the math and stats is as easy to perform on 400 engineers as it is on 4, once you've got the system in place.

This is very common for low-end Android phones. I have seen and used many models from different companies (eg, Micromax, Gionee) (mostly Chinese) that remotely install apps or inject ads into the OS (notifications, home screen or lock screen).

They also almost certainly are used to collect personal user data and sell it.

Another bad thing is that these apps often come installed as "system apps", so you can't uninstall or disable them, or change permissions :(

When my bank wants my 1040 for refinance request, I fill out a form allowing the IRS to release it to them. No reason the DMV couldn't do the same. If an insurance company wants my info, I can fill out and sign a form allowing the DMV to release the info to them. Else, they don't need it!
I think it's more than that, powerful/rich people men are going to have more access to (consensual) sex than poor men.
I agree overall on both points, but it's worth noting that the founders intended for the constitution to be amended much more frequently than it has been.

Taxis were an exact example of what you describe. How did that work out?

Have you ever asked an Uber driver how they feel about the law? All the ones I spoke with dislike it. You think you're doing good by forcing people how to live? Your position is either arrogant or uninformed. Uber driver loved their jobs and the freedom they provided until politicians came in to enforce your view of the world. If they couldn't figure out taxis, what make you think they can figure out Uber?
That explains why I can pick them up on Craigslist for around $7000 used. But I mean, even with only a 35 mile range, I could still get to work and back every day. For $7k, that seems like a damn good way to get into EVs. Aside from the range issues, are there any reliability concerns?

Read the article - he wanted the son until he didn't, and then he peaced out.
I've seen some articles written by former MIT Media Lab employees, and they made it seem like Epstein's involvement and history was basically an open secret that they weren't allowed to mention in emails or documents.

There was a Medium article that said Epstein brought young Eastern European women (likely trafficked) with him to campus. (If I can find it I will edit this comment) I think it says a lot about their culture, that people working there are encouraged to look the other way when a billionaire is involved.

Also, looking at the report, it is obvious that Ito was completely aware of Epstein's history, and the risks of associating with him, but continued to invite him to MIT's campus.
I might be wrong, but I don't think there's any law that forbids having consensual sex with employees. It's unethical if they're his direct reports, sure, but I don't think it's illegal. I'm sure if I had _fifty billion dollars_, I'd have to fight off women like zombies in a movie even though I'm already married.
It is true that a web app needs a browser. But a native app needs an operating system (OS). Something that I find fascinating though are apps that you can boot into, eg. they do not require an OS. But if you want graphics, mouse support, play sound etc, it becomes quite complicated. Compare that to a web app where you get all that functionality for free, with no libraries needed. And in between we have the shared lib utopia with Debian et.al and dll-hell with Windows. Each stack have their advantages and disadvantages. I however don't see bundle sizes on the web as a huge problem, at least not yet. With service workers you can download the app once, then even use it offline. Everything is just one click away and can be reached via an URL. And if you stick with "vanilla" it can also be fast and lightweight.

PRP has good reviews. A friend tried it recently and said it actually started baby hair growth near hairline..so I guess it basically increases blood flow.. If I had some spare change laying around, I would invest in cosmetic start ups. Especially those that are non invasive. Ways to determine which procedure is best suited for each person. AI to customize treatments. Etc. Phone apps too esp with the really nifty cameras that come with smart phones these days.

Deceim ..a Canadian cosmetic company has affordable products and I am a fan of many their basic products altho some are pretty hard core. I won’t use anything with retinol for example. I work in the farm and under the sun. So I have to be careful. Maybe when I retire from farming.

Yeah but not sure how that works if the parent company is US based, since the US says legal requests even applied to foreign servers in that case. Since large companies have servers all over the world. Then with the cloud and globally accessible services, hard to isolate I think unless there were separate Facebook for each country where you can't friend your friends from Europe if you are in America. Just seems like a mess, but the big companies have enough lawyers to deal with this stuff and advice on conflicts but seems a blow to startups.

The lack of quality storage interfaces is a killer too. Pi 4's still eat SD cards and even when they don't it's not exactly speedy. USB to mSATA/m.2 SATA adapters provide a step up but it's still quirky and you still need a functioning SD card to boot to it with the current firmware.
It's not such an interesting question, since most people (even at MIT) think the answer is obviously "no". GP is right to doubt that MIT has any particular insight, however.

All of Part I and sections 10-15 of Part II are deployed ubiquitously in most of the world today. As is section 22 of Part III (WireGuard, WPA3, TLS, etc. use AKEs).

The rest of it appears to consist of "areas that theoretical cryptographers are refining in preparation for real world use". This is the stuff that will be deployed in the real world come 2030.

So, to answer your question: More than half of it is actually used today, and at least 80% of it will be used soon. If you're going to take a course in this, it's better to be ahead of the curve than behind it. (Otherwise, we'll all be suffering through textbook RSA ad nauseum.)

So hard! And this is a reality even you're not trying to sell but are doing as part of your regular corp responsibility! I've been on the founder side in convs like this, both real+fake, so some advice I got here that has resonated the most:

1. Assume 95+% of inbounds won't go through, even if 'serious'

2. Use every ask from the acquirer to get a parallel give: if they're serious, they'll increasingly show they're not the 95% here

3. Almost all teams are not emotionally equipped to understand the 95% no-deal thing, unless you're say a VP-only company (???). As soon as they hear potential acquirer, it's natural to think "maybe 30% chance for one, so 100% across 3-4 inbounds", not "maybe 5% for just one if we qualify it more." It's hard to do anything if you're worrying about your kid's college tuition for 6mo wrt to a fragile deal's ups and downs that you have little control over.

A common path here is to understand indiv employee personal goals, and only bring in the acquirer in front of them, such as for interviews or whatever, only once you've gotten a deal to the 99% point (one of the biggest asks). Baremetrics is going for more transparency afaict, so having someone to help contextualize for both its ~first-time ceo + employees would seem required to avoid morale going through the ringer.

4. Don't optimize for building to exit, but do treat as part of general BD. (Though I feel most YC etc. co's don't do this, and the wave of quick-flip startup people is poisoning the well for follow-on founders more serious about high-trust areas like enterprise.)

==> 4b. This kind of distinction can be all sorts of confusing for team members too, who aren't thinking about BD+Prod+... etc. strategy all day but how to make an X do a Y. They can make bad high-level decisions if it takes center stage.

==> 4c. More likely outcome is becoming colleagues with folks for future accounts/partnerships/etc., and even hires. So do that!
One interesting thing I've learned from studying the history of several dozen startups and from doing about 20 pivots myself is that oftentimes the startup doesn't pivot into the market, the market (or technology) pivots into the startup. In other words, the startup is non-viable at the time of its founding, but later events change the structure of the market in a way that takes the struggling business and turns it into a growth powerhouse.

Google, Whatsapp, Uber, Twitch, AirBnB, EverNote, Roblox, and to some extent Apple can all be seen as examples of this.

This has a bunch of implications for what it's really like to found a startup: in particular, it validates the wisdom of keeping burn rate extremely low and of being extremely persistent, as well as having a product out there that people can use. It also suggests that it may be better to have a lot of usable-but-unpolished working products that are constantly getting exposure (even if they're not succeeding), rather than putting all your eggs into improving one product, and argues for putting failed startups in maintenance-mode rather than shuttering them entirely.

There was a biologist on BBC Radio 4 this morning making exactly the point, and actually going a few steps further: as well as the numbers being extremely high, there are a number of species endemic to Australia whose habitat is entirely within the areas of the fire. He was able to name three or four species which may be entirely extinct at this point due to the fires (obviously, until the fire's gone, it's difficult to tell for sure...)
He's posted 3 posts. All 3 are gold. Keep them coming!
I specifically wrote it was besides the point of the article, and that it was something I noticed and I thought was worth pointing out after reading the whole article and not having anything in particular to say about it.
Ahem. The topic of equality of outcome is flamebait to begin with. (Why? Because of tiny details like "encouraging" hidden it between the neutral reporting.)

The question is real, though: are trans women counted as women? If not: transphobic. If yes: what do these numbers really tell us? And there's also "non-binary" and "prefer not to say". Making sense of statistics in the current year is f'ing difficult.

This happens MUCH less today than at any time in the past. Only 2 generations ago, stuff like this was happening on a daily basis everywhere in the world. This was basically what justice used to be.

The world is not fair. There is little justice. But it's more fair and just than it's ever been before, by far. Maybe we've taken a step back in the last 10 years. It's hard to say. But compared to even 50 years ago, we are so far ahead it's unbelievable. 100 years, and it's basically a different world.

I'm not convinced. I have a theory that when the US killed Qasem Soleimani Iran looked over to Russia for a nod of approval. Once they got the nod (yeah, we'll back you in a proxy war) Iran went ahead with retaliation against the US and simultaneously put Trump in a position where he will most likely denounce any responsibility to defend/aid Ukraine. Setting the stage for round 2 Ukrainian invasion.

1. Russia puts mercs in Crimea to sow unrest.

2. Russian mercs drive unrest.

3. Unrest drives Russia to annex (liberate) Crimea.

4. Obama sanctions Russia.

5. Russia helps elect Trump.

6. Trump lifts sanctions against Russia.

7. Trump endebted to Putin.

8. Iranian tensions ratchet up.

9. Trump has a hard on for killing Iran.

10. Trump has an aversion to confrontation with Russia.

11. Putin puts Trump in a position to renounce responsibility to defend Ukraine (world peace).

Putin has set the stage for the US to turn Iran into ISIS: The sequel and simultaneously weakened Ukraine.

This isn't true, right? MIT knew about those engagements from as far back as 2013. This is the first sentence in the first answer to the first question and it just isn't correct. What _actually_ happened in September is a bunch of fucking terrible press for MIT. This whole thing is just so sad and at the end of all this is a bunch of human beings who were treated so poorly by some, and in some ways almost worse, treated indifferently by so many others.

Yes, if there is a bias, it needs to come from somewhere? If feel it is like saying "If you haven't made a crime, you don't need an attorney." This doesn't make sense for most of people on your side of Atlantic, but try to get the rationale behind that.

This phrasing is a bit misleading. It makes it sound like Sergey had designated a room exclusively for sex with employees and called it the "masseuse room." To be precise, Google's offices include private massage rooms in which employees can get professional massages. Sergey allegedly had sex in one or more of these rooms.
I don't get this "abuse of power" angle at all. Having a relationship with a subordinate is not an abuse of power. Insisting that your job rests on a relationship is an abuse of power, but without evidence that happened (and it seems like it didnt), there's no abuse. This idea that a power differential invalidates a relationship is nonsense.

The fact is, people spend half or more of their waking hours at work. You spend more time with your colleagues than you do your own family in many cases. Relationship are going to happen. We need to learn how to deal with it rather than try to codify rules against it.
Maybe the parents want to have loud sex without their mid-30's child hearing them from his bedroom down the hall.
Cause that was example. The "role model for little boys" is general statement. Plus, general diversity.
I've heard this too, except it got really annoying to be working crazy hours doing annoying crap while you have a team of devs working 40 hrs working on interesting tech with not much pressure. I burnt out, now I delegate lots of crap work and it works better for me and I think the team as well as they get a wider perspective.
One problem that I envision with sex in space is space adaptation syndrome, i.e. space sickness. I imagine there are few things that spoil the mood faster that vomiting on your partner.

On the other hand, I believe that sex in reduced gravity (e.g. on the moon or Mars) would have significant advantages. Reduced gravity would mean less effort required to keep ones weight off of ones partner, and could make some positions that are difficult in one gravity, easier.

> Seems more analogous to a tobacco company

They have an addictive product in common. But oil seems more apt.

The sale of tobacco is highly regulated. Oil, less so; Facebook, not at all.

Oil became useful in the Industrial Revolution, and enabled downstream innovation. Facebook came about amidst the modern Internet and is likewise a platform. Tobacco is old and the end of the line; the ancillary market is limited.

Finally, both oil and Facebook are tools (for some). Tobacco could be thought of as a tool, but it‘a more universally hedonistic.
I'm very sorry for your circumstances, but are the "every buyer ghosted me when they saw our financials" and "our accountant had dementia" elements of this related? How could millions of dollars of net income go to insolvent so quickly?

There are two sides to this general issue, and while there are bad buyers there are people dishonestly presenting their companies. Not that you are, but it seems like a very low-trust business environment in both directions. More lately than it used to be.
If you want a non-x86 desktop, but not AArch64 in particular, I'd recommend looking at the Talos POWER9 systems instead. I have a Talos II Lite, and my only two complaints (less pcie slots with only a single socket, and no built in sata) were solved with their new Blackbird motherboard. It's gotten closer to the desktop experience than any AArch64 computer I've tried, and in some ways it's even better (petitboot is awesome).
> "Taxi prices" are the way they are because taxi companies aren't propped up by a Japanese billionaire and his coterie of Gulf oil barons and VC pals whose stated goal is to monopolize the market.

That can't be the whole story. Surely the artificial restriction of supply (taxi medallions, etc) must contribute to a higher cost.
