I had a friend who was approached to buy his private equity. In his case, the company was doing quite well and expected to IPO, so he felt it would be better to just wait for the liquidity event. Might be a similar situation for you, maybe work some old contacts and see what the trajectory of the company is.
I'm wondering if we are on the verge of a commercial property apocalypse. If rents are eventually forced down in large metropolitan areas it will wipe out billions of dollars in property wealth. Could make the GFC look like a blip.
you can come up with a huge list of bad reasons for anything if you assume the thing you like/currently have has a good and easy answer already like in this article.
I use Apple's Photos app which for me is pretty good: photos I snap on my phone appear automatically on my Mac; I can search by date, location, person, or object; I can share photos with family; the Memories feature is sometimes delightful; touch-ups can be reverted any time in the future.

But if you are asking for recommendations I'm guessing Photos doesn't fit your needs.
I want to approach it with the same level of polite humility you've offered. Presumably you could use a thread pool proportional to the number of connections in your connection pool?

Its not about when it works. Its about the first accident. Should the car have performed better? Who is liable - the owner? the manufacturer? the software company?

The good news is, when an issue is found then all the cars can be updated. The bad news is, conflicting decisions about right behavior. The trolley car problem springs to mind - can an AI car leave the road to avoid a collision? What if somebody is on the shoulder and could be hit? Which accident should the AI choose?

Different municipalities/states/judges will have different ideas. It'll be a madhouse until some groundrules are in place e.g. "An AI car shall not leave the road". Call it the 'Laws of automotive Robotics'.

No, I think the anti-feature is that browsers don't give users good tools to see when things are being stored in storage (cookies, localstorage, etc.), what is being stored, whether it should be stored, and when it should expire.

I think this stuff should have a first-class UI component in 2020, not be hidden away in a submenu in the devbar that's frankly even annoying to deal with as a developer.

By pitching cookies only, you're saying that websites should only be able to store stuff that the browser should have to reflect back to the server through http headers. I don't think the constraint makes sense beyond wasting bandwidth for settings that should stay local.

Just look at this HN submission. We shouldn't need an HN submission to know this about the websites we visit. Browsers are failing us here. If a website is abusing our localstorage like this, it should be obvious (for the people who care). As it currently stands, browsers enable bad actors to do bad things silently with zero consequence beyond the few nerds who happen to notice it.

As an example, I'm reminded of the new iOS feature(?) that shows when the clipboard is being accessed which spurred a bunch of "wtf is $app doing with my clipboard?" last month. That's what I think setting cookies and localStorage should be like. Or at least a way to opt in to that behavior without throwing the baby out with "disable localstorage".
Once you use it with a decent amount of people for work, things just get ‘lost’, because the frequency of messages in a channel is so high, info is missed, or employees working on different shifts need to spend a decent amount of time at the beginning of their day to review all the missed messages, some are relevant, most are not.

As you mentioned, there is also an inclination to send alerts or tasks to a channel, and similarly, the alert gets buried w additional messages, or you want up creating a bunch of ‘alert’ channels that you mute, or become hijacked and people start convos in those channels.

Also, the threading sucks. It is very difficult to get users to use threads.
I don't know if you meant it hyperbolically, but who the hell laughs at other people's meal schedule?
This situation is very good for the first start-up that will offer a website that works like an application store and provides crossplatform games/apps etc. along with a good SDK. Time for the web to neutralize the old monopolies
You weren’t explicitly saying it, but some might infer it, so I think it’s worth mentioning that bit flips in RAM aren’t necessarily radiation-induced. Some other causes are heat and aging (both increase capacitor leakage, and DRAM cells are tiny capacitors), or lack of robustness in refresh logic.
Remember when Google tried their own federated communication app and failed? Maybe they’re just jealous.
Indeed works. A simple trace reveals that the function is called mkl_serv_intel_cpu_true().

Make a file with the following content:

int mkl_serv_intel_cpu_true() {
return 1;
}

Compile

gcc -shared -o libfake.so fake.c

Run

LD_PRELOAD=libfake.so yourprogram

And it uses the optimized AVX codepaths.

What you do, though, is objectively more valuable to Slack than you were paid. They have reframed security as the competition you mention, but the stakes are much higher and they're sidestepping with this issue of "responsible reporting".
The issue is that all the analysis the rust compiler did is not present/inferable from the wasm artifact. Since the compiler that has to translate wasm to machine code cannot make more assumptions than those that are in the wasm specification, it has to redo the analysis for certain things. That is time consuming for an optimizing compiler (how much really I don't know), and I think impossible for a streaming compiler.

That's not true. Apple has had a budget model every year for several years now. Nobody outside the USA buys it in any volume. Why? Because it is irrationally priced based on that phone's capability.

The truth is, if you want the best phone on the market, in any single area (battery, camera, screen, apps, usability, design) or all of them, it is not an Iphone. The only reason USians cling to their Iphones is because they are familiar with it. They are stuck with SMS and Imessage. People are risk averse and would rather pay more for something they know.

You cited the stats yourself. Do you think Germans are more price sensitive than Americans? Search for "poorest state in USA", and Mississippi comes out as one of the poorest in terms of median household income. That number is $44,717 for 2018. Now search for "iphone market share by state" and you end up on this page[1]: For iOS, the most popular states were Connecticut at 73 percent of respondents, Missouri at 72 percent, and Mississippi at 71 percent. Median household income in Germany is $46,278. But Iphone share is 30%.

Are you saying that marginally richer Germans are more price sensitive than the inhabitants of Mississippi? To the extent of flipping the market share exactly opposite of 70-30?

The sooner Slack is out of my life, the happier I will be.
Yep. The key point here isn't whether autonomous cars will be better at solving general AI problems related to accident risk than humans [although the OP's extraordinary claim that this will be 'easy to get in a short period of time' requires extraordinary evidence], but who the liability falls upon when they don't, and what happens when this is tested in court.

When a human is accused of an egregious driving error with serious consequences, it's a discrete problem. When software makes an egregious error, it probably isn't, and simply removing that particular instance of software from the road and paying off directly affected parties isn't likely to be a satisfactory resolution.

To take another example from aviation, two 737 MAX accidents attributed to its software see the entire fleet grounded and very serious questions being asked about its future, and by extension the company's. That entails much more expensive consequences and complex legal cases than car accidents for which humans are held responsible, even though car accidents are much more frequent.

>>So there should be a law that says any computing device must be free to load any software?

No, that's not what I said. I said general computing device. For a lot of people nowadays, their phone or tablet is the only computing device they have. The argument here is that Apple is stopping two sides from engaging in a fully legal business transaction. Epic wants to sell you their game, you want to buy that game. The fact that it's running on a device manufactured by Apple is only tangential here - Apple should have the freedom to run their app store however they see fit, but Epic's argument is that they shouldn't be a gatekeeper to allowing and purchasing applications on their devices, because that stifles competition and innovation on the market(which the government is trying to protect). I think it's really well explained here[0]

It's as if Nescafe tried to forbid anyone from making capsules that work in their machines - their argument could be the same, we made the machine, our capsules guarantee correct operation and quality standard, therefore our machines shouldn't work with anything else. And yet....it would be illegal for them to do so, just like it is illegal for a car manufacturer to forbid you from using 3rd party replacement parts. They can void your warranty, sure, but they legally cannot forbid you from fitting 3rd party replacements. But it's about freedom of choice - if you want to buy original Mercedes parts, you can. If you only want to buy apps vetted and approved by apple - you can.

>> I buy iPhone specifically for the walled garden. I don’t want to have to worry about malware etc like I do on my PCs/MacBook.

Literally no one wants to take this away from you. If you want to only install apps from the App Store that have gone through apple's approval process - please continue to do so.

>>So PS4 must play XBox games? Printers must accept any ink cartridge? Apple Watch should allow any android app? What’s the distinction?

The distinction isn't that everything should be compatible with everything. Just that anyone should be allowed to make software for anything, which the platform holders are trying to forbid. Apple is just the first one - but I'd hope that eventually the same argument will be made against Microsoft and Sony and yes, you will be allowed to make a game for PS4/Xbox without having to explicitly ask those companies for approval. The example with the printer is an interesting one, because like I mentioned earlier - manufacturers cannot forbid you from neither making replacement cartridges for their printers, nor from you using them. The ability to do so for hardware has been enshrined in law for a long time. Why not for software?

I can immediately see that you are biased as your comment implicitly implies that everyone buying Apple products is an idiot who buys overpriced hardware on credit just for the status symbol.

Consider that instead we are professionals that need the best tool possible that works and is functional
The drowning person really hit home for me. This is what most blog posts on startup world sound like trying to teach you something...

The other thing that doesn’t get mentioned is that when shared transportation models are dominant, they are just like any other local monopoly — shitty service and incompetent management.

The corporate performance of railroads in the 19th and 20th century are distinguished by comical poor performance, abusive practices and unrivaled greed. For all the faults, the industry around cars is highly competitive at almost every level.

EU has already started an antitrust investigation into apples app store. Most likely they will get hit with a huge fine.

> The European Commission has opened formal antitrust investigations to assess whether Apple's rules for app developers on the distribution of apps via the App Store violate EU competition rules. The investigations concern in particular the mandatory use of Apple's own proprietary in-app purchase system and restrictions on the ability of developers to inform iPhone and iPad users of alternative cheaper purchasing possibilities outside of apps.

These costs are more meaningfull for those who bootstrap their businesses and projects at their own expense. I have a personal anectdote where switching from a scripting web framework to a compiled one reduced the runtime size, and the deployable environment went from 800mb to 10mb, which allowed me to fit all my deployments into a free-tier monthly quota of AWS ECR.

Given I already knew both frameworks from fulltime jobs, it's a great net benefit.

It also means that whoever wants to use self-hosted open-source alternatives of user-tracking services (notes, calendars, emails, etc), they can do it cheaper or even for free.
Very good point and my example was not quite right. Although Apple’s market share is nothing even close to what MSFT had. It would be very difficult to prove in court that Apple is flexing market power when (a) they apply the same cut across the board, (b) competition charges the same amount, and more importantly (c) they have not changed it since inception. I think lawsuits are only possible once Apple crosses 50% market share which I don’t see happening.

Think of the common experiment when people are offered an unfair but still beneficial exchange (they get $10 while the other side gets $1000), and still refuse. Is refusing that (which nearly everyone does) a dark trait?

It was never disallowed for developers to charge a higher fee on iOS app store purchases. They just aren’t allowed to make the user aware that they are paying more than required or explain why.

Why wary? The whole point of experimental nightly is that you can try out new exciting features which are not stabilised yet. Sometimes they will be changed before a full release and you have to deal with it.

But if you stay with stable releases, code keeps working.
There's a difference in kind between leniency and suspending all judgement. The GP was explicitly in favour of suspending all judgement.

They didn't accidentally spin this so hard into a cover-up. Sure, if they showed a repeated pattern of such behavior, they should see greater consequences, but they still deserve to get called out hard on their first cover-up.
Oh, wow. Starts off fairly innocent then comes in with this craziness -

"Many leftists have an intense identification with the problems of groups that have an image of being weak (women), defeated (American Indians), repellent (homosexuals) or otherwise inferior. The leftists themselves feel that these groups are inferior. They would never admit to themselves that they have such feelings, but it is precisely because they do see these groups as inferior that they identify with their problems. (We do not mean to suggest that women, Indians, etc. ARE inferior; we are only making a point about leftist psychology.)"

I’m not sure if you read the article I linked, but the 30% of executives is not a new goal but a revision by ten years of a failed target set by Abe when he first took office. It’s not a serious measure, but something used to distract from the widening inequality and growing poverty measures in Japan.

Japanese households needing two wage earners to survive is increasingly becoming a reality, but is a violation of what the LDP has promised would be delivered through its conservativism. Abe’s pivot to “womenomics” was a little more than a PR maneuver to distract from the worsening material conditions that the LDP’s corrupt, failed leadership have wrought, while preserving the underlying, extreme sexism of the country.

Before 2014 plans were required to cover pre-existing conditions as long as you had “prior credible coverage” and didn’t have a lapse in coverage for more than a short period of time.

If you let coverage lapse, plans were allowed to impose a waiting period before coverage for the existing condition would start.

Since 2014, the “fix” is that now it’s just required to always have insurance, or else you pay a penalty.

Then for the last couple years the penalty was repealed but the coverage for pre-existing conditions is still guaranteed, which does open up a hazard that people will only buy insurance after they get sick... but really the risk of a sudden health issue is still high enough that most healthy people will still want coverage.
