Agreed that it's right to be suspicious of the motives of any venture capitalist that makes a post like this (nothing against Fred Wilson personally). One thing I noticed at my last few startups is that the initial option agreements tend to have less diligence around them, say a very small strike price and more favorable terms on stuff like acceleration. Naturally, later-stage VCs would seek to skew the terms more in their favor, and redoing option grants yearly allows this to happen.

On a more general note though, golden handcuffs can benefit the employee just because they are a guarantee. There's no possibility of future faking when it's up front and signed into a four year vesting schedule (e.g. "we'll give you a few percent next year but we need to get through this raise first").
The chances seem good that some upgrades will be possible to make as a third party too, maybe not a new motherboard - though I wouldn’t be that surprised to see somewhat put an ARM SoC in there - but the ports are based on USB-C and it’s definitely reasonable for someone to design their own.
The difficulty is that in the days when C was being designed, computers were much more irregular than they are today. There were one's complement machines, machines that didn't have power-of-two word sizes, no standardization of character sets, IEEE floating point hadn't been invented yet. The irregular machines weren't fringe stuff, they were the dominant architectures (IBM 360/370, DEC PDP-10, Pr1me, just a big collection of weird stuff). And compiler technology was much less advanced. So C was a messy compromise.
> Turbo chargers are not heat recovery turbines they will not increase and engine thermal efficiency by any significant amount, diesels use turbo charging to increase power they are just as thermally efficient without them.

This is 100% false, and trivially easy to google. But it also misses the point: turbochargers are heat engines: they convert heat to work. The fact that they use waste heat from exhaust means that they recover energy that is normally lost, which means it is a heat recovery engine. That work can be used any number of ways, but if it is used, you have increased the thermal efficiency of the engine.

> The Freightliner still has a turbo charger like any diesel along with a recovery steam turbine, much of the effective heat recovery comes from capturing heat from the engine block itself not just hot exhaust gas.

Those are both heat recovery engines. One is rankine cycle (the steam turbine), and the other is brayton cycle (the turbocharger). The only other difference is the source of heat.

And again, to drive the point home:

It seems some of the fake ones could easily have been real (e.g. the one about the 3d structure of bound Ach receptor) . I guess the brevity of the text helps to make it make sense and to make it indistinguishable
That's neat, but also flow-insensitive (and wow, generating a definition for every single use of a variable can't be good for compile-time memory usage).
I'd be OK paying a premium for more modularity. I'm curious what the support for things that I can't upgrade will be like if I want to run Linux.
The theme of the movie isn't so much "not knowing what's going on" as "not knowing why this is happening to _me_".

VCs can somewhat commonly get pro-rata rights in future rounds. That's quite a bit different from a guarantee of never being diluted.
Microsoft could have ported Office to MIPS, Alpha, PPC, and Itanium. I don’t think IE ever had a PPC port. The same applies to Visual Studio. When Alphas started appearing, that’s all I needed to be happy - a way to use email, to browse the web and use Altavista, and Visual Studio so I could write programs. It’d be a different story.
Eh - NIST 800-171 is gaining traction in industry. Some even actively campaign for it's more broad adoption: https://blog.rsisecurity.com/why-you-should-adopt-the-cybers...

There's lots of common sense foundational stuff in there that if more companies did I would be less likely watching people get in fistfights at a nearby gas station :p

I can't find a link to it but Microsoft also announced they are making all of their cloud offerings FedRAMP Moderate compliant - basically adopting all the moderate 800-171 controls for the parts of 800-171 that apply to their cloud offerings.

It wouldn't hurt people to read through and think about the different parts of 800-171 and what they could easily adopt into the workflows they are involved in.
I agree about the showman bit. I really like that about Tesla. Traditional marketing has become invasive and exploitative, and it seems to drag companies into the muck.

This is an incredibly nearsighted approach for reasons other responses partially point out.

First you have confused uncertainty with a bad scenario. For all you know the offer from the first company would end up much higher than from the second but you won't know.

Second, and this is probably a bigger deal - lack of exact range often indicates flexibility in seniority, skillset and scope. So in your case, your only good scenario is if you match exactly the picture of an employee company 2 has in mind for the role/comp. If you are just a little under, you won't make the cut. If you are any over, they will underpay you.

Comoany 2 gave themselves more flexibility with hiring and paying you. Eg if you aren't quite on the level they thought, they could level you down as a say in, which you would appreciate. Similarly if you are beyond what they expected they may offer you more than you'd think, and more than company 2.

Mainly, you have cut yourself off from valuable information and potentially leverageable competing offers because you couldn't hang with a bit of uncertainty.
I imagine that that would be really hard to achieve (or manage for the company) in practice, although I'd love to see a world in which employees could essentially get pro rata rights to purchase more shares built into their employment. That'd allow them to participate more fully in the upside of companies taking off like rocket ships.
Easy mode is cake.

Hard mode is good enough that I'd like to see some sort of distance metric to the nearest real story, to be sure the model isn't accidentally copying truth.

I wonder if this is a good thing for "early-ish stage startups" in the long run? If all big-cos start doing this (and since the first few players have already folded I dont see a reason for the rest not to) this may end up standardizing pays with no upside for the employees. So finally the risk-taking employees have more of an incentive to found or join startups. May be even better, since this kind of greed is (possibly) a by-product of the size more of the startups will be motivated towards more realistic exits instead of growth for the sake of growth!

Probably merely having played with them will nick a big chunk of the value; collectors are looking for perfect condition, mint cards.

> I'm arguing that it hasn't prevented attacks to a degree that was worth the cost

Ok, but that’s not what you said before,

> (completely forfeiting ownership of personal computers by anyone that wants to participate in group chats with iphone users.)

This is false. There are many group chat programs, that people use cross platform and they are more popular than iMessage.

Nobody if ‘forfeiting ownership’ of anything anyway - that’s just an ideological tautology.

If you you want a platform that can do both iMessage, and install apps without review, then you can use a Mac.

So literally no part of your statement is true.

>Here you admit that significant classes of attack have been prevented.

> I don't think people care whether they lost things on their phone because of malware or because of a fake CA cert, the attack works pretty much the same way and has the same result.

They may not know or care about the technical details but they do care about the risk level, so this is a moot point.

>False. Once a scam has been detected, the developer account can be disabled, which adds cost to new attempts, unlike windows defender.

> You don't need a dev account to distribute malware in dylibs.

No, but you do to distribute it to App Store users.

>> Nope, lots of people knew it was happening for years before Apple actually stopped it and it happens with other libraries still.
>That doesn’t change anything.

> It means the App Store doesn't stop malware before it's able to exfiltrate data from large numbers of users for long periods of time. That's the justification for it.

False. It just means that some apps slip through the protections. It doesn’t say a thing about the ones which are stopped.

This is a repeat of the earlier fallacy: “if the protection doesn’t stop all attacks then we don’t need the protection”, which is obviously not true.
I had the same experience. It started off great, but I was not a fan of the idea of having all my data hostage with Notion. I'm using emacs with org-mode and org-roam right now, but I still don't have good flow with org-roam.

Both Obsidian.md and vimwiki look really cool though. Do you use Obsidian and vimwiki together, or for separate purposes?

There are now countless eSIM offers (mostly for data) that are way cheaper than the previous prepaid options, so I'm not convinced of this.

(I'm sure the roaming fee limits played a big part in this, because it effectively allows any mobile operator to resell data at the wholesale rate, or even below it because data is usually sold in packages that are rarely used up in full.)
It's really close to the city too.

This is a great idea. I think the length of an iteration could be shortened on every single project I’ve been on if designers used production copy when designing - as problems with the design often come up during development as copy isn’t as the designer thought it would be.

Anti-Trust is generally smoke and mirrors anyway - I can't think of any antitrust that actually did anything useful. AT&T was broken up, and then 5 of the companies merged back into it over time. Standard Oil was broken up and now we have Exxon (yay...). Microsoft was hit because they bundled IE with Windows but now they have IE, and Edge still bundled with Windows 10.

Full Disclosure - I have been lucky enough to have closed BETA access to the Notion API and here are some things I have noticed. BTW I do not work for Notion, im totally indie :P

- The team building the API has been super responsive and respectful, very good collaboration on their Dev slack and I had a great time testing things

- The documentation has been updated with the feedback from the community who had access, it's in a MUCH better status now than when it started

- The API speed has increased, it was really slow, now its a bit faster :)

Looking forward to see how other companies are using the Notion API, whether natively or through other integrations, I've seen a lot of activity from the folks at Integromat and Typeform :) (which are awesome tools btw!)

People who buy Pokemon/MtG cards have an interesting relationship with WotC.

They're usually perfectly willing to buy cards on the secondary market (which doesn't make WotC money) but they're constitutionally unable to play "real" (non-"casual") matches — even in tournaments WotC has no relationship to! — if the cards are https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Proxy_card s.

I've never been clear on what the difference is. Both the secondary market, and proxies, result in perfectly usable cards, and result in WotC making no money from you. But one's acceptable to the community, while the other very much isn't.

I have a feeling it's probably to do with the community having a lot of collectors in it, who want their rare cards to retain value, and who fear that that value would be lost if there's no reason to play with the card, only to hide it away in a binder while playing with a proxy.

So, you are saying that there are jurisdictions where home security systems are illegal? Night watchmen/security guards and body guards are illegal? Where would these jurisdictions be located?
True, that's why I'm against general rules (aka laws) as the main/only tool. A cloud platform is not a telecom, is not a search engine, etc.

I don't agree with "monopoly may* abuse its position*" though. Monopolies exert their impact by existing as monopolies. They may or may not (as in the adwords case) "abuse" this position in specific, known, ways like anticompetitive contracts in the adwords-EU case... but this tends to be pretty marginal.

Google bought Doubleclick in 2007. After this, they owned both the biggest search engine and the biggest ad marketplace... their competitors' only revenue source. Throw in Android, Chrome & a $20bn contract to be Apple's default.

At this point it's all about market structure and control over choke points, nothing to do with consumer preferences. I'm not saying shut down google, or prevent people from using it. I'm saying that a market structure with only one choice is a monopoly, and that's bad for everyone but the monopolist.

One tiny detail: in Safari, the content of the yellow "celebrating the launch" banner unfortunately wraps the final ">" onto a second line, and ends up looking oddly placed as a result.

(I suspect this is a Safari bug rather than something you're doing -- it doesn't happen in Chrome or Firefox -- but you might want to try and avoid it. It seems to be specific to using font-weight:500 with the Inter font there; changing it to either 400 or 600 makes the issue go away.)

two factor authentication can be enabled multiple ways - through dedicated hardware like Yubikey or via software via things like Google Authenticator or proprietary solutions like SecureAuth (around WAY before Google Auth).

What 2 factor is used isn't important - what's important that you use some sort of 2nd factor (your password - something you know as being the first factor) that's limited to one physical device (something you have) that is not easily moveable. And NO, SMS is NOT 2 factor since you can bump a cell phone number from one phone to another pretty trivially with most cell phone companies (unfortunately). SMS is about on par with emailing you a code for secondary authentication. A barrier for a remote hacker who doesn't have physical access to you or your stuff, but not that high of a barrier.

> I ended up going open source via Obsidian

Obsidian is not open source. I'm hesitant to dump my stuff into Obsidian because their markdown has plenty of nonstandard features. You can't run a directory of Obsidian notes through Pandoc and copy the output to your website. I think someone did write a partial converter at some point. This is kind of an issue with all the recent notes apps like Dendron, Logseq, and Athens.

Not even close. C++ is a vastly more complex language with a very different philosophy from that of C.

You might argue that C can very roughly be treated as a subset of C++, but this really is a very rough approximation. Which is to say, really, that it's wrong.
