Sure they will. And a filled out W-9 looks pretty much exactly the same for an individual and a single-member LLC. In both cases, it's the individual's social security number on the form, not an EIN even if the LLC has one.
No.

Assuming you're in the U.S., incorporation is neither here nor there in terms of transactions and taking in income.

Company payments to sole proprietorships and to partnerships need to be tracked by companies, and they are required to issue IRS form 1099 payment statements to non-corporate payees annually, when payments are above $600, and some companies elect to issue them to all non-corporate entities even if less than $600.

Another commenter mentions form W-9. This is merely a request to the IRS for a Tax ID number for some business. You can see that on the form, all of the types of entity you could be are mere check-off boxes. You can have several Tax ID numbers, as an individual running several separate non-corporation (that is sole-proprietorship) businesses. There is nothing special about a corporate form for obtaining one or more Tax ID Numbers, also called EIN, Employer Identification Number. The businesses that pay you want your EIN in order to issue a year-end 1099.

Corporate-ness typically involves several values (and administrative costs) to a business. The leading one, is a limitation of liability, when things go wrong, rather than your own assets (however small or large your own personal assets may be): it is the corporation that is acting, not you, and the corporations's assets are looked to remedy errors and injuries. Similarly, for partnerships, all partners are liable for actions of their partner: this is what makes a corporate form useful for a multi-investor, multi-partner business. Sometimes insurance is available, and not so expensive that it can be an adequate means to meet the some potential liabilities, sometimes not.

Then there are tax and income issues that are different than the sole-proprietorship.

The questions you should ask your own accountant, and lawyer, and business advisor, which you now are on notice that you should have:

1. What particular advantages and costs come with the several typical operating entities you could use: Corporation, Limited Liability Company (LLC), and sole proprietorship (and partnership if you have a partner).

2. Separate from that, what are the tax consequences of each entity, and several Federal tax-filing-statuses: sole proprietorship, partnershp, LLC elections, Subchapter-S, Subchapter-C taxation (LLC and corporations)?

3. Is there any investor and partner involved, and can a non-partnership entity aid in structuring operations, and limiting your liability from your partner's incorrect actions?

Apparently he started with this (its the last thing in the article):

"We had a period where no one was making money from 2011 to this year, so no one invested in capacity. Now demand caught up with capacity. So they are building capacity but that won't be fully ramped until 2015,"

And then added a bunch of other stuff talking about various factors. Everyone has known flash has issues in terms of 'how' it works hasn't changed a whole lot so it has been at the mercy of its minimum feature size. Hard disks keep finding new ways to record and read magnetic domains so they get past various 'limits.' The article implies, but doesn't state, that anticipation of some of these new kinds of flash will slow down the addition of new capacity.

As someone who did make such a change, I agree with this. I'm assuming the parent did not intend it as trolling, as I don't.
I think it is.

Backing up a little, kids from good homes can go to basically any primary & secondary school and be fine. Kids from marginal or dangerous homes aren't really the same- and a lot of the boys have no respect for women.

That's clearly not the ideal outcome for schooling, but you have to start from somewhere, and very few women teachers can break that barrier.
Looks really great!

I have some questions:

- Does it manage multiple Twitter Accounts?

- Can I use it with App.net? Identi.ca? What is supported?

- What will be the pricing, when beta is over?

- Do you have a roadmap?

- iOS/Android apps on the roadmap? Or just APIs?

Thanks!

How can you know how your school experience would have shaped you differently if you had had more males teachers?
Thanks for the comment. A agree that their assertion/statement is accurate, absolutely. Yet the way it is positioned, particularly as a headline, is misleading to the reader because it ignores the broader context of the 2013 data. You can be accurate yet misleading. The graph clearly shows that the 2013 observation is almost exactly where all prior observations would predict it would be. It is the job of newspapers to put information in context.

A more appropriate headline about the amount of ice would say "arctic sea ice continues decline". A sentence in a first paragraph could say "though this year's observation was 30% higher than last year's record low, it is in line with long term decline in the amount of ice".

That said, WSJ has to sell papers/ads and their headline is admittedly more eye catching, particularly to the stereotypical conservative that is skeptical of climate-change/global warming.

Now you're getting it. I also pronounce 'char' from C as if it's short for charred, rather than character. Principally because I find it easier easier to say 'char star' with that vocalisation. I know one guy who, if speaking quickly, would pronounce 'char* sugar' as 'caster sugar'... come to think of it, I'm not sure how Americans pronounce 'caster', but in the UK it's car-stir sugar. Not 'Casper', as in the friendly ghost, but with a 't'.

I've never had a problem with people using different pronunciations. It certainly keeps talking about code fresh.
What are you guys doing that will give us a compelling reason to switch from Hootsuite?

Our team is only a handful of people but we've found Hootsuite really useful for making sure everyone has access to the same feeds and being able to see what we're all doing without stepping on each others' toes. It's also great that it lets us have one unified overview of all of our social networks (although its support for Facebook and G+ is nowhere near as good as for Twitter). If you guys can nail these two things, but actually make G+ and FB feel like they aren't just afterthoughts then we'd definitely be willing to give it a go!
This. I like this. It's sort of like an OOCSS Bootstrap.
The author seems to call for a very American solution: lobbying... but I think all it takes is for teachers to be willing to test new practices. See for instance this TEDx talk on reengaging boys in learning through gaming: http://www.ted.com/talks/ali_carr_chellman_gaming_to_re_enga...

For projects the size of Facebook there's a lot of risk and not a lot of reward in rewriting the whole site. Instead of retraining all their developers to write in a new language and taking the time to stop all current development and begin the rewrite, they were able to have a few guys go off and make the current infrastructure faster.

If you have a sizable existing PHP codebase time and money would be better spent making it run on HHVM than rewriting it in another language, especially if you have an existing army of PHP developers.

This blog post appears to be to get the author's resume looked at. Seems to be working.
You're conflating and confusing a whole ton of things, to the point where I don't really know where to begin...

There is "monad as a mathematical concept", which cookbooks don't "resort to" discussion of because a rigorous treatment of their internal logic isn't what cookbooks are about. A logician sitting down to describe and analyze the processes in a cookbook may well make reference to monads. Cookbooks don't care much about such description and analysis, because recipes are tremendously simple (compared to software), they rely on a ton of implicit knowledge, and they can be exhaustively tested.

There is "monad as an interface as it is used in Haskell", which cookbooks don't "resort to" because they are one particular DSL and the sole relevant context is implicit by the fact you opened a cookbook and are looking at something laid out like a recipe. It's not terribly difficult to characterize a recipe as a monad, though if you wanted to do so precisely you'd probably also want linear types (since you can't chop the same onion twice).

Regarding your later points of division of "imperative commands" and denotational constraints, I actually agree with you that splitting these but allowing some specification of both (I would actually broaden "imperative commands" to operational constraints generally) is going to be a worthwhile avenue in the medium to long term. I think, though, that it will look more like writing things out denotationally based on your actual goals (plus some operational constraints regarding time/space/resource bounds) and then filling in operational details as the compiler is unable to come up with how to do something on its own in a way that meets the requirements, as opposed to detailing how to do things and checking constraints.

Just no. If you are so influenced by seeing the gender of someone doing something that it sets your ability to do it you have problems well beyond whom you see doing it.

This is just further down the road of of giving up personal responsibility. "I never saw another man/woman doing it so I never tried. It's not my fault it's society not giving me role models to emulate."
No. The reason that trading on insider information is illegal isn't that some third party is injured (if anything, martha's sales caused the third-party get a better price than he would have otherwise!) It's illegal because the officers of a company and the employees of a company are supposed to be doing the job of running a company for the benefit of the shareholders, and there's opportunity for some pretty massive conflicts of interest if they're also playing games trading stocks / stock-tips instead.

And also because people think it's "unfair", like the stock market's supposed to be a game or something rather than a place that you can buy and sell stock for a price which is well-correlated with the company's prospects. :P

But Docker can't run on 10.04, right?
I expect the danger is that someone will lose money and blame the developers for as-yet unforeseen issues which can only be smoked out after a few years of heavy use. But a specific danger would be interesting to hear.
Don't you have to deliberately set up sync?
Funny story:

I was once visiting my friends house in the English midlands. I had been there once before, but this time I had to find the way there myself.

I managed to get the entire way to his street, but then I realized that I had forgotten his house number. He didn't pick up his phone, and I didn't want to knock on every door on the road. I was lost.

Then I realized that the previous time I had visited, I had logged on his wifi. It was from a different phone, but with Google's sync all my old wifi passwords had been synced. I didn't remember the name he had given it, but I could walk along the road until I suddenly connected.

Saved the night.

Your curt response oversimplifies the situation to the point where an uninformed reader could mistakenly believe the situation has no impact. Your comment should be read in the light of an engineer not only completely missing the point, but an example of the danger of this type of engineering analysis.

Minor technical decisions that "make sense" sometimes have severe technical repercussions.
Heh. When we have a variable name with a question mark to denote a boolean, as in "ready?", we pronounce the question mark "what" like an old-school English gentleman—so, "readywhat", or rather: "Ready, what?" It still cracks me up sometimes.
Thanks, this is wonderful. The foreword mentions a set of exercises that are only loosely coupled with the lectures themselves -- are these freely available anywhere?

the tilde notation is used for functions, e.g. you can say f(n) is ~g(n) and in that context has a rigorous meaning (limit of f(n)/g(n) is 1 as n goes to positive infinity). I haven't seen it being used with orders of growth notations (O, Θ or Ω) and my guess is that's ~O(1) is undefined or somebody's just taking liberties with the notations.
Pretty funny considering JSON is self described as "easy for humans to read and write." If your target is nontechnical folks, I wonder if it would be useful to go a step further and:

- Remove quotes from strings. They're already formatted differently.

- Remove array indices.

- Unescape strings.

The context and formatting should still be enough for devs, but I can't imagine quotes or indices do anything for nontechnical people.

e.g. ["\"foo\"","bar"] translates to:

"foo"

bar
We have Facebook in and working on G+ right now. The approach is completely different then Hootsuite where you have this kind of multicolumn dashboard instead we let you organise in single streams everything so that you have a proper unified timeline contextualized depending on your needs, we also extract people and all the media shared allowing you to search trough them. For twitter we also provide much more then just keyword search mentions and hashtag but we have a complete boolean filtering in realtime for the whole firehose that can nail down whatever you need filtering out the noise.

Yeah, this is a silly argument.

The downside to posting on the Internet is that you're using energy resources, whose production destroys the environment.
You are correct about the "one unscrupulous person" but VCs are hardly significant when you consider other options.

Every single aspect of business and government is susceptible to NSA snooping. Had I access and the lack of scruples, I'd much rather read selections from Goldman Sachs' gmail than any VC's; similarly I'd much rather listen to Obama's telephone calls than Paul Graham's. I'd much rather make my investments in the futures market based on e-mails from high-ranking officials in the DOD than on those from any social networking VC. I could make more money (or have more influence, etc.) that way.

As you say, it takes only "one unscrupulous person". So how common is unscrupulous behavior among highly-trained and highly-screened sysadmins? My bet, no less than 5 in every 100 would be unscrupulous, at least 1 in 100 would be absolute psychopaths, and possibly 1 in 200 would be unscrupulous enough and have sufficient social/business skills to take it to the bank in a big way (I'm talking serious crime/spying/nation-selling).

There may be "Snowdens" out there that we don't know about - persons who are now selling us (corporations, person, and nations) down the river for a few million dollars.

The NSA has put the nation in a very precarious situation.
One of the convenient things about DDG is that if your search results aren't to your liking, it's just a few additional keystrokes to pipe your query into another search engine via bang syntax:
https://duckduckgo.com/bang.html

I have also found DDG to be not as good for a lot of software/library/syntax related searches, and now I usually append "!g" to those queries. But those are maybe ~20-30% of my total search volume, so it's worth it to me.

I think it is fair to say that making DDG your primary search engine _today_ involves some compromise of overall search quality, but that's the price of supporting an evolving product.

Good article. The point applies to the corporate career man as well. The further up the ladder you go, the more responsibility, cash and prestige you get, but with the trade-off of less freedom and more work.
I had a differing high school experience where I had more male teachers than female and all of those male teachers were over 40 save 1 new teacher. It was a public school but perhaps some other bias caused this at the school.

Surprisingly I had 2 science teachers and 1 math teacher that were Engineers in previous careers but decided to move into teaching (far before retirement age).

Maybe with programs like http://www.teachforamerica.org/ we'll start seeing more professionals change careers into teaching.

Anecdote: I had a family friend move into teaching from engineering but he found it hard to find a job not teaching in the ghetto or for schools catering to troubled teens and after a few years moved back into engineering.

I've recently moved some of our servers over to Digital Ocean, but I'm still using AWS for DNS since their Route 53 weighted DNS with health checks work as a basic load balancer for our needs. I'm seeing DNS health checks that point at individual servers at Digital Ocean that are showing 0.91 for a status (1 being up and 0 being down. The alarms attached to the health checks keep flipping from "alarm" to "ok" and causing tons of alerts. As of about 15 minutes ago all of my checks started holding steady back at a status of 1 (ok) Good stuff :)
