What I've seen happen, at least with doctors, is a bunch of them get together and from a group/partnership and then the group negotiates with hospitals. This has the advantage of increased leverage as a group and thus much better conditions than just an individual working for a hospital, but you aren't getting high-finance rich with that arrangement.

"Yet, [old movies] are getting better although not as high as old movies."

1) Don't forget that the raters are self selecting. For very recent movies, the ratings will only be from people who were attracted by hype, and were excited enough to immediately rate a film.

2) All of those ratings will eventually drop as people outside of the target audience(outside of the natural consumers of initial hype) rate the film, reverting the rating to the mean.

3) Most people that are aware of a particular older film are people who remember it because it was/is a favorite, or people who encountered it recently and found it interesting enough to research it on imdb, both probably tending to skew positive.

If you were able to collect the changes in ratings over time, I'd bet that dip of low ratings would always be around the same distance from the present.

I might be off on this, though, because there will always be a qualitative separation between movies that were ratable at the time of release, and movies released pre-imdb.
Yeah I thought the same thing. Didn't get the job and then got a better one just a week later, so it worked out. I hope them the best, but they act like a startup even though they've been around for a long time.

The Whisper Systems people and the community are already discussing this issue, at least for the released Android app:

https://github.com/WhisperSystems/TextSecure/issues/127

For iOS I believe that decrypting the binary and doing an objdump, then comparing the resulting assembly is a reasonable approach to ensuring that two builds do the same thing. Comparing objdump results won't protect against particularly insidious backdoors like those injected through data resources or binary headers, but in tandem with a source audit should give a fairly respectable degree of assurance.

This process would be quite easy to automate.

Other comments are arguing its a difference of semantics. I disagree, I think it's a difference of perspective. The idea of MVP is your idea of the minimum set of functionality that represents a product that you want to test out to determine if you have something that's worth something to someone else.

He's coming at it from the perspective of the user's use of your idea and I think that's not what most people think of when thinking about MVP. Certainly I never did. If you come at it from that way, you never know you have something until after it's been proven viable ... how is that even useful?

Based on that, people don't want it.

With regards anonymous posting, just create a throw-away account and there you are.

What are you really asking?
I don't think it's hard to get into a good hedge fund, if you're in the right location (New York, possibly Boston or Chicago).

If you keep building your tech skills, you can get into a good hedge fund job after a few years. Just treat it the same as interviewing for a good tech job. Hedge funds more selective but also more meritocratic and predictable than Valley firms. The problem in the Valley is that, although it has as many smart people, pound for pound, as Wall Street... the Valley has more stupid people (and fewer smart people) in decision-making roles.

Startups aren't inherently damaging. The problem is that they're volatile and experience constant reorgs. Your job might be totally different in 6 months. Or it might not exist. This leads to a "job hopping" pattern that, from a more conservative finance perspective, makes you look bad. Banks and hedge funds are more stable so it's rare that someone is that unlucky as to have, say, 6 jobs in 5 years through no fault of their own. But it happens all the time in VC-funded startups.
I'd say it's the behavior of humans: selfishness is in our nature.

The same situation plays out time and again with cellphone towers. People bitch about poor coverage, but as soon as a tower is going to be installed in their neighbourhood... :-)

Similarly, people buy houses under the foot of airport runways, complain about the noise, and eventually the airports close...

Me too. But I think it'd likely have been a worse movie, overall.
Another thing that people like about the open floor plan is that it "looks good" and has the "startup feel".

I think this is the simplest explanation for the "inexplicable" trend. Companies see other young, hip, growing companies/startups do it, so they feel that they should do the same thing if they want to be a young, hip, growing startup.

I think you're right that the scenario is unlikely to happen, and I think it is for this and related reasons an OSS client actually offers you a great deal of additional safety over a closed-source one:

1) It allows you to ensure that your personal copy doesn't contain code that does overtly malicious things, like backdoor your computer.

2) An open-source client may not be an automatic certificate of good faith, but a closed-source client is practically a certificate of bad faith/incompetence when your business is security. (indeed, this scenario is predicated on the vendor attempting to capitalize on that very fact - and even if successful, the base-rate probability is still massively in favor of OSS)

3) It is very difficult to hide malicious code in a binary for which the source is available for comparison. It is comparatively very easy to hide malicious code in a closed-source binary.

4) If there is cleanly-building source available, not only users but many vendors (including most Linux distros) will package their own version from that. Many people who don't build the source themselves will still get a clean version.

5) The risk of discovery would be high and the consequences, catastrophic. Sooner or later someone will compile your source, compare the result with your binary, and find something suspicious.

It is overwhelmingly unlikely that an attacker would opt for this strategy. OSS is much safer.
Not at all.

If the EU and Brazil are using US cables, the US is just interfering with its own cable. Fair enough. Entirely different if the US attacks a cable it does not own. It changes the game. It could be considered a hostile act against allies.

Is it? I just updated to Cyanogen 10.2.1 and TextSecure is definitely a different app from Messaging. Or is this an 11.x feature?

Edit: Oh, I see. Added as a silent feature in 10.2 messaging app. There is no visible indication that secure communication is happening (or possible). Ok. Better than nothing, and a good default.
Which official API? And... the saved articles are not public. If you are referring to the new hn.algolia.com this is far (rate limit?) from being a data liberation initiative. Even Google and Facebook are much better.
Your whole post is based on a false premise, which is that customers have a problem with the status quo. I think internet companies have a problem with the status quo. They want somebody else to build the fat pipes crucial to their business. That's why Google fiber is a marketing and lobbying tool and not a real business.[1] But I don't think consumers here are any less happy than in other places. According to Akamai's state of the internet, the U.S. ranks #8 in average connection speed, ahead of places like Sweden. They have no reason to be. I've never heard someone outside my engineer friends complain about the lack of gigabit or even 50 Mbps+ connections. As long as its enough for Hulu, people are happy.

There are also other problems with your post. For example, we didn't sell off monopoly rights. Its been illegal for municipalities to grant exclusive franchises since 1992. Also, franchises don't come without strings attached. Here in Phila, Comcast has to run cable to a bunch of poor neighborhoods and charge $13 per month for service. Distribution requirements and regulated rates exist in the cable world.

I don't trust Brazil at all. The government is a bunch of communists, friends of dictators (Maduro, Castro bros, african 'kings', iran ayatolah, etc). If you don't know, brazilians are ones of the most monitorated people in the globe. We are this time passing through a biometric registration, which soon will be compulsory. Illegal phone wiretapping is very common, and even the legal ones always end in the media, being used to character assassination. There are passed laws that will make long-range RFID obligatory in cars.

You have to trust everyone who claims the binary is clean, yes. But the vendor must also trust all these conspirators! And they can't bribe everyone - it only takes one honest guy with a decompiler and it's game over.
Look, you can't have it both ways. Either population density helps or hinders a fiber rollout--if it helps, then why is the urban U.S.A. just as far behind as the rest? If it hinders, then why do HK and SK have it when NYC doesn't?

As for the remainder--well of course they're not making use of a service that they have no way to buy in the first place...and your insinuations remind me of the people in the early 19th century who howled that the first locomotives' 10 mph crusing speed was far faster than any sane person would ever want to travel.

MVP definitely means something. It means "my opinion of what we must build to ship something."

In other words, its a meaningful definition that is absolutely meaningless. It is a fancy term introduced to allow circular arguments when pushing for your own pet feature: "this feature is needed for the MVP, because it's a feature that must be there for the product to work and be tested."

US achieved its greatness because of free flow of movement of people and their ideas. Roads and freeways and highways were plenty, fast and easily accessible, to both sellers of services/goods and consumers.

In this new world, internet access is the new road. Good internet access will generate new services/goods and encourage consumption by consumers. This will inevitably lead to snowball effect of creating more wealth for the society.

US shouldn't be held hostage by a few people in an executive suite in Philadelphia who want to make a few bucks so they can own a few extra mansions and a private jet or 2. US is a greater country than that.

Take a look at my undo example implemented in about 5 lines of relevant code
http://swannodette.github.io/todomvc/labs/architecture-examp.... Note the render time when undoing changes, much less than 16ms. That's undo playback at 60 frames per second.

The ability to snapshot the application state is not a small thing, it's a global application concern with lots of benefits besides user level undo - UI rollback on network request failure, app state restoration sans boilerplate when the user cancels something, simpler model for offline applications, and UIs based on scrubbing come immediately to mind.

I'm sure you could achieve similar or better performance in a system that relies on events with batching and mutable objects but I'm not convinced that it can be done as simply as we can do it today in Om.

There is a a potential problem with using Sailfish on just any device. Sailfish strongly relies on gestures which includes gestures from the edge of the screen. Jolla handset (same as N9 and N950) is designed with that in mind. I.e. its ergonomics account for such gestures (flat surface, no bumps and so on). Many other handsets aren't designed with that in mind and can be irritating to swipe from the edge. So if there are good ones which fit this kind of usage, that would be great. At least keep this in mind and test before you buy one for that purpose.
