Excellent Idea.

- Pros :

* This might lead to more people challenging their parking tickets.
* Those who give tickets will be forced to think twice before giving a ticket.
* Since enforcement people need to complete a fixed quota of revenue through parking tickets they will have to issue more tickets per day than before purely because more of them will get contested. This will mean people will have to take extra precautions while parking their car because probability of ticket has gone up.

- Cons:

* If too many people start contesting then the authorities(court) may simply take a hard stand and the ratio of cancelled tickets/challenged tickets may go down. This may hurt many genuine "I did not do anything wrong" people.

That sounds more like an argument for putting an interface in front of an implementation on the app side, and then mocking that interface in the test. Which is totally fine, because then you are isolating the custom implementation (a light shell to the external library). As opposed to mocking the external implementation in the test.

She is referring exactly the very exchange that took place in video linked in this submission I just described above. Where do you see anything denying past involvement in what you linked?

edit: I saw this (separate) tweet almost immediately after submitting, but HN went down when I tried to edit - https://twitter.com/byandreachang/status/441696297964158976. So she is claiming he said "No no no I was never involved." Which would imply that he wasn't telling the truth to either Newsweek or to this reporter, unless you believe Newsweek makes things up.

Well the newsweek article also included a back and forth with a police officer that likely never happened, and they also just published an article that "proves" heaven exists because a former scientist went into a coma and saw some pretty things while dreaming. I'm not sure there's a high barrier to meet here, or that we can't assume he was misquoted in the original article.

It was certainly a lot kore realistic than Gravity (which was massively hyped for its realism) and a lot more fun to boot. Of course, no space movie can do without plot device-related absurdities for the sake of drama, but at least it was entertaining and relatively clever.

One thing I liked too was that the crew was not composed of abrasive drama queens, which is refreshing considering the genre.

"Talk with people, get support, and try to find a way out."

This is very good advice, but so rarely followed.

The problem is, most programmers are shy and reserved, and besides, they don't understand (or at least I didn't) that their problems aren't unique. That hundreds and thousands of programmers before them have faced this exact problem and survived. And not just survived, but thrived.

In the long term, it doesn't matter. But in the short term, it can feel like the world is ending.

One of the interesting points made in that long Vanity Fair piece about the F-35 [1] is that drone operators just don't have sufficient field of vision to make assessments that a human pilot loitering over a battlefield can. I don't doubt that we'll get there eventually, but I think it's a pretty interesting argument (albeit one advanced by an A-10 pilot.)

I dunno, either you will reformat using some kind of automated tool before you check in or you won't.

If you will, then why not do it before the review and spare everyone the trouble? In a codebase that conforms to certain standards steps away from the standard stick out and distract from the content.

If you won't, then maybe it's good that people point it out so that you can fix it manually?

Of course there is a difference between a comment saying:
"Nit: Trailing whitespace"
and
"According to Section V, Subsection VII of the Coding Manual you should never add trailing whitespace. Please see that you don't." or some stuff like that. The latter is a passive-aggressive potshot, the former IMO is just a quick reminder.

Is there a particular reason why he'd be at risk for this versus any other well known wealthy person? Are lottery winners worried about this?
You assume he could. He may not actually still have access to it.

This situation isn't really comparable to the general public learning that somebody may or may not have a few million in investments and savings accounts. It is closer to the general public (excluding the police) learning that somebody may or may not have a few kilos of coke stashed somewhere in their home.

This hypothetical bitcoin wealth, and the hypothetical coke wealth differs from hypothetical 'traditional' wealth in that they can be burglarized or extracted via torture without attracting outside attention.
The claim that he'd have to publicly go onto MtGox to get funds out of his Bitcoin supply is absurd as well. If you're going to move a few million dollars, you can afford to do it right as a private sale using agents who won't blab to the press or anyone else (as long as you pay your taxes)

Everyone would know that an early adopter moved some coins, but the IP address of the Starbucks that his lawyer's tech guy makes the transaction from isn't going to leak much.

Re-read Smith's argument. The obligation is from the economy itself, in order to sustain itself. If it's not able to do so, it's on the way to inevitable decline. Though couched in moral terms, the argument's really an empirical one as I see it.

And of course: you can argue causality either way. Is sub-sustinence wage a cause or effect of decline? Most likely, either, depending on circumstances.

businesses are not charities.

And economies and labor supplies aren't bottomless extraction wells. There's a reason it's called enlightened self-interest. Which counters your "What they deem an acceptable level of profit for their own businesses is subjective, and up to them".

Agreed. Sean Parker is a great early trend spotter. One could argue that he got lucky, but not everyone could identify the early trends and then bet the farm (literally everything he had) on it. He's also socially polished (for better or worse) and understood the Silicon Valley game very well.

I had the exact same problem. That relocation package doesn't look so hot now, does it?

I now follow a few rules before accepting a package like this:

1. It must be pro-rata- That means that the amount you need to pay back must go down with time. So if you leave after 1 year of a 2 year notice period, you must only pay back 50%.

2. Like you discovered, the company can overpay for services and stick you with the bill. So always insist on paying for relocation yourself, and get money back via a expenses form. You will be short of cash in the short term, but it will save you pain in the long term.

3. If possible, try to negotiate a "hiring bonus." This may not be possible unless you are famous (or needed for a critical project), but if you can get the company to give you some extra cash, you can pay for relocation yourself. This is the best option, as you owe the company nothing.

Huh? Gravity was massively hyped for its special effects and the very real feeling of exhilaration it creates. It’s an awesome action movie with none of the stereotypical and boring tropes of action movies. (Also, the cinematography is very much above average and I personally really loved its rhythm of quiet and action.)

The depiction of space hardware is actually awesomely realistic (to some level of detail) but I don’t recall anyone praising it for realism beyond that. Because it very much isn’t. (Still, getting the actual space hardware right is something not many movies manage to pull off and pretty impressive on its own.) I don’t think it matters very much or reduces the enjoyment very much. This movie is very much not about space travel.

Europa Report is a bit cringe but probably the best you can do with that kind of budget and in that respect it’s pretty and also pretty realistic.
Regardless of what you think of Newsweek, they are savvy enough to know that a story like this would kick up a lot of secondary reporting and staging this and using an actor would essentially equate to suicide of their news organization.

rounding errors

You're being obtusely blind to my point. It is a rounding error. Those who do pay (and, incidentally, with the reliance of most ag on industrial nitrogen fixation, that's probably pretty much all of us, indirectly) are doing so because the need they have cannot be met through the nontransactional atmospheric supply.

What you're missing with your fixation on the atmospheric gasses bit is the remainder of total economic output ($70 trillion, give or take rounding errors of a few trillion), every last dollar of which requires humans, animals, plants, factories, fires, and god knows what else to have access to an atmosphere. Your $9.5 billion? 0.013% of the total.

Again: air has, to any reasonable approximation, zero economic value. It has tremendous utility value.

It also fits with Agile: Reduce your work unit to the smallest, so you deliver a continuous stream of improvements and reduce code inventory. Code inventory (the amount of code that is created but not on prod) adds complexity (eg it adds fear of deployment) and delays the time-before-feedback. To me it's more of a good management practice than a good coding practice.
While I do feel bad for this guy's current situation (he clearly doesn't want any attention... sort of like the bitcoin Satoshi...hmm!), I really don't understand why so many people are jumping to the conclusion that this story is wrong/fake/some sort of conspiracy or whatever.

If there were a reasonable way to settle it for sure, I'd bet a substantial amount of money that this is the bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto. The pieces laid out fit pretty well. I think there's a lot of weird denial going on because people built up this crazy fantasy of an assumed identity, highly advanced mathematician guy and learning the dude's real name is actually Satoshi Nakamoto and he's a pretty regular joe (for a near recluse) is causing a cognitive dissonance.
This:

“It seems like we're a great fit. I'm excited. Before we go any further exploring a potential deal I want to bring up that we're fully focused on building world class technology and on servicing and supporting our customers to massive success. What that means is that we're not investing in marketing and sales as heavily because our happy customers are referring us to others who could benefit from our product. Does that sound like a fair arrangement to you?”

How Your Byproducts Could Save Your Ass
When you find an issue with previous commit while adding new things, you can make a temporary commit, fix the issue, commit once again and reorder commits, then meld the fix into the previous one. I'm pretty comfortable with doing things like that but some guys not that much. You have to like this workflow and work from the start like this.

You can of course split a huge commit into smaller ones using sth like `git add -p` but it's way more work than just doing lots of small commits regularly and then squashing them into medium-sized commits before the review. I like to do temporary commits regularly as "checkpoints", meaning, "this code works", and anytime I make a stupid mistake and break something, I can analyze a short diff to find the bug I just introduced rather than trying to figure out the bug just by looking at the code. It's usually a lot faster for me.

>It is not a prime because every integer greater than 1, must be made by a unique product of prime numbers.

This Is Professionalism
I'd think Bitcoins would be a whole lot easier to trace than dollar bills.

The real reason behind this fear is that some consider Satoshi their hero and icon. Anything, therefore, that he doesn't or wouldn't (if you maintain this isn't the real Satoshi) approve of especially as it relates to himself inspires strong feelings and irrational justifications like "he could be kidnapped and tortured."

Or at least that's the only reason I can imagine this argument keeps coming up. Any other wealthy person could also be kidnapped and tortured. Heck, most wealthy (100m+) people probably have pretty valuable things just laying around their house that are far less traceable than Bitcoins.

This happens to people even if they were in the U.S. for decades. It's actually not about how long you've been in the U.S., it's about when did you start using English as your primary language. If they started using English (as their major language) when they were 20s, it is likely they would make mistakes about using tenses.
