One thing most commentators cannot seem to grasp: the German government hasn't applied for the injunction, and it isn't running the taxi service.

Government regulates private companies running the service. And those private companies are standing up to a shitty company that openly says that they won't comply with laws or verdicts, because they are the future. Or something like that.

Humans are not going to stop needing sleep, get distracted, or react slowly. All we can really do (and have done) is mitigate. Seat belts, driver training, etc.

Whatever problems a machine has, we can improve on them gradually. We can spend loads of time looking at test cases, and improvements are ratcheting.

I can't wait for self-driving cars. It will be a massive change to be able to go to sleep in your own comfy bed and wake up in time for a meeting in another town.

I also imagine traffic will be smoother, as tolerances don't have to be so wide.
loads fast :)
Sorry to dig, but I'm basically trying to figure out how a founder can properly reassure employees that they've planned for this sort of thing--also its converse, that an employee has a straightforward way of telling if they are being misled by their founder.

Design Controls for Medical Device Startups: Ultimate Guide
Have you compared the cost of your compute/VMs to Google Compute Engine? When I did, Azure was literally double the cost. And it has useful SSD options which Azure doesn't yet have.

But Azure is a fairly cool product overall.
The difference is expecting the other person to buy it for you. If a man expects the woman to buy him a vintage car or expensive speakers then it's the same thing.

I agree, compromise is incredibly important and it's all about finding someone whose core principles are the same as yours. For me, the thought of having a partner who would argue and resent me over me not buying an expensive diamond ring would suggest a clash in core principles. But I completely appreciate that that's my own view of it.
FWIW, Elon Musk did say the following on Twitter:

> To be clear, Tesla is strongly in favor of people being allowed to drive their cars and always will be. Hopefully, that is obvious.

> However, when self-driving cars become safer than human-driven cars, the public may outlaw the latter. Hopefully not.

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/577946893646364673

So his goal isn't to shore up support for legislation against non-autonomous cars anytime soon.
Is this amount vested over 4 years after the acquisition?
I agree. We focused on the controller use case as it made for a simpler API, but it was always my interest to make it more generalized. Just perhaps through a different product that was more open and generalized.

Things like having your phone cache webapps that could be casted over LAN (thus not requiring a persistent connection), this would useful for playing say games/apps when on planes or log cabins, etc.

Or having the phone create metascreen, synchronizing multiple monitors with fullscreen webpages open that you would split up the graphics of a game or movie to run across all the screens, thus making a bigger screen.

So many possibilities. Ultimately though, I'm still on the fence to if this is the best approach vs a mixed approach of using bluetooth, zigbee, wifi, http, websockets, normal sockets, and etc all abstracted to use whatever each device has to offer.

Here's the perfect conversation with my barista:

Barista: What can I get you?

Me: I'd like a tall iced americano please.

Barista: OK, that's $2.75

Me: Here you go <hands card>

Barista: Thanks.

<wait 1 minute>

Barista: Tall iced americano for theorique.

Me: Thanks.

Barista: Have a good one.

Me: You too.

Keeping the data trackers honest
I don't think "self-driving car" and "driveable car" are mutually exclusive. Self-driving mode for roads, highways, parking, commuting... manual override for the countryside.
I think it's unlikely.

1) Apple makes a fraction of its revenue from the app store, about 8%. And they're considered one of the two, if not the most, successful app store on the planet.

2) PCs, as opposed to mobile platforms, are open systems with a radically different distribution culture. You visit a website, click a button to launch an installer, choose a directory and go. Yes, the customer would prefer an app store, but giving MS a 30% cut when you drive all the traffic and marketing and downloads on your websites anyway? Unlikely. On Mobile there's not much of a choice.

It's obvious that a windows store will generate revenues and would be a good move. Mac and Linux have em, and if well executed on the biggest PC/Laptop platform in the world, then it can be a big deal. Just look at Steam, somehow it drives so many eyeballs that publishers are willing to give a cut to Steam to do something they're already doing themselves on their own website easily: distribution.

But steam being the favorite by far, still makes between 1 and 2 billion dollars in revenue.

In short it's pretty unlikely to see MS really thrive on app store revenue. It'll be a decent product, but it's probably more for improving the customer experience (through a properly curated store) and get people to like Windows again than to make a ton of money. For MS it seems it's still all about selling licenses to vendors, office and enterprise/education. It's kind of funny how extremely non B2C it is, and how B2B focused it really is, for a company that builds products used by billions of people. I think these latest moves have kind of shown MS understands that and is trying to get closer to (dealing with) the customer: build their own hardware, make their software free.

‘I-Squared’ immigration lobby hammers U.S. technology workers
In this seemingly sad story when a big international company comes over and bullies local businesses out of the market people very often forget the other part of the equation.

Yes, local businesses may suffer. But at the same time, the big bully actually makes it cheaper and more affordable for the consumers of that country to have that service. "Everyone's" got kids and families to feed, so to speak - including taxi passengers. Why is it that I should be more sympathetic to the local taxi drivers and not to the local passengers, who'd be saving money?

I just hope, you guys will like it, at first it looks difficult, then it became very easy.
It's not about feedback, it's about prerequisites.

The very minimum standards that players need to obey.

Customer feedback can come later, on top. But that's qualitatively very different.
Yeah, I'm fairly sure this was entirely intentional. Fits the futuristic western sounds nicely.
Not really. The impact of mechanisation was very bad to start with. Life expectancy fell to just 25 years during the first decade of the industrial revolution. When factory owners realised their workers were literally dropping dead on the factory floor they hurried to do something about it and conditions improved pretty quickly, but it's certainly the case that the industrialisation necessitated changes that hadn't been considered necessary before.

Life obviously wasn't brilliant prior to the spinning jenny, but it was definitely better than the 20 years that followed its proliferation. If Uber is really a parallel then the workers who drive for them are in for a couple of decades of having a pretty rubbish time.

This make me feel creepy though I can't see any good way to stop the technology from spreading. The only possibility is that more people get concerned and there will be a privacy-related push back against spying/watching drones in a way similar to one against Google Glass.

He also shared the numbers for his current project: http://www.marco.org/2015/01/15/overcast-sales-numbers
Does he consider himself a failure? Some percentage of very intelligent people just don't care about "success". They have rich inner lives and hobbies and interesting friends, if they can find some. It could be that he's found a job that doesn’t cause him much stress, that he excels at compared to his colleagues, and allows him to pay for the pleasures of being alive. Much of pure math is the pursuit of difficult problems that may or may not be of any use to anyone. You ever hear this line: "Winning the Fields medal tells you two things about a person, that they were capable of achieving great things and that they didn't."

It's not clear to me that he would have contributed more to the world had he become some high-status academic.

Different goals lead to different outcomes, regardless of innate ability.
I used AeroFS a bunch for private stuff, and it was okayish, but never a really friendly product. I've since transitioned to Syncthing, which is open source (in Go) and actually has better UI in my opinion (at least for my usage).
JavaScript is infinitely easier to use the more you learn it. It's kinda funny that way.
Really?

That's...silly, I guess?
I like the idea, but the pricing seems unreasonable. $15/mo/user (over 35 users) for what? With dropbox or box at least you get the storage space off-premise. All this does is sync your files across your own hardware.

I'm in a company looking for an enterprise-grade solution for our 5,000+ users, but this quickly became a non-option when I saw the pricing.
Recently as an exercise I worked through the examples in Sandi Metz's "Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby" using Javascript. To approximate her examples I did have to do a few pretty unintuitive things (for example use .call to invoke parent constructors, whereas in Ruby the native syntax allows it). But it wasn't anything that mind-bending to wrap your head around, and it was learned in just a few minutes (learn is a strong word, remember, realize or connect the dots might be more applicable).

That I suppose is the core of the "I hate JS" arguments, to get it to do what you want, it has a slightly unintuitive non-syntactical way of solving it's problems. That of course, is only the case if you intend to replicate the programming styles the syntax of other languages gives you. I don't think you should. And now with ES6, we have those other styles in our syntax, so it's even less of a problem. Hate on JS all you want, but it's probably not so amenable to you because you're using a metal file when you really need a belt sander, close but not quite right.
The only pre-selection process happening here is people who take themselves too seriously and get offended easily are less likely to contribute.

If I would have been the guy who wrote that piece of code and read this I would have realized 1. I made a mistake and 2. got roasted by Linus for it in a somewhat funny way.

Wouldn't look much more into it.

Why do we enjoy celebrity roasting shows as comedy but when someone does the same thing on a mailing list everyone gets offended?

It does take a bit of self confidence to take it though which not all of us have but this is a good opportunity to work on it.
Has the War on Drugs Been Lost?
No I didn't. I thought that Rush had taken my money in the first place for the album, and should have done a good job on that so didn't deserve me buying it again!

It would be interesting to hear it though. The bass drum is completely lost in the first one (no punch at all).

Their most recent album was also full of reverberation and distortion, which made listening to it in the car very very difficult. It fared better in a quieter environment I thought.

How long have you been playing bass? In a band or anything? All good fun!
Yeah over 10k mods in the first week.. Crazy!

A couple of other things I do w/ Mithril.js ( http://lhorie.github.io/mithril/ )

- write documentation for the API methods (and arguments, return values, and arguments to callbacks and their return values, if applicable) and show examples of usage

- follow semantic versioning (x.x.X for bug fixes, x.X.x for backwards-compatible changes, X.x.x for breaking changes)

- consider versioning documentation in addition to releases if your project can be used as mission critical software (e.g. if it's a framework). This can be as simple as creating a task that copies a snapshot of the docs to an archive

- maintain a change log

- make sure your release is on the master branch (not gh-pages) if you're publishing to component.github.io

- setup channels of communication for discussion and support (gitter.im, IRC, mailing list, etc)

- create a tag in StackOverflow.com
That's what they're doing to the music that people upload, yes. Nobody's literally sticking a CD into a YouTube server, so what's on the CD is kind of beside the point.

The parent poster's observation is that labels are uploading different, less-compressed mixes to YouTube now than the mix they release on CD, so that they sound better given YouTube's normalization.
It makes a lot more sense once you come to realize that these places aren't about promoting and driving social mobility, and rather they exist to sustain existing positions by strengthening and fortifying class divide. (all the while collecting a nice tithe in the process) In essence, they serve the wealthy by keeping the wealthy, wealthy. They earn their keep in terms of donations for the service they provide.

The few token kids who come from the real world who are given a free ride each year are there just to provide window dressing. Most of them indeed seem out of place, and often have looks of dejection on their faces.

I have some personal experience with the Ivy League and I was really unimpressed. Since choosing a school is such a big gamble, especially in an increasingly competitive world, I don't want to make claims as to what people should do... but...

I really do like the strong public university systems on the west coast. They are actually truly diverse places, and while some may be resource lean, I think they tend to lead to a lot more social mobility.

If you ask me, I think we'd be a whole lot better off if these places weren't unconditionally lent the credibility they enjoy.

No, to accept the possibility that we will need to institute economic policy that decreases the supply of unskilled labor without punishing the unskilled laborers for working below capacity.

We've done it before and we'll do it again, but in a society that (correctly) sees hard work as a personal virtue and is controlled by people with a vested interest in conflating the personal virtue with the societal virtue of promoting hard work, there's a fight every time the policies need tweaking.
What could be tremendous about that statistic? It seems like you are trying to contrast a small number with a big number to give a sense of some false magnitude. I could say people only murder other people once in every 100 billion seconds - thats tremendous!!
If you have a product (any product) in daily use by 30 staff, then switching costs (productivity hit) likely become the dominant factor in making a decision. I would be shocked that $500/mth comes into the picture when the salary expense has gotta be north of $100,000 a month for 30 staff.
To add: few supermarkets accept credit cards. Neither does the public railway for short distance travel. Or pretty much anybody else.

Might be because we were able to keep the middle man (CC companies) out by having the banks cooperate on electronic cash directly - since the 80s.

Uber is just another such middle man we have no need for (and at 20% commission, they make CC companies look cheap).
clearly we need the ability to travel. allowing every person on the planet (with sufficient money anyway) to ride around in their very own 3 ton machine, moving at 80 mph is not the right way to do it. a better world would have different vehicles than cars.

global climate destruction and natural resource exhaustion are realities. this is not overblown rhetoric. we are removing millions of years of fossilized plant-collected sunlight, previously sequestered deep in the crust of the Earth, and burning it at a rate so fast that the biosphere of the planet cannot keep up with the changes in the climate. there are other fossil fuels as well that contribute to this besides just the petroleum burned by cars, but petroleum burned by cars is a huge factor here.

seriously, you shouldn't be dismissive of these problems. there is a basic need to provide transportation to people. we have done a terrible job of finding a good solution to that needs. what we do now with cars is one of the most destructive and unsustainable ways possible to solve the problem.
I think a lot of the demerits in Skylines exist within the core game of Sim City 5. The problem is, as I see it, that the obvious marketing (buy more things, here, get this Nissan leaf station for your town for free!!!), and the lies (it has to be online, simcity wouldn't work any other way), made players unwilling and unable to forgive simcity's foibles in the game. It was obvious people were being treated like a resource to be extracted, not a demographic of people who want to have a need fulfilled.

All games have failings, how many failings, and the degree people are willing to forgive them is the thing that changes.

I think after the anger of simcity 5, people are willing to forgive a lot of foibles, and despite that, Skylines doesn't seem to have many, it's pretty solid.

I think if you were (as a third party) struck by an uninsured taxi/ride share driver (or underinsured driver whose insurer won't cover the incident because he was transporting a passenger), you'd change that tune with a quickness.
Seems like a good point. What it should be is an increased gradient for the next 30 customers, i.e. after 30, each additional is $30 a month, and then after 60, each additional is back to $15. This would get rid of the cliff at 30, but still give you guys the same revenue at 60.
>His 'theory' (highly flawed, I think) is that one needs excellent memory to be able to make decisions now, without needing to take the time to research them.

I don't see any flaw in the theory. When you code for example, if you don't know in advance about several idioms, data structures, algorithms etc that's (most of the time) not something that you will make up later by researching and changing your program. It's simply something that will take you down a narrower path and constrain your programming.

I'm not talking about knowing the details of algorithm X, or how to implement it from memory. But if you don't know it's existence even, it wont be an algorithm you'll consider when you write your program.
A somewhat dual question, can anyone offer advice on what to look for when negotiating an offer with an early-stage startup with a view towards achieving an outcome in this range? What are some red-flags in an equity offer that suggest it won't be worth what it seems? What are some reasonable stipulations/demands to make as the employee, to protect yourself and your stake?

I've been told that there are so many loopholes that equity in the range of half a percent or so is mostly worthless after dilution and taxes. But it seems there are folks here saying they had equity in that range which was worth a lot.
Well that's sad, Ubuntu phone was the only good thing. Android is boring.
No, I will consider buying it again at some point perhaps, but it is sad they didn't do it right the first time, particularly as they're a 3-piece and there is so much space for them each :-(

It's odd how much difference a mix makes: listen to Deep Purple's Roger Glover remixes of earlier DP albums (subtle), or Dream Theater's "official bootlegs" of Scenes From A Memory (massively different, like a different album).
The code is not obfuscated so you can inspect Assembly-CSharp.dll through ILSpy to get a feel for the game logic.

There are no restrictions on what your mod can do - modders just have to figure out how to do it.
Worth pointing out that when people throw numbers around the stock value alone may sound impressive but that has to be compared against the opportunity cost that's usually associated with that route. Usually those options are handed out because the employee is accepting less cash or other compensation than another employer might pay then for similar work.

Walking away with $750k after 5 years might sound fantastic, but in some cases the person might actually be worse off relative to someone (say a senior role at an established firm) that had a package of higher salary, sizeable annual cash bonus and other perks often not found at startups. One needs to study the whole picture, not just some cash out amount at a liquidity event.
It would be tough for me to distill it out, because he's also the best leader I've ever worked for. My two Matasano co-founders also worked with him, and one of our mottos was "WWxxD" (s/xx/his initials).

I think a lot of successful founders are successful once, and only plan on being successful once, and --- especially if it's their first company --- that changes the dynamics.
