Overvaluation is fine if they have put in place protections for their capital, like liquidation preferences and anti-dilution clauses for down rounds.

In that case by pumping up a companies valuation in a financing event they're able to win the deal and put a stake in the ground for any acquisition offers.

If the company is acquired for less than the last valuation they still get all their capital returned to them under the liquidation preference as well as a percentage of the proceeds.

Texas has always had a huge tech industry presence, particularly the telecom industry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecom_Corridor (and there's also a lot of tech industry here outside the Corridor proper, too)

Personally, I love living and working in the suburbs of Dallas, and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
It varies by state, but in Texas at least, major (>$5,000) improvements to a property are supposed to be reported. You could just not report it, but that's technically illegal. Also, one thing that makes reporting compliance relatively high is that there's a separate registration requirement (for different reasons) on the construction contractor's side: contractors undertaking home-improvement projects of >$5,000 are required to use a specific type of escrow account to hold the money temporarily, in order to resolve any disputes that might arise. There are contractors who will take your payment in cash and not register an escrow account, but reputable contractors won't risk that. And if you go that route, you aren't protected against what the escrow account is designed to protect against, that the contractor does shoddy (or no) work and just walks away with your cash. So people tend to do that only if they're having the work done by friends/family.

"4.0-6039 - Add Wiimote Battery Controls by RachelBryk

Is it believable that two years ago, someone actually requested a feature for low battery on emulated Wiimotes? Is it even less believable that someone implemented it, and then someone else actually merged it? Crazy!

Yes, now those of you using emulated Wiimotes can live out your dream of setting the battery to any value that the Wiimote can send to the console. From full (255) to empty (0) and the game will react accordingly. Like those low battery warnings popping up on save screens? Or how about fullscreen messages telling you your Wiimote batteries are low? Now you can have them whenever you want!"

So I looked up the developer:
http://nintendoenthusiast.com/news/developer-rachel-bryk-dea...

This is probably old news to the people who care about this emulator, but it's a very sad feeling of loss that I have:
Thinking about how something like the above was implemented as what was probably a kind of an inside joke, and knowing that their community lost that contributor forever.
To add a few more things
- No more "language was inserted into the bill at the last moment by an anonymous 'staffer' "
- All bills have to have an evaluation clause where they describe the criteria for deciding if they are working or not and if they fail them then revoking / fixing
- Bills cover a single subject and dont attach a bunch of irrelevant stuff
- I would say 6 years max should be plenty then they have to skip at least one cycle
- term limits for supreme court

Then there's the really radical
- All congress people and staffers
+ Kids go to public school ... if its good enough for my kids, its good enough for yours
+ use the VA for healthcare ... same reason
+ Get a nice 401(k) just like we have to live with (the people should get to pick the funds they get to invest in for extra credit)
+ Get fired if they are late 3 times like a large number of low-wage employees are ....

etc. etc.

What It's Really Like to Make a Website Like
This is an interesting point I hadn't seen made before. If it applies here, then what you're saying is that the structure of the code itself doesn't matter, so much as the parameters encoded into it --- those parameters being available only to people who can bankroll the trading desks that generate the information from which they're derived.

In that scenario, the "code" itself (as we understand "code") is a red herring, right?

I'm surprised if this is what actually happened; it's too reasonable-sounding.

From what I understand, it's still in the POC stages.

I agree that the site was very light on details, and quite pr-ey though.
Thanks m3hashmi
I agree and it is not good, at all. There is a serious impedance mismatch between industry and academia. The former wants them young and barefoot and the latter hasn't figured out how to convey the (at this point in time) substantial body of work in the field to those that elect for a 4 year (!) CS degree.

Compare to state of affairs in medicine, as an example.
Thank you! I'm glad someone cares about vim functionality enough to work on it.

There is definitely a lack of transparency in venture funding, and studies show overall how VC's have been barely breaking even. Most of the big name investors were successful entrepreneurs (e.g. Andreessen and Netscape, e.g. Khosla and Sun, etc) who are assumed to be good investors. In reality, if most of these founders put their money in standard index funds, they would have better returns adjusted for risk, but without all of the publicity that they crave.

Also, the quote attributed to Andreeseen at the end was originally from Warren Buffet's 2001 letter to shareholders. "After all, you only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out." http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett

Hell, it prevents interop between different versions of Revit. Automatic "upgrade" if you touch a file, and there's no way to save back to previous formats.

But since you can't even buy a copy of Revit anymore (subscription licensing only), I guess that no longer matters.

Anyway, I was referring to the 2-letter command system. I think Revit is the only piece of software I've ever encountered it in.
I can subscribe to only one location ??? This should be for multiple locations ..... a part from that its awesome to know new people in your surroundings ....
This might work if you do background checks like a daycare center would do. If not you are asking for legal trouble if one or some of the parents or babysitters have a criminal sex offender background with children.

In the Catholic Church all people who volunteer their services for the church when children are around have to complete a "Protecting God's Children" workshop and pass a background check. They also use a buddy system to make sure nobody is alone with a child.

That might be a reason that your church rejects it as well.

> If your main goal is to get as many contributors as possible, perhaps JavaScript would be the best choice.

Hi, I just wanted to mention I have started such a project: https://github.com/deathcap/voxel-clientmc - a Minecraft-compatible client written in JavaScript.

It sure could use more contributors =) help welcome if anyone is interested. Currently not many features are implemented, but you can connect to a Minecraft server (works with the official Minecraft server and its modifications, but I usually test with Glowstone or Glowstone++ for a 100% open source stack) in your web browser via the WebSocket/Minecraft proxy https://github.com/deathcap/wsmc. The protocol decoding is implemented by PrismarineJS https://github.com/PrismarineJS/node-minecraft-protocol, much of the client logic by mineflayer, and the WebGL voxel rendering using http://voxeljs.com.

JavaScript has some interesting benefits for game development, I enjoy its dynamicism; plugin loading is a breeze. Since it is already a "scripting" language, it is easily modifiable by third-parties. Some game engines have taken to implementing a second language runtime, for example Minetest and MC-Server are written in C++ but allow addon development in Lua. The Minecraft modifications ComputerCraft and OpenComputers also allow in-game programming using Lua. ScriptCraft, a CanaryMod plugin for Minecraft, allows writing plugins in JavaScript. etc. But when everything is written in JavaScript, there is no platform/addon dichotomy. In voxel.js (especially https://github.com/deathcap/voxel-engine-stackgl), much of the core functionality is even implemented in "plugins".

Incidentally I checked your hiring page a few days ago and found only non-engineering jobs listed. Will definitely send you an e-mail though.

I hope you don't mind me saying, the hiring page required me to turn on cookies. For a privacy-focused company I think it would look best to not set cookies at all. (Or use cookies only for personal settings like language selection, like DuckDuckGo does.)

Edit: Can't find a public key for Frank nor Travis on pgp.mit.edu, will e-mail JshWright, okay?
Yes, but being unwilling to spend 1 day adjusting to a different look is a pretty silly reason to continue to run a bunch of spaceheaters in your house that, as a byproduct, happen to produce some light.

Neutral in that the police and prosecutors verify that the claims by the victim are actually true otherwise anyone could use the police/prosecutors for destroy someone that they didn't like.

Much in the same way that ICE has acted like the enforcement arm of the RIAA/MPAA when taking down domains. Barely (or not at all) verifying that the domains were being used for infringement (instead just taking a list given to them by the RIAA/MPAA and acting on it blindly).
In practice it wouldn't make much sense to cache whole query responses to GraphQL queries because your hit rates would be too low due to the variability of the queries. You end up pushing a lot of the caching to the client. That's not really a big issue because if you're writing something like a Android or iOS app because you already need to be caching lots of data on the client-side to make the app responsive.

On the server you end up caching at lower levels in the stack. For example a query for user(id: 123456) {id, name} is going to need data from a key-value store containing user info. That access can easily be cached with something like memcache, saving load on the database. Cache-invalidation problems are also much easier to solve at these layers.
Doesn't overpaying help pump up the company and solidify the idea that it's "worth" whatever that inflated valuation is? In other words, it's a signaling game as much as an honest appraisal?

Did you port from Go to Nim by hand, or was it automated in any way?

I thought that Go would be the last language I'd write by hand. Previously I wrote C++, which was a dead end in that I could never use tools to parse it and translate to a new language. But with Go it should be much easier to do that if/when I ever decide to switch to something else.

The performance of the emulator in browser (compiled via emscrimpten) is very impressive! It felt like solid 60 FPS to me. I wonder how the Go version compiled via GopherJS would compare? Have you tried?

The binary size difference is quite striking. Linux distro packagers are going to like Nim, I think.
Mobile browsers attempt to make content more prominent than navigation. This matters a lot on e.g. mobile news sites.

Unfortunately the algorithm they use breaks horribly on comment threads, because it decides that long comments are content, while short comments are not important. (At least, this is my deduction from seeing it in action.)

You'll see it on reddit, forum threads, and here on HN -- so this is not exactly a layout bug, but a problem with how Firefox/Chrome try to apply some simple semantics to web content.
The js engine is separate from the rendering engine as far as I know. There might be some exciting new js engines written in Rust, but I don't think they would be part of Servo per se.
