Thanks for your thoughtful comment. We had yearly prices before but most people expect a price per month (our prices are pretty low so many people assumed our yearly price was our monthly one). I agree that now it is hard to make out the minimum order size, you need to do x10x12. Would it be an improvement if we add '$390 per user pack' to the list of items below the price to save you this calculation? BTW If you want to try it out we do have a money back guaranty.

I am curious why you folks didn't go the RISC-V route (open source) and create a new architecture for all to use and expand? With patents etc. i fear the Mill is going the Tilera route and won't be heared much from in a couple of years.

Interesting concept though!
Image processing primarily: user uploads an image to S3, a thumbnail version gets created automatically. Now, we'll probably put it behind some of our APIs that see huge swings in traffic. It'll be nice to not pay to be running even a single x-large instance at night when the API is only seeing a few hundred hits per hour.

No. Don't waste their time, energy, and money to "network" if you have no intention of taking their offer (if they even make one at all).

Arrangements "made and paid for" can be reused, it's not like they're going to waste it if you don't go.

Also if company B competes with company A /at all/ and you go out there on their dime to "learn some of the technology" and they find out you had already accepted an offer from the other company before you even went out there, you'll probably wind up with networking experience that would be better for you not to have.

This is a very good and thought-provoking essay for a short blog post, and I have already shared it in a Facebook community heavily populated by professional mathematicians (where the moderator, with a Ph. D. in math from Berkeley, has given it a thumbs up). Thanks for sharing.

I really like the overall point of the post that mathematics once known can be forgotten or neglected, and mathematics written up for mathematics journals can be difficult to understand. Professor John Stillwell writes, in the preface to his book Numbers and Geometry (New York: Springer-Verlag, 1998):

"What should every aspiring mathematician know? The answer for most of the 20th century has been: calculus. . . . Mathematics today is . . . much more than calculus; and the calculus now taught is, sadly, much less than it used to be. Little by little, calculus has been deprived of the algebra, geometry, and logic it needs to sustain it, until many institutions have had to put it on high-tech life-support systems. A subject struggling to survive is hardly a good introduction to the vigor of real mathematics.

". . . . In the current situation, we need to revive not only calculus, but also algebra, geometry, and the whole idea that mathematics is a rigorous, cumulative discipline in which each mathematician stands on the shoulders of giants.

"The best way to teach real mathematics, I believe, is to start deeper down, with the elementary ideas of number and space. Everyone concedes that these are fundamental, but they have been scandalously neglected, perhaps in the naive belief that anyone learning calculus has outgrown them. In fact, arithmetic, algebra, and geometry can never be outgrown, and the most rewarding path to higher mathematics sustains their development alongside the 'advanced' branches such as calculus. Also, by maintaining ties between these disciplines, it is possible to present a more unified view of mathematics, yet at the same time to include more spice and variety."

Stillwell demonstrates what he means about the interconnectedness and depth of "elementary" topics in the rest of his book, which is a delight to read and full of thought-provoking problems.

The government is really making strides to improve technical acquisition, and acquisition in general. The original healthcare.gov semms to have been a wake-up call that will permanently stick and improve government service delivery. I would actually like to do a tour at some point, but I don't think they would take me.

Having said that, there is one three-letter monolith that commands the plurality of the Federal budget and shows absolutely no inclinations to change. They have resisted intrusion by USDS and 18F thus far, and I can tell you from direct experience that their information systems and policies are atrocious. Hopefully 18F, USDS, and similar efforts can eventually penetrate the Five-Sided Playpen, but it is going to be a long, hard slog.
Aren't you tired of those shitty titles to attract everyone ?
Maybe. More asset classes shouldn't hurt, although at some point they may not help much (new ones may be highly correlated to some combination of the previous ones) and lower fees are nice. For bigger portfolios WF's single-stock approach may add enough value to compensate for these. I'm sure both companies have simulations proving they're better...

If using the commandline is the main problem, why not use a git GUI interface? (Would Github's be of any use?)

I'm not saying learning the commandline is not important, but that would split the learning load so they only have to learn one new concept at a time (only cmd or vcs instead of both together).
Open Source Spring Cleaning
No surprises there.

I get deeply frustrated (though I understand where they are coming from) when governments make the argument that they can't take advantage of this or that cloud service because the service's security isn't vetted. Clearly, the security in the backing systems owned by the government isn't sufficiently vetted either, so they're sacrificing velocity for non-security.

I know, it's a flippant attitude. Blame a lousy day. ;)

That being said, you are welcome to copy anything we do if you would rather do it yourself.

I'm happy that it works for you. I'm just sharing my opinion of the framework so please continue to use whatever makes you happy.

As far as using services to communicate, I personally believe that its simpler to emit events. My absolute favorite way is how Mithril makes properties accessible anywhere. That way, you can just pass references around. It's not so important how you communicate, but the complexity of doing so. I believe that in your last sentence, you might have described the point better than I. It's a complicated beast. For that reason, you have to work within its domain. You can't invent your own way of doing things. You can't apply your trade in the way you want to. I suggest you play around with a React app and pay attention to the best practices of organizing your own javascript code more than what React itself does. It's refreshing.

And North Carolina places a particular emphasis on paving every road. It's pretty much impossible to find a public road in NC that has street signs and stop signs but is unpaved. The only ones I can think of offhand are in state parks. By contrast, on a recent trip through western Maryland there were about two major roads that were paved for their entire length and the rest reverted to gravel in the more remote areas.
I have no idea if there's a bubble or not, but I have noticed that pretty much all the people saying there is have a vested interest in there being one (people who make money from other asset classes than private equity), and all the people saying there isn't are people with a vested interest in there not being one (accelerators, VCs and founders). And then there's the press and the pundits who say there is or isn't depending on the phase of the moon or something.

I think that might indicate no one really knows. If it makes a difference to your prospects make sure you have a strategy for dealing with it bursting and a strategy for it not bursting. Don't pick a side.

I feel like people need multiple-pass compilers for their logical arguments.

On the face of it, your analogy kind of makes sense. Both trucks and women (<strike>Allegedly. I don't know if your claim is actually based on fact?</strike> edit: link in parent seems to back up this claim) use a disproportionate amount of a shared resource, so they should be made to pay more for that use.

The second pass of your compiler should catch the little hitch here, though: Truck drivers and transportation companies can choose to exit the market (or not enter the market in the first place), if the costs of doing business are too burdensome. I don't really think that kind of option exists in the same way for women?

Unless you're suggesting that women should similarly "exit the market" (Hurry up and die? Become men?). At least, I certainly hope that's not your proposed solution.

> The point is that the two situations are very similar in spirit.

You keep asserting that, but you have failed to even begin to argue that.

> rather, I think that any retroactive decision in guidance/policy/interpretation is prohibited by the constitution.

You are welcome to think that, however, that's not consistent with the history of the use "ex post facto law", which was a legal term of art already in existence at the time the Constitution was written, and whose scope of meaning in the Constitution since, practically, the ink was still wet on the Constitution.

> IRS tax avoidance constitutes criminal punishment.

No, tax avoidance (which is structuring activities in awareness of the law so as not to incur tax liability) isn't something that is subject to criminal punishment; it is perfectly legal.

Nonpayment of tax isn't legal, but isn't generally criminal either.

Tax evasion is criminal, but involves things like false representation to avoid tax liability being correctly assessed. Following the then-current IRS guidance isn't evasion, and doesn't retroactively become evasion when the guidance changes, even though the change in guidance may change the IRS's computation of tax due.

Prediction: Amazon buys a cloud IDE platform.
There's no similarity in this debate between accessing something private (that the owner didn't want published) and distributing/sharing new copies (or the same copy) of something published.

Every video copied to Facebook in the discussion here was originally a legitimate video uploaded to YouTube for public viewing.

If you want to continue the actual discussion about the place of the public library versus online sharing of ideas, you'll find only one reasonable distinction: the library isn't for-profit and putting ads on things. Facebook is awful here, but not because videos are being copied and shared — they are awful for their ads and tracking of people and their enabling of plagiarism (which is when someone makes fraudulent claims of authorship and has nothing to do with whether or not copies are made).
I guess it's that time of the weekly press cycle again.
This looks really nice. Probably revealing my inexperience, but I have to wonder: is it possible for an employee to set up their own 401k account, and then have the employer donate to that account? Or is it only ever possible to get a 401k through an employer. It seems weird to me that something so tied to a single person (the 401k account) is provided again and again by different employers. If you work multiple places, do you end up with multiple 401k accounts? Is there some easy process to merge them all?

Never been able to find this information online, figured I'd ask in this thread, but apologies if this is all blindingly obvious. Would be happy to RTFM if someone could point me to the M.

Fun, but I just use fs-uae for that :) Cinemaware started selling some old Amiga games on GOG for the reference. Once you unpack them, they work in fs-uae pretty well.

It's just nicer to use if you have complex UI. OP's response was poor IMO, just because something follows some abstract principles doesn't necessarily give it value for us. I'll give you examples of things I've worked on where React made sense & where it didn't:

-E.g. use React (or Backbone, Angular, etc.): A real-time document editor, with many interacting components, with lots of real time updating of the UI. Definitely needed a framework like that, and it was great.

-E.g. don't use React, because in these cases it's a total Rube Goldberg machine (extra steps to achieve the exact same outcome): Basic web app with some ajax submissions, adding results to DOM type of stuff. Maybe small html fragments cloned, inserted by jQuery. No extra fancy client interactivity.

^If people claim you should use React for the latter (undoubtedly some will), they are very likely just people who follow trends to follow trends, or maybe don't have a ton of web experience and it's one of the few things they've learned and are sticking to. It's just so unnecessary (not to mention 100kb+ of overhead, & in my experience comes out to about x3 the amount of code). But yeah, absolutely use React if it's anything like the first use case.
Thanks for your remark. GitLab is a work of love for more than 800 contributors. That is why we've been able to bootstrap the company. Most of the time we're around cash flow breakeven. We plan to hire expensive sales and marketing people in SF so we need a bit of cash. But after 3-6 months they help to generate more revenue. This allows us to raise relatively little capital so we have more control of our destiny. We don't need to raise more than our competitors to win because of our open source model.

> And what, precisely, do they get in return for that added tax burden?

They get the relative burden of taxation shifted off the of other sources of income, including the source they are using to get money to pay for retirement. (The specific effect depends on how that relative shift is used.)

In any case, if the current favorable treatment of capital is inequitable, there is no entitlement for people to expect it to continue going forward.
To me, the real question is to why VCs are interested in these kind of businesses at all given the scale they must achieve in order to make any money.

Even if they took 0.25% from the $1b they've got under management and they took 0.25% across all of it (which they don't), that's $2.5m. At $10b under management, they're making $25m - not exactly blowing the roof off from a VC point of view.

Now, the argument they make is "we will sell them other products and services" - but that, to me, is wishful thinking. Especially with the big boys like Vanguard and Schwab coming in in a big way.

Unlike the 1990s, the market capitalization of technology companies in 2014 is backed up by operating numbers that are commensurate with value.

Unlike the 1990s, when tech companies climbed from single digits in 1990 to almost 30% of the overall market capitalization by the end of 1999, tech stocks collectively have stayed at about 20% of the overall market.
