You are right. And just in case, the full name of Tonjé is Tonjé Bakang Tonje, so he doesn't mean to have a CAP problem (And I know his computer is aging not well :) but I think it was just to be clear with his full name.

Call him Tonjé (pronounce Tonjay), though, he will always answer you with a smile :)
If there are a good amount of shares with a greater than 1x preference and/or the employee pool (with no preference) is much smaller than usual, then the company should make additional disclosure of this information.
That is shostack's conclusion.
And the majority of Indonesians, who if pressed just reuse their name as last name. At least traditionally, not sure if gov is requiring last names.
INTERCAL has made many contributions to the state-of-the-art for numerous modern languages. My personal favorite sides with the author with the implementation of COME FROM, which is indisputably a vast improvement over the much maligned GOTO. It's so handy that it's been ported to Python! [0]

>if we can build a new probe within the next year and a half

The amount of cost and level of precision and robustness required tends to mean that these probes take years to plan, design, build, and test. It's also far from clear that the value of the science of sending an orbiter to Pluto would outweigh other potential missions (that also wouldn't have the same timing constraints.)
Also we can afford to pay them more if we don't spin all our cash on distribution top slicing and go to the gigs etc.
If this is happening at intersections, releasing the brakes would potentially push your car into oncoming traffic and add a t-bone collision that would not have happened otherwise.
Here I am trying to imagine a vehicle with infotainment but without a steering wheel. It raises so many questions!

Do you assume that we will purchase self driving cars frequently enough that the infotainment will keep pace? Do you anticipate purchasing a personal train or fighter jet? Do the handlebars on a motorcycle count as a steering wheel?
The author is a nearly 70 year old Cambridge-educated staunch BBC journo. The Arabic world is his thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Muir .. Iran isn't.

He claims government policies bankrupted the country, and they may have contributed heavily, but he neglects to mention the oh-so-subtle truth that Israel and the US pressured Europe to rubber-stamp disconnecting the entire country from the international interbank financial transfer monopoly SWIFT through a slapdash front entity known as 'United Against a Nuclear Iran', billing itself as a "non-partisan, non-profit
advocacy organization" whose members included the former director of Mossad, Council on Foreign Relations fellows and Bush's homeland security advisor. SWIFT had previously carefully cultivated a nominally apolitical image, and its director described the move as "unprecedented".
Tesla may axe the battery swap: http://fortune.com/2015/06/10/teslas-battery-swap-is-dead/
Hm, maybe it was 40 gigabits = 5 gigabytes of data that it gathered from the flyby?
Incoming, "this isn't reddit" trolling. :)

I recently got to see this in the theater with my 6 year old. We have watched it at home dozens of times and he knows most of the big one liners. It was excellent. I love that the tesla team is willing to have so much fun with their upgrades. I can't wait until I can afford one.
I work in pharmaceutical R&D and I am definitely for government oversight. Does the FDA screw up sometimes? Yes. Is it slow? Yes. Should it be scaled back? Not anytime soon.
>Not until the Tesla goes around the Nurburgring in the same fashion the GTR did.

Or manages to go around the Nurburgring at full power at all:

“Unfortunately the car went into a reduced power mode about 3 minutes in due to excess battery heat (at least, that’s my guess). However, before it did it was able to keep a GT3 RS going full chat, within shouting distance (at the 2:00 mark) far longer than any 4,700lb sedan has a right to.

I think my next non-two seater car will be a Model S (fortunately I have a petrol-powered sports coupe to take to the track).
This is an interesting move, it seems like an acqui-hire without all the upfront money to actually do the acquiring. I wonder what someone who owned equity in Homejoy would think of this.
65% of my pre tax income disappears on tax through income tax, NI and VAT so yes it's already happening.
1. Those who claim cleaning is not a "skilled job" should get off their keyboard, spend a day cleaning their moms house, and get back to me when they learn they are 3X slower than a pro and destroyed something with bleach-based spray.

Finally someone said it. Some moron posted ITT that 'no one is passionate about cleaning someone else's shit', which I find ironic as this website is populated by many people who clean up other people's shit online. It never ceases to amaze me how easy it seems to think the only job with subtle nuances is your own. Thus far in my life, I have done construction, plumbing, lawn care, film, 'fixing', security, and professional driving (not chauffeuring), and I always thought it cute how the pros in each of those vocations could go for hours about the skill and attention to detail required to be proffecient, then in the same breath speak of another vocation like it is simple. I think it is safe to assume that if someone is willing to pay for a service it probably requires some level of skill.

Full disclosure: in my "unskilled", workaday life I am constantly explaining the immense amount of time, effort, and skill required to make internet fix.
This is an awful user experience though.

Look at mobile phones.

An old Nokia 3210 or something, just works. It does everything fine. It works as a phone. It was designed from start to finish, and built.

Compare that with Android. Every update they seem to break or remove some functionality. Endless software updates, restarting, etc. It was shipped with bugs, it'll always have bugs.

I'm not convinced this is an improvement. Also obviously has some pretty big consequences if the update system is hacked, or if there's critical bugs etc.
I've proposed that legally consenting adults be allowed to take any treatment they want, provided that they sign an affidavit stating they understand that the treatment is not FDA approved.

The flip side is that FDA approval would grant the drug maker immunity from lawsuits over deleterious consequences of the drug.

Of course, the drug maker would not be allowed to make fraudulent claims in either case.
Previously, they went through the PCI bus (FPGA cards), custom memory bus (SGI's Altix), or PC memory bus (Pico Mini). The statements I've been reading on Intel's acquisition of Altera indicate they might integrate them at the SOC level. That knocks out most of what latency exists over the memory buses. The resulting performance for apps split between the CPU and FPGA should be much higher if they do this.

" through graphics card manufacturers? "

They actually compete with graphics card manufacturers with different tradeoffs. Most likely, your system will have a graphics card and FPGA logic.

"So what are the chances that we get PC architecture like this someday?"

http://picocomputing.com/products/picocube/picomini/

I have no idea how much it costs. You could probably buy a powerful server cheaper given it has four, good FPGA's (unit prices always high). Yet, that's a Core i7, up to 32GB of RAM, and 6 FPGA's worth of custom logic connected to both. Mainly aimed at FPGA developers and the niche that use them for acceleration. I'm sure hobbyists with cash might enjoy it, too. :)

I'll end with an illustration. A company once made a dedicated physics chip (Physx) to dramatically improve game physics while CPU did other things. NVIDIA acquired it & added it to GPU. Latest demo (below) on ever-difficult water rendering shows what a custom chip can do for an element of gaming. Now, just list off in your head all the other things that make a game work and imagine what it might be like if they had custom circuits too. And each game had its own custom circuits. Probably like PS3 vs PSX in difference. Not sure if it will happen, but we can keep dreaming, right?

Handmade candies are certainly popular.

I have several handmade baskets, though I confess that they were handed down to me from my parents. They don't have to be a staple, however, to still have a place these days.

> Really? Have you turned on the radio in the past 30 years? I live in a major metropolitan area, and there are only two classical music channels. And they are constantly going on fundraising drives, begging listeners to donate so that they can stay on the air.

That means that classical music hasn't found a stable home on the radio in your area. It doesn't at all mean that classical music and opera aren't booming. The 21st century is jam-packed with classical composers and there are plenty of people recording, performing, and consuming those works.
There's a missing piece of the puzzle, on the surface this makes absolutely no sense.
I think one great thing about this is exposing non Africans to African content.

It will allow Americans (and others in the world) to learn more about actual modern African cultures. People might be surprised, hopefully not, how middle class Africans are not that different from middle classes of other ethnicities. Sure, there will be some cultural difference and there will be an accusation of Nigerian cultural imperialism, as their programming dominates, but so does Mexican culture on the rest of LatAm.

The programming may even prove to offer more authentic and aspirational programing to blacks everywhere bypassing hollywoods imprimatur --which can only be good.
Yep, and further to that point, having the information doesn't necessarily mean there are any fewer ways for you to be screwed out of said equity. It just means that you might be more informed about the number of ways you can be screwed.
The USA and a few other countries have not yet signed or ratified the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. If your goal is zero nuclear weapons there is not much harm doing so. At worst you would have to break or cancel the agreement one day and I can hardly imagine negative consequences if the situation in the world developed in a way that doing so is deemed necessary.

Also unilaterally decreasing the nuclear stockpile from about 5000 right now to say 4000 or 2000 is not really dangerous. If you ever come into a situation where you need more than 2000 nuclear weapons I can't imagine that it makes any real difference whether you have one more or 3000 more. And this would really send a strong message to the other nuclear powers. Russia one, USA one, Russia one, USA one, ... is pretty silly in the current situation. Maybe if there is only a handful left.

Sanctions is exactly what I did not mean. Yes, it provides incentives but absolutely in the wrong way. If you want something you offer something in return, you don't take the other party as a hostage.
Except that there are counter-examples to this. The FDA's careful for a reason.

For example, take the first Rotavirus vaccine (Rotashield), which was associated with intussusception (it's no longer clear it even caused it). It was pulled from the market, but Congress definitely got involved, an newer, unrelated rotavirus vaccines have very, very active post-market intussusception surveillance studies associated with them.
I'm still not sold on "it's necessary that you subsudize channels you don't watch" argument. This policy just seems to lead to ever increasing cable bills and an even broader array of channels that we don't need. Do we really need a Cooking channel if we already have Food network?

Most importantly, it incentivizes people to make channels with cheap but low quality content just to suckle on the teat of the cable bill.

If there were true alacarte pricing options for cable channels, the channel would actually have to put an effort in for my dollar. Many channels would wither and die, but that's because they are offering an unappealing product.

It would also give consumers a way to actually push back when a channel goes against its core subscriber base just because they found some cheap content that can fill the airwaves. I mean just look at the current state of the History Channel or Discovery or even Animal Planet. Maybe it is time for them to die off and make room for a younger competitor not so in love with reality programming.
If it's done poorly, of course it's a terrible experience. Restarting my car and it's suddenly faster and smarter? Sounds like a positive experience to me.
Well it's no big deal because the GTR is one league above in term of sport racing, this car is incredible on track, there is no way that Tesla will match that.
Yep, that's one of our primary value props. Once we reach critical mass in a market we're able to do job clustering and route optimization. More jobs per day + less time spent burning fuel sitting behind a steering wheel means much better economics for our lawn pros.
I tend to think that anybody using the title "Data Scientist" should already know this material like the back of their hand. Good intro for those looking to learn, though.

"While in data science it’s not as important, I personally think understanding (if possible) the algorithm you’re using is a noble goal."

Its only relevant after an offer is extended. View it as due dilligence...they are giving you equity in exchange for cash/less salary..the burden should be on them to prove its a good or fair deal.

I'm trying to imagine a personal car without a steering wheel without an infotainment system.

Of course such vehicles will have infotainment. I've long been thinking about what sort of content would work best. Short, serialized content released on a weekday schedule would certainly be an opportunity. Perfect watercooler fodder.
Except, when I was driving my Tesla Model S down a long stretch of highway, the entire instrument cluster froze. I had to pull off and turn it off and on again; I kid you not.

No, it takes a certain personality to want great engineering accomplishments to be routine. Because if they're not, we'll probably be trapped on this rock for several more centuries.

[UPDATE to answer without burning karma]

Someone says "We live in some exciting times." and I try to explain how exciting it could be.

Well played Google! using your Venture arm to recruit for your internal product.
There are lithium polymer batteries with a peak discharge rate (usually a few seconds) of 100+ times their capacity (C rating).

So if you put a lot of those single cells in parallel to e.g. form an 80Ah battery, you could for some time pull 8000A+ out of it at 3.7V (the car's motors probably need a few times that voltage, so there will be cells in series).
Actually, my conclusion is that because of the information asymmetry, and the fact that for most opportunities the equity is not worth getting out of bed over, I choose to focus on the cash.

But please don't mistake that for me saying companies should just pay cash. While that would be great, I think there is definitely value in offering equity, particularly for early stage companies that may not have the revenue to actually offer a fully competitive salary.

The thing that needs to change is how prospective employees are educated about this so they can make fair and informed decisions as to their risk tolerance.

"such a business" - Sure, but not a tech driven one.

Don't forget that strength-to-weight is a big determinant of acceleration, so the new Roadster wouldn't necessarily need to be AWD. (and here's hoping it's not!)

There are plenty of Benzes, BMWs, and domestic sports/sporty cars with massive acceleration "despite" being RWD. (See all the Viper vs Model S videos, for example)

A Model S drivetrain in something that isn't 2200kg long-wheelbase sedan would be amazing :)
Can't that be done purely in the client? Why use WebSockets to to remote math?

> The cleaners were not professionals.

I live in a "secure building" where you need to be buzzed in or have a key fob. A Homejoy cleaner assaulted me while screaming "I'm late for a job you gotta let me in!" when I refused to let her tailgate in. When asked for identification or what unit she was trying to get to, I was simply told: "You stupid punkass bch, I work for Homejoy... ya'll <racial slur>s is paranoid."

After 6 phone calls and just as many promises of being called back, I was basically told they couldn't address my problem because I wasn't a customer.

Took the issue to the HOA and we banned Homejoy from the building.

Double opt-in is an industry standard. Someone buying a list of email addresses is not. Some laws are now enforcing the concept such as CASL.

Either way, newsletters/transactional emails can all be marked as SPAM even though the recipient is legitimate. The sender can be negatively affected by a blind reputation system.

"List-Unsubscribe" for sure can be abused, but better then blindly considering every email flagged as SPAM.

For my tastes, this is actually a reasonable configuration of things.

Nobody is forcing you to use HTTP. If you decide to, and you provide access to your database via HTTP, and you allow me to submit a payload which makes changes you don't like, you are welcome to stop me and issue a 403. It's your database, after all.

This whole controversy seems like a way of shifting blame for security failures from the parties who actually failed to people who were uninvolved in the implementation and just happened to be the first (or the first noticed) to use applications in a way unintended by the designers.
Wow. What an accomplishment. :/

Why do you say the other makers are passive? BMW, Mercedes, Nissan, VW, Ford and Fiat all have fully electric cars. Sure none of them get near the range the Model S does, but they are getting involved in this. A Nissan Leaf offers roughly one third the specs of a Model S, but also at one third the price. Seems like progress to me.

Depending on how cynical one is, you might view the real estate multiple listing service (MLS) as "community owned", at least from a game theoretic standpoint.

It is not a monolithic organization. There are actually 850 regional MLSs in the US. In some sense this is a P2P walled-garden marketplace. However, there is downward pressure from the national realtors association to standardize on things like listing formatting, so it is not entirely self-organizing.

I think owning the marketplace is valuable. Similar to various open source initiatives, once the free marketplace gets to a certain size, someone like Red Hat will come in, fork it, and set themselves up as gatekeepers. The resting dynamic of the system is a feudal kingdom.
