Under her, Yahoo nearly tripled in value, from about $16 billion to $44 billion.
Wow, I didn't believe that, but I checked YHOO's stock price and kamapuaa is correct. When Mayer became CEO in July 2012, YHOO was trading under $16/share. As I'm posting this, YHOO is trading at $46.5/share.

Uber getting involved in autonomous cars makes absolutely zero business sense. Their entire business model is based on an asset-light utilization of vehicles owned by the people that drive for them. They are basically a middle-man matching and scheduling taxi service.
Uber is a software middleman dependent on utilizing vehicles and smartphones owned by others. Once the smartphone and (autonomous) vehicles start being produced by the same companies (Alphabet, Apple, etc), then there is no more need for Uber -- ridesharing is trivial compared to autonomous vehicies
So Uber eneeds to look like its developing autonomous vehicles in order to keep the hype up prior to its IPO.
According to the flight captain of JFK-SLC this morning, a routine scheduled switch to the backup generator this morning at 2:30am caused a fire that destroyed both the backup and the primary. Firefighters took a while to extinguish the fire. Power is now back up and 400 out of the 500 servers rebooted, still waiting for the last 100 to have the whole system fully functional.
I love uMatrix, an extension for Firefox. It's like noscript, but much more powerful: "uMatrix puts you in full control of where your browser is allowed to connect, what type of data it is allowed to download, and what it is allowed to execute. Nobody else decides for you: You choose. You are in full control of your privacy."
A vote for him is a vote against the Bushes, the Clintons and Obama.... so Trump will get all the votes from people who hate politicians and lobbyists. Hillary will win what is left: D.C. metro area.
There is a serious incident on Monday, one of a number that have been raising concern. The metro decides to shut down the system to do a major safety inspection. That is somehow bad?
The editorial (3rd link in the story) posed this question:
But if the situation was dire enough to require a unilateral shutdown at midnight, why was it simultaneously okay for people to ride home on Tuesday night?
In related news, I-94 outside of Milwaukee will be shut down late Friday night to allow bridge construction to continue.
That's just one single bridge, not an entire system, being shutdown for planned construction over a weekend.... after plenty of notice was given to the people who use the bridge.
Do you remember when Milwaukee's Hoan Bridge failed back on December 13, 2000? To be similar to what's happening in DC, people would have been killed during a Milwaukee bridge collapse, then a second Milwaukee bridge would have to have collapsed a few months later, then all of of Milwaukee's interstates would have had to be shutdown for safety inspections on a Wednesday, in the middle of the work week.
When szczys said "video" szczys meant porn. VGA was the first standard that allowed users to watch downloaded porn that was as good as what they could watch on videotapes.
CGA, EGA, MDA and Hercules couldn't equal a videotape.... and PCs didn't come equipped with NTSC, PAL or SECAM.
When I was in school, home ec was not an elective. It was mandatory and you spend half a year cooking and half a year sewing with finance and budgeting in both. I believe this was in 7th or 8th grade though. You only took it one year.
Home Ec and Shop were mandatory classes for everyone back when I was in 7th and 8th grade, in a public school in NY State. One class period (of the day) was devoted to these classes -- 1/2 of the year was for shop, the other half for home-ec. In seventh grade, we learned sewing and woodwork; eighth grade was cooking and metalwork.
We sewed aprons and chef hats in seventh grade; the home-ec teacher stored what we made, then we wore them in 8th grade cooking classes.
I didn't really appreciate mandatory home-ec classes until I was in my 30s, when I was meeting women online -- I'd offer to cook for second dates if she brought the wine.
I remember the 1984 election, when Ronald Reagan won 49 states; Mondale won Minnesota and the District of Columbia. That was an electoral college landslide: Reagan ended up with 525 Electoral Votes while Mondale had 13.
Reagan and Richard Nixon are the only candidates who carried 49 of the 50 states. Maybe Trump will be the third?

All of which are available to any DHS employee with email access, since that data is in the Outlook directory.

I weep for those 4 billions. What good we could have done with it,
The "good" is that the future politicians and lawyers making future laws will at least have had some exposure to programming.
