Don't take a job based on shares. Just assume they're going to make them worthless in the long run. Yeah, it makes it harder to join a startup early on, but it's the funded startups you want to work for, anyway.
exactly! at my first startup we referred to them as "lottery tickets" and just assumed they'd be worthless. if the salary they offer you isn't sufficient, then the worthless pieces of paper don't help things along...
How? By writing apps for all those people that think they're going to get rich from App Store.
It has always been this way. Sun, SGI, MEC, NetApp... They all made a killing in the mid-90s by selling to fledgling internet firms that had no hope of ever making money, but had VC money to spend on their way to failure.
Or is this really the Elphel opensource/openhardware camera, and how Apertus hopes to add things around the edges. The camera is Elphel, as is the sensor and the software. The only thing that seems to be community-designed/built is the "rod" packaging, and maybe the battery rig.
I have this vivid memory from the first week of Radical Political Economy at university... The professor was explaining the Laffer Curve, sketching in the usual smooth curve from 0/0 to 0/100. He then proceeded to say that, of course, the curve doesn't look like _this_... It looks more like...... and then draws an overlapping rats-nest beginning at 0/0 and ending at 0/100.
Brilliant!
Exactly. If my aim was to "easily revive board game culture and introduce new generations to classic family games", then I'd got to Target and spend $20.
And his scrabble idea would amount to one _expensive_ game of scrabble... $500 gameboard and $100+ for each players' letter holder???
Yeah, I saw one of those signs at LAX last week, at the check-in counter. Made me wonder _what_ they could possibly be talking about... The signs are wondrously non-specific...
What about my niece's easybake oven?!? No way a CFL gives off enough heat to "cook" with. After all that's pretty much the point of the CFL, convert energy to light instead of losing it as heat...
Anyways, I don't know about the California legislators, but I for one am _not_ in favor of screaming/crying kids on Christmas morning...:-/
So they're a security company? Are they, perchance, offering information security? Something along the lines of: "If you worked with us, your personally-identifying information wouldn't be out there for every Tom, Dick and Adman to find and exploit"???
"In the study, 18 patients first had surgery to remove malignant gliomas".
So, they had the standard surgical treatment, and _then_ the radioactive venom. Alfred's question remains unanswered... How does 2/18 at 3 years differ from the survival rate for just the surgical procedure?
Diversity? It looks more like careening towards homogeneity to me. First they bought Innobase, giving them the ability to cut MySQL's transaction nuts off, then they buy another open-sourece-friendly DBMS which has transaction capability.
It's more than that... InnoDB gets more press (and possibly use), but BerkeleyDB has been the other transactioning backend for mysql for a long time now. longer than InnoDB, I think. Now Oracle owns every transactioning table type that mysql ships with. That can't be good...
I first heard about ECD in this transcript of a Scientific American Frontiers episode. Two segments on them, one talks about storing hydrogen as a solid (in alloy hydrides) and the second talks about their solar panel tech. Sort of ironic to see them pop up in this thread...
You would prefer that the money all stayed with the noble and virtuous New Line Cinemas, to help cover their costs in pursuing world peace?
Please. They signed a contract giving him 20% (of gross), and now he wants them to make good. The fact that it's a _lot_ more money than they thought it would be shouldn't really factor into it...
I agree that something more secure than a 16-digit number is certainly feasible and needed. But it shouldn't be something that needs to be passed through a third party. The card should be a smart card capable of signing a transaction, and only the signature should be transmitted.
Something that's communicated when the authorization is taking place, checked against a nice secure server, and then is forgotten and not retained.
The essential point you're missing here is that, currently, your 16-digit card number _is_ this something. The core of the problem (this time at least) is that the processing company wasn't following those rules. What keeps them from holding on to your passphrase for 'analysis'?

excoriate was the correct choice of words.
The quest for a new refrigerant gas gave us teflon...
...and Mitch McConnell is _not_ the majority leader. Wishful thinking on the part of the submitter?
Clearly a wretched hive of scum and villainy... if you're a conservative.
I'm pretty sure they were talking about 1973 when Henry Kissinger won the award. http://www.zpub.com/un/wanted-hkiss.html

I guess this is some additional work by Newton that I'm blanking on?
An unexploded object tends to remain unexploded unless acted upon by an external force.
Maybe I should have paid more attention in freshman physics...
openwrt (7.09, 8.09) blocks ssh via the wan by default.
Which terminal at LAX? I flew through LAX Terminal 1 (Southwest) at Christmas, shoes had to come off.

Laser eye surgery, from my perspective, amounts to _elective_ surgery on what I consider to be an irreplaceable part of my anatomy.
But maybe it's just me...
This is the new new math. ;-}

Unless the game is an adaptation of Minority Report. In that case the invasive ads _are_ game immersion.
But I'd imagine that one game probably doesn't represent a big enough market for Massive...
Have you priced bran muffins at your local coffee shop lately? $50/month for curbside delivery might be a better deal than you think it is...
