Even in the debates it was obvious both candidates were talking about keeping the act. I thought it was bizarre they didn't acknowledge that to each other.

The solution is to address the health problems structurally -- it is not going to be addressed by competitive health insurance marketplaces.
Rather, most of health care costs are from chronic disease from mostly tobacco use and obesity. Obesity is largely caused by sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs). Taxing tobacco and SSBs will dramatically reduce the chronic disease costs from smoking and obesity.
where's the study of every technology the porn industry adopted that still failed
actually, don't do that study, I get all my investors by saying "historically porn has been a leading indicator of tech adoption, and look they're using it!"
Do you guys ever get tired of me pointing out that it will still be a Unicorn when it trades at 1/10th of the price and has a sustainable business model? We call those success stories, but lets be honest, its the share price you are worried about.
A standard SV job .... in CALIFORNIA .... must restrict those agreements to things done on company time, on company equipment or suffer the whole employment agreement being invalid, severance clause or not!
Use that paid time off, or "flex" hours.
And regarding the paper trail, payments under $600 need not be reported to the IRS. 1099's only get filed after you have been paid over $600. Ask for cash.
Pretty good but rule #4 is totally totally opinion without any consideration about why someone would be defensive.
So given that Amir of June is the only person doing this quirky interview style (where you actually pay them for their time), the interviewer still has absolutely no idea of this psychological gimmick Amir has baked into his process. Right at the very end!
Amir Yasin admits that he is elevating them into a contracting gig status, and contractors ARE THE EXPERTS! They have to be the expert! They have to make up stuff on the fly to defend their implementation, "its a feature".
But for Amir's warped interview process, of which the candidate is being bussed around on a literal auction block at other companies before having the luxury of getting his groundbreaking interview style, he still has this one random assessment.
Look, Amir is the one that elevated his tiny sample size of engineers into gospel. There likely was a literal 2 people that formed his and his company's entire opinion about Rule #4.
We're focused on private deployments currently but are playing with the idea of a public chain. The issue is that it would look so different from what people are used to that we're having a hard time with the monetization strategy/figuring out what people would use it for.
For one, there's no Mining so what's the meaning of the initial coins? Also, it'd be much closer to an AWS Lambda + Stripe/Ripple than anything else which makes fee structures tricky. The big reason is that we would run all of the nodes ourselves because our core IP is ScalableBFT and we think that's the most valuable bit.
It's the first/only deterministic BFT Consensus that can scale into the 1000's of nodes + maintain constant performance as it scales. Being a bit of a breakthrough, we are keeping the protocol and its implementation proprietary.
The blockchains we're discussing here are about uniform replication & inter-node agreement, so constant performance is as the system scales is the goal. Our implementation of ScalableBFT runs at 8k-12k transactions per second, not 5-15 tps, and it maintains this performance as cluster size increases (up to some limit, we haven't managed to test it past the limit yet and think it's around 5k-15k nodes).
The other deterministic BFT systems like PBFT and SmartBFT are a little bit faster for small cluster sizes but slow down for every added node, encountering full system locks before 256 nodes. It's worth noting that these systems generally do not do pubkey sig verification on every command, instead relying on consensus and direct replication via TLS for authorship guarantees. The drawback, of course, is that an attacker is one server (the client's TLS server) away from inputting fake commands that the system deems real + smart contract authority is handled logically and not cryptographically... we see the CEO and the Mail Clerk having different keys to be a huge benefit from a Bitcoin-like approach.
This makes the bottleneck for us crypto-verification. Verifying 8k-12k signatures per seconds is pretty tricky if you don't skimp out on the crypto, which a lot of vendors are doing in the name of speed.
This is just not true. When a VC invests, they are betting this company will aggressively grow in value. All do some amount of due diligence. Clearly in some cases, not enough.
Firewatch is a really big step in the right direction.
But try playing it as a child or a woman marginally interested in a gaming experience and you get unnecessary swearing and tropes from a man's perspective.
Oh well. I wish there was possibility for a mode. Not one you are forced to select, but one based on a profile, more akin to the predictive one advertisers already have on you.
Are you implying that women don't swear? and why does a child have to play this game? this game is obviously oriented to a mature audience. Not all the games have to be suitable for everybody. If not, the only games available would be pixar-like games.
I'm implying, and directly said, that the tropes aren't relatable or interesting despite trying so hard to be LIKE EVERY OTHER GAME AND THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE ARTICLE AND THREAD
You think your rebuttals are original but they are just rehashing the same arguments from the past 30 years and completely unproductive. Assume I already know the counterpoints, you went for the lowest hanging fruit of them all.
Firewatch is an interesting one to call out, much like Journey as the author imagined, because those games try to be more interesting. They were created by artists and gamers tired of AAA titles and tropes. But they continue to fail to interest this other broad audience that is repulsed by the idea of games, but as the author realized, are actually entertained by immersive experiences.
A "possibility for a mode" dilutes the artistic message of a game. If you don't like what the authors did, I would suggest doing something that presents a different viewpoint that you find valuable. (And that's not a cop-out--there are loads of indie developers doing exactly that, and a lot of those games are awesome.)
I understand that, and this understanding has been pervasive for 30 years, which is why this exact article was written, and is still being circulated on HN.
