Why would our creators want to avoid nested simulation?

After; my first offer was substantially lower.

by dlubarov 10y ago
I didn't have any offers involving options. The ~316k offer involved public stock, and the 290k~350k offer involved private RSUs. 290k is using the company's 409a price and 350k is using their preferred share price.

The 4 year number is mostly from my own experience. I interviewed recently, and my highest offers (after significant negotiation) were ~316k from a public company 290k~350k from a private company, depending on which valuation you use

I'd say if you're in SV, have a pretty good background, interview at top-paying public firms like Google/Facebook, get good scores, and negotiate very well, you can expect around - new grad: ~175k - 4 years: ~300k - 6

A lot of our apps use Flyway and it works pretty well, though it tries to do everything in a transaction. Normally that's desirable -- we don't want a migration to partially succeed -- but we would often use CREATE INDEX CONCURREN

That's a really fast line! I went to the Burlingame shop at 8:30am (they open at 10am) and it was almost noon when I finished.

No one's saying wasm apps will be open source, just that there will be a reasonable way to inspect their logic. Of course making sense of certain wasm apps will be challenging. JS code can be hard to follow as well, if it was generated

by dlubarov 11y ago
Well it's not really machine code, since no hardware uses wasm as its native instruction set; it's just low level bytecode. And it's really intended as a compilation target; I don't think anyone wants or expects average

I think the idea is that WebAssembly apps will normally be closed-source, but browsers will ship with disassemblers, making it easy to inspect the app logic in a common text format.

FYI this isn't anything new. The networks (at least Visa and MC) have been routing payments to other networks for years, so that their customers don't need a separate integration with each network (or to use a middleman processor

But most users will copy/paste whatever's in their URL bar, which will include www. if the site redirected them to it.

Aesthetics aside, one benefit of naked domains is that shorter URLs are better for sharing in chat programs. 'www.' takes up a nontrivial amount of space in certain environments (e.g., a gchat window within gmail).

One benefit is publishing competition. You can buy most popular public domain novels for $2~$5. On Amazon right now, the first hit for A Modest Proposal (a very short piece) is $2.25, and the first hit for Huckleberry Finn is $4.05. There m

I wouldn't be that upset about the styling limitations if we at least had a reasonable way to give it a size. The common workaround is pretty nasty: http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html

On the bright side, this only affects offline PIN verification. Cards which are configured to require online PIN verification should be more secure. They will send a (triple DES encrypted) PIN block to the terminal, which sends it to the is

Slight correction: VTSAX is a mutual fund; VTI is the corresponding ETF. I agree that it's an excellent choice though -- easy diversification, very low expenses, low turnover. VT (which includes foreign stocks) is also worth considerin

12-18 is a reasonable P/E range by historical standards, but not in the present environment. S&P 500's overall P/E is over 20 right now.

So Walmart's operating assets are worth more than Amazon's. I still think the headline is fair. Usually when we speak of a company's value, we mean the entire company including non-operating assets and liabilities.
