Sounds like it's triggered by something else, such as the Windows equivalent of a cron job, but it runs much longer if you have a username with the substring "user".

No, Shannon was just a great writer. For instance, Turing's writings haven't aged as well.

Their paywall is already friction. This would be a paywall that could be dismissed with a single click that costs $0.25.

Micropayments would be ideal. I'd be willing to pay $0.25 each time I wanted to read a WSJ article. I'd probably grumble that it "should" cost $0.05, but I'd pay anyway.

This is very specific to 2D data. I bet the story is a lot different for high-dimensional data. The challenges you encounter with this sort of clumping in 2D is unlikely to occur in high-dimensional data due to the "curse" of dime

Well, that's their mistake. Many of us do use -Wall -Werror though.

I'd exercise caution about that, since eventually the startup will inevitably hit a rough patch and it'll be nice to have a social network other than the startup.

I bet we have things that sound equally silly in American English when interpreted literally. Sadly, they're so invisible to me right now that I can't think of one easily...

No, you just can't vote without triggering a page navigation. (It's probably HTTP POST with redirect.)

I'm confused. You state that there's a 36 month vesting agreement with a 1 year cliff. Why doesn't the vesting agreement make this a non-issue?

Yes, except that the asynchronous hells finally go away when you start using async/await. Makes code easy to read, write, and reason about.

At some point, LinkedIn changed its mind and decided that you should connect to anyone you're barely acquainted with and/or have exchanged an email with. They're actively encouraging forming these "devalued" links.
