Possible portability to Android -- might take some work, but much less than it would be to port Swift. From an architecture point-of-view, there is ReactCocoa.

I have lived on the East coast my whole life (40+ years) and am in my fourth startup. Practically every good developer I've worked with has some side project they do on their own time. I find it hard to believe that anyone would fire s

You can leave it blank in an application. In an interview, just say you are looking for the right fit and you are sure we will be able to come to an agreement if we want to work together. The best case is that they just don't want to w

And I found my current job a Trello there. I wanted a remote dev position and spent a few months getting an RSS feed of remote jobs from SO -- it was, by far, the highest quality of my sources.

The best case is that they are doing it to get an idea of whether they should be pursuing you or not (if prior). You should politely decline.

A well-typed program is isomorphic to a proof -- google "propositions as types". This is not the same as saying your program is correct. For your specific question, google "dependent types", which are types that depend o

Do you have any idea why? I realize that almost all companies will not tell you -- but, thinking critically about the interview and process, do you have any ideas. I would recommend doing informational interviews with friends at places tha

It's explained on the site. If every ad is clicked by everyone, tracking data is useless.

If it's just for fun/curiosity, I'd say Swift. If you want to be a working iOS dev, you need to know Obj-C for now.

Never heard of a bad actor. I think you just choose a law firm, insurance company, big 4 accounting firm. That sort of company. They just need to safeguard the code drops and execute the transfer at the proper time. Like reading a will.

I have worked at startups that people could believe would fail. We used source code escrow services that release the code to customers if we went out of business. Any of them would have been free to open-source.

Not only is it possible, but it's utterly normal. As others have said, tell interviewers your constraints. Hopefully, taking a vacation day (or half day) isn't impossible at your current job. Having appointments in the middle of

I was crashing multiple times a day with GPU stacks in the crash log while viewing or editing video. It turned out to be memory with incompatible speed -- swapped out, no crashes since.

The tax will make sure they list deductions, which are also useful to know. Also, the transparency is a benefit, but so is the tax revenue. We should at least cover the expense of the program and consider if there are other taxes that shou

I've heard from enough women to believe that it is not commonly thought to be gender-neutral by women. Like the post says, you can get used to something else if you use it enough -- it's a small thing to do. I also use "staf

I think it's pretty clear from the book. I did a quick search -- this blog comment by Dan Kervick sums up the argument pretty clearly. http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2014/05/pikettys-wealth-tax-r...

A tax does it with the force of law using the systems we already have in place. It's the cheapest, easiest, most likely to work way we have of doing this sort of thing.

A restaurant would very unlikely be hit by estate tax. For one, it's the VALUE of the restaurant, not the revenue. What do you think the value of a restaurant typically is (especially a family one like you describe) -- probably less

An estate of 5 million pays $0 in estate tax. The tax is on the amount (net of deductions) OVER 5.34 million. A net $6m estate would pay about 4% (264k), not 40%.

Also, in this case, it isn't double-taxed. The heirs never paid tax on it. It's very likely that estates of that size have tax-deferred parts or insurance. Finally, there are many incorrect statements in the description of the e

It's not evident in Gates's review, but one of Piketty's arguments for a wealth tax is just so we can get a better picture of wealth. He goes through great lengths to try to get data on it -- if there was a tax, even a small

At your stage investors generally want their money to stay in the company and be used to help it grow, not be immediately taken off the table. How big is the share? People with minority stakes are asked to leave all of the time. He can ke
