Not a violation of privacy if you get the users’ consent first. And I’m sure that there are people who would actually want this as a service.

Moonlight is white, just like how the sun is white. The moon = blue, sun = yellow connotations are mostly cultural.

Pinguis definitely has solid fat connotations for me.

If I recall correctly, the ownership structure is set up in a way such that Riot has creative license over the game - when Tencent wanted Riot to build a mobile version of League, for example, Riot refused: https://www.theinforma

They don't own League of Legends; they have a significant interest in the company which created it. League also doesn't have an API while Starcraft 2 does.

One of China’s larger tech companies also owns a competing streaming service with casting in Chinese, so most Chinese viewers generally don’t use Twitch.

Correlations don’t mean anything; maybe merit => wealth, in which case the parent poster would still be correct. You have to show a change in wealth causes a change in merit, with all else constant (which happens to be true; see my other

Poorer people are “dumber” because they presumably have to devote more background compute to e.g. figuring how how to pay rent: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c13830

SNAP is not corporate welfare - in fact, it is the exact opposite! Employers have to pay their employees more because SNAP exists: since SNAP benefits decrease with more income, SNAP benefits decrease the marginal benefit to a worker for ea

The article concludes with a paragraph which basically echoes your sentiment. I don’t see much of your claimed “fear mongering” at all: “The good news is that while the activists missed their big, showy target, they hit the often sketchy da

The analogy would be appropriate if the poster compared scooter sharing services with car sharing services. Note that car sharing services are pretty regulated - you can't just dump cars onto the road and create an app. You have to get

It's not illegal to buy your own electric bike or scooter and ride it around SF. Not like SF is banning electric bike manufacturers. So your analogy is pretty bad.

I'm not saying the current state of affairs is reasonable (i.e. I'm saying that ISPs are currently monopolies). I'm saying that the FTC's proposed definition to determine whether there is competition in a coverage are

by tylerhou 8y ago
I don't think the definition is too unreasonable. Many areas would still be non-competitive according to the FTC: in order to guarantee that most of your customers are within 1/2 mile of another ISP, you'd have to significant

I think he means "C++ in 2018" to build a standard webapp, which definitely is masochistic because you can be much more productive on e.g. Rails. Just like how using PHP to build a real-time graphics engine is also probably masoch

I mean, that's a survey of one warehouse. I'm not sure if there's enough information to conclude that all Amazon warehouses have terrible working conditions.

If you know your queries at compile time, then you can register each query with the server when you build as the hash of the query. Then clients only have to send up the hash and the server can look them up in its registry; plus you now hav

Yeah, the first one is called `bind`. The second one is a variety of `bind`. But you can just lookup the symbol in Hoogle and it will give you the definition. You can also lookup a type signature and Hoogle will give you all functions for t

I'm fairly certain that the majority of stockholders when it comes to Apple is small shareholders, not large. Apple has a market cap of ~$1 trillion. Tim Cook himself is worth less than $1 billion (~$785 million from a quick Google), w

I updated my comment with some actual numbers; it's probably around $6000/year that your previous option grant was active, with favorable tax treatment because it can be taxed as long term capital gains if you're smart (and i

Very small percentage? From a quick Google roughly 17-25% of Apple employees are engineers. Assuming all engineers get options, and that options are around 1/4 of an engineers compensation, and assuming that buybacks raised Apple'

Sure. But that's not a fundamental difference , that's just a difference in normal usage. The only fundamental difference between stocks and dividends from an investor perspective that I'm aware of is tax treatment.

Why can't buybacks be scheduled on a frequent, predictable schedule? IANAL, but I don't see anything preventing a company from disclosing that they will buy back $foo amount of stock every quarter.

by tylerhou 8y ago
A large number of people who work at, say Apple, the company which bought the most of their stock back, will see very non-trivial increases in effective compensation because of stock price rises.

I would have loved it if Apple had opened up some APIs (for example, the NFC updates coming in iOS 12) sooner.
