So essentially you have a linear limit to the one part that is promised to be potentially exponential?

Are you sure you didnt select average income for the top 1% (which is the default on the left)

Switch to middle 40% and it will be still an increase but definitely does not look exponential - which most likely is the main point of the site creators

nesting ternaries isnt a thing that should be done

this example should just be using early returns imo

added a PR: https://github.com/vasanthk/react-bits/pull/76/files

agree most people who do inline styles (or any form of "my styling is written in the react file") do this afair

we inline for the same reason

i hope someone writes a good precompiler that allows efficient using def/use for (non changed) static inlining http://www.svgbasics.com/defs.html

My favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_160oMzblY8

It explains from ground up without getting complicated - it basically demystifies the whole thing completely

i give this to everyone - even to non technical people

this does not contradict my statement

there is a difference between long term planning and short term execution

yes short term execution should be monitored but it should not lead long term execution plans

Explicit expectations by the market towards the leadership.

As in: Do not worry about quarterly profits but longterm success

Sidenote: Amazing how international the collaboration in this industry is. Kudos to you people

Imo comes down two truths for me:

- it's easy to push the wrong people down the funnel

- use quantitive observation to train your qualified decisions

Assuming your question is rhetorical but to be sure:

Imho because it's implicit signaling of `Americans First` (and here implicit only a subset of them)

The startups technically pay to be part of the entertainment program

The value is in corporates buying tickets

that's kind of my point

databases people know and use already (eg in fun projects) are easier to sell

But it's also easier to sell a standard DB people already know vs a custom

(see (google) Bigtable vs (amazon) Postgres)

There are stories about German companies (eg Aldi) who even had to push their US workers to even form unions.

> worse than what's in my home country

As european i had similar impressions when coming to the USA

Here in SF i pass more homeless people daily on my way to work than i see in a year at home.

(I know SF is special b/c they keep them central but at home i'd need to look everywhere to even get to similar impressions - if possible)

re in Europe, people's instincts are 'zero sum game':

Personally disagree here - but i don't know where you have those facts from so i can't really properly dispute.

re Opensource:

A ton of open source actually comes from Europe. In the valley a few large corporates finance developers working on open source (eg facebook, etc) but i wouldn't really consider this charity. It's a hiring and branding pipeline

re Failure => Prison for those who are interested:

The situation this often happens/happened is called `negligence`

When either a) social security of employees is not paid (as in you "risk" their lives) or b) you handle sums that are far beyond your companies size (eg concert promoters have to prepay ticket sales to companies that are N times their own profits)

The laws changed here quite a bit but it's still a possibility.

Please note that in the same country you can go to personal bankruptcy - meaning agreeing on a total sum of max personal damages (not that this is i wish on anyone but it's a (extreme) downside protection)

Re failure overall:

It comes down to game dynamics. Europe doesnt favor "fail fast" because it the upside is smaller compared to the US (fragmented market => slower acceleration). So with the same downside risk but lower upside risk averse strategies are dominated historically. This (thx to Internet => global access) changes.

If they became best friends on the job that's one thing (but a long term problem)

If they became friends before and then hired each other it's a red flag

     Cronyism is the practice of partiality in awarding jobs
     and other advantages to friends or trusted colleagues,
     especially in politics and between politicians and 
     supportive organizations. For instance, this includes 
     appointing "cronies" to positions of authority, 
     regardless of their qualifications.

( essentially a variation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepotism )

Also in case you assume correlation jump ahead and be sure it's causation.

Fully agree. Considered this movie an eye opener as well - highly recommend to those who haven't seen it yet.

Since the movie, when people speak of "not lowering the bar" i have to think about how much people like her (and many others) had/have to run and jump uphill to even get to the bar.

Semi-related question:

I got some of those ICO coins back then - i registered with username/password back then

Still have username/password but i am unsure where to actually login? Anyone familiar w/ Stellar knows how to get to the account?

Hi Tom

Quick question related to "emotional healing therapies": how do you search for therapists that can actually help here. For me it is kind of hard to differ between esoteric charlatans and actual experts. Is there any special approach to searching them you would recommend?

i meant that the goal atm is not 50% but to get above the 20%

a) i agree that it's a problem for the whole society not just the corporates. it starts by far earlier as you said

b) your argument is that 50% is currently not possible

most companies are <20% in tech positions and <20-30% for management

a few years ago even <10% [2]

What a marketing claim

Does anyone have more information on this topic? I am never sure if this is snake oil market or not.

i seriously can't wait for Bitcoin the movie

i imagine it to be somewhere between Hackers and Departed

PS: given we currently have an emoji movie, had an facebook movie. A bitcoin movie is only a question of time - too many good stories here.

to be fair the adblock broke their frontend app
