Yes.

Just a miner inconvenience.

Whats the biggest code base you've worked with?

"Rick" is generally actively supported by a non-technical manager who wants to keep the project from going to a more agile team ("it will take you 1000 man years to replace this and if you try we will make your attempts fail until we do it ourselves") and it locks in nice inflating budget.

Real nice NVidia. Now how about some support for Linux on Optimus/Hybrid GPU laptops?

Two possibilities:

1] She brought value to the table and was discriminated against.

2] She brought little value to the table, was one of those whiny entitled people (ooh look I have all these degrees, now I should automatically be promoted), who cannot accept the truth, and resorted to sleeping with a senior partner to compensate and when it all fell apart she got offended.

It could be either.

She has to convince the world it was [1] not [2].

Notice how the shills tend to have security related github accounts. (see the top voted comment. And a chinese blog that too.)

There is Goldman. And banks that emulate their culture. And there is everyone else.

The bad banks tech orgs are clubs for VIPs and friends and relatives of the business and the tech just doesn't matter, as a result you have a poisonous culture and an army of frauds. Especially true of the failed investment banks that got acquired by consumer banks. If you find yourself in the latter, and you are not part of the club (ie refuse to perpetuate the fraud of screwing over the business to enrich some tech executives agenda) run in the opposite direction. Join a trading firm instead.

I will bet OP was at a "club" bank.

It's a metaphor folks..

Serious question: how many years old are the signals estimated to be?

it takes literally 10 minutes to wipe it, download an iso burn it to usb, stick in the jab drive and reboot and click next a few times..

Ok, point taken. Merry Christmas.

People here will downvote things that dont come across as interesting.

Also, you label things as "fake news", defend pizzagate, and your views, particularly this one, make you come across as a crony of the political establishment you came from. Why do you expect hacker news to love you?

Why do we need these rare metals? Why not just use a block of ice generated from a known quantity of water, for example?

the people are scared.

I dont understand why people are voting this up on hacker news. Seriously folks...

How would this work?

"Dear Customer - your usage patterns shows that you are using your car for ride sharing revenue. Please stop it."

"Dear Customer - Second warning."

"Dear Customer - we have disabled important safety updates for your car, because it looks like you are ride sharing for profit. You might be a real estate agent with irregular driving patterns for legitimate reasons but we cannot confirm that. Sucks to be you."

Dobry den. Don't forget to remove your binary from target.

Straight out of Jason Bourne. There is a cancer...

Hell has a special place for Kissinger.

Citation?

Quit trolling. You know its selection bias.

If you are in London you can visit the tombstone of the good Reverend Bayes at the Bunhill Fields burial grounds, a short walk from the Old Street tube station, and pay your respects. There is also a bench facing a spacious lawn that you can sit on and contemplate Bayes in silence. He probably sat there at some point, come to think of it.

Why decode it? Take it at face value:

"I want to be clear: the accusations of criminal sexual misconduct against me are entirely false."

"I’ve dedicated my life as a journalist, activist, and longtime member of the Tor Project to advocating for the transparency of public processes and to speaking out about the necessity of privacy, security, and anonymity. These are ideals that I will continue to uphold, despite the vicious campaign that is currently being waged against me."

This guy spent two years in foster care when he was a kid. That kind of adversity, in my opinion, rears character.

Peter Thiel .. funding an appeal of this would be a better use of your $$$.

After 4 years at a company you have influence. Use it to start a small project in stats or whatever. Talk to people in the business if you need to, and build something on the side that is useful for them. Use your influence to get the project funded later.

Annualized over 10 years. One of the ways you value a company is by discounting the future cashflows.

$26 Billion is actually fair : The question is, would it provide earnings of $2.6 Billion per year discounted over the next ten years?

I think so.

Keep in mind, MS sells $90 billion of product and services a year, so we're talking less than 3% of that. (MS cost of revenue is about a third of revenues!)

1] First imagine LinkedIn used as the primary sales channel for MS products. Head of sales is probably salivating.

2] And then there is advertising. I think part of the reason LinkedIn is valuable is this: apart from LinkedIn there is no simple way (barring credit cards or other documents) to verify if an account who signs up to an online service is a real person, or who they claim to be. For an advertising business, this is gold: Expect the LinkedIn federated sign on to be integrated into many microsoft services (and by more third party services.)

Strategically if you are selling software/anything, you have are better off targeting the top 10% of earners rather than a gazillion broke teenagers.

Of course there are fake profiles on LinkedIn, but they are minor, and weeding them out is probably easier than on other platforms.

Human rights in immigrant detention centres is something everyone should get behind.

Unfortunately this exact kind of treatment is common at the US border. Search for: denied port of entry nightmare.

I guess when you see scores of people trying to scam the system you get hard nosed about it in time.
