A friend of mine while we were in school (RPI) interned at GE and apparently they receive tons of letters each Christmas sent to Santa which have 12345 as the zip that GE staff volunteer to reply to.

IANALE-either but from my understanding the Pardon is so wide (only restriction being preventing from stopping an impeachment) that the President can and has Pardoned people preemptively. There are some other limits on it as well for practical uses.

Most notably, President Ford pardoned President Nixon for basically anything he might have done as opposed to specific charges.

I had the same thought of it just shifted who you had to negotiate and convince group to the entire office instead of eliminating that aspect.

Especially considering Buffer was mentioned and their formula was average for the role adjusted for cost of living, time with company, experience and equity level in a very straight forward way.

The only other information I noticed while reading was his law education.

In 2007, Prince Mohammed graduated fourth in his class from King Saud University with a bachelor’s degree in law

I think you can still get around that with some effort.

In 2010, I purchased a dumb phone/sim card for use on a prepaid plan. At the time it was the only way to get onto a super cheap prepaid plan since they wouldn't sell you a sim/the plan directly. I then put the sim into my own purchased smart phones(multiple nexus devices and a one plus one). For convenience reasons, I refill my account online with a cc but I technically could simply buy the t-mobile refill cards for cash then activate the time on them.

As far as I know, there's nothing stopping me from doing this fresh again with a new prepaid phone and then never associating my real identity in any way.

From my limited understanding, the difference is the government having a reasonable level of certainty that the device in question contains the evidence they're looking for.

The analogy I would use is a locked closet full of file boxes. If the government is certain that the files relating to a specific crime are in the closet, then you can be compelled to assist them in opening your closet or face an obstruction of justice charge. However if the police suspect you of a crime and suspect that you're the type of person who would keep the evidence in your locked closet that is not enough compel you to open the closet so the police can check up on their hunch.

In this case, I read it as the men are suspected of insider trading and the government believes that they would have used their cell phones to communicate about the deal and the phones contain evidence of such. There is no actual evidence that the phones were used and so they're not obstructing the police in obtaining evidence the police know is there, but rather preventing the police from poking around to see if the evidence exists at all.

There are a few (albeit limited) places to get into watchmaking as a career.

One of the more interesting is The Lititz Watch Technicum (http://lititzwatchtechnicum.org/) which is a 2 year certification program funded by Rolex.

To win, I have to be right on all three propositions.

1) The top 6 US companies at http://fortune.com/2015/01/22/the-age-of-unicorns/ (Uber, Palantir, Airbnb, Dropbox, Pinterest, and SpaceX) are currently worth just over $100B. I am leaving out Snapchat because I couldn’t get verification of its valuation. Proposition 1: On January 1st, 2020, these companies will be worth at least $200B in aggregate.

2) Stripe, Zenefits, Instacart, Mixpanel, Teespring, Optimizely, Coinbase, Docker, and Weebly are a selection of mid-stage YC companies currently worth less than $9B in aggregate. Proposition 2: On January 1st, 2020, they will be worth at least $27B in aggregate.

3) Proposition 3: The current YC Winter 2015 batch—currently worth something that rounds down to $0—will be worth at least $3B on Jan 1st, 2020.

I've had issues getting steadily worse all day across domain since ~9 am est or so. I just received this from Google as part of an auto reply to support ticket.

Really good book on the subject that deals with why/ramifications of a society that's okay with "I can't do math" as a reasonable thing for an otherwise educated person.

I think it misses a key point of math which is to take an idea from a concrete example and expand it to demonstrate something in general.
