Another problem with recruiters is conflict of interest. They likely can't be seen to poach one client's employees for another.

If the recruiter is large and they represent many clients, the pool of talent you can pull from via the recruiter may not include someone very qualified and presently employed somewhere with no room for advancement they deserve.

If you had just advertised the job on LinkedIn and done some cursory research yourself before going to a headhunter, you might be able to access that resource. At a cheaper price, even.
Unfortunately, this is vulnerable to a bit of bureaucratic sleight of hand. I say we hold it against the politicians who aid and abet such shenanigans.
I have several web sites, can I share them with a single account?
Is this really what elections are still for? I remember the sense of relief and elation of many around me when Obama was elected. Change was coming and many people seemed to feel that the best time for it was when the old system has all but collapsed. I believe Obama himself actually said something to this effect at the time. Fast forward to a few weeks ago just before the US mid-term election and I saw Obama interviewed by John Stuart. His points seemed to boil down to that they couldn't change as much as they wanted to because the US (and by extension the world) was in crisis and that people expected too much.

Don't get me wrong, I believe in participating in the political process, I do vote (though I'm not American) and at least try to keep myself informed though I'm no political expert by any means. But I guess my point is that taking into account how things have gone over the last few election cycles both in my country and the US, what this guy did at the TSA security checkpoint seems far more effective than voting if more people were to do it and things like it. But I guess that would mean that we'd all have to handle some amount of inconvenience to protect our rights and that seems to be something that modern citizens of modern societies seem mostly incapable of accepting.

By that criterion, we shouldn't talk about a murder in our neighborhood, about our children failing at maths, about unemployment... War is worse than all these.

Also, it's not news when every headline every day is "more 150 people dead in war". You think people would keep watching the news, let alone caring about some war far, far away?
Don't be fooled by the concrete either, my friend. The Tao Te Ching is no different, in ways, to the Bible, the Quran, Lord of the Rings, Dune, Cat's Cradle, The Feynman Lectures... It's all what you take from it.
Sometimes, people can make wrong assumptions by reading one's words alone. First, not everything is carefully worded, sometimes you choose the wrong words and didn't realize until someone responded. Also, not all context/information is necessarily expressed - for example, you know an argument, and you already know more information about your argument, you don't always write them down, because talking on a forum is not your exam. Another example is when you know an argument and its counterargument, and you talk about the argument, someone may come and say: "you are misguided, don't you know its counterargument"? Second, no tone, facial expression, or other social hints are preserved, when you talk about an argument casually, others may assume that you are serious.

When I claimed that Satoshi was active in the cypherpunk group, I didn't say that I was also thinking about the citations in the original Bitcoin paper, specifically, Wei Dai's "b-money" or Adam Back's "Hashcash", both came from the infosec community of the late 90s, and they are something that a member of the cypherpunk group should be intimately familiar with. An additional piece of information about his avoidance of using secp256r1 curve fits into the narrative well, and they can be circumstantial evidence if you buy into it. Also, I wasn't being serious at all, I mentioned it simply because it's just an interesting idea related to the original article and other readers may find the idea interesting as well, and I used the phrase "shed some lights", which, according to Merriam-Webster, is a phrase that means, "to make it possible to understand or know more about something", not a bad choice. Unfortunately, I misused the word "evidence", a pretty strong word. I should have used "circumstantial evidence" or "hints". while I was typing the original comment, I was also thinking about the possibility that Satoshi wasn't an active cypherpunk in the 2000s but simply a follower who had read the mailing list archive after the group became inactive, but I didn't mention either. I was not writing a background check for Satoshi, there's enough good articles on the Web.

When nonefromabove was replying my comment, nonefromabove, who was being unaware of anything of the above, must have deduced that I was fallen into the "connecting-the-dots" fallacy, or having a somewhat conspiracy theorist's attitude on Satoshi's identity, and I was being completely serious about it. Meanwhile, I was well-aware of the cognitive bias of overfitting data, and I was a fan of Nate Silver's The Signal and the Noise when his book came out. Nevertheless, I was told that I was "reading too much into this", and how "my mind works with tiny information and how I confuse noise for signal".

Perhaps, to avoid misunderstanding like this, we may use a "confidence" label, inc. "almost certain, likely, possible, unlikely", and a "tone" label, inc. "joke, casual, argument, serious", and so on.

Actually, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a hosting company to store some data for free. Not in the sense that I'm entitled to it as a customer, but in the sense that it might be in their best interests: if the data is deleted, that's a pretty good guarantee that the client won't reactivate; if the data is saved and it's trivial to reactivate, some percentage of customers will do so.
No dude.

For the record, even if every ISP in the US agreed to shut down, no the rest of the world would not be "shut down", except for US-based services going off the air, or to the extent that they house their services on US-based servers.

The origin of the Internet lies exactly in the requirement that it be "self-healing". You can read an early history here:

I felt so angry while reading this. It's clear to say that the terrorists have won.
I suspect there may be some posts here dismissing a lot of this as obvious - but it's actually really interesting to hear further evidence that a lot of lifestyle factors really do play a large role as we thought.

The best part about things like this is that, as they say, they're amenable to change - you can affect them, so you can reduce the severity of the feedback loop that makes depression so insidious.
People are not necessarily disagreeing with what you said; it's likely that they are disagreeing with how you said it.

By opening a statement with "Wrong. Absolutely wrong" or "You're completely wrong" you are being unnecessarily argumentative and confrontational. That's really not a positive opening for a discussion.

It also couldn't be farer away from how I imagined the solution would like.

Not that I had anything non-vague in mind, I'm mostly just an interested layman, but surely not anything like that gif! Truely amazing.

Also I can't even start to get my head behind "Yes there are shapes but they are hard to visualize" so how do they even work with them?

This is right. Black emerging from beta was discussed on the Django mailing list in the last week or so, and triggered the work.

Well yes that's a part of it. (I solved that problem by deploying w Docker personally.) But I think beyond that there's also this idea that it will be faster on serverless.

>You will notice that you actually being worth the extra $20k wasn't a prerequisite, only that you now have the power of a union to muscle it out of the employer.

And having more power makes you more valuable, because having powerful people work for you is a boon. So we're full circle again.

You example is a perfect demonstration of corporate mentality: As a group you want to bully an extra $20k out of an employee, for what reason? Just because you are a corporation and you can?

>With discrimination, minimum wages, OSHA, child labor, etc. already on the law books, why are people even talking seriously about unions these days?

Maybe because unions caused those things to happen, dummy.

Neat post, are there any other sites similar to usertesting.com?
Ok, where to begin...

- "The Times has tried twice to create pay-wall models that have utterly failed"

Um, not true. They did it once. It was called Times Select. It actually worked quite well, however the advertising market picked up in a big way where revenue from ads would exceed subscriptions. Not the case anymore, but thats another story.

- "The Times does very little investigative journalism of significance"

Ok, I'm gonna leave this one alone. Clearly we are on different planets.

- "The Times has strong pretensions, as evidenced by its coverage of socialite weddings, etc."

I guess so... ? Is it? I mean its not tabloid, but I think thats good, right? Whats the "etc"?

- "In the buildup to the Iraq war it was the Times' sloppy fact checking that sold the war to many, many people who had been skeptical prior to reading its coverage."

I'm not sure how this relates to helping your point about "transition into the digital age" or the whole "tweet" thing.

- The Times attack on the Pulse news reader turned what should have been superb publicity into a petty attack on a small startup that obviously loves the Times.

Yeah, I personally think that was short-sighted.

"For all its flaws, it's still a great paper, but far less great than it once was or than it could be if it had more sense and guts and had to fight harder to maintain its position."

Been waiting to say this... ahem..."{citation needed}"

"Banning a word like "tweet" suggests…"

Okay, I think you need to re-read the article (or maybe I do). The word is not banned, it is highly discouraged. It does give examples where "tweet" is appropriate so therefore it is not banned.

"We have wars going on and all sorts of corporate fraud and the Times is wasting ink (or pixels) on why it banned a silly sounding word?"

The Times is also wasting many hours every day on things like lunch, coffee breaks, expense reports, HR policies and the like. Don't they know there is a war on!?

And to re-visit the "embarrassing way that the NY Times has attempted to transition into the digital age", I just want to say this:

- NYTimes.com is 83rd Most-Visited web site on the Internet (1st for Newspaper) according Google: http://bit.ly/bsbBMB

- http://developer.nytimes.com

- http://open.nytimes.com (my favorite: http://open.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/11/01/self-service-prorat... )

- http://www.nytimes.com/timesskimmer

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadoop#Hadoop_on_Amazon_EC2.2FS...

And in case it does come up, this is entirely my own view and not that the Times at which I work but I'm not in editorial or anything like that. I just felt that while you made some good points you were off-base on a few.

To wrap up, I just re-read what I wrote above and it could come across as snarky which is not my intention, rather I was aiming (badly) to be a little tongue-in-cheek.

Like probably most of you, I need an Internet connection to do my legitimate work. Though some of these productivity guards do allow granular control of their blocking, it's too much work to keep them in sync with my changing projects and reference needs.

I read an interesting article recently, discussing the idea of "habit fields". Basically, their assertion was that our bad habits, like checking email or refreshing HN, are tied to physical location as much as anything else. The idea isn't new or unique, but is interesting when applied to this issue of the digital shallows.

So, I've been trying to tackle the problem from that angle instead. I force myself to use an iPad or laptop for casual reading, only in the same physical areas I would normally read physical books for leisure. If I see something interesting while I'm at my development machine, I send it to Instapaper for later and close it immediately.

It's hard to quantify, but seems to have had at least some positive impact on my ability to sit down at my development machine and easily focus on productive tasks.

What's really scary is how large a majority of Internet users are being exposed to the same brain drain we are, but aren't as acutely aware of it because they're refreshing Farmville instead of HN.
Absolutely, I'm beginning to lose patience repeating the frankly blinding-obvious-at-this-point-argument you just had to make, but I'm glad others like yourself haven't.

The 'don't use frameworks, use libraries' argument is naive, and just does not hold up in the real world of teams trying to build things.
> I'm sure Sapporo have pretty deep pockets, which the author rightly took advantage of, but that doesn't make it any less superficial.

Seems a bit unfair as a comparison. He is talking about a simple trick to save time and money and you compare it to a different expensive mistake.

The visual results may be the same, but it's not necessarily the case that he rightly took advantage of anyone.
With this investment we're closing in on a half billion invested in bitcoin-related startups. A well over 100-fold increase in 2 years. During the same period the number of transactions per day on the blockchain has... not quite doubled.

So about 100k for legal and accounting? Is that normal?

I was diagnosed with ADHD, prescribed ritalin. My mother opted me out of being medicated. It wasn't necessary for me, because I shouldn't've been diagnosed with ADHD. This was in early 2000s when ADHD was being applied to any kid with today's spectrum-like behavior

But that doesn't mean others don't have a real struggle with this

> but I assure you it didn't fucking feel trivial 5 months into the 2nd lockdown.

I wrote that it is trivial to prevent people entering and leaving AUS/NZ, as you also stated in your comment "We shut our borders to people (mostly) not goods."

I did NOT write it was trivial "locking down" cities. Europe is under going similar lockdowns, so Australia is far from alone. According to the press, there are 30-40,000 of your fellow citizens that still have not been able to return home 12 months after all this started, precisely for the reasons above.

> population density of the whole country is irrelevant.

It's completely relevant. Even more so that if you live in Perth, you don't just jump in a car and drive to, say, Sydney, whereas in Europe you can drive from London to Birmingham in a couple of hours, or Paris to Brussels, and so on. Australian towns and cities are very widely spread compared to Europe and the USA. Which is reflected in the speed of transmission (and lack of) across the country.
>Because involving police during an assault is not the solution?

>Kids who punch others should be punished by law enforcement.

It really depends on the situation - in my jurisdiction the age of criminal responsibility is 10 years old, below that age it is not possible to press criminal charges. And for children aged 10 to 14 'the onus is on the prosecution to prove that the young person alleged to have committed the crime had a sufficient understanding of the criminality of their actions. That understanding must amount to the knowledge that the actions were criminally wrong, and not just naughty"' [1]. Again, it would be highly inappropriate to get police involved except in the most drastic circumstances.

For older teens, sure, but they generally have the sense to not brawl on-campus / within the school's duty of care. I'm mainly referring to breaking up squabbles between primary to middle schoolers. Teachers should be compensated more for having to put up with this, but I believe it's an unavoidable part of school yard/classroom management.

I will note that here in Australia we don't have a police officer stationed in schools as (many? most? of) the USA does, so maybe the cost/benefit changes if you have a dedicated resource and aren't diverting police from useful work off-site. But I still feel it's inappropriate.

>Teachers have no authority to punish a kid whatsoever.

What would you do, bring back spanking? I agree with you, kids get away with things that would not have gone unpunished when I was a lad, but you have to remember that the goal of the system is (at least in theory) to nurture and educate children. If you keep excluding or eventually expel students they won't get educated, if you on calling parents in to collect their misbehaving kids they might get punished at work or eventually fired for being unreliable (which certainly will make the child's home life more difficult, and if it's a troubled family may actually result in the child being physically harmed), and so on.

It's a very tough problem and I don't have a good answer for it. But I do believe that children need to be taught more discipline at home so that teachers can maintain effective control in class, and that this whole trend of parents wanting to be their child's friend over parenting them effectively is very bad for society.

Insightful comment. In general I prefer tools that have a prescribed way of looking at the world and don’t try to be everything to everyone. That said, I feel a certain allure to the depth and “wizardry” that I’ve heard so much about in Scala, which doesn’t generally fit this mold.

So at the moment I really think I’m stuck between Scala, Haskell, or Elixir.

It’s tempting for people to simply say, “Learn all of them” but for practical reasons that’s not possible at the moment. So thanks a lot for your comment.

Yes, that's a very good point. The perfect example of this was Emanuel Lasker. He was an extremely talented mathematician, noted for work in commutative algebra, but he poured the vast majority of his efforts into chess. He was world champion for 27 years, easily the most dominant player of his era and amongst the best ever.

Just imagine if mathematics had been his passion and chess the side hobby!

You need to get it from the vendor so it's really up to them if they publish LCAs for their products. Apple and Microsoft do for their hardware but I've not seen many other companies do so.

Gun control is a case where there's probably enough data to do interesting analysis if someone were to collect it and study it without trying to make it show a specific result. Noteworthy data points would be the first derivatives of gun crime, non-gun violent crime and burglary rates before and after specific gun control measures were passed or repealed.
