Price yourself higher than everyone else on the list, but not excessively so. Make sure you're their last option. The equivalent of asking a VP to do clerical work.

Depending on circumstances, you might never be assigned call at all, while still checking the box on your performance review.

And/or

Since you value time more than pay, demand a multiplier, but paid in comp time.

So that instead of working more hours, you end up working fewer.
I actually prefer the interior of my Tesla's to any care I've ever owned. Combined with the technology and software, I haven't seen any car that competes. It is still absolutely amazing to me how much code goes into traditional ICE cars and they still can't create a coherent, usable, interface.

I will say that Ford has drastically improved in the last few years (I own a fairly new Explorer ST) but much of what they've done you can clearly see is copying what Tesla has done. Even still it is miles away from what Tesla has done.
The nice thing about a OTP is that it's only used once, unlike a typical cipher. If pads are lost, well that's fine because they weren't going to be used with anyone else.
Don't get me wrong, my laundry list with SBT is huge - that single point was an example; but I have other points for make, cargo, cabal, stack etc...

My question was what makes SBT uniquely bad when the topic of build tooling comes up that people immediately comment how terrible it is.
It's not about the $850m per se, it's about the deep suspicion that Tether does not have anywhere near the $23 billion in reserves they claim to.
Surprise yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Members_of_the_House_of_Lords.

There's at least two composers on there I recognise, I can't actually see artists at the moment, but there are several people from the art world, and several scientists.

Also: people from human rights organisations, nature conservation organisations, farmers, medics, bishops, atheists, lawyers, spies, bankers, people who work in child protection, housing for low income people, people from elite sports, people from popular sports, social workers, and lots more people without the notes to immediately say what they do.

(Yes there's also quite a lot of retired career politicians).
Uh, what? Do you really think Google's special results at the top are "organic"? Of course they aren't, they are trying to put the most useful information at the top of the page. No conspiracy there...

I noticed in all the posted screenshots that while Google does link to itself from time to time, it also links to alternatives. In the health example, it linked to Google Health, but also the Mayo Clinic and WebMD. This is just an example of Google trying to provide the most useful answer to the question you typed in. Not a conspiracy :)

Flagged for senseless Google hate.
By that definition, there is no such thing as free period.
Or, some enterprising Arc programmer could add inboxes to HN and submit the patch to pg. I'm quite fond of using that feature on reddit. Although it is used somewhat rarely, it comes in handy when I do need it.
Thanks for the note. I'd love to live with someone who's a part of this intimate community.

My apologies if it was out of place, but I'd seen notes like this before from others:

I disagree.

The cliff is merely another aspect of risk to the stock-based compensation portion of the package. Personally, I don't put much value on it to begin with, since even half a percent is a bit skimpy given current exits.

Of a $48million exit, it's only $60k extra for that cliff year. It's not pocket change, but it's not an insane risk. If the chance of an exit is 20%, we're down to $12k. I'd rather have that $12k in salary plus a cliff than the other way around.
Shouldn't the nonce be different for each password rather than for each install (I take it that by "install" you mean a server or an application installation)?

Nonce-per-password is used in BCrypt and while I don't know much about security, that's the vibe I'm getting from the folks who do.
The CTO needs to be part of the executive team, so they don't have the luxury of ignoring the business objectives. The CTO should be able to make a business case for investing in quality engineering. Quality engineering has benefits for the business, but they are not always worth the price.

Engineers are the only ones who can advocate for pristine code without tradeoffs, and I would argue that great engineers care enough about the business to not do that. Really great engineers just build the pristine code in the same amount of time regular engineers would have taken to get a simple version almost-working.

I actually like the idea of "technical henchman", though!
Depends on the country and how much pull you have with law enforcement I guess. In a country like Russia with a pretty successful organized crime cartel I don't think it's impossible to pull off.
Just curious, how many are willing to pay in times of free apps and sites like Flipboard, Pulse, Taptu, Utopic.me, XYDO etc?
It is completely reasonable for a layman to believe that his files are protected by a password, and therefore that nobody can access those files without the password. You don't have to be an idiot to have that mental model, especially when Dropbox reinforce it with explicit statements like "Dropbox employees aren't able to access user files".

It's a consumer service, and consumers don't know or care how encryption works. They just need to be told the consequences of whatever technical decisions have been made on their behalf, so it's important for Dropbox to be honest in explaining them.
Dropbox is now targeting businesses: https://www.dropbox.com/teams
If its us (crashpadder.com) - sorry for the inconvenience. Email us hello [at] crashpadder.com and we'll do all we can when we're back up.

We'd moved to AWS from an even worse host a few months ago, and until this morning had been pretty impressed...
Squirrels have their eyes on the sides of their heads (herbivore norm). They live in trees, jumping from branch to branch.

They do it by moving their head - watch for a while, they almost always run a little bit along the branch before jumping. Sort of like synthetic aperture radar.
isn't by definition a monopoly the highest standard of inherent quality? (unless of course there has been coercion/force/aggression)

i kinda think that google got a 100% monopoly because at the time they were the best search engine (and remained so). and as soon as someone comes along who is better, the monopoly will end (i use ddg but i'll admit it's not as good. i like some of the cool hacks and features so i'm trying to stick with it). am i wrong?
Hmm, taken literally, this is a perfect example of Betteridge's Law, as I won't be around in 1,000 years to read anything. Rather than just the usual discussion of bit rot, I personally would wonder if humans will still exist in 1,000 years, and if we do, if we will still read.
Raising interest rates will actually improve the economy for this reason, but policy makers don't understand this. Read more here http://www.amazon.com/The-Great-Rebalancing-Conflict-Perilou...

The biggest thing that I’ve seen in the news haven’t come from lies but from removal of context.

Anything can be made more inflammatory if you remove key details while still remaining factually correct.

- Tim punched Bob

- Bob punched Tim

- Bob and Tim shake hands

Reported as...

- Bob punched Tim

Factually correct but lacking context. Unless the reader knows the entire story be putting it together from multiple reports, this will create a skewed view of any report. This happens all the time with headline circulation where nobody reads the article.

If you’ve ever seen reporting or articles on something where you have deep expertise, you’ll spot it immediately because you know exactly what’s been left out. Nobody else does though.

And honestly, I have no idea what to do about it unless somebody can create a site to aggregate news from multiple sources to highlight what’s missing from each one.
Yes we should, because both are apt.
> That’s...exactly the point. Collective bargaining (aka freedom of association) swings the balance between of power intentionally, but that doesn’t automatically make it anti-competition.

You can’t have it both ways. Either a single organization has the power to completely deprive a company of the labor supply it needs or it’s competitive.

C'mon are you serious? I'm not getting trolled into fact-checking 20 bogus claims. Why don't you pick one. What's the single most convincing evidence of election fraud in that list?
Sure, by CI I mean continuous integration, which is a huge topic but with a simple goal, which is to be able to safety introduce changes to a project by one or more developers.
It's usually related with solid testing strategies, static code analysis and the software that puts both things together.
Yes, all other things being equal including level of experience, a woman makes about 98% as a man.

But how many women are afforded the opportunities to attain the job and life experience it takes to make as much as a man at the same job?

Once again -- stop thinking equality and start thinking equity.
The accuracy largely comes from the fact that addition rarely requires carrying more than a single digit. So it's easy to pattern match from single digit problems that it was previously trained on.

With multiplication, which requires much more extensive cross-column interaction, accuracy falls off a cliff with anything more than a few digits.
I watch lots of videos on guns, cars, metalworking and history with the former two mostly geared toward history and manufacturing.

I never see (amateur) political talking heads recommended. It's all trash pop-history talking heads, semi-trash documentaries and low brow entertainment related to cars and guns (e.g. demo ranch and whistlin diesel).

I recently (like yesterday) watched a semi-political talking head discuss the economics of OnlyFans after a friend linked to that particular person's analysis so it'll be interesting to see if the algo tries to drag my content toward more talking heads.

My Code Jam solutions always shared a lot of code -- all the boilerplate for reading inputs, parsing integers, iterating over test cases, and writing out results.

Because of that, it seems like Code Jam is an artificially easy test case for this sort of identification -- I'm pretty sure a human could look at my solutions and conclude they were obviously all written by the same person.
Taking your question at face value, some people say "arseholes", some people say "assholes", and some people just say "holes". We can factor out the "holes" to get that some people say "arse", some people say "ass", and some say nothing extra. We get alternation in regular expressions by separating them with a vertical bar, so we have a regular expression:

arse | ass

That's optional, so we have the regular expression:

(arse|ass)+

Put back the "holes" and we get the regular expression:

(arse|ass)+holes

Clear?
I'm a big CoreOS fan and use it almost exclusively now (outside of OS X). I love to see it show up on HN.

This is universes old news.
Immigrant farm workers used to much lower pay and no healthcare or pension benefits wouldn't unionise to demand the same minimum wages as locals if migration was free and unrestricted either; firms dependent on immigrant labour would be the last people to complain if mass permanent immigration was encouraged.

As you pointed out, the existence of a visa system keeps things stable and voters - rich and poor - happy, just like the Black Death-era laws kept things stable and the landed gentry happy.

But the argument I responded to that implied neoliberal arguments for loosening restrictions on migration are analogous to fourteenth century laws prohibiting the movement of labour was frankly bizarre.

If that was what the Chinese government wanted they could simply block all access from China to github. In fact they did that once but had to undo that because the damage to the IT sector would be too big. China doesn't want github inaccessible, they want github to take down repos which the Chinese censor doesn’t like.
> I've noticed this because I ride bike to work regardless of weather, and in January in Finland, that means I'm almost alone on those nice bike paths (which are fairly well cleared of snow).

I live in Arlington, VA, directly across the river from D.C. Now that it's getting to be spring again, I've been noticing far more people walking and biking places. When it rains or snows, I've also noticed the foot and bike traffic are drastically reduced.

We definitely need the capacity to handle inclement weather in our transportation network.
I'm actually working on one (https://github.com/blackhole89/notekit). It's native (Gtk+/C++) rather than Electron, too.
> We failed in our goal.

Simply by admitting this, you've already contradicted the person I was responding to.

His entire scribe is "what is failure? have we really failed? no" instead of "yeah we failed, but we can learn from it"

Failure is fine. Failure is expected. Failure is the best way to learn an iterate.

But then don't say "well we always got what we wanted out of it anyway, which was to learn" when your goal was "to build the ultimate fighter jet at this budget in this timeline"
The liberals abstained but the far left like the NDP and Greens and the centrist conservative party all voted in favour. Overall, they would be included in voting in favour but abstaining was just politics.

I think the reality is that it's not really genocide. It's not a holocaust in that sense. Rather than genocide, the reality is that it's Gulags. Communism basically can't function without some sort of forced labour. Vietnam has their "Rehab concentration camps", USSR had the gulags, North Korea has their concentration camps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pukchang_concentration_camp

It's not genocide exactly. The problem is that China can't give up their concentration camps.
And you still get the military benefits from that. Like the value of Starlink for military operations is huge.
Just because we SPEND money doesnt mean that the price is VALID.

"Medicine" is grossly overpriced.

our entire model is FUCKED.

Source: designed and built and commissioned several hospitals and an entire family of doctors. Fuck the US health care system and fuck the military-industrial-spyware-congressional-graft system. I was the tech designer for SF General (before Zuck stuck his name on it) (I designed the entire nurse call system there, among many other things)

My brother was the head of the VA for Alaska, commander of the 10th medical wing USAF, personal flight surgeon to the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the pentagon.

Grandmother was a surgical nurse for decades in Silicon Valley.

Top cardiologist in California (and mayor of Saratoga)

Aunt is top NICU nurse at El Camino Hospital (which I was TPM on building...

Among other many accolades that my family has; we all agree - Healthcare is GROSSLY overpriced and BS.

FFS I had to go to the hospital recently and they charged me $4,000 for the ride to the hospital and $12,000 for giving me vitamins and holding me over night.

FUCK the medical industry pricing.
>“There’s no doubt it was something beyond anything we know or understand. […] I have concerns, but I don’t think we can do anything about it. I think this is beyond us. So: Quit worrying about it.” --Lt. Colonel Charles Halt, USAF, who actually experienced the Rendlesham Forest incident

Col Halt is not a UFO researcher. He has other primary duties. David Fravor (the tic tac guy) does a good job on Lex Fridman's podcast of explaining why the folks that experience these things can't/don't/won't do anything about it. Basically it's somebody else's job. So don't blame them.
Most bald guys have hair just not that much on the top. Shaping the remaining hair in a fashionable way is imperative. Looking like George Carlin in his later years with long unkempt hair on the sides and a bald spot on the top is not sexy.
Extinction
It's not being pedantic; it's moving the goalposts. The UN's definition of genocide does not require death camps.

> The frontend is a React app based on Redux Toolkit and Recoil.js

Hey, great to see Redux Toolkit being used in the wild! Would love to hear your thoughts on using RTK, and I'm particularly curious about the combination of RTK + Recoil together. What use cases are you using each of those for?

Please let me know if you've got any suggestions for improving RTK! I'm usually in the Reactiflux Discord evenings US time, and always happy to chat.
Neuromancer was amazing. I realize now that Gibson's books monotonically decreased in quality.

The books have gotten thicker, artier, more self-indulgent, and weaker.

I'm sure he'd like to recapture the magic he had at 34, but maybe it requires the fear he spoke of. And an absolute ignorance about computers and networks.

I think it shares more with The Maltese Falcon than with any SciFi.

Saw WG complaining about GamerGate recently and thought how much he's aged, and how ungracefully, since GG and Operation Disrespectful Nod reminded me of the Panther Moderns.
Clicking on things is the primary and often only interface that most Windows programs support. And frankly it can be much easier to script some actions with something like Java's Robot class than to dig through the cesspool that is MSDN trying to figure out how to get the same simple things done with the overly-complicated and poorly documented COM interfaces that might or might not exist.

Also, I'm not sure which is more embarrassing, having to write code to interact with the GUI or having to write VBA code.
Dangerous ideas? Whose clutching pearls now?
Because Google as Kotlin's Godfather is stagnating Android Java on purpose, on the proper JVM we don't have such constraints.
No more than a mall sells customers to the retailers it contains. (With the caveat that, with Apple, customers aren't allowed to shop at another mall.) The mall (app store) may let retailers advertise via kiosks and banners etc, but that's basically keyword advertising, not selling personal information.

Providing a marketplace like this might loosely be construed as "selling customers" but it is in a massively different class of less abusive behavior than how facebook sells customers.
Also, "Reactionary Philosophy in an Enormous, Planet-Sized Nutshell" for a look at the "pro" side. It turns out that giving neoreaction a "platform" is not at all incompatible with also offering a rather robust critique of it, that many people might even see as "denouncing" the ideology and its proponents. (But clearly, this level of intellectual subtlety is rather beyond the understanding of NYTimes journalists or editors!)
Some folks could be at work so might have been a good idea to avoid swearwords on the front/submit page.
Interesting view, thanks for sharing it. You are likely more qualified to categorize music as you have proper musical training. To me, the fact, that the concert is entirely improvised already places a foot on the jazz camp, considering it's an important characteristic of the genre that is not strongly shared by other genres.

The second argument can be tricky though, if I played you Technical Death Metal in the piano you may think it's classical music too [0]. There is something more to being a genre than the notes that are played, I think...

This is great for Kotlin! But I need to make an observation about Google...

They're also co-founders of the Rust Foundation[1], the major member of the select group of companies at the table at WHATWG[2] (which amongst other things decide on the future of web technologies, including JavaScript) due to their browser's market share, and a "visionary sponsor" of the Python Foundation[3].

They also develop a few programming languages themselves, like Go and Dart (not to mention their polemic Java implementation), besides their own OS (Android, Fuchsia).

A company as large as Google is kind of expected to be using every technology in existence, but I still find it interesting how they're also making sure they also play a major role in the evoluation of such technologies by being part of any Foundation that might have any relevance whatsoever (if not via their own languages, at least by exerting influence on everything).

Can't read, eyes hurt.
The real buried lede is that no one is sure of the actual cause.
> This is exactly the sort of thing you manage to convince yourself of when you don't want to be a part of the people calling themselves the good guys, but also don't want to throw in with the sorts of people comfortable with being called the bad guys. Everybody in the Blue Tribe is going to precisely see the toxic nature of this statement.

This is Cade Metz deliberately stating positions in an inflammatory way and getting you to fall for it. Reading the article you see the careful position of trying to tease out correlation from causation.
That's a great approach. By restricting yourself to one new thing, you can evaluate it in isolation.

Then, when you make your decision about that new thing, you'll know why you like/dislike it. Your decision won't be clouded by arbitrary things like libraries inter-dependencies.
I never heard of Meerkat before this article. So the press blitz wasn't that great.
So we're just going to ignore the rather awesome fact that there was "Special Agent Force" who was reckless and didn't abide by the rules, but got the criminals in the end?
It sounds like a graphic novel or something.
Clarification: I have the flag option, but not the down arrow. What is the threshold for the down arrow appear?

Sorry for the miscommunication, I had assumed that both functions were enabled at the same threshold.
Thanks for the tips. I'm super-hyped that blaze was open sourced, it is one of the best systems I've ever had the pleasure to work with.

A couple more questions :)

* Any pointers for adding Scala (sbt?) support? I'd start here: http://bazel.io/docs/skylark/rules.html.

* Suppose I develop using multiple repos and http_archive. I'd like to make changes both to a library and to a project that depends on it simultaneously, without committing the library patches to master github repo just yet. Is there a way to configure the http_archive, let's say by saying "bazel --mode=local", and have it customize the remote archive http to use a different url (say, my github's fork instead of the master github) for that build?
Any idea how this works, what technologies, ideas they are using for their spatial logic?

Another project with similar ideas is http://www.paralleluniverse.co/ . Wonder how it compares ?

(pron you around, have you heard of Improbable before?)
It'd be interesting to know how Booking.com, a good example of these tactics, uses "scarcity" messages, as every time I try to book something on that website I always get messages like "only 2 left" and "5 people looking at this right now".
There are hardly ever trenchant criticisms of Apple here. It's the same ohhh they're too proprietary, form over function, their users are sheep, etc, etc. There are good criticisms of Apple to be made, but the crowd here almost never makes them.
I use my text editor for a bunch of ad-hoc edits, not just working on projects, but you are right. Speed is less important than buggy behavior (I say this not as a hater, but as someone who is working in Atom all day)
