All I had to compare Google to were my limited experiences in the other two. I thought Google was the most laid-back of the three.

No doubt you've heard about dinner cafes opening late to keep employees at their desks, but the reality is that a lot of people's productivity slows down from 5-6 anyway (that was ping pong hour for me). Go! cafe is open all day, and lots of people grab a sandwich before skedaddling at 5pm sharp.

Maybe there's more pressure at some teams to put in more hours. I have no data on that.

I think overall vacation benefits, hours, and pa/maternity leave are slightly better, but I'm not certain.
This seems interesting. Given Netflix's admitted love of RX [Reactive Extensions] I'm somewhat curious if there is a design reason that this uses Promises instead of (RxJS/Bacon/...) Observables. At first skim this seems like it could be even more useful as an Observable model.

I'm also curious if there is a design reason they aren't using ES5 defineProperty/ES6 property syntax over get()/set().
I think I understand your argument, but I think it's just excuse-making by legislators.

The agreements must be voted into law to become binding.

The agreements are typically published, for public review, for many months prior to that vote.

There is nothing in these trade agreements so prohibitively complex that a legislator's office --- reasonably well funded in the US --- can't read and generate an opinion on it.

The reality, I think, is that most US legislators want to vote "yes" on these treaties. They're jobs bills, and the US has an overwhelming advantage in trade negotiations due to our market power, so the odds of them being slanted against our interests are very low.

There are very good reasons not to vote for the bills --- for instance, in the case of the TPP, you might be worried about stricter IP laws preventing people from obtaining the best possible medical care. But those issues primarily affect people who will never vote.

So instead, the legislators wave their hands and shout "ONOZ SECRET LAWS" and pretend that the treaties are a fait accompli, which saves them the trouble of actually making a stand on the merits.

The situation might be very different for smaller countries (I don't know really anything about how treaties are ratified in Europe). But for countries with the market and political clout of, say, Germany or France, it seems unlikely that the dynamics are that much different.
Well, you can go buy a battery.
(Misspelled, corrected.) "First right of refusal". I'm not sure if it is the right phrase in the context of IP assignment, but it was a good analogy to what they asked: basically they'd say whatever you'd invent in the next 18-months after your employment, you have to show us first and we decide if it is related to our business and therefore ours.

I'm the author and I partly agree with you about yet another tragedy of the commons, though it has worked fairly well for share extensions. I have a few apps that are registered to handle photos when I bring up the share sheet that I'll never use in that context, so I moved them to the end of that line of extensions and also removed a bunch from appearing there.

Sorry, you missed the point. My life is better overall because React solves a ton of problems other frameworks are battling with. However, we still have to rewrite this same widgets over and over - energy that may be better spent elsewhere if that were possible. These innovations are not iterative from this point of view - they re-level the field. My point was: "there has got to be a better way of dealing with these basic components"

fwiw, I thought this little project was really cool.
You're getting two different sets of documents confused.

The negotiating documents --- the early drafts of the treaty, which are not binding --- are certainly not public. They are closely guarded secrets; that secrecy exists to protect the "integrity" of the negotiating process, for a very narrow definition of "integrity" that mostly means "minimized direct lobbying".

But the treaties themselves have to be ratified to become binding law. They are published, for public review, before that happens.

Wikileaks is effectively asking for people to leak the negotiating documents.

Reconstructing Payloads with Lua
Yup. I haven't built anything of significance in it (yet) but it's proved really easy to learn, and (again, in my limited experience) rock-solid stable and fast enough:

A trivial example:

#lang racket
(require net/url
racket/gui/base
racket/sandbox)

(define (menu-file-exit-click item control)
(exit 0))

(define frame
(new frame% [label "Demo"] [height 480] [width 640]))

(define menu
(new menu-bar% [parent frame]))

(define menu-file
(new menu% [parent menu] [label "&File"]))

(define menu-file-exit
(new menu-item% [parent menu-file] [label "E&xit"] [callback menu-file-exit-click]))

(send frame show #t)

... is all you need to create a basic GUI app with a File -> Exit menu option. And that really is all there is - no resource compilation, no code-behind, no separate languages for expressing the UI and the actions connected to it.

Typically but obviously not for TTIP, as we see in the articles.
The reality is the reverse of what you state.

The people who think our current use of coal is "cheaper" are economically ignorant, as it generates many dollars of externalities in pollution that affect health. That cost is born by taxpayers, so by avoiding it, the country saves money and in return passes some on to the person with solar on their roof.

I personally would prefer the more direct and elegant solution of a revenue neutral carbon (& GHG) tax, rather than the current tangle of overlapping regulations, but the immediate result would be the same, people with solar installations would be better off than those who didn't since they'd not need to pay the cost of carbon for electricity they generate themselves.

PCA typically implies that the high dimensional data (images) lie on a low dimensional linear manifold (the principal components). In this case the data of interest (images of people in dresses) likely lies in a very non-linear manifold, so non-linear methods would likely result in much more appropriate models. This is part of why deep learning and tensor methods work so well on image classification tasks.

Nonlinear methods would require much more data, unfortunately.

I think you're referring to the TPP here, not TTIP, which is the agreement being discussed in the article.

That TPP is an attempt to coerce Asian countries into adopting US-friendly IP laws is surely one of the most poorly-kept secrets in geopolitics. It's the stated purpose of the treaty. It's why the US is spending the time and effort on it.

So I'm not clear on what "naming and shaming" you're referring to, or why it hasn't (a) already been accomplished or (b) will easily be accomplished once the treaty goes into public review.
Become an autodidact on your own time.

That means investing money and time into your own education and skills. Then, when you have the skills, you can apply at startups with examples of your work.

The same way artists create art for their gallery/portfolio and show that portfolio before getting a job. Programming is an art - you should have a portfolio.

That means you need to invest time into creating that portfolio.
I think this is a non-sequitur, as T-TIP is still being negotiated. There's no treaty to publish yet.
I went from TS to Google and personally know quite a few:
- They only enforce non-compete if you actually go to a competitor (like rentech, KCG, Citadel). You also get paid your normal salary during those time (just to chill around). One of my friends is using that to travel all over the place. If you go to other tech company like FB or Google then you can start the next day (which I did)
- I only have 2 years non-solicit so may be that's a recent change. It doesn't affect you that much though (you can't refer people you know from TS or give them recommendation, that's it).
- If you actually follow the law suits, those people actually tried to upload model to external servers. If you try to do that with Google's HIP code I'm pretty sure they would do the same to you.

I picked TS offer over Google offer before and now that I'm on the other side I regretted nothing. Both are great place to work.

Any change that dcron could manage the job scripts itself? I.E. you store the raw command scripts in dcon, then reference them in the create a job endpoint?

For example:

POST /scripts --data 'node /home/node/myJob.js'

That returns a script id { "script_id": "507f1f77bcf86cd799439011" }

Then:

POST /jobs --data '{
"name":"cron_job",
"schedule":"@every 2s",
"script": "507f1f77bcf86cd799439011",
"owner":"foo",
"owner_email":"foo@bar.com"
}'

This way you don't have to manage/create the scripts on each node manually.
1. Learn to program for fun. Forget you are looking for a job at a startup and build something you like. Having said that if you can learn HTML, CSS, Javascript, JQuery, Angular it would make you very marketable.

2. Apply for jobs on a daily basis, searching for jobs listed in the last 24 hours.

Don't work for free (just do more open source rather than doing that)

If the above doesn't work expand your job search to include all companies not just start ups. Also expand to other cities if required and be prepared to relocate.

Thank you for introducing me to this hitherto unknown.
Oh thank you very much, this changed my understanding of NP and what the fuss is all about (I was thinking more of a TM which has access to randomness, as the name suggests for me). I think need to read more about precisely what "multiple possible transitions from any given state" allows.

Btw, is there a class that is actually "Turing machines with randomness in polynomial time" and is it more powerful than "Turing machines in polynomial time"?
Holy crap, what generalization!

Do you honestly only see art's place in human society and our history as nothing more than distraction? Do you honestly believe Google only has done mind pollution to the world? Are all financial services nothing but stealing to you.

Your above statement only shows one thing: you are either extremely ignorant or you are extremely sanctimonious, probably both.

You are fully entitled to your own opinions, but you don't have the right to belittle other people's passion and interest.

To be honest what motivates you seems like nothing but vanity to me, good for you I guess, but I'm glad there are lots of people who don't share the same mind set.
Or, maybe better phrasing, bought low and sold high? Because 'what something is worth' is a dynamic variable affected by time and circumstance. Arbitrage is understanding that variable, nothing more.
Thanks! I'll take a look at these projects.

By recovery I mean something like "f(x,y,z;" triggering an error message "did you miss ')' here?", with parser recovering and proceeding further, in a hope to report more errors in a single run - see how Clang handles this, with a handcrafted recursive descent parser.

Backtracking does not help here, it must be done with custom heuristics at each node. I am doing this kind of things declaratively on top of an elaborate PEG-based generator (using an idea of signals attached to both successful and failed branches, and then choosing which signals to execute based on the exact points of failure), but would be very interested to see a lightweight combinator-based solution.

I've been doing a lot of work with Kettle as well, and it is a handy tool (albeit with a few warts).

What I think would be handy for use in an organizational setting, where "business users" might want to use some of the transforms, would be a way to publish transforms somewhere, making them discoverable and accessible to others. I don't want to make it sound like I'm talking about UDDI or anything (although, thinking about it, maybe you could use that), but just an easy way for a Joe Business User to get a list of available transforms, some explanation of what they do, what input they take, what they output, etc. And maybe a way to make changes to the "small stuff" (like the input and output path, for example) without having to load up Spoon and edit the ktr that way. Since transforms can be parameterized, that should be doable...

You could also picture combining this with something like a Yahoo Pipes like web interface, to let you define your own chains of transforms and operations as well. And hell, a web-based interface for editing ktr files would be a pretty interesting thing as well, if somebody would build it.
They are effectively giving you a pay cut, that's true.

But, you can quit, and if you do so without signing the non-compete agreement, then it has no force.
That was still vague to me so I downloaded the app and I tried it out.

Heavy emphasis on the non-specialist. So you have these cards that you can add text, buttons linking to another card, or an image to. You can add a card adjacent (up,dowm,left,right) to the card you're on and keep growing in any direction. The buttons can link to any card.

It reminds of a program I use on an old Macintosh back in the early early 90's where you would create a "page" and "buttons" that would link to other pages (HyperCard?), but much more basic.

You share your creation and it sends a link hosted on webmaker.org.

I focus on job posts by people in the US and emphasize my almost 2 decade experience in web development, my location (California), and my reliability. Clients in the US often prefer freelancers in the US because they've been burned by overseas devs before. I also mostly apply to jobs that aren't that easy to people with less experience (so I avoid any Wordpress/Joomla/Magento jobs, or any of the "convert PSD to HTML" jobs). It always helps to read the job posting entirely and ask clarifying questions in the proposal (shows that you've read it). Also, try to customize your proposal to each client as much as possible.

Specifically, GM is presented by Monsanto et al (and in the linked article by G.W. Bush) as "scientifically non-dangerous" because the purpose of most of the modifications is not stated. The modifications are promoted as making the plants "resistant" hiding the fact that the resistance is to the pesticides developed by Monsanto.

The whole IP aspect of GM is also intentionally not mentioned. Bush mentions the benefits "to Africa" whereas the poorest countries get the worst aspects of GM exactly because of IP rights which are being kept by Monsanto et al.

"Science" in that context is just a word used to induce the good feeling, the same way "think of the children" is.

I'm curious what you consider "worthwhile" endeavors, both personally (personal satisfaction/happiness) and globally (something society should strive for), and how or if they differ.
Interesting concept, but I'm skeptical that the economics work out. It's true you save on office space, but you lose on volume of clients (patients) you can see at any given time.

On top of that, in a practice, doctors are able to "outsource" a lot of the low-skill labor to either office managers or nurses - the receptionist takes your paperwork and handles the cancellations, the nurse draws blood and takes your vitals, the doctor just rolls in for 15 minutes and listens to your complaint and read the results.

There are already doctor practices that are doing this, but they're going the opposite direction and charging much more or annual fees, for the convenience factor of having the doctor come to you.
I don't have any plans right now but I might think about it.
