I guess that test track for driverless cars that they've been in talks with [1], and all those auto executives and autonomous vehicle engineers they're hiring are going to work on something else?

Just because they've been a computer company thus far doesn't mean it'll always be that way. They're the largest company on earth with over $100B in the bank and incredible consumer goodwill looking for any space with large profit margin potential where they can differentiate with good user experience.

The AppleTV is intended to work as an always-connected device, so apps can reasonably be expected to download the assets as they are needed.

iOS9 adds the on demand resources feature that does exactly that.

According to https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documenta... you can have 2GB of resources in use at once, for a total of 20GB overall.
Time is a struct, so nil is not a legal value. You would have to store a pointer (var t *time.Time) instead.
Apple can also fork LLVM if they want to assert more control.
I hear where you're coming from, but if he had scrubbed all of that from this post and gone with "professional" -- "I am a self-taught web dev looking for work, I am familiar with Ruby and have recently been doing API work, I want to work remotely and can start immediately" -- would it have gotten anywhere near the front page of HN?

You can't simply fuck around with your boss without having, at least, a second source of monthly. Next time try to get some freelancing gig before making such a dangerous move.

I don't approve your ex boss behaviour but sometimes companies struggle to get your pay check at the end of the month, it really depends on companies.

One advice: Being "good with computers" does not means that you're worth a 75K wage. When someone in India does Rails apps cheaper, you need the skills to prove 75K and even more. Having a college degree proves that you've learnt the basic toolset to be able to solve problems, however you can learn it on your own. Your challenge is to prove you posses those skills without a diploma. It's possible, I'm a drop out myself, but it's takes time, effort and networking to get there.

Then people started buying 3rd party crappy stylus, because drawing with just your finger is hard. If there's demand, it would be stupid not offering a solution.

This is harsh advice, but it's also some of the best advice in this thread (along with mmaunder's comment). OP should definitely take heed.

So what's a better time library?
Or, rather, how could Go's time library better accommodate these things?
It's also not clear that a standard library time package should be the be-all, end-all time management solution. I don't see any reason for a standard time package to handle historical dates, for example.

Google found a nice solution to the leap second issue: we "smear" the second over the day before it occurs by making tiny changes to the time over the day. This means user applications don't need to be aware of it: http://googleblog.blogspot.com.au/2011/09/time-technology-an...

Really? as a CEO those are signals for you? the profile picture is debatable but the endorsements are just a joke and everyone knows it, people just exchange them like they do with twitter follows. If anything, too many of them would be a negative signal for me.

Completely agree with the rest of your comment though.
Actually I don't think sexual orientation and definitely not weight are 'protected classes' against discrimination with hiring and firing. Sexual orientation might be protected now with some of the recent Supreme Court rulings, but weight is sadly something employers can discriminate against with no repercussions.

I agree with most of this except for the bit about any of the first locations being in Comcast territory. I'm a Google Fiber subscriber in Provo, UT. Before Google got here I was on Comcast.

Our cap was 50 Mbit which wasn't bad, but then when Google came in, Comcast upped that plan to 250 Mbit with no hardware upgrades or anything for the same price which was really nice.

The main thing I noticed though is that reliability with Google is a lot higher. My Comcast connection would go down for an hour or two about once a week, but my fiber connection seems to always be fine.

As far as cities bending over backwards, Provo definitely did that. We had put in a citywide fiber network using a $40 million bond and then ended up selling it to Google for $1. It was definitely the best move considering the company that had been operating it before defaulted on their payments, but Provo will still be paying for the network for 12 years.
For those of you, like me, outside the US, be prepared for some interesting questions on ordering a HackRFOne (or I suspect the BladeRF or USRP or probably any other transmit-capable SDR):

Your recent SparkFun order contains 2x WRL-00705, 1x WRL-13001. This item is export controlled by the United States government. By law, we are required to gather the following information from you as the importer:

1)	Do you intend to sell or send this item to anyone in any of the following countries: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, or Syria?

2)	Will this be used in any military applications?

3)	Will you be the ultimate end user of this item? If no, please go to 3.a.

3.a) If you are not the end user, who will this item be sold or transferred to? Please include full name, physical address, end use and confirmation that they will not sell or transfer this item to any party in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria.

4)	What is the end use of this item?

5)	Where is the location where the item will be used?

Response to all five questions is necessary before we are able to ship your order.

Would I hire someone who swears and uses f* in a conversation with his boss? No.

Would I hire someone who creates a blog to make his boss look bad? No.

All of this with 4 kids I surely would not trust on you any responsibibility acting so irresponsible.

So everyone here who wants to hire this guy, a have nice time.

My advice: Try to understand why your boss only wanted you give $45k and work on yourself.
Yes. This is an excellent point. There are some websites that show data for salaries (including outliers for extremely low and extremely high values). It is very much worth it to search around for them as opposed to asking other programmers. Some companies routinely pay up to double (or half) of the median rate, so anecdotes can give you very misleading numbers.

$70K may very well be a reasonable starting salary for the OP. I think my main point was that $45K is at least twice the base pay for the plastics factory work (although that probably pays overtime), so even if being abused it still might be worth it as a stepping stone.

I honestly wouldn't worry about having too many job switches at the beginning of a career path like this. You can always say, "I'm trying to get as much experience as possible, and accepted some jobs at a very low pay. I'm looking for stable work now, though."
I felt this way at first, but not after reading the entire post. Yes, it was emotionally driven and certainly goes against a lot of rules for job solicitation.

But I actually think he's shown himself to have good character here. He isn't attempting to sabotage the company even though he could. This happened very recently so you'd expect some of the emotions to be raw. I don't think this person is "high risk" if firing them after abusing them means that they're still loyal enough to you to not reveal your identity publicly. It sounds like this person was a trooper right up to the very end and is in fact pretty much the opposite of high risk.

So you're saying he's some sort of double agent.
I don't think he was wrong to post this at all. Stories of bad actors in the CEO space ought to be exposed, and it sounds like he was treated very shabbily indeed.

But I'll quickly qualify that by adding that it can really only be a one-time catharsis. He can't afford to make a habit out of this kind of post. In that sense, I agree with you. Professionalism is important in terms of him getting out of the hole he's in and getting a proper gig, but if he had been professional with this post I'd never have seen it or read it.

Brokedev: My advice would be to follow the recommendations given by "ecliptik" above. Work on your professional development: your resume, LinkedIn, GitHub, etc. Then market yourself like crazy with a good personal blog (showing what you're doing, learning, and experimenting with) and Twitter. Follow programmers you admire, and use Lists on Twitter to create a custom list of RoR developers so you can check out what they're working on and filter out noise. That won't be hard to do. Then keep at it. Make sure you're programming every day. Get involved in an open source project, and get your code on GitHub.

Imho he should apply for jobs, apply more and even apply more. Having studied literature, I have jumped ships from publishing to tourism (marketing analyst) to being a full time data analyst via doing the work and having a resume to show it.

Having an application, that differentiates one from the competition did maybe help a little bit.

>Companies like Uber and AirBnB (and countless others) simply pretend that those complexities don't exist -- the market to be disrupted only because they're willing to completely circumvent laws and standards -- and money starts falling on their heads.

This is entirely false. Uber's legal and political staff is _huge_. I'd assume the same for Airbnb.

No one is "pretending" they don't exist. They're building a product, allowing consumers to use better alternatives and challenging local authorities on their backwards ways.

Stop talking and start doing.

Let me get this straight.

Your contention is that if companies did not have to buy advertising to sell their products, they would subtract the advertising cost from their sales price?

You have a very unusual definition of being "fooled". Paying for something you can get for free is what most people would recognize as being a fool.

That companies decide to choose a different business model to offer for free what their competitors make you pay for is just innovation. It has zilch to do with being "honest" or "straight up".

Here's an interesting question: how come people buy bottled water when they could just drink tap water? I mean, shouldn't people be "fooled" by all the "free" water? How come the "straight up", "honest" water bottle company that sells its product at a price manages not to die? (Hint: it's not because they're not advertising).

IPVanish Review 2015 Reveals Hidden Facts About IPVanish
/u/space_lasers from Reddit clarified this far better than the Washington Post:

Government employees on the clock are not protected by the First Amendment, they are bound by it. The entire purpose of the First Amendment is to protect citizens from the government. When she's acting as an agent of the government, the Constitution protects us from her. She is not a private citizen when officially performing her duties; She is not Kim Davis, she is the Rowan County Clerk. She has no Freedom of Speech/Religion when speaking with the voice of the government because in that act she is the entity that Freedom of Speech/Religion protects us from.

So many people, most notably certain elected officials, completely misunderstand this very important distinction. This whole fiasco is nothing more than misinformed people kicking up a fuss about a very well-defined concept that they clearly don't understand.

Hiring is a filtering game. With 100 candidates, first thing you do is filter out 80, I wish more candidates would understand this.
If PyPy gets good enough, some of the need for C extensions should go away. Things such as "numpy" are written in C because numbers in Python are always boxed, that is, contained in a object. PyPy tries to figure out when that's not necessary, so it can use hardware arithmetic.

PyPy has to work very hard to do this, because you can muck with almost anything from anywhere with "setattr()" Even from other threads. So any guess PyPy makes has to be un-doable at any time. Python, the language, is what a naive interpreter such as CPython can do easily. In CPython, almost everything is a dictionary, and there are a lot of lookups. PyPy gets rid of much of that overhead. I'm enormously impressed that the PyPy crowd got it to work as well as they did.

This made me curious as to what the Perl Tidy formatter was like, as I use it often. You know, it's Perl, so maybe a few regexes here and there, and much wizardry.

Java, Dropwizard, JRuby | REMOTE (EU/Asia timezone) Contractor, part- or full-time

European mobile payment provider, but unlike the rest who are credit card based we support "normal" bank accounts, resulting in very low fees for merchants. We are well-funded and have traction in our country. Most of the brick and mortar businesses are integrated with us, and have large banks as partners.

Technology-wise we use simple and straight-forward frameworks and tools as dropwizard, hibernate, postgresql for internal and external APIs. JRuby and Rails for web portals and internal tools. We consume and provide a lot of APIs that come in all forms and shapes from soap, rest, files sent over FTP, etc.

You have strong skills in Java 7 or 8, write solid, robust and well-tested code. You are not afraid to jump into legacy code and refactor it if necessary. You prefer boring technology over the shiny new, and your implementation typically simplest way that works. At the current stage of the company you need to be self-motivated and find the work by yourself. Ideally you are also comfortable with Ruby.

We give you great flexibility when, how much and where you work. Timezones however should be European or Asian, at least in the beginning. You should commit to at least 3 days per week. Unfortunately we cannot afford silicon valley rates.

It sounds like you've had a bad experience with a former employee, but this is not blackmail. That's just standing up for himself.
