One of the main things I've noticed is that every person is different and therefore every team is different. Also teams evolve over time, so even when compromised by the same people you can look at them differently "each" day.

I think the management should start with observing and listening. By paying attention to what's going on in the team you can start influencing it by praising beneficial (e.g. helping to meat the team goals) behaviors and preventing the un-beneficial ones. Then of course, when you have expectations from people, its best to get them on board as soon as possible and not leave them wonder why they've been praised and why "punished". Providing clear feedback as soon as possible seems to really work.

Another big thing you should watch out is what kind of people you've got on your team - intrinsically driven or externally driven. The more intrinsically driven people you have the less structure you need - its more about setting goals for them and getting out of their way. The externally driven people require far more structure and management in order to make them meet their goals.

In the end, because things could change quite frequently, I think the most important thing is communication - clearly and as often as possible, go over what we are trying to achieve and what could we do better to achieve that faster. For instance, although I'm hugely internally motivated, I'm really happy when I meet my "boss" and we get through all the things we are doing properly and what things we are not. Not having this kind of meeting for a long time is actually really upsetting.

Of course this scratches only the surface of what management is. Good luck on making an awesome team.
I think if we depend on people to Be Good when there are big financial incentives not to, we're already screwed. We have to look at why the incentives are bad.

> With the price now high, other companies could conceivably make generic copies, since patents have long expired. One factor that could discourage that option is that Daraprim’s distribution is now tightly controlled, making it harder for generic companies to get the samples they need for the required testing.

This should've been the second paragraph of the article, not buried near the bottom. The author seems to be expecting a system to make legal monopolies behave nicely. Instead we should stop creating legal monopolies.
>There used to be a distinction between services offered on the web and apps running on the desktop (spyware, illegal). Windows 10 changed all that

I don't think you've paid much attention, but that had changed long before Windows 10. This is just Microsofts big foray into that dark market. For years other companies have done the same thing.
Well, these people are playing by the rules--the rules of the free market as rigged with regulation.

If we as a society had said "You know, it's more important that we have a secure, available supply of this drug than to be friendly to corporate interests" and had acted accordingly, this would've gone a bit differently.

As it is, the "legacy support" for pharmaceuticals is probably not going to be that large as new and improved things come out.
Unlike bitcoin, nothing I say in this comment can change the ownership of a safety deposit box. A few more things:

1. Ownership of the deposit box is not define by pin holders

2. Deposit boxes are tangible

3. Deposit boxes and contents have intrinsic value

3. Forgetting a pin doesn't effectively destroy the box and contents

4. The security of a deposit box is not defined by only math

I'm not trying to be pedantic, I'm just saying it is more complicated than that.
No, it was Einstein. I looked it up.

> Google's Grand Plan to Split Sentences (2014) [pdf] (techcrunch.com)
There are no simple answers here, and it very much depends on the team members, their history working together, their professionalism and maturity.

For junior / inexperienced teams a much more formal structure will have to be set in place, with lots of management input.

For more mature team members or teams who have a longer history working together less structure is required and perhaps even preferred because formal structure just tend to get in the way of getting things done.

Lastly be careful of trying to evaluate the merit of everyone's individual contribution. You get different contributor types, where you get the loner archetype who creates massive amounts of code but doesn't communicate with the rest of the team enough, or the team player who maybe don't write the same amounts of LOC's, but keeps your team cohesion healthy and happy.

You need all different types of contributors on a successful team, rather measure the teams output and reward everyone if the team perform. With the exception that if the team starts complaining about a single slacker in the team you address the issue.
I agree, I just can't see why people vilify poachers and not ranchers.
Is there an available script to capture Image from websites?

This monopoly doesn't sound very natural.
You could also use the comments on reddit in /r/programming and /r/startups and other related reddits to help get more data for seeding your corpus.

Or if you want to get more complex, find the reddit comments for every link that was submitted to HN and use that (but you have to be careful that you use "hacker" related reddits or it will sound too "reddity")
I'm inclined to disagree with repetition. Spaced repetition may be effective but taking something and describing it in your own words(elaboration) will help with retention AND comprehension. If you can explain something to someone else well enough for then to understand it, then you probably understand it decently enough to be well on your way to memorization.
Really? Tell us more! Why? How big a van? Is having no permanent address problem-free?
Thanks for letting me know.

Yes, I'm using CloudFlare, for its trivial SSL, DDOS protection, and caching.

I have CloudFlare's DDOS protection (the thing that causes captchas) set to "Essentially Off", the lowest available setting on their free plan.

I just tried to query https://api.ctwatch.net/domain/ycombinator.com multiple times, each on multiple Tor circuits, but was unable to trigger the CloudFlare captcha.

Did you see the captcha on my site, or is it just that you've noticed captchas on some other CloudFlare sites?

I can look into setting up a Tor hidden service, which'll allow Tor users to bypass CloudFlare, if CloudFlare is actually causing issues.
My anecdotal experience has been that people who are buying these are creative types or tech workers with remote work.

There was a gentleman who posted his entire progress and his financials for the Tiny House on HN a few weeks back, and parked his in rural Texas. There was another young man who placed his on some borrowed land near the University of Michigan, as what he paid to build his was substantially less than what his dorm would've cost.

Remember, tiny houses get you around zoning laws. They're not homes, they're RVs/trailers. You can get much more creative about where you place them compared to a house you'd have to build.
I'm somewhat shocked. This feels sort of like the Borg saying you don't need to assimilate anymore. Just be who you are! +1 for E&Y.
Government setting prices works for the NHS in the UK. If a drug is too expensive it just doesn't get authorised as a treatment and we go with something else. The collective bargaining power of the nationalised system effectively forces the pharmaceutical companies to the table everytime. They'd rather sell for some profit than no profit.

It's only because the pharma companies can deal with consumers in the US on an individual basis that you guys get screwed over so much on your pricing.

Who the hell uses an anti-virus in 2015? Those things slow down your PC by like 20% for almost no benefit at all. Just don't open suspicious executables (e.g. from torrents), keep your OS and tools up to date and lock your browser down when it comes to plugins and JS execution.
This is an excellent reply.
> That's bad.

Why? Why is it bad? Why does it matter if, say, elephants go extinct? If they're extinct they're not suffering.
What I learnt eating Sushi
Ranchers are breeding animals for food. Humans are omnivorous, and it relieves us of the burden of hours of hunting. Elephants are not poached for food, they are poached mainly for their tusks. One could reason that this is an egregiously unnecessary waste of one of the most intelligent species on Earth.
Another way to restrict competition is to stop competitors getting samples of your drug. Without samples of the original, it's impossible to prove a generic is equivalent.

Here's an example where patient safety rules were used to stop competitors getting samples: http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2014/09/co-...

Each open source project carry with it some model AAA game legacy. Starcraft 2 is for OpenRTS what Total Annihilation is for Spring, Age of Empire for 0ad, C&C for OpenRA.

For now, OpenRTS is specialized in micromanagement on cliffed/tiled terrains. All the game content is accessible from outside the code, using provided editors, XML and scripted langage. It is also Android (almost) ready. Those are the main differences with Spring.

When my house was built (probably 1920-ish) labour must have been very cheap, because the construction method is very labour-intensive. The whole house is built of brick, with double walls even for interior walls, complex 4-breasted chimney (brick also), windows with inlaid brick patterns, and so on. Since hundreds of thousands of these kind of houses were built around that time[1], there must have been armies of people involved.

Malicious Code Reviews: 11 Tips to Piss the Whole Team Off
The value of a human life to the individual who's life it belongs cannot be calculated in economic terms (at least for most people) because it is unbounded, i.e., there is not a price that most people will accept for their life. The economic value of a human life to society can be calculated.

Under your theory a fair method to price life saving drugs doesn't exist. The person getting the drugs will effectively extract infinite value while the company will only extract a finite value.
I don't know why the Transputer didn't take off.

I think for two reasons.

1) "too weird". This eventually dooms all of the goofy architectures like Transputer, IA-64, Transmeta, STI Cell, etc. Nobody wants to deal with something radically different unless there are compelling long-term reasons to do so. Granted, that's a little bit of a chicken-and-egg argument. Without adoption there won't be any long-term existence of an architecture.

2) Support tools and infrastructure. Intel and ARM have an incredible variety of support software. Any new architecture is at a disadvantage unless and until all that supporting stuff is written and works well. This means compilers, IDEs, development hardware, etc. Normally the tools for a new architecture are laughably primitive compared to existing environments. Which puts early adopters at a serious disadvantage.

We're in an x86-64 / ARM duopoly now. Nothing else is really relevant. Do you see anything that could change that in the near future? I sure don't.
OpenRTS team is currently working on a project using Entity System approach. This architecture will be certainly added to OpenRTS for much much much more extendability and flexibility.

So stay tuned :)

I just want to add to this - as a manager you need to take initiative and designate a leader when conflict arises

I had several months of constant arguing with a coworker about what amounted to mostly style issue (I found his adherence to the style-guide overly OCD and a giant waste of time)

However once the "boss" over ruled me and it was decided he's follow a stricter standard the issue was out of my hands, I was no longer responsible for the delays in deployment and to be honest I no longer really cared for the extra work.

You need to be clear about the chain of responsibility here. When it's two coworkers arguing it's just a matter of opinion.

PS: Don't underestimate you manager especially if they're experienced. The will have a lot fo insight if they are good. A lot of people are saying "Don't make it flat!!", but as long as you keep your boss in the loop - whatever organizational structure you bring you're still being "flat".

People are trading assets (ie., resources with market value). That's all that matters here. The form of those assets is irrelevant to the government.
That's a good term. Of the two, Fortran is relatively simple, while Ada has quite an expressive type system and built-in concurrency constructs, so I'd bet on it being Ada.

The thing that I think many people are ignoring is the positive effect that high drug prices (& profits) leads to in the economy.

Economic resources such as entrepeneurs, capital, equipment and scientists follow the money. If there's money to be made on Wall street, resources go there. If there's money to be made in mobile apps, resources go there.

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the price being so high now shows that the people buying it at that price truly value it that much. When it comes down to it, many people are willing to spend almost anything to stay alive and healthy.

The extremely high prices (and therefore profits) for specific drugs simply leads more resources to go into the development of additional similar money-making and life saving drugs.

It would be a shame if we capped drug prices at some artificially low level, as that lowers the incentive for additional resources to develop additional drugs.

To be fair, the workplace quality of these consultancies is really dependant on which country you work in. There are barely any good stories about the U.S. member firms, but I know from experience that they can be a great and rewarding place to work in Europe.

I can definitely understand the value of a Big 4 firm when it comes to accounting/auditing.

It is the IT Consultancy part that I have concerns with.

I understand the value of the Master & Apprentice model. However I would rather not pay for the Apprentice's training myself.

I know there was a push for separating the Accounting/Auditing side from the IT consultancy side after the Enron and related scandals but they have probably coalesced back together.
The Rise of Retro Gaming

It appears Martin Shkreli has tried this a couple times before.

http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2015/02/20/mor...

In the past, he actually planned to limit access to the existing drug (ie. the one he increased the price on) to prevent a competitor from creating a new generic formulation and gaining FDA approval. It appears he modeled this heinous approach on a maneuver by Celgene to prevent production of generic thalidomide.

http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2014/09/11/the...

It seems to me that the FDA needs sharper teeth in this arena to ensure access to an existing drug is not a limiting factor in the approval of generics.
Record Store Day is maddening. You have the huge name bands like Foo Fighters clogging up the vinyl plants for months to produce their stuff in huge quantities, and then you find out that they just used the brickwalled DR6 CD master for the source material, killing all of the benefits of vinyl, and leaving you with all of the downsides. The plants are obviously happy to have extra business, but they're not making enough money to buy more presses, so as these big name releases that actually sound worse than their digital counterparts are taking up more and more of a finite resource and preventing quality content from being pressed.

I have an extensive vinyl collection, but I'll be the first to tell you that the actual physical format is vastly inferior to CD.

The only benefit is that a decent amount of vinyl releases do not have the same mastering as the CD, due to the perception that many of the vinyl purchasers are audiophiles and want the higher dynamic range master or are only buying the vinyl to display it somewhere and never listen to it, and don't care about the DR on the release. But plenty of releases are also lazily done and are just the shitty CD masters with the RIAA curve applied and pressed onto an LP.

The Loudness War ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war ) needs to go away so I can go back to happily buying digital formats and stop dealing with all of this bullshit.
The reason we are discussing this aspect of Bitcoin is because the regulator of derivatives and futures (CFTC) recently ruled against a company (Coinflip, aka Derivabit) which was an exchange for those kinds of financial instruments for BTC.

From the article: “Scientology is cutting-edge technology for 1950. All of the most important policies were laid down by the 1960s.”

Yes, which is their problem. Scientology is stuck with 1930s science. The "E-meter" is just an skin resistance ohmmeter, the least useful channel of a lie detector. If they were keeping up, they'd have the Scientology E-Meter Bracelet, a custom version of a Bluetooth fitness bracelet, reporting pulse, respiration, and skin resistance back to HQ in Clearwater, FL. They'd have auditing over Skype, server farms analyzing member communications and movements, and functional MRI machines at major Scientology centers.

Even when they had a good idea, they didn't keep up with technology. In "How to Live though an Executive" (1953), L. Ron Hubbard describes what is instantly recognizable as a ticket system for handling problems. But it's all manual, with boards and hooks and paper cards and messengers. They never computerized that.

A competing organization, the Rosicrucians, had the same problem. They used to have a "Science building" at Rosicrucian Park in San Jose (if you're in Silicon Valley, visit; they have great architecture, gardens, and museums), but it was stuck with 1950s high school physics experiments. Now they're building an Alchemy Museum. So retro.

I wonder if you could get venture capital to start a modernized religion, using modern surveillance technology.
I'd love to see an Isa that uses something like a modified Huffman coding. That way you can have jump instructions have 30 bit immediates.
"Letting the market decide" requires you to actually have a market. If you have a market of manufacturers that all produce a product for around X, then it doesn't matter if I value the product at 100X or 1,000,000X. I'm still going to be paying around X + epsilon. That's the entire point of having a market.

You only see people asking questions about "well, who captures the extra value? what's fair?" etc when you don't have a market. When you actually have a market, then these questions cease to be relevant, because the price is already set.

The problem has nothing to do with free market concepts breaking down, or disagreements about what's fair. The problem is that we've artificially prevented this market from existing. Fix that and the problem goes away.
The extremists are successfully spreading their ideology worldwide, backed by a trillionaire oil state. The moderates are not. The Saudis are eager to inject their ideology into wherever the migrants go, they see this as a great opportunity. Migrants aren't evil, but they are vulnerable, it would be insane to not recognize this fact.

Interestingly, just yesterday this video blew up on Reddit:

A 34yr old man with a PhD who can't even get a job stacking shelves and who was better off 17 years ago after high school.

As a child/teen, he was told:

> Those six years staying in school getting your undergraduate and graduate degrees, will make a huge difference in the rest of your life

It's particularly weak since there is a significant network effect in Les grandes ecoles, having much smaller classes than US-style universities. Not all of the benefits of having been to one are down to the quality of the curriculum,

In any case I think it's foolish to read too much into this. Large corporations try a lot of things, and they don't always work out for the best. If E&Y really finds that it improves the quality of their workforce and their competitors follow suit, it will be interesting, but until then it's just an experiment.
Flash Cards are great. I recommend using actual cards and carrying them around with you everywhere you go. Whenever you are in line for something or just waiting around pull them out and flip through them.
