This is a very good reply.

Another really good book about management is called _First, Break All The Rules: What The Worlds Greatest Managers Do Differently_ by Marcus Buckingham of Gallup Polls.

TL;DR: Different things work for different people, figure out what works for your employees and do that.

My big recommendation is that for kids, you reward effort, for adults, you reward for results.
I've lived for 3+ years in a 25' Airstream with my wife. I feel our Airstream is much better laid out then most tiny houses I see. I wouldn't want to do the loft. We love living in a tiny space. We constantly travel though. It might be a different story if the view out my window wasn't constantly changing (feeling closed in..etc.).
Interestingly after the 2014 tube strikes enough people who has been forced to find alternative routes to work stayed using the alternatives - that is they discovered for example that a line change that looks impossible on map is a few minutes walk and save 10's of minutes. Apparently enough time is saved by this to make the strikes a net benefit to London economy.

My personal example - to go from Covent Garden to Embankment by tube is three changes. Or a 500 yard walk.
I don't know about "mature", but my main frustration with jython is that it can't use a whole slew of libraries that call on native code. So a whole lot of things that happen to be important to me just aren't usable. And they aren't that exotic - things like pandas, numpy etc.
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.

That's not true at all. The biggest private insurance companies in the US are what? 30-40M lives? That's bigger than Canada. They routinely negotiate for lower drug prices.
One could assume. However, from the article it sounded like this programme was directed at hiring front line accountants.

Perfectly flat structures are horrible, but on the flip side, if you have too many layers between the people making the decisions and the people implementing the decisions you're playing one large game of telephone.

That's why I like mid-stage startups. Typically, everyone reports directly to a VP, who reports directly to the CEO. The CEO has a clear picture of the company, the VP has the clear picture of a single specific product and the engineers have clear direction.

My impression is that JRuby is a lot more advanced, particularly from the point of view of parity with its "parent". That's not firsthand knowledge though: I use JRuby a lot, but Jython not for years, so I'm not plugged in to the latter. My impression is that its development kind of stalled out a few years ago, but maybe has recovered in the last few years.

JRuby performs very well, especially if you're using it in an environment like a web app, where JVM startup time isn't an issue. It's definitely better once you reach a certain threshold of usage. I wouldn't use it probably for little stuff, but if you're getting to the point where you need things like multithreading and garbage collection becomes an issue, then JRuby is a good bet.
Good idea, they are supposed to be between 50 and 150 characters, but that needs adjusting I think.

It's because biodiversity is beneficial to all species on Earth because it makes for a more resilient and stable ecosystem. Poaching endangered species tends to drive those doecies to extinction, reducing biodiversity which as I've explained is a common good for all living species. Ranching maintains biodiversity by establishing an equilibrium artificial ecosystem. Combined with conservation, it contributes to economic prosperity and sustainable management of a rich and resilient ecology.

Most modern campers can't do winter though. I live in a 25' Airstream. The windows and insulation are crap. Living in an Airstream in a Vermont winter would be painful and miserable. But it has wheels, so I head south.
A simple method (a modified adjacency list) I've used just stores the root id, parent id and id of each post together. You can get the entire tree from any root post easily (everything shares the same root id) but getting the whole subtree beyond immediate children takes recursion.

I find that you don't even have to worry about treating the data as a tree in most cases until the very end. What you want to actually deal with is a flat array with the ids (root,parent,id) arranged in rendering order, and to have the tree built in the HTML. The data set from the DB doesn't even have to represent the tree structure directly, as long as you can sort it elsewhere.

You can even have two arrays - one (say, an associative array) with the data, and another basic array with the ids. Sort just the array with the ids, then use those as keys to iterate the data array when building the html, so you can avoid ever having to sort the larger array (which as luck has it just happens to be optimized for non-linear access anyway.)

I should probably mention, I thought this was terribly clever when I did it in PHP, before I was aware that all arrays in PHP are basically the same, so it was mostly pointless overoptimization.

Building something like an unordered list in HTML from that array then becomes a matter of adding or removing <UL> elements based on the relative change in depth for each subsequent id. Depth is easy to find by checking if an item's parent is (or isn't) the same as the id of the previous element. The actual tree never exists in code until the unordered list is rendered in the browser.

Also here's a good reference on Stack Overflow of different methods to do the same thing: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2175882/how-to-represent...

If you actually know what you're doing beforehand, probably ignore everything I just said and go with nested sets. My method is, admittedly, naive and better programmers are probably chuckling at it over the beverage of their choice, but it does work and it seems to be decently fast.

Any comments on Airware's growth space in those areas?
College is not a good idea for everyone. People who struggled in high school are unlikely to finish college, and most of the college premium comes from the degree itself: there's a huge gap in earnings between "some college" and "college graduate" (and less of a gap in student loan balance).

> Personally, I prefer my doctors ... to have formal qualifications.

Why? So they can charge you more? You know medical school in the US is pass/fail and has a 96% graduation rate? Its completion at that point is practically meaningless.

And all so I have to pay $50 to get a vaccine administered because nobody is allowed to prescribe one without a $250k medical degree.
Love this comment from the simulator:

For more anecdotal data points:

I did not go to college. My first full time job was 3 years as what was basically help desk, with a bit of systems administration work thrown in. It did not pay particularly well, but it was still around the level that a lot of people with "normal" (none-STEM/Medical/etc type) degrees start at. After I got bored of it, I did some random consulting/contract work for various companies. A connection I met at one of those got me a job working for a company that would eventually wind up being purchased by IBM. At that place I was making as much as most of the people I went to high school with that were graduating with engineering degrees around that time and getting started in the industry.

My next place of employment after a few years at that company put my salary range into a level that basically none of my peers from high school are at, including ones that have STEM degrees and law degrees. The couple that went on to become doctors are just now finishing up their residencies and will probably be beating me soon.

One of my good friends from school followed a pretty similar path as me, and has an excellent job as a security engineer for a fortune 10 company without a degree.

Networking + ability will help a lot in making up for not having a degree.
Totally agree with you. It was very irresponsible for the department and electronic store to issue credit cards. They obviously didn't manage and evaluate the risks.

This reminds me of a Google exercise within their Python course, wherein it read in a text file and built dictionaries of every word and the words that followed said word in the text in order to create a prosaic style that mimed the author of the original text. It was quite interesting to run and throw a text file at it to see what it produced.

EDIT: I have a cached version of the exercise if anyone feels like looking at it:

There should be an "alice.txt" in the same directory as a sample file to throw at it.

Studying about birds is a hobby of mine, but why the heck is this posted on hn?

1) There is (literally) no content to the site, thus nothing interesting.

2) The only action is inputting bird stats if you're already a member.

3) The only rationale I can assume is "Hey someone owns a domain that sort of looks like it should belong twitter.com, but it doesn't." If that's the case, the submitter might be shocked to find there are other sites just like that out there (which generally predate the more popular site).

Is this really something the handful of voters find interesting or is it just a boring weekend?

> Mainstream rock is still really bad about it, and less-mainstream metal is some of the worst.

I agree. In my experience as a heavy metal show radio host from 2009-2013, it seemed like a very significant proportion of heavy metal is mastered to have almost no DR whatsoever. When we would load up songs to sample for IDs and promotions, every song would be a gigantic solid rectangle of sound.
There is no shortage of scammy software companies like AVG, but what always cracked me up about AVG was their logo.

The company is a joke like all the other toolbar companies. I wrote to a number of financial journalists at the WSJ a few years ago begging them to write an expose on these firms and Google's compliance in allowing them to exist. No one ever wrote me back.
> I suspect that, much like the U.S., the French simply have grown accustomed to seeing themselves as having the best education in the world. So when I read comments like this, I just tell myself that this must be what it's like all the time for people in other countries hearing Americans bragging about the U.S.

In my experience (not American, though I work in the US), that isn't usually the case in the tech field. I've almost never heard Americans bragging about how good or exclusive their school is.

Now there is a lot of mystique about being from the Ivy League in the US, but it is usually confined to status and social connections within the US ("ooooh, he went to Harvard and the Yale for grad school, must have connections") rather than being compared worldwide. Maybe this is what you mean by "bragging about the US"?
A total funding of $16.8 million sounds like a tiny amount of money to be able to develop this kind of complex technology, especially anything related to cars, which are heavily regulated. Their competitors - Tesla, Google and the huge car manufacturers - all have billions of dollars to throw around.

"The product to date has been a system that converts existing cars into self-driving cars down highways. ... There are sensor units that go on top of the car near the windshield and then there are actuators that control the steering and driving. There’s also a computer that goes in the trunk... The plan had been to sell Cruise systems for $10,000 each."

This doesn't sound like it would get significant acceptance from the public. Are people going to be comfortable getting third-party modifications done on their cars, which would be of unknown quality and safety and surely invalidate their cars' warranties?
> Absolutely you should strive be the type of person who can get into and graduate from an elite school. The value of then actually doing it is what's suspect.

What's more, it might pay off even more to actually be accepted into an elite school, but never start it, and instead carry the letter of acceptance to an employer and get a job.

You are probably right. My intend in pointing out the Thiel Fellowship is that even if you decide to drop out of an undergraduate degree, the chances of doing better without a degree finally is only if you are part of an exclusive/elite group of outliers such as Thiel fellows.

There are always outliers and then there is the general case.
I don't see an issue with a 96% graduation rate when med schools are incredibly difficult to get in to. Not only that but even within med schools, depending on how well you do you might not get in to specific programs; for example you have to do better to be a surgeon than to be a general physician.

If they didn't have a 96% graduation rate I think we would be screwed because we already do not have enough doctors as it is. And with med schools it's not like you can increase the number of students easily as each student requires a lot of resources due to requiring residency and things like that.

Wow, in a single comment you've managed to do the following:

- Cast the parent commentor as unaware of alternative ways of thinking of this subject, implying the only reason then could hold their belief is because they cannot or will not think about this subject in other ways.

- Imply that the parent is incapable of of viewing this subject in a rational manner because they are too emotionally, morally or ethically invested in a point of view that is influenced by others. So apparently it's not the parent's fault. They've just been manipulated into not being able to form their own opinions.

- Imply that the parent in currently inadequate in their knowledge of what it takes to raise a child.

I have a lot of not very nice things I would like to say at this point, but that would be counter-productive to the point of this comment, so I'll distill it to this: Don't do this. You have attacked someone in a very personal way, even if it's marginally hidden behind wishing them well. Not only is it against the rules here, but it's just plain a horrible thing to do, and doesn't reflect well on you at all.

Is there some form of götterdämmerung for these companies or are they worked with in order to improve?
A few problems with this article:

1. The absurd proposition that it's unjust that you will find a better deal if you spend more time looking for one. Of course you will.

2. The claim that e-commerce is a regressive tax on the poor because purchases are bigger percentage of the poor's income. You can say the same thing about any purchase. A burger is a bigger percentage of a poor person's income than a rich person's income.

Paribus is providing a great service, but this is a marketing/PR article pretending to be serious economic commentary and analysis. It's just hopping on the bandwagon of a narrative that's politically en vogue (that the world is stacked against the poor).

At school we had a class called CDT which was something to do with technical drawing. Anyhoo, during our GCSE exam we had to draw a map in the style of the London Tube map. So part way through the exam after dozens of kids calling the teacher over he go fed up and stopped the exam.

"Who has seen a map of the London Underground? Where the trains are?"

You could see a room full of faces showing disbelief. Trains underground? What?

"Who has been out of Cornwall?" Three or four hands go up... And that is why I fucking love the Cornish folk.

Would you like to back up your statements with facts?

The major point that you're failing to argue against is this: poor people often must use loans to live their day-to-day lives.

It doesn't matter what proportion of bad debt is the result of poor people and what proportion is due to financial ignorance. The point is that poor people suffer by requiring loans.

Do some research on payday loans and car-title loans. These are some extremely exploitative lenders taking advantage of people who aren't able to make ends meet.

As long as everyone knows that would be considered an odd gap in knowledge, you can prepare for that faster and cheaper than college (if not faster, it's certainly more cost-efficient). I could study endlessly worrying about knowledge gaps that would be an easy solution to a problem I currently have. There is value in splitting up the knowledge burden of solving problems.

The last statistics I saw indicate that more than half of all bankruptcies in the U.S. were due to high medical bills. This held true regardless of insurance status. Our medical system is broken and if you have a health problem, you get hit with the double whammy of high medical bills and lowered productivity. In most cases, it has nothing to do with being irresponsible.
