> Perhaps the social psychologists’ views have remained consistent while the US Republican party has become more radicalized, causing former political moderates to now fall in naturally with the Democratic party.

That is indeed partly the case, at least as far as the US congress goes.

Based on a fivethirtyeight metrics, the average of each group has gradually moved away from the center, but the Republicans did so about twice as fast as the Democrats.

I can't find the post where both parties are discussed, but here's one about the Republicans: http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/jeb-bush-president-republ...

Make friends who do things with little relation to programming. Help them make tools to do whatever they do.

Even if you do, it doesn't change the myth of the noble savage. Like the poster was saying, these folks are pining for the good days, before the "white man" came and messed it up. All I'm pointing out is that these societies were messed up well before colonization. (I'd guess that post colonization was nearly always an improvement, but that's unrelated.)

Reminds me of this (fake) interview with Linus where he points out the "easter egg" in git:

"Eventually you’ll discover the Easter egg in Git: all meaningful operations can be expressed in terms of the rebase command. Once you figure that out it all makes sense. I thought the joke would be obvious: rebase, freebase, as in what was Linus smoking? But programmers are an earnest and humorless crowd and the gag was largely lost on them."

What is --actually-- motivating you to stay?

I was hired, by a friend of a friend, to build a website. I was told "prototype", MVP, "ad supported".. "we'll find investors". As a contractor, fine, just pay me.

4 years later, after a customer threatened to sue for being defrauded, I finely wised up. I had been strung along with late payments for 4 years, the work kept piling up, I begged for help (it was just me doing all the technical work)... and the wife of the CEO let it slip they were doing 6 figures in revenue. I had gotten so obsessed with the work, that I fell into my OCD and did not pay attention to the business side of my "business".

4 years of near-burnout... and the guy who introduced me to this £$%£% finally decided to tell me he knew for a fact the CEO had a history of criminal behavior (i.e. fraud).

It was a harsh lesson in my blindspots. I learned a lot from a personal angle but it cost me 6 years of my life (to recover from the burnout as well). I got at the root of my OCD like behavior though. I was the same way - just a little more work, it'll all be over, the money, money, get all the invoices paid and quit... but it took a real crisis to slap me upside the head.

Not to say your founders are psychopaths, but look at it from their POV. You're just the hired help. It's not profitable to make you happy from a monetary perspective and you aren't taking advantage of the power you may not know you have (my biggest mistake).

If you're in business with someone, ruthlessness, however polite, is the only option (the CEO a year after I quit, -abandoned- his family and now is in a big legal battle with his wife who funded the company).

Ruthlessness is sometimes the only way to get respect from people, and I infer this may be part of your problem.

-- But I may be projecting my issues onto your situation --

So that is why I ask - what are the possible deeper psychological issues that are keeping you stuck? I know this inner conflict you speak of very well, and until I really understood the fundamental reasons why I put up with all the shit, I drove myself crazy.

hope this helps...

Machine Learning – complete course notes (2012)
You must be new to Europe. </sarcasm> I confirm that employment laws in France and in that country (Switzerland), if not other countries, are particularly prone for abuse, and the culture is to fully exert the employee's interest. If you quit a job, you may not be entitled for unemployment at all, whereas being dismissed gives you 2 years of 80% benefits.

Most French startups are built on ACCRE: The unemployed asks for a lumpsum instead of monthly benefits at the condition that he creates a company. You can't get it if you quit your last job, so the game for entrepreneurs is to be as disrespectful as legally possible with an employer (e.g. liberally start working on the new company or poaching clients, as long as it's not forbidden), get fired, and create a startup. It makes the ACCRE the #2 source of funding for startups in France (after CIR, another public benefit, but that's a story for another day).

Such schemes mean the startup is created months and months after the opening of the market opportunity; after months of being a bad employee; and out of public benefits. To my opinion it's inefficient on all 3 facets. But that's how the old continent runs.
What wind power does not do well is scale down.

There are abundant small-scale wind turbines available, but there are rarely opportunities for them to perform nearly as well per installation effort & cost, as large 1MW+ turbines mounted on massive towers. A town of 100 households who each set up wind turbines in their backyards are paying >10x what a town of 100 households who buy a share in a wind farm coop for the same amount of electricity are paying. Wind has gotten very cheap very quickly over the years since Altamont Pass was put in with 100kW turbines, and a lot of it is down to bigger turbines and towers.

http://www.power-technology.com/projects/solaronesolar/image...

Solar photovoltaic power, on the other hand, scales down fairly well. It doesn't deal with altitude-dependent winds. The economies of scale, while still considerable, are smaller because no matter the scale, all solar photovoltaic facilities involve parts that fit on a shipping pallet.

So there are 35 people. What's your role, exactly? Are you managing the entire engineering team?

If getting more money/equity would only make you happy for another year, then the money and the equity isn't the real problem here.

It sounds to me like the real problem is that management doesn't respect you as much as you think you deserve. In particular, it would be quite reasonable for a 35-person company to have a VP of Engineering. If that isn't you, then it'll end up being someone else that they hire in above you.

My recommendation is to be open and honest about your frustration with your manager, and if you don't see a path to being happy with your job without a huge equity/pay bump, just move on. There isn't going to be any easy, obvious solution here.

> I'm pointing out is that these societies were messed up well before colonization

Using your metric of "messed up society" ie the public, condoned torture and murder of "outsiders", the point am making is that all societies are pretty messed up.

And when you start labelling whole groups of people that way, thats actually step 1 in the plan to exploit, colonize or commit genocide.
I just asume there is bias... I mean the fact is, bias is what youare trying to work in favor of... that bias being factors of success. Chasing your tail against random statistics won't really show much, and a person is more complex that a few statistical groups. As far as investing goes, there's also the product, and how that leader/founder matches to that product category itself. A founder that succeeds in one category won't definitively succeed in another. Many founders fail their first few times, and later succeed. Others fail after some success(es).

I think as long as reasonable steps are made to avoid certain obvious bias, the rest is mostly chance.

Thank you. Easily setting up "tunable" parameters (e.g., sliders) in a computation was a key requirement for Blabr.

For example, it is very instructive/insightful to adjust the variable k in this compressive sensing blab to see the abrupt transition between sparsity and non-sparsity: http://blabr.io/?e8a066234715f21c21fd

Regarding packaging a blab: yes, it's very simple to share a blab on the web. After editing the blab, just click "Save" at the top right. This will save the blab to a Github Gist. You'll then get a link to the blab, like the one above (for the compressive sensing blab). Share the link with anyone. There are two ways to save a blab:

1. Anonymous Gist - easiest way, no need for GitHub account, but no revision control (new gist for each save).

2. Gist under your GitHub username - full revision control (gist revision each time you edit and save your blab); can make gist public or private.
Not true. Titles and roles change all the time. You can absolutely be the VP of Engineering and if and when they need/want a "real" VP of Engineering you can become for example, the VP of Infrastructure Engineering reporting to the VP of Engineering. I doubt that they have any formal structured options framework so don't let them use that trick, if they do mention it, have them show it to you right at that moment, because if they can't it means they don't have it yet.

Anything worth having is worth fighting to have. To quote Bill Gates in the Simpson's episode, "I didn't get rich by writing a lot of checks." That's how the founders think. Getting what you want will be like taking a gazelle away from a hungry crocodile.

Simple fraud prevention tips from Frank Abagnale
Where'd it go?
Haha I like that comment about how everybody is bashing the use of median income while offering a more arbitrary and harder to measure metric instead. Somebody correct me... but wouldn't that be a pretty good metric if it's pre-tax, since that would be without healthcare costs on both sides anyways? I would think that using anything but pre-tax "revenue" (median income for individuals) you would have to argue why one cost (healthcare) should be considered but other costs (shelter, food, autos, education) shouldn't. So I guess you would want to carry it through to one of the logical ends, but to use disposable income you would have to then be able to compare quality of life on a quantitative basis, which rules that one out too (in my opinion).

I did read the paper. In my opinion it was a big hodge-podge of unrelated stuff strung together without much reasoning between, and a conclusion not strongly grounded in the evidence.

The cited studies about transposing data/conclusions seem like they might be more interesting, but were only tangentially relevant to this paper’s point.

Yeah you're right, that's what he should have done. Why would a company voluntarily put someone on a sick leave? There are even legal implications for this. Think about it for a moment. I'm sure a company like Google would have given him a (maybe paid, maybe unpaid) sick leave for reasonable amount of time if he had asked. Instead he stuck around, didn't do work, and told the manager he wants to stay because he's "satisfied with the salary". Imagine you're his coworker, working your ass off while this guy proudly doesn't do shit and still makes the same money as you.

How is this different from git-smart?
(Essential background: The author is head of the leading ideologically conservative think tank, the American Enterprise Institute. For example, IIRC they were behind many of the neo-cons who advocated the Iraq invasion and related policies.)

Most importantly, the author desires an ideological war. Like any smart advocate, he makes his case by framing the discussion: What he says assumes there is an ideological contest and, due to the way framing works, nobody questions it; they unconciously accept his framework when responding.

But I don't think most people are members of one ideological movement or another. I suspect most people have a nuanced, inconsistent mix of beliefs. Personally, and I know many agree, I think ideology of any kind is the enemy, and I won't accept his presumption that I too am a dogmatic ideologue.

.

Also, the author seems to desire a sort of affirmative action for conservative ideological ideas: They should be given a place regardless of their merits, simply because they match his ideology. Why don't they (and he) have to pursuade their peers like the advocates of any other idea? It's a loser demanding he should get a trophy too.

An aside: Academics are overwhelmingly liberal. People say it is a consequence of bias, but that is not necessarily true. If (broadly speaking) the smartest people are mostly liberal, maybe that tells us something.
I'm willing to compromise a bit on the time, but the point is they need to face real consequences for their actions or they will continue to be irresponsible with the lives of others.

B - 7,000
B - 5,000 # Cutoff point below this line
A - 4
B - 3
B - 2

Even though admitting the top 5 by score is perfectly fair, the applicants from group A perform better.

If your branch conflicts, rebase off master (the branch you're making a pull request to). Then it will merge cleanly. There's no practical downsides to having merge commits in master, but you should never (or rarely) see merge conflict resolution commits. You should be able to rebase to a mergeable state before merge.
