"Preparing a resume with it says "I have the technical judgement to use the best tool for this job, even if I had to learn an arcane new programming language[0] to do it.""

As a dude who wasted uncounted hours tweaking his LaTeX config at university a decade ago and who considers it the best tool for technical reports of any length...

I have to strongly disagree. I would not hold it against the person but wasting time on an arcane layout language is like smashing bricks with ones body. Impressive, but not very practical.

Best tool... for a single page CV? I would call that massive overengineering.

LaTeX is great for long technical documents but preparing careful layouts - especially single page - is an effort in frustration (unless one is actually proficient in it in which case salutations to you!).

I would advice people to try anything else for CV before LaTeX.

Although I don't agree with any of those premises, that debate is not one-sidedly poorly supported. A lot of the opposing arguments prove too much.

For example, a common remark in discussions on relevant topics are paraphrases of that "those who would give up essential liberty" quote. Yet, those comments appear much less frequently of discussions of other sacrifices of liberty for the sake of security.

If you want a more fun science based kit, I would recommend Yum Science ( http://www.yumscience.com/ ). It combines cooking with science. Kids love it.
Thanks, I'd not thought of the crossref api for this. I use the API pretty heavily for other things though, really good work!

Just noticed this part of the response:

"affiliation": [],

How well filled in is that? I find it's currently a really poorly provided thing on many sites (although there are metatags, they're often wrong).

> When a PDF has Crossref CrossMark, the DOI is embedded in the metadata (I can't say how but I can find out)

That's likely to come in really useful, thanks.
Trans Hacking Startup Land: Investor Deception and Performance
Anti-vaxxers argue against something that's proven all over and pretty much obvious if you had biology classes in high school[0]. OTOH, "nutrition science" is some small core of facts and good studies, covered by layers and layers of lies, bullshit, misperceptions, bad statistics and normal people acting like idiots. It's not worth the time.

[0] - then again, many if not most anti-vaxxers are only showing their lack of trust in the medical establishment, for which I do not blame them in the least, because of all the shenanigans doctors, scientists, pharma corps and politicians keep doing. And yes, "nutrition science" is a big part of that, too. <insert my standard rant about people who lie being responsible for all the blood that will be shed when society dissolves and civilization collapses />
I've been a subscriber to Dorna's MotoGP VideoPass[1] for a couple of years and it is incredible (yes it's got some issues but overall it's fantastic). Stream practice session, qualifying, races, press conferences live or access later at your conveniencef (from a No-Spoiler page none the less!). All completely advertisement free. You can also access a full archive of historical races year round! It's amazing and a model that should be emulated by other sports organizations.

I don't currently follow NFL but mostly because I don't have cable or any way to selectively choose when I watch a game. I would happily pay for NFL access the same way I do for MotoGP.

I understood your point, but you might be better received if you responded something like the following:

"That's a great idea! I have no personal need for such a feature, but if you do and are able to submit a pull request, I'd be pleased to merge it."
I saw at least a handful of commercials for this game on TV and not one of them mentioned it was possible to live-stream. With such a marketing fumble (pun intended), the numbers seem rather irrelevant.
Yeah, but we are making assumptions about market-clearing wages and rational agents, here. Anyone that gets to the position of making above-market wages will use this arbitrage opportunity and would be fired, if we followed your strategy.

In the end, the only way to end this and to actually get your house cleaned is to pay market-level wages.

By "revolving door" you appear to mean that one executive, who hadn't previously worked for NSA, left Facebook for a job at NSA.

It would be hard to imagine more prominently anti-NSA security executive than Alex Stamos, their current CSO.
Incorrect assumptions are still useful for determining what happens most of the time. That's the reason we have assumptions: we know they're technically wrong, but the assumption is true often enough that we state it up front. It also is basically a sign that says "This model will not tell you anything about what happens when market actors are acting irrationally."

Assumptions are the "buyer beware" notice on a mathematical model. They are informative because they limit the scope to which the model applies, not because the assumptions themselves are correct.
I really don't know what you're referring to. How have Eastern/Central EU migrants been denied access to German labour markets?
They aren't joking. How? Because they went out of their way to hire very good appsec people to build their team. There's a geography and right-place right-time element to what they did, too.

They're a pretty good case study for how the right senior hires at the right time can set the tone for a security organization for many years after those people leave.

> I definitely want to say something, but not sure how to broach it,

This is the key part. What do you really want to achieve?

1. Win this client - make them love both your product and your company and turn them into paying customers?

2. Admonish this client - let them know that they did wrong and that they should correct their "bad behavior"?

You have already made a good impression - your product is useful for at least 2 people in this company. So you can reinforce this positive experience by demonstrating that your customer care is as good as the product itself. My suggestion: grab the phone and call those 2 guys who are already familiar with the app. Ask them about their experiences and willingness to continue using it. Diagnose possible barriers, doubts, needs etc. Just show them that you are awesome.

If they are really abusing you, you can always send them cold, corrective email later. It actually won't change much, but it will make you feel better. Good luck!
Ah true but part of the fun for OP will be having a smiling gentleman fondle his inside leg in an anonymous hotel suite. No app can reproduce that.
First, Realize There Is No Glass
Not so much a touchscreen but I've used plenty of stylus/digitizer setups for this purpose over the years and they work as well as you'd expect. At one job, we used normal PCs with simple Wacom tablets for annotation of slides during love Adobe Connect sessions and the only complaint was from some users who hadn't yet become comfortable with looking at a monitor while drawing on a surface (sort of like learning to use a mouse or touch-type for the first time).

At my current job, we have Sympodium monitors at lecture podiums so you can draw directly on the screen. These are also not touch screens but make use of an active digitizer like the Surface products and traditional drawing tablets.

Likewise, I've got a Gen 1 Surface Pro which works just as well for the same sort of thing. Basically, as long as framerate doesn't need to be as high as video, it's fine. Usually the "slides" portion of those conferences (whether web-based or using VTC appliances) is set to use a lower framerate for bandwidth purposes while the "camera" portion will attempt to hit more video-like framerates. But otherwise, it's pretty useful and something of a standard in the educational live conferences I've worked on.
Water transfer seems like it calls for a measurement of flowrate. So the real question is: how fast is the water flowing through a pipe of that diameter?
I wonder how this new plant will affect the power costs to consumers and especially wholesale power costs.

The Chattanooga area just turned up their municipal fiber network to 10 Gbps and a lot of tech companies are moving there. With inexpensive power and good connectivity, it might be a prime location for data centers.
I think the problem is that most developers tend to be the nerdy types who didn't care much for fashion as a kid, or have the money in college to look good. Now they're in the workforce and they feel validated for dressing like shit: hoodies and pajamas are cute every once in a while but seriously, grow up and dress yourself like you're gonna get laid one of these days.

The way I see it, if you code, chances are you've got some coin. Find a look that matches your personality and stick to it. Plaid? Go for it. All black? Can't hurt. Vest and tie? Lookin' good. It doesn't have to be perfect, just wear what works. And for the love of God, even if you wear college clothes for the rest of your life, invest in a decent pair of shoes.

Ironically, the root of a lot of hacker culture is non-conformity. Jeans and a hoodie are a conformist statement if everyone else does it, whether you like it or not. And ask yourself why comfy clothing that can be slept in is promoted in work environments that prefer you to always be at the office.

My rule of thumb: dress the way you'd like to be seen by someone you want hiring or sleeping with you.
Thanks, looks like I have some research/reading to do.

Ok, if you're assuming strictly rational agents. If they realize they'll be fired for contracting out their work, then wouldn't the rational thing be to continue working rather than contract out and retire early on the higher income?

Or to train people to do as well as you and set up your own business taking advantage of your stronger than average reputation in the field.

But doing an activity which has a high probability of costing you the income you desire is not rational.
I wear a suit every Friday. People definitely notice. It helps that I sit directly along the path between the entrance and the main work area in the main SF office.

(And several coworkers probably suspect who I am. Hi!)

It's prompted a fair number of wisecracks, but people seemed to have warmed to the idea that implicit dress codes don't need to be strict.

I have a better analogy. We're like Tony Soprano. He'll cover your gambling debts, but if you don't pay him back he'll take your car, wreck your business to increase his profits, and ruin your reputation.

Don't want him to do that? Pay him back. Better yet, don't gamble.

The other terrible side effect of web components is that it gives the standards group an excuse to never update HTML anymore. "Why do we need HTML6 when you can make anything you want with big, heavy Javascript-based web component that takes expert programmers to make?" Indeed.

Just say no to web components. Say yes to upgrading HTML specs directly.
If you read closely you see that the accident was so bad because of one simple problem.

If a nuclear reactor has a cooling failure, the fuel will eventually heat up and then melt down. To prevent this you have to keep water circulating around the reactor core. It doesn't take a huge amount of energy to do this, but it does take some. If the power goes out at the station and they can't get emergency power, the outcome is very bad.

If they had spent maybe $300k or so they could have moved the emergency generators a little bit higher up. With that investment there still would have been serious damage to the plant but only a very limited release of radioactivity because the fuel integrity and the coarse integrity of the plant would have been protected.

> That fact that Vulcanize didn't work too well for you for whatever reason seems like something that shouldn't be terribly difficult to fix.

Maybe? I'm not sure. The vast majority of issues I had with Vulcanize stemmed from pathing changes.

So say you're working on a component that exists at /components/mycomponent/mycomponent.html

When you're referencing JavaScript, images, CSS, etc you typically assume you're at / but it doesn't work like that for everything. So you either have to setup a configurations so you have a universal prefix to use for everything or do everything relative to root (which at least in the environments I deployed into not really doable as the root could change). So the vulcanizer needs to understand and reroute everything within your component and since there is no way to override the way the browser fetches content you're left with trying to figure out everything to include and doing it via ajax (if you wanted to be automated about it).

I'm not saying it's impossible but it seems difficult to do to the point where I don't know that that's the best path for web development to go down.

I honestly can't remember some of the other issues I've run into. Mostly JavaScript errors from third party components and even other Polymer components but it's been about 6 months or so since I've used it. I'm sure Vulcanize has gotten better by now and I know Polymer has.
You greatly underestimate the depth of the problem. Mainstream economic theory provably leads to economies that are unstable -- they don't converge to equilibrium, and in fact can end up arbitrarily far from equilibrium. This is not due to old or simple models, it is baked into current foundations.

Keen makes fun of the assumptions economists use to avoid that instability -- more the representative agent assumption than unbounded rationality. The representative agent assumption is that all economic actors in the model behave exactly like each other, and like the theory predicts would be rational. Without that, the models would not converge. With that assumption, as Keen points out, we can simply delegate all economic decisions to a central planner. If this is a joke, it is one the economists are playing on us all the time.

Most of the development could easily be done with a bunch of uncleared individuals. It would only takes a few cleared people to implement the technologies on the classified systems, which could be a different job req.
Yeah, California law seems more lax in that regard.
Well, b) is what's hard for most people. You can only plan so many things before life overwhelms you. I personally know I can't plan shit.
The report says that for less than $1M they could have raised the emergency generators up higher in which case they could have maintained reactor cooling and had reactor damage but no major harm. Also there was evidence of similar events in the inhabited past.
Of course they have to say that. If they admitted how dangerous nuclear power is, the bribes required to force the taxpayer to build new plants would be simply enormous.
Actually the OP had two points (and an agenda). Let's break them down.

1. I did well therefore why can't everyone be like me?

This is rather tired argument that I have seen dismissed 3 times last week on HN alone. Refuting this is a waste of everyone's time hence I ignored it.

2. Here is a think tank publishing sponsored pseudo-science with a political agenda.

This is what I commented on. In science, especially in controversial fields, the source of funding and acknowledgement of conflicting interests is almost as important as the findings for any given study. Not mentioning funding or conflicting interest is a viable grounds for withdrawal of peer reviewed publication.

Your point:
> Either the ideas/points are valid, backed-up by evidence, etc. Or they're not.

Refer to my comment on the OP's point 2. To expand. Evidence can be selectively gathered and selectively presented. This is what peer review attempts to mitigate. A publication funded by a libertarian think-tank would (like a publication by a socialist think tank) face severe questions during peer review to try to determine whether there is bias. Neither TFA nor the stuff refereed to by the OP are (yet) citable research sources.
Yes, of the social engineering class. Really dangerous if you substitute the suit with a hard hat and a paperclip - access is granted to virtually all physical infrastructure.

1. The lawsuit was likely an escalation of the long-running dispute that started early on, also mentioned in the article.

I think I'd just woken up and didn't realize that I could have insulted your argument more strongly and directly. I apologize for that. Ignore that comment in favor of "The article could have concluded more correctly by disambiguating the statement into 'A black person shot a police officer.'".

And, honestly, I should have realized this argument was more or less pointless. The original article is strongly ideologically motivated and you can't argue someone out of a position they didn't argue themselves into.
This really is the problem. The amount of hardware wizardry going on here is going to be nearly impossible to support on GNU/Linux or any POSIX-like OS without support from Microsoft. Unfortunately, they don't "get" this, and they operate in a vacuum where they believe that the software they create is just the best thing for everyone.

I honestly have no idea how they operate under this presumption. Are they unaware of the millions of developers using Macbooks purely for this reason?
Can you name one such unconditionally unrecoverable problem?
So you are saying the representative agent assumption limits current models to 100% centrally plannable economies? If that is not the implication, please tell us what limits this assumption implies. Careful buyers want to know.
I'm not sure if you agree that the findings are unsustainable or not. Two things that the IAEA had established were that

1) Fukishima survived the earthquake as designed, and was in the process of shutting down when the tsunami hit.

2) The tsunami disabled primary and backup power to the cooling systems which was the proximate cause of the failure.

Further, at the time of its commissioning, the tsunami it experienced was accepted by the best engineering data at the time to be impossible.

You can make the argument that over time as more data became available the regulatory agency should have required additional upgrades to cover the larger tsunami risk. There have been plenty of stories about regulatory capture between TEPCO and the regulators which prevented best practices from being followed.

A lot of retrofits had been installed over time and that no doubt contributed to its survival of the earthquake.
Have you taken a look at Chocolatey and OneGet? I've been an avid Windows user as I grew tired of resolving Linux issues daily, and haven't really missed anything. Chocolately + ConEmu + Git for Windows (comes with ssh and most of the unix tools) + PowerShell for more complex scripts.
I'm curious whether https://github.com/eBay/fabio would meet your needs. It picks up the routing table from consul changes and service registrations and reloads it without restart.

Alternatively, why would you not be OK with a system where the rule that everyone must abide by is "do not initiate force"? I wonder what problems you have with it. Is there something you'd like to do, that would be impossible for you to do under that system?

Again, I am for a formalized set of rules, and I am suggesting that the rule be "do not initiate force". You on the other hand, have not suggested any formalized set of rules, as something cannot be a rule if everyone is helpless to keep the biggest offender from breaking it.

> "do not enforce coordination", means cancer

You say things like that, and you think I'm trolling you? Not to mention, the word is "exempt", not "extempt".

> Governments are actors created within the system

This is meaningless when both good and bad are created "from within" according to you. If I pointed to US History and asked you were Central Banks on the good side or was Andrew Jackson on the good side, I'd say Jackson, but you'd still point out the Central Banks "are actors created within the system". So to me this is meaningless. It's better to talk about how much consent the government has. Recent Gallup polls show more than half of Americans fear their government. I'd say fearing and consenting do not go together. So it seems the people are saying they'd like to treat the cancerous government within our country.

> some time ago people agreed they'll let one group monopolize the violence

They did, or do you assume they did? If the people did agree to this, as you said, then please point me to the historical documents, like a social contract being signed by everyone in a given territory. Otherwise, don't make up facts while trolling me and calling me a troll.
> The wage floor is way below $15/hour in much of the country

As a W2 employee, yes. If you're asking someone to work as a 1099 and eat their own self-employment taxes, transit costs, etc, that's going well below minimum wage.

In old-economy-speak what you just said basically translates as "you entered a crowded market".

When you're standing on an unknown, rainy street corner far away from home, a taxi's services are urgently required, and not abundant. When you're lounging on your sofa and start contemplating how it would be nice for someone else to bin the pizza boxes, it's the opposite on both counts.

Moreover, I don't see the money men being impressed by a founder who can put out a piece so toe-curlingly embarrassing as "Dear Future HomeJoy Engineer".
I'm pretty sure all of that drop in infant and maternal mortality rate was due to "real science" (antibiotics, surgical techniques, heroic efforts to save pre-term babies), and not the "pop science" that bombards parents-to-be. There is little scientific evidence that stuff leads to materially (not just measurably) better outcomes.
