That's all a part of design control, and it is common among regulated industries (US and abroad). It's not hard to do, it just takes some diligence.

As far as the biotech industry, the funding situation is awful, especially for early companies, and that is a fine reason to avoid this area. Needing to "say what you do and do what you say" doesn't strike me as that much of an obstacle in comparison.
I would have a hard time doing this with mine, and I'm sober.

Would people memorize fakes to give away consistently, or would they just rattle off a random nine digit number?
It's more than them saying it takes "skill". The US Government blessed fantasy sports as a game of skill and specifically made it legal.

The US Government didn't feel the same way about poker and made that specifically illegal, despite it also being a game of skill. Actually, a lot of the seeds of daily fantasy sports came from poker. I'm pretty sure both FanDuel and DraftKings exec teams gave some roots in poker. The legislation that made poker illegal is what also kept fantasy sports legal, so it was near and dear to many avid poker players at the time.

You could also easily argue that normal sports betting against handicappers is a game of skill. There are experienced bettors who are long-term winners and it makes sense that if you can accurately find inaccurate lines with the right odds that you could be a long-term winner.

I personally don't find anything wrong with daily fantasy sports, but do have a problem that they were given a blessing by the government that other skills games weren't.

Read a book on this and this seems to corroborate much of what I read. One of the most interesting and simple techniques discussed was the order in which people recounted their stories.

The example given is an employee who is consistently late for work. If you ask them to recount why they are late one day, a liar will tell you the story linearly: "I woke up, ate breakfast, hopped in the car, was on my way, minding my own business, then someone hit my car. I got out to trade insurance ... [etc]".

A truth teller jumps around, usually starting with the climax "Someone hit my car on the way in. I then realized my insurance was expired. I had just been going through my bills the previous night ...".

This is easily ascribed to the fact that the liar is either making the story up as they go or are repeating a rehearsed lie. A truthful person can jump around easily because they are recounting distinct memories.
They weren't babes in the woods - processes existed even 'way back then'. They were a government project for heaven's sake! Other departments documented every iota of information about their projects (military, aeronatics, intelligence and on and on). Its amazing NASA got away with this crap for so long. I have no idea why.

Point taken, and I'm glad you see the merit in the discussion about what things the state has any right to do. After all, sometimes trespassing is the right thing to do. I certainly hope the fire department doesn't wait to be invited if they notice my house is burning down!

I guess I'm just extremely certain that after studying the lineage of a ban like this, one would discover that no, it really isn't necessary. Maybe I'll go test that hypothesis later.

They had to ask permission at install though in the old (pre-Marshmallow) system. That system had many issues but you could just choose not to install something that requested internet and didn't need it.

Google have gone the same way as Apple with Marshmallow though and apps can access internet without permission in the new system - INTERNET is a 'normal' permission automatically granted. [0]

Anecdote:

Many of my coworkers are from Spain. It is commonly said that two hour lunches with a beer or three are the norm. When I first started, the director took the 5 new hires to lunch, and I recall him stating that he would have bought pitchers for the table if our client was not a stickler about noon drinking.

It is also very common for company events (perhaps twice/month on average?) to be held at bars immediately after work. There is no pressure for anyone to participate, but there is definitely an emphasis on drinking.

Agreed. And I didn't mean to sound grim.

Markets tend to be efficient in the long-term and inefficient in the short-term as it is still determining how to place capital and whatnot based on new information. I feel like our industry (software, and technology generally) understands that well, even if implicitly. It's just that those "inefficiencies" are often real people and the "short-term" means being unemployed or unemployable for a while.

It's important to innovate and to do so boldly, but to also not be cavalier with how that innovation affects a world that was spinning long before that innovation was conceived of. Not to say that you or anyone else on this thread is doing so, I just wish to point it out.
The author is on the right track, but he fails to form a serviceable thesis. You should never exchange cash for services if you follow his thesis strictly. My ten year relationship with my own awesome dentist falsifies this thesis.

To find a better thesis, we might ask, what's the difference between my dentist and WeCodeLikeNoOneElse, Inc?

I think the main difference is reputation, the role it plays the given marketplace. I'm not sure why, but the market for offshore development has never counted on reputation. I can't name a single firm. I can't even remember the name of the firm I recently interacted with as a contractor coming in to to clean up their mess. If I were to suss out any one of the unsolicited Linked In offers for cheap development I get each week, where would I even start?

My dentist has built up a loyal clientele by word of mouth in the community over a lifetime. The community is small enough that a shady dentist would be run out town in no time.

Conversely, I do know the names of some local dev shops, and I know their reputations. The ones with good reputations do not treat their clients purely as cash cows. Although they face the same, or worse pressures on utilization, they do quality work, at a premium. They have built brands and will grow or sink mostly on reputation. They still constantly face incentives to pump out shit, but there's a counter balance that's missing in the offshore outsourcing market.
Some of them will need new hardware to reduce NOx emissions in real-world driving conditions.
Have you ever used a good visual debugger? I find that command line debuggers require you to keep too much state in your head at once, and even if you have a great memory and this isn't a problem, they still require you to query the new state after each step.

Sadly, most of the visual debuggers on linux don't meet my minimum standards for "good" (crashy, slow, typically have trouble inspecting certain types (mysteriously, since they're GDB frontends and GDB has no issue with it), etc...), and successive update to MSVC makes it's debugger worse and worse (although it's still the best I'm aware of at the moment)...
They're a good model in part because they're the most fundamental model of a number of equivalent ones, and the one for which there has been the largest amount of work on creating performant implementations.
Cognitive capital, governance, and the wealth of nations (2014) [pdf]
That's right, and another difference is that word frequencies change. E.g., in a lie there might be many references to "the green car", while a truthful story would refer to it variously as "the old green car", "the yellowish hatchback", "that ugly old car", etc. Yes there are inconsistencies in those descriptors. That is a property of memory, not of guilt.

Which shows yet another deficiency in LEOs' standard methods. They interrogate until they get an inconsistency, which they know the courts will interpret as guilt, even though this research shows that it is no such thing. Therefore intelligent guilty people can talk to the police with no fear, while no innocent person should ever talk to them.

> It doesn't make any sense. I'll see homes for 100K USD, but rent only $200-300/mo? How does that work?

It's +- how it works in Poland in dozen or so biggest cities. There's no ad valorem tax on buildings, just a very small muncipial tax basing on land area and some multipliers depending on category. Also there's still shortage of buildings in these cities.

50m^2 flat in Lublin is worth around $80 000, I could rent it at $250/month maybe. The price of renting is on the high side for the city size, it helps that that particular city has 5 universities and 100 000 students with 350 000 regular population.

Interest rates are at around 2-5% mostly.

Implementing User Authentication the Right Way
Developing is problem solving. You mention you don't have a cool project you're dying to build, so when learning, re-invent the wheel a little bit (a lot of learning development is done like this) and reinvent a wheel. A blogging engine, a framework for whatever.

I'd be apprehensive on undertaking previously undertaken work on places like odesk/freelancer as the problems solved there are often carbon copies of what a freelance developer has done before. It's not a learning platform, it is a platform for frustration and complaint from you're customer you've promised something to.

Why not try Udacity? They have some great introductory stuff, suitably technical, and if you need a tutor running into a problem, post on odesk etc for a Skype tutor for an hour. You will get a reply.

I don't know where you're moving to, but as being 'money orientated' you'll may find far greater financial reward not pursuing programming but pursuing business and cultural differences and using fluency in what's possible in IT (i.e. both a cultural and technical project manager) for financial gain.
Both of you guys are implying that my cause is entitlement when really it's just part of the overall equation. I don't understand how judging character by simple generalizations such as "Ok, you went to college, which means you got into college, which means you must have studied, which means you must have XYZ..." makes me a callous person out of nowhere and acting out of mere entitlement. Your argument is fallacious because it sits on a false premise.

I do not think I got scammed by university (as the guy below me said), but rather was gifted by it. Nor do I think that everyone has to go through the same path as me. Did I ever say I would deny a programmer who has been working in the industry for a few years with noticeable results despite a college education? I'm pretty sure my top foreign dev right now has no college education, but is self-taught.

I read my sentence again and you know I'm just being honest with you guys. It's not about a "me vs them", it's about an overall character evaluation. I look at myself as someone who I think generally went about things in the right way. I'm sorry if this offends you, but it's how I make up my judgment calls for who's worth looking into and who's not. What works for me might not work for others. I think college did a lot for me. I like talking with people who did go to college because I can typically talk at a lower level. I don't like having to constantly mentor or teach topics I am skilled in, which is what I would have to do with the guys who learned to code, but don't know much else. Is it important? That's up to the person doing the hiring who is going to have to deal with them on a day-to-day basis.

So, I need to worry a lot more about culture and productivity than I do some perfect ideal of hiring. In fact, I think by placing culture first and hiring who I think I would like the most, I do a big win for the company. In the future, when we're huge, maybe not so. Then it will be up to the hiring managers who actually have to work with them who they like.

Hello! Author of the library here. Just want to point out that I am a journalist and very active in the data journalism community. (6+ years) Both the sites you name-check have journalists who do production online graphics that don't go through the traditional Illustrator workflow and news organizations are increasingly discarding that antiquated pattern. (I've made a hundred graphics for NPR and I don't even have a copy of Illustrator installed.)

To your second point, that's fine. The most common feedback I've gotten is "I don't see what purpose this serves that X doesn't already fulfill!" Well okay then, you don't gotta use it. But given the fact I've done this job for years, working with the very folks who it's targeted at, I think it's probably safe to assume I've got some reasons. (Which you will find enumerated in the blog post and documentation.)

Well, if you read the linked article, a number of things are mentioned, including:

- union and intersection types

- an elegant and powerful representation of tuple and function types

- reified generics

- the cleanest solution to the problem of null

- awesome modularity

- a language module [that] completely abstracts the underlying runtime, and offers a set of elegant APIs that vastly improve on those available natively

- a language specification

None of which is offered by Kotlin.

That's quite a lot, actually.

>>The GP said it needs to see and feel options on a vehicle. I don't.

Maybe not, though a lot of people do and you probably should. The ergonomics of a car are more important, and much more complex, than for many other items. Some of this is addressed by adjustable seats, but not all of it. Zappos solved this by doing lots of returns, but that's not a great solution for large items with high shipping costs.

That said, I could easily see the value in having a single specimen at the showroom to check for fit, and then having everybody special order one with their own trim level, colors, etc.

I generally use cgdb (or gdb -tui) but for some complex tasks, I use the ddd gui frontend. It's not a pretty gui and the usability is not great but the visualization it provides is excellent. I've used it for complex data structures and debugging numerical algorithms. Getting it to display structured data as you step through the code can be super helpful.

That being said, I hope that lldb will catch on and there will be some decent front ends for it. The GDB-MI (machine interface) used in debugger frontends is quite limited and clumsy. The lldb debugger should be a lot easier to embed in a project as a library (as opposed to using pipes and gdb-mi).

I used to be a bouncer in my college town and you'd be surprised at what lengths kids will go to pass off their fake ID's as real. they'll memorize everything on the ID, including where the city is located - "So Flagstaff, is that North or South of Phoenix? I can never remember?"

I would ask for all the information on the ID if I thought they looked young. Then once the person was confident they had passed my tests, I'd ask them what their area code was when they call home. 9/10 a fake ID holder will fail this test because its not something on the ID, but something they should know without fail.
