No, frequently monitoring of progress is not micromanagement, and isn't status meetings either. The former is direction on how to make progress, the latter is, at best, sharing information about progress, not monitoring progress (if its used for top-down monitoring by a lead and not sharing among a team for coordination, it means most of the people are idle most of the meeting, and it probably should just be passive updates to the lead or, if meeting is necessary, one-on-ones with each staff to minimize the time people are unproductively idle.)

What this article is about is something else; individuals monitoring their own progress. Generalizing to groups, and addressing specific methods of monitoring progress in groups, is outside the scope of this research (though I suppose your comment is a perfect illustration of the way that incompetent managers are likely to misapply this kind of research to support counterproductive practices.)

Custora (YC W11) - http://www.custora.com - New York, NY - Engineering and Data Science

Marketing used to be an exercise in one-to-many communication: billboards, magazine ads, and - more recently - having a powerful social media presence. At Custora, we’re helping to turn this model on its head, using mountains of data to help our customers direct the right campaigns to the right users rather than blasting the same message to the largest audience possible.

We're growing quickly and looking to fill positions from Front-End Engineering to Data Science. We're analyzing data for well over 500,000,000 end customers, and this number is growing fast. We're building a marketing experimentation platform that's usable by entire marketing teams and we need your help to build new statistical models, to build the infrastructure to run those models, and to develop creative and intuitive ways of presenting our findings to our users.

We code in Rails, Angular, and Couscous, our distributed computation framework that runs statistical models with R and Spark.

Our job postings are at https://www.custora.com/careers. I'm more than happy to answer any questions and tell you more about us, so feel free to reach out to me at martin@custora.com.
I know, right? I've never in my entire life intentionally clicked on an ad, much less made a purchase decision based on one.

The wealth distribution is remarkably skewed. Today it might not mean anything but give it a few years of people having no money yet having bills, loans, mortgages, etc. to pay with no possibility of retirement and you have yourself a prime situation for another French revolution or oppressive police state.

It's not something that you can just let sit, it's going to get bloody if it is not addressed soon. We have seen this everytime in history. It is not possible to sustain such levels of income inequality.

InsureMyTrip | Warwick, RI | Full Stack Developer / Development Lead | ONSITE

InsureMyTrip is the industry leader in travel insurance aggregation. We pride ourselves on our forward-thinking technology, work/life balance and positive team dynamic.

We're looking for several full-stack developers and a Development Lead to join our team. We are currently in the process of renovating our core architecture, breaking up a monolithic PHP code-base into a modular service-based model written in Python / Flask on the back-end, and HTML/CSS/JS (using Aurelia) with a dab of PHP/Python glue on the front-end.

We're happy to talk to candidates who lean more towards front-end or back-end!

On the front-end, we're looking for people with deep knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Experience with JavaScript frameworks such as Angular or Aurelia is a plus.

On the back-end, we're looking for people with a strong knowledge base of network and web fundamentals, RESTful architecture and API design.

If you've got both, we're doubly interested in meeting with you!

Contact jobs@insuremytrip.com.

Hitmeister - http://www.hitmeister.de/ - Cologne, Germany (Full Time, ONSITE, VISA)

Web developer: full-stack, frontend, or backend. Most of us work at all levels of the web stack, but if your strengths lie in just frontend or backend work, that's okay too.

We're a small team (15 people) using PHP, Zend Framework, MySQL, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, RabbitMQ, and memcached. We have a customer-facing site, a JSON API, logistics software, and an internal admin site, all of which we build and maintain internally.

Hitmeister.de is one of the largest online shopping portals in Germany, with over 2.1 million customers to date. We have a warehouse from which we sell items directly, but we also have a marketplace with over 2,400 sellers running their own shops. We're seeing solid growth and we're looking for more programming talent to grow and improve the site.

Speaking German is helpful, but by no means required. I'm from the US and we have 3 other non-German developers. If you aren't an EU citizen, we are glad to help with visa issues as long as you qualify for an EU Blue Card. If you have a CS degree or at least 5 years of full-time experience, then you probably qualify. We only allow on-site work, but we'll help you relocate.

Here's the job description in German:

http://company.hitmeister.de/job/webentwickler-front-undoder...

If you have any questions, feel free to get in contact with me (info in my profile), or you can apply directly at jobs@hitmeister.de.

You don't. Employee options vest; there's no such thing as contractor vesting.

There is a sense in which stock compensation to a contractor is equivalent to raising cash from an investor and exchanging that cash with a contractor for services. During the first dot-com bubble, equipment vendors famously did that with startups; it allowed those vendors to book totally unrealistic sales which juiced their numbers even though they'd never see a return on the stock. It was, in effect, channel stuffing.

Today, though, a company that is willing to, in effect, raise an ad-hoc random funding round in order to get a contractor programming job done is a company whose stock is not going to be worth anything.

For mentally challenged people, researchers have done an analysis of the distribution of certain genes that are associated with the handicap. They have shown with high likelihood that mental handicap is actually different than just being on the low end of the intelligence distribution.

This study tries to answer the question, "is the same true for high intelligence?" The two general theories are the Continuity Hypothesis and Discontinuity Hypothesis. As its name suggests, the Continuity Hypothesis predicts that the high end of the intelligence distribution is continuous; extremely intelligence individuals don't violate the intelligence distribution the way mentally challenged people do. The Discontinuity Hypothesis predicts the opposite.

By analyzing the genes of twins and other close family members, the researchers found strong evidence of the Continuity Hypothesis.

When you read the news headlines about the latest data breach, does your heart sink with worry about whether your app/website will be next?

If so, we should talk.

I'm a software consultant with a great deal of knowledge about application and network security.

I've been building web applications for 13 years, fluent in multiple languages (but most experienced with GLAMP or GLEPP development). I've enhanced the security of many popular open source projects (including WordPress as of 4.4).

Most recently, I submitted the winning entry to the password hashing backdoor track of the Underhanded Cryptography Contest at the Crypto & Privacy Village at DEFCON. https://underhandedcrypto.com/2015/07/27/announcing-the-2015...

I've written a great deal about computer security on the blog for the company I consult through, Paragon Initiative Enterprises:

I can believe it. On the XPS 13, even when modifying or NULLing the master password on the internal sata drive, the unit's BIOS will reassign the BIOS (UEFI) admin password as a valid SED drive password, with no user intervention.

It's really just an 'in case of (casual) theft' level of encryption as far as I'm concerned. Good enough on the systems I'm using it on. For everything else, there's LUKS.
Is that sentence offensive somehow? Why the down vote?
Warning - most of this is just my opinion as a student and as a teacher in adult education. The article talks about a lot of this which makes me happy.

Lecture is my biggest problem with MOOCs. Lecture is the easiest and laziest way to teach a topic. I know because on my lazy days I tend to find myself falling back on it with my students. When I first started teaching I leaned on it heavily, and have learned it doesn't really work. Nobody retains anything of value.

Adults learn new things by doing and discussing. And adults zone out frequently. Really, the most the average adult can listen is about 15 minutes anyway, and after 10 you've probably lost interest. See http://www.mrmediatraining.com/2012/08/23/how-many-minutes-i... for some interesting info on that.

If you watch a cooking show, you learn some techniques. But unless you get in the kitchen and try to make that cake, and have someone give you feedback on your technique, then you won't learn how to do it.

But that doesn't scale online. Feedback and assessment simply don't work at that kind of level. And we know it doesn't. That's why in big lecture situations in traditional schools, there are lots of TAs, tutors, or supplemental instruction sessions to help people learn. But lectures scale really well for MOOCs so that's what they end up being - a series of video lectures. It's easy. Just record yourself talking and throw it online. And it's easy for students, too. They don't have to do things, they don't have to talk to anyone. They can just listen. And maybe zone out for a bit.

A huge benefit is that, as mentioned here, If you missed something in a lecture on video, you can rewind. But if you had a question or something to add, then the opportunity to do that in context is lost.

And that's where I think a lot of the dropoff happens too. We don't learn that way as adults. We learn by doing things and engaging with people. And if you can just take a course by watching someone talk to you, you've not really learned. You've just been told some stuff.

And this is why adults make comments like "I love online classes because I can slow the lecture down or rewind," Adules have been conditioned that lecture is how you're supposed to learn. Rewinding and slowing down is a bandage over the real problem; too much lecture and not enough application means you don't really learn - you don't retain things.

One last thing - lecture is highly effective for entry-level content if chunked. 15 minutes of lecture followed by direct application of the content or practice, followed by a review or reflection. Dr. Christine Harringon has some great insights on this. See http://drchristineharrington.org/publications for some.

I think the future of online learning is going to involve finding a way to scale the practice and assessment parts of learning. And I see interesting movement out there on that.

I'm a product-oriented UX researcher, PhD, favoring work with users (ethnographic-oriented methods such as job shadowing, contextual interviews). I can help you gather valuable and valid insight regarding your potential users and turn it into actionable requirements and improvements. If you want to make sure you're creating a product for real users and their real needs, I'd be very happy to help.

Currently most of my job is front-end web development (8 years experience, currently working in a large-ish Angular application interacting with a M2M/IoT solution).
A couple of days ago Centrifugo got version 1.0. It was 3 years ago when I started developing this project. Originally written in Python (Tornado) and called Centrifuge it migrated to Go language earlier this year (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10068403).

I personally believe that Centrifugo is quite distinctive server with some unique features and simple to use. It already helped adopting real-time events on several sites in Mail.Ru Group where I work and several other web projects around the world. It's especially helpful for applications with backend that can't painlessly work with lots of simultaneous connections - for example Django backed web projects. And it's MIT licensed - can help to save several hundred of dollars per month as a replacement of paid services.

Two additional links here, one to documentation – https://fzambia.gitbooks.io/centrifugal/content/ – and second to demo instance on Heroku (use password: demo) – https://centrifugo.herokuapp.com – so you don't need to run your own process to play with (it's on free Heroku dyno with all the consequences).

As usually any feedback much appreciated.
My usual advice is that if you are very familiar with IDEs and have used them in the past than using IntelliJ with plugins might be okay. Otherwise use the individual products.

IntelliJ can do almost everything the other IDEs can do, but since the others target one programming environment or language they tend to be easier to use for that environment.
My experience doesn't bear this out. Though the few extremely wealthy people I know seem very intelligent, I don't think intelligence correlates with income for the $15K-$200K annual income range. (This is the best proxy I know of for social stratum here in the Bay Area.)

I know very intelligent and very stupid people all over this income range, with no obvious pattern.
