Looking for a Product Manager position at a startup in NY. I am currently working at a big company and I am looking to move to a smaller company where I can have a bigger impact on the product and where I can learn faster by working at a fast paced environment with smart people. I have experience working with mobile products as I developed my own while in school and worked on Reminders in Inbox during my time at Google.
The way I think about this, is that currency is a form of information. If we want an optimal economy, we want everyone to have table stakes at least, so we can get more information. I don't see how to get universal participation in the information flows without something like basic income.

I like your concave / convex image, thanks for that.
I think swift is great as long as you are squarely in the Apple ecosystem, which was true for this use case...but the fact that they were using macs to drive robots was curious to me. Is there some advantage in robotics to using Apple/OSX? Why not linux, BSD, or some other embeddable operating system and off-the-shelf hardware?
Yup. I'm consistently amazed at the law enforcement apologists who vociferously argue about one's legal options in circumstances where law enforcement is already conducting itself illegally.

Meta: I understand that HN encompasses far, far more than classical hacker culture, but the pro-authoritarian drift of this community is really becoming apparent.
You could put a filter trap on the drain, but you'd have to empty it often. People uses these for sceptic systems etc..
You'll love the ending. I highly recommend you read the sequel as well: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FZVI2M/
So it's a good thing Truman put a stop to it before it got out of hand.
That depends, because you can actually recover it for free over a long enough time period. It's easy if you plan your file sizes in advance based on your allowance, and don't need it in a hurry.

Your bill is based on your peak retrieval rate multiplied by the number of hours in the month.

But you can retrieve a calculable amount an hour, for free, all month, for however long it takes to get your files back. You could also pay a little bit more, and get them back much after.

You certainly wouldn't want to request all 3TB at once though.(It would be billed spread over four hours, and it'd still be thousands.)

You can request ranges of files, so even if you have massive files, you can still throttle the requests to below a given threshold if you're careful.

We're re-watching Arrested Development because we can't find anything else to follow.

Currently waiting for new seasons of:

* Sunny in Philly
* Curb your Enthusiasm
* Game of Thrones

So.. I'd say he's right. We did try Halt and Catch Fire and other shows but honestly there isn't' nearly enough 'good' TV for our household to watch

Couchbase as a Service: Joyent Triton
it's inconceivable that a fireman of the mid-20th century didn't know how to defend himself against the danger

Not as much as you might think. Firefighters routinely fought fires without SCBA up until at least the 70's, and probably into the 80's in rural areas. And if they weren't using SCBA for structure fires, they probably weren't using them for rescue calls in most cases. It was a cultural thing... for a long time, firefighters just didn't understand/appreciate the importance of SCBA. In hindsight that seems hard to believe, but it's been a slow process to get to a place where every firefighter is rigorous about making sure they use SCBA at all required times. (To some extent, that could be said about other protective gear as well, including turnout gear and PASS alarms).

Also consider that many (probably most) fire departments don't receive a lot of specific training on confined space rescue. Of course, you might ask, "why not?" and the simple answer is "time". Especially with volunteer firefighters, you can only get folks out for so much training a week. And fire calls are many times more common than confined space calls, so most training time is spent on the routine firefighting stuff.

Similar thing with hazardous materials training... it's a relatively recent thing for the majority of fire departments to receive specific haz-mat training, and even then, unless the department runs a specialized haz-mat team, their personnel probably only train to the "awareness" level.

I don't mean to excuse the fire chief, as I don't know the details of that specific story. But for something like that to happen, especially that many years ago, isn't a complete surprise.

Source: I was a firefighter and certified firefighting instructor throughout most of the 90s / early 2000's. My dad was also a volunteer firefighter and I've had a lifelong interest in the fire service.
Thought on Diversity Part 2. Why Diversity Is Difficult
Was TV ever better than Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Sopranos, etc etc?

Every era of TV had its gems, but for every Seinfeld in the 90s there were 10 "The Nanny"s.
Basically another run at the message "Hey saving when you're young is a lot easier than saving when you're old and much more effective." Putting away $1,000 when you're 20 can easily be $4,000 in the bank when you're 50. Plan for that period of time when you're tired of what you have been doing for the last 20 - 30 years, and want to spend time doing a new thing. You'll need savings to cover the burn rate.
It's not available for Google Apps users or am I missing something? It doesn't show any replies to me...
For business, it's a pretty nice package. Hosted Exchange is the big one but, having full Office compatibility in the browser with integrated cloud storage for when LibreOffice doesn't work is really convenient and a step beyond what you can do with Gmail/Google Docs. We used to have a mix of different incompatible Office versions that were a headache to manage, and things are much simpler now. It would be great if everyone just used LO, but we all know that's not going to happen.
Will I be able too program a weekly schedule like I can with my wifi thermostat?
Keynesians believe that there is malinvestment. They just believe that malinvestment has a direct impact on per capita efficiency but doesn't have an impact on labor utilization except through aggregate demand.

Basically there is a difference between

1. 10 people growing bananas when the economy would be better off with 7 people growing bananas and 3 people growing apples.
2. 9 people growing bananas and 1 person sitting on his butt doing nothing because he can't find a banana growing job. Even though the economy would be better off with 10 banana growers then none.

The problem with recessions is that per person productivity usually goes up but less people are employed. This phenomenon is hard to explain without referencing aggregate demand.
>Lack of privatization in Post-Soviet states lead to massive human suffering.

No, lack of rule-of-law and stochasticity (allowance of firms to succeed or fail on their own merits) lead to massive human suffering. If you "privatize" everything without solid rule-of-law and with bank bailouts, you get massive human suffering and no growth. If you "nationalize" things without solid rule-of-law and without allowing experiments in new ways of doing things, you get massive human suffering and no growth.

Introducing Simple Triage for Your GitHub Issues
I've never been on the other side, but as an employee it's a red flag if the company is too secretive about this stuff. One of the main reasons I work at a startup is that I don't want to deal with red tape. If you have a question about how the business operates, you should ask the person that can give you the best answer. They should give you a straightforward answer or a legitimate reason why they can't.
Interesting piece...

As a relatively newly minted Product Manager, I struggle, every day, to figure out what, exactly, my job is, other than to abuse commas (I'm in a rather odd spot in that I have no mentor and weak senior leadership, so I'm largely responsible for defining my own role in an organization that doesn't really grok what product management involves).

One thing I've found is that I can't easily put my finger on what exactly I do... "leadership + coordinator/facilitator" is the best I can come up with. It's something that's troubled me for a while now, but this post makes me realize that maybe that's just normal, which is rather nice to see.

Still doesn't mean I know what the hell I'm doing, but that's a different problem...
Show HN: Demeter – Organize your tasks
It bothers me too. However, I wonder if it's realistic to think a President will ever fight or hinder the national security or law enforcement establishment, especially publicly. Off the top of my head, I can't think of one who has (though they may change the rules, as Obama has), no matter what they say during campaigns.

Loyalty is the #1 rule of any organization, and publicly turning on your own subordinates would appear exceptionally disloyal; look at the price De Blasio paid in NYC for mild criticism of law enforcement. The President has over a million people working for him/her in the executive branch; he/she is highly dependent on them to get anything done and done properly. Also, President's jealously guard their power and authority; they are unlikely to take steps to significantly reduce it.

I suspect the only remedy will come from outside the executive branch, such as Congress or the judiciary. (Part of the reason the US has 3 co-equal branches of government is for situations like this one.)
Is this even remotely doable?

I have to be honest - I don't like the idea of government playing the role of national HR department.

At the Temple of Dendur in the Metropolitan Museum of Art one of my favorite things is graffiti chipped in the stone by British soldiers campaigning against Napoleon in Egypt. It's not ancient, but it's still history.

I think the context was that after doing multiple layers of texture mapping on a 3D object, a 128-bit color space wasn't enough to be fully accurate. I'll see if I can find what I'm most likely miss misremembering.

Thanks for the SE link. 2.4M can't be right or we wouldn't be able to see banding all over the place right? The link says including luminosity, it might be up to 100M. So 24 bit wouldn't cut it but 30 would?
That's a heck of a lot of words for a tiny semantically void change. A more cynical me would assume a whole bunch of product people at twitter are well familiar with justifying their job in the face of obvious uselessness.

I am a recent grad from Brown U. looking to work at an early stage tech startup. I am a fast learner and self-starter programmer so even if I don't know your stack I can get familiar with it very rapidly. I have built several mobile applications including one for Google Glass. I'm more interested in working on something exciting with smart people rather than big compensations.

I am especially interested in education, health, government, developer tools, consumer and infrastructure startups.
Technically I think these are closer to cruise missiles rather than drones. And there will no doubt be a market for a directional EMP gun which can knock out the electronics of a flying device as a counter measure. But frankly I feel it is only the fact that the military is pretty slow to pick up new tech in a low grade war situation that has prevented this from becoming much scarier.
I would imagine that, without a structured government to prevent your destructive behavior and the inevitable response, the owner of the Starbucks in question would shoot you for damaging their property. Neither your actions nor the response of the owner would be considered vigilante justice.
There isn't enough TV for Netflix because Netflix sells TV to binge watchers who always want the next show.

FX wants to sell high end content at a premium. They don't want so much TV that anyone can find great rerun content on Netflix. FX wants you to watch a new episode of the Americans. They don't want you to binge watch 8 seasons of X-Files.

Netflix actually benefits if content is cheap. FX benefits if content is expensive.
Cool, product.

I'm not super excited about the use of WebCrypto, but it isn't any worse than storing passwords in the clear in a database.

My biggest question is does it support having an audit log of who accessed what credentials when? If that is supported I could see some our our teams switching over to this.

Twitter lost the plot. Oh look, riots in Istabul. Four people injured. I guess I'd better heart that one. Because I love violence... What is the storyline here? Many people use Twitter for live coverage of events, to organize protests, and to keep up with professional news. How does a heart fit into these use cases??
Another useless change. If you want to try out something that makes Twitter far more usable, try removing retweets.

1. Install uBlock Origin.

2. My Filters add: http://twitter.com ## .tweet[data-retweeter]

3. Enjoy a Twitter without retweets.

I can hear all the non-US persons reading this article and laughing about all the insane idiocy that we put up with from the US tax code and IRS.

All US persons have to put up with at least this amount of calculation every year (otherwise pay more than is strictly necessary, or possibly suffer penalties and fines later), and the details constantly change with the political tides.

This is why tax reform crops up as an issue every 4 years, though it somehow never manages to survive past primary season to the general election.

"This is true. If a local cop doesn't like what you're telling him, it's a lot more difficult for him to charge you with a felony, though."

Is it? How hard would it be for him to "find" enough drugs in your car to charge you with felony possession? Or charge you with assault against a police officer? (what assault? The one that he and his colleagues just "witnessed" while you claim you were handcuffed to a chair - who is the jury going to believe? You or 5 uniformed police officers who "saw" the whole thing?) Better hope you don't "steal" his gun and end up dead in a self-defense shooting.

There's a lot that a local cop can do to make your life miserable if he's not bound by law (or ethics)

Don't count on police cameras to keep you safe since they can "malfunction" when the video they capture may be inconvenient like "officials say all seven dashboard cameras in the police cruisers coincidentally malfunctioned." (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2014/03/26/...)

Without being an ass or criticizing the course (which seems very cool) I find it very strange that an experienced Javascript programmer would have a hard time learning React. Not that I am some master in it, but I've learned the basics on the official tutorial and some bits here and there over the internet and tweaking with it.

Also I don't think a begginer course will make everybody a master on the topic.
Yes, we plan to do that for the lamp scheduler. People who work hard needs to sleep in on the weekends, right?

Our current code is fixed to daily schedule and that worked well. Pretty soon we will implement the schedule for the whole week.
> But replying to email on mobile is a real pain, even for short replies.

Imo, this has already been solved. I just whisper replies into my watch for both email and SMS. Google's voice recognition is finally good enough for this. I can't think of anything more convenient.

I'm not sure if AI-ish replies are something I'm interested in. Throwing complex fuzzy logic at what should be a hardware/interface problem seems shortsighted. I prefer a much higher level of granular control, especially if these messages are work related.

I've run the server source as a private textsecure chat app. You can run your own without the proprietary gapps framework app too by mimicking what GCM does on your own back end, and it works with wifi if you change the identifiers to email/nicks instead of phone numbers, but this was for a small number of coworkers nothing of massive scale. This was for business communication from China since at that time TS wasn't working very well behind the GFC but they added another server around that time (I assume, all connections got better) so we abandoned our hacked fork for regular TS/Signal.

I haven't heard of module flag-driven development-- would love to hear more details.

We manage the cleanup issue by defining a "removal branch" that cleans up the feature flag at the same time the feature flag is introduced. This sticks around as a dormant pull request during the lifetime of the flag. It's not much overhead when this is done early. Cleanup does become painful when the code's not fresh in your mind.

Note that we do feature branches as well as feature flags-- trunk vs. branch based development is orthogonal to using feature flags.

I don't care how you define it, what I'm asking is, is that better? Is that the society we want?
Sure you can... there is no reason why those JavaScript styles can't be outputted to a css file in your preprocessing step.

Jon Stewart And HBO Conclude Exclusive Four-year Production Pact
So it seems to me that we both agree that changes in perceived wealth can alter demand. We both agree this change in demand leads us to produce less than we are capable of producing. Why shouldn't we increase demand to so that we produce as many goods as we are capable of producing and exit the recession?
>They are not on your side if they are asking you questions.

It really depends on whether you are a suspect. If you saw someone get murdered by another person, who you don't know, then you really have nothing to fear.

You can still get a lawyer if you want, but paying $300 an hour to report a crime is probably a waste of your money.

But if there is any chance you could be considered a suspect, you should get a lawyer.

I might agree with federal agents always necessitating a lawyer because they don't fuck around. But state police aren't going to drum up a case about lying to police because they didn't like your answers.
It's a really long article explaining and justifying what "Product" is.

I think a much simpler explanation is that product management is the hub that connects all of the other groups together in a unified and consistent fashion.

Is marketing up to speed on exactly what is launching a month before it launches, so they can prep content and PR people? Do sales people understand exactly how we should or should not be selling a new feature? Do finance and legal know how we're going to sunset that old piece of functionality without violating contractual agreeements with customers?

Thats' all product management. And then you get into the roadmap side of things, but even that is largely in service of the above goal.

I'm not one of those product people who thinks that all companies need product managers. But I think in the end, someone ends up filling that need, whether they have a formal title or not. It could be a sales exec, or a presales engineer, or a head of engineering with good business sense, but that's the job function they're stepping in to fulfill.
