This is a clever way of putting things, but what it is really saying is that leaders shouldn't let the people who are counting on them see their morale problems. But that doesn't mean that they can't have morale problems, or that they can't find support up or sideways on the chain of command.
Mark Zuckerberg’s wife gives birth to daughter,to give 99% of shares to charity
If nothing else, it's that the users get pulled into some braindead power struggle between two companies that they could care less about. Yet they are the ones who find that they cannot use the products anymore properly. Moves like this decrease the quality of both your product and your competitor's. Yet the whole sense of competition in capitalism is supposedly to increase quality.

Of course that's just the obvious consequences, ignoring the larger implications of allowing companies to place arbitrary restrictions on their services - when at the same time those services become more and more critical infrastructure.
I did miss the Medicare Tax part yes, however he takes a $1 salary which would put his regular tax bracket at 10% and long term capital gains would be 0% to start and work his way up to 15%. As long as he doesn't cash out $400k a year he never pays that 20%, and he shouldn't need to ever. You also need to subtract IPO price from current price. Which is about going to drop those estimates about 35%. It still a big chunk of change, no doubt, but I have no problem with getting around it by going to charities. Especially when he already paid ~$2Billion in taxes for the stock at IPO time. The top 400 tax payers only payed $16Billion in 2009 so, he has paid a huge amount.

We're hiring for a wide-ranging software engineering role (mainly full-stack JavaScript development) but we're more interested in finding the right person than requiring specific skills. You’ll be joining a small but ambitious team in a great working environment. If you're looking for influence, autonomy and real problems to solve within a fast growing company then please check http://chaser.io/jobs and then drop us a message. Thanks!
How about scaling? If you find something has already been done, then why not try making it bigger and better - yeah there's a library that can crawl a webpage, but how about crawling every webpage?

Yeah there's a library to recognise faces, but what about building a very quick search engine on top of it? What about one that can automatically spot celebs?

Yeah there's a library that can do substring matching using clever algorithms, but can you make it work in parallel across a cluster, can you achieve linear speedups?

Pick something that you find cool, then make it 1000 times bigger! :D
> But it has a bit of a snag for some languages if you were to try to "fix/correct/whatever" the genders of certain nouns to fit a social context. Take German with das Mädchen (das being neuter gender), the plural of this is die Mädchen, aka all plurals in German are feminine gender.

This is a complicated area and I'm not sure that the issues in German occur in the same places as in English: in English, for people, the exclusive dual grammatical gender has been paired with and directly mapped to (but for the use of the masculine grammatical gender to include generic ascribed gender) the exclusively dual socially ascribed gender, to which personal gender identity has been generally expected to conform. With languages with a more complex gender structure and where the mapping between grammatical gender and socially ascribed gender of persons is more complex, the particular problem areas (if any) where grammatical gender is problematic in terms of interfering with the desire to encourage socially ascribed gender to align with gender identity and, also, to avoid communicating gender(-identity/ascription) biased norms, may be different than in English.

It may be different, for that matter, even within a single language, based on the history and expectations around the use words and their associations in different places and cultures using the same language.
GIS (geographic information systems) is all about data visualization, mostly via maps but not exclusively. I would start off by looking for someone calling themselves a "data scientist" or listing GIS in their resume/skill sets.

I have no idea what it would cost. Though if you are just starting out, you probably do not need anything as complicated as the beautiful examples you posted. Someone good with an Excel spreadsheet and its inherent graphing capabilities could probably get you started.

Good data visualization is very much about GIGO: Garbage In, Garbage Out. If you don't know what questions to ask and why you are visualizing it, beautiful graphics won't fix anything.

Best of luck.

Just checking: Are you talking about the UK?
To clarify: I'm not actually British, but I have lived in England, and I'm perfectly aware that many people in England speak bad English. I was referring to written communications being at least semi-formal, like a professional blog post or a newspaper article, and I merely suggested that the appearance rate of neologisms is greater in AE than BE.
No, I agree that they are not separable. But the Christian position is that, if you chase happiness, you won't get it, but if you chase holiness (the right way, through God in Christ), you'll get happiness as well.

That is, if you want happiness more than God, you won't find true happiness. This applies directly to the university president's statement.
Don't know about the Saudi princes however the Koch Brothers have given away millions of dollars (and I am sure there also give away money anonymously as well).

http://www.kochfamilyfoundations.org/foundationsdhk.asp

Also rest assured that Facebook also "evades taxes" in the same way that the Koch brothers do, that is by taking advantage of the US Tax Code in a legal way. And none of us have any idea what the Koch Brothers have in their wills and have not publicly announced.

No mention in article about the worst part of corporate performance reviews: stack ranking, in which employees are ranked against each other, and only a certain number of employees can be given top marks (and top salaries), and a certain number are required to get low marks (and low salaries), force-fitting employees into categories that don't reflect reality, but that look good on paper.
Heh, good point at least though with this setup you don't have to boot into it or use it for anything else.
Hey, this is a safe space for anti-safe-spacers and you're making us feel distinctly unsafe by being purposefully hurtful; stating that all anti-safe-spacers are hateful sexist racists who don't notice when someone leaves a comparison dangling (There's a stark difference between "this isn't a place for hurtful things" and what?). You should know that anti-safe-spacers are a diverse group of individuals from all walks of life, genders, races, and wolf/human hybrids. We're only intolerant of people who are intolerant of other people's cultures. And the Dutch.

Also, I hope you realize how silly you sound. "Safe Spaces" are supposed to be free from antagonizing rhetoric, violence, and judgement. Its not supposed to be safe from the emotional pain you feel when someone tells you that you might be wrong for the first time in your life, or that a college sorority girl dressing up as Mulan isn't culturally insensitive (especially in today's world where the lines that traditionally divide us are being constantly eroded by near instant communication and a sub 24 hour flight to anywhere on the globe), or that god forbid that racism is not exclusive to white people of Anglo-Saxon decent. College specifically is about challenging world views and teaching students first and fore most how to become citizens of the world. Its not for "safe spaces" where students are tucked into comfortable rooms with rounded corners and foam flooring to make sure they never hurt themselves.
But the enemy in this war was fellow Europeans, sharing the same civilization, the same laws of war, more or less the same religion and outlook on life. "Fraternizing with the enemy" is only a problem if you're a stuffy old archvillain like Haig or Ludendorff -- or if you're fighting against an enemy with whom you really don't have very much in common. (The Iraqi insurgents, for example, liked to wear plainclothes in battle, set up mortar plates in schools and hospitals, and fight while waving white flags.)
"should have just used perl"
Most of these things can be achieved, but I really don't understand what most people expect from equality. For example, does equality mean that if I sit on my ass and do nothing, I get the same as the person next to me who works their butt off? Or does it mean that I get a fixed amount based on the effort I put in? How is that effort measured?

When people talk about equality, I'm not sure if they mean equal opportunity or equity or utopia (knowing that utopia depends on a slave class). Maybe it means something else.

The reality is that humanity has empathy and greed (noting they are not opposites). I can not imagine that I will ever see every person equally.

Remember games like Farmville? They are all Flash-based. I don't think any of them have or even have plans to move over to HTML5 yet afaik. Flash made game development really easy with it's combination of AS and the wysiwyg interface for tweening and timeline motions. Currently, I don't think theres a definitive equivalent for HTML5 yet.

Packetzoom | San Mateo, California | Full-Time. USA candidates only | VISA (H-1B transfers ok. New H1-B applications not feasible due to severe limits on visa numbers and long wait times)|

Contact jobs @ packetzoom.com or connect with me (Founder/CEO) personally using one of the methods in my profile. UNSOLICITED RECRUITER MAIL WILL BE FLAGGED AS SPAM IMMEDIATELY.

Mobile Networks are different. And yet we continue using the same legacy protocol stack (TCP/HTTP/SSL) to connect mobile devices to the cloud. We are changing this with radically new tech. If you want to help, come join us.

Packetzoom is rethinking the whole stack from the ground up. You get to hack network and/or security protocols, innards of mobile operating systems and build a global distributed system around brand new protocols. It's a small (but well funded) team so everyone contributes in everything.

PACKETZOOM ENGINEERING LEADER If you have shipped products or built services where you (at least) actually had to deal with unix at the syscall level (either in the userspace or kernel) in C/C++ code, we want to talk to you.

If you were responsible for shipping and maintaining the product for a decent amount of time, we really want to talk to you.

You'd be joining a small, elite team of engineers who build and run the PacketZoom stack (https://packetzoom.com/learn.html) on millions of mobile client devices (iOS, Android and any others we decide to pursue) as well as our globally distributed cluster of servers running our own C++ and java code. We also harvest and process millions of mobile network performance data points in realtime while squeezing every last ounce of performance out of the hardware. If that sounds like fun to you, please do connect.

SENIOR ENGINEERS

We're also looking for smart Software Engineers to join our team in individual roles. We're looking for smart generalists who can dig into any given area depending on the need of the day. The areas of focus range iOS and Android platform specific work (C++, Java/ObjC), to Data Engineering and analysis at massive scale for the global mobile network performance metrics, visualization and alerting on detecting trends in said data etc. Basically a whole lot of fun for the motivated computer scientist.

We're venture funded and have paying customers. Compensation will be market appropriate for your level and startups at our stage.

This is precisely what I was afraid of -- and kind of expected, with the roster of companies that are touting this shift.

Replacing performance reviews is a huge endeavor, I didn't really get the feel from this article of the definitive thing they found that enabled them to do it without making everything worse

From what I read when Adobe changed their process, when they say "performance reviews" they mean "the traditional bureaucratic 12-month employee review cycle." Employees are still being reviewed. The big change is continuous (or at minimum monthly) feedback between boss and report on what the company expects from the employee, what the employee expects from the company, and how reality is meeting expectations for both parties.

I expected this comment. Happy to see it. Though this comment isn't worth anything per say, this shows how the rest of India is ignorant or cannot accept the facts that this state is a shining example of how other Indian states should be. All I can relate this comment is to the below fable.

"Driven by hunger, a fox tried to reach some grapes hanging high on the vine but was unable to, although he leaped with all his strength. As he went away, the fox remarked 'Oh, you aren't even ripe yet! I don't need any sour grapes.'

People who speak disparagingly of things that they cannot attain would do well to apply this story to themselves."

The problem is that Mozilla really really would like you to believe that they're doing a public service. "We keep the web open! We defend your privacy! Donate now or Bad People will win!" That's their message. So yeah, it's a charity, but they make it sound like it's a charity that must exist, so it borders on being a utility.

> most people doing it have never donated or contributed anything.

Since when, in order to criticise something you use, you have to join it first?

> But also I don't understand what's the freaking deal with that Pocket button

I'll bite. Two issues:

1) Pocket is basically a centralized service to keep track of your reading. This goes quite clearly against Mozilla's own message of placing privacy and users' rights above everything else. Shipping such a feature as opt-out and fundamentally un-removeable is just bad on every possible level; it could have been worse only if Mozilla had started routing all your traffic through Microsoft servers.

2) There are umpteen services like Pocket, always have been, and none of them ever got a button in Firefox. So why Pocket? Why not one of the bazillion other services? Who chose it and why? Does that mean FF's toolbar is now open for business? Who do I bribe to get a button? ... That's a very opaque and fundamentally corrupt process, in an organisation constantly preaching openness.

You can ask a priest how it feels having to constantly adhere to a higher moral standard; it's the price you pay for getting people to listen to you, trust your judgement, and give you free labor. At any time you can just stop preaching and go do your own thing, but then you can't expect other people to still follow you.

> This is why Free Software will never happen at scale.

Lol. Newsflash: it's already happened.
That looks nice, but how can I use it?

I think it's good to have both. Philanthropy of rich guy means three things:

1. He can afford really good advisers. Democratically elected can be good. But they might be good at campaigning and only get selected because of party status.

2. He can afford to monitor charities closely. And enforce legal action if they fuck around. When you invest several millions, you probably take care that they reach the destination. If you just pay little taxes that go everywhere and you also have day job, much slimmer chance.

3. These individuals could fund projects that in the future give back to whole humanity. But such projects aren't always popular with the public in the start.
Hmm why not just dump the mapped memory when it started up? Or did it do this even after loading?
Why are the techno-barons so focused on human health? Not that there's anything wrong with these efforts, but human disease is much less of a threat to our species and planet than an ever-increasing human population. What I'm saying is that humans have little difficulty reproducing; it's a solved problem.

What's not a solved problem is our disappearing fisheries[1], rhinos going extinct all over the place[2], farmland desertification[3], tropical deforestation[4], ocean acidification[5]... From my back of the envelope math, it seems that longer lives and a larger population will exacerbate our environmental and resource issues.

I'd like to see billionaires purchase large tracks of land simply for preservation. Cleaning up industrial waste from rivers. Foot the salaries of anti-poaching efforts. Get clean fusion energy production up and running. That sort of thing. Perhaps we should get our planet's shit together before tackling immortality?
