If you work in a terrible place but do your best and just don't fit it in you should have a right to say what you didn't like about the places culture, no?

It keeps you from posting honest glassdoor reviews (no cons/negatives and zero faith glassdoor wouldn't release your info on discovery), telling friends what it was like to work there, etc.
Your BBC link says fighters were scrambled to approach the bomber that did not enter sovereign airspace. I'm not sure what your argument is.

I would say it's always been cheaper to shoot down an airplane than to build, use, and maintain it. That's nothing new.

I don't recall anyone ever claiming that stealth would make the planes undetectable, only harder to detect. You do realize that what we know as stealth technology today was developed 30 to 50 years ago? I would assume new technologies have been developed to defeat it. Even accidentally, such as your cell phone grid example; which did not exist when the stealth technology was developed. Doesn't mean it has always been a scam. Today's planes are "stealth-like" which means they have similar technologies but no one expects them to disappear into the night.

As for the cost, I agree. This trend of bigger, better, and more expensive is stupid.

Incremental progress is still progress.
It's not, if you can not even run that first build then you actually have nothing to work on.

Also, not frozen dependencies means you are at the mercy on any dependencies changes breaking your build at any time.

With that, even if your first build run and go fetch those deps and can build at T1, it is not guaranteed at all that the build will work at T1+n.

There is a big difference between your team working from trunk and your team being dependent on other projects trunk.
No, the balance in the bank is not the loan. You need some understanding of double-entry bookkeeping to understand fractional reserve banking. The loan(promissory note), is on the banks balance sheet as an asset. Your balance which you can withdraw as cash is on the banks balance sheet as a liability.

What is the bank risking when it creates the money and uses the anachronistically titled "loan" contract to distribute it? • They risk only being able to extract so much labor.
• They risk taking on collateral which is a REAL asset that someone worked for, like their home if they're unable to generate enough of the assets the banks just write into existence.
• They risk passing the buck up the ladder ultimately to the lender of last result if they're "too big to fail" which just creates more money to deal with the problem.

Banks are not lending out other people's money, everyone tacitly knows this, if they were how come when you go to the bank they never say, sorry its out on loan at the moment? This was the case at historically and banks are still riding on the fact that people haven't gotten wise to the way it's worked for centuries now.

There is no lending taking place when bank loans are made.

They're much too slow. It's understandable that it takes time to get the first version (WP 7) out of the gates, but from then on ... much too slow. There's no excuse. They should've replaced the project lead a couple of years ago.

Then, they have massive issues with their store. This is not acceptable as it's a piece of diligent work which a company like Microsoft just have to get done.

However, it's not over yet. I'm at a 600'000 employees cooperation and they strive to Windows Phone and Win 10 tablets.
But it would be nice to know where the problem is at. If 6.5% of applicants were black women and only .12% were accepted, especially if the ideas were rated as average in a found blind rating... that would indicate a huge problem.

If .06% of those applying were black women, but .12% of those accepted were, it would show the problem has nothing to do after the application and is all about getting people to apply to begin with, which is a different problem with a different solution needed.
We're planning to support the web and other native platforms. I use Windows.

Trump is in no way representative of the country as a whole. He exists as a phenomenon because a relatively small minority really likes him, and because the Republicans have not managed to find any candidate even slightly worthwhile.

When you see that Trump is polling at 31% or whatever, keep in mind that 31% of early Republican primary voters is a pretty small number of people. With a more normal candidate you might take that as being in some way representative of the wider population, but Trump is probably not going to gain much more support than he already has, since he's so extremely polarizing.

It's never made sense that H1B Visas are awarded by lottery instead of salary. In a lottery system a company can game the system by applying for thousands of visas.

If they were to do it based on highest salary it would offer U.S. workers more pay protection, and it would still allow companies to bring over the high-quality talent they need.
>Exactly right, but over the past six years there's been a strong (and accelerating) trend among developers of "lalala we don't want to know how anything works! give us an API and go away."

I will argue that this trend has always existed. I'm sure you can find an x86/68k/z80 developer complaining that developers are going "lalala we don't want to know how anything works! give us an the C-language and go away."*

I'm sure there are developers who couldn't imagine learning C without learning x86, and saw developers learning C without learning x86 as "willful ignorance".

Good abstractions will cause developers to simply gloss over how they work.
Then they'd just lower the amount offered.

I think what is much more likely is that the government will simply raise taxes to cover the shortfall and let the public transit die.
> the ones capable of playing in the big leagues where you'd quite like them to come back are just as expensive as manned aircraft.

Yes, the US relies on expensive technology in either drones or manned aircraft. What they are loosing is the ability to have pilots get close to the enemy and actually utilise their eyes.

You just dismissed real evidence that men are discriminated against as being completely justified, and then implied that discrimination against women exists once in the workplace without a shred of evidence.

Companies are clearly working hard to discriminate against men when hiring, and without evidence the default conclusion should be that they do the same thing within organizations when handling promotions.
I really find that hard to believe, and historically real growth has averaged about 2% year over year. Just because it has had short-run highs in the 1950s and 2000s does not mean that right now is abnormally low.
Note that the A-10 was designed post Vietnam and saw its first active service in the 1991 Gulf War, not in a jungle. It happened to do well. I find the engineering management of the A-10 quite interesting. The plane has done well, it is loved, but it's also had the most friendly fire kills of any aircraft of the modern era. There is a engineering case study review of the creation of the program, the multiple attempts and successful killing of the project in the 80s here (note that was for construction, taking our current planes out of service is a work in progress since they will be flightworthy through most of the 2020s): http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a530838.pdf

Ask HN: Is there any legit hair loss research?
I'm in my mid twenties and slowly been going bald over the last few years. Not ideal but also not the end of the world. Baldness has been around for at least several thousands of years. However, we have made a lot of technological advances in recent times, many of which improve our lives in fairly superficial ways. Nonetheless, it seems that hair loss is the realm of miracle cures, sketchy companies and con artists. Let's just say googling "scientifically proven hair loss treatment" isn't going to get you very far!

The only semi-legit treatment I know of is Finasteride. However, the Wikipedia article is pretty light on the supporting research, and extremely light on references to studies about its perceived side effects.

I was wondering, does the Hacker News crowd know of any legitimate research into male pattern baldness; causes and treatments, that are backed up by scientific evidence? In particular I'd be interested to know of the existence of any peer reviewed studies from respectable institutions.
Second this. Definitely a good beginner's book.
>what other country would allow this kind of nonsense to happen.

Trade is a 2 way street. If the west wants Indian and Chinese markets open to their goods (western brands are ubiquitous in those places), they will want concessions on services and immigration quotas.

Recent pushes by the US to open India's retail sector would have wiped out millions of jobs, much more than the few thousand complained about here.
> either for Git or just Github, there's some gap between the ideal they described and how things work in practice

The hub-spoke topology is the easiest way of distributing source code to a lot of people. If the hub goes down, this is what happens. If that leads to a halt in productivity, then that is a failure in contingency planning. Git gives you many tools to distribute your workflow, but that won't save you if your workflow is centralized around Github.

Granted, sometimes you don't really have a choice whether to depend on Github, such as when working with language package managers. Perhaps that goes to show that mirroring and resiliency should be a design consideration in those tools, but it's not a shortcoming of Git itself.

> even CVS or Subversion repos on high availability systems didn't have 2 hours of downtime

It's easier than ever to have HA with a DVCS: clone the repository somewhere else and keep it in sync with commit hooks.

Large FOSS projects (should) do this by keeping a self hosted repository, and mirroring somewhere else like Github, Bitbucket, etc. Internally, an org should be able to quickly stand up a SSH or HTTP server for the purpose, or have collaborators push-pull directly from each other. Worst case? Send patches. Git apply works really well, and you might be surprised at how clever git-merge is when everyone finally syncs up.

That's what it means to be distributed: there is no real concept of a "central" node, unlike Subversion. Every local checkout has a full copy of the repository history. Any centralization is a (somewhat understandable) incidental artifact of how Git is being used.
I don't know if the statements about the keyboard can be attributed to dishonesty. But when you ask a programmer what they /do/ most of the time, the first thing they think of is programming, and that usually uses the keyboard. But programming is a tiny fraction of what a programmer actually does. Reading, searching, browsing, experimenting, navigating file systems and build systems, running things -- the actual coding is a tiny part at the end, in reality, but it completely dominates the entire activity in our mental model of what it is.
Correct, the structure of those 2 are different yet is is often the case that an Outsource company will be brought onsite and be badge direct replacements to employees. They are awarded a giant contract as Staff Aug to the enitre IT org or department.

Not sure how I should have titled the OP, since it's to the very informative front page of Robomongo's site, but the important part is that they need funding.

Funds are being raised through https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/save-robomongo#/

I don't currently use Robomongo, but someone recently mentioned it as a useful tool and, well I'm a sucker for high-quality, open-source projects - I want them to be able to succeed or fail based on the product's merit not on the team's ability to raise funds! So, I'm trying to do my part and bring them a bit of HN visibility.
I'm not sure why people are having so much trouble with this question, which can easily be restated as "why can't someone build a laptop that has at least as good a display as what Apple calls a 'retina' display while having the same battery life as an rMBP?"

An easy answer to that question would be to submit for consideration some non-Apple laptop that accomplishes that. I'm sure it must exist, and that would be a good thing to know about.

That there is some random Dell laptop with better resolution than a retina display and worse battery life is simply not responsive to the question.
So then the computer software that generated the joke would be considered the work of art instead of the jokes that were generated? After all, the software was man-made, even though the generated output was computer-made.
Real question: does the fact that you can disable it ameliorate the situation at all? They are not forcing their customers out of freedom. I always assumed there would be customized services that sacrificed freedom for cost—so long as it is not the only feasible option, I don't see a problem here.

This is anti-consumer because it takes the decision of which streaming provider that I want to use as a consumer and puts it into the hands of my Internet provider.

This is anti-competetive because if I am the creator of a new streaming service, I do not have a level playing field with the competing "free" streaming services offered at zero rating. I may also be forced to play ball with this provider in order to comply with the demands to be zero-rated, again limiting my ability to be competitive.
How does a guy like that become senior? As a senior one should know that there is a pragmatic balance lost in trying to aim for perfection.
Note that per the CSP spec, browser extensions should NOT be affected by CSP. The fact that they are in browsers is technically a bug, caused by the fact that once you've injected stuff into a page browsers don't so much track where it came from...

This does mean that currently CSP can stop various malware-ish extensions, but also that it stops legitimate ones (e.g. say an extension wants to apply a certain font that the user finds more readable to the entire page). It's a tough tradeoff.
I found a better analogy to be a fire.

Think of products/startups as fires, they start small, can't use large logs straight away, need constant attention, you could use a lot of petrol (financing) to get it started faster, but it could also just fizzle out immediately if the large logs don't catch fire as well.

Once they get going, you don't have to watch it so closely, you can just add a log here and there, maybe remove some ash.

The goal of the fire is to get people to gather around it. The warmth in this case matters a lot, but also the people gathering around the fire.

In fact some people might pick another fire because it has people who are interested in the same things as them.

Sometimes a fire gathers TOO many people, and it gets crowded. The maker of the fire didn't make sure it grew large enought to provide warmth to many people - and so people on the outside get cold and go to another fire.

Most of the time though, if someone is by a fire that provides enough warmth for him and he likes the people around it, there is little compelling reason to go to another one.
What about the people who have already lived there, who aren't on engineering salaries and work service positions?

I think it's fun to be flippant, but there still certain demographics that are being displaced and negatively impacted by the bubble.
>You seriously think having double or probably triple from just one salary isn't rich?

First of all, cost of living varies widely from locality to locality. Making 90k a year in middle of nowhere Idaho or some other piece of flyover country is totally different than making 150k in an urban area like NYC or SF.

Saying: "welp, it's your fault your cost of living is so high, you should move 2 hours away to Sacramento, stupid" is not only incredibly naive, but borders on a level of ignorance that I haven't seen in quite some time.

Every single Trump supporter I've heard from says that they admire the way that Trump speaks his mind and says what he thinks, rather than lying and pandering like normal politicians.

I don't know about the rest of us, but do we matter for this?

The only redeeming thing about this whole Trump fiasco is that his apparent popularity is highly misleading, since he's merely the frontrunner of a completely awful field.

but all those other free trade deals were positive

In economics, "free trade creates additional wealth for all involved" is closer to consensus among economists than is "the Earth is warming" is among climatologists. The paper [1] that the OP references does itself say that their conclusion is peculiar to the circumstances of China:

"While these results do not at all suggest that international trade is in the aggregate harmful to nations--indeed, China's unprecedented rise from widespread poverty bears testimony to trade's transformative economic power--it makes clear that trade not only has benefits but also significant costs."

but NAFTA was a massive job killer

As it happens, Don Boudreaux [2] just published something relating directly to this:

"since NAFTA took effect Mexicans have invested more – 59 percent more, to be precise – in manufacturing activities in the U.S. than Americans have invested in manufacturing activities in Mexico."

Quoting Confucius again:

Obviously you've never worked there!

No, I haven't. But I've been there many times, and know many people who do work there. What I've observed myself is that for the average person on the street in Shanghai - say, someone making and selling pork buns, or a farmer bringing in a cart of vegetables from the country - there seems to be a significant laissez-faire attitude. At a larger scale - what we're talking about for international trade - my perception is that while China may have many barriers, knowing the right people and being able to "grease the wheels", makes things proceed relatively easily. In America our regulations are taken much more seriously - we don't have anything like their degree of corruption, but we also don't have that as a means to get around onerous rules.

Are Trump's politics actually reactionary, or not? I am not sure I have a good sense of what his actual policies would be. Saying things that he's said about immigration might appear reactionary, but I'm not sure it's not as much a play to Peoria, where the lower and middle class whites that still make up the majority of the electorate are feeling the pain of globalization and the erosion of their traditional economy.

As a big business New Yorker, I suspect he'd be a lot more of a centralist on many issues than anyone else in the race right now, possibly on either side of the aisle.
