It's not a Europass CV problem if it's too long or doesn't put the relevant information forward. That's the applicant's problem imho.

Europass is awesome. Perhaps not perfect but the original aim was to have a standard format for the EU and leave behind all the local national rules of how-a-cv-is-expected-to-be.

Also, I can't help to think that you must suck as a recruiter/interviewer if you draw conclusions from the tool that the applicant used to generate a CV, rather than by its contents.
I'm emotionally putting it under "amazing studies whose implications will likely never be realized", but I digress: this is literally awesome.

- i've tried and failed many times at this. Finally, I started an outsourcing company 5group.co. My growth model is to get business from field partners like your self and pay them 20% of the life time of profits from that customer. For example, if someone refers a chat support outsourcing customer and the customer spends 10k usd in a year, we pay out about $1400. We manage the labor/office space etc so the is no capex like in real estate. You do need to have the savvy to generate business though.

Programming languages are kind of like religion, or one's favorite beverage/food. Everyone has their own preference/coding style. I wouldn't let negative comments on HN steer you away from learning Go. Of course, I'm biased because I write Go code and enjoy it, but there will always be folks who love something and hate something. You'll never know whether you enjoy coding in Go unless you try it for yourself.

Some of the criticisms of Go are valid and some are just haters doing what haters do--hating. Keep in mind Go is very young for a programming language. It's only about 6 years old, but it's use is becoming more and more widespread as it matures.

Although you are correct in that the standard library is pretty much all you need to write CLI apps, this library is definitely useful if you're willing to pull in a third-party dependency: https://github.com/codegangsta/cli

Vice's Shane Smith Interview
Wow, they didn't have SSA in there yet? That's quite a surprise as, as far as I understand, SSA is pretty common nowadays in compiler techniques. Even for the MOSA compiler we had this.
I suggest just writing something in it.

A lot of the criticisms turned me off as well, but I dove in anyway.

I stopped paying attention to the criticisms when I found out how incredibly productive I was able to be in Go.

Give it a try and make your own call on it. The cognitive overhead of jumping into Go is so small compared to many other languages.
Child labor was a classic 'bootleggers and baptists' scenario where well-intentioned activists were empowered by self-interested parties to achieve economic gain. Much like how prohibition was maintained by selfish bootleggers and teetotaling baptists, child labor laws were enacted by a mix of self-interested industrialists, city-centric unions, and well-intentioned wealthy activists.

>">We must remember that depriving families of income doesn't help them

I believe similar arguments were made in favour of slavery. That didn't work out so well either.
The best way to not deprive families of income is to... not deprive families of income."

I am not an expert on slavery, but I don't think the main problem was parents having their children work to earn money for the household... and I'm not sure how you could interpret my point as being one in favor of slavery.

>">The best way to not deprive families of income is to... not deprive families of income.

It's an unusual world view that suggests that not working their children to death somehow gets in the way of this."

If you want to free children from dreadful toil and danger, you should do so by helping them and their families (through charity, and by personally helping them), rather than by restricting them to further poverty. Saying someone can't have a job doesn't make them rich, and being self-righteous about it doesn't help either.
One would assume there were more than $250M in bitcoins circulating, which seems to be the threshold for prosecution here.
Ask HN: How could I have a summer internship with a tech startup
I'm a 1st year Computer Science student. I have an 8 average and I have programmed on my own in Node.js, Java (Android), C and others.

I'd like to have a summer internship with a tech startup, especially in Sillicon Valley (very hard, I know). I'm not American.

Could you give me some advice? Where should I look for the internship, what should I do?

Thank you very much!
Never is a long time. Maybe we won't benefit, but our children may.

If an outage caused 2 hours of read-only access to repos it would still be moderately impactful, but at least we could still build our Go code.
Definitely take a look at Go. If criticism on HN is what you're concerned about, I can tell you that when I started writing Go ~3 years ago it got a lot more criticism on HN than it does now. I've used it as my primary language since then and it's a fun language.

Sports definitely are a public concern. Exercise improves health (well maybe this doesn't apply to football ;).

A better question would be whether these grand spectacles actually increase sport participation in the general population, and if that same effect can't be attained in a cheaper way.
The biggest issue I've seen with JDK upgrades is not the language changes but bytecode changes. Many tools and frameworks such as Guice, Spring, PowerMock, AspectJ, and code coverage tools all operate on byte code, not source code. Therefore, whenever there is a classfile format change, all these tools potentially break until they are updated.
Serious question: What would you be willing to pay for Intercom? Which features would you use the most?

Intercom is a cross between a CRM, Marketing Automation, Support and Live chat. There are open source alternatives for each of these product lines

> gross neglect is one thing, but if it's a safer driver than I am, and it screws up, we call that an accident.

Exactly my thoughts. You typically have very little to go on if a company did something to you and they were not in neglect. At least in Europe/The Netherlands, I don't really know about the US. (The stories we hear is that in the US, neglect means not warning that coffee is indeed hot, or that you should not put pets in a microwave to warm them up... I don't believe that really so I'll just assume it's similar to here.)
It also has something more fundamental than religion... it is tribalism. Us versus them. You get to be part of the accepted in-group, and get to hate the out-groups. That kind of need is wired deep in people's brains.

Ideally, all this effort would be put towards a more productive end, such as rooting for your local FIRST robotics team.

I don't mean to be blasphemous, but from a high level, is the performance issues with Ruby (and Rails) that necessitate close binding with Redis (i.e., lots of caching) part of the issue?

It sounds like the fundamental issue is not Ruby, nor Redis, but the close coupling between them. That's sort of interesting.

$500M? The stadium cost $365M and most of it private money. The county loaned $45M for improvements.

Busch Stadium had a final cost of $365 million when it opened in 2006. Of that cost, $45 million (12%) came from a long-term loan from St. Louis County. Private financing came in the tune of $90.1 million in cash from the Cardinals, $200.5 in bonds paid by the team, and $9.2 million in interest earned on the construction fund the Cardinals held. The stadium has a seating capacity of 46,861 and is owned by the St. Louis Cardinals. The stadium does not have a roof, or its own named expressway. I was unable to determine who paid for the cost overruns of $20.2 million.

Premiums go up because information is revealed to the insurance company that you are the type of person who gets into accidents. You were always this kind of person, but the insurance company didn't know until it happened.

From this point on, you might become less accident-prone than your previous self, but you established that you're more likely to get into accidents than the average 0-accident driver.

> Obama and a Democratic congress avoided that issue because it would have had ZERO traction with some huge campaign donors.

You described special interests, not right-wing capitalists. Special interests including people who would be confused then upset about losing their employer-provided healthcare.

> left-wing price controls did not start the current healthcare model

Sure it did, at least as the employer involvement is concerned. FDR froze wages, so employers provided other benefits, like company cars and free healthcare.

I'm not saying there's a clean way to get there (keeping employers and healthcare separate) from here (the current mess). But it's not a right-wing conspiracy or something.

Strongly agree. I've tried many a time to 'get into' baseball, but every day is just way too much. It also tends to increase the importance of each individual game, which (ignoring the quasi-nihilistic "it's just a sport, man") is another reason for the popularity.
Comcast’s Great Quarter May Spell Bad News for ESPN
Actually we have been told by another reader recently that Protobuf can in fact encode raw bytes efficiently. We will update the documentation.

Look, why do you even want to use Protobuf? You can just use raw bytes... why even bother with Protobuf - when you can invent everything yourself?

It is pretty clear from the text that Protobuf itself has no way of distinguishing the end of one message and the beginning of the next. Yes, YOU can add that yourself if you want. Like you can add hundreds of other things yourself. But Protobuf doesn't have it.

And - if you really, really love Protobuf so much, let me tell you a secret: You can EASILY embed a Protobuf message inside an IAP message (an ION object field) and there you go... ION works as the message delimiter.

Regarding the "marketing vs. science" comment - We would like YOU to make a comparison of binary protocols that is perfect, solely based on online docs and no access to the core developers... not all docs are equally good, and not everything we have read (e.g.on stackoverflow etc.)seem to be correct.

We don't gain that much by "marketing" a free technology. The customers of VStack.co will be communicating with VStack.co via IAP, regardless of whether IAP catches on outside. We just thought we'd share the work with others.

Yes, we are sure you can build a lot of stuff around Protobuf, but with IAP we will build all that stuff for you.

>>You're already in college and stressing out about oweing $100k isn't productive.

This is one of the reason why as an Indian, I decided not to do my MS in the US. Though I could have. The reason is simple, you will rake up a huge loan back home in India.

Most of friends who came to US for their MS had only horror stories to tell. A loan amount too huge to pay off working a job in India, perennial stress of paying off that loan(often taken against a house/plot in India) and doing small part time jobs for food and sustenance in restaurants. Add to that a good college is beyond affordable, and a degree in By-The-Freeway college is next to useless(but still costs a lot in Indian money). After all that you will be stuck fighting a Visa system, with a multi year green card struggle.

And even after all this, while you are in your late 30's(or early 40's), you have to buy a home(and pay those loans for the remainder of your enjoyable life), worry about retirement, getting kids settled and save for health care expenses.
the reason why your comment is greyed out directly correlates with why I left the country back in Bush II.

In many cases, the manufacturer could include software that prevents the car from operating if maintenance is out of date.

There are a lot of ways the manufacturer can increase safety that might have negative consequences. For example, what happens if a manufacturer decides that all models over 10 years old are too risky? How do you separate their legitimate desire to ensure safety in their own self interest from their desire to sell more cars?

You might need to bring a lawyer when buying a car in the future.

Absolutely disengage. What's past is past.

Quintuple check the evaluation criteria and totally, ruthlessly overfocus on that. This is a test. Identify any Catch-22 early and escalate these quickly.

Then do what you can to reengage. But you will almost certainly be a redheaded stepchild. Look at it as an opportunity to reinvent yourself a bit. Chances are you have close to nothing to lose. IMO, relaxing is better than not relaxing.
