As of 2013, the median earnings for full time workers 25-32 with just a high school diploma was $28,000 and they had a 12.2% unemployment rate. For those with a bachelor's degree, it was $45,500 and the unemployment rate was 3.8%. Those are medians, not averages. Things are only getting worse for high school diploma holders.

It's all well and good to be pissed off at rent seeking credential granting institutions and the employers that lazily rely on them, but that's no excuse for repeating false information that only leads kids astray.

Agreed. I've put out a lot of fires in badly-written Ruby code, and at least 2 in badly-written Python code, but I couldn't stand working 8 hours a day with either of those languages.

So while my knowing them is definitely valuable, I need some way to convey, "hey I know Ruby, but no I don't like Ruby and I wouldn't accept a position that was primarily Ruby." ("Favorite" isn't a good word for that, but that's the intent I'm needing to convey.)
I tend to root my Android devices so that I can install XPrivacy, which gives me very fine-grained access controls for apps. An alternative approach that I have also used for some devices is to install Cyanogenmod, which often comes bundled with PrivacyGuard that also provides fine-grained access controls.

Ask HN: Help me design a personal project
I am thinking to start working on a project which in future would become a product (hopefully). I want to take it as opportunity to learn what modern programming era has been shifted to. As of now, All i know is Java based web apps, with old school Business Layer (EJB)/JSP front end. Not to mention, the front end isn't optimized for different platforms and if I have to create web apps out of this then its an other story for me.

So how should i design the app which

1. Will have a Web Client for Administrators and for users
2. Should provide user access on iOS/Android

I was looking at different technologies and I am so confused. There is Angular JS, ROR, DJango, IonicFramework and so many more ... So if i ask you to design a modern web-app for browser and cell phones,

1. How many tiers you would have
2. What framework/would you use at what tier
3. What architecture you would use. I mean there was SOA back in the time and now there is a new buzz word (micro-services). How would you decouple server with front end so that same functionality could be used on client brwoser and native mobile apps.

Any help is appreciated.
I bought my last car (£6,000) with a debit card. I guess, once it was approved by my bank that was it. I gave them my address details so that they could update the DVLA (Government agency that deals with cars) so that I became the registered owner of the vehicle.

I think that was it.

I obviously don't know the specifics of the dropbox option pool, but it's not uncommon to have employee options issued at a 409(a) valuation instead of the fundraising valuation.

So even if money was raised at a 10bn valuation based on the expectation of future value, a 409(a) valuation would probably place the company at somewhere closer to 10-40% of that, which puts employees in a much better situation.

Very true. And even in long, professional play its not uncommon to see GM's play highly tactical, but unsound openings if they think the other player doesn't know how to beat it. E.g.

1. A promise of equity is a red flag. A professional startup puts this in writing. If things don’t work out, that’s what vesting is for.

2. Wearing all the hats and the only technical hat initially puts you a lot closer to founder status.

3. “landing projects” doesn’t sound like a startup, sounds like a consultancy. Taking reduced market salary here for equity doesn’t seem right, the equity will never likely payoff to justify it.

Step 1. Interview at big companies. Figure out how much you could earn (total comp: salary, bonus, and guaranteed equity). Also to get a BATNA.

Step 2. Value the startup. Account for professional investors, market size, likelihood of success, etc. Don't just go off what the founders tell you. Look at comparable startups and their exits.

Step 3. Figure out how much the money you gave up is worth. Multiply it by 4 (last year plus the next 3) then figure out the percent of the company. Would also probably double it for the risk you are taking. (Note: You should immediately vest the prior year and have no cliff for the three remaining).

Step 4. Negotiate from a higher starting point (I’m a sucker for putting out what I think is fair and having it cut). Be ready to walk with your BATNA. 5-10 percent might not be unreasonable with what you are bringing to the table, especially if this is more of a lifestyle business than a professionally backed startup.

Good luck and don't be afraid to move.
From the title, I was expecting this to be about navigation and map-reading, more than these classic spatial rotation problems. I'm not sure what it is, but I've certainly noticed that my mother, my sister, my aunts, all of my girlfriends, virtually everyone I've ever taken a roadtrip with with double X chromosomes, have struggled mightily with what I'll call "locational awareness" - tracking where they are vs where they have been vs where they are trying to go. Some of these have been brilliant people, but their brains just don't seem to work that way.

I don't know if the ubiquity of GPS is helping or hurting this phenomenon.
Not quite sure what this quote is implying? That the government should take over VC, or that by solving income inequality, customer acquisition would be cheaper.

With regards to the second point, as long as as potential outcome of the VC method can bring about some EV of $1B, then there will be someone willing to spend $999M to capture that market.
It should be suitable - but whether it is depends also on your memory usage. GCs are not black boxes which magically work or not work. They do get bad reputation by people who do heap allocations without thinking about them.
They key to good GC performance is about the allocation profile. GO gives you very good control about heap allocation, so it should be possible to arrange the main game loop such that no fresh heap is allocated, which also would mean that the GC does not run. The GO GC runs when, the allocated heap grow to a set multiple (by default 2x) of the heap size after the last GC run. Adjusting this factor to your memory usage should give you pretty good control when the GC runs and when not.

> The point is that money laundering is already illegal, everyone who's doing it is already breaking the law.

No.

Knowingly laundering money is illegal, being used to launder money unknowingly is not.

For example if a money launderer buys your property with cash (car, house, painting) and then goes ahead and resells that property later to clean money, by your logic the seller would also be laundering, which is obviously absurd.

With this law the seller has the responsibility not to accept cash over a certain amount, which makes the launderer's life more difficult.

Most people who take part in money laundering do so unknowingly. The law provides a better paper trail to detect laundering.

> A law that makes it easier to indict criminals at the expense of making legitimate acts illegal is fundamentally at odds with the physical underpinnings that give us the "innocent until proven guilty" doctrine.

That's circular logic. You claim something is a "legitimate act" but all illegal things were at one time legitimate acts: drinking & driving, guns on aircraft, drug usage, all computing crime, all financial crime, etc.

You can use that exact sentence and the logic held within to argue that all new laws of any nature violate "innocent until proven guilty" because inherently before the law was passed these were "legitimate acts."
> Not necessarily open-source but would be nice if it is.

I've never done it, but id assume the effort to do a rewrite would be tremendous.
Facebook's backend is, to my knowledge, largely C++, connected via Thrift. The frontend started out as PHP, eventually got compiled to C++ via HipHop, replaced HipHop with HHVM, and then added support for Hack. My understanding is that they're gradually adding more React to it as well. FB also includes a number of specialized services, eg. Chat & Whatsapp are written in Erlang.

Google as written by Larry Page was done in Java. It was rewritten in Python by Scott Hassan before the company was incorporated. As of 1999, the webserver and crawler were still in Python. It was almost completely rewritten (multiple times) in C++ shortly thereafter for efficiency. Most of the Google Apps (GMail, Docs, Plus, etc.) are written in Java. The webserver for Search shifted over to a combination of Java and two different DSLs in 2010; I worked on the implementation of this. My comment is lightly paraphrased from a remark Larry Page gave when asked why Google doesn't adopt more modern programming frameworks like Rails or Node (it was in 2011, when both of these were still state-of-the-art).

Hi hsshah, we talk about some benchmarking we did in our technical paper (page 10, "Experiments") http://www.snappydata.io/snappy-industrial. This is not a real-life scale deployment, but may be useful.
Especially pleased with their focus on accessibility.
At first I thought tests would cover this, but it would be pretty cool to compare performance across different gems. Unfortunately you can't really use two versions of the same gem in the same runtime, so you'll probably go back to other benchmarking methods.

> Is this anything more than a puff piece

Yes it is. It is also an example of journalism where the writer gets paid by the word, hence the tedium of the 'vignette'.

In the UK we don't have 'paid by the word' in quite the same way, so you rarely have to wade through rubbish to get to the gist of the article on a UK website. It is a U.S. phenomenon having the fluff-bloat at the start of the article, and, to be honest, it puts me off reading anything linked here from the likes of the New York Times. I just cannot stand this writing style with the extra 'vignette' or whatever padding out the article into some narrative that I cannot be bothered with.
For my uses, DropBox is the best solution by far out of all of those.
The quote from the comparison page linked to above reads:

> The fact that Protobuf is not self describing makes it unsuitable as a network protocol message format

Which is demonstrably untrue, as many companies (Google being the obvious example) have built huge networks on nothing but protobufs. It also is very close to saying that protobufs cannot be used for network applications.

Some people have successfully bought cars just to rent out via Turo (formerly RelayRides). It's not hard to make well over the monthly payment if you live near a major airport. Most insurers don't like this though and I wouldn't be surprised by an Airbnb-esque crackdown in the coming years. Until then though, it's the good times.
Small business are on their knees. They are just surviving and living paycheck by paycheck. They sell whatever they get access too. Their profits are worth nothing in dollars (if they manage to have profits). An inflation projected to be 700% this year makes it extremely hard to survive, you need to adjust your prices every hour.

The dead giveaway that it is a puff piece written by a PR firm, and then only lightly edited to preserve the pretense of journalism being involved, is when the piece describes the executives in glowing, hagiographic terms.

The marketing team has the piece written glorifying the CEO, which in turn leads to more budget and promotions for the marketing team. The PR firm places the piece everywhere, which leads to more PR briefs. And the "reporters" are starving in a dying industry, so they'll do anything for a crust of bread and the odd review item they can keep.

99% of the income is affiliate links. I have adsense on there, but haven't really made any money on it.

As far as traffic goes, I kind of got lucky. I had an old Tumblr Blog with a domain name years ago. Tumblr used to have this program where a few people were curators for each category. This lead to a ton of followers and reblogs. They shut that program down and I've since stopped working on that blog, so I forward the domain to this new site. Still gets traffic daily.

The reason there are so many Amish in the US is that they emigrated from Europe.

I think there are more Mennonites in Germany than Amish (not sure what the two groups think of each other) but even they are a tiny minority.

The two biggest politically organized religious groups in Germany are the Catholic church and the Evangelical church (which is a union of various Protestant churches, mostly Lutheran). Then there's Greek and Russian Orthodox Christians who exist but barely ever make the news. There's also the Jewish Council but Jews in Germany are a minority (for obvious historical reasons) -- though they do get a significant amount of attention (again, for obvious historical reasons).

There is no Muslim church because there are too many different groups (and despite what some people will tell you about Europe, not enough of them in any one group or coalition of compatible groups).

There are various other sects of Christianity and other religions but most of them are tiny and not taken particularly seriously. Most Christians I've met think of groups like the Jehovah's Witnesses, LDS or Mennonites as eccentric but non-threatening cults. Then again, I haven't yet anyone in Germany who considers Scientology a religion by any standard (which it seems to be recognized as in the US).

Germans as a whole tend to be opposed to electronic currency, though. Credit cards are practically useless in everyday life (except for hotels and expensive restaurants). Most places take debit cards instead but it's generally a better idea to ask because many places only take cash.

Additionally €2 and €1 are coins not paper and most vending or ticket machines only take coins, so Germans are used to carrying around coins (and having a €1 coin handy because you need them for shopping carts). American style cards+clip wallets are basically unusable for most Germans.

However things seem to be changing thanks to e-commerce (Amazon and eBay pretty much started it) and most people are extremely uncomfortable carrying around large (i.e. €500 and up) sums of money in cash.

Besides, "exporting" large amounts of cash (€5000 and up, I think) out of the country without notifying the authorities in advance is illegal even across EU borders and Europe is considerably smaller than the US and has more national borders (obviously).

OTOH we don't use checks. Like, at all. And using debit cards means electronic charging with chip and pin, not any of this "make an imprint of the front on paper" nonsense.
Well you should focus on putting the stuff that's most relevant first, either by editing your "standard" resume or (if you want it to strictly be date-ordered) by including a cover letter that contains that information.

No offense, but I think it's common-sense that people will start reading from the beginning of the document, and a really popular company like Google is going to have at least hundreds of resumes to scan.
