The thing is that I'm only telling what the solution isn't. Solution might be, to ask the people doing the actual work the right questions. But if that is not happening or if no one is listening to the answers, the solution is for an individual to change company. Because in my experience when the shift to wrong type of management happens, it seldomly fixes itself. And as a lowly peon you can't influence enough to change a culture that isn't a good fit for yourself.

I.e. the company is ruined if you think it is. There are no solutions, you are doing the company and yourself a disservice by staying.
First of all, I'm not so much interested in raw salary as I am with net worth. If Sociologist Jane at 45 years old makes $50K, and pays $10K in loans each year, is she better off than Plumber Joe who makes $35K a year, owns his house, and earns $10K in dividends. How bout 20 years later?

Your statistics are also assuming that it is the college degree itself that is producing the difference in income, and not the individual.

As politically incorrect as it is to say, a good portion of the non-bachelor degree population would not earn much anyway - 'urban' with minimal basic education, immigrants without language skills, low IQ, disabled, etc.

Find me a study based on IQ - one in which similarly intelligent persons are matched on income (not salary) at varying ages, and I'm guessing that in the future, many in the middle IQ range will not benefit from their liberal arts degree.

It was a leak of truthful information. Almost by definition it reduced misunderstanding. I'd also argue that it didn't increase paranoia; it massively reduced the number of people who were classified as paranoid by confirming some of their darkest fears.

I may be in the minority but I actually prefer that they are two different layers. Keeps my compression (and DoS) cores separate from my encryption cores and gives me two different levers to pull for scalability. HAproxy is so good at what it does and Varnish is so good at what it does that while there is some overlap (e.g. request/response rewriting) I can't help but think that any attempt to merge the two feature-sets would result in something vastly inferior.
I've also done the removable cable mod[1] on one of my pairs and it works great. I use them for both listening and gaming now because I can attach a cable with a boom mic on it, or I can switch it out for the stock cable for listening normally, or even a short cable for the rest of the time.

Diet soda causes insulin resistance, dental erosion, and I believe acid reflux. Just something to consider when weighing the pros/cons.

http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/32/4/688.full

http://www.colgate.com/en/us/oc/oral-health/basics/nutrition...

A better alternative, though still exacerbates acid reflux I believe, is flavored club soda like la croix. After about a week of drinking it, lime la croix tastes like sprite. Then if you have a real sprite you'll gag. Plus it gives you an excuse to act all fancy.

I should probably add that the difference between diet soda and flavored club soda are the flavoring agents.

With la croix, "The flavors are derived from the natural essence oils extracted from the named fruit used in each of our LaCroix flavors. There are no sugars or artificial ingredients contained in, nor added to, these extracted flavors."

However I suspect drinking carbonated beverages in general is worse for you than straight water, of course.

I think only the shells of the superconducting coils are cooled to those temperatures. The rest of the system, including the containment walls, are water-cooled.

In a real system you would also have neutron radiation carrying away energy that could be captured with additional layers of water.
If that were true, you'd expect competitive pressure to push the interest rates down to 1% or lower. Do you claim that the banks are colluding (think "The Informant") to rip students off?

The problem is that Dropbox isn't that complicated. They were able to win in the beginning because they were a novel idea. Now that they have proven the business model, it will invite competitors (which has already happened).

It would have been better to cash out. Unless they truly have something proprietary with a higher barrier to entry, it will be a difficult road ahead.

> Well it isn't.

Yes, it is. Or, at least, if not, not for the first reason you present.

> Officially it is a republic. A democratic one, but a republic.

A democratic republic is still a democracy (usually, a representative democracy, but since any political system which isn't a monarchy can be correctly called a "republic", a direct democracy could also be a democratic republic.)

The idea that "democracy" and "republic" are mutually exclusive categories is quite wrong.

> Unofficially political power is so unevenly distributed it should be called an oligarchy.

And so connected to wealth that it should be called plutocracy, according to some, sure.

I know of departments in some of the investment banks that are essentially CS R&D. There are some hedge funds (HFT and otherwise) that are basically playgrounds for PhD.

Of course, in both cases, your work is ultimately directed by revenue, the shield I'm talking about is more against the tight, client/user responsive iterative process of most modern software development which can make it difficult to carve out the time and space to work on something deeper.

Also, I'm not convinced academia is much of a panacea here: I hear there is a nontrivial number of years of pretty severe drudgery before you arrive in the sort of position with a lot of freedom to work on whatever you like.
I do think some of their headphones are best in class - Not the greatest value for money though. Their QC line have the best noise cancelling, and if that's the most important criteria they are the ones I recommend to people. (Personally I use Sennheiser for my ANC cans as the sound is better and noise cancelling is not too far off).

Their sports in-ears are great also - I've never found any in-ear headphone that beats the MIE2 in comfort and not falling out, and the sound isn't bad either.

In a discussion about the legitimacy of the government's pursuit of Snowden you point out that it has a very reasonable interest in parts (a) and (b).

But if recent whistleblower prosecutions are a guide, it quite obviously has a strong interest in part (c) -- to scare the living daylights out of anyone in their ranks who might even think of crossing them through whistleblowing.

You would agree that Snowden's ability to inspire future whistleblowers is a powerful way in which he isn't harmless to the USG? You might sincerely disagree with those who believe that this motive for getting him is at least as strong as the others. But this motive cuts into the legitimacy of the pursuit, and it should be part of your survey of the government's interests.

Cool product. From a design perspective I really love the website, you've done extremely well. Just a small note I believe the typography could be improved by implementing more headers.
I only tried Parse for one prototype two years back, but I take it I'm the target audience.

Your point is probably valid if you identify as a backend web dev, but different people have different priorities. I'm personally a product designer first and a developer second. Sure, I can set up and deploy a simple backend, but I don't enjoy it and I have no interest in learning the complexities of scaling it. Any time that I have to spend dealing with data persistence or managing a server is time spent outside of where my attention naturally rests.

Compare to a developer spending days tweaking the shadows and padding and colors and fonts of a UI component. It's "easy" to do, and it's important enough that (given the choice) many people wouldn't use an app which paid no attention to that level of detail, but it's likely time spent away from what they really want to be working on and to which they can best contribute. So just drop in Bootstrap and maybe later get a visual designer to help swap it out.

That's how I feel about backend services. Use a backend service until the app outgrows it, then---if that point is reached---it might be established enough to have someone focused on that problem swap the BaaS out for a custom backend. You have to be careful to keep your code sensibly decoupled and organized...but that's a good practice anyway (and is also the defense against your very relevant worry about the service shutting down). In fact, the app I'm working on now is at a point where, after a year, we are replacing the firebase backend with our own solution.

Basically, BaaS's can be a good crutch for some people---especially small, product design focused teams---because they remove complexity. Just like Bootstrap or Material UI can be a good crutch for small, data management focused teams. It removes complexity. Even if the complexity in each case doesn't seem to be high, every little thing to worry about adds up, and it's good to have the option of making tradeoffs.

Great article, nice and short, and to the point. This is not news to diet and exercise enthusiasts, however, but it is always nice to see supporting evidence. Strength training, combined with a high-protein diet, is ideal for maintaining or increasing muscle mass even in caloric deficit. Compound exercises, like squats, deadlifts, benchpress, etc, involve greater whole-body muscle recruitment and are more effective than accessory exercises like bicep curls. It is likely, however, that the 3 pounds of muscle gained was attainable because of the relatively untrained status of the participants and their high body fat percentage (article mentions approximately 24% average body fat percentage for the participants). Leaner, more well-trained individuals, have a harder time packing on muscle when in caloric deficit.
While diet soda doesn't have any calories, I have noticed that cutting it out of my diet has had a significant effect on my appetite.
Looks like the author put himself in the spotlight by whining, and a quick look at his articles shows that he's constantly complaining about every product he has. He's be a nightmare to have as a customer.
(Not the one who downvoted you). Why do people always mention carbs this days ? Is it the new trend after the no-fat diet ? I just don't get it, carbs have always been a major part of meals since medieval times and it's clearly a part of a normal alimentation, if you put everything in moderation, I don't see really the problem, I just don't get it.
This is for entertainment value only.

I disagree. The charts you linked to are quite interesting and go much deeper. They're also harder to parse, both visually and conceptually.

But (for the unacquainted) the original chart tells you right away -- bang! -- how the main linguistic groups in Europe relate to each other, to a first-order approximation (give or take a few regrettable omissions).

Keep in mind that many people are still very ignorant of even the basic overlaps between these families (like that English and German are actually quite close, for example). And this has a lot to with why they think that learning another language (as an adult) is much more difficult than it really is.

AT M50x, M40x is another solid choice for around $150.
I have the inner ear version, and the noise canceling is ridiculously good. $300 was hard to swallow for the sound quality, but you're paying for the NC.
On the other hand, another person lost 5 (or 10) cents.

The react format is not original. It predates FineBros by some years. Even the name being "X reacts to y" predates FineBros. It could not be more unoriginal.

The description says that he slept while wearing the headphones so I suppose damage should not be that surprising. Since when 40k YouTube videos became the gold standard for anything?

I was one of the group which said Bose are overpriced but my work has open office layout and it gets really loud. Manager agreed to expense the noise canceling headphone and I must say QC25 are great noise canceling/dampening and VERY comfortable and light. Earlier I could not keep headphones on for longer hours but I have no issues with QC. Also they work great on the planes.
I've been wearing mine for 5 hours (since I got up) without noticing them at all.
Sometimes being cheap and poor is expensive: more expensive sound equipment is more durable.

I also used to also buy new headphones (with about the same budget) every 6 to 12 months, usually with the cable breaking somewhere near the connector. I had similar buying criteria as you, but just to test a hypothesis, I spent a weekend researching what to buy and arrived at the MDR7506 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000AJIF4E for many times my usual budget. However, they've lasted for 2 years of being shoved in a bag or pocket many times a day and running to lectures, and still show no signs of wear, so they've almost paid for themselves in dollars per day even if they didn't sound better than a $20 pair which, of course, they also do. Highly recommended.

The saying is that no one on their death bed wishes they had spent more time at work, but there's always a counterexample.
I wish they had more choice regarding purchasing more space. I'm not interested in 1TB and find 10$ per month too much if I wont even use 10% of it. Although if there is a cloud provider I'd trust that sync would never fuck up, I'd be Dropbox.

Google Drive still thinks it's normal to re-download the cloud folder instead of letting me install Drive in the same location after a system reinstall, where all the files already exist. And to trust them 1TB with that behaviour ? Hahaha.
Yeah, that's a trivially abused weakness. If you DMCA something, and the takedown-ee contests it, YouTube automatically shares the contact information of both parties. In effect: "We wash our hands of this, settle it amongst yourselves".
Because carbs affect insulin. When your insulin is high, you store fat. When your insulin is low, you burn fat. It's that simple. Combine that with the fact we in the western world overconsume carbs because they're cheap and addictive and you get your answer.
