College degree matters way more than people like to admit. It matters in tech. If you get hired at google out of CMU, you are going to work in a better group with higher salary than a state school grad. Most elite finance jobs require a top degree, as do consulting, and business development/strategy groups at large companies. Any sort of investing job requires a good pedigree. Such a myth to pretend otherwise. Ofcourse there are outliers, but by and large top jobs go to top degrees, regardless of who is better than who.

I should make it clear im talking about jobs that pay 300k+. Below that and it isnt a highly selective enough for top pedigree to be such a huge deal.
I don't think it is a lie I think it is poor wording.

He mentions it is aimed at dev teams to easily allocate resources. I think the packages are you pay for a certain amount of RAM (i.e. 1GB, 12 GB, 100 GB, etc) and you can divide that on to an unlimited number of servers.

So lets say I have a team of 6 people and I buy the 12 GB I can create 12 1GB servers, or I can create 6 2GB servers, or I can create 4 2GB servers and 3 1GB servers.

If I have a team of 10 and I buy the "customize anyway plan" I could have instances that were 1GB, some that were 4GB and others that were 2GB.

You buy the resources but can divvy it up into other instances that make sense for your team (at least that is what I gather).
seriously. talk about herd mentality.

As a non Citizen, can you propose a law or vote on them? Cause as much as I value your opinion, you don't speak for Swiss if you're not a Citizen. Most form of socialism is generally problematic for external capital, which seems to be the business you're in, having a company in another country. So it's really unsurprising to me to hear you critique this.

Though, external capital is actually a good point to consider. Whatever social program I think a country decides to adopt, it need to consider a structure where it will remain attractive for capital investment. So as long as there is still a win/win situation between investor and the country's Citizens, I think it's fine, but if that's broken, like in full communism, it's generally a bad outcome for the long term prospect of a country.
Don't believe this line of crap. Employment is a popularity contest. You need to be popular to climb the ladder. Literally turning your back on the room and refusing to go to meetings makes you unpopular. It's true that your popularity among your superiors is the most important popularity, but popularity among your peers is also important; if you can't get the respect of your subordinates you won't be an effective manager. People will work to undercut you. In 99% of cases, you won't get their respect if they think you don't like them.

In aggregate, peoples' behaviors are very predictable. Before every action, ask if this kind of thing would endear a toddler to you or not. If it would, it's a good thing to do. If it wouldn't, it's going to be an uphill battle and you'll have to do many toddler-approved things to undo the damage.

This is why you should bring donuts for the office every week; toddlers love getting edible treats, and so do grownups. Make sure everyone knows you're the one who brought them, without looking like you're making sure everyone knows that you're the one who brought them. This will make people like you more.

Turn your desk around and start going to all their meetings. Say supportive and encouraging things. Make irrelevant broad, philosophical statements, literally stuff you'd find on motivation posters. You'll get popular fast.

If you care about your career, you must realize that your actual job is only ~20% of what you're paid for. You're really paid to be likeable and charming, someone that everyone wants to keep around the office. Do whatever you have to do to keep your code limping along and then put the rest of your energy into becoming popular. You'll be promoted and tasked to hire a version of yourself that hasn't learned these lessons yet, and the cycle will continue.
Keep up the tests until you have ten or twenty nines of certainty. I'd call that proof.
"Cube Farm"
"Insanity is an inability to come to terms with reality. Don Quixote was definitely insane, because he couldn't come to terms. But there was a reason: the reality in which Don Quixote lived was a sordid and ugly reality … Don Quixote didn't want that. He wanted to live in a world where there was truth, and human dignity, and, yes, love.… Instead of giving up on it, he imposed his reality onto the real world. Where other people saw a filthy country hostel, he saw a castle! Where other people saw a flock of sheep, he saw a mighty army! Where other people saw a windmill, he saw a dragon. Yes, Don Quixote was a crazy old fool. But, you know, he was more honest about his dream than most people, and for that, I honor him.”

>all just running on a treadmill as far as I can tell.

Unfortunately, people lose their minds when some company announces layoffs, like some purposeful social harm is being done, yet somehow when a company is having massive hiring no one really questions how much of that is valid or sustainable. People become like you describe; they master the do nothing job via office cult cargoism. It must be exhausting to have a 'fake' job like this and knowing damn well that if you lose this job you may have nowhere to go.

I think 100 years from now our great grandkids will be living in an automation utopia and look at our daily work lives as something just a harrowing as any story from Kafka. There's a lot of craziness we let slide because we've convinced ourselves total employment is one of the main moral goals of a capitalistic society. Its probably not sustainable in later stages capitalism.

In my lifetime I expect to see GMI deployments in various nations as automation keeps eating the world. I have yet to be convinced that the status quo can be maintained and the cracks on the facade are already showing. Later stages capitalism is a totally different beast than early stages. This is all new ground.

Not too long ago this sounded like crazy sci-fi talk to me, but now that I'm in a partial management position I've been involved with hirings/firings and all sorts of staffing and productivity issues, this has shown me that employment in general is something of an illusion. I'd say 80% of the work/value done here is by 30 or 40% of the staff, maybe 20% if we're being really tough. A lot of hiring, if not most, is vanity hiring by VP's who want more people under them for status and budget reasons. This isn't some rational engine at work here. Its its own kind of bubble and as we saw in the 2008 mortgage crisis, it gets deflated pretty easily when money stops coming in. (5% to 10% unemployment in 12 months 2008-2009).
Italic  tag is too much emphasis? Try this
My first companies were all services companies so they immediately generated reveneu and were thus easily bootstrapped. I believe it was easier begin 90s to 2000s to do that though. With that money and also during that period I started building products: a dating site, a CMS, a freehosting OS and large freehoster, a POS for grand cafe's and some niche LOB dev products. I sold all of those after running them for a while; in the end they were all very profitable and fun because of the diversity. The company formed around the CMS grew to 300 people in the high times. That I did not like at all so I quit as CTO and opened the R&D dep of that company with 2 colleagues.

Currently I'm working on the hardware and software for a smart credit card while I have a services company to offload work to and do work for other clients.

Services still work well as bootstrap; first do some freelance work in a client office, start discussing working from home when the trust has been built, start suggesting to get more people on board when it gets busy. Before you know it you have a small team and you can start cloning that process until you have enough portfolio to do less intensive sales. You will never run losses: quite the opposite. When your team takes over enough you can work on side projects if you want to.
Makes total sense. Let's say I have an open source project, how do I create a FREE irc channel for my users and what server to I choose to host it on?

You don't need a "broad product strategy" to do your job well. Unfortunately, many products coming out of Yahoo are shitty; and this should be fixed regardless of who's on top. Whatever you're working on, make sure it's first-class.

15%? That's all?
(Yahoo stockholder here.)
That's the thing though, the 10% number is fuzzy. I agree there's definitely a productivity boost from having a private office, but it's hard to quantify. The smaller square footage and lower lease payments are easy to quantify. If productivity expectations are set based an open office, then the increase with the more expensive private offices is unknown.

Additionally, high overhead increases risk. Maximum productivity is only important as long as you have more work than there are employees to do it. What if there's a downturn (as in 2008)? Now you're locked into an expensive lease and no longer have the revenue to support it. The company with lower overhead can hold out longer until things turn around. Employees can be laid off. Getting out of a lease or selling a building are harder.

I have a pretty crummy education but I feel like it's really forced me to have a lot more drive in my career and as such I've been more successful (so far) than a lot of people I grew up with who went to much better schools.

I don't know if that's my personality or my past that's doing that though, perhaps if I went to a prestigious school I would be the same way and would be much more successful.
Yeah, haha. Really funny that all those people lost their jobs. Great stuff.
Reportedly, the P.T.C. system had already been scheduled for a 2015 installation. This accident is likely speeding up the installation on other tracks, but I'm not certain that the Northeast Corridor really got this upgrade much faster simply because of this accident.

Rules for Rithmomachy
Subjective virtue, perhaps. And that gets us squarely into the territory of "religion".

I'm struggling to think of a time when it's ever a good idea to cast pragmatism aside.
p not being prime means it has not been generated using a standard tool like OpenSSL.

It's therefore likely it's been handcrafted for nefarious purposes, opening the possibility of further shenanigans.

Another possibility would be the use of a buggy generator, or a clueless dev using random bits rather than a large prime.
I'm not following all of the theory involved, but this makes me wonder if the "firewall" is just an effect of the scale on which they're measuring positions.

Chess engines evaluate a large range of positions as having value 0.00. In fact, an omniscient chess engine would evaluate every position as either having value 0.00 or as being "mate in N" (where N could be unreasonably large).

So maybe the blunders from positive positions are smaller because, as evaluated by a sufficiently strong chess engine, they mostly drop you from +(small number) to 0.
it's almost certainly better than embalming, and the energy cremation uses is in readier supply than the land traditional burial uses, so i'd guess it's a net win over most methods. "green burial" would be better, but it's not common.

Richard Yates' Revolutionary Road is an excellent exploration of a couple with aspirations that don't match reality and/or their willingness to work to achieve what they want.

Alibaba's market cap is $174B. Yahoo owns 24% of their stock. That's $41B of wealth right there. That's actually more than their own market cap, which is $28B!

It's totally up to the individual, but if you can't contact your users directly, then I'd start by putting the shut down notice on your page with probably 3 months notice, as well as a warning that there will be a 24-72 hour outage in 30 days time, and another one in 2 months that would be closer to a week long. The outage should be long enough to cause major problems for people relying on it. The emails will come flooding in, turn the service back on, notify the users that contacted you, and they now have X months notice to get it fixed up.
At least that way you can feel good that you put an honest effort into trying to notify your users. An update with two weeks notice on your website that the developers have long since forgotten just doesn't cut it.
> Exactly 0 of those things are required to interact on IRC.

This entire thread has been about whether IRC can offer a competitive experience to services like Slack, Gitter, etc. I don't think anyone is arguing that you cannot use IRC at all without tools but even you were just saying (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11013780) that you need the money and skills to run a server to have a first-class experience.
