I agree here, expectations drive a huge amount of emotion. Take two people who receive a 5k bonus, if one expected twice as much they will be pissed off and ungrateful. If one expected nothing, they would probably be very happy.

This is why it is so important for companies and hiring managers to set appropriate expectations for their employees. Please do not tell people that they can expect career growth, regular challenges, and tons of opportunity if that is not the case.

People will absolutely take decent jobs with no opportunities or career growth, but you have to be honest about that. If you lie and the employee realizes it a year later, they will probably start underperforming and/or looking to leave. Appropriate expectations are paramount!

Yes, free cash flow increases the value of the company by close to that amount of cash every second the company makes more cash.

But don't take this article as investment advice. It is at or just after market tops people point out things like 'company will make its value in cash in X years' or 'it's not market timing, it's time in the market', or 'the market is cheap on a forward earnings basis' or 'when everyone is selling, it's time to buy'. Be very careful if you're thinking about investing in the stock market right now. Stay away from index funds because there's a lot of alpha in shorting the most popular stocks and buying the most hated ones, which means betting against index funds.

Do not take this as financial advise. This comment is for entertainment purposes only. Do your own research.

Not exactly a conclusive study.
They each measure the same thing, more or less, but it's easier to work analytically with squares than absolute values. Similarly, we tend to work with the variance rather than with expected absolute deviations, we calculate sums of squares rather than sums of absolute values, etc.

More fundamentally, root-mean-square is the norm induced by the expectation inner product in the space of random variables. Norms generalize the geometric notion of length, so intuitively RMS is an appropriate measure of the "stochastic distance" from the origin of a random walk after a set number of steps. RMS can likewise be used as an analogue for geometric length for other purposes in a stochastic context, e.g., in calculating the similarity dimension of fractal stochastic processes like Brownian motion.
"Alpha" in this context probably refers to opacity, the A in RGBA. GP is making a comment on the apparent translucency of the filaments that comprise the attractor.
I don't think this invalidates your argument, but your assumptions about my work choices are completely wrong. I have almost always been the youngest person at offices dominated by scientists and mathematicians. Most of my work before graduation was at a national lab in condensed matter physics. I joined my current job as the 7th hire because the team is mostly comprised of math and EE PhD's from MIT and Berkeley. I'm not working on creating "forms" that "scale". Its all data science and optimization models/machine learning and the related engineering.

At the end of the day though, the business isn't about how much you are learning and any early stage start up is going to conduct R&D based on short term returns. If I could work somewhere like Voleon, I might have greater freedom, but I don't have an advanced degree to get a foot in the door.

I agree about traveling. That is one of the only things that continues to excite me. I spent several months working remotely and plan to continue doing so once this company starts to get revenue (if ever). That's certainly one freedom working from a computer provides that most other occupations don't get to enjoy.

That being said, at the end of the day, its just work. And thats fine. Thats still better than most jobs. But this line of work has a relatively low ceiling (in terms of job satisfaction, not compensation) if you want more and I feel like sticking too it makes it only easier to accept that ceiling. Maybe this is too strong, but it almost feels like giving up and settling for something easy/cushy.

That's true. And, Apache, the databases, etc. are all challenging. But, one step at a time. NixOS is several steps ahead of what the rest of us are doing (my products run predominantly on CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, with a small number running on FreeBSD and a few other outliers).

I'm pretty excited about rust based operating system experiments, though it'll probably be 10+ years before we can start using them seriously in production (and operating system kernels have a lot of unpleasant stateful things to deal with, so likely will never be particularly pure no matter what language they're written in).

Anyway, Nix is cool stuff that I think is interesting and novel.

You're probably very close to correct on this, but it doesn't make it right nor the moral thing to do.

Also, a lot of patients end up exploited by docs and companies who sell these very expensive samples taken from patients with rare diseases. The patients don't benefit from that, but the docs and medical institutions do. So while we try to "protect" medical research for the sake of doctors, they are not only using their patients for profit but they are hindering medical research in the name of their profits.

And yes, I worked for a medical lab where I helped identify and sell patient blood and tumor samples with rare forms of blood cancers. I'm not necessarily against selling patient samples where the patient doesn't benefit, but blindly protecting doctors' claims to research data doesn't tell the whole story.

What advice would you give to someone who has a pretty well paying job in an tech company that has over hired ?

On the one hand it's harder to find better jobs as the present job is already kind of nice. On the other hand there's the uncertainty of where everything is going with regards to your long term future at the company and your career.

You can't bring up the fact that the team is bloated because you're basically telling them that you should be fired.

I'd change your qualifier from "when it's your choice" to "when it's your choice and your choice doesn't adversely affect anyone else".

Here, I think, we're talking about free software projects sending wrong or mixed messages to their users & contributors. Which is the adverse effect alluded to -- it obliges your users to use non-free software.

This may discourage some of your potential users & contributors, and that may reduce the quality of your project. And that, in turn, may be something you as someone running a free software project had not considered, and, on reflection, do not want.

Slightly perturbed you're using the word pragmatist as a synonym for someone that uses or advocates non-free software.

Arguably anyone casting an opinion is 'on their high horse', especially if it's orthogonal to your own opinion.
Wow, these bring back deep memories.

I was basically weaned on a slew of Clifford Pickover's books — first his Black Holes: A Traveller's Guide and later Mazes For The Mind, The Loom Of God, Keys To Infinity, Fractal Horizons and others.

I distinctly remember a vacation spent in Portugal... I can date it to summer 1996 because I remember the TV droning on about the campaign between Bill Clinton and Bon Dole (!) furiously typing in Pickover's BASIC code to QBASIC (or was it GWBASIC?) in DOS mode on my first laptop, a Cyrix 586 ACER thing made of cheap, slightly springy plastic. I was fascinated by those patterns. I remember how at first the code all seemed like incantations but how gradually I got a feel for what the various parts did, and the strange pride when I eventually located (and modified) the parts that actually represented the formula being iterated, which I then proceeded to modify, and I'd sit there staring at the slowly-emerging patterns.

I'd forgotten all that. Thanks for bringing it back.

I appreciate your saying that you can't accommodate bootcamp grads or junior developers yet.
I once contracted at a company where one of the salaried staff was tasked with implementing Markdown. For some reason, he actually implemented BBCode (I think with a regex he'd found online somewhere). When I tried to explain to him that BBCode and Markdown were, you know, quite different, he got angry with me and started shouting that "Markdown has no standard, so it can be anything you want!"

I left the conversation at that point because I sensed it might turn ugly (it was the afternoon, and he had a penchant for boozy lunches when his boss was out of the office).

I had this innovative idea for working with datasets - show pagination like this:

I.e. you can request larger pages right from pagination block if you think you need them.
(And on that page you will be able to downsize page or make it even larger)

But I have to admit, load-on-scrolling does make it more or less obsolete.

"Google is an artificial intelligence company."

Google has great AI people - arguably more than anywhere else - but the bulk of the company is not based on AI. I'm a former Google employee, and up until a few years ago, most of the company was very skeptical of machine learning. Many people still are. I left because my machine learning project was canceled - a manager had an older solution that didn't use machine learning, and he didn't want his pet project to be replaced (even though it had worse performance and was much harder to use), so we were canceled while about fifty lines of code away from launching. Other parts of the company may be different, but in our product area AI was a minus, not a plus.
One "if" here a "dirty bool flag" there and sooner or later your code is unmaintainable, I think OpenSource + Review prevents this kind of code.

> Yet, in investor/VC/pitch/roadshow decks, I usually see "this is how many MIT and how many Stanford grads we have"...
Trust me, it's not nearly as relevant as people think, but it must work.

VCs are risk-averse pattern matchers. Their training patterns include knowing that startups with a high percentage of MIT and Stanford grads do well. Despite the fact that correlation isn't causation, they live off of that fallacy, so they would rather invest in a bunch of MIT and Stanford grads than not.

It actually makes a lot of sense for a VC to do that. They have a huge incentive to have a lot of false negatives and avoid false positives, so it's much better for them to use criteria that will eliminate good companies than allow bad ones.
>The image recognition and natural language processing that's "just a deep learning algorithm" today would have blown the socks off anyone ten years ago

I think the concepts behind this were known 10 years ago - they improved and made it scale/we got the hardware and productized it - but would it really "blow your socks off" ? Hell I'm kind of disappointed at the development speed, I was expecting real personal assistants (not something trivial like Siri) by now.
No.

PTC is more than GPS. Much more than that:

1) which track is the train on? GPS off by a few meters 1 way or the other means a different track.

2) What are the switch settings ahead?

3) Is there a train stopped ahead?

4) Is there any obstruction ( i.e. rock fall )?

5) Are the crossing gates ahead properly functioning?

6) Are there vehicles across the crossing ahead?

7) What are the normal speed restrictions in place?

8) Are there maintenance workers ahead?

9) Are there temporary speed restrictions in place because of tracks needing repair?

10) What is the mass of the train? Heavier trains = greater stopping distance.

11) What is the track surface - leaves in the fall can create a biofilm that increases stopping distance.

12) What is the cargo - some cargo requires more gradual deceleration - bottles of wine anyone?

13) What about tunnels?

14) What about mountainous terrain with poor line of sight to GPS satellites?

15) What about signals that may interfere with a GPS fix?

16) What about going through cities with buildings and in trenches?

Expanding on a few additional points:

"Where is the train in front of this train"?

a) Its not enough to know where the locomotive is: some freight trains can be 2 miles long. So if the train in front is 2 miles ahead but is a passenger train - no problem. A freight train? Big problem.

b) Is the train ahead on a siding that the current train will not hit because the switch is thrown to transfer to another track?

"What is the allowed speed?"

a) Is the train going to take a speed restricted curve?

b) Or continuing straight at a higher speed?

c) How fast can the train decelerate - freight is slower than passenger trains.

In a car its annoying -but having a train get confused and go into an emergency stop - that is something else.

This is not a simple problem.

Then throw in all the systems that need to interact and function correctly, have good failsafes, etc.

There is a reason why trains need humans driving them!

But, by summing your post and the GP, one can easily hypothesize that the causal relation goes the other way around: sinking companies hire expensive CEOs to try and save themselves. Often that doesn't succeed, because the company was sinking for reasons deeper than poor leadership.

The real question is: do success rates improve for sinking companies that hire a expensive CEO versus those that keep their existing leadership or hire no-name CEOs?
If I'm reading N1256 right (not sure how far back it actually dates, but that's a C standard draft dated 2007), section 6.7.2.3 also explicitly allows a trailing comma in that context as well, so if such a compiler exists its makers should get with the program, so to speak.

> In both cases you describe, the company with the higher cap is the more "powerful" company though. In example one, they have a lot more control of their destiny since they have debt and not more shareholders.

The company with the higher market cap is the one that raised $10bn using equity and not debt. You could say that the company with more equity has more control of their destiny as it has less debt (equity is owned by the company shareholders, debt is owned by third parties), but this is not what you wrote.
This is probably the biggest difference. When you go to a really selective college, you're in a community that values academic achievement.

I'm at a community college right now, doing gen-eds, and I absolutely dread all group work because the vast majority of my classmates are a) completely unprepared for the class or b) completely indifferent to actually working. Some of it is immaturity, but a lot of it is the fact that kids at a community college tend to be lower-caliber students. There are some who are doing the exact same thing as me - saving money, saving the commute - but they're outnumbered by the "Welp, I couldn't get into Yale, but Mommy and Daddy want me to go to college, so here I am."

As a result, I'm a try-hard in classes that I'm paying for. I mostly grin and bear it, as I'm saving several thousand dollars per year by taking gen-eds at the CC, but there are times that I think, "You know, if I were in class with people who actually gave a shit, I'd probably get more out of it."
