I had a similar setup (though not a fancy title) for around $40k/yr if I worked full time for the whole year (I only did part time during spring/fall semesters). There was a gentleman's understanding that if the company got acquired for big bucks, I'd be taken care of, but we never formalized a stock option agreement. Eventually we shut down, but I was on my last couple semesters of college and had enough saved up that I wouldn't need to be concerned about funds until around 4 months after graduation. Got a BigCo job after graduating, making over 3 times the former amount while doing less interesting (and less intense) work. I could go back to a "low" salary job ("low" considering almost everyone I knew from high school is making $40k or less) especially if the work was nicer since my expenses have only gone up a bit, but now I'd rather build up a decades-sized nest egg first (and in less than a decade of time) even at the cost of my soul.
I guess I assumed they weren't impressed with this statement "I'm not sure the SE is going to push me over the edge just yet"

If the SE doesn't push you over the edge from an iPhone 4, then I don't know what will... iPhone 28?

Apparently the job title of HORNY in New York gets you a $420,000 salary and an interesting signing bonus.
SpaceX has also had a lot of stuff blow up. That's fine with a rocket, but it's a company killer with a new plane.
Are those not going to be marked depecrated and broken in swift 3?
Hardly. Atlanta, NYC, Chicago, Seattle, etc are all much bigger than RTP. It's nice here, but it ain't that good.
Puffin Browser integrates with dropbox. It also has a "mouse mode" that lets you drag / drop / flash (if you need it).
In Swift 2.2 they're going to add warnings but they won't break previous versions of source (yet).

In Swift 3.0 they'll remove the deprecated syntaxes.
Haha, your profile here is intriguing, you can shoot me an email introducing yourself and I'll certainly reply, if nothing else to congratulate you on getting to work on such cool applications.
I am the creator of this app. I made this as a fun side project during grad school, but kept working on it as my friends or I needed more features. Over time it has become fairly popular and now I am thinking of making a traditional desktop software as well.

The main reason I built this was that existing tools (including G3Data) were either tedious, did not have any sub-pixel level accuracy or were limited to simple XY plots only. I took a very simple web based approach as it was easier for me and I could get this to work on virtually any computer in the lab that had a browser and internet.
Fully agree with you on the kale salad thing. It's delicious, don't get me wrong, and eating more kale and less burgers will contribute to a reduction in cattle rearing, reduction in methane gas / deforestation.

My main point is it needs to be a national conversation, one the government is involved in.
That's why this sort of thing needs to be localized-- not just to a company, but to a specific office even.
Which takes me to a google search page with the article as the top link, and when I click it I still get the paywall. Something I'm missing?
Alcohol often kills people other than the drinkers.
Well apart from a minority that don't.
Early adopters are equally important as a majority though. Lest you forget that developers account for what really makes the iOS platform profitable and bloom - the app ecosystem -- and Apple requires Mac/MBP/MBA to develop for it.

Look at the Windows Phone. Fine device by all accounts, but it's biggest gripe from potential users is the app ecosystem -- or lack thereof. Take care of early adopters and take care of the people who keep your mini-economy running. It is short-sighted of them to fall flat in this arena. Arguably though, they've not been doing anything terribly impressive for quite some time by way of product.
Not being able to install or edit my own extensions without Mozilla's approval is not a light increment in control. It crosses a very distinct line.
I've known test pilots who have flown supersonic routes over continental USA at high altitude and had zero complaints. The boom intensity depends on weather conditions. Other times they did get complaints because the boom sounded like gunshots and got reported to the police.

Cruising above 60000 ft the boom from a larger aircraft might be noticed but not be objectionably loud.
Aww, I like Datastore.

But, there's no requirement that you use Datastore. The point of App Engine is that it's "you just give us code, we run it for you". With Managed VMs (built on top of Compute Engine) we're able to offer that programming model with a more flexible environment.

As someone mentioned elsewhere, there's even "just hand us a random docker container". We've had people run ffmpeg because you can just hook up App Engine's request/response and autoscaling to an arbitrary thing, and you've got an autoscaling web service.

tl;dr: Don't get hung up on the old "extreme weirdness of App Engine", this is different.

Do you remember the day when this IRC event took place or what nick you used? I have the logs, and would like to look into this. Also, when you say "staff member", do you mean Google's staff?

The reason I'm asking is that I've been active in the GAE IRC channel for 6 years and I don't remember anything like this ever happening. I do remember a few cases where people have come with similar problems complaining that their free quota ran out and then regular people telling them that they need to start paying to use the service further.

There really hasn't been an active Googler in the GAE IRC channel for many years, so that fact makes all of this particularly fishy.
TBH we really don't want to lock people out. I was disappointed that I never got to fly Concorde, not even once, and we want to open this to everyone (eventually make it routine).
The pen is a big attraction to a lot of people. I've used one of those passive capacitive pens (the ones with foam on the end) with my Android tablet and my old iPad before that. It it was OK enough to whet my appetite for taking hand-written notes and stuff on a tablet, but the input lag really torpedoes the experience. If the active Apple pen is as nice as I've heard then that's a pretty attractive feature for me.

Not enough to justify the iPad Pro markup alone IMO, but it's definitely something major that makes me want one.
IIRC they also had a special microphone (or probably just a regular microphone with some software) that could hear URLs from TV commercials and send them to a browser. I'm not sure if that ever worked, but it sounded a little too Orwellian for me.
Unfortunately, aerospace is a place where energy density really really matters. If your car's battery weighs twice as much as equivalent hydrocarbon fuel, that will decrease your range, but probably won't affect your performance or total energy usage all that much.

For planes, however, using a more environmentally-friendly but heavier energy storage medium is self-defeating, because you have to spend a lot more energy lifting the extra energy-storage weight. Unfortunate, but it is what it is.
First off, I made the decision to go for equity last time place I worked. That does not always equate to being a founder. I was the only non-founder with equity and when I was fired (for being burnt out but that's another story) I lost in the end.

On top of that, being the only technical person and have full control over everything, including domains, hosting, code, etc. It's not really like I can be forced out.
Yes that works too - at least if you have a preset list of locations it's perfect.
Country: USA
City: Springfield (IL)

If you don't have a db of cities to choose from you likely end up with cleaner data by sticking state to country since you could make a db for that with just some 100-200 entries.

Country/State: US/Illinois, City: Springfield

The original point is still there though, having a single location field breaks down quickly.
Well, the one thing you've missed in all the items is waste removal, which is just as important as nutrient distribution. Also, we absorb more from our food than just energy. And even then, you caveat your answers with "but these are simplified and incomplete".

Then compare to the article, a bit of long-form journalism rather than throw-away summary lines, which opens with the statement that there's one crucial reason for sleep and we don't know it.
That person could leave it blank.

But as for the staleness issue you raise - that could be quite easy, the automated contact could be "tdicola, you have received a message about your jump-ship number", it can list whatever the person wanted to send you, and if it's stale data you could update it on the spot or remove yourself from that kind of search.

I would think most people "have their jump-ship-tomorrow price", and updating it whenever you receive an offer that's outdated (and based on old info) means it would stay more or less current.

I agree, and in fact the author - Dan Baum - made the same point in an interview on NPR a few days ago.

Document Summarization with Latent Semantic Analysis (2012)
Hi there, I didn't see this comment until just now. Unfortunately you don't have contact information in your profile so hopefully you see this message.

If you are not a practicing scientist, contacting the NSF will work best if you focus on how the collections at the Field Museum helped the Field Museum succeed in reaching out to the public about science. NSF has a dual purpose of "intellectual merit" and "broader impacts", and if you can speak about how the collections aligned with the NSF's goal of broader impacts that could make a difference. The proper contact email is dbicsbr@nsf.gov

I know that the Field Museum has been doing a lot of layoffs recently. I don't know how well it's managed but definitely things like being a museum member and attending tours will signal to the museum that their research and outreach missions are important.

Writing your senator and representative can definitely help, especially if you live in the district where a museum with a major collections focus is located. Most of them will have contact details or a constituent services form that you can use to get their attention.
Yeah, the "Additional Comments" are just as interesting to me. For example:

"Expedia sucks! Don't come here ..."
As a paywalled site, perhaps Harper's rarely gets much traffic? Regardless, if they're going to expose such great content for free, they're going to have to get on the level of an HN front page mention.
So was Concorde, but they were very uncomfortable (been on a couple in museums). Concorde feels like coach in a small commuter plane.
Chances are they will remove the physical home button in iPhone 7 and replace it with 3D touch. At least there is one use case for it then.
Maybe what the Objective-C runtime does isn't really needed?
It doesn't make much sense to have every method patchable, it doesn't make much sense to be able to build classes at runtime, and it doesn't make much sense to have all calls go through a trampoline (with a selector that must be get with another call).
Have you looked at the Surface? Penny Arcade has had pretty good things to say about it but there have been plenty of other reviews as well.

People want what they want, and don't usually have a consistent philosophical framework to back it up

And people can be excused for that. A political organization should not.
>If apple tries to make a mac tablet then it will be a horrible experience.

The Microsoft solution was painful because it was based on the insane premise that all software could run on all devices - as if anyone really needs the full version of Adobe CS or Visual Studio on a mobile, or wants Candy Crush taking up all the available pixels on a 30" monitor.

Apple will do something less insane. There's already overlap between the OS X and iOS touch classes.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a future iPad sold as the next Mac keyboard/remote display a few generations from now, when the tactility is a little better.
NYC is behind Austin? I would put Austin #5 behind SFBA, NYC, Seattle, and Boston.
That's odd. The idea is that WSJ allows non-paywalled referrals from google so I figured posting the link to the google search would help. Sorry about that. I don't know why it's still paywalled for you..
My point exactly. I'd not be able to support my family as well as I do in SF on even typical engineer salary. Cost of living alone makes my "low" salary worth it to me.
What this article didn't mention: Donald Trump's website is designed by Parscale (www.parscale.com). They don't list that site in their design portfolio.
Hmm, no case on mine. I chose it b/c I thought it seemed lighter relative to the area that shock would be disbursed over in impact.

I'm curious: Do you believe teachers asking for more funding is ethically comparable to prisons demanding more prisoners?
Yet that seems to be standard for most recruiters. Do you have 6 years experience using Server 2012? My favourite question ever (made by a recruiter in 2010) was, do you have 8 years of experience programming Android? Or what's the difference between Java and Javascript? Gah...
Yuck. I don't want comcast getting my money. They suck.
>You might as well say radio stations wouldn't transmit if they knew I turned them off for a few minutes during commercial breaks, and claim that that is a bug, and that I am illegally exploiting that bug for free radio.

Radio stations inherently can't selectively broadcast. Websites can.

The fact that websites already attempt to prevent ad blocked users from viewing content means that they would block it if they would know. Exploiting the fact that they don't know in a particular case (by using ad blocker blocker blockers, which are a thing) is exploiting a bug.

Plenty of websites have a contract or agreement about data they send you. See e.g. Youtube's terms of service, section 5.C.
I bet if people started booing during these live streams when they announce that BS they'd stop doing it real quick.
The sonic boom isn't created when the aircraft transitions through the speed of sound. Although I never hear it explained this way, I believe it is caused when the velocity of the aircraft with respect to the listener transitions the speed of sound. That's when the sound waves approaching the listener bunch up and cause the boom.

When the aircraft is directly above a listener on the ground, the relative velocity is zero, so you can see how the velocity changes from greater-than-sound to less-than-sound (twice) as the aircraft is approaching and then departing with respect to the listener. Thus the listener hears 2 booms.

The boom is usually explained in terms of shock waves emanating from the aircraft, but I think my description explains the phenomenon just as well, but more intuitively.
Ah that makes sense. The last webform I made I tied to a Celery work queue to send my email. Would be 1 flag to limit the send email tasks to "1 / second" or something, which would at least limit damage.

Right, that's what I meant. You set aside time as "productivity time" where you get the keyboard out of your bag; once you're done, you pack it away.

Works well for me (fiction writer), but might not work for people whose workflows involve constant distraction.

These are extremely inappropriate questions for a job interview.
schwarrrtz and azernik nailed it.

Today's batteries don't store enough energy for long international flights. There are some battery technologies in the lab (Google Lithium-air batteries) that might make this feasible, but they're not ready yet. Yet alone proven safe to carry passengers.

As fans of speed, we want to bring supersonics to market as quickly as possible. So, we're only using core technologies that have flown on other airplanes and are accepted by regulators.

There's plenty of opportunity for radical innovation in V2 and V3 once V1 is working!
I don't know what state you are in, but that is very low for RoR/JS dev. There are remote-only positions that would pay double that easily. That would mean 0 minute and you can stay where you are.

If you haven't seen it, I'd also recommend looking at the excel1040[1] spreadsheet. It's been developed for about 20 years by a single author, AFAICT. It has numerous forms, schedules, and worksheets, and it makes aggressive use of formulas and locked cells to ensure that calculations are correct. The spreadsheets closely resemble the actual forms, though I don't think people are actually mailing them in as-is.

I still remember how neat it was to type PostScript into a console window and see the result appear on the root window.
They did the same thing to me!

So, I corrected my WHOIS records... After which they complained that the legal disclaimer posted on the website served from the domain in question was not identical to the registered identity that they had on file for me.

So, I updated that legal disclaimer (since I have root on my own server), and afterward, they STILL refused to validate the domain on grounds that it may only be validated as a business -- a service which they tried to sell me.

15 minutes later, I was up and running with my first Let's Encrypt-issued cert.

Awful customer service at StartSSL.

Can't you use the same argument to equate drugs, guns, cars, sticks, water, and imperialistic wars? I mean, they all can be used to harm people.
Sounds good to me.
But go ahead and flame/downvote/hate on my oppinion as a member of the HN community. After all I'm just one person with an opinion.
They are lawful when you can demonstrate a link between on the job performance and the IQ test. Given how g-loaded software development this should not be hard to show.
It's not a reaction to the Surface. That probably explains why it doesn't do what a Surface does.

Considering that a Surface can replace a desktop PC, it should sell in the tens of millions annually. It might take another revision or two but this will soon happen.
It's simple. Nobody hires in the cities I want to live in, or if they do, it's mostly defense related work I won't touch.
No real mention of Adobe today or on the product pages. I did see Photoshop Elements referenced in the product use-case page.

This looks interesting but the screencast video kind of failed to make the point in my opinion. Take a look at serverless talks or apex intro https://medium.com/@tjholowaychuk/introducing-apex-800824ffa... for how to prepare a better illustration that proves your point.

> Isolation is not a real issues today, containers can provide complete isolation between runtimes and much more.

Most people will not necessarily agree. Containers don’t provide complete isolation and from a theoretical standpoint they never will (unless we rewrite the Linux kernel). There have been security vulnerabilities in the past about this and there will be, it’s just the way it is. Your argument here should probably be ”it's safe for single tenant use“ i.e. all the code runs on effe is your company's code.

Also coming back to the video again, I just can't fully understand what this project does, it just looks like a Go web server framework.
Also, the platform is ExpressionEngine.
0 out of 90 is interesting.
Sure you can: http://omz-software.com/pythonista/

But I know, you meant full-on apps. If we lived in a world where there were only locked-down, iOS-type computers, I'd agree with your indignation. But I think there's room enough for the iPad and all the other things out there. (Besides, can you imagine creating an app on the iPad? That'd take some incredible UI to not be awful. I do hope it comes along someday though.)

> Hopeflly PDFBox is more stable than Apache Tika.

I've had a few issues with Tika (at least one of which turned out to be a PDFBox issue). The mailing lists and bug trackers have been very helpful - down to people fixing bugs or writing me custom code to work around the issue, often in a few hours.

Very impressed, and the atmosphere reminds me of my first few years on the web: people helping each other, before it became so commercialised.
1. That example is not very useful. It's hard to blacklist .com, but it's even harder to blacklist Verisign. (Which by the way runs all of .com, and they have full power to delegate any domain and any certificate to anybody. This is not a theoretical attack.)

2/3. If you mean the FAQ you wrote yourself, it's misleading at this very point.

4. Pinning is useful, but it isn't a PKI. It's equally useful no matter how you issue certificates.

5. Domain name delegation are one of the Internet's weakest points today. Crypographic assurance of domain ownership would be very useful for a number of reasons.
Oh, and here is another thing. The authors say we need to take into account future income.

So on the one hand conservatives say Social Security is going to collapse in 15 or 20 years and no one will get anything, and on the other hand they say everyone is going to retire to a life of wealth and luxury.

Speaking of which, I wonder how many young or middle age conservative voters would consider it a good deal to sign away their future SSA income for one cent on the dollar.

Personally, "jump ship tomorrow salary requirement" is one of many items used to decide whether to actually jump ship or not.

At the end of the day, these type of data is only one aspect to consider when deciding what to do next, or even to contemplate the next step. Having these data available adds another input into the mix.
> I'll add a web server, Redox or UNIX compatible, that's efficient enough to be deployed in all these web-enabled embedded devices.

I took that to mean something capable of being used as a web admin console for the other services. HTTP/1.0 is fully capable of that. I agree that HTTP/1.0 would be a bit anemic for those that want to support an actual site, but as a simple included way to provide an admin interface, it should be sufficient.
I agree. What certificates have been issued until now fraudulently like this? Does SartSSL submit certificates to Certificate Transparency? And if it does, who knows if there is a bug in that code too, and certs have not been submitted?

Mozilla, Google, Apple and Microsoft should remove this CA ASAP. If it breaks some sites, even better. Maybe it will make some noise and fix all this CA bullshit for good.
