What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch?

I've seen this happen a few times. Seattle has had a few salary spreadsheets go around. It generally stays low level (under 5 years) and eventually gets flooded with fakes.

I wonder if what we really need is for it to just be straight public with your name attached.

What if LinkedIn had a salary section? Let you display your current or historical salary. Would people do that? Say what they make? Seems unlikely. What if it's what they used to make?

In Sweden this information is all public and searchable. So far their economy and culture hasn't collapsed.
How to (seriously) read a scientific paper
> sometimes you want to be with it, sometimes you want to take a break.

So true. I'm at that point now, but finding it really hard to quit when I can just walk down the street to a store and buy it...
That's wishful thinking. It's really matter of how the culture has evolved.
A weekenders work can cover probably 80% of the population. This is the bread and butter of places like H&R Block and Turbotax.

There's not really much they can do to find deductions, they're little more than middlemen the law requires if you want to e-File.
I have to admit, I've always been a bit skeptical of the 'market value' part of this sort of argument. Seems like the same logic behind journalists complaining that bloggers are taking their market, or professional photographers annoyed that sites like Flickr mean people can get pro quality photographs for free or little money. Or complaints that open source is eating the market by commercial software developers.

I can understand these sorts of complaints, since stuff like outsourcing has put a lot of people out of work. But then couldn't you argue that people in countries with lower costs of living are affecting the salary of those in places which cost more? If company A is based in say, China and hires their programmers at a reasonable living wage for Beijing and company B is based in say, Silicon Valley and offers a living wage there, company A can release cheaper software for obvious reasons. If most companies in the US decide to use company A's software, are they affecting the salary of US programmers as an indirect result?

Seems like to some degree, you can make the same complaint about everything from Uber esque crowdsharing services to globalisation to hobbyist projects.
I can socialize my child(ren) without subjecting them to the public school system.
I've worked with banks and financial institutions for quite a while, and I would never pretend to be that sure about one bank, let alone all of them.

You picked a bad example. I can assure you that the clearing following that very card transaction would involve DNSSEC at least at one point, at least at one bank.
The only time I remember is when I tap a link just a hair too hard and it doesn't open because it went through a fraction of a second of the force touch action. I've never "hated" a feature on the iPhone. I very strongly dislike this one.
Funny you bring up Facebook, because what I you really need to solve this type of problem is something like Facesmash. (sidenote: I don't know if that was actually a real thing or just something in The Social Network.)

You want /r/roastme for coworkers-- but private. Somewhere that you can rank former coworkers and they can rank you-- But the biggest selling point needs to be that this dossier is only ever available to you. NEVER to potential employers, coworkers, etc.

There are some interesting problems-- like delaying/masking the changing in your ELO such that it can't be tied to people you know have ranked you, otherwise you'll get an obvious bias because people don't want to risk a burnt bridge.

But I think if people are honest about their salaries on such a site, you can give them a reasonable idea of if they're being underpaid.
Bigger than NYC?
What's even worse is they do what amounts to a bait-and-switch. I call up Comcast to get Internet service. Then they quote me a price on the phone and I sign up. However, the price they quote is only the "base" price. There's tons of fees and taxes that aren't disclosed until you get your bill. There's literary no limits to these line items and they can increase at any time. None of these were ever disclosed to me over the phone. I can't understand how this is legal.

They also did hard pull on my credit without my explicit permission.
To be clear, the person he reached should have reset / gotten the quota reset (if that's the root cause). There's often a human needed when something goes sideways, which is why we have paid support for Cloud - cloud.google.com/support. The issue is that he reached a human, and it didn't fix his problem. So like I said, sorry! (but I think it's okay to rely on humans fixing things like this)
>I've wanted a Tesla for a while, but being someone who repairs and maintains their own car, I can't see myself ever buying one as they seem heavily opposed to allowing anyone but themselves to work on their cars.

Do you also watch an old Bakelite valve operated UHF television because Samsung says you can't open up their 70" OLED Flatscreen without voiding the warranty? Valve TVs were always burning out and needing repair. Much like internal combustion engine vehicles.

If its a hobby, sure, buy a '66 Mustang. Otherwise "I buy internal combustion engines and transmissions, rather than electric cars, so that I can save money on repairs and maintenance" seems somewhat problematic.
Everywhere the plane is supersonic, it emits the boom. Your question implies that the only boom is when you "go super-sonic."

I understand why you got downvoted, but I don't think the question was actually repellant. If it were at the top of the thread it would be annoying but here I find it a fun thought experiment.
This is yet another invention from PARC that was marketed/finished outside of Xerox.

The patent was initially filed in 1990 and granted in 1996. So it should have expired in 2013. It seems to be owned by Lexmark (which was owned by IBM.)
Framing mistakes like this really bothers me.

Your passion was not your weak spot. Your weak spot was allowing others to exploit it. Passion can be exploited just like anything else. Those who are looking to exploit will exploit anything.

Clearly they were looking to cover their bases, which they did. You were free to also, but you didn't. The mere willingness to take low paying jobs is partially responsible for you not getting higher paying jobs. You made yourself unavailable to better opportunities.

It's like saying, having 100M was my weak spot, after someone swindled you out of it. Passion is that valuable. You want it and need it and are better off for it. If your recent experiences made you lose it, you should try everything you can to get it back. Those with passion have a distinct advantage over those without, and you want that advantage.

If anything, you should have looked to work with those as passionate as you, if not more. How could you tell? Well, for starters, if they are not willing to share the risk and financial hardship with you, that is a sign they mean business and not passion.

Anecdotally, opposite stories also exist. I'd be surprised if Jet.com and Theranos don't fall under this. Exploitations happen every which way. It's up to us to not find ourselves on the receiving end of it.
When you adjust for cost of living, Chicago actually isn't that bad. After adjusting for COL, it's actually fairly high, according to: http://tgeonetta.com/cost-of-living-vs-salary-best-cities-fo...

There are also entries from people who identify as space lizards and attack helicopters, so I wouldn't consider anything in that field to be of value to anyone.
no, I was very much describing the facts on the ground, I was not describing highly abstract semantic analysis that doesn't relate to legal usages.

I was also not describing linguistic usage in telephone conversation, I was describing linguistic usage in email correspondence. I don't think a correspondence would exist with a structure similar to the conversation the blog post discusses.

It can certainly be that when a conversation or correspondence moves into the realm of impersonation should be determined by the court. I think in the case under discussion here it would determined to be impersonation, the question then becomes what the harm was.

Looking through the statute referenced http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=pen&gr... I don't think I can see a harm defined that matches what was done very well. I think the most relevant section is 530 and it does seem a stretch.
I am sure some people at those companies would not like them as well, but they are not one of the biggest and most well know companies in the world.
<comment type='pedant'>

They added a concerned face on the end, which implies there is something about which to be concerned. Objectively, that is an opinion, not just an observation. Subjectively, I believe it's nothing to be concerned about at all, considering the circumstances of the creation of the sheet and where it's been posted.
I'm pretty positive I'm in full control of this company. I've taken reigns and made all the decisions. CEO has pitched in his requests, but ultimately has put me in full control, that being said I'm sure while my title says VP of Engineering (for his parent company by the way) I will become the CTO and co-founder of this company when it launches.
That doesn’t mean it’s a good thing.
Sorry, I made a bad implication that the backend would check to see if $MASTER_EMAIL was one of the three, as you called them, white-listed values ("postmaster", "hostmaster" or "webmaster") and if not then to stop processing the form.

I'm a woman with small hands, and I hardly ever use the reach-ability feature on my 6S Plus. I don't seem to notice that I can't type one-handed, I just type holding it and use the other hand to peck, but I love the larger screen size. It's very comfortable for me and you couldn't pay me to go back to a smaller size.

tl:dr; we all have our individual preferences. Glad there's now products for us all.
Exactly this, trust. People give money to churches willingly when they trust the Church will use those funds to do good work. People pay taxes willingly when they see that they are being spent on things that help the community.

When that trust erodes, through government sinecures and throwing too much money at a brother-in-law's construction firm to build infrastructure, etc. Then people are unwilling to fund that activity and limit their tax payments as much as they can. And when they really lose faith as they did in Greece it seems, well not paying taxes seems to be more common than paying taxes and the whole thing breaks down.

"In full awareness" means they know they are sending you data and that you are free to do whatever you want with it. You could view it with Lynx, or some other text only browser, or with a modern browser with Javascript turned off, or with an ad blocker, or with a computer program or script. There's no contract or agreement that says you have to display the data returned from the web server in any specific manner.

> If they knew you were blocking ads, they wouldn't have sent it. The bug is that they didn't detect it.

No, they have no way of detecting it. That's not a bug, it's how the medium functions. 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.

Oh my goodness, I went to the bathroom during a commercial break when watching TV last night. How much should I pay the TV station for stealing that show from them?
Hacker News Meetup in DC – March 31

I'm really not hinging on it, I just gave it because title seemed to be requirement of this form. I really am just a software engineer, because like you said, in a 2 man company, titles really don't make a difference.
Agreed... I was granted X options when I started over a 4 year vest... Those shares are worth a lot more now too... Is it my original price since that was the assumption when I was hired?
Sweden is roughly the size of California, and roughly 1/25th the size of Canada.

As for population density, Sweden is about 6x more dense than Canada (23 people / sq km vs 4, respectively).

It's comparatively a dense country.
Apple, Exxon and Walmart add value.
Better sorting to push down all the entries without employer/location would fix this problem.
Oh, are you kidding me? Man I got so excited when I saw the title, I already spammed the link to a couple buddies. I should have read it first.

I want real GAE. Not managed VMs. I want to be able to spin up a quick GAE version on a deploy, and if it doesn't get the traffic to scale up, then it just sits there and doesn't cost me anything.

Managed VM has 2+ instances running all month and is an incredible PITA to spin down if I need to temporarily. (The current workaround is to deploy a non-VM app and set that as default, which is just insane.)

GAE apps based on Managed VMs need a free quota as well. I have many apps but some of them don't do much most of the time. A couple will spike hard randomly. I don't mind paying when it does. I like the security that if/when something really takes off, GAE has my back.

In the meantime, I'll stick to Go on GAE. I'd love to be able to use Node, but things add up quickly if I have a couple hobby apps.

I'm glad that they are pushing Node and I'm a HUGE fan of the Google Cloud. I just really want Node as a native GAE thing.
It is the best option out there now.

It's strange to me that these salary discussions are so narrowly focused on just pay/bonus and don't seem to care about benefits and work/life balance. Here's stuff I track in my own career spreadsheet and compare new jobs against these metrics when considering a new one:

* Vacation, sick, and holiday time off
* Distance to work and traffic considerations
* Relative cost of living
* Health insurance cost and coverage amount
* Retirement benefits (401k, pension, etc)
* Expected work hours per week
Tons of car mechanics fix up old cars for themselves on the weekend. The difference is that when they fix their car, they don't fix that car for anybody else with the same problem, which is a serious limit to the mechanic metaphor.
I can't now but eventually. Thanks.

What specifically are you looking to do?
It's not that high. Cisco for one pays very well. Not sure about IBM, NetApp, or some of the others, but that's expected around here.

Uh, I mean, that was a total fluke, there are no jobs here, go on about your business... ;)
This is why you get paid so much.
In the near future I'd prefer to be making more. But when I was hired I specifically made it a requirement that I am paid at least enough to support my family and myself in the area. My state's average income is 24k/yr so I'm 6k above that. Which with my cost of living leaves me with a decent amount of money to survive and pay for my families needs.
Developers are the ones creating the apps for the majority of customers.

Ignoring the tools that developers and creatives use to create and sustain this thriving ecosystem is a very dangerous move on Apple's part. Skylake chips for the Macbook lines have been available for months and the Mac Pro hasn't been updated since 2013. OS X itself continues a long list of bugs and this only grows with "customer" features inevitably introduced down the line. El Capitan was supposed to give Apple a year to slow down and fix things but we have found it has been a huge problem in our work environment.

Datacenters don't run on iPads stacked in a rack, media companies don't play stuff out of an iPhone with a dongle. Xcode alone is the single reason OS X is still incredibly relevant. I don't see Jony Ive designing the latest iOS devices on an iPad for years to come and ignoring these professionals is not a good move.

Here's to WWDC, when the Skylake chips suited for the Macbook line were introduced 9 months prior.

There's a lot of scorched earth in supersonics, since Concorde wasn't an economic success and the Boeing SST project was cancelled.

Since then, there has been research on 300 seat Mach 2.4-Mach 3 vehicles, but these are extremely challenging.

To make this happen and happen soon, you have to start much smaller than the established players usually consider. We're at 40 seats—that's the minimum economic size. Supersonics are hard, so it pays to start as small as you can and scale up over time.

I know the feeling. I make $46k/year as (mostly) a Ruby on Rails/Javascript dev, but without moving to another city (likely in another state), there are no reasonable alternative job prospects. Not really okay with it, but I don't want to move to NY/SF/LA as lifestyle there is so much more miserable. (Current work: 7 to 15 minute commute, decent time off, can be hiking in the great outdoors within 30 minutes, and still bike downtown in 10/15 minutes. Mortgage runs less than rent in the Bay Area by large amounts...)

I would have someone proof read this for you. It's hard to go through this introduction as it is.
GlassDoor compiles that information. That site seems better for more complex analysis. I think the point of this spreadsheet is for simple analysis.
This is a bit misleading. For example, in serious use you need the domain whitelabeling on Sendgrid which requires the monthly $75 plan. Otherwise you get the 'sent via Sendgrid' message in most email clients. I'm not sure about those other providers.
