Meh, I ask it on a couple technologies now and again but only for broad tech. It does two things for me. One is that for some of my positions, I need a candidate to be good at some but not all things my team does, like windows, linux or net ops. So it helps me focus my questions on what the candidate feels comfortable with. It's not a trick.

The other thing that you can often see with it is how much a person doesn't know that they don't know. I don't often get someone telling me that they are a 9/10 in linux but generally when they do, they can't set an ip from the CLI, or use top. I do want to see people who understand what they know and what they don't. I realize the question is pretty arbitrary so it's one data point in a set but it can be useful to understand how someone sees their own competency.
It is not an unprovable absolute claim that Picasso has not produced any artwork since he has died - it is a fact.

The only question is would having long copyright have motivated Picasso to have created more art when he was alive. Given that the extensions to his copyright occurred after he died we can be pretty certain that unless he was a clairvoyant that the later retrospective changes to the copyright laws did not motivate him to produce anything.

More fundamentally great artists create art because they have to - it is part of their core. Art existed before copyright for exactly this reason.

I didn't understand that you found the quality or scope of mentioned studies lacking.

Thanks for clarifying.
Google's is pretty typical of not-unusually-compact general dictionary definitions, "a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole."

Unlike yours, it encompasses regulation (which redistributive taxation is generally recognized as a form of) and the focus is on "the community as a whole" (for which the state may be the tool used, or may not) and not just the "the state" as the focus (which is important, since without that it wouldn't include libertarian socialism.)
Of course, employees can also always fire their boss, as long as there's another employer waiting.
I have a fairly sophisticated docker VM with wal-e, replication and everything running. Yes - I am aware of what you say.

Hosting the dB has never been the knowledge about central piece of application. you may disagree (and I respect that), but for me it has been similar to building a RAID-10 dedicated server vs using AWS.

You can argue that maintaining data resiliently is a critical part of the organization - but at what stage? In the first 3 years of a startup, you are iterating the product. You are pretty much agonizing over drop rates, conversion rates for every single minute of your life. The fact that data will crash NEEDS to come a distant second.

Dropbox has only just moved out of AWS. Storage was probably the most critical part of Dropbox, but it chose (rightly) to focus on customers first.

What you are talking about will come - but it will come after some time. And till then I would love to pay some postgres devs to run a hosted dB for me...like RDS.
Doctors prescribe both Truvada and Birth control on our platform :) There is no automated system dispensing drugs. A licensed physician reviews each request.

Market makers do make markets. That's not a zero sum game.
You covered Situation, Task, Action, Resolution; you're hired!
I read that. The part that concerned me was not being there and looking at the patient. Birth control can cause some serious side affects. Granted it's a small portion of the population if I recall correctly but even so the patients are not doctors and may not understand the seriousness of answering a question incorrectly (or may not realize they are or their health could have changed since the last time they, say, had their blood pressure checked).

Hence I'm curious what type of liability this opens them up to. Like I said maybe it's nothing / not a big deal but I was hoping if someone knew they could comment.

I think it's only going to work in specific cases where policy or regulation demand. Note the examples: Airlines, telecommunications companies, parking tickets. Either heavily regulated industries or the government itself.

Amazon and the shipping companies aren't, but I fully expect that if this sort of thing becomes a major cost, they'll simply adjust their policies to eliminate it. Amazon doesn't have to offer a refund for a later price drop the way that airlines have to compensate you if your flight is sufficiently delayed.

Is there any indication that this will extend to general companies? I'm guessing that there aren't legislated consumer rights in most industries.
Well, martey found the one I was thinking of (above) -- it turned out to be by Paul Ford.
There is a range of options nowadays. I think that the portion of liquid fuel only options will decrease over time, and the mix of PHEVs will increase sharply in the very near future.

I think electric only makes a lot of sense for many applications, but certainly not all.

Anyway, my points above were related to Supercharger congestion in holiday seasons - something that will be even crazier in the Chinese market with the Lunar New Year.

I bring up China because they are the largest car market, and the Chinese govt is pushing for fuel efficiency and pollution reduction, both of which electric cars achieve.
Lucky you. I also had a working VT100 some years ago. It's a nice device but rather huge. Still I hope to have it back. It was nice to see those monsters in The Big Short.
He doesn't care if anyone takes over the leftpad module.

He unpublished leftpad

Someone else republishes leftpad as a new owner

Since npm won't allow you to publish old versions, stuff is still broken since the depended on files have a hard dependency on v0.0.3

npm (the company) forces a republish on v0.0.3 or I guess an ununpublish.
> Nerds comprise most of the 1% in the US. It is pretty much the best time in history to be a Nerd.

No they don't. Capitalists, who are pretty much all of the 1%, don't seem predominantly to be nerds by any usual definition.

Nerds are, perhaps, overrepresented among elite workers, but even elite workers aren't the top economic stratum.
> Granted the license is WTFPL but does that include taking over the IP itself

Well, I'm certainly not a lawyer, but I personally think thats in the spirit of the "Do What the Fuck You Want to Public License"... And at the end of the day the IP is still owned by the original author; the distribution of it has changed.

Dreads? That seems to me to be a overly strong reaction. Though if an EV meets your driving needs and you're able to charge it at home, etc. I can certainly see the appeal of not needing to bother with it.
> I do want to see people who understand what they know and what they don't

Ok that's fair, I can see that point.

I usually just probe by asking details about the projects they've done etc.

Also found there is sometimes an inverse corellation between those who rate themselves high and their abilities and vice verse rate themselves low and their abilities (there is a name for this phenomenon, but I don't recall it). The idea is those who really know a lot, also know how much they don't know.

If someone asked me "how well you know the Linux kernel", I would say not at all. Because I had to read the source to some parts of it, had to tune it for realtime charactestics and have seen the depth of the rabbit hole so to speak, and realized I don't know anything compared to how much there is to know about it.
My project didn't 'use' left-pad -- yet it was affected by its removal. The story here is not about the specific project that was removed but that in the npm architecture it is possible for a single maintainer to negatively affect hundreds of people and projects with ease.

Why do you assume you're starting at 100%? That doesn't seem like a given to me. You go to work on Wednesday, maybe run a couple of errands, and then leave on your Thanksgiving drive.

i....laughed so very hard during this article, oh my. and it had very little to do with the beers meeting i had at 4:30 today in a Seattle building named after an Austrian physicist. seriously big laughs here, thank you, from a tech (my wife says 'retail') company worker. huge laughs, #5 was the best, dying over here.

laugh or cry i guess, consider this data point: my team had 23 loops for a particular role, all shot down because candidate clearly had not seen this article yet. Do RSU's factor into the hours spent by 8+ team members trying to fill 8 open out of 50 total headcount? Because on base salary alone we have already paid for like 3 headcount or something.
If you're good you can charge roughly U.S. rates as a freelancer. Keep getting projects, testimonial and after every project where your clients were ecstatic, hike your rates by 30% or 50% or more, until client's are "merely" happy.[1]

The lower salary only means one thing - you can get by being a less experienced developer in India than in the U.S. People aren't willing to pay even $40k for a Joomla programmer who has done nothing but gone through the tutorial, but they might be willing to pay $5k for one, and there's only so many places in the world where one can get by for that little.

This incidentally also mislead hiring managers in India thinking everyone will accept salaries that low, so they set their salary cap that low, and only people who are inexperienced or those unwilling to work for themselves on the internet will accept that low of a salary.

Having heard various stories and my own experience, there's definitely difference between outsourcing to an Indian consulting firm than to an Australian (or even Russian/Ukrainian) one.

[1] Two examples: https://www.upwork.com/o/profiles/users/_~014440ca451f6d05fd... He looks like he's charging $45 on a short term basis and $25 for full time, long term work, which equates to $50k. https://www.upwork.com/o/profiles/users/_~01ec0a80c3dfdb1477... At $40 per hour, that's only 250 hours of work per year to reach $10k.
I'm definitely a Rust fanboy, but the single-quote syntax for lifetime annotations can be irritating. Several editors I've used automatically insert a second quote to match, and I am frequently unable to disable that behavior without losing all paired delimiter insertion (like for parentheses or braces).

It's a minor quibble to be sure, but it's the only language symbol that bothers me when writing Rust. Not sure what I'd suggest replacing it with...backtick, maybe? Pipe? @? ~?

There aren't many other special characters on a QWERTY board that aren't already used in Rust. Which I think gets at one of the stumbling blocks that I see in the various Rust syntax bikesheds among those who haven't worked in the language. It's just alien until you've used it a bit, especially if you're writing a lot in pseudocode-y dynamic languages.
Another way to look at it is that there are many use cases (like the one you cite) that involve information asymmetry. [1] That's usually a good place to create new markets. The legal field seems rather promising in this respect as the current delivery model of $300/hour with high minimum costs is incapable of addressing basic quick-hit problems like evaluating an offer letter to help with employment negotiation.

The interesting issue is not so much technology (it's basically there) but how to market to customers who only intermittently have a problem that requires your product. You have to find niche market customers who experience the asymmetry on a regular basis or you have to go through channels instead of direct sales. (Example: piggy back on LinkedIn as a channel to deliver services to assert rights under prevailing labor law.)

Hope so. Prevention failed.

I believe, but obviously cannot prove, that we've already passed the tipping point. Thawing tundra, ocean acidification, and burning forests are all now in positive feedback loops. Meaning we could stop all human activity tomorrow and atmospheric CO2 would continue to increase.

But the great unknown that scares me is the thawing methane clathrate. Hard to imagine mitigating this one.

Yeah, browsers are essentially interpreters (and nowadays compilers) for a variety of crazy languages (html, css, javascript; probably a few more?).

You don't want to be writing your interpreters in C.
Having a lot of confidence in your abilities is arguably a pretty important quality in an employee. I've encountered a lot of engineers who were way less effective than they could have been, mainly because they were too timid to speak up, to take initiative, to lead.

So maybe they were right to reject someone who answered 4-6 in most categories. Either that person isn't a good fit skill-wise, or they are a good fit skill-wise, but not personality-wise.
This trademark doesn't cover the word "kik", but the whole design. They have other trademarks too, so maybe there is one that covers just the word.
Day-to-day, it's less hassle to charge in your garage every night than have to visit a gas station once a week. It's only long trips where it's more hassle. Current Tesla buyers are people who think that decision is a slam-dunk. It's safe to say that there are some number of similar fanatics in the lower price band of the Model 3.
>... if the level of terrorism remains in the "still kills fewer people than bathtubs" range, we realize we didn't need it.

Comparing terrorism to bathtub is foolish at its best and outright dangerously misleading at its worst. Tomorrow you can say `if the level of terrorism remains in the "still kills fewer people than old age" range, we realize we didn't need it.`

Statistics can be (mis)used to justify any claim.

One reason why people find terrorism more dangerous than heart disease, cancer, etc is this - bathtub and cars are NOT human beings and thus do NOT actively not tolerate difference of opinions amongst other groups of people and do NOT engage in acts of "killing other people for difference of opinions" while human terrorists do engage in such killings and do constantly search for opportunities to kill people with different opinions.

>How about they stop doing it and ...

Define "it".
How Tesla defines autopilot isn't how I would define it. It is why I use the lowercase version of the word rather than a pronoun.

A level 3 or 4 autonomous car is a true autopilot.

Tesla is level 2.

As far as I know (after searching), there's no IPFS module for Rust. IPFS + GPG would be ideal and I think by being one of the youngest major languages, Rust should not wait and lead in this other aspect of security!
There are roughly 4x as many iOS, Android (and runners-up) sales and growing. The graphs continue to trend in that direction. IDC is infamous for continuing to make useless comparisons which show PC sales to be better than they are. Possibly (if cynically) it's because that's who still pays for the research.

PC sales, even as narrowly defined by IDC, are now a small minority of total personal computing volume and profit. This shouldn't be surprising to anyone

Maybe I'm wrong, but last I checked, Csikszentmihalyi's research never generated a following except outside of academia like in the media / business gurus. I fear that he's one of the massive names where the attention to his research goes away as soon as he dies.
It's kind of a bloated memory hog. It takes up 42kB.
To achieve decentralization, we need a better model of trust for OSS at Github scale. If there was a way to verify the authenticity of packages, we could even use existing centralized repositories. I've been tinkering on an approach to this at https://github.com/chromakode/signet as a proof of concept.
I'm left thinking of how Go does it, whereby repositories are downloaded via git or whatever version control software's URL. Making it impossible for the admins of "NPM" to take down a package. Add in IPFS and you've got one heck of a "package manager" I guess Go's approach is not really a "package manager" but nobody can truly stop you from downloading from a git repository, and if they do, you can go to the forks etc.

IT Outsourcing – Is There More Than Just Cutting Costs?
looks like an 'n' to me: http://imgur.com/gBcM0wD
I've seen dozens of articles about how Google, Amazon and other large tech companies hire the best. It's a terrible assumption that these tech giants hire the best, they simply can't be picky with their hiring, they need to grow teams to keep up with progress, and replace the members who are leaving. They need to hire quickly, so they refine their hiring process to get qualified candidates, but not the best candidates out there. Sure, they might eventually hire some really good people, but the majority can't be held to a hire standard.
Go technically would of been immune to such an attack unless of course they took down the project's github repository, but it's possible to host your Go code anywhere with git or other VCS. One thing that I always loved about Go was this altogether.
DDoS is the very exemplar of Freedom Markets (tm). Probably its defining quality.

Functioning healthy markets require regulation, protection of property rights, fair and impartial court system, enforcement, etc, etc.

In other words, just like there's no free lunch, there's no such thing as "free markets".
Appreciate your comment on this. I shared my perspective based on what I heard from my customers. As part of the solution, I talked about my own product. You can call that advertising but I didn't know how else to talk about the solution of those customer problems. If you have better idea, please do share.

Yeah your current logo is horrible. And speaking of horrible stuff, I think you should decrease the tags, deemphasise lesser important links and work on the padding. It all looks VERY messy.

On top of that, I have no idea what your website is about - until I look at every link to find that literally THE LAST link on the website is the explanation.

Now for the logos.

http://i.imgur.com/A6DcE80.png

Bottom I dislike they look a bit corporate and doesn't convey anything about the site as far as I gather.

Middle is kinda okay, but it just looks like financial discussion.

The top ones.

The tree: Nice logo, money grows on tree. Still, it is kind of "invenstment-y" but the logo itself is cool so I like it.

The growing tree: It is cute, and something about money will grow.

Brain: Kind of getting there, ideas = money. Now the logo itself is too monotone / too green and will be hard (like the tree) to draw and make nice in smaller situations.

---

I don't think any of them 'clicks' with the site itself, but I can't really come up with something of my own. Maybe a lightbulb combined with a subtle $ inside and an upvote? It's a tough one.

Or, since the name is valME, maybe just a profile shape with a $ inside? It connects the money with the "me" aspect.

Or, a coin with an upvote inside it. That would signify that the 'upvotes' are the 'currency'/money.
I'm sure that it also helped that one of the new parliamentary secretaries (Terry Beech) ran a startup before running for office. I know from talking to him during the campaign that he was well aware of the problems which would result from changing the tax treatment of incentive stock options even before the topic came up when talking to the rest of the tech community.

As much as I agree, IPFS is still very much under construction and I don't think any known package managers got started after IPFS was reliable.

Can you fully describe how you are isolating these systems?
