A lot of recruiters say that it's not about ensuring the candidate gets the lower end of their expected range, but that's just what they say.

I actually have a friend who worked at one of the aggressive boutique recruiting firms who mostly focus on the New York investment banking jobs.

He told me that almost always, their client companies would tell them that if they were able to get a candidate to come in with a salary below X, the recruiting firm would get an extra bonus on top of their commission, and the bonus was priced to make sure it was more lucrative to try to suppress candidate wages than to adequately represent the candidate's higher-end expectation.

Whenever I hear a recruiter say anything like, "Look, I don't get paid unless you do so clearly I'm trying to get you the most that I can..." it's an immediate dealbreaker. They are probably being paid a bonus precisely to ensure I come in at a lower salary than what I could otherwise command.
The UN is probably better described as "The WW2 Winning Team + associates". Please adjust expectations from here on out accordingly.
I agree that the Anthony Weiner case is similar, but there's also a very different argument in play with publishing those photos.

A public official exposed behaving inapropriately or hypocritically is much more obviously a matter of public interest -- to the people who elected him based on a different representation of values -- than exposing the inner workings of an entertainer's sex life. Gawker tried to stake their claim on the public interest basis in this case and lost. In my opinion, that decision was correct.

I also wish that sex scandals didn't have power over political careers because of the perverse incentives that it creates for politicians to behave in certain ways.

Weiner also could have sued over his photos, and possibly should have been able to win his case. To me, if he does the job that he's elected to do then it shouldn't matter what he does on his own time. With the caveats that those actions are within the law, and also that I did not and would not ever vote for him.

Even if Weiner had sued it wouldn't have changed the course of his scandal, based on what we've seen in other cases. Look how long it has taken for Hogan's case to be adjudicated, and it has hardly wiped the memory of his sex tape from the public consciousness.

Sure, an unrealised idea is next to worthless.

The real pain is making a decision and expending resources on your challenging/risky idea. There's very little appetite for the responsibility and risk that come with big ideas (in a BigCo).

Got the ability to think up new ideas, sell them within an organisation, and get them executed (hello 'doer') in a way that provides value to that organisation? You're gold, and worth way more than the 'doer'.
That is a mind-boggling comment. I've mostly avoided applying there because they are so over the top with advertising their extreme investment into huge open-plan spaces. It was such a huge cultural turn off that I figured there was no way they would even consider someone like me.

To align or not to align (survey)
Any programmers out there want to weigh in on this highly controversial topic?

This is part of a larger research project how code can be displayed to improve readability. One idea we're looking into is to integrate auto-alignment more naturally with text editor.

For example:

my_var = foo(y0, z)
my_var2 = bar(y, z)

to:

my_var = foo(y0, z)
my_var2 = bar(y, z)

or maybe even:

my_var = foo(y0, z)
my_var2 = bar(y , z)

Right now, a major limiting factor is that this has to be done manually. Some text editors and IDEs have macros to help, but that's still manually, just less tedious. And they often aren't able to align based on multiple tokens.

Some people have already started looking into using more advanced pattern matching algorithms for this, but one of the first questions to ask is: how much alignment do people actually want?

Well, I cover that stuff. I think it's foundational to learning to program, rather than just assembling toy projects. Exposing students to the real implications of their high-level code can only make them stronger, better programmers. They don't need to write an OS to do app development, but they sure as hell need to know their big O, how to do estimation, their data structures, and some fundamental algorithms and techniques. We try to give them the tools to continue exploring as well- those who are interested tend to follow up with MOOCs, having been well versed enough in programming that they can use videos and exercises to learn on their own.

Thanks for trying to talk me out of this. No one has done that before despite me trying to get them to, so I really appreciate the feedback.

None of your points causes any concern for me though. I have lot of ideas on how to retain users--it's not simply a single use product. Krewe is not a "Tinder for friends," it's completely different and actually tries to mimic the way people naturally form and maintain friendships.

I am very certain that there is huge demand for a way to comfortably and conveniently make friends. Anyone who's ever moved to a new city, or had friends move away, knows how hard and how awful it is to not have anyone you're close with nearby. 20% of Americans say they're lonely, and people generally have fewer close friends than they used to. Depression, addiction, and suicide rates have been rising for years as a result. No one has tried to argue with me that making friends as an adult is hard. Consider yourself very lucky to not know that is a problem.

Do I have the right solution? I'm not 100% sure, but I know that I'm at least very near it, and I will find it or die trying.
That's not a nice summary at all. It's a (mildly amusing) inane quip that also happens to miss the point.

Right but there are several other much less precise constants/measurements than 16 digits of pi.

G, for example, is only known to 5 or 6 digits of precision.

Nevermind the mass of the rocket/satellite/probe, positions, the mass of earth, orbital perturbations not accounted for ... etc.

What NASA does do is know precisely the error bounds of any important number which is far more valuable than using arbitrary precision math for π.
I think this is different, sounds like the Benin Bronze was basically stolen from the capital.
I stand by my opinion of the term, it's completely inane, but after risking a search on it, 'only' the first 8 out of 10 results were rape-related porn videos, so it seems to be also used by major sites in the sense you used it.

It's the first time I've ever seen the term. Since it seems to be (somehow) a relatively established term for this kind of thing, I guess I'm wrong to ask you to not use it, but I think it's meaning is confusing, and I'd probably just call it a private sex tape.

And I realize it's not cool to mention downvotes, but to the people who downvoted the simple question/request I made about this... seriously?

That they found such a difference in neuroplasticity is fascinating. I wonder how this applies to the higher functioning end of the Autism spectrum. I have spent a lot of time with many different people diagnosed with Aspergers or falling somewhere on the spectrum. Some seemed to have full on autistic traits while others seemed just like your average person, other than their crazy intelligence. There were many shades of gray. I guess that just shows the lack of understanding we still have on what actually is going on in the brain. It's great to hear about this kind of progress.

I think you should share your salary with as many people as possible. This "don't share" policy is just a trick used by companies to keep labor costs down.

If employees know each other's pay, they will start demanding raises - Then you get in a situation like in the finance sector where companies will be forced to pay big bonuses to hold on to important employees. Companies don't want that - They want their engineers to stay cheap, dependent and foolishly loyal.

It's how the system works; nice people get screwed. In your career, you will only receive the minimum amount that you're willing to accept - It's HR people's job to make sure that you don't get anything more than that.

Why not? I feel like this is a dirty secret and double standard at high profile tech startups - management and those with preferred stock regularly sell to the secondary market while the common workers are supposed to be wait for some distant pay day that may or may not arrive. Why shouldn't you be able to take money off the table? If the company is really that solid and the IPO is such a "sure" thing as you are lead to believe then it shouldn't matter. What I learned when I sold my options was that I was not the first and in fact the secondary market companies told they sold employee options before so it can and is being done. I don't think its a red flag at all. It means your savvy. I think that most employees aren't aware that this is even an option for them.
Lol. You have no right to that information. I'd counter with something like "How much does your wife make?"
I know it's anecdata, but to confirm your experience I have had recruiters and hr reps tell me explicitly that either they will not continue without salary information or that the software their company mandated that they use would not allow them to continue with no salary or a $0 salary
> this does set precedent for other individuals to sue other media companies for massive amounts of money

You're eliding some very important details. The precedent it sets is for individuals whose private sex tapes have been published against their will to sue media companies for massive amounts of money.

If I made a private sex tape, and it were somehow published, I'd want to be able to sue for it too. Whatever happened to tech nerds being in favor of privacy? I don't want the government snooping on my phone calls and I don't want media shit-tards spreading my sex tapes. It all falls under the umbrella of privacy to me.
It is still incredible to me the two following points. One that the uncanny valley is such an eerie point, and this robot hits it dead center for me...
The second is how much we have taken away about technology from movies. While Asimov's laws are often referenced, the overall theme of society seems to be that the robots will rise up. I wonder how much of that is latent ideas from our human history...?
Wow that fucking sucks.

The standard (at GOOG & others) is:

25% on year 1
2.08 & 1/3rd every month thereafter (75% vested equally over the next 36 months)

Furthermore, there are other grants that vest quarterly for the first 18 months of employment (in addition to the normal 4 year).

Look, I used to work at Amazon. They are the worst paying big company out there. Complete with totally shitty vesting plans. My first vesting with Amazon was over 5 years. Yup, they really took advantage of us new grads.

Hmm. Maybe. I think you can have a wave whose frequency is effectively zero for practical purposes, but in the most literal sense, a wave is defined by oscillation. In the case of EM in particular, I think the uncertainty principle says that a photon can't have zero energy, and thus can't have zero frequency (though it can be immeasurably low).
Does the TMS treatment affect autistic symptoms other than emotional blindness? I've taught myself to read people pretty well, but things like hypersensitivity and hyperfocus are still significant issues for me.

Most people probably agree with you, but it doesn't mean founders or start-up execs will see it that way. And there's no way to know why they might cause a problem over it. It could be that they've seen a lot of people selling and view it as a bad signal and they just take it out on you ... or it could be that they are just psycho and see their company like a cult and suddenly you're "not a team player" if you want to sell shares.

People are far from rational about this stuff.
>The main advantage of owning over renting is that you can keep your existing collection if you stop paying.

Clearly. It's not your collection if you're only renting access to it.

This seems very, very plausible to me. Jobs in this experience level and pay range aren't generally posted publicly, and don't stay posted very long if they do go public. This reminds of the same sort of phenomenon with "the good houses"—they never make it to market because someone knows someone knows someone who wants a house like that, so they get first shot at it.

These sorts of jobs are best found through one's network. Not only does this open up better opportunities, but this sort of "back channel" opportunity usually comes with more details than a public job listing (such as the "I think they're probably paying $YYYk or so").

As you noted, good writing should be sufficient in a case like Weiner's to eject him from office. Similarly, in a case like Bollea's, good writing should be sufficient to get to the public all that is newsworthy.

That good writing can mention that the author has seen the photos or videos, and describe them as necessary to support the story.

Of course, if the photos and videos are not published the subject might accuse the publication of lying, but the original publication can show the photos or videos to other publications who can also write stories about them.

In a case like Weiner's, I don't think the public would believe him if it came down to several major newspapers all reporting that they had seen the photos first hand, versus Weiner saying that they are all lying.

If the subject tries to sue a publication over their written story, the photos or videos will be evidence for the defense, and the likelihood of them getting out to the public goes way up. That should provide quite a bit of discouragement of intimidation lawsuits.
