Yow. The "9to5 developer" movement shows its true emotional colors: jealousy and envy, apparently. You also misread his post. It had nothing to do with offhours work, but everything to do with his day job employers taking advantage of him.

Me, I will generally prefer the candidate with great open source records over the one with only a resume. The one, I already have a deep signal on how they work with others and the quality of their work- the other is a black box.

I've heard this many times before, but have not seen any evidence yet. Mind listing the technologies that got really, totally obsolete?
Sounds like the startup was run by Russ Hanneman. It's eerie that the characters in Silicon Valley (the TV show) can be pointed to real life people so easily.
Just to clarify, I do not suggest asking about mistakes a person has made. That is both a hint that I'm looking for a flattering narrative and not quite true. I'm looking for someone who can think back and identify the things he/she was wrong about. What were the false assumptions, how did those come to light, how would you solve a similar problem differently after that experience, etc.

In other words, is the candidate someone who has a rational meta-process going on about his/her decisions and is able to refine his/her approach based on learnings. I'm ideally looking for small things that show clear evidence of that kind of thought process.

As for body language, I agree, and I think my choice of the term "poker face" was a bad way of describing a certain kind of evasiveness which can indicate bad motives or bad people skills, either of which can make the person a bad hire.
Right. Selling at this price point they can easily focus on expensive extras. Special terminal with super fast security, then really quick transfers in both ends. If you could do a small airport experience in both ends (1h from hotel room to liftoff) they can charge what they want.
SGI's X server (Xsgi) continued to support the DPS X extension up through 6.5.22. It was removed after that, either for licensing or support reasons depending on which rumors you believe.
Some of the Adobe apps (Photoshop, Illustrator) used DPS.
That's true, but for smaller screens and only one or two apps per screen (in split screen view). I think the goal of multi-window might be to support larger display extensions (e.g. plugging a 24" display into a phone)?
When this kind of tax evasion becomes widespread, that should be a clear indicator that the tax rate is too high.

In a cashless society, it becomes possible (if not inevitable) the enforcement of that taxation will become even more onerous.

$20 from grandma for your birthday? Gift tax.

You and your co-workers decide to split a large lunch?
Temporary incorporation tax.

Your friend buys a 50 pack of DVD-Rs and you split them by reimbursing him half of the cost? Sales tax, again.

Sell an old comic book to a friend for more money than you paid for it? Capital gains tax.

Cash acts as an inhibitor to the impulse to tax everything or to tax it too greatly. It's understood that if you make a tax too burdensome, people will avoid and evade it.
You don't have to care about it, it was just pointed out for you a possible reason for the name. You can go on and care about the price, speed, etc now.

That's how it was in Manhattan (NYC) too, and that's why the layout of the subways doesn't seem to make much sense: they were all started by competing companies 100 years or more ago.

The problem isn't "taking over private infrastructure to continue the service", the problem is when the government funnels money to private corporations to continue the service. If the corporation can provide the service all by itself using free-market economics (more of less, there's probably some utility regulation needed), then fine, but if they have to be propped up by the government, then they shouldn't exist and it should be nationalized. A prime example of this is the government gifting tons of money to internet providers like Comcrap to make infrastructure improvements, who then just pocketed the money and didn't make any improvements.

IMO, all critical infrastructure should just be government-owned, and operated much like the USPS but with less Congressional interference. The USPS operates basically as a private company, except it's owned by the government and isn't for-profit, and is overseen by the government. Overall, it's worked pretty well except for Congress screwing around with it from time to time (like requiring them to pre-fund all employees' retirement with a law in 2006). The MTA (the company that runs public transit) in NYC works this way too. Putting the safety and security of your nation into the hands of a privately-held corporation that's only interested in profits is sheer lunacy.
Regarding your last point... sometimes, it's a matter of being professional. You don't want to go on a diatribe about all that was wrong in a former position or company. It depends on context of course, but in the end, sometimes there are reasons not to be completely open.

In my personal life, I try to live unfiltered. Not mean, and work more to filter on sensitive subjects, but I mean that let thoughts, even incomplete ones flow. Otherwise, I personally tend to stay in my head, and not let much of anything out. It's a balance.

I can't speak for others, but would say that your interpretation on the last point may not always be the correct one.

I have seen this effect in action and it is why I don't have trouble hiring quality engineers in the Bay area. Of the last 15 or so people I've hired I only had one not work out and that was due to their extended family situation making actually working really really hard for them.

That said, it can be ridiculously hard for a lot of recruiters to figure this out. I have worked with good ones (who seem to be formerly technical), bad ones (who seem to be "people persons"), overworked ones (who seem to operate much like a random decimation of the input stream would work). Another comment here on HN identified jobs as a 'matching market' which is a thing I had not heard of before. I've started hunting down good references on how folks analyze such markets.
The early promises for Concorde said it would be cost effective too.

>> Do you really want to "win" in that culture?

Nope. OP has a good reminder about not seeming evasive in interviews, and maybe this is more of a problem if you're in the wrong place anyway.
We've had pretty good success with particular types of jobs.

Jobs like porting from one framework or language to another usually succeed because the original software acts as a complete specification.

Where I'm working now, we've spent quite a bit of time changing our processes to be more remote-friendly and it has been well worth it (we were inspired by Jason Fried a great deal).
So tele-presence needs to be good enough to transmit that good, firm handshake.
Can you share a few of these schools?
>It sounds as though your argument is essentially that many of the inventions provided by the Digital Revolution, while exciting and appealing and sexy — and maybe, because they are so sexy, they gain more of our attention than they warrant — that as exciting and sexy, etc., as they are... they don’t stand at all in comparison to the breakthroughs of the earlier technological revolution.

This is the perspective of an outsider looking into the world of tech. As someone on the inside, I would argue that those benefits simply haven't arrived yet.

I just left a start up who business model was automating a large (Multi-billion $), ancient industrial vertical and who's only technological improvement since the invention of the telephone was using excel rather than paper ledgers.

Telepresence will definitely be a greater and greater percentage of the market. The overall meeting-market is also expanding. I think the subset of the market which ends up as in person meetings will continue to expand for a long time.
Because that method doesn't imply the key distribution channel will be available 100% of the time. In fact, it implies the opposite: one-time transmission. For the next 4 GiB, it would be wiser to switch the channel. Between these two occasions, we have plenty of time.

> In order to outsmart them, you will have to be smarter

NO! It's really not that damn complicated. And there are even plenty of extant policy proposals for eliminating or greatly reducing tax avoidance schemes.

Public policy, most of the time, isn't rocket science. See e.g. https://www.oecd.org/ctp/BEPSActionPlan.pdf

There's a difference between globalization of unskilled labor, globalization of skilled labor, and tax avoidance. The first and second are, to varying extent, unavoidable and probably net beneficial to the bulk of humanity. The last is not unavoidable and is also decidedly unbeneficial for most of humanity.

(There's also a difference between off-shoring for the purpose of true cost reduction nand off-shoring for the purpsoe of tax avoidance. The former is far more common than the latter, although a decent amount of FDI is about tax/tariff avoidance.)

> but if you could, you would be one of them

Of course I would. But I'm not delusional and wasn't born into either connections or cash. So I do what I can to boost my odds, but I also cooperate whenever the opportunity arises.

And, if I ever do "make it", I'm sure as hell not going to become one of those "got mine, fuck you" types.
Also I absolutely hate how people think cutting government income is a good way to cut wasteful spending because it is immediately obvious it doesn't work. It can't work.

We cheered when that scumbag Reagan talked about starving the beast. It was clear that even George HW Bush, Reagan's running mate knew it was a stupid idea. The problem that neocons won't talk about is that we don't have a single preferential way of allocating budget. Imagine we shrunk government income by one trillion dollars. That's the easy part but where will we cut our expenses? We haven't dealt with the difficult problem at all.

Remember that every dollar "wasted" goes to someone. If they are loud and influential, they will probably get to keep their money/credit. So basically the rebalancing brought upon by starving the beast is nothing more than a cash grab by the more powerful more influential over those less so.

I invite anyone who talks about cutting taxes to first come up with a plan to cut government spending. If the spending cut is palatable and can survive the mobs, I am in favor of starving our babies to cut taxes for the wealthy. But we can't put the cart before the horse. No new tax cuts without at least a matching spending cut that we can keep for at least a decade or so.

I knew this is going to happen. This move is against Microsoft move. (Microsoft brought Bing to the core of its product and showed google, It is dead serious about fighting). Google does realize if Microsoft can beat ChromeBrowser/GoogleSearchEngine (two of most important product of google) Google as company is done (I am not claiming google in this scenario is going to disappear, but it is going to be underdog.)

Google's only move was to attack the core of Microsoft, Which is Windows.Google does have pretty much everything in Webspace/MobileOS space and application space (these are web-based app, ironically in my fedora other than emacs,all of my apps are googlechrome-webapps) other than the core desktop os. And at the other hand Microsoft does have core desktop os + everything in application space but nothing in webspace/mobile.

They completely find themselves against each other and they are going seriously to attack each other because they understand perfectly they are too dangerous to each other.

Google can and will replace desktop app with web apps in long term (which is Microsoft's nightmare) and Microsoft will use its core product to hit google and improve its position in web against Google will.

I predict this is going to happen after Satya Nadella vigorously attacked Google's position. I even commented about this almost 1 year ago.

The reason Google and Microsoft are so dangerous to each other is because they want the other one's market share.Apple at the other hand positioned itself very well. They are for high-end and expensive market.Microsoft and Google does have high-end and expensive product , but who are we kidding, in that space they are nowhere near Apple.
and Apple showed in recent year (other than Iphone 5c , which was strategic mistake) apple is not interested to low price product market and they are happy with their community.But Google/Microsoft does have serious clash of interest.

The other thing, don't forget about UWP, Microsoft does use this strategy just because it wants to use its advantage to push itself to mobileos as vigorous as possible.

There is so many clues about what is going on.These two company is just like army preparing for big fight.

This is just like chess. I am so curious how this will pan out.

$399 USD is great, but why are we still stuck with 16 GB of storage on base model phones? You can barely put a day's worth of music on your phone and you cannot always stream via services like Spotify.

Spotify accounts for 2 GB of traffic per month on my phone and some plans are barely affordable when you want more than that--fortunately I can do up to 6 GB before I am traffic shaped, but that isn't the say the same for all carriers in this country.
Perhaps not criminally, as some nugget buried deep in the Terms of Service probably gives them a contractual right to do this with the nominal assent of the users, but even if it's contractually valid it strikes me unconscionable and open to challenge in civil court. It also seems like a spectacularly self-defeating business strategy, but then again I thought the same thing about all those 'one weird trick...' adverts.
