I did that too. Perhaps it's a skill of some sort.

The only thing that worked was making a site that went viral. Then I got like 20 unsolicited messages/requests for an interview.
There's a lot of fluff in that article. I'd say it's a combination of two things: what the owners are doing, outlined in the article and something you can't get through management: a group of players that are humble and truly want to work together as a team. I stopped watching the NBA in the 90's after the Warrior's "run TMC" was broken up and Jordan and Magic retired. The egos and attitudes of the players really turned me off.

Curry and his teammates have turned me on again to the game, in a big way. The games are a joy to watch. The pure excitement generated by the team is just amazing. Even in the 90's I would rarely watch every minute of a game. I watch EVERY minute of each Warrior's game and love every bit of it. They are that good.
> That depends on whether the party to my transaction accepts your IOU. Most likely, they would not.

Correct. They have a choice about whether to accept your IOU or not (and, as you say, they will most likely choose not to). You have no way to force them to.

(In the case of paying taxes, the other party is the government, and they definitely won't accept your IOU; you have to pay your taxes in the government's fiat currency.)

> they would accept the IOUs of the FRB

Because they don't have a choice; by law everyone has to accept Federal Reserve Notes (I use that term because I don't agree with using the term "IOU" to refer to them, for reasons which I have argued in other subthreads and don't want to rehash here) as legal tender. And the government can back up that law with legitimate force, because it's the government. That's why having a system where the government prints money is different from a system where private entities print money.
There was definitely special treatment for MIT grads when I was interviewing at FB/Google. At FB, all of the MIT students were split off to go to the paid sushi restaurant on campus, while everyone else went to the general cafeteria. At Google, I was told that MIT grads generally skip the phone interview and go straight to onsite (and this was the case for my interview with them too). I'm not sure how big the difference is, but they weren't school-blind.

POSIX calls, which have always been there but require a recompiled binary, are different than the binary compatibility announced today. This additional step is actually quite an impressive feat of software engineering. To think that Microsoft would care so much about maintaining compatibility would have seemed ridiculous just a few years ago.

The problem is that the best-case scenario for Antarctica is severely limited by the whole "daylight" problem. Being at the pole, it is dark a lot of the time, and even when it is light a lot of the time, the light is hitting it at sharp angle, making it both inconvenient and weaker.

At best you're probably talking, Antarctica becomes as livable as Alaska is now.
It would be nice if they did release even a developer-focused version of Safari for Windows to help with testing for devs that prefer Windows.

However, this same problem exists outside of just web browsers. I help create native Android apps in Java. I wish every hardware manufacturer created a nice emulator for me to test the specific kinks out on their device. If Google enforced this policy, even better.

But that's not happening.

I guess the question is: should we expect / demand it to happen?

To make software that runs well on an Android device, my best bet is to have that device in my hand, just like having a Mac in hand (or one into which you can remote) is the situation today. It's not great, but it's not isolated to Apple and Safari.

Thankfully both mobile devices and browsers have services online where we can get screenshots of an app or website running on a real device or driver, without us laying out cash to buy them all.
Employers use degrees as a proxy for intelligence now that it's legally perilous to give IQ tests. They don't want you because they think MIT taught you something people can't learn on their own. They want you because you were smart enough to get accepted at MIT.

This entire episode is just a rinse and repeat of what MSFT did years ago in response to negative developer sentiment.
Most companies are pretty flexible about interviewing you if you ask, and also my work hours are flexible where I'm at, in addition to my already being able to work from anywhere at least some of the time (in fact this is near the top of the list of non-negotiable things I look for in a job). I can work around an interview pretty easily, especially because I'm already nearby. I have only had to take vacation to interview one or two times. All the other times I just make it work. But to address your question, I do in fact sometimes "pretend to be sick", because someone very wise once taught me as a young programmer to take "blue flu" days away from the office to help maintain a good work-life balance. I think this alone has been instrumental in preventing burn-out, because I am also at times the kind of person to work hard without any kind of break, which I think can be detrimental. When I mentor, I try to pass this along. You should take blue flu days, too!
It should be possible to do all the collapsing and whatnot in pure CSS, which would leave your setup un-affected :)

are you sure about this? MS has never been friendly to open source, the recent crazy moves from its side may just be a Troy thing, sorry I just could not trust M$ as history is the best teacher.

I feel MS is forcefully getting into OSS ground and may damage the freedom we have enjoyed. Anyway I have no interests in anything it's doing. No trust, no anything. I just hope it will not use patent or something it is trying to leverage now to sue anyone it wants later, after all it has deep pockets and it is never an ethical company per se.
My vote is for pure CSS. It's definitely possible, reasonably supported, and has 0% chance of doing something nefarious/malicious or introducing security issues.
You don't need to use js for collapsible comments at all. It can be done entirely in css.
If it's unsupervised and in another app wouldn't that just be ecommerce? Or are you talking about something like a kiosk?
> HN would break if it required it.

Why would it require it? If JS is turned off, the arrows don't get removed when you vote on an item. If comment thread collapsing were implemented, then thread collapsing just wouldn't work with JS off.

Just because so many "web applications" don't work with JS disabled doesn't mean that one can't make a site that works pretty much just as well with JS off as it does on. :)
I'm glad to see CloudFlare addressing Tor users and issues with CAPTCHA, as I've been victim of this myself multiple times in recent years. In particular is the issue that CloudFlare assumes javascript-enabled browsers, a condition which may well not be met. I recorded an exchange with CloudFlare support some time back in which the CloudFlare rep was apparently unaware how or why this might occur:

https://plus.google.com/104092656004159577193/posts/H2sakaRx...

I'm also aware of some tools/approaches which address the question of fair anonymity -- ensuring well-behaved clients while retaining anonymous status for the client. Best I'm aware these are very experimental. I've also forwarded the information to TK Hyponnen of F Secure, who may have some impression of the approaches.

FAUST: https://gnunet.org/node/1704
(Efficient, TTP-Free Abuse Prevention by Anonymous Whitelisting | GNUnet)

Fair Anonymity: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1412.4707v1.pdf

Assessing these is beyond my skills, but the references may be useful to CloudFare (or others).
Meanwhile they're pretty good at keeping up with simpler ways of blurring the lines between web sites and native apps, with APIs like AirPlay, Picture-in-Picture when you leave the browser, Force Touch...

I've always felt the WebKit/Safari team is just understaffed. IIRC there was graph posted here a while back showing the number of contributors on the major open source browser platforms and Google has a frightening amount of developers working on Chrome.
I've watched them a few times over the season and their players just don't do the same thing for me. Technically they are very good, I agree. There's an intangible in the way the Warriors play together that really increases enjoyment.

It's not just about winning. It's how they win.

Of course, the other thing is watching Steph Curry change the game. It's a wonder to behold.
recent Elizabeth Kolbert new yorker piece on miami and flooding
http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/12/21/the-siege-of-mi...

The basic problem is the limestone. Because of the limestone, seawalls are essentially useless as the water goes underneath through the porous ground. I think very likely the comments only seem exaggerated to you because it's difficult to imagine with all the people around you driving fancy cars and buying expensive condos, like pre-cupernican difficult.

No one knows how long miami has, but I would bet it's closer to 20 years than 100 years. To be quite honest, I hope it happens sooner rather than later as maybe something like that will start to wake people the fuck up. Doubtful though. There's always another rationalization.
It doesn't even have to be hover. You can do click-based stuff using hidden check-boxes. CSS3.
I'm no web-dev, but if it can be done with just CSS and not run into any wretched browser bugs, then that's clearly the superior way. :)
As a person without a CS degree who somehow works at Google, I'd have to say:

1. I work in an office where almost everyone went to the same university, which is in the same town as the office. Recruitment of grads from that university is a high priority.
2. Like you said, the interview process does bias towards things emphasized in CS programs. Recent exposure to algorithms courses would definitely help.
3. The culture within Google itself feels very much like a university culture. Perf (promo through 'demonstrating impact' and basically being in a lot of design docs and PRDs, rigorous and extensive peer review, committees evaluating people's work almost like a thesis defense), etc. To me at least.
4. I've never been on hiring committee but I do get the impression that degree will be considered. Even if not for hire, but for determining the hiring level the person is slotted into. I can't say that for sure, tho.

Anyways, although I have been here 4 1/2 years I do feel like an outsider, and I feel a lot of this is being sans-degree.
If you're afraid of JavaScript vulnerabilities, then why are you on the internet? Pretty much every website nowadays is completely filled with JavaScript.
Tor largely prevents most approaches to this. You'd need some way to provide a ticket to a given client, check for it later, and, preferably, ensure anonymity over time.

I've just posted top-level in this thread listing two projects of which I'm aware that provide this, though as experimental protocols only. I've been mildly agitating for further development of such tools. Looks as if CloudFlare are working in a similar direction, which I see as positive.
> It costs about $550 to remove a ton of CO2 from the atmosphere. Alternatives, such as sequestering CO2 from seawater, may be cheaper, around $150. I'm going to stick with the higher estimate.

Well, given the cost it looks like relocating NYC by itself is going to be, it might be worth it to pursue some research into energy efficient processes that can break the CO2 down.

> There's the additional problem that once you remove the CO2, you've got to hold on to it. That's 10 Gt you'd have to freeze or compress and essentially hold in storage for a few thousand years. That's a considerable warehousing project.

I was proposing putting money into researching a technique / process to break the CO2 down into O2 and carbon. Carbon has uses that would freeze it outside the carbon cycle for a long time.

> Not releasing the CO2 in the first place may be strongly preferable.

Well, from all the news, its too late now, so we might need to go to some other solution.

We need to spend money on this type of research since these articles keep saying it we've come too far.

> Also, think about how much of the Earth is covered in plants that already do this -- I'm doubtful we could come up with something that could match the current CO2->O2 capacity of all the Earth's plants and algae.

We need to make up the delta not replace what's there.

Early contender for troll comment of the year?
Hagiography masquerading as reporting.
Its more coincidental that the warriors got all the pieces in place. Curry was injured the year he had to sign the current contract which is way undervalued. This is the key that allowed them to have signings like Iggy. Curry is easily worth 2x what he's being paid now which would eat up Iggy's contract.

Nice you now understand why some people don't trust REST.

REST is based on a lot of optimism. Security is based on a lot of pessimism.

Building is a sane balance between both. Basically, you build slow to secure stuff.

Remember cathedrals were built for centuries by dedicated generations of small teams of highly skilled non compromising masons.

That's the way you build security. At the right speed.

openBSD is a going a tad too fast, and is a tad too big, but it is still quite secure and functional.

The problem is industry is wishing to make it go faster by throwing more unqualified man power creating a Babel tower effect.

Well, it does not seems to work.

No, it's not silly. What you said makes sense. I am referring however instead to meeting resistance in a project because something I've done or said doesn't line up with the already dug-in political interests that often exist in open source projects. I don't want to name names, but I can think of specific large projects (a couple of household names) that operate in this manner. Argue with a core dev about anything, and your PRs will get closed without any discussion. It sucks.

How many of those enforce their requirement?

I have previously applied and gotten job postings that mention they want a CS degree, in fact no one has ever made a fuss about the lack of it in my experience.
Wait... what? Do you have a source for that? I can't find anything in my searches to confirm that. I did see various EULAs saying you can't redistribute some bits included with some of the MSDN products (like MSDN documentation and sample Jet DB files) with your product, if your product is primarily a general word processor, database, or spreadsheet application. But nothing like you can't write one of those applications at all.
Great! I've been waiting for the day I can `rm -rf system32`.
Yes, Luck into Steph Curry and his contract, it's this smart silicon valley owner. NONE OF THIS WAS AN ACCIDENT.

Except, for how the Warriors even "lucked" into Steph Curry during the draft. It's because David Kahn of the Timberwolves drafted both Johnny Flynn and Ricky Rubio two spots ahead of Curry. Flynn lasted 2 seasons, Rubio didn't even play in the league until after Flynn had left.

Nevermind the fact that the Sacramento Kings essentially screwed themselves over when they got upset that Andre Iguodala didn't sign with them fast enough, which opened the door for the Warriors to sign him, then David Lee being injured at the beginning of last season which forced them to play Draymond Green (and finding out how great he was).

No it's, "all skill" man.

Talk about drinking the koolaid.

The Warriors are playing out of their minds this year, overshadowing a Spurs team that is playing out of their minds as well. The big difference right now is Pop is willing to rest his starters, Kerr has been playing his starters extra minutes trying to win 73 games. If anything that will be their downfall (I still think they're going to win).

"It's not just Steph Curry.", Are you out of your mind? If Steph Curry wasn't there they'd still be a good team, but not a team on the brink of winning 73 games.

Policy is not going to fix this. Neither are politicians. We're trapped in an economic model which demands infinite growth. A system built principally on hydrocarbon energy. Modest improvements can be made to improve efficiencies (see Jevon's paradox), but we're in a treadmill to hell. You can't grow GDP without consuming more energy. We stop growing, the system will collapse. And you're never going to have a politician get elected on a platform of conservation. "You know all that wasteful consumption we've enjoyed since winning the second world war, you're going to have to do with less"

Like mold in a petri dish, the human population will collapse ultimately into decentralized anarchist societies who trade among one another. Assuming we stop the 400+ reactors from going into meltdown, the majority of the population will return to farming.

We're not going to Mars anytime soon. You people can't live without AC or even know how to grow a fucking tomato plant. Sadly, most of this community will die.

Thanks for the links. I'll read them later in full. Off the bat: “That estimate includes deaths as a result of extreme weather conditions, which may be occurring with increased frequency.” May being the keyword there. Also, if the argument is more rainfall and temperatures contributing to spread of disease, does it estimate the ability to harvest more, or for longer periods in cooler climates? Not to belittle the warnings and data presented, but to look for the positive in the negative.

My grandfather was actually the first person to sue the US government (and particularly interesting for this case, it was against the CPSC) and have it actually come to vote in congress. My grandfather was the president of Marlin Toy Company, and in 1972 the CPSC mistakenly kept one of its products (the Flutter Ball) on the banned products list, and they refused to fix it until the next version of the list came out.

Surprisingly I can't find much on the case online (Some links below), and my Grandfather doesn't like to talk about it too much (though I have a box of legal documents from the case plus some articles). You can find more by looking up Edward Sohmers and the Marlin Toy Company.

I don't get your first point. Typically corruption undermines normal competition, reducing efficiencies. To quote from an OECD report (https://www.oecd.org/cleangovbiz/49693613.pdf):

"On the macro level, corruption distorts market mechanisms, like fair competition...The World Economic Forum estimates that corruption increases the cost of doing business by up to 10% on average. "

As to whether ISIS oil is cheaper, I don't know about that, but if so, perhaps that could be because it was stolen from its rightful owners. I don't think you can use that to draw a conclusion that corruption causes costs to go down.
