Ask HN: What is the highest paying company for a college grad?
Specifics:
I'm talking specifically for software engineering/programming.

I'm not talking about a special outlier person. I'm talking about the average pay the company gives for recent college grads. Also, please limit to companies that hire more than five recent college grads a year.

Many would say Google or Microsoft, but having many friends that work there, I don't think that is true. Any thoughts?

Personal experiences are welcome too.
Or just the same thing, but without the decentralised part, thus saving power, or the weird double deflation and creation of money part.
I think there is another problem. With framework the size of of angular is hard to maintain. It will be hard for others to take over if needed. With react's smaller parts every part (redux, react-router, etc) can be maintained by a small group of people. If some part isn't maintained anymore you can switch out that part. With angular you might have to rewrite the whole application. That is a risk I would like to avoid.

From a limited perspective, writing code in angular can be a little jarring process. Compared to js in the browser and node, js in ng comes in the way of the thought process.

Since angular 2 is very new (not even released) it's hard to have any experience from real projects. I have used both angular 1 and react for over a year each and I don't really see any projects where I would choose angular 1 over react except if that is what the team knows.

I assume Wright is sane and clever. His "magic" (as in "smoke and mirrors") presentations, a sample of which we saw online on his blog clearly demonstrate his talent and the invested time to research, plan and organize the events. The only thing he underestimated is the speed with which the old and existing signature was recognized to be part of his public "proof." Without that if would stay long at "he said, she said" which would perfectly suit him. He planned that kind of development and he knows very well how he'd use his status of "claimed but not-fully-confirmed Satoshi."

An example:

"About six months ago, before he was publicly outed in the technology press, he approached Andrew O’Hagan, a Scottish novelist who wrote an “unauthorised autobiography” of Julian Assange, the founder of the whistle-blower site WikiLeaks. Since then the author, whose most recent novel, “The Illuminations”, was longlisted for the 2015 Man Booker Prize, has had complete access to Mr Wright and his family, as well as to his research and business colleagues. Mr O’Hagan is writing a long article for the London Review of Books(2) on Mr Wright and “his journey towards revealing his work.” (Mr O’Hagan, too, has come to be convinced that Mr Wright is Mr Nakamoto.)" (1)

2) http://www.lrb.co.uk/2016/05/01/andrew-ohagan/the-search-for... "Online exclusive · 1 May 2016: The full, long-form account will be published here later this month." "In a world exclusive for the London Review of Books, Andrew O’Hagan spent many months with Craig Wright, the man responsible for what Bill Gates has called ‘the technical tour de force of this generation’."

I can't wait reading O’Hagan's story. He should publish it even if he understands that he'll thus show how credulous he was.

When javascript performs an asynchronous operation it doesn't block the thread. It stacks everything on a queue and then just works through everything as fast as possible. Any other language would require a separate thread for each operation.

I'm sure there's one other language out there that does it too but I don't know what it is.

Event based programming effectively means that as long as it has something to do it's doing it. You tell it to wait? It says great I've got all this other stuff to do.

Streams you may have me there, I didn't realise those were so widely used in other languages. Javascript works pretty well because you can run it on the whole stack. Share code between the front and back end. Stream from one place to another and around the corner.

I agree that paper was expensive. I don't see evidence that paper was the paramount, much less primary cost, of book making, assuming that explains the italics. Though I haven't looked hard.

I think you've mixed up two writing materials. "Parchment" refers to animal-based materials like vellum, not paper. Yes, people scraped the ink off parchment. But according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_paper , deinking of paper wasn't invented until the 1700s. The same source says in the 1300s or so, the price of paper was about 1/6th the price of parchment, "and then falling further."

Your cost model says only that the labor for removing ink from parchment was less than the price of making new parchment. For made up numbers, let's say the effective price to make new parchment was $15,000 and the price to scrape the ink off was $10,000. How does that help figure out if the price to copy was $4,000 or $40,0000?

ACH is just a very high level framework for shaking bias, the methods are implementation details. This is for humans, so you have to keep that in mind when you are choosing the analytic method - the most difficult that I'd press for is first order logic. Having a machine come along behind the human analysts and perform the more difficult forms of analysis is basically what Deep Green [0] was about. A more manual version of that would be the Lockwood Analytical Method for Prediction [1]. The funny thing about Deep Green was that developers had to address the fact that military commanders didn't like having a machine perform the planning process, so they had the algorithm include sub optimal options in the selection menu - allowing the human operator to feel good about choosing the obviously correct solution.

Re: switching to TypeScript, manual rewrite or transpilation? My codebase is CoffeeScript, so I'm also interested to hear if you have any experience with that (with Angular 2).
async/await is tiny amount of sugar over generators and promises (virtually the only thing that changes is `yield` -> `await` and `function*` -> `async function`), not callbacks.

So having a cold shower has no effect on core temp? What about a cold bath? What about being in the sea after an accident at the higher latitudes??

Also I think you will find that returning your skin to a normal temperature after chilling in in any way (water, aircon, etc) temporarily decreases core temperature after which you expend energy to return it to normal.

We may have had thousands (if not millions) of years to evolve solutions to heat conservation but they aren't perfect, or people would never die in freezing water or conditions.

Good point, but it looks like there's still a big effect. Vasoconstriction causes up to an extra 10 degC temperature gradient across the skin compared to when they're dilated (less than 1 degC). [ http://www.healthyheating.com/Thermal_Comfort_Working_Copy/d... p572 ] So that halves heat flow rate from what I described. It's like being in a 10 degC environment instead of 0 degC. You could double the length of the cold shower to 5 minutes to compensate.
Aeronautical research. The Aeronautics part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration isn't just a bygone relic. Their most visible projects are their space side, but they do a fuckton of research into making planes fly better/faster/safer. They do research on new control methods of planes, new geometries, how weather phenomena affect planes, etc.
>the difference in air pollution is massive and is definitely something I care about.

Myra Labs | San Francisco | https://angel.co/myralabs | Full-Time | ONSITE

What: Working to make “conversational AI” a reality (Chatbots are just one aspect of this)

Position: Senior and Junior Machine Learning and Product Engineers

More Info: http://www.myralabs.com/jobs.html

We’re a super small team intent on creating the best experience possible for developers to utilize conversational AI for their applications. Our stack is Python and C++. We do NLP and machine learning — “deep” and otherwise.

We are funded by Floodgate, Haystack, and Slack’s own fund. We'd love to hear from you if you have an interest in NLP, Machine Learning, Chatbots, Data Science, or building great developer tools. Competitive salary, larger equity given we’re so early stage.

(Email: My hn username at myralabs dot com)
Criminal negligence doesn't require intent. If you fire your gun into the air because you are a jackass, and the bullet comes down somewhere and kills someone, the gun is still a weapon, even though you had no intent to kill.
The other side of this approach is that when the mainline developers do not have much love to a particular platform, it is dropped altogether with little to no remorse - see the fate of Microblaze support, or even the good ol' C backend.

I wish we had a more stable API (maybe with a transformation layer) for the backends that may not probably need much of the new features. If LLVM had a maintained transformation layer from the "current" SelectionDAG to a stable one, it would have helped a lot.
A Basic Income Should Be the Next Big Thing
I'm going to risk the down votes to say that I sometimes appreciate what Business Insider does. Yes, it's all about quantity. But in practice I find it helpful to have a bunch of quick summaries of the day's news accessible for free.

Realistically, I cannot read the whole front page of the NYT every day. But I can keep up to date on Business Insider pieces because they're short and punchy. If I actually want to go into depth on something, there are plenty of places to read an in depth article.

Plus, all the quick articles subsidize the occasional in-depth one.

Also, one really shouldn't underestimate the effort and intelligence which goes into writing these articles. We might dismiss them as "clickbait" but it is in fact a skill to be able to quickly process and summarize information (as a former debater, I definitely appreciate it). Joe Weisenthal is one of the smartest and hardest working journalists out there.

Disclaimer: I used to work at BI.
>> But as you rightly point out that costs money.

I'm not sure. the main problem with the net isn't that you can't make enough for good writing using ads - but that it's extremely easy to copy someone else's hard work, maybe package with clickbait and make more money.

And i suspect that even when money would be involved, it may still make sense to create content using someone else's hard work.

In London the most polluted parts are the roads, and the pollution people get from "being in traffic" kills significant numbers of people each year.

> Nearly 9,500 people die early each year in London due to long-term exposure to air pollution, more than twice as many as previously thought, according to new research.

> The premature deaths are due to two key pollutants, fine particulates known as PM2.5s and the toxic gas nitrogen dioxide (NO2), according to a study carried out by researchers at King’s College London.

> The study – which was commissioned by the Greater London Authority and Transport for London – is believed to be the first by any city in the world to attempt to quantify how many people are being harmed by NO2. The gas is largely created by diesel cars, lorries and buses, and affects lung capacity and growth.

Yes yes, I've live in Europe for 13 years. When there is an American group in a restaurant, you KnOW, no matter where in the restaurant they are.

I've observed this in Hungary, Germany, Spain and others.

My theory is that most Europeans, living all their life on a crowded continent, tend to move in closer to talk, and hence talk at a lower volume. Americans, used to grand amounts of space, sit back and project their voice.
So we can't get hypothermia?

Agreed there will be a reduction in blood flow, but there will still be some warming up required. And I would imagine that the longer you're in the water, the longer you'll get cooling just from a pure conduction basis, irrespective of blood flow.

Not saying that I buy the whole "You'll lose weight based on physics alone!" in so much that it'll be significant, but the effect will be non-zero.
