As pointed out in the comments there, the button will not ship a second order until the first one has been delivered. You will get a notification email each time it is activated so you can cancel an order. It's also trivial to deauth a particular button.

That depends where in the cycle we are. You're talking about the normal churn of startups, but in a downtrend the recruiters stop calling and that is the time where it is quite dramatic.

Probably depends how your company is doing. Don't worry about it too much it's mostly out of your control. But don't ask about possible layoffs how the company is doing just keep a positive attitude.

You can . . . focus at your job, learn what you can, take initiative, get things done, be a positive force on your team.

Save what you can, trim expenses, eating out, etc. Getting laid off always sucks do what you can to be ready just in case.

Polish up your resume and be ready to use it if needed. I expect you would get some severance to give you some time to bridge to a new job.

Good luck.
Google tries (tried? it's been a couple years, and the culture was changing when I left) very hard to do that, and they actually have the money spigot to make it work (for the most part).

The problem with the idea in general is that money usually flows from the party deriving the benefit to the party providing it. So if the company's top priority really was to provide a great place to work, then logically, the employees should be paying it to work there. Indeed, places that are often considered great places to work (Google, Palantir, Fog Creek, philanthropy, non-profits, education) are often notorious for underpaying their workers relative to where they could employ their skills elsewhere. If a company took this to the logical extreme - making the employees the consumers of the product/service - then it would cease to be "work", and would instead be a "hobby/internship/volunteer/education/experience".

I tried to do this, in jira, when I first started at my last company, and was told not to.

It takes time to do programming work. Sometimes you need a good think. Sometimes meetings distract you. And even off hours, I'm often thinking about how to do stuff. A problem at work, I might set aside, have a good night, and wake up in the morning with a solution.

Anyway this sounds like poor management. I don't have a really great answer on that.

Are intelligent people the only people worth looking out for?

Trending implies humanity cares about it, which to the lowly average-joe means humanity cares about it, so s/he should too. This is the part that feels disingenuous on Facebook's part.

Of course even average-joe knows (though probably can't express) that everything around him just wants to consume his attention, so I'm also not overly concerned about it.
"Today the Bay Area's total employment of 3,353,600 as of the end of March still reflects job growth, with 102,600 workers added from March 2015 through March 2016."

The sky is not quite falling yet. There are many parts of the economy that are stalling and the impact on that is felt in companies that sell products into those markets. How things will develop is anyone's guess. I feel "Tech" will keep growing though some areas that perhaps were historically considered "Tech" might shrink. If you look at all the great things we can do with technology I think a lot of stuff is still ahead of us. It's just the natural way that things don't always go smoothly.
On that note I have to post one of my favorite talks.

Be concerned. Have a plan.

Consider attacking your living expenses. Request a rent reduction from your landlord -- you're a known entity, and they're more likely to offer this if you ask than if you don't, and them more they've heard that request. Look at roommate situations. Don't make any big purchases. Do put away an emergency stash.

One of the big problems the Bay Area faces right now is one that attacks its ongoing attractiveness as a tech hub: technical labour is losing its flexibility. Employment is contracting, slightly, but housing is so expensive that virtually nobody has any personal runtime if the paychecks stop. A considerable exodus from the area may make it less attractive in future. It's one thing to take a new job down the street, or even switch between San Jose and SF or SF and Oakland. It's another to shuttle back and forth, with household wares, from Cleveland to Palo Alto, every 6-18 months.

It's also an opportunity for a new low-cost hub to establish itself. One with what makes SV tick, but doesn't have its problems.

Unfortunately, most of the candidate destinations lack the legal environment, particularly labour law, which made SV so attractive. It's possible locations outside the US might emerge, though I'm not sure where that might be either.

I'm not calling the end of SV, that would be idiotic (until its not, at which point it will be inspired). But the hub is entering a period of distinct vulnerability.
Hi, I'm a gainfully employed translator of Japanese and linguist.

Short answer: the sentence is fine as it stands, although your alternative is equally grammatical (if less idiomatic - "学校へ行かない" gets about 1/4 of the ghits of "学校に行かない" by my count, and personally I'd never use へ).

Long answer:
Japanese draws a distinction between verbs of A→B movement (e.g. 行く to go; 引っ越す to move house; 移動する to move/change location) and verbs that describe the manner of motion (e.g. 歩く to walk; 走る to run). The A→B verbs can happily take an indirect object complement (a に phrase) as the destination, because there's really no other possible meaning. You can't "go for school", as you put it.

Verbs of motion, on the other hand, are less flexible. These can't take an indirect object complement, and need a more expressly destinatory case (think へ、へと、まで). The reason for this is that a change of location is not implied in the verb, however counterintuitive that might seem to an English speaker.

Interestingly, motion verbs can take a direct object (を), such as in 街を歩く 'to walk around town'. Another indication that they're not strictly destinatory. Also they can take adverbs that further qualify motion, such as ぽつぽつ歩く 'to dawdle/mosey/toddle'(? tough to translate), whereas 行く can't. A→B verbs can however take adverbs that qualify the speed, like ゆっくり行く 'to go unhurriedly' - but this is different from ゆっくり歩く 'to walk in a slow manner'.

This is my first ever comment on HN so I've tried to be as informative as possible... If you have any counterexamples I'd be happy to try to explain them.

Yeah, I looked at SuTime, but it fell down on many common cases (the CoreNLP online demo is actually integrating SuTime into the annotations it produces).

Another option is Natty [1], but it also seems to fail on the same examples. Natty at least has an ANTLR grammar that's reasonably easy to understand, though.

If you want to be able to focus on lifestyle, you must have the business success part pretty well sorted out. Otherwise, how would you be able to underwrite all of the activities and profit sharing you describe?
The proper allocation of tips left with a credit card are trivially auditable by the IRS, and indeed is one of the Small Business Division's focus points when auditing restaurants.

It's not just a tax matter; if the audit uncovers fraud, they refer the case to the DOL and the DOJ.

Fun fact: coal is produces more pollution of all types ranging from radioactivity to CO2 to metals to acid rain generators (SOx/NOx) to ozone (NOx again) to black carbon aerosols (or even black carbon on snow!). Coal extraction is bad for workers and the environment, and it's often dangerous to mine. It is the worst energy technology period.

We're playing stage 3 of Power Grid, and coal is already getting more expensive. Let's just stop burning it now please.

Also we should leave some coal around just in case we destroy society and our descendants need to bootstrap a civilization again. It's hard to do that without an easily accessible fossil fuel.

Knowing the rules is not the same thing as having formal training.

With then-innovated art like Cubism, which in some sense broke earlier rules, the point is that those artists, like Picasso, were able to do representative art in correct proportions -- they were just going beyond that.

This is a nontrivial issue, because there are always students who think they can skip learning boring mundane old fashioned art and go straight to something like cubism, but in 99% of cases that doesn't work well at all compared with learning "the rules" first.

With writing, many great writers have broken "the rules" with punctuation, spelling, grammar, etc. But the important thing is that they do so on purpose.

Whereas if one doesn't know the rules in the first place, one doesn't have the choice of whether to follow them or break them.

Such a person will always break those rules they don't know (subconscious knowledge counts btw) -- but not for aesthetic reasons, only out of ignorance.

In my experience only incompetent managers ask you to account for your hours for anything other than hourly billed client work.

The best projects I've worked on had:

* A manager who was technically literate.

* The tasks were documented and specified clearly.

* The project plan was prepared by a knowledgeable planner and thus realistic.

* Our weekly progress meeting focused on addressing the delay causing stumbling blocks.

My days as an employee are over. As a consultant, I bill for the completion of specific deliverables. I simply decline business from potential clients who demand an hourly rate. I just can't be bothered doing time-sheets and justifying why something took more time than planned. Occasionally I do underestimate the amount of effort a deliverable requires. That's the cost of doing business on my terms.

FWIU, drivers don't have to specifically support Wayland. As long as they support Khronos's EGL spec, wayland will run on those drivers.

The reason for this is contextual (internet posts), not grammatical. You'll get more results if you remove the polite ending and/or the topic particle (try "来週学校に行かない").
Focus really hard on getting 3-6 months of living expenses saved up as an emergency fund. It's more important than paying back the student loans. Pay the minimums required until you have a safety net and then you can turn back to paying off debt. Interest rates are historically low, it's not worth racking up credit card debt if things go wrong.

Systems Thinking and simulations show why aging is such a great idea. Death energizes reproduction and renewal so that no particular pattern can dominate and experimentation and adaptation are organic components of continuation.
A lot of these need to be updated. For one, they don't follow PEP8.

Secondly, unfortunately, the signal thing doesn't work on Windows and the threading thing is a bad example because it simulates multiplication, but if you actually had a CPU intensive task, there would be no performance benefits.

They're dangerous.

US roads are full of large vehicles and plenty of distracted drivers. In sf, you appear to be able to kill bikers and walk away with a ticket unless you're grossly negligent.

The biggest thing a car has over this is 2k+ pounds of crumple zone surrounding you to take one for the team.
That's the big issue. Multiple $Ks/mo in rent, if you haven't already built up a nice nest egg, make it really hard to ride out a period of unemployment. (And, indeed, make it really risky to bet on something coming along if there's a general downturn.)

I'm less convinced of the uniqueness of SV and the role of labor laws. Places like Massachusetts are doing pretty well these day. (And, indeed, housing near the city isn't cheap either.) This in spite of EMC and certain other employers torpedoing anti-non-compete legislation. But, then, a lot of Boston-area employers don't necessarily put non-compete's in place even though they're more enforceable than in CA.
That's interesting. I feel a lot of people are arguing that engineers will largely be safe and will fare any trouble better anyway being in a higher income percentile.

As far as I can tell, this doesn't include SSDs. Spinning drive shipments are down -- I say GOOD RIDDANCE!

I run a repair shop, and one of the top computer repairs we do is to upgrade a spinning disk to a SSD.

A 240GB SSD runs $60-$65 these days, and is perfectly adequate for 99% of users. For that other 1% (which I include myself in) 512GB is adequate for 90% of those.

HDD -> SSD is the single most cost-effective upgrade most people can do to breathe new life into an older computer. Going from a spindle drive to a SSD in most computers decreases boot time from ~4 minutes to ~30 seconds. Browsers load faster, videos don't stutter as much, the computer runs more silently. These are the issues most people care about.

A SSD upgrade means a 2010 MacBook Pro now has another 2-3 years of life, which is awesome news to most of the people we serve (who are often college students just trying to make it through college without their computer dying on them.)

I hope to see this chart go to 0 in the next few years as SSDs continue to decrease in price; this doesn't mean much bad news for the "PC industry", just ancient relics of a bygone age finally dying (and/or becoming super-niche for things like archiving where data transfer rates don't particularly matter.)

I think tipping is so culturally engrained in America that the odds of us completely switching to a gratuity-included system is about the same as switching to driving on the left side of the road. Americans will always lament tipping, but Americans will always view tipping as leverage over the restaurant. Americans want to have their cake and eat it too (no pun intended).

I certainly want to see the practice end--I'm constantly reminded by Larry David's awkward tipping interactions in Curb Your Enthusiasm. Ending tipping will require a lot of mindshare among restaurants for it to work. For the most part, these restaurants are special snowflakes, and I don't think the practice will become mainstream anytime soon.
Not just well conditioned, but special orthogonal.
The reason I'm still a developer in an office is that it pays a shitload of Enterprise(TM) dollars into my bank account. I can work my guts out from 8.30 to 5, get a fuck load of code written at someone else's expense, and then down tools at 5pm and go play with my kids and watch GOT.

More money, more spare time, more motivated, less stress.

This strikes me as a fight-club-esque semi-motivational bunch of tripe. The only thing of value in the article is the following paragraph: "If you aren’t finding time every day, in some way, to inspire yourself, to drive yourself to work on things from the heart that help you learn and grow in powerful way, then you’re holding back."
