There's a comedy sketch from some group that talks about exactly this phenomenon.

"Your identity has been stolen, sir"

"Uh, I don't believe it has. I'm me, and I always have been."

"Well, no, somebody came in and said they were you, and then they took all your money."

"And you believed them? That was foolish. It sounds like this is a bank robbery to me."

"No, no, no. We didn't get robbed. You got robbed. They took your money."

"But you gave it to them, right? Even though they weren't me. This still sounds like your screw up here."

The title looked suspicious to say the least. Thanks for taking the time to write this.
The individual employee can say that too.

I'm in a highly competitive housing market, and my children are in a highly competitive educational market. A number of interesting projects that won't pay off immediately.

Since when is an individual expected to just defer to a greater good in an employment arrangement? Which is most likely "at-will"?

I'm certain the shareholders and executives aren't making such self-defeating sacrifices.
Yes! People seem to forget how we defeated SOPA in 2012.
Constraints provide freedom.

This is not Orwellian newspeak. In a Turing Machine, everything is possible. But nobody wants to program in it because it's too hard. Same thing with assembly. Everything that the CPU can do, you can do in assembly. But everyone wants out of assembly if at all possible. Why? Because the price for the freedom was too high.

Same thing with jumping to any line in a program. Sure, there are times when it could make your life easier, but they aren't very many. And what's horrible is when someone a decade ago, who doesn't even work there anymore, used it to make their life easier, and you have to figure out their bit of "cleverness". It's worth not being able to do that in order to keep that from being done to you. (This is the way civilized society works, by the way. I give up the freedom to kill random other people in order to not live in a society where I worry a lot about random other people trying to kill me.)

Within the constraints ("I can't do X"), you find two kinds of freedom. First, "I no longer have to worry about somebody else doing X in code that I need to work on". Second, "I gain Y".

For an example of the second kind, garbage collection means that I no longer have to keep track of when I should free memory. By giving up something (the ability to allocate and free memory myself), I gained freedom. This is a net win if I don't need the thing I'm giving up.

You're not trying to write something specific. Give up the things you don't need in order to write the program you're trying to write, if doing so reduces the number of things you have to do in order to write that program. Give up something you weren't going to use anyway in order to have less that you have to do. That's a win.
Agreed. Setting both as a fixed part of your strategy is wrong. Always saying the first number or always waiting for the other one. The more information and leverage and options you have the more you want to say a number. And the other way around.

In a few weeks I will have a job interview but the job is only partly interesting to me. I can earn my money without that job, so I can say no. And the chances that I'm really interested are currently 45% yes to 55% no. In that situation I would either tell him "I'm not interested if you don't give me a high number" or I would tell him something I consider high myself. His starting number is certainly much lower than what I would consider my "yes" range.

You're making my point for me. Demographics matter. The older bubble demographic nearing retirement, and the new bubble demographic is not taking up the slack.

My apologies, I didn't see your other reply before I deleted and reposted the comment. I thought I'd replied to the post and not the comment, so I deleted and reposted, did not realise you had detached it.

I'm sorry for posting low quality comments and won't do it again.

So let's change the expectation. There is a real cost to these "free" services (as has been discussed at length on hn and elsewhere) and this cost is only rising as more and more people block ads. I am looking forward to businesses failing on the ad supported model so that jew approaches are tried instead.

For example, I would pay 99 cents for a full story after reading a teaser if this was easy to do. I'd even buy a membership if I could trust that a news org isn't pushing an agenda (looking at you, NYT, WaPo and many others). Heck, maybe crowdfunding select journalists is the key. I know organizations are trying to think out of the box, but because ads are still giving them a cushion I charge that they are not trying hard enough.

Have a look at the companies listed halfway down the page on http://danieltenner.com/open-cultures/ . Not all qualify as purposeful orgs, but quite a few do. Reinventing Organisations, mentioned on this page too, is a book that studies a dozen examples of purposeful, open culture organisations, if you're interested in learning more about this.
That's interesting. Maybe thats why my VPN worked at a Starbucks down the street but not one in another city I was in. I wonder if this is the same for airports too. I would assume it would be easier to use a VPN if youre in a smaller airport rather than a big national one because of the amount of security however i havent looked in to this
This is the traffic laundering part. From the article:

"visitors are sent to low-end websites. But if you happen to be of high value to the ad tech industry (based on your IP), you’ll be redirected through a loop of various shell websites, spending a fraction of a second on each, in order to increase the apparent quality of these websites’ audience."
You can use cellular networks or satellite(Exede/HughesNet). With the cellular, you will get less bandwidth, but lower latency. Exede and Hughes satellites are in geosynchronous orbit so you will have ~700 ms latency, but higher throughput and higher data caps.
What do you mean by "represent"?
Sure, but you have to look at the target audience, existing .Net developers; these devs in large already use MSBuild. They don't want Maven, they want their existing projects and solutions to simply open, build, and work as is. It's hard enough changing OS's, the last thing they want is for all the tools to change as well.

Doesn't bother me--it's helping some set of people filter through information and remix it as they see fit.

Such things were the founding principles of the Internet, and I don't think the vague bogeyman of "but but but terrorism/racism/whateverism" is worth throwing away something that helps people--even people whom I despise.

It actually just crossed my mind that it might have been an innocent mistake and I came back to the thread with the thought of editing my comment. Sorry for assuming the worst of you! (It's a bias I try not to fall into, but still do.)
In a cartoonishly free market, law frameworks are also commodities, not enforced monopolies. Law enforcement is a paid service; there are no tax revenues to support it.

I didn't read anything that said they left him for half an hour.
1) That is changing, as the hard core cyclists begin to realize that more bikes on the road period means more demand for proper cycling infrastructure (or at least have roads that aren't bicycle hostile -- give me more than an inch beyond the white line).

2) As it gets more popular, hopefully more education will happen. In many cases, you have a seldom used sidewalk that runs for miles next to a bicycle hostile road. Is that a sidewalk or a multi-use path?

3) State laws are catching up -- see the new classification system that California passed (different regulations based on pedal assist vs. throttle, max speed, power, etc). They seem to have struck a decent balance.
Thats actaully what I've noticed too, I believe even Facebook at one point didnt let me log in becasue it kept asking me to verify who i was (granted I was using a VPN at a local Starbucks).
> with other competing offers

The key phrase here.

Always try to get multiple offers! If you can, you're in a much, much stronger position.
This sounds reasonable to me if it is in fact true that they only left him there for a few minutes.

Some would argue that developing a purposeful organisation (whose purpose is not just to make money) actually also produces better returns, but I think the jury's still out on that. There are some striking examples but they might be cases of survivor bias.
Well, its not that hard to imagine. For hundreds if not thousands of years, people has been fighting to the deaths for their lords and kings. A few weekends is nothing really.

I would agree with your first statement "good for learning" if learning would be about maximing each result of a learning experience. But actually learning is more efficient if you do mistakes that you can evaluate and make decisions based on them. And if you don't say a number you don't make a mistake. Therefore I would say that not saying anything may increase your knowledge of your value but it doesn't increase your skill. Saying the wrong number, walking out happily and later learning from a coworker that you earn only 25% of him, then you learn something and look for another job.
The semantic problem here is that there is near-uniform agreement on liberalism in America, when "liberalism" is properly defined as the belief in human liberty, moral equality, and democracy. Since virtually no-one (<5%) in American public life disagrees with philosophical liberalism, we just argue about different strains of liberalism that we call "liberalism", "conservatism", "libertarianism", &c.

The hand at matter is whether it was a personal attack or not, which it wasn't. It's OK to question someone's credentials; nobody is beyond scrutiny. It's not OK to attack his person in order to do so. (E.g. "how can this liberal/short/japanese/cat-loving guy have earned this position").
It isn't just regulatory capture though - permits for taxis carry all sorts of protections for consumers. Those protections are guaranteed by law and I see no replacement for those protections from either Uber or Lyft.

We used to have the free for all we're building towards and we regulated to stop it. Why won't history repeat itself?
> Your salary/equity/etc. vs. your value on your personal life either make overtime worth it or not.

Precisely, in a way.
I was interested to find a book about this as well but came up short. However, these articles might be of interest:

J. Waldbaum, "The coming of iron in the Eastern Mediterranean: thirty years of archaeological and technological research" in The Archaeometallurgy of the Asian Old World (1996).

Thilo Rehren et al, "5,000 years old Egyptian iron beads made from hammered meteoritic iron," Journal of Archaeological Science (2013). Link: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0305440313...

One theory about the origins of black stone embedded in the Kaaba in Mecca (whose worship dates back far beyond Islamic times) is that it's also composed of meteoric material.
I would float to you the idea that what you're reacting to is not necessarily the higher wage but the fact your new employer seems to trust you more and perhaps even care about you more.
I wish GDB is modular, and language supports are just plugins. This way adding language support doesn't have to go through upstream GDB developers
John Rawls is of course the right answer here, but it seems odd that you cite Hayek, Nozick, Sowell, &c., who are all diametrically opposed.

I am looking forward for it, but with Brian Goetz speaking about Java 10+ (note the plus) and Oracle not having a programming language culture, I am not sure they will ever happen in the near future.

IBM also doesn't talk any more about Packed Objects and I don't know if anyone is really paying attention to Gil efforts promoting object layout.

Even the Scala guys are now researching into Scala Native.

I think that when someone rides a bike they become much more aware of cyclists, so getting more people on bikes makes them safer from vehicle drivers.
I don't think social scientists are Marxist in perhaps the sense you understand it. Social scientists don't want to overthrow the bourgeosie so much as they interpret social systems through the machinery of gender, race, and social class. Gender, race, and social class are absolutely necessary to understand contemporary social structures.
"[The Democrats] get you stuff like free healthcare, free college, unemployment insurance, etc."

No offense, but there's something basic that is amiss with a formulation when two thirds of the examples given are political results that have never been delivered by Democrats and the last one, unemployment insurance, was only grudgingly produced under conditions of a) depression b) significant pressure from the socialists on the Democrats' left.
My point is that "founder" is not some distinct species of human that uniquely and intrinsically possesses product sense, future-seeing vision, ability to execute, etc. etc. etc. There are many people out there with these abilities, and they could just as successfully found and grow companies. What sets apart founders is that they have these traits AND have the access to capital and connections that permit them to actually go out and do it.

For example, I would put forward as a basis of argument:

There are many people (thousands?) who, given $1 billion, could go off and build a space program. Elon Musk was actually able to do it though, not because he's a genius (he is), but because he ALSO is super-well-connected and actually could gain access to that $1 billion.
Protections for consumers that apparently comes at a much higher price point, which some consumers may not wish to pay. How is that protection for them?
You are probably trying to show us how bad your employer is. What I'm reading though, is how you should have walked away at least 5 times in the process.

Correct, I believe this was also what I read about how it being more valuable allowed these ancient civilizations who had access to it, to have some more monetary value to their coins and also showed their political influence (Ex: a picture of their leader ) when they traded with other civilizations overseas
Yes, because many of them allocate a zero size array when you call their constructor and then lazily add to it. But that isn't really about object layout as I think of it, so much as what the fields of a particular object are.
Assuming they're right, if you don't store passwords in the clear, you'd have to build all acceptable variants of a password when you get the original, then hash and store all of them, then check them all at next login attempt.

If you wanted to add a new kind of "allowable typo" (eg "correct except with capslock") you'd have to wait until the user next logged in to store that variant.

Java release cycle is ~3yrs so Java 10 will be roughly expected in 2020/21 time frame. And at that point larger ecosystem like Apache etc will start taking advantage of value type. So it is like 6-8 years from now which I would not characterize as very temporary. Also this is assuming Go committer from now onwards just sit and do nothing about performance improvements which again seems quite unlikely.

Java has 15 year head start on Go and if a newer Go GC beats very mature hotspot GC it could either mean Hotspot advantage is largely in theory or it has reached its peak performance and there is not much scope to improve further.

> The doctrine of sola scriptura does not mean all the answers are in the Bible.

Yeah, immediately after I posted that, I wondered if I should clarify that sola scriptura actually doesn't mean that itself, and the "all answers are in the book" approach is actually at best a not-infrequent corruption of a minority approach to what is, itself, within Christianity a minority doctrine, rather than the doctrine itself.

But I figured that the clarification was probably not necessary, and that it was tangential to the point that "the answers are all in the book" isn't some kind of universal, or even general, trait of religious belief.

Still, its well taken.

> It means that when it comes to issues of faith and morals, the Bible is authoritative above all else.

While this is getting a bit far afield, the mere authoritative above all else on matters of faith and morals approach is the doctrine of prima scriptura, which is an alternative to sola scriptura held in some branches of Protestantism.
Yeah that is the old 'total compensation' switcheroo. Where you finish negotiations at what you assume is a salary number, but the employer later claims it was a total compensation number (salary + benefits). When the 'benefits' could change later, or they are accounted for using Hollywood accounting.

Another common one to look out for is 'projected bonus'. Where you find out that you make 1/2 of what you thought you agreed to, but the manager says "Making that much is up to you! You could make that number with bonus" (if you hit your ultra stretch goals that the company could change at any time).

These are both reasons to insist on an offer letter with the salary figure clearly stated. Also pay attention to the background of a hiring manager. This kind of BS mostly comes from people who were previously in a sales role.
