Contract Law != Markets.

It can certainly be pushed onto the runway. Whether it flies or not depends on whether anyone wants to buy it, and that depends on whether what's behind it is worth buying. All markets do is find a price for you based on supply vs demand (with some complexity due to monetary distribution behind the scenes.)

There is nothing stopping startups coming up with their own forms of share holding (cf facebook for example). In general the ones that will be able to pull it off will be the ones everybody wants to own a piece of.

All contracts are after all is an agreement between two parties - in this case, copied and pasted from extremely hazardous shipping agreements used in 18th century when the chances of a ship coming back at all weren't that good, press gangs were being used to crew naval shipping, and the entire clearing system for the London Banks was being run by their clerks in a backroom bar in a pub on Lombard st. Times change. It took them fifty years, but eventually the bank managers noticed.
No reason why this could not keep accelerating thanks to effects from MS.

That seems a little optimistic to me. With LinkedIn in such a dominant position, there is only so far for them to grow in user numbers. That means they need to increase revenue-per-user as well to maintain anything like that kind of growth, but again there is only so far you can push with things like advertising rates before your customers can get better returns on their budget from other channels.
Please read what I wrote again. I said nothing about flying from NYC to Europe or LAX to Asia. The point is that you can fly supersonic from NYC to Asia and from LAX to Europe.
NYC and LA are huge markets, and probably where you'd expect a lot of people willing to pay the extra cost of supersonic flight.

NYC to London wasn't enough of a savings with the Concorde for many people. NYC to Tokyo/Shanghai/Beijing/Sydney/Singapore/Seoul/Mumbai would probably have more value, for example.

Also, LAX to London or Paris is about 10.5 hours. I'd think a market that cuts that to under 5 hours would exist.

> [...] provide atomic operations on stacks and queues, such atomic operations cannot be combined into larger atomic operations

Questions aboud.

Is this about combining operations and then reducing them to a single atomic (read intel's TSX) primitive? Or is it about batching them together?

This is inspiring. Composability means so much more than just chaining things together. I believe type systems should carry way more information about orthogonal properties (can it block? is it associative, commutative? what does it want to be prefetched? does it contain locks? does it contain atomic operations?)

I believe it will be great for whole industry, because microsoft money pushed Likedin to more user and developer friendly environment (Yes, I suppose they will open API again aka twitter). Better API will bring more business tools integration, so it increases role of Linkedin, as result it will push the whole social media market to a new level, instead current stagnation.

1 Thing You Need to Do to Be a Successful Trader
CTO is a coding role. Also, coding roles are less valuable than CTO roles.

If you like the money, keep the money and do your job well.

If it's not about the money, get a coding role somewhere and know that your goal is to be a great coder, not to work up the company ladder.

Being a coder is great, but realize that different jobs have different work and different values attached to them. Make sure what you want to be and what you do are aligned correctly so that you get what you actually want.

It seems like what you think you want, what you are working towards, and what you are really doing aren't aligned.
Ideology and resources are an intertwined pair. Ideologies are exploited to gain resources. E.g. Islamic terrorism is a selected and nurtured subset of Islam for negative memes as a side effect of conflict of oil. The large, underlying cultural ideology is "we need lots of transportation."

I actually think understanding of this sentiment has declined over time. It's been around with a name since the days of the Jargon File (http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/H/hack-mode.html), but the general trend seems to be towards not supporting it at work or realizing how universal it is among programmers.

I'm not quite sure why; I assume it's partly that software development is less unified these days, and perhaps partly that day-to-day coding is way less stateful than it used to be. If someone is juggling register addresses all day, I imagine they'd be especially quick to condemn interruptions.
Carefully vetted? I don't have the time right now but there are countless weird, insulting, offensive phrases possible with this proprietary abomination.
> Rust can be seen as a language that does not enforce memory correctness with a memory correctness tool bundled into the compiler.

What you call "memory correctness" is extremely valuable, but isn't correctness (in the software verification sense). Correctness is an external property of an algorithm. There are very few languages that can even express correctness properties. Correctness means something like: "every request will retrieve the relevant user data"; not: "the request will not fail due to a dangling pointer reference".

> I don't think we should be discouraging people from trying to make that jump out of C for our infrastructure

But I'm not discouraging people to move out of the C infrastructure. I want people to write new infrastructure. I just think it's a waste of effort to rewrite old infrastructure in new languages. To use your analogy, people want to rebuild the same mud huts just out of better mud. I say to them: what do you want? Do you want better mud huts? Then reinforce what you have; it will be a lot cheaper. But if you want to build something from scratch, why not build something new? Why spend the development budget on what is essentially maintenance? I don't know if that would be worth it, but at least it seems more worthwhile than re-implementing 1960-70s design with 201x materials, when we can make sure those mud huts stand long enough until we do come up with something new.

Pico Digital | Onsite in San Diego, CA | full-time mid-career and entry level

We build television cable head-end systems using C++11 and embedded Linux platforms. Our current major technology development is the PD1600 platform (http://www.picodigital.com/product-details.php?ID=PD1600), which is a 16-blade system networked with a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet switch and a lot of FPGAs and additional processors. We move lots of video around over RF (cables) in several formats and IP (UDP/Ethernet).

At Pico, we have a preference for hands-dirty C/C++(11) programmers, but also like polyglots.

If interested, please email jobs@picodigital.com and mention hacker news.
A benefit not reflected straight in the gdp are increases in welfare due to decreases in prices from competition.

Because the law and its outcomes shouldn't depend on the beliefs of one wealthy person. It's just coincidence that you (or whoever) agree with him this time; next time he may be persecuting someone you think is innocent.

But the fact that you or I think they are innocent or guilty shouldn't even be relevant. We're not the jury, we didn't hear attorneys from both sides in a legal process, etc. We need to support a fair process, the rule of law not the rule of wealthy men or the angry mob.

I may think someone is guilty of a crime, but that doesn't mean I should shoot them or otherwise abuse them.
Even though Haskell is one of the less popular languages being used, just look at the online Haskell community vs the online Java community and it quickly becomes apparent that even a below-average Haskell programmer would be much more motivated and knowledgeable than the vast majority of Java programmers.
I like where this is going - you want to apply some pressure to organizations to set up internal incentives that push for longer-term thinking. But if the value of being on the LTSE is that it sends a signal that your org is optimized for the long term, couldn't you accomplish some of that function with a voluntary certification process, instead of a whole new stock exchange?

Like, why not just publish a version of the famous Joel Test (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000043.html), but for management incentives compatible with long-term thinking? Then companies can submit to voluntary review (maybe with a nominal fee) by your Long-Term Business Bureau, and you can issue certifications for ones that meet certain standards. Your go-to-market strategy is the same - you can target mid-sized startups that are looking to differentiate themselves and hoping one or two of them grow into norm-setting behemoths, but you don't have to ask those companies to jeopardize their (and their investors') liquidation strategies.

First off, IANAL and this is not legal advice, you absolutely should consult an attorney.

> The work that I produced for them is still mine, as no copyright transfer has been signed.

That is likely untrue. If it was made while you were an employee, during the scope of your employment, in the US (rules in many other places on this point are likely to be similar, but may differ in important ways) it would seem to meet the definition of a "work made for hire" which would be owned by the employer unless there was a signed agreement to the contrary.

> It's not legal to work only for equity in my country, there's a minimum wage, and each employee has to be registered and tax paid on them to the government.

Depending on the laws of the jurisdiction where you are working and the laws of the jurisdiction where the firm is incorporated, as a person with knowledge of this violation, and/or as an employee with knowledge of this violation, and/or as a corporate officer with knowledge of this violation, you may well have legal obligations to (1) bring the violation to the attention of the government, and/or (2) bring the violation to the attention of the corporation's board of directors. You may be liable for sanctions if it later becomes discovered that you knew (and maybe even, as a corporate officer, reasonably should have known) about the violation and did not fulfill those obligations.

For that reason, I would recommend consulting with an attorney as to your options, and the risks and benefits of each, in this circumstance.

I suggest that once you get to the senior manager level on both tracks they generally start to merge as both become less focused on technical minutiae and more focused on product planning and execution.

I've used it in the past (and also contributed some patches), it has some roughness around the edges, but it works far better than Neo4J.

It handles far bigger dataset than Neo4J (even if performances are not great) and it is easier to use and maintain.
I don't understand what's wrong with the article headline. For years, the theorists were ahead of the experimentalists and were just waiting for the Higgs to be confirmed while they simply speculated about what might be next.

This, for the first time in a long time, would put experimentalists ahead of theorists. That could easily 'crack wide open' a new set of theories to explain the possible particle. Hardly click-bait here, IMO - the content is sufficiently exciting relative to the headline.

An angle I haven't seen anyone mention:

They now own Lynda.com, one of the strongest software and general education entities out there. This gives them not only a channel for promoting their own software (or providing some really comprehensive integrated help/training), but an insight into what kinds of software and other training people are putting time into.
Your reply seems to indicate that this is a yawn, but while the article is a bit hyperbolic, it seems to me that experimental evidence of a new, hitherto unforseen particle is about as disruptive of an event one can expect in particle physics, no?
How are you attributing gullibility to market demand? Maybe Apple dropped the VGA port because their customers didn't need them anymore, and HDMI is prevalent almost everywhere now, so that's suitable. Also, I have an HDMI port on my MacBook, so I don't need an external plug. On the smaller ones, sure, but maybe those users rarely, if ever, connect? I'm not a huge fan of needing a dongle to do this stuff, but for the infrequency with which I need to do it, I don't mind having the dongle if the trade off is a lighter machine the rest of the time. Maybe that makes me gullible.
Yes, they allow longer things.

For example they block "donald trump lying". They block "hillary clinton lying", but they allow "hillary clinton lying for 13 minutes".

There are exceptions to every rule, but I'd say within the context of "jobs at existing large employers of MBAs and/or Engineers" the true intersection of engineer & business is nonexistent.

Games are one-off code written in memory unsafe languages. They are usually a pile of hacks and bugs. Reset from known state is a nice, foolproof way to recover from problems, and reduce the likelihood to reach edge cases.

I mean, yeah, when a game does allow bypassing load screens, it is pretty amazing bonus to game play: its the key to success in games like Super Meat Boy, to constantly maintain flow through failure and difficulty. But its hard.

I've long thought that an even better way would be a strong curve in the capital gains tax structure. Currently, if held ,1yr it counts as ordinary income, >1yr gets cap gains treatment of 28%.

Better would be something like the following holding periods and tax rates (obviously a mere sketch subject to tuning):

<1 minute = 95% cap gains tax rate

<1 hour = 80%

<1 day = 70%

<1 week = 60%

<1 mth = 50%

<1 qtr = 40%

<1 year = 30%

<2 yrs = 20%

<5 yrs = 10%

<10 yrs = 5%

>10yrs = 0

The short end would eliminate the volatility, unfairness and flash-crashes created by submillisecond trading. The encouragement to the longer end would get everyone to think longer-term. The 0% for decade+ holdings would prevent a lot of silliness around inheritance (e.g., you inherit a few shares from your grandfather, and have no records or reasonable way to figure the cost basis, but are required to assert one).

Of course, I doubt it would happen because it isn't in the short-term interest of the bankers.

They even have their internal Haskell compiler which IIUC gets fed a dialect in order to have strict evaluation and a couple other non-standard properties. One nice thing the ecosystem got from their internal team is the official Shake implementation, which supersedes the various 3rd-party implementations and actually works really well. It even can interpret Ninja files, so it can be used in place of ninja when building things like Cmake-based projects or, say, Chromium. Not that there much of a reason to use Shake when you use Ninja, but you can and some of the reporting features might be exclusive to Shake. Usually you write a Shakefile.hs (instead of Makefile) and run it with shake.

I think if you graduated a class of TeMBAs right now, they would have jobs just because of the MBA side of the equation.

And, I think they would kick-ass in what ever job they take because of their tech skills. Even stooping as low as to say that their Excel skills would rock because they know how to masterfully program macros.

But WOW, yes, if someone like Google got behind a program like this, it would take off like nobodies business.

But I think we really need to get regular businesses (Davids, not Goliaths) behind this. And somehow, show them the benefits of a well rounded TeMBA graduate.

I'm not entirely sure if you're referring to 'your competitors' to mean 'other recruiters' (not sure you realized I'm a recruiter), but my comment here actually is referring to job seekers interacting directly with potential employers without any recruiters involved.

I agree entirely with your second point. Identifying myself as a recruiter immediately is the end of conversation with many in the industry due to the actions of a growing percentage of recruiters. It's unfortunate, and one reason I'm expanding business into consulting with companies to help them attract job seekers without using recruiters. Candidates these days are often inclined to go directly without a middleman.
