I did read the whole article (and found it fascinating) but don't feel that either of those things equate to "demanding loyalty"

Encouraging employees to interview elsewhere seems to be the exact opposite of demanding loyalty. To my mind it is like saying "we are willing to compete for your loyalty"

If you look elsewhere in this thread it is estimated that senior engineers tend to make $400k ... which is 400% of the 75th percentile of the Canadian wage http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/report-eng.do?area=9219&lang=eng&no...

No bonus doesn't feel like quite as big a deal if you're paid a base-rate of many times more what a bonus would be.

I understand that salaries in SV are higher to begin with, but $400K is likely in the 200% range right?

That doesn't feel like demanded loyalty so much as loyalty purchased at a fair price.

Barking up the wrong tree. Costs are driven down mainly by innovations at the production side not due to consumer behavior.

The cost problem is almost entirely due to myth, paranoia, and authority worship, which means innovation that would drive down costs comes very slowly and painfully. These are the wages of refusing to question dogma.
Hamilton?
Ridiculous. The reason the Bill of Rights was not included in the constitution proper is that the enumerated powers clause states that the federal government is assumed to have no authority other than that explicitly granted to it. The Federalists were concerned that as soon as you started listing rights that were specifically protected, people would get the idea that those were the ONLY rights protected, which was contrary to the principle on which the nation was founded.
But it's not "punishing" people for not being outgoing. This is actually actionable advise: if you network isn't hot, start lower, and warm it up first. It's hard, yes, and if you're really socially awkward, it will take some training to get used to. Nobody says you'll have to enjoy it, but sometimes the path to success have some unenjoyable steps along the way.
We've always had our own hand-rolled CMS in Django (mainly because Django CMS didn't exist when I started).

Last time I looked at Django-CMS I found the UX of the admin to be a bit clunky - especially as something I'd want to give to clients and their staff. (Bear in mind I find Wordpress admin to be unbearably clunky too)

Just too many things on screen that would require an explanation, a "don't touch that or a "you don't need to worry about that".

Has that changed? What are other people's experiences?

Python Client for FCM – Firebase Cloud Messaging (Android and iOS)
Python client for FCM - Firebase Cloud Messaging (Android & iOS)

Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is the new version of GCM. It inherits the reliable and scalable GCM infrastructure, plus new features. GCM users are strongly recommended to upgrade to FCM.

Using FCM, you can notify a client app that new email or other data is available to sync. You can send notifications to drive user reengagement and retention. For use cases such as instant messaging, a message can transfer a payload of up to 4KB to a client app.

Yeah it is appealing on some levels, and it would be interesting to work there for six months to a year. I wouldn't want to work there for very long though. It would be a nice place to work your ass off for a while with other talented people and save up tons of money, and then when you inevitably burn out and get fired you can take a year off and relax.

I disagree. Most people working on GIL in Python this days are definitely smart, but they're brute forcing the problem.

It's not about writing more code, for me, but about writing smarter code. GCD was, for me, an example of such feat. It introduced an approach that obsoleted thread as a concept you work with

I can't anyone is even disputing the fact that OS X didn't largely benefit from the fact that there was tons of GNU/GPL tooling out of the box that power users could use. Bash? GCC/G++ (before the clang/llvm migration out)? GNU. X-windows (granted I don't think many people used it post-Carbon, but I remember using it on my iBook 266mhz...).

\/ Edit: Mea culpa. IIRC you're right re: tcsh. I haven't used OS X as a daily operating system since first year undergrad (placing that at just under a decade) so afford me some liberties with details, kindly :)
If we assume that the author is following the usual convention of referring to GNU/Linux as simply "Linux", I don't think it's unfair to say that OSX draws heavily from the free software ecosystem. Take a look in /usr/bin on an OSX machine and it's pretty much the free software kitchen sink. Emacs AND Vim even. The only reason Unix is popular for a workstation at all nowadays is because Linux runs everything.

What I want most out of a watch right now is something that for every outward appearance is a normal analog watch, but has a small motor in it to vibrate when my phone receives a notification.

I had a first-gen Kickstarter edition Pebble and for all of its gimmicks, the knowledge that I would feel every notification and also never suffer from phantom vibrations was the part I enjoyed the most. Stylistically I didn't much care for it, and eventually gave it to a friend.

If someone were to just take a normal looking watch and make it vibrate when my phone does, with no other change whatsoever, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Unfortunately for me, they'll never get past the fact that I appreciate watches for their movements. A watch is entirely an aesthetic choice -- you have to want their aesthetic.

I have a 50-year old Rolex Air King (way older than me, family heirloom) and I can't imagine switching to anything else anytime soon. It's simple, no-nonsense and a beautiful watch. I appreciate other, fancier watches and might wear something on the high end for a really posh event, but that's it.
The CMS evolved so much in the recent years :) love the development
I believe GCD actually multiplexes green threads across a pool of posix threads, which wouldn't work for Python because of the GIL.
No-one was forced to migrate to GCC or bash, and they render systems unbootable a lot less often than Pottering does.

> Users' biggest concern is that the software helps them achieve what they want to do.

There are two problems with this assertion: (1) users often don't know what they want to do or what they'll want to do in the future and (2) users don't have the education to understand the freedoms provided by open source / free software or lack thereof.

The situation is similar with automobiles. Until now at least people had the freedom to change the oil or filters by themselves or even do technical repairs. The worst that could happen is a void warranty, which is limited anyway. And people that don't have the technical know-how, such as myself, can go into any repair shop. Doesn't have to be an "official representative" of my car's brand. This in turn keeps prices down. I mean, I can tell you that for my Peugeot, where I live, the prices for both service and components for my car at the local representative are at least 2x or 3x bigger than at alternative and quite respectable repair shops.

Let me put it another way. A proprietary software package doesn't even guarantee that it will still be around and developed in 10 years from now. An open-source software on the other hand might not be maintained in 10 years from now, but people (like a government agency) can always fund further development, if they really, really need it alive. Open source never dies.

> They care about restrictions like DRM...

Again, users don't care about DRM. Because they don't understand it. If they did, they would reject DRM-enabled products.
Being able to translate tech to non-tech people. People who have great ideas and financial backing are fresh meat to technical sales folk, and that is a big stress factor for those who want to genuinely build something cool but don't have the confidence to verbalise their technical requirements. Translating the jargon to make them feel at ease and in control of the next step goes further than you might think.

While I do not know the answer, I do believe it's possible to find one.

Multiple ways.

Using just your database, you can store records when users complete certain actions.

Eg. When a contract is uploaded, modified, when new people are invited to collaborate over it ...

That way you simply query for user actions over a period.

I use Google Analytics to do the same thing via events. Fire events when actions take place, review the data in your dashboard.

I may be biased =) but, I would use django CMS + Aldryn News & Blog, and perhaps Aldryn Jobs to start.

The thing that drew me to django CMS to start with still exists today, which is that django CMS recognizes that Django is a powerful application framework and the CMS embraces this. It also provides powerful front-end editing capabilities for you and your non-technical stakeholders, even for existing Django apps.
That's a good point. Although the VTOL aspect is still very energy consumptive.

I think the fundamental assumption that a team's performance is the sum of the individual players' past record is wrong.

If you studied how a pundit would judge outcomes for these games, I'm sure they'd be talking about current form, whether the players play well together, tactics, playing styles etc. Take England for example, they've given Rooney a far higher score than either Vardy or Kane, even though any sane pundit is clammering for Rooney to not start, saying the other strikers are on far better form and that Rooney's presence detracts from the overall performance of the team.

As a technical project it's pretty cool, I just doubt its accuracy. I guess we'll soon find out!

Interesting! I didn't know that. I wonder if the US system worked like that (pay up front, get reimbursed later) it would have any impact on costs?

I'm thinking it might for two reasons: (1) it pushes patients and providers to lay out costs before starting treatment [in non-emergency cases] and (2) it allows patients and providers weigh the economic costs relative to the potential benefit.

Trying asking what something costs in the US before getting treated and most of the time you'll get a blank look from your doctor's office. Or, they tell you "about $1000" and you get a bill later showing the cost was $7000. It's impossible to weigh the economic costs because you never know them until after the fact.
OP describes two separate aspects of moral hazard. You explain the first "I'll smoke all I want because I'm insured" which OP admits is the less important of the two aspects (although I'd bet most people who have even been uninsured for a period of time can relate to the extra fear of going skiing, renting a moped while traveling, or something similar).

The second aspect is what you cite in your footnote and falls in line with the definition of moral hazard, which more accurately is increased risk-taking due to not directly bearing the cost of those risks. In this case the "risks" taken are, for example, check-ups and preventative treatments which may or may not have a benefit justified by the cost.
Solaris was a much bigger deal than Linux well into the OSX era. In fact if Linux had never happened Solaris would probably still be around and we'd be arguing about how much OS X owes to Solaris and whether it matters that SunOS predated NEXT but Solaris didn't.

Can't weigh in on Mezzanine, and haven't built a site in any in over a year so things may have changed, but the big difference between Django-CMS and Wagtail come down to how your content is modeled. If you're looking to have a page with a variety of widgets that can be mixed and matched, then Django-CMS is probably more suited. If you've got a structured page where your users are going to be filling in predefined fields and the pages have more consistency then Wagtail is probably better.

The backend of Wagtail is completely geared towards authors, and a lot easier to use in my opinion, and it's got a media library built in. Django-CMS extends the standard django admin backend, may require a third party plugin for a media library, and tends to encourage more frontend editing, so authors will more immediately be able to see how a page looks. It also tends to be more flexible and can do more (which may be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your goals). If you need more control over permissioning, workflows, etc. then django-cms may be a better choice.

I personally love both of them, and would recommend either.
It took a long time for FreeBSD to support MS-DOS partitioning, so for a long time you couldn't dual-boot between Windows and FreeBSD without buying a second hard disk. So kids getting started tended to run Linux instead of FreeBSD, and they stuck with what they knew.
There isn't a "path". All versions of the Pebble are still available from pebble.com and the Round version is still the thinnest smartwatch on the market. It runs the same OS and (almost) all of the same apps as the Pebble Time. It's a nice tradeoff to be able to make.

The clunkiness you describe may be because the CMS includes djangocms-admin-styles, which provides a beautiful style- (and behaviour) "sheet" over Django's Admin. Not only does it make admin look nicer, but it also adds touch-capabilities which doesn't really exist in pure Django.
The thing is that football is a time based sport, so draw is an outcome with pretty good chances.
Usually weak teams will try to delay as much as they can to get the draw. Given enough time, the strong team would have much bigger chances to win. Also, depending on the context ( points needed for each time ) a team might have bigger motive to go for a draw than a win.

Predicting outcome possibility in football is a very complicated story, I doubt it can be solved in a simple way like elo ranking the players or teams.

That said, the knock-out phase might be more suitable for that model.

Kudos for the effort anyway, and nice UI.

I don't think cities have the ability to regulate helicopters. Airspace is regulated by the FAA, which pre-empts the states from regulating them further. I remember reading an article about some city where helicopter noise had become a problem and they couldn't do much about it. Although I suppose with enough complaints the FAA might change their rules.
It does if you want to operate your self-flying taxi in an economically sound manner. All the time that it is on the ground it is not making money. Which means you'll be charging it when the number of requested rides is low, so you'll need to make a number (possibly quite a large number) of 15 minute rides before you get to recharge.
"Most people working on GIL in Python this days are definitely smart, but they're brute forcing the problem."

I have no idea how to translate that into the real actions I'm seeing. What is "brute forcing the GIL"?

If you mean "solving the problem in the runtime instead of writing 'better' code", well, per my previous post there are times the "better code" can't be written in Python anyhow, but putting that aside, there's all sorts of reasons to fix things in runtimes rather than require people to "write better code". First of all, you get massive leverage fixing things in runtimes because the improvements directly apply to the staggeringly, incomprehensibly enormous pile of already existing code in the field. Secondly, the "just write better code, everybody" has a multi-decade track record of multidimensional failure in every metric, from code quality, security, performance, reliability, everything. What can work is making correct code easier to write, which doing things like fixing the GIL can for the certain cases where that's a problem; telling everybody to do the harder-but-correct thing does not work at any scale much beyond 1-developer code.

The key point is "With the right idea"

They were told their original idea wouldn't work, and they were put in a highly stressful situation of having to come up with a new idea under a short deadline, with high expectations. It doesn't matter if PG was nice about it, there was an enormous amount of pressure put on them to do something to be worthy of their position, pushed along with the implied message that that's what founders do - they can make magic from thin air, instantly. The cult of the founder. It's no surprise that this made him stressed and unhappy. I wonder how many people have been through the same situation, with YC and beyond, but will not speak out.
