Every single trade you place has several costs associated with it. Things like the direct cost to the broker, and the implied cost of half the current spread. I do not believe that most people have the skill or discipline to understand the difference between happening to make money and properly making money long term.

As for it not being gambling - there's nothing stopping you beating bookmakers. It's doable, but you need to spend an awful lot of time researching sports (or whatever). It's the same with stocks - the vast majority of people are essentially just taking the spread and making expected losses on every trade, which the bookies (market makers in stock terms) soak up. A few people can spot outliers and take only those bets and make money long term.

I stand by my claim. If it's so easy to make money on the stocks why isn't everyone doing it?
TBH, that's a win-win. There's nothing better than being content with what you're paid, and then learning that there's huge upside potential.

The worst thing ever is finding out that you're in the top 2% of salaries for your role in the industry, and then knowing there's nowhere to go but down from there.

I'm 29, experience the same with SC2, it's just not fun if all you can do is to learn the meta and polish your mechanics.

Whatever you build, make sure it's test driven! Nothing beats sitting down to work on your project and the only thing you need to do is to run the test suite to remember what you should work on next. It also helps you chop your project up in fun achievable sized bits. I make it a point ending every session with 1 red test.
The irony is that the laws are intended to protect Somerville's "character" and "charm".

This article lacks some context. The housing market here (I live in Somerville) is red fucking hot. Somerville desperately needs more housing, especially high density housing.

Google reached out to me for a software development position about 9 months ago and the recruiter told me the main contributing factor was GitHub but he ended up making the initial contact through LinkedIn.

I never bothered applying because I didn't want to invest a lot of time preparing for the interview.

I would say keep doing what you're doing, just more of it. It wouldn't hurt to learn languages they use internally too.

I actually think this is important. Working with an asshole is a big problem, and I fully admire leaders who know when it's time to let someone go because the situation cannot improve. It certainly beats working in a caustic environment because people are afraid to fire someone.
Are you saying you can fly coach from SF to Berlin and actually still engage in a "retreat"?
Well, I'm dumb. Of course the firmware has to be embedded in the BIOS or the chip itself, because most machines with Realtek NICs support network booting. Firmware loading in OS drivers probably only delivers updates.

So there is firmware, it can be updated by the OS, we don't know exactly what's inside. Though at least the firmware isn't designed to update the OS as in those Soviet Russia jokes.

For some twilight-zone stuff, check out drug tax stamps (i.e. http://www.ksrevenue.org/perstaxtypesdrug.html)

You have to buy them and place them on your drugs so if you get raided, you can prove that you paid taxes on your supply. There are even folks who collect the stamps.

I agree with you. I have other reasons why I do the job I do, but would never do it if the money wasn't there. At the end of the day, the feel-good nonsense has no place in business decisions, and that really goes both ways in an employer/employee situation. You can like your job, even love it, but if you're not looking at it as a business transaction you will get screwed one way or another. Replay job and it for employee and them, and the same holds for the business. It's a mindset thing, and has everything to do with professionalism and nothing to do with touchy feel goodness. Polite but firm negotiations where both parties feel good with the outcome can be achieved no matter whether you like each other or not. (Although the friction may vary along that axis.)
No sarcasm at all. Child abandonment is clearly bad for the child and can see the parent thrown in jail.

Adoption is the better choice for both parties.

I think you perhaps missed the broader point though.

If you're raising children as servants to take care of you when you're old, then yes, self-interest is a good reason to keep them around. They will also likely act in their own self-interest and ditch you.

Otherwise, raising a child requires a great deal of self-sacrifice with absolutely no guarantee that you'll even get the satisfaction of a job well done. It's a total crap shoot and even the emotional return on your investment is likely to be poor.

Acting only in your own self-interest is a good way to stay single and childless though. At least you'd have plenty of time to read Ayn Rand.

> I don't care about my job, its stakeholders, its values, its products or its customers. It's just a job. I'm a wage slave so I do it for the money and for no other reason at all.

I guess that's what a decade of bad management and shitty start-up/big-corp work does to you. Personally, I'm happy that some people have an optimistic enough view of "the work" to want to change that reality, and make it a positive and good experience when enough money is involved to do so. If you read more into Buffer you will see that it is indeed not your typical company.
> Leo and I are committing $100k each in the form of a loan at the lowest possible interest rate, with repayment only when Buffer reaches a healthy financial position. Savings: $200,000.

Oops. This isn't savings. It's high-priority debt. Investors really want to invest in the future of the company, not the past. If these guys want to serve their company, they'll

(a) write this off their personal books, considering it an unrecoverable cost.

(b) convert it from debt to some kind of warrant giving them the right to recover it from profits at some point in the future.

Who's advising these guys?
let me point out too many people have the down vote. This place is turning into stackoverflow.
Not even, you know that some families aren't so functional and actually very destructive. Children and parents "break up" all the time. Ask anyone who is LGBT for example (especially older and trans).

Also many families have that "one uncle" (or whatever) who is somewhat estranged and isn't invited to stuff.

All without a "super rational techy" view of the world.
The Original Post's final sentence can be summarized as: "Unless evidence to the contrary appears, the fight for privacy in the USA and Europe has been lost." There never was such a fight in China, so neither victory nor defeat can be evidenced for it.
Snif. My feels. Right in the feels! Try as hard as you like though, you cannot make comments like these unproductive!

* You cannot "explore the filesystem". The "files" are really just bookmarks in case you want to switch between different C-like programs to deal with a level. I hate the UI more than you do, but suggestions very welcome.

* You mean "compile" as in, the debugger command? What would you like it to print? Before we split the source editor off into its own page (it used to live in a tab, and it just didn't work), the CLI was an important way to interact with the compiler. Now the command is vestigial. I suppose I could just make it print out the bytecode instructions from the compiler.

* What does "inspect the compiler" mean?

* How can I surface the documentation that explains the relationship between the compiler and the system so that it is more apparent that it exists? It's clear you didn't see it.

* Hate the web interface? You're in luck! https://starfighter.readme.io/ --- skip to "Microcontroller API reference".

* I have a hit list of improvements to the command line, but if you have more suggestions, I'd be happy for them.

* The "latency" you're seeing when you single-step programs is... the network? The clientside UI code?

Just a little, is the answer to the last question.

I appreciate the comment. If downvotes facilitate thoughtful discussion and inquiry, I'm cool with them.

I don't know if I see much of a difference between strategies that work in business, as against strategies that lead to successful, long-term relationships.

If you're in a job where your manager ignores you, rebuffs your efforts for honesty in your communications, and generally treats you poorly, should you maintain that relationship, or break it off?

Is it any different outside of work? If you have a partner who cheats on you, or is sarcastic all the time, or is indifferent to you, I'd say that's another relationship that should be broken off, if it's clear that it cannot be saved.

I agree with flexibility and balance. I also believe in gently confronting people who treat others poorly, trying to correct the situation if possible, and if it cannot, then disengaging.

At 56 years of age, I've come to realize that I do not have infinite time to waste on less-than-strong relationships.

Thanks again for an interesting comment.

Ridiculous, indeed.

My intuition was that the Stirling engine would partially recharge the battery while it runs. If it can truly keep the battery fully charged, that is quite awesome. Time will tell. :)
There was never any team tasked with working on Trident after IE6 shipped till IE7 work restarted; as far as I'm aware, it was always the case that the IE shell was developed relatively separately to Trident, so those who did do all the work (esp. for later XP SPs) probably scarcely had any knowledge of the Trident codebase to really start trying to fix bugs.
If you can come up with a systematic strategy in a one-liner, that gives you consistent, good risk-adjusted returns, let me know as I quite fancy being a billionaire.

Saying that, "Buy Low, Sell High" isn't a bad strategy ;)

Which "load" command? What's the feedback you're looking for?

Did you write a C program, click the compile button, and now want to run it? Just type "run".

There's an in-game reason why we break out the flash/load/exec commands the way we do, but "run" does all the fiddly steps.
My wife and I will be flying to Vienna next month. It's $1,300/ea including the return flight from Copenhagen (price was the same when we priced Munich when we were planning the trip, in case you're wondering about the fare differences between Austria and Germany).

Do you code for your day job, though? Your profile suggests you may be a technical manager. I'm guessing you don't code for 8-10 hours a day, then come home and code for 1-2 more hours[0]? That's the argument the parent is making. I know that I personally am only good for 4-6 hours of productive coding. Any more than that and I write bugs, not code.

I agree the whole family thing is ridiculous. However, the performance focus of Netflix is probably too far on the other end and ridiculous too. People are not machines and performance will not always remain high. And also measurements of performance of people are often silly and useless. Performance will fluctuate and change with time. So a level a loyalty in the face of bad performance is still very advantageous even for businesses.

Some happy medium between family and performance oriented needs to be found.
Relying on natural processes yes there is a problem, but if we were to put WWII levels of resources into it we could create artificial trees [1] while hiding under a short term SO2 umbrella [2]. Of course I doubt we will actually do this.

Note that, as stated, the content of the historical revisions may be missing, but the full lineage will still be there and will be replicated. Actually what happens is that the "_id" field and the "_rev" field (the revision number) will always be present, while the other fields may be removed.

You are also never blocked by a 409. A 409 happens when CouchDB wants to help you reduce the chance that a conflict happens, but you can bypass it and do create a conflict if you don't want to be bothered. In fact, that's how replication works and the only way conoflict do happen: when two dbs replicate to each other, they may have a different history for the same document, but the two histories are sent to the other side so that each side can have all the timelines. You have to use another, non-obvious endpoint for that, see http://docs.couchdb.org/en/1.6.1/replication/conflicts.html?...:

So this gives you a way to introduce conflicts within a single
database instance. If you choose to do this instead of PUT, it means
you don’t have to write any code for the possibility of
getting a 409 response, because you will never get one. Rather,
you have to deal with conflicts appearing later in the database,
which is what you’d have to do in a multi-master application anyway.

I am trying to learn about the business habits in the Valley. I wish someone could inform me.

To answer your question, obviously I am not from the valley, i run my own business, it is quite profitable, i don't do retreats, and i fly quite a bit, always coach. So if i ever organised a retreat, i would expect everyone to fly coach. Hence my question.
Why are you saying something like it is always true when it is only true given a certain clause is present? It says right in your link that that's only possible when your employment contract says it's possible. Seems dishonest of you.

I never saw anything like this when I worked at an early stage startup, and it's obviously something an employee who reads their employment agreement would ask to be taken out. I'd never work at a company with that clause.
This is necessary for stock options to work properly. The whole point is to make sure people want to stay and make a profitable company, not that they ditch the instant the stock passes some threshold.

On the other hand, this can lead to disaffected employees who are only staying with the job because they are waiting for their options to mature.
> I understand that there currently isn't a target for Docker so that takes Google Cloud out of the equation.

Google Compute Engine runs a lot more than just Docker images. It allows you to run arbitrary x86 VMs, just like EC2. It is not based on Xen, however (it is a combination of KVM and a non-QEMU VMM about which I wish I could say a whole lot more, but I don't think we're prepared to do that just now).
It's a shame that we can't move past this attitude on HN. Sure, it might be a difficult problem, but we learn nothing from "be afraid unless you are willing to be a full-time gambler."

Enter on blank lines: easy enough, will do.

Putting the compiler in the debugger was how it used to work. Everyone hated it. Also: it's using Ace, which really grinds Chrome. I can easily add a pure textarea tab that will let you edit code, if you _really_ want it.

To run a C program, do one of two things:

* Compile it in the source editor, which will generate a blob of compiler output (which is deliberately not documented) that the browser will cache.

* Use the "flash" command to write it to SPI flash.

* Use the "vmload" command to send a SPI message to the AVR to reload the program from the SPI flash.

* Use the "vmexec" command to send a SPI message to the AVR to execute the program.

OR

* Compile it in the source editor

* Type "run", which does all the rest of those things.

I like Microcorruption's UI, too. I gave this one more to do. I agree: it's not there yet! Working on it. How elaborate do you want the web-based debugger built on this API to be? :)

(I'm serious: thanks for the feedback. This section of the thread is the stuff I was hoping to get).
