I'm sorry if LinkedIn doesn't provide the analytics these companies desire, but LinkedIn already provides that functionality itself.
That is the most insane rule I have ever heard. Salary is not related to search time, demand is.

I know if programmers making 100k find a new job in a week, and factory workers making 30k take 2 years to find a job. I don't have enough data to back up the exact "rule of thumb", but I would eat my shoe if it looked anywhere close to 1 month per 10k of salary.
No, not full stop. Just because raising kids, being a police officer, digging a ditch is "hard work" doesn't free someone from having that work criticized.
Steve Jobs and Tenacious Caring
To make food at home, you either need fresh, perishable ingredients and/or time to prep and cook. Even accessing fresh ingredients may be a hassle (see: food deserts), so eating off the dollar menu often feels like a better use of your money than making the trek to the grocery store to buy some perishables that you then have to cook before they go bad.

It's similar to why poor people buy poor-quality shoes more often, as opposed to one high-quality pair once a year.

EDIT: or cars. Poor people buy cars that are in poor condition because that's all they can afford, and they spend more money on it overall than if they could've gotten a better-quality car instead. It's expensive to be poor.
I assumed they were being sarcastic, but it seems not...
Yes.

It used to be that the left was anti-authoritarian and the right was authoritarian. Libertarians were extremely anti-authoritarian. What has evolved, however, was that "soft" libertarianism got co-opted by the right. The left also co-opted libertarians, but not to the degree the right did. As the right gained more libertarians, it gave up some of its boardroom elitism. The result here was that the right's base become less elite while the left's base became more elite. (Because in the disparity of how both sides appealed to the libertarian center. In addition the left was naturally filled with smaller, more organized and fervent groups around a single cause, while the right had a broader base)

Then both the right and left became more and more authoritarian (along with the associated in-and-out clanning behavior) What with endless wars and the security state, I think we're seeing the end of the ride for the natural libertarians on the right. Perhaps the left too. Remains to be seen.

It will be interesting to see if the coming election involves a split in either/both major parties, and if so, along what fault line that split occurs.
These all look really bad on my Win 10 + Chrome machine. It's like the clear type settings aren't working right? Every font has a very fuzzy/blurry edge. Really weird. It's almost like it's rendering small and blowing up. Rather than rendering large and anti-aliasing.

Good question. Clinics are more hygienic (reducing the chance of blood transmission during birth), provide ARVs pre-birth (reduces HIV viral count), and give Nevirapine at birth (giving this to newborns immediately after birth is the biggest individual step that can reduce transmission).

It is right to be skeptical of using the actual compound with its negatives (for instance, the hallucinogenic / dissociative properties of ketamine and the neurotransmitter depletion of MDMA.)

However, it is possible that illegal recreational compounds can shed some light on body chemistry, and I think that's what happened here. The "ketamine is an antidepressant" story has been around for a while. It was considered kind of a deal because everything about depression previously dealt with serotonin, and ketamine clearly has nothing to do with serotonin.

Consequently there's people working on compounds with similar actions, but without ketamine's ill effects. The closest one I know to production is this one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapastinel

Which, as a Phase III "breakthrough candidate", still has a long way to go, of course.

This new study is significant, though, if it is not the NMDA receptor that is really creating ketamine's anti-depressant effects. It may allow for alternate compounds to be explored beyond even what is being worked on now.
They used to type in short (3 or 4 digits) codes for the products at Aldi in Germany maybe 10 years ago. I assume they did this because the scanner technology was not as fast. The cashiers memorized the codes and were crazy fast.

>I will say that 3 months of severance for folks who involuntarily leave, and 2 months for folks who voluntarily leave is very generous for a company that is in trouble. It's very close to industry leaders like Netflix and Zappos, and much more than they would need to do.

Not really. This type of layoff (more than 50 people, and an entire location) would seem to qualify under the WARN Act (60 day minimum notice.) So two months full pay in lieu of notice would be the minimum.

As for the voluntary leaving...well, why would anyone leave voluntarily unless there was a sweetener?
You can easily find millions of people with serious health problems due to coal waste. The problem is so bad that it's recommended that sensitive populations limit their intake of seafood because of the mercury in it, much of which comes from coal. How many can you find with serious health problems due to nuclear waste? How many large categories of food have cautions on them for children and pregnant women due to nuclear waste?

You can talk about possibilities all you want, but the fact is that as they are done coal waste is a lot more dangerous. So it's weird to put so much emphasis on closing nuclear plants first.
It's fine with a reasonable amount of weight - I'd have to ask Sandy how much weight Marty can take before he physically can't move, but a touchscreen should be fine, and won't disrupt his walking ability much. Of course you could re-plan his walking with the weight taken into account, but that's quite complex. We'll probably have standard mounting holes on top of his head, so should be a nice and easy hack :D

> A bad string type

It's only bad in the sense that it's inefficient. It's preferable to most other string types in many ways. It's also totally reasonable to have in the prelude: [] is there, and Char is there, so really all they've done is slapped the two together. The current situation (importing ByteString or Text for performance) is pretty good IMO. Haskell doesn't have Map or Set or anything in the prelude, so I think it's reasonable to leave powerful packed text types out as well. In fact, I would even support leaving [] out of the prelude and making the import of Data.List explicit.

> lots of partial functions are legitimate red flags

This is true, but the fact that we're even complaining about this is a first-world problem. Other languages have partial behavior built in to the language. Try going to a python or java developer and telling them "array access should return an optional type instead of throwing an exception on out-of-bounds". This is totally reasonable to deal with in Haskell, but inconceivable in other languages.
Hey I'm not saying that's right. All I'm saying is that responding to Fukushima by shutting down the second safest form of energy production (according to the IPCC), which also happens to emit no CO2, is a special kind of stupid.

That is a myth. I have trouble wrapping my head around the fact that Americans tend to thing they spend such huge amount of money on social services and welfare. You don't okay. Look at the statistics and try to travel a bit. For people who have actually been around the world, it is blindly obvious that America isn't spending much money on its poor.

America has the highest level of inequality of any rich country. Look it up.

Ok by Indian and Chinese standard, America is probably extremely generous and that seems to be the standard which many American conservatives measure American efforts towards the poor. If it is significantly better than India or some other dirt poor third world country then it must be great.

Seriously America is one of the richest countries in the world and yet I've never been to a developed country where you see so much depravity, poverty and people struggling all in the midst of opulence. Kind of sick that people tolerate this.
Yes, it's extremely profitable after X years (after the infrastructure is all paid off), but lowering those profit margins would only make it more difficult for new players to enter the market. If profit margins weren't high, it would essentially be impossible to recoup that initial capital expenditure.

Aside from that, if you're anything like us, you will be reinvesting those profits into expanding and growing your network.

> Apple has a history of making false promises in regards to open sourcing products

No, not true at all. iMessage was never promised, mentioned, or even hinted at being open source. Also, on the FaceTime from they said that the underlying protocols would be submitted to standards bodies as an open standard - that's a completely different things from open source. And the reasons that Apple didn't wind up doing that are well known (lawsuit from patent trolls).

Sounds like you have an axe to grind or only listen to people who do...

Yeah you get nice numbers if you ignore the total energy usage. The numbers you gave are only one fifth of Germanys total energy consumption. I was off by 2% though, 3% is covered by renewables. We are not only talking electric, but total energy: heat, oil etc.

> Moving is not a major defense if your easy to find

Based on practitioners and experts I've read, finding ships is very difficult. The ocean is a huge place; remember there's far more ocean than land area. Imagine if you were told that somewhere in North America there's an object the size of an aircraft carrier, and it's moving around. How hard would it be to find it? The Pacific is much larger (though if there's a war over a contested location, the search area becomes much smaller).

Also, there are not nearly enough resources to watch the whole ocean at once. The U.S. military can't even monitor all of Afghanistan, or even all of contested regions in Afghanistan.

My point in less words: The big guys (ISPs and content providers) all share revenue already and will continue to. This ruling shuts the little guys out of that action forever under the guise of consumer interest, rendering them permanently less competitive. That's bad.
No. Well, maybe, if you're using one of the most popular fonts, but each combination of weights is a seperate CSS file, that's probably a unique combination and only cached for 24 hours. A reason not to use Google fonts is that it's just another tracking tool in their arsenal. For each request, cookies are sent to Google's servers, so they have enough reason to avoid cache hits.
I feel that they should have included more otter and weasel pictures. Because otters and weasels are super cute.
I don't think this is absurdly reductionist. As someone born in a poor country, my family's income was barely $2000 per year. Even allowing for a conversion factor of 10 while going to the USA, that is less than half of 50k.

So it might be worth mentioning that this young man has a lot of advantages merely by being born in an average household in a first world country, and being located close enough to Princeton so he could talk to professors there, etc. That should not detract from his achievements, but maybe it can help put them in some kind of perspective.
I've never heard that happening. Usually those systems prevent scanning the same barcode in short succession and cashiers have to manually enter the amount if more than one is bought.
The interesting thing about luck is that you can make it yourself. In this case both Randy Brown and his mother worked extremely hard and smart to bring around circumstances where something that seemed "lucky" (being accepted to Princeton, meeting someone who introduced him to Paul Graham's writing) was more likely to happen. It's a very inspiring story.

It's unfair to compare Java and Node. It's more fair to compare Java and JavaScript or JVM and Node. When the options are JVM or Node, I would choose the JVM. When the options are Java and JavaScript, I would choose Java. And when the options are something like Scala or TypeScript, I would choose Scala (because of the JVM vs Node, I love TypeScript). Of course, all of these choices are based on the use case, but I speak of server side apps here.
I had a similar experience, suffered for years with severe depression. Tried every type of drug, nothing was working. But stimulants significantly helped.

This comment is beyond uninformed. Rust is currently working towards standardization, starting with the memory model. See http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2016/05/23/unsa... . This work is being undertaken by Niko Matsakis (a Mozilla employee, so yes, Mozilla cares about standardization) and Nicole Mazzuca (an independent volunteer, so yes, Rust takes broad input from the community).

As for "they want everybody to use it in their systems, and have no input on where the language should go", you appear to be utterly clueless about how Rust is developed. Enormous swaths of the language have been designed by contributors who just showed up out of the blue and started putting in elbow grease. Iterators. Every data structure in the stdlib. Crucial, fundamental details of how the borrow checker operates. There's an entire repository for allowing anyone to propose changes to the language (a process which Mozilla employees are also forced to follow), which is a model that several other open source projects have since adopted (e.g. Swift).
Technically, downvoting is supposed to be used in a community on comments which don't add anything to the conversation, but of course this is abused to simply squash differing opinions. The key difference is downvotes don't come from a central authority, they come from the crowd. Not good or ideal, but different.

It's OK to acknowledge the tremendous set of fortuitous coincidences that _allowed you to make yourself successful_ -- doing so does not diminish you. This guy understands this.

I count my own luck starting with being born in a wealthy country at peace. I moved to other wealthy countries not at war (including, right now, the USA which by any real measure faces no existential threat and is follows a rule of law). Yes I also won the sperm-ovum lottery and by changing countries am now considered part of the "accepted" race. There are roads not taken, and opportunities missed and its worth losing at them to see how more people can have the opportunity to succeed.
I read an argument once for nationalizing Internet infrastructure under the auspices of the US Postal Service (which is a constitutionally-mandated public utility), as the Internet serves the same public good as the post did for hundreds of years (and arguably still does).

Cultures are frameworks for viewing the world. Some early anti drug adds actually backfired and promoted drug use as some people started to associate 'cool kids' and drugs. Some groups associate 'Long hours' with hard work and dedication, others view them as a sign your not working hard enough.

Not that everyone in a group identifies with every assumption of that group, but these things are more complex than simply being shaped by the all powerful media.
