This is the tip of a scandal.

tl;dr - Court (judge, asst da, baliffs) are alleged using many racial slurs. Journalist asks attorney to open records (using open records act), and his attorney is sued. Suit dropped, but attorney is billed $16k for lawyers fees. To fight back against fees, the attorney subpoena's records of payment.

Looks like the charges are coverups for blatantly racist acts. I could be wrong, but "Weaver said the identify fraud allegations came out of her concern that Thomason would use the banking information on those checks for himself." seems to speak very very defensively and not factually based.
I've started working on a flatpak.
Conversely, if you get hacked by someone in the US, you have more recourse than if you get hacked by someone in China. Hence the word "Chinese" in the sentence.
I'm not confused, it's just a mess. No negotiations before the two years is triggered was the original EU position. The EU (or at least their trade comissioner) has come up with a new escalation, claiming that the UK also can't negotiate any post-Brexit trading terms as part of the exit negotiations, that they have to leave the EU first before they can start negotiating on how to trade with the EU: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jul/01/cecilia-malm... This is bad not just for the UK, but also for EU states reliant on trading with the UK.
Academia.edu, San Francisco, CA

Academia.edu is addressing two problems:

- Open access. The goal here is to put every academic pdf ever written on the internet, available for free.

- The reproducibility crisis. It has emerged over the last few years that 65-90% of the scientific literature is not reproducible. What this means is that if you try to reproduce the experiments described in a paper, 65-90% of the time you will not get the same findings. This is known as "the reproducibility crisis"

With regard to open access, Academia allows academics to upload papers to Academia, and make them freely available. Academics have uploaded about 13 million pdfs to Academia.edu, and upload about 1 million a month. About 30 million people come to Academia each month to access and share papers.

With regard to reproducibility, we think the way to solve the reproducibility crisis is to build a new peer review system that (a) crowd-sources peer review from the academic community and (b) provides credit to material that journals don't publish (data-sets, code, replications, failed replications).

Academia has built a recommendation system which is the basis of our approach to (a) and (b). We realize that addressing reproducibility is a huge challenge. We need mission-driven engineers to come and help us. We have raised $17.7 million from Khosla Ventures, Spark Capital, and True Ventures. Bijan Sabet from Spark Capital writes "We believe open science is really important. We believe Academia.edu is going to have a profound impact on the world."

We are looking to hire full stack software engineers. Technologies we use include Ruby, Rails, Postgres, DynamoDB, React. Our office is in downtown San Francisco.

I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree here.

There's a been a fair number of projects I've worked on where exceptions and RTTI introduced too much memory/perf overhead so we explicitly didn't use them. I don't feel like we were worse off for not having them.

> Combined that cuting spendings in education.

I highly doubt they were cutting spending to CS courses and medical programs.

More education doesn't solve the '5 million people unemployed' problem. Having the right education is what matters. That often doesn't require throwing more money at the problem. Especially when the vast majority of education financing goes down administrative black holes.

Just saying 'cutting spending = bad' is about as baseless as this article claims that the problem is lack of employable people when the problem likely involves issues with training/salary and other nuanced issues.

Jumping to quick correlations like 'all education = good' this is how massive mismatches in education/market demand happens in the first place.

The problem isn't traditional office politics, as far as I've seen. The problem is that sometimes the influential engineers can be shortsighted about other teams' needs and it can actually be hard for management to step in and say hey look.

> "It was far less common for people to change jobs back then, too. Neither employers nor employees feel any real loyalty towards one another, so investing in one another feels foolish. There's nothing to incentivise someone to stay once he's learnt the skills he needs to get a position elsewhere."

Sorry, I still don't understand this attitude. I live in the UK, it's common here to have at least some level of on-the-job training, especially for jobs where there's a skills shortage. In my experience, training opportunities are a great way of building up company loyalty, you want to stay with the company because you know you can progress in the company.

Spanish dev here, 3 years in the business, been twice a freelancer and twice an employee. My main complaints:

- The maximum salary a developer can earn at any given company is almost written in stone - around 36000 euros. Every public job posting will have that figure as the max. When it's higher, they'll water it down in the interview.

Why? Probably because they don't have the notion of a 10x programmer at all. We all are perceived as 'equal' or even replaceable.

- Also, companies are scared of the mere possibility of their programmers leaving. The sole hint of that you may leave will turn their red alarms on, and they'll start searching a replacement.

There rarely exists here the mentality that a work relationship is a commercial exchange, not an intimate family-like relationship. Being open to the market is not 'treason'.

- Tech stacks tend to be years behind San Francisco, whether is languages, frameworks, ops practices...

- Functional programming opportunities extremely scarce. Elixir is gaining traction here though.
It depends on so many things.
From Ur/Web to PostgREST.
The gap isn't the pay or the training per se.

A growing issue I see frequently is that companies need more highly experienced (read: senior) people, and are willing to pay for it, but there is no fast pipeline from "no experience" to "highly skilled" even if companies did invest in training. Meanwhile, the existing pool is much too small to meet demand; redistributing the talent won't address the underlying issue. Companies are hiring to fill a need now, not 2-3 years in the future. The company or product generating the demand might not even be around in that time.

An unfortunate reality that people tend to ignore is that the length of time required to train for the average high skill/high pay job has been increasing. There are many high demand specialties in software that require a minimum of 2 years of hardcore experience to really be "experienced", but you can't manufacture that overnight and the hiring companies have little use for someone without that experience. Many companies with existing teams do recognize this and hire a mix of junior and senior talent to generate an internal pipeline but you still need the senior talent when building teams in the first place.

Reallocation of people sounds simple but it doesn't account for the increasing latency of acquiring a different skill set at the level of quality required to perform the jobs that actually exist. It is a sticky problem because it is a bit of a vicious cycle.

NOTE: this is a more general observation, Spain has its own peculiarities.
A lot of skilled Spanish dev have fled to Paris and London despite the high cost of living of those cities and being paid less because they're foreigners because it is still more rewarding.

In Spain, politician and corruption are pushing skilled people away. I have seen (and heard of) too many people moving out to be just mere coincidence.

The subtlety is that most of the time the greedy consulting firm will keep 198K out of the 220K and the be surprised not to find anyone.

"Spain is different" as some friends say.

> Anyhow, even in C \( is perfectly accepted by compilers

Even if it’s accepted it’s not valid, at least in the C99 standard.
Same thing is happening in every country, it seems. Spanish companies have the entire EU from which they can draw workers without any paperwork or issues, and yet they can't find any? From central/eastern Europe even, whose workers may have lower wage expectations?

No. They're flagging this "shortage" and will simultaneously petition their government to allow faster issuing of/more visas to non-EU countries, i.e. India etc, with lower wage requirements for incoming workers.
> It takes at least eight months for an experienced software developer to earn an Agile qualification and they also need the ability to deal with senior executives,

I am a bit confused by this sentence. How does one "ear an Agile qualification"? Why does it take eight months? What is "the ability to deal with senior executives"?
Yes, it doesn't appear users have any explicit rights under the policy.
I prefer not to work on projects that ban exceptions and RTTI. These features (especially exceptions) are important parts of the language, and without them, you can't reliably use most of the standard library (see bad_alloc) and can't really deliver value semantics, since you need awful hacks like two-phase initialization to communicate failure.

C++-without-exceptions is a very different and much worse language.

I think a lot of people like the parent assume that there are large amounts of people like themselves that would pay for a dedicated of niche content. I really don't think that is true. As every indie filmmaker and SaaS entrepreneur knows: the number if people that say they would pay is a magnitude more that the people that actually do.

A lot of industry observers are speculating that a la carte cable would be the doom of a large portion of the smaller niche channels that are bundled by the content companies (like Discovery Networks) with their more popular channels when they sell them to the cable companies.

Wired or wireless or both?

I get 220 Mbps downstream through my OpenWRT Archer C7 over ethernet. My service is advertised as 200 Mbps so I don't know how much faster it could go.

I have however read that OpenWRT has significantly worse wireless performance than the stock firmware on this device.

I don't doubt what you're saying other than the number.
That's true for a company with money for lawyers but not random private person. They will be mostly covered by their bank in case of fraud, but other than that, there's not much you can do. It's like burglary. I know first hand that you go report it to the police and a month later you get a letter that they stopped investigating the crime.

I don't live in the US or China and I find it naive to single out Chinese ip address as bad addresses while not thinking twice about IPs in the US. There is no basis to trust a random ip address in the US more than one in Russia or China. And again, these devices are developed in China so it's natural for them to have a call-home ip that's in China. Instead of reading too much into it, let's first consider the most likely explanation.
Guidance counselors need to stop asking kids what they want to do when they grow up and start telling them what is likely to become available by the time they are able to work (post education), matrix'd with the student's potential.

If you want to be a programmer, your only option is to get your skillset into group #2, rather than build the skillset you want to build.

The best programmers are good at the things people strongly dislike.
You're probably right. MLB has been around a long time, and somehow they still maintain an antitrust exemption, so they probably know what they're doing.

Leaving aside the validity of the 10x programmer concept, the company still needs to be able to extract that extra performance in actual value. Most software jobs in Spain don't have productivity of that kind. Almost no companies here develop software products or services whose effectiveness translates directly into revenue. Very few of those who have tried have had any sort of long-term success.
There is, at least for the NHL. It's still not completely reliable but I can watch every game of the regular season and playoffs much easier than using gamecenter (and cheaper). The blackouts are really bad for the NHL. When I lived in Canada, every game for every team was watchable with no blackouts. In the bay area? I can't watch any of the Canadian teams even though they're certainly not in the same market, along with Nashville, New York, St Louis, basically all of them and of course San Jose, LA, Anaheim.

It's useless. So the free streams that are available are amazing.
We build electronics there because they have a near monopoly on rare-earths. They use this to keep manufacturing in China. Not long ago there were quotas that limited the amount of rare-earth minerals that could be exported.
