I totally agree with you on this.

The kind of IT devs usually associated with mediocre work are typically not the ones who are going to end up taking advantage of these courses. My experience is that they are typically just interested in doing the bare minimum needed and don't have to curiosity needed to improve or learn new things. Forget about them.They form a small percentage of the 1.3 Billion population and unfortunately are the ones most people end up interacting with when outsourcing dev work to India. This is unfortunate.

However, on the other hand, there is huge generation of college age kids who look up to famous founders and CEOs (Zuckerberg, Nadella, Pichai, etc.) and aspire to start companies and write kick-ass apps. Traditionally, it has been difficult to get access to good quality training material in India for a variety of reasons: lack of internet connectivity, lack of good CS curriculum and teachers in most colleges, lack of maker spaces and maker culture, and so on. I am not making excuses for those people, but when you have a 512 Kbps internet connection, watching Google IO sessions on YouTube is a struggle.

Growing up, I was lucky to have access to all resources I needed, but a lot of other people weren't. My hope here is that this sort of training schemes coupled with the internet access Google is rolling out across the country really helps people who really want to learn. The program mentioned in the article: "NPTEL" has a good track record of making quality content available to universities and libraries.

Tl;dr: I am painfully aware of the bad experiences people have on outsourced projects. This program is going to attract a different crowd of people.
Docker: Docker-Native CI/CD with Codeship Webinar – Part 1
Just wanted to add that it's a super powerful tool with a ton of plugins developed by really knowledgeable people. The programming can have sections of parallel code and sections of serial code combined in cool ways, and you can pipe the output right to encoders like x264.
I don't know how I feel about it, but several relatively common arguments in favor of it are:

1) speeds up price discovery
2) makes complying with regulation cheaper
3) it is nearly impossible to enforce currently

Some op-ed pieces arguing for it.

The Nordic countries aren't spontaneously homogeneous though. It's because we (social democracy mostly) worked hard to make it so. As the Nordic countries are becoming more like everywhere else we also see the rise of things like populist parties and racial divides.

That's not the point, the point is $70k in Sao Paulo buys you a lower standard of living than $70k pretty much anywhere in the US but in a handful of cities.

$70k in Sao Paulo doesn't go much further than $70k in New York (or Tokyo, London, Paris, Singapore...)

Do I have to remind you how much a computer, a smartphone or a car costs in Brazil compared to the US?

I doubt your claim of finding "good enough" developers for $35k. I was making more than that in my first job, fresh out of school, when I had zero real world experience, working remotely for an American company, and that was in the early 2000s.

Most companies would be elated to find even a competent html/css/js coder for that price.
Wii Fit seems like a natural... fit. They already ship with a step counter that integrates into your game at home. If would be pretty cool actually if there was a virtual yoga teacher in the park and people gathered and did yoga as a rag tag group.

Do you leave your database server publicly open (but password protected obviously), or can you use IAM policies for this as well?
I think the primary reason may have been that before the advent of stored-program digital computers, vast arrays of people with mechanical calculators were used for computational tasks. When the first digital computers came, the job was still sufficiently easy that the skills were easily transferable - the first electronic digital machines were glorified calculators. Everyone thought that making programs would be trivial so "clerical" people were used. Only when the complexity of software started increasing the scale of the problem became apparent, and a new field was born. And the newly-trained young people who came into a booming field came with a different demographics. The job description changed significantly, it's not (only!) that the same job was suddenly usurped by male applicants.
"Is selling refrigerators to Eskimos a good idea?"

You're begging the question. It's only a signal that it's a great idea if everyone says no given that it is a great idea.

Usually, if all your feedback is negative, it's a red hot signal that you should be doing something else.
How many scion of old money families participate in UFC? In the US military? How many children of the nouveau upper middle class do?

How it plays out in reality is that the money involved looks better to people who have fewer choices. Of course, there will be exceptions. But in a meritocratic society, status is not as derived from violent activity as was true of societies with an honor culture.

I know for a fact that it's possible to develop a deep and abiding love of American football as a player. I presume the same is true of UFC. But the risks will dictate whether or not the money is worth it depending on a persons status.

I think this would really benefit from some thoughtful indenting to illustrate the structure. For example, instead of:

SELECT
members.firstname AS "First Name",
members.lastname AS "Last Name"
FROM borrowings
JOIN books ON borrowings.bookid=books.bookid
JOIN members ON members.memberid=borrowings.memberid
WHERE books.author='Dan Brown';

Do:

SELECT
members.firstname AS "First Name",
members.lastname AS "Last Name"
FROM borrowings
JOIN books ON borrowings.bookid = books.bookid
JOIN members ON members.memberid = borrowings.memberid
WHERE books.author = 'Dan Brown';

This helps reinforce that there is one FROM statement that combines three tables using joins
Having started driving in the age of 99¢/gal gas, I am highly sensitive to price differences between stations, and I choose between 3 stations that are always within 5¢ of each other. I am typically not so price sensitive (with other purchases), but with gas I make minor schedule/route deviations to save <75¢ on a fill up. Curiously, because this startup charges a monthly convenience/subscription charge—instead of an incremental fuel charge—I was actually willing to consider it. But when I did the math, it didn't come close to making sense.

Having a service like this would save me some amount of time, I suspect that if I significantly relaxed my fueling station choices, it would cost me much less than $15/mo, and the inconvenience of filling up would be diminished nearly to zero. There are stations very near where I live, so route deviations would disappear, and the lines are never very long.

Basically, I think part of the allure of a service like Yoshi is it removes the decision paralysis that results from having many different gas stations available, and having to choose when/where to fill up. Ultimately not a game-changer for me, but I appreciate that it makes me consider alternatives!
That "We haven't talked to them" line is pretty ridiculous. Of course you haven't talked to them, you know they would flip out about transporting extremely flammable liquid around the city (I'm guessing with questionable methods) and fuelling cars just wherever.

Yup, and the main reason for having so much GI cancer is basically alcohol abuse. Salarymen going to drink several times a week with colleagues and having always a beer on your table at home certainly does not help. Korea has the exact same problem, and very high Gastric Cancer rates as well.
Not necessarily. You might be the only person that sees (or can be convinced to see) the world that way.
You have a very adequate and concise changelog linked for this purpose.

IMO people discussing here aren't "showing off their knowledge". Posting a version upgrade serves as a visibility reminder and people start inquiring about the features of the language/framework. Eventually a technology gains enough critical mass so that more people start using it.

Absolutely nothing wrong about that.

@lexap makes very good points.

Still, in addition to the name being "EventGeek", the integrations are an immediate sign that this is tech-focused. Most smaller planners don't know anything about Slack, Hubspot, or Zapier -- but they would nearly all use Facebook, Twitter, and WordPress integrations.

Budgeting is necessary even on the smallest projects, but only starts at the $450 plan. I imagine this puts it out of reach for planners who need the budgeting feature most :)
Pretty much this. Google, Amazon, and other big companies are overrated

You can find a lot of interesting with outside of them. Even better, innovative work is being done right now by a company you never heard about before
I love Nintendo and the Wii U but the pricing of Nintendo Wii U games sucks. Years after some of their games have been released they're still $59.99 to buy brand new. Then there's a lack of gaming studios devoted to the Wii U. The Playstation has it's own niche, the X-Box has it's own niche of gaming studios as well. I think Nintendo should invest in a brand new subsidiary that is allowed to "think outside of the Nintendo box" and make new crazy games, while taking full advantage of the Wii U. There is much potential I think with the Wii U and that is what made me buy it, sadly not many have taken advantage, or the companies that do they make their Wii U version too late for it to matter for most. It's like GTA and PC, too late but GTA is a big enough game to still sell plenty. Another thing they should really do is create new franchises, that is something Disney does all the time. Bring a new show, sell as much product for it as they can, rinse and repeat.
Even if this never nets a profit on the service, big Gas has deep enough pockets to make it worth a potential sell out exit
Certainly different revisions (for different missions). Also remember that surface missions required two different versions of the code: One for the CM and one for the LM.

Hey, love the website! Nice, clean, and straightforward.

Just a heads up, I noticed a typo on the membership page: "No need to even look at the gas gauage anymore"
The #2 link seems to be the closest we have to the original source. It's a news gathering operation run by the CBS broadcast television affiliate in the MSP region where the events in question transpired. The person making the scanner recording hasn't posted it anywhere that I know of. If you know of a better source, I'll gladly change the link, but this is the source everyone else is ultimately linking to.

As for the police not verifying the recording, that's not unusual. Police don't tend to comment on pending investigations unless they need something from the public. In any case, the shooter's attorney has largely confirmed the information in the recording[1]. It could still be a fake, but if it is, it's a good one based on information not publicly available until days later.

>America: one of the highest median household disposable incomes on earth. 25% higher than Norway, 30% higher than Germany and 50% higher than Sweden.

Careful here...

You need to subtract:

- cost of health care (even if you are a W-2 employee, you still have to pay, typically 30% of the cost, self-employed people may end up $25K/year for a family of 4)

- cost of higher education - $250K/child for private college, $!20K/child state college

- additional taxes, like real-estate, excise taxes

- hidden taxes: telecom, airport/FAA (sometimes half of the price of the ticket), etc.

- absurd real-estate prices (on the coasts)

While the US is probably still ahead, the difference is not as big as you stated.
Well, we've already got the beginnings of visible light nano-antennas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_rectenna). I'm not sure how directional they are, but we do have MEMS cantilevers to point them individually. Granted, getting this all working together as a combined camera/monitor is the kind of thing that could keep a generation of engineers and scientists occupied, with no guarantee of success.
The question is how you interpret the decision of the other party not to move forward. Call it a failure on your side, and it will be a failure. There really is some deeper truth to the remarks in the other comments to frame it as a learning moment, and to gain experience. By framing these random facts in another way, you can come out without a scratch on your soul, and this tiny bit of extra wisdom that will make you understand that (a) this random outcome of the process is nothing personal, and (b) you will be able to approach the random processes a bit better next time.
I had the exact same response when I saw the headline...And was also pleasantly surprised to discover that it was something else. :)
Your point number 2 is really creative. Did they go for it? Or did they counter that just because people wouldn't sue you (assuming that you don't have deep pockets) doesn't mean that there isn't valid stuff there to indemnify?

Regardless, kudos on thinking up such a creative argument—in many years of lawyering, I've never heard that one.
Do you really consider kidnapping "nonviolent"?
If a car hits a cyclist or pedestrian in Holland, the car is -by definition- at fault. See [1] link in dutch.

Free translation of the first part:
Cyclist or pedestrians are seen as the weaker traffic participants. Because they are fragile in traffic the law has a special rule on collisions with a motorized vehicle.
The driver in the car is responsible for the damage of the cyclist without his guilt having to be proven.

If you didn't get any feedback as to why you were rejected, there's no point in feeling bad about it.

There are all kinds of reasons companies reject candidates. A lot of them have nothing to do with your competence.

Maybe they had a better or cheaper candidate come along. Maybe the open position was closed. Maybe they thought you were overqualified. Maybe the interviewer(s) had a bad day and rejected everyone. Maybe one of the interviewers is an asshole and vetoed your candidacy over the objections of everyone else.

You have no idea of knowing what happened, even if they did give you feedback. They are certainly not going to tell you that everyone but the asshole wanted to hire you.

> and routinely labeled organic (thanks to the promised reduction in pesticides requirements)

Except they won't be, because "organic" doesn't involve less pesticides - it often involves more pesticides but of a more "natural" flavour. It may have started from the desire of some consumers to buy food that's made locally and with a more pre-industrial feel to it (because they believe it's healthier), but now it's just a way to milk people who have strong opinions about food.
Don't feel like a complete loser (yes, that is easier said than done). You failed two interviews, but an equally valid way to look at that is that you go so far as the interview stage at two companies, one of which is legendary for being monsterously difficult to interview for. You just did something 99.9% of the world will never ever have the change to do.

Did they tell you why you didn't pass the interview? If so work on that, if not, know that there are tons of companies out there that will want to hire you.

I never applied for anything like Google, but I had companies that wouldn't take a second look at my application and companies that spent the entire interview stage trying to wow me to sign the employment contract. Most companies (probably in particular Google) have an employment pipeline that has _nothing_ to do with whether you would be a good employee.

Don't be discouraged by a few companies choosing not to hire you.

I really disagree with this.

Google has extremely strict safeguards in place to prevent eg. employee Joe from accessing ex-girlfriend Mary's Gmail. Very few people would have full access to individuals' Google accounts. This kind of privacy breach would be very damaging to Google.

Niantic is a tiny startup with around 50 employees. I would expect most developers within the team would have full access to the production database, or would be given access if they had a need for it. It's unlikely that there's any oversight over who can access data - it's just a 'game'.

Where are their backups stored? Are they encrypted? Who has access to the decryption keys? We don't know, but I would bet any amount of money that their systems are vastly less secure than Google's are.

The relationship between Google and Niantic isn't relevant as to whether they are capable of keeping these credentials secure.
that's not freedom of speech.

Secret ballots are probably indispensible for democracy, but it is debatable (note I said "debatable") whether anonymity is necessary for freedom of speech and democracy. After all we've had many revolutions and regime changes in societies past where there was no anonymity of communication. Now arguably you could say that said regime changes might have occurred with less blood had anonymity been available, but then it is also arguable whether anonymous communication is anything like as forceful and persuasive as someone prepared to risk themselves by taking a public stance. IE we could argue that anonymous stances would not have created the regime change in the first place.

A whole bunch of avatars screaming a slogan is not persuasive.

> If this view is correct, increasing the amount of education that the average citizen receives is just wasting their time (as most people do not enjoy their time in class), at great expense to them and the average taxpayer.[1]

Even accepting your first premise, this does not follow. Even if degrees are 100% signalling and 0% actual education, it's still the right choice for the individual because that signalling has value. The alternative is that people who have the positive qualities that are signaled but not the money for the degree cannot get the jobs which require those characteristics and have good pay.

That's kind of similar to how airplanes are getting filled up at KPAO. Fueling truck comes by, doesn't see a white mark on the right tire - refuels to the max. In the end it saves a lot of time, because you don't have to worry about filling it up.

The story in that graph is about change in productivity WRT change in wage, though. In order to "fix that" you either need to see an increase in wage growth or a decrease in productivity growth.

It seems that your argument is that it (UBI) will increase wages with no (or minimal?) change in productivity. Are you counting the transfer payments in your increased wages, or are you implying that wages will start growing again in addition to the payments?

Docker: Running #Minecraft in a Windows Container Using #Docker – Nicholas Dille
I think there are some strong arguments in favour of equity grants:

1. Startups face high frictional costs when selling their equity; providing equity grants along with lower salaries may help to avoid cash-flow problems arising from the inefficiency in the market.

2. In a early-stage startup with inexperienced employees, providing equity grants can remove much of the valuation risk from employees' wages; if they do exceptionally good work, they'll automatically be compensated more by virtue of the increased value of their equity. (This also provides an argument for vesting cliffs: If an employee does exceptionally poor work, they can be fired before the cliff and their compensation is effectively reduced to match the quality of the work they performed.)

3. Psychological biases result in people working irrationally hard for companies which they feel that they "own", even if their ownership share is extremely small.

4. In some cases there may be income tax arbitrage advantages.
