> "That's utter bullshit. He cites the Wall Street Journal to give that credibility, but that fails already. Some author in a newspaper pointed something out and than its a fact? Very very weak way of supporting an argument."

Using the Wall Street Journal example is an attempt to illustrate that even corporate-focused news outlets admit that the EU is not built on a strong democratic foundation. If you're not happy with that example, I could point out other news outlets that have made similar statements, or I could point out direct quotes from those involved in the EU. Which would you prefer?

> "That's nonsense again. If that were the case Germany could send its bureaucracy home. But the German bureaucracy is much much larger than the EU bureaucracy in Brussels"

It's not the size of the bureaucracy that's important, it's the level of influence that non-elected bodies possess in that bureaucracy. If you had watched the video I linked to, you'd have heard about the example of the Eurogroup Working Group dictating the policies of the Eurogroup. The Eurogroup Working Group is comprised of the members of the "Economic and Financial Committee (EFC), the European Commission and the European Central Bank" (quote taken from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurogroup_Working_Group ).

To be clear, the EFC is comprised of "senior officials from national administrations and EU central banks, the European Central Bank and the Commission" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_and_Financial_Committ...).

None of these people are democratically elected, yet they are setting the financial policy for all members of the Eurozone. Does that not concern you in the slightest?

> "Out of context quote. Much of the economic policies is made in the member states. On an EU level there is some stability of longer term economic policies needed. That's what Schäuble was talking about."

At what point does stability and consensus not apply? What level of economic integration do you want to see across Europe? Are there any financial decisions that should be beyond the reach of the EU?

The line should be drawn somewhere, as otherwise the EU will become a closer and closer economic (and political) union, with less room for individual countries to set their own policies.
I'm curious... It could be different in Scotland but i'm a tech recruiter in the US and every company I know gets paid a % of the base salary of successfully placed developers. Our fee is 20%-25%. So it's in my best interest to get you MORE money. You get a base salary of 100K and i get 25K. You get a base salary of 19K and I get less than 5K.

The only exception is contracting where we charge a bill rate to the client and pay the developer a rate but usually people don't mind when they are making $70+ an hour.
That's an interesting way of thinking about it. Accounting is the programming equivalent to profiling (money flows in this case instead of time/memory flows).

All my interviews in my past few months have been in this format.

1. Talking to recruiter ( 0-1 hr)

2. InterviewStreet coding challenge ( 2 hrs)

3. Phone Screen - 1 hr

4. Take home coding exercise - 4 hrs

So you are spending 8 hrs just to get your resume looked at. Then comes onsite interview which is another day ( assuming you are not flying out).

All recruiter did was mass email ppl on linkedin. Spending at most 1 hr on your particular case. You have all the right to say no, its none of their business why. I've had Amazon recruiters not even have the courtesy to email me back when I didn't pass ( assuming) their interviewstreet. They don't even tell you why you got rejected when you don't pass the interview so you don't have to either if you don't want to. Just tell them 'it was difficult decision', if you are feeling particularly generous :D.

The offer was 20k more than my base salary already. Asking for even more seemed crazy to me. I have controversial opinions on how much money developers make already, probably stemming from my imposter syndrome. Asking for more money did not make me comfortable. If they had offered, I would have had to reconsider. I expected more of a conversation after I declined, but it didn't happen.

You can still freely access global variables inside lambdas, with or without captures.
The van der Waals radius of chlorine is 0.175 nm and they use cells with 2 by 3 atoms - two positions for zero and one and one atom wide border as separation to the neighboring cells. This suggests a size of 0.735 nm² per bit or 136 Tbit/cm² which is within a factor of two from the 78 Tbit/cm² from the article and mostly due to the additional spacing between blocks.

They stored 8,128 bits in a plane, the virus contains about 18,400 bits but in a three-dimensional structure. If we could layer this technology - again with one layer for separation - we would get a density of 15.5 billion Tbit/cm³. You could store two years worth of global IP traffic (2015) in one cubic centimeter.
Hm, they seem similar because both Li-Fi and free-space optical communication (FSO) use visible or near-visible spectra to send and receive information.

Either different words have different meanings, or they don't.

If the meaning of a word is delivered primarily by its context, then there should be little objection to a straight replacement of "accident" with "crash"--since the context would be unchanged.

If the meaning of a word is carried by the word itself, then you have to consider what accident means to most people: something that just happens, unavoidably, despite everyone's best intentions to avert it. But that does not actually describe the vast majority of car crashes. Most car crashes actually could have been averted.

> The officials at the Virginia Department of Transportation that they stop using “accident,” he received a note saying that drivers are familiar and comfortable with the word.

Yes, of course they are. That's the problem. People are too familiar and comfortable with the concept of cars crashing and causing injuries and death.

The whole point of changing the way we talk about things is to change the way people think about things--their expectations.

> It's just easier to sit at home and complain at peoples use of language then it is to teach people to be better drivers.

There's no reason to choose, here. Both can happen.
SSD wear leveling algorithms ensure that the entire disk is used evenly. Any block on the drive can be literally anywhere in the storage medium, even more so than with hard drives. Some SSDs have significantly more storage media than they report (over-provisioning), again for wear leveling.

In theory, SSD erasing is solved by TCG OPAL functionality. All data written to the disk medium is encrypted, whether or not it is taken advantage of by the user. The key it uses cannot be retrieved or set by the user. Tell the disk to change the key it uses and the entire device is unintelligible noise.

I too have a system 76. It is overall pretty solid. It has trouble with 2 external monitors though (more a ubuntu issue then the company).

It's a misunderstanding that has unfortunately caught on among many Haskell programmers. People who say "macros are only useful in strict languages" mistakenly think that macros can only be used to delay evaluation. Of course, there are many more uses of macros, as you point out. Macros can define new binding forms, e.g., in Racket, pattern matching is a library, while it in Haskell it must be part of the core language. Macros are also useful for abstracting over non-first-class language forms like top-level definitions, import/export statements, and even type definitions.

The problem IMHO is that your advice seems very black and white to me. It sounds like you are saying either don't track anything at all and rely entirely on career path for your financial security, or go full-on into a time consuming accounting mode where every penny is measured and fretted on.

Tracking personal finance doesn't have to be terribly difficult. A simple spreadsheet with expenses and income often suffices. Maybe some simple divisions so that you know that x % of the paycheck will pay the mortgage and y % will be used for the insurance. Nothing too fancy or time consuming. Just enough to reveal patterns, and make sure you have enough "flex" in your bank account for things like personal emergencies.

Although I know you are saying your advice is for the upwardly mobile only, my impression is that a lot of people are very bad with their finances -- that includes even some of the "upwardly mobile". Maybe you're good with your personal finance and have no need to track, but I personally think the general rule should be that most people should do some rudimentary tracking.

This post sounds like every interview cycle I've ever gone through. The self doubt during the process, the surprise at their interest, the pleasantness of the new company, and then finally, the hard part: making a decision. Not sure why this is worth even writing about. Also, I wonder about the sensibility of writing about it under your own name when your current employer now knows you are interviewing around.
I was pointing out why your previous comment was not being taken seriously, it was not a challenge.

Furthermore, you do realise that the Greek bailout was just a bank bailout in disguise, right?

http://www.dw.com/en/most-of-greek-bailout-money-went-to-ban...

"Since the Greek debt crisis began in 2010, the southern European country has received two bailouts from international creditors and is currently on its third. During the first two "adjustment programs," as they're known in bureaucratic parlance, Athens received some 216 billion euros.

Of that amount, the ESMT's study found that 86.9 billion went toward debt repayments, including 9.1 billion in repayments to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), 52.3 billion was spent on interest payments, 37.3 billion was used for bank recapitalization and 29.7 billion was doled out to provide incentives for investors to get involved in the private sector.

Only 9.7 billion euros, according to ESMT, was directly contributed to Greece's fiscal budget or to kickstart the Greek economy."
Pretty much any tech company that made it out of the Tech Fraud of the 90s and is still alive. Yahoo just never managed to do anything but keep it's head above water for all those years and is now just simply running out of the momentum to continue doing so.

Mayer has not been a pinata, blame the board for hiring her if you want, but her job was to come in and restructure and turn the company around. She simply does not have the skills to do that and her coat tail riding at Google was not going to help.

It's a rather core problem in the valley, pervasive and endemic post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy, i.e., since startup A is successful, that success must have come from the people involved. It totally ignores systemic shifts, inevitable developments, marketing and PR bullshit, and just plain stupid luck. It's why the whole tech sector relies on constant injections of cash or an exit by a giant that is swimming in cash and doesn't mind squandering it on fueling the tech nonsense.

Mayer's "success" was solely derived from the "success" that google has had, which is simply based on a mixture of dumb luck and the single real success, a search engine and infrastructure that is good enough to beat all others and is used as a vehicle for ad revenue.

> Asking for even more seemed crazy to me

Until companies start offering the salary that they are expecting to pay for the position in their initial offer, you're always going to have to ask for more to get it.

There are a few startups (Buffer or maybe Zapier?) that are doing this. Offers are very one-sided, the company has all of the information and you have none. By not negotiating a better offer, you're leaving money on the table. It doesn't help that there's a taboo in our society around negotiation and bargaining.
You sound like junior guy which probably explain all the drama. Others already pointed out your mistakes in reasoning.

However, since you liked this opportunity so much (SF I assume), you could just ask for more money, however much would make things work for you. Explain your reasoning to them and see what they can do.

This. Recruiter's daily job is to talk to people to convince and pressure them for positions that are potentially undesirable (otherwise, the roles will be handled by an internal recruiter or filled very quickly); it is a cold-calling sales job where rejections and cold feet are common, and the final closing are far and between.

Their emotional response to rejections should be equivalent to a programmer's emotional response to debugging a difficult trace-stack error.

However, their job is also to elicit emotional response from their applicant-side to further pressure them if the applicant is sitting on the fence, sure most of you whom have experienced the sales cycle have heard the following: e.g.,

* "I need to feed my family..." (everyone has to make a living to feed their family)

* "[The hiring manager] told me specifically 'make sure to get this guy', we worked really hard on getting this package ready for you..." (every car sales involve printing a standard package, the sales person didn't handwrite a love letter addressed to you)

One time, I've received a particularly nasty call from a recruiter because I made up my mind, turned down a job offer and addressed the e-mail directly to the hiring manager cc'd to recruiter instead of just to the recruiter. The recruiter was upset and said that "[I] burned all bridges now for any alternative negotiations... and that's why I make the big bucks."; never mind that the hiring manager was very polite and replied that "next time, if you are interested; feel free to e-mail me directly". The whole experience taught me that most of the time, the recruiter (agency) is not on your side and some of the time, they're not even on the hiring company's side either; they like everyone else, is frying the fish for themselves.
Everyone owes it to themselves to test the market once a year. You don't have to take the offer, but the extent to which you consider yourself guilty for doing so is the extent to which your current employer is screwing you. If your current company is in trouble, they will only blink once or twice before kicking you aside.

> I sought advice from two of my best friends/coworkers.

Unless you trust them absolutely, it's a risky idea to talk to coworkers about your interviews somewhere else. If your coworkers are already talking about their interviews with you, then it's fine. I mean, there are some very weird companies out there where the managers get so upset at the idea that you might look somewhere else on your own initiative that it's usually best to not talk about job interviews with any coworker. It's one of those things that people do themselves but hold against you once they know you did. Talk about some job frustration during a company party, only to have it recited as an argument against you during an HR interview.

That said, interviewing at places even if you don't have plans to leave is normal and many people do it. It's interview experience and market research in one and it's something your employer may not punish you for, but some do, so keep it private.
What happens if they say no? What are you afraid of? The universe won't explode. You still will have your current job.

But what if they say yes? You did not enable that to be an opportunity. You took things as they are, rather than considering what they could be.

Opportunities are not black/white. It is extremely rare that a company's first offer is their highest. Most companies expect a counter. Each side has to show some of their cards before making a compromise.

Trust me, companies do the same things all time to prospective employees.
