> Move to where the money is.

Oops I was born in a small poor suburb outside of Pittsburgh and barely make enough each week to feed myself and pay rent, where am I getting money to move?

> Befriend those who are already wealthy. Emulate them.

> Befriend people who are on the fast track and believe in loyalty. Be very useful to them. Help them rise.

This entirely depends on living in an area "wealthy" people would live. In my hypothetical poor suburb the richest guy is the guy who owns the only bar within a drive.

> Invest at least 25% of your income.

I make $1200 a month post-tax. In any given month:

- $500 rent

- $50 car insurance

- $200 food

- $80 enjoyment ($20/week)

- $75 utilities

That leaves me with $295 for everything that's a non-essential in my life. This is a flat tire. This is a doctor's appointment. This is medication. This is Christmas gifts. This is a leaking roof. This is a broken stove. This is money that I need to be liquid every month, you suggest I invest all of it? I probably wind up spending this money just to get by, it's less than $75/wk for expenses outside of a pretty barren lifestyle.

> Get out more. Talk to more people. Increase your opportunities to get lucky.

Again, this is entirely dependent on there being people of value in my immediate vicinity.

> Eliminate toxic people in your life (you can help them later if you want).

> And, don't burn bridges.

Believe it or not, these are the only valid points you've made to apply to my hypothetical life... And this is for a single person who makes 15000
> That persona no longer exists. He's been all but disappeared, and it's going to take a long time for him to reconnect.

If the internet didn't exist, an artist would have bought storage for his art. Why this artist feels that a service he didn't pay for owes him anything is baffling to me.
We’ve recently moved to a more “hip” location. We used to have personal desks, but now we have this “pick whatever spot is avaiable” open area. I dislike it a lot.

- love it :) she knows what we threw away in the name of being agile and hip.
Fortunately it's far less popular in the UK - indeed I watched it before any of the hype started, but I get what you mean. I have the same issue with watching F1 - I usually don't watch it until afterwards as my girlfriend and family have no interest, so I watch it when I get a chance rather than annoy everyone with it. But blurting out the result (even when it's not been on live on terrestrial TV) seems to be the thing that news readers do; if it's football they warn you - anything else, TOUGH!

Yes, you're right, the legal stuff sucks. We wanted to make it as simple as possible and not have 100 pages terms and conditions. We will try to make that more clear so people can understand that if they get this product for Free can be used by how many devs they have, in how many products they want.

Our business is to create good looking products that speed-up the development for web developers and not to go after people who use our products without a license. Probably there are 1000 people every day who just "View Source" of the page and get the product. We cannot and don't want to focus on those people :D

Exactly. This article should have been retitled "What do those who keep their wealth know that those who lose their wealth don't?"
Not to me, so I'd say it's more "your issue" than "the issue". Industry articles on serving temperatures are all about ranges, so I presume he's just talking about those.

But even with your interpretation, it's true. The upper bound is 212F. A cup of steam is not a significant burn risk, that being something like 0.16 ml of water.
I feel like I can one-up you on this. Here in Switzerland, the day after some popular shows in the US have ended (for example Breaking Bad, or a GoT season finale), some daily newspapers print two page spreads with all the spoilers from "last night's" episode - despite the fact that 100% of their readers are legally unable to watch that episode for probably another couple of months.

And even those that do follow the show through non-legal channels probably haven't downloaded the episode yet, since it has aired in the middle of the night for us.
There is absolutely nothing paranoid about systematic and well documented efforts from the oil industry to discredit scientists.

> It should have much higher standards

Yes, but for the quality of the result, not intuitions set-up as principles to replace the real pillars of science: experimentation and peer-review. Transparency is only useful if it helps getting peers; in this case, there are well documented reasons to doubt it, and that the people benefiting from that transparency are not just enemies of science, but of humanity.
Except that they have had many many very healthy quarters over the last decade as they became less and less relevant to the tech vanguard.

Don't f*ck it up, son...they clock a grip.
pyre is right, Google has fought tooth and nail to make their services indispensable.

It is a failure of ethics to then delete that indispensable thing.

There were laws in the old USAmerican West about horse theft. Strict laws! And similarly strict laws throughout history in shepherding cultures, regarding livestock.

The justification for draconian punishments for livestock theft has always been that the animals (property, items) were indispensable. You can't go around drastically changing or possibly ending people's lives by taking the things they depend on away from them. It's wrong!
Jekyll is open source and it can be run on any server (I always use it locally) and its output is just static HTML, which means it can be served from anywhere.
> because they manage their income poorly

That's a good start. "There are a lot" may not mean most, but it doesn't absolve it of providing some proof.
If you're going to be so difficult you'd best start off by defining human nature. Do you mean our genetics? That, too, is changing constantly.
Of course beggars can be choosers.

What that statement generally means is that beggars can't generally afford to turn down charity, hoping for others to give something better.

But in this case this is not what we are talking about, but a situation where someone has to decide which country they will try to apply for asylum in, amongst multiple possible options. In that case, they most definitively can choose to some extent, even though the alternatives may have different perceived risk profiles.

And as with everything else, of course some people will choose badly.
I saw it until it became too sad and depressing. Are joy and triumph not good for plots? Why not a character like Mike from "Suits"?
I believe what you're asking for is called the "Windows Subsystem for Linux" that they launched earlier this year.

The NT Kernel originally was POSIX compliant and there was a UNIX user-mode subsystem available called "Windows Services for UNIX". Unfortunately over the years the distinction between the NT Kernel and the Win32 subsystem eroded and Microsoft eventually dropped the Windows Services for UNIX subsystem around 2008.

With Vista however, the MinWin initiative took off to extricate the Win32 Subsystem from the NT Kernel. This was carried forward with 7 and completed for 8. It's because of this separation that they were able to share the same Kernel in Phone, RT, Desktop and Server OSes. It's also how WinRT and UWP apps can run on Phone, RT, Desktop and Server because they do not rely on the Win32 subsystem to operate.

The Windows Subsystem for Linux is Microsoft's new Linux (not UNIX) user-mode subsystem.

No one cares about your competition results after you start publishing papers, so not really. So if you publish shit papers it doesn't matter how well you did on competitions, you will never get a good job in academia (or anywhere else for that matter unless you learn a useful skill like programming).
I'll elaborate a little.

The impression I have formed is that gmail will have whatever features google's gmail-for-businesses product needs. If a considerable percentage of customers (ie. the ones who pay per month and user) use a particular feature, then that feature stays and is maintained.
I'm always amazed by people with your perspective! I hated Gmail from the beginning, it works terribly with IMAP, and it's generally slow compared to a good native app.

Google search is still occasionally better than DDG, but it's never more than an !g away if I'm unhappy with DDG.

What are all these services Google provides people feel are irreplaceable? I don't get it. They're an advertising company with big bags of money to let smart people noodle around on their pet projects. Nice company to work for (if you aren't morally opposed to advertising), but I've never found the products appealing.
He is also a bit of a windbag. He likes to change words because the semantics don't suit his world view. Additionally, his rants are very alienating. The man is a genius in a lot of ways, but he really misses the mark on a lot of things.
It will be a standalone product, but It will have all the components that are in the Material Kit. So you will use Material Kit when you create the Presentation page or landing page of your product and then on the admin part you will use Material Dashboard. They will have the same design line so there will be consistency in the overall design of your web app.

You can start developing with Material Kit, then when we release the Dashboard you just change the CSS with the new one and also get the new Structure of the page (Sidebar + Main Area).
My take is that focusing on the people who stay is orders of magnitude more important. If the product solves someone's problem they won't care about the logo. Anyone who has a problem with the logo that trumps the problem the product is trying to solve is not worth pursuing.

Now as a caveat, I think getting hunted is mostly a waste of time exactly for the sort of feedback it provided here. Much of its premise is based around SEO rather than creating good products.

Before commenting I went to your site. I looked at the logo. I scrolled down the page to see a bit about the product. I don't have the problem it solves. I left.

That's good because your product does not solve a problem that I have. Changing the logo to something I find more aesthetically pleasing won't change that. If I had the problem the product tries to solve, I wouldn't pick between it and the alternatives based on the logo.

On the other hand, if I spent time on Product Hunt instead of Hacker News, it would probably be because I enjoyed nitpicking the products. I don't. If I did, I hope I'd come up with something more relevant than "hating" on the logo.

Don't get me wrong. I think design is important. It's just that the product design matters and web fashion doesn't. Look at Craigslist. Look at Hacker News. Look at email. Focus on solving the problem. Bush-league critics abound on the internet.
It would seem they can in this case, maybe you don't want them to.
Portability notes for the Lepton implementation (https://github.com/dropbox/lepton):

* Implemented in C++ (-std=c++0x and -std=c++11 work, -std=c++98 doesn't work).

* Needs a recent g++ to compile (g++-4.8 works, g++-4.4 doesn't work).

* Runs on Linux and Windows.

* Runs on i386 (-m32) and amd64 (-m64) architectures. Doesn't work on other architectures, because it uses SSE4.1 instructions.

* Can be compiled without autotools (http://ptspts.blogspot.ch/2016/07/how-to-compile-lepton-jpeg...).

> Black cities are backwards and shitty and don't have CS grads, so no tech companies are HQed in black cities, but it's got nothing to do with race. I'm not racist: I'd have lots of black friends if they weren't all living in poor neighborhoods and jail where I don't go. We avoid logic and good data and good analysis of data when it comes to race, this post is at least getting a little closer.

Eh? There are plenty of tech companies in cities with large numbers of African Americans. I'm just saying you shouldn't try to imply that 100% of Tech Companies should move to Atlanta (for instance) solely because there are a large number of black people there. You should be in Atlanta because it makes financial sense for the business you are operating.

I said it shouldn't be a criteria used to determine location. For instance, if you are doing eCommerce with a large import/export component, you are probably going to want to be HQ'd near a major port and you probably won't want to relocate any further than you have to (if you have to relocate at all) as a founder.

There are plenty of places on the West Coast where the largest minorities are Hispanic or Asian, they have easy access to factories in China & Mexico, and have small Black populations.

That doesn't mean they should relocate to Atlanta where they don't have physical access to the locations their merchandise enters the US.

The Bay Area is another area where this is an issue but it doesn't make sense to move (i.e. If you want access to Silicon Valley):

http://www.bayareacensus.ca.gov/bayarea.htm

The area is less than 10% African American. You aren't going to have more than 5-10% African American employees unless you are biasing things intentionally. The largest minority? Latinos followed by Asians.
One could argue that walking around - kilometers at a time, in the case of getting an egg to hatch - is serious exercise compared to sitting in front of a computer or on a couch.
Probably because it's slightly slower to use than magnetic strips (at least in the US), and since we're in a transition period you kind of never know whether a given store supports chip inserts.
In the long run we're all dead.
Hypothetical lives often are for very conservative people who make up reasons why nothing will help. Moving for a poor single person can be as simple as hitchhiking or, for $90 more, taking a Greyhound somewhere.

And 'wealthy' is relative. There's always somebody better off. And you can contact people all over the world these days, with something called the Interweb.
I don't think your kernel of choice is of direct interest here; I'm fairly certain what you're interested in is access to your familiar tools, which the "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" system would potentially provide.

As for a POSIX sub-system on Windows, well there once existed such a system that was near-compliant, but MS stopped supporting it a few years back. As for Wine, I think cygwin fulfills a similar role.

Anyway, you want your tools. You might even want your familiar filesystem and its hierarchy. I think the primary reason Microsoft deemed it worth it to implement Bash on Ubuntu on Windows was to provide webdevs access to the same tools they had on osx/linux.

All in all, I think a bit of reading on these subjects would help, because I think you're confusing the kernel with the userland.

Note:
I'm faily young and inexperienced, and when I heard the "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" announcement, I didn't really know what the meant. But learning about these bits on wikipedia/various blogs was certainly interesting.
Worse than that, it stores your email credentials on their servers, so it can retrieve email on your behalf. Terrible, terrible security. I wouldn't be surprised if the passwords are stored in cleartext in the database.

SO, writing software is a distinct activity from not writing software? That's really thought provoking. It's also different that water skiing. Mountain climbing. Lint rolling. Resting quietly. Para-sailing.

There are also people who write software at all of those places...Which isn't distinct from writing software at all.
I've seen folks who have a lot of coding skill on their resume fumble simple white board problems.

Solving a coding problem on a whiteboard tests your ability to solve coding problems on a whiteboard. That's a bias. It makes people who get nervous standing up and being the centre of attention less likely to pass the test. If coding on a whiteboard is a part of the job then fair enough, but if it isn't then you're introducing something to the interview that filters people out based on something other than their ability to do the job - and that means you're not necessarily recruiting the best person. I believe that's a good reason not to use whiteboard tests very often.

They got "frozen" in most languages once written records got widespread enough that it became common to want to be able to cross-index registers and track family relationships. It varies by country, but often it coincides with the introduction of tax authority registers or other large national databases.

I read the article. I saw nothing about a lawsuit.

I also read that the final paper wasn't published until very recently. Why should a research group be forced to distribute raw data years before the paper is finished?

In the US, for example, http://biotech.law.lsu.edu/IEEE/ieee36.htm says "The term, Research Data, is defined as the recorded factual material commonly accepted in the scientific community as necessary to validate research findings. It does not include: preliminary analyses, drafts of scientific papers, ... "

I know nothing about the Australian equivalent.
> 'bash on windows' in reverse

That would be "wine", which has worked surprisingly well several years.
About chip cards: Do you know why the US hasn't cared much about chip cards? The fraud rate is low enough that credit card companies don't need to push it. Chip+pin or chip+sign slows down the process and adds extra barriers to payments.

Plus, you (as a consumer) are only liable for up to $50 of fraudulent charges in the US (it's higher if you are slow to report). But most credit card companies don't make you pay anything when fraud happens.

So until the Target hack happened, there wasn't any motivation for anyone in the payment stack (from consumers to card networks) to move to different tech.

> I wonder if even that is true for California tech companies. California cities feature a diversity which is absent from their local tech companies.

Eh, not where I work in CA (which is not Silicon Valley). Of course we aren't called a "tech" company since we do eCommerce and aren't a startup.

We pretty much reflect the local demographics.

I got a Lumia to get into the whole WinRT model when it got introduced and also because C++ is a first class language on WP.

The whole WinRT/.NET model of WP, and the respective tooling is miles ahead of what Google has managed to pull out of Android.

Even the upcoming Android N with Android Studio takes lots of more resources than VS, doesn't provide a proper experience for NDK users and there isn't a Support Library release that isn't followed up by a quick fix release.

I really don't understand where the skilled developers that master the Google interview process end up working, surely not on Android.

However the WP in small form factors is dead, with the latest promise drop of the 512 MB WP 8.1 devices not getting the WP 10 upgrade they lost the last faithful ones that still believed.

Where it might thrive is as tablet OS, but lets see.
I remember when take-home projects and then online in-your-own-time exercises started becoming popular, and it's unbelievable that people now seem to be doing them in addition to the whiteboard sessions that we all agreed were crappy and trying to figure out how to replace! We really seem to be in a strange spiral where people are complaining ever more loudly that it's hard to find developers, clamoring for trade schools and public education to create more supply, while simultaneously consistently making it harder and more soul-crushingly irritating for qualified people to actually get a job. What's going on here??

Sure you can change words to suit meaning, no problem. I saw an exhibit in SF that consisted of canvases with taxidermied dog parts stapled to them (briefly; I fled). The artist called it art; but it was junk. Defend it all you like; but there was absolutely nothing redeeming about it. You have to draw a line, even if its fuzzy.

Any system in which employees are incentivized by post or performance evaluation metrics to upsell and not strictly monitored to prevent this is going to involve something like it.
