I've always maintained that Wall Street is way fairer to its employees than the Valley. Most investment banks and hedge funds offer great bonuses to their traders/analysts as they should -- they are the ones bringing in money. Relative to the value engineers create for firms like Apple/FB/Google, its easy to see they see peanuts of that value.
I made a simple extension for Firefox and chrome that might be of some use to you. Like you I had trouble with many tabs being open and having a hard time finding them so I made a new extension that opens up a new tab window listing all your tabs that are currently open and when you click on them it navigates to that tab. Simple but very useful in my day to day activities.

If you are anything like me you have a number of windows open for some project or research thing and you had one extra tab that you left open as the last active tab in the window but it's unrelated to the other 10 tabs in that window. The windows menu doesn't help you because that is the tab that is listed as the title of that window.

It's free and opensource[1] for Chrome[2] and Firefox[3].

If you try it and like it/hate it let me know what you might want put into future versions to keep it good/change your opinion of it to the better. It's still early in its development but what's implemented works well so far. Cheers!

Edit: There is a bug in Firefox that I have a patch submitted that will allow the tab titles to show up correctly even when they have been unloaded. for now it shows the URL of the tab until it has been loaded. The patch should land by Firefox 51 hopefully.
There are already bits of Rust code in newer builds of firefox, I think they'll ship first in 47 or 48. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Oxidation

Servo is a fantastic research project but it will be a while before it is "production ready".
There's no facility to record the video in the car either. The video is processed directly in the camera module, and only a high-level summary is sent out from there. There's no connection with the bandwidth needed for video, and not enough storage in the camera module to save it there.
Such a shameless rip off.

A pure hourly rate would seem easy to figure, but I dislike that there is no financial incentive for the negotiator to actually get results. The ideal situation would be for the negotiator to also benefit financially from the result, as he/she would likely be more inclined to push a bit harder.

Perhaps a combination of an hourly rate and either (a) % of salary - which would be very small I assume or (b) % of difference between initial offer and final offer - which would be larger than the percentage in a.

I'd have to think about it, but in the short-term I'd charge my standard hourly coach/consult rate to job seekers which is currently $60/hr.

Many interesting arguments can not be distilled into simple factual statements. Interesting arguments are often complex and nuanced. We write about them to share our thoughts on them with others. Language is a very lossy medium for transmitting thoughts, so we need to include lots of seemingly redundant information. The more details we include, the more of our original thoughts we can confer. Some of the things we spell out might be implied by previous statements; but the more we spell them out, the more we can assure that the reader is making the same associations. Redundant details are a sort of code to protect the integrity of the message.
How are they going to verify your current salary? Do companies really go out of their way to do that?
Why? Does Dodge, ford, chevy, mercedes, etc... have any obligation to step into every crash and turn over all kinds of data? Tesla looks into more crashes than they should, and in turn are being treated more in the wrong for simply looking into it... they do better than any other car company, yet are basically punished for it by groups of people for simply looking into wrecks to see IF there is something there they could do better...

You're a component in a value creating engine which includes the ability to hurdle those barriers to entry, which means you don't get credit (on your own) for the total value that you are able to produce within that system.
You make the strong case that your value-creation in such a scenario is an amplification of value created by other people, and is not actually value created by you in a vacuum. What sense would it make for you to claim priority ownership of that value if you can't create it on your own?
The author's entire argument is that you cannot possibly be excited about being purely a "dumb pipe" company that just sells commodity internet/telecom access (unless you are a government-granted monopoly - then you are no longer a commodity and you have pricing power!).

Google is so successful at the OTT/services level that it could easily build out the fiber infrastructure underneath its internet empire if it wanted to. But it doesn't want to because there's no profit in that! And it's a messy, government-regulation-filled industry that is becoming less and less profitable YoY.

It boils down to: Dumb pipes are a cost center. OTT/services are a revenues center.

Why build your own roads when you can use others? As long as the government keeps those roads in good repair. And Google has a lot of friends in Washington D.C. ;)

A lesson in doing the right thing – David Sacks and Zenefits
The NTSB is involved in the investigation of the Florida case, but not the others. NTSB investigations are rigorous to the extreme, and move at a pace much, much slower than the media events surrounding the other crashes. Any data that Tesla has regarding the crash will be meticulously picked apart and anything relevant will be published in the comprehensive NTSB report. [1] I imagine there is some force compelling Tesla to be more quiet on that case, whether it is deference to the NTSB, or respect for the fatality. Either way, the data will become known eventually, from quite possibly the most transparent and independent source possible. I look forward to the report.

If we did that then we'd all still be stuck with DSL. Electric and gas utilities aren't expected to drastically improve performance year over year, but we want that from our telecom providers.
Your proposed parallel is backwards. The house is for sale to the buyer; the employee's time and skills are for sale to the employer.

So those question would be more like "How much do you pay other employees?" or "How much have you offered other candidates?"

You can ask those questions. Some employers are upfront, even posting salary ranges in the job ad itself. Other employers will decline to share that information.

Either side can reveal as much or as little information about their employment history as they choose. Curtailing freedoms is a heavy-handed act, despite the theoretical advantage to candidates.
Sure, there is this book "The Lazy Dungeon Master" ( http://slyflourish.com/lazydm/ ). Dungeon World also has advice on how to do something similar with its "Fronts" ( http://www.dungeon-world.com/ ).

The writers of The Expanse based their books off of role-playing sessions they did. George R.R. Martin also was an avid role-player. I believe his Wildcards novels were based on his games in the RPG Superworld.
You can argue all you want, but I understand how cost of living works plenty well. SV is expensive but not so expensive that it wipes out $200k in income. If you're careful about expenses you can easily put away tens of thousands annually.

This is backed up by own personal experience as a developer in NYC (hardly a low cost area). I expect to have a million dollars saved up within a decade and I certainly haven't relied on political panache to get there.

Has any entrepreneur or business ever been excited about becoming a commodity? It's a vicious market type with razor thin profit margins, high risk, and short lived success. See airlines and DRAM manufacturing.

As consumers we like it, but I don't think there's anything redeeming about it from the business's point of view. Heck, step #1 in the business playbook is "differentiate".

Financially they don't generally risk anything. Yes, your compensation could end at any time due to termination of your employment, but the risk of not getting paid at some point in the future is unavoidable regardless of whether or not you're an employee. The major difference is that as an employee you're very unlikely to have to put any of your own capital at risk.

There are countries and entities that do take precaution against EOS but do not have up to date information on all platforms, if you want to take the middle east for example then tactical intelligence from time sharing on EROS-B for example which is a civilian EOS which several governments around the world use also for intelligence gathering purposes is considerably poorer than using platforms with less predictable position when targeting local nation states and non-state actors.

As far as safety goes the UN coordinates with all the government and non-government bodies around the world regarding space matters, the process is complex but like anything to do with space it's complex for the right reasons it needs to be thorough and methodical even if there was a database of all US non-civilian platforms online no one in their right mind would use it to base orbital maneuvers that would be considerably less safe than the process we have now unless you want to bet your multi-million dollar platform on how accurate or up-to date that information is.

Everything regarding space is planned months if not years up front, and every time it's verified and validated by coordinating with multiple national and international agencies, when it comes to space one thing you don't do is "save time".
Roadster owners can download raw logs straight from their cars.[1]

For Model S/X, you need a proprietary device to connect to the car's ethernet port (it may be possible to build your own -- not sure if they are encrypted), or you need Tesla to download them and hand them over. Tesla has told me that they will only release logs when ordered to do so by a court, but that they will download and hold them locally upon an owner's request, so that if you think you will have a legal need for them you have time to make that request before they get pruned/deleted by the car.

What google is doing is reducing the cost of a complementary good (quality high speed internet access) to their products.

I'm lucky and have solid internet access even if it's not the fasted. It's very reliable and low latency. But I'd still love some google fiber.

However, I don't think it's fair to attribute altruism or happiness to be a dumb pipe to google.
Unions do not have a good history of preserving value, at least not in the USA.
Maybe cars should be fitted with a third party black box, which can have logs streamed from the car and also record voice and alerts in the cabin.
There is a tremendous amount of risk to go it alone, especially when the alternative is so comfortable and risk free. By all definition you would be crazy to go it alone. The statistics seem to point in that direction.

But then again the reward profile if you are in that 10% to 5% that succeed and have the stomach to continue for the long haul is huge.

I personally am a victim of the 'Analysis Paralysis' that your are alluding to and understand the hesitancy in taking the first step. There is plenty of risk out there and its good to be wary, but if you never take that first step you will never know what your future could be.

Maybe its better to try and fail than never to have tried at all.

Time is not on your side and none of us are getting any younger. (Sorry for all the cliches).
I see these things too. Most developers believe they are much smarter than the average recruiter (which is certainly true) and probably think they can negotiate at least as well with even minimal training or reading. It's a matter of convincing a smart developer that the negotiation will likely provide a better result than would have happened without the assistance, and for a price that seems both fair and reasonable when compared to the amount negotiated.
I think that probably works well in larger enterprises that are intentionally separating their Research orgs from their Product orgs. So that the former isn't ultimately beholden to the same success criteria as the latter. Since the whole point of Research is that it informs future Product, not Product demanding Research.

Though I've noticed an unfortunate trend where large enterprises create a Research org that isn't any such thing and is instead just an incubator for the Product org. It seems to result in sadness for both sides.
One of PyMiniRacer author speaking.

Use cases are many. For instance, Rails uses ExecJS to minify assets, to compile JavaScript assets from ES6 to older JS runtimes using Babel, for compiling CoffeeScript...
In another world - and that's Sqreen use case for this, JavaScript is the 2016 alternative to Lua.

Furthermore, PyMiniRacer is a lightweight alternative to NodeJS if you are a pythonist and need to run JavaScript, for production or for hacking :)
I would never work for a company that went to that level. In 10 years, I havent seen a company pull that. If you suspect that might be part of their hiring process. Just say "I need to make X" and evade all talk of current salary.
>There's no facility to record the video in the car either.

that is really hard to believe. Given how useful dash cams are in cases of accidents, etc..

>and not enough storage in the camera module to save it there.

and how all these dash cams do it? Storing 8hrs or more. If Tesla didn't put an SD card there, it sounds really not smart.

To "mikeash" below: thanks for the link. It does seems like a small camera (thus one can expect low light issues). So Tesla uses 3rd party system - no miracles here, i hoped that they developed their own and thus hoped that they would improve it fast. That using of the 3rd party system explains while there are a lot of things missing that one would naturally expect in the sensing system of an "autopilot" functionality. It is also explains why they are so defensive instead of just going ahead and fixing issues.
Looking into it, Elon Musk said that the radar ignores overhead signs, but he didn't actually say that was what happened in this case:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/748625979271045121?ref_s...

I don't think it matters much. The main thing is that the system didn't detect the trailer. Exactly why it failed to detect the trailer is interesting, but doesn't change anything about fault or responsibility. And if Tesla is still considering the possibility, then apparently it's hard enough to figure out that just releasing logs wouldn't help us.
Hmm, I see those "blacklight" CFL ultraviolet lamps as violet-white. I see the sameish color on ultraviolet lasers. Am I the only one who sees it that way? Can anyone describe how they perceive those lamps?

Communicating color is extremely difficult!
Word sized integers are fast to compute. So as long as your problem can be expressed with them, it is the fastest way to perform math. When using Common Lisp, I have flexible sized integer numbers, which is nice to have, but the performance penalty can be sometimes too high.

> No steering torque was then detected until Autosteer was disabled with an abrupt steering action. Immediately following detection of the first impact...

Well, which way did the driver steer? Away from the barrier to avoid more damage, like he claims, or into it causing the accident in the first place? This statement is ambiguous and I get the feeling from reading the whole PR response that Tesla is either omitting or cherry-picking information to obfuscate the truth.
Thanks, definitively keeping my eyes open on Firefox in the future.
Perhaps, if the test offers a strategic or tactical advantage. I work in biotech on FDA regulated devices and assays. Just throwing something out there doesn't mean it has sufficient clinical utility to reach volume, and the process is very expensive.
> Somebody (usually several somebodies) took the chance to create a support structure to enable said person to create the millions of dollars in value.

A tech company contains a lot of structure, and very little of that is actually geared toward enabling anyone to create millions of dollars of value. A large portion of that structure exists to enable the management of a company to justify taking in large profits. It's should surprise no one that those creating the structure would create it in a way that benefits them.

I know a few people who work at a tech cooperative, which has mostly developers with 1 secretary who manages benefits/taxes/etc. and 1 "business liaison" who manages customer communication. They've created millions of dollars of value without most of the structure, and it's no coincidence that they're all set to retire in their late 30s.

It is immoral however if they cherry-pick sensor data and issue press reports that only favor Tesla consistently.
Exactly. This should get you a long way.

If it's really a deal-breaker (maybe standard red tape or other BS), I say "My previous/current salary is $W, but I'm looking for $X."

After all, there is a reason you're leaving your current employer, right?
Holy cow! Thanks for this tip.
> Telecom companies should be regulated like electric and gas utilities

Well, played out to the full extent of electric and gas utilities, I doubt few of us actually want telecom to go the same way.

With the utility companies - you often get zero choice of which company services your home. Usually these are government sanctioned monopolies, without competition.

Yes, the government may set the maximum rates, but they can't force a utility company to actually be a "good" company. Customer service, willingness to problem solve, be flexible for customers, provide better service at the same price - let alone reduce rates, etc.

With a telco acting as a utility, over the long term, there's little incentive to provide better service... which essentially is the core issue of the Net Neutrality movement.

What we need instead, is to foster an environment in which every city has 5-6+ telco's capable of servicing every home. We need to get out of the 1-2 telco company system, and create a competitive environment in which consumers have massive choice.

The ability to leave a company and take your business elsewhere is what keeps companies performing and doing better by their customers. They offer cheaper rates, along with better service, etc.

We've seen this working to great effect in the wild. Every city Google Fiber has encroached on, suddenly saw the incumbent telco's massively upgrade service offerings at cheaper rates.

We need more competition - not government sanctioned monopolies.
You should align fee structures.

I tell you what I think I can get out of an employer. If you think you can get more, you take me on as a client and receive x% of the additional amount.
Competition drives down prices. Everyone likes that fact except for when it is applied to their own price.

I start out in google docs because it's convenient and the change history is nice to have. I do this instead of plain text because I like adding some formatting as I write. If the book gets over 200 pages (or thereabouts) google docs starts to have problems and then I switch over to Pages on OSX. There, I save edits to google drive as I go. When it comes to (self) publishing time, I actually end up typesetting in word (for print) because it's the easiest, least horrible tool for that (though still horrible). HTML for kindle.
There's no need for gas/electricity to drastically improve year over year. But when there is a need, as there is with electric cars, the government steps in and offers tax credits and covers the installation fees for things like home car chargers.
