It really all depends on who they hire, the form of flexibility/freedom they are given, how many years they have to work, and how much is invested. As has been shown by Google's foray into formal "progressive research," unlimited budget means nothing if you've put idiots or borderline (or outright) Sociopaths/Psychopaths/Narcissists in the key positions.
Laws still require enforcement. And from what I've seen California is a bit over-hyped in many ways, including how liberal/progressive it is, how hard it is to start and run a business, and how well it protects employees.

Ask HN: Good source code search engines?
I recently saw an article on HN about how to use GitHub's search as a starting point when writing code. That indeed is a great trick and it has already helped me save a lot of time.

Unfortunately, GitHub's search is very lacking and most of the time instead of showing relevant search results it just shows lots and lots of duplicates for the main library.

For example, I was searching for this[1], but the search results show the Main SDK files and not the files created with the SDK (which is what would've helped me). I couldn't find a way to suppress the files or duplicate searches.

So I tried looking for a good source code search engine and I've find none so far. I've tried almost everything I could find on Google and Quora but most of these services are either discontinued (Google code, etc) or very bad.

So, I was wondering what you guys use to search source code? And are there any other tricks like GitHub's search that can increase coding productivity (I think searching SO is also very useful).

Everyone's situation is different of course. Bicycle commuting is frequently oversold; The sweet spot for cycling is 2 miles or less or 2-5 miles, which accounts for a lot of trips, but lots of people live farther than that from work.

How long has this been out for? Just downloaded it and it's everything I dreamed that Chatroulette could be.
Coincidentally, yesterday I attended a talk by Bernardo Kastrup on the topic of finding our purpose in life. Kastrup is a philosophical idealist, he explained an alternative to the existentialist view of creating your own story and meaning in a essentially meaningless universe outside of ourselves reasoning in part from recent insights in physics. For example:

* S. Gröblacher, T. Paterek, R. Kaltenbaek, Č. Brukner, M. Żukowski, M. Aspelmeyer, and A. Zeilinger. An experimental test of non-local realism. Nature 446, 871–875 (2007)
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v446/n7138/abs/nature05...

In minute 38 I ask the question if he can describe an example of finding meaning in life.
https://youtu.be/D-EeF1quouY?t=2305

In one of his books he says the meaning of life is "about experiencing existence, in all its angles and glory, for the sheer and pure sake of experience itself! We don’t eat a nice meal, make love or travel to beautiful locations just to understand or make sense of something. We do these things because the experiences themselves imbue our lives with a kind of timeless meaning, independent of comprehension."
-- Kastrup, Bernardo. More Than Allegory: On Religious Myth, Truth And Belief (p 203). John Hunt Publishing.

Ask yourself the right question in the moment itself, fully aware of your emotions and the things around you, and the answers could rise up automatically - 'the meaning of life' cannot be an armchair intellectual exercise he says.
This has been my experience in life as well, it takes practise to get back to the Nexus. As Dr. Soran tells Picard: "They say time is the fire in which we burn. Right now, Captain, my time is running out. We leave so many things unfinished in our lives... I know you understand"
Just because they used the same IP twice doesn't mean the IP address corresponds directly to an ISP account paid for by the attacker(s). Could just be a zombie or any of a dozen other means of misdirection. It's a safe assumption that the FBI is competent in these matters and knows a lot more about this than they're saying even in this leaked document.

creating quality content is not easy but you have a good start. I think you should adopt a publisher model, you already have captive audience in terms of paying customers for your niche. You can find out what else would be relevant to your customers and design a curriculum around it, no content, just the table of content for your next course. You might as well publish it to your website in coming soon section and give early bird discount(which would guarantee paying customer and fund the development of course.) if you don't get any customers don't go further in developing that course.
Outsource the research on material for your TOC to virtual assistants, they will be responsible for curating and providing you the quality material. Once you have all these you can as well hire an intern with good communication skills who is interested in this course (say machine learning) but may not have the knowledge. Groom him and ask him to come up with writeup for your TOC. Hier high paid thought leader for this course as identified by your assistants while doing the research and let him be the editor for the content.
RESIST any attempt to do it yourself if intern/assistants are not able to do it the way you want, just be patient.
Rinse and repeat and send me 1M$ that you make from your next niche ;-)
Your argument boils down to:

Large corporations do not have to sell employment.
Potential employees should feel honored to merely be contacted on the basis of an opportunity.

This sounds a lot like a cargo cult, or some weird corporatism worship.

Frankly if I'm contacted by a recruiter who is a direct employee of a company, and it is blatantly obvious I'm receiving a form letter based on a keyword search of a resume data base. I know exactly what my role will be at this company, an employee ID in a database row.

The domain cost is probably 90% of what it costs to host a web site. The problem with sub-domains is you have a weaker ownership and much higher risk compared to owning a .com domain, it's not like Verisign will shut down anytime soon and take all .com domains with them. I would be surprised if the sub domain you used in high-school still exists and links to your webpage.
I also used to run a few web pages on free hosting in high-school, but they have been shut down a long time ago, so the links no longer works. But at least I still have some of the source code saved.

Initially if you want to keep a beehive you have to get queen+bees. You can start either with a few frames of brood and bees and a new queen, package or the best option with a natural swarm.

I personally recommend natural swarm for a first hive. You get to start clean and from scratch. Bees from natural swarm are eager to start building their new home and are usually much quicker to establish a colony than bees from frames with brood or package.

And that's why I stopped using python for any web-related work and even general purpose scripting in favor of nodejs es6 or typescript. What happens in nodejs between a x.1 and a x.6 minor version is probably equivalent to a python 1.1 to python 2.7 one as amount of features added, except there are no backward compatibility breaks. I can't stand this attitude! Especially since the switching effort is incredibly small compared to any other language (ever switched Ruby major versions or PHP ones for a comparison?).

(But yeah, I still use python for ML, and very much enjoy it here. Less syntactical masturbation better for focusing on the problem and not the tools.)

Yep. It's bad enough when the democrats and republicans rig elections.
Legal consensus? De-centralised elections are not something we should give away in a panic. The costs and benefits need to be weighed before a prudent plan is developed and implemented.

Rushing to put the nation's electoral system under the federal guidance of an organisation not precisely lauded for its transparency or democratic values is at least a bit troubling.

Voting is such a simple and cheap thing to undertake if you do it on paper.

It's precise, it's easily observable, it's easy for people to understand where their vote goes. It's also easy to grasp how the election is protected from manipulation.

With electronic voting systems it is physically impossible to prevent manipulation and provide control.

I worked for a company years ago that was in the same situation that you are in now. I was the first employee brought in to assist with the more day to day operations of the business. Things went well for a while. We added on more staff and I moved up and that's when I started to see the problems with the founder. His lack of management skills began to take its toll and the company was dead in the water six months later.

Finally this solves the “notes problem”
I think Andrew's post hijacked this thread - not his fault.

You make a good point, but I would like to make it more broad. The purpose, the secret to life, and to fulfillment, is being of value to others. Children are just the most immediate, appropriate people to be of value to, and it's often in a service capacity.

I think becoming a parent is the most effective way to reset our own egos. I think being self-serving is built-in and there are all sorts of wonderful benefits to that evolutionary mechanism.

To Thompson's point, we are all just floating until we find a purpose. Floating has little value. So, it is worthwhile to adopt a purpose for the value that it provides. When that purpose ceases to provide value it should be abandoned in the most severe way possible. Through this process we have the potential to identify our character and our abilities.

And for those in and around Andrew's comments:
ful·fill·ment
fo͝olˈfilmənt
noun
1. satisfaction or happiness as a result of fully developing one's abilities or character.
Inheritance does not naturally follow from the existence of private capital. Just because the state protects wealth earned by someone does not mean it needs to commit to protecting the transfer of that wealth after death.

To the contrary, inheritance is a weird construct. Dead people don't have property rights--inheritence is a whole mechanism to get around that.

Of course if we got rid of inheritance people would just make inter vivos gifts.

I mean that there is no known empirical method for receiving a datapoint about the mind. We can know things about the brain, we can ask people to talk about their experiences, but we can't receive the actual contents of the experiences.

There may be laws prohibiting them from keeping information about employees/interns for that long. Many countries have information privacy laws (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_privacy_law) stating that companies can only keep PII insofar as needed to operate their business, and keeping, for instance, your address around years after you left the company isn't needed to operate the business.

The USA has weak laws there (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_privacy_law#United...), but those of California are stronger, and the likes of Google run the risk of information 'leaking' to other countries.

It typically is easier for a company to ditch an entire employee/intern record than to filter it for to-be-discarded information.

Of course, for employees or interns, they also typically are obliged to keep records for some time, for the tax office or because former employees might still file a claim.

Still, they probably will ditch everything they have on employees as soon as they are allowed to.
