New York had a big anti-vandalism push as part of Giuliani's "broken window" based campaign to clean up the city.
Thanks for the feedback. You make some great points. I'll respond to each.

1. I originally wanted to include the book REMOTE, but figured it'd be better to give customers a choice of books. Then I just opted for the gift card instead for simplicity.

2. I like that idea. I didn't include shipping originally because I have no idea what it will actually cost, and was hoping to offset that risk initially. Totally agree going forward.

3. Just picked a specific niche that I knew it would appeal to in the beginning.

4. Good idea.
If I remember correctly, it's a sort of co-op degree in France where you spend part of your time in an educational facility, and some time in a company. The ones I've seen last about a year if I'm not mistaken.

There's a bit of a naming confusion going on. First, the title Engineer. In France, many universities propose the title "Ingénieur" (Engineer), but not all have the seal of the Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur (CTI). If one wants to be an Engineer's Engineer, they must look up the University and see if the CTI sort of recognizes that degree as "Ingénieur", or a "true Scotsman".
The funny thing is, I suspect that many people believe that to be the law already, if cinema and television audiences are anything to go by. That's quite scary really, because it simply isn't true. You can't entrap, but that has a very specific meaning. Even if it were against the law though, with the system as it is prosecutorial discretion and grand juries that insulate LEO's from murder would do so for lesser crimes (and do).

>Loneliness - the emotion of being disconnected. You feel physical pain in your intestines and chest when you see others enjoying themselves. You sleep lightly and wake often. Your immune system starts to slow and you start to get sick. Your metabolism slows down, yet you eat more often than usual. Your circulation slows, and you feel cold.

Is it some sort of a hyperbole or I really have to hate people and be physically sick to qualify as a lonely person according to psychiatrists?
I think your argument that discriminatory companies will lose out to companies willing to hire more broadly is flawed for a few reasons:

1. Markets are not perfectly efficient. If Apple decided not to hire female engineers they wouldn't immediately be overtaken by another company that can use access to a larger labor pool as a decisive advantage. Even if this would be a disadvantage because other companies would hire women, they might still win due to other advantages.

2. Often the same prejudice that affects hiring is held by the customers. If a restaurant in a racist community refuses to hire minorty workers, they might do better than other restaurants. This makes it even more important to enforce fair hiring practices judicially.
Nope. Definitely not. It's actually even larger than that. Just got overlooked in shipping as quickly as possible.
From wiki:

While Secretary General [of NATO], Ismay is also credited as having been the first person to say that the purpose of the alliance was "to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down," a saying that has since become a common way to quickly describe the alliance.

High speed chases are a bigger threat to public safety than speeders, so simply not pursuing most speeders and escalating situations would probably save more lives in the long run. They have license plate trackers, cameras, etc - they don't have to chase people down and personally hand them a ticket.

But if they did have to, then the police should be charged for speeding as well, since a speeding police car presents the same potential danger as a civilian one.
> I for one expect to become old at some point.

So what? You're scared people won't think you can keep up with those young whippersnappers so you need the government to step in?

Those same rules would be the ones that held you back when you were younger because companies would be forced to hire, or not fire, incompetent old people. Or is this like a tiered system you feel you've paid your dues, having passed that stage of your life where you're classified as "young", and now want to reap the rewards the old people have been dangling in front of you?

Planting the Seed: Raising Our First Round Out of YC
I don't really understand the objection to this. Continuing to operate the site for a short period in order to catch more pedophiles seems fine to me. They weren't abusing children themselves, and shutting down the site wouldn't have prevented the continuing abuse of children by its users.

All shutting it down immediately would have done is prevented them from sharing the photos with each other, which seems like an extraordinarily small price to pay to catch even a single additional child molester, let alone a whole community of them.
Enter any sites against each other and see what cars we think they'd be.
There are several factors that lead to the posting ending up on the first page. One factor is time of day--if it is there early in the morning east coast time, it is more likely to get attention.

And early votes (like within the first hour) will more likely propel it to the first page.
Maybe things have gotten better. There was a story a day ago about using deep learning for their recommendation engine.

>It just feels lazy. You're passing the buck to another dev who may be working on the code, weeks, months or years down the line. What are they supposed to do about it? Randomly rewrite working code and risk introducing a bug?

Yes. If it's a performance problem weeks, months, or years down the road, the developer then is supposed to rewrite it, possibly introducing bugs, but also solving the performance problems that manifested in the past weeks, months, or years.

>If you think the input might reasonably scale to a size that will cause an issue then do some preemptive defensive coding and fix it. Otherwise don't.

I don't know about you, but I'm not omniscient. I can make some pretty good guesses, but I can't predict the future. Optimizing the code now to be super efficient when I'm pretty sure it won't be necessary would be a massive waste of time. But on the off chance it is necessary, I'd like to give a hint to myself (or another dev) about why I did what I did, and give some assurances that it's a place that can be pretty easily optimized if needed.

>If I'm looking for performance problems, I'm not scanning for source code TODOs. I load a profiler and I'll see which methods take too much time.

Again, I'm not leaving TODOs I'm leaving comments explaining the code a little. But I completely agree with that whole statement, and it's exactly what I do as well. But when I get to a method that is taking too much time, I can now see a small comment saying it's running in O(n^2) and there is no technical reason why it needs to. Now I can spend less time checking if it needs to run that slowly, and can get right into fixing it.

The handful of bytes taken up by that comment, and the few seconds it took me to write it isn't going to make anything worse for anyone, and it might make life easier for someone in the future, so i'll do it.
This quote made me laugh -

"LinkedIn creates friction by preventing users from communicating with distant connections. This ensures that users do not receive unsolicited messages. This also allows LinkedIn to offer frictionless access (OpenMail) as a premium value proposition."

I'd say my inmail is 95% unsolicited messages from people who have bought access.
> it's a sort of co-op degree in France where you spend part of your time in an educational facility, and some time in a company

In France this is called “alternance”. I don’t know about OP but you can have a “Licence professionnelle” with or without “alternance”; it depends on your school/university.

Market forces work with rational actors, assuming the difference between the rational act and the irrational act are large enough. Discrimination is inherently irrational, but it's pernicious because the effects on the company aren't nearly as big as the effects on the discriminated person. And in some cases, discrimination may be beneficial to the bottom line if every company does it, like redlining in the 1960's or high interest rates for black people in the 2000's.

As to why it's a problem? Because we want everyone to get a fair deal.

If you need an argument beyond the moral one, or the one about what sort of country do you want to live in, how about because economic growth at the macro level tends to increase when barriers to employment, capital and other resources are decreased.

Since we know that discrimination is irrational, laws aimed at preventing discrimination as a barrier to employment and capital serve to increase economic prosperity at the cost of reducing what you correctly characterise as stupid behavior.
>why is age discrimination a problem?

1). Same thing that's wrong with racial discrimination and LGBT discrimination, etc.

2). It's illegal.

3). It's stupid and hurts our economy by making it less efficient.

4). Reverse age discrimination: This is wrong and inefficient also, but unfortunately legal. If you face this it's highly annoying but there are strategies to work around it. It might require changing jobs but you can usually find someone who appreciates your talent if it is truly something special.
Our experience with other forms of discrimination show that the markets do not correct this way.
New York had one of the first subway systems in the world. It's not air conditioned because they didn't have AC at the turn of the 20th century. The street grid was also designed without alleys, hence the trash bags.
My local Apple store has a bunch of older people working in the store. They are often just as knowledgeable as the younger kids running around, and have all kinds of cool stories to tell about how things "used to be done".

I actually prefer to work with one of the older people when making my purchase because I don't feel nearly as rushed and it seems to me to be a lot more personal...
After I switched to Dvorak and achieving 80WPM, I switched back and my QWERTY had gone from 80WPM to 100WPM.

The point was that with life-long auto-didact QWERTY skills, I don't use all my fingers, and my dominant hand actually covers slightly more area. Learning Dvorak from scratch bought me some discipline. Takeaway: Besides playing speed typing games, perhaps learn a new layout simply for the dexterity exercise.

I can attest strongly to these optimizations - and for everybody who is saying "don't worry about it" in these threads you would be surprised at how wrong/bad JS perf is without these.

Every function call in JS (even named functions that do not have to be created at execution time) have logarithmic decrease in performance (this means your 2nd function call can half your performance).

Using these techniques and others, we've been able to get some unbelievable results (30M to 50M ops/sec) for our JavaScript library. Check out this link for a podcast on how we did it as well as more information: https://github.com/amark/gun/wiki/100000-ops-sec-in-IE6-on-2... .

Discrimination law doesn't protect incompetent people, Incompetence is always a reason to fire someone, and inability to do the job is always a reason to not hire someone. It only protects competent people from incompetent racist, agist, sexist or other discriminatory idiots.
I love this casual implicit assumption that the existence of large-scale crime syndicates with nothing in practice to fear from the law is in no way noxious to society. Tell me more.

Age discrimination laws (or really ant discrimination laws) are not about being fired or not hired because of incompetence or inability.

Companies are perfectly free to not hire someone because they can't do the work.

Change the law to make it legal for police to exceed the speed limit, in clearly specified circumstances.

Which, by the way, is the way it already works.

"Police have to break the law to do their jobs" is not a defense, because the law can be changed.

If the police want to run a child porn ring to catch pedophiles, let them try to get the law changed to allow that. Having the police decide which laws they are and aren't allowed to break is not a recipe for a free and just society.

I have absolutely no idea. The entire focus of my software development philosophy for a decade or has been to make programs easier for humans to understand, not easier to write proofs about (although there's some overlap). I do wonder how big the weak but extremely useful class of properties (like Rust's memory safety) is.

I use C3. Used to use HighCharts at last job. Both are really good.

C3 builds on top of D3 (D3 is a requirement). The documentation is ok, but I like the way it builds the more simple charts I'm creating now.

HighCharts is full featured and heavier. Its amazing what it can do. It falls back to older browsers fairly easily. It wasn't free though.

Prerequisites for classes are oftentimes a suggestion, you can easily get into a class you don't meet the prerequisites for by simply signing up for the class (most class registration systems don't bar this), or by emailing the professor and getting an override. Furthermore, if you're a non-degree seeking student, the university cares very little about you, so you can skate by with a lot more freedom with classes.
Southern California is a lot more age-balanced in that respect than the SF Bay Area. Depends a lot on where you go, but plenty of places in L.A. and San Diego are full of older people. Especially certain times of day, e.g. breakfast at any diner is mostly older people.

I'm glad researchers are making progress on figuring out how to surpass the limitations of silicon. But best to take PR articles like this with a grain of salt of course.

"Carbon nanotube transistors should be able to perform five times faster or use five times less energy than silicon transistors, according to extrapolations from single nanotube measurements."

Well, that's the real trick isn't it? Other factors will come into play when you scale from one transistor to a billion. Heat dissipation, physical size, and practicality of manufacture are all open questions. This technology is still many many years away.

Without "alternance" as in full time in school or full time in company? I'd guess the latter since the name is "Licence professionnelle" and not spending time in a company would defeat the purpose.
I'm going to call bullshit. There's nothing special about the scent of a storage device, vs the scent of a PCI card, vs the scent of any other piece of consumer electronics. The very thought that "porn" makes some storage smell different is just complete magical thinking. Also, define "porn".

I disagree. Even though the infrastructure is old, the public transportation in Manhattan is leagues better than most other American cities, considering what you can access. Especially the bay area.

Living in the NYC area is also much cheaper even before figuring for car ownership costs.
All of your assumptions are wrong and ironically, ignorant probably due to your lack of experience.

Rest assured most people only want fair treatment based on merit. Anyone looking for some kind of rest and vest treatment or tenure based security is wrong and that's not what age discrimination is about.

As for the young, if you have truly special talents I know many companies who wouldn't care if you're just out of highschool.

The article is pretty spot on, except for the title.

DJs today are a combination of DJ and Producer. The article doesn't mention it but a lot of DJs outsource that job to 'ghost producers'.

It also seems that some groups work together in that sense too. One focuses more on Djing and the other on Producing.

Compared to Vinyl, CDJs and Controllers such as Traktor give you more freedom to manipulate the sound. With Vinyl, I've always felt limited to the sound compared to a traditional instrument. With Traktor I have more ways to manipulate the sound.

DJing has always been using technology to transcend the medium. I don't understand the argument with Digital vs. Analog. The fact that people don't have to carry crates full of songs anymore is because of Digital.
Assuming that employers are going to stumble upon the HTML version of your resume, I would cut out this line from the top:

There's only so much above-the-fold space on a webpage (especially on mobile) and it's not worth devoting such valuable real-estate telling people how much you hate anything, nevermind two important skillsets.

Also, your design sense seems to be fine, and you obviously care enough about front-end code on your webpage to have decent typography and legibility and not just use Bootstrap right of the box.

edit: "above-the-fold" meaning top-of-the-page. Sorry, read too many newspapers in my day
"why is age discrimination a problem?"

In my opinion, people get used to everything, bad times and good times. People that have been fortunate enough become entitled to it and believe the world needs to sustain their lifestyle forever, if necessary by law.

I was extremely lucky in my twenties and could earn as much as an experienced professional at the end of his career. I was educated, young and brilliant,tall and attractive, traveled person who speak several languages and hard working who dominated the new technologies.

This was something like a dream, not possible before technology made it a reality for me to compete with old people.

You simply get used to the lifestyle and believe it is normal. But as you get older of course if companies could replace you with young people, they will. This fact that you loved when you were young and benefited you, now looks like a treat to your lifestyle.

I continue being lucky(and I have my own business), but I have seen people make assumptions about their luck being eternal, with bad consequences.

Like football players or film actors that could earn tens of millions of dollars in a year. Instead of realizing how lucky they have been they start believing they deserve it. When they stop playing sports or a famous actress is replaced with someone younger, they get depressed, become drug or alcohol addicts...
Some might say that your description could basically be used as the dictionary entry for "police." It's been suggested that they're the best-armed gang on the streets, if not the best-disciplined.

How to protect content theft
For the same other forms of hiring discrimination are a problem. The market doesn't solve every problem. For groups that are significant minorities within a candidate population, discrimination in hiring is unlikely to lead to a severe enough shortage of good workers to outweigh the unthinking unfairness of explicit or implicit discrimination. Further, if _no_ companies are hiring a certain group of people, then there will be no impact at all. In any case, it's morally wrong, regardless of market impact.

Refusing to hire people who are "too young" is also a problem, but it's far, far less common. Discrimination against qualified candidates for being "too old" is extremely common. Typically we would want to focus on the bigger problems first, but obviously attempts to bring age discrimination problems to light will probably help at both ends of the spectrum.
