Is this in Sweden? In the U.S., if a carrier wants to build fiber in a town or suburb, they have to build all the fiber first, then hope people sign up for $70-$100 per month with no money paid up front.

What you describe sounds like a great model. It'd be very difficult to do it in the U.S.
The public exchanges are a slap in the face. Companies like walmart expect the government to pay for healthcare. The poor wanted socialized healthcare to make WalMart et al pay for it. The poor desire the destruction of the insurance industry, and what they got was what they already had only with IRS penalties.
The debt can be secured against the assets its buying, and if not explicitly secured, debt holders are still pretty high on the pecking order in bankruptcies.

A major reason to do it is that in the US debt is massive tax advantaged compared to things like stock, and a major reason for entities to lend out money for something like this is how poorly other less risky vehicles are paying in this era of financial repression (http://lexicon.ft.com/Term?term=financial-repression or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_repression).

Apple's quiet failure has more to do with forgetting key values than the fact that the car market is incredibly difficult. (Of course it is, but that's not even the main issue.)

Jobs era Apple had a clear focus on user benefits. They were part imaginary - look and feel, styling, status - but part real, in the sense that when you bought an Apple product you were getting a specific set of experiences and possibilities which you probably felt were exciting, novel, and cool.

Cook era Apple has lost that. Apple Maps was me-too, the hardware is me-too - competing with the old Apple against itself - and the new projects don't have the old vision.

What's the novel, exciting benefit of Watch? Er...

Apple has missed some important markets, including home automation (currently a mix of competing products that barely work together, and often barely work at all), the indie content creation market (which it half-owned with podcasting, but then gave away to YouTube), and social networking.

But the biggest difference is the shift from an Apple that tried to make products to empower and delight people, including creators, to an Apple that encourages passive consumption of its products/objects/services, because "we make stuff and market it to you, and you buy it."

It's a lot easier to do the latter than the former. It looks like a subtle shift but it's really a complete change in direction. And it has made Apple a much less interesting company.
Well, i guess the day is not far away where a NN dreaming your face into a homemade porn move, could automate this sort of scam. But if everyone is scamable- noone is.

1) pole rights matter. In San Francisco, att also owns the poles and does everything they can to prevent other people from using them. I would tell installs that it would be 30 days from the day we got permitted until the circuit was installed, but that despite there being a 30-day limit on replies for pole permits, many times att would wait 180 days before issuing access permits. It was honestly a joke around the office.

2) many cities do not have above-ground power and fewer still have above-ground telco without power. I have not researched this extensively so I am not sure if google picked places with poles specifically, but that would be a smart move. That being said, imagining att would let them use the poles was not really reasonable.
It sounds to me like you also need to start focusing on atomic functions and abstractions more in general. Your functions should do one things as I mentioned.

Regarding "map," "reduce" is probably the one you want to learn first because you can express many functional constructs like "map" in terms of "reduce."

As a general word, parsing command lines almost always tends to be ugly. My general advice here would be to use the built-in stuff or at least a well-used library as much as possible. If you are finding that you are doing a lot of work yourself or using reg-exs that you made, that's often a side that you are doing something wrong.

Anyway, lots more but I don't want to overwhelm. Good luck!
You had such a good point, until you scuttled it all by going pointlessly political and partisan. There is a problem here, but it's utterly without a political identity. The bottom line is that we need price controls, and something like an NHS; the current model is just utterly broken. Nothing the R's or D's are saying will change it either, and laying it at one person's feet is pathetic and wrongheaded.

Design is entirely personal preference. Therefore information-first is a good bet if you want to absorb as large of a demographic as possible. Keep the layout and page design simple. Load times should be fast or nearly instant for that sleek professional feel.

Minimalist modern design, sans any kind of framework (like Bootstrap for example) is the name of the game.

Perhaps "overspecialisation" then. Plenty of people build early computers while having other interests on the side. And the microcomputer era was substantially driven by people doing it as a hobby.
That's not exactly how our economy works.

Those expensive wars are fought with expensive weapons, which are mostly still made here by American companies. Those soldiers fighting those wars are citizens with full time jobs for many years.

Healthcare is another thing that's made here and someone is getting paid when we pay an efficient amount or simply overpay.

So killing ourselves is all a matter of perspective, some people are doing quite well.
This does depend how you work and what you're working on. Since the default is your workflow, it'd be nice to have a command which dealt with the workflow of only changing files you wish to be in the next commit (which I imagine is also very common).

The article refers to the secret car project that was never launched. It is fairly likely that in Jobs' time there were a fair amount of cancelled or downscaled projects as well but we just haven't heard of them. For example, the TV comes to mind - there were a lot of rumors about it at the time, and it was mentioned in his biography - and nothing came of it.

In addition to the other fine points, I'd point out that "anti-abuse" is going to be "not revenue generating". I wouldn't expect that team to be very stable.

The temptation is probably to try to rationalize how obviously important it is, but that's true of everything in the business so it carries no weight. It's not revenue generating. You don't need to convince me it's revenue generating, you need to convince management, who will be looking at a revenue sheet at the time and seeing negative numbers from that department. It may be shortsighted but companies looking at significant chances of failure in the short term get shortsighted. They have to.

That said, as you suggest, the worst case scenario is that you join and then you lose the job, and then you're back to not having a job. If you can tolerate that financially, then it may still be a good risk. But please be sure you can tolerate that financially.
poor? I work for a small company that offers horrible insurance because almost everyone 50-60+. We have 4 people in our family and we're about 20k over the median income line. Insurance companies want 15K a year plus 2.5k deductible before they pay dime 1. Exchange, insurance at work doesn't matter both are completely un-affordable.

Hi Chris, question about a very minor part of your sales funnel.

The question about sharing the customers photo & painting on your site defaults to YES (which is 'free') and offers a NO option at +$3 extra charge.

Pricing theory, I'm particularly thinking of loss aversion, would suggest you'd get more customers selecting your preferred option of YES if you offer a discount for making this selection (-$3) and leave the rate unchanged for those declining to share.

I'm curious if you A/B tested this pricing option and found the +$3 charge more successful (assuming you are trying to maximise customers opting to share their photos)? Anecdotally I'd be more inclined to pick the option that gives me a discount, if it existed.

Huh?

The article is about Obamacare, aka Hillarycare. Seems on-topic to me.
I'm in the same boat. To cover my wife and child on top of my employee portion of insurance, I'm at ~$1200 a month. It's more than my car and rent. Going through a long drawn out process of lowering my spending income down ~$15k a year only to move to ~20k with 2017 increases.

I'm with m_gray though. Either party doesn't matter to me. Not a fan of Hillary or Trump. Just want someone to actually make a difference that doesn't include a higher cost to my wallet every time they enact something.
I think you hit the nail in the head.

Most poor people are worried about making ends meet the very last thing they are thinking about is their taxes and possible IRS penalties. They are expecting a refund and not to get hit with a fine. This is really just another burden on the middle class, it was for sure an unintended side effect by the folks who came up with his law.
So what are you bugging shykes for? You have achieved everything Docker offers, and you had fun in the process. Seems like you're smart enough to realize that.

In my younger and more foolish days, and inspired by Steve Jobs, I tried to literally live life as if every day were my last in an effort to be productive. I discovered that if it were my last day on earth, I would much rather spend the time joking around with friends or family rather than working, and I fell into the same funk you describe.

If anything, I discovered what my priorities in life were. But I could have done without the moodiness, procrastination, and cognitive dissonance.
> Remember that it is quarterly revenue. That gives an average revenue of %636K per year per employee, which does not sound that bad.

Oh wow I totally missed that. I thought it was annualized.

Okay that changes my question to, "How the hell can you not turn a profit making $636K per employee?!". As in how seriously inefficient and overpaid is this company?

Absolutely - this is an attempt to pick up the creative market that Apple is neglecting.

The problem is that it's not really that big a market. This machine is too expensive for general use, and has the disadvantage of Windows for professional use.

I think a lot of designers are going to be interested enough to look at it, but sales aren't going to be anywhere near iMac volumes.

How the Agile Development Approach Can Help to Grow and Improve Your Business
I've been running my personal projects website ( http://www.michalpaszkiewicz.co.uk ) for just over 2 years and I get a job offer almost every week (not just the typical spamming recruiters, but startup owners who said they liked my work). I'm also pretty certain I got my current job due to the fact I could impress my interviewers with my open source code. My design isn't great but what counts is the amount of material that is out there and how good it is. I'm not looking for design jobs, so my lack of design skills doesn't matter.

Things like FOREACH are good sane defaults, so the justification only happens based on what you are doing like in the performance example.

IQueryable actually is a superset of IEnumerable (implements it - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.linq.iquerya...). It is generally useful if you want the laziness and ORM/ORM-like features. If you are using LINQ with SQL, then it would be better to return something like that for many use-cases. IEnumerable is good for general use of course and when you want to make the assumption that you "don't need" all that stuff which is pretty good one for more general cases where you just want read-only results or lazy read-only results (via things like yield).

I agree about potential. Nested FOR and IFs though raises that potential hugely. There is rarely a reason to be nesting more than a few levels deep. In many decades of programming, of course I have deeply nested, yet I have refactored it each time. I have managed to avoid doing excessive nesting the entire time as have most of my colleagues. I am sure someone can find a piece of code somewhere written for something that simply cannot be refactored well or justifies itself otherwise, but I'm not afraid to say statistically that is easy to avoid and hard to justify. I think the nesting issue just raises a bunch of flags including: performance, composability, reusability, clarity, maintenance, and cloaking. So in that sense I do feel it is what you describe as an anti-pattern more than a code smell.
Whether or not the complaint is legitimate is irrelevant.

If you're going to complain about somebody, you should expect people to complain right back about you. When they do so, writing a post whining about it ends up looking childish -- it's hardly "stalking" or "thought policing". People complain about each other's writing style on the internet all the time. Being butthurt about getting an email isn't so rare and precious that you should write a thinkpiece about it and post it to HN.
I'd do it.

For one, if you can help fix the abuse problem, you would be helping out a lot of people. It sounds like interesting work, I know there are lots of great people at Twitter and if you think you can grow there, I see little downside.

It's also really difficult to say what premiums would have been without the changes the ACA made. Medical inflation has slowed since the law was passed, but again, I think it is difficult to figure out how much of that to attribute to the ACA.

Why? If you would have qualified for Medicaid, had it expanded, you don't have to pay the penalty anyway - the government doesn't punish you because your state didn't expand Medicaid.

Only if you qualify for the subsidized private coverage (which poor people do not) do you have to pay a penalty for not getting health insurance. Frankly that part of the law is a little insane, even if it is because it wasn't implemented as intended; if you don't have any income, then you have to pay the full price for coverage on the exchange, no subsidies. Your income has to meet a certain minimum level to qualify for subsidies - the intent was that below that level, you'd get Medicaid.
