Well, it depends on many factors. Firstly, IMHO, the comparison with Oracle doesn't quite fit. A code analyzer is not a design/infrastructure dependency like a database. You can stop using the code analyzer and your software will continue to build.

Anyway, to give you an anecdote.. My current work is in a niche industry where "simple" software is often very expensive and prices are never displayed ( $10,000 per seat). What I've found is that often times, the company itself would let me know that their software is not a great fit for our company because I contacted them and explained the use case. Other times, not displaying the price allows them to give a price cut to smaller startups and "tax" larger companies for whom the price is negligible.
I use 1Password, a paid product, and haven't had any issues. I also don't worry about them going out of business any time soon.

I used KeePass in the past, and the issues there were more about how other people were using the same company password repository.
Sorely disappointed. I have a chronic illness. I don't get to sign up for five limited days of torment, prep for it, then be done. Every single day involves trying to just not give up.

I hate that people with chronic illness get written up like pathetic losers while people who choose to do stuff like this as a hobby are lauded for it.

Wimps, every last one of them.
Good for you that the market is so good, you can be insulted and walk away from an interview and still find a different job that doesn't do an extremely standard thing: basic technical screening.

Your credentials might speak for themselves. After all, you've been working for 30 years. 80% of the people I've hired have between 0 and 5 years work experience and without a technical screening I might as well just give them the job based on dice roll.

Usually I don't check credentials, and only use a resume to make a selection but don't use it _at all_ to determine if you're a good candidate after you've come in for an interview.
I find this comment extremely offensive. Microsoft is going to fix the namespaces in their SOAP for .net real soon now. In the meantime all you have to do is put a few patches in your non .net SOAP code to deal with the badly formed namespaces. Besides, those 20 patches have only been needed for ten years now.

Well, you can start by denying it. But as far as I know, nothing wikileaks publishes really ever gets denied.

If the people don't deny it, then it should be assumed to be true.
Expanding the hiring pool is valuable to these companies. Many companies also feel like they'll perform better with a more diverse group of employees. I sure felt like that about my company.

They probably _also_ feel like it's right. This is one of those social problems where both the business need and moral need match up.

My guess is that people who want racial diversity want class diversity, diversity of thought, cultural diversity, etc. These are not exclusive problems. In fact, if we got to a world state where race played no part in someone's job opportunities, I expect it would be easier to tackle the others.

That's why it's called "data mining" - you keep digging until you find something. And with lots of data, you can always find something if you look hard enough - which leads to things like http://tylervigen.com/discover.
"Mobile advertising revenue represented approximately 84% of advertising revenue for the third quarter of 2016, up from approximately 78% of advertising revenue in the third quarter of 2015."

I can't think of a single reputable company that I would be interested in working at in a SDE role where they do not conduct data structure and algorithm intensive interviews. If you want to work at a brand name company as a developer today, you must be able to solve these interview questions.

> Also that law applies to everyone with an wlan router, not just coffee owners.

Very true. I'm only really thinking about it when I try out a new café that doesn't have WIFI.

I used to have 1GB on Blau. I'm trying desperately to cut all ties and get some money back from them but they're horrible, that's another story though.

In any case I've been paying about 10e for 1GB per month. Yes I can live it for sure, I often don't even go beyond 600Mb per month.

With unlimited data I would use my phone a lot differently though. I'd likely stream Audible Channels if I got the urge or found something interesting while on train, maybe I'd watch something on YT or check out new music.

Because of these expensive limited plans I'm not using my phone a lot. It's both a good thing but also a bit sad I think. I'm very much ranting here, sorry for that.

It's just weird coming from unlimited data that you pay 15e/month for (4G unlimited mind you) to this thing. Friends at home regularly surpass 10Gb per month because they're streaming music constantly. Some even use their phones as the only internet connection they have, skipping landlines entirely!

Chat's may or may not be deemed business records by a prudent attorney and therefore it may be possible to not retain them for reasons similar to those under which computer logs are not maintained. That might make complying with non-realtime HIPAA requirements simpler.

Relative to IT requirements, the trend is toward much higher ratios of machines to IT staff due to virtualization and orchestration. I suspect that over time, healthcare organizations will get more containers.

Anyway, I was not thinking just about healthcare...nor thinking that lack of slack is one of the significant areas in which improvement is needed in the now.
I used to have that. It was my Nokia n900. I was able to pull up live thumbnail previews of all apps running in the background, and this included live simultaneous previews of: youtube videos in a web browser, games, and Debian, without lag. Try doing that on today's technology. It had a wonderfully acurate resistive touch screen that was pressure senstive that was really good for drawing and coloring! The camera would start up immediately as soon as I opened the shutter, even while the screen is off and in a sleep state. My modern android device takes so much longer to even get the shutter ready.

I loved always having access to a physical keyboard and an actual root linux shell out of the box without any hacking. I loved that my n900 behaved more like a computer and less like "mobile" device.

Too bad Nokia decided to end support for the n900. Most of its developers and lots of its users abandoned ship, and now I only use it as a camera because the n900 is stuck in 2009, and the web in 2016 is so bloated and heavy that nothing- not even the web browser or the unupdated apps- are usable now.
Its interresting, apple was slow to catch on with the larger phones market. So I guess they decided that a bigger ipad was the way to go, even though the market seems to be going in the other direction for tablets.

I myself find the 7-8" form factor preferable for reading in bed/watching movies/etc over the larger tablets. Its lighter, yet the buttons are large enough to still be fairly usable. I've sorta stopped questioning every strange thing apple does, but the larger tablets don't really appear to be catching on...

Firefox OS used the android closed source driver vendor centric model and a html/js frontend.

It had most of the downsides of android (closed drivers, no updates after 6 months, buy a new device or get exploited, beholden to vendors, OEMs and telcos which invariably suck, central control over software distribution), and zero of the upsides (abysmal performance [even the dialer was a laggy mess], lack of software)

Except for the fact you might trust Mozilla more than google, it wasn't anymore meaningfully open than android, and suffered crippling drawbacks in comparison. Nobody except a few developers cared that you can write apps in html/js.
I'm still using my N950 with Meego. Very nice device and OS. My other phone runs Ubuntu Mobile which is also very nice.

Judging from the video, the state of Plasma Mobile is very impressive.
I believe it is to emphasize that they are people first, not "colored" people. I'm not big into political newspeak but that one makes sense to me.
It just goes around in a circle, given long enough.
So they are inventing ASN.1 again, for the third time. Next thing they will invent distinguished encoding rules so data can be hashed without decoding.
I never had a Meego phone, or a Nokia at all. But I still want an N900: Physical keyboard, a hackable Linux base, and a system that's not very powerful, but usually powerful enough. And that was in '09.

It may be underpowered now, but that physical keyboard still makes my envious: I could almost maybe write code on something like that.

Technically, they were threatening to shut off access to target2.

Ioannis Papandoniou is likely happy that you're unwilling to let him take too much of the blame. I guess he's suffered enough already right?

Goldman Sachs too (couldn't have happened without them).

>That said I don't think the current situation makes much sense.

It seems to be functioning as intended. Desperation in Greece is driving emigration to Northern Europe which is keeping a lid on wage inflation there and privatization of state assets in underway, which affords profitable opportunities for the right sort of person: http://www.cnbc.com/2016/09/29/greek-privatization-program-o...

Traditional media companies are really feeling the pain now, and it is probably going to be even worse for them when the advertisers turn even more of their money to google and facebook.
Nope. And I, if I was Facebook, would not be proud of this stats. Don't put all your eggs in the same basket. Now, FB and Google has the opposite profit behavior. And I think it will be bad to both of them. Maybe they will meet in the middle, and lose their cash cow.
The individuals probably are acting on a moral belief, but an organization can't do things out of the goodness of its heart.
>Same with eating habits.

bad food is more appealing to eat. Is there something more appealing about not being grateful? probably. In which case constantly beating yourself is over doing the right thing as the article suggests is not going to work.

Same reason most diets don't work. you mind cannot deal with constant conflict all day, you have to understand and resolve the conflict, not chastise yourself all day.
But advertisers want to target their advertisements to specific demographics. How can you target the user (identify the user's demographic, to select which ad to show) if you can only collect limited information based on the load of the static image?

Ultimately you would end up with a model where advertisers target based on website, rather than user demographic.

1. You are fortunate to have that option.

2. Do you think you might have sold yourself short? In other words, if you had practiced one of these do you think you might have ended up in a place which you enjoyed more?

The premise of question 2 is that the interview process does not represent the job or company. In many cases, I think this premise is valid.

From my understanding, this project started as Savant. Savant pitched to YC15, didn't get in and slowed down work - eventually stopping. They made the project open source. It appears Atlas Recall is a repackaged version of Savant http://bitpixi.livejournal.com/6486.html

Do you plan on giving any acknowledgment to the actual creators of what is now known as Atlas Recall - not that it is required of course. From what I have read, the creators did invest almost 2 years working on the project.

Would that not be fairest?

> Since race is only skin deep

It's about institutionalized racism, so race is what we should be looking at.

Besides, your idea wouldn't be that interesting considering how underrepresented women are regardless of race.
I found the OECD's executive summary for Greece (2016) for context:

#The economy is gradually recovering from a deep recession but high social costs persist

Following a deep and prolonged depression, during which real GDP fell by 26%, the economy is projected to grow again in the course of 2016 and 2017, but a full recovery will take time. Competitiveness has improved markedly, but exports and investment remain weak. The unemployment rate, at 25%, is still high despite a moderate decline since 2013. The depression has pushed many people into poverty and income inequality has increased. Tax and benefit reforms have materially improved the budget position, but the burden of adjustment has been uneven and public debt is still very high. The banking sector has recently been recapitalised, but credit creation remains weak due to the high burden of non-performing loans on banks’ balance sheets, and reduced demand for loans.

#Significant structural reforms have been legislated, but their mix and implementation were uneven

Greece has implemented significant labour market reforms, but progress has been less on reducing oligopoly power, the regulatory burden and weaknesses in the public administration, due to administrative capacity constraints, little ownership of past reform programmes and vested interests. The depressed economy, lack of bank finance and remaining structural impediments are holding back the modernisation of the Greek economy.

#Stronger exports and investment are a key to sustained recovery

Remaining structural barriers and administrative burdens raise costs of exporting. Greece’s integration in global value chains is low due to insufficient investment in human and knowledge-based capital, low inward FDI, the small size of enterprises and the manufacturing sector and weak infrastructure. Network industries have been liberalised but the still restrictive regulation of the energy and transport sectors reduces trade in both goods and services.
I've been in software tech for nearly 20. Only once did I take a job which didn't require coding in the interview process. I quickly regretted it.

> The fact it overlaps with a popular social goal is just an added bonus for marketing and internal feel-good.

This gets to the core of the issue: in a late stage capitalistic society, meaningful social change ONLY happens when it is aligned with business incentives.

Why did the world abandon Maemo? I had a nokia n900, and I swear, it was the greatest phone I ever used. The UI was beautiful, and for 2009, its performance was stunning. I got so used to it and immersed in the "maemo" way of doing things, that when I "upgraded" to a "modern" android phone, I felt as though I had taken a step backwards, despite having hardware that's theoretically better!
> Is the world freaking out over the consumers ability to 'control which ads come up in a specific app'?

They should be. Unfortunately, most people don't understand what a Turing machine is, and so it is difficult to explain why it is important to fight back against the people - like you - who are waging a War On General Purpose Computers[1].

I'm sorry if your business model relies upon most people not using all of the capabilities of their General Purpose Computer. I suggest updating to a business model that is more compatible with modern technology, because trying to prevent people from controlling their own devices is a civil war[2] that will cause increasingly worse problems into the future.

Tried Facebook ads for Pokemon Go ( 2nd largest Facebook group in my country - Belgium), had some success there ( 330.000 people reach / week for a month). But it's not worth it for regular businesses. I started a webshop and Google AdWords seems to be the way to go.

Side note, we did events. One Facebook group had 2x as many members and was also spanning the Netherlands, they had 1/10th of our ticket sales. We were the first to combine amusement parks with Pokémon Go ( and cheaper then normal tickets, our revenue was a % on the ticket price)

Facebook seems to be an empty bucket. The ones who share your posts, share everything from everyone, while you give things away for free. It's the only way to receive a lot of likes, but those aren't the people you want and going to buy your stuff.

You aren't anything with likes. Invest in newsletters and a decent email campaign, that way you don't have to pay for the people that 'subscribed' to you, to let them see posts.

Ps. Pokemon Go was 0,03 € / like. Normal businesses pay 1€ / like in my experience. Don't go that road :)

Ps2. I don't do remarketing too. But that's personal preference, as i don't want to stalk people. I want them to find me, when they are looking for me

Ps3. AdWords for me is 1€/ day, which is the minimum. And I'm quite happy with it for my niche, which gives me 10 visitors and 1 purchase every 2 days ( pretty high margin)

Ps4. If you want to go on Facebook, remember you have to pay for: promoting your post, promoting your page and promoting your website. So facebook passes 3 times at the cash register. Pokemon Go was all on max for several days, which is 50€ x 3 per day! And in case you forgot, likes !== Customers and you still have to write good content :)
